Top notch chariot and chuckwagon racers came to compete in the first event of the season in Bruderheim, and help raise money along with the Bruderheim Agricultural Society who co-sponsored the three day fundraiser for Alzheimers. There were many events throughout the weekend which entertained folks of all ages.

Bruderheim School teacher wins prestigious Edwin Parr Award Michelle Pinon Editor

Janice Vandelannoite always dreamed of being a teacher.

But she put her kids first. That was until her three children and husband put her first, and gave the former educational assistant the support and encouragement to return to school to earn her teaching degree.

What was more "shocking" to Vandelannoite, was being nominated for prestigious Edwin MICHELLE PINON PHOTO the Bruderheim School Grade 6 teacher Janice Parr Award, which recogVandelannoite was selected out of 14 nominees nizes outstanding first to win the Edwin Parr Award for excellence in year teachers in the teaching. province. One of 14 nomi-

nees, in zones two and three, Vandelannoite was even more shocked to hear her name called during an awards gala in Edmonton on May 25.

"It was like I was dreaming," says Vandelannoite, who woke up several times that night. For her, the award means that her work is appreciated. "I put my whole heart in my job.

I have high expectations for the kids, and they're meeting them."

Her Grade 6 students share their happiest and saddest moments with her as well as what they did over the weekend. She has developed a close bond and special relationship

with the students. "I love them like my own kids."

So it will be no surprise there will also be a few tears when she has to say goodbye to them at the end of June.

She also feels "blessed" to be working at Bruderheim School and with such great staff members. "They are a group of warm and inviting individuals who has the students' best interests at heart!"

Vandelannoite also has high praise for principal Sven Danzinger. "He is very supportive to all staff and community members.

We are lucky to have him as principal!" The praise is

returned in kind by Danzinger, who recently stated: "Mrs. Vandelannoite is a very worthy recipient of this award.

She consistently demonstrates caring and dedication to her students, school, and profession.

She is a tremendous asset not just to the school, but to EIPS as well. I know that she will have a highly rewarding and fulfilling career."

Fellow staff feel the same. Sharon Taylor says that "Janice exemplifies a dedicated teacher. She loves her job and gives it all of her effort and enthusiasm."

Lamont Fire to conduct control burn Michelle Pinon Editor

Members of the Lamont Fire Department will be conducting a controlled burn along the creek areas of Campbell and Hillside subdivision as well as the northeast end of the Edna residential development in the near future.

Lamont Fire Department chief John Helton says the control burn will be held sometime during the next couple of weeks.

Helton said the fire department has been requested to perform the control burn from the town because long grass is encroaching on some of the houses in the Edna subdvision and Heritage Court area.

Some of the grass in the creek areas is around two feet long, and Helton said that poses a danger, which has to be mitigated. Helton says it’s important that people walking along those areas do not throw away any cigarette butts.

Any residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the town office.

Head of Ukrainian Catholic Church to visit Star-Peno Parish Michelle Pinon Editor

This coming Friday, June 9 will be a very special day for parishioners of Star Peno Ukrainian Catholic Church.

It will be the first pastoral visit by His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav to Canada.

While not part of his official visit, Star Peno will be one of the stops on his trip to Alberta as it has the distinction of being the first Ukrainian Catholic Parish in Canada.

During a visit to the Ukraine last year, parish priest Mykola Mysokowsky got the chance to speak with his former professor and invited him to come and visit. Although he didn't really expect that visit to happen, happen it will.

Parishioner Alan Borys is excited about the upcoming visit, but says no one is more excited than Mysokowsky. He does expect many Ukrainian Catholics from the area to attend the celebration that will get underway with a Liturgy at 10 a.m. A reception and luncheon will take place at the parish hall following mass. Bishop David Motiuk, Father Basil

Hupalo, and Father Greg Farena are also expected to be in attendance and participate in the Liturgy.

"It is a great honour and privilege," adds Borys.

