Lamont Mayor BillSkinner is more thanhappy to give an officialwalk through of thetown’s new civic centrewhich officially openedto the public on March15th.

His disposition is assunny as the natural lightthat filters through thewindows of the facility.Skinner also wants thetown to be viewed asopen for business, friend-ly and welcoming, aswell as a highly profes-sional organization; andhe feels both the newadministrative office aswell as staff and mem-bers on council are morethan willing and capableto doing and being allthose things.

“We want people to goaway with the impression that we’re professionaland helpful,” adds Skinner, who also feels the clean-er, brighter, and more efficient work environmentwill also reflect positively on staff and members ofthe public who will come through their doors.

While staff members are still getting settled in, Skinner says the atmosphere is so much better andthere is now enough physical space to accommodatestaff, office equipment, and storage. Having andunfinished basement is an added bonus as it affordsgreater flexibility, and more customized options ifthey choose to develop the space sometime downthe road.

The new facility is handicapped accessible withwider doorways to accommodate wheelchairs andwalkers. In the entry way is a large seating area aswell as washrooms and front counter area that canbe closed off when not in use.

There is a separate room which houses the coun-cil chambers, and can be used for other public meet-

ings. There is a separate seating alcove for guests aswell as more washrooms for staff.

While the chief administrative officer’s (CAO)office is currently vacant, it will be filled in thefuture, says Skinner. For the past couple of monthscouncil has been seeking advice and conductingresearch. “We’re not just looking for certain qualifi-cations, but the type of person we want.” Skinnersaid the town’s CAO must have people and conflictmanagement skills, but be able to buy into thevision and goals of of council and achieve them.

“We’ve done a lot of work on strategic planning,and we want that person to fully support that.”He adds that those types of measures will be imple-mented into the next CAO’s contract and be reflect-ed during performance reviews so there are no sur-prises. Council is also learning towards implement-ing a one year contract for CAO’s that will affordcouncil greater flexibility in the decision makingprocess.

Skinner also wants whoever will be sitting in theCAO’s chair to be able to promote the town, andencourage investors to develop in the community.“We want them to be able to smooth out the redtape.”

Part of raising the town’s profile and open forbusiness attitude, council will be hosting a meet andgreet for residents in late April, and an official grandopening with tours of the town’s new water reser-voir and public works building later in the year.

Skinner says councillors will be on hand for themeet and greet, slated for April 16th to offer infor-mation as well as listen to concerns and answer anyquestions residents may have. The first step tobuilding positive relations is communication, andSkinner says council wants to provide the forum fordiscussion and receive feedback.

“We want to convey the overall impression thatwe’re open for business.” And with his business likeattitude, Skinner will be one of the cogs in the wheelto get things rolling along in Lamont.

Around 300 people attended the Haying in the ‘30’s fundraiser at the St. Michael Recreation Centre March24th. Just over $12,000 was raised for the non-profit organization that lends financial support to peopleundergoing cancer treatments throughout the province.

Local residents raise over $12,000for Haying in the ‘30’s organization

BY TRACY HARDINGStaff Writer

St. Michael Agricultural Society hosted their sixthannual Haying in the ‘30’s fundraiser Saturday night,at the St. Michael Recreation Centre.

This event was pulled together through the effortsof many great volunteers who are residents of the St.Michael area.

There were homemade perogies, fried chicken,and sausage for supper. A group of local womengathered a few days prior to spend many hours mak-ing the delicious perogies.

The Haying in the ‘30’s Foundation was founded25 years ago by Edgar Corbier, and was designed toassist residents in rural areas to help cover the cost oftravel when they are going for cancer treatments.Edgarís daughter, Fern Gean, were also in attendanceat the event. Gean thanked everyone in attendancefor their support and help throughout the communi-ty.

The evening started with a silent auction, then abanquet, then a live auction, and finally a dance. Allin all the event raised $12,055.60 to contribute to thecause.

Haying in the ‘30’s has helped some of our localresidents who have, or are battling cancer them-selves. One local resident who has lived in St,Michael his whole life is Joe Hrycyk, as well as TwoHills resident Ed Koziak. The fund gives them $1,000for travel to and from the treatments.

