Full Stop: Opponents of Range Road 201 closure voice objections at public hearing Michelle Pinon Editor
The seats in the gallery were nearly full last Tuesday morning as 25 people gathered in Lamont County council chambers for the public hearing into the proposed road closure bylaw on Range Road 201. Speaking in favour of the proposed road closure was Darcy Heggie, President of Alberta Midland Railway Terminal (AMRT). He kept his comments brief, but said his proposed development would be a “strong, strong catalyst for economic growth and development” and that it was his belief it would encourage world class global corporations to Lamont County. Heggie has owned property in that area since 2013, and said he was committed to keeping his business in Lamont County. Wayne Woldanski, who chaired the public hearing then asked if anyone else wanted to speak in favour of the bylaw. No one else came forward, but Coun. Roy Bryks took the opportunity to make a comment. “Thank you for that. It opens up a lot of avenues for us. Without people like you, (referring to Heggie), bringing your companies here, we’d have nothing, and I’m
talking about the Industrial Heartland.” Douglas Jenkins, the lawyer representing local landowner Robert Kottke, was the first to speak against the road closure. “He’s the one I expect to be more impacted than any of the other interested parties.” Jenkins gave the legal land description of the lands and buildings Kottke owns, that his personal business is the repair and maintenance of farm equipment and trucks, and is the primary source of his income. He also receives rent from the pasture of 40 acres and crop lands of 100 acres, and the oil and gas leases. AMRT owns the property immediately to the north of Kottke. While Kottke had received several offers from AMRT, Jenkins said those offers have decreased substantially over the past two years with the latest offer of $30,000 per acre. In his written statement, Jenkins stated: “It is obviously no coincidence that this coincides with the decision of Lamont County to seek the passing of a bylaw that, if it is approved and withstands court challenges, will result in the closure of Range Road 201 along the west boundary of the Kottke lands and AMRT will have its rail link.”
Jenkins began asking several questions regarding easement right-ofway, set back requirements, nature of the access road the county proposed to build as well as maintenance when chair Wayne Woldanski interjected and said he had used up his amount of allotted time, to which Jenkins replied: “I will take as long as I feel to make the required comments.” Jenkins then continued by saying the the county had not been forthcoming with the type of road, width, maintenance, snow removal, and set backs from the battery site. “Alternate access would be of great expense to the county.” He said he was not aware of any road study being done. He went on to say that the rail project was AMRT’s project, and they (AMRT) stand to make a lot of money off of that. Jenkins felt the county had not been forthcoming, and was being prejudicial in the interests of his client. He also wanted to know how much it would cost the county to provide alternate access to Mr. Kottke. “What’s it costing taxpayers?” He also pointed out that if they don’t get an easement, the county would be land locking his client. In the end, the person most
affected by the development would be Mr. Kottke. That comment drew some applause from a couple of people in the gallery. Jenkins said that because the county decided to venture into the fray, it has become a deterrent to his client. “Maybe no one cares about Mr. Kottke…but that’s why we’re here.” Sylvia Holowach asked if an assessment had been done or an economic assessment by a third party or a traffic count on that road? She also asked if oil and gas companies, and utility companies had been notified of the proposed closure? She wanted to know who was going to pay for all the the accesses that would be required. She said that those costs should be at the cost of county ratepayers, but the parties requesting the closure. Holowach said she received a document from Alberta

Rolling, filling, pinching perogies Michelle Pinon Editor
Volunteers with the Lamont Community Fair & Perogy Festival have set a new record. It may or may not be a world record but they made a total of 10,700 perogies during a recent three day work bee. “We did that on April 26, 27 and 28, and had approximately 40 volunteers each day,” stated Gail Hrehorets, chair of the fair committee. This will be the third annual Lamont Community Fair & Perogy Festival, and this year it will be extended to become a two day event. “It will be a great time, and there will be something for everyone,” promises Hrehorets. The event will kickoff Friday, June 23rd with a tractor pull.
Everyone loves a parade, and that event is slated to begin on Saturday, June 24 around 11 a.m. and participants will wind their way through the streets of Lamont.

