Oldest Ukrainian Catholic church in Canada celebrates 125 years

BY JANA SEMENIUK Church members, their families, and friends, gathered at the Star-Peno Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church on Aug. 7 to celebrate 125 years as the oldest Ukrainian Catholic Parish in Canada.

The day included a visit from Bishop David Motiuk and Father Gabriel Haber, the Provincial Superior from Winnepeg; along with a banquet and dinner.

“Our people are celebrating their achievement, hard work and dedication. And I'm so proud to be with them, a part of this wonderful 125-year history,” said Father Gabriel.

He added that 10 years ago, he served the Star-Peno church as their pastor for seven years.

“It is like coming home,” he said smiling. “I consider this parish one of the nicest parishes. It’s wonderful to work with them.”

The Star-Peno Catholic Ukrainian Church’s history began in 1897 like most churches in the area. However, a split in the congregation in 1900 led to a dispute over ownership which erupted in 1901 when both groups, the Orthodox and the Ukrainian Catholic, wanted to use the church at the same time for their Easter celebrations.

According to reports, police were called to keep the peace and both groups held their celebrations outdoors. Peace was not kept for long, however, as subsequently five separate court proceedings from 1904 to 1907

Photo: Jana Semeniuk ended with the ruling of ownership awarded to the Orthodox. The ruling was decided by a previous permit to cut logs for the original church which was filled out for a ‘Greek Orthodox Church’.

The Ukrainian Catholics appealed the latest ruling at a devastating cost; they not only lost the appeal but were also ordered to pay all costs of the appeal. Many people left the congregation to avoid paying their share of the court costs, leaving approximately half of the original members. It was reported that some remaining members sold their land to help pay their portion.

Current Star-Peno Church Treasurer Allan Borys reflected on what happened next.

“Mikola Tychkowsky (church member) donated a total of eight acres for another church to be built just a half mile south of here,” he said. “The sec-

ond church was built, and it burnt in 1922. The land that he had given for the second church, they gave back to Mr. Tychkowsky and he gave a little bit more land here where they built the third church. This is a third church built here.”

According to reports, many suspected arson in the destruction of the second church but there was never any evidence to support the claim. Its construction was completed in 1911 before being destroyed by the fire in 1922.

Several items survived the fire however, including a dome cross. The cross is displayed in the present church which was constructed in 1927 and blessed by Bishop Basil Ladyka.

“The church was painted by Peter Lipinski. He was one of the renowned church painters. He painted quite a few churches in this area,” added Borys.

Some upgrades were added over the

years; a stone bell tower in 1949, a cross erected outside the entrance in 1954, and in 1970 the building was enlarged by extending the front porch, adding stairs and a choir loft.

Borys, 75, who grew up two miles north of the Star-Peno Church, said he has many wonderful memories of the church and feels proud of the church and its history.

“It's an accomplishment that we were able to follow up on what our parents, grandparents, great grandparents started and keep it up and keep it going until now,” he said. “It’s an accomplishment that we are still able to do it. And a lot of the people that are here are people whose parents and grandparents started the church, and they came back, lived in the area and are still part of the congregation.”

Andrew councillor proposes putting new life into village mini-golf

BY JANA SEMENIUK Village of Andrew Councillor Tammy Pickett, also owner of the Andrew Hotel, proposed extensive renovations in the neighbourhood of $30,000 to the Andrew Mini-Golf facility located across the street from her business, during the July 27 council meeting.

Originally built by the Andrew Lions Club several years ago, Pickett said she understood the facility was handed over to the Village when a lack of volunteers forced the club to forfeit it.

She has leased the mini-golf facility from the Village since June 2020 for one dollar as an extension of her hotel, agreeing to take on the licensing, insurance, utility charges, and operate the property knowing it would not be a profitable entity. However, due to challenges around the COVID-19 pandemic, Pickett said she could not utilize it to its full potential before her lease expired this past June.

“There have been

RUZYCKI, JOHN RICHARD January 5, 1950 July 21, 2022

John Richard Ruzycki of Lamont, Alberta passed away on Thursday, July 21, 2022 at the age of 72 years after a courageous battle with lung cancer.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Sadie; children Tammy (Morris Plowman) of Lamont, son Peter (Teresa Campbell) of Beaumont, and son Billie (Elisha Menard) of Tofield, and 9 grandchildren, Alyssa, Ethan, Brendan, Breanna,

many expenses we have endured with very little income, “she said.

