Rural leaders request carbon tax exemption for ag. producers Michelle Pinon Editor
Robert Malica, who represents Division 5 in Lamont County was one of more than 400 rural politicians who booed Deputy Premier Sarah Hoffman at the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts & Counties (AAMD&C) Fall Convention in Edmonton on Nov. 17. Malica, said he is not in favour of the carbon tax, and was vocal when Hoffman told the delegates it was necessary to address climate change because the science behind it is real and there are serious health concerns tied to burning coal. “Quite frankly, I don’t
understand it,” said Malicia, pointing out that none of the provincial government ministers, (including Hoffman), could provide any facts or numbers as to the negative health effects and costs associated with the issue. In fact, no facts were provided as to the benefits of the carbon tax that will see fuel costs increase by 20 per cent starting this January. Malica also doesn’t understand how the carbon tax will attract more businesses to Alberta given the additional expenses businesses and residents will have to incur. In the case of Woodlands County in southern Alberta, it will stand to loose hundreds
of jobs at its coal plant with the province’s phase out plan. More than 90 per cent of elected officials passed a resolution requesting the Government of Alberta to exempt all municipalities in Alberta from the carbon levy. Part of the resolution states: “Whereas the carbon levy would significantly increase costs to Alberta municipalities both directly and indirectly which would require municipalities to increase property taxes, reduce services, or increase user fees (or some combination of these).” Malica added, “It all goes back to the taxpayer.”

Emergency response time critical Fort Saskatchewan, ABThe Fort Saskatchewan RCMP would like to remind the public of the legislation in place which requires motorists to yield for emergency vehicles responding to emergencies. If travelling, and an approaching emergency vehicle with its lights and sirens is observed, motorists are required to
pull to the right side of the road. The requirement is to pull to the right, stop and remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed. This legislation is in place for the safety of all users of the highway. Please be mindful that if you see one emergency vehicle, there are likely expected to be further
units en-route to the emergency. Before continuing travel, please ensure that the lanes are clear and safe before returning to your lane of travel. Declining to yield to an emergency vehicle could result in a fine amount of $233 dollars should a charge under the Traffic Safety Act be pursued. This is simply a
reminder as all emergency responders have the intention to assist persons in need. When responding to these emergencies the response time is very time sensitive and we appreciate all possible assistance in keeping everyone safe while enroute. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Andrew School remembers service of local soldiers SUBMITTED ARTICLE On November 10th, Andrew School held their annual Remembrance Day Ceremony in the school gymnasium. Every year Canadians come together to remember and reflect on those who have served and those who continue to serve in the military. The gymnasium was filled with preschool, elementary, junior and senior high students, as well as teachers, staff, parents, dignitaries, special guests, and community members. This year students and staff were asked to submit photos of family members who served or are serving in the military for a special tribute slideshow.
This slideshow was shown at the end of the ceremony and contained over 40 photos featuring 17 family members from the Andrew School community, two of which were Andrew School alumni. Private Daniel Wortel is currently serving in the Canadian military and was intending to speak at the ceremony however he was called to Wainwright for close quarters combat. Andrew School also had the honour of having retired Captain John Kapicki, grade 4 student Abby Kapicki’s grandfather, speak to the students reading a piece he had written about Remembrance Day 20 years ago.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, November 22, 2016
