Don and Lil Dziaba pray in the church cemetery following the blessing of the Centennial monument and grave of Wasyl and Anna Eleniak. Around 225 people attended the event which also consisted of the Divine Liturgy, and banquet at the Chipman National Hall.

A thick covering of gray clouds coated the sky, and the winds were whipping relentlessly the morning of Sunday, August 28th; but the unseasonably chilly weather could not prevent more than 200 people from attending the Centennial celebration of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Chipman.

The celebration officially got underway with the presentation of the kolach and salt, which represents the rebirth and life’s preservation, by Parish Council President Eugene Eleniak to His Excellency Bishop David Motiuk outside of the front

entrance of the church after 10 a.m. Elyse Borys presented a bouquet of red roses and Ethan Svitich brought greetings on behalf of the congregation.

They proceeded inside the church for the start of the Divine Liturgy. “This is really a special day for me,” stated His Excellency Bishop David Motiuk. He said this centennial was one of many great celebrations that will be held throughout Canada to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian immigration.

The settlers could only take a few material possessions with them, and what proved to be the greatest and most cherished gift was their faith.

“Faith was so important to them, and they cher-

ished it,” stated Bishop Motiuk. “I’ve always been amazed by their hardiness. Often times they would build a place of worship even before their own home…This beautiful gift of faith was planted in Chipman.”

Irvin Krezanoski also paid tribute to his ancestors, in particular Wasyl Eleniak, the son of farmer peasants, who along with friend Ivan Pylypow left their homeland in search of the promised land in 1891. It was a journey, stated Krezanoski, that would “reshape the lives of many generations to come.”

After a few years of work on a Mennonite farm in Gretna, Manitoba, Wasyl took a homestead in the

Chipman district. “Other Ukrainian immigrants followed, primarily from the regions of Kalush, Yaroslav, Sniatyn and Brody, and soon a closeknit community of hard working, strong willed immigrants was established,” said Krezanoski.

It wasn’t long before the desire for a church to fulfill their spiritual needs became a priority, added Krezanoski. “In response, a church was constructed in 1900, approximately two miles east of Chipman.

Unfortunately, a conflict arose among the parishioners, and as a result, the parish was split into Catholic and Orthodox groups.

28th annual Lamont Terry Fox Run set to go Michelle Pinon Editor

For the 28th consecutive year, the Knights of Columbus Council 6382, will be hosting the annual Terry Fox Run for cancer research in Lamont on Sunday, September 18.

Co-ordinator Mike Klita says that since the local run’s inception back in 1988, a total $233,575 has been raised

by Lamont and area residents. Klita says the support given by local residents and businesses has been wonderful, and he is once again counting on their support for the 2017 Terry Fox Run. Ways to support the event are through cash and cheque donations, participation in the run, and/or the purchase of an official tshirt.

Registration for the 36th annual Terry Fox Run will be held in the meeting room of the

Lamont Recreation Centre, with the run itself starting at 1 p.m. You can walk, run, or bike the route, and Klita encourages one and all to participate.

It was former K of C Grand Knight Sam Kornicki who initiated

other members of the organization have coordinated the run over the years, and Klita is hoping another community group will be able to take over the event next year. With many of the organization’s members being farmers, Klita says, it is very hard to get enough volunteers to help out with the event, and he is praying someone else will step up to

the plate and continue the tradition and support the cause.

Klita is also grateful for Malica Family Farms which donates the food and supplies for the lunch that is provided after the run free of charge to participants.

Pledge sheets can be found online through the Terry Fox Foundation for Cancer Research as well as the Lamont Leader.

Energy East decision must be guided by facts, not protests, says Lakeland MP Stubbs TWO HILLS, AB Shannon Stubbs, Member of Parliament for Lakeland and Official Opposition Deputy Critic for Natural Resources urged the federal Liberal government on Aug. 31 to ensure that regulatory decisions are made by experts and based on evidence and facts.

On Monday, August 29 National Energy Board hearings on the proposed Energy East pipeline were scheduled to begin in Montreal as part of their extended 21month review process.

Unfortunately, unruly protests canceled the first two days of hearings, and prompted the vocally opposed Mayor

of Montreal to abruptly walk out of Monday’s hearing.

“In the best interest of all Canadians, timely regulatory decisions must be made by experts, and should be evidence and fact-based.

Interested and impacted stakeholders must be consulted, but no process is likely to ever satisfy all opponents,” said M.P. Stubbs.

