Wostok area farmer Dan Letawsky was shocked to discover his crops being mowed down last Tuesday afternoon by an operator employed by Lamont County. words Wostok area farmer Dan Letawsky used to describe what he was feeling about the county’s decision to cut down part of his crop early last week. “Looking at this I feel physically sick,” said Letawsky, standing on top of what used to be his canola crop early Sunday morning. “I just hate for food to be destroyed,” added Lawrence Stelmach, who was standing near by, staring down at the ground while shaking his head. Stelmach is Letawsky’s neighbour and friend, who rents out 10 quarter
County’s recent move to mow the right of way (15 feet) regardless of whether it is grass or crops. While the policy, which allows the municipality to do so is not new, what is new is putting the procedures into practice. “It’s a complete slap in the face,” stated Letawsky, who came home from spraying last Tuesday to see a county employee cutting down his crops along Range Road 174 and Township Road 562. Letawsky said he hopped in the truck and stopped the operator to

While both Letawsky and Stelmach fully understand that the land belongs to the county, but at the same time they don’t agree with the county mowing down crops to abide by the policy. “There’s no need for it,” said Stelmach. In the past, the mower would simply go around the crop, added Stelmach. Letawsky asked aloud: “It’s a policy; but where’s the common sense in all of this?” In terms of money,

Letawsky said he had no idea that this was going to be happening, and said that was one of the reasons why he wanted to go public with his story. “I wanted to expose it and let other farmers to know.” Both Letawsky and Stelmach want the county to stop this practice immediately, and that is why they have decided to set up private meetings with local councillor Chris Klita and agricultural fieldman Terry Eleniak.

Exciting line up of events planned for Lamont’s Summer Sizzler Rodeo and Fair Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
The 2013 Summer Sizzler Rodeo and Fair days is gearing up to begin for another weekend of fun and activities. the weekend will kick off off Friday with the rodeo under the lights beginning at 6 pm. Although the festivities are organized by the Ag Society, there will be some new faces from the community helping with individual events. One prime example of this is the Webb’s Demo Derby Daze that takes place on Sunday beginning at 12 pm. Another new addition that will be
seen is a new rodeo clown taking the place of Zak Yo-Yo for this year. His substitute will be Tyson Wagner out of St Brides Alberta also known as the performer. According to Frank Cholak from the Lamont Agricultural Society, its going to be a full weekend for everyone who attends. “We still put on a full show” says Cholak, adding, “it’s three full days of entertainment.” Although it is still unknown for sure if there will be any local riders, there is sure to be a full show with the rodeo going on both Friday night and
Saturday afternoon. Also featured during the rodeo is the popular mutton bustin during the intermission for the younger audience. “It’s going to be a full slate,” explains Cholak. Along with the demo derby will be the Combine Krunch which kicks off on Saturday night and will have the finals on Sunday. There will be no tickets available for presales for Saturday or Sunday’s admission, but tickets can be bought at the door, and Friday will offer free admission to the grounds.

