The Smile Project

MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Grade 6 students from Lamont Elementary School will be sharing their smiles and their art throughout the Town of Lamont this week.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Grade 6 students from Lamont Elementary School will soon be giving folks a reason to smile.

Actually, they will be giving 32 lucky people a reason to smile as they will be spreading smiles and happiness throughout the community this week when they drop off their cheerful paintings at random public places and spaces throughout town for people to enjoy this holiday season.

The purpose behind The Smile Project is to simply make people smile. The initiative was originally started by Boston based artist Bren Bataclan who is the inspiration behind the project.

Bataclan has been giving away his paintings in public spaces throughout the US and around the world free of

charge since 2003. Each painting comes with a note saying, “This painting is yours if you promise to smiles at random people more often.”

The students are going to be following suit, and some of the places they have already earmarked include: the hockey arena, curling rink, public library, post office, and grocery store to name a few. The students were more than happy to share their thoughts on the project they have been working on over the past couple of days.

The Grade 6 class also read one of Bataclan’s book. As teacher Mrs. Beck explained, eight book club students asked her if they could do The Smile

Project. She agreed, and soon, the rest of the students were reading the book, and making plans of their own. Each of the students have painted at least one painting, and have added their own flair and personality into their

paintings. Since Bataclan’s signature style is colourful backgrounds, with minimum details, not exclusive to people, which he paints without noses or ears, but also places and things.

Bataclan also paints murals and gives presentations at schools, hospitals and businesses to spread art and happiness to everyone everywhere.

Bren’s project is about the positive power of art and how the simple gesture of leaving a painting for free can spread joy and laughter, and has been an effective way to teach children the power of kindness and sharing their own art projects.

Now Bataclan’s mission will be carried out in Lamont by these inspired individuals who will surely make the season bright for those who will be fortunate enough to discover their unique paintings and one of a kind anonymous gifts from their heart.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, December 13, 2016

Opinion Rotational Shift I don’t often spend a lot of time in hospitals, but last week I spent about a day and a half in Lamont and Fort Saskatchewan as my husband was trying deal with the painful symptoms related to a kidney stone.

The first stop was the emergency at the Lamont Health Care Centre late Tuesday afternoon as my husband was suffering from searing and burning pain, along with a fever and chills. Unable to keep any water down, or go to the bathroom I knew an IV (intravenous) would be required to help with dehydration. I was just grateful we didn’t have far to travel for medical assistance. About three hours after he was admitted he was given the option to stay overnight or go home until he would be given an ultrasound at the Fort Saskatchewan hospital the following morning.

I drove him to Fort Saskatchewan where he had an ultra sound, and was told to return to emergency in Lamont where he would receive the test results. Waiting for the results took almost two hours, and he was given a prescription for various painkillers.

It took another day and a half before the kidney stone passed through his body, and while weak he was grateful the pain was over. It’s always unsettling when serious health issues come out of the blue, and require your full attention that takes you away from your home, family, and sometimes work.

It’s disconcerting. Being unsettled and pretty much helpless is never a a good feeling, but it is a reminder that we should always be grateful for our health and try to take care as best we can our physical and mental state.

Most of the time I get caught up in a whirlwind of places to go, people to see, and things to do, that I don’t get the chance to see and reflect on what is happening all around me and to my husband and son. There is a reason and purpose for everything, we may not realize or understand that, but we have to accept that.

While I was waiting in emergency for those many hours I saw a lady in a wheelchair, who would use her legs to propel her around the nurses station. I wondered if she ever got tired of going in circles, travelling seamlessly and seemingly without a purpose and without an ending or a beginning. As Noel Harrison sang in 1968, “Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel.

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel. As the images unwind, like the circles that you find. In the windmills of your mind.”

The experience made me more aware of the passage of time, and how we all have to be more mindful of the things we say and do, and to be in the moment, no matter what the moment brings you.

