Interest up for online crime watch groups as public helps police our “dead zone” By Jana Semeniuk Colby Nemirsky, one of the directors of the Andrew Willingdon St. Michael (AWS) Rural Crime Watch Association, saw how facebook could help connect residents concerned about rural crime and decided to help. “I started the Andrew Willingdon St. Michael Rural Crime Watch facebook page when I got invited to a meeting a couple of years ago. I felt compelled and wanted to use social media to show what we do because it works and it’s fast,” he said. “Not everyone likes facebook, but it’s the one thing most people have.” Nemirsky added that the facebook page has assisted in the effort against crime, such as in the case of stolen vehicles. “Stolen vehicles get shared around the facebook page very quickly,” he said. “We had a vehicle driving around north of Andrew and it got reported from Andrew all the way to Bruderheim and the guy got arrested. A stolen truck with stolen plates and nothing matched.” He did point out sometimes the vehicles shared on facebook are not from criminals. “Sometimes people get upset that their vehicle was reported on the facebook page. It wasn’t stolen but looked suspicious,” Nemirsky said. “I ask them to think what if your vehicle was
“
spotted being driven by someone who wasn’t you and got reported: would you be happy about that? They agree right away that they would be.” Nemirsky said the facebook group contains just under 1,000 members and has been in operation for the past two years. He added the facebook group was a closed group at one time but is now a public group where potential members request admission and answer a couple of questions to join. “It’s important to know who is joining the group because sometimes people are Nemirsky joining for the wrong reasons,” he said. “We have RCMP members who are a part of the group and also help to screen it. They give us a heads up when they see a member who is a known criminal and we then remove them from the group.” Nemirsky acknowledged that crime seems to have risen in the past couple of years. “We used to have a lot of RCMP presence,” he said. “There used to be a detachment in Lamont, Andrew and Mundare. Now there is only a detachment in Two Hills and Fort Saskatchewan so this area is like a dead zone. We do have a peace officer but there is only so much he can do.” Nemirsky added that while the facebook group has membership approaching 1,000, the official AWS Rural Crime Watch Association has

Colby Nemirsky shown with his nephew while attending the Rural Crime Watch Perogy Dinner Nov. 15 membership sitting near 400 with 24 directors who accomplish most of the hands-on duties. “Membership to the association increased with the downturn in the economy and rise in crime,” he said. “The group has seen renewed interest and an increase in membership.” Constable Jonathan Cole, an RCMP from the Two Hills detachment, is in direct contact with the group and helps to patrol their areas in addition to areas of concern by residents.
“We have direct contact with Const. Cole,” said Nemirsky. “If he isn’t on call, we have someone else we can talk to right away. It seems to work pretty well.” Nemirsky added that for $20 members receive a lifetime membership to the AWS Rural Crime Watch Association after passing an approval process. In addition, members receive a yellow sign to put on your lawn signifying you are a part of the rural crime watch organization.

Rural Crime Watch top auction bidder also wins 50/50
BY JANA SEMENIUK One family had amazing luck while supporting a good cause. Wayne Tichkowsky, along with his wife, June, and their family, attended the Andrew Willingdon St. Michael (AWS) Rural Crime Watch perogy dinner Nov. 15 and were double winners. Auctioneers Danny Gowalko and Richard Mandryk were heading up the effort to see a child size John Deere Tractor sold to the highest bidder, which was Tichkowsky, at $525. “This is no ordinary child’s riding toy,” said
Allan Ropchan, director for AWS Rural Crime Watch Association. “It is a John Deere 12-volt battery operated tractor with an actual working front-end loader.” He added the tractor was donated by the Willingdon Fish and Game Association and valued at approximately $500. Ropchan is not only Director for AWS Rural Crime Watch Association but he also serves as the North East Zone 4 Provincial Director for the Provincial Rural Crime Watch Association. “We bought the tractor
for our grandson, Edward, who is 15 months old,” said Tichkowsky’s wife June. “He is our first grandchild.” Soon after the auction ended, representatives from the AWS Rural Crime Watch Association announced the winner of the evening’s 50/50 draw which was valued at $650. “Wayne Tichkowsky!” was announced over the PA system. “Won himself some money to pay for that John Deere tractor!” “Oh my God!” exclaimed June. “That is awesome!”

