Graduation signals ending and beginning for students Michelle Pinon Editor

Graduation signals an ending and a new beginning for Grade 12 students.

Lamont High School’s 2016 graduation also signalled the same for Rose Konsorada, who is retiring as the school’s librarian, a position she has held for the past 27 years.

Konsorada, the special guest speaker during the graduation ceremony, held on Friday, June 24, said she was “happy” and “humbled” to have the honour of addressing the graduates.

Konsoroda said 2016 would mark an ending

and new beginning for both the students and herself. She jokingly told the students they would not forget her telling them to “push in their chairs” or make sure everyone was signed up for their flex courses. Her speech focused on the importance of connections, relationships, and change.

“Success and wealth are not as important as our relationships because that’s where true gratification comes in.”

She pointed out that small decisions are made with your head and large decisions with your heart, and encouraged the graduates to lead with their heart.

Librarian Rose Knosorada had a heard time holding back tears during the Principalʼs Tea. “Always remember to be good to people.” She also told the graduates not to underestimate the power of touch, of smiling or caring for one

another. “Relationships bring meaning to our lives…We must open our hearts to feel.”

Relationships are always changing, and she told the students not to be afraid of change because change offers new opportunities.

“Time has gone by and now it’s time to say goodbye,” concluded Konsorada. While Rose is retiring, she will continue to live in Lamont, and urged the students to always say hello to her and let her know what and how they are doing.

It was a bittersweet ending to a great career, and a true testament to her kindnesss, compassion, and caring for the stu-

Teachers Meagan Kelm and Allan Hope reply to a tribute from graduates. dents who will always remain family in her heart of hearts.

The evening was also bittersweet for teacher Meagan Kelm who will be leaving Lamont High at the end of the school year. Kelm and math teacher Allan Hope replied to the graduates tribute, and produced a

comical video presentation for the students to enjoy. Principal Sharon McLean and Assistant Principal Garry Russell unveiled and presented the pictorial composite of the graduates prior to the recessional song “Hall of Fame” by The Script.

Town of Bruderheim to hire economic development officer Michelle Pinon Editor

Economic and prosperity go hand in hand, and the Town of Bruderheim realizes the importance and value of that, and recently decided to hire an economic development officer.

The job posting has gone out, and the hope is to hire someone as soon as possible.

Patty Podoborozny, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Bruderheim, said the economic development officer will play an integral role in planning for future industrial development and now is the time to hire on. “We are very encouraged by the interest in the Alberta Industrial Heartland this past year, and are hoping that an economic development officer will continue to capture some of that opportunity for the Town of

Bruderheim.”

Podoborozny said the town is “very fortunate” to be located in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, and have had a lot of interest in commercial and industrial development within its municipality. “The Town of Bruderheim currently only has six per cent of its tax base coming from commercial development. To be a healthy, sustainable community, we are striving for 20 per cent commercial and industrial tax base.”

Podoborozny went on to explain, “The more economic growth that we experience, the better services we can provide our residents.” She cited recreational facilities, upgrades to existing infrastructure, including roads and buildings, seniors and young family programming, special events and enhanced municipal services.

“Economic development

leads to a high employment rate as well. With the gradual increase of profits from small businesses and firms due to economic development, business confidence increases and the business people put more efforts for even better profits.”

There were several construction projects that resulted from the efforts of Doug Sullivan,

who acted as the Executive Director of the Lamont Regional Economic Development Initiative (LCREDI) for the past couple of years.

“The position has attracted the hotel, the main street professional building development, the garage on main street, residential developers and much more,” noted Podoborozny.

On June 16 the LCRE-

DI committee, which is comprised of municipal representatives from Lamont, Bruderheim, Chipman, Andrew, Mundane and Lamont County, voted to end Sullivan’s contract, leaving Bruderheim without a development officer, stated Podoborozny. It left a void the town wanted to fill, and even though Podoborozny doesn’t have a crystal

ball, she does know that if the town does not market itself, it will not see a lot of new development in the future.

