Representing Canada in Endurance Riding Colleen DeVrey a leader in equestrian sport MAUREEN SULLIVAN Colleen DeVry has achieved her life long dream of international competition.

The owner/manager of Night Wind Arabian Stables just south of Bruderheim, is passionate about horses and endurance competition. Training and riding for over 35 years, she use to breed and show her Arabians but turned her attention to endurance racing about 11 years ago.

"A few years into endurance, I decided to set my sights on riding FEI (Federation Equestre International), so that I could one day represent my country on the world stage. Last year I achieved my dream, and myself and my main horse NightWinds Indigo Bey were chosen as one of four horse/rider combinations to represent Team Canada in Endurance at the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Tyron, North Carolina," said DeVry. NightWinds Indigo Bey is a 17-year old gelding with 11 years of competition and has over 4,500 competitive miles to his credit. He was ranked second overall in Endurance Canada standings in 2014.

DeVry and Indigo are a tough team, they were chosen out of just 19 nominees for the 2018 WEG Canadian Endurance Team. In part due to Indigo and his owner/trainer/rider DeVry's near perfect completion record in 10 years of competition and placing second and Best Condition in the final qualifying 160 km race at Bellis, AB. Although the race in North Carolina was cancelled due to weather, a hurricane brewing and extreme heat and humidity making dangerous riding conditions, Devry was honoured to be a part of Team Canada.

"I, along with my biggest supporter, my husband Pat, headed south with

our horse and trailer. We had various crew people to help before and during the ride and I can honestly say, I couldn't have done it without all of them. It was an amazing experience and though the race itself ended in failure and was cancelled part-way through due to extreme weather conditions, I still treasure the experience and wouldn't trade it for anything," says DeVry. Endurance riding, a non-Olympic FEI (Federation Equestre International) discipline, is currently the fastest growing equestrian sport in the world, and owes its beginnings to the Pony Express in the United States.

Endurance riding involves a horse and rider team, completing a set course of up to 160 kilometres with maximum times assigned to each distance, within a 24 hour period. Any breed of horse can be used for endurance riding, although Arabians have proven to be the most successful breeds.

“Arabians have been bred for centuries for stamina and endurance, they have big hearts," says DeVry. Riders aim to finish the course as quickly as possible with a sound, healthy horse. The welfare of the horse is paramount with multiple veterinary checks along each course where horses receive a soundness exam to ensure they are fit to continue. Excessive fatigue, signs of lameness and other problems may lead to elimination from the contest.

There is more than speed to consider when in an endurance race says DeVry, there is also strategy. If you race through the course you have to wait for the horse’s heartbeat and breathing to return to normal. If you cross the finish line first but your horse’s heartbeat doesn't return to normal and a second competitor crosses the line and his

Colleen DeVry and NightWinds Indigo Bey as they win the 160 kms endurance race in Bellis in 2018 to earn a spot on Team Canada horse’s heartbeat does, the second competitor is the winner.

DeVry is keen to pass on the love of endurance riding to others. She and her husband Pat run the Night Wind Spring Fling Endurance Ride in Bellis Lake, AB which was held on May 4/5.

For the past few years they have been grooming trail and developing this ride to help others discover the joys of endurance riding. There is also an upcoming ride in Bellis on July 27/28.

Endurance is an economical sport and easy to get into, according to DeVry. Entrance fees are based on dis-

tance travelled, for example a 20 kilometer ride would be about $20. Lunch is provided and dinner is usually potluck. Everyone camps in an adjacent field with the horses.

DeVry runs NightWinds Stables, boarding horses. She also gives group and private riding lessons, specializing in endurance competition. She has quite a few winners in her stables with NightWinds Buried Treasure, Indigo, Magic Dancer, Classic Whiskee, and Bey Infiniti all winning awards in 2018.

All were ridden by riders she has trained.

Closure of Andrew High School continues with EIPS public meeting MAUREEN SULLIVAN It was a quiet crowd at the Elk Island Public School (EIPS) meeting about the proposed closure of grades 10 - 12 at Andrew School, on May 9.

The public meeting hosted by EIPS was to share information about a possible grade reconfiguration at Andrew School and moving the school to a K-9 program.

Superintendent Mark Liguori spoke to the community, explaining the reasoning behind his recommendation to the board and answering questions from the audience.

In the fall of 2018 the Board began reviewing the senior high program at Andrew School.

Multiple public consultations were conducted with students, staff, families, officials and community members—three working-group meetings, a student forum, a

community conversation, a feedback session and a public meeting.

The consultations confirmed the low enrollment numbers at the senior high level limits the access students have to enhanced educational opportunities—in comparison to other schools within the Division.

A recommendation was presented to the Board of Trustees at the April 18 Board meeting to consider the possible closure of grades 7 to 12 at Andrew School. After reviewing and analyzing the report, the Board amended the recommendation and approved the motion “to consider the closure of grades 10-12 at Andrew School, effective June 30, 2019.”

