Jamie Laschuk of Smoky Lake is lookingforward to the mobility he will have with thenew power scooter he received just beforeChristmas from the Multiple Sclerosis Societyof Canada and the Easter Seals organization.

“I have trouble walking; I can’t go places,”Laschuk said. “I’m looking forward to spring togo out and about.” After the snow melts off thesidewalks, he and Bear, his 11 year old ShihTzu – Poodle cross, will be able to take thescooter out around town.

Laschuk has primary progressive MultipleSclerosis (MS). “I steadily get worse,” he said.“Walking, memory, everything is going down.”He explained that MS affects everyone who hasit differently. It is called the snowflake diseasebecause no two cases are the same.

There is no cure for MS. Some of the symp-toms can be treated, but he said the side effectsof the drugs “can be really bad.”

Laschuk’s first symptom, which is ongoing,was numbness in his hands.

“My hands have been numb for probably 10years,” he said. “I didn’t think much of it. It wassomething to live with.” He was told the numb-ness was caused by carpal tunnel.

When he started having trouble walking,began stumbling and tripping, he sought spe-cialized medical help.

“It took time to diagnose,” he said. “Andthen it happened so fast.”

Confirmation of the disease was made by aneurologist on May 8, 2017. At the timeLaschuk held a Class 1 driver’s license and wasworking in the oil field. “It was one of the bestjobs in my life,” he recalled.

Although he experienced difficulty gettingaround, he remained on the job for nearly ninemonths. On Jan. 16, 2018, he attended an on-site meeting at which he realized he had to stop

working.“I couldn’t walk,”

he said. “I walked likeI was drunk. If any-thing happened, Iwould put others indanger to help me getout of there. Someonewould have to drag meout, putting their life atrisk.”

It turned his lifeupside down. He gaveup his Class 1 license,his truck and his traveltrailer.

“Nobody thinksanything like that willhappen,” Laschuksaid. “I’ll be 47 nextweek, and it’s ...” hestopped and shook hishead.

Laschuk stayed onhis farm until October2019.

“I could walk oneblock if I pushedmyself,” he said. “Icould go water thecows, rest and goback.”

Now he lives in theunit apartments behindthe lodge in SmokyLake. He finds it diffi-cult and painful evento clip the leash ontoBear’s collar to takehim outside. It’s diffi-

cult to holdthings or cookfor himself. Hecan’t wear shirtswith buttons andeven putting onjeans is becom-ing hard.

“It’s gettingharder every day,” Laschuk said. “I lost alot of friends.”

He has a few staunch supporters whohelp him out, and he belongs to a numberof online MS groups, but he spends mostof his time just with Bear.

“He’s my everything,” said Laschuk.“He’s really good. He knows somethingisn’t right. The other day I fell down. Hestayed beside me. It takes me a while toget up.” Although there are group homesin Edmonton where Laschuk would haveassistance (if he could get a placing), hewould not be able to take Bear with him,so they are not an option for him.

Laschuk’s left side was affected by MSfirst, and it is more advanced on his leftside. When walking, it is his left leg that

gives him the most trouble. Like many MS vic-tims, he suffers from bladder problems and along trip, more than an hour to Edmonton, mayrequire three washroom stops.

Temperature also affects him. He can com-fortably go outside in a T-shirt at minus 40degrees, but can’t take a hot shower. Showershave to be cold. Even a short time under a sprayof warm water, although it feels really good,causes his nerves to spasm, and he loses musclecontrol.

“It takes everything Ihave to get out of theshower and lay on thebed,” he said. “I can’t getdressed.”

In summer, when thetemperature reaches plus

20 degrees, he can not go outside.“I’m done then,” he said. “I need to stay

indoors with the air conditioner on.”He is very grateful to the MS Society, espe-

cially Katie Lacey in the Edmonton office, forassisting him with coping with the disease. Shehelped him get the air conditioner and thepower scooter.