“Conclusions must prioritize Canada’s national interest, and balance economic and environmental considerations. The process should not be hijacked by hypocritical politicians and one-issue activists grandstanding for their own partisan purposes or extremist

Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs radical agendas.”

The Energy East pipeline would transport approximately 1.1 billion barrels of Alberta and Saskatchewan oil to Eastern Canadian refineries every day, and would open new mar-

kets for Canadian energy while providing a Canadian supply of oil to Eastern Canadian refineries. Eastern Canada imports an astounding 86% of oil from foreign jurisdictions, most which do not have environmental standards, violate human rights, and where energy development only benefits corrupt, despotic regimes.

“Opponents of critical projects like Energy East profess to care deeply about environmental standards, but their position favours foreign oil over the worldrenowned environmental standards we have right here in Canada.” said M.P. Stubbs. “Due to a lack of infrastruc-

ture, Canadians are forced to rely on foreign oil. Given the choice, I think Canadians would rather use our own world-respected and environmentally responsible oil while creating Canadian jobs.”

The NEB will continue with their extended review process and will present a report of their findings to the Liberal government by March 2018. The Cabinet will have six months to make a final decision on the pipeline’s approval, resulting in a 27-month long process.

“Ultimately this Liberal-imposed extended review process has undermined confidence in the regulatory system

Jason Kowal wins Mundare byelection Michelle Pinon Editor

Jason Kowal emerged as the winning candidate of Town the in Mundare’s recent byelection.

Kowal received 101 votes, beating out his opponent John Bruyere by 53 votes. According to Returning Officer Colin

while delaying a project that is so important for Canada’s economy, competitiveness, long term prosperity, and energy security and self-sufficiency,” said M.P. Stubbs. “The Trudeau government has created uncertainty and destroyed clarity, which deters investment while causing additional costs and delays for proponents. The worst part is that it has perpetuated and inflamed regional divisions and mistrust across the country. I hope the final cabinet decision on Energy East will not be derailed by radical protests, but rather guided by facts, and focused on Canada’s best interests.”

Hilliard area farmer George Kolmas discovered this foamy, stringy, sticky substance falling from the sky while working in his fields on Aug. 20 and 27. He brought a sample of it into the Lamont Leader office. There have been other discoveries of this substance, possibly Chem Trails, in other countries, and its cause is attributed to untreated sewage, in which the phosphate converts into a string-like substance. Kolmas plans to get his samples scientifically analyzed in the coming weeks.

eligible voters was 710, and the actual number of voters was 149, for a turnout of 21 per cent.

Kowal will officially be sworn into office at the Sept. 6 town council meeting.

Kowal has resided in the Town of Mundare for the nine years with his wife Shannon. Together, they have three children.

Opinion From Where I Sit: Hard-Won Insight

By Hazel Anaka It’s no secret that as a Marriage Commissioner and a Festival Coordinator my sum-

mers are busy. Throw in a couple birthdays and family events and my time is gone. There’s barely time to do what must be done, never mind any extras.

So, this year I just bought three ten-inch floral baskets that I popped into my pedestal planters. Easy, peasey, right? Minimal maintenance, especially with the daily rain showers we’ve had, how hard could it be? Yet, several weeks ago, they bit the dust. I still haven’t removed the carcasses, though. This spring I brought the six patio chairs out of storage as a

visual reminder to stop and relax. September first and the cushions never made it out. Not a soul sat on them.

Over the summer as I awaited some potentially serious medical results, I had time to think about how I’m living and how I’m choosing to spend my time. I decided that regardless of the final verdict, I was so, so over the constant battle with the yard. I was sick of the battle of the weeds, the deadheading, the invasion of volunteer plants, the pruning.

I decided I could get my ‘flower fix’ by visiting public gardens or

greenhouses or buying bouquets for the house. I could use that found time to do things that would bring me pleasure not add to my guilt burden. Or I could do absolutely nothing.

However, there are several days or weeks of hard work between that freedom and me. So, with the start of harvest delayed by wet weather, I will begin the work of deconstructing our yard.

That will include killing the least desirable plants with Roundup, (perhaps) transplanting a few specimens I want to keep, and offering others to good homes.

Eventually, every flowerbed will just have a specimen tree or shrub, huge landscape rock, and pea gravel mulch.

Perennials will be largely be gone. A spot of colour may be possible next year with well-placed pots of annuals. Maybe.

