Dignitaries and emergency services members gathered at the Kitscoty Hall on February 8, as the County of Vermilion River held their biennial Firefighter’s Appreciation Ball. County Chief, Orest Popil emceed the event, and guests enjoyed a meal followed by a presentation, and entertainment by the Les Lahey Band. County Reeve, Dale Swyripa said, “The recognition shown is truly deserving for what you do. A special thanks to Orest Popil; a man of commitment and care, and who’s experience allows him to react quickly. Vermilion-Lloydminster MLA Dr. Richard Starke, Kitscoty Mayor Daryl Frank, Marwayne Mayor Cheryl Eikland, Mayor of Paradise Valley Mary Arnold, Dewberry Mayor Ken Haney, and Vermilion Mayor Caroline McAuley were in attendance. Thank you all for the service you provide. We are immensely grateful to you for putting your time, effort, and safety on the line, and
putting your community first,” said Caroline McAuley. At a past celebration in the province with Lieutenant Governor Lois Mitchell, MLA Dr. Richard Starke noted that out of 200 recognised, over 30 came from this corner of the province. “It’s just amazing to me that over 90 per cent of firefighters in our province are volunteers. Firefighters in this area are some of the highest skilled in the province. Thank you for your dedication, commitment, and professionalism, as well as to your families for their support, and to your employers for allowing you to take the time to make your communities what they are today.” County Chief, Orest Popil thanked the firefighters and first responders and said, “Over the years the main thing was to have funding for training. It’s one big family here, and everyone does what they have to do to make it work.” County resident, Lisa Hansen shared her experience and thankfulness. She began her involvement in 2010 as a Lakeland College
Enrollment Specialist, where she marvelled at the culture of firefighters. She watched and at times interacted during their training, valuing those as “incredible” experiences. “Nearly one year ago on family day weekend my husband and I travelled from Marwayne to Vermilion and were heading back, but didn’t make it home. It happened so quickly! I woke pinned between the dash and the windshield in the seatbelt after a tractor had pulled out in front of us. I remember being told, ‘Hang on, help’s on the way.” I closed my eyes consumed in fear. Twelve members of the Vermilion Fire/ Rescue Squad arrived and I received my first feeling of hope. My husband and I are grateful to be alive. Our experience is not unique. All year long, I cannot imagine living for the tone calling you to go because somewhere someone like me needs you. It seems woefully inadequate, but all I have for you is a sincere thank you,” said Hansen. Long service awards and two medal ceremonies took place including Alberta Emergency Services Medals/Bars, and Fire
Services Exemplary Service Medals. “It has been quite a year for our County Fire and Rescue teams. Half way through 2018, the hours of service had doubled over the entire previous year. To the end of the year, 5,207 hours were spent responding to 408 calls within the County (an increase of 1,336 hours over 2017),” said Popil. Twelve, 22, 32, and even a 40 year medal/ bar were given on behalf of the province, and 20, 30, and a 40 year medals were given as federal recognition. County Fire Chief Orest Popil received a 20 year medal, Vermilion Fire Chief Bill Roth received 30 and 32 year medals, and Dewberry Mayor and Deputy Fire Chief Ken Haney received 30 and 32 year medals. The County of Vermilion River Fire Services includes Lloydminster Rescue, and departments in Dewberry, Clandonald, Vermilion, Islay, Marwayne, Kitscoty, Paradise Valley, and Blackfoot. Overall, everyone enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate firefighters and acknowledge their outstanding service in the County.

Johansen Bull Riding & Bullfighting School
Angela Mouly Reporter
Young athletes battled to improve their skills at the 27th Annual Johansen Bull riding - Bullfighting School held at Lakeland College in Vermilion from February 8 - 10. The school was aimed at having industry professionals teach the basics, and put athletes on the right course to becoming successful; not just in bull riding and bullfighting, but in all areas of life. Bruce Johansen along with Scott Schiffner, Jesse Torkelson, Todd Chotowetz, Monty Phillips, and Scott Byrne instructed the school. Participants received one-on-one coaching and after each ride were able to watch
instant replays to see exactly what things they had done well or could try to do differently. Approximately 30 participants travelled from all over Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, as well as one from Montana. Bullfighting participant, Cale Simanton from Foremost, Alberta attended for his second time this year and said, “I like the sport for the adrenaline rush and the opportunity to help everyone out, and help the cowboys when they are down. At this school, they are really hands on when explaining everything and the instant replay all weekend is really beneficial.” Bull riding participant from Raymond, Alberta, Kaydunn Henry, said that he got

