All of the 2012 Centenary Pioneer Certificate recipients at Ukrainian Days were introduced on stage following presentations for their ancestors.

Ukrainian Days enjoyed by all with great weather, fine cuisine and entertainment Tracy Harding Staff Writer

The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village hosted Ukrainian Days this past Sunday.

With thousands in attendance it was a huge success, with many locals and visitors from around the province and beyond taking in much of the Ukrainian culture.

The day started off with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Friends of the Ukrainian Village Society.

There was a market, an art show that featured Ukrainian art and pysankys for purchase, as well as musical entertainment went on all day at different venues throughout the village.

One of the busiest locations was the "Summer Kitchen", where line ups never slowed down with people wanting all of the great Ukrainian cuisine.

Visitors could purchase everything from perogies, cabbage rolls, kielbasa, borscht and more.

There was a special section for kids to make different crafts, as well as a game section that the kids could do bean bag toss, tug-a-war, log throwing (with pool noodles), and a puzzle. There was a chess challenge where you could either challenge some one to play chess or learn to play chess.

There was also the Centenary Pioneer Certificate presentation, which included a plaque presentation at the Centenary Monument. Each of the familiesreceived certificates to take home for keepsakes. These certificates go to families that are first families whom have settled in Canada, and Lamont County as well.

Organizers reminded audience members there are only two years left to nominate families for this great honour.

Then the concert began which included music by the Ukrainian band Zhyto from Calgary, Lastiwka Choir, and Pavlychenko Folklorique Ensemble.

A great time was had by all who attended, enjoying the weather, great food, and great entertainment.

Lamont Summer Reading Program closes with success Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter

Throughout the summer months, the Lamont Public Library held their Annual Summer

every week.

The program has been running for roughly 20 years. There has always been an exceptional turnout for these events every summer, and there

The program will be coming to a close this week, but will definitely be back next year with even more fun and activities for the kids with the theme of "The amazing Race".

Even though the program is just about done for the summer, Kinash recommends that people continue to set aside a time for themselves to come into the library with their family, and continue to help their kids have the resources to read continuously.

Reading Program.

The walk-in day program was open to children from ages four to 12, to instill a love of reading into the new generation.

Among the people who worked to make this program a success was Krystal Kinash, who assisted with the decorating and the carrying out of events throughout the seven-week-program.

This year followed the theme of "Imagine," which showcased a different classical story every Wednesday, in all of that day's stories and games tying together the common theme.

The program also included a visit from "Magic Mike" who performed a special magic show for the children.

The program was an overall success and had great turnout nearly every single week averaging close to 30 children

were years where the library was not able to provide sufficient space for the amount of kids that had turned up and had to be moved into the school gym. "I think one year the most kids we had in the library was 70," said Kinash.

While in the library, located conveniently in the Lamont High School, children were treated to crafts, games, and of course a lot of great reads.

The program hopes to be able to give kids a place for them to sit down and schedule a time for reading, and give them an opportunity to have more books at their disposal, added Kinash.

The children took part in a contest that lasted throughout the summer, to challenge the children to read more. Kinash explains that while a lot of children will read a great deal throughout

Love at first sight for local Anatolian Shepherd breeder Michelle Pinon Editor

Love at first sight.

It not only happens to humans or animals, but between human and animal.

Such was the case with Annette Begin and her first

Anatolian Shepherd Dogs (Cobi Kopegi) is the Western term used to describe the native livestock guardian dogs from Turkey. These dogs have been bred for thousands of years to guard sheep, goats, chickens, alpacas, horses and other livestock living in the anatolian region of that country.

Begin is careful to point out the Anatolian Shepherd is not a German Shepherd. "An Anatolian Shepherd is a full time guardian, whereas a German Shepherd is a full time herding dog. They are not the same temperament at all." She also notes that livestock guardian dog lives with the herd full-time and protects them with no direction from the farm, and a herding dog interacts with the stock by rounding them up and controlling the movement of the herd. "They are loyal and regal, and they do their job well," adds Begin.

Begin is a member of the Anatolian Shepherd

Anatolian Shepherd dog Tanner. "I had him for seven years," says Begin as her voice breaks and she begins to cry. While apologizing profusely for displaying her strong emotions, and wiping away tears, she looks up with a bitter sweetness in her eyes. "Every time I talk about Tanner I cry."

The St. Michael area resident smiles wistfully as she thinks about her beloved companion.

Tanner inspired Begin to start her own dog breeding business, and the formation of Razi Acres Anatolian Shepherd Dogs three years ago.

