PC leadership hopeful visits Pysanka capital Michelle Pinon Editor
When MLA Jacquie Fenske formally intr oduced Jim Pr entice to a handful of supporters at Pomeroy Inn & Suites in Vegreville on June 17, she made a point of presenting him as: “The next Premier for the Province of Alberta.” It didn’t hurt either that Prentice also had former Premier Ed Stelmach near his side to publicly endorse his leadership bid for the P r o g r e s s i v e Conservative Party of Alberta. Mundare resident Peter Polischuk was non-commital as to who he might support in the race for leader, but fondly smiled and r ecalled when he was asked, or rather told, to be the late John Batiuk’s campaign manager during the Peter Lougheed era. “I didn’t even know what a campaign manager was,” laughs Polischuk who acted as Batiuk’s campaign manager during his four election campaigns. Having Batiuk as the local MLA was very beneficial, and helped create a “pipeline to government,” added Polischuk, or rather a waterline to V egreville and surrounding communities. “We have a lot of history here,” said Stelmach, who briefly recalled his initial bid
for a seat in the legislature. He said ther e have been a string of inter esting political opponents over the years. “That’s another story,” said Polischuk with a chuckle. Fenske proudly stated that she was one of the first MLA’s to endorse Prentice’s campaign, and support his global vision of Alberta. Prentice thanked both Fenske and Stelmach for their support, work and advice. Prentice has been campaigning hard since announcing his candidacy on May 21st. He and his wife Kar en have been criss-crossing the province since then, trying to squeeze in six to MICHELLE PINON PHOTO seven events a day .

Mundare School to retain its current name Michelle Pinon Editor
Mundare School will keep its curr ent name when the new school opens in September. That was the overwhelming response from school and community members who wer e recently polled by Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS). “The responses we received are a clean indication of what Mundar e School means to the community. Mundare School has a long history in the Town of Mundar e, more than 60 years, and the survey responses reflect the integral r ole the school plays in the community,” said Principal Tracey Arbuthnott. “We heard from 225 people representing past and present staff and students, current families and interested community members,” added Arbuthnott. Of those 225 respondents, a total of 212 or 94 per cent wanted to r etain the same name. “Residents of Mundare and area have a str ong connection to the com-
munity and their school. They felt very str ongly about keeping the school named as it currently is. There is rich history in this community and the school is an integral part of that history. With the overwhelming response from the residents to the survey, the Boar d of Trustees passed a motion to have the new school continue to be named Mundare School,” stated local trustee Colleen Holowaychuk. “From the town council’s perspective, we ar e happy that the name has remained for the many alumni that attended and graduated from this
institution. Any former teachers and students that were asked, most preferred to keep the memories and the name,” noted Mundar e Mayor Charlie Gargus. “My own feelings were that there was no need to change the name, but I understood why EIPS had to ask - ther e may have been a strong desire for new beginnings. This however was not the case, and it is nice to see that the r uling school board did ask, did listen, and did respect the wishes of the local community,” added Gar gus, who is also a former teacher at Mundare School.

Lamont students benefit from caring Christian hearts Michelle Pinon Editor
In this day and age wher e religion is almost an after thought, it is nice to know ther e still are volunteers willing to spread the Word. Lamont is fortunate to have two organizations who are teaching the W ord of God to local youth. Those organizations are the Knights of Columbus (K of C) and Lamont Alliance Church. Allan Borys, Grand Knight for Our Lady of Lourdes K of C, said it was former priest Father Adam Prysyzniak and committee members Stan Skubleny and Bill Letawsky who asked the School Board for permission to start the pr ogram at Lamont Elementary School. Soon after, they began teaching weekly classes. “It is a condensed program of what is taught in the separate schools,” noted Borys. “At one time two-thir ds of the students attended the pr ogram.” Enrollment continues to be strong in the program, which is going on 40 plus years; and Borys feels the r eason for its longevity is its dedicated volunteers. The K of C participate in several fundraisers throughout the year to finance the costs of the pr ogram which costs an average of $3,000 per year and covers the costs of instr uctional materials and New Testaments for the students. The other organization that offers its own r eligion program in the school is the LamontAlliance Church. Volunteer instructor Betty Zabel has been involved since the early ‘80’s. “Our program consists of teaching the tr uth of the Bible, the Word of God. We share the good news that God loves us, that Jesus died for us, and that we can spend our eternity in heaven with him. W e share

