Andrew grad 2013 The End Is But A Beginning Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
Though the 2013 grad class of Andrew was small in numbers, their dreams and plans for the future were greatly visible. This year nine graduates were able to walk through the doors of their school for one of the last times on Saturday, June 22, and to truly begin the rest of their lives, moving along with their theme that “The end, is but a beginning.” The night's exercises were kicked off by an invocation by Father Benny Ambrosie, who told the students to remember what their own personal story is. He explained that without their story, they will have no way of knowing where you are going, or even when you get there. "Your life from now, today, will begin to tell your story," said Ambrosie. "As you begin to live your life your way, remember it can be a spiritual one" He left the grads with a Spanish blessing that translated to "from today, go with God." Trustee Colleen Lopushinsky explained to the graduates that their lives now were like open pages just waiting to be written. She said to the students that their grad was a beginning. “Absolutely it is an end to something,” she said. "I could tell you what it is an end to," but it is also the beginning of a new chapter for each of you. Lopushinskys message was one of optimism and new starts, but it was also one of perseverence. "Don’t give up until you are happy with how the chapter ends," rest assured though; she added, there will always be a new one waiting to be written. Elk Island Public Schools Superintendent Bruce Beliveau told the students how he saw in their faces the resiliency that would help create the future. Then he reminesced through the world events that had happened throughout the students’ lives. "Grads, you are much the product of resiliency," said Beliveau. He also added that in the grads, he saw the strength and hope that is our future. Sharon McLean then said a few words to the students about her experiences being the principal of the school and watching them grow from children to

Fenske also reminded the students to always This is especially true of the words "life is a gift." She stressed to the students that they needed to take the remember where they came from; to remember time to stop and appreciate the little gifts that life Andrew, as well as the fact that they are Albertans bestows upon us. "We must stop and enjoy the through and through. Fenske was also able to hand out the Premier’s moment." McLean spoke to each individual student with her Citizenship Award to class valedictorian Braydon favourite memories when teaching them, and Bryks, who told his fellow classmates to never reminded the students to always be true to them- believe the bar is set too high and embrace life for all selves.

The biggest risk something new, embrace the opportunity," he said. in life, added McLean “is not taking any.”

Bruderheim School receives a generous face lift Beautification project gives students hands on learning, and will help instill a strong sense of community pride. Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
Nadine Stielow of Thiel’s Greenhouses and Sven Danzinger of Bruderheim School have paired together to take on a project in beautifying the school for years to come. The project was started in the middle of June and is expected to take another two to three weeks depending on the weather. The plan is to replace the shrubs and existing plants with a whole new set of flowerbeds. Stielow and her crew have been busy recently with digging up the existing foliage and saving the plants that they could, and on June 20, students came out to give their assistance in placing the rock border that the plants will be contained in. “I drive by the school every day,” explains Stielow, “it just needed something.” So that being said, she approached Danzinger last year and began talking about the possibility of creating a nice space to enjoy. Both Stielow and Danzinger believe that the project will work well with ongoing Communities in Bloom initiatives. “This is one more thing that will make the school look better,” adds Danzinger.
Another benefit that will come from this project is the ability to get the students involved and learn from the experience of planting. It will coincide with both the grade four and five science curriculums, and will help them learn even more about plants and how they grow and change. “It’s a little different from growing the little bean plant,” says Danzinger. “I feel so blessed that she has taken this on,” he adds. “I firmly believe that pride in your community begins at a very young age,” states Stielow, who hopes that in having the students involvement in this project will help to truly instill that sense of pride in the students at the school. This is Stielow’s first big project in the town when it comes to designing and landscaping, and she has plenty of visions of what she hopes it will look like, such as incorporating the rainwater that runs off the roof of the school into the project itself, creating a dry river that will enhance the flower bed. “I love to plant, and I love to design things like this” “I’m very excited,” says Stielow. “I can’t wait to see it all come together.”

