‘Life stranger than fiction,’ says local authorMichelle Pinon

Editor

Life is stranger thanfiction.

Just ask author LisaAnderson, who hadmore than one strangeadventure on her fami-ly’s five month trip to sixdifferent continents thispast year.

Author of Mom!There’s A Lion in theToilet! brought to lifeseveral of the travelling

stories during her after-noon visit to the LamontPublic Library this pastSaturday.

“It’s a little weird to beback at Lamont High,”admitted Anderson, whograduated from here,and later married herhigh school sweetheartRick, and resided andworked in the area for 20years. “Pretty mucheveryone here knowsme. It means the worldfor you guys to come,”stated Anderson.

The gifted storyteller,writer, teacher, andmother entertained theaudience for about anhour, recounting severalof the real life extraordi-nary adventures of she,her husband, and fourchildren had while onvacation. Last fall theypacked their bags andheaded to Vancouver,Los Angeles, and Perubefore moving on toother continents.

Anderson didn’tintend to write a book,but didn’t think shewould remember all ofthe details of the unfor-gettable journey, so shedecided to write a dailyblog to her mom.

“Travis didn’t like towrite so he took pic-tures.” The other siblingsalso wrote down andshared their insights,impressions, and infor-mation in their ownblogs and throughemails to family andfriends.

One of those unforget-

table adventures waswhen they followed theInca Trail to MachuPiccho. What they failedto realize was that thedestination was at thesame elevation as thebase camp at MountEverest at 11,700 feetabove sea level. Severeheadaches, dizzyness,and nauseousness were

just some of the sideeffects they had to dealwith afterwards.

Anderson read anotherexerpt from the bookwhich documented thesand boarding excursionand bizarre aftermathfollowing a head injury.

Anderson alsoexplained how she cameup with the title of the

book after a closeencounter with a lion inthe bathroom at a restau-rant in Bali.

There are many“colourful” adventuresin the book, andAnderson left the audi-ence wanting more.

The famous view of Machu Piccho in Peru.

There will be liquorservice and separateguest bathrooms. Aswell, there will be a sepa-rate room for additionalseating of guests ifrequired.

Jonk also plans onoperating a shuttle busservice for guests so theycan take in local touristattractions such as ElkIsland National Park, theUkrainian CulturalHeritage Village and theworld’s largest sausagein Mundare.

“We want to be thepreferred hotel fortourists, travellers, work-ers and other guests inthe Heartland and sur-rounding area,” statedJonk. His mission as out-

lined is to: “Create anexciting, warm environ-ment for staff and guests,focused on cleanliness,friendliness, and innova-tive guest service.

Jonk also points outthat the Heartland Hotelwill be a member of theAlberta Hotel and LodgeAssociation, and thatwill ensure they aremeeting industry stan-dards in terms of healthand hospitality require-ments.

Jonk has already hireda general manager fromLamont, and expects tohave between 15 to 20staff once the hotel is upand running next sum-mer.

So far things are onschedule, and Jonk couldnot be happier.

As Christmas timenears, and school isunderway, the LamontFood Bank is workinghard to help those inneed in any and all com-munities in the county.

The food bank is runby Lamont CountyFamily and CommunitySupport Services (FCSS),and the Lamont Alliancechurch, and creates foodhampers for betweenthree and seven familieseach week, through thegenerous donations ofboth community busi-nesses and individuals.

Among the itemsneeded by the food bankare canned vegetables,canned meats (such astuna, and ham) anditems for students tobring to school “We real-ly need things for chil-drens lunches, thingslike granola bars, andsingle serving snackssuch as fruit cups help alot,” explains LamontAlliance Church PastorRon Wurtz.

According to FoodBanks Canada’s“Hunger Count 2012”profile, half of the house-holds regularly recievingfood from food banks arefamilies with children.This is no different inLamont says Wurtz,“Half of the families the

food bank serves havechildren that are in needof lunch foods.”

Although there is a vis-ible need for both thecommunity and the foodbank, there is a definaterise in the amount offood needed around thestart of school and thetime right aroundChristmas. “So manythings are going on ineveryone’s lives thatthey forget about thefood bank, but whentheir money is stretched,there is more need forthe food bank.” This isespecially true of thewinter months, as par-ents and families havegifts to buy, and otherevents in their lives thatmay cause them to turnto the food bank for thehelp that they need.