Long-time parishioners Lawrence and Bill Skubleny of Lamont are also very excited about the visit. The brothers have attended the church since they were young children, and find it hard to find the words to describe what the visit means to them; but judg-

rural parish with about 60 parishioners. Borys says they have about 20 active members who attend monthly services at the parish.

Ukrainian Catholic Parishes began in 1897.

At this time the district of Star was referred to as Edna or Beaver Creek. In this area a great influx of Ukrainian immigrants settled on pioneer home-

Susan Mann first got to know Vandelannoite when she came to Bruderheim School as a student teacher. "I love working with Janice. I have really enjoyed getting to know her. She is

genuine, and she is sincere, and she is an outstanding teacher!"

So by all accounts, Vandelannoite is a credit to her profession and will no doubt be planning out her lesson plans even after the students leave for summer break.

steads and began to carve a new life in a new country. Faith was an integral part of their lives, and celebrating together, and building churches to worship was vitally important. While there were several setbacks and misfortunate fires of the first churches in the district, parishoners persevered to rebuild.

The parish, located a few kilometres northeast of Star was built in 1927 with interior painting by master Peter Lypynsky in 1930. In 1931, His Excellency Bishop B. Ladyka, blessed the church on the feast of Dormition - Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, and dedicated it under such patronage. The parish continued to be served by the Basilian Fathers from Mundare.

In August of 1997, parishioners celebrated its 100th anniversary.

Volunteers enrich lives One of my favourite days of the year was the day of the Strawberry Tea. I was always excited about the prospect of eating homemade buns topped with egg salad, tuna or salmon, or ham and cheese. The piece de resistance, however, was the piece of angel food cake piled high with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries.

The special day in May was usually sunny, and the warmth and brightness of the sun streaming through the west facing windows of the Verdun School onto the tables that were outfitted in beautiful tablecloths, with flower centrepieces, and fine china was a sight to behold. The ladies were always hustling and bustling between the kitchen (ajoining teacherage), and the guests who came to enjoy the wonderful refreshments, their gracious hospitality, and top notch service.

While few in numbers, during my childhood years in the '70's and early '80's, the ladies of the Verdun Sunshine Club, did many wonderful things for people in the surrounding community. Their kindness, dedication, and hard work will live on in the cherished memories and hearts of local residents and the many charities and grateful recipients who benefitted from their generosity of spirit and commitment to the greater good.

I felt that spirit of generosity from the members of the Bruderheim Agricultural Society and Chipman Fire Department this past weekend when they hosted fundraisers.

Whether it's the Lions, Rotary, Ladies Hospital Auxiliary, Knights of Columbus, or Chipman Car Crafters, volunteer members make it all happen with the goal of helping others first and foremost in their minds. There are countless of other volunteer organizations in Lamont County who make their communities a better place to live.

Praise and admiration really don't suffice, so that's why I always put out the challenge to people to commit even a few hours a month to help others.

As a parent, I want my child to think of others and put them first, even if it is only for a short time to do an errand, help with a chore or keep someone company. Often times, it's those "small things" that make a "big difference" in people's lives.

Letter to the Editor Disappointed At DND’s Cuts to Operational Health Research Dear Editor, At the same time that DND has admitted that the numbers of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces have risen, how is it possible that the department is eliminating the jobs of medical professionals involved in suicide prevention and monitoring of post-traumatic stress disorders? They are actually reducing the number of epidemiologists and researchers who analyze mental health issues.

This government has previously asserted that

dealing with such health issues is a priority. How can the government announce on the one hand that it appreciates the sacrifices made by our veterans and then turn around and cut the services and research efforts needed to treat those same men and women, at a time when they need it most?

The Legion is extremely concerned with this move, especially with the increase of suicide incidents in the Canadian Forces. The full extent of the cases of mental illness, arising

from the heavy operational tempo in the Balkans and Afghanistan, has not likely been felt yet.

The government and Canadians have sent these men and women to deploy and serve in these missions abroad and therefore have a moral obligation to ensure they are properly cared for once they return. The announced cuts give the government a failing grade. Without operational research in this area, Canada will be forced to resort to reactive treatment while

abandoning the proactive education and prevention of mental illness to our troops.

