Weather and site conditions at new Lamont lodge prove challenging Michelle Pinon Editor
The recent snowfall, coupled with the latest rain is causing major headaches and delays at the construction site of the new Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge in Lamont. Project manager Kim Rolheiser with Brenex Building Corporation, told the Lamont Leader on Oct. 26 that the recent snowfall couldn’t have come at a worse time. While the snow melted, it did not dry up, and as a result, the construction site on 52 Avenue and 52 Street remains a total and complete mud bog. “It’s
(mud) is three feet thick…It’s the muddiest I can remember.” The weather has pushed back the schedule, and in an attempt to keep progress moving forward, Kim has resorted to moving rig mats on site so the heavy equipment can get the trusses lifted into place. “This is only the second time in 33 years as a contractor that I’ve used rig mats on a commercial construction site,” stated Kim. It’s a race against Mother Nature and time, and the goal is to have all of the trusses and roof on as soon as humanly possible. “That’s why we can’t wait for freeze up.”
The spring and summer months were also challenging for crews. The constant rain, coupled with soft ground, has also put a damper on construction. “Every second day we were draining water away from the site.” Kim has also had to have the mud scrapped away, and gravel laid down in order for heavy equipment to continue working on site. “It’s unfortunate we started when we started,” added Kim, as Mother Nature has been relentlessly pounding the area with constant precipitation over the past six months. Being at the mercy of Mother Nature, and only
able to employ a limited number of tactics available, it seems like they
are indeed fighting a losing battle. “As contractors we are very resilient, and are trying to remain positive.” However, he does a d m i t morale amongst construct i o n workers has suffered, but he is not prepared to lay down the MICHELLE PINON PHOTO s h o v e l , Construction workers continue to battle but realistically the elements on the work site.
speaking, the project’s timeline has been pushed back, and the contractor’s budget will be negatively impacted as a result. Every two weeks Alberta Social Housing and Lamont County Housing officials and representatives meet with the contractor, and will definitely have lots to talk about when they meet next on Thursday, Nov. 3. “Even though site conditions and the weather has been challenging, progress is being made and we are proud to provide Lamont with a new senior’s facility”.

Final countdown on for Motel 6 opening in Bruderheim Michelle Pinon Editor
Dion Maile can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
facility will soon be opening to the public. The final touches are being done inside, and paving is expected to be done outside this week,
tive employees with the doors to swing open in a couple of weeks from now. Maile said Motel 6 will be employing around 15 local people. “Most, (99 per cent) of applicants are from Bruderheim with a small number being from neighbouring towns. The hotel will be a 24/7 operation with 24 hour front desk and lounge with VLTs and a coin operated laundry. In addition, there is a continental breakfast in the mornings, free Wi-Fi for guests, and a fitness room. All of the suites have been equipped with kitchenettes. As well there is a meeting room that will be able to accommodate up to 40 people. Maile, who has been in the hospitality industry for more than 25 years, said his top priority is to offer customer service
Motel 6 General Manager Dion Maile, by the front desk, is almost ready to welcome guests. The new General Manager of Motel 6 in Bruderheim was excited to share the news that the four storey 60 unit
so things are starting to shape up just fine. This past Friday, Maile was conducting final interviews for prospec-
that is second to none as well as a product that is technologically advanced, and amenities that are fresh and desired, and that will let guests be at home in the space. Maile said he was initially contacted by a recruiter that was employed by the company. “I was piqued because it naturally a step up for me in my career, and then the fact that its a brand new hotel built from shipping containers, and getting to plan the opening is all too exciting.” The steel modular units were constructed an installed by Ladacor Ltd. The sod turning for the $6 million project was held on Sept. 23, 2015, and company officials and the developer Boris Javorski have not looked back since. There has been a strong buzz in the com-
munity for the past couple of months, and residents along with the Town of Bruderheim are excited for opening day to arrive. Back on June 18, 2015 Hauch stated during the Motel 6 open house that: “So, this hotel, once up and running will provide employment for our residents as well as bring
more folks into town, which will be a boon to the businesses in town, hair salon, gas stations, restaurants, grocery store, etc. And finally, more business in town helps bring more, much needed business tax dollars to help reduce the tax burden on our residential tax base.”

