Former CAO Miller convicted Michelle Pinon Editor
Shortly after 3:30 p.m. Thursday, January 26 Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Vital Ouellette requested Tom Miller to stand and asked him if he had anything to say? “No sir,” replied Miller in a voice that was barely audible. The former Town of Lamont Chief Administrative Officer also offered no comment to The Lamont Leader before leaving Courtroom 417 along with his defense lawyer following his conviction. Earlier in the afternoon 68-year-old Miller was found guilty of counselling to commit forgery and counselling to commit fraud against housing developer Gilles Filiatreault and urban planner Benoit Trudeau who was contracted by Jabneel Development Inc. that had planned a multi-million dollar housing development in the community back in 2008. The Crown had recommended six months incarceration and two years probation given Miller’s conduct. “The accused counselled them to tender fake evidence.” One of the aggravating factors is Former Town of Lamont that the stakes of the CAO Tom Miller $28.9 million civil lawsuit tendered by Jabneel against the Town of Lamont and Tom Miller are high and there was clear planning and deliberation that went on. Miller advised Trudeau he was getting fired and wanted me to meet with him and Filatreault, but Benoit did not call Miller back. Former Mayor Denis Durand also contacted Trudeau and acted as a go between the two parties in the summer of 2012, and on Sept. 28 they met at Boston Pizza in Fort. Saskatchewan. Miller said they had a chance to win at the lawsuit against the town, and let them look at a letter that had been prepared on town letter head. A few days later they met again and a letter of direction, power of attorney were also shown to Trudeau and Filiatreault. In return for that information Miller was led to believe he would receive 50 per cent of the proceeds from the civil lawsuit Jabneel had filed against the town. In reviewing the testimony, Justice Ouellette said those meetings that were secretly recorded by Trudeau and Filiatreault, will be of some
importance because until the alleged letter was produced on Oct. 4, 2012, “as these lawsuits were going nowhere.” Justice Ouellette was also curious as to why Miller would contact lawyer Mr. Fossey after he was terminated in 2011. While Miller said it was to open the lines of communication and to try and gather tidbits of information, Justice Ouellette said that did not make any sense. What also was not logical was why Miller would send a copy of the document to Durand and the town lawyer. While Miller denied creating the letter, he knew the letter was phoney. That letter was destroyed because he wanted to protect the former mayor. Fossey called Miller’s lawyers and said the reason for the call was that he was switching loyalties from Filatreault to the Town of Lamont. Justice Ouellette said there were inconsistencies in Miller’s testimony as well as evasiveness on his part by replying: “I guess so. I suppose so. He was not wanting to be pinned down with a yes/no answer.” During cross examination, Justice Ouellette pointed to the implausibility of Miller being in character. While the judge was left with reasonable doubt on counts one and two, to offer to sell or make available the forged letter as well as make a false document with the intent to induce a person to believe that it is genuine. “I was left with reasonable doubt that you were the author of the forgery.” While it was probable and likely Miller forged the document, he had to also be mindful of the reliability of evidence, since Miller didn’t know he was being recorded in those meetings, and that he didn’t find Trudeau or Filiatreaut’s testimony to be reliable either. Justice Ouellette went on to say, “Other than talking about it (forged letter), there was no further production of the letter. I actually don’t know who gave who what document between you and Trudeau.” He said it also was not logical for Miller, if he was the source or the mastermind of the letter why he would tell the town lawyer to say he would be getting 50 per cent of the proceeds from the lawsuit. “It defies logic…Why disclose that in an email?” He said that also raised doubt of who authored the letter. “The email exposes yourself, and you in particular, to being part of an illegal plan…You want the court to believe you were still role playing to see how far they’d go, but I reject that.” The Crown and Defense presented their recommendations in regards to sentencing, and Justice Ouellette told the court the punishment had to be a deterrent, denunciation of his actions, and reparations to the community. He added that the scheme Miller was participating in was over money. This is
all over money. That’s what we’re talking about.” Justice Ouelette fined Miller $200 on each count of counselling to commit forgery and fraud, as well as imposed 30 days of incarceration to be served at the local police detachment in his hometown of Wingham, Ontario. The remaining five months of his conditional sentence would be served under house arrest. Miller was also ordered to serve 240 hours of community service within the first five months of the six month sentence. There were several stipulations attached to his sentence, including a provision not to contact Gilles Filiatreault during that time unless it is in regards to a legal proceeding. Miller will not be allowed to travel to the United States during his time served. It was noted that Miller has no previous criminal record. Miller’s lawyer said the only sources of income Miller has is Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Pension. The $341,000 pay out Miller received from the Town of Lamont to terminate his contract was used to pay off the mortgage on his house. “I don’t know if you have remorse or not, but you haven’t expressed it….Dishonesty has to be a primary concern, and denunciation, so I will have to send you to jail.” Housing developer Gilles Filiatreault, who granted a short interview following the verdict, said he was satisfied Miller had been recognized for what he had done, and been found guilty. He also expressed his worry about cases like this in the future. “Six months in the community. What kind of signal does it send to those in power?” It has been more than a decade since Filatreault came out west to pursue his dreams, and has had to endure a great deal of suffering, both emotionally and financially because of Mr. Miller’s vengeful actions. Filiatreault believes Miller is the same today as he was at the time they signed the agreements, and when he was asking for his own commissions, except now, we have recordings and video to prove it. You have to be pretty smart to remember all the lies after all thses years, but the truth remains, even after all these years.” Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner, made the following statement on behalf of the town: “We are happy to see finalization in this matter. Although it was the actions of Mr. Miller after he left employment with the Town of Lamont, which led to his criminal charges, this has resulted in much negative publicity over the past four fears. Now that Mr. Miller has been found guilty and sentenced we hope to see closure on the matter.”

