Report Crime Michelle Pinon Editor
Just because you live in a small town, it doesn’t mean you can’t be a victim of crime. Unfortunately, that proved to be true for some Chipman residents in recent months. But as Cst. Sean Morris of the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Detachment says, crime can happen anywhere at anytime, but it is important to provide police with details and license plate numbers. He says if a person knows who is perpetrating the crime to phone police, and they do have the option to remain anonymous by calling Crimestoppers. Cst. Morris added that there are officers assigned to rural areas, but he asks residents to keep in mind they have to allot time in order for police to respond. Jim Palmer, Mayor of the Village of Chipman, said the village has made several requests to RCMP for an increase in rural policing and police presence in the community. Palmer also recommends residents phone RCMP to register complaints and report crimes. The Village of Chipman also has an Off-Highway Vehicles Bylaw, which applies to any motorized vehicle designed for cross country travel on land, water, snow, ice, marsh or swamp land or on other natural terrain. The bylaw, which has been in place since 2007, stipulates that no person shall operate any off-highway vehicle on any area designated as parks or reserve land or village owned property with the jurisdiction and under the control of the Village of Chipman with the following exceptions: i) Peace officers, agents and employees of the Village of Chipman are exempt from the provision of this bylaw while performing their official duties. If in contravention of the bylaw, the fine for a first offence is $250 and $500 for a second offence. Cst. Morris also wants to advise local residents about a utility scam where the caller requests payment by prepaid debit or credit card over the phone. “Residents and businesses have been receiving calls from an individual that claims to represent their local electric, water or gas company. The caller advises that there is an overdue bill and payment is required immediately or the services will be shut off. Fraudsters will then request payment by prepaid debit/credit cards, because no photo identification is required to purchase these cards and the funds are difficult to trace once loaded to the card.” If you spot a scam or have been scammed, Cst. Morris advises you to contact the Canadian AntiFraud Centre, the Competition Bureau or your local police department for assistance.
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS The Village of Chipman, along with residents and sponsors the Lindemann and Seipert families, marked Canadaʼs 148th birthday with a spectacular fireworks show late Wednesday evening. Members of the Village of Chipman Fire Department oversaw the event, and members sold hamburgers and hot dogs at the concession in the park to help raise funds for the department. It was a great way to cap off a wonderful day of celebration!

Chipman Ag. Society hosts successful ATV safety seminar Michelle Pinon Editor Local youth recently participated in an ATV Safety Seminar thanks to the Chipman Agricultural Society. Society President Scott Reid said they had never hosted this type of event before, and was very pleased with the response as all of the available spots, had been filled by registrants. Participants, 25 in total, were not only beneficiaries of certified safety training, the society purchased the helmets for all of the riders. Training was provided by Mudd Safety
Awareness Inc., a Ryley area based company. The first part of the safety seminar included a two hour theory based classroom session in the quonset at the Chipman Ag. Grounds, followed by practical hands on riding in the outdoor corral. Reid said the youth were all from Lamont County and ranged in age from six to 15 years of age. He said safety is the number one priority when it comes to riding ATV’s, and with that, he feels strongly that safety helmets should be mandatory for riders of all ages. Reid said that last year alone, three rid-
ers died, and 38 went to hospital in Alberta. He is hoping the province will create and adopt legisla-
tion to better protect its citizens.

