Local fire departments to show their support for safety and emergency response open house Michelle Pinon Editor

The 16th annual Neighbour Day in Fort Saskatchewan is just around the corner, and several local fire departments are going to show their support by participating in the special event which is hosted by the Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NACAER) organization.

NACAER is this region’s mutual aid emergency response organization, and its members will be on hand, bringing a community and industry safety flavour to the event which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Dow Centennial Centre between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“Community safety is a shared goal, and we want residents to know that local emergency response teams from industry, municipalities, and other partner agencies work together closely on an ongoing basis,” says Brenda Gheran, NRCAER’s executive director.

“A number of our members will be bringing response units that day, and it’s an opportunity for

residents to see a variety of resources up close,” points out Gheran. NACAER members and partners work together under the area’s mutual aid plan, which facilitates access to resources such as additional equipment and skilled responders should a large scale incident occur in the region.

Gheran went on to say, “Mutual aid also extends to residents in the region doing their part so overall response is effective. Knowing risks in the area, having a basic personal emergency plan, and getting a kit are preparedness steps that everyone can take. We’ll have emergency preparedness guidebooks and information available to help residents, and fun, interactive games, activities, prizes and a free photo booth.”

NACAER members include emergency management professionals from area industry and pipeline operators, chemical transporters and the municipal emergency departments of Fort Saskatchewan, Bruderheim, Gibbons, Lamont, Morinville and the counties of Lamont, Strathcona and Sturgeon.

Since 1991, the group has been sharing best practices in emergency management and response, training, community safety education and notification.

Lamont to receive funding for seniors lodge Michelle Pinon Editor Lamont is one of five communities in the province to receive funding for affordable seniors lodging, and Mayor Bill Skinner couldn't be more thrilled about the news.

S k i n n e r, who is also the chair of t h e Lamont County

Mayo r Bill

H o u s i n g Foundation (LCHF), verified that Lamont will be receiving $10.8 million in funding phase one of a two phase project.

"I'm very hopeful it (the project) will be well received and help meet the need," added Skinner. He feels the new "aging in place" facility will be wonderful for both new and existing residents.

Skinner said there is always a waiting list for the assisted living units, and the new facility will better meet the needs of people in the community. As well, being next door to the hospital and clinics, is another great advantage. To have self sustaining fulltime care and be able to stay within the

Skin ner

community longer is a win-win as far as Skinner is concerned, and he can hardly wait until the shovels are in the ground.

During construction Skinner says they will continue to maintain a higher level of service and cause the least amount of disruption to

people's lives. After phase one is completed, the plan is to move onto phase two that will involve the demolition of the existing lodge, and construction of the new one. During the transition phase residents will be temporarily moved to Andrew and Mundare for lodging.

The joint funding announcement by the province and federal government was officially made public on July 28th.

The combined investment totaled $47 million, and was awarded to: Lamont, Rimbey, Blairmore, Magrath, and Cold Lake.

Jim Hillyer, MP for Lethbridge stated: "Our government is proud to invest in affordable housing for seniors. With these five new projects underway, we are taking action and demonstrating our commitment to helping those who need it most. We recognize that our seniors are best served by accessing safe and affordable housing while staying close to their families and friends, in their communities."

Opinion

MLA Fenske sends out her own positive message Positive messages often take a back seat in the news but there is much to celebrate in Alberta.

Last year, Alberta was responsible for 87 per cent of the total job growth in Canada. This province, led by, yes, a P r o g r e s s i v e C o n s e r v a t i v e Government, accounts for only about 10 per cent of all Canadians.

Such massive job creation means a massive number of people are moving to Alberta to make these job opportunities theirs. These Albertans need new homes, schools, libraries, hospitals, police, and countless other services.

This puts enormous pressure on our roads, infrastructure and the training of individuals needed to provide these essential services.

