Bruderheim arena renaming and grand reopening ceremony Dec. 12 Michelle Pinon Editor Karol Maschmeyer was a remarkable woman, and on Dec. 12 her legacy will be honoured during a special grand reopening and renaming ceremony of the Bruderheim hockey arena. Karol has been described by family members as a woman of inspiration and foresight, and made things happen in the community. Granddaughter Seyara Shwetz stated: “She was passionately dedicated to her family, farm and community.” Even though she would not have approved of renaming

the arena in her honour, husband Dennis said he and members of the family felt strongly about publicly recognizing her accomplishments, and made plans to do just that this past year. Not only does the arena have a new name, but a new look as well as the siding has been replaced, and renovations completed in the upstairs portion of the building to include a hall of fame room to celebrate family and sport. Karol was a founding member in the construction of the Bruderheim arena in 1971, and several of her children and grandchildren coached and played hockey with great success. “She was a champion of hockey,

especially female hockey,” noted Dennis. “Eight of her 14 grandchildren have played or are playing at the university level or higher.” Daughter Karoden, a former teacher, said her mom always stressed the important of education, and emphasized as well as encourage post secondary education. In fact, she set up and paid into scholarships for each of her children and grandchildren. “She believed in working hard, and to achieve her

goals.” She also believed everyone had unlimited potential, and were capable of doing great things. She also believed in giving back to the community and volunteering was extremely necessary. Karol also established the Bruderheim Light Horse 4-H Club, set up the Canadian Buckskin Association and chaired the Bruderheim Tourism Committee which helped to develop the B r u d e r h e i m Campground. She was

instrumental and designed the Town of Bruderheim flag. “She was very creative,” noted Dennis, as she was a seamstress, artist, photographer, and architect; designing their own home. She would make costumes for horse competitions, and loved to paint and do macrame. The family always had a round table, as she believe no one was a leader and no one was a follower, they were equals beside each other. She loved hosting special

occasions, and Friday evenings were reserved as family night. Karoden said strength, perseverance, and creativity were three outstanding qualities she had. “She was a very astute business woman, and was one of the few female farmers and owned the P&H grain elevator and feedmill in Bruderheim for several years in the late seventies.

Recent pipeline announcements generating mixed bag of emotions from Canadians Michelle Pinon Editor

The Federal Government’s approval of Kinder Morgan’s $6.8 billion Trans Mountain Pipeline project last week was met with excitement and disap-

pointment by Canadians, and Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch agreed to weigh in on the decision. “It will be interesting going forward to see what pipelines actually get built & when, as the Kinder Morgan pipeline for example is apparent-

ly facing stiff opposition from folks in BC.” He went on to say the pipeline announcements made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are encouraging on one hand & extremely disappointing on the other hand in regards to the Northern Gateway Pipeline decision. “I feel that the biggest loser in the pipeline announcements is our province & the folks that depend on the oil industry & spin offs for their livelihood Hopefully, our

local economy can keep moving forward, regardless of the pipelines that are going ahead or not.” Premier Rachel Notley met with BC Premier Christy Clark Dec. 5 and 6. Notley stated: “British Columbia and Alberta share deep ties and common values. We all want good jobs, a clean environment and opportunities for our kids and grandkids. The Kinder Morgan pipeline offers an opportunity to show that a strong economy that benefits working families and world-class environmental standards go hand in hand. I look forward to having thoughtful and constructive conversations about the mutual benefits the project will bring to our two provinces.”

The members were always setting and working towards goals, and as a result, were able to participate in many activities, projects and give back to people in and around the Chipman area. Bill is also a recipient of the Melvin Jones Fellowship. The club used to hold bingos, and used funds to develop the Chipman Centennial Park. He also remembers canvassing

door to door for the Canadian National Institute For The Blind. Terry Cossey recalled when he and Bill were canvassing together and had a four hour layover at one home in Chipman, and had to call for a ride home. Bill also smiles while thinking about some of the many functions he attended over the years. By his side during many of the functions were Bill’s wife of 49 years, Doreen. The couple farmed, and raised their three daughters in the Ross Creek area, and have two grandchildren.

