Hauling of dangerous goods in school zone cause for serious concern, says resident Michelle Pinon Editor

Safety concerns regarding the transportation of dangerous goods through school zones in Lamont were brought forward to town council on Feb. 9.

Bringing forth those concerns was Clyde Leamon, who made a brief presentation to council. Leamon, who resides in Lamont County has two children who currently attend Lamont Elementary School and Lamont High School, and he is seriously concerned about their safety as well as the safety of all students who attend those schools.

Back in early December, (2015),

Leamon was picking up his daughter from school when he noticed eight tandem trucks, most of which were carrying fuel, driving through the school zone on Secondary Highway 831 as students were leaving.

Secondary Highway 831, which runs between both schools, has a ban of 75 per cent loads, said Leamon. “This puts most of the tandem trucks well over 10,000 litres of fuel. “There are no scales on this road to prove their loads or enforcement checking their log books on a consistent basis.

“I couldn’t believe it’s a dangerous goods route,” stated Leamon, who went to the town office soon after to voice

his concerns in person.

“My biggest concern is why are we letting large tandem trucks through our school zones at all during school times.”

At the town office Leamon said he was informed that Secondary Highway 831 is a provincial highway, and they, (the town), couldn’t do anything about it. Even though he was dissuaded, Leamon decided to email Transportation Minister Brian Mason to voice his concerns.

Alberta Transportation responded two weeks later. He was informed that primary and secondary highways providing a direct route in or through a municipality may not be restricted to traffic, including vehicles

transporting dangerous goods if there are no other access routes within or around the municipality.

Leamon said there is an alternate route large trucks could use to bypass the school zones, and was informed by Alberta Transportation there is a provision in the provincial Dangerous Goods Transportation and Handling Act that would allow a municipality to designate routes, time of travel, and prohibit the carriage of dangerous goods on those highways specified by the bylaw. It was pointed out that the Town of Lamont does not have a Dangerous Goods Bylaw in effect.

“There are option for

re-routing traffic around the town for these times, and would be a five minute detour,” stated Leamon. “The plan would be for Coun. Dave Taylor to work with the schools to have an audit from the provincial government.”

Another option that was brought forward by Alberta Transportation was to approach companies regarding industry best practice and social licence. The letter stated, “Most companies strive to achieve public support and to have a positive community reputation. In most cases, if concerns over general operating practices are brought to the company’s attention, they may go out of their way to

work cooperatively with the communities they travel through.”

Leamon was also given contact information by Alberta Transportation for the Northeast Capital Industrial Association in which industry partners strive to work with communities to address environmental, health, safety, infrastructure and community issues.

Leamon is hoping the town will take a proactive approach and not a re-active one as it deals with all chemicals travelling through the town, and affects the safety of all children whether they reside inside or outside the Town of Lamont.

Brushstrokes for a cause Michelle Pinon Editor

Paint Nights are becoming all the rage.

The Paint Nights that have been held at Lamont High School recently, have not only been popular, they have been in support of local families and students, who have benefitted from the enthusiasm and generosity of participants.

Principal Sharon McLean has been very pleased with the positive response the fundraisers have received. The first Paint Night was held in support of a local family that had faced a medical crisis, the most

recent one was in support of the 2016 graduation class, and the next Paint Night & Silent Auction is slated for Thursday, March 10th at 6:30 p.m. The fundraiser is in support of a deaf student in need of a specialized piece of equipment.

Members of the Bruderheim Parent Advisory Council (BPAC) will be hosting a Paint Night on Feb. 24 from 6:30–9:30p.m. BPAC representative Cynthia Willis said it is the first time BPAC is hosting an event like this, and is happy to report all 60 tickets have been sold. Funds raised during the event will go towards an upcoming performance by the Alberta Opera as well as future field trips for students.

International travel up in the air Michelle Pinon Editor

Trying to measure possible safety risks compared to potential rewards of field trips is something school administrators are having to gage in light of recent world events.

Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), has not imposed any bans or restrictions as of yet, but is reviewing each of its international field trips on a case by case basis.

EIPS Superintendent Mark Liguori told The Lamont Leader last week that, “As a whole, we have been reviewing each of our international field trips on an individual basis. We are regularly consulting with Travel Canada, monitoring advisories from other countries, and listening to input from travel experts, principals, staff and parents. We are doing this for all of our trips and right up until

the plane leaves the tarmac.”