From Where I Sit: Changing and Evolving old knows that the pain and suffering endured by any and every discriminated group has life-altering (or life ending) consequences. Don Cherry’s family were immigrants, as were mine and yours. What difference does it make if the immigrants he was targeting came to Canada in March or in 1896? Immigrant is immigrant. Am I the
BY HAZEL ANAKA It is with trepidation that I weigh in on the Don Cherry matter. Trepidation because in conversations this week with a cross-section of people, I suspect my opinion is different. I’ve read and heard a great deal of analysis by mainstream media, talking heads, sports columnists. I haven’t watched a hockey game from start to finish in a few years so my impressions of Coach’s Corner are dated. Cherry was a provocateur, a poor communicator, a blowhard. He’s been a divisive force for decades. He glorified violence in the game---we’ve got a couple Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em VHS tapes to prove it--even as the game has evolved for the health of its players. When the story first broke, I chalked up his remarks to that of an eighty-fiveyear-old guy who hasn’t changed with the times. And the times have changed. I don’t remember who said it or in what context, but I was struck with how succinct and spot on the comments were for this and most other issues tearing us up right now. The guy said: slavery was okay until it wasn’t. Smoking was okay until it wasn’t. Discriminating against women or homosexuals was okay until it wasn’t. Let me add that hating (fearing) immigrants was okay until it wasn’t. Discriminating against the young; the old; people who are overweight, handicapped, poor, indigenous, farmers, bankers, Ukrainians, fillin-the-blank was okay until it wasn’t. ALL of us are some combination of those factors. Anyone more than a few years
only one who heard the word DP used to describe some people when I was a kid? Have you heard the hurtful names our ancestors were called? Were you not angry at the attempts by church or school to Anglicize your grandparents or parents as they were forced to fit into the Canadian way of life? You and I had as much say in our country
of birth as our eye colour. Zip, nada, none. It is sheer dumb luck that we were born in Canada. We did nothing to deserve it. Just as those born in Africa or Asia or anywhere in the world did nothing to choose (or deserve) their birthplace. So, let’s stop pretending Cherry’s remarks had anything to do with poppies. Wearing a poppy is an accepted
symbol of respect but it’s not the only one. Freedom of choice (wear a poppy or not) is just one of the things those soldiers fought for. Let’s call a spade a spade. Cherry has been offending all manner and nationality of people for decades. His oftdescribed charity work isn’t a free pass to be a bigot. It’s ironic that the day
after his firing was National Kindness Day. Can we just stop fearing/hating? Can we treat others as we wish to be treated? Can we heave a sigh of relief that Cherry’s platform has finally ended? Changing and evolving is a sign of enlightenment not weakness, from where I sit.

Opinion Arena deals profitable for billionaires Every time the billionaire owners of sports franchises want a new facility constructed, they claim they need public backing and usually receive it. So, I thought it was interesting that the Katz Group, after purchasing the Oilers and then being credited for building the Ice District and Rogers Place, is now planning to build another arena in Frankfurt, Germany. Katz Group CEO Jürgen Schreiber said the company wants to have a footprint in the space of building and managing arenas worldwide. No doubt, especially if they can secure the same sweet deal like they received in Edmonton. Katz Group is paying $137.8 million towards Rogers Place, but $112.8 million of that is for renting the building for 35 years (at which point they will be requiring a new building no doubt). That’s only $3.2 million per year rent for a company (Edmonton Oilers) earning $145 million in revenue and worth a reported $540 million. As well, Katz Group takes responsibility for all expenses in operating the facility but receives all operating revenue including naming rights purchased by Rogers for 10 years. Although I can’t seem to come up with a yearly naming rights price, would it be crazy to believe the naming rights amount from Rogers covered Katz Group’s yearly rent all by itself? The City of Edmonton’s contribution to Rogers Place was $226 million with another $125 million collected through a ticket surcharge. In other words, taxpayers essentially paid for the facility and hockey fans are paying the rest. However, neither gets reimbursed through the profits of the facility. It seems like the Katz Group got a better deal on their new arena than the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC), which essentially split their $550 million arena with the City of Calgary. CSEC, by the way, is owned by four businessmen who are worth every bit as much as the Katz Group. After the City of Calgary turned down a three-way split in 2017, they agreed to a deal this year that cost them an extra $50 million while CSEC’s portion is exactly the same as turned down previously. Like the Edmonton deal, the one in Calgary is for 35 years and CSEC will operate the facility, pay expenses and reap all revenues. The City of Calgary will own the building which like Edmonton will have little value in 35 years as both the Oilers previous building and the Saddledome in Calgary lasted little more than 40 years each. The lessons learned from these two deals are: 1) these new facilities create opportunities in the surrounding areas and are good for civic pride. 2) Large entertainment opportunities are presented to the cities due to the new facilities which can handle modern technology and heavy equipment. 3) World class sports franchises like the Oilers and Flames attract attention to their home cities in valuable international publicity. 4) Councillors are not equipped to negotiate with world class entrepreneurs operating international businesses.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Feds to call our retirement income a benfit payment The Canada Pension cheque is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" This touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to our pension but our employers did too. It totalled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in pension. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in a pension ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meagre 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon
retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Old Age Pension benefit of $1,230 per month. And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most averageincome people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interestearning accounts. Instead, the folks in Ottawa pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them.
And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to our pensions. Demand that our MPs bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Canada Pension going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. Peter Brown

