Fraser Institute awards Bruderheim School top academic ranking in latest report Michelle Pinon Editor When it comes to good news, Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch is willing to spread it; and such was the case recently when the Fraser Institute gave Bruderheim School an overall rating of 7.5 out of 10. “Wonderful news for Bruderheim School like the Fraser Institute report this year needs to be trumpeted out to the public as much as possible,” stated Hauch. He also pointed out that Bruderheim School’s 7.5 ranking was higher than all of the Fort S a s k a t c h e w a n Elementary Schools
whose ranking was 6.0 as detailed in the findings. Hauch said Bruderheim School has been in the upper rankings of the Fraser Institute reports before, and as to whether the 7.5 ranking is an anomaly or a positive sign of the future of Bruderheim School, time will tell. Bigger schools aren’t necessarily better, added Hauch, who gave the credit to Principal Sven Danzinger and his amazing staff as well as the school’s volunteers. “As our town has been growing over the past number of years, the town has seen an uptick in population, resulting more great kids attending the school. This all builds on itself , and the
result is results like we see this year from the Fraser Institute report. Hauch predicts the community and the school will continue to grow, “and be even more successful in giving our children a great foundation of learning”. EIPS board chair Trina Boymook stated that, “An important focus at Bruderheim School, like many of our schools, is providing strong educational expereinces to assist students in achieving academic success.” Boymook added that, “One goal of Bruderheim School specifically is to improve academic achievement among students. The staff work very hard to guide, teach, and support stu-
dents to grow and learn, and we are very proud of their accomplishments.” Boymook described Bruderheim School as a “wonderful school,” where students and staff are very involved and connected with the community. Whether it’s inviting the community into the school to celebrate the school year, or students creating thank you notes and centrepieces for a community event, the partnership that exists is wonderful to see. The school works closely with families, the town, and a number of organizations within the community to support the development of the total child; academically, physically, socially, emo-
tionally and creatively. This collaborative and supportive relationship
absolutely contributes to the success of the school and its students.”

ASIRT concludes investigation in RCMP incident Drug and alcohol toxicity cause of man’s death in Andrew On January 6, 2015, the Director of Law Enforcement directed the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a 55-year old man. On the evening of January 5, 2015, RCMP officers from the Two Hills RCMP Detachment were called to a residence in Andrew, Alberta to remove an intoxicated man from a woman’s residence. The woman had fled the residence after a confrontation with the man. Upon arrival, RCMP officers noted that the house had no lights on. While they were preparing to enter into the house, the man was spotted in a window. An officer shone his flashlight at the window and told the man he was under arrest. The man came to the front door and yelled‚ “If you come in here I am going to kill you‚“ and then went back into the house. As the man was known to police and had been involved in a previous incident involving firearms, the RCMP officers moved to safety and called in more police officers and the Emergency Response Team. As police officers surrounded the house, the man came to the front door a second time and yelled at them to call the‚ ”SWAT‚“ team, helicopters and dogs. The man was told that he was under arrest and to come out of the residence, to which the man responded‚ “Kill me, kill me”. At one point the man did come out of the house carrying a long-edged knife and a newspaper but shortly thereafter went back into the home. He was last seen at 10:33 p.m. when he came out again, threw a jacket onto the porch and demanded to speak with the woman who had called police. From 9:30 p.m. to 3:28 a.m. the next day, the RCMP were unsuccessful in their continual attempts to negotiate the man’s peaceable surrender. At 5:30 a.m., RCMP entered the house and found the man deceased on the hallway floor near the front door. On January 7, 2015, an autopsy was completed. It was determined that the man died as a result of drug and alcohol toxicity. The concentration of alcohol in

his blood was more than three times over the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle, and he also had very high elevated levels of morphine and cyclobenzaprine, a pain reliever and muscle relaxant, in his system at the time of his death. ASIRT’s Executive Director, Mrs. Susan D. Hughson, Q.C., conducted a careful review of the investigation in its entirety. Mrs. Hughson confirmed that the death of the man was the result of the volun-
tary use of drugs and alcohol in a lethal combination and that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that RCMP officers committed any offences that caused or contributed to his death. ASIRT’s mandate is to effectively, independently, and objectively investigate incidents involving Alberta’s police that have resulted in serious injury or death to any person, as well as serious or sensitive allegations of police misconduct.

