After two-year hiatus, Chipman Show and Shine - overwhelming Over 3,500 show up to view 350 classic vehicles BY JOHN MATHER The 20th version of the Chipman Car Crafters Show and Shine on the streets of Chipman was much more than club president Dave Gray expected. “It was awesome,” he said. “We hadn’t held the show for two years because of Covid so no one was really sure what to expect.” He said he arrived at the show at 6:30 Sunday morning and there were already two cars there ready to be parked. “It all happened so fast… suddenly it’s 3 p.m. and we’re handing out the trophies.” In all, the organizer said more than 350 vehicles were on display along Chipman’s main street and all of its side streets as well. Vehicles and their owners came from within Alberta, but almost everywhere in the north was represented. Gray said the furthest anyone travelled was from Grande Prairie, but others came from Red Deer, Czar, Fort McMurray, Cold Lake, Athabasca, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Fort Saskatchewan, Lamont and of course Edmonton. “I really want to thank our volunteers and sponsors for making this show work,” said Gray. “To our members… their commitment to the day and to all the things that had to be done to make the day a success is amazing. Without these people we would never be able to host the show.” During the afternoon trophies presentation, founding members of the Chipman Car Crafters Alf Zips, Lionel Thomas, Harvey Hauer, and Rick Thornton were honoured as was 20 year club member Jane Berg. Gray estimates more than 3,500 people turned out during the course of the day to view the classics on display.
1930 Ford Model A
No matter where you were in Chipman, June 5 you couldn’t dodge seeing a classic collector car as the Chipman Car Crafters held their first public show and shine in two years. Even the parking area adjoining the Community Hall was filled as more than 350 vehicles were out on display. This aerial shot was taken by Marty Brown with the Alberta Iron Indians Pontiac Club and its president Dave Scragg.

BY JANA SEMENIUK Fort Saskatchewan resident Tom Emes has a deep personal connection to the 1930 Ford Model A truck he brought to the Chipman Car Show this past weekend. It’s been in his family for over 70 years. “It's a 1930 model A that my dad bought in 1950,” he said. “It was in a bit better shape than this, but not much. It had been rolled over and his buddy took the motor out of it. My dad bought it off him.” Emes explained that his dad drove the truck between Beaver Lodge and Dawson Creek for four years then brought the truck to the family farm where it was fitted with a sprayer and used to spray fields until the 70s. “I got it probably 10 years ago, when they sold the farm they were just trying to get rid of stuff. I didn't think it would run but we put some gas in it, brought it to Fort St. John, and played with it for a little bit and it's been running ever since,” he said. “It’ll start and drive perfectly.” Emes added that he hasn’t done any work to the truck and has no plans to. “I don't think there's anything else I can do to it. No, it's gonna stay the way it is,” he said. “Now it's just on my front lawn as a yard ornament. It's a great conversation piece.”
1957 Morris Minor BY JANA SEMENIUK Chipman Car Crafters entrant Ken Davison smiled big on Sunday when his 1957 Morris Minor captured first place in the Imports class at the car show. Davison said he has been coming to the show for the past seven years and thrilled to be back after COVID restrictions shut the show down. “I’ve gone to quite a few (car shows) through the years. Sure, have missed them the last two years because most of them were canceled. So, it's nice to see them on again. That's why it's packed here. Everybody's feeling the same way and want to get out with their cars.”

With more than 350 vehicles at the Chipman Car Crafters Show and Shine June 5, there were bound to be some classic examples of 1950s design excess in the form of large fins. While some of the huge fins as seen on late 50s Cadillacs and Chevrolets weren't there, some of the examples were such as a 1955 Chevy, a 1957 Chevy, a 1957 Pontiac, a 1957 Ford, and a 1959 Lincoln.

Fish & Game needs volunteers Now active again, club needs help for in person events BY JOHN MATHER The Lamont Fish and Game Association are hosting in person events again following a twoyear pandemic absence and now they need some volunteers to help out. In her latest email to members, secretary Joan Dey reports the club is holding a birdhouse building event during the Bruderheim Garden Show on June 18 and at least four volunteers are needed. In addition the association needs some volun-
teers to help out at the Kids can Catch event at the Lamont Trout Pond on June 25. The association is looking for about three or four volunteers to help show youth how to fish at the pond and practice safety on the shore edge. Kids can register for the event at https://www.ab-conservation.com/events/k ids-can-catch/kids-cancatch-lamont/ On July 9 and 10, the association will be holding a birdhouse building event at the Summer
Sizzler Rodeo in Lamont and a few volunteers are needed for each day. Also, looking ahead, the Fish and Game group is looking for some volunteers to step up to help out at the Jan. 28, 2023 banquet. Four to six additional volunteers are needed. Hunters are also asked to consider donating some of their meat for the banquet since it does rely on hunter donations. Contact Robyn Butler for more information.

