125 Ukrainian settlers started it all
FROM FRONT
MAUREEN SULLIVAN Lamont County is officially the Cradle of Ukrainian settlement in Canada. To celebrate the County unveiled a plaque on Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Day, September 7. The day marks the culmination of events and initiatives celebrated over the past 18 months on the 125 anniversary of Ukrainian Settlement in Canada. To honour the anniversary, the first 125 Ukrainian settlers (and their families) who permanently settled in Lamont County (and who were chosen to be on a memorial plaque that was unveiled in the park behind the County building in Lamont) were honoured. In 1801 Ivan Pylypow and Wasyl Eleniak were the first Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. They fell in love with Canada and the opportunities it provided. They told family and friends in the
Ukraine of the vast amounts of rich land available. People came in large numbers from Galicia and Bukovyna to settle this part of Alberta with the first permanent settlers making homes in the Star and Chipman areas. By 1914 the Ukrainian block settlement in east central Alberta was spread over a territory of 2,500 square miles, and by 1930 over 50,000 people of Ukrainian decent lived in this region, making it the largest settlement of Ukrainians outside of Ukraine. Ivan Pylypow and his family settled north of Lamont, near Star; he died in 1936 at the age of 77. Wasyl Eleniak, along with his brother Peter, settled in the Chipman area. Peter settled there two years before his brother, while Wasyl continued to work on farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Wasyl farmed and raised a large family, passing in 1956 at the age of 97.

were made by the MC, former Premier Ed Stelmach. Reeve Wayne Woldanski introduced the honoured guests who included Lamont County Councillors Dan Warawa, Dave Diduck and his wife Reta, Neil Woitas, Roy Anaka and his wife Hazel; MLA, Jessica Littlewood; Town of Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner; Town of Bruderheim Deputy Mayor Pat Lee; Town of Mundare Councillor, Irene Talaga; Town of Lamont Councillor Kirk Perrin; Fr Ireane and Fr Alexi; MP Shannon Stubbs sent her regrets. "Today one in five Albertans has Ukrainian ancestry, including myself, that's pretty impressive. Those of you here today ‌ descendants of these pioneers, should all be proud of your ancestors and their heritage," said Reeve Woldanski. "The strength and determination that it took to create a life here 125 years ago runs
through your blood. It is the reason for the character and values we hold as a community today. We could not be the same place, or the same people without them." "Today we commemorate them and say thank you for coming to this land and for developing such a prosperous agricultural base . Thank you for all your hard work in giving birth to this community and to sum it all up thank you for your legacy." Woldanski went on to thank the County staff for their hard work in organizing this event and for all events celebrating the 125th year. Also a special thank you went to Radomir Bilash from the Alberta /Ukraine Genealogical Project who worked closely with the staff on this initiative. Bill Skinner gave greetings from the Town of Lamont. "We are fortunate to have over 345,000 people of Ukrainian Heritage in the province today. To have the
support them in celebrating the first 125 settlers today, as Alberta celebrates Ukrainian Heritage Day. Ukrainian settlers left their mark all over this land and provide us with a quality of life that we all appreciate today." Littlewood and Woldanski then unveiled the plaque.
unveiling of the plaque is a visual demonstration of the importance we place in the large Ukrainian influence we have within our community and surrounding area." Jessica Littlewood spoke on the importance of recognizing the hard work of the settlers. "Today is a very proud day for Lamont County, and I am so happy to

Mundare Council takes on many VIRTUAL REALITY ongoing issues at town meeting MAUREEN SULLIVAN The regular meeting of the Mundare Council occurred on Sept. 4. The meeting opened with resident Don Kupchenko addressing the council about a clean up that the town did to his yard after several attempts to get Mr. Kupchenko to comply with local bylaws. While he was pleased that the town had stepped in to help him remove items from his yard, he was concerned that he was not told when the crew would be there and alleged that items that he wanted to keep were removed from his yard. He also stated that he was slow to clean the yard himself because of ill health. Council opined that he
had received sufficient notice from the town about the cleanup and the onus was on Kupchenko to let the town know of any ill health. Council agreed to deduct some cost from the bill for cleanup in reference to items that were removed and will allow him to arrange a payment schedule for the cost of the cleanup. Council had previously agreed to update the software used by the town and were now advised by the CAO Colin Zyla that the age of the equipment meant it was time to update the hardware. Council voted to take $18,000 from reserves to pay for new computer hardware. Council discussed the need to budget for buy-
ing a new truck and replacing aging trucks. The issue will be further researched before any decisions are made. Grants have been applied for, to finance updates to the lift station. Council members, the CAO and public works foreman will be spending a weekend in October working with a Community Development Facillitator, setting goals and objectives for the town and arriving at ways to achieve them. Council agreed to sell a lot in town for one dollar for a new bakery. The lot being sold is 5123 50 Street in Mundare. The buyer already has building plans and will begin construction soon. Council mentioned
concerns about a homeowner finding needles on his property, and he will be advised to check with the pharmacy about proper disposal of these items. CAO Colin Zyla will look into the cost of equipping each councillor with laptops or ipads for town business. A request for a whiteboard to be kept in council chambers with a list of unfinished business was made. Council had a meeting with Dr. Rizvi about the possibility of his holding clinic in Mundare once a week. Discussions are ongoing. Council ended with an in camera discussion about the Medical Clinic - Section 17 - Third Party Interest.