Wurtz explains thatthere is no “one” targetgroup.

The food bank serves amultitude of people fromall walks of life, and allsituations. Wurtz seesfood given to families,singles, children, andseniors among others.“There are times for sen-iors when it comes downto a choice between thismonth’s medicationsand having food. That’swhere we can help”

The food bank recieves80% of their foodthrough donations, bothby individuals and food

drives that are done bysome of the local schoolsand businesses. “Oftencompanies in the com-munity will organizecash donations to gotowards buying food”says Wurtz.

“We also get a lot ofsupport from the FortSaskatchewan andStrathcona County foodbank. They will oftensend us any excess itemsthey have.”

Although much oftheir food is donated, thevolunteers from the foodbank will also have to goout and purchase muchof their stock themselves,such as perishable itemslike milk, meat and freshproduce, or items forbaby needs such as dia-pers.

The food bank opera-tion is run completely byvolunteers, with eight ornine people that help outat various levels. “Thechurch organizes a groupof community volunteersto help us out” Thesevolunteers put an aver-age of 15 - 20 hours ofwork into the food bankeach week includingshopping for items, put-ting them away at thechurch, as well aspreparing the hampersfor the community.

“The amount hasincreased considerably,however people nowknow we are here, and

they know that the cancome to us if they needhelp,” explained Wurtz.“They were alwaysthere, but they didntknow we were there”

Although the foodbank is always lookingfor more donations,Wurtz says he couldn’tbe happier with theamount of help he hasreceived in making sureeverything comestogether each week, say-ing that the communityhas been very supportiveand encouraging of thefood bank and its effortsto help those in need.

Volunteersdeserving of

our admiration and respect

It inspires me to see people give of their timefor the benefit of others in their community.Communities are only as strong as the givingspirit of the people living there. I have spentmany hours pondering what makes a commu-nity a great place to live, and there is nothingthat can make a bigger difference to a commu-nity than the commitment and enthusiasm ofits volunteers. You cannot buy the results thatyou get from volunteers.

Having lived in this region now for close to20 years, I’ve been lucky to have met severaloutstanding individuals who sacrifice theirtime, and at times their own money, to makethis community a better place to live for every-one. You need not look far to see the positivebenefit from the volunteers in this region. Theywork in our fire halls, they look after our treesand flowers, they run our community events,and they raise money for valuable localimprovement initiatives.

Words can’t begin to express my deep admi-ration and sincere gratitude for those people.Without them, our communities would not bewhat they are today. They bring the spirit andpassion that drives pride and makes our farms,hamlets, villages, and towns a much better,brighter & happier place to live.

We live in a society where we seem to onlyget busier. It has become way too easy to loseyour sense of connection to your neighbours.Volunteering is a way to bring yourself closerto your neighbours, strengthen your communi-ty, and provide some deeper meaning in yourlife. I encourage everyone in our LamontCounty region to find as many ways as you canto get involved and contribute to the efforts ofthe community groups in your area. I trust youwill find it a rewarding and fulfilling experi-ence.

Sincerely,Karl Hauch

Farmers betweenEdmonton and Calgarycan save Alberta’s tax-payers a cool $1 billiondollars, if only theywould sell their land for$45 million dollars perquarter section.

The government ofAlberta has in its infinitewisdom decided to buildtwo massive electricitytransmission linesbetween Edmonton andCalgary, and in doing sochose to approve theconstruction of two HighVoltage DC transmissionlines over the alternativeoption of building twoHigh Voltage AC trans-mission lines.

A High Voltage DCtransmission line costsapproximately $1 billion(that’s a “B” for billion)dollars more than a com-parable High Voltage ACtransmission. The gov-ernment is not proposingto transmit any moreelectricity using oneoption verses another. Itchose DC technology

because High VoltageDC technology requiresless land than HighVoltage AC technology.It’s all about land use!