Opinion Most abundant greenhouse gas is not CO2-it’s water vapour Would you be surprised to know that when it comes to the greenhouse gases vilified by climate alarmists, the primary culprit is water vapour? In Jeff Jacoby’s Boston Globe report on Scott Pruitt (the new head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), it’s noted that CO2 is certainly a heat-trapping greenhouse gas, but hardly the primary one. The report states: “Water vapor accounts for about 95% of greenhouse gases. By contrast, carbon dioxide is only a trace component in the atmosphere: about 400 ppm (parts per million), or 0.04%. Moreover, its warming impact decreases sharply after the first 20 or 30 ppm. Adding more CO2… to the atmosphere is like painting over a red wall with white paint—the first coat does most of the work of concealing the red. A second coat… has much less of an effect, while adding a third or fourth… has almost no impact.”
Alarmists and those vilifying CO2 often overlook the fact that the list of variables affecting climate is not restricted to carbon dioxide. Important factors include sunspots, solar activity, volcanoes, clouds, changes in the earth’s rotation, ocean cycles, and much more. Patrick Moore says that climate alarmists ignore these many factors. For decades, Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field. Co-founder of Greenpeace, he served nine years as president of Greenpeace Canada and seven as a Greenpeace International director. He holds an earned Ph.D. in ecology. Moore says he quit the environmental movement when it traded science for radical activism. He says that after the Berlin Wall came down, peace activists were drawn to the environmental movement, and brought their far-left agendas with them.
“The environmental movement was hijacked by political and social activists who learned to use green language to cloak agendas that had more to do with anti-capitalism… than with science or ecology,” Moore says. Moore also explains why the UN’s Climate Change Panel (IPCC) can’t be trusted by its very mandate: “By its constitution, the IPCC has a hopeless conflict of interest. Its mandate is to consider only the human causes of global warming, not the many natural causes changing the climate.” Moore further states that if the UN’s IPCC didn’t find humans responsible for global warming, they’d all be out of a job. All throughout earth’s history, Moore says, CO2 levels have been drawn down steadily by plants, from around 3,000 ppm to roughly 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution. If that trend had continued, he says, “the car-
On the Record Off the Record At a recent town council meeting the topic of “off the record” came up. A councillor said “off the record” and looked at me directly, then stated what they wanted to say. It is customary for the reporter to acknowledge verbally if they are in agreement or not. Occasionally, a shake of the head indicating yes or no is done. I did neither. Then the chief administrative officer stated there is no such thing as “off the record.” Yes there is such a thing as off the record, but the reporter has to say whether they are in agreement or not. If a councillor, and/or administrator proceeds without first having verification by the reporter they run the risk that the comment could be repeated publicly. Of course, trust and ethics come in to play. Journalists are expected to abide by many different guidelines, so it is important that everyone operates under the same meaning to begin with. It’s beneficial for both parties to be on the same page if and when these situations arise, otherwise it could create misunderstandings. As far as mistakes in the newspaper, if the mistake was on my part I will correct it. If something needs clarification, I will clarify it. But the big BUT is that I have to have knowledge of a mistake in order to be aware of the mistake, verification that it was my mistake, and then correct it. Assuming something is never a good idea. Ever. Michelle Pinon

bon dioxide level would have become too low to support life on Earth.” Moore says that burning fossil fuel and clearing land for crops helped boost CO2 from its lowest level in history to roughly 400 ppm today. Even so, he adds, plants remain on a CO2 “starvation diet,” because the optimum level of CO2 for plant growth is about 1,500 ppm. Moore summarizes by saying that the followers of the UN’s IPCC “have given us a vision of a world dying because of CO2 emissions. [Yet] the earth would be a lot deader with no CO2, and more of it will be a very positive factor in feeding the world. [We should] celebrate carbon dioxide.” Kevin Avram Grassroots Alberta

