Sun and fun at Lamont Community Fair and Perogy Festival

This parrott took a shining to this petting zoo visitor Saturday afternoon.

Opinion Wildfires costly While it is premature to publicly state the current cost breakdown for the Fort McMurray Wildfire, it will likely be in the billions of dollars once the costs of firefighting, helicopters, air tankers, emergency personnel such as police, ambulance, health care services, etc. are tallied.

Even the Skaro Wildfire will cost in the neighbourhood of $1 million dollars. According to a report submitted to Lamont County council last week, the initial fire bill was below $500,000; but with the contractor work on heavy timber and peat beds, the costs have escalated to just over $1,000,000. The last of the contract work ended on June 8.

According to the report, the origin appears to be at or near burn piles along Township Road 573 and Range Road 190. Even though permits were issued, and followed correctly. According to author Randy Siemens, who is the Lamont County Fire Chief, and Emergency Services Coordinator stated: “To say that the burn piles initial fire started the fire would be an assumption as we encountered four fires started by arson in the area. These four fires were started during the North Skaro fire…”

To think that the Skaro wildfire as well as the Fort McMurray wildfire, although unrelated, could have been preventable is a hard pill to swallow, especially for the victims. Whether the province covers 75 per cent of the costs of the Skaro fire or not, in the end it will be taxpayers who will foot the bill.

The RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance in the investigation into the cause of wildfire MWF-009, which started 15 kilometers southwest of the city of Fort McMurray and led to the evacuation of several communities in the Wood Buffalo region, including Fort McMurray, in early May of this year. The RCMP has been working closely with provincial wildfire investigators to determine the cause of the fire. Wildfire investigators for the province of Alberta have established that the fire was most likely the result of human activity, having ruled out lightening as a probable cause. MWF-009 was first sighted by an airborne forestry crew 15-kilometers southwest of Fort McMurray on May 1st. The role of the RCMP is to determine whether a criminal offence was involved in the ignition of fire MWF-009. To date, police have not made a determination on how the fire was started, but would like to speak with anyone who was in the popular wilderness area known as the Horse River Trail System between April 29, 2016 and May 5, 2016. These people may have information that could assist police and are asked to call the RCMP’s dedicated toll-free wildfire investigation phone line at 1-844-620-9826.

OP-ED: unite the right Uniting the right in Alberta seems to be on the minds of many people in our province, particularly those who voted Wildrose or Conservative in the last election.

Two major groups have been making the rounds in our province trying to convince Albertan’s that there is a way.

The interim Conservative leader seems not to be to interested and the Wildrose leader says it is up to the grassroots.

There is really only one way to unite the P r o g r e s s i v e Conservative party of

Alberta and the Wildrose and win the 2019 election.

The process may be difficult but is very simple. Brian Jean and Ric McIver need to have lunch together and agree to have a meeting with elected MLA’s from both parties. No one else should be in the room except 22 Wildrose and 9 PC MLA’s.

They should agree to form a new party that preferably does not include either Con-servative or Wildrose in its name, as both brands are tarnished. The PC brand from a number of failed leaders since Ralph Klein and the Wildrose from

floor crossing and too many uncalled for comments by some candidates and MLA’S over the years. Having agreed to form a new party and having selected a name these MLA’S need to form a committee to draft an interim constitution and an interim policy position, both of which would go to a general membership meeting for approval and or amendment. This meeting should be held after a permanent leader of the new party is elected late in 2017.

They now need to select from among themselves an interim leader who is committed to not

run for the permanent leadership.

The leadership race should begin in May of 2017 after Rona Ambrose has finished her term as interim leader of the Federal PC’S. Rona Ambrose is the only person in Alberta that can pull all the Conservative and Wildrose voters together and win the next election over Notley and the NDP. Yes it is time for Brian and Ric to have lunch.

Life long learning and friendships formed in the CALC Kitchen Michelle Pinon Editor

The ingredients that make up the recipe for success of the Lamont County Community Adult Learning Council’s (CALC) Kitchen are many and varied, but have all been combined together to make a difference in the loves of participants of the program.

During the final session at the Bruderheim CALC kitchen recently, participants said they have forged new friendships and are more active in the community as a result. “It’s definitely an amazing program for families,” said Dayna Hutchings, a mother of three from Lamont.

Dayna said she has enjoyed making new recipes for her family, and has learned a variety of food and cooking tips.

“These meals helped feed my family,” said participant Nadine Plante, who is very grateful for the opportunity and wonderful experiences she has had over the course of the session. Plante said she will definitely keep in touch with participants and keep preparing some of the recipes at home that she made in the program.