Religous studies has been a part of the curriculum at Lamont Elementary School for many years, and volunteers recently hosted a weiner roast for all of the students at the school to show their appreciation. with our classes the historical events occurring before Jesus was born, as r ecorded in the Old T estament, and the life and activities of Jesus during his time on earth.” In past years, Zabel said they gather ed together monthly as a lar ge group to sing songs of praise in the activity room. “Our overall goal is that childr en will love and long to r ead the Bible for themselves. We give each child in each class a Bible and teach directly from them. It is less ‘r eligion’ but mor e of Christ’s Word.” Zabel went on to say, “Students are encouraged to
live lives that please God, based on biblical values, and to follow his command to love God above all and others as they love themselves. God enables those who accept Christ’s love to gr ow in the fr uits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindess, goodness, faithfulness and gentleness). “These character traits, when displayed by the students in the playgr ound and towards their teachers, are the work of Christ. W e are so thankful that we have the opportunity to shar e the tr uth of God’s Word with the students.”

From Where I Sit: World Domination
By Hazel Anaka On June 19 th we welcomed media and other guests to the launch of the second annual award winning Babas and Borshch Ukrainian Festival, Lamont County’s tourism initiative. We were impressed by
and grateful for the media response because we know that without their interest and promotion our ef forts would fall short. Without exception they ar e gracious: from solo guys juggling a camera and a mic. to senior producers to morning show DJs to station promotion people to our own Lamont Leader. They truly want to bring their readers, viewers, listeners stories about fresh, interesting happenings. An Edmonton duo, Button Box Bill created a party-like ambience with their musical talent. Our tiniest, cutest, youngest guest Maisey MacDonald, created a stir with her dance solo and on her sixth birthday, no less. This little
sweetheart has alr eady won a couple of dance competitions and will be performing on Satur day at the festival. Also in attendance was Paul Gagne, Easter egg writer extraordinaire demoing this beautiful art form. I know now this Alberta Francophone took up this pastime when he married a Ukrainian girl from Mundare. Paul will be in attendance both days at the festival. Trev Ruberry of MEG Energy, our kids’ activity sponsor for the second year and new sponsor Ecoliner’s Colin Warawa were also pr esent. Our exclusive radio sponsor , CFCW was r epresented by program director Jackie Rae Greening and morning man, Gr uff Gushnowski.
We were also pleased to acknowledge Gail Hall, Cobblestone Freeway and High Stick Vodka for their donations to our Silent Auction. Fun, experiential, brag-worthy items assembled for your bidding consideration. Baba Magda and Kelly Scott, representing the Cheremosh dance company provided some great photo ops. Radomir Bilash and Slavka Shulakewych represented our society board. Radomir’s contribution of textiles, nesting dolls, mandolin and Taras Shevchenko artifacts enriched our colourful display of flowers and objet d‘art. During Jim Newman’s opening remarks he announced that Lamont
County is Borshch Capital of the W orld! I thought we wer e trying to conquer Canada first but hey, what the heck. Our new sign Keep Calm & Eat Borshch, the return of the Borshch Cook Of f, and the addition of a borshch demo cooking class taught by Gail Hall are taking us closer to our goal of (national/world) borshch domination. For the second year Sandy’s Ukrainian Foods provided the Ukrainian buffet of holubsti, pyr ohy, kovbasa, per eshke, and more. Joe Synyshyn of Chosyn Catering and our Zabava cater er and indoor concession operator ladled out delicious borshch to those present. Smachnoho! Lamont County
staffers Heather Atkinson and Matt Pustelnick were on hand to help with setup, tweeting, and technology. In my r emarks I reminded people that last year we invited all Ukrainians and ‘wannabes’ to visit Andrew during the festival. This year we’r e saying come back and let us help make some Bucket List wishes come true. With the launch behind us and the souvenir program now at the printers, next steps include TV and other appearances and attending to hundr eds of details, large and small. In my experience world domination doesn’t happen by accident fr om where I sit.
Letter: Lack of collaboration and incentives could prove costly for Town of Lamont Dear Editor, What every town needs is to grow its tax base, create more opportunities for those who live ther e and encourage and welcome new business. I see the growth potential for the Town of Lamont and would like to see the town prosper and help create an exciting future for the next generation. The town, like Heartland Hotel, is a business and like any business it must invest in or der to achieve success. I have invested millions of dollars in a pr oject which has benefited the town and to date I have not r eceived any reciprocity. I am very disappointed by the town’s decision to not collaborate with me and their refusal to entertain adopting any of the business incentives that are pres-