From Where I Sit: A Deeper Dimension
By Hazel Anaka Is there some activity you engage in that makes time stand still? Something that so clearly grabs your heart and mind that hours pass unnoticed. Something that pulls you in to that meditative blissed-out place where life is good and all else falls away. In my case, it’s always solitary. And maybe that jibes with the whole introvert thing I’ve recently awoken to in my
own life. Maybe for others, it takes others to get to that state. Recently I spent a wonderful few hours making jewelry. It wasn’t the first time, won’t be the last. It felt special though because I ‘chose me’. I carved out the time to do it, assembled the supplies I needed, left the dirty dishes in the sink, and did what pleased me. It’s not a particularly straightforward process for me because I’m allergic to nickel. The jewelry I buy or make has to be either gold or stainless steel. Using beads made of wood, glass, or acrylic also solves the problem providing I don’t use findings made of offending materials. Extra long strands of beads also work. I’ve also wound ribbon over metal hardware on purchased pieces to prevent them from touching my skin. Using crystals like amethyst, sodalite, moonstone, fluorite, car-
nelian, peridot, and turquoise to make bracelets and necklaces allows me to combine my love of colour and jewelry making with the healing properties of the stones. Sometimes it’s as simple as adding a leather cord to a purchased jasper or adventurine pendant. Voila. Like many hobbyists, I’ve gone off the deep end studying, reading about, buying, buying the requisite (and some that aren’t!) tools, supplies, accouterments to feed the habit. Multiply that by the number of interests one has and you’ve got some serious coin and time invested. So, if you don’t go overboard reading, restoring cars, knitting, baking, bird watching, golfing, or whatever your vice, you don’t know what you’re missing. To be caught up in a creative or other pursuit that nurtures your soul, builds your expertise, exploits your talent, and
often produces something tangible is a gift. To become so engrossed in the project at hand as to forget your troubles is a small miracle. As I write this it occurs to me that maybe I’ve made a terrible assumption. Just because I’ve been obsessed with things over the course of my life, doesn’t mean anyone, everyone else has. As a young wife I got into needle arts (petit point and cross-stitch). I stayed up into the wee hours thinking I’ll just finish this section or this colour. I worked til my eyes burned and my butt was numb. Nuts, huh? Maybe. But if not, it’s something to consider. Searching for that which speaks to your heart and creativity. Finding ways to add another deeper dimension to our lives. And if that means a funky chunky new bracelet better yet, from where I sit.

Andrew School hosted its annual Motherʼs Day Tea for parents, students and community members. Mr. Kennerd, the schoolʼs principal mention that the Motherʼs Day Tea event is about honouring our mothers, Babas, and anyone in a motherly role who are the heart and soul of our community. The school has been hosting the tea for over 20 years and has been a big community event.
Mundare town council has agreed to continue its support of the RCMP School Resource Officer (SRO) Program for another three years. Coun. Frank Rosypal reported to council colleagues that he had attended a recent parent council meeting, and the feedback he received from the school principal and staff was all positive. Rosypal said it is important to invest in the youth of the community, and made the motion to continue funding the SRO Program for three years at a cost of $3,000 per year. The motion passed unanimously. The town had previously been allocating $2,000 a year for the SRO program. The Town of Mundare is one of several local municipalities as well as Elk Island Public Schools which fund the program that is offered at other
schools in the area. Mundare School Principal Liane Schultz said they are very happy that Mundare town council has committed to continuing their support with the SRO Program. “The SRO helps assist the school in providing a safe and caring place of learning,” stated Schultz. “Their primary mandate is educational, and they work with students, families, and administration on prevention and intervention.” She went on to say, “Constable Gagnon, the SRO, is very visible within our school community and has worked diligently at building relationships with our students. At times, Constable Gagnon is present in meetings to provide a legal perspective on the concerns that are being addressed. Constable Gagnon also teaches the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistence Education) Program to our Grade 6 students.”
Cat owner expresses concern Michelle Pinon Editor
A Lamont resident is hoping to warn other pet owners in her neighbourhood after her cat turned seriously ill recently. Barbara Tessier who lives in the area of 56 Avenue and 49 Street in Lamont said one day her cat Snowball returned home and one side of her body was completely covered in black residue. “The next morning she was not feeling well and when I went to wipe it off, her fur fell off and there were what appeared to be burn marks on the surface of the skin,” stated Tessier, who has lived in the community for the past 30 years. She describes the black residue as black oily substance that looked like soot, and smelled like smoke. Then Snowball stopped eating and drinking, and began meowing in pain. “She was burned on her legs and belly,” said Tessier, who took her cat to the vet who inserted an IV under her skin, and had to feed her through a breathing tube for more than a week.
Te s s i e r s a i d Snowball has just started to eat and drink on her own MICHELLE PINON PHOTO a g a i n .

