Visitors had the chance to try out the Voyager Canoes on Astotin Lake at the EINP park day.
Park Day at EINP packed with ecology information Visitors have fun while learning about history and species at Elk Island National Park MAUREEN SULLIVAN Parks Day at Elk Island National Park (EINP) on July 20, was jammed packed with activities. The day started at 8:00 a.m. with a guided birding walk along the Amisk Wuche Trail. With over 250 bird species recorded in the park, it's a great trip for novice and expert bird watchers. Early morning visits provide a better chance of sighting birds. At the Astotin Lake Recreation Area visitors could participate in Mini Tipi making, learn to camp games, Voyageur Canoe rides, enjoy a musical called The Well Worn Trail, fiddlers and a talk on the Photography of Flora.
Those interested in history could travel back in time and see the history of the buffalo and take the Bison Backstage tour at the Heritage Barn near the visitor centre. The first ever BioBlitz at EINP where visitors became citizen scientists and joined forces with scientists, taxon experts and nature enthusiasts to take a "nature selfie", to track and inventory all the species that can be identified. "A BioBlitz is a very useful tool used to track the biodiversity that exists in a particular ecologically important area", said James Page of the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CFW). "By uploading photos of wildlife using the
iNaturalist app, during the BioBlitz is a very simple way for people to get involved in real conservation activity by helping us take a snapshot of the ecology of the park." The CFW encourages everyone to take a nature selfie everywhere they go, at anytime, as a very real way to help with conservation. To become a citizen scientist download the free iNaturalist.ca app, create an account, using a smartphone snap photos of widlife and plants, add in details - the app instantly suggests species identification, save and upload (the app will store the observations to upload online later). Check back later
to see if anyone has identified the picture or commented. Other organizations providing information and activities included the Edmonton Native Plant Society, Friends of Elk Island Society, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Alberta Community Bat Society, Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, Fort Saskatchewan Prairie, Insects of Alberta and Alberta Aquarium. The day ended with Bison Tales around the campfire and a guided Bat walk to explore the many benefits of conserving bats, not least their ability to eat so many insects like mosquitos.

