A new school building to replace H.A.Kostash (HAK) School in Smoky Lake wasapproved by the provincial government Nov.1.

“I am extremely thankful for the support wehave received from the Board and the commu-nity,” said HAK principal Dick Richards.“Members of our community have beeninvolved in advocacy efforts because theyhave understood the need for a replacementproject and have pride in H. A. Kostash.Smoky Lake will benefit immensely from anew project designed for staff, students andour community.”

Aspen View Public Schools (AVPS) SmokyLake area trustee Tom Mykytiuk said, “Thesupport and advocacy for this project fromacross the Smoky Lake region was instrumen-tal in securing this approval. The hundreds ofletters sent to government by students, parents,community members and organizations –many of them delivered in person by H.A.Kostash School students – sent a clear mes-sage to our provincial elected officials of howintegral HAK is within our community.Today’s approval shows that the community’smessage was heard and acknowledged.”

“We’re extremely thrilled; it’s a fantasticannouncement,” said Smoky Lake mayorHank Holowaychuk. “We really, really appre-ciate the government’s commitment to invest-ing and re-investing in rural Alberta. Even indifficult times it’s money well spent.”

He pointed out that advocating for the newschool had been a community-wide endeavorthat included a letter writing campaign lastyear.

“Thanks to all the people who workedtogether to get to this point,” Holowaychukadded. “It’s much needed, and it’ll continue topay dividends well into the future. Hat’s off tothe minister and the government for makingthe tough choices and the right choices.”

“The news we received today has been longawaited by the students and staff of H.A.Kostash School,” said board chair CandyNikipelo. “We are grateful that the provincialgovernment has given the green light to thisessential project, and we look forward to excit-ing months ahead as we create a dynamiclearning environment to serve the next gener-ation of students in the Smoky Lake area.”

She added that AVPS is very pleased thatthe replacement HAK was approved.

“We are encouraged that the provincial gov-ernment has recognized the importance ofcontinued investment in rural Albertaschools,” Nikipelo said. “As advocates forrural sustainability, we look forward to work-ing with the government and our community

partners to create a new school that fosters thecontinued development of not only studentsand staff, but the entire region.”

On behalf of the Board of Trustees she alsoexpressed thanks to Minister of EducationAdriana LaGrange for the personal interest shedemonstrated in the project during her visit toHAK on Sept. 27. At that time AVPS officialsand students explained why a new school isrequired and showed her the condition of thecurrent school building.

AVPS Communication officer Ross Huntersaid no specific information such as timelinesand budgets for the new school project wasreceived from the provincial government. It is

anticipated that information will beforthcoming within the next few weeks.

Smoky Lake’s new school is one of25 school projects costing $397 millionannounced Nov. 1.

“We made a promise to Albertans thatour government will continue to buildnew schools, and we are doing exactlythat,” said LaGrange. “Through our sig-nificant investment in new schools,replacements, modernizations and infra-

structure upkeep, our children will continue tolearn in up-to-date and safe spaces. This willresult in better success in our classrooms. Thefuture is bright for Alberta students.”

Minister of Infrastructure Prasad Pandasaid, “These 25 projects confirm our govern-ment’s commitment to continue to buildschools across the province. Alberta Infra-structure will continue to deliver key infra-structure projects to build prosperity for Alber-tans.”

A list of infrastructure issues at HAK showa facility with a structure and mechanical sys-tems that are at the end of their lives: leakingroof, aging boilers, lack of a sprinkler systemand new plumbing needed to meet minimumwater efficiency standards.

None of the issues pose immediate safetyconcerns, and the air quality of the building iswithin Alberta Infrastructure guidelines. How-ever, when it rains and during a quick snowmelt staff need to set out buckets to collect thedrips leaking into the building. AVPS does nothave $1.2 million in its maintenance budget torepair the roof.

HAK consists of several different buildingsput together toform the wings ofthe school. Mod-ernization of HAKhas been the toppriority on AVPS’s

capital project submission to the provincesince the 2015-16 school year. Its assessmentby Alberta Infrastructure in February 2018confirmed deficiencies and failings includingconcerns around the stormwater system, fireprotection and both mechanical and electricalsystems. In July 2018, the HAK moderniza-tion request was changed to replacement.

In January 2017 the renovation or replace-ment of HAK was put on the Alberta govern-ment’s Sunshine List, meaning it was selectedas a provincial project but had no funding allo-cated to it.

