World Curling Tour Alberta Championship stop over in Town of Mundare cancelled Michelle Pinon Editor

A highly anticipated curling championship was the talk of the town last Tuesday.

Mundare town councillors expressed their excitement and enthusiasm for the World Curling Tour Alberta Championship, and

voted in favour of donating $500 towards the event on Feb. 16th. “It’s something new,” stated Mayor Charlie Gargus, who felt it would also be “another unique draw to the town.”

The venue for the curling championship, the Mundane Recreation Centre, with the Mundane Curling Club playing host. However, a

few days later, Trevor Zarchiw, President of the Mundare Curling Club, said the event had been cancelled.

“The organizing committee of the Richardson Pioneer Men’s Spring Classic and the Webb’s Machinery Women’s Spring Classic have regrettably cancelled the event. There was tremendous support from the

and it would give teams a last chance to earn some cash and WCT points. There was some high level, international and top 10 teams in the world committed; however, there was not enough teams registered to have the event be recognized at the WCT level for merit points.

We have heard from teams that they are now

local and surrounding community with an event purse adding up to $10,000 per side.”

He went on to say, “With the major Provincial play downs and Slam qualification events completed, the committee thought it would be an ideal time to hold the event as it would not have to compete with other events,

reflecting on their season, and team composition, and deciding on what their team makeup may look like for next year. We will be revising this endeavour again in the fall and deciding if we want to try and organize it once again.”

High fire hazard prompts action Michelle Pinon Editor

Extremely low moisture levels prompted Lamont County to issue an advisory to residents on Friday, February 19th.

The advisory stated that issuing of fire permits would cease immediately. Lamont Fire Chief Randy Siemens said normally the municipality issues fire permits until March 31, but because of extremely low moisture levels, they moved that date up to Feb. 19.

“Fire advisory notices will be placed on our phone line, Alberta fire site, and in the media. Further developments may include a full fire ban as surveys have concluded the fire danger is rising and soil moisture is extremely low,” stated Siemens.

He added that this is the first time the burn season has been cut this short. Before making that determination, Siemens said they check moisture under grass and leaf build up, standing grass in ditches and around shelter belts, contact Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, as well as examine agricultural forecasts and samples.

Municipalities sign fire services agreement Continued from Page 1 Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County council chambers were packed last Tuesday, (Feb. 16) as elected officials, chief administrative officers, and fire chiefs gathered for the official signing of the new fire services agreement.

“It was an exciting and historic moment in our county,” stated, Lamont County Fire Chief Randy Siemens. “I’m very proud of how it (the agreement) came togeth-

er.”

Siemens, along with Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski and Chief Administrative Officer Robyn Singleton thanked everyone involved. Siemens said it is nice to have everyone on the same page at the same time.

One by one, representatives sat at the table to sign their copies of the agreement.

Representing the Village of Andrew was Mayor Heather Tait.

Representing the Town of Bruderheim was Deputy Mayor Wayne Olechow. Representing the Town of Lamont was

Mayor Bill Skinner.

Representing the Town of Mundane was Mayor Charlie Gargus.

The only community not to sign the new agreement was the Village of Chipman, which operates its own fire department. Back on Dec. 31, 2015 the Village of Chipman gave Lamont County notice it would not be renewing its fire services agreement with the county.

Siemens said it is a “good and fair” agreement, and provides a good footing as they move forward together.

He pointed out that the agreement also allows

each fire department to guide the direction of fire services in the county.

Siemens added that they will be setting up teams, with representatives from each of the participating fire departments to develop policies in relation to standard operating guidelines and procedures, budget, equipment, etc. He said the length of time each committee would operate would depend on a number of factors.

The celebration concluded with cake and coffee for all the participants.

Opinion Electrical policy should go back to the drawing board The NDP government is launching a massive experiment with our electricity grid that will result in higher bills as a result of the $3 billion carbon tax.

Don MacIntyre We have seen the damage these types of bad policies have brought to other Canadian jurisdictions.

Almost ten years ago, the Ontario government

decided that cost wasn’t a priority when it comes to generating electricity.

In 2009, the Ontario Liberal government passed that province’s Green Energy Act. Today, Ontario’s coalfired electrical plants have all been shut down, despite the fact that not long before their closure, several of them had been outfitted with advanced air pollution control equipment.

