Representatives have face to face meetings with officials in Ottawa Michelle Pinon Editor
Vegreville Mayor Myron Hayduk is a rational man, and dealing with the possible closure of the immigration Case Processing Centre (CPC) in a sensible and logical way, has proven to be the best course of action to date. His rational straightforward approach as well as his ability to effectively communicate with all sides of the issue resulted in gaining a recent audience with Canada’s Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen and other MP’s during a recent trip to Ottawa. Hayduk, would probably not take credit for the face to face meeting, and
has acknowledged the support he has received from colleagues on town council and staff, Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs, Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood as well as members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), and several other key people in the community, who are all fighting to keep the CPC open and save over 240 local jobs. In fact it was an employee with the CPC who informed the town and himself to get down to the Sunshine Club that day last fall, when he was told “it has been decided” to close the CPC. Not only is the Town of Vegreville the
biggest stakeholder involved, but no one was notified of the proposed closure, let alone given any kind of facts or rationale behind the decision. “I like to think of myself as a rational person, and look at both sides of the story, and their information is not factual.” He reiterated there is no social or economic reasoning for the decision. Instead of taking his word or the word of the town, Hayduk said council decided the best way to back up their position was to have a third party conduct an independent investigation and socio-economic impact assessment. Hayduk, along with the consultant, town
manager, and a couple of councillors travelled to the nation’s capital February 22 armed with the facts. On February 23 and 24 the delegation meet with Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen, NDP Critic for Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship MP Jenny Kwan, and Liberal MP and Minister of Infrastructure & Communities Amarjeet Sohi. Hayduk believes there has been a general lack of communication between the stakeholders, but feels much of what needs to be discussed has been done, and they will let all of the facts speak for themselves. He also encourages people who live inside and outside of

MPs from all sides as well as municipalities throughout the province for supporting the Respect Vegreville campaign.

Province promises reduction in school fees for parents Michelle Pinon Editor
The start of the spring session at the Alberta Legislature last Thursday kicked off with the promise to reduce school fees. Bill 1: An Act to Reduce School Fees was introduced and tabled by the Government of Alberta. If the bill is passed, Alberta parents will no longer have to pay school fees for instructional supplies or materials or for eligible students taking the bus to their designated schools. If proclaimed, Bill 1 will result in amendments to the School Act, as well as the creation of a new school fees regulation before the start of the 2017/18 school year. Trina Boymook, Chair of Elk Island Public
Schools, (EIPS), said with the downturn in the economy families are definitely struggling and the reduction in school fees will help lift some of the challenges they are currently facing. “We certainly understand that school fees can represent a hardship to parents,” said Boymook. In fact, she had some statistics to share on the subject. In the 2016-’17 school year fees were waived or reduced for a total of 250 students which encompassed a loss of $19,995 in transportation fees, loss of $14,282 in learning resources fees, loss of $11,707 in noon hour supervision fees, and loss of $2,466 in miscellaneous items. Further consultation with parents and school boards will occur before the regulation is established, but it will set a
clear definition for instructional supplies or materials. Included in this category would be charges for: textbooks, workbooks, photocopying, printing and paper
supplies. “We won’t know the compensation fee or formula until March 16.” According to the provincial government, the cost of instructional
supplies and materials and transportation fees for students taking the bus to their designated schools. These two fees cost Alberta families more than $50 million

Board members await final report from consultants Michelle Pinon Editor
A draft report regarding the feasibility of the Andrew Senior Citizen’s Lodge was recently presented to members of the Lamont County Housing Foundation (LCHF) recently. While LCHF Chief Administrative Officer Harold James said he was not in a position to release details at this time, he said the consultants were currently in the process of refining the document and will present a final version to the board in the near future.
He explained that the final report would be reviewed by the LCHF board and then sent to Alberta Seniors and Housing for action. “I expect that the board will hold another public consultation following release of the report and required next steps.” Last fall, LCHF contracted Gordon & Associates, in association with the Medically AtRisk Drivers Centre at the University of Alberta, to develop options that would allow the Andrew Seniors’ Lodge to become financially sustainable. James said the consult-
ants identified a number of options which included: modernizing some of the older rooms, marketing some of the suites to higher income residents, expanding the criteria to include residents with special needs, finding and implementing alternative streams of funding such as expanding food services to residents and businesses in Andrea and area, and lodge maintenance staff offering handyman services to the community. “An important part of the project was heard from residents in and around Andrew,” noted James, and much of that
was accomplished during an open house at the lodge on January 9. The majority of attendees supported the options presented to address the vacancy and to generate revenue for the lodge, that were previously identified. Other actions that were identified included: *Implementing external and internal marketing strategies to increase the profile of the lodge in Andrew and area. *Increasing the attractiveness of the lodge by designing the lodge to
Seniors housing foundation receives $80,000 funding boost Michelle Pinon Editor
Local seniors will benefit from a recent funding announcement by the provincial and federal governments. More than $14 million in joint funding was announced on Monday, February 27, and of that, the Lamont County Housing Foundation will received $80,000 for repairs and upgrades to its facilities. “I’m proud to be part of a government that’s working to make life better for sen-
iors living in rural Alberta,” said Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood. “Investing in seniors’ lodges and affordable hosing units will see new furnaces, windows and hot water heaters; practical things that will help make life more comfortable for seniors.” She went on to say that the funding to the various housing foundations will help them address the most needed repairs and upgrades and allow seniors to retire in dignity.

