Town of Lamont welcomes new deputy CAO Michelle Pinon Editor

Elaine Milliken is used to wearing many hats, but even she is r elieve to be wearing only one these days as the Town of Lamont’s new deputy chief administrative officer.

Milliken took over the position that was vacated by Cory McCullagh back in early spring.

Milliken hails fr om the Town of Bruderheim and served five-and-a-half years with that munici-

pality. “I started out at the front desk as an administrative assistant and then became the development and bylaw liaison officer, and then legislative services, bylaw and development officer.” Then she adds, “and whatever came my way!”

The on the job training proved invaluable, and she is happy to have joined the T own of Lamont team of ficially on August 18th. She has also taken many other related courses over the years, and curr ently is

enrolled in the fifth of 12 courses through the National Advanced Certificate in Local A u t h o r i t i e s Administration (Local Government Certificate) through the U of A’s Faculty of Extension. “I do it (the course) at home online in the evenings,” noted Milliken.

For the past couple of weeks Milliken has been getting familiarized with the town’s computer program, information systems, and researching information to get up to speed. What she has

already come to realize is that there is r eally good internal communication in the town. “What I’ve come to r ealize is that staff communicate very effectively with the various departments.” She has also come to r ealize staff are “passionate about their town” and she is looking forwar d working with all of them in the future.

Milliken said communication between council and administration as well as the town and residents is critical, and clarified that her r ole is

to serve the r esidents and work with council to meet their expectations.

Milliken said it is also critical for r esidents to communicate with the town. For example, if the town is not awar e of an issue, then it is up to r esidents to let them know.

She points out that, “Writing on a building is not an effective means of communication,” referring to the r ecent acts of graffiti on the town office and curling rink. She recommends residents talk to councillors directly or write a letter to the town

to voice their concerns.

Lamont firefighters to host Heroes in the Sky Michelle Pinon Editor

Members of the Lamont Fire Department will be showing their appreciation to local residents by serving up hot dogs and hambur gers between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13 in the parking lot of Lamont Foods.

Longtime firefighter Herman Sieker said this will be the third year the Lamont Fire Department will be participating in the “Heroes in the Sky� campaign. He is looking forward to the event, and invites one and all to come out for the event

that will also featur e a fire extinguisher simulator, dunk tank and bucket brigade competition.

Firefighters will also be selling 2015 “Fir e Within� calendars. All 12 months will feature photographs of local fir efighters, and proceeds go towards the pur chase of equipment for the Lamont Fire Department.

According to Chad Sartison, founder of the event, the Lamont Fir e Department has been a Firefighters 1st partner since 2007, and have realized great success with the calendar sales campaign since that time. “The support that the

community has shown is truly appreciated by the firefighters,� stated Sartison. Sieker echoes those sentiments and encourages folks to come out and enjoy some of the fun activities that have been planned.

The event is also a good opportunity to provide exposure for the volunteer fire services, and in the wor ds of Sartison to “sell our brand�, to answer questions the public may have, and to pr ovide opportunity for those interested in volunteering to ask questions and learn a little of the workings of a volunteer fir e department. “The pur-

pose of the campaign is to raise funds for fir efighting equipment and to promote and enhance firefighter safety,� added Sartison. “Two of the gr eatest challenges that volunteer fire departments acr oss North America face ar e: receiving adequate funding for training and equipment; and the recruitment and r etention of volunteer fir efighters,� pointed out Sartison.

He went on to say , “The vast majority of communities protected by volunteer fire departments have smaller tax bases than our big city neighbours. While this is

true, it is also tr ue that the risks and dangers faced in the fir efighting service are the same for big city ‘career’ firefighters as for volunteer fir efighters in rural communities. “The training and equipment required to prepare and pr otect the firefighters is for the most part the same and the costs are certainly the same. There is no doubt that local municipal government and administration are supportive and appreciative of the contributions that the volunteer firefighters make to the community. Tax dollars are just not enough to provide all the equip-

ment and training necessary to pr ovide what is needed. To supplement the funding shortfall, volunteer fire departments do a lot of fundraising Recruitment and retention of volunteers is becoming a greater challenge every year right across North America. A common site in rural volunteer fie stations all around North America is the sign r eading volunteers needed or something of that nature. Your local volunteer fir e department is no dif ferent. Please consider volunteering,� urged Sartison.

