Former Andrew Bottle Depot owners appeal hefty $844,778 penalty Michelle Pinon Editor

Johnny Ha and Shawn Diep, former owners of the Andrew Bottle Depot, were issued a hefty administrative penalty by Alberta Environment and Parks back in February of 2015. in the amount of $844,778. Instead of paying the $844,778 administrative penalty within 30 days as requested, they opted to file an appeal, and that appeal will go before the Environmental Appeals

Board on Friday, April 22nd.

The penalty was levied against the former owners of the Andrew Bottle Depot, who operated under the name of Alberta Reclaim and Recycling Inc. for transporting and accepting out of province beverage containers into Alberta, obtaining funds for them, as well as failing to comply with the terms and conditions of its issued permit while they were operating the Andrew Bottle Depot.

“This is the largest

administrative penalty the Environmental Appeal Board has ever seen,” said Gilbert Van Nes, General Counsel and Settlement Officer of the Environmental Appeals Board. The base penalty is $75,000 with the remainder of the penalty, ($769,778) being levied because of the company’s economic gain.

“The basic rule is that bottle depots do not accept out of province beverage containers,” stated Van Nes. By getting money out of the

system, he pointed out the company made a substantial profit they were not entitled to legally.

The company was issued an operating permit by the Alberta Beverage Container M a n a g e m e n t Association in 2012.

Between January of 2012 and January of 2013 Alberta Environment and Parks investigated the allegations. Even though the company has been issued an administrative penalty, it is not prohibited from operat-

ing a bottle depot anywhere in the province.

Pat Skoreyko, Chief Administrative Officer for the Village of Andrew, told the Lamont Leader, that the new owners of the Andrew Bottle Depot took out their business licence with the village in January of 2014.

Van Nes said the Environmental Appeals Board did not receive any requests from anyone in this area to make a submission before the Feb. 5th deadline.

Members of the public

can, however, attend the appeals board hearing on April 22 at the board’s office in Edmonton. As well, copies of the material filed with the board respecting this appeal are available for viewing at the Andrew Public Library until April 15th.

Librarian Denise Dorland said the document can be viewed Monday to Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Andrew Senior Citizens Lodge will not close, says official Michelle Pinon Editor

Despite fears and rumours that the Andrew Senior Citizens Lodge could close down, officials close to the situation say that will not happen.

One of those officials is Harold James, Executive Director of the Lamont County Housing Foundation, which oversees the operation of the facility. “Closing the Andrew Senior Citizens’ Lodge is not an option for the housing foundation,” stated James.

“We operate the lodges based on a combined occupancy. We continue to break even in our combined operations, and in some cases, we experience a small surplus.” James pointed out

“The needs assessment will focus on honing in on community needs; our overall goal is to ensure that Andrew Lodge is operating as a single entity, and can operate in a manner whereby the facility becomes viable and a sustainable operation.”

Lamont County Councillor Roy Anaka, who has sat as the municipality’s repre s e n t a t i v e on the housing foundation committee since 2010, said the occupancy rate is a challenge. It is an issue that is complex, and some of the factors that affect the occupancy rate are: small rooms, proximity to family

that in that context they are still holding their own.

The current occupancy is at 50 per cent. James added that the occupancy rates has been fluctuating for the past five years. “We have attempted various forms of advertising and have connected to other groups to improve the occupancy at Andrew, and we will continue to work hard in order to accomplish t h e required t u r n around.”

A needs assessment survey is also going to be distributed to Andrew and area residents in the near future.

According to James,

members, as well as medical services.

Currently there is no physician who visits the lodge, and the community does not have hospital to address emergency medical situations. As well, the village does not currently have a drug store or pharmacist to assist with medications and prescriptions.

Anaka said expectations from prospective residents and families are a lot higher today then in previous years, which has a direct impact on residency. He added that the provincial government owns the facility, and has a vested interest to keep the doors open, which is also a primary consideration in the decision making process.

