Sturgeon Public Schools (SPS) will increaseclass sizes for grades four to 12 and increasetransportation fees in the 2020-2021 schoolyear. School resource fees will not be charged,but there will be program reductions and fewercentral supports. Early Childhood Programswill also experience significant cuts.

This information was emailed to SPS fami-lies May 29 in the following letter.

“At the direction of the Board, the2020–2021 Budget includes a multi-year strat-egy that tries to mitigate the significant impactsSturgeon Public Schools will experience underthe New Funding Model. When students returnin September, class sizes in Grades 4–12 willsee a slight increase, there will be programreductions and less central supports forschools. Our staff remains committed to ourshared purpose – Student Achievement andcommitted to service to our communities.

“In their deliberations, the Board also recog-nized the impact the COVID-19 pandemic hashad on our communities and families, thus theComplementary Learning Resource Fee will bewaived for the 2020–2021 school year for allstudents,” it states.

The budget picture summary stated that inOctober 2019, in the mid-year budget releasedby the provincial government, Sturgeon PublicSchools lost the Class Size Initiative Grant,Transportation Fee Grant and School FeeGrant. They were replaced by a one-time tran-sition grant of $1.7 million which left SPS witha $3 million shortfall for 2019-2020.

SPS will manage its 2020-2021 budget bysetting a long term financial sustainabilityplan, putting resources directly into class-rooms, reducing staff and programs across thesystem and increasing Transportation Fees.

The 2020-2021 Provincial New FundingFramework for publicly funded School Divi-sions released in February included the BridgeFunding. It will be eliminated by 2022-2023.SPS is carrying forward a deficit of $1.3 mil-lion and will need to reduce its operating budg-et by $8.6 million in the next three years.

In a May 27 press release the SPS boardstated, “We share the Government’s commit-ment to fiscal prudence and understand theunprecedented economic times within whichwe operate. However, the impact of the NewFunding Framework coupled with the October2019 mid-year budget reductions is simplydevastating to Sturgeon Public Schools. OurBoard remains committed to our students, staffand the communities we proudly serve. Wewill continue to put students first, and advocateto the Alberta Government to ensure our stu-dents receive quality Rural Public Education.”

The press release said, “The board’s unwa-vering commitment to the stewardship of trustthat is Public Education includes long termplanning and forecasting in order to mitigatefinancial risk. Further, the Board believes thatbuilding a one-year budget would have beenshortsighted and would put at risk the divi-sion’s ability to sustain programs and opera-tions for the communities we are privileged to

serve.”The 2020-2021 budget is based upon a

multi-year approach to fiscal planning andaccountability; Sturgeon’s Vision, Mission and

Values; keeping resources in classrooms;Financial Risk Analysis to ensure future finan-cial sustainabilityof the Division and the pro-grams that our children access; and the prudent

application of Bridge Funding included in thenew Funding Framework.

Holy Family Catholic School (HFSC) Grads of 2020 stand as a drive-by parade in Waskatenau pays tribute to them. On May29, HFSC hosted a community Grad parade to celebrate the accomplishments of its Grads. Grads had the opportunity toparade out of the school to their grad song "Tattoos on this Ground" by Jason Aldean. Once they reached their position thedrive-by parade began led by the Village of Waskatenau Fire Department with the Mayor congratulating the grads through theloud speaker of the truck and spraying water from the front of the fire truck. The RCMP were next in line followed by parents,school community and friends. The innovative ceremony was held to abide by the rules of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Redwater firefighters Shannon (Left) and Nia Mckenzie plant flowers at the town campground during the RedwaterCommunity Planting Bee May 28. “I like contributing to the community,” said Shannon. “It’s good to help,” added Nia.

Larger class sizes, program reductions, higher bus fees expected

Although the Royal Canadian Legion Red-water Branch #251 will remain closed to pub-lic events and activities until Stage 3 of theprovincial government’s economic re-opening,support to veterans continues and the build-ing’s foundation repair is being prepared.

“We’re basically shut down,” said treasurerKevin Ilsley. “The only thing we’re doing islooking after veterans if they need assistance.”

Accessing veterans’ supports has changedslightly. In the past, Ilsley said most of the timea need would come up during a conversationover coffee and the veteran could be told theLegion has supports for a particular problemmentioned. Now it is up to veterans or theirdependents to call the Legion (780-942-3841)and leave a message asking for assistance.

The services are the same, with the PoppyFund providing help with medical devices,food and paying bills. “During this time ofCOVID, if a veteran or their dependant can’tpay the hydro bill, we can help fill the gap,”said Ilsley.