Small town grad ceremonies special I am sure most people who attend small town high schools don't think much about the personal touch they experience while in classes, let alone how special the attention is that each student receives during their graduation ceremonies. Whether there are a few dozen students like in Lamont or only nine like on Saturday in Andrew, the young people making their way into adulthood truly get honoured by their respective high schools; parents, teachers, relatives, friends and peers. Large schools in the city have so many students in each grade that when it comes to graduation exercises the honourees can feel quite unimportant comparatively. Often they are just one of sometimes hundreds being herded though the ceremony aimed almost solely at the popular and/or highest achieving pupils. The only moment many of the others have, is when it is their turn to be brought up to the stage to quickly accept their well-earned certificate and a handshake. Not so in small town Alberta, as students are honoured individually. The spotlight is shone on each one, and often there is a photo essay of each showing how they looked and how their personalities have changed throughout the years of growing up with one another in their rural community. Instead of those in the audience not knowing any, or very many of the other graduates, in our small towns the parents, grandparents and friends in attendance often know and remember all of these young people as theywere growing up. It is nice to see the adage of how it takes a community to raise a child actually come to fruition. Nowadays it is only in our small towns that this is even true. And it is during our graduation ceremonies that it becomes so wonderfully obvious. Kerry Anderson

Letter to the Editor Abandoned project leaves resident concerned In late 2005, a group of former students from Beaver Lake School District No. 222 in Lamont County organized and incorporated the Beaver Lake Cairn Historical Society as a charitable organization, for the sole purpose of erecting a school marker (cairn) in a rural area of the county recognizing where a one room school once existed. As a charitable organization (although no charity activity has ever taken place) the society was able to receive a government grant exceeding $27,000, as well as raise an enormous amount of money from many gen-

erous donors as funding for the project costs. The cairn project was completed at an unbelievable cost exceeding $50,000 with unveiling ceremonies held in September of 2006. More than 6 years has elapsed since completion of the cairn with no other work or activity taking place on the project or site. The society has become a "dead horse" with a large bank account still exsisting. As in the past, as well as today, there is neither intrest nor participation from the members. Only a handful of select individuals, basically executive and some board

members still attend the annual scheduled general meeting. Almost all executive and board positions are the same members carried over from year to year. There is no recruitment for new members to the society. Most members in the society as well as the executive and board members are getting on in age, some with health issues. A large amount of money remains in the society bank account. What will happen to the existing large society bank account? Some members fear and are concerned the money as well as other assets will

end up in someone's "pocket". As a former student of the school and as a member of the society, along with other members, request the society to take the appropriate steps to dissolve the society returning the money to the government (taxpayer).

341 Mundare Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets Mark 70 Years; End Training Year With Annual Ceremonial Review and Reunion The Air Cadets of 341 Mundare Squadron capped a busy and successful year of training with their Annual Ceremonial Review at Mundare School on Saturday, June 1st. The Parade Commander, Cadet Warrant Officer 1st Class Jordan Stefaniuk assisted by Cadet Warrant Officer 2nd Class Ashley Henderson had the Cadets fall in and well set up for the arrival of the Reviewing Party led by Major Joshua Kutryk. Major Kutryk, accompanied by Squadron Commanding Officer Captain Matthew Wells, was favourably impressed with the dress and drill demonstrated. Reviewing Officer Major Joshua Kutryk is a former 341 Squadron Air Cadet, who is currently serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). Major Kutryk served with the Squadron until 2000 when he was accepted to Royal Military College and graduated as an engineer in 2004. After completing primary flying training in 2003, basic flying training in 2005 and advanced flying training in 2006 he was selected to fly the CF-18 Hornet, Canada’s most advanced fighter aircraft. Posted to Bagotville, Quebec in 2007 as a member of 425 Tactical Fighter Squadron he flew missions in support of NATO and NORAD commitments throughout North America. In 2009 he served as an Air Liaison Officer with the Canadian Battle Group in Afghanistan and after his return in 2010 was deployed to Libya in 2011 where he flew airstrikes against pro-Gaddafi forces. On his return to Canada after that mission Major Kutryk was selected for Test Pilot training and attended Test Pilot School in Edwards, California. In July 2012 he received his promotion to Major and was posted to 4 Wing, Cold Lake, Alberta. He currently is with Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment flying as an experimental test pilot on the CF-18. Major Kutryk has logged over 2000 hours flying 30 types of aircraft. Major Kutryk and his brother Matthew, who also is serving as a pilot with the RCAF at 4 Wing, Cold Lake drove weekly from Beauvallon, a distance of over 100 kms each way to attend Cadet Parades as teenagers. During his time with the Air Cadets Major Kutryk was fortunate enough to attend several summer camps, including receiving powered flight training in 1999. He is one of several former 341 Squadron Air Cadets who are presently serving in the RCAF. Another former 341 Squadron Cadet present for the ceremony was recent Royal Military College graduate 2nd Lt. Brandon Philp of Vegreville just posted to 408 Squadron. Major Kutryk commended the Cadets on their dress and drill. He also spoke briefly, but sincerely, on the quality of young people the Cadet movement turns out; “You can always tell if a young person has Cadet background. They have an air of confidence and leadership skills that make them stand above their contemporaries.” As well as hearing from Major Kutryk the Air Cadets were addressed by the Air Cadet League North East Wing Director Mr. Leo Lammers. Among the large crowd of parents, grandparents and former Air Cadets were representatives of the Squadron sponsoring body Royal Canadian Legion Branch #39, Vegreville, President Ernie Sorochan and 1st Vice President Don Serediak, another 341 Squadron alumni. Mayor Mike Saric of Mundare and Deputy Mayor Natalia Toroshenko of Vegreville represented the home communities of many of the Cadets. The Review ceremony ended with the presentation of awards for past year achievements. Presentations were handled by Squadron Administration Officer Captain Anita Baudoux. Presenters included Captain Wells, Major Kutryk, 341 Squadron Training Officer Mr. A. J. Vogrinitz, Former Squadron Commanding Officer Chuck St. Clair, Mr. Don Serediak, Deputy Mayor Natalia Toroshenko, Mayor Mike Saric and Mr. Lammers. Continued on page 6

