Andrew Mayor vows to continue lobbying Michelle Pinon Editor

Village of Andrew Mayor Heather Tait told her counterparts during the Nov. 9 council meeting that she will continue to lobby and be an advocate and a voice for all community needs, including senior citizens and the local lodge. Tait, who participated in a conference call between Consultant Gary Gordon and Dr. Dobbs the previous day, said they made inquiries as to the feasibility of the Andrew Lodge. “At the commencement of our discussion the concerns were: “Andrew Lodge continuance may not be attainable due to low occupancy and non-sustainability as the Province of Alberta cannot continue to fund it.” Tait countered by stating: “There hasn’t been advertisement regarding lodge rates, availability, supportive services or any other communication efforts for increased occupancy, all of which have been counter intuitive for a fundamental

anchor for our municipality.” She also stated how this situation may be rectified, including: increasing the status of the lodge from a level one to a level two, income mixing to crease sustainability, increasing awareness of availability to include AISH recipients by providing ongoing information to Vegreville and Fort Saskatchewan, allowing seniors to age in place in the community. Another idea she had was to advertise that people can rent rooms, ie mixed ages, increase two or more room sizes as was done in the past, and have resident’s activities reflect their average age, which is approximately 86 at present. “Our community is just as important for our community members as any other. Also, the Province of Alberta along with the whole of Canada is in a deficit regarding the high need of lodges. The government can’t continue to shut down rural lodges as our people still need some-

where to go.” She encouraged Gary Gordon and Dr. Dobbs to work with them to help sustain the lodge through upgrades and diversification. “The discussion went from direr and bleak to room for potential upgrades and level status change along with mixing income and levels of care as potential options.” Community engagement was also discussed, and a future meeting with seniors

and community members is a possibility sometime in the near future. Coun. Eldon Feniak commended Tait on her efforts. “Keep lobbying for what you see fit.” Feniak also recalled the time when the elimination of ambulance service was happening, and how, because of lobbying efforts is the reason the village still has that service. “It’s absolutely essential it continues, and I will keep working on it,” said Tait.

Dangers of Fentanyl to be discussed at community session Michelle Pinon Editor

Organizers of an upcoming presentation on the real dangers of fentanyl and other illicit drugs are hoping to turn the event into an educational campaign for the entire community. Fort Saskatchewan RCMP, Heartland Citizens on Patrol (COP) and staff at Lamont High School (LHS) are partnering to host an evening prevention at Lamont High School on Nov. 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the gymnasium. Principal Sharon McLean is hoping students, staff, parents and community members will pack the gym for the information sharing session that will be led by Cst. Brad McIntosh. Cst. Derrick Koller, who serves as the RCMP

liaison for Heartland Citizens On Patrol, conveyed in a recent email to Cst. McIntosh that reports had been made to town councillors that a youths were hospitalized after ingesting “pop rock” candies which were believed to be illicit drugs. Cst. Koller went on to state that no police reports have been filed regarding hospitalization of any youths at this point Cst. Koller went on to say, “Whether or not this incident is determined to be a real case of drugs being passed on as candies I can not say at this point, however, as the Community Policing Officer I can say that this incident has impacted our rural community. I would like to take this event and turn it into an education campaign to warn the community

about the real dangers of fentanyl and illicit drugs.” During a recent conference for patrol and police officers and border agents, Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley told the participants that fentanyl continues to pose a considerable threat to the people of Alberta. “From January to June of this year, there were 153 people who died in Alberta from apparent drug overdoses related to fentanyl. This compares to 139 people who died from fentanyl overdoses over the same period last year.” It was also reported that the Government of Alberta has taken measures to reduce the impact of fentanyl in the province and have improved funding for law enforcement and provided grants to communi-

ties for drug awareness programs. The province

Jeremy Bauer The vehicle was driven by Jeremy Lane Bauer, a 38 year old male who was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property the week prior. Bauer was arrested for outstanding warrants for trafficking in stolen

property and breaches of the bail conditions he was at large on. The vehicle that he was driving was not registered nor insured and the plate on the vehicle did not belong to the vehicle. Three further licence plates were found in the vehicle, all of which were stolen. Bauer was arrested and charged with numerous counts of possession of stolen property, along with failing to comply with release conditions. As well he was charged with multiple offences under the Traffic Safety Act.

