Before wrestling took over Mundare’s main street, and following the parade, youngsters were able to purchase cream-filled pies and throw them at volunteer firefighters whose faces were open behind full sized cutouts. Here a fireman grimaces as the cream-filled tort hits him with a glancing blow to his face. More fun from Mundare, please see Page 9.

So Premier Jason Kenney has decried Danielle Smith’s Sovereignty Act as “nuts” and stating it would make Alberta a “laughing stock.” So what does Kenney think of Alberta today? energy sector is handcuffed by Liberal policies on exporting, shipping, and pipelines, not to mention overzealous environmental controls.
The Ottawa elite are poised to make life incredibly difficult for our agricultural sect; first by foisting an unfair carbon tax on farmers, and now wanting to curtail the use of some fertilizers by 30 per cent - thereby cutting into the amount of agricultural production otherwise known as food our province can produce for a world market desperately seeking food supplies. No I guess we’re not a laughingstock, we’re just a ridiculed colony in the eyes of the Ottawa and Laurentian elites.

Kenney campaigned to join the PC and Wildrose parties into a unified political group that could defeat the NDP and take on the federal government for its policies designed to stymie Albertan development. Well he accomplished the joining of the two conservative parties. Unifying them, I’m not so sure. He destroyed the NDP in the following provincial election, but much of that was Rachel Notley’s ridiculous policies which made it easy for the electorate to toss her out. I expect either the old PC party or Wildrose could have accomplished this on their own... so despised was the Notley crew. Our Premier who stated his intention to resign a couple of months ago should have pulled the pin immediately. And he shouldn’t be wading into the debate among the UCP leadership hopefuls. Of them, only Smith has presented policies that can beHerdebated.Sovereignty Act and her stand on pandemic lockdowns and vaccination policies have stirred debate.

During an election those seeking votes campaign on making changes. But then they get elected and forget the changes.They’re drawing their huge salaries. They have their power in a pond they like, so they really don’t care that the public is still waiting for the promised changes. Smith’s policies promise distinct changes. Concrete changes.

BY HAZEL ANAKA
When it came to
In these dying days before Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival 2022 becomes a reality, life is harried around here. My life philosophy and time management practices propel me to do as much as humanly possible ahead of time. That, unfortunately is not possible when others are involved. You may have heard me say, over the years, that we all come into this world alone and we leave alone. That the only behaviour we have a prayer of controlling is our own. That we can only ever really answer for our own behaviour. We can’t answer for what our parents, spouse, coworkers, or kids do. So, for those matters and tasks within my sole control, I get them done early. The reason is selfevident. If they’re done, they’re done. They can’t ruin a good night’s sleep or prey on your mind when you should be doing other things or grow into an insurmountable mountain. The do-it-now tactic also prevents me, somewhat, from being at the mercy of those things and people I can’t control. It (usually) prevents mistakes or at the very least gives me time to discover and rectify them.
To come up with a Plan B. It prevents me from arriving anywhere late and the east, the moment the masterpiece comes off the printer, you realize…oh hell, I forgot such and such. That’s why there are often margin notes, arrows, and coloured pens involved. And don’t for a moment imagine that I don’t screw up, forget, make mistakes. The secret is (most of the time) I can recover and mitigate the impact because I have time to do so. I make lists. I use coloured pens and circle items. I tape post-its to my computer. I leave things in the porch or dropped on the floor so I literally have to trip over them to leave home without said object. This year has been a challenge from a planner’s perspective. A lot has happened since the last festival in 2019. Names have been forgotten, businesses have ceased to operate, papers have long since been filed and forgotten. What seemed like a logical way to pack away and store festival assets in 2019 becomes a treasure hunt in this week before the festival. Do glass items need to be run through the dishwasher? Should I be ironing tablecloths and fabric pieces? Where the hell did I put the coupons, souvenirs, cash box, signs? How well will the floor décor pieces I created fare during the trailer ride to Lamont?Bythe way, thanks Warren and Rae-Ann for the use of your utility trailer. It allows me a day or two to think through the best way to pack and load the items. Does this tote end up in the hall or the arena or our dressing room/staging area? Is it needed first thing Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon? Will volunteers know intuitively what I was thinking without having to explain everything? Between closing at 5:00 and 6:00 when we reopen for the Zabava….a mere hour later….it’s all hands on deck. Straighten and clean tables and chairs, add tablecloths, centrepieces, placemats. Post friendly but firm volunteers at the entrance. Be available to the emcee, the band, the performers, the caterer, the dignitaries for last minute questions. Lock myself into the hockey dressing room to throw on an outfit, change to uncomfortable shoes, and slap on some lipstick because it’s showThistime!year has also been a challenge because of co-hosting the event with UCC-APC. Our timelines and methods are different. We’ve added new elements this year that need that detailed vision, analysis, and follow-through that all take time the first time you do them. Consensus decisions take much longer. That said, I think it will be a wonderful weekend with added benefits for festival attendees. Now, it’s time to review those checklists, write some cheques, answer last minute calls and emails, write a speech, plan some outfits, get rid of this head cold and cough, treat a cold sore that threatens, and think in silence. Deal with the dizziness and nausea from some meds. Then, finally, try to convince myself I’ve done my best, from where I sit.

