“Hope After Loss-Audra’s Legacy” Children’s Grief Support Program

Shannon O’Connor Reporter

“We’re off the ground and running after a 20 plus year dream,” said Walking Through Grief (WTG) facilitator, Shirley Scott about the new grief support program for children called “Hope After Loss – Audra’s Legacy” that is being offered in partnership with VIBE, in Vermilion and Lloydminster.

“I’ve had this idea since I started support work in 1991. I kept seeing the needs of children, even my own children when our daughter died, and how they fell through the cracks and how they weren’t supported in their grief journeys,” said Scott.

“It is called Hope After Loss – Audra’s Legacy because Shirley founded WTG over 20 years ago when her teenage daughter Audra died. There wasn’t support around for families and that’s why she started WTG. We thought it would be appropriate that we should honour her daughter’s memory,” said Pat Calyniuk, VIBE coordinator.

There will be two grief support programs offered, one for children ages 6 to 12, that

to talk and that’s what this program of support offers them – that time to talk in a safe environment with their peers.”

Scott added it is important to deal with grief issues early, so they don’t manifest into lifelong issues.

“You see angry teenagers, angry young adults and you say, ‘where does this come from?’ Most often the root is unresolved grief, unresolved pain that they have never dealt with and they keep on being angry the rest of their lives. Those were the things that led me to say if we could only support them and help them heal while they’re little, then they won’t carry that anger into their adult life,” added Scott.

“VIBE’s specialty is that we develop research-based programs, so that’s an important component; we brought the resources that are needed to develop a quality program,” said Calyniuk who added that 282 hours have gone into designing the program. The group in Vermilion will run after school from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“These groups are not counselling groups. They are education and teaching skills groups. Kids who require counsel-

ling, we of course would refer. All staff is trained and would be able to recognize that if it is needed.”

It is not just the children who will be educated said Calyniuk. From 5 p.m. to 5:30 the parent(s) or caregiver(s) will gather in another room.

“We want the parents and caregivers to be educated about what their children are learning. We know the best support for children are their family, so we want to give them the tools to help them support their children,” added Calyniuk.

The registration deadline is Jan. 28 and a maximum of 15 participants will be accepted into each of the programs.

The cost is $20 per family to register. The initial 10 week course in Vermilion runs from Feb. 2 to April 5. For more information, to register, or to volunteer as a facilitator, please contact Shirley Scott at 780-846-2576.

“It has been a long time coming. We are glad to be part of helping Shirley’s dream come true,” said Calyniuk.

“As long as it turns out right, it doesn’t really matter how long it took. This is the beginning of something new,” said Scott

begins in Vermilion on Feb. 2 and in Lloydminster on Feb. 1 as well as a program for teens that is slated to begin in the fall.

“This is a developmental 10 week program,” said Scott. “I’m very excited it will not just be a onetime thing. If children still have some issues after 10 weeks they can continue to come back. We are not going to say you have to find your own resources.”

Calyniuk said if some children do need to come again, the program is set up so the activities the children participate in would be different, but the topics would remain the same.

“We will be dealing with a different topic each week,” said Calyniuk. “The 10 week group covers topics like grief, loss, feeling, fears, regrets, memories, support, rituals, special days and saying goodbye.”

Scott said the group atmosphere is beneficial to children.

“In a group there are children going through the same thing. They can really identify with someone else who is feeling what they are feeling,” she added.

“Most adults don’t want to talk about it because it may upset their children, but that might be just what they need, a time

“I’m getting very excited, it has been a long time coming,” said author Billi J Miller about her upcoming book launch for her “labour of love” Farmwives in Profile.

Miller, who grew up in Lloydminster, but moved in 1993, said she first got the idea for the book when she moved back to the area (Kitscoty) in 2010 after marrying a fourth generation farmer.

“It was my first time being immersed in farm life,” said Miller who added that she was taken aback by the role of the traditional farmwife.

“You hear stories of them raising their kids, many times of the year single-handedly; when the men are out working in the fields they are cooking all the meals, doing all the cleaning, tending to the children and these giant gardens. The list goes on and on,” added Miller.

“I can’t tell you how many times I heard ‘So what’s this project about anyway? I haven’t done anything. I’m just a farmwife’” said Miller.

“They are not just farmwives, they are pillars holding these communities up and they are all around us. They deserve to be honoured.”