There was also a quilt donated by Rez Bowes,who is also battling the awful disease. This is the sec-ond quilt that she has made to be auctioned off at theevent.

Mae Adamyk, who is one of the main organizersof the event, thanked all that attended, and for show-ing such compassion and generosity for such adreadful disease.

The event was a huge success, with a sold outcrowd. Without the dedication and giving nature ofall the volunteers, the event would not happen, aswell as with the generosity of all that attended, addedAdamyk.

Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant of(Pi).

March 14th is the official day as 3.14 are its firstthree digits.

The Andrew School day began with the Pi song,a scavenger hunt, an Einstein look-a-like contest,and memorizing the infinite digits of Pi -3.1415926535Ö.

In the afternoon the events moved to the gymna-

sium where students participated inpin the radius on the circle (blindfolded), ring-fling,Pi-prints, Pi-spiral, and more.

The day, filled with so many activities, endedwith the eating of pie - blueberry, apple, or cherry -with ice cream, ofcourse! Thank you to Ms. Ram & Mrs. Tirschmannfor organizing and running this educational & enter-taining event.

Children at the LamontCommunity Playschoolwere more than happyto have a visit fromRCMP Cst. MartinMiville recently.Listening intently to hisadvice about not talkingto strangers, crossing theroad properly, and bicy-cle safety. They also gota first hand look at someof the tools on Cst.Miville’s belt including ataser, baton, handcuffs,protective vest, ammuni-tion and gun. But thebest two tools you canhave at your disposal,he pointed out, are yourbrain and your mouthwhich give you the abili-ty to think and talk. “Ifyou talk, you can solveall the problems of theworld.”Contary to popularbelief, Cst. Miville saidmost of the job entailseducation, and convey-ing information to peo-ple. And since commu-

nications are one of hisareas of responsibility,Cst. Miville was morethan up to the task athand.While part of a policeofficer’s job is to “arrestbad guys,” Cst. Mivilleadded that a larger partof the job is to visitschools and educate stu-dents about safety pre-vention.He spoke about thenecessity of wearing asafety helmut while rid-ing their bikes. All of thethree and four-year-oldsraised their hands whenasked if they had safetyhelmuts. Cst. Mivillealso told the childrenthat if they didn’t wear ahelmut they could beserved with a $57 ticketfor disobeying the law.“That’s a lot of pennies.Imagine that! Cominghome and giving yourparents a ticket...Youdon’t want to do that.It’s not cool.” His lastword of advice to thechildren on the subject,was to always wear a

helmut, and never leavetheir bicycles on theroad.Cst. Miville told theyoungsters about thebelt around his waistthat weighs 30 pounds,about the equivalent tothe weight of most ofthe three and four yearolds in the audience. Heshowed the children hisbaton, and taser whichdelivers 50,000 volts ofelectricity in single jolt,and gun which has 15bullets, and extraammunition which has30 bullets.The kids then got theircoats and boots to seeand sit in the policecruiser which is outfit-ted with extensive elec-tronic equipment. Eachchild got to sit in theback seat and listen tothe sirens before Cst.Miville’s visit ended.They also went homewith some stickers, pen-cils, and more safetyinformation. So all in allit was a productive dayat the Lamont

On your markget set...go

Well, off to the races for the candidates in theupcoming provincial election.

First off the mark, at least publicly in the FortSaskatchewan-Vegreville constituency was PC candi-date Jacquie Fenske, whose campaign manager TinaWarawa was first off the mark, and making her markMonday afternoon in Lamont as she hammered inone of the first of her campaign signs outside of thetown office.

So I guess that means for intents and purposesthat the town supports Fenske who is running underthe PC flag. Or does it? Maybe there will be otherelection signs popping up there over the next coupleof days or so?

The only other candidate that has made her voiceand presence known in the local area is Wildrose can-didate Shannon Stubbs, who has been door knockingand participating in a number of meet and greet typeevents over the past couple of months throughout theconstituency.

As to whether the NDP or Liberals or AlbertaParty will have candidates remains to be seen andheard.

