The time is now.

As in NOW, “Now Open to the World,” Lamont County’s new brand brand and economic development website was officially launched on Oct. 14th.

Lamont County communications coordinator Heather Atkinson, led a virtual tour of the new website for members of council and special

guests during a special presentation last Tuesday afternoon.

Also on hand for the launch were Jolene and Kevin Kisilevich of The Marketer who helped with design and implementation of the new logo and website. Other special guests included: Doug Sullivan, executive director of the Lamont County Regional Economic Development Initiative, Bob Bezpalko, executive director of Alberta HUB, Neil

Shelley, executive director of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association, and Curtis Bauer from ATCO Energy Solutions.

Jim Newman, manager of economic development for Lamont County, unveiled two banners highlighting the new logo and all that the municipality has to offer.

“A brand is a promise, and now is the time to let the world know that Lamont County is open and ready for business.”

Atkinson said, “The purpose of this site is to be a gateway to the economic development in our county. It is intended to open up Lamont County internationally, to answer all the questions potential developers might have, quickly and easily. The site demonstrates why Lamont County is a viable, and even advantageous, location for development.

One of the neatest links, added Newman, is

the available property link which is easy to download and print and includes: land holdings, pipelines, facilities, etc.

Newman says economic development will play a major part in the sustainability of Lamont County and surrounding communities, and he stressed the importance of municipalities working together and balancing the economic, social and environmental needs of people living in those communities.

Under the available property category, it states: “Lamont County has a wide variety of land available throughout the Heartland Industrial Area, zoned for heavy industrial use.

Some land owners have let their interest in selling their property be known to the county, and have authorized us to share their property information with industry and realtors. These listing can be found individually.

Lamont County one of 37 municipalities in Alberta to make illegal donations to PC Party Michelle Pinon Editor

Unearthing of information by the Wildrose party has uncovered that 37 municipalities and four post secondary institutions made illegal donations to the PC Party.

One of those municipalities listed was Lamont County, and was cited for making illegal donations between 2006 and 2008 to the Ed Stelmach Golf Tournament.

Wildrose leader Danielle Smith stated in a press release distributed on Thursday, Oct. 16 that a total of $102,000 in hidden, illegal donations were made between 2004 and 2010 from taxpayer funded entities like municipalities, post secondary schools and school boards. “These are prohibited corporations under Alberta election laws,” stated Smith.

In response Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski stated, “In 2006-2008 some council-

lors, staff and I attended the Ed Stelmach Golf Tournament. Our financial records indicate that while the registration fees for the 2007 tournament were initially paid for by Lamont County, the $1,400 paid in June 2007 was reimbursed to the county by the Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville PC Association in January 2008. Efforts are being made by our staff to ensure the remaining funds are recovered from those who attended the tournament.

Lamont County would like to apologize for this oversight, and assure our ratepayers that errors of this nature will not occur in the future.”

Lamont County communications coordinator Heather Atkinson said that there is still a question of the fees from 2006 and 2008. “Therefore, everyone who attended in those years are being invoiced and will be repaying those funds.”

The Wildrose party has also written to Chief Electoral Officer Glen Resler and provided him with over 2,200 pages of

Forr alll yourr reall estatee needs

Office 780-764-4007

documents which detail 238 instances of improper donations from 41 different “prohibited organizations” which are not allowed to directly or indirectly fund political parties.

The Wildrose also called on Premier and PC

leader Jim Prentice to direct his party to reimburse taxpayers for the full value of these illegal donations. “This is taxpayer money. It does not belong in a political party’s bank account,” Smith said.

The Wildrose sought

out information after the PCs passed a law in 2012 prohibiting Elections Alberta from being able to disclose illegal donations received prior to 2010.

The Wildrose made FOIP requests to municipalities, school boards

Local charities benefit from Reeve’s Golf Tournament Michelle Pinon Editor

Two local organizations had a stroke of good fortune last week.

Both the Lamont County Housing Foundation and the Lamont County Food Bank received cheques from members of Lamont County council on Oct. 14th.