Opinion

Graffiti no way to voice complaints

The recent graffiti on public buildings in Lamont seemed to be a little different than the graffiti usually seen on train cars or bridges.

Normally the graffiti is done by young people whose message is that they graduated, or that they love someone, or per haps enjoy a musical group. Seldom is it a political message, because the criminal act was done by someone young with no political interests at all.

However, the graffiti in question came with a political message; some kind of dissatisfaction perhaps? Not typically the action of a juvenile.

Unfortunately, by complaining in the same manner that a juvenile delinquent would doesn't exactly give your complaint cr edibility. Rather it makes the author look immatur e and their complaint to be trivial.

The Lamont Leader suggests rather than pr oceed with criminal behaviour which damages the public property we all pay for , voice your complaints in a mor e adult way. Talk to administration, or the mayor , or make an appointment to address council. If none of that works, write to the professional media, or social media, or get a petition together.

But don't take to becoming a criminal in the name of what you think is right. That is not the way a society works, and like it or not you ar e in a society.

Baseless Allegations The intent of graf fiti is to write, scribble, scratch or spray paint illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place.

Defacing public property is a crime. And let’s be totally clear; the Lamont Leader, and myself as editor, would never condone that type of illegal, offensive and morally wrong behaviour.

Because I wrote a caption on top of a pictur e of graffiti in the Sept. 3 edition that stated: “V andal sends strong message,” that I, or this newspaper , endorse or encourage this type of crime. For a reader or readers to draw that conclusion, I feel is illogical.

In fact, the accusation that I have done something wrong, let alone amoral, is completely unr easonable in my mind. The insinuation that I was blatantly encouraging graf fitti is completely false as well as the assertion that I will be personally responsible for any possible future incidents of this nature is preposterous!

I am appalled that some people I know and respect in the community would think that of me.

So, if I haven’t made myself abundantly clear , I do not subscribe to any type of criminal activity— including graffiti period.

School fees petition launched Michelle Pinon Editor

Bob Cote gladly doused Mayor Karl Hauch and councillor W ayne Olechow with ice water during the town’s Ice Bucket Challenge Sept. 1 on Queen’ s Street during the What’ s Up In Bruderheim event. More than $140 was raised for ALS Canada to find a cure for the disease.

With the beginning of the school year just underway, the W ildrose Party decided to launch its own online petition, calling for an end to mandatory school fees.

Wildrose Education Critic Bruce McAllister issued a press release on the first day of classes, Sept.

2, “ur ging Albertans to sign his petition which calls for an end to mandatory school fees in Alberta public, Catholic, and public charter schools.

“Mandatory school fees are a hidden tax and an undue financial burden on par ents, who already pay taxes to fund education,” stated McAllister. “The PC government is shortchanging education, leaving school boards squeezed for funding and forced to look to par ents to cover their shortfalls.”

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske stated, “There are no provincially mandated school fees.

All Kindergarten to Grade 12 students must have access to basic cor e programming, which is composed of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.”

Fenske went on to say , “Alberta’s School Act allows school boar ds to charge fees for specific

lem lies at the feet of the PC government. School boards are constantly squeezed for funding, and they ar e forced to look to par ents to cover their shortfall.

This is unfair to parents, who ar e already facing high costs associated with raising young and growing families.

Public education isn’t free – Albertans are already paying for it through their taxes.

I believe Alberta parents deserve to keep more, not less, of their hard-earned money. The PC government needs to stop nickel-and-diming parents and look for ways to make life mor e affordable for Alberta

families.

A Wildrose government would ensur e that parents do not have to pay mandatory school fees to send their kids to public, Catholic or public charter schools. W e’ve stood by this for years.

We understand that Alberta families ar e a primary source of our province’s energy and economic strength.

And if you’re wondering if it makes sense to scrap school fees while the province continues to run a deficit and borr ow billions of dollars, let me give you some perspective.

