Canada Day fireworks, camping a go for Mundare BY JOHN MATHER Mundare Council heard from Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla on Mar. 16 at their regular meeting, that the town had been approved for a $1,250 grant for Canada Day activities. “With Covid, I don’t know if we want to plan for Canada Day and then cancel it, or what do you want to do?,” he wondered. He said he had gone ahead and arranged for the purchase of fireworks so there would be a fireworks display on the Canada Day evening. “If we go ahead and book some entertainment and then either we cancel it or they can’t perform because of restrictions we may lose our deposit,” he said. “I think maybe just have the fireworks.” Councillor Jason Kowal said he was 100 per cent in favour of going ahead with the fireworks but wondered what alternatives may be available for entertainment. “Maybe we could have some things open up and just do some local things on the main street. Maybe someone could set up a stereo and blast some tunes. Rent a DJ.” Mayor Mike Saric said some local businesses might want to open and put on some festivities and if a DJ could be found that could work out well. Councillor Irene Talaga suggested if council was to keep the day local they could hold off making a decision on what to proceed with until the May council meeting, which would still give them time to finalize some events. Kowal asked how much had been spent on the fireworks and Zyla replied it was $2,500. “We could reach out to our neighbours and see what they are planning and maybe we could get together and do some events together. It could be an opportunity to showcase some of our local activities amongst ourselves.” Another suggestion was to invite people to decorate their homes and turn it into a contest. A motion was passed to bring it back to a future meeting. Zyla also sought council advice on what to do with Ukrainia Park this summer. He has had requests for camping for wedding events, and another person has come forward to put on a ball tournament. Continued on Page 2

Blackout Mundare fades to black when power line knocked down Esso sign and it received some scorch marks.” Dales said fire department personnel responded to the incident, but it was quickly brought under control by ATCO employees who cut power on the downed line to make the area safe. “We did have to close the entrance into the Esso and traffic had to be rerouted.” One lane of Highway
BY JOHN MATHER Half of Mundare was hit by a power outage Mar. 17, when a truck hauling an oversized load, on Highway 855 knocked out a live power pole. “We were fortunate in that it was on the east side of the highway and fell across the land and not across the highway,” said Mundare Fire Chief, Glenda Dales. “Some of the wires did touch the
855 was kept open for heavy trucks and smaller vehicles were rerouted down Mundare’s main street and then across 53 Ave. past the water fill station to 855. Dales said the power at the firehall was affected by the blackout and the doors to the hall had to be opened manually. “It’s just a pull chain and it just takes a little longer to open the doors.”
Mundare events planning Continued from front “One fellow has come forward saying he would like to host a mini ball tournament once a month from June to Aug,” said Zyla. “He wants to book so he’s got the park. We normally have five ball tournaments during the summer. We also have the long weekend booked in August for a reunion.” He said it all really depends on camping but he thinks the province will lift restrictions enough to allow camping. “I think I would like to open the park up,” he said. “The park incurs annual costs of about $29,000 but can have revenues of up to $19,000 like we did in 2019.” He felt the park could open safely and keep campers separated by a distance of six feet. Last year camping was restricted to motorhomes and self contained trail-
ers. Zyla did say he had concerns about the public washrooms, but he felt they could be regularly cleaned and sanitized. If they hosted ball tournaments and reunions, the public washrooms would have to be open, he said. Kowal felt they could open the park for camping and even promote the facility through the Whitetail Golf Course.
Saric suggested “staycations” were the thing and after last summer people would be anxious to get away this summer. When asked if the concession could be opened, Zyla said he didn’t see any problem with that because it would be very similar to a restaurant offering take out service. Kowal made a motion to open the campground which was carried by council.

