Prosit!

It was time to raise a glass and celebrate Bavarian style on Oct. 26 at the St. Michael Recreation Centre.

Members of the Bavarian Schuhplattlers entertained the crowd of around 300 people during the flambuoyant family fun night. The decor was exquisite and the traditional banquet was scrumptious and enjoyed by the youngest to oldest in attendance.

Oktoberfest full of merry making for one and all Michelle Pinon Editor

The merry making tradition of Oktoberfest continued in St. Michael on Oct. 25 as around 300 people took part in the festive fall celebration.

“We’re all friends here,” stated MC Mae Adamyk, before Grace was recited in German and then in English.

Praise and thanksgiving were given for the bountiful harvest, for family and friends, for those who prepared the meal and wishes for a safe return home.

Then guests were served pureed pumpkin

soup and pretzel buns to start off the meal. Guests served themselves during the buffet style main course which consisted

of: coleslaw, beet pickles, bratwurst, ham, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes. There were several types of squares and pas-

Particpants gathered for a group shot before the dancing began after a delicious supper.

tries for dessert as well.

This was the sixth year the St. Michael Community & District Agricultural Society hosted the Oktoberfest celebration, and organizers were pleased with the turn out.

Oktoberfest is the world’s largest fun fair, and is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The 16 day event begins in late September until the first week in October. The tradition dates back to 1810, and today many other countries host their own Oktoberfest celebrations modeled after the original Munich event.

Recent vandelism to Hillside Park prompts discussion about town’s parklands policy Michelle Pinon Editor

Recent Vandalism in Hillside Park in Lamont had some town councillors talking about enforcement and perhaps revisitation of its parklands policy.

“We have to ask RCMP to implement and enforce our curfew policy,” stated coun. Wayne Field during the Oct. 14 meeting.

Chief Administrative Office Sandi Maschmeyer said she had spoken to RCMP about the matter.

Coun. Steve Sharon said council should maybe see if we can tighten up the policy. But Field said there were designated hours already in the policy.

According to the Town of Lamont Parks Bylaw, all parks owned by the town shall be closed to the public from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. “Any person who contrives Section 2 of this bylaw is guilty of an offence and will be charged with trespassing and is liable upon con-

viction to a fine of $200 dollars.”

The intent of the bylaw, passed on July 22, 2008, is to control the use of parklands and open space for the benefit of the citizens of the Town of Lamont. According to the bylaw, “The council of the Town of Lamont deems it desirable and in the public interest to exercise and control the use of parklands and open space for the benefit of the citizens of the Town of Lamont.”

The bylaw also states: “No discharge or cause to be discharged fireworks of any type without the prior written approval of the Fire Chief and the Town of Lamont.”

Other provisions include: (b) Throw or cast any stone or missile. (c) Use any type of golfing equipment. (d) Cut, break, bend, climb upon, or in any way injure or deface any turf, tree, shrub, hedge, plant, flower, park ornament, building, playground equipment or other installation.

MP Leon Benoit recounts horrifying event in Ottawa Lorraine Poulsen Editor - Viking Weekley Review

With strong determination in his voice Leon Benoit, Member of Parliament (MP) for Vegreville-Wainwright told the Weekly Review that although the events which took place on Parliament Hill Wednesday, Oct. 22, were frightening, he and

Leon Benoit MP Vegreville-Wainwright his fellow members of parliament are determined not to be intimidated by such acts of terrorism.

MP Benoit spoke to the paper from Ottawa the next day, Thursday, Oct. 23, just before 10 a.m. (noon Ottawa time) almost exactly 24 hours after what must have been a harrowing experience for everyone

involved.

He spoke about being at a caucus meeting when gunfire erupted in the hallway immediately outside the doorway of the caucus room.

“There was a flurry of shots right outside the door. I envisioned a group of attackers shooting at random.” he said.

He said he was initially frightened but then was surprised by a calm feeling which overtook him. He said his colleagues in the room proved cool under attack.

“I immediately thought of my wife, our children and our grandchildren. I worried for them.

“But we actually had a lot of cool heads in the room,” he said He explained how almost as one, he and all the members of the caucus used chairs to barricade the four doors leading into the room.

