Lamont man wins $50 million jackpot!

PHOTO LARRY WONG - EDMONTON JOURNAL

Lamont resident Randall Rush told reporters during a press conference at the Alberta Liquor & Gaming Commission (ALGA) office in St. Albert on Feb. 6 that he was very close to being homeless when he was a young adult. Rush also thanked his friend Darrell for his kindness and compassion. “Darrell took me in after my house burn’t down 12 years ago.” Rush said he will never forget Darrell’s generosity, and the kindess of other friends, and vowed to spend the rest of his life “to feed hungry kids and homeless children”.

Courtesy of the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission What started with a routine food run for his cat, "Conway Kitty", turned into a dream come true for Randall Rush of Lamont.

Rush discovered he was the winner of the January 16 LOTTO MAX draw, making him a millionaire 50 times over!

“I went to the store to get cat food,” he remembered. “While I was there I thought I would check my tickets. I scanned a few and the very last one I checked was the winner.”

Rush could hardly contain his excitement as he spoke about how he reacted to the news.

“My eyes popped out of my head,” he said. “I think I started hyperventilating. I was screaming; the girl at the till was screaming. It’s a lot of money!”

Now that he’s $50 million richer, Rush says he realizes just how important it is for him to stay grounded. This new outlook is shaping the way he plans to

use his winnings.

“You know, you can enjoy life, but you can’t take it with you,” he said. “Having his much money is a huge responsibility. If I can benefit something with this money I’m going to.”

Rush said he had thought for years that if he ever won the lottery he would put most of his winnings in a trust fund to benefit charities and humanitarian efforts worldwide. Now that he has won, this is exactly what he’s planning to do.

The idea of starting a trust fund was inspired by Alfred Nobel, who left the majority of his wealth in trust to create what is now the Nobel Prize. “A lot of people have nothing and I have so much,” he said. “I want the money to do a lot of good even after I am gone.”

After setting up this trust fund and assuring it will continue to prosper for years to come, Rush says he will spend some of the money on himself. “I’m a car nut,” he explained. “My mom has always said that before I knew how to read, I knew my cars. I’m going

to get a ‘65 Corvette. There will be a few new cars, let’s just leave it at that!”

The winning LOTTO MAX numbers from the January 16 draw were 6, 29, 30, 31, 36, 42, and 45 with 32 as the bonus. Rush bought his winning ticket at Lamont Grocery and matched all seven drawn numbers to win the jackpot.

Lamont County to take over fire services from the Village of Andrew Michelle Pinon Editor Lamont County council held an emergency meeting on Tuesday, Feb.3 to discuss fire services and coverage for the Village of Andrew.

Reeve Wayne Woldanski called the meeting to order at 4:08 p.m. Woldanski asked Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Al Harvey to review the correspondence he received yesterday (Feb. 2) from the Village of Andrew and expedite a fire services agreement with the Village of Andrew, and re-establish the Andrew Fire Department.

The correspondence was a letter from Andrew Mayor Heather Tait advising Reeve Woldanski and the rest of council that the Village of Andrew council held a special meeting earlier in the day.

The letter went on to state that, “Councillor Feniak moved that as per the recommendation of the council emergency meeting of Jan. 30, 2015 that the Village of Andrew enter into a Regional Fire Contract with Lamont County for provision of services to the Village of Andrew, effective immediately.�

The motion was carried unanimously.

Lamont County Fire Chief and Emergency Services Co-ordinator Randy Siemens was asked to walk council through his draft agreement with the members of council.

Siemens told council

the proposed draft agreement would be similar in form to the existing one, but the county would be providing fire services to the Village of Andrew instead of the other way around. “We would provide services to Andrew,� pointed out Siemens. “In the meantime we have to try reestablish services and not rely on mutual aid,� added Siemens.

Coun. Dan Warawa then made the motion to accept the village’s letter and begin to work on redevelopment of Andrew Emergency Services. The motion was carried unanimously.

CAO Harvey explained to council that, “Instead of them (Andrew), providing services to us (county), we are going to provide the services to them. The only thing they (Andrew) provide to us are the hall and lights, and we provide equipment, supplies, and janitorial.�

Harvey added that Andrew would still be responsible for hydrants.

The county would also provide emergency dispatch, equipment, radios, and insurance.

