Contestants compete in classes from 5 to 10 or open classes, in which the total number of each team members’ combined ranking does not exceed the class number. The couple competes in the Alberta Team Cattle Penning Society ( ATCPS) circuit, which r uns over the course of the summer and has finals in September, as well as attends various jack pots. According to Naomi, they compete in dif ferent teams at each event, which takes a lot of coor dinating. They compete on eight teams each per day. Last year, the couple qualified for the Calgary Stampede and
placed first in the 10 class, with a winning time which was faster than that of the opening class full of the top ranked contestants. “Our team r eally clicked and it was nice that we got to be on the same team for that win,” she said. This year at the Ponoka Stampede Scott placed first in his 9 class and Naomi earned first place in her 10 class, and both plan to continue competing. “We really are addicted. We love it. It is high energy, fast-paced, and lots of fun with good people. Anyone interested in starting or trying team penning can contact a Board Member of ATCPS for more information on how to get involved.”

Skaro Shrine in Lamont County
Memories of the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at Skaro Annie Sevcik credits those who keep tradition alive
By JAIMEE RUSSNAK Caribou Publishing
As the annual pilgrimage to the Gr otto of Our Lady of Lourdes at the site of Skar o, Alberta approaches, Annie Sevcik, of Viking, recalls fond memories of trips to the pilgrimage and credits those who have kept the tradition alive for so many years. The pilgrimage takes place each year August 14 and 15 to mark the feast of Mary’s Assumption into heaven. The Skaro Shrine was built by local Polish pioneers to r eplicate the more famous shrine of Our Lady at Lour des, France. Sevcik has not been to Skaro since the passing of her husband, Ernest Sevcik, but said that she and Ernie made the annual journey to Skar o for “a good 15 to 20 years,” the last time being the year her husband was diagnosed with cancer, three years ago. “We loved going. We started going because Ernie’s parents always talked about what a great experience it was. Once we started, we never missed.” Sevcik said that the pilgrimage mass was always “absolutely beautiful. It was at night on the 14th, and with everyone’s candles lit it was something to see. “And the flowers. They would have beautiful flowers everywher e, and live flowers on every
grave at the cemetery . That is probably the only time the whole year each grave has flowers at the same time. No one is left out.” More flowers wer e also laid out by the flower girls in the pr ocession, which was led by the Archbishop, and included members of the Knights of Columbus and many priests, she said. The sheer number of people in attendance was always a sour ce of amazement as well. “There were always around 3000 people and a lot of people br ought lawn chairs or sat on the grass because ther e just wasn’t enough seating. And they came fr om all over. Every year ther e would be at least six or seven charter busses full of people.” Among those wer e Sevcik and often a lar ge number from Viking as well. “We used to meet up with a lot of people from Viking and our priest used to go, too,” said Sevcik. She said that each year the pilgrimage would be their first stop on an extended camping trip, and that sometimes she and her husband wer e joined by two of her grandsons, who often spent much of the summer visiting with them. “We would always have a lot of fun, joking around and playing cards. It was a nice mix with the prayer . And a great way to start a vaca-
tion.” Sevcik said that during the day at Skar o there was often a market to buy r eligious articles, as well as a concession and big dinner . “We would stay for the first day and mass, and often for a morning mass the next day.” She noted that they were usually lucky with the weather, enabling them to enjoy the beautiful outdoor Shrine and mass, but sometimes the weather threatened. “Sometimes there were thunderstorms in the evening or heavy clouds, but, you just got your umbrella and stuck it out. I r emember once it just rained buckets. It rained and rained. They packed us in the chur ch like sardines. But you stayed and still enjoyed it because you were dedicated.” And, she said that the dedication of those who organize the pilgrimage each year is incr edible. “Year after year they make it beautiful.” Although it has been a few years since she has returned to the Skar o Shrine, she thinks of it often and in a positive light. “When you get older like me, it is harder to sit on the benches or lawn chairs, but I would still go again and would like to. And I would tell other people to go. It’s a good experience. Very good, actually. And once you go, you won’t want to miss it either.”
KERRY ANDERSON Elk Island National Park officials say that three separate sightings of black bears have been made within the park just south of Lamont in the past six weeks. The discovery was made by a r esearcher studying weasels in Elk Island National Park. Twice a black bear was caught by a motion-sensor camera while looking for bait left for fishers. Although the bears are quite uncommon in the area, a park ecologist Martha Allen says they still expect one or two a year. This year, there have been three separate sightings reported by visitors to the park. All have been in completely different areas. Allen admits though, that it could very well be the same bear each time. However, it is just as possible that it could be up to three bears. Judging by on-camera size she suspects at least two. Elk Island Park is surrounded by a six foot fence, so the bear(s) either had to find an opening, burrow beneath, or come through either of the two mainly unguarded road entrances.

