Santa Claus did the honour of flipping the switch to turn on Winter Wonderlights beside the Town of Lamont administration building at 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 26 to cap off a festive day long celebration. Hundreds of people gathered to enjoy fireworks, hot chocolate, kubbie burgers, singing and strolling through the spectacular display of lights and inflatable Christmas figurines.

Fundraising project labour of love Michelle Pinon Editor
When Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge resident Albert Engman heard Manager Debra Hancheruk was looking for donations to purchase furniture for the new addition to the lodge he instinctively wanted to help. “I heard Debbie was collecting money, so I wondered what I could do to raise money,” said Albert. That’s when he came up with the idea to make a hope chest-blanket box, and raffle it off. So Albert enlisted the help, materials, equipment and expertise of his oldest son John, who lives near Barrhead. Together they selected white birch and red oak for the hope chest along with cedar to line the bottom and the sliding drawer. Then they set to work in John’s heated workshop.
John did the cutting and detailing for the hope chest which measures 24”X24”X48”. With a table saw, scroll saw, and router John crafted the beautiful and func-
tional item. Albert did the most of sanding and staining, coating the hope chest-blanket box. They decided to seal the wood with clear varathane so that it
would bring out the natural grain of the wood and go with anyone’s home decor. Over the course of two weeks they were able to complete the project that is currently on display at the lodge. J o h n said he was happy to help out, and even though the days were fairly long for Albert, they are so happy they were able to help out. Tickets are $5 each, and are also available at the lodge to MICHELLE PINON PHOTO purchase. Beaverhill Lodge resident Albert Engman, right, and his oldest son Draw date is John crafted a blanket box/hope chest to raise money for furniture December for the new lodge in Lamont that is currently under construction. 20. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the lodge. The draw date is December 20.

Driving by Hilliard on Highway 15 Thursday afternoon the trees, swaths, stubble and grass were drenched in hoar frost. It made for a pretty picture, but the harvest for local producers was definitely not as rosy as recent snow put an end to operations for many. Exactly the magnitude of the crop losses has yet to be determined, but the deadline for snow covered claims with Alberta Financial Services Corporation is November 30.
Possible water-wastewater collaboration being discussed Mundare, and the Village of Andrew are interested into looking into the practical feasibility, possible options, and potential costs of managing the collection, quality and distribution of water and its related pump and lift stations and reservoirs. “What we’re looking at is economy of scale and of putting it all together.” As it stands now, each village or town operates and manages its own facilities even though the water itself is

province is Dec. 16, and that is why he would like to have responses from the Village of Chipman and the Town of Bruderheim before then. Currently, each municipality operates its own water and waste water facilities, (pumping and lift stations), and has their own staff that maintain those facilities as well as fire hydrants.
Staff must also be trained and abide by environmental regulations and procedures. As to whether we need it or not, has not been determined, but Singleton would just like to get a study done in order to see if it is a viable option or not. Back on Oct. 18, Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski received an official letter of
confirmation from Alberta Transportation Minister Brian Mason stating that: “Lamont County will receive a grant of 90 per cent of the estimated eligible project costs, or up to $6,279,300 for the project (St. Michael Regional Water Supply) from combined provincial and federal sources.”