The 2019 provincial budget included $1.4billion over four years to continue work onpreviously announced school projects acrossAlberta, which includes $123 million forabout 250 new modular classrooms to addressthe most urgent needs for additional spaceacross the province. There are more than 60projects underway in the province. Twenty-seven are expected to be open for the 2020-21school year, and the remaining projects are invarious stages of planning and construction.

The province will also provide $527 millionto school divisions for plant operations andmaintenance to support the day-to-day upkeepof school facilities. Additionally, $194 millionwill support the capital maintenance andrenewal of existing school buildings throughthe Infrastructure Maintenance and RenewalProgram.

Seeds to Sprouts Childcare Society (SSCS) is almostready to open its daycare and after school care programs

in rooms at Thorhild Central School. Final licensingrequirements should be met this week. Four more chil-

dren need to be registered. Thorhild County will provide a loan to a

maximum of $40,000 to assist SSCS with itsfirst year of operating. County councilapproved providing the loan after SSCS direc-tors Krista Hawrelko, Brandy Hasiuk andCandace Styre-Gurney requested financialsupport to enable them to open the doors thisfall. This ensures they can keep the local staffthey hired and provide the service to the fam-ilies who have already registered.

“We need to open,” said Hasiuk during theOct. 22 council meeting. “People won’t leavewhere they are until they see we’re viable andoperating.”

“If we don’t open in the next month or so,we’re going to lose our local staff and the reg-istered parents,” added Hawrelko.

She noted the daycare that opened inSmoky Lake about a year ago started with 12children and had 30 within a year, and Redwa-ter was similar. The survey SSCS conductedlast year showed there are about 50 children inthe area who need care.

“We’ve been told, let us know when you’reopen, and we will come,” Hawrelko said. “Wedon’t believe it will take a year to get enoughkids.” She explained that she understands whyparents will not leave the out of town child-care places they are presently using until theyare certain the local facility is open and oper-ating.

Thorhild County earlier provided $15,000seed money for SSCS to cover legal costs ofestablishing its society, licensing fees, outsideplayground set up and starting fundraising.SSCS has since raised over $30,000, furnishedthe daycare and hired staff. The loan, whichwill be provided in the new year, will be usedfor operating costs if the facility is not gener-ating enough income to be self sustaining.

Darrell Coma, PHARMACIST, THORHILDOne of the most common ingredients innon-prescription topical pain relievers ismenthol. It relieves pain by producing amild irritation on the skin and theseointments can be very helpful. Theamount of menthol can vary from 0.75%to 11% but some people may experienceskin burns. If you do, stop using it andcheck with your pharmacist for a alternateproduct.One of the first actual injections of asubstance into the human body via asyringe was by a Scottish doctor in themid-19th century who gave his wifemorphine by injection. It is a sad storybecause he gave his wife too muchmorphine and she died of an overdose.Iron supplements should be taken only onthe advice of your doctor. When choosingan iron product, look for the phrase “elemental iron” to gauge the amount ofiron per tablet. For iron deficiency 100-200mg of elemental iron is needed daily.Ferrous gluconate contains 35mg of ironper tablet while ferrous fumerate can have60 to 100mg. Start with one tablet dailyand move up to 2-3 times. daily.

Sturgeon County Council’s commitment to the environmentwas evident as they green lighted the Agricultural ServiceBoard’s request to host a session for input from local agricul-tural producers on agricultural plastics recycling.

In addition, at the Oct. 22 regular Council meeting, admin-istration was directed to engage with Roseridge Waste Man-agement Services Commission for collaboration on futureopportunities for agricultural plastics recycling.

Sturgeon County was not one of the success-ful sites chosen in 2019 for the launch of theAlberta Agriculture Plastics Recycling PilotProgram. The closest site for the recycling is inBarrhead.

The program is a three year pilot from 2019-2021 to address the issues related to agricultur-al plastics waste management. Twenty collec-tion sites were to be established in 2019 with anintention to expand the program to include fiveadditional sites in both 2020 and 2021.

Following their Sept. 11 board meeting, theCounty Agricultural Service Board recommend-ed to Council that interim measures for agricul-

tural plastics recycling be developed (potentially includingestablishing a satellite collector site) and that Administrationre-apply to become a collector site in 2020.

