Lamont County hosts planning session in Andrew Michelle Pinon Editor

Terry Levicki is a man with a plan. And the Andrew area resident shared his vision for Mallard Lake Park during the strategic planning session at the Andrew Community Centre along with 15 other participants. On a side table Levicki had a large scale drawing of his plan that would encompass 69 acres just west of the community between Township Road 565 and Range Road 165. Mallard Lake Park would be a year round multi-use recreation area with summer and winter activities and events. Some of the activities included in his plan are: camping, fishing, walking and bike trails, community garden, racing oval, rodeo grounds, snowboarding and tobogganing, skating rink, etc. Reeve Wayne Woldanksi welcomed the crowd, and introduced special guest Ed Stelmach before participants broke out into groups to brainstorm ideas. He went on to say that it had been many years since Lamont County had updated its Strategic Plan, and would welcome their ideas and input. Ed Stelmach said it was nice to see lots of familiar faces, including former Mayor and current town councillor Eldon Feniak. Current

Mayor Heather Tait and Chief Administrative Officer Pat Skoreyko were also on hand to participate in the planning session. “It’s a very important process, and I commend the county on its strategic planning process,” said Stelmach. He stressed the importance of setting direction and strategies, and holding administration as well as council accountable for their decisions. Stelmach went on to say that the environment has changed economically and politically, “more than anyone ever thought” and that several new initiatives like the new Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)

Ed Stelmach between Canada and the European Union would have far reaching impact and implications as well as the Carbon Tax. Stelmach expressed his concern about the federal and provincial government having no plan for future debt retirement and what affect that will have on families as well as businesses. He told

the crowd you have to examine what this all means to you as a county, a town, and as a resident. As a municipality, Lamont County will have to see what room is left after all the out of pocket expenses are paid, and what is left over to set budgets, mill rate and accomplish their goals. Stelmach cautioned then in regards to social programs as they are federal and provincial responsibilities and just stick to the basics. He encouraged participants to put everything on the table. “We don’t have answers…We want and need your help to move us forward,” stated Chief Administrative Officer Robyn Singleton. “We want and need your help to move us forward.” Karen Doyle, a Community Development Officer (Northern Region) with Alberta Culture, introduced her management team and briefly explained the facilitation process. “We want the ideas to come from you.” She encouraged participants to focus on the future so they would be able to flesh out their ideas, provide a framework, and marry the information together. The key question that was put to participants: “What kind of community would you like for yourself, for your children and your grandchildren in 2030? To that end, some of the ideas generated from partici-

reutilization and recycling, transportation availability and access to all services, more industry who are environmentally responsible, coordination of event throughout the year in the county, unnecessary duplication of services, aging in place facility with affordable housing

for young adults through to senior citizens, etc. The next Strategic Planning Session will be held on Nov. 17 in St. Michael. The other public consultation sessions will be held in Bruderheim on Nov. 30, in Mundare on Dec. 1, and in Chipman on Dec. 7.

Mundare town council is hoping residents will weigh in on the issue of recreational trailers in the coming weeks. At the Nov. 1 meeting, council voted in favour of sending out a letter to residents as there are a number of concerns about recreational trailers parked on both the street and empty lots, primarily in the Whitetail Crossing subdivision. Some of those concerns that are noted in the letter include: •aesthetics •damage to boulevards and green spaces •damage to lots, making ruts etc., which affects the ability to keep weeds and grass under control

The Town of Mundare is asking residents for input on parking of recreational trailers. This photo was taken in the subdivision of Whitetail Crossing last week. •snow removal in the winter •people staying in the vehicles when parked on the road or empty lots, slideouts open •a traffic hazard due to narrow streets Some of the potential options that were identified include: •no parking recreational vehicles on empty lots

•parking in driveways only during the summer, and they must be moved to storage for the winter between November 1 and April 30. •on street parking limit of 72 hours, after which, the recreational vehicle must be moved for at least 48 hours. The letter also stated: “Currently, our land use bylaw does allow a

recreational vehicle to be parked in a front yard if it is located on a driveway, however, they cannot be parked on an empty lot. The town has not been enforcing this regulation.” Residents have until December 2 to forward any comments, concerns and/or suggestions to the Town of Mundare.

