Town of Lamont councillor rescinds residency motion Michelle Pinon Editor
While members of Lamont town council may have had the best of intentions in mind when it made a motion to allow Coun. Debra Dunsmore to remain on council while residing outside the town limits; the man who made the motion back on May 23, rescinded the motion during last Tuesday’s regular council meeting. Councillor Doug Pewarchuk made a motion to rescinded Motion 71/17 stating that while council’s hearts and minds were in the right place, they (members), had “clear-

ly made a collective mistake” allowing the motion to pass. According to rules under the Municipal Government Act, (MGA), “Council does not have the authority to pass a resolution permitting a candidate to contravene provincial legislation, or in other words, to pass a motion stating the Local Authorities Election Act does not apply and a councillor may live outside the municipality.” Coun. Pewarchuk also noted the exemplary service Coun. Dunsmore had provided during her time on town council.
What we’re REALLY excited about is being the title sponsor for the Lamont Rodeo on July 21, 22 and we hope to see

Opinion Ten things that will disappear in our lifetime When it comes to technology I often refer to myself as a bit of a dinosaur But like it or not, technology plays an integral role in our schooling, work, culture, lifestyle and how we socialize. Extinction is a scary prospect, but it seems on many different levels pretty much inevitable. I think that’s because the world is at our fingertips through immediate access via the internet. Our phones can do as much or more than the typical computer. Everything you want to know is a swipe, scroll or command away. An email came the other day which confirmed most of what I was thinking. The piece was titled: 10 things that will disappear in our lifetime. They included: 1) The Post Office - Get ready to imagine a world without the post office. They are so deeply in
financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, FedEx, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills. 2) The Cheque - Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with the cheque by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process cheques. Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the cheque. This plays right into the death of the post office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business. 3) The Newspaper The younger generation simply doesn’t read the newspaper. They certainly don’t subscribe to a daily delivered print edi-
tion. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services. 4) The Book - You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hands and turn the literal pages. I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD. But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get the latest albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music. The same thing will happen with books.
5) The Land Line Telephone - Unless you have a large family and make a lot of calls, you don’t need it anymore. Most people keep it simply because they’ve always had it. 6) Music - The music industry is dying a slow death. Not just because of illegal downloading. It’s the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it. Over 40 per cent of the music purchased today is “catalogue items,” meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with. 7) Television Revenues - People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers, iPads, cell phones. They want to choose what to watch when they want online and through Netflix. 8) The Things That You Own - Many of the very possessions that we used
to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in “the cloud.” Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies and documents. In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That’s the good news. But, will you actually own any of this “stuff” or will it be able to disappear at any moment in a big “Poof?” 9) Joined Handwriting (Cursive Writing) Already gone in some schools who no longer teach “joined handwriting” because nearly everything is done now on computers or keyboards of some type (pun not intended). 10) Privacy - If there ever was a concept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be
privacy. That’s gone. It’s been gone for a long time anyway. There are cameras on the street, in most buildings, and even built into your computer and cell phone. But you can be sure that 24/7 “They” know who you are and where you are, right down to the GPS coordinates, and the Google Street View. If you buy something, your habit is put into a zillion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits. “They” will try to get you to buy something else. Again and again and again. All we will have left that can’t be changed…are our “Memories.” At least I can take a measure of comfort from that as I go along the technology and time continuum. Michelle Pinon
Letter to the Editor
Conservative unification merger raises questions Dear Editor, I worry that Alberta’s conservative parties will lose too much in the process of unifying. Every party wants to win and unifying two parties worked well for the federal Conservatives, at least in terms of winning elections. But many former federal Progressive Conservatives claim that, while the former Alliance/Reform Party had promised a merger of ideas, what actually happened was a takeover and the annihilation of the party they had believed in. There is evidence to suggest that Jason Kenney is doing exactly the same thing in Alberta. Last November, news media reported that his leadership campaign brought in busloads of young people—most of whom were not even party members until they were signed up at the door—to partici-
pate in the annual general meeting for the PC Youth Association (which appoints 20 of the delegates who would later vote at the leadership convention). This might not be cheating, technically, but it felt less than honest and open to many party members. During this same event, some of Kenney’s campaign treated two female leadership candidates so badly that they dropped out of the race. Sandra Jansen and Donna Kennedy-Glans, both respected and experienced politicians whose ideas warranted being heard, were harassed, slandered with truly vile language, and driven out. Does this sound like a party willing to engage in respectful dialogue and negotiation? Whenever a party stoops to less than open and honest tactics, it’s because they either 1) don’t actually believe in
their platform, or 2) don’t trust voters to make the right choice. Why else would a party risk its integrity? While it might make sense to unify in order to win elections, no party can win if it compromises its core beliefs. And it’s worth remembering what can happen when a party sticks to its guns, believes in its platform, and trusts the voters. The federal Liberals came from being the third party to a majority government simply because people believed in them. Just lately, the BC Greens took a lot of heat from other parties for potentially splitting the vote. But the Greens didn’t have enough in common with any other party to join them: Greens are far more fiscally conservative than NDP, and far more environmentally conservative than BC Liberals. BC Greens ran on their own merit — and now they hold

