“Some journeys don’t have endings, they lead to new beginnings. These are the journeys that lead to great adventures!” Alex Haditaghi Friday, April 30 th , not only marked another special event for Dewberry School but it became a milestone marker for three students: Vale Fluney, Steven Manchen and Brandon Whitney. These students were the stars of the evening as they sat center stage and celebrated their successes as this year’s newest graduates. Trustee Lanie Parr congratulated the class and reminded them to use their school experiences as tools to become successful. She gave them some sound advice: “never stop growing your mind and always put your best, most sincere effort into whatever you do”. This group of students have already begun to do just that, both Brandon and Steven have completed their first year apprenticing and all three have been part of the work world for several years. MLA Dr. Richard Starke was honored to “share in a true celebration”. He said that it doesn’t matter the size, the major milestone is the same. He referred to our greatest natural resource as being our human resources, our youth! He mentioned that there is tremendous potential and that Alberta is a great place to go out and reach that potential. Our graduates definitely are reaching for that potential and this will lead them towards great adventures. Assistant Superintendent, Brad Romanchuk brought greetings from BTPS and applauded their efforts. He emphasized

how special it is to graduate from a small school and that the small school environment makes the experience more personal. The small school environment combined with the small class size is what made this class unique. Principal Curt Orbeck was extremely proud to celebrate in the great accomplishments of these three Amigos!! He spoke fondly of them and encouraged them to think of life as a choice. He stressed for them to be positive by design, not negative by default. These students have demonstrated this positive attitude with what they’ve accomplished this far into their next phase of life. As Mr. Orbeck said, they’ve accomplished more before they graduated than many do in a life time. The evening progressed with the passing of the torch and some very interesting class history of the young graduates. The closeness of the group was self-evident Dewberry Graduation as they laughed and took selfies while on From left, Steven Manchen, Vale Fluney & Brandon Whitney. Photo submitted stage. Valedictorian, Vale Fluney, summed up their motto, “Wherever you may go”, as meaning that “wherever life takes us, whatever we may do and no matter what comes our way, we will find a way to continue.” Although high school has ended, this group will find a way to continue on their journey of life. They are now beginning a new chapter in their lives and as Plato once said, “the beginning is the most important part of the work.” We are proud of the Class of 2016 and wish you the best of luck on any beginnings you may initiate. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said it all, Whatever you do or dream you can do – begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it. Congratulations to the Dewberry Class of 2016!

THELMA MARY DAVIES
August 19, 1963 – April 27, 2016 A sister, an aunt, a godmother, a mentor, and a friend has left us. Thelma grew up on the family farm south of Dewberry. Her first job at Vermilion’s renowned Craig’s Department Store bloomed into a career in vehicle service, sales, and management. Thelma's exceptional work ethic made her family proud beyond words. She adored cars, quads, camping, baseball, hockey, and helping out at her brothers' farms. But most importantly, Thelma was warm, caring, and loyal. She had an unwavering love for her friends and family, and would drop everything in a heartbeat for them. With such traits, it would be a disservice to her memory not to acknowledge the sheer fortitude Thelma demonstrated her entire life – a resolve that we can only aspire to. Thelma is predeceased by her sister Joan Martin (nee Davies) and her parents Ernie and Mary Davies. Thelma leaves behind her brothers, Alan (Sandra), Ralph (Iris), and Vernon (Ruth Shaw) Davies, her sister Norma Mosley (née Davies), her many nieces and nephews, and her two Siamese cats, Tooie and Ty. As per her request, no funeral service will be held. We love her, and miss her, and hope she’s found the happiness she’s always deserved.