Opinion OP-EDITORIAL: When rural communities get left behind A small town is easy to miss. Unless we are desperate for gas or need to use the bathroom, most of us just keep driving down the highway in search of a more attractive alternative. The decision will be quick. It won’t involve much debate or thought because it will presume that bigger will be better; that there will be more options; that nobody in rural Alberta will really needs our business to survive. In October last year, the Federal Government sped past Vegreville with eyes only for the capital city 102 kilometers away. The decision was quick and it involved no discussion or consultation with the community. The government announced that the Vegreville Case Processing Centre (CPC) and its 236 employees would be relocated to Edmonton by the end of 2018. Despite having a successful and efficient operation in the community for the past 23 years, the Federal government chose to move these jobs into the City – according to them – because there were more options, that bigger is better. Besides, rural Alberta won’t really miss these jobs in order to survive. While the announcement initially left Vegreville residents stunned, angry and confused, our community is
now doing everything in our power to flag someone down and get assistance. For Vegreville residents this decision isn’t about some criteria that makes it easier for departmental managers, it’s about our very survival. All 5,711 residents understand that this decision will have a lasting impact for generations to come. Like the world-famous Vegreville egg, the CPC has been a feature in the community for decades. Established in 1994, the facility is the town’s largest and most stable employer. In fact, in 2016, $15.9 million dollars flowed into the community from the facility via operational services, rental income, and staff salaries. In turn, the workers who live in town pay much needed property taxes to support key municipal functions like road maintenance, water and sewage, and local emergency services. While the CPC is a significant financial contributor to the community, it also serves as the town’s proverbial fountain of youth. In a recent socioeconomic impact report commissioned by the Town, it was noted that Vegreville has a heavily skewed population of residents over the age of 65. The CPC has been helping to balance things out. With fewer couples having babies in Vegreville, the CPC has
continued to draw young families into the community with the lure of quality employment and a tranquil small town lifestyle. The financial toll will be devastating. But we know that if the CPC moves to Edmonton, it won’t just be the employees and their wallets that leave. Vegreville could potentially say goodbye to 420 people in total about 7.3% of our population. To a big city, a couple hundred people may seem like a drop in the bucket. But consider this, if Edmonton were to lose the same percentage of its population, there would be roughly 112,000 people hitting the road. That’s a lot of houses on the market with nobody lining up to move in. The resulting real-estate ripple would hit everyone. In Vegreville it’s anticipated that the closure of the CPC will trigger a 30% reduction in home prices. This is of course on top of the 17% plummet that the town has endured due to Alberta’s prolonged economic downturn. It’s almost too much to think about and the local job situation will be just as bleak. If the CPC goes, it’s anticipated that Vegreville unemployment rates will double. That means 16% of the community will be out of work with no local prospects in sight. Last November, Alberta’s
unemployment rate peaked at 9% - the highest it had been in 22 years. If Vegreville’s unemployment rate climbs into double digits, and surpasses most communities in Canada, will anyone stop to notice? Hard to say. But what will surely happen is more people will be forced to leave the community despite their desire to stay. As a result our town will continue to get smaller, older and poorer. We will be left behind. The frustrating part is that it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s not too late to turn around. Now is the time to ensure that Vegreville doesn’t fade into the rear view mirror. Now is the time for the federal government to reconsider its decision and help ensure the sustainability of rural Alberta by keeping the CPC firmly rooted in the community where it has been for more than two decades. The Federal Government says that rural communities matter. We shall see if they are prepared to slow down, stop in our community and appreciate what Vegreville has to offer. Or perhaps they will just drive by and carry on down the road. The decision may be quick but the consequences will last forever. Myron Hayduk Mayor of Vegreville

