Andrew Graduation - Pg. 8 & 9

Jazmine InksterStudent Reporter

Though the 2013 grad class of Andrew was smallin numbers, their dreams and plans for the futurewere greatly visible.

This year nine graduates were able to walkthrough the doors of their school for one of the lasttimes on Saturday, June 22, and to truly begin the restof their lives, moving along with their theme that“The end, is but a beginning.”

The night's exercises were kicked off by an invoca-tion by Father Benny Ambrosie, who told the stu-dents to remember what their own personal story is.He explained that without their story, they will haveno way of knowing where you are going, or evenwhen you get there. "Your life from now, today, willbegin to tell your story," said Ambrosie. "As youbegin to live your life your way, remember it can be aspiritual one" He left the grads with a Spanish bless-ing that translated to "from today, go with God."

Trustee Colleen Lopushinsky explained to thegraduates that their lives now were like open pagesjust waiting to be written. She said to the studentsthat their grad was a beginning. “Absolutely it is anend to something,” she said. "I could tell you what itis an end to," but it is also the beginning of a newchapter for each of you. Lopushinskys message wasone of optimism and new starts, but it was also oneof perseverence. "Don’t give up until you are happywith how the chapter ends," rest assured though; sheadded, there will always be a new one waiting to bewritten.

Elk Island Public Schools Superintendent BruceBeliveau told the students how he saw in their facesthe resiliency that would help create the future. Thenhe reminesced through the world events that hadhappened throughout the students’ lives. "Grads,you are much the product of resiliency," saidBeliveau. He also added that in the grads, he saw thestrength and hope that is our future.

Sharon McLean then said a few words to the stu-dents about her experiences being the principal of theschool and watching them grow from children to

adults. She explained how much of an emotionaltime this was for her, considering the first class thatshe had taught had graduated just a couple of weeksago. "We don’t often stop and give in words therespect and attention they deserve," added McLean.This is especially true of the words "life is a gift." Shestressed to the students that they needed to take thetime to stop and appreciate the little gifts that lifebestows upon us. "We must stop and enjoy themoment."

McLean spoke to each individual student with herfavourite memories when teaching them, andreminded the students to always be true to them-selves. "What sometimes holds us back in life is fear,which keeps us in our comfort zone." The biggest riskin life, added McLean “is not taking any.”

MLA Jacquie Fenske took time to tell the studentsto live their lives wholeheartedly, and to remember toreflect on their accomplishments. "When you dosomething, do it with all your might," added Fenske."Stamp it with your personality."

Fenske also reminded the students to alwaysremember where they came from; to rememberAndrew, as well as the fact that they are Albertansthrough and through.

Fenske was also able to hand out the Premier’sCitizenship Award to class valedictorian BraydonBryks, who told his fellow classmates to neverbelieve the bar is set too high and embrace life for allit has to offer.

"Do not be afraid of this long road. Take life assomething new, embrace the opportunity," he said.

Nadine Stielow ofThiel’s Greenhouses andSven Danzinger ofBruderheim School havepaired together to takeon a project in beautify-ing the school for yearsto come. The project wasstarted in the middle ofJune and is expected totake another two to threeweeks depending on theweather.

The plan is to replacethe shrubs and existingplants with a whole newset of flowerbeds.Stielow and her crewhave been busy recentlywith digging up theexisting foliage and sav-ing the plants that theycould, and on June 20,students came out togive their assistance inplacing the rock borderthat the plants will becontained in.

“I drive by the schoolevery day,” explainsStielow, “it just neededsomething.” So thatbeing said, sheapproached Danzingerlast year and began talk-ing about the possibilityof creating a nice space toenjoy. Both Stielow andDanzinger believe thatthe project will workwell with ongoingCommunities in Bloominitiatives. “This is onemore thing that willmake the school look bet-ter,” adds Danzinger.

Another benefit thatwill come from this proj-ect is the ability to get thestudents involved andlearn from the experi-ence of planting. It willcoincide with both thegrade four and five sci-ence curriculums, andwill help them learn evenmore about plants andhow they grow andchange. “It’s a little dif-ferent from growing thelittle bean plant,” saysDanzinger.

“I feel so blessed thatshe has taken this on,” headds.

“I firmly believe thatpride in your communitybegins at a very youngage,” states Stielow, whohopes that in having thestudents involvement inthis project will help totruly instill that sense ofpride in the students atthe school.