From Where I Sit: Make It Out Alive

By Hazel Anaka I’m not sure where this prolonged cold snap has found you. You may fall in with the retired crowd. These lucky souls don’t have to leave their houses unless they really, really want to. They can stay inside, all snuggly and warm. Lingering over their morning coffee and eggs while listening to the forecast is as close to getting ‘out there’ as they get. If they’re real weather nerds they’ll confirm and compare what they hear with their own home weather station readouts. Minus thirty-five wind chill in Edmon-

ton—-hah, wimps—here it’s minus thirtyeight! Playing cards, tackling a crossword puzzle or jigsaw, or having an afternoon nap in the recliner are all on the agenda for the day.

Farmers with chores, on the other hand, are hit yet again in a year full of bad news. Many find themselves short of feed and bedding. Many cattle operators are weeks behind in the usual fall husbandry tasks: bringing the cattle home from distant pastures, weaning the calves, administering vaccinations and other treatments. And for those who are still trying to keep what grain they did combine from turning into a caked, ashy clump, there’s that. Keeping the grain dryers going, moving the grain, or maintaining the fans, heaters, propane bottles or generators has become a vital make-work project, no matter the temperature.

Anyone in the traditional workforce is in a different boat. Employers don’t really care what you need to do to get there on time and ready to put in a good day’s work. Plug in your vehicle, leave home earlier, safeguard your health so you’re not infecting your colleagues, suck it up.

Malingerers and dead wood are at risk of losing their jobs in this economic climate because many hungrier for that job are out there looking for their chance.

Or maybe you had the foresight to book your trip to a sunny beach during this atrocious weather. Kudos! All of us have traveled during unseasonably warm weather at home only to have it turn ugly the day we return. I hope you enjoyed it because there is still a lot of winter left.

In fact, according to the calendar, winter hasn’t yet started. Oh my.

If you are parent to

small kids, you are in yet another boat. All their extra-curricular activities march ahead whether it makes sense or not. I think of my seven yearold grandson who’s got hockey practice at 6:15 AM and evening and weekend games at all hours.

With some schools banning outdoor recesses because of the temperature, there is a lot of pent-up energy that kids and parents need to cope with.

And finally, heaven help you if you are homeless. Edmonton’s homeless are being allowed access to underground transit stations when they are normally closed between one and five AM. Regardless of which group you occupy, these temperatures are dangerous. We owe it to ourselves and others to make sure we all make it out alive, from where I sit.

Public information meeting to be held Michelle Pinon Editor

The proposed closure of the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Case Processing Centre in Vegreville is expected to have far reaching implications, not only to employees and their families, but to businesses and charitable organizations throughout the northeast region.

Because of that, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) has organized a Community Forum to inform the public about the federal government’s recent decision and possible ramifications during a meeting on Sunday, December 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the Vegreville Social Centre.

“This will not just affect employees in Vegreville, but people in surrounding communi-

ties,” said Marianne Hladun, Regional Executive Vice-President of the PSAC Prairie Region. She went on to say, the case processing centre has been a cornerstone of the community for more than 20 years, employs 280 workers, (five per cent of the town’s population), making it one of the largest employers in the town.

Hladun, believes the closure of the centre, slated for 2018, will kill other jobs in the community, close businesses, devastate property values, and undermine the tax base. She also believes the move has nothing to do with efficiency, and everything to do with the Liberals centralization philosophy.

Because the centre is a mail in centre, where the employees electronically process application

forms, and there are no actual customers in the facility, it does not matter where the employees are located in order for them to perform their jobs.

Having operations of the centre move to Edmonton, would not make it more efficient, and would cause employees to commute hundreds of kilometres each day. The employees would not be compensated for their mileage, let alone travel time, which would be around three hours a day. “My understanding is that parking downtown is in excess of $300 per month,” noted Hladun, and that too would be considered an out of pocket expense.

If employees relocate to Edmonton for their job, Hladun said that would take them and their children out of the

community and local schools, and negatively impact the entire town.