ent in many of the neighbouring communities. I approached Council and requested a tax incentive. I was lead to believe that there may be other ways the town could assist. I was af forded the opportunity to pay in monthly installments. It was most disheartening to learn that I had approached the town in good faith only to be told that I was “naive” and should not have spent the 500, 000+ dollars to build a water and sewer line outside of my property line and further should have known that the town would not have my best inter ests in mind.

I wanted the Town of Lamont to support and encourage my business endeavours and feel we were working together for the benefit of the citizens. I believe the Town of Lamont could be a place that attracts business development, pr ovides opportunities and is prosperous; but given the current business climate this is not possible. I am deeply concerned what impacts this could have in the futur e for the town. Sincerely, wim Jonk

Lamont town council members grapple with separate tax concession requests from developers
Michelle Pinon Editor
The Town of Lamont has recently been faced with two tax r equests by developers. That is no enviable task, but one that needs to be addr essed from time to time. For the Heartland Hotel, the owners were looking for a one time only tax break. As for Heartcreek Lamont Estate Ltd., the president and chief executive officer Zhengren Zhou, was asking for a tax reduction. In the case of the Heartland Hotel, it had already invested a significant amount of money into its multimillion project and had pr eviously paid the town $560,000 for water and sewer lines to its pr operty just of f Highway 15 on the west end of town. In the case of the Heartcr eek Lamont Estate, it was asking for an $8,000 reduction in taxes on it’s undeveloped parcel of land adjacent to Highway 15 to the east side of Highway 831. Wim Jonk, owner of the Heartland Hotel came before council on May 27 with his r equest to have $70,149.47 forgiven. Jonk had pr eviously explained in a letter to council that, “The Heartland Hotel has incurred very high costs in its fir est year of start up and it was the hope that the collaboration that was r equired to complete this pr oject would be acknowledged by the town and to date no incentives have been realized. “The contribution my company has made to the growth and development of the town has and will continue to have a lasting impact,” stated Jonk. He also pointed out that he has “incurr ed a variety of extensive costs in the development of his project. “For example, I was r equired to complete a traf fic study and storm water plan for the future. These plans will aid the T own of Lamont to develop its own property adjacent to the Heartland Hotel.”
Jonk also explained that the economic advantages that have been realized by his pr oject cannot be overlooked. “Currently, I employ 19 staff who live in or in the surrounding area of Lamont. We offer a healthy work envir onment with wages higher than industry standar d. Staff have benefitted from being able to live and work in their home town and ar e no longer required to travel gr eat distances for employment.” He went on to say that, “The Heartland Hotel has generated a gr eat deal of economic spinof f to the town and surrounding businesses in the county. Guests ar e using local businesses and the incr eased traffic has realized higher r evenues for the businesses as this was noted during a recent Lamont & District Chamber of Commerce meeting.” Even though members of council said they were sympathetic to Jonk’s situation, they said they had to be fair and equi-
table to all developers. Mayor Bill Skinner said that regardless of circumstances payment has to be made on seniors requisition, school requisition and municipal portion of taxes. “W e don’t have a lot of latitude in excusing taxes,” added Skinner. The budget is alr eady set for the year ...so if we excuse those taxes where does the money come from?” asked Skinner. If council was to make an exception, the funds would have to come out of operating, capital or reserve funds, which ar e funded collectively by all taxpayers. Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer said she will be looking at dif ferent options to pr esent to council on tax incentives as requested by Coun. Debra Dunsmore. Skinner also pointed out that council deals with each and every request individually and members try to tr eat all businesses and r esidents fairly. Skinner said Heartcreek is a “unique
situation” in that it has a number of surveyed lots, but they ar e located on undeveloped farmland. “In his case, if we did not give a concession he could amalgamate those lands and only pay $750 (in taxes).” Zhou’s request on behalf of Heartcr eek Lamont Estate Ltd. was granted based on the fact the company had installed signage along Secondary Highway 831 advertising the availability of commer cial and
industrial lots for sale and created a website as set out pr eviously by members of town council. Zhou said in a letter dated May 23rd to council that he had also contacted Doug Sullivan,Executive Director of LCREDI, and
Jim Newman, Economic Development Manager of Lamont County , for assistance with pr omoting the pr operty. “The business plan is under review with r egards to marketing the subdivision and pr omoting the area development,” stated Zhou.

