Charter school for Andrew?

BY JANA SEMENIUK

Whispers of a possible charter school for the village of Andrew became more of a reality June 22 as the school’s social media page changed its name to ‘Andrew Rural Academy’.

Andrew Mayor Merwin Haight said a committee is looking into the possibilities but could not provide concrete details around what the rural academy is exactly, and what it could mean for

Andrew.

“The village of Andrew has a fourmember committee struck, to look at the possibility of purchasing the school and (look at) possible entities that could potentially operate out of that building,” he said.

“There’s been public interest in forming a charter school, and there’s also been public interest in daycare (as well as) having adult education facili-

ties here in the building that could also include health and safety courses.”

Haight added that a post-secondary educational program is also a possibility.

“There’s also been interest in forming a satellite campus for post-secondary institutions like Lakeland Collage, NAIT etc. Our (viability) report is about half completed into the costs and operations of the building

and what it would mean budget wise. More information will be available in the coming weeks,” he said.

The decision to close Andrew School was made by Elk Island Public Schools during a special board meeting on May 4.

The school will be officially closed as of June 30.

81-year-old high school graduation ring donated back to Village of Chipman

BY JANA SEMENIUK

The Chipman Historical Society (CHS) was presented with a joyous donation during its June 22 meeting held at the village office.

Former Chipman resident Ed Chiperzak, and his daughter Sherry Matheson, brought them a beautifully framed 1942 Chipman high school graduation ring from Chiperzak’s older brother Anton (Chip) who passed away this past March in Ont. at the age of 98.

The ring was first brought to the society by several members of Chiperzak’s family during the Golden Senior’s May 26 perogy dinner prior to being framed, which surprised and

astonished the members.

“It is a treasure,” said CHS president Tony Ngyen. “I was disappointed that (I couldn’t be at the perogy dinner).”

Chiperzak said he never knew of the ring’s existence until he got a phone call from his nephew, Doug, who was sorting his father’s belongings after he

passed away. Once he found the ring, he told Chiperzak that he felt it should be given back to the town.

“(The ring) brought memories of me knowing him before he left home and the reason being is that I was only eight years old when he left,” said Chiperzak. “I remember walking to school with him and meeting up with the Sheptiki boys who were renting a house from the Ludwigs during the wintertime to go to school. We used to meet up there and warm up and then continue on into Chipman. It just brought back memories of him. We knew nothing about the (ring).”

Bruderheim Canada Day parade and fireworks cancelled

BY JOHN MATHER

The Town of Bruderheim has held a Canada Day parade for many years, but not this year.

According to Mayor Karl Hauch the parade and fireworks display at the end of the day have been cancelled for this year.

“Well last year we had two parades,” said Hauch. “This year it was felt Canada Day would be reduced and there would be a parade and fireworks during the Harvest Day Festival in September.”

He added that the decision will be revisited next year after the administration conducts a resident survey to see what they want for Canada Day.

He said planning for previous parades had started sometimes as much as a year earlier,

but there wasn’t enough time this year to put together a good program.

Hauch said the Model T races, a popular event in the community, will be held on the Labour Day weekend and the Harvest Festival will be held later in the month.

He said he had heard from some residents expressing disappointment with there not being a Canada Day parade or fireworks.

He added the large parade in Fort Saskatchewan and people going camping for the long weekend also played into the decision to cancel this year’s parade.

“We were told some people go to the Fort Saskatchewan parade, but then we still have some residents who aren’t able to travel there,” said Hauch.

Continued from front

Hauch said the fireworks cost is generally in the neighbourhood of $5,000. Costs for the parade are much smaller but there are secondary costs such as candy and things.

“The cost of candy has shot a way up,” he said. “We took the town float to Ardrossan for their parade and it was jammed solid with kids.

“We ran out of candy about two thirds of the way through the parade.”

He said in one of the parades the town takes part in this summer they will be unveiling a new inflatable.

“We’re in the process of getting a new blow up piece of equipment for our town float.”

“I can’t reveal what it will be until we float it out there,” he quipped.

