That was World War I, and we have had World War II and the Korean War, the Vietnam War, battles in Iraq, battles in Africa, and peacekeeping in Cyprus and Yugoslavia. In each of these, young soldiers have been injured physically and mentally and thousands have died. Some young people have refused to fight, have escaped to other countries to avoid having to shoot other young people, and they’ve been branded cowards for this refusal. The whole situation is complex, except for some people who see it in black and white. A young Scot, not old enough to fight in 1914, was accosted by two older women in an elevator at the beginning of the war that we are focusing on this year. They showed their contempt for him by handing him a white feather. That feather signified that they considered him a coward. When he reached the right age, he eventually made it to the war, to Belgium and those terrible fighting fields of Ypres. There he met a young woman whom he took home to be his wife. But Gottlieve was Belgian, a foreigner, and not accepted in Ayr, Scotland. His family rejected him permanently for marrying outside their social sphere. This is not an isolated story of war and then love. Young men fighting in wars live lives unimaginable by those of us who do not fight for our country and for our way of life. Their humanity is not cancelled when they are sent to fight the enemy, nor do they behave like mindless robots. They have the same emotions that you and I do when we have a conflict with our brothers or sisters or neighbours, or when we express extreme dislike of this or that politician. Some of them bring home a woman to marry, or nightmares that destroy the marriages they put on hold. War is a terrible thing, and not to be engaged in lightly. Poet soldiers have written about their feelings as they heard bombs dropping around them. Wilfred Owen wrote a poem We shal l forget t not hem 11-11-1 4 between 1917 and 1918 about his gassed and dying comrades lying in a wagon that their mates trudged wearily behind: “If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori” (It is sweet and right to die for one’s country.) On Sunday, November 2, musicians from our city will remember those young people who fought because they answered a call to defend what they held dear. No soldiers from that war are still among the living, but you can see their names written on memorials and hear their stories from their relatives. The program features music that you will recognize and music that might be new to you. The Allegro band under the direction of Bill Wahl will begin this homage to those who fought for their country. Bill says that music can celebrate valour, or express the grief that we feel when we consider these turbulent times in our country’s history. There will be a medley from the Legion Songbook with pieces you are sure to have heard. A particularly memorable Continued on page 8 Jon 403-527-1011 Fall in love with an Amr on Home!

Leaving 8:30am from Medicine Hat Mall Food Court. Agriculture Starting from: First Place Premiere Place Two Minutes By: Hareem Masroor, Nanaimo, BC Two minutes of silence is all we have to remember the fallen. I look up and see the veterans. The medals on their uniforms gleam in the sunlight. The call for the two minute silence was made. As their heads hung, their faces reveal sorrow from the memories of the war, however there’s also a glimpse of strength, pride and relief. I turn my head to the left and see a row of brightly coloured poppies pinned onto the shirts of those I see. For most of us kids it was unnatural to be in such a quiet setting, but once I closed my eyes I began to dwell into the mindset of why we remember. It was here when I realize that there was more to this silence than simply trying to remember soldiers, nurses and others who participated meet horrific ends. These two minutes allow us to think deeply. War was able to destroy lives of so many families and innocent people, but it wasn’t able to destroy the hope that clinged within them, the action to carry on nor the ability to ever say our county “will never win.” It is this significance that marks an important feeling in our hearts.The reason we have silence is to mark the end of war.We remember more than lost lives within two minutes. We reflect on what the soldiers were fighting for, how they chose to enter darkness in order to give us light. Their harsh conditions brought us all comfort and freedom, their struggles on the battlefield is what gave us a strong country, their lives were given to let our children move on and start life at a better place. It seemed as if the whole place fell still, frozen in time. This moment is when we all put aside our boundaries such as gender, religion and class to unite in remembrance. The silence breaks with a strong sound coming from a trumpet as it plays the song “The Fallen.” Afterwards the ceremony concludes with speeches and then a last march accompanied by bagpipes. I noticed tears spring from a veteran’s eyes. It filled me with just as much sadness. I couldn’t imagine the pain and sorrow it must have been to watch comrades die in front of your eyes or to know that you couldn’t see the faces of your loved ones ever again. After all I was just a kid and the idea of war was so distant. It really is admirable when you think about it, these people were just neighbours and good citizens, yet they had the courage to fight in war and leave their homes to protect the future of their country and generations. To me that deserves a huge recognition and award. I walked over to the veteran and plainly replied, “thank you for your service and God bless you all for what you did.” I know that words can’t truly express the debt that we owe them but it still felt right to show this person how grateful I was for his and all the fellows veterans services. Remembrance day, it comes only once a year, but on this one day the heart of the ceremony comes from the silence. It gives us some understanding about war and the effects of sacrifice, a lesson seldomly seen and also a lesson that can never be truly grasped from books. We recognize the efforts of mere strangers who placed themselves either at land or sea to make sure that we’re given the opportunities that we have today. This gives us an infinite way of honouring, respecting and giving our thanks to these soldiers. I stand taller, walk prouder and feel confident that I am a Canadian. What’s great is that I’ve learned most of this through silence, a two minute silence.