As to the current status of the Lamont High School (LHS) Travel Club trip to Germany and Switzerland that is planned for the spring of 2017, Liguori said that question is best addressed by Principal Sharon McLean.

McLean advised that supervisors as well as parents and students met two weeks ago and voted in favour of holding off on a decision about whether or not to proceed with the trip until the next school year.

Liguori also pointed out, “We have asked all principals to ensure that field trips are tied to curriculum and relevant to students and their program of studies. Prior to a field trip being initiated, it is to be vetted by the principal to ensure it meets the above requirements.”

Liguori said the focus

Town of Lamont introduces smoking bylaw Public worksites, vehicles, and outdoor spaces restricted areas Michelle Pinon Editor

The Town of Lamont has a new Smoking Bylaw.

The bylaw, which came into effect on Jan. 26th, places restrictions on carrying or possessing tobacco and electronic smoking devices in public places.

Under the regulations, no person shall carry or possess a lit cigarette, cigar or pipe, or burn tobacco in any manner, or use an electronic smoking device in a public premise, workplace or a public vehicle.

Elaine McDonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Office for the Town of Lamont, said both citizens and users of the town’s recreation centre brought for-

ward their concerns regarding the issue of smoking closer than the legislated distance to a public building to the town.

McDonald said the bylaw was reviewed by the Corporate Services Committee before it was presented to council.

Council passed all three readings in succession on Jan. 26th.

Under the bylaw, a public premise is defined as any place to which the public may have either express or implied access for the purpose of worship, entertainment, recreation, business, amuse-

ment, education, transportation, consumption of food or drink, or for the provision and receipt of services. A bus, taxi or other vehicle that is used to transport members of the public for a fee is considered a public vehicle, and workplace includes the whole or any part of a building, structure, vehicle or passenger c o n veyance in which a business is carried on but excludes: any part which constitutes public premises and private residences. A washroom open to the general public is also off limits.

Carrying or possessing

a lit cigarette, cigar or pipe or burn tobacco or use of an electronic smoking device is prohibited in, on or within five metres of a playground, entrance or exit to a public premises, or any place the public has access as of right or by express or implied invitation. No person shall permit ashtrays or objects intended to be a

Opinion From Where I Sit: Embrace or Withdraw

By Hazel Anaka One of the pleasures of coordinating Babas and Borshch Ukrainian Festival the last few years has been the per-

sonal satisfaction of successfully facing a challenge head-on. Taking an idea from concept to completion.

That said, one of the other thrills of this undertaking has been the people I’ve met. By and large they’ve been talented, passionate, accomplished, and generous in sharing their gifts. They either agreed to be part of the festival in some capacity or referred me to someone else who could help.

In one such example I first spoke to a female event planner from Edmonton on the phone.

She agreed to accompany me to a wholesale she deals with so I could buy décor pieces at a better price. In that short exchange we hit it off and voiced the desire to get together again.

Then we acted on what could have been simply the usual superficial hollow talk people often engage in. We made plans. I introduced B to the salon where I get my nails done. Getting a mani-pedi guarantees at least a couple of hours of pampering and plenty of time to talk. Following that treat up with an incredible extended

lunch at Tirimasu Bistro lightens my mood for hours after.

It always amazes me how empowering and soul affirming a conversation with a kindred spirit can be. And you don’t need the long-term history of having known a person since kindergarten to make that connection. You don’t need to communicate daily.

You don’t need to vacation together.

What works in the life of this busy person is being committed to nurturing the relationship, carving out time that works for both of us,

being fully present and enjoying every minute, and then going back to my messy real life.

NASA would be proud of what it takes to plan our outings but we persevere and do it.

Despite me being about ten years older than B, we connect and commiserate on many topics. I’m past the critical child-rearing years but have grandsons. We both understand the challenges of being part of the ‘sandwich’ generation. We share the knowledge we’re both round pegs who don’t fit into the square holes of

the nine to five traditional workplace. We understand the thrill and terror of finding the next gig.

While she considers me her mentor, I’m learning from her as well. We support each other in whatever our individual lives have thrown us. We recognize the strength (and vulnerability) in the other.