341 Mundare Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets Mark 70 Years; End Training Year With Annual Ceremonial Review and Reunion Continued from page 5 The Annual Ceremonial Review was followed by a windup dinner prepared by members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #39 Ladies Auxiliary and set out buffet style by Legion Branch members at the Mundare Hall. Eugene Pehowich of Vegreville along with Mike Dmytryk, still a Mundare resident, were the two original 341 Squadron Air Cadets at the event. Mr. Pehowich congratulated the current members of the Squadron on their performance and extended greetings on behalf of the three other original members who were not able to make the ceremony. Mr. Pehowich commented that the biggest change he noticed was that “in my day we didn’t have any girls”. Ken Cherniawsky, an Air Cadet from 1951 to 1958 reminisced about his days in the Squadron; “In those days we marched, then marched some more, that was what our training mainly consisted of. The highlight of the year was summer camp. I can remember trainloads of Air Cadets, as many as seven hundred, going to camps across Canada.
With every province we passed through we would pick up more.” The most competitive times at camp were the interprovincial sports playoffs. 341 Mundare Squadron always had players on those teams.” Mr. Cherniawsky reflected that he wished he was still an Air Cadet. Mr. Lammers provided background on the Air Cadet movement and said that the Air Cadet League in Alberta is now operating the most Squadrons it has ever had, 44. Cadet numbers are up overall in Alberta with the Air Cadet movement having almost half of all Cadets
in the program which includes Army and Sea Cadets. Youth are eligible from their 12th birthday to the day before their 19th birthday. He added that recent cuts of support from National Defense are making it ever harder to operate the program. Cadets have the opportunity to apply for a variety of summer camps with courses running from 2 to 6 weeks. Courses run from Orientation and Survival to Drill and Ceremonial, Leadership, Physical Education and Training, Rifle Coach and Instructors Course. There are 2 Cadet train-
ing locations in Alberta, Penhold and Cold Lake. At the National Level courses offered include gliding, powered flight and an International Exchange Program. This year alone, 28 Cadets will attend glider training, 26 will attend powered flight training and 8 have been selected for the International Exchange Program. Also offered at that level are Air Traffic Control and Senior Leaders courses. The Air Cadet League is currently actively recruiting potential leaders to accept uniformed officer positions with all Squadrons. Cadets eligible to

The much talked about cell tower has finally been put up beside the post office in Lamont. On Monday June 17, Workers could be seen on site. The tower is owned by Telus, and is going to provide added cell service to the community to be better compatible to the more advanced devices which use the LTE network for their high speed data. Originally, Telus had looked into the option of building the tower on the top of tall buildings, however, there were none that were found suitable.

