Agriculture one of the bright spots in Alberta’s economy according to Hirsch Michelle Pinon Editor

Even though Alberta’s economic outlook for 2016 is far different than it was a year ago, ATB’s Chief Economist Todd Hirsch told a group of about 100 business,

Todd Hirsch municipal, and community leaders in Vegreville on Jan. 18th there are some bright spots to look to this year.

One of those bright spots is the agriculture industry. “It’s still the

bright light in the economy,” stated Hirsch. “It (agriculture) is a good example of how to not only thrive, but survive.”

A couple of the other bright spots in Alberta’s economy are forestry and tourism. While the topic of economic diversification is a popular one, Hirsch said, no one really defines it or has a really good idea of how to make it happen.

One form of diversification, organic diversification, is something new companies might be inclined to offer, but Hirsch pointed out that growing conditions would have to be right in order for that to work effectively.

In terms of the Canadian dollar, Hirsch told the crowd he doesn’t believe we’ve seen it bottom out yet. Because the Canadian dollar is directly linked to the price of oil, there will

continue to be ongoing pressure on both of them. Over the course of the year, Hirsch predicts the price of oil to stabilize at $50 per barrel, that is unless “something dramatic happens” to collapse the Chinese economy. “There is still a lot of anxiety. It all hangs in the balance because they (the Chinese) control commodity prices.

“The number one concern of the Bank of Canada is the petroleum industry. Until this situation improves, the Canadian economy is in trouble.” While the Canadian economy is not in a “freefall”; Hirsch said it will remain “flat” this year. He also expects interest rates to remain relatively the same, which will be good for people with variable mortgage rates and spenders.

Hirsch said a downturn of between five and

10 per cent is expected in the housing market this year, but reminded audience members that the housing market also saw a 40 per cent increase over the last six years.

He also said there would be more availability in terms of office and industrial space for buyers and renters.

Rather than “hunkering down” though, Hirsch encouraged businesses as well as individuals to assess their own situation and take their destiny into their own hands. He emphasized this point by quoting one of the recent statements made by Adam Legge, President of the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, who said: “We can choose to be the Alberta that doesn’t let the world happen to us, but the one that takes our own destiny in our own hands.”

Opinion From Where I Sit: Making Memories

Terrorism heightens the fear factor Another day, another terrorist attack.

An exaggeration to be sure, but there is a certain amount of truth in that statement as extremist attacks are becoming more severe and frequent in recent weeks and months. The attacks are more widely broadcast in many more mediums, and much quicker than ever before.

For example, on Wednesday at lunchtime I was reading a press release from a Canadian Muslim Community who were condemning a terror attack targeting students in Pakistan earlier in the day. “The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada categorically and unequivocally condemns the attack on Bacha Khan University in Peshaward, Pakistan.”

Tragically, at least 19 civilians have been reported dead and many more were critically injured in the attack.

I hadn’t even digested the previous week’s terror attack at a luxury hotel in Burkina Faso, Africa, where 29 people were killed, six of whom were missionaries from Quebec.

Then my mind went back to the Paris attacks that occurred on Nov. 13, 2015. Less than nine months prior, two gunmen forced their way into the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Bebdo, and

killed 11 people and injured 11 others in the office building. The terrorist belonged to the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda.

In fact, if you go on the Government of Canada’s public safety website, it has information on national security, counter terrorism, as well as a list of terrorist entities. The website stated: “Several of the listed entities are known under different names. As well, some spellings of names may differ.” On the list were at total of 54 organizations.

It is believed these terrorist groups are becoming as powerful as military forces.

Terrorist are not only dominant forces in current conflicts throughout the world, but many have infiltrated democratic peace abiding countries and society in general.

Recruitment and radicalization of “home grown” citizens is becoming more prevalent, and the RCMP have had to develop a counter-terrorism strategy.

While measures have and currently are being taken, it is a fact that terrorists in Canada and abroad are becoming more powerful and their reach becoming more extensive. They prey on the vulnerable, and now, more and more innocent people are becoming targets unknowingly. I think

back to the attack on Parliament Hill back on Oct. 22, 2014. Lamont area residents Trent and Janine Whiting were caught up in the terrorist melee. Fortunately, they were not injured in the attack, but it illustrates how close one can get to a life and death situation without any warning.

Travelling abroad is becoming a growing concern, and several school boards have already cancelled international trips that were planned this year because of the heightened risks and potential dangers to students and teachers.

