Firefighters responded to a vehicle fire in Lamont Sunday afternoon. Shortly after 1:30 p.m. crews were called to 48 Ave and 50th Street where a Ford half ton truck was fully engulfed in flames. Fire Chief John Helton was busy filling out the incident report while fire firefighters doused the flames and kept a close eye on the situation for about an hour. This was the first time this year firefighters had this type of fire in 2015, and the suspected cause of the fire was an electrical short.

Opinion Truthful hurtful hateful "Truth doesn't have to be liked. It only has to be spoken. Speak it out. The truth may hurt you, but it will set you free." Amish Tripathi. I can personally attest to the hurt aspect of speaking the truth as their have been several unrelated occurrences in recent weeks. These occurrences all have one thing in common though - pain. While it is one thing to criticize a decision; it is another to attack a person’s character. To draw the line between one and the other is not fair in my opinion. I do understand, however, that it is natural for a person to want to lash out; but to persecute someone and treat them with hostility is another. I now have a better understanding why so many people choose not to speak the truth, and I was told about a recent incident, and the reasons why the person didn’t want to go public with the truth. They told me they didn’t want to deal with “the drama” that would surely ensue if they went public with their side of the story. They were concerned about the consequences it would have professionally, personally, and possible consequences through retaliatory actions of the other person in the story. Then I thought if you are sharing the story with other people informally, it will only be a matter of time before the story makes its way back to the ears of the other person; i.e. the other side of the story. What is better, hearing the truth directly or indirectly from someone else? Also, there are many things that get lost in translation as people share the story amongst themselves. I admire people who call a spade a spade; providing they have firsthand information as well as ALL of the facts in front of them and have taken the time to really look at all aspects of an issue. I don’t take my decisions, professional and personal, lightly. Someone told me the other day to remember who and where the source of information was coming from. Good advice.

Letter to the Editor Deficit Reduction Option: Revisited I spoke to Scott Hennig, Vice President of Communications with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation a couple of weeks ago asking whether he could support the Deficit Reduction Option published in the Jan. 27, 2015 edition of the Lamont Leader. Mr. Hennig called back to inform me he could not support the option presented as it would increase Alberta's debt, (by the level of bonds issued.) On reflection, I understand and agree with the position expressed; consequently, it was necessary to re-visit the original proposal which I felt had a good basis behind
Kerry Anderson Publisher
it. Everything expressed in the January 27, 2015 proposal as stated applies, except that purchaser of Deficit Reduction Bonds would be the “Heritage Trust Fund,” held as an investment in recovery of the Alberta Advantage, which hopefully takes no longer than two years. With current interest rates at historic rates, below three per cent, makes this option look very favourable. Assuming crude oil rates recover within 24 months, the cost to the Alberta Gov’t in interest expense would be approximately $100 million.
Michelle Pinon Editor
As stated in the January 27, 2015 letter, bond purchases would be staged quarterly, as deficits are forecast to occur. Competitive interest rate would be paid. If the Heritage Trust Fund were fully invested, it may be necessary to pay a higher interest rate for whatever the fund may have to offload. Deficit Reduction Bonds would be repatriated as economic conditions improve if so desired by the Heritage Trust Fund. Current deficit anticipated should not be resolved by tax increases in any form; that would cause hardship to lower level wage/salary earners, seniors, small busi-

ness, ordinary Albertans. Cost cutting and deferred capital expenditures presently under consideration by the Alberta Gov’t will, I am sure be made judiciously under Premier Prentice’s leadership, based on what I have observed since he took office. If you agree with the proposal to deal with economic conditions anticipated; please exercise every means at your disposal to communicate this to the government. Respectfully, Walter B.

