Customers lined up as the doors opened for the first time to Pink Peony, a retail outlet at Lakeland Mall in Vermilion on October 2. Pink Peony offers bath and body products, houseware and decor, refinished furniture, baby giftware, seasonal decor, as well as live and artificial plants and decorative pots.
All of the bath bombs are made in–store at her workshop in the back. “We use biodegradable shrink wrap, the dyes don’t stain the tub, and each bath bomb or candle have a different scent. We try to keep the old favourites and to continually bring in new scents, and will be offering seasonal and specialty bath products as well,” said owner Lexi Stangeland. Stangeland was born and raised in Vermilion, and has enjoyed making these
products over the past two and a half years. She decided to expand after outgrowing her workshop at home. “It’s been very exciting; it is a lot of work but we are so glad to be finally open,” added Stangeland. Pink Peony is open Wednesday – Friday from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. and may expand their hours in the future. For more information, you can call A display at Pink Peony in Vermilion. 780-853-7559.

Both St. Jerome’s School and Vermilion Elementary School participated in Orange Shirt Day on September 30. According to http://www.orangeshirtday.org/, Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come. Staff and students gathered to commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation. Celebrating Orange Shirt Day helps to promote anti-racism and anti-bullying and creates an opportunity for all Canadians to discuss their experiences and create bridges of reconciliation with one another. In a previous School News article, Karen King said, “This day has been set aside to recognize the harm the residential school system did to children’s self-esteem and well-being. It is a day to demonstrate our commitment in ensuring that every child matters. We will be learning about the

150,000 plus indigenous children, who from 1831-1996, attended residential schools.” This year, St. Jerome’s principal Allan Chase said, “We had a great turn out of students wearing orange shirts in support of our FNMI (First Nations, Metis, and Inuit) community. We have a number of FNMI students in our school and it feels really good to see the general student body support them. There were a number of school activities within individual classrooms to better explain the day and what it stands for,” VES principal Calvin Anhorn added, “We were very pleased to have two of our elementary students perform pow wow dances for us. Many of our students and staff were dressed in orange. It is important that everyone, not only students, understand how those people who attended residential schools were treated and how wrong it was. Our hope is to instill in our students that these things were wrong and that Indigenous people should be treated fairly and respectfully, just as other people in society should be treated.”

It’s been said “A day without laughter is a day wasted”. Norma Willes never wasted a day. Even in her darkest moments, her wit always surfaced to raise our spirits. She was very clear about what things were most important in life… family, friends and community. Not necessarily in that order depending upon what antics her six kids may have been up to. She chose to live the majority of her 92 years in or near the community of Mannville. It was her home and she did her best to give back by volunteering with numerous organizations like the Royal Purple, WI, UCW and the Clovelly District. She was forever visiting those who could use a little pick me up or opening her door to those who needed a place to stay, a bite to eat or just a friend to listen. Norma was fortunate to have two great loves in her life, first George Watling for 23 years and then later after his passing in 1969, she married Jack Willes. Lucky for her children, she had great taste in men. When her partner for 48 years passed away last fall, Mom tried her best to still be sociable but it wasn’t the same without Jack. And now, nothing seems the same and certainly not as much fun without Mom. Thankfully we will always have all the Norma stories to share. Mom was right about what was important in life. Family, friends and community were all at hand to make her final days so much easier. The visits meant the world to her. Your many cards, flowers, cakes, cookies, donations and stories have meant the world to our family. We would also like to acknowledge the Vermilion Lodge and their lovely staff who were so very kind to Mom. Our gratitude goes to Reverand Andrew Kinoti Lairenge for his spiritual guidance, Organist Dixie Farash and the United Church choir for lifting our spirits with music. To her grandchildren Laurie Cooper for her gift of song, Janine Broadhead for her reading and to her handsome grandsons who walked her down the aisle - she would have been so very proud of you all. Great nephew Nathan Bugg spoke to us all with his piping tribute. We so appreciated the support and assistance from Bethany at Lakeland Funeral Home. Thank you to the Red Feather Ridge and Livingstone family for providing a lovely luncheon and to Doug Livingstone for his eloquent and heartfelt eulogy. It was all just as Mom would have wanted, especially the laughter and stories that were shared with everyone on her special day.

