Team Maschmeyer to represent Alberta at Canada Winter Games in Prince George Michelle Pinon Editor

V e r o n i c a Maschmeyer’s strategy is to keep it simple and have fun.

That is what the local curling sensation told the Leader before leaving for Prince George, BC, with her teammates Breanne Koziak, Katelyn Skolski and Sydney Parent.

The curlers make up Team Alberta, and will be bringing their best this week as family members will be cheering them on from the stands.

Maschmeyer added that, “It is important we continue to support each other during the week. We really want to be able to enjoy the experience.

When we get to Prince George we are just going to take it day by day. It is so easy to get overwhelmed by everything that is happening. If we just take it rock by rock, end by end, and furthermore, game by game, I believe we can achieve success in Prince George.”

The team has been playing together since 2011, and are part of the Junior Panda Program out of the University of Alberta. That is very impressive considering

only two girls and two boys teams are chosen from Edmonton and the surrounding area each year to be involved in the program.

The team practices twice a week out of the U of A’s Saville Curling Club, and competes in several bonspiels throughout the season.

Maschmeyer said she has learned to handle the pressure well, which is very important playing a skip position. “I enjoy the pressure of the game and have learned to use the pressure to keep me focused. The rest of the girls on the team are so incredibly talented. The girls are fantastic sweepers , which makes all the difference. We always feel confident throwing because we know our sweepers can help to make the shot.

Because we have been together for so long, we know how to act around each other when a member is struggling. We know how to pick each other up when things aren’t going as planned.

As a team we have learned how to bounce back from tough loses and learn from them.”

While it takes a lot of commitment on the part of the teenage athletes, they have great admiration for the commitment

from their families and coaches who have spent many hours with them both on and off the ice.

“Our families have been a huge part of our success so far...They have spent many hours driving us to and from the rink, spent countless hours watching us play and have supported us through the good and the bad.”

The team also dedicates many hours working out, strategy sessions and mental training. The team is also grateful to have the backing of many fans. “It’s so encouraging knowing that we will have a strong fan base both in Prince George and back home. We would like to thank everyone for their ongoing support; with out the support from our families and friends we would not have made it as far as we have.

For anyone back home that would like to follow us at the Canada Winter Games please feel free to like our Facebook page Team Maschmeyer, and follow us on twitter @ t e a m m a s c h m e y e r.

Some of our games will be live streamed, you can find that link of the Canada Winter Games website.”

ATB Financial takes on the ice plant challenge Michelle Pinon Editor Talk about a big boost.

Ed Sperling, manager of ATB Financial branches in Bruderheim and Fort Saskatchewan, recently presented Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch with a $5,000 cheque to be put towards replacement of the ice plant at the arena.

Sperling also challenged other local businesses and individuals to donate $5,000 as well to the fundraising cause. If that happens, then ATB will pitch in another $5,000 to match it.

Mayor Hauch said they are accepting donations from “anybody and everybody” in order to raise $400,000 to replace the ice plant. So far, about $40,000 has been raised, and Hauch is hoping for more.

Sperling said the challenge is an opportunity to enhance a valuable service in the community. ATB Financial also is committed to assisting with financing of sports and wellness initiatives, community and social development as well as arts and culture.

Sperling challenged all local businesses to meet the challenge and pledge $5,000; and ATB will match that amount again.

“The importance of the arena shadows all three areas which are vital to not only Bruderheim, but Fort Saskatchewan and Strathcona County.”

Sperling, who also serves on Fort Saskatchewan city council, said they (Fort Saskatchewan) depend on that ice surface to accommodate some of their games and practices. That was also one

The Town of Bruderheim will also be participating in the Kraft Hockeyville again this year, and Hauch is hoping they will be able to obtain additional funds through the contest.

County council says ‘Mum’ for now on Bruderheim annexation request Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County council chose to say Mum on the Bruderheim annexation issue at its Feb. 10th meeting.

Al Harvey, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) with Lamont County, recommended to council that council “reserves comment on its position relative to the annexation subject to the outcome of the consultation process, and that although initially not opposed to the plans, further consideration is needed on the implications prior to a final decision.”

Coun. Roy Bryks made that motion, and it was

passed unanimously.

The Town of Bruderheim’s plan is to annex 14 parcels of land from Lamont County.