In regards to funding of the town’s new position, Podoborozny said funds to cover their salary for 2016 will come from the municipality’s contracted services budget.

The tax free for three program has been highly popular in the past, and now the town is hiring an economic development officer to help market the community.

‘Meet those challenges straight on with your head held high and your heart wide open’

Class Valedictorian Shaelyn Whiting Good evening ladies, gentlemen, honourable guests, and most importantly, fellow graduates. I am honoured to be speaking to you as the Valedictorian for the graduating class of 2016.

It is hard to believe that our six years at Lamont High School have come to an end, as we prepare to accept our diplomas and face whatever the future has in store for us. It has been a long six years, full of hard work and determination, but we definitely learned many things both within and outside of our classrooms.

One of the biggest things we learned is that we need the constant support and cooperation of each other in order to succeed. None of us could have made it this far without the relationships we formed as classmates and friends, as well as the connections we

developed with our teachers, and the support we received from our families.

These relationships have allowed us to survive high school and have brought us to sit before you all tonight.

When we began our journey at Lamont High, we thought that we knew all there was to know, and were prepared for everything that would be thrown our way. Boy were we wrong. For example, we had no idea that Mr. Hanke had his own form of public transportation called “The Pain Train”, nor were we aware how poor our ears were, as we were constantly “not hearing him”.

Curiosity was also frowned upon with Mr. Hanke; if you ever asked him “Why?” when he told you to do something, you were either guaranteeing yourself a one-way ticket on “The Pain Train”, or a trip straight to the corner.

Another thing we definitely were not prepared for was meeting the loudest man on earth, Mr. Hope.

His passion and enthusiasm for math is contagious, but sometimes distracting when you’re all the way down the hallway trying to write a science test, and listening to Mr. Hope yell his lesson and smack filing cabinets.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to let Mr. Hope use a megaphone this year

clearly does not value their hearing.

We joined Mr. Wyman for English class in grade 10, and throughout our high school careers he taught us to analyze and understand sources on a figurative as well as literal level, and to add adequate description to all of our written works. All the things we learned in his class will I’m sure be useful in the future when we are doing stuff.

As naïve young children taking our first steps across the road from the elementary school, we were not prepared for the amount of work that it would take to make it through high school, including some very late nights studying, group projects that quite honestly became more talking than working, and our teachers somehow all scheduling their tests for the exact same day.

However, all of these things forced us to work harder and strive for success, and we became stronger and more capable because of them.

On behalf of myself and my fellow graduates, I would like to extend my gratitude to those who have supported us and helped us become the people we are and to achieve all that we have up until this point.

To our teachers, thank you for so unselfishly shar-

ing your time, knowledge and experience with us.

You took the time to explain assignments, sometimes repeatedly because we weren’t paying attention. You allowed us to come to your classrooms after school for extra help, when you could have gone home to spend time with your families. You put in the effort to make lessons more interesting so we wouldn’t just tune you out.

You demanded excellence from us whether or not we wanted to give it, and you set the bar high and challenged us to live up to it.

For this we are truly grateful.

To our families, thank you for supporting us in more ways than it is possible to count. You forced us to get out of bed each morning, and made sure we were fed and clothed for school.

You herded us out the door to the bus stop or drove us to school yourselves. You tried to help us with homework and then laughed because you didn’t know how to do it either. You paid our school fees, came to our plays, attended our sporting events, and listened to our complaints.

You commiserated over our daily dramas, but you tried to give us enough space to work things out for ourselves. These are just a few of the thousands of ways

you’ve supported us on our journey.

Finally, thank you to my friends and fellow graduates. Coming from a small town, we have been fortunate enough to know each of our classmates on a personal level, and were able to work together to make it through high school and to graduation. Without you, high school would have been even more boring than it was, but it would not have been half as inspiring.