“Her helping me was unreal,” said Laschuk.

Graham Dalziel’sinterest in historicalartifacts includes thenearly 150 years ofthe Free Trader’sCabin on River Lot 3that he owns near theVictoria Settlementsoutheast of SmokyLake.

“It is a fascinatingplace,” Dalziel said.“There’s now someinterest in it frompeople visiting Victo-ria District and MetisCrossing. If theycome up the (Victo-ria) Trail, I’m happyto show it to them.”

The Free Trader’sCabin was designateda Municipal HistoricResource by SmokyLake County councilin December 2019. The entire River Lot (RL) 3 was named aProvincial Historic Resource in 2002. It is listed on the Canadi-an register of historical places.

“It’s one of the few remainnig almost-intact river lots,” saidDalziel. “The cabin is one of the oldest buildings in the county.”

It is a one and a half storey log house, originally constructedon RL 7 by trader Edward McGillivray in about 1872-1874.McGillivray worked for the Hudson Bay Company. After heretired, he worked as a free trader (which is how the cabin gotits name) and as a magistrate. He and his wife, Isabella, hostedmany events, making the cabin a hub of social activity.

Sometime between 1878 and 1902 the cabinwas moved to RL 3. James A. Kennedy thenmoved into it. He owned a general store, soldfarm implements and farmed. In the early 1900sa barn and a separate summer kitchen werebuilt.

The Cromarty family was the last to live inthe cabin. They built a new little house on theproperty in the 1950s and the cabin has beenempty since then.

Dalziel would keep an eye on RL 3 when itsprevious owner, John Gieger, was away. Giegerbegan restoring the cabin before he sold it toDalziel in 2001. RL 3 became the Dalziel week-end retreat.

Six years later Dalziel purchased the adjacentproperty. He has continued the restoration of thecabin.

“It’s such a nice, quite area,” he said. “It takestime and commitment to restore and stabilize it.It’s in pretty good shape now. I put a new roofon in 2002. It’s enjoyable work. If you don’ttake care of these things, they disappear forev-er.”

While repairing the roof ofthe 1950s house, Dalziel discov-ered a suitcase in the attic thatwas full of pictures, letters anddocuments such as birthcertificates. Everythingwas in excellent condi-tion because the paperswere well protected. Heshared them with theCromarty family.

The heritage value ofthe Free Trader’s Cabinlies in its associationwith the fur trade periodand with Victoria Settle-ment. It represents typi-cal Metis constructionand contributes to thehistorical character of thearea.

The steep pitched roofand the gables are cov-ered with cedar shingles.Construction was with

logs and dovetail notches. The hewn spruce logs werechinked to fill gaps.

On the inside are exposed square ceiling joistsattached with half lap joints to the top logs of the northand south walls with decorative beading along each sideof the ceiling beams. The main floor has tongue-in-groove ceiling boards. The upper floor is divided intotwo areas with a wood partition. Its ceiling constructionis one-inch thick planks of varying widths.

Dalziel is a member of the Smoky Lake CountyRegional Heritage Board and the Victoria Home Guard.

He credits county council with being supportive and forwardthinking about the heritage sites within the county.

“It’s a fascinating place,” he said. “There’s a lot of untappedtourist potential out here.”

Free Trader’s Cabin designated a municipal historic resource

The Free Trader Cabin on River Lot 3 in Smoky Lake Countyis now a municipal historic resource.

Sturgeon County cut nine staff during its lat-est round of restructuring.

After confirming the number of staff, inresponse to media questions Mayor AlannaHnatiw noted, “the departments affected by thechanges are Financial & Strategic Services,Communications, Assessment, Engineering,Infrastructure, Development Support Services,and the Office of the CAO. The CommunityServices division was moved into the Infrastruc-ture Services Division.”

She said “further changes are not anticipatedat this time.”