While the Legion hall is closed to the publicbecause of the pandemic, members hope to getthe building foundation fixed. That would pro-vide work for a company during a slow timeand keep the Legion from having to close thehall again at a later date.

Planning for the $35,000 foundation projecthas been under way for about 18 months. Aprovincial grant was received for half the costand some funds accessed from DominionCommand. As well, the Redwater Legion was

holding Friday night suppers as a fundraiser. Those suppers have not been held since mid

March because of the COVID-19 pandemic.Bingos, card games, ralleys, conventions andrentals were also cancelled.

The Legion executive meets regularly, withmembers seated at separate tables to ensurephysical distancing is maintained. Membersmade changes to bylaws to address their inabil-ity to hold monthly meetings and to keep thecurrent executive in place as long as theprovincial state of emergency exists. They alsodonated $500 to the local food bank and $500to the Redwater Museum for storage shelves.

“We’re still working in the background if weget the opportunity,” Ilsley said.

Legion Hall closed but members still active

Redwater Lions Club members planted 100seedling trees on the Redwater Community GolfCourse May 25.

“It is hoped that over the next few years thetrees will continue to mature and grow so thatthey can be transplanted to other areas of thecourse to supplement some of the older trees,”said outgoing Lions president Dave McRae. “Inthe meantime they will hopefully beautify anarea of the course adjacent to the Number 8green.”

The tree planting was done to mark this year’s100th anniversary of Lions Clubs in Canada. It isdoubly significant because 2020 is also the Red-water Lions Club’s 70th anniversary.

“Over these many decades members of Lionsclubs have donated their time, efforts and ener-gies to make their communities, and their coun-tries, better places,” said McRae. “Clubs wereencouraged to help mark this 100 year milestoneby planting trees with an overall goal to plant100,000 trees in Canada.”

The Redwater Lions undertook planting 100trees and approached the local golf course as alocation for them. Because the trees were plant-ed over six feet apart to allow for maintenanceand equipment access, a large area of propertywas needed. Lions members worked with Lion’sDistrict C-1, and with a private donation from agolf club member, the Lions Club purchased 100seedlings.

“The Lions Club would like to thank the Red-water Community Golf Club for providing thespace and encourage everyone to plant one spe-cial tree this year to help not only their environ-ment but to beautify their community,” saidMcRae. LAW OFFICE

The attendance area boundarybetween Vilna and Smoky Lakeschools will change for the 2020-2021school year. When the new boundarycomes into effect this fall a fairly largeportion of the southwest part of theVilna attendance area will become partof the Smoky Lake attendance area.

The change does not affect currentstudent numbers at Vilna School. Itimpacts four students who live in thecurrent Vilna School attendance areabut attend H.A. Kostash (HAK)School in Smoky Lake as their schoolof choice. When the boundary changecomes into effect they will reside inthe HAK attendance area and be eligi-ble for busing to HAK.

The current attendance area bordersare immediately east and south ofHighways 857, 28 and 36.

With this change the northern sec-tion of the Vilna west boundary linewill be extended south 1.5 miles (totwo miles south of Hwy 28). From thatpoint the boundary line will go east 2.5miles (to half a mile east of Hwy 859).From there the boundary goes south,jogging east at the correction line(Twp 590) before continuing straightsouth to the North SaskatchewanRiver.

Aspen View Public Schools (AVPS)board approved the new attendanceareas during its May 7 meeting.

“One of the key priorities of ourboard of trustees is to advocate forrural sustainability,” said board chairCandy Nikipelo. “Over the last num-ber of years, we have heard from fam-ilies who are proud to call the Vilnacommunity home, but choose to havetheir children attend H.A. KostashSchool in Smoky Lake; their right tomake that choice is protected throughlegislation and board School of Choicepolicy.”

She said families in the Vilna areawho chose to have their childrenattend school in Smoky Lake find thecurrent attendance boundaries pose

significant challenges because they arerequired to transport their children to apick-up location within the HAK area.That has cost implications, and forsome parents has been an impedimentto employment.

“Some families have indicated thatthey may soon face a choice ofenrolling their children outside ofAspen View or moving their familyout of the Vilna area altogether,”Nikipelo said. “Determining how toadjust attendance boundaries toaddress these concerns was very chal-lenging for the Transportation Com-mittee and the Board of Trustees. Akey factor in our decision was that thenew boundary does not change thecurrent enrolment of HAK nor VilnaSchool. The students currently livingwithin the affected area all currentlyattend HAK as School of Choice.”

She added that the board believesthis change maintains both Vilna andHAK as strong schools and keeps fam-ilies in Aspen View and in the Vilnacommunity.

