Poachers kill Elk Island National Park Bison Michelle Pinon Editor

Poachers have shot and killed two bison in Elk Island National Park (EINP). Now, Parks Canada needs the public’s help to try and solve the incident that occurred near the north entrance of the park between Oct. 17 and 18. According to Parks Canada, one or more individuals shot and killed two bison. One of the animals was dragged along the highway to a field approximately 800 metres north of the park where some of the meat

was removed. A white Dodge pick up truck with extra grill lights, and a rooftop light bar was seen in the area and may have been involved. Poaching is a serious crime. The Canada National Parks Act protects all wildlife in national parks. “Parks Canada takes the harassment, injury, and poaching of animals in national parks very seriously and will hold accountable those found responsible,” stated Pat Dunn, External Relations Manager for EINP and Prince Albert National Park. The Canada National

Parks Act sets out a range of fines for poaching in National Parks. The fines for poaching a bison in a national park range between $4,500 (minimum) and $750,000 (maximum). A person convicted under this section of the Act would also be liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years, or to both a fine and imprisonment. Parks Canada is asking anyone with information to call 1-877-8523100. SUBMITTED PHOTO

This bison was one of two shot and killed at Elk Island National Park recently. Anyone with any information about this serious crime is asked to phone Parks Canada.

Alberta Midland Rail ready to make tracks in Lamont County Michelle Pinon Editor

Alberta Midland Rail is proposing to build a $30 million rail car storage facility in Lamont County, and representatives officially unveiled their plan during an open house in Bruderheim recently. Around 35 people attended the information session at the fire hall to see and hear details of the plan for the yard that will be located on Range Road 201 north of Highway 15 and south of Township Road 560. Shawn Smith of Dominion Railway Services, said the rail car storage yard is to serve private fleet owners and rail shippers. The main anchor tenant is to be Pembina, who will be able to store just over 800 rail cars. “It will be efficient for them to have a third party storage facility,” stated Smith. He went on to say, the company will also have opportunities for other companies to use the facility as they will have the flexibility of expanding the operation. Logistics LP, who have existing and expanding operations within Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, will also be utilizing the rail car facility, added Smith.

Shawn Smith and Alexandra Peterson were two of the representatives on hand to show members of the public the plan for a proposed rail car storage yard near Bruderheim during a recent open house at the fire hall. Brent Cheek with Northern Plains Rail Services said construction is slated to begin in June of 2016. Target in-service date is June of 2017. A total of 12,000 feet of tracks will be used for exchanging railcars with CN, switching and temporary storage. There will also be a small repair area on-site where cars can be switched to and placed for inspection and repair, using a mobile repair truck. In terms of regional and economic benefits, the project will create jobs during construction as well as during operational phases, along with possible busi-

ness expansion. Smith said they make every effort to hire local, and that will have a positive effect on the local economy. Alberta Midland Railway Terminal Ltd. (AMRT) represents a group of experienced rail operators and private investors. R.K. Heggie Grain Ltd is the founder and operator of Transmark, a multi-modal rail transfer and storage facility near Lethbridge.

Opinion Terrorist attacks call for unified retaliation by France’s allies “Did you hear what happened in Paris?” asked my husband when I came home from work Friday evening. “No,” I replied. Flicking on the TV, we began watching live footage from Paris. Mass shootings, suicide bombings, and hostage taking were all part of a series of co-ordinated terrorits attacks in Paris and in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis. According to news reports, 129 victims were dead and 415 were admitted to hospital with injuries sustained in the attacks, with 80 people described as

being seriously injured. The Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attacks. The attacks were reportedly the deadliest in France since World War II, and the deadliest in Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004. Two days later France launched its largest single airstrike of Operation Chammal, striking targets in AlRaqqah, Syria in retaliation for the attacks. Just as Canadians stood in solidarity on Remembrance Day on Nov. 11th we must remain united in the

a peaceful solution has come and gone, and despite the risks,

fight, and assist France in any way, shape, or form in order to stand a fighting chance against the high powered extremists who have proven that they can strike anywhere, at anytime. No country is safe. While Canada may seem well insulated, I think we do have a false sense of security, simply because most of us can’t imagine something as cruel and violent happening inside our borders. I feel the time for

