Celebration of a Century for Mary Homenick
Michelle Pinon Editor
Mary Homenick doesn’t look her age. She doesn’t act her age either. That’s a great thing otherwise Mary wouldn’t have been dancing at her 100th birthday party this past Friday. You could see the sparkle in her eyes and smile on her face as she took a bit of a twirl with the aid of Effie Lakusta and ..... following a formal celebration at Mary Immaculate Extended Car e in Mundar e on Aug. 14. Also by her side wer e daughters Olga Dubuc and Eileen Leffler. Also in attendance for the milestone occasion were Sylvie and Dennis Dubuc, Albert Shulha and Donna Keeler, as well fellow residents, staff and other well wishers. Described as witty, smart and sharp, the centenari-
an didn’t want a lot of praise lavished on her , but it couldn’t be helped as ther e were many things to say about this incr edible woman. “Mom said to keep it short. We always listened to her ...right Olga?” said sister Eileen. Mary was the seventh child born to Magdalene and Harry Bilyk. “Appar ently grandma wanted to baptize her as ‘Slawka’, but the priest said no, this is the feast day of the Virgin Mary, so she should be called Mary. And so it was.” Mary was one of 10 childr en, and while not much is known about her early life, Eileen said Mary loved to sing, read and ride horses. She attended Myroslow School, and wanted to continue on after Grade 8, but couldn’t as she was needed to help out at home. She also attended Borschiw Church with her family. When Mary was 18 she married Joseph Homenick, and they began farming in the Camr ose area. “We later made a few moves, first to Holden, then to
Strome, where we owned a r estaurant, and then to Vegreville, where we owned the V egreville Cafe. Later Dad worked in the lumber yar d and Mom cooked and cater ed in a number of r estaurants,” added Eileen. Mary was very involved with the Holy T rinity Church in Vegreville. She was presented with a long service award from the UCWL for over 50 years of service. As well she was on the executive for the building of St. Anne’s Manor, and spent many years working around the altar , cleaning, taking car e of linens, arranging flowers, and was always ther e whenever there was a need, noted Eileen. She decided to move to Father Filas Manor around six years ago, and later moved to Marry Immaculate. Members of the hospital auxiliary presented gifts. special blessings were bestowed upon her by Chaplin .....and Sister Martha, and she was pr esented with a framed certificate from Pope Francis.

Annexation request to come before Lamont County council Michelle Pinon Editor
An annexation request from the Town of Bruderheim is expected to come befor e Lamont County council today. The request is one of several agenda items that will be discussed during the Aug. 19 continuation meeting. The Town of Br uderheim’s annexation request includes nine par cels of land, eight of which are south of the community. Back on May 21, Bruderheim council unanimously passed a resolution stating, “That council proceeds with the annexation pr ocess for the lands to the east of the existing town boundaries and to the south of the existing town boundaries maintaining the east and west boundary line.” The formal r equest was received on May 29, and stated, “In pr evious communications between the Town of Bruderheim and Lamont County, it was indicated that Lamont County would be in favour of an additional annexation of the land by the Town of Bruderheim. The T own of Bruderheim wishes to undertake this endeavor
at this time.” Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch confirmed that the T own of Bruderheim is working through the pr ocess of annexation of some Lamont County lands, and as of right now it would be pr emature to discuss any further specific details.” Hauch went on to say , “I can r eport that the Town of Br uderheim is very committed to planning for the long term. Annexation of these lands is not just about growth. Some of the impetus for this annexation is to ensur e that the town will have dir ect input into what development occurs in close proximity to the town, i.e. oil wells, pipelines, etc.” In the request for decision, planning and development officer Marie Kurylow, stated that: “The land ar ea being requested was in the annexation application of 2008. The Town of Bruderheim Municipal Development Plan (MDP) that was approved in 2013 identified the lands being requested for futur e annexation.” Just over a month ago the Town of Bruderheim

submitted the application to the Capital Region Board (CRB), and the board approved the application. No appeals were received by the CRB. As to any recommended action, Kurylow outlined two options to council: 1. “Request the purpose of annexation as set out in 116(2)(b) of the Municipal Government Act (MGA)and pr oposals for consulting with the public about the pr oposed annexation, and meeting with the owners of the land to be annexed and keeping them informed about the progress of the negotiations as set out in 1 16(2) (c)(i)& (ii). 2. “Set up a meeting with the Town of Bruderheim as required under 117(1) of the Municipal Government Act.”