I have heard rumblings that even field trips within the province may be cancelled as well. I guess the difficult would be balancing how great and real the threat could be versus the benefits the field trips would have for students, especially those who may not otherwise be able to have those experiences.

Those decisions are a direct consequence of terrorism, so maybe my exaggeration isn’t such an exaggeration after all. The fine line will be trying to balance potential benefits against the risks to personal safety.

The greatest risk is allowing fear rule those decisions.

By Hazel Anaka Every so often a kid needs to play hooky. If schedules permit and the planets align you might get to be the lucky partner in crime. Such was my good fortune the other day.

Grady did a sleepover with us at Fantasyland Hotel. We were first taken to the truck room.

However, needing to climb a ladder bolted to the side of the truck box to get into bed seemed like a very bad idea for older bladders. Off we trundled to the igloo room with a normal bed at a normal height. The curtained off bunk beds gave Grady the choice of a couple different ‘nests’ to play and sleep in.

Thank God that little guy now reads when he gets up instead of waking me

Michelle Pinon

up at 6!

We ate yogurt for breakfast and amused ourselves with a few rounds of dominoes, hang man, and War played with a Ninja Turtle deck of cards. I quizzed him on his spelling words and supervised the reading of his library book. Then at noon with clear consciences we headed over to Galaxyland.

This year he was tall enough to be allowed on all the rides. Whew. Last year he was stuck on the baby rides because I couldn’t, wouldn’t go on any of them. Projectile vomit is never good.

This time he drove the adult bumper car and went on the Flying Galleon. A kind attendant let me compete against him in the Time Quest as we ran around trying to hit the circles as they randomly lit up. It’s a real cardio workout and lots of fun until someone dies. And while my score was respectable he beat me each time.

Adjacent to it was Lazer Vault. The idea is to get to the two lights on the far walls without ‘breaking’ any laser beams in the process.

You know, just like when

the bad guys are doing a jewelry heist or stealing valuable antiquities from a museum. I was able to watch his progress on a monitor as he stepped over or shimmied under beams. He loved it even though his score wasn’t great.

Grady won a plush turtle by breaking three balloons with four darts.

Not bad considering it was his first time throwing darts and how games of chance are rigged to favour the house.

After I spoke to the mother of a young boy (also playing hooky) the guys became fast friends and were literally off and running. They had a ball tearing from one ride to another. When an adult chaperone was needed the mom happily joined them. In the meantime, the dad and I talked politics, the economy, what this world is coming to.

Nothing was resolved.

I accomplished a lot of work before Grady arrived and after he left.

Taking time to play hooky with a kid seems like a good idea. Making some memories in the process is the bonus from where I sit.

The Sacred Key unlocks talents Michelle Pinon Editor

Writing and promoting her debut novel The Sacred Key is getting Natasha Dawn Giofu out of her shell, and out of her pyjamas, as the up and coming local author made an appearance at the Lamont Public Library last Thursday evening.

Giofu, a Lamont resident and young mother of three, nervously read a passage of her book to members of the book club, a club she is also a member of. Giofu was nervous, but fellow members and supporters helped make her feel more at ease during question and answer period.

While Giofu admits to still having baby brain, her youngest child is only seven-months-old, she does plan to write another novel. The catch

is trying to find the time.

The young mom, who is planning to return to her position at Lamont High School in the administration office this September, is hoping that once she has more of schedule to be able to put some of her ideas onto paper.

Giofu describes The Sacred Key as paranormal fantasy novel. The supernatural and romance have always captured her imagination, and Giofu said she wanted to write a cool story all of her own. A self professed book nerd, Giofu said she wanted to write a story everyone could relate to, and one with a happy ending.

It took three years to complete the process from start to finish. Giofu said she wrote the book chapter by chapter, reading it over and over until she came up with the title of the novel at the

last. Her favourite part of the book is when one of the main characters (Jax), and witch Seraphina have it out.

Giofu’s words flow well throughout the book, and she makes reading effortless, and spurs on readers using suspense, mysticism, and vivid imagery. The prologue sets the stage with the word, “Run. I hoofed it like hell hounds snapped at my ankles through the tall grass, pressing the tiny bundle tightly against my chest. Blair. The two words swirled in my head, my only thoughts.

I couldn’t have imagined the pure evil, the betrayal, the disregard for such a precious package. I ran like the wind, tapping into an unnatural strength, and still, I heard them closing in, coming for me. Coming for him.”

