Archbishop Emertius Joseph MacNeil blesses the newly installed bench at Elk Island National Park with Holy Water. It was the place where Saint John Paul II sat during a visit to Elk Island National Park on Sept. 17, 1984. Michelle Pinon Editor
Thirty-two years to the day after Saint John Paul II visited Elk Island National Park (EINP) to reflect and pray at a trailhead near Tawayik Lake, a special blessing and dedication ceremony was held late during the morning of Sept. 17. One of the priests who was with Pope John Paul II during his historic visit to Canada was Archbishop Emeritus Joseph MacNeil, and the 92year-old told a crowd of about 80 people how and why the visit to EINP came to be on that day. MacNeil described the visit as a “mystery” and began his story by recalling the first assassination attempt on the Pope’s life that happened on May 13, 1981 while crossing St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City.
“I saw him the day after the assassination attempt,” stated MacNeil, who was at the Vatican representing the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. MacNeil told the Holy Father, “The real reason I’m here is to make sure you come to Canada.” “He smiled and said ya we go next year.” Originally, Pope John Paul II was slated to visit Canada in 1983, but that was delayed until the following year. Nevertheless, Emeritus Joseph MacNeil was thrilled with the Pontiff’s decision and spent time with the Pope during his time in the Edmonton area. “That day, (Sept. 17, 1984), we had lunch by the old museum downtown. Some people suggested he go for a walk in the river valley.” The Pope said there were too many police there.
MacNeil then told him that he often goes to a place called EINP, and suggested they go there. A polish doctor, who was also accompanying the Pope, said it sounds like the places we walked when we were young. “Ya,” he said, “We go.” MacNeil said he told the police chief that’s where they were going, but he objected because the area had not been secured. MacNeil replied, “I don’t think God even knows we were going.” They settled on a time, and arrived at the park at 2:30 p.m. They were walking down a trail when some photographers asked if they could take their picture. The Pope asked: “Do we always have to do what the photographers want?” MacNeil replied no, and said he knew of a

MacNeil said he would walk ahead to see if there were any bison. It was during that walk when the famous picture of the Pope praying the Rosary was shot. He went on to say, “It’s a mystery in a way,” that they were there because
initially the Pope was supposed to take a helicopter ride through the mountains. That plan had to be nixed because of inclement weather. Even though the weather was less than ideal, MacNeil said the Pope was able to relax during his time at the park. During subsequent
trips to the Vatican, MacNeil said the Pope would ask how the buffalo were doing.” So it was fitting that when His Excellency Bishop David Motiuk arrived at EINP for the ceremony, he was greeted by a herd of about 100 bison. “I was impressed by how you could arrange 100 bison at the entrance. I don’t know how you did that?” referring to EINP Superintendent Kirkland. Motiuk told him to thank staff as well for the wonderful greeting. Kirkland told the crowd it was wonderful that MacNeil could be with them today. I’m aware he (MacNeil), made regular trips to our park and once stated, “he got to know all the buffalo by name.” Continued on Page 3

Paint colour raises eyebrows and ire Hit and run near Village of Andrew Michelle Pinon Editor
The recent change in cladding of the water reservoir that services the Edna and Campbell subdivisions in Lamont was dubbed an eyesore by some of its town councillors because of its bright hue of blue at its Sept. 13 meeting. Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer said that while she had received a few complaints at the town office, most complaints were verbal comments by residents who spoke to her in passing. “It is quite a devastation,” said Coun. Debra Dunsmore, who told fellow council members that she had voice her objection to the water commission chair. Coun. Steve Sharun, who is the town’s representative on the water
commission board said he received a “very poor response” when he broached the issue during a recent meeting. “I did tell them we were not happy with it (paint colour).” Sharun was told the colour was selected because it would not fade. “A few members said it (paint colour) was not a problem, but it’s not in their town. Everyone else’s (water reservoir) is hidden. Ours is out in the open.” The selection was also a bone of contention with Sharun who stated he did not get a say on the colour. “There was no consultation with the town or other committee members.” Maschmeyer said Public Works Foreman Richard Chernyk did talk to the contractor at the time, and recommended a muted colour