Naturally, I will need Roy’s help at some point.

Pulling out shrubs, removing timbers, and lifting concrete sidewalk blocks require tools like tractors, chains, buckets, brute strength, and a solid knowledge of physics. It won’t happen until harvest is complete.

It won’t be quick or easy or pretty. But, then

again, this yard has evolved over the thirtyfive years we’ve lived here. We’re not the same people we were in 1985.

Nor are our interests or energy levels the same.

It’s safe to say we’re sick of being slave to the yard work, the grass cutting, the spraying of weeds.

Especially demoralizing is the fact that the work is never done. Nor has it been fun or relaxing or satisfying for a very long time. I’d much rather travel or read or spend time with two grandsons that fight a losing battle. Isn’t that some hard-won insight, from where I sit.

Quote of the Day ”I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

United States Republican nominee Donald Trump responded to the Kaepernick’s statement by saying: “I have follwed it, and I think it’s personally not a good thing. I think it’s a terrible thing. And you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try, it won’t happen.”

Trump has made numerous racially and ethnically charged statements of his own during the presidential campaign, which continues to divide races.

Considering that more than 72.4 per cent of its population are white, his stategy may very well turn the tables in his favour, depending on the percentage of Americans who are tolerant of other races.

According to the 2010 US census, Black or African American citzens make up 12 per cent of the population, Asian, 4.8 per cent, American Indians and Alaska Natives, 0.9 per cent, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, 0.2 per cent, two or more races, 2.9 percent, and some other race, 6.2 per cent.

Hispanic and Latino Americans (of any race): 16.3 per cent.

Elk Island Public Schools preparing for growth

EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook It’s a start of a new school year and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome back close to 16,900 students. It’s also time for the Elk Island

Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees to roll up their sleeves for what promises to be another busy year.

One of the things we’re focusing on is the EIPS 2015–2018 Three-Year Education Plan, which highlights the Division’s priorities and goals.

Early reports from Alberta Education indicate we’ve already made positive gains as a result of the new three-year plan. Now in year two, trustees will continue to find ways to best allocate resources and build on the Division’s priorities.

EIPS is also piloting its new elementary report

card, which will be rolled out in all our elementary schools this year. Over the coming months, the Board will seek input from both parents and staff to further refine the report card template. The hope: to approve a final report card template at the end of the school year.

As we prepare to grow to 44 schools, the Board continues to monitor the progress of each of its capital projects currently underway. One of those projects is a new K-6 school in Sherwood Park. Throughout the 2016–2017 school year the Board will hold mul-

tiple consultations with the community to seek their input to help inform future decisions.

Additionally, given the age of our facilities and the region’s high growth rate, the Board will continue to consider planning for future needs.

At the provincial level, the Board is also doing a significant amount of work with the newly established Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), an organization made up of government representatives and school board trustees to negotiate new contracts with teachers.

In addition, we will be

working with Education Minister David Eggen to expand the “Teacher Quality Standards” and “School Leader Quality Standards” to include support for First Nation, Métis and Inuit students.

Furthermore, in the coming months we’ll be participating in Alberta Education’s consulta-

tions regarding updates to the provincial curriculum and the Education Act. Despite the volume of big items, all of our trustees are looking forward to what the year holds and the opportunities that lie ahead for EIPS students.

Prostate Cancer month declared

By Michelle Pinon Editor

Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus has officially proclaimed September as Prostate Cancer Awarenesss Month in Mundare.

Gargus said September is also a good time to remember all the great events hat happened in Mundare this past summer. “The Ride For Dad in June is directly related. The superb effort by this organization certainly makes us aware that this is a serious issue; especially when 800 plus motorcycle riders collect donations and ride in stormy weather to stop here in Mundare.”

He went on to say, “Community businesses like SMP are deeply committed to this project because many have ignored symptoms and went for help too late.

Friends that are alive today were more aware and received life-saving

treatment.”

According to Prostate Cancer Canada, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One in eight Canadian men will be diagnosed in

their lifetime. In 2015, an estimated 24,000 Canadian men were diagnosed, and this number is expected to double by 2030 due to an aging population.

PASSING A SCHOOL BUS (this information and more can be found at the Alberta Transportation site www.transportation.alberta.ca) • If you pass a school bus that has its alternating amber lights flashing, pass with caution.

