Closure threatens Lamont Chamber due to poor attendance

BY JANA SEMENIUK The Lamont Chamber of Commerce is in danger of closing down if it doesn’t get more membership support. At its last attempt at an annual meeting, held in June, at least 16 members of the current 31 were needed to attend in order to reach a quorum that could accept financial statements and elect a new executive. Only six members showed up. As a result, an email was sent to all members describing the situation and requesting their attendance at the next AGM set for Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Lamont Hall. “With any society, if you are unable to have an annual general meeting to pass financials and elect a new executive, then you have to look at your bylaws and you have to look at your position with regards to dissolving the organization because it’s not properly constituted,” said Cathy Goulet, current president of the Lamont Chamber. “So that would be a possibility.” Goulet has been a member since 2014 and president since 2018. She went on to explain that when she moved to the area five years ago, the first thing she did was join the local chamber. “As a business owner, it’s good to have a network with other businesses in the community. Chambers are a good source of connections and training,” said Goulet. “A chamber of commerce is all about supporting the business community. She went on to explain how the Lamont Chamber has been active in the community. Their activities last year included a Christmas mixer, a provincial election forum, as well as participating in the Lights up Lamont Christmas promotion. In addition, members of the chamber can also access the member’s benefit package which provides discounts on participating services. Goulet added that the monthly meetings are structured as more of a meet and greet, where there are opportunities for business owners to connect as well as learn from guest speakers. Some recent speakers included Lloyd Kenney with Preventing Identity Theft, Givens LLP with Prepping for a Painless Yearend, Mix 107 with Marketing by Customer Type, and Jacquie Fenske with Media Effectiveness. Goulet owns and operates a consulting company with a team of six associates. The Lamont Chamber has been in operation since 2013 with 35 members. Anyone who is interested in joining the local chamber is encouraged to email: ldcocupdate@gmail.com or come to the next AGM scheduled for Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Lamont Hall.

Bruderheim firefighters honour victims of 9/11 BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim Firefighters honoured the victims of 9/11 by testing their endurance and strength in their first Memorial Tribute Workout on Sept. 11. “This is the first year we have had an organized event,” said Al Klassen, deputy chief of the Bruderheim Fire Department. “The first couple of years after 9/11 we did a yearly minute of silence but it was something that had fallen out. So, we wanted to do something new to invigorate it. We don’t want it to slip people’s minds the sacrifices that all the firefighters and first responders made in New York, so we thought this would be a good way to show our appreciation”
At the Bruderheim firehouse, music was blaring for inspiration. The evening was structured around each participating firefighter completing an intense stairclimb as well as a specified number of exercise repetitions at each post. In the end, everyone completed the stairclimb as well as 343 exercises; one for each firefighter lost during 9/11. During the stairclimb activity, firefighters climbed the stairs inside the Bruderheim firehall 43 times to equal 110 stories; the size of the World Trade Center towers. Klassen added that the Bruderheim firefighters have had a personal training group in Lamont County for the past while. The group
also completed a stairclimb in May at a Calgary event for cancer. These became the inspiration for the evening tribute. The event was opened up to firefighters across Lamont County. In addition to Bruderheim, firefighters from Chipman also joined in. Although the event was free to participate, donations were being accepted for Callie’s Corner; a not-for-profit whose mission statement reads: “To raise funds to provide peer support to our First Responders, Military and their families, as well as facilitating members with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in acquiring Service Dogs.” The attacks on the World Trade Center in
Fundraiser hits home for local firefighter BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim firefighter Correen Hosack knows first hand how life altering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be. While participating in her fire departments’ Memorial Workout for victims of 9/11, she admitted that accepting donations for Callie’s Corner, a non-profit that provides service dogs for emergency workers suffering with PTSD, hit home for her. “I ended up leaving work as an Emergency Medical Technician because of PTSD,” she said. “I definitely would have qualified for a dog.” Hosack was an EMT for 12 years. Upon leav-
ing her career in 2012, Hosack found she was in need of severe treatment in order to combat her condition. “Drugs, therapy and there was some hospitalization,” said Hosack. “Probably about two
years of pretty intense therapy. Once her treatment was successful, Hosack became a firefighter to help fill the void she felt from not being at work. “It was like missing your left arm,” she said.

