Young woman backstops mens oldtimers hockey team

BY JANA SEMENIUK When Bruderheim Comets Seniors hockey team needed a goalie to step in for their Dec. 17 game in Bruderheim, Jennifer Hauer, 23, was more than happy to help.

“I’m originally from this area and I’ve been playing (hockey) since I was eight,” she said. “When they said they needed a goalie for tonight I was more

than willing to come.”

Bruderheim town mayor and Comets team member, Karl Hauch, reached out to Hauer upon needing a goalie.

“Jen’s father Kevin plays for our team so he put me in touch with her,” he said. “I remembered she played hockey and thought it would be great to have her come out.”

Karl Hauch, Jennifer Hauer, and Kevin Hauer pose outside the dressing rooms at the Karol Maschmeyer Arena in Bruderheim. On Dec. 17, Jennifer made history by becoming the first female goalie to play for the Bruderheim Comets in the North of 50 hockey league.

Hauch added that the team had to seek special permission from the president of the league to have Hauer step in.

“Because it was on an emergency basis, and we are a senior men’s team, we had to get permission from the league president for Jen to be our goalie for the night,” he said.

The Bruderheim Comets are a part of the North of 50 hockey league which is a recreational hockey league for senior men over the age of 50. It was formed earlier this year after being spearheaded by Hauch.

“We actually didn’t have a men’s team in town for senior guys,” he said.

“So, we thought it would be great to start one of our own.”

The game on Dec. 17 ended with the Bruderheim Comets losing to the Old Sharks 11-10.

“It was a hard-fought defensive battle,” laughed Hauch. “Jen did a great job as goalie!”

In addition, the Hauer father and daughter team had a night of playing hockey together.

“I wanted to play as a kid because my two sisters and brother were doing it,” said Hauer.

Her father, Kevin, remembers her early years of playing hockey.

“I had her in figure skating for two years when she was little but she always begged to play hockey. As a kid she was so scrawny and runty I thought she would get killed out there,” he said. “But how could I say no when I let her two older sisters play?”

Hauer started playing hockey on a boy’s team in Lamont when she was eight, quickly moving into the goalie position.

“Halfway through her first season, she played in net,” said Kevin. “The coaches asked me if she could just stay in goal and she has been there ever since.”

Currently, Hauer is a member of the Direwolves hockey team which plays with the Capital City Recreation H o c k e y L e a g u e (CCRHL) in Edmonton as well as helping out other teams when they are short of players.

MP Stubbs renamed Natural Resources critic

BY JOHN MATHER Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs was recently reappointed as the shadow minister of Natural Resources carrying on the portfolio she had in the previous government.

“I’m very grateful to be able to continue in this position,” said Stubbs.

“Obviously I’ve really been honoured and thankful to be able to focus on oil and gas jobs, on pipelines and natural resource development because it so important.”

She stated she had tried to propose solutions and make contributions under the previous government.

“I talked about the role of responsible development and the creation of a national energy corridor, mapping out a conservative plan to get pipelines built and emphasizing Canada’s being a leader in envi-

ronmental stewardship … I hope that’s partly what happened to keep me in my role.”

Stubbs went on to state she was also kept busy advocating for agriculture and rural crime and other individual issues that impacted the Lakeland riding.

She said she initially thought not much had changed following the election of a minority government.

“When they read the speech from the throne, there was nothing concrete about making any real changes in policy,” she said. “It was just more empty words and there was no mention of the damages the Liberal policies had made on Canada’s economic growth,” she said.

But, she stated, the Conservatives won the first vote to come up in the new session.

“My experience in the

last term, was we were pretty sure to lose, so it was a cause for celebration among all the opposition parties to win that first vote.”

“So yeah, from that perspective the opposition parties are willing to work together.”

Still, she doubts the Liberal party is any more humble than it had been in the previous government.

Later last week, she lashed out at the Mandate Letters given out by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to his cabinet, including the one given to Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O”Regan.

“This mandate letter gives no assurance that Prime Minister Trudeau will take concrete action to change direction, listen to the concerns of Western Canadians and work to unite our nation.

MP reflects on year, wins election by largest landslide in history by female

BY JOHN MATHER While the year seems like a blur, Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs feels it has been a very “consequential year” for Canada.

“I worked hard and did my best to try and stop bad Liberal policy,” she said in a year end interview. “I would push back on their legislation like Bills C69 and C48 and really pushing them on giving a concrete timeline for completing the Trans Mountain Pipeline.”

She said she realizes the Trans Mountain project won’t be enough she will continue to battle for additional pipleines to get more products to market.

