FROM WHERE I SIT: Worth all this

BY HAZEL ANAKA Our renovation /addition project is underway and so far, it’s been as expected. The rains have delayed some of the foundation work but the backfilling is now done.

Between the trees, old stump, and landscape rocks we removed our lawn was wounded before the work even began. Throw in clay and dirt piles, backhoe, concrete pump truck, skid steer, load of washed gravel for around the weeping tile and it’s something else to behold.

The next exciting thing will be cutting through the existing basement foundation (without rebar!) to provide access to each of the new wings.

I’m confident the pros will get it done right.

Laying the floor joists and framing the exterior walls comes next.

Of course, there have been issues. We saved a set of pre-cast steps for reuse. We planned to buy another set for the back. Until we learned that you can’t hang concrete steps on an ICF foundation. Some fabricating of supports and creative problem solving will be required when the time is right.

Also operating in the background have been design dreams, making showroom selections, and getting as much of our life out of the way as possible. It’s exhausting.

It’s exhilarating. Giving Babas and Borshch the attention it needs and deserves means I’m working harder than ever. If I was forward thinking and organized before, you have no idea the amount of smoke

coming out of my noggin now.

Through it all, I’m trusting in the Lord and the universe that the project will unfold as it must. A rain delay today may mean our shower will be operational festival morning---sponge baths are so yesterday.

Encountering a construction delay now may mean that the laundry is still connected and we’ve got clean clothes for meetings and festival weekend. It worries me just a touch that I packed away my old laptop so well that even I can’t find it. It will be a treasure hunt indeed when we try to reconstruct our lives post-project.

And while I’m far from naïve, I’ve really found that what seems easy, breezy on HGTV doesn’t translate quite as well here in real life, labour or budget wise. I’ve been set on repurposing an old mid-century dresser as a double vanity. I wanted copper vessel sinks and a quartz countertop. I convinced our brother-in-law to tackle the finicky work because

11213 88 Ave. Fort Saskatchewan

780-992-1449

he’s a talented, detail guy. For the record, Roy was skeptical and disapproving from day one.

With quotes for quartz at $3000 plus about $1500 for two sinks plus labour, the idea lost some of its shine. Enter Canadianmade all wood vanities with quartz countertop, undermount sink, and soft close doors, drawers for all three bathrooms.

But what door style, finish, quartz, hardware?

And don’t get me started on plumbing choices.

Let’s just say there’s a free-standing tub, onepiece shower stall, integrated tub/shower in our future. Not to mention the comfort height, elongated bowl, Toto cyclone flush toilets.

Fancy.

Decision by decision, we choosing where to splurge and where to save. We’re doing those unseen updates that need to be done (bigger hot water tank, new yard light pole, et cetera).

We’re doing what the new building and energy codes demand. One day it’ll be worth all this, from where I sit.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, July 25, 2018

Opinion Discussion should begin in Alberta about High Speed Rail I love the idea of High Speed Rail (HSR) in certain parts of Canada, including a line from Calgary to Edmonton.

Fast, safe, environmentally friendly transportation between populated areas - what’s not to like?

Presently there are several HSR projects in the US either under construction (Dallas - Houston), or proposed (Boston - New York - Philadelphia - Baltimore Washington). In Canada, several proposals are also being considered connecting cities like Vancouver to US centres like Seattle; or Montreal to New York.

Metro Toronto is looking into a shorter line (like what we could use in Alberta), possibly connecting to Hamilton and London.

These trains can reach speeds typically from 250 to 350 km/hr though the world’s fastest HSR train has topped out at 431 km/hr. There are several European or Asian HSR lines that go well over 350 km/hr, most being the more expensive and high tech maglev trains which levitate magnetically between upper and lower tracks thus eliminating friction.

Even a more typical HSR between Calgary and Edmonton would mean passengers could commute between the two largest cities in Alberta in less than an hour, instead of the typical three hour drive through several white knuckle weather patterns along with thousands of QEII crazies.

Other advantages of HSR are: • Typically city centre to city centre routes rather than airports outside or on the edge of the metro area.

• On shorter trips like Edmonton to Calgary, HSR is faster than even air travel due to time required for deicing, taking off, landing, baggage and security checks.

• Flights are cancelled or postponed more frequently due to severe weather than HSR cancellations.

• Trains are more comfortable with more leg room and passengers can move about the train freely as compared to limitations of air travel.

• Planes more often find short flights less economic and in some countries planes already team with HSR for transfers instead of using connecting flights.