Opinion Misconceptions and misunderstandings This newspaper is a business, not a charity. Like all businesses, we support other businesses who support us. We support people who support us. One hand washes the other as the old saying goes. If you check with most business people, they follow the same principle. The greatest misconception about all small town newspapers is that people think they are supporting the newspaper simply by picking up a copy at the local store. While we thank you for that, sales of the actual newspaper are a very small part of our business. We stay in business by selling advertising. That is true with all media; radio, television, newspapers and magazines, and even the web. That is the reality of the situation, and your newspaper has accumulated a great number of wonderful customers over the years. Thank you for that. But there are two common problems that have aris-
en time and again over the years and years we have been in business, and it certainly isn't unique to us. 1) Readers wondering why we didn't get to their function despite them not advertising it at all in the newspaper, or even calling someone here to let us know about it. In other words: People expecting us to support them, when they don't support us. News is news however, and the next time the shuttle is lifting off on Main Street we will be there advertising or not. Most news is more ambiguous. What is hugely important to one, is often minor to others. 2) People expecting us to do in-depth reporting (like 60-Minutes) with a tiny staff, on an issue they are passionate about yet will not let their name stand with an opinion on the exact same topic. If there is one thing I have learned since first buying a newspaper in 1985, or in my total of 35 years in the publishing business it is that most conflicts are caused by misunderstandings. You can not believe
Letter to the Editor The rest of the story... Dear Editor: I read with interest your article on the demolition of Mundare School (June 30 issue) and while I am saddened to see the end of an era, I can understand the need for a new facility. I also appreciate the fact that community organizations were able to benefit from the dispersal of items from the school. However, your article only tells part of the story. It neglects to say that a select few individuals and private businesses (some with little or no ties to the school) were informed of the dispersal. They were able to collect items, in a few cases, truckloads, some of which left the
community. A large number of former students and staff had no knowledge of the dispersal and so were not accorded the opportunity to visit the school one last time and take home a piece of memorabilia. It is rather disheartening to many who have fond memories of their time in the school that they were not considered and could not “capture” something for posterity. Now you know the rest of the story. Sylvia Zacharkiw Mundare school student (1955-67), parent (1983-97), principal (1989-97)

how many times I have come across people who have read something between the lines that absolutely blurred reality. One time I ran into a reeve from another county who was angry at us for years because a group photo went into the paper that we accidentally cropped him out of, and he thought we did it on purpose for some reason. In reality, the editor thought everyone was accounted for in the picture after she imported it onto page 3. We all had a good laugh about the incident and told him there was no way we would purposely do that, and explained how it happened simply by mistake. We had a fantastic relationship with him once that was cleared up, as is most often the case. KERRY ANDERSON

From Where I Sit: Old School
By Hazel Anaka Despite having been born in Edmonton, I’ve spent the majority of my life in rural Alberta. We moved to the farm when I was in grade three. After high school graduation I did what every other farm kid does; I got the hell out and headed for the bright lights. I went to college. After working for a few years in the city, the local farm boy I married heard the call of the land and we moved to the village of Andrew. Farming parttime and commuting to a drafting job in Edmonton became Roy’s life. Eventually we moved and began farming full-time. Like all of us, I am a product of the stew