CALC Director Debbie Holland said, “There are

a number of essential skills that can be learned in our CALC Kitchen.

Participants are communicating with each other, making decisions to switch out one ingredient for another that is either less expensive or more nutritional, enhancing numeracy skills through budgeting, and increasing the quantities of the ingredients. From a less quantifiable perspective we see behavioural and, in some cases, life changing outcomes.”

Holland went on to say, “People living in isolation connect with others, respect for the likes and dislikes of all participants are accommodated which fosters teamwork and friendships are formed. We, as program deliverers bear witness to increased confidence in one’s ability to learn new and practical skills.

It is wonderful to watch people blossom before our very eyes. Our hope is, at the end of the program, is for our registrants to do in their own homes what they have learned in the CALC Kitchen.”

The CALC Kitchen was launched in 2015, and initially started in Lamont that February, and offered it in Bruderheim in May and June of last year. Holland said they will continue to

operate the CALC Kitchen in both Lamont and Bruderheim once a month, with the exception of July, August, and December. “We ran 10 CALC Kitchens in 2015.

This year we have already run nine kitchens, and anticipate running six more in the fall. Since inception, our total registration has reached 80 people with 320 meals having been taken home, and roughly 200 mouths fed.”

The CALC Kitchen is a referral based program.

Agencies and specific community based representatives makes referrals. “In my role as director, I pre-qualify the referrals and ultimately extend an invitation asking someone to participate. There is modest fee of $5 per meal, and CALC as well as its financial supporters kick in the rest. Holland said it’s the many supporters that make the CALC Kitchen, along with it’s other programs possible.

She also credited CALC volunteer board members for their dedication and commitment. Over my 10-and-a-half years in this job, Holland said the volunteer board have donated a combined total of 3,152 personal hours, and supporting their belief that lifelong learning is the foundation of a life well lived.

Gov’t makes economic diversification a priority Michelle Pinon Editor

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood says we are experiencing extreme weather events, and that is one of the reasons the NDP government is making sustainability in agriculture a priority.

Most recent proof of that was the provincial government’s $10 million capital investment at Agriculture and Forestry’s Agrivalue Processing Business Incubator and Food Processing Development Centre in Leduc, adding 2,350 square metres of business incubation and development.

During the announcement on June 14, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier,

stated: “Alberta’s primary agricultural producers grow some of the highest quality products in the world, and our food processing industry has tremendous potential for growth, complementing our thriving agriculture industry.

That’s why we are investing in this expansion, to help our industry grow and to diversify our provincial economy by creating new valueadded products for sale in Alberta, across the country, and around the world.”

Economic Development and Trade Minister Deron Bilous added, “Our agri-food entrepreneurs employ tens of thousands of Alberta workers and every year the Food Processing Development Centre

helps as many as 100 new and existing businesses grow and succeed. Expanding this facility means more jobs and a more diversified economy that builds on our strengths. This is the Alberta Jobs Plan in action.”

Littlewood echoed those comments, and noted that given the aging population of

Fort Sask-Veg. MLA Jessica Littlewood

farmers in Alberta, it will be a huge challenge to address, but that the province is going to make it more feasible for younger families start up their own agri business.

Another way is to diversify the economy, and pointed to the carbon levy and rebates, and that it is part of the legislation that farm fuel remain as an exemption.

She added that cutting business tax by two per cent was another measure, along with other energy efficient options and grant programs, that are now available. There was also the recent introduction of the innovation tax credit that will support local entrepreneurship beginning in 2017.

Another aspect of the plan is for families and

Carbon tax kills jobs, say MP’s Ottawa, ON – Official Opposition Deputy Critic for Workforce, Employment and Labour and Member of Parliament for Foothills, John Barlow, and Lakeland MP and Deputy Critic for Natural Resources, Shannon Stubbs, expressed their disappointment with the Liberal government’s delays on critical decisions, while they continue to push a job killing carbon tax.

The two Alberta MP’s issued a joint press release on June 16th stating: “Alberta lost another 24,000 jobs in May, increasing the unemployment rate to 7.9% the highest it has been in 20 years. Now, when the industry needs support, while people are losing their jobs and businesses are failing, the Liberal government’s solution is to introduce a carbon tax.”

The Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna has said “it is time for the Conservatives to get with the program,” but Conservatives do not support initiatives that hurt businesses and Canadian families. We certainly will not rubber stamp programs that have not even been

introduced, just to placate Liberal Ministers.