Canadian Prairie Pickers $$ $ $$ $ County resident wants speeds reduced in front of residences
BY JOHN MATHER Sada Gagnon, a resident who lives on Township Road 560 near Graymont Industries, appeared before Lamont County Council Aug. 9 to complain about heavily loaded trucks speeding on the road. “Im just curious if anyone knows how much these trucks weigh leaving Graymont?,” she asked council. “Fully loaded with a truck and trailer. They’re 138,000 pounds, so why anyone would want them to be allowed to drive down a dirt road at 80 kph is beyond me. “I mean they have a stopping distance of 200 metres. If a child, animal or anything gets in their way it’s gone. I want to know who will be held liable when those trucks kill somebody on that road.”She said she couldn’t understand why the 50 kph speed limit sign was removed from in front of herShehome.couldn’t understand why the truckers had to complete the last three kilometres of their trip to the plant from Highway 830 at 80 kph or Shefaster.said Graymont had worked with her and placed a sign suggesting 50 kph in front of her home as a courtesy to have the trucks slow down.She said the truckers don’t follow the speed limits on the roads. “It’s only good for about 60 kph at the best of time yet here it is posted at 80 kph. I know other County roads are that speed but how many are carrying these heavy loads down them seven days a week?” Gagnon explained it was dangerous for her and her neighbours' children. She added residents couldn’t sit outside because of the dust raised by the vehicles and, “I can’t even ride my horse down the road anymore.”Shesaid Graymont officials cooperated with her by removing the offending drivers from the site when they are caught speeding, but the County still posts the road at 80 kph. She said Graymont had put the slower speed signs up as a courtesy but she knew it couldn’t be enforced. But then those signs were removed.Thetrucks, she stated, were eventually going to kill someone and she would like the speed limit permanently reduced.Reeve David Diduck asked who had put up the speed signs, and Gagnon replied Graymont had put up the 50 kph signs as a courtesy. He then asked Peace Officer Derek Wright if there was a road use agreement between the County and Graymont. “We have the right to regulate speed on our roads in the County,” said Wright. “Trucks are supposed to go 60 kph but others can go 80 kph,” he Councillorsaid. Neil Woitas said there was no intention for the trucks to be going 80 kph. He said the road use agreements indicate they have to stay at 60 CAOkph.Peter Tarnawsky told Council staff had been asked to look into theHesituation.saidthere had been modified traffic signs put up and a councillor had expressed concerns and they had talked to Graymont about it. “I don’t think anyone in this room would be opposed to putting up the appropriate signs to control the speed but they can’t do this on their own. It’s a County decision and responsibility to put those signs up.” “If there's a desire to reduce speed along this stretch of road we’d be happy to put up the appropriate speed signs. “The issue here is people have been putting up signs illegally. In fact I think it might be an offence to remove the legitimate signs that are there.”Hesaid the speed limit has never been formally reduced along the stretch of road in question.
Diduck said the company that had the road use agreement with the County should also be responsible for maintaining dust control on the road and Gagnon said the plant was good at watering the road during hot“Theydays. send the water truck out several times a day, but as soon as the trucks speed by they churn it up and it’s dusty again.”Diduck suggested maybe discussing with the company that they oil the road in front of the properties. Application of calcium is not allowed in Division five.Wright said they had talked to Graymont and he said they had no problems with putting different materials on the road as a dust control. After Gagnon wrapped up the presentation, Diduck asked where Council should go with a Tarnawskydecision.said he felt speed signs should be placed that fit in with the road use agreement. Woitas suggested they be set back from the road so snowplows wouldn’t remove them during the winter.Hesaid the County could make the speed limit 60 kph past the residents and leave the remaining areas at the 80 kph as it is standard throughout the County. Council passed a motion to have administration reestablish the speed signs along Township Road 560 in accordance with the road use agreement and to discuss with Graymont an alternative to dust abatement.