He said they then took the flag poles from their resting places and posted a person at each door holding a pole.

“It was really all we had to defend ourselves,” he said.

MP Benoit said the waiting and wondering was hard. Not knowing what was happening just outside the door was nerve-wracking.

What is now known is that while the Prime Minister and members of the caucus were meeting,

the first reports of gunfire were sounded and within minutes reports were coming in that a soldier had been gunned down near the grave of the War Memorial.

Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, a reservist from Hamilton, was standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier when an armed attacker stepped forward and fatally shot him. Despite the best efforts of passersby to revive Cpl. Cirillo, the young solder succumbed to his wounds.

Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian born in 1982, was named as the person who fired the fatal shots.

Immediately following the shooting at the War Memorial, shots were reported inside the main Parliament building.

It was these shots that MP Benoit and his fellow caucus members joined forces and reacted to.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in the room when the shots rang out but was protected, and it was soon announced that he was safe and had left Parliament Hill.

MP Benoit said he did not know what “the goal”of the gunman was but if, as he suspected, it was to kill the Prime Minister, “he was not successful.”

He said the government has faced any number of threats and attacks but all have been

stopped before causing harm.”And we are going to continue to work hard to pass legislation which will give the police and the courts the tools needed to protect this country,” he said.

He said it is important that there is open public access to all government buildings but that security measurers may have to be heightened.

MP Benoit said he and his colleagues were held in lockdown on the Hill until about 7 p.m. and then were transported by bus to Foreign Affairs offices where they were finally ìfreedî at about 9:30 p.m.

MP Benoit spoke of his great respect for the work of the Ottawa city police, the House of Commons security staff and the members of the military who all sprang into action. And he thanked House of Commons Sergeant-atArms Kevin Vickers for his reported role in stopping the gunman.

“He (Vickers) sits just five to six feet from me in

Parliament. We sometimes think of his role as ceremonial but he is in charge of security and on this day, he picked up his gun and took action. I am so very thankful for his dedication and service.”

On Thursday, the day following the incident, Vickers was given a number of standing ovations for his actions by all members of Parliament.

MP Benoit also wanted to thank everyone who

phoned his Ottawa and local constituency office asking after his wellbeing and sending best wishes.”Thank you all so very much,” he said.

MP Benoit said Oct. 22 will be a day he will long remember and one he hopes “will never be repeated.”

Opinion

Imagine humans without narcissism The gunman in Ottawa last week and the terrorism re-introducing itself to Canada, is all just a symptom of a sometimes sick society created by the human race. Our biggest flaw has always been one thing: ego.

Humans are a narcissistic lot. Until science came about showing homo sapiens that the Sun doesn’t revolve around the Earth - and that the Earth is just one of many rock and gas planets orbiting a regularly-sized star - our ancestors thought they were the masters of all they surveyed and everything was here to please and benefit them.

Of course many still hold onto this belief.

But a lot of evidence must be ignored to do so.

Physics has shown us that we are on a rock in an insignificant solar system, within an ordinary galaxy which is in orbit around what is likely a massive black hole.

Now considering that there are 100 billion stars (most with planets) in each of an estimated 100 billion galaxies in a universe (which some scientists now theorize is only one of many), it does seem to raise the question as to our importance. Gasp.

Further evidence points to an Earth that was still revolved around the Sun for some reason 4,999,000,000 years before human beings.

But just imagining the likeliness that the human species isn’t that remarkable is not possible for many. Not only do they see themselves as immensely important in the big picture, but so too are like-minded people, and their unified beliefs.

It is only this feeling of self-importance and entitlement that allows people’s minds to justify being judge, jury and executioner. This self-appointed omnipotence is what allows these people to wreak havoc on the entire planet including generally peaceful Canada.

For such an important and brilliant species, humans seem to be oddly slow learners when it comes to tolerance, respect for other people’s beliefs, and their rights to exist in harmony.

Letter to the Editor Hello. In my 53 years I never wrote a letter to the editor yet here I find my second one in as many months. Just wondering how town council sets their priorities.

