Fish & Game Trophy Night a rousing success Michelle Pinon Editor

MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS

Saturday, Jan. 30th was a time to cheer on members of the Lamont Fish & Game Association who received awards for their endeavours in hunting, fishing, archery, photography, leadership and more. A total of 45 awards were presented during trophy night which saw more than 350 people in attendance.

The Lamont Fish & Game Association has been a valued organization in the community for 60 years, and special guest, Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner, paid tribute to the family based organization during the Wild Game Dinner & Trophy Night on Saturday, Jan. 30th.

Skinner thanked and acknowledged the commitment of volunteers for promoting wildlife habitat protection, hunting and fishing skills as well as educational opportunities for youth and adults alike. He also thanked the people who donated the wild meat and fish for the banquet, and urged all in attendance, (about 350 in total), to support the association during the event, which is their major fundraiser of the year.

Association Vice President Ken Engman gave an overview of the activities and events of members in 2015, everything from archery competitions and shoots to hunter education programs, summer camps, fish derby, complementary fishing and archery day, meetings, fundraisers, bird house building projects and events, meetings, wind up party, and much more.

“It’s hard to cover everything we’ve done for youth and the community,” said Engman, “But I encourage everyone to come out and participate when you can.”

Engman also thanked Doug and Robyn Butler for not only opening their home and property for special events, but to fellow executive members for helping out with the Wild Game Dinner and Trophy Night.

Charter members, contributers to the banquet, and event sponsors were also thanked for their generous support.

The Lamont Fish & Game Association now has 500 members, and Doug Butler said it is also a member of the Alberta Fish & Game Association which has 100 properties and 145,000 acres of habitat for people to enjoy throughout the province.

In all, 45 awards were presented to junior and adult members, during the evening’s festivities.

Municipalities join forces to save the Bruderheim arena Michelle Pinon Editor

Regional collaboration isn’t just a fashionable phrase, it’s a concept many municipalities are embracing, and the Town of Bruderheim is one of them.

In fact, the Town of Bruderheim, Lamont County, City of Fort Saskatchewan and

well, who come to play and cheer on their teams, to connect and build relationships.

This region is connected through shared recreation and cultural experiences within our communities,” stated Podoborozny.

“The objective of the ACP program is to improve the viability and long term sustain-

Strathcona are partnering together to apply for funds under the Alberta Community Partnership (ACP), Grant in order to replace the aging ice plant in Bruderheim.

“All of our partnering communities have hockey teams that use our arena and want to ensure that the arena remains sustainable for years to come,” said Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny.

“We are very excited that our regional partners have joined us in this application to save our arena. If we are succ e s s f u l , approximately 300 people a week will benefit, and not just members from our c o m m u n i t y, but from other areas in our region as

•Improved municipal capacity to respond to municipal and regional priorities; and •Effective intermunicipal relations through joint and collaborative activities.

Councillor Judy Schueler made the motion to apply for the $350,000 grant during

ability of municipalities by providing support for regional collaboration and capacity building initiatives,” pointed out Podoborozny.

The ACP program is designed to support municipalities in attaining the following key program outcomes: •New or enhanced regional municipal services;

Alberta’s Royalty Review report generates overall optimism among energy leaders Michelle Pinon Editor

Neil Shelly, Executive Director of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association, (AIHA) was on hand for Friday’s Royalty Review announcement in Calgary.

While there had been a lot of concern surrounding the review, the actual announcement and content in the report, was “most surprising” and “underwhelming”, stated Shelly.

Shelly said he felt the panel’s 209 page report was very well done and very well balanced, and is perfectly in line with what AIHA had in mind.

In fact, AIHA was one of the organizations which presented a white paper to the panel during its consultation phase. “We foresee new opportunities for investment resulting from the Royalty Review announcement, specifically in propane processing and bitumen refining,” added Shelly.

Ed Gibbons, Chair of AIHA stated, “In our

submission to the Review Panel, we highlighted the need to make value adding a priority.

By further processing our resources here in Alberta, we generate a better overall return to Albertans in the form of diversified economic activity, job creation, and new sources of corporate taxation.