Unanimous consent for Alberta’s Ukrainian-Canadian Heritage Day Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County Deputy Reeve Dan Warawa was on hand for the passing of the Ukrainian-Canadian Heritage Day Act in the Legislature on Wednesday, November 2. Warawa was one of only a handful of special guests of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood who sat in the public gallery to witness the historic event. Warawa said it was very interesting as nearly all 70 MLA’s spoke on Bill 26 for the better part of the day. He added that the majority of the MLA’s are of Ukrainian descent, and many talked about their ancestors during the proceedings. Bill 26, the Ukrainian-Canadian Heritage Act, is only the fifth bill in Alberta’s history to pass with unanimous consent in a single day. The legislation officially recognizes the enduring contributions of Albertans of Ukrainian heritage to the province. The Act states that starting in 2017, September 7 of each year shall be known as “Alberta’s UkrainianCanadian Heritage Day. The date was chosen to honour the first officially recorded Ukrainian immigrants Ivan Pylypiw and Vasyl Eleniak, who arrived in Canada on September 7, 1891. The declaration, added Warawa, would mean a lot to the older generation who had to endure many hardships while settling their land. He said the Act is a sign of respect to those of Ukrainian descent. Former Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach said he was

Deron Bilous, Minister of Economic Development and Trade stated: “Our ancestor’s journey to Alberta was often one of sacrifice and uncertainty. They overcame incredible hardships, and this is a way to hon-

our them for generations to come. From agriculture and industry, to politics, academia and culture, they and their descendants helped build this province. I am so proud every one of my colleagues supported the call to celebrate the Ukrainian community’s tremendous contributions.” Bill 26 was sponsored by MLA Littlewood. Back on August 9, Lamont County council proclaimed September 2016-2017 to Lamont County Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Year.

Opinion Letters to the Editor

Petition closure! I am puzzled by the recent announcement to close the Immigration Case Processing Center in December of 2018. This seems to run against some of the Liberal Party’s main objectives! Reading the summary of their election platform below, it is obvious that we will see efforts to reduce green-house gas emissions. “The Liberals favour national targets to curb greenhouse-gas emissions. The Liberals have pledged that they would spend $20-billion over 10 years on “greener infrastructure,” and issue Green Bonds to fund environmentally friendly energy projects. Justin Trudeau has vowed to set national targets, but allow provinces to design their own emissions-reduction systems, and pledged $2-billion for the Low Carbon Economy Trust, which will give funding to projects that reduce carbon emissions.” [...taken from the Globe and Mail] Why would this federal government then take steps to move an established government office to Edmonton and force current employees to begin driving to Edmonton in order to keep their jobs? How will this begin to curb green-house gas emissions? Also, those that move to Edmonton will simply add to the number of people already living there with the subsequent demand for new homes creating more emissions and more Urban Sprawl. Certainly these issues are not going to help meet government national targets. Obviously, we all need to join in the campaign to fight this move, and the best way is to flood the office of the Minister of Immigration with a continuous (weekly) letter of protest. Do visit the Town of Vegreville’s website to get the correct address and to join in support of the 200+ families that will be directly affected. Also, the business community in the Vegreville area currently enjoys ~$10,000,000 in spending by those that work at the Case Processing Center. What happens when these families move or commute and buy groceries in Edmonton before driving home? Justin Trudeau often spoke about an open and transparent government that would make correct decisions “after a fulsome and responsible discussion.” Discussions include “listening” by both sides so the Staff making this decision will need to “hear” a prolonged protest. In addition, a major campaign document was aimed at supporting a STRONG MIDDLE CLASS. How will these families and this community be strong with this mis-directed decision? Lets think of ways to build a case for keeping the Centre here! Charlie Gargus

Broken hearted mom speaks out I have an issue with some of the residents in the Town of Mundare on the night of October 31. My 13 year old daughter who has mental disorders, and of course, is special needs (developmentally 6) loves to wear costumes and be around other kids, was so excited about trick or treating with her older friend, (who is also special needs), and by the way

was her first time ever treat or treating and with the attitude of so many Mundare homes it will be her last for sure. Many grumpy faces as they looked how tall the girls are, mean glares at them as they reluctantly gave them a candy, there were many comments like, you shouldn’t be out tricker treating, you are too big...this is for kids not yoU...you

should not come out next year...you are too old...refusing to give any candy to them, like they had a disease, because that’s how they felt. These two girls were heart broken and in tears, my girl asked what’s wrong with us? Why wouldn’t he give me candy? Shame on you who did this to my girl and her friend, shame on your attitude.