into the sport because he grew up around it. “I got hooked on it and picked this school because I grew up around Scott and Jesse and they are great role models and teachers.” Instructor, Monty Phillips noted that there were a lot of repeat students and said, “Everyone definitely progressed. It’s very important for the industry to grow by finding new athletes to keep the sports of bull riding and bullfighting alive.” In past years, instructor Scott Byrne suggested participants look at their career seriously and like a business, and said, “You are representing a sport and culture. Be proud of what you do. Don’t be in a
hurry to go up too fast.” Instructor Scott Schiffner suggested that bull riders and bullfighters surround themselves with good people; people better than themselves to encourage growth. He also noted the importance of keeping their equipment and their fitness in good condition to avoid injury. In previous years, Schiffner said, “Bull riding is truly an individual sport. We lose 50 per cent of the time, so we are always overcoming adversity, but there’s nothing more fulfilling than when you are successful! The Champion is in you; you’ve got to pull it out. Make no mistake; you can’t just believe it; you have to take your will, drive, and desire and put it in motion.”

Truth and Reconciliation - Open Dialogue
The first “Truth and Reconciliation Open Dialogue -Tea and Bannock Session” in Vermilion was held at J.R. Robson School on February 10. âsokanihkewak (They Build Bridges) hosted the event in partnership with Vermilion River CLASS, BTPS, and St. Saviour’s Anglican Church. Panellists shared history and their perspectives on the need for ongoing truth and reconciliation. They offered a safe place for guests to feel comfortable asking uncomfortable questions. Information included the fur trade, confederation, residential schools, sixties scoop apprehensions, current education and funding, as well as personal stories and experiences. Emcee Kevin John said, “With many of their young and able hunters having succumbed to illnesses by now, and
virtually no game on their reserves, starvation was unavoidable; to the point of eating poisoned wolf carcasses, ill or dead horses, grass, their own moccasins, and in the most severe/remote cases - cannibalism.” He went on to explain that residential school students experienced atrocities including but not limited to haircuts upon arrival; burnt traditional clothing; starvation; rations with rotten food; physical, mental and sexual abuses; poisoning; and torture. Sixties Scoop apprehensions were often carried out without cause or prior notification, and adopted out to non-Indigenous families in Canada. Apprehensions often occurred forcibly with no explanation to the parent(s) or the children. It was shared that these methods were used as a way of systemically “killing the Indian in the child”. According to Statistics Canada, in 2011, there were more than 14,000 Aborigi-
nal children aged 14 and under in foster care. Aboriginal children accounted for 7 per cent of all children in Canada but for almost one-half (48 per cent) of all foster children. “This year, 46 per cent of the incarcerated youth in Canada are Indigenous, while making up only 8 per cent of the youth aged 14 – 17. Fragmented families result in a loss of culture and loss of language. They are left with no reasonable way to quantify healthy relationships. When you destroy the fabric of family, you destroy the fabric of a nation” said Kevin John. K e v i n ’s A u n t i e Ernestine John attended and shared her experience as a residential school survivor. Attending Blue Quills School,
3
she was angry with her parents for a time for not being able to stop them. She remembers being strapped and in her heart she forgives, but continues to live with the pain of having lost her language for a time. Glenda Bristow B. Ed, M. Ed. shared a brief history of education and funding for indigenous students in Canada. She pointed out that not many residential schools were located on a First Nation, but Onion Lake First Nation had two. Continued on page 12