This is Stielow’s firstbig project in the townwhen it comes to design-ing and landscaping, andshe has plenty of visionsof what she hopes it willlook like, such as incor-porating the rainwaterthat runs off the roof ofthe school into the proj-ect itself, creating a dryriver that will enhancethe flower bed. “I love toplant, and I love todesign things like this”

“I’m very excited,”says Stielow. “I can’t waitto see it all come togeth-er.”

Nadine Stielow and her crew from Thiel’s Greenhouses were hard at work last week breaking ground for theproject, digging up the existing shrubs and saving the existing plants.

In late 2005, a group offormer students fromBeaver Lake SchoolDistrict No. 222 inLamont County organ-ized and incorporatedthe Beaver Lake CairnHistorical Society as acharitable organization,for the sole purpose oferecting a school marker(cairn) in a rural area ofthe county recognizingwhere a one room schoolonce existed. As a chari-table organization(although no charityactivity has ever takenplace) the society wasable to receive a govern-ment grant exceeding$27,000, as well as raisean enormous amount ofmoney from many gen-

erous donors as fundingfor the project costs. Thecairn project was com-pleted at an unbelievablecost exceeding $50,000with unveiling cere-monies held inSeptember of 2006.

More than 6 years haselapsed since completionof the cairn with no otherwork or activity takingplace on the project orsite. The society hasbecome a "dead horse"with a large bankaccount still exsisting. Asin the past, as well astoday, there is neitherintrest nor participationfrom the members. Onlya handful of select indi-viduals, basically execu-tive and some board

members still attend theannual scheduled gener-al meeting. Almost allexecutive and boardpositions are the samemembers carried overfrom year to year. Thereis no recruitment for newmembers to the society.Most members in thesociety as well as theexecutive and boardmembers are getting onin age, some with healthissues.

A large amount ofmoney remains in thesociety bank account.What will happen to theexisting large societybank account? Somemembers fear and areconcerned the money aswell as other assets will

end up in someone's"pocket". As a formerstudent of the school andas a member of the socie-ty, along with othermembers, request thesociety to take the appro-priate steps to dissolvethe society returning themoney to the govern-ment (taxpayer). Basedon the amount of dona-tions recieved, the grantwas neither a necessitynor a requirment.

I am sure most people who attend smalltown high schools don't think muchabout the personal touch they experiencewhile in classes, let alone how special theattention is that each student receivesduring their graduation ceremonies.

Whether there are a few dozen studentslike in Lamont or only nine like onSaturday in Andrew, the young peoplemaking their way into adulthood trulyget honoured by their respective highschools; parents, teachers, relatives,friends and peers.

Large schools in the city have so manystudents in each grade that when itcomes to graduation exercises the hon-ourees can feel quite unimportant com-paratively. Often they are just one ofsometimes hundreds being herdedthough the ceremony aimed almost sole-ly at the popular and/or highest achiev-ing pupils. The only moment many of theothers have, is when it is their turn to bebrought up to the stage to quickly accepttheir well-earned certificate and a hand-shake.

Not so in small town Alberta, as stu-dents are honoured individually. Thespotlight is shone on each one, and oftenthere is a photo essay of each showinghow they looked and how their personal-ities have changed throughout the yearsof growing up with one another in theirrural community.

Instead of those in the audience notknowing any, or very many of the othergraduates, in our small towns the par-ents, grandparents and friends in atten-dance often know and remember all ofthese young people as theywere growingup.

It is nice to see the adage of how it takesa community to raise a child actuallycome to fruition. Nowadays it is only inour small towns that this is even true.And it is during our graduation cere-monies that it becomes so wonderfullyobvious.Kerry Anderson

Major Kutryk commended the Cadets on theirdress and drill. He also spoke briefly, but sincerely, onthe quality of young people the Cadet movementturns out; “You can always tell if a young person hasCadet background. They have an air of confidenceand leadership skills that make them stand abovetheir contemporaries.” As well as hearing from MajorKutryk the Air Cadets were addressed by the AirCadet League North East Wing Director Mr. LeoLammers.

Among the large crowd of parents, grandparentsand former Air Cadets were representatives of theSquadron sponsoring body Royal Canadian LegionBranch #39, Vegreville, President Ernie Sorochan and1st Vice President Don Serediak, another 341Squadron alumni.

The AnnualCeremonial Review wasfollowed by a windupdinner prepared bymembers of RoyalCanadian Legion Branch#39 Ladies Auxiliary andset out buffet style byLegion Branch membersat the Mundare Hall.

Eugene Pehowich ofVegreville along withMike Dmytryk, still aMundare resident, werethe two original 341Squadron Air Cadets atthe event. Mr. Pehowichcongratulated the cur-rent members of theSquadron on their per-formance and extendedgreetings on behalf of thethree other originalmembers who were notable to make the ceremo-ny. Mr. Pehowich com-mented that the biggestchange he noticed wasthat “in my day we did-n’t have any girls”.