Former Mayor has list of concerns for Lamont council, from maintenance jobs to beautification BY JOHN MATHER Former Lamont town councillor and Mayor, Steven Sharun, appeared before council Nov. 12 to chastise the community on its overall look and offer some suggestions on how to make the community a better place to live. “I’ve sent an email to the Alberta municipal government to ask if they could help us by giving us some advice on how we can get an efficiency and maintenance report on our town.” He added the community had never had an outside person come in and do an assessment of the town business and how they do things. He added nor had Lamont ever had some come in and assess the town maintenance department. “We have, for the past 20 years, hired our own local maintenance people with no experience other than what they have learned from their supervisors.” “I feel we need some experienced help in doing our jobs better because right now we are still doing maintenance the same way we did 20 years ago.” He pointed out a few areas where he felt there were deficiencies. One was the boneyard which had old buildings and junk laying around. He felt it could be a possible fire hazard with a lot of wooden material laying around. A second area of concern was the lay-down yard next to the tennis courts, which had sand and shale piles in “very untidy condition.” He indicated he had concerns about what he called a garbage dump near the Edna subdivision. He said where he used to have a nice view all the way to Highway 29 to the north, now was a obstructed view of a pile of contaminated dirt. “This site has no need to be there in the first place,” he said. “Now I would like to see the pile removed. You could use the contaminated soil to
fill up the hole on the east side, which I think is very unsafe.” He called the area an eyesore and said the soil was all contaminated with asphalt, cement, waste water and other debris. Other concerns he had included the maintenance on the town office lawns, and bylaws he felt weren’t being enforced by the town. I know we want to make our community look nice,” he said. “It would be nice if they could put some fertilizer down to make the grass turn green. And if they don’t have time to cut the grass at the town office, I could do that.” Sharun also had concerns with the parking bylaw in town which he felt wasn’t being enforced correctly. “People are parking trailers on the street or in their yard with no pad underneath it,” he said. “We need to get that corrected and I don’t think anyone should be exempt from it. The trailers shouldn’t be parked at their homes for extended periods.” “In addition I’ve noticed over the past few years there are more semi-trailers parked on
the streets and that’s not good for our roads. They should park where they’re supposed to park.” He further wondered if the town gave out tickets to unsightly businesses and residences. Sharun had additional concerns about the conditions of back alleys in town and wondered if the town still graded those or not. Many of the alleys he felt could use some gravel being spread. Other concerns included patching and potholes on the main street and whether the town could buy some packing equipment to repair the back alleys. He asked council if they would like him to continue to see if he could get municipal affairs to do an assessment of the community. “Do you want me to stop here and would you like to take the ball from here?” asked Sharun. “I’d like to see you guys take some more responsibility.” Councillor Al Harvey told Sharun his report was very well thought out, but said he wouldn’t get any support from municipal affairs, because as a public