Opinion Climate change is bad science Inconsistent facts are what debunk scientific theories, yet global warming (since called climate change) carries on as if all facts support the theory unequivocally. That’s always what I think when I come across a news story that seems different from the facts climate change alarmists present and push upon us as unarguable. On July 15, 1942 six P-38 Lightning fighter aircrafts and two B-17 Flying Fortress bombers encountered a blizzard during a WWII mission and had to make an emergency landing on the glaciers of Greenland. The crew members were rescued, but the aircraft were left behind on those glaciers. One of the planes (since called Glacier Girl) was discovered and subsequently recovered in 1992 under 250 feet of ice, and restored to working condition. Now, another P-38 Echo from the Lost Squadron has been found under 300 feet of glacier ice and extraction of that aircraft will begin next year. The thing that caught my attention was the 300 feet of ice. I thought all glaciers were melting?, according to climate change alarmists. The very fact that these abandoned planes are being searched for under hundreds of feet of ice seems inconsistent with the propaganda I have been reading about on a daily basis. During the time of “global warming” (1990s), an age long before “climate change”, scientists found that weather was actually going through a period of cooling and has been doing so since 1999 (thus the name change). About 20 years prior earth was apparently warming, and a recorded period prior to 1979 it was again cooling. But these weather patterns are only generalities. The weather was neither cooling or warming in all places on the planet. Climate change alarmists say 97 percent of scientists agree positively that climate change is a reality. But who are these scientists? And why don’t 100 percent agree that it is a reality? I am pretty sure if you asked every mathematician the answer to the question of what 1+1 is, 100 percent would say 2. Scientists estimate that the earth is roughly five billion years old, yet humans have only been able to record weather accurately for “maybe” the last 100 years. I say “maybe”, because even today it is easy to tell people about the continual rains in Alberta during the late spring and summer seasons of 2019, yet there are pockets all over Alberta where farmers report below average rainfall. Was the entire world accurately recording weather in the late 1800s or early 1900s? I rather doubt that. Even suppose it was true, if climate science is even 100 years old it means that humans have been comparing weather patterns for .00000002 percent of earth’s history. Basing a theory on such little information is fine. But basing a conclusion on the same limited facts seems to me like bad science. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Alberta cities far behind the rest of Canada for establishing tech talent As Calgary and Edmonton try to establish a significant tech industry in Alberta, a report released on Thursday by commercial real estate firm CBRE indicates just how far behind Alberta is when it comes to tech talent. Neither Alberta city made it to the top 50 list in North America for tech talent. But both Edmonton and Calgary were listed in the report as being one of the top 25 next up and coming tech talent markets in North America. It found that Edmonton has experienced 26 per cent total tech growth in the past five years while Calgary had a decline of seven
per cent. Toronto was ranked third in North America, behind the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle in CBRE’s 2019 Scoring Tech Talent report. “Toronto’s pool of tech talent grew at the fastest pace of all 50 markets measured, adding an eye-popping 80,100 tech jobs in the past five years, a 54 per cent increase. Toronto nearly equaled the number of tech jobs created in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2013,” said CBRE. Vancouver was ranked 12th, Montreal 13th and Ottawa 19th. “Vancouver rose 13 spots to come in at No. 12, which was
the greatest year-over-year improvement of any North American market. Vancouver benefited from tech-centric post-secondary schools such as the B.C. Institute of Technology and University of British Columbia,” said CBRE. “We hear about tech more and more, but in a thriving city like Toronto, the impact of tech companies and the growing influence of tech talent cannot be overstated. Tech job growth has a multiplier effect in the economy and the influence of tech is re-shaping virtually every sector of real estate,” said Paul Morassutti, CBRE Canada vice-chairman.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Incredible News
BY HAZEL ANAKA A lot of research has gone into how people learn. We know some are visual learners, others do better with auditory instructions. Others learn by getting down and dirty and actually doing… whatever. Some are destined to ‘learn the hard way’ by ignoring advice, common sense, all things reasonable.
Letter: Alberta cities not as tech savy? Continued from Page 4 “Toronto, San Francisco and Seattle are comfortably mentioned in the same sentence and are attracting the best in the industry. Vancouver’s 42.6 per cent growth in tech jobs over the past five years puts it among the leading markets on the continent.” CBRE said Hamilton and the Waterloo Region are identified in the TechTalent report as two of the fastest-growing “Opportunity Markets” in North America. Hamilton had a 52.1 per cent gain in the number tech jobs added over the past five years, while Waterloo Region had 40.4 per cent growth. “Opportunity
Others learn by trial and error, crashing and burning. No end of clichés and inspirational quotes remind us that failing is not a big deal if we only persevere (until we succeed). That Einstein learned thousands of ways not to make an incandescent bulb until he stumbled across the one way that did work. That practice makes perfect. That failing to plan is planning to fail. You get the idea. Further, the resources people use to learn something has changed over the millennia. Way back when, proteges learned by interning with their mentors. Think burgeoning artists apprenticing under masters. Maybe that’s not so
ancient a practice after all; today’s apprenticeship programs are the more formal way to learn and earn certification in trades like plumbing and hairdressing. Today many learn how to do everything from cutting up a whole chicken to repairing a small engine to tying a scarf by watching YouTube videos. Some of us still prefer books because of the ability to highlight the important passages or read and reread a section until the fog clears and we understand. Whether you subscribe to Malcolm Gladwell’s premise that a person needs to practise something for 10,000 hours to become a phenom or not, most people agree that nearly everyone gets bet-
Markets offer quality labour pools and affordability that supports rapid scalability,” said Morassutti. “These markets can be ideal for small-scale operations, startups and tech jobs with non-tech employers like banks, media and services firms.” The scorecard uses 13 metrics to measure each market’s depth, vitality and attractiveness. “Canada’s 832,900
tech workers, 5.3 per cent of the nation’s total workforce, have an outsize impact on real estate markets and the broader economy,” said Morassutti. “Tech talent workers are fuelling innovation and adapting technology within the non-traditional sectors to increase productivity and strengthen the Canadian economy.” Mario Toneguzzi

ter at something if their attention is regular, deliberate and dedicated to improvement. Think master musicians or elite athletes or bestselling authors who practise scales or shoot at a net or write daily thousands of times over many years. Sometimes mastery comes through solitary focus with the occasional finetuning input from coaches, mentors, instructors. Introverts are in their comfort zone with minimal interaction with others; they like people, they just need alone time to recharge. Other times, learning is done in classrooms, workshops, dedicated retreats or sabbaticals. And still other times,
we learn in social situations. At a recent gathering in a variety of conversations with friends and family, I learned a few things. I learned that there are two types of electrical adapters travelers take to Europe. One is for electronics and the other for small appliances like hair styling tools. Using the wrong one can result in serious damage to your hair. I learned that people in their eighties can get ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and the devastation of the disease is heartbreaking. I also learned that living with cancer is incredibly tough but is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. For some, Alzheimer’s

