More than 300 Ukrainian dancers from across the province participated in the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village’s Celebration of Dance May 21. Dancers from nine different associations performed before hundreds of spectators.

The event is one of the largest Ukrainian dance extravaganzas in Alberta and was very well received by young and old alike. The dance movements, along with the various stories they portrayed were varied and offered great entertainment for the audience who took in many different events throughout the day including the unveiling of a special exhibit of Whitford native William Kurelek.

Iconic works of artist William Kurelek unveiled Michelle Pinon Editor

While May 21 is always a special day at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, yesterday was extra special as it marked the unveiling of Canada’s most unique art exhibit.

What makes this exhibit “unique;” is that it showcases 28 works of one of Canada’s best known prairie artists, William Kurelek. All of the pieces, are on loan from family members and private collectors over the next three months.

Many of Kurelek’s paintings, drawings, and literary musings are deeply rooted in spiritu-

ality and depicted in the simple way of country life he experienced as a child growing up in the Whitford district. Return of the Grain Haulers, Dust Storm, Nature’s Popsicles, Kushka and Measuring Cup, Farm Picnic, Barn Dance, and the Chipman Church are just a few of the eye catching and poignant pieces.

Born in Kalyna Country, Kurelek returned home on many occasions for painting trips. “Many people in the Edmonton area own Kurelek’s, including many family members,” said Jars Balan, who represented the Kalyna Country Eco-Museum, and Roger Woltjens col-

league and art gallery owner, who paid tribute to the iconic Canadian painter.

Kurelek, was a painter, photographer, writer, frame and gild maker in Toronto for most of his adult life, with a workshop in Cabbagetown.

One of the many people who saw the intrinsic value of his works was Woljten’s mom, who “latched onto his early works.” Also, a member of Ukrainian Women’s Federation, she also commissioned a series of paintings of Ukrainian pioneer women that are currently on display in Saskatoon.

One of his earliest memories of Kurelek was going to visit his

gallery with his mother.

“I wasn’t feeling well and wanted to stay home from school one day.”

Later that day, his mom decided to take him to Kurelek’s studio. He remembers the store front with soaped up windows. Viewing his art on the floor and propped up against walls made a big impression on Woljten, who later became an art dealer in Edmonton.

Woltjens also remembers viewing one of Kurelek’s major exhibitions in Winnipeg that he says was unforgettable, and something he personally describes as “spectacular in size and content.” That exhibition will be on display in

Victoria over the next three months, he added.

It was Woljten who persuaded Kurelek to visit his father’s ancestral village of Bukovyna despite the artists fears emanating from Cold War. “He is, and was one of Canada’s best story teller’s ever!” Woltjens recalled his first chance meeting with Kurelek in Stanley Park, who invited him to visit his studio.

Little did Kurelek know that Woltjens had a plane ticket to Toronto the very next day. He went to his studio, and was granted an audience. The first thing Kurelek remarked to him was: “Oh my God you travel fast.” Woltjens said he was lucky to have been able to buy

from Kurelek directly, and remembers those paintings, numbering between 10 and 15, selling out in his Edmonton gallery in less than a week.

Woltjens said it was quite a coup to have the exhibition at the Ukrainian Village, adding: “I’m overwhelmed by the fact it has taken place.” He encouraged visitors to see the exhibit as it houses some of the most important and valuable of Kurelek’s paintings who is widely revered, and has received and earned nationwide attention and international acclaim from critics and collectors throughout the world.

Car Crafters to host Show ‘n Shine

By Michelle Pinon Editor

Organizers are expecting between 1,500 and 2,000 people to attend the 12th annual show ‘n shine in Chipman June 3rd.

Lionel Thomas, one of the four original members of the Chipman Car Crafters, is expecting another good turn out for the annual event that see’s the population swell in the village to about six times its normal size.

“By 11 a.m. the street will be filled with vehicles,” says Thomas. “We had almost 300 vehicles last year.”

Besides the chance to talk shop with fellow collectors, participants get a chance to get up close and personal with some of the most well known and well loved makes and models of cars and trucks that have been souped up to the max.