I would be the first to admit there are glitches in the delivery of infrastructure but remember that we have seen our population surge from 3 million to over 4 million and well on its way to 5 million in just a few short years. We know we have to invest now instead of waiting until the money under the mattress allows us to start to build. Our roads, especially in North East Alberta, cannot wait 30 more years. This government has encouraged

private industry and not tried to manage all aspects of industry as other parties are apt to do. Take a look at the record of other governments in other provinces across Canada.

According to the recent TD Bank forecast Alberta will have a per capita GDP of $88,000 next year, compared to $53,000 for the rest of the country. Jobs aren’t the only way Alberta leads the rest of the country.

Alberta’s trade surplus in May, according to Bloomberg, was $7.4 Billion almost equal to the trade deficit in the rest of the country - $6.9 Billion. Our economy is fueling the country.

Much is happening in Fort SaskatchewanVegreville. We will be opening the new Doctor Turner Lodge this December.

The Vegreville Hospital will see the beginning of what I anticipate to be many new upgrades.

Our children from Tofield to Lavoy to Fort Saskatchewan are enjoying new playground equipment. New schools and new school additions are taking place in Fort Saskatchewan, Mundare, and Vegreville.

Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) recipients have additional benefits under this PC

government and our first responders now have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Presumptive Coverage.

Initiatives to better deal with mental health and social issues are being funded to increase the resiliency of vulnerable Albertans, families, and communities.

Irrigation districts in southern Alberta will receive grants to improve irrigation systems that support more than 55 different crops and supply water to 50 communities. This government has worked to expand our markets for agricultural products across the globe.

I could fill several

newspapers highlighting the research, innovation, and advantages Albertan’s receive daily.

People choose to live in Alberta because they see its potential, its beauty, and the opportunities that await them. Yes, there are things that can and are being improved and this government is prepared to make the necessary changes when poor economic performance occurs, however, we should then be equally proud of the outstanding positive results when statistics provide such proof.

Province lifts road ban from Highway 29 in time for harvest Michelle Pinon Editor

There was a collective sigh of relief on Wednesday when local producers were informed about the lifting of the 75 per cent ban on Highway 29.

The welcome news was shared by Lamont County agricultural fieldman Terry Eleniak during a telephone call to the Lamont Leader on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Initially, Lamont County council and Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske were to meet with Albertan Transportation officials on Aug. 29 to discuss the ban, as well as upgrading the primary highway. That meeting has been cancelled in light of this recent development.

In a statement issued

by Fenske she stated,

“As of today, Thursday, August 28 the road ban has been lifted from Highway 29. It addresses the first step we identified at our meeting to get some immediate resolve for this harvest season.

Please note that the spring ban will, at this time, be in effect so it will be necessary to attempt to make plans with the elevators to address hauling in the spring.�

Fenske went on to say, “A meeting with the minister will be scheduled following the PC leadership decision. In the meantime, I have and will continue to be in contact with Alberta Transportation in Red Deer to address the second step identified at our meeting which will be to get the overlay onto the three year budget cycle.�

The issue, will be discussed more thoroughly during the annual fall

Flat bed trailer stolen Michelle Pinon Editor

Sometime between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. on August 24, a 16 foot Goertzen flat bed trailer was stolen from a property in Bruderheim.

Property owner George Campbell also told the Lamont Leader that his metal gate was also damaged during the robbery. He estimates the value of the trailer to be between $5,000 and $6,000 and is asking if there is anyone who may have seen or heard of anything regarding the crime to call the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Special ceremony of reaffirmation of Canadian Citizenship unites one and all Michelle Pinon Editor Mykola Nykyforuk was 11-years-old when he came to Canada.

The year was 1994. Even though the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine had been adopted by the Ukrainian Parliament on Aug. 24, 1991; Nykyforuk said his father, (who was a priest), was still facing death threats, and had to billet him and his siblings out to other families for their safety.

Eventually, the family had to leave the Ukraine altogether because of instability. The hope for a better life came, and Nykyforuk graduated from high school in Grand Prairie, and later went on to earn a degree in psychology. “Most importantly, that’s when I met my wife,” said Nykyforuk.

