The Royal Canadian Legion, Field Marshal Alexander Branch #11 hosted a Remembrance Day Ceremony at the Cenotaph in Vermilion on November 11. Following the singing of, ‘O’Canada’, a moment of silence and the laying of the wreaths, dignitaries and guests met at the Legion to continue the ceremony. Legion Presid ent, Garr y Z ayac, welcomed everyone; and Capt Doug Jordan, Commanding Officer for the 2645 Vermilion Army Cadets, gave a salute to the Fallen. “Today we pause in grateful remembrance; victory came at a heavy price. Today we take time to honour the thousands of Albertans who had the bravery to serve and the men and women who are now serving; today and always – we will remember them,” said Mayor Caroline McAuley. Reverend, Aubrey Bell gave the Pastor’s Sermon and said, “France and Belgium were laced with railway tracks, and when bombed, they had to be repaired. Many of the repairmen were
Canadian as they had railroaded in the toughest times. While being shot at, they couldn’t shoot back. There were also Forestry troops with Canadians as well as horses and the men to handle them in the Transport Corps. I still have the letter from my uncle saying, he only got shot three times.” Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps WWII Veteran, Ellwood Hill, attended the ceremony, and according to his son, Don Hill, he served with the forces that landed in Normandy on D-Day. “He stayed in France for about a month until they pushed the Germans out, and then moved on to Holland, Belgium and Germany serving as a medic. He looked after wounded soldiers as well as many wounded civilians. He often gave some of his rations to children as the Dutch families were starving. One of his brothers Wendel, also served but they seldom saw each other being in different units,” said Don Hill. Don went on to say that his father had made many friends amongst the Dutch people, and they even stay in touch. When he returned from WWII, he served
as a Baptist pastor and retired in his early 60’s moving back to the family farm south of Vermilion. The 98-year old veteran and his wife of 71 years now reside in
Mundare. Surrounded by a lot of family, Ellwood enjoyed attending the ceremony and many from the community appreciated seeing him in his original uniform.

November snow and cold has me craving warming soups. We grow o ni o n s in our farm garden, and I love to use them in so many dishes. This soup is very filling and it tastes great. This soup base starts with a roux (pronounced roo). Its base is one of the five mother sauces that chef’s study. It is called Bechamel in France, but on the prairies, we call it a basic white sauce. I love onions, and all the flavour that they add to a dish, but I also love that they are super healthy. Onions are a great source of the nutrient quercetin, and the good news is that cooked onions retain this beneficial nutri-

Onions contain both quercetin and chromium, which both assist in blood sugar control. Onions and garlic contain sulfur compounds that work to detox our bodies by binding to heavy metals such as lead, mercur y and cadmium and then escorting them out of the body. Green onion tops are a source of vitamin A. With all of these great benefits it is no wonder that some researchers are wondering if it is actually the onion, which is responsible for the French paradox, which allows the French to indulge in so many rich foods while remaining heart healthy. Onions and garlic add a lot a flavour and health benefits to so many dishes, making it a favored ingredient in Canadian prairie cooking as well. In Canada, bacon is practically a

national food. I bet you are surprised to know that even bacon has some health benefits. It is a source of first-class protein, as well as B vitamins, zinc, choline and an amazing amount of selenium. Interestingly the fat in bacon is 50 per cent monosaturated, which is the same type of fat that healthy olive oil is. Bacon is made up of 40 per cent saturated fat, and there is currently controversy over the effects of saturated fat, some studies prove it is beneficial, while others conclude it is not. If you are eating dairy free, you can sub out the milk for coconut milk, use bacon fat or margarine for the butter, and it will still be filled with creamy goodness.

