For the Fallen They shall grow not old, as we that are left to grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Young and old honour veterans in Lamont Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
Lamont High School held its Remembrance Day Ceremonies Friday morning in the gymnasium, and gave both students and dignitaries an opportunity to show many different methods of rememberance with performances from different groups from both schools.
choir was the first to perform, singing the song “One Candle”. Immediately following the choir was Lamont High School Performing Arts class, with an interpretation of the song “If You’re Reading This” by Tim Mcgraw, and the Grade one class from the elementary school singing “See the
the world’s freedom. [It’s] also the Canadians that have served on peacekeeping, domestic, and international missions, and have been so lucky as to have been able to come home,” stated Master Corporal Steve Rasmussen. Rasmussen reminded students of all of the dif-
High school student Brittney Lopushinsky served as mistress of ceremonies. In attendance were members of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Legion Ladies Auxiliary, the Lamont Fire Department, and guest speaker Master Corporal Steven Rasmussen. Among the performers for the ceremony were the Lamont High School Band, the Lamont Elementary School Choir, the Lamont High School Performing Arts class, and the Lamont Elementary School Grade One class. The elementary school
others,” Rasmussen. “
Lamont Elementary School lay wreaths in memory of the fallen soldiers. Poppies”. “We are not only remembering the fierce battles Canadian soldiers and citizens have fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice for, for ours and
ferent wars Canada has taken part in, as well as all of the peacekeeping missions our soldiers have gone to help, and why it is so important that they as the new generation, take time to
remember and pay respect to those who gave so much.” Combined, these wars have taken over 240,674 Canadian lives, and have wounded over 100,895
added
As a veteran myself, I can not explain how much it means to me that these people have put it all on the line for generations that aren’t even thought of yet, without any hesitation.” As the ceremony closed, the wreaths were laid, and the students
were shown an educational video on the “Highway of Heroes” after the Last Post and Moment of Silence. Even as the honour guard and colour party retired, and the students returned to their respective schools and classrooms, students were reminded of the utmost importance of remembering the veterans and soldiers who gave so much.

Dogs With Wings program takes flight for students at Lamont Elementary School Only the best of the best go onto don the highly respected service jacket, and because of that, there will be plenty of top notch service to benefit each and everyone at the school in the months ahead.

They are leaders, pilots, and guardian angels. They are every day heroes that help dreams take flight. And they are Dogs With Wings, who have made their way to Lamont Elementary School. Several members of the Dogs With Wings, Assistance Dog Society, both the two and four legged kind were on hand to introduce themselves and a new pilot project to staff, students and parents recently. As the name reflects, the true meaning and intensive training the dogs must undergo in order to provide the highest level of guideance, security, freedom and companionship to those who need it the most. The organization was originally to assist blind and visually impaired people, and later expanded to assist the physically disabled. Today, these Dogs With Wings, have been specifically trained for children with autism. “The dogs will be visiting the school once a month to work with students in a specialized or an inclusive setting. Their involvement with each student would be dependent on the classroom and the teacher’s programming and expectations,” stated assistant principal Dave Armbruster. According to the assistance dog society, “Dogs and children who require additional support can develop a wonderful relationship leading to more independence and allowing the child to enjoy their surroundings with heightened safety and reduced stress.” The society’s mission is to foster, “independence and integration for people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support.” There is always a handler with the dogs, and the dogs will not approach students unless the handler gives them permission,” stressed Armbruster. Long before the dogs earn their wings, they must pass a series of aptitude tests and exhibit a very specific set of characteristics. The dogs are Labradors, either yellow or black and Labrador/Golden Retriever cross. “They must be calm, eager to please, affectionate, healthy, happy, intelligent, and so much more.