Given Alberta’s abundant and cost advantaged energy feedstocks, the province could realistically attract over $27 billion in new investment by developing a value added natural gas strategy for the province as well as examining new opportunities regarding partial upgrading and alternative value-creation technologies for bitumen.

Shelly said AIHA will be part of a working group in the near future that will be focusing on value added, bitumen upgrading and refineries as well as natural gas and other projects. “I am very confident they (the province) is on the right track.”

He did admit that time is of the essence, and is

hoping the provincial government will have sold policy options developed in the months ahead. “A lot of companies are already involved,” noted Shelly, who feels with a good attitude and good direction, they will be able to make investment happen. Of course, Shelly will continue to attract investors, and said he now has something more to sell them on.

“Given the current investment climate, AIHA is keen on collaborating with the Government of Alberta on these opportunities in a timely manner.” He went on to say, “Alberta has been identified by international investors as one of several locations under consideration for new industrial projects.

We strongly encourage implementing diversification initiatives in the very near future to ensure Alberta is competitive when vying for global investment dollars.”

Doug Sullivan, Executive Director of Lamont County’s Regional Economic

Development Initiative (LCREDI) said moving the new royalty regime to a principle-based format will bring consistency, transparency and better understanding of the process.

Sullivan went on to say, “Royalties on existing wells will remain unchanged for 10 years, but the model will change for new projects starting in 2017, if the recommendations are accepted by the provincial government. Also, the framework for oil sands royalties will remain as is. The finding that Alberta’s current royalty regime was middle of the pack when compared to similar jurisdictions was interesting, in light of much previous rhetoric to the contrary.”

Sullivan said the recommendations appear to open the door to enhanced oil recovery and use of new technologies, which could be of interest to companies operating in older fields such as western Lamont County. While much work needs to be done in the area of value add,

bringing the initiative to fruition, could significantly benefit Lamont County’s industrial land, and urban centres in the future.

Subsequently, on Monday, Feb. 1st, the province introduced the Petrochemicals Diversification Program, pledging more jobs and new petrochemicals facilities that use methane or propane to produce materials for products that include: plastics, detergents and textiles.

According to a government news release, “The benefits of this program are significant to Alberta workers and their families. It is expected these new facilities could create up to 3,000 new jobs during construction, as well as more than 1,000 jobs once operation begins, and attract between $3 billion and $5 billion worth of investment.”

Energy Minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd stated, “This program builds on the Royalty Review panel’s recommendation for a valueadded natural gas strate-

gy to support further upgrading and production of higher-value energy products in Alberta. This is another way to diversify our energy economy and create good jobs in Alberta.”

Deron Bilous, Minister of Economic Development and Trade, stated, “Today’s commitment to diversification in the petrochemical sector is part of the government’s economic action plan – a plan to create jobs, diversify our economyand add more value to our resources. This innovative program builds on the strengths of our energy industry and will attract new investment to our province.”

AIHA Chair Gibbons responded to the new by saying, “We know the majority of Albertans support further processing of our resources within provincial border so we can benefit from the revenue and jobs.

Our association strongly supports this program as part of the government’s long-term vision for economic growth and diversification.”

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Resident disappointed by the ‘all about me’ attitude

Dear Editor,

MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Tuesday nightʼs rain storm made driveways, sidewalks and streets treacherous for residents in local communities as well as residents on 46th Street in Lamont where this photo was taken Thursday morning.

Dear Editor, Our recent rain reminds me of last year’s weather and the damage that was done with cracked driveways, sidewalks, and sink holes; and to top it all off, the back alley just rebuilt, is higher than the lawns and my neighbour is complaining that the water from my property is running into his back door.

I just renewed my property insurance for $656,000 with a new insurance company because the old one just likes to collect premiums and does nothing, just like new school politicians.

It would be a sorry sight if Lamont became a ghost town like Wostok and St. Michael when the tar sands opened again, and commuters had to move to a better town.

I sure hope I could get my money back for my property. I would like to suggest that there is nowhere else to go, and municipal affairs is not going to help. Bringing back the economy with infrastructure is just a promise that will never happen.

I know how to get a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) fired, even councillors and mayors; but this time I need your back up. Maybe deferred taxes would help?

I would invite the town CAO to walk across the parking lot to the county building and you too will be the wiser. The CAO will enlighten you.