Trespassing: Crops in Lamont County crushed by snowmobilers Municipality issues warning because of crop damage SUBMITTED ARTICLE It should be no surprize to learn that this year’s harvest is delayed. We are already into November and up to 60% of Lamont County’s
crops still need to be harvested. The unusually cold and wet weather has added delay after delay and then, to add insult to injury, it snowed while
Snowmobilers riding in Lamont County have been officially put on notice.
crops were still standing or swathed and drying. The delayed harvest means that crops are extremely vulnerable to damage, even more so when being run over by snowmobiles, as was the case after the snowfall. Many farmers, while already burdened by the harvest delay and snowfall, have had to worry about the damage done by snowmobilers driving over their livelihood. This behavior has led to a general plea and reminder from Lamont County to all snowmobilers: please consider the County’s producers and do not access their fields without permission. While snowmobiling is a fun and exciting outdoor activity, snowmobilers need to be aware
that anyone who, without permission, enters land that is under cultivation, such as a farmer’s field, is trespassing. Under the Petty Trespass Act, snowmobiling on a land owner’ property without permission is punishable with a fine up to $2000 or $5000 for a second offense. Regardless of the fine, punishment shouldn’t be the motivation for proper behavior. Simply have respect for our producers and the hard work they do that all too often goes unrecognized. If you know of anyone who will be snowmobiling when the snow returns, remind them of their responsibilities and the law. Thank you for being good and considerate neighbors.

Opinion Vegreville blindsided by closure of Case Processing Centre Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs, rose in the House of Commons Oct. 28 to question the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada regarding the planned closure and hold the Liberal Government to account on the proposed closure of the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville. “Yesterday, Vegreville was blindsided. The Liberals will shut down the Immigration Case Processing Centre. That means the jobs of 280 people will be gone, and 250 spousal jobs will be impacted. Three local businesses are owned by worker families, and a quarter of the students in the town’s schools are kids of workers,” Stubbs said. “No consulting, no consideration of costs or spin off consequences. Will the Minister stop this out of touch, deliberate attack? It will devas-
Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs tate the people in and around Vegreville.” In response, Minister McCallum claimed “there is a very strong business case to shift this operation from Vegreville to Edmonton…” But that directly contradicts comments in a meeting in Vegreville on October 27, 2016 where senior officials shocked employees and municipal representatives with the announcement of the decision. Officials were
asked directly whether a full cost analysis had been completed. The answer was “no”. Mike Brecht, the Prairie representative for the Canada Employment and Immigration Union (CEIU) was left perplexed after this announcement. “A meeting was held with Paul Armstrong and Robert Orr,” Mike said. “During this meeting, the union asked the question as to what was done to ensure fiscal responsibility. Was there a cost analysis done? Was the option of opening a satellite office in Edmonton considered? The response to both questions was no.” No employees or administrators in CPC Vegreville were consulted in advance about the closure, nor were municipal representatives or officials advised, or sought for input on the economic impact assess-
ment and spin off consequences on Vegreville, in advance of the announcement. Town Manager Cliff Craig said they were not warned beforehand, having just heard this news during the announcement: “The decision has already been made and the planning has apparently been for the past six months. As far as a municipality, we had no input. We didn’t even know about this. There was no consultation with the municipality,” said Mr. Craig. In response to Stubbs in the House of Commons Friday, Mini ster McCallum also said: “Everybody working in Vegreville will have an opportunity to work at the new location…”, but, in fact, letters of offer and relocation provisions apply only to indeterminate (permanent
full time) staff , of which there are approximately 135. The remaining temporary and contract workers, more than half of the current staff, some who have worked in CPC Vegreville for nearly a decade, are not eligible for relocation coverage to Edmonton. “Obviously, Minister McCallum doesn’t get that Vegreville is 100 kilometers away from Edmonton, and, on average, housing prices in Edmonton are over $100, 000 higher than in Vegreville, so the lack of relocation provisions effectively kills the jobs of ineligible employees who can’t afford to commute. Most of the people who work in CPC Vegreville won’t be covered,” MP Stubbs said. Employees asked officials about the potential to work remotely with the new location in Edmonton, using
‘Telework’, but were told that was not an option, and would not be considered. Most of the processing work in CPC Vegreville is done through electronic application processes. In the House of Commons, Stubbs pressed the Minister: “Vegreville cannot afford to take another hit. Farmers and energy families are already struggling and the Liberal’s planned carbon tax will hurt them even more. There are 100 houses on the market in town. This will mean 200 more,” MP Stubbs said. “A single mother of two, who had actually moved from Edmonton to Vegreville to raise her kids in rural life, cannot commute or afford to relocate. Will the Mini ster reverse this decision, save her job, and all of the others?”
Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Littlewood calls for action My family along with the whole community of Vegreville and neighbouring areas have been shocked and saddened by the announcement from the Federal Government that Vegreville Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Case Processing Centre, after being here for 22 years, would be closed by the end of 2018 and moved to Edmonton. These hard working public employees serve with dedication, and are valuable in this community. This is echoed by the numerous people I have heard from by phone and email and that have come into my office.
This is devastating to the employees and their families that rely on these jobs, and to the town of Vegreville that would be greatly impacted. When an employer that provides 280 jobs leaves a small municipality, businesses suffer, amenities are lost, employees need to travel to go to work, resulting in less time spent with family, more time on the highway, and the sustainability of the community is further compromised. Vegreville is centred around community and volunteering that provide programs for our kids, seniors, entrepreneurs and others that would be lost if not for
Fort SaskatchewnVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood the generosity of these employees time. Many of these workers also live on and operate farms. It has been stated correctly that Vegreville is not an urban centre, and rather than this being seen as a weak-
ness, this should be viewed as a strength. Off farm income is a reality for many farm families these days. Having a job that can help support the family that cultivates the land keeps farms viable, and when we support our Agricultural economy, we support the people that are passionate about value-added Agriculture. This direction will support our whole province as we move towards a more diversified, more resilient economic future in Alberta. Urban drift is something that continues to affect our province. Our children grow up out here, go through school,
and then pick where they want to go for post-secondary education, and many of those choices land our young people in large urban centres. Some come back when they decide where to grow their careers and their family, however many do not. This has great impact on the quality of life across rural Alberta. When we lose people, our businesses suffer. If we lose those amenities, it’s harder to find investment. When we lose investment, we lose opportunity. A lack of opportunity, leads to not being able to attract people, and so that vicious cycle begins again.
We need to call collectively on the our Federal government and urge the Prime Minister, Minister McCallum and the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and ask that they review why they are proposing to close the Vegreville Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Case Processing Centre and work to reverse the decision. Please visit my office at 4927 – 51 Avenue Vegreville, AB or 9925B – 104 Street Fort Saskatchewan, AB to sign our petition. With hope, Jessica Littlewood, MLA

