Lamont County moves forward twinning with Ukrainian community der.

“I’ve spoken to people in the Ukraine and the head of the council and they are working on the text of the memorandum of understanding between your two communities,” he said. “They are excited to sign the memorandum.”

He said while it was difficult to travel during the pandemic, he felt some of the village leaders could come to Lamont for the signing or possibly some of the councillors could go to the Ukraine.

“They could also send copies to each place and the signing could be done virtually,” he said. “It is a great opportunity and it would be very symbolic to celebrate the signing during the celebrations of 130 years of Ukrainian settlement in this area later this year.”

“I believe this memorandum is a good sign of co-operation between the two countries and regions.”

Reeve David Diduck said the council’s grandparents were the ones who emigrated to this area from the Ukraine.

“I know when we discussed this more than a year ago the general consensus was to sign the memorandum.”

Rindero said the next step would be to bring forth a finalized copy of the memorandum and then set a date to do the signing of the document.

Danyleiko suggested it would be nice to sign the document around the Sept. 7 date which is the anniversary of the Ukrainian settlement in Canada.

He added the memorandum could be presented in both English and Ukrainian and then copies could be signed and retained by both communities in both official languages.

“It great for opportunities in be beneficial to both communities.

BY JOHN MATHER After more than a year in the planning stages. mostly due to the Covid 19 pandemic, Lamont County is moving towards the finish line in twinning with a community in the Ukraine.

On Apr. 13, the Consul General of the Ukraine in Canada, Oleksandr Danyleiko, appeared before council to further discuss the twinning.

In giving a preamble, County FCCS director Sara Rindero, explained to council the background of the project.

“Over a year ago you may remember several of us met with council to provide a presentation outlining the opportunity to twin with the Village of Nebyliv, Kalush, Ukraine.”

She said the project was stalled by the Covid pandemic but last fall the project started again under the guidance of Rindero and economic development officer Jim Newman.

“At today’s meeting I wanted to introduce you to the consul general who has been instrumental in helping us move forward and develop a memorandum of understanding for the twinning.”

“It is my honour to be here in this cradle of Ukrainian settlement in Canada,” he said. He said the Village of Nebyliv was located in the western part of the country near the Polish bor-

This is where the earliest Lamont settlers came from, and the location of the county’s twin. agriculture, education and economic development,” he said. “This meeting is a benchmark for that and I’m very excited for Lamont County. It is something that’s very important for this community.”

Diduck added it was a great thing to help Ukrainian Canadians retain roots to their culture.

“We’ve been getting away from this and I think this will help bring our appreciation to our roots back.”

The Nebyliv and Kalush area was chosen for twinning because in 1891 Ivan Pylypow left that area to come for free land in the prairies of Canada.

After investigating settlement possibilities in Manitoba and Alberta with Wasyl Eleniak, a fellow villager, Pylypow returned to the Ukraine to

bring back both men’s families and as many friends and relatives as could be persuaded to accompany them.

Although he was arrested and tried for sedition by the Austrian authorities, and prevented from making his way back to Canada until 1893, the publicity generated by his trial advertised Canada more effectively than he himself could have done. By 1894, a Ukrainian settlement had emerged in the vicinity of Star.

Time saves: Fire Chief wants residents to call for help sooner

BY JANA SEMENIUK Regional Fire Chief Shayne Milliken is warning residents to take care when smoking outdoors after fire crews were called to a structure fire near Andrew on Apr. 12.

The fire, caused by the tossing of a cigarette butt, resulted in significant damage to the homeowners’ property.

“In this case we were looking at approximately $10,000 to $20,000 in damages,” said Milliken.

At least one structure was lost as well as other debris nearby in the yard.”

Milliken added that the fire festered for nearly 10 minutes before a passerby notified emergency personnel. Crews from Lamont and Bruderheim arrived on the scene within 15 minutes.

“The individual in this case did not call 911 at all and tried to put out the fire on their own which

A tossed cigarette butt was the cause of a fire near Andrew on Apr. 12 that resulted in nearly $20,000 in damages. Photo: Jana Semeniuk was not successful,” he said. “Had we been called sooner we probably could have stopped it from spreading as far as it did. It had spread quite far into the yard already.”

