Members of the Chipman District Fire Department came on scene of a vehicle fire near the Village of Chipman just off Highway 15 at Township Road 545 last Wednesday evening around 6:40 p.m. While it was reported that a propane tank was in the back of the truck, the exact cause of the blaze has not yet been reported to Lamont County Emergency Services Commission.
Elk Island Public Schools halts international travel Michelle Pinon Editor
Any international travel plans have been officially grounded for students and staff with Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS). Both Lamont High School (LHS) and Ardrossan Junior Senior High School had trips planned abroad this school year, but have had their requests denied due to safety concerns. In a statement from EIPS communications, “After much discussion with the division, superintendent
(Mark Liguori) decided to cancel international travel and sent a letter to parents and students on August 29 regarding the cancellation of school trips which indicated the following: •Recent events in Europe, combined with what occurred over the course of the past year lead to his (superintendent) decision to cancel all international field trips. •The decision was not made lightly nor without due consideration of a number of factors. We realize that there will be disappointed students,
EIPS Superintendent Mark Liguori parents and teachers, but student safety is our utmost concern. We cannot in good conscience or
with due regard to our fiduciary responsibilities, approve any field trips that have the potential to put any of our students or staff in harm’s way. •We have been diligently working with the tour company and they have been very accommodating of our decision. Between the tour company and EIPS, all families will be receiving a full refund of the amounts paid by them. According to EIPS there were approximately 20 families in each of the schools who received full refunds. Initally,
LHS was offering a trip to Germany and Switzerland during Spring Break 2017. In the case of Lamont High School, another trip, called the Canadian Heritage Tour has been arranged for students who are interested in travelling to Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City during Spring Break 2017. During a recent travel club meeting at LHS teacher Asha Ram said three students have registered for the nine day trip which is slated to take place between March 24 to April 2.
The question of safety within our borders was also broached, EIPS responded by stating: “As for safety in Canada, we have a greater ability to respond quickly to adverse incidents within our own country; whether it’s a matter of transporting students or calling on other school districts across the country for assistance, we are able to render aid and remove students from a potentially dangerous situation with much greater ease if they are within our national borders.”

Lakers Athletics Run for the Bus raises $3,165 Michelle Pinon Editor
He could very well be the greatest draft picks in the history of Lamont High School (LHS). Cory Kokotailo, Director of Athletics & Physical Education at LHS, was recruited last school year, and the import from Andrew School is proving to be outstanding on and off paper. One recent example of that was the Lakers Athletics Run for the Bus fundraiser that netted just over $3,100. The inaugural fundraiser, held on Sunday, September 25, was a huge success, and Kokotailo credits all of those who donated to the cause which allows youth to participate in sports. “Thank you to all who donated and participated; together we can allow the most students to have the enjoyment of
playing organized sports at Lamont High,” stated Kokotailo. “To put that in perspective, that is the equivalent to 9,000 kilometres of travel.” He went on to say, “The Run for the Bus will be an annual event; the funds raised will help to offset the yearly travel costs of the teams and allow the program to expand experiences for student athletes by travelling to more tournaments and exploring more of the province.” Kokotailo also gave a shout out to the top fundraisers of the event which included: Erik Taylor, $455, KiannaRaine Wilchak, $400, Teri-Lynn Nice, $400, as well as Braydon and Ethan Nimchuk, $325. Since Kokotailo came onboard as staff in the 2015–’16 school year, he has made a positive impact in all areas of athletics. Under his leader-
ship in the new school year he has increased the
7/8 boys and girls, Grade 8/9 boys and girls, and high school boys and girls. In fact, the high school girls squad will be hosting a home tournament on Oct. 14 and 15, with the Grade 7/8 boys and girls having their own home tourney from Oct. 27–29.

