Cat Scratch Fever?

Bruderheim family may move after note attached to friendly feline

BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim cat owner, Teena Weibel’s recent experience with cat haters has made her re-think her decision to move into the area.

“We were so happy to move here just over a year ago. Now we are worried because we can’t believe how cruel people can be,” she said.

Weibel and her partner moved to Bruderheim with their two cats, one

named Fred, as well as their two dogs.

Fred likes to roam the neighbourhood while the other cat prefers to stay inside.

“Our neighbours call him ‘Friendly Freddy’,” she said. “I let him out twice a day. He is so social he cries to go outside.”

Weibel let Fred out on Oct. 8 as she usually does and he returned home an hour later with a note tied to his collar.

“The note said, ‘your cat returned home today. He might not next time. Be a responsible owner.’,” she said. Weibel felt horrified.

“I couldn’t believe anyone would do that,” said Weibel.

Weibel added that she doesn’t understand why people are against outdoor cats.

Hard to enforce cat bylaws Continued from front “Cats are not dangerous,” she said. “When a stray cat poops in my yard I just clean it up or spray them with water to keep them away.”

While most residents seem to ignore roaming cats and some even welcome them, others are not as accepting. After Weibel posted her experience on social media she said she received so many threats she had to remove it.

“I was getting personal threats from people who said they have no problem killing cats,” she said. “I was blown away by the number of cruel individuals in town.”

As far as cat bylaws go, Bruderheim Chief

Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny said by email that Bruderheim does not have one.

“We currently do not have any bylaws or licensing requirements for cats,” she said. “It was discussed by council three years ago and a motion to have a cat bylaw was defeated.”

Podoborozny included that a cat bylaw would be hard to enforce.

“Cat bylaws are difficult to enforce as well as expensive to administer.

The cost to enforce a cat bylaw just doesn’t make sense in our community,” she said.

Podoborozny added that in the five years she has been employed by the Town of Bruderheim she has never received a cat complaint.

Other municipalities, however, are very clear on their cat bylaws.

The town of Lamont, on their website under animal control bylaws, state that households

may not own more than two cats who must remain confined to the property at all times.

According to the bylaws, the fine for failure to confine cats in the town of Lamont is $50. Chief Administrative Officer Christine Beveridge could not be reached for comment.

The Village of Andrew, on the other hand, is aligned with Bruderheim in not mandating a cat bylaw.

“We don’t have a specific bylaw for cats,” said Andrew Chief Administrative Officer Pat Skoreyko. “Its hard to enforce with cats being so different from dogs. It hasn’t been an overwhelming issue, so not much need for a bylaw.”

Presently there are no known plans for bringing a cat bylaw back into council discussions in Bruderheim.

NOT “CAT PEOPLE” A note tied onto the neck of Bruderheim cat Freddy alarmed his owners when he arrived back home on Oct. 8.

MLA announces exciting new project affecting constituency While Albertans have been out enjoying the beautiful fall weather, a lot has been going on in government. I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on all that has been happening.

This past week was Animal Health Week.

Animal Health Week gives us a chance to highlight the importance of veterinary care to our economy and celebrate the hard-working rural veterinarians who call our province home.

I know that veterinarians in Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville work tirelessly to ensure that our livestock are healthy.

Thanks to their work throughout the years, our agriculture sector is strong and will continue to be strong as we fight our way out of the pandemic.

On Tuesday, Associate Minister of Natural Gas and Electricity Dale Nally announced a new plan for diversifying and growing Alberta’s natural gas industry that will position our province as a post-pandemic powerhouse for responsible energy development.

This directly affects

our constituency of Fort SaskatchewanVegreville, as earlier this year, ATCO announced that they have been awarded $2.8 million in funding from Emissions Reduction Alberta Natural Gas Challenge to advance a brand-new hydrogen blending project in Fort Saskatchewan.