From Where I Sit: Saved The Day
By Hazel Anaka A couple of months ago we spent a Sunday celebrating at our son’s house near Sherwood Park. It was Greg’s suggestion that we do something bigger than just dinner out to mark Hilary’s latest achievement. They have a large house that is very conducive to entertaining large groups. After clearing it with Hilary, we were happy to begin planning. It’s been a tough slog but our girl has a way of finishing what she starts. While working full-time for a national company she earned a Master of Arts degree in P r o f e s s i o n a l Communication from Royal Roads University
in Victoria, BC. This twoyear program coincided with the Fort McMurray wildfire and some of the biggest challenges in the Alberta economy to face industry in a very long time. Communicating the company’s plans during a contraction in the economy and amid hundreds of layoffs required a lot of meetings, overtime, and travel. Through it all, she performed beautifully. Like for many of us, Hilary’s path from Point A to Point B isn’t always the shortest or most direct route. Like many eighteen year olds she began her studies at the University of Alberta. By the end of her second year, she had a full-time dream job at the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. To her credit, she didn’t quit school. She took a smaller course load and juggled a demanding fulltime job, school, and the usual young-woman-in-thecity activities. Eventually, she decided that earning her MA would broaden her
options and so she set her sights on that goal. Hence the party. We chose to simplify our lives somewhat by getting most of the meal catered. I ordered a DQ ice cream cake. I brought vases from home and did four different floral arrangements. The most fun was selecting and printing fourteen different grad/success type quotes that I stuck to the wall with painter’s tape.
From a goofy one (Thank you Google, Wikipedia, and whoever invented copy and paste) to solemn ones, I loved the search and the selection. When Dr. Seuss says—“ You’ve got brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”—-you know you’ve hit pay dirt. When Ellen Degeneres says, “Life is like one big Mardi Gras.
But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you’ll have more beads than you know what to do with.” The guest list consisted of our smallish family, her godfather and his wife, and just four of her friends. The crowd ranged in age from eighty-four years to about sixteen months. Two of the men are
engaged. One of the other guests is a confirmed curmudgeon who rails against anything less than mainstream narrow-mindedness. Luckily, there were no fireworks in this diverse crowd. It helps when the group and space are large enough for several small group discussions on a variety of topics. Like so often, Trump talk saved the day, more than once, from where I sit.