FROM WHERE I SIT: The Gift of Time
BY HAZEL ANAKA In 2014, Russian psychologist Pavel Piskarev coined the term Neurographica. He believes that because this drawing technique links the conscious with the subconscious, it has the power to transform the world. He’s trademarked the concept and commercialized its use. But, like every other thing in the world, it’s fair game for interpretation, modification, improvement, and as a jumping off point. It is touted as a healing practice for creating calm and working through emotional and other issues. It is meditative. The results I’ve seen are gorgeous. And while I haven’t tried it myself, I do regularly doodle and create mindful drawings. There is an inexplicable calm and
serenity that results, especially if you can let go of expectations and self-criticism. If you have a specific problem to address like anger issues, it may be good to think about your intention before beginning. Or you can simply enjoy the relaxation aspect of the drawing process and let whatever happens happen. The way I’ve seen it demonstrated is this. Begin with a heavier piece of drawing paper and a black permanent non-water-based marker like a Sharpie. You’ll probably also want a few more coloured markers and maybe some acrylic or water colour paint. And please don’t get hung up on the supplies and assume you don’t have what you need and must rush out to pay an arm and a leg to buy spe-
cial stuff. Back to what I’ve seen. Make a series of curvy flowing lines including swirls and loops across the paper with each end of the line touching the paper’s edge. As you fill the page, you create intersections where the lines cross. The next step is to round out the four sides of every intersection by filling in each area with a black marker…just enough to soften the corners. You also may choose to thicken some of your lines for aesthetic purposes. At this stage the drawing resembles the neurons in our brains. By the way, I discovered there are only 86 billion neurons in the average brain. In a nutshell, through electrical impulses and chemical signals they convey information between different areas

of the brain and between the brain and the nervous system. Isn’t that simple and easy to understand? Hell no. But I don’t need to understand the science behind a telephone call, or how microwaves cook food, or why the Oilers didn’t win the last three games to use and benefit from them. While these black ink on white paper designs are strikingly beautiful, many people choose to add colour to the shapes resulting from all the crossed lines. When
adding a wet medium like watercolour, it’s important that the original marker is permanent; otherwise, the lines will bleed. By adding colour, a uniquely you piece of art will result. But that is not the goal; it’s just a happy by-product of the process. Here's what I think. Any time we take our eyes off the TV and our fingers off our phones, we are primed for something special. We slow down and get drawn into a creative process. Breathing slows, blood