The plastics recycling program falls in line with SturgeonCounty’s environmental stewardship strategic direction as thecurrent lack of agricultural plastics recycling results in the useof less sustainable disposal methods.

Thorhild Central School's junior, Junior Varsity and Senior volleyball teams pose for one last group pictureas another season approaches an end. TCS gathered together on October 31st and held a rally to wish itsteam the best of luck to finish off the season as they enter their final tournaments and head off to zonesunder the guidance of their terrific coaches.

WASKATENAU

Salute toVETERANSHonouring our nation’sbravest for their serviceand sacrifice.

Sean Borle, 24, recalls meeting SecondWorld War veteran Lloyd Brown, 96, for thefirst time six years ago at a Remembrance Dayceremony. “We had this magical momentwhere I reached out my right hand and he putout his left, to shake hands,” he says.

Borle was born missing his left hand, andBrown lost his right arm on October 18, 1944while serving with the Loyal Edmonton Regi-ment in Italy. “I was staked at a farmhousewhich had a children’s treehouse locatedbehind it,” says Brown. “In the treehouse wasa sniper who kept shooting at our boys. A tank

then came which shot out shells, the shrapnelhitting my right arm.”

When Brown arrived at the hospital, thedoctors had to amputate his arm. “Fortunately,I was in such shock that I didn’t feel a thing,”he recalls.

The ability to find the positive in a dark sit-uation is one reason why Borle admiresBrown. On Remembrance Day, the pair share aspecial tradition of laying a wreath on behalf ofThe War Amps, an organization entering itssecond century of service this year.

The War Amps was started by war amputee

veterans returning from the First World War tohelp each other adapt to their new reality asamputees. They then welcomed amputee veter-ans following the Second World War, sharingall that they had learned.

Borle grew up in The War Amps ChildAmputee (CHAMP) Program, which providesfinancial assistance for the cost of artificiallimbs, emotional support and regional semi-nars to young amputees across Canada. It wasstarted by War Amps Members, like Brown,who realized their experiences of living withamputation could help others.

Through what they call “Operation Legacy,”Borle and his fellow members of CHAMP havenow “taken up the torch” of remembrance topay tribute to the veteran members of The WarAmps, whose efforts have made a difference inthe lives of thousands of amputees.

“I can’t overstate the impact that these pro-grams have on young amputees and theirfutures,” says Borle. “Knowing that there arepeople like Lloyd who understand what it’slike to be missing a limb, makes you feel likeyou’re not alone.”

When Brown attends the Remembrance Dayceremonies, he reflects on all those in his regi-ment who never came home. “It’s heartbreak-ing to think of all those who lost their lives andit’s important to remember them,” he says.

For Borle, it’s special to share Remem-brance Day with Brown. “I would not be theperson I am today had it not been for that deci-sion more than 100 years ago to begin The WarAmps,” says Borle. “It is our commitment asChamps that the legacy and sacrifices ofLloyd, and all the war amputee veterans, willbe remembered and carried forward.”

Sacrifice and Legacy: Two Amputees Share a Special Bond – Sean Borle, 24, andLloyd Brown, 96, share a Remembrance Day tradition of laying a wreath on behalfof The War Amps. Borle was born a left hand amputee and Brown lost his rightarm while serving with the Loyal Edmonton Regiment in Italy during the SecondWorld War. The War Amps was started by amputee veterans returning from theFirst World War to help each other adapt to their new reality as amputees. Borlegrew up in The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program which was started byWar Amps Members, like Brown, who realized their experiences of living withamputation could help others. Through what they call “Operation Legacy,” Borleand his fellow members of CHAMP have now “taken up the torch” ofremembrance to pay tribute to the veteran members of the Association.

Royal Canadian Legion RedwaterBranch #251 member Judy Hertel has vol-unteered with the Legion for nearly 40years.

She enjoys being involved with the com-munity, the camaraderie of accomplishingsomething with other volunteers and hav-ing the Legion hall open for all ages.

“Many people think it’s just for veter-ans,” she said. “It’s not.”

Hertel first joined the Legion in FortAssiniboine.

“I had a friend, Patty Storseth, she spon-sored me,” recalled Hertel. “I took my oathpretty seriously.”

Their Legion held many activities whichneeded volunteers, and she found partici-pating in them very satisfying. Sheremained active with the branch for 12years, until she left Swan Hills.