From Where I Sit: Both Scary and Sad
By Hazel Anaka
Who needs a travel alarm clock when she has a smart phone? Who needs a Rolodex, quaint little pursesized address book or the five-pound Yellow Pages when everyone who’s anyone can be Googled? Who needs two-way radios when everyone and his brother have a cell phone? These are just some of the thoughts rattling around my head as I look to simplify my life. Bulletin: I’m no early adopter of virtually anything. I’m not a twenty-something. I do love stuf f. I hang onto things
because they cost good money and someday I may need/use it again. Or so I hope. And yet. I find myself thinking mor e and more like my minimalist son who gets rid of stuf f often, quickly, dispassionately and with zero sentimentality. And yet. Ther e are relapses in my behavior. My Cobra twoway radios got nary a sniff at our spring garage sale. I’m holding that piece of merchandise back fr om future sales and will use them as top quality walkie-talkies when Grady comes to the farm. Guaranteed they’ll work better than the toy Mater and Lightning McQueen ones I picked up at someone else’s g-sale. What techno-savvy little boy wouldn’t want to try those out in the back forty? You’d think that in this part of r ural Alberta with an aging population there would still be people who use a land line telephone and want the convenience of

Carving board with scary metal prongs to keep that Christmas turkey from slip sliding away? Brate DVD movies? Five piece tapestry Oscar de la Renta luggage set including garment bag? Let me guess: If you want to tape something you get both sound and visuals if you use your phone? Kids don’t use lined refill sheets anymor e because everything is digital? Turkey, what turkey...we’re planning to be in Mexico or Phoenix or parts unknown? Okay, I never should have bought those lousy movies in the first place; even big name stars make stinkers sometimes.

Swept up in the Tide of History
August 4th 1914: Britain declared war on Germany . The declaration included the colonies and Dominions (Canada, Australia and New Zealand). They too were at war with Imperial Germany and the AustroHungarian Empire. Canada, as well as other dominions, was a nation of immigrants. Initially, most had come fr om the British Isles, but the necessity of the settlement of the west had led to a steady str eam of immigrants. Many came from Austria-Hungary, Russia and Germany. They had been invited to Canada to take advantage of the Dominion Lands Act to acquire a homestead of 160 acres. Hard-working and industrious, they played an essential role in the development of Western Canada. With the outbreak of war in Europe, these new citizens were suddenly regarded with suspicion. It seemed to matter little that most were citizens and in many cases leading figur es in their communities. The Canadian government took measures to deal with the “enemy aliens” with the War Measures Act, August 22nd and the Or der-inCouncil, October 28th 1914. The British government had advised against such actions, certain that those from Austria-Hungary and Germany represented no threat to the Canadian Government. However, the Government of Canada required all “enemy aliens” to register with the authorities, and a considerable number were interned in camps. Over 80,000 enemy aliens were registered by the government. Those of German and Austrian origin had to register with the R.N.W.M.P (Royal North West Mounted Police). Of the 80, 000 enemy aliens who were registered, over
8,000 were interned in camps set up acr oss Canada. The majority of those interned wer e Ukrainians from AustriaHungary. The second largest group was German; approximately 2000 wer e interned in camps acr oss Canada. For the internees, their only crime was their birthplace. The Gr eat War was known as ‘the war to save democracy.’ Ironically, the Canadian government violated the basic democratic rights of many of its new citizens. My Great-Grand father was a case in point. Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Kerstein left Germany in 1891 and came to Canada. A successful farmer and stonemason, he helped establish one of the first schools in northern Alberta, laying the foundation and serving as a boar d member for many years. By 1905, he was a naturalized citizen. But in 1914, this mattered not at all. He was an “enemy alien”, stripped of his citizenship, detained and transported to a camp in Vernon, British Columbia. The unveiling of commemorative plaques across Canada August 22nd of this year marks the 100th anniversary of the W ar Measures Act. Much of the credit for this event must go to the Ukrainian Civil Liberties Association for taking the lead with this project.