Upcoming Folk Club

The Vermilion Folk Club will be hosting Gurf Morlix at the Vermilion Legion on October 20, at 3 p.m. From Texas, Morlix will perform heavy blues music, and along with his guitar playing, he has done producing and song writing. His biography shares that he used to fear talking to much but that has all changed and now he says, “I do a lot of storytelling. People started responding really positively to the stories - just like with the songs – and I realized it’s all about communication, and how important that is. Because we need people to be talking to each other, we need community, and we’ve never needed that more.” Performing for over 40 years, Morlix is sure to impress listeners. His most recent album is ‘Impossible Blue,’ and he often does his own cover art. The show will also include Mark Davis. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Vermilion Credit Union.

characters and the actors who portray them do not actually put their lives in danger each time they fly off to save a fictional character in a show or movie. Firefighters don’t wear capes but they are absolutely our community heroes. Firefighters put their lives on the line each time they are called out to a fire, accident or natural disaster. We need to appreciate and thank our local heroes every day not just during Fire Prevention Week. The second part of this year’s theme emphasizes the importance of preparedness in case a fire happens in your life. As in previous years the Look, Learn, LIsten is always an i m p or t a nt p ar t of fire prevention, so remember:
Look for places fire could start. Identify potential fire hazards and take care of them. Learn two ways out of every room. Make sure exits are free of clutter and everyone knows how to use the doors and windows. Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. If you hear it, then head outside right away and call 911 once you are a safe distance away from the fire. According to www.edmonton.ca fire prevention page seconds are critical during a fire! There is no time to stop and think about an escape route, so knowing what to do before a fire occurs can save your life. Making an escape plan and practicing it with your family is an essential part of fire safety. This coming weekend is Thanksgiving and I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone in my life who have been supportive of me throughout the last year. While there has been some
really great and special moments there has been some really bad moments I wish I never had to deal with, but without the support of my friends and family I have made it through and would like them to know how much I appreciate having you in my life. You know who you are. I also think it is important especially during harvest time to thank our agricultural community for all the hard work they do to put food in our bellies. A good har vest is dependent on perfect weather conditions and let’s face it they very seldom ever get the perfect weather. Farming is a labout of love, it has to be and it certainly isn’t a lifestyle for everyone. The Vermilion Voice would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our firefighters and agricultural community for your hard work and dedication. We hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving Day.

While in Vermilion last week I locked my keys, purse and cell phone in my SUV by accident in front of Sammy’s. I was meeting a truck from a BC greenhouse for my shipment of live plants, and instead of pressing unlock, I must have pressed the lock direction. I left all the boxes by the side of the road and ran into Sammy’s to try find a phone book for a locksmith, but unfortunately the girl at the counter did not know what a lock smith was or have a phone book. I then approached two farmer looking gentlemen having coffee, and to my great luck, both of them tried to help me, with one of them calling his brother. While the brother was trying