Opinion Will power or From Where I Sit: Grab It willpower bring back prosperity? I don’t often listen to teleconference’s, but I did want to tune into Premier Rachel Notley’s news conference following her address to the Alberta Municipal Districts & Counties (AAMD&C) on Thursday. The audio kicked in when Notley was telling a reporter how sometimes there are disagreements, and sometimes they have to make hard decisions, long term decisions, they believe will put the province in the right direction. Several different issues were raised by media representatives, including education tax. “I’m absolutely sympathetic to the issue.” She would not commit to decreasing the amount of education tax municipalities pay on behalf of their ratepayers. Nor did she offer any assurances that the carbon tax won’t cause further tax increases, but they would be looking at a number of solutions. “Nothing is without an impact…that’s why its important to roll up our sleeves and work collaboratively. She went on to say the Energy Efficiency Program is one of the most effective ways municipalities can reduce emissions. During her speech Notley acknowledged, “The first thing on everyone’s mind is the slowdown. Alberta is experiencing the consequences of decisions made a world away. And low oil prices are hurting the rural parts of our province. Oil and gas spending is down,damaging small businesses in the service sector, while local governments are struggling with declines in taxes revenues and public spending. Most importantly, families all over the province are worrying about their employment and economic security.” Notley said they are faced with some “big” challenges, and would be teaming up with rural leaders to tackle them together, proposing to focus efforts in the areas of: protecting public services, making changes with respect to the Municipal Government Act, investing in infrastructure, and diversifying the economy through the Jobs Plan, and Climate Leadership Plan. She went on to say, “Together, we’ll create jobs and restore the prosperity that made Alberta Canada’s economic engine.” Well, I think rural municipal leaders are just as confused as the average Albertan, still scratching their heads and wondering as to how “they” can make it all happen in order to make Alberta prosperous again.
By Hazel Anaka I’ve just returned from what ended up being a mother-daughter trip. Roy was going to accompany us on this short Victoria-Seattle junket but ended up staying home to babysit the propane heaters and aeration fans needed to dry our damp canola. Sigh. Need I say anything more about the harvest from hell? No doubt there will be some nightmare stories as fall turns into winter then turns into spring. We will not be alone combining a
few acres of wheat and a bunch of canola when the snow melts in spring. Heated grain is a loss, overwintering crops (either standing or in swaths) is a loss. Hoping for an insurance payout may come too late for some and not at all for others. Buying propane and running big fans subtracts money directly from our bottom line. But I digress. We planned the trip to Victoria to see Hilary convocate from Royal Roads University with a Masters in Professional Communication. The ceremony was in the ornately beautiful historic Royal Theatre. A celebratory dinner and drinks at Fiamo capped off Tuesday night. We stayed at the Chateau Victoria, a privately owned and operated hotel within walking distance of downtown. Getting upgraded to a suite was nice. Having the hotel shuttle us around saved cab fare
and shoe leather. The weather was surprisingly good, with only one shower during our stay. Checking out the shops (Jade Victoria and Munro’s Books) made my day. But it still stings to pay sales tax so neither of us went crazy! During the trip planning stage we decided to go to Seattle because I’d never been there. A nearly three-hour Clipper ferry ride got us there in style. We stayed at the new Hyatt House and took advantage of their shuttle to get us to the wharf market area. I’m not sure if these west coast (Democratic) people are still stinging from the Trump win or what the hell was going on, but there were some snarly people working in the Uber/cab/service industry/retail world. Despite Seattle’s bad rap as a rainy city (it’s actually the 41st wettest city in the States), we had fine weather. It was actually sunny and
pleasant. I do have to say that the hilly terrain is not for the faint of heart. I wish I had worn my Fitbit to rack up some impressive numbers. Did you know that most shops will give you a (sales) tax exemption if you show them your Alberta driver’s license? That came in handy since we were a week too early for Black Friday and shopping with our puny Canadian dollar exchange rate. Even so I managed to do some Christmas shopping and had fun browsing. Hilary treated herself to a couple (or three) grad gifts. The vendors and shops at Pike’s Market were a feast for the eyes. Pike’s world-famous clam chowder hit the spot. Russell Books is a sight to behold and waaay too big to navigate in a short time. Bottom line, if you get a chance to go anywhere with your daughter, grab it, from where I sit.
QUOTE OF THE DAY “I understand that Prime Minister Trudeau wants to show leadership on the climate file, but a forced feel good sin tax is the wrong way. How many of us should sacrifice our jobs and livelihoods for this new national tax that will have no impact on global emissions? Not one.” Brad Wall Premier of Saskatchewan