People come and go in our lives. It’s up to us to embrace those who enrich our lives and withdraw from those who damage it, from where I sit.

Retired MP’s pensions emense So how’s your retirement plan?

Pretty great if you are an MP, probably pretty sketchy if you are the remainder of society who pays these same MPs. If you are an employee of any Canadian company, a portion of your wage goes toward the Canadian Pension Plan and your employer will pay the same amount plus 40 percent more on your behalf. That will accumulate as you work and when you retire the government will dole it back out to you in fairly slim portions depending on your total earnings.

Larger companies have pension plans of their own besides the CPP contributions, and many work at a 1/1 ratio though some give a little more than that.

The Federal government for instance gave its recently retired MPs like 22 year veteran Leon Beniot a 17/1 contribution ratio. Prior to his retirement last year, Benoit contributed $233,407 and if the 65-yearold lives to 90 the Feds will have contributed almost $3.7 million. Benoit receives $121,446 in annual MP pension despite having contributed less than two years of that amount.

The Harper government finally

implemented MP pension reforms which began in 2016 when MP contributions increased dramatically and the public portion shrank to 1.6/1 plus a quarterly interest payment to MP pension funds.

Of course these reforms only affect present MPs who were just elected.

Plus the pensions only kick-in after an MP serves six years. If they only serve one term, they get the pension contributions paid back to them in cash and don’t qualify for the yearly payments.

Retired MPs like Benoit, or those who weren’t re-elected in 2015, will cost the Canadian taxpayers $5.3 million each year or $209 million if they all reach the age of 90.

It’s a sweet deal, and one quite irritating to local taxpayers considering that MP Benoit was elected in 1993 as a Reform candidate on the promise that he would never accept the goldplated MP pension. That changed in 2000 when Reform was succeeded by the Canadian Alliance Party and Benoit and others changed their policy on pensions.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, February 16, 2016 - 5

Opinion Time for a new conversation on pipelines It’s time for a new conversation about building pipelines in this country – a conversation about how Canada can get full value for its oil production while at the same time addressing environmental concerns, including climate change. This dialogue needs to take place with the type of constructive, interestbased, problem-solving approach that Canadians expect.

Getting Canadian oil production to market safely and in a manner consistent with the environmental values we all share is foundational to the pipeline discussion.

We know that addressing climate change is part of that focus. The federal government recently announced additional principles it will consider, along with the recommendation of the National Energy Board, before approving a pipeline project. One of the principles involves an assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions from pipeline projects, including emissions associated with the production of the oil the pipelines will carry.

We believe Alberta’s new climate plan will be strong evidence in the federal government’s assessment. The development of the Alberta climate plan benefitted from consultation with a broad range of stakeholders. The plan reflects a fundamental shift, acknowledging that polarization and conflict is not constructive.

Currently, we are all focused on the proposed expansion of the Trans

Mountain Pipeline system now in the final stages of regulatory review. If approved, this project would provide a vital link between Canada’s vast oil resources in northern Alberta and world-class marine facilities in British Columbia. As producers and refiners of Canada’s oil resource, we believe approval of this pipeline project would launch a new era in export opportunities for the country and its energy industry.

Overdependence on the United States as our only major customer has forced Canada to sell its oil at discounted prices for years. With access to Asia and other global markets, where prices are typically higher, we will have the opportunity to receive full value for Canadian energy exports.

Approval of the Trans Mountain expansion project will benefit more than just the producers who plan to ship oil on the pipeline. It will provide significant economic potential for the entire country. The construction and long-term operation of this key infrastructure project will provide lasting benefits for all Canadians.

Assessments from a number of independent financial institutions have concluded that Canada is missing out on billions of dollars a year in revenue because of our lack of access to overseas markets for our oil.

Investment dollars go to wherever they can get the best returns. That’s

why opening up West Coast marine access for Canadian oil is crucial to the long-term success of the country’s energy industry and to the strength of the Canadian economy overall.

The latest research from the Conference Board of Canada projects the Trans Mountain expansion project would generate more than 800,000 person years of employment over the next 20 plus years and nearly $47 billion in government revenues, which would help pay for services such as health care, schools and infrastructure to transition to a lower carbon economy. Those are benefits that would be realized across the country.