Ontario’s thoroughly green objective for its electrical system sounded terrific, and certainly had good intentions, but no one analyzed the cost and the price tag for businesses and families who rely on the power grid.

No one seriously considered how moving from coal to wind and other sources in such a short period of time

would impact families, small and medium sized businesses, manufacturing competitiveness, investment and jobs.

No one considered the fact that this energy policy, just like all energy policies, would end up redefining Ontario’s entire business and investment climate.

Today, according to the Association of Major Power Consumers, Ontario has the highest industrial electrical rates in North America.

In a recent report, Ontario’s Auditor General highlighted that during a single eightyear period Ontario electrical users paid $37 billion more than market price for their electricity.

A direct result of these same policies will mean that between now and 2032, an additional cost of $130 billion above the

market price of electricity will be added to that $37 billion overpayment.

In total, it adds up to an Ontario overpayment for electricity that is roughly equal to 25 per cent of Canada’s National Debt.

The Alberta NDP is taking us down a similar road, with Premier Rachel Notley praising the Ontario government for its management of the electricity grid (a genuine cause for concern).

When coupled with $3 billion in new taxes, this approach to electrical policy will make every Alberta family poorer at a time when they can least afford it. It also runs the risk of turning into an uncontrollable quagmire like in Ontario where consumers pay the highest electrical rates on the continent.

In Premier Notley’s plan, we don’t see economic discretion, deliberate calculations or extensive discussion on socio-economic impact.

In this policy, we are faced with a hurried political initiative that is long on philosophy and short on technical merit.

The fact is, cost matters. Whether this NDP government likes it or not, everything in the world runs on a profit and a loss. If money can’t be made, money won’t be invested. It’s as fundamental to the laws of economics as gravity is to laws of physics.

There is no virtue in imposing a policy that mimics the disaster that has occurred in Ontario.

There is no virtue in setting up a system that punishes people for heating their homes during the Alberta winter.

There is no virtue in creating an electrical system that will drive business and investment out of Alberta.

The NDP government should go back to the drawing board and come up with a made-inAlberta approach to renewable energy that doesn’t compromise our economy or jobs, and doesn’t copy failed experiments from other jurisdictions.

Don MacIntyre is the Wildrose Shadow Minister for Electricity & Renewables. He was previously an instructor in Renewable Energy at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

From Where I Sit: Thank You

By Hazel Anaka It is impossible to watch the daily footage of the world’s natural or man-made disasters without saying a prayer.

The lost souls and their survivors need our prayers. Those injured or

those awaiting word on loved ones need our prayers. Those left to rebuild their lives, homes, communities and country will need our prayers for strength and courage.

It is impossible to comprehend the magnitude of these all too common events without saying a prayer of thanks for our own lives. The bitching and moaning most of us do should make us ashamed. Yes, many of us have real challenges and those dark, dreary days try one’s patience, mental health, and fortitude but they rarely kill anyone. This prairie girl understands and appre-

ciates anew the blessed life we lead in Canada.

By most measurements we are safe in every sense of the word.

Counting blessings becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. One blessing begets another.

Gratitude and appreciation are catchy. So in that vein, we should thank God or our genes or Lady Luck that our health is good. We’re not going for chemo. We’re not losing our faculties to Alzheimer’s disease.

And even if we have challenges or are going for treatments; the odds are in our favour.

Medical research, growing awareness, and a cli-

mate of open sharing have shown us we are not alone no matter what we face. Together we are stronger.

Next our inventory takes us to our friends and family, those people who despite knowing all our deepest, darkest, worst qualities love us anyway and will go to the wall for us. Naturally we reciprocate because we too want to be on someone’s blessing list.

These are the people who call us when we’re down, put their wellchosen words into cards, and take our side against a sometimes-cruel world. After good health is there anything more

vital to our well being than someone to love and someone to love us?

Didn’t think so.

If we allow ourselves to continue counting, we are grateful that we are not Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un. We are glad we can rail against the government without chaining ourselves to a tank or becoming target practice for the militia. We haven’t endured a lifetime of corrupt dictatorship where succession is guaranteed by bloodlines instead of elections.

We don’t need to cross deserts or board rickety boats to save ourselves and our families.

Finally, we thank our blessed life for the chances we get and keep getting to live, work, contribute, excel, and fulfill our potential. We can stumble, fall, flame out and start all over again; because no one is counting and there is no limit to fresh starts.