Opinion

From Where I Sit: Hug A Farmer

By Hazel Anaka Harvest 2016 is now officially a s&*t show. Anyone who’s farmed for more than a minute knows the ideal condition for harvesting fields

of grain is hot, dry weather. An extended run of several weeks of sunny, frost-free, dewfree weather allows farmers to run their equipment without breakdowns. It also ensures the grain is dry before it’s stored away in grain bins or hauled to an elevator. If it is not dry, a stinky, ashy, caked up mess and financial loss will result. As if the prolonged rain wasn’t enough someone cued the white stuff. Not a dusting but in our case, three and a half inches of snow. The forecast was scary. Last year October tempera-

tures were in the mid twenties; now, that’s great harvest weather. If crops remain standing or in swaths on the ground over winter, it may be catastrophic for some farmers. Not only does the quality, grade, and price drop—-if anyone will buy it at all, but mouse droppings further contaminate it. However, the bills for fuel, crop inputs, loan payments, and living expenses will still be due. If like us, farmers have crop insurance, typically you’re required to combine your devastated field so an adjuster can

then measure your yield and pay a claim based on the shortfall and your coverage level. Because we didn’t get a fall miracle many crops remain un-harvested. It will be April or May before a person can try combining again. Insurance companies aren’t known for their blinding speed. Any dropped straw still needs to be baled and the bales hauled away. Many farmers do at least some minimal cultivation to prepare for the next crop. If all this autumn work happens in spring, the 2017 planting will be delayed setting up potential problems

for next fall. A Canadian growing season is only so long; Mother Nature isn’t responsible if we don’t do our part in good time. Is this situation going to lead to more gambling, domestic abuse, bankruptcy, alcoholism? The sorts of lumpy social problems under the quilt called ‘better times.’ I think there is far more of this happening behind closed doors than any of us know. It’s easier to paper over the problems when the money is flowing in the oil industry, in the agricultural sector, when people are employed, when the

economy is humming. I just know, from life experience, that it’s a lot easier to be hopeful and positive, to keep the faith when there aren’t any serious challenges to our homeostasis and happy little lives. These are the times that challenge our resourcefulness, our mettle, our mental toughness. These are the times that separate the men from the boys, the women from the girls. This is also the time to hug a farmer, from where I sit.

Making the world a better place “The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 per cent,” David Hockney. A couple of years ago Orest Homeniuk envisioned a revival of a small community hall near Mundare. While members of the current executive were preparing to close the facility, he was dreaming up ways to make it viable again. Not only did he believe that with hard work and dedication he could gain the support necessary to make Zhoda Hall functional and operational once again. Not only did he believe in himself and others, he had made a similar turn around at Brookville Hall. As the catalyst for change, Orest gained the trust, faith, co-operation and enthusiasm of other

community members, and in a matter of months they were holding special events, renting out the facility, and making plans to refurbish the hall. Since that time there have been several markets, pyrogy suppers, community garage sale, family reunions, spa days, yoga, and a variety of other functions. I ran into Orest recently at a meeting in Bruderheim. He mentioned the upcoming turkey bingo at Zhoda Hall on Dec. 3, and how well things were going there and how they were able to upgrade from wooden benches to comfortable chairs. With a giant leap of faith, and strong belief in himself and other community minded people, he was able to turn what was an inevitable, hopeless situation and change the circumstances around desperate situation around for the bet-

terment of everyone. Looking into his eyes I could see the flame of faith still burning strong and bright, and how fortunate I was to have met him and to steal a glimpse of his beautiful soul. I was also lucky enough to personally meet and also hear stories about a few leaders in the Lamont County area who have been able to accomplish and achieve several things over the course of their lifetime to benefit family, friends, and people of all ages, whether or not they had a personal connection to them or not. Those people, and those examples are very heartwarming and inspiring, and serve as a reminder how there are still good people and things happening in our local communities.

