New phone app helps keep Lamont County realtors safe

BY JOHN MATHER When Fort Saskatchewan realtor Jennifer Pollack went to show a property in Redwater recently, dogs from a neighbouring residence attacked her biting her arm and ripping her clothes.

She also cracked her phone, dropped during the attack.

It points out some of dangers faced by realtors as they go out to show properties.

Now, the Alberta Real Estate Association has unveiled an app designed to keep realtors safer as they work in unfamiliar situations.“ The LifeLine Response app is an important tool in improving realtor safety,” said Alberta Real Estate Association chair Jennifer Gilbert.

“Our association has contracted with Lifeline Response to be able to provide this tool to all of our 2,500 realtors in the province at no additional costs to their current membership dues,” added Gilbert.

The app, she states is also available to the general public for a nominal cost.

She said the Association had done research into a variety of safety apps for their realtors and chose Lifeline not

only because it reaches out to first responders, but realtors can develop their own network where they can program the system to reached out to friends and family should an accident occur.

“It’s fast and friendly. It’s a great tool,” she said. “We’re quite often working in situations in an unfamiliar territory or with unfamiliar people.

The app lets us use a thumbprint to call out for help or realtors can set a timing function for the system to send a call out.”

With the thumbprint the realtor would keep their thumb on the phone screen and if contact is broken then a call for help is sent out. The realtor can also choose to set the timer so if they don’t call in after 30-minutes or what time limit they have set, then a call would automatically be sent out.

“I can think of many scenarios where the system could work,” said Gilbert.

“If a person is working alone at, say their cottage, and they have an accident … if they don’t report in then an alarm is sent out.”

Mundare realtor Shannon Kowal has installed the app, but hasn’t used it yet.

“I’m playing with it and getting used to it,“ she said. “I do feel better having it.”

She said prior to having the app, she always left the address of where she was going with her assistant or husband and when she was going.

“They would be my contact, but with this app it’s just touching a button and you can get word out to get help.”

She said the app is more user friendly and quicker, so it alerts all those people on your list who can help you.”

Kowal added she’s never felt unsafe in showing any rural properties.

“You take precautions but in the back of your mind you always know there’s the potential for problems.”

AREA chairman Gilbert said while many focus on female safety, she looks at a bigger picture where people can be affected regardless of gender.

“You look at stories of people meeting to sell a vehicle over the internet and they’re attacked,” she said. “The Lifeline app can get help quickly.”

She said the Association moving forward to give realtors the app was based on proactive thinking, not a situation based on any particular incident.

Realtor Shannon Kowal from Mundare “Now, we had had some incidents, but we always promote realtor awareness of safety through a variety of podcasts, where we work with police departments and victim’s service units to make our realtors aware of dangers that are out there.”

She adds realtors should always inform colleagues or friends when they are going to a showing.

“This helps in a worse case scenario,” she said. “It has GPS tracking and can pinpoint your immediate locations.”

She said since its introduction more than 800 realtors across the province have taken advantage of loading the app.

Kowal agrees the real estate association does a good job in informing its members of how to take appropriate precautions as they work in rural areas.

Canadian Rockies Hemp fate rests with SDAB

BY JOHN MATHER A decision on the fate of the Canadian Rockies Hemp decortation plant development in Bruderheim is now in the hands of the Lamont County Subdivision and Development Appeal Board with a verdict expected

by August 26 at the latest.

An appeal to the board by Bruderheim residents Ron and Shawna Ewasiuk was held Aug. 9 in the Lamont County building.

In their appeal letter, the Ewasiuks stated they were appealing the

issuance of the development permit for the project citing “a lack of planning, coordination and consultation, and the overall lack of support we have received to date from the Town of Bruderheim.”

They added that several studies should be completed including hydro geological reports, and Alberta government and municipal traffic impact assessment, and and Alberta government noise and light pollution assessment, and the Ewasiuks should be able to access the studies prior to their con-

sideration or approval of acceptance.”

