Lorna Hamilton Reporter
The Vermilion Public Library held a ‘Fur, Feathers, and Fun’ program in front of the Vermilion Heritage Museum on August 18, for children ages 5 to 12. Under sunny skies, the children and adults had the opportunity to handle
bones and furs, participate in animalthemed crafts such as painting rocks with a bird theme, visit inside the museum, observe traps that were used in the trapping industry for beavers, minks, and otters etc. They were also able to look at traps used by Alberta Fish and Wildlife Service to capture nuisance animals
such as bears (some children even had the opportunity to go inside a bear trap). A story by Nicholas Oldland titled ‘A Walk on the Wild’ was read by Program Coordinator Shelia Heit, while her volunteers Gar y Walsh (Vermilion River Watershed Alliance Alumni), Mitchell Visser (District Fish and Wildlife Officer),

Death Is Nothing At All By Henry Scott-Holland More Henry Scott-Holland
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. We miss you Cowboy!

With Fall On The Way, So Is Harvest
Lorna Hamilton Editor
Wow, August is almost done! S e pte m b er i s j u s t around the c orner and that means harvest is almost here, though I have noticed that some farmers have started taking down crops already. I am not a farm girl, but, I don’t think I have ever seen any crops down on the ground this early, and I am assuming it is because of the drought conditions we have had this growing season. From what I have heard, many farmers’ yields this season will not be profitable or in some cases sellable because of the weather. My heart goes out to them as I know I could never take
the gambles they do each year. Whether it be too much rain, not enough rain, hail, prices etc. Besides Mother Nature always giving them the rotten end of the stick, farming is ranked as the third most hazardous industry in Canada! The stories we hear of ranchers and helpers getting ran over or kicked by members of the herd or how they have lost body parts due to accidents and even death on the farm. It is a profession and lifestyle I could never do so my hat goes off to all. With harvest going on we have to remember that farmers will be moving huge pieces of machinery on our roads, so, I would like to take this time to remind everyone that even though it slows us down a bit, be patient and respectful,
they will let you go as soon as they possibly can. So many times, I have seen drivers getting impatient; nothing is ever so important that you take risks trying to pass where you shouldn’t. According to https://www1.agric.gov. ab.ca/ the most frequent types of accidents involving farm equipment are single-vehicle collision, multiple-vehicle collision, and rear-end collisions. The single-vehicle collision is a farm tractor being driven too close to the shoulder of the road and rolling into the ditch. A multiple-vehicle collision is a farm machine being hit as it is turning onto a public road from a farm road or another public road. Rear-end collisions account for a high number of accidents with farm equipment as drivers misjudge the speed at
Apple Season
Dawn Hames Columnist
It is an early harvest t h i s ye a r. We a r e done combining our peas and barley, and are waiting for the swathed canola t be ready. Right now, the apples are ready on the trees. I picked a shopping bag full and took them to Calgary with me, to make an apple cobbler, to welcome a new baby into our family. I am a new grandmother to a little boy. What I love about farm apple is that they have never been sprayed with any chemicals. Soon it will be back to school, and harvest time all at once. Whipping up a snacking cake is much easier than making an elaborate layer cake, and it is so practical this busy time of the year. Both of these recopies use simple ingredients that are commonly
found in most households. They both travel well out to the field, and the snacking cake cuts up nicely for school lunches. You can bake one up for casual entertaining or last minute when you have guests coming over. It goes great with a good cup of coffee or tea and some friends. Apple Spice Snacking Cake 3/4 cup quick cooking oatmeal 1 1/4 cup hot water 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cloves or allspice 1 cup grated apple 1 cup flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup raisins (optional) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add
the hot water to the oatmeal and stir, and then set aside to cool. Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs, spices and vanilla. Beat in the oatmeal water mixture. Beat in the flour and baking powder. Stir in the raisins. Turn into a buttered 8”x8” metal baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Served cooled, with or without icing, or warm with ice cream.