“We take any make or model of car or truck,” adds Thomas. Registration is only $10 per vehicle. On average, the car crafters hand out between 35 to 40 trophies to the winners in various categories.

For members of the younger set, there will be a remote control racing on a miniature obstacle course, starting at 2 p.m.

Admission for spectators is a twoonie per person, and there are various opportunities to partake in some good old fashioned food, starting with a pancake breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Chipman Golden Seniors Centre. The Chipman Fire Department will have a concession, and the Chipman Historical Society will be offering a perogy plate at the National Hall.

There will also be several other venders and musical entertainment throughout the afternoon until the show ‘n shine wraps up around 4 p.m.

Thomas says the event is a great opportunity to see some of Alberta’s finest vehicles that have been painstakingly and lovingly restored as well as a chance to help out some local charities. In the past, members of the Chipman Car Crafters have donated proceeds to Chipman Historical Society, Homes For Healing, and the Lamont & District Food Bank.

The Chipman Car Crafters was formed in 2000, and currently has around 22 members. Thomas says the other founding members include: Alf Zips, Harv Hauer, and Rick Thornton.

Lamont teens hold successful 30 hour famine Students at local school raise funds to help fight poverty worldwide

By Michelle Pinon Editor

Braydon Berezanski wondered what it would really be like to go hungry.

So he, along with 12 other schoolmates from Lamont Junior-Senior High, got a taste of what real hunger feels like, foregoing the usual three meals a day plus snacks for 30 hours.

The famine began Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. Braydon admits to having that “empty feeling” and having the urge to “ask for food” but did his best to keep pre-occupied. “I decided to think about what I’m doing, instead of how I’m feeling,” said the Grade 7 student.

Grade 9 student James Anderson said he signed up to participate in the World Vision 30 Hour Famine, because the challenge “seemed interesting,” and he wanted to experience what it would be like to go hungry, and help less fortunate people around the world.

Other participants also felt their personal contributions of time, effort, and funds would make a different in the lives of children and communities around the world.

Organizer and teacher Erin Bartz described the event as a “big slumber party” where you get to hang out with like minded individuals and raise awareness and funds to help fight poverty in the process.

“Year after year we’ve seen Lamont teens step up to fight child poverty through the 30 Hour Famine. This year is no exception,” stated Yvette Brettell of World Vision Canada.

Funds raised will go towards World Vision’s long term development work, and are in support of its four global causes which include: food, safety, education and water.

Last year the teens raised nearly $1,600 towards the cause. The local teens are among an estimated 60,000 youth from across Canada who are expected to participate in the famine this spring.

Youth share a wealth of ideas It was so refreshing to see a couple of youth at Town of Bruderheim's open house last Wednesday evening.

The girls, 10 and 13 years old respectively, were the first to write down their ideas for what kind of development they would like to see in the community. Besides demonstrating wonderful initiative they proved to be young role models.

Often, the thoughts and ideas youth express are overlooked simply because of their age and what may be perceived as lack of knowledge and illogical reasons. Yet these girls managed to capture the attention of elected representatives, town officials, fellow attendees, and garner the respect of planner Jane Dauphinee.

The information and insights that were so passionately and eloquently conveyed by the youth was surprising and refreshing at the same time. Many were definitely taken aback by their honesty and forthright manner.

One of the girls even suggested having future open houses at the school so students can get involved. After she said that I thought, wow, is she ever bright! Her idea made perfect sense, especially since the town is trying to plan for the future,and around 25 years into the future, that’s when people will be studying, working and raising children of their own.

I'm so glad I got the chance to meet Alexia and Ashley because they, too, helped open my eyes. I hope they were able to open the eyes of the decision makers, so they, too, will be able to realize the value of their words.

Fields are not a dumping ground Dear Editor, It started of innocently enough. My husband asked if I was busy and did I wish to go for a truck ride. I should have asked more questions.

We loaded up garbage bags, disposable gloves, a shovel and a manure fork. Still I was game to go. Slightly cross country through our fields, following tracks from tractors. Rather peaceful in the evening coolness....to a rather large group of piles of garbage some

inconsiderate person had decided that it is JUST fine to use a farmer's field as his own, lazy, stupid dumping ground.