In concluding their letter, they asked all ground work and construction at the site cease until the approvals were completed.

The town of Bruderheim, represented by town planner, Jane Dauphinee, contracted town engineer, Mike Dowhun, and Sherry Cote director of planning and legislative services for the town.

Dauphinee started on behalf of Bruderheim by stating she felt the appeal was not an appealable situation.

“It’s the town’s opinion the development permit was issued for extensive agricultural use, which is a permitted use in the urban reserve district,” she stated. “No relaxation of the land use bylaw was granted.”

She wondered, because of this, whether the board had the jurisdiction to hear the appeal. She went on to cite sections of the Alberta Municipal Act that lists some of the grounds for appeal.

BY JANA SEMENIUK An Edmonton woman has been missing since she was last captured on security video footage at a Bruderheim gas station.

Security footage was shown to include a darkhaired woman pulling up to the Bruderheim Esso gas station in a white Cadillac and entering the store.

Police later confirmed she was the missing woman, 32-year old Patricia Pangracs.

Although Pangracs was last seen June 8, she was not reported missing until July 8.

On August 10, as reported by Global news, police and five K-9 units were focusing their search on four parcels of land located around the intersection of Range

Road 233 and Township Road 514 in Strathcona County.

Although the search did not uncover Pangracs’ whereabouts, police indicated they have received additional information.

As described by police, Pangracs is 5’5” and 130 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen wearing dark pants, blue heeled boots, a dark zippered jacket and a white long-sleeved shirt. She was carrying a dark purse, a phone and sunglasses.

Anyone with information about Pangracs’ disappearance is asked to call EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-8477.Crime Stoppers tips can also be submitted online.

Lamont County day trips: EINP MAUREEN SULLIVAN In our series on staycations don't forget the national park in our own backyard. Elk Island National Park is well known for being the home of bison and for the conservation of both woodland and plains buffalo, but there is so much more to see.

Dawn or dusk is the best time to see animal activity in the park. Walk some of the trails and you can see elk, moose, white tailed deers, mule deers, wolves, coyote, beaver, black bear and of course bison. Bison and coyote can often be seen along the parkway, moose and waterfowl are most active during rainy weather.

The park is home to more than 42 species of mammals, 250 species of birds, five species of amphibians, one reptile species, and two species of fish.

There are more than 75 kilometres (kms) of trails in the park, something for everyone to try. The Living Waters

Boardwalk is accessible to all and at 400 metres is the easiest walk, staring just behind the Astotin Theatre.

Watch for beaver and waterfowl and various aquatic life.

The flowing trails takes one through aspen, birch and spruce stands and have spots with panoramic views. Taking one to two hours to hike they are less than four kms in length. In order of least to most challenging is the Beaver Pond Trail, Lakeview Trail and Amisk Wuche Trail.

For a slightly longer walk on relatively flat terrain is the Shoreline Trail around Astotin Lake, and through rolling hills on the Simmons Trail, both should take about three to four hours to walk.

For those in better shape the Hayburger Trail is flat for 11.6 kms, Shirley Lake Trail is rolling hills for 10.9 kms, Moss Lake Trail is a great place to see birds in its 12.6 kms of rolling hills.

Wood Bison Trail at 15.6 kms, is the only trail

south of Hwy 16, and through rolling hills spot wood bison. Taiwayik Trail at 15.1 kms , and has a bench commemorating the 1984 visit of Saint John Paul II near the trailhead. Look for plains bison and waterfowl on these four to five hour walks.

There are five red chairs scattered throughout the park, placed in areas with great views.

Look for them throughout the park and take a picture.

The park has many free drop-in programs throughout the summer, including bison back stage tours, pemmican making, pond-dipping, stargazing, bird watching and campfire programs. These are all led by staff at Parks Canada.

Visitors can pick up a free discovery kit, themed backpacks loaded with binoculars, animal identification guides, pond dipping kits, star charts, GPS units and other items to go geocaching, explore nature or stargaze.