EIPS closes its Next Step School in Lamont Lack of enrolment and inclusive alternatives determining factors Michelle Pinon Editor
Trustees with Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) recently approved the closure of the Next Step School in Lamont. With no enrolment this past school year, and the desire for a more inclusive approach, the board approved the closure effective June 30. The board also agreed to send a letter to the Minister of Education requesting the division be exempted from the School Act, Closure of Schools Regulation requirements for consultation. Eileen Zimmerman, associate superintendent of instructional services, said there had been no requests for enrolment at Next Step Lamont, and the site was not closed until recently to be sure the demand for services was not there. Finances
were not a factor in the school’s closure, added Zimmerman. “Students within the Lamont area have been accommodated by great programming at Lamont High School. High schools are better able to provide some flexibility in programming that they may not have been able to in the past. The added flexibility and programming available at Lamont High is able to meet the needs of students who may have previously attended Next Step Lamont,” said Zimmerman. According to EIPS, it has not received any feedback from families or the community regarding the closure of the school. EIPS has a junior and senior high Next Step Program in Sherwood Park and senior high Next Step Program in Vegreville and Fort Saskatchewan.
In the Next Step Program, students are involved in setting up their own programs and goals. Attendance and work completion schedules are flexible and are designed to meet individual student needs. In terms of fees, Zimmerman said the fee structure for Next Step students is no different than any other school. So if a student in the Lamont area wishes to attend a different Next Step Program site, there would be no additional course fees, and busing may be available. If that is the case, non-designated school transportation fees would apply. The mission of Next Step is to provide each student with the individual attention, guidance, and encouragement in order for them to successfully complete their educational goals.
The Combine Crunch was one of the most popular crowd pleasers at last year’s event.
Stipulations in policy prohibit crop production on right-of-ways Michelle Pinon Editor
Lamont County has developed a municipal right-of-way policy which is designed to "discourage the growing, cultivating and harvesting of crops within manageable municipal right-of-ways.” According to this new policy, #6095, the purpose is: “To establish procedures for maintaining municipal right-ofways that is not hampered or hindered by crop production and does not pose a public safety liability.” The policy clearly states: * Growing, harvesting, cultivation of crops will not occur within the manageable municipal right-of-ways. * Any crops found within the manageable
municipal right-of-way will be removed as part of Lamont County’s regular maintenance programs. * Any losses or expenses incurred by the landowner as a result of removing the crop will be the responsibility of the landowner. Manageable municipal right-of-way is defined as from the shoulder edge into the ditch 15 feet which is the area normally managed by the municipality. According to policy 6066, the roadside grass mowing program, the first pass will consist of a 10 foot pass from the shoulder of the road to the bottom of the ditch. Designated areas that may be omitted are: major or minor road construction and hay permits which are only exempt during the
months of July and August. In the advisory letter it states the purpose of the letter is to make landowners aware the new policy will be coming into effect for the 2013 season. “This letter is to present awareness within Lamont County.” The letter went onto state: “The Lamont County Agricultural Service Board passed the Farming of Municipal Right of Way policy, #6095, at their June 11, 2009 ASB meeting.” “The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for maintaining the municipal right-ofways that is not hampered by crop production, does not pose a public safety liability, and discourages the growing and harvesting of crops within county right-of-ways.”

It was Lyndon's great grandparents, August and Caroline Prochrau who were first married in the church back on October 29, 1905. Lyndon's grandparents Caroline (Prochnau) and Guenther Kottke followed in their footsteps nearly 50 years later and were married on June 14, 1955 in the church.
Then it was Lyndon's parents’ turn, and on Oct. 6, 1984, Charlotte (Kottke) and Gary Roch married there. This past Saturday Lyndon married the love of his life Dana (Hunter) and so continued the long established tradition. For a wedding present, Lyndon's mother Charlotte gave the happy couple a scrapbook filled with photos, facts, and wonderful stories about his family's weddings that took place

Opinion
The Lamont Leader
Creating Summer Memories I forgot how wonderful camping could be until I was blissfully reminded this past weekend. It had been a couple of years since we 'roughed it'; but it was nice to hit the road and in search of some long awaited 'R & R'. We didn't even have to travel far. About 12 kilometres to be exact. Being a hop, skip and a jump away from Miquelon Lake Provincial Park has many perks, and is a nice getaway, when you only have a few hours or a few days to escape. I remember going there as a child. It was only 45 minutes away from our home place near New Norway; yet it seemed like a foreign country with rolling hills, huge forests and beautiful sparkling water. Turning the last corner was super exciting, and on the highest hill, you could get a glimpse of the lake. I'm sure my parents were deaf by the time we actually arrived at our site. I remember staying in my Uncle's trailer, he fashioned and built out of wood. In later years, my parents purchased a motorhome, and we had many more camping trips to Miquelon as well as many other beautiful spots throughout Alberta, BC, Sask., and the States. Over the years we camped there, we have always enjoyed its quiet beauty, and made wonderful memories with my parents, siblings, and their children. Being close to nature and spending time together with the ones you love has always been a godsend. Weekends and vacations are such a nice break away from the everyday hustle and bustle. It's great to be able take your mind off everything and connect in a different way with family, friends, and all that nature has to offer. I hope many of you are creating and sharing many of the same special memories this summer. Michelle Pinon Editor