Local leaders and educators build bridges Michelle Pinon Editor

Municipal leaders gathered in the hall lobby of the Lamont Recreation Centre on Tuesday, February 25 to break bread and build bridges together.

The event, hosted by Lamont County, saw around 24 municipal leaders and University of Alberta Senators and Staff from the Augustana and the Main Campus on hand to share information and ideas as to how to best serve each other and fulfill their needs.

“The whole point of this is a bridge building exercise,” stated U of A Senator Jerry Iwanus.

“We’re trying to forge relationships with communities in the area that we couldn’t do alone…

We want to foster a deeper understanding and how to connect with each other.”

Wayne Woldanski, Reeve of Lamont County, welcomed guests from the neighbouring towns and villages as well as representatives from the school division. “I know it’ll be a great opportuni-

ty to forget relationships with stakeholders, and I look forward to that.”

Local school board trustee Colleen Holowaychuk introduced EIPS board Vicechair Harvey Stadnick, Deputy Vice Superintendent Eileen Zimmerman, and Lamont High School Principal Sharon McLean. “We are very inspired by this collaboration,” said Holowaychuk. She also indicated they would be interested in some duel crediting program options if at all possible.

Chancellor Ralph Young, the face of the University of Alberta, is the institution’s 20th chancellor. “We are deeply committed to expanding educational opportunities so people can reach their full potential,” stated Young.

He thanked Lamont County for its hospitality. “It’s a great pleasure to have the opportunity to get out in the community.” He went on to say that part of their role is ambassadors of the university. Currently, the U of A has 62 senators. “All

of us our volunteers.”

Young jokingly assured the crowd they were not in the same league as Mike Duffy. “But you know him,” quipped county councillor Roy Bryks. “Only by reputation,” Young teasingly replied.

“We try to represent all Albertans,” noted Young. “In order to do amazing work, you have to be focused and specialized; our job is to make sure we don’t get too short sighted and keep as grounded as we can.” Young introduced the Senators that were in attendance, and then turned the microphone over to Dr. Peter Berg to talk about the U of A Augustana Campus in Camrose.

Augusta offers five degree programs. They include: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Management, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Combined. “We believe in the whole education of students,” pointed out Berg. The university also offers pre-professional

studies, and certificate options.

Dr. Lars Hailstorm, heads up the Alberta Centre For Sustainable Rural Communities (ACSRC) Program at the Augustana campus. The vision of ACSRC is to strive to fill the gap for research and policy in rural areas by fostering constructive dialogue, promoting interdisciplinary and collaborative research, and developing partnerships between the U of A and rural communities in Alberta and beyond.

Jennifer Stonechild, an Environmental Science Program graduate, hails from Vegreville and

spoke about her experiences and reasons for choosing to attend Augustana. “It gave me room to grow and learn and stay close to my rural roots.” Stonechild said she has developed a lot of transferrable skills as well, and expects her education and experience to guide her when it comes to deciding her future career path.

Tonya Simpson will be graduating from the biology program this year.

Simpson, who is from the Pigeon Lake area, said she was not prepared to be one of 500 students in a class, and noted the average ratio at Augustana is 16:1.

Simpson said Augustana was a perfect choice as it allowed her to remain close to her family while studying at university.

While she changed her career path after her first year of studies, Simpson said she enjoyed volunteering in the local hospital, and learned about the indigenous anthropology course, and how the opportunity to participate in a bat and insect study in Costa Rica as well as go on an archaeological dig in Rhode Island, led her to the realization that she can create her own path and follow her new found passions.

Lucas Huduc, Recruiter for the University of Albertaʼs Augustana Campus in Camrose, spoke to Lamont High School students earlier in the afternoon. Small class sizes, hands on learning and leadership opportunities, international research projects, and a holistic approach to education are just some of the features the campus has to offer.