• When the school bus stops to let students on or off, its alternating red lights will begin flashing. You will also see a stop sign extended from the left side of the school bus. You must come to a full stop about 20 metres (about four to five car lengths) away from the school bus.

This distance allows drivers of other vehicles behind you to see the flashing lights and students crossing the highway.

• You must remain stopped until the alternating flashing red lights are turned off and the stop sign on the driver’s side is no longer extended.

On a highway divided by a median, do the following: • When you approach a school bus from the rear and its alternating amber lights are flashing, follow the same procedures as you would for a highway that is not divided by a median.

• When you approach a school bus from the front and the school bus has its alternating amber or red lights flashing, you may proceed with caution. Watch for pedestrians. Remember, this is only on a divided highway.

On a two lane undivided highway, both lanes must stop for a school bus.

On a four lane undivided highway, all four lanes must stop for a school bus.

On a highway divided by a median, vehicles to the rear of the school bus must stop.

MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Teresa Eleniak, (pictured on the bottom right), great granddaughter of Wasyl Eleniak, poses with the commemorative pictural certificate that was presented on behalf of the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood of Canada.

Continued from Page 1 The Orthodox took over the church property, and compensated the Catholics with a payment of $1,200.

This money was entrusted to Michael Romaniuk until such time as a new church could be built.”

A total of 29 pioneer families were credited with organizing and the building of the church in 1916.

Bishop B u d k a blessed the newly constructed church.

Both the church and the bell tower were built by well-known craftsman

Jarema Yanishewski at a cost of $6,000.

In 1921, two and a half acres of land were purchased for a cemetery and in 1922, Phillip Pawliuk built and installed the iconostas. In 1928, famous church artist Peter Lipinski painted and decorated the interior of the church with imitation cut stones painted directly on the walls, along with angels on the ceiling of the main dome.

Oil paintings of religious figures were painted on canvas and then glued directly to the walls. The exterior was clad in wood and painted white. Later on, electricity, central heating and benches were added.

Krezanoski went on to say, “Over the years, a number of facelifts and renovations occurred. In 1966, gas furnaces were installed. In 1967, the iconostas was touched up by Eugene Letawsky, and in 1971, the siding was covered with stucco. More recently, the church

Town of Lamont applies for $560,000 flood assistance Michelle Pinon Editor

To date, the Town of Lamont has spent $11,400 to pay for expenses associated with the July 9 and 10 flood, which includes such things as: overtime, services of vacuum trucks, repairs to its walking bridges and lift station, as well as engineering estimates.

Council authorized the transfer of $50,000 from

reserves to operating to cover those unforeseen expenses during the emergency. The town has also applied for $560,000 in funding from the Alberta Emergency Management Association. “It might take six months before we hear anything,” said Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer. If the town does not receive approval, Maschmeyer said they will have to put funds in next

year’s budget to cover any other additional expenses.

After the flood residents living in and around Lamont who had been directly affected by the flood and did not have coverage under their homeowners insurance were encouraged to register for financial assistance. Maschmeyer confirmed that 38 homeowners had registered.

executive and a few members oversaw a desperately needed exterior upgrade, for which we are most grateful.”

He also noted that the parish consists of much more than a building, and recognized community members, its leadership, the clergy for contributing and creating the experiences, memories and the spirit of the church. He also recalled several personal memories during his address during the banquet which followed the service.

Krezanoski also recognized the bishops that visited the parish, including: His Excellency Bishop Nikita Budka, Bishop Wasyl Vlodomyr Vladyka as well as Neil Savaryn, Myron Daciuk, Demetrious Greschuk and Lawrence Huculak. Other notable guests included: Premier William Aberhart, Governor General J.J. Bowen, former Premier Ed Stelmach. “And today, we are honoured with the presence of His

Excellency Bishop David Motiuk.

Thank you, Your Excellency, for your blessing and for sharing this occasion with us.”

He also recognized the priests, many that were members of the Basilian priests from Mundare. In addition, there were five religious vocations from the parish including: Sr. Anatole Andrijiw, Sr. Minnidore Andrijiw, Sr. Boniface Sloboda and Sr. Aloysia Safranovich, who is now 103-years-old.

He concluded by saying, “Yes, we do have much to be proud of, to be thankful for, and to celebrate. So today we gather, to celebrate our faith, and our church, St. Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, built by our ancestors 100 years ago. It was faith that gave birth, and life to the church. It was that church that has given life back to us, its children, in abundance. We are truly blessed.”