Bill 1 will make lives better for Alberta families Our government is making practical changes to make your life more affordable. A perfect example of this is the introduction of Bill 1: An Act to Reduce School Fees. Two years ago, our government ran on a platform commitment to reduce the burden of school on Alberta families. The introduction of this important piece of legislation is us following through on the commitment. I have travelled across the province and spoken to thousands of families in my near-two years as Minister of Education about the unfair burden that schools place on them. These fees act as a barrier to a public education, one which should not exist for students, no matter their circumstances. The previous government stood by and watched as costs on parents piled up every September - and they did nothing. This is money that could be better spent on food, clothing, the mortgage and other life necessities. Our government is doing things differently. If passed, Bill 1 will eliminate instructional supplies and material fees for the parents of nearly 600,000 Alberta students. Starting this fall, paying for textbooks, workbooks, printing and paper costs incurred by schools and much more will be a thing of the past. Bill 1 will also remove fees charged to students who live outside of the School Act’s defined walk limit and ride the bus to their designated school. All told, this legislation will save Albertans more than $50 million annually. We will also launch a series of conversations about school fees, and about what actually makes up a public education. Our goal will be to reduce fees even more in the years ahead. All the while, we continue to protect and improve education, even in difficult economic times, because we know the difference it makes in the lives of our future generations. We have committed to stable and predictable funding in Budgets 2015 and 2016 and we know that money has been used to hire 1,100 additional teachers and to retain 800 existing jobs that would have otherwise been lost under the previous government. So join me and my colleagues in celebrating Bill 1 and our government’s efforts to make your lives better. David Eggen Minister of Education

EIPS Board Chair: Managing for transistion
By Trina Boymook With the municipal election just seven months away, Albertans will soon head to the polls once again to vote for school board trustees—along with mayors, reeves and councillors. To prepare, the Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees is putting
together a transition plan to help pass the torch and ensure any changeover is as smooth as possible. While orientation is part of the transition planning, preparations go far beyond just that. Our Board is available to help people make the decision to put their name forward. We’re also developing a candidate’s handbook detailing important election and trustee information, regulations, key dates and required forms. And, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide for incoming trustees explaining the responsibilities, expectations,
time commitments, resources available and much more. Having these in place assists incoming trustees in understanding their role and how best to fulfill it. Overall, being a trustee of one of Alberta’s largest school divisions is a significant undertaking. It’s demanding, comes with a range of accompanying responsibilities and is also incredibly rewarding. Our Board is made up of nine trustees. We serve approximately 17,100 students in 42 schools throughout Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Vegreville, Strathcona and Lamont counties
and the western portion of the County of Minburn. Collectively, we represent both urban and rural areas within six wards made up of varying population sizes and geographic regions. Together, it’s our duty to ensure the Division’s $203-million budget and capital resources are well managed, that our students are meeting provincial learning expectations and each
school is welcoming, caring, respectful and safe. To do this, trustees must follow generative-governance practices, where trustees consider the interests of all students in the entire jurisdiction—not just a particular school or area—to make decisions and set policies. Our mandate: To ensure all our students realize their full potential and are able to flourish.
For those contemplating trusteeship, I recommend visiting the EIPS website. It contains a wealth of information about the work of the Board and Division as a whole. EIPS trustees— both current and former—are also valuable resources to help you decide whether to put your name on the ballot. Election Day is Oct. 16, 2017 and I’m excited about what’s to come.

From Where I Sit: Precious Insight
Hazel Anaka Every October I travel the 500 kilometres to our timeshare unit in Canmore for a period of relaxation, reflection, and hopefully a boatload of work. It’s a comfortable space of about 365 square feet but over the years I’ve figured out what I need to bring to make it cozier and more functional for my purposes. There’s never enough light for late night reading so I brought a book light. I bring a power surge protector for my electronics. This year I bought a paring knife and an extension cord at the thrift store because I needed both. I’ve already replaced the crappy little scissors (that make chewing seem an option) with a better pair for next year. I always bring a talisman or two, a candle or two in tins, and have relaxation music loaded into iTunes. Oh, and of course books, journals, projects-on-the-go. I buy fresh flowers for the vase I bring from home. Some blank paper and a wad of coloured felts came in handy for some impromptu sketching and mind-mapping.
On that same trip to the church-run thrift store I scored a nine by twelve inch acrylic landscape painting for $2.25! It classed up the joint and made a fine focal point for meditating. I brought a beautiful scarf from home to drape over the couch. I bought a large red plastic magnet to remind me of the Law of Attraction. I love the cream coloured scrapbooking album I scored. With thirty pages and a grosgrain ribbon closure it can house all manner of dream images. You wouldn’t think it possible to over pack intangibles; but every year I do. I’ve got big plans and ambitious intentions. Far more than can reasonably be accomplished in one week. This year was different in that I ‘unclenched.’ I slowed down and tried not to force anything. I did what felt right in the moment. When on my arrival night I couldn’t make the DVD player get beyond eight minutes of previews I decided it was a sign from the universe that I wasn’t to waste time on that. I did things I had no intention of doing and released things I had my heart set on advancing but couldn’t. I did morning pages (ala Julia Cameron). I made a daily gratitude list right in my Brownline agenda. I
started a slush pile of blog posts for an as-yet non-existent blog. I visited the library, had tea at Café Books, and ate my favourite Vietnamese
meal on my final night. I didn’t answer or send emails. I did no festival work. Now, thrust back in my life, my challenge is
hanging onto the good habits I created and staying of aware of what I need to be doing moment to moment to move my life in the
direction I choose. Getting caught up in everyone else’s ‘shoulds’ no longer interests me. What a precious insight, from where I sit.