Maschmeyer said the water reservoir is in the middle of the town’s green space. “It’s horrific.” Coun. Debra Dunsmore asked Maschmeyer if they would be sending a letter of objection to water commission manager Pat Tomkow. “Yes. A letter will come from council.” In a statement from Tomkow she stated, "Planning for recladding
of the commission's fill stations started last fall and the affected member municipalities were advised that this work would take place in 2016, During that time, no one indicated any colour preference. The commission's only instructions to the contractor was to utilize materials that would not fade. Adjacent property owners were recently canvassed and no one raised any objections about the colour."

Lamont town council amends traffic bylaw
Michelle Pinon Editor
Members of Lamont town council recently updated its traffic bylaw, with one significant change prohibiting the parking of large vehicles on streets. According to Bylaw 10/16, “No person shall park a vehicle or trailer upon any highway, weighing 6,000 kg (13,227 lbs) or more, or exceeding 8.5 metres (27 feet, 10 inches) in length. A vehicle with a trailer, with or without a load as gross vehicle weight of 8,000 kg (17,636 lbs) or more in total weight, or 10 metres (32 feet, 9.7 inches) in total length and a vehicle exceeding
two axles. The exception would be parking in the designated truck parking area on 47th Ave. “This section shall not apply where a vehicle is obliged to be parked while making deliveries in the course of its ordinary business.” Any vehicle parked contrary to this section of the bylaw may be impounded and removed and a complaint may be laid against the owner or person in charge of the illegally parked vehicle. As far as parking of these types of vehicles and trailers on any residential street, Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer pointed out they cannot
park on the street, but they can park in their driveway. In other words, Coun. Doug Pewarchuk stated: “They can drive on the street. They can’t park on the street.” Coun. Steve Sharun asked if that was the type of thing they wanted to encourage? He also wondered if the change would open the door for other issues such as noise and fumes, and idylling for long periods of time in winter. Coun. Pewarchuk said he thought the amendment would close more doors rather than open them. Coun. Dave Taylor pointed out there are double axel motorhomes that shouldn’t be parked
Special project honours Saint John Paul II Cont’d from Page 1 Kirkland went on to say, “We are fortunate to have this special place within Elk Island National Park. In saying so, we are grateful to Archbishop Emeritus Joseph MacNeil who suggested a quiet trip to Saint John Paul II to EINP in 1984.” He also expressed his gratitude to District 19 of the Knights of Columbus, (K of C), and the five local K of C councils who participated in the projects, and to ensure this special place within EINP will connect, inspire and engage Canadians for generations to come.” The project, which involved the development and installation of a bench and five interpretive signs, added Kirkland, two interpretive signs will tell readers about the Pope’s life and visit here. The other three will feature quotations and an invitation to sit and reflect. “This is a place for reflection. A source of solace, inspiration, delight and adventure, and we’re happy to enable this experience for our visitors.” stated Kirkland. Ed Mednyski, President of the Lady of Lourdes K of C council, gave the crowd some insight into the original
bench and plaque that were first installed on the site on Aug. 7, 1989. A special ceremony was held nine days later, and Mednyski recognized some of the council members who were instrumental in the original project. He also thanked former EINP Superintendent Stephen Flemming for his sup-
his father, gave out commemorative coins from the Pope’s 1984 visit to attendees, and vividly recalled being a short distance from the Pope during the outdoor mass at Namao. Fort Saskatchewan residents Lynn and Christopher Dsouza, were also in attendance with their two sons Andre and Elroy, and recounted seeing the Pope during one of his visit’s to India.