the balance of power. Democracy isn’t just about winning. It’s about intelligent and informed debate, giving voters a wide range of policy options to choose from, then respecting voter choice. If the differences between Progressive Conservatives and Wild Rose are small, then unification is a great idea. But if party members abandon their core values just to win the election, that shows a lack of confidence in their beliefs, disregard for democratic process and disrespect for voters...and then who are we left to choose from?

Krakow Ukrainian Catholic Church celebrates centenary
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
An estimated 225 people attended the centennial of the Ruthenian Catholic Church of Zawale on Sunday, July 16. The church, located on four acres of land, was purchased by Nykola Stelmach, Kasimir Lamash, Myron Koroluk, Hawrylo Yakimisshyn and Polko Wicentowich in 1911 and it was officially incorporated in 1917. That same year a 24ʼX18ʼ building previously used as a “Chytania” (Cultural Centre), was purchased for $600 and moved four miles by eight horses and sets of sleighs to the present site. In 1931, a cement foundation was built under the church as well as an 8ʼX12ʼ sacristy, double entry doors and a second window with coloured panes. In 1933 a National Hall was built on two acres of land across from the church, and used for a variety of religious and cultural activities. In 1938 Rev. Andrew Truch OSBM organized a branch of the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood of Canada. Ed Stelmach stated: “This well maintained church and cemetary are a tribute to the trials and hardships of the pioneers, to our faith in God, and may this be continued by our next generation.

Lamont pharmacist retires after 52 years of service SUBMITTED ARTICLE On June 30th a familiar, friendly face, Mary Anne Bilan decided it was time to pass her keys from Lamont Value Drug Mart over to her son and daughter, Robert and Cathy, as the new owners of Lamont Value Drug Mart. Mary Anne is retiring after serving Lamont and the community for over thirty years. Mary Anne was born and raised in Edmonton. Her older brother recommended that she go into pharmacy when she graduated from high school. She actually started working in pharmacies as a cashier when she was in high school. She graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor Degree in Pharmacy in 1965. She was only 20 years old so she had to wait until she was 21 to be licensed. She started her career in Edmonton in community pharmacy and that is where she met her future husband Bill. They were married on November 9, 1968. This was when their partnership began and they had various pharmacies in Edmonton before they decided to move to Ross Creek in 1973 where Bill had grown up. Even though Bill was a pharmacist as well, his passion was, and still is, farming. They opened Vegreville Value Drug Mart in 1979. Next they then opened Lamont Value Drug Mart in 1984. It was on the farm that Mary Anne and Bill
started a family. They welcomed three sons, (Larry, Trevor and Robert), and daughter Cathy. Bill was working six days a week at one point while Mary Anne stayed with the children. She would work holidays and weekends. They kept their children active in the community with activities such as hockey, Ukrainian dancing, figure skating, 4-H, and softball. As her children grew up and moved out Mary Anne found herself in the pharmacies more, especially in Lamont. They sold Vegreville Value Drug Mart in 1998. Mary Anne was able to spend her time solely in Lamont at this point and it became her time to work six days a week in the pharmacy. In 2005 two of Mary Anne’s children, Robert and Cathy, graduated from the University of Alberta in Pharmacy. Mary Anne never pressured the children to follow her career path. She just wanted her children to do what made them happy. Since 2005 Robert and Cathy have been working casually in Lamont and then moved on to full time. This year Mary Anne decided that it was finally time to retire. It created space for her to spend more time with her family, garden, read and enjoy the slower pace. But don’t be surprised if you see her stopping into the pharmacy to say hello. She has enjoyed her 52 years as a pharmacist.