• HSR is more economical per person, and leaves a much smaller carbon footprint per passenger than buses or planes.

Of course the down side is that HSR requires special tracks and trains, and costs in the billions to build. It also takes years to study, raise funding, and finally build.

Last and perhaps the greatest difficulty regarding HSR, is to find politicians with progressive thinking and foresight.

Mundare area rancher first to donate to Calves for Cancer Get tested regularly - advises rancher, cancer survivor Greening is hoping to have the calves reach at least the 600 pound mark. Depending on where the cows are donated from, she is looking to work with the local auction houses to have a special night of selling, benefitting the Cross Cancer Institute.

For owner John Chomiak, the selection of the calf was instant, Hooch, one of two orphans that he is raising. Unfortunately an accident earlier in the year caused two mother cows and a calf to be electrocuted. Hooch has been bottle-fed and is now feeding from a bucket.

All this attention regarding feeding is having both orphans grow. “Hooch will be a heavy calf,” says Chomiak.

On the personal side, John became well acquainted with the Cross Cancer Institute when he underwent treatment for prostate cancer in late 2015.

He claims that he got to know the cancer doctors, techs and others very well at the Cross.

Upon his 10 visits he named the radiation machine Bertha, an up to date technology unit which was recently installed. John’s engineering company in fact designed the room that Bertha works in.

John says that he feels that every farmer or rancher in this province has experienced or has known someone with cancer. “Alberta has the largest cattle herd in Canada and this should equate to many more than 50 calves for fall auction.”

He encourages all cattle folk to participate in this worthwhile cause.

Oh and John’s advice, get tested regHooch, an orphaned Charolis hybrid calf, from a Mundare ranch ularly. wii go to market this fall. His earnings at auction will go to the fundraiser Calves for Cancer.

MAUREEN SULLIVLAN Chomiak Charolais of Mundare is the first to donate a calf to the fundraising cause of “Calves for Cancer“.

This fundraising project, helping the Cross Cancer Institute celebrate 50 years is aimed at getting rural Alberta engaged with raising money.

The Calves for Cancer campaign, by Alberta country radio station 840 CFCW AM was conceived of in January by productions director Jackie Rae Greening and crew.

“The Cross Cancer Institute has been running since 1968. As they celebrate 50 years CFCW is looking for 50 ranchers who will donate a calf to our Calves for Cancer campaign,” said Greening.

Money raised by selling the calves at auction will go to the Cross Cancer Institute.

Healthcare 101 The first module of Healthcare 101 - a new online information series - is now available to help people who live in Alberta better understand their health system.

The first module, Healthcare Basics for Albertans is now available on the MyHealth.Alberta.ca website. This module focuses on putting Alberta’s healthcare system intone perspective and outlining the foundation and partners of our healthcare system, including government and non-government organizations, services and resources.

Future modules will be developed and once complete, Healthcare 101 will help Albertans better navigate the healthcare system and take a more active role in their healthcare journey.

Heritage Awards extends deadline The province has extended the deadline for those seeking to nominate individuals for the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation Heritage Awards.

Because of the stakeholder interest, stated a press release from Alberta Culture and Tourism, the deadline for nominations will now be Aug. 15.

The nominations will be accepted in five categories: heritage conservation, heritage awareness, outstanding achievement and, new for the 2018 awards, Indigenous heritage and youth heritage.

The AHRF Heritage Awards are presented every two years and recognize the outstanding achievements of Albertans engaged in heritage preservation, protection and promotion.

A total of 58 awards have been presented since the program’s inception in 2005. This year’s awards will be presented at a ceremony in Edmonton, Oct. 25.

Nomination forms are available online at Alberta.ca/heritageawards

Rain doesn’t dampen ATV races

JOHN MATHER When the Bruderheim Riders Association scheduled its fifth annual ATV races on July 21, it was the first time they had hosted on their own.

“We had always partnered with the Bruderheim Agricultural Society when the held their chuckwagon and chariot races,” said Bruderheim Riders Association president Willie Maess. Those races were canceled this year causing the Riders

to go it alone.

“It was a great success for our first year solo.”

He added there were 52 competitors at this year’s event up from 30 the year before.

“That’s one of our largest number of competitors,” he said.

Rain on Saturday didn’t hamper the racing, but Maess added many volunteers were needed to hold down the tents when the wind picked up. One crew not successful at this were the

Honda Red Riders who saw their tent blown down the horse track.

The winner of the 50/50 draw won $250 with the other half going to the Shilo Youth Ranch just north of Bruderheim.