Parking was just one of the traffic related issues discussed during the September 13 council meeting. Real time speed signs, illegal parking, and jay walking were also topics of interest raised during the bimonthly meeting. on the street. Coun. Wayne Field said there are a lot of pick ups on diesel that run for an extended period of time as well. “They’re just as bad as the big ones.” In terms of fines, all
traffic bylaw offenses carry a penalty of $100 each, an increase of $50. In regards to stopping or parking along Secondary Highway 831, it is also not allowed. Maschmeyer said they
will have real time speed signs posted along there in the near future. “They will probably do a blitz on jaywalking too,” she added.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, September 20, 2016
Opinion Urgent: Open Letter to Premier Notley Madam Premier, please stop the bureaucrats in Alberta Energy from further exploitation of citizens including vulnerable seniors! Our forefathers, this Province’s pioneer settlers, broke the land under harsh circumstances and earned the right to any oil and gas beneath their homesteads. Now, more than a century later, Alberta Energy bureaucrats are threatening to expropriate without compensation the property rights which we have inherited. Why? According to the bureaucrats “We’re just doing our jobs” and enforcing the regulations. Your government was elected on a platform of social justice and fairness. When senior Alberta civil servants recognize that enforcing a regulation is creating an injustice, their job is to take steps to change the regulation, not just express sympathy to the exploited while they blithely sip their lattes and admire their bloated pay
checks. We own approximately four per cent of the oil and gas rights in Alberta. There are an estimated 75,000 of us. The vast majority of us are ordinary citizens with no training or experience in the complexities of oil and gas exploration and development. As laymen, we find ourselves at a tremendous disadvantage in our dealings with the technically sophisticated energy companies that lease our property and sometimes drill and produce oil or gas and pay us a small royalty on production. Alberta Energy taxes the production from our property. Taxpayers rightfully expect something in return for the taxes they pay. Since the turn of the millennia, the Alberta Government has collected an estimated $357 million in freehold mineral tax from our properties. Alberta Energy provides us with no services or assistance whatsoever in return for this tax. Queries to
Alberta Energy or to the Alberta Energy Regulator from individual owners of oil and gas rights are redirected to FHOA – a volunteer not-for-profit association. The only thing we receive from Alberta Energy is an annual invoice advising of the amount of freehold mineral tax payable. That is not fair! Before it was elected, the NDP recognized that it was not fair and pledged to support the allocation of a small portion of the freehold mineral tax collected annually by Alberta Energy to FHOA to support the association’s efforts to provide information and education to individual owners of oil and gas rights. Sadly, this preelection pledge has not been honoured. Ongoing low oil and gas prices have impacted all Albertans. Production royalties on the oil and gas rights owned collectively by the people of Alberta and by those owned by individuals have been
drastically reduced. Although the oil and gas industry is suffering, most oil and gas companies have continued to the lease agreements under which they produce. However, some foreigncontrolled companies that have leased our individually-owned oil and gas rights have stopped paying royalties completely even though they continue to produce from our properties. They have also apparently stopped paying their share of freehold mineral tax on production from our oil and gas rights to Alberta Energy. Good governments protect the property rights of their citizens. Having paid Alberta Energy millions in taxes on production from our property, we would expect the Government to help us to rectify the situation. Not so! Some individual owners of Alberta freehold oil and gas rights are senior citizens who rely on modest royalties from their oil and
gas rights to supplement their Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security benefits. How would you feel Madam Premier if you were one of those vulnerable seniors and the oil and gas company that held your lease had decided to stop paying you royalties, but continued to produce your oil or gas? And what if you then received a letter from Alberta Energy stating that the company had not paid the freehold mineral tax which was due on April 25, 2016 and that you are required to pay both your share, and the company’s share of this tax together with interest calculated from the due date, or your mineral rights would be forfeited to the Government. Madam Premier that is exactly what is happening! Do you think that it is fair or that it in any way could be construed as social justice? The final default notices can be served at the pleas-
ure of the Government which speaks to the urgency requiring you to address the potential of this grievous act immediately. And this is just the most recent blatant example of Alberta Energy’s exploitive relationship with the individual owners of oil and gas rights in this Province. FHOA urged its membership to support the NDP in the last election because of your social justice platform. We commend your Government for the positive steps taken in many areas to date. Can we count on you to address these matters and create an environment in which citizens can rely on your Government to protect their property rights, not exploit them? On behalf of Alberta oil and gas rights owners, Else Pedersen, President, Freehold Owners Association
Quote of the Day “As we grow up, we learn that the people that weren’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others hearts. You’ll blame a new love for things an old love did. You’ll fight with your best friend, you’ll cry because time is flying by, and eventually you’ll lose someone you love. So take too many pic tures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Because every second you spend angry or upset, is a second of happiness you can never get back!” Author Unknown