This project recently began construction and will use domesticallyproduced natural gas to form hydrogen for energy consumption.

Community support and engagement is important to this project.

ATCO sees it as integral to their operations. I am excited for projects like this that will bring jobs and economic diversification to our constituency. I am also excited to see Alberta continue to demonstrate leadership in emissions reduction technology and continue to produce the cleanest and most ethical energy products in the world. I am proud that my constituency of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville is involved in this innovative project and look forward to watching it develop.

Also this week, I was

honoured to host Finance Minister Travis Toews in our constituency, as he continues his Budget 2021 consultation tour with Albertans. I believe Budget 2021 should continue our government’s focus on cutting wasteful spending, keeping taxes low and streamlining operations.

At the same time, we need to continue to support the core services Albertans rely on, while also investing in families and businesses. This was a productive meeting with constituents as Minister Toews was able to listen to their priorities and concerns.

It’s important that Budget 2021 reflect the people and priorities of our great province, so I urge anyone with thoughts about the budget to reach out to me and share your ideas.

Please contact my constituency office at FortSaskatchewan.Veg reville@assembly.ab.ca if you have any questions or concerns Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk is the MLA Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville

Opinion Rood brings plight of Lamont farmers to Ottawa

BY JOHN MATHER Kudos have to go this week to our Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs.

Last week she brought Lambton-KentMiddlesex MP Lianne Rood out to the riding to tour areas which have been devastated by heavy rainfall this year hurting crops and forcing five counties in the riding to declare Agricultural Disaster areas.

Rood is the newly appointed Shadow Minister of Agriculture for the Conservative party.

Stubbs had written to the Liberal Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau earlier in the summer asking her to come to the riding but it was ignored. Rood coming out to tour the area was a good first step to rectify this slight by Federal officials.

Stubbs said she got no response from Bibeau but rather from the Environment Minister Jonathon Wilkinson, whom in effect ignored the issues she had raised in her letter and instead said the farmers “should give the Liberals a hero cookie for not applying the carbon tax to manure and bovine flatulence.”

Rood said she and her predecessor with the agriculture file had constantly argued on the plight of Western farmers and the harvest from hell.

“We are constantly trying to bring to the attention of this minister that there are serious issues that are affecting the livelihoods of people who contribute a lot to our rural communities,” she said during her stay in Lakeland on Oct, 1. “Our farms are the critical pillars of our rural communities and we need them to be successful to sustain the success of our rural communities.”

But when she got back to Ottawa, Rood didn’t sit on the devastation she had witnessed first hand and do nothing.

Instead she got up in the House of Commons and detailed some of the tour.

“The devastation I saw in the Lakeland Riding and feeling of this government’s abandonment is more than anything I’ve ever seen,” she stated.

Continued

“The only way to truly represent all Canadians is She told of farmers who to require they occasionleave the wanted their children to ality continue on, in the family Ottawa ivory tower.”

Rood said it would be business, but instead were now telling them to nice if Bibeau would move to the city and learn come out and see the area because she would have a a different profession.

Rood pointed out much better understandStubbs had invited the ing of what the obstacles Minister of Agriculture to were that farmers face on visit the devastated areas, a regular basis.

It’s good to see Stubbs but “the minister couldn’t even bother to respond.” bringing her colleagues Continued

to this area and even better to see them immediately follow up in the House of Commons.

The plight of western farmers is now on record.

It will be interesting to see if the Diperals (the combination of the NDP dippers who prop up this Liberal minority government) will take any action and come and see for themselves.

FROM WHERE I SIT: A Thanksgiving to Remember

BY HAZEL ANAKA Have you ever attempted something for all the right reasons and had those actions turn into a cascade of unintended consequences? It just happened to me.

We know that seeing a doctor in person has become a thing of the past and for the most part I think it’s working quite well for simple things like renewing prescriptions. Isn’t it a helluva lot more convenient to have the doctor call you than you driving to wherever to sit in a waiting room forever for a five-minute visit?

