Angela Mouly Reporter

Approximately 200 people attended the 3rd Annual Work-Stress-Life “Striking A Balance” Conference at the Vermilion Regional Centre on January 29. Participants had the opportunity to hear from multiple speakers and visit 15 wellness vendors and agencies. There were several door prizes, and even a mini session for college students in the evening. Keynote speaker, Kevin Hines, shared his story and said, “It is okay to not be okay. It is not okay to not ask for help.” He also noted that listening to music has the power to affect people’s brains in a good way. Happiness Basics were shared by the Kalyna Country PCN; and MEd, Psy, CCC, Derek Collins shared The Body’s Response To Trauma. “The #1 population to suffer from PTSD is children in foster care; more than soldiers or first responders. When we go through or face a lot of stress with trauma, our toxic stress stays there and affects our

body and can affect our genes. For example, a study in Holland showed grandchildren of WWII survivors had signs of malnourishment even though their parents had none. In Canada, with women pregnant during the Ice Storm, their children showed signs of weaker immune systems and were more sensitive to stress. Especially in our rural areas, I can’t imagine how hard being a first responder must be with the probability of knowing those you are attending. In regards to the reconciliation process, I was asked, ‘Haven’t we done enough?’ but as we are becoming more aware of generational trauma, I think we need to change our response,” said Collins. He challenged participants to answer an adverse child experiences questionnaire as well as a resilient youth strengths inventory. After noting the importance of healthy relationships, and that people can learn to regulate their emotions; he suggested strategies including meeting people where they are at, preparing to be tested, connect and clarify, create safety, plan for bumps

in the road, build a web of support, and encourage staff wellness. “All behaviours are a form of communication,” added Collins. Speaker, Michelle Cederberg shared the Success Energy Equation. She said, “Some days we need a little boost, but we are put on this planet to make a big impact. We have control over so much more than we give ourselves credit for. Ask yourself, ‘What is your version of success?’ We all have the capacity to build greatness in our lives. One of the best things we can do is keep the vessel full. Ask yourself, ‘What are you passionate about or what fulfills you?” said Cederberg. She encouraged participants to get present, and stop living on auto-pilot. She suggested setting goals, writing them down and putting them where you can see them every day; keeping a positive mindset and assessing how they can achieve their goals; adding discipline by adjusting habits, and adding energy by maintaining healthy exercise, nutrition, sleep, relaxation, and relationships.

Overall, everyone enjoyed the conference, with powerful reminders from the speakers, and the promotion of wellness for oneself or the community. “I’ve attended this conference all three years, with it getting bigger every year. It’s a great venue to interact with other agencies and become known as a resource for this community,” said FASD Educator, Jen Willes. Participant Shirley Scott said, “Because of these speakers, people have learned total awareness about topics that don’t get brought forward, as well as available resources and their role.” “The topics came from the surveys filled out last year, and the conference was a huge success. Listening to the speakers today gave us all hope, and gave us an opportunity to learn that it’s okay to ask for help. A big thank you to our donors; without their support, this conference wouldn’t be possible. Thank you also to the conference committee for all of your hard work,” said conference chair, Darla Yonkman.

Boosting Your Immune System

Angela Mouly Reporter

The Cornerstone Co-op Pharmacy in Vermilion hosted a Boosting Your Immune System event on January 31. Pharmacist, Kim Clarke, led the presentation, and participants enjoyed cof fee and fruit while they learned about beneficial practices. It included vitamins and minerals, as well as natural ways to boost one’s immune system. Clarke recommended that everyone check with their doctor or pharmacist that methods are safe and won’t interact with their medication. “Be careful about what you hear or read online. Natural doesn’t always mean safe, but there are some known/ proven natural things that can boost your immune system. Being healthy and taking care of your body is important. Nobody likes being sick, and these