The Trans Mountain expansion proposal is undergoing a rigorous review by the National Energy Board, which has already placed 150 draft conditions on the project that must be met by Kinder Morgan Canada before construction or operations can begin.

The company has spent thousands of hours consulting with and lis-

tening to local residents, stakeholders, landowners and Aboriginal groups. The project will adhere to the highest operational and environmental performance standards.

Furthermore, Kinder Morgan has committed to continue to work with communities, stakeholders and the province to ensure a world-class response to potential marine spills. And, of equally great importance, Kinder Morgan Canada has an outstanding record of operating excellence.

As a nation, we need to make progress on pipeline project approvals. Together, we need to find solutions to local concerns and work to ensure the benefits of new pipelines can be realized.

Preventing pipelines from being built in Canada will not reduce global oil demand but it will prevent Canadians from receiving the benefits of supplying oil to fill that growing demand. And it will mean customers around the world won’t have access to Canadian

And that is why we, a group of seven companies that directly employ more than 27,000 people in Canada, believe we can work together with everyone who has a voice in the pipeline discussion to foster that new conversation

focused on finding solutions together to overcome the deadlock that’s holding up pipeline projects. We are ready to engage in this dialogue and to see projects such as the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion built and we hope other Canadians are as well.

School enrolment increases in Lamont County Michelle Pinon Editor

Mark Liguori, Superintendent of Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), recently released the division’s school status report.

Part of the report highlighted utilization percentages between 2010/2011 through to 2014/2015. Schools were broken into sectors, and in the Lamont County area three schools saw increases in enrolment, while two schools saw decreases, with Lamont High experiencing a significant enrolment increase of 15 per cent.

Overall, enrolment in the Lamont County region was up six per cent over the previous year.

It was also pointed out

that all schools in the Lamont County region, which include: Andrew School, Bruderheim School, Lamont Elementary, Lamont High, and Mundare School, ranked within the top ten highest costs per student school in the division. Andrew School ranked as the highest cost per student in EIPS at $14,455; and Mundare School ranked as the second highest cost per student school at $11,267.

EIPS currently has 19 schools operating above the $7,340 per student average, and the division’s utilization rate is 76 per cent, an increase of one per cent from the previous year.

The report also stated there are “many factors” to consider when reviewing the viability of

a school or program.

“The indicators identified in this report include enrolment, school utilization and cost per student. These factors are not all inclusive, and one item cannot be the deciding factor in recommending a review for school closure.”

Under the regulations, if the board of trustees wants to consider complete or partial closure of a designated school, the matter must be raised by way of a motion during a public school board meeting. “Following the appropriate communications and public consultation meetings, the board shall render a decision at the public board meeting within the same school year, effective for the next school year.”

Proposed housing development plans outlined Michelle Pinon Editor

A handful of Bruderheim residents and town officials were on hand to listen to plans for a new residential development on Thursday, Feb. 11th at the fire hall.

Dnyanesh Deshpande, Principal Consultant with Green Space Alliance gave a power point overview of a proposal that would see single, multiple and high density housing just east of the existing Brookside subdivision.

Deshpande, speaking on behalf of its client Indus Homes, said he hopes construction on the project will begin this spring, i.e. if everything goes according to plan. “It, (the plan), is something we are proud of, and we want to be a part of the community,” stated Deshpande. “We believe it adds to the existing urban fabric of the community.”

Currently, land for the project is zoned R1 (single detached residential), and the proposal calls for the additional land use districts R2 (general residential), R3 (multiple residential), U (utilities), to accommodate stormwater management facilities and public utility lots, and P (parks and recreation), to provide municipal reserve and environmental reserve lands.

Deshpande, said they will take all of the comments from the open house into consideration, before a public hearing is held. The hearing will allow members of the public the opportunity to make a formal presentation as well as bring forward any questions or concerns if they so choose. Then it will be up to members of town council to decide whether to approve the Brookside Village subdivision application. From there, a development agreement would be drafted and brought forward for approval at a later date.

The development is broken down into three phases, with phase 1A consisting of eight single family lots and 10 multi family lots. Phase 1B would consist of 13 single family lots, and 10 multi family lots.

Phase 2 would include 18 single family lots, and multi family lots, and high density lots. Fourplexes, townhouses, and an apartment building would be encompassed in the plan to accommodate a number of housing needs and price points, added Deshpande. The new development would be able to accommodate around 580 people. Mayor Karl Hauch said the development will be good for the town and also meet the community’s density figures.