Harvey said the firefighters are “paid on call� employees of Lamont County. “They provide the facility, but we are going to man it,� noted Harvey. “In turn we are getting their building?� asked coun. Warawa. Reeve Woldanski explained the county would lease the building from the village. Coun. Warawa also

asked if the part of the building they would be using would be severed off from public works?

Siemens said that was the plan, and would be talking with public works to make arrangements to have all three fire trucks in the bays so the area could be locked up. “It would be a secured location for a fire hall,� added Harvey.

Harvey said there are a lot of counties who provide fire services to smaller community. “The most recent example of this is Thorsby who receives services from Leduc.� Other counties operating under a regional system include Beaver County and Sturgeon, noted Harvey. “Is there a lot of equipment we have to service,� asked coun.

Warawa? “No,� replied Siemens. He did say there might be some extrication equipment that may have been purchased through fundraising that may have to be considered. “There would still only be one department,� querried coun. Robert Malica. “We would manage it and do the paperwork,� replied Siemens. Coun. Roy Bryks suggested they identify what is county equipment in the proposed agreement.

Siemens also pointed out that 95 per cent of the call volume is in Lamont County. The only details to work out are administrative in nature, ie insurance, payroll, proper forms and documents to be signed.

Coun. Warawa said the

county would have all the control, to which coun. Malica said, “Then they (village) don’t have to worry about it.�

Council also made the motion to provide a draft copy of the proposed agreement to the Village of Andrew for review. In the meantime, county council will be reviewing the draft document at its regular meeting today, (Feb. 10th.)

Coun. Bryks made the motion to direct administration to immediately re-establish the Andrew Fire Department. The motion was passed unanimously.

Siemens personally thanked council and administration for their support.

Reeve Woldanski said fire services certainly affects rural residents and were happy to assist. “We’re lucky it happened when we were not in fire season,� noted coun. Warawa, and the meeting was adjourned at 4:48 p.m.

New Agreement Andrew Mayor Heather Tait says she and the rest of the members of council voted in favour of entering into a “Regional Fire Contract with Lamont County� for the provision of services to the Village of Andrew at the Jan. 30th emergency council meeting, “Because the truck and the department stays in Andrew.�

Mayor Tait also stated that, “Lamont County is running the department...effective immediately.�

She went on to say, “Everything remains as is, other than managing partner things that will remain as they were.�

According to Randy Siemens, Fire Chief and Emergency Services Co-ordinator for Lamont County, he said insurance rates will not change because it is based on fire coverage available and distance to fire hydrants. Since the fire service will continue to operate out of the Village of Andrew insurance will stay the same.

Siemens added that mutual aid is still running as they do some reorganization and tweaking of the fire department, but Siemens was hopeful a crew would be ready to respond out of Andrew in the coming days.

Children’s author beats the odds to inspire youth Michelle Pinon Editor

What are the odds of getting a book published?

One in 500.

While that number may be daunting to aspiring writers, Author Maxine Spence wanted to inform and inspire students at Andrew School during a recent visit.

Even though it took many years and a substantial amount of money, the Didsbury writer was totally committed to see it through and in 2011 her children’s book Leaf was published.

The process was much faster and less costly the second time around because of an organization by the name of Kickstarter, which helped get Jake’s story “Down in the Jungle” out into the world in 2014.

Kickstarter, is an independent company based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Project creators set a funding goal and deadline. If people like a project, they can pledge money to make it happen.

According to the company’s website, “Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing - projects must reach their funding goals to receive any money. All-ornothing funding might seem scary, but it’s amazingly effective in creating momentum and rallying people around an ideas. To date, an impressive 44 per cent of projects have reached their funding goals.

In Spence’s case, “Down in the Jungle,” was succedssfully funded on March 1, 2014 with 170 backers who raised $10,000 to make her dream happen.

One of those backers is friend, and Mundare area resident Margaret Webb, who was on hand for the author’s visit on Jan. 23rd. Webb said she truly

enjoyed the visit with Spence both inside and outside of the classroom.

Kickstarter just doesn’t assist budding writers, but has branched out to include other categories, such as: art, comics, crafts, dance, design, fashion, film and video, food, games, journalism, music, photography, technology and theatre.

It’s our 10th Anniversary in Mundare!

Opinion All Heart The Town of Mundare appeared deserted. It was shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday morning. It wasn't until I spotted all of the vehicles in the arena parking lot that I realized it wasn’t a ghost town.

