These stunning creations are the handiwork of Andrew resident Mary Fedun. The 82-year-old artist has been writing eggs for many decades and takes great pleasure in sharing her many talents with family, friends, neighbours and customers.

Pysankas, a labour of love Even though Mary Fedun says she’s “slowing down”; all signs indicate otherwise. Mary has a full pot of mashed potatoes and cheese on the kitchen table, ready for perogies. She has already made various other Ukrainian dishes for Easter, and has beautfiul psyankas on the dining room table, and is in the midst of a new pettipoint creation featuring chickadees and lilacs. She just finished a painting for her granddaughter, and taking me on a tour of her home to see some of the other completed handmade projects that are on display. Hundreds of hours worth of work have gone into her projects, and the 82-year-old pauses long enough to point out some of the challenging

and intricate details of each piece. Even though the 82year-old Andrew resident has had both knees and a hip replaced, a hernia operation and many other physical challenges, she doesn’t let any of it stand in the way of her projects. She can’t say no, and lends her time and talents to many different undertakings and people in her family, dear friends and neighbours. “I wrote a lot of eggs in my time,” says Mary, who always took whatever spare time she could find, to create new and different patterns. In the early years, she would fashioned her own kiska, and later on she bought an electric one. “I usually go by patterns, but I made my own too,” points out

Mary, as she holds up one of the black and white eggs that has her own pattern imprinted on it. “I just eyeball it. Because I’ve been doing it for years and years and years, it just comes to me.” Even though perfection has eluded Mary, her creative eye, attention to detail, intricate patterns, and beautiful use of colours is simply

amazing to behold. She has sold hundreds of pysankas over the years at various sales and farmer’s markets, and is happy to share them with other people who usually give them away as gifts to loved ones. Clearly, no matter if it psyankas, perogies or pettipoint, Mary leaves her indelible mark on all of them.

Bullet riddled stop signs displayed during recent Lamont County meeting Michelle Pinon Editor

Sharp shooters are treating stop signs like clay pigeons and using them for target practice. A report of the recent vandalism, and a few examples of the damage stop signs were brought forward to members of Lamont County council on April 8. Div. 5 councillor Robert Malica told colleagues that certain individuals had been shooting clay pigeons (stop signs) at Range Road 201 and Township Road 574. Malica said shot gun shells were discovered in the area, and he wanted

to make Lamont County Peace Officer Steve Crosby and other councillors aware of the situation. Crosby asked Malica if the complainant would be willing to talk with him? Malicia said he thought so and would pass on the information to him. Crosby said he would talk to the ratepayer, and also let the rural constable for the area know about the situation since it falls under the jurisdiction of the Mounties. Public Works Director Harold Hamilton stated that at least a dozen of the stop signs had been shot over the past 10 days.

The stop signs range in price between $75 and $150 a piece depending on size. With the cost of installation, Reeve Woldanski estimated it would cost around $1,000 per sign. Hamilton told council that public works replaced 47 signs last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It costs taxpayers money.â&#x20AC;? Once a sign is down, liability also comes into play. Both Crosby and Reeve Wayne Woldanski suggested putting information in the inFocus section of the Lamont Leader, and ask residents to phone if they have a report of sightings or damages.

RCMP seeks public’s assistance regarding recent break and enter at Andrew Gas Station Two Hills RCMP are seeking the public's help with any information in relation to a break and enter at the Andrew Gas Station on March 27 in Andrew. Surveillance footage showed that two persons

arrived in a late-90’s GMC Sierra pick-up truck at 5:35 a.m. One

suspect used an axe to gain entry through the main door before both persons went inside and stole more than 300 packages of cigarettes amongst other items and caused property damage. The suspects

remained on scene for more than 12 minutes before deciding to leave.

RCMP says the pickup truck used in the robbery should stand out as it has uncommon decals running the length of the vehicle across the fenders and doors. The axe used to gain entry was left at the scene and is currently being examined by RCMP forensic investigators. Members of the public are encouraged to call immediately regarding suspicious activity, especially in the overnight or early morning hours, and contact the Two Hills RCMP detachment with any information at 780-657-2820 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

$2.5 million surplus put into county reserves Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont county council was scheduled to meet with its auditors during its regular meeting on April 8. The item was listed as 7.0 on the agenda, and slated to proceed as a delegation at 2 p.m. at which time Chief Administrative Officer Al Harvey announced that the presentation would be going in camera because of FOIP (Freedom of Information and Privacy). Members of the public and press were then asked to leave council chambers. After 45 minutes passed, the representative from the auditing firm, Hawkings EPP Dumont LPP, left the administration building, and 10 minutes later, members of the public and press filed back in to council chambers. As previously indicated, the purpose of the delegation was to present the draft copy of the county’s 2013 audited financial statements to council.