methods can reduce the number of days that people have to miss from work. Not only are you looking out for yourself, but also for those around you, and the community as a whole,� said Clarke. The presentation included recommendations to eat a healthy diet, exercise, and get adequate sleep. It also noted that hand washing is the best way to stop the spread of infections. “Various vitamin/mineral deficiencies can affect the immune system, but mega-doses of a single vitamin have not been shown to have any beneficial effect on the immune system. If you suspect your diet is not providing you with all your micronutrients taking a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement is the best way to support healthy immunity. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased susceptibility to infec-

tion. When used orally long-term, doses should not exceed 4000IU per day for adults. Echinacea has been known to reduce the severity and duration of colds when started in the early signs of a cold. Elderberry is known to reduce the symptoms and duration of influenza infection when given within 48 hours of initial symptoms. Probiotics (good bacteria) help to restore the balance in your gut, helping your immune system to defend itself against pathogenic organisms. Probiotics can be purchased at your pharmacy, but yogurt is also a great source of probiotics. Ginseng decreases the risk of developing symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection such as the common cold or flu in adults. 200-400 mg twice daily

over a three month period during influenza season has shown to reduce the risk of getting repeat colds in a season. Oregano oil is known for its healing and immune-boosting properties. It fights infections naturally due to its antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral and anti-parasite activity,� said Clarke in her presentation. She noted that if people have any questions, their community pharmacist is easily accessible, and willing to provide evidence-based information. Cornerstone Co-op Pharmacy will continue to have information sessions on a regular basis. If anyone has suggestions for topics that they would like covered, they can call 780-853-4119 or stop by Co-op Pharmacy Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m., or Saturday – Sunday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Legion Lifetime Membership Ceremony

The Royal Canadian Legion’s Field Marshal Alexander Branch # 11 held an Installation Ceremony and a Lifetime Membership Ceremony at their general meeting on January 28. Acting Sergeant at Arms, Barry Roth, presented each new and existing executive member to the podium; and Alberta/ North West Territories Command’s 1st Vice President, John Mahon, installed and awarded members. The new Vermilion Legion executives are as follows: Jim Bristowe - Sergeant at Arms; Shirley Charchun – Secretary; Bruce Marriott – Treasurer; Wayne Freestone – Chairman; Gordon Hills – Service Officer; Aubrey Bell – Chaplain; Marlene Campbell, George Matechuk, Barry Roth, and Ed Mistal – Directors; Katherine Cooper - 2nd Vice President; Dale Pierce - 1st Vice President; Garry Zayac – President. “Not often enough do we recognize the work that some of our members put in here,” said Comrade Wayne Freestone as he began the Lifetime Membership Ceremony to recognize outstanding members. “While attending high school, Comrade Barry Roth was enlisted with the Vermilion Army Cadet Corps for three years, completing two summer camp courses in Manitoba and British Columbia. While working full-time, Comrade Barry Roth spent 23 years with the Armed Forces Reserves under the Civilian Instructors Cadre in training, supply, band officer at 1390 Red Deer Army Cadet Corps and later with 2645 Vermilion Army Cadet Corps until retiring as Commanding Officer in 2004. An active member of Legion bands around the province, Comrade Roth formed the Lakeland Pipe & Drum Band in 1999. He goes out of his way to ensure that he makes himself available for all Veteran’s funerals, and since 2007, is the keeper of all historical Branch #11 artifacts. Comrade Roth has volunteered his own equipment and tools, and has put in thousands of hours over the years into building display cases that preserve badges, photos, documents, and uniforms along with writing what each piece is and who it belonged to. With the help of the Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation, he has also created a library of memorials of fallen comrades for Branch #11,” said Chairman Wayne Freestone. Roth has volunteered to pipe for legions around the region, as well as at schools for their Remembrance Day Ceremonies. He has been a member of the Vermilion Legion Branch #11 for 35 years, was the Sergeant at Arms in 2007, and volunteers every year for the annual poppy drive. Comrade Roth humbly accepted his lifetime membership from AB/ NWT Command 1st Vice President, John Mahon. Comrade Garr y Zayac joined the Vermilion Legion in 2005 as an affiliate