“We’ve received dozens of emotional emails from members worried about what the closure will mean for the future of their careers, their families and their community. We created this online action (letter campaign), so Minister McCallum could see first hand the distress this has caused for workers and their families, and the support they’re receiving throughout Canada.”

Both Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs and Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood have been working hard to fight the decision and advocate on behalf of constituents.

“So far we’ve collected 3,000 signatures on our petition,” stated Littlewood, who has also received around 50

phone call and 50 emails on the issue since the announcement was made on Oct. 27.

Some of the concerns she has heard are job losses, the impact pulling students out of school, business closing, loss of economic spinoffs in the community and lowering of property values.

MLA Littlewood has also been reading letters written on behalf of MLAs in the Legislature, and having them tabled and then forwarded to the labour minister.

MP Stubbs took the floor of the House of Commons last week, and

read for more than an hour, letters from residents about the impact of the planned closure of the case processing centre. Stubbs told the Immigration Minister she wants a full economic impact analysis of the decision. She said the announcement has caused extreme anxiety and escalating stress, and that the decision will completely devastate the community of 5,800 residents. Her office has receive about 100 letters and more than 200 phone calls on the issue.

Both MLA Littlewood and MP Stubbs will be two of five speakers at the community forum.

The other speakers will include: Vegreville Mayor Myron Hayduk, Campaign Lead Michelle Henderson and PSAC National Vice President in Vegreville Chris Aylward.

RCMP launch school zone initiative

Michelle Pinon Editor

At the beginning of October Fort Saskatchewan RCMP in partnership with Municipal Enforcement members took part in a traffic enforcement/ educational initiative in the City of Fort Saskatchewan.

Cst. Suzanne Ahlstrom with the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP stated that plans are in the works to bring this initiative to the towns of Bruderheim and Lamont in the near future.

The purpose of the initiative, explained Cst. Ahlstrom, was for motorists to reduce speeds in school zones. It also included an optional educational component for offenders that were observed. During this project 76 violation tickets were issued. There was a fine amount associated or the option was given to attend one of two information sessions offered in lieu of paying the fine amount.

The turnout for the information sessions which offered education for the safe travel through school and playground zones was a success. Of the violators located, 60 per cent took the option to attend the information session resulting in no fine amount being required to be paid.

Feedback from the public was well received.

The attendees relayed that they were appreciative of the educational aspect being offered, and observed this program to be informative and a good refresher for road safety.

With winter approaching, noted Cst. Ahlstrom, it is important for motorists to remind themselves of the rules of the road, and to give themselves more time to arrive at their destination safely. “Speed limits are set for a reason. The faster you are travelling, the longer your stopping distance will be.”

Local Capital Region Board members lose their voice Michelle Pinon Editor

Three local municipalities will no longer have a say on the Captial Region Board CRB)..

The official announcement came from Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee during the Dec. 8 CRB meeting.

The Town of Bruderheim, Town of Lamont, and Lamont County will not be members or part of the decision making process going forward.

The number of member municipalities was reduced substantially by Municipal Affairs, dropping from 24 to 13 starting in the fall of 2017.

“With continuing growth and limited resources, and the significant opportunities for regions to collaborate to compete, growth management board are too important to leave to partnerships.” Larivee also told CRB members last Thursday that because of the CRB’s success, it will remain the “template for growth management boards”

particularly in the Calgary region as the province renews the Municipal Government Act, which is expected to take effect in mid-2017.

Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch expressed his disappointment that the town, which has been a member since the CRB’s inception, will no longer be part of the planning process. “The town has been an active member and benefitted from the partnerships we have made.”

While the town doesn’t want to be left out of the CRB membership, it was not given a choice in the matter. However, Minister Larivee did say before concluding the announcement, that she was open to the comments and suggestions of the members before finalizing the revised CRB regulation. A discussion guide on the proposed changes has been distributed, with feedback requested by Jan. 31, 2017.