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), is reaching out to its members to help commemorate the country’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. A letter, written by FCM President Clark Somerville and Regional Councillor Halton Hills, was discussed by members of Lamont town council during its Sept. 27 meeting. The letter outlined the “unique opportunity” open to its
members. “We are launching the Canada 150 Community Leaders network with an invitation to designate one or more leaders from your municipality. These individuals will serve as your local representatives at Canada 150 events in your community, as a touchpoint to share Canada 150 information and inspiration, and to be members of a legacy network that extends well beyond 2017.” Member municipalities were encouraged to
complete the form included with its letter or go online to have it done. Coun. Doug Pewarchuk said he would like to see Coun. Gail Hrehorets name on the list for her work with the Lamont Light Up and Perogy Festival committee as well as Coun.

OBITUARY Gene Myers June 24, 1934 – Sept. 4, 2016 Gene was the oldest of five children born to Victor and Cleo Myers. He grew up in Lamont and played basketball and baseball in high school. In 1956, Gene married Jeane Evans. Together, they had three children Kim (Tom) Prentice; Keri (Chris) Pickel; and Michael (Beth) Myers. Gene and Jeane’s honeymoon was travelling to Lakewood, where he was stationed at Fort Lewis. While there, he played baseball for Special Services and the Cheney Studs. After two years at Fort Lewis, the couple moved back to Iowa only to return to Washington, where they made their home. In 1960, Gene opened Gene’s Richfield Service in Lakewood, which later became Gene’s Towing and Transportation and Gene’s Auto and Truck Sales. His businesses have thrived for 56 years in their current location on South Tacoma Way, as well as locations in Tacoma, Puyallup and Federal Way. He was an avid bowler and in 1984 while bowling, met his future wife Beverly. Gene is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Beverly, and his children; his siblings Mary Gallery, Kenneth Myers, Margaret Rummel, and Jim Myers; and his step-daughters Karen Campbell, Kathy Frasier, and Kim Barwell. He deeply loved his grandchildren Michael and Matthew Myers, Jacqueline and Nicholas Pickel; and step-grandchildren Michael Prentice, Brian and Brett Campbell, Shauna White and Shane Barwell, Matthew and Miranda Frasier, and Tonia Sugarman. He is also survived by 10 step-great grandchildren. Gene worked hard and loved a good time, racing sports cars, dancing, and Mariners baseball. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in his name to the COPD Foundation, 3300 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Miami, FL 33134 or online at www.copdfoundation.org.

From Where I Sit: Vicious Cycle and lower kitchen cabi-
play and protect virtual-
with your sock drawer, t-
storage. The counter holds a fax machine, printer, some books, and a three-drawer wooden storage box. I tackled both the interior and the surfaces. I used the large flat surface of our bed to collect the different storage options I found. It was quite the collection in both sheer numbers and variety. There were several covered square tins from my Fossil watches. There were beautiful carved wooden boxes, purple faux suede storage boxes, a three-piece set of brown leather covered nesting boxes. Remember when trays were de rigueur for corralling and displaying functional items or objet d’art? Naturally I’ve got trays too including a handmade ceramic one from Japan. Round boxes, gift boxes, pencil cups, metal tins, and tiny ceramic bowls can dis-
imagine. The New York Times best-seller the life-changing magic of tidying up by Marie Kondo describes the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing. Westerners with all manner of space can learn something. Kondo’s method requires that you sort by category not location. You need to collect ALL like objects in one place (usually the living-room floor) to once and for all see the full volume of the items you’re considering. So if you were to sort hair products you’d collect the bottles from the vanity, the tub edge, the storage closet, the basement, and anywhere else they may be lurking. That is truly the only way to know you’ve got six bottles of shampoo, three hair sprays, four round brushes, two flat irons, and a partridge in a pear tree. Likewise
(gasp), handbags, papers, photos. She prescribes the order of your work to go from easiest (clothing—tops to shoes) to hardest (photos). Kondo’s de-cluttering method insists that each item be physically touched. And while holding the object you ask yourself ‘Does this spark joy?’ Keep only those items that speak to your heart and part with the rest. And while I haven’t had the time to try her method it intrigues me. But I need to ponder my opening sentence. How can I reconcile the need to ‘see’ my stuff with the desire to hide what isn’t attractive? If I don’t see something I forget I have it. If I forget I have it, I don’t use and enjoy it or I might buy another one. It’s a damn vicious cycle, from where I sit.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I’ve been challenged by so many people, and I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have the time either.” Donald Trump
By Hazel Anaka For someone who considers herself a visual person I sure have a lot of hiding places. Nowhere was this more obvious than when I tackled the cleaning, clearing, organizing, purging of my office. The impulse to start the project came during yet another delay in harvest 2015. Even though the room is small at only one hundred square feet, the job is not. I began in one corner of the room. During a renovation several years ago we mounted some white upper

Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs launches carbon tax petition SUBMITTED ARTICLE Shannon Stubbs, Member of Parliament for Lakeland and Official Opposition Deputy Critic for Natural Resources, announced on Sept. 23rd her sponsorship of a petition calling on the Government of Canada to refrain from unilaterally imposing any national carbon tax or pricing mechanism that would duplicate existing provincial programs and harm Canada’s economic competitiveness domestically, in North America, or internationally. The Liberal government has confirmed they’ll implement a federal carbon tax this fall that will force all Canadian jurisdictions to impose this job-killing and price-hiking tax on all Canadians, despite
MP Shannon Stubbs having previously committed to working collaboratively with provinces and territories. “Ultimately, it’s Canadians – families, workers, consumers, business owners, the middle class, people on fixed incomes, the working poor, and charities, who are going to pay the high costs and increased prices of all goods and services – the
result of yet another tax,” said M.P. Stubbs. “This particular tax will disproportionately target and harm rural and energy based communities. It’s just another cold-hearted cash grab from this Liberal government.” “There is a reason a carbon tax has been referred to as a ‘tax on everything’ in the past,” noted petition initiator Bernard Hancock, an unemployed oil sands worker who resides in Alberta. “This tax will increase the already high prices on everything from the gas we put in our cars, to the food we put on our tables. We’re already working hard just to make ends meet, and this will make things even more difficult.” M.P. Stubbs questioned the Liberal gov-
ernment’s motives for introducing this tax. “Canada accounts for less than 2% of global emissions. The effectiveness of such a tax in significantly reducing global emissions is questionable. It seems that this is another Liberal cash grab to take money from hard-working Canadians to finance their big spending,” said M.P. Stubbs. “Minister McKenna’s statements imply exactly this: that the money collected from this tax will be invested by the government rather than returned to Canadians. There is no guarantee that the tax revenue will even be earmarked for environmental stewardship, management, or innovation, rather than used as a general revenue tool.”
A recent poll also suggests that the majority of Albertans agree that now is not the time for a carbon tax. According to Mainstreet Research, 68% of Albertans do not approve of Premier Notley’s new climate change strategy, known for its carbon levy.

Alberta Premier responds to carbon proposal On Monday, Oct. 3 Alberta Premier Rachel Notley issued a press release in response to the adoption of commitments on Clean Growth and Climate Change that were made at the recent First Ministers Meeting. “In principle, the Government of Alberta supports a common price that all provinces and territories meet in their climate change plans. That ensures that we are all making the same effort, and it ensures that no one is penalized economically. All revenues derived from Alberta’s climate
change plan will remain in the province,” stated Notley. “With regard to the federal government’s proposals today, Alberta will not be supporting this proposal absent serious concurrent progress on energy infrastructure, to ensure we have the economic means to fund these policies. “It is time for the Government of Canada to act on this issue. Albertans have contributed very generously for many years to national initiatives designed to help other regions address economic challenges.

What we are asking for now is that our landlock be broken, in one direction or another, so that we can get back on our feet.” According to Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, “Pricing pollution is one of the most efficient ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to stimulate innovation. Already 80 per cent of Canadians live in a province where there is pollution pricing. We want to continue this trend and cover the final 20 per cent.”