Agricultural society heart and hub of the St. Michael Michelle Pinon Editor While the St. Michael Recreation Centre is the hub of the community, it’s the volunteers with the St. Michael Community & District Agricultural Society is the heart of the community. Out of the 365 days of the year, the hall was used a whopping 265 days in 2016! Over 2,000 volunteer hours were logged in by their hard working and dedicated volunteers. “This is a busy spot, and that’s all thanks to you guys,” stated Chris Klita, during his report during the annual general meeting on November 26. In fact, “I don’t know of any other hall in Lamont County that’s used as much.” Klita said all of the volunteers work well together, and go above and beyond. He personally recognized all of the executive officers and board of directors. He specifically thanked Tom Adamyk, for looking after the hall. “He’s always checking the hall,” added Klita, who estimated Adamyk must spend 340 days of the year at the hall. Ag. society members in attendance, about 150 in total, gave Adamyk a big round of applause for his efforts. Weddings, funerals,

Chris Klita Ag. Society President reunions, meetings, seminars, markets, public speaking, dance and music concerts, as well as a variety of programs are run out of the community hall. The ag. society worked with Lamont County Family & Community Support Services to incorporate a large play centre the Moms & Tots Program that is run weekly out of the facility. “It’s wonderful to see,” reported Mae Adamyk, who said there are 32 preschool age children at the hall on a weekly basis. Director Judy Taylor reported that the Kalyna Music Festival will be held at the hall from March 3-5, 2017. The dance portion of the festival will be held in Smoky Lake, noted Taylor. There will be no Highlights Concert as in previous years. She also thanked everyone who helped out with the festival this year. Joanne Paltzat reported that the kitchen committee catered to 35 functions throughout the year. Several perogy making work bees are held throughout the

year, and Paltzat, thanked Emily Kostiuk for all of her help. Most often volunteers make 5,000 perogies at a time. The record of 9,000 perogies made in six hours by 40 volunteers still stands. “A huge thank you to the Babas and girls, and a few guys who join us in their downtime,” she added. Bruce Anthony reported on activities with the seniors club, and wanted to thank Sharisse Rasmussen for coming on board, and acknowledged the efforts of the committee members as well. “We lost four members this year,” noted Anthony who wanted to take a moment to remember them. The first Thursday of the month is games night, and the club will be starting whist in the new year. The club also holds special events throughout the year, and recognizes birthdays and anniversaries of members, and encourage more people to become members. As a result of many bookings, the ag. society was able to complete several projects last year. Some of those upgrades included a projector screen, repainted kitchen cupboards, new hardware for the doors, stripping and waxing of the floors, new carpet, furnace upgrades, purchase of a storage container

and reroofing of the ball diamond buildings. Klita said they would like to make improvements to the parking lot in the future. Back in the spring of 1980, Mae Adamyk

New major investments coming to Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Alberta’s Industrial Heartland (December 5, 2016) – Two new propane processing facilities are one step closer to reality thanks to today’s announcement by the Government of Alberta. Major investments proposed by Inter Pipeline Ltd and Pembina Pipeline Corporation have been approved to receive royalty credits as part of the Alberta Government’s Petrochemicals Diversification Program. These proposed facilities will add value to Alberta’s propane resources, creating growth and diversity in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland and Alberta’s energy sector. “Petrochemical companies operate in an increasingly competitive, global market. Programs like the Petrochemical Diversification Program

help position Alberta and our region as a competitive location for investment,” explains Ed Gibbons, Chair of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA). “We commend the Government of Alberta for their support of value added processing and we congratulate Inter Pipeline and the joint venture of Pembina and Petrochemical Industries Company on their successful bids to the program. We welcome these innovative facilities to our region and Alberta.” The proposed propane dehydrogenation (PDH) projects are the first of their kind in Canada, and take advantage of the Heartland’s ample supply of cost advantaged propane feedstock. Traditionally propane is used as a fuel product or shipped out of Alberta