If you visited the Mundare Public Library in the past two weeks, you could travel the world. A virtual reality device was ready to take you to visit fine museums, or play games. Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is created with software and presented to the user in such a way the user suspends
belief and accepts it as a real environment. To use the equipment you had to be 10 years or older and sign a waiver. According to librarian Evelyn Henke, some users may experience motion sickness. The device was available from Aug 28 to September 6. It was on loan from the Northern Lights Library System.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, September 12, 2018
Opinion Is President Trump the most famous person ever? A question came up this week that may ruffle some feathers, because the answer just might be “yes.” The question: Is US President Donald Trump the most famous person of all time? Famous doesn’t mean: the best person, or the worst; but simply the most well known. Love him or hate him, it is difficult to believe The Donald isn’t the most known person on the planet today. Because there are so many humans living on Earth today, it may also mean he is the most famous ever. To examine that point you simply have to identify a few "ations"; education, communication, and population. The only way a human being can be the most famous person in the history of the world, is if he/she is known to human beings presently living - and there are more people presently living than any time in Earth's history - around 7.8 billion. By the end of World War II, the most famous person living on the planet was German tyrant Adolf Hitler. Unfortunately most everyone knew of him, but there were only two billion people on the planet at the time. People today still know of Hitler, but peoples’ memories fade. History becomes blurred, or changed, or deleted (statues removed). New people are born who couldn’t care less about famous people from the past, their misguided right. Religious leaders, and mystical figures are famous among their believers however the world actually has so many religions, and non-believers, that it greatly decreases the actual fame of their great gods other than to themselves. In their time of greatest fame, there were relatively few people on the planet, most of whom could barely read (if at all) and there was practically no communication other than world of mouth. Another difficult wall, when it comes to past fame is certainly education. People in different parts of the world may have thought one person or another was the most famous from time to time, yet in other countries and areas of the planet the person was completely unknown. Sometimes we forget this in the sparcely populated Western World. The printing press was the first way to mass produce information and that wasn’t invented until the 15th Century. Books like The Bible were able to be reproduced on a massive scale for the first time. The unreliable word of mouth method of communication was overtaken, as were scribes who often took liberties when re-writing transcripts by hand. Newspapers, radio, and television followed, and they set a new standard for passing along information. However, much of the world then was guided by dictators who passed along misinformation and still do. Fake news is now on steroids, with the onset of social media and the internet, but so is fame. People become famous for absolutely no good reason today. President Trump is the most powerful person in the world, the most controversial, the most loved and also the most hated. Everyone knows of him, in both good and bad ways. Most famous ever? Just possibly. Others will argue Jesus, QEII, Napoleon, Amelia Earhart, Mohammed, Lincoln, Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana and of course Adolf Hitler have yet to be overtaken. Then again, if you asked the President himself... Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Canada’s crude oil profit margin is being railroaded When Canada's Federal Court of Appeal quashed the federal government’s approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, citing inadequate consultation with First Nations and concerns over marine tanker traffic, it was the latest blow in a bad few months for Canada’s heavy oil producers. Crude oil exports shipped by rail reached a record high and the depressed price for Canadian heavy crude got worse. The circumstances create more reminders that Canada must build new pipelines. Of course, there’s always been a price difference between Western Canada Select (WCS) and U.S. crude (West Texas Intermediate) due to transportation costs and the difference in quality between the two products. Between 2009 and 2012, the price differ-
ence was roughly 13 per cent of the U.S. crude price. But recently, this price difference has skyrocketed, reaching its widest gap in more than five years. According to Oil Sands Magazine, based on data from the first half of August, Canadian heavy crude traded for C$39.5 per barrel less than WTI, representing a striking 45 per cent price discount. The recent elevated discount means Canadian heavy oil producers will lose an estimated $15.8 billion this year alone in foregone revenues compared to what other producers of similar products will receive. This estimated loss is approximately 0.7 per cent of our national gross domestic product. What’s behind the widening price discount for Canadian heavy crude? Simple: Canada’s lack of
transportation capacity (i.e. pipelines) and restricted market access. Despite growing oil production in recent years, Canada has been unable to build any major pipelines, resulting in significant excess production over transportation capacity. Due to several factors, including significant regulatory hurdles, TransCanada’s Energy East and Eastern Mainline projects were cancelled. And despite receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, the Keystone XL pipeline project continues to face delays. And even after the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was forced to nationalize Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, that plan is now in limbo after the Federal Court of Appeal decision.

