Below, two members of Team Korea get low as they navigate around the rocks. Below right is longtime resident and curler Ken Hawryluk, who has played in the bonspiel for the past 30 years.

When the Sieker rink found out they would be facing Team Korea in the Mundane Mens Curling Bonspiel on Saturday, they did what any selfrespecting and patriotic person would do; they headed to Vegreville in search of Team Canada attire for the matchup.

As fortune would have it, they found hoodies and baseball caps to wear for the big game.

Former Lamont residents Devin Sieker, (skip), along with brother Jordan Sieker, (lead), Chris Cholak, (2nd), and Eldon Kliachik, (3rd), were decked out in red and white, with the Team Canada logo when they took to the ice around 8 p.m.

The lounge was packed with fellow participants and fans, and it was an interesting matchup for certain. It didn’t take long before they faced a huge challenge as Team Korea was able to regularly put their shots in the rings.

For the most part, those were the shots that counted.

When Jordan came off the ice, he wanted to talk about Team Canada’s point in the fourth end, but did not want to talk about the final score. He, along with his teammates, were gracious enough to pose for a team photo afterwards.

Even though Team Sieker may not be contenders for the World Championship, Team Korea may one day qualify for that elite competition with the best of the best. Either way, they will keep throwing their best shots.

Trevor Zarchiw, President of the Mundare Curling Club, said after the World Curling Tour Alberta Championship, (that was slated to take place in Mundare but was cancelled), Team Korea contacted him to see if they would be able to play in the mens bonspiel. Of course, he found space for the international foursome, as they brought a different approach and culture to the event. In the end, it was a win-win for both Canadians and Koreans alike.

Opinion Political Fodder This editor doesn’t get onto Facebook as often as I would like, but this letter caught my eye, and I wanted to pass it on to you, our readers.

An Open Letter to Donald Trump: Dear Mr. Trump, I try my hardest not to be political. I’ve refused to interview several of your fellow candidates. I don’t want to wrist any personal goodwill by appearing to take sides in a contentious election. I thought: ‘Maybe the timing is not right.’ But I realize now that there is no correct time to oppose violence and prejudice. The time is always now. Because along with millions of Americans, I’ve come to realize that opposing you is no longer a political decision. It is a moral one.

I’ve watched you retweet racist images.

I’ve watched you retweet racist lies. I’ve watched you take 48 hours to disavow white supremacy.

I’ve watched you joyfully encourage violence, and promise to ‘pay the legal fees’ of those who commit violence on your behalf.

I’ve watched you advocate the use of torture and the murder of terrorists’

families. I’ve watched you gleefully tell stories of executing Muslims with bullets dipped in pig blood. I’ve watched you compare refugees to ‘snakes,’ and claim that ‘Islam hates us.’

I am a journalist, Mr. Trump. And over the last two years I have conducted extensive interviews with hundreds of Muslims, chosen at random, on the streets of Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan. I’ve interviewed hundreds of Syrian and Iraqi refugees across seven different countries. And I can confirm - the hateful one is you.

Those of us who have been paying attention will not allow you to rebrand yourself. You are not a ‘unifier.’ You are not ‘presidential.’

You are not a ‘victim’ of the very anger that you’ve joyfully enflamed for months.

You are a man who had encouraged prejudice and violence in the pursuit of personal power.

And though your words will no doubt change over the next few months, you will always remain who you are.

Sincerely, Brandon Stanton Humans of New York Published by Brandon Stanton

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, On Feb. 16 2016 NDP leader Thomas Mulcair asked Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay “When he would restore the Canadian Wheat Board”, now that the evidence is in that the private grain companies had taken $6.5 billion from grain farmers in the last two years. The Ministers answer must have shocked Mulcair and certainly should have shocked western farmers. Yes, he said the Wheat Board had been sold (reminding Conservatives that a contract is a contract) and he would not be seizing assets, no matter how they were disposed of

from G3, which is the combo of Saudi Arabia and Bunge, one of the world’s giant private grain companies. The fact that this response triggered a standing ovation from Conservative M Ps speaks volumes.