“However, we still are willing to give back to our village. And we are determined to have this recreation area operating to its full potential within our community.”

Pickett is asking the Village for permission to renovate the facility in addition to granting her a longer lease to see her plans to fruition.

“In efforts to do this, we were looking at signing into a new lease of a minimum of five years, and we would even look up to 10 years mainly because if we're going to be putting thousands of dollars into fixing it. We don't want to fix it and in

two years time it is taken away,” she said. “We need to have the time to at least recoup back and get right back into the black. (I’m looking for) the flexibility to renovate the building and grounds to a more modern and functioning facility.”

Pickett listed her plans which included increasing the electrical service from 50 amp to 200 amp to accommodate outdoor music, update lighting to LED with possible spotlights for night golfing, build a concession window to serve through the gazebo, in addition to modernizing and upgrading the horseshoe pit.

Opinion This movement takes the cake for stupidity

BY JOHN MATHER Protests take many strange forms. For the most part I have no problem with peaceful protests or protests which cause some disruptions, but then dissipate before major issues occur.

I don’t like protests which are illegal. Railway blockades for example; or destructive ones such as wrecking equipment on legal pipeline projects or laying down in roadways disrupting people who have no involvement in your cause from getting to their daily jobs.

Now, I know depending on who’s in power in the various halls of government around the world, the perpetrators of various types of protest get away scot free from their often law-breaking protests.

Some such as Steven Guilbeault even rise to become cabinet ministers in our ridiculous government in Ottawa.

Others, such as a diminutive Metis woman from Medicine Hat, are incarcerated on country-wide warrants for mischief for the reason of organizing a protest convoy against pandemic restrictions she felt were wrongly put in place.

But there is a new group out there now.

These brave warriors of social justice are fighting climate change one tire at a time.

And totally anonymously!

The group, formed in England, is called Tyre Extinguishers and they have migrated to Canada, starting in B.C.... where else?

The modus operandi of Tyre Extinguishers is to bravely sneak up on your parked SUV in the still of the night and let the air out of the tires.

They leave a leaflet on the windshield stating they have done this to save the climate and the world.

In part, the leaflet from these deranged morons reads, “We have deflated one or more of your tires.

You’ll be angry, but don’t take it personally. It’s not you. It’s your car. We did this because driving around urban areas in your massive vehicle has huge consequences for others.

“That’s why we have taken this action. You will have no difficulty getting around without your gas guzzler, with walking, cycling or public transport.”

CONTINUED

CONTINUED They go on to state “driving a hybrid or electric ... these are still polluting, dangerous, and cause congestion. See more on our website.

So take that Justin, Steven et al and your great reset.

That website, by the way, is www.tyreextinguishers.co m They ask that people send comments, media requests and death threats to tyreextinguishers@riseup.net Now these people by their own admission will remain anonymous, in the shadows.

Why? Because what they are doing is totally illegal!

They say on the web site they won’t target vehicles with handicapped stickers.

On their treatise on how to deflate tires they do boldly state: “Avoid: Cars clearly used for people with disabilities, traders’ cars (even if they’re large) minibuses and normal-sized cars.”

This group of misfits goes on to lash out at govern-

ments for doing nothing, adding the International Energy Agency researchers were shocked in 2019 to find that SUVs are the secondlargest cause of the global rise in carbon dioxide emissions over the past decade – more than shipping, aviation, heavy industry and even trucks.

Thirty-four vehicles in Victoria and Oak Bay were targeted recently, and these fools actually say proudly they plan to expand to other cities across the west.

“We expect there to be action in Vancouver soon,” they said. “The beauty of the action is that it is leaderless and so anyone can take part, anywhere.”

The group’s Twitter account states it is a “worldwide direct action environmental group with the goal of eliminating SUVs from urban areas.”

Do they care if someone in a home has a medical issue and has to be rushed to the hospital only to find a flat

tire is preventing this and leading possibly to death?

Do they care that a person who has to rush off to work may be stalled with a flat tire costing them a contract or a sale?

Obviously not.