Opinion Any other day... any other time I was standing outside near the cenotaph in the Town of Mundare on Nov. 11. Standing across from me were several members of Canadian Armed Forces Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry as well as three members of the 324 Mundare Air Cadet Squadron. Sitting in the bleachers were about 100 people who came to pay their respects on Remembrance Day. Located beside Secondary Highway 855, the busy thoroughfare was not closed to traffic, and the steady stream of vehicles driving past proved to be quite distracting for me. As the minutes went by, and the cars and trucks drove by, I could feel myself getting angry. I was thinking, who are these people and where could they be going? What is more important than paying your respects to the soldiers who died defending our rights and freedoms? When two minutes of silence was held, there really was no silence, but I have to say thank you to the driver of the vehicle who stopped their truck during the time of reflection. Then the vehicles started moving again. I glanced down the highway facing north where I could see people coming and going from the Esso station. The only word that came to mind was respect. Why weren’t these people publicly paying their respects to the men and women who have been killed and injured in battle? It was only a few days ago when a couple of employees of retail outlets in West Edmonton Mall went public that they were being ordered to open their doors before 11 a.m. Thankfully, public backlash was swift to condemn the decision. But as I stood there on Friday morning, I thought why isn’t there any local protest? To be fair, there were other gas and convenience stations open in other communities throughout Lamont County during Remembrance Day ceremonies. It made me sad, and I thought about the erosion of some of our most basic values, including: RESPECT. Soldiers sacrifice everything for our

freedom, and so many don’t acknowledge that. I shake my head in dismay questioning what could be more important than paying our respects on Nov. 11? I remember when the debate over Sunday shopping first came to light. By the government allowing businesses to open their doors on what was a day of rest, and for most, a day to pray and attend church, it has opened the door to many other issues and conflicts over the past 30 some odd years. The Lord’s Day Act was struck down on April 24, 1985 on the grounds that it contravented the freedom of religion and conscience provision in the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. The Alberta Court of Appeal dealt with the equal protection doctrine in its 1988 decision in the London Drugs case. It rejected an equal protection challenge to a municipal bylaw which obliged some retailers, as opposed to other sectors of the business community, such as wholesalers, manufacturers and construction enterprises, to close one day a week. The Court concluded that a "legislature may choose to cure the most pressing needs, and select simple workable legislation; it need not tune with great precision." These three decisions mean that federal and provincial laws and municipal bylaws which use Sunday closing rules to promote nonreligious objectives (such as family activities) and grant exemptions to those whose religion recognizes a day other than Sunday as of special significance will survive Charter review. Well, I think its high time municipalities as well as the provincial and federal governments review legislation, and prohibit the opening of retail outlets before 12 Noon on November 11. It seems like such a small consolation considering the magnitude of the sacrifices soldiers and their families have made for all Albertans and Canadians. Michelle Pinon

Long-time volunteer recognized Dear Editor, I am writing on behalf of the Lamont County Community Adult Learning Council (CALC) to acknowledge – and make sure County residents are aware of – the amazing contribution made by Carol Lynn Babiuk. We, who serve as volunteer board members of Lamont County Community Adult Learning Council (CALC), are very aware of the number of minutes, hours and days that have been invested into our organization by Carol Lynn Babiuk over the past twenty (20) years. Yes - twenty years!!! After all this time, Carol Lynn is resigning from the CALC board. She informed us that there is a season for everything and she has reached her season for harvest to happen. Carol Lynn has often helped the Board understand the history of adult learning as it has