Earth Hour is fast approaching, and the Town of Lamont is encouraging all residents and businesses to help shine a light on climate action, and turn off their lights for one hour on Saturday, March19th between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m.

The overall goal of this initiative is to have as big an impact on energy reduction as possible, says Elaine Macdonald, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Lamont. “We are hoping that all the residents of Lamont can participate and tune out, turn off and unplug for that hour. It does make a difference. In the long run that one hour difference can translate into a permanent difference if our actions earn us a placing in the grant success.”

Some of the things MacDonald suggests for passing the time during Earth Hour is playing board games and telling ghost stories by candlelight or go for a walk. The main thing is to reconnect with the people in your life in person rather than electronically, she adds.

Last year was the first year the Town of Lamont participated in the Earth Hour Challenge. As a result, the community was one of three in the

province to have the highest energy savings per capita. The town was awarded a $1,000 grant by FortisAlberta, and used the funds to purchase led lighting for town facilities.

This year, first, second and third place Earth Hour Challenge winners will be awarded $7,500; $5,000; and $2,500 in grants respectively.

Earth Hour is an initiative of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). It began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, and more than 2.2 million individuals and 2,000 businesses turned their lights out for an hour. Then in 2008, the world’s largest environmental activism event went global. The event has grown in popularity over the years. In 2015, Earth Hour individuals, businesses and organizations in over 7,000 cities and 172 countries and territories during the hour and beyond.

Opinion From Where I Sit: Can’t Wait to Start

By Hazel Anaka We’re now two months into 2016. If, like me you began the year with a pristine new planner, how’s it looking now?

Are there entries for every day? Is it serving your life and your purpose? Is it a glorified

daily to-do list? Is it a record of your life for posterity?

Planners are available in all styles and price points. For recording the bare bones of my wedding bookings I use a month-at-a-glance dollar store version.

Investment: $1.25. In the past for my main planner I’ve used the leatherbound zippered binder style with refill pages.

It’s an expensive professional look with pockets and space for business cards, clippings, more.

However, it’s not very practical when at yearend you’ve got 365 loose pages to deal with.

Gradually I moved to a coil bound large format

book by Brownline because there was plenty of room and the book lies flat. It was in the thirtyfive dollar range. This year I hesitated buying anything because I never last all year making entries. In fact I waited so long my preferred planner was sold out at Staples.

Finally I plunked down more than forty dollars for the hardcover Brownline executive quotidian one Roy has used for years.

And so far, other than for the two weeks we were away, I’ve made entries. Other than those pages done with coloured pens or stickers as a visible reward for exercising, it’s ho-hum—

utilitarian but oh-so boring.

However.

In late December I clipped an Edmonton Journal article about the planner obsessed. There are many Pinterest boards (#plannernerd, #plannerlove, #plannerobsessed, #plannerjunkies) dedicated to the subject.

One woman has turned her interest into a business. Erin Condren believes there’s a market for “a colourful approach to not only scheduling every day but truly celebrating every day.”

I am thrilled with the possibilities for combining my need for an artistic outlet with the necessity of managing a busy

schedule. I already have an arsenal of tools: coloured pencils and felt pens, a collection of stickers, a leopard print roll of washi tape, rubber stamps, several books of quotations, and a creative eye.

Pinterest examples show dozens of options.

Inspirational quotes like ‘You’ve Got This!’ or ‘Just Start’ or “Get it Done!’ or ‘You’re Running Out of Time’ are peppered across many planner pages.

Planners, printable stickers or margin strips are available for sale. Of course I see the crossover between scrapbooking, adult colouring books, and journaling. There’s

also a crafting aspect to it. Paper clips embellished with colourful ribbons are fun and practical for marking special pages.

In one example someone is using her journal as a sketchbook by drawing glasses to track her water intake. Someone else is recording her measurements in a fancy table during a weight loss journey. Another identifies Habits to Break.