“It seems like every decision that the Liberal government makes is costing Albertans their jobs,” said MP Barlow. “Now is not the time to raise taxes on Canadian families and job creating businesses. In provinces which have already imposed carbon taxes, this will be a tax on a tax, imposing even more of a burden on families and businesses. We need the Liberals to start making decisions on critical infrastructure projects and defending Canada’s worldrenowned regulatory regime, which will spark investor confidence in our energy sector.”

MP Stubbs added, “While the Liberal government dreams up ways to impose new taxes, Conservatives will continue to fight to keep taxes low for all hardworking Canadians. The Liberal government needs to explain why, at this time of economic uncertainty and high unemployment; they think it is the time to impose a carbon tax - a tax which increases the cost of everything - on Canadians.”

businesses to reduce consumption of natural gas, as well as gasoline. Some of the ways Albertans can decrease their energy use and gasoline consumption is by turning down the heat when no one is home, installing smart thermostats, choosing more fuel effi-

cient cars, using public transit, walking, biking, or taking advantage of coming energy efficiency programs.

It is estimated that six out of 10 household that will receive a rebate next year will cover the average cost of the carbon levy Albertans pay.

Team Canada fun celebrity game a highlight during Bruderheim’s annual Meteorite Cup

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

The second annual Meteorite Cup in Bruderheim was a great success once again. Despite the inclement weather, the street hockey games were held in the arena, with eight local teams competing for the title. A celebrity fun game between local youth, (12 and under), against members of the Maschmeyer clan, and other hockey notables, was a highlight for many who participated in the fun-filled event.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Inclement weather didn’t dampen the spirits or deter local athletes from having a great time at the second annual street hockey tournament in Bruderheim on Saturday, June 11.

A total of eight teams competed for the Meteorite Cup with the Super Heroes In Training coming out on top. The Young Puckers landed in last place but in the end the standings really didn’t matter as players and fans alike helped raise $3,000 for a new skateboard park in the community.

Hatrick Sawyze, a team that was composed of several local teachers, had a great time. One of the teachers, Bryan Dussault said, “Overall,

the event was a lot of fun, and it had a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere most of the games. There was a lot of talent in some of the younger teams which made for some excellent games for us. It was great to see current and former students at the tournament, and to play against them ourselves.”

Dussault went on to say, “Mayor Karl Hauch and some of the council members were referring the games as well as chatting with players as the event played out, helping to keep the environment very friendly and welcoming. It was nice to see them supporting the community and helping out with the event.”

Hauch had high praise for participants, supporters, and organizers who

helped make the tournament such a success. He also wanted to give a loud shout out to town staff, especially Judy Koschade, for putting on such a wonderful event, and all of the fabulous volunteers who made the venture run like clockwork.

Hauch went on to say, “We are blessed with great support from all levels of government, our municipal partners, provincial and federal, and especially the business and industry in and around our area that are key partners for the betterment of our community.”

A unique aspect of the event was a fun game with celebrity athletes.

The special guests included: Emerance Maschmeyer and Genevieve Lacasse, goalies with the Canadian National Women’s Team; Brittaney Maschmeyer, a member of Hockey Canada’s under 22 squad; Bronson Maschmeyer, Bremerhaven team; Brock Maschmeyer, Northern Michigan University team; Seyara Shwetz, Saint Mary’s University team, and Kanesa Shwetz, University of Alberta Pandas.

“The players all had a good time,” said Judy Koschade, Director of Community Relations,

with the Town of Bruderheim. “The kids were so excited, and the celebrities were such good sports.” There were also a lot of people who came out to get auto-

graphs from the celebrities.

“We had great support from local sponsors once again,” added Koschade.

“Hopefully, it (Meteorite Cup) will become our

signature event.”

Whether or not that plays out, the Meteorite Cup has had a distinct impact in the community.

Heartland 101: Scientific monitoring stations track air quality for residents throughout the region They measure concentrations of sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide.

Samples are collected and analyzed each month to determine trends over time.

Nine continuous monitoring stations measure different types of substances around the clock and report results in near real time. These stations are comprised of complex sets of instruments and equipment housed in skid-shack trailers.

Each station measures specific substances, which are reported to provincial and federal governments and available to the public at www.fortair.org. They also measure atmospheric conditions such as temperature, wind speed, and barometric pressure.

Data from five of the stations (Bruderheim, Fort Saskatchewan, Gibbons, Lamont County and Elk Island National Park) are used by the Government of Alberta to calculate the Air Quality Health Index which can be found at

The tears in our eyes can be wiped away But the ache in our hearts will alway stay Our time with you was “Special” Our love “Devine”.