Canadian soldiers will have to fight once again to protect our values

and freedoms. Michelle Pinon

To the Editor, I have noticed in the press that once again government is saying that they are creating jobs. If government returning tax funds to the private sector creates jobs, then when the taxes are taken out of the private sector, jobs are destroyed. It would be more accurate to say that government is restoring previously destroyed jobs in the private

sector while incurring administrative costs in taking the taxes out and then putting them back in. The next worst thing the government does is destroy productive jobs in the private sector and replace them with productive jobs in the public sector which are less effective due to bureaucratic management. The next worst thing the government does is destroy

productive jobs in the private sector and replace them with unproductive jobs in the public sector. The next worst thing the government does is destroy productive jobs in the private sector and replace them with bureaucratic waste and inefficiency. Canadian governments take over 40% of the annual private sector income in taxes which is a tremendous loss in potential

investment and the associated employment. Governments ignore the negative effect they have on the economy. When a government claims to be creating jobs either they are dishonest or they do not understand the impact of taxes on the economy. The truth is that the net effect of governments is to destroy jobs. Robert McFazdean

From Where I Sit: Get Home Safe

By Hazel Anaka It’s been quite a while since I shared my collection of clever license plates and signs with you. I only have one sign from beside a church but it’s a goodie, especially these days. “ Honk if you love Jesus. Text while driving if you want to meet Him.” It seems the more aggressive license plates appear on bigger or sportier vehicles. UCDUST on a white Dodge dually truck. Or CHWTHS on a white Acura sports car. Or RUNAMUC on a Jeep. I prefer ones that are clever, confessional, or self-deprecating not intimidating. The owner of a Ford Edge states a philosophy: LIV2LAF. Apparently the driver of a white Hyundai Sante Fe is a SPOILD1. Another Hyundai SUV wonders WHAZZUP. But there is hope. The owner of a blue Ford Focus is clearly MKNPRGS. Other times the plate is a statement of fact: 60CHEVY on a fire

engine red Impala complete with fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Or the Toyota Highlander whose owner is a DOC 4U. Or the Mustang plate that says GONNGT. I feel a little sad for the driver of a grey SUV who says I12ESCP but then who hasn’t shared that sentiment? Sadly, when I got to the end of my own list I was forced to Google to see what else was out there. I think most of these are American. Someone in Montana has ICU2COP while somewhere in Arizona someone else is having 3XTHFUN. Unfortunately in Alaska you can expect BRRRRRR. In Maryland we find that WEHVFUN. There’s also a wee bit of passive-aggressive stuff happening between couples: HISNHRS, WASHIS (on a silver convertible), and H8MYWIF. Way to keep the animosity alive, guys. It seems a certain corvette driver suffers from NRSISSM, while a Mercedes owner declares NOT POOR and someone else is CRAMPED. The owner of a black sports car thinks he’s driving the BATT MBL. A hearse warns that UARNEXT. At least, he’s not COP B8 or SUPRBAD. Let’s hope that IAMLATE and TRIPPIN (a California plate, go figure) go with GOD SPD and arrive with NOREGRET. There is likely no help for the

BLOND plate mounted upside down or the red SUV with a smashed rear end despite the plate imploring everyone to PLZ STOP. There were also a couple DROPOUT plates on snazzy sports cars…..so, there!

