Effects of wildfires seeps into Lamont County Smoky haze causes air quality warning By KERRY ANDERSON Many areas of Alberta, including the Edmonton area, were issued several health warnings last week from Environment Canada due to poor air quality because of the smoke from both NWT and BC wildfires burning out of control. Several times last week, the smoke had drifted into the Lamont County region. "Smoke is causing poor air quality and reducing visibility over much of Alberta," said the government department last week. "Forest fires burning in the Northwest Territories, British Columbia and Alberta were spreading
smoke across many parts of Alberta." Just Sunday over 2,000 residents of West Kelowna were allowed back to their homes, but are on alert for another evacuation. Cooler temperatures and higher humidity on the weekend have allowed firefighters to contain 50 per cent of the blaze (up from 30 per cent). "People with respiratory conditions (such as copd and asthma) or existing cardiovascular conditions (such as angina, previous heart attack and congestive heart failure), should monitor their symptoms and consult a physician if they worsen. People are encouraged to reduce or postpone outdoor activities when
Wildfire near Hudson’s Hope, BC taken by firefighter Fred Hardenberg. an air quality warning is in effect. It had normalized by the weekend. Edmonton's air quality health index last week reached as high as seven, which should be considered a high risk. Firefighters continue to try to control the fires, but several evacuations orders have been issued including Hudson's Hope, a town close to Fort St. John; and West Kelowna. Another 188 fires are burning in Northwest Territories. A 160,000 hectare fire there continues to generate heavy smoke
and Highway 3 has been shutdown by officials periodically. The area hasn’t had any substantial rain since the spring melt. Warm, dry conditions are the forecast for the upcoming week. Last week firefighters arrived from Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Alberta to contain the blazes. In Alberta, more than 270 firefighters are battling wildfires, one of which sparked an evacuation order in the MD of Greenview No. 16, south of Grande Prairie, due to a fire burning across the border with B.C.
Fire departments learn extraction training at Mundare By Jaimee Russnak Caribou Publishing
On July 6 four out of five Lamont County Fire Departments met in Mundare for a day of vehicle extrication training. Members of Lamont, Mundare, Bruderheim and Chipman Fire Departments participated in the training course, which involved both theory and practical application, led by Randy Schmitz. Schmitz is a member of the Calgary Fire Department and also works as an extri-
cation instructor and competition judge throughout North America, as well as a contributing writer at the Canadian Firefighter Magazine. Mundare Fire Chief Glenda Dales said that the members of the various fire departments were very lucky to share in his wealth of knowledge and expertise. She said that Schmitz has been providing an annual extrication training
course in Mundare for six years now and each year is very valuable as both a refresher course and to provide opportunity for the firefighting crews to learn of new techniques and tools. “Things are always changing and we want to stay up-to-date to provide the best service we can,� she said. According to Dales this year’s training course offered very unique extrica-
tion techniques. She said that in practicing they used an upside down car and bent it in half so that it was shaped like the letter L, and were taught to extricate the person inside through the back. Dales said two cars, donated from Vegreville Towing, were torn apart in practice as members put their new knowledge to the task. Dales said the day was very informative and they look forward to the next training session to further their knowledge.

Healthy growth continues for Bruderheim By JAIMEE RUSSNAK Caribou Publishing
Results from Bruderheim’s most recent census are in and prove that the community is growing at what Mayor Karl Hauch terms a “healthy rate, especially in comparison to larger centres around us.” From 2012 to this June the population has grown just over four per cent, from 1298 to 1348 residents, an increase of 50 people which reflects a continued growing trend. “The growth in our town is actually fairly consistent, as from 2006 to 2012 our town grew around six per cent,” said Mayor Hauch. He said that the breakdown of the demographics of the census have not been charted out yet, but he is very happy with what the census has
revealed regarding total population numbers. “The industrial growth in our region, the Alberta Heartland, is continuing at a brisk pace and looks to be continuing well into the foreseeable future. This is good news for business in our area and for Bruderheim's future, as the growth in our region looks to be spilling over into our community,” he said. “Speaking in economic terms, this is very good news for the businesses in Bruderheim. It is a well known fact for every $1 earned in our community there is a significant return to our community. “In social terms, this increase in population is significant, in that folks want to take pride in their community, and in Bruderheim there is
much to be proud of, so when you take into account the town is growing at a healthy clip, folks have all the more reason to feel good about themselves, which in turn makes our community, more attractive as a place to raise your family and perhaps start a new business.” According to Hauch the Town Council of Bruderheim is very intent on growing the community and working hand in hand with businesses and community partners. He said, “Through many efforts and initiatives including Tax Free for Three, we believe we are starting to achieve sustainable growth. “We foresee a future which is looking very bright indeed for the Home of the Bruderheim Meteorite.”

