Santa spotted at Andrew Christmas Market
Two-year-old Grayson Weldon, from Fort Saskatchewan, wasn’t too impressed sitting on Santa’s lap during the Andrew Christmas market, Nov. 25. While he squirmed quite a bit and really couldn’t supply his list of wishes for Christmas gifts, Santa still made sure he had a gift at the end of his visit.

Minor Hockey Results
Two wins for Peewee Hawks
Lamont Atoms remain unbeaten after 11-3 win over Barrhead KERRY ANDERSON These are some of the results from the Northern Alberta Interlock Minor Hockey League games held recently. (Please note that scores and scoring is taken from the website, and some game scores and scoring is dependent on proper league entries. Deadline is typically Sunday evenings, so if scores are not noted they may have been entered after this time (nainterlock.com).

Bruderheim Tier 4 Atoms (1-2-0) lost a 10-8 game at Fort Saskatchewan on Friday after having a 5-1 lead midway through the game. FS scored seven unanswered goals in the third before Bruderheim got back on track at the end, but it was too late. Andrew Svitich (3g 1a) and Kayden Winslow (3g) both had hat tricks for Bruderheim. Jacob Kofluk (1g 2a) and Wyatt Bartz also scored. Everett

badly outplayed in the third allowing three goal including the winner. Connor Kardash (2g) and Seth Williams scored for Lamont, while assists went to Evan Shields and Dietrich Derksen. Connor Foulds almost stole the win for Lamont, making 61 saves in the game and recording a .938 save percentage. Mundare's Brandon Kowal scored a goal for his AAA Bantam Fort Saskatchewan Rangers in a 6-0 win over Sherwood Park Flyers on Sunday.
JOHN MATHER The Lamont Peewee Hawks got on the winning side of the ledger in two games played Nov 24 and 25. Playing in Leduc on Nov.24, the Hawks edged the home team by a 9-8 score. Emerson Hauch led the Hawks scoring with five goals and three assists. The line of Hauch, Alex Andruchow and Cameron Olechow had a strong game with Andruchow adding two goals and assisting on three. Dylan Onusko and Teagan Stetsko had single markers in the win. Leduc opened the scoring but Lamont rebounded tallying a pair before Leduc responded to tie the game. Adding one more, Leduc took a 3-2 lead to the dressing room after one period. Lamont quickly
evened the match in the second before Leduc again popped a pair to take the lead. Lamont tied the game before the end of the period with late goals from Onusko and a short-handed marker from Hauch with five second left in the period. The teams traded goals again during the third with Leduc going up by two, before Lamont came back to tie the scored. With ten minutes left in the game the score was knotted at seven. Andruchow’s second of the game gave the Hawks the lead with nine minutes left to play. Both teams went into defensive shells for the next eight minutes, but with 34 seconds left to play, Leduc tied the game. Stetsko scored the winner for the Hawks with
just seven ticks left on the clock. Carver Johnson faced 47 shots in backstopping the team to its first win of the season. On Grey Cup Sunday, the Hawks hosted Warburg and came out on the positive side of a 9-7 tilt. Hauch and Dylan Onusko led the scoring with four goals each. The single marker was notched by Kyran Belcourt. The game was very evenly matched with the teams trading shots and goals. It wasn’t until Warburg took a double minor in the third period, that Lamont was able to pull away with two goals on the ensuing power play. Sandy McDonald faced 38 shots in the Hawks net.