non-voting, and became membership chairman in the fall of 2006. In 2007 he was approved for affiliate voting, and he still holds the position of membership chairman today. From 2011 - 2013, he was voted 1st Vice President, in 2014 was voted President, and 2015 Past President. In 2016, he was voted back in as President, and remains President of Branch # 11 today. “Since joining our branch, Comrade Garry Zayac has gone above and beyond the duty of a Legion member, executive member, and President. His devoted dedication for the Royal Canadian Legion is truly an honour and outstanding accomplishment for Field Marshal Alexander Branch #11. For the past 15 years, Comrade Zayac has maintained the branch’s barbeques by replacing parts, and cleaning on a weekly basis throughout the year. Each week he puts in 6 – 8 hours, which on average is 400 hours per year. He also volunteers working the bar, at banquets, and repairs and maintains all equipment and furniture. He has made numerous trips to Edmonton and Lloydminster to pick up parts or groceries. On average, the executive of Branch #11 estimate that Comrade Zayac’s volunteer hours are well over 1,000 year after year. Comrade Zayac goes out of his way to ensure that when help is needed by our Veterans, he will always be the first there. He has assisted in transporting Veterans from the now closed Mannville Legion to the Vermilion Branch, and has overhauled and re-built bathrooms to accommodate Veterans with disabilities. For years as President, he has always attended District Rallies in the spring and fall, and attended the AB/NWT Convention, as well as visits most all Legions in the district. In addition, he is one of the few members who can always be counted on to help with Remembrance,” said Treasurer, Bruce Marriott. AB/ NWT Command 1st Vice President, John Mahon went on to present President, Garry Zayac with a lifetime membership.

1st Vice President Mahon went on to say, “F.M. Alexander Branch is doing outstanding, and it’s because of people like Barry and Garry.” Following the presentations, Poppy

Growing up in Vermilion through the late ’70 s and early ’80s there was an aspect of culture i n ev i d e n c e t h a n pretty much wherever you went that you wouldn’t notice much in public now. There is some…but not as ubiquitous tripping over it as it was then. Times change obviously…fads and trends a big part of actually defining those changes. When 80’s culture is being relived now it is noticeable to one who lived through it, especially when largely in evidence in ways like driving to a practice this week and the radio station is bleating it is ‘All 80’s Night’. Of course, I didn’t change the station once the whole trip. It was couple additional trips recently

We would recommend Callie for a home with older children and adults just because of her higher energy. She is very treat motivated, so if you have some of those on you, expect her to be your new best friend. Callie is just looking for a home that will love her, run around with her and then when you’re both exhausted, hang out on the couch together. So, if Callie sounds like the dog for you, then come and meet her at the SPCA today, she already can’t wait!

Short Circuit To The Arcade

out with the family that ended up oriented around a cast of characters none of my kids were around to witness that brought on all the thinking again about what it was: the arcade. I suppose the memory them never really went away…a guy just opened his website today for the classic arcade in his garage he is renting for events like birthday parties and such out here in Strathcona County. It was also the clever connection of the Disney movie ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ between the current Internet culture my kids are living presently through now and a childhood that my friends and I spent visiting all the little arcades in Vermilion that made an interesting bond between the generation gap between parent and kid you don’t often get to bridge easily. Now for those who didn’t live through the ’80s and Vermilion back then, it’s not like there are any plaques on the spots where

the arcades were to go and point to those little cultural touchstones that say ‘I played Pac-Man first here’. I mentioned in a previous column about there was first a small arcade set up on the Vermilion fairgrounds under a tent in the late ’70s. Shortly after that, the video gaming fad (and money to be made from it) took off and it wasn’t long before there were small arcades or the odd arcade cabinet popping up everywhere, the first an arcade north across from the library where most of those early arcade classics got experienced. Funny how you remember those things but when kids ask questions about “what was that’ in a movie they are seeing now and you can actually take guilty pleasure explaining.