Family farms, small feedlots get provincial loan support The cattle industry is a key driver in Alberta’s rural economy, and feeder associations are vital to the success of the industry. That’s why we need to keep this sector strong. Alberta beef is known worldwide for its quality. Cattle feeders add significant value to the way we produce quality food. Success in this sector relies on a large number and range of feedlots, many of which are longstanding, family-owned operations. For many years the invaluable work of the Feeder Association of Alberta has kept our feedlots healthy. Through the Feeder Association Loan Guarantee Program (FALGP), the association supports producer-run co-operatives in obtaining competitive financing for members to buy, feed and sell livestock – both cattle and sheep – for profit. The sector is thriving and demand is exceeding the overall provincial loan guarantee cap of $55
million. That’s why our government is making a move to support our province’s cattle feeders, and it is why we announced on Sept. 14 an increase to the overall provincial loan guarantee to $100 million from $55 million. What this does is give the program more flexibility in meeting the demand for capital. This rise in the government loan guarantee will help cattle feeders get the capital they need to be successful, especially in a time with increasing demand and high prices for cattle. This move will benefit our new and young farmers, our family farms and small feedlot operators – all hardworking Albertans who deserve support from our government. Their work not only advances their own livelihood but also fortifies agriculture in our province. Economic diversification is our government’s priority and the agricultural sector plays a piv-
otal role. We want to ensure that our rural and resource communities have the tools they need to contribute to Alberta’s prosperity. This loan guarantee program has been highly successful for more than 75 years. We have worked closely with the industry to evaluate the program and make this change for the benefit of both cattle feeders and our agriculture industry. As we get into the busy fall season, I trust this loan guarantee program enhancement will immensely help many of our feeders. Oneil Carlier Minister of Agriculture and Forestry

No drones allowed in Elk Island National Park Charges laid after recent incident Michelle Pinon Editor
Elk Island National Park (EINP) is a no drone fly zone. In fact, it is illegal to fly drones in any of Canada’s National Parks. “The ban is Parks Canada wide, and applies to the take off and landing of aircraft,� stated Janelle Lane, Partnering, Engagement & Communications Officer with EINP. “Transport Canada started recognizing drones as aircraft in 2014. National parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas represent the very best that Canada has to offer. This restriction in Parks Canada’s protected areas is important to
ensure the safety of wildlife and the quality of the visitor experiences,� added Lane. For the first time ever, a person has been charged for flying a drone in EINP, and stems from an incident that occurred in August. She went on to say, the operator of the drone has
been served a summons to appear in provincial court to answer to the charge. “It would be inappropriate for us to comment further on this investigation at this time.� Anyone who is charged under Canada’s National Parks Act can face a mandatory court

Vadnais said the current budget for the school library is $500, $2.70 per student, and using the funds received through the Adopt-ASchool Program is hoping to raise 10 times the budget. “Although this year will not see a voting competition, there are two exciting new ways to support the school through the “Book Bonus or Tell a Story, Give a Story.â€? which means the foundation will support up to 50 additional books for every participating school. “This means, if you give two books to our school, the foundation will add an extra book to your donation, up to 40 books. Or if you, Tell a Story, Give a Story for Free the foundation will match an additional book for each featured story, up to ten books‌.Our goal is to put 200 new books into the hands of our students here at the school and get them engaged and excited about literacy.â€?
appearance. Lane said fines vary depending upon the violation involved, the severity of the offense or its impact, and whether this was a first or subsequent offense. The maximum fine is $25,000 for a person in violation of regulations on a first offense, or up to a maximum of $250,000 for a corporation. Lane added, “Fines are imposed by the court, in keeping with the severity of the offense and appropriate to deter further offenses, to denounce unlawful conduct that poses a risk to park resources, and to restore park resources.� As for any exceptions? “The use of a UAV (drone) may be permitted in EINP for park management purposes only. “In this case, the first step is obtaining a
Special Flight Operations certificate or exemption from Transport Canada. Then, Parks Canada will review the proposal to determine if it meets park objectives. Any use of a drone is through a permit issued by the field unit superintendent.� As far as requests to use a UAV (drone), in EINP, Lane said they vary, but are most common are for film productions and ecological
research. “Upon careful consideration, each of these requests would be approved only if they met park management objectives, such as raising awareness of EINP or supporting the park’s ecological monitoring program and the flight would not pose a risk to people or wildlife during the times and at the places where they are filming.�

Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival coming to Lamont Michelle Pinon Editor
The Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival is coming to Lamont in 2017! The new location was made public last week, and is being welcomed by members of Lamont town council. “I look forward to having them,� stated Coun. Doug Pewarchuk during the Sept. 13 regular meeting. Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer informed council she had received word that the popular festival will be held on Aug. 26 and 27 at the Lamont Recreation Grounds. The move was con-
firmed by festival coordinator Hazel Anaka. “We hope the entire community of Lamont, council, businesses, organizations and residents recognize the value of having this event move into their community and become actively involved in its continued success and growth,� stated Anaka. She added that the intention to move the festival, that has been held in the Village of Andrew for the past four years, was part of the initial announcement of the festival back in 2013. She added that, “The change in location will likely create the need for some changes, but it is far too early to know those
specifics.� Village of Andrew Mayor Heather Tait said members of council accepted the official letter from Babas & Borshch as information at its Sept. 14 meeting. Tait went on state: “Actually, it was always understood that the Babas & Borshch Festival would be held in Andrew for three years, and then the festival would be moving to another location within Lamont County. Essentially, we were surprised and definitely pleased that Babas & Borshch was held in Andrew for four years given the understanding of 2013.� Tait said they are
thankful and thoroughly appreciate the positive marketing and promotional efforts that have been provided. “A special thanks to all the organizations, sponsors, individuals, village staff, businesses and council who volunteered and participated in Babas & Borshch. We have a lot of good-hearted, hard working and gifted people who were inspired to make a significant and positive impact right here in our community. Moreover, they recognized the importance of offering their time, resources, and talents to contribute to the successes of this extraordinary cultural festival!�
Information fair coming to Bruderheim Michelle Pinon Editor
For the first time ever, the Town of Bruderheim and the Bruderheim Agricultural Society are joining forces to host a Senior’s Information Fair on Monday, Sept. 26. Organizer Sherry Cote says the event isn’t just for seniors, and much of the information can be beneficial to all residents. Some of the key topics are: antibullying and abuse information, fraud protection, senior grants for home renovations and medical needs, caregiver support, transportation, local frozen meals service, power of attorney, personal directives, wills and funeral preplanning. Some of the presenters will include: RCMP, Service Options for Seniors, Serenity Funeral Home, Caregivers Society, Primary Care Network, Lamont County Family & Community Support Services, FCSS), etc. Cote says the information fair is another way of getting information about services and resources out to the public. “This is open to everyone, not just seniors. There are lots of caregivers that are not aware of where they can access services and what might be available to them as well as the person they are caring for.� She went on to say, “In working with the residents of our community and the greater community, we discovered that residents do not know what resources are available to them.� The event will go from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the community hall. There will also be break out sessions as well as lunch. While there is no cost to attend, tickets must be reserved through the Bruderheim town office or Lamont County office in advance.

Local resident Verna Sharun couldnĘźt believe her eyes when she dug up this gigantic beet in her garden. “The kids said I had to bring it in,â€? commented 79-year-old Verna, who visited the Lamont Leader office Wednesday afternoon. The humongous beet weighed a total of 5.14 lbs. Sharun, who also had three smaller sized beets had a hard time cutting through the flesh, but persevered and made lots of beet relish. Still nursing a sore shoulder, Verna said she was taking this beet to StawnichyĘźs in Mundare for them to make into borscht soup. Definitely, a story worth sharing with her seven children, nine grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and our readers.