Lamont resident’s lucky tickets give her wings across Canada Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
Christine Glasier didn’t even believe it herself. Christine was the lucky winner of the Alberta Society of Music Festival Friends raffle, and was definately surprised to hear that she had won two tickets to anywhere in the country Air Canada flies. She had originally got the call about two weeks ago she says, but at the time thought nothing of it. “I thought it was a telemarketer,” Glasier laughs, saying she really didn’t take it seriously when the phone call interupted a movie she was watching. Glasier adds that it wasn’t until the caller had asked to give all of her information to a travel agent that she actually backtracked and realized it wasn’t a hoax. The winning tickets had been sold to her at the Christmas in the Country craft market in St. Michael back in November by Evelyn Kucy. Glasier never usually bought the tickets in the past, but had happened to be with a friend that day who was buying them, and decided to get some herself. “I thought, oh what the heck, I’ll buy one, two dol-
lars won’t kill me.” Turns out, it was lucky she did. Glasier didn’t even remember buying the tickets when she was told that she had won, but sure enough, when she looked through her wallet, the stub from the ticket she had bought was still in there. Glasier, like most people, usually just hangs up when these sort of “telemarketers” call but luckily she says “this time I listened to her for a change.”
Her and her husband are still not entirely sure of where they are going to go with these newly acquired tickets, but they are currently bouncing around a couple of ideas such as to see friends in Ontario, or to take a trip up to the maritimes. As for whether or not she’ll be buying tickets next year, there is a pretty good chance she will.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), June 25, 2013- 13
Never believe the bar is too high for Andrew grads Valedictorian Braydon Bryks reminds students to always believe in themselves and to remember their dreams in their life Valedictorian Speech Braydon Bryks
This last week I was asked to deliver a speech as the valedictorian, it was a huge honor. There was just one thing, I sweat like a monkey in a sauna when it comes to giving formal speeches, and yes Ms. Sorotsky, that is a simile. English taught me how to use a monkey properly in a sentence. For the last couple of days I was surfing the internet trying to accumulate aspects from different speeches, some said to be funny, some said to be serious. I tried, and failed. The outcome turned out worse than Frankenstein and honestly it was pretty much an eye sore to look at and I did not want to put the audience and my grad class through such a horrific event. So I scratched the Frankenstein speech, worked diligently, hours
direction when determining their life course. I have witnessed firsthand and I know for a fact that each of these individuals in their own shape or form will achieve what they truly desire. Whether it be Blaine wanting to be an auctioneer, Tanner wanting to be a teacher, Zak wanting to join the armed forces, me wanting to be a Pokémon trainer, or anything any one of these individuals would like to do. The dedication that we have put forth in our high school experience will most certainly be put towards what we truly want out of life, and no bar will ever be set too high to overcome. All that we have, all that we will receive was not just set down for us. The parents that raised us, the friends we have and the teachers that helped us through school all assisted our metamorphosis into the young adults that we have
among hours, through sweat and tears, well...mostly tears and came up with what I think is gold. Dr. Seuss once said, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” Teachers, parents, special guests, friends, and of course, fellow graduates, good evening and we did it!! It is an honour to be valedictorian for the grad class of the 2012/2013 school year. The dedication put forth by each the graduates gave them a good opportunity to be standing where I am right now and giving the speech I am “speeching.” The dedication of each of these individuals will most certainly help guide them in the right
become and will support our growth into old members of society. Even long after high school the memories and knowledge we received will still be considered when making difficult life choices while we try furthering ourselves in humanity. No matter how far we get however, our parents, friends and teachers are all to thank and will forever hold a place in our hearts. Our teachers helped us
through this great journey of school, our friends helped us bare this long and boring journey, and our parents helped encourage us to do the best that we can and to believe that we are able to do anything that we put our minds to. Without any of these people, I do not think that this great journey would have been accomplished without an immense amount of difficulty.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), June 25, 2013- 15
Message to Andrew Grads from Valedictorian Braydon Bryks Cont’d from page 13 From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank everyone that helped accompany all of us on this fantastic voyage and will continue to help us, be it in person or through the memories in our hearts. It is hard to believe that we have spent the last twelve years of our lives in the same place and what we come out with will be forgotten in a week or so. I look around and I see all the teacher's faces drop, relax. Give it a month or so actually. Just kidding. The life lessons, experiences and the knowledge we received from the staff here at Andrew School will forever hold a space in our hearts as we take on the greatest
challenge, the path of life. I look at my fellow classmates and I just know that each of them, in one shape or another will contribute to and benefit society, in their own way. Although we are from such a small school, anything we put our minds to will most certainly present an opportunity for a better tomorrow for not only the people of Andrew, but for possibly the whole world. A little message from the heart, from me to my fellow graduates, do not ever think that the bar will ever be set too high. I know life can be intimidating and tedious at times, but do not forget to take into account that everything that our parents, friends and teachers have done for us through the years were not for
none. They were to get us ready for the long road ahead of us. Do not get scared of this long road, take it as a new challenge and embrace the opportunity for something new. When each of us walked through the doors at Andrew School for the first time, it was a new and scary experience but we did not give up on it. We took it as something new. Take life as something new. Embrace the opportunity. Take all that it has to give. Just do not be scared of it. We were readied for this opportunity; all we have to do is act upon it. Abraham Lincoln once said, “I will prepare and someday my chance will come�. And that is all we have to wait for: our chance. Thank you.