The storm drains at the top of the hill have to be attended to on 46th Street and that’s just a start.

I have lived in Lamont for almost 15 years and I’ve noticed an increasing trend that I call, ‚“It’s all about me”.

What exactly am I referring to... well let me explain with a few personal examples.

For a couple of years I have been working in the city travelling Highway 15 every single day early in the morning. For two winters, I drove to work using the white line because vehicle after vehicle in the oncoming traffic lane had aftermarket bright lights and fog lights on, and welding trucks and trucks with deck carriers

had not adjusted their lights, blinding me. If you drive a car, you know exactly what I mean.

Last year, I decided I could no longer continue to put my life in danger trying to get to work, so I bought a truck. The lights are still bright, but I do not have to drive using the white line. It’s unfortunate that I felt I had to resort to this when the roads would be safer for everyone if travellers would lose the “it’s all about me attitude” and be considerate.

Another example that I’ve come across is during my evening walks. I observe many things,

but notably, that some people clean their sidewalks regularly, others do not clean them all winter, one particular person parks their vehicles on the sidewalk and others run cords across them. Sidewalks are there to ensure neighbours, children, family and friends can safely navigate our community without walking on the road. Again, if people would stop the “it’s all about me mentality”‚ and show some common courtesies for simple things, life would be safer.

Finally, how many times have you been in line when someone feels their time is more impor-

tant than yours and they just step right to the front of the line? Probably more times in the past five years than in your previous lifetime.

It is really unfortunate that we’ve gone from a society of caring about family, friends, neighbours and our community, and extending some common courtesies, to a society where the focus is singular and “it’s all about me”.

Perhaps the next generation will turn this around.

Resident of Lamont Laurie Guyot

Alec Babich *Editor’s note: As of Friday afternoon the Town of Lamont had not received any formal complaints regarding flooding concerns or icy streets or sidewalks.

From Where I Sit: Not Worth Our Time

By Hazel Anaka If you watch American TV you are exposed to the best and worst of entertainment and information dispersal. The non-stop news coverage from media outlets like CNN and Fox cast the spotlight on even the most minute issue. If it happens to be a ‘hot topic’ or breaking news heaven help us all. The ad nauseum coverage of the ridiculously long presidential election cov-

erage makes me crazy.

Throw in the bombshell that twenty-two of the emails on Hillary Clinton’s personal cell phone included classified subjects. And just days before the Iowa caucus! OMG. If you’re not a news junkie you may instead wile away the hours watching back-to-back episodes of American Greed. Proving yet again that truth is stranger than fiction. One of the shows I caught profiled Raj Rajaratnam, perpetrator of the worst case of insider trading in American history. As he swindled millions of dollars by using privileged information we can’t help but wonder what makes some people tick.

He was brilliant and successful before he began breaking the law.

Hundreds of wiretaps finally sent him to prison

for eleven years.

Another episode showed a former lawyer and naval intelligence officer with countless false identities. John Donald Cody used his brainpower and cunning to start a charity for US Navy Veteran’s Association. Using professional telemarketers he scammed generous donors of a hundred million dollars. Only one million dollars was recovered from a storage locker when he was finally taken down. A twenty-eight year jail sentence was the ultimate result. No one is clear where the remaining money is because he lived in squalor.

I think most of us need to believe that bad deeds and bad dudes will be punished. That vultures, con men, and criminals will in fact have their day in court and be found

guilty. And will suffer the rightful consequences of hurting and taking advantage of others.

Or, if you’re a bona fide car nut, you’ll sit mesmerized by the live coverage of the BarrettJackson car auction. The glare off the shiny paint will have you squinting.

The final bid prices will have you clutching your heart. A couple of years ago Roy and Greg attended the Scottsdale, Arizona sale. Some guy

in a parking lot sold them two VIP tickets for pennies on the dollar.

That little exchange could have gone horribly wrong. Instead it was just a smokin’ hot deal.

With access to the muscle lounge area, a steak supper, and (only) fourteen drinks each, they saw how the other half lives.

