Lamont-based cowboy Josh Birks wins Bull-A-Rama Miichelle Pinon Editor

Lamont-based cowboy Josh Birks had his game face on, and managed to earn the most points to win the title of Bull-A-Rama Supreme 2015 champion on Saturday, April 25.

“I was just happy to win,” said Birks, who was up against 23 of the top bullriders and bulls Canada has to offer. Enjoying the thrilling ride were approximately 1,400 fans who crammed into the area last Saturday night.

Birks, who appeared exhausted, but elated after receiving his buckle, said it was a great pen of bulls, two of which he was awarded re-rides on, that made for a thrilling fight to the finish.

A handful of cowboy fans were able to get their hats personally autographed

by Josh Birks and photo taken with him after the competition.

While Birks admitted the experience was “pretty draining” he was excited to be able to claim the title and belt buckle. He says most of his winnings are reinvested in the Josh Birks Bullriding Development Scholarship. Cowboys from all over the world can apply for the scholarship, and the native Australian is proud to be able to encourage the young riders and promote the sport of bullriding. “Last year alone we gave away $5,000 in scholarships,” added Birks.

brate the rich history of our community. The area around Bruderheim was settled in the late 1800s by a colony of German-speaking immigrants,” explains Bruderheim Mayor, Karl Hauch. “The town’s name is derived from two German words: “Bruder” meaning brother, and “heim” meaning home.

In English, it translates to “Home of the Brethren”.

We feel that linking our heritage with the noble exercise of fundraising for our hockey rink is a fabulous idea.”

“Babysitting is available for those couples with children that would like a night out,” adds Hauch.

Former councillor ready to tackle MLA position Michelle Pinon Editor Wildrose candidate Joe Gosselin made his first trip to Lamont last Thursday to campaign door-to-door and have the opportunity to hear from local residents.

The Parkview Restaurant was one of the places he visited during his meet and greet tour as well as several residential areas in town.

Gosselin said his stop was a “positive� trip.

As far as what voters had to say, Gosselin said “Some voters clearly identify the Wildrose, but far more voters identify with the need for change.� Gosselin said some of those voters have a vested interest in keeping the status quo, especially if they had been on the receiving end of grant funding.

Gosselin said it’s sort of like the don’t bite the

hand that feeds you philosophy. He said one business owner, who was supportive of him and the Wildrose, said they didn’t want to put up one of his signs because they can’t be seen as supporting one particular party.

However, their were other Wildrose supporters who requested signs, and told Gosselin they appreciated him campaigning in Lamont.

Gosselin did want to address the “elephant in the room�; referring to the fact that he resides outside of the constituency, but is running for a seat in the constituency. Gosselin said many people commute to other towns and cities for work, and this should be no different. Gosselin said whether he lives here or not, will not have any impact on his effectiveness to do the job or his work ethic. The former councillor for the

Town of Morinville, said 10/10 MSI Plan would he would work just as also include a doubled hard to represent the waste and wastewater interest of voters in For grant of $110 million.

Opinion Election 2015 - Diversifying our energy sector As Albertans go to the polls on May 5th, there are several critical topics that will set the course for future generations.

Alberta’s reliance on traditional oil and gas royalties has created economic turbulence. We now find ourselves with

Wayne Woldanski

the challenge of a slower economy and difficulty in maintaining a balanced budget.

Diversification is one solution, as this creates new economic opportunities and government revenues. One way to diversify the energy sector is by turning our raw resources into highervalue products. Value added energy processing can smooth out the industry’s volatile boom and bust cycles and help diversify our overall economic portfolio.

Increased development in petrochemicals, refining, and upgrading is a natural fit for Alberta. It builds on our existing strengths including our well

trained workforce, established infrastructure, and presence of many global industrial companies.

More value added development, however, needs a clear vision from government backed by appropriate strategies and programs. Alberta has a record of success in applying the right strategies at the right time to provide an overall net benefit to the province.

Former Premier Peter Lougheed’s vision resulted in the development of the modern petrochemical industry in Alberta that has become a significant contributor to our economy.

Following up on this vision, recent programs

Kerry Anderson Publisher

focused on ethane have generated over $3.5 billion in new investments in Alberta.

With the recent downturn in the upstream side of the energy sector, these and other value added projects are providing an opportunity to sustain our economy, maintain skilled employment, and preserve the manufacturing base we have worked hard to develop over the last decade.

Diversifying our economy by building on our natural resource strengths makes sense. It must be a key part of any long term sustainable plan for Alberta. It will provide significant new sources of government

Michelle Pinon Editor

revenue, create economic and employment opportunities for our youth, as well as help meet the challenge of climate change with real and proven reductions in emissions. Creating markets here at home for our energy products also helps avoid the problems of relying on outside jurisdictions to make decisions on the transportation and sale of our resources We have a real opportunity to build upon our success and achieve the future that we all envision. Alberta’s abundant, cheap natural gas and propane provide a key advantage. Combine this with the right government policies, and we

Tracy Harding Office Manager/ Ad Composition

could realize a significant expansion of the petrochemical industry.