About a year after moving to Redwater,encouraged by friends Mike and OlgaGuglich, Hertel joined the RedwaterLegion in 1994. “Mike got me into workingthe bar,” Hertel said. “I became the bar-tender.”

She has been the Bingo Committee chairfor 15 years, takes bookings for the Legionhall, opens the hall for bridge on Thursdays(and plays) and prepares the Legion eventschedule for the Town of Redwater toinclude in the monthly calendar of events itpublishes in The Review.

Hertel also volunteers with The MustardSeed in Edmonton. “I find it’s fun workingtogether. A job can work into a fun day.”

Since the Legion began holding Fridaynight family suppers at the beginning ofOctober, Hertel has also assisted supperorganizer Donna Costain (who is an execu-tive member and the Poppy Committeechair) with the suppers.

“Hats off to her,” said Hertel. “It’s a lotof work.” She generally stays after supperto enjoy a few games of cribbage.

Hertel worked for the Town of SwanHills and the Swan Hills School Board, thefor Pembina Pipelines south of Redwater.Now retired, she annually travels to NewZealand to visit her daughter Lori Goddenand her family.

When inducted into the Legion, mem-bers affirm they willwork to advance theLegion’s cause, par-ticipate in Poppycampaigns andencourage, promote,and engage in or sup-port community serv-ice and charitablepurposes. The Legionstands for strong andunited comradeshipamong all membersand those that haveserved or are serving,so their rights andinterests are not for-gotten and their wel-fare and that of theirdependants are safe-guarded.

Each November, Poppies bloom on thelapels and collars of millions of Canadians.The significance of the Poppy can be tracedback to the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th cen-tury, over 110 years before being adopted inCanada. Records from that time indicatehow thick Poppies grew over the graves of

soldiers in the area of Flanders, France.Fields that had been barren before battleexploded with the blood-red flowers afterthe fighting ended. During the tremendousbombardments of the war, the chalk soilsbecame rich in lime from rubble, allowingthe “popaver rhoeas” to thrive. When the

war ended, the lime was quickly absorbedand the Poppy began to disappear again.

The person who first introduced thePoppy to Canada and the Commonwealthwas Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae ofGuelph, Ontario, a Canadian Medical Offi-cer during the First World War. John McCraepenned the Poem “In Flanders Fields” on ascrap of paper in May, 1915 on the day fol-lowing the death of a fellow soldier. Littledid he know then that those 13 lines wouldbecome enshrined in the hearts and minds ofall who would wear them. McCrae’s poemwas published in Punch Magazine inDecember of that same year, and the poemlater served as inspiration three years laterfor Moina Michael, an American teacher.Moina Michael made a pledge to alwayswear a Poppy as a sign of Remembrance.

During a visit to the United States in1920, a French woman named MadameGuerin learned of the custom. Madame

Guerin decided to make and sell poppies toraise money for children in war-torn areas ofFrance. The Great War Veteran’s Associationin Canada (our predecessor) officially adopt-ed the poppy as its Flower of Remembranceon July 5, 1921.

Today, the Poppy is worn each year dur-ing the Remembrance period to honourCanada's Fallen. The Legion also encour-ages the wearing of a Poppy for the funeralof a Veteran and for any commemorativeevent honouring Fallen Veterans. It is notinappropriate to wear a Poppy during othertimes to commemorate Fallen Veterans andit is an individual choice to do so, as long asit’s worn appropriately.

Thanks to the millions of Canadians whowear the Legion’s lapel Poppy each Novem-ber, the little red flower has never died, andthe memories of those who fell in battleremain strong.

Thorhild County council will consider amending itsLand Use Bylaw (LUB) to allow urban chickens inmost residential areas. If the LUB amendments getpassed, council will consider passing an Urban Chick-en Bylaw.

Following a lengthy discussion during its Oct. 22meeting, council accepted a draft Urban Chicken Bylawas information and directed administration to draftamendments to the LUB to accommodate urban chick-ens. Once the LUB amendments are written, councilwill consider whether or not to adopt them. If first read-ing is given to the amended LUB, a public hearing willbe held on it before second reading is considered.

Amendments to the LUB include definitions ofaccessory building, hen coop, livestock and urbanchicken; a clause stating urban chickens may be permit-ted in residential areas of county hamlets except formanufactured home parks, and a map showing whereurban chickens may be kept.