Fort RCMP charge extreme speeder with dangerous driving

On June 14, 2023, at 9:45 a.m., an officer with the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP was making patrols when he observed a vehicle traveling at 206 km/h in the posted 100 km/h zone on Highway 15 near Highway 28A. The officer was able to locate and arrest the driver. Given the totality of the circumstances, the driver, who has been identified as Edmonton resident Jose Sebastian (23) has been charged

with Dangerous driving and speeding.

Jose Sebastian was released from custody with his next court date set for July 13, 2023, at the Alberta Court of Justice in Fort Saskatchewan.

This arrest comes days after a fatal motor vehicle collision in Edmonton where extreme speeds are believed to be a factor.

RCMP would like to remind motorists of the extreme dangers associ-

ated with driving at extreme speeds. Police can lay criminal charges for this reckless behaviour.

CHS member Steve Eleniak said the ring held special significance for him as a friend of Anton’s.

“It’s a special thing for me because I knew Anton. I had lunch with him six or seven years ago,” he said, sharing the story of how Frank Page, principal of Chipman at the time, helped Anton get into Queen’s University.

“It was very hard to get into Queens,” said Eleniak. “(Frank Page) was the one who arranged Anton to attend Queens. Queens was a part of the war somehow, and having Anton get in there was a real accomplishment.”

A write-up which accompanied Anton’s ring, said he graduated from Queens University in Kingston with a Bachelor of Engineering degree and took a position with Liquid

Carbonic Inc. soon after.

He eventually left his position in 1968 to work for the federal government in the Industry, Trade and Commerce Department before retiring in 1989. Despite his new life on the opposite side of the country, Matheson said her uncle Chip never lost his love for Chipman.

“He loved Chipman,” she said. “He loved coming back and talking to people and that was important to him.”

Baba’s Bistro owner seeks Mundare council seat

Young, former firefighter seeks Mundare council seat

BY JOHN MATHER

A lifelong Mundare resident is seeking  the vacant council seat on Mundare council when a by-election is held July 5.

Danika Brisson said she has been thinking about running for council for some time, but until now the opportunity hadn’t arisen.

“I was born and lived my early years just outside of Mundare on my grandparents’ farm,” said Brisson, 28. “When I was 10 my parents and siblings moved into town.”

“I have since seen many changes happen throughout the town and want to continue to see it grow and thrive.”

She added she likes the fact the council is actively promoting the development of additional businesses in the community and she would like to help keep that trend going forward.

“I do feel I know the town pretty well,” she added. “I’ve been on a lot of volunteer commit-

tees and I have served on the fire department for 10 years.

“In addition I helped

Brisson works at Stawnichy’s Meat Processing and has been there for six years.

“The roads are an issue in town,” she said. “I know they can be rough in the winter. I would also like to see the town promote more events for families on long weekends.”

Brisson has just stepped away from the fire department, but she had been a member since she was 18.

Santos lives in the town and owns Baba’s Bistro.

“The community to me is pretty good and if I were on council I will try to keep it that way,” he said.

Santos has been involved in regulatory compliance in a career spanning more than 40 years and he feels he could help deal with issues that affect a lot of communities with his experience.

Santos said he expects to be campaigning later this week prior to the vote.

He added he has been busy doing some consulting work in Grande Prairie recently.

“I’ve been talking to people when I see them on the street, but I plan

to do some door knocking over the weekend.”

He said while he hasn’t severed on a council he has been on many committees in his life such as chair of the health and safety committee for the Alberta Sand and Gravel Association, on the Alberta Road Builders Safety Committee, and the Clean Air Strategic Alliance Commission for

power plants, and a the mine closure plan committee in Manitoba.”

He has two professional designations as a Canadian Registered Safety Professional and an environmental professional.

“I was named to the brief Occupation Health and Safety Committee for the Government of Alberta in 2019. That committee only lasted a year.”

The 66-year-old has a blended family with six shared children and 10 grandchildren.