Rising to the challenge
The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, May 16, 2017 - 9
Full steam ahead for Elk Island Public students engineering theory through the college while completing high school and also apprenticing at Scotford,” says Luke Farrell, a Grade 11 student from Lamont High who is taking part in the program. “It’s a huge deal. Some people have to wait two years or more to just find a placement to log the time to become certified as a fourth-class power engineer.” Lamont High principal, Sharon McLean, says that’s the goal of the partnership. “The working world is incredibly competitive,” she says. “Many power-engineering students face a long wait list for workplace training and that has a direct impact in terms of finding a position down the road. For those students who already have their eye on a rewarding career in the trades, partnerships like the one we have with Shell Canada and Northern Lakes College give them an invaluable advantage.” SUBMITTED PHOTO For Shell Canada, proTom Prince, a production team member at Shell Scotford, left, and Lamont High viding local students School student Luke Farrell. SUBMITTED ARTICLE A three-way partnership between Shell Canada, Northern Lakes College and Lamont High is helping students interested in power engineering get a head start. Power engineers supervise, operate and maintain machinery and
boilers that provide steam, power, heat, refrigeration and other utility services to industrial and commercial facilities. It’s a sector with lots of rewards but it can sometimes be challenging to get a foot in the door. Over the course of the last two years,
Lamont High students have been given the coveted opportunity to gain steam time at Shell Canada’s Scotford upgrader in Strathcona County and complete course work through Northern Lakes Colleges. “I am taking power
Absenteeism addressed during Andrew council meeting Michelle Pinon Editor
Village of Andrew Councillor Osama Hamed was noticeably absent during the regularly monthly council meeting May 10. It was the third consecutive meeting Coun. Hamed has not attended. Mayor Heather Tait said Coun. Hamed had already missed three months of meetings, and did not know if he was planning to attend in the future. Tait said she had sent several emails asking for a response, and stated: “I’ve had no communication or response from him.” Chief Administrative Officer Pat Skoreyko told members of council he is currently on medical leave. The very same issue was raised a couple of years ago when Deputy Mayor Mona Mitchell-Frampton had to miss several meetings due to medical circumstances. In fact, on April 22, 2015 Coun. Eldon Feniak made the motion: “That the monthly council fee be adjusted and prorated according to attendances for all council meetings, functions or other council business as required, unless the absence is medical or emergency supported by documentation or by resolution of council.” Coun. Hamed did confirm that he had supplied a letter from his doctor to the village. He did not make arrangements for another member of council
to attend the last two meetings of the public library. As there is no designated alternate for the public library, Mayor Tait said it was important to have council representation on the board, and asked Coun. Feniak or Coun. Mitchell-Frampton, who were in attendance, if either of them could attend in Coun. Hamed’s absence? Coun. Feniak said he could, but did not want to step on any toes, by agreeing to do so. Mayor Tait said there had been no conversations, communication or reciprocation from Coun. Hamed, despite her attempts to receive a verbal or written response. “We’ve been left in limbo with it, and I need a council representative to attend,” noted Tait. Coun. Feniak then said he would attend the public library board meetings in Coun. Hamed’s stead if he is unable to attend. According to Section 174 (2) A councillor is not disqualified by being absent from regular council meetings under subsection 1(d) if the absence is authorized by a resolution of council passed (a) at any time before the end of the last regular meeting of the council in the 8 week perord, or (b) if there is no other regular meeting of the council during the 8 week period, at any time before the end of the next regular meeting of the council.
with a chance to learn on the job is an investment in the success of the organization. “We’re proud to be able to provide opportunities like this to students who live in our community,” says Conal MacMillan, Shell Scotford’s external relations advisor. “It’s critical to us to continue developing our partnerships with local schools to be able to build our
future skilled workforce.” Luke Farrell is grateful for the partnership. “My brother and one of our friends went through the same program,” he says. “They both have successful careers in the sector, which they attribute in large part to this program. I’m really lucky that Shell Canada has given me that chance!”

