Gathering to remember those who serve and have served, The Vermilion Legion hosted a Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Cenotaph on November 11. Drums filled the air as the parade opened the ceremony including members from the Lakeland Pipes and Drums, Legion members from the Field Marshal Alexander Branch #11, a 2645 Vermilion Army Cadets Colour Party, RCMP members, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Emergency Medical Services personnel, dignitaries, and families of veterans. Sadie Granigan led the singing of ‘O’ Canada,’ and Reverend Aubrey Bell led a prayer. A moment of silence was held before a procession of wreaths was laid by representatives. At the Legion, forwarded messages were read aloud or delivered in person. “It is a day steeped in both tradition and sorrow. The need to remember is as important to us now as it was then. Lest we forget,” said MLA Richard Starke in a letter. Mayor, Caroline McAuley shared memories of family that had emigrated from Holland, along with her gratefulness to live
in a free and democratic country - Canada. Legion President Garry Zayac thanked volunteers and community contributors prior to the luncheon. Guests enjoyed viewing the community displays at the Legion including the 3D replica given to Robert Snelgrove in honour of his uncle, Thomas Alban Snelgrove, who died at Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917. According to Robert, there are only three replicas in existence, one at Vimy in France, one at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, and one in Vermilion. WWII Veteran, Ellwood Hill, attended in full uniform again this year and enjoyed the ceremony and visiting with family and community members. At 96 years old, Hill travelled from Vegreville because having been raised 12 miles south of town, he still considers Vermilion home. Hill served from 1941- 1945 as part of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps in the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 23rd Field Ambulance. The D-Day Veteran spent time training in England, served in France, Holland, Belgium, and Germany. He was the recipient of a voluntary service medal, German Star, the Defence Medal, and the Legion of Honour which is the
highest French order of merit. “Canada was a volunteer Army, but in those days when you were 18, they called you up to serve, so we were conscripted,” said Hill.
Poppy Chairman, Marcel Lefebvre, shared the importance of holding a ceremony to remember and said, “So we never, never forget the people that sacrificed so much so that we could have freedom.”

Remembrance Ceremonies At Vermilion Schools
Shawna Chernichen Reporter
On November 8, Vermilion Elementary School, St. Jerome’s School and J.R. Robson School each held a Ceremony in honour of Remembrance Day. All of the ceremonies started and finished with a March of the Colours which had members of the Vermilion Royal Canadian Legion led in by piper Bill McIldoon. Vermilion Elementary School sang a couple of songs, read a couple of poems as well as observed a moment of silence. They also took a moment to lay the wreaths that each class had made for the occasion. St. Jerome’s School had a welcoming prayer by Rev. Audrey Bell, a video presentation on The Battle of Passchendaele, read a few poems and obser ved a moment of silence. The laying of the wreaths followed, and the grade 3 and 4 class sang God Save the Queen. Several J.R. Robson School students read poems, and guest s p e a ke r D e l a n o To l l ey t o l d s o m e stories about his experiences in the Cold War and recited stories of both World Wars as told to him by other Ve t e r a n s . T h e s c h o o l a l s o h a d a wreath-laying presentation, and the ceremony concluded with a moment of silence, as well as the playing of God Save the Queen. The mes sag e d elivere d at eac h c erem o ny was to remem ber all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country so we can live in freedom.

I will never understand in a million years what gives someone the impression that they have the right to abuse another person. Our world ha s e n ou g h v i o l e n c e in it wit h out having to worry about being abused by a supposed loved one. November is Family Violence awareness month, and according to T h e Ch i ef Pu b l i c H ea l t h O f fi c er ’s Report on the State of Public Health in Canada 2016 by Dr. Gregory Taylor, Canada’s family violence rate is staggering. I have been watching a show called Forensic Files that shows how cases
The Vermilion Voice | November 13, 2017
Wishing It Would End
are solved using forensics and I have noticed that many of the cases aired involve cases of domestic abuse and murder as a result. I don’t know if the show’s producers intentionally picked such cases or not, but it has certainly opened my eyes to how many cases there are out there where the spouse and in some cases the children are murdered. O f course, murdering a family member is the extreme version of family violence, but it does happen and is often the end result of the more passive (if you want to call it that) forms of domestic violence. When researching this topic, I found some statistics showing just how prevalent it is in Canada. A report for 2010 from a Canada-wide police database showed at least 65 cases of homic i d e were a s p o u s al h o m i c i d e. In
2011 according to Statistic Canada, there were 89 intimate partner homicides (76 female victims and 13 male victims). In 2012 there were 82 intimate partner homicides in Canada – seven fewer than the previous year – with the majority (83 per cent) involving a female victim. In 2014 there were 8 6 c ases re p or te d an d t hre e les s reported in 2015 totaling 83 intimate partner homicides. I think you c an see the pi c ture. Family violence, no matter what type, can lead to a person losing their life. According to the repor t mentioned above by Dr. Gregory Taylor collecting and interpreting data on family v i o l e n c e i s c h a l l e n g i n g f o r m a ny reasons, but one of the main reasons is because persons of family violence fear for their safety or the safety of
their children. I know it is unrealistic to think that violence in this world will ever end; but if I was given one wish, it would be to end the violence that happens in our world (no matter what kind) and make this world we live in a peaceful place. If you know of anyone who may be experiencing any form of abuse, please seek help, no one should ever have to experience the pain of abuse especially by the hand of someone who is supposed to love you.