Opinion From Where I Sit: Our Next Test
By Hazel Anaka Dictionary.com defines empathy as “the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.” If we’re lucky, we’ve been on the receiving end of it. We’ve all
shared a heart-warming conversation with someone who ‘gets it.’ Or had someone relate a parallel story that demonstrates an understanding of what we’re going through. A knowing look, a hand on another’s arm, or ‘this-is-whatworked-for-me’ advice generously shared, warms our hearts. If we’re the ones showing empathy, it’s much easier with people who are more like us than different from us even across global lines. For instance, I would have more empathy for a mother in Mexico or Ukraine than a princess in England or Saudi Arabia. I would have more empathy for a fellow baby boomer than a
street person. So, to follow that reasoning most readers of this newspaper who are parents are well positioned to feel profound empathy for the sufferers of the residential school system. The long-awaited recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released in early June detail the ‘cultural genocide.’ I cannot fathom the heartache that families endured as their children were ripped away from their parents by the misguided paternalistic action of church-run residential schools. Sir John A MacDonald referred to these indigenous people as savages. It was a different time
and place and today we find the language and the attitude appalling. And of course, there isn’t a single group of people on earth who haven’t experienced some mistreatment at the hands of others (Japanese, Ukrainian, and other WW II internees), the Jewish holocaust, and so on. Of course, all of these horrors deserve our attention. And empathy for the victims. But the residential school nightmare tugs at my heartstrings for a couple reasons. To put this in terms we can all understand, think about this. For a period of over 100 years the federal government set out to deliberately and systematically obliterate the
aboriginal and his culture in Canada. About 150,000 children were forcibly removed from their families. The last of the schools closed in the late 1990s. The 1990s. Today, can anyone of any colour or race imagine having the ‘authorities’ come to grab a child like my five-year-old grandson, Grady? To have his name replaced with a number? To have his language and beliefs beaten out of him? To know that unspeakable acts of abuse and torture were being inflicted by the all-knowing church community? To never see him again if he (like thousands did) succumbed to his injuries? How can a people not be forever changed,
damaged by these acts? Those scars run deep. There are generational consequences of this tragedy still being felt today. Of course, no one knows how many of the commission’s ninetyfour recommendations will be acted upon. I suspect a museum will open, monuments will be erected, the curriculum will be amended. I will make it my project to read the 418 page executive summary. The truth is now out there. What we do as reconciliation is our next test, from where I sit.
Every town should celebrate Canada Day As a relative newcomer to Lamont, I was shocked that Lamont had no Canada Day celebrations. I realize Bruderheim and Fort Saskatchewan had festivities going on, but what about people who don’t drive, or don’t want to drive. It’s our country’s birthday for heavens sake. A pancake breakfast and fireworks, the occasional flag to show that we are proud of our country isn’t too much to ask. Even Chipman, (who is considerably smaller than Lamont) has some kind of celebration every year. Unless Lamont has separated from Canada, there should have been something going on to celebrate the birth of our great nation. Judi Dutchak

EIPS passes new assessment and reporting policy Sherwood Park, AB — Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees have approved a new policy regarding student assessments and learning. Board Policy 20, Assessment and Reporting of Student Learning encourages and enhances the use of assessments to guide instruction and improve learning within EIPS. “As a Board, we are committed to ensuring ongoing, meaningful, consistent, and accurate assessment for all our students,” says Trina Boymook, the Board Chair of EIPS. “The principles outlined in Policy 20 will guide the Board and our administration in all of our future communications on how student development and achievement is report-
e
d . ” Policy 20 was developed using Alberta Education’s Guide to Education, which specifies all schools and school divisions must report student progress and growth. The policy stipulates assessments must include both formative and summative evaluations and reports need to be communicated regularly throughout the year. This will ensure teachers, parents, and students have a holistic understanding regarding what an individual student knows, and doesn’t know, in relation to the programs of study o u t c o m e s . The expectation is students are able to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes relative to grade-level learner o u t c o m e s .
Church Calendar For more information call 780-895-2780
“This is a policy we are proud of and one our parents, students, and community members have all told us they want,” says Boymook. “The hope is that by communicating valid, accurate, and meaningful information about student achievement and growth we will continue to build confidence in EIPS and the education services we provide.” With the approval of Policy 20, EIPS will next review and update any a p p l i c a b l e Administrative Procedures and develop a division-wide progress report template. Work will continue throughout the summer and further information will be shared with the school community in the fall.