Vermilion Gets Gas

The Vermilion Voice | August 24, 2021
On Aug. 4, 1941, i t wa s a b i g d ay for the community of Vermilion when hundreds of people came out, even from Saskatchewan, to celebrate the community getting gas. J.W.G. Morrison, the mayor of Vermilion at the time, kicked things off by saying, quote: “Let there be gas and there was gas.” As he turned a valve, millions of cubic feet of gas from the Franco Public Service, connected to a gas well 20 kilometres outside town, flowed into town. The well had been brought online only a year earlier and was already one of the biggest producers of gas for the province. The ceremony took place in a park in
the community and 500 people gathered for the event from places as distant as Saskatoon and Moose Jaw. Standards were erected in the park and these were lighted by the gas that burned through the night as the crowd mingled about on the momentous day. J.K. Swanson, president of the Franco Company, told spectators that he had faith in the community and the district and he wanted his company to serve the best interests of the town. Also on hand for the event was W.A. Fallow, the local MLA and the minister of public works for the Government of Alberta. He predicted that within 25 years, Vermilion would be a thriving and prosperous metropolis. Other dignitaries on hand included Mayor S.N. McEarchern of Saskatoon, J.B. Millar from the Saskatoon Board of Trade, Mr. Card and Mr. Smith from

Cardston, and the editor of the Saskatoon Star. Phoenix. Walter Thorne was also praised at the gathering for his work in development of the natural resource in the area, and the many labourers who worked to bring it into the community. A banquet for 150 guests was also held at the Elks Hall, with dinner served by the Vermilion Red Cross. I would like to say that I had the chance to visit Vermilion, briefly, during my province-wide tour visiting rural historical sites. I unfortunately couldn’t stay long due to time constraints, and had to continue on but I was overjoyed to see a department store that I share a name with. I will be returning to the community soon, and in the near future, I will be looking at the history of this store with a great name. I put out a history magazine that highlights many aspects of Canadian history.
which the machinery is travelling. Also, a large number of collisions occur while the farm equipment is making a left-hand turn where operators fail to signal or the signal is not visible. Remember there is more than just you on the road (both farm operators and motor vehicle operators), accidents can happen and do causing severe injuries or death. There is an amazing brochure atht tps:// w w w1.agric.g ov. ab.ca/$Department/deptdocs.nsf/all/ agdex4702/$FILE/088-1.pdf that provide both farmers and motorist a wealth of information on how to stay safe while operators move farm equipment and for motorist who meet farm equipment. Stay safe, harvest isn’t forever.
1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the apples into a 8”x8” pan. Combine the cornstarch, cinnamon and the sugar in a small bowl and then gently stir this mixture into the apples. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix well. Combine the melted butter, vanilla and milk and then stir into the flour mixture. Do not over mix or the topping will be tough and hard. Lightly grease the bottom of an 8”x8” pan. Pat the batter into an 8”x8” pan and smooth out to the edges, leaving a space in the middle for steam to escape. Sprinkle the batter with the 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes, depending on your oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out.

Relativity Space is a new company with a vision to create the first rocket made on M a r s . T h ey p l a n to achieve this by using their unique expertise in 3D-printed rocketry. Rockets are incredibly expensive to produce, costing about 2 billion dollars per spacecraft. Not only that but they also take around 5 years from start to finish to build. So, if humanity ever plans to become a multi-planetary species this will greatly impair our ability to expand our reach. This is why Relativity Space has put all its focus on 3D-printed rockets. Unlike with vehicles, there is no large demand for space fairing machinery. Wherewith car manufacturing it makes sense to create an automated assembly line since thousands of cars are produced daily, it doesn’t make sense to treat rockets the same way. Consider creating an assembly line for

3D Printed Rockets
the production of only a few rockets like creating an overly complex contraption in your kitchen just to have your eggs automatically cracked in the morning; sure it’s possible but it isn’t reasonable to go through all that set up when you only need a few eggs. So why would anyone want to automate the production process? Well, by automating it they are able to utilize the rapid prototyping abilities 3D printers offer and can create a rocket that meets their competitors in quality without spending the decades it would have taken to reach that point if they had to build each part by hand. Considering rockets have millions of individual par ts that all need to work together, 3D printing offers many improvements to the production model. All Relativity Space has to do in order to create a new part is build the 3D schematics and send them to the printers. Parts can be redesigned and tested in just 3 months with this method, cutting years off production time. Not only is it quicker at creating parts, but it also allows some structures with many moving parts to be printed as one single
unit. Relativity Space’s first flight-ready rocket called Terran 1 went from prototype to reality in only 60 days. This is an incredible showcase for their superior technology as even the next fastest company, Space X still takes 18 months to build their rockets. They are able to be this competitive considering their rockets consist of about a hundred times fewer parts than a regular non-printed rocket. This first-of-itskind piece of machinery is finished and ready to launch later this year, from the Cape Canaveral launch station. How it performs will either make a name for this new company or potentially damage its reputation before it even has the chance to really get going. Either way, they have cemented themselves as the industry leader for all 3D printed things related to spacecraft and that will surely help with the companies future. Even if they don’t produce rockets for themselves, they may offer their production model as a manufacturer for other companies looking to accelerate Diagram of the Terran 1 launch vehicle.