First, my empathy to the Shinkinger family. It is a travesty that all the hard work of Conrad and other long time member/families of the Agricultural Society are to be written off so quickly and callously of some Councillors and employees of the Town.

Be assured Conrads memory will be carried on.

My biggest concern is how many hats town councillors are wearing.

This is a small town so reasonable that a Councillor is also a member of a volunteer organisation and good on them for being so. Yet, each “job” needs to be

Kerry Anderson Publisher

kept separate from the other.

I feel that the Valentine Cup is a great event to bring together current and former members of the community for a reunion with the resulting camaraderie and fellowship that keeps our community strong. Also, their financial contribution to our community facilities is greatly appreciated.

The biggest problem as I see it is the favouritism that seems rampant in our current council.

Councillor Dave Taylor presented the motion that the town contribute $5,000.00 to the Valentines Cup on their 40th anniversary. He is also on the V-Cups Committee. Does this not represent a pecuniary interest? Even if it technically does not, should he have not

Michelle Pinon Editor

excused himself from all debate (especially making the motion) as a sign of transparency and non-interference with the parliamentary process? Also later in the article it states that the Town supports milestones of 25, 50 75 years.

How does 40 fit into this criteria?

My understanding is that Councillor Sharun has attended meetings as both a Councillor and a representative of the Lions club.

Conversations with members of the Lions club suggest he did NOT have authorization to represent the Lions club.

It really should be a separate person such as the president or a member of the executive who does not have ties with the town.

Council (and high ranking members of

administration) appears to have become a dictatorship with no concerns regarding the citizenship. To give money to one community group while ejecting another from the town just doesn’t seem right.

I was planning on making a difference in the next election but instead am leaving this town in the next year.

The town’s loss I guess.

Good luck to the Valentines Cup. Have a great tournament.

Remember each time you bank a shot or crush an opponent into the boards where the money for those boards came from. Certainly wasn’t the town.

Local MP grateful for kind words and concern following harrowing terrorist attack in Ottawa We will not be intimidated. We will be vigilant, but we will not run scared. We will be prudent, but we will not panic. Canada will never yield to terrorism and neither will this House of Commons - we carry on. We will attend to the country’s affairs and we will be faithful to the trust that people have placed in us.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper Yesterday’s (Oct. 22) events on Parliament Hill were shocking and tragic. I thank everyone who called and emailed expressing concern about my welfare. Your thoughts and prayers are always welcome, and certainly greatly appreciated on a day such as yesterday.

Personally, this was a frightening moment where I expected gunmen to walk through the unlocked doors shooting. I instantly envisioned a group of attackers shooting at will because if they had gotten by security there would be no one to stop them.

Luckily, it was a lone gunman and thankfully the

House of Commons security killed the terrorist before he could kill the Prime Minister and those of us in the Caucus Room.

Commons Prime Minister Harper thanked all the men and women who stand in the face of evil to keep our Canadian values and people, safe.

I thought of my wife, our children and our grandchildren and wondered if I would ever see them again. An incredible calm passed over me in spite of the fear. I was so proud of my fellow MPs (especially former police officers and CF personnel) who immediately took action to protect all of us. They, and others, barricaded the four doors and posted a ‘guard’ on both sides of each door with flag poles as weapons - which was all we had available in the room.

“In the past couple of decades we see across the world increasing places where the planet is descending into savagery and there are people who, every day of their lives, stand on guard for this country and for all of us. We obviously want to convey our gratitude to these two servicemen and their families, but also to all the people who undertake this extremely dangerous work on behalf of our country.”

It was a long day as we were in lockdown until about 9:30pm, not knowing what was going on. This was definitely not a “normal” day at the office.

However, others suffered much more.

It is heartbreaking to see the photos of Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, two Canadian Forces members murdered by cowards this week. This morning in the House of

My colleagues and I thank you again for your kind words and concern. We are back at work today, more resolved than ever to uphold the Canadian values of democracy and freedom.

God bless this country.

$1.2 M reno project to proceed Michelle Pinon Editor

It’s all systems go for the $1.2 renovation project of Lamont County’s public works building.

