Lamont County residents invited to attend public meeting Future industrial development of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland topic of discussion in the coming weeks and months Michelle Pinon Editor

The next round of public meetings regarding industrial development in Lamont County will be held in the coming weeks in Mundare and Lamont.

On Nov. 22nd there will be a public meeting at the Mundare Recreation Centre from 7-9 p.m. followed by another public meeting at the Lamont Recreation Centre on Nov. 26th from

7-9 p.m.

Garret Matteotti, manager of economic development and strategic initiaitives, says the meetings will be open to all county residents who wish to provide their input on development in Lamont’s Industrial Heartland Area.

Back in late August, Lamont County held a series of five public engagement meetings specifically for residents and landowners within the Lamont Heartland Industrial Area, as well

as others with a specific interest in development in the area.

A total of 317 invitation letters had been mailed out along with background information and a written questionnaire. Approximately 90 individuals attended the meetings and 11 written questionnaires were completed and returned.

Those engagement meetings were conducted by representatives from the firm Downey Norris and Associates Inc. The input was docu-

mented, and is now contained in a report that was presented to county council recently.

Sometime next week the county will be mailing out a summary of the input report to residents and landowners. Access to the full report will be available on the county website and available at the county office.

Of particular note, the documentation and interpretation of the input received through the engagement meetings is that of the inde-

pendent consultant. The views and opinions expressed by participants were not assessed by the consultant for accuracy.

The key themes that were identified were: support for continued industrial development in the county, impact of traffic, noise, pollution, as well as enjoyment of land, land use and designation, property values and potential of selling land, and past and future communication and consultation.

Also outlined in the report, were concerns surrounding road upgrading and maintenance, infrastructure and emergency response, long-term sustainability of the family farm, environmental impact, stnadards, bylaws, and requirements of developers.

Responses to the questions and concerns outlined in the report will be made to council in the near future by administration.

Youngsters with the Lamont Community Playschool were treated to a tour of the Lamont Fire Hall on Oct. 18th. After some hands on demonstrations, the kids got a chance to get up close and personal with Sparky.

Jim Palmer knows what it’s like to be in it for the long haul.

Palmer, who has served 10 terms on village council in Chipman just wishes more people who run for public office realized the commitment that is required before they sign on for the job.

“It’s not a 15 minute job,” says Palmer, who is clearly frustrated over the turn over of councillors in recent years. “This is the third by-election that we’ve had in this three year term.”

2012 the Village of Chipman has had to call for nominations from residents to sit on council. Palmer says it costs on average $1,000 to call a by-election, and doesn’t like the fact it has come to that again.

Recently Rob Lindemann, who served two years on council, stepped down due to work commitments, adds Palmer.

Even though council only holds one meeting a month, Palmer says councillors are usually busy three nights a week attending various committee meetings. He adds that whoever puts

their name in, has to be able to attend those meetings, and also have a thick skin, to be able to deal with criticism and complaints.

Residents have between 10 a.m. and 12 noon on Nov. 5th to file nomination papers. If no one comes forward, Palmer says it will be up Municipal Affairs to decide if council will operate with two members or call another byelection.

Palmer is totally in favour of four year terms of office for councillors, and would like there to be a fixed election date in the province.

I would like to thank Marilyn Koroluk, staff and all clients of Lamont Hair Boutique for the great years, you have given me, I will cherish the memories, I am very grateful. Wishing you all the best.

Bruderheim talent show delights young and old Michelle Pinon Editor

Around 130 people attended the talent show at the Bruderheim Memorial Centre Oct. 20th.

Judy Koschade, head organizer and community services liaison officer with the Town of Bruderheim, said the show was a “great success” with 14 different acts in the lineup of entertainment.

Singing, dancing, and acting were all part of the fun filled evening.

“All the local clubs participated in the event along with individuals,” said Koschade.

During the evening there were special presentations made to Laura Kupsch and Doug Mashmeyer, who both received Queen’s Diamond Jubillee Medals recently, as well as Iris Penonzek who

received national recognization for her garden through the Communities in Bloom program, and Shana Milliken, who was one of the nominees for the

UFA Small Town Hero contest.