Former county councillor and member of the Lamont County Ratepayers Association, Ray Lopushinsky, said he had never heard of council going into camera for a draft presentation of an audit before, and was clearly baffled by the decision. According to Heather Atkinson, communications co-ordinator for Lamont County, “The delegation needed to go in camera because it was a report on the county’s audit results, which are still in draft form until final approval at the next budget meeting. Because they are in draft, they are not official, and not open for public information.” Division 2, Part 1, 24 of the FOIP states that: “The head of a public body may refuse to disclose information to an applicant if the disclosure could reasonably be expected to reveal (a) advice, proposals, recommendations, analyses or policy options developed by or for a public body or a member of the Executive Council.” Atkinson went on to say, “Therefore, because

the auditor’s report included advice, recommendations and analysis developed for a public body, it falls under the Municipal Government Act, Section 197 (1) that states that councils and council meetings may close all or part of their meetings to the public if a matter to be discussed is within one of the exemptions to disclosure of Division 2, Part 1 of the FOIP Act.” Later on in the meeting, council made a decision to approve the transfer of the $2,526,750 surplus from the 2013 budget to the following reserves: Building Replacement Reserve - $100,000. Road Construction Reserve - $750,000. Road Operating Reserve - $750,000. Vehicle and Equipment Reserve - $600,000. Emergency Services Capital Reserve $75,000. Bridge Replacement Reserve - $240,597. Library Reserve $11,153. Council’s next budget meeting is slated for April 17 at 9:30 a.m.

Flags were lowered to half-mast from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday, April 9, to mark the National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. It was during the Battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917 that Canadians fought together in a battle for the first time. This is considered to be a turning point in history by many, and the beginning of Canada’s march towards nationhood. In 2003, the Government of Canada declared April 9 as Vimy Ridge Day to honour and remember the battle that took place during the First World War.

Opinion Curriculum redesign prepares students to be the best in the world and the best for the world, says CASS president Larry Jacobs My name is Larry Jacobs and I am proud to serve as the President of the College of Alberta Superintendents (CASS) for 2013/14. CASS represents the system education leaders (Superintendents, Directors) for public, separate, Francophone and charter school jurisdictions in Alberta.

understand that many of the jurisdictions which scored above Alberta in the 2012 international math assessments implemented changes to their math curriculum ten or more years ago; the same changes that Alberta more recently has implemented within the current curriculum.

I appreciate the opportunity to comment on a topic in education that is being discussed in our province; curriculum redesign and specifically the Alberta math curriculum. We are fortunate in Alberta to have an education system which ranks among the top in the world. It is common for officials from around the world to visit Alberta to learn about our K-12 system. With that in mind, CASS understands that to rest on our laurels of what we have achieved in the past will not serve our students of today and the future. One specific example that demonstrates the need to consider change has to do with the Alberta math curriculum which is generating much conversation in recent weeks. It

important

Larry Jacobs It is also important to understand that the changes taking place in education in Alberta are a direct result of the unprecedented public input during the Inspiring Education inperson and on-line consultations with parents, students, educators and community members in 2008 and 2009. Of tremendous significance is that 63% of participants in the consultations indicated that Alberta’s education system required informed

transformation while an additional 28% felt that the education system in our province required a complete overhaul. Less than one per-cent of the participants felt Alberta’s education system required no change moving forward.

ahead. To address these changes it is essential that Alberta’s curriculum, often cited as a cornerstone of our strong education system, must undergo continuous review and revision in order to serve students of today and tomorrow.

While we must consider change in order to maintain our status as one of the top education systems in the world, I want to acknowledge that the successes we have realized in education in our province are the result of the commitment by generations of students striving to excel and who are supported by their parents, their dedicated teachers and principals, and by every other person in the school jurisdictions and community that contributes to the growth and development of each child.

CASS supports the curriculum redesign process being undertaken by Alberta Education. Curriculum development has always been a collaboration involving Alberta Education, school jurisdictions and Alberta’s outstanding teachers and has been based on informed, researched practice.

In January of this year CASS hosted a delegation of educators from across the United States and they continuously commented on the collaborative nature of all partners in education in Alberta. I doubt many would disagree that many aspects of our world, including how people learn, have changed and will continue to change dramatically in the years

Kerry Anderson Publisher

Curriculum redesign will enable school jurisdictions and teachers to be involved at the outset of what will be a more timely review and development cycle to ensure future curriculum is engaging, relevant and inspiring for students, who should be and must be the centre of what happens in our schools. Most importantly, curriculum redesign will ensure equity of opportunity for every single child in Alberta, a key pillar of the Inspiring Education framework that is guiding change in education in our province.