"It's such a fabulous Annette Begin holds a couple of Zarafat’s puppies. breed that I wanted to bring them into Canada," says Begin, who purchased Max and Zarafet three years ago.

What a great deal!

Later on, she purchased Lovely upgraded 1 Kiraz. Recently Zarafet bedroom home with triple attached garage. All neat & had her first litter of clean.

Dogs International Inc., American Kennel Club. as well as the Canadian Kennel Club. While the breed has been recognized in Canada, she hopes that it will become a registered breed in the near future. "It's bred to live in extremes and is very easy to train," adds Begin, as they can thrive in a wide variety of climates with temperatures ranging from plus 30 degrees celsius to minus 50 degrees celsius. "They have two coats of fur, an overcoat, and a cashmere under coat," points out Begin.

"Our dogs are part of our family, and we appreciate them for both their loyalty and their wonderful personalities. We have created our puppy application questionnaire and puppy contract specifically to ensure that when the puppy goes to a new home, that the owners are well prepared and know what to expect from their Anatolian."

The Anatolian's come in a variety of colours, ranging from fawn with or without the black mask, pinto, white or brindle. They are tall, rugged and powerful; and posses great endurance and agility. They range in size between 27 and 29 inches tall, and weigh between 80 to 150 pounds.

Instinctively protective, the Anatolian is a calm, reserved breed around strangers, show loyalty and love only to his family. "Because Anatolians were bred to make independent decisions while working, owner commands may not be followed to the letter, but they are very trainable."

Victory and defeat; the human spirit always endures Watching video clips of athletes performing at the Olympic Games Sunday afternoon I couldn't help but be moved to tears as my eyes drank in the glorious victories, heart wrenching defeats, and painful injuries the athletes experienced.

While Canadian athletes won 18 medals in 11 different sports at the 30th Olympiad, I was more focused on the human interest stories that so succinctly illustrated the struggles and triumphs, dedication and sacrifices, hard work and unfulfilled hopes, all of the athletes shared throughout the games.

Even though London had its share of controversies and tales of corruption, it had more genuine moments and sincerit in my humble opinion. I always try to keep things in perspective, and despite some reported wrong doing, disruptive meddling, substance and steroid abuse, and unsubstantiated allegations of pay offs of officials.

It's much harder to find and bring out the positives when poor judgement and mistakes can easily overshadow the events which are captured and simultaneously relayed to viewers throughout the world.

One news item that caught my eye, and the eye of viewers around the world was Wojdan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim, the first female athlete to ever compete in the games from Saudi Arabia. She participated in the 78 kg class in judo. Although the bout only lasted 82 seconds, her appearance has already left an indelible mark.

Other impressive athletes I watched were: Double amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorious and amputee swimmer Natalie du Toit, both of South Africa. There were several athletes who were legally blind that competed in track and field events as well as archery.

I guess it's about breaking down barriers and proving there is a place for everyone at the Olympics. There is so much more to the games than medals, and it was so inspiring to see that side of it.

There were many inspiring examples, and it is exciting to know that many young Canadians will feel the urge to do better, be better, and set their own examples in the days, weeks, and years to come.

Letter to the Editor Conservative Government Attacks Small Business Dear Editor, Conservative Environment Minister Peter Kent’s claim that businesses near national parks and historic sites are getting a “free ride” is ludicrous and insulting to the owners and operators of thousands of small businesses across Canada.

Despite what Mr. Kent

says, operating a small business is not a “privilege,” it is an absolute right of every single Canadian who dreams of being an entrepreneur.

His plan to tax these businesses simply for being close to federal land would be devastating to local economies— not to mention that it would likely be illegal.

Small businesses are a

key pillar of the Canadian economy and employ over 5,000,000 Canadians. The government should be supporting their development, not adding fees that may force them to close their doors.

If Mr. Kent wants to raise property taxes on small business so much he should run as a municipal politician.

Until then he should focus on his job of protecting the environment and stop threatening small business owners with higher Conservative taxes.

Yours sincerely, Joyce Murray, MP Liberal Party of Canada Critic for Small Business and Tourism

Bruderheim Ag Days just around the corner, mad dash to get organized in last week of preparation Tracy Harding Staff Writer

Bruderheim Agricultural Society started their Ag Days in 2008, during Bruderheim Centennial Celebration. They hosted chuckwagon and chariot races, as well as events for the kids to enjoy.

Each year they host the event in August, and it has grown every year.

In 2007 the Ag grounds track had been used for a dirt bike rally, when the Ag society was approached the chuck wagon and chariot racing association to reconstruct the grounds into a race track. The Ag society spent the next year removing the mounds of dirt, and the smoothing out the grounds. Then they placed steel piping around the grounds to form it into a ring. By 2008 came around they

had everything ready for the big event.