Carol Lynn Babiuk evolved; she has weathered the changing Provincial mandates with us; and we can’t begin to imagine how big the learning curve would be for someone who has been active in our organization for that length of time. (Nor can we imagine what life on the Board will be without her!) We applaud her and cannot thank her enough for sticking with us to help us transition into our new identity. Carol Lynn has a high level of commitment not just to CALC but to her community at large, a wide network of resources, a calm perseverance, a deep capacity for compassion and understanding – and a pretty

wicked sense of humour. Those of us who know her are fully aware that Carol Lynn is active in numerous causes. Any cause she supports or engages in is lucky beyond words. The Lamont County CALC staff and board members feel privileged to have worked with Carol Lynn. We want to honour her with a fraction of what she has bestowed unto us. We want Lamont Leader readers to see the abundance of good that we know exists because of people like Carol Lynn. We live in a complex world where it is easy to get mired in all that appears wrong or sad. We are often too busy to take a minute or two to look around us and see the abundance of good that surrounds us. Next time you bump into Carol Lynn, feel free to let her know that she’s part of what makes Lamont County good! Debbie Holland CALC Director

From Where I Sit: Do The Work

By Hazel Anaka With about six weeks left until the end of the year I’ve already exceeded my goal of reading sixty books in 2016. I’m at sixty-five. What has helped immeasurably has been the audio books I’ve counted towards the total. Whether they’ve been mine or borrowed from the library, they’ve made driving both pleasurable and productive.

The audio book that had the biggest impact on me is Byron Katie’s “Your Inner Awakening.” I listened to the six disks three times back to back. Even though I couldn’t do any of ‘The Work’ as I was driving, the impact of the author’s sweet voice telling her story and interacting with people in her courses had a profound effect on me. I felt a pervasive calm and insight. I felt empathy for people I was angry at or had been hurt by. I felt like I’d been given a gift. Thirty years ago Katie found herself in the depths of despair. A sudden and profound insight led to The Work that has since helped hundreds of thousands of people. The simplicity

of the process is definitely part of its appeal. No one needs years of therapy or thousands of dollars. Relief is close at hand and free for the asking. Katie’s famous four questions transform lives. Begin by picking a concept that is troubling you. It can be the thought that you need more money or that your mother doesn’t love you or that your spouse never listens or that your kid is disrespectful. Or any of a thousand other beliefs causing you pain. To investigate the concept she suggests closing your eyes, being still, and witnessing what surfaces as you answer the questions. The questions are: 1. Is it true? Yes or no. If

it’s no, go to number 3. (eg. My mother doesn’t love me.) 2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true? Yes or no. 3. How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? (Sadness, pain, lost opportunity, et cetera) 4. Who would you be without the thought? (Happier, grateful, loving, et cetera) Then do the turnaround. Turn your original statement around to the self, to the other, to the opposite and find three concrete examples of how each turnaround is true for you. (I don’t love me. I don’t love my mother. My mother does love me.) Don’t cheat. Despite the gushing I’ve done,

Social club brings families and community members together for the greater good Michelle Pinon Editor

Members of the Century Orthodox Parishes Social Club are in the midst of final preparations for its major fundraiser of the year this Saturday, Nov. 19. The Club’s family friendly Pyrohy Supper & Dance promised to be filled with plenty of fun and a delicious traditional Ukrainian meal for one and all at the Smoky Lake Complex. “We try to make it a family focused type of event,” says Secretary Sylvia Chinery. To that end they provide children’s entertainment, silent auction, 50/50 and cash raffles, as well as the best hospitality around. “I hope this event will be the most successful ever,” says new member Tamara Lupul, who has been busy canvassing businesses and organizations throughout the region for donations in recent weeks. Lupul, who joined the Club about a year ago has nothing but high praise for the group and its members, who made her feel welcome from the outset. The club, which began operating five years ago, has no formal membership, and anyone from its eight Orthodox Churches can join. President Stan Presisniuk said the Club has succeeded well beyond his original vision. “It’s a great way to meet new people,” and he is so thankful for the volunteers who have come from throughout the region. “Our purpose is to bring together people from different communities to enjoy social events, to perform charitable works, and to pre-

the good vibes won’t ‘stick’ until I do the work in writing. Mentally answering the questions doesn’t cut it. Luckily, all the paperwork we need to do this is available as a free download on Katie’s

website. Until I sit down to work my own issues I take comfort in the knowledge that it’s possible to be happier, more peaceful if I’m willing to do the work, from where I sit.