Opinion
Letter: Female hockey player finally finds acceptance in Vegreville Being a girl is tough. Especially being a girl playing boys hockey . Not only do you need to be able to compete with them, but you need to be on a team that accepts you as a girl. And that for me was the most difficult thing to find. For the 11 years that I've been playing hockey , it was only this year I found a team wher e the parents, coaches, and most importantly, the players all accept me. I started out in Mundare at the age of three and things wer e mediocre. Nothing was really unenjoyable. Of course at that age girls have “cooties” and boys are “dumb.” But all in all boys and girls wer e considered equal. But then they grow up and despise women in “mens” sports. And I learned that in Lamont.
Kerry Anderson Publisher
Lamont was by far undeniably the worst few years of me playing hockey. Immediately remarks against my gender started spewing out of all their mouths. Getting beaked down all throughout the year , I still managed to keep my mind on the hockey . However, even that got interfered with when one year we had a body checking drill wher e the last man standing win basically. Well it came down to just me and the “tough guy” on the team when I did eventually knock him over and little did I r ealize, this guy was furious. Then in the next drill when the guy got the chance he hit me as hard as he could taking his elbow and piecing it into my ribs. My own teammate has just broken my rib, and he was happy.
Michelle Pinon Editor
This is contemptible, ridiculous, and my fr ustration continued to grow as long as I stayed there. Probably the worst thing about all of this is because I’m a girl these guys treated me the way they did. Not only wer e the players outrageous, but playing as a second year I was in tier five and didn’t belong ther e. At this point it wasn’t even hockey; kids wer e just learning how to skate. That year made a major impact on my game because I didn’t get to improve or even learn anything. Finally, the best hockey related thing that has happened to me was leaving Lamont and going to Vegreville. Firstly were tryouts and instantly I could tell this place was amazing. I am yet to hear a single remark against my gen-

der and I doubt I ever will here. The gr oup of boys, coaches and parents of the team I am on are all flawless, genuinely kind-hearted people with friendly smiles all the time. I have learned so much this year and am outrageously fortunate to be on this team. I am greatly thankful for everything that I have been rewarded with this year. So far my experience in Vegreville has been expediential and for the first time in 11 years I can finally say I’m part of the big “family” there. I can now play hockey for hockey and not have to worry about being a girl. I like my hockey team more than anything else, and that I believe is how it should be. Annie Antoniuk

Basilian Fathers Museum to host Internment Ceremony Michelle Pinon Editor
Fedor Antoniuk was one of thousands of Canadians of Ukrainian descendant who wer e branded “enemy aliens” by the Canadian government and was taken against his will by police and carted of f to an internment camp in Banff. The Chipman area farmer and labour er’s harrowing experience is retold in the Pride In Progress history book and one of Antoniuk’s descendants will be sharing his story publicly during a special cer emony at the Basilian Fathers Museum in Mundare on Friday, August 22. At exactly 1 1 a.m., a plaque commemorating
the 100th anniversary of Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914-1920 will be unveiled in the lobby of the museum. Karen Lemiski, curator of the museum, is hoping for a good turn out and that people from all over Lamont County and the entire east central r egion will be on hand for the event. The event, which will also include a program, luncheon and concert, will be an important day in Canadian history . Lemiski says it will be an opportunity to move beyond that part of history, and tell a little bit about Ukrainian Canadian history. While it is not a “glamourous or fun topic”; Lemiski says, it is a story
that has to be told. Also, helping to tell the story will be Alberta folk singer Maria Dunn who will be performing her composition “In the Shadow of the Rockies,” with lyrics derived fr om the Diary of the Castle Mountain Internment camp. After the cer emony a luncheon will be held at the Ukrainian National Hall, and advance tickets will be available at the museum prior to the event. There will also be a concert by the St. Nicholas Mandolin Ensemble. The performance, titled: “Strings through Struggles and Success,” will showcase well-known Ukrainian folk songs, narration, and images that portray the experiences of the
early pioneers in east central Alberta. Lemiski points out the event really has been a collaborative effort
between the museum, Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Parish and the T own of Mundare. “The plan was
put together as a gr oup and it came together so quickly,” added Lemiski.