Elk Island National Park hosts Bison Blessing Ceremony Michelle Pinon Editor
Elk Island National Park (EINP) was the site for a special Bison Blessing Ceremony on Sunday, January 29. The host for the spiritual ceremony was the Samson Cree Nation from Treaty 6. The event, held under sunny skies and mild temperatures, was part of the modern day Buffalo Treaty. A total of 16 Plains Bison are expected to be repatriated to the remote eastern slopes of Banff National Park in late January or February. EINP spokesperson Janelle Lane said the reintroduction would return a native species to Banff and create new opportunities to reconnect Canadians and visitors with the iconic animal. “Supporting the relocation of disease free animals such as plains bison
has been an important part of EINP mission for more than a century. Our Indigenous partners have a strong connection to bison and Parks Canada is honoured to participate in these blessing ceremonies. We are working together with our indigenous partners to establish strong working relationships and bison provide a natural and cultural connection.
“This blessing ceremony, which will provide the bison with a proper send-off as they journey from Elk Island to Banff, is an early step in what we hope is a long and fruitful collaboration with indigenous communities.” She went on to say, “Parks Canada is committed to facilitating initiatives that welcome indigenous peoples to
reconnect with their heritage and enable them to participate in and benefit from national parks.” When the bison arrive at Banff National Park there will be a special welcoming ceremony to bless the animals and the project. “Throughout the park’s history, surplus plains bison have been provided to other national parks, to conservation
projects in Canada and the United States, and for auction where they have contributed to Canada’s successful bison ranching industry. Most plains bison in Canada today are descended from members of the Elk Island herd. Following the ceremony, hosts and guests toured the handling facility where they will be housed until their
departure. According to Parks Canada, “The overall goal of the reintroduction is to restore a wild, free-roaming bison population to Banff National Park in a way that supports ecosystem integrity, enriches visitor experience, renews cultural connections, and enhances learning and stewardship opportunities.”