The Alberta ElectricSystem’s Operator(AESO) claims the totalright-of-way of landrequired for one HighVoltage DC line betweenEdmonton and Calgaryis approximately 4920hectares. The totalright-of-way of landrequired for a compara-ble High Voltage AC lineis 6340 hectares. Theproposed land use sav-ings for choosing HighVoltage DC is therefore1420 hectares per trans-mission line.

To save 1420 hectares,Alberta’s government isspending an extra $1“Billion” dollars. That’s($1,000,000,000/1420)$704,225 per hectare orabout $284,989 per acre,or $45 million per quar-ter section.

At roughly the currentfarmland prices between

Edmonton and Calgary,$1 billion dollars wouldbuy 664,000 acres, orabout 268,830 hectares,or an area of land 350 kmlong by 7.7 km wide.Since the right of way foran AC transmission lineis about 75 metres.That’s enough land forone hundred 350-km-long double-circuit HighVoltage AC transmissionlines. (AESO claims theyonly require land for twoHigh Voltage AC trans-mission lines: not onehundred)

There you have it! Thegovernment only needsto use the “extra” $1 bil-lion dollars it planned onspending to build oneHigh Voltage DC Line,and purchase a path ofland wide enoughbetween Edmonton andCalgary, paying $45 mil-lion per quarter section,to eliminate the need tobuild a second (or forthat matter any) highVoltage DC transmissionline. Farmers can then

say they saved Albertans$1 billion dollars.

This fall session theAlberta legislature willdebate whether or notthe $16.6 billion dollartransmission line pro-posal is even needed.The Wildrose will intro-duce a motion to requirethat the governmentshow proof that thetransmission lines areneeded. This PC govern-ment is expected to rejectthe motion.

All the evidence con-firms these transmissionline are not needed. TheAlberta Government hasrejected every call toshow proof. If Albertanswake up before thismoney is misspent,imagine what we coulddo if even a portion ofthese funds were used toimprove education,health care, our highwaysystem, and the care forour seniors.Joe AnglinWildrose MLA Critic

Letter: Powerline money could be better spent


Wilson Zukiwski hasdeveloped a greaterappreciation of local his-tory in recent years, andwill be showcasing someof his portraits of home-steads during a specialpresentation in theVillage of Andrew multi-purpose room Thursdayevening beginning at 7p.m.

Zukiwski, who grewup on a farm in theWillingdon area, hasbeautifully captured thetrue essence of first andsecond generation hous-es, barns, schools, andchurches in his travelsdown the back roads ofLamont County.Through the lens of hiscamera, he has been ableto create a visual snap-shot of those early settlerdays. He documentedexact location as well asprominent architecturalfeatures of the historicstructures.

“I thought I should dothis before all the peoplewho knew this passedaway,” says the 73-year-old Andrew resident. “Inthe winter of 2003-’04 Ivolunteered for theLamont County Surveyin which all the struc-tures in the county werephotographed with rele-vant details about con-

struction noted.” Zukiwski adds: “First

generation houses werecopies the settlersbrought from theUkraine, that is log con-struction with a steepthatch roof with an over-hang of up to three feet.All had two rooms, anentry room (horme) withdoors to the kitchen and

the great room, five orsix windows that weresingle glazed, and nowindows to the north.

“The west room(kitchen) had a peach(clay oven) and later astove to the north, a largetable to the southwestwith benches to thewalls. Next to the doorwas a shelf (shafa) which

may have been ornatethat held bread, dishesand utensils and otherfood that had to be pro-tected from mice. Therewas a small table by thestove and a washstandwhere personal washingoccurred and disheswere washed.

“The great room wasto the east and like the

kitchen had three win-dows, two to the southand one to the east. Ahuge bench was on thesouth wall that doubledas a bed when guestsovernighted. This roomalso served as a bedroomfor the family and had arail toward the northwall to store beddingand clothes.”

Zukiwski also goesinto detail about the roofrafters, which were fiveinch rails four feet apartwith stringers about afoot apart to which ryestraw that was combedto remove leaves wastied to make thatch. “Anoverhang of up to threefeet was common to pro-tect the walls from the

elements. After thethatch was completed, asmudge was lit in thehouse to season thestraw to resist mice andinsects. Many thatcheslast over 40 years,”added Zukiwski.