Miller inter viewed 17 women and posed 17 questions to each of them.

“I asked some really in depth questions about their lives. I just really wanted to get to the nitty-gritty about the hardest and best parts of their lives as farmwives.”

Miller said the questions she wanted to ask just flowed.

“As I stepped into this life myself, there were questions I wanted to ask people around me, and they were questions I truly wanted to know the answers to.”

Along with the interviews are timetested recipes as well as statements from some of the families about the impact their mothers have had on their lives.

“They are really touching,” said Miller.

As well as being a freelance writer, Miller is also a photographer whose niche is farm photography. Also included in the book are photos of the 17 farmwives taken by Miller who said the photos that

Pink Shirt Day Pink Shirt Day24th, 2016 February February 24th, 2016

touched her most were of the women sitting in their beautiful old kitchens.

“That was the best way for me to take photos of them because that represented them. I was sitting in their kitchen, I was at their table, and I was having this in depth honest talk about their lives,” said Miller.

“To them it just seemed like an everyday occurrence, to me it was real beauty and that was the essence I was trying to capture.”

Miller’s official book launch will take place on Wednesday, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Root: Community Emporium in Lloydminster. Copies of the book will be available for purchase in Vermilion at the Vermilion Voice and Eastalta Co-op. It can also be purchased online as a print or ebook at www.farmwivesbook.com or ordered through bookstores.

Miller said most of the farmwives and their families will be at the book launch on Jan. 13.

“It’s going to be an awesome celebration for them and I’m so excited stfor these amazing ladies’ lives to be in print.”

Sean Sonego Kicks Off Allied Arts 2016 Season

Reporter

Versatile singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist, Sean Sonego and his six-piece band kicked off the Vermilion Allied Arts Council’s 2016 season on Jan. 9 with an energy-infused performance that had the near c apac it y Alumni Theatre singing along to songs

play out that way at the piano bar.

He really flexed his artistic muscle when he sang Bohemian Rhapsody as a solo piece on the piano that perfectly exhibited the theatrical range of his voice. After hitting a high note in the middle of the song he joked, “My vocal chords will never be the same again.”

The 23 -year- old also per formed

some of his own poetry that he wrote during his down time while recovering from his second knee surgery.

He put this poetry to music, including a number he said was inspired by the movie Dead Poets Society, called Carpe Diem, as well as one that was written for his mother, who Sonego s a i d h a s s u p p o r te d h i m i n a l l h i s endeavours.

Just when you thought you could guess which direction this Edmonton artist’s two sets were headed, he would throw in a detour, like his unique arrangement of the theme song from the popular children’s show Arthur (the Aardvark), and a spirited performance of East-coast band Captain Tractor’s, Saskatchewan Pirate.

From Tennessee Whiskey to Twist and Shout and everything in between, Sean Sonego kicked off the Vermilion Allied Arts Council’s season in style.

The next performer in this season’s lineup will be the John Wort Hannam Trio with Karla Adolphe opening the show on Feb. 6.

W it h t hi s we ek being Minor Hockey Week it’s only fitting to acknowledge all the hard work and dedication both guys and girls put into their sport. The many hours of practice and travelling all over their zones to play hockey can be a very daunting task in itself, but the children who play don’t seem to mind all the work it takes. Which leads me to my thought about all the other sports and activities available to children and the benefits of having your child participate in extracurricular activities.

With activities like hockey, volleyball, basketball, football, dance, figure skating and gymnastics there are plenty of ways to stay active. Of course, not every child or teenager is a sports fan, and that is completely understandable, we all have

Franklin Wolters Columnist

In my travels from coffee shop to coffee shop, I manage to hear all kinds of conversation. You know in this day and age a lot of folks avail themselves of the modern jet set means of getting around. Yes, but you hear SO often about the fear and trembling of actually boarding the thing and trying to overcome the idea of hurtling along hundreds of miles per hour and feeling the turbulence and watching the wings flexing as you go. Not too relaxing for some as I’ve come to understand.

To start with, men weren’t designed to travel that fast, and try to think that not too many birds fly like five miles above the earth!! Let’s start with the idea of flying at all. It’s been men’s dream from recorded history to be able to see the earth from aloft and magically go from place to place like the birds did.

It’s not all that long ago as time goes that it wasn’t at all possible let alone at the wondrous heights and speeds attained now!! Hardly much more than one hundred years!!