Maess said the future looks bright for the event.

“There are some pretty impressive machines there,” he said. “Some people have up to $60,000 to $70.000 invested in their machines.”

He adds many of those

competitors take part in CCMR (Canadian Championship Mud Racing) events, which hosts meets across western Canada. He adds some compete south of the border as well.

“It’s a lifestyle thing,” he adds.

More to Communities in Bloom than posies ings and noting and retaining some of the areas traditions and customs.

The fourth criteria studied is the general landscape and then urban forests are viewed with an eye for the variety of trees and the overall tree canopy.

Floral displays make up the final criteria.

“The name is very misleading,” added Chang.

“But the reality is the whole program won’t work unless you have total community buy-in.

“We want to get everyone from council to businesses to local community groups involved.”

Parent adds, “The word bloom can be taken to mean growth as in a blooming community.

Lots of community spirit and the quality of life is good and getting better.

Chang has spent 15 years as a judge with Communities in Bloom while Parent is a rookie.

They will be judging six communities this year including three in Alberta, one in Quebec, one in Prince Edward Island and one in New Brunswick.

“Once you’re recruited,” she said. “You’ve got to believe in the program and want to share your expertise in the community.”

All the judges are volunteers. The number of

judges varies from 25 to 50 depending on how many communities are involved in the program.

Provincials, National and International levels exist There is also an international level of Communities in Bloom.

For example once Bruderheim reaches a certain level nationally, it would be eligible to compete at the international level.

Communities receiving a mention for a special achievement or initiative and then receive a bloom rating from one to five blooms. There are four levels of blooms at the national and international levels.

The Communities in

Bloom program is sponsor by various companies across the country including Enterprise Car Rentals, Home Hardware, Scotts, Municipal World Magazine and many others.

Winners of the national and international awards will be announced in September at a symposium on parks and green spaces being held in Strathcona County.

“Bruderheim has come a long, long ways since it first got involved with communities in bloom,” said Chang. But she wouldn’t let out any secrets about how this year’s edition would be judged.

In Loving Memory of My Dear Husband

ne Demchu y a k

JOHN MATHER For several years, Bruderheim, along with many other communities throughout Alberta have participated in the Communities in Bloom program.

And while it appears on the surface to be no more than a community beautification program there is much more to it.

On July 18, two national judges were in Bruderheim to evaluate the community. Lucy Chang came from Ottawa, Ont. and she was accompanied in judging by Anne-Marie Parent from Beaconsfield, Que. “We’re recruited as judges because of our expertise, training and different backgrounds,” said Chang. “AnneMarie is a landscape architect and town planner by profession and spent 18 years as a councillor and mayor of Beaconsfield.”

Chang is a professional librarian and served as a research librarian for Alberta Environment up until 2004. She is also a master gardener.”

Bruderheim is being judged in communities for up to 1,500 in population. Its competition is Valhalla Centre in Alberta and SaintePetronille, Quebec.

Six criteria studied The judges study six criteria for the Communities in Bloom.

“The first is the tidiness of the town,” explained Chang. “Then there is what environmental practices are carried out in the town.”

She explains that includes recycling, practicing energy and water conservation, and studying energy efficiencies such as lighting. She adds things like saving rain water for reuse are looked at.

The third criterion is how cultural and natural heritage are taken care of. Chang said this is preserving historic build-

You were a remarkable man ~ Dependable, loving and caring...

You were the centre of my world.

You were one in a million to me...

You made me laugh, you made me smile ~ You were my companion and dear friend...

You were a wonderful husband from beginning to end.

Forever will you live on, in my heart and mind.

Forever will you live in my thoughts and never die.

With love always, I remember you, With fond memories, I think of you...

I’m grateful for the times we had together ~ I’ll cherish my memories of you forever.

Adamstock coming back for a fifth year in Lamont MAUREEN SULLIVAN The festival happening August 17 - 19, at the Lamont Ag grounds is back for the fifth year to raise money for cancer research and in tribute to an unfortunate young boy who fought and lost his battle.

This family friendly music festival features a variety of everything, from Hip Hop to Country, Blues to Punk Rock and Celtic Rock (bagpipes and kilts). This year’s featured band is the Outlaws.

The weekend long festival is in tribute to a boy named Adam who spent much of his short life battling cancer before passing away. Adam loved live music.

Adam was first diagnosed at the age of one with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer that affects the bladder and prostate. His bladder and prostate were removed. A few short months later the cancer returned and he spent

months in Calgary undergoing stem cell transplants. He was diagnosed cancer free at the age of two.