Ultimately, this generates long-term government revenues and high paying, stable jobs for Albertans.

During this election campaign, we encourage all political parties and Albertans to get engaged. Ask the important questions on diversification and adding value to our resources as a strategic part of Alberta’s future.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - 5

Sun may set on existing Lamont New Horizons Senior Centre Housing proposal includes demolition of current facility Michelle Pinon Editor

Joe Zazula is a longtime member of the New Horizons Senior Centre in Lamont, and he is opposed to a proposal that would see the facility demolished to make room for more seniors housing in the community.

Zazula, Vice-president of the seniors board, said he was one of only two members who opposed a recent motion in favour of having a new facility built as an addition to Beaverhill Lodge in exchange for their current facility. Zazula said there were about 20 people in attendance at the April 16th annual general meeting when the vote was taken.

Zazula said he didn’t think the meeting was the proper way to decide

whether to dispose of the facility or not. “I feel it was built by seniors and the town donated a lot of money to it over the years.” He also feels local residents should have been made aware, and have had a say in the matter. “I wonder if council is aware of this?”

He also wonders what residents of Beaverhill Lodge think about the proposal, that would also include co-use of some of that facility for social functions and meetings.

As far as equity in the existing seniors centre, Zazula believes there is a considerable amount that has been built up over the years, and that should also be taken into account. “If there was a trade, it wouldn’t be a fair one,” added Zazula.

In terms of who owns the land, about one acre

in total, Zazula said it belongs to the town.

Another point Zazula makes, is that many of the members of the seniors centre are in their seventies and eighties, and if they agree to the addition, they may not be around to see it come to fruition.

As the saying goes, “You don’t realize what you’re losing till it’s gone,” stated Zazula.

Even though it may appear like this is a done deal, Zazula said he came to the newspaper because he wants people in the community to be aware of what is happening with the seniors centre.

Marvin Eleniak, President of the seniors board, did verify that the proposal would call for the demolition of the seniors centre, as well as construction of an addi-

tion to the Beaverhill Lodge that would include two floor curling sheets as well as kitchenette and storage.

Eleniak added that members would also have access to other space within in the lodge if needed. Eleniak said the seniors board would not have to pay for rent in the new facility, but would have to negotiate the cost of utilities.

Eleniak also pointed out that 18 members voted for the proposal

and two members voted against the proposal.

Land on which the seniors centre is located was donated to the seniors centre by the Town of Lamont in the ‘70’s.

Currently the seniors centre has 27 members, and Eleniak said there aren’t enough members or rentals to offset operating expenses. In 2014, Eleniak said the seniors centre operated at a $10,000 loss. Eleniak said this proposal is good for the community and

good for the seniors club members.

As far as the proposal, no details were forthcoming at this time. Bill Skinner, chairman of the Lamont County Housing Foundation, told The Lamont Leader: “Plans for construction of the new lodge have not yet been finalized. The housing foundation will prepare a media release as soon as we are able to release the details.”

Bruderheim rancher ready to saddle up for cancer fundraiser Michelle Pinon Editor

Bruderheim rancher Len Hodgson was born in the saddle, and he will be one of many horse lovers who will be riding for a cure for cancer on Saturday, May 9th.

This will be the 36th time Hodgson will be participating in Trail Ride Against Cancer which is sponsored by The MICHELLE PINON PHOTO Alberta Trail Len Hodgson of Aquarius Ranch Riding Assocwill be taking his horse Joker on iation (ATRA). the Trail Ride Against Cancer.

In fact,

Hodgson hosted the event for about 30 of those years before a fire near his property prompted organizers to find an alternate starting point and host site near Bon Accord for the trail ride. “We ride between 15 and 25 miles that day,� says Hodgson, who is accepting pledges at the Chipman Market and online. In any given year anywhere between 85 to 365 riders participate in the event. On average between $30,000 to $40,000 is raised for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS).

Over the years Hodgson has met a lot of riders, and looks forward to meeting up with them again. “It’s a bit of a reunion,� says Hodgson. Besides doing what he loves to do, Hodgson gets the chance to help out the charitable organization. Every donation brings the Canadian Cancer Society closer to preventing cancer, earlier detection, and improving treatments so Canadians can live longer, healthier lives.

According to the

Canadian Cancer Society, survival rates have gone from 25 per cent in the 1940’s to over 60 per cent today.

Back in 2011 ATRA was nominated for a national philanthropy award for being the longest running, independent fundraising group for the Edmonton unit of the CCS. In 2014 ATRA received the Community Champion Award at a provincial Celebration of Impact Ceremony in Calgary. To date, ATRA has raised a total of $1,229,775 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Hodgson says it’s his job to keep riders safe on the trail, but he does so much more as well, to help fight cancer.

