Ukuba ngumhloli wezehlakalo kuyinto yokuphila impilo yonke.

Uthando lukaKen Allred lwesimo sendawo alunamkhawulo, futhi umdlandla wakhe wesifundo obonakala kuma-newbies njenge-equation yezibalo uyathathelana.

I-St. Albert MLA ethathe umhlalaphansi ayicabangi kabili ngokukhomba ukuthi abahloli bamandla bakagesi uma sebeshayele izimpawu zomhlaba ezilula emhlabathini. Kusenjalo emakhulwini eminyaka kamuva, lezi zibalo zibhekwa njengezimpawu zokuphila. Izikhumbuzo zesimo sendawo zichaza imingcele kazwelonke neyamazwe omhlaba, kepha ezingeni elincane, zichaza imingcele yendawo yabo bonke abanikazi bepasela. Ukubaluleka kwayo kubuyela emuva okokuqala lapho abantu bemi esiqeshini somhlaba futhi baqala ukuphikisana ngokuthi idwala ngalinye likabani.

"Umsebenzi uyaqhubeka Ukubaluleka kwama-topographers ingatholakala eBhayibhelini, encwadini yeTestamente Elidala kaDuteronomi, lapho kubhekwa khona ubunini bomhlaba. Abahloli bamazwe baseCanada abafana noSamuel de Champlain noma uJacques Cartier babengabadwebi bebalazwe ngempela ababedala amamephu ezindawo ezisogwini. Emalokishini esimanje, imingcele yokugcina yomhlaba, echaza ukuthi umhlaba ungubani nanoma yini ekuwo, inqunywa ngokubuka kwendawo,” kusho u-Allred.

Ukuthandwa kwakhe yi-Topography kwaqala eminyakeni engu-50 edlule ngomsebenzi weholide, ehlobo, ngesikhathi efunda ubunjiniyela eNyuvesi yase-Alberta.

“Bekuyisifundo esidingeka kuqala kubafundi bezobunjiniyela. Nganginethimba labacwaningi abasebenza emngceleni osenyakatho weWerton National Park. Ngabona umhloli wamazwe ovela e-Ottawa eza futhi ethola umkhondo wophawu lwenkuni olwalusebenza njengomaka womngcele; Leli qiniso lingijabulisile, ngoba ngangiqonda ukuthi ukuze ube ngumhloli wamazwe kumele ube yingxenye yomseshi ”kusho u-Allred.

Nakuba iningi labahlali baseSt. Albert bekhumbula u-Allred ngezinkulumo zakhe zezombangazwe njengeCity Councilman kanye nelungu leSishayamthetho sase-Alberta, ngemuva kwehlobo e-Waterton, u-Allred waba ngumhloli wezokubusa kukahulumeni futhi nguye owokuqala umsebenzi oqeqeshiwe

Intshisekelo yakhe kule ndaba yakhangisa kangangoba, njengomsebenzi wokuzilibazisa, wenza isifundo ngomlando wesimo sendawo. U-Allred uchithe iningi lamahora akhe amahhala efuna izimpawu zomlando ezidumile njengesikhumbuzo seminyaka engu-300 ubudala se-Mason-Dixon Line e-United States noma umngcele we-Stelae osasele eduzane ne-Aswan Dam eMfuleni iNayile, yize ukuthi lisikwe edwaleni ngabaseGibhithe lasendulo.

 "Eziningi zalezo zimpawu zasendulo ziyimisebenzi yobuciko," kusho u-Allred ngenkathi esitshengisa izithombe zezikhumbuzo zasendulo, kuhlanganise nekhophi lesikhumbuzo saseBabiloni.

Itshe laseBabiloni lesikhathi seKassite esise-1700 AC sigcizelelwe ngokubhala okudala okuchaza ukuthi ubani onomhlaba nokuthi le nto yayisiyisisombululo somphikisana nomngcele, kusho u-Allred.

"Lokhu kubonisa indima abacwaningi ababenayo nokubaluleka kokubeka imingcele yokuxazulula izimangalo zomakhelwane ngokumelene neontanga," usho kanje.

Isikhumbuzo siyale

Umthetho ojwayelekile wesithupha sokwakheka komhlaba ukuthi itshe lesikhumbuzo liyinkosi. Lo mthetho yiwona ohlala uqine kuzo zonke izingxabano zemingcele.

Ama-oda avezwe noma imibhalo ebhaliwe ayinamandla afanayo nophawu lomhloli. Ngisho nesinqumo sangempela asiwubeki umugqa weqiniso emhlabathini okhombisa lapho impahla yomuntu iqala khona kanye nenye iphela.