In October 2011 Liberal Agriculture and AgriFood Critic Frank Valeroite, and Liberal Deputy Leader and former minister responsible for the CWB, Ralph Goodale said “The government’s decision to kill single desk selling is a clear violation of the Canadian Wheat Board Act, which insists on democratic producer control. The Act also insists that any changes to the CWB must be

made in consultation with their Board of Directors and with farmers directly, something this government has blatantly refused to do.”

When bill C-18 was recently tested in the Federal Court, Judge Douglas Campbell, on Dec 7, 2011, ruled that Ritz violated terms of the existing CWB Act by failing to hold a vote among producers about his proposal to end the CWB’s monopoly on wheat and barley sales In other words, the CWB was then ‘Illegally gained goods’ So, what in fact Macaulay, and the Liberal Government is saying is that it is okay for corporate interests to

keep ‘illegally gained goods” leaving western grain farmers to suffer the consequences.

In spite of the Liberal election promises, we now find that the Trudeau government and the new Minister of Agriculture, like the “Emperor with no clothes” stand revealed as no friends of Western grain farmers.

And don’t tell us that the majority of us are happy with “marketing freedom”, because there has yet to be a referendum that proves it.

From Where I Sit: Not Sure

By Hazel Anaka About a hundred years ago (okay, maybe more like thirty-five) I was on the executive of the Andrew Chamber of Commerce. We were a small but enthusiastic group of business and like-minded people. We actively worked to help the village grow or at the least slow the losses.

Anyone old enough to remember knows there have always been losses (think creamery, lumber yard, grain elevators, optometrist office, pharmacy, full-time RCMP detachment, et cetera).

We organized events like a snowmobile poker rally.

During that time of working to make things better there was an act of public vandalism: buildings spray painted with graffiti. I, among others, was angry, disappointed, and confused by the senselessness of willfully damaging someone else’s property.

I had a platform in the media. As the organization’s secretary I had an intermittent column in a couple area newspapers to bring Chamber news to the public. Armed with the arrogance of (relative!) youth and that platform I wrote about the crime spree.

Somewhere in my tear sheets I’m sure I’ve still got the column.

Here’s what I know.

Like anyone, I was within my rights to express my opinion and outrage as long as I did it truthfully. I did. Because the perpetrators were unknown, no names were ever mentioned.

What happened next shocked me. Angry letters to the editor appeared. The community was divided into those who believed it was a foolish and destructive act we shouldn’t have to stand for and those who defended the act of misguided kids. Someone threatened me with the prospect of an impending call from Eddie Keen who was a fearsome and influential radio personality on CHED at the time. The RCMP were also investigating.

Luckily, soon after, I was heading to a weeklong retreat at Olds College with my young son. The distance was welcome. I was sick and saddened by the firestorm I’d created. I was so sure I was coming down on the side of right, the no-brainer response to something that happened in my town, a town I was contributing to in several positive ways.

As I sought to understand and learn from this

experience I did some soul-searching. Yes, the facts of the event and the column were true. What I hadn’t considered was that the guilty parties were someone’s kids or grandkids. What I didn’t know then, but have since seen over and over again, is that some will always defend bad behaviour rather than allow the natural, expected consequences of an action to unfold, as it should. Consequences that would (hopefully) serve as a life-altering, character building experience; the immutable universal law called cause and effect.

The good news is, I learned we are only answerable for our own actions, not those of our kids or spouse or coworkers or relatives.

The bad news is, I’m less likely to take a public stand, pro or con, about anything that really matters. This many years later I’m not sure that was the desired outcome, from where I sit.

Preparing students for the world of work

EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook

What defines a successful school or education system? The answer goes far beyond just student achievement.

While student achievement is important, other factors also contribute to success—such as safe and caring environments; access to learning opportunities; parent involvement; a division’s efforts to continuously improve; and the ability to prepare students for life-long learning, the world of work, and citi-

zenship. By examining all six factor together, we get a very clear picture of how a school division, and school, is performing.