I guess a call into Elections Alberta might be inorder in the very near future. But for now perhaps wewill ponder over some of the current issues that arelikely to make it to the election platform, and anydebates.

Property rights, transmission lines, power rates,health care, ambulance services, and the proposednew Education Act will surely be topics of conversa-tions up until election day.

What are the issues and concerns nnear and dearto your hearts? Who do you feel will listento them aswell as implement some of the ideas and plans youmay have in regards to them?

There is a strong and rich tradition for Tory pridein the province. So will the reigning party be theparty the people of Alberta want to represent themfor the next three years, or perhaps another partywith a different or fresh perspective?

There are several things people keep in mindbefore heading to the polls, including: party loyalty,party leadership, ideology, issues, and currentevents.

Which ever way you slice or dice it, all that willmatter is which party will the greatest number ofseats after election day, so make sure you count yourself inthe mix.

Following a review ofhealth care in Alberta,the Health QualityCouncil released a reportin February that has pre-cipitated much dialogueabout the current state ofthe provincial health-care system and whereit’s headed. Two of thosetown hall health-carediscussions happened inCalgary and Edmonton,on March 6 and 12,respectively. However,there have been far feweropportunities for ruralcommunities to beengaged in not onlythese larger conversa-tions, but also in the onesthat pertain directly tonon-metro areas.

The Alberta RuralPhysician Action Plan(RPAP) celebrates its20th anniversary this

year. After beginningoperations in 1992, theRPAP has worked tire-lessly with rural commu-nities and others toattract and retain physi-cians, while assuring thatthe physicians in theseoutlying areas, whetherearly in their career or asa long-standing memberof the medical communi-ty, have the skills theyneed to care for theirpatients. We work close-ly with resident physi-cians to supply ruraltraining and supportmedical students to helpencourage a career inrural Alberta by takingthem on skills days andby providing shadowingopportunities to ruralphysicians.

But these supports donot happen in isolation.

Without the commitmentof the physicians in non-metro areas, and the sup-port of the communitiesthey serve, the RPAPcould not help guide thenew generation of physi-cians through the some-times challenging navi-gational waters ofbecoming a rural physi-cian.

So, to the communi-ties throughout theprovince who recognizethe importance of a ruralphysician, we thank you.And, to the rural doctorswho dedicate their timeto helping medical stu-dents, resident physi-cians and internationalphysician recruits, weapplaud your ongoingefforts.

One way to recognizethe physician in your

community, or the com-munity at large for out-standing efforts inattracting or retaining alocal rural physician, isthrough the RPAPawards program. Formore information onthese awards or RPAP, goto www.rpap.ab.ca.

On March 30,National Doctors’ Day,we salute physicianseverywhere, and ask thatall people in Alberta,where in an urban orrural area, take the timeto recognize all that doc-tors dedicate to theirpatients, year round. Sincerely,David Kay, CHE, FACHEexecutive director, RPAPEdmonton, AB

Athlete of the weekKourtney Babichuk,

who resides inBruderheim, has beenclogging for seven years,and has just finishedcompeting in her fourthKalyna Festival.

“I started taking clog-ging because I wanted totry dancing but didn’tenjoy the Ukrainian styleof dancing. We wanted atype of dancing that Iwould enjoy and be rea-sonably priced. Cloggingwas one of these options.I really enjoy Cloggingand would recommendit to many,” statesKourtney

Kourtney is instructedby Linda Mills at theLamont RecreationCentre. At the KalynaMusic Festival, Kourtneywon High Gold for herperformance to 'PartyRock Anthem' in the Solo14 Year and UnderClogging category.

“Kourtney is a verycommitted and consis-tent dancer. She is verygracious and is such ateam player,” statesMills. "You would neverknow she is as good as

she is because she is sohumble about it.”

"I am amazed at theskill Kourtney has dis-played, her grace andpoise are fantastic," saysBruderheim Mayor KarlHauch. "The wonderfulcreativity blending rockmusic to this style ofdancing was great. I amso encouraged to seefolks, especially youngpeople from our town,with such talent. Itspeaks well for thefuture of Bruderheim."