Lamont chosen host community for cancer fundraising concert Michelle Pinon Editor
WHO? Adam Cripps. WHAT? Adamstock. A fundraising musical concert for 15-year -old Adam Cripps, who has been diagnosed with cancer, terminal stage 4 colon cancer. WHERE? The Lamont Recreation Grounds at 4844-48 Street. WHEN? Saturday, August 23 from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. WHY? To help raise funds for Adam’s family as they try to make the most out of the days they have left with him. Adam’s Army Fund has been set up to pr ovide funds for families in similar situations, and to that end, the Alberta Cancer Foundation is working with Adamstock to ensur e that vision becomes a reality, and the concert to continue to be an annual event. HOW? With the assistance of IDVIP Team, a great lineup of entertainers has been put together. Tama, a r ockabillyfolk band will kick-of f the event at 1 p.m. The group will be followed by country singer Olivia Wik. Also scheduled to appear are Rellik Urban (rock) and Savage Playground. The event will culminate with DH Music and Fireworks between 8 and 9 p.m. Brian Ho, founder of IDVIP Team, said, “W e threw the even last year to celebrate Adam’s courage and str ength as he battled cancer and as part of his 15th birthday party. It was to help make one of Adam’s dreams a r eality. Adam loves Boonstock and was unable to attend due to illness last year . That event helped raise funds for the family due to the financial burden of Tamara quitting work to be with Adam during his last days.” Ho went on to say, “We are hoping to have around 400 people at the event. “Last year , (the inaugural year), we reached between 250-300 people. There are no set

targets this year for fundraising due to the short window to or ganize and finalize everything. This year will set the goals for next year for attendance and fundraising for futur e years.” It is also important to point out that the T own of Lamont has donated its recreation grounds at no charge for the “all ages” family friendly event. There will be a minimum $5 mandatory donation to cover the costs of the event and ensure funds ar e raised for this worthy cause. The event will be liquor and drug free, and all guests ar e subject to search. There will be food vendors and portable washrooms on site for concert goers. Organizers also recommend concert goers car pool, dress for the weather as well as bring lawn chairs and blankets to sit on, sunscreen, hats, small backpacks, water , and cash.

home are pieces of handmade furniture, built lovingly by Albert over the years. The couple estimate ther e are around 30 pieces of furnitur e scattered throughout their home. All of the pieces are made of pine, age beautifully, and will continue to stand the test of time. Woodworking is what keeps Albert going during the winter months, and he never charges for the pieces he makes. “He only charges for materials,” says Ken. Alberta is a kind and gener ous person, who donates several items a year to the local Haying in the ‘30’s fundraiser. A sadness comes over Albert when he thinks about his bride June. “She was a war bride.” The couple met while Albert was in training camp in Bor den, Ontario. They met in Toronto and he spent a lot of time travelling back and forth to visit her . They married shortly after the war , “October 16, 1947,” states Albert proudly. He feels grateful to have been able to spend 65 years with the love of his life as he now tries to fill that void with his two hobbies. Albert has and continues to have a full and rich life, and he is looking forward to pulling his International in the upcoming Strathcona Vintage Tractor Pull and Show on Aug. 23 and 24. There’s a lot of life left in Albert, and he knows the best way to spend it, doing what he loves to do.