Kent Santos

BY HAZEL ANAKA

For many people the much-needed rain washed out Father’s Day plans. I can only imagine how many barbeques sat untouched and how many backyard gatherings had to move inside. Our plans were much simpler.

Supper at The Keg with Hilary, Ash, and his parents was to be the highlight. I even decided ahead of time to follow the “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” adage and order a steak in a steak house. I did and it was fine. But, in hindsight I wish I’d ordered my favourite, the pistachio encrusted salmon. Roy and I shared the house dessert specialty, the Billie Miner Pie. That is decadent. Between the starter salad, steak and sides, and half a dessert, my digestive system had to work overtime. In fact, it seemed as though it took a day or two to recover. If you’ve ever overeaten at Thanksgiving or

FROM WHERE I SIT: Edmonton Attraction

Christmas, you know that icky feeling that follows the first endorphin rush of delight that comes with a well-prepared meal. The conversation was wonderful and engaging as usual. And we got home later than I expected.

What hadn’t been preplanned was a trip to Yesterday’s Auto Gallery. I didn’t know the place existed. Apparently, they had a very busy Father’s Day, probably in large part to the heavy, persistent rain. I quizzed the young woman working the front counter and now I know everything! Here goes.

In 2019, the owner Glen Stenabaugh bought a former Provincial Archives building and began renovating it to his needs. They opened to the public just over a year ago. The venue consists of a 1950s-style diner, car and motorcycle gallery, small gift shop, and a small tire and rim shop. At over 43,000 square feet there’s lots to see. Sylv’s Diner is decorated in the turquoise and chrome of yesteryear. After a stop in the ladies’ room (also decorated to the theme) I found Roy and Hilary in the diner sitting in a 1959

Turquoise and white Metropolitan convertible getting their photo taken by an employee. The passenger window had an old A & W drive-in tray hanging on the window. With supper plans in place, we didn’t sample the menu but hear the milkshakes are really good.

We timed our visit to the Gallery to miss most of the revival band entertainment that was blaring through the place. I’m sure the group was fine because people were dancing. But the acoustics are not good for this purpose and it was far too loud.

I learned that the owner is about 60 and that 80% of the 108 cars on display are his. He has more vehicles in storage on a rural property and the cars on exhibit rotate. He got an early start; apparently, he had two cars by the time he was fourteen. The remaining cars on show belong to people who pay storage fees to have them there. The amount of info on each particular car varies from lots to next-to-nothing. Roy, especially liked the Mopar area because he’s the proud owner of a 1970 SuperBee that he

ordered from the factory. A few things struck me. The paint on all these cars is impeccable. During the heyday of automobiles, the range and selection of colours puts today’s white, black, silver, and a handful more to pathetic shame. Think teal, turquoise, pink, orange, copper. Scattered among the cars were kids’ vintage pedal cars. I’ve seen these toys sell at auction and they are worth a pretty penny. There was also a small play area for children who may be bored with their parents and grandparents reliving their youth.

I like striking up a conversation with anyone so I asked a couple with a teenage son if they found their dream car in the gallery; you know the one he used to attract her so they could go necking on a country road. The adults laughed; the boy squirmed. Necking, indeed. The man said his first car was pretty pathetic so he didn’t snag her until he had a better ride…a Cutlass, I think he said.

I also asked the security guard patrolling the aisles a question about the display cars. Not only did he not know the

answer, he didn’t think he needed to. And, technically that is probably true. He was basically a rent-a-cop. What I will never fathom is how someone can spend hours in a place without the interest, initiative, curiosity, or desire to learn something. Bloody hell. Talk about wasted time and potential. I doubt being a security guard is his dream job but with that attitude, he’s probably hit the top of his ambition and will sleepwalk through the rest of his days.

One of the highlights for me was the photo

spot created with the plywood front of a VW van. It represents the flower power hippie days and is too cute for words. I got Roy and Hilary to sit on the chairs for a photo op. To prevent it from looking like a Flintstone car, I made Roy pull in his knee. Several photos later, it became the wallpaper on my iPhone. And it makes me smile every time I see it.