Assessing The Lands Of Wellington Municipal District
Craig Baird Columnist
When we think of municipal districts, we probably focus on how they would build roads, put up telegraph or phone l i n e s a n d wo r k to c o n n e c t eve r y one in the rural areas they represent but really the governments of these districts did so much more than that. One example of this comes from the Wellington Municipal District. This district had been formed out of several lo c al im provement d istr i c ts in the area, nine in total. In 1912, those nine local improvement districts merged into the municipal district, with a new council and bylaws. At the start, three of the councillors for the district had
already served with the local improvement districts of their areas, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge. John Barclay had been the secretary of the Local Improvement District 24 -A- 4 and would take on the same role in the new municipal district. At the time of its formation, the main issue was building roads, installing c ulver t s an d pre par ing br i d g e approaches. These were all things the local improvement districts were working on, and it was work the municipal district would continue. Huber t Mitchell wrote of his time on Wellington council, stating that “barring a few short quarrels with one councillor, my experiences were very happy.” He served as the road foreman for many years in the area. This brings us to Herman Coles,
who shows that the municipal district did much more than just look at roads. He had been hired out of Lloydminster in 1929 to assess the lands of the district, which provided a big safety benefit to residents. In all, there were eight classes of land for him to assess on a property and it was based on his own observations and the situations he saw. For example, one class of land was for very level lands that had excellent black soil and were perfect places for farming. This class also had an added danger of flooding because of the hard pan under the black soil. This then helped to inform the residents of the area, new and incoming, what the benefits and disadvantages of the area were. Other pieces of land would be classed in another cate gory because the drainage was good,
Healthy Holiday Eating
AHS Submitted
Food is an important part of many holiday celebrations with family and friends. The foods served at these times can be higher in calories, fat, and/or sugar. It is also easy to overeat when there is a lot of food around. As a result, people may gain weight over the holidays. With a little planning, you can make healthy food choices and still enjoy holiday celebrations. Holiday eating tips: Limit appetizers It is easy to eat a full meal’s worth of calories from appetizers alone. For example, two chicken wings, two sausage rolls, and one mini quiche have the same calories as a healthy meal. Choose a few items that you enjoy, and leave the rest. Visit with friends away from the appetizer or food
table. Drink water or chew gum to help avoid mindless eating. Build a healthy plate You can enjoy holiday foods without giving up healthy eating. Try to make a healthy plate, even at a party. Start with a smaller plate, if possible, to help you keep your portions smaller. Fill at least ½ of your plate with vegetables and fruit. They are high in fibre so they keep you full longer. They are also lower in calories. Fill ¼ of your plate with grains. Choose whole grains more often (for example, brown rice, whole wheat pasta). Fill ¼ of your plate with meat or alternatives. Make healthy choices such as fish, lean cuts of meat, or meat alternatives (beans, lentils or tofu). Take charge in the kitchen Do yourself and your guests a favour

Vermilion’s Alphonse McKay was presented a 2019 Saskatchewan Heritage Award by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, the Honourable Russell Mirasty, on October 9, at Government House in Regina. He was presented the award for distributing ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’ during his participation in the ‘Learning From Our Elders: Living Heritage Workshops’ at Charlebois School in Cumberland House. A past resident, he was invited by his niece who teaches there and organized the project. During the project, students listened to oral stories and created either a written narrative, or a piece of artwork that included words or a phrase from the Swampy Cree language. McKay spoke in both English and Cree, sharing his life experiences overall. “In those days there was no electricity. A lot of the families at Cumberland House used horses to haul water and wood because some were a mile from the river. There were no power saws; just hand saws. The trappers in those days used dog teams to haul meat and supplies back and forth from home to the trap line.

The Grand Champion Female was Black Angus cow BROOKING COUNTESS 7077 with calf at side BROOKING DUSTY’S COUNTESS from Brooking Angus Ranch of Radville, Saskatchewan and Dusty Rose Cattle Co. The Grand Champion Bull was Limousin
GREENWOOD ELECTRIC IMPACT ET from Greenwood Limousin of Lloydminster, Alberta. More than $110,000 in cash and prizes were awarded including a new RAM truck for each of the champions. Farmfair International is pleased to partner with the Olds Fall Classic and Lloydminster Stockade Round-up to create the Alberta Supreme Show, which showcases breed champions from all three of the top cattle shows in Alberta to name two Alberta Supreme Grand Champions. The Grand Champions from all breeds and their owners competed head to head for the Alberta Supreme Show titles and the chance to
drive away in a brand new RAM truck. Northlands President and CEO Peter Male started the evening by remarking on the hard work and dedication it takes to be one of the exhibitors in the arena tonight. “Agriculture remains at the heart of what Northlands stands for and believes in,” Male said. “If you do something that you love with passion, over time you will elevate it into an artform. That’s what we see here today.” Judge Riley Mader said a few words before the slap. “For us in the purebred cattle business—this is the big leagues. This is our Stanley Cup, this is our CFR, this is our PGA tour, and our World Series,” said Mader. “I truly
commend each and every one of you out on this ring tonight. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth time, the bittersweet feeling of representing your family, your farm, and your breed is irreplaceable.” Jackie Payne, of Greenwood Limousin, summed up her excitement after the announcement. “It’s a whole lot of hard work and dedication to our breed and the cattle industry that all kind of came together, and this is a really great celebration.” Payne was overwhelmed with emotion, hugging the judges and thanking them. “I’m so excited and grateful and proud of our people and my family.”