This has become one of my favorite recipes. It is for a single serving, and it is quick and easy to make for break fast. You can double or triple this recipe, depending on how many you are cooking for. This is a gluten free version of pancakes. Almost all of the carbohydrates in ground flax seed are fiber, making this a great low carb food. Flax is one of those foods that we seldom eat, yet it has a multitude of benefits. When eating flax it is best to consume ground flax seed.
Flax Flapjacks
Whole flax seed will simply pass right through, without giving you the benefit of its unique nutritional profile. Ground flax seed is high in magnesium, manganese and vitamin B1. You can buy flax seed ground, or you can purchase the whole seed and freshly grind it in a coffee grinder. Ground flax seeds are high in both soluble and non-soluble fiber, which help lower cholesterol. The fiber in flax also helps with good digestion, blood sugar balance and weight loss. Flax contains special fiber related poly phenol antioxidants called lignans. The lignans found in flax are converted by our gut bacteria to produce balanced hormones, and reduce the risk of breast cancer, as
well as a reduced risk of prostate, colon and ovarian cancer. Because flax helps to balance hormones, it is beneficial to menopausal women as well. Flax seeds are rich in a form of healthy omega 3 that is called ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). ALA is beneficial for the hair, skin and nails. Flax seeds also contain protein with an amino acid panel that favours improved immune function, decreased tumor production and it is also anti fungal. Overall there is an abundance of good reasons to add more flax to our diets. I hope you love these flap jacks as much as I do. Flax Flapjacks 1/4 cup ground flax seed

They are really good with blueberries and whipped cream or butter and your favourite syrup.
The Urban VS. Rural Debate
James Wolters Columnist
The beginning of November has been a time since my late teens that has been spent in what could be described as traditionally common for one coming from a rural background: the pursuit of game. Not to say that everyone who was immersed in the trifecta of a hunting, fishing, and trapping household took up the torches of all those pastimes as their own later on…clearly in my family and others that was and is not the case. In my case, though hunting and the hunter became both the activity and identity adopted, and though still occasionally tried brother Gord filled the moniker of fisherman better than ever I did, and trapping though it supplied a first computer it was left in the past. So each fall, like many still do from this part of Alberta, I return to the hunt. I do so for many reasons...even though the hurdles and red tape to do it at times have been obstacles that made you ponder the idea
of why are you continuing with the whole exercise. But the chance to be outdoors in nature, to shed the trappings of civilization for a time and return to using primal senses as they were both given and created for…it has made overcoming the obstacles worthwhile for all the experiences gained from it in my case….whether I succeeded or not. For me, and others I’m sure, it is a very personal investment, and it would be easier to divide ourselves from our own DNA than to stop doing. Perhaps the timing of that ponderous prior why thinking began to arrive when the shift in where I hung my hat became, though not entirely 100%, more urbanely based than rural and coincided almost to the step with societal shifts around those above pastimes, and guns in particular. Now having lived to a ripe age that is approaching the Roman numeral ‘L,’ there is basically a 25 year split overlaying these things right down to where that rural-urban ‘divide’ began to rear its head. Now I do say divide here because of the wide discrepancy of viewpoint quite easily offered and