Council gave the a okay during its organizational meeting on Oct. 21 by passing the motion directing administration to proceed with the renovations to the public works building and award Vantage Builders the contract in the amount of $1,086,597.

Council also directed

administration to fund the Lamont County public works building renovations from MSI capital funding in the amount of $1,246,597.

The reason for the difference in the amount of funds allocated ($160,000) is to cover engineering costs of the project, noted communications co-ordinator Heather Atkinson.

Of the six companies bidding on the project, Vantage Builders had the lowest bid, and is expected to start on the project shortly. The project is

expected to take 34 weeks.

As far as proposed renovations to the administration building, discussions will be postponed until budget discussions begin. Only one bid was received on the administration building project and engineers with WSP recommended council not accept it because it wasn’t fair competition.

Town of Bruderheim looking for back up support to replace its failing ice plant Several initiatives now underway in the community Michelle Pinon Editor

The Town of Bruderheim is doing everything possible to help save its arena, and now it is counting on people’s votes in order to qualify for grant funding through the AVIVA Community Fund.

The town has made it through to the second round of voting, but it still needs all the votes it can get in order to advance to the semi final round. The town is competing against many other communities across Canada who are vying for support of their local programs, projects and activities.

Ice Plant to save the Bruderheim Arena is the name of the town’s fundraising idea that was officially created on Sept. 22.

According to the overview, the town is seeking funding in the highest level; between $50,000 and $100,000.

“As a small community of nearly 1,350 residents

facing growth and economic change within Alberta’s Capital Region, our resources are stretched too thin to meet the $400,000 bill for a new ice plant.

“We may lose our arena. Which in turn would mean the loss of organized hockey to empower our youth and keep them focused, the loss of essential programming to inspire healthy living, and the loss of a facility to house community group activities and community events.”

Judy Koschade, community services liason officer, says the town is trying to enter as many competitions as possible to raise the necessary funds to keep the arena open.

The main benefits of having a hockey arena, adds Koschade, is to promote healthy active living. “It gets people out, when we tend to stay indoors, we still stay connected through the social aspect of having public skate, shinny

hockey, parents and tots, and senior skate.”

The arena also serves 13 hockey teams from different communities, including Fort McMurray. “It not only brings in players from other towns, it brings the coaches, parents and any other interested people that are involved in hockey to our town, whom I am sure buy locally, stop by restaurants, etc.” It gets people active during a hard time of the year, when they want to stay close to the home fires, said Koschade. Along with the other programs and events, the Town of Bruderheim and local groups organize, it provides some sort of physical activity 12 months of the year. “ Last year the town had to close the arena a couple of times due to the plant failing, ie not making ice as the refrigerant wouldn’t cool and the ice started to melt. The replacement cost of the arena has been priced at $435,000.

The town is also trying to partner with several other municipalities (Lamont County and the City of Fort Saskatchewan) to apply for funding under the Alberta Community Partnership Grant to fund a new ice plant. On Oct. 21 Lamont County council approved a motion to support the application.

In terms of fund raised to date, the town secured $25,000 in funding through the Kraft Hockeyville competition last year and $2,500 in private and corporate donations. “We are hopeful that through fundraising and grant applications we will be able to meet this need soon,” said Koschade.

Students put ‘wild’ into Wildcats Michelle Pinon Editor

Students at Andrew School are wild about volleyball.

Even from the youngest grades, students are dreaming about playing for the Wildcats.

“We love to play,” says athletics director Cory Kokotailo.

“Kids as early as Grades 1 and 2 are excited about the chance to play on the team and be a Wildcats.

It’s that “excitement” that motivates the students to build the necessary skills to play on the teams, adds Kokotailo. In turn, that motivation is completely contagious, and proof positive is that the Grade 5/6 class alone currently field 12 out of 14 students on the team.

“There has been great development in these teams since the start of the season. They have developed skills into mid-season form and are still improving,” notes Kokotailo.

“Playing games every week within the EIPS (Elk Island Public Schools) league really helps develop skills as well as the physicial education time we put into the game and practices. We also have an open gym policy at lunches dedicated for students to work on serving, passing and other skills.”

