Lamont County left holding the bag for $96,000Michelle PinonEditor
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.
Even though countycouncil did agree towrite a cheque toWestcan a couple ofmonths ago for the job itcompleted, the munici-pality is still out the sub-stantial sum of money.
According to a requestfor decision written byemergency services co-ordinator RandySiemens, “The grant was
to be applied to the pur-chase and constructionof the comunicationstower at TWP Rd 544and HWY 855. Befe pro-ceeding Lamont Countyreceived a letter statingthat the grant wasapproved so construc-tion was initiated. Onlyafter completion andafter phone calls inquir-ing as to when the coun-ty would see the grantmonies was its adminis-tration told the grant wasrejected and not untlMarch 2013 did LamontCuty receive an officialletter stating so.”
Al Harvey, chief exec-utive officer, read aloudthe letter of refusal tocouncil that was
addressed to him. Theletter stated the provincecould not take the grantapplication forward forsubmission. Harvey saidhe didn't provide aresponse because hewanted council's opinionfirst. "It depends on howfar we want to go. Wehave spent about $3,000on legal fees to date." Nomembers of council indi-cated at the May 2 meet-ing they wanted to pur-sue legal action.
"In the end where doyou lay the blame," ques-tioned Woldanski. Sowhile the beaucrats havesaid there is nothingmore that can be done,Woldanski said thepoliticians will have to
follow the process andtry to recoup the monies.To that end, the countycouncil passed a motiondirecting administrationto arrange a meetingwith Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA JacquieFenske.
Council also directedadministration to pre-pare an informationpackage for the meetingand to include a letterfrom Westcan certifyingthe work that was donewithin the guidelines ofthe application.
Woldanski said theywere not going to giveup on the issue, even ifthat means lobbying theminister.

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.

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

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.”
