The 2013 version of the Summer Sizzler Rodeo and Community Fair days was a great success despite the wet weather Mother Nature decided to throw at rodeo goers. The rain came down so heavy at points that it was difficult to see all of the details of the competitors’ rides, and pumps were set up under the bleachers to help control the water. However, it all added to the show, and even gave the rodeo clown more things on his side to entertain with.
Success for Lamont Summer Sizzler Rodeo and Community Fair Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter
Not even mother nature could keep the crowds from enjoying the Summer Sizzler Rodeo and Community Fair this past weekend. Saturday’s rain made the event a muddy one, but it was still a great success as the crowds remained throughout in spite of the wet weather. The rain, although it caused its share of grievances, was no match for the dedication of both riders and spectators, even when it was raining so hard that the visibility
of the action was compromised. Friday kicked off with the Rodeo Under The Lights, and beer gardens, as well as a bench show and silent auction of baked goods. There was also an exciting fireworks display at Hillside Park later in the evening. Saturday showed a filled day with events taking place all through the afternoon following the parade which started at 11:00 am. The riders and ropers definitely got a bit muddy as they competed, but everything went off as planned with the exception of the
Combine Krunch which was postponed until Sunday Afternoon. Those who decided to wait out the rain were treated to entertainment inside the hall with many different performers taking their turn on the main stage, and multiple vendors who had set up shop in the Market Square selling anything from jewellery, blankets, homemade crafts, fruits and vegetables, home cooked goodies, horse supplies, and even umbrellas which not surprisingly, were sold out. Also taking place on Saturday was the
evening dance featuring the Convertibles, with Tracy Lord, as well as a steak barbecue. Sunday’s activities were able to boast a bit better weather for the duration of the Demolition Derby as well as the Combine Krunch. There were eight different categories for the parade competitors. Best commercial (Webbs Machinery), best animal (Bonnyville Ghost Riders), best institutional (Lamont Health Care Centre), best community (Village of Chipman), best club and organiza-
tion (Lamont Minor Hockey), best church (Lamont Alliance Church), best childrens
(Chopping Boys), and best antique (Engman’s John Deere tractors).

The bleachers were filled with tough spectators as they broke out the umbrellas to weather the storm that accompanied the event on saturday.
Rodeo Clown Tyson Wagner was having fun in the mud during Saturday’s performance. Luckily with all the rain, there was a lot of mud to be had.
Competitors came from all across Alberta, as well as from many other places around the country and the globe, such as two from New Zealand.

Not all fun and games for elected officials Over my years in the newspaper business I have encountered a number of different types of mayors, reeves and councillors. I can remember as a young man reporting at a County of Paintearth meeting, and watching a particular councillor actually nod off occasionally at a meeting. I didn’t ever report it, or even blame him altogether. Sometimes a lot of intimate and detailed talk about a culvert can do that to a person. One town council I used to report on had pre-meeting meetings among a select few to make a plan of attack to push mundane decisions through more quickly. They had a couple of councillors who liked to walk the fence, ho-hum about things, and discuss the most obvious of issues at noisome. I have known many councillors who have occasionally made off-coloured or politically incorrect comments or jokes during a meeting. Some have sworn or called someone a name in the heat of discussion. Some walk the fence to never upset a potential voter. Others don’t care who they drive their tank over to achieve the common good. I’ve come across reeves, mayors and councillors who were; male - female, religious - atheist, tall - short, fat - thin, gay straight. But what I have never come across is a councillor who didn’t give a damn about his or her municipality. That’s why they are talking about culverts while we citizens are sleeping in front of the TV; or maybe they’re cutting a ribbon at the seniors centre while we’re having our family supper; or perhaps being yelled at through their cell phones while picking up a loaf a bread at the store. It’s not all fun and games for elected officials, and the pay stinks. See for yourself. Municipal elections are coming to a polling booth near you very soon. For those people running for re-election, all the power to you. For those who want to run, best wishes. For those who have served and are stepping down - thanks for your service to our community.

Letter to the Editor Weak jobs market for youth is hurting parents too Today’s weak labour market for youth is not only hurting young Canadians. It’s also taking a financial toll on their middle class parents. There are still 200,000 fewer jobs for young Canadians than before the recession. According to sources, young Canadians are not only losing out today, they also face lower wages for more than a decade as they try to catch up on missed work experience. A growing number of twenty-somethings are now competing for

unpaid internships in an attempt to get ahead. While job prospects for young Canadians have deteriorated, the price of everything from tuition, rent and groceries has gone up. Yet student debt levels have remained relatively constant. So who is picking up the tab? It’s middle class parents – and in some cases, grandparents – who are stepping in to financially support their adult children. According to financial experts, more than half of baby boom parents have continued to finan-

cially support their adult children, even after they leave school. fourty three percent let their adult children live at home rent-free. Many Canadians were struggling to make ends meet even before their children boomeranged home. Now parents are taking out personal lines of credit and delaying their retirement plans to help their adult children. Instead of listening to Canadians on this issue, the Harper Conservatives have cut the number of youth jobs in the Canada Summer

Jobs Program by more than half, and frozen the skills training budget at 2008 (pre-recession) levels without allowing for either inflation or population growth.