“The problem is with bill C69, the Liberals are making it virtually impossible for that to happen.”

“And of course I have spent a large amount of time advocating on the rural crime issue and have being working with my provincial counterparts on this file.”

She said much of the year was dominated by the Federal election and while the outcome, nationally wasn’t what she wanted, she said her

team is ready for another election sooner rather than later.

“I was very grateful to receive the endorsement of the voters in my Lakeland riding,” she said.

Stubbs not only received a resounding endorsement, she won the riding with the highest percentage of votes by a woman MP in the country’s history.

“I can’t hardly conceive of that,” she said. “It’s really quite incredible.”

She said while she was happy with the results, she knows it was the result of the strong message her consitutents wanted to send to Ottawa, and she hopes her work in both Ottawa and the constituency had an impact on the strong result.

“It’s gives me great pleasure every once in a while to say to some of the members from the centre of the universe, ‘look what my constituents did.’ ” While Stubbs spent the holidays in her riding and did attend some meetings in her office, she planned to take a few days away during the holidays with her husband.

al unity and economic crisis because of the Liberals’ anti-energy, anti-business, anti-natural resource development legislation, polices and regulations that intervene in, and undermine provincial jurisdiction,” Stubbs stated in a post on her web page.

She added, “There is no mention in this Mandate Letter of reversing the damaging changes to the project review process implemented by the Liberals’ ‘anti-energy, anti-business’ Bill C-69. This letter includes further commitments to new regulations, royalty frameworks, taxes and cost increases that will cause further uncertainty for new projects – compounding the damage from Bill C-69.”

She also posted a statement regarding Andrew Scheer stepping down as the leader of the

Opinion My reminder of what is important Our family spent a lot of time this Christmas thinking about my Dad and attending to his needs. Nothing unites a family like a sick family member, and despite how terrible his situation was, it brought together the people who love him at the exact time of year where that seems just a little bit more important than usual.

For us this Christmas season, the illness of my father and the absence of my mother both united our family and also reminded us of how the death of a single family member changes things forever.

You see, my Dad would never have gotten this sick if my Mom was still alive. Moms are like that. I am sure most of us have, or have had, a Mom like mine. She organized everything. She attended to everyone’s needs. She did all the little things that nobody even realized fully until she was no longer there to do them, and the whole time in complete anonymity.

Mom would have sent Dad to the doctor’s office months ago. But Mom has been gone 10 years now.

So, a typical man’s man from his era, Dad was just about on his death-bed before calling an ambulance and seeing his doctor. The whole thing was a complete surprise to my sister and I, though we speak to him at least weekly. He never once complained.

Because Mom was no longer there, the old “cowboy” (at heart) knew there were things going wrong with his old tired body but figured he’d just tough it out. I know that seems crazy to younger people these days, but this old crew had some tough hombres and going to a doc without losing a limb seemed fatuous.

So there we all were, at one time or another, at the hospital or having meals together. Reminiscing.

My sister lives in Northern Ireland and we hadn’t seen her in three years. My nephews, her sons, nobody had seen in months or even years. My young boys are a foot taller than the last time some of the relatives had seen them. My oldest son and wife, people hadn’t seen in ages. Those were happy moments at a scary time.

One of the saddest things I can ever remember was 10 years ago, standing next to Mom’s paliative care bed. In a wispy voice, she said: “Oh, darn! I wanted to see the boys grow up,” meaning her seven grandsons.

Every reader who has lost their mom knows the feeling of wanting to reach for a phone to tell Mom when a family member has had an accomplishment - no matter how small - until the sudden hesitation of realizing she is no longer here.

Dad’s getting better now, just growing old, as we all are. In 2020, I hope to cherish family memories a little more often as I too grow older. This Christmas was a good reminder of that.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Letter: historical help required to ID wedding picture Good Afternoon: I have a picture from my mother-inlaw - Nancy & William (Bill) Andreas (nee Pewarchuk) who used to live in the Wostok area.

Nancy grew up in the Lamont area in the early 1900s. When she moved to a care home in Lamont, I was given a number of family pictures which have been distributed.

However we have not been able to identify this wedding picture. I showed it to Fred & Lil Pewarchuk - during the summer of 2016

but no one was able to tell me the name of the wedding couple.

I was wondering if it is possible to place this photo in your newspaper and maybe someone from the family knew the couple so that it can be passed on to the family. Thank you for your consideration.

Wishing you and your staff a Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy & Prosperous New Year.

Lamont County cracks down on road use infractions

BY JOHN MATHER Lamont peace officer Derek Wright told council he has been cracking down on companies who are abusing or taking advantage of the County’s Road Use Agreements.

