Local AUPE holds wildcat strike
General support staff stages protest outside Lamont Health Care
BY MICHELLE PINON
Editor
Even as Carol
Palichuk was writing out
messages on picket signs
for 26 members of the
local chapter of the
Alberta Union of
Provincial Employees
(AUPE) who walked off
their jobs at the Lamont
Health Care Centre last
Thursday, Feb. 16th, she
predicted the wildcat
strike wouldn’t last long.
Palichuk, the local
council representative,
told the Lamont Leader
members of the general
support staff were follow-
ing suit behind their
counterparts at the Royal
Alexandra Hospital who
began picketing earlier
that morning.
The AUPE members
have been without a contract since last
April, and recently 93 per cent rejected
Alberta Health Services (AHS) offer.
“We went back to the table after they
offered us less money,” added
Palichuk. She said the original offer
was a cost of living increase over three
years at zero per cent, two per cent,
and two per cent; and the next offer
was lower at zero per cent, two per
cent, and zero per cent. Three years
ago, members received an increase of
five percent per year over three years.
Palichuk also pointed out that AHS
has also cut back on benefits, which
was another reason why they left their
posts shortly after 10:30 a.m. Picketing
is “scary, but everyone is standing
together. It’s encouraging to see mem-
bers sticking together for the same
cause.”
Jeannie Nearing, a service aide,
who has been working at the health
care centre for the past four and a half
years, said they, (members), just want
to be paid what they’re worth. “We’re
showing that we’re willing to fight for
our jobs.”
The types of jobs the general sup-
port staff perform include: laundry,
housekeeping, unit clerks, surgical
processors, maintenance, dietary, and
recreational aides.
“It’s my second day on the job,”
said Tiffany St. Jean, who never expect-
ed to be taken off the front line and
onto the street. Despite the fact, St. Jean
is just learning her job in the house-
keeping and laundry area, she would
like to be treated like equals.
According to Palichuk, general sup-
port staff are among the lowest paid
workers, despite the fact they are the
backbone of the system.
There were several passing
motorists who agreed with their
actions, voicing their support to mem-
bers. One motorist even handed a
worker a $20 bill.
Also, on the scene near lunch time
was Krista Brzezicki, a provincial exec-
utive representative for Local 43, who
came to show her support, and also let
members listen to an official statement
on her phone from AUPE President
Guy Smith.
She also used her phone to order
coffee and pizza for members who had
congregated outside the health centre
at the corner of 53rd Street and 52
Avenue. They also marched down
main street later in the afternoon until
Palichuk received a phone call around
4:30 p.m., calling members back to
work.
They were not legislated back to
work, but AUPE and AHS did reach an
agreement to have health care employ-
ees across the province return to work
with a guarantee there would be no
legal action or workplace discipline
taken against them.
At 4:45 p.m. the AUPE
issued a press release
from Smith stating: “I am
now calling on all of our
GSS members to return to
work immediately in
order to ensure they are
protected.”
The agreement will
also “restart negotia-
tions” between the two
sides with a binding
mediation/arbitration
process with labour arbi-
trator Andy Sims.
Addressing members
Smith stated: “It is impor-
tant for every one of you
to know that you can go
back to work with your
heads held high. Your
action allowed us to
secure a process that will
be binding on AHS, and
we are confident that the
arbitrator we selected will
maintain an atmosphere
of respect and fairness in
the negotiations.”
While the strike did disrupt a num-
ber of services at the health centre,
chief executive officer Harold James
stated: “We were able to manage fairly
well.”
James went onto say that a number
of surgeries had to be cancelled, and
some diagnostic tests had to be redi-
rected, that food services were not dis-
rupted.
Even though the strike was “stress-
ful” James said he did respect the gen-
eral support staff’s right to strike, and
welcomed the workers back when they
returned to work.
“You don’t want these things to
happen, but it does happen,” added
James, who respects the workers’
choices, and in turn, he hopes they
respect them.
Members of the local chapter of the AUPE were picketing outside of the Lamont Health Centre last Thursday
morning. They were protesting Alberta Health Services latest contract offer.

