Liquor store broken into again, owner upset about monthly robberies MAUREN SULLIVAN Just a month after the last break in, the Sunshine Liquor Store in Lamont was hit again. Mark Lee was informed by his alarm company at 4:20 a.m. on July 15, that a break in was occurring at his store. The store was robbed only a month ago on June 12, 2019. The robbery was very similar to the last one, with three unknown individuals backing into the store with a stolen truck. While the thieves were
caught on surveillance tape, they wore masks to prevent identification. The perpetrators went right to the liquor they wanted and loaded it into the vehicle and took off. Lee was understandably upset and angry. "The contractor was just out on Friday to measure up for the new security door, they were supposed to come today to install it," said Lee. "Why is this town not doing something about the thefts that keep happening. They are happy
to take my property tax, but what am I getting for it? "This is the third time I have been broken into, I have yet to see anyone from the town come in and talk to me about this. "Why is there an office for the RCMP in town, but no one is ever there? How about a Citizen's Patrol Group? This town needs to do something!" Fort Saskatchewan RCMP are currently investigating this incident. The Sunshine Liquor Store in Lamont, was broken into for the third time since opening. This break in comes just four weeks after the last one.

Opinion Due to prison costs, maybe we should reconsider punishments The question of who goes to prison, and who does not, is an interesting one in Canada. There are presently 40,000 people in Canadian prisons at a cost to taxpayers of around $67,000 per jailbird - or $2.7 billion annually. I know it seems like a lot, and it is, but some 27 million people in Canada file tax returns and so it works out to be about $100 for each and every one of us to keep Canadian prisons functioning. That seems pretty cheap to keep your Clifford Olson, Paul Bernardo or Russell Williams types away from harming the public. I think we can all agree that psychotic murderers belong right there behind bars, but who else deserves to join them? Is it just violent offenders? Do thieves?, fraudsters? tax evaders? and other white collar criminals belong in prison? Personally, I think we could save a lot of money if sentencing for non-violent criminals was more focused on redemption and rehabilitation. I would suggest that we keep prisons for violent offenders only. Thieves without weapons, once caught, could be given penalties like repayment through public service work along with house arrest, curfews, self-help classes and ankle monitors checked regularly by parole officers. White collar crimes like tax evasion or money laundering would require repayment, strict monitoring and excessive reporting of all future dealings. We could hire a lot of police, parole officers, and social workers with the tens of millions we would save not having to support non-violent offenders within a jail cell. Not that there is really that much crime in Canada, though that is simply in comparison with other nations. In Canada you have roughly a six percent chance of experiencing a crime against you in any given year and only a one percent chance of having a violent crime committed against you, depending of course on lifestyle choices. Although that sounds like a pretty low number, over a one year period in Canada there are more than two million crimes committed; some 600 murders, 26,000 sexual assaults, almost 10,000 assaults on police officers, 21,000 robberies, over 100,000 frauds, nearly 100,000 B & E and/or robberies and vehicle thefts; 200,000 assaults, 92,000 drug violations, 68,000 impaired driving charges and many more considering only one-third of crimes in Canada are ever reported. Although there are over 60,000 police officers in Canada, that’s only one for a population of roughly 600 citizens. That ratio is one of the lowest in the civilized world - comparable to only Japan and Sweden. The US, Germany and many other countries have a police officer for every 300 400 people. I am certain with a more Libertarian approach to sentencing, we could recirculate taxpayers’ money into more enforcement, rehabilitation and redemption. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader unhappy with county public works response to his land issues After reading your front page article on Road Repairs by John Mather (June 26, 2019), I decided to write to inform you of my problems with Lamont County Works. The flood of 2018 caused a lot of damage at my acreage. Because there are not enough drainage culverts on Township Rd. 552, my land was flooded during the quick melt. The ice on my creek took out my pasture fence, tore out willows and eventually plugged the culverts under 552. My phone call to Public Works in 2018 got them out to clean up the mess, but they did not remove the blockages along my fence line or remove the piles of dirt and branches
that were all over the ditch. As a result beavers moved in and I ended up with two, three to four-foot-high dams on my property. Numerous calls to public works yielded no response with respect to removing the piles of branches and dirt on county land. This spring was almost a repeat of last spring. My land is still flooded. Public Works has been out to remove all the trees that I pulled out of the mud this spring, ( I think drivers on the road saw me working every day to get water to drain into the culverts. Thank you.) Their second time out they finally contoured the road allowance for better visual appearance.
I now need them to come out again, to remove the ridge and then go down into the culverts. Public Works staff said they would come out and blow up the three foot high dam that's blocking the creek, so that the eight foot wide stream of water through my calf pen will go back into the creek bed. That was a month ago. Maybe 2020 will be the year. I wonder when I put my claim in for the lost pasture rental - do I send it to the head of Public Works, my zone councillor, or the head of Lamont Council? I wonder who should be fired first?