The County of Vermilion River hosted a ‘Beavers In our Landscape’ workshop on November 8, at the Red Feather Ridge. Environmental staff and landowners met to discuss benefits and difficulties associated with beavers, along with education, prevention, and extension. According to Kerri O’Shaughnessy, Cows and Fish Riparian Specialist, beavers led to the development of Canada through the European fur trade and early government. She added that the species has been transforming landscapes for about one million years, and there are currently 50 places with names in Alberta related to the species. According to O’Shaughnessy, dealing with the rodent is not a new problem and legislation may need to be addressed in order to transfer them live so that relocation can become a more viable option. She went on to say that as a creature on the pest act for many years, the beaver is not favourable by everyone and can cause large amounts of damage in a hurry in

some cases, but others, often like to enjoy watching them do their work. Local rancher, Brandon Nagy attended to see what could be done in the event of a dam blowout which could hypothetically damage fences, farmland, etc. “I want to ensure that the cattle would still have access to water, and I want to ensure the ability to coexist peacefully,” said Nagy. In the past, Nagy had beavers on his land that chewed through the wire of a water pumping system in a pond. Options were discussed for multiple scenarios including installing audio of running water to attract beavers to sites that people would prefer them to build dams, deterrents, blowing dams, scent markers, cayenne pepper, other animal hair, coating trees with sand and paint mixture, lethal or live trapping, as well as regulating water levels. A popular discussion was held around a community watershed approach and the installation of pond levelers. Jennifer Caudron, Cows and Fish Riparian Specialist, shared case studies from around North
America that had proved beneficial for fish, cattle, and recreation areas by reducing potential flood damage and storing water in dry seasons. According to Caudron, the Cooking Lake/Blackfoot Provincial Recreation Area, estimated a $384,000 savings in management costs between 2014 – 2016 when using pond levellers in 14 sites
versus traditional methods of hiring backhoes, trappers and purchasing dynamite. Coudron gathered that each pond leveller could cost between $500 - $1,000 depending on materials used. For more information on what can be done, you can contact ALUS CVR Program Coordinator, Chris Elder, or search www. cowsandfish.org.

Town Council
times. The Public Safety and Protection Services Committee wants to ensure everyone’s safety; therefore, a proposal was made to change the times to Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. throughout the school year, and in addition playground zones would be changed to be in effect daily from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. After discussing the necessity of the change, and viewing statistics on ingoing and outgoing traffic in school zones, council defeated the motion. Counc il noted that upon having received approximately six applications
7
for the New Commercial Retail Development Incentive Program and that two applicants were ready to be approved. The motion was carried for ‘The Red Brick’ to be located downtown and to be approved for $20,000 through the new community retail development incentive. A motion was carried for ‘The Men’s Den’ to be approved for $12,000 through the new community retail development incentive. Questioning future recipients, Councillor McCullough asked, “How long does a business have to stay open?”
According to Councillor Henderson, the committee conducts a thorough review of the one-time application process. George Rogers, Town of Vermilion CAO said that they do have to open, but there was no stipulation on for how long. “Most businesses will be investing as much or more of their own funds. It is a great program that goes to show the commitment of this council to grow Vermilion,” said Rogers. According to council, the funds will be provided in 2018 provided the businesses meet the program’s conditions.

Cow-Calfenomics Agri-News Cow-Calfenomics 2017/2018 is being offered this fall and winter at a number of Alberta locations. “Cow-Calfenomics is an information session designed for Alberta’s beef producers and their industry partners,” says Rick Dehod, farm financial specialist, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF). “The series focuses on increasing participant’s farm business management knowledge to enhance their decision-making skills. This year’s session’s theme is Enhancing Farm Business Decisions in Alberta’s Cow Calf Sector.” Dehod says the series brings a lot of information, ideas, and opportunities for producers to add to their management ‘tool kit’ to help them make better choices based on better information. “Equally important is the chance for producers to engage and interact with peers, helping turn information into action.” Topics this year will include: • The use of risk management tools in the beef industry. • Business structures for new entrants. • Production enterprise analysis. • AgriProfit$ beef. • A farmer’s guide to agricultural credit. • The value of having a mentor. “As well, Anne Wasko will once again be joining us to give a cattle market situation and outlook,” says Dehod. “We’re very excited to have Anne out with us again. Anne’s passion and insight for Canada’s beef industry makes her presentation a must-see.” Cow-Calfenomics will be held in six locations across the province:
• November 14, 2017 - Brooks. Heritage Inn and Convention Centre. • November 15, 2017 - Lethbridge. Country Kitchen Catering (in the lower level of the Keg). • November 16, 2017 - Olds. Pomeroy Inn and Suites at Olds College. • January 23, 2018 - Vermilion. Vermilion Regional Centre. • January 24, 2018 - Westlock. Westlock Inn and Conference Centre. • January 25, 2018 - Stettler. Stettler Agriculture Society. Registration starts at 9 a.m. for all dates with the session itself running from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. “AF will be delivering these sessions with the strong support of our partners, Growing
Forward 2, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and the Alberta Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) member organizations,” says Dehod. “As well, the Alberta Beef Producers continue to recognize the importance of engaging our youth into the industry and is sponsoring the registration of students and producers who are 25 years of age or younger.” The registration deadline is Tuesday, November 7, 2017, for the 2017 fall meetings, and Tuesday, January 16, 2018, for the 2018 winter meetings. The registration fee is $30 (GST is included in the price) and includes lunch. To register, call the Ag-Info Centre at 1-800387-6030 or register online. If exempt from paying GST, call 1-800-387-6030 to register.