Welcome news.
The province’s recent
announcement to incr-
ease the amount of
money it allocates to
municipalities for roads,
recreational facilities,
water and sewer upg-
rades and community
centres.
The Towns of Lam-
ont, Bruderheim, and
Mundare as well as
Lamont County
will be benefitting
directly from the
$10 million
increase to the
Municipal Sustai-
nability Initiative
(MSI) allocations in
2012, and local rep-
resentatives could-
n’t be happier.
B r u d e r h e i m
Mayor Karl Hauch
said the town is
“extremely appre-
ciative of assistance
from the Gove-
rnment of Alberta,
and this grant pro-
gram in particular.
In 2012, Bruderheim
will be receiving just
over $298,000 in capital
funding and $76,000 in
operating funding under
the MSI program.
“Our MSI allocation
has stayed consistent
from 2011 and 2012,”
stated Hauch.
“We appreciate the
flexibility offered under
the MSI grant, and have
been actively asking for
increased flexibility and
streamlined application
processes to make the
program more efficient,”
added Hauch.
The MSI program,
allows municipalities to
use the funding either
before or after completi-
tion of projects and pro-
grams.
“The MSI grant has
allowed us to fix our
roads and sidewalks,
helped us build a new
fire hall, and provides us
with some support with
our operating budget
which helps us keep our
property taxes lower for
our residents.”
Since 2007, MSI has
provided $3.1 billion of
longterm funding to
enhance municipal sus-
tainability and helped
enable municipalities
meet the demands of
growth.
Town of Mundare
chief administrative offi-
cer Colin Zyla can attest
to that as capital funding
has been used towards
the main street rehabili-
tation and the completi-
tion of the lift station at
the Whitetail Crossing
development.
In 2011, the Town of
Mundare received a total
of $221,165 for capital
projects, and $27,506 for
operating funding. In
2012, the amount of capi-
tal funding is $224,500
and $56,692 in operating
funding.
Mundare Mayor
Mike Saric, said the MSI
funding is “crucial” and
accounts for about 30 per
cent of the town’s total
revenue.
“It’s nice to know we
have predictable long-
term funding, and it
makes it possible to plan
ahead,” added Saric.
It also contributes to
the growth of the com-
munity, as the town is
able to continue to offer a
variety of services and
amenities for existing
residents as well as assist
in attracting new resi-
dents to the town.
Saric is also pleased
the town has increased in
population from 823 to
855 according to the lat-
est federal government
census statistics based on
the year 2011.
The Town of Lamont
will be receiving
$361,588 in capital fund-
ing and $96,767 in oper-
ating funding in 2012.
According to finan-
cial officer Robert Mu,
MSI allocation have
played a very important
role in the town from a
financial perspective in
the past, and will contin-
ue to do so in the future.
MSI made the paving
of 54 Street and the area
north to the hospi-
tal possible. The
operating portion
of the grant has
also been used to
offset the operat-
ing losses of the
recreation centre
in previous years.
Mu adds that
MSI contributions
will also be used
over the next
three to four years
to pay for the new
town office.
While Lamont
County Reeve
Wayne Woldanski
had not seen the num-
bers at the time late last
week, he did say it was
good to see an increase in
the MSI funding.
In 2012 Lamont
County will receive just
over $1.4 million in capi-
tal funding, and more
than $286,000 in operat-
ing funding under MSI.
“The increase is cer-
tainly welcome,” added
Woldanski.
He said MSI has
allowed the county to
purchase graders, road
construction equipment,
and to complete internal
road projects over the
past four years.
“It does have a big
impact on our budget.”
And since municipal
officials will be review-
ing budgets over the next
couple of months, it may
afford them a few more
items than originally
planned.
So it seems the wel-
come news is just in time
as municipalities will be
grappling with budgets
over the next couple of
months.