Town Council
Angela Mouly Reporter
Vermilion Town Council met on February 5, and invited the public to comment on their draft of the 2018-2021 Strategic Plan. The strategic priorities of the draft include 1) Community Engagement 2) Grow a Resilient and Vibrant Community through strong economic development 3) Infrastructure for Today and Tomorrow 4) Enhance Health and Livability of the Community. More draft details will be made available at vermilion.ca, and residents can submit comments in writing to the Town Office, and via email, or social media until the end of February. Following review of the comments, the Strategic Plan will be finalized in March, and will continue to guide council through the remainder of their term. In Economic Development, Council accepted a letter of intent from McDonalds Restaurants of Canada towards the purchase of a one acre site in the Junction Sixteen 41 commercial development. Council also discussed 2019 Local Improvement Pavement for the Garnett Industrial Subdivision. To move the project forward, with an estimated cost of $352,798.25, three readings were given to By-Laws 1-2019 and 2-2019. In New Business, council carried a motion to accept the engineering
proposal from Bar Engineering Ltd. for the 2019 Street Improvement Program concerning Garnett Industrial Subdivision (near Fountain Tire) and an intersection reconstruction for 52 Street Service Road (near the Ventura Motel) for a total of $40,400.00 plus GST and a contingency of $4,040.00. Council also appointed a new Broadband subcommittee including members Councillor Robert Pulyk, Councillor Richard Yaceyko, Chief Administrative Officer George Rogers, Director of Infrastructure and Planning Services Derek Young, and Economic Development Officer Mary Lee Prior. They also ap p o inte d C oun c ill or Justin Thompson to the Vermilion River Regional Waste Management Services Commission. The 2019 Staff Negotiations were carried with a 1.0% cost of living adjustment for 2019, a 0.5% cost of living adjustment for 2020, and an additional $300 per year in the form of a health spending account. “I’d like to thank the staff for their patience and service to the community,” said CAO George Rogers. “With other municipalities having much higher increases, it was difficult. Ours needed to reflect the economy and our community, so thank you for working

through this,” added Mayor McAuley. Council approved no increase to rental rates for the Vermilion Regional Centre for 2020. Derek Young noted that the town received reduced tonnage to the transfer station resulting in a credit applied to next year. “In theory with organics coming, we should see additional saving,” added Young. “This is good news, and we have to thank our residents for jumping on this program. It is you that we have to thank for this savings,” said Councillor Pulyk. “There have been conversations with other municipalities not seeing the same numbers. The results of these recycling programs are encouraging other communities,” said Councillor Thompson. During round table discussions, Mayor McAuley noted looking into the requirements and feasibility of having SL4 beds in a current Vermilion facility, e.g. Valley Lodge. She also noted that the Town had received congratulations on their smoking legislations and were to be awarded for being a leader in the province in Edmonton on February 7. “ICSC was a very fruitful opportunity for us to meet up with some developers, even one looking to possibly build an SL4
facility,” said Mayor McAuley. Councillor McCullough noted the recent ACE Open House and that Islay is tentatively scheduled to begin February 11. “The Snowmobile Drag Races were a phenomenal event. There were over 100 sleds, and it was a lot of fun; they did a great job,” said McCullough. Regarding the Vermilion & District housing Foundation, Councillor Henderson said, “It’s really neat to see positive changes; the staff seem happy, as are the residents which is the most important thing.” She is looking forward to ParticipACTION looking at coordinating groups in town. “I think we have a very good chance with all of the things going on in our community,” said Henderson. Councillor Pulyk noted that at ICSC, he met with 11 developers many of whom were reaching a saturation point in their larger centers and were interested in Vermilion (two of which for an RCMP building). “It was Wainwright’s first time attending, as well as a number of other Alberta municipalities. We met with one international developer, and we plan on keeping in contact to keep these conversations going,” said Pulyk.

Tyler Durman Speaks In Vermilion
Angela Mouly Reporter
Hundreds of students and community members gathered at St. Jerome’s School on February 5, for encouraging presentations by speaker, Tyler Durman. “I am so excited that students chose to be here when buses weren’t running, and thank you to Principal Chase for helping to make it possible,” said teacher, Allan MacMillan. Durman is originally from California, but has spent most of his life in Hawaii. Keeping audience members engaged, Durman began with K – 5 participating in a game-show like presentation, learning about choices. “We all make choices everyday; if you make a choice you have to live with the result; just because it looks good doesn’t mean it is good; sometimes the crowd is

wrong; if you don’t know what to choose ask a teacher what to do; one bad choice doesn’t mean two,” were some of the phrases that Durman used to encourage children to think about their choices throughout each day, and to stand up for themselves. He went on to speak to higher grade levels, and parents in the evening incorporating storytelling and humour. Overall, everyone was thrilled to learn positive coping skills and tools for building and maintaining healthy relationships. “I was so excited to have Tyler here and the messages that he brought were ones that children and parents need to hear. His dynamic speaking had a room full of elementary students in the palm of his hand, and his strength increases with high school aged students and parents,” Tyler Durman encouraging elementary students at St. Jerome’s School on February 5. said MacMillan.

