Marijuana greenhouse proposal denied Chipman area residents protesting development win favour of SDAB

BY JOHN MATHER The Lamont County Subdivision and Development Appeal Board has denied the proposed marijuana greenhouse, southeast of Chipman.

“Upon hearing the evidence and arguments presented at the hearing, and considering the written submissions received during and in advance of the hearing the Board denies and application,” the board said in a written decision released Dec. 14.

The decision represents a victory for a large number of area residents who

opposed the development. They argued it would fit in better in a light industrial area rather than a site where top quality agricultural land would be taken out of production.

The Board concluded that while the use did fit within the County’s discretionary zoning, as it is currently written, the proposal would have more ideally fit in a light industrial zone.

The board also criticized the devel-

opment proposed by GAIA BioPharmaceuticals, for a lack of studies on the land such as geotechnical, wetland/environmental, safety or traffic impact, all which had led to an impasse with the local residents.

The reasons for the decision added the County’s municipal development plan attempts to protect farming in agricultural areas by discouraging the use of agricultural land for non-farm land

“ ” ... not an appropriate use of the lands.

uses or the fragmentation of farm land.

“Non farm land uses,” the reasoning stated, “that may conflicts with the agricultural uses should not generally be allowed except in unique or special circumstances.

The board went on to state the development did not meet the requirements of prime agricultural land and “is not an appropriate use of the lands.”

Neither the developer nor local resident spokesman Shelagh Pastoor was available for comment by press time.

Lamont town council passes 2019 budget Revenue down, slight tax increase necessary

BY JOHN MATHER The Town of Lamont passed its budget at the end of November with only a slight hike in the tax rates charged to residents.

The budget will have a one per cent increase in residential tax rate and 1.5 per for commercially assessed properties.

The town is projecting revenues of $4,985,563 for 2019 down slightly from $5,077,997 budgetted in 2018. Against this are expenses of $5,935,927 projected for 2019 against the 2018 budget of $5,917,597.

In the budget package council received, 49 per cent of the town’s finances come from taxes, with 23 per cent coming from utilities and town operations. Grants make up 18 per cent of

the revenues received while six per cent and four percent are collected from other sources and franchise fees.

Public works takes up the lions share of expenses eating up 48 per cent of the money budgeted, while recreation takes a further 16 per cent.

Administration costs takes 13 per cent of the expenses and school taxes amount to 12 per cent.

Council and fire take seven and four percent respectively.

Wages make up the largest part of the expenditures at 21 per cent with capital projects measuring in with 20 per cent of the expenses.

In preparing the package, the budget preamble stated, “town development, sidewalks, and

roads are priorities and those have been considered in the budget.”

To that end, topping the list of capital projects for 2019 is the Edna Subdivision roads, which will see improvements on 46 St., 57 Ave., and 55 Ave. totaling $772,200.

The next largest capital expense will be an arena chiller and condenser at a cost of $206,000.

Storm water improvements, annexed road maintenance, tree trimming under streetlight, storm sewer contracted services, a new one-ton sander with wireless remote and a mobile power plant and new diesel generator will bring the total of capital projects proposed for next year at $1,072.200.

Stephen Hill becomes new CAO for Lamont County

BY JOHN MATHER Stephen Hill, the acting Chief Administrative Officer in Lamont County since the abrupt departure of CAO Robyn Singleton in August, has moved into the permanent chair.

“Welcome aboard as the Chief Administrative Officer,” said Reeve David Diduck.

“As our acting CAO you did an awesome job and we decided to carry it forward.

“Based on your past experience, education and personal contacts, that has resulted in some other hires such as Alan Grayston and Chris Valaire, we’re on the start of having a great team going forward.”

Hill also has brought

Roberta Malysh on board as acting chief financial

CAO Stephen Hill

officer.”

The new CAO has worked at the County since 2015 when he was named the Director of Planning and

Development and Community Services.

Hill’s appointment, made official at the Dec. 13 council meeting, was retroactive to November 1.

Prior to joining the County, Hill worked at Opus Stewart Weir where he was involved in the management of the municipal engineering department.

He also worked for several years in the Planning and Development area at Sturgeon County.

Also joining the County’s management team in recent weeks have been Chris Valaire, named the Director of Public Works, and more recently Alan Grayston who moves into Hill’s old position as the

Opinion Alberta, USA? Country of Alberta?