Ukrainian Village wraps up another successful season Michelle Pinon Editor
Even though the season is officially over at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, (UCHV), there is always planning, facilitation and restoration work that’s going on behind the scene. “Although our season is over for the public, a number of our Interpretation staff remain year round to facilitate school programs that take place in the fall and winter months,” stated David Makowsky, head of communications and external relations at UCHV. Our Ukrainian Christmas and Easter programs are fully booked, but other program options remain for local teachers to step back in time with their students. Our booking area is already receiving calls
about our popular spring tours in May-June and we can confirm that our 2017 Children’s Pioneer Days are June 16 and 19.” UCHV averages 45,000 visitors each year, and even though wet weather did impact attendance at the Celebration of Spring and Harvest of the Past, they are still on target to reach that number once again. “We had a strong showing at our Vintage Day Event and Friends Ukrainian Music Fest, to round out our other events. This fall, we will once again be planning for our 2017 events, and continue working with community partners that are involved in supporting each event. For example, we will be reaching out to local vintage car clubs and owners to attend our annual car show and shine on June 25, 2017.”
This season also saw the introduction of a number of culinary workshops, and Makowsky said plans are also underway to continue building on those popular events in 2017. “Local businesses may be interested to know that we do accept bookings year-round for meeting spaces, and that Friends of the Ukrainian Village Society can offer food services for these meetings or team-building opportunities.” This summer also marked the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, and was recognized through the feature exhibit Where We Came From. “This fall, we are once again inviting stories of ordinary Alberta families for a student art exhibit that will help celebrate the 150th anniversary of Canadian
Author shares powerful story of betrayal, grief and recovery Michelle Pinon Editor
No one was more shocked to be in the Mundare Library than Sharon Mallon on Thursday, Sept. 8; but sitting in an easy chair before 54 people was the former CFCW radio personality and host. “I’ve written more books than I’ve read,” admitted the celebrity who was promoting her book The Gift of Adultery. “I will tell you I no longer read from my book,” added Mallon as a way of protecting her heart. “Almost two and half years ago I was living the dream,” said Mallon who got married for a second time. “I thought I met a prince.” But that was before March of 2014 when she got a heart stopping call from her husband from a casino who had been having an affair for the past nine months. “I was never so shocked in my life.” The initial blow was just the beginning of the most painful chapter in her life. But through her journey, Mallon learned a lot. “What I learned about grief is that unless you have been through it, you don’t understand it” She explained that grief is something that hangs over you. “Sometimes the wind lifts it up, and on other days the veil weighs on you so heavily.” Often times, Mallon said she would wake up crying. She suffered from sleep deprivation as well as many other physical and mental affects from the betrayal. Finally, there came a point where it just didn’t matter, and she was able to let go emotionally and move on with her life freely. “When someone cheats on you, you
think its because of you or something you’ve done…But you come to realize it was nothing about me, it was about them.” Mallon said eventually did forgive her ex-husband, and believes behaviour doesn’t change until it comes full circle, and that may or may not happen with him. Mallon told the audience there is no way around grief, and to allow yourself to grieve, and go through the painful process. She said writing the book wasn’t therapeutic, but the reaction from people who read her book was powerful, and validated what had happened. She has found comfort in the letters and emails and feedback she has received since writing the book, and it was clearly evident from the outpouring of support from people during the book signing that her words and actions had far more personal meaning to them, and may just provide a measure of solace during their own time of grief.

It was a bit soggy during the Harvest of the Past Festival, but crews still managed to get some demonstration time with the binder during celebration on Sunday, September 11. Confederation by highlighting stories of experiences of all Alberta families.” The start of the 125th anniversary celebrations within the Ukrainian community in Alberta took place at the annual Ukrainian Day event in
August. “Co-hosted with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress-Alberta Council, Ukrainian Day was also an opportunity for our audience to get a preview of the Stelmach House Learning Centre, and many members of the Stelmach family were
able to join us on this day.” The days, weeks, and months ahead will be busy for staff, and it will be exciting to find out what will be in store next year at Alberta’s most unique living history museum.