to unlock the door, another Vermilion man came in to help, and between the two of them, the door was successfully unlocked. Together they all saved the day, and I was so thankful. Proof that a great town like Vermilion is made op of so many amazing people. So here is a big Thanksgiving thank you to these four Vermilion men. I am also thankful for pumpkin. Thanksgiving, the month of October and the fall season are synonymous with pumpkin. Here is a new recipe. Like carrots, the orange pigment in pumpkin is high in both the alpha and beta form of vitamin A, which is known for its benefits for the eyes. Studies have shown these forms of vitamin A have anti-aging properties and may reduce 3” wide version the risk of certain cancers. Only 1/2 cup of pumpkin supplies 100% of your daily vitamin A requirement. Pumpkin is a good source of
fiber, iron, vitamin C, vitamin E & potassium. Pumpkin is low in calories. Oats contain a special fiber called beta-glucan, which has been proven to have the beneficial effect of removing cholesterol from the digestive track, before it can enter the blood stream. Researchers have found a compound in the oats called avenanthramide which helps to protect the good LDL cholesterol from oxidation. This protective effect lasts longer if you have a food that contains vitamin C along with your oat containing cake. The oats and cinnamon help to stabilize blood sugar, which may be beneficial for people with diabetes, insulin resistant metabolic syndrome and obesity. The pumpkin and oat bran are all excellent fiber sources. You can enjoy the fall season, thanksgiving weekend and these pancakes guilt free and reap all the benefits from their nutritious ingredients.

From Rising Sun To Sunnydale
Craig Baird Columnist
On May 1, 1907, the post office with the name Rising Sun was established, ser ving as a vital focal point of communication for residents of the area. Later that month, John Barclays moved the post office to his property from that of William Ormstrom. The post office would operate for 20 years until Dec. 31, 1926. The name Rising Sun would become the name of the large community that operated in a connected manner through the area. Rays from the Rising Sun gave the news of the area from 1908 to 1911 in the Lloydminster Times. At the same time, Sunnydale School
would be established and serve as a meeting place for the area, along with that of Golden Valley, which was often used with the name Sunnydale. In fact, there was an annual Golden ValleySunnydale picnic that began in 1905. For a time, the Rising Sun-SunnydaleGolden Valley was a thriving community with several residents. In April of 1908, with the formation of the Local Improvement District, several councillors were chosen to represent residents including Richard Wallace for Township 48, Gorden Brew for Township 48-2 and John Ambler for Township 47-1. In May of 1908, a rifle club was organized in the area. That same year, John Barclays took on the role of not only being postmaster but the secretary for the improvement district. Council would meet at the home
of Miss Warburton, which was very near the centre of the four townships that made up the area. In September of 1908, an inspector from public works came out and suggested the building of a bridge over Blackfoot Coulee. In January of 1909, a brass band was organized and a dozen instruments were ordered from Lloydminster. Joseph Fairbrother would serve as the bandmaster, and John Barclay as the secretary-treasurer. A concert was soon held at Sunnydale School. One month later, a telephone line route was planned from Lloydminster to Battle River. In 1911, the Golden Valley School District was formed and tenders were put out for the construction of the school. By November of that year, the school was
built and a concert was held in December at the school. In September 1912, a new Heintzman organ was ordered for the Holy Trinity Golden Valley Church, and a Harvest Thanksgiving service was held. In 1912, plans were made for the four townships to wind up their affairs as a Local Improvement District as they prepared to join a new nine-township municipality called Wellington and Merton.

Planned Propane Delivery Reduces Delays In Grain Drying Federated Co-operatives Limited Submitted
SASKATOON (Oct. 1, 2019) — Rain, snow and generally cool weather has hampered harvest across the Prairies for another year, prompting Co-op to advise growers to begin considering their propane needs. “As the harvest season progresses, we’re expecting demand for propane to increase, particularly if these low temperatures and precipitation persist,” said Keith
Morin, Director of Propane at Federated Co-operatives Limited. “To prevent delays in propane delivery, we’re recommending that our growercustomers consider ordering in advance so it will be on-site when they most need it.” The harvest this fall has been a challenge for growers, with the weather causing delays in many parts of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “Right across Western Canada, our grower-customers are reporting harvest

PET OF THE WEEK
ATCO is proposing a new 144 kV Transmission Line from the existing 7L65 Transmission Line near the Village of Mannville into a new substation, to be known as Drury. A new single circuit 240 kV Transmission Line will be constructed from the Drury Substation to the service territory boundary. AltaLink will complete the Transmission Line Project to Nilrem substation near Hardisty. The Project is to reinforce and upgrade the transmission system capability of the central east sub-region and to ultimately improve capacity in the Lloydminster Area. Your feedback on the project is important to us. We encourage you to learn more or provide your input by attending our open house, visiting our website or by contacting us.

