Bruderheim Heartland Ag Days runs smooth even with heat wave
Chuckwagon and chariot racers fly around what is considered one of the fastest tracks on the circuit. Even though greatly competitive and dangerous, the riders also wish eachother good luck and cheer eachother on. The races went on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. During the intermission on Saturday and Sunday the crowds where wowed by trick riding duet The Graham Sisters, who demonstrated death defying tricks while at top speeds on their horses
Unsightly yard causes Mundare resident to act on heated issue Michelle Pinon Editor
The state of a front yard in Mundare has caught the eye and the ire of more than one of its residents. Town councillor Frank Rosypal described the front yard (along 52 St. and 54 Ave.), as a “disgrace” as its lawn is unkempt and rampant with weeds. “It’s an ongoing thing. Mr. Wheeler has been trying to get it cleaned up for a long time,” stated Rosypal. Wheeler, who lives across the street from the property, which houses an adult group home, contacted Rosypal early last week to try and get the situation resolved. Even though the property owner, Covenant Health, has been given several notices, Wheeler says it has been a constant uphill battle to get the grass cut on a regular basis and weeds sprayed. The Town of Mundare had previously issued unsightly premises notices on July 27th and Aug. 3rd, but nothing had been done until Aug. 16th. Although some
work had been done, Wheeler fears the yard will fall into a similar state once the pressure has been lifted. According to the Town of Mundare’s Community Standards Bylaw, which was passed on Aug.7th; it stipulates that: “Uncut grass or weeds on any parcel of land shall be maintained at a height not to exceed 15 cm (six inches) in length.” U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Wheeler says property owners who receive a written notice can hide behind the law which states: “Any person who receives a order under this bylaw, may by written notice request council to review the order within 14 days.” Council can also confirm, rescind, or vary the notice that was issued. As well, a person affected by the decision of council may appeal to the Court of Queen’s bench within 30 days after the date of the decision of council if: the procedure required to be followed is not followed and/or the decision is patently unreasonable. “If the property owner has not complied with notice to maintain prop-
erty by the specified deadline, an inspector shall have the right to direct any person to do the work required by the order. The cost of doing the work required, plus an administration fee may be recovered from the property owner as debt due to the town or such costs may be charged against property taxes due and owning, pursuant to the Municipal Government Act.” Under the new Community Standards Bylaw, the administration fee for every lot requiring enforcement is $75. Anthony Brannen, executive director with Mary Immaculate Hospital, said that he was apprised of the situation and notice of complaint regarding the group home, and that the grass has been cut and weeds treated last Thursday. “I feel the current issue has been taken care,” said Brannen. He added that Covenant Health will be following up with WJS, which leases the property, about the grass and weeds as well as a rickety fence.

Finding a cure for breast cancer with a town of pink Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
The Town of Lamont will be welcoming the "Wild Pink Yonder" with a fun filled evening of events on August 31, starting at 5:30 p.m., as the team rides through the community on horseback in an effort to raise money to fund breast cancer research The Wild Pink Yonder, spear headed by local resident Jane Hurl, is travelling for a total of 23 days, and stopping at approximately 25 towns. Throughout their travels, they encourage towns to do their own fundraising to help the group reach their Alberta wide goal. Lamont has definitely made a huge step in this initiative, with donation boxes located in businesses throughout the town as well as pink horseshoes being sold. Businesses are also encouraged to decorate their building in lieu of the event. All the events throughout town are being organized by Sylvia McDonald, and Jodie Derksen. Both the women believe the issue of breast cancer awareness is one that needs to be supported, and eventually hope that with fundraising efforts a cure may soon be found."My aunt had breast cancer," explains McDonald. Both women have felt the effects of this disease throughout their personal lives through themselves and their families, and have used this experience to help motivate them to take part in this great cause. The town will be holding a bike parade to ride alongside the horses as they come into town. Bikers are asked to decorate their bikes with anything pink, along with breast cancer awareness items. Derksen and McDonald plan to provide a grand prize draw for the children who ride in the parade, however, they are still looking for donations to help fund the event. Bicycle decorations can be purchased at Lamont Home Hardware here in town who has generously offered their services. Along with the decora-
tions to be used for the parade, Home Hardware has also donated pink paint to help us color