Marwayne Hotel Submitted
Please accept this letter as our Invitation to you, your friends and your family to venture to downtown Marwayne for our annual “Lite Up Marwayne Community Christmas Event” Our festivities will be on Sunday, December 1, from 4 - 7 p.m. on Centre Street in Marwayne. Our “ Lite Up Mar wayne” event is or g a n ize d by vo l u nte er s fr o m t h e community and from local businesses. This event has proven to be a wellattended activity no matter what mother nature has to throw at us. This will be the 8th year for our Lite Up festivities
Angela Mouly
and we have been able to, with donations and volunteers, provide a free event for families during the Christmas Season. In par tnership with this event, a couple of our “Ag Society’ members will be renting the Senior’s Centre for a place to keep warm and put all the fixings on your hot dogs. If you are wondering where are our Seniors? Well, they have decided to retire and let the “young ones” take over. Their help in the past has been greatly appreciated and hopefully they will still come to the Seniors Centre and enjoy the activities. We will have hot cocoa
& coffee and everything you need to doctor up that yummy hotdog. Our local Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department will have the Fire Truck decorated and will be delivering a special surprise around 6:00 pm. Mr. Ted Etherington has volunteered to provide Sleigh Rides for those brave enough to come out in the cold and we have been blessed again to have Tim & Sheila Gibbs donate their time by providing great music and entertainment. We have been searching for a few Carolers who may wish to come out and sing some carols, so if you know of any carolers that would
like to serenade us, they are more than welcome. Our outdoor Fire Pits will be toasty warm and ready for you to roast your hotdogs or to just keep you warm. Oh yes!!!!! We can’t forget to mention that a bit of street hockey may take place and last but not least, that jolly fellow Santa Clause will be arriving with Mrs. Claus to hand out Candy Canes to all the little ones. Hope you are able to make it out to Marwayne on December 1, to enjoy an evening of fun, food and music. Please see the attached poster for your information.

Later after he had been away over a year, she travelled back to Vermilion on the train with two small children.

When freezers became more popular the lockers dwindled and it was turned in to a Tomboy store carrying more groceries. “I worked most of my life up until 1965,” said Elsie who also volunteered with the Photo supplied Rebecca Lodge and the Legion.

The show date is Saturday, November Jim @780 853 0642. a printing error in a Bombardier brochure changed the name Ski-Dog to Ski-Doo. The popularity of the Ski-doo brand led to skidoo or skidooing being synonymous with snowmobiling in much of Canada. The first Ski-Doos were popular with missionaries, trappers, prospectors, land surveyors and others who needed to travel in snowy, remote areas. But the largest success for the snowmobile came from sport enthusiasts, and by the early 1970’s there were more than 100 manufacturers of snowmobiles. Currently only four remain. The 8th edition of Snow Expo, the largest indoor show of its kind in Western Canada, will feature Ski-Doos, from early models up to current sleds and fresh from the BRP Race Shop a very unique hill climb racer. If yellow isn’t your favorite colour there will be lots of other brands on display.

TAKE ACTIONS FOR MEN’S HEALTH MEN’S HEALTH: FIVE GOOD PRACTICES TO ADOPT The Movember Foundation encourages men to attend to their health, not only this November, but throughout the year. Here are some of the best ways men can take care of themselves. 1. GET MOVING Regular physical exercise boosts your overall health and wards off a host of medical problems. So get active! Both low-intensity and high-intensity exercise offers an array of benefits; simply choose the type of sport or activity that suits you best. Yoga, hockey, running and swimming are among the many possibilities.
MOVEMBER
2. SPEAK UP When times are tough, many men suffer in silence. If you’re feeling anxious or down, talk with someone you can trust. Consider reaching out to a nonprofit organization, a counselling centre or a mental health service provider nearby. 3. GET INFORMED Know your family’s medical history: you’ll be able to adopt a lifestyle that keeps potential health problems at bay. In addition, this information will be invaluable to your doctor, as it will give him or her a more complete understanding of your health.

4. STAY CONNECTED Keep in touch with friends and family. This will help to stave off or combat mental health problems like depression and generalized anxiety disorder. 5. SEE A DOCTOR Don’t delay in attending to health concerns. If you have symptoms that are worrying you, visit your doctor right way. In the case of a serious illness, an early diagnosis can significantly increase your chances of making a full recovery.