If you love nostalgia, collector cars, an oldtime diner, and a trip down memory lane, this new Edmonton attraction should be on your must-do list, from where I sit.

Writer runs into the immovable wall of changing technology

BY JOHN MATHER

Imagine if your car was in the shop and you had to borrow one for the day from your neighbour.

But lo and behold when you get to the vehicle the steering wheel is in the back seat area, the steering is from the rear wheels and the doors only open on the right hand side.

Would that be frustrating?

Of course it would.

So why do computer manufacturers make their operating systems so incompatible with one another?

What leads me to this is a breakdown of my trusty, tried and true MacIntosh computers the other day.

I was trained to use Macs more than 30 years ago. As they evolved, I learned how to adjust to those changes in the operating system, how to use short cuts on the keyboards and many other features designed to make me more efficient in producing stories and art for the newspaper.

Anyone who knows me will absolutely question the efficiency part but none the less, that’s what learning the various interfaces of the Mac operating system was supposed to do.

So when my trusty Mac died, hopefully it can be repaired, it did it as deadlines for the papers I work for were quickly approaching.

With no choice I had to use a computer the paper had provided to me a year ago to use where possible.

But it is a Google operating system so to my Mac trained brain and fingers it might as well be the same as me trying to learn Klingon.

That will be my one Star Trek reference for today.

I have over the past year mastered parts of this new operating system.

I have used it to take in zoom meetings, I can get emails from it, but after that I move into definite gray areas.

I begin writing a story. Now, I’m not a touch typist. I have two fingers which have hunt and pecked their way across keyboards for years.

My Mac was used to this. It had simple pull down menus to find files and start new ones. Not so with the Google monster. And, after writing I definitely need to spell check my work.

CONTINUED

But this Google system has every spelling error popping right up. To be honest it’s a major distraction.

And then I get tricked by the keyboard short cuts.

I want to move a quote up in the story. I hit the short cut key I’m used to for this and whoa…. everything disappears. Not just the quote, but the entire story. So I quickly hit the bring back everything keyboard short cut

the way I’m used to.

Nothing.

My story has gone into the Google OS ethernet never to be seen again.

Well, probably it can easily be found by a threeyear-old in less than five seconds, but I don’t have one of those young phenoms quite handy.

I’m at a loss. I’m frustrated.

Mr. Gates, Mr. Google system developer and others are called many names.

What is normally a fairly easy operation of writ-

ing a story turns into an hours long nightmare. But I will struggle through.

I have to. I’ve been trained. The newspaper waits for no writer and I have news to present to you.

But at the next monthly debating club meeting I certainly hope the efficiency of technology is one of the topics. I’m sure I can prepare a winning argument against it.

I just need my Mac back to write it on.

Pastor Wayne Larson gives last sermon before retirement at Bruderheim Community Church

BY JANA SEMENIUK

At least 70 people came out to Bruderheim Community Church (BCC) on June 25 to wish a fond farewell to Pastor Wayne Larson as he retires from pastoring after 55 years.

As the congregation sang hymns to begin Sunday’s service, church musician Lawrence Peck offered a prayer of thanks.

“We would not have known Wayne if the Lord hadn’t brought us together,” he said.

Larson began his pastorship at BCC in 2015. In his resignation letter, which Larson read to the congregation in March, he described his feelings around coming to the small-town church.

“It became quite obvious to both me and to (my wife) Karen, and I think to the Board, that God was calling us, to pitch our tent among the people who made up this congregation,” he said, adding his reasons for retirement. “Truth be told, I still love preaching and preparing for preaching as well as other pastoral responsibilities, but I am feeling tired and need time to catch up on life and family and sleep without worrying about what is needed for next Sunday.”

Meanwhile, Larson was emotional at times while giving his last sermon. He focused on gratefulness while also sharing touching and

“I want to tell you today that there is a sense in which I feel many times over that I’m

the luckiest man in the world, to serve the Lord, and to serve in a number of places, and to have been able to share here with you as well,” he said.