oped the only electronic based addiction I ever witnessed him have: a thing for getting a high score on ‘Desert Gun’. And of course, there was Trifon’s Pizza on main street…where many visits after school hours and weekends were spent with your quarter on the bezel waiting your turn in the lineup in trying to get the street cred of your initials as the high score. For those of us that did grow up with our hometown arcades, once we graduated out of school and left for our new adult lives the fad was pretty much over and timed like our childhood was. There was the odd machine at a bus station in the Edmonton or a ‘Ms. Pac-Man’ at a laundromat in Taber to kill time off work and still get that ‘fix’. Might have to rent that brand new garage arcade nearby if only to experience that unique sight and sound of an arcade again…and for a couple hours be that teenager again back in Vermilion.

Privacy To support an open and transparent process, information you send to the AUC will be publicly available through the AUC’s eFiling System. If there is confidential information you would like to file, a request must be made in advance of filing your submission.

Additional information about the applications The applications and any associated documents are publicly available and can be accessed from the eFiling System on the AUC website www.auc.ab.ca. Alternatively, for more information about what is being applied for, or for a copy of the applications, please contact: ATCO Electric Ltd. Nathan Jones Phone: 1-855-420-5775 Email: facilityapp@atcoelectric.com

Participant information session

Proceeding 24102 Applications 24102-A001 to 24102-A004 The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), the independent utilities regulator, will be considering the transmission development applications in Proceeding 24102. If you feel you may be affected by these applications you can provide input to the AUC to review before it makes its decision.

Written submissions are due March 8, 2019. ATCO Electric Ltd. has applied, under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act, to rebuild the existing Transmission Line 7L65 to allow the facility to operate at full thermal capacity. Transmission Line 7L65 is located between the existing Vegreville 709S Substation and the existing Vermilion 710S Substation. ATCO Electric Ltd. is seeking approval to construct a new single-circuit 144-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. This new line will replace the existing Transmission Line 7L65, which is approximately 93 kilometres (km) in length. The rebuilt line will consist of an approximately 22-km segment (designated as Transmission Line 7L134) between the Vegreville 709S Substation and the approved Vincent 2019S Substation, and an approximately 77-km segment (designated as new Transmission Line 7L65) between the Vincent 2019S Substation and the Vermilion 710S Substation. The attached map identifies the applied-for routes, which include a preferred route and five alternative route segments (collectively called the alternate route) for new Transmission Line 7L65 and Transmission Line 7L134. The Commission may approve the preferred route, the alternate route, or a combination of the preferred route and one or more alternative route segments. 19021TA3 ATCO Electric Ltd. is also seeking approval to alter the approved Transmission Line 7LA65, by moving the approved tap location on Transmission Line 7L65 to a point on new Transmission Line 7L65, and to alter the existing 144-kV Transmission Line 7L129. The alteration of Transmission Line 7L129 would involve rebuilding approximately 800 metres of this line on double-circuit structures with new Transmission Line 7L65. The double-circuit transmission line segment would be located in the northeast quarter of Section 36, Township 50, Range 7, west of the Fourth Meridian.

The AUC will be holding an information session to present information about how you may become involved in this proceeding and the funding which may be available to you to support your position, which includes costs for legal representation and expert witnesses. The project and its merits will not be discussed at this session: Pomeroy Inn & Suites 6539 Highway 16A W Vegreville, Alta. T9C 0A3 Monday, February 25, 2019, at 7 p.m. If you cannot attend the information session, but want to learn more about the review process please contact us or visit our website and review the information under “Have your say” and under “Review process.”

Submissions If you wish to participate in this proceeding, please visit our website and log in to the eFiling System, go to Proceeding 24102, and register to participate under the “registered parties” tab. Alternatively, please contact us at 310-4AUC or info@auc.ab.ca for more information or assistance with filing your submission. The lead application officer, Kal Elkassem, can also be contacted at kal.elkassem@auc.ab.ca or 403-592-4388. The AUC may make its decision without further notice or process if no written submissions are received.