And what will our justice system do if these people are caught?

Probably slap them with a small fine for vandalism and say don’t do it again.

If these imbeciles are actually able to rise up as a movement, I expect to see a surge in vigilante action taken against them.

Our society is getting fed up with protestors breaking the law and getting away with it.

If these Tyre Extinguishers spread and start a lot of disruption by flattening tires, I expect the communities affected won’t take it sitting down.

Tyre Extinguishers beware. You will extinguish at your own peril!

FROM WHERE I SIT: No Longer an Option

BY HAZEL ANAKA This week will be a patchwork of unrelated thoughts…so don’t get whiplash.

On Saturday, we took another baby step forward with our landscaping plans when we had a custom-made planter delivered. The west side of our house which faces the road has a wide overhang. When I was younger and more foolish, I thought I could actually grow something there. Between the overhang and the blazing sun, it was nearly impossible to grow anything there without spending the best years of my life dragging a rubber garden hose to water there almost daily. During the construction phase, I had a reprieve from all gardening.

Now, with the sidewalks and new steps in, it was an unsightly area.

Enter Allen Dubyk. I’d heard through an Edmonton guy that his wife had ordered a planter bed for his wife’s veggie garden from Allen. What followed was a series of phone calls, texts with photos, measurements, consultations with Roy, and finally an order. Unlike Cecile’s vegetable bed which had been treated

with some oil to make it food safe, I wanted no oil, no stain, no varnish, no ongoing maintenance.

I wanted the cedar planking to silver naturally on its own over time. I didn’t want legs.

The overall size ended up being two feet wide by twelve feet long. It butts nicely up to the landing, has one edge sitting on the edge of the sidewalk, covers the connection between the siding and the parging, and ends just before the corner of the house. Allen even factored in the height difference because all good sidewalks slope gradually away from the house for proper drainage.

It will still need a bit of work by Roy. Because there will never be soil or live plantings in it, I need a structure in it that will allow me to put seasonal ‘silks’ into it securely. I thought stapling some of that small square wire mesh onto the upright supports inside would be the cat’s meow. It would be rot-proof and easier that fitting plywood with a million holes drilled into it. After the festival, I can begin in

earnest finding all the greenery and florals I already have, then buying what I don’t to create an attractive, luscious, fool-the-eye display.

Earlier this year I filled two tall planters (also under the roof overhang) with silk flowers and I fooled some bees. It looks good and solved a problem.

The saga of the canceled credit card continues. We have not yet received our ‘expedited’ new cards. I borrowed a different one of Roy’s and found that neither the PIN nor tapping worked. Luckily, I had cash in my wallet as purchase after purchase was declined.

You may be wondering why I needed to shop at all at this time. I’m glad you asked. Our phone handset for the landline has been acting up. You could have a ringing, fully-charged phone in your hand and not be able to answer. Hello, hello. This is not good when Canada Revenue scammers and festivalgoers need to talk to me.

So, off I go to buy a new phone set. Roy insists we maintain a landline as

long as he’s on council, though ninety-five percent of ratepayer calls are to his cell number.

For far too long now, my cell phone has been acting up too. I think I told you about the calls that never come through…like when Roy got stuck in the field with the tractor and needed to be picked up.

Umpteen texts from him that day also never appeared. Last weekend, I got a text a good twenty-four hours after it had been sent. Who knows which calls and texts have never appeared.

So…I step into Best Buy convinced that my iPhone 8 wants to grow up to be a big boy iPhone

11, 12, whatever. The guy there says if those are the only problems you’re experiencing, it’s probably your phone’s carrier problem; in our case Telus. A new sim card will often fix the problem so go to a Telus store.

At the Telus store, they attempt a ‘hard reset’ several times and no go. I ask about the sim card solution. Sim cards cost twenty-one dollars and are non-returnable and we’d don’t think that’ll help. Sounds like a hardware problem to us.

I get the entire lowdown on the iPhone 13 Pro which just happens to be on sale, dontcha know. I see no way around not getting a new

phone and wonder if Roy will upgrade too.

But I’ve got no working credit card!!

This technology stuff is so frustrating and of course, chooses to act up at the most inopportune times. Though, if I’m totally honest, the warning signs have been appearing for some time.