As a very young boy, aircraft simply

Extracurricular Activities

our likes and dislikes, but I feel it is important for our children to participate in some kind of extracurricular activity to give them the opportunity to learn different life skills.

If your children are anything like mine were, a sport certainly was not their activity of choice. Why not consider activities like 4- H, drama, band, girl guides, brownies, piano or voice? The list of things a child can do really is endless.

When we think of involving our children in extracurricular activities, we often find ourselves sitting with a pen and paper and wondering if there is any way we can afford it. It’s a big decision, and the cost can be enormous, but the benefits of having your child participate are sometimes more beneficial than anyone can imagine.

A child with low self-esteem, for example, can flourish into a child with endless selfconfidence when given the opportunity to blossom and grow. It can give your child the opportunity to learn responsibility and time

management skills that they will need in life.

It can help protect your child from getting involved in the outside risky behaviours that many of our young children face every day.

If you give your child a productive activity, one which makes them feel they are accomplishing something, it can help keep our teenagers away from the party scene. It can help our children learn to be independent and strong individuals, giving them the much needed social skills to succeed.

As a parent, I can completely understand the stresses of trying to get your children involved in an outside activity, and the financial strain it can place on a family unit, but there are ways of doing extracurricular activities without all the expense.

As a child, we invented plenty of ways to keep ourselves active and occupied so that we didn’t get into much trouble.

We would go outside and play neighbourhood tag or searching for night worms,

Let’s Go Flying

fascinated me and I built toy planes with wood and flew them in imaginary flights, zooming around the house and yard with all the sounds of an aircraft doing wonderful things. My Dad thought, “How could a kid of mine have ideas like that?” That idea never left me I was simply obsessed with the idea of flying.

Well, I wrote the story in my book how I finally came to learn to fly and even owned a plane. You don’t think that all happened without me going through periods of fear and panic do you? Well, I’m here to tell you, it’s very unnatural to go through the learning process and you better be most determined if you really intend to carry through your dreams!! You’re put in very unnatural situations that test your spirit and I’m here to tell you not everyone who tried the process was able to succeed. Not nearly everyone for sure!!

The rewards were so very worth it if you could just persevere and overcome the natural fear of the unknown!! The feeling of self confidence that I achieved was enormous and the gift of being able to fly was so very – very wonderful, and in my old age has remained in me the feeling I had achieved my dream. Pretty wonderful stuff!!

Hell, I felt, If I can learn to fly an airplane, what else can I do if I really put my mind to

it? Yes, it can make a difference in all your life to stick with it and have a dream realized!!

So, no wonder after all those hours of learning about flying and knowing that something unnatural is happening, you can see why someone whose first airplane ride is scary. Little wonder It takes a while to learn what happens when a machine as complex and powerful as a modern jet turns loose its engines to hurtle you through the skies. You can just imagine all the horrors that could befall you did things go wrong!!

Yes, but over the years aircrafts have been perfected and navigation and all things pertaining to weather and maintenance have combined to make air travel the safest ever yet devised!!

So, now even with the added risk posed by the forces that would in every way try to disrupt that safety, methods have been perfected to make your ride as safe as possible.

I remember the first jet ride I took on a flight to Texas and I thought how can this thing climb this steeply and turn in a climb and not stall and fall out of the sky?

Yes, even with my hours of training and flying, I was a bit apprehensive of the feelings that the modern jet had compared with the little under powered Cessna that I first

so we could go to the numerous ponds for trout fishing. We would go to the pond and spend countless hours swimming with all our friends. We rode our bikes and played baseball in an empty parking lot. You name it, we did it in the summer.

During the winter months, we did become a little less active. However, we did spend many days out tobogganing, having snowball fights, building snowmen and ice skating on a frozen pond. No one would ever say they were bored like you hear so many times a day from children now.

As you can see, extracurricular activities don’t have to break the bank, the key is to get involved in our children’s lives. As parents, we often look at the dollar figure and think “I can’t afford this or that.” Lace up a pair of skates, grab the baseball and bat, or fishing pole and just encourage your children to chose the productive side or life instead of the destructive side of life, it’s pretty simple.

flew on my own.

I was told on a stop to the states that at any time in the U.S.A the equivalent of the City of Los Angeles is in the air. The air is really quite full of aircraft heading in all different directions going to destinations all over the globe. The percentage of even having a bad experience is very low.

