Landslide! Stubbs takes Lakeland Editor

Shannon Stubbs Michelle Pinon

No contest.

Chipman native and Two Hills resident Shannon Stubbs convincingly won a seat in the newly formed riding of Lakeland with more than 71 per cent of the vote.

For Stubbs, the victory was particularly satisfying, and fufills her dream of representing residents in the House of Commons.

She has been

campaigning in the constituency for well over a year, and the results speak for themselves.

Around 9:30 p.m.

Shannon told the Lamont Leader, “If elected, I will be proud to represent the constituents of Lakeland and I will make it my mission to promote Alberta and Alberta energy to the rest of Canada. I will keep advocating for the values and principles I ran on: lower taxes to empower Canadians and job creating businesses, free trade, safety and security, putting the rights of victims first in the justice system, and Canadian values and human rights.”

She went on to say, “I appreciate all the hours

and hard work my volunteers across the riding contributed to re-elect a Conservative as their representative.

They have worked their hearts out during hundreds of hours of effort across our big riding and I am so

grateful for all their contributions and sacrifices.”

With two-thirds of the polls (177) reporting in at press time, Stubbs had 27,233 votes compared to her next competitor Liberal Garry Parenteau

who had 5,390; followed

by NDP Duane Zaraska 3,653; and Green Party candidate Danielle Montgomery with 960 and Robert McFazadean with 423,

Babas & Borshch make short list for award SUBMITTED ARTICLE Lamont County’s Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival 2015 has made the shortlist for Travel Alberta’s Alto Awards for Marketing Excellence for the second time in the festival’s short existence according to Festival Coordinator Hazel Anaka.

“This is pretty exciting just as it was in 2013. But the competition is always stiff. This time we’re up against Fort Edmonton Park and a Canmore company called Rockies Heli Canada,” said Anaka.

“It’s hard not to feel like we’re in a David and Goliath scenario. But as they say in Hollywood, it’s an honour just to be a finalist. And of course,

this too increases our exposure.”

The Festival has used a comprehensive promotional strategy since its inception. Besides traditional print methods like ads, posters, postcards, and programs, the Festival has made good use of social media strategies like Facebook and Twitter in addition to a content-dense website.

An Edmonton Media Launch in June attracted TV and radio stations.

Closer to festival weekend, a series of taped interviews with ethnic radio aired. The Coordinator also cohosted a drive home show on another radio station. TV appearances by festival ambassador Baba Magda and the

Coordinator on CTV Morning Live and Alberta Primetime were attention-getters.

In addition, the Lamont County festivalthemed float participated in five parades over the summer.

Winners will be announced at the Alto Awards Gala on October 26th in conjunction with the Travel Alberta Industry Conference in Banff.

Grand Opening Celebration for Mundare School Michelle Pinon Editor

At 1:31 p.m. on Friday, October 16th the official grand opening ceremony for Mundare School got underway with the singing of O Canada by members of the school’s Glee Club.

Guests, mostly comprised of elected officials and school board trustees, sat in the gymnasium to mark the occasion. There were a handful of parents and community members present as well, and enjoyed listening to Grade 1 students say what they were thankful for before singing the song Six Little Turkeys. Members of the Glee Club then came on stage to sing Ed Sheeran’s song Photograph.

Principal Liane Schultz made opening remarks to the students, staff and guests. Schultz talked about the vision, passion, spirit and relationships that are being fostered in the new school as well as the “much improved learning and physical environment” that has been created.

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood said she loves the smell of new paint, and the new happenings at the value of having a modernized facility for the children. Littlewood said school is much more than a place of learning, and that it has impacted several generations, and will continue to do so in the present and future.

She touched on the importance of being able to stay in the community, and attend the local school, and congratulated everyone involved with the project.

Boymook went on to say, “We have created a place where students will grow and learn; they will ask questions, seek answers, and gain knowledge that will prepare them for a lifetime.

The new school will build our community, and build future generations.”

The new school opened with a students capacity of 250, and can be expanded to accommodate 325 students.

The school has more than 2,500 square metres of space for students and staff. Other features include six sate-of-theart classrooms, three modulars, a spacious library, a full size gymnasium, a music and art room, a career and technology studies area, administration, offices, washrooms, and other services and support areas.

To mark the end of the ceremony, Littlewood presented Boymook with a certificate with Alberta’s Coat of Arms.