Hauch said it was important to have a voice and be at the table,

and there were several examples of when it proved beneficial. One example was when the town was able to have direct input on proposed pipeline projects. “Now the CRB will be creating future plans for our area…It’s disappointing that we won’t be a part of it.” added Hauch.

Lamont County Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Robyn Singleton said the minister’s announcement came as a surprise to him as well as Reeve Wayne Woldanski, who has sat on the CRB since it began operating in April of 2008.

Even though the county was not given an opportunity or the option to leave the CRB by the

province, council passed a motion at its Dec. 9 budget meeting to accept the review and its findings. The motion passed unanimously.

Singleton said he was left with the impression the 13 municipalities that still remain members of the CRB will have to pay more in the future to belong. As well several of the initiatives outlined in the review will be larger in scope and cost more money to complete.

The municipalities that will still remain in the CRB will include the four counties surrounding the city of Edmonton, (Leduc, Parkland, Strathcona, and Sturgeon Counties), and the eight

cities and towns within those borders, with populations of more than 5,000 (Beaumont, Devon, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Morinville, Spruce Grove, St. Albert and Stony Plain).

Town of Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner had

not commented at press time. Back on Oct. 27, 2015 Lamont town council voted in favour of terminating its status as a participating municipality in the CRB. All of council, with the exception of Skinner, voted in favour of the motion.

Bruderheim Fire Department hosts 37th annual gala Michelle Pinon Editor

Shawn Lawrence joined the Bruderheim Fire Department in May of 2015 because he said he wanted to give back to the community, and on December 3rd, he was rewarded for his efforts, receiving the Firefighter of the Year Award.

Fire Chief Dave Calder said each member of the fire department votes by casting a secret ballot, and the recipient of the award isn’t announced until the annual gala evening. “The selection is done by voting for the person you feel best represents the fire department for the past year.

“There are several things that are taken into consideration such as number of incidents the person attended, number of practices the member attended, courses the members took during the year, volunteer hours donated to the fire department/community like cooking pancakes on July 1st or helping with Fire Prevention at the school.”

Lawrence said he was “humbled” to be chosen by the people he works with on the department, but that it’s the “efforts of everyone that made it (the award) possible.” Lawrence responded to 26 calls this past year, and also participated in the PARTY Program and STARS In The Sky as well as assist with the pancake breakfast on Canada Day. “It’s nice being part of a group where the things you do matter.”

He is continually upgrading his training, and especially enjoyed the Hasmat training live exercise he participated in at Agrium. He is looking forward to completing his Level 1 and 2 training in the future as it will bring him up to a universal standard. He has already learned many things since he started, working his way from the ground up, and is always glad to share what he has learned with fellow members.

This is his first volunteer experience in the community, and he is very happy with how it’s turning out, and plans to continue to make a difference for years to come.

The Bruderheim Fire Department was formed in 1915, and continues to serve the Town of Bruderheim and Lamont County as a part-time fire department.

Shell Scotford completes major project SUBMITTED ARTICLE Shell announced on Dec. 1 that it had successfully completed a major growth project at its Scotford Refinery near Edmonton, Alberta that will increase hydrocracker production capacity by 20%.

The project was completed through the debottlenecking of the hydrocracker, a core refining unit for making transportation fuels, such as diesel and jet fuel.

The debottlenecking process replaces vessels, compressors and feed pumps to allow a greater volume of heavy crude oil to be processed.

“The completion of this upgrade will enhance the performance and competitiveness of Scotford’s integrated operations, which helps secure our position as an industry leader in this important region,” said Lori Ryerkerk, Executive Vice President for Shell’s global Manufacturing business.

“This investment, in combination with other

recent strategic investments, is a clear demonstration of Shell’s ongoing commitment to our refining and chemicals portfolio.”

The project will equate to a 14,000 barrel per day increase in the unit’s production and enable Scotford, one of North America’s most efficient and modern refineries, to deliver more high-quality diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline to customers.