RCMP receives tips about dangerous driving near Andrew Two Hills, Alberta – On July 5th, 2014, Two Hills RCMP received several 911 calls from concerned motorists regarding a driver who was driving dangerously
on Highway 45 near Andrew, Alberta. Two Hills RCMP would like to thank the concerned motorists and credit them with saving valuable time to the
responding RCMP Officer as well as assisting with the safe apprehension of a dangerous impaired driver on Alberta Highways. The motorists were
able to provide valuable information related to the location and driving pattern of the individual who was observed driving over curbs and into oncoming traffic on the
Rain, heat, timely for many Lamont area farmers By JAIMEE RUSSNAK Caribou Publishing
Recent high temperatures were welcomed by farmers according to Terry Eleniak, Agricultural Fieldman with Lamont County. He said that as Lamont County had gone through a wet cycle for a number of weeks the heat was needed to put area crops back into a competitive perspective and that the high temperatures boosted forages. The heat also provided ample opportunity for farmers to cut standing hay. According to Eleniak many area farmers’ quantity was questionable in some pocket areas of land which had gone through the thaw-melt and refreezing in January but that the quality of farmers’ hay ranged from good to
excellent up until rain hit on July 17. He noted that the light rain on July 17 prevented some farmers’ from cut-
ting hay that day, but the shower was still timely for other crops. Eleniak also stated that due to the high degree of moisture the county had received prior to the stretch of heat the County of Lamont saw an increase in application of fungicides on cereal and oil seeds and peas, as farmers wish to

protect their crops as much as they can and he believes these precautionary actions have been effective. In regards to other pests, insects or disease, Eleniak said that this year has not seen an increase in prevalence of any of those detrimental factors. He said that for the past few years two per cent strychnine has been available for farmers to treat fields for Richardson Ground Squirrels, provided farmers meet certain requirements, and as many fields have already been treated they have seen fewer requests for that this year. “Most farmers who have used it are satisfied,” he said. As harmful factors do not appear to be a greater risk than previous years and if the

weather continues to cooperate, it is likely Lamont County farmers may reap the rewards of another successful year. But, he adds, “Unfortunately we are entering a really unstable season where proned hail and weather storms have caused severe damage.” Farmers will certainly be keeping eyes on both their fields and the sky in coming days.

Opinion
Wealth should be capped Disappointed by the misuse of our Canadian Health Care system, I used to be in favour of the U.S. model where citizens could purchase health insurance rather than get it free and then have a gargantuan amount added to your tax bill annually. But one event made me think differently about nation-wide health and the benefits of being Canadian. One day when my youngest son was only a toddler, he had terrible croup. His breathing was hoarse, and croaking. The illness usually passes on its own, and rarely needs hospitalization. Croup is common with young children, but it scares the hell out of you none the less. My wife took our son outside to fresh air, as was the recommended procedure. But she felt this bout was worse than the previous ones and decided to buckle him into the vehicle and drive him over snowy streets at 2 am to the hospital. The nurse called the doctor at home, and after some advisement treated him and kept him overnight. The next morning both my wife and son came home happy and healthy. This little event got me thinking though. Would people in the US, perhaps poor people, be forced to risk the boy's life - even remotely - because they could not afford to pay the hospital bill to have him treated for severe croup? After all, he’ll probably be okay... probably. Wasn't it fortunate that we, in Canada, do not have that worry - and don't have to consider costs when it comes to the health of our families? There is something to be said for having basic provisions. Some people are not born with the same tools as others. Does that mean that they should have to be forced to live in squaller while others have mansions and maids, a dozen vehicles, and holiday homes? The wealth gap in society is getting wider and wider. John D. Rockefeller was once considered the richest person on earth and its first billionaire. A hundred years later and there are almost 2,000 billionaires and I doubt it will be another hundred years before we start counting trillionaires. That's 1,000,000,000,000. Some people have more money than entire countries, yet don't seem to mind watching citizens of these poor countries live in dirt shacks, unable to nourish their own starving children. In Canada, the richest hundred people are worth $230,000,000,000. One of them we pay nearly $300 a seat to watch a hockey game, and subsidize his new arena as well. Internationally the gap between the richest 10 per cent and the poorest has increased one percent every single year for the past 25 years. The wealthiest one per cent own over 40 per cent of global assets. There are 48 nations which combined have fewer assets than the three richest people in the world combined. And there are 85 people whose wealth combined is more than that of the bottom 3.5 billion human beings. Think about that. Could we not significantly improve the human condition of these 3.5 billion people if we had a reasonable wealth cap, and closed the wealth gap greatly? I am a big believer in democracy and free enterprise, but without a little socialism in the mix like health care for all and wealth gap controls, capitalism has proven to proceed out of control and therefore it can not be as perfect as some would have you believe.