FROM WHERE I SIT: So Much Sense
BY HAZEL ANAKA When we knew we’d have to replace the wallto-wall carpeting in our rental duplex, we bought 700 square feet (plus
waste) of vinyl laminate. The timing was never ideal to rip up the rug and underlay and install the new flooring with a tenant in the place, with us living an hour away, with the busyness of the summer and the chill of the winter, no desire to do it ourselves, and no idea who to hire. So, we did nada. I’m not by nature a procrastinator. Yet, this time doing nothing was exactly the right thing to do. We decided to put the property on the market last spring. Our real-
tor advised us to save time and money by leaving the floors as is. Changing the flooring wouldn’t necessarily help get a sale. Often, the buyer wants to make those choices themselves. The first showing resulted in a sale. We were happy except for the umpteen cases of flooring that had been sitting in a truck bed in the garage for more than a year. It was far too late to return it to the store and it wasn’t enough to use in our own reno/addi-
Hemp crop weathers rain, plant construction slowed
BY JOHN MATHER While the wet weather has hampered construction of the Canadian Rockies Hemp Corporation’s plant in Bruderheim, CEO Aaron Barr is still optimistic for a very successful first year. “Hemp doesn’t like to get wet feet,” said Boone. “But that’s right when it’s planted. If it’s able to get established past three to four inches then it’s generally OK in wetter conditions” “Fortunately, most of our farmers got their seed in fairly early so our crops are doing really well now.” He said the smaller crops they have under contract are two feet tall and some of the taller crops are approaching seven feet tall. He added there is about another five weeks of growing season left before harvest starts in Aug. “If we get some sun now, which it looks like is starting to happen, it could almost be a picture perfect harvest this year.” “It is a weed at the end of the day so it can survive in some pretty harsh conditions.” Barr chuckles when he says company officials did their rain dance for the crops but not for the decortation plant construction. “We’re probably a good month behind,” he said. “We were planning
for an October 1 start date but now we’ve had to set that back.” While rain had hindered construction, Barr adds, the company also had to have a perfect storm water management plan in place to satisfy the town of Bruderheim, local neighbours and Alberta Environment. “That took longer than we thought because the town already had some flooding issues in that area. “ He said they have come up with a plan which everyone is happy with. “We’re not looking at putting just one building on that site in the long haul,” he said. “So we have to do some extensive earthworks.” He said the parcel is being recontoured for both site development and storm water management so a lot of planning and design work had to be done. “The plan is to have four different ponds out there,” said Barr. “Two of them are for storm water retention, while the other two are for fire suppression. We are going to have quite a bit of water
storage on the property which will help the town with flooding issues.” With the bumper crop of hemp being expected, Barr states the land is OK for crop storage. “There’s a high point on the land that we’ve planned for since the start to use as bale storage,” said Barr. “As long as the ground is dry hemp can be stored outside and it won’t rot. Farmers will start bringing in their bales in September and once the plant is open we’ll start processing it.” Barr said the plant site design allows them enough space for about 10,000 bales and when the plant starts full operation in November they will be used as needed. He said there will always be a surplus of bales on the site. He added the far eastern section of the parcel of land will be used for storing the different types of hemp, while the plant will be built to the north of the storage area. “The bales will be stacked and organized and about a month or two later we’ll start processing the crop.”
tion project. So, it sat for another year. I wasn’t about to try to sell it at a garage sale or online and take a beating on the price in the process. Instead, this week it’ll be installed by someone other than Roy and Hazel in one of our new basement additions. It’s too much for that job but not enough for both sides. Getting the cases into the house a week or so ago to acclimatize was a real back breaker. But we used the tractor bucket, slipped them through a basement window, and then dollied them to where they’re needed. I am so looking for-
ward to having the job done. It will add some cushioning to a concrete floor. It will be a bright, finished area. It will be furnished and decorated as a specific work space for me. Nothing too precious. Just another organized, functional space to allow for ‘beefier’ projects that don’t belong in my office or on the kitchen island. It will allow for longer term work without the need to ‘clean up’ at the end of the day. It will allow me to finally corral all ‘like’ items and supplies in the same vicinity instead of having things scattered in nooks, crannies, and
even other buildings. The downside of the nook and cranny system is that you soon lose track of what you have or where it might be when you finally want to use it. As someone who’s lived (far too long) in a small home and now in a much larger one, I’m a believer in the idea of having a logical place for things. Cleaning is easier. Time is saved not looking high and low for things. Feng shui is better. There is space to breathe. Best of all, using what you already have makes so much sense, from where I sit.