A lot has changed at the Lamont Public Library over the past year, and to celebrate, they held an open house on Nov. 3. On hand for the event was new School Librarian Angela Wendorff, Public Librarian Krystal Kinash, and Northern Lights Library System (NLLS) representative Kayla Lorenzen. Lamont is one of 47 communities to join NLLS, which offers a multitude of services and resources that were not possible before. There are in-house physical and online electronic resources available to students and members of the public alike. “We’re also bringing in more content electronically.” Having free digital movies, music and so much more with the 24/7 TRAC library card has opened a world of possibilities to patrons. “Essentially it has taken our library and multiplied it to 150 options,” said Wendorff. So even if the Lamont Library doesn’t own the book you are looking for, it can borrow it from another library, usually with only a short wait time. Perhaps the best news Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville Constituency Association of all, is that all of the invites members to attend the services are free. For the first time ever the public library is not charging for an annual membership. No matter what level of literacy a student or adult is at , the new system will be able to guide them step by step along the way.

Project Happy Feet. An initiative to provide socks for local people in need this winter marched its way onto the agenda of Mundare town council recently. Coun. Irene Talaga told members of council that members of the Kalyna Country Quilters are looking for cash donations to help pay for more than 2,100 pairs of socks that were purchased. Last Christmas season the town assisted with a project for local senior citizens initiated by Andruchow group solutions, and Talaga made the motion to donate $100 towards the project. Anyone wishing to make a cash donation can drop them off at The Chicken Coop.

Chance and circumstance draws families apart and back together Michelle Pinon Editor

“I want to tell you a story…” That’s how Andrew resident Pauline Cuthbert begins retelling how she came into contact with a long lost nephew she didn’t know she had. “I opened my email one day and to my surprise it was a letter from Tom Kruczek.” That day came out of the blue this past summer. Kruczek had been going through letters and pictures which belonged to his late Aunt Helen, and decided to email Pauline. “He didn’t know how I was related to Helen.” So Pauline explained that Tom’s grandfather Walter and her father Steve Kruczek were brothers. When the first World War broke out Steve and

Walter boarded a ship from Warsaw, Poland to Boston, Massachusetts. “They were separated by mistake. So Uncle Walter stayed in America and my Dad came to Canada.” Pauline’s father settled in Upsala, Ontario clearing 360 acres of land. Because the immigration official couldn’t pronounce Kruczek, he wrote down Kenuck as the last name. To add to the confusion the last name on his birth certificate was Kruczek, and the last name on his social insurance number was Kenuck. “So it’s quite a story.” Pauline’s young life was also full of several unexpected twists and turns, and on April 4, 1970 she married Dave Cuthbert in Port William, now known as Thunder Bay, and soon moved out west, settling briefly in Stony Plain,

and later the Andrew area. “I’d been writing to Helen since 1971.” It wasn’t until she received one of her letters back that she found out Helen had passed away because the word deceased had been hand written on the envelope. Pauline never expected to hear back from any of Helen’s relatives, but was pleasantly surprised when Tom sent an email to her this past August. Pauline got another surprise a couple of months later when Tom, who lives in Connecticut asked if he could come and visit her and her husband in Andrew. “He stayed from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3.” Tom also got to meet one of Dave and Pauline’s daughter’s in Edmonton during his visit. While they are still trying to piece together members of the family tree, they are starting to put down new roots of their own, roots that wouldn’t have taken hold if chance and circumstance hadn’t come together at just the right time. The piece of history that was once lost, is now found, and members of Kruczek family couldn’t be happier. *Editor’s Note: Tom wrote this poem while returning home on the airplane.