Letters to the editor
MLA asks: Is no debt the answer? I look forward to signing the CTF pledge after the infrastructure projects needed in the communities I was elected to represent are built. When the first truck drives over the South Bridge, when not only the new Fort Saskatchewan K-9 school is built but also the new
Fort Catholic High School, when the intersection at 830 and Hwy 15 is improved along with additional twinning of Hwy 15 to Lamont, when trucks crossing at 855 or turning on to 830 can safely cross Hwy 16, when St. Joseph’s hospital can house a CT
Scanner, when we can meet the demand for long term and continuing care to house our seniors, when the John S Batiuk Water Commission has the pumps they need to ensure an adequate water supply to Vegreville and when the
RCMP building in Tofield is completed, then, and only then, will I sign a pledge that would hamper my ability to ensure the infrastructure I am fighting for is built. Continued on Page 5

From Where I Sit: My teaching days
By Hazel Anaka Having four-year-old Grady here for the weekend is good for one’s innate sense of play. How else could I justify spending hours watching that cinematic marvel called Toy Story 1, 2 and 3? I appreciate the underlying innuendo and adult theme.
Letter Continued from Page 4 I have no objections to reporting the budget in a manner that addresses the auditor general’s recommendations. I don’t know of anyone who wouldn’t want a balanced budget. That is why there were cuts in the 2013 budget to do just that, balance the operating budget. In some areas I believe we cut too far or did not meet the demands of our growing population and that is why you are hearing cries for additional funding for Families and Community Service, Education and maintenance dollars for our roads and bridges. Popular programs such as the STEP program are no longer and those cuts are being felt by our municipalities. We have made some difficult decisions and we do need to look at finding ways to address some of those needs. I believe that repaying our debts sooner rather than later is important but not at the expense of having students educated in hallways or unsafe roads. What are our options if the province does not borrow? Cash in the Heritage Savings and Trust Fund which gener-
I can relive the early days of my own parenting through the featured toys. There’s a certain satisfaction in telling Grady that his dad Greg used to own a slinky dog, pull telephone, etch-a-sketch. In an era of toddlers playing with smart phones and tablets I ache for the simpler days when toy soldiers, wooden blocks and connecting plastic monkeys demanded imagination not mastering levels. Baby dolls, plastic animals, and toy trucks need a child to animate them. Hilary still has her Mr. Potato Head. Even though we were able to eventually dispose of her troll collection I smile when I see the pink
ates a higher rate of return than what interest costs to borrow for these projects would be? Raise taxes making it more expensive for every family and less attractive for industries to locate here? Or not build the infrastructure we need. Simple solutions such as signing a declaration without considering the ramifications aren’t always the best solutions, especially for our growing communities. It would be like saying to a municipality, sure, we will give you more money in MSI but not telling them in doing so other grants such as CFEP and basic transportation grants will be abolished. Let’s consider the whole picture. So, unless you know of another way to pay for these projects, we can borrow, cut programs or not build our needed bridges and schools until we have the money under a mattress. Yes, let’s be prudent and let’s try to pay down our debts as soon as possible but let’s not add to the infrastructure deficit. Requests for roads and bridges are almost daily asks. I can tell you I get far more letters asking when a new high school is going to be built than letters saying borrowing for capital is not an option. MLA Jacquie Fenske
haired beauty in a blue bikini that was her first acquisition, in a supporting role in the movie. Grady has now matured to the point that when I beat him at Snakes and Ladders he doesn’t cry. He thinks one of his hockey trophies should be awarded to the winner. We also spent time at our gravel pit where Grady climbed the piles like a mountain goat. The kid is extremely
strong, wiry, athletic and fearless. You don’t get the nickname ‘The Blur’ on your hockey team by accident. He had a ball and a day’s quota of fresh air and exercise. Next we headed down the road to the small creek about a mile from home. Tossing rocks into the water has been a fun activity for him ever since he could walk. With improved strength and aim the challenge for him is amped up. I won-
der if either of us will ever learn to skip a stone. I pointed out deer tracks in the moist gravel on the road. On the way back to the truck I pointed out my footprints. I asked him if a mother deer would point out my tracks to her baby. He grabbed a fistful of rocks for my collection. He mistakes quantity for quality. Because he’s not yet as discerning as I am they will never make the cut.
Because we got locked out of the house I had to show him the secret hiding spot for the spare key. I told him about keeping the secret from crooks and bad guys otherwise the old Star Wars toys might be the first things grabbed during a break-in. Naturally he pointed it out to his mom when she picked him up. Apparently my days of teaching him are far from over from where I sit.

