Mundare dog run to be set up temporarily to test usage BY JOHN MATHER Mundare council will proceed with a free range dog run in the downtown area along the right of way adjacent to the CN tracks. Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla told council May 4, he had received a quote for fencing for the park but to cover an area of 35 feet x 100 feet it was going to cost about $7,500. After a collective moan went up from councillors, Zyla reported Councillor Frank Rosypal had found some other chain link fence which was at a reasonable price to fence the area. Councillor Jason Kowal said he had been approached about possibly putting the dog run at Ukrainia Park. He said he had concerns about that area because of ball tournaments that take place in the park during the sum-
mer. “I didn’t think it would be the best location,” he said. “Along the tracks is more central. People seem to indicate the park needs to be longer as opposed to be really wide.” He said along the tracks would be a temporary location initially to see what sort of usage the dog park might get. Zyla added he wasn’t sure how long it should be. “A city block is 500 feet,” he stated. “Do you want to go that long. To me, although I don’t have a dog, 100 feet might do.” Rosypal said he could acquire about 150 feet in three rolls and 60 to 70 feet in another couple of rolls. Council did have concerns about erecting the chain link fencing because to install it permanently, fence posts would have to be embed-
ded in concrete. Rosypal then told council he had a source where he could possibly get some channel posts that could be used for temporary fence posts. “I was asked if I wanted them and I said for sure to set them aside,” said Rosypal. “These would be ideal for fence posts, because they are easy to push into the ground. If you can use them they’re yours.” Councillor Irene Talaga wondered who would be responsible for cleaning up the dog park. Zyla, echoed by Mayor Mike Saric, said clean up would be the responsibility of the dog owner. Kowal said the town would have to supply a bag station and a
Bienek, Lotte It is with great sadness and much love that we say goodbye to Lotte Beinek, who passed away on the 6th of May, 2021, at the age of 86 years, just a few days short of her 87th birthday. She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Monika and son-in-law David, grandchildren; Kerri, Cory and Aubrey, great grandchildren; Hayden, Halsey, Lucas and Morrison. Lotte is predeceased by her husband Werner and a sister
garbage can. “People will have to be responsible like they would anywhere else in town. “We’re not trying to generate revenue for the town doing this,” he added. Mayor Mike Saric said, “The whole idea is to give it a try and see what happens.” “If people are responsible … good. If it’s well attended… great. If people don’t go or they let it become a big mess then we can say just forget it and take it out.” Kowal again argued along the track was the place for the dog park. Saric said he felt permission might be required from CN before the park could go in and Zyla said he would look into that.

“I think on the east side of the MRC would be the best location because there is parking there.” Council then considered using snow fence material for temporary fencing. Kowal said it would have to be a long run because if people have a