So, my lovelies, if ever there was a reason and a way to make scheduling fun and creative, it has arrived. Grab some supplies and take some time to play. I can’t wait to start, from where I sit.

I am a double leg amputee and a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.

Thanks to public support of The War Amps Key Tag Service, I have attended regional CHAMP Seminars where Champs and their parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, teasing and bullying and how to parent an amputee child.

I have been a Junior Counsellor at the seminars, acting as a role

model and giving advice to the younger Champs.

The seminars let child amputees know they aren’t alone and that the sky is the limit. I am also a multisport athlete, and donations to the Key Tag Service have allowed me to be fitted with recreational limbs and devices to participate in sports and stay active. If it wasn’t for The War Amps, I would not be able to do any of the things I do.

2016 marks the 70th anniversary of The War Amps Key Tag Service and to date, more than

1.5 million sets of lost keys have been returned to their owners.

Although it is a free service, donations made provide young amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs and allow us to go to regional seminars.

Thank you to everyone who has supported The War Amps Key Tag Service, which has helped Canadian amputees like me for the past 70 years.

Spills create road hazards in county Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County’s public works department has had its hands full in recent weeks because of illegal dumping on rural roads.

On February 5, an unknown substance was dumped on Range Road 170 south of Township Road 580.

Robyn Singleton, Chief Administrative Officer of Lamont County, said they had to advise Alberta Environment of the spill because they

didn’t know if this was a hazardous material or not. Investigators came in to take samples for testing, and the substance had to be removed with a hydrovac truck.

Even though the liquid was later determined to be a non-regulated substance and not hazardous in nature, it had to be disposed of, added Singleton, which cost time and money. How much money? Singleton said they haven’t received a bill yet, so he doesn’t know at this

point in time what the total cost will be.

Another problem public works ran into happened on February 6 when they encounter a pile of garbage that was dumped on Range Road 194 south of Hwy 15, and Township Road 550 between Range Road 202 and Strewn garbage creates a safety Range Road 203. hazard for motorists on rural roads.

Minister Carr leaves more questions than answers, says Lakeland MP Stubbs SUBMITTED ARTICLE Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources last week to answer questions about his mandate and actions he and his government have taken to date.

On January 27th, Minister Carr announced interim measures complicating and extending the approval of essential energy infrastructure.

The announcement of five principles that will guide the government’s decisions has caused confusion for stakeholders, project proponents and the industry as a whole. During the opening comments of his hour-long appearance at the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, Minister Carr provided an overview of the Liberal government’s approach to natural resources, however the Minister failed to recog-

nize the importance of Alberta’s world-leading oil and gas industry.

“For decades, Canada’s energy innovation and regulatory best practices and enforcement, particularly those from Alberta, have been exported to and adopted in oil-producing regions around the world,” said Shannon Stubbs, Member of Parliament for Lakeland.

“The Minister did not mention this as he addressed the committee, while addressing Canada’s strengths in other sectors of our natural resource development.”

The Liberal government has also announced a new process where greenhouse gas emissions resulting from pipeline projects will be analyzed and the results presented to the Cabinet, who will then make the final approval decision. This will be separate from and will take place after the existing National

Energy Board process, adding new complications and increased delays for project decisions. The process is being further politicized by the injection of a ministerial representative who will collect public feedback from communities affected by natural resources projects.

“The Minister failed to provide any details about the government’s new planned regulatory changes, about which I asked. A continued lack of clarity from the Minister only reinforces the instability and uncertainty that the government is creating by announcing regulatory changes, increasing costs and time delays, for the

energy sector, which already faces a major economic challenge in the current low oil price context,” said M.P. Stubbs. “The combination of low oil prices and government uncertainty causes job losses across the country, including in my riding of Lakeland.”

