The dedication of William Erasmus, 73, is one of the reasons Canadians live in freedom. Erasmus has served in two military conflicts as a representative of his homeland.

"What I believe in, I will fight for," said Erasmus.

The veteran was the driving force behind the Kikino Metis Settlement's two new monuments to celebrate the Kikino members who fought for their country and the settlement members who have passed away.

The two monuments were unveiled on Nov. 11 at Kikino.

"It's time that we gave them the recognition," he said.

Edmonton police took only a week to lay charges in connection with the alleged assault of North of 60 star Dakota House.

On Oct. 19, the 23-year-old actor was found lying in a pool of blood in a hallway of the river-front apartment building where he lives.

He was rushed to Edmonton's University Hospital with injuries to his head, face and upper body. The alleged beating left him with a severe skull fracture. He remained in the neurological ward of the hospital in serious condition. Several days later, he was released.

Flags in downtown Slave Lake flew at half-mast on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The streets were quiet as a traditional horse-drawn hearse carried the body of the late Sawridge Chief Walter Twinn to a funeral at St. Peter's Celestin Roman Catholic Church.

Twinn died suddenly of a massive heart attack Thursday Oct. 30, after returning from a ceremonial sweat lodge.

The Sawridge chief's funeral was draped in pomp and pageantry, and was "the closest Slave Lake has ever come to a state funeral," according to Mayor Gerry Allarie.