“I love everythingabout clogging rightfrom the awesome shoesto the music. I enjoyclogging because of howit works: you can havefun and laugh withfriends even if you messup. You don’t have to dothings exactly as theteacher said for you todo, as long as you’rehaving fun, enjoying thedancing and followingthe cues... then you’llhave a fun time clog-ging,” states Kourtney.

Kourtney hopes to domore ‘cueing’ andinstructing in the future,

and has already begunby teaching a dance tokids in elementaryschool in gym class, aswell as in junior high.She has also ‘cued’ a fewclasses with her clogginggroup.

“I have a very smallquiet voice but I reallyenjoy teaching becauseof the enthusiasm thatpeople have with learn-ing something new.”

While her clogginghas brought her slightfame, between being inthe local newspaper, andgetting to perform for EdStelmach, she is uncer-tain where her dancingwill lead after gradua-tion, however she knowsit will be a part of her lifesomehow.

When she is older shewould like to become aForensic Anthropologistor work in a forensic lab.She learned about thesejobs from her favouriteTV show ‘Bones’.

“I would also like tothank Linda for makingclass so much fun andfor being the best clog-ging teacher ever!”

NOTICE OF APPLICATION

NEW PIPELINE PROJECT

In accordance with the EnvironmentalProtection and Enhancement Act, CANEXUS

Chemicals Canada Limited Partnership

(CANEXUS) has applied to Alberta

Environment and Water for an approval to

construct the Bruderheim Pipeline Laterals

Project. CANEXUS is proposing to con-

struct approximately 9.7 km of pipeline. Three

pipelines will be installed from the CANEXUS

Bruderheim Terminal located in SW 34-55-20

W4M to existing infrastructure in the area with-

in NE 6-56-20 W4M. The pipelines will trans-

port: condensate (323.9 mm O.D. pipeline),

diluted bitumen (609.6 mm O.D. pipeline) and

water (273.1 mm O.D. pipeline). The conden-

sate and the diluted bitumen pipelines will be

installed in a common trench. Condensate

stored in an above ground steel storage tank

at the Bruderheim terminal will be trans-

ported via the new proposed pipeline to an

interconnection (NE 6-56-20 W4M) with an

existing diluent pipeline. Diluted bitumen will

be transported from the interconnection with

an existing heavy oil pipeline system via the

new proposed pipeline and stored at

Bruderheim Terminal in above ground insulat-

ed and heated steel storage tanks. A water

pipeline is also part of the proposed pipeline

system and will be an idle line segment intend-

ed to be connected to a future raw water sup-

ply line. A 30 m permanent right-of-way

(ROW) with 5 m of temporary workspace is

required for the proposed project. The

minimum depth of cover for the condensate

and the diluted bitumen pipelines are 1.2 m,

while the water pipeline will be installed to a

depth of 1.8 m. Pending regulatory approval,

construction is scheduled to commence in the

Third and Fourth Quarter of 2012.

Women of all agesthroughout LamontCounty converged in St.Michael last Saturday toattend the 31st annualSpring Tune Up confer-ence at the recreation cen-tre.

It was a day of fun,fashion, fellowship, andlearning for nearly 150women. The conferencewas presented by LamontCounty's CommunityAdult Learning Council(CALC) and Family andCommunity Support

Services (FCSS) in the Lamont County region.After the introductions of CALC board members

by chair Debby Gargus, and a few words from CALCdirector Debbie Holland, the event kicked into highgear with Charmaine Hammond's presentationabout her beloved dog Toby, and the lesson filledjourney they took together.

"I'm excited to share his story, to make you laugh,and inspire you, and be thankful he wasn't yourdog," teased the author of "On Toby's Terms."

Toby, was a five-year-old "goofy looking"Chesepeake Bay Retriver, she and her husbandadopted. Hammond told the crowd that because ofToby, she discovered a way to pursue her passion,and Toby was able to leave his pawprints of lovearound the world.

After about six months in the Hammond house-hold, Toby decided to trash the house. Hammonddescribed it as the "Day of Destruction," as mosteverything in the house was damaged. The watercooler, plants, clothes, shoes, and a variety of otherobjects were strewn about. Evidence was in the pic-tures her husband took as all the toilet tanks had beensmashed, and water was left running in the bathtuband sink with Toby becoming trapped inside.