So, I was especially glad that my doctor called me while I was combining. I throttled

down the machine so I could hear her when I asked for a prescription renewal and a new prescription for orthotics. I then told her about my mom’s massive stroke. I had always believed that my lower than normal blood pressure was a ‘shield’ against stroke and heart disease. It was time to confirm or correct that theory. She said it offers some protection but there are many other risk factors. She said you can do everything right and still be vulnerable because of family history.

She then asked if I wanted an ultrasound of my carotid arteries.

It seemed like an excellent idea.

My appointment at a Fort Saskatchewan lab was Friday. The test was totally comfortable. I took the occasional whooshing sound of blood flowing as a very good sign. Ultrasound is really a small miracle and of course, this kid doesn’t remotely grasp the science of how and why it works. It’s also the tool that allows parents to hear fetal heartbeats and see the growth

sure you’ll feel better.

Would you like some water? A cold cloth for your forehead? I may be feeling sick to my stomach but I don’t forget my manners or appearances.

You must need this room, I say. Yes. You could sit in the waiting room so the receptionist could keep an eye on you. I don’t want to be a spectacle, I say. We don’t want to tuck you away in a room by yourself.

Twenty or more minutes into this horror, I ask for an ambulance and call my people. In the back of my mind, I wondered what an ambulance

would cost when the ride was less than three blocks long. Yet, I could see no alternative. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t drive. I couldn’t imagine a cab driver as much help. So, an ambulance it was, with three attendants no less. Every bump and jar, every dry heave, every movement of my head was horrible.

So, about seven hours after getting to the Fort, Hilary was driving me home. The ECG, bloodwork, vitals, urinalysis, and even CT of my head were all “unremarkable” which in doctor jargon is good news. I slept for

about eleven hours and woke up Saturday feeling steadier but far from normal. A couple doses of Gravol, moving very gingerly, and resting got me through the day. By Sunday evening, I was pretty well back to normal. And really gobsmacked that some small proactive gesture to safeguard my health turned into such suffering. I’m not sure the suffering was worth the comfort and consolation of ‘unremarkable’ test results. At any rate, it was a long weekend to remember, from where I sit.

Disaster relief OK’d for Lamont County residents

BY JOHN MATHER Residents of Lamont County who had their farms or homes affected by the heavy rainfalls of the spring can now apply for disaster relief from the province.

In one of his last acts as municipal affairs minister Kacee Madu on August 7 established the 2020 East Central Alberta Flood Disaster Recovery Program for several areas of the province including Lamont County.

Lamont County residents and businesses that suffered uninsurable damages as a result of flooding are able to apply to the Alberta G o v e r n m e n t at www.alberta.ca/drp u ntil December 23, 2020.

of their fetus. My technician seemed very knowledgeable. When I asked if the beard hanging below his mask was an extra Covid filter, he said it was his Covid beard.

He’d stopped shaving when the lockdown happened and was intent on letting it grow until Covid was gone, despite his wife hating it. He hinted that my test was all good even though he wasn’t supposed to tell me. He didn’t want me worrying all long weekend. I was grateful.

The problems began when I tried sitting up. I was nauseated and dizzy; I’d never felt anything like that in my life.

Funny how removing your mask is okay when you reach for a garbage can to puke into.

Apparently, this reaction is not that uncommon. I had been in a supine (lying face up) position with my head lowered for about twenty minutes. He’d applied some pressure to properly see the two branches of each carotid artery and the smaller ones feeding into it.

Just sit here and I’m

Mundare receives additional funds to battle Covid costs

BY JOHN MATHER Mundare is eligible for $91,273 under the Municipal Operating Support Transfer program. The program is a joint effort from the province and the federal government.

“It’s designed to help offset any costs incurred through costs associated with the pandemic,” said CAO Colin Zyla. “It deals with expenses and lost revenue. Any funds not used should be

returned to the government.”