There are places to leave grass clippings, garbage and assorted other pieces of junk. A field is NOT IT! There were two piles of grass clippings, a torn jacket, card board, a glove, general garbage and a nickel (thanks for the tip) It is not only dangerous for big farm equipment, it is unsafe for

equipment operators who may be injured when hard unexpected objects am in the equipment, but it takes time to clean up. We used shovels, and manure fork to gather it all together, it took time.

I am reminded of a line from A.E. Milne “Trespassers wil”.

We are NOT your disposal site. It took you time to drive into OUR field, use the time and be responsible and considerate. Fields are to grow

crops, and food. NOT to grow garbage! It will not take more than a few minutes to take your grass clipping to the recycle location in town.

Dropping your crap off in our fields is not nice or cool, just stupid! As is dropping your unwanted animals off near a farm yard, figuring that one more dog or cat on a farm is not a big deal, BUT that is another rant!

Liberals fear mongering on changes to OAS Dear Editor, Having read the recent Letters to the Editor from the Liberal Party regarding Old Age Security, I felt it important to ensure the facts are actually reported,

rather than only the Opposition’s fearmongering.

The Liberals and NDP, as they always have, believe that there is a never-ending trough of tax money that will continue to flow incessantly.

The truth is that Canada is undergoing a significant demographic shift and soon the number of seniors will nearly double. The ratio of workers to seniors is also changing. Currently, we have four working Canadians

Kerry Anderson Publisher

for every senior; by 2030, that will be reduced to two workers per senior.

OAS will disappear completely if we do not do something to make it sustainable.

I think it is also important to note that

Michelle Pinon Editor

when it was first implemented, in 1952, the Liberal government established OAS as a $40-a-month universal, flat-rate payment for Canadians 70 years of age and over. In 1969 (after a five-year transi-

tion) the age of eligibility was reduced to 65. Two years later, the GIS was introduced to further help pensioners who had little or no other income.

Sports Athlete of the week Lamont sharpshooter developing passion for sport of archery

By Michelle Pinon Editor

A visit to the neighbours last summer has led one Lamont youth in an very interesting direction, and inspired others to follow suit.

Blake Fjelds and his brother Trent were in Murray Laronde’s garage when they got a first hand look at some targets and bows.

Curiosity took hold, and before they knew it the boys were trying their hand at archery.

Pretty soon they were practicing out in the green space, and loving every minute trying to hit the bull’s-eye. “Right from the first day, Murray said Blake’s onto something,” says Blake’s mom Melissa.

While she and her husband Shane may have been shocked to discover how adept Blake is at archery, they weren’t

surprised in another way in that he has really good hand-eye co-ordination that has come into play with hockey, soccer, and ball.

“If it wasn’t for Murray, we wouldn’t have thought about archery,” points out Melissa. Blake convinced Trent to attend archery night at Bruderheim School recently, and both boys have been coming every other Thursday evening for the past month or so.

Murray has also been kind enough to lend bows and arrows to the youth so they could learn the sport. Both the kids and Murray’s excitement has propelled other youth and adults to join in the fun and challenging sport.

“It gives them both something to look forward to,” adds Melissa.

It hasn’t taken long for Bake to develop a growing passion for archery,

and he is most proud of the fact he has been able to hit the bull’s-eye twice already. Archery is one of those sports where you are constantly challenging yourself to do better. “You are always trying to out do yourself,” says Melissa, who can see the competitive spirit within her boys.

Archery has never been offered in the local area before, and members of the Fjeld family are grateful for Murray, and a couple of other enthusiasts for making the opportunity available to them. They are also hoping there will be more than enough participants to keep the archery night at Bruderheim School an ongoing activity.

One thing’s for sure, Blake and his brother Trent, and fellow friends will be sharpening their skills over the course of the summer.

Eight-year-old sharpshooter Blake Fjelds had no problem hitting the bull’s-eye during archery night held recently at Bruderheim School.

Local students hear Smart Risk message

By Michelle Pinon Editor

Kyle Gieni knows the difference between smart risk and stupid risk, and lives with the devastating consequences everyday.