Temporary by-law passed by Bruderheim Council BY JOHN MATHER Brudehreim held a special council meeting July 17 in order to quickly pass a by-law that will only be on the books for a few months at most. When a municipal audit was done for Bruderheim last December it was noted the town didn’t have a Municipal Subdivision and Appeal Board. Legislative Services officer Sherry Cote told council the town hadn’t had such a board for many years and one of the reasons was it was very expensive to train people to sit on the board. Lamont County is in the process of establishing an Intermunicipal Subdivision and Appeal Board which will encompass all the municipalities in the county. This regional bylaw, said Cote, will be brought before council in the fall. Councillor George Campbell wanted assurances that Bruderheim would still be in control of its own developments if the board was established. Cote explained the board was required by the Municipal Government Act. She said Bruderheim had a board in 2009 and hadn’t since because it was expensive for training and they had not had any appeals. The board’s function is to hear any appeals of
area residents about developments proposed for the community. Under the Intermunicipal Sub-division Appeal Board proposed by Lamont County, Bruderheim would have one seat on the board. Cote said the West Woodlands and the Canadian Rockies Hemp projects both might get appeals from the public so the town had to quickly pass a interim bylaw. In the fall, the County wide bylaw would replace the interim bylaw. Cote said members of the board would be from across Lamont County. The board positions were advertised and people offered to sit on the board and take the necessary municipal training. Cote told Mayor Karl Hauch the commitment of town staff would get the material for the appeal and prepare it for the appeal board. She added there would be a clerk for the board and council was told there were four appeal clerks currently at the County level. Campbell was still leery of the bylaw as it went to third reading. “I feel we may be losing our autonomy,” he said. “I’d like to see more local residents on this type of board.” Hauch said as Bruderheim continued to grow there would proba-
Wildfires cause poor air readings BY JOHN MATHER While the air in Lamont County was good to breathe this spring, the second quarter results from the Fort Air Partnership released recently, show that wildfires in the province in late May and early June did have a detrimental affect on our air quality. The hardest hit area of the monitoring region was Redwater, where air quality soared into the very high risk category on May 30 and 31 with a index reading of 16, a reading 19 times the Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objective. Bruderheim had very high risk readings four times during the quarter and high risk readings 12 times which were all attributed to the wild-
fires in the northern part of the province. Low risk levels were recorded 89 per cent of the time with Lamont County having the highest percentage of low risk readings. During the second quarter 81 hours were recorded in the high risk levels across the Fort Air Partnership network and 29 hours were in the very high risk level.
bly be an “out clause” in the bylaw so the town could opt out of the intermunicipal bylaw and form its own board with nothing but local members on the appeal board. Councillor Len Falardeau said council did have the option of putting a local member
on the board. “I sat on the board back then for 12 years,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of experience on the board.” He admitted he would like to take the courses to sit on the board again. Council passed the interim bylaw in three readings.
Janelle Dziekciarz, of the Bruderheim Minor Sports Association, accepts a cheque from Bruderheim Council on July 17. The money, from Bruderheim’s Community Investment Fund, was for $2,000 to assist with the purchase of rink dividers at the Karol Maschmeyer Arena.

RCMP promoting #9PMRoutine to secure property MAUREEN SULLIVAN Alberta RCMP has been sending nightly notifications on their social media accounts to remind citizens to follow the #9PMRoutine. Supported by police forces across the world, #9PMRoutine encourages people to follow a routine checklist every night to double check their property is locked up and safe. Each month the RCMP focus on a different theme. For the month of July the tips are for the
prevention of property crime. Gail Zaparniuk, a member of the Bruderheim Crime Watch and Chat knows about the initiative, but has been making it a habit to lock up for some time. "It makes logical sense for people to simply make it a personal routine. Too bad many people are unaware of the suggestion, although it seems like common sense to begin with." Depending who you talk to, forming a habit
can take anywhere from 21 to 66 days. This is why Alberta RCMP will be posting every night for two full months. By remembering to lock up and secure your property, you’re helping to create a safer Alberta, says RCMP. Last summer (June to August 2018) there were close to 36,000 propertyrelated incidents in RCMP jurisdiction and almost 50 per cent of all reported bicycle thefts occurred in the summer months according to
RCMP statistics. Here are some ideas to include in your 9 p.m. routine: Turn on outside lights at night; lock your doors; put away toys and bikes in a locked, safe location; put away tools when you’re finished with them; put away outdoor equipment such as lawn mowers and weed trimmers; lock up off-highway vehicles (ATVs, dirt bikes, etc.); double check vehicles are locked and keys are removed.