The only correspondence the Town of Bruderheim sent to Lamont County was back on May 27, 2014, requesting the county to endorse the initiation of the annexation.

The only correspondence Lamont County sent to the Town of Bruderheim was back on Sept. 19, 2014, requesting the town set out its reason (purpose) of annexation, and proposals for consulting with the public about the proposed annexation, and meeting with owners of the land to be annexed and keeping them informed about

Lamont County seeks public assistance There is a big problem with garbage being dumped in Lamont County. In the past year there have been 70 reported calls to Lamont County Public Works for garbage found in county ditches, and the amount of garbage found and picked up by Public Works employees and not reported by the public is significantly higher, with public works cleaning garbage out of ditches on a nearly daily basis. In March 2014, Lamont County Council passed a bylaw that states anyone caught dumping garbage in the county will be subject to a $500 fine, which doubles for each subsequent offense. Unfortunately since the bylaw has passed, there hasn’t been any significant reduction in garbage being dumped; therefore Lamont County Peace Officer Steve Crosby is asking for County residents’ help. “Anyone can call and make an anonymous report on someone dumping garbage. If you can get a license plate, that’s great, but even a description of the vehicle is helpful. We need to take pride in

our County by not allowing people from outside of it to throw their trash around. Anyone from inside the county who is dumping also needs to get the message, and that only happens when they are confronted and fined if necessary.” Peace Officer Crosby explained. Lamont County is calling for all county residents to keep an eye out for anyone dumping, or suspected of dumping or intending to dump, garbage. Do not approach possible offenders yourself, but report them to the Peace Officer by calling 780-8952233 ext. 240. Every report will help to clean up the county, by spreading the message that we are watching and ready to act.

Opinion From Where I Sit: Not the Worst; Not the Best

By Hazel Anaka We are barely back from our long awaited winter getaway and already it seems a somewhat distant memory.

This February for the first time ever we went on a cruise. Friends and acquaintances raved about how great cruising is and how much we’d enjoy it. Of course the only way to know for sure for us was to try it ourselves.

After some research we ended up at a travel agent’s office ready to make the plunge. It was around the American Thanksgiving weekend so there was a drink special on during that booking period. Up to fourteen drinks each per day to a value of seven dollars a drink. This, we’ve learned is a big deal because beverages are not included in most cruises.

Finally, it was time to go.

You know how productivity soars just before you leave on vacation? The mad scramble to get things done. Packing is always a challenge especially in light of baggage fees.

Catching a connecting flight in Toronto and the joy of security checks and clearing customs always add to the thrill. Not. The lineups of people looking exasperated or frazzled snaking through the airport reminded me of moving cattle through a crowding alley.

If we’re at home doing the

online check-in, selecting our seats, and printing our boarding passes; then scanning our passports and printing luggage tags; then weighing our suitcases and heaving them on the conveyor; then eating our own snacks and paying for movies, what in heaven’s name are we paying for? The days of passing a hat to chip in for airplane fuel can’t be far off. Sheesh. Though the new Border Patrol and Border Security TV shows that provide a behind-thescenes look at airport security do fascinate me.

The trials of air travel behind us, we board the ship and are impressed with the precision with which they do things.

From the embarkation/disembarkation process, to luggage handling, to the emphasis on safety drills and hygiene, the scheduling of activities, the friendliness of the staff, the number of possible towel animal creations, the sumptuous foods and full-strength drinks (talking to you, Mexican all inclusives), to the extravagance of the on board shopping, cruise lines don’t miss a beat.

Despite my best efforts to will my head and gut to behave, I did need the miraculous motion sickness pill to make my time onboard pleasant not nauseating.

The ports of call were fine but it did feel like “they” saw us coming when we shopped (or rather looked). That plus our weak Canadian dollar put a serious damper on our shopping. I do have a pair of 14k gold tanzanite studs and pendant as a reminder of the trip but not much more.

So, despite the sun and exotic locations, the luxury of cruising and all it offers, we are not sold on the concept. We felt a little too young compared to most. It wasn’t our worst holiday nor was it our best, from where I sit.

Letter: Alberta Government Bonds a good option, says resident The direction Alberta Government appears to be heading in resolution of the current "income shortfall" from energy prices will, I believe work against Alberta's potential sharing in the Federal Government's "Equalization Program."