Local PC supporter ‘shocked’ by Kenney camp manipulation Michelle Pinon Editor
Longtime PC member Mae Adamyk said she was absolutely “shocked” to receive an email listing her as a delegate for Jason Kenney. “I am shocked to see my name on the list of delegates supporting Jason Kenney,” stated Adamyk in an email to Jacquie Fenske on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Adamyk, also expressed her shock to the Lamont Leader the following day, Thursday, Nov. 17. Adamyk, said she would be unable to attend the Fort Saskatchewan - Vegreville PC Association delegate selection meeting, was completely dumbfounded as to how or why her name appeared on the list of delegates supporting Kenney.
Mae Adamyk
She reiterated, “I never Met Jason Kenney. I never spoke to Jason Kenney, and I did not allow my name to be on his delegates list.” Adamyk added that, “If this is an example of someone who wants to be leader of the PC Party, using names without
permission, I am very disappointed.” Adamyk said she would be supporting PC leadership candidate Richard Starke. Fenske stated on Nov. 17 that she is thinking about filing a formal complaint with the PC Party.
The Lamont Leader contacted Jason Kenney’s toll free phone number, but had received no response as of press time Monday, Nov. 21.

Bruderheim Lions Club welcomes Dist. Governor Michelle Pinon Editor
Lions Club members from Chipman, Lamont, and Bruderheim gathered on Thursday, Nov. 10 at Walker School to break bread together and enjoy a visit from District Governor Lion Ron Wackenhut. Bruderheim Lions Club President Darby Dunn welcomed everyone to the event, and introduced Wackenhut
to members. Bruderheim Mayor and Lions Club Member Karl Hauch presented a gift bag to Wackenhut, and personally thanked all of the members in attendance. “Volunteers are the lifeblood of a community, and the Lions have some of the best, so I’d like to give you a hand (round of applause).” Wackenhut is one of 754 Lions Club District Governors throughout the world, with a very

impressive track record himself, winning multiple awards and fellowships. He joined the Stony Plain Lions Club in January 1982, and has 34 years of perfect attendance. “I bring greetings from Lions Clubs International President Bob Corlew, and congratulations on your accomplishments in your community. It’s always gratifying to come to Bruderheim and other communities, with often very small numbers. Wackenhut touched on this year’s theme, “New Mountains To Climb,” and the work that is being done is regards to disaster relief efforts in Fort McMurray, Haiti and other areas of the world, as well as fundraising and awareness efforts for prostate cancer. Wackenhut told members of his visit to the Lions Clubs dog training centre in Oakville, Ontario. Through the Lions Foundation of Canada, they are able to provide dog guides to people with disabilities. “If every member donated $1 per month then there would be enough funds to train eight dogs.” The other challenge is for each of 46,000 Lions Clubs to gain one new member in 2016-’17. “One member can help 50 people.” He also encouraged all of the clubs to report their activities throughout the year as it assists with the 100 year service challenge which assist youth, the environment, and feeding the hungry. Wackenhut also presented various service awards to several members of all three local clubs, as well as the Lions Legacy Scholarship for community service and higher education to Caleb Hauch. The $1,000 scholarship will used to offset expenses for the 19-yearold who is in his first year of Police Studies at Grant MacEwan University. “I know this sounds corny, but I’ve always looked up to police officers,” stated Caleb, who is currently taking psychology, communications, criminal law, and law and the administration of justice this semester.

Security K-9 Protection Service officially opens Michelle Pinon Editor
TDRF Protection & K9 Services officially opened its doors to the community on Friday, Nov. 18 Located on main street in Lamont, the company began operating in February of 2016. Rob Forbister, who is the manager, consultant, and security advisor, introduced himself and his business partner. Forbister got acquainted with members of town council during a presentation on Nov. 8. Since the company began operating, Forbister has been busy making cold calls, sending out emails, and introducing himself and TDRF’s services both intown and outside of town in nearby Chipman and Bruderheim.
Since putting down roots professionally and personally, Forbister said he has worked a couple of local events and festivals, and is looking forward to having a greater presence in the area and help reduce crime. According to Forbister there aren’t that many companies like his operating, and is proud to say he has a provincial MICHELLE PINON PHOTO licence, and TDRF Protection & K9 Services partners Rob Forbister and can offer secu- Tania Dalueg pose with canine Sky outside their main street busirity patrols as ness in Lamont during their grand opening on Friday, Nov. 18.

well as bylaw enforcement services. “We have highly trained security officers who are trained in bylaw as well as security. We offer reasonable rates and we are willing to work with the communities we serve. The company also offers a cadet program to youth between 15 and 18 years of age. The program offers training and allows participants to
obtain security licenses if they wish to do so. Job shadowing and guidance are just a few of the components of the program. Mayor Bill Skinner said he was happy to hear the vision for the youth program, and his hope that he, and the company, would be very well accepted by the community

Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville PC Association hosts delegate selection meeting Michelle Pinon Editor
While delegates at the Fort SaskatchewanVegreville PC Association meeting in Bruderheim on Nov. 17 were clear in their conviction that Alberta cannot afford another term of office with the NDP government, just who they should support as their own party leader was murky at best. For the most part, however, the majority of prospective delegates who let their name stand and spoke during the meeting, chose to focus on qualities and characteristics they would like to see in their leader The key qualities and characteristics that prospective delegates identified included: someone
Clarke Marshall who is in alignment with Christian and family values, to be respected by both genders, to be a good communicator, to be honest, humble and a thoughtful decision maker. Attendees, more than 120 in total, also chose to put their faith, trust and votes in hands of youth members as five of the 15 delegates who were selected by eligible members are youth, and they will each have one vote
at the PC Leadership Convention in Calgary on March 17 and 18, 2017. The 15 delegates who were chosen to represent the Fort SaskatchewanVegreville PC Association include: Gabriella Santana, Arjen Randawa, Kacklyn Homeniuk, Tina Warawa, Lana Santana, Kevin O’Hewell, Candice Kalyn, Ron Randhawa, Jackie Homeniuk, Jessica Arsenault, Margrita Dziwenko, Reid Lopushinsky, Sheryl Lazaruk, Kyle Paterson, and Brenda ArmstrongPaterson. It took officials just over two hours to count the ballots. Deputy Returning Officer Robert Parks, told the Lamont Leader that he was very pleased with the turn out, and by the number
of people who let their names stand as prospective delegates. He wasn’t
surprised, however, by the support demonstrated by local association
members as this has always been a strong area for the party.