Agriculture Service Board defers crop burning decision to council Michelle Pinon Editor
Lamont County Regional Fire Chief Dave Zayonce appeared before members of the Agricultural Service Board (ASB) March 1 to discuss the burning of unharvested crops. Zayonce said he was not comfortable moving forward with the burning of unharvested crops because spring is typically fraught with strong winds. He cited concerns over risk control and the possible spread of fire. “I researched this extensively,â€? stated Zayonce, and showed ASB members a copy of a County of Lamont bylaw dating back to 1952 that was against stubble burning. “I haven’t found out if this bylaw was rescinded‌.but it just demonstrates the historical value placed against this practice.â€? He acknowledged that it is a “very contentious issue,â€? and pointed out that if it, (burning of crops), was allowed there could be too many requests at once and that could overwhelm the fire service. Zayonce also pointed out that his department had not received any requests from producers to date. ASB Chair Dan Warawa said he has received some

Rural students in local schools were the lucky recipients of pedestrian safety lights recently. Christine Hogan, Safety and Compliance Co-ordinator with Elk Island Public Schools, (EIPS), told The Lamont Leader that a total of 565 bus students from Andrew, Bruderheim, Lamont Elementary, Lamont High, and Mundare Schools
received the pedestrian safety lights the last week of February. Hogan explained that due to an error with the manufacturer, the Strathcona County School Traffic Safety
Partnership (STSP) was provided with an extra supply of safety lights at no additional cost, and wanted to share the generous gift from Shell Canada with its neighbours in Lamont County. She went on to say that darkness is a major risk for pedestrians, particularly in rural areas where there are no streetlights or sidewalks. The reflective pedestrian safety lights can easily be attached to a backpack, and offer another means of increasing visibility
between the students and motorists. “We all have a part to play in road safety. Drivers can lower the risk to pedestrians by slowing down and paying extra attention when light is low. Pedestrians can help motorists see them by walking against traffic when walking on the road, and wearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing when walking in low light or poor weather conditions.�

Chipman Players deliver the goods in A Golden Fleecing Michelle Pinon Editor
The Chipman Players have the natural ability to entertain audiences, and during their opening night performance of A Golden Fleecing or…The Undermining of Sarah Sweetflowers on Saturday, March 4 did not disappoint the sold out crowd who packed into the National Hall. Lucky for audience members, they also benefitted from the culinary skills of local funny man Tom Hrehorets. Dinner was prepared and served by volunteers with the Friends of the Chipman Players. Many of the faces in the audience were from around the vicinity of Lamont County, others came from further afield, and they all left with smiles on their faces. “It was like the Carol Burnett Show,” stated one gentleman, before departing

scenes. But no matter how many bloopers there are over the course of the play, they are enthusiastically embraced by audience members. Another fella, said: “It’s like A Night at the Roxbury” which is based on a recurring skit on television’s long-running Saturday Night Live. When cast members forget their lines, the audience roars even louder. You never know what direction a mistake will take the actors,, which adds to the funfilled atmosphere. In addition to the banquet and play, one of the most anticipated aspects of the dinner theatre is the appearance of Samuel Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, played by cast member Bruce McGregor who delivers a humorous tale during the intermission. At the end of the performance McGregor thanks members of the audience, saying the Chipman Players are truly humbled by the support they receive year after year. In his usual fashion McGregor ended his remarks by saying, “we’re glad you appreciate the fine arts” with a chuckle. In usual fashion, cast members shake hands with audience members before they depart the hall. It’s that up close and personal touch, along with a little bit of Ukrainian vocabulary, and plenty of flair that keep people coming back for more. The play, that is staged in the ghost town of Elbow’s Bend and for the most part inside the Sarsaparilla Saloon, maybe “as stale as Limburger cheese and smells just as bad” as character Miss Twinkle Toes declared; Chipman will continue to thrive and stay fresh as long as it keeps getting its regular supply of off the wall entertainment by the Chipman Players.
the hall. For many folks The Carol Burnett Show, which ran on television from 1967 to 1978, it was a staple in their entertainment regimen. That comment was in and of itself a great compliment to the actors who are well known for improvising the script, encountering malfunctions with the props, or in this performance forgetting to put on a MissTwinkle Toes, played by Carol Stribling on the far wig during one of the right, listens to Sly Scavenger go over his scheme to get rid of Sarah Sweetflower to Big Bad Granny.