The Mayor also pointed out the changes weremade by the CAO and management, while jus-tifying the need for the action. “Council doesnot make administrative staffing decisionsbeyond the CAO we employ and task with run-ning the organization. Council sets the StrategicPlan and the CAO, Directors and Managers areresponsible for the creation and implementationof the corporate business plan, supported by theremaining County employees. The studies andreviews done in the past two years are meant toposition the organization for the future,” statesHnatiw.

“It is our mandate to maintain and perhapsimprove our current level of service during atime of economic uncertainty, shifting federaland provincial policies and growing financialdemands on municipalities. It requires difficultdecisions by leadership to position the county tosurvive the current uncertainties and to ensurethe county is sustainable for the longer term. Weare not immune to the economic realities sharedby our residents and our neighbours. Ultimatelywe are responsible for a corporation thatemploys approximately 200 employees and weare responsible to the 20,500 residents and busi-nesses that depend on us to do our best,” con-cluded the Mayor.

BLACK KNOT FUNGUS

BlackKnot Fungus is a common fungus associated with the group offlowering trees and shrubs in the rose family.

Black Knot is black tar-likeswellings along branches of theinfected plant. These growths will“swell” growing for 2-3 years beforebecoming fully mature. Mature gallswill release spores during theblooming period.

Regularly check your trees, pruning them in the dormant period fromlate fall into winter is ideal. Remove infected branches 6-8 inches belowthe gall, or back to the tree collar, not leaving a stub. If only a small portionof the tree is infested; prune it before a large infestation occurs.

Moving of infected clippings increases chance of spreading the fungus orcausing spores to rupture. The best control is to burn the clippings onsite; afire permit is required.

CLYDE AUCTIONEERING

Grade six students from H.A. KostashSchool in Smoky Lake learned a little bit aboutmunicipal governance and about what makes aperson take on the job of councillor when theyobserved part of the SmokyLake County council meet-ing Jan. 23. They attendedthe meeting as part of theirstudies about local govern-ment.

When reeve Craig Luk-inuk opened the floor to stu-dent questions, the first onewas how soon would thenew school be built inSmoky Lake. Lukinuk saidhe has spoken with AspenView Public Schools super-intendent Neil O’Shea, anda date for construction isnot yet known. The provin-cial government committedto building 25 new schoolsin the next five years, andthe school in Smoky Lake issupposed to be one of those.

“It’ll probably be beforeyou finish high school,”

said CAO Cory Ollikka.Do residents need a development permit to

take a building down as well as to constructone? Yes.

What is the best part of being a councillor?“We do our best to make things easier and

more efficient for people, to help the peoplehere,” replied Lukinuk.

“I want to make adifference and helpour community growand be sustainable formany years,” saidcoun. Lorne Halisky.“To make this a betterplace for all of us.”

“I like meeting withpeople and the public,to try to do things forpeople here,” coun.Randy Orichowskisaid. He works tomake living in rural

Alberta sustainable.Coun. Dan Gawalko and Johnny Cherniw-

chan also named talking with their ratepayersand trying to get things done for them and thebetterment of the county and region as the bestparts of their jobs.

What’s the worst part of the job? “We can’thelp everybody,” said Lukinuk. “It’s hardsometimes to deal with complaints.”

Do you ever get scary, angry people calling?“Sometimes,” answered Lukinuk. He explainedthat talking with those callers, staying calm andreasonable, usually helps work out the prob-lems.

Has the county office ever had protesterswith signs objecting to something? Ollikka saidthere has not been such a protest that he knowsof. “You live among the most calm and reason-able people anywhere,” he told the students.

Students get the facts straight from County council

Smoky Lake County reeve Craig Lukinuk (L-R) presents Lindsey Woods andTristan Semeniuk each with county pen and pin Jan. 23. The grade sixstudents from H.A. Kostash School in Smoky Lake attended part of the countycouncil meeting as part of their studies about local government.

The paper and a sense of humour --Roy Ottawa of Bar V Nook Lodge in SmokyLake reads through a newspaper Jan. 23. “Iread the obituaries to see if my name is in thereyet,” he said with a grin.