It is unacceptable that these cuts been made on the backs of our most vulnerable and mentally ill soldiers, sailors, airmen and airwomen.

There is no better way to demonstrate their commitment to support the men and women who serve their country than by not making these cuts.

Patricia (Pat) Varga the Dominion President of The Royal Canadian Legion.

Sports Melnyk brothers to be inducted into Alberta Hall of Fame Former NAIT stars to be honoured along with teammates for perfect season Michelle Pinon Editor

In a matter of days, Scott and Murray Melnyk, along with their former teammates from the NAIT OOKS 1984-'85 season will be officially inducted into the Alberta Hockey Hall of Fame.

"It was by far the best team I've ever played on," says Scott, who resides in the Bruderheim area along with his wife Lisa and children Noah and Amara.

Scott says the only reason he made it onto the team was because of his older brother Murray.

"The only reason I was there was because of him. The long and short of it was there was some extra ice time, and he asked if his little brother could come out."

Scott, who was only 17 at the time, quickly realized what a great opportunity it would be to play for the team, and asked to try out. He brought the college guide home, and picked a trade with the help of his dad.

With the OOKS, they won four Alberta Championships, and three Canadian Championships.

But what made the team of 1984-'85 most memo-

rable was that they went the entire season without a loss, an accomplishment that hasn't been done since. The team rewrote the record book by scoring the most goals (222), most assists (343), most points (565), most wins (25), and fewest losses, all of which still stand today.

Scott says being inducted into the Alberta Hockey Hall of Fame is a great honour and priviledge, and he is looking forward to standing together with his brother, and former teammates, on June 9 in Red Deer.

While Scott says it's "hard to explain" what made the team unbeatable that season but it had to do with unparalled drive and determination. If the team was down by a goal or two in a game, Scott says they would "kick it up a notch" to come out on top. Goaltending was phenomenal. "We were solid from the back end up." The system the coach employed was also crucial in the team's success. Truly, the team was a force to be reckoned with, and a team some other teams refused to play because all four lines were totally in com-

mand, and completely dominating from start to finish.

"I've never played on a team before or since like it," says Scott, who played centre, and Murray, who played right wing. While both the Melynk brothers could have played professionally in the National Hockey League, Scott chose to play in Europe, and Murray decided to go to work full-time. A metallurgist by profession, Murray has been employed at Dow ever since.

Both Murray and Scott recognize the sacrifice, both time and money their parents Ed and Rae made to help them reach their goals. "Now that we have children of our own, we realize the commitment our parents made."

Both brothers coach hockey and ball. "It's my time to give back per say.

My brother does the same."

So it seems they have come full circle, and will be in the circle of champions, come Saturday when they take their rightful place in the Alberta Hockey Hall of Fame.

LA Dance Moves hosts successful fundraiser Members of LA Dance Moves hosted its annual garage sale last Saturday at the meeting room in the Lamont Recreation Centre.

The event was well supported by community members who purchased a wide variety of gently used second hand items, perennials, and delicious baked treats.

The entire sale brought in around $1,200. Half of the proceeds will go to charity, and the other half will be used to help offset the operating costs of the club.

The club, which began operating a few years ago, has around 30 dancers who perform tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, and musical theatre. LA Dance Moves held its final recital on April 29 at the St. Michael Recreation Centre. The facility was filled with parents, grandparents, and many more adoring fans. The club is under the direction of dance instructors Nathan Young and Melissa Lavery.

Local photographer tells unforgettable stories through the lens of his camera Michelle Pinon Editor

Stan Cholak's photographs transcend the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The longtime Andrew resident is an extraordinary storyteller, but instead of using words; he uses exquisite images that convey a mood or emotion or stellar moment in nature.

But it’s far more than just being in the right place at the right time.

Apart from perfect timing; equipment, techniques, angles, experimentation and patience come into play.

"I've had a lot of practice," says Cholak with a sly smile. While he won't divulge his trade secrets, the amateur photographer and avid astronomer does willingly share his works with others.