They were accompanied

Trina Boymook, chair of the board of trustees for Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), told the audience that it was an honour to celebrate the opening of this “great facility”, and what an exciting day it was for EIPS and the community of Mundare. “When the project began four years ago we couldn’t imagine a school this magnificent.

It’s fabulous – what we see at Mundare School is an inspiring new facility designed to stimulate the minds of every person who spends time here.”

Opinion Interactive policing keeps us safe How many times have we read about an online sale that went wrong? The buyer comes to the home of the seller with no intention to buy the item at all, but rather stake out the site for a future crime. Or perhaps the “buyer” shows up during the daytime when a woman is home alone?

Questions arise: Do I want a stranger to know where I live, know what I look like, and whether or not I am married or have children? Do I want them to know what possessions I have? Do I trust their intentions?

Weighed against the exchange of goods for money, which is often under $100, a person wonders if the risk factor is really worth it.

I thought it was very progressive and interactive for the police in the town of Truro, Nova Scotia to invite transactions to occur right in the lobby of the police station. Plus they invite larger transactions to occur in the rear parking lot which is video controlled.

According to Edmonton police, the practice wouldn’t work in a larger city because the officers are already struggling to keep up with calls. They claim this would just add to their workload and that they don’t get involved in civil transactions.

Certainly the police don’t want an extra workload, but isn’t policing more about safety than it is about handing out tickets to bring in money for the municipality? Or should I ask, at least shouldn’t it be?

Perhaps the police in Truro, a city of 12,000, will also discover that their offer becomes overwhelming. It’s difficult to understand the amount of such transactions they would be involved with, however Canadians apparently exchange $30 billion worth of used items annually.

For now the people of Truro have a safe option.

For the rest of us: conduct your sale in a public place with video surveillance; bring a friend, at least one; get a piece of identification sent to you by email before the transaction, buyer or seller; have a bill of sale, signed by the buyer and seller both; get cash or a secured financial guarantee.

Letter to the Editor We need stronger federal gov’t role in health care, says author Dear Editor, It is unfortunate that our Canadian Government has abandoned it's leadership role when it comes to Canada's Public Medicare System. Said Federal NDP Health Critic, Libby Davies: "The federal government must work with the provinces to create health care reforms that ensure that Canadians continue to receive quality health care, and that this standard of care is guaranteed across the country.

Canadians deserve equal access to affordable medications, team-based primary care clinics with doctors, nurses and allied health professionals; care across their lifespan; and preventative health education and resources."

Our Prime Minister and the Federal Health Minister should call for a First Ministers Meetings with all the Provincial and Territorial Premiers and Health Ministers in negotiating a new National Health Accord and expand and strengthen the Canada Health Act by implementing National Standards, especially for Home Care, Pharmacare,

and Medical or Assistive Devices(including Ostomy and Diabetic supplies). Unfortunately, not once has Prime Minister Harper ever called for a National First Ministers Health Conference during his whole term in office (2006 - 2015)!

In his March 28, 2014 email message, Federal NDP Opposition Leader, Thomas Mulcair states: "New Democrats are urging the Harper government to work out a deal to ensure that every Canadian has access to physician and hospital care when they need it— regardless of the where they live, their economic or social status. This was the vision of Tommy Douglas who believed that "health services ought not to have a price-tag on them, and that people should be able to get whatever health services they required irrespective of their individual capacity to pay.”

We know that there is an important leadership role for the federal government in health care delivery—the federal government should be providing a stable funding formula for the Canada Health Transfer,

ensuring that all provinces and territories can provide a high standard of care and honour the Canada Health Act. But, instead of providing leadership and properly funding our health care system, the Conservatives are slowly strangling it. They're changing the way they divide federal health transfers, leaving some provinces worse off.

They unilaterally imposed 36 billion dollars in cuts to health care funding and continue to refuse to negotiate with the provinces and territories on the health accords.

The result of all these Conservative cuts and inaction? Canadians will face a diminished health care system: even longer wait times, unequal standards of care across provinces and territories, reduced front-line services, continued inflation in drug costs and reduced access to home care and long-term care."

As for Newfoundland & Labrador, we need to stress the importance of our provincial political leaders, especially the Premier and the Minister of Health & Community Services to join their Provincial and Territorial

Counterparts from Canada's 9 other provinces and 3 territories to call on the Prime Minister, the Federal Health Minister and the current/next Federal Government to come to the negotiating table and work out a new National Health Accord; to reintroduce the National Pharmaceutical Strategy and a National Pharmacare Program!