Ken Cherniawsky, anAir Cadet from 1951 to1958 reminisced abouthis days in the Squadron;“In those days wemarched, then marchedsome more, that waswhat our training mainlyconsisted of. The high-light of the year wassummer camp. I canremember trainloads ofAir Cadets, as many asseven hundred, going tocamps across Canada.

With every province wepassed through wewould pick up more.”The most competitivetimes at camp were theinterprovincial sportsplayoffs. 341 MundareSquadron always hadplayers on those teams.”Mr. Cherniawsky reflect-ed that he wished he wasstill an Air Cadet.

Mr. Lammers providedbackground on the AirCadet movement andsaid that the Air CadetLeague in Alberta is nowoperating the mostSquadrons it has everhad, 44. Cadet numbersare up overall in Albertawith the Air Cadetmovement havingalmost half of all Cadets

in the program whichincludes Army and SeaCadets. Youth are eligi-ble from their 12th birth-day to the day beforetheir 19th birthday. Headded that recent cuts ofsupport from NationalDefense are making itever harder to operatethe program.

When Lamont isn't Lamont; and theLamont Leader isn't the Lamont LeaderKERRY ANDERSONPublisher

At the Lamont Leaderwe get phone calls sever-al times each year andemails moreregularly thanthat, from peo-ple looking forsomeone inLamont or try-ing to contactthe LamontLeader. But wecan't help them.

Why? What isthe difficulty?

Well, they areactually lookingfor someone in Lamont,Iowa or that town'snewspaper - the LamontLeader.

Those people lookingfor Lamont, Iowa butwho have contacted us inLamont, Alberta by mis-take, have actuallyhooked up with someonein a much larger metrop-olis than they wereintending.

A little research on thispoor little place (north-east of state capital DesMoines) with the shrink-ing population, maymake you much moregrateful to be in Lamont,Alberta and not in "TheWest Gateway toBackbone State Park."

Lamont, Iowa is a"city" of only 460 peopledepending on what dayyou check, and five ofthose people are report-edly on the registered sex

offender list. The majori-ty of Lamont, Iowa's citi-zens work in the manu-facturing and construc-tion industry.

Lamont is located on

1.5 sq. km of land in thenorth-east corner of thecentral US state of Iowa.

The city made thenews only five years agowhen a storm hit Lamontand dumped an incredi-ble seven inches of rainin one hour, flooding outvirtually every basement- some 200 of them. Mostof the victims of the floodwere without insuranceand that could partlyaccount for the munici-pality's eight per centdrop in population sincethe turn of the millenni-um.

In 2012 the averagehome in Lamont, Iowawas selling for merely$65,000.

Lamont has almostdouble the probability ofhaving a tornado as mostparts of the State of Iowa.In 1968 an F5 with winds260 km/hr landed 25 km

away from the city butstill killed five people.

The city has fourchurches and one bank,with a 98.3 per centwhite population.

Members of public works were busy on June 17, get-ting a start on filling some of the potholes aroundLamont.



Christine Glasier didn’t even believe it herself.Christine was the lucky winner of the Alberta

Society of Music Festival Friends raffle, and was defi-nately surprised to hear that she had won two ticketsto anywhere in the country Air Canada flies.

She had originally got the call about two weeks agoshe says, but at the time thought nothing of it. “Ithought it was a telemarketer,” Glasier laughs, sayingshe really didn’t take it seriously when the phone callinterupted a movie she was watching. Glasier addsthat it wasn’t until the caller had asked to give all ofher information to a travel agent that she actuallybacktracked and realized it wasn’t a hoax.

The winning tickets had been sold to her at theChristmas in the Country craft market in St. Michaelback in November by Evelyn Kucy. Glasier neverusually bought the tickets in the past, but had hap-pened to be with a friend that day who was buyingthem, 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 ticketswhen she was told that she had won, but sureenough, when she looked through her wallet, thestub from the ticket she had bought was still in there.

Glasier, like most people, usually just hangs upwhen these sort of “telemarketers” call but luckilyshe says “this time I listened to her for a change.”

Her and her husband are still not entirely sure ofwhere they are going to go with these newly acquiredtickets, but they are currently bouncing around acouple of ideas such as to see friends in Ontario, or totake a trip up to the maritimes.

As for whether or not she’ll be buying tickets nextyear, there is a pretty good chance she will.