New York that were destroyed by terrorists on Sep 11, 2001 killed 2,977 people. Of those
who perished, 343 were firefighters, 60 were police officers, eight were emergency medical
technicians, and one was a patrolman from the New York fire patrol.

Opinion Appreciate thy neighbour It’s either normal, or I am lucky. No matter where I have lived, I have never had an issue with my neighbours. Not everyone can say that. My sister once had a neighbour who didn’t appreciate her teenage boys’ comings and goings, or where they parked their vehicles, or how loud they played their music. The more they freaked out at her boys, the more the teens purposely did things to antagonize them. Before long the two households were like the Hatfields and McCoys. Finally, my sister’s family outlasted them and they finally put their home up for sale and moved. There are a lot of neighbour horror stories, like the crazy lady who would feed skunks causing them to hang around the area she lived. Neighbours would have to carry flashlights at night so as not to startle one of the smelly little devils. Then there were the neighbours who were fighting over a property line and privacy issues. When one of them returned from holidays, the feuding neighbour had security cameras pointing from his yard into the neighbour’s with a big sign “Smile, You’re on Candid Camera.” Another person was neighbours with someone who let their front lawn grow out of control. They cut the lawn for them once when it got really bad, but later quit when they found out the same neighbours were stealing water from their outside tap. How about the two neighbours who were constantly doing things to tick each other off, like blowing leaves onto each other’s yards or trimming one another’s trees without permission. How about the the angry neighbour who flipped off the ice cream truck every time he came around because the noise bothered him; or maybe the guy with infrared binoculars who peered into the neighbours’ homes at night; or maybe the bagpipes neighbour? Or the rock band neighbours? When we first moved to an acreage in Lindbrook, Michelle thought it would be a great idea to have a barbecue for the people in our subdivision. She did up fliers and posters for anyone interested but never got much for replies. None in other words. I told her not to be discouraged because people probably live on acreages because of the seclusion. They likely don’t want to know their neighbours. In the seven years we lived there I couldn’t have told you what the neighbours on either side even looked like. But they were quiet and thoughtful. All you can ask. Now we live next to a fellow whose wife died shortly after we moved in. We reached out to him, giving our sympathy and now we are good friends. The neighbours on our other side were quiet and private. Same with our backyard neighbours. It’s funny though, how you perceive people you often see but really don’t know. One of the backyard neighbours was “The Pacer” who walked back and forth in the backyard at times. The other was the “Tree Guy.” He made a fortress around his yard with towering poplars. When we all decided to replace our fences, we were forced to get together and concoct a plan to share expenses. It went smoothly and every neighbour seemed incredibly nice. Not at all what we feared or what our minds thought they might be like. One of our front neighbours moved last winter, and the people who moved in have teenagers and countless vehicles parked all over the neighbourhood. They are quiet and polite; don’t feed skunks, don’t invade privacy, don’t let their lawn grow out of control, don’t steal our water, don’t trim our trees, don’t play drums in the garage, don’t peer in our windows, and don’t play bagpipes. If yours don’t either, we can all appreciate our neighbours. Kerry Anderson
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Climate change discussion over I am writing in response to a letter to The Lamont Leader written by Gwyn Morgan on Aug. 7, 2019 titled: “Myths and misinformation fog climate change debate”. Her letter denies climate change and ridicules the need for our government to take action. I feel that it is important to name this letter for what it is: an attack on the credibility of climate science most likely perpetuated by vested interests, including the fossil fuel industry. Since the 2015 Paris Agreement, the top 5 oil majors alone have spent a combined $1 billion on misleading climate-related information which continues to pump money into creating uncertainty about our understanding of climate change. Clearly, the debate on
climate change has been over for a long time. Each of us can see with our own eyes that we are currently experiencing climate change. Earth’s warming has already increased by 1 degree Celsius (1.9 degree Fahrenheit) hotter than pre-industrial levels causing extreme weather events. Out of control forest fires, horrific flooding and storms, high temperatures causing drought and polar ice melt have become daily news with increased suffering to much of humanity and extinction of new species every day. Citizens and governments need to base their understanding of climate change on the best scientific evidence available - not on misinformation spewed by the fossil fuel industry. An overwhelming 97% of scientists agree that cli-
mate change is being caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. Since the Rio Earth Summit of 1992, scientists have been warning us in report after report about the need to change our direction to save our Planet. This past October, 2018, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reporting to the United Nations gave the most dire warning yet - stating that the Earth’s warming needs to stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid catastrophic changes to the Earth and to humanity. The IPCC report stated that at the current rate, the world would cross the 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter by as soon as 2030! That is only 10 years away! Continued on Page 5