The Board is considering making Andrew School a K-9 school that feeds into Lamont High and Vegreville Composite High for senior high programming.

Liguori spoke at length about the students at the school saying they wanted access to more options, the chance to be in class with other students who were taking the same subject and having a dedicated teacher for that subject.

He pointed out how distance learning and video options were not working for them.

"Senior high students need access to a greater selection of programming options, program specialty teachers, extracurricular opportunities, team sports and more well rounded senior high experiences," said Liguori.

In the question and answer part of the evening, parents talked about the high turnover of the teaching staff at the school, the concern that this was just the first step in closing the school as resources were pulled away and concerns

about ride times.

Several people asked if the school board had any plans to make this the best K-9 school in the district.

Andrew village councillor Sheila Lupal asked what can be done with the empty classrooms? Is there an opportunity to use the space for something for the community like a not for profit daycare.

Mayor Gary Leppek of Andrew asked why nothing was done until this year when the school board had documentation going back about eight years saying there was a declining enrollment in Andrew.

"Why couldn't the board have been proactive with coming up with solutions back then to prevent this step?" asked Leppek.

"Let's work together to keep information going back and forth about the school," said Leppek.

Parents and members had the opportunity to speak to members of the school board and the Trustees after the question and answer period.

Superintendent Liguori summed up the evening by saying that it was an opportunity to listen and hear and find out information not only for the community but for the EIPS school board and school board

trustees.

Attending the evening were Trustees Trina Boymook, Board Chair; Annette Hubick; Don Irwin; W.H. Gordon; Jim Seutter; Harvey Stadnick; Heather Wall; Coleen Holowaychuk; and Randy Footz. Also in attendance was new MLA Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk.

Parents and community members somberly listen as the Andrew High School nears its closure.

Changes could include torturously long school bus rides MAUREEN SULLIVAN Changes to Andrew School are not limited to losing grades 10 to 12.

Everything from where the senior high school students go to school, different bus routes, and when the day starts will be different for students.

School boundaries will become different with any senior high students living west of the village of Andrew along Highway 855 and Range Road 164 redirected to Lamont High. Senior High students living east of Andrew along Highway 855 and Range Road 164 are redirected to Vegreville Composite.

The bell schedule at Andrew will be amended with a start time of 8:15 a.m. and dismissal time at 2:50 p.m. Lamont High bell schedule is 8:40 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.

Vegreville Composite High bell schedule is 8:21 a.m. to 3:09 p.m.

The bus route alters to accommodate sending grades 10 - 12 to new schools. In the morning

students attending Lamont High will travel with Andrew K-9 students to Andrew School where they will transfer onto a Lamont bound bus, arriving at the school for 8:30 a.m.

Students attending Vegreville Composite will travel from home to school on one of two direct buses arriving at school at 8:10 a.m.

G HAS N I R P S N G, S P R UTO BE T I M E TO K I ND

The afternoon bus route also changes.

Andrew students will depart school at 3:00 p.m. Senior high students attending Lamont and Vegreville will depart school at 3:25 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. respectively, arriving at Andrew School at 4:05 p.m. where they transfer onto home bound buses.

Opinion Thwart the interlopers With the increase in rural crime in Alberta, farmers and acreage owners have been forced to take great security precautions where they once may have left their doors unlocked and their property unprotected. Their peaceful havens now have a real threat of interlopers.

Rural Alberta has to protect itself against such vermin and we have the intelligence to do so.

Rural property thefts are on the rise partly because of Alberta’s poor economy, but also because of the windfall awaiting thieves on rural land where there is more valuable equipment and tools, often unlocked.

Our rural friends really have to consider the preventative importance of a well-built gate and fence with heavy duty locking. Sure it can be a pain locking the gate at night and every time you leave your property, but there isn’t a more helpless feeling than watching thieves taking your property while you await police protection, or finding out your hard earned items have vanished while you were away or asleep.

Not many friends and neighbours need to be contacted to realize how many have witnessed thieves driving onto their property night or day, meddling with barns, sheds or checking out equipment before being scared away. Thieves are often more interested in what is outside the rural home than inside. That’s why our rural friends have to store ATVs, snowmobiles, lawn tractors and the like in a locked shed or barn. One stup farther, would be to disable machines so they can’t be easily rolled away.

As for in-home property, our rural residents always should make it look like someone is at home. Timer lights work great, as do motion sensors. Remember, rats like the dark and don’t want to be seen.

Refrain from hiding spare keys on your property. You know as well as thieves that keys under the doormat or in a planter might just as well have been left in the key hole. Leave them with a trusted friend or neighbour, or better yet invest in a keypad entry system.

It might be worth the investment to purchase a monitored camera and alarm system. Post signs on your property alerting thieves that they are being recorded and the property is monitored. There are also fake cameras that look like the real thing.