A chemical spill along the Yellowhead Highway, south of Mundare and west of Vegreville closed the eastbound lanes on July 17, at about 2:30 p.m. The road was re-opened about 24 hours later.
An impromptu concert took place, July 11, at the gazebo in Queens Park in Bruderheim. People came out to listen to the music and sit in the sun.
Canadian citizenship ceremonies at EINP MAUREEN SULLIVAN In front of the picturesque background of Astontin Lake several dozen new Canadians took their oath of citizenship on July 20. They came from different countries and spoke different languages, but they all had a common goal: to become a Canadian Citizen. Individuals, couples and families all took the citizenship oath and proudly sang O' Canada. Dumisule was one of those who is now a Canadian citizen after living in this country for several years. Originally from Swaziland, she said receiving her citizenship certificate was a special moment for her. "I don't have the words," she said. "I am very proud.” Also at the ceremony were dignitaries MLA Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk and Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner. "Becoming a citizen, it's a choice and we thank you for choosing it," said Skinner. The new citizens were encouraged to enjoy the nature around them and to visit the many places in Canada where the natural beauty of the country can be appreciated.
Dumisule was just one of several dozen people to become a Canadian citizen on July 20. The Citizenship Ceremony took place on the shores of Astontin Lake in Elk Island National Park .

12 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, July 24, 2019
Day trips in Lamont County: Historic Ukrainian culture in Mundare MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Town of Mundare is named after the first station master of the town, William Mundare. In 1906 a railroad siding for the Canadian Northern Railway Line at the present site of Mundare was constructed and the town grew around it. A walk through the town will give you an opportunity to see the many murals depicting life in days gone by. Enjoy the work done by local artists and the rich cultural artwork. Mundare is also known for its famous Ukrainian sausage. Situated on Main Street is Stawnichy's Meat Processors, a family business that has prospered for over 60 years. Also in town you can find the Mundare Bowling Alley which has two lanes, located at the Town of Mundare Civic Centre. There is also a splash park and skate-
board park with a quarter pipe, grind rail, three stair, grind bench and curved and banked launches. For those who like to golf, Whitetail Crossing boasts a championship 18 hole course and practice facility on 220 acres of impeccably groomed grounds which serve to challenge the best players while remaining playable by all. In 1910 the Sts' Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church was built, followed by a monastery in the early 1920s and the Golgotha Groto in 1935. The current church was opened in 1968. The Sister Servants built a convent in 1926 and moved their school and orphanage from the farm. The construction of the National Hall on Main Street in 1917 provided a place for hosting a wide variety of cultural and social events. It was replaced in 1925, after a fire
destroyed the original. The current hall was opened in 1964. The Basilian Fathers also operated a first-class Museum. The Basilian Fathers Museum in Mundare has a much longer history than many of Alberta's museums and attracts over 5,000 visitors annually. It began to take form in 1953 and was officially opened in 1957. In 1991, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada, the Basilian Fathers built a beautiful new museum housing a collection of religious and Ukrainian folk artifacts. To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Basilian Fathers' arrival in Canada, a permanent exhibit - Service in the Vineyard of the Lord was prepared. It celebrates the lives of dedicated men and women who served the Lord by serving the Ukrainian

PROFESSIONAL
people in Canada. It tells the stories of the monks, priests, bishops and nuns who devoted their lives to this service. The exhibit outlines the history of the Basilian Order and traces the development of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada from 1902 to the present time. This unique collection of artifacts proudly present the history of the Ukrainian settlement with a large collection of 16th and 17th century liturgical books from Ukraine and attracts over 5,000 visitors annually. Across the road is the "Golgotha Grotto", a shrine and elegant garden built by the Basilian Fathers in 1934 and the Basilian Fathers Monastery. Constructed in 1922 this is the oldest Basilian Monastery in Canada. At its peak it housed over 50 members, while today it is home to over a dozen