Opinion Good week for people and the planet It has been a good week for people and the planet. On Monday, the federal government announced that it will take steps to phase-out pollution from coal-fired power plants across the country by 2030. And on Thursday, the Government of Alberta announced that it has signed an agreement with three major power generators to ensure a phase-out of coal plants in Alberta by 2030. There will be time in the coming days to examine and critique the details surrounding these two new announcements but today we want to acknowledge what they can mean for human health in Alberta, across Canada, and around the world. A new report endorsed
by 15 health and environmental organizations – including the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the Asthma Society of Canada, and the Lung Association – estimates that a Canadawide phase-out of coal power by 2030 would prevent more than 1000 premature deaths, 900 hospital admissions or emergency room visits and nearly $5 billion in health care costs by improving local air quality. In fact, most of these national health benefits will be realized in the Prairies – about $3 billion in Alberta and up to $1.3 billion in Saskatchewan. While the lion’s share of the benefits will happen here, there will still be important benefits real-
ized in the Atlantic provinces and in central Canada, making a Canada-wide coal-phase out truly in the country’s national interest. The 2030 phase-out will also significantly reduce mercury emissions. Mercury is the reason that pregnant women are warned not to eat certain types of fish during pregnancy. It is a persistent substance that accumulates in the aquatic food chain that can harm the brains of children exposed during pregnancy. Reducing this pollution will mean that these harmful effects can be minimized; that we can reclaim fish as a healthy protein source for all. In addition, the 2030 phase-out will help Canada’s fight against
climate change. The renowned medical journal, The Lancet, estimates that climate change is already responsible for approximately 150,000 deaths each year. People are dying from malnutrition, malaria, infectious disease and extreme heat; conditions made worse by a climate characterized by more frequent and more intense storms, heat waves, and droughts. People in countries that are already struggling to feed their people will experience many of these health impacts, but Canada will not be immune. Over the last 10 years, Canada has experienced an increase in droughts, wildfires, extreme rain and ice storms, floods and extreme heat. We have
seen the spread of insect and mite-borne diseases such as West Nile Virus and Lyme’s disease. And we have seen permafrost and ice roads melting in the far north. Canadian are already being affected by climate change; both in economic and health terms. By accelerating the closure of coal plants across the country, we will cut Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by about 8%. This will help Canada to meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and put us in a stronger position to ask the same of other countries. But more importantly, we will be acting decisively to improve the health of Albertans, Canadians and other people around the world from
the ravages of uncontrolled climate change. We congratulate the governments of Alberta and Canada in their decisions to phase-out coal fired power, and to reap the important health benefits for Albertans and all Canadians. Now the hard work begins: designing plans to ensure this transition happens quickly, in partnership and collaboration with communities most impacted. We look forward to working with all levels of governments throughout this process. Kim Perrotta Executive Director Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE)
From Where I Sit: Makes Sense
By Hazel Anaka When things get tight financially most people find a way to adapt. Some will steal a tractor and yank an ATM out the front door of a bank.
Or don a balaclava and hold up a convenience store. More sophisticated thieves will ‘borrow’ money from the trust funds of wealthy investment or insurance clients. Others in positions of trust might perpetrate elaborate embezzlement schemes to cheat their employer or the charity they profess to care about. Still others fake cancer or other dread diseases to attract sympathetic donations through online funding pages. Or simply grab and go with poppy boxes and Santa kettles. Most of these geniuses end up in court and on the front page of the newspaper.
Jail time is the likely result, so maybe they’re not the best ideas in the long term. Other struggling people will seriously restrict their spending habits. What money exists will be diverted to essentials. The ‘dirty 30s’ generation is far better at making do because they’ve done it before. They are resolute and strong. They carry less debt. They innovate. They know, this too shall pass. Those of us not resorting to crime or willing to forego everything try to find other ways to get through the challenges. We delay gratification by rescheduling or can-
celling vacations and frivolous purchases. We slow the reflexive act of whipping out a credit card by using a thought process before buying. Do I need this? Do I need it now? Can I get it cheaper elsewhere? Some of us shop sales and clip coupons. We know when it’s seniors’ discount day at our favourite retailer. We choose cheaper options when spending is unavoidable. We eat at home more often. We get creative with what’s already bought and paid for in our pantries and freezers. We waste less. Maybe now is also the time to find and use all
those gift cards and gift certificates that can accumulate over the year. Recently I used a fivedollar Starbucks one that our realtor always sends. More embarrassing to admit: the one hundred dollar gift certificate from The Citadel that’s been in my wallet since 2012. That turned into an awesome theatre night for three of us (in row three!) during the recent run of Million Dollar Quartet. Sometime soon you’ll see us at Sorrentino’s, Joey’s and the Mayfield. Or spending Canadian Tire money for Keurig coffee pods. Or redeeming my Plum Points at Chapters.
My point is, that letting money (or its gift card equivalent) slip through our fingers is not smart. Wasting food or money is not good. Most of us can’t afford it yet I suspect we’re all guilty in some way. As farmers suffer and economies stall and God knows what Trump may do, we owe it to ourselves to think hard about what we’re doing and why. Smart spending practices that we ignore when we’re flush cost too much when we’re not. Being grateful for and safeguarding what we have makes sense, from where I sit.

Annie Tychkowsky 1920 – 2011
Mom You’ll never be forgotten We’re reminded of you every day With the love and strength you gave us, Before you went away.

The hands of time will not turn back, To when we were together But in the memories we cherish, You’ll be with us forever.