Opinion CFL proudly, uniquely Canadian To some people the Canadian Football League is small potatoes. Those people are attracted to the bright lights shining at the doorway of the NFL. Better players, more teams, more money, they say. That may be true to an extent, but the CFL is its own game and that game is purely 100 percent Canadian and something of which to be proud. I started watching the CFL and the NFL as a little kid. At that time American stars sometimes came up to the CFL for more money or as a bargaining chip, and over the years the likes of; Joe Theismann, Johnny Rodgers, Doug Flutie, Rocket Ismail, Anthony Davis, Warren Moon, and many more have made their way to the CFL. Those were the days before huge television money, pay per view, gambling and fantasy football. Canada doesn’t have the population or number of metropolises to attract audiences large enough for the fuss the NFL creates (as the largest, richest, league in the world). So just as Canadians are quietly used to, the CFL takes its place as second fiddle in the world order to our larger, richer, American friends. And that’s okay. These days, big stars like Stampeders QB Bo Levi Mitchell come to Canada to get noticed. Rumours are that Bo will be taking his two Grey Cup championships, MOPs, MVPs, four Grey Cup starts, and highest winning percentage by a QB in CFL history to the NFL next season. We can do nothing but wish him well, and thank him for showing his talents here in Canada like many have done before him. But the CFL will carry on as it always has. Some US stars have come and made their mark like Doug Flutie and Warren Moon, but others have been complete flops like Mark Gastineau and many others who thought they would dominate here. We play a different game in Canada. Ours football came from giant rugby fields and our first champion (University of Toronto Varsity Blues) was presented a trophy by then Governor General Lord Earl Grey in 1909 as winners of the Rugby Football Championships of Canada. As the game evolved, we took to a snapback, 3-down system with 12 players on our gigantic 7,150 square yard field which is 43 percent larger than the NFL. In a sense, the CFL is so typically Canadian. It’s a football game every bit as exciting. It features great athletes and fanatical supporters (yeah, I am talking about you Saskatchewan). But it is also subtle and polite. Sunday’s Grey Cup is part of a yearly reminder of how the CFL brings us Canucks together cheering for Canada in our sport typically believed to be American.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader doesn’t like Anaka’s anti-Trump column Greetings. My husband and I have been enjoying the Lamont Leader for a year now and have not found anything in it that we disliked or disagreed with. But, then, we did not read everything, especially not anything written by Hazel Anaka. I read the title “From Where I Sit: Watch in Disbelief” and became interested in the first sentence as I have family and friends in the US. Then I felt like I had been slapped when I read her next sentence with the very rude comment: "that glow is tarnished since Trump’s election as imbecilein-chief.” From that point on I began to feel disrespect for this woman who had the nerve to write such low-grade material. Her disjointed, hateful views should be kept to herself and anyone who supports her. She commented that “when Americans leave their border to travel the world, they tend to be viewed as rude.” I have heard the exact opposite of that remark and have heard
those kinds of comments of Canadians. I tend to correct people when they gossip that way and would not have repeated that comment. Then she has the nerve to say that "Canadians display our flag through clothing or pins—we do not want to be mistaken for one of them.” A grade 5 student would know better than to say something like that. We love the US and are proud of the millions of beautiful people there. Her whole article is rude, using language that is unbecoming for a lady. We do not show such unbecoming attitudes against a people whom we know nothing about except what we might see on fake news and hear from false stories that are sometimes embellished to the point of being ridiculous. Donald Trump is the best thing that has come into the US. He is the man that was prophesied to come in years before he was voted in. There are millions who support him and many Christians in
Canada who pray for him every day. He will be able to do the job that God placed him there to do if the people will open their eyes and see the truth. We are not above God to make judgements against a plan that He has for that country. We have been told that there are witches in the US who are gathering and praying against Donald Trump but God is more powerful than they are so we are believing that they will not succeed. We do not wish to see people in Canada siding with witches in their views and attitudes, especially not in blatant half-page articles in a local newspaper. We are careful not to watch any news that puts down Donald Trump and there are a lot of media dirt and lies out there. Fox news is an honest, truthful media but once people are led astray and filled with false news they are deceived and angry and refuse to watch the true broadcasting as truth becomes lies to them.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Year-Round Opportunities
BY HAZEL ANAKA In the last couple of weeks, I’ve found myself at three community fundraisers. Two of them were church-run. One was the Orthodox Five Perogy (misnomer) Supper at Smoky Lake. In fact, it was a delicious full course Ukrainian supper, dance, and silent auction for forty dollars a person. Plus, whatever a person spent on liquor tickets, 50-50s, and silent auction items. I came home with a queen-sized 425 thread count sheet set plus a couple more bizarre items for thirtyfive bucks total. Bizarre, is of course in the eye of the beholder: a funky glow-in-the-dark crib board in the shape of a curling rock and a really strange navy onesie made of men’s dress socks (gotta see it to believe it).
The AndrewWillingdon Rural Crime Watch perogy supper at a packed St. Michael Hall also had a silent auction. Organizers respected our precious time by not dragging the auction out all night. Unfortunately, I was outbid on a pair of vases. When it comes to vases, I’m weak, weak, weak… I’ve got many in all sizes, shapes, colours, and finishes…but can’t resist adding to my collection. The most recent outing was the Kahwin Church Turkey Bingo and Bake Sale at the Andrew Community Centre. This eleventh annual fundraiser appeared to attract a full house. We were only a few games in when I remembered why I hate bingos. I fought the negative thinking hoping I could manifest a win. Not. Eventually I decided it was enough to have a social outing and
help a good case. I’m feeling especially homebound with this renovation so getting out was nice. There seemed to be dozens of really nice raffle prizes all donated by church members and their families. Unfortunately, I didn’t need assistance carrying out my loot. Emptyhanded says it all. This last event appeared very volunteer-intensive. It was inspirational to see so many families (parents and their millennial children) helping out. Equally important to their success was the number of generous donors and those of us who supported it by attending. The hardest part for any, all of us is having the time and resources to support every worthwhile, fun, important function. It is impossible to attend everything

going on around us. This seems to be the season of suppers, bake sales, Christmas craft markets, galas, home lotteries, silent auctions, raffles, charity campaigns, and more. Maybe we can all cut ourselves some slack and assume we’re doing what we can both in terms of time and money. For those who want to do more, volunteering is always an option. I suspect every group has a challenge recruiting people. Consider making some event organizer’s day by offering your time and expertise.