The housing foundation received $15,000 and the food bank received $1,000 as benefactors of the first annual Lamont

County Reeve’s Golf Tournament that was held on Aug. 26th at the Whitetail Crossing Golf Course in Mundare.

The inaugural tourney was an economic development initiative, and the brainchild of Jim Newman, manager of economic development for Lamont County.

The tournament was originally slated for June, but had to be rescheduled due to rain. All in all 22 teams participated in the event, with many representatives from industry.

Missing person case opened Michelle Pinon Editor

RCMP Sgt. Doug Coleman is searching for answers.

The member of the To f i e l d R C M P detachment is hoping someone in this area may have information into the disappearance of Lori Lee Kasprick.

“We are currently investigating a missLori Lee Kasprick

ing person case from the mid-1970’s. Lori Lee Kasprick was last seen at that time,” stated Sgt. Coleman in a media release on Friday, Oct. 17th.

Sgt. Coleman said Kasprick was from Hilliard, and was attending Mundare School when last seen.

“She had family in Holden as well, and may have also been to the Tofield area. She was born in 1961 and was taller, dark hair and brown eyes. I would also like to hear of anyone who may have known her and hung out with her.”

Sgt. Coleman did say that, “Her family has looked for information on her over the years, and now the matter is a missing person investigation.”

Investigators are still working to narrow down as close to an exact date that she went missing so they will be able to provide age at time of disappearance. Information indicates Kasprick may have been in either Grade 8 or 9 in Mundare School when last in the area. “We are looking for information from friends and associates at the time that may assist in locating her.”

If you have any information, please contact Tofield RCMP at 780-662-3352.

Opinion

Canada should consider Aussies’ work for social assistance program Sometimes the simplest ideas are staring you right in the face, and yet you still can’t see them. I believe the country of Australia might be on to something, and it seems so obvious I can’t believe the idea has never been implemented here.

The Aussies have introduced a “Work for Welfare” program in which people receiving welfare will be required to make 40 job applications every month. So basically, if you are on welfare it is now your job to try to get off welfare. Brilliant.

But that’s only part of the plan. The second part is “Volunteer for Welfare” in which someone on welfare is also required to spend up to 25 hours a week volunteering in a community program.

Even more brilliant.

In today’s world, people are so busy being parents and taking their kids to activities that benefit their growth mentally, socially and athletically, that it cuts into the number of volunteers available. Service clubs and community activities always seem to lack people with their hands in the air ready to help out.

The idea of working as a volunteer to receive welfare can fill a great deal of these volunteering vacancies, but also can give the recipient a whole lot of gratification in actually “earning” a living. As well, welfare recipients would find themselves networking with people rather than being holed-up at home.

I am pretty sure this could translate into the requirements for someone on EI as well.

If so, suddenly our society could be over-run with people available to help out our presently over-worked volunteers and community organizers before they quit due to fatigue.

Networking combined with dozens of job applications will increase the chance of someone finding value in hiring one of these people. The recipients who desperately want to work will appreciate the opportunities this will present. The ones who really don’t want to work may end up preferring a job over the hard work that not having a job presents.

Letter to the Editor Tarnished legacy of tireless volunteer Conrad Schinkinger deeply wounds family His beloved Agriculture Society thrown off the very memorial grounds named in his honour We, the Schinkinger family are submitting this letter to express our tremendous disappointment with the Town of Lamont’s decision to terminate their agreement with the Lamont Agricultural Society resulting in the removal and relocation of the Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds.

These are the very grounds that the beloved patriarch of our family, Conrad Schinkinger, worked tirelessly to construct and maintain for many years.

Conrad was a pivotal member of the Lamont Agricultural Society for over 25 years. It was his love and knowledge of rodeos that helped bring the Lamont Summer Sizzler Rodeo to life in the early 1990s.

It was also his idea to create the Lamont Bullarama Supreme in 1993. Conrad worked endlessly to promote both of these events and

think of new ways to make them the successful events they have continued to be today. We have greatly appreciated the Lamont Agricultural Society’s current members and their continued commitment to these events. Conrad’s volunteer spirit has been carried on and continues to thrive within the Agricultural Society, to whom we are immensely grateful.