I know that as I look behind at all of you, I will measure my time here not in class periods or semesters, but in all the friendships I’ve enjoyed these last six years. I’ll remember each one fondly, as I’m sure you all will, too. And when many of our high school memories begin to fade, that’s how we’ll ultimately measure the time we spent here; not in periods or semesters or years, but in the relationships that we formed and the times we shared together. Without any of you, our friends, families, and teachers, none of us would have made it this far.

As a final thought going forward, I would like to leave you with some words a wise man once said: “When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it

happen, and those who wonder what happened.”

We stand here today on the precipice of the future.

It’s not a distant reality anymore. It begins here. It begins today. We began high school as children, but we are leaving here as adults. We’ve completed a level of education that will serve as the platform we use to launch ourselves into our futures. Some of us will go onto College or University, others will go straight into the work force, but each of us will travel a new path. No matter where we go or what we do, there are challenges ahead of us.

What I’m asking from each of you, and from myself, is to meet those challenges straight on with your head held high and your heart wide open. It’s not enough to simply try to get by in life. That doesn’t move the world forward.

You must try to excel in everything you do; strive for excellence in every task, large or small. So with that, I wish the best of luck to all of my fellow graduates as we take on the future, and hope that you will take advantage of all that life has to offer, and find success and happiness in all that you set your mind to.

Opinion Happy Canada Day Canada Day is such a great fun-filled and patriotic celebration, and last week I was reminded that on July 1, 2017 our country’s will turn 150.

Then my mind wandered back in time to July 1, 1967. Even though I was only three-and-a-half at the time, I vividly remember that special and historic day. My mom had sewed my twin sister and I special white and blue gingham dresses with black lace detail along the neckline and sleeves with a pretty ruffle at the hemline for the occasion.

I vividly recall the excitement surrounding the event, and looking at myself many times in the mirror that was attached to the front of our bathroom door, admiring how beautiful the dress was and how special I felt.

I also recall attending the event in the Village of New Norway, close to where we grew up. It was a blistering hot day, and I remember the playing of the Centennial Song and raising of the flag during the afternoon ceremony.

“Canada, one, two, little three Canadians.

A photo of my late mom Marion We love Bjornson, my twin sister Marilyn, left, thee…” and myself in our living room prior to I asked the Canada Day celebration on July my hus1, 1967. band, who is only a couple of years older than I am if he remembered the song. He said he never heard of it, so I broke out in song. That didn’t last long, and then he “googled” it, and we sat and listened to the joyful voices of The Young Canadian Singers.

The trip down memory lane was fun, and I decided to look into more information about the song and the man who wrote the lyrics and music.

Bobby Gimby, was touted as “The Pied Piper of Canada,” and his song Ca-na-da sold more than 500,000 copies. There were 50 different recordings of the song, and some 250 school choirs and bands recorded it in the Hallmark Recording Studios in Toronto.

In 1971 Gimby presented the original manuscript and all future royalties to the Boy Scouts of Canada.

So take time on Canada Day to count your many blessings, and sing loud and proud for our great country!

OP-ED: Creating a robust Alberta Alberta’s energy and resource industries have been the financial backbone of our Province and will continue to be a major economic generator.

Yet, Albertans cannot sit back and rely on these industries for investment, job creation, and economic growth to the degree we have in the past. The oil price plunge of the last two years, notwithstanding some recent upswing, has created hardship for the industry, the province, and many Albertans.

This is not the first time depressed commodity prices impacted us and it will not be the last time either. But we must act now so we are not as vulnerable to oil price swings as we have been in the past.

The question is, how do we do this in a way that leverages the energy sector, as well as “diversifies” the economy? We don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Recently a diverse group of Albertans gathered representing all major sectors of the Alberta economy to consider what we need to do to drive an innovative, robust, and resilient economy. There was a sense of urgency to tackle the questions and to land on ideas that create action now.

The shared challenge was to find a way to ensure the economy is more resilient to the global pressures we face – the rise and fall of oil prices, a lack of market access for our energy resources, increasing global competition for investment dollars, and technology development across all areas of the economy.

It is clear – creating a robust economy will only happen through a focused agenda involving industry, government and academia.