The St. Bonaventure Catholic Church in Chipman was finally demolished last week. By Mar. 21, all that remained of the more than 100-year-old church was this pile of rubble.
Mundare’s Basilian Fathers Museum to have history day BY JOHN MATHER Mundare Council received a letter from the Basilian Fathers Museum stating they were going to host a Hands on History Day later this year. “They want to hold it on Sept. 11 to mark the 130th Anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada,” Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla reported Mar. 16. “In addition it would mark the 30th anniversary of the Museum.” “They want us to collaborate with them. And they want to have Sawchuk Summer Kitchen on the property.” He said they wanted people to come out and help saw some logs and mud the walls and get a hands-on experience. “They’re asking for our support,” he said. “Well, I don’t think we’d turn that one down,” stated Mayor Mike Saric. Councillor Jason Kowal felt it was a great idea but suggested the Fathers make sure all Covid 19 precautions were undertaken by the people attending. Council agreed and passed a motion to support the event.
Two Hills RCMP nab suspect driver Another GDL driver suspended for drinking and driving On March 18, RCMP were on patrol in Andrew and pulled over a car. The driver was found to be on a Graduated Driver's Licence (which includes a restriction to have no alcohol in his blood).
A roadside test of the driver confirmed that he had alcohol in his blood and the result was confirmed through a second test. The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days while the
driver has been suspended from driving for 30 days. He will also receive a $200 fine plus a victim surcharge. Two Hills RCMP urge residents to please don't drink and drive, it isn't worth it.

