Chapdelaine added that during its Aug. 6 meet- ing Vilna council resolved to ask Smoky Lake County council to consider the possibility of amalgamating the two municipalities and to have the two partner for an Alberta Community Part- nership (ACP) grant application for a Municipal Collaboration Study. “We have been in touch with Municipal Affairs and they have indicated that if both parties are interested in looking into this option, there is funding available through the ACP program to conduct a viability study,” said Chapdelaine. He noted his council resolved that if the county is willing to participate in the joint grant application, a joint announcement should be made to the pub- lic as soon as possible. A joint application would qualify for 100 per- cent funding while an application by only Vilna would be eligible for 10 percent funding. The Municipal Restructuring (MR) component of the grant provides financial support to municipalities for projects associated with regional governance and municipal restructuring processes such as amalgamation, dissolution, or viabil- ity reviews.

A municipal amalgamation binds two or more municipalities to centralize administration, improve financial efficiency, and simplify government structure.

The Town of Redwater formally recognizedthe founding members of the Redwater Arbore-tum Society during a plaque presentation Aug.20.

Mayor Mel Smith congratulated AllanNielsen, who had the initial vision of creatingthe Arboretum in 2017, and the seven chartermembers of the Arboretum Society. They wereNielsen, Isadore Koscielnuk, Fred Moody, ErnaLuger, Jack Dennett, Randy Serben and GeorgeGrainger.

“It was great, and we were really pleased,”Nielsen, who served as the first president of thesociety. He thanked everyone who contributedto the project including volunteer planters, busi-nesses, town staff and council.

“I just had the idea,” he said. “The hard workwas done by our society members and manyothers. The whole Redwater community wasbehind the project. On planting day there wereGolf club and Lions Club members out withtheir shovels, helping in whatever way theycould.”

Nielsen said organizing and working on thearboretum was fun. He visualizes how it willlook in 20 years and feels all the work was“well worth it.”

Smith commended everyone who con-tributed time, effort and funds to establishingthe arboretum. He also noted that the flourish-ing trees in it are as good for individuals as theyare for the scenic beauty of the town.

“Did you know that trees do not just enhanceour town visually, but research shows that treesmake us healthier?” asked Smith. “They boostour immune system, lower our blood pressure,improve our mood, and help reduce stress. Even

five minutes around trees or in green spaces mayimprove our health. In times like these wheneverything is so uncertain, and everyone isunder so much stress it is so important that wehave areas like this arboretum for people tocome.

“Today I would like to acknowledge thevision, hard work and dedication that has goneinto creating this wonderful legacy which willonly get better with time. I think that it is impor-tant to recognize the seven founding members ofthe Arboretum society, as what they have donein a matter of two and a half years is remarkable.

“I am passionate about our community, as Iknow that you all are, and I know that Redwaterwould not be what it is without the amazing vol-unteers we have. No community would functionwithout the kindnessand hard work of thecaring people in thecommunity who takethe time out of theirbusy schedules todedicate their time toenhance our town.The Arboretum istruly a lasting showcase that we can allbe proud of and enjoythe health benefits offor many generationsto come.”

The arboretum isin Devonian Park,south of 49 Avenuebetween 49 and 51Streets. Nearly 100trees and shrubs wereplanted in it during2018 and 2019.

Restoration of the Newbrook Observatorybuildings and site is nearly complete.

“I believe I can speak on behalf of the Soci-ety when I say by viewing the photos itappears as the work that’s been completed hasgiven a new life to the buildings,” said New-brook Historical Society chair TracyWoloshyniuk. “Looking back on old photos ofthe site, you can see they have come a longway. There are still a few things that need to bedone, and we look forward to when it’s 100percent completed.” After the roof mechanismof the camera building is operational, theSuper Schmidt camera will be placed backinside the observatory.

“We are grateful for the role Thorhild Coun-ty has taken towards this project,” saidWoloshyniuk. “Without it, this restorationwouldn’t have been possible. We hope in thefuture to host some Starry Night events in part-nership with the Royal Astronomical Societyof Canada – Edmonton. Based on the historyof the site, they are keen to work with us. Wehave been discussing a local history museum/interpretive center with photos, artifacts, andcuriosities of Newbrook’s past. It is our hope itwill attract tourists and locals, and maybe evenbecome a field trip destination for schools.”

Restoration of the observatory site was donethis summer by Thorhild County, which ownsthe site. The project budget was $193,000. TheAlberta Historical Resources Foundation(AHRF) approved a grant to cover 50 percentof eligible expenses up to a maximum of$88,180.

Community Services manager Carolyn Sed-lowsky advised that any items replaced at thesite had to be matched or made as close as pos-sible to the original in order to meet AlbertaHistorical Resources requirements. Through-out the project the county and contractorworked with an advisor from AHRF to ensurethe project met their requirements.