Elk Island Public Schools approves balanced budget Sherwood Park, AB — The Board of Trustees have approved Elk Island Public Schools’ (EIPS) $191.4 million operating budget for the 2015–2016 school year— up $500,000 from the previous year. “We are funded to a level that supports our students and their learning in the classroom,” says Trina Boymook, the Board Chair of EIPS. “The steps the government is taking to maintain its support of education and student success is greatly appreciated as it allows us to continue to provide the high-quality education our community has come to expect.” In March, the PC government announced its 2015 provincial budget, which included significant cuts to education including freezes on funding for enrolment growth, inflation, and classified salary increases; restrictions on school board reserves; and significant decrease in grant funding. Concerned students would be directly impacted, the Board made an unprecedented move and directed its administration to use approximately $1.5 million of the division’s reserves to cover shortfalls in funding to maintain its services, programs, and supports for students. However, on May 28, the newly elected NDP government made several revisions to the 2015 provincial budget, including restoring enrolment growth funding and reinstating previously announced reductions. These changes are significant and total an influx of $2.5 million for EIPS—covering all costs the Board planned to support with its reserves. Overall, EIPS’ total operating budget for the 2015–2016 school year is $191,395,999. Funding from Alberta Education will increase by $3.6 million but because next year’s budget doesn’t currently include the use of reserves, the overall increase to EIPS’
2015–2016 budget is $500,000 more than in the 2014–2015 school year. Looking ahead, EIPS projects an accumulated surplus of $20.2 million as of August 31, 2016, which consists of investments in tangible capital assets, operating reserves, and capital reserves. Funding increases include influxes between 1.5 per cent and 2.9 per cent for base-instruction funding—depending on the grade of the student—and a four per cent increase for classsize funding. Meanwhile, funding decreases including a 1.1 per cent reduction in transportation funding and a 23.1 per cent reduction in Infrastructure Maintenance and Renewal (IMR) funding. Additionally, student enrolment is projected to increase by 0.7 per cent in the 2015–2016 school year, bumping up the total number of students EIPS serves to approximately 16,800. The restored $2.5 million in funding will be used to support a variety of services and programming for students including: inclusive education, student transportation, plant operations and maintenance, lease support, outreach, Hutterite Colony programs, language funding, and programing for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. The Board of Trustees was also able to reinstate surplus allowances for schools and departments—each can carry forward, to a maximum of two per cent, the unexpended portion of their current year’s budget into the following year— to help maintain supports and programs for students and staff. Currently, this reserve carry forward is not factored into the division’s budget, but will be when the Board reviews and approves its fall budgetin November of 2015. In total, the division projects $2.2 million in carry forwards for schools and departments and a stan-

EIPS board chair Trina Boymook dard cost surplus of $1.8 million, which will be offset by additional projects. “Our No. 1 priority throughout the budget has been making decisions that best support teaching and learning within EIPS schools,” says Boymook. “I’m so pleased the budget we put forward for this year puts students, and their well-being, first.” Long term, EIPS will continue to be prudent at finding efficiencies wherever possible, provide the best public education possible for all students, and make its decisions based on the priorities outlined in its 2015–2018 Three-Year Education Plan; it’s vision, mission, and belief statements; and the needs of its communities. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS: • The EIPS operating budget is $191,395,999. • Eighty per cent of the total budget is allocated to instruction. • The 2015–2016 budget is balanced without the use of reserves. • The operating budget for the 2015–2016 school year increased by approximately $500,000 from the year previous. • Restored funds will support a variety of services and programming for students including: inclusive education, student transportation,
plant operations and maintenance, lease support, outreach, Hutterite Colony programs, language funding, and programing for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. • EIPS is projecting $2.2 million in carry forwards for schools and departments, which will be incorporated into the fall budget. EIPS is projecting enrolment to increase in the 2015–2016 school year by 0.7 per cent, bumping up the number of students EIPS serves to 16,800.

Bruderheim School students receive life saving training and equipment Michelle Pinon Editor Sven Danzinger is more than grateful for Enbridge’s donation of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to Bruderheim School. “Hopefully, we’ll never have to use it; but it offers peace of mind if we ever do need it,” stat-
ed Danzinger. He is also very grateful to the Heart and Stroke Foundation for supplying the trainers and expertise to teach the Grade 5 and 6 students, staff and parents, how to properly use the AED machine and how to conduct cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). “This is just one more
way to save lives. It is important, and we are thankful for the gift, their skills and mindset that will help others in the future.” Danzinger said the reason they selected this type of AED machine is so that it can revive young children, (55 lbs. and under) with an alter-
nate set of paddles as well as older children and adults. The school hosts many community based events throughout the school year, and Danzinger said, having that option is an added bonus. Principal Sven Danzinger displays the pouch which contains the paddles.