So when we feel sorry for ourselves because our foundation feels shaky or we’re nearly upended by a wave of disappointment, we can say a prayer for those who really suffer.

Then...breathing a whispered thank you might be a good idea, from where I sit.

Village of Chipman Fire Dept. hosts fundraiser ing supper on Saturday, February 20th at the Chipman National Hall.

Attendees also participated in the silent and live auction as well as Approximately 120 people broke enjoyed dancing to music during the bread together during the fifth annual family based affair. The mood was Chipman Fire Department’s fundrais- upbeat, and there were several touching moments throughout the evening. One of those moments were when Fire Chief Michael Seipert shared a message with the crowd, a message he said always pulls at his heart.

The message to one and all went: Oh you’re a firefighter, paramedic or EMT? That’s cool. I wanted to do that when I was a kid. What do you make? What do I make? I making holding your hand seem like the biggest thing in the world when I’m cutting you out of a car.

I make myself get out of bed at 3 a.m. to risk my life to save people I’ve never met.

Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save your life. I make a difference, what do you make?”

Seipert said he also wanted attendees to take into consideration that 95 percent of all fire department members are volunteers who dedicate and sacrifice for others to serve the com-

munity.

Seipert recognized the members of the fire department who were in attendance. One of the members, Frederic Petit, expressed his gratitude to Seipert, who has been on the department since September of 2004. Petit said Seipert is the heart of the fire department, and has given more than all of his heart to the department over the years. He asked for a big round of applause for Seipert, that was replied in earnest by attendees.

Covenant Health announces appointment of Ed Stelmach as board chair

By Bernie Poitras COVENANT HEALTH The way Ed Stelmach sees it; he owes a debt of gratitude to the Catholic Sisters for leaving a good impression on him at a very early age.

The newly-appointed Covenant Health Board Chair says the history and legacy of Catholic healthcare led him to his new position, announced at Covenant’s Annual General Meeting Oct. 21.

Stelmach replaces outgoing Board Chair John Brennan.

“Catholic health services are very dear to me simply because of how the Sisters became such a welcoming and very integral part of my life at a critical moment,” says Stelmach, former premier of Alberta.

“In grade one, I had a serious incident on a playground slide where I had a double fracture of my femur where the bone almost sticks out from the skin.”

Stelmach says his brother found him on the playground and he was brought to a hospital in Mundare under the Sisters’ care.”In the hospital, they put my leg in a brace with tape on either side, moved me into a six-person ward and that was a place I occupied for two months and then I stayed a while longer in a body cast,” says Stelmach.

Being of Ukrainian descent and not speaking English, Stelmach recalls there was no television, no kindergarten and no other interventions to keep a school-age patient occupied. “The Sisters took it upon themselves to teach me to read, speak English, teach arithmetic, and they assigned responsibilities to different patients in the ward – one patient read with

me, one fellow taught math to me,” says Stelmach.

“The Sisters did this solely on their volunteer time.

So forever, they played an integral part of my life.”

Ed Stelmach is the newly appointed chair of the Coventant Health Board.

Stelmach says the kind of support he remembers as a child is exactly the reason why Covenant Health is a vital part of Alberta’s healthcare system. He believes it is a compelling story that still has relevance today—for citizens of Alberta and for the

health care system that serves them.

“Not only did we play an integral role in putting the fabric of health care together in Alberta,” says Stelmach. “We can expand and support government today — not only in acute care and continuing care, but in mental health too.”

He also believes that in today’s world, people are looking for more from a healthcare provider than just medicine or treatment.

“My personal observation is that, in the face of a catastrophic event, a serious illness, an accident or a premature death in the family, people seek so much emotional support. As a faith based organization, Covenant Health is able to help heal the whole person – mind, body and soul,” says Stelmach. “It’s our culture, we grew up with it – that’s the Sisters legacy.”

He believes government needs partners like Covenant Health and others to ensure the long term sustainability of our system: “I am always convinced that, while government sets direction, they do need partners to help. Government can’t do it alone and will never be able to do it alone.”

“The story of Catholic healthcare is a story of faith, courage, compassion and astute leadership,” says Stelmach. ‘It’s not a story of religion or politics.”