Local trustees Tom Mykytiuk andDonna Cherniwchan did not take partin the board decision on the boundarychange due to potential conflicts ofinterest. Cherniwchan stated a poten-tial pecuniary interest because thedecision could potentially affect trans-portation for her children and createfinancial implications. Mykytiuk didnot participate in the decision becausehis wife works at Vilna School. Theydeclined to comment on the decision.

This attendance area review wasbegun after the AVPS TransportationCommittee heard some attendancearea concerns during transportationappeals on Sept. 30, 2019. In April2017 the board changed the boundarybetween Vilna School and H.A.Kostash (HAK) School in SmokyLake, putting the western edge of theVilna attendance area into the SmokyLake area.

Portion of Vilna school attendancearea moved to Smoky Lake

Thorhild County residents may have a $60 increasein taxes this year, or a $100 increase, or maybe more.

Council took a first look at 2020 mill rates during itsMay 26 meeting, and after a lengthy discussion (wellover an hour) about the two proposed tax rate alterna-tives, directed administration to prepare a third option.

Impacting this year’s municipal mill rates are anoverall two percent ($18.2 million) decrease in totalassessments within the county and the need to collect$79,100 to cover provincial policing costs, an expensethe county did not previously have. The mill rate forpolicing costs will collect about $10 per $100,000 ofassessment.

The Alberta School Foundation Fund (ASFF) requi-sition increased, so the mill rates to collect it willincrease. The Seniors Lodge requisition amountremained the same, but because the county’s assess-ment decreased, the mill rate to collect that requisitionwill increase slightly.

Administration proposed two options, with the firstcollecting $11 million in municipal taxes and the sec-ond $10.7 million. Last year the county collected $11.4million in municipal taxes.

Option one proposed starting with the 2019 millrates and adding the mill rate amount (0.0997) requiredto collect funds for policing costs. With the requisi-tions, that would result in an increase of $99 to theaverage residential property. The county would collect$357,100 more in taxes than was listed as tax revenuein the 2020 budget. Those funds could be designated asa contingency for potential oil and gas tax accountwrite offs.

Option two was crafted to collect the amount of taxrevenue budgeted for this year. It decreased the 2019municipal mill rate by 3.25 percent, then added themill rate amount for policing costs. Under this optionthe average residential property would see a taxincrease of $58. Because there would not be a contin-gency for potential oil and gas tax account write offs,administration said if such a contingency is needed,funds could be transferred from budgeted items such aspredesign of industrial lands servicing, and the LongLake waterline, the drainage master plan or reservetransfers.

Council discussion covered the need for the indus-trial area design and reserves for major purchases,drainage issues, roads and the desire to grow the coun-ty, not continually cut back on purchases and services.

“Look at what the mill rate shouldtheoretically be set at to move aggres-sively forward,” said reeve KevinGrumetza. “What would it look like if itwas matched to inflation? We can’tkeep cutting. Sooner or later we have tocome back up to standard.”

Council passed a resolution to haveadministration prepare a third option ofmill rates based on applying last year’sinflation rate of 2.3 percent to the 2019mill rates and then adding the mill rateto collect funds for provincial policing.

The options will be considered at afuture meeting.

Sturgeon County Council members will betaking a five percent salary reduction for June1 through to December 31, 2020 as the majori-ty approved the action during their regularCouncil meeting May 26.

The salary reduction is expected to result in$16,514 in 2020 budget savings, Director ofCorporate Services Jesse Sopko noted. Councilhad initiated the direction to staff to bring backoptions for a reduction during the COVID-19period.

“Woodlands County and Strathcona CountyCouncils considered such an adjustment,”Sopko said, with Woodlands dropping theirofficial honorarium by 10% and Strathconadefeating the motion to reduce elected offi-cials’ salary by 15% for the length of the pan-demic.

Coun. Wayne Bokenfohr suggested Stur-geon maintain their salaries as he anticipatedCouncil would be working through the summerholidays and breaks. Coun. Neal Comeaupointed out they have more meetings thanbefore with extra committees and questioned,“what is the objective, what do we hope toachieve.”

Coun. Patrick Tighe who had raised theissue of the salary reduction responded, “ifeveryone pitches in a little bit it does make adifference,” adding it is more a “token gesturein support of society.”

Coun. Kristen Toms said the 5% reduction is“wholely symbolic,” adding “is it necessary orjust optics.”

The annual base salaries for the County’selected officials are Mayor $102,874, Deputy

Mayor $78,872 and Councillors $74,339.

June 3 is Clean Air Day. It’s a good time to reflecton the value of clean air and individual activities thatimpact air quality.