Basilian Fathers. The Grotto is a fascinating structure designed so the faithful can visit to pray and meditate privately. A main outdoor altar is occasionally used to cele-
brate mass, with a combination of chaplets, prayer stations and catacombs designed to convey the element of mysticism in Ukrainian Catholic religion. Continued on Page 14

Mundare Continued from Page 12 Construction of the man made hill began in 1932 and took nearly a decade to finish. Meant to resemble Mount Calvary, the Grotto is crowned with a 17 metre cross that lights up the night sky. This amazing shrine normally has a Vidpust-
Pilgrimage celebration around the feast day of Sts Peter and Paul. The pilgrimage has a strong Ukrainian heritage. Settled with the coming of the railroad, Mundare was the missionary base for the Order of St. Basil the Great and Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate. This was the first missionary centre the Ukrainian Catholic Church established in
Canada. Their first home was on a farm about three miles east of Mundare, where the Parkland Conservation Farm is situated today. The Beaver Lake Cairn was unveiled in September 2006 commemorating the Beaver Lake School District which was in operation from 1892-1951. It was one of the first districts between Edmonton and North Battleford.
Two Hills hosts memorial bike rally MAUREEN SULLIVAN The 12 annual "Run to the Hills" Memorial Bike Rally took place this past weekend in Two Hills, Alberta. This rally is the largest of its type in the north east region, in support of the Last Ride Fallen Riders memorial. The memorial ride began as a way to raise money to build a monument for motorcycle riders who have passed away, said Bob Ross one of the organizers of the event. "At first, there was some opposition in town to the rally", he said. “People had that misconception of what it
was all about, too many drive-in movies in the ’70s, they had that whole idea that the outlaws were going to come and tear up the town,” he said. A few years later and no incidents — not even a noise complaint — and attitudes shifted gears as the town began to embrace the cause. The town has since signed a 99-year lease with the rally organizers for a vacant provincial rest stop just outside of town. They’ve also built the monument and raised about $20,000 toward
paving and setting up camping areas. They’ve even enclosed an old cook shack to be used as a chapel for services. “People will be able to stop on a ride and just take a few minutes to reflect and if they want to have a barbecue, if they want to have a service, we have a pastor that’s available,” Ross said. This weekend a wayside monument unveiling revealed a beautifully handcrafted memorial bench, and the sun shone down to support the ride and the numerous family events planned.

A million times I needed you, A million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn’t go alone. For part of me went with you, The day God took you home.
Missing you so much, your loving wife Julie

Food bank shelves getting low, need our help Maureen Sullivan The County of Lamont Food Bank is in need of some donations. During the summer holidays, donations tend to go down at the food bank, but the need remains the same. "As always we are so grateful for all the donors who keep us stocked all year," says Jody Zachoda of the food bank. "In the summer months it gets busy for everyone and we find donations drop in volume and frequency. Our staple items are the first to go such as peanut butter, jam, pork and beans, oatmeal, pasta and pasta sauce,

the work I’ve been doing has been focussed on oil and gas pipelines and fighting bad anti-energy policies such as Bill C48 and C69.” She adds the portfolio also encompasses nuclear, forestry and mining. Stubbs feels there’s increasing confidence in Alberta after electing the pro business UPC government provincially. “The reality is there’s only so much the provincial government can do to restore investor confidence in the province. My deep concern is that restoration of public confidence will show how important the next federal election is.” She points to the Liberals ramming through Bill C69 which will not only impact the oil and gas sector, but municipal and provincial projects. “It interferes in provincial jurisdiction in many different ways. Private sector proponents have been very clear that the bill will make it difficult for any kind of major energy infrastructure to be built or proposed again.” She said with the number of recommendations made by various organizations to amend the legislation, “I thought the Liberals would see these logical improvements to the legislation and would accept them. Nine premiers and the territorial leaders were calling for these changes yet the Liberals pushed it through unchanged.” She said this is a major flawed piece of legislation and the Conservatives, if elected, will probably repeal the bill. Other parties have yet to announce candidates except for the People’s Party of Canada. Alain Houle will carry their banner in the Lakeland riding. The PPC is the party started up by former Conservative Party leadership contender Maxime Bernier. In a release, Houle said he is very concerned with the direction the traditional parties in Canada are heading and he believes the upcoming election “transcends the old left wing - right