Kokotailo says both the boys and girls teams have already exceeded expectations for the year, and earned silver and bronze medals in the

Wildcats Invitational Tournament held between Oct. 16 and 18.

He went on to say, “As the smallest school in Elk Island, and with only having three Grade 7 girls and five Grade 7 boys, the teams were expected to be rebuilding this year. But the skills all students on the team from Grades 5-7 possess are above the grade level they’re at. We’ve been behind since the start of the season because of our youth and inexperience, but the Grade 7’s have worked hard and the work ethic has rubbed off on the younger students. These kids are living and breathing volleyball right now at Andrew School.”

Kokotailo says they are also starting to see the benefits in high school as girls moving into high school have been playing since Grade 6 and are above grade level in skills.

“The girls team has a promising future. The boys team has been competitive for multiple years now, last year losing in the quarter finals of zones after opting up to 2A and playing schools, at times, with ten times as many students as Andrew.”

Having student coaches to mentor the younger player has had a very positive effect as well, and Kokotailo couldn’t be prouder. “The community, parents and businesses stand tall behind our program,” stresses Kokotailo, who is expecting bigger things and a brighter future ahead for the Wildcats.

Mundare Dawgs ready to go paw to paw with CFCW Critters Michelle Pinon Editor

The Mundare Dawgs will have their paws full when they face off against the CFCW Critters hockey team during a charity game on Thursday, November 13.

The fundraiser in support of the local library board is guaranteed to be a fun night out for folks of all ages, and will help offset operation costs of the Mundare Library.

Library board secretary Lois Zyla was listening to the radio when she heard their was one more slot available in the Critters schedule. Zyla jumped at the opportu-

nity, and so did her fellow board members, who have been selling cookbooks and calendars to help cover operational expenses at the library in recent months.

Even though this a completely new endeavor for the library board, Zyla said they are doing what they can to garner support from local organizations and businesses, and are hoping the public will come on board and attend the special event that will begin when the puck drops at 7 p.m.

Trevor Zacharkiw, longtime member of the senior mens team, has faced off against the Critters before and says their opponents will

most definitely have a few tricks up their sleeves. All of the tomfoolery makes for a fun evening for everyone, and his teammates are looking forward to helping raise as many funds as possible for the library.

Board members are also looking for raffle and door prizes as well as financial contributions to assist with start up expenses that are in the neighbourhood of $400. To that end, members of town council voted in favour of donating $100 at its Oct. 21 meeting.

Admission is $5 per person at the door.

Providence Grain donates to Andrew School Providence Grain Solutions, in conjunctions with their growers and BASF, reinforced their commitment to supporting local community initiatives on October 22nd.

Participating grower Cody Hrehorets, along with family members and BASF representative Ryan Furtas, presented the Andrew School Parent Foundation with a $500 cheque last Wednesday to be put towards the purchase of new playground equipment.

The presentation was made a part of the AGSI and Partners ‘Grow with Your Community’ program, which provides growers with the latest fungicide technology and leading edge agronomic support for their canola crop.

“Providence Grain Solutions is very excited to be working with our growers and BASF with the Grow with Your

Community program,” explains Andy Teslia, with Providence Grain Solutions in Waskatenau.

“It reinforces the improtance that we as a company and as a group - and certainly our growers place on making sure our communities are great places to live and work in,” One of the main beneficiaries of the ‘Grow with Your Community’ program is the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. In its third year, the program provides clients with BASF Twinline as part of their overall agronomic business plans. The treated fields are analyzed at harvest and any increase in production is donated in the grower’s name to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.

BASF matches the donations from the grower with the highest yield increase.

The Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton

provides services to one of the largest health regions in the world including numerous specialty services. It is Western Canada’s referral centre for pediatric cardiac surgery, a national leader in organ transplantation, and it cares for children from northern and central Alberta.

Providence Grain Solutions has been serving clients in central Alberta for over 12 years.

With five Providence Grain locations and an experienced staff of agronomic consultants, Providence is living up to its promise, “To be recognized as the preferred Ag Solutions provider, centered on the principles of customer focus, honesty, excellence, potential and growth,” added Teslia.