Someone else wants to publicly state IOU DAD. I wonder what goes on in the car with $EXXXIII or SATAN plates? We can feel the discontent with AWWCRAP, WNTR SUX and OMGWTF. There’s a better attitude expressed

with SKI BUMM, HOWIROL, and ITHAD2BU. Could Buzz Lightyear be driving the Infiniti N BYOND? I hope this exercise in fun has inspired you to check out who is sharing the road with us because

whether they’re bullies or cheeky or just good fun, we’re all in this together. We need to be smart and give the job of driving the attention it deserves so that we all get home safe, from where I sit.

As organizers, we make every effort to organize the Businesses, the Volunteers, the Runners and their donors in this yearly tribute to Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope, which till this day still offers hope to the families of those who have lost their battle to cancer, to those currently living with cancer and to the growing number of survivors. Thank you ALL for your support, assistance, participation, encouragement, and donations. As Organizers - we especially thank the Business community for your contributions and donations to this event. And, as always, being a co-ordinator means nothing without the continued help of my Brother Knights and their families as well as our many non-Knights volunteers. BUSINESS OWNERS A quote from a Business Owner - "As Business Owners we honor the participants by encouraging them and we aim to give back to the community. Our contributions, donations and gifts go to encourage more participants "to participate" in whatever way they can. When we see the ever increasing number of red Terry's Team T-shirts - indicating the wearers are cancer survivors - we are proud to do our part". Our Thanks go out to all these business owners for your contributions. Water, juice and coffee quench our thirst , food sustains our energy, and the door prizes excite everyone's mind. And your added dollars help fund more research. VOLUNTEERS The volunteers bring the RUN together by being the arms, legs and backbone of the event (that is bringing everyone and everything together in one place). Our thanks to you. PARTICIPANTS - 'RUNNERS' (INCLUDING WALKERS, BIKERS) AND THEIR DONORS AND SUPPORTERS The Runners and Your donors are the arms, legs and backbone of 'The Marathon of Hope'. Thank you for picking up the RUN 'from and for' Terry Fox and renewing Hope for the families of those who've passed from cancer, those who live with cancer and those who are survivors not to mention the rest who hope never to meet with cancer. Thank You again to the runners for your commitment and perseverance in search of donors. It's not easy to ask people to open their wallets in support of any cause especially in a year of downturns. And Especially Thank You to all the donors who present the challenge, donate their dollars and want to see results from both the runners and The Terry Fox Foundation with their teams of researchers. Dollars count but so do results! On behalf of Our Lady of Lourdes Star Council # 6382 Shanon Skitsko, Terry Fox Run Coordinator (& Nadine Skitsko, Consultant)

