Opinion

Letter: Statement of facts - refuted I am writing this in reply to the Town of Lamont Response in the Leader dated Tuesday, November 4th.

The Facts - Actual Agreement Article 8 Duration It is understood and agreed that this agreement supersedes all previous agreements with the Town of Lamont and the Ag Society. This agreement will be for a period of 15 years with a yearly review of the fee schedule which is subject to change. Should the Ag Society fail or refuse to comply with this article, this agreement shall become null and void.

All Ag Society property must be removed within 30 days from the date of the agreement becoming null & void.

Letter from the Town of Lamont dated September 11, 2014 states: As outlined in Article 8 Duration, either party may terminate this agreement upon giving three (3) months written notice.

We advise that this letter is the Town of Lamont’s official three month notice to terminate the agreement.

Upon receipt of the letter from the Town, our Legal Council interpreted the termination to be as above and all property of the Ag Society removed within 30 days after the three month written notice. This brings us to January 11, 2015.

Mayor and council state that at no time the Ag Society was told to remove their property. I was approached by the

CAO the evening of Saturday, July 26th, 2014 outside the arena prior to our outside dance. The CAO loudly and with much profanity stated that she would put forth a recommendation to council first thing Monday morning that the (profanity) Ag Society remove their (profanity) equipment off of the Town’s (profanity) property as soon as possible. There were many witnesses to this loud outburst. She once again stated the above inside the beer gardens in the Arena audience to many witnesses.

In my opinion as well as many others this was a clear indication that the Ag Society is not welcome or wanted and that the equipment and the Ag Society be removed and banished from town.

The Conrad Schinkinger sign is not a possession of the Town of Lamont.

The removal of this sign is a decision to be made by the Schinkinger family. There is no reason to keep it in this location if the Ag Society Rodeo is not hosted there. The idea that the Mayor and council feel that this is their decision is misguided and delusional and I ask what right do you have to hold this sign and its significance hostage to once again harm the Ag Society?

The Board package is entirely another bone of contention.

An Ag Initiatives Grant was obtained through the Ag Society and it could not have been accessed without the Ag Society. The Town did put in the

5038 - 50 Avenue Box 1079, Lamont, AB, T0B 2R0 Phone 895-2780 - Fax 895-2705 Email: lmtleader@gmail.com Published every Tuesday at Lamont, AB Serving the Communities of Andrew, Bruderheim, Chipman, Hilliard, Lamont, Mundare, RR4 Tofield, Star and St. Michael

matching portion of $75,000 and the Ag Society put in an additional $18,000 to complete the project. This arrangement to access this grant and go ahead with this project in 2008 was in agreement between the Mayor, Council and CAO at the time. Would the Town rather have paid the total of $168,000 to provide the safety to those that use this facility or pay out a lawsuit should someone have got injured due to the deterioration of these boards?

Mayor and Council should be reminded that there is an opportunity to have sponsor signage to make some monies back for the ratepayers; this is yet to be acted upon by the Town or its administration.

The Town continues to bring up the history as they tell it. When we bring up history we are told that is not important and that we are looking to the future, however the Town continues to dwell on it and use it against us. The arena was in fact sold to the Town for $1.00. This agreement was made by two parties; The Town on the receiving end and the Ag Society on the selling end. What happened at the time, happened, and must have had consent on both sides to do this deal. At the time there was also another interested buyer; a local business man, but the Ag Society gave the Town first opportunity to take it over. Has Mayor Skinner ever consulted the Mayor, at the

Kerry Anderson Publisher

time of this deal, to get the correct facts? The Mayor and Council do not recognize that they have a facility and that is a benefit to this community, should the ratepayers have to build the facility now it would be at a great cost. The councillor that continues to bring it forth does not state that his father in law was also an executive member of the Ag Society when this deal was completed. First option to purchase was given to the Town and they took the offer. Can we please let this issue die already?