How dare you hurt two sweet girls who would not hurt anyone at all costs! Town of Mundare, its called having a kind heart to all. Thank you to the wonderful people who did open the door with a smile and give to these girls, thank you so much. Kelleigh Kelly Broken hearted mother

Take a moment to remember Dear Editor, I am proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in which members and graduates of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program pass on the Remembrance message to the younger generation. As Remembrance Day is fast approaching, I would like to pay special tribute to all men and

women who have served in Canada’s military, and especially those who lost a limb or limbs in war. I was born missing my right leg above the knee, and have learned to overcome this challenge thanks to programs put in place by amputee veterans of The War Amps. I am thankful for war amputee veterans because they have helped

pave the way for amputees in Canada. Because of them, the limbs we use today are much more sophisticated and adapted to our daily needs and activities. Even more importantly they fought for our country and our freedom. I am thankful for all they have done to make sure Canada remains a peaceful coun-

try. On Remembrance Day, please take a moment to remember those who have and continue to serve. We commemorate their lives and share their stories so that their sacrifices will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Kylie Besplug, 27 Lethbridge, Alberta

Lamont Lodge progress Dear Editor, It is interesting to see that Kim Rolheiser (Brenex) is saying the weather is causing delays to the construction of the facility. I would say it’s due to the poor site preparation.

Maybe when Brenex meets with Alberta and Lamont Housing officials at their meeting (every two weeks), they can tell them they are making up time by throwing safety out the window.

I worked in construction for 45 years. When I see workers climbing on joists and trusses and sheeting the roof without being tied off I get worried. Someone is going to fall. The practice of no safe-

ty tie offs went away in the work place years ago. It is also illegal under the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Act. Len Upton

From Where I Sit: The Latest Lesson

By Hazel Anaka How did you cope with the soggy weather this year? Like most things, it impacted some people more than others. For this Festival Coordinator, it caused some fleeting angst. Then I realized that far bigger, more established events like the Calgary Stampede or Taste of Edmonton got through it. Albertans are plucky

people and most will figure out a way to do what they really want to do. That may mean packing rain gear, shortening their stay, grinning and bearing it. At is happened, our August 20-21 weekend was fine. The showers happened at night and didn’t hamper our outdoor plans. The cooler weather was a blessing to those of us working so hard for so long. The subsequent couple of weeks were cool and gloomy enough that it kept me indoors sorting, storing, rationalizing all the supplies that must be kept from year to year. Purchasing some more totes and a wheeled storage caddy should make a huge difference next summer. I’ll spend less time searching boxes and bags. Most of the preliminary packing of what needs to get to the hall is already done. It will be easier for me

to load the utility trailer and for the volunteers to unload and reload it before and after the festival. For all of us, time is precious and saving steps and working smarter makes more and more sense as we age. Plus, I love the challenge of making that happen. Then as August turned into September, then October, nothing much happened outside other than cutting the grass. When my three flowerpots died ages ago it took forever to remove the bodies. While I awaited some potentially lifealtering medical results, I reassessed how I was living my life. I decided that regardless of the results, there were going to be some huge changes in the yard. Undesirable and volunteer plants would be nuked with Roundup. Overgrown shrubs would be yanked out by their roots. Invasive

perennials would be shared or gonzo. Naturally, Roy would be needed for the tractor and bucket work. A pea gravel mulch, a few specimen trees, and huge landscape rocks would be the new minimalist look. The goal being to free up time for guilt-free pastimes that bring pleasure not drudgery. If I need a ‘flower fix’ I can visit public or private gardens or greenhouses. I can buy flowers for the house. I can damn well do what I want when I want. I can make my life easier. I can choose my own destiny. Unfortunately, we did-

n’t get as far along with that work as I’d hoped. The harvest from hell didn’t help. So I fill my time with busy work, visiting the grandsons, cleaning and rearranging my office. As satisfying as that all is, it feels like just biding