We will “always love you” One day if it is “God’s Will” We will be together again.

This index helps people understand what the local outside air quality means to health using a scale from 1 to 10: the lower the number, the lower the health risk.

The newest continuous

monitoring station began operating in February in Gibbons. It adds a valuable set of data for tracking and reporting air quality in the Heartland.

A public grand opening was held on Thursday, June 16 at the

station, located behind the Gibbons Town Office. A short ceremony and ribbon cutting were held along with tours of the facility..

SUBMITTED ARTICLE Air quality is considered the most important topic to the local community, according to a 2015 Life in the Heartland survey. As such, residents are keen to know how the region’s air quality is monitored.

Local organization Fort Air Partnership monitors and collects air quality data 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This is done using a combination of continuous monitoring stations and passive monitors throughout the Heartland and surrounding area.

Passive samplers are a simple, inexpensive way of tracking concentration levels on a monthly basis. The monitors don’t require power because they absorb air rather than draw air in. They look like a white plastic cylinder shaped dome about the size of a soccer ball on top of a waisthigh post.

Fifty-seven passive monitors are placed throughout the Fort Air Partnership airshed.

From Where I Sit: What We Eat

By Hazel Anaka What we eat is a complicated matter. On any given day it’s likely determined by some stew consisting of money, time, and effort.

Because the ingredients are interconnected it’s impossible to see where one begins and the other ends.

Money may determine if we eat out or prepare something at home. It will affect whether we get our protein from filet mignon or sardines. It may steer our decision to plant a garden or sub-

scribe to a weekly food box delivery service.

Time and effort are the other side of the money coin. Planting that garden or preparing meals all take time and sweat equity. If you are a wannabe-chef or love the feel of soil in your hands time spent handling food will be a joy not a dreaded chore.

Once you know what you can and will do the next big thing is choosing what to consume.

Will it be organic produce or yellow-dyed factory food? Will it be poached eggs on toast or an Egg McMuffin to start the day? Would your grandmother recognize what you’re eating? Are your meals worthy of Master Chef Canada?

Their own Instagram account?

Trying to interpret the research about what is best is a losing battle.

Ultimately, many of us just want to know if the food we’re eating is mak-

ing us sick or adding years to our lives. I used to believe the hype from Dr. Oz and others about the latest, greatest, new miracle food.

A visit to a naturopath helped me articulate what I already knew from having a daughter with life-threatening food allergies. Fact: no food is inherently good or bad. The only thing that matters is how it affects Hazel or Hilary or you. Salmon is touted as miracle food. Unless, of course, you’re allergic to fish and die when you eat it.

The big new health threat is inflammation.

Characterized by swelling and pain, it causes or exacerbates ‘itis’ conditions: arthritis, gastritis, colitis, dermatitis, nephritis, neuritis, and cystitis Inflammation plays a role in heart disease, cancer, obesity, dementia, migraines, Alzheimer’s disease, and virtually all

Street Performers Festival returning to Mundare Lisa Euchuk with the Town of Mundare is very excited about the event, and said there will be four perBecause of the glowing response formers coming from the Edmonton from visitors and residents, the Town International Street Performers Festival of Mundare will once again be hosting to entertain the Canada Day revellers.

“We also have local venders set up to a Street Performers Festival in sell their wares, a glitter tattoo artist, Mundare on Friday, July 1st.

Those venders singing, and of course, there will be the include: the Mundare Bakery, Bob’s Mini Donuts, Vat Ice Cream truck, and street performers. the Pink Ta f f e t a Eatery.

auto-immune diseases.

Throw in asthma, diabetes, psoriasis, other skin disorders, and irritable bowel syndrome.

The cost to the health care system and us is huge.

My new naturopath suggested we do a simple finger prick blood test to determine if I have any IgG (delayed reaction) sensitivity to a panel of 120 foods. Now my days will be consumed with figuring out how to live with elevated results for dairy, egg whites, corn, brewer’s yeast, Brazil nuts, red kidney beans, and barley.

I’m only beginning to understand the implications. The advice has been to concentrate on substitutions and how much better I’ll feel, not the deprivation.

Purging the pantry, reading labels, and finding new recipes from the ‘caveman’ diet are my new hobby. Like I said, what we eat is complicated from where I sit.

Detecting and eliminating some of these items is simple and straightforward. Others are hidden in most processed foods. Others, like eggs and yogurt, are ‘healthy’ choices.