The penalty for the payment of the debenture on the facility does not recognize or point out that this payout also resulted in the savings of $45,000 interest. The challenge to pay off the debenture was put forth by the Ag Society and other service groups took the challenge.

Documentation of this is also available.

The Community Fair wrap-up meeting on September 4, 2014; present at this meeting were 4 out of the 11 service groups. One service group in attendance was represented by a councillor, which in my opinion is a conflict of interest.

We did not attend because our invitation was sent by email and our Secretary was away on vacation. We were told by a Councillor, that an “Out of Office” alert should have been placed on our email account.

Fair enough, however the technology is there to also have the sender

Michelle Pinon Editor

receive a read receipt on the outgoing email to obtain confirmation of it having been read. The Town did not use this technology, nor was there a follow up phone call or letter received.

These 4 representatives made the decision to remove the Rodeo from the Community Fair. The Summer Sizzler Rodeo and events; Demo Derby, Farmers Market, Bench Show and Combine Krunch have been presented and paid for by the Ag Society for as long as they have been in existence. It is just the last two years that the Town has felt they want to take it over.

The Ag Society will be holding their Annual Summer Sizzler Rodeo July 24, 25 and 26, 2015 at our new Conrad Schinkinger Memorial location. Please note this is not an action to belittle the Town or its Community Fair. Our Rodeo is a sanctioned event and we are unable to change our dates.

Along with our Rodeo all of our other events which include the Combine Krunch, Demo Derby, Farmers Market and Bench Show will continue to be hosted at the new site. I suggest to the Town and Council that this be brought up at their Community Fair meeting on November 20th. Should they decide to go the same weekend that will be their prerogative and at no time should the Ag Society be blamed for once again “ruining” their event.

For over 30 years I have and continue to be

Marline Umrysh Jodie TracyDerksen Harding Advertising Sales/ Ad Sales Office Manager/ Composition Ad Composition

a proud volunteer with the Lamont Ag Society and I am not looking to continue an ongoing slam against the Town.

However, it is my opinion that if the Mayor and Council are so interested in this community they would encourage communications and volunteers and not be brought down by gossip and hearsay. The petty jealously towards the success of the Ag Society and its members is to the point of complete disgust and embarrassment. We as volunteers have been called liars and been slandered over and over again by a Municipal body.

At the last election it was refreshing to see half the council as new members and there was a moment where a person would assume things would change for the growth of the community. It was hoped that these new members would stand up and be heard and not conform to become puppets and to find out what is really going on, not just that inside the walls of the Town of Lamont building. A reminder that by serving on Council you represent the people and earn respect, you do not own them and you do not make decisions without taking into account the people who pay your salary.

I am excited to move ahead to the future of the Lamont Ag Society and will no longer dwell on this nonsense. I suggest you do the same.

From Where ISit: True Patriot Strong

By Hazel Anaka October 22nd changed forever how as Canadians we see ourselves. Until that cowardly act ofterrorism on parliament hill we believed (incorrectly) we were immune to radical acts of extremism. We w ere Canada: global good guy. We hadn’t warranted the attention or hatred directed at the US.Historically, we had largely been peacekeepers and cheque writers when help was needed anywhere in the world.

That illusion w as destroyed alongwith our complacency. The mur-

der of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo brought out the best in Canadians in the days follow ing.

Parliamentarians behaved in a civil and statesmen like w ay.

Unbidden, retired military personnel began spontaneously standing guard at cenotaphs across the country. That handsome tw enty-four old reservist from H amilton became the face ofall that is good in Canada and the lightning rod for our collective grief. M emorials sprang up, crowds gathered along the Highway of Heroes, prayers were said, blessings w ere counted, O Canada was sung.

In a word, we lost our innocence that day. Yet, through it all Canadians decided to be remain strong and patriotic.

Consciously or unconsciously most of us resolved not to let some w arped ideological fanaticism steal our peace ofmind.