The old "Equalization formula expired in 2014; the new formula I believe should be introduced after the Federal Government's 2015 budget.

This is not to say that increased spending or incurring a deficit is a good thing, it’s just that if there are other options, more favourable to

Kerry Anderson Publisher

Equalization sharing, they should be seriously considered.

For too many years Alberta has been “The Good Scout” sending billions of dollars to the Federal Equalization Program, while provinces like Quebec egregiously work at benefitting from the system by significantly reducing income/revenue from hydro power and services provided to residents; thru reduced pricing in day care, university tuition, hydro power to Quebec consumers.

Taxes in any form, once imposed are rarely withdrawn or reduced.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Health care premiums currently being promoted will add significantly to expenses of working Albertans in addition to other services. Many of these working people are presently over weight in debt. Major reasons health care costs in Alberta may have ballooned: 1) Executive and midmanagement salaries in medical and dental professionals.

2) High cost of advanced medical equipment and service providers.

3) High cost of maintenance and services in competition with energy

industry salary/wages.

4) Population increase and new hospitals constructed.

My proposal is for the government to issue Alberta Government Bonds to be purchased by the Heritage Trust Fund at competitive interest rates.

Bonds to be issued periodically, say quarterly as deficits are forecast to occur and cut back as conditions improve.

Bonds would be repatriated as government surpluses develop.

Respectfully, Walter B. Iwankow

HUMAN FOOSBALL SUBMITTED PHOTO

Human Foosball was a new addition to Family Day activities in Bruderheim on Monday, Feb. 16th. About 100 people took part in outdoor and indoor activities.

Skating, ice cream hockey, snowball fight, tobogganning, weiner roast, hot chocolate, and crafts were just some of the events folks tried out during the fun-filled afternoon.

16/60 Hockey League wraps up regular season Cont’d from Page 5 Lamont Pee Wees (115-2) ended the regular season streaking to three straight victories.

Other scorers were; Cody Onushko 1g, Caleb Oshust 1g 1a, Frederick Farrell 1g 2a, Tom Hoculak 1g 1a, Max Farrell 1g, Mason Pichette-able 1g, and Kalem Stuemer 1g 1a.

On Sunday however, Lamont’s Clark Jamieson was the hero scoring the winner on the powerplay with only 33 seconds remaining in regu-

Valentine’s Cup a great way to reconnect with family and friends off and on the ice Michelle Pinon Editor

The 40th edition of the Valentine’s Cup (Feb. 9-15) in Lamont was a family orientated fun-filled affair from start to finish.

Highlights from the week included the CFCW Critters charity hockey game, 10 men’s teams, four ladies teams, and an alumni game. In the A final, the Soviet Shovels won and the B final went to the Chipman Coyotes.

Organizers were pleased with the tournament, and wanted to thank the volunteers and sponsors for making the event such a success.

One of the organizers, Dave Taylor, said the event featured family generations with some dads and sons playing while grandparents and grandchildren watched from the stands. Taylor, who also plays on the Lamont Old Gold team, added, “We had lots of fans in the stands for almost all the games, more than in past years for sure. There was a good mix of other teams, family and friends watching, as well as some who had no connection to the teams, but just wanted to watch some local hockey.”

“The teams that played featured a really good mix of players, some that have been playing since the ‘80’s or prior, right through to some who were playing in their first VCup. This bodes well for the continuance of this fun event, further establishing it as a definitive Lamont community event.”

Taylor went on to say, “Players who grew up in Lamont and area, played hockey here and then moved on, make a point of booking the time off for this tournament every year. It is a type of homecoming for them, a chance to reconnect with the people and area that helped shape their lives.”

Taylor said seeing the family connections was a highlight for him, and he especially enjoyed playing in the Critters game. “We had local singer Madison Widmer deliver a great O Canada to get us started, and then the antics ensued. It was great to see the stands so full (over 350), again with all generations from the community in to watch the fun and support the fundraising.”

Taylor as well as all of the members of the organizing committee are hoping that the funds raised during the event will be a good start on the replacement of the arena doors in order to accommodate all members of the community who participate in hockey, figure skating, shinny, and public skating throughout the season.