Local communities to
reap benefits of funding
Province tops up 2012 MSI
funding allocations
For the past couple of
months public works
staff with the Town of
Lamont have been
changing out water
meter heads.
Town foreman
Richard Chernyk says
switching out the heads
will result in significant
cost savings for the
municipality in the short
and long term as staff
will no longer have to
manually check the
meters at each residence.
“It’s a huge time saver.”
As staff drive by resi-
dences, readings pop up
on the screen of a lab top
computer. Those read-
ings are then transferred
into files at the town
office, and can be cross-
referenced at the push of
a button.
Instead of taking
eight hours to read water
meters, an entire subdi-
vision can be completed
in a matter of minutes.
With new technology,
the meters can be read
via vehicle as it drives
through the streets. The
new LCD meters are
completely digital and
tamper proof, points out
Chernyk. The new meter
can be read faster via
electronics, are more
accurate, and can be test-
ed for leaks, he adds.
A total of 91 resi-
dences in the Campbell
subdivision have had the
new water meter heads
installed, and another
150 will be installed in
the Edna subdivision
this year.
The new heads cost
on average of $185 each,
and will be changed out
gradually over the next
couple of years.
New water meter heads installed
“The MSI grant has
allowed us to fix our roads
and sidewalks, helped us
build a new fire hall, and
provides use with some
support with our operat-
ing budget which helps
keep our property taxes
lower for our residents,”
said Bruderheim Mayor

Letter to the Editor
The Government's
Throne Speech commits
to multidisciplinary, co-
mmunity based family
health clinics as a way to
alleviate pressure on our
hospitals. The Lung Ass-
ociation supports the
new team based app-
roach and believes that
prevention and educa-
tion must be a major
focus of this new deliv-
ery model.
Prevention is key to
alleviating stress on our
system. Managing chr-
onic lung disease is a
good example of how
effective prevention can
be to keep people out of
emergency rooms, away
from hospital beds and
add quality to the lives of
those whose health iss-
ues can be debilitating.
A conservative esti-
mate of Albertans with
chronic lung diseases
like Asthma and COPD
would populate a city
more than half the size of
Calgary or Edmonton.
Children or adults in
crisis because they can't
breathe rush to Emer-
gency. Their situation
can be life threatening, so
they jump to the head of
the treatment queue.
People with COPD are
often admitted and may
stay an average of 13
days at approximately
$1000 per day, that's over
$13,000.
A prevention pro-
gram of early detection,
education and rehabilita-
tion will empower these
people to better manage
their disease and reduce
their flare ups. They will
visit Emergency less fre-
quently often keeping
themselves out of the
queue altogether. They
will often avoid hospital
stays, reducing pressure
on the system and leav-
ing those beds open for
others who need them.
If we are looking at
new approaches to
resolve the issues we face
as a province, prevention
is one of the keys to mak-
ing more of the health
care budget. It may be
difficult to quantify the
cost vs the benefit of pre-
vention programs. But
we know it works, and
we know we can't afford
not to do it. The Lung
Association encourages
Alberta Health to make
prevention part of its
new model.
Leigh Allard,
President & CEO
The Lung Association,
Alberta & NWT
Ounce of prevention better than pound of cure
Why do so many people bite their tongues?
Whether it’s in an association, schools, work,
or just life in general, is it that hard to say what's
on your mind?
In many of the associations and schools right
now, there are issues going on, yet only a hand
full of people will actually speak up and fight for
what is right. Then they get labelled as “trouble-
makers” of that organization or society, even
though they are often speaking the truth, and rep-
resenting the interest of more than just them-
selves.
What are people afraid of to say, and call out
the main problems in things? If there is an issue
isn't it easier to get it out, as opposed to bottle it
up inside and let it fester?
At the paper we get all sorts of people that will
call in just to point out something they don't like,
or a mistake they have found, but refuse to take it
any further. Is it the intent to just insult, or do peo-
ple just not want their names out in the public?
I for one stand up for what I think is right.
Some may find me intimidating, but I speak when
there is a problem. If my kids are getting bullied
at school, or there is an issue at one of the associ-
ations they are part of, I will speak up and defend
what I feel is a just cause.
I pride myself on not being intimidated by a
higher power, and not backing down from what I
feel is right. I just wish that more people could be
like that. If you can't stand up and fight for what
you don't agree with, then you don't have the
right to complain about it in the first place.
Or at the very least rather then just finding the
negative side of things to discuss, find some pos-
itive. Some things are simple, they are black and
white...other things there is a huge grey area.
But maybe I am just the type a person that
wants to fix the hard things in life, so that my kids
might have it a little easier then me.
Is it not better to address your concerns head
on, and get a resolution so that you can then enjoy
going to these events, or even opening your paper
and having a coffee while you read it? Don't
depend on the few "troublemakers" to stand up
and fight for what you want, but stand beside
them so they are not being singled out all the
time.