Annually, Elk Island Public Schools assesses how it’s doing in all these areas using Alberta E d u c a t i o n ’ s Accountability Pillars survey. I’m proud to say, year over year, both our Division, and our schools, score notably high. That said, our Board is continually

striving to improve even more.

One of the ways we do this is by engaging the communities we serve.

Recently, we reached out to four local Chambers of Commerce in a specific conversation about new and innovative ways to prepare our students for the world of work. We asked: What are the skills and qualities businesses need from our students, both now and in the future, to grow and prosper? And, how can we

prepare students to become well-rounded, contributing citizen within our communities?

Our young learners represent our future leaders, researchers, technologists, entrepreneurs, and cultural giants. We chose to reach out to our business community because it has a unique perspective on preparing students for the years ahead.

Collectively, our school board, parents, the community, nonprofit organ-

izations, and the business community all have important roles to play in helping prepare students. From this vantage point, we can ensure students know what opportunities exists and have the skills needed to take advantage of them.

Our Board of Trustees is looking forward to hearing back from Chamber members and working together in partnerships that will benefit our students—and our communities.

School and administrative fees to be reviewed Michelle Pinon Editor

Recently the Edmonton Catholic School Board voted unanimously to waive basic school fees for families this coming school year.

As to whether Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) will follow suit remains unclear at this time. EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook said the board has not yet made any decisions about reducing or eliminating any specific fees for the coming school year. “We will wait to see what comes from the provincial government in their budget announcement this April before making any decisions so we have the best information possible.”

While elimination of school fees would be welcome news for par-

ents, it could generate a lot of concern for the school division that would likely have to pick up the tab for those fees.

In the case of Edmonton Catholic, the decision to waive school fees for the coming school year will cost that school district an estimated $7 million.

“At this time, the latest information from the provincial government is that school boards would be responsible for recovering any lost revenue as a result of fee reductions or eliminations next year.

They have not yet provided any specific direction to school boards on reducing or eliminating fees.

As a board, we do not have any specific plans to advocate to the provincial government regarding school fees at this time; however, if fees are mandated to be

reduced or eliminated, we would expect that we will be financially compensated by the government for any negative effect a reduction of school fees may have.

The fees charged allow us, as a division, to provide the level of service we do. In order to main-

tain the same level of service to our families, the funding would need to come from somewhere.”

Edmonton Catholic is planning to take the $7 million tab for its school fees out of its operating budget. As far as EIPS goes, it reviews its school

Bill 4 will treat all public sector workers equally, says Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Littlewood

By Jessica Littlewood Our government recently introduced important essential services legislation to modernize Alberta’s labour laws and ensure that

employers, government and unions work together for the benefit of all Albertans.

Bill 4, An Act to Implement a Supreme Court Ruling Governing Essential Services, was introduced in response to a January 2015 Supreme Court of Canada decision that determined that the right to strike is fundamental to meaningful collective bargaining.

Two months later the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta declared that

strike prohibitions and bans written into Alberta law are also unconstitutional. The courts have been clear: public sector workers have the right to strike.

Currently, The Public Service Employee Relations Act and the Labour Relations Code ban many public sector workers from striking.

Instead they provide mandatory arbitration to resolve collective bargaining disputes. These laws must be revised to bring our province in line with the courts and ensure we do not interfere with the rights of public sector employees.

Bill 4 will treat all public sector workers equally. It will bring people to the table, like corrections

officers, who were previously unable to take part in discussions about what essential services are, which employees are considered to be essential, and which services will be maintained during work stoppages.

I mention corrections officers specifically because in the past they have been excluded from legislation that would have greatly benefited them and their families.

In 2012, when the previous government passed legislation to provide enhanced support for PTSD to first responders, corrections officers were not included. I believe this needs to change.

Bill 4 will ensure that instead of the top-down decision making

approach being used, a collaborative process will be in place. Public sector employers and unions will work together to determine what essential services will be maintained in the event of a work stoppage. If they can’t reach an agreement, a neutral third party will resolve the dispute quickly and efficiently.