Valedictorian Speech Braydon Bryks

This last week I wasasked to deliver a speechas the valedictorian, itwas a huge honor. Therewas just one thing, Isweat like a monkey in asauna when it comes togiving formal speeches,and yes Ms. Sorotsky,that is a simile. Englishtaught me how to use amonkey properly in asentence.

For the last couple ofdays I was surfing theinternet trying to accu-mulate aspects from dif-ferent speeches, somesaid to be funny, somesaid to be serious. I tried,and failed.

The outcome turnedout worse thanFrankenstein and hon-estly it was pretty muchan eye sore to look at andI did not want to put theaudience and my gradclass through such a hor-rific event.

So I scratched theFrankenstein speech,worked diligently, hours

among hours, throughsweat and tears,well...mostly tears andcame up with what Ithink is gold.

Dr. Seuss once said,“You have brains in yourhead. You have feet inyour shoes. You can steeryourself any directionyou choose. You're onyour own. And youknow what you know.And YOU are the onewho'll decide where togo...”

Teachers, parents, spe-cial guests, friends, andof course, fellow gradu-ates, good evening andwe did it!!

It is an honour to bevaledictorian for thegrad class of the2012/2013 school year.The dedication put forthby each the graduatesgave them a good oppor-tunity to be standingwhere I am right nowand giving the speech Iam “speeching.”

The dedication of eachof these individuals willmost certainly helpguide them in the right

direction when deter-mining their life course. Ihave witnessed first-hand and I know for afact that each of theseindividuals in their ownshape or form willachieve what they trulydesire. Whether it beBlaine wanting to be anauctioneer, Tanner want-ing to be a teacher, Zakwanting to join thearmed forces, me want-ing to be a Pokémontrainer, or anything anyone of these individualswould like to do.

The dedication that wehave put forth in ourhigh school experiencewill most certainly beput towards what wetruly want out of life,and no bar will ever beset too high to overcome.

All that we have, allthat we will receive wasnot just set down for us.The parents that raisedus, the friends we haveand the teachers thathelped us through schoolall assisted our metamor-phosis into the youngadults that we have

become and will supportour growth into oldmembers of society.

Even long after highschool the memories andknowledge we receivedwill still be consideredwhen making difficultlife choices while we tryfurthering ourselves inhumanity. No matterhow far we get however,our parents, friends andteachers are all to thankand will forever hold aplace in our hearts.

Our teachers helped us

through this great jour-ney of school, our friendshelped us bare this longand boring journey, andour parents helpedencourage us to do thebest that we can and tobelieve that we are ableto do anything that weput our minds to.

Without any of thesepeople, I do not thinkthat this great journeywould have been accom-plished without animmense amount of dif-ficulty.

SUBMITTED PHOTOJana Dahl shows where a tree was recently struck by lightning on Main Street,Andrew. Pieces of the bark and wood were reportedly tossed 50 meters. Luckilynobody was injured.

Cont’d from page 13

From the bottom of myheart, I would like tothank everyone thathelped accompany all ofus on this fantastic voy-age and will continue tohelp us, be it in person orthrough the memories inour hearts.

It is hard to believe thatwe have spent the lasttwelve years of our livesin the same place andwhat we come out withwill be forgotten in aweek or so.

I look around and I seeall the teacher's facesdrop, relax. Give it amonth or so actually. Justkidding.

The life lessons, experi-ences and the knowledgewe received from thestaff here at AndrewSchool will forever holda space in our hearts aswe take on the greatest

challenge, the path oflife. I look at my fellowclassmates and I justknow that each of them,in one shape or anotherwill contribute to andbenefit society, in theirown way. Although weare from such a smallschool, anything we putour minds to will mostcertainly present anopportunity for a bettertomorrow for not onlythe people of Andrew,but for possibly thewhole world.

A little message fromthe heart, from me to myfellow graduates, do notever think that the barwill ever be set too high.I know life can be intimi-dating and tedious attimes, but do not forgetto take into account thateverything that our par-ents, friends and teachershave done for us throughthe years were not for

none. They were to get usready for the long roadahead of us.

Do not get scared ofthis long road, take it as anew challenge andembrace the opportunityfor something new.When each of us walkedthrough the doors atAndrew School for thefirst time, it was a newand scary experience butwe did not give up on it.We took it as somethingnew.

Take life as somethingnew. Embrace the oppor-tunity. Take all that it hasto give. Just do not bescared of it. We werereadied for this opportu-nity; all we have to do isact upon it. AbrahamLincoln once said, “I willprepare and somedaymy chance will come”.And that is all we have towait for: our chance.Thank you.