Elk Island Public Schools charts course November is one of the busiest months for Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees—it’s also one of our most important. That’s because it’s the time of year when we delve deep and examine where we are as a Division and where we are headed. For the second straight year, trustees are partaking in the Division-wide Results Review process, which essentially is a forum for schools and departments to share with the Board their individual results, annual plans, successes and challenges. Previously, the trustees reviewed the Division’s results through the Annual

EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook Education Results Report (AERR)—a document outlining how the Division is developing students to achieve the best possible outcomes. With the introduction of the Results Review

Process, trustees now also interact directly with all our schools and departments, which helps us gain an even more holistic understanding of what’s taking place throughout the Division. Ultimately, this enriches our ability to identify key outcomes and accomplishments, emerging trends and issues, and how to best allocate resources Division wide. On top to the Results Review process, the Board is analyzing the Division’s financial position. Our Audit Committee is busy conducting an in-depth review of all the 2015–2016 audited financial statements. Once

complete, the review will be studied by all trustees and will help guide future decisions. Additionally, trustees are taking part in various working sessions to finalize the EIPS 2016–2017 budget. It’s a process the Board goes through every fall once the official enrolment numbers, audited financial statements and results reports are submitted. The sessions include EIPS’ senior administration, and, together we’ll go through every aspect of the 2016–2017 budget and weigh how resources are being directed to best meet our students’ needs. At the end of the

month, all the hard work comes to fruition when the AERR, audited financial statements and the 2016–2017 fall budget are approved during the Board Meeting on November 24. Collectively, these

processes ensure we are meeting the educational needs of our students in a fiscally responsible way—which ultimately is our goal.

Perpetual Energy shuts down operations in Lamont County unreasonable property tax.” At that time, the company suggested two possible alternatives to payment, which included: *Reduce the amount of 2016 municipal taxes payable to $1 based on the AER’s negative valuation of $12.8 million for their assets. *Instead of paying the tax imposed or any other fees or charges payable to Lamont County, to provide an annual payment to the municipality by the operator as provided in their agreement. If no agreement could be reached, the company said it would be willing to discuss donating their tangible assets, along with petroleum and natural gas rights, surface leases, contracts and other intangibles required to carry on the oil and natural gas business activities as a public utility, for the county’s benefit. At the August 9 council meeting Chief Administrative Officer Robyn Singleton presented those options to

The advertisement which appears on this page cited taxes as the reason for closing down its operation in the area. In a letter dated June 30, 2016 Perpetual Energy stated it had made the decision to defer payment of 2016 property taxes to Lamont County. “As previously disclosed to you in our letter dated April 11, 2016, we continue to believe that the assessed value of our property vastly exceeds the true and reasonable value of the properties that Perpetual operates within the boundaries of your county, and that exaggerated valuation is leading to unfair and

council. In request for decision, Singleton pointed out that Perpetual Energy owed just over $1 million in taxes to the county. Coun. Roy Anaka made the motion to deny all of the requests from Perpetual Energy and proceed in the normal manner to address nonpayment of taxes. The motion was carried. As a result, Perpetual Energy sold off its assets in the community for a nominal dollar. Singleton said the company does have a lot of assets in the county, but that the county did not want to approve the request as it would set a precedent for other oil companies in the future, and because the county does not know the environmental liability against the company’s assets. At the August 9 council meeting Coun. Anaka made another motion to deny the request by Orlen Upstream Canada to forgive 50 per cent of the arrears owing. The motion was carried.The

amount of taxes owning to the county was just over $10,000. At the September 6 council meeting Canadian Natural Resources Limited requested a 30 per cent reduction in taxes, nearly $60,000.

Coun. Anaka deferred the request to the October council meeting, but no decision was made at that meeting. Under Section 347 of the Municipal Government Act, municipalities do have the authority to

cancel or reduce tax arrears, cancel or refund all or part of a tax, defer the collection of a tax, or phase in a tax increase or decrease resulting from the preparation of any new assessment.

We couldn’t afford the taxes – so we basically gave away our assets! After decades of operating as your neighbour, we are sadly bidding community members farewell. The reason, we simply couldn’t afford to operate in the municipality any longer. The municipal tax charged to our properties placed our operations into a major loss situation. The reason, regulated valuations used to calculate taxes massively exceed the true value of our assets. 16111CC0

We asked officials to consider changes but they said no. As a result, on October 1, 2016 we sold our assets in your community for a nominal dollar. As we bid farewell to the community we want to say to our employees, suppliers, contractors and residents – thank you.