From Where I Sit: No Place Here
By Hazel Anaka Three events that came together this summer got me thinking. The first was my involvement in our annual multi-family garage sale. This time it was at my mom’s place
fifty kilometres from where I live. A person has to be very committed to the endeavour to take part, what with the travel and time required to set up, work, and pack up at the end. Beside the obvious benefits of creating more space and money, there is something else at play here. The exercise forces some thought. That thinking should analyze past purchases and inform future buying decisions. It should cast a light on our relationship to things. It should help us decide when to cut our losses and part ways with something even if
we lose money in the process. It should prevent similar buying mistakes. It should create gratitude for those things that served us long and well and that we are now ready to release. On the first afternoon of the sale, I left early and drove to Edmonton to pre-view and pre-buy at a Ukrainian themed vintage sale. Am I the only one to see the irony in selling at one place and buying at another? Only I would know that some of the very things for sale there are similar to things I sold at long ago garage sales of my own. When my inter-
ests were different or I was distancing myself from my roots or space was tight, I sold my Ukrainian pottery. Not the handmade stuff. The kind of functional white ware with cross-stitch decals that is then fired and finds itself in cupboards and china cabinets. I didn’t buy any on Friday. But I did find other small items (carved wooden plate and trinket box, small linen piece, poppy painting on tile, beaded necklace, two leather bracelets, art cards, movie video). There was much more I coveted. Thirdly, my eighty-
something godmother gave me a five thousand dollar cheque. Her plan is to give each of her twelve godchildren a cheque now, while we can use it. It was a generous and unexpected gift. I told her I would consider what to do with it and let her know when I decided. Buying something as a remembrance seemed the logical thing to do. By the next morning it hit me. I would use it to buy an experience not a thing. I would use it to travel to Ukraine, which has become a recent bucket list goal. Buying versus selling, collecting versus purg-
ing, acquiring versus living. No one, including me, is going to stop shopping. Nor should we. Over time, my buying has changed. The purchases are more meaningful and less frequent. Maybe, at this point they’ll also become more experiential than tangible, more memorymaking than dust collecting. The beauty of that is there is no need (or ability) to sell them. In the meantime, I’ll love and use what I value and part with the rest. And if my tastes change again, I’ll chock it up to growth. Regret has no place here, from where I sit.
Love of draft horses propels local hitchman into history Michelle Pinon Editor The Big Hitch will be rolling into Chipman on Sunday, September 25 at the agricultural grounds. The man behind Hitch Masters Percherons will be starting to hook up his horses shortly after 10 a.m., and he is encouraging one an all to experience the world famous Big Hitch that was a huge hit in the Calgary Stampede and Red Deer parade this summer. “This type of hitch has not been done since 1925,” stated Neil Dimmock on a recent Facebook Post. He is hoping for a good reception from local folks and advises people to come see, pet, learn, ride along, and take pictures and videos of the gentle giants in action. “Come see history live!” Dimmock, whose love of draft horses is well known is always doing what he can to promote the breed, and it will be interesting to see them perform live. Visitors and residents in southern Alberta were treated to an impressive sight when the Big Hitch travelled from Gleichen to Strathmore and then to Calgary for the Greatest Show on Earth this past July. There were many skeptics, but he complet-
ed the journey and the parade without a hitch. Dimmock said it was great to feel the vibration of the crowd during the Stampede parade, and was especially proud to have his son Derek take the reigns for a few blocks during the event. “I really owe him (Bill Engman) a big favour,” said Dimmock of his right hand man who helped with permitting, public relations, and clean up along the way. “We started with no budget, and we ended with less.” But despite the financial and emotional hurdles, it was all worth it in the end. Shortly after returning home, Dimmock said they were already thinking about where to go next. Dimmock said he can’t thank his family, friends, and volunteers for making the Big Hitch such a success. “It was a real learning experience,” added Dimmock, who is continuing to train his horses and fellow drivers the reigns. There’s no doubt he will continue to hitch his wagon to a star, and will be showing his shining stars in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