called nature and nurture, time and place, and the depth (or shallowness) of my gene pool. I’m a product of the parenting I received and the overall abundance (or lack) of our circumstances. I am a product of all the efforts (planned or accidental) that I attempted in order to improve said environment, genes, circumstances, et cetera. The 1972 poem Children Learn What They Live by Dorothy Law Nolte explains the obvious: children learn and absorb what they are exposed to. She outlines both the negative and positive outcomes. Will our kids turn out critical or compassionate? Apprehensive or confident? Envious or loving? So, as parents most of us set out to use all the tools at our disposal to mold and shape the children we’re raising. We’re determined to pour as much good stuff into their little brains as we can, or die trying. That teaching doesn’t end when they leave home either. I remember saying to my kids, “Do such and such because it’ll be
another notch on your resume. It will give you the edge over another applicant. It’ll give you a new skill set. It’ll make you a better person. It’ll teach you a life lesson.” Whether it was qualifying as a junior member of the volunteer fire department or planting seedlings at a tree nursery. Whether it was playing piano or volunteering in church. I urged them to set a goal because the main benefit of that exercise is, as Jim Rohn used to say, “what it makes of you to accomplish it.” This whole piece describes my mindset, life philosophy, prejudice, you name it. That’s the thinking through which I filter all I hear and see. Is it right? Is it shared? It is the same as yours? So I am gob smacked when I hear about young people who don’t have basic skill sets like a driver’s license or first aid course. People who think nothing of just not showing up. People who steal from their employer every time they come late, leave early, post and tweet and text when they

Regional waterline undergoing multimillion upgrades to increase capacity Michelle Pinon Editor Water is essential to life, but most often, we don’t think about it because it automatically flows out of our taps. But mor e and mor e residential and commercial users ar e coming on-str eam with the Vegreville Regional water supply line, and that means expansion and upgrading of the system. Jim Palmer, chairman of the John S. Batiuk Regional Water Commission, went over the plans during a r ecent tour, stopping at the online facility near Fort Saskatchewan. He explained that water is purchased from the City of Edmonton and brought to the on-line facility via two transmission lines, the north side line and the west side line. The V egreville corridor (J.S. Batiuk Commision), is approximately 90 km long and services between 60 and 70 comunities. Back in Nov. 2014 recommendations and staging of improvements were presented to the commission board, and now the first stage of the upgrades, (installation of a new 450 horsepower pumping unit), and electrical upgrades have been completed. Palmer said the upgrade will double the pumping capacity , and will greatly benefit all users. He pointed out that demand has increased over the past couple of years with addition of the Alberta Central East W ater System (ACE), which comprises 13 municipalities. Other member municipalities include: Strathcona County, Lamont County, Town of Bruderheim, Town of Lamont, Village of Chipman, T own of Mundar e, and the Town of Vegreville. Stage two will see a new booster pump station installed near the Village of Chipman, with a second one to follow after that. The booster pumps would maximize the capacity of the pipeline while staying within the maximum pipeline operating pr essure. Stage three would include pipeline upgrades downstream of the pr oposed booster station. All totalled, the upgrades will cost in the neighbour hood of $30 million. So while it will take awhile for all of the improvements to come to fr uition, it’s good to know that the water will keep flowing for many years to come, and that we are in good hands with Palmer, the rest of the board members, and commission manager Pat Tomkow, who keep the system flowing smoothly.

The expanded river water intake was constructed with a thor ough remediation program that pr events erosion along the river band and r educes the need for multiple, individual intakes by industrial operations along the river.

Since 2011, the company has undertaken major , progressive infrastructure projects, including an upgrade to its river water intake system on the North Saskatchewan River, and the construction of a modern pump station facility. These projects provide a foundation for the development of ATCO’s integrated industrial water and wastewater infrastructure in the region.

The gifts of artistry extended to members of the Basilian Or der in Canada and abr oad. Now local residents and visitors alike will be able to view and appreciate the work of several priests in a new exhibit at the Basilian Fathers Museum in Mundare. Karen Lemiski, Associate Director and Curator at the Basilian Fathers Museum, says, “All of the works were produced by members of the Basilian Or der, and wer e completed between 1924 and 1947; some fr om Europe, some from Canada.” The collection includes pencil and char coal sketches to pen and ink drawings to oil paintings. Some of the pieces ar e very detailed, some more ‘folk art’ style, depending on the artistic skills of the individual, added Lemiski. There are two char coal sketches in the exhibit by Father Marian Horishny who was ordained in Chicago in 1942, but also served in parishes in Edmonton, Mundar e and Glendon between 1945 and 1947.