BIG BOYS DON’T CRY MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Grade 9-12 drama students at Lamont High School will be performing Big Boys Don’t Cry to both a school and community audience in just under three weeks.

The Leader caught up with the cast as well as co-director and teacher during rehearsal last week.

Lamont High to host dinner theatre Michelle Pinon Editor

Grade 9-12 drama students at Lamont High have decided to tackle a serious social issue, but one that isn’t often discussed, during their upcoming play Big Boys Don’t Cry. “The students felt that they wanted to bring awareness to the social issue of child abuse, and make it a topic of discussion through art,” says Breanna Sorotsky, drama teacher and co-director of the play that will be performed on Wednesday, March 11th.

The other co-director of the play is Jody Stuermer, a Drama 30 student, who is required to direct a play as part of the curriculum. But the play is not just a requirement for Stuermer, who loves acting and directing plays, and currently

has his hands full of 22 young aspiring actors.

Sorotsky is enjoying having a co-director to help her out. She says everyone is totally on board, and excited to put their time and talents to such an important issue.

“The class is hoping it provides an opportunity for families and the school to discuss this particular social issue and to raise awareness.”

In addition to the Dinner Theatre on March 11th Sorotsky says they will be holding a school performance on Friday, March 13th for all the Grade 7-12 students and staff.

“Once this dinner theatre is conducted, with the help of parent council, we will have our curtains. We are so excited.

One step closer to an actual theatre....lights are next.”

Another first for the

drama program is being invited to attend the Zone One Act Festival at Ardrossan High School in late April. “This is the first time Lamont students have ever been invited to attend this festival. It is an honour and a privilege for our students, as well as speaks for their success on our own main stages.

Students are extremely excited and couldn’t be happier to attend the event.

Sorotsky says the best two schools from the Ardrossan festival will move on to showcase their work on the provincial festival stage at Red Deer College.

Tickets for the dinner theatre are now on sale, and proceeds from the event will benefit both the drama program as well as food classes at the school.

MLA Fenske earns nomination Glenn Hennig, nomination committee chairman of the Fort SaskatchewanVegreville Constituency announced on Friday afternoon that MLA Jacquie Fenske had been nominated by acclaimation as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the next provincial election.

In the announcement Hennig said, “Jacquie’s hard work during the past three years was very evident as she significantly exceeded the number of names that were required for the nomination from supporters in this constituency.”

When advised of her success, Fenske stated, “The nomination process has been one more opportunity to hear directly from constituents. I am honoured and humbled to have received the support of so many constituents. I look forward to working for and with the constituents in the Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville Constituency and continue to advocate and represent them under the Progressive Conservative banner and the leadership of Premier Jim Prentice in the next general election.”

Memorial Remembering Mary P. Skubleny

October 7, 1914 - February 24, 2005 As we remember you this 10th Anniversary of the last day you closed your eyes, We feel the presence of your spirit, still with us since we said our final good-byes.

You were our Baba, Boonia or Mom when we gathered together for many years.

You were always there when needed and to laugh with us or help calm our fears.

We were blessed to have you in our lives and in time, a few memories might fade.

We miss things like your chicken soup to lemon pies and the Paskas you lovingly made.

From births to deaths and everything in between, the circle of life goes on.

Through the best times and the worst times your guidance helps us to be strong.

May your soul always rest in peace in that heavenly place above.

You will always remain in our hearts when we send prayers for you with love.

Written by Mary’s daughter-in-law Janice

Faces of courage help raise $1,600 for kids with cancer

Carver

Matthew

Zander

Tanner

Sven

Michelle Pinon Editor

After Matthew’s sister broke her arm in early December and had to go to the Stollery Children’s Hospital it made him think. So when Principal Sven Danzinger started raising money for the annual Hair Massacure he decided he wanted to help raise money too.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital see’s an average of 220,000 patient visits every year. The event not only raises awareness of cancer patients, but a number of other charities including: Make-A-Wish Northern Alberta and Ronald McDonald House.

The other students who wanted to make a difference were Zander, Tanner and Carver as well as three other students whose names could not be released due to FOIP. They all mustered up the courage to have their heads shaved, along with Danzinger on Friday, Feb. 20th during the monthly school assembly.