125 years Continued from Page 2 Stelmach then made some remarks on the importance of faith in the pioneer community. "They came to a country with a very harsh climate, different language, isolation and considerable discrimination and had to depend on each other to not only build communities but to survive those first winters in Canada. Faith in God gave them not only hope but the perseverance to continue settling the
Letter: Pipelines Continued from Page 4 In addition, maintenance downtime at refineries in the United States is exacerbating the price differential. For instance, a refinery in Whiting, Ind., is scheduled to go offline later this year. The shutdown of various U.S. oil refineries, which are the biggest customers for Canadian heavy crude, will reduce demand for that oil and thereby widen the price gap. Without adequate access to pipelines, there has been a shift to more
area, removing the trees and the rocks, building residences and raising their family." He went on to speak of the fact that many were interred in camps across Canada during WWI because the area they left was under Austrian rule and they were considered enemies of the state. The event finished up with a blessing of the plaque by Fr. Ireane and Fr. Alexi. Over 200 people came to see the plaque unveiling. All the County Councillors thanked the hard work of the staff at
not only this event but at events throughout the year such as the Farmer's Zabava, Fireworks at the Baba's and Borshch Ukrainian Festival in 2018 and other initatives. Councillor Warawa found his name in the list of 125 and said, "I was very surprised to find my name in the list and I am inspired to go look them up." There were light refreshments served and musical entertainment by Charlie Gargas. Both the County and Town flew Ukrainian flags for the day. Lamont County would
crude shipped by rail, which is a higher-cost mode of transportation. According to recent National Energy Board data, rail-deliver crude exports reached a record high in June at 205,000 barrels per day. And that number is expected to rise amid the pipeline shortage. This represents an 87 per cent increase in oil exports by rail compared to June 2017. Ultimately, higher rail rates to ship crude mean Canadian oil producers must absorb higher costs, leading to less money flowing into the economy, less revenue for governments to pay for health care, education and other services, and
potentially fewer jobs for Canadians. And rail transportation is also less safe. In fact, pipelines are 2.5 times less likely to experience an oil spill than rail transport. The steep price discount for Canadian heavy crude, and therefore the lost revenues, will remain until new pipeline capacity comes online. Federal and provincial policy-makers must take concrete action to get pipelines built quickly for the benefit of Canadians and the economy overall. Elmira Aliakbari and Ashley Stedman
like to thank the AlbertaUkraine Genealogical Project for their dedication to the documentation of the history of the Ukrainian settlement in Alberta. Many hours were spent sifting through historical records in order to create "The Lamont County Project," which docu-
ments all the original Ukrainian settlers to the area that became Lamont County. Those interested in more about the project can access information at https://sites.ualberta.ca /ukrville/Family_Histor y_Portal/fhp.htm If your family settled here from Ukraine

The Laronde Family would like to thank the following for their support of Clay Laronde’s 2 year commitment to try and make the Men’s Canadian National 3D Archery team. The Canadian team will be competing right here in Canada, in Lac La Biche in late summer of 2019. The support they gave made it affordable for him to travel to Truro, Nova Scotia this past August and will help him make it to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan next year. Without their help his dream of making the team would only be a dream. With special thanks, we would like acknowledge the following sponsors:

Crowds come out to support Lamont Fire Department fundraiser MAUREEN SULLIVAN A good sized crowd came out to the sixth annual Heroes in the Sky fundraiser for the Lamont Fire Department despite the cool and damp weather on Saturday, August 8. Enjoying a hamburger and pop, free popcorn and entering a raffle for some very nice gifts donated by local businesses kept people busy. There was also a bouncy castle for the kids and brave volunteers sat in the dunk tank and were dumped in the water regularly, all to raise funds for the department.
At 12:30 pm members of the Mundare fire department demonstrated how to take a car apart to rescue someone trapped after an accident. They stabilized the car, removed windows and doors, checked for airbags that had not deployed and cut the roof off using a variety of tools. All money raised will go toward community awareness initiatives, fire prevention education and advanced training opportunities for members of the local department. "In the past, community members and the gen-
eral public who have attended the event have been extremely generous," says local firefighter Lt. Andrew McDonald. "It has been in the thousands over the last six years" Heroes in the Sky began when a collective group of fire departments, in association with the Fire Within Group, joined to raise awareness and support for local fire departments. The date is chosen as the closest weekend to the 9/11 tragedy in New York City, to honour and reflect upon the 343 firefighters that lost their lives that day.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Dispatches from the Renovation Front
BY HAZEL ANAKA As I worked long and hard on Babas & Borshch planning, I was amazed and quite proud of how I was handling the upheaval at home. My small home office gave way to an antique table and laptop in the living room. Throw in some flat surfaces, upright file holders, storage towers, and patience and you’ve got the Babas & Borshch 2018 command centre. Three feet away is our bed. How convenient. I’d gotten some festival work out of the way earlier than usual because that’s how I roll. I see and anticipate stuff hitting the fan so I take preemptive action. That said, there are plenty of things that can’t be done until the last moment.
So, with workmen of all descriptions traipsing by or interrupting me with pressing questions, I persisted. I took phone calls outside if it was quieter there. I warned radio disc jockeys when they called for interviews that it could get loud. I stayed glued to my chair. It’s amazing how many people have expressed empathy (or was it sympathy?) at our state of affairs. There have been bigger and smaller projects than ours but the disruption to one’s way of life remains consistent. We find ourselves getting up and at ‘em earlier because no one wants to be caught in pj’s when workers arrive. We look questioningly at the clock when they’re late to arrive, but are oh, so relieved when they leave. We always feel on. I liken the lack of privacy to a hospital stay in a shared room. There isn’t much your roommate or nurses haven’t seen or heard. We used to be annoyed that no one worked weekends. Now
we welcome it because that’s when we regroup or do something only we can do. Like removing the laminate in what will become the ensuite or cutting holes in drywall for the rejigged basement plumbing. We try to walk that fine line between being friendly to the people working on our home and not being a distraction to them. I have to say, I’ve enjoyed nearly
all of them. They seem cognizant of and almost apologetic for the intrusion they’re making. Some are funny, others are smart asses and who doesn’t love a smart ass? Some are better at explaining what they’re doing and why than others. This is particularly important in meshing existing with new. They all appreciate the ice cream treats or watermelon chunks we pro-
vide on the scorching days. Of all the decisions we’re expected to make, the one I find the most boggling is the lighting. I’ve been warned that cheap doesn’t last, that you get what you pay for. We’ve bought fixtures. We’ll be returning fixtures. Even specialty lighting stores don’t have stock so you’re essentially ordering a cat in a bag.
The next hard decision will be flooring. How do we merge new in two wings with the existing that we still love? And then there’s paint colours. Play it safe with some neutral throughout or annoy a painter with multiple choices? For those wondering if our marriage will survive, for now I say yes, from where I sit.

Champion archer Clay Laronde wins gold at Nova Scotia - plans to make a living at the sport MAUREEN SULLIVAN Clay Laronde spent the summer winning gold at the 2018 3D Archery Nationals in Truro, Nova Scotia and travelling across Alberta competing in archery competitions. Laronde who is 16 years old, and lives in Lamont, is one step closer to earning a spot on the Canadian Mens 3D Team in archery and competing at the Worlds Archery Event in 2019. The event will take place just down the road in Lac La Biche, Alberta next September. To achieve a spot on the mens team, the top three winners from the 2018 and 2019 national competitions combined, and who puts their name forward, will get a place on the team. Winners are based on total number of points won in each competition. Laronde, who actually shoots above his class with the 17 -21 year olds, is currently 50 points behind the leader. Laronde, who shoots with a compound bow, is also one step closer to the Olympics, with Compound Archery being added to the 2019 Pan American Games. Murray Laronde, Clay’s father and local archery coach, believes this means the event will be in the Olympics in about eight years. A compound bow has cams or wheels at the end of the bow to allow a greater "let off" when the
string of the bow is pulled fully back. This means you are holding less weight when fully pulled back. A recurve bow, the type we all used in gym class, when fully drawn back holds all the weight of that pull. Starting the sport at the age of three, Clay started to compete at the age of 12. He competes in both 3D, shooting at a replica of an animal, and at paper targets both at unidentified distances. The archer must determine how far away the targets are and base their shoot on that. Shooting in approximately 12 to 15 competitions a year is a costly business. His bow costs about $4,000 dollars, his arrows which last about a year cost $300 for a dozen, and of course the cost of travelling and accommodation to each event adds up. "I couldn't do this without the support of my sponsors," says Laronde. "I am very thankful of their support." This past Labour Day weekend, Laronde was in Lethbridge for the Provincial Target and Field Championships. Competing there for the first time, he received silver in the field event, where the competitor walks a trail and shoots at targets at different yardages. He won gold at the target event, where the competitor shoots
two rounds of 72 arrows at a 50 meter target. When not competing, Laronde is practicing or hunting with his bow. He also plays basketball and badminton in school and likes to be outdoors quadding or sledding. For the future, he is taking one competition at a time, but hopes to one day make a living from the sport. Watch for him at the Worlds next year.
Clay Laronde won gold at the 2018 provincials in the sport of archery. He stands beside the result of his shots at 50 meters which resulted in 58 points out of 60.