Currently, Panasiuk is doing outreach work with other municipalities throughout Lamont County. He has already attended several council meetings and will be learning more about planning and development in the local municipalities. “It’s a lot of big picture thinking, but there is lot of hands on work and learning the finer details.� As well, he will be attending special courses, and conferences in addition to his regular workload throughout

Lakeland REA Ltd. - Serving over 1,400 members. “REAs keep corporate utility companies from having a monopoly on rural electricity distribution – once an REA is sold it can never be resurrected and members-owners become just another customer.”
Why are large corporate utilities, like ATCO, accelerating their efforts to expand their monopolies and wipe out rural electric co-operatives? Do the recent change of government and the Speech from the Throne committing “to work in partnership with co-operatives” have large corporate utility companies worried that REAs might grow stronger and offer real competition? What will happen to service and rates when ATCO has a true monopoly and is the only electrical supplier in Northeast Alberta? Are you prepared to give up being a member-owner of a successful electric co-operative to become just another customer among 224,000? Why did ATCO serve the Lakeland REA Board of Directors with an unsolicited purchase offer during negotiations for a new wire owner agreement? We encourage members to attend the information sessions and get the facts about what this means for you, a Lakeland REA member.

Urban Gardening for the Community By Mark Cullen There are many reasons why garden plots are a good idea. Taking control of your own patch of dirt makes sense from a lot of points of view, as does a community garden. The difference between the two is that a community garden is a larger piece of real estate that is dedicated to the collective efforts of a wide variety of people. They share in the responsibilities of sowing, planting, watering, weeding and of course harvesting together. The collective benefits of the experience are parsed out as tomatoes ripen and potatoes are ready to be dug.
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
These students from Mundare School have a blast in the community garden during a recent weeding and watering session.
Garden Plots/Allotments Garden plots (or ‘allotments’) provide sequestered space that is yours alone, though they are located on public land with adjoining plots making up a patchwork of small gardens in a larger scheme. I recommend that urban gardeners everywhere consider the benefits of such an experience. Here are my top 5 reasons: 1. Fresh food. If you grow your own food you will know one thing for sure when you harvest and eat it the same day: it is, indeed, fresh. And why is ‘fresh’ important? It is better for you and it tastes better. Do a taste test and prove it to yourself: on one plate cut up a store bought tomato that has been either greenhouse grown or strip mined in Florida. On the other plate place a fresh tomato from your own garden. Cut them into wedges and taste one, then the other. Fresh is always better. Try this with snap beans, carrots, radishes… the list goes on. 2. Pesticide Free. With the growing pesticide bans you might think that this is a mute
issue. Except for two things, that would be true. A. Farmers are still allowed to use a myriad of chemical pest controls on commercially produced food, including the broccoli that you just bought at the super market for cheap. B. Produce that is grown outside of our country is often produced on farms where pesticide use is not regulated to the extent that it is here in Canada. Believe it or not, there are countries where DDT is still legal for use on farms. And if you think that buying ‘organic’ translates into ‘safe’ I am afraid that is a mistake. The safe management of animal manures is paramount to producing safe food, but it is not well regulated, especially outside of Canada. Grow your own and know what substances have been applied to your food. Then sleep well knowing that you have eaten clean, healthy food. 3. Social Connectivity. Points #1 and #2 apply equally to food that you grow in your own yard or in containers on your balcony, but this point is unique to the community and allotment gardening experience. Getting to know the gardener next to you is both an education and an opportunity to expand your mind. The exchange of cultural information as it relates to the plants that you are growing is just as important as the exchange of greetings early in the morning. We connect with each other on a very special level when we share our interests with like minded individuals. 4. Shared harvest. I can’t grow peas. Believe me, I have tried. Some people call me a ‘garden guru’ and I hope that they never read this, but peas seem to hate me as they fail every time I sow them. The common experience of gardening is never richer than at harvest time. In the community garden we stand side by side as we hoe the beets and water the tomatoes from spring through summer. In the garden plot we share sunscreen and
hand tools, only to exchange some great looking vegetables as the harvest occurs. I will trade you three yellow zucchinis for a quart of pear shaped tomatoes. You get the point. 5. Compost. Gardening Rule #1: always start with good quality soil. It doesn’t matter if you are gardening in your own yard or in public space; all experienced gardeners agree that you need to plant in good soil if you want to succeed. How do you make good soil? Add compost. As raw vegetative material rots down it converts, through the miracle of decomposition, into the elixir of great soil. Compost: there is no substitute for it. Add generous quantities to the soil at the time of planting. And finally it is important to note that community gardens and allotment gardens offer unique experiences for anyone with a green thumb or wishing to earn one. Experienced gardeners have a habit of wanting to share their knowledge and the fruits of their labour. Not to mention moments of pure levity. There is laughter and delight among the bok choi and celery. Trust me. *Mark Cullen appears on Canada AM every Wednesday morning at 8:40. He is the Lawn & Garden Expert for Home Hardware.