We as a family know first hand the commitment Conrad had to these events and to those rodeo grounds. He spent many long hours perfecting the grounds and the Bullarama ring. Every year he would come home and be completely exhausted, but all the while he knew it was worth it to bring a successful event to life in our small community.

Those rodeo grounds were his pride and joy.

On July 25, 2008 Conrad was busy preparing for

Michelle Pinon Editor

one of his favourite rodeo events, the “mutton bustin” when he was suddenly taken from us.

When the Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds were unveiled on July 24, 2009 - all of those years of hard work were honoured and respected. Our family was gratified in knowing that his legacy was going to live on for many years to come.

We cannot understand how after years of the Town and the Ag. Society working together to produce events for the betterment of our community - it has suddenly come to an end? If Conrad were here today, he would have been extremely upset that it has come to this.

We know that in their new location, the Lamont Agricultural Society will continue to thrive and be a vital part of our community. Our wish is that the Conrad Schinkinger Memorial

Grounds goes wherever the Ag. Society goes, but in our hearts we know that it will not be the same. It will not be the actual grounds our husband, father and grandfather worked so hard for. It will be heartbreaking to see those signs removed and know that we won’t be able to tell Conrad’s grandchildren that those are the rodeo grounds their Papa helped make.

We want to say shame on the Town of Lamont for not trying to work together with the Lamont Ag. Society and instead hinder their ability to succeed. All egos and feuds aside, it should be remembered that a man was honoured for his remarkable volunteer work and now that honour has been tarnished. We as a family will be forever disappointed.

Valentine’s Cup organizers get sweetheart of a deal from Lamont town council Michelle Pinon Editor

There will be cause for celebration for organizers of the upcoming 40th annual Valentine’s Cup recreational hockey tournament in Lamont from February 9-15, 2015.

Following a presentation to members of town council by Valentine’s Cup (V-Cup) representative Jody Foulds on Oct. 14th, members of Lamont town council passed a motion to grant organizers up to $5,000 to be used to offset rental costs of the ice, meeting room and hall during the week long event.

It was coun. Dave Taylor, also a member of the V-Cup Committee, who made the motion.

Coun. Gail Hrehorets noted that the motion does set a precedent, and to keep that in mind if other service groups approach council for funding.

According to the donations requests from clubs, organizations and others policy; which was formally passed on Sept.

10, 2013, council will consider monetary or non-monetary donations

to non-profit clubs, organizations or events within the local community when hosting their milestone achievements in the Town of Lamont.

These milestone achievements are defined as celebrating 25, 50, 75, 100 years and increments of 25 years thereafter. Both monetary and non-monetary donations are at the discretion of town council.

According to the policy, “All requests must be written and submitted to council for approval.

Council will decide what is fair and equitable as per written request submitted to council for consideration.”

The policy also allows the chief administrative officers to authorize door prizes to clubs and organizations not to

Church h Calendar For more information call 780-895-2780

exceed $100 for fundraising events.

Funds to cover the donation will be taken out of 2015 budget funds.

According to Foulds, the 40th annual Valentine’s Cup will feature expanded events and activities to mark the momentous occasion.

One of the features will include a charity hockey game with members of the CFCW Critters, silent auction, an Alumni game featuring as many of the original members that are still able to play, 50/50 draw, beer gardens, banquet and dance.

Any, and all, funds raised from the event will stay in the community, Foulds pointed out.

“With this in mind, the V-Cup committee is pro-

posing to commit these funds to the arena for the purchase and installation of new doors for the arena entrance, with accessible electric openers. This will greatly enhance the access for entering and leaving the arena for not only persons with a disability, but for youth and families with hockey gear in tow.”

V-Cup committee members are just in the process of attaining sponsors for the event, and each member has their own areas of responsibilities. Committee members are: Jody Foulds, Mike Martz, Jason Fedyniak, Dave Tayor, Bryan Janssen and Brent Marler.