Milliken shared why some residents may be hesitant to contact 911 in these cases.

“In a rural setting it’s not uncommon to see smoke now and again particularly with brush

piles and burn permits,” he said. “So, I think there could be a bit of ‘this might be normal and I don’t want to bother anyone’. And it’s something we have been told by people sometimes when we come.”

While some people may be hesitant to call for help, Milliken wants to reassure people that it’s the best thing to do.

“It’s never a bother.

The best-case scenario is

we get there and we don’t have to do anything,” he said. “But if you see something that is not right, it’s best to just call. Don’t call your friends, don’t call family members and ask what to do, just call 911. The delay in calling is the difference we see between a one-hour fire and a sixhour fire.”

In the case of this fire, Milliken said crews had it under control quickly.

“We had this fire under control within 10– 15 minutes and out completely within three hours. There were several debris piles to work out,” he said.

While the cost of fighting a fire from natural causes is absorbed by the county, Milliken said fires that are caused by human error will be charged back to the land owners.

“There is a fee for

service, usually covered by their insurance company. It’s as per our bylaw, when the cause is connected to the owners.

It’s nothing crazy and only meant to offset some of the cost. Most of the time the bill is $1,500 or less. But the maximum that we are allowed to charge under our bylaw is $10,000,” he said.

Milliken also shared the current status of fire bans in the Lamont county area.

“Up until Apr. 15 we had just a fire advisory, but now we have fire restrictions which basically prohibits the burn permit program so no controlled burns, and no setting off of fireworks.

It’s a dry season,” he said. “I would be very surprised if we were not in a fire ban in the next week or two. But at this point the conditions don’t quite warrant that yet.”

Former Lamont teacher still loving life at 99 years

BY JANA SEMENIUK For the second year in a row, one of Lamont’s most senior residents will be having a quiet birthday in her nursing home.

Jessie Saruk, who turned 99 on Apr. 20, attributes her longevity to a simple lifestyle.

“Simple living,” she said in a recent phone interview. “I do what I can.”

While Saruk admits her eyesight is waning with the years, her memory remains sharp as she looked back on the story she was told of her birth.

“I was born in 1922 at five o’clock in the morning,” she said.

“Delivered by my grandmothers on the farm.”

Saruk shared fond memories of her early years growing up on the family farm in Lamont.

“I had three sisters and two brothers. My brother, William, who was two

years older than me was my hero. I tagged along after him and followed him everywhere,” she said. “As a result, I developed a love of the outdoors. A lot of my early years were spent in the outdoors with Bill.”

Saruk also developed a love of tree climbing.

“Many times, grandma had to rescue me out of a treetop.

I climbed because he did, but didn’t know how to get down,” she laughed.

Saruk also developed a love of education.

“I attended a one room school for seven years then went to a two-room school seven miles away,” she said. “I graduated from Andrew High School and in 1940 went to the Edmonton Normal School to become a teacher. That was when the war broke out.”

Edmonton Normal Schools were institutions

Lamont resident, Jessie Saruk, 99, fondly looks back at her yearbook from Edmonton's Normal School in 1941. Photo: Jana Semeniuk which trained primary and secondary school teachers in Alberta before merging with the University of Alberta in 1945 according to the U of A library. Saruk shared how the war changed

her school environment.

“When it broke out the school premises were taken over by the airport so we were being taught in Garneau Public School in Edmonton,” she said.

“As the war continued

the personnel that were our instructors were taken over by the government to lead the soldiers and we were given certificates at Christmas time after only three months in school. We were told we were teachers and to go and teach.

My wage was $190 a month.”

While education was important to Saruk, years later it was also important to her husband Alec. After years of summer sessions and night school resulted in a masters in education and psychology for him, Saruk decided it was time for her to go back to school as well.

“After my husband finished, I went to university and I took courses in education because all I had was a certificate and my wage was not very high,” she said.

“When I went into university and got my

degree in education my son Bertrand got his degree in science on the same day in 1973.”

Saruk fondly looked back on her many years of teaching.