Alberta Utilities Commission And Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Power Project
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
reduction of turbine numbers to up to 36 it will reduce the length of access roads and the electrical collection system. On July 19 Enel Alberta Wind Inc. applied to amend the Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Power Plant and its associated Grizzly Bear Creek 708S Substation (collectively, the Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Power Project or the project) under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act, Proceeding 2667, Applications 26677-A001 and 26677-A002 through the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). According to the application notice the power plant would consist of no more than 36 wind turbines (based on 41 candidate locations) with a total generating capability of 154 MW. It also states that while Enel has not selected a turbine model, the final turbine will be rated at no more than 5.5MW, and that the applicant anticipates the turbine will have a hub height between 110 and 120 meters and a rotor diameter
The Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Power Project which has been in development for several years is slated to begin construction in late 2021 and be operational by the end of 2022. The current locations for the project are in the Counties of Vermilion River and Minburn. The Project, as it is referred to, was originally owned and developed by E.ON Climate and Renewables Canada until it was acquired by Enel Green Power (EGP) in 2019. In May 2016, The Project was fully permitted by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) while under the ownership of E. ON Climate and Renewables Canada. At that time the specifications were for 50 - 2.4 MW wind turbines with a total capacity of 120 MW, but under the current development of EGP, amendments to the project layout proposes to increase the overall project capacity. “The project received a permit from the Alberta Utilities Commission after an extensive public consultation process. An amendment is required to update the permit for new technology, and we are pursuing county permits as well,” stated Ryan O’Connor, senior business development manager at Enel Green Power. According to a January 2021 newsletter released by EGP the increase in capacity can be achieved with a reduction in the number of wind turbines. In 2016 the turbine listed to be used by E.ON was the Nordex N117/2400 with 50 turbines to be used with a total project maximum output to the Alberta Grid of 120 MW. Under the EGP proposed 2021 layout the company has six turbine models under consideration with a maximum of 36 turbines in the layout for a total project maximum output to the Alberta Grid of 154 MW.

between 155 and 165 metres. The power plant would also include a 34.5-kilovolt gathering system which would be used solely for collecting the electric energy generated by each turbine and transmitting the electric energy to the Grizzly Bear Creek Substation. The project would be located in the counties of Minburn No. 27 and Vermilion River, approximately 6.4 kilometres south of the Village of Mannville. The Grizzly Bear Creek 708S Substation would be wholly located in the southeast quarter of Section 21, Township 49, Range 8 west of the fourth Meridian. If you are someone who feels as though you may be affected by these applications your can provide your input to the AUC to review. Written submissions are due by September 10, 2021.

Heading Back To School/College
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
On September 1, children in Vermilion and surrounding areas will be heading back for the 2021-2022 school year. While this school year will be different than last year and students will hopefully be attending the whole school year in person. St. Jerome’s Catholic School Principle Allan Chase states that they are very excited about the school year. “We are really hoping that we will be able to do most of the things that we had to give up due to COVID restrictions last year,” said Chase. Also communicated through an email interview Chase provided some tips for parents on how to make every school year a successful one for both students and parents. “One tip would be open communication with teachers. Be proactive to stay involved with what is going on. Another way is to be supportive and get involved with the school activities and extracurriculars. Schools with positive school
community support are always more successful,” stated Chase. Chase also recommends being prepared. He suggests to do your best to have students get back into a routine so that they can transition into school life. “This year is likely going to be very different than it has been the last two years. Some extra work at home may be required. PAT’s and Diplomas are being reinstated and some students may have fallen behind in all areas due to the uncertainty. Parents being supportive of getting students caught back up (where needed) will be crucial to student success,” explained Chase. Lastly, Chase suggests everyone to follow health protocols, and says that school absenteeism for students and staff due to illness was almost non-existent last year because they all looked after themselves and each other much better. “Be very aware of good health management by washing hands and high touch surface areas as well as staying at home if any of us are experiencing symptoms,”
said Chase. As for the Lakeland College 202122 school year, the college is preparing to welcome students back. The current plan is to have their campus community fully engaged in learning and campus life at both their Vermilion and Lloydminster campuses this fall. President and CEO Dr. Alice Wainwright-Stewart stated that both campuses are designed to guide students beyond the classroom, creating tangible environments where they can learn, lead and manage. “More than just practicums or workstudy jobs, we create our programs with the future in mind, ensuring that after graduation, our students have the experience and knowledge to make a meaningful impact on their industries. With guidance from provincial health authorities and the Ministry of Advanced Education, we will ensure any required health and safety protocols are in place so that our students can fully benefit from our excellence in hands-on education,”
said Wainwright-Stewart. Wainwright-Stewart also mentioned that on August 9, Lakeland’s latest COVID-19 guidelines were shared , outlining restriction changes at both campuses and that guidelines are based on provincial guideline. She also mentions that while mandatory restrictions have been lifted, everyone is encouraged to assess and manage their personal risk and use precatuions that will serve their needs. “Over the last year, Lakeland was suc cessful in providing a blended program delivery that allowed more than 90 per cent of our students to engage in on-campus, in-person learning activities. Sixty per cent of total course hours were delivered on campus and in person in 2020-21. If need be, we’re poised to provide that once more as the past year has provided our campus community with the blueprint to do so. Any future COVID-19 updates will continue to be shared on our website at lakelandcollege.ca/covid19,” said Wainwright-Stewart.”