DEPRESSION In Men
Each year, the Movember Foundation strives to raise both awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Mental health is a crucial component of the campaign, especially considering that millions of North American men struggle with depression daily. While more women are diagnosed with the illness, the fatality rate of depression is four times higher in men. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in men under the age of 45. D e pre s s i o n in m e n of te n g o e s untreated, undiagnosed and unrecognized among those who are affected. Men are frequently unwilling to seek help for their mental health issues, perhaps because societal norms discourage them from expressing emotion and displaying anything that might be seen as weakness. But this culture of silence when it comes to depression is exactly why the illness is so deadly for men. Getting help to overcome depression
requires fortitude and strength, and it can literally save a life. If yourself or a man in your life is displaying signs of depression, consult with a doctor. Although depression manifests differently in everyone, here are some common symptoms. • Irritability or anger • Feelings of sadness or emptiness • Fatigue • Insomnia or sleeping too much • Change in appetite • Weight loss or weight gain • Difficulty concentrating • Loss of interest in work, family and pastimes • Aches and pains, headaches or digestive problems The most important thing to remember is that depression is not just feeling blue or downtrodden. It is an illness that requires medical care. This Movember, grow your moustache or sponsor a Mo Bro to help raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health.

Are Hunters At Risk Of Poisoning From Lead Bullets?
PHOTOs: Jupiterimages / altrendo nature / David de lossy / THINKSTOCK
Lead is used in many commercial products, including ammunition used by big game hunters. It is a toxic product for animal species as well as humans. One possible method of contamination is when wildlife ingests the lead
particles scattered among the viscera of slaughtered game. As any hunter will tell you, lead bullets fragment on impact. These numerous particles spread around the point of impact, including in the entrails, which are left in the woods by hunters after eviscer-
NEED MOOSE OR ELK ?
ation. When animals eat these leftovers, they absorb the lead particles, which end up poisoning them. In fact, a study of ravens, a common bird known to feed on entrails left by hunters, has been conducted in eastern Canada. This study showed i n c r e a s e d l e a d c o n c e n t r at i o n levels in the blood of some of these birds during the hunting season, a period when birds have access to viscera discarded by hunters. Results from this study also concur
with previous observations in birds of prey across North America. Now that this phenomenon is well documented among ravens and birds of prey, researchers say it is possible that it could also occur in humans who eat game meat. Their recommendation? Hunters should avoid causing this problem by using ammunition made from other metals and that is available in hunting stores. Ongoing studies will soon tell us more about this problem.

SCHOOL NEWS Margaret McCormack Submitted
St. Jerome’s School took time to remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms on Wednesday, November 8, at 11a.m. at our Remembrance Day Service. Students and staff wearing red in remembrance and support of our troops gathered together in the school gymnasium along with Vermilion Cadets members and numerous veterans for our Remembrance Day Service. Breanna Maughan and Jennifer Peterson acted as Mistresses of Ceremonies for the ceremony. After the March of Colours by the local Cadets and members of the Vermilion Royal Canadian Legion piped in by Bill McIldoon, Marie Pottle led us in “O Canada”. Mr. Chase read a Remembrance Day message from MLA Dr. Richard Starke followed by the grade five class reciting the poem, “In Flanders Field” written by Colonel John McCrea. The students showed their respect during the solemn portion of the service with the Last Post, 2 Minute Silence, and Reveille. Then two students from each class placed a class wreath or cross in the front of the gym. The ceremony ended with the Grade