Heartland 101: Building mega projects with modules SUBMITTED ARTICLE You may have helped an ambitious eight year old assemble all 658 pieces of a new LEGO Ninjago set. Piece by tiny piece, step by step, it eventually all fits together, days or even weeks later. The process of building an industrial facility – like a refinery – is actually very similar. However, there are thousands more steps and millions more pieces. If these millions of pieces came individually like in a brand new box of LEGO, the efficiency and cost of construction would be a major challenge. Mega projects in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland most often use modular construction for

a large portion of the facility. Parts and pieces are sourced from all over the world. But instead of all the individual pieces arriving on site and assembled in order, many of those pieces are sent to offsite module fabrication yards or shops. The module yards build smaller, independent components of the mega facility at their shops simultaneously. This allows for far greater construction effi-

ciency. Many sizable sections of the facility are completed at the same time instead of working through a ground-up sequence. Some of the modules

their design sequence and connected together. Other individual parts making up the rest of the facility are assembled as required. The biggest construction project currently underway in the Heartland – the Sturgeon Refinery – is using modular construction for their project. Over 1,000 modules were built in nine different module yards in the region, employing over 3,000 people just for module construction. Modules make up over 60% of the total facility, which is scheduled to be operational at the end of 2017.

Lamont High School takes time to remember MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS

Members of the Mundare Air Cadets Squadron, Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps. Athabascan, and Fort Saskatchewan RCMP officer Cst. Derrick Koller were members of the honour guard during the Remembrance Day Ceremony at Lamont High School on Thursday, Nov. 10. Pictured from left to right are: Lt. A.J. Vogrinetz, Stephanie Adams-Weinrich Ben Marshall, Petty Officer Shaun Dreaper, Cst. Derrick Koller, Flight Sgt. Kyra Robinson, Kierstyn Buck, Christopher Phelps, and Training Officer Lt. Shelby Anderson. Michelle Pinon Editor

More than 400 students, staff, local officials and members of the community gathered in the gymnasium of Lamont High School (LHS) the morning of Nov. 10 to pay tribute to Canadian soldiers. MC’s for the event were LHS students Ainsley Lopushinsky, Nicholas Ridland, and Luke Farrell, and everyone was officially welcomed by LHS Principal Sharon McLean. “The year 2016 marks a significant milestone in our country’s military history, both past and present. This year marks the centenary of The Battle of Vimy Ridge during the First World War in which Canadian Forces showed great bravery and sacrifice, as they had always done and continued to do afterwards. The Battle took place on April 9, 1917 and is commonly highlighted as a turning point in Canadian history, where the four Canadian divisions fought together as a unified fighting force for the first time against the Germans. This Battle claimed nearly 3,600 Canadian lives with another 6,400 injured. It was a costly Battle, but served as a pinnacle during the War as it meant the end of a major German stronghold.” She went on to state: “The success at Vimy Ridge was evidence of how Canadians could work together against impossible odds to preserve our rights and freedoms, which continued to be evident during the Second World War, D-Day, the Battle of Normandy, the Italian campaign, and peacekeeping efforts in Cyprus and the Middle East.” McLean also encouraged everyone in the crowd to learn more about the contributions of the great men and women who served for peace and freedom, and to honour them by remembering their great bravery and service. “We must as a school and community, take time to reflect on our freedom. What does that mean? What has it cost? We must take time to remember our veterans, our soldiers, and reflect on the freedom in which we live our lives due to their continued sacrifice.” There were several Remembrance Day videos, and members of the Lamont Elementary School Grade 36 choir performed “There is Peace,” and the Grade 1 and 2 students performed, “See the Poppies.” Teacher Asha Ram spoke about why we observe two minutes of silence, and Luke Farrell recited the Act of Remembrance before the playing of the Last Post and Reveille by Lt. A.J. Vogrinetz, Commanding Officer of the 324 Mundare Air Cadet Squadron. Guest speaker Master Cpl. Dan Morris addressed the crowd. He spoke about the history of wearing the poppy and Canadian doctor Lt. Col. John McCrae who tended the wounded and dying in the First World War and his famous poem In Flanders Fields,