Whether monitored, non monitored, or fake, make sure there are plenty of signs and stickers around because a thief likely won’t stick around to determine if your equipment is real or operational. They normally target the unprepared.

There is no perfect solution to preventing rural property crime. Protecting your property can be expensive, but a small investment compared to the amount of possessions being saved.

Just because you assume your rural area or subdivision is safe, and believe nobody has staked-out your property, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be the next victim violated in rural Alberta.

I emplore our rural friends to take rural crime seriously, and make things so difficult for thieves that they are forced to consider getting a real job like the rest of us. Remember, crooks are typically lazy and stupid so anything you do to make things more difficult for them is to your great benefit.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Federal Liberals plan to make Alberta pay a higher carbon tax than Quebec New Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has vowed to repeal the provincial carbon levy implemented by the previous NDP government.

That tax began in 2017 at $20 a tonne and rose to $30 a tonne before the NDP froze it in protest to delays over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

The federal Liberal government has said that if Kenney makes good on his promise, the federal ‘backstop’ carbon tax will kick in on Alberta consumers, with the federal rate scheduled to rise to $30 a tonne next year.

But a $30-per-tonne carbon tax rate in Alberta, whether imposed provincially or federally, is around 50 per cent higher than the rate in place in Quebec as a result of its cap-and-trade system with California.

There’s no justification for such a gap.

One province shouldn’t pay an effective rate that’s higher than another. Even worse, in those provinces where the federal carbon tax is imposed – Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and likely soon Alberta – the tax will be twice as high, if it reaches $50 tonne in 2022 as scheduled, than the de facto rate in Quebec, which is expected to reach around $25.

This is because Quebec’s plan is based on cap and trade, where costs are linked to the price of permits sold on a market it shares with California. The California government deliberately oversupplies permits to keep prices low. Projections for prices on that market show permit prices to remain below $25 by 2022.

Still, the federal government approved Quebec’s cheaper plan as sufficient to

avoid the more expensive federal carbon tax.

So certain producers are punished more than others.

The Canadian oil and gas sector is already dealing with several challenges. A higher carbon tax just adds insult to injury.

First and foremost, the lack of pipelines in Canada keeps our resources from reaching foreign markets, forcing exporters to take discounts for serving just one market – the U.S. – using limited transportation options.

A crisis point was reached last year when the discount rate between Western Canada Select and West Texas Intermediate – essentially, the gap between the price of Canadian and U.S. oil – peaked at $50 per barrel, far above its historic level.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Be Careful

BY HAZEL ANAKA Regular readers of this space know that I love garage sales, thrift and consignment stores, flea markets and the like.

Sure, there’s the thrill of the hunt and the cost savings. But even better, is the artistic and design challenge inherent in looking at these castoffs and reimagining how they can continue to live on serving me and my life. That prospect of a ‘second life’ also happens to be hot right now.

Anything repurposed is saved from the landfill

Letter: Carbon tax Continued from Page 4 This led the Alberta government to impose production cutbacks of 325,000 barrels per day, temporarily easing the pain but not solving the underlying problem.

Pipelines that provide access to tidewater would allow Canadian producers to serve Asia, which is the market of tomorrow. While the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects North American and European demand for petroleum products to decrease between 2017 and 2040, Asia’s demand is expected to increase by nine million barrels per day. The IEA also forecasts major increases in natural gas demand by the same countries during that period.

A lack of sufficient pipelines transporting oil across Canada also increases the cost of crude oil for Eastern Canadian refineries. In 2017, Canada imported approximately 670,000 barrels of crude oil a day, with approximately 350,000 barrels a day coming from the U.S. The rest came from such

and is another small victory against our disposable society. Shiplap, barn board, textiles, furniture, housewares, décor pieces can all be turned into something else. Other times, a vase is a vase is a vase. And when you collect vessels, as I do, that’s okay, too.

Years ago, I wrote a column about all the things I’ve found in used books. Things like letters; credit card receipts; a long since stale-dated cheque; photos; shopping lists; and more. I even found a Safeway gift card with money left on it. Most of these old things reflect a kinder, more innocent time when people didn’t worry about whether some bad guy would steal their identity and empty their bank accounts.

But there is a lesson to be learned. These over-

sights are still happening when people donate or sell their items. We have two recent examples.

And while we aren’t going to do anything nefarious with the information, it’s a reminder that we need to be careful when disposing of our own stuff. Check books, desk drawers, file folders, pockets.

Roy recently bought a judge’s desk through an online Alberta government surplus sale. It’s large and quite beautiful despite evidence of years of use. As Roy cleaned it and began making it his own, he found someone’s old bank statements and cheque stubs dating back to the 80s wedged behind the bank of drawers.

One of the things Roy needed for the desk was hanging folders. Rather than heading straight to Staples to buy some I

countries as Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Norway, Nigeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom.