“While local air quality is at a low risk to healthmost of the time in our Airshed, Clean Air Day givesus a chance to think about the steps we can all take tohelp maintain and even improve the quality of ourlocal air,” noted Fort Air Partnership ExecutiveDirector Nadine Blaney.

There are many ways individuals can contribute toclean air. For example, walking, riding a bicycle ortaking the bus instead of driving a car lessens theimpact on air quality. Choosing air-friendly products,not idling a vehicle while parked, using less energyby turning down thermostats and air conditioners,and shutting off lights when they are not needed areother ways to improve air quality.

Fort Air Partnership is encouraging residents tosupport Clean Air Day by taking at least one of theseactions on June 3 ... and making it a habit throughoutthe year.

Fort Air Partnership continuously monitors andreports on outdoor air quality in and around theIndustrial Heartland. This information, along with adaily and forecast AQHI, is available to the public atfortair.org The AQHI provides people with a way togauge the quality of outdoor air, and adjust their levelof outdoor activity accordingly.

Instead of convocation May 22 and banquet and dance May 23,the Thorhild Central School (TCS) class of 2020 was celebrated byschool staff that weekend via the TCS Facebook page. Photos ofeach of the 24 graduates were posted with a brief note about them.

“There are a lot of great stories and messages from staff andtrustees that we sent to students,” said acting principal Justin Gross.“We spent the day filling it with tribute.”

The tributes, advice and messages of encouragement culminatedin a graduation speech by teacher Shaun Kiselyk.

“We are also planning a grade 12 farewell for the last day of

school, but are still working through the details of what this will looklike,” Gross said. It is planned as a small private ceremony to wishstudents well and send them off while still following Alberta HealthServices guidelines regarding gatherings during the COVID-19 pan-demic. Class valedictorian Zoey Feledichuk may have the opportu-nity to address her classmates at that time.

Thorhild County is providing about $700 for the purchase of lawnsign style signs with each graduate’s picture.

The TCS Grad Committee has tentatively planned to host a con-vocation ceremony and a banquet and dance in September.

Thorhild grads celebrate online for now but aconvocation ceremony may be held this fall

Thorhild Central School 2020 valedictorianZoey Feledichuk.

Zoey Feledichuk is the Thorhild Central Schoolclass of 2020 valedictorian.

“I worked pretty hard,” she said. “I’ve beenworking on this for a long time.”

She is looking forward to taking the combinedLab and X-ray Technology program at the North-ern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in thefall.

“I’ve always wanted to work in a hospital,” shesaid. “I like the science part of it, looking at bonesand blood. I want to help people but not have togive them the hard information directly.”

To finish grade 12 Feledichuk is taking Chem-istry 30, Math 30 and Social Studies 30 throughthe online learning system set up after schoolswere closed March 15 because of the COVID-19pandemic.

“It’s very different,” she said “The classes are alot harder because you get no hands-on help fromthe teachers. You can contact them, and they’realways there to help, but it’s not the same.” Sheadded that while it is not ideal, the process is good.

To do chemistry labs she walks through a virtu-al lab demonstration, then sends her teacher awrite-up and analysis of the lab.

“I wish we could do it in-person,” she said.“We’d get to do a lot cooler labs than online.”

An athlete as well as a dedicated academic stu-dent, Feledichuk played “just about every sportthe school offered” and took Ukrainian dancingfor 14 years. Those activities shut down in midMarch, but she is still busy with school, work andhelping on the farm. She schedules school in themornings and early afternoons and goes to work inmid-afternoon at the Thorhild Co-op hardwarestore.

Feledichuk is looking forward to a plannedfarewell at TCS at the end of June. To stay withinAlberta Health Services regulations, the event willbe restricted to staff and the grade 12 students. Herclass hopes to have a convocation ceremony and agrad banquet and dance in September.

Letter to the editor;I think Thorhild County should buy those

Alberta First Responders radios. Either that orhave the local radio system be able to tap intothe AFRRCS system.

I know there’s a report being done on theseradios. I suspect it will recommend the additionsof these radios to the county’s emergency serv-ices. If it would be possible to reprogram thetransceivers to communicate on the AFRRCS sfrequencies, then that would be another option.It might be cheaper too.

When New York City had 9/11 happen, policeand fire personnel couldn’t talk to one anotherand coordinate their activities. As a result, EMSpeople realized that there had to be a way tocommunicate with all responders.

Even if it raised my taxes a bit, I’d be infavour of such an expenditure. Various EMSservices could stay in touch with each other inthe event of a catastrophe. We would also be inline with other counties who already have thissystem.

—Bruce Atchison, radio amateur VE6XTC