A Bouquet For Every Bride The perfect bouquet is one that highlights the bride’s attire without stealing the spotlight from her. Here are a few popular bridal bouquet styles to consider: • Round. Ideal if you’re on the petite side. Keep it simple, delicate and short. As a general rule, avoid dense foliage, cascading bouquets and long stems. That being said, longer stems can be flattering if you’re quite curvy.

• Cascading. Perfect for tall, thin brides. Choose a bouquet with long stems and cascading foliage to highlight your waist. • White. Great if your dress is colourful; not so great if it’s white or off-white. • Colourful. For energetic brides who aren’t afraid to turn heads. If your dress is also colourful, make sure you show it to your florist to avoid unfortunate clashes. Photo supplied

Three Unique Wedding Reception Ideas If you’re getting married, but the thought of a traditional wedding reception leaves you cold, try one of these three fun alternatives: 1. Brunch reception For early birds, a morning ceremony and brunch reception is the way to go. Ask your preferred breakfast spot to cater and then ser ve all of the break fast classics with espresso drinks to wake your guests up. Just because it’s early in the day doesn’t mean you have to have a dry

wedding — mimosas anyone? 2. Backyard barbeque If you prefer to spend your Saturday nights drinking beer and hanging out with friends, why not have a backyard wedding? Find a caterer that specializes in barbeque and get dirty with some ribs or pulled pork. Serve local craft beers and set up some old-fashioned lawn games. 3. Cocktail party Do you find banquets a bore but still want to dance the night away?

Host a cocktail party! Your venue can pass around lots of appetizers and you can create a signature cocktail for the night. With this type of reception you can use a smaller space to accommodate your guests. A wedding reception that breaks with tradition can be more memorable, festive and affordable than the standard dinner and dancing that follows most nuptials. Your options are limited only by your Photo supplied imagination.

Three Wedding Photography Trends You Need To Know About Whether you spend two weeks or two years planning your wedding, it’ll be over in the blink of an eye. To ensure you capture the event with beautiful photographs you’ll appreciate for a lifetime, take a look at these three inspiring wedding photography trends: 1. Drone photography. If your wedding is taking place in a beautiful outdoor location, a drone can create awe-inspiring photos that are impossible to get from the ground. Since photography drones are basically minia-

ture helicopters with cameras attached to them, be sure to hire an experienced and licenced operator to avoid disaster. 2. Smoke bombs. Photographers are now incorporating colourful puffs of smoke that add an unexpected and untraditional element to wedding photos. Available in any colour, smoke bombs can be used in different ways to add touches of whimsy or drama to your pictures. 3. Photojournalistic photos. Also called reportage style photography,

these photos have a more candid and natural look than traditional shots. While your photographer will likely still cue you for some pictures, they’ll be using smaller, less obtrusive cameras to capture intimate moments from your wedding ceremony and reception. No matter what type of pictures you eventually want to see framed on your mantle, the key to having beautiful photographs you and your partner will love is to work closely with your Photo supplied photographer.

How To Supplement Your Wedding Invitations With A Wedding Website Wedding invitations traditionally include a few different cards and a whole lot of information. If you’re planning a wedding and want to cut down on the amount of paper you send, a wedding website is the perfect way to communicate with your guests. What needs to be on the invitation All basic information about your wedding needs to be on the invitation. This includes the full names of the bride and groom to be, the location of the wedding and the date and time it’ll take place. Traditionally, your parent’s names would also be included, but if you’re paying for your own wedding, you can take or leave this tradition. Include the URL

to your wedding website so people website know how to access it. Use the website to let your guests RSVP cards know about accommodations, the gift Your guests need a way to tell you registry and directions to the venue. whether or not they can make it to your wedding.

Was Your Farm Profitable In 2018?