This legislation is particularly meaningful to me. Before being elected as your MLA for Fort SaskatchewanVegreville, I worked as a nursing attendant in long-term care. These vulnerable people need care under every circumstance. We, as front-line workers, recognize this but also want to have our

rightful place at the negotiating table. As front-line workers, providing essential services is a crucial part of our professional ethic. We are deeply committed to delivering the best care we can under any and all circumstances.

The health and safety of our patients are always top of mind, and we take this concern with us everywhere – including the bargaining table.

I am proud to support legislation that balances the right of unionized workers to exercise the right to collective bargaining – including going on strike – with the assurance that essential services will be protected for the public.

Tips from the public lead to Mounties charging man with 17 offenses On March 18, at approximately 3:45 pm, Smoky Lake RCMP were dispatched to a report of a single vehicle collision on Highway 28 west of Smoky Lake.

Witnesses reported the male driver acting erratic and attempting to flee

the scene. Police arrived and were able to arrest the male who was suspected to be under the influence of drugs.

During the course of the investigation, police confirmed that the vehicle the male was driving was stolen from

Edmonton earlier in the week.

Further investigation

by Smoky Lake and Redwater RCMP members revealed that the subject had a quantity of property in his possession that was stolen from several recent occur-

rences in the Radway area including a break and enter, and a theft from a local gas station.

Local priest composes liturgical masterpiece Michelle Pinon Editor

For Father John Sembrat, it is the busiest week’s of the year.

Father Sembrat OSBM, and head of Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in Vegreville, has much to do in so little time as he prepares for masses, prayers, and what will be a historic Western Canadian Concert Series featuring his original liturgical composition, Resurrectional Divine Liturgy according to the Ukrainian Byzantine Rite.

Father Sembrat, 72, will be hitting the r o a d March 30 for the concert series that will begin in Regina at Holy Rosary Cathedral, proceed to St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church in Winnipeg, onward to Saskatoon at Knox United Church. The final concert will be held on Saturday, April 2 at St. Joseph’s Basilica at 7:30 p.m.

Father Sembrat, who served in several local Ukrainian Catholic Churches in the Lamont, Skaro, Star,

Chipman, and Hilliard parishes between 1998 and 1999, will be listening to the concert right along with everyone else. Father Sembrat says the concert series will be quite an adventure, and he will be there to encourage and listen to 55 of the best vocalists from Canada and the Ukraine during that week.

“It’s all coming down to the wire,” stated Sembrat from his office early Saturday afternoon. Father Sembrat has had many postings since he took his final vows in 1963, and became an ordained priest with the Order of St. Basil the Great.

Even though he always had a passion to compose music, the opportunities to write a liturgical composition were few and far between because of his rigorous work schedule over the years. “I did most of this work by Lac Set. Anne over the space of 14 years,” said Fr. Sembrat.

As chance or luck or divine intervention would have it, Fr. Sembrat got the opportunity through a special ad hoc committee of The Resurrectional Liturgy Project to test

out five parts of the liturgy. “That was about five years ago,” added Fr. Sembrat. The piece was recorded for documentation, and with the financial assistance of a close friend he was able to keep the project afloat, and have the full length version recorded last summer.

He played the unedited master CD while on vacation this past November, and his close friend paid one of the highest compliments to Fr. Sembrat by saying, “Your teacher would have been proud.”

There is no question the masterpiece will go right into the repertoire of Ukrainian Music to soon be shared with thousands upon thousands of people in perMICHELLE PINON PHOTO son and on the internet.

Innovative wellness and weight loss program offered by locally based pharmacy in Mundare SUBMITTED ARTICLE Did you know that Weight Loss — even as small as 5 – 10% of your weight, can help improve your self esteem, any medical conditions such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, etc, and potentially increase your life span?

Weight loss in so many ways is like quitting smoking. It is not easy to quit tobacco use but when you commit your energy, effort and get the right support and accountability system in place, you will achieve nothing short of a “non smoking status”. The same analogy will go for the programs involved in weight loss or weight management.

However, it is an established fact that when you put your mind to it, put your laser focus energy, and crystalize your efforts, truly “amazing shapely transformation” can take place in you. It is not for the faint hearted but for those who want to avoid “fainting heart and health”.