Through this type of collaboration many of the barriers, especially for

entrepreneurial advancement, can be removed.

This partnership will be pivotal to selecting the best opportunities and then guiding their implementation.

There is a disconnect among the government, business, and post-secondary sectors – and to move to Alberta 2.0 bringing these sectors together is crucial. Let’s begin this process by finding ways to commercialize research and then take that collaboration a step further to create opportunities for student development, applied research, and other new approaches that increase jobs at home and export opportunities.

The most successful economies based around innovation in the world have always been built upon the strength of connection between their post-secondary institutions and the private sector – think Harvard and M.I.T. in Boston or Stanford and Berkeley in the Silicon Valley. This is what we must work to create in Alberta.

Alberta has many strengths and these are the attributes that should drive innovative think-

ing. The province has experience and knowledge in the energy industry and by exporting technology, knowledge and experience will continue to drive this sector.

Alberta is very sophisticated in its agriculture industry, with water geomatics, health sciences, forestry and education and these afford opportunity for economic growth.

The key will be to focus and pick the areas that capitalize on our human resources, technological knowledge and have pathways to global opportunities.

It all begins with a razor sharp focus on prioritizing activities.

Instead of spreading efforts across every possible opportunity, deliberate decisions to choose the four or five areas where Alberta has a global competitive advantage is essential.

Let’s build on these strengths, prioritize actions, and be innovative to ensure our goals are achieved.

We propose establishing a Provincial Innovation Champion whose job is to focus research, financing, and innovation efforts to achieve results in our areas of focus. This champion’s job will be to create the ecosystem in which Alberta can attract both private and public investment by streamlining regulations and coordinating the organizations focused on innovation and research in our province.

For example, publicly funded organizations across Alberta are competing for national resources instead of working together to achieve the same goals.

The Innovation

Champion could undertake the effort to coordinate and prioritize between our public sector research and innovation branches to try and deliver a higher return on investment among our research organizations.

Going one step further the Innovation Champion should establish innovation hubs that focus on specific areas of research by leveraging existing public assets at post-secondary institutions across Alberta.

These hubs should include mentorship networks that help bridge the gap between our post-secondary and private sector while providing important learning opportunities to students. Alberta’s greatest resource is our people and we need to do a better job leveraging private sector expertise and activity into opportunities for post-secondary students in Alberta.

Finally, our Innovation Champion must work to ensure that Alberta is maintaining a competitive tax regime and eliminating unnecessary regulations. By providing the right ecosystem for economic development we can be more attractive to global and local business.

Alberta’s good fortune is its energy industry, but we can’t continue to count on one industry to ensure our prosperity.

Alberta 2.0 is about developing a robust economy of intent rather than one of circumstance.

Senator Doug Black and Dean Joseph Doucet are the co-chairs of Alberta 2.0 – a think tank focused on the future of the Alberta economy.

Province approves detailed design work for regional water supply Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County was one of 16 municipalities in the province that will receive funding under the Water For Life program.

The announcement, made on Monday, June 27, approved a grant of $677,700 for detailed design work for regional water supply.

Robyn Singleton, Chief Administrative Officer of Lamont County, confirmed the news.

Singleton said the monies to fund the detailed design work for a regional water supply line would go from the Lamont County Water Reservoir, (located adjacent to Highway 15 between Lamont and Bruderheim), and run to Star and St. Michael.

While there is no guarantee the province will fund the actual construc-

tion costs of the waterline, Singleton it would be extremely unusual not to fund the project.

The estimated cost of the waterline is pegged at $7 million, and normally the province covers 90 per cent of the costs of construction, he added.

How this announcement or future funding will affect changes to the existing water supply and system in St. Michael and factor into previous directives from Alberta Environment is not known at this time.

Singleton said discussions will have to take place when Harold Hamilton, Director of Public Works of Lamont County returns from vacation.

County council does not have another regular meeting slated until Tuesday, August 9th.

According to yesterday’s announcement, the Government of Alberta,

is supporting 60 water and wastewater projects throughout Alberta.