Important legislation for the area Bill 2, the Responsible Energy Development Act, has been introduced in the Alberta Legislature and I believe this is a very important piece of legislation for the people of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville. This Bill will create a new single energy regulator for the province. This is a commonsense, one-window approach that makes it easier for Albertans, landowners and industry to navigate the system. This is a significant change for our province. It was based on years of consultation, which allowed many Albertans and stakeholders to provide input into building the legislation. We heard from Albertans across the province that the new regulator needs to be efficient and effective for landowners. Bill 2 has a number of important provisions that will help landowners, and in fact improve their participation compared to the current system. The new regulator will be required to provide Albertans with public notice about all applications. Under the current system, some applications are considered without notice. Another significant improvement for landowners is that every potentially affected Albertan can submit a statement of concern to the regulator if they believe they are directly and adversely affected. Based on the extensive consultation process for this Bill, we heard that landowners can be frustrated when industry is not living up to its end of the deal. The Bill allows landowners the choice to register private surface agreements, which can then be enforced by the regulator. This provides landowners with a new and enhanced way to protect their interests. Finally, I know how important it is for Albertans to have a strong appeal mechanism. The new energy regulator will have independent hearing commissioners to handle appeals, plus it will also have an alternative dispute process. At its core, Bill 2 is about striking the balance between energy development, landowner rights and protecting the environment. I am confident we have found that balance. We would be happy to provide more information, please contact our offices. Thank you, Offices of Jacquie Fenske MLA Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville

Letter to the Editor Chinese agreement ‘bad deal’ for Canadians Have you heard about the Chinese/Canadian Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement? If your answer is no, I am not surprised. Even though Prime Minister Harper could ratify this secretive deal any day, there has been no real debate in Parliament, no vote, and no reports on the risks. If you remember, there was a whole election fought over NAFTA. If this is such a good deal, why does our
Kerry Anderson Publisher
Conservative government not want us to hear about it? This agreement would bind Canada for 31 years and allow foreign Chinese corporations to sue our government for huge amounts of money if we do anything to limit the corporationís perceived profits (such as enact environmental standards to protect our drinking water). Worse yet, these lawsuits will be decided by unaccountable arbitrators in secret tribunals
Michelle Pinon Editor
outside of Canada’s court system (unlike all other international treaties). There ís only one sure way Canadians will find out about the lawsuits and that is when we Canadian citizens have to pay millions (or billions) of dollars in compensation to foreign corporations. I think you will agree that FIPPA is a very good deal for Chinese corporations, but a very bad deal for Canadians. I urge you to think

Andrew student shares grandfather’s story Polish boy abducted from family home to live as prisoner of war in concentration camp “Let me tell you a story about a young teenage boy who lived in Warsaw, Poland during World War II. Sitting in his home with his sister and mom, a bunch of Nazi soldiers burst into their home. They were taken to a big area filled with other people that were taken from their home. While in this area, they were separated into groups, women/girls, and men/boys. While in their groups, they were separated into groups, people who they thought would be able to make the journey to the concentration camp and others who were weak. The young boy had been taken away from his family and faced the horrors of the concentration camp. No one can imagine what the people had to go through in those camps. My Gido sometimes told stories but it was
very rare because of the painful memories.The Americans, Canadian
group of prisoners, which my Gido was in, was walking to the gas
Grade 12 student Braydon Bryks and British soldiers came into these countries to save the people from the terrifying invasion. When the Nazi soldiers heard about the soldiers coming they were ordered to separate the prisoners of war into groups. While the last
chambers to their death, the American soldiers came in to save them. It was a day to remember for the people that were saved but a sad day to how many people died for being a different race and religion. I would like us to remember the peo-
ple who fought in the past and now fighting for people’s rights and freedom. So when you stand in the morning for O’ Canada, stand up proud for the country where we have rights, freedom and choices. Just remember, there are countries today, where people are scared for their lives, where they do not have rights and freedom, where if they said a word against their country, they would be shot no matter what their age is. To let you know what happened to that boy. He moved to Canada to start anew life for himself and have a better life for his kids. He married a woman from this area and bought a farm where he raised his four kids. He worked really hard to give his children, grandchildren, and future generations a better life. My name is Braydon Bryks, and this was my Gido’s life. (Janusz
Kucharski otherwise known as John). Also when my mom was 13, my Gido finally found his mom and sister. His sister came for a visit but his mom passed away before the trip. So when you go home, talk to your great grandpar-
ents, grandparents, parents, uncles, or aunts. Learn about your family history and you would be amazed by the stories, good or bad, of their childhood. Appreciate your family and country we live in.�

Lamont Curling Club sliding into its 32nd consecutive season Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
The Lamont Curling Club has officially opened for its 32nd consecutive season. Among the people excited to get the new season underway is curling club executive member Gerald M a s c h m e y e r . He has been curling for most of his life, and has been with the club regularly since they started playing in the new rink when it opened in 1980. Prior to that, the curling club used to practice in the seniors drop in centre, but moved when the new rink opened as it had a lot more space and potential for growth. The curling club currently has four different leagues that each play on a different day of the week. The club holds a junior league on Monday nights, a mens league on Wednesday's, a recreational league on Fridays, and the superleage plays on Thursday nights until Christmas. The superleague is a league that started 20 years ago, as a way for players to tune up and practice before taking part in zones and other competitions that take place throughout the season. It is unique because it is a much more competitive than all of the other leagues. Maschmeyer explains

that it is very important to him and the rest of the curlers that the atmosphere for both practices and bonspiels is completely relaxed. "It is really a chance for old friends and new friends to get together, have a good time, and have a chance to socialize." It is this unique atmosphere that Maschmeyer believes will be the best thing in getting new people out to the club to either take part or have some fun watching people in friendly competition. "The big thing for me over the years has been meeting all of the people who come out making some new friends and connections through curling. There are a lot of good people that come out with us." Maschmeyer organizes many different bonspiels throughout the season including the Farmers Bonspiel in January, the Mens Bonspiel in February, the ladies "Think Pink" bonspiel in march, and the final bonspiel of the season, the Last Chance bonspiel that will take place in april. Maschmeyer is excited to get everything in place for this years Last
Chance Bonspiel, as it is the 25th aniversary of the event, and there are a lot of new things to organize. The Last Chance Bonspiel will be unique because of its popularity, and Maschmeyer is expecting a great turnout both for competitors and spectators. "We hope to bring something new into the community, and make it something people will really talk about." Among the regular activities for the bonspiel, Maschmeyer also hopes to be able to have a celebrity game during the tournament, with some of the more well known curlers, as well as some that are well known by many people right here in town. "There will be lots of people who haven’t been to Lamont before, as well as some people who just havent been back to Lamont in a while." The Last Chance Bonspiel has often had a variety of people from all over Alberta who come to take part. One of the main difficulties of operating in such a small town has been with obtaining money to pay to keep the facilities open. “We are completely run by vol-

unteers, and it is a constant struggle to keep these buildings running.” While the club does generate some income from hosting the bonspiels, they also have to do a lot of fundraising throughout the year.
Their main fundraising coming from the raffles they hold as well as a casino that helps bring a little bit of funds. However, as this year’s curling season starts up, Maschmeyer encourages anyone who has thought
about joining the curling club, to come out and give it a try. New curlers are always welcome to come out and either participate or sit and watch a game.