Opinion Federal energy policy failing and Trudeau doesn’t care BY JOHN MATHER We’ve known for several years our energy industry is under assault from the green environmental movement and somehow it has put the Liberal government into its pockets and the end result is Justin Trudeau’s assault on Alberta’s energy sector under the thin veneer of his “great reset.” But the “great reset” is more than Justin. It’s actually Justin copying a worldwide trend. A recent report by the Fraser Institute, however, points out the folly of falling in the “great reset,” and abandoning the reliance on the oil and gas industry. The report points to Europe which had pretty much done this through poorly thought-out energy policies in their attempts to be green and they are now paying the price. The report points to the Germans who mandated the phase-out of coal-fired and nuclear electricity generation and accelerated the transition to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. But given the intermittent nature of renewables, transitioning to renewables actually made the region’s power market highly dependent on natural gas as a back-up supplier in times of high electricity demand. Not only did this increase the price of natural gas, it also made the continent dependent on Russia as a natural gas supplier. Not surprisingly, higher natural gas prices have in turn increased electricity prices for most Europeans. The study finds that the Canadian federal government, and many European countries and the European Union are pursuing similarly aggressive climate policies that have largely contributed to energy prices skyrocketing in Europe. For example, the report states, in July 2021, natural gas prices were 670 per cent higher in Europe than just one year before, and from 2020 to 2021 electricity prices soared to record levels in Europe, rising more than 200 per cent in Germany, the UK, Spain, and France; and more than 450 per cent in the Nordic region. Our federal government has also mandated the phaseout of coal-fired electricity generation and accelerated a transition to renewables to support its target to achieve 90 per cent of non-emitting electricity generation by 2030. What’s more, Canada is increasing the federal carbon tax to $170 per tonne by 2030, while the European Union Emission Trading System allowance price – essentially, Europe’s carbon price – has also increased recently to roughly $110 per tonne. “The policies enacted in Europe that helped create the current energy crisis are the same policies that the Canadian federal government is pursuing,” said Elmira Aliakbari, Director of Energy studies at the Fraser Institute and study co-author. CONTINUED
CONTINUED “The results will be the same – higher energy prices, higher costs of living, and lower economic growth.” At the same time this report was released, Gwyn Morgan, a retired business leader and former head of several oil and gas companies, penned an article in the National Post stating it is pure fantasy that 84 per cent of global energy supplied by oil and gas can be replaced by the so called green energy. Morgan writes that “sharing his antioil zealotry seems to be a necessary qualification for Mr. Trudeau’s cabinet.” He points out that when Premier Jason Kenney travelled to Washington recently to address the Senate Energy Committee he presented plans to increase Canadian oil exports, thereby freeing-up more U.S. oil to help Europe reduce Russian oil purchases. The idea Morgan wrote “received a warm reception.” “Unfortunately, Kenney’s message was promptly contradicted by Canada’s Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, who told the same committee that shifting to renewables and hydrogen ‘will
provide true energy and national security to Europe.’ In other words, don’t count on Canada to help de-fund Putin’s murderous war unless it lasts five or ten more years.” Morgan then went to present five solid reasons that Trudeau's green reset just won’t work. They include high cost, revenue needs, grid stress, land demand and more emissions not fewer. Reading these two reports would indicate to anyone with a modicum of common sense, that living in a country with one of the largest reserves of oil and gas, and being that ethically sourced, we should be marketing our product to the world rather than leaving it in the ground. We shouldn’t stop studying and working towards reliable supplies and reliable methods to use alternative energy sources, but Trudeau is killing his own country economically with his disastrous policies. Maybe this doesn’t show in Ontario where a big trip is considered anything more than ten miles. But in the west where the population isn’t as dense and the distance between communities is great the Liberal policies are tearing at the very fabric of our confederation.

Pancake breakfast raises $12,000 for Ukrainian relief efforts
BY JOHN MATHER The pancake breakfast to raise money for Ukrainian Humanitarian
Relief did its job by not only feeding more than 400 people June 4, but it raised more than $12,000
for Ukrainian Humanitarian Aid. “It raised $12,201,” said former Premier Ed Stelmach. The money raised is being sent through his Ed Stelmach Foundation bank and is then distributed for humanitarian relief efforts around this area from Fort Saskatchewan to Vegreville. “It was a better result than I expected,” he said. The event was put on by the Town of Lamont,
County of Lamont, and the Fort Saskatchewan and District Chamber of Commerce. The cost of the actual food was sponsored by Cenovus. “It’s really good,” said Stelmach. “Because it means we have that much more money now for emergency needs for the Ukrainian evacuees.” He said it allows them to provide for any small emergencies which may crop up. Stelmach said Rudy Warawa is helping co-
ordinate the Ukrainian Relief efforts in both Mundare and Vegreville while Sandy Homeniuk also works with the Vegreville group gathering furniture and other items the refugees will need to live. Stelmach added volunteers from Vegreville hit the community garage sales held throughout Lamont County on June 4 and picked up chairs and dishes and other “odds and ends” the families needed to be

Andrew eyeing investigation BY JANA SEMENIUK The Village of Andrew interim CAO Steve Upham is looking into the benefits of a Municipal Affairs Investigation into the Village as directed by the council during their June 1 meeting. A discussion in closed session resulted in the motion being passed unanimously in open session. “The motion is to request our CAO to investigate the benefits of a municipal investigation and report back to us,” said Deputy Mayor Merwin Haight. Upham said the council’s decision to look into a municipal affairs investigation was made in an effort for transparency. “There was some thought that it would dispel rumors. Speculation is part of living in a small town,” he said. Historically, an attempt was made seven years ago to initiate an investigation into the Village of Andrew, according to Scott Johnson, press secretary for the Office of Municipal Affairs. “Alberta Municipal Affairs received a petition in 2015 requesting an inquiry under Section 572(1) of the Municipal Government Act for the Village of Andrew. However, due to insufficient valid signatures on the petition, it was deemed invalid, and no inspection was undertaken, “ he said by email. The Lamont Leader reported at the time the petition was brought forward by then resident Sheila Lupul, who has since become a former Andrew council member and former Andrew CAO. Upham said he will
report to council, during the June 8 special meeting, his findings around a possible investigation.