“Emily’s Big Discovery is what it’s called,” she statesSeven-year-oldproudly. Holly said that math is her favourite subject and is also reading her own chapter book. “I’m on chapter five of Rainbow Rocks,” she said.According to the Fraser Institute, homeschooling has been steadily increasing in Alberta, rising from nearly 10,000 students in 2006 to nearly 15,000 in 2020. According to Alberta Education enrollment numbers, home schooling totals increased again to just over 24,000 students in 2021, excluding students who were schooling at home due to the COVID restrictions.Meanwhile, the Radcliffe family were not always in agreement over the best way to educate their children and sought information from a variety of sources before making their decision. Brianna said she spoke with several other home-schooling families in the Lamont County area as Jesse had reservations around the idea. “I thought she (Brianna) was crazy. What do you mean, our kids aren't going to go to school?” he said.
According to the PublicSchool Board Association of Alberta, the average funding per student Alberta school boards received in 2019/2020 was $10,400. Elk Island Public Schools received $10,000. Home schooling students are only eligible for approximately $850 per year to offset the cost of materials if they are supervised by a willing school authority and arranged by Sept. 30.
Lamont county home school facilitator is also a home schooled student
Jesse and his wife Brianna have been homeschooling their children Allison, 5, and Holly, 7, for the past two years.The girls speak with enthusiasm around new books they are reading, with five-year-old Allison particularly excited around reading her first chapter book.
BY JANA SEMENIUK While families in Lamont County are getting ready to shuffle their kids off to school Aug. 30, the Radcliffe family of Bruderheim have already started the year as part of a growing community of families who have chosen to take on the challenge of their children’s education through home schooling.
8 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, August 24, 2022 Allison, 5, (L) and Holly, 7, are excited to sit with their mom Brianna Radcliffe and dive into school work at home. The Radcliffe's, who have been home schooling since 2019, are part of a growing community of families who have chosen to home school their children.
“We get to school them (our children) the way we want is the biggest (benefit) to me,” said Jesse Radcliffe. “(We) Teach them things that we believe to be crucial for our children.”
Bruderheim family part of a growing community of home schoolers
“Many people who are homeschooling went to school themselves. So they just have a version of what education looks like. (They wonder) how am I going to do school at home?” she said. “It definitely allows you to, as a family, focus on what's important and create your own family goals and work towards those goals in every aspect including education.“The social element is a big concern for many people, because when you think of the comparison of a classroom setting, kids are interacting with a minimum of 30 students their age through the day and several teachers compared to just their family.” Brianna said they have socialization all figured out.“Socialization was his (Jesse’s) biggest concern. But we attend all the playgroups in the area, and the girls are in a dance program,“ she said. “I love that they can interact with babies, and they can interact with teenagers, and they can interact with kids their own age. They're not lumped into a specific group of kids that have to be their Maschmeyerfriends.”said families can choose to adhere to the Alberta Education Curriculum or create their own learning goals through their homeschooling board. While a typical in-school day encompasses learning over an approximate sixhour period of time Monday to Friday, home learning can take one to two hours per day which Brianna said is perfect for her family. “It’s family values and time for us. With Jesse's (work) schedule, he would have been about a month of not seeing the kids once they were in full time school. Just the way his schedule lined up with the rotating days off. He'd have gotten a couple hours in the evening with them on his days off. And that would be it. We wouldn't have had a full day off with him until a full month later, at least. So, this way we school around his schedule,” she said. Funding for students in public school is different than funding for a home-schooling student.
BY JANA SEMENIUK Lamont County resident Taylore Maschmeyer, 29, has been helping local families navigate the world of home schooling their children for the past three years through her role as a home school facilitator for Wisdom Home Schooling.Shesaid she enjoys her job and comes from a good place in supporting families with their choice; Maschmeyer, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in addition to an Education degree from the University of Alberta, is a homeschooled student. “I was homeschooled all the way from kindergarten to grade 12,” she said. “We were going to just do it for one or two years, and then it kind of turned into our whole history. So, I am the oldest in a family of four and my mom home educated us for 20 years total.”Maschmeyer said her family took part in sports and home school groups in Fort Saskatchewan while she was growing up, as well as a large community within their family’s church. She said that by connecting to other home school groups, she and her siblings experienced a variety of field trips while learning to work hard. Continued on Page 15

FIREFIGHTERSKICKOFF AGRI DAYS
When it came to wrestling in Mundare during Agri Days, Aug. 20, Canada Goose in the black decided to bring a weapon into the ring… and what better than Mundare Sausage. Alas, it did no good as the crowd favourite Kato (striped outfit) defeated the Goose and also disarmed him and whacked him with the sausage - much to the delight of the crowd.
The Mundare Fire Department got the town’s Agri Days underway Aug. 20 by hosting a pancake breakfast at the firehall. Here firefighters mingle and chat while others flip pancakes and scramble eggs for the hungry crowd that came out to enjoy the day.