And, the Federal Government needs to reverse it's unilateral decision to cut $36 Billion from the Federal Health Transfers to the Provinces and Territories. Such a Hugh cut will restrict or prevent provinces, like Newfoundland & Labrador, to implement improvements in our overall healthcare system, including NLPDP; to build new Healthcare Infrastructure, like the Waterford Replacement Hospital Project and lower "wait-times" to see specialists, such as Psychiatrists, Publicly funded Psychologists, Neuropsychiatrists and other Health Providers.

Chipman council approves area structure plan Industrial development outlined Michelle Pinon Editor

Developer Ted Rae was on hand to answer any questions regarding the Chipman Industrial Park Area Structure Plan (ASP) during a public hearing on October 13 in council chambers.

The plan, which

included an engineering report by the firm Stratum Logics Inc. that was dated Sept. 29, 2015, encompasses a quarter section of land located at Township Road 544 and Secondary Highway 834 (NE24-54-19-W4).

The ASP, (Bylaw No. 551-2015), provides the framework for future

development, but Rae would only say that Entrec, which operates a staging yard on part of the site, would be expanding its operation another 10 acres. As to other future prospects, Rae did not elaborate on those prospects.

Rae’s request, that was first brought before

council in May, received first reading at that time.

Since then, Mayor Jim Palmer said the village had requested answers to questions in regards to the development. “It has been a long process for sure,” stated Palmer.

There were no written submissions regarding the ASP, and only one village resident, who stated they did not have any objections, asked a couple of questions regarding pipelines that

development. “We (the village) haven’t incurred a dollar’s worth of expenses...

Anything that goes down are Ted’s costs.”

The public hearing closed, and council passed second and third readings of the ASP bylaw. Council also passed second and third readings of the Municipal Development Plan for the property.

run through the property. Both Alliance and Trans Canada have pipelines on the property.

“The development does not affect me personally, but what is the cost to the town to do the development and how will the will it recoup the money?” asked resident Keith Clifford. Palmer made it perfectly clear that the village has not and will not be spending a dime in regards to the

From Where I Sit: Say Thank You

By Hazel Anaka Last weekend the fortunate will have tucked into a Thanksgiving feast. You know the kind: the one where people need to loosen their waistbands to make room for a piece of pumpkin pie. The kind that has some reaching for an antacid and others jockeying for the prime spots for a post-meal snooze.

If the hostess is particularly creative there were decorative gourds,

coloured leaves, scarecrows, pumpkins, and a turkey to delight the kids and create some ambience. These last items may have been ceramic, paper, wooden, metal, or some other composition.

Houses were full of delectable smells, mouth-watering dishes, and the clamour of families who are gathering for this special day.

Of all days, this is one to cherish. It hasn’t been commercialized to death.

The purpose hasn’t been blurred. It provides the perfect opportunity to say thank you. Those of us engaged in raising food (grain, animals, market vegetables) know and appreciate the bounty of the earth and our obligation as stewards of the land. If harvest was complete, the mood was relaxed.

But of course it can and should be bigger than a celebration of the harvest. It is a reminder to acknowledge all our blessings in all aspects of

Robbery suspect still not identified RCMP seeking assistance

The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a male suspect, in relation to the attempted robbery that occurred on September 10, 2015.

At approximately 12:19 a.m., the Fort Saskatchewan R C M P responded to a 911 call of and attempted robbery at the Lamont Hotel located at 4815 51 Street, Lamont, AB. The male was last seen running from the location on Main Street, towards Highway 15.

The suspect is described as Male, chubby, approximately 5’8” tall, with sandy blond hair, wearing a green or grey sweater, jeans, black bandana over face and carrying a red bag.

If you have witnessed this incident or can identify the suspect (see picture), please contact Constable Ruddick of the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-9926100 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or at www.crimestoppers.ca to remain anonymous.

our lives. Most of us don’t do that nearly often enough. Daily prayers and a gratitude journal are tools available to all of us all the time but maybe don’t get the sustained discipline they require to be truly effective.

It’s trite (but true) to say that without our health we have nothing.

So let’s begin by thanking God for the gift of good health. Granted, many of us have challenges and all of us battle the ravages of aging. But as they say, any day above ground is a good one. Luckily for me whatever problems I’ve had were ‘structural’ not systemic. Shoulder surgery, yes but heart disease, no. Misplaced and twisted stomach, yes but cancer, no. Cataracts and plantar fasciitis, yes but diabetes, no. All fixable, all good, all above ground!