The lack of market access, due to the difficulty building pipelines, and the numerous delays surrounding energy projects are the challenges with the biggest financial impact on this sector.

This hurts not only provincial public finances but also the Canadian economy as a whole – at a cost of some $4 billion annually in recent years. That cost has certainly grown far higher now that oil production exceeds pipeline capacity.

To this must be added new regulations that make the process of developing projects more burdensome. In Alberta, for example, permitting delays are much longer than in the United States, our main competitor.

The federal government also plans to impose the Clean Fuel Standard, which will add yet another layer of regulation. In fact, it’s simply another carbon tax under a different name.

The cumulative effect of these measures, often adopted piecemeal, will

stifle the Canadian oil industry, which has already been hit hard.

Investment in Alberta’s oil and gas sector has fallen by half, from $81 billion in 2014 to $40 billion in 2018. The oil sands sector, requiring longer lead times, has experienced an even sharper drop in investment, from $34 billion to $11 billion over the same period.

Experts project that the global demand for oil will continue to grow until at least 2040, especially in Asia. That’s why Canada must continue to supply some of that demand in a responsible manner, as it already does, rather than leave its resources in the ground in favour of other producing countries – some of which have environmental and human rights records that are far less exemplary than Canada’s.

Instead of overtaxing and overregulating the vital part of our economy that is Alberta’s oil and gas sector, we should strive to eliminate unnecessary hurdles and misguided policies that reduce the well-being of Canadians while providing little to no benefit for the natural environment.

Jean Michaud

thought I’d wait and see.

New surplus office supplies often show up in the places I frequent.

Sure enough. I bought a tied bundle of about fifty for two dollars at an Edmonton garage sale.

Naturally, the perfect new ones were visible; the centre of the bundle, less so. As I checked through them I discovered, yet again, that people are crafty and it’s always buyer beware. It was still a helluva deal.

One folder included an envelope labeled Sharon.

I set it aside for later study.

The envelope contained three typewriter letters (two on government agency letterhead

from another province) and a Polaroid photo of a young girl. It also contained family drama and heartache. In essence, a sibling was trying to locate her sister, who had been given up for adoption in the mid-1960s by her parents because of “mental and /or physical disabilities.” Two letters were dated December 1989 and the third January 1990.

Aside from the human drama and how and why families make decisions, I noted how even back in the days of snail mail, the sister got a written reply in less than two weeks. I dare say, that kind of turnaround with actual information and referral

to another agency would never happen that quickly today. The second letter to the sister, came within a month of her original request and included more information and more help. I have images of today’s red tape, FOIPP regs, jurisdiction, crazy workloads, and bureaucratic butt-covering. Isn’t that why an Ombudsman for these rights or those are now standard in many government agencies?

So while, I can’t stop thinking about this family’s story or the danger of bank records being ‘out there,’ the lesson for all of us is be careful, from where I sit.

Bruderheim Steak Night raises laughs and money for the Community Park MAUREEN SULLIVAN The second annual Bruderheim Steak Night was a big success as it raised money for the Community Park Committee on May 3.

Taking place at the Karol Maschmeyer Arena the evening included dinner, silent and live auctions, 50/50, and William James Ultimate Trivia Party.

Master of Ceremonies Nolan Crouse, former Mayor of St. Albert, led the live auction.

Two tickets to an Edmonton Oilers home game donated by Shell went for $450. A signed

Oiler jersey from Kyle Brodziak went for $350.

Mayor Karl Hauch received, on behalf of the park committee, a check for $10,000 from Northwest Refinery.

After dinner, members of each table competed in William James Ultimate Trivia Party, hosted by William James.

Answering many trivia questions such as where did French Toast originate, in France or Germany?

(Answer: France), each table collected bingo chips for each correct answer. The audience had a chance to collect extra chips by

participating in various challenges such as doing the correct movements to the song YMCA, singing opera, and acting out falling in love Disney style.

Tables with a certain number of chips then had one member compete in a best out of three rock, paper, scissor competition and those winners played a game of musical chairs. Bragging rights for winning the Ultimate Trivia Game Challenge,went to Lester and Sherri Strickland, Geoff and Stephanie Harrold, John and Maureen MacKenzie.

It was fun and games, or in this case singing and dancing, as the members of one table act out a song as the characters from the TV show "Glee" to earn extra points in the Ultimate Trivia Challenge at the Bruderheim Steak Night fundraiser for the Community Park.

Farm students can win scholarships through 4-H program

BY JOHN MATHER Alberta rural farm youth aged 25 and under, having completed high school, who are currently enrolled as a first year student at an acknowledged post secondary institution have until June 30 to apply for a chance at one of the 4H scholarships with a total value of $80,000.

The scholarships are from the Elmer and Ona Hansen Memorial Fund Scholarship.