“I taught for 50 years.

Being here (in the nursing home) I even have some of my old pupils here looking after me. I taught them. In one case I taught a little fellow in grade 3 and years later he became the principal of the school and was my principal for eight years,” she said. “It’s nice to reminisce.”

Although her pace has slowed down considerably over the years, Saruk said she is still enjoying life.

“I have three children, six grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren,” she said proudly. “My vision and vertigo give me trouble but I continue living and I play scrabble.”

Opinion Yes, we have 276 semis worth of debt… thanks Justin

BY JOHN MATHER In announcing $101 billion in new spending over three years is necessary to ensure Canada’s recovery doesn’t drag on like what happened for some countries following the 2008 financial crisis, Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said, “The world has learned the lesson of 2009, the cost of allowing economic hardship to fester,” she said. “For some countries, democracy itself has been threatened by that mistake.

We will not let that happen in Canada.”

No, in Canada democracy is threatened by an inept Liberal government that has absolutely no concept of living in areas outside of the southern Ontario and southern Quebec corridor.

“In 2020 job growth means green growth,” Freeland squeaked to a very empty looking House of Commons.

Of course sitting next to her was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, looking smug as he had the nerve to venture from his secluded cottage.

If you’re over 75 you’ll get a 10 per cent increase in your benefits starting next year and a one-time $500 payment this year.

Nothing for those who are in that area between 65 and 75. Go figure. But then, that age bracket doesn’t vote for the Liberals.

The government is rolling out a new child care program, which will benefit working moms across the country, but the implementation of a $15 minimum wage across the country is not likely to work. With many restaurants shut down from the pandemic, do these folks in the budget department really expect them to be able to top up wages to $15 per hour per person as they struggle to survive?

“There are things in that budget that can only please a listener from Quebec,“ said Bloc Leader, YvesFrancois Blanchett. “But our parents and grandparents have been completely left aside in the budget.”

He added the budget didn’t provide significant support to the elderly.

And there’s nothing of the additional healthcare transfers for the provinces as requested by the premiers.

Conservative leader Erin O’Toole, who just last week said he would have some form of carbon tax, stated the green form of the budget is more designed for election planning than anything to be used in an effective way.

“There is no plan here,” he said. “It’s reckless to have deficits as far as the eye can see,” said O’Toole. “It’s not good leadership.”

Continued

CONTINUED At 700 pages, it may take days to find out what the budget has buried in the fine print.

While it includes a few tax increases on foreign owned vacant homes, luxury boats, cars and planes and there is the required hike in sin taxes, it really doesn’t spell out any breaks for the western provinces.

In initial reads there doesn’t seem to be any rebates for the crushing carbon tax on farmers. Nor is there any relief for those farmers who have seen their savings wiped out due to flooding in the past few years.

No the green initiatives produced may have some benefits for Central Canada, where a 120 km trip is considered a long trip.

But in some ways that

may be appropriate because the biggest wind generator in the country would be the House of Commons.

Edmonton’s Mayor Don Ivison likes the budget for its child care and public transport budgets. But that doesn’t do anything for those living in Lamont, Andrew, Vegreville or other communities in the Lakeland area.

The budget projects Canada’s debt to over $1 trillion.

That’s $1,000,000,000,000.

A quick search of Google shows $1 trillion is roughly the GDP of Mexico or South Korea. It’s enough to purchase ExxonMobile and McDonald’s with enough money leftover to buy Coca Cola.

In the U.S., using the example of a $1 bill that weighs one gram, then $1 trillion would weigh in at

22,046,244.201837 pounds.

Or about 11. 25 tons approximately.

Want to haul that much cash home in $1 dollar bills … make sure you have 276 semis.

And that’s our Federal government’s legacy to future generations.

And people in Central Canada keep voting for these people.

Locally our MP Shannon Stubbs isn’t expected to comment on the budget until Thursday.

But while the Conservatives are indicating they won’t support the budget, the NDP state they won’t force an election during a pandemic, so the minority Liberals will keep throwing money around wildly for a while longer.