What Do Kids Need For At-Home Learning?
A r e yo ur c h i l d r e n b e i n g h o m e s c h o o l e d o r e n g ag e d i n at- h o m e learning because of the pandemic? If so, here’s some advice to help you create a comfortable and functional space where they can learn. The right tools In order to attend online courses and complete assignments, your children will need a computer. If you opt for a tablet, make sure it’s equipped with accessories such as a mouse and keyboard. A wireless printer with a scanner may also be useful. Additionally, you might want to invest in noise-cancelling headphones for your children to help them focus and avoid distractions.
The right environment If you want your c hil dren to b e s u c c e s s f u l, t h ey ’l l n e e d a s p a c e that’s conducive to learning. Set up an ergonomic desk in a well-lit space, an d g et t hem a c hair t hat will b e comfortable to sit in all day. A d d i t i o n a l l y, m a k e s u r e y o u r home’s internet connection is strong enough to allow for uninterrupted video conferencing. You should also c he c k that your p lan has enoug h bandwidth to allow your children to use their devices at the same time as anyone else who’s working from home. To find everything you need, visit the stores in your area. Photo submitted
5 Tips For Making Kid-Approved Lunches
Are you looking for ways to encourage your kids to eat healthy food at school? Here are a few tricks to make the contents of their lunchbox irresistible. 1. Create visual appeal Choose colourful foods, and arrange them in reusable containers that have several compartments. This will help keep ingredients looking and tasting fresh. Plus, your kids will have fun creating new combinations with every bite. 2. Alternate ingredients Keep things interesting by varying the type of bread you use for sandwiches. English muffins, pitas, bagels and tortillas are all great options. You can also mix things up with meat and
plant-based proteins, and serve fruit in a variety of forms (dried, puréed, in salads, etc.). 3. Take advantage of leftovers Did your kids really enjoy last night’s dinner? To keep the excitement going and save yourself some time, simply put the leftovers in an insulated food container. Similarly, you can prepare a large batch of their favourite hot meal to use as lunches during the week. 4. Include nutritious snacks If your children have a habit of not finishing their meal, make sure they have healthy and filling snacks on hand to give them the energy they need to get through the day. Think yogurt, trail mix or a legume pâté spread on crackers.

5. Provide protein-rich options On days when you’re pressed for time and need to opt for a ready-made meal and packaged snacks, be sure to favour ones with healthy ingredients that are
high in protein and fibre. Finally, consider getting your children involved in preparing their lunch. If they have fun putting it together, they’ll likely be excited to eat it.

These two siblings came in together but are not a bonded pair. They are looking for active homes to help them burn off the excess energy they are full of. We think they will get along with other dogs, but we haven’t tested them with cats. They can be a little protective of their food, and can still be jumpy and a bit nibbly, everything that comes with having a puppy. They’ll need someone with time and patience to help them with their manners and their food reactivity.