Submitted

Now is a good time to gather information to convert cash statements to accrual income and expenses statements. Dean Dyck, farm business management specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, looks at how to check for farm profitability. “The majority of farms still report their incomes and expenses on a cash basis via their annual income tax returns with the goal of avoiding or postponing income tax,” explains Dyck. “Very few actually have an accurate accrual statement prepared to give them a true picture of profitability, and if their farm made a profit.” Dyck adds that the goal, after all, is to make a profit. “Accruing your income and expense statement also gives you the information so that you can drill down and really know your cost of production. It allows you to reflect on those decisions you made during the last cropping season, and to see if they generated a profit.” “With the right information you can conver t those cash statements to accrual,” he says. “This will give you a true picture of income and expense for your farm and if you made a profit. This information is invaluable in developing your projected income statements and marketing plan for 2019. It will allow you to make better decisions into the future and fully understand your cost of produc-

tion.” “You will have a better understanding of what your breakeven points are and when you can take a profit. This knowledge will direct your marketing plans, and your adoption of risk management tools to protect that profit. If you are currently operating as a corporation, the financial statements generated will include an accrued income statement.” Items that will affect the calculations are year-end numbers for inventories of livestock, crops for sale, feed on hand, purchased supplies, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued interest. Dyck says that now is the time to collect those numbers. “Most farmers will have these numbers available either from the year-end statement that they provide to their banker or accountant or from their annual AgriStability returns.” The only number that may not be readily available is the accrued interest at year-end, so he says that number can be requested or calculated at this time. “Producers need to have the required numbers for the beginning of the year and end of the year for the accrual adjustments to be calculated properly for any given year. 2018 year-end numbers become 2019 beginning year numbers. Ask your accountant or business advisor to assist you in accruing your cash statement.” Depreciation is the tricky one, says Dyck. “Income tax returns may have

capital cost allowance (CCA) numbers, but those can be quite different from the actual depreciation numbers that should be charged as a business expense. For the historical accrued net farm income numbers to be meaningful, depreciation amounts must reflect true depreciation of the assets used to generate an income. This may be close to 16 per cent for your equipment line and two to four per cent for your grain and machinery storage. If you are in an intensified livestock operation, depreciation on building and equip-

ment could be higher.” “The primary goal of any business is to generate a positive net income and to make a profit. Profit is not a dirty word. Once you make a profit, the issue is how to invest it and protect it from being taxed,” he adds. To learn how to accrue income and expense statements go to The Income and Expense Statement. For more information, visit the Farm Manager Homepage or call the Albert Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

The c hair may also provide innovation related to whole -farm sustainabilit y from economic, social and environmental perspectives. “This position will provide much needed expertise in the area of cropping systems,” said Terr y Young, board chair of WGRF. “Farmers don’t just grow one crop. Focusing research on a multi-crop systems approach will help lead to innovative farming practices and technologies that boost

yield and crop quality while controlling crop diseases and insects, improving profitability and sustainability.” “We are grateful for this new investment by WGRF to support hiring a new chair in our faculty,” said Stan Blade, dean of the Faculty of Agric u l t u r a l, L i fe a n d Env i r o n m e n t a l Sciences. “ We appreciate the willingness of WGRF leadership and producers across Western Canada to invest in the future of our sector. The new chair will develop a program that will create new ideas through innovative research and will train the next generation of people needed by the industry.” “ WGRF i s fo c u s e d o n t ak i n g a whole-farm approach to research.

decided to draw lots to see who would go to art school, while the other worked and supported them. Then they would switch. However, after Albrecht became successful, his friend Frans was no longer able to learn the skills of an artist as he had damaged his hands, with all his hard labour. One day Albrecht saw his loyal friend kneeling, his rough hands entwined in silent prayer. Albrecht quickly sketched the hands, later using the rough sketch to create his masterpiece known as “The Praying Hands”. This famous portrait of the hands folded in prayer is a tribute to the spirit of love and sacrifice of his friend Franz. Congratulations to all the Happigram winners for the improvements they have made in their reading, math and other subjects, and for being excellent role models and students in their classrooms during the month of January. It was a beautiful afternoon to go skating on the outside rink, on Friday, January 24, as the grade 3/4 class got some exercise and fresh air. Thank you to Mr. Bodurka for helping to tie skates, do up helmets and assist our beginner skates. The Faith-In-Action-Team (FIAT) had a great turn out last week of Jr. High