$1.6 million lagoon wastewater expansion project underway Michelle Pinon Editor

The Town of Lamont’s wastewater lagoon expansion project was formally adopted by council on Oct. 14th.

Council unanimously approved a motion to award the project tender to Noyen Construction in the amount of $1,695,600. The town received a $1.6 million grant, and the remainder will come from the town’s funds.

Noyen Construction submitted the lowest bid out of nine companies which bid on the project.

The highest bid was made by Rock Hard Contractors, and came in at $2,693,723.

According to Bob Hanewich, municipal manager for Select Engineering, the implementation of the overall plan will take place within the next five years.

Select Engineering is the firm which provides contracted services to the Town of Lamont, and Hanewich stated they have worked with

Noyen in the past and recommended the municipality award the company the contract.

Hanewich also stated that no excavation will take place on the site until Alberta Environment has approved the wet land compression agreement.

In a letter to Alberta Environment, Hanewich said that while the Town of Lamont fully supports the protection of wetlands, but as a growing community it is actively improving, updating, and increasing its infrastructure to meet the needs of the existing population as well as make provisions for future growth.

Hanewich went on to say, “The expansion of the sewage lagoon is required to meet current environmental standards for sanitary sewer treatment.

“The proposed lagoon expansion is limited by the amount of land available to the town, and unfortunately the expansion lands include a 3.9 hectare wetland. With

replacement ratio of 3:1, 11.7 hectares of wetland restoration/compensation is required.”

Restoration efforts will include planting of native trees and vegetation. “The vegetation will be planted along the existing drainage pattern which extends approximately one kilometre between Highway 553 and Highway 831, and along the existing storm water management facility located within the town’s major park.”

There will also be a plan to enhance the wetland around the existing storm water pond in order to attract waterfowl and wildlife using native grasses and other wetland species.

Any future residential development will be encouraged by town council to incorporate the development of wetlands with any storm water management plan.

Town council will also be encouraging local schools to include wetland educational programs such as field trips to the enhanced ponds and drainage swales, added Hanewich.

Another part of the plan, which was formally adopted at the Oct. 14 council meeting was the passing of a new water conservation policy. As stated in the Water Conservation Policy, “all new residential and applicable commercial or industrial development will be required to install low flow toilets (average flush of six litres or less), and showers (not to exceed 9.5 litres per minute).

Old Mundare Hospital goes up for sale Michelle Pinon Editor

One of Mundare’s most notable landmarks is up for sale.

Realtor Shannon Kowal said she has a lot of interest in the property since she listed it back on June 23rd.

“I’ve had half a dozen serious buyers,” stated Kowal, with a variety of ideas as to how they would plan to transform the space that is listed at $572,000 and served as an active hospital between 1930 and 1978 in the community.

“I probably won’t sell another property like this,” added Kowal, who said the property has been so well maintained over the years by its owners the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate.

The three acre parcel on 5205 Polomark Drive is actually located in Lamont County. It is listed as a commercial property, built in 1929, and comprises a total of 12,700 square feet.

In the listing it describes the former hospital as a unique two storey complex which is a combination of living accommodations, meetings rooms and offices.

“In addition, there is an old 800 square foot bungalow style residence with a two car garage that comes with the property. The property enjoys almost three acres of land consisting of beautiful landscape

and gardens. There is a current tenant leasing a quarter of the main floor for $300 per month.”

Kowal said the possibilities are endless when it comes to converting the facility into whatever a buyer is envisioning. “It has been so well cared for and maintained,” stressed Kowal, that it really is a gem for the right buyer.

The Mundare General Hospital has the distinction of being the first Ukrainian hospital in Canada. The site was blessed by His Excellency Bishop Ladyka OSBM on September 22, 1929.

The official opening was held on May 29, 1930.

The first Administrator was Sister Gertrude, and the Director of Nursing was Sister Macrina. The cost of the completed hosptial was $37,863, and with furnishing and equipment $39,932.