FROM WHERE I SIT: Feels like play
BY HAZEL ANAKA One of the best parts of being a home-based contract worker is the ability to structure my days. I can work really long and hard when and if I need to. I can happily play hooky when the spirit moves me. Because of my hard-wired baby boomer work ethic, it’s actually more challenging for me to put my own needs and interests first. But I’m getting better at it. That is a hardwon life lesson and you’d do well to learn it
earlier than I did. Just sayin’. Sometimes, putting my own projects and desires first means turning a blind eye to the other options calling my name. Most women know that cooking and cleaning expands to fill the available time, so in essence, we’re never done. So, if the laundry waits another day or we eat frozen entrees or the dusting is postponed, so what? Especially if there is something wonderful to do instead. Better to fit the work in around the play rather than the other way around. In fact, it’s high time. Recent random conversations with friends tell me that there is a creative maker movement afoot. It’s not really underground but no one is announcing it in the town square either. One friend has totally organized her space to accommodate her multiple
interests including cake decorating, doll making, painting, and more. Another writes pysanky in between her day job and all her volunteer work. A third has gotten crafty since her retirement. Yet another, goes on scrapbooking and other crafting holidays with three friends every year. Whether you’re dipping a toe in the maker movement or have decades of supplies and projects to demonstrate your craft cred, you’re in good company. The trick to wringing out the most soul satisfaction from any activity is focus, even when to an observer, it may look like work not play. Some recent examples: I made chicken broth using a farm raised chicken and stock pot borrowed from my mom. I chopped and seasoned with care. The scent filled the house for the hours. And when I strained the solids, pack-
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Mundare Mayor apologizes as fire department members offended by quote in Lamont Leader I am writing in response to an article in the Sept. 11 Lamont Leader in which Mr. Mather reported highlights of the Sept. 2 regular meeting of Mundare Council. Although Mr. Mather’s reporting is factually correct, I would like to point out that it does not contain the entire conversation surrounding the discussion with respect to the Naloxone training.
As a result, Chief Dales and a number of the members of our department were deeply offended by one of the quotes that was published in the article. I would like to convey my sincere apologies to all the members that took offence to the comment. I have always and will always be a staunch supporter of our department and the outstanding contributions that
they make to our community. Council did in fact have a follow up meeting with Chief Dales which was very productive. I look forward to working with Chief Dales in whatever way necessary to facilitate the implementation of this potentially lifesaving program. Mike Saric Mayor Town of Mundare
aged and froze most of it, I felt I’d made liquid gold with healing properties to boot. For years, I’ve been collecting purple glass. Many of the pieces are thrift store finds. One is a large, square fused glass plate that a bought from a fellow artist nearly fifteen years ago for what seemed like a lot of money at the time. I crammed most of the pieces into the kitchen display cabinet with leaded glass doors. I offset the dark colour with a few copper pieces. It was okay. Okay, but not great. This weekend, Roy and I assembled the Jodi cabi-
net from Structube. With glass on three sides, it now houses about half of my collection. Handwashing and staging all the pieces in two places could have easily felt like one more big job. Instead, I loved the process. I got to handle, admire, and remember why the pieces appealed to me. I also have groupings of purple glass in nearly every room of the house. That’s enjoying, not hoarding a collection. Eight hours on Sunday were spent organizing, sorting, storing, labeling my art supplies. The time flashed by in the