When God calls one of our children To dwell with him above, We mortals sometimes question The wisdom of His love. For no heartache can compare With the death of one's child, Who does so much to make our world Seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling The aged to his fold, So he picks a rosebud Before he can grow old. God knows how much we need them And so he takes but a few, To make the land of Heaven More beautiful to view.

The arctic air has really been blasting us lately, and when it’s this cold outside i t ’s a lways a g o o d time to warm up the kitchen with some home cooking. Cold winter days call for some warm comfort foods. Does anyone else crave carbs and comfort foods when it’s been super cold for a lot of days? This is a cheesy and creamy dish that fits the bill. It is very

filling and satisfying with its onion and cheese goodness. To make this recipe your own you can tr y adding different cheeses, or mixture of your favorite cheeses. You could use cheddar, Swiss, gouda mozzarella or any other cheese. You may have to add more salt and pepper depending on the saltiness of the cheese you have chosen to use. If you are cooking for people that are wheat or gluten sensitive, I have found that brown rice pasta is a wonderful substitute. It is basically a pot of macaroni, cooked with some vegetables, a sautéed onion,

COLUMNIST
February 12, 2019 | The Vermilion Voice
J.F. Wolters Columnist
When I was g r ow i n g u p t h er e were t wo original homesteads that were in sight of the yard I grew up in (the Kottmeier homestead) and were residing on the land our family either farmed or ranched. The Wolters homestead (on Aunt Rosa’s quar ter) was right across the road to the northwest and Sigurd Salverson’s homestead was directly south across the coulee. Sigurd had come over from Norway to farm there in 1914, but his little cabin was a mile away south as the crow flies. On foot up and down vertically through coulee and surrounded by solid bush, it was a bit more of a jaunt to get to except when Dad had the cows down by the creek at the corral nearby. There actually was a third homestead that had once been on our land across the coulee to the east, but that was the Krueger homestead that had the misfortune of being hit by ‘The Cyclone’ back in July 1918 which I wrote about previously. There was very little visible reminder left from the Krueger yard except the spot of their old well which Dad had covered with a small rock pile and carefully farmed
around. It only took a few minutes though to walk the quarter mile up the gravel road to the approach of ‘our’ old house however as a kid, so naturally I was over there visiting it a lot more. Each of the homesteads had a little of that mysterious quality about them because they were nearby, someone had lived in them you felt like you knew but had passed on, and there were interesting items of curiosity still in them which was the distinct why of the investigating…even if that spooky aspect had to be overcome. At the time the Wolters homestead was built there weren’t yet a lot of poplar trees of much stature around on the prairie, so a line of Caragana trees had been planted on either side of the lane coming in and around the south side of the house. To the northwest a block of hardwood trees (including some crab-apples) had been planted in long rows as a more prominent windbreak. Dad often used the area within the shelterbelt to work on or prep machinery as we had two adjacent quarters on the west side of the road to work an d ke pt t he trac tor s, c ult ivator s, and balers occasionally in or by the tin roofed shed that was nearby the middle of both quar ters. So some times while Dad was running tractor cultivating or baling hay…I would be
looking around the old house or with my brother Gordon building forts out of the prairie wool square bales. The old house o bviously wasn’t in the best condition mind you…the front door to the sun room was ajar usually, there wasn’t much left of any of the windows, and you had to be careful in a spot of not falling through the floor. Of course you made sure not to do that in case there were skunks underneath inside. Guess I was braver then than I thought. But once the coast was clear and you scared out all the pigeons… it was alright. And before someone came and took it out…there had been a great o l d or i g inal wo o d bur ning kitchen stove inside that was always neat to inspect. No idea how much it would be worth now but it would be a lot. Besides that you could check out the old concrete cistern behind the kitchen, the chicken coop just beyond the back door, or the old barn which was falling in. Dad even kept the dynamite he used to blow rocks out of the fields up high in a cupboard. He just s ai d d o n’ t ever m es s wit h it…an d clearly we never did. Last you would climb the nearly vertical stairs inside to the two upstairs bedrooms.T here was an old metal bedframe in one room, and the other the floor was covered with the remnants of papers
VES Science Fair
Angela Mouly Reporter
The Homesteads
Sixty-four students participated in this year’s Science Fair at Vermilion Elementary School on February 7. Thirty-seven projects were judged and 22 merit awards were handed out for excellent presentation and understanding of science. Mr. Haslehurst and Mrs. Tupper organized the event to promote curiosity in science and provide opportunities for students to test out experiments. “The Science Fair encourages chil-
dren to be excited about science and the world around them,” said Mr. Haslehurst. “It also encourages children to use problem solving and critical thinking skills,” added Mrs. Tupper. Organizers were impressed with the number of new experiments and the diversity of projects. Topics included electricity, air pressure, surface tension, animal research, as well as preserving and decomposing food. Grade 5 student, Miranda Douziech loved participating by making Rainbow Milk. She said, “It’s so bright and colour-