Just over a month ago, the PC government found an extra $55 mil-

purposes including alternative programs, transportation and lunch supervison.” She added that school boar ds also have the flexibility to use funds based on the needs of their local community.”

Trina Boymook, chair of Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), said EIPS charges Learning Resource Fees (LRF) for supplies and materials to enhance students’ educational experience.”

Boymook also stated, “Learning Resource Fees (LRF) are fees that ar e determined by the Executive Team, approved by the Boar d of Trustees, and charged for instructional supplies and materials that enhance existing curricula for core courses.”

Boymook also pointed to Administrative Procedure 505 (School and Administrative Fees), school fees cannot be charged for materials and equipment related to core courses other than the LRF and field trips.

According to Boar d Policy 2, the Role of the Board establishes that the Board of T rustees must approve some of these fees as part of their fiscal accountability.

The specific fees charged to each family vary depending on a number of factors, noted Boymook, including a students’ school, grade,

and specific course registrations.

“Learning Resource Fees, which are approved by the boar d each year and standar d across the division, ar e $25 to $120 per student depending on the grade.

Schools may also establish their own fees for things such as field trips, athletic teams, extracurricular activities, nonhour supervision, etc.

While school level fees are usually comparable from one school to the next for similar items, they may not always be exactly the same.”

In cases of financial hardship, Boymook said, school administation will work with the family to consider dif ferent payment options. The principal also has the authority to waive school fees. In all other cases, fees are due in full

by Oct. 31 each year. “If a family is delinquent in paying fees, the school will send two r eminder letters on Nov . 15 and Jan. 15, with a final reminder letter being issued by financial services on Mar ch 15. After April 15, outstanding fees are sent to a designated collection agency.”

Fenske said that parents are encouraged to contact the school principal and locally elected school board trustees in regards to concerns about school fees.

Wildrose want to put an end to school fees

As a par ent of thr ee, I know how exciting it is for families when a new school year starts. Along with the smell of fall leaves in the air, there are new backpacks, supplies, schools and classrooms, and optimism for the start of another year of learning.

At the same time, many parents suffer shock when they find themselves forced to open their cheque books to pay for mandatory school fees. They have different names and ar e often craftily disguised as registration, textbook or instructional fees, to name a few.

Mandatory school fees are fees associated with

attending school – like photocopying, lunch time supervision or using a locker. Costs for additional activities like field trips, extra-curricular programs and transportation are over and above these mandatory fees.

Depending on where a family lives, these can cost up to $300 per child, and in families with several children in school, it adds up fast.

These mandatory school fees ar e a hidden tax and an undue financial burden on par ents, who already work har d and pay taxes to fund education in our province.

The core of the pr ob-

lion to hand out to high level managers and PC staff. That’s about the same cost as putting an end to mandatory school fees.

Imagine if we had a government that used resources based on the priorities of families.

Instead, we've seen hundreds of millions spent on corporate welfare and government pet projects like the Premier’s penthouse suite, otherwise known as “Skypalace”. W e’ve seen eye-popping sole sourced contracts landing in the laps of PC party donors, when an open-bidding process would have fetched Albertans a far better

deal. We’ve seen sweetheart severance deals for political staffers when our school boar ds are strapped for cash.

Setting clear, transparent goals and living up to your promises shouldn’t be that hard.

We’ve set up a petition at wildrose.ca/endmandatoryfees where families can tell the government how they r eally feel about this hidden tax.

Together, I believe we can finally put an end to having to take a dip out of our bank accounts every September.

Bruce McAllister Wildrose Education Critic

Arena roof to be replaced Michelle Pinon Editor

Things are looking up these days for Colin Peddle.

The Town of Lamontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s r ecreation manager is excited about an upcoming roofing project at the arena and hall this fall.

Peddle expects r eplacement of the roof on the recreation centre to begin sometime during the next couple of weeks.

Actually there are two r oofs on the facility. Peddle explains that the top roof will be taken of f, and then insulation as well as vapour barrier will be placed on the bottom roof before the new r oof is installed.