Flagrant abuse of recycle sites forces closure of recycle yards Michelle Pinon Editor
Two local municipalities have been for ced to close down their unmanned recycle yards because of the flagrant abuse by some of its residents. Both the V illage of Chipman and the T own of Lamont have decided to close their r ecycle yards in r ecent weeks. While the T own of Lamont will be operating a manned out-of-town compost site once a week, the V illage of Chipman’s recycle yard will be shut down permanently. Pat Tomkow, Chief Administrative Officer for the V illage of Chipman, said it is unfortunate that the situation has come to pass, but the municipality has no choice but to lock up the yard. In past years Tomkow said staf f would have picked up some items that didn’t belong in the r ecycle yard and take it to the landfill, but with mor e and more instances of inappropriate usage, and less resources at the village’s disposal, it could no longer keep up the practice. “We are in the same situation as the T own of Lamont which had to get public works to come in and clean up,” said

Tomkow. In the notice sent out to village residents, it did point out that if access to the facility was r equired to make an appointment at the village of fice. Tomkow also said that if residents had large items that needed to be taken to the landfill, that could be accommodated, pr oviding they made prior arrangements and could help load the garbage truck. Tomkow recalled that years ago the village also had a r ecycling trailer, but that too had to be shut down because of abuse, which was very unfortunate as well. Sandi Maschmeyer, Chief Administrative Officer for the T own of Lamont, said, “The out of town compost yar d was closed because it was abused just like the one in town.” Complaints about the in-town compost yar d have been steady, added Maschmeyer, and council recently made the decision to close the facility. It’s last day of
operation is set for July 2. The out-of-town compost site will be open Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 Noon, beginning that same week as well. The Town of Lamont is also making a few other changes to its r ecycling program, going fr om a blue bin to blue bags. In addition, there will be one bin allocated for garbage and one bin allocated for yar d waste beginning July 2. “We are hoping that all the citizens realize that if they don’t recycle or use the yard waste for grass and leaves, and we take this all to the landfill, the town requistion will increase,” stated Maschmeyer.

HARRY PACHOLEK April 6, 1932 - June 26, 2013 In a quiet country churchyard With the grain fields all around We laid this tired farmer down A year ago today his tired heart stopped beating The heavens opened for his family greeting We will never forget that painful night... The storm raged on, thunder roared, lightning struck and rain poured down As we said good bye to you that night... All we could hear for days on end... Is his pain is gone...... He is suffering no more...... Yes, he is gone and he is suffering no more... But we miss him dearly and when the rains come down, Our smiles turn into frowns As our hearts rush back to that mournful night When your pain ended and ours began...... Missing you every day, Your wife Sylvia, son Michael and daughter Roseann Weleschuk, son-in-law Carl Weleschuk and grandchildren Kevin, Michael and Shanice Weleschuk