I just didn’t connect the dots. I guess, I’m old school. I try to get the most life out of whatever I have; I resist being one of those gotta-have-thelatest-greatest-whatever people.

But I surrender. As soon as I have a working credit card, I’m getting a new phone. Holding out is no longer an option, from where I sit.

Farmers see hemp results in field and plant tour

BY JOHN MATHER Two busloads of farmers gathered at the Canadian Rockies Hemp’s nearly operational decortication plant in Bruderheim July 27 to see the plant up close and then view crops grown in various soil conditions around Lamont County.

“After three years we’re really excited to show you what we are all about here,” said Canadian Rockies Hemp CAO Aaron Barr, greeting the more than 100 farmers and spectators who took part in the tour.

“After as painful as it’s been through the pandemic, war or whatever you want to call it as you can see we’ve got equipment installed and it is nearly ready to go operational.”

Barr was joined by Ag. Operations Manager Cam Parsons and Chief Operating Officer Spencer Tighe.

Barr explained decortication was basically separating the inside of the hemp stalk from the outside.

“Like peeling a banana, that is essentially decortication.”

Hemp stalks are brought into the facility and then are separated. The outside, he said, is separated from the woody inner core producing hurd, and dust is also produced.

Those are the three elements the company produces, hurd, dust and the outer fibre which is then packaged and sent to outside buyers across North America where it is turned into a variety of products from construction materials, to cloth, to auto parts and pet blankets.

“We’ve developed a complete supply chain by adapting technologies that are used in other parts of the world, “ Barr explained. “It’s is not new worldwide, but it is new to North America.”

He said the company has constructed two decortication lines, one developed from England which takes the bale of hemp from the bale opener to the final cleaning line. The second line is a custom line built by Canadian Rockies Hemp and it does long fibre

decortication.

“At the end of the day we have a wider range of input materials we can accept.”

He said there was a large variety of markets they were supplying to, but most of the markets were outside Alberta.

He thanked the province for putting together the Innotech Alberta program in Vegreville which does research in hemp production and processing.

“We’ve adapted what they’ve learned into what you see here today.”

Tighe added they have a continuous flowthrough process at the Bruderheim facility.

When asked, they said the production won’t initially be a 24/7 operation.

“We’ll be starting with a five day eight hour a day shift,” said Tighe.

“Once we’re through the commissioning period we’ll move to a sevenday a week 13-hour shift.

Once we’ve ramped up and have full confidence in the line, we’ll go to a 24-hour a day shift.”

The facility is constructed to allow for processing 25,000 acres of hemp per year, but with the initial two lines it will have a smaller capacity as,“We get our feet wet.”

Plans are to add two more decortication lines eventually. The company is also hoping to get into some processing which could result in the construction of an additional facility.

Barr said growing hemp in Alberta has a huge environmental advantage because of the longer growing season.

“We can grow more in a shorter window which allows us to out compete our competitors in the U.S.” He said 6,000 acres had been contracted for 2022 but in 2023 he expected to contract 20,000 acres of hemp.

Each decortication line goes through about six to eight hemp bales per hour, so Barr said that creates the need for a good supply of raw bales of hemp.

Barr stated processing will take place year round because with Alberta’’s climate bale

storage can be kept outdoors.

“It’s not a food or medical product so there’s no degradation of the product.

We’ve decorticated bales that have been six years old.”

He said good quality feedstock is important.

Barr said once processing starts the bale pile at the Bruderheim will be a lot less. But he said they would plan on adding a lean-to with a crane to keep some bales in drier conditions so the production line would always be producing.

On the field tour, Cam Parsons explained the

first field was seeded May 4 and harvesting will start this week.

The company has also patented a new sickle mower which cuts the 10 - 12 foot high hemp stalks into three pieces which makes for easier baling.

The crops dry for two weeks after cutting. It is turned once during the drying process.

Parson said if they try to bale a 10-foot stalk there is a tendency to wrap around the baler, so cutting into three more manageable stalks is a good thing.

The bus tour visited

three fields, one grown in good healthy soil, one of a rougher grade of ground and the third field was grown in sandy scrub land near the

North Saskatchewan River. In all the fields the crop was very healthy and reached heights of more than eight to 10 feet.

Crowds on the hemp tour look over fields grown in moderate conditions.