There are 34 new projects under the Alberta M u n i c i p a l Water/Wastewater Partnership program, 11 new Water For Life projects and 16 more AMWWP and W4L infrastructure improvement projects in smaller urban communities and rural municipalities across the province.

The AMWWP was initiated in 1991, and the Water For Life initiative was implemented on April 5, 2006.

According to the Ministry of Transportation, “The program ensures that Albertans have access to safe water supplies fand adequate wastewater treatment. All municipalities receiving assistance are encouraged to support Alberta companies, and are required to use the private sector for all work undertaken.

This program enhances life in smaller urban centers and allows municipalities to attract development to their communities.

From Where I Sit: Yes

by Hazel Anaka What is your default answer when an opportunity or invitation comes your way? Do you automatically say yes without determining whether that is the ‘true in your gut’ answer? Or

does some survivalist instinct lead you to say no because that is safer, comfier, less demanding?

Most of us have never stopped to figure out our usual MO. Clearly Shonda Rhimes is not most of us.

For the uninitiated she is the most powerful woman in Hollywood, creator of Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and Scandal, and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder. She owns Thursdays.

Is there anyone left who still believes that outward success auto-

matically means inner happiness?

Good.

Because when, over Thanksgiving meal preparations in 2013, Shonda’s eldest sister Delorse mutters that “You never say yes to anything” Shonda’s life changes forever.

Those six words, or the grenade as Rhimes describes them, sit dormant for several weeks.

They worm their way into her. She acknowledges their truth. She commits to saying Yes to everything (out of her comfort zone, crazy, out of character, goofy, everything!) for one year.

Need a Tell them Danny Hooper sent you

The first yes is when she’s invited to give the commencement address at her alma mater Dartmouth College. For a shy, introverted, “Type A, obsessive, workaholic control freak” to speak to the ten thousand who would gather would have been unthinkable before she made the commitment.

In “Year of Yes-How to Dance it Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person” Shonda demonstrates laugh out loud humour, outrageous honesty, and enviable courage as she tells us her story. And she is a storyteller extraordi-

naire. In nearly 300 pages she walks us through what yes has meant to her life. And how her life no longer looks or feels like it did when she was choosing the safe path of saying no.

No aspect of her life is untouched by this resolve. Getting over stage fright and delivering speeches or appearing on Jimmy Kimmel or acting on The Mindy Project is admirable.

Saying yes when her daughters ask, ‘wanna play?’ raises the stakes.

Losing one hundred twenty-seven pounds is heroic. Learning to accept a compliment with a thank you stops the disclaimers, the aw shucks, toe digging in the carpet approach to downplaying our brilliance. She continues to

say yes to people, to who she is, to difficult conversations, to ridding herself of toxic people.

The book, the experiment of ‘yes’ are remarkable in their scope. They leave no aspect of life unexamined, unchanged.

It inspires me to be better, to do better, to check my own behaviour to see if I’m living as authentically and honestly as I can. Negative self-talk and self-deprecating humour are hurting me and holding me back.

There are truths here I need to assimilate. I admire Shonda’s courage; her badassery and swagger; her opinions on Athlete Talk, the joy of writing and working hard, and the futility of hashtags without real action. Watch for more yeses in my life, from where I sit.

Childhood cancer survivor issues Miracle Wish challenge

By Leslie Cholowsky Editor of the Community Press

Many times pleas for help will appear on the internet that are often attached to a young, sick, child’s dying wish.

Almost every time, the story doesn’t withstand closer scrutiny, through a website like which actually tracks hoaxes, rumours, and other obvious mistruths, it is almost always a hoax.

This week, however, a story came directly from the Children’s Wish Foundation, a Canadian charity that helps Canadian children, families, and communities by granting the favourite wish of a child diag-

nosed with a life-threatening illness.

The story is that of Olivia, who at age two was diagnosed with stage three Wilms’ Tumor, a cancer of the kidneys.

She lost one kidney to the disease, and fought through her treatment, inspiring those around her with her strength and courage.