Opening the entrance door, I could hear hooting and hollering as spectators cheered on the young hockey players. Taking my place by the plexiglass on the far end of the rink, I took notice of one of the Mundare Vipers bearing their fangs in the form of their hockey stick ready to defend themselves against a member of the Sherwood Park Green Cobras.

Even though they were only initiation age players, about five-six years of age, you could see the intensity, energy and enthusiasm in their actions. The kids were all heart as they skated end to end during the game. The same was true for the other players on the novice and atom players who participated in the annual hometown hockey tournament which featured 12 teams in the three different age categories.

Having a view from ice level certainly gives you a unique perspective of the game. I even got to take pictures from the players bench for one of the games, and it was great to see and hear everything that was going on behind the scenes.

I have to tip my hat to the coaches who keep everyone and everything organized and running smoothly. Kudos also go to the parent volunteers keeping score, running the time clock, handing out medals, selling 50/50 tickets, and cheering on the young athletes. It takes a great deal of time and commitment to make these kinds of events possible, and it was great to be able to see the smiles on everyone’s faces.

Letter to the Editor MP says opposition ‘play politics’ on Veterans issues Dear Editor,

There is an increasing amount of blatantly false information being spread by Opposition Members of Parliament about our Government’s record for our Veterans.

The reality is that our Government has invested unprecedented amounts into benefits and services, while addressing the modern day needs of our Veterans as they change and evolve.

Our Government has

spent almost $30 billion towards delivering Verterans benefits, programs, and supports.

That’s an increase of $5 billion since we took office in 2006. We’ve also trained staff in almost 600 Service Canada locations to assist Veterans with the support they need.

Today, Veterans who are in receipt of at least one benefit from Veterans Affairs have access to an average of $5,900 each month in support, in addition to benefits such as house cleaning, snow clearing,

college or university retraining, medicine and rehabilitation.

Additionally, we’ve made sure that the most critically injured Veterans are more fully supported. In fact, when combined with a military pension, some of Canada’s seriously injured Veterans can receive $8,000 or more per month in financial benefits.

Our government has worked hard to create job opportunities for Veterans. Through our Helmets to Hardhats and the Hire a Veteran pro-

Kerry Anderson Publisher

grams, we’re successfully partnering with the private sector to connect Veterans to available jobs. We are also working on getting legislation passed to put our men and women in uniform to the front of the line for federal public sector jobs through the Veterans Hiring Act. We have also improved Veterans’ health services. We’ve more than doubled the number of counseling sessions available for Veterans and their families, created an online caregiver tool to help

Michelle Pinon Editor

those who are dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and are hiring more peer support counselors. This is in addition to the recent announcement that will bolster frontline mental health locations to 25 across Canada, up from a mere few before 2006.

Soldiers currently serving also have access to reliable mental health support services. In fact, when compared to our NATO allies, the Canadian Forces already has the highest ratio of mental health workers to soldiers.

Marline Umrysh Jodie TracyDerksen Harding Advertising Sales/ Ad Sales Office Manager/ Composition Ad Composition

Our Government stands tall on our record, but we’re not afraid to identify and address the gaps that may still exist.

The Opposition should stop playing politics with these important issues and stop voting against virtually every measure we have put forth to improve Veterans’ quality of life.

In the heart of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Energy Minister gets first hand perspective during tour Michelle Pinon Editor

Alberta’s Energy Minister Frank Oberle had nothing but praise for Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske, who was by his side during a short press conference at Shell Scotford last Tuesday afternoon.

For Oberle, it was his first tour of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, and he said he was also impressed with the companies he had visited so far, before departing for an ariel tour later on that afternoon.

Oberle said he was very excited to be at Shell, “site of the world’s largest carbon capture project. Oberle said there are many other capital projects that are already in the works in the region, including the Northwest Upgrader that will be on stream in 2017.

While some of the large companies have tightened up their capital expenditures; Oberle said they don’t expect any layoffs in this area.

Oberle said he wanted to also get a better understanding of transportation and infrastructure concerns in the region, and was grateful for the opportunity to have a personal tour and guid-

ed visit that day.

Oberle praised Fenske, “who has done a great job representing the area” and the concerns of local residents and businesses. He said he was well aware of the Highway 15 bridge issue that was raised by a reporter from Mix 107.9, which broadcasts from Fort Saskatchewan.