“I care very deeply about this history and the values the Sisters have,” says Stelmach. “I don’t know how I would have fared if I didn’t have them – I was and am forever grateful.”

In his post-government days, Stelmach continues to serve as a board member for a few organizations and along with his wife, Marie, stays active in the Mundare Catholic community. He also does a bit of farming and keeps up with his seven grandkids.

Bruderheim Aikido Club reaches new milestones Michelle Pinon Editor

Benjamin Pretty is a very determined and focused young man. Those qualities, as well as strength, intensity, and perseverance are what made him earn the rank of Shodan, (first level of Black Belt), on Saturday, February 13th.

Pretty is the first student in the 14 year history of the On Kon Dojo Martial Arts Association in Bruderheim to earn such a rank. It was a great accomplishment for the 17-year-old, who spent the past 18 months training three to four days per week on and off the mats. It was also a great accomplishment for Sensei David Kai, who has been guiding and teaching Ben for the past seven years. “Ben has dedicated thousands of hours to get where he is.

There are a number of students in the dojo that put in hundreds of hours a year in mentoring time,” stated Sensei Kai.

Besides the practical component of the exam, Ben had to research and write a paper that was submitted to Kai Sensei and to the California Aikido Association.

“It has been an intense time for us with hard work and a great deal of dedication from the entire family through supporting the form of traveling to Edmonton to train weekly, driving to Calgary on Thanksgiving weekend to take in another seminar with a visiting Sensei from Japan as well as ensuring Ben always had partners (Uke) to train with,” stated Ben’s mom Katrina.

In fact, Katrina is the secretary of the local association, while her husband Ted serves as president.

They have three other boys, (Elijah, Nate, and Sam), who are also heavily invested in Aikido. “All members of our family are on their own path to a Shodan demo someday. Some are closer than others, but, we have made Aikido a part of our life and our family’s growth. So yes, I think we all have

aspirations to achieve our Shodan in the future.”

February 13th was also a special day for Sensei Kai, who received a certificate from Sensei Cyndy Hayashi, that allows him to operate any dojo, and it will be recognized by Japan as an official dojo.

Sensei Kai, is now a Sandan (3rd Degree Blackbelt), and says Ben has taken over a lot of the teaching in Bruderheim, and is doing an excellent job of building the mentoring program there.

Shortly after being presented his black belt by Sensei Kai, Ben was saying how good it felt to have earned the rank. Surrounded by family and friends, Ben was congratulated by one and all following his examination. While he was a little bit nervous about the exam, which lasted approximately 25 minutes, he also said afterwards that it was a little bit of good fun, and looks forward to many more years ahead practicing and mentoring other Aikido students.

Sensei Hayashi demonstrates a technique with one of the seminar participants.

Burderheim Air Monitoring Station soon to be moved SUBMITTED ARTICLE Fort Air Partnership’s continuous air monitoring station in Bruderheim is moving to make way for new commercial development in the town centre.

The station will remain in town though, moving to a location just north of Bruderheim School on 48 Street, about 650 metres from its present location.

The move is scheduled to be made on Tuesday, March 1. The Town of Bruderheim is generously providing the new site without lease costs to Fort Air Partnership, a not-for-profit air monitoring society, and working closely with FAP to organize the move.

Power disruption, equipment recalibration, and other issues associated with the move will interrupt data collection for about three days,” advised Nadine Blaney, Executive Director. She noted they are working closely with town officials and contractors to minimize down time and that provincial government officials have been notified.

The Bruderheim station has been part of Fort Air Partnership’s air monitoring network since 2010. The station collects data on nine substances including sulphur dioxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, total hydrocarbons, non-methane hydrocarbons, methane, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter, as well as weather information. This data enables a current and forecast Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) to be calculated for the local area.

As a public service, AQHI readings for Bruderheim and stations in Lamont County, Fort Saskatchewan and Elk Island National Park are posted on

www.fortair.org.

The public can also access a near real time live date feed on the website for any substance tracked by the airshed’s continuous air monitoring stations.

Fort Air Partnership monitors the air local residents breathe in and around Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

The collection and reporting on substances that affect air quality is transparent, guided by an expert scientific advisory group, and driven by national and provincial standards.

Bruderheim School students lace up for fun and fitness Michelle Pinon Editor

Thanks

to

Sport

Central, students from Bruderheim School have been able to take to the ice this season.

