Lamont County farmers could have huge losses due to fall snowfalls Sunshine called for this week, only 65% of crops off so far KERRY ANDERSON Producers in Lamont County may have been looking at a 20 percent loss on crop value after the first snowfall in early October, but now could be looking at a 50 percent loss after the Oct. 14 snow, says Lamont County Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak. "I've been working at the county for 28 years, and I have never seen anything like this," Eleniak told the Lamont Leader on Friday. "I mean seven or eight years ago we were combining in November… but it was nothing like this." According to Humphrey Banack, vice-president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture: “Farming across much of Alberta has been absolutely halted to zero because of last week’s snowfall." Only about 60 - 65 percent of the crop is harvested in Lamont County, notes Eleniak. Some farmers are taking the crop off wet and running it through driers. Banack added, “Another snowfall will take another week out of the time frame to get our crops in the bin.” That snowfall happened on Friday, when another 10 cm of snow fell onto the fields in Lamont County. "Right from the word go, we've been having trouble with this harvest. It's been a continual longterm bad harvest weather." Lamont County, Lamont County Ag. and much of Fieldman Alberta, has been Terry Eleniak plagued by a multitude of rains in Sept. and Oct., but now turning to snow as well. "The yields were looking average to above average," said the Ag. Fieldman. "The quality was good,
Lamont County farmers are hoping for some sunny weather in the next few weeks, as some 60-65 percent of crops are still in the fields. If the poor weather continues from fall to winter, area producers could be looking at losses of up to 50 percent.
but all of a sudden the quality has diminished. Farmers have just been waiting for the optical time to take the crops off, but have difficulty finding that time.
"We need two to three weeks of sunshine for producers to be able to finish taking the crops off. It's supposed to be warming up (this week), Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday is the last I heard.”

Fort business relocating to Lamont KERRY ANDERSON EMAX Plastics has purchased 1.5 acres of land just northwest of Lamont, where it is in the process of constructing a 6,000 square foot building to relocate its business from its present location in Fort Saskatchewan.
"It will be easier to deal with the bureaucracy there than Strathcona County," joked owner Larry Best. "Plus we got a good deal." Best and his father Everett started the company 30 years ago, specializing in plastics for the oilfield industry,
plus tanks, and recreational supplies like floating docks. Larry grew up in Calgary but moved to an acreage near Josephburg with his family when he was 16 years old. He said the location the company has in Fort Saskatchewan is in a

Usual large crowds around 1,400 despite weather for Andrew Garlic Festival KERRY ANDERSON Andrew's 18th Annual Garlic Festival attracted 1,400 people on Oct. 8 despite chilly weather, said Andrew Ag. Society President Carrie Hrehorets. "The weather was pretty crappy, and some of the outdoor activities had to be cancelled because of the weather… but most of the events were indoors." Hrehorets said the farmer's market was "very, very full", and in fact there is a waiting list to become a vendor. "They were cut off at 70 this year." The growth of the Garlic Festival began several years ago when the Ag. Society and Andrew Community Centre Assoc. joined forces to take over the festival which the local Chamber started in 1999 to tie in with the Ukraininan culture. The Ag. president said the two organizations now promote the festival more than in the early years, and it has caught on and become more well known. Andrew has fewer than 400 people, so the Garlic Festival balloons the population that day to almost four times its normal level. Hrehorets says all the events are pretty full, so the festival is nearing its capacity. The day kicked off this year with the most suc-
cessful Lions Club pancake breakfast of all time, completely selling out by 11:30 am. "We support as many clubs as we can get," said President Hrehorets, with each of the groups able to keep the funds raised and keep the money in town. Besides the soughtafter farmer's market with its garlic themes, the bench show is very popular, as well as the perogy dinner hosted by the Rainbow Club. New this year was the Garlic Festival Parade, and Hrehorets said she was really happy with the turnout considering the weather. "We had 20 floats, which we thought

was pretty great for our first one." The stage show featured local and visiting talent, with the main stage littered with a variety of entertainment running virtually all day long. This year's Fire Department run car show was down in the number of vehicles, but antique vehicle owners tend not to take their "babies" out in winter or rainy weather so it was understandable, said the president. "The last four years we've had plus-15 C. weather. So we can't complain." Other events during the day included; an information centre, the