The students had a great time and learned a lot of important information. Thank you VIBE personnel for offering such an amazing day for our students. This round of Creative Kids is focusing on yarn crafts such as crocheting, finger knitting, spool knitting, and wheel weaving. Learning yarn crafts like these have many benefits such as fine-motor coordination, reading instructions, using math skills to change size and measure, social skills, problem solving, and perseverance. Many people find these creative skills support mental wellness. Mostly, learning yarn crafts is fun. Science in Motion was at our school on January 24 and 25. In Grade 3, students

were engineers and they learned that the strongest shape was a triangle. They then put this theory into practice by building with Lego using instruction cards. Grade 4 students learned about the properties of light and that white light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow. Students reflected and refracted (bent) light beams as they passed through a variety of objects. Finally students enjoyed looking at 3-D pictures through colored glasses. Grade 5 students learned about series and parallel circuits. They even tried their hand at making a doorbell and window alarm

work. Most topics the Grade 6 students were learning from the Sky Science unit – planets, constellations, moons - were discussed as they enjoyed time in an inflatable planetarium. Dates to Remember: Feb 6 – Assembly at 10:45; Feb 6 – Dress up City or Country; Feb 7 – Science Fair; Feb 8 – No School; Feb 18 – No School; Feb 20 – 100th Day of School; Feb 21 – Purple Pinkie Day; Feb 21 – Celebration of Learning from 5:007:30; Feb 25 – School Council Meeting at 7:00; Feb 27 – Pink Shirt Day; Mar 1-31 – Spring Fundraiser

Did you know that most New Year’s Resolutions are abandoned by around January 12? That is just 12 days into a new year. Given that we are well past that date, it is probably safe to assume that many of us have lost the motivation to continue with our best intentions for 2019. The majority of resolutions focus on health and fitness. If you are frustrated and are slipping or have given up, consider implementing one small change at a time rather than a complete nutrition and lifestyle overhaul all at once. Mindful eating is a very simple way to not only eat a little less, it is a great way to increase the enjoyment of your food. Remember that mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, non-judgmentally. This means that we stop, engage our senses, and pay attention to what is happening right now and when our attention wanders, and it will,

Mindful Eating

that we don’t harshly judge ourselves, but simply redirect our focus back to the present. Mindful eating is paying closer attention to the positive and nurturing choices that we make when we choose, prepare, and consume food. It involves slowing down and engaging multiple senses as we enjoy our food. Mindless eating often happens when eating in front of the TV or an electronic device, eating in a car, eating while working, or eating while walking or moving around the house. Mindful eating often occurs while seated at a table either alone or with others. It helps us to become more aware of true hunger and fullness cues which can positively contribute to our health and wellness goals. It also increases our enjoyment of our food as we take more time to enjoy the aromas, the textures, the beautiful colors, and the amazing flavours. Mindful eating can also be a way to practice gratitude. Often, we take for granted the beautiful, nourishing food we have on our plates, the choices we have in terms

of the food we consume, and the care and effort put into growing or raising it, transporting it to us, and its preparation. Here are some mindful eating tips that you may want to try: Slow down and prepare to eat by taking 5 deep breaths before you begin to help get you into the present moment. Try eating in silence, even for part of the meal. Put your fork down in between bites and slow down or try switching your fork to your non-dominant hand. Notice the colours of your food on your plate, the aromas of each item or the lovely blend of them together, pay attention to the varied textures as you take a bite, and listen to the sounds that our food makes as we consume it. Check in with yourself a few times as you are eating to observe how full you might be feeling and then try to stop eating when you feel about 70 percent full. Consider taking a moment to give thanks either silently to yourself or out loud

as a family. Eating mindfully doesn’t have to be something that you do every time you eat. Even taking a few minutes each day can help you to be more aware of your entire eating experience and can go a long way towards supporting positive change in your healthy eating goals. Remember, small changes can often be the most sustainable over time.

