"We can choose to do nothing and let this go, but then we would be condoning the improper and alleged illegal action perpetrated by Councillor Huffman." In speaking with the Champion af- ter themeeting, Huffmanexpressed his dismay in council's decision.

One hundred years after the end of the war - during which more than 15 million people died, including about 60,000 Canadian sol- diers --- the students say it's hard to truly know what life then was like - but their history homework has helped. The 23 students in Mi- chael Zietsma's Canadian history class at King's Christian College spent several weeks this fall cre- ating scrapbooks or web pages, looking into the mil- itary history, families and local connections of First World War veterans from the area. They used gov- ernment channels to dig up old documents, found their subjects' names on lo- cal cenotaphs and, in some cases, even visited their graves or former homes. "The goal was to help them understand the hu- man experience of war," said Zietsma. "(The sol- diers) had lives ... They had hopes." Some of the students say they now have more empathy for people who have experienced war and a deeper connection to lo- cal history. "Everyone talks about the war on a large scale, but it's good to look at the people," said Milton resi- dent Sam Coleman, 15. "These were just people. Some of their deaths were so unnecessary." Burlington resident Ad- die Presswood, 15, used her grandmother Laura Forbes as a resource to study the life of close fami- STUDENTS CONNECT WITH FIRST WORLD WAR BY RESEARCHING LOCAL SOLDIERS King's Christian Collegiate students Sam Coleman, 15, (back l-r) Mark Sanadi, 14, (front l-r) Kyleise Rolf von den Baumen, 15, Brenda Zamora, 15, and Addie Presswood, 15, created detailed Remembrance Day projects where each student researched a local First World War soldier.