Town of Mundare raises camping fees at MRC

BY JOHN MATHER Mundare Council, at its Aug. 2 regular council meeting, raised the fees to MRC Campground daily from $30 to $35.

The summer weekly rates went up from $125 to $150 and summer monthly from $500 to $550, and winter weekly rates from $155 to $180.

Monthly winter rates were hiked from $625 to $675.

Councillor Irene Talaga asked how the rates compared to other area campgrounds and Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Colin Zyla said he wasn’t really sure.

He did indicate the Lamont campground had shut down following the retirement of the owners.

Zyla pointed out at the MRC the campers tended to be more long term.

Councillor Rick Patrie felt the rates were comparable to other areas.

“The only thing we really lack is showers,” said Talaga.

Council agreed power had gone up, and then passed the bylaw in three readings.

CAO Zyla reported he had finally had a conversation with CN regarding Mundare building a sidewalk along 50 Street south of 50 Avenue to Highway 15, which would include the CN railway crossing.

The total cost will be $200,000 which will be covered by grants. The cost also included crosswalk lights at Highway 15.

Councillor Talaga wondered if they could leave the crossing lights off the project for this year, but Council felt it was a safety concern and Zyla said crossing lights would only cost $20,000.

He added they would be solar powered so

there would be no wiring costs at the intersection.

Talaga felt the project was expensive, but council admitted costs were high right now.

Council moved the sidewalk project to be approved and it was carried.

Council discussed putting a permanent dog off-leash park at the Victory Park area.

Zyla said he had measured a couple of areas at the park, utilizing the existing ball diamond fence and costs could be from $23,000 and for labour and material $7,000. In a second area he said costs would be $17,000 installed and materials would be $500.

Zyla said he chose the areas he measured where people walked but it could be placed anywhere.

Mayor Cheryl Calinoiu asked if the neighbours had been consulted.

“Do they want dogs walking right next to their houses?” she asked.

Zyla said to do a decent size it would cost $20,000 to $25,000.

Councillor Talaga said benches could be placed in the areas.

Councillor Rick Patrie felt the council should take a tour of the area.

Zyla said all he wanted to know currently was if the council wanted to proceed so he could put something into the budget for 2023.

“I don’t know how big you want it, I just need to know if you want to proceed,” he said.

Council agreed to go and look at the area, but they all agreed to put the park expenditure into the next year’s budget.

Council passed a motion to budget for the dog run in the 2023 budget. The run will

replace the temporary dog run which had been located alongside the CN tracks for the past year and a half.

The Town’s electronic sign came up for discussion and Zyla told council it should be placed near the reservoir because there were too many complications trying to put the sign at the 53 Street traffic circle.

Council agreed and passed a motion to that effect.

The three-month pilot program has been completed for the stop signs at 50 Street and 53

H E L P

Avenue.

Council passed a motion to make the fourway stop sign permanent.

Much more discussion took place regarding the stop signs at 50 Avenue and 50 Street at the traffic circle. Councillor Rick Patrie felt the signs there should be permanent but Mayor Cheryl Calinoiu disagreed.

“There’s a lot of confusion there,” she said.

Councillor Talaga felt the stop signs should be removed from the traffic circle also.

“They were put there when we were going to place the electronic signs there,” she said. “That’s not going to happen now so why keep the stop signs?”

Patrie said concerns about traffic raised at a recent public meeting reflected concerns prior to the electronic sign going up so should council now ignore those complaints.

“We put it up because there were concerns. So have those concerns magically disappeared?” he asked.

Currently there is a temporary two-way stop at the traffic circle.

Council felt they could ask the bylaw enforcement officer to watch the area to see if there were problems with the stop signs doing their job of stopping traffic travelling east and west along 50 Avenue.

Councillor Glen Rozumniak said people still had concerns so he felt the two-way stop signs should remain.

Local band films a music video in Bruderheim

BY JANA SEMENIUK Local psychedelic punk rock band, the Knot No Howz, gathered with more than 30 volunteers to film a music video for their original song ‘Mustang Ride’ Aug. 6 in Bruderheim.

The Knot No Howz, made up of lead singer Noreen Hurst, her husband and bass player Kris, drummer Wes Retzlaff and guitar player Jake Hubbard, formed after joking around as an air band at a Halloween party in 2017.