“I have had very positive feedback from different residents and everyone really enjoyed themselves,” added

Koschade.

So it appears that a second annual installment will be in order for Bruderheim and area residents to enjoy next fall.

In 2007 Lamont County significantly explanded the land zoned for industrail development in its Heartland Industrial Area. The

number of rezoned sections increased from four to 40 sections.

Although the world economic downturn resulted in relatively limited new industrail development in that area, and in the broader Alberta Industrial Heartland Zone over the next number of years, improving economics could now generate increased interest and activity in the immediate future.

From December 2008 until now, Matteotti says there has been expansion at the Shell Scotford plant, Canexus has tripled its land

holdings, Maxim Power has announced its new $200 million project, and two potential rail developments are in the works. With Alberta’s economic engine starting up again, more development is anticipated in the industrial heartland in the future.

Reeve Wayne Woldanski says balancing industrial growth and development with the needs and concerns of county residents is something that will continue to be discussed and developed by county council in the future.

Last year the Alberta Snowmobile Association spread its message to 12,000 students throughout the province, and representative Lori Zacaruk was at Bruderheim School for some hands on training with the Kindergarten to Grade 6 students on Oct.25th.

The Ride Safe, Ride Smart presentation was a hit with the students who learned about respect and safety as well as proper clothing and equipment when operating or riding on snowmobiles and all terrain vehicles.

“Always ride with an adult,” stressed Zacaruk to the students who went through the steps of a precheck safety check with Kindergarten to Grade 3 students. The steps included: looking for danger, checking around the machine, checking the throttle, checking the brakes, hooking up the tether, setting goggles, and slowly checking the brakes again.

Zacaruk also went through rider positions and proper hand signals with the children.

All of the students were given a reference snowmobile safety book as well as a brochure from the Canadian Avalanche Centre and voucher for avalanche skills training courses.

According to the law, riders must have a properly registered and insured machine and be 14 years of age to operate it independently. It was also pointed out that the minimum age required to register a snowmobile is 18 years of age.

If, however, sledders are riding on property they own or have acquired the right to access, then they do not need a driver’s licence, registration or insurance.

Sledders must also abide by municipal bylaws, and encouraged to check with their local municipality before heading out on the trail.

Sledders are also encouraged to ride in a group and take all necessary safety precautions.

Send your Letter to the Editor to: The Lamont Leader lamontnews@gmail.com Box 1079, Lamont, AB T0B 2R0 Fax: 780-895-2705

Hear here readers For my husband’s 50th birthday I was looking for something on the comical side and came across this coffee mug with the inscription: “Everyone is entitled to my opinion.”

I don’t always adopt or support his opinions, but I always respect the fact that he is willing to state his opinions.

There are so many topics and issues to talk about, and it is nice to listen and hear other people’s viewpoints. So during the month of November I am leaving space on page four for our readers to express their opinions. I am hoping that each and every week our readers will get to the heart of the matter, of what really matters to them. So put pen to paper or fingertips to keyboard and start writing, because we all need to hear a different perspective from time to time.

Letter to the Editor Views of Canadians disrespected, says senator Dear Editor, MP Leon Benoit and the Conservative government do not respect our democracy and they do not respect the views of Canadians. They have no interest in hearing from Canadians.

They have decided that they know what is best - and they are going to impose their will upon Canadians.

Parliament, they have decided, needs to be sidelined and ignored. It used to be a place where serious issues were debated, where the nationís business was taken care of. No longer.

Yet again, the Harper government has tabled an omnibus budget bill and this time 443 pages that amend everything from the Navigable Waters

Protection Act to the Canada Labour Code. By combining completely unrelated measures in a single massive bill, the Harper government is hoping that many of the provisions will not be noticed, or that Canadiansí outrage will be buried and today’s news story, forgotten tomorrow.

What is the government afraid of?

What are they afraid Parliamentarians and Canadians will discover if the bill is given the proper scrutiny its provisions deserve?