Opinion A week of oil silliness on both sides of border
BY JOHN MATHER Well last week was a strange week in Canadian politics and North American politics. And what was the source of this strangeness… oil sands. Let’s venture down south where 21 state governors lead by Texas and Montana are suing President Joe Biden for his arbitrary cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden puts his X on its cancellation papers the first day he found his way into the oval office. The suit alleges Biden, as president, doesn’t have the unilateral authority to change energy policy that has been set by the U.S. Congress. In putting forth the suit, Texas Attorney General stated that in addition to trying to undo anything done by the previous Trump administration, “his decision to revoke the pipeline permit is not only unlawful but will also devastate the livelihoods of thousands of workers, their families and their communities.” Now Texas would benefit from the pipeline as would Montana. But not all of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming do, so there is obvious concern about the president interfering within states’ jurisdiction. And in Ottawa nary a peep in support for the project from the governing Liberals. But in a most strange twist, suddenly MPs from the west, Central Canada and the east are agreeing on the need for the uninterrupted flow of oil from the West to Sarnia, Ont. That would be support against Michigan governor Gretchen Witmer’s desire to shut down the Enbridge line 5 which travels under the Straits of Mackinac over concerns of a potential for an oil spill into the Great Lakes. This despite the line operating safely for more than 60 years. Of course for the brain trusts that pass for MPs in Ottawa these days, this is hypocrisy at its best. Of course MPs from Ottawa and Quebec want this line kept open. Without it they have no supply of oil or natural gas. This has nothing to do with supporting the main industry of two Western Canadian provinces, which is why Western MPs want the line to remain open. Canada’s Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan has emphatically boasted “the operation of Line 5 is nonnegotiable.” On the international stage, I somehow doubt O’Regan and his Liberal cohorts have much of an audience. Maybe he can find some U.S, governors to take up the fight for him. Continued
CONTINUED Legislators from Ontario and the mayor of Sarnia are stating the closure of the pipeline could cost up to 5,000 direct jobs on this side of the border along with an additional 25,000 indirect jobs. Plains Midstream, a shipper with operations in our Industrial Heartland has a plant in Sarnia that produces 1.2 billion gallons of propane and butane annually and about 200 million of that is shipped to Michigan. Plains Midstream warned Michigan in December shutting the line would result in the shutdown of its Sarnia plant as well as its facilities in the U.S. state resulting in the loss of 125 jobs on both sides of the border. And on the U.S. side of the border 15 congressional members from several states have warned Biden about the impact of closing the line. But Biden’s newest best buddy is Gretchen Witmer because she delivered the statewide vote in Michigan to his presidency. She is held in
such high esteem she was given the nod to head up his inauguration committee. Fat chance he’ll interfere with her. And that paragon of aging actresses looking for relevance in a world geared towards youth, Jane Fonda let her tongue out for a romp against Enbridge’s Line 3 which carries oil from Alberta through Minnesota to Superior, Wisconsin where some of it no doubt ends up in Line 5. That pipeline is slowly being replaced to ensure it doesn’t have any accidents and do damage to the environment. But rickety Jane doesn’t see it that way. In fact she said she was driving down a highway when she stopped to “see the impacts of the nearly 1 million barrels of tar sands per day being brought from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin by Enbridge, a Canadian pipeline company responsible for the largest inland oil spill in the U.S.” And yes, Line 3 did have a spill but in Michigan not in
Minnesota and the new pipeline will eliminate fears of another spill as technology for both materials and construction methods would make the replacement line much safer. What the story didn’t mention was what kind of vehicle she was in… gas, diesel or electric? And since she lives in California, it didn’t mention whether she was exhausted after a long walk across the country or had she conveniently flown in a private jet to get to the site where she could yap off. Hypocrite, not a knowledgeable activist! In Alberta, president and CEO of the Indian Resource Council of Canada, Stephen Buffalo invited Jane to join him and his indigenous colleagues on a Zoom call to show her how the oil and gas industry supports indigenous workers and how they also insist that while developing pipelines and the industry they also demand the environment be protected. No word on whether Jane has accepted the invitation.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Wouldn’t Be Wise
BY HAZEL ANAKA Last Friday Roy and I headed to Edmonton for our Covid-19 vaccinations. We got to the Shoppers Drug Mart in Jasper Place in good time and filled out the consent form. Because Hilary had booked our appointments she had certain demands---much like the service fee Ticketmaster charges for reserving concert tickets. She insisted we take pictures of each other getting the vaccine and then a selfie when it was done. I think she was shocked when we actually complied. The moment was now immortalized in the cloud and could be texted to our peeps in
Colorado. Whenever I saw someone being vaccinated on TV, I always noticed a grimace as the needle entered flesh. Who knows, maybe I did it too. But there is surely no reason. I’ve certainly had more painful injections. In a breeze, it was over. We had gotten the Pfizer vaccine and no, they didn’t know when we could book the next one. It would be supply and distribution dependent and based on the government’s timetable. While the pharmacist didn’t give any info about when effectiveness actually begins, we know that mask wearing continues and protection is about two or three weeks away. We meandered around the drugstore for fifteen minutes and managed to find a few things we couldn’t live without. I felt a slight headache but my head always seems first to react to
anything. I also don’t know if it was because I hadn’t had my normal one cup of coffee that morning or because I was dehydrated. Either way, no adverse symptoms to the shot so far. The sun was shining, the temperature was hovering around 11 or 12 degrees, I hadn’t overdressed so I wasn’t overheating. Life was good and all seemed right with the world. It was simply a baby step back towards normalcy but I felt hopeful. A biting March wind on an overcast day might have yielded a different response. As we drove around Edmonton, I couldn’t help but notice the empty storefronts and For Lease signs dotting the landscape, so normal is relative. The traffic was considerably heavier than it was the last time I was in the city. No one likes traffic and the

Albertans have said they want to continue to have the ability to hold meetings virtually and this Bill will provide groups and organizations with that flexibility. This legislation would make it easier for corporations, associations and non-profit groups in Alberta to have meetings, by updating the rules to provide meeting notices, conduct meetings, and vote on decisions electronically. We aren’t forcing organizations to change the way they do business; but we are creating more options for improved efficiency in the digital economy. It just makes sense to allow more electronic convenience and flexibility for corporate groups operating in the digital age.