Alberta’s curriculum, math, has been the subject of much commentary recently following the release of the results of the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). PISA is a world-wide assessment of 15 year old students conducted every three years. While the 2012 PISA math results do show that there has been a slight decline in achievement by Alberta students (approximately 2.5% over twelve years), I offer the following for consideration: *Alberta has a higher percentage of students complete the PISA assessment than most if not all jurisdictions; *Alberta ensures that students of all academic levels complete the PISA assessment; more so than many other jurisdictions; *The 2012 results show Alberta students performed well above average in math as compared to other jurisdictions; *PISA categorizes six level of math skills, and 96% of Alberta students reached or surpassed the first level which measures basic math skills; *Only 4.5% of Alberta’s students achieved level six of the PISA catergory, which measures advanced mathematical thinking; *The current Alberta math curriculum does

not “abandon” the basic skills of math but does also address how students can better apply basic concepts to complex situations; *As mentioned previously, many of the jurisdictions which scored above Alberta in the 2012 PISA math assessment implemented changes to their math curriculum ten or more years ago; the same changes that Alberta has implemented within the current curriculum; *The students who wrote the 2012 PISA assessment studied math under the previous curriculum; Some of the jurisdictions whose students scored above Alberta in math see students receive tutoring in math for two hours per week and also see students doing math homework for 14 hours per week. We must ask ourselves, do we want this for our children? To conclude, I repeat that CASS is supportive of the curriculum redesign that is taking place in Alberta. To borrow the words of Ken Chapman who recently spoke at a CASS event, all education partners in Alberta are working together so that parents can be assured their children, who are our students, can not only be the best IN the world, but be prepared to be the best FOR the world.

From Where I Sit: Indispensible

By Hazel Anaka Since the fall of 2010 I’ve had an iPhone. In that time I’ve grown to love some of its features though I’m sure only taking advantage of a fraction of what it offers. For example, I’ve never talked to Siri. I didn’t even know she existed until she was out-ed on TV when the iPhone 5s were released. I still haven’t taken the time and trouble to find out how to activate the feature. Or more importantly the ‘why.’ Will it improve my quality of life? Will it make me one of the cool kids? Will it be one more thing I take

the time to learn and never use; you know like algebra, the periodic table and how to change oil in the Honda? Either because I don’t have the right phone package or because I’m basically cheap I don’t use my phone for idle chitchat. I give out my number judiciously and use it on an ‘as needed’ basis. Even for those closest to me texting has replaced talking—except where it would take a novella or half a dozen texts to complete the message. The system for storing my contacts is great. If completed fully it provides name, business name, multiple phone numbers, email, URL, and physical or mailing address. Even a paperloving gal like me has to admit this beats the oldfashioned address book or sheaf of business cards. The ability to use Safari to search the internet for addresses, phone numbers, store locations and hours have prevented wild goose chases on more than one trip to Edmonton or beyond. Even I was able to set up multiple email accounts on my phone so

I can check all of them in one convenient place. I definitely don’t want to read attachments or pages of text on that tiny screen. Nor do I reply with anything more than a sentence or two; typing is just not fun with this phone. I’ve cluttered up my phone with apps du jour most of which I don’t use: a flashlight and level, puleese. Games like Draw Something or 4 Pics 1 Word were addictive for a while. Diner Dash, Spider Solitaire, or Hangman are also fun. But hands down, for me the game with staying power is Words with Friends. In the past I’ve played against friends and strangers. My main competitors are my two girls, Hilary and Carrie.

It’s not uncommon to have five or six games going at once. Like Scrabble it tests both vocabulary and strategic thinking. Knowing all the two and three letter words helps immensely. Being a bit cutthroat doesn’t hurt either! Having a built-in camera function is great though its features are limited. When a moose crosses my car’s path it’s nice to have that option. But by the time I stop, pull out my phone, open the camera function; he’s no more than a speck in the distance. So whether you’re looking to work or play or improve your efficiency, a smart phone is indispensible from where I sit.