While in opposition, Stephen Harper complained about a 21-page omnibus bill, saying “the subject matter of the bill is so diverse that a single vote on the content would put members in conflict with their own principles and it will be very difficult to give due con-

Kerry Anderson Publisher

sideration to all relevant opinion.”

In opposition, a 21-page bill was offensive. Now he tells Canadians a 443-page bill is just right.

Other countries limit legislation to a single topic or subject. In the United States, 42 of the 50 state constitutions have articles prohibiting excessive omnibus legislation.

Recently the Liberal opposition in the House of Commons proposed a motion to place reasonable limits on omnibus bills. Mr. Benoit refused; he stood with his Conservative colleagues and voted that motion down.

Canadians expect Parliamentarians to do their job and to scrutinize legislation, to listen to Canadians, to seriously debate proposals, and to make changes where changes are necessary.

Michelle Pinon Editor

Tracy Harding Office Manager/ Ad Composition

That is how the best laws are made.

The Harper government knows that it is very difficult for Parliamentarians to do their jobs properly when presented with omnibus bills, and that is why it has become addicted to them.

This isnít how Canadians expect their government to work. We all deserve better.

It is time to deliver a message to the Conservative government: respect our democracy, and respect Canadians.† No more abusive omnibus bills.

Yours sincerely, Senator James Cowan Leader of the Opposition in the Senate

Elk Island Public Schools keep young riders safe through special program Jazmine Inkster Student reporter

According to Elk Island Public Schools (E.I.P.S) transportation director Lisa Weber, all students will have taken a school bus at some time in their school life, whether it is everyday bussing, or just to join their classmates on a field trip. It is because of this fact, that E.I.P.S. dedicates the better part of October each year to educate all students on tips to remember to help make bussing safer for everyone. Students in all E.I.P.S. schools took part in rear door bus evacuation drills, to help remind them what needs to be done in the case of a bussing emergency or accident. “Like anything, we may not always remember. It’s important to keep it fresh in [students] minds” explains Weber. Bus evacuations were held at Andrew School on October 3rd, at Mundare School on October 2nd, Bruderheim School on October 12th, Lamont Elementary on October 19th, and Lamont High on October 25th.

Prior to the evacuation, students gathered in the school gym and watched an instructional video on how the drill would work, then students were taken out in groups to take part in their own bus evacuation.

Although the students were able to have a bit of fun getting to jump off of the bus with the help of bus drivers and their peers, they also learned the importance of staying in order, and getting off as quickly as they can.

This year’s School Bus Safety Week followed the theme of “Stay Back From the Yellow and Black”.

This theme focus’s on the safety zones that surround the busses, and teaching children where it is and isn’t safe to be when getting on and off the bus.

“The general public isn’t

educated; they don’t all know to stop at flashing red lights on the bus,” explains Weber.

Students in E.I.P.S. are also encouraged to take part in the Alberta Student Transportation

Advisory Council’s poster contest.

Elementary students have an opportunity to create a poster which effectively conveys the safety rules that students need to remember to help keep them and their classmates safe.

The posters are then collected from across Alberta, and winners are chosen according to categories. The winners are awarded with $100 for their classroom, as well as a framed copy of their poster, and an engraved plaque.

Weber explains that one of the main problems with students in rural area’s is that a lot of the other traffic on the roads will not always obey the lights and warning systems that school transportation has

According to Weber, students in rural areas have a habit of relying much to heavily on the school buss’s eight light warning system, and simply assume that when the stop sign comes out, and the lights come on, they are automatically safe. However this is not always the case. “It is important to

bus driver can pay 100% attention to the road.

While camera’s and cell phones are not allowed to be used, students are encouraged to have hand held games or personal music devices to help make the bus ride go a little bit quicker. It is also very important for students to face forward during their trip. This helps to ensure that the safety features built into the bus seats can do their job. “We want students to remain sead, right until the bus comes to a complete and full stop” Weber explains.Parents can also play a big part in helping students do their part in keeping bussing safe. “Be Consistent,” explains Weber “have them be aware of the safety rules, Talk to your kids about the importance of keeping their talking level to a dull roar.” It is also important to make sure your child knows to look both ways before crossing to the bus, and that they are not rough housing around the bus stop. This is important because the bus driver may not be able to see a fallen child depending on where they are.

