Lamont Hawks hoping to soar through Kraft Hockeyville Michelle Pinon Editor

Colin Peddle, recreation manager for the Town of Lamont, keeps an eye on the rising water levels in the buckets which were situated in the hallway leading to the dressing rooms in the Lamont Recreation Centre Friday afternoon during a balmy (plus 8 C) Chinook.

Angela MacKinnon could be the answer to Colin Peddle’s prayers.

In fact MacKinnon, fellow hockey parents, figure skating supporters, and community members could all be the answer to his prayers for a new roof for the Lamont Recreation Centre.

A leaky roof has plagued the recreation manager for years, and both he, and others would like to have it replaced. The bad news is that it would cost an estimated $350,000 to replace the arena portion of roof.

The good news is that a recent application through the Kraft Hockeyville contest could be the icing on the cake so to speak as the grand prize ($100,000) could help make the project a reality.

MacKinnon, grants co-ordinator for the Lamont Minor Hockey Association, filed the official Kraft Hockeyville nomination papers last week. The nomination was accepted, and she is jumping with excitement about the enormous opportunity, which would make a huge difference in the lives of hundreds of athletes living in Lamont County.

While winning the grand prize is a long shot, it has been successfully done in a number of communities throughout Canada since the contest began in 2006.

Kraft Hockeyville was developed by CBC Sports and sponsored by Kraft Foods and the NHL Players’ Association. It was first held as a reality TV series in 2006.

Since 2007, it has been relegated to segments aired during CBC’s Saturday night NHL coverage. The inaugural contest was won by Salmon River, Nova Scotia. The community is located in Digby County on the southwest coast which has a population in excess of 18,000.

The goal of the program is to help keep community rinks alive, and that’s the same goal of MacKinnon and Peddle, and they are hoping as many Lamont County residents will log onto the Kraft Hockeyville site to show their support for the Lamont Minor Hockey Association’s (LMHA) nomination.

The way the contest works is that an in-house panel will select the top 16 communities to compete between Feb. 10 to March 7.

On March 8 the top 16 are announced on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada. If Lamont is one of the 16 communities chosen, residents will be able to cast their votes between March 8 to March 10. The top four communities will then move onto a second round of voting between March 15 to March 17. The top two communities will be announced on March 22. The third audience voting period will be between March 22-24. The grand prize winner will be announced on April 5.

As part of the grand prize, the winner will get a cheque for $100,000 to be used for upgrades. The winner will also get the honour of hosting an NHL pre-season game in their hometown and a visit from CBC.

Physical challenges to test limits of Andrew School students Michelle Pinon Editor

Junior and senior high students at Andrew School will soon be testing their limits in a new and different way.

Thanks to athletics director Cory Kokotailo, students will be participating in a unique fitness challenge from February 10-20.

The idea came to Kokotailo one day, and he says he thought it would be a good way to show students how our daily training and conditioning in physical education pays off.

The overall goal of the Wildcats Fitness Challenge, says Kokotailo, “Is to give students an opportunity to test themselves, push themselves, and see where they stack up in the fitness area.

We have many athletes, hockey players, basketball players, volleyball players, and it is important for students to understand what physically fit means and where they are in that spectrum.”

Kokotailo is hoping for at least 30 participants, that is the total number of athletes on the various sports teams at

the school.

“Some staff have voiced interest in seeing where they stand in the fitness challenge. They are more than welcome to test their strengths as well,” adds Kokotailo.

Each day between Feb. 10 and 20, students will compete in a challenge during lunch hour. Each day the challenge will be different. All together there will be eight events, and these include: push ups, wall sit, burpie, plank, timed run, medicine ball throw, sit ups, and tire flip challenge.

Points will be awarded backwards from the number of participants. For example, if there are 15 participants, first place will receive 15 points, and last will receive one point in each event, explains Kokotailo. “We will crown a champion for both junior and senior high.”

Kokotailo says the fitness challenge will also be a good lead up to the Fun Run on June 7 when the students, staff and community members raise money to offset operating costs of the school’s van used for a variety of athletic events during the school year.

LHS athletes and fans will have a lot more to cheer about next season Michelle Pinon Editor

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY BRUDERHEIM SCHOOL

Students from Bruderheim School recently took a field trip to the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton. This group of kindergarten students didn’t mind posing by this reptile replica during the fun and informative excursion.

Athletes at Lamont High School (LHS) will have a lot to cheer about come September when they will playing sports on a brand new gymnasium floor.

Both students and staff at the junior/senior high are excited about the news, and can’t wait to test out the new planks this fall.