Opinion Alberta's mess is From Where I Sit: A Fresh Look nothing for the Premier to be smiling about Am I the only person who finds it irritating that every time I see a photo of Premier Rachel Notley, she is grinning like the Cheshire Cat? I guess a year-and-a-half ago she in effect did win the lottery, when her NDPs won the Alberta Provincial election in a landslide to the bewilderment of all onlookers. She's been smiling ever since. But I digress. It seems inappropriate to be laughing it up in every photo op, when your loyal subjects are wallowing in massive unemployment; while you are spending taxpayers' money like ladies night at WEM. Meanwhile the once stellar credit rating in the province has been downgraded on four separate occasions since the NDP took the reigns. As well, after only its first full year of NDP government in Alberta, we owe $6.4 billion more than the year prior and paid $776 million just in interest payments on that single year's deficit. But don't worry my fellow Albertans, they only have three more deficits to compile while their term in office counts down to roughly 2.5 years remaining. Another hilarious part is Premier Notley has assured us all that the government has figured out a way to actually balance the budget - and not send us further into debt - by "only" the year 2024. That means it would "only" take the NDP nine years before finally figuring out a way to get revenues to match or exceed total expenses. But I have two questions, the first for our readers and the second for the Premier: 1) Which of you could operate your home finances or businesses in this manner? 2) Would the Alberta Government do this if it were their money and not ours? The good news people, is that for the Notley NDPs to fulfill their destiny of nine consecutive deficit budgets in Alberta before balancing, it would require them winning two more Provincial elections. So I seriously doubt they will get that chance, but if they somehow did it would be no laughing matter. Kerry Anderson
By Hazel Anaka It would be so easy to look out the window and moan about the early snowfall that added insult to an already injurious fall. And I have. But, in this ultimate reality check and accompanying challenge of ‘accepting what is’ I’m taking another tack. I’ll indulge in one (short) paragraph of complaint and barely disguised hysteria. Like most farmers in Alberta, we are not done combining. Though we are small operators by most standards, proportionately the effect is the same. The un-harvested few acres of wheat and all of the canola in swaths are a huge potential loss. Seeding a crop is much like being pregnant, once it’s done, there’s no choice but see it through to the final delivery. No changing your mind here. So, whether it’s fall
2016 or spring 2017, it must be done. Poorer quality, rodent infestation, loss of yield all adds up. The domino effect to the economy is huge: insurance companies and lenders, machinery and chemical/fertilizer dealers, car dealerships and travel agents, fuel sellers and utility providers, charities and food banks will all feel the resulting squeeze. Policing and social agencies will be stretched as latent problems like addictions and abuse, crime and despair rear their heads. Whoa, that paragraph got longer than I hoped. The truth is the situation will be grim for many. But you already know that. So, enough. In my mind and our house, we are choosing to accept what is. To express gratitude and verbalize thanks for the crop we
did harvest and for the safety net afforded by crop insurance. For the fact we have savings, a small(ish) debt load, and the soul-deep belief that we will survive this. For the faith that the universe can and does work in mysterious ways and to our good. Epictetus, a first century philosopher said, “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” Charles Swindoll, an American evangelical pastor said, “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” Countless other thinkers and spiritualists have said the same thing in different words at different times in our history. Maybe we need to start believing this is one of those immutable truths. At the risk of sounding Pollyannaish, I’d like to suggest there may be
another way. I’ve been digging deep in some of the resources in my home library. I’ve rewatched The Secret (the law of attraction is its message) on Netflix. I’ve started paying attention to the power of words and the underlying thoughts behind them. Expert after expert repeats what was first said in Matthew, “Whoever has gratitude will be given more, and he will have abundance. Whoever does not have gratitude, even what he has will be taken from him.” We’ve also heard that if we say only one prayer, make it ‘thank you.’ Become aware of our words and thoughts lest we attract the things we least desire. Give thanks for all we have, from life itself to the colour purple to the bumblebee. Finally accept what is but work towards what we want, from where I sit.

Vehicle photographed in possible fuel theft attempt
SUBMITTED PHOTO: TRAIL CAM
This suspicious vehicle was photographed north of Bruderheim at approximately 11:00 pm on Oct. 11, suspected of trying to steal fuel. The driver of the truck seemed to know the area very well, as he/she was chased to the St. Michael and Wostok areas by the land owners. This suspected crime is just the latest in what seems to be an escalating problem in the Lamont County area.