Lamont High gains national recognition Michelle Pinon Editor

For outstanding achievement in quality physical education look no further than Lamont High School and Athletics Director Cory Kokotailo. The school and the program earned national recognition, and personal congratulations from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently. “This award recognizes the great success of your school’s physical education programming. As a former teacher and someone who enjoys a number of sports, I know how important it is to get students moving and to give them the knowledge required to make healthy choices that will last a lifetime. The Quality Daily Physical Education Award, was presented by Physical and Health Education Canada for the 2015-’16 school year. “As a physical education professional the goal is to have the most kids possible active everyday in and out of school,” stated Kokotailo. To that end, he made some schedule changes at the beginning of the 2016-’17 school year so that all grades (Gr. 8-

12) would get daily physical education. “Through alternative programming such as using our weight room or doing yoga, wrestling or circuit training in our multi-purpose room we are keeping the Grade 7’s active as well. During non-winter months it is easy to share class time for the gym, but winter or wet months force us to become creative with class time. To complement physical education class time we also have Outdoor Education classes, recreational fitness classes and weight training classes that help keep students active. Outside of classroom assigned time we have increased school teams to six teams which has allowed 50 per cent more kids to play. We now boast 60 students playing volleyball over the 40 we had last year. This will continue for basketball as well. With the purchase of our new bus we will also be able to increase team sizes for badminton, track and cross country.” In addition, for students who don’t make or play school sports, now there are drop in times at lunch in the gymnasium.

Falls leading cause of injuries When is the best time SUBMITTED ARTICLE Seniors with low vision are more than twice as likely to experience a fall. Falls are the leading cause of serious injuries among seniors, with one in three Albertans over the age of 65 falling every year. Many of those falls are completely preventable, which is why Alberta optometrists and the Injury Prevention Centre are teaming up for Falls Prevention Month. Vision problems significantly increase a senior’s risk of falling, which is why it’s important for them to visit an optometrist every year for a comprehensive eye exam. Alberta Health covers the cost of annual exams for anyone aged 65 and older. “Visual acuity, colour and depth perception, sensitivity to glare and balance are all factors that contribute to seniors’ falls,” said Lamont optometrist, Dr. Scott Lopetinsky. “With proper treatment, these problems can be addressed by

an optometrist before they lead to a devastating fall.” Along with preventing falls, annual eye exams are crucial for preserving sight and protecting overall health. Optometrists can look inside the eyes to detect hidden conditions that may not have early signs and symptoms, including cataracts, glaucoma and diabetes. “When eye-related conditions and diseases are detected early, it significantly increases the chances of saving the patient’s sight,” said Dr. Lopetinsky. “The best thing to do is book an eye exam at the same time as your annual check-up with your doctor and dentist.” This message is being shared across the country as part of the 2016 “Finding Balance” campaign, which is organized and funded by the University of Alberta’s Injury Prevention Centre. The theme is “Stay Independent. Prevent Falls.” Along with checking their vision,

seniors are encouraged to stay active and review their medications. “Falls and injuries have the potential to reduce daily activities, such as getting in a car, going for walks or carrying groceries,” said Dr. Kathy Belton, Associate Director of the Injury Prevention Centre. “This campaign is about enabling seniors to continue enjoying life’s special moments; it’s about playing with grandchildren and keeping up with friends.” Dr. Belton points out that a fall has the potential to significantly affect a senior’s independence, even if it doesn’t result in an injury. “The fear of falling is enough to cause seniors to limit their daily activities, which often leads to a decline in health, putting them at even greater risk of falling,” said Dr. Belton. “It’s a vicious cycle.” Seniors and their families are encouraged to learn more and take action to prevent falls.

to pre-plan your funeral? Funeral Home and Crematorium The best time to begin making your prearrangements is NOW, while you’re thinking about it. While some people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may think it’s too early, many people find that prearranging their funeral is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren’t leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional distress. This checklist will help you make sure every detail is tended to: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)