Vermilion Culture Fest Coming In September
Dawn Riley Reporter
In conjunction with several partners, the Lloydminster and Vermilion for Equity Foundation (LVE) will be holding a Culture Festival in Vermilion September 25 and 26. Funded in part from the Alberta Culture Days Grant, the Fest will be part of Vermilion’s Alberta Culture Days celebrations. Saturday the curling rink will host community members and organizations from the area, highlighting local businesses and regional multicultural entrepreneurs. Cultural dancers, musicians and food from around the world will be just some of the attractions of the weekend. Sunday
will focus on Reconciliation and Remembrance, with a keynote speaker and the opportunity for community members to partake in a Kairos Blanket Exercise. Saturday runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is free both days. If you would like to participate in the Kairos Blanket Exercise, you must pre-register for it at lvefoundation.com. The Lloydminster and Vermilion for Equity is a collective of residents of Vermilion, Lloydminster and the surrounding region who wish to bring light to the racial prejudice that exists here and around the world. They work collaboratively with
13
others in the community to educate and bring focus to the injustice and inequality that leads to socio-economic distortions. They aim to help those who are in need now – by improving access to social services and increasing much needed funding to agencies, charities and centers that are a lifeline to the racially marginalized. To become a part of the Vermilion Culture Fest, or for more information about it or LVE, contact Brad at 780-787-9225 or email lloydminstervermilionforequity@ gmail.com. Or check out their website, lvefoundation.com and their Facebook at Lloydminster and Vermilion for Equity. Look for the posters around town. Photo Submitted

Rebuilding From The Inside Out
Dawn Riley Reporter
Not too far from Vermilion, Fred Stroud has created a safe haven for old tractors that need some tender care to get back to their original state.
Stroud spends his weekends relieving his stress and taking a break from his high pressure job by restoring tractors from the inside out. “Most people paint them first and then look at the insides, I start from
A John Deere 720, which has two engines, one starts the other.

parts, he rebuilds the engines using original parts. It is a form of relaxation for him and can take some time, but well worth it, says Stroud. All the antique tractors Stroud owns run, with the exception of one John Deere 2 cylinder that was not cared fo r a n d t h e e n g i n e s e ize d b e fo r e coming to Vermilion. He is patiently working on unlocking the engine, a process that can take several months. A self proclaimed John Deere man (his modern working tractors are all green) Stroud does also own several International tractors, including an almost complete series of the 250, 300 and 350 from the early 1950’s. He managed to procure the 300, the hardest one to find, and is presently looking for a 250 from the group. A mid-1970’s International 980, the youngest tractor in the Stroud shop fires right up on the first turn of the key, and Stroud has been using it to prep an area to store the tractors when finished being rebuilt. Most of the antique tractors he owns are from the 1940’s and 50’s and each are unique in some way.
Mother Nature has claimed this Ferguson tractor.

The MAN VAN Is Back On The Road!
Prostate Cancer Centre Submitted
The MAN VAN™ will be at Art in the Park in Vermillion on September 11 between 11:00-3:00 and Wainwright Peace Memorial Multiplex on September 12 between 10-1:00 offering free baseline PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood tests to men over the age of 40 and Blood Pressure, Blood Glucose, Stress Check Questionnaire and Waist Circumference measurement to all men over 18. Balancing work, family and a social life keeps men busy. Health is not always top-of-mind. It can be very difficult for men to fit regular doctor visits into their schedules. That is why the Prostate Cancer Centre is pleased to offer the services of the MAN VAN to the community. No appointment is necessary. The PSA test is a simple blood test that
helps in the early detection of prostate cancer. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate and released in small amounts to the bloodstream. The amount of PSA in the bloodstream can often predict a man’s risk of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the leading cancer in Albertan men. One man in seven will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. Approximately 2600 men will be diagnosed annually with prostate cancer and 8 men will die from it every week. In Canada, the state of men’s health is often called the “silent crisis”. Men live five years less than women on average and out of the top 15 causes of death, men lead in 14. Men also are more likely to avoid preventative care, delay treatment, pay less attention to health information and are less likely to have a health care provider. Measurements for BMI, blood pressure and blood glucose

can help men determine a Man’s overall health status and allow health practitioners to catch and possibly reverse potential problems early on. The Prostate Cancer Centre is a nonprofit organization established in 1999 and focused on the early detection and treatment of prostate cancer and prostate related disease. We support excel-
lence in prostate cancer awareness, education, diagnosis, treatment, advocacy and research with the ultimate goal of eliminating advanced prostate cancer. The MAN VAN program is sponsored by AGAT Labs, Bayer CropScience, Nutrien. Vermillion & Wainwright Clinic sponsorship is through Inter Pipeline.