Citizens to help plan future of Lamont County CAO Robyn Singleton says strategic plan to be devised from public input alone KERRY ANDERSON Lamont County CAO Robyn Singleton said council has approved a recommendation that it seek public assistance to develop a new strategic plan to carry it forward to the year 2030. "We want the public to tell us what their visions are," said Singleton, adding that there is to be no input or suggestions from councillors. "What's important to you?" The present strategic plan is already 10 years old, and it is suggested that a new vision be created every seven years. Five sessions have been planned, and for the convenience of the public these "town hall"
type meetings will be spread out across Lamont County to garner the most public input. Meeting dates are set for: • Andrew - Nov. 2 • St. Michael - Nov. 17 • Bruderheim - Nov. 30 • Mundare - Dec. 1 • Chipman - Dec. 7 Each meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a light meal, free for participants and supplied by Lamont County. The agenda of the meeting will start at 6:00 p.m. and finish no later than 9:00 p.m. Councillors, senior administration, and facilitators from the Province of Alberta will
be present at each Strategic Plan meeting. After all the meetings, facilitators will gather all the ideas and present them to Lamont County council. A strategic plan will be devised from all these public ideas. Singleton said that even if some of the suggestions may be beyond Lamont County’s scope or if they may be unrealistic… "It will behoove us to try to make it fit in. "If council is listening to me at all they won't want to direct people, but hear them. Direction doesn't help, and they won't end up with the document they need."
Lots of speeding in the Fort On October 5, 2016, The Heartland Citizens on Patrol, along with Fort Saskatchewan RCMP and Municipal Enforcement members, engaged in a traffic radar event with the purpose of identifying areas of excessive speed in Fort Saskatchewan in order to plan for future Traffic Enforcement Operations. No violation tickets were issued during this operation, however the results are as follows. In Westpark between the hours of 7am to 8am the speed of 176 vehicles were captured using a hand held radar; 38 (22percent) of those vehicles exceeded the posted speed limit of 50kph. The same activity/location was conducted at the close of the day during rush hour between 4:30pm and 5:30pm, during this period 388 vehicles were captured with 66 (17 percent) of those vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit. In the area of Cemetery Road during the same hours the speed of 259 vehicles were captured using a hand held radar; 91(35 percent) of those vehicles exceeded the posted speed limit of 50kph. The same activity/location was conducted at the close of the day during rush hour between 4:30pm and 5:30pm, during this period 445 vehicles were captured with 42 (9.4 percent) of those vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit. The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP, Municipal Enforcement and the Heartland Citizens on Patrol would like to remind all motorists to drive with care and obey the posted speed limits. West Park Drive is a bus route for City Transportation as well as for School buses and contains numerous bus stops where both residents and students are often present and crossing the road. Future operations will result in violation tickets being issued. Please help to keep our roadways safe by ensuring that we as drivers adhere to the posted speed limits and drive according to roadway conditions.

Artist Crystal Harkins at Verve Showcase Water fill station plans proceeding By Patricia Harcourt Lamont tattoo artist and painter Crystal Harkins was thrilled to be invited to the RAW Natural Born Artists Verve Showcase. It was a true opportunity to display her talents and get feedback from other artists and the public at this giant extravaganza held Thurs., Oct. 13 at the Union Hall in Edmonton. The event features live performances, runway shows, hair and makeup demonstrations, accessory design and visual art displays. "It was a big investment in the show," she said, the following day. "I sold all my paintings." Crystal had taken three paintings and some prints, along with three apprentice artists, to the show with her. It was hard to give up her paintings. "I felt like a had lost a child," she said. At 34, Crystal is married to David, whom she calls "an amazing man." She also has a nine-yearold daughter, Lexi. "It was definitely worth it," said Crystal, calling the hall a "rustic place for sure" that expressed an atmosphere suitable for so many artistic types and talents. "I was overwhelmed. There were so many different artists," she said. The invitation from Raw Artist Showcase
came from Melissa Lavoie, director for Raw Artists in Edmonton, after Lavoie saw her work on Instagram. "All my artwork is on there," said Crystal. "It impressed her enough to invite me." Crystal added that the artistic talent at these shows covers all kinds of venues. "When I was there I was overwhelmed with all the talent." And with thousands of people attending the event, she spread her name and fame by handing out business cards. "I have more people wanting to come in and get tattooed," she said. A self-taught artist, Crystal remembers holding a pencil in her hand all her life from a young age, doing pen and pencil drawings. "I love drawing. Some people like photography and singing but I'm definitely simple," she said. Crystal does commission based art and family portraits. She runs a tattoo and fine arts studio that she says is not your typical style tattoo parlour. Her love of the work is what is important for Crystal, who has lived in Lamont for the past four years. "My mom and the whole family is here." She is also hoping to reduce some of the stigma attached to tattoo art, and has contributed to two local charity fundraisers so far. Silent
auction winners were able to get five hours of tattoo work for free. Coming from an oldfashioned family, Crystal admits she only has two tattoos herself, one of her daughter's name and the other of her face, "and they're very small."
KERRY ANDERSON Lamont County has agreed to purchase land to build a new access road to the water pumping plant on Highway 15 between Lamont and Bruderheim for up to $135,000. Proper access is important, because it will allow safe access to the facility so that a new water fill station can be developed and used safely, said Lamont County CAO Robyn Singleton. Lamont County Council approved the access road to link to paved Highway 202. This will allow customers a safer exit from the site rather than turning onto extremely busy Highway 15 with a full

ence of the water plant. However, costs will be recuperated once the fill station is up and running as the CAO expects the location to be very busy and desired.