Hurst said the song ‘Mustang Ride’ was written in 2018 and is all about having fun.

“The band, we kind of wrote this one together.

We all like cool cars and, we like going to shows to see your friends play. So that's what the song was kind of about is just going to pick up your friends. Gonna go see a show, you know, just have a good time,” she said.

Hurst added that her band has pooled their money together from

their shows and t-shirt sales to fund recording their music. This past Jan., they recorded a split-vinyl record with another band from Calgary, Iron Tusk.

“They have three songs on one side, and we have three songs on the other. So, we're the B side, and it's totally fine,” she said. “The demand for vinyl is back.”

The song ‘Mustang Ride’ was featured on The Bear’s Red White and New last Sept., and Hurst added that the band is hoping to sell their records to fund their next project, a CD. In terms of the video, Hurst said a watch party is planned for Bruderheim once the video is edited and finished by Dave Berman with Got A Printer Productions.

Berman, who began his video production business in 2018, got in touch with Hurst after his girlfriend Crystal told him about her new favorite band, the Knot No Howz.

“I had already filmed and interviewed a couple of bands in Medicine Hat, and I was working in the garage when Crystal came running out and said ‘This is who you have to interview now!,’” he said with a laugh. “She said ‘this is my favourite band’ and I had no choice in the matter.”

Berman said he and the band hit it off and have become good friends since then.

“Noreen and the rest of the crew have been really supporting us and we've been trying to do the same,” he said.

Berman added that he loves the song ‘Mustang Ride’ and had a vision for the video soon after he heard it.

“I love the song. I love all of their songs. I think I maybe listened to the song twice. And I was like, I know exactly what I want,” he said, describing the video as a mini movie complete with cars and motorcycles racing simultaneously.

“I was pretty nervous

about the driving scene as we had a dozen cars and a dozen motorcycles all trying to be coordinated,” he said. “This was (my) first time having vehicles and driving up public streets. And it really helped that every single person who volunteered was absolutely incredible.”

The town of Bruderheim and local businesses were happy to help by allowing filming to take place on their property.

New residents offer council help in Mundare

BY JOHN MATHER Two newly relocated Mundare residents came to Mundare Council on Aug. 2 to introduce themselves to Council and offered to help where they could.

Bill and Dana Rankin moved to the community two months ago.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you all,” said Bill. “We’re new to town and we’re interested in being active in the community.”

He said they had been at the Seniors Centre and already knew how to

take part in floor curling and how to make perogies.

“I wanted to introduce myself also on a professional level,” said Rankin. “I’m a manufacturing engineer and I think there’s an opportunity to help the Town out sometimes.”

He said he could assist with the installation of the large entrance sign the Town is currently grappling with. In addition he said he could do some light engineering work and install small

service items such as wheelchair ramps, handrails or security measures if they were needed anywhere.

“Anything in the area of metal working or engineering I could possibly help with,” he said.

His wife Dana offers personal development courses and she will operate out of her home.

“And I love to volunteer,” she said.

She added since offering that information she’s had several offers of places where she

could volunteer.

Bill Rankin added he was in a band and they could be around and do gigs in the community.

Rankin said he also taught part time at NAIT in Edmonton and had a small business in the Lloydminster area.

When CAO Colin Zyla asked why they chose Mundare to move to, the couple stated they had lived in communities across Canada and the U.S. in the past several years.

“We wanted to be on

crossing.

“They have to contact CN in Vegreville,” said Zyla. “That is not a municipal road, so other than talking to CN about fixing it, there’s nothing we can do.”

He added, CN was responsible for the crossing.

The Town officials also brought the matter to the attention of Alberta Transportation Minister Ric McIvor when he travelled through the area recently.

At the Aug. 2 council meeting Zyla reported CN had told him crews would be at the crossing on Aug. 4 to make the necessary repairs.

The CN construction crews have been going

through the region recently making repairs to roads crossing in Bruderheim, in Lamont County, and in the industrial area of Fort Saskatchewan.

Crews arrived at the site on Aug. 4 and closed down Highway 855.

Heavy equipment moved in and the crossing was dug out in between the tracks.