SUMMER SIZZLER RODEO A HUGE HIT IN LAMONT
Cowhands rush to distract a bull before it can crush a cowboy who has just been thrown from the mount. Wranglers waiting to prepare the next rider watch anxiously from above the chutes.
The bird house building in the kids area was a big hit. The Lamont Fish and Game sponsored booth was always busy. The association reported it helped young people build 110 birdhouses during the two-day event.

MAUREEN SULLIVAN AND JOHN MATHER The dirt was flying at the Lamont Ag Society's Summer Sizzler Rodeo presented by Straitline on July 13 - 14. Both Saturday and Sunday turned out bright and warm for the event. The first day began with the Kids Fun Rodeo, where they got to ride a mutton and participate in chuckwagon races. The rodeo performance took place both Saturday and Sunday. There was also a steak supper and dance. "It was the best dance we had in recent years. I had a lot of people come up and comment on how good it was," said Shelly Loren of the organizing committee. At the Combine Crunch the winner was Matt Hoculak who walked away with $1,400. The audience really enjoyed the show on both days. Sunday started off with a pancake breakfast, followed by the Rodeo Slack and the Rodeo Performance. The day ended with the combine crunch. The Kids Fun and Safety Zone included a bouncy house, pony rides, a petting zoo, sand pit and safety displays. The Bird House Building sponsored by the Lamont Fish and Game was always busy. There were crafts and games, fire truck tours, face painting and balloon animals. "We had phenomenal weather, it was perfect. KG Enterprises were a great help. They were out before the rodeo sucking up water so that the stock pen areas were dry for the rodeo, they also cut the grass," said Loren. The full results at the Rodeo were: Bareback - 1) Justin Randall, with a score of 74; 2/3) Allen Fletcher and Colton McKinney. Saddle Bronc - 1) Mark O Dempsy, with a score of 72; 2) Cody Lane.

Reading is magical this summer at county libraries MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Lamont County libraries in Bruderheim, Lamont, Andrew and Mundare have started the summer reading programs with the message that reading is magical. Magician, Steve Harmer agrees and is performing at each of the county libraries this summer. Harmer, a former principal and teacher from
Calgary, uses magic to teach the kids the lesson of good emotional and mental health with the "Be a bucket filler" magic show. According to Harmer everyone is born with invisible buckets that need to be filled with kind words and acts of kindness. Filling other people’s buckets helps to fill our own buckets or the more you help others the more you help your-
self. Each of the libraries are running the summer reading program all summer, where children between the ages of six to twelve can come and play games, do crafts, read and have fun. In Bruderheim, Harmon performed his magic on July 4 and the reading program is on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. In Lamont, the summer reading program is
on Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 - 3:00, Harmon will be performing on August 14, at 2:00 p.m. In Andrew the summer reading program is on Tuesday nights, and Harmon performed his magic on July 9. In Mundare the library is having Harmon perform on August 27. They have programs every other Tuesday for the preschool children.