He said it would be a “tough budget” this year, but said they would be taking into consideration redevelopment in the community. “We can’t stop spending on infrastructure,” added Oberle, and looking at the needs for schools and roads in in the region.

Oberle said he was not aware on any projects being delayed, and said the government will continue working with industry to get through this period. He added that the government has “no net debt.”

The energy minister said they were also looking at “very interesting” and “new ways” of diversification. Oberle said they would also be looking at opportunities for propane liquids and an incremental extraction policy for bitumen.

Then Oberle and Fenske were whisked away for the second leg of the tour just before 1:30 p.m.

Medical marjuana facilities discussed at Mundare council Michelle Pinon Editor Even though Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus and the rest of council thought the issue of medical marijuana facilities was behind them, a resident resurrected the topic during the Feb. 3rd meeting.

The resident, who asked to remain anonymous due to safety concerns, voiced her concerns and several queries for council members during the question period portion of the meeting.

The resident’s question was regarding a motion council passed at its July 8, 2014 meeting. The motion made by coun.

Frank Rosypal stated: “That the Town of Mundare will not object to a license being obtained for a Medical Marijuana facility.”

The resident wanted to know that if council could “block” this type of development in the town, would they do it?

Coun. Irene Talaga said council has “mixed feeling” on the issue and chose to make the motion in favour of allowing the facility in the community based on legal advice.

“Do you want that (medical marijuana facility) in your community?” asked the resident again.

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Colin Zyla reiterated the reason council voted that way was based on the legal advice the town had received.

“If the federal government wants it; we can’t stop it.”

The resident said they know of other municipalities who have developed bylaws, and successfully stopped those types of facilities from operating in their communities. “Federal regulations supercede our regulations,” stated Zyla.

“So why have other communities through bylaws have stopped it?” Zyla referred to Health Canada’s regulations once again.

Coun. Jaime Burghardt pointed out that the issue was off the table. Zyla said the greenhouse was currently not for sale, and he had not been approached again by the developer or any other developer interested in purchasing Zarvonda Nurseries. “He (the developer) was just doing some preliminary work,” added Zyla.

The CAO said if a company wanted to buy the greenhouse and have it converted to a medical marijuana facillity the town, police and fire department would have to be notified of the application of a federal license.

As far as the cost of obtaining legal advice, Zyla said it was approximately $1,300.

On Oct. 16, 2014 Mayor Gargus sent an email to Maryann Chichak, Vice Present for towns with the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA), in regards to medical marijuana facilities. Gargus wrote:, “I am so glad to get your email as we do have a very interesting problem here in Mundare. It is not immediately a concern, but no doubt could be again in the future.

We have a 10 bay, three acre greenhouse in Mundare, and it is poten-

tially for sale. The prospective buyer was investigating the possibility of setting up a Medical marijuana grow house complete with Federal govern’t approvals. Our lawyers were very clear that as a municipality we cannot block the sale or the operation as it is a legitimate business.

“Our concern re: smell for town residents plus increased criminal interest in what is behind the glass walls means extra costs to us. The bad part is that we can only receive $750 in taxes as Alberta Municipal Government Act (MGA) guidelines class a greenhouse as an agricultural business. We feel that it is a pharmaceutical operation and should be taxed commercially,” stated Gargus.

Mayor Gargus asked her to follow up on the issue as it is both timely and unique. “Since the greenhouse owner did not sell at this time, the concerns are not pressing today, but certainly will be in a year or two if the greenhouse is up for sale again. This issue may not affect us here in Mundare today, but certainly will appear in some community somewhere and I feel that the AUMA is our best voice to make a tax change

On Jan. 14, 2015 Helen Rice, AUMA President, responded to Mayor Gargus’ letter. Rice said based on his recommendations they have taken a number of actions including: * Writing to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to proposed changes to the Matters Relating to Assessment and Taxation Regulation so that medical marijuana production facilities are not considered farming operations for the purposes of property taxation. * We have requested that the Ministry of Justice and Solicitor General develop comprehensive legislation in consultation with municipalities to govern the siting, security, municipal involvement, and other matters relating to marijuana production facilities.

George is not surprised that the honour went to Randy Hollar this year.

Randy’s online biography describes him as someone who, “has lived the cowboy life he sings about.

Roundups, brandings, cattle drives, bucking broncos and rodeos have been his livelihood.”

Randy was born in Viking and left town at the young age of 14 to break broncos and ride bulls. as a bull rider, Randy joined the Canadian Rodeo Cowboy Association in 1972.