“Today is a special and unique assembly because we are to do the head shave part of the Hair Massacure,” said Danzinger during his address to students, staff and parents in attendance.

Danzinger played a video depicting the annual head shave at West Edmonton Mall. Since 2005 a total of 10,000 bottles of pink dye have been used. On average a total of 10 pounds of hair is collected each year.

Altogether, a total of $9 million has been raised in the past 12 years.

“We do it to help kids with cancer...This is one way I can help, but there are other people who want to help volunteer to shave our heads. I’m really grateful for that because it’s another person wanting to support

MUNDARE SCHOOL Margaret Mallet, owner of His and Hers Hair & Esthetics donated her time and talents to shave the heads of Bruderheim School Principal Sven Danzinger and seven elementary students during a special assembly on Friday, Feb. 20th. our cause,” added Danzinger.

Originally Danzinger’s target goal was to raise $500. Once that goal was surpassed, Danzinger challenged the students to raise another $500, and if that happened he would shave his beard as well. He was thrilled to report that the “Bruderheim School team” managed to raise $1,694.50 with a few more pledges still to come in.

Danzinger told the students they don’t have to dye their hair pink to participate in the Hair Massacure.

Another option is to donate hair, (must be longer than 8 inches), to the Canadian Cancer Society which uses the hair to make wigs for cancer patients throughout the country.

“A whole lot of people had to synergize to make it happen,” said Danzinger, who personally thanked Margaret Mallet, owner of His & Hers Hair & Esthetics, for dying some of the students hair, and for shaving their hair off during the assembly.

Everything we do is about helping people achieve all that they can be. It’s about believing in dreams and building the hope needed to achieve them.

We engage, motivate and inspire by focusing on individual strengths, interests, real world activities, and building partnerships with our families.

We teach kids what they need to have successful futures. Mundare School serving our community for over 60 years. Come see and feel the difference.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Hold onto your hats. This is going to be one heck of a ride!

That is a promise from Keiron Willis, one of the actors in the upcoming play, ‘Play On’, which will be performed by the cast of the Chipman Players starting on March 7th.

There will be a total of three performances during the community dinner theatre slated for March 7th, March 14th and March 21st at the Chipman National Hall. Willis describes the play as a hilarious comedy highlighting the trails and tribulations of the process of producing a live play. Adding to the challenges, adds Willis, is an overzealous author of the play.

“This fast paced ride takes you behind the scenes of a theatre troupe trying to get ready for opening night. The chaos starts a few days before opening night and pulls you through a crazy dress rehearsal that will have you screaming with laughter only to end in the riot of an opening nigh where anything that can go wrong does,” says Willis.

Ironically, Willis plays the part of the director in the play. She is also the newly appointed president of the group, trying to fill the shoes of founder Bruce McGregor. “This year myself and a group of individuals from the players started the junior (Chipman Players) to which I am directing their production.”

As far as Play On, “We have 10 members who range in age from 14 to old enough to know better, but young enough to do it again,” laughs Willis.

“When we are working on a play like this, age really becomes irrelevant. As for experience, most of us have been working together for most of the five years. As for previous theatrical experience, as far as I know we are truly an amateur theatre group except perhaps our younger members who are involved with the drama program at the high school.”

For Willis, the most exciting thing for her is when the audience laughs for the first time at each show.

“If you listen, you can probably hear a collective sigh of relief back stage! There’s nothing better than having an audience that is clearly enjoying the show. It is a complete rush!”

The most challenging thing for Willis is learning

the lines, which involves not just memorizing them (the lines), but thinking about what the character would be thinking and feeling at that point.

“The most daunting thing would be those moments during a production when things are not going well and trying to work through them as a team to lessen the impact on show. Sometimes we do it seamlessly, others not so much so, and sometimes the results are down right hilarious. That is what is so interesting about this show is you can really see and experience all the aspects I mentioned.”

Every season the Chipman Players perform before 400 people. She believes the secret to the success of the theatre group is the local talent.

“Everyone enjoys coming to see people they know.

As for generally, dinner theatres are popular because of the live entertainment factor. Unlike in movies, really anything can happen and after you can meet the performers which I think people enjoy.”

This year Willis is excited for patrons to get a glimpse into “our world,” and recommends everyone fasten their seatbelts for what surely is going to be a joy ride.