Thorhild County CAO Paul Hanlan is lookingforward to providing services to county residentsand to enjoying the recreational opportunities avail-able in his new community.

“I honestly think it’s a really good community,”said Hanlan. “I think every community deservesgood, respectful governance, and it’s fair of resi-dents to expect that. My goal is to put the past firm-ly in the past, focus on the services we deliver andhave staff proud of working for the county anddeliver a high level of service.”

Hanlan said there are positive things aboutThorhild County during a time when some munici-palities are struggling. “I think Thorhild is in a wellplaced position to weather the right-sizing of somemunicipalities as they reduce cost and service lev-els.” He noted that Thorhild County’s service levelsare “relatively modest.” As well, the county has amodest amount of debt and relatively strongreserves.

Those were some of the things he consideredbefore seeking the county’s CAO position. He alsotook into account the county’s distance from hisfamily in Spruce Grove, council’s planned directionand the existing team of staff.

“I was really looking for an opportunity to comealongside a municipal team and be a leader,” Han-lan said. “I’m cut out of public service cloth. I’m acouncil employee and manager of up to 70 peoplewho are proud to serve Thorhild County.” His lead-ership style is not strictly serious.

“There should be humor,” he said. “You can takewhat you do seriously and still have humor whenappropriate.”

Hanlan has been a municipal planner in severalareas of Canada and the United States. He served asWoodlands County CAO. During his time in StonyPlain Planning and Development he was also thepart time CAO, for five years, of Sunset Point sum-mer village.

Although originally from Calgary, he is a bit of asmall town boy at heart. He now has a home inThorhild and is looking for volunteer opportunities.He started by volunteering with a pancake breakfastheld at Thorhild Central School Jan. 8.

Hanlan is also looking forward to longer daylighthours so he can see more of the countryside and forrecreation in the county. He enjoys spending timewith his children and grandchildren, snowmobiling,pickup hockey, camping, watching sports and trav-elling. He also likes to ride his motorbike and islooking forward to participating in the annual Red-water Ride For Hunger in support of the local foodbank.

Hanlan said, “I like this community. I’m proud tohave this opportunity.”

Thorhild County CAO Paul Hanlan seespositives in his new community.

New CAO’s goal ishigh level of service FOCUSSED ON THE WHEEL -- Residents of Bar V Nook Lodge in Smoky Lake keep their wits sharp playing Wheel of

Fortune along with television contestants Jan. 23. “It’s fun trying to guess what’s right,” said Mary Nendze. In the photoare Nendze (back row L-R), Emily Melnyk and recreation co-ordinator Ryan Rolfes. In front, on the couch are OlgaSadoway (Left) and Sophie Ponich.

Despite being told that $6 million to $10 million of taxpayersmoney is being wasted annually through the governance struc-ture of the existing five towns and one county system in Stur-geon ... and that the community could get well over $10 millionper year in additional industrial tax revenue, the submissionlanded with a thud at Morinville town council onJan. 21.

Simon Boersma said the report being presentedwas drafted by a group of 30 to 35 concerned citi-zens who believe there can be an increase in efficien-cy at the municipal level.

Mayor Barry Turner responded to the presentationnoting the town along with Sturgeon County will behosting a regional meeting of the councils of all fivetowns — Morinville, Legal, Bon Accord, Gibbonsand Redwater, and Sturgeon County in the nearfuture. “Amalgamation is not” up for discussion atthat meeting, Turner stated. “Full stop.”

“There is a reason why we asked for mayors andcouncilors to get together to ‘discuss, come to thetable with an open mind’ — efficiencies is what westart with and then work our way forward in map-ping out areas along with mill rates. If there is nowant for a discussion to eliminate overheads, redun-dancies in services by not forming a unified regionamong these great communities the mill rate is amoot point. We need a starting point. I had a clientsay that the taxes overall were cheaper in the countyas to a comparable property size in the county, Iobviously cant ignore statements like that, I put themin my back pocket for further discussion,” statedBoersma to media questions after the presentation.