He said it would cover costs of masks and sanitizers purchased by the town. He further thought the town may be eligible to put in a claim for lost revenue from Ukrainia Park under the program, but he did want to check this further.

Saric asked if nonprofits supported by the town could qualify for any funding, and Zyla replied he didn’t think so

but he would be seeking clarification.

When asked by Irene Talaga if the amount awarded to the town would cover its costs Zyla replied it would and they would probably have a surplus to return.

“The only real expenses we’ve incurred is buying things like masks and sanitizers and the lost revenue from the park,” he said. “It seems to be pretty liberal in

Frank Rosypal was sworn in as the Town of Mundare’s newest councillor Oct. 6 at the beginning of the regular council meeting by Mayor Mike Saric. Rosypal was elected in early September to fill the vacant seat following the resignation of former councillor Jaime Burghardt.

what you can claim but I doubt we’d use it up.”

He further stated it could be used to cover some lost taxes due to businesses closing because of Covid.

Newly minted councillor Frank Rosypal asked if the cost of moving council from the town office to the MRC could be covered, or if the town spent extra for cleaning services would that be covered.

Zyla said he would

definitely look into that.

During the meeting, Oct. 6, Zyla reported the fees from operating the town campground were nearly $10,000 which far exceeded any budget predictions for the year.

“It’s probably about $8,000 more than anybody could have predicted,” he told the council.

When asked what the reason for this was by Mayor Mike Saric, Zyla responded that there had been a lot of seasonal

construction workers in the areas during the summer and he felt this accounted for the surge in campers.

The Northern Lights Library system reported to council their levy for the next year would be a zero per cent increase.

Zyla told the council that meant the per capita levy would remain at $5.23 for a total cost to the municipality of $4,455.

Mundare councillor Irene Talaga is all smiles as she is sworn in as the town’s Deputy Mayor by Mayor Mike Saric at the beginning of the Oct. 6 council meeting. The Deputy Mayor position is rotated among councillors annually.

Alberta Transportation retained ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. to undertake the engineering of a new bridge structure that will replace the existing Vinca Bridge that carries Highway 38 over the North Saskatchewan River between Bruderheim and Redwater. The existing bridge will remain open during construction of the new bridge.

The Vinca Bridge replacement is required due to the age of the existing bridge and to accommodate oversized and overweight loads destined to Fort McMurray and other northeastern locations.

Stakeholders and interested members of the public are invited to learn more about the bridge replacement project by visiting the project website. Due to risks associated with in-person events and physical distancing protocols in place as a result of COVID-19, there will be no in-person public event for this project.

If you have any questions about the project, please contact Darrell Constantinoff, Stakeholder Engagement Lead at 780-438-9000 or vincabridge@islengineering.com.

U.S. wildfire smoke affects air quality slightly in area

BY JOHN MATHER Smoke from U.S. wildfires drifting into Alberta was the reason given for increased numbers of moderate risk air quality readings during the third quarter, according to the Fort Air Partnership in releasing it third quarter air monitoring results.

There was also one hour of high risk air quality reported at the

Gibbons monitoring station which was attributed to burning of residential yard waste near the monitoring station.

In Bruderheim during the quarter there were 2,134 hours of monitoring and 99.39 per cent of the readings were low with .61percent in the moderate range.

The Elk Island station monitored air quality for

2,086 hours and had low readings for 99.28 per cent of the time and a moderate reading for .72 per cent of the time.

At the Lamont station 2,146 hours were monitored and low readings accounted for 99.39 per cent of them. Moderate readings accounted for .61 per cent of the readings.

nate. Callinoiu took a seat on the school advisory board with Rosypal as the alternate.

Representatives on the Community Adult Learning Committee (CALC) is Rosypal with Kowal as the alternate.

The Community Futures Committee remains with Talaga and she stayed on the Communities in Bloom committee.