It’s been a long time since there has been separatist talk in Alberta, and maybe it just takes a Trudeau to ignite it, but it is a clear and present danger as we end 2018.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s blatant favouritism of Quebec, BC and Ontario (not coincidentally Canada’s largest populations), has left Albertans out in the cold and has exhumed hidden resentment from the days of Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed fighting Daddy Trudeau’s National Energy Program.

Now, more than for decades, Albertans are talking about a 51st state in America. They say if we can’t get a pipeline built for our oil sands in Canada, how long would it be before the USA piped the enormous supply if we became a state of their union?

Others want Alberta to be its own country, with our own rules. Many say Canada is shoving Alberta right out of the country with its anti-oil policies and equalization payments mostly all to Quebec. This year alone, Alberta taxpayers will contribute almost $2 billion in transfer payments just to Quebec and that portion is only part of nearly $20 billion leaving Alberta for the Canada Health Transfer, Canada Social Transfer and federal benefit programs such as Employment Insurance, Old Age Security and the Canada Pension Plan.

Even with our poor economy of late, Alberta still outproduces every province in this country per capita.

Alberta produces a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) worth over $325 billion each year by only 4.3 million people. That is only $50 billion short of what Quebec produces with double the population.

In fact Albertans produce a GDP of almost $76,000 per capita, by far the greatest in the land. Here’s how well the lesser provinces do: Saskatchewan $68,000; Ontario $53,000; BC $52,000; Manitoba $49,000; Quebec $44,000. The rest are below that even.

Former Wildrose Party leader Danielle Smith is now part of the separatist talk, as is former Dragon’s Den regular and business tycoon Brett Wilson from Calgary (though he calls it Alberta nationalism).

“If we can’t get the respect and the deal we need to be part of Canada there’s a lot of Albertans saying: Why are we here? And I’m one of those questioning. Right now Alberta ain’t gettin’ no respect. I’m tired of being pushed.

Some days independence does feel better.” Wilson says those in charge in Ottawa are “pushing Alberta and Saskatchewan out of Confederation.”

I think Alberta will get the government “correction” it needs this coming spring. But if Justin Trudeau is reelected in 2019 by his voting block of 28 million Canadians from BC, Ontario and Quebec it is very possible that Alberta does not survive as a province of Canada until 2024.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Taxpayers Federation calls for Alberta Government to cut spending Today, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), called on the Alberta government to cut spending, in light of its second quarter fiscal and economic update.

“The Alberta government desperately needs to get its fiscal house in order,” said Franco Terrazzano, Alberta Director with the CTF. “Overspending is what got the government into its fiscal mess and cutting spending is what’s needed to get the government out of this mess.”

The Alberta government’s second quarter fiscal update forecasts a 2018 budget deficit of $7.5 billion, with the spending forecast increasing by $436

million compared to the original budget. The Alberta government's debt is currently increasing by over $1 million every hour, with the average Albertan owing over $11,000 in provincial government debt alone.

The Alberta government’s

2018 budget relies on long term optimistic assumptions to balance the books by 2023: Economic growth that is higher than private sector forecasts every year throughout the years 2018-21 (see page 117)

174 per cent increase in nonrenewable resource revenue (see page 86) Housing starts that are higher than private sector forecasts (see page 120) An unemployment rate that is lower than private sector forecasts in all but one year (see page 119) “Unlike many households and businesses that have had to tighten their belts during the downturn, the government seems unwilling to cut its own spending and is instead spending more,” continued Terrazzano.

“The Alberta government is hoping for a boom to balance the books.”

Numbers keep increasing at Food Bank MAUREEN SULLIVAN It's the time of year again when people count their blessings and think of those who are less fortunate.

While people have been generously supporting the food bank this month, the numbers of families needing to use the food bank has increased this month as well.

This is likely because outdoor jobs are ending and layoffs are happening and also because school fees had to be paid, according to

Collette McBride of the food bank.

While food donations are always happily accepted, cash is needed to buy items that do not get donated.

Items like personal care products, baby items, detergent and meat has to be bought as per Canada Health guidelines.

There is a large demand for teen ten packs of toiletries for girls and boys, consisting of things like deodorant, shampoo, body wash, disposable razors, tooth-

paste, toothbrushes, gum, make up, makeup remover, acne wash etc.

Throughout the county, local businesses, schools, fire departments and town offices have generously been collecting for the food bank and taking wishes off the giving tree.

While the Christmas Hampers were distributed during the past weekend anyone still wishing to contribute to the food bank can do so until Dec. 20. The food bank closes then and will reopen on Jan. 8.