Operation Red Nose kicks off holiday season campaign Volunteers needed for safe rides On Nov. 5th, the Rotary Club of Fort Saskatchewan held a kickoff luncheon for Operation Red Nose, 2012. Representatives from many of the organizations that support the Rotary Club for the work they do with Operation Red Nose gathered at the Lakeview Inn & Suites for a soup and sandwich lunch, conversation and the signing of the official proclamation by Fort Saskatchewan Mayor Gale Katchur. Operation Red Nose is entering its 6th season in the Fort Saskatchewan area and representatives from the local RCMP Detachment, the Fire Department, Prairie EMS and the Chamber of Commerce gathered with members of the Rotary Club, other volunteers and the press to celebrate the start of another season. Operation Red Nose is a program that works to get seasonal partygoers and the vehicles home safely. The rides are free but folks often give donations, 100% of which go to support kids programs in our local area. Over the years, this money has gone to breakfast programs, sports teams, upgrades to bleachers, and a host of other things in the Fort Saskatchewan area. This Christmas season, Operation Red Nose will again be headquartered in the Lakeview Inn & Suites. Hours of operation are from 9 p.m.until 3 a.m. on the following evenings: November 30, December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 and 31. Rides can be booked by calling (780) 999-7567. We are always looking for volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, please go to the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment, at 9901-90
Street and fill out the required forms. The RCMP provides this service to Operation Red Nose free of charge as part of their effort to support Operation Red Nose.

Hands on experience builds confidence and fosters leadership skills for Mundare youth Michelle Pinon Editor
“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” Those were the words of John F. Kennedy, and they also apply to teachers and students at Mundare School who host and participate in a two day leadership camp every fall. “This is the fifth year that the school has done the trip,” said junior high teacher Jason Lafrance. Grade 7 and Grade 8 students head up to Belle Vue near St. Paul to build relationships and plan out major school events for the coming year. “These events included a Christmas food drive, fundraisers for the Grade 8 farewell ceremony, some ideas for student leadership and fundraising and planning for the year end outdoor education trip in June.” Jamie Perlik, Kassidy Iwaskow, Leo Chow, Skylar Shelton, and Savannah Rozumniak all had fun working and learning together during the event which featured rock climbing, canoeing, night games, and planning sessions. They are hyped up about the food drive, and say the winning class will earn a pizza party and movie. School Spirit Days will be eventful and fun as well. They are helping to organize intramurals, and other activities this school year, and couldn’t be more excited. Library technician Sian Vadnais said students love the fact that they get to experience camping together and spending the night in cabins. “Some of them have never experienced a camp of any kind so this is
wonderful and new to them.” The students even planned the menu for the trip and were assigned food items to bring. “So a lot of responsibility right there as well as the fact that teams were expected to prepare, cook, serve, and clean up their own meal.” Vadnais added that: “A willingness to learn, stepping into leadership roles, and team effort all came into play at the retreat. “The staff and adult supervisors learn a great deal about their students during this camp and see them mature a little over the 36 hours they are there.” “I think the families of the students and the community as a whole are affected both directly and indirectly by the increase in willingness to step up and volunteer, to try something new, to initiate projects and follow through and to reach out and make a friend where there might not have been one before.” The leadership camp was originally designed to get student input as to what things they were looking to get out of their school experience, said Lafrance. “It was incredibly successful and we continued it the following year. The following year we noticed that after the trip, the relationships between the Grade 7 and 8 students really developed during the trip, and it completely changed the junior high atmosphere in the school. We have continued the trip ever since and we have seen incredible things happen during these few days.” As John Quincy Adams once said: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”

Lamont residents attend ceremony Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
Remembrance Day is meant to be about the sacrifices those who have served our country have made. Not only the sacrifices of the soldiers themselves, but also the sacrifices made by their families and loved ones. It was to remember these sacrifices that a Remembrance Day Ceremony this past Sunday at the Lamont Recreation Centre. Over the duration of the ceremony, members of the audience were able to hear from a variety of different speakers and hear some very well known pieces of literature surrounding our veterans both in the past and the present. Along with the readings, David Stahl was there to lead the audience in the singing of multiple hymns, as well as the singing of O' Canada. Among the speakers for the morning ceremony were; Pastor Ron Wurtz, Fred Pewarchuk, Mae Adamyk, and Reverend Debbie Brill, as well as Stephanie Taylor singing "Dear Hearts and Gentle People", Harrison Zabel offering a prayer to the soldiers, and Rebecca Zachoda reading "In Flanders Fields". "Our thoughts this morning are for the men and women who are sta-
tioned in far away places. Our thoughts this morning are for those men and women who have given their lives that we may experience peace," stated Pastor Ron Wurtz as he encouraged the audience to clear their minds and think about why they were truly here, and try to forget about the hassel of outside life for a bit. As the singing of O' Canada came to a close, Harrison Zabel came forward to offer a prayer to the soldiers who have and still are serving our country. Zabel asked that these men and women be always remembered and honoured in our lives for the services that have made us as a country so very proud. "According to Websters Dictionary, sacrifice, as a verb means to surrender, give up, or permit injury or disadvantage for the sake of something else," said Reverend Debbie Brill, as she told the audience of a woman who gave everything she had, as opposed to those who gave out of abundance. "These brave men and women willingly sacrificed for the sake of something else in order that you and I can go to bed at night, assured of the freedoms and peace that we enjoy here in Canada," added Brill.