Minister meets with local dignitaries
Lamont County declared Borshch Capital of the World at Babas Festival media launch in Edmonton Lamont County’s award winning Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival promised more fun, activities, and attractions for 2014 at a recent Edmonton Media Launch. “Last year we invited all Ukrainians and ‘wannabes’ to Andrew to help celebrate and honour Ukrainian culture. This year we’re saying come back and let us help make some Bucket List wishes come true,” said Festival Coordinator, Hazel Anaka in her festival overview. The Bucket List comment was an obvious reference to the back of the 2014 Festival post card which lists some mustdos: get a photo with festival ambassador Baba Magda, eat pyrohy and drink Na Zdorovlia, learn the Pyrogy Dance, check out the expanded Baba’s Bazaar and more. Anaka went on to announce the new activities planned for the August 23-24 weekend in Andrew. As Canada marks the 100th anniversary of WW I Internment Operations the Festival is providing their own tribute to the nearly 5000 Ukrainians interned, through displays, talks by internee descendants, and the screening of a documentary. 2014 also marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ukraine’s favourite son, Taras Shevchenko: poet, painter, nationalist. The
Festival is partnering with Edmonton’s St. Matthew Ukrainian Bilingual School by showcasing student work about Shevchenko. In addition on Sunday a Citizenship Judge will preside over a Reaffirmation Ceremony for any Canadian citizen who wants to recommit to the best country in the world. With all that’s gone on in Ukraine since November it should be especially poignant for Ukrainian-Canadians. Lamont County’s Economic Development Manager, Jim Newman thanked the media, guests, and sponsors in attendance before declaring Lamont County Borshch Capital of the World. “I thought we were going for national recognition not world domination,” laughed Anaka before explaining the borshch plans. “We’re inviting all ‘closet’ borshch cooks to enter our second annual Borshch Cook Off and vie for prizes and 2014 bragging rights. Chef Gail Hall will be teaching a borshch cooking demo class on Saturday but space is limited so people are urged to buy their ticket early that day.” Also new this year is the chance to bid on three unique silent auction items (1. private cooking class for 6 with Chef Gail Hall, 2. horilka (vodka) tasting for 16 and 3. premium vodka in a glass hockey stick) that
are fun, experiential and will extend the festivalgoing experience. Anaka wound up her remarks about the expanded Outdoor Music Jam and Baba’s Bazaar displays of Ukrainian-themed educational and retail vendors. Baba Magda then rose to list the return of favourite festival features: passports for Ukrainians and ‘wannabes;’ shuttle tours to the Ukrainian church, museum and grain elevator; Sunday morning Divine Liturgy; kids’ activities; demonstrations by a farrier, pysanka writer, and a blacksmith; beer garden; junior dancers and Ukrainian food all day long. Baba Magda also urged people to buy tickets for the Zabava early because last year they sold out. This year’s lineup features performances by Cheremosh Ukrainian dancers and a Ukrainian quartet Zabava u Koli. Chosyn Catering promises a Ukrainian feast and The Playboys promise great dance music. For more information about entering the Borshch Cook Off, bidding on auction items, buying Zabava tickets and the entire weekend of promises visit www.babasandborshch.c a or call 780-365-2434. We want you there. You’re coming, right?