for processing elsewhere. The new facilities will convert propane into a higher value energy product. It is then used as the building block for numerous consumer products that include plastics, acrylic fibers, paints and resins which are steadily increasing in global demand. Projects of this magnitude help build sustainability in our workforce and communities, which strengthens Alberta’s economy. Alberta’s Industrial Heartland will see direct positive impacts from these new facilities, which are expected to reach a combined capital cost of approximately $6 billion. This will generate a total of 4,000 plus construction jobs, nearly 250 operational jobs, increases to local spending, and the generation of tax revenues for local

municipalities. On a provincial scale, these projects will contribute to growth in Alberta’s Gross Domestic Product. Alberta communities will benefit from increased provincial tax revenue and a growing demand for engineering, fabrication, trades, and other professional jobs. “Alberta is a particularly attractive location for a world-scale PDH facility given the ample supply of low-cost propane feedstock,” says Inter Pipeline’s President and CEO Christian Bayle. “A PDH facility and associated derivative facilities are an innovative way to provide new markets for Alberta propane, create jobs and help diversify our energy based economy.” “Alberta’s Industrial Heartland has a number of significant advantages

for our proposed facility, including the ability to utilize existing infrastructure such as rail, close proximity to inlet pipeline connections, high-load corridor road access, favourable site access and location adjacent to our existing Redwater facility, as well as a local skilled workforce,” says Mick Dilger, President & CEO, Pembina Pipeline Corporation. “The expansion work at our Redwater facility and our ongoing operations in the area have demonstrated the opportunities in the Heartland and the ability to take a coordinated approach to development.” AIHA is eager to see both projects move forward into the construction phase. These projects will capitalize on market conditions, feedstock supplies, access to

skilled labour, and government support for value added processing here at home. The AIHA looks forward to working cooperatively with the Government of Alberta’s Energy Diversification Advisory Committee to evaluate future program opportunities that will continue to promote value added investment and growth in the province’s energy sector. AIHA is Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing region. Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association is dedicated to coordinating, advocating, and promoting longterm sustainable development of the region. The municipal partnership includes Lamont County, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County, and the Cities of Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan.

Historic 125-year-old church moved Michelle Pinon Editor An historic Lamont County spiritual landmark is now on solid new footings due to the efforts of a handful of determined individuals. Last week, EDALTA movers slid Space Moskalyk Ukrainian

Catholic Church onto its new concrete foundation to the relief and joy of members of the parish council executive who have been working towards that goal for the past few years. Parish Council President Ernie Bay was at the church site, located seven miles northeast of

Parish council secretary Bev McCarty stands beside the graves of her great grandparents, grandmother and great aunt Hafia who are buried in the church cemetery.

Mundare, most of last week, overseeing the mammoth move. Bay, who was elected President this past spring, said they received a lot of support from former and current parishioners as well as local businesses in order to make the $55,000 move a reality. The church, was originally slated to be demolished and burned back in 2013, but did not come to pass. “We argued and fought, and argued and fought some more,” said Bay, who was strongly in favour of preserving the church. “We moved here from Saskatchewan when I was 13 or 14 years old, and we use to go to church there.” Bay has fond memories of attending special Feast Day celebrations, and his father was also a member of the board of directors at one time. Bay rolled up his sleeves and helped organize a harvest banquet and dance in the fall of 2014 to raise money for the move, and the group was successful in applying for a casino, which was held in 2015. “Once we started mak-

ing progress, and when parishioners could see promise and things happening, they got on the bandwagon. While they won’t be able to restore the church to its original state, they are planning to preserve the church. Plans include cleaning of the domes, replacement of the cedar shakes roof to metal, new eavestroughs and wooden doors, re-installation of the glass windows. “We want to keep it as original as possible.” Bay said he is very grateful to Lamont County for helping with ground work and tree removal on the site. Parish Council Secretary Bev McCarty said Bay “has done wonders” since he became President. “He got things busy, and got things done.” McCarty said she wanted to see the church preserved to honour the memory of the early settlers, as well as recognize the hard work and effort that was put into maintaining the church grounds over the years. She is happy the church is on a new foundation, and points out that the cement pilings are 16 feet deep. In addition, the fir floor joists are in good condition and won’t have to be replaced. Eventually a new sign will be put up on the site as well. While it has been a long haul to get to this point, members of the executive are more than happy to be inching towards even more success in the future.