All parties will push for changes, but who knows what the Liberals will do.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Political Watching

BY HAZEL ANAKA Despite swearing off a slavish attention to 24-7 news TV and daily newspaper stories, I found myself tuning into CTV’s Question Period on Sunday morning. I had no idea what has been happening politically and thought it was time to check in. Especially since I have committed to working the federal election when the Liberal government falls due to a non-confidence vote.

I learned that the first federal budget under Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland (good Ukrainian girl from Alberta) will be tabled

Monday, April 19th. In fact, it will be the first federal budget in a long, long time. Because of Covid the governing party fell into the muchmaligned habit of trickling out fiscal snapshots only when pushed.

Opposition parties, economists, serious journalists, political pundits, and concerned Canadians all howled in protest. These updates didn’t provide the opportunity for debate and analysis. Those protests fell on deaf ears.

I’m not sure what odds makers and bookies are taking bets on. But in my simplistic understanding, this budget tabling can go one of two ways.

The Liberals can include a ‘poison pill,’ a proposal so repugnant to the opposition parties that they band together to defeat the government.

That would happen if they believe they have

the requisite support to win a majority government. Or the Liberals could have consulted so thoroughly they’ve gotten tacit support from their opponents.

If they’ve made it so perfect the opposition parties will have no good reason to vote against it and trigger an election.

In all this, each party worries about what would push Canadians to punish them. It’s a delicate balancing act for every party that requires much contortion, flipflops, political calculations, and creative spin.

Throw into the mix the internal and external polling each party does to gauge popularity and winnable seats and where they’re located.

Both the Conservatives and the Green Party have relatively new party leaders who are desperate to help Canadians learn who they are and

Babas and Borshch Festival to go virtual

BY JOHN MATHER After being cancelled by the Covid pandemic in 2020, the Babas and Borshch event will become virtual in 2021.

“This year we’re going to do a one day event on Aug. 21,” said festival organizer Hazel Anaka.

“What we’re going to do is have virtual content including some interviews.

One component that will be Covid compliant is that we’ll have Ukrainian combo plates.”

She added the dinners will have to be pre-ordered and pre-paid and then the customers can drive up to a door where the meals are prepared and pick them up.

“It’s hard to know how many meals to prepare,” she said. “So that’s the rationale for the prepayment.”

Lamont County FCSS is working on an inhouse created colouring book, said Anaka, and it will be online. In addi-

tion she said some hard copies of the colouring books will be available when people pick up their meals.

The Babas and Borshch colouring contest for kids has been

held for three years previously.

“It’s geared for children, but there’s additional Ukrainian information that’s good for adults as well.”

She adds the pandemic restrictions pose a moving target to some degree, so there may be some additional outside activities in August if they are allowed under the AHS regulations.

Anaka added while they would like to have some demonstrations of Ukrainian dance on the virtual part of the event, because of the restrictions regarding social distancing they can’t get the dancers together to perform nor can they get the necessary staff and producers together to film such an event.

“All the dance groups haven’t been getting together,” she lamented.

“And there would be limited appeal to watching solo performers for very long.”

She added they will be promoting the virtual event through traditional advertising and social media.

what they stand for. The NDPs, suffering in the polls are using the leverage they have as the government’s main prop to squeeze the Liberals for policies and money for their pet projects: Pharmacare, a national childcare strategy and more. There is no shortage of drama and maneuvering happening. We are merely tiny pawns in the process.

Keep your eyes peeled on developments.

Speaking of earning and keeping constituent support---regardless of whether you’re a mayor, councillor, premier, or

prime minister—it ain’t easy. Premier Kenney is a classic example. He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. No one statement or policy will be received the same way by a farmer in Andrew and a yuppie living in a condo on Whyte Avenue.

Governments at all levels pummeled by Covid and the resulting recession are simply trying to tread water and hold it all together until this is over. In fall’s municipal election, will politicians with a track record receive the required support to continue the

recovery process or do the wide-eyed inexperienced believe they know it all and can fix the world? As someone who’s been in that position, fixing the world singlehandedly is not possible, even in boom times.