We are no longer naïïve. We now believe the Prime M inister when he talks of threats to Canada.We understand the reason CSIS, the RCM P and others can’t

tell us names, dates, places. H ow foolish would we have to be to tip our hand in that way j ust because the media or opposition parties demand to know?

In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, we learn that poppy sales are up.Isee more people wearing them on coats and lapels.Iexpect we’ll see more people recognizing that taking time to attend a ceremony in their community is small price to pay for the sacrifices former and current military personnel have made and continue to make.

I just w ish this renewed attitude ofgratitude would spill over into how we treat veterans the other 364 days a year.

No doubt Remembrance Day will become a national statutory holiday by next November.And despite the cost to the economy, it’s also pretty easy to do.

The gesture ofthe symbolism is noble.But are w e as a country adequately funding the care and treatment of veterans? We should be appalled at and ashamed ofthe suicide rate among personnel.Every time a

veteran or a spouse or parent has to go on national TV to plead their cause or offer a sound byte of explanation and frustration, we should be ashamed.

When w e shortchange their pensions or health coverage, we should be ashamed. When w e downplay the reality of PTSD and other debilitating inj uries we should be ashamed.

But, it’s not too late to do something about it.

Lip service and annual tributes aren’t enough.

Not ifwe truly want to be true patriot strong, from where Isit.

Former PCconstituency president announces candidacy The past president of the Conservative Party’s Vegreville-Wainw right C o n s t it u e n c y Association who led the region’s delegation to the Conservative Party’s National Convention in Calgary, is seeking the Conservative Party’s nomination in the newly created Lakeland Federal Constituency.

Terry James, a life-long farmer from the Vegreville region w ho spent tw enty years working as an innovator and developer with one of the w orld’s largest agricultural chemical companies says the one thing his extensive involvement in the Conservative Party has taught him more clearly than anything else, is

that, “the first obj ective ofevery M Pshould be to represent the views of the people to Ottaw a, rather than to represent Ottawa’s views back to the people.”

James says as an M Phe would have three clear priorities:continued economic growth, striving to enhance market access for the region’s resources, and smoothing out the bumps in the Temporary Foreign Workers program.

“When it comes to ensuring economic grow th there is no mystery as to why it happens,” James said. “The key ingredients are low taxes, government staying aw ay from deficits, property rights, and as little red tape and government

interference as necessary.” In our region of the country, to thrive economically there are a couple ofadditional factors w e have to pay attention to, James added.“We need unhindered access to markets and a reliable cost competitive transportation system.” In Alberta we are facing challenges in the field of rail transportation that are absolutely staggering, James said.“The bottleneck in the ag sector last year is something that many transportation experts say we will be seeing again, indicating that we must move to ensure that the grain, oilseeds, and petroleum products we produce in the region can get to the

markets in a way that is timely and cost effective.” With respect to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, James said it is obvious that Alberta is facing challenges in the labour procurement field that are unique to the province and that Alberta should therefore receive considerations that match the unique circum-stances.

James holds a Bachelor and M aster’s Degree in Science in Agriculture, and has undertaken some studies toward a PhD in the same field.

He is the father of four grown children.His family farm is j ust on the edge of celebrating its 100 anniversary.

Little Steps Day Care will open its doors at the former day care location, on Dec. 1st. Ow ners Vicky and Steve Williams are hositng an open house on Nov. 15 between 2 and 4 p.m.to meet w ith prospetive families.

“We have been running Little Steps Day Care in Redwater for 4 years now and expanding into Bruderheim gives us a chance to build on our success,” says Vicky.“It is an exciting opportunity to become part ofthe community and we look forward to providing our vital service to Bruderheim residents.”

The Town has worked

very hard to attract a new day care operator in order to meet the needs of residents. “This type ofbusiness is critical for a growing community,” comments Bruderheim M ayor, Karl Hauch.“We are positive that the Williams w ill take the day care to the next level ofgrowth.”