Well anyway, I used to gas up my little bird on a quiet morning or evening and to ease my cares and stress would burn a jerry can or so fuel and land refreshed and relaxed. The joy of flying was so wonderful, and I look back so thankful that the Wright brothers had made it possible for me!!

H a p py N ew Ye ar Folks, I wish all of you and yours the best.

For myself, I am looking forward to it, 2015 didn’t treat me all that well in some aspects, and I am going to change that around for 2016.

Winter 2016 has been cooperating. The weather is mild; the snow is not so deep that it makes adventures hard to do. And as a bonus, we have already passed the shortest daylight day of winter, also known as the winter solstice that happened here on December 22nd in the northern hemisphere, so we are already on the upswing to longer days. Although, slow, at first, it will be noticeable in a short month or so. Perhaps the worst thing about winter solstice or the shortest day of the year is the temperature drops.

During the darkest days of winter, in winter solstice our atmosphere will cool, interestingly enough we don’t feel it as it happens, that happens in our atmosphere and takes several weeks to catch up to us, hence cold January temperatures.

So, I can almost guarantee, with certainty, that by the time many of you read this the temperature will have started to drop, or within this next week or so, sometimes it’s gradual and other times it’s immediate harshness.

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday season with family, turkey and lots of days off. I certainly did, and of course with the bonus of my Christmas present, Miss Oohohh my puppy, how could it not be.

Saskatchewan Cree artist, Allen Sapp, sold his art in the streets of North Battleford after relocating from Red Pheasant Reserve in the early 1960s.

Initially, Sapp painted what some dubbed ‘calendar art’, pleasant scenes depicting mountains and streams and wildlife. He painted what he thought would sell, images he believed would interest white people.

Sapp even altered his appearance in an effort to present a more appealing image to potential customers. He cut off his long hair and acquired a few ill-fitting suit jackets, perhaps thinking it best to downplay his Indian-ness. Surviving as an artist proved challenging for the young husband and father, additionally complicated by a lack of clarity concerning his own identity and heritage.

As his biographical notes reveal, in 1966 Sapp timidly ventured into a medical office with a few pieces of his work. There he met Dr. Allan Gonor who, if not immediately, by

hours a day for the last 15 days with Miss Oohohh constantly at my side during the holiday season, this portion of my column will be a little longer than normal.

The only time she wasn’t in sight or with me during that time is when I put her to bed every night in the shop. Before I enjoyed a coffee at sunrise every morning, I would wake her up so we would be together. We spent a lot of time outdoors and did our own little adventures. We have bonded ever so close, and she has doubled in size, it was like babysitting, but we have come a long way.

The Alaskan Malamute, which Miss Oohohh is a purebred, is a unique breed of dog. They are bred for their strength and endurance; they are a true northern working breed dog.

In fact, named after the Mahlemut Inuit peoples, who bred them as a sled and working dogs traces back thousands of years.

Huge losses from the breed’s service in World War II all but eliminated them. In 1947, there were estimated to be only about 30 registered dogs left.

Malamutes are very fond of people and children, a trait that makes them particularly sought-after family dogs, but unreliable watchdogs due to their friendliness to people.

As with wolves, the Alaskan Malamute has a strong sense of “pack” hierarchy. In a pack, there is always a hierarchy or pecking order, pack members each have their place in that hierarchy, with the most dominant member, generally a male, assuming the “alpha” or “leader” role. A strong, confident leader is necessary to ensure a stable, secure pack. Malamutes, as a breed, tend to possess a very high natural level of dominance, and will be happy to assume the

alpha role in any pack to which they belong.

From day one your pup has to know that your family is that pack, with the pup at the bottom of that pecking order. If your pup does not know that they will choose their place in the pack; meaning there will have to be an alpha male and/or female, and if children are present, they have to prove higher hierarchy in the pack than the pup. Every member of your family, children, and adults alike, must apply these methods with love, affection, respect, firmness, and consistency. Your pup will return that love, affection, and respect ten-fold, will learn to trust all of you, and will feel completely secure with her place at the bottom of the hierarchy.