Construction of new Funshine Day Care in Mundare breaks ground

WAYNE’S WORLD Join Wayne and South Fort Chevrolet this Saturday, July 26th for our Annual K-Days Pancake Breakfast between 10am and 1pm.
Funshine Day Care staff and children. By JAIMEE RUSSNAK Caribou Publishing
A new day care centre for the town of Mundare is groundbreaking news, and, in fact, ground was broken on the recently purchased double lot July 15. According to Funshine Day Care owner Shannon Kowal, construction of the new building is set to be complete by the end of October if all goes well. The building will be 1700 sq. feet, allowing for up to 40 children to attend at a time, and will be all on one level. A large play yard will be in the back. “It will be very practical and child-friendly,� said Kowal. She added that the building of a new centre is great news for the community. “There is a definite need for day care, which we have seen
in the growth of Funshine since it began. People really appreciate it and though it has grown, we still have room for more kids, especially once we are in the new building. The kids and the community are our focus.� Currently, Funshine Child Development Centre is housed in the basement of the National Hall, which, at the time of the day care’s opening two years ago, was the only space available, and so a three year-term of use was granted. Kowal said that while the National Hall provided a great opportunity for the day care to get established it is time for a change. “The basement itself is not ideal as a location, based on Health and Safety regulations, but it did give us a great
opportunity to ready ourselves for the move. We have grown very quickly; our numbers are solid with lots of fulltime kids and our staffing is set. We are ready to move.� And so, two lots were purchased across the street from the current location, a purchase made easy by Mundare’s building incentives, which price lots at just one dollar. “It all happened very quickly which we and the kids are very excited about. “Actually, because the new location is across the street the kids can watch the construction from our play yard. They have been watching the digging and are very excited. “We’re all looking forward to this new centre.�
While a lot has changed in the car business over the last 28 years, one constant has remained the same for Wayne Field - providing excellent customer service. Wayne is totally committed to providing the best service possible to his customers, and it shows as he will take care of all your needs from start to finish to make the process of buying or selling or leasing a Chevrolet a wonderful stress free experience. Wayne is starting his fourth year at South Fort Chevrolet in Fort Saskatchewan as sales, leasing and fleet representative; and he always goes the extra mile for his customers. With 28 years of experience under his belt, Wayne knows the car business inside out. He has been a sales associate, finance manager and dealer owner at General Motors dealerships in Lamont, Redwater and Fort Saskatchewan. “Improved vehicle quality and fuel efficiency are two big changes since I entered the business in 1976. Manufacturers warranties are stronger and dealers are subjected to much higher staffing, facility and performance standards by the manufacturers.� Overall, it means a better sales and service experience for the customer, adds Wayne. “The internet has changed the way we do business. The customer is better informed and the buying process is shortened,� notes Wayne, who is very adaptable and accommodating for all his customers. So whether you are searching for a new or pre-owned vehicle please give me a call at South Fort Chevrolet 780-998-7881 or email wayne@southfortchev.com.