four class leading those gathered in the singing of “God Save the Queen” and the Marching out of the Colours. Thank you to Mrs. Clarke for organizing this service, as well as all those who participated to make this a very memorable and meaningful service. We were very honoured that the veterans and cadets took the time to join us for lunch after the ceremony. Volleyball has overtaking the gym at St. Jerome’s this past week as the Jr. High Season came to an end and our Sr. High teams are working hard to reach Provincials. The Sr. Boys hosted a very successful tournament during the first weekend of November. The boys played consistently during round robin play ending up in the “B” side of the tournament. The team battled hard through playoffs and won Gold in the “B” event. On Monday, November 6, the boys participated in the Districts tournament hosted by Paradise Valley where they went undefeated winning districts. The Sr. Girls won silver when they hosted Districts on Monday, November 6. The team will participate in Zones, which will be held in Paradise Valley this weekend. Come out and cheer on the Sr. Boys as they host zones this weekend,
November 17 and 18. The Jr. High Boys and Girls Spartans hosted the “Mackenzie Cup” on Tuesday, November 7. The “Mackenzie Cup” includes teams form Vermilion, Provost, Wainwright, Castor, and Settler. It was a great day of volleyball and both of the Spartan teams ended their seasons winning Silver. Thank you to all the coaches, staff members, and parents for
all the support they gave all the junior high teams throughout this year. All students will receive their first Report Cards this week. Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held on Monday, November 20 from 4 -7 p.m. and Tuesday, November 21 from 5 -8 p.m. Kindergarten to grade five interviews are scheduled. Middlelevel and High School Interviews are set up as drop-in meetings.

Carbon monoxide is an
The Kindness Blooms
invisible, silent, odourless killer.
Heather MacMillian Submitted
The Kindness Blooms is a two-week-long interactive Community project coordinated by the Vermilion Outreach School students. It ’s a “ Kindness Tree” where people who visit Cornerstone Co-op can share something kind that happened to them or they did for someone else. The purpose of the project is to highlight the good in our community and hopefully put a smile on someone’s face, inspire acts of kindness, and generally promote kindness. Community members are encouraged to stop in near the Popcorn Machine at Cornerstone Co-op and place a “Bloom” sticky note on the Kindness Tree! The Board was designed by students, and the group includes: Sean Holoway, Jake Glasgow, Miles Arneson, Deacun Drader, Haley Russell, & Sarah Strand. Many thanks to Decals & Sign Obsessions for printing & producing the board, and to John Lychak for the use of his easel.

BRUCE BOWMAN October 12, 1938 - October 13, 2017
Bruce Rene Bowman was born on October 12, 1938 at the hospital in Islay, AB. Bruce passed away October 13, 2017 in Dewberry at the age of 79 years. A celebration of Bruce’s life was held at the Dewberry Arena on Saturday, October 21, 2017 with a full house of family and friends sharing special memories. He was the seventh of eight children born to Frank and Jesse Bowman of Dewberry, AB. He is survived by his long-time companion, Mary, his two sons, Kevin and Kyle, and his daughter Carrie. He is grandpa to Isabelle, Natasha, Ryan, Kyle Jr. , Theoron, Brandon and Hayden. He is also survived by his siblings, Mildred, Bernice, Edsel and Alvin, their spouses and numerous nieces and nephews. Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Jesse and Frank, his son, Kelly, and siblings, Harvey, June and Jean. Bruce enjoyed life, especially hunting and fishing and in his younger years was a very competitive baseball player. He thoroughly enjoyed camping trips with friends always having a story to tell and a laugh to share. It was very fitting that Bruce’s final tribute was held at the Dewberry Arena as he never missed a Mustang home game and the arena held a very special place in his heart. We, the family of the late Bruce Bowman, would like to express our sincere Thanks and appreciation for your many acts of kindness, support and messages of sympathy. They continue to be a great comfort to us in our time of sorrow. We would like to send a huge Thank You to the Dewberry First Responders, Vermilion Ambulance and Kitscoty RCMP.