The quadriplegic also wanted local youth to realize the huge impact risk-taking can have before they find out first hand for themselves.

It was a message the Two Hills & District Victim Services unit also wanted to get across to teens, and that’s why they sponsored the recent presentation at Andrew School.

A bus load of high school students from Lamont were also in attendance for the three part presentation that talked about and illustrated through video the life altering consequences of risky behaviours. “There are so many things we regret; but some things cannot be undone.”

Gieni was on his way to a job interview nine years ago when the

Correction Please note that in the May 15 issue under “Lamont County approves 2012 budget” that it stated administration salaries were projected to be $1,891,938 when it should have stated administration department expenditures were projected to be $1,891,938.

brakes on his bike failed.

An avid athlete, who planned on a career in the military, had his dreams cut short because of the accident. “My bike was in a few pieces, and so was I.” He was discovered by a passer by

lying face down in a pool of his blood.

While he was considered “lucky to be alive;” Gieni said that after months and months of recovery and physiotherapy, and the heartbreaking realization that he’d never walk again, he seriously wondered if it wouldn’t have been better to die. Today, he feels differently, but he wouldn’t wish the same

fate on his worst enemy.

“I am lucky to be alive, but day to day living doesn’t come easy for someone in a wheelchair.”

He also wanted the youth to know that in nearly all accidental cases, the accidents were predictable and preventable. “It was the biggest mistake of my life; one that I can’t take back.”

The video presentation contrasted the stupid risks with smart risks, and covered things such as seat belts, safety equipment and training, not drinking and driving, not driving and texting, and looking ahead and being aware of your surroundings as well as realizing your capabilities and limitations.

Gieni reiterated the importance of self protection, but also taking responsibility for your own actions. “I’d do anything to keep you from getting hurt, but the only thing I can do is give you the facts, and leave it up to you. Only you can be responsible for your life; but make smart risks.”

Thank You

Thank you to all the staff and council of the Town of Bruderheim and Lamont County, as well as everyone else who sent me condolences on the death of my son Robert Jones.

Special thanks to my daughters Michelle and Kelsey.

Bruderheim’s future focus of open house

By Michelle Pinon Editor

All good plans are well thought out.

And elected officials with the Town of Bruderheim are thinking well into the future to help create a community that will continue to thrive.

Town councillors are working hand in hand with planners and the public to lay the groundwork that will serve as the foundation for growth and development over the next 20 years.

This past Wednesday, the town hosted a public open house inviting residents to share their ideas about what kind of development they would like to see and what would they like the town to look like in 25 years.

Around 20 people took the town up on its offer to attend the open house that featured a presentation by planner Jane Dauphinee of Municipal Planning Services Ltd., question and answer period, and working session where residents could submit their ideas.

“The reason we called you out here is to get information,” said Mayor Karl Hauch, who welcomed attendees before introducing Dauphinee.

“This is your document. It represents who you are and where you want to go. That’s why it’s important to share your ideas and opinions,” stated Dauphinee.

Dauphinee was directly referring to the

Municipal Development Plan (MDP), a document that provides municipalities with land use and development direction.

“We also need direction from you to identify goals and objectives.”

Mayor Hauch was very pleased with the turn out. “It was good to see a good turn out of folks that obviously care deeply about our community, as evidenced by their attendance at this very important open house.

“We thought the open house was a great success. We had lots of great questions and feedback from residents, and the information from our municipal planner was great.”

The open house is the first of two that will be held this year. “This fits in perfectly with our new strategic plan. It is important to have our planning documents in order to help us achieve the goals laid out in the strategic plan. The strategic plan lays out goals with respect to our economy and our community, and we need to ensure we plan and grow according to our vision,” added Hauch.

The main goals outlined in the new strategic plan titled Vision 2035 are: *To be a community of choice for people to live and do business. *To enhance existing partnerships and create new ones with stakeholders. *To enhance existing programs and develop new programs for citizens of all ages; toddlers to seniors.

*To upgrade and maintain the town’s infrastructure. *To be a steward of the environment and a green community.