(a) Be it resolved by Special Resolution, that we approve, pursuant to 276 of the Co-operative Act, the sale of all or substantially all of the property of the Andrew Co-operative Association Limited to The Beaver Creek Coop Association for $120,000. (b) Pursuant to section 306 of the Co-operative Act, authorize the dissolution of the Andrew Co-operative Association Limited as soon as practicable. (c) The directors and officers of Andrew Co-operative Association Limited be and are hereby authorized and directed to do such acts and things and execute such documents as may be necessary or desireable to implement the said dissolution. Considering the continual decline of operating results and capital required for asset replacement and upgrades, the Board of Directors is recommending the members approve a dissolution and sale of remaining assets of the Andrew Co-op to Beaver Creek Co-op. The Directors of Andrew Co-op are committed to protecting the members’ equity of the Co-operative and retaining services in the community of Andrew. Dissolution with Beaver Creek Co-op purchasing the assets will result in the members of Andrew Co-op being paid out their equity, the assets sold to Beaver Creek Co-op and operational decisions being made by Beaver Creek Co-op. The Board’s intent is to receive approval from the membership for Andrew Co-op to dissolve in early 2016. Note: There will be no voting by proxy. Andrew Co-op Dissolution - Frequently Asked Questions Why Dissolution instead of Amalgamation? Dissolution of the smaller co-op with the larger co-op acquiring the assets is a much simpler process. The members of the smaller co-op are informed of the financial outlook, and in the case of Andrew Co-op are promoting a new relationship and way of doing business that involves Beaver Creek Co-op. This new relationship will retain a Co-op presence in Andrew, and allow the equity of the Andrew Co-op to be dispersed to the members. If Andrew Co-op continues without dissolution - what are the risks? A financial projection was completed and it revealed that operations would continue to decline, and that there would be insufficient savings to generate a patronage allocation to the members. The existing Petroleum assets must be replaced and existing fuel storage upgraded by 2017 in order to comply with the new provincial legislation. There is no return on the investment for the members if the Co-op was to replace these petroleum assets, and it would impair the members equity. If the Andrew Co-op Petroleum department isn’t viable why would Beaver Creek Co-op purchase these assets? Does Beaver Creek Co-op intend to upgrade and continue with the department? The Andrew Petroleum department would be viable as part of a larger association, where it would not incur the full expense of an administration department on its own. Beaver Creek Co-op will use their existing rolling stock to deliver the additional bulk fuel volume, eliminating the cost of a replacement fuel truck. The Cardlock assets would be upgraded to new provincial requirements and would continue to operate. Beaver Creek Co-op would take possession at the beginning of February 2016. What will happen to the employees? The existing employees’ contracts with Andrew Co-op will end January 31st, 2016. If Andrew Co-op dissolves, what is the process? A special meeting has been called for November 19, 2016 at 7:00pm at the Andrew Community Centre. The purpose of the meeting is for the members to vote by secret ballot to dissolve the Andrew Co-op. For Andrew Co-op to dissolve, it will require support of 2/3 of the members that are percent at the special meeting that form a quorum. If the members vote in favor of dissolution the members’ would then need to appoint a liquidator of the assets. Who should the liquidator be? The liquidator is generally an individual that is charged with liquidating the inventory and assets, ensuring the employees are paid and in the end overseeing the members receiving their equity. The liquidator’s roles and responsibilities are covered under the co-op act. Note: As per the Andrew Co-op Articles of Incorporation: On the liquidation and dissolution of the Cooperative and after the payment of all of its debts and liabilities, including any declared and unpaid patronage returns and any amounts to be paid on the redemption of membership shares, the value of the remaining property of the Co-operative is to be distributed or disposed of among the persons who were members of the Co-operative on the date the Co-operative resolved to liquidate and dissolve, in proportion to the number of membership shares held by each member as of that date. How do I continue purchasing from the co-op? Customers will need to purchase a membership and apply for credit and Cardlock Cards with Beaver Creek Co-op to share in the benefits of supporting their co-op. When would I receive my equity cheque? There are several variables in dissolution and an effort will be made to payout equity as quickly as possible. Without having to wait for the sale of assets and the process should move along faster than if the assets were being sold to an outside party.

Lamont County council awards gravel contracts Michelle Pinon Editor

Gravel, and the aggregate is getting harder to find, let alone secure, that is why Lamont County council decided to shore up as much of the indispensable commodity as it could during its Nov.10th, meet-

ing. Council was unanimous in its decision to shore up 230,000 tonnes of gravel for its 2016 and 2017 graveling programs at a cost of just over $2.2 million. Council awarded two tender contracts for the gravel. Members voted in favour of entering into

an agreement with Hardrock Contracting to supply up to 120,000 tonnes of road crush gravel for $1,536,700 and to enter into an agreement with DDC Sand & Gravel to supply up to 100,000 tonnes of road gravel for $687,000. Funds for the DDC Sand and Gravel con-

tract were not included in the county’s 2016 budget, but Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Robyn Singleton told council they will have to find the money from somewhere. Singleton said he realized they would be tying up a lot of money on gravel, but that it would

be worth it because they could get it (gravel) at a cheaper price this year. “What we’re saving here we we’re spending on the roof,” quipped Deputy Reeve Daniel Warawa. During his report, Singleton said he hoped they were running out of “unnice surprises” in

regards to the roof. Singleton said he would like to know who the inspectors were at the time the administration office was built. “I would like to meet them in a dark alley. Kidding, sort of. In any event, renovations are moving forward inch by inch at the county office”, he added.