At age seven, Adam found a lump on his leg that turned out to be Osteosarcoma. He had surgery to remove his thigh bone and flip his leg around so that the knee then acted as the hip bone and the heel worked as a knee with a prosthetic below that.

In 2013 at the age of 14, Adam was once again diagnosed with cancer.

Stage 4 terminal colon cancer. The cancer had spread to his lungs, liver and bones. He passed away at the age of 16 after a 16 month battle.

The Adams Army Charitable Foundation puts this event on every year in his honor. All funds raised go to helping families that have a child going through cancer treatment.

KINDERGARTEN AT UCHV

Kindergartener Alex plays the part of a horse being shoed when Andrew School went on a field trip to the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village on June 13. K to grade 6 students were on their year end field trip.

says they got started in Lamont through a friend.

Adam was Kieley's nephew.

"We like the small town feel of Lamont and the community is great.

We began Adamstock at the arena grounds, but with it being directly in town, we felt we should move the music out to the rodeo grounds to allow for more space and to not disrupt the town at all."

Come out and bring the family to enjoy the music, food trucks, beer gardens for 18+, and the camping.

AT THE VIKING CARENA

10 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, July 25, 2018

Ceremony for new Canadians held at EINP JOHN MATHER Forty-one visitors from around the world were among visitors to Elk Island Park during National Park Day July 21. What was unique was they came from other countries but left as Canadian citizens.

It was the second time in park superintendent Dale Kirkland’s memory that a citizenship court had been held at the park, both on National Park Day. “We have such a beautiful setting here on the shores of Astotin Lake,” he said. “I think this makes a perfect location for people to become citizens.”

Citizenship judge Claude Villeneuve presided over the court.

“This is a small number of people getting their citizenship today,” he said. He added he presides over citizenship courts in Edmonton several times a week where up to 100 new Canadians are welcomed.

“This is a proud moment for all of you,” he told the 41 soon to be citizens. “But also a great moment for all Canadians as well.”

He reported the newcomers had been working hard since arriving in this country, learning about its languages and culture and becoming

part of the community.

“Now you are about to make Canada your country,” he proclaimed.

You are going to have to adapt to a new culture and climate,” Villeneuve said.

“Just imagine trying to explain -30 degrees back home,” he said to chuckles from the crowd.

On obtaining citizenship, he added, “Your hard work, determination and resilience are about to be rewarded.”

“You have every reason to be proud of yourselves.”

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood offered the new citizens a hearty

“Welcome home.”

“One of the things I value most about Canada is you don’t leave who you are at the border,” she stated.

“It’s the experience of retaining our culture that I love,” she said. “That’s what makes us Canadian.”

She encouraged the new citizenship to become involved in their communities.

“I’m glad you’ve chosen Canada… and Alberta as your new home.”

“What a special moment for each of you today,” added Lamont mayor Bill Skinner. “And thank you for allowing me to be part of it.”

“You’ve overcome many challenges to be here today to receive your citizenship.”

“This is a country where you and your family can live in safety and still be who you are,” he said and closed by offering his congratulations.

A new Canadian receives his citizenship certificate from Judge Villeneuve while Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner and other dignitaries look on.

14 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, July 25, 2018

Municipalities warned of elder abuse in rural areas JOHN MATHER A program dealing with elders abuse was introduced to Mundare council recently.

“Our elders are being abused in many ways and they don’t know where to turn,” said Lamont County FCSS chair Jody Conley.

“Family and Community Support Services has teamed up with Beaver County, County of Minburn, County of Two Hills, and Flagstaff County to from a coalition making our citizens aware of elder abuse in rural areas.”

She added the elder abuse could occur in many ways from beatings, to neglect, not getting elders to their doctor visits or to hospital; or withholding their medicine.

After presenting the municipality with a binder outlining the ways elder abuse can occur, she told council that it presented them

with agencies and contacts that could help those being abused.

“If an elder reports immediate danger,” she added. “Just call 911.”

She reported if the elder doesn’t feel comfortable speaking with town officials, they should be directed to their local pharmacist, “because the often more comfortable talking to their pharmacist.”

Mayor Mike Saric asked if the town should put the binder in the front desk area for any-

one to access?

Conley replied that was fine and there was a form which could be filled out by the elder who felt abused and then the proper authorities could be contacted.

If they were living in a lodge or hospital and felt they were being abused, she added there was a patient coalition that should be contacted.

Otherwise the FCSS would be able to direct the elder to the right agency.