With both buyers and sellers paying commissions ranging from ten to seventeen percent and with a bid card costing about five hundred dol-

lars, only the big boys play. Luckily watching the auction on TV only costs time. What fun to see and remember premium vehicles—-classics, muscle cars, golden oldies—-from our past.

Whatever your taste in TV, American channels deliver it all. Through the miracle of satellite, cable TV and live streaming, that world is at our fingertips. Of course, much of it isn’t worth our time to watch it, from where I sit.

The working face is compacted daily and covered.

We do not charge for household refuse generated during the routine operations of a family dwelling.

We want our Lamont County residents to be able to use the landfill safely and in an environmentally sustainable way for years to come so we require proof of residency. if you are new to the Lamont County Region, please bring a copy of your tax notice, power bill, natural gas or water bill with your municipal or civic address and/or legal description, as the land owners are listed in the computer. This will allow us to make sure people from out of our area arenʼt using your landfill as dumping grounds.

Andrew Sport Off cancelled Michelle Pinon Editor

Andrew’s Sport Off event has officially been cancelled.

During village council’s Jan. 13th meeting Mayor Heather Tait told members the annual event has been cancelled. “I was just advised of that today,” stated Tait. Councillors did not voice any questions or concerns, and the letter was accepted as information.

All of the Sport Off events, except for the parade is sponsored by the Andrew Agricultural Society. As to whether the Village of Andrew will still sponsor and hold the parade is currently unknown. The question was forwarded to the village’s contact us link on its

website, but had not been responded to before press time.

Carri Hrehorets, President of the Andrew Agricultural Society, told the Lamont Leader that it was decided at its November meeting that the ag. society would no longer be organizing Sport Off. Hrehorets stated that, “Due to a continual financial loss the last three-four years, lack of enough sponsorship and volunteers, we have decided to not run the event this year.” She went on to say, “In addition, a motorized sporting event costs huge dollars to bring in due to the insurance, ambulance stand by, etc.”

Ironically, it was the ag. society that agreed to take over the event six or seven years ago from the Sport Off Society who just didn’t have the members to run it anymore. While the ag. society took over the event

willingly, Hrehorets said the time has come to downsize the number of events it hosts in order to keep its small group of volunteers healthy and energized with its other activities and events.

“We have talked about doing other events, the problem with this is trying to break into another market that is usually established and difficult to get a date we want. Also, it’s a matter of having someone experienced with the knowledge of running different types of events. We lack that as well. It’s great to say lets start doing a Bullarama, for example, but we lack the knowledge and the people with experience to organize it and it is also a lack of confidence in taking something new on and praying it runs smooth and doesn’t flop. So that prevents us from taking chances as well,” added Hrehorets.

Lamont Bantom Hawks RCMP seek information into win Eckville tournament local Break and Enter Fort Saskatchewan, On Monday January 4, the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP responded to a call for service in regards to a Break and Enter to a rural property in the area of Range Road 204 and Highway 38 in Lamont County.

Security cameras on site observed at approximately 4:38 p.m. on December 29, 2015 an individual trespassing on the property. The individual (male or

female) was riding a green ATV (make or model, unknown), had their face covered and was wearing a touque and a snow suit.

point police can confirm that several firearms were stolen from the property.

If anyone has any information in regards to the Break and Enter or can identify the suspect, please contact Constable Kenny of the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-992-6100 or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or visit www.crimestoppers.ca.

Nutritious frozen meals nearly ready to be served up to Bruderheim and area residents Michelle Pinon Editor

Ready to heat, nutritious and affordable frozen meals and snacks will soon be available to Bruderheim and area residents.

The Town of Bruderheim as well as the Bruderheim Ag. Society are partnering with the Information and Volunteer Centre (IVC) for Strathcona County, and will be offering convenient, affordable frozen meals for purchase in a few months time.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Town of Bruderheim and the Bruderheim Ag. Society in order to bring the Chef’s Choice frozen meals menu to residents of the town and surrounding communities,” stated program manager Caron Stoltz.

“The Chef’s Choice program brings amazing value to seniors, single-parent families, and anyone who might need nutritious, low-cost meal options in their lives.”