The Bruderheim population has grown 3.8% since 2012. A day care service will support this grow th and help to establish Bruderheim as a community of choice.

“There are certain fundamental building blocks a community requires in order to sustain growth.

A day care is definitely one ofthose.For young families consideringrelocating to Bruderheim, a day care is a necessity,” adds Councillor Dave M cCormack.

CLEAN ENERGY

97% OF ALBERTANS SUPPORT IMPROVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OIL AND GAS PROCESSING* We couldn’t agree more.

A provincial government strategy to make Alberta an environmental leader in energy will lead to more projects like Williams Energy Canada’s.

Williams captures by-product gas from the province’s oilsand upgraders to make propane, ethane and other valuable products in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

The first facility of its kind in the world, Williams’ facility reduces upgraders’ annual carbon dioxide emissions by 300,000 tonnes and sulpher dioxide emission by 3,200 tonnes.

Williams is also planning a new facility in Strathcona County that will use oilsands-derived propane to produce materials for plastics.

Our energy solutions are as close as home

Lamont doctor recalls his military tour ofduty Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont based physician Dr.John Slanina saw the horrors of War first hand treating soldiers and civilians during his six month stint overseas in the early 2000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

He describes hospital conditions as â&#x20AC;&#x153;poorâ&#x20AC;?and did w hat he could to treat casulties as well as donate instruments, equipment and w heelchairs during visits to several locations throughout the countryside.

The time he spent as a regimental doctor w as â&#x20AC;&#x153;intenseâ&#x20AC;?and said it was extremely difficult to relax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You sleep when you can.â&#x20AC;? Despite of excellent food and living conditions, Dr. Slanina said only having a relatively small perimeter of area cordoned off by barbed w ire felt more

like being imprisoned.

There were about 600 Canadian troops posted in the area hie was staying, and Dr.Slanina said he encountered many soldiers with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Dr.Slanina went on to serve a total of11 years in the Canadian Armed Forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost a lot of comrades in Afghanistan.â&#x20AC;? It is for those fallen soldiers that he pays tribute to on Nov.11th as well as all soldiers in the military.

A couple of months ago, Dr.Slanina received his official letter ofretirement.Even though he is no longer in the service to his country, Dr. Slaninaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart is always w ith the men and women who risk their lives to keep Canadians safe at home and abroad.

Have we kept the Faith our heroesplaced in us?

Along with founding members Stevenson and Bennett, four other outdoorsmen make up the

The six-man crew has affectionately coined itself ‘Team WildSide.’

“The ultimate goal will be less about the killing aspect, although you will see some great footage of some wonderful hunting and fishing action, and more about what draws us average outdoorsman back into the field year after year.

“The process. The relationships with nature and the friendships we forge with others while spending time in the field,” says Stevenson.

“The one aspect I was really excited about when our production team provided some input was the chance to have the film crew dive right into the lives of our entire families to enable

viewers to see how a family deals with their loved ones being gone for weeks on end,” says Bennett.

Episodes will be aired starting 2015, and the team will travel throughout Alberta and

Saskatchewan shooting the outdoor life they love.

The cast and crew were north of Sedgewick on Oct. 16 for four days, filming the first two episodes on an acreage owned by Stevenson

with his father.

Stevenson says, “I more or less grew up hunting in Flagstaff County.”

MEMORIAM

In memory of our Mom, Nana and Great Nana.

Barbara Harrison, November 14, 2009.

Quietly remembered everyday, sadly missed along life's way.

Gone are the days we used to share.

But in our hearts, you are always there.

Memories silently kept, of one we loved and won't forget.

Lynn, Rennie and family TM42p ________________________

In memory of our Dad, Papa and Great Papa.

Alfred Harbak November 20, 2009.

A heart of gold stopped beating.

Working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Leaves and flowers may wither.

The golden sun may set, but the hearts that loved you dearly, are the ones that won't forget.