Visibility issue causing a major dust up for resident living on Range Road. 204 Michelle Pinon Editor

There have been times where Doug Sullivan has had to pull his vehicle off the side of Range Road 204 because the dust was so thick that he could not see in front of him. That information was shared with Lamont County Councillors during the April 8 meeting. In a letter addressed to Div. 5 Councillor Robert Malica, Sullivan stated, “There have been times recently where I have had to pull off the road because the dust was so thick that visibility was essentially zero, and I had to wait for five to 10 minutes for the dust to settle enough to safely proceed.” Sullivan also pointed out that if there is little or no wind, the dust from traffic becomes “nearly intolerable,” and the entire valley of Beaverhill Creek fills with dust, and can remain so for an entire

evening. “Also, if the wind is anywhere from the south - through west and almost to the north, we feel the effects of it.” While Sullivan has contemplated oiling the road in front of his property, he ruled out that option as it became apparent that almost a full mile of road would have to be oiled because of the trees sand terrain. Because of the large number of vehicles from oilfield and pipeline companies, motor bikes and all-terrian vehicles, commuters and local traffic, Sullivan felt the issue needs to be addressed. Sullivan believes Range Road 204 is no longer a “rural county road;” but an “increasingly major thoroughfare” in the municipality. “I am sure that the folks on Township Road 562 west of Range Road 204 have some of the same issues although I have noticed that the pipeline companies do dust suppression on

those roads.” Sullivan recommended the situation be brought forward to the newly formed committee on industry and resident relationships. Sullivan also commended the county’s public works department for the excellent road maintenance done on the road this past summer and winter. Public Works Director Harold Hamilton told council that a vehicle road count was done on the road, and that he has

spoken to Peace Officer Steve Croshy and road maintenance supervisor Gerald Thorowsky in regards to contacting companies who utilize the road and see if some dust suppression can be conducted. Hamilton also said he had plans of applying calcium to a few 800 metres stretches of road on that road. Council accepted the letter as information and requested administration come back to council with a recommendation.

Mundare volunteers honoured for their contributions during annual appreciation event Michelle Pinon Editor

Glenda Dales prefers to work behind the scenes; but Mundare’s Fire Chief was forced into the spotlight last Wednesday evening to receive her Volunteer of the Year award from Mayor Charlie Gargus. Dales was one of 136 attendees of the Lamont County Annual Volunteer Appreciation Event on April 9, and humbly accepted her award. Dales has dedicated 20 years of service to the Town of Mundare and Lamont County residents as the Mundare Fire Chief. Much more than a simple volunteer position, the extent of her volunteerism and dedication was outlined in her nomination form. “Glenda devotes many hours to co-ordinating training courses, filing reports, and even cooking meals for fire courses, just so that Mundare Fire & Rescue continues to

maintain its strong tradition as a first-rate fire department. “Over the years, the Mundare Fire Department has been able to retain its membership and even grow. The new, young firefighters that currently serve are a testament to Glenda’s leadership skills and devotion to this department. Her many hours spent at the fire hall, or at fire meetings at the provincial level need to be acknowledged, and this award is definitely on way to do this!” Going above the call of duty is something that Dales does on an everyday basis, and deservingly awarded the prestigious honour. Sara Rindero, director of Family and Community Support Services for the Lamont County Region, tipped her hat to Dales and all of the volunteers in the locale for their outstanding work. “Lamont County volunteers are stronger than ever, and we have been

blessed with the support of so many people from across the county who have assisted to plan, develop, sponsor, and facilitate programs, services and events.” Celebrating its 10th anniversary in the region, Rindero pointed out that the programs, services and events which are offered, all hinge on the support of volunteers. “We stand on the backs of volunteers,” added Rindero. “Great communities are built from helping hands, of which, we have many. In addition, FCSS Lamont County Region would also like to take the opportunity to thank once again our community organizations, agencies and municipal councils. Please join with me to celebrate 10 years of hard work, building friendships, breaking barriers and helping people. Thank you for believing in your communities and providing us the tools for success.” Wanda Ryan, a volunteer with Mary

Immaculate Hospital Auxiliary, briefly spoke about the work the organization does, and how proud she is to be a member of the community. Speaking with unfettered emotion, Ryan mentioned her love for Mundare, and the people “with such big hearts,” who have made the town such a great place to live and grow. During the ‘Open Mic’ portion of the evening, Ryan, as well as Debby Gargus, (Communities in Bloom), Merrien Chudyk, (Mundare Seniors Centre), Shamus Brisson, (Mundare Fire Department), and Adeline Tanasichuk, (Kalyna Country Quilters Guild), briefly spoke about their projects, activities and events they complete throughout the year. The evening concluded with draws for a variety of door prizes, that were greatly appreciated by the deserving recipients.