According to Calvin Wait, assistant director facility services at Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), the LHS gym floor has been sanded

and refinished multiple times and is at the end of its useful life. “In addition, the current floor has dead spots and is not stale. Also, there is water damage to the flooring, causing warping.”

As far as the age of the floor, Wait said, “EIPS inherited the facility in 2005, and the same floor is in place. Due to the thinning of the floor boards, it is suspected to be the original flooring which is from our records 1957.”

The cost to replace the floor is estimated to be $125,000, and funds will come out of the Infrastructure Maintenance Renewal

(IMR) program.

“We are currently in the design stage, however I would imagine the design will replicate what is currently in place.” In terms of materials, Wait said the most commonly used flooring for a wood gymnasium is maple.

The project will soon be entering the tendering process, and Wait said construction will begin in July and completion is anticipated to be the end of August 2014. The lights in the gymnasium will also be replaced at an estimated cost of $3,000.

From Where I Sit: 365 day project

By Hazel Anaka

For more than a year I had a small Post-It stuck to my desktop monitor.

Despite its highly visible location it was easy to stop really seeing this reminder. The message was simply: Start 365 Project.

The note was so old I needed to Google it on New Year’s Eve to remind me what it was and why I thought I needed to start one.

The original project started in 2008 when a woman named Hailey began seeing a nun because she was feeling

down. The nun suggested making it a daily practice to write down one thing she was grateful for. Hailey took it a step further by taking a Polaroid each day.

And the rest is history.

Since then the 365 Project has grown and morphed. Countless people treat it as a photography project. Some people snap whatever moves them each day.

Others chose a theme: clouds, self-portraits, documenting their child’s growth. The site offers suggestions and support to the over 130,000-registered project photographers. In a case of serendipity I learned Hilary is doing a photographic gratitude project.

Others chose to adapt the idea to something that made more sense in their lives. One website I discovered was devoted to “cool, strange and often obscure audio selections.”

Someone else decided to do daily review posts about movies he watched and

music he listened to.

As a visual artist who’s drifted away from regular art-making I was intrigued by those who’ve used the 365 concept to commit to daily art creation: iPad drawings, flamingos, greeting cards, flower arranging, a drawing or painting.

One led to the creation of 365 of those fun paper fortunetellers we all loved as kids. The time commitment to doing a daily art project precludes taking forever to create a ‘masterpiece’ and should produce a looser, freer result, I figure. And if we believe Malcolm Gladwell’s premise that it takes ten thousand hours of practice to become masterful at anything this goes a long way to logging those hours.

Writers and poets chose projects with some aspect of introspection and self-discovery involved.

Finding the discipline to complete an entire year and coming up with fresh ideas after the first

month or so are issues covered in some of the blogs I read. Pride of accomplishment seems to be a major reward in itself but some created blogs, improved skill sets, advanced careers and scored book deals.

New Years Day is the perfect time to start a new discipline but I was hard-pressed to pick a project exciting enough to hold my interest but not so time consuming I dropped it the minute I get really busy.

I’m happy to report that each day since January first I’ve written about 200 words about some aspect of the Ukrainian life. Some of them are memory based; some are the result of research. All have the potential to end up in the Babas & Borshch website, blog or festival. I’ll keep you posted from where I sit.

Opinion The new age of newspapers You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Or can you? Well, I think so; it just depends on the mindset and willingness of the dog.

While I probably should refrain from comparing myself to a dog; the analogy does apply to me in terms of professional development. That’s why I was so hyped when my publisher, Kerry Anderson, informed me I was all booked in for the annual Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association’s symposium in Calgary this past weekend.

It was a tremendous opportunity and learning experience. It was also a great chance to meet a few former colleagues and meet new industry contacts. It was so ironic that the first person I asked information from was Glen Mazza, publisher of The Mountaineer, the paper and place (Rocky Mountain House) where I landed my first full-time position as a reporter after graduating from Mount Royal College in 1985.

So it had been 28 years since I had been in contact with Glen or any of his family. Astonishing!

Scary as well, since initially we both didn’t quite recognize each other. He rubbed his balding gray hair and I patted my burgeoning jelly belly.

The photographic awards presentation was inspiring, and they had a power point presentation of some of the photographs that were submitted by other reporters and photographers throughout the province.

I attended four sessions on Saturday pertaining to editing and designing of news and feature pages, the art of storytelling, and pushing past routine photo assignments. You’re probably yawning by now, but introducing new ideas and techniques to make your reading experience more satisfying is good news.