Work at the site included trim or remove oldtrees, repair or replace and then paint the sid-ing and trim on both buildings, fix or replaceeaves and soffits, rebuild back deck, re-pointand re-slope chimney and fix the Dormer win-dow on the house.

The roof on the house was fixed and newcedar shakes to match the originals addedwhere necessary. The roof on the observatorywas fixed and the area where the dorm win-dow will be was re-built. The dorm window

for the observatory was designed from old pic-tures to match the original. Electrical andsome foundation work was done. The roofopening mechanism for the observatory hasbeen worked on.

Still to be done are: install the dorm win-dow, repaint window frames and replace somewindows, refurbish exterior doors, update thesecurity system, finish the roof opening mech-anism, grade the slope around the buildings toensure proper drainage and install the fencearound the observatory to match the original.

Sedlowsky said the project looks to be com-pleted within budget. At this point the countyhas no plans for work at the observatory sitefor next year beyond regular maintenance andupkeep.

The Newbrook Historical Society locatedand brought from Ontario a camera and equip-ment identical to what the observatory hadwhen it captured the first North Americanphoto of the Soviet Union’s satellite Sputnik in1957 (the first man-made satellite to orbit theearth). Those items are in storage until theobservatory restoration is complete.

The observatory was declared a provincialhistoric resource in February 1995.

The Newbrook Observatory camera building was restored this summer. Its roofsplits down the center and slides open on the tracks beside the building, openingto allow the camera to take pictures of the night sky.

Coun. Karen Shaw was the lonevoice against the new Councillor Busi-ness Expense Policy approved at theAug. 25 Sturgeon County Councilmeeting.

She noted she could support thepolicy if section 5.10 which allows forreimbursement for alcohol “only whenthe event involves participants fromoutside the County” was taken out.

Shaw argued that given programcuts she could not support spendingtaxpayers’ dollars on alcohol.

Coun. Wayne Bokenfohr noted inbusiness and cultural exchanges it iscustomary doing toasts and is part ofdoing business internationally.

Coun. Patrick Tighe added the bot-tom line is the expenses are transpar-ent as they are posted online. He con-

cluded if residents “feel theyare outrageous they can adviseus.”

Coun. Kristin Toms con-cluded “making a moral judge-

ment on alcohol” is really not some-thing Council should “be forcing ourresidents in a position to do”.

The policy was first presented at theJune 4 Governance and Council Ser-vices Committee (comprised of Coun.Toms, Tighe, Comeau and the Mayor).At that time the Committee had noquestions for administration, nor anydebate.

This prompted Mayor AlannaHnatiw to conclude, “looks like you(administration) got it on first crack.”

This summerThorhild UkrainianDancing Club mem-bers Julia Moscalukand Danelle Ewasiwparticipated in anamazing opportunity todance and celebratetheir culture. They per-formed in the Aug. 23online Alberta Ukrain-ian Dance Associationsolo and duet perform-ance hour that show-cased dancers whowere unable to presenttheir skills at competi-tions and shows thisyear because of theCOVID-19 pandemic.

Moscaluk andEwasiw were excitedto be able to performfor an audience again,but both realized thatafter four and a halfmonths of not dancing,they were a bit out ofshape. They found thehardest part of prepar-ing for the UkrainianDays Festival wasremembering theirdance and practisingwithout their choreog-rapher.

“The UkrainianDays Festival was agreat opportunity toshowcase our dancesthat we didn’t get totake to many competi-tions last spring,” said Moscaluk. “Practising ourdance for the festival was definitely the hardest thingto get ready for as we didn’t have our usual studioand had a four month break.”

They found practice space and brushed up ontheir skills. On Aug. 23 they travelled to the Shum-ka studio in Edmonton to have their duet recorded.That involved taking part in several COVID-19screenings and wearing a mask until they were readyto perform. All the dancers taking part followed astrict schedule to minimize their social interaction.

Moscaluk and Ewasiw had the opportunity forthis exciting experience because at the start of the2019-2020 dance season they decided to work on aduet. Club instructor Odessa Bahri choreographedthe dance and the girls practised regularly formonths. In early March they performed at the West-lock Ukrainian Dance festival. After that, dance fes-tivals were cancelled because of the pandemic.Bahri and co-instructor Jesse Balan provided sever-al virtual dance opportunities for the club and dis-cussed the next dance season to keep the dancersinterested.

Moscaluk and Ewasiw have each danced for 10years. Both dancers enjoy the friendships they haveformed over their years of dance. They love beingchallenged by their choreographers each year witheach dance. Duets are special because they get todance with a good friend. Most often the choreogra-pher creates the dance to showcase each dancer’stalents.

“I’ve always enjoyed Ukrainian dancing and get-ting to do it with my friends is what I love the mostabout it,” said Moscaluk. “My favorite region ofUkrainian dancing has to be Transcarpathianbecause of the high energy music.”