Over the last seven years that the Ag Days have been held, the event has grown tremendously.

“We are a great location, there is no other track like this one between Edmonton and Vegreville,” says Bruderheim Ag President Vic Schneider. “We (the Ag society) has been told by the riders that we are the fastest track around.”

The racing association takes care of all the organization of the races and the riders. The Ag society’s main job is to take care of the track, and keep it safe for riders, as well as the horses.

This year the chuckwagon races have 45 entries, and the chariot races have 50 entries.

Other events that will take place throughout the weekend, such as an

pancake breakfast, parade, frisbee toss for the kids, petting zoo, and train rides courtesy of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce.

The Ag society is lucky to receive help from other organizations in the town such as the Bruderheim Lion’s Club, the Bruderheim Minor Sports Association, and Bruderheim Fire Department. This year there will also be a steak supper being hosted by two local residents Joanne Fischet and Judy Love.

“We try to keep things moving and entertaining for the whole event, we don’t want to lose peoples interest. Any event I attend through the year I am comparing and getting more ideas for our own event.”

There are endless hours that go into organizing the Ag Days, and

The Lamont Leader welcomes Jazmine Inkster to the team Michelle Pinon Editor

The Lamont Leader would like to welcome Jazmine Inkster to our team of writers.

Inkster recently started with our team as a student writer, and will be helping us with having an inside source with different groups of people throughout the town and county throughout the summer and upcoming school year. She will be covering a variety of school and community events, as well as future stories.

After moving around for a period of time, she came to be here in Lamont, and has been living in Lamont County since last August. She is currently in the process of finishing her high school, and eventually wants to pursue a career in journalism. Inkster is currently 18 years old, and is going to be finishing her grade twelve in the upcoming year, then eventually going on to attend Grant Macewan University.

Inkster has always had

a love of writing, and has constantly been recognized for her writing ability from a very young age. As well as writing, she also enjoys photography, and of course reading.

Her inspiration to begin writing had origi-

nally come from the weekly television show 16X9, where she realized how big of a difference people could truly make when they put in the effort to help citizens know what is really going on in the world.

the planning pretty well begins as soon as the past year is finished.

There are approximately 20 members on the Ag society, and when it comes down crunch time everyone does their part.

The biggest struggle that the Ag society has faced in previous years has been parking, “We have gotten the riders and animals figured out perfectly, but have worked very hard to get the people coming to watch to park in an orderly fashioned. We have now put in 30 foot long poles to help guide the parking,” says Schneider.

Over the last three years, they have had the great opportunity of adding the Graham Sisters during the intermission, whom are trick riders, and put on an incredible show. The

addition of the sisters has brought more people out each year. “The greatest advertising that was given to the event, including the Graham Sisters was through

word of mouth.” This year the sisters will be introducing the act of jumping through a ring of fire, that will surely entertain the crowd.

Paso fino horses promoted at Calgary Stampede Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter

Local Paso Fino enthusiast Maria Young recently took a trip down to the Calgary Stampede from July 10-14 to promote knowledge about her horses and the breed in general.

Young, who owns and oper-

need a horse that is gentler on the body, added Young.

She and her husband have been specializing in Paso Fino's for the past three years in this area, but she has been around them her entire life. She grew up around the breed as her uncle was very involved with them back in Columbia. This year was the first year that she has gone to the Calgary Stampede, however, the event has been showing Paso Finos for the past five years.

When asked why she finds Paso Fino's so unique, she explained that in many ways they are unlike any of the other breeds. "Because of their temperament, and their smoothness, you don't bounce or hurt. They are very sociable, and they like being with you."

Another very prominent trait in the Paso Fino breed is their intelligence and willingness to please. In general, the horses are very people orientated, and often bond strongly with their primary owner. Young explains that the Paso Fino breed is a very loving type of horse, and is great for those who enjoy riding, because of their

it for good" says Young.

During her trip to the Calgary Stampede, Young had set up an information booth, and showed people who were there why this breed is a great choice for those who are interested in horses. "We got a really good response, and everyone was amazed"says Young. There was a total of four Paso Fino's at the stampede, with three of those being from El Ranchito.

Her and her horses also took part in this years Summer Sizzler parade, and helped to carry the Canadian flag during the rodeo. She won a prize in the category of best animal in the parade, and there's no doubt that with the amount of pride and passion she has for Paso Finos that she will be dismounting from her saddle anytime soon.