We always joke that you won’t get rich in the newspaper business, but the richness comes from meeting people from all different walks of life, learning about their work, hobbies, volunteer interests and attending interesting, informative, and fun and exciting events each and every day. So for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Letter: Help the Hawks soar Rural Alberta. These two words paint a poignant picture. Life is simple here. There are certain values that you can see throughout our small towns - family, hard work, community and hockey. Any kind of hockey playing with pencils and a piece of scrunched up paper, playing in the basement with mini sticks, street hockey or league hockey.

I had the typical upbringing of the girls my age. Our older brothers played hockey - and we were the Rink Rats. It was a term of endearment our parents gave us because we roamed the bleachers and arenas throughout our youth.

Kerry Anderson Publisher

We were the queens of the stands, and our brothers the kings on the ice.

Those bleachers and those Saturday mornings are where legacies are created. Where talent is fostered and greatness is realized.

My brother wore the number 4 with pride. By lucky fortune my son now dons that same number for the Lamont Hawks. To see his face light up talking about hockey, playing hockey, talking in his sleep about hockey brings joy to me like nothing else can.

I see that same pride, that same boyish excitement in my husband. To see his love of the game

Michelle Pinon Editor

as he puts on his skates to go help at practices makes me see a side of him I never knew. The sense of community, of brotherhood of being part of a team is something I am so grateful I can provide for my son.

It has a legacy throughout both sides of our family. My son is so proud he shares the same number as Taylor Hall. He also is extremely proud to have a cousin in the NHL. Though it is a distant cousin he will most likely never meet you can see his eyes dance whenever the Avalanche play.

Sadly with a small town, come smaller teams. Sometimes the

teams are so small that we have to send our kids to other towns to play.

Our arena is in bad shape — really bad shape. The roof is leaking to the point where we have buckets in some of the dressing rooms.

The heaters don’t work that well and there is a general state of disrepair.

We all do what we can.

Being so small we need help.

With this bid, with this contest, I am doing what I can to help the Hawks continue to soar.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), January 28, 2014 - 5

$20 billion worth of planned investments in the Alberta Industrial Heartland is good news for the region Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association showcased the Heartland region’s potential to a sold out crowd of business, government, and community leaders at the annual Stakeholder Update and Luncheon Jan. 23.

Now in its 15th year, the Luncheon focused on the Heartland’s planned capital investments exceeding $20 billion and the resulting outlook for the region and province.

“Alberta’s growing supplies of natural resources, including oilsands and natural gas, are the keys to attracting investment from companies who will add value to our resources within provincial borders,”stated Wayne Woldanski, chair of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association.

“We are aware that Alberta is competing with other regions around the globe who also understand the major economic benefits from value added development. We need to work closely with local stakeholders and provin-

cial allies to ensure policies and planning make Alberta a leading contender,” stated Woldanski.

Discussions considered the billions in planned investment and projected the impacts beyond the capital projects themselves which include petrochemical manufacturing, refining, carbon capture and storage, and technology advancement.

The value added component of these and other projects provides multiple benefits: diversifying the provinceís economy to insulate it from energy commodity cycles, providing significant sources of non-royalty related revenues, and stimulating additional local markets for our energy resources.

“The growing volume of propane from upgrader offgas and shale gas in western Canada has created an exceptional opportunity to add value to these resources in Alberta,” said David Chappell, President of Williams Energy Canada.

“Williams’ PDH project will convert propane into propylene, a valuable petrochemical feedstock, creating a local market and higher returns for Alberta’s resources.”

Reflecting on Alberta’s and Canadaís role in an international context, keynote speaker Dr. Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs and best-selling author of The Big Shift explained.

“The Canada you thought you knew no longer exists.” Most people are unaware that the keystone economic and political drivers of this country are now Western Canada and the immigrants from China, India and other Asian countries who increasingly are turning Ontario into a Pacific-oriented province. Canada, with its ever-evolving economy and fluid demographic base, has become divorced from the traditions of its past and is moving in an entirely new direction. That’s a topic worth talking about!”

Fire prevention officer Trish Ming-Brison, with Mundare Fire & Rescue, holds up her daughter Danika’s helmet during a special presentation Jan. 24.

Michelle Pinon Editor

“Most of you know me as Miss Trish,” said Ming-Brison, who stood before Grade 1 and 2 students gathered in the Mundare School Library Friday morning.

Wearing her navy blue dress uniform of the Mundare Fire Department, MingBrison addressed the students, many of whom were her students in pre-school.

Ming-Brison, a certified Fire Prevention Officer, received her training just under a year ago; and was thrilled to be able to bring information and education to the students with the Play Safe - Be Safe program.