Lamont County and CN at odds over access road maintenance BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County has been maintaining a CN access road in the Hilliard area for many years since the road led to a grain elevator in the area, which has since been demolished. Since then a resident made a driveway to his property from the access road and now the County is trying to resolve with CN who should be maintaining the road. “We’ve taken the issue to the vice president of CN for the area, who told us the possibility of purchasing the land was not off the table,” said Lamont Chief Administrative Officer Stephen Hill told council. Council was told there had been problems in dealing with CN. “I don’t know at this point, but they want $25,000 for the land and reasonable value might be $5,000,” said councillor Wayne Woldanski. Councillor Daniel Warawa said it would cost more than $25,000 to build a road and in dealing with CN it would cost almost that much with the lawyers going back and forth so he felt the County should buy the land despite the price. Hill wondered whether it would be considered a private driveway or a municipal road if the County purchased it and he felt is should be a private driveway. “If it’s purchased
either by us or through a joint purchase then it should just be designated as a private driveway,” he said. Both Woldanski and Warawa said since the County had been servicing the road for the past 50 years it would be hard to suddenly decide it was the ratepayer’s responsibility. Hill said they could further discuss the issue as council started to discuss items in the upcoming budget. “If CN insists it just remain a lease situation, I would suggest it’s a lost cause.” Reeve David Diduck asked what would happen if they left it as the status quo and public works director Chris Valaire suggested CN could just rip up the road if they wanted, leaving the ratepayer and his driveway in the lurch. ______________________ County has sent a formal letter to the St. Michael Regional Landfill to have a joint meeting between the County and the landfill board. “They won’t meet without administration,” said County landfill representative Wayne Woldanski. “They would also like some form of formal presentation from the County.” ______________________ CAO Stephen Hill reported to council, Sept. 10, all of the urban cen-
tres were on board with the new regional emergency plan. The one exception is Bruderheim which is not taking part in the study. Hill told council the review document had been circulated and he added he wanted to thank Christine Beveridge of the Town of Lamont for her help with the document. He said a final copy would probably be brought back to council for their October meeting. ______________________

Valaire reported to council his review of the ratepayer snow removal policy was half completed. He said he was comparing it to adjacent municipalities so he could review if his policy changes were “fair and equitable to the ratepayers of Lamont County.” While, he added, there were cost implications for the new policy he said it would be a staged approach and therefore a multi year program change. He expects the report to be ready for council review in October. ______________________

Progress on Moscow Road Lakers golf team finishes repairs concern County Council third in tourney at Mundare
BY JOHN MATHER The state of the Moscow Hall road was raised at Lamont County council, Sept. 10. Councillor Daniel Warawa said he had received an email that morning asking for an update on the state of the road. “What’s happening there?” he asked. Public works director Chris Valaire reported 15 bore holes had been drilled in the road as part of a geotechnical investigation. “I haven’t received the final geotechnical report, and while some minor work has been done we’ve been hampered by rain.” When asked, he told council a total of 1.5 km was being investigated. He said depending on the outcome of the report, he would be able to tell council what would have to be done to the road. He added he hoped to have the project done before the end of the year but added they were running into a time crunch.
He was asked if they could grade the road and get rid of the potholes, and he replied when this was initially tried the grader started sinking so the project has been put