Around 15 people attended the Strategic Planning session in St. Michael on Thursday, November 17. This was the second of five public information sessions Lamont County will be hosting in order to gain input on future planning growth in the municipality. The next session will be held on Thursday, Nov. 30 in Bruderheim. On Dec. 1 a session will be held in Mundare, and the last session will be held in Chipman on Dec. 7.
Village of Andrew seeking input on future growth Michelle Pinon Editor
The Village of Andrew hosted an open house on Wednesday, Nov. 23 to gain public input regarding future development. A total of 12 people attended the open house in the village’s multipurpose room that evening to hear their thoughts in order to move forward with a Municipal Development Plan (MDP). Attendees were also invited to provide input by filling out a community consultation survey. Mayor Heather Tait said the opportunity was made available to the Village of Andrew by
Lamont County. “The survey was drawn up by Lamont County Intern Jordan Panasiuk. Members of village council were briefed during the Nov. 9 regular meeting. Residents were notified of the open house in a mail out of their monthly utility bill. Results of the consultation survey, which is also available on the village’s website, will be reviewed in December. Hard copies of the survey can also be picked up at the village office. Some of the questions on the community consultation ask residents to rate the village on where they see the Village of Andrew rowing in the
next 15 years, if it is a good place to raise children, if they feel safe, if there are adequate job opportunities, if there is adequate recreation and cultural activities, and adequate opportunities to get involved in the community. The survey also asks about where the focus should be in terms of residential development, what changes would be in order for future commercial and industrial businesses, recreational and community spaces, transportation, and environmental sensitive areas. economic development, and how to achieve the various goals.
Tait says the MDP will be part of the strategic planning process, (as a planning tool), to outline long term goals and plans. She went on to say, “A MDP is a document designed to guide the village’s growth and development. It takes the broad, high level goals that the village has set for itself in a vision and existing plans and policies, and brings them together to ensure orderly growth.” A draft of the MDP will be made available to the public prior to council’s adoption of it, noted Tait.

Giving Tree campaign now underway Michelle Pinon Editor
The Giving Tree. It is a new initiative spearheaded by the County of Lamont Food Bank to make Christmas brighter for local children. In fact, three ‘Giving Trees’ have been set up at the Lamont Home Hardware, Lamont Value Drug Mart and the Flower Pot this holiday season. The idea is for shoppers to take a tag from a Christmas tree, buy a gift, and return the ornament and the unwrapped gift before Dec. 15 to the box beside the giving tree. Betty Sheptycki said this will be the first time the food bank has conducted this type of campaign, and modelled it
after a similar one in Bruderheim, and is a great way to give back to the community. “We wanted to give donors a chance to get a little more personal, and do something different.” She went on to say, “Toys are given to children from newborn to 17. Eighty gift tags were made to hang on our giving trees this year. Last year, Christmas hampers included toys for 90 children. As always, our goal is to help those who are in most need of our support during the Christmas season. Folks are also welcome to make a cash donation to the food back that will use the cash to buy toys for leftover tags. to make a cash donation call 780619-6955.

Fentanyl drug awareness presentation held at Lamont High School Michelle Pinon Editor
The first question Cpl. Brad McIntosh posed to the crowd of around 90 people gathered in the gymnasium of Lamont High School Nov. 23 was: Who can tell me anything about Fentanyl? The first response: “It kills you when you take it.” Then came another response: “It slows down your respiration and then you stop breathing altogether.” Cpl. McIntosh said Fentanyl is a highly potent addictive man-made synthetic drug. Even though it has
a legitimate purpose, and is used for pain medication in hospitals, it is being processed illegally in mass quantities and sold. Getting help for someone who has ingested Fentanyl is critical, added Cpl. McIntosh as there is a short window of opportunity, 20 to 60 minutes depending on the potency, to reverse the symptoms. When lips and fingernails turn blue, skin is cold and clammy, and person is unresponsive are some of the key indicators that are in an overdose situation. Cpl. McIntosh also had
members of the audience pass around a sample of Naloxine/Narcan nasal spray that is kept on hand with ambulance personnel and at hospitals. “It is 80 to 100 times more powerful than morphine.” Even two grams of Fentanyl can kill a person. Some of the street names for the drug are: Apples, Beans, Eighties and Gems. Cpl. McIntosh said Fentanyl is imported from China in a powder form, and most often converted into pills with food grade dye that gives them a greenish appearance and on one side of the pill is CDN
and the other side is number 80. Fentanyl can also come in a powder form and be “cut” or mixed in with coffee beans, drink crystals, sucrose and lactose. The problem is it is very hard to track shipments of the product that is imported from China to Vancouver or the Great Lakes. Several labs have been shut down, but there are others operating, especially in remote or small communities in British Columbia and Alberta. In fact, one of the first clandestine labs to be discovered by RCMP was in the small community of Galahad,
Alberta in 2013. A pill press lab was discovered near Grand Prairie this year with several reported overdoses to emergency services personnel as recently as three weeks ago in the Barrhead-Westlock areas. Drug busts in Calgary and Beaumont were made in recent weeks as well, noted Cpl. McIntosh. “It’s happening all over.” The Province of British Columbia has declared Fentanyl a Health Emergency, and the Government of Alberta has called it a crisis, and both law enforce-
ment and health officials are working together to try and deal with this alarming and growing issue. Now that more people know what to look for regarding lab equipment and chemicals as well as the drug itself, they will be able to keep their eyes and ears open, and report any suspicious activity to RCMP or Crimestoppers if they wish to remain anonymous. Cst. Derrick Koller also recommended participants join the Heartland Citizens on Patrol to help protect their communities.