Andrew councillor keeps his seat amid call to resign BY JANA SEMENIUK Andrew Deputy Mayor Merwin Haight will remain on the Village Council after a challenge for his resignation, due to alleged ineligibility for nomination during the Oct. election, was investigated and dismissed. Haight was asked to resign during the May 25 council meeting by resident Chris Lupul, husband of former Chief Administrative Officer Sheila Lupul, amid allegations he was not eligible for nomination in the last election due to owing personal property taxes. A closed session of Village Council June 1 resulted in a statement read by Councillor Tammy Pickett while Haight sat with nine residents present to view
the meeting. “After an internal investigation reviewing the banking information pertinent to this issue, we accept the fact there was no malicious intent or deliberate refusal to make full payment of the remaining balance. It was paid in full as soon as the admin forwarded him the remaining balance. The returning officer assured him there was no issue with his eligibility upon the full payment of the outstanding balance,” she read. A motion to refuse the forced resignation of Haight was unanimously approved. Pickett then gestured to Haight’s empty chair. “Get back over here!” she said smiling, while audience members laughed. Supporters of Haight
shook his hand during a recess and congratulated him on keeping his council seat. Haight said it was a lack of communication that resulted in his late property tax payment. “I’m elated how it’s gone through. I was confident that what I did was proper, and I wasn’t being misleading to anyone in any way,” he said. “This isn’t a unique situation. Things aren’t run as smoothly in small towns due to lack of staff.” Meanwhile, a byelection date has been set for Aug. 8 to replace long time councillor Osama Hamed who resigned during the May 25 council meeting. Andrew’s next special meeting of Village Council is slated for June 8 at 7 p.m.
Former Andrew CAO denied payment request BY JANA SEMENIUK Village of Andrew Council voted against a payment request by former Chief Administrative Officer Sheila Lupul’s lawyer as per a motion coming out of its closed session June 1. The motion was read by Councillor Benny Dubitz as ‘refusal of payment as demanded by opposing legal Proskiw Law’. Interim CAO Steve Upham clarified the
motion during a later phone interview. “The request was for a settlement that went beyond what was allowed for in her contract. So, we're going to send a letter back, alerting the legal to how it differs from what's allowed in her contract with a revised number,” he said. “It’s not a suit, just a letter from her lawyer.” Upham said he could not go into details
around how the amount requested was different from the contract. “Although the CAO salary is public knowledge, the terms of this discussion are not public knowledge until they're settled,” he said. Lupul was dismissed from her position as CAO on May 11 after 10 weeks. The Village of Andrew CAO is budgeted to be paid $66 000 plus benefits annually.

Liberals fail again with handguns proposal - MP BY JOHN MATHER Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs, also the current Shadow Minister for Rural Economic Development and Broadband is not impressed by the latest Liberal ruling on Canadian gun laws - this time suggesting a freeze on handgun ownership in the country. “This Liberal government always makes a big show about cracking down on gun violence whenever there is a mass shooting tragedy in either the United States or, more rarely but no less urgent and heart breaking, in Canada - but their policies won’t actually make the streets and communities safer for Canadians,” said Stubbs. “The current Bill C-21 is a lot like the old one. It targets law-abiding firearms owners, collectors, and retailers while failing to combat the cause of most gun
crime in Canada: criminals and gangs with illegally smuggled guns. Today’s so-called freeze on handgun ownership is truly a wasteful and ineffective “guns for gangs only” approach that punishes already legal, law abiding firearms owners, and won’t stop criminals and gangsters who already break the laws, and aren’t worried about lawfully following rules or filing paperwork.” Stubbs added the federal Conservatives are committed to actually strengthen and secure public safety through real action to tackle gun crime head-on. Conservatives, she stated, have always urged increased funding and coordination for border security to clamp down on illegal firearms smuggling, and continue to call for mandatory minimum penalties to keep violent gang members off the
street, and to focus on gangs and criminals by ending automatic bail, revoking parole for gang members, and new and tougher sentences for ordering or involvement in violent gang crime. “The reality is that gun crime and shootings are up in Canada under the Liberals,” added Stubbs. “But, incredibly, right now, the Liberals are also pushing through legislation that will eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for dangerous criminals convicted of a wide range of violent gun crimes like robbery, extortion, trafficking and discharging with intent. “A core responsibility of the government is to protect public safety, and Canadians everywhere, especially in big cities where gun smuggling and crimes are on the rise, should rightfully expect government action, but this Liberal approach is backwards.”