Rowena is such a sweet cat that we have no idea why she hasn’t been adopted yet. Rowena is currently our longest resident having been at the shelter for over 100 days. Granted, some of that was because she came in with young kittens and had to be in Foster until they were old enough to go up for Adoption. But, now that they’re ready, so is she. Rowena would love to go to a loving home that gives her unconditional love and attention, and she will do the same in return. If you think Rowena is the one for you, then come on down to the SPCA today.

progress at nearly 20 per cent below the five-year average,” said Errin Willenborg, FCL’s Knowledge and Innovation Manager. “With significant precipitation over the weekend and in the forecast, we expect much of the 2019 crop to be taken off tough or damp, requiring drying or conditioning.” The unseasonably wet harvest in 2018 prompted record-high demands for propane to use in grain drying, leading to delays in service from all propane suppliers, including Co-op. Propane sales are steadily increasing, particularly in northeastern Saskatchewan, but has not yet matched the demand seen last year. “Propane sales are difficult to predict as demand can change suddenly, but we’ve added drivers and strategic storage facilities to be able to better serve our customers,” Morin said.

153 VOLUNTEERS in 8
within the County. This included 106 Fire calls, 94 Medical, 44 Alarms and 21 Other.
Departments serving CVR plus 22 volunteers with Lloyd Rescue
3,169 hours were spent responding to 339 calls
Not all fire calls are equal, they can range from vehicles, bales, structure (house), wildland (bush), campfires, industrial shops, oilfield tank farms to false alarms. After every fire that has a dollar loss an investigation must be completed to determine the cause and origin of the fire. If deemed suspicious, a full team of investigators need to be brought in to assist the local department. Investigations can take days and during this time someone has to remain on-site for scene security. Along with our partners - the RCMP, EMS, and 911, we respond to medical first responses which can be: * falls * heart attacks * attempted suicides * motor vehicle and off road accidents * search and rescue * farm accidents * livestock (bucked off,pinned) * body recovery * assisting medical examiners with fatalities * setting up a landing zone for STARS. On behalf of Council, staff and myself, THANK YOU to all of our VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS from across the County. Your commitment to the safety and protection of our community is second-tonone! It is truly a humbling experience to work alongside of you. Second, a huge thank you to the FAMILIES of our firefighters - your sacrifice for the greater good is amazing and we thank you so much for supporting the firefighters so they can serve and protect!

HOW AND WHY YOU SHOULD REGULARLY CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS Each floor of your home, including the basement, should be equipped with a smoke detector. It’s also a good idea to put a smoke detector in every room. However, the most important thing of all is regularly checking that they work properly. HOW TO INSPECT SMOKE DETECTORS Once a month, press the “test” button on each of your smoke detectors. If you don’t hear anything, replace the battery immediately. In addition, you should confirm whether your detectors can actually detect the presence of smoke. Once a year, blow out a candle under them. If they don’t go off, then they need to be replaced as soon as possible.
SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES The best way to prevent casualties in the case of a fire is to have functioning smoke detectors. Here’s why. • Most fire-related casualties occur overnight. A smoke detector’s alarm allows occupants to wake up and evacuate in time. • Smoke inhalation is the leading cause of fire-related death. Smoke spreads quickly, and occupants have on average two minutes to evacuate before smoke inhalation becomes life threatening. Smoke detectors allow you to react before it’s too late. The bottom line is that well-functioning smoke detectors are the best way to keep you and your family safe.
Did you know?
Fire Prevention Week October 6 -12 In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out.
Plan ahead for your escape. Make your home escape plan and practice today.