Next in the blessings hit parade is family. I lucked out with both

husband and children.

There have never been any big problems (other than Greg’s ten year battle with alopecia areata), just the usual marriage and childrearing blips.

No addictions, convictions, failures, betrayals.

In the big picture there have been more wins than losses, more happy days than mad or bad ones. But only if you take time to notice and say thanks.

Having the good fortune to pick one’s projects for work and play bring back the control over one’s life. Lest you think I haven’t had to work hard on some lousy jobs, think again.

But I know I have the power to change circumstances when necessary to achieve satisfaction and a feeling of fulfillment. That’s the beauty of choice and another blessing. Finding reasons to say thank you is easy when you start looking, from where I sit.

We have them at the Lamont Leader!

Town of Bruderheim’s long time public works director retires SUBMITTED ARTICLE September 30th marked the end of Bob Cote’s career with the Town of Bruderheim.

After 22 years of dedicated service, the Director of Public Works has retired.

“Bob exemplified the commitment to a quality of life we feel is unsurpassed in our region,” says Bruderheim Mayor, Karl Hauch. “He was an outstanding leader as Director and illustrated his community spirit as both a staff member and as a volunteer for the Bruderheim Fire D e p a r t m e n t , Communities in Bloom and countless other events and initiatives.”

Prior to working for Bruderheim, Cote was employed at Elk Island National Park and at Acklands Ltd. He was hired on with the town in 1993 and has fulfilled the

Bob Cote roles of Town Foreman and Director of Public Works. “It has been a pleasure working for the town,” admits Cote.

“I’ve enjoyed all aspects of the job—the meetings, the projects and working with the Public Works crew and administrative staff.” For Cote’s first 18 years, there were only three employees in Public Works, and now that number has doubled

to six.

Cote plans to enjoy his hobbies and relax as much as he is able.

“Speaking from experience, he may just find that much more to keep himself busy,” adds Councillor Pat Lee. “We thank Bob for all he has done for our community through his many years of service,” says Hauch. “We are truly fortunate for dedicated folks like him—he has so much to take pride in for the work he has done and the mark he has left behind. On behalf of all Staff and Council, we congratulate Bob on his retirement and wish him all the very best as he steps into his new future. We hope he enjoys it to the fullest.”

The Town now welcomes Dave Rarog as the new Director of Public Works. Rarog, the former Supervisor of Bruderheim’s Public

Harvest; a time of giving and sharing Michelle Pinon Editor

You never know where a good conversation will lead you.

In the case of local MLA Jessica Littlewood, it recently steered her in the direction of Mundare, and to Dan and Delores Warawa’s farm northeast of the community.

Littlewood explained that during a conversation with Dan Warawa at the grand opening of the RCMP detachment in Fort Saskatchewan, she expressed her disappointment that plans to go combining with a local farmer had fallen through. So Warawa decided to ask her to come for a ride on his combine the following week.

She took him up on the offer.

“When I didn’t get a phone call I thought I’d lost my opportunity. Then I mentioned it to him (Warawa) at the RCMP opening. He said there had to

be a hard frost before the flax pod cracked open.”

Conditions were right, and Littlewood headed out to the Warawa residence, for a firsthand harvesting experience.

“I sat shotgun and watched the pro in action,” said Littlewood. “He was awfully kind,” she added.

Warawa, who has sat on council for 10 years, said it was good to get together for a one-on-one conversation, and inform her on some of the issues the county is facing. Warawa said that even though not everyone wanted an NDP government, they all have to work together, and he would like to have good relations between the two levels of government.

They both enjoyed visiting and talking politics for a couple of hours. Becoming an MLA has been a complete lifestyle change for Littlewood, but she admits she loves every minute of it. While it is difficult to pin down all the different perspectives on the various issues, Littlewood said it was a great opportunity to listen to Warawa’s point of view. “It’s definitely important to hear their perspective,” referring to how local municipal councils feel on proposed changes to the Municipal Government Act (MGA) as well as other issues that affect them directly.

While Littlewood doesn’t pretend to have all answers, she is most appreciative of the feedback and questions of Warawa, other elected representatives and fellow constituents.

Renovation costs to administration office go through the roof Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County council went behind closed doors for nearly three hours last Tuesday, Oct. 13th.

Under the purview of legal, land and personnel issues, council’s in-camera session included a report from Gerald Cree of WSP, the engineering firm hired to oversee the renovations of the county administration building.