While board chair for BCC, Larry Bartz, was unable to attend the service, his son, Cody, read a letter from him to Larson and his wife Karen.

“I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your last eight years of ministry with us here at Bruderheim,” he said. Bartz also addressed the five year long legal battle with the Moravian Church over ownership of the land and buildings which resulted in a loss for BCC, thanking Larson for his help and commitment during that time.

“We had to transition to and start a new con-

“I know that sometimes God has plans for you that you don't always think are coming. (Such as us) coming here. I didn't even know where Bruderheim was, and I never heard of a Moravian Church. So that shows you that that God has plans for us at times that we don't always know,” she said.

“I would be remiss not to stand here today, emotional as it is, to say a big thank you to our family at Bruderheim Community Church.”

BCC board member Alan Bartz said that while several pastors will be filling in on Sundays, a new pastor has not yet been hired.

Telecommunications tower extension a no-go for Bruderheim

BY JANA SEMENIUK

A project to extend the telecommunications tower in Bruderheim, first proposed by 3CIS to Bruderheim council members in Oct. 2019, has been put on hold indefinitely.

Chief Administrative Officer Phyllis Forsythe said 3CIS, the company who owns the tower, notified her of their decision which she explained to council members during their June 21 meeting.

“At this moment he's not proceeding,” she said. “They have other priorities for their capital and he may be back to a set another time.”

The proposal was to extend the current 80foot tower into a 150 foot one which could support increased industrial activity in the area as well as the added benefit to residents. The tower is located behind the Karol Maschmeyer Arena.

cation services, such as high-speed internet, to areas around Bruderheim who currently cannot access it,” explained Jay Candy, representative of 3CIS during a Feb. 2020 interview. Candy said the taller the tower is, the more effective the coverage area.

“The tower itself is in a perfect location as it is right next to the Alberta

supernet facility which is a fibre optic network that connects all of the communities in Alberta together.”

Meanwhile, CAO Forsythe said the project was stalled by the COVID pandemic and now the company has other projects to complete.

Bruderheim to possibly decrease the number of council members from seven to five

BY JANA SEMENIUK

The idea of a possible decrease in the number of Bruderheim town councillors from seven to five was introduced to council members during their June 21 council meeting by Chief Administrative Officer Phyllis Forsythe while discussing a recent service level review, focusing on Council services.

She explained that in order to maintain the tax rate and minimize increases, a reduction in service could be a possibility and spoke to the 2021 municipal election where Bruderheim did not have enough candidates to fill two seats on council.

“The Town of Bruderheim had to extend the nominations date to find two additional candidates. Is it time for council to consider reducing the number of councillors for the Town. The budget for council, all totaled is $92,000. Remuneration, travel and meals total $79,000 or $11,351 per council member approximately,” she said.

“Your options are to maintain council with six councillors and a mayor for a total of seven or to direct administration to proceed with the drafting of a bylaw to reduce the number of councillors to four with a mayor for a total of five.”

Although this motion has been presented three times to council over the past four years, and defeated each time with the last two occasions defeated in votes of 5-2, this time most council members spoke in favour of examining the issue further with the exception of councillor Len Falardeau who has been a continuous vocal opponent of the motion.

Deputy Mayor Judy Schueler said the savings to the town of $11,000 per councillor per year was a good reason to look at reducing the number to five.

“$11,000 times two, that’s $22,000 a year, and that's quite a bit of money. That's 2.1 percent

of our budget,” she said.

“Last year, we (also) had to wait two more days to get two more councillors. So from my perspective, that means that we don't have enough interest in town, and getting to five

where and I believe we can do that quite easily for that amount of money. The town is, I think, it's still ready for seven. It's not ready for five.”

Councillor George

do all the tasks that we're required to do, the meetings and all that stuff, with five councillors and do it efficiently. Other than that, if we can maintain a good service of council. With people being involved, five is a good number. I will have to go along with the reduction.”

Councillor Wayne Olechow, who also previously did not support the move to reduce the number of council members, also changed his position.