Appointed to the newly created Recreation and Parks Board was

Callinoiu with Kowal as the alternate.

Options studied for Bruderheim crosswalk safety

BY JANA SEMENIUK A suggestion by Bruderheim Councillor Wayne Olechow in Aug. to slow down traffic on the street crossing to Bruderheim’s Cosmic Skatepark, is finally getting some traction.

Olechow had expressed concern for children crossing the street due to speeding motorists. “There are still many people driving through there at more than 50 kilometres an hour,� he said. “There are a lot of kids crossing there and people are just not slowing down. I just don’t want to see anyone getting hurt.�

Town chief administrative officer Patty Podoborozny stated that

options are limited. “There is not an option to do a playground zone because we have fencing in place,� she said. “It’s the same reason we could not do a school zone near the school.�

During the most recent council meeting on Oct. 7, Podoborozny was able to supply an update to the situation. “We are looking at some options of putting up some florescent tape or signs on the crossing,� she said. “We are waiting to hear about the MSP funding because one of the projects we submitted for approval is another crossing for the school and we would do both at the same time.�

MSP funding is the Municipal Stimulus

In If roses grow in Heaven Lord o L ving please pick a bunch for me. emory Place them in Vonnie’s arms M of and tell her they’re from me.

Program which was created to help stimulate the economy by funding infrastructure projects in municipalities.

Podoborozny further reported that a meeting with a traffic engineer is in the offing. “We have a meeting with the traffic engineer to talk about options for next year,� she said. “But a lot of municipalities are finding success with the fluorescent tape. The ultimate would be to have the speed board.

That has been proven to work.�

Olechow said he would like to see a more permanent adjustment. “I would like to see the speed dropped to 30 km about 100 feet on both sides,� he said. “The

Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs in Parliament

locally owned community minded family run

Ottawa politics worrying for Stubbs

BY JOHN MATHER The state of Canada’s Federal government has Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs concerned and worried.

“While we didn’t support the throne speech as Conservatives, I did support the bill that extended multiple emergency measures for Covid,” she said. “It was a difficult decisions because I believe millions and millions of dollars are being spent recklessly with no due diligence or oversight by the Liberals.”

She blamed the government for spending while having suspended Parliament House sittings for five months, and stripping the powers of individual MPs including their own members, as well as stripping the powers of committees.

“For the first time in history the auditor general has come out and said his office doesn’t have enough resources to do the job,” she fumed during a meeting with Lamont County officials Oct. 1. “The Liberals care nothing about that.”

“I hear loud and clear from people in my riding about the fiscal implications of spending for the pandemic. While they realize the measures do have to be in place for the people who need it the most they are still worried about the heavy debt load.”

She states because of lack of oversight on the part of the government people are getting money they don’t need while others who need

help the most aren’t getting the proper support.

“And it’s all a result of the prime minister’s reckless actions.

“But that happens when you don’t have oversight … you don’t have debate, and you don’t have accountability.

She said it was very difficult to support the spending bill because “part of me wanted to say enough is enough,” but she added it would have stopped the extension of benefits which many desperate Canadians rely on.

She said the Liberals doing a backroom deal with the NDP at the throne speech was passed and the government is going to remain propped up.

“In this area people want to get rid of the prime minister, but they really don’t want to go to the polls during a pan-

demic,” she said.

Stubbs is not impressed with the agreements being hammered out between the NDP and the Liberals to keep the government in power.

“Who’s running the country is one of the critical comments all Canadians should be asking. One of my colleagues asked if NDP leader Jagmeet Singh had suddenly become the prime minister overnight,” she said.

“And I think that is especially jarring considering in the election when Canadians had a direct say, his party was a colossal failure.”

“It’s all political,” Stubbs said of the decisions made by the NDP. “It not about doing the best for Canadians. It’s not about having a responsible, principled and caring government.”