Peddle says the new r oof will not be steel, and will be made out of a new long lasting r oll out material. Edmonton based company Knights Roofing will be doing the roofing project.

Peddle says Knights Roofing was the lowest tender bid received, and back on July 29, during a special meeting of council, council unanimously appr oved the lowest bid that came in at the tendered price of $353,460.

Originally, the budgeted amount was $350,760; so council had to agree to incr ease the budget by $2,700 in order to accept the bid.

There’s an app for that. New application makes noxious weed identification easy A new iPhone application developed by the City of Edmonton is taking the guesswork out of weed identification.

Alberta Weed Spotter is an easy-to-use application designed to help Albertans identify and report weeds to provincial authorities.

The application includes all 75 species currently regulated under the Alberta’s Weed Control Act. The goal of the app is to help improve strategic weed management decisions and allow for quicker responses to new weed infestations across the province.

“Invasive species spread quickly in urban centres,” says project lead Daniel Laubhann, environmental technician with the city’s neighbourhood, parks and community recreation branch.

“Edmonton is the fifth-largest city in Canada and capital of Alberta, so we have a high responsibility to address this issue.

“Public awareness is vital to minimize the number of new invasive species and to reduce the

spread of existing weeds.”

The application contains images of weeds separated into categories such as flowering, grass-like, and tree or shrub.

This will allow Albertans to easily identify weeds they come across and accurately report them to weed managers across the province.

For weed complaints, citizens should continue to contact the local authority in their area respon-

sible for municipal weed enforcement.

A mobile application to file weed complaints is planned to be implemented in the future.

Also in development is an Android-compatible version of the app, as well as plans for the information to be available to residents via open data.

The application is available for free download on iTunes.

Now is the time to plant bulbs for beautiful spring flowers Patricia Hanbidge Horticulturist

This is the perfect time to begin to plan for spring!

Already we are seeing spring flowering bulbs in the garden centres and other retail outlets.

So now is the time to get planning and plan on April, May, and June to be filled with a floriferous crop of spring flowering bulbs.

Spring flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall to allow the bulb to develop a good root system.

These bulbs also need a cold period (winter) in order to allow their flowers to fully develop. For best results plant them well before our ground freezes – now would be great!

Lougheed Master Gardener, Sheila Smith, says, “People are sometimes afraid to plant bulbs with daytime highs in the mid-20’s, thinking they will begin to grow, but this really is

PRESENTS:

the time to plant.”

When purchasing bulbs, it is important to remember that this is one instance when you truly get what you pay for.

The larger bulbs of each flower type will without fail give you a better product.

Take time to examine the flesh of the bulb as it should be smooth and free of any blemishes.

Your favourite garden centre should have plenty of stock in now that will ensure you can enjoy the latest bulbs of your dreams come spring.

Bulbs should be planted in an area that is welldrained.

The soil should be free of weeds and dug to a depth of about 12 inches (30cm).

If your soil is a heavy clay soil, incorporate equal portions of coarse sand and a suitable organic matter like compost.

A good rule of thumb is to incorporate a good 4 to 6 inches (10 to 20 cm)

of organic matter prior to planting.

Apply a standard bulb booster fertilizer (9-9-6) or bone meal at planting time to encourage a vigorous and healthy root system.

The planting depth will vary for each type of bulb, but a good rule of thumb is to plant the bulb to a depth of 3 – 4 times the width of the bulb. Therefore, if you are planting a tulip bulb that is 2 inches (5 cm) wide, it should be planted 8 inches (20 cm) deep.

After planting, water the soil thoroughly and mulch the surface with leaves or grass clippings to a depth of 2 inches (5 cm).

For those new to planting bulbs, they should be planted pointy side up!

The roots will grow out of the bottom of the bulb.

When planting spring bulbs, you will get the best impact if you group the same type of bulb together.

The bigger the grouping the larger will be the

impact. Most spring flowering bulbs are low in stature.

What that means from a design perspective is that they should be planted at the front of the border but also somewhere that enables you to enjoy the show on a regular basis.