Research Studies show that 80% of dieters are “doit-yourselfers”; they bounce from one diet to another and are largely responsible for the birth of the term “yo-yo dieting”. Unfortunately, solely focusing on rapid weight loss only provides a temporary solution to life long weight problems. If you’re like most people, you’ve probably tried a number of dieting options (maybe you feel like you tried them all), but none have given you the long-term results you want

or deserve.

That is why we, at Royal Care Compounding Pharmacy in Mundare, are committed and passionate about bringing IDEAL PROTEIN Weight Loss Program to the community. Ideal Protein is a proven, four-part medically designed method that enables safe, rapid weight loss, with a healthy lifestyle approach and a structured maintenance program to sustain weight loss.

Ideal Protein targets the root cause of weight gain by reversing the imbalance of insulin that occurs with the typical Western diet. Healthier lifestyle education is a key component of all phases of the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method, which features personalized, one-on-one coaching and a diet plan to promote losing fat while maintaining muscle mass.

So what sets it apart from the rest of the competition? What factors do you consider when choosing a weight loss program? Does it teach you smarter lifestyle choices as alluded to earlier? The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method does just that.

Ideal Protein program was medically developed and comes in 4 parts. Phase 1 focuses on weight loss while Phases 2 and 3 focus on pre-stabilization & Phase 4 focuses on weight management. During the latter phases, our weight loss coaches empower participants with the knowledge to develop better eating habits that help them sustain a stable weight after

dieting. If you are looking for a simple and result-oriented program, look no further.

Come JOIN our NEW Simple Structured program that has helped thousands get to their desired or Ideal body weight & Maintained it!

Illustrious history of Victoria Hotel recaptured

One of the collageʼs photos above shows three nurses on the front veranda of the hotel in the early years.

Back in 1918-1919, there was a break-out of the Spanish Influenza, and the upstairs of the hotel was used as a temporary hospital. The entire village was quarantined, and the road entrances were roped off.

Police supplied the village with medicine and thermometers. Eleven deaths were reported in the area during that November.

By Michelle Pinon Editor

The historic Victoria Hotel in downtown Bruderheim was the focus of a special presentation Wednesday evening at the fire hall.

The 119-year-old iconic landmark on the corner of Queen Street was paid tribute to by the Town of Bruderehim and the Bruderheim Agricultural Society, who recently completed a commemorative collage of photographs and history of the hotel that has played a role in many local people’s lives since it began operating in 1897.

Members of the Krause family were the first owners of the hotel. In 1910, Adam Krause took sole ownership of the establishment.

One of the most notable periods in history was between 1918-1919 during the outbreak of the deadly Spanish Influenza, and the attic of the hotel was converted into a makeshift hospital for infected patients. Hazel Zacharko, who

Both the Town of Bruderheim and the Bruderheim Ag. Society partnered to commemorate the hotelʼs 119 years in business on the corner of Queen Street.

has worked at the hotel for the past 32 years, recalls going into the attic and seeing the words carved in the rafters that said: “No Niggers welcome.”

“I’ll be 67 next month, but I don’t want to retire,” said Hazel, who has worked alongside former owner and current manager Emil Erdmann since her tenure began.

When Hazel first came to work in the hotel in 1967, she worked in the restaurant as a waitress for a couple of years before having children. She came back to work at the hotel a few years later, and noted the hotel had an addition which housed a pool hall and barber shop for a time.

Emil Erdmann’s parents bought the hotel in the 1970’s. The business was passed on to Emil, who in turn, sold the hotel to Jocelyn Groleau in the fall of 2014. Currently Emil manages the hotel which holds many memories for him, as well as for past and present patrons, who continue to support the local business.

This photo was taken in the early 1920ʼs. Since then, a number of renovations have been done to the iconic hotel.

Heartland 101: Turnarounds and construction time SUBMITTED ARTICLE Spring means the start of camping, soccer, and gardening. To the facilities in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, spring means the start of turnaround season and the continuation of construction projects.