The women would also like to thank the Lamont Ag. society for their continuing assistance. However, they are still looking for more volunteers and donations in order to make this event a bigger success. McDonald and Derksen have organized a multitude of ways for people to help the initiative and raise money such as donation boxes being placed in businesses around town. "We've also bought Breast Cancer Ribbons" days Derksen. The Ribbons are to be used as decorations in individual businesses, and then will later be moved to the towns curling rink to be displayed during the festivities on August 31.
the Flower Pot, Smith Insurance, and the Lamont Hair Boutique. The women have also organized a family barbeque to be held at the curling rink from 6-8 p.m. where they will be selling hot dogs or ham-
burgers and pop for five dollars. Following the barbeque, the town of Lamont will be hosting a variety show in support of the Wild Pink Yonder, with all ages showcasing their individual talents. Auditions will be held on August 22, and the women are still looking for more people to fill the two and a half hour show in the name of our town and breast cancer research. All of these preparations are to go toward a contest being held by the The Wild Pink Yonder. The challenge is for each town the team stops in to become the "Pinkest Little Town in the West". To do this, members of the town must completely amaze and overwhelm the rid-

ers with support in the form of donations and having businesses decorate their buildings in the color pink. "We do hope the businesses will start decorating as soon as possible" says McDonald. The winners of the contest will receive a prize of a free concert for the town, and a number of roadside signs commemorating their success. All donation boxes will be collected on August 31 before the riders come
into town, and the town will present all of the money raised to Wild Pink Yonder at the end of the festivities. The ladies are hoping to raise at least $5000 throughout the town, but would be ecstatic if the citizens were able to pull through and raise more than that amount. Along with monetary donations, citizens can also donate their time by helping run any of the events happening that day.

Beloved horseman fondly remembered Michelle Pinon Editor
Fred Olson died as he lived with his cowboy hat and boots on and hands on the reigns of his horses. The Chipman area horseman and longtime chuckwagon driver passed away last Saturday doing what he loved best, giving wagon rides to attendees of a 25th anniversary celebration near Elk Island Park. "He was one of my best friends," stated Wayne Schoepp, who was informed of the sad news later that day. "I had a real good talk with him that day," said Schoepp, who met up with him that morning. Olson, had his team of standard breeds in the parade in Bruderheim to show his support of the Heartland Ag. Days. Schoepp had asked his good friend if he remembered "What today was?" It took Olson a few minutes before responding that it was Wayne and his wife's wedding anniversary. "It was 34 years ago to the day," said Schoepp that Fred and his wife Mary Ann

It was a prayer Schoepp recited before the start of the Chariot and Chuckwagon races in Bruderheim and "throughout the land" over the years and including Friday evening. "I felt we needed something to set the mood, and I asked her to build a prayer. I wanted to portray the fact that drivers are real people; not just a bunch of rednecks on horses." Fred Olson was a salt of the earth type of person, and someone who will be dearly missed by family, friends and acquaintances, who had the pleasure of loving and knowing the kind horseman.

On the lighter side Sumertime is such fun. It's a chance to kick back and relax and enjoy great weather and good old fashioned fun. Such was the case this past weekend during Bruderheim's Heartland Ag. Days and Mundare Agri Days. Both events were jam packed with so many things to see and do. To think that all of this was made possible through the power of volunteers is truly amazing! I am always in awe of what can be accomplished when community minded people come together for a common cause. I always hope there will be people who are inspired by such events to lend a helping hand and get involved in some small way. Building community starts with each and everyone of us. It's a concept that can easily elude us in several ways; but it can also illuminate us in tangible and intangible ways. When I was at the Chipman Hall about six months ago I spotted a poster on one of the walls that talked about building community. Some of the ideas and suggestions were basic and made a lot of sense, and it made me think of several things in different ways. The first suggestion: Turn off your TV. That could definitely be a challenge for nesters in winter, but an idea that should be explored since it fosters real life connections. "Leave your house. Know your neighbours. Look up when you are walking. Greet people. Sit on your stoop. Plant flowers." Some of the other suggestions I liked were to use the library, buy from local merchants, hire young people for odd jobs, share your skills, support neighbourhood schools, organize a block party, have a potluck, help carry something heavy, and bake extra and share. Other advice I enjoyed reading: Listen before you react to anger, mediate a conflict, seek to understand, learn from new and uncomfortable angles, and know that no one is silent though many are not heard. Work to change this. Michelle Pinon

Letter to the Editor Community standards being compromised Dear Editor, The Mundare Group Home is located on a street where the residents take a great deal of pride in their homes. This is directly reflected by the efforts that homeowners put into maintaining the highest of standards for their beautiful properties. Up until the 1st of May 2012, the same could have been said about the group home. However, with the departure of the last of the long term staff
members, the outside has fallen into disarray; lawns are unkempt and rampant with weeds. It has become an eyesore and a negative effect on property values. New staff members have clearly demonstrated that they have no interest in maintaining the outside of the home, and why should they! They don't live here! They don't pay taxes here! They are gone at the end of their shift! The operators of this
home - W.J.S. - only react when their feet are held to the fire. Several warnings, both verbal and written have been issued by the Town of Mundare. When tenants refuse to maintain community standards then that responsibility falls to the registered owner, in this case, Covenant Health! Their staff and clients don't live in these conditions, so why do they expect the clients of their group home to? There is more to being a landlord
than holding your hand out to collect substantive tax dollars for rent. There is a responsibility, on their part, to see that community standards for this home are maintained. Hopefully, positive steps will be taken not only to bring this home back up to acceptable community standards, but to see that they are maintained in the future. Yours truly, Robert Wheeler