Given my background in policy development, communications and stakeholder relations in heavy oil and oil sands, and promoting Alberta’s service, supply and technology companies, the Minister did not need to take up the committee’s time repeating my point to him,” said M.P. Stubbs. “Instead, he should have provided information and details for the clarity I requested that would actually assist the businesses, workers, families and communities being impacted by the challenges in the energy sector, which affect all sectors and all provinces across Canada.”

Public hearings on proposed dog, and off highway vehicles, bylaws to be held Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County will be holding two public hearings on March 8th in council chambers.

The first hearing, slated for 1 p.m., will deal with a proposed dog bylaw, and the second hearing, set for 1:30 p.m., concerns a proposed off highway vehicles bylaw.

Both proposed bylaws were introduced at the Feb. 16th council meeting, and both were given first reading. In order for a proposed bylaw to be passed, three readings must be passed by council.

The Lamont County Dog Control Bylaw addresses the responsibilities of dog owners, what is considered a nuisance or vicious dog, what constitutes animal and dog cruelty, as well as impoundment and violation tickets and penalties.

Lamont County Peace Officer Steve Crosby said the proposed dog bylaw stems from a series of complaints this past summer. Within three weeks, Crosby said 21 complaints were filed with the county.

Even though Crosby does as much as he can to educate the public, he said they need to have a

bylaw in place to protect residents and dogs alike.

“I want to find a balance between public safety and safety for the dog,” stated Crosby in a recent interview.

Crosby said the county does not currently have a bylaw for dogs, and feels one is needed. “I want dog owners to take responsibility and to find a happy medium,” he added.

Under section 4 of the proposed bylaw it is the responsibility of dog owners to ensure their dog is not running at large, is on a leash and in control at all times when off property, and to ensure a dog does not enter or remain in a school yard or cemetery in the county.

The maximum number of dogs a person can own is four. More than four dogs is classified as a kennel and a development permit would need to be obtained from the county.

Owners of female dogs are to keep them confined when they are in season, and no dog that is suffering from a communicable disease is permitted to come in contact with other dogs, animals or humans.

In regards to interference, no one is allowed to untie, loosen or other-

wise free a dog which has been tied or otherwise restrained. No one is allowed to tease or torment a dog or otherwise provoke a dog to bark, bite, attempt to bite, chase or otherwise threaten any person or animal or dog. No one is allowed to negligently or willfully open a gate, door or other opening in a fence or enclosure in which a dog has been confined, and thereby allow a dog to run at large in the county.

Under the category of nuisance, no person shall allow a dog to howl or bark excessively or in a manner to unreasonably interfere with the use and/or enjoyment of another person’s property. No person shall allow a dog to bite, attempt to bite, bark at, chase or otherwise attempt to threaten any person, household pet, poultry, or livestock whether on the owners property or not. No person shall allow a dog to bite, bark at, or chase any bicycle or motor vehicle, upset waste receptacles or scatter the contents on any private or public property. No person shall allow a dog to act which causes harm, damage, or injury or biting to another household pet, person, livestock or property.

A Peace Officer may declare a dog to be a vicious dog if it attacks or bites a trespasser on the property of its owner or property controlled by him or her. If it is kept as a livestock guardian dog and if the attack is in defense of livestock of which the dog is responsible on the property of the owner. Specifics are leashing and muzzling of a vicious are also outline under section seven.

A Peace Officer may capture or impound any dog that is found running at large or which is required to be impounded pursuant to any provincial or federal law.

Owners have the right to redeem their dog within 72 hours from the time of impounding provided all boarding fees are paid. Any dog not redeemed within the time specified in the bylaw may be sold, destroyed, adopted or

otherwise disposed of.

No person or owner shall cause or permit a dog to be in distress.

They must ensure the dog has adequate food and water, provide adequate care when the dog is wounded or ill, provide the dog with reasonable protection from injurious heart or cold and provide adequate shelter, ventilation and space.

The Off Highway Vehicles Bylaw defines what an off highway vehicle is and that it must be operated by a qualified person, ie holder of a valid subsisting operators license.