That is something Dave Cuthbert knows first hand as the r esident of the Andrew District Historical Archives Museum Society. He and a handful of members ar e struggling to keep the Andrew elevator viable. “ live in this town and want it to survive,” said Cuthbert, a 5 year r esident of the community and former carpenter and farmer. Cuthbert, 75, explained that it costs between ,000 and 5,000 annually to operate the facility, which has been officially designated a provincial historic site. ith that designation comes stipulations regarding refurbishing or r eplacing of building materials. For example, Cuthbert says the elevator is in need of repairs to the northside, a new paint ob, and drive shed on the west side. The cost of r eplacing the wall and painting, is estimated to be 170,000; and Cuthbert says the society would have to come up with half of that in order to ualify for a matching grant. hile the fiscal challenges ar e daunting, and substantial; that doesn’t dampen or lessen Cuthbert’s passion or drive to keep this heritage site a part of the community in 2015 and beyond. The elevator, built in 1927, “ as the main industry in town until the late ‘90’s,” pointed out Cuthbert. hen the industry shifted gears, it became inefficient.” Cuthbert explained that elevators went from a manual to an automated system, making the conventional system obsolete. nstead of letting natur e take its course, and allowing the Alberta heat ool grain elevator to be demolished; Cuthbert and a group of community members banded together to raise enough money to purchase the elevator for 10,000. The society was of ficially incorporated in May of 2005. Since then a small handful of dedicated volunteers have been trying to keep the sentinel standing. The ma ority of traditional grain elevators in the pr ovince have been demolished over the past 20- 0 years; but Cuthbert as well as fellow volunteers are determined to keep it, and its history alive. ecently, Cuthbert and fellow volunteer ay Macdonald sold 50 50 tickets during the Andrew Sport-Off to raise funds to keep the elevator operating this year. “ would like to thank everyone who contributed to the 50 50 at Sport-Of f,” noted Cuthbert. olunteers will also be selling 50 50 tickets during the Babas Borshch krainian Festival on Aug. 22 and 2 . The elevator will be open for tours during the event, and folks are encouraged to see first hand its inner workings, and how it was operated. The society is in need of a secr etary-treasurer, and anyone interested in the position, or oining the society is encouraged to attend the next meeting at the elevator on Thursday, Aug. 1 at 7 p.m.

Borshch Cook Off Judges Announced SUBMITTED ARTICLE
Anaka is issuing a challenge and an invitation to all ‘closet cooks’ to enter The third annual Babas Borshch this fun event. krainian Festival is now ust weeks “ t (the cook off) has been one of the away. Festival Coor dinator Ha el most popular aspects of the festival and we expect this year to be no different. n fact, based on early registrations, there will be some drama. Last year’s winner, Nicholas achoda of the St. Michael area will be competing head-tohead, ladle-toladle with first year winner (and his Baba) Helen achoda from Mundare. Last year young Nicholas took the udges by surprise with his secret ingredient, an egg from one of his own chickens,” said Anaka. “ hear he’s been tending his vegetable garden FILE PHOTOS MICHELLE PINON with a lot of Che ail all will be hosting a borshch coo ing de onstration TLC and finessing his chopand will serve as one o the udges or the coo o

Sur e, those pr ovide great entertainment value for the crowd but for us as udges, only the taste matters,” said Chef Gail Hall who is r eturning as one of the udges for her third year. Joining Hall this year is Chef Brad Smoliak of Kitchen by Brad and founder editor of The Tomato food and drink magaine, Mary Bailey. Cooks compete for one of thr ee pri es (a custom-made borshch bowl by egreville’s Debra CherniawskyDurrer) and bragging rights. “Even though there was some trash talk last year and the Edmonton Journal has referred to it as a Borshch Smackdown, this is strictly a fun event. No one is going to win a million dollars,” said Anaka. This year the Cook Of f at 1 pm is sandwiched between Gail Hall’s Borshch Demo Cooking Class at 11 0, now free and open to all who attend, and the festival’s close out event the scr eening of a documentary called A Place Called Shandr o.