“Do you know why I am here

today?” asked Brisson. Then she answered her own question. “I’m here to talk about fire safety.”

The next question was: “What do you do if there’s a fire?”

The students quickly responded with such comments as: “If your clothes are on fire; stop, drop and roll” blurted one student. “If you smell smoke tell a parent,” said another. “If you are by yourself, go outside,” added another student.

“Call 911!” yelled another. “If you smell fire go down low and crawl to safety,” noted another.

Ming-Brison told the students never to play with matches or a lighter, and if their fire alarm at home goes off to exist through a door or window. “Take the

screen out and use a light piece of clothing (preferably white), and wave it out the window.”

She also emphasized the importance of having two ways out of the house, evacuation plan, and have a designated meeting place with parents and siblings.

She repeatedly told the students that the biggest priority for them is to get out of the house, and not to stop and take stuff with them or to try and find their pets.

With the assistance of her IPad, MingBrison illustrated the rapid progression of a mattress fire that progressed from a small fire to a raging inferno in less than four minutes.

“That’s why you can’t stick around.”

The students were also encouraged to talk to their parents

about what they had seen and heard during the presentation and to make a fire escape plan if they didn’t already have one.

Business Directory 1” $40/month; 2” $80/month Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch, left, accepts Automated External Defibrillator (AED) donation from Fortis representative Rick Burden. To Burden’s right is Bruderheim Fire Chief Bob Cote.

Fortis donates AED to Town of Bruderheim Rick Burden, the Stakeholder Relations Manager for Fortis Alberta, officially presented an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to Bruderheim’s Arena. “One of Fortis’ greatest concerns is safety,” states Burden, “With providing power to all Albertans being our number one priority.”

The AED, which is a small, portable device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest, could help to save lives. Up to 40,000 cardiac arrests occur in Canada every year, equating to one arrest every 12 minutes. When an AED and CPR are immediately available, the chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest is substantially improved, possibly by as much as 75%. “This donation brings us great comfort,” says Bruderheim Mayor, Karl Hauch. “Giving our residents and visitors access

to this equipment is very important to the community.”

To date Fortis has donated approximately 20 AEDs to different communities in Alberta, which cost approximately $2,500 each. This is an ongoing plan the company is committed to continue with, as machines become available.

Fortis provides other community investment opportunities as well, such as the Safety Star Award Grant and the C o m m u n i t y Naturalization Grant.

The Town of Bruderheim also recently received a $1,000 donation from Fortis toward the Bruderheim School Lunch Program.

“We are very fortunate and grateful to have neighbours like Fortis to partner with,” adds Hauch. “Fortis is committed to helping our community to be safe and healthy.”

12 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, January 28, 2014

Snowmobilers have rules too Steve Crosby, Lamont County Peace Officer With the onset of beautiful weather, snowmobilers have been out in force, taking advantage of the warmer temperatures. While snowmobiling is a fun and exciting outdoor activity, there are some issues that need to be taken into consideration, when you’re riding.

Trespassing. Be sure to talk to any landowners and secure their permission before driving over their land. There have recently been problems with land ownerís fences being cut, in order to allow snowmobilers access to the property.

Please be aware that under the Petty Trespass Act, snowmobiling on a land owners property without permission is punishable with a fine up to $2,000 or $5,000 for a second offense.

Destruction of property, in the case of cut fences, is a criminal act.

Registration and Insurance. Snowmobiles

must have registration and insurance, the same as a vehicle does, and must be able to produce the documents when requested by a Peace Officer. Not having insurance makes you vulnerable to significant penalties in the case of an accident to property or passengers.

Highways and Ditches. Driving in ditches is not allowed in Alberta, as ditches are considered part of the highway. Snowmobilers are allowed to cross highways, after all passengers are off, at the most direct, shortest and safest place to do so.

Age Requirements.

You must be 14 years of age to operate a snowmobile individually, on public land; otherwise you must be accompanied by an adult.

Thank you for being considerate toward landowners, and keeping safety for you and your passengers a top priority while snowmobiling.

Snow removal letter prompts suggestion for concern form Michelle Pinon Editor

A strongly worded letter from a Lamont resident regarding snow removal caught the attention of members of town council during the Jan. 14 meeting.

“It is with our sincere regret that we write this letter to the Town of Lamont council and administration, as they do not listen to the concerns of its residents,” stated Adrian Stach.

Coun.

Debra Dunsmore asked if the town had received anything in writing before this letter? Chief administrative officer (CAO) Sandi Maschmeyer said she was not aware of any previous letters, but that maybe former CAO Tom Miller had received some correspondence.