Stoltz and IVC Executive Director Klay Dyer were on hand to

Pictured from left to right are: Caron Stoltz, IVC Program Manager, Sherry Cote, Acting Director of Legislative Services for the Town of Bruderheim, and IVC Executive Director Klay Dyer. IVC donated a freezer for the frozen meals program recently. deliver a freezer to the fire hall where the meals will soon be available for pick up. As far as ordering meals, Sherry Cote, Acting Director of Legislative Services for the Town of Bruderheim, says menus are already available. and residents can order meals at the town administration office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

The meals range in price from $4.50 to $6.50 per meal. In addition there are diabetic meal and snack options, low sodium, vegan and vegetarian options, as well as gluten and lactose free choices.

“The goal is to have accessible food in stock for any emergency that arises for our residents

and for those that have difficulty preparing food at times,” stated Cote. “It is also a way to provide assistance for those in need. Individuals can purchase meals for others. We want to help make a difference in our community and we felt this service was one that we could support effectively,” she added.

Cote also pointed out

there have been many times when residents have asked for a service such as this. She went on to clarify that this is not a “Meals on Wheels” program where the food comes to you. “The meals can be purchased for a family member or someone in need, or just for yourself in those times where you just need something quick.”

She went on to say, “Our community wanted to ensure that our citizens had access to healthy meals, if they needed them. If a family requires some assistance with meals due to circumstances in their life, this is a quick way to provide that support.

Citizens or corporations can purchase meal vouchers and donate them to friends, family, events, food bank, and the list goes on.”

Because a charitable organization must be responsible for the financial aspects of the program, members of the Bruderheim Agricultural Society were approached for support.

“The Bruderheim Agriculture Society is working on more events relating to community support, and this seemed like a really good fit for the Town of Bruderheim and the Bruderheim Agricultural Society,” stated Cote.

She expects the program to be fully implemented and advertised to people who live and work in Bruderheim and area before the end of February.

Wavering over energy sector concerns Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs OTTAWA - Shannon Stubbs, Member of Parliament for Lakeland and Official Opposition Deputy Critic for Natural Resources, pressed the Liberal government during question period on Jan. 26 on their commitment to supporting the tens of thousands of energy workers in Alberta who have been hit hardest by the historic downturn in Canada’s energy sector.

In his response, Veterans Affairs Minister and Member of Parliament for Calgary Centre Kent Hehr said that people are “refreshed by the new approach of this govern-

ment… [and] they’re happy that we are in charge”. He even suggested M.P. Stubbs visit Calgary to speak to these happy Albertans herself.

This is in contrast to comments made by Finance Minister Bill Morneau who visited Calgary on January 15.

During his visit, Minister Morneau said that leaders from the energy and environmental sectors heightened his sense of concern about making sure that the government deals with the challenging economic situation in Alberta.

“While Albertans are struggling and anxious about how

they’re going to pay their bills this month, Prime Minister Trudeau and his Cabinet keep musing about vague regulatory changes. This wavering does not instill any confidence. In fact, it’s contributing directly to an unstable and unpredictable investment environment for the whole economy, but especially for resourcerich Alberta. Contrary to what our Prime Minister believes, Albertans can be both resource-rich and resourceful,” said M.P. Stubbs.

John Barlow, Member of Parliament for Foothills and Official Opposition

Deputy Critic of Employment, Workforce and Labour, said he is extremely disappointed with the Liberal government’s approach to the crisis in Alberta. “We have a Liberal Prime Minister who insults Canada’s resource sector and now a Liberal Alberta minister who refuses to stand up for Albertans and support vital projects like Energy East,” said M.P. Barlow. “‘Refreshing’ is certainly not the feedback I am hearing from the thousands of Albertans who have lost their jobs and it is abundantly clear the Liberals are not listen-

Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs ing.” Statistics Canada released revised numbers today that indicate Alberta lost more jobs last year than in any year since Prime Minister Trudeau’s father intro-

duced the National Energy Program and Canada sunk into a deep recession in 1982.

Projections for this year are no better: unemployment for the first half of 2016 is expected to be 7.2% while the economy is expected to shrink by 0.5%. This is not good news for Alberta, and indeed bad news for Canada. MP Stubbs will continue to be a strong voice for her constituents in Lakeland, all Albertans, and Canadians from coast-tocoast-to-coast. A strong Alberta means a strong Canada.