From Where I Sit: A Modern Day Fairy Tale
By Hazel Anaka Once upon a time there was a Scanner named Hazel who wanted to know and try everything about virtually everything. (And because she is attempting to believe and live self-acceptance she won’t—-will try not to—-make the easy and self-deprecating crack about being magpie-like in her attraction to the
next shiny new thing.) What this confused maiden long feared is that there was something wrong with her. Unlike the majority of people in the kingdom she wasn’t able to pick one true thing and follow it with single-minded dedication to the end of her days. But lo, years into her life she happened upon a tome called Refuse to Choose and felt relief. This hard wiring in her brain was not only, not bad; some may even have called it a blessing. So she felt free to pursue the knowledge and experiences her innate curiosity aroused. She accepted that being intrigued by something and then losing interest when her needs were met was not wicked but efficient and understandable. She also discovered comfort and meaning in circling back to something that had piqued
her interest, however briefly, in the past. And so it was with yoga. When she discovered a class and a teacher in the nearby village she opened her silk purse for the necessary coins. And at the appointed time she showed up. In her small castle she had found a long-ago purchase of mat, strap, and block. And while she was stiff and far from graceful she was a good sport and tried all things. And nigh, week after week she saw slight improvements. And so her passion was re-ignited. She fought the urge to go forth and buy all things: scrolls, moving picture shows, a wardrobe of stretchy garments, pillows, toe socks, eye masks, bolsters, special towel, and more. But because she is still evolving, she did buy a couple of picture books, two
DVDs, and a cotton blanket. Because she is resourceful, she began looking for more tools for her new practice. Among her possessions she found a scented silk sachet to use as the perfect eye mask for Savasana or corpse pose. She located a Mexican blanket from her first trip to Puerto Vallarta twenty years ago. Her meditation chimes now had more than a decorative role to play. One day she may remember to light candles and burn incense. Because frugality is a virtue, she was enchanted to find a square cushion with carrying handle for only nine gold (loonie) coins. It would become the ultimate meditation cushion. She intended to sew a more beautiful cover with truly magnificent fabric but decided that actually
using it was more important than manufacturing delays. She found fingerless yoga gloves for three coins (instead of fifteen). She loves the beautiful fabric tote bag she now uses to store the small supplies of her practice.
And lo, Santa Yogi placed a yoga bolster under the tree so she could avoid the outrageous cost and live happily ever after, from where she sits.

Snowflake Gala brings twinkle to Village of Andrew with new playground in sight The Andrew School Council Foundation and Andrew Agricultural Society teamed up to host the Snowflake Gala on Saturday, Jan. 31st. The entire evening’s profits were dedicated to the restructure of the new school playground. The existing playground is set for dismantling this summer as it no longer complies with standards. The evening began with a cocktail hour followed by a delicious banquet prepared by Donna Lopaschuk and company. Snowflakes made by the school students hung throughout the lobby and snowflake runners adorned the banquet tables as the hall was transformed into a winter wonderland. Mr. Verhoeff, school principal, gave the blessing for the meal and a moving powerpoint presentation followed the meal showing the current playground and the proposed playground once our goal is reached. To help reach that goal monetary presentations were made on behalf of UFA, Viterra, JRT Memorial Fund (Tkachuk Family), 2K’s Welding and Cody & Lacey Hrehorets. The evening continued on with a dance, live auction, silent auction, door prizes graciously donated by 171
Willow Lane Salon, wine grab and rose raffle. Congratulations to Sonia Zinyk who was the lucky winner of the Pandora Bracelet with snowflake charm. A photo corner was set up to take pictures and printed on site so you could take your Gala memory home. A big thank you to Jayme Hennig for capturing those moments. A huge thank you to the volunteers who spent hours in preparation for the gala, to the many people who so generously donated towards this event, and to those of you who consistently come out in support. The true winners of all this hard work and generosity is our children.