Annual maintenance nearing completion Michelle Pinon Editor Dollars don’t stretch as far as they used to, even $100,000; but Richard Chernyk, public works foreman for the Town of Lamont does his best to priortize the most urgent needs and stay within budget.

A total of 11 areas in town have been repaired over the past month and a half, and include

repairs to roads, sidewalks, and curbs. An estimated $22,000 has been spent on asphalt repairs, and around $65,000 for sidewalk and curb repairs.

One additional item that was approved separately by council was the replacement of the sidewalk at 50 A Street.

Chernyk says rubber tiles used as sidewalk material were replaced with a brand new con-

crete sidewalk.

The only thing left to do is capping of curbs, which Chernyk expects to be done sometime in the next week.

As far as new construction, crews installed water and sewer lines across Highway 15. Now that that has been completed, construction work on the new Heartland Hotel can proceed as planned.

Chipman area resident blazes trail to help find a cure Michelle Pinon Editor

Can one person or one day make a difference?

Just ask Tracy Childs, the Chipman area resident, who spent Aug. 31 with fellow volunteers to raise money for breast cancer research.

Childs does admit that initially she was tentative about going with the group of trail riders since she would only be able to ride for the day. “I was hesitant to participate for only one day because it didn’t seem like enough of a contribution. But then I thought everyone has a cause they feel strongly about, and any way you can support that cause is a benefit, no matter how small.”

Childs, with the help of numerous sponsors and supporters, was able to raise $645 for the cause. She definitely would like to thank her husband Curtis for the moral support, as well Tracy Radke for looking after her two “rugrats” Cassidy and Hayden. She also wanted to send a shout out to her sponsors Shirley Zukowski, Ann-Marie Wiltzen, Chris McIlveen, Nicole Gaboury, Trisha Naundorf, Joanne Tanner, Cheryl Holowachuk, Daphne Whitlock, Marcia Chandler, Celina McElroy, Mickey Nikish, and Isaac McNeil for all the “Shares on Facebook.”

She is also grateful for the support of trail boss Jane

Hurl, who she previously met during a meeting of the Chipman Agricultural Society. Childs is the treasurer for the society, and is very thankful for the opportunity to help out.

Tracy Childs was more than happy to meet up with her daughters Cassidy and Hayden, who are saddled up on Tracy’s horse Nikki at the recreation grounds in Lamont Aug.31st. Childs raised $645 during her one day trail ride with the Wild Pink Yonder.

The young mother describes herself as “shy”, but did enjoy meeting fellow riders along the trail. “I am normally rather shy and don’t speak up around new people, so it was definitely out of my comfort zone to jump in with a group of strangers, even for a day, but we all have at least horses in common so it made it easier to start conversations.”

Childs would definitely recommend the experience to other riders, but cautions, “You and your horse need to be in really good shape. We were both doing lots of stretching on our sore muscles the next day.”

Childs says she really enjoyed the campfire sing along. “It was a great way to end the day on the trail.”

One of the other riders made a huge impression on Childs. “I thought she was so amazingly beautiful, but when we were getting ready to do the parade through town she asks the group: “Are my boobs even?” It was then that another lady explained that she was a recent cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy, and still did not have the hang of wearing her prosthetic bra. Too funny.”

Childs is so glad that she did not let the ride pass so close to home, and has many fond memories of the ride. “We are fortunate that my family has no history of cancer, but I rode for other families who are not so lucky.”

Pursuit of excellence was clearly evident as junior and senior high students were recognized for their achievements in academics, athletics, arts, complementary courses, citizenship, environmental education, complementary courses, humanitarian and community service as well as leadership.