He made his living competing, travelling the rodeo circuit throughout western Canada and northwest USA. To keep in shape during the winter months, he became a member of a boxing club - fighting in four different weight classes.

His biography goes on to say that Randy’s focus turned to the draft horse industry and became a seasoned horseman, blacksmith and farrier. He specializes in shoeing, training and showing draft horses, and has won numerous awards for his black Percheron teams and hitches.

Randy Hollar, formerly of Viking, says when he was handed the Bev Munro Award at a performance in Sherwood Park Jan. 25, his first thought was to run and put the plaque in his car, “before they changed their minds.”

Hollar, who now lives in Chipman, said he was totally caught off guard when he was called to accept the award.

“There are always six people nominated and nobody, not even Bev knows who the winner is until just before he makes the presentation.

“I was in the back getting dressed to go on stage when I was told that I had won the award and I was needed on stage. I thought everybody was just kidding. I said, “No’ but they insisted and, low and behold, Bev was waiting on the stage for me. It just caught me off guard,” he said.

Randy said he just never expected to be chosen for the honour.

“The award was originally given to Bev Munro from CFCW (a disc jockey with that station for 30 years) and he continues to pass it down each year. He has been handing out the award for 15 years now.

You know, as a kid living in Viking, riding the bus to school and home every day and milking cows daily, I just never dream’t I would be receiving any awards.”

Randy said he had flown in from Arizona to participate in three pre-scheduled shows (one in Lloydminister and two Sherwood Park performances) and his plan was to fly back following the run but he said circumstances on the Chipman farm have kept him from returning south.

“One of the horses got caught up in an ice bowl...you know...it has been so warm. She’s in the arena now but she was stuck in the ice and I had to help her out with the tractor. Oh, yes, I think she is going to be just fine, but I will stay here for the coming weeks just to be sure,” he said.

Lamont Fish & Game holds successful fundraiser Michelle Pinon Editor

Around 350 people dined on delicious wild game and fish dishes during the Lamont Fish & Game’s annual banquet and dance on Saturday, Jan. 31st in the Lamont Hall.

MC Doug Butler said it is the club’s biggest event of the year, and time to honour and pay tribute to volunteers and recognize the members who achieved special milestones during 2014. “We have 500 members and this is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” added Butler.

Butler, who also sits on the executive of the provincial association, said Lamont is one of 25 associations in the province. “We won for best youth program last year,” stated Butler. He commended all of the volunteers who work with the youth and the various indoor and outdoor projects and activities they promote and participate in throughout the year.

Butler introduced executive members including: President Robyn Butler, Vice President Vince Pichota, Treasurer Kathy Radke and Secretary Joan Day. He also gave a shout out to fishing chair Ken Engman, archery chair Murray Laronde, and youth chair Vince Pichota. “I cant mention everyone, but we thank you for all your support.”

Special introductions were made for life members Marvin Letwin, Russel Letwin, Chuck Varga, Ed Koroluk, Ed Drolet and Ed Andrukow. “They do a lot of work for the club, and are always there when you need them,” said Butler. The club has been in existence for 61 years, which is an amazing accomplishment in itself, pointed out

Butler.

Also in attendance were Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske, Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner, and Alberta Fish and Game Association President Gordon Poirier.

Poirer said it was the third time he had attended trophy night in Lamont. “It’s through the leadership of the Butlers and volunteers in the club that they have reached the upper tier of strong clubs.” He was also impressed with the youth program, and to see the younger people in attendance at the gala.

There are currently 25,000 members in the provincial fish and game assosication, and Poirer said the strongest growth in membership has been in youth and ladies, and that Lamont is definitely leading by example and offering the utmost praise for its volunteers.

Armed robbery in Vegreville On February 4th, 2015, at approximately 11:00 p.m. Vegreville RCMP were called to an armed robbery at the Alberta Pub in Vegreville.

The suspect brandished a pistol and a machete and attempted to rob three patrons who were at the Pub. One of the patrons suffered serious injuries during the altercation while trying to subdue the suspect.

The suspect in the armed robbery fled prior to RCMP arrival, but was identified, located and arrested a few hours later by Vegreville RCMP. Vegreville RCMP worked tirelessly throughout the night to identify and apprehend the suspect.

Owen Alexander Essery, 20 years old, of Vegreville has been

charged with three counts of robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault, two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order.