Student perspective key in setting direction By EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook The interests of students are always in the minds of Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Trustees, and this guides us in all our decision making. Three years ago, EIPS held its first divisionwide Student Conference. Up to that point, student engagement took place on a smaller scale at the school level but didnít include anything at the division level to captur e studentsí perspectives in setting the dir ection for the entire division and guiding decisions. At the first conference, students discussed the skills and competencies they felt were important for their future success, as well as the challenges and barriers they faced r elated to technology.Following the first student conference, it became apparent the immense value of tapping into the views of this important stake-
holder. Hearing their perspectives has allowed us to become more focused on what matters the most. What we hear d at the first conference and those that followed has guided us in working toward collaborative and engaging learning environments and making decisions around our investment in technology. We haven’t limited ourselves to just the annual conference to seek out students’ views. We now give consideration to the degr ee of impact on students when establishing various division committees. This determines if a student voice is needed on the committee in addition to student consultations held at individual schools. To accommodate student representatives, we try to hold these particular committee meetings after school hours so our

This level of engagement has helped students become mor e invested in their school and their learning. Having your views incorporated in decision making is very empowering. Our hope is this sense of empowerment will encourage them to get involved in their communities in gr eater ways long after their time with EIPS.As a division, we ar e becoming
more intentional in the what, when, and how we engage students in the evolution of education in EIPS.

Tapping into this important perspective will help Trustees better understand the issues that are most important to students and how we can best support their learning.

Australian band ready to march into Bruderheim for Canada Day celebrations
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE MARCHING KOALAS
Fifty members of the Marching Koalas band from Australia will be performing during the Canada Day parade in Bruderheim on July 1 which kicks off at 11 a.m. on Queen Street. Michelle Pinon Editor
They’ve played for royalty, at the house that Walt built, and soon they will be entering the Home of the Bruderheim Meteorite. Members of Mar ching Koalas will be bringing their brand of entertainment from down under to Bruderheim to help celebrate Canada Day Aussie style. The marching band’s motto is “Entertainment on the Move” and they will be performing in the Canada Day Parade before heading to Cowtown for the Calgary Stampede. Band manager Geof f Lynch is excited to be bringing his tr oupe to Canada and showcasing the musicians world class abilities. The band consists of musicians, flags, banner and batons and its mascot is Kimmy Koala who accompanies the band at performances. Lynch, who has been with the band since its inception 32 years ago, says the Mar ching Koalas have r epresented the Hunter Region on many world stages pr omoting the r egion through performances and ambassadorship. Over 2,000 of the Hunter’s young people have been involved in the band since the beginning and has been recognized internationally for its musical ability. Lynch says for most of the band members, it will be their first out-of country tour and ar e
looking forward to the many opportunities, cultural and otherwise, they will encounter during their two week stay in Canada. This will be the band’s 15th international tour, and will include a total of 50 performers who range between the ages of 12 to 22. “We are so looking forward to this trip that has been two years in the planning. Our group has had many activities to fund the tour and now that it is a r eality, we are sure it will be all worth it. Our mascot, Kimmy the Koala will be a popular figure with the young ones,” guarantees Lynch. In terms of expectations, Lynch adds, “W e think this will be one of the best tours ever as we will be playing in so many great locations and meeting so many new people.” Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch is just as excited about the exciting addition to this year’s list of parade entries. “For my part, this will be a r eally big event for our town. The Marching Koalas band has been all ar ound the world and they chose to come to Br uderheim, amazing huh!” Lynch says the band has celebrated Canada Day in Canmor e and Banff. “Our friends in Red Deer suggested that Bruderheim may have been a possibility and so I contacted Mayor Hauch who welcomed the idea of us being in his town as part of Canada Day celebrations. It has grown from there and the Town of Bruderheim
has gone out of their way to make us feel so welcome even befor e we arrive. We think these two days in Br uderheim may be the highlight of our tour experiencing great Canadian country hospitality.” Hauch has been impressed with the efforts of many folks from our friends in business and industry who were able to secure mon-
etary support for the Koalas visit without having to use any town tax money. “All of the folks in the town of fice and the town volunteers involved have been truly amazing with all of their efforts to pull of f this feat...For a small town of only 1,300 souls this is amazing.” Hauch went on to say , “This kind of ventur e will allow our town folks
to feel good about our events and have pride in our community...” It is also important to note there are many other exciting events planned on Canada Day, added Hauch, such as the CN Rail mini train “Little Obie”, the dunk tank action for charity , the pancake br eakkie, the lunch for parade participants, the supper meal at the hall, the
street dance and fir eworks. There are several other events planned for the day including a demonstration by Dog On It Agility, horse drawn wagon rides sponsor ed by councillor Geor ge Campbell, old fashioned fiddlers, clown and caricature artists, and many family based activities throughout the day.