Changes made to the scholarship in 2018 have allowed the money to be awarded to help rural farm youth who have left home to pursue post secondary education or trade.

To qualify students must write a 500 word essay, said Nicole Kaczkowski, a fund development officer for 4-H Alberta. “In it they must say why they are the best qualified candi-

date and what their future goals are.�

She said applicants into the competition don’t have to be members of 4-H but they must have lived 80 per cent of their lives on the farm.

The scholarships were initially started by Lillian and Edward Ness in 2008. The Ness family had always been very involved with 4-H through Alberta, said Kaczkowski.

After Lillian Ness’s parents passed, the scholarship was renamed in their honour becoming the

Elmer and Ona Hansen Memorial Fund.

First place in the competition will give one lucky winner a $20,000 scholarship.

Second place is a $15,000 scholarship and third place will be a $10,000 scholarship. For those placing fourth to tenth each will be awarded a $5,000 scholarship.

The application to get entries in for the 2019 awards is May 1 to June 30. Applications are available on the 4-H website at www.4h.ab.ca

Lamont High hosts Finnish exchange students Canadian part of cultural exchange MAUREEN SULLIVAN Lamont High was home to 11 Finnish students, and three of their teachers last week as they took part in an exchange program with the Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS).

The students were from Rauma, Finland.

The town of 40,000, about the size of Fort Saskatchewan, is a three hour drive from Helsinki on the coast. Its main industries are a paper mill, shipping, importing and exporting. It is also home to two UNESCO sites.

The exchange school Raumen Lyseon Lukio, is a high level academic school. In Finland at the age of 16 the students either decide to pursue academics or go off into the trades, or leave school.

The visit, running from May 3-11, marked the second half of this year’s exchange, following a trip by EIPS staff and students to Finland in fall 2018. Both Lamont High and Fort Saskatchewan High had the chance to reciprocate the hospitality and kindness they received in Finland while they gave their guests a firsthand look at Alberta culture and education.

“Our hope is that our friends from Finland are able to gain an appreciation for the diversity that can be found across our Division,” says Amit Mali, the Principal at Lamont High. “We’re very excited to showcase the variety of programming that we offer our students, and the many ways they can find success in their education.”

Arriving on May 3, in Edmonton they travelled to Lamont and area.

Meeting up with their host families, the Finnish and Lamont students spent Saturday the 4th, at the West Edmonton Mall. They travelled to Drumheller on the Sunday.

Tuesday May 7, the Lamont High School Parent Council cooked a Ukrainian Supper for them of perogees, kubassa, holupchi, salad and dessert.

Mayor Bill

Skinner and school board trustee Colleen Holowaychuk welcomed them to the community.

After dinner a group from the Lamont Veselka Dancers did a tambourine dance for them.

The Finnsih students then had a chance to try their hand at Ukrainian egg decorationg.

Leevi Kirjavainen, one of the Finnish students, thought the trip was great and learned a lot.

"The trip to Drumheller was good, I have never seen anything like that before, the dinosaurs and landscape. The fields went on forever and it all looked the same, we were wondering if we were passing the same place over and over again. You never see that much land in Finland, it is mostly forests."

He was also surprised by the food. "We had a traditional Ukrainian dinner, it was so filling.

At home we eat a lot lighter food, mostly a lot of soups."

According to Max Farrell who hosted Kirjavainen in his home during the week, the experience was awesome, and making a friend and learning some phrases in Finnish would help him when he gets a chance to go the Finland in October of 2019.

Some of the other differences in the two school systems according to the exchange students is the level of formality in the Canadian system.

"In Finland we call our teachers by their first names, and if we need to leave a class we just go.

Also we can take whatever class we want in any order," said Lotta, one Finnish girl.

We are welcoming close to 30 visitors from Finland over the weekend as part of an exciting international research partnership, said a statement by EIPS. Known as FinAl, this three-year partnership connects schools from Finland and Alberta, with the aim of highlighting both education systems so that each partner can learn from the successes of the other. “Our goal is

to determine what makes schools great, whether that’s here in Alberta or in Finland,” says Sunny Sandhu, the Principal at Fort Saskatchewan High.

“What’s exciting about this partnership is that it puts students first, and allows them to lead the conversation when it comes to talking about the student educational

While this is the last trip of the school year, the FinAl partnership is slated to run until 2021, and will include many more visits and collaborations in the years to come.

Bruderheim skateboard park ground broken

BY JOHN MATHER The skateboard park at the new Bruderheim Community Park officially got underway on May 11 with the official ribbon cutting. The mayor, councillors, school board officials and local kids all came out to take part in the event.

The official serious ground breaking got underway on May 13 as heavy equipment moved on to the site.

“This is a real special day for me,” said Mayor Karl Hauch. “This is the fifth summer without a skateboard park. Our previous one was a small one which only a small town could afford.”