The destruction was so extensive, that her hus-band thought there had been a robbery, and called ona neighbour to come and assist him. Luckily, onlyToby's paw was cut during the rampage.

There was more going on with Toby than theHammonds realized and they decided to get the helpof a dog behaviour therapist, who felt that he neededa purpose, and through testing and training, Tobybecame a pet assisted therapy dog. He got a jobworking in the psychiatric unit at Alberta Hospitalevery Wednesday, and helped brighten the lives ofpatients who were suffering from mental illness. "Hetaught me about being a good friend." Toby alsotaught Charmaine about passion, patience, and per-

sistence.Sticking things out a bit longer, communicating

better, as well as teaching the importance of celebrat-ing success, were also a couple of valuable lessonsHammond learned along the way. And along theway, either by accident or destiny, Hammond wouldbe encouraged to write a book on Toby.

Toby also taught Hammond to be present, andgive meaning to everything you do. "He used to starthis day with a happy dance." It made her start tobegin her day with more joy and gratitude as well.

She encouraged participants to be kind to them-selves, stress less, and to find things that bring andgive joy. Toby shared his unconditional love, with notonly those patients, but people in their everydaylives, and to school children he'd visit. Altogether,Toby touched the lives of 10,000 students during

school presentations overthe years. He also touchedhundreds of more peoplehe would personally greetduring a multitude ofbook signings in recentyears.

"When we have pas-sion and purpose, and agood spirit, we canendure a lot," addedHammond.

While Hammond lost agood friend this pastOctober, the world hasgained a friend, and hislegacy will live on in themessage she continues todeliver through presenta-tions and her book. Tobywill also be immortalizedin a motion picture that is in the initial stages ofdevelopment.

"I wish you well, and encourage you to live yourlife on your own terms," concluded Hammond.

Next on stage were Deanna Siemens and LoreleiThomas, two of the three authors of The Big Cookcookbook, who shared their secrets of solving thedreaded dinner dilemma.

"We want to show you what the big cook is," saidThomas. "It was my survival method," addedSiemens. More of a concept than cookbook, theauthors told audience members they would neverhave to wonder what's for dinner again. By buyinggroceries in bulk, and hosting cooking parties, thewomen have been able to provide healthy home-made meals for family and friends over the past 13years.

Thomas and Siemens demonstrated how to pre-pare eight meals in five minutes for the audience, andencouraged participants to adopt the "Big Cook"method in order to save time, save money, and stressless. They said that for $300 you could make 30 maincourse meals that are frozen, taken out of the freezerdaily, and are ready to cook or already cooked whenyou get home from work. The recipes in the "BigCook" can be cooked in the oven, slow cooker, stirfried, microwaved or barbecued, and cost on average$10 to $12 per meal.

"One of the reasons we do the Big Cook is to havemore free time," said Thomas, who estimated themethod frees up about an hour a day, taking awayplanning, preparation, and a lot of clean up time.

"It's a cooking concept that can change the wayyou live," added Siemens, who encouraged partici-pants to try the "Big Cook" at home and share it withtheir family and friends.

Everyone of the participants received a comple-mentary copy of the Big Cook from Lamont County

Friends and acquaintances got a chance to catch upduring refreshment breaks.



Charlie and Debby Gargus love to share in the music of the Ukrainian culture,and that is why the local couple have been organizing the Ukrainian MusicWorkshop in Mundare for the past seven years.

The Gargus’ say the workshop is not, however, limited to people of Ukrainianheritage. “We have students that can claim heritage from England, France,Scotland, Romania, Germany, Poland, Ireland, and China; all wanting to be able toplay a very challenging style of music that is fun and energetic.”

This year participants ranged from five to 80 years of age, and travelled fromall over the greater Edmonton region, including: Lamont, Mundare, Vegreville,Fort Saskatchewan, Smoky Lake, and Westrose.

“Family members of participants are very pleased to have another opportuni-ty for their children to participate in a cultural experience,” add Charlie andDebbie.

The day long event is patterned after the workshops and camps run by theAlberta Society of Fiddlers. Planning for the first ever workshop began in the fallof 2004 by local fiddlers including Peter Gargus.