Eventually plans are to replace the wooden sign with a metal one. The group has been approved to host a casino in 2018. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Lamont High Green Team supports Soles4Souls Michelle Pinon Editor

Christmas. The season of giving, and this season members of Lamont High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Team are looking for running shoes, heels, flip flops, winter boots and work boots to give to people in need throughout the world Between now and Friday, Dec. 16, the students are hoping to collect 50 pairs of shoes to help the poor. There are donation bins throughout the school, and donations can be dropped off anytime during school hours. Teacher Asha Ram said all of the donations will be delivered to Soles4Souls, a not-forprofit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. Founded in 2006, the organization has distributed more than 26 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries. According to the World Bank estimates that approximately 400 million children worldwide, more than the entire US population, live in pronounced poverty. Millions of these children donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to adequate footwear resulting in significant ramifications for their health and wellbeing. Lacking proper footwear, countless children will not be able or

permitted to attend school. And tens of millions of these poverty stricken, barefoot boys and girls will be infected with soil transmitted parasitic diseases like hookworm, causing lasting suffering and lifelong debilitation.â&#x20AC;? Ram said she heard about Soles4Souls campaign through another Elk Island colleagues whose school ran the shoe drive as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Sustrik and I decided that this would be a great project for our Green Team to start with as we are trying to develop the Team within our school, and it shows student and community stewardship. We discussed it with the students and Miss Sapiuk, who agreed that this was a worthwhile project for us to undertake.â&#x20AC;? She went on to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since last year, Elk Island Public Schools has been working with the Alberta Green Schools program, and Mr. Sustrik and I have been attending these meetings as representatives of Lamont High in order to foster a more environmentally and climate conscious community at our school.â&#x20AC;? The Green Team, which currently has nine members, (Grades 8-11), are excited about the campaign. The Green Team, and both the Social Studies and Science Curriculums discuss stewardship of the

planet, organisms and human beings. Ram pointed out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this charitable campaign fosters student involvement in the planet, in global problems such as poverty, and caring for our future as human beings. We are trying to have the students care for the planet and the organisms, (including us) that are on it.â&#x20AC;? The Green Team also plans to apply to participate in the gener8student conference which is hosted by Inside Education, and focuses on four environmentally significant days throughout the year (Earth Day, Arbour Day, Polar Bear Day, and Water Day). â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are also plans to replace our current waste and recycling bins with more clearly marked bins so students and staff can better sort their waste, and there has been some discussion by a couple of students to start a small greenhouse from which they could potentially use the fresh greens themselves or in the Foods Lab, if they are permitted. We wanted to set small reasonable goals for this year so that we could start to establish a more conscious mindset within our school culture, and hopefully, develop into larger or more numerous projects in years to come.â&#x20AC;?

Go East tourism headed in the right direction SUBMITTED ARTICLE November 9th marked the day of the Go East of Edmonton Regional Tourism organization’s Fall Special Event, hosted this year at the beautiful Red Feather Ridge event facility southeast of Mannville – owned and operated by Doug and Cheryl Livingstone, who have been actively involved in Alberta tourism for many years. The focus on this year’s event was on how we are changing tourism in our region east of Edmonton with two excellent presentations in the vein of that theme. There was enthusiastic feedback from the attendees of the event, who were better able to understand the important role that the Go East of Edmonton organization plays in marketing the region in the tourism industry. The presentations featured some key information on what’s trending in tourism for the region, including a massive increase in the popularity of farmers’ markets and a surge of new interest in heritage and culinary experiences. During the presentations, key information on Go East of Edmonton’s 2016 performance was shared, including an incredible increase in web traffic of 486%, number of social media followers doubled over last year and it was a record setting year for number of guides distributed and picked up