He considers himself, his siblings as well as some of his cousins “very lucky” to have moved to Canada, but he also feels “very sorry” for other relMICHELLE PINON PHOTO

atives who live in the Ukraine because of the current situation there.

“I’m very grateful to be a Canadian citizen, and I will try and help those in the Ukraine, and I hope one day they will have the independence that we Canadians enjoy.”

Nykyforuk , was one of around 200 people who participated in the special ceremony of reaffirmation of Canadian Citizenship at the Andrew Community Centre on Aug. 24th during the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival.

Mary Immaculate to celebrate its success Submitted by Mary Immaculate Hospital

On Sept. 7 from 1 to 4 p.m., the board and staff of Mary Immaculate Hospital in Mundare will be hosting an open house and they invite you to join them in celebrating the successes of Mary Immaculate Hospital and Catholic Heath Care in Alberta.

In 2013 Catholic health facilities, under the umbrella of Covenant Health, celebrated the 150th anniversary of Catholic health care in Alberta. In 1863 the Grey Nuns established the first hospital in the Northwest Territory, in St. Albert. Then, over the years, several other reli-

gious orders of sisters established hospitals in the area encompassed by Alberta. The past year has seen celebrations in the Catholic facilities to recognize the role the sisters played in health care.

Mundare was also an important part of this growth. In 1929 the Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate built the Mundare General Hospital to serve the medical needs of the people in the area. The building served the community, first as Mundare General and then as Mary Immaculate Hospital in Mundare (1962), till 1978 when a new 30 bed complex with both active and extended care facilities

was constructed. Today the facility, no longer with active beds, offers 30 continuing care beds and a doctors’ clinic.

Over the years many improvements and changes have been made to the facility. These were made possible with funding from Alberta Health Services, the Hospital Auxiliary and the Hospital Foundation.

We would like to showcase these changes and therefore a decision was made to host an open house.

What can we expect at the open house? We will start with tours of the facility, highlighting some of the key areas of development, have a short program at 2 p.m. followed by refresh-

ments and continuation of the tours. Information about the facility and displays will be available for viewing and you will have a chance to visit all areas of the facility and meet the hospital board, the staff and the residents for whom this is “home”.

Mary Immaculate Hospital is an integral part of the Mundare community, offering a safe haven for citizens in need of compassionate care and service at this point of their life. Please join us in celebrating the successes of Mary Immaculate Hospital.

Again, the open house is on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. See you there.

everyone of you for being part of the reaffirmation ceremony...we have a whole lot to be thankful for and to reflect on why we are so proud to be Canadian.”

Citizenship Judge Laurie Mozeson presided over the ceremony, and said she was appreciative of the opportunity to help celebrate the special occasion.

She encouraged participants not to take the peace and freedom, and quality of life they have for granted.

Members of the Ukrainian Cultural Society of St. Paul & District led the crowd in the singing of O Canada to conclude the ceremony.

Construction delays can’t set back school principal Michelle Pinon Editor

Tracey Arbuthnott has a knack for looking on the bright side of things.

Arbuthnott, Principal of Mundare School, always has his glass half full and his positive attitude has been a godsend, especially since the opening of the new school (originally slated to open Sept. 2, 2014), has been delayed another month.

"If everything goes along as planned the school will open the October long weekend," confirmed Arbuthnott during a tour of the new school last Friday.

Originally the new school was to be completed by the May long weekend, then it was late July, and finally early August. But on August 8th, Arbuthnott found out they would not be opening on the first day of school.

Arbuthnott personally phoned each and every staff member to tell them the news, and said that while they were initially disappointed, they have been incredibly supportive. "All my staff have been incredibly supportive and understanding." The same goes to parents and other community members who were notified in writing about the delay ten days later.

This fellow took a moment to look up from his task of levelling cement outside of the southeast entrance.

Arbuthnott says the community deserves a school where everything is done right, even if that means not rushing and having the job done right the first time. In fact the delay is like a cloud with a silver lining, adds Arbuthnott, because it will give movers a chance to deliver all the furniture, and staff a chance to get set up prior to move in day.