On November 3 and 4, eight teams from Vermilion and surrounding area took part in a ladies rec. volleyball tournament. The tournament consisted of 20 games with the top three teams earning prize money. There was a concession and raffle table as well. In total, the school was able to raise $2590 to put towards enhancing technology. A huge thank you to all those who supported the event. We had our assembly on November 7. We started it with the singing of O’Canada and the VES song, and Mrs. Webb acknowledged the land we live, work and learn on as Treaty #6. Mrs. Moses shared about perseverance being our November virtue and Keyen Murray won the draw for the bike (donated by Rona) by showing compassion and positive self-talk. Mrs. Joa’s yoga class did a presentation, and Mrs. Doherty and Mrs. Goodwin’s drama kids were acknowledged, as well as the Grade 6 games zone leaders and Mrs. Alana Pinkoski-Benoit. Mrs. Tomkins told us we had doubled our AR points in the month of October. Fat Cat was present at our assembly and 5B and 2B were privileged to have him come to their classrooms as they had the most AR
points in each division. Congratulations to Jackson Maier and Carter Jaremco, who were presented with Reader of the Month certificates. VES held their Remembrance Day ceremony at 9:00 on November 8. Several military personal – Gordon Hills, Barry Roth, Gary Zayac, Ed Mistal, George Matichuk - and cadets – Regann Munro, Travis Musijowski, Rhys Racine, Austin Bodurka, Brittany Nichols, Julia Yaceyko, Caitlin Nichols, Blake Dutchak - were piped into our gym by Bill McIldoon. The K-3 students sang “Just One Candle” and Grade 4-6 students sang a tribute to military veterans to the tune of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”. Rev. Elizabeth Metcalfe spoke to our students about peace, and wreaths made by each class were laid at the front of the gym. Please join us for the School Council meeting on Nov. 13 in the library. This month’s agenda will include a review of Provincial Achievement Tests, Board and Administrators’ reports, and a review of school council by-laws. Child care will be provided in the gym. All parents are encouraged to attend. Check out the VES Website for agendas and minutes from the meetings. A big thank you to all families who supported our fall fund raiser. The money that we earned from this sale will go toward

GEMINI
Brunch, a long walk, or a quiet dinner will secure your position in the relationship. Put your thoughts into some trendy new ideas. You can expect to have some health problems if you haven't taken proper care of yourself.
CANCER
A little overtime may help you reduce the workload. Don't avoid situations that may deteriorate; try to mend them. Leave things as they are for the moment and focus on reaching your highest potential at work.
You'll find it easy to meet new people. Your sensitivity toward those you love will capture their hearts Don't let others take advantage of your good nature. You can complete any projects efficiently, especially if you put the effort in yourself. Avoid any over indulgences. You can meet new and exciting friends who will provide mental stimulation. Your mind may not be on the job. Get involved in volunteer work that will bring you satisfaction, not an empty wallet. Try not to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.
LEO
Make alternate plans just in case you need to make a career shift. Sudden romantic infatuations could lead to a significant and prosperous connection. People trying to entice you to join in will be less than trustworthy.

Mountains
Susanna Pankiw Submitted
No truer words were spoken than by Vince Lombardi, who said, “The man on top of the mountain didn’t fall there!” I believe this statement can be made to apply to everyone’s life. It allows us to look deep inside ourselves to find our inner strength and desires and to decide how much effort we will place in them. Over the last few weeks at Dewberry School we have had multiple chances to observe the determination of staff and students as they face the challenges to climb various mountains. With an environment full of personal, athletic, social and educational mountains there is always an opportunity to see them in action.
A huge summit to ascend is attempted by our athletes. Our three volleyball teams have risen to the challenge and maintained fabulous standings in several tournaments. Junior Boys got their second win at the St. Jerome’s tournament in October. Such an awesome job especially since it is a small team and they have had to recruit members from elementary. They placed 4th in the districts and received a spot in the BTPS playoffs. Great effort, boys!! The junior girls also demonstrated perseverance in their last few tournaments, succeeding at so many levels. What a well-played season, girls. Senior girls continue to perform fantastically, not only were they gold medal winners at the Marwayne tournament on October 30, but they also went on to play some pretty serious teams from larger schools in the tour-
Vermilion Rock vs Kitscoty Monarchs Friday, November 17 @ 8:30 PM Guaranteed 50/50 Draw
50/50 Guarantee is sponsored by McDonald’s Family Foods nament in Cold Lake November 3 & 4. They now progress to zones. Good luck girls!! The grade 5/6 class advanced up the reading mountain as they entered the Reading, Give it a Shot challenge. Their prize? They earned a trip to an Oil Kings game on October 20. Not only proving that reading is vital but it can also be fun, especially when major athletic teams support the mission. Our community is very supportive when it comes to assisting the school in its various programs. The Co-op kicked off their Bags for Breakfast initiative with a pancake breakfast one Wednesday
morning. What is it? For every shopping bag customers bring in to reuse at the local Co-op, 3 cents will be donated towards the breakfast programs in the BTPS division. This means, that we will be able to continue to put breakfast in our students stomachs to aid in their educational advancements. Lou Holtz said, “Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you will do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” As the school year stretches before us, we will continue to encourage and nurture the abilities, motivation and attitude of all our students to see where that path leads them.