“We initially expected to run a maximum of two workshops, but have not beenallowed to stop, and demand continues to hold for this ever popular event.

“We can feel the energy rise as the participants start coming into the hall at 8:30in the morning, and it continues to increase until after the concert and jam, andeveryone has headed home.”

The “electrified” atmosphere that permeates the venue is fantastic. “The over-all impact is that many people visit Mundare and leave at the end of the eveningwith new friendships and great memories. Comraderie is a given, when you mixgood people with good food and music!”

The couple say they have met so many wonderful people over the last sevenyears, which has been absolutely heartwarming as well as listening to young peo-ple willingly share flambouyant Ukrainian music with other fiddlers.

They both have fond memories from sitting in the musical hall at Camp HeHoHaduring the Alberta Society of Fiddlers (ASF) camp. They have also enjoyed seeing the students volunteer atthe courtyard at the Ukrainian Village during their summer events as well as see workshop participants per-form at Pysanka Days in Vegreville.

The event is funded mostly through students registrations, and for the few classes which do not haveenough registrants, the shortfall in funds are offset by donations from local businesses, organizations, and res-idents. If there are any monies left over at the end of the event, they are distributed within the community.Last year the Mundare Fire and Rescue received money for helping to buy rescue tools for vehicle extrication.

The biggest challenges are to find instructors and having registrations completed in a timely fashion, butthey have always been able to meet those challenges in the past, and will no doubt, be able to do so again inthe future.The Gargus’ say the workshop has always been a very exciting and fun day,” and the eighth annual work-shop has already been set for March 9th, 2013.

Mundare student wins top honoursat EIPS district speech competition

Michelle PinonEditor

Inspiration can come from anywhere.It can also come from anyone.And the one person who was the source of inspi-

ration for Dylan Vadnais was her father.Her heartfelt words and emotions also inspired

the judges at the 2012 ATB Young SpeakersInvitational to award her top honors for her speech,“An Unexpected Hero.”

Vadnais, a Grade 5 student from Mundare School,was awarded second place in the district wide publicspeaking competition held on March 14th at theStrathcona County Hall. Many of the 300 audiencemembers were moved to tears by Vadnais’ speech,and told her after the competition that they weregoing to go right home and call their own dads!

It was also difficult for Dylan’s dad Donald andmom Sian to hold back tears during her speech whichcaptivated the hearts of everyone in the crowd.

Here is her speech in its entirety.“Superman, Sir Lancelot, Gandalf, Obi Wan

Kenobi...what do these heroes all have in common?They all live at my house!

Good afternoon honourable judges, guests, staff

and fellow students. Now you’re probably thinking, ok this girl’s a lit-

tle on the loopy side, let’s just humour her...pleaseremain calm, I’ll explain everything. You see, a littlepart of all those heros I just mentioned lives in MYhero, my dad.

Born and raised on a cattle farm he has the hard-working nature to prove it, but when he left home at18, his adventures had just begun and by the time Icame along, he’d had a lifetime of experiences toshare with me. And he does. Every day, he relates astory or a piece of advice during our time after schoolwhen we just sit and talk.

Sometimes I just nod and smile and think “Ohdad, I love you but...Really that’s sooo last milleni-um” but most of the time he makes sense, and I learna lot. Like a wise old wizard he magically calms meno matter how bad my day has been, and he canmake me feel instantly special with a hug and asmile.

My dad has taught me that nothing is impossible!He encourages and supports me so that I learn to likemyself, faults and all, and that’s a great feeling. Baddreams? No problem! My hero has even taught mehow to conquer my nightmares, so if that doesn’tmake him a Knight in shining armour, I don’t knowwhat does.

We do lots of activities together; we fly over sky-scrapers, sail the seven seas, and ride our trustysteeds through enchanted forests, all without leavingour seats. That’s right, we read together! In fact,sometimes at night, I can talk him into reading twochapters instead of just one! Well, you wouldn’t wanthim to stop right when the Trolls were going to eatBilbo, now would you? That’s just too terrible a fateto sleep on!!