Keystone XL pipeline project trumped by presidential executive order Michelle Pinon Editor
US President Donald Trump’s signing of an executive order to approve Trans Canada’s Keystone XL Pipeline was most welcome news for Albertans. Both Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs and Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood were enthusiastic about the announcement that came on Tuesday, January 24. Keystone XL, which will run from Hardisty, Alberta to Steele City, Nebraska was approved under the previous Conservative government, which helped secure broad based support in both the US Senate and Congress, but was ultimately vetoed by former President Barack Obama, pointed out Stubbs. She went on to say, it will create thousands of jobs for Canadians in oil and gas and manufacturing, as well as provide workers and proponents some certainty. “This approval of responsible energy transportation infrastructure will increase export capacities to Canada’s #1 oil
and gas customer, diversify Canadian energy export markets, and expand customer base for Canadian energy around the world. While the US is ramping up domestic energy production and positioning to become a major energy competitor for Canadian oil and gas, I am glad the President made a common sense, fact based decision, put economic best interests, the Canadian US partnership, and the standard of living and energy security of North Americans ahead of extremist ideology and short sighted activism, by reversing the previous veto.” Stubbs called Keystone XL a great step, but pointed to the need to get more of Canada’s energy products to more markets in the future, and how critical the need for infrastructure in all directions. She went on to criticize the Liberals as they have delayed and changed the approval steps for Energy East, and for other energy development over and over again. “The extensions to Canada’s already world leading regulatory process, and
comments like those of the Prime Minister about phasing out the oil sands, cause uncertainty for investors, pipeline proponents, and for unemployed energy workers. Canada needs to continue to develop its vast energy resources. Energy East will provide Canadian oil to Canadian refineries under Canadian standards, providing Canadian jobs and enabling access to tidewater. The Liberals are threatening Canada’s competitiveness and long term prosperity by stalling this project further. Instead, they should champion Canadian oil and gas, and Canadian workers, because the world needs more Canada.” MLA Littlewood said, “This is really positive news for this area. So many people here are involved in the oil and gas industry.” She said the announcement would put some local families back to work, and would bolster investor confidence. “Right now any growth is good.” Littlewood, who attended the recent
stakeholder reception for Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA), was buoyed by what she heard at that event and pointed to a couple of projects that will impact the region. One of the projects is Inter Pipeline’s proposed propane dehydrogenation plant and polypropylene facility near Fort Saskatchewan. According to a recent press release from Inter Pipeline, it expects to make a final investment decision on these two facilities by mid-2017. “Should these projects be fully sanctioned, an additional $195 million is included in the growth capital plan to continue the front-end design work and begin construction. In total, these petrochemical facilities are expected to cost $3.15 billion, and enter commercial service by mid2021. Agrium, which owns the largest fertilizer complex in North America, recently merged with Potash Corp to form a company with $21 billion in annual revenues. As well, the North West Redwater Partnership has made significant progress on its heavy oil
Lamont town council excited about upcoming plans and projects Michelle Pinon Editor Infrastructure always plays a key role in the budget of a municipality, and the Town of Lamont recently outlined its capital plans for 2017 in its yearly review and update which was mailed out to residents recently. While patching and paving are routine expenditures, there are other services that need to be upgraded, equipment that needs to be purchased, and recreational improvements to enhance the beauty and surroundings of the community. Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer said there will be road repairs in the Campbell subdivision as well as upgrades to the lift station in the
way of new pumps. Approved for purchase are a back hoe loader and rear bucket as well as an indoor scissor lift for the arena. On the parks and recreation side of things, construction of an observation platform, (Mallards Landing) near the pond in Hillside Park is expected to begin in February. The concession area will see an extension to the roof that covers the eating area. The town will also be commissioning an artist to build a large scale mural along the east side of the recreation centre. The mural will be historical in nature, and showcase some of the people and events which have shaped and influenced the town since it was incorporated. There are also plans to paint nature and animal inspired
images on the water reservoir located just off of Secondary Highway 831. The Lamont Light Up and Lamont Community Fair and Perogy Festival committees are also planning to have a gazebo construct-
ed beside the town office. Even though there is a lot to do, they are excited about being the host community for the fifth annual Babas and Borshch Ukrainian Festival in August.

Opinion Precautions to take to avoid being scammed You can never be too careful. It’s true, and the following information and tips could save you hassle and heartache of being a victim of crime. These helpful tidbits were recently shared, and I thought the examples and advice would be well worth heeding to protect yourself. 1 .LONG TERM PARKING: Some people left their car in the long-term parking at San Jose while away, and someone broke into the car. Using the information on the car’s registration in the glove compartment, they drove the car to the people’s home in Pebble Beach and robbed it. So I guess if we are going to leave the car in longterm parking, we should NOT leave the registration/insurance cards in
it, nor your remote garage door opener. This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology. 2. GPS: Someone had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard. When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage

remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they�knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents. Something to consider if you have a GPS - don’t put your home address in it. Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen. 3. CELL PHONES: I never thought of this! This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her cell phone after
her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc., was stolen. Twenty minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says, “I received your text asking about our Pin number and I’ve replied a little while ago.” When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text “hubby” in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account. Moral lesson: �a. Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names
like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.�b. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.�c. Also, when you’re being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don’t reach them, be very careful about going places to meet “family and friends” who text you. 4. PURSE IN THE GROCERY CART SCAM:� A lady went groceryshopping at a local mall and left her purse sitting in the children’s seat of the cart while she reached something off a shelf/ Wait till you read the WHOLE story! Her wallet was stolen, and she reported it to the store personnel. After
returning home, she received a phone call from the Mall Security �to say that they had her wallet and that although there was no money in it, it did still hold her personal papers. She immediately went to pick up her wallet, only to be told by Mall Security that they had not called her. By the time she returned home again, her house had been broken into and burglarized. The thieves knew that by calling and saying they were Mall Security, they could lure her out of her house long enough for them to burglarize it. � *PLEASE PASS THIS ON: Even if this does not pertain to you, please let your family and friends know so they don’t get caught in a scam.