“We’re trying to cover

everything from the violence to just someone feeling neglected because their children aren’t coming by to visit.”

Mundare will put some of the information into the monthly newsletter, but Conley said full training from experts was available if people wanted the courses.

She added hospitals and lodge had their own protocols when it came to dealing with possible elder abuse.

isolation issues.”

“We have to train our staffs and public on the issues, to be able to identify signs of elder abuse and know that there are things you can do.”

She adds the coalition was started about three years ago and the groups decided to create a protocol binder. That was what Conley presented to Mundare.

Rindero stated there would now be a public awareness campaign designed to present more information to municipalities in Lamont County throughout the fall. In addition the binders are available to any community group or business interested in pursuing more information.

Rindero said it took the coalition a while to discover all the resources available in the rural areas and then design a protocol that could be used by anyone.

These blanket classified ads are produced through a joint agreement by The Community Press, Viking Weekly Review, Lamont Leader, Tofield Mercury and Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association (AWNA). These ads appear in all AWNA member papers (120 papers) for the cost of $269.00 (+gst) for the first 25 words, $8.00 per word over 25.

SUDOKU

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column, and box. Each number can only appear once in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

New by-law replaces Bruderheim’s tax free for three policy JOHN MATHER Council discussed a rebate by-law to replace the tax-free for three program at council July 4.

Several homes had tax rebates given under the program.

CAO Podoborozny said the tax-free policy was first approved 2009.

It applied to the improvement portion of taxes only. In 2010, 2 new homes and one commercial addition were approved under the program; four homes and a multi-family apartment were granted rebates in 2011. There were 7 homes and a commercial addition approved in 2102; 7 homes in 2013; four new homes in 2014; six new homes and a commercial/industrial development in 2015, seven new homes and one multifamily residential unit in 2016 and five new homes in 2017.

The tax rebates provided under the program from 2010 totalled roughly $260,000, she told council, with funds from the land sales reserve fund used to offset the rebates.

The tax free for three would be terminated on

approval of the new rebate by-law. She told council the tax free for three had bee policy rather than a by-law.

Mayor Hauch was concerned the taxes earned after expiration of the tax-free for three wasn’t accounted for.

Councillor George Campbell was concerned about the total rebated, but Hauch reminded him the benefits weren’t shown which had been his concern.

Deputy Mayor Lee asked if the bylaw was needed because interpretation of the tax-free for three wasn’t being explained properly.

CAO Podoborozny blamed realtors for not communicating the program to prospective clients. For example, she said, the program started upon construction so a property sold a year and half after construction would only had a year and half of eligibility left under the tax free for three when it was sold.

Under the new by-law people would have to come in every year to pay their taxes and the rebates would then be

applied. It would allow the community to better police the program.

She added before the bylaw received three readings there would be public hearings on the changes.

Bike racks not popular Deputy mayor Pat Lee asked administration for an update on installing bicycle racks in the downtown area.

Chief Administrative officer Patty Prodoborozny reported to council many businesses asked about having racks installed weren’t to keen on the

idea.

“In addition, we have to consider our sidewalk widths when installing the racks,” she said. “We will be putting some up, but we have to be careful where we located them.”

Housecleaning ends session Several policies were updated as general housekeeping prior to council breaking for the summer. Most dealt with changes to the town’s zoning and land use bylaws as they related to the community’s annexation of lands on the south and east side of the town.

Old bleachers pulled from Bruderheim Ag. Grounds JOHN MATHER It will be up to organizers of the Bruderheim ATV races and the upcoming Model T races to rent bleachers at the agriculture grounds if they want to provide spectator seating.

The agricultural society removed the wood and steel bleachers from the grounds recently because they weren’t up to code.

“The wood was starting to go in them,” said Bruderheim Agricultural Society president Mario McIntyre. “They also weren’t up to code for things like accessibility, height of railings and other areas.”

He said ultimately the agricultural society wants to replace the bleachers but that will cost into “the tens of thousand of dollars.”

McIntyre did say the society is working with

the town to come up with a fundraising program so plans to purchase new bleachers can move ahead.

“In the meantime it’s bring your own seats,” he said. He went on to explain the society isn’t the organizer of either the ATV races or Model T races the following weekend.

“It’s up to those organizers to provide seating,” he said. “I believe they’re working with the town on something.”

Bruderheim director of Planning and Legislative Services Sherry Cote said she thinks there will be rental bleachers at the agriculture grounds for these events.

“I know the bleachers were removed because they weren’t up to code, but it’s up to the event organizers to provide some seating,” she said.