The investigation into the armed robbery continues, as RCMP continue to gather and process evidence.

GREAT NORTHERN GRAIN Terminals Ltd.

“I just wanted to do something for the family,” said Patty Podoborozny.The Town of Bruderheim’s Chief Administrative Officer was referring to the family of the late RCMP Cst. David Wynn. of St. Alberta who was fatally shot in the line of duty the morning of Jan. 17th.

It was Podoborozny, who spearheaded a fundraiser in the community, with the blessing of coun.

Patricia Lee, and the rest of council, as well as members of the local seniors organization, who held the fundraiser in conjunction with its monthly pancake breakfast on Saturday, Feb. 7th.

As a member of the Capital Region, Podoborozny said it is important to show support for the RCMP, and the important work they do in Bruderheim as well as other communities throughout Alberta and Canada.

“The RCMP are our police force.”

Podoborozny said It could have been one of our own family members who were fatally wounded. While people see them (RCMP), we don’t think anything of it.” That was just one of the reasons she wanted to pay tribute to the late Cst. Wynn.

To that end, she also enlisted the support of Autumn Rose Funeral Home from Vegreville, who donated a memorial book for supporters to sign during the fundraiser.

Through the raffle, 50/50 draw, and private donations, supporters raised a total of $1,010.58 during the fundraiser.

“Hopefully they will do something for fun with the money,” added Podoborozny.

Initiation, Novice, and Atom teams participated in the annual home hockey tournament in Mundare this past weekend.

Every Initiation team received medals. While the Atom team did not make the finals, the Novice team won first place in its category. But whether it was a win, loss or tie, the players, coaches, parents, and fans went away with wonderful memories during the four day tournament.

dows, new furnace and air conditioner as well as retrofitting the bathroom to make it wheelchair accessible. Differenz said there were some funds leftover from the project, and they went to the replacement of some chairs in the facility.

Benoit, MP for the Vegreville-Wainwright Constituency, also acknowledged the efforts of MLA Fenske and Mayor Hauch.

Benoit also commended the seniors. “I’ve seen what you’ve done with the grants to keep the hall going, and you’ve really used the funds well.” Benoit thanked the seniors for their contributions, and for staying involved in the com-

munity.

MLA Fenske also thanked the volunteers, and told them how lucky they are to have a mayor, council and administration who take such an active role in the community and its various organizations.

Even though we are in for some “tough times” ahead, Fenske said education, seniors and vulnerable Albertans will be taken care of. Mayor Hauch encouraged breakfast goers to get to know their MLA and MP and to ask them questions.

Differenz told folks not be strangers, and drop by for a coffee and chat when they have the chance.

Bruderheim Bruins host tournament

When is the best time to pre-plan your funeral?

The best time to begin making your prearrangements is NOW, while you’re thinking about it.

Unplug during Family Day Michelle Pinon Editor

Local residents are encouraged to “disconnect to connect”, and participate in Family Day activities in Bruderheim on Monday, Feb. 16th.

There will be plenty of activities to participate in all afternoon thanks to the Lamont County Region Family & Community Support Services (FCSS). This is the fifth year FCSS and the Town of Bruderheim will be hosting the event that will feature both indoor and outdoor activities from 1 - 4 p.m.

FCSS will be hosting indoor games and activities at the community hall, while the town will be hosting the outdoor activities.

Some of the outdoor activities will be public skating, ice cream hockey, snowball fight, 2 X 4 races, snow sculptures, etc.

The Bruderheim Lions and Lioness Clubs will be hosting a weiner roast, while the Bruderheim Fire Department will be hosting a marshmallow roast and serving hot chocolate.

Judy Koschade, Director of C o m m u n i t y Relations, says Family Day is a nice break for families to get out of the house after a long winter of being indoors, and a great way to get together with their friends and neighbours.

More than 20 communities participated in the Disconnect to Connect - Family Day Unplugged in the region last Family Day. The collective unplugged totalled 129, 451 hours.

HAVING A BALL! BEACH DAY @ BRUDERHEIM SCHOOL MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Grade 6 students played against the teachers during the annual beach volleyball game on Friday, Jan. 29th in the school gymnasium.

Even though the students didn’t win against the teachers; a great time was had by one and all! The decibel readings were off the charts as students yelled, chanted, sang, did handstands, lounge on beach towels during the fun-filled event.