They know they have big shoes to fill, but look forward to carrying on the commitment to the community. Please feel free to come and sign or write your sentiments in a message book that will be gifted to Mary Anne.
Mary Anne said “it has been a privilege to serve the community for over 30 years. I would like to thank the fine medical staff at the Lamont Health Care Centre. We are so fortunate to have this health care facility to serve our community. I would like to thank the community for giving meaning to my life. And it has been a pleasure working with the staff over the years who have

10 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, July 18, 2017
On Holy Ground Hundreds expected to worship and celebrate 120 years of Orthodoxy in Canada Michelle Pinon Editor
More than 100 people are expected to gather on the same site of the first recorded Orthodox Divine Liturgy in Canada on Sunday, July 23 at 9:30 a.m. Two of those people will be two-year-old Theodore Bryks, great, great, great grandson and his sister four-yearold Tessa, great, great, great granddaughter of Kost Nemirsky who came to Canada with his brother Theodore and their mother Maria Magdalena in 1896. The site, just over three acres in size, is located three miles south of Highway 45 on Range Road 182. “Every year we have a service here as close to July 18 as possible,” said Candace, as July 18, 1897 was the date of the first Divine Liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church that was con-
ducted by Reverend Dimitri Kamnev and Deacon Vladimir Alexandrov on the historic and holy site which was the original homestead yard of Theodore and Katherine Nemirsky. Their late son Elias and his wife Helen donated the parcel of land in memory of Theodore and Katherine prior to the 100th anniversary on Sunday, July 27, 1997. Inscribed on the cairn that was blessed and dedicated by His Grace Mark Bishop Kashira, Administrator of Patriarchal Parishes in Canada, are Elias and Helen’s names. Candace was excited to share the news that for this 120th anniversary His Grace Anthony Bishop of Bogorodsk, Head of the Foreign Institutions of the Russian Orthodox Church, would be presiding at the Divine Liturgy along with His Grace, Iov, Bishop of
Limestone Creek
Mary Magdalena
Kashira, Administrator of the Patriarchal Parishes of Canada. She was enthusiastic to share that what is believed to be the original mass book will be used by the clergy during the open air Divine Liturgy. The book dates back to 1880 and Candace was fortunate enough to purchase it during an estate auction. Theodore Nemirsky was dedicated to writing down his thoughts and factual information in a journal, which is now in the Provincial Archives of Alberta. One of those entries in that journal stated: “In the spring, 6 April 1896, we started from home for Canada. Our family consisted of nine persons: I, Mother, brother Kost, Maria his wife and his children Wasel, Paraska, Alexander, Panko and Ivan. That sixth April was Easter Friday before 7 April Blessing Festival 1896.”
On May 22, 1896 he wrote: “Nevertheless on 22 May 1896, we revived on the farms, not knowing the boundaries of each farm, but, more or less, all knew where they should be found. So we landed on some river where there was flowing water. That was on a Friday before Green Holidays and after we examined it we found it was on the boundary NE 1/4, Section 21, and NW farm, Section 22, 56, 18, 4. The stream flowed from NW farm, section 22 near an iron marker on the south. This was water from melting snow. After the snow melting ceased, this ravine dried up and although it seemed to us that this water had flowed from spring. Here we slept under naked sky and next day started to look about to see where we were and search for the markers (survey markets - SPK) which the engineers put
"These missionaries had not yet conducted a Holy Service in Canada. On my homestead SE 1/4 22, 56, 18 W4M, the Holy Service was conducted under the naked sky under an erected cross, built of wood by Wasel Statsko, while I carved the message "In memory of the passing of the Galicians from the Uniates (Greek Catholics) to the Eastern Orthodox Faith, 6 July 1897". "That spot I treasure, venerate, as Holy. Though I have not as yet placed a more worthy monument on that spot, still I continue to hope that God will inspire such a mission in the souls of good people, and that we shall raise a fitting tribute to God's Holy Word and Orthodoxy in Canada. At the first service of the Lord our whole people had gathered and at that time, and there, was a procession of about 380 souls, all united together in Orthodoxy." Theodore Nemirsky
in while surveying. And from those markers to determine the boundaries and recognize the farm sites. We stayed on this stream about a week when we knew where each person’s farm was, then all moved on to his own.” That first winter Theodore sheltered with his 60-year-old mother near his brother Kost’s, and that first summer he built a wood house. “So in the spring of 1897 I erected a ‘buda’, a shelter, covered with hay and further continued to work on the house. I was aided by Ivan Halka, Ivan Lakusta and Fred Rudik, in return for which I worked for them. In addition, I hired Joseph Dzwenko paying him 40 cents a day, which was the going rate amongst us then.” Fast forward to July 12, 2017 Jim Nemirsky stands beside Candace underneath the large open air pavillion which
was recently completed. If it is windy and rainy on July 23, Jim says he will wrap the posts with a transparent tarp so guests will be more sheltered from the elements. For years the family used tents for the Divine Liturgy, but this year it was decided to build a permanent shelter to better serve their needs. Normally they have a potluck dinner after the service, but this year they are giving the ladies a break, and having a refreshing lunch catered at the St. Michael Recreation Centre. Tickets are available in advance of the event for $25 per person. The upcoming milestone will not only go down in the history books of Lamont County, but all of Canada, and they couldn’t be prouder than to be members of the Nemirsky family and able to contribute to this special once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