Arbuthnott couldn't contain his excitement during the tour. He says that every time he goes on site progress has been made. He greets and chats briefly with labourers who are laying cement, finishing the platforms for the modulars, installing cabinets, mudding drywall, and hanging heating vent covers during the walk about.

There's plenty of built in cabinetry and storage, a warm and welcoming colour palette in each of the rooms, as well as plenty of natural daylight throughout the school. Every room is equipped with WiFi and Smart Boards and is very user friendly and environmentally friendly. Arbuthnott says the past three and a half years have been a bit of a blur, but is so very grateful for the opportunity to have had a hand in the plans and decision making along the way.

It's plain to see by the broad grin on Arbuthnott's face that he can hardly wait for opening day, and the chance to show off the space to students who will be going in there for the very first time.

Mundare School Principal Tracey Arbuthnott stands in the main entrance of the new school.

Stubbs declares her candidacy in Lakeland constituency Michelle Pinon Editor

Shannon Stubbs firmly believes and wants to ensure there is another strong voice in Ottawa,

and that is why she announced her candidacy for the Conservative Party of Canada nomination in Lakeland on Thursday, Aug. 27 in Vegreville.

Shannon Stubbs, right, poses with Shayne Saskiw, MLA for Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills. Stubbs is seeking the nomination in the federal riding of Lakeland in the upcoming election.

“With a shifting landscape in federal politics I believe the biggest threat to Alberta’s continued prosperity and to our economy is Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals.”

Stubbs, who grew up on a farm near Chipman, went on to say, “I want to use my knowledge and experience to ensure that there is another strong voice in Ottawa alongside Prime Minister Stephen Harper to advocate for Alberta values, our rural communities, and our economic interests. I will work tirelessly to stand up to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals as well as the reckless NDP” Back in 2012 Stubbs ran as the Wildrose Party

candidate for Fort SaskatchewanVegreville. “The results of that election finally gave Alberta a strong and effective opposition party that is consistently holding the government to account.”

Stubbs has been a member of the Conservative Party of Canada “for most of time” since it was formed in 2003 when the former federal P r o g r e s s i v e Conservative Party merged with the Reform Party, and she was a member of the Canadian Alliance and Reform Party prior to that.

“When I was 15, I joined my local MP’s constituency board (Reform MP Ken Epp),

and have been actively involved in the party since then. While in university I worked in Preston Manning’s office in Ottawa, and later in Reform MP Deb Grey’s constituency office for four years.”

Currently, Stubbs is the vice-president of policy for the Lakeland Electoral District Association.

“The announcement that MP Brian Storseth will not be seeking election in the new riding of Lakeland, as originally anticipated, means the newly formed federal riding of Lakeland will not have an incumbent MP going into the next election.

“Brian was a fantastic representative for Westlock-St. Paul, and I

was honoured when he asked me to consider running for the new riding of Lakeland. I currently live in Vegreville and my finace and I intend to live in the constituency permanently,” added Stubbs.

“A nomination date has not yet been set by the Lakeland CPC Association. Once the nomination opens, I will submit my application to the local committee. Any member in good standing of the Conservative Party of Canada can vote in the nomination, provided they are members at least 21 days before the nomination meeting date.”

The date of the next federal election is set for October 19, 2015.

Dr. Ray golf tourney raises $10,000 for surgical programs Michelle Pinon Editor

The second annual Dr. Ray Memorial Golf Tournament was an overwhelming success

again, raising more than $10,000 for surgical programs at the Lamont Health Care Centre.

“The event was a success, the weather cooperated, and the mosquitos stayed away!” stated

Linda Findlay, left, was the lucky 50/50 draw winner and received congratulations from event co-ordinator Johanne Chicoine.

event coordinator Johanne Chicoine.

The one day tournament drew 15 teams and 21 guests to the Fort In View Golf Course near Fort Saskatchewan. “The event was packed with contests and a $20,000 hole-in-one (which wasn’t won), and lots of door prizes, draws and silent auction.”