Olivia is currently in remission and is cancer free. When it came time to have a wish granted, her greatest wish was to have a special dance move that people could copy, video themselves doing it, and share it to social media, making her famous.

Children’s Wish

Foundation partnered Olivia with Canadian choreographer Blake McGrath, who helped her design a special dance move they call ‘the Livi’.

Anyone interested can learn the dance move by going to All video uploads should also contain the hashtag #DoTheLivi when posted to any social media platform.

A hashtag is a specific phrase or term that can be used to search all posts containing the term. For “DoTheLivi, Olivia will be able to search anywhere, using that term, and everything anyone has uploaded will show up for her to see.

It doesn’t cost anything, Olivia isn’t looking for donations, she’s looking for support.

If you’re willing, just learn the move, ask a friend to record you doing it, or better yet, get the friend to do it with you and get someone else to record it, then upload your video with the term “#DoTheLivi’ to your Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, or other social media platform.

Olivia could have chosen anything as her wish, but she wants to raise awareness for childhood cancer, and have her chance at being famous.

You can help her do that.

FAP celebrates grand opening of Gibbons station

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Local residents, dignitaries and Fort Air Partnership members cut the ribbon of the new continuous air monitoring station in Gibbons on June 18.

SUBMITTED ARTICLE Local residents, dignitaries and Fort Air Partnership (FAP) members gathered in the sunshine June 16 to celebrate the opening of FAP’s newest continuous air monitoring station in Gibbons. A ribbon cutting and cake followed speeches by town and provincial elected officials, and an official opening address by FAP Chair Keith Purves.

“This station at Gibbons is a positive addition to our network.

We look forward to having greater involvement with residents in this community,” said Purves. He explained that the Gibbons station is part of a national information network and that station data enables a current and forecast Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) to be calculated for Gibbons.

The Gibbons station is located just south of the Town of Gibbon’s administration building at 50 Avenue and 48 Street and was activated in February. The station monitors and collects data on seven substances (sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter) as well as weather infor-

mation.

The public can view a near real time live date feed for any substance tracked by the Gibbons station, or any of FAP’s other continuous air monitoring stations, at fortair.org. In addition to Gibbons, the website also posts continuous AQHI readings for Lamont County, Fort Saskatchewan, Bruderheim and Elk Island National Park.

North West Redwater Partnership provided funds for the purchase of the Gibbons station and the first year of operation. The station’s ongoing operation will be funded by the Northeast Capital Industrial Association, of which North West Redwater Partnership is a member.

The Government of Alberta provided a particulate matter analyzer to enable AQHI calculations.

Fort Air Partnership is a non-profit organization that monitors the air local residents breathe in and around Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

The collection and reporting on substances that affect air quality is transparent, guided by an expert scientific advisory group, and driven by national and provincial standards.

Olympic hockey hopeful returns to her roots Emerance Maschmeyer proud to call Bruderheim home Michelle Pinon Editor

Emerance Maschmeyer remembers attending Kindergarten to Grade 2, playing on the playground, phys. ed. in the gym, and the Christmas concerts.

Canada’s National Women’s Team goalie returned to her old stomping grounds on Thursday, June 23rd, to offer insight and advice to current students at Bruderheim School. “I’m Emerance Maschmeyer and I’m from here (Bruderheim) and proud of it.”

Emerance was joined by her brother Bonson, an accomplished hockey player in his own right, playing with the Kamloops Blazers as well as the St. Francis Xavier University men’s hockey team along with Taylor Dale, a former captain of the St. Francis Xavier University women’s team.

“Hockey is my fulltime job,” stated Emerance, who began playing hockey at the age Emerance of three. When she was Maschmeyer seven-years-old Emergence began playing goalie. “I was pretty awful at it, but I stuck with it and enjoyed it more and more.”