How much fat there is in the milk varies the intensity of the colour and how much it spreads out.” Fellow Grade 5 student, Jordyn Pottle said, “I wanted to see if Mentos would explode with different kinds of pop, and it was really a fun thing to see how they reacted.” Aaralyn Tupper and Cassie Cameron worked together to find out which type of soap makes the longest lasting bubbles.

Late in the 1990’s the homestead quarter was willed to the government as a wildlife sanctuary…and all the old buildings were bulldozed and covered up. I wish I had taken some pictures of them as I miss seeing them now when I go back out there. Unfortunately all these years later the Caragana trees that were planted to provide shelter from wind have taken over much of the old yard, like they have done for many other old Alberta homesteads. All that is lef t on the homestead quar ter is o ne of Dad ’s o l d roun d balers, sitting like a sentinel where it used to bale prairie wool.

Palmolive came in second, and Xtra came in last. Grade 2 students Miles Allen and Douglas Romeo experimented by growing plants with different liquids, and found water to be the most effective. “The students came up with their own topics and questions and designed experiments around them. We were happy with the turnout, and thankful to the parents for their support,” said Haslehurst.

Cattle And Cold Temperatures
The recent cold snap across the p r ov i n c e h a s b e e n a c o n c e r n fo r humans and livestock. Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Alberta Ag-Info Centre, looks at ways to lessen the stress on cattle created by cold temperatures. Yaremcio says to start by adjusting
rations to meet requirements, as there is a limit to the amount of heat cattle can produce by digesting feed. “You can’t just let them pick extra hay or pick straw off the bedding pack to make up the intake dif ferential. Straw is a low protein, high fibre, low energy feed that takes a long time for the animals to digest. If they eat extra straw, the total protein content in the
ration goes down, and bacteria can’t digest the fibre. In reality, their feed intake in reality may drop two, three or four pounds a day, and you’re just going backwards by letting them have the extra straw.” “I am referring specifically to cattle, but these principles apply to other animals staying outside right now,” he says. “Cattle can stay warm down to
-20 C without wind chill, and the heat from digestion when they consume their feed will keep them warm.” It is a natural response for animals to eat more feed when it gets cold. Provide extra hay or silage but extra grain is needed as well. Feed intake changes when the temperature drops below -20 C. Continued on page 10

Continued from page 9 “At -30 C, increase grain intake by an extra two lb. of grain per head per day over and above what was previously being fed at -20 C. If temperatures drop to -40 C, four lb. of extra grain per head per day needs to be added,” says Yaremcio. Thin animals get colder faster than those that are in good shape, as they do not have the fat layer that provides insulation. “That four lb. of additional grain during the cold weather might have to be stepped up to six or seven lb. to maintain their body