Check at the Astotin Theatre or Visitor Information to pick one up.

A nine hole golf course designed by Stanley Thompson blends nature and recreation, so enjoy a round and then grab refreshments at the clubhouse. Rent a canoe or kayak, or bring one and explore the park from water.

Of course one can stay in the park overnight by camping, with personal gear or try an equipped campsite already set up with a tent, propane stove, camp chairs and sleeping pads. Like to rough it?, hike 4 kms into the Oster Lake Backcountry Campground. Glamping more your style, then try the oTentik, an A-frame tent and cabin with lights and beds.

The park is opened year round and has activities every month.

Opinion Common denominators of mass murder There are really only a couple of common denominators that factor into mass murders like the back-to-back slaughters in the USA over the past few weeks. Although there are never tragedies that politicians can’t twist in favour of their own personal agendas, mass shootings have less to do race, religion, nationality, or politics than they do with “hate.”

Hate knows no national boundaries. Hate is not uncommon to any race, country, religion, or political belief.

People are always looking to pin the blame of these crimes on some labelled group, most recently white supremacy and gun owners. But the truth is, if you took away both there would surely be more mass murders because what hasn’t been taken away is the hate.

Note the differences in the following mass killings: The Garissa University attack in Kenya in 2015 had 148 murdered by Al-Shabaab, a Muslim group murdering mostly Christians. That group was also responsible for killing 67 in the Westgate Shopping Mall murders in 2013 in Kenya.

9/11/2001 Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda killed 3,000 indescriminantly during four coordinated attacks in the US. The Peshawar School Massacre in Pakistan was committed by a Chechen, three Arabs and two Afghans killing 149. Islamic terrorism was also to blame for the 2015 Paris attacks killing 130, among many others.

A South Korean man killed 56 people in 1982 when he went on a rampage through several villages in Uiryeong County, South Korea.

An American with roots in South Korea was responsible for killing 32 in the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. A caucasian was responsible for the Orlando nightclub shootings, Las Vegas music festival carnage, and Sandy Hook Elementary ambush, among many others.

In Beijing, China, in 1994, a People’s Liberation Army officer from China went on a rampage killing 28. Also in 1994 a Ugandan shot and killed 26 people attending a wedding party in his country.

In 2010 in Chihuahua, Mexico at least 19 people were lined up and executed at a drug rehabilitation clinic by a fellow Mexican.

These are some of the worst examples, but the list goes on and on. They occur in countries with and without gun control. They happen with the use of handguns, assault rifles, bombs, vehicles and even airplanes.

Now consider the worse world dictators, all of which used many creative methods to exude hate: China’s Mao Tse Tung killed 70 million; Austrian/German Adolf Hitler killed 48 million (Holocaust and war); Russian Joseph Stalin killed 20 million; Indonesia’s Suharto killed over eight million; Iraq’s Saddam Hussein killed two million; Mongolian Genghis Khan killed a couple million (in a much less populated world); Pol Pot of Cambodia killed 1.5 million; Russian Leonid Brezhnev killed a million; Rwanda’s Jean Kambanda killed nearly a million; Ethiopian Mengistu Haile Mariam killed half a million; Italian Benito Mussolini was responsible for 430,000 deaths; and Uganda’s Idi Amin killed over 200,000.

Yes hate is most definitely one common denominator.

The other is - male.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mussolini more a man of the left than of the right When I was a university student, a history professor said the first kind words I’d ever heard about Benito Mussolini (1883-1945). The professor was, of course, referring to Mussolini’s early incarnation as a socialist.

With this year marking the centenary of the fascist movement’s founding, it’s worth pondering the professor’s observation. In fact, one can go further and ask whether historian Paul Johnson was right in describing fascism as no more or less than “a Marxist heresy.”