“But the community got behind this project in a big way,” he added. “The last big fundraiser we had was the steak supper last week and I’m pleased to say it raised more than $9,600 and that’s awesome.”

He said it was exciting the kids had come out to the opening.

“This was a safety issue for Bruderheim,” he said.

“We would see kids skateboarding down the roads and even on the highway and it caused quite a bit of concern in the town.”

Hauch added the first phase of the community park is underway and said the town had a lot to be thankful for.

“People came out and decided we can do this and it’s being done without tax dollars,” he added. “You should all be proud of yourselves.”

“The goal was to raise $200,000 and apply for matching funding,” said chief administrative officer, Patty Podoborozny.

“We’ve have been successful in that, with the local Lions Club getting matching grants and we’re now only $10,000 off our goal.”

She added the fourphase project begins with the skateboard park and it is being completely built without using any tax dollars.

“Our kids are going to be able to enjoy this skate

board park this summer.”

The entire community park project will eventu-

ally carry a price tag of about $1.2 million, according to Podoborozny. That proj-

ect will have such features as a splash pad, natural playground and a community garden.

Dignitaries, volunteers, and school board officials did the ceremonial groundbreaking for Bruderheim’s $200,000 skateboard park, May 11. Included in the party from town council were Deputy Mayor Pat Lee, Councillor Patrick Crawford and Mayor Karl Hauch. The park is expected to be open by the time summer holidays start.

Mundare public skating issues aired at council

BY JOHN MATHER Mundare Council got an earful from the Mundare Agricultural Society after the society read about public skating complaints in the Lamont Leader.

“I wanted to come forward on behalf of the Agricultural Society,” said Peter Palischuk Jr. “We seem to have a communication issue on a couple of things in particular public skating.

The first time I knew anything about this was when it was in the local paper.”

“We never received any input asking why don’t we have public skating and what can we do’” he said.

He explained no public skating was offered this year because of bookings for other events. One of those is a major super hockey league out of Edmonton that pays a premium price for ice time through the week and on Sundays, when public skating had been held.

“We held public skating from 4:30 to 6 p.m.,” he said. “We had to make a decision, and it was a business decision, that we take the hockey bookings and delete public skating.”

Palischuk said he had been approached by one individual who was upset that public skating hadn’t been offered. He said he explained the rationale behind the move, but the person

wasn’t satisfied stating if it had been cancelled then why was it advertised on the Mundare community website.

Mayor Mike Saric quickly asked CAO Colin Zyla if that was true. Zyla replied he didn’t know, but added he wouldn’t be surprised noting the items weren’t routinely removed from the web site.

Palischuk said the Agricultural Society would be glad to do something to try and remedy the situation, but he wanted to provide all his information to the town, so they knew where his concerns lay.

He said staffing the arena is difficult and he had to have concerns about the safety of his volunteer workers and protecting the facility.

He was pleased with monies the town supplied to the society.

Insurance for the arena was $25,000 per year, he pointed out. Utilities added another $52,000 per year.

The grant money the Society received went a long way, but revenues had to make up a good amount of the costs.

During the last three to four years, public skating numbers had gone down dramatically.

“For three to four people skating – to make $6 for an hour and a half – it just doesn’t make sense,” he said. He added the majority of people coming to public skating

were coming from Vegreville – not Mundare.

If he could get some volunteers, he said, it would go a long way.

The arena has only one paid employee and that job is part time.

When asked by Councillor Irene Tallega whether a student could do the job, Palischuk replied it raised some safety concerns.

“We’ve had issues in the past where there have been toilets plugged, people haven’t shut the lights off, and people go to areas where they’re not supposed to so a responsible adult would be preferable.”

He said the Society is willing to run the arena.

His Society members are younger than him and on weekends when vol-

unteers are needed they are doing things with their families.

Zyla asked if the arena was booked every weekend? Palischuk said it wasn’t but you had to have a regular schedule for something like public skating so the public could get used to it being on at a regular time.

He estimated there were maybe eight Sundays when the ice would have been available this year. The super league had originally wanted the entire arena ice times but Palischuk had said no to that.

After more discussion, he told council one possible time for public skating could be Friday evening. Saric said as a municipality they had to get some time at the arena since they support

it financially.

Palischuk pointed out Vegreville Minor Hockey was the biggest ice user during the year, but there were also four adult recreational leagues and

the Edmonton Super League.

“We will find a spot, but I wanted to make you aware of the situation we have,” he said.

Lane drainage issues upset some residents in Bruderheim

BY JOHN MATHER Residents, who mostly rent their properties, are upset with Bruderheim and the plans to upgrade the lane behind the apartments and duplexes adjacent to 52 Avenue.

An engineer report has put the cost of fixing the lane at $250,355. At council on May 1, council was presented with a motion to approve spending $250,355 for the lane drainage improvements.

In presenting the motion, Acting Chief Administrative Officer Dennis Tomuschat gave an overview of the project.