The Town of Vegreville received notification from the Government of Alberta that the grant that funds the First Years Parent Link Centre Network and all other Parent Link Centres in Alberta, will end on March 31, 2020, and will not be renewed under the existing program guidelines. Members of the First Years Parent Link Centre Network who are affected include the Town of Vegreville, Lamont County, Two Hills, and the localities of Mannville, Minburn, and Innisfree. The Province’s decision comes after the Ministry of Children’s Services adopted the Well-Being and Resiliency Framework, which shifts their focus towards enhancing prevention and early intervention services for children, youth and families. This change presents an opportunity for the First Years Parent Link Centre Network to seek funding under the Province’s new framework. Members of Network see strength in their partnership and are in the process of preparing a joint proposal to the Province that will determine the future of Parent Link

Lance Corporal Duncan Carey
Vermilion’s Duncan and Pat Carey recently returned from a trip to France where they traced Duncan’s father’s steps through World War II. The interest developed when the Snelgrove family went over, and Pam and Cecil King called them from inside the Maison Blanche Cavern. She knew that Duncan’s father (Pte Duncan Carey) had been in the same Battalion and had enlisted the same day in Islay, Alberta as her great uncle Thomas Alban Snelgrove (who died at Vimy Ridge and his body was never found). Wanting to see it for themselves, they travelled with Scott and Bernie Webb. The plaque carved shows 1917 Canadian Scottish with nine names listed below including D. Darey with his enlistment number. “We actually walked the same ground that they fought on. We went down about 30 feet and the crest was high on the wall into the limestone. Bunks were three high, and we think whoever carved it had the top bunk,” said Duncan. He went on to explain why purple ink was used. Soldiers were given a waxed pencil so that when messengers were taking letters back, if they got wet, they wouldn’t blotch. The groups learned more about what he did each day from the Canadian War Diaries his war records show each time he was wounded. Pte Duncan Carey was housed in the Maison Blanche cavern on April 11, 1917 during the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The caverns were quarries left behind from people in the 15-1600s.
A close up on the the plaque showcasing Pte Duncan Carey.
The Vermilion Voice | November 19, 2019
According to Duncan, during the war, the Germans had previously occupied the territory but didn’t know about them, and the French Resistance showed the Canadians the tunnels. With nine hundred soldiers housed in the cavern, it was used as a staging area. From there they completed night time reconnaissance and work parties. They were thankful for their tour from David Hedges from England with the Durand group (involved with the discovery of the cavern and work around Vimy as volunteers who specialize in clearing mine fields). Pte Duncan Carey was born on July 13, 1890 in Ontario. He first homesteaded in 1913, and enlisted in 1916 (at 26 years old). Seven brothers came from Ontario to Islay, and his father didn’t want any of them to enlist. A letter to his sister in Winnipeg says, ‘Sorry to hear of our dad’s passing; I enlisted today.’ Pat Carey added that the 16th battalion trained all winter using their bayonets with bags training in trench warfare for the creeping barrage. Pte Duncan Carey was wounded on April 30, 1917 with a shrapnel wound to the right thigh. Duncan had only found his father’s letters within the past six months and felt that they answered a whole lot more questions.

16th Battalion Canadian Scottish L/Cpl Duncan Carey went to England for two weeks leave with a friend.
Hughie Randall, and the only piece they have left of his uniform is his sporran. “In a battalion there were four companies and each one with the Canadian Scottish had their own bagpiper. This proved to be useful because they could tell where their companies were even in the dark; each one playing a distinct piece. The kilts however got caught in the barbed wire fence and were not effective,” said Pat. Pte. Duncan Carey was hospitalized for a fever in April of 2018, and on August 28, 1918, he was promoted to Lance Corporal. He was awarded a military medal for his actions on October 1, 1918. A letter to his mother says he can finally sit up after being injured. “I was only 40 yards from Fritz when I got hit and when I was coming out he put a bullet through my steel helmet; missed my head by an inch. It was the worst scrap that I had for two years and I seen some dirty ones, but we sure put him on the run in the end,” said the late L/Cpl Duncan Carey in his letter. According to Duncan’s understanding, when they got close enough (40 yards) his dad crawled across to throw a grenade. On May 3, 1919 he got out of hospital
to come home to Canada with his Battalion, and he was discharged on May 14, in Edmonton; from there he went back to Islay. Pat and Duncan Carey visited the town they freed for occupation in October 1918 just prior to his injury at the end of the war. Duncan figures the cemeteries in France are like the oil wells here. “He never talked about it. I remember the scars on his back,” said Duncan. LCpl Duncan Carey had received a gunshot wound to the back that took out all of his back muscles. A letter to his mother states, “I was lucky; it missed my spine and lungs.” “I often say, ‘The courage of those people! He married my mom in the middle of the Great Depression; they were tough strong people.” Pat added that they were always so positive. “We would like to send sincere thanks to Scott and Bernie Webb for being so instrumental in the experience we were able to have. We appreciate all of their assistance in research, and driving; without them we never would have found all of the landmarks. Their passion for history is amazing.