Crime affects victims years later
DO I HEAR $525? Auctioneers Danny Gowalko and Richard Mandryk ask for a bid of $500 during the live auction for a child size John Deere tractor donated by the Willingdon Fish and Game Association to the Andrew Willingdon St. Michael Rural Crime Watch Association's perogy dinner fundraiser Nov. 15. Wayne Tichkowsky was the highest bidder at $525.
Want to help?
BY JANA SEMENIUK Carol Lynn Babiuk, a longtime resident of the Andrew area, had a brush with rural crime 24 years ago she said which still affects her today. “Our home was broken into twice right before we first moved in,” she said. “Fortunately, we had good neighbours who reported it. They caught the individuals who just got their fingers slapped and then they were out.” Babiuk said the event still weighs on her mind. “I felt absolutely violated. Even to now when I drive into the yard, I look around to make sure everything is as it should be,” she said. “Since then we have put in a security system.” Babiuk recently attended the Andrew Willingdon St. Michael (AWS) Rural Crime Watch perogy dinner fundraiser held on Nov. 15. She added that she sees value in having the organization. “Neighbours looking out for each other make it a lot easier to catch the crooks,” said Babiuk. “By having an active crime watch in the area it helps keep the criminals at bay and hopefully sends them out of the area.”
She added that she is happy to support the initiatives of the AWS Rural Crime Watch fundraiser. “It’s good to see such a good turnout for this event,” said Babiuk. “Especially when the funds are going to specific things.” The AWS Rural Crime Watch held their second annual perogy dinner fundraiser on Nov. 15
raising funds for special marking pens that residents can use to mark their valuables as well as special readers for each of the four police detachments to identify the marks on recovered property. Funds were also being used to help replace rural crime watch lawn signs for members of the organization.

Taxation rules change won’t impact Lamont pot growers BY JOHN MATHER A change in how industrial cannabis operations are charged taxes in rural Alberta won’t impact the grow operation in Lamont County. According to Lamont chief financial officer Roberta Malysh the Pure Life Cannabis Corp. operation in Chipman is currently zoned commercial so their taxation won’t be impacted. “The site they’re currently building on is zoned commercial and so its assessment is commercial. Since they are not operational yet, I can’t tell you what the impact on the County would be.” She added they do have an additional piece of land which is farmland but nothing has been developed on it yet. At the Rural Municipalities of Alberta conference last week in Edmonton, Municipal Affairs minister Kaycee Madu made the announcement that cannabis operations would be able to be taxed by municipalities at commercial rates beginning in 2020, rather than being assessed as farmland which made them tax exempt. RMA president Al Kemmere said the rural and urban municipalities had been pushing for the change, as the size of the facilities had put a strain on some municipalities. Kemmere added that in a small municipality that had an operation consisting of a million square feet, the extra rev-
and are waiting for the appeal period to pass to see if there are any formal objections to its development. “We’re still going ahead,” said Nicole Mozel, one of the principals of Alberta Keef. “We’ve been approved but there’s a 45-day waiting period for anyone to appeal the permit.” She added if approved development wouldn’t start until the spring. Mozel said the taxation changes wouldn’t be the biggest change. “There’s always going to be changes by governments,” she said. “Sometimes you like them and other times not, but we’ll work with it and carry on.” Malysh said she couldn’t comment on the Keef operation at all because they hadn’t been approved yet.
enue could be huge. When reached by phone, last week, Pure Life CEO, David Dhiman said he wasn’t sure how the change would affect his operations. “We haven’t really given it too much thought because we’re not in production yet,” he said. With the facility being located in a commercially zoned area, the affect will be nothing. The taxation changes may also affect Alberta Keef Inc. a small cannabis operation planned for the Andrew area. The operators of it held an open house recently in Andrew to brief the public on their operation as they were in the midst of applying for a development permit from the County. The company has now applied for the permit