Walls for the home

were made of logs thatwere cut a year ahead oftime; peeled and dried,notched and laid atopone another held withstakes driven in two inchholes drilled into adja-cent logs. “They werethen mudded with claymixed with short strawin several layers allowedto dry and finished with

a clay sand coat. Thiswas painted with severalcoats of whitewash madefrom slaked lime thatgave the house a sharpfresh scent that was anti-septic too.”

The first generationhomes had a clay floor,

but later was changed towood as money becameavailable. As wealthincreased, style alsochanged with many ofthe second generationhomes, and residentsopted for two story sin-gle rooms with a lean.“These were also were oflogs, mudded but lathedand clad with siding ofcedar or fir. Ceilings hadtongue and groove firand windows were dou-ble glazed. Also, the roofpitch was not as steepand overhang wasreduced. Many Eatonmail order houses werebuilt in the ‘30’s”

Times have changeddrastically since then,and Zukiwski says he isproud to have capturedaround 200 of the struc-tures. Many are dilapitat-ed and some have rottedto the foundation; and herealizes that one daythere will not be anyvisual reminders, exceptin private collections andhistory books to lookback on.

While everyone ismore concerned with thefuture than the past,Zukiwski is glad that hestopped long enough topause and reflect on daysgone by.

Dear Editor, Once again, we gather

together to honour thosewho have stood indefence of our rights andfreedoms and to remem-ber those who havemade the ultimate sacri-fice.

The Canadian call toservice goes beyond per-sonal honour or gain. Asany veteran can tell you,the call to serviceenshrines ones duty topreserve and protect thevalues of freedom,democracy, humanrights and the rule of law– values for whichCanada is a shining star.We have always foughtto preserve these values,even during Canada’searliest generations.

Two hundred yearsago, Canadians foundthemselves involved in amuch different call toservice – in defence ofour homeland. The Warof 1812 was an importantstep in defining a uniqueCanadian identity, aswell as laying the path toConfederation. The vet-erans of 1812 are all toooften forgotten, which iswhy I was proud of ourGovernment’s efforts tohonour the heroes of1812 this past year.

From the War of 1812to World War I, fromWorld War II to theKorean War, from UNpeacekeeping missionsto the wars inAfghanistan and Libya,our brave men andwomen in uniform havealways answered the callto defend Canadian land,citizens, and values.

It’s a debt of gratitudewe can never repay. The least we can do iswhat we’re doing at thisvery moment: comingtogether for a moment ofsilence to think of them,the risks they took andthe sacrifices they made.This Remembrance Day,I urge all of my con-stituents to pay theirrespects to those thathave left behind all theyhold dear to carry outtheir job with purposeand pride.

It’s a feeling many ofus will never have toexperience. Though ashusbands and wives,sons and daughters,

fathers and mothers,brothers and sisters,these brave citizens are

certainly not faceless. On behalf of theGovernment of Canada

and Prime MinisterStephen Harper, thankyou for keeping Canada

and all we hold dear, safeand free.

We’ll forever remem-

ber, never forget. Leon E. Benoit, MPVegreville-Wainwright

Breakfast program fuels body and mindfor students at Bruderheim School


Thanks to the generos-ity of volunteers, stu-dents at BruderheimSchool are fueling theirbody and minds with ahealthy nutritious break-fast each and everymorning.

“It’s really phenome-nal,” says principal SvenDanzinger of the break-fast program that gotunderway a few shortweeks ago. “Each morn-ing parents set out cereal,juice, fresh fruit and getready to make toast.”

“We’re always lookingfor volunteers from thecommunity,” says co-ordinator MichelleThompson.

“I really want to keepthe breakfast programgoing,” says Thompson,who has already noticeda difference in the 15 to20 students who partici-pate in the program. Shesays the students are bet-ter able to focus on theirstudies and behave bet-ter during classes.

Danzinger agreeswholeheartedly. “Essen-tially it’s breakfast forlearning. It fuels thebody and its fuels themind.” School days canbe quite long for some

students who may bedropped off at 6:30 a.m.and picked up at 5:30p.m.