Fire Prevention Week AHS Submitted
Fire Prevention Week will take place October 6 to 12, 2019. It’s a good time of year to check your smoke alarms to ensure they’re working. Install at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home, including the basement (but not in unfinished attics). • Put smoke alarms in the hallways that lead to each bedroom. • On floors without bedrooms, install the smoke alarm in or near each living area such as dens, living and family rooms. • Put a smoke alarm on the ceiling at the bottom of any staircase leading to upper floors. • Mount the smoke alarm high on walls or ceilings (remember—smoke and hot gases rise). Wallmounted alarms work best when placed at least 10 to 30 cm down from the ceiling. Ceiling-mounted alarms are ideally placed at least 10 cm away from the nearest wall. If ceilings are pitched, install the alarm near the ceiling’s highest point. How do I care for a smoke alarm? • Smoke alarms must be kept clean, as dust and grime may affect how they work. • Replace the batteries at least once a year • Replace a smoke alarm every 10 years, sooner if it
isn’t working. • Regularly dust or vacuum the unit. • Keep each smoke alarm free of paint, stickers, or other decorations that may prevent it from working properly. Plan an escape route • It is important for families and people living alone to practice a fire escape route out of the home. Make two exit plans for each room of the house. • To reduce the risk of a fall, keep fire escape routes clear of household items and clutter. That will help ensure you have safe and accessible exits.

Lorna Hamilton Editor
October 6 - 12 is National Newspaper Week and this year’s theme is “Now More Than Ever.’ You may be asking yourself why do newspapers matter “Now More Than Ever’ well the first thing that comes to mind is the horrendous increase in fake news. Fake news is plaguing the internet, and there is nothing that bugs me more than reading a headline only to discover it is a load of hogwash. I don’t quite understand why anyone who considers themselves a journalist would ever partake in producing an article that is full of false and misleading information. I for one take more pride in my work and myself to ever stoop low enough to write FAKE NEWS. A real journalist who works for a local newspaper is going to confirm facts and make

sure it correct. It is amazing how many people can’t tell FAKE news from REAL news; I see it every day when someone shares a post that is obviously fake news. Second, most people feel as though newspapers are becoming a thing of the past, well that is certainly far from the truth. Nine out of ten Canadians read some form of news that was originally generated in a newspaper! Third, newspapers in small town living will always be one of the most important resources you can put your hands on to discover information concerning the town you live in. How often have you ever seen a social media giant such as Facebook come to cover your town council meeting? How many times have someone from Google come to cover your child’s dance recital or soccer game? And if they did, do

you think they care about what happens in your community? Never and I think not! Running a newspaper is not a cheap business to be in, the cost of producing a newspaper is expensive; news gatherers, graphic designers, and other necessary staff do enjoy receiving a paycheque and all the other expenses incurred have to be looked after. When a newspaper publishes a FREE paper, the revenue has to come from somewhere, and that is in the form of advertising. Many advertisers nowadays think they can toss all their eggs in one basket to spread the word of their events, sales, services, and products and while I do agree that social media can be a somewhat effective means of informing the public it is however not the most trusted. Most consumers are wary of online advertising. Why may you ask? The answer is simple and consists of one word ‘Scammers.” Everywhere you turn on the internet, or social media someone is trying to scam you out of your hard earned dollars. Another reason why it isn’t a fabulous idea to rely completely on social media advertising is that not everyone has the internet and utilizes Social Media!” Another thing to remember when it comes to advertising your business on social media is that it will only reach the audience who knows how to find you. If they