mxz 600Statistics Canada recently released the 2011 cen-
sus.
It indicates an increase in population for the Town
of Lamont of 84 people, and a decrease in population
for Lamont County of 33 people.
In 2006 the population of the Town of Lamont was
1,699 and increased to 1,753 in 2011.
In 2006 the population of Lamont County was 3,905
and decreased to 3,872 in 2011.
The county’s chief administrative officer (CAO)
told council the federal census was done after the last
federal election, and the county chose not to provide
update numbers at the time.
CAO Al Harvey informed council Feb. 15th that it
could conduct its own census, but would need some
direction in order to meet the training deadline for
census takers.
“You can do a census every year, but the training
is only once a year,” said Harvey. The federal census
is done every five years, and results do affect some of
the county’s per capita grants, added Harvey.
Harvey also pointed out the federal census does
not take divisional boundaries into account. “It’s just
something you have to be cognizant of.”
After some discussion, council decided not to take
any action on the item.

In just under three weeks, the Town of Lamont
will be relocating to its new office.
Sandi Maschmeyer, acting chief administrative offi-
cer for the municipality, says March 12, 13, and 14th
have been set aside for the move.
She is hoping everything will go smoothly, and
council has left the details in the hands of
Maschmeyer and staff with Funk Moving, a Fort
Saskatchewan based company that was recently
given the green light by council.
Maschmeyer, said they may have to use folding
chairs and TV trays for council’s first meeting, even
though the table and chairs for council chambers
have been ordered.
At council’s last meeting on Feb. 14th, they
approved spending up to a maximum of $20,000 for
the table and chairs from CDI.
So, from now on, staff will have the task of pack-
ing up papers and files, for the move across the park-
ing lot to the new civic centre in just three weeks.

Members of Chipman 4-H Beef Club spent Saturday, Feb.11th touring barns to
see the growth and development of their steers.

Editor
The Shawchuk farm was one of four
members of the Chipman 4-H Beef
Club visited recently during its annual
calf tour.
Shayleen Shawchuk, who has been
a member for the past couple of years,
says the tour is a good opportunity to
see how well everyone’s calf is doing.
“It’s really interesting from what
they look like now, and in June; how
they grew lots and the different colours
they changed from early spring till
then.”
Shawchuk’s Angus cross is doing
well, and she enjoys learning how feed
and properly care for her steer. “The
things I have learned in 4-H is being
with animals, how to properly feed
them, and watching them grow up
healthy and happy.”
Even though achievement day is
more than four months away,
Shawchuk knows the time will pass
quickly, and before you know it, June
4th will have arrived.
Right now though, the 13-year-old
is concentrating on public speaking at
the club’s competition is only days
away.
She invites anyone and everyone
who is interested in coming out to the