The Lamont and Chipman fire departments were on hand to deliver the Christmas food hampers and gifts this Christmas season.

Ag. Service Board making changes for the future MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Lamont County Weed and Control Act will be reviewed in 2019, it was decided at the Agricultural Service Board meeting, Dec. 12.

Many of the county gardens have noxious or prohibited weeds in them that were ornamentals, before they were later classified as noxious. If landowners have these weeds in the garden they are notified, then they must control or remove the weeds.

A change in policy concerning Yard Site Beautification Awards is the addition of a criteria stating that there should be limited noxious species and no prohibited noxious species in the garden as listed under the Weed Control Act. The County also plans to team up with Cows and Fish in 2019 to host a Beavers in the Landscape Workshop in late March or early April.

Discussion was held with both Cows and Fish and the NSWA (North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance) to start creating initiatives for the protection, education and rehabilitation of watersheds in Lamont County.

Future workshop ideas for 2019, 2020, and 2021 may include Riparian Enhancement, Riparian Health and Riparian 101.

In the next year Lamont County will be looking for landowners who would like to work with them and NSWA and Cows and Fish to restore and enhance a length of watershed in the municipality. The plan is to create awareness and projects that will enhance and protect the watershed and create awareness of long term impacts of protection of the watershed.

The county will be reminding the public to be respectful of unharvested fields in the county especially with ATVs and snowmobiles.

“Be aware that anyone who enters land that is under cultivation, such as farmers fields is guilty

of trespassing and could be fined up to $2,000 for the first offence and $5,000 for the second offence. This includes the operation of snowmobiles in farmers fields without permission."

Discussion of county right of ways was spirited, with items discussed including: creating a master plan to bring all county right of ways under control of the county which may include changes to ditches, summer mowing and spraying; road construction and maintenance; and hay permits.

Also discussed was the protection of the county waterways. An amendment was made to policy 6054 regulating hay permits for County right of ways. Farmers will need a permit that is valid for one year to cut

hay that is only adjacent to their property.

The county will be applying for government funding in the 2019 year for various programs

that may include surveillance of clubfoot, pathogen testing in crops, hiring an intern, and running community education programs.

Keeping the Christmas charm Many of us bemoan the fact that Christmas is so commercialized today.

I’m afraid this is here to stay as that is our way of life.

What can we do to make Christmas a little more meaningful in a world which seems to be constantly changing?

One way, I think, is to observe and develop little ‘traditions’ in your Christmas festivities.

We people tend to obtain pleasure and security from looking back on memories of years gone by and repeating certain actions on special times such as Christmas.

Activities such as trimming the tree, midnight Mass, family carol singing and even finishing Christmas dinner with plum pudding make Christmas just that little more enjoyable.

In our busy way of life today we are often tempted to not bother carrying out these little observances and in doing so Christmas seems to lose a little charm.

Keep the charm in Christmas.

May the spirit of Christmas bring you P E A C E The gladness of christmas give you H O P E and the warmth of Christmas grant you L O V E Merry Christmas to all

Through the years letters always seem to get to Santa LESLIE CHOLOWSKY The term Santa letters once meant letters children received from old Saint Nick.

Parents used letters from Santa to mildly admonish their children for some of the things they did over the year, or for actions that the parent wished to change.

In 1851, Fanny Longfellow, who was married to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, wrote to her son Charley, “I am sorry I sometimes hear you are not so kind to your little brother as I wish you were,” she wrote.

Author J.R.R. Tolkein, who created The Hobbit, left his children illustrated updates about ‘Father Christmas’ and life at the North Pole that included adventures and characters of gnomes, snow

elves, and even polar bears. Tolkein even drew his own stamps and post marks, disguising his handwriting.

Those illustrations and letters have been bound and published under the title Letters from Father Christmas.

Just a few decades letter, children’s letters to Santa started appearing in local newspapers.

When children did start writing to Santa, there was no way to send the letters, so children started devising their own delivery methods.

Kids in North America would leave them by the fireplace, where they would mysteriously disappear, as they travelled up the chimney to Santa.

Scottish children were reported to recite their wish lists up the chimney directly, and in Latin

America, children attached their lists to balloons.

No one thought of mailing Santa letters, however, because they would just end up in the Post Office’s Dead Letter Office, and though many offered to help Santa write the children back, it was against the law to do so.

It wasn’t until the early 1960s that some charities formed to help children’s wishes to Santa come true, and to ensure that he received their wish lists.

Depending on where they lived in the world, some lucky children would receive a post card reply from Santa, as apparently some countries were more efficient at delivering mail sent to the jolly old elf.