The teenage Mussolini characterized himself as a socialist and got involved in socialist organizations. When he left Italy for a sojourn in Switzerland at the age of 19, he carried a nickel medallion of Karl Marx in his pocket.

Back home a couple of years later, Mussolini developed a reputation for left-wing radicalism, got himself arrested and showed a taste for the idea of politically-directed violence.

Revolution was in the air and he was well up for it.

By 1912, Mussolini was in the leadership circle of Italy’s Socialist Party and editing their newspaper Avanti! He was very effective at the job, doubling circulation and personally becoming a widely read radical socialist journalist.

What’s purported to be Mussolini’s rightward shift began in 1914, when he switched his position with respect to the First World War. Initially opposed to Italian involvement, he changed his mind, resigned his editorial slot, founded his own newspaper and was expelled from the Socialist Party.

Various factors have been suggested as motivators.

One is that he was caught up in the nationalist fervour surrounding the war. Another is that he was mindful of Marx’s aphorism that social revolution usually follows war and thus saw it as an enabler for what he wanted politically.

But speaking for himself at the time, Mussolini was clear on his ideology: “I am and shall remain a socialist and my convictions will never change!

They are bred into my very bones.”

And looking at the early fascist program, one can see massive overlaps with a socialist agenda circa early 20th century. Among other things, there was to be a minimum wage, an eight-hour workday, a progressive tax on capital, expropriation of uncultivated lands, and universal suffrage.

Once ensconced in power, there was much of the same.

To quote political commentator Jonah Goldberg, “Mussolini did not move fascism from left to right; he moved it from socialist to populist.” In the process, the Italy he strove to create had much more in common with authoritarian socialism than with free markets and laissez-faire economics.

Lamont and Strathcona team up for farm safety day Agricultural Fieldman Eleniuk says we all share the roads, safety of families main concern

BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County agricultural officials and their counterparts from Strathcona are teaming up to host a farm safety conference at the Moyer

Recreation Centre in Josephburg, Aug. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The main feature of the day will allow farmers to bring their farm vehicles in for a complete

free of charge inspection

Two additional vehicles among the stolen in Bruderheim thefts

BY JOHN MATHER There was a little more than a stolen truck involved when RCMP suggested people stay indoors, and used a helicopter to search of suspects in Bruderheim a few weeks ago.

Corporal Jennifer Brown of the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment stated she had spoken with the lead investigator and provided an update to the story.

She added a media release would be put out to local media outlets, but by press time nothing had been received.

She said the day began when the Town of Bruderheim work truck was stolen from the Karol Maschmeyer Arena at about 9 a.m.

“We got the report and then we got a report of a vehicle on fire in Elk Island National Park,” said Brown. “So our members headed out to

that call and they learned and containment was set two suspects had been up around the area, but seen leaving from that because of the time delay scene on a quad.” in getting to the area, She stated the quad RCMP weren’t sure turned out to be stolen where the suspects may and after the suspects left have fled.

“We’ll have snacks in the morning and afternoons plus a hot lunch and some door prizes,” said Lamont County Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniuk.

“What we want to tailor this to is having the producers come out and have their stock trailers, their grain trucks or their semis checked over by the enforcement people to ensure they’re safe.”

“At the end of the day we all share the same

roads and we don’t want to see any of our families or neighbours get hurt,” he added.

Eleniuk stated enforcement people will be on site giving all vehicles safety checks looking at brakes, tires, or checking to see if the lights are working. He said the inspections would be totally complimentary.

“Other issues we’ll be talking about are club root, new transport codes, how to keep debris away from work areas, fire smart, and how to maintain your shelter belt.”

He added they would discuss how to properly

Letter Continued from Page 4 There was a shorter work week, the introduction of family allowances and the launching of public works schemes.

Free time was also enriched by government provision or facilitation of sporting events, concerts and holidays.

As far as the broader economy was concerned, Mussolini’s fascists were big time interventionists, developing “a huge, state-led industrial sector, which was especially important in banking, steel, shipping, armaments and the supply of hydroelectricity.” Adam Smith’s invisible hand wasn’t the altar at which they worshipped.