Fort Air elects new chair
SUBMITTED ARTICLE Fort Saskatchewan resident Allan Wesley was elected Fort Air Partnership’s (FAP) new Chair on May 8. He replaces Keith Purves, who stepped down from the position but remains as Vicechair. Wesley is a Decision Sciences instructor at Grant MacEwan University who holds degrees in Finance, Actuarial Science and Economics. A Fort Saskatchewan resident, Allan joined the FAP Board in 2015 as a public member because he was interested in the process of collecting air quality data and communicating that data to the public in a meaningful way. “Fort Air Partnership plays a very important role regionally and provincial because we produce the data that so many people and organizations rely on for programming, to do planning and policy development, to conduct research, and to scientifically understand the quality of the air we breathe,� said Wesley.

Lamont firefighter Scott Calder, above, along with Kevin Price took on the Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge in Calgary on May 7. Michelle Pinon Editor
Nothing could have prepared Scott Calder for the Firefighter Starclimb Challenge, or his counterpart and friend Kevin Price for that matter. But the Lamont firefighters didn’t hesitate and took it one step at a time until they had conquered 1,204 steps to reach the top of Calgary’s BOW Building. They were two of around 500 firefighters who ascend 775 feet. Starting at 3,400 feet above sea level, the climb is the highest elevation firefighter stairclimb in the world! “I started around 11 a.m. and finished at 11:42 ish. Kevin finished around 11:39 a.m.” The firefighters walked in procession to the building. Scott said it was really exciting, and during the exhausting climb he was thinking he had to finish no matter what. It was not easy, and Scott said the heat, weight, and effort was definitely hard on the body. “I have gained a new respect for firefighters that have to do these volume of stairs.” It was a great feeling to finish, and they enjoyed the unity, camaraderie, and great sense of accomplishment, all the while helping to raise awareness and support for firefighters and citizens living with cancer. The two firefighters raised $400, and said they will be definitely returning for the challenge next year to help out the Calgary Firefighters Benevolent Society. “We hope to have a couple more members come with us.”
Lamont County council reversed an earlier decision, agreeing to allow the burning of unharvested crops, at its May 9 meeting.
In a request for decision, Lamont County Regional Fire Chief Dave Zayonce stated: “Due to numerous unharvested fields and the window to begin seeding operations approaching quickly, many landowners
require the ability to remove unharvested crops in a quick and safe manner. Even though there is no cost associated with the permits, there are a number of requirements that must be met first by
landowners. Permits will be issued until June 16. Fire permits will also be issued for 4X4 piles of materials, except for muskeg and peat moss land, until October 31 of this year.
Proposed closure of Range Road discussed Cont’d from Page 1 “Why the secrecy?” Holowach said she talked to the councillor in her division (Robert Malica), who had been sworn to secrecy because of a confidentiality agreement, which left her without representation. An attendee also said that regardless, more land would have to be purchased from the east or west to widen the road in order to accomodate the development. Chair Woldanski said he was not sure what AMRT would require. The question of compensation to landowners versus the benefits of industrial development was also bandied about. Holowach said the
company that is interested in development should come forward with details, so members of the public will know what’s going on. Coun. Malica asked: “We aren’t going to give second and third reading today?” Singleton said that would be discussed privately. Local landowner Stewart Maschmeyer said he has rented Mr. Kottke’s land since the early ’90’s, and while he’s “all for” development, he’s fundamentally opposed to ratepayers footing the bill for that. “The cost of the land is minuscule to the value of the entire project.” He added that the notion of chasing industry away for land values is ridicu-

lous. He said he sold a parcel four years ago and received $40,000 an acre, and pointed out the sale of the property along Highway 15 was because the land went into receivership, and that property was classified as farm land and not industrial. Maschmeyer said “money can solve this sole issue” and encouraged the parties to get back to the bargaining table. That sentiment was reiterated by Jenkins. “This deal can be done in no time, and that would make the road closure unnecessary.” Cholak said he would also like to see some negotiation on it, and urged the parties to sit down with Mr. Kottke and Tervita to hammer
things out. “That road should be open.” While the land is a small piece of the puzzle, it currently is the sticking point, and Singleton said the company that is interested in setting up business there won’t go above its limit. “I believe the conditions will be met,” added Singleton, and that the Minister of Transportation would have to sign off on the road closure before they could move forward. Members of the gallery were informed that if they have concerns they will have the opportunity to address council. Discussions between the affected parties are expected to take place over the next couple of months.