Letter: Lakeland REA member expresses his thoughts about recent annual general meeting I attended the Lakeland REA Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on the evening of November 5th in Vegreville and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on the meeting. But first some history on the events leading up to the meeting. This past June ATCO presented an offer to purchase the Lakeland REA distribution system for just over $30,000,000.00, which equates to $21,548.74 for each tap or service owned by REA members. The REA Board declined ATCO’s offer and then called information meetings for its members. However, instead of conducting joint meetings with ATCO, so members could ask questions of both sides, the Board held meetings on the same dates and times as those held by ATCO. At the REA meetings the Board advised members they declined ATCO’s offer and would not be taking the offer to the membership, to allow members to vote on the matter. On this issue all I can say is, I don’t believe it is the “right or prerogative” of a nine-member Board to make such a decision; that decision lies in the hands of all the members collectively. Shortly after these information meetings a small group of concerned REA members formed a committee, calling themselves the Lakeland REA Petition Committee. The committee came together because the only way members can get to vote on ATCO’s offer is by petitioning the Board to conduct a Special General Meeting (SGM). At an SGM all members who attend would then vote, by secret ballot, to either accept or decline ATCO’s offer. Just so you know, if a minimum of 25% of all REA members sign the petition the Board is then required to hold an SGM and conduct the vote. Since then the Board has been doing every-

thing they can to prevent this issue from going to an SGM and have been putting up numerous road blocks. The most recent attempt to prevent members from having their say, was the Board’s introducing a motion at the AGM to change the quorum requirements to 75% of all members, but only for a vote on a sales offer. If this motion had passed, it would have effectively prevented members from ever being able to vote on a sales offer, as it would be virtually impossible to get 75% of all members together in order to take a vote. This action of the Board flies in the face of basic democratic principles on which our nation was founded and I find this very troubling. There are other things about this Annual General Meeting that concern me as well… •The meeting was scheduled on a week night (Thursday) with a start time of 7:00pm; Especially at this time of year, I feel starting at 1:00 pm on a Saturday may have allowed more members to attend, e.g. seniors or others who have difficulty driving at night, those with children in school and/or early morning work responsibilities the next day. •The registration process was inadequately staffed and as such the meeting didn’t start until about 8:35 pm. This resulted in the meeting going much later than expected, putting pressure on those in attendance. This was clearly evident when midway through the meeting many persons started to leave. •The Bylaw proposal presented by the Board, to change the quorum requirements to 75% of all members, for a vote to sell, was most troubling. Ironically, the Board was asking those members present to support a Bylaw that would have essentially taken away one of our rights, as members, to choose the future of our REA. Fortunately the motion

was defeated. •With respect to the Bylaw proposal the meeting Chairman allowed REA President Bernie Klammer and a guest from another REA to speak at length about why they thought it was an important Bylaw and why it should be supported by the members present; These two presentations were made prior to the Bylaw being “moved and seconded”. This is contrary to accepted procedure as described in Roberts Rules of Order. I challenged the Chair on a “Point of Order” in this regard, but my objection was overruled, wrongly I believe. •Additionally, with respect to the Bylaw proposal, I attempted to introduce an amendment to change from the “75% stated in the original motion” to 25%, which is a more realistic number of members one could hope to have attend an SGM to conduct a vote to sell. Coincidentally there were about 25% of members present at this AGM; a far cry from the typical 10 to 25 members that usually attend; �My attempt to introduce this amendment was flatly denied by the REA Board and President. •Following the vote the REA President announced those who would act as Scrutineers and the 5 individuals named were all either directors or employees of other REAs, who were in attendance as guests by invitation of the Board; I question whether those selected are impartial as they were strongly outspoken in favour of the Bylaw; with that in mind I suggested two members be appointed as well. The President declined my challenge and simply named 2 more persons as opposed to accepting any volunteers from the membership, myself included. •After the ballot count and the Chairman’s announcement the motion was defeated, a member requested the