Endabeni ye-Mason-Dixon Line, ngokwesibonelo, indlela yokubonisana kusukela ngawo-1700 ukuthi iNkosi yaseNgilandi yayisungule ubunikazi bomhlaba kaWilliam Penn ngesisekelo se-40th. Kodwa-ke, inhlolovo yokuqala eyenziwe ayizange ibikuleso.

Kodwa-ke, lapho isinqumo somngcele singena enkantolo, amamaki asungulwe ekuvukeni kwasekuqaleni ayegcinwa. Lokhu kwakusho ngemuva ukuthi, ngokusekelwe emgqeni ochazwe ekucwaningweni kweMason-Dixon, i-Philadelphia itholakala ePennsylvania hhayi eMaldin.

"Isimiso esifanayo sisalokhu sisebenza emikhawulweni yamazwe njengaleyo ehambisana ne-49," kusho u-Allred. "Umngcele waseCanada - eNyakatho Melika awikho ncamashi ngokufana no-49."

Izindawo eziphuthumayo

Eduze nomuzi wakhe, ngo-1861, umpristi u-Albert Lacombe wanikela lapha, kubahlali bokuqala bezwe eSt. Albert, uhlelo lokumaka endaweni ethile enamathiselwe emfuleni osuselwa kunqubo yeQuebec. Ikholoni ngalinye lathola isiqeshana somhlaba esigezwe yi-River Sturgeon.

Ngo-1869, umhloli wamazwe ogama lakhe linguMajor Webb wathunyelwa nguHulumeni waseCanada ukuthi ayohlola izindawo ezinemibhoshongo eseRed River settlement eManitoba, esebenzisa indlela yezindawo ezinamacala ayisithupha. ULouis Riel ubuyekeze inqubo yocwaningo lukaMajor Webb wayimisa.

U-Allred uthumele umculi uPaul Lavoie waseSt. Albert ukudweba imidwebo ebonisa lesi sikhashana semlando.

"Ngesikhathi uRiel emisa lokho kulandelana kwenqubo yokuhlola, kwashintsha isimo sendawo yasentshonalanga yeCanada," kusho u-Allred.

Inqubo esetshenziswe ocwaningweni eManitoba kwakuyindlela yokuthengisa. UWebb bekudingeka ukuthi akhuphule amaphasela omhlaba angamahektare angama-800 ngomzamo wokuheha izifiki enyakatho yomngcele wase-US. Abantu baseMelika bakha imiphakathi yabo endaweni engamahektare angama-600.

"Bazama ukuheha abahlali ngokunikeza izwe elingaphezu kukaMelika," kusho u-Allred.

Uhlelo lwamaphasela wokuvuna nalo lwaba yinkinga eSt. Albert. Ngo-1877, abahloli bamazwe abahlanu, beholwa yi-Chief Inspector M. Deane, bathunyelwa besuka e-Edmonton baya eSt. Albert.

"Abahlali baseMestizo baphikisana nomsebenzi weqembu labacwaningi ngoba uhulumeni wesifundazwe ufuna ukuhlukanisa izwe libe yizigaba," kusho uJean Leebody, umxhumanisi wombukiso eMnyuziyamu wezeMhlalaphansi manje, oye wacwaninga inkinga yezobuciko eSt. Albert.

“Okunye okube yinkinga wukuthi abakwa-mestizo bebengayikhiphi ngokusemthethweni imithombo yezimali. Babenemibhalo kuphela ngaphandle kwenani elisemthethweni. E-St. Albert, abahlali be-mestizo basabisa ngokumisa umsebenzi uma kungalungiswa indlela yokuhambisa amaphepha emfuleni, lokhu kuphoqe abakwa-Oblates noFata Leduc ukuthi bangenelele. "

Abahlali be-mestizo babuka uDeane nethimba lakhe belinganisa iSt Albert ngenhloso yokwakha uhlelo lokwabiwa komhlaba olungenzeka edolobheni futhi baqala ukwethuka ngoba besaba ukulahlekelwa yilungelo lomhlaba. Uma lokhu kukalwa kabusha, amakholoni aphikisana nokuthi, okungenani imindeni eyisikhombisa izoba nengxenye efanayo yomhlaba. Ezinye izifiki zazizolahlekelwa ukufinyelela emfuleni owawudingeka kakhulu kwezolimo nokudoba. Yonke imigwaqo, ebihambisana nayo, kuzofanele ishintshwe.