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, June 8, 2022 - 19
NEIGHBOURLY Residents of Lamont’s Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge made a presentation of a Buffalo puzzle to staff from Elk Island National Park as a thank you for being great neighbours. Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge residents Ernie Letwin and Gary Stead made the presentation. Pictured are Jana Cornic, Sherri Fownes, Ernie Letwin, Dale Kirkland and Gary Stead.
No RSVP required for Lamont County Open House A recent article in the Leader suggested an RSVP was necessary to attend the June 21 Lamont County annual open house. The open house which takes place at the Lamont Arena from 6 to 9 p.m. is open to any County resident and an RSVP is not necessary.
The open house will allow residents to ask questions and engage with councillors directly. The format this year is a one-hour moderated question and answer session, followed by two hours of direct engagement with County councillors – allowing the public opportunity to
ask questions and receive clarification related directly to the six strategic goals as identified in the 2030 StrategicPlan. The County assessor (Accurate Assessment Group Ltd.) will also be onsite to discuss assessment questions related to taxation assessments.
Breakfast for Ukraine
Europe.” He said criminal gangs are stealing the C-cans and recently two containers filled with food, not shipped from Edmonton, were hijacked and the food was later sold in both Germany and Italy. “There’s a lot of different circumstances the volunteers in Europe are having to overcome.” He added he’s finding the western media is becoming more complacent as the war stretches beyond 100 days. “People are getting kind of used to the horror,” he said. “But that was in March and people were still inside. Now it’s summer and they’re outside more. Plus there was the shooting in Texas and the monkeypox… it all is
detracting from the Ukrainian invasion by Russia.” He said the Ukrainian supporters in Lamont and Canada have to keep the story on top of their conversations. “You know some of the world leaders are now saying we have to give Putin some sort of a win,” he said. “That’s really weird where somebody commits a crime so do you punish them or give them some way out if it? I just don’t follow that. It’s wrong.” Stelmach added that some of the refugees coming into this area are finding work at area meat processors. He said one of the biggest concerns right now is getting driver’s licences fairly quickly for the refugees.
Continued from Page 8 Stelmach said that the groups are expecting a large number of refugees in the Edmonton area in the next week or so. He said a flight which landed with more than 200 refugee families in Halifax last week, about 100 of those want to carry on to Edmonton. Stelmach is still working with former deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk in sending humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian from Canada. “We’re sending a few C-cans now,” he said. “But now some of them are running into trouble when they arrive in

Right of Way Safety, Summer Operations and Equipment Safety It is important to remember to share the roads in Lamont County. Right-of-Ways may have industrial, maintenance and farm equipment on the road, and there are specific bylaws related to equipment on the roads, proper access and blocking prevention, as well as procedures for traffic flow and road sharing. Right of way’s must be followed, and farming and other equipment must adhere to traffic bylaws and allow others to pass. With school ending for summer, there may be children playing or walking around Lamont County roads. Make sure you use caution when passing individuals on the sides of roads. Be aware of larger equipment on the roads and maintain a safe distance (when driving, walking or while vehicles are parked). During summer months, Public Works has planned maintenance and installations related to gravelling, road and culvert maintenance. This means some roads may be closed periodically as imperative work is completed in efforts to extend the lifespan of infrastructure. We ask for your patience with road closures, as Public Works is hard at work to efficiently complete its programs. Please drive slowly around equipment and obey all construction signage. Updates on road closures can be accessed on the Lamont County website or our Facebook and Twitter posts. If you have questions related to the summer programs, complete a service request at lamontcounty.ca/service-requests. Agricultural Services completes multiple roadside activities, including some brushwork, grass mowing and weed maintenance/removal. Be aware of signs posted and use caution when passing work machinery. Take necessary safety precautions when passing this equipment.