Please bring Alberta Health Care Card. Short sleeves recommended.

Bruderheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown hockey hero outstanding in net and always wants to ensure they are recognized and appreciated

Michelle Pinon Editor

Whether he is playing, coaching, refereeing, or sitting in the bleachers, Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch is always promoting the game of hockey, and his lifelong love of the game. Hauch is especially excited about the renaming of the Bruderheim Arena which has undergone extensive renovations on its top floor in recent months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can hardly wait,â&#x20AC;? said Hauch, during a conversation in the arena lobby Friday night. He also sent out several tweets to cheer on Team Canada womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie Emerance Maschmeyer who posted a 3-0 shut out on Tuesday, Nov. 1 during the opening game against the host team from Finland to kick off the Four Nations Cup. According to the Canadian Press, the 22-year-old from Bruderheim turned away all 18 shots to record her fourth career shutout in 10 starts (6-4) with the national team. Hauch as well as many of Emeranceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fans are anxiously waiting for her return to Canada, and the official renaming ceremony officials are hop-

The donated funds have been funnelled into the arena renovations, including the addition of a hockey hall of fame room celebrating family and sport as she would have wanted.

We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheek. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, November 8, 2016 - 11 The medal set (photos) and the memorial plaque in honour of Private George Lawrence Price, the last Canadian soldier killed during World War I, have been donated to the Canadian War Museum. Private Price died at 10:58 a.m. on November 11, 1918, only two minutes before the armistice went into effect.

Lest We Forget – Why do we say that? These three words are used when reminding people of something important. eg. Many soldiers died, lest we forget, fighting for our freedom. They come from the poem Recessional by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) an English Poet. After World War I, the phrase “Lest We Forget” was used as a plea not to forget past sacrifices. Lest we forget, three powerful words that are known across most countries as a way to show our remembrance of those who have fought, and those who have died, fighting for freedom. It means that we will never forget. In Canada, we honour the day by wearing poppies, a flower that bloomed throughout the fields of battle grounds in France and Belgium during World War I. The wearing of the symbol of the poppy was made popular due to the poem, Flanders Field, written by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae after witnessing his friend and fellow soldier struck down in the midst of battle in WWI.

We honour and salute you Andrew Grocery

We shall never forget you Lamont Foods They gave their tomorrow so we could have our today

"The cost of the First World War in terms of human lives was overwhelming," said Stephen Quick, Director General of the Canadian War Museum. "One of the more poignant moments is the loss of Private Price mere minutes before the guns fell silent." Born in Falmouth, Nova Scotia, Private Price was a 24 year-old farm labourer in Saskatchewan when he was conscripted into military service. After training in Canada, he was sent to Bramshott Military Camp in England and eventually assigned to the 28th Battalion. Two months before his death, Private Price survived a gas attack at the battle to cross the Canal du Nord in France. There are several conflicting stories of Private Price's death, but official records note that at approximately 10:50 a.m. on November 11, 1918, an enemy sniper shot Private Price in the chest while he was on patrol in Ville-sur-Haine, Belgium, just outside Mons. At the time, Private Price served as a runner for A Company, 28th Canadian Infantry Battalion, and was chasing German soldiers through of a series of houses. Despite the administration of first-aid, Private Price died a few minutes later and is buried at St. Symphorien Military Cemetery, Belgium. He is generally recognized as the last Commonwealth soldier to be killed during the First World War. The artifacts were donated by the Royal Canadian Legion in Kentville, Nova Scotia, with the support of the descendants of Private Price. Price's story is currently included at the end of the First World War gallery. The medal set will be displayed in an exhibition in 2018 on the Last Hundred Days campaign of the First World War, curated by Dr. Tim Cook and Dr. J. L. Granatstein.The Canadian War Museum is Canada's national museum of military history. Its mission is to promote public understanding of Canada's military history in its personal, national, and international dimensions. Work of the Canadian War Museum is made possible in part through financial support of the Government of Canada. For more information, visit warmuseum.ca

"During the Peninsular Campaign in 1862, a soldier of Tidball's Battery A of the 2nd Artillery was buried at a time when the battery occupied an advanced position concealed in the woods. It was unsafe to fire the customary three volleys over the grave, on account of the proximity of the enemy, and it occurred to Capt. Tidball that the sounding of Taps would be the most appropriate ceremony that could be substituted."

Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Fading light, dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night. Thanks and praise, for our days, 'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh. Sun has set, shadows come, Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds Always true to the promise that they made. While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Harrison's Landing (near Richmond), Virginia, the wounded Commander of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, V Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, General Daniel Butterfield reworked, with his bugler Oliver Wilcox Norton, another bugle call, "Scott Tattoo," to create Taps. He thought that the regular call for Lights Out was too formal. Taps was adopted throughout the Army of the Potomac and finally confirmed by orders. Soon other Union units began using Taps, and even a few Confederate units began using it as well. After the war, Taps became an official bugle call. Col. James A. Moss, in his Officer's Manual first published in 1911, gives an account of the initial use of Taps at a military funeral:

Due to many poppy boxes being stolen across Calgary in 2015, a new anti-theft poppy box was designed. The new boxes have a built-in chain that can be tethered behind the counter of where they are placed; the slot ot donate money is also designed in such a way as to discourage spontaneous theft. Photo to left: current poppy boxes. Photo to right: Dan Kroffat, local celebrity, philanthropist, and retired professional wrestler, holds the new poppy box he was inspired to design.

Any time of year is a good time for a hayride, and these trick or treaters had a great time travelling through the streets of Andrew on Monday, Oct. 31.

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP welcome new commander and chief SUBMITTED ARTICLE Chief Superintendent Jerry Scott, the Officer in Charge of Central Alberta District, is pleased to announce that on November 14 Inspector Chris Culhane will assume the role of Officer in Charge for the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Detachment. His posting will mark the first time in more than 100 years that someone at the rank of inspector will lead the detachment. In 1913, Insp. McDonnell was appointed Officer in Charge of the Fort Saskatchewan Royal North West Mounted Police. In

recent years, the position was classified at the rank of staff sergeant, and the elevation in rank to inspector reflects the growth that has taken place in Fort Saskatchewan. Insp. Culhane traces his heritage back to Métis leader Gabriel Dumont (1837-1906), who applied courage and diplomacy to his efforts to improve the lives of his people. Insp. Culhane’s RCMP career began in 1995 and he has worked in British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and Alberta. His policing experience includes post-

ings to specialized units such as the Major Crime Unit and the Federal Drug Section. In 2003, Insp. Culhane was the recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal, which was awarded for outstanding achievement and public service in Canada.� Insp. Culhane lives in Fort Saskatchewan and his family has had ties to the community for many years. He is looking forward to leading the detachment and supporting the community and its partners.

16 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, November 8, 2016

High profile offender now behind bars, report RCMP Vegreville, AB - On October 29 at approximately 4:45pm the Vegreville RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious male that has just parked a truck and trailer in a field, south west of Mundare. A police check of the vehicle that was left in the field resulted in police discovering that the truck and trailer were stolen from a business in Nisku.The complainant further advised

police that the male that had dropped the truck off was now leaving the scene in a John Deer Skid steer. RCMP located the male driving the skid steer on Range Road 17-0 and attempted to arrest the driver. He fled in the skid steer. At one point the male attempted to ram a police vehicle. During this interaction the male driving the skid steer was identified as Rory Jordan Serna, a 23

Government responds to Auditor General’s report “One of the most important things we have done as a government is to improve the transparency and accountability of agencies, boards and commissions. This process is being conducted to improve transparency and accountability of ABCs, get better value for taxpayers and reduce costs,” stated Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci in response to the Auditor General’s report that was released on Nov. 7. “While much of this work has been done in a systematic, government-wide approach, there are times when dramatic corrective action has been necessary. “This was the case with the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC). In June, the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry dismissed the board, and three senior executives were removed from active duty. This action was taken because our internal auditors found board oversight needed to be strengthened and senior executives accepted gifts from vendors. “The report that was released today by the Auditor General provides further reasons to why my colleague, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier, did the right thing by taking such action. Beyond the issues that were uncovered in June, the Auditor General has also determined there are issues involving the management and clarity of strategic direction of AFSC that need to be addressed. “Since the removal of the board and the suspension of the senior executives in June, the following action has been taken to ensure AFSC better serves Alberta farmers and helps grow the rural economy: •An Interim Board of Directors consisting of senior civil servants has been appointed and Ed Knash, vice-president for business and agriculture for ATB Financial, has been named the interim Chief Executive Officer. •An open recruitment process for a new, permanent board of directors is underway and a new board is expected to be in place by the New Year. “A review is still underway to determine appropriate disciplinary action for the executives and the matter has also been referred to law enforcement for review to determine if additional actions are required. “The Auditor General has also reported on other ways where our government has and will be taking action based on his advice. We will act on his recommendations to ensure that recipients of AISH will have improved access to this program and that wait times for approval will be reduced. “Our departments continue to work to ensure the successful implementation of the Auditor General’s outstanding recommendations.”