Even thoughBruderheim School is arelatively small school, it

has a big heart. Parentsrecognized the need andstepped up,” addsDanzinger, who is veryproud of their gifts oftime, energy and enthu-siasm.

There has also been apositive spill over as theyare able to offer a morn-ing snack to studentswho may not otherwisehave or get one. “Theyhave been very accom-

modating with that,”says Danzinger.

The breakfast programis overseen by Familyand Community SupportServices. The organiza-tion received a partialgrant to start the pro-gram. “We also receiveda generous donation of adeep freeze and $200from the LamontAlliance Church, and weare very grateful forcommunity support ofthis important program,”says Danzinger.

It is true that studentslearn better if they havehad breakfast, and againwe are very appreciativeof how much parentsand community mem-bers support the school,”added Danzinger.

“Any help is welcomehelp,” says Thompson,who is looking for bothvolunteers and financialassistance from resi-dents, businesses, andcommunity groups in thecounty.

For more informationcontact Thompson at780-796-2072.

There are many unsung heroes in the world.Don Lynwood is one of those unsung heroes.A 34 year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces,

Lynwood is spreading his kindness to others thisRemembrance Day, by donating a Canadian flag thatwas presented to him last year while on duty inKandahar to students and staff and Mundare School.

Erin Desautels, who has taught Grade 1 for the pastfive years at Mundare School, says she was very

touched when her father,(Lynwood) wanted todonate the flag to theschool.

The Canadian flag wasformerly flying at thememorial in Kandahar.Lynwood had put in arequest for a flag, and waspresented with one lastfall before he returnedhome to Edmonton. He,in turn presented theCanadian flag to principalTracey Arbuthnott, whohas kept it in a safe place.It will be pulled out onNov. 9th and used duringthe school’sRemembrance DayService.

Arbuthnott says he wasvery honoured to receivethe Canadian flag, andplans on using it during

Remembrance Day Services this year and years tofollow.

Desautels is “really proud” of her father who hasserved in the Canadian Armed Forces for the past 34years. Lynwood, a warrant officer in the army, hasseen six tours of duty. These tours include: Cypress,Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo and Afghanistan. He is cur-rently stationed in Turkey, adds Desautels, and isslated to serve at the NATO base there for the nextfour years.

Desautels says her dad wanted to donate the flaganonymously since he is a very private and humbleperson. She says it was her father’s lifelong dream toserve in the military, and she is very proud of hisdedication and service over the years.

She and her family are close, and use SKYPE,emails, and phone calls as a way to keep in touch.Even though they will be apart again thisRemembrance Day, they will be joined together inspirit when that Canadian flag is marched in bymembers of the Mundare Air Cadets Squadron onNov. 9th at 10:30 a.m.

Soldier shares his story on and off the battlefieldLamont resident Steve Rasmussen has no regrets and would not change his lifelong dream despite sacrifices

Steve Rasmussen

Michelle Pinon

Editor

Steve Rasmussenalways knew he wantedto be in the army.

He admits he alwayshad a “fascination” withthe idea of being a sol-dier as a young boy, andat the age of 20 decidedto enlist.

The Lamont residentsays it has been an inter-esting journey from thefields of his youth on thefamily farm to the battle-fields of Kandahar,Afghanistan half a worldaway.

He describes basictraining as a “completeeye opening and lifechanging experience.”Eight weeks of intensetraining that taught himto obey, and put the goalbefore yourself for thegreater good. “You haveto work in a group andfocus as a collective.”

One of the most inten-sive exercises was in theseventh week trainingwhere the recruits weresleep deprived for fivestraight days and thenhad to march in forma-tion 13 kilometres withover 52 pounds ofweight on their backs.

When Rasmussenjoined the army in 1997,soldiers and the militarywere viewed in a muchdifferent way than theyare today in 2012. Theirmissions were out of theheadlines and portrayednegatively in whatmedia reports weremade available to the

public. But subsequenttours of duty, and morerecently, peacekeepingefforts in Afghanistanhave changed public per-ception and support forCanadian troops.

A recent example ofthat was whenRasmussen stopped in agrocery store. He hadjust gotten off work andwas still in uniformwhen another customersaw him and decided topay for his groceries andshow his gratitude andsupport for the military.