12 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, July 18, 2017
OP-ED: Reshaping the way Canadians think about energy CALGARY, Alta./Troy Media/ The energy industry loves its acronyms. It’s only partially a joke that if you don’t hear a new acronym by 10 a.m., make one up and get it into circulation before lunch. But there’s an important new acronym: CRIN, or Clean Resource Innovation Network. It has no executive director, president or staff. It has no address or letterhead. No one has a CRIN business card. You won’t find it with a Google search. But it’s a network in the truest sense. And its challenges are significant and ambitious. Its objectives will positively reshape the way Canadians think about energy. And it will help the oil and gas sector overcome socio-political barriers that frustrate its attempts to build credibility with an increasingly disengaged and disillusioned population. CRIN’s mandate is to do what no one has done: synchronize the diverse clean-resource innovation nodes. CRIN can define the term ‘clean resources.’ The notion of clean resource development too often conjures up the converse: if this is clean, something else must be dirty. But resource cleanliness exists. We just haven’t been very good at defining that evolving cleanliness. Being clean in energy means to be constantly moving toward ever-cleaner goals. The proof dates back years. The resources sector is now drilling farther and faster horizontally and directionally than ever before, with accuracy. It’s challenging just to keep track of the oilsands innovation; from advances in hydro-transportation of bitumen to incredible achievements in thermal recovery that include enhanced solvent-based recovery and electromagnetic reservoir heating. New processes reduce emissions and produce upgraded product on site. The hundreds of
Bill Whitelaw achievements add up to global leadership in ever-cleaner hydrocarbon production that positively impacts air, water and land dynamics. So why don’t the public, politicians and activists know? Why aren’t they pointing with pride to oil and gas as an innovation system that fuels our economy and way of life? Why don’t post-secondary students consider energy careers? Why are investors often skittish about fossil-fuel opportunities? Because the industry hasn’t told the story well. CRIN can change that. It
can offer a compelling clean energy perspective that touches on economic diversification, community building and environmental sustainability. And CRIN can make the industry more attractive to investors, as a counterbalance to the anti-oil narratives of dirty energy. CRIN has a steering committee and various sub committees to coordinate and develop its activities. The talent on those groups is drawn from the Canadian Oil Sands Innovation Alliance, Petroleum Technology Alliance Canada, Energy Futures Lab and Innovate Calgary, to name a few. There are also leading companies (Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus and Suncor, for example) and affiliated agencies involved. CRIN’s network include governments and agencies, post-secondary institutions, corporations, investors and economic development authorities. It has embraced the innovation
communities that typically stay apart from legacy corporations and organizations. This creates connections between experts and technology companies looking to gain traction within Canada’s energy transition. CRIN also deliberately seeks not to duplicate existing innovation efforts. Its goal is to spur innovation at a pace only made possible through leveraging existing capacity. We know that today’s energy cleanliness is not tomorrow’s cleanliness. Nor should it be. CRIN’s first major step is to tap into the federal government’s innovation funding announced in the March budget. Its letter of intent will be submitted this week, along with similar applications from other sectors. By fall, it will know if it’s successful.
If Ottawa is serious about clean energy of all types underpinning Canada’s economic future, the bureaucrats and politicians pulling the levers would do well
to learn about CRIN and its potential. Bill Whitelaw is president and CEO at JuneWarrenNickle’s Energy Group.

Town of Lamont beautification projects nearing completion
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Hot sunny weather allowed for the completion of a number of beautification projects in the Town of Lamont. The new picnic shelter in Hillside Park was completed along with the installation of two picnic benches at the Spray Park, also located in Hillside Park. Mural artist Robert Murray recently completed work on the water reservoir in the Campbell subdivision. As well, public works employees installed the sports related metal figurines along the fenceline on the westside of Secondary Highway 831. These silhouttes were made by the Lamont High/Jr School shop class and painted by the Lamont High/Jr high art class. Elk Island Youth Ranch students also helped out making them.