Some of the conditions and limitations include the restriction of hours of operation between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. in any one day with the exemption of agricultural activities.

Maximum speed allowed for travel is 50 km per hour, and all off

highway vehicles shall have at least one headlight and one tail light. In hamlets, operators are to use the shortest route possible to their residence at a maximum speed of 30 kilometres per hour. All Off Highway Vehicles must be insured and registered in accordance with the Traffic Safety Act, and operators must wear a safety helmet.

The bylaw went on to stipulate: “No person shall ride as a passenger of an off highway vehicle unless wearing a safety helmet, and no person shall operate an off highway vehicle on a municipal reserves land within Lamont County. A schedule of fees was also included in the proposed bylaw.

Copies of both proposed bylaws are available at the Lamont County Administration Office.

Bruderheim fire chief ready for retirement Michelle Pinon Editor

Bob Cote knew it was time to step down.

After 28 years as Bruderheim’s Fire Chief, he decided to step aside, and let someone else take the helm recently.

While he’s never kept track of how many calls he went on during his tenure, Cote said the Bruderheim fire dept. averages 70 calls for service per year times 28 years, which equals 2,000 calls.

One of the most intense calls came in 2009. “The wildfire in the sand hills.” Cote said he was in charge of the night crew and Randy Siemens was in charge of the day crew. The fire, north of Bruderheim went from Township Road 562 to Township Road 565 along Range Road 203.

Lamont, Chipman, and Andrew assisted while the Mundare department covered the east end of the county. Cote said the fire got into the peat moss, and there were many flare ups even after the wildfire was brought under control.

Back in the summer of 1987 former Fire Chief Ross Richardson approached Cote about joining the department, and told him to come out on training night. He was asked to start a fire, and Cote did it on his first try, then Richardson told him, “If you know how to light them (fires) then you know how to put them out.” As Bob puts it, “things just evolved from there,” and he kept building his skills and knowledge year after year.

Answering the call, “that was my adrenaline rush,” says Cote. “I loved the excitement.”

When Bob and the other firefighters were on the way to a scene, they visualized what they would have to do when they got there. The training would kick in and he, along with his comrades in yellow, would automatically respond and remain calm during the call.

While a person’s skills and attributes come into play as well, the most important quality to have is commitment.

“First and foremost is commitment,” said Bob, and that meant every Tuesday night, as well as some weekends, for training sessions. Both training and equipment have changed drastically over the years, with many improvements in the area of technology.

“All the changes were for the better.”

One of the things Bob is very proud of is the Junior Firefighters Program that was initiated by Randy Siemens in 2009. Two of the participants have even gone on to earn lieutenant and captain ranks in the department. That makes Bob extremely happy, and he is looking forward to many more youth getting involved with the program.

One of the biggest and best changes came in 2012 when the new fire hall was opened. With much more space to house fire engines and equipment, along with ample room to hold training sessions for firefighters.

Bob said the most rewarding thing about being a firefighter was being able to meet and help so many people in the community. Being able to take care of situations for people in crisis, and providing a calming presence during difficul-

ties, have been personally rewarding, adds Bob. Even though he won’t be steering the ship anymore, Bob is hoping to stay involved in the department in some capacity. “I was ready for retirement. The difference will be that I’m in the background instead of the foreground.” No matter what ground he decides to stand on, Bob will keep himself grounded in firefighting and the community he calls home.

Geography Challenge winners take on the world Michelle Pinon Editor

You never know when a spark is going to start a fire, and that’s why Mundane School’s library technician Sian Vadnais likes to try new and different things for students to try.

One of those things, is participation in the annual Canadian Geographic Challenge. “This is the seventh year we’ve participated in the event,” said Vadnais, during the Grade 7 and 8 student finalists geography challenge on Friday, February 19th.