Bulbs Continued from EXTRA! P6 P4

Spend a bit of your fall in the garden planning for spring, plant some spring flowering bulbs and enjoy the grand

show in the spring!

Smith says it’s also a good time to start watering in your trees, shrubs, and perennials, to ensure they will make it through a long cold winter. If the roots are encased well in ice once the ground freezes, they will be protected from sub-zero temperatures

to some degree.

“And when it starts to melt, it waters the root at the same time.”

She says, “I leave the tops on my perennials, so they catch more snow, and protect the root, plus then I know where it is in the spring.”

Here’s a partial list of suggestions for what

you might plant this fall: • Scilla siberica (Squill) – deep blue or white in colour, 4 – 6 inches (10 – 15 cm) in height; • Crocus chrysanthus (snow crocus) – available in all the traditional colours, 3 – 4inches (8 – 10cm) in height;

• Tulipa tarda (tarda tulip) – yellow flowers with white tips, 3 – 6 inches (7 – 15cm); • Fritillaria pallidiflora (Siberian fritillary) – larger pale greenish-yellow blooms with a bluish leaf, 12 – 16 inches (30 – 40cm) in height; • Tulipa spp. (hybrid tulips) – huge selection

of colours, heights and flowering time. The Darwin or cottage type tulips are the most reliable on the prairies; • Narcissi spp. (daffodils) – many selections to choose from, like ‘King Alfred’ – the tall, traditional, yellow trumpet daffodil that truly means spring.

Painted Memories Brushstrokes of gifted Andrew artist Alison Fitt Michelle Pinon Editor Painting is Alison Fitt’s life.

It’s an all consuming passion for the Andrew resident, and her love of painting goes far beyond the exquisite cr eations she paints on antique sawblades, basins, coal pails, cr eam cans, gas cans, coffee pots, canners, irons, wash tubs and more!

“I retired to paint five years ago,” says Alison, who would practice her craft 24 hours a day , seven days a week if it was humanly possible.

“Each piece tells a story,” says Alison, who is able to inject a bit of her personality into each and every piece. No two pieces ar e alike, and she has the uncanny ability to be able to trigger special memories in each of her clients who

automatically develop an af finity for their custom made piece.

“Most of the work is in the preparation,” says Alison who can spend thr ee to four weeks as she has to r ust mort, sand and r epeat several times before priming and painting a piece. It is quite a labour intensive restoration process, and Alison says the actual painting part may only take a couple of days depending on the size and intricacy of the piece.

Alison uses her instincts to her make her masterpieces and often ad libs the elements and setting, juggling different components, to make it feel complete. “My dr eams are his (her husband’s) nightmare. She often will call on his welding expertise to fashion various objects together. a good example is her tractor seat stools that incorporate a tractor seat, steel pipe,

and cultivator disk as the base.

She and her husband are always on the lookout for these antique pieces, and often they find them at auctions or garage sales or thr ough friends or family who know she uses them to paint her one-of-a-kind pieces. “The r eason I got into it is because I didn’t want them going in the landfill,” adds Alison. “I think the past is important, and people don’t realize that.”

Alison also points out that while the generation or generations that used those items may not recognize the value of them, wher eas, younger generations may have or will develop a deeper understanding and appr eciation for them. Restoring these age old pieces gives Alison a gr eat sense of satisfaction, and she is happy to know her work makes a dif ference in the lives of her clients.

While some people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may think it’s too early to preplan, people who do say that prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren’t leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional distress. This checklist will help you make sure every detail is tended to: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)

Bruderheim site of upcoming emergency simulation exercise For industry and communities in and ar ound Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, risk assessment, response plans and access to r esources are major components of emergency management.

Confirming and improving these plans thr ough drills, exercises and simulations is equally important.

On September 24 th, Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NR CAER) is holding a full-scale simulation in the Town of Bruderheim.

“The scenario is a train derailment involving hazardous materials warranting a multiagency response, and builds on a table top exercise we held in June,”says Brenda Gheran, Executive Director of NR CAER. “After testing the book’s response, we’re providing responders the opportunity to work through the challenges presented by a live response in real time.”