of clay down to provide a firm base before putting any gravel on top of it.” Warawa said he had thought they were going turn the road base over with a grader and then rebuild it with additional gravel. Hill said the issue was a lot of money was spent putting the road into oil. “We spent a lot of money and the road didn’t last like it should have. We want to know what went wrong with that before we dump a lot more money into the road.” He said he didn’t want to see the road breaking down again if it was gravel. “We want to make sure the investment into the road is made to last,” he said. “We don’t want to be going back every year to add more gravel or fill pot holes, because some the material is lost into the organic base.” Council wants to get more information from administration quickly so repair work can proceed soon on the road.
”
on hold. “It’s just that it’s taking so long,” said Warawa. “The road has eight inches of gravel and there has been oil put on top of that.” The road, said Valaire will be put back to gravel, but he said it had more than 20 years of road crush put on top of an organic base and it tended to sink. CAO Stephen Hill said the problem with the road wasn’t so much oil or gravel, but what was under it as the base. “In order for us to turn it back into a good gravel road, we need to know if we have to put a layer

Bruderheim School Prepares Students for Service Dog BY JANA SEMENIUK In their most recent newsletter, Bruderheim School instructed students on how to conduct themselves around a service dog. Kevin Michael-Gagne, 24, is an uncle and caregiver to five children, three of whom are students at the school. He is also legally blind and uses a service dog. “It was a good opportunity to share some information and educate students on the correct way to conduct themselves when a service dog is present,” said Bruderheim School principal Cheryl Semeniuk. Some of the tips included in the newsletter for behaving around a service dog include; • Do not approach, ask to pet, or call out to a service dog. He/she is on duty • Do not offer food to a service dog • Do keep your own dog a distance away from a service dog • Do inform the handler if the service dog approaches you • Do speak to the handler instead of the dog
“Basically, if the dog is in harness, he is working,” said Gagne. “Ignore him completely and pretend he isn’t even there.” He added that when his service dog is on leash, he is an ordinary pet. Gagne has five per cent peripheral vision and can see within two inches in front of him. His vision was lost to a condition known as Macular Serpiginous Choroiditis. This is a rare condition with no known cause or cure. Gagne remembers that Dec 27, 2015 was the day he lost the vision in his right eye. Six months later on Jun 27, 2016 he lost the left. He was 20. “I went from living on my own and being able to drive to doing nothing,” said Gagnon.” And it happened out of the blue for no reason.” Once Gagne realized he was going bind, he immediately began searching for a service dog. His search led him to The Seeing Eye in Morristown, New Jersey. According to their
website, The Seeing Eye is a philanthropic organization whose mission is to enhance the independence, dignity, and selfconfidence of blind people through the use of Seeing Eye® dogs. Once the recipients are proficient in using a mobility cane, they are eligible to receive their service dog through the organization. After being on the waiting list for three years, Gagne was then flown, and accommodated for free to attend the training sessions in New Jersey with his provided service dog. The only costs incurred to Gagne was a small fee for his dog. He received a twoyear-old German Shepherd named ‘Captain’ in May of this year. Gagne says having Captain has improved his life immensely. Although he lives with his brother and their family, he remains independent with the help of Captain and assists his family with childcare for their five children ages one and a half to 14. “I am so much more confident, I can walk
faster, and I walk into a lot less stuff,” said Gagne. “Captain is trained to take me right to my mailbox at the post office when I get the mail. We walk in and when he stops, I place my hand on his head and my mailbox is right there.” According to Alberta.ca, in Alberta a qualified service dog team has their rights to access public spaces protected under the law. The right to public access means that a service dog team can go anywhere the public may go, including: hotels, hospitals, buses and taxis. It does not apply to nonpublic areas such as food preparation areas, sterile hospital rooms or restricted access areas.
Kevin Gagne poses with his service dog, Captain. Gagne is blind and the dog assists him in getting around in public.
RUNNING FOR TERRY More than 20 people took part in the Terry Fox run held in Lamont on Sept. 15.