Lamont graduation class raising funds through raffle
BY MICHELLE PINON
Editor
It may be only a couple of days, but
June 15 and 16th, will be extremely
special and memorable days for the
graduating class of Lamont High
School.
And members of the Grade 12 class
have been planning, preparing, and
fundraising for graduation with a ven-
gence since school began in September.
Many hours have been spent dur-
ing lunch hours to make the two day
event successful. In large part, the key
to success will hinge on proceeds from
fundraisers, and the students are
appealing to community members to
support them in their endeavor.
Graduation presidents Kelsey
Cleverdon and Eric Malica acknowl-
edge the commitment required and the
costs associated with the once in a life-
time event, as they, along with commit-
tee members raise money to cover
expenses of the caterer, disc jockey, hall
rental, and decorations.
Graduation advisor Dianna Graziano
acknowledges the dedication it takes,
and is happy to have the assistance of
principal Lonnie Hicks and assistant
principal Jeff Spady.
To date, the grad class has held bot-
tle drives, bake sales, sold cookie
dough and poinsettas. Their last
fundraiser before graduation will be a
raffle during the month of March.
Tickets are $10 each, and will be sold
until Feb. 23rd. A prize will be drawn
each day, with the last prize drawn on
March 22nd. The larger prizes include
an Acer Netbook, a 32 GB iPod, 32”
LCD TV, Xbox Kinect and Xbox con-
sole, and 16GB iPad.
Tickets can be purchased at Lamont
Foods or the Flower Pot. From March
1st to March 22nd, a daily prize will be
drawn, so everyone will have several
chances to win.

ident Eric Malica. Missing is female president Kelsey Cleverdon and principal

Trout can be finicky.
Minnow, magots, meal
worms, little shrimp,
cheese and corn are
some of popular types
of bait used to lure them
in.
While there were “a
few nibbles” no
trout were caught
by a group of 24
young anglers at the
Lamont Fish &
Game Association
trout pond last
Saturday during the
youth group’s first
ever ice fishing
event.
Despite the fact,
they didn’t haul in
any trout, all of the
kids had tons of fun
and got to learn
some of the basics
involved with this
type of fishing.
Needless to say they
were all hooked on
the sport, as they
say: “hook, line, and
sinker.
It was 10-year-
old Tyson Snyder’s first
time ice fishing, and he
was using corn and min-
nows as bait in the pond
which is restocked every
year by the association.
He said it didn’t mat-
ter how loud your voice
was, it wouldn’t scare
the fish away. After he’s
finished baiting his
hook, he says: “All you
can do is put the mitts
on, and then it’s the
waiting game.”
That’s what friend
Trent Kucy was doing,
“Waiting for a trout to
snap on.”
What’s needed first
and foremost is
patience. That was the
word from Mike
Dowhaniuk, who was
assisting his nephew
Cody Onushko. Dowh-
aniuk has very fond
memories of fishing
with his grandparents,
and is very pleased to be
able to share his time
and talents with his
nephew.
Margaret Basillie and
Austin Tarka were hang-
ing out together at one
of the many holes on the
pond. Even though they
didn’t have anything on
their hooks, they were
all smiles enjoying each
other’s company, the
mild weather, and a few
hot dogs and hot choco-
late supplied by the
adult volunteers
throughout the after-
noon.
For several of the
youngsters, like
Jordan Gyman, it was
their first outing on
the ice, and he was
just pleased to be
able to keep the fish-
ing pole he had made
several weeks earlier
with fellow youth
club members.
The stick, which
measures about eight
inches in length, had
fishing line wra-pped
around it, and a faux
minnow on the end.
He did a little bob-
bing of the line up
and down while
waiting for a little bit
of a tug. He was
advised to pull up
the line and run
when the time came.
Youth group leaders
Dominique and Vince
Pichota’s hearts were
warmed by the excite-
ment of the kids, and
their desire to learn the
sport. All in all, it was a
great afternoon filled
with adventure and fun,
and judging by the
smiles on the kids faces,
one they will want to
repeat next year.

afternoon of ice fishing at the trout pond on Saturday, Feb.18th.