Bruderheim Moravian church holds movie under the stars Jazmine Inskter Student Reporter
The Bruderheim Moravian Church is holding a movie under the stars on August 24 starting at 8:30 p.m. The movie to be shown is "The Muppet Movie", and is playing behind the church. The summer movie night is an annual event hosted by the church and is meant to be a night out for members of the community to relax and have fun both with their families and each other. The church started putting on the movies in 2009, and has been running them ever since. As it is a free event, it is run completely by volunteers, youth, and the church members who have decided to give their time to this fun filled night. "We want to have the church offer a fun opportunity that is family orientated" says Moravian Church member Janice Vitt. She, along with other members hope this event will raise a bit of awareness of the church and its programs; but
mostly, they just want to offer a safe environment that families can go out together and have fun, without paying as much money as they would if they chose to go out somewhere else. In previous years, the church has watched movies such as "Wall-E", "Up", "Toy Story 3" and "Despicable Me". Although the amount of people who show up truly depends on the weather, there has been a history of a fairly large crowd. "We have had over 200 people in the past" explains Vitt. The event is open to adults and kids of all ages, and they will have free popcorn and drinks for the whole family. As the event is outside, people in attendance are required to bring their own seating arrangements such as chairs and blankets. They are also encouraged to bring anything else they might want such as bug spray, and food in case the church's supplies end up running low. It would be a good idea to arrive a little bit early to help make sure you have a
good seating area set up. The movie night will run rain or shine, as it can be taken inside if the weather does not allow for the event to be held
outside as planned. Vitt plans to have another great turnout this year, stating that "Two hundred (people) would be fabulous."

Urban forest management plan bodes well for Bruderheim and a much greener future
PHOTO BY MICHELLE PINON
Town employee Sharon Sinclair stands with Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch.
Bruderheim Council recently approved an Urban Forest Management Plan to outline the care of all trees within the Town’s areas of responsibility, including street, boulevard, park, and recreational facilities. “The Plan aims to ensure the long-term enhancement of our local urban forest through recognized standards and practices for proper tree care and management,” says Bruderheim Mayor, Karl Hauch. Bruderheim Council recognized the need to care for and support its tree populations when it initiated the Urban Forest Landscaping Project in the summer of
2011. The new Plan will provide supporting documentation and guide Administration and Public Works in terms of adequate budgeting and maintenance procedures. “Everyone enjoys the grace and beauty of a mature, healthy tree,” adds Hauch. “Our goal is to ensure that today’s trees are still a part of our landscape well into the future of our Town.” The Urban Forest Management Plan outlines a number of objectives to achieve this. A few of these include updating the current tree inventory, developing criteria for the selection and removal of tree species, and establishing of a comprehensive set of
procedures for all tree maintenance activities. “Together with this plan, we can build a more vibrant and healthy urban forest for our community today, tomorrow and for the years to come,” says Hauch. “The City of Lacombe created an Urban Forest Management Planand was generous enough to provide some support in the creation of ours. Banff and Okotoks have also created Urban Forest Management Plans,” added Hauch. For more a detailed description and outline of the plan, go to the Town of Bruderheim website.