S i x students armed with t h e i r Chrome Books (lapt o p s ) answered s e v e n rounds of multiple choice questions in the areas of economy en Calthen Chmilar Chmilarand transportation, cultural geography, physical geography, Canadian communities, energy and mapping, population, and famous political landscapes. Each student had 30 seconds to complete each

question, which added to the mix.

It took about 15 minutes for the students to complete the challenge, and Calthen Chmilar was the first place winner. For his efforts, Chmilar will receive a certificate, medal, and a one year subscription to the magazine. The other top winners included: Andrew Zagrosh, Alexandra Morse, and Trey McCullough.

Vadnais said the first place winner can go on to the provincial geographic challenge, and depending on their score, could qualify for the nationals that will be held in Ottawa from June 35th.

There will also be a geography challenge for students in Grade 4, 5, and 6 students on April 29, and Vandais is also excited about that. Vadnais said all the students participate in the challenge, and she is hoping they will develop a lifelong interest in the subject.

The Canadian Geographic Challenge was launched in 1995 as a way to get students interested in geography. Since that time, the challenge has grown from 20 participating schools to more than 500, and has reached more than two million students across Canada.

Even though Mundare School is the only one in Elk Island Public Schools participating in the challenge, Vandais is hoping in the years to come, more schools will get involved in the challenge, and create a spark all their own.

Attention Lakeland REA Members Your fellow REAs believe in the REA co-operative principles and we encourage you to VOTE NO to selling your REA. PLEASE REALIZE THAT IF YOU VOTE TO SELL YOUR REA – IT IS GONE FOREVER! • Lakeland REA is a viable REA in a sound financial position – THERE IS NO NEED TO SELL – member asset value increases annually due to thorough, dedicated operations and maintenance of your system.

• Lakeland REA has 24/7/365 emergency service and responds immediately to calls because Lakeland REA is rural focused and Powerline Technicians only respond to you, the members – they don’t prioritize commercial clients or towns over rural member service.

• In the event of an emergency, your REA has mutual aid agreements with several other distribution systems operators located throughout the province including Battle River Power Coop, EQUS, North Parkland Power, Rocky REA and the City of Red Deer.

• Lakeland REA operates under a co-operative business model and abides by co-operative business principles. Members get to vote for their Board of Directors – people who live and work in your community not someone sitting in an office tower in Calgary.

Do you want to give up your member-owner status to become just another customer with a number?

Members of the Bruderheim Brownies, Sparks, Guides and Pathfinders are hosting a food drive on Saturday, March 19th.

They are hoping local residents will turn up in droves to support the Lamont County Food Bank.

The event will kick-off at 1 p.m. at the Bruderheim Moravian Church. There will be drive through service for anyone who wants to donate non-perishable items. Simply honk your horn and members will pick the items up right at the sidewalk.

Leader Amanda Gillingwater says, “This year, Bruderheim Guiding is bigger than ever, adding Girl Guides and a Pathfinder to the Sparks and Brownies ranks. Since last year was so much fun and the food

World Day of Prayer Michelle Pinon Editor

St. Bonaventure Roman Catholic Church in Chipman will be the local host of the 2016 World Day of Prayer on Friday, March 4th at 7 p.m.

Organizer Bonnie Mandryk said everyone is welcome to attend the interfaith celebration. Fellowship and refreshments will be at the Chipman Golden Seniors Centre following the service.

On March 4, Christians in more than 170 countries in 2,000 communities across Canada will gather to learn about, pray for, and celebrate Cuba in solidarity with the women of Cuba through the World Day of Prayer.

Besides economic isolation and material scarcity in Cuba, there has been isolation formed around people of faith in the official atheist state. But with the embargo between the United States and Cuba now being lifted, there is much uncertainty, but there is also hope, hope of spreading faith throughout the entire secular world.

The World Day of Prayer has its roots in an ecumenical day of prayer organized by women in Canada and the United States in 1920. The event became the International World Day of Prayer in 1922. Christians around the world began celebrating the event on the first Friday of March, and the tradition continues today.

brought in filled a great need in Lamont County, the girls and their leaders are repeating the event, in the hope of more community support, and even more donations this year.