“The goals laid out in the strategic plan will be achieved by ensuring we properly plan and budget to meet our needs. We will revisit the strategic plan annually prior to the start of the budget planning process each year and review what we have achieved, and what are the highest priority needs to be addressed as laid out in the plan.

Hauch went on to say that: “We believe it is always important to reflect on the direction of the town. We are in the middle of a heavy industrial area which has huge implications on the town. We are subject to inflationary pressures, environmental impacts, and impacts to our economy and the town infrastructure.

“In order to be successful, we need to understand the implications of the changes happening around us and respond as proactively as we can, rather than be victims of our environment. We also want to make sure we have a balanced approach to our spending so we don’t fall behind in any particular area.”

Hauch says this is just the beginning of the process, and is looking forward to rolling up his sleeves, along with other members of council and staff, to help propel Bruderheim towards a bright and prosperous future.

Liberal MP accuses Letter Benoit of recklessness Continued from page 4

Dear Editor, MP Leon Benoit is acting recklessly, putting his community members’ health at risk. He is supporting legislation that will reduce food safety oversight and make major cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

Canadians remember the devastating impact on many families from deaths caused by the Listeriosis outbreaks. We know that more needs to be done to protect consumers, but in a callous and misguided move the Conservatives are making the problem worse.

They have decided to cut food inspectors and eliminate programs designed to proactively identify unsafe meat and other food products.

Bowing to industry pressure, Conservatives are also eliminating enforcement of product labelling in spite of widespread violations.

nies’ claims about nutritional information, such as levels of cholesterol, sodium and sugar, are true. For those with serious health conditions like peanut allergies or diabetes, false claims could prove deadly.

Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy.

Leon Benoit, MP for the Vegreville-Wainwright constituency is under fire by fellow Liberal MP. Consumers will now be responsible for determining whether compa-

Liberals are opposing these cuts because Canadians deserve to know that food they buy at the grocery store is safe and that manufacturers’ health claims are true. I encourage Mr. Benoit to reverse his reckless position and put Canadians’ health first.

Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Party Critic for Agriculture

OAS is the largest individual transfer made to Canadians by the government and is completely funded by tax revenues. On its current path, OAS is unsustainable. If we do not act now, the Chief Actuary has projected the annual cost of OAS to increase from $38 billion in 2011 to $108 billion in 2030.

That will account for nearly 25% of all federal program funding and is unsustainable.

However, we are committed to ensuring the sustainability of the Old Age Security program for future generations.

As recently announced, the age of eligibility for OAS will be gradually increased to age 67, beginning in 2023 and fully implemented by 2029.

This means that Canadians who are 54 or

older on March 31, 2012 (born on or before March 31, 1958) will see no change and will still be eligible to apply for OAS at age 65.

There will be no reductions to the amount collected, and Canadians who are currently collecting benefits will not be affected.

These changes will not affect the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The CPP has been adjusted over the years and is sustainable for the long-term.

Is making changes to OAS an easy decision to make? Of course not. Is it necessary?

Without question.

However, we are addressing the problem in a manner which will allow these changes to be gradual enough that no one should be left in crisis as a result. We have ensured that the changes will be made with substantial notice and an adjustment period so that Canadians can plan for their retirement.

We also introduced two new measures for

OAS. In January 2013, we will start to proactively enrol seniors for OAS and GIS, eliminating the need for them to apply for these benefits.

As of July 2013, Canadians will have the option to choose to delay receiving their OAS benefit for up to five years.

For every month an individual delays receiving OAS, their monthly payment will be increased for the remainder of their retirement.

The Opposition’s reckless and irresponsible approach to Canada’s finances would put future seniors’ retirement benefits at risk. In contrast, our Government is determined to take responsible, fair and prudent action to ensure that the OAS program is sustainable for all Canadians, now and into the future.

For more information on how we are safeguarding the OAS program, please visit www.servicecanada.gc.c a/retirement.

Bruderheim School target of vandalism Evidence of spray painting on school and traffic signs

By Michelle Pinon Editor

Bruderheim School was the recent target of a spray can toting vandal who painted the words “Never Stop Loving,” on the brick facade.