WITHPANCAKEBREAKFAST
The class of 1982 gathered at Mundare’s Corner Pub Aug. 20 to mark the 40th anniversary of them leaving high school. News of the impromptu gathering quickly spread throughout social media, as invites brought former teachers and students together to reminisce about their days at Mundare High School.
Former Mundare students celebrate 40th grad anniversary A snapshot of the graduating class of 1982 who held their 40th reunion at Mundare’s Corner Pub, Aug. 20.
He said he chatted with students, some he hadn’t seen in years, and was able to catch up with them about what they were doing in their lives. “And then they said you know, ‘we’re just about 60-years-old.’ and I thought how old does that make me? “It was all part of yesterday’s fun.”
9 More fun from Mundare Agri Days CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
While Agri-Days in Mundare was well underway Aug. 19 and professional wrestling was rocking the main street, a small group gathered at the Corner Pub to mark the 40th anniversary of graduating from Mundare High School.“Wegraduated in 1982,” said organizer Fern Miller, whose maiden name was“There’sTompkins.about four or five of us who have remained close friends and we get together a few times a year,” she added.“Sowe decided it was 40 years this year so I sent out a quick email to people I still had contact with and it grew fromMillerthere.”said they decided to meet at the Corner Pub at 1 p.m. “and here we are.”She said there were former students from Edmonton, Sherwood Park and of course many who still live in the Mundare area. A late decision was made to invite some of the former teachers and Lois Zyla and Charlie Gargus were among those who came to the party. “I’m really surprised with the turnout,” she said. “I just emailed a couple of weeks ago and said it was during Agri Days so if anyone is in the area come on out. And there’s a good sized“Thegroup.”reunion was a last minute thing,” said Gargus, the next day.“I was supposed to be out with the fire department doing activities. I thought… out with the department in the heat or a cool pub with a drink… and the reunion won hands down.”
Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny answered the question.
BY JANA SEMENIUK
Podoborozny recalled a situation in town where a mainline water break left residents without water for a significant amount of time.
New program in Bruderheim to support vulnerable people during an emergency Town of Lamont employee Abby Foulds conducted water testing for chlorine at the Lamont Spray Park on Aug. 19.
“The piece of advice we got from them was to really first tailor it down to the people for who an event would be a life-ordeath situation, because those are the people that we have the most regrets about not serving at the end of the day,” she said. “So, we took their advice and narrowed it down to just a small list of critically vulnerable residents.”Tofurther explain the program, Kroening used a fabricated example of a woman with type two diabetes living in town who relies on a home hemo dialysis machine that uses water and electricity. Because the woman would have registered for the Rural Assist program, she would receive an alert during an emergency such as an unexpected power outage with a four-part notification of the event, its impact and how to stay safe. A staff member would contact the woman directly and arrange for a back up generator for her machine and prioritize her address for the resumption of power.
A new program in Bruderheim, aimed at identifying and supporting vulnerable residents who may need extra assistance in the event of an emergency, was presented during the Aug. 17 regular meeting of town council by local organization Resilient Rurals.Resilient Rurals founder and Director Jill Yanich said the program, called Rural Assist, is a pilot project starting with a survey in Bruderhiem to gather data on vulnerable residents. She said the results of the pilot will be shared with the other two communities who partner with Resilient Rurals; Gibbons and Lamont.Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch asked how the information gathered from the survey would be kept Claireconfidential.Kroening, lead project assistant, explained that the survey is in two parts, with part one being anonymous and part two containing more sensitive information.“It'sfully protected. We'll have a float statement at the bottom. And then information gathered regarding critical vulnerabilities, any personal information of that nature will be stored in the database and only available to certain Bruderheim staff,” she said.Kroening went on to explain that when they came up with the idea of identifying vulnerable individuals for support in an emergency, they went to the regional municipality of Wood Buffalo for advice because they created a vulnerable person’s registry after the Fort Mac fires in 2016.
“Overall, our program theory that we're working with here is that by establishing a connection between Bruderheim residents to live with these critical vulnerabilities to both online resources and relevant staff, we are improving the Town's ability to ensure safety among our vulnerable populations during service disruptions,” said KroeningMayor Karl Hauch questioned whether continuous monitoring meant that Bruderheim staff would be responsible to connect with residents at any time of day or night.
“As the Director of Emergency Management, if there was something to happen, like a water break, or a severe weather event, absolutely, we'd be waking up the most vulnerable and making sure that they were aware of the situation,” she said.