He said the town had had Associated Engineering develop a master plan to indentify infrastructure upgrades in the town in 2013. In 2016, MPE Engineering Ltd. conducted a road condition survey of the town road inventory to determine priorities for upgrades. In 2017, the town approved the priorities set out by MPOE and approved a borrowing bylaw of $1 million to fund upgrades in West Woodlands and Brookside subdivisions.

Tomuschat told council MPE recommended the town now focus on upgrading its aging underground infrastructure and to that end, last fall the town approved a grant application of $3million to upgrade the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water reservoir. The town will have to commit its MSI funding for the next three years to match the grant amount if it is approved which means the town doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to repair the drainage on the lane adjacent to 52 Avenue unless the residents take the project on as a local improvement project which would have them paying the costs over a fixed term through higher property taxes.

Tomuschat said two residents had approached the town to fix the issues on the lane.

Tomuschat said the town would put grate along the lane this summer to cover the ditches that he said would fix the problem in some ways.

Councillor George Campbell asked why they were being asked to spend the money if the money wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.

Legislative officer Sherry Cote said this just provided council with a starting point for discussion on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we spent this money and upgrade the lane, what would be the levy on the residents,â&#x20AC;? asked councilor Judy Schuler. Tomuschat said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know and would get that information back to council.

Mayor Karl Hauch suggested council defeat the bylaw and then approve a motion to have administration move forward to speak with the residents and determine if a local levy was an option.

Councillor Len Falardeau said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move forward with any pans until the residents were consulted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is there a possibility we could only spend part of the money and do a initial fix because they do have an issue there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think we should look at other avenues before we shut the door.â&#x20AC;?

Deputy Mayor Pat Lee couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine how the costs could be so

Mundare Council

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it needs to be mid week so be it,â&#x20AC;? said Kowal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no sense having public skating if no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there using it. If we start it on a certain day and make that day stick then people become aware of it.â&#x20AC;?

Palischuk said the people using public skating arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the hockey players.

He said Friday evening at 5:30 could work and Kowal agreed

that could be an OK time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had one day that was fixed and people get used to showing up then it may work,â&#x20AC;? said Saric.

Kowal felt the town could look at some options for staffing the arena if there was a set schedule for public skating.

They agreed to work together to resolve this issue.

high to just put in a catch basin and fill in a ditch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not reinventing the wheel on this whole thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We install a catch basin and dig up a ditch which had been covered-in. We have to talk to the residents because there may be a fix that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to cost that much.â&#x20AC;?

Tomuschat said the town engineers had provided the estimate based on construction standards and that if the project moved ahead then the costs might come in lower at the time of tender. Further he said the entire project would have to be done, because there were changes in elevations and the entire lane project would have to be approved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has to be all or nothing to make it drain properly,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Campbell agreed with Tomuschat, saying once you start stripping land you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do half a job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting in a ditch might solve the problem

in the next few years, but they tend to fill in and the problem starts again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would suggest we meet with the residents and explain the costs involved, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we can do a partial fix.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further,â&#x20AC;? he stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is not the only area of town that suffers. We have areas on the south side of the tracks that are in worse conditions than this. We have to try and mitigate a solution without going into debt to get it.â&#x20AC;?

Council asked administration to set up a meeting between the residents, administration and council to discuss the issues and the possibility of establishing a local levy.

Cote explained since the town didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal with renters, the motion would have to specify meeting with landowners.

Residents living along the lane in the gallery spoke after the meeting

about the problems it presented. One resident said the owners were not as concerned about the problem as the people living in the properties and the home occupants should be allowed to meet with council as well. She told council the lane represented the only way she could get home and when it was flooded and frozen she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open her back gate to get out of her home.

Another resident told council he had moved to the town a few years ago and kept his home in pristine condition, but changes the town made to the laneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elevations created a situation where he was flooded out almost annually. He felt the town should fix the problem rather than have the local residents pay a premium for the fix.

Council passed the motion to have a meeting with the affected landowners. No date was set for the meeting.

YOUR NEWS THIS WEEK:

Continued from Page 8 He said the school used the ice during the day, but they had a key and were responsible for turning off the lights and locking the doors after they left.

Palischuk said the building was 40 years old and they hoped to have an assessment done on it soon to find out the lifetime left in it.

He said this year some roofing work would be done, adding if the building and ice plant werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t safe it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be operated.

The roof fix he said was estimated at $40,000.

In addition, the lobby was upgraded in the past couple of years and upgrades reduced lighting costs, but with rates increasing it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much.

Councillor Jason Kowal said before the next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice schedule was done, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the town made aware of public skating.

Lamont Ladies Curling Bonspiel raises money for a good cause SUBMITTED BY JANINE WHITING The Lamont Curling Club (LCC) hosts their annual Ladies Bonspiel on the third weekend of March every year.