It will be hard to keep your eyes dry during these pieces. Members of the South Alberta Pipes and Drums will perform Amazing Grace and Highland Cathedral. The last was apparently the favourite piece of the Queen Mother. It was performed in Ottawa on October 28, 2014, at the funeral of Corporeal Nathan Cirillo who died guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Evan Tonin and the Tribute Singers will add their acknowledgement in song of the service the youth of that generation gave to the world. Her assembly of singers will perform more recognizable songs including, among others, Till We Meet Again and The White Cliffs of Dover. Evan and her singers are enthusiastic and will probably make you want to sing along. But, wait for Evan’s cue. After the intermission, the Allegro Band will continue with selections from World War II, Canadian Lord’s Day Association For the purpose of preserving the sanctity of the Lord’s Day Safely through another week God has brought us on our way Let us now a blessing seek On the present Sabbath day Of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest C.L . D.A. B ox 1 3 6 9 Picture Butte T0K 1V0 The Vanished Army and Schindler’s List. There will be marches including the South Alberta Canadian Light Horse March – A Southerly Wing and a Cloudy Sky. Marches are bracing. They encourage us to set aside our sorrows and to face the future bravely. This musical program will take us from sorrow to a desire not to lose heart. It is of paramount importance not to forget.

But you can’t get experience because you can’t get a job? • Do you need more skills or a better network so you can find work? • Are you thinking of making a change in your career but unsure about what you want to do? If you answered yes to any of these questions, volunteering could be the boost your career needs. When you volunteer, you share your skills and time with people and organizations in the community without expecting to be paid. Volunteering takes you right into the workplace, giving you a chance to build your experience and demonstrate your employability. Here are six ways volunteering can help you reach your career goals: Volunteering gives you experience. Most employers want workers who have workplace experience. This kind of experience shows employers that you can manage your time, complete your tasks, get along with others and make a commitment. Your volunteer record proves to an employer that you have workplace experience. When you volunteer you meet and work with people with different attitudes and worldviews. This experience shows employers that you can be flexible and adaptable—qualities they want their employees to have. Volunteering helps you develop skills. Volunteering gives you a chance to build on skills you already have and learn new ones. For example, as a volunteer you might be able to try out a new computer program, use a second language, develop customer service skills or practise speaking in public. If you’re employed, you may want to look for volunteer opportunities that strengthen skills you have but are not currently using in your work. For example, if you work on your own in a parts warehouse, volunteering for site hospitality at a festival could help you maintain and improve your people skills. Be realistic about your current skill level when you apply to volunteer. An organization may need people whose skill level is more advanced than yours in the position you want. You may need to develop your skills before taking on a more challenging position.

Volunteering expands your network. Your network is all the people you know and all the people they know. Every new person you meet becomes part of your network and may potentially connect you with other contacts and career opportunities. Volunteering gives you the chance to meet new people and through them expand your network, opening up opportunities you might not have otherwise. Keep a list of the contacts you make volunteering—staff, board members, clients, other volunteers, suppliers and others. You never know who might help you and how. Volunteering lets you check out an occupation or industry. When you’re choosing a career direction or thinking about a career change, volunteering gives you a chance to explore different occupations and industry sectors. You get to know the people, challenges and rewards involved and gain a better understanding of the roles and jobs available. For example, as a hospital volunteer, you’re exposed to a wide range of health care workers, from front line nursing and medical staff to program administrators. Volunteer experience in a specific field or industry can make your resumé or application stand out when you’re competing for a job or applying to a postsecondary program in that field. For example, volunteer experience at an animal shelter might increase your chances of being admitted to an animal health technology program. Volunteering builds your confidence. Maintaining your confidence is especially important if you’ve been unemployed for a while or discouraged in your search for a new job or career direction. Volunteering can help you feel active, useful and productive—all great ways to increase your confidence. Volunteering helps you get to know yourself. Knowing yourself— your skills, accomplishments, interests and values—is the foundation of career success. Volunteer experience can be a good way to learn more about yourself and your potential to grow and develop. It also gives you a chance to find out how other people view you and your strengths. Volunteering is a winwin situation. By helping others, you have the opportunity to boost not only your career but your own well-being. When you volunteer in a role that’s right for you, everybody comes out ahead. ~alis.alberta.ca Komat Energy Services is currently seeking a Floorhand for our Double Rod Rig.