Gravel was dumped in and spread and packed and then concrete block slabs were paced and packed into place to make the crossing much smoother.

The highway was reopened by late Thursday.

Air quality very good through second quarter

BY JOHN MATHER The Fort Air Partnership has released its air monitoring results showing that the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) in the Airshed was of low risk to health at least 98% of the time for April, May, and June.

There were zero hours of high or very high AQHI

rating for the calendar quarter.

There were 1952 hours monitored in the Bruderheim station and the risk level was low for 99.44 per cent of the time.

At the Elk Island Station 2,131 hours were monitored and the risk was low for 99.77 per cent of the time.

In Lamont County with 2,101 hours monitored low readings were reported 98.67 per cent of the time.

The Town of Lamont was monitored for 2156 hours and had a low risk reading for 99.44 per cent of the time.

CROSSING

BY JOHN MATHER The CN level crossing on Highway 855 in Mundare has finally been levelled out by CN work crews.

New blocks have been laid between the tracks, making the ride across the crossing much smoother for motorists.

For months the Town of Mundare has been receiving complaints from residents about how rough the crossing had been.

The issue had even come up for discussion at council as Mayor Cheryl Caliniou mentioned to CAO Colin Zyla that she had been hearing complaints about the bump as motorists went over the

“In the two months of living here I can say we’ve probably met more than 30 people and that’s more than any other place we’re ever lived.”

“It’s been nothing but pleasant surprises since we came here,” he said.

MUNDARE

After months of complaints Mundare CN crossing repaired

the east side of Edmonton,” he said. “We had tried Leduc but found it too big for our liking.

“As we searched we found a house to our liking and as we looked at it the neighbours came out and introduced themselves and we ended up spending quite a bit of time with them,”

A large piece of equipment spreads gravel across the level CN rail crossing in Mundare Aug. 4. as a crew member looks on. After leveling the gravel and packing it down, concrete slabs were put in place.

The crossing had been a point of many complaints over the past several months.

Woman charged with speeding on Highway 16, clocked at 193 km/h impaired with child in vehicle

BY JOHN MATHER Fort Saskatchewan RCMP stopped a woman driving erratically on Highway 16, Aug. 6.

Police observed the woman driving at 193 km/hr in a 110 km/hr zone near Highway 16 and Range Road 192 not

far from Elk Island National Park.

After stopping the vehicle police discovered the woman was also impaired by alcohol and had a child in the front seat with her.

The 47-year-old woman from Edmonton

was charged with speeding and summoned to mandatory court. She was also issued provincial administrative sanctions for impaired driving and criminally charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

FCSS full time summer programs are back

BY JANA SEMENIUK After a two-year COVID hiatus, and halftime programs last summer, Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) full time summer programming is finally back.

FCSS program leader 18-year-old Emma Kammer plans and runs weekly day camps for children with fellow PL Cody Onushko, 19. The pair were in St. Michael last week facilitating a weeklong day camp for ages four to six at the St. Michael Recreation Centre. Weekly camps run in different communities for all ages.

Kammer said she believes day camps help young children in their

development.

“They really love the park. We play a lot of tag; we have crafts that help them with their coordination and getting those skills built,” she said.

“We're mostly just here as a stepping stone to really help them gain their bearings with making friends and giving them positive examples to look up to and having fun outside of home.

(We) show them it's okay to be away from mom and dad. There will be other people there to support you.”

Kammer, who hopes to become an elementary school teacher, said running and planning the programs are helping her too.

“You really learn how to work with children and how children react with you. And it just offers a wide experience of what they're going through in their day to day life and how they like to do things,” she said.

“It really shows you who they are, and how it works in our county with all of our children. We get to hear so many stories from kids living on the farm. We've had kids come from out of town who are visiting, they'll come and join our camps. So we really get to hear a lot of different stories and interact with a lot of different children.”