Prior to a council motion to go in-camera at 9:36 a.m., Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Robyn Singleton informed the media present that part of the

renovations presentation would be held in-camera, and part out-of-camera. However, none of the presentation was made public, and council went out of camera at 12:20 p.m., then adjourned for lunch until 1:39 p.m.

After lunch Deputy Reeve Dan Warawa made a motion directing administration to accept the addition of $109,564.25 for roof repairs, main electrical service upgrade at an estimated cost of $50,000, and hazardous waste abatement at an estimated cost of $37,394.57.

There were no questions or discussion on the item, and the motion was passed unanimously.

In a follow up interview with CAO Singleton, he stated that council did not have a chance to go over that information prior to the council meeting, and that is why members chose to go in-camera.

Singleton pointed out that as far as hazardous abatement, council knew it would be required, but did not know the extent or cost of asbestos removal until things were took apart. In addition, “The roof was discovered to be in worse shape than first thought.

We knew there would be work to be done, but not to the same extent. The life expectancy for the existing roof is not very long so it made sense to

take the skin off now.”

Singleton explained that the seal, a rubber like membrane had failed due to age and climate conditions, and that is why council felt it should be replaced.

As far as the electrical upgrade, Singleton said it was necessary because of problems with the connection from the transformer to the conduit and main breaker inside the building.

Singleton said there is a contingency for these repairs and upgrades in the renovation budget, and wanted to reassure the public the county has the “appropriate budget” for the project.

Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood was delighted to be invited combining with Mundare area producer Dan Warawa. Lamont Countyʼs Deputy Reeve had a lot of information to share with the rookie politician while combining flax.

Senior Lodge employees join union Forty-one employees at three seniors lodges in Lamont County became the newest members of AUPE following a vote held on Oct. 1 and 2.

“I congratulate these workers on coming together to have a voice at work,” said AUPE Vice-President Mike Dempsey. “By joining Alberta’s largest union, they can be better advocates for both themselves and the residents they serve. ”Lamont County Housing Foundation employs the workers at three seniors housing lodges in Lamont, Mundare and Andrew.

“AUPE members work in every corner of this province serving Albertans in big cities and small rural communities alike,” said Dempsey. “As part of AUPE, these workers can make improvements at work for the benefit of themselves, their families and communities as well as the seniors who depend on their services.”

The results of the vote were confirmed by the Alberta Labour Relations Board, which issued a certification on Oct. 8. Dempsey told the Lamont Leader that labour relations will soon begin negotiations.

The next step will be for representatives from the new union to negotiate a collective agreement with housing foundation representatives.

EIPS pleased with PAT results Students from Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) are celebrating another year of strong results on their 2014–2015 Provincial Achievement Tests (PAT).

Alberta Education released its provincewide PAT results. EIPS students in Grade 6 and Grade 9 who completed the provincial achievement tests outperformed the provincial averages in almost all subjects at both the Acceptable Standard and the Standard of Excellence.

Particularly impressive, 91 per cent of Grade 6 students achieved the Acceptable Standard in English Language Arts with 25 per cent of stu-

dents achieving the Standard of Excellence.

Meanwhile, in Grade 6 Science, more than 34 per cent of students achieved the Standard of Excellence.

Equally impressive, Grade 9 students in English Language Arts 9, Science 9, and Social Studies 9 significantly exceeded the provincial averages in the Standard of Excellence category.

And, in the Acceptable Standard category, EIPS students exceeded the provincial average by approximately 10 per cent in English Language Arts 9, French Language Arts 9, Mathematics 9, Science 9, and Social Studies 9.

“We are thrilled with

the results released today by Alberta Education,” said Trina Boymook, the Board Chair at EIPS. “We applaud all of our students, teachers, staff, parents, and communities. These results are a clear indication we are offering our students the right supports and tools needed for them to achieve the best possible educational outcomes.

Looking ahead, EIPS will continue to concentrate on ways to meet the educational needs of our students.” The PATs are a snapshot of student achievement in various curricula from the Alberta Program of Studies in Grade 6 English and French lan-

guage arts, math, science, and social studies and in Grade 9 English and French language arts, math, science, social studies, and related knowledge and employability (KAE) courses.

“The PAT results help us to better understand student achievement in the respective programs,” says Boymook.

“Every year, we analyze these results and use the data to inform our teachers, schools, and Board on the areas we are doing well in and the areas we can improve on.” A Standard of Excellence refers to students who demonstrate a mastery of the core subject material.