are someone like me, who is not a technical genius they will never know you exist unless someone tells them exactly how to find you. Not that long ago I did a poll to find out how our readers would prefer to receive our paper whether it be print only, print and online or just online. I had a mix of responses from the elderly, middle-aged and the younger generations responding and surprising to me the majority wanted their paper to be either print only or the combination of print and online. I had quite a few who personally came into the office and said that if we were to go to online only, we would lose them as readers as they had no intention of ever becoming an internet user, especially in the social media world. Advertising on social media at the moment can be either free or paid, but I can pretty much guarantee that once everyone starts putting their eggs in the social media frenzy it won’t be free forever, business people in the social media world isn’t stupid, and those free services will soon become a fee-paying service. News and newspapers are important in everyone lives, it’s how we learn about what is going on around us and in other parts of the world. With all the political hoopla that is happening between the Canadian government and the U.S. government ‘Now More Than Ever’ no one wants to read the FAKE news and be misinformed, they want to read real news written by a credible journalist. Besides all the political stuff everyone enjoys seeing their events covered by the newspaper and no matter who you are you like to see your picture or your childs pictured in a printed newspaper. In a nutshell, your community newspaper is the one that cares about your business, it is the one who cares about your events, it is the one who will take the time to go out in the bitter Canadian winter just take your picture and it’s the one that will always be around through thick and thin. You can’t say that about the social media world. Newspapers Matter: Now More Than Ever. This National Newspaper Week, we hope Canadians will support and encourage journalists because newspapers matter—now more than ever. Pledge your support for newspapers at www.newspapersmatter.ca.
“I’d rather have newspapers without a government than a government without newspapers” --Thomas Jefferson While not actively seeking a pink slip, I agree with Jefferson’s aphorism.

This week Spartans and many community members gathered on multiple occasions to reflect and connect. On September 30 our school honored the legacy of residential school survivors by wearing orange shirts. At the elementary Happigrams presentation, Mrs. Despins’ Grade Four class recited a powerful poem called “My Moccasins Have Not Walked” by Duke Redbird. This poem speaks to how the experience of residential schools caused First Nations children to feel disconnected from their culture and traditions. This class followed the poem with an acapella song, sung beautifully in a round, called “The Canoe Song.” They read many stories about residential school survivors, passed the talking stick and reflected on the meaning of orange shirt day and how these children must have felt, and finally took the time to write letters to Phyllis Webstad. Phyllis is the author of “The Orange Shirt Story” which tells her story of having her brand-new orange shirt taken away on her first day of residential school. What a tremendous learning opportunity for our young Spartans. September 30 also marked our first school Mass of the year. It was wonderful to join together as a school to pray, sing, and celebrate the Lord. Father Joy taught us all an important lesson about our patron saint. When he asked our

St. Jerome’s School News
students and faculty members what St. Jerome’s most famous quote was, as a whole we were stumped! One young boy ventured a guess that the phrase he said the most was “Amen”. Father Joy smiled and said that although he said “Amen” a lot, St. Jerome’s was best known for highlighting the importance of studying the Scripture when he said “To be ignorant of the scripture is not to know Christ.” We all learned something new at Mass! On the morning of October 1, students at St. Jerome’s par ticipated in our school’s annual Terry Fox Run. Even though it was chilly, students did not complain and put forth their best efforts to commemorate Terry’s legacy as a Canadian hero and fundraise for cancer research. That afternoon, we celebrated St. Jerome’s Day with a wonder ful assembly and welcoming put together by Student Council. All the Grade 4 students were welcomed into their houses as they participated in an obstacle course relay race. Competitive as always, Cartier took the win with the youngest rookie Spartans. The remainder of new students in older grades were welcomed in various ways, such as racing to eat Oreos off their faces (without using their hands) and bobbing for apples. New staff members had to answer trivia questions about our school history and then compete to find smarties in a pie plate full of whip cream, with their faces! Mrs. Irene Rochford was crowned the winner, with wisdom and an impressive knowledge of our school giving her the edge against her peers!
As much as we enjoyed welcoming the new faces, we also made time to honour an incredible staff member that retired at the end of last year. Mr. Allan MacMillan has made a tremendous impact on our school, and he was recognized with a heart-warming speech given by Matthew Beaudette and a standing ovation. We made sure to emphasize to Mr. MacMillan “Once a Spartan, Always a Spartan” as we wished him all the best in his future endeavors. The assembly closed with a loud and enthusiastic rendition of our school song; St. Jerome’s has such