“I hoped you stopped in the entrance,” added McLean. Above the doors you’ll see our mis-

sion statement. Andrew School is dedicated to encourage, promote, and assist students in their quest for excellence in all school related endeavours,” stated McLean.

In his quest for excellence Tyler Ostashek was officially recognized for his outstanding achievements. While Ostashek was not able to receive the honours in person, his younger sister Cassandra accepted the Governor General Award for highest average in academic courses, and Jean and Gregory Moisey Scholarship for his humanitarian activities, community service, leadership and honesty.

He was also one of 12 students to receive the Andrew Lions Club Placement Awards for highest academic average. Fellow recipients included: Bradley Byrne, Taylor Kucharski, Hayley Ermantrout, Owen Serediak, Zachary Miller, Kaitlyn Bodnarek, Braydon Bryks, Kyle Smilar, Tanner Hennig, Jenna Flasha, and Kevin Little.

Top Academic Awards given to the student having the highest academic average in the grade were: Tyra Shulko, Cassie Melenka, Bradley Byrne, Owen Serediak, and Braydon Bryks.

Mayor Eldon Feniak commended the students

on their dedication, proving that homework and studying does pay off in the long run. “In order to achieve anything in life you have to put hard work into it,” he added, offering his congratulations to teachers and parents for their efforts.

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske offered congratulations to the students.

“I’m glad to honour your successes so fair.” Fenske wished them well in their future careers and endeavours.

Andrew School playground fundraiser in full swing Parent council seeking voter support throughout Lamont County for online contest

Students, staff, parents, and community members posed for this photo about a month ago to formally launch its playground fundraiser for Andrew School. Residents can support them by casting their ballots online.

Michelle Pinon Editor Tammy Pickett believes there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

That light is in the form of the Aviva Community Fund, which is giving away $1 million for ideas to create positive change in Canada.

Pickett, President of the Andrew School Parent Council, is looking for public support and votes, so the council will be able to purchase a new playground that will benefit the entire community.

“Please help us win this contest for the children of our community,”stated Pickett in a recent email. Parent council has also made a plea for help via Andrew School’s website and created a YOUTUBE video to make people aware of the need for a new playground. There is also a “Vote Here” link to the Aviva Community Fund website.

The current playground equipment is not accessible to students or community members that have special needs,

and is due to be replaced in 2014 because it will no longer meet safety standards. There is also a “Vote Here” link to the Aviva Community Fund website.

“Please help us win this contest for the children of our community,” says Pickett “Please, please vote everyday from now until Nov.5th and help us flourish the community for our children,” stated Pickett. This is the second qualifying round, and the third qualifying round begins Nov.12 and goes until Nov. 26th.

Semi-finalists will be notified Nov. 28th and have five days to update their ideas before the final round of voting begins on Dec. 3rd. The winning ideas will be announced on Jan. 29th, 2013.

Pickett also commented that first time users

must be registered before they can vote, but once that is completed, that it will only take mere minutes to cast their vote.

“Voting is easy. It will only take a few minutes of your time, but offer years of fun for the children.”

Council members are currently exploring new playgrounds, and have received a quote for a structure that will meet all of the new safety requirements as well as meet the creative needs for children of all ages and abilities. “Our intentions are to design this play area with our whole community in mind.”

The proposed playground would include structures for all children such as baby swings for toddlers, tables and benches for parents, wheelchair activities, and the new style of outdoor fitness equipment for physical education classes as well as parents to utilize as they supervise their children.

Parent council’s vision is to make the nonenclosed playground a meeting place for families to connect and bring the entire community together, added Pickett.

“The cost is approximately $95,000. At no additional cost, this company, along with The Emmanuel Foundation, will ship our existing playground equipment to another country in need of children activity parks.”

Currently, Andrew School’s project is in 26th spot. With a total 326 contestants in the medium category (between 100 and 1,000 residents) and a project cost estimate between $50,000 to $100,000.

Andrew School needs to place in the top 10 in order to advance to the semifinals of the competition.

Since Andrew is a relatively small community, Pickett is hoping other residents from communities throughout Lamont County will come onboard to support their efforts and help them reach the light at the end of the tunnel.