As serious as that sounds, it can be done with a simple day to day routine. Just loving the pup, for example for a Malamute laying on its back is a sign of submission, so simply showing affection with a pup by rubbing its belly while lying on its back, is a show of your dominance. Sharing food in a pack is also important. Alpha members in a pack always get to eat first, and with dominance can touch lower pack member’s food, where they are not allowed to touch the dominant’s food until allowed.

I had established the alpha male role right from the first day with Miss Oohohh, and she is perfectly happy with that. However, I can see where there is still a pack pecking order between my wife and Miss Oohohh.

That should be interesting to say the least, but she is still not even 12 weeks old yet, although heavy training usually starts after 12 weeks, she has already mastered many skills.

Although, I’m sure that training is going both ways, we are just enjoying each other’s company on our long walks in the “back

The Truth Inside

their second meeting recognized in Sapp an innate talent worthy of attention and nurturing. Gonor, who would become a lifelong friend, encouraged Sapp to paint more of what he knew rather than what he imagined might sell. With Gonor’s encouragement, Sapp altered the focus of his work, embarking on a new journey featuring depictions of his own people in their Plains environment.

It would change the course of Sapp’s artistic career and deeply impact his life.

It was through Gonor that Sapp met University of Saskatchewan’s Wynona Mulcaster, a Professor in the Art Department. Also impressed by Sapp’s work, Mulcaster hosted his first public art show in September, 1968. It took place in her yard in Saskatoon. The following year, Saskatoon’s Mendel Art Gallery featured Sapp’s work at a major show where nearly all of the sixtyone paintings on display were sold. His career as a bona fide Aboriginal Canadian Artist had been launched.

Sapp’s work depicts scenes from every day life on the reserve. Painting from a remarkably vivid memory of his experience growing up with his grandparents in the

30s and 40s, over his lifetime Sapp documented both his personal story and Plains Cree culture. His art has been called ‘realist impressionism’ for its uncanny duality in illustrating the simplicity of daily life activities while drawing viewers beyond the surface of the scenes visible on the canvas. With his brushes and tones, Sapp’s care and sensitivity, his deep connectivity to the land and his people, resonates through the depictions of ordinary moments captured in his work. Through his art, Sapp shared his experience and knowledge of a culture rich in tradition and strengthened by the depth and support of family bonds. Possibly one of the reasons his work exudes such intensity, such immense power, stems from the fact that it was his primary means of communication. Sapp never learned to read or write.

Sapp, like so many others searching for their authentic identity, discovered a pride of culture through his exploration into his own heritage. His art helped him to understand, acknowledge, and to be proud of his Cree ancestry. He grew his hair long again and wore it in traditional

We will find critter tracks in the snow; I will sit and try to analyze what the critter was and what it was doing, and she will patiently sit there and analyze me, I’m thinking, just before bouncing off and diving head first deep into the snow.

She is house trained now, with that bad leak under control. She has doubled in size, and I couldn’t resist trying the training packs on her; she took to it like she was born pack trained.

You could actually see the excitement in Miss Oohohh’s face to be working, so a lot of pictures had to be taken, and in the one below you can just see how proud she was.

braids. He proudly wore traditional beadwork. He danced traditional dances. In his words, it was “better to be a good Indian than a poor white man”. Sapp did become a ‘good Indian’ and during the process made a significant contribution to the Cree nation, and to the re-emergence of native art.

Despite his achievements and commercial success, Allen Sapp remained a humble and generous man. He has been referred to by some as the Grandfather of Saskatchewan Art. Among many other honours bestowed upon him over the years, Sapp has been named a member of the Order of Canada for his contributions to Aboriginal culture and to the enrichment of general Canadian culture. It seems poignantly fitting that in his 70s, he contributed the beautiful illustrations for a children’s book entitled ‘The Song Within My Heart’. Allen Sapp slept his way peacefully out of this world on December 28, 2015. He was 87 years old. I’m thinking he discovered the personal truth he’d been searching for earlier in his life, and that what he found inside was very, very good.

Chorizo Sausage

Dawn Hames Columnist

Over the holidays the men of our house spent two days making eight y pounds of sausage.

The meat was a fifty-fifty blend of ground moose and ground beef.

The first day is spent grinding the previously frozen moose trimmings and then mixing up the t wo meats and spices for four dif ferent kinds of sausage in large vats. The cold temperatures allowed us to use our garage and the deck as meat lockers for overnight meat storage.