The Vermilion Voice | October 8, 2019
SCHOOL NEWS Karen King Submitted
The Grade 1 students took their learning outdoors and visited the Vermilion Provincial Park. They enjoyed a nature walk where they saw many animal trails, beaver gnawed trees, a burrow, the bird sanctuary, and a woodpecker busily eating bugs. While there, they enjoyed a scavenger hunt, made leaf rubbings, and had fun raking and jumping in leaf piles. It was a fun way for them to learn about their science curriculum. Our Terry Fox Run with J.R. Robson students turned out differently than we had planned. The first day we were to have it, the weather did not cooperate. The second day we planned to meet, J.R. Robson had a fire alarm that prevented us from going into their school. We simply walked back to VES and had our own Terry Fox Run on our playground. Hopefully it will work for us to get together with J.R. next fall for the same purpose. Orange Shir t Day took place on September 30. We were so fortunate to have Lebrae Harris, Nathan Moosomin, and Terron Okanee join us. Lebrae talked about her knowledge of the round dance and what the four circles mean. Nathan discussed how his ancestors helped to bring back the traditional dancing. Kona and Theron (students from our school) danced, drummed and sang. Several Grade 6 students shared some information about orange shirt day and residential schools. Canada’s former Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, issued a statement of apology to former students of residential
Vermilion Elementary School News
schools in 2008 and we received a framed document to hang in VES as a reminder to continue the work in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. All individuals present in our gym got to end the assembly with a round dance, led by the above mentioned individuals. It was a heart warming event. Our BTPS Board supports the learning of school bus safety for students across the division. This year the Safely on Board School Bus Safety presentation, done by Melissa Glasel, was provided to the students of VES on September 30 (K-3) and October 1 (4-6). Students learned about the danger zones around the school bus, how to safely ride and cross in front of the school bus, as well as the rules when riding the school bus. Games Zone kicked off on October 1 with 30 students joining in. This is a “recess option” for kids who would like to do something structured at recess. Miss Alana and the Grade 6 VIBE Advisory lead this awesome option with games like freeze tag, octopus, toilet tag, copy tag, what time is it Mr. Wolf, and red light green light. CIBC did another popcorn sale similar to the one held last year. VES distributed an order form, collected the money and then the popcorn was delivered to the school around lunch time on October 2. Money collected goes towards the CIBC Run for the Cure (cancer). We would like to thank CIBC for including us in their fundraiser. We had our monthly assembly on October 2. Mrs. Baldwin informed us that through the Alberta School Recycling Program, VES received the Alberta Depot Recycling Award for last year, as we recy-

Rookie QB Vold Scores Four Majors In 45 - 13 Marauder Win Cathy Wolters Submitted
Seven trips to the endzone earned Marauders football their second win of the season, a 45-13 victory over the visiting Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Royals. For returning players the win wiped away the bitter taste of their experience in Camrose last year. Playing with a shortened bench and facing three times as many opponents, the Marauders withdrew from the game at half time. Following injuries, the inexperienced team with five grade nines had run out of players with any offensive experience. On Thursday those sophomore veterans played leading roles in the Marauder win. The Royals choose to retire from the game with over three minutes left in the game after a touchdown drive was stopped by a Marauder interception. Zac Bodie’s interception was the final
straw for the Royals. After a couple of knock downs last week versus Vegreville, Bodie met his goal of catching an opposition pass. The vertically challenged Bodie, intercepted a jump ball on his own 2. Four plays earlier Landyn Herzog tracked down the Royal’s Kammerzell on the five-yard line, denying the Royals their third touchdown. Kammerzell had proved the toughest Royal to bring down due to his agility, speed and size. It was the final series for Camrose. They started first and goal from the five, then lost eight yards on a high snap that quarterback Andrews had to fall on. The first pass attempt was incomplete, and the second was intercepted by Bodie. The game started on a much better note for the winless Royals. They scored first and had the only points the opening quarter. They held on to their lead until