“We had some people reach out to us that are on medical equipment that require water. And that's where we started looking at, Alberta Health knows who they are, but we don't know who they are in the middle of the night,” she said. “So, I think this is pretty exciting and to reach out and it's not just the elderly. There's a lot of people that are reliant onInit.”terms of cost for the project, Podoborozny said the survey will establish if there is a need for the program and if so, resources such as grant applications can be“There'ssought. no sense running out and buying six generators, if there's no need,” she said. “We want to get a baseline of what we actually need in our community. Right now, we have two generators, so we'd be able to support two people in need.”The program survey launched Aug. 18 and will be evaluated at the end of January.
BY JOHN MATHER A small crowd gathered in hot, humid conditions Aug. 21 as the Mary Immaculate Hospital Foundation in Mundare held an outdoor open house to celebrate its recent successes accomplished just prior to and during two years of pandemic restrictions. Mary Immaculate Foundation Chair Sylvia Zacharkiw told the crowd the Foundation had invested in the MV1 van which could carry one person in a wheelchair and three ambulatory people with their walkers at the back. The cost for it raised through a capital campaign and private donations was $68,000. In 2018, Zacharkiw said it was decided a larger van was needed to transport the residents and complements instead of the existing smaller unit. So with another fundraising campaign they raised $163,000 for the new vehicle.“Well,” she added. “Along came the bus and we had no garage because our existing garage was too small. So came this new garage. And it cost us $143,000 to construct.”“Soyoucan see there’s a lot of money sitting here.”

It all depends on the investigation,” he said. “So the couple of frauds, they could be, ‘Hey listen, someone called me and they wanted money over the phone’ and it sounded like the call came from somewhere else. So that might be something we might just deal with on the LaRocquephone.”went on to say that follow up on calls to complainants is something he is focused on.“One of the things that I'm demanding of our people is that I want them to make contact with our complainants,” he said. “So, if someone's calling in, we should be calling them back and saying, ‘Hey, listen, we went and looked for that vehicle that you said might be an impaired driver’, or we did this or we did that, so that they should know that they're getting a call back and their call was received.”

LaRocque added that in terms of statistics, from July 1 to the first week in Aug., 34 more calls came in from Bruderheim.“Soagain,that's typical in terms of the numbers jumping in the summer months, people are moving around, there's lots more traffic and complaints,” he said.
Artist Lorraine Shulba stands in front of the mural she was commissioned to paint on the new Mary Immaculate Hospital garage in Mundare. The garage will house the new larger bus the Mary Immaculate Foundation purchased last year. The mural, completed just a week ago, was unveiled to the community during the Mary Immaculate Open House Aug. 21.
She said the residents didn’t enjoy seeing the large white building so the foundation decided to commission a mural for the side of the building.“We contracted the services of Lorraine Shulba and told her we wanted the mural to show the history of the facility.”Withthat Shulba was presented with a plant of appreciation and a cookbook for her efforts.

“We would loosely structure our days and still did lots of activities. I did piano lessons. So to do that all the way to high school, you had to be very diligent. So that was kind of a word that was a family goal. We had to be diligent in our time, diligent in our schooling, and diligent in our part-time jobs. Because of the flexibility in our days, we also got to experience different part time jobs at an early age,” she Maschmeyersaid. added that her high school learning was partly self directed and the first structured tests she ever took were in university. Meanwhile, as a mom of two young children, Maschmeyer said she is looking forward to continuing her family’s tradition of home schooling.“We do (plan on home schooling our children),” she said. “I will be a second-generation home schooler.” JOHN MATHER maintenance of the roads and then community policing and rural crime prevention.Thebottom priorities were; animal control (beaver, rodents and wild boar), private winter maintenance including regular driveway flags, seniors’ driveway flags and flags for the medically fragile; and the last priority for residents was celebrating the County’s history and its identity.Inapress release, the County stated the purpose of the survey was to be used as “a starting point for discussions related to future budget and service level planning. The feedback and comments from this survey are considered an important part of the public engagement process – as it relates directly to Lamont County’s Public Participation policy the goal of which is responsible, transparent and well-informed decisionmaking.”