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of communications specialist Jill Yanch and community services liaison officer Judy Koschade, a couple of samples from the meteorite, which touched down at 1:06 a.m. on March 4, 1960, was available for viewing during the Bruderheim Volunteer Appreciation Event that was hosted by Family and Community Support Services Lamont County Region. Dr. Herd, Associate Professor of the Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Department at the University of Alberta, was the guest speaker for the annual event, which had more than 130 people in attendance. Some of the best information on the meteorite was found in the Sheritt Gordon newsletter (The Nickelodean). Residents living in the area were “curious and bewil-

dered” by the astonishing event. “It sounds a bit like an apocalypse,” said Herd, which was discovered later that day by farmer Nick Broda. A total of 70 kilograms of the meteorite were found that day, and over 303 kgs in total were recovered, added Herd. “It was the largest mass of meteorite fall in Canadian history,” said Herd, who described the event as such a “phenomenal, fortuitous”, thing. “What does it tell us?” Dr. Herd said the vast majority of meteorites come from asteroids. “It gives us data of how the solar system was formed. It could have been floating around 4.5 million years ago.” He went on to say that, “We know the Bruderheim meteorite was part of a larger asteroid, and part of it broke off before reaching the atmosphere.” Dr. Herd said the university has correspondence from world famous researchers, and that more than 30 papers were published on the discovery. While there hasn’t been much research since the sixties,

Dr. Herd said with the acquisition of new technology and interest in the mining of meteorites, more research will be done in the future. “Right now we have an undergrad student analyzing the properties in the meteorite.” Over the years, the U of A traded 160 kg. of the meteorite to various countries. “As a result, we have 1,100 meteorites from around the world,” noted Herd. So while it may have been a local occurence, the Bruderheim meteorite has had an astronomical affect all over the globe. Dr. Herd said it has definitely put the community on the map, and he is so excited that the town has decided to adopt the meteorite as its identity symbol, and hope they will be able to find a way to permanently display information and photos of the monumental event. Following his presentation, members of the Lions Club handed out $10,000 worth of cheques to various community organizations. Members of the Lioness Club followed suit, and made donations to several

LamontCounty council wants property owners treated equally regarding landfill disposal fees Michelle Pinon Editor

The issue of garbage disposal fees was revisited during Lamont County council’s regular meeting on April 8. Div. 3 Councillor Roy Bryks, and the county’s representative on the regional landfill commission, made a motion that received unanimous support from the rest of council. Bryks motion directed the Reeve, Wayne Woldanski to send a letter on behalf of council to the St. Michael Regional Landfill Commission requesting

the current practice of charging non-resident rates to property owners who do not live in the county be reconsidered, given that, as the land is taxed with a requistion for payment to the commission that all property owners be treated equally. “There should be something that all property owners and taxpayers be treated equally regardless of whether they are residents or not,” stated Bryks. Al Harvey, Chief Administrative Officer, was of the same opinion. “Whether a person is from Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton or Timbuktu, they should be able to dispose of their garbage,” stated Harvey. Back on March 27, members of the landfill commission decided to delay the implementation of demoli-

tion and construction materials fee until its next meeting. Initially, the commission was to begin charging residents and non-residents fees for the disposal of construction and demolition materials on April 1, 2014. The rates were set at $80 per metric tonne for non-residents and $40 per metric tonne for residents. The items listed as construction demolition materials included: wood, drywall, ceramic and clay bricks, concrete, glass, roofing materials such as: shingles, tar or plastic vapor barrier, waste sand or gravel, plastics including: siding, trimming, molding, bags, twine and polyethylene.

Deputy minister unveils ‘Inspiring Education’ mandate Submitted by Andrew School Andrew School hosted a parent information and kindergarten registration night on April 7. Parents and community members were invited to attend this evening event on the current research and direction in education taking place in the very near future. The

evening began with a delicious free barbecue supper prepared by school staff. Four and five-yearolds, along with their parents, proceeded to the kindergarten classroom to meet the teaching staff and prepare for their entrance to kindergarten in the fall. Principal

Verhoeff, and Assistant Principal, TJ Kennerd, opened up the formal part of the evening with the introduction of our Alberta Education Deputy Minister, Greg Bass. Bass presented the new “Inspiring Education mandate and the changes this will mean to students and the

Alberta curriculum. Next up was Constable Mitchell Coffin of the RCMP Integrated Child Exploitation (I.C.E.) Unit. His presentation focused on how parents can keep their children safe online and offline. Predators are out there and wait for any small opportunity to form a relationship with an

innocent child. Coffin stressed that if any parent has a concern that their child is being bullied or coerced online to contact the RCMP immediately. Next up was Peter Baron of Elk Island Public Schools Instructional Services who gave an outline of what EIPS already has in

place to align with the “Inspiring Education” mandate and the plans for the 2014-2015 school year. As the presentation grew late it was decided to reschedule the last two items of the evening for another date. Presentations will be made to Andrew School Council at a later date.