“Kids look at you withawe and appreciation.”Rasmussen, who hascompleted three tours ofduty in Afghanistan,says it always bringstears to his eyes when hesees police officers, fire-fighters, and civiliansclapping and cheeringalong 97th street inEdmonton back to theGarrison when hereturns from a tour ofduty. “It’s overwhelm-ing.

“I don’t see myself as ahero. I’m just someonewho wanted to be a sol-dier.”

But serving on peace-keeping missions isn’twithout consequences asdanger is around them24 hours a day, sevendays a week, 365 days ayear. “You can’t becomecomplacent.”

Rasmussen, who is avehicle technician bytrade, says you musthave your weapon withyou at all times. Being ina constant state of

heightened awareness iscrucial as rocket launch-ers, grenades, andmachine gun fire arealways going off. Hevividly remembers thetime when he went to gohave a smoke break anda piece of mortar landed100 metres away fromwhere he was standing.

Rasmussen says if hethought about the fact hecould die every singleday, you would driveyourself crazy. However,one of the side effects ofbeing in a constant stateof aggression is transiti-toning out of that statewhen you are not onduty. Nightmares areanother side effect. Whilesome soldiers are moreaffected by the toil andtrauma of these mis-sions, it has affected himpersonally through astress injury.

Many soldiers don’twant to talk about it, butwhen it starts to affectdaily life, it is somethingthat has to be dealt with.He says the stress injuryhe was diagnosed within 2009 was not only neg-atively affecting him, butother family membersand friends. “They want to help, butthey can’t understand.”Walking on eggshells isthe worst thing, andRasumussen is glad thathe got the help he need-ed to get through the dif-ficult times and copewith the disorder.

Rasmussen has beencleared to do anothertour of duty, but has not

had the opportunitysince he returned threeyears ago. He still worksfull-time at theEdmonton Garrison.

When he’s not work-ing, he is spending timewith his wife Sharisseand almost 16-month-olddaughter Lexi, or attend-ing courses, conductingdrills, or responding toemergency calls with theChipman FireDepartment.

He has always wantedto serve others and hiscountry, and has spokento students at LamontHigh School about hisexperiences during theirRemembrance Day cere-monies for the past fouryears.

Rasmussen also organ-izes the RemembranceDay ceremony inChipman, and encour-ages everyone to attendon Nov. 11th. Folks areto gather at the NationalHall beginning at 10 a.m.

Jazmine InksterStudent Reporter

One activity on theminds of people such asElmer Pullishy is theupcoming curling sea-son.

As of November fifth,the ice for the curlingrink will be installed andcompleted thanks to thededicated work ofPullishy and his family.

"I started on the 21st,and we have to have it inby November 5th. It'sreally not that muchtime" states Pullishy

Soon after the ice isput in, the curling clubwill begin its regular sea-son, and the curling rinkparking lot will onceagain be filled as peopletake their chance tobegin the sport again.With an event plannedjust about every night ofthe week, the rink willsoon be a busy place.

"Monday nights is stu-dents, the juniors.Wednesday is mens.Thursdays untilChristmas is super-league, and Fridays isfamily night or recre-ation night," explainsPullishy.

"I started when thisplace opened up in 1980,and I worked from theyear of 1982 to 1984. Ishut it down for a bit,and started working hereagain in 2002" addsPullishy. In that time thegame and arena haveseen a few changes, butthe one that affected theice making the most isthe use of 'sheets' toreplace the job of paint-ing the lines on the iceapproximately five yearsago.

"The problem was, forevery layer of paint youput on, you lost twodegrees in the ice" saysPullishy.

The sheets are rolledout over each curlinglane, and then shiftedand straightened untileverything lines up per-

fectly for the upcominggames. However, thehardest part about themats is the lines, "If thereweren't any lines in themthere would be no prob-lem," explains Pullishy,adding that if it was justthe rings, it would takeless time for them to layout and make their ownstraight lines as opposedto making the lines onthe sheets perfectlystraight.

Although laying thesheets is an importantpart of icemaking, it isonly one singular part.There is a lot of otherwork to be done to createthe lanes that will beused by curlers for therest of the season.