Then there’s the famous Mussolini declaration from 1928. By now well into his dictatorship

AA Meetings Thursdays at 8:00 pm period, he had this to say: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

In other words, the interests of the collective – as determined by the fascist state – would always take precedence over the rights and interests of the individual.

Whether that viewpoint is compatible with the term right-wing is a matter of opinion. But if right-wing is synonymous with political leaders like Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and thinkers like Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, then calling fascism rightwing is a misnomer.

Whatever one thinks of them, the likes of Reagan, Thatcher, Hayek and Friedman weren’t evangelists for the allpowerful state. Quite the

contrary.

A parting thought.

While we’ve come to think of Mussolini as a bumbling buffoon, that’s not how he was always perceived.

Smart, a voracious reader and possessed of a flair for the theatrical, Mussolini struck many contemporaries as the man of action that difficult times called for.

Even figures like Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt once had friendly things to say.

And let’s not forget the bare-chested images of Mussolini cutting wheat as he led Italy’s quest for agricultural self-sufficiency.

Forty years on, Fidel Castro was in Cuba’s sugar fields with the cameras in tow. You might call it emulating the master.

George Campbell honoured after a life of giving to Bruderheim community MAUREEN SULLIVAN For George Campbell, it's not what a community can do for you but what you can do for the community.

Campbell was surprised at the Communities in Bloom Dinner on July 24, when Bruderheim Agricultural Society Director Bob Cote honoured him with a lifetime membership and a plaque to commemorate his many years of service to the group.

Campbell, who is also a Councillor for the Town of Bruderheim, has been a Ag member since the society was founded in 1972.

"I was at the first sod breaking ceremony at the Ag grounds 30 years ago.

We had teams with walking plows to make the grounds into something," said Campbell.

"We received a grant of $75,000 from the Minister of Agriculture at the time.

"We developed that park twice, the first time and then it was sold.

Then we bought it back and developed it into what it is today," he said of the Ag Society.

Today the grounds have a track that is used for the Heartland Ag

George Campbell was surprised with a lifetime membership to the Bruderheim Agricultural Society by Director Bob Cote on July 24. Campbell has been a member of the Ag Society since it began in 1972. A plaque with a picture of Campbell and his team of horses in the last Canada Day parade will be installed on the bench in front of Walker School.

Days, featuring a chuck wagon and chariot event.

The track was also used for the recent Model T races.

The Society also owns and operates the Walker School, which they bought from the Town. It has been turned into a museum, named a historical site and is home to the different community organizations like the Lions Club, stated Campbell.

Reminiscing about one of the greatest achievements of the Bruderhiem Ag Society, according to

Need a New Truck?

Get the ride YOU WANT! You find it, We finance it...

12345 Any make!

Any model!

Anywhere!

Campbell, was the funding and building the Bruderheim Agricultural Arena, later renamed the Karol Maschmeyer Arena in 2016, to honour a foundng member.

"We built that arena for $50,000.

We raised $25,000 in the community and got a matching grant. It was a great achievement in those days. We convinced the residents to buy lifetime memberships to the arena. The arena was just a shell and the Ag Society and town built everything inside," he said.

Campbell is very proud of all the work the Ag Society has done over the years, which includes developing the Bruderheim Campgrounds and partnering with others in the community to promote events and initiatives in Bruderheim and surrounding areas. I am happy to see us co-partnering with the town and residents in the Communities in Bloom, he remarked.

"I was also a charter member of the Minor Sports Association. After 50 years of living in the same town, I should have done something," he laughed.

The plaque which shows him with his team of horses and a wagon, as a float for the Bruderheim Agricultural Society, last Canada Day will be featured on the back of the bench in front of Walker School, which faces Queen Street.

"It was very emotional and I was very honoured to have the lifetime membership bestowed on me," Campbell said humbly.