Elk Island Public Schools earn top results in PATs Sherwood Park Elk Island Public School (EIPS) students who wrote Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) in June 2014 have something to celebrate great results!

Alberta Education released province-wide PATs results on Oct. 9. A significant number of Grade 6 and Grade 9 students who wrote these tests achieved the Acceptable Standard in all subject areas. EIPS students far exceeded provincial averages for the percent of students who achieved the Acceptable Standard and the Standard of Excellence.

Of particular note, 91 per cent of Grade 6 students achieved the Acceptable Standard in English Language Arts with 24 per cent of those students achieving the Standard of Excellence.

In Grade 6 Science, greater than 37 per cent of students achieved the Standard of Excellence.

Additionally, 20 per cent and more of Grade 9 students achieved the Standard of Excellence in all four core subject areas, with close to 30 per cent achieving at the Excellence level.

The PATs are a snapshot of student achievement from the Alberta Program of Studies in: Grade 6 English Language Arts, French Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Grade 9 English Language Arts, French Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Knowledge and Employability.

“Our students and staff have worked very hard, and these results are evidence of that,” explains EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook.

“We are proud of both our students and staff in their accomplishments, and are pleased to see continued success in all areas of study.”

The results from the PATs can be used to inform student achievement of curricular out-

comes in the respective programs, future teacher practice, future school planning, and future school board planning.

Analysis of the results allows teachers, schools and school boards to focus on both areas of strength and areas that require further reflection and investigation.

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 is one of Alberta’s largest school divisions, serving over 16,600 students in 42 schools. We are proud to be an integral part of our communities including Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Vegreville, Strathcona and Lamont Counties, and the western portion of the County of Minburn.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, October 28, 2014 - 15

From Where I Sit: Safeguard Ourselves

By Hazel Anaka Only a handful of unfolding events in recent years have kept me glued to my television. The car crash that claimed Princess Diana in 1997 was shocking because of its senseless-

ness. The horror of September 11th, 2001 was marked by the large loss of life. It identified a vulnerability in and hatred for America not previously seen. But as long as it was focused on Americans the impact on us as Canadians was more of inconvenience than fear. We were too far away and way too nice to be an actual target.

Canada was rocked with the March 2005 shooting of four RCMP officers in Mayerthorpe.

That tragedy was the result of a police-hating criminal. The June 2014 shooting of three Mounties in Moncton reminded us that dam-

aged souls walk among us.

As I write this on October 22, 2014 I have just spent several hours watching the latest tragedy in Canada unfold live on TV. At this point a young army reservist standing guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been murdered and the alleged shooter is dead.

The parliament buildings and much of downtown Ottawa continue to be in lockdown as police forces search for possible accomplices.

To have shots fired in parliament, this iconic symbol of democracy, just steps away from the Prime Minister, govern-

ment caucus, and the official opposition is unbelievable. This doesn’t happen in Canada.

Nor could we believe two short days ago that some radicalized crackpot could mow down two soldiers in a mall parking lot in Quebec with his car.

I cried watching today’s coverage. I cried for the loss of that young soldier’s life, for the terror experienced by all those affected, and for the risk to law enforcement personnel. I cried for our loss of innocence and the feelings of safety we’ve enjoyed. I fear for what changes will become necessary to safeguard parliament

and other public buildings from extremists.

There were more security checks going into New York’s Madison Square Gardens to visit the gift shop than when I visited Canada’s parliament buildings years ago.

Intellectually I know we are exponentially safer from terrorism and deranged criminals on our farm than if we lived in a city like Ottawa, Toronto, or Vancouver.

Ditto for the Ebola risk.

Or subway bombings or getting knifed in a parking lot. But must we all cease to live freely because of misguided or insane criminals? Why should we fear boarding a plane or traveling out-

side our neighbourhood?

So what’s next? Police agencies will continue their work of securing the city and investigating the crime. Heroes like Kevin Vickers will be identified. Funerals will be held. Security experts will say they warned such a day was coming.

Canadians, depending on where they live, will feel less safe by degrees.

We need to support our government as it moves to protect us in the coming days, whether at home or overseas. Somehow, somehow we need to safeguard ourselves but not lose our freedom or minds in the process, from where I sit.