annoyances it brings, but it was unsettling to see empty streets. Where was everyone? Traffic felt like people once again, had places to go, people to see. And it was nice. I was feeling so good, we actually entered a restaurant to sit down and eat. Something we hadn’t done for a year. There was no one seated within probably twelve or fifteen feet of us. I’m still having trouble swallowing following last March’s surgery despite having my esophagus dilated with a balloon
attached to a scope in December. So, Friday was also the first time I got to vomit in a restaurant bathroom. Another milestone for the day and one I could have lived without. We hit a few of our favourite stops and headed to Hilary’s to drop off some things for her. Because of her current communications contract which has now been extended by six months, she is on top of Covid-19 news, developments, plans. My hopeful mood dipped slightly when she said Alberta
cases were rising and the variants were becoming a concern. Throwing caution to the wind after the vaccine was never the plan. This news serves as another wake-up call that we’re in uncharted territory and the road back is still long and treacherous with steep inclines and switchbacks. We can’t falter now no matter how sunny and hopeful we feel with the vaccine in our arms, with spring (almost) here, with pandemic fatigue peaking. That wouldn’t be wise, from where I sit.

Letter to the editor Group sends “shame rocks” to MLA On March 17, a group of eight concerned citizens gathered with mask and distance at their MLA’s office in Fort Saskatchewan to give Shame Rocks for St. Patrick’s Day to Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk. Each person was frustrated by ongoing actions of our MLA, Jason Kenney and the UCP that benefit private interest - with public money. The purpose of this citizen action is to remind Jackie and all elected officials that they are public servants - their job is to act in the public interest. These are the messages on the Shame Rocks that were taped to the MLA’s entrance door: To: Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk – A Shame Rock for You on St. Patrick’s Day • SHAME on Your Education Cuts • SHAME! Failure to Create Jobs • SHAME! Failed Response to COVID • SHAME! Lying About Healthcare Cuts • SHAME! Wasteful Spending -Energy War Room - Failed Keystone Pipelines.

Virtual open house to be held for Highway 15 upgrade plans BY JOHN MATHER Residents living along Highway 15 corridor from Highway 830 (Vinca Bridge Road) to Highway 834 near Chipman will be able to have their say on Highway redevelopment during a series of virtual open houses to be held Mar. 25 to early April. Signs have been placed along Highway 15 outside the Town of Lamont and Village of Chipman to provide information regarding how to sign in to the virtual open house. “The redevelopment is in two parts,” said Paul Steele, transportation planning lead for Western Canada, of Tetra Tech Canada. “We’re looking at twinning the road from Vinca Bridge Road to Highway 29 and then widening the highway from Lamont out to Chipman to accommodate oversized loads.”
He said the open houses will show the initial ideas for the development and get feedback from residents. He said the future twinning of Highway from the Scotford turnoff to the Vinca Bridge Road isn’t included in this
design process because it has been studied by Strathcona County and Alberta Transportation in 2016. “That information is actually available on the Strathcona County website,” said Steele. “We’re looking at the next phase
of development along this corridor.” He said there is no timeline for any work to be done on the highway. “It’s not in any current capital plan at this time,” he said. He said the open house is the first phase to
provide a recommendation that could lead to detailed design work down the road. The open house will provide background information to explain why they are looking at the redesign, Steele added, and then there

Steele said while his company has done some components of an online open house before, something this comprehensive will be new to his company. He said there will be an online comments sheet and a couple of live events where a background presentation will be made and then participants can take part in a live question and answer session.