The champions of the tournament were Dawn Vandelight, Wendy Piccott, Joe Edwards and Ruby Edwards. Linda Findlay walked away with the 50/50 draw cash prize. It was a great day of golf, and Chicoine said the food and service was par excellence!

“Thanks to all the volunteers that helped us during the day and the many sponsors,” added Chicoine.

Dr. Ray was a strong advocate for surgical programs in Lamont and surrounding communities, and Chicoine, along with many other supporters, are more than happy to honour Dr. Ray’s legacy.

Mundare Arena upgrading project supporters acknowledged

Society, Barclay Leitch, Malcolm McNiven, Darcy Boyko, Ryan Warawa, Peter Polischuk, Lamont County councillors Daniel Warawa and Roy Anaka, Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus, Shaun Clough and Jason Wytrykush from the Pioneer Foundation, and members of Mundare Minor Hockey Association.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Aug. 16 was a great day to celebrate as members of the Mundare Agricultural Society accepted congratulations and financial contribu-

tions from supporters of the arena upgrading project.

Mundare Ag. Society representatives Peter Polischuk, Ryan Warawa, Nathan Kokotyn, Malcolm and Barclay Leith gratefully accepted a $40,000

cheque from the Richarson Foundation.

Previously, the ag. society had received funding from Lamont County, $30,000; Mundare Minor Hockey Association, $20,000 and the Town of Mundare, $10,000. The province

kicked in a $75,000 grant and the remainder of the costs will be picked up by the ag. society.

Polischuk says there has been a lot of support from members of the local community who have made personal donations in recent

years. “We’ve been planning and raising money over the last five years,” said Polischuk.

He was also happy to report that construction is currently underway, and everything should be wrapped up before the season gets under-

way in early October.

Prairie Panels is upgrading the lobby as well as the players bench and the dressing rooms.

“These are the first structural changes since 1974,” noted Polischuk, who is thrilled to see the project come to fruition.

Lamont ATB hosts Teddy Bear Tea Party in support of children’s hospitals Michelle Pinon Editor “If for every wellintended prayer uttered in hopes of making the world a better place, there was instead a good deed accomplished, the world might look as though those prayers had been answered,” wrote American author and journalist David G. McAfee.

Those words ring especially true for employees, customers, and sponsors of ATB Financial that helped raise more than $900,000 for the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation in Edmonton and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation in Calgary.

Folks at the ATB Financial branch in Lamont also generously contributed to the Teddy for a Toonie campaign, raising over $1,900 locally during the month of May. As a way of saying thank you, branch manager Michaela Wheeler and her customer service representatives held a Teddy Bear Tea Party on

Tuesday, Aug. 26.

Staff decorated the branch with their own Teddy Bears and stuffed animals and served coffee, tea, punch and cookies to customers. “We just wanted to say thank you,” said Wheeler. She and her associates feel very fortunate to have the Stollery in the region, and personally know of a couple of people who have used their services

in the past.

The 2014 Teddy for a Toonie campaign was the most successful since launching in 2000. Since that time, almost $6 million has been raised.

Those millions have helped the children’s hospitals to develop innovative rehabilitation programs and acquire state-of-the-art equipment that saves young lives every single day.

The 2014 fundraising campaign will support ambulatory clinic expansion, operating room and critical care room redevelopment at the Stollery. As well, proceeds will also help fund new technology, (MR compatible EEG and mock MRI scanner), dedicated space for the pediatric brain imaging clinic at the Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Adam Stock concert raises $10,500 in funds to assist cancer patients and their families Michelle Pinon Editor

Being a part of something much bigger than yourself is very gratifying, and that’s how everyone Brian Ho talked to during the Adam Stock concert in Lamont on Aug. 23 felt.

“It was a very family friendly event,” added Ho, who organized the concert for ID VIP Team Corp.

“Everyone seemed to find things to enjoy,” said Ho, who was kept very busy during the day long event.

Ho said that according to rough numbers there were 275 people in attendance. The total amount of proceeds netted $10,500 for Adam’s Army Fund that provides funds for families in similar circumstances as Adam Cripps who has undergone several surgeries

for cancer and related treatments in the past.