Lamont County council decides to set up temporary fire hall in Chipman grader shop Michelle Pinon Editor
Since the Village of Chipman decided to sever its ties with Lamont County in regards to fire services; county council was left to weigh its options during its Feb. 10th meeting. Three clear options were presented to council. They were: *1. Renew efforts with the Village of Chipman to find a system that would work with only one fire department serving both municipalities. *2. Re-draft the fire district boundaries and initiate negotiations with the Towns of Lamont and Mundare. *3. Direct administration to develop a “rural” fire department utilizing the Chipman grader shop as the temporary fire hall.
Clearly, option one wasn’t really an option, in light of the fact the Village of Chipman explicitly stated: “We acknowledge your letter of Dec. 29th and as far as Council is concerned, the Emergency Services Agreement has expired and provision of firefighting services outside of the Village boundaries is now a problem of the County. As indicated in the letter of Dec. 22nd, the Village is willing to operate under the expired agreement until March 31, 2015. This should allow the County three months to prepare for service alternatives.” The letter went on to state: “The motion to withdraw from the present arrangements was unanimously agreed to by Council and numerous reasons were cited for this decision. Council is of the view that Chipman would be better served by having its own local fire department rather than being affiliated with the County.” The letter, dated Jan. 5th, was signed by Pat Tomkow, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the Village of Chipman. Lamont County CAO Al Harvey’s recommendation to council was option three, to set up a temporary fire
hall in the Chipman grader shop and recruit as well as develop a Chipman district fire department within the concepts articulated in the Ross Bennett report from the Fire Commissioners Office. As far as coun. Robert Malica said having two different departments 300 yards apart is “silly,” but the county really didn’t have a choice. “They (Village of Chipman) didn’t want to renew the contract.” Reeve Wayne Woldanski said they (village council) didn’t want to discuss a joint venture when they last met. Woldanski felt the Chipman area would be too big and onerous for the Lamont and Mundare Fire Departments to cover, and would increase response times, so he favoured the recommended action to establish a rural fire department. Randy Siemens said it would be a tight squeeze, but they would be able to accommodate all of the trucks and equipment in the grader shop. He said that all of the equipment in the fire hall, with the exception of some bunker gear, belongs to the county. “Under the old agreement, 95 per cent of the equipment is ours” noted Siemens. While Siemens said he couldn’t see the village being able to afford its own fire hall, the county will have to set up in the temporary location for the time being. The current fire services agreement between the county and the village will expire on March 31, 2015.

Lamont Old Gold and CFCW Critters face-off for charity during 40th annual Valentine’s Cup
All eyes, including these of this youngster, were on the CFCW Critter
The Critter and afternoon show host AJ discuss strategy just before the opening face off.
This little fella had more than cheering on his mind when he was wielding this air-filled device.

The Lamont Old Gold team anxiously wait during the singing of the National Anthem. Approximately $5,000 was raised for minor hockey and arena upgrades.
The Critters didn’t mind stringing members of the Old Gold along during the fun-filled evening of entertainment.
The Critter tried to get as up close and personal as he could to the fans.
Nothing beats a good old fashioned brawl, and the Critters were good at dishing it out.
This young lady was selected to find the Critter during intermission.
Scoring the first goal of the game has its upside and downside as whipped cream pie was the reward during the photo op. Katie Antoniuk was recruited by the Critters, and lets a blast go just inside the blue line.
This participant was close to hitting the bulls eye, and winning a $1,000 gift certificate from Independent Jewellers during intermission.
After the brawl, the Critters goalie was parading around with a pair of panties.
Members of the Old Gold had celebrate after scoring a goal.
The Critter decided to Shake it Off Taylor Swift style on top of the Old Gold net.