West Woodlands development gets green light in Bruderheim
Help for Fish & Game
The proposed development is well designed - Dauphinee BY JOHN MATHER Bruderheim has put all the regulations in place to make the development of West Woodlands a go. On Nov. 21, the town held a public hearing on the development proposal, to be built by Prism Engineering. In the following town council meeting the council passed second and third reading of a by-law amending the town’s land use by-law giving the project the green light. The development, adjacent to the current Woodlands subdivision will consist of 78 single detached dwellings, 48 medium density units and 55 high density units. The land had been zoned urban reserve, but following the vote it was rezoned to R1 (low density residential), R2 (medium density residential) and R3 (high density residential). During the public hearing the town planner from Municipal Planning Services, Jane Dauphinee outlined the plans of the development. Just under 20 per cent of the site had been designated as municipal reserve, well over the required 10 per cent
allotment. “The development provided good vehicle and pedestrian circulation,” she said. “The proposed development is well designed and should fit into the existing neighbourhoods.” She further went on to explain the development fit in with Bruderheim’s existing development plan. Deputy Reeve Pat Lee questioned whether there were any concerns with an existing “borrow pit” in the northwest corner of the property, but Dauphinee said development would not occur in this area until the final phase of the development. Councillor George Campbell said the borrow pit area used to be an old dump, but Councillor Judy Schueler said it was an old area where people dumped their garbage. Dauphinee said as long it wasn’t an old landfill it was OK to use, but she’d make a note to the developers to watch when they worked in that area. Developer Glenn Kennedy said that prior to any development the land would be stripped down to clay and if anything was buried it would be found.
“As Jane mentioned the land has had three geotechnical reports which is much more than required,” he said. Kennedy added the drainage for the development had been designed so if there were any major storms, dry water retention ponds would fill and, if they overloaded, drainage would go straight to the road system. “Nothing would go on to the properties,” he said. Council had some concerns about the entry into the development. An emergency entrance is to come into the development off the Range Road 205 on the west side of the development. While the existing entrance from 52 Ave. would be used for the first phase of the development, council worried about leaving a second entrance for a later phase.
Councillor Wayne Olechow said traffic flowing on to 55 St and subsequently on to 52 Ave. was heavy now and adding more dwelling would have a major impact. He felt the planned second entrance (57 St.) west of 55 St. to come into the development off 52 Ave. should be built with the first phase. “That would ease the traffic flow, even if there were no homes near that entrance yet,” he said. As council prepared to approve the third reading of the change in the land use by-law, Mayor Karl Hauch said, “It’s exciting to see our community growing. “We see business opportunities coming to our community driven by population growth. It’s exciting to see someone wanting to partner with the town and move this forward.”