However, motorcycle drivers were less likely to follow too closely, make an unsafe left turn or commit stop sign violations. Also, in 2013 when compared to drivers involved in all types of vehicle casualty collisions, motorcycle drivers were more likely to have consumed alcohol before the crash. A motorcyclist’s enjoyment and safety not only depends on mastering the skills of driving but also on remaining aware of traffic. This means ensuring you are seen while shar-

Remnants of the past woven into present day life at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
Michelle Pinon Editor
My companion and I decided to take a walking tour of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village (UCHV) recently. Even though I have visited several times, my friend had never stopped in for a thorough walk about. As we walked up to the Centennial Pioneer Recognition Monument, my companion became very curious, and commented on how many names were inscribed on the plaques. Moving towards the Hawreliak house, he commented on the chickens and lovely garden before touring the charming abode. The resident interpreter was just as charming, and when we departed, he asked if people were living there? Glancing at the pieces of furniture and various everday items, he said: “I look at the stuff I see, and it’s what we had, and it’s in a museum, and I think, I’m getting old.” Traveling down the causeway we admired the Bellis Home Grain Company Elevator. Once inside, he said his grandfather worked in the feedlot in Edmonton, which had an elevator. As soon as he walked to the back of the elevator he declared, “The smell is perfect,” just as he remembered from his childhood.
He also remembered the hot summer days spent at his uncle’s farm near Bottrel, southwest on the Cowboy Trail, where he would go fishing and swimming. Walking by the Kolody Sawmill he remembered a former employers sawmill. “It wasn’t as elaborate as this set up, but we cut firewood for cooking roast beef at the golf course... Pete and Molly were Ukrainian and did everything old school.” We stopped at Morecombe School where he thought back to the time when he sat at the wooden desks with the drawer. Another visitor told his wife, “I remember going to dances here,” as it was a hall after it’s original use as a school had passed. We stopped at the Demchuk Blacksmith Shop, before breaking for lunch. We made several other stops after lunch, but in the heat, (32 degrees celsius) we decided to leave a few of the sites unseen, and he vowed to go back again, next time with his son. Walking back to the car, my husband said, “Most people probably don’t know what’s under their nose.” I agreed, but said we’d help spread the word so folks throughout Lamont County and beyond would come to visit and experience the sights and sounds of UCHV where the past truly comes back to life.