Exercises and simula-

By Hazel Anaka One of the most fascinating things about coordinating a huge undertaking like the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival is what it reveals about people. While some of those revelations leave you shaking your head in disbelief for the most part the news is uplifting.

By now most people know our outdoor Ukrainian food concession operator (Shewchuk Foods) was a no-show .

Yes, his irr esponsibility hurt us by cr eating the

tions help establish strong working r elationships between r esponders from industry, municipalities, police, transport companies such as CN and CP , as well as pr ovincial agencies and regulators. “ T h e s e groups would be involved if this was an actual incident, and knowing each other in advance, and what resources are available, m a k e s response more effective,” Gheran says.

The simulation will test a number of elements of NR CAER’s mutual aid plan such as traffic management, radio communications, staging, and r esponder accountability. The Town of Bruderheim will put its Municipal Emergency Plan through its paces, including activating

their Emergency Operations Centre, transfer of incident command over an operational period and a test of their alert system powered by Everbridge, which was launched in

very lineups we wer e trying to avoid. But if you believe in karma the damage he’s done to his own reputation is far worse.

Luckily the indoor concession was able to handle it albeit with longer waits.

Apparently substituting borshch when they ran out of holubtsi was acceptable to most people.

The other act of stupidity by a small and petty mind was the overnight theft of all of our dir ectional signs. Here, too we believe that what goes around comes ar ound often in the cir cuitous ways of the universe.

Enough crap talk. I simply can’t adequately express what volunteers have meant to this event.

We tried to collectively acknowledge volunteers through the website and print pieces. We tried to personally thank individuals with wor ds, hugs, pats on the back, meal tickets, souvenir

scarves and an appr eciation picnic.

It’s important to recognize that not all volunteer actions ar e readily visible festival weekend or to anyone but me.

There are some people, local and otherwise who are on speed dial virtually from the day one festival ends until the next one begins a year later .

These people of fer advice and access to resources of all kinds.

That is no less valuable than the people who bring strong backs and eager hands to the heavy, grunt work or smiling, helpful faces to the public.

Then there are the volunteers who get pulled into the vortex by their mere association. Her e I’m counting my mom, aunt, nephew, sister, kids, grandkid and husband. Anyone who saw five year old Grady cold calling people in the food lineup urging them to do the word find puzzle for

“

In an emer gency, getting the right information to the right people at the right time is critical to protecting public safety.

- Gheran

”

May. Bruderheim residents registered with the alert system will r eceive a notification, and be part of the simulation by responding to the instructions in the mes-

sage. The alert system provides a r eport that responders use to make decisions on wher e to focus efforts and resources to help those in need.

“In an emergency, getting the right information to the right people at the right time is critical to protecting public safety,” Gheran says. “The test will also give us insight into the most effective ways to deliver emergency information.”

Bruderheim residents can register online to receive alerts based on what’s best for them, including phone, text, email and social media.

The overarching goal of all exercises is to prove and improve response plans. “In each exer cise, we see best practices and identify areas for improvement,” says Gheran. “Our members benefit and our communities are safer when we practice, and it’s always better to find out in a drill than the real thing.”

Terry Fox Run set for Sept. 14

Michelle Pinon Editor

The 27th annual Terry Fox Run in Lamont will pay tribute to cancer survivors on Sunday, Sept.14.

Co-ordinator Shanon Skitsko says the survivors will be the focus of this year’s run that will kick-off at 1 p.m. at the Lamont Recreation Centre.

Skitsko says the overall goal of this year ’s event is to increase the number of participants. He also stresses the run is a “non-competitive” event and any type of donations, big or small are gratefully accepted.

“It also will be 27th year of participating by the residents of the Town of Lamont and area, co-ordinated by the Knights of Columbus Council #6382,” pointed out Skitsko.

Every year the Terry Fox Foundation issues an official t-shirt. “These shirts sell for $20 and for a number of years we have been asking local business people to purchase one and donate it along with a business card back to the event.” As well, “Donations other than cash, equipment, facilities, food or supplies ar e used as prizes for the participants and guests.”

Registration will begin at 12 Noon, and the r un will take place between 1 and 4 p.m.