“Broken” How Are You Feeling?

Is your heart feeling broken? February is considered the month of romance with flowers, cards, candy, poetry, etc. February can also be a very hard month of reminders of this not being the norm. For many it is the reminder of love lost through death and the grief journey that you are now on and the emptiness you feel. The loss of a companion, a partner, changes who you are from who you were. You are forced to adjust to being a single, not a couple, anymore. Life is stressful being single, with all the responsibilities and decisions, becoming a heavy load for one. A lonely place is often at the end of the day, with no companionship or person to converse with about the day. With this comes the sense of helplessness and hopelessness and nowhere you feel you fit. You are on a courageous journey and here are some tips that may help. • Acknowledge the loss, accept your-

self with all the emotions and thoughts you experience, you are someone” new.” • Acknowledge the depth of the loss, accept the pain of grief and live through the pain, not avoid it. • Gather courage to reach out to compassionate, positive persons to journey with you, or seek a counsellor or a grief support group. • Understand your grief is unique and so will be your journey. Grieve at your own pace. • Hang on, death and loss may come but love and memories never go away. There is another grief journey that is experienced that is often not spoken of or thought of as grief. The loss of relationships (divorce and separation) causes broken hearts and broken dreams of the “happily ever after”. A state of brokenness creates a change, loss and begins the grieving process. Though not often talked about, still felt deeply with new feelings and experiences

emerging. Isolation, job and financial demands as a single, diminished personal self worth, loneliness, depression which can also lead to substance abuse, physical, and mental health issues. Children are also impacted by the brokenness and grief. Stats Canada reported in 2016 children living with one parent was 5,733,935. 2 in 10 of those aged 0 – 14 were with a parent and 1in 10 with a step family. What, if anything would help to deal with the deep sadness of grief and the feeling of brokenness a family experiences? • Recognize that this is a time of grief, just as in any loss and this affects both you and your children. • Learn about the grief process and

find positive supports for both you and your children.ie Empowerment Courses, Counsellors, positive friends and family and support groups for yourself and your children. . • Remember to acknowledge, and work through the grief in order to heal the brokenness and work toward a “new beginning”.

Planning For Farm Success In Today’s Times

(N C) Far m in g i s a c o m p li c ate d business that can experience significant change. The best way to weather disruptions is by having a good business plan in place. There are countless variations of business plans depending on the size, age and type of operation. A highly complex, expanding farm with younger owners and multiple stakeholders will require a very comprehensive plan. On the other hand, a well-established, family-owned business under the same ownership for decades can probably manage with a short summary. Regardless of the complexity of your business planning, Ryan Riese, national director of agriculture strategy at RBC shares a list of essential considerations: 1. U n d e r s t a n d y o u r c o s t s , including inflation. Keeping a good handle on costs helps

you maintain control over your operations and have a clear picture of your profitability and what it will take to drive more profit. 2. Clearly lay out your goals. If you start with the end goal in mind, it ’s easy to determine next steps. This should not be confined to financial goals. For example, do you want to plan for an early retirement? Do you want to grow the size of your o p e r a t i o n s? W h e r e d o y o u want to be in five or 10 years? Be sure to share those goals with your family members and team. 3. Use professionals to fill in skills gaps. More often than not, operators are strong on the big-picture side of the equation, but aren’t as proficient in handling the finer details of

developing a business plan. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help where needed. 4. Consider your risk factors and put in plans to mitigate them. It’s important to keep a strong balance sheet, so you may need to reduce your pace of expansion or explore your insurance options. 5. Review your business plan. The frequency will depend on the pace of change and your b u s i n e s s c yc l e s . G e n e r a l l y speaking, you should review your plan at least once a year. O ne impor tant thing to remem ber in all this is that the business plan document is not the end of the process. It is simply a tool that gives the operator the information they need to make sound decisions. Find more information online at Photo supplied rbc.com/chartyourcourse.