The third annual Christmas in the Country is set to take place Nov. 17th. With over 50 vendors scheduled to be setting up shop in the St. Michael Rec. Centre, and activities for everyone in the family. The event boasts a chance for parents to get a start on their christmas shopping, while still having a place to let their children be creative and have fun. Co-organizer Joanne Paltzat encourages people to come out and see what this year has to “The money we receive is donated or given back
to the community,” says Paltzat, with money raised previously having been given to the schools, fire departments, and the local food bank. Although the event is only in its third year of operation, it has already been able to grow immensely, with last year’s event seeing more than 400 people walk through the doors. There is plenty to keep everyone in the family busy, Paltzat explains that probably the most attractive aspect of the event is the atmosphere. “Being out in the country, where you don’t have to fight the hassel, its a safe environment for everyone.”
asked to take their moment of silence, as everyone in attendance stopped to remember those who had in fact sacrificed so much for the country. "We pray for those who continue to put themselves in harm's way in order that peace and harmony might be acheived," Brill stated in her closing prayer. As the wreaths were prepared to be laid, the audience bowed their heads in respect as the names of the fallen were read. After the wreaths had all been placed, the audience was served a lunch of sandwiches, finger foods, and cake during fellowship after the service.

Andrew FCSS offers several programs for local residents Michelle Pinon Editor
Elke Carr has been quite busy over the past couple of months in Andrew. Carr, director for Family and Community Support Services, has organized several different programs for residents of all ages to enjoy. Tuesday mornings are reserved for the Mom’s and Tot’s Program at the FCSS office located in the Andrew Lions building on main street. Carr says the program is always well attended, and left in the capable hands of facilitator Nicole Shedly. “It is so good to see these new moms as well as seasoned ones come together and share experiences,” adds Carr. Wednesday mornings
are set aside for the Idea Exchange Program. “It is so well attended, that often we have to add another table to accommodate everyone,” says Carr. “Since this is the month of prevention of violence in the home, as well as fall prevention month, we have a lot of subjects to discuss.” The drop-in walking program is held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 9-10 a.m. at the seniors centre. Carr is also planning a bus trip to the Provincial Museum on Nov. 28th. “There is still room, so any senior who would like to have an outing is more than welcome to give me a call here at the office Tuesday or Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at 780365-3774.

Trade agreement with European Union to benefit Canadians - Beniot Leon Benoit, Member of Parliament for Vegreville-Wainwright recently highlighted the benefits that a potential trade agreement with the European Union would bring to every region of the country, including jobs, growth and long-
term prosperity to the people of this constituency. “An ambitious agreement with the European Union would be a big win for workers, businesses and families right here in VegrevilleWa i n w r i g h t , ” s a i d
Benoit. “Throughout the province, hard-working Albertans will benefit, especially in key sectors of the local economy such as agriculture,
wood and wood products and services. “More than 60 per cent of Canada’s annual income (gross domestic product) and the jobs of one in five Canadians are
generated by trade,” said the Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway. “That is why our government is undertaking the