We’re even writing a book together, it’s so muchFUN and dad helps me to streeetch my imagination!I love the night’s when my mom gives the “ok” andwe get daddy/daughter game time! We might set outon quests through the Kingdoms of Middle Earth,fight epic battle or just take a cruise in our landspeed-ers across the desserts of Tattooine. Adventuring isawesome when your partner is your dad!!

He’s understanding when I need a listener andtough when I need a firm hand, (and sometimes Ido.) Most importantly, he says that no matter what Ido, I’ll be his little girl and he’ll always love me. So there you have it, he can’t fly, and he doesn’t owna pointy hat, armour or a light sabre (at least not areal one anyway)...But my dad is magical and wise inhis own way, and ...well...a wonderfully unexpectedhero.”

Help Wanted

By MICHELLE PINONEditor

There will be finan-cially challenging timesahead for public schoolsin Elk Island.

Scott McFadyen, chieffinancial officer with ElkIsland Public Schools(EIPS), says administra-tors will have challeng-ing discussions and deci-sions to make over thenext month as they wres-tle with declining rev-enue and increasedexpenses.

The board of trusteesrecently passed a $5.4million deficit draftbudget that will be dis-tributed to 44 schools inthe district. From there,administrators will haveto crunch their ownnumbers and decidewhat stays and whatgoes in terms of pro-gramming, servicing,and staffing.

One of the key factorsin the budget is enrol-ment, and the other isexpenses, addsMcFadyen, and the sim-ple fact that revenue isnot keeping pace withgrowing inflation is agrowing concern andproblem.

Student enrollment isanother one of the keyfactors, notes McFadyen,as is funding which isbased on projections thatmay not add up onpaper. Upon analyzingthe details of the Feb. 9thprovincial budget,McFadyen has deter-mined the division's rev-enue will only increase0.5 per cent in the 2012-'13 school year. However,this funding will notcover the cost of infla-tion, and McFadyen saystough decisions willhave to made, as it is nolonger feasible for theschool division to dipinto reserves to coverlosses in revenue. Forexample, EIPS used $1.7million in reserves in lastyear's budget to make upfor losses in revenue,adds McFadyen.

In fact, McFadyen saysEIPS has used reserves tomaintain service levels inthe previous three budg-et cycles, but this prac-tice is no longer sustain-able because the divisionmust continue to main-tain an adequate reservebalance to deal withemergent issues.

In accordance with theSchool Act, EIPS charges

certain fees for suppliesand materials to enhancethe education experi-ence. Although this willbe a difficult budget, theboard has decided tohold the line on a num-ber of fees in 2012-'13such as the learningresource and transporta-tion fees.

While there has been alot of discussion in recentweeks surrounding fees,McFadyen says there hasbeen no discussionregarding reimburse-ment.

Even though thisbudget will be extremelychallenging, McFadyenhopes things will be a lit-tle easier and more pre-dictable over the nexttwo years, as the provin-cial government hascommitted funding forthe next three years,which is a positive stepforward, and will allowfor greater opportunitiesfor long-term planning.

McFadyen will betweaking the numbersduring early September,and the division's finalbudget will be submittedon Nov. 30th.

Tough choices for EIPSDeclining revenues and increased expenseswill make decision making very challenging

PUBLIC WORKS

NEW FOR LANDOWNERS SUBDIVIDING EXISTING YARD SITES IN LAMONT COUNTY

When applying for a subdivision in Lamont County and it consists an existing yard site,you will require a SURVEYOR’S SITE PLAN.The benefits of obtaining a surveyor’s site plan with a subdivision application for anestablished yard site are: 1. Takes out the guess work for landowners, planning department staff and MunicipalPlanning Commission in the actual size of parcel being subdivided out.2. Site plan is consistently in meters, shows all above ground appurtenances (build-ings, fences, shelterbelts, septic, etc…), and the distances to proposed and existingproperty lines. 3. Prevents the frequent conflicts that arise when the surveyor does the Real PropertyReport – often the parcel is larger or creates non-conformance with the setback require-ments of our Land Use Bylaw.4. Speeds up the process.

For more information, please callLamont County Planning &

Development@ 780-895-2233.