Province releases diploma exam results Alberta Education released its provincewide Diploma Examination Results report for the 2014–2015 school year.

EIPS is thrilled to announce its students achieved exceptional results again this year, with 91 per cent of all diploma examinations scores being higher than the provincial averages at the Acceptable Standard.

In almost all diploma courses, the percentage of EIPS students who achieved the Acceptable Standard was more than the provincial average.

Particularly impressive, EIPS students in English 30-1, English 30-2, French Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-2, Social Studies 30-2, and Science 30 significantly exceeded provincial averages in the Acceptable Standard category. Meanwhile, students in English 30-1, English 30-2, Mathematics 30-2, and Biology 30 exceeded provincial averages in the Standard of Excellence category. “We are extremely proud of the results released

today by Alberta Education,” says Trina Boymook, the Board Chair at EIPS. “The results illustrate that we, as a division, are supporting our students and enhancing their learning.

Division wide, we have an incredible team of teachers and staff who are doing a fantastic job of developing our students to achieve the best possible educational outcomes.”

A Standard of Excellence refers to students who demonstrate a mastery of the core subject material. An Acceptable Standard refers to students who demonstrate an understanding of the subject material. EIPS uses various reporting inputs, including diploma examination results, to evaluate the success of the student-learning experience. As part of the division’s commitment to continuous improvement, principals will be reviewing their individual school results and sharing them with their staff and school communities. The results will then be compiled and used to guide each

school’s education plans and the division’s Annual Education Results Report.

Alberta Education requires students who take 30-1 and 30-2 level courses in English and French language arts, social studies, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and science to write a diploma examination.

Final course marks for the 2014–2015 school year were determined by blending 50 per cent of the diploma exam mark with 50 per cent of the school-awarded grades.

As of September 2015, diploma examination weighting will shift from a 50/50 weighting to a 70/30 weighting, where diploma examination marks will be worth 30 per cent of a student’s final grade.

In addition, statistics for each year are based on the result of students who wrote diploma examinations and had corresponding school marks. EIPS is one of Alberta’s largest school divisions, serving approximately 16,900 students in 42 schools.

Notes from the October 13, 2015 Council Meeting Motions Arising from In Camera The County will be negotiating with the two lowest bidders for a supply of gravel for 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Council approved the additions made to the Administration Building renovations contract to include roof construction, hazardous waste abatement and main electrical service.

Unsightly Bylaw In August, Council was presented with a copy of the “Nuisance and Unsightly Premises Bylaw.” Council completed the first reading, but requested more information on what is considered an ‘unsightly premises’. Legal advice has been provided for clarification on that issue. Council requests that clause 3.2F requesting grass in ditches be maintained to a 10 cm length be revised before second and third reading be completed. Revisions will be brought to the the next council meeting.

Levy on Mineral Soils At a previous council meeting, Administration was requested to do research in regards to adding mineral soils to our Sand and Gravel Levy Bylaw. Research has been completed and it is recommended that a revision be made to the Road Use Agreement, instead, to add a levy to the hauling of mineral soils. The Road Use Agreement will be amended and brought back to council.

Delegation – STARS A representative of STARS air ambulance presented to council, and requested that Lamont County become a member of the Alberta Municipal Initiative with a pledge of $2 per capita ($7744) and a 2 year commitment. Council will refer the request to discuss during the 2016 Budget meeting.

Delegation – Nemirsky A request has been brought forward to rename RR 182 from highway 29 to 45 Nemirsky Road. Following County Policy the Nemirsky’s brought the names of 80% of the property owners in the area who agree to the road naming. The names and reasons for renaming will be considered and a decision brought to the next meeting of council.

WCB Core Achievement Awards As Lamont County has successfully passed their COR and received a WCB surplus distribution, and as there is no program in place as of yet to reward staff for safe employment practices, the Lamont County Health & Safety Committee will be rewarding each Lamont County employee with $100. Going forward, the intent of the Safety Award program will be to use the PIR and COR WCB premium reduction to fund awards.

Road Closure Policy A recent request was received from landowners to have the portion of the old Victoria Trail that bisects their land closed.

However, the County does not have a policy or procedure in place for road closures. A policy will be drafted and brought back to council at the next council meeting.

For full contest details go to the Lamont County website.

October 29, 2015, from 9-3 p.m. at the St. Michael Hall.

Get your tickets now! $35 at the Administration Building!

A pair of prescription glasses was left at the Public Works Building. Please call 780-8952547 to claim them!