Roy Serna year old male from Two Hills, AB. Serna then continued to evade police by driving through two large metal gates around the rural property. He then stole an unlocked truck and continued to evade police. At one point Serna backed his vehicle up and made another attempt to ram into the officers. Serna then fled the property in the stolen truck. Over the next hour Serna attempted to steal a service truck and was

successful in stealing another pickup truck from the same property. A search of the stolen skid steer resulted in RCMP locating a .22 caliber rifle. On October 31st, Serna was arrested by the Red Deer RCMP attempting to steal property from the Red Deer Canadian Tire. At the time of his arrest, it was also determined that Serna had traveled to Red Deer in a semi truck that was stolen from Fort Saskatchewan. As a result of the incident in Vegreville, Serna has been charged with the following offences: - five counts of possession of stolen property over $5000 - flight from police while being pursued - dangerous operation of a motor vehicle - assaulting a police officer - mischief

- possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle - unlawful possession of a firearm - thirteen counts of breach of his release conditions - two counts of breach of probation - operating an uninsured motor vehicle on a highway - operating an unregistered motor vehicle As a result of the incident in Red Deer, Serna has been charged with the following offences: - Robbery - obstructing a police officer - possession of stolen property over $5000 - three counts of breach of probation - fourteen counts of breach of his release conditions At the time of his arrest Serna was also had outstanding arrest warrants for property offences and stolen vehi-

cles in the Two Hills area. It is believed that the 23 year old Serna is responsible for numerous thefts of trucks, trailers and construction equipment in the Vegreville, Two Hills and Lamont areas over the past serveral months. These investigations are ongoing at this time. Serna has been remanded into custody at this time. His first appearance for the Red Deer charges was on November 2. For the Vegreville charges, first appearance is scheduled for November 3. Serna is still a suspect in multiple other thefts. Should anyone have any information about these investigations, or others involving Serna, please contact your local RCMP Detachment, or Crime-Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477)

Grade 7/8 girls and boys volleyball teams had home court advantage during the Lamont Lakers ATB Financial invitational tournament October 27-29. The coaches and players made the most of the opportunity by placing first and fourth overall. The girls team captured gold, and the boys team were edged out of medal contention. Head coaches Ainsley Lopushinsky and Jacques Pinon were happy with each of their team’s performances. Lopushinsky said her team already had a “good group dynamic” and were able to put it all together when they needed to take top honours. Pinon said his team was successful when they were hitting the ball deep, and that’s what they would be concentrating on in the coming weeks, heading into the Elk Island Public Schools playoffs. Lopushinsky said it was more of an honour winning at home, and was very proud of all of the players as well as her assistant coaches, and especially grateful for the strong showing of support from fans. Cory Kokotailo, Director of

Athletics and Physical Education at Lamont High School, said this is the second year for the junior high tournament. Although Lamont High has had junior teams in the past, this is the first year they’ve had four teams in junior high. “With the addition of the two extra teams we had to offer coaching positions to high school students we felt could teach the students the skills needed, and be able to handle the added responsibilities of coaching. In such, we chose Ainsley Lopushinky and Jacques Pinon as they are Grade 12’s, and have played multiple years themselves, and have shown the leadership qualities needed to lead our Grade 7/8 teams.” Kokotailo added that the teams practices and games are supervised by himself, and having the students coaches takes a load off the other coaches in the school. While the students are not offered credits for coaching, that may be an option in the future. “As of now, the students do it (coach) to give back to a program that does so much for the school, and that they have benefitted from. All the student coaches are important parts of the athletic program at Lamont High.”