Lingering questions remain for Jabneel developer Michelle Pinon Editor
Even though former Town of Lamont Chief Administrative Officer Tom Miller’s criminal trial reached its conclusion last Thursday afternoon, housing developer Gilles Filiatreault continues to be plagued with more questions in regards to town council’s role in the controversy. Filiatreault has been left wondering why the mayor and town councillors did not take action when he provided them with evidence of Miller’s fraudulent actions and demands? Filiatreault said he made council aware of his concerns around several issues regarding the development and Miller’s behaviour on Sept. 16, 2008. According to Filiatreault he asked Miller why the Town of Lamont does not give a list of builders and developers to those who want to purchase property. He claims that Mr. Miller answered that I was paying fees to real estate agents and other selling agents, and that if I was selling through his referral I should pay fees to him personally, just like a real estate agent or salesman. Filiatreault said he asked if that was legal in Alberta, because it is in Quebec, and he answered that he’s seen that before. “He, (Miller), came back to me several times after to ask me for these fees, including two times before a witess, he then asked me to keep people out of this and to meet him alone when we had personal matters to to talk about…” Filiatreault said Miller asked for fees in front of a witness a second time, and he consulted his lawyer and was advised that what Miller was proposing was not only unethical, that his actions were illegal. From that point on, Filiatreault said the relationship changed and was continuing to erode which resulted in further delays and additional costs for Jabneel. There were several

Filiatreault said the town lawyer and his lawyer agreed the Stop Work Order was premature, high handed and unnecessary, and he requested to deal with someone other than Miller. According to minutes of the special meeting of council on Sept. 16, 2008 Filiatreault was angry that a Stop Work Order was placed on the Edna subdivision, and made numerous allegations against the town manager and said he could not work with him. The minutes also stated that; “Mr. Filiatreault acknowledge that he had allowed numerous trucks and heavy equipment onto town streets. He promised that this would not happen again, and that he would direct heavy equipment and trucks to use the alternate service road through the subdivision. He agreed to pay the fee for lifting of the Stop Work Order. Council directed the development officer to lift the Stop Work Order upon payment of the fee of $500. Coun. Harsulla recommended that the public works department inspect the Edna subdivision twice a day and keep a log of activity. Skinner said that same developer fails to mention all of the extensions,
and special meetings that were held to go over plans, and that council tried to support his efforts any way possible. Skinner also pointed out with the downturn in the economy there were a number of other developers that had projects that went uncompleted. Looking back, Filiatreault still doesn’t understand why council did not investigate or go to the police. Mayor Bill Skinner said, “There wasn’t any proof or evidence of wrong doing to support Mr. Filiatreault’s claim.” Skinner reiterated that all of the charges against Mr. Miller happened after council decided to part ways with him in December of 2011. As to what impact the civil lawsuit Filiatreault has launched against Miller and the town will have has yet to be determined, but Skineer said “a lot of people have been impacted by the criminal lawsuit. While Skinner doesn’t know how much time and money has been invested before and during the lengthy two year trial, it has taken its toll on councillors as well as the current chief administrative officer. Skinner said there are always two side to the story, and the picture that Mr. Filiatreault paints is not the complete one.

MLA Jessica Littlewood takes a shot at floor curling in Mundare Michelle Pinon Editor Never one to back down from a challenge, Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood took up the invitation to try her hand at floor curling thanks to members of the Mundare Senior Citizens Drop In Centre. Wednesday afternoon was the perfect time for a lesson, and Littlewood said she thoroughly enjoyed the experience. “They kept telling me not to throw so hard,” she says with a laugh. Littlewood said she had some gracious teachers who tried to give her practical advice on how to float rocks and the like. “She curled pretty good after awhile,” said Club President Marrien Chudyk. “Lots of laughs, but she should not quit her day job,” he added jokingly. Littlewood would be the first to agree, but thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to mix and mingle in an informal way. During refreshments, Chudyk, along with fellow members, talked

about the senior centre and future plans, and Littlewood gave them an update as to what is happening in government. Chudyk said Littlewood was open to their thoughts and suggestions, and it was a nice visit.