Bruderheim mayor excited about new construction
Some of the exciting Bruderheim projects undway are: a Suite 6 Motel (above), while below a projected pharmacy/retail/condo project; and a potential antique auto parts shop.
KERRY ANDERSON The excitement in Bruderheim keeps mounting despite the economy, as several construction projects are either almost complete or underway. The two most obvious are the Suite 6 Motel on 48th Avenue and a Main Street building projected to house a pharmacy, a restaurant and shops, and even condos on the upper level. The pride in Mayor Karl Hauch's voice is palpable, as he added that the old garage on Main Street is also being renovated and rezoned to accommodate a business which will potentially build retro auto parts for antique vehicles. Meanwhile he said a three phase residential construction plan is in the works which will eventually lead to new housing and apartments. "We need to be sustainable," said Mayor Hauch. "We're well situated and we need to take advantage of that." Hauch added that the town only gets six percent of its tax dollars from the retail community and experts in municipal planning suggest that the number should be closer to 20 percent. So, to attain that level a long term sustainability plan was concocted and one of the priorities has been to bring in
business. The Mayor stated that the planned increase in businesses and their corresponding share of taxes will lessen the burden on residents. But it is difficult suppling all the services residents "need and deserve," said Hauch, while keeping taxes competitive with similar communities. But that goal is why the sustainability plan was devised and Bruderheim certainly seems to be fulfilling it in a time of economic downturn and high unemployment throughout Alberta. "I think the key is to work together with people," said Mayor Hauch. "We're pretty fortunate to have a lot of industry in our area. We have many Bruderheim area businesses that have been very supportive, and we are working very hard at partnerships with out neighbours.â&#x20AC;? As part of the sustainability plan, the Town of Bruderheim has set up a successful incentive plan for small businesses opening in the municipality. "We're trying to show the business community that we are opened for businessâ&#x20AC;Ś There's already a waiting list to get into the motel. "I am excited about the future."

Bruderheim just got more beautiful Perennial Communities in Bloom winner planted 460 trees with Shell Canada grant KERRY ANDERSON Already a regular winner in national Communities in Bloom competitions, Bruderheim just added more natural beauty by planting 460 trees to the Town of Bruderheim Ag. Grounds. In a Partnership between the Bruderheim Ag. Society and the Town of Bruderheim, the project was paid for through the Shell Canada Communities Investment Grant of $22,400. The funds was for the purchase of trees, digging, planting and care for the new arboreal area, said project manager Sherry Cote. "They're both fruit and native trees," added Cote. "So it fits into our whole food ideas. Cote said the groups applied for a Naturalization Project, which through
these new trees provides food for both birds, animals and people. It's an extension of the town's community garden, where residents are welcome to pick and eat any of the communal food grown. The new trees will also be available for residents to pick the fruit, free of charge anytime they wish. Many residents came out to help with the project as well as representatives from Shell Canada. Most of the trees are babies and will need time to grow before they will be available for fruit, but residents will eventually see Chokecherries, Saskatoons and many more fruit bearing types; as well as Spruce, Willow and others native to the Bruderheim area.
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
This marker is a permanent reminder of the Naturalization Project. The tree planting was held on Friday, October 7th. The temperature was only plus 1 Celsius, and the wind was whipping at 24 km/hr. These volunteers were a hardy bunch however, and managed to complete the planting that afternoon.
Town of Bruderheim Councillor Shelley Ross, left, Deputy Mayor Virginia Differenz, middle, and Sherry Cote await instructions at the start of the planting session which began shortly after 12:30 p.m. John Helder, Community Advisor for Northern Alberta with TreeCanada, (far right), gets some assistance with the pot from volunteer Deanna Ruether.
Sherry Cote knows a few tricks or two when it comes to landscaping, and gave a push down on the pot several times while it was being rotated to help loosen the soil and roots of this spruce tree.
Bruderheim Ag. Society member Bob Cote was working hard even before the official planting began, getting the holes dug and prepped.