YOU’RE INVITED QUEST CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE PROJECT OPEN HOUSES Shell is proceeding to construct a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project in your region called Quest. Finding ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most important long-term challenges facing society. Carbon Capture and Storage has been identified as one of most promising technologies to reduce CO2 emissions from large-scale industrial facilities. The Quest project will capture more than one million tonnes of CO2 per year from the Scotford Upgrader beginning around 2015 – the equivalent of taking 175,000 vehicles off the road. This CO2 will be transported by an underground pipeline to injection wells located approx. 60 km north of the Upgrader and injected more than two km underground for permanent storage.

This fall Shell will be undertaking a number of drilling activities associated with the project and has plans to drill two injection wells as well as three deep monitoring wells and four shallow groundwater monitoring wells.

We will also be initiating an extensive sampling program of more than 200 existing groundwater wells in the area of the injection wells to collect baseline information for our Measurement, Monitoring and Verification program.

Quest CCS Project Open House Series. Please join us at an open house near you.

Open House #1 Radway Tuesday, November 13, 2012 4 - 8 p.m.

Quest CCS Project CO2 Pipeline The Quest CCS Project is located next to Shell Scotford, in the Industrial Heartland Region, approximately five kilometres northeast of Fort Saskatchewan, AB. The pipeline route (shown on the map as a dotted line) will travel up to 80 km north of the Scotford Upgrader to between three to eight injection wells.

ERCB REFERRAL NOTICE

BRIDGE CLOSURES

CHANGES TO THE SUBDIVISION/DEVELOPMENT PERMIT PROCESS

Bridge Construction Closures

WHAT’S CHANGING Recent changes to the Subdivision and Development Regulation will impact the subdivision/development permit process. Effective November 1, 2012, developers and property owners applying for subdivision or development permits must identify the location of abandoned oil and gas wells licensed by the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB). The ERCB no longer identifies the location of abandoned oil and gas wells in their referral comments to municipalities or their agencies.

As a result of these changes to the Regulation and the ERCB referral process, Municipal Planning Services and Lamont County will require applicants for subdivision and/or development permits to provide additional information before an application for subdivision or development permit is considered complete.

WHAT SUBDIVISION and/or DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICANTS NEED TO PROVIDE Developers and landowners applying for subdivision and/or development permits need to provide the following information (in addition to the information previously required):

The following roads and bridge structures will be closed to motoring traffic effective immediately to perform Repairs.

Each structure should be closed for a period as outlined below providing no complications with each project has occurred.

The following locations are: CLOSED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY (approx. 20 days) Bridge Site: Bridge: 744, Beaverhill Creek, Range Road 180 Location: South of Highway 15 near Hilliard (WSW 30-53-17-W4)

CLOSED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY (approx. 20 days) Bridge Site: Location:

Bridge 75346, Watercourse, Range Road 195 North of Highway 16 near Chipman (SW 32-53-19-4)

NEW GRADER POLICY

• A map of the subject site from ERCB and a statement that there are no wells in the subdivision and/or development area, OR if abandoned wells are identified, • A list and map identifying the locations of abandoned wells within the search area, including surface coordinates and required setback distances as required by the ERCB and the well licensee(s), and

• Written confirmation from the applicant that the licensee responsible for each well has been contacted and the exact well location confirmed.

The application for subdivision and/or development permits must include this information, or MPS/Lamont County will be unable to open the application for consideration. If wells are located within the area of subdivision or development, setback distances may apply, to be determined in consultation with the ERCB and the well licensee. These setback distances are required to provide access to the abandoned wells in case of repair or maintenance to the sites.

WHERE TO FIND THIS INFORMATION Developers and landowners must contact the ERCB prior to applying for subdivision and/or development permits. Information can be obtained from the ERCB’s Abandoned Well Viewer on their website www.ercb.ca.

Alternatively, applicants should contact the ERCB by telephone at 1-855-297-8311.

For further information contact Lamont County Planning & Development department at 780-8952233.