Wild Pink Yonder to forge new path on the trail to a cure for cancer Michelle Pinon Editor
Jane Hurl and members of her posse gathered at the Chipman Hotel recently to celebrate and share in their successes on their latest trail to a cure. The 2016 trail ride lasted 23 days, covered 500 kilometres spread throughout four provinces, was a great adventure and raised $109,486 for breast cancer research. Of those funds, Alberta received the lion’s share of $98,480. “Those numbers should make every pinkster proud,” stated Hurl during her speech. Dr. David Eisenstat, University of Alberta Professor and co-director of the Cancer Institute of Northern Alberta, (CRINA),was on hand to accept a cheque of $17,748.29 from Hurl. A few months earlier, she had presented him with a cheque for 70,000. Eisenstat told the crowd, CRINA was launched two years ago, and the purpose was to link all cancer researchers together to facilitate collaboration and access to resources as well as educate researchers, members of the public and special interest groups about the value of translational cancer research. He said there are 110 cancer researchers at the U of A as well as trainees. He briefly touched on the work that is being done, as well as the efforts of his co-director Dr. Lynne Postovit. Altogether, the charitable society has raised $903,013.07 since the trail ride began eight years ago. Hurl expressed her admiration and respect for all of the riders and contributors to the cause, and announced 2016 was the last of the long trail rides, but not the end of the trail as they would be doing other kinds of events in the future. “We are doing the right thing for the right people, and we’re going to continue to do that,” said Hurl. She put out a few ideas, and volunteers added their own during a brain storming session. Some of the possible fundraisers included: guided des-
tination tours, weekend trail rides, cowboy challenges, etc. Hurl is lining
up a series of car shows throughout western Canada this summer,
and said that all of the proceeds raised will be for all types of cancer. “I absolutely admire every woman here. They are great human beings,” said Hurl, who admires their strength and tenacity as they have forged their own unique path
together. There have been many memorable moments on and off the trail including a hurricane, horrendous rain storm, camping out in 18 inches of water, etc. One of the most interesting towns was Richdale, noted Hurl. A town with
only five residents who raised $48,000 and built their own signature pink fence. She said the volunteers keep coming back year after year, and they will now travel on a new path together in 2017.

The winner was part of Kardash’s hat trick. He also picked up an assist. Other scorers were; Max Farrell (4a), Seth Williams (3a), Ethan Zago (1g 1a), Chris Couillard (1g), Cara
Stuermer (1g), Mason Able (1g), Xander Harpe (1a), and Kalem Stuermer (1a). Markus Taylor picked up the win.
Lamont Tier 3 Midgets were scheduled to play two interlock games on the weekend, Friday hosting Westlock and Sunday hosting
Winfield, but neither score was finalized and posted at deadline Monday morning.
Air analyzers removed on Range Road 220 north of Hwy 15 SUBMITTED ARTICLE Fort Air Partnership (FAP), the organization that monitors the air local residents breathe, announced today it will remove sulphur dioxide and ammonia analyzers from its continuous monitoring station located on Range Road 220, about one kilometre north of Highway 15. The move, approved by Alberta Environment and Parks, was made because the analyzers at the Range Road 220 station are providing redundant information. Also, the local industrial operations and conditions that originally required these analyzers
at this station no longer exist. The analyzers stop operating on January 13. “Local residents will not be affected by this change as we have other stations nearby to measure and provide information on the amount of airborne sulphur dioxide and ammonia. We will continue to have a good understanding regionally of these substances in the ambient air,” explained Nadine Blaney, FAP’s Executive Director. Readouts for sulphur dioxide and ammonia at the station have been consistently low for six years and have not exceeded the provincial
government’s objectives since at least 2003 when FAP began operating the station. The Range Road 220 station will continue to monitor for nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxides, nitric oxide, nonmethane hydrocarbons, methane, total hydrocarbons, ethylene, wind and temperature. The public can access near real time hourly readings at the Range Road 220 station and FAP’s eight other continuous air monitoring stations. This information, along with a daily and forecast Air Quality Health Index, is available at www.fortair.org