Dust, traffic, upset local county resident
BY JOHN MATHER Shelley Andruchow appeared before Lamont County council Sept. 10 to complain about the lack of road watering on Range Road 184, off of township 560, near St. Micheal. She told council she hadn’t noticed the lack of watering so much when she and her husband were working, but now that they were retired it had become an issue. “According to the road use agreements, they have to maintain the road with oil, and water prior to the haul,” she said. “Several times I’ve had to call Derek (County Peace Officer, Derek Wright) to let him know the watering hadn’t happened before truckers started hauling sludge or silage along the road.” She told council she had lived there for 22 years, but had been retired for the past five years. “I see what’s happen-
ing now and I’m thoroughly disgusted.” She asked what the County responsibility was in this because she had seen graders smoothing the road, but there were never watering trucks. “If the graders are out, you must be aware of the problems,” she said. She further told council County road use agreements limited the times truckers could haul along the roads from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but she had witnessed trucks making hauls after 9 p.m. She said the trucks were hauling through St. Michael going west to the feedlot nearby. “We’ve been more patient with the hauls going past our house,” she stated. “But the lack of adherence to the road use agreement is appalling.” She said they would like to see the road oiled past their house and charge the costs and
future maintenance to the feedlot. She did say residents in the area didn’t want to see calcium chloride put on the road because of possible health issues. Councillor Daniel Warawa totally supported Andruchow and suggested they pull the truckers’ haul permits and cancel their road use agreements. “This year its been atrocious,” she said. “We can’t even sit and enjoy our backyard.” “We have those agreements,” said Warawa. “And they have to look after the roads. It’s up to the contractors to maintain the roads.” “I’m really surprised,” he added. “It’s a cost of doing business and they should be doing the watering.” Councillor Roy Anaka
said the agreements needed to be enforced. “That’s why we have a peace officer,” said Warawa. “To enforce those agreements.” Andruchow wondered if the peace officer determined which roads truckers could use as haul routes and how large an area did he have to enforce. Public Works director Chris Valaire told Andruchow she was correct and that it was an enforcement issue. Warawa said if the agreements were pulled it would effectively shut down the trucking and those responsibly would quickly respond to the issues. “When it’s a sunny day and they can’t haul silage or sludge, they’ll respond very quickly,” said Warawa.
Council told Andruchow to call the County and enforcement of the road agreements would take place. “Well don’t be a bad neighbour,” stated Andruchow. “Because no one will like you. But, if you’re not going to honour the agreements there has to be consequences.” Reeve David Diduck pointed out the companies have to post a bond when the get the road use agreements, but they have to show courtesy to the neighbouring residents who live on the

roads. Andruchow said the watering wasn’t working so she felt the road should be oiled. Diduck told Andruchow council would take her concerns under advisement. “You’re not the only one with these concerns,” he said. “It’s really about these businesses being good community citizens.” “It looks like what’s needed here is stronger enforcement,” he added. He indicated the road use agreements were a challenge to the County.

Local area businessmen updated on newest Heartland project BY JOHN MATHER Local area businessmen are in line to benefit from the construction of a second polypropylene plant in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. That was one of the messages conveyed by Sarah Penny, manager of external and community affairs for Canada Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, as she provided an update on the integrated propane dehydrogenation plant and polypropylene upgrading facility being built in Sturgeon County. Speaking to the Fort Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, Sept. 4, Penney reported the plant is a 50-50 joint venture between Pembina Pipelines and Kuwait Petrochemicals Industries Company K.S.C. She further added it will cost about $4.5 billion to construct the 550,000 tonne facility with funding provided in part through the federal, provincial, and municipal governments. “The plant will convert liquid propane into
polypropylene pellets,” she said. Located across the North Saskatchewan River from a similar plant being built by Inter Pipeline Ltd., in Strathcona, she said, the CKPC plant would be a little larger than the IPL plant. “We expect to be in service by mid 2023,” she stated. She said the joint venture was working because it brought together two companies that work very well together. She said the Kuwait side of the business would work to market the business on an international scale, while Pembina had the experience working with the oil, gas and chemical sectors. The propane feedstock, she added, is very advantageous in this area right now. She further explained that the polypropylene is used in a wide variety of products from car parts to currency. “Polypropylene is