RV repair shop back seeking support from Mundare Council JOHN MATHER Jagger Glowatsky was back before Mundare Council, Nov. 20, to see if any decisions had been made about allowing his RV Repair Shop business to proceed. Glowatsky opened a used RV parts store earlier this year on highway 15 just south of the railway track in town. Appearing before council, Oct. 2 he outlined his plans for making his business more compliant. “When I opened we got so busy I had to hire additional employees and began stripping trailers right on site,” Glowatsky explained. “As you know it became a total mess and I had literally no time to clean it up.” By stripping the trailers on site Glotwasky ran afoul of the town land use by-law that states he could retail used trailer parts, but couldn’t store gutted trailers or RVs on the site. “I know you’ve been quite anxious to hear back from council,” said Mayor Mike Saric. Glotwasky told council they wanted to change their direction somewhat by being a service/repair shop for RVs. “Are you proposing the new idea would have no outside storage,” asked Saric. “With our new plan,” replied Glotwasky. “We would build a new shop, bring RVs in for repair or salvaging and then
remove it. There would be no partial vehicle left sitting outside.” He went on to say a mechanic would be hired to do repairs. Previously, he had planned to purchase land east of their current site, but this idea has been scrapped and they were looking at building a second shop, which would double the size of the operation. Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla said the town’s development officer had told him as the town moved forward with the proposal there would probably be some restrictions applied which may include landscaping or fencing to improve the site. “Under the current zoning the shop can have five vehicles on site which could be for sale.” Zyla added. “We don’t want to make a mess,” said Glotwasky. “We want to build a shop and have everything moved inside.” Glotwasky said he wanted to know what council was thinking. “We are exploring our options,” he said. “If council isn’t willing to consider our business then we’ll find other options. We were really busy this past summer and we want to be prepared for next year. We’re working hard to develop a game plan.” Zyla said the group would need permission from transportation,
since the property sits along Highway 15. In addition they would need to get the necessary applications for permitting filed with the town and, since it would be a discretionary use, neighbouring residents would have to be notified. Glotwasky said they planned to build a 30 foot X 52 foot shop. He added he’d spoke some with his neighbours and they were supportive of the business. Saric said he would have no problem with the business, but he didn’t want to see it become a salvage operation. “There would-probably be some requirements to make the building look a certain way,” he added. Councillor Irene Talaga added she’d like to see a business grow in the town. “As long as it’s clean and neat … that’s our biggest concern,” said Councillor Jason Kowal. Zyla said a public meeting might be necessary. He said the group should explain to him soon what they planned to do.. When the economic development officer returned from holidays, council might be able to give a decision. Glotwasky left satisfied he could investigate his business plan further feeling council may be supportive of the development. Council cancelled the

first meeting in January, since it would fall on New Year’s Day. The regular council meeting will be held January 15. There will also only be one meeting next month on Dec. 15th. Council debated where to go for the annual Christmas party. The town usually goes to a curling club fundraiser. The fundrais-
er is on January 19 next year and tickets have gone up $5 to $45, reported Zyla. Councillor Talaga felt it was good to support the curling club, but she was disappointed no one from public works ever showed up. Councillor Jaime Burghardt said she liked having the Christmas party at the fundraiser
because it supported one of the community organizations. Zyla asked council for permission to schedule a meeting with economic development officer Laraine Stuart for Dec. 20. “She not back until Dec. 15 and there are a couple of things which have to be discussed,” he said.

Lack of volunteers kills perogy festival
MUNDARE SUPERHEROES A group of Grade one and two students pose in their superhero costumes Nov. 23 at Mundare School. The students dressed up in their costumes as their way to put an end to student bullying. Putting an end to bullying was the theme across many Elk Island Public Schools during the past week.
JOHN MATHER The Lamont Fair and Perogy Festival has been cancelled due to a lack of volunteers. Following a meeting Nov. 5, the decision was made to cancel the annual event. “Absolutely, it was lack of volunteers,” said chair Gail Hrehorets. “We have an aging volunteer base and they volunteer for everything. They have to determine where they want to put their energies.” She said at the meeting there was no one who would step up to become the chair or vice chair of the festival. The festival has been held in its current format for the past four years. Prior to that, the Lamont Agricultural Society ran it in conjunction with the
Lamont Rodeo. “There was no one willing to take this on and co-ordinate with the service groups, “ said Hrehorets. “And the service groups are having their own issues with getting volunteers. It’s a double edged sword.” She said many people who help in other groups made up the Fair and Perogy Festival committee. “You know when it’s the same 10 people all the time?” she asked. “It’s the same 10 people for the Lion’s Club, the curling club and most other community events. The same 10 people can’t be split that many ways.” “It’s a sad situation really,” she said. “Because it was a really good thing.”

are planned in December to get your feedback. At these meetings we will be asking questions and documenting your responses to questions including:
ANDREW MEETING A good crowd showed up to find out what the future holds for Andrew High School at a community meeting Nov. 22. With only 19 students, the smallest enrolment in the Elk Island Public School district, the board and administration want to ensure those students have access to the same programming as other students in the district. The meeting involved small breakout groups and the results will be put together in a report to be posted online prior to Christmas. Former students, parents and grand parents of existing students, attended the meeting.
Councillor donates winnings to school JOHN MATHER The Mundare School breakfast program is the beneficiary of a door prize win by Lamont County Division 1 councillor Daniel Warawa. Warawa was attending a meeting at the WSP Engineering suite, during the Alberta Rural Municipalities Conference in Edmonton last week, when he won a door prized worth $1,000. “It was automatic that I would give it to the breakfast program,” he said. “I’ve always supported it. You know, there are a lot of kids who come to school hungry.” He said his support for the program goes back years from when they opened the school. “My daughter-in-law takes turns going in and helping out at lunch.” Warawa said he would be talking to the school about making a presentation of the prize at council chambers at a later date in December.