Mundare council receives offer for vacant lot BY JOHN MATHER Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla reported to Mundare Council Mar. 16, an offer had been received to purchase the vacant lot at 5108 50 St, between the Servus Credit Union and the Laundromat. “The offer is for $5,000 and this is a tax recovery property,” Zyla said. “It’s been town-owned since 2017 and the outstanding taxes are $17,345. Under the Municipal Government Act we have to sell the property for as close to market value as possible. It was
appraised last October for $5,000.” He said the property was not under the town’s dollar a lot program. He added there was an old garage at the back of the property. Zyla recommended the property be sold for the $5,000 offer and upon completion of the sale the outstanding property taxes be cancelled. Councillor Irene Talaga said she would like to see a timeline for putting a building on the lot. “Once it’s sold I don’t want to see it sitting vacant for any
In Bruderheim clean up after your dog Large fines for sloppy canine owners BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim Councillor Pat Lee brought forward a resident’s concern during the Mar. 17 council meeting regarding the picking up of dog droppings by their owners. “A concern by a resident was brought up to me. Do we have a bylaw regarding the picking up of dog droppings?” she asked. Bruderheim Director of Legislative Services Sherry Cote confirmed that a town bylaw does exist. “Actually, that is covered in our Community Standards bylaw,” she said. “There is a section in there that says you have to clean up after your dog.” Cote went on to explain what to do when the offence is observed. “So, if you actually see somebody, and you know who it is, then we can follow up. Often people call in but they have no clue who it is so how can we follow up?” she said. Lee asked for clarification that it would be up to a resident to report the incident and then asked what steps the town office would take. “Then we would follow up with that resident if we know that they have the dog and that situation has occurred and remind them of the bylaw and that there is a
fine attached,” she said. According to the Community Standards Bylaw, the fine for a first offence can range from $100 - $200 and a second offence between $150 and $250.
length of time.” Zyla said it couldn’t be done because it is a tax recovery property. When Councillor Jason Kowal asked when it was taken over and Zyla said 2017. “My concern is I’d hate to see someone buying the property for $5,000 and then turning around and selling it for more,” he said. Zyla said he really doubted any timeline for building could be put on the sale because it was just a regular property sale. Talaga said she would like to see some more investigation into this because she really didn’t want to see it vacant. Councillor Frank Rosypal pointed out by selling it the town would be able to collect taxes on it again which would be a benefit for the community. Mayor Mike Saric felt the town should sell it since “the economy isn’t really booming.” He agreed taxes would be
collected on it. Agreeing that there wasn’t a crowd looking to purchase the lot, council decided to instruct Zyla to see if more information could be found on whether they could put building timelines in as a condition of the sale. A motion to that affect was passed. Public Works Director David MacDonald gave council an update on what his department had been doing around the community. Beginning with telling council the Christmas lights had been taken down, he added much of the town’s snow windrows had been cleared away to prevent any spring flooding. “Hopefully we don’t get any more snow,” he said. “But you never know, we may. We have also removed about 30 loads of snow from Ukrainia Park. I just want to see if that helps ease spring flooding in that area and I think it
will.” In addition to the snow removal, he added public works employees had been opening up the catch basins throughout town to aid in getting rid of surface water from snow melt. With the nice weather, the floors on the washrooms at Victory Park were ready to be painted and in the shop, equipment was being prepared for the spring. He told council pot hole repairs had also started in the community. Mayor Mike Saric asked how the equipment getting prepared for the spring was holding up. MacDonald said most of it was in good shape but he was getting prices on a riding tractor which he feels would really benefit the community. “We could really use it,” he said. “It’s a tractor with a drive-over mower and a tiny little utility bucket on the front.
“It also has a threepoint hitch so if we needed a tiller for the ball fields we could purchase one and we could use it to drag the ball diamonds.” He said he felt it would be more useful than several of the units they have now. He said it was very versatile and with a small cab and heated, a rotary brush could be put on it for snow removal and it could be used in all seasons. “And it’s cheaper than some of the other units out there,” he added. “With the front end bucket we could move topsoil around the ball diamonds and I feel if we have ball diamonds then they should be nice ball diamonds.” He added this was just his opinion, but Saric said his opinion was very important. The public works report was then accepted as information.