Group seeks council for playground rebuilds BY JOHN MATHER Members of the Friends of Lamont Elementary School Society appeared before Lamont Council, Nov. 12, to outline their plans to construct new playgrounds at the school and seek support for the project. President Delane Zacharko and parent volunteer Allison Cossey made the pitch to council. “Our group is strictly to fundraise for whatever the school needs,” explained Zacharko. “We work with the school to find out what the school’s needs are and then we can fundraise for it.” She said because they are a society they are able to host casinos and raise money in ways the school itself can’t. She told council fundraising had started three years ago to raise money to replace the current Grades 3/4 playground area, but as they moved forward with the project, they discovered the Grades 5/6 playground had reached its maximum lifespan also and would have to be replaced. “When we started on these projects we had about $75,” she explained. “Through bake sales, raffles, kids art sales and doughnut fundraisers, as well as a casino event, we have managed to raise $51,000 to date.” But the project has an estimated fundraising goal of $250,00 and the group needs to raise $70,000 before the Elk Island Public School District can put the project out to tender. The group also has found a grant writer and is writing grant applications to raise monies for the project. Cossey presented council with diagrams showing the playground areas and the lifespans of each piece of equipment. Most of the Grades 3/4 structures had been installed around 1995 and had a 20 years lifecycle. The grades 5/6 structures faired a little better with one tire swing having been removed this year while other pieces were reported to be in fair condition. She added once the
final design package was arrived at they would be canvassing local business to assist with fundraising. In addition to explaining the project to council, the group wanted a letter of support from the town so they could include it with any grant applications they filled out. “And then of course we’d like a little bit of financial support,” she said. “It would be good to have the community support. We’re asking for your help to contribute financially to this endeavour.” She mentioned other communities in the area, that had supported community projects, but admitted it is a tough economy to be seeking funding. Councillor Dave Taylor asked which grants they were applying for and wondered if Elk Island Schools provided any funding. Cossey said to the best of her knowledge EIPS didn’t provide any funding. She added they had a list of grants which they could supply to him. Councillor Perry Koroluk asked if the Friends had liability insurance since they were building the playgrounds.
“It turns out we are liable for some things,” replied Zacharko. “So we have bought insurance. Elk Island Schools would be maintaining the playgrounds once they were built.” When asked she said they had to have the playground supplier install the playgrounds and there could be very little parent or community involvement in building the playgrounds because the warranties become void on the equipment. When Koroluk asked if volunteers could possibly be used to do ground preparations, Cossey again said no, because it would void the playground equipment warranties. She added they weren’t sure if volunteers could be used to remove the existing equipment or whether they might be able to sell the used equipment to help offset costs. The group added they planned on meeting with Lamont County officials at their next council meeting. Mayor Bill Skinner thanked the group for their presentation and stated that council would be getting back in touch with them regarding their requests.

Andrew Willingdon St. Michael holds second annual fundraising dinner Special marking pens will help police identify stolen property BY JANA SEMENIUK The St. Michael Recreation Centre was bursting at the seams with attendees at the Andrew Willingdon St Michael (AWS) Rural Crime Watch’s annual perogy dinner held on Nov. 15. “We had an excess of 300 people here tonight,” said Rural Crime Watch president Tom Adamyk. “It was sold out!” Adamyk explained the fundraiser helps to provide much needed equipment that assists in battling the crime problem in the area. “This year we are raising money to purchase special marking pens for people to use to mark their valuable items and readers that police detachments use to read the ink on those items,” explained Adamyk. “This will help identify the owners of stolen property that is recovered. It’s old technology but it’s improved a bit over the years.” Adamyk added that the pens cost approximately $36 each. The group is hoping to purchase 50 pens to begin with and sell them at their upcoming information meeting in Feb. The information meeting will feature guest speakers as well as a meal of beef on a bun. He added that in the past, fundraisers of the AWS Rural Crime Watch Association included selling raffle tickets which, as he explained, was ‘like pulling teeth and took forever’. Last year was the first year for the perogy dinner. The funds were used to help sponsor guest speakers to their information evenings as well as replace lawn signage for members. Adamyk explained that the group instituted some improvements to the fundraising dinner this year including two additional serving tables to help facilitate meals, as well as a live auction to compliment the silent auction. “We had people eating in 25 minutes this year
with four serving tables instead of two,” said Adamyk. “We also had double the number of auction items for the silent and live auctions.” He attributed the increase in donations to good networking and solid volunteers. Adamyk’s wife Mae, who also serves as director for the AWS Rural Crime Watch association, felt the live auction was a good addition to the fundraiser. “We had quite a few local auctioneers who wanted to donate their
time and skill to the event, so we decided to have a live auction as well this year,” she said. “The live auction definitely added to the night. It was entertaining and they all had their own style of auctioneering which was great to see.” AWS Rural Crime Watch association has been in operation for over 20 years but been especially active over the past couple of years. Final fundraising totals were not available at the time of publishing.

The craft sale in the memorial hall was packed and prompted Santa to say he might send the elves to the sale so they could ‘shop local.’ For Gracelynn it was her fifth year coming to see the jolly old fellow.