Regulations and restrictions regarding urban chick-ens are contained in the draft Urban Chicken Bylaw, notthe LUB. It specifies an Urban Chicken license is validfor one year and under what circumstances a licensewould be revoked. It also covers the responsibilities ofthe hen keeper (including feed storage and followingbiosecurity procedures) and the requirements of coopconstruction and location. A maximum of four hens isallowed, and they must be at least 16 weeks old whenacquired. Roosters are not allowed.

Coun. Wayne Croswell said he feels the maximum

should be six and residents should be allowed to pur-chase chicks or to hatch eggs. That would allow pets,learning about growth of chicks and provide meat toeat. He felt the bylaw contained too many (32) regula-tions because they will prevent people from havingurban chickens and rules such as storing food in aclosed container are unnecessary.

Coun. Joyce Pierce said most people have common-sense, but some don’t always apply it. She felt the reg-ulations are needed, especially for people just setting upan area for urban chickens.

Coun. Richard Filipchuk said it is important to “dothe research and cover all the bases” before passing thebylaw. He feels rules are needed, particularly regardingconcerns about spread of diseases that were discussedduring the open house.

“This came forward because people wanted to havehens for eggs,” said reeve Kevin Grumetza. “If that’sthe case, 16 weeks is the age you want. In my opinionit shouldn’t be a hatchery.”

Planning and Development manager Wayne Shanksadvised the draft bylaw was created using research onurban chicken bylaws from other municipalities. Headded that the Alberta government has a guide for smallflock owners.

Further discussion covered having hens just for lay-ing, putting where urban chickens might be allowed ona map and the keeping of other animals in hamlets.

“We’ve talked about this numerous times,” Piercefinally said, “I think we’re beating this up way too far.”

Council continues scratching at urban chicken rules

Thorhild County is having a legal review done on its RoadUse Bylaw 20-2018.

The draft minutes of the Oct. 22 council meeting show thatfollowing the closed session during which council considered aconfidential report containing legal advice regarding the RoadUse Bylaw, council passed a motion directing administration todraft a letter advising the bylaw is being reviewed by legal andsend the letter to Minister of Municipal AffairsKaycee Madu, Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock MLAGlenn van Djiken, Dale Croswell Construction Co.Ltd. and North Corridor Co-op.

Croswell Construction representative MelissaOlah said Oct. 30, “We received the letter from thecounty, and we’re looking forward to having thebylaw amended to work for everybody. We’re look-ing forward to working with them in the future.”

Since May of this year Dale Croswell has madeseveral requests for council to either grant him a roaduse agreement (under which he would maintain 1.5miles of county gravel road to access a provincialhighway) or to amend the Road Use Bylaw. Thebylaw clause that restricts all through-haul heavytruck traffic to provincial highways is negativelyimpacting his business, and he feels that as a residentcompany paying property taxes to the county heshould be allowed to enter into road use agreementsallowing him to haul on county roads. The bylawdoes not allow for local companies to have road useagreements to access provincial highways.

In a letter submitted to council Oct. 22 Olah wrotethat while they have some gravel sources within thecounty, most of their hauling is done from nearbymunicipalities. Not allowing their trucks on 1.5 milesof Twp 604 requires them to use a longer route. Shesaid, “It adds an extra 27 km to our route, costing usan exorbitant amount of cost putting us at a loss andcausing us to lose eight rounds per day. We cannotcontinue to run our business this way for muchlonger.”

Also at issue is the county not allowing CroswellConstruction to haul on RR224 (Opal Road) whenother local aggregate companies use that roadthroughout the year. Those companies source theiraggregate in the county and do not fall under thethrough-haul restrictions.

Olah pointed out that prior to 2019 her company had road useagreements to travel on both of those roads and followed theagreement stipulations with no violations.

“This bylaw not only limits the roads we can drive on, but itis crippling our business success and jeopardizing the future ofour company,” said Olah.

The North Corridor Co-op board of directors sent the county

a letter regarding the road use bylaw. It was discussed by coun-cil during a closed session of their Sept. 24 meeting and was notmade public. North Corridor Co-op board president CharlesNewell did not respond to press requests for comment.

Councillor Joyce Pierce declared pecuniary interest and leftthe council chambers during discussions related to CroswellConstruction because her husband works for that company.