Of course, in Canada,

letters to Santa are addressed to the North Pole, which even has its own postal code H0H 0H0.

In the 34 years it has existed, the Canada Post Santa Letter Delivery Program has averaged one million letters a year.

In December 2015, an assistant archivist with the British Postal Museum, Ashley March, gave a talk about the history of letters to Santa, ending with this quote: “All the innovations of modern civilization have utterly failed to dispel from the childish mind the belief in Santa Claus.

“He lives and flourishes in a material and severly scientific age in which he should regard himself as a discredited anachronism.”

Oddly enough, the quote came from 1898.

That book was eventually translated to a television show based on the editorial.

Virginia kept her letter, which was given back by the paper, and gave it to one of her granddaughters. The letter actually appeared on the popular show ‘Antiques Roadshow,’ in 1998, where it was authenticated, then appraised at a value between $20,000

and $30,000.

O’Hanlon apparently received letters from others about her letter for her entire life, and she always included a copy of the editorial reply when she responded.

When interviewed later in life, she said she felt the writing of the letter and its response had a very positive impact on her life.

CH RISTMAS T Y O ALL ... ... MANY RR

E

One of the paper’s editors at the time was Francis Church. Church was a war correspondent during America’s Civil War, and had seen much suffering, both on and off the battlefield.

Considering that, you might think he would slough the letter off as childish and unworthy of a reply, but he took it very seriously, and his reply has become one of the most beloved editorials of all time, perhaps the most.

His response answered the question from a very philosophical point of view, and answered the question, unequivicably, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

That letter and editorial may have been lost to time had not a group of people, at the time of Virginia’s death in 1971, decided to create a picture book for children that illustrated the editorial and its main characters.

THANKS TO YOU, OUR NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS, AND BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR !

AM

Leslie Cholowsky You may have heard the phrase, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” but are you aware of what that is from?

In the year 1897 an eight-year-old girl by the name of Virgina O’Hanlon, asked her father if Santa Claus was real, because some of her friends tried to tell her he was not.

He suggested that if she wanted the truth, she should write a letter to the editor of The [New York] Sun, telling Virginia, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.”

Following his advice, she did write this letter: “Dear Editor: I am eight years old.

“Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.

“Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.”

“Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

“Virginia O’Hanlon.”

Lamont Elementary was up to Snow Good CRYSTAL INVERARITY The night was filled with carolling, Dec. 13 as Lamont Elementary presented their Christmas pageant "Up to Snow Good."

Each class learned about traditional Christmas carols and favourite Christmas songs from long ago while preparing for the concert.

The school choir opened the concert with Ukrainian Carols and English Carols. Each

grade then sang two songs with favourites like "Jolly, Jolly Santa", "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth", "Silver Bells", and "I'm Gettin Nuttin for Christmas."

The concert ended with a crowd pleasing, "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” sung by the whole school.

The grade six students worked very hard behind the scenes, performing and speaking in

the concert, and Ms. Watson gets a special recognition.

The Parent Council raffled off four VIP seats for the concert and did a collection, raising $178 for the food bank.

As well the students and staff also had a Grinch for Good Food and toy drive donating 415 kgs of food and many toys, mittens and other warm winter wear!

CHAMBER HOLIDAY CHEER Members of the Lamont and District Chamber of Commerce gathered at Lamont Boarding Kennels Dec. 3 to celebrate the holiday season with a little grog and snacks.

The Grinch found the meaning of Christmas at Andrew School MAUREEN SULLIVAN The annual school Christmas presentation, Dec. 13, at Andrew was ‘The Grinch.’ Eight students, one narrator and the Grinch took turns reciting lines from “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” while the remaining students sat in front of the stage and as Who"s from Whoville sang a variety of Christmas songs.

Mrs. Shulko directed the elementary students and the Jr. High students helped with props and decorations.

There were door prizes and several raffles as well as a 50/50 put on by

Shopping at the Andrew School Christmas Store.

the Parent Council. Santa Claus made a visit following the play to hear the wishes from the children.

On Dec. 10, Andrew School had its 12th annual Christmas Store. The store was started by the parent council for the students of Andrew School to go shopping for their parents, siblings, other family members, and friends.

The first store had items to purchase from donations and homemade crafts ranging in

Merry Christmas to you & yours,

price from 50 cents - $2.

The parent council was fortunate to have the Coop graciously donate lunch bags for students to decorate as an art project to take their gifts home in that first year.