Maschmeyer did add that she spoke to Stach

and said public works would no longer be pushing snow from 50th Avenue along the south boundary east of 48 St. To her (Maschmeyer’s) knowledge there was no record of concerns, but Stach had told her that he had previously talked to public works about the issue.

Coun. Gail Hrehorets said that maybe the public works foreman should keep track of the request on a yearly basis, and that all concerns be channeled through administration. .

Maschmeyer said concerns that are brought to her attention are noted and then she notifies the public works foreman.

Coun.

Doug Pewarchuk said this would be a great opportunity to have Stach’s concerns put on the town’s new request, challenge and suggestion form.

“We should

respond to him and encourage he use the form in the future,” added Pewarchuk.

Town council recently adopted the form which asks residents and/or business owners to fill out the date, their name and address, telephone number, what their specific request, challenge or suggestion is, and to sign and date it.

The form itself stipulates that, “All forms must have a name, contact number and date in order for the town to effectively resolve any issues. Any anonymously forms will not be considered.”

The new forms are currently available at the town office, and plans are to put them on the town’s official website so it can be downloaded and printed off for residents and business owners.

Notice of Appeal Decision

2013 ASB Photo Contest Winners

1st Place County Life Jocelyn Harrold

2nd Place Country Life – Rhonda Peters

3rd Place – Country Life – Stan Cholak

1st Place Agriculture and Industry – Donna Melnyk

This is to notify you that an appeal against the APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS of Development Permit No. 028 13 with regard to the following:

Development Permit No.: 028/13

Land Description: SW 7 58 17 W4 Development: 7.68 ha (19 acres) Sand and Gravel Pit Extraction (Stages 1 and 2) – Respondent

Appellant: Peter Verchomin Land Owner: Jennifer Gargus Applicant: Scotford Aggregates Ltd.

was considered by the SUBDIVISION & DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD on January 6, 2014 and the decision of the SUBDIVISION & DEVELOPMENT APPEAL BOARD with regard to the appeal is as follows:

Background Facts The hearing related to an appeal made by Peter Verchomin on an approval (with conditions) by the Municipal Planning Commission for Development Permit 028/13 for a 7.68 ha (19 acres) sand and gravel pit extraction (stages 1 and 2).

The purpose of the hearing was to gather evidence and information from involved and concerned parties in order to give the Board Members enough information to make an informed decision as to the effect of the approved extension of the currently operating sand and gravel pit. Peter Verchomin and John Brimacombe presented verbal information for the Appellant. Todd Berg, Jaret Berg and Jennifer Gargus presented verbal information for the Respondent.

Decision The Board refused the appeal and upheld the decision of the Municipal Planning Commission to issue Development Permit 028/13 for a 7.68 ha (19 acres) Sand and Gravel Pit Extraction (stages 1 and 2), with the conditions imposed, with one amendment. Condition #5 shall be amended to provide as follows:

The days and hours of operation shall not extend beyond Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. & Saturday 7 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ABSOLUTELY NO OPERATIONS ON STATUTORY HOLIDAYS

Reasons The proposed use is a discretionary use for the lands under the Land Use Bylaw. The Appellant and those who spoke in favor of the appeal raised concerns related to noise, dust, safety and damage to the road. They relied upon their past experience with the Respondent in relation to an existing gravel pit located directly adjacent to the proposed location. The Appellant also raised concerns regarding the impact of the current gravel pit on his view and the length of time until reclamation is complete.

The Respondent indicated it currently operates a gravel pit in compliance with its approval from Alberta Environment respecting gravel removal and reclamation and that they are responsible for controlling dust on the road and maintaining the road under an agreement with Lamont County. They believe themselves to be in full compliance with it The Landowner (Gargus) addressed the Board with respect to her personal desire to have her property used for a gravel pit and confirmed the Respondents have been responsive and accommodating in the past with respect to her safety and noise concerns.

The Board recognizes that the proposed development of a 7.68 ha (19 acres) sand and gravel pit may negatively impact the neighbouring property owners. However, the Board concludes that the use is an appropriate use for the lands and the provisions of the current bylaw concerning gravel extraction, the required road haul agreement and the Respondents representations with respect to noise and dust control and road maintenance will adequately mitigate the majority of the Appellant’s concerns.

The required road haul agreement will address a number of the concerns raised with respect to dust and road maintenance and is enforceable by the County. The Board also concluded that the proposed use will not increase the present overall noise, dust or truck impact on those property owners located along the haul route.

A stricter condition with respect to operations on weekend and statutory holidays will further mitigate the Appellant’s concerns and reduce the negative impact of the proposed development on adjacent landowners.