The ending of the book

MICHELLE PINON

Lamont author Natasha Dawn Giofu reads a passage of her debut novel The Sacred Key during her book signing event on Thursday, Jan.21st. is left open for a possible sequel, and maybe someday, when she isn’t changing diapers, and running after her three young children, she’ll be able to put more of her ideas on paper, and produce more wonderful works to share with her growing fan base.

for a Staff Meeting

noon to 3 pm on Wed., Jan. 27. from

AIHA stakeholder event held Doug Sullivan, Executive Director of the Lamont County Regional Economic Development Initiative (LCREDI), was one of about 600 people in attendance for the annual stakeholder luncheon on Jan. 21.

The event, hosted by the Alberta Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA) was a networking opportunity and source of information for audience members.

“Although there were no direct opportunities presented for Lamont County and our communities, there are definitely spinoff opportunities available to our communites, including service industries, commercial, and residential expansion,” stated Sullivan.

He went on to say, “There was a lot of interest expressed by companies based across North America and Europe who are looking to establish a foothold in Alberta, particularly in the service industries. It was gratifying to see that the Heartland is getting more attention from other jurisdictions. Neil Shelly and his staff have done a lot to increase our

profile.”

World demand for petrochemicals is expected to outpace GDP growth over the next decade. This growing demand coupled with Alberta’s robust petrochemical sector and abundant feedstock fueled optimism among a capacity crowd at the annual Stakeholder Luncheon.

Key statistics and trends were shared with leaders in business, industry and government representatives curious about the state of industrial growth given sluggish oil prices. “We can’t change the price of oil. We can’t change the global economy,” commented Ed Gibbons, Chair of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association.

“We can, however, shift our focus to the petrochemical sector that has long been a strength in Alberta. Not only is it currently holding steady, this sector has the potential to expand despite a gloomy economy.”

According to Allan Fogwill, President and CEO of the Canadian Energy Research

Institute (CERI), expansion of the petrochemical industry in Canada is a reasonable option. A recent CERI study showed that low cost and abundant feedstock in the province is a key factor for a competitive petrochemical sector in Alberta.

Sharing details on exactly what this growth could mean for the province, Neil Shelly, Executive Director of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association estimates new capital investment could total $27.5 billion and generate 24,000 construction jobs. This includes new facilities to refine bitumen, produce fertilizer, and process propane.

“While we see the potential for Alberta, we are operating in a very competitive market for global investment,” explained Shelly.

He further noted that achieving success for Alberta will require a cooperative effort with industry, investors, and government on issues such as market access, capital cost, taxation, and regulatory processes.

The Town of Bruderheim hosted a fire hall building fund celebration on Wednesday, Jan. 20th to officially recognize contributers to the special project.

Mayor Karl Hauch said fire hall is a good example of co-operation between the Town of Bruderheim, Province of Alberta, Lamont and Strathcona County as well as its industry partners.

Hauch said the community couldn’t survive without the support it receives from its partners. One of those partners is Shell, and Sanny Chan, Emergency Response and Safety Manager at Shell Scotford, stated, “We appreciate the relationship we have with the town.” What is most exciting, added Chan, is being able to see investment in action. Shell donated funds for the town’s generator and the emergency street lights outside of the fire station.

Enbridge is also a sponsor in the project, and Lisa Seeley, public affairs advisor western region for Enbridge

Pipelines, was present during the celebration.

On behalf of the company, Seeley also presented a $10,000 cheque to go towards the purchase of a new rescue truck for the Bruderheim Fire Dept.

Lakeland MP and former Chipman area resident Shannon Stubbs, who was also present at the celebration, recognized and thanked the dedicated community members, generous donors and corporate supporters who contributed to the construction of the fire hall and emergency preparedness in Bruderheim and Lamont County overall.

Stubbs said it was very special for her personally to be able to celebrate the special occasion. “I remember the dads and uncles and friends who were volunteer firefighters and first responders where I grew up, and I’m struck that they were also often pillars of the community, members and volunteers with Lions Clubs, Ag. Societies, Legions, 4-H, community improvement committees and support groups for vulnerable and less fortunate people. They were often part of everything the communities did. So

it is really an honour and a privilege for me to be here with you.”

She also had some very special words for the Bruderheim Fire Department. “All of us, and especially those of us from small towns and rural communities, I think, need to value and recognize you and everything you do for all of us.

I understand the Bruderheim Fire Department was established in 1915, and it continues to be run by dedicated volunteers today.