Many years ago it was decided that the Ladies Bonspiel should become a way to give back to the community so every year since then a portion of the proceeds from the raffles and auctions are donated to one or two

worthy charities.

Over the years the ladies have donated over $20,000 to charities such as the Lamont County Food Bank, Lamont Fire Department, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation – Neurosurgery Kid’s Fund and the Kids with Cancer Society.

This year’s proceeds gave $500 to Haying in the 30’s and $1,500 to the

Look Good Feel Better program which empowers women battling cancer. These 2 charities were chosen on behalf of long-time Lamont Curling Club member and town business owner Marilyn Koroluk who participated in a Look Good Feel Better workshop and encouraged the club to support it this year. Colleen Malica and Janine Whiting of the bonspiel organizing committee were very proud to present cheques to these worthy charities.

Each year the organizing committee picks a

theme for the weekend and curlers are encouraged to create unique costumes related to the theme. This is always very entertaining! This year’s theme was Sun, Sand & Surf. Curlers

enjoyed a beachy drink special and festive decorations that took them away from the cold weather for a while.

Saturday night’s entertainment included a lively and amusing game of

L.C.C. Ladies Bonspiel Family Feud.

With a full roster of 20 teams for the two day event, it provides a lot of fun and good curling for curlers and spectators alike.!

Lamont Veselka Dancers celebrate a successful season with St. Michael finale MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Lamont Veselka Ukrainian Dance Club's Year End Show occurred on May 4, at the St. Michael Hall. A program of dance was followed by a ukrainian dinner, drawing of the 50/50 and a silent auction.

From pre-beginners to adults, the dance club showcased their talent, with Harrison Zabel and Ainsley Lopushinsky, acting as the masters of ceremony. A small technical problem with the floor of the stage during the performance by special guests the Zabava Ukrainian Dancers (ZUD), did little to slow down the action. A brand new adult group promoting fun, fitness and preservation of Ukrainian dance, the ZUD performed a blend of Bukovyna and the roaring 20's style.

Imagine Ukrainians putting their mark on the Charleston.

The club had a successful year with the Level 3 dancers winning gold at the Vermilion Dance Festival with "Polissian Steppes", a dance characterized by high knees and kicks, colourful costumes plus high energy. They also won a Most Promising award for their dance

"Poltava Friends" performed by Keyaira Campbell, Emma Van Peteghen, Peyton Woywitka, Cameron Woywitka, Alyena Zacharko and Madeline.

Cameron Woywitka performed a fast paced "Hutzel" solo, which won him a scholarship to attend a Cheremosh Summer Dance Camp when he performed it at the Kalyna Dance Festival.

The Level 2 performed their "Poltava Dance" that earned them a Most Promising Award at the Kalyna Festival this March. Performed by Tessa Bryks, Amiya Campbell, Avery Campbell, Jacksen Kelso, Jennie Van Peteghen and Dominic Woywitka.

The Level 1 performed "Bees and the Flowers" which earned them a Most Promising Award at Kalyna. Performed by Eva Kozakewich, Amelia McCullough, leaner McCullough, Nevach Oleksyn and Logan Woywitka.

The Level 4 performed a character dance, "The Shoemaker", where he needs to make new dance slippers for the ladies.

Danced by Anastasia Pewarchuk, Kira Snyder, Shawn Solowan, Sienna

The Lamont Veselka Dancers took the stage at their year end finale on May 4 at St Michael.

Whaling and Mercedes Widmer.

The Level 5 performed "Dance Class", and when they performed it at the Vermilion Festival, the adjudicator praised the dancers for showing on their faces how much they disliked doing the barre warmup. Danced

by Ashley Dowhaniuk, Miranda Koroluk and Breanne Martz.

There was also a performance by the Adult group featuring Ashley Dowhaniuk, Miranda Koroluk, and Breanne Martz.

President Terry Zacharko thanked the sponsors, the parents and instructors Mikaila Petrov and Andrew Tyrkalo for the great year.

Stolen vehicle from Mundare leads police to arrests A stolen vehicle from Mundare led to the chase and apprehension of property crime offenders operating across multiple jurisdictions in the Lakeland area.

With the assistance of an anonymous tip, RCMP members were able to locate a stolen truck in Saddle Lake. A traffic stop was attempted with the vehicle, but it fled at high speed. The RCMP helicopter took over observation from the air and saw the vehicle stop at an intersection and occupants flee on foot. The Tactical Flight Officer (TFO) in the helicopter was able to coordinate RCMP members on the ground to intercept fleeing occupants.

The helicopter continued observation of the stolen vehicle which fled

into St Paul County. The TFO was able to coordinate a successful spike belt deployment by an EADRCRU member on an isolated road. The stolen vehicle soon

became disabled and RCMP members moved in and arrested the driver.

Trent Gladue, 26, of Saddle Lake faces several charges.