Copper Cork Distillery – Now Open
Angela Mouly Reporter
People were lined up outside the door as the Copper Cork Distillery opened for business in Vermilion on November 14. Par tners Todd Ree, Rod Fadden, Randy Fadden, and Tom Hartwell were all pleased to see their project complete and hear the response from the community. The idea for the business began 18 months ago, and they broke ground one year ago. “The product seems to have a good response and we can keep making different flavours all the time,” said Rod Fadden. “ It ’s great to see the communit y show support for us. It’s very different because there aren’t many distilleries in this part of the world. We buy local

Jim and Marty Hines were named Cattlemen of the Year at the 2019 Lloydminster Stockade Roundup on November 1. The recognition at the annual event held special meaning as Jim’s uncle was the first ever recipient of the award. Nominated by the Lloydminster Exhibition Board, they received a plaque and had their photo placed on a wall with all of the previous recipients. The farm near Marwayne has been in the family since 1918; 101 years. They were told that it’s not the first time their names had been brought up and that they had been on the radar for a while. Jim and Marty Hines were selected for their outstanding contribution to the commercial cattle industry, their commitment to excellence, their ability to exemplify quality rural life, and their involvement in the community.

Visitors enjoyed tours of the facility and tasting spirits and liqueurs throughout the evening. They learned about what all goes into making the product and examined fermentation vessels named Gertie, Shirley, and Helen as well as the still named Nellie. “It seems to be quite well received. People love the bright, shiny equipment and appreciate learning about the process,” said. Ree. They are looking forward to hosting a grand opening in the future and are already booking Christmas parties.

That we are in a select group with people like Ernie Livingstone from Vermilion, Oscar Peterson from Marwayne, the Adamson’s from Makwa area, Les Mitchell from Kitscoty, and Jack Tingley from Lloydminster plus numerous others who have all been recognized for their hard work and dedication is an honour.

Agriculture Financial Services Corporation Ready To Help Alberta Producers Facing Difficult Times
Submitted Lacombe, AB, November 14, 2019 – Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) clients impacted by this year’s weather can depend on proven programs to help get them back on track. The 2019 season has not been easy for Alber ta producer s, as weather and other challenges have had a serious impact on operations throughout the province. With snow blanketing the province, and harvest considered finished—farmers face large amounts of potential unhar vested acres. In addition to reduced production levels, producers are concerned about potential feed quality, the increasing price of hay, getting products to market, and, in some cases, the stability of their overall farming operations. “Harvest 2019 has been tough for farmers. Trade disputes, bad weather and high input costs have added up to be a difficult year. With all the uncertainty, Alberta farmers can count on their government to find efficiencies and fund BRM programs, fight carbon taxes and promote free trade,” stated Agriculture and Forestry Minister Devin Dreeshen. With a full suite of Business Risk Management programs, AFSC is once again ready to support clients facing financial difficulties due to circumstances beyond their control. These programs are designed to compensate
for factors such as adverse weather, increasing costs and fluctuating markets. AFSC has a number of options available to help clients with cash flow challenges. This year, eligible clients can take advantage of a Post-Harvest Advance or a Preliminar y Payment, and receive a portion of their estimated claim as an early payment, within days of submitting a Harvested Production Report. AFSC has a long history of taking a client-friendly approach when their producers have trouble making scheduled loan payments. For clients facing financial strain caused by challenges this season, AFSC will consider deferring loan payments, on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, when harvest is delayed due to the onset of winter, AFSC will extend production insurance coverage to unharvested crops until the crop can be combined in the spring or managed by other means. Once again, to help with cash flow, clients with a substantial percentage of insured acres that remain unhar vested at the onset of winter may be eligible for an Unharvested Acreage Benefit through the annual production insurance program. For these and more options, c lients are enc ouraged to c ontac t their AFSC Relationship Manager or the AFSC Client Ser vice Centre at 1.877.899.2372, to discuss their indi-
vidual situation and options that might work for them. Beginning November 18, 2019, AFSC will host six Town Hall presentations at various locations throughout Alberta. Producers can learn more about the unharvested situation, ask questions and discuss this year’s challenges and options. AFSC CEO Steve Blakely understands the stress many producers feel these days, facing potentially signifi-
cant losses. “Our programs recognize producers can’t control the forces of nature, and they are designed to respond in situations like this. We are here to help—and ready to work with our clients to support them through this difficult time.” AFSC encourages those who may be struggling or need additional support to check out The Do More Agriculture Foundation website for a list of mental health and well-being resources.