New restaurant planned for Bruderheim’s sea can hotel BY JANA SEMENIUK A change in leadership is breathing new life into Bruderheim’s Studio 6 hotel. The four-year old establishment, built almost entirely out of sea cans, will see the opening of a new restaurant and lounge within its walls in the next few weeks. Noel Marcelo, Director of Hotel Operations, has been in charge of the hotel, with the hotel’s general manager Keerthi Suranga, for the past three months. Marcelo said the pandemic has hit the hotel hard. “We’ve gone through some staff because of covid, and occupancy has been low,” he said. “But things seem to be picking up and we are seeing the occupancy start to increase.” Marcelo said he is excited about the hotel’s
future. “This hotel has so much to offer,” he said. “And now with the new kitchen there will be even more.” Marcelo added that the restaurant will be serving a small variety of meals. “Mostly grab and go breakfasts,” he said. “And when people get off work, they can come in for a drink and some appetizers too.” Bruderheim’s Studio 6 hotel first made headlines during its construction in 2016. Made almost entirely out of sea cans, it was the largest structure of its kind in North America at the time. “You can't tell that it’s built out of sea cans,” said Edmonton entrepreneur Boris Javorski, in an interview with CBC Radio’s Edmonton AM in 2016. “It’s stucco on
the outside. It looks no different than any other hotel. You can’t tell that it’s built out of shipping containers at all.” The hotel’s design included a lounge area on the main floor that was intended to be used as future restaurant space, but not fully developed until now. Marcelo said although it had never been used, some of it still needed to be upgraded. “This was a major project. The water piping had to be upgraded to code and we couldn’t open until that was rectified,” he said. “We’ve also added some new equipment to have a fully functioning kitchen.” Marcelo added that plans for the hotel will include more than serving food. “We have permit applications in to the town,
food handling and to AGLC for the serving of liquor,” he said. “We also hope to install a few VLT machines down the road.” In addition to providing guests with extra amenities, Marcelo said he will eventually need to expand the number of employees working in the hotel. “Slowly but surely, we will be hiring more people,” he said. “Once volume starts to increase, we will be very happy to hire more people. People to run the kitchen and for housekeeping.” While the extended stay four-storey hotel was designed to provide accommodation for workers in the Industrial Heartland region, Marcelo said he hopes everyone will enjoy staying here.
Cool temps keep cosmic skatepark closed BY JANA SEMENIUK The Bruderheim Cosmic Skateboard Park remains closed in spite of warming temperatures hovering above zero for the past couple of weeks. Mayor Karl Hauch requested clarification on when the park might be opening during the Mar. 17 council meeting. “I’ve heard some folks asking about when we might be opening the skateboard park?” he asked. Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny said that temperatures are not quite warm enough. “I spoke to Mr. Tomuschat (Director of Operations and Infrastructure) about
that and we are targeting the beginning of April,” she said. Podoborozny further explained that although daytime temperatures may be warmer, nighttime temperatures are still too cold. “We need overnight lows to not be freezing anymore,” she said. “It
will reduce the risk of slippery surfaces in the mornings.” Podoborozny added that new landscaping done prior to the snowfall would also need to be considered. “We want to make sure we aren’t tracking mud and damaging the new expensive topsoil,” she
said. “We are closely monitoring but with the dryness we are seeing and the nice slow melt we are thinking early April for sure.” Bruderheim’s Cosmic Skateboard Park, the first of a three phase community park project, was completed in 2019 at a cost of $400,000.

National Park plans a series of controlled burns BY JOHN MATHER Staff at Elk Island National Park will be holding a series of controlled burns in the Shirley Lake area of the park in the coming weeks. The burns, which are designed to restore grassland areas, will begin Mar. 22 and extend
until April 10, a press release from the park read. “Fire is a natural process and a key part of a healthy ecosystem at Elk Island National Park,” continued the release. “For decades, fire was considered a negative force that was quickly
suppressed. Fire suppression resulted in an ecological imbalance in the park’s forests and grasslands, as they depend on fire disturbances to remain healthy and resilient. “Current fire management practice understands the need to introduce fire as a natural dis-
turbance process. Prescribed fire is a forest and grassland management tool used to return fire to the landscape in a way that prioritizes the safety of people, infrastructure, cultural heritage and neighbouring lands.”
