Convoluted.That is one of the

words being used todescribe a predicamentLamont County current-ly finds itself in.

The scenario involvesseveral different parties,but one clear definitivefact, that the municipali-ty is still holding the bagfor a $96,000 bill forinstallation of a commu-nications tower.

Back in 2010 the coun-ty applied for a federalgovernment grant whichwas administered by theprovince. The grant wasto be applied to the pur-chase and construction

of a communicationstower located atTownship Road 544 andSecondary Highway 855near Mundare.

Reeve WayneWoldanski said during afollow up telephoneinterview that the totalcost of the project wasaround $180,000 and itwas his understandingthat because Westcanwas both the serviceprovider and the compa-ny which installed theequipment and tower,they were billed on thesame invoices, and notseparately, which led toconfusion in regards tothe timelines. He said thedistinction was not madeclear to the people who

looked after the grantapplication either.

While the countyreceived certification,along with the date ofinstillation proving itwas before the deadlineof the grant application,the monies were notturned over to the coun-ty.

Volunteering is aninvestment in a commu-nity, and one that paysoff dividends in the longrun.

Those were some ofthe words BruderheimMayor Karl Hauch con-veyed to audience mem-bers during the annualvolunteer appreciationevent April 26.

The names of volun-teers were printed oncandles and displayedon the walls of theBruderheim MemorialCentre to pay tribute toeach and every one ofthem in the community,.

For the first time ever,each community organi-zation and its memberswho were in attendancewere asked to go onstage to be formally rec-ognized and were pre-sented with a certificateon behalf of the Town ofBruderheim.

Hauch concluded thecelebration by thankingthe volunteers onceagain.

One of the volunteersin attendance was JillianMelnick, President of theLioness Club, who suc-cessfully manages to jug-gle a busy family andvolunteering.

The mother of threetook time recently to talkabout the Lioness Cluband some of the otherprojects and activitiesshe’s been involved withsince moving to the com-munity four years ago.

Volunteering was a bigpart of her life growingup in Calgary as her par-ents were very involvedin sports and neighbour-hood activities, andMelnick likes to thinkshe’s helping raise thenext generation of vol-unteers, who will followin her footsteps.

“Three of our fivemembers have kids, andwe make things work.”Melnick has also foundextra helping hands forthe club’s annualfundraiser. She woulddefinitely like to seesome new faces getinvolved in the club andcommunity. “We try todo our part. We’re not abig club; but we hope tobe.”

Letter to the Editor

(This is an open letter to theGovernment of Alberta written byCarolyn Pogue)

Dear Hungry Child,It has come to our attention that your

lunch bag is frequently empty and thatyou often go to school without break-fast. We’re sorry about that. We inAlberta have a lot of money but wemust be careful with it. Money doesn’tgrow on trees, you know. And don’tget me started on raising taxes. Theadults we know don’t believe in shar-ing like that. But money isn’t the realissue anyway.

We know that people in other partsof Canada and in the world provide

healthy food for hungry kids. But ourapproach is uniquely Albertan. We areworking hard on the question of WHYyou can’t bring your own lunch toschool. We diligently seek answers tothis question.

For example, you may not havelunch because the shelters were fulland you slept in a car last night. Mostcars don’t have kitchens so that couldexplain it.

Or, you might have been couch surf-ing with your mom because your dadis scary when he drinks; everyone justforgot to pack a lunch for you.

Or maybe your parents are workingtwo minimum wage jobs and slept in.

Or, maybe they had to choose

between paying the rent and buyingfood. I don’t know your reason, butthere must be an answer. We havemany highly paid folks working onthis. Rest assured; we take your situa-tion seriously.

We hold meetings with importantpeople. We make charts and publishslick booklets. We have websites, links,phone numbers, everything. We arebusy doing very important work. All onyour behalf.

You see, we are concerned aboutyour welfare and your future. After all,if things work out well for you, youmight grow up and become one of us.If they don’t, you may grow up tobecome a gang member, school

dropout, suicide statistic, career crimi-nal or suffer chronic illness.

Or, maybe you won’t grow up at all.Do you see that there is a lot riding onthe answer to why you don’t havelunch? See how worried we are aboutthis?

I hope that a student will share lunchwith you today or that your teacherwill bring food from home or some vol-unteer will make you a sandwich. Thatwould be nice, wouldn’t it?

I must end now. I have an importantlunch meeting; I can’t miss that.