One of his most recent photographs captures the shadow of a jet liner during a solar eclipse.

Cholak d e e m s that event, t h a t occurred on May 20 between six and eight p.m., as a one in a million shot. He describes that feeling as a feeling of

euphoria, and recognizes the rarity of the moment.

"It's something few people see or are able to get."

While he has been able to nuture his hobby, Cholak admits that part of his abilities aren't ability, but rather a natural gift. "I'll be the first to admit, I'm always trying to get that fine edge."

Cholak's absolute favourite subject to photograph is lightening. "I'm a storm chaser." He'll travel anywhere anytime to shoot lightening.

"I definitely don't follow the 10 mile rule!" He love to keep pushing boundaries.

"Sometimes you have to keep working at it. I try to find a better angle to tell the story."

In his pursuit of excellence, Cholak has captured thousands of distinct and inspiring images. His works are striking, breathtaking, completely unique, and

totally authentic.

"While memories fade over time; photographs don't." Cholak takes every opportunity he has to capture wildlife, landscapes, and local heritage during his travels.

"I can't take credit for God's work, but I'm glad if I can position myself to get a good interpretation to tell the story."

With Cholak's great

Stan Cholak’s amazing photographs of the eclips, lightning strikes, and the Andrew Elevator. Most of Stans pictures are taken in the Andrew area, as he has been a long time resident of Andrew. imagination and intuition, as well as natural gift and outstanding skill, he is surely to inspire and ingrain beautiful memories for many more years to come.

Chipman Fair Days has lots to offer Michelle Pinon Editor

There will be plenty to see and do at Chipman Fair Days June 9 and 10.

Pancake breakfasts, parade, team penning, petting zoo, steak supper, one act plays and dance will round out the two day extravaganza which is the main fundraising event for the Chipman Agricultural Society.

President Jen Busenius is super excited about the event that is expected to see well over 1,000 participants and spectators.

This is the third year Busenius has been involved with the fundraiser, and says it just keeps getting bigger and better.

“Team penning is a very popular event.”

Busenius is hoping to have more than 200 riders out for the event.

“Last time I checked, we had 100 teams.”

She adds that there will be teams from all three prairie provinces vying for prize money in the team penning event which promises to be filled with many exciting moments.

The festivities will begin on June 9 with a pancake breakfast at the Golden Seniors Centre.

Team penning will get underway at 9 a.m. at the fair grounds, followed by the parade on main street at 10 a.m.

There will be a petting zoo for the kids, glitter

tattoos, and money to be found in the sand pile.

Another highlight of the event will be the steak supper. “The steaks

Andrew School’s Run For The Bus fundraiser is almost upon us, and organizer Cory Kokotailo can hardly wait to lace up his runners.

The school’s athletic director is hoping many more students, staff, and community members will be joining him in the first ever fun run which is slated to kick-off at 10 a.m. sharp on Saturday, June 9th.

Participants can choose to walk or run four kilometers, or go the distance along a 10 kilometer route.

Kokotailo says the only catch is that participants raise $50 to enter the event. The purpose behind the fundraiser is to be able to keep kids active in school sports.

“The athletic program within Andrew School is a very important part of the lives of students. By being a part of the Run for the Bus and aiding in fundraising participants are helping to keep kids active in sports by ensuring team fees are low, helping subsidize travel costs, tournament costs, and many other expenses that are incurred by an athletic program that is always getting more advanced,” states Kokotailo.

He also points out that the school’s athletic program is “ever expanding” with the latest addition of a junior high girls basketball team. The school now has teams in basketball, volleyball, curling, badminton, track and field. “We can boast almost an 80 per cent participation rate from Grades 6-12 students.”

Kokotailo says the fun run is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, feel a sense of accomplishment, as well as help the kids reach their own athletic goals at the same time.

“There will be prizes for the highest fundraisers as well as other participant prizes,” adds Kokotailo, who also wants to recognize the Servus Credit Union in Andrew which supplied the t-shirts to runners.

Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. For further information contact the school.