Mural idea pitched for Lamont water reservoir Michelle Pinon Editor
The water reservoir that services the Edna and Campbell subdivisions in Lamont came up for discussion again during town council’s Sept. 27 meeting. Coun. Steve Sharun said he wants to see bids and quotes on the recladding project, directing administration to gather that information and report back to council at its next meeting. Sharun, who is the town’s representative on the local water commission, made the request during his committee report to council. Coun. Doug Pewarchuk, commented that in regards to choice of colour for the cladding, no information regarding colour choices crossed his desk, and suggested there may be some misinformation about that in a previous article that was published in the Lamont Leader newspaper. In the Sept. 20 article, water commission manager Pat Tomkow said, “Planning for recladding of the commission’s fill stations started last fall and the affected member municipalities were advised that this would take place in 2016. During that time, no one indicated any colour preference. The commission’s only instructions to the

Each presentation had a unique focus to ensure that the safety concepts that are taught will teach the students to respond to the real risks they may be encountering presently. The vision of the Farm Safety Centre is to eliminate farm-related injuries and deaths in Alberta. Its mission is: “To significantly influence the safety and overall well being of rural individuals through effective farm safety education and training initiatives. The not-for-profit organization was incorporated under the Societies Act of Alberta on Aug. 19, 1991. In the 2015–’16 school year alone, the “Safety Smarts” program was taught to 67,150 rural elementary students in 3,286 classrooms in 544 remote schools.

Dave Taylor stated during his committee report, that one of the parents on the Lamont High School Parent Advisory Council mentioned the colour of the water reservoir building during the parent council meeting on Sept. 20. “She expressed her dislike of the colour, and other parents in attendance indicated their agreement. Erin Bartz and Sharon McLean, (LHS teacher and principal, respectively), suggested that perhaps the LHS art class could be contacted to paint a mural on the building to improve the aesthetics. At this point, the concept is just a suggestion, but I feel it has merit…I feel that this is a positive approach to this issue, and a valuable collaboration with the school and students.”

This Week on the Web
When you find a shirt that just fits perfectly, looks wonderful, and feels comfortable, most will think ahead and purchase multiples, just to make sure they can replace one that wears out. Such is the case for a 24-year-old Danny Nolin, who is diagnosed with Down Syndrome and Autism, who had found the one shirt he would wear. The red striped shirt, found only at Walmart, was his go to outfit every day. In his world, consistency is key and that shirt was a part of his daily routine. One day, his father, Greg Nolin, noticed his one shirt had a hole in it. Greg set out to his local Walmart to find another to purchase, when he quickly found out they did not have it. After scouring many Walmarts near his area, he realized the shirt was out of production. Next came his plea to Facebook, asking anyone if they ever saw the shirt to contact him immediately, as he needed to
replace the worn out one at home. Walmart took notice of the post, which prompted them to do something special. Danny received a package, and upon opening it, found 10 more of his beloved red-striped shirt. Walmart had dug up the pattern for the shirt, and specially made some just for Danny. It was a gift Danny and his father Greg will never forget. Tennis Superstar becomes hero for mother and lost daughter Tennis superstar, Rafael Nadal, was a little girl and her mother’s hero during a doubles match in his native home, Mallorca. During the match, before his serve, he heard a commotion come from the crowd. He paused to see a desperate mother talking to officials, trying to locate her daughter who had just wandered off. Nadal put a stop to the game in order for the crowd to put their focus into finding the young
girl. The daughter was quickly located, upset and crying, and brought to her mother immediately. As they came to an embrace, the crowd erupted into applause for the tear-jerking moment. The mother thanked Nadal for the kind gesture, and the match resumed. Nadal and his partner ended up winning the lengthy match. 87-year-old gets to ride a horse one last time
An 87-year-old woman, Nelly Jacobs, had dreamed about riding a horse one more time. The only problem was that she is bound to a wheelchair due to Parkinson’s disease, making another ride a
hard task to accomplish. Nelly has been riding horses for her entire life, and horses quickly became a passion for her at a young age, and it showed. She was a well decorated rider, and it was all she wanted to do, until in her early 50s when she was forced to stop, due to the disease. The Hidden Desires Project found out about Nelly’s one wish and decided they were going to make it possible. A special rig was made, where two horses were saddled up side-byside, with a bed strapped across their backs, held up with two posts in the rig, allowing for Nelly to lay across it to ride the horses. They used a lift to get Nelly on the bed and away they went.