Sport of floor curling draws seniors together Michelle Pinon Editor
Floor curling is good exercise and a great way to meet people, that was the overall consensus of participants during the Oct. 18 bonspiel at the Mundare Senior Citizens Centre. Club President and chief organizer Marrien Chudyk, said they are blessed to have a nice facility and keen members who love to play the game. Merrien, who also serves as the Area 7 Director of the Alberta Floor Curling Association, (AFCA), was so pleased to host the event which had a total of 16 teams and 64 players from throughout the region. There was even a team from outside the region compete. That team was comprised of Emil and Carol Schiller and Ed and Joan Leiman of the Flatbush area. Emil, who is the President of the AFCA, was happy to be in Mundare at the invitation of Marrien. “I just come and visit and have a good time,” said Emil, who has enjoyed serving as AFCA president for the past four years. In fact, Emil said floor curling “really supports our building” and in large part keeps the doors of the Flatbush hall open. Floor curling has also proven to be very popular in Mundare with an average of 25 members coming out to play every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. One of those members is Darlene Huchulak who moved to Mundare around seven-eight years ago. After trying floor curling only once, Huchulak was hooked. “I just love it.” She is also very grateful the club has enough members to play the indoor sport. Huchulak, loves the relaxed, friendly and fun atmosphere of the club, and likes the fact they rote the players on each of the teams as well as their positions on a regular basis so they get to know more about each other and the nuances of the various positions and the challenging sport itself. “We’ve also put Mundare on the map,” noted Huchulak, who is a member of the 2016 team that won the Alberta Floor Curling Provincial Championship this past June. Judy Shaw, Ed Perlik, and Helen Zachoda were her teammates, and she is proud of that fact they were able to achieve top spot.
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Pictured from left to right are the visiting floor curling team from Flatbush: Joan and Ed Leiman, and Carol and Emil Schiller, with Marrien Chudyk, President of the Mundare Senior Citizens Club. The Mundare Senior Citizens club hosts two bonspiels a year, and Huchulak looks forward to them, along with travelling to other clubs throughout the region. Some of the other clubs include: Vegreville, Tofield, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Morinville, Villeneuve, Onoway, Barrhead, Westlock, Dapp, Fawcett, Flatbush, Jarvie, Whitecourt, Mayerthorpe, Edson, and Redwater. Even though it’s nice to win, Marsha Woloschuk simply loves the sport because it allows her to get out of the house, get some exercise, and meet people. The 84-year-old, who use to play ice curling, floor curls twice a week. She especially likes having a cup of coffee afterwards with her floor curling counterparts. Gloria Balla has been floor curling for 30 years, and loves the camaraderie she has found with other players. She participates as well as volunteers with other activities at the Mundare Senior Citizens Centre. “I’m here most days,” said Balla, who calls bingo Tuesday night. She also helps stuff perigees with filling in preparation for the monthly perogy supper which is held the third Friday of each month with the exception of December, January, July and August. Marrien said the perogy supper is well attended, with an average of 200 people per month. Gloria said her involvement with the senior citizens club has allowed her to meet many people, and she has gained many good friends in the process. She
highly recommends joining the club. Membership is open and available to anyone over 18 years of age.

“Don’t let people tell you you can’t go places and do great things,� said Andrew School Assistant Principal Greg Cruickshank, during the closing of the annual awards ceremony on Oct. 27. A great example of his words was former Andrew School student and former Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach who was on hand to present the Ed Stelmach Community Foundation Scholarship to Cassandra Ostashek, who was unable to attend as she is currently studying at the University of Lethbridge. Standing in for Cassandra were her parents Rick and Lillian Ostashek. Stelmach said one of the prerequisites for the $2,500 was a good mark in social studies, and that his interest and love of politics started at Andrew School. Stelmach said Ostashek has an incredible list of awards that she has received, and had not doubt she will do well and complete her studies. Ostashek also earned the Governor General Award for highest average in academic courses, Premier’s Citizenship Award, Jean and Gregory Moisey Scholarship for community service, leadership, honesty, and humanitarian activities. She also earned the Student Council Award and the RICOH Scholarship for her optimism, resilience, work ethic, knowledge and success in successfully graduating with an Alberta High School Diploma. Cassandra is enrolled in the faculty of education at the University of Lethbridge, with plans to become a Grade 12 math teacher. Another multi-award winner was Geoffrey Bryks, who was also unable to attend the awards ceremony, is currently studying at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. His mom Wanda stepped in to accept the Edward Stawnichy Charitable
Foundation Scholarship for academic achievement and entrance to post secondary education. Bryks was also awarded the Lee Mac Scholarship to the student who best exemplifies a high level of proficiency in both athletics and academics, as well as the Lions Legacy Scholarship to the students who satisfies the entrance requirements for a post secondary institution, demonstrates leadership qualities, recognized as an individual of honesty and integrity, and displaying a commitment to their community. Bryks, along with Cassie Melenka, Cassandra Ostashek, Emily Slasynski were the Grade 12 recipients of the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship. Grade 11 student Dawson Danyluk and Grade 10 students Colby Foreman, Addison Ng, Kalahya Sidor, and Alex Slasynski also received the Alexander Rutherford Scholarship. Students with the highest academic average were presented awards in addition to honour and merit certificates. citizenship, athletic and drama awards were also handed out. The Andrew Lions Club also made a contribution to the Breakfast for Learning Program.