highly recyclable yet it is very durable,” she said. “Alberta propane is definitely at a discount compared to other parts of the world,” she said. “There is also a lot of feedstock available here.” She told the audience all of Canada’s polypropylene is currently imported and she expects with two plants in the area it could create many spin off opportunities for companies wanting to manufacture using the finished project. She said government amenability, a strong workforce, and great road and rail networks made building the plant here very economically viable. Feasibility studies for CKPC started in 2016 and design work finished early in 2019. Currently, she added, earthworks have started and the detailed engineering packages are out for bid. A full package of environmental studies were also completed before earthworks began.
Sturgeon County has issued the development permits for the project and all final approvals are expected within a couple of weeks. The last point she touched on was the company would be doing its utmost to use local companies where possible in building the plant. Ellis-Don is the main early works contractors. She indicated they are still looking for some contractors to work at the site. “When we developed the project it was very important for us to take all vendor information and we have a mandate to try and keep our contracts within 100 km of the area.” She explained by having a data base, it would allow larger contractors, who might not be familiar with local companies, a way to learn about them and see what their qualifications could be. During construction, she expects employment to peak at around 3,000 people per day. Once completed she said there
would be about 200 permanent jobs available. She said the company’s website has both vendor opportunities and a
careers page. As part of the project a few intersections in Sturgeon County will be upgraded.
Chipman accident
On September 16th, 2019, at approximately 2:15pm, the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP responded to a collision near the town of Chipman. Upon investigation, police determined that a pickup truck and a baler were travelling east on Hwy 15, between Hwy 834 and RR191. The pick up truck attempted to pass the baler, but in doing so, it hit head on with a west bound swather. The pick up
truck travelled approximately 100 m. before coming to rest in the south ditch. The driver, and only occupant of the pickup, was transported to the U of A Hospital by STARS Air Ambulance in serious condition. The driver of the swather was not injured. Traffic was re-routed in that area for a short period of time in order to allow STARS to land. Police have determined that alcohol was not a factor in this collision.

Seniors win meals at Bon Appetit Bingo BY JANA SEMENIUK Twenty-two seniors from around the County attended the first Bon Appetit Bingo in St. Michael, Sept. 11 where they had the chance to win pre-cooked individual take home frozen meals. “For the very first showing we had a healthy number of registrations and are hoping to get more as we go week by week,” said Heather Atkinson, Communications Coordinator for Lamont County. “Everyone is encouraged to bring a friend.” Twenty-one meals were won as prizes and 51 were sold for $4 each. Scot Hutton, from SIL Industries, was also on hand to present a $500 cheque to Lamont County Community
Adult Learning Council (CALC) chair Debby Gargus as a donation to the Bon Appetit Bingo program. “Our goal is to reduce isolation for seniors, provide them with a social outlet while addressing their meal times by providing home-cooked nutritious meals affordably priced,” said Deb Holland, director for CALC. “We don’t make any money from this (program).” In addition to free bingo and meals, the program also provides free transportation by school bus from Andrew, Mundare, Chipman, Lamont and Bruderheim. The bingo will be held nine more times from Oct. to Feb. at the St Michael Recreation Centre.
Lamont High School teams scored double gold in volleyball tournaments recently. The girls won in their gold at the MegaVolley tournament in Vermillion, while the boys won their gold at their own season opening tournament defeating a team from Redwater. Here a player on the boys team goes high to block a shot from the New Sarepta player during a round robin match. Lamont won this match 2-0.