weight or hopefully get them to gain a little bit,” explains Yaremcio. “it is difficult to do in cold weather but it is a possibility. Judge accordingly, and watch the manure. If the manure looks normal, you can see that your ration is providing an adequate amount of protein.” He adds that providing shelter behind a wind fence and providing a lot of bedding helps reduce the amount of energy needed for an animal to keep warm. If possible, move the thinnest animals into a barn to protect them from the weather.
“A cow laying on snow could potentially lose 25 per cent of her body heat, especially if that snow is wet or dirty.” The implications of not lessening the stress from cold temperatures could compromise the animals, says Yaremcio. “During cold weather, cows can lose anywhere between one to three pounds a day. If the cow is losing weight in the last trimester of pregnancy, it is possible there will be more calving difficulties because the cow’s muscles are not as strong as they should be. Nutrient requirements for a lactating cow increase by 25 per cent compared to one in late pregnancy. That is when the large weight losses can occur.”

“Colostrum quantity – and possibly quality - will be compromised if the cow is losing weight prior to calving. The calf may not be as healthy, and get up rapidly after birth if the cow has lost weight in the cold weather. You could have a little more problems with disease. A cow with very little fat reserve will not be able to produce as much milk as one that is in good condition. The growth rate of the calf is probably going to be reduced as well. Long term, if that cow stays skinny all the way through lactation, it can reduce reproductive efficiency by 20 to 30 per cent.” For more information, contact the Alberta Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

The 2018 crop year featured a strong protein premium for wheat, in particular hard red spring wheat. Neil Blue, provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, looks at the situation with protein premiums on wheat in 2019. Blue says that wheat protein premiu m s t h i s c r o p ye ar h ave d r o p p e d back to below average levels due to increased supply of higher protein wheat in the world. These crops include the dryness-reduced U.S. hard red winter wheat crop as well as European and post-Soviet state crops. “ I n A l b e r t a , t h i s ye a r ’s p r o t e i n p r e m i u m i s ar o u n d t wo c e nt s p er bushel per one-tenth per cent of protein,” says Blue. “Although, the protein premium may vary from one buyer to another.” “Some buyers may quote that protein premium as 10 cents per bushel for a half percentage point of protein. Last spring, the protein premiums for wheat were historically high, averaging about five cents per bushel per one-tenth per cent protein point.” He adds that for an individual buyer, the protein premium may dif fer at different protein levels. “For example, last year for some half-point protein increments, the premium was as high
11
Protein Premiums For Wheat as eight cents per bushel per one-tenth point of protein. Over the last several years in Alberta, the average protein premium for wheat has been from 3.5 to 4 cents per bushel per one-tenth per cent protein level.” As for some marketing strategies, Blues says that taking representative samples as grain is placed into storage and using the Canadian Grain Commission’s (CGC) Harvest Sample Program are a good start. “There is no charge for the program during the har vest sample submission period, and the CGC provides for wheat the grade, protein and DON levels as well as the falling number,” he explains. “Although considered unofficial, that CGC grading information can then be used as a reference by producers in their marketing.” The next step is shopping around widely to learn how buyers are grading your wheat and also learn the grade, protein and other grade aspect price differentials that each buyer is applying. “On that note,” says Blue, “I realize that producers have encountered variations from buyer to buyer in grading, but I advise that producers should try to collect as much information about buyers’ prices as possible on which to base their sale decisions.” Blue adds that producers who
disagree with an assessed grade on delivery to a licensed primary elevator can request that a sample from that load be sent to the CGC for a grade assessment. “That grade will be the final grade for settlement. I know that producers are reluctant to challenge
a grade factor, but that is a right of producers and the method that should be acceptable to buyers to maintain good relationships with producers.” For more information about wheat protein premiums, contact Neil Blue at neil.blue@gov.ab.ca or 780-422-4053.
Why Are Barns Red? Hundreds of years ago, farmers painted their barns with Linseed oil to help seal the wood and keep it from rotting. Rust was mixed with the oil to keep fungi and moss from growing on the wood. This turned the oil red. Barns are still painted red in honour of that tradition.

Continued from page 3 “ Six t y per c ent of Fir st N ations people aged 20 - 024 have not completed high school; compared to 13 per cent of non-Indigenous. Graduation rates are increasing yearly, and the quality of First Nations education is good, but it may take students a few more years to get their diploma.