She not only improved, Emerance learned to excel in goal, mastering her skills and techniques over the years. She played in Pee Wee AA, Bantam and Midget AAA boy’s hockey as a goalie, and even earned a coveted spot between the pipes with the Lloydminster Bobcats with the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Later she earned spots on Team Alberta and Team Canada in the Winter Games, played for the under 18 Hockey Canada team that won a gold medal against US, all before heading off to Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts.

Emerance recently graduated from Harvard with a BA in sociology and economics. She will now be focusing on her Olympic dream and competing with Team Canada in the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeony Chang, South Korea.

Bronson and his girlfriend Taylor Dale will soon be heading to Germany. Bronson has signed a professional contract with the Fischtown Penguins to play in Bremerhaven, Germany this fall. Both Bronson and Taylor graduated from the business program at St. Francis Xavier University recently.

All three of the accomplished athletes and academics advised the students to find something they love to do and put all of their heart into it.

“Always strive to be your best,” added Emerance, who considers her number one attribute to be her positive attitude. “I’ve trained hard with a good attitude,” added Emerance, who stated with complete confidence, “All of you can achieve your own greatness.”

The trio answered more questions and signed autographed photos during classroom visits throughout the afternoon.

Riding Assoc. hosts sand hills clean up day Michelle Pinon Editor

On Saturday, June 11 members of the Bruderheim Riding Association (BRA) were out combing the sand hills for garbage during their annual clean up day.

The association, which has been in existence since 2012, works in association and co-oper-

ation with Alberta Fish and Wildlife, and collectively they gathered a total of 2,969 pounds of garbage on June 11.

“We’re looking at possibly holding another clean up day because we could only cover part of the area,” said Bruderheim Riding Association President Willy Maess.

He went on to say they found a lot of garbage, including a stolen vehi-

SUBMITTED PHOTO

A total of 38 members of the Bruderheim Riding Association were out in full force during their annual clean up day in the sand hills where they collected just under 3,000 pounds of garbage. cle, copper sheathing, and wood in the riding area. Overall, however, Maess said the amount of garbage that has been collected since the clean up began a couple of years ago has decreased overall.

“We work hand in hand, fish and wildlife officers, to keep the area clean and safe. We’re acting as stewards of the area.”

The sand hills, which are located north of Bruderheim, encompass a total of 80 acres.

The BRA is also a member of the Bruderheim & District Agricultural Society, and will be hosting an ATV event during the Heartland Ag. Days on

August 19, 20 and 21.

The association hosts monthly meetings for

members and non-members alike, and more information can be

found through media.

Fish & Game hosts outdoor archery shoot

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE LAMONT FISH & GAME ASSOCIATION

More than 110 avid archers participated in the fifth annual Outdoor 3D Archery Shoot near Lamont on June 10 and 11.

Michelle Pinon Editor

A total of 113 people

participated in the Lamont Fish & Game Association’s Outdoor 3D Archery Shoot that

was held on June 10 and 11 at the Trout Pond.

Organizer Murray Laronde was pleased with the turn out as well as sponsorship for the event. Even though the weather was inclement throughout the two day affair, it did not nega-

tively effect participation. “We had good support from our sponsors.

The prizes totalled about $3,000 worth.”

It was the fifth time the association has hosted the event, and Laronde said the number of archers, along with their

caliber of play, has continually increased in that time. “It was a good competition.”

Hinton shooter Stephanie Drewes won the youth grand prix, while Mike Bates won the adult grand prix. On Saturday, June 10, Rob

Hanes won the adult apple shoot, while Stephanie Drewes won the youth apple shoot.

On June 11, Jean Roy won the adult apple shoot, while Clay Laronde won the youth apple shoot.

Courtney Chopping takes careful aim at the target.

Murray Laronde presented Stephanie Drewes with a gift card for winning the youth apple shoot on Saturday.

Rob Hanes won the adult apple shoot on Saturday, and was presented with a cheque from Murray Laronde.

Clay Laronde, left, won the youth apple shoot on Sunday, and was presented with a gift card for his efforts by dad Murray Laronde.

Jean Roy holds up his cheque for winning Sundayʼs adult apple shoot.