Letter To The Editor Campbell Subdivision in disarray with lack of upkeep Dear Editor, Here that it is tax season, and taxes where due on June 30th, I am wondering what our taxes are paying for. We live in the Campbell Subdivision, and our area is not looked after by the town public works department, as far as we can see. In the winter the back alleys do not get plowed and our streets do not get plowed. Now that summer is upon us, the boulevard behind our home does not get tended to; it is covered in weeds, and not cut. The road behind our home by the school is in such poor repair that I am worried about having one of my tires blown from the pot holes. Our sidewalk, which is one of the main paths taken by school children is collapsing and sinking, and our street floods to a point where some residents can not get out of their
Kerry Anderson Publisher
driveways. We are told that our taxes have to be paid, and that our yards have to be kept up and weeds taken care of so that they do not spread. Yet the town doesn’t follow the same rules. I am out mowing and weeding our yard two to three times a week, we have even cut behind our home on the boulevard. If we do not do this we will be fined for our front yard. Who is fining the town? And can I charge for cutting the property that is the town's? In the winter we shovel our sidewalk, back driveway and snowplow the back alley, and the public walkway. This past winter where there was so much snow fall we would be shoveling three times a day, and if ice built up we would take care of it, so that children wouldn’t fall. When we had to miss work due to getting
Michelle Pinon Editor
stuck in the back alley because of snowfall and the town tells us that they can’t get the plow down there. Then if I parked in front, again I would end up stuck or near it because the front street wouldn’t get plowed either. This is not satisfactory, it is not right to have alleys that are always full of mud and water, and caused flooding into people’s homes, to have parks and boulevards over grown with grass and weeds and not being taken care of, and we are tax paying citizens. In the spring when there is run off everywhere, we are out in the back alley chipping the ice and snow away from the drain so that it is not a pool of water. It is the citizens in the area that deal with the pooling of water and flooding on the front street. We are told by the town that there is nothing that can be done,

which makes little to no sense as we take care of the problems. Who will get sued or fined if someone trips over the public sidewalk that is in front of our house, because it has sunk so badly? Will it be the town? No…it will be us. how is this fair? My hope is that the Town of Lamont public works department, council, mayor, and staff will all step up and start noticing the lack of upkeep around the town, not on our properties and homes, but on the public walkways, parks and lawns. Or if nothing more can explain as to what our property taxes are being used for, besides a new civic centre, and street lights that are not installed straight on the main part of town. Sincerely, frustrated residents of Campbell Subdivision Tracy Harding and Robert Dallman

Memory Tree fund continues to grow Michelle Pinon Editor
Out of all the hospitals, the Lamont Health Care Centre (LHCC) is tops, says Aura Slaght. She knows first hand the level of caring, consideration and compassion staff have given her and her late husband Beverly in recent years. "We had nothing but the best of care." That is the main reason behind the Bruderheim resident's Memory Tree fundraising campaign for the local hospital. "As far as I'm concerned, Bev could live with this," said Slaght, pardon the pun. She said
staff and administration really care about the patients, and she would like patients to be able to benefit from the comforts of an inflatable bed. the bed, estimated to cost in the neighbourhood of $7,000 automatically adjusts to a patient's body weight to aide in their comfort and prevention of bed sores. Slaght is about halfway to her goal, and laughs that she really didn't understand what the project would entail ahead of time. "Of course I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I'm committed to see it (fundraiser) through to the end.
Helping out in her quest to raise $7,000 for the specialized bed, is the Bruderheim Lions Club which recently donated $1,000 for the bed. The money was raised by selling name tags for the Memory Tree, and Slaght is so grateful to have received the proceeds. "They say everyone has a mission in life, and if you're alive, you haven't accomplished it." Slaght, with the help of charitable organizations like the Lions Club, private donations, said she will not stop until she has fufilled her mission.