Reporting to council, Dec. 10, Wright said he was dealing with a couple of companies that haul sand and gravel in on County roads.

“We need to maintain the roads, so I have asked one company to bring their grader and maintain the shoulders of the roads where their trucks have damaged them, so the County doesn’t have to do this.”

He said other companies had been contacted about abusing the road use agreements by not driving on the designated roads as set out in the agreements.

“I’ve talked to these companies about their speeds on the roads,” he said. “There have been some near misses at intersections and I told the companies if their driver’s can’t control their speed, then I’ll cancel the agreements.”

Cossey scholarship winner announced Julia McRae, of Vermilion has been announced as this year’s winner of the Cossey Memorial 4-H Scholarship.

McRae has a total of nine years membership in 4-H programs in Vermilion, the most recent being with the Vermilion 4-H Sheep Club.

In addition, the University of Lethbridge student has been the president, treasurer, and secretary of her club.

The Cossey Memorial 4-H Scholarship was established in 1992 in memory of Ralph Cossey a purebred Hereford farmer from Chipman, who was a longtime supporter of 4-H. It is administered through the Alberta 4-H program and is awarded to a past or present 4-H member in the Northeast Region.

He added he’s been conducting daily patrols on County roads looking for any further infractions.

“As far as the road use agreement we usually get the companies to maintain the roads, correct?” asked Reeve David Diduck.

Wright said they did have to maintain the roads where they might damage it and Councillor Roy Anaka said he hoped they used

gravel that was up to the county standards.

“Within the agreement it states the quality they have to use,” said Wright. “If they don’t it will be stripped off, replaced with proper material and charged back to the company.”

Wright told council there are 250 trucks a day travelling from gravel pits in the northeast while another 32 come from the Sil Industrial Minerals pits.

STEAD, Greta Pansy It is with great sadness the family of Greta Pansy Stead (nee Murphy) of Chipman, Alberta announce her passing on December 20, 2019 at the age of 77. She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 47 years, Gary Stead, sons Patrick (Susan) of Calgary and Garret (Melissa Lynne) of Fort Saskatchewan, daughter Melissa Dawn of Leduc, her 6 grandchildren, Emma (15), Brianna (13), Hailey (12), Rebecca (10), Cameron (8), and Sawyer (3), many nieces, nephews, cousins and cherished friends.

Greta was pre-deceased by her parents Herbert and Pansy, her brothers

Claude, Ivan “Murph”, and James, sisters Ruby and Vaunda and grandson Clayton.

Cremation will take place and a Memorial Service will be held at the Chipman National Hall at 4715-50 St, Chipman, AB on Friday January 10, 2020 @ 1:00 pm.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff at the Lamont Auxiliary Hospital who cared for Greta during her time there.

Protestors visit MLA’s Vegreville office for Chirstmas

BY JANA SEMENIUK Protesters gathered in Vegreville on Dec. 18 to bring a message to Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk at her constituency office.

The ‘Coal for Kenney’ campaign comprised of five protesters, with two small children, armed with coal, signs and cards to communicate their concerns to her regarding Bills 21 and 22.

Bill 21, which, among other items, will suspend indexing of AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped) support payments, and Bill 22 which terminated the contract of the elections commissioner.

Protester Dane Woychuk, who relies on AISH support for his autism, felt spurned into action when numerous attempts to contact

Homeniuk to discuss his concerns regarding these bills, were not successful.

“I’ve been trying to set up a meeting with her for the past three weeks to discuss my concerns regarding Bills 21 and 22 and her blind support of these Bills,” said Woychuk. “And so far, I haven’t received any confirmation for a meeting time and I’ve been given the run around by her staff so I thought for this Christmas season she is deserving a big lump of coal.”

Woychuk explained that he acquired the ‘coal’ from a rock pile on his farm. He spraypainted the rocks black to simulate coal.

The protesters gathered at a gas station across the street from Homeniuk’s constituency office just before 1:00

“It’s locked tighter than Fort Knox,” commented protester Tarra Shipman after trying to open the locked door.

Shipman, who has lived in Edmonton for 10 years and supported by AISH for autism and ADHD ((attention deficient hyperactivity disorder))) wanted to get involved in the ‘Coal for Kenney’ campaign as she feels people with invisible disabilities are l a r g e l y ignored.