One of the resident’s was concerned about public notification of the open house and the public hearing, and was reassured by Deshpande the notice of the public hearing would be advertised for two weeks in the local newspaper prior to the public hearing. Another resident voiced concerns about advertising, and suggested they use other forms of advertising, and suggested displaying posters in the town before the public hearing is held.

Alternative crop sources explored during seminar Michelle Pinon Editor

Grant Lastiwka knows the value of forages to the agriculture industry, and brought his message to producers in attendance during Lamont County’s Alternative Crop Seminar that was held in St. Michael on Thursday, Feb. 11.

Lastiwka said we are living for today and not tomorrow, especially as it relates to soil salinity and soil erosion. “Plants feed the soil with hydrocarbons.” He encouraged producers to have a diverse and broad rotation of forages to increase soil health.

According to an Alberta Agriculture report, the forage industry is extremely diverse, and includes natural land for pasture, including native pasture/hay, rangeland and grazeable bush, tame and seeded pasture, halyard, annual forage (fodder) crops, grass and legume seed, alfalfa leaf cutter bees, and sod. “Forage crops cover more acreage in the province than any other agricultural crop, reinforcing the need to accurately track their acreage, products, market price, and define their value.”

Kevin Rosassen, Policy and Programs Specialist with the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission, told audience members that pulse crops made up

Grant Lastiwka more than eight per cent of all crops in the province last year, and went on to list some of the properties, benefits, markets, and prices of pulse crops.

Rosassen said pulse crops are a good fit for crop producers, as well as reduce input costs and optimize rotational benefits. Peas, dry beans, chickpeas, lentils, faba beans, and soybeans are all examples of pulse crops that are mostly produced for international consumption. He went on to say that “pulses” fix their own nitrogen which is an added cost benefit. As well, pulses are extremely frost tolerant, require a lot of moisture to germinate, need to be on well drained soil, and are harvested earlier than cereal crops. He added that risks are minimal and would be excellent in terms of diversifying financial portfolios. He recommended producers find out where the elevator is marketing the product and what to

watch out for when it comes to breakage, moisture levels, etc.

Jan Slaski was advocating on behalf of Alberta Innovates Technology Futures, on the merits of growing industrial hemp.

Slaski, Crop Development and Management Expert, stated that industrial hemp is a new opportunity for diversification of income and cropping option in Northeastern Alberta.

Slaski explained how was one of the oldest and fastest growing crop came in and out of vogue, and is now regaining popularity as it has a multitude of purposes and products that can be produced. With longer growing days in this part of the province, Slaski said flowering of the plant is delayed which results in higher plants, and greater yields. Insulation, mulch, paper, and fibreboard are just some of the products he has been able to produce at the Vegreville facility.

He also encouraged producers to come for a tour of the facility, and see for themselves how industrial hemp is being converted into reusable and sustainable products. Every year he hosts a crop tour, and he invited participants to join in on the tour which takes place at the end of July.

Chipman Winter Carnival and Fire Department Dinner and Dance promises fun for the whole family Editor

One thing you can’t control is the weather, but organizers of a new winter carnival in Chipman are counting on favourable climatic conditions to make their upcoming event a success.

The Chipman Winter Carnival will be held this Saturday, Feb. 20th at the outdoor skating surface in the community park.

The complimentary family based event, organized by the Chipman Community League for Family and Youth, will kick off around 3 p.m. with a short ice program showcasing the talents of Jameson Harding-Doctor and Dahila Gladys who skate out of Platinum Elite Skating School.

Cole’s Shootout will

offer tiny tykes, eight and under, and nine and over a chance to score and win. That will be followed up by a performance of a local dance troupe, Love Your Dance, and a fulfilled Shinny Hockey game.

There will also be a concession on site, with

donations going towards the community youth league.

Shortly after 6 p.m. festivities will move indoors as members of the Village of Chipman Fire Department will be hosting their fifth annual family dinner and dance.

There will be a separate

kids party room where youngsters can enjoy colouring, a movie and games. Tickets are $30 each and children 12 and under are free.

The community park is located adjacent to 50th Street (at the South end of Main Street).