Blossoming Lamont family reaches five generations
“The most important thing is to take care of each other,”
says 92-year-old great, great grandmother Julia Mayer
BY MICHELLE PINON
Editor
Longtime Lamont resident Julia Mayer said she could hardly believe it when
her family reached three generations. Now it’s blossomed to five generations, and
the 92-year-old great, great grandmother can only shake her head in complete
and utter amazement.
She cannot help but get emotional and teary eyed thinking about her two chil-
dren, her granddaughter, her great granddaughter, her great, great granddaugh-
ter and her great, great grandson. “I just can’t get enough of them,” says Julia,
who can often be found playing on the floor with the youngsters who are two and
three-and-a-half years old respectively.
Even though Julia has had a very hard life, she says it’s a life she wouldn’t
change, even if she could travel back in time and do it all over again.
Life for Julia was especially difficult as her father passed away when she was
at a very young age. It was so hard, that in order to simply survive, some of her
other brothers and sisters, nine all together, had to go to live with other families
in the district because her mother could not afford to feed them all.
In order to put food on the table, Julia’s mom had to walk to town in order to
earn some money, and did so by cleaning houses.
“It was tough back then; don’t kid yourselves,” says Julia’s daughter Dorothy
Trudgeon who was raised and has resided in Lamont all of her life.
Julia remembers both cruelty and kindness growing up. Other school children
bullied her for being so poorly dressed, while some other residents offered food
and footwear to her because they knew she was going without.
Trading products and services was common place in the community as they col-
lectively tried to make it through the Dirty ‘30’s. Julia shakes her head in disbe-
lief, wondering how her mother was able to hold things together. “I don’t know
how she kept us going?”
“The most important thing is to take care of one another, and remember fam-
ily is the most important thing.”
Both Dorothy and her daughter Karen wholeheartedly agree. Dorothy and her
husband Murray cared for Julia up until a few years ago when Karen, who also
lives in Lamont, took over her care due to mobility issues. They both would move
heaven and earth for Julia, and same goes for each other, their children and great
grandchildren.
Each one of them are there for each other no matter what. Dorothy says some-
times its emotional support, and other times it’s financial support. Yet, they find
a way to make things work. Often times, they help babysit Karen’s daughter
Dallas’ little ones Brayden and Cheyenne.
“You do it for the love of your family,” says Dorothy matter of factly. No mat-
ter what, this family is always there for each other. Karen chuckles, and says
rarely a day goes by that they don’t talk to one another either.
While all of them have encountered hard times at various times during their
lives, they all have grown stronger, more resilient, and compassionate as a result.
Their advice is to focus on family, and not the material trappings that can trap
families. They prefer the simpler and slower pace of life instead of the rat race and
overwhelming concern with possessions as the current generation. “They’ve put
family second to making it; and that’s where the kids get lost,” states Dorothy
emphatically.
Both Dorothy and Karen hope things will cycle back so families will be able to
return to the basics and put the emphasis squarely where it needs to belong; and
that’s on family.

Book fair raises $3,000 for school
Lamont Elementary School’s annual book fair, held last Wednesday and Thursday, was highly successful and
hugely popular amongst students, parents, and staff.
Odette Romanchuk is always amazed by the
response of students, parents, and staff members to
the annual book fair at Lamont Elementary School.
“To sell that many books is pheonominal,” says
Romanchuk, well over $6,000 worth of books for a
school with only 270 students.
“It’s the students who win,” adds Romanchuk, as
60 per cent of the proceeds are donated back to the
school to use to purchase more books and materials
for the school library.
“We’ve had successful book fairs since day one,”
says Romanchuk. “Lamont has been so supportive of
the book fair. It’s fantastic.”
Romanchuk says the book fair has been going for
more than 30 years, and she is continually amazed by
the support of the community, and hopes the event
will continue on for many more years to come.