Lee has been an award -winning E l v i s Tr i b u t e A r t i s t s i n c e 19 8 8 . But the path to paradise wasn’t always easy. Lee started his journey in Edmonton, Canada, where his mother first introduced him to Elvis’s music. After a Catholic nun taught Lee how to play guitar, he used what she taught him to start learning Elvis songs by ear. Lee started singing in lounges at 14, and went on to compete as an impersonator. He auditioned for “Elvis, Elvis, Elvis” which was touring through Canada. “I sent the promoter a very bad video and his exact words were, ‘We don’t have anybody else, so you’ll do,’ and I

Nine years later, with multiple shows under his belt, Lee finally won the title of top Elvis Tribute Artist in the world at a competition in Memphis, Tennessee. “The one in Memphis is cut-throat. There’s 397 guys who look just like you and you get 15 minutes and you’ve got to try to turn on the judges,” said Lee. Lee made history when he be c ame the fir st Canadian to win the competition on Aug 16, 1997– 20 years to the day that Elvis died. In 2000 Darren joined The American Superstars Show at the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino. He became the longest consecutive running Elvis Tribute Artist in Las Vegas history from 2000-2011.

A great big thank you goes out t o G a n t o n Pr e s byterian Church who donated $1105 to both our Breakfast and Hot Lunch programs, the Royal Canadian Legion who donated $200 to our Breakfast Program, and St. Saviour’s Anglican Church who donated $150 0 to our Hot Lunch Program. These generous donations will ensure that every student at VES has access to a hot nutritious meal regardless if they can pay. They need to be able to focus on schoolwork rather than growling tummies. VES staff and students are very appreciative of this support. As well, the Legion has donated $3000 to our school to purchase digital signage within the school. This will look like a TV monitor located near the front door that will be updated with upcoming events (similar to the ones you see at JR Robson). This is such an appreciated gesture. The provincial government announced that they would be continuing to fund breakfast grants as they did last year. As such, VES will receive approximately $29 000 to enhance the breakfast program. This was a very welcome announcement, as it allows for a more broad and extensive breakfast offering for every student on ever y sc hool day. The breakfast program is free and available to all students before the start of each school day. The Grade 3-5 Volleyball Club chal-
lenged the staff to a modified volleyball game at lunch on November 13. They played using one of the larger ‘ t r a i n e r ’ vo l l ey b a l l s a n d j u s t h a d students catch the ball. Students were allowed to serve from a line that was about halfway to the net from the original line. That game concluded the volleyball club season. Would you like to order Jaguar Spirit Wear? With Christmas coming up, that could make a great present for your child. Visit ves.entripyshops. c o m to s h o p a n d p l a c e a n o r d er. Orders will be shipped directly to you and 10 per cent of sales is donated back to the school. Please join us for the School Council AGM on November 18 at 7 p.m. in the VES Learning Commons. Child care will be provided in the gym. All parents are encouraged to attend. The Advisor y students have expressed an interest in hosting Family Nights at VES. Last year, students hosted a family game night that was a successful evening of connecting as a school community. This year’s event is planned for November 21. See you there. Once again this year, the Kindergarten students are teaming up with Grade 1 and 2 students to have their Christmas concer t in the Lakeland College Alumni Theatre on December 18 at 7 p.m. If you wish, you can watch them in advance on December 12 at 12:30 at VES or on December 18 at approximately 9:20 a.m. at the Lakeland College Alumni Theatre. The Grade 3-5 Christmas concert will
take place on December 19 at 7 p.m., also at the Lakeland College. Their dress rehearsals will be at the school on December 16 at 2:15 or on December 19 at approximately 9:20 a.m. at the Lakeland College Alumni Theatre.