Google eyes up Elk Island National Park Michelle Pinon Editor Local residents, Canadians and people from around the world will soon have the chance to see Elk Island National Park (EINP) in a totally different light thanks to a new partnership between Parks Canada and Google. The virtual collaboration between Parks Canada and Google will bring Google Street View’s 360 degree panoramic imagery of Canada’s majestic national parks and his-
toric sites to browsers sometime in the next year. “From planning a summer vacation to augmenting classroom lesson plans, the partnership between Parks Canada and Google will better connect Canadians to the amazing places and geography that defines this country,� according to Parks Canada. Maureen Shenher, partnering, engagement and communications officer with EINP, said it’s “exciting� to be able to participate in the proj-
ect. Having the world at your fingertips is simply wonderful, and having the technology available which allows visitors to take a sneak peak at some of the trails, loops, and campgrounds will be very beneficial. Shenher said filming took place July 8, and fully expects the site to be available to tourists six months to a year from now. Filming for the nationwide project began in the spring and will continue until the fall of 2014. “The agreement will eventually bring the
Google Street View Project to more than 120 national parks and historic sites across the country. Some of these parks will include: Gros Morne National Park, the Fortificiations of Quebec National Historic Site, Ottawa’s Rideau Canal National Historic Site, Grasslands National Park, Banff National Park, Jasper National Park and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

Gran Torino a dream come true for ultimate Starsky & Hutch fan Michelle Pinon Editor
Randy Achtemychuk admits he was totally fascinated by the Ford Gran Torino. “I grew up with the original television series Starsky & Hutch, which ran from 1974-’79, and being a typical teenager, was fascinated by the car and wanted one like it.” Bright cherry red with a white racing stripe, the vehicle was even more popular than the lead actors who portrayed plain clothes cops who took on dope dealers, muggers and other thugs. “Back in the day there was such a viewer response to it (the car) that it received more mail than Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul. Ford actually produced 1,100 of these cars for the public, adds Achtemychuk. “I really enjoyed the show and the way the car is painted. It’s different from anything else out there and one of the most recognizable vehicles as well.” He was gracious enough to recently cruise out to the Town of Bruderheim for its Canada Day festivities and won a first place prize for his impressive showing. Achtemychuk laughs and says refurbishing the stunning hot rode was 10 years in the making, but feels it was well worth the wait. In the late nineties, a co-worker of his mentioned that it would be cool if he bought a car like the one in the show, and with his wife Susan’s blessing, began his journey. He started to search for one and gathering information about the car itself, find someone who would paint it, and try to figure out the cost, before he got in too deep. He found the car for sale in the Bargain Finder out of Holden and paid $1,400 in September
of 2001 and started a Sunday morning job to pay for his dream. “After about three years of gathering parts and other information, I was ready for it to be painted and after contacting the body guy, he said that he didn’t do that kind of work anymore, so I was back to square one in finding someone else. I was able to find another body guy through a co-worker and my car was next in line, but it took three years for his car to get finished. “Mine finally was started on in May of 2009. The car was in very good shape for a ‘76 but had the normal 33 years of small dings, rock chips and rust behind the wheel wells and such. I had the motor completely rebuilt, transmission and rear differential serviced and all of the exterior pieces were rechromed or purchased new, along with other new suspension parts and the interior is all original except for the rug, sail panels and AM/FM 8 track radio. Underneath was undercoated as well.” “One other notable item is that during the television series and the movie in 2004, the California license plate on the car was ‘537 ONN’ and I was able to get that as a personalized Alberta plate.” “I received it back in August of 2011, but there were still some items that needed to be completed and they were done over the winter and the car was ready for the 2012 cruisin’ season.” Every chance he gets and when the weather is good, Achtemychuk heads out with a few buddies. “I cruise around St. Albert and Edmonton the most. There are some friends that want to see the car, so I make a drive date
with them and we go for a cruise.” Even though the car was recently appraised between $25,000 and $30,000; Achtemychuk never plans on selling the vehicle. While he doesn’t play the eight track, he does have Aerosmith’s ‘Toys in the Attic’ which features the song ‘Sweet Emotion,” the same song that was played at the end of the 2004 Starsky & Hutch movie. Restoring this trademark car has been a labour of love for Achtemychuk, and he doesn’t mind displaying the sweet emotions and cherishing the wonderful memories he has made over the years.