Now the Christmas store is still booming with some cool items for students to purchase with nothing costing more than $5. Run by parent volunteers, it is not a fundraiser, just an

opportunity for students to do Christmas shopping for their loved ones.

As the Grinch say's "Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more!"

3000 feet up the side of Mt. Crumpett goes the Grinch with a sleigh full of toys.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column, and box. Each number can only appear once in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Thank You

The grand opening of the new Petro Canada in the town of Lamont was Dec. 17. Mayor Bill Skinner (back centre) was on hand to welcome the business along with members of the LKS Group who built, own and operate the new store.

Bruderheim Novice 1st loss JOHN MATHER It took several games but the Bruderheim Tier 4 Novice squad has suffered a defeat.

The team dropped a 31 decision to Fort Saskatchewan in Bruderheim, Dec. 16.

Maxim Dach scored the lone Bruderheim goal from Carter Winslow late in the first period.

Fort Saskatchewan opened the scoring midway through the first

frame when Carson Rocque found the back of the net unassisted.

Matteo NaranjoAnthony tickled the twine in both the second and third periods to round out the Fort scoring. Lukas Manchakowski and Jaxson Sherbinin had assists.

Hunter Cooper picked up the Fort win in goal stopping 14 shots, while Thomas Purdy faced 16 shots in the Bruderheim net.

The past 6 months have been an extremely difficult time in my life; I’ve had to deal with things I never could have imagined – the loss of my husband – my friend. Without my family, friends and neighbors for emotional support – continuous visits phone calls and flowers, I could not have done it without all of you.

I Thank You All from the bottom of my Heart – I can never Thank You All Enough!

I would like to wish everyone a happy - healthy Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2019.

You left so suddenly 6 months ago; I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye and tell you how very much I loved you. They say it gets easier with time as the days and months pass, I beg to differ; as time passes I miss you more and would give anything to hear your voice and have you walk back through those doors.

You were my best friend, love of my life, my soulmate, the person who never judged me and loved me for who I am.

You were so thoughtful and sweet, and whether it was my birthday, Valentine’s Day, anniversary or just because, a special bouquet of flowers would arrive, always including one yellow rose signifying we were best friends and one red rose signifying our love for each other.

Christmas is fast approaching, and it will never be the same; but I will forever hold close to my heart all the special memories we made together with family, friends and neighbors gathered around our table.

Your love and memory will live on inside of me forever – you will never be forgotten.

Take care my dear, as not a day goes by that I do not think of you and miss you immensely.

With Love Forever, Your Wife, Marline

Food Bank wrapping up 2018 COLETTE MCBRIDE Board Chair, County of Lamont Food Bank Hunger happens year round so it's been very rewarding to receive support all year, not just at Christmas.

A special program for the Food Bank is the Annual Christmas Hamper. This year the distribution was done on Sunday, December 16.

We prepared 72 hampers that provide meals on Christmas Day to 206 people. Of those, 71 are children and they get gifts as well. In addition we provided small gifts for seniors and single parents.

Mary Immaculate Auxiliary in Mundare helped, as did, Lamont Peewee Hawks, Chipman 4-H Beef & Multi Club, Lamont Fire Department, Chipman Fire Department and all the other wonderful people that gave of their time.

This year we have been keeping better track of the volunteer efforts that keep us going. (We have no paid staff.) We are currently averaging at least 150 volunteer hours per month. These volunteer hours cover things like hamper preparation and distribution every Thursday morning, picking up and sorting donations, as well as doing necessary grocery shopping.

In an effort to increase awareness surrounding food insecurity and the need for donations year round, we started the 'Fall Haul' where we

challenged communities in the county to out-do each other with donations. Bruderheim won that one. Watch for our next challenge – the 'Spring Bring'. And it doesn't have to be just a community challenging another community. It can be businesses challenging each other, families against families, and so on.

Based on the statistics we have (to the end of November) it's looking like our overall number of hampers given out for 2018 will be down slightly from last year. A disturbing statistic though is that 35% of the people we serve are children (even though they account for only 20% of the national population) and this number has not changed from last year.

As you will have heard in the news recently food prices are forecasted to increase up to 3.5% across all food categories in 2019 with vegetables being predicted to see the highest cost increase (4%-6%). With many families already making the tough choices about whether to spend money on housing or food, this is not good news for those living close to or below the poverty line.

We therefore expect that the need for the County of Lamont Food Bank will not diminish in 2019 and hope that you will continue to support us as we help the residents of Lamont County that need us.