"First you have to putin a layer of ice to makethe surface level, andthen lay down the sheets.After that you spraythem to freeze themdown, and then youflood."

"From the time I start,it takes roughly two tothree weeks to finish"adds Pullishy. After therink has been flooded,there are still a few morejobs to be done. The icemust then be shaved,and pebbled, and theremust be hacks (standingareas for the curlers) putin. Pullishy says that allof this takes him close to75 hours to complete,and it is only after all ofthis that the curlers are"ready to throw".

When asked about hismotivation for spendingso much time at the rinksyear after year, heexplained that it is most-ly for the juniors, theyouth.

“Something needs tokeep them off the streetand make sure they stayout of trouble. It alsohelps keep the clubgoing. If the club was toever close down, itwould be very hard toget it going again. I guessthe bottom line is I obvi-ously love what I do, or I

wouldnt be spending somuch time doing it.”

According to Pullishy,the ice is flooded aroundseven or eight times fromthe start of the season.However, there are stillsteps to take before thatcan be done. "We have tospray it first, to seal theconcrete in case there areany cracks. It stops anywater from going in thecracks, which could bug-ger up your concrete.Then after five or sixsprays, you're ready toflood it."

Even though manywould think that hiswork is done once the icein the curling rink hasbeen put in, he still hasplenty of things to keephim busy after that mainjob is done. Pullishy alsoworks on the mainte-nance of not just the ice,but the building as well.Pullishy will have a lot todo once the time nearscloser to the final tourna-ment of the season inApril, the Last ChanceBonspiel.

“This year will have alot of teams comingdown, and we'll haveteams playing both in thecurling rink and in thehockey arena.” Pullishyexplains that once thehockey season is over, hewill have to go into thearena, and convert thehockey ice into five curl-ing sheets.

“There is a lot of workfor just one person, but ifyou had a lot of help, itwouldnt be all thathard.”

Although the ice hasalready been made forhockey, there is still a lotof work that has to bedone to make it rockready. The ice will stillhave to be shaved andleveled, and lines paint-ed on, but once that isdone, and the walkwaysare in, the ice will beready to go once again.

Pullishy says that themost time consumingpart of working on the

ice he has found hasbeen taking it out of thearena, saying that it takesclose to three weeks totake out as opposed tothe two weeks it takes toput in; but the work thatis needed to be done is alot less precise.

When the time comesto remove the ice afterthe final game of the LastChance Bonspiel,Pullishy will be back towork removing thewater from the rink as itmelts, and directing it tothe trenches untill the iceis completely gone, andthe sheets are dryenough to roll back upand put away until nextwinter.“After the Last Chance

Bonspiel, when the lastrock is thrown, and thelast game is over, its agreat time, its time toparty.”

Quest CCS Project CO2 Pipeline

The Quest CCS Project is located

next to Shell Scotford, in the Industrial

Heartland Region, approximately

five kilometres northeast of Fort

Saskatchewan, AB.

The pipeline route (shown on the

map as a dotted line) will travel

up to 80 km north of the Scotford

Upgrader to between three to eight

injection wells.

Shell is proceeding to construct a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Project in your region called Quest. Finding ways to reduce greenhouse

gas emissions is one of the most important long-term challenges facing

society. Carbon Capture and Storage has been identified as one of

most promising technologies to reduce CO2 emissions from large-scale

industrial facilities. The Quest project will capture more than one million

tonnes of CO2 per year from the Scotford Upgrader beginning around

2015 – the equivalent of taking 175,000 vehicles off the road. This CO2

will be transported by an underground pipeline to injection wells located

approx. 60 km north of the Upgrader and injected more than

two km underground for permanent storage.

This fall Shell will be undertaking a number of drilling activities associated

with the project and has plans to drill two injection wells as well as three

deep monitoring wells and four shallow groundwater monitoring wells.

We will also be initiating an extensive sampling program of more than

200 existing groundwater wells in the area of the injection wells to collect

baseline information for our Measurement, Monitoring and Verification

program.

We will continue to consult with local stakeholders throughout the life of

the Quest Project. We hope you will be able to join us to get an update

on all aspects of the project.