No smoking?: BY JOHN MATHER A group of Mundare residents are upset with the smoke pouring from the smoker units at the Stawnichy Meat Processing operation in the town. A crowd of about 12 16 people jammed Mundare council, Nov. 20. The group had sent a letter to council stating they were concerned about the smoke from the company’s smokers polluting the town and affecting their quality of life. After showing up at the meeting, they were able to get the chance to speak before council, when another scheduled delegation cancelled out. Joanne Letowski, Diane Blair and Jack Stevenson acted as the main speakers for the group. Mundare Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla told council, after receiving the initial letter, he and some councillors had met with the Stawnichy officials and were told there were new smokers at the downtown plant. “It was a good discussion. With the old smokers they were constantly being used and there was smoke coming out of the stacks all the time,” said Zyla. “The new smokers only release smoke a couple of times during the twohour process. The majority of the smoking is done early in the morning to allow for proper packaging in the afternoon.” He told council the process was time sensitive. Further the company didn’t use the smokers on the weekends so there would be no smoke then. That didn’t sit well with the delegation to
Mundare residents upset with Stawnichy’s smoke release
council. “It smokes seven days a week,” said Blair. “I have a smoke allergy and I can’t go out in my back yard. Is that fair to me?” She added she couldn’t keep her windows open. “What our concern is, is what is contained in the smoke,” said Stevenson. “It’s a known fact when you burn wood it contains carcinogens.” “But that wasn’t asked last week,” said Councillor Jaime Burghardt. Alberta Environment had been contacted apparently and no report had been issued. “As far as we know,” said Zyla. “Alberta Environment has not come out and done any air quality testing.” Letowski said she had contacted Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs, who replied it was primarily a provincial matter. Mayor Mike Saric asked if anyone had contacted Alberta Environment and he was told a letter had been sent to the minister, but no response had been received. Saric further wondered why Stawnichy’s would pursue any testing by Alberta Environment. “There’s nothing in that for them, why would they pay for testing?” The residents argued the entire downtown could be covered with smoke when there’s a weather inversion. “Those days are really bad,” said Stevenson. “And that’s what these people are opposed to.” Councillor Jason Kowal said the business had been in the community for more than 60
years and it wasn’t practical to ask them to stop their business. “We can’t control the weather inversions anymore than Stawnichy’s can,” he said. “We should be able to work with them to figure out what’s best.” Saric asked what would be any acceptable amount of smoke and was told none. “If there’s no legal requirement on Stawnichy’s and there’s no legal requirement by the province to do anything, what would you have us do?” he asked. One resident asked if they were the only meat processor doing business in a residential area. Council quickly replied several communities in Alberta had similar operations. “I don’t want to be here in five years having this argument,” said Saric. “Clearly the question of whether the smoke being emitted is dangerous is reasonable.” He suggested council take the lead by approaching Alberta Environment to find out what regulations were involved and if air quality testing could be done. Stevenson said finding out what was in the air would satisfy many of the people. Saric asked Zyla to get a timeline on the issue by speaking with the people the group had spoken with at Alberta Environment to find out the rules and regulations around smokers: do they test the air, and if testing is done who would pay for it. “I’m not here fighting anybody’s fight, but we have to have accurate information before we can move on anything.”

BY JOHN MATHER The twinning of the Highway 15 river bridge in Fort Saskatchewan will be a boon to commuters traveling to north Edmonton from the Lamont County area but at what cost? When construction begins on the twinning sometime in 2019, some of the earthworks will mean relocating a 36inch water line operated by the Capital Northeast Water Commission. It in turns supplies the John S. Batiuk Regional Water Commission that services communities east of Fort Saskatchewan along a corridor stretching to Vegreville. “The province bought the land for the rights of ways for the pipeline in the 1970s and the water line opened in the early 1980s,” said Batiuk water
commission manager Pat Tomkow. “Now they want to relocate the line and want us to pay 50 per cent of the cost.” She said the stakeholders along the water line contend the province should pay 100 per cent of the relocation costs. “We’ve done some preliminary research in to what the project might cost and it’s high,” Tomkow explained Nov. 23. She estimated about 30 communities along the line could be affected if the cost of relocating the line has to be passed on by the commission. In addition, Tomkow said, when the Anthony Henday ring road around Edmonton was constructed the province picked up 100 per cent of the tab for relocating the water lines for both the
Northeast Commission and the Parkland Water Board. Parkland’s line had to be relocated on the west side of Edmonton.
The lines, she adds, have to be relocated to accommodate the additional loads passing over them from increased traffic.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column, and box. Each number can only appear once in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