Yours sincerely,Signed in Jest,The Government of Alberta

Welfare of hungry children in Albertatouches the heart of caring citizen

Sled dog racing turns into a passion for MarkHartum and a love affair for his entire family

Lamont County residents travel the great white north in pursuit of excellence in demanding sport

MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Sled dog racing has become a lifestyle for the Hartum family who travel hundredsof thousands of miles to compete in the sport. Pictured from left to right are: Mark,Elle, Mya, Noah and Brooke. The Lamont County residents go on the road withtheir dogs for three months during the year to participate in several competitionsand world championships. Living close to the Blackfoot-Cooking Lake ProvincialRecreation Area allows them and the dogs to train in ideal conditions.

Mark says his wifeBrooke, seen in photo, isjust as competitive ashim, and they have facedoff against each other inseveral races this pastwinter.

Michelle PinonEditor

What started out by accident, hasbecome a plan by design for sled dogracer Mark Hartum.

Back in university Hartum liked hisneighbour’s Siberian Husky and want-ed one for himself. One dog led to two,and before he knew it he was going tosled dog races. His first race was in themid-nineties, and he’s never lookedback.

Now his wife Brooke, and their threechildren Mya, 11, Elle, 10, and Noah, 7,who travel the circuit with Mark,watering, feeding and caring for thedogs (German Shorthaired Pointersand Greyhound) as well as racingthemselves.

Hartum Kennels has around 45 adultracing dogs and 15 yearlings. “We tryto breed to replenish the ones wehave,” says Mark. They start training inlate October and hit the road duringthe months of January, February andMarch. They travel to places like 100Mile House and Elkford, B.C. MeadowLake and Prince Albert, Sask., PigeonLake and Grande Prairie in Alberta,and Fairbanks, Alaska.

“We do it because we love it. It’s agreat way to to spend time together,”adds Mark. There’s always somethingto talk about while travelling through-out the Prairies. The kids also spend alot of time with the “dog board” mix-

ing and matching teams of dogs. Eachone has its own unique personality andskill set, and they love to figure outpairings while the miles go by.

There is a lot of skill and strategyinvolved in sled dog racing, and Marksays all the little things add up. Headds that racers must consider whichfoot the dog leads with, positioning,size of dog, and aerodynamics to namea few. “The driver has to be in goodshape, but the dogs are the athletes,”adds Brooke.

Living just outside the perimeter ofthe Blackfoot-Cooking Lake RecreationArea was a key consideration when theHartums purchased property inLamont County many years ago.Having access to groomed trails is keyto training and success, says Mark,who has always been competitive innature. The kids must have inheritedthe same gene as they also love to win,and have medals from the recent OpenNorth American Championships inAlaska.

In the past four years the Hartumshave logged just over 300,000 kilome-tres on their truck. “It’s a lot of earlymornings and late nights,” saysBrooke, “Because we all race and trav-el, everyone contributes and has arole.”

Brooke and Mark say it’s all worth itand the children love the adventure,companionship, and competition thatgoes along with the lifestyle. Mush on!

Economic director updates county council on progressMichelle PinonEditor

Lamont County coun-cil was brought up tospeed on plans for itsregional economic devel-opment initiaitve duringits May 2 meeting.

New executive direc-tor Doug Sullivan, whobegan his posting threemonths ago, gave a briefpresentation to counciland administration. "I'mseeing a lot of opportuni-ties and growth," statedSullivan.

He told council of theneed to attract newenterprise to the countyto bring in new money,highlight and supportexisting businesses, andprovide secure employ-ment and affordable liv-ing options for youngpeople.

Sullivan admitted it isa bit of a Catch 22 formunicipalities whichdon’t have infrastructurein place to attract indus-try and skilled tradespeople and profession-als.

Al Harvey, ChiefAdministrative Officerfor the county, said theyare looking into hiringsomeone who does engi-neering and planning toput together an areastructure plan for indus-trial areas, with the ideaof working together withurban municipalities toput together a package.Harvey said that couldcost between $60,000 and$70,000 per municipality.

"Most communitiesunderstand its not anovernight process, and itdoesn't happen by hap-penstance," saidSullivan. Harvey alsosuggested talking toMarie Kurylow, directorof planning and commu-nity services and JimNewman, manager ofeconomic development,to develop a plan.

"Maybe we should betalking with developers,"pondered coun.McCartney aloud.Newman suggested thatperhaps after the elec-tion, develop an infra-structure committee with

other municipalities inthe region.

Harvey agreed thatthey need both residen-tial and industrial tomake the county moreviable. He also recom-mended working moreclosely with local indus-try to build more part-nerships.

Sullivan said they alsoneed to put foundationalstructures in place witheasily accessible maps,land inventory, and com-munity profiles. He saidthere is the need to havean updated websitefocused on economicdevelopment as well asflyer advertisements.