An integrated site with a bitumen upgrader, oil refinery, chemical plant and carbon-capture-andstorage unit, Scotford produces a full range of products for the Western Canadian market.

The project received a final investment decision in January 2015. It created 1,000 construction positions in the Edmonton area to install the new and modified equipment.

“Scotford is Shell’s oil refining hub in western Canada. The enhancement of our hydrocracker increases our ability to process crude oil from Fort McMurray and strengthens our refining capability in Alberta,” said Achim Schempp, General Manager for Scotford Manufacturing site. “It has been 17 months of hard work to complete this project.

I’m proud of the col-

laboration that delivered this ambitious project safely, on time and on budget.”

• Shell Scotford is one of North America’s most efficient and modern hydrocarbon processing complexes.The Upgrader – a Shell-operated joint venture with Chevron Canada Ltd. and Marathon Oil Canada Corp. – processes 255,000 bbl/d of bitumen and the Refinery – a 100% Shell-owned business – processes 100,000 bbl/d of crude oil. Scotford makes a wide range of products, including a variety of fuels and feedstock for chemical plants.

Shell fueling kindness

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Shell hosted the “Fuelling Kindness” event on Monday, December 12. Employees stopped in at the Lamont Public Library to spread holiday cheer and presented candy bags to deserving students.

Pictured in this photo are Maureen Feduniak, upper right, and Miranda Kroeker, bottom right.

Michelle Pinon Editor Fuelling Kindness first began in 2014, and the Dec. 12 event, was the fourth one the company has hosted in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

Shell Community Liason Officer Jessica Blackmore stated, Fuelling Kindness is a way for our employees to give back to the communities where we live and work. This event in Lamont County is the first of three Fuelling Kindness days that Shell is having in December. We will have over 20 employees going out to do random acts of kindness in Lamont, Bruderheim, Fort Saskatchewan and Strathcona County.”

She went on to say, “The day isn’t about trying to reach a certain number of acts of kindness, but rather about getting to know and making a connection with people in our community. We hope that by doing these small acts that we can make someone’s day a little better and we hope that they can then go on and spread the holiday cheer.”

Andrew Seniors Lodge community engagement session Jan. 9 Michelle Pinon Editor

The evening of Monday, January 9 has been set aside for a Community Engagement Open House at the Andrew Senior Citizens Lodge.

Village of Andrew Mayor Heather Tait confirmed the date and time of the event, that will go from 5:30 -7:30 p.m. that evening with the meal being provided by the Lamont County Housing Foundation, which is hosting the open house.

The purpose of the open house is to discuss options for increasing the utilization of the Andrew Senior Citizens Lodge with residents of the village and surrounding area in order to increase the efficiency of the lodge, and ensure it remains a viable and sustainable operation over time.

Consultants Dr. Dobbs and Gary Gordon will have a power point presentation to make, and there will be time for

open discussion following that.

Tait went on to say that letters have already been sent to various groups and organizations in Andrew, and posters will also be made up and posted so that residents who live in and around Andrew will be aware of the open house.

Back on November 16 members of the Lamont County Housing Foundation (LCHF) met with the consultants.

Tait, who also serves as the village’s representative on the LCHF, said the meeting morphed into a positive brainstorming session that may offer several solutions to-wards a viable lodge.

“We are looking forward to obtaining an outline as to its direction, hopefully early in the New Year.

“Also, there will be further discussions midDecember regarding Andrew Lodge.”

She went on to say, “The Lamont County Housing board members

have expressed several times, Andrew Lodge’s closure is not an option, there are ways to diversify while keeping in mind the need for sustainabili-

ty. More information shall be forthcoming in 2017.

“As Mayor of Andrew, I shall continue to lobby and do all that can be

done to be the voice for our community and lodge.”

Tait has participated in several information sessions regarding inclusion

recently, and said that is key to ensuring positive growth and unity within the community.