Bruderheim minor sports hosts paint night Michelle Pinon Editor
Paint was the perfect remedy for more than 75 parents and community members in Bruderheim recently who enjoyed an evening of creativity and fun thanks to volunteers with the local minor sports organization. The fundraiser, was held to raise money for the Bruderheim Minor Sports Association (BMSA), to raise money to offset ice fees for hockey this season. “It was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs were had by all,” said BMSA President Amber Tanner. Over the course of the fun-filled evening at the community hall they were able to raise $2,100. Tanner wanted to thank
everyone who attended the event and made it such a success. “Thank you everyone for helping us out. This helps keep sports in Bruderheim.” Tanner also wanted to thank all of the hockey parents for selling admission tickets, 50/50 tickets, selling snacks as well as setting up and cleaning up the facility before, during and after the event. She also wanted to thank volunteers with the Bruderheim Lions Club for selling alcoholic beverages and the DJ who kept everyone socializing till after 1 a.m. She also wanted to thank the Town of Bruderheim that offered support in a number of different ways. Even though it was a lot of work to set up the
event, but Tanner pointed out, “If you have amazing people all working together, it doesn’t seem like that much work getting it all organized.” This year the Bruderheim have two hockey
teams. The Initiation team will be hosting its home tournament on Jan. 28, 2017 and the Novice team will be hosting its home tournament Feb. 18 and 19. Fans are always welcome.

The Lamont Christmas Light Up keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. “It really takes a village, or in this case a town to put on an event like this,� stated light up committee chair Heather Price shortly after the Winter Wonder Lights Tour Saturday evening around 5:30 p.m. Price, one of the volunteers since the Light Up’s inception 13 years ago said the reason the event has been successful is because of the volunteers who had dedicated thousands of hours throughout the year as well as the overwhelming support from the town, businesses, community groups. This year there were 13 venues and 18 activities, both indoors and out for people of all ages. “We’re always looking for more volunteers, and are willing to take as many as come forward,� added Price. “Anyone who is MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS willing to roll up their Heather Price, back right, looks on while a group of sleeves is welcome.� young people gathered round to sing Christmas carBecause the event is ols before Santa flipped the switch and cut the ribbon getting larger and larger to officially kick-off Winter Wonder Lights. every year, they are

Fort Air Partnership (FAP), the organization that monitors the air local residents breathe, released third quarter Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) results today. The numbers show air quality in and around Alberta’s Industrial Heartland has been generally good so far in 2016. Five of FAP’s air monitoring stations collects data that is used by the Government of Alberta in the calculation of a daily AQHI. From January 1 to September 30, the index at those stations registered low risk readings the vast majority of the time. Bruderheim had the highest percentage of low risk readings and Fort Saskatchewan had the least. However all stations were in the low risk category more than 92% of the time. Only two stations, Gibbons and Fort Saskatchewan, had AQHI readings in the high risk category so far this year, but just for 21 hours. The Fort Saskatchewan station had a very high risk reading for three hours. FAP Executive Director Nadine Blaney explained that the high risk numbers and some of the moderate risk index results were caused by forest fire smoke coming from Fort McMurray and elsewhere earlier in the year. This impacted air quality throughout the entire Capital Region and other areas of the province.