Ac cording to Kevin, those funds are now being allo c ate d s par ingly to Indig enous students who meet the requirements, and tax payers are not funding them each year. Maybyn Grinde said, “We need the community to have these conversations and hear each others’ persepectives.� She recommended reading the works of Leroy Lit tle Bear, Paulettle Regan’s ‘Unsettling The Settler Within’, and ‘Unpacking the Knap sack’. Elizabeth Metcalfe spoke on her experience with the Anglican Church,
as well having been part of an adoptive family. She challenged people to search online for 150 acts of reconciliation and said, “The institution that I have devoted my life to has also taken so much from so many people. I struggle with that. As a society can we afford to let such a huge percentage of our population not reach their full potential? A letter from Arlene Folk was read as well as personal experiences given by Deb bie Semeniuk and Hannah Semeniuk. “I believe that it helps to educate, and it helps to heal,� said Debbie.
“In sharing my story, I am beginning to reconcile,� said Hannah. In conclusion, Kirk Dion offered a healing song, and participants visited over tea and bannock. Overall, people enjoyed the opportunity to learn more, and share different perspectives on how things have come to be or should be going for ward.

St. Jerome’s students and staff were treated to an amazing speaker last week, Tyler Durham. Ty l e r s p o k e t o t h e elementary students first, followed by the High School students and then Middle Level. He had student volunteers making choices, both good and bad, throughout his presentation and then relating that to their lives. “Everyone Makes Choices Everyday”, “Just Cause Something Looks Good Doesn’t Mean It Is”, The Crowd Isn’t Always Right!”, and “Once You Make A Choice, You Have To Live In It”, were just some of the sayings he taught the students. Tyler empowered students to make powerful and positive choices. He also held a Parent Evening on Tuesday, February 5, and we thank all of those who came out on such a cold evening for the presentation. The Annual St. Jerome’s Leadership Carnival is just around the corner. This year’s Carnival will be held on Thursday, February 28 from 6 - 9 p.m. in the school

They are also accepting donations of non-perishable food items. Thank you for your generosity! The Leadership students will also be looking for Silent Auction items for the evening.

The students organized the lunch as one of their fundraiser for their Field Trip to Drumheller this spring. Thursday, February 14 will be a very busy day at St. Jerome’s. We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day throughout the school with Valentine Parties in the elementary classes. The High School students can buy a “CRUSH” pop for someone they have a “Crush” on. It is also Formal Day so all students kindergarten to Grade 12 are encouraged to dress in their very best clothes. AND is the 100th Day of School! Wow, what a day! The grade

Did you know that our mid level Spartans are offered the opportunity to learn to play the ukulele? How cool is that? Also, there are three additional instruments supporting the group - a kahon (drum), a guitar and a mandolin. A big thank you to Mr. Wheat for sharing his love of music and
introducing our students to some of his favorite tunes! Since 2011, ukulele enthusiasts around the globe have been celebrating this unique instrument at festivals, and smaller gatherings, on February 2nd.

Myrnam 4-H Beef/Multi-Club January Club Report
RaeBecca Pashulka Submitted
January was a very busy month for the Myrnam 4-H Club. The Two Hills club generously hosted the annual district curling get together. It was nice to see our fellow district members come play together. We had made up mixed teams, and everyone got a prize. Even those famous skunk trophies everyone tries to lose for! As a community service activity, our club enjoyed cooking breakfast for the curlers at the Myrnam Farmer’s Bonspiel on January 12. Thanks to Myroniuk Farms for donating the food for all of the hungry curlers. The club also held a bottle drive and we all brought them in on our meeting on Photo submitted January 13 at the Myrnam Arena. Due to everyone’s generous donations we had a trailer stuffed with bags and bags of bottles. Thank you to all of our bottle donors and 4-H families that worked so hard helping pick them up and to the Clandonald Bottle Depot for providing and picking up the trailer. Thanks go out to our past leader, Josie Pashulka, for coming to our January meeting and helping us with our diary submissions. We have some members earning awards for all of their hard work over their years of being 4-H -`PQJQ\QWV /ZW]VL[ +IUZW[M )* -`PQJQ\QWV /ZW]VL[ +IUZW[M )* -`PQJQ\QWV /ZW]VL[ +IUZW[M )* -`PQJQ\QWV /ZW]VL[ +IUZW[M )* members.