“When Tarra Shipman tries to open the you have invisdoor to Fort Saskatchewan- ible disabiliVegreville Jackie Armstrong- ties, you often Homeniuk's constituency office dur- get (from peoing the Coal for Kenney protest on ple) ‘funny you Dec 18. Lori Gray stands behind don’t look diswith her child standing beside her. abled’,” she

p.m. Once they marched towards her office, their chant could be heard, “Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Jason Kenney’s Got to Go! Hey Hey! Ho Ho…..” The group was met with a locked front door and no staff in sight.

“Not everyone gets in touch with the Minister. I thought this would help him,” she said. “When it comes to issues with AISH, those are handled directly through the minister, not the MLA’s office. If we would have met, I still would have had to forward this issue to the minister.”

Homeniuk stated that changes to AISH are due to the previous governments overspending.

“We were elected by the people to get our fiscal house in order.

Suspending the indexing of AISH payments does not mean payments are being reduced,” she said.

Realizing they were not going to meet with Homeniuk, the group quickly disbanded after leaving their ‘gifts’ in front of her constituency office door.

said. “We should be talked with by the UCP when it comes to drastic (budget) cuts within our government. People like us deserve to be acknowledged because we are shareholders as well.”

In response to the protest, Homeniuk said her office was ordered closed for the day by the Alberta Legislature sergeant-at-arms.

“My staff were alerted online that protesters were going to arrive with rocks,” she said. “They were afraid and called the sergeant-at-arms who ordered that the office be closed for their safety.”

In addition, Homeniuk stated that she put Woychuk in touch with the Minister of Community and Social Services, Rajan Sawhney to address his concerns.

New rail facility slated for the Industrial Heartland

BY JOHN MATHER An announcement made just before Christmas will create more jobs in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

Cando Rail Services, based out of Brandon, Manitoba, announced they will be building the Candu Sturgeon Terminal in Sturgeon County just south of the Pembina Kuwait petrochemical complex currently under construction.

The first phase of the Cando project will include a loop-track system to enable the storage of up to 1,900 railcars.

The company has 302 acres on which the project is situated.

“We want to thank CN,” said Candu president and CEO Brian Cornick. “We started in 2016 and we’re just now turning sod on the project.

“The changes over the past couple of years has really accelerated the opportunity for us and CN’s help has been outstanding.”

Candu, he said, is a 40-

year-old, employee owned company.

“We always have been asking how can we do what needs to be done out here,” he said. “We move 85 per cent of the potash in Canada and every Toyota built in Canada is moved by us.”

In Edmonton, the company has 55 employees, and 186 employees province-wide.

That, said Cornick, will soon expand to 250 within two months.

“This is the single largest investment in our

more Alberta product to international markets faster with the help of CN. “This is on a CN only line,” he said. CN will service us on a daily basis to move the cars to the Scotford Yard to build trains that will go to the Port of Vancouver or down to the Houston Gulf terminals.”

Cornick said about a dozen new jobs would be created at the facility.

The project is expected to be operational about the fourth quarter of

BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County refused to approve a 1.5% levy increase from the Northern Lights Library system.

At the Nov 23, meeting the Northern Lights Board of Directors had approved their budget which included an increase of $5.23 per capita for municipalities and $10.46 per capita for municipalities without a library board.

Ads take approximately 10 days to process

The County of Lamont will not be supporting this budget request,” said Chief Administrative Officer, Stephen Hill.

“The province has set the tone of moderation and reduction. Municipalities are subject to several revenue reductions and will be expecting the various Boards will finish within their means to meet the same restrictions and find ways to accommo-

date financial restraints.”

He mentioned as background to the decision to reject the budget request, one of the executive board members of the Northern Lights had gone to Paris to attend a conference and that didn’t really show restraint.

Reeve David Diduck felt that the board sending out the letter stating the increase would be happening was wrong.

“I sit on the board and

the letter should be asking if the municipalities would accept the 1.5% increase. If two thirds of municipalities say no then there would be no increase.

“It’s really not up to them, it’s up to the individual municipalities.”

Council agreed and did not accept the request for the levy increase from Northern Lights.

large pinch point in the Industrial Heartland.

“This will enable CN and CP to get core product to market faster because it gives them a release valve.”

He said CN’s Scotford Yard is too full to build unit trains and those will now be able to be built at the Cando site.

“We will assemble everything and CN will come in and just hook and haul,” stated Cornick. “They’ll bring in their mainline power and take the trains to their final destination. It will make a dent in the bottlenecks.”

“Cando’s investment will allow the industrial facilities in the heartland to concentrate on their core business while partnering with Cando to access increased transportation and logistics solutions,” stated Sturgeon County deputy mayor Neal Comeau.

“The world class rail infrastructure will further enhance the competitiveness of Sturgeon County and Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.”