Day trips in Lamont County: Bruderheim MAUREEN SULLIVAN It's time for a staycation, to experience what is right in our own backyard. This week we look at the Town of Bruderheim, translated from German as Home of the Brethren. Tracing its origins to Scotsman and rancher William Leslie, who in
1892 had a homestead on the present town site, he operated a store from his cabin on the Victoria Trail. He perished in a fire that destroyed his store in 1905, but the completion of the Canadian National Railway that same year brought a post office, bank and other business-

es to the town. The district was heavily settled in 1894 by Moravian German immigrants from the Ukrainian province of Volhynia, then part of Russia. The Reverend Andreas Lilge, was responsible for convincing his countrymen to come to Canada. Lilge
subsequently joined the Lutheran church, and the two churches that began it all, border the east and west sides of downtown. Experience Bruderheim's cultural and natural history by walking, running or cycling the Bruderheim Heritage Trail Route, which links neighbourhoods and sce-

Day trip to Bruderheim Continued from Page 12 Five native plant beds were constructed to reflect the major vegetation types that existed in the Bruderheim area prior to settlement, such as Aspen Parkland and Prairie Grassland. Interpretive signs within the plant beds detail the importance of native plants and the major vegetation types represented. The Spring Creek Wetland Interpretive Centre overlooks the wetland and native plant beds. Six interpretive panels detail the importance of wetlands and the wildlife that use them, and display a number of childrens’ drawings from the Bruderheim School. The base of the structure is recycled tire Pour-inPlace surfacing, adding
another positive environmental element to the area. It can be found behind the town office at the east end of 51 Ave. Queen's Park can be found at the south end of Queen Street. On August 2, 1978, Bruderheim was honoured with a 10 minute scheduled visit from the Queen of England. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by Prince Philip, was making her tour by train to officially open the Commonwealth Games in Edmonton. In preparation for the occasion, Bruderheim's CNR station site was developed into 'Queen's Park', and Main Street was renamed 'Queen Street'. Heritage signs in the park give visual depictions of the town's history. The Gazebo often hosts an impromptu musical concert on Thursday evenings. The Walker School Museum was originally a four room schoolhouse built in 1908 of brick veneer and was considered to be quite modern

at the time. When a fire destroyed the school in December of 1927, a new school was built on the same site. The school is a designated Provincial Historical Resource and serves as a museum. The school is comprised of two buildings that have been joined together, the original two and a half story wood frame building, and attached to the north side of the building is the former Hilliard School moved onto the site in 1971. The heritage value of the Walker School in Bruderheim lies chiefly in its architectural significance as a fine example of early twentieth-century rural school design in Alberta. The addition of the Hilliard School also gives the site significance as a representation of the trend towards consolidation of rural schools which was required by changing rural demographics. The school is open for tours on Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. and can be found at
the end of Queen Street and 52 Ave. The Bruderheim Meteorite fell to earth at 1:06 a.m. on March 4, 1960, traveling at 42 kms per second. The shockwave was audible over 5,000 square miles. Shards of the stone rained down just north of Bruderheim, some forming pits as deep as 30 centimetres, many rebounding off the frozen ground and landing on the snow. Nearly 700 meteorite fragments were found with a total weight of over 660 pounds—making it the largest recovered fall in Canadian history. Most pieces found were eventually acquired by the University of Alberta, some of which were later traded and distributed to museums and research facilities around the world. You can see the Bruderheim Meteorite on display in the Bruderheim Fire Hall Learn about the Moravian Church in Western Canada at the
Canadian Moravian Museum, housed in the original 1896 log church on Hwy 45. Established in 1895 by Germans from Volhynia, Russia the Congregation, it became the centre of spiritual life in what became known as the The Canadian Moravian Church of Canada. These early residents were instrumental in establishing schools in the area and provided a German school on Saturday so their children might retain their mother-tongue. Open by appointment, call 780436-8190. On the east side of town at the Community Park is a brand-new skate park, which is not open at the time of this printing, but will be soon.
Bruderheim is home to the Studio 6 Hotel – the largest structure of its kind in North America built out of 80 steel shipping containers (seacans). Nature can be explored at the North Bruderheim Provincial Recreation Area located north of town. Off-Highway vehicles can be used in the sand dunes, but there are no marked trails, daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Adjacent land is privately owned and is subject to fines if used.