According to the local history book, “The Sisters unreservedly implemented the philosophy of Catholic hospitals: to recognize man’s unique composition of body, soul, spirit, and hence to embrace the concept of total care of the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of every patient.”

It was observed by Rev. A. Luhovy that, “in this small country hospital the Sisters performed a multitude of compassionate deeds that must have delighted Christ the healer. The

fruitful healing ministry and their effective management of the hospital was noted also by the American Hospital Association, for in 10 years they obtained accreditation under the Hospital Standardization Program of the American Hospital Association.”

The first patient to be admitted to the hospital was John Franchuk on December 20, 1929. The first surgery was performed by Dr. N.C. Strilchuk, assisted by Dr. J. Yakimischak, (appendectomy, patient Mr. O. Filevich). The first baby delivered was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Fedoruk on January 31, 1930. In May 1930 Father B. Kamenecky OSBM celebrated the first Divine Liturgy in the hospital chapel.

There were many pivotal moments in the hospital’s illustrious history, and served Mundare and area residents very well until it closed in 1979. A brand new one level, thirty bed unit hospital which contained six private and 12 semi-private rooms with active and extended care facilities and services was located and built next door to the old hospital.

But underneath all of the bricks and mortar was the lifeblood of the operation, the Sisters Servant of Mary Immaculate who vacated the hospital in 2012.

• 1929 - The Mundare General Hospital was built, Canada’s first Ukrainian hospital. It was possible through the tireless effort of the Sisters, but also thanks to the sacrifice and hard work of the first pioneers - the Pastors, Sisters and community members.

• Depression years - The hospital

struggled to survive, but the health care ministry managed to flourish under the expertise and dedication of the Sisters and Dr. Strilchuk.

• 1979 - A new 30 bed Mary Immaculate Hospital was built next door to replace the timeworn and inadequate facility.

Wounded Warriors Canada Announces 2015 Battlefield Bike Ride Canadians will cycle nearly 600km from Vimy Ridge to Nijmegen in commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands Wounded Warriors Canada is proud to announce that they will host their second annual Battlefield Bike Ride.

The 2015 Battlefield Bike Ride (BBR15) will begin where their inaugural ride concluded this summer, at the iconic Vimy Ridge Memorial.

The ride, covering nearly 600 km, will take Canadians through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands visiting historic Canadian battlefields and memorials that played a significant role in not only liberating Europe, but also in defining Canada as a nation.

The ride will pass through sites including Passchendaele, Flanders, and the Menin Gate before shifting focus to the critical role Canadian troops played in liberating the Netherlands, and ultimately, Europe.

As the world marks the 70th Anniversary of VE Day and the Liberation of the Netherlands, riders will trace the route of the Canadian Army through the Scheldt estuary as they pushed their way through heavy opposi-

tion on the path to Victory.

The ride will culminate in Nijmegen.

The participants, composed of Canadians from all walks of life, will be fundraising in support of the life changing programs Wounded Warriors Canada funds nationally to assist of Canada's ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members and their families.

Scott Maxwell, Executive Director of Wounded Warriors Canada, commented, "This summer, in France, we witnessed the incredible impact our Battlefield Bike Ride had on Canadians.

“These events bring us together as one, commemorating our military history while raising awareness and funds to support the life changing programs we fund across Canada."

The 2015 Battlefield Bike Ride is open to all Canadians and registration begins on Monday, Oct. 27th.

For complete ride information visit: www.bbr15.ca Wounded Warriors Canada is a non-profit organization that helps Canadian Armed Forces members (regular force, reservists, or retired) who have been wounded or injured in their service to Canada.

Warm fall weather creates colourful foliage After a rude jolt of snow officially ending Alberta’s summer, the warmer fall weather has extended the opportunity to view colourful foliage.

Usually limited to a short time frame this year’s, warmer daytime

and night-time highs have allowed trees to keep their leaves longer, and have made for some very spectacular tree colours.

With Monday’s daytime high forecast over 20 degrees, Albertans are taking advantage of the

warm days to get out and enjoy the view!