Opinion
Farmers need coffee gatherings and inclusion In a recent survey by Newsweek (April 10/14), it was reported that the occupation with the highest suicide rate is‌ police?, fir emen? oilfield?. Nope The surprising answer is: farmer. There are a gr eat number of farming suicides reported, however what makes the rate the highest of all occupations is the number that are apparently not reported says the research. The number can't be pinpointed. Many so called accidents from hunting and machinery ar e in fact suicides says Newsweek. Farmers have access to all types of danger ous equipment, plus firearms and poisons. The research reports farmers falling to their deaths from the top of silos, hanging fr om wells, and falling into harvesters quite on purpose. Farmer suicides are high in Canada, but in the USA they are almost twice as fr equent as that of the general population. Australia reports a farmer suicide every four days, every two days in France, and every single day in the UK. Farmer suicides in India are some 17,627 per year. Farmers to the general public can be per ceived as care-free, self-employed people who work from home. But the r eality of the situation is that they are small business people whose price is set by government regulations. They ar e solitary cr eatures, often working by themselves doing r epetitive, mundane tasks for long periods at a time. A farmer often can not get away from his or her profession, due to dependance of the stock, and is on-call 24-hours per day. There can be no sick days for farmers. They ar e at the mer cy of financial pressure, livestock disease, climate conditions, insects, poor harvest, and government intervention. Pressure like this can lead to the mental issues which cause suicides. Now combine that with the added pressure of being in a macho industry where someone who complains about mental illness could be ostracized by his or her peers. The one thing farmers have going for them that many small business owners don't is this peer group. No small town is complete without the image of a group of farmers sitting together at the local coffee shop. These peers tease, chat, laugh, and gossip in their bull sessions, but they also discuss crops, techniques, equipment, and support one another on a regular basis. There is no question that these coffee shops are the homes of mental r eparation for our farmers. But while there, perhaps the discussion should be about the farmer who isn't ther e and doesn't participate. A friendly invitation to the cof fee shop could go a long way in helping an isolated farmer with depression issues. Kerry Anderson

In its first year Nationally , last year, Bruderheim received four out of five blooms. A winning score Nationally would make Bruderheim eligible to compete Internationally, which is rar e indeed for a little town of under 1,500 people in East Central Alberta. So there was a lot of excitement and anticipation as National CIB judges Lorna McIlr oy of Grande Prairie and T ed Zarudny from Orangeville, Ontario arrived in Bruderheim in the morning and toured literally every single street in town.

mation on the town, plus they looked at our website before coming here. They also did a previous tour of Br uderheim without anyone knowing," said Bruderheim CIB Chairperson Sherry Cote. There' s also GPS so judges have a good idea of what your town looks like normally, so you can' t clean it up in hopes of fooling the judges, she added. CIB National Judges check out tidiness, landscaping, heritage conservation, floral, environmental awareness, and urban forestry but consider them all within business, municipal and r esidential categories. Five residences were chosen for their particular beauty and the judges visited them and a few other chosen sites in town. One
stop at the Ewasiuk r esidence resulted in the judges being shown a chunk of the famous Bruderheim Meteorite which rattled the gr ound when it crashed to earth in 1960. After a full day of viewings, the judges were honoured guests at an awar ds banquet that evening where the Br uderheim Committee presented plaques of appreciation to a number of people and or ganizations which helped them succeed and progress during the past year. Mayor Karl Hauch was Master of Ceremonies for the evening, and allowed every person pr esent the ability to speak about Communities in Bloom. Of the close to 100 in attendance at the Community Hall, several spoke