He also recommendednetworking betweenother economic develop-ment groups, regularmeetings with chiefadministrative officers,council, Alberta'sIndustrial Heartland andbusinesses. MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

You know it’s spring when you get stuck behind a cultivator/sprayer travellingdown the road. This unit was photographed heading west on Highway 15 towardsLamont Friday afternoon. While producers are itching to get in the fields, mothernature may have to work a little more magic in order for the soil to absorb all ofthe moisture which has accumulated in recent weeks.

banquet in MundareMichelle Pinon

Editor

When Charlie Gargus signed on to beMaster of Ceremonies for the annualVolunteer Appreciation Event inMundare he didn’t realize he’d be oneof the people being toasted, but later inthe evening Gargus was presentedwith the Volunteer of the Year Award.

Gargus was surprised and delightedby the award. If there’s a job to be done,then Charlie is the first one to roll uphis sleeves and help. He does as muchas he can to make the load lighter forother people. Earlier in the day he hadbeen painting at the old hospital for arural sustainability organization, andlends a hand with the fire departmentand several other community groupsin Mundare.

Practically everyone in attendance atthe event is a volunteer, and Gargusacknowledged all of them and thework they do for their community.

For example, Krystal Kinash wasofficially recognized for her work withthe Lamont 4-H Multi Club and wasnominated for the Volunteer of the YearAward.

Representatives from the hospitalauxiliary, quilters guild and agricultur-al society gave brief presentations ontheir organizations and some of thework they do and recipients of theirgood work.

In the case of the Kalyna CountryQuilters Guild, members have provid-ed quilts, pillows, pet beds, dresses andshorts for people of all ages. “Since2000, over 700 quilts have been donat-ed by our guild,” stated memberAdeline Tanasichuk.

Currently the guild has 37 memberswho hail from Edmonton, SherwoodPark, Fort Saskatchewan, Bruderheim,Lamont, Chipman, Mundare,Vegreville, Vilna and St. Paul. Membersmeet twice a month at the Chicken

Coop Quilt Store in Mundare, and holdtwo weekend workshops at the seniorsdrop-in centre to work on a major proj-ect.

Some of the lucky recipients of themembers’ hard work and skilled crafts-manship have been: Lamont seniors,palliative care residents at the Mundarehospital, cancer patients undergoingtreatments, children in the Stollery,injured soldiers returning fromAfghanistan, pets at the HumaneSociety, as well as children in Africa.

In 2012, 150 quilts were given away,and to date, 25 quilts, 70 dresses and 52pairs of shorts have been donated. Theguild hosts an annual quilt raffle dur-ing Agri-Daze, and donates to theMundare Fire Department each yearfor its STARS fundraising gala. Thisyear members are donating a quilt tothe Village of Chipman to commemo-rate its 100th anniversary.

“I would also like to acknowledgeour husbands who support, encourage,facilitate, and sometimes even tolerateas we quilters pursue our passion forthe craft,” added Tanasichuk.

Charlie Gargus accepts his award fromLeah Bartz of FCSS.

Friends funny fundraisers to benefit Canadian Cancer Society

Jazmine InksterStudent Reporter

Bruderheim FriendsFighting Cancer will beputting on theirfundraising hatsthroughout the nextmonth in support of theCanadian CancerSociety’s Relay for Life.

The relay will be tak-ing place in FortSaskatchewan on June 21at Legacy Park.

There are two mainfundraisers planned totake place in Bruderheimthis month, one is a com-edy night taking place onMay 11 featuring come-dian Andrew Grose, andthe other is a “Fun

Flushing” fundraiser inwhich a toilet mysteri-ously appears on a lawn,which will then beremoved for a donation.

This is the second yearthat team lead, TracyRadke, has taken part inthe relay. Together withher two fundraisers shehopes to raise around$5,000. “Last year we got$3,000 from personalsponsors alone,” Radkeadds.

Radke has many per-sonal reasons to be tak-ing part in this relay, asshe is running for herfather who had passedaway from malignantmelanoma only 11months after his diagno-

sis. She says that she alsohas a number of familymembers who are stillfighting to this day. “Forme, it’s a big deal”

This is the first yearshe has done any largescale fundraisers, andshe had gotten the ideafor the mobile decoratedtoilet from another townthat she had seen do thisfundraiser.

The toilet will “myste-riously” appear onsomeone’s yard, and inorder to get it removed,the yard owner will haveto call the number and

give a donation to thecause.

“Maybe they’ll donatea little more, and the toi-let will be placed on theirneighbour’s yard,”Radke jokes. “We have acouple people on our hitlist already.”