Adam as well as several other family members were in attendance during the concert, and all expressed their gratitude to the people who came out for the event and supported the cause.

For Adam, who has terminal stage four colon cancer and is now confined to a wheelchair, the highlight of the day was receiving a gift of a guitar to celebrate his 16th birthday.

Ho said they are planning on hosting the concert again in Lamont, and will be making a formal request to the town for use of the recreational grounds for next year’s event that is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 22. The Town of Lamont agreed to donate the grounds at no charge to organizers for this year’s concert.

Back to School Safety

Drivers play a large role in back to school safety. Be alert and cautious. Watch for children and school buses. Here are some tips to keep our children safe:

x Always watch for children crossing roads. Be prepared to stop or slow down. x Alternating flashing yellow or amber lights means a bus is slowing down to stop. Do the same. The only exception to this rule is when the bus is on the opposite side of a highway divided by a median. x Stop when the school bus activates its alternately flashing red lights. The penalty for passing a school bus with its alternating flashing red lights activated is $402 and six demerit points. x Know and obey the speed limits in school and playground zones. The speed limit in both urban and rural school zones is 30 km/h and is in effect on school days from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. unless other times are posted. The speed limit in a playground zone is 30 km/h and is in effect from 8:30 a.m. to one hour after sunset.

Terry Fox Run The Terry Fox Run for Lamont County is bein held in Lamont on Sunday, September 14, starting at the Lamont Recreation Center.

Start time is 1 p.m., with events planned until 4 p.m. Come participate in a 3km, 5km, or 10km bike, walk or run.

Heartland 101 Live to Web Air Quality Data Feed

FCSS Lamont County Region Parents and Tots

Fort Air Partnership (FAP) has just launched a new service on its website www.fortair.org which gives the public direct access to near real time hourly readings from FAP’s eight continuous air monitoring stations in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland region. In addition to the current 19 substances tracked by FAP, four meteorological conditions (temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction) can be viewed on demand.

The live-to-web data feed is interactive, making it possible for the user to see multiple substances for one station, or one substance for multiple stations. With a click of the mouse, the readings can be compared to provincial objectives. Variables such as dates and times can be adjusted and graphs can be easily saved or printed.

“We created this new service because it’s important to us and the public that the air quality data we collect is as transparent and available as possible. This is a very easy and direct way to communicate data of the greatest interest to the individual,” explained FAP Executive Director Nadine Blaney. For example, someone in the Bruderheim area interested in only local sulfur dioxide and methane readings can easily go to FAP’s website and track those readings coming from the Bruderheim station.

The data available on the FAP live data site are raw numbers but quality controls ensure the data is validated before being permanently stored in the Clean Air Strategic Alliance Data Warehouse. This historical data can be reviewed on-line at www.casadata.org.

“This new public service is one example of the benefits of recently upgrading our system with network data collection software.” Blaney noted that system upgrades are part of FAP’s overall regional network monitoring plan, which was unveiled in February and will take several years to complete.

Chemical Container Recycling CleanFARMS partners with ag-retailers and municipalities to collect empty commercial pesticide and fertilizer containers from farmers across the country. Since the program began in 1989, more than 100 million empty containers have been collected.

Farmers can drop off their clean empty containers at the St. Michael Landfill at no charge. Containers 23 litres and smaller are collected; containers larger than 23 litres should be returned to the point of sale or to the manufacturer for disposal.

Preparation Steps Step 1.Rinse All containers should be triple rinsed or pressure rinsed before they are brought in for recycling to make sure the container is clean prior to entering the recycling process.

Step 2.Remove The cap and booklet should be removed. The glued-on label can stay on the container. The paper booklet cannot be recycled through the same recycling process as the containers and the cap must be removed because it is made of a different type of plastic. Metal handles commonly found on fertilizer pails should be removed.

Step 3.Return Farmers should return their containers to the closest drop-off location to be recycled. y