Littlewoood said it was her first visit to Lamont and it is her first time running for political office. As far as what she was hearing from voters? “That they feel disconnected, and want to make a difference.”

Littlewood said people here want to know their candidate has the commitment, and will meet with them face to face. “People feel like the smaller areas don’t get the same attention as larger areas, and that’s why I’m out here.”

Littlewoood said she is in the midst of planning a riding tour throughout the constituency on Saturday, May 2nd, and is hoping to hear from many more constituents at that time.

“I decided to run in order to fight for people like myself and my family. To stop the PC’s from doing more damage to our healthcare and education by not properly investing in this province’s infrastructure.”

Littlewood went on to say, “I am running for a seat in Fort Saskatcxhewan-Vegreville because we have so many hardworking Albertans’ that need a strong voice in the Legislature that will fight for their needs, both in urban and rural situations. My husband is from the Fort, and his family works in our Industrial

Heartland, and so I think of them while I fight for this seat.”

In terms of what the Edmonton resident has to offer voters? She replies, “My family, and my province, taught me a strong work ethic. I worked in seniors’ long-term care on the front line, spent many years working for a non-profit agency, and currently work in a corporate office, so I know the many challenges that Albertans’ face.”

She is running under the NDP banner because she believes: “Rachel Notley and the NDP are Junior High & Senior High Information Nights the only ones that have a clear view of the future and what Alberta needs to Do you have a child starting Junior High or Senior High this fall? start doing today in order If so, we invite you to attend our Information Night for incoming to secure that future.

16 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, April 28, 2015

Lamont resident runs under Green Party in hopes of winning For Saskatchewan-Vegreville Constituency Michelle Pinon Editor

Green Party candidate Allison Anderson is also a newbie to the political process. “This is the first time I have run for political office, although I do have experience serving on various local boards in the area over the past 15 years,” stated the Lamont resident, who has served on the Josephberg Agricultural Society, Smoky Lake School of Dance, and the Mundare 341 Air Cadet Squadron.

“My decision to run for election was based on dissatisfaction with how opaque the provincial and federal governments have become in recent years. Too many decisions seem to be made behind closed doors to the detriment of public accountability.”

Anderson feels that “true representation” of constituents has been replaced with what she calls partisan agendas and whipped votes. The reason she became a member of the Green Party was largely due to the efforts of Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. “When I asked myself what more could I do about the current state of politics beyond exercising my right to vote, I decided that running as a Green Party candidate afforded me a great opportunity to have discussions with a variety of citizens about the values that many Albertans hold dear. Specifically for me, the six principles of the Green Party that guide policy statements and decision making align with my values and ethics as a registered social worker and are not easily described as left or

right on the political spectrum.”

Anderson went on to say that she wants to see government transparency. Economic stability includes developing alternative sectors and renewables, as well as stewardship that considers sustainable resource development and the intrinsic value of the environment and all of its inhabitants. “I am committed to serious deliberation and consensus seeking from all voices within the riding in order to promote human values balanced with economic concerns. I would like to see a diversified economy that benefits not just the few but the many; not just the urban but the rural as well.

I have a great interest in exploring ways to revitalize communities while supporting the

sustainability of already vibrant communities.

Although diverse in nature, the riding of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville has a cooperative heart where multiple stakeholders have worked together to preserve quality of life while creating job opportunities and other economic benefits.”

Anderson would also like to support the various communities in building on this strong foundation, and create a sustainable future for all members of this constituency. “To this end, I would like to find a way to bring more health and human services to the rural areas. What that would look like, of course, would depend on the availability and configuration of funding, personnel, and other resources. Perhaps more mobile services would

Anderson would like to see m o r e y o u t h conferences supported by government in a variety of a r e a s including: arts, education, politics, health, etc. “Early engagement of youth is the simplest way to grow active, PHOTO COURTESY OF ANDREW SCHOOL e n g a g e d Green Party Candidate Allison Anderson adult citi- visited Andrew School recently, and outzens who lined her platform to students. are pre-

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - 19

MA has yet to receive resident’s petition Michelle Pinon Editor

Nearly three months after a petition was launched requesting Municipal Affairs to conduct an independent review of the Village of Andrew no action has been taken.

An official with Municipal Affairs (MA) did some checking as

requested by The Lamont Leader, and confirmed that it has yet to receive a petition for an official review from the residents of Andrew.

Jerry Ward, a public affairs officer with MA stated on April 24th, “I understand from one of our program staff that he has spoken with a couple of residents from Andrew, and directed

them to the petitions document on our website, however, we have not heard anything further on this matter.”

Back in late January, Andrew resident Sheila Lupul began canvassing fellow residents (electors) in the Village of Andrew. During a Jan. 31 interview, Lupul, stated she had gathered around 100 signatures, and

planned to gather more signatures in the coming weeks in order to reach the necessary quota (20 per cent of the population).

Several attempts to reach Lupul in recent weeks have been unsuccessful. Messages that were left for Lupul asking for comment were not returned.