Harry Pacholek April 6, 1932 – June 26, 2013 If I could have just one moment with my Dad again I’m not sure I could take it or withstand the pain.

You See, a moment is not long enough and I don’t think I would survive losing my Dad a second time if he didn’t stay alive.

My heart it whimpers badly at the thought that he is gone But that is where I got my strength from my Dad, to live on.

I know that there will come a day When life is done for me That I will return to the place ays… ou alw Carl, where my Dad will be. issing y ie, ~ Toni Kane

Keeping things fresh and fun during 2016 festival launch Michelle Pinon Editor

If the official Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival media launch, held on Thursday, June 16, is any indication of what’s in store during this year’s installment, then folks are in for a real treat.

It’s no secret that the festival, which celebrates all things Ukrainian, will offer great hospitality, world class entertainment, and fabulous cuisine; but there are several new additions to the line up of events that will stimulate all your senses, and offer a bit of something for everyone. So make sure you circle August 20 and 21 on your calendar.

As far as cultural enrichment, why not roll up your sleeves and help make a traditional pich, (outdoor oven), at 10:30 a.m. outside of the community hall Saturday morning. If you’d rather try Ukrainian dancing then head inside the hall for Ukrainian dance lessons at 11 a.m. Sky Hoffos will be leading a leatherwork make and take event for the crafty types, and folks can watch a pysanka demonstration throughout the day.

Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the outdoor music jam from 11-6 p.m. The beer gardens will also be open where you can sample the festival’s signature drink Na Zdorovlia, special and secret concoction that was developed by local resident Pat Skoreyko. At 1 and 3 p.m. you can also sample moonshine that has been developed by Red Cup Distillery

owner Rob de Groot, who will share his indepth knowledge and expertise. At 1:30 p.m. you can take in a special presentation by Calgary author Pam Clark, (nee Kuryluk) about her novel Kalyna.

One of the busiest venues will be Baba’s Bazaar, adjacent to the main hall, where it will be jam packed with vendors selling everything from fresh produce to crafts, clothing, and so much more. The number of kids activities have also increased this year to include a Lego display, adjacent to Baba’s Bazaar. There will be Bouncy Boyz Inflatables outside and the who family can take part in Kurka Kapers as well as a different kind of ball game. There will also be traditional Ukrainian games for all to enjoy.

There will be a shuttle service for festival goers who want to visit the museum, church and grain elevator where the vocal trio of Zemlia will be telling history through son at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. respectively.

The hall will close at 3 p.m., and re-open at 6 p.m. for Zabava where you can enjoy the finest in Ukrainian cuisine, that will be made by culinary experts from St. John’s Institute. The banquet will be followed by the best Ukrainian dancers from Verhovyna Ensemble, consisting of the Dunai Dancers and the Verkhovyna Choir.

Later on in the evening enjoy dancing up a storm with the polka nation with Trembita.

Day 2 will also be jam packed with special per-

Make sure to sample the best potato pancakes at the Lions Den, located on main street. A Divine Liturgy will be held from 10 am to 12 Noon at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. There’s no doubt the main hall will be the place to be to cheer on the Chudovyi Ukrainian Dancers at 12:15 p.m., perogy lunch, and of course, the ever popular Borshch cookoff at 1 p.m.

Tied in with the event will be special recognition of the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian immigration. Iwan Pylypow began what would become five major waves of immigration. The 25th anniversary Ukraine’s Independence will also be recognized during the festival.

Of course one of the most popular attractions at the two day event is festival ambassador Baba Magda. The charismatic and comedic Baba Magda will be posing for photos and signing autographs for attendees

Even though there was some discussion of the festival moving around to different communities, Festival Co-ordinator Hazel Anaka, confirmed

Mundare Mayor and musician Charlie Gargus will host the ever popular Outdoor Music Jam. about her Ukrainian roots. “I wanted to find out more about where I came from and where ’ve

that the event will continue to be held in the Village of Andrew. Both Andrew Mayor Heather

Tait, and Pat Skoreyko, who serves as the chief administrative officer for the village, are thrilled to help out in any way they can.

The event, that was spearheaded by Lamont County, is a great initiative.

Reeve Wayne Woldanski said it has brought people into Andrew and has supported other surrounding communities as visitors travel to and from the venue. More importantly, it has enriched the Ukrainian culture, and attracted tourists from both inside and outside of the province.

For Anaka, the phone started ringing on a constant basis last month, and no doubt there will be a deluge of telephone and email inquiries in the months to come.

Work is constantly being done behind the scenes, and volunteers, like Anaka, will be putting in very full days in the months to come.