One vote means nothing without the support of colleagues. Legislation, regulation, and money govern what can and can’t be done legally, responsibly, fairly. This work is not for the faint of heart, the lazy, the greedy, the unethical, or the narrow-minded, from where I sit.

Emergency calls up, more firefighters needed

BY JANA SEMENIUK A busy start to the spring season in Lamont County has firefighters hitting the ground running and looking for help.

Regional Fire Chief Shayne Milliken described an increased number of emergency calls so far compared to last year.

“Earlier this month we were working on 20 calls in under a week,” he said. “If we compare this time last year, we were at five calls for the month.”

Milliken attributes the increase in calls to a very dry spring season.

“It’s a dry season. Of the 20 calls, several were lighting strikes, a couple of vehicle accidents and burn complaints. In fire season, the fire calls go up but the other calls don’t really go away,” he said.

With a dedicated fire team, Milliken explained that many calls were able to be managed at the same time.

“Last week we had two back-to-back fire calls then a third came in that was a medical first response. So, three calls simultaneously,” he said.

“We’ve been able to manage with the number of first responders we have but we are always looking for people who

are interested in joining one of the stations.”

Milliken described the commitment level needed by a potential recruit.

“There’s a fairly significant level of commitment we need to be able to do this. If you have shift work and are away a month at a time this may not be the best fit,” he said. “But if you have evenings and a few weekends free in a month we would take you in a heartbeat. The recruitment piece here is really important. All of our stations could use a hand.”

Milliken further noted the benefits to becoming a firefighter.

“This is the most unique way to serve your community. Team building, morale, plus the opportunity to get some free training that is internationally accredited are all great reasons to join,” he said.

While firefighters are considered volunteer, Milliken explained compensation.

“We are considered volunteers but there is a compensation piece to this. Everything we do that is training or inci-

dent related there is compensation attached to it.

It doesn’t compare to a full-time job obviously, but it does help,” he said.

In addition, Milliken explained that fire teams across the county are a good mixture of women as well as men.

“The mix of men and women in the team we have now are top notch.

They are really dedicated,” he said.

Those interested in joining a fire department in Lamont County are encouraged to reach out to the department.

Public input sought in Value Chain Solutions expansion

BY JOHN MATHER The public is being invited to take part in the impact assessment process for the Value Chain Solutions Heartland Complex Expansion Project.

The project would expand the already approved Heartland Project, a bitumen upgrader and refinery located in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

The expansion of the approved bitumen upgrader would increase the facility’s input capacity from 29,890 cu. metres of diluted bitu-

men per day to 119,240 cubic metres per day.

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada is conducting the review and invites both public and indigenous groups to review and provide feedback on the draft Tailored Impact Statement Guideline and the draft Public Participation plan.

The guideline outlines the project’s specific factors that will be considered in the assessment and provides directions to the proponent Value Chain Solutions Inc. on the information and

This is to notify you with respect to a decision of the Development Authority whereby a Development Permit has been issued authorizing the following development: DEVELOPMENT PERMIT 044-021-002 ISSUED MARCH 26, 2021 LEGAL DESCRIPTION: PLAN 4806U, BLOCK 1 LOT 10-12 PROPOSAL: ADDITION OF EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENT APPROVED WITH VARIANCE ON MINIMUM PARKING STALLS ON SITE

Pandemic likely to cancel Chipman Car Show for second year

BY JOHN MATHER It looks like the Covid pandemic and associated health restrictions will force the cancellation of the Chipman Car Crafters Club Show for the second year in a row.

While the club’s Facebook page indicates the show will proceed on June 5 and 6, club president Dave Gray now says that’s not likely to happen.

“I’ll be having a conference call with the other club members later this month to make the final decision,” he said. “The logistics of putting on the show in the style we’re used to is pretty much impossible.”

“If we do go ahead with something we might do a cruisin’ day,” he said. “We can invite some people to come out for a cruise where we can drive through the town

and then head over to Lamont and go by the seniors centre and show off the cars for them.”

The show which began 21 years ago had the theme, “Just for Fun 21”

for this year but those plans seem to be over.

The show was also cancelled last year because of the pandemic.

Some of the topics concerning Albertans included health care and royalty payments.