Warmer weather in the spring and summer makes it easier to perform the regular maintenance that’s required on an industrial facility. This involves equipment inspections and, if necessary, repairs, replacements, and technology upgrades. Spring also allows for certain construction activities to progress more quickly and with less difficulty than in frigid winter temperatures.

Regular maintenance ensures the facilities are safe and efficient. Because certain maintenance tasks can’t be done unless production is decreased or stopped altogether, companies must schedule turnarounds on a regular basis. Depending on the facility, a turnaround can last as short as a few days, or up to a month or longer.

Construction and turnarounds generate additional local spending on goods and services. They also create employment, as extra manpower is required to complete these projects.

This added manpower may result in a noticeable increase in traffic on local highways. In some cases, such as the Sturgeon Refinery project, a busing program helps alleviate some of the traffic challenges.

Many companies use the UPDATEline to keep the community informed about turnaround and construction activities. Call the UPDATEline at 1.866.653.9959 to access pre-recorded messages about industry activity 24 hours a day.

Construction activities at North West Redwater Partnership’s Sturgeon Refinery site will be ongoing throughout 2016. Companies with planned turnarounds this year include: Spring, Mar/Apr/May • Air Liquide • Keyera

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, March 22, 2016 - 19

Lamont Ladies Funspiel participants pay tribute to the late curler Irene Hackett Michelle Pinon Editor

Irene Hackett was passionate about the sport of curling.

Hackett, who passed away three weeks ago, was fondly remembered by club members during the Lamont Ladies Funspiel this past weekend. In fact, club members dedicated the funspiel in her memory, one that lives on in the hearts and minds of many people in the community, not just the curling community.

The former high school teacher spent countless hours teaching youth the game as well as playing the game.

Described as short and fiesty, and a ‘real competitor’, Hackett gave everything she had to promote curling in the community, and served on the club’s executive board for more than 30 years, and was one of the club’s original charter members. Irene was also the club

historian, and documented many events with pictures and words.

“She taught me and coached me,” said Janine Whiting. “She put a lot into this curling rink.”

Gerald Maschmeyer has high praise for Irene. “She was a very committed lady. She was passionate about junior curling and curling in general.”

He went on to say that Irene spent countless hours at the rink, and even when she and other members of the executive board stepped down, she found replacements.

“Every club or organization needs an Irene,” added Maschmeyer.

Hackett’s contributions were formally recognized by the Northern Alberta Curling Association which presented her with its Award of Merit in 2008.

In between her shots on the ice, Betty Malica said Irene was very devoted and will be missed by one and all who had the privilege to know her.

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE LAMONT CURLING CLUB

Irene Hackett, left, passed away recently, but her memory and curling legacy lives on in the hearts of Lamont Curling Club members. Hackett was a teacher at Lamont High School and taught both high school curling as well as the junior program at the club, and was a member on the clubʼs executive board for more than 30 years. In this photo, Hackett congratulates the junior/senior hot shot winners: Chad Koziak, gold, Cory Cholak, silver, and Quinn Arndt, bronze, during the fun competition.

MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS

Members of the Hosers team sweep hard over the hog line during one of their games during the fun-filled ladies bonspiel in Lamont this past weekend.

For the younger generation, the term hoser was one of the terms of endearment the two fictional Canadian brothers called each other on their SCTV comedy sketch ʻGreat White Northʼ in the early ʻ80ʼs.

The Last Leprechauns were all smiles after their final game of the bonspiel late Saturday afternoon. Pictured from left to right are: Nellie Sobkow, Terri Boyko, Donna Kliachik, and Iris Kliachik.

Super Heroes and super curlers Alisha Moser, Shaelyn Whiting, Delina-Rae Wilchak, and Ainsley Lopushinsky were formidable opponents during the annual ladies bonspiel in Lamont March 18 and 19.

The Trolltastic team of Quinn Arndt, top left, Stephanie Starko, top right, Kelsey Kelly, bottom left, and Kara Starko, bottom right, were one of 20 teams who participated in the annual event in Lamont this past weekend.