there was just over a minute left in the half. Down 7-0 after the Royals scored a single on a long Kammerzell punt that rolled through the endzone, the Marauders first TD drive started on their own 35. They drove downfield mostly on the strength of quarterback Tylin Vold’s rushing game. A roughing the passer penalty that brought them to a first and goal from the 5. At 4:57 Vold scored the first of his four touchdowns. The Marauders took a 14-7 lead into the half. After starting deep in their own end, Ryland Fougere took a Vold pass and dodged and wove 84-yards for the touchdown with 1:03 left on the clock. Riley Cronin provided the kicked convert. Fougere also scored the first touchdown of the second half, one of three third quarter Marauder majors. Herzog
returned the kickoff to the Camrose 39. Then, Fougere evaded two early tackles and sped into the endzone just 35 seconds into the quarter. Marauders bumped their total up to 20. Their next touchdown came after Skylar Dary recovered a fumble. He was about the sixth player to have his hands on the ball after a high snap to the Royal’s Andrews bounced in and out of hands along the ground. Spencer Carlson had the longest gain of the march, a 15-yard run to the Camrose 16. Vold scampered from the 16 to the two, then scored on the next play for a 19-point 26-7 Marauder lead. Camrose was briefly back in the game as they returned the ensuring kickoff for a major making the score 26-13. But the Marauders responded with another TD drive. Continued on page 23

October 8, 2019 | The Vermilion Voice Continued from page 22 They started almost at midfield when Herzog found a seam on the kickoff but couldn’t escape Kammerzell and was brought down on the Marauder 51. Vold continued to look to pass and often had to rush himself. One pass, a successful one to Herzog, was flagged when Vold was
over the line of scrimmage when he threw. Two plays later he hooked up with Herzog again for a 34-yard touchdown reception with 3:34 left in the quarter. The Marauders scored two more times in the final quarter. They took over on downs on their own 10 as the quarter started. Fougere caught another pass for
13 yards, and then Vold kept the ball and went 87 yards for the touchdown. He was almost stopped near the line of scrimmage but ducked the tackle and dodged his way downfield picking up speed as he went. Cronin finally scored another convert, but not from kicking. It was third time lucky taking an unsuccessful placement for the single point convert. The Marauders went up 39-13. The persistent blitz of Herzog and Bodie led to the Royals being 3rd and 20 on their own 25. The Marauders took over on downs. Fougere found daylight on the far sidelines but was clotheslined at the one. Vold scored his fourth major on the next play making the score 45-13 with 8:23 on the clock. Camrose managed to bring the ball up to the Marauder five but was eventually denied the endzone on Bodie’s interception. As the Marauders celebrated Bodie’s catch, the Royals coach indicated his team was done. Points after: With holder Jayben
23
Gamracy injured on the sidelines, the Marauders first convert attempt was via the ground. Then Vold took on the role of holder for Cronin. First-time lucky, they combined for a successful kicked convert. Cronin tried to turn a bad hold into a single point three times before finally reaching the endzone on the last attempt…The Royals offence and kick return were based on the considerable skills of Andrews, Kammerzell and Mitchell. All three were tough to tackle, strong and fast. But each of them also had to be helped off the field at least once after getting banged up…The cousin-collision team of Herzog and Dary combined a couple of times to bring down Royals. More often it was Herzog and Bodie in early on the Camrose offence. Several times one or both blitzed…Vold rushed for nearly 220 yards…The Marauders still need work in the backfield as plays took too long to develop and some handoffs were awkward...Next up is an Oct 10 game in Spruce Grover versus Hinton. Final regular season game is in Edson on Oct 17.
GIS TECHNICIAN KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Big, agile and fast made Camrose Royal’s #43 a tough guy to bring down. Above four Marauders converge to make the tackle. First contact was made by Ryland Fougere who still hangs on to a leg, #44 Landyn Herzog and #2 Zac Bodie come in from either side, while Austin Bodurka into the crowd. Michael Arcand also joined the team tackle. Photo submitted