Sport Central, a nonprofit Edmonton based charity, was able to donate 40 pairs of skates

and 50 helmets to the elementary school students.

Principal Jeff Huculak says the equipment

belongs to the students, and he has been encouraging students to get out and skate and have fun

when they are not skating during the school program. “It’s been fantastic for our school and our community,” adds Huculak.

Kristi Rounding, Executive Assistant with Sport Central, says they are more than happy to provide the gently used equipment at no charge to the students. In fact, the non-profit group has helped more than 125,000 kids in need since 1991. Rounding says the non-profit organization supply equipment for more than 13 different sports. “We bring new life to old equipment. Volunteers repair equipment, save bicycle parts as well as skates and helmuts.”

One of the organization’s founding partners is United Cycle. There are several other drop off locations throughout the City of Edmonton as well as St. Albert and Sherwood Park. Right now, Rounding says they have an over abundance of equipment, and encourages teachers to make referrals directly to Sport Central.

Males Order Brides will keep you in stitches Michelle Pinon Editor

If you’re looking for hysterical fun then look no further than the Chipman Players upcoming Community Dinner Theatre Males Order Brides that will have three consecutive performances on March 5, 12 and 19th at the Chipman National Hall.

Kieron Willis, President of the Chipman Players, says the play will keep you in

stitches. She describes the play as a hysterical historical melodrama” where the evil villain hires an actress to play four mail order brides for four unknowing bachelors of an old west mining town. “But after our heroine captures the eye of the hero with a little ribbon and lace and a bunch of soap, the villains plan goes south.”

This is the sixth season for the Chipman Players, and Willis says the play is a return to the troupe’s

beginning as their first performance was a melodrama set in the old west. “The plays we choose or try to choose are light hearted, and allow our audience an escape for day to day toils that are harder to take at this time of year when we are all anxious for spring.

One new addition to the cast this year will be Jason McDougall. He will join returning favourites Bruce McGregor, Fred

Pewarchuk, Tom Hrehorets, Keiron Willis, Joyce Dobirstein, Bethany Brandon, Carol Stripling, and Gwynne Hayward. While the stars get all of the attention, Willis says that without the group of dedicated individuals working behind the scenes they never would be able to put on a production of this size or scale. “A couple that should be mentioned is June Lambkin, who often does the curtains and

lights for us, Doug Mansoff our sound crew, Roberta Seiben, our make up artist, and of course, our wonderful audiences that make it possible for us to come out and play!”

Willis says the biggest challenge is the amount of time and commitment it takes learning lines, figuring out set layouts, organizing promotions, food, seating, and ticket sales. But she adds, “I think the group would agree with me when I

say that it’s all worth it the moment our audience laughs for the first time each night.”

This will be the first time the Chipman Players have provided transportation from the Andrew, Mundare, and Lamont Seniors Lodges for the opening night special gala event.

Interested parties are to contact Willis directly.

Members of the Lamont Pee Wee Hawks have raised more than $1,000 for the annual Hair Massacure event in support of the Stollery Childrens Hospital Foundation and Make A Wish Northern Alberta.

Landowner Oil & Gas Information Workshop Thursday, March 3, 2016 9 am ʹ 3 pm Heartland Hall, Strathcona County ( 55305 Rge Rd 214/ south of Hwy 15 on Hwy 830 ) Lamont County and Strathcona County are co-sponsoring a Workshop for area landowners to gain information on oil and gas on their lands. Workshop topics will include how surface rights work on behalf of the landowner, surface documents, bankrupt companies, Orphan Well Fund, Surface Rights Board and the AER Liability fund, and riparian reclamation issues.

MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS Marilyn Enns shaved Chandler Burbackʼs head in the dressing room while teammate Hunter Neufeld looked on after Thursday nightʼs practice. The Lamont Pee Wee Hawks have their own Fundraising page on the Hair Massacure website, and donations are still being accepted. Enns son, Matthew, participated in Hair Massacure last year as part of the Bruderheim school team. Matthewʼs hockey friends and some parents expressed an interest in doing the fundraiser this year, and so his mom organized a team online. Marilyn said the team donated 100 per cent of its home game 50/50 draws back into the fundraiser, which netted $300 of the teamʼs total. The rest of the money has been raised by individual team members and parents.

This is a free Workshop for participants, but you must register for the event. There will be a lunch provided.