Lamont Curling Club ready to roll for another successful season Michelle Pinon Editor

It’s time to get curling underway in Lamont, and everyone is invited out to the club’s open house the evening of Nov. 7th.

Come one. Come all.

That is the message Tim

Bartz, President of the Lamont Curling Club and bonspiel chair Gerald Maschmeyer are sending out now.

People attending the Open House are asked to make a donation to the Lamont County Food Bank, have some fun and throw a few rocks in the

process.

Maschmeyer says they will have several door prizes available to win, and are hoping the event will be a winwin for participants as well as benefit the local charity.

The open house is open to people of all ages, and there are still opportunities to join the leagues which include: junior league, super-

league, recreational league, and men’s league. “We want to encourage people to sign up. There are still openings,” pointed out Maschmeyer.

People, who don’t want to play in a regular league can also sign up as a spare or rover, and play whenever they get the opportunity. “That way they’re not commit-

ted to a team for a year,” noted Maschmeyer.

As far as scheduling, Monday nights are for the juniors, Tuesday nights for the superleague, Wednesday nights for the men, and Friday nights for the recreational league.

Even if you don’t own a broom, slider, or require a stick to push rocks, the curling club

has all the necessary equipment available for use. The open house will get underway around 7 p.m. on Nov. 7th and is open to people of all ages.

For further information on the open house or league play please contact Maschmeyer at 780975-1809 or Bartz at 780991-0140.

BUILDING COMMUNITIES

86% OF ALBERTANS WANT MORE FROM OUR NATURAL GAS* MICHELLE PINON PHOTO

Members of the Lamont Curling Club are hosting an open house on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. and are encouraging people of all ages to participate.

We couldn’t agree more.

As global companies consider new operations in Alberta, a government strategy for our natural gas could attract significant investment.

The strategy would propel more than $21 billion in announced or planned refining projects in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, creating new products and markets.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Thursday, November 13, 2014 7:00 PM Mundare Senior Citizens Centre 5224 – 50 Street

A recent study found this would benefit Alberta by generating $1.8 billion more in high-paying jobs, while adding $600 million in annual government revenues.

These revenues would pave the way for new roads, schools and hospitals in our communities.

Our energy solutions are as close as home

Councilor’s Corner Notes from the October 21, 2014, Council Meeting Continuation

Your County Council

Fire Billing A request has been made to have a fire bill reversed, due to a denial of coverage through insurance. Lamont County previously reduced the amount of the bill, and in this case will adhere to Policy 4130 and deny the request to reverse the billing.

Lamont County Resident/Industry Mitigation Committee Funding Deferred from the August council meeting, two motions were made by the LCRIM committee: for Lamont County to identify a certain dollar figure from the 2013 budget surplus to be allocated to the LCRIM Protocol Funding Program; and requesting 10% industrial tax revenue increase to go towards LCRIM allocations going forward. Lamont County will defer a decision until 2015 Budget discussions when more information is available about LCRIMC protocol.

The Inspections Group Contract Approval At the August council meeting, Council passed a motion to renew the contract with The Inspections Group Inc. for Safety Code services. The new contract was received in September and has been approved by council.

2014 Contaminated Runoff Management SOG #16J The intent of this Standard Operating Guideline (SOG) outlines responsibilities of those responding to spills/leaks of dangerous or contaminated runoff. It was created due an incident along highway 16 within Elk Island National Park boundaries, which resulted in a decision to obtain a private contractor to clean up spill, amounting to a fee of $7000 which Alberta Transportation was reluctant to pay. Council approved the SOG. Collaboration for the Alberta Community Partnership Grant – Bruderheim Ice Plant Lamont County agreed to be a partner in Bruderheim’s Alberta Community Partnership Grant submission, requesting funding for a new ice plant in the Bruderheim Arena.

Building Tenders - Continued from October 14 Lamont County will award the tender for the Public Works shop to the low bidder, Advantage Builders. Funds for the renovation will come from M.S.I Capital Funding. The Administration Building renovation discussions will be put on hold until the 2015 budget process.