Bruderheim seniors enjoy Thanks & Giving turkey dinner Michelle Pinon Editor
A total of 70 people were treated to turkey and all the trimmings courtesy of Cenovus Energy the evening of October 20 at the Bruderheim Senior Citizens Centre. Megan Marshall, creator of the company’s Thanks & Giving initiative was on hand for the event, and couldn’t contain her excitement and smiles for everyone in the crowd. Marshall served turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, perogies, sour cabbage rolls, mixed vegetables, and ceasar salad to the seniors and special guests along with seven of her colleagues. One of those colleagues was Ben Miller, who Marshall selected to be an MICHELLE PINON PHOTO ambassador for the event.

Andrew School hosts highly successful 8th annual Harvest Lunch Michelle Pinon Editor
The tradition of building a stronger school and community ties continues on in Andrew. The most recent example of that came on Wednesday, Oct. 26 when students, staff, parents, and community members came together to share turkey and all the trimmings at the school’s Harvest Lunch. It was the eighth consecutive year for the Harvest Lunch that was initiated by teacher Mrs. Tirschmann.”We are the
only school that is K-12, so this was a way to get the older students mixing with the younger students to become leaders and interact and care for the students in the school,” said educational assistant Wanda Bryks. “It was also to have Andrew School have more activities and involvement in their community.” She went on to say, “It has been a very positive experience for all who come. The students are divided into group tables with students from each grade so the older ones
and younger ones can associate. Community members have a time to sit and have a nice meal plus visit other community members, parents, staff and students.” All of the food for the lunch was donated by students, staff, parents and community members. Junior high and elementary students help prepare the food for the Harvest Lunch. “Each day a certain grade came in to help.” It was a big undertaking to prepare and cook six turkeys, three huge canners of potatoes, two large pots
of veggies and stuffing, as well as a variety of tarts and squares. It was a great deal of work and Bryks said special thanks should be extended to Tanya Gelhert and Lucy Stratichuk for organizing and running of the Harvest Lunch. There’s always a great turnout for the event that does so much more than fill empty bellies. The sustenance it offers is something which enriches the lives of everyone involved. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Nearly 200 people attend AIHA information meeting SUBMITTED ARTICLE Local industrial facilities are on pace for steady growth in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Over twenty companies and organizations shared details about their future plans and activities at the bi-annual Heartland Community Information Evening on October 20 in Gibbons hosted by Life in the Heartland. Trade show style booths allowed the crowd of nearly 200 people to converse directly with company representatives. The community’s interests focused on construction activities, traffic, environmental monitoring, and employment. Four presentations provided updates on specific construction projects, community investment, and new initiatives.
Among the presenters was Inter Pipeline’s Michelle Dawson, Director of Public and Regulatory Affairs who summed up the sentiment of the evening in commenting, “We are strong and stable, and believe in the tremendous opportunity for further development in Alberta. We look forward to exploring new opportunities in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland such as Canada’s first propane dehydrogenation project.” Additional presenters included Fort Air Partnership, who reported on the successful addition of an air quality monitoring station in the Town of Gibbons; North West Redwater Partnership highlighted that phase one of the Sturgeon Refinery project is scheduled for completion in September

Grandpa as a farmer your worries are over, Lie down and rest your head; With pitchfork hung inside the barn, Cattle bedded no more to be fed; You raised a fine family, working the land, Often a jagged and stony way; Your love of God’s soil has passed on to your kin, Here now is the end of your day; Your labor is done, your home now in heaven, No more must you wait; Your legacy lives on, your love of the land, And we WILL remember to close the gate! To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Quattek Farm Nov. 6, 1966 - Nov. 6, 2016 when Grandpa would have turned 85! Thank you Dad & Grandpa Gus!