Improvements planned in Mundare memorial park Michelle Pinon Editor
Quentin Warawa Memorial Park in Mundare is a special place where family and friends gather to spend time together. In honour of Quentin, who passed away suddenly on January 2, 1995 in a snowmobile accident at the age of 13, the Town of Mundare along with generous individuals, businesses and organizations sponsored the beautification memorial project. Now, town council is planning to do upgrades to the walking path, and is looking for ideas to make improvements to the area before Canada’s 150th birthday on July 1. Members of council have been tossing around a
few ideas, and will bring those to the table when they meet next. One of the ideas that was brought up during a previous meeting would be to incorporate engraved paving stones with the names of sponsors into the path. Other suggestions included the instillation of planter boxes. In recent years, members of the Playground Society have added a spray park, skateboard park, and playground equipment into the outdoor recreational space which also includes a gazebo and picnic tables. As engraved on Quentin’s memorial plaque, “Quentin lived every moment of his life to the fullest, and the times he spent with his family and friends here was especially enjoyable.” He was popular at school because of his easy going personality and perpetual smile, and served as President of the Junior High Student’s Union. Much of his young life was dedicated to hockey, which he began playing at the age of five. He also enjoyed refereeing and was often seen officiating the Tom Thumb and Novice games as well as the majority of the Mundare Old Timer hockey games. Quentin joined the Vegreville Pee Wee Chiefs because there was a lack of players in the area, and was chosen as team captain during his last two years because of his leadership abilities. “He taught through his own actions, the true meaning of fairness, dedication, excellence and sportsmanship.”

ROBERT WARREN COLIN JOHNSON August 7, 1978 March 03, 1998 In loving memory of a precious son, Brother, Grandson, Nephew, Cousin, Uncle and Friend. I heard your voice in the wind today, and turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed me, as I stood silently in place. I felt your touch in the sun today, as its warmth filled the sky; I closed my eyes for your embrace, and my spirit soared high. I held you close in my heart today, it made me feel complete; you have passed... but you are not gone, you will always be a part of me. As long as the sun shines, rain falls... the wind blows; you will live on inside of me forever, for that is all my heart knows. May the winds of love blow gently, and whisper so you can hear; how much we love and miss you, and wish that you were here. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, Your Family and Friends TM09p ________________________

14 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, March 7, 2017
Minor Hockey playoffs: Over 70 at 2nd Bruderheim Novice Industrial Andrew Svitich gets hat trick in win Heartland ASP in Lamont Michelle Pinon Editor More than 70 people came to the second of three open houses slated for Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Area Structure Plan (ASP) Update on Thursday, March 2 in Lamont. The event, co-hosted by Lamont County and Stantec, was to provide the public with information as well as offer local residents the opportunity to provide their input and feedback into the plan. Scott Cole, Planning Discipline Leader and Community Development Principal with Stantec, explained that the current ASP was developed about 10 years ago, and the county commissioned the engineering firm to develop a new one in 2016. Cole explained that Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Area is made up of Lamont County, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County the City of Fort Saskatchewan, and the City of Edmonton. He said the ASP needs to be updated to reflect changes within the region. The land includes 20,000 ha (50,000 acres), and is part of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. He pointed out the benefit of industrial development to Lamont County which creates jobs in the municipality, supports regional population growth, and increases the county’s municipal tax base. He made it clear that the ASP update would not change the size of the area or its existing boundaries, but would make it more attractive and less restrictive, and would provide a policy framework for future development. The ASP would also outline gen-
eral locations of transportation routes, public utilities and development phasing. As well, Cole said that if the plan isn’t approved until after the provincial government implements new legislation, (Bill 21), under the new Municipal Government Act, those changes in the act would have to be incorporated into the ASP. Two options for the ASP were also presented at the open house, and ideas and questions were also posted on the information boards by attendees. Cole said municipalities were also invited to provide feedback, and expects more formal responses to be written before the next open house this spring. The final ASP will be presented at a public hearing for council consideration in the future.