Long time Bruderheim employees recognized

BY JANA SEMENIUK The town of Bruderheim recognized two of its long serving employees during their most recent council meeting Oct. 7.

Kathleen Mackintosh, a 10-year employee, takes care of most of the recreational services in Bruderheim as well as overseeing students who are employed over the summer.

“Kathleen puts in 100 percent ensuring our

hockey teams are skating on a great sheet of ice,” said Bruderheim Chief Administrative Office Patty Podoborozny. “Kat brings joy to our team with her funny comments and the team enjoys seeing Kat throughout the work week. We are proud to say she is ours.”

In addition, Sherry Cote, Director of Planning and Legislative Services, was also recognized for five years of

service to the town.

“Sherry wears many hats in our office,” said Podoborozny. “She takes care of our planning and development, while also organizing our Communities in Bloom and being an active member of the AG society.”

Both employees received a certificate in appreciation for their hard work and commitment.

Sherry Cote receives a certificate recognizing her five years of service as Bruderheim's Director of Planning and Legislative Services by councillor Pat Lee during the Oct. 7 council meeting on zoom.

Dance studio receives Bruderheim grant for computer and zoom software

BY JANA SEMENIUK An application submitted by a Bruderheim business, Expressions Dance Studio, for a $1,000 grant from Bruderheim’s Community Investment Program prompted a strong discussion among Bruderheim council members during the Oct. 7 council meeting.

The application was made in hopes of supporting the purchase of a computer and zoom software for the studio to enable dancers to access classes when in-person attending was not possible.

“I have a concern. The Expressions Dance Studio is a business as opposed to the AG society or the seniors club (as non-profits),” said councillor Pat Lee. “I think this will open the door to town businesses to apply. I don’t think this application qualifies as this fund is set up for

non-profits and charitable organizations, not businesses.”

Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny explained that the dance studio provided a needed service for the town.

“We review all applications and we believe that with not a lot going on in our community over the winter and it’s a small amount to provide some recreation opportunities for our young citizens,” she said. “When you look at what we spent on the arena to open it up for young citizens we thought this was a small request.”

Deputy Mayor Judy Schueler added that the dance studio has been successful applicants of the program funding in the past.

“We did give the dance studio a grant for other stuff. Even though they are a business they run as a non-profit,” she said.

“I mean they don’t charge for their studio; they charge only for their teachers. So, they aren’t making money, but they do keep the kids busy.”

Lee still felt the issue was opening a door.

“I do know businesses in town that could utilize this small amount of money. It’s a slippery slope and I do know of one business in town that went above and beyond to help our residents during COVID so it’s not right to me,” she said.

The application from the dance studio was approved with councillors Pat Lee and George Campbell opposing.

In addition to the approval of the application from Expressions Dance Studio, the Bruderheim AG society and the Bruderheim Senior’s Centre were also successful applicants of the BCIP grant. Each organization was

approved for $1,000 with the AG society investing their grant into technology for their organization while the senior’s club will put their funding towards improving safety features in the senior centre.

The Bruderheim On Thursday, October 1, 2020, Helen Uskiw of M u n d a r e / Ve g r e v i l l e , Alberta passed away at the age of 97 years.

Helen is survived by one son Fred (Adeline) and their sons Trace and Ian; one daughter Sharon (Vern) Bohaychuk and their children Christal (Randy) Jenkins, Jamie and Justin (Summer); she is also survived by her deceased son Bill’s daughter Lisa (Jason) Meyer; nine great-grandchildren; brother Bill (Olga) Rawluk; sister-in-law Edna Rawluk.

Helen was predeceased by her husband Nick; son Bill; parents Alex and Annie Rawluk; brother Tommy Rawluk and

Community Investment Program (BCIP) funds are available to support community projects or events that benefit Bruderheim and its residents. According to the town website, eligibility requirements include being a registered nonUSKIW, Helen (Elaine) June 6, 1923 – October 1, 2020

grandson Edward Uskiw.