The next day the meat mixture was reground and then made into sausages with a hand operated sausage stuffing machine. A tube of collagen meat casing is slightly dampened and feed onto the nozzle of the sausage stuffer.

The meat goes in the top of the sausage stuffer and comes out the nozzle, filling the casing with meat.

To begin, tie a knot in the end of the casing. We found that it is best to allow air space in the casing when filling it, to allow space to twist the coil into links. It had been a while since we had made sausage, so remembering and figuring out the method to twist and link the sausage into clusters of three links took a few tries.

We had a frying pan going on the stove to fr y up small pat ties of the sausage mixture as a taste test. The

peppered garlic sausage was left in log sticks that went into the smoker.

We made maple breakfast sausage in which we used a smaller casing with the Italian and Chorizo sausage in the larger casing. The finished raw sausages are packaged into freezer bags and frozen.

My city daughter in law, asked why we would bother to make sausage when we could just buy it? It is a good question. Clearly it is a lot of work to make the sausage, but the benefits include a healthy product without chemical preser vatives, with amazing taste and it is a good way to use up all the moose trimmings. We also take pride in our handmade ar tisan sausage and enjoy working together as a family. Perhaps it is a farm way of thinking and being. This sausage recipe turned out amazing; it is spicy with just the right amount of heat.

Chorizo Sausage 10 pounds ground moose 10 pounds ground beef 4 cups cold white wine 2/3 cup paprika 1/3 cup salt 1/2 cup fresh minced garlic 5 tablespoons cayenne pepper 8 teaspoons Cumin 8 teaspoons dried oregano 4 teaspoons black pepper Combine all the ingredients, allow to chill overnight for the flavours to develop and blend, regrind the next d ay an d t hen put into t he c as ing.

Freeze in freezer bags.

Taurus

Gemini

Cancer

This is not a good day to ask for a favour, especially to borrow money because others feel frugal and careful. In fact, your fair share of something might be diminished or less than you expected; on the other hand, you will get something.

A relationship might end today; or it might feel cool and a bit detached. The affection is actually there but it's difficult to express it either on your part or the part of someone else. If you look around you, you will see that everyone is a bit reserved.

It will please you to work hard today, not only to get the respect and praise from others that you will receive, but also have your own sense of pride and accomplishment. You value duty and responsibilities today. "No slackers!"

Leo

Virgo

Libra

Scorpio

Whatever you do today with romance, amusing diversions, fun times, a date perhaps, or playful times with children will be more serious than you expected it to be. That's because people are not flamboyant today. Quite the opposite, they will tend to cover up their emotions with a cool detachment.

Do what is expected of you at home today because life will be easier. If you buy something for your home, you will want it to be practical and long-lasting.

However, this is a good day to explore real-estate deals that could be profitable in the future.

You can make money from your words today but to do so, you will have to work hard and be orderly and careful. This is an excellent day for long-range planning. It's also a good day for writing, editing and teaching because your approach to beauty is realistic.

You want to use your money wisely today. You don't want to go overboard or be flamboyant because you want to give others the impression of being sensible. (Actually, you want to give yourself the impression of being sensible as well!) True. "I'm sensible."

Sagittarius Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

Whatever you do today will be tempered by practical considerations. You feel friendly but you also feel restrained. In fact, you might feel separated or apart from someone because for some reason, you might feel lonesome.

This is just a fleeting feeling - no worries.

You might have to say goodbye to a loved one today. Alternatively, you might meet someone who is older and more conservative but this could be the beginning of a relationship that is loyal, steady and reliable.

Someone older might offer you good advice.

Relations with authority figures are pretty good today because you will show them respect, and you will listen to what they have to say.

Possibly, you are the authority figure that others are listening to. Whatever the case, communications with others are restrained.

Discussions with others are serious today, especially about religion, philosophy or other cultures. Some might begin a new relationship with someone who is older or more conservative. The value of education will be apparent today because you will respect learning and knowledge.

Don't give it too much thought if you feel cut off from others today because the truth is, many people feel this way today. Even if you feel affectionate for someone, you feel you can't say anything. Or you don't think someone feels affectionate for you. Instead, participate in physical activity with others.

Happy New Year from the students and staff of St. Jerome’s. We hope everyone had a family filled, refreshing Christmas holidays. Students were excited to see each other and share their holiday highlights with each other. Many classes did a variety of activities to ring in the New Year.