EATC Continued from EXTRA Page 4

The conference was held primarily in Del Rio, whose sister-city in Mexico is Acuna, James says that during the meeting portion in Acuna, the mayor of that community also signed a MOU of membership in Ports to Plains.

Ports to Plains is actively seeking new membership in Saskatchewan, Mexico, and the US; the organization currently is well supported in Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, and North and South Dakota.

James says that these areas all share a commonality with Energy and Agriculture the driving forces in local economies. “The kind of people we have found are all hard-working, and honest, who understand that with hard work, anything can be achieved.”

He says Ports to Plains members have told him that the EATC organization is similar to what theirs was 15 years ago.

“What it all comes down to is that we are trying to put tools in the hands of our members.

“We are advocating for our regions in all levels of government, and making sure investors are ready when development opportunities are presented,” says James.

“We are putting businesses in Alberta together with other countries.

Our relationship with the Ports to Plains Trade Corridor Alliance connects us with like-minded people in several US states and in Mexico.

Business in eastern Alberta has the opportunity to capitalize on this.”

He said there are many procurement and business opportunities available already, and sees the potential for these types of opportunities to continue to increase.

One of the projects identified by the EATC is the expansion of the USA/Alberta port of Wild Horse to 24-hour operation.

“I think if you want your community to continue for years to come, you have to be open to some kind of controlled

economic growth opportunities,” says James.

“If your community does not want to entertain growth, you may not have to worry about it for too long, because that community may not survive” Ports to Plains, EATC, and BRAED, are organizations focused on economic development opportunities for member communities.

“We will be successful only if member communities are engaged in their local organization, and take advantage of the opportunities pre-

sented.

“We are very much a grassroots organization.”

James says Flagstaff communities are very supportive of BRAED. In a recent blog post, he said, “Eastern Alberta has a lot to offer in terms of services, land prices, great communities & quality of life.

“The EATC project allows us to tell our story to a broad audience, and gives our members and their respective business communities additional tools to grow.”

When is the best time to pre-plan your funeral?

The best time to begin making your prearrangements is NOW, while you’re thinking about it. While some people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may think it’s too early to preplan, people who do say that prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren’t leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional distress. This checklist will help you make sure every detail is tended to: 1) 2)

RCMP focus on occupant restraint for October October is Occupant Restraint Safety month and the RCMP will be partnering with other local organizations to ensure that the general public is complying with all Occupant Restraint laws.

According to the Alberta Motor Association “the use of a seat belt is perhaps the most effective way of reducing injury severity and likelihood of fatalities among vehicle occupants involved in a crash.

In a large number of fatal crashes in Alberta, the victims were not wearing seat belts.

Canadian statistics show that 40 per cent of those killed and 20 per cent of those injured on Canada’s roads do not use seat belts.”

When a vehicle stops suddenly in a crash, any unrestrained articles or people continue traveling at the same speed until they hit the dashboard, windshield or another object inside the vehicle.

Seat belts prevent death and serious injuries to occupants of light duty motor vehicles in potentially fatal collisions 39 to 60 per cent of the time.

This varies depending on the type and size of vehicle and where the person is seated.

Seat belts are designed to fit adults, not children!

The proper use of a child seat has been shown to reduce the likelihood of a child being injured or killed in a crash by as much as 75 per cent.

According to the law in Alberta, it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure the passengers under 16 years of age are buckled up correctly.

For children under 40 lbs (18 kg) or under 6 years of age, the law states the following: ·An appropriate child seat must be used. ·The child safety seat must be correctly installed in the vehicle. ·The child must be properly secured into the seat.

Key resources include: ·The instructions that came with their child safety or booster seat.

·The instructions contained in their vehicle owners manual. ·A series of Child Safety Seat YES Tests – rear-facing, forward facing or booster seat-that are self-check tools for choosing, installing and

using a child safety seat or booster seat.

Infants and children rely on their parents and caregivers to make every ride a safe ride.

Using available resources, parents and caregivers can make sure

they have the right seat and are using it correctly every time.