“So, seven councillors, we have one person for every 200 residents roughly. And going down to five is one for 275. So not a huge difference,” he said.

Councillor Olechow made the motion to direct administration to proceed with drafting a bylaw to reduce the number of councillors to four plus the mayor for a total of five which was carried with Councillor

Falardeau the only opposing vote.

Forsythe said that should the bylaw pass first second and third reading, the changes would not take effect until the next municipal election in 2025.

will be a lot easier.”

Councillor Falardeau was not swayed by Schueler’s explanation.

“The reason we defeated it is common sense.

The $11,000 (spent on each councillor) we blow money on greater and sillier things than that,” he said. “$11,000 just not a justification at all. We can trim money else-

Campbell, who previously supported keeping the number of councillors at seven, was now supportive of the move to reduce.

“I have to kind of agree with what deputy mayor Judy says, we have trouble getting councillors,” said Campbell. “(I question the) efficiency. Can we

Councillor Campbell suggested a public hearing to hear what residents’ thoughts were on the matter, which CAO Forsythe said could be done and would be part of the process in the first draft of the bylaw.

Old Time Fiddle Competition returns to Fort Saskatchewan

BY JOHN MATHER

The Grand North American Old Time Fiddle Championship

will return to the Dow Centennial Centre in Fort Saskatchewan for the second year in a row July 13-16.

The championship is the second to be hosted

by the Wild Rose Old Tyme Fiddlers Association.

The Association has existed for 39 years.

During the four days, in addition to the fiddle competition, this event includes a junior fiddling mini-camp, three jam sessions, a barn dance

and open mic, a banquet and an Old Time Family Dance, said Mundare’s Charlie Gargus, one of the competitors at the event.

The  competition has one of the richest prize payouts in North America, with more than $16,000 in prizes, added

Movie night a hit for Bruderheim AG Society

BY JANA SEMENIUK

The Bruderheim Agricultural Society held their second Movie Night June 23 at the local Walker School building. At least 40 people, two thirds of them children in pajamas, came out to see ‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’, a computer animated cartoon based on the Nintendo Mario video game franchise. It was only released in Apr. this year and has quickly become the highest grossing film for 2023.

Bruderheim AG Society member and town councillor, Dayna

Jacobs, said she first organized a movie night near Christmas with the feature film ‘The Grinch (2018)’.

“This movie night was better than the last one. We only had about 25 people come out to ‘The Grinch’,” she said, adding that the movie nights are a great social activity for kids. “It’s good because it gets kids outside of school together.”

Jacobs said the last movie night was a free event to ‘test the waters’ and see how it would be received, but this one

had an entry fee of $5 which included a bag of popcorn and a juice box.

Other reasonably priced snacks were bags of chips or a chocolate bar for $1 and pop or bottles of water for $2.

Although Jacobs said she is happy with the recent turn out for the Ag Society’s second movie night, she is already planning the next event.

“We’re aiming for Halloween,” she said. “A costume themed one.”

Jacobs added that the movie title, or a date, has not yet been chosen.

Gargus.

He added it attracts fiddlers from across Canada.

The event features categories for all fiddlers, from Novice (any age) and Junior Junior (nine and under) up through

Junior, Intermediate, Senior and Golden.

There are also some specialty categories including Twin Fiddling, Traditional (fiddlers clogging the rhythm with their feet), and Novelty.

Gargus said the cream of the crop compete in the Championship class.

The judges this year are Daniel Gervais, Mark Sullivan, Paul Lemelin and Lucas Welsh.

Beautification on the way for Village of Andrew

BY JANA SEMENIUK

For the second year in a row Zachoda’s Greenhouse has donated dozens of flowers to the Village of Andrew.

(Previously), the (village) planters with flowers (in them have generated) a lot of (positive) comments and it’s a great change. This year its phenomenally welcoming to have such a donation (by) a business (who) contributes to the village like this. We are thankful for how Heather Zachoda has donated to us. This is our village and we are taking pride in it.”

A small group of community volunteers have donated their time to planting the flowers and Haight said more volunteers are always welcome.