by consumers, with an estimated 200,000 readers of the guide throughout 2016. Also shared during the presentation by Kisilevich were some key points on what developing and nurturing the tourism industry can mean for the region during a time when the former mainstays of the economy are experiencing a slump. Namely, encouraging tourism activity generates a ripple effect in the local economy, creating jobs faster than any other industry and seeing hires at all educational levels with full-time, part-time and contract positions that can’t be outsourced. Go East of Edmonton Tourism is heading into its fifth year of tourism development and promotion throughout the region and is recognized by Travel Alberta and communities throughout the region as the leader and main source of tourism marketing and development. In 2016, the team of Go East of Edmonton attended every meeting, seminar or workshop hosted by Travel Alberta, resulting in upto-date information to use in strategy and development, as well as strengthening the relationships between key Travel Alberta representatives and the Go East of Edmonton organization. Tourism Consultant and Director of Go East of Edmonton, Kevin Kisilevich, also serves as

the director on the board of the Alberta Culinary Tourism Alliance (ACTA). Go East has been working together with ACTA for more than two years now to facilitate the development and promotion of culinary trails throughout the east of Edmonton region. Kisilevich was in attendance at the Travel Alberta Annual Conference, hosted in Banff on October 24th and 25th, where ACTA was honoured with an Alberta Tourism ALTO Award. “It’s been a great year for the Go East tourism region,” remarked Kisilevich. The continued development work done through the Go East and ACTA partnership for the culinary field has enjoyed great interest and support from restaurant owners and producers across the region. When discussing the reasons for the great success that Go East of Edmonton has been experiencing, Kisilevich says it is due to a number of key factors. Go East has developed strong partnerships with key major media, including Global Edmonton and CTV Edmonton, as well as local media – Country 106.5 and local newspapers. As well, Go East has seen excellent success from working with some of the top digital marketing consultants in Alberta – with a recent notable partnership with Strong Coffee Media in

Edmonton which resulted in a summer-long digital marketing campaign which was wildly successful and the first of its kind done in a tourism organization in our region. “Another key to our success is that we have put together an experienced and dedicated team of directors, staff,

and consultants who are making a real difference in growing tourism,” said Kisilevich. As 2016 draws to a close, the Go East team is focused on strategizing for the future, expecting another huge growth over the next year. “We are very excited to say that we are seeing a real growth in regional

tourism and we invite businesses and organizations who want to get involved and participate to do so. We’re seeing a very positive tourism trend in the region right now and we anticipate that it will be continuing into the future throughout East-Central Alberta,” he concluded.

Karol Maschmeyer’s legacy will be honoured

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Karol and Dennis Maschmeyer made time for fun and family as well as all of their hobbies. They often spent time at horse competitions and at their cabin at Gull Lake. Dennis said she learned how to operate farm equipment and run the business from the ground up, while he worked as an engineer at Sherritt. Dennis also worked his way from the ground up at Sherritt and served as its President and Chief Executive Officer in Toronto from 2002 to 2004. She was an “outside the box thinker” who “loved to learn” and loved every minute spent on the farm and with her horses.

Dennis said she was always home when the kids, (Karoden, Tannar and Arlan), came home from school. Exceedingly gifted, Dennis said she was a multitasker who could manage many things at once. Her cabin at Gull Lake was her “pride and joy” and Dennis said she found great solace there. The cabin was and continues to be a haven and great gathering spot for family members to this day. Dennis met Karol at a company they both

worked for in Calgary. He recalls at a company bonspiel rating the “various attributes” of the female office staff, and when Karol got wind of this she took him aside and planted a big kiss on his lips. From then on he was smitten, and they married on Dec. 29, 1962. They moved to the Bruderheim area in 1965, and they shared their lives and loves for 53 years until her passing on Dec. 29, 2015.