Chipman Coyote Country Christmas attracts good crowd Michelle Pinon Editor
Two hundred pounds of turkey. Twenty pounds of stuffing. One hundred pounds of potatoes. Six gallons of gravy. Sixteen pounds of peas and carrots. Three gallons of cranberry sauce. That’s how much food was cooked for guests who attended the free community turkey dinner at the Chipman National Hall on Salturday, Nov. 19. It was a massive undertaking which garnered a total of 24 volunteers dedicated their time and talents to make Christmas merry for local residents. Chipman Ag. Society President Scott Reid thanked all of the volunteers who made the third annual Coyote Country Christmas a success. He also personally thanked Mayor Jim Palmer who officially flicked the
switch to turn on the Christmas trees in Memorial Park shortly around 5:15 p.m. before 160 people sat down to enjoy a festive meal. Earlier in the day, the Christmas Craft Sale was held upstairs, and there was good participation from vendors as well as participants who came by to shop for friends and family members. They also enjoyed complementary hot chocolate and coffee throughout the afternoon. Members of the Chipman Junior Players, 15 in total, sang Jingle Bells, and performed a short skit after supper for the crowd to enjoy. It was a great way to enjoy some Christmas cheer and help a local charity as well. According to the ag. society a total of $800 in cash, and an overflowing table of non-perishable food items were collected for the Lamont & District Food Bank.
Lamont resident and crafter Kennedy Kelso, 8, was one of 27 vendors who participated in the Christmas Craft Sale Saturday afternoon.
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Volunteers Tom Hrehorets, Ellen Sledz, and John Stribling kept busy the evening of Nov. 18 and all day Nov. 19 preparing and cooking, serving and cleaning for the free community turkey dinner that was enjoyed by 160 people. This is the third year the Chipman Agricultural Society has hosted the event. The meal was sponsored in part by the Village of Chipman and Lamont County Family and Community Support Services.
Justin Kaban, (holding son Logan), and Ashley Kaban, (holding other son Cohen), enjoyed turkey and all the trimmings Saturday evening at the Chipman National Hall.

CALC Volunteer literacy tutor program enriches lives Michelle Pinon Editor
Kind. Caring. Compassionate. Those are just three words to describe Lillian Sabo, a volunteer tutor, and learner liason with the Community Adult Learning Council (CALC) Sabo used those exact same words to describe
the other Lamont County based volunteer tutors she works with on a regular basis. “It’s wonderful working with the learners. They are so enthusiastic and eager.” The adult learners also inspire her to do the very best she can, and find all the resources possible to assist them on their journey to improve their lit-
eracy skills. “It’s wonderful working with them.” Through the program, Sabo said she has also expanded her own network of people, increased her knowledge base, and opened new doors along the way. For Sabo, a former educator, it was important for her to remain rel-
evant and meaningful. She said surprisingly, all of her knowledge and skills came to the forefront once again, and she is enjoying her role. Last January she agreed to take on the learner liaison role, and has been enjoying it immensely. The program, which offers one-on-one tutor-
ing is highly effective, and learners tend to develop their literacy skills at a faster rate with greater proficiency than in a traditional classroom setting. “We don’t have a set curriculum or program. It’s based on personal interests and needs,” adds Sabo, so the program is tailored to each individual.
“If they want, they can further their educations through various methods, including the English As a Second Language (ESL) Rural Routes program offered through Norquest College.

Classifieds Continued from Page 11 ________________________ THANK YOU YOU THANK ________________________ I can’t find words that will help me express my feelings of gratitude after my 90th Birthday Party in Irma. It was very humbling to see all you dear friends together, to honour me on my special day. I am more than blessed to have lived all but these last 7 years in the Irma district. Irma, to me, is one Big Family of which I have been happy to be a part of. When people will cross the ocean from Norway, drive from Saskatoon, and many parts of Alberta, it tells me I still have many good friends even if I am “old.” Thanks to each one who came, for the beautiful floral arrangements (which I am sharing with my new friends at Vialta Lodge), cards, gifts, honourary donations, phone calls (one from Mexico), the song written about me, as well as many warm hugs and kisses. I am thankful to the Lord for my good health, and am still able to have a good visit *hint hint*. Thanks also for the lovely decorations, delicious cakes, and tasty lunch. To my family, you all know how special you are, and how “Besta” appreciates each one of you, including the Heimdal family who live on our farm. I am rejoicing over my first great grandchild. Little Elena is special! I could stand more like her. My apologies if I have missed someone. God Bless each of you, you have a spot in my heart! Lovingly, Eunice Gulbraa 46p ________________________