final count of the vote; This request was deferred to the Board by the meeting Chairman and the Board chose not to release the results. I do not believe the Board’s refusal to announce the ballot results was proper. I believe the mandate of the Board should be to: fairly, honestly and in an open manner conduct all business of the REA in the best interests of all its members and to provide the highest level of service at competitive rates. After seeing the actions of the Board over the last few months and at this year’s AGM, I wonder if they are truly acting in the best interests of their members. I must say I am truly disappointed, to say the least. This pretty much sums up my recall of the meeting. On another note I must say those present conducted themselves in

a civil manner and for that I commend all those in attendance. I also want to thank all those who came out and espe-

cially those who helped defeat the Board’s Bylaw proposal. Dennis Holowaychuk

Lamont Travel wings its way to 28 great years

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Cenovus Energy representatives Erika Uchmanowicz and Andrea Ruste presented a $1,200 cheque to the Bruderheim School Library on Oct. 27th. Accepting the cheque were students Cullen Secrist, Natalie Green and Liam Lewis as well as Librarian Elaine Bartz, back row left, and Principal Jeff Huculak, back row right. Huculak said the money will be used to purchase much needed literacy resources for the school.

It’s been 28 years since travel agent Maria Young started planning dream vacations for local travellers at her Lamont location on main street, and she has no plans of altering her flight plan any time soon. Young says it’s time to celebrate, and is hosting an open house on Tuesday, November 24th for all of her customers, past and present, to say thank you for their business. “I just wanted to thank everyone for their support,” says Young, who first began in the travel business more than 40 years ago. “I was working at West End Travel, doing things for neighbours and my friend Sophie said why not operate a travel business in Lamont?” The idea caught hold, and Young said it did make more sense to open her own travel agency than to keep commuting back and forth to west Edmonton. The move turned out to be the perfect fit for Young and her family, and she has come to know most of her customers on a first name basis. Lamont Travel is actually housed in a former funeral home, and was purchased from Chuck Vargus many years ago. Young has always found

the travel business to be interesting and varied, and a service that has brought a lot of joy and happiness to her clients, who have had many unforgettable vacations over the years. To show her gratitude, Young will be offering coffee and cake between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Nov. 24th, and hopes to see all of her clients to personally thank them for their business.

Various activities are planned in schools division wide including school assemblies, presentations on cyberbullying, student performances themed around building healthy relationships, conflict-resolution lesson plans, random acts of kindness deeds, and much more. “By working together, students, staff, and parents have the power to change bullying behaviour and create a better and safer environment for all students,” says Tracy Muth, the director of Inclusive Learning at EIPS.

MEMORIAM

In memory of our Mom, Nana and Great Nana. BARBARA HARRISON, November 14, 2009.

MEMORIAM

EDWARD THOMPSON Sept. 25, 1926 Nov. 18, 2013 As time goes by without you and days turn into years, they hold a thousand memories and hundreds of silent tears. When shadows fall about me and my sad heart is alone, there is a strength that comes to me far greater than my own. There is a love that comforts. There is a light that leads. There is a heavenly Father who understands our needs. Love forever, from wife Ella TO DAD How lucky we were to have you as our father. You taught us so much about life and how to think for ourselves. You influenced our lives with your interest and life experiences. You always had a piece of advice when needed, a serious thought or a funny story. We wish we could have had you awhile longer, but we count our blessings that you were our father because there is no one else we would have wanted. Thanks for all the memories! May God care for you as you cared for us.

Quietly remembered everyday, sadly missed along life's way. Gone are the days we used to share. But in our hearts, you are always there. Memories silently kept, of one we loved and won't forget.