Thorhild Ukrainian Dancing Club has been fortu-nate to secure incredibly talented instructors for the46 years it has operated. Most recently the studentswere taught by instructors who have danced with the

Shumka and Volya organizations.For the last three years Moscaluk and

Ewasiw had two instructors. Balan islocal talent and Thorhild club alumni. Heand Bahri currently perform with VolyaUkrainian Dance Ensemble. They havedanced internationally and are preparingfor another trip in August 2021.

Both Moscaluk and Ewasiw enjoydance and showcasing their Ukrainianculture. They attend Thorhild Centralschool and are looking forward to return-ing to school this fall.

Ukrainian Days Festival 2020 was aweek long virtual Ukrainian experiencefrom Aug. 16-24. It was comprised offive series featured throughout the festi-val: Art, Performance, Roots, Cookingand Ukrainian Independence Day.

It has been a busy summer for the RedwaterRCMP detachment. The numbers of calls for serviceremained the same as June 2020 at 250 but with amarked increase in driving complaints. A total of 40complaints were made with a majority being suspect-ed impaired drivers and unsafe passing. Chargeswere laid in two of the instances and multiple warn-ings were issued. In some cases, information waspassed on to neighbouring detachments that the sus-pect vehicles were travelling to. These types of callsfrom the public are an important piece of helpingkeep our highways safe. Please remember when call-ing in complaints to gather as much information forpolice as possible. In many cases the complaints lackimportant details we need when tracking down driv-ers. A great acronym to remember is CYMBL. Thisstands for color, year, make, body style and licenceplate. Direction of travel and the time you noted see-ing a driving infraction are helpful as well. Summeris a very busy time of year on the highways and manylarge commercial vehicles travel in this area as well.Let’s all remember to share the road and maintainsafe speeds. Be patient if you find yourself in a situ-ation where passing is necessary. Everyone deservesto get home safely!

During the month of July, the Redwater RCMPexecuted two Search Warrants on unrelated mattersand seized 10 firearms (2 confirmed stolen) approxi-mately 8 grams of Psilocybin (Mushrooms) a varietyof ammunition, 2 containers of pepper spray, approx-imately 5 grams of methamphetamine, along withsome other offence related property. Two adult malesfrom Thorhild County are facing charges in relationto these unrelated matters.

On August 6 at approximately 10:00 a.m., RCMPreceived a call reporting a vehicle on it’s roof. Thevehicle was camouflaged by long grass and quite adistance off the road. When members attended toinvestigate an injured male was found trapped inside.With the assistance of Fire and EMS the driver wassafely extracted from his vehicle and transported formedical attention.

After a very rainy spring and beginning of summerit is great to see people getting outside and enjoyingthe warmer weather. Vitamin D is vital for our over-all health and safe social distancing visits help withmental health during this interesting time. However,RCMP have received multiple noise complaint callsfrom loud backyard parties. Please remember to becourteous to your neighbours. Watch noise and musicvolume levels. Keep your fire pits reasonable and ifyour neighbour is outside, ask if they have any musicrequests!

We are happy to announce that beginning on Aug.11, citizens in all Alberta RCMP jurisdictions experi-encing loss or theft under $5000, or vandalism ofproperty or vehicles with damage less than $5000 torepair it, no longer need to call or visit a detachment– they can simply visit https://ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/alberta to report the occurrence. It takesabout 15 minutes to fill in the report and can be doneat anytime or place. Offering online crime reportingwill allow the public we serve to report crime inwhatever way is most convenient or accessible tothem. This is a big step in the right direction and it isjust one of many ways the RCMP is working on mod-ernizing the service we provide.

An update on Mountie the cat. After the first fosterhome did not work out, one of our amazing Consta-bles found Mountie his forever home. Special thanksto Dr. Iqbal at Gibbons Vet Clinic for the exemplarycare given to Mountie and to his new fur-parents foropening up their home. We can’t wait to see picturesof him as he settles in.

Back to school. A reminder that the school zone onHighway 18 in Thorhild is 70km/hr, keep watch forkids getting on and off the bus and walkingon our roads. With the kids returning toschool, some parents may also be return-ing to work. Some parents may be seenroaming the public roads in ranging instates of severe happiness to complete dis-appointment. Motorists are encouraged tokeep a close eye out to ensure everyone’ssafety.

The Redwater Detachment is seekingcommunity feedback. In the current worldof COVID-19 community engagementevents have become a challenge due tosocial distancing requirements. In order toseek important input from all stakeholders,the Redwater RCMP will be completingmonthly police briefs (like this one) inorder to keep the public aware of our activ-ities in the communities. In addition weencourage interaction and anyone with anyinquiries, questions, comments can contactus at [email protected] . All email submissionswill remain anonymous. During eachmonthly police brief members of thedetachment will answer a few of the ques-tions asked. We look forward to hearingfrom you.