Liability and public safety the main concerns enforcing Lamont County right of ways KERRY ANDERSON Publisher
Lamont County Council is being as fair as possible with producers by cutting only the first 15 feet in managing municipal right of ways, says Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak. “The idea is that we take the first 15 feet and the producers can have the rest.” In actuality the county has the right to cut and manage more of the ditch area than 15 feet,
and sometimes as much as eight or nine feet more depending on the width of the road. Eleniak says there are several problems that occur with liability when council doesn’t protect and maintain these areas. The first is when producers plant and cultivate all the way to the road, the shoulders become soupy. In some cases there are no shoulders at all and what is left is so soft that vehicles can get sucked into the ditch and roll.
“If you don’t cultivate part of your garden, what happens?,” asks Eleniak. “It gets hard,” he answers. “But the part you till gets all soft and that is a problem when it is supposed to be packed like the road. “As well, a crop like canola for instance can be four-and-a-half or five feet tall at this time and it becomes a visual problem.” Vehicles can’t see wildlife, he said, or other vehicles for that matter. Weed control is a
whole other issue involving Lamont County right of ways. The county has a rotating herbicide control program which involves spraying these areas every three years. “When a problem comes up, we need to do spot treatments in specific areas.” The Lamont Ag. Fieldman says that some producers are still adjusting but most understand the situation and the importance of the county maintaining controls on their right of ways. “I had someone come in and tell me that pro-
ducers know it is municipal property and he encouraged us to stay aggressive about enforcing this.” Eleniak said the producer made a good point in saying that those 15 feet along a ditch only produces one extra acre of crop - and if an extra acre can make or break a producer, then maybe they need to be in a different type of business. “It’s been a problem that council has been addressing since 2008,” said Ag. Fieldman Eleniak. Concern about liability though has
made council decide it is in its best interest to be aggressive about enforcement. “Any vegetation, we are to mow it out.” Lamont County has been trying to educate the public about the problem of growing crops in the right of ways with notices on its web site, and “In Focus” page in the Lamont Leader. But, he added, that the time has come when these rules have to be enforced.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), July 30, 2013- 7
Lamont Mayor Skinner says usually concerned citizens can get answers they are looking for by contacting the town office KERRY ANDERSON "I realize that people have valid concerns," said Town of Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner, "but I just wish they would contact the town office before typing a Letter to the Editor," in the Lamont Leader. The mayor said that citizens are helpful in pointing out problems but sometimes there is more to the story than meets the eye. "Someone may drive by and see a town worker standing by a hole. It may look like they are just standing there not doing a thing, and perhaps that is true. But what they can't see (from their vantage point) is that there are two other workers in the hole and it is regulation that someone watches from above (for safety reasons)." In other words there is often good reason for why things are being done the way they are and town office employees can listen to the complaint and often give people the information they require and often immediate feedback. If not, the person at the town office can pass the issue on to the mayor and council and have it attended to in that manner. Recent letters to the
Lamont Leader about unkept town properties like particular subdivisions and parks are real concerns, said Skinner. But he also said that again there are unforeseen circumstances that have led to the problem. "Sometimes a letter in the paper (Lamont Leader) is the first we hear of a problem, and it just sort of inflames the situation. "It's frustrating. We share their dissatisfaction." Mayor Skinner said that this particular season many of the issues in town being dealt with
through Public Works are a result of the weather. The past winter's length and amount of snowfall was almost unprecedented, he said. "We had a huge amount of snow removal and sanding. When it all melted we were left with a lot of sand that had to be cleaned up." The Mayor said this kind of clean up is the type of thing that can slow down a small crew like the town's, and when people's streets aren't done immediately it may seem like they aren't doing their jobs. But really, they just have
way more work this particular spring as compared to others. Part of the issue with grass cutting has been the abundance of rain this spring and summer. Skinner says the equipment they have now doesn't cut damp grass properly and the town is looking into more suitable equipment. "So yes, some of these points are valued," he said. "The grass cutting has been a concern and we have hired some contractors to catch up on that." The number of pot holes this year has also
been a problem due to the wet conditions. But he said that it isn't an issue limited to Lamont. "Look at Edmonton. They've had a pot hole problem this year 10 fold what they get some years." Mayor Skinner said the town has been filling their pot holes too, and the repairs to all the streets are coming but said the town crew can't get them all done at the same time. "Sometimes we plan to contract out work (like sidewalk repairs) and we end up waiting for the contractors," he said. The
town has difficulty at times getting companies to come out of the city to do small jobs in Lamont, when they can get work in Edmonton doing much larger and higher paying jobs." These are all things that can be explained to people at the town office when they are having concerns. He added that it isn't that everyone isn't trying, they are. But sometimes there are valid reasons why things are not able to be done as promptly as people may prefer. Staff at the town office are there to help.
An accident Monday afternoon a mile north east of Lamont on 50th Avenue sent emergency rescue personnel to the scene of a collision at the rural intersection as two vehicles collided, both crashing into the ditches and one knocking down a power pole before rolling on its side. The passengers in the van were reportedly unhurt while the driver of the white truck was still in the vehicle at the time of photo. Further injuries or pending charges were unknown at press time.