Babas & Borshch media launch whets appetite Michelle Pinon Editor
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The hospitality was more than gracious. The performers were amazing. The food was as terrific as it smelled. So needless to say I was almost at a loss for words when Baba Magda, official ambassador for the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival came by to say hi during the official media launch June 19 in Edmonton. “I teach you how to do the perogy dance,” stated Baba Magda. She also encouraged everyone to bring their own buck list and have fun with the whole family during the second annual festival that will take place August 23 and 24 in
Andrew. New to the line up of events is Baba’s Kitchen that will featur e scheduled and dr op in activities and pr esentations. Participants are encouraged to watch videos, demos, play Hola or Durak, listen to speakers or take part in storytelling or Open Mic joke telling sessions. Also new for this year will be Chef Gail Hall’s Borshch Making Demo Class as well as blacksmith Skyler Hof fos’ forging talents. Both Baba’s Bazaar and the Outdoor Music Jam have been extended to both days. Festival co-ordinator Hazel Anaka was also excited to introduce performers Bill Okrainec and Eugene Kozak with Button Box Bill, Ukrainian Easter Egg writer Paul Gagne, six-
year-old Ukrainian dancer Maisey MacDonald and Kelly Scott, one of the senior dancers with Cheremosh Dance Company. There will be plenty of fun for everyone, and Anaka said Thistle Hill Petting Zoo will be around all day Aug. 24th. On that day ther e will also be a r eaffirmation ceremony for Canadian citizens. There will be display and tributes to honour the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ukraine’s most famous son T aras Shevchenk. There will also be a presentation by survivor descendants of the WW1 Enemy Aliens Internment Camps. Demonstrations, activities and speakers will also be on location at the Ukrainian Church, CP Station Museum and Grain Elevator
Andrew Sport Off weekend ready to roll once more Michelle Pinon Editor
Smash ‘em. Bash ‘em. Crash ‘em. That’s a lot of what will be happening during this weekend’s Andrew Sport Off. There will be sand drags, mud bogs and demolition derby for thrill seekers as well as a lot of kids and adult based activities during the packed thr ee day event on June 27, 28, and 29th. “Andrew Sportoff has been running for approximately 50 years. It is the annual sports days for Andrew.The Canadian Mud Racing Organization, (CMRO) mud races have been in Andrew for about 25 years. The annual attendance is usually about 800-1000 people. The sportoff used to have its own society but has now become an entity of the Ag. Society. We oversee the running of the event and have now for about five years,” says volunteer organizer Carri Hrehorets. Friday evening will feature racing action
along as well as live bands. Saturday is an all day affair that will start with a pancake breakfast at the fire hall. Festivities will move to main str eet for a 10 a.m. parade, and onto the community centre for a Farmers Market. There will be slo pitch games all day long, and plenty of kids activities. Mud Bogs and Sand Drags will go thr oughout the afternoon and the Demo Derby will be front and centre from 710 p.m. Ther e will be a dance and fir eworks to round out the evening. More flapjacks will be
cooked and served during the Lions Club pancake breakfast Sunday morning and mor e racing action, slo pitch and kids activities to r ound out the day . The Ag Society Go Gr een Raffle is being drawn on Sunday at sportoff. “It is our annual raf fle. This year we are raffling off a 2014 John Deere Gator, a John Deere rising lawn mower, and thr ee cash prizes,” adds Hrehorets. The Sport Off is a great way to kick of f summer; so why not kick back and have some fun in Andrew?

In the wor ds of Baba Magda, “We want you there. You’re coming, right?” With that kind of invitation, how could any Ukrainian and “Wanna Be” Ukrainian resist?