Being part of the Ag Society has given him greater insight into what the community needs are, he expressed.

"For every hour you give to the community, the community benefits by two," claims

Campbell. Fitting words for someone who has spent a lifetime giving to his community.

10 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, August 14, 2019

Appeal Continued from Front Cote then listed timelines of dealing with Canadian Rockies Hemp prior to the issuance of the development permit.

She mentioned the town received the appropriate paperwork from the company outlining their plans.

The town went further than it had to, she reported, by also hosting a public open house.

“We did this because it was the first time a development of this size was coming to the town and they wanted to hear from the public.”

She added changes were made to the development conditions following input from the residents.

Residents were informed of the open house through it being posted on the web site of the town and through flyers being inserted with water bills.

“The town is not required to host the open house as a standard requirement for agricultural use,” added Dauphinee. “A development permit was

required, but the town went above and beyond with public notification and public input for this development.”

“It is our understanding and both the developer and the town have been quite transparent about this… that the development might intensify in the future where the addition of a rail spur might take place.”

Dauphinee added if this occurred it would change the scope of the project from an agricultural zone to a light industrial area and an amendment of the land use bylaw would have to take place. At that time additional plans, public input, and studies would have to be done.

Dowhun then outlined the conditions the town had required for the permits to be issued.

He stated runoff of water had been closely looked at, and after consulting with the company they agreed to build storm retention ponds which would meet a one in one hundred year storm requirement, which was above what was necessary in the

area.

Others conditions were also laid out by the town and met by the developer, he added.

He further stated Alberta Transportation had approved the road issues at the site. Noise and light issues had been detailed by the developer and were covered prior the the development permit being issued.

Sylvia Holowach, a member of the SDAB panel, asked several questions regarding the development and suggested the plans submitted weren’t the same as what was being developed.

Dauphinee replied the town had supplied all the preliminary drawings and original plans, along with the finalized plans created after public input to show the town had done its due diligence in approving the permits for the project.

“Normally we wouldn’t supply most of the information you have because it isn’t necessary under an approved use in the urban reserve district,” she said.

12 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, August 14, 2019

Lamont Nursing School Alumni searching for memorabilia for provincial archives MAUREEN SULLIVAN Still active 47 years after the last class graduated, the members of the Alumni Association of the Lamont Public Hospital and the Archer Memorial Hospital Schools of Nursing are looking for memorabilia from those school days.

A new project that the Alumni is working on is the transfer of the Alumni Archives to the Alberta Provincal

Archives. If any member of the public has School of Nursing Alumni history, that they want to donate to these archives, it would be much appreciated, says Alumni membership.

Lamont Public Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1912 and operated for 60 years until its closure in 1972.

A total of 595 nurses graduated from the program over the years.

Currently, they are only looking for documents or photo memorabilia. Contact a member of the Executive regarding donations, if you can help them out.

The Alumni have contributed to the Town of Lamont in many ways, and given support to the community, not only in the Hospital, but in many other organizations.

Recently a leaf was donated

by the Alumni Association, to the Town of Lamont Remembrance tree, in celebration of 88 years of community support given.

The present executive of the Alumni Association are President Grace Stach, Vice President Sheila Wilcsak, Treasurer Elaine Hlushak, Secretary Joan Klaczek, and Social Convener Brenda Mayer.

FROM WHERE I SIT

BY HAZEL ANAKA If you’re disgusted, angry, worried, disappointed, or some combination of all of the above, I get it. All of those adjectives describe my reaction to this summer’s - and I use that term loosely - weather.

Those people who are thinking about their tans or annual vacation or weekends at the lake are mightily ticked off.

Certainly, a valid position but maybe a first world problem? Serious gardeners are dismayed by how the wet conditions are affecting the quality and yield of their

labour. I get that. Even I have a tomato plant this year and not one, but two micro-sized raised garden beds with peas, carrots, beets, lettuce, basil. By the way, I love getting back into gardening on a scale I can manage after about a thirtyyear moratorium! But again, a ‘crop failure’ won’t kill me.