thinking and doing with the aid of technology. For about the last four months, the Harrold's have been producing electricity via solar panels. While they don't pro-
duce enough power to operate totally off the grid, they are nevertheless happy with the results. At its peak, the 27 panel system can produce between seven and 7.4 kilowatts of power. In terms of energy, that would be approximately the equivalent of taking on average, non-conserving household off the grid for a year," points out Kirk. Once the monitoring system is up and running, they will be able to graph and grid via bluetooth. "When you're looking at alternative energy sources; everyone benefits. I feel we can contribute to a certain extent to work for the common good," says Trudy. "I really feel this is the way of the future," adds Kirk, who believes it is important for con-
sumers not to have to rely on mega projects in order to produce the power that is needed. They both describe solar technology as very simple, clean, cost effective, and efficient, and are hoping more people will start producing their own power in the future. "This really is an information gathering project that will determine the future of solar power," says Kirk. Education has always been part of the Harrold's mandate, and the project is already generating considerable interest among other family members and friends. They are hoping to expand on the educational component in the future by hosting tours. "This is just an extension of what we do. It's all part of the learning process, and we want our grandchildren to
have a sustainable future," says Trudy. Throughout the history of the farm the family has always strived to be good environmental stewards and help sustain the operation and way of life. "We're concerned with the long run," says Kirk, who not only wants to pay it forward, but grow it forward for generations to come.
They truly believe now is the time for consumers to start empowering themselves, and they are more than willing to act as conductors of the experiment that will serve to diversify and strengthen people and the environment in which they work and live.
Former Mundare resident returns home for book signing Michelle Pinon
Editor While Debra Kasowski may have already charted her destination in life; the former Mundare area resident is helping others do the same. This past Saturday, Kasowski (nee Nakonechny), was busy signing autographs during her book signing at the Mundare Recreation Centre. Co-author of GPS Your Best Life - Charting Your Destination and Getting There in Style returned to her hometown to celebrate the accomplishment. Kasowski says the purpose of the guidebook is to give readers a clear vision of what they want, teach them how to map out their plan, and how to navigate the obstacles that will come their way when life happens. Kasowski, who coauthored the book with Charmaine Hammond, donated $2 from every book sold to the Mundare Public Library to support literacy. "Giving back is an important part of my speaking, coaching, and
seminar business," said the nurse, who has spent the past 17 years in the healthcare industry. "I decided that $2 from the

messages to reach the audiences core being, and to strive for personal excellence. "Charmaine and I recognize that we all face challenges in creating our best lives. We knew we had many of the tools to help others create their. We wrote the book with women in mind, however, men would love this book too. The message we want to share with readers is that it is never too late to share creating your best life. Like the GPS, you can start where you are to get to where you want to go. You first need to get clear on what it is you exactly want and
start mapping out your plan...It is important for us to get as many people to read our book and this powerful message of creating a life of passion, purpose, happiness and true fulfillment." It's a very exciting time for Kasowski, who said that Mundare was her
first book signing since she opened the box of books she received from her publisher a couple of weeks ago. The book will be officially released later this fall, but is already available on w w w. b e t t i e y o u n g s books.com and www.amazon.com

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), August 21, 2012 - 9
Government of Canada Announces Student Loan Forgiveness for Family Doctors and Nurses in Rural Communities Leon Benoit, Member of Parliament for Vegreville-Wainwright, is pleased to announce new initiatives by the C o n s e r v a t i v e Government to strengthen our health care system and our rural communities. Benoit joins the Hon. Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, and the Hon. Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, in announcing that the Government of Canada will forgive a portion of Canada Student Loans for family doctors and nurses who practice in rural communities, starting in Spring 2013. “This is another important step by a Government committed to strengthening primary health care services in rural communities,” said Benoit. The initiative will not only alleviate the high cost of education and training for many Canadians in the health care field, but will also encourage more health care professionals to work in the communities that need them the most. “These measures will apply to communities with populations of 50,000 or less, as well as communities that provide health care services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis populations,” clarified Benoit. "This is an important step which

will make a difference for my friends and neighbours living in rural areas. This, along with our tax reduction regime and improvements to our immigration system will make it far more likely
that doctors will settle down in rural areas." These initiatives will benefit health care professionals that began their work in our rural communities on or after April 1st, 2012. Family doctors and residents of
family medicine who begin to work in undeserved rural communities will be eligible for a Canada Student Loan forgiveness of $8,000 per year, up to a maximum of $40,000. Nurses and nurse practitioners will
be eligible for Canada Student Loan forgiveness of $4,000 per year, up to a maximum of $20,000. “Canada’s Economic Action Plan works for all Canadians, in all areas of the country,” Benoit said.
“This recent announcement is just another example of our Government’s commitment to a sound recovery in all areas of the country, as well as maintaining the health of Canadians.”

Get Ready for Back to School Back to school can be stressful for parents and kids Starting the back to school routine early can help ease the transition
It’s that time of year again, with barely two weeks left until school starts, and laying a good foundation for back to school now can help your household manage the change in gear smoothly, without stress. Starting good sleeping and rising habits now can help make an easy transition to early mornings when school starts. Battle River School Division students start
their school year on Thursday, Aug. 30, while Elk Island School Division’s first day of instruction is Tuesday, Sept. 4. Both divisions have excellent web sites, Elk Island School Division information can be found at: www.eips.ca, including contact information for each individual school in the division as well as school calendars. The Battle River School
Division web site can be found at www.brsd.ab.ca, where you can also check the school division calendar. Both Division’s websites have links to the individual schools within the division for specific contact information and school start times. Make your children’s first day of school as stress free as possible by getting back into a routine now.