RCMP request that all drivers take responsibility for not only their safety but for the safety of everyone who are using our highways.

Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor participates in international economic development conference in Texas Leslie Cholowsky The Community Press

Bud James, Chairman of the Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor (EATC), attended the 17th annual Ports to Plains Conference, held in Del Rio, Texas, and Acuna, Mexico Oct. 7 through 9.

The Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor is a joint initiative of three Regional Economic Development Alliances (REDAs) in Eastern Alberta, including BRAED, Alberta HUB, and the Palliser Economic Partnership, and represents the region of eastern Alberta from the Coutts and Wild Horse border towns in the south, to the Cold Lake and Athabasca Oil Sands region.

James is the former

chair of BRAED, and current Mayor of Killam.

James says the EATC steering committee of nine has been hard at work, recently they have developed a three-year strategic plan and their one-year business plan, with a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by all three REDAs. The nine members of the steering committee represent two executives from each READ as well as the directors of all three.

Recently the EATC has received the support of Alberta Innovations and Advanced Education in the form of a two-year appointment of Executive Director Elvira Smid, with her compensation covered by the province, and grant funding to cover travel expenses. “This is such a

vote of confidence from the province,” said James.

James said during the conference, EATC also signed a MOU with the Ports to Plains organization, giving EATC full membership, along with the 80 member-communities who make up the three REDAs.

James has also been appointed to the Board of Directors of Ports to Plains, he says other board members include business people and elected officials from Alberta, and from the Ports to Plains organization members in the USA. See EATC EXTRAP5

Stelmach home moved to its permanent site Michelle Pinon Editor

The Canadian story of the Stelmach family is one they are most proud of, and members are more than happy to be able to tell Albertans, Canadians and people from all over the world.

One significant piece of family history that will have to wait a few more years to been viewed and experienced by visitors at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village (UCHV), is the Stelmach home.

A few short weeks ago the home of Ukrainian pioneers Mykola (Nicholas) and Dora (Theodora) Stelmach was relocated from the UCHV restoration compound to its permanent location on the grounds near the Visitor Reception Centre.

Back in July, Jim Nakonechny, a heritage conservation technologist with Alberta Culture’s Conservation and Construction Services, gave the Lamont Leader a sneak peak behind the lathe and plaster. Peter Caron, a contractor with The Housewright, was also on site to provide some insights and share his excitement about the log home that was built in 1915.

The couple were married and sold all of their belongings and immigrated to Canada, arriving in Winnipeg on April 20, 1898. They arrived in Strathcona (now Edmonton) via the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The book went on to state, “On April 25, 1898, Nicholas applied for a homestead and was given NE 6-57-17 W4.

Holy Spirit guides art exhibit in Mundare

Michelle Pinon Editor

Moved by the Spirit: Artistic Interpretations on the Life of Jesus has travelled throughout Canada, and will be on display in Mundare until November 5.

“I’m very proud to have the exhibit at the Basilian Fathers Museum,” stated associate director and curator Karen Lemiski.

Moved by the Spirit brings together artists of different faith perspectives who invite visitors to take a journey through some of the significant events in the life of Jesus. The exhibit is curated by participating artist Louise Tessier who states: “This group exhibition brings together twelve artists working in clay, wood, textiles, paper, glass, painting, jewellery and iconography. Each artist has interpreted an event in the life of Jesus within his or her own artistic style and through his or her own faith experience.”

Tessier also said she encourages everyone visiting the exhibition to use it as a “means of spiritual enrichment both personally and within their church communities.”

Lemiski says people can either view the exhibit during regular hours or make an appointment

through the museum’s office. She adds that some of the pieces in the collection are also available for sale until the exhibit closes.

Since July of 2011, Moved by the Spirit has toured 10 different communities throughout Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and Ohio.

Lamont County offers competitive rates and an excellent benefits package. This competition will remain open until 4:00 p.m. October 31st, 2014.

County will be deferring the decision on the tenders until further information is available regarding funding for the projects. A decision will be made before the tenders expire on November 1, 2014.