“If we bring Mill rates in right at the front end ofthis discussion we are starting off wrong. This is nota fight, this is about a region that needs to connect,be stronger, be more efficient, and lower its over-heads. This would include a council and one mayorand one CAO throughout the region. The forming ofthis regional unification counts on all councillorsand Mayors to be at the table,” stated Boersma in theemail response.

The reference to mill rates was responding toquestioning the impact on Morinville businesses of aUnified Municipality. The 2019 municipal tax ratefor businesses in Morinville was 8.05 mills. In Stur-geon County it was 10.28 mills. “After a 30% taxhike in 2019, do you believe Morinville business andindustry will support another 25% increase to bringthe local business tax rate to that of the UnifiedMunicipality?”, Boersma was asked.

Despite an opportunity to gain support for the pro-posal through the residential sector, Boersma offeredno comment on the positive impact a Unified Munic-ipality would have on residential municipal taxes.“The residential tax rate of Sturgeon County is lessthan half that of the town of Morinville — and lowerthan all five towns within it. Is the short term goal ofyour group to get this issue sent to a six municipali-ty plebiscite in the upcoming General MunicipalElection, where the combined voting power of thecurrent towns may produce majority support for theproposal?”

Despite offering no comment on the residentialquestion, Boersma stated the goal was to have thenew Unified Municipality in place for the 2021 gen-eral municipal election, so a plebiscite on the issueat that time is off the table.

He set he was scheduled to make a presentation toSturgeon County the following week, but deniedknowledge of support for an amalgamation of Stur-geon County with the town of Morinville by any ofthe Sturgeon Council members. “Not that I knowoff. I have sat at the table in the discussions that tookplace” (by the citizen group), stated Boersma.

The intention is to make presentations to thecouncils of the other four towns, although Boersmadid not have dates confirmed.

Turner pointed out the town is working withmunicipalities not only in Sturgeon County but alsoin the Edmonton Region to gain efficiencies —including “shared investment for shared benefit.”

Committee of the whole chair Scott Richardsonwould not allow Boersma to respond to the Mayor’scomments, stating the Presentation section of theagenda allows the public to address council but isnot a forum for debate. After the presentation coun-cil is allowed to ask questions or comment but thereis no back-and-forth discussion.

The presentation from Boersma pointed out thatSturgeon County and towns are “currently governedby 38 Mayors and Councillors and six CAO’s forapproximately 38,474 residents.” He noted theneighbouring city of St. Albert has one Mayor andsix councillors for over 65,000 residents.

The presentation contained charts for each of thesix municipalities involved showing how the indus-trial tax revenue from two giant projects coming on-stream in the Heartland Industrial area of SturgeonCounty could benefit all of the present municipali-ties. For example, Morinville currently gets only15% ($1.4 million) of its tax base from business andindustry and that would increase to 66% ($16 mil-lion) under a Unified Municipality, “assuming exist-ing tax revenues are maintained plus SturgeonRefinery Revenues are shared with currently exist-ing municipal entities — based on population.”

Sturgeon County would actually get the smallestpercentage gain in industrial /commercial taxationunder the unified proposal from the $57 million inannual taxes the report estimates on full productionby the two major projects within Sturgeon County,although the dollar value is the largest — goingfrom 72% ($35.3 million) to 83% ($65.6 million) of

its tax revenue.While none of the councillors challenged the basis for the

charts, budgeting would be done on a municipal-wide basis inthe Unified Municipality with neither the budget or assessmenthaving a per capita factor in the calculations. Priorities would be

set by the new council and staff for operations and capital proj-ects across the full Unified Municipality (not by former town orformer County division). The only per capita element would bein setting up the electoral divisions — which are mandated tohave an equal number of voters (within a legislated variance).