Thomas Lukaszuk to spice upborshch cook-off in Andrew duringBaba’ s & Borshch Festival Michelle Pinon Editor
P r o g r e s s i v e Conservative leadership hopeful Thomas Lukaszuk has of ficially entered another kind of race.
Thomas Lukaszuk Alberta’s former Deputy Premier, and Minister of Enterprise and Advanced Education, will be competing in the Borshch Cook Off at the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival on Sunday, Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. “I’m certainly looking forward to it,” stated Lukaszuk during a telephone interview Monday, Aug. 18. Lukaszuk said he competed once befor e in a borshch cook-off in
E L K
Edmonton for the Ukrainian Mens Choir, and he is looking forward to honing his skills and winning another title in Andrew. He doesn’t follow a r ecipe and alluded to the fact he will have a secr et weapon at his disposal. Lukaszuk has made many trips to the ar ea, and said he has many family members and friends in the region. Festival Co-ordinator Hazel Anaka said she received an email r egistration from Lukaszuk’s office. “In this case it was his campaign manager who did it. He (Lukaszuk) intends on bringing his mother Halina with him. It seems obvious to me that his campaign strategists see this event as a perfect opportunity for him to connect with ethnic voters in a busy event close to voting day. From our perspective, having a guy of his statur e attend is huge. If it draws visitors and/or media attention it’s gr eat for raising awareness.” As far as making Lamont County the Borshch Capital of Canada, Anaka said the declaration was at least partly tongue-in-cheek, but it also confirms that
I S L A N D
P U B L I C
while we offer an excellent experience to visitors. “We never take ourselves too seriously . From day one we’ve dreamed big and why not? At one point I said Borshch Capital of Alberta, and the r eply from a r espected, wellconnected Ukrainian Edmontonian was why not Canada?” Anaka said that building on the Borshch Cook Off and adding Chef Gail Hall’s borshch cooking class are two of the strategies which have been deployed. “Having Baba Magda appear on TV three times making borshch, raises awar eness and gets people talking. Our new motto is “Keep Calm & Eat Borshch” and the sign has proven to be a fun backdrop for photos whenever we have it out and about.” There are 15 entrants in the Borshch Cook Off. Another of the entrants of the same political stripe will be Jacquie Fenske, MLA for the constituency of Fort SaskatchewanVegreville. Fenske entered last year ’s contest, and while she didn’t win the contest, she is back for another try.

One of the of f-site venues visitors will be able to tour is the Andrew Museum which has recently undergone an impressive transformation thanks to W ilson Zukiwski, below and a handful of local volunteers from Andrew and surrounding areas.

“I tweaked my Borshch, well to me it is actually , Borscht, recipe. I am adding a secret ingredient and since this will now be my second time to make borscht I am hoping to impr ove. I would be the first to admit that it will pale in comparison to the baba’s who have spent years perfecting their r ecipes. Like many others, I have a mother who is a gr eat cook so I only have had to be an adequate cook,” stated Fenske. “I am always pleased when some of my PC colleagues join me. Last year Minister Klimchuk spent some time in Andrew. I cannot lay claim to getting MLA
Lukaszuk to attend this year - I’m going to say it is the excellent media coverage the or ganizers have worked so har d at getting that enticed him.” Last year’s Borshch
Cook Off runner up Matt Levicki will be trying to win the title. He has also convinced his father Randy Levicki, a former Andrew boy, to enter the
contest. An avid gardener and cook, Randy says he doesn’t mind putting on the soup, and helping to continue the tradition. Also entering the contest will be a grandson of last year’s first place winner Helen Zachoda. On the judges panel this year is Chef Gail Hall, T ravel Alberta’s Anastasia Martin-Stilwell and CFCW’s program director Jackie Rae Greening. “Expect some serious contenders, and overall great fun as we work to make Lamont County Borshch Capital of Canada, one bowl at a time,” added Anaka. So let the cooking begin!

Dog Control A review of 12 communities has been done in regards to how they handle dog/animal control. Of the 12 polled, only one community does not have dog/animal control in place. The largest question is what is done with animals that are picked up as Lamont County does not have a pound. Lamont County Council has decided that dog/animal control is not a priority at this time, and accepted the report as information. The Lamont County Council Meeting will reconvene Tuesday August 19 at 9:30 a.m.