“2016” glasses were created, cupcakes decorated, games played and celebrations enjoyed.

On Wednesday we gathered with community members at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church for our monthly mass. Father Roger shared with the students that when Jesus was born he became the Face of God. No one has loved us more then Jesus because he willingly died on the cross for our sins so we can always be with him. Thank you to all the students who sang in the choir and helped with the liturgy.

A huge thank you to our wonderful custodians, Ernie and Dorothy Decker.

The school looked amazingly shining and fresh after the holidays. Your hard work is very appreciated. Thank you to Sherry Martin for donating her winnings of $250 Chamber Bucks, from the Candy Cane Passport Early Bird Draw to the St. Jerome’s Hot Lunch Program. The Boston Pizza Fundraiser is back. Remember to bring in your Boston Pizza receipts and Boston Pizza will donate 5 per cent of the total to the school.

Jr. B Press Release

Submitted

The Tigers face an uphill battle as they currently sit 8 points back of a playoff spot. A big 4-1 win prior to the Christmas break against the rival Bandits from Lloydminster was a huge win and 2 points.

The Tigers returned to home action on Sunday, Jan 3 as the Killam Wheat Kings and Tigers played for the 4th and final time this regular season. The Wheaties had won all 3 of the previous meetings.

The Tigers came out strong as they matched the intensity of the Wheaties. 2 goals 35 seconds apart had the Tigers up 2-1 late in the 1st. The Wheat Kings

applied significant pressure in the second and third periods, firing 35 shots on net as they came out with a 6-3 victory.

Ryan VanGenderen, Trent Dutchak and Evan Bardoel had the markers for the Tigers. The Tigers ended the game 1 for 8 on the powerplay and gave up 2 power play and one shorthanded goal.

The Tigers have 11 remaining regular season games with 8 of those to be played on home ice. The Tigers headed to St. Paul to face the Rangers on Friday, Jan 8 and were back home to battle Frog Lake on Saturday, Jan 9.

Football Marauders Celebrate Successful Season

Cathy Wolters Submitted

While individual awards were in the spotlight at the Marauders’ award evening, celebrating the season was an equal partner.

A dozen traditional awards plus a new one for most dedicated player were presented along with league all-star recognition and medallions marking their zone Tier 4 championship.

“You were part of something bigger than an individual award,” coach Steve Theiss said just before the medallions were given to each player noting the thousands of sit ups and push ups as well as hundreds of laps they’d run during practices.

As there isn’t a trophy for the zone championship, Theiss, and his wife Corrine, donated the medals so the players had a tangible reminder of exceeding their pre-season goal of making it into the provincial playoffs. The team also won the consolation Wheatland league final.

Most valuable Marauder player Donovan Yaceyko was one of four Marauders voted an all-star by league coaches. He missed being the league MVP by a single

vote. Ryley Bates, Brayden Chilibeck and Scott Zielinski were the other Marauder Wheatland all-stars. The last time the Marauders football team had league allstars was in 2009.

Nine graduating players received nods as award runner-ups or winners. This included Yaceyko who was runner-up as special teams, linebacker and defensive MVP. Bates was linebacker of the year.

Will Snider was offensive lineman of the year while Jeremiah Ball was runnerup as defensive lineman and winner of defensive MVP. Dan Hryciuk won most improved player while Noah Sanson was runner-up for both most improved and offensive back.

Four-year player Greg Perillat was one two Marauders to receive a new award for most dedicated player. Joining him for the recognition was rookie Trevor Thor.

Head coach Lorne Maier summed up the award as being about heart, spirit, sweat, contributing what you can and always showing up.

Chilibeck, runner-up as team MVP, was offensive player of the year as well as offensive back. Another Grade 11, Zielinski, was defensive lineman of the year for

the third consecutive time.

Rookie of the year honours went to lineman Kyle Theiss who was runner-up O-lineman. Rookie runner-up was Hayden Usenik. Car ter Usenik was runner-up to Vincent Brosseau for defensive back of the year.

Another rookie, David Wilson, who handled the kickoff duties, was special

teams player of the year.

First year Marauder Booster Club president Joe Myshak and his wife Crystal were presented the Phil McKerihan Marauder Spirit Award.

A total of 17 played their final season this year prompting coach Theiss to ask them to each recruit someone to play Marauder football next season.