Andrew School to host archery fun shoot Michelle Pinon Editor
Andrew School will be hosting its first ever archery fun shoot on Thursday, March 5. Students from Thorhild and Ardrossan are expected to participate in the event, and teacher Greg Cruickshank couldn’t be more excited to host the fun shoot. Cruickshank was the teacher who introduced the sport to Grade 4-12 students only a couple of months ago. There are about 20 students who are participating in the lunch hour and after school program. “The initial response has been great. We have about 20 students so far which is more than we anticipated. Students have been keen to take up the sport, and we are already at the point where we’re trying to acquire more bows through student purchases to accommodate 10 shooters at a time,” stated Cruickshank. “I knew the program would be a success because I have seen the huge growth and popularity in the archery programs in my former school division which includes Smoky Lake and Thorhild. These communities have similar demographics and interests to Andrew, being rural and interested in hunting,” added Cruickshank.
There are many benefits to participating in archery, said Cruickshank, as “Archery also fosters skills in math, safety awareness, personal responsibility and patience.” Even though Cruickshank had been considering implementing an archery program in the school for a couple of years, but in order to get the program off the ground, he would have to attend a training course and pass a test to become a Basic Archery Instructor for the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP). By joining NASP, it also gives Andrew School access to NASP events, training, and equipment discounts. “Our school then had to purchase the equipment to get the program going in Andrew.” Principal Daniel Verhoeff and Assistant Principal TJ Kennerd are also assisting with the coaching aspects of the program. Verhoeff said, “It is another wonderful opportunity for our students to be involved in a school sport. Although we have many students who enjoy team sports that are offered at the school, we have others that prefer to pursue sports that are not as team orientated. The greatest thing about the archery program is that students are competing against themselves, and if they choose to pursue it more seriously they will have that opportunity as well.” Verhoeff went on to say, “It (archery), has been a
great addition to our school and we look forward to seeing it grow and gain momentum. It is also another great way to integrate some character education into extracurricular activities, it is about respect, concentration, dedication, and most importantly, fun!” Cruickshank agrees 100 per cent with Verhoeff, and added that archery is a really inclusive sport because anyone can do it regardless of athletic talent. Students will also be competing at the Canadian NASP National Tournament from March 12-15 at the Edmonton Expo Centre during the Edmonton Boat and Sportsmen Show.

Hafso, skipping his way to provincials with local master curlers Lorraine Poulsen Editor-Viking Weekly Review When Vern Hafso agreed to step in as skip for a Lamont curling team at this year’s Master’s Open, he had no idea history may be about to repeat itself. Hafso agreed to re-place Lamont’s Elmer Slasynski as skip when family commitments meant Slasynski had to travel out of the country. About a week prior to the North Alberta Curling Association 2014/15 Master’s Open
Northern which took place in Beaumont Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, Hafso was approached and asked to skip the Lamont team. “I agreed of course. I did not know anyone on the team but I was honoured to be asked and we played well together.” Well enough to capture the A Division and win the right to play in the provincial playoffs in Calgary later this month. On Feb. 18 to 22 Hafso will skip the team of Dale Anger, Dennis Kucy and Dave Diduck in Calgary. Slasynski is listed at the alternate. A win
in Calgary would open the door for the team to move on to the Canadian Masters Curling Championship, and that’s where history could repeat itself. Fifty years ago, in 1965, Hafso was playing third for Doug Dobry in the Masters (then knows as the Dominions). Ron Chiliback was second and Jerry Sevick was playing lead. The team made it to the finals but lost to Danny Fink who r e p r e s e n t e d Saskatchewan. “We were tied...both teams lost the same
number of games but we lost one of those games to Fink and that put him first,” Hafso said. At the Master’s Open Northern in Beaumont, the team won all four games it played to win the A event. Sixteen teams took part in the tournament. At the provincials in Calgary eight teams will play round robin with the winning team moving on to Whitehorse to play in the Masters Championships, March 30 to April 5. In the Master’s there is no international play.
The Master’s is a national championship for athletes 60 and over. Hafso can’t contain his excitement about being able to compete at the provincials and possibly
move on to compete in Whitehorse. “I have tried a number of times and been very close...maybe this time.”
Vern Hafso of Viking and Dale Anger, Dennis Kucy and Dave Diduck from Lamont make up the team headed for provincial playoffs this week.