Summer is no time for boredom Lamont County has something for everyone just about every weekend By JAIMEE RUSSNAK Caribou Publishing
Plans are well underway for a number of upcoming events in Lamont County which offer fun for the whole family this summer and early fall. This weekend the Lamont Summer Sizzler will have the town bustling with activity as locals and visitors gather to take in all the event has to offer, including the rodeo, fireworks, parade, bench show and farmers’ market, chili cook off, combine Krunch, dance, and demo derby. The weekend promised to be action-packed offering something for everyone. August 9 is the Bison Festival at Elk Island National Park which will feature musical performances which are both informative and entertaining. And, August 10 is Ukrainian Day at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. The day starts with a pancake breakfast, and recognition of east central Alberta’s centennial pioneer families. During the afternoon there will be a Ukrainian Day concert featuring traditional and contemporary UkrainianCanadian music and you can take in the Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts’ showcase and art sale. With a village market, children’s activities and craft tent and Ukrainian Village Food Festival, this will be a day to remember for all. Mundare Agri-Daze is coming August 15 to 17 featuring an exposition, parade, fair and much more. The Bruderheim AG Days will take place August 22-24 and will offer many exciting events such as chariot and chuckwagon races, a slo-pitch tournament, demo derby, monster truck rides, ATV drag races and a parade. That same weekend will see Andrew’s Babas and Borschch Ukrainian Festival take place. Ukrainian culture and pride will be on display as the Cheremosh Ukrainain Dancers, zabaca u Koli quarter, and the Playboys perform and patrons enjoy the delicious Ukrainian food. On September 1 Bruderheim will host the RCMP Musical Ride. The thrilling, majestic, and patriotic event is something you won’t want to miss. And, Lamont County students in Grades 1 to 6 are invited to enter the RCMP Musical Ride Poster Contest. Entries must represent one of three themes, including RCMP Musical Ride, Bruderheim Meteorite or I Love Bruderheim and must be submitted by August 25. The chosen winner will receive four free tickets to attend the RCMP Musical Ride and a photo opportunity with members of the RCMP Musical Ride. Plans for the 16th Annual Andrew Garlic Festival are also in progress. The Garlic Festival will take place October 11 at the Andrew Community Centre. Pony rides are a new addition this year, joining other various children’s activities such as a bouncy house, balloon maker and games. Garlic popcorn and cooked garlic cloves will make for tasty treats and patrons can take a stroll around the Farmers’ Market. Live entertainment will perform throughout the day and contests such as the Garlic Peeling Contest and Amazing Race will offer lots of fun. Don’t miss these events which are sure to demonstrate a true Lamont County pride in a fun, familyfriendly fashion.

Heartland 101 Industrial Projects on the Horizon From refining to power generation and pipelines to rail lines, a host of industrial projects are planned or under construction in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Since Sherritt International located in the area 60 years ago, the Heartland region has amassed more than $25 billion in industrial investment. This industry clustering is a draw for new projects. Much of the planning and infrastructure already exist, in addition to the natural opportunity for synergies with byproducts and feedstock. Projects many people are familiar with, such as bitumen pipelines and petrochemical processing, are part of approximately $20 billion in planned investment in the Heartland over the next decade. However, there are also unique projects exploring innovative technology, utilizing world leading environmental practices and transforming raw resources into higher value products. “There are several projects already operating or under construction in the Heartland that will reduce CO2 emissions by a combined 16.2 million tonnes annually. Projects like these are significant in decreasing our region’s environmental footprint,” explains Neil Shelly, Executive Director of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association. Two projects in particular involve carbon capture and storage: x Shell Quest will capture CO2 from Shell’s Upgrader to safely transport it 80 km north where it will be permanently stored 2 km underground. Expected completion is in 2015. x Enhance Energy’s Alberta Carbon Trunk Line will gather CO2 from the Sturgeon Refinery (under construction) and Agrium, and transport it to mature oil fields in south central Alberta for enhanced oil recovery. Expected completion is in 2015. To follow the status of these and other industrial projects, visit lifeintheheartland.com and click on Project Status. “While new projects are expected to generate billions of dollars in investment, existing industry in the Heartland contributes substantially to the local economy. Over $1 billion is spent annually on goods and services, not including utilities and feed stocks. Taxes paid by Northeast Capital Industrial Association members to Heartland municipalities exceeded $83 million in 2013 and salaries and wages for the 6,100 employees were approximately $396 million,” explained Dr. Laurie Danielson, Executive Director of the Northeast Capital Industrial Association. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of dollars and volunteer hours are provided to Heartland communities for non-profit groups, initiatives, projects and organizations. Visit our website and click on Community Resources for more information on Community Investment Programs.