The name of Fred Olson was one that was well known and often synonymous with the Bruderheim Chariot and Chuckwagon Races for many years, and the first year after his passing will be no different. His wife, Mary Ann Olson, along with Bruderheim Ag Society member Wayne Schoeppe are organizing a special memorial for the late Fred Olson in the way of the annual parade, which will happen on August 24.

Fred Olson’s wagon and horses were a common sight during the chuckwagon and chariot races in Bruderheim every year. “Fred had been doing parades off and on in Bruderheim for 30 years,” said Mary Ann. In a letter she sent out inviting people to take part was written: “Last year’s parade was a great success due to the presence of Fred’s two black teams hitched to a hay rack and white carriage. No one knew this would be Fred’s last parade. He went as he had hoped, with his
cowboy hat, favourite boots, and driving the team he’d raised and trained.” Even though Fred is no longer here to take part, his cart and horses will still be there. The stage coach, which belongs to Northlands will be brought out to the parade, and driven by the same horses. “The guy that bought the horses is contending to bring them and pull the coach one last time,” adds Mary Ann. Even though the Olsons live in Fort Saskatchewan, they say that it was never an imposition to come out to Bruderheim, and was something they never charged for doing. “We are country people. Bruderheim was a small town that always treated us well.” As for other parts of this year’s parade, Mary Ann says that she hopes there will be even more horses taking part, which she feels would be a wonderful tribute to the man he was in itself. Fred was always thought of as a completely sociable person, who could travel almost anywhere and there would be someone who would recognize him. Mary Anne remembers one time that Fred had traveled with Schoeppe to Wyoming, and Schoeppe had challenged him that for sure, noone would know him there, but sure enough, soon after Fred had left the truck, someone had come up to him and called him by name. Even when he was in a place where he didn’t know anyone, Mary Ann says that he could strike up a conversation with almost anyone, and within minutes it was as though they had known each other for years. Another recent addition has been made to the town in the last few weeks to honour Fred’s memory and his importance to the town. A covered wagon, with flowers and signage has been placed in front of the former Walker School which reads “Bruderheim Agricultural society, Home of the Prairie Schooner, In memory of Fred Olson.” This covered wagon is planned to be a permanent fixture for the town.

Compost carelessness concerns Lamont employees Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter The Town of Lamont, brought up the pressing issue of the compost yard at their last council meeting on July 23. The issue of its cleanliness has been one that everyone is standing behind. The recycling yard is often in a state of disarray, and the inherent mess causes a lot of grief for the public works employees who are hired to haul the clippings and tree branches to the final compost site. One of the issues that was brought up by Councillor Steve Sharun was that the grass clippings were often not taken out of the bags when they were placed in the designated area, as well as garbage being put there as well.

There is often grass clipppings left in this area without being removed from the bags, causing more work for public works staff as well as an eyesore for the community. “It’s got all different kinds of junk that shouldn’t be there,” stated Sharun. The compost, when it is taken to the other yard, is mixed with soil to help the decomposition process. According to Sharun, farmers used to come and then take the soil to be used for their own purposes. “No one wants it now that there is garbage in it.” Also, Sharun added during a phone interview that many of the branches that are placed in the yard are too large to be easily handled. Branches left in the yard should be no more than two inches wide at their diameter, and left in only the area meant for tree branches. “It makes it very difficult when the clippings are mixed in with the trees, and the trees are mixed in with the clippings,” says Sharun. It is also important to remember that the recycling and compost yard is meant for residents of the town of Lamont, and not for all of the other towns in Lamont County, who have similar yards of their own. “We would like the town people to take care,” explains Sharun, adding that when things in the town such as the recycling area are left untidy, it is an eyesore to the whole community. The town would like to see less items being sent to the landfill, which would be feasible if the recycling areas were used to their full intent, and not misused by those who drop items off in the improper ways.