“Uhulumeni akasifundanga isifundo. Akafundanga ngokwenzekile eManitoba futhi kudale izinkinga lapha naseBatoche eSaskatchewan, ”kusho u-Allred.

Ngokufanayo, abahlali baseSt. Albert bathola uhlelo lokuhlola uhlelo olusemthethweni ngenxa yokuthi uhlelo lokusabalalisa lwama-Father Oblate lwaletha ukungavumelani okuningi.

Ngokwencwadi yomlando wakule ndawo iBlack Robe's Vision, izicelo zomhlaba zazidingeka nsuku zonke. Abahlali abasha bavele babeka isigxobo ekugcineni kwempahla yabo.

Ukubukeka kwababhenki bakahulumeni kwaletha lo mbuzo phambili futhi umhlangano womphakathi wahanjiswa eSt. Albert owabanjelwa abantu abavela eminye imiphakathi yamanzi ehlanganisa Fort Saskatchewan nase-Edmonton. Izisekelo zaphakanyiswa kanti uBaba Leduc noDaniel Maloney, ohlala eSt. Albert, bathunyelwa e-Ottawa ukuzofaka icala, balondoloze uhlelo lokwahlukaniswa kwemifula eSt. Albert. Baye baphumelela, futhi ngenxa yalokho uhlelo lwamaphakheji lwamanje lugcinwa.

“Njengoba idolobha likhula izindela zadayisa umhlaba wazo wahlukaniswa. Njengoba idolobha lalikhula, labo ababenenkatho engasemfuleni bathengisa impahla yabo; lezi zithengisiwe njengezigcawu esinazo manje e-St. Albert,” kusho u-Leebody.

Umsebenzi wokuthungatha

Izimpawu zomlando ezindala ezibekwe ngabahloli bezwe seziyizimpawu ezicacile kodwa akulula ukuzithola.

Lapho amanzi ephakama noma ewa, njengasendabeni yeBig Lake, imingcele isadingeka ukuba isungulwe. Futhi uma izimila zikhula ezindaweni eziphawulekayo, lezi zingase zibe nzima nakancane ukuthola.

“Ithuluzi elibaluleke kakhulu lomhloli yifosholo. Kwesinye isikhathi abahloli bama-survey bayamba futhi babheke indilinga egqwalile lapho ingqophamlando ibhidlike khona kodwa ukuba khona kwesikhunta esishiywe yilokho kwanele,” kusho u-Allred.

Ukuze kuboniswe ubunzima bokuthola izimpawu zomhlaba, u-Allred wabonisa lokho okwakumele kube uphawu emgwaqweni futhi owawubizwa nge-R-4; Itholakala phakathi kwehlathi lase-White Spruce ngase-lake elikhulu.

"Lokhu mhlawumbe bekuyi-marker eyingxenye ye-riparian subdivision," esho.

Umaki njengamanje uyisigxobo esine-tape ebomvu yomhloli wepulasitiki enamathiselwe phezulu. Lapho u-Allred esusa amaqabunga nemfucumfucu, wathola umaki wensimbi wokuqala. Endaweni ezungezile, wabuye wathola ukucindezeleka okungajulile emhlabathini.

“Ngingathola ukudangala okukodwa manje, kodwa emgwaqeni onguthelawayeka oseceleni komfula bekufanele kube nezindawo ezine zokulala ezingama-intshi angu-12 ukushona kanye namasentimitha-skwele angu-18 endaweni. I-Depressions ibe wuphawu olwengeziwe ukuze abalimi bangalimi phezu kwayo futhi ngenxa yalokhu abamakayo bangalahleka,” usho kanje.

Wathola isimangaliso emsebenzini walezo zincwadi zakuqala ezaziqhenya ngokungaziwayo, ngokuvamile zihlala ezindaweni ezingaphephile zezwe futhi zibhekene nezimo ezimbi kakhulu zezulu.

“Abahloli bangamavulandlela. Odabeni lukaThompson kwakuwumsebenzi owenziwe ngokuphelele ngokubheka izinkanyezi. Besingekho enye indawo ebesiyibhekise kuye,” kusho u-Allred.

Uhleka usulu ngombono wokuhlola ukuthi uyadangalisa.

“Okuningi kuxhomeke ezicini zezwe futhi ingxenye ngayinye yayo inemingcele,” uyasitshela.

“Abahloli kumele babe yizingcweti ku-trigonometry; badinga ukukwazi ukuqonda izimiso zomthetho kanye nobuciko nokwenza amamephu kanye nezwe. Kufanele bazi ukuthi yini eyayikhona ngaphambili. I-Topography ingumlando”.