As the festival coordinator for Babas and Borshch, I’m worried and disappointed that all the work I and others have invested in making the 7th annual festival a stand out will be undermined by another weekend of lousy weather. I know we go ‘rain or shine’ but does everyone else? Are people going to herd the family into the old SUV, drive for half an hour or more and take a chance on another unsettled day? I’m hoping the hardy, the curious, the loyal, the good sports among us do just

that. I hope, that like me, they prefer cooler to sizzling hot weather. After all, we can always add a layer but there’s a limit to how much anyone can or should peel off.

As a farmer’s wife, it’s even scarier. How many more years in a row can farmers’ livelihoods be threatened by this crappy, wet, cold weather?

How will livestock producers feed their animals this winter if no one can seem to make any dry hay this summer? How many grain farmers are still dealing with the financial, emotional, labour horrors of heated, spoiled, crusty grain from last year’s crop year? Or are just hoping to unload the product at a sharply discounted price? And by that, I mean less than half price.

Were anyone’s input costs less than half last year? Didn’t think so.

How can anyone drop their swaths on ground

that is saturated and hope it’ll dry enough to go through a combine without doing expensive harm to the machinery?

If canola is still blooming in mid-August when will it be ready to cut and ripen the three or four weeks it needs in the swath? If there is standing water in sprayer tracks how can heavy combines and loaded trucks maneuver through the fields?

And if, by some miracle, harvest is a dream, who exactly is buying our product? Not the Chinese. And who can predict what the wild card south of us will say or do from moment to moment.

The success or failure of tourism events, farming, and other weatherdependant businesses have spill-over effects on the financial well-being of individuals and communities. That dominoes into the larger com-

munity because less disposable income means fewer meals out, fewer purchases, fewer vacations, less entertainment spending. Anyone can survive the occasional threat but when it per-

sists year after year you have to wonder.

Remember a few years back when congregations were praying for rain? I hope there’s a prayer for sun, from where I sit.

Appeal Continued from Page 10 When the Ewasiuks spoke before the SDAB panel, Shawna Ewasiuk told them it was the lack of information being given to them regarding the project being built across the street from them which was their main concern.

“We understand there are bylaws and rules, the town says they are followed,” she said. “But as long time residents we found this process and our relationship with the town and Canadian Rockies Hemp not to be what we would have expected.”

“The impact of this project is significant to us,” she added. “We feel information is not forthcoming to us and feel the permitting has been han-

dled in a way in which the scope of the project hasn’t been as forthcoming as it could have been.

We’re not opposed to the development, but we haven’t been heard.”

Ron Ewasiuk offered photos of flooding in their backyard and along the street in front of their home showing flooding, but some of the photos were several years old.

“We’ve seen water in the past and managed it well,” he said. “To date I’ve not had water in the basement, but I’m not sure how long this might last.”

Ewasiuk said the family had dealt with water since they moved in and not had any risks of flooding. He added they had increased their flood insurance from $15,000 to $100,000.

He told the board the company did plan to increase the size of the

business and no information about that had been forthcoming.

The board pointed out it appeared they weren’t concerned about the development right now, but further down the road.

Ewasiuk did state their biggest concerns were with water.

“When we had a private meeting with the town and Canadian Rockies Hemp some of these concerns were addressed,” he said.

They had had an engineering report done on their own and it was introduced as evidence.

He did agree the company had brought pumps to help ease flooding during the recent heavy rains and added they were going to be installing major ponds to contain future runoff.

Police remain in search of the accomplices but she admits police have come to a dead end at this point. Police will not be releasing any names.

Brown had no estimate of damage on the town truck and Bruderheim chief administrative officer, Patty Podoborozny later added the town had not yet heard back from their insurers with any damage estimates.

The board also heard from a few individuals,
