I sit here in my less than impeccable room and think to myself, “Will I ever be Swiss?”
I arrived in Switzerland in the beginning of August, worn shoes slapping on smooth concrete as I made my way to my host family. Thoughts raced through my head, butterflies dizzied themselves in my stomach and freshly applied deodorant battled against my ever-active sweat glands. Naturally, going away on a Rotary exchange made me nervous.

The Yellowhead AAA Chiefs are heading into the holiday break with a pair of important wins in their stockings. The team outlasted the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League’s top team, the Eastman Selects on Friday, Dec. 18, 6-5 in overtime. They followed that up with a solid 3-0 road victory over the Brandon Wheat Kings on Sunday, Dec. 20. Along with these most recent wins, Yellowhead has claimed six of their last seven league games and are within striking distance of the second place Winnipeg Wild in the standings.