From Where I Sit: Win-Win a chance to win a fr ee eReader had to be impressed that a new generation of volunteers is in training to r eplace those of us who ar e getting old and tired.

Likewise the Babiuk family: Alvin, Jamie, Brent and even Mir eigh.

There are just some people who see a job that needs doing and pitch right in. Word has it that Carol Lynn is the younger cuter sister of our very own Baba Magda.

Or Chris J who agr eed to help in May and worked tirelessly. Here’s a guy who is fast, eager and competent. Some people are fast but leave a trail of chaos in their wake. Chris’ line was, ““what’s next, how do you want this done, what now?”” He worked all day Thursday , Saturday morning and through all of tear down Sunday. He’s a gem.

Or Melissa M fr om Derwent. She contacted

me through Facebook after last year ’s festival thanking us for honouring our culture and offering to help. My mamma didn’t raise no fool so I saved her email and phone number for 2014.

A few weeks ago I wr ote to her and hear d nothing. The cynic in me thought, oh, it’s one of those FB phenomena: people who say, do, sign up, like, shar e, anything but when the rubber hits the road and you need them to show up, they’re nowhere to be found.

Uh, no. This gal just didn’t see the email for a few days. By the time we talked all the bigger jobs were scheduled but I asked if she’d be willing to come and just be a gofer. She showed up Saturday morning and worked all day often as a festival greeter. She returned Sunday and worked until the last box was packed and loaded and every last thing was done. She did it with

eagerness and ener gy.

She’s a keeper.

Melissa has no stake in Lamont County or Andrew. Neither did Stefka and Geor ge Leonty from Willingdon or Nester Shydlowsky from Winnipeg. Or Brittney from Sherwood Park. Yet they came through for us because they believe in the cause.

I also want to acknowledge Dan W arawa from the County. In a world where politicians ar e often just window dressing it was gr eat to see him roll up his sleeves and pitch in.

So to all of you who helped before, during, or after; who offered to help next year and got put to work this year , thank you. To those of you who want to help a good cause and have fun in the process reach out. It’s win-win from where I sit.

Two years ago.

Calm and peaceful he is sleeping, Rest that follows pain, We who loved him sadly miss him, But trust in God to meet again, His weary hours and days of pain, His troubled nights are past, And in our aching hearts we know He has found rest at last.

His charming ways and smiling face are a pleasure to recall, He had a kindly word for each and died beloved of all.

Nothing can ever take away the love and heart holds dear.

Fond memories linger everyday, Remembrance keeps him near.

But some sweet day we’ll meet again.

Beyond the toil and strife, And clasp each other’s hand once more In Heaven that happy life.

Musical Ride offers many magical moments Michelle Pinon Editor

The RCMP Musical Ride in Br uderheim on Labour Day was a “milestone event,” and one Mayor Karl Hauch and thousands of people will never forget.

“The RCMP Musical Ride was a magical moment in time for our community,” stated Hauch proudly. “Folks from Strathcona, Fort Saskatchewan, and Bruderheim and ar ea came together to bring this together.”

Hauch also wanted to thank everyone who came out to witness the milestone event, and to the amazing gr oup of volunteers who made it

possible. Hauch also wanted to thank the Canadian Government for keeping the RCMP Musical Ride a part of Canadian culture since 1887. “We are so blessed to have been able to have this National Treasure a part of our community ,” added Hauch.

According to the Town of Bruderheim there were an estimated 70 hardworking volunteers assisting the town to ensure parking and traffic were under contr ol and public safety was addressed.

“We are so grateful to everyone who came out to help, fr om town staf f to all the community groups who made this event run so smoothly,” noted community servic-

es liason of ficer Judy Koschade.

“We had the help of 70 hardworking volunteers that provided us with assistance in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The volunteers came fr om Bruderheim, Strathcona County, Vegreville, and as far away as Fort McMurray,” added Melynda Waldner, director of legal and legislative services.

Volunteers were also selling RCMP souvenirs at the event, and those proceeds, along with gate proceeds will be divvied amongst the community groups who supplied the volunteers for the event.