about beautifying the town, but even more spoke about the pride they have in Bruderheim. "That' s the thing people don' t understand about Communities in Bloom," said Cote. "Pride is what it is about... and bringing people together. Bruderheim has done an incredible job of that. “We get amazing support from our town council,” she said. “They make it clear to us that Ô You are important.’” The Town understands the benefits of CIB with the publicity it creates. It promotes more access to grants, and instills pride of citizenship by r ecognizing residents. One such r esident - Oleatha Lukawesky - was r ecognized by the Bruderheim Committee at the
banquet as having won a national residential garden award through Communities in Bloom last year. But Bruderheim’s success in CIB is somewhat expected. “It doesn' t matter what the cause,” said Cote, “the people of Bruderheim get the job done.” She pointed out that the new playground was done in thr ee months when people thought it might take a year just to raise the money. "Now we' re working together for a new ar ena. It is something our community r eally needs... and our community comes together when we want to achieve something."

Lamont Summer Sizzler Rodeo and Community Fair 2014 edition
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS Mother Nature tried to pull a fast one by dropping around three inches of rain prior to the start of the Summer Sizzler Rodeo & Community Fair on July 25. But thanks to the hardworking volunteers with the Lamont & District Agricultural Society, the venue was ready for the 6 p.m. start of the rodeo Friday night. Ag. Society representative Terry Eleniak, presented Lamont Fire Department Chief John Helton with a $1,000 cheque in recognition of the organization’s support of its events.Trevor Schinkinger retained his championship title of Combine Krunch King. Webb’s sponsored the popular event along with Demolition Derby Daze. The parade, pancake breakfasts, farmers market, bench show, birdhouse building, sandpit, beer gardens and dance were very well attended by people from near and far.

Chipman development now eyingindustrial to bringjobs to area By JAIMEE RUSSNAK Caribou Publishing
Ted Rea Sr. of Chipman Development Company (CDC) said that while their first r esidential housing project, Coyote Commons, has not been as successful as they had wished, the company is concentrating on pr omoting its industrial properties in an ef fort to attract companies which will bring jobs to Chipman and cr eate demand for housing. He said Chipman has not seen any new r esidents yet, but that CDC has experienced success promoting industrial properties and have some announcements which will be made in the near future. However, the specifics of these pr omotional efforts are not public knowledge at this time. “I am sorry but I am not making public the efforts we are making to attract industrial users , that is classified info at this time and the companies involved will be disclosed in the near future,” said Rea Sr. According to Rea Sr ., CDC is owned by Triland International Inc., a 33 year old T exasbased real estate development company owned by the Canadian Rea family and a 104 year old major Texas-based insurance company. “CDC has acquired 1600 acres surrounding the Village of Chipman and has had it annexed into the Village. When we purchased the land there were to be six
upgraders built in the Alberta Heartland Industrial Park and they were to employ approximately 23,000 workers to build them. That did not happen, so we completed our annexation, the master planning of the lands , the creation of new Municipal Development plan, and updated the Village of Land Use Bylaws,” he said. “One of the r easons we chose Chipman was that the Village has existing water and sewer capacity for appr oximately 2200 new r esidents. The other r eason was the pro development attitude and cooperation of the Mayor and the council in Master Planning of the annexed lands. As our company has done major land developments in Texas , Georgia and Colorado we realize that these projects can take a long time to develop out and we as well as our T exas insurance company partner are committed to completing the development of the most ÔAffordable Master Planned Community’ and providing the most Ô Affordable Housing’ in the Edmonton Capital Region.” CDC is hopeful that its ongoing efforts will have a positive outcome in bringing residents to Chipman and look forward to making announcements regarding the development in the near future.