Even though students were not in class at the time of the incident, Principal Sven Danzinger is concerned about the incident. “Although these issues don’t specifically affect teaching and learning, they do affect the operation of the school.

Vandalism also adds significantly to school board maintenance and facility costs.”

The graffiti had to be soda blasted off the side of the school, Danzinger said money that could have went towards other facilities, projects or the classroom instead of offsetting the costs of vandalism.

Danzinger also noted that several stop signs were also vandalized in several different areas of town around the same time about a month and a half ago.

This isn’t the first time the school has been the target of vandalism. It was spray painted once before, and had several windows broken.

After school closes at the end of June, all the windows at the school have to be boarded up to prevent the windows from being smashed in. That measure was taken several years ago following another vandalism spree.

If anyone has any information regarding these incidents, which occurred about a month ago, they are asked to contact the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP.

Archer’s invited Local Fish & Game clubs have created a recreation opportunity for Bruderheim youth.

The clubs have paid for equipment and insurance to provide a semiweekly archery program.

It is always great to see our youth have the chance to develop skills and have some fun,î says Bruderheim Mayor, Karl Hauch.

The program is a partnership between Elk Island Public Schools, Fort Saskatchewan Fish & Game, Lamont Fish & Game, and the Town of†Bruderheim. The next archery nights are May 24th, June 6th, and June 20th at 7:00 pm. The program will start up again in the fall, possibly on a weekly basis. The plan is to apply for grants to purchase more equipment.

We really encourage everyone to come check out this fun, safe, family recreation,î says Hauch.

Children of all ages can attend with adult supervision. Some equipment is available, but if you have it, it is best if you bring your own gear.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), May 22, 2012 - 15

Despite staff cuts, park official assures there will be no adverse effects to public programs or services at EINP

By Michelle Pinon Editor

Impacts from the federal government’s recent budget cuts to Parks Canada have resulted in administrative and staffing changes at neighbouring Elk Island National Park (EINP); but a key official says it will not have adverse effects on the programs or services it provides to the public.

Alan Fehr, field unit superintendent for national parks in Elk Island and Prince Albert told the Lamont Leader that in order to meet the financial targets that were set out they would have to restructure and improve efficiency. To that end, nine positions have been eliminated at EINP. Of those nine, three have chosen voluntary lay offs, and the remaining six were declared surplus, and employees will have a four month window to decide whether to remain on priority status within Parks Canada, apply for educational assistance support, receive a transition payment or opt for alternation job placement.

While they’ve had to reduce costs by cutting the number of managers on staff, Fehr says they

will continue to maintain the same number of frontline staff and services, so there will be no visible impact on the public.

“We will be looking at programs, and renewing the product,” added Fehr. “It’s up to us to make those adjustments and protect the public services.”

He was careful to point out there would be no changes to the bison program.

Over the course of the next year or two, Fehr says they will be reviewing priorities, management, programs, and services as well as developing new initiatives to renew the product, and revamp the parks at the same time.

One of the recent changes at EINP has been the installation of new directional and point of interest signs.

Staff also completed brush clearing around the visitor centre to improve visibility in addition to lightening up the interior of the visitor centre and adding more product to the gift shop.

Gary Harrold, chairman of the Friends of Elk Island Society, says he doesn’t know the extent of the cutbacks, or how it will affect the types of assistance, projects or services it offers; but he does say members will

not be looking too far ahead in project planning.

“I just hope it won’t affect the visitor experience,” says Harrold. He does know there will be some impact on Canada Day celebrations in terms of not hosting a citizenship ceremony, but says volunteers will still be assisting with cake cutting and various activities during the upcoming holiday.

“I just don’t want to see irreparable damage to the park system.” He fears they may loose interpretive programs or could possibly jeopardize its biosphere project, but he will know more for sure after the society meets in the next couple of weeks.

Harrold, who has lived close to the park all his life, fears a possible loss of staff, programs, and/or services will have negative affects, and may not allow future generations to know or understand the invaluable history of EINP as well as other parks throughout the country.

He calls the cuts “shortsighted,” and is adamant when he states that he doesn’t want such an invaluable resourse, one so vital in nature to be diminished by a lack of foresight.