The girls are once more planning to compile Birthday Party boxes, and encourage others to do the same. Bruderheim Guiding members are very grateful to the Bruderheim Moravian Church, Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) Lamont County Region, and Nicholas Plooy (our movie guru),” said Gillingwater.

The event will also feature a matinee of the movie The Good Dinosaur at 2 p.m.. There will be free popcorn and drink for as long as supplies last. Admission to the movie is a non-perishable donation.

Some of the items they are looking for are: pasta, pasta sauces, canned meats and fish, canned vegeta-

bles and fruit, peanut butter, soy, assorted nuts, soups, stews, beans, canned and powered milk, infant foods and baby formula, diapers, bathroom tissue, and personal hygiene products.

“The girls invite everyone to take some time on March 19th to either bring a non-perishable food donation and attend the movie, or to drive up to the church and honk to drop off food for the foodbank, helping local people in need,” added Gillingwater.

This will be the second year for the event, which Gillingwater said is the “brainchild” of Girl Guides of Canada members who go door to door and hold parades, collecting foodstuff for local food banks in the popular ‘Hike for Plenty’ event.

So heap the hamper, enjoy the entertainment, and help out needy families Lamont County.

Lamont County makes requests to landfill commission Michelle Pinon Editor

Even though the St. Michael Regional Solid Waste Commission recently implemented user fees, Lamont County council is requesting that any residential or farm related charges, be invoiced to the municipality, rather than having them pay up front.

Coun. Roy Anaka, made the motion at council’s February 16 meeting. The motion states: “Lamont County requests that the St.

Michael Landfill invoice Lamont County for any residential or farm related charges for fridges and freezers, mattresses and box springs, roofing material, and construction and demolition items, for Lamont County rural residents for the 2016 calendar year.”

Coun. Anaka said it was the feeling of council that rural residents should not have to pay for the out of pocket fees.

“The concern is that they (rural residents) didn’t have to pay for this before.” He went on to

say that if the commission needs more money for these items, then have the additional costs added into the requisition.

Because dumping of garbage in rural ditches and roads is a growing problem, Coun. Anaka said council feels this change would eliminate some of that type of illegal activity from happening in the county.

Anaka said he has received about three complaints from county residents in regards to the user fees, and knows from past experience that

more garbage will end up in the ditches if they are forced to pay user fees at the landfill.

While there is no easy answer to the problem of garbage being dumped in ditches and on roads, he feels there is no harm in trying this idea out for a year. Coun. Robert Malica agrees, and put forward a motion of his own asking the landfill to reduce their hours of operation on Tuesday by four hours, and extend hours of operation on Fridays by four hours to make it more convenient for rural residents who

work regular business hours. Malica said a lot of people work till 5 o’clock, and are not able to load and dump materials during regular hours of operation. He went on to say, the change would only apply during summer hours from April to September. “It’s worth trying, and if it doesn’t work, they can go back to their regular hours.”

Linda Davies, commission manager stated: “I can confirm that the Commission has now received letters from Lamont County with

respect to the motions passed at the February 16 meeting of council.

These letters will be placed before the Commission board for discussion at its next meeting which is scheduled for April 28th.

The Board will consider the letters, and take appropriate steps, if any.

Until the Board has had an opportunity to review the matter, it would not be appropriate for the Commission to comment further.”

I heard your voice in the wind today, and turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed me, as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today, as its warmth filled the sky; I closed my eyes for your embrace, and my spirit soared high.

I held you close in my heart today, it made me feel complete; you have passed... but you are not gone, you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines, rain falls... the wind blows; you will live on inside of me forever, for that is all my heart knows.

May the winds of love blow gently, and whisper so you can hear; how much we love and miss you, and wish that you were here.