Thanks to the kind and generous support of our community, we have been able to re-shingle the old train station so that we no longer have a leaky roof and damage being done to the interior. The Station Gallery and Arts Center board would like to thank all of the people who donated to our “Put a Lid on It” campaign during the past year. We raised almost $48,000, which doesn’t quite cover the cost of the project. For that reason, we have decided to continue our donation program and would sincerely appreciate any donations that continue to come in. We are also needing to upgrade the wheelchair access ramp, and do some other renovations on this old, but worthwhile building. As a nonprofit organization, we are continuously struggling to fund the upkeep of the station. Please know that your financial support means the difference between keeping the Station Art Gallery and Tea House open or having to close the doors. Donations can be e-transferred to vikingstationgallery@gmail.com , mailed to PO Box 997, Viking, AB Y0B4N0, or dropped off at the Tea House during the open season. Again, thank you for keeping the Viking history and heritage a priority in your lives. _______________________________ Thank you to the community of Viking for honouring the life of Marj Hanson.

And to all our dear family, friends & neighbours for your kindness throughout the years. A special thank you to Golden Valley Lutheran Church; Pastor Alvin Sorenson, Pastor Ron Chetney as well as Viking Funeral Services & Viking Royal Purple. Our best appreciation to Vialta Lodge, Home Care & Viking Extendicare staff.

Sincerely, The Hanson Family

Mundare public works improvements still ongoing

BY JOHN MATHER Newly minted public works foreman Sherri Clark gave her second report to Mundare Council Aug. 2, and the good news continues.

“My report seems to get thicker every month,” she quipped when passing her report to council.

“We’ve still been focusing on safety at our morning meetings,” she said. “I’ve had staff concentrate on making sure they stay hydrated as they work in the heat, make sure they wear their PPE and ensure wherever possible they work in a small group for safety.”

She added the staff had completed all their safety training programs including completing WHIMS courses online.

She said they had also covered workplace violence and harassment policies.

All fire extinguishers have been inspected in the community and all updated with new inspection placards.

Clark said she continues to learn the measurement programs for water and sewer readings which are taken on a daily basis.

“I’m finding that about

once a month I need to pull the floats at the north lift station and clean them, to keep the station running smoothly.”

She said she inspects the water tower on a daily basis and she completes all chlorine readings.

She said she was continuing to clean up at the various town parks including Ukrainia where grass was cut and trees that posed any dangers were removed.

She told Council after the last ball tournament they found people coming in to camp with large RVs were blowing the breaker panels at the park which she determined are no longer large enough to support the bigger mobile recreation vehicle power requirements.

“We’ve contracted with a company to upgrade the panels and we had a lamplight repaired at the same time.”

She added ongoing grass maintenance was also going on at Victory Park and the diamonds had been sprayed so there were no weeds.

She said no pets signs had been placed at Victory Park but

Councillor Irene Talaga said she still saw people walking their pets in the parks.

“Well, they’re pretty prominently placed,” said Clark. “I don’t know what else we can do.

People obviously aren’t paying attention to the signs.”

Clark said if council felt the signs had to be moved to different locations to let her know.

She reported there had been some vandalism at the sausage park with plants having been pulled out of the ground and garbage strewn around.

She said she and one of the parks staff had replanted the flowers and they were recovering and then they tidied the area.

Councillor Rick Patrie asked if she could spray some of the sidewalk cracks in certain areas of Whitetail and on some of the decorative sidewalks downtown for weeds.

“The downtown sidewalks are heaving a little, but that’s just because of weeds growing,” he said.

Clark agreed to look after that.

Patrie also pointed out a couple of areas in the town where some trees had to be removed.

The entire film was shot in approximately five hours.

Meanwhile, Hurst said she felt emotional once filming was complete and feels very proud of

her band.

“Just how it all came together. It's pretty magical. It's pretty awesome and incredible,” she said.

“We pulled it off and we did it.”

Council voted to move its council meeting for

Sept 20 up to Sept 19, to allow council to travel to Calgary for the Alberta Municipalities Association convention.

them. It was their volunteers that worked it,” she said.

Pickett reiterated what she understood to be the case, that the Lions forfeited the facility when they could no longer find volunteers to run it, and it hadn’t been open for a long time before she took it over.

“Do you know of anyone expressing an interest in taking it over?” asked Councillor Merwin Haight.

Dubitz asked the

Council if any of them have approached the seniors to see if they would be interested.

Mayor Barry Goertz suggested tabling the item until the Aug. council meeting to allow time for more information to be gathered.

While Pickett was excused from the vote, the three remaining councillors unanimously agreed.

The next council meeting is scheduled for Aug. 24 at 7 p.m.