Bruderheim Council tours public works facilities before meeting MAUREEN SULLIVAN Prior to the town council meeting on September 5, members of the Bruderheim council toured the public works facilities with CAO Patty Podoborozny and Public Works Foreman Dennis Tomuschat. An previous uninsulated shed had been insulated, which allowed some equipment and supplies to be moved over from the main building. The main building was then updated with new lighting and gained more work space.
"The staff love it," said Tomuschat, "they take great pride in where they work now." The water plant and the lift station, as well as the yard was also spruced up. There are security cameras installed and alarms on doors, as well as automatic notification to the on call staff if any incidents happen. The regular Council meeting followed the tour. Highway signage for the Bruderheim campsite is awaiting a response
being out at the west door of the arena, a suggestion of bike racks
from the Ministry of Transportation. The council approved an Advertising Rental policy for the Karol Maschmeyer Arena. The council approved a transfer of $50,000 from reserves to cover the final land acquisition payment. A motion to subscribe for a share in the Edmonton Region Economic Development Entity at a cost of $50,000 for three years was voted against by council. Other items discussed at council was a light
being placed near the hotel and the upcoming Eastcoast Kitchen Night,
being put on by the Recreation Committee on Sept. 29.
Bruderheim Council was impressed by the new facilities.

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 gas station for Lamont MAUREEN SULLIVAN A new Petro-Canada gas station will open in the Town of Lamont, at the end of November 2018. Kevin Lim, owner of several other stations in the region believed there was a need for another choice for gas in town. Lim says his investment will be between $1
and $2 million. When it opens, it will employ five to eight people, in both full and part time positions. The station will consist of two pumps with regular, premium and diesel fuel and a convenience store. The store will have fresh coffee, slushies and milk shakes, says Lim.

Chipman 4-H Club looking for new and past members for 75th MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Chipman 4-H Beef Multi Club is celebrating its 75th anniversary and it’s looking for new and former members of Lamont County to come and help celebrate. Harold Mulholland is leading the club in looking for alumni leaders and members who are interested in sharing stories and memorabilia, and to help organize the 75th Achievement Day. "Come out and talk to our members about how 4-H helped you over the years. Maybe we can have a history day about the club since it started," said Mulholland. The 4-H name represents four personal development areas; the head, the heart, the hands, and health. Its motto is “to make the best better,” and its slogan is “learn by doing”. The club which is often thought of as a club for children living on a farm, is anything but that. The club added the word multi to its name about two years ago in an effort to attract more members. For children aged six to eight there is Cleavers, and for those aged eight to twenty there are Explorers. This year’s projects will include Explorer 4H projects, outdoor activities, Cleaver proj-
ects, beef and horse projects and goat and sheep projects. Possibly a small engine project. 4H programs may include: Active Living, which includes sports and camping; Agriculture and Environment, which includes animal projects; Small Animals, which includes pet projects; In and Around the House, which includes crafts, cooking and sewing projects; and Science, Technology and Trade, which includes veterinary, woodworking and small engine projects. The club, with members from all areas of the county, are having their meet and greet night September 24 at 7:00 pm at the Walker School in Bruderheim in the 4H club room. The first meeting will be on October 1. Come out and see what it's all about, or you can call Harold Mulholland at 587-3416886.

September 11, 2001 is a day in which our world changed. Its memory is synonymous with wide-spread confusion, shock, and fear. However, it was also a day of heroism, nobility, and courage. It was a staple in time that will forever remain. With Canadian troops continuing to serve in Afghanistan, and the fight against terror waging on around the world, its impact can still be felt to this day. Several emergency and rescue personnel lost their lives in the days that followed these horrific events, sacrificing their own well-being to spare the lives of others. For this, North Americans will be forever in their debt.