Biodiversity in the Garden
By Mark Cullen Have you noticed how our language changes with the passage of time? Where gardening is concerned, there is an interesting evolution of language that reflects the keen interests of many, who were inspired by a few. Take food for example. I contend that the incoming generation is inspired to take up gardening as a pastime and hobby largely due to their interest in food. I learned recently that post secondary college courses that target food are full to over flowing, many with waiting lists. There is much talk of container growing herbs, succession planting, companion planting, GMO free vegetables and fruits, organically grown food, integrated pest management and I could go on. The point is that we are seeing our activity in the garden as part of a much greater whole. We are not just ‘partners’ with Mother Nature out there, we are enablers of her greatest work. This is the most exciting part of being a gardener in the second decade of the new millennium. Biodiversity’ and ‘sustainability’ were two words that I never used in my communications 20 years ago. Indeed, they never entered my head, not where gardening was concerned. But here we are, turning our attention out of doors for answers to questions about the health of our
honey bee population and methods for attracting hummingbirds to the garden. H o w can you attract more pollinators and create more biodiversity in your yard and garden? I am here to help. This is my list of ‘things you can do’ to make your garden a much more exciting place to live and play: 1. Native plants. Butterflies, hummingbirds and song birds are, for the most part, native themselves. So it only makes sense that they are attracted to plants that are also native. To be clear, native species are plants that lived here before the Europeans arrived about 500 years ago. Many still thrive in our hinterland while others have bitten the dust and disappeared. Perhaps part of the gardeners’ mantra is to grow many plants that are on the endangered species list in an effort to contribute to their comeback. 2. Plants for habitat and protection. As my country property has filled in with the thousands of plants that I have put there over the years, I am keenly aware of the increase in life: a swelling of activity that is unmistakably more dense and rich each growing season. There is a reason why our native forests are alive with restless native activity. The importance of the protection that is afforded in the form of deciduous trees and evergreens cannot be overstated. When you plant trees and shrubs you provide nesting areas for many song birds and shelter where they feel safe as they feed from your bird feeders, garden plants and bathe in your bird bath. 3. Feeders. Hummingbirds are not
only primary pollinators in most Canadian gardens but they provide more entertainment than most any wildlife that you can attract to your yard. They are territorial and as a result, they spar with one another for available food sources. If you hang a hummingbird feeder early in the spring you will sooner or later find yourself laughing at their antics as they compete for perch space on it. If you feed hummingbirds it is important to keep the feeder clean by rinsing it out with some mild soapy water each time you refill it or once every week. This prevents disease from spreading. You can mix up your own food or buy it. I prefer the liquid concentrated food as it is easy to mix and works like a charm. 4.Habitat. Different pollinators need different environments to live and breed. All wildlife needs water. Consider a shallow tray or saucer of fresh water in the feeding areas of your garden for honey bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. As for specific ‘habitat’: a. Bees. Honey bees need a hive and a bee keeper. I recommend that you read the book ‘Bees Make the Best Pets’ by Jack Mingo for details. Native bees are a different matter. I provide pieces of lumber, at least 12 cm thick and drilled with 3/8 holes to attract mason bees to my yard. Look for commercial mason bee houses at your local ‘birding’ retailer. With increased interest in the bee population there are several good ones to choose from, including two in the Mark’s Choice line up. b. Butterflies. Butterflies are grown up larvae and butterfly larvae eat plants before they pupate into adults. Think
about this when you find a caterpillar eating your dill plants (it is likely a swallowtail youngster) or milkweed (monarch butterfly larvae). Don’t be in a hurry to pitch the baby butterfly out with the bath water. Instead, consider sharing your garden with them. Keep in mind that they generally do not do permanent damage to plants and they always mature within days or short weeks into adults that fly and collect nectar and pollen from your flowering plants. There is more to biodiversity than pollinators, where your garden is concerned. If you have frogs living in a water feature you can be sure that you have created habitat and a balanced environment that is extraordinary. Frogs breathe through their skin and as a result they are very sensitive to changes in the environment. When water or air is polluted, the frog population declines quickly. The same can be said for toads. Both eat insects, including mosquitoes, and play an important role in the big life cycle of your garden. Ditto salamanders, newts and dragonflies. The more the better! 5. Water. If you wish to get serious about the biodiversi-
ty in your yard you really must consider adding a permanent water feature. Think of the Serengeti Plain in Africa, where beasts chase and eat each other all day long in a constant competition to survive and thrive. Then, as the sun begins to set on the horizon, they all meet at the watering hole for a drink. I imagine a quiet toast between the most fit and agile of the lot: ‘Here is to life!’ Gulp. Your yard is its’ own Serengeti, where all living things with legs and wings make their way to your pond or half barrel filled with fresh water each evening. In time you will benefit not only the pollinators and song birds: our best friends in
the garden, but the quiet foot soldiers too. The centipedes, millipedes, mice, moles and voles all play a role in the ever changing coming and going, to-ing and fro-ing that goes on right under our noses every day. Fresh water, especially still water, is the most powerful elixir of life in your yard. Your entire community will benefit with the addition of it.

The road will be open to local traffic only and trucks to the pioneer terminal can detour to highway 15 on highway 29 and access from the south side. Construction will take approximately 15 days.
While a development permit allows for specific types of development and/or use on a specific parcel of land according to the zoning and land use bylaw of the county, a building permit ensures compliance with the Alberta Building Code, which addresses public safety. Building permits only cover the structural aspect of construction; permits are also required for electrical, plumbing, gas and private sewage. Development permits are required for new buildings, additions, structural changes to buildings, business and expansion of a current business, and development and/or construction that will result in a change of use on a particular land parcel. They are also required for mobile/manufactured homes or R.T.M. homes to insure the home is sited according to the land use bylaw, and meets the intended use of the site. For any questions related to development or building permits, contact the Lamont County Planning and Development Department.