You know, I think it’s safe to say that all communities and community groups depend on volunteers of all folks. But there is truly something a little bit different and special, something that sets apart, the folks who volunteer to put their own safety, well-being and lives at risk to help others during their very worst times. Your families and friends are partners in your commitment, and together, you make great sacrifices for your neighbours and your communities as a whole. What a huge gift of yourselves you continually give to all of us.”

The Andrew Aces Bantam hockey team played host to five other teams during their annual tournament this past weekend.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Colby Foreman

Carri Hrehorets

Small town energy, wonderful comaraderie, and great chemistry are just a few of the characteristics that make the Andrew Aces Bantam Hockey Team so successful.

“The kids live and breathe hockey,” says mom Melahna Sidor. “They are together all the time.” So both on and off the ice, the players and friends are a force to be reckoned with.

Another force, that everyone says is the driving force behind the team is manager Carri Hrehorets. While Carri is shy about the focus being on her, husband Brian isn’t so shy, and states: “My wife is the biggest part of why there’s hockey in town.” In fact, the bantam team is the only minor hockey team currently playing in the community.

For twelve of the past 19 years, Hrehorets has been the President of the Andrew Minor Hockey Association. She is also President of the Andrew Agricultural Society which hosts the annual Sportoff event in June as well as the Garlic Festival in October of every year.

In true Carri Hrehorets style, she smiles shyly and looks down, while saying she has a great executive to work with. “So everything flows smooth.” No matter

what the event, Hrehorets, always ensures that everything goes like clock work.

Hrehorets also credits her late father Mac Danyluk, who was the driving force behind minor hockey in Andrew beginning in the late seventies. “He organized many teams and created many provincial championship teams as well. Once my parents moved to Fort Saskatchewan in 1988, he still continued to help fundraise for Andrew Minor Hockey as this is where his hockey passion began.

He passed away in 2006.”

She went on to say, “He was proud of my leadership for Andrew Minor Hockey then and he would still be so proud that we are keeping it going.” Keeping hockey going beyond the midget level is highly unlikely since there are no other age levels playing at the present. But, Hrehorets, and others can’t dwell on what might be, when they have to focus on the here and now, and making it the best experience possible for the kids both on and off the ice.

Of this season’s team, coach Brian says the players have a lot of “heart and desire” and come to play every game and every practice. He says the players motivate each other, and stick up for each other, and are good leaders in their own way.

Blaine Hrehorets, one of Carri and Brian’s four boys has helped

coach the team for the past three years. Blaine also loved playing hockey, and is always itching to get back out on the ice. He also loves coaching, and is a great role model for the players, who are also like family to him.

Of the 14 players, six of them have played together every year since they started playing hockey six years ago. The core group are so accustomed to playing together that they know where they should be before they get there, and what they need to do before it has to happen.

“If one of them is in trouble, all of them are in trouble,” laughs Sidor, who fondly refers to the kids as “the punks.” Being in the dog house doesn’t happen all too often, and Sidor, along with the other parents, are very proud of the well behaved brood, they collectively call their own.

The team also has the most loyal fans in George and Liz Hrehorets and John and Irene Fesyk, who come to all the home games, to cheer the team on. “They always sit in the same seat,” adds Sidor.

So as long as there is hockey in Andrew, the Hrehorets and Fesyks will remain a constant in the scheme of things, while the youth and parents continue to deal the hand they are dealt with.

Who knows, maybe they will find a few more tricks up their sleeves?

As of January 1, 2016, the Subdivision Authority of Lamont County as established by Council, is the Director or Acting Director of Planning and Community Services. If you have any questions about the subdivision process please contact the Planning and Development Department at 780-895-2233.

Please remember, as you are clearing your approach from snow fall, Do NOT push the snow across the county road.

The movement of snow across a roadway can often leave ridges, ruts or piles of snow that become dangerous and could cause damage to the motoring public; you, the landowner, could be held liable.

When plowing out your own driveway or having a private contractor plow, the snow MUST be pushed ďĂĐŬ ŽŶƚŽ ƚŚĞ ƌĞƐŝĚĞŶƚ͛Ɛ ƉƌŽƉĞƌƚLJ Žƌ ƚŽ ƚŚĞ ƌŝŐŚƚ ƐŝĚĞ ŽĨ the approach and must be pushed away from the driving lanes, NOT across the road into the opposite ditch. This allows the grader operator to lessen the amount of snow left at driveway entrances.

Thank you for cooperation in helping to maintain safe roads for our residents!
