New outdoor ice rink slated for Lamont BY JANA SEMENIUK The town of Lamont will open a new outdoor ice-skating surface in Hillside Park. Councillor Dave Taylor proposed the idea during the Feb. 9 council meeting in response to the closing of the arena due to province-wide restrictions on sporting events due to COVID. Taylor explained why an outdoor skating surface wasn’t created before now. “As you know, I pitched the idea of an outdoor skating surface before, but with the indoor arena option, it didn’t make sense because we had lots of room for public skating and shinny,” he said. Taylor went on to describe why the idea makes sense now. “But now, with COVID, our ice has been taken out, and we have kids skating on stormwater ponds, so it made sense that we provide some very accessible outdoor recreation for kids and the general public,” he said. Taylor then made his proposition. “I propose a space near the picnic
A new outdoor ice skating path is being created in Lamont’s Hillside Park after Councillor Dave Taylor made the suggestion during the Feb. 9 council meeting. The surface won’t be ready to accommodate skaters for at least two weeks. pavilion where there’s a fire hydrant for very handy water access,” he said. “We can put in a snowbank skating path like a lot of other municipalities have.” “I suggested it to parks and recreation, and they were in favour,” he said. “The recommendation from the committee was that a temporary out-
door ice skating surface be created.” Councillor Perry Koroluk was interested in how the town would be responsible. “What would the implications be for the town as far as the safety? Does someone need to be there monitoring it?” he asked. Taylor explained that the surface
would be comparable to the playground in terms of town responsibility. “The proposition would include staff time to flood and monitor the ice. We’ve talked to the fire dept. as well, and in the end, it becomes like a playground,” he said. “The users are also your reporters. If something is not safe, they need to report it to the town, and then when our staff can see to it, they will.” In terms of how quickly staff could create the ice, Director of Operations and Infrastructure, Tyler Edworthy, said the process could be done within approximately two weeks. Mayor Bill Skinner was happy with the suggestion of creating the outdoor ice and appreciative of Councillor Taylor. “We are fortunate to have Councillor Taylor on board who has a lot of experience in this area and brings a wealth of knowledge,” he said. The council unanimously approved the suggestion during the Feb. 9 council meeting.
County Council wants additional seat on Emergency Response committee BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County council debated the proposed Regional Emergency Management Bylaw for some time Feb. 9, before deciding to hold off on its acceptance, thinking they need more representation on the Regional Emergency Management Committee that would be established through the bylaw. The bylaw had already been accepted by several smaller municipalities in the County. Regional Fire Chief Shayne Milliken presented the revised bylaw. In 2018 it had first been developed to form a regional emergency management partnership with Lamont, Mundare, Andrew and Chipman, he said. “It was adapted by all the municipalities, but it had to be approved by the department of Municipal Affairs prior to the partnership actually starting,” he
said. “In June 2020 the department refused to approve the agreement citing clarity in several parts of the agreement.” He said work began to fix the areas in question and in Nov. 2020 a review took place and all parties were satisfied and all municipalities had indicated their support for the revised bylaw. Milliken told council there was a summary of the changes made and wondered if council had any questions regarding them. “Essentially Lamont County is equal to the Village of Chipman is that right?” asked Reeve David Diduck. “I’m not sure I want to get involved in another commission where we have the bulk of the assets but still only have an equal voice.” He also asked about declaring a state of local emergency. “Is Lamont County Council, as the local authority, handing over the abili-
ty to declare a local state of emergency to the committee or to you.” Milliken said the committee would be responsible for declaring a local state of emergency as outlined by the Emergency Management Act, but the state of local emergency would generally be recommended by the regional director of emergency management, whoever was appointed to fill that role. Milliken said the municipalities still had powers to take action as required under the Municipal Government Act. Using a recent water main break in Lamont as an example, Diduck asked if a state of emergency had to be declared for that, would it be the Town of Lamont or the regional committee making the decision to declare? Milliken said it would be the committee’s responsibility. Milliken pointed out the county had started the move to the regional agreement and the other municipalities had
signed on. Councillor Wayne Woldanski then wondered if the County could have an additional member on the committee. Woldanski said his reasoning was based on the fact the County was the largest contributor of resources to the emergency management committee and he felt maybe they could explore having an additional seat. Milliken said it hadn’t been discussed in the original agreement and the other municipalities wouldn’t be aware of this suggestion but it might be do-able via the bylaw’s terms of reference. Milliken added the Regional Emergency Committee was only elected officials and other guests could be CAOs. He added the Emergency Management Agency consisted of the “boots on the ground” staff.

Portable Air Monitoring Station bound for Lamont BY JANA SEMENIUK The Fort Air Partnership, a non-profit organization monitoring the air we breathe since 1997, wants to place a portable air monitoring station within the town of Lamont by this spring. Nadine Blaney, executive director for FAP, brought the possibility forward in a presentation during the Feb. 9 online council meeting. “Currently, we monitor approximately 4,500 square kilometres, including about half of Lamont County,” said Blaney. “The current Lamont County station is located about six kilometres west of Lamont. We are looking at replacing that station and possibly relocating it into the town of Lamont.” Blaney explained that stations work best where people live. “We would like to do this to continue to monitor the air in populated
areas,” she said. Blaney explained the differences between a permanent and a portable station “A continuous station is a trailer that houses analyzers providing realtime data,” she said. “The portable one is a much simpler device. Filters with a metal hood. The air passes through and deposits the substance of interest on the filters which are collected monthly and sent to a lab.” Blaney added that the data collected is instrumental in making decisions. “The government uses the data to calculate the Air Quality Health Index, which helps to make decisions on managing air quality,” she said. “The AQHI measures substances known to affect health such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide.” Blaney explained the
LET’S MAKE
scale of the AQHI. “It ranges from one to 10, with one being the lowest risk and 10 being the highest,” she said. Blaney included that the past year’s air quality data showed a very low risk for the population. “Because we didn’t have a lot of wildfires in BC or Alberta this past summer, we didn’t have a very high risk according to our AQHI,” she said. Two possible town sites for the station were discussed, including the old tennis courts by the arena and the water reservoir. Councillor Perry Koroluk had concerns about the responsibility of the potential site. “What would the obligations be from the town?” he asked. Blaney indicated FAP would be responsible for the site. “Just the site,” she said. “FAP will take care
The portable air monitoring station of the Fort Air Partnership was moved from Chipman last June to a new location in Sturgeon County. At a recent Lamont Council meeting council and FAP executive director Nadine Blaney discussed moving it to Lamont this year. of any maintenance or grass cutting around the site.” Councillor Al Harvey wondered if the portable station could turn into a permanent one. Blaney responded with a yes. “Data collected after 12 months will be looked at by the government. If it meets their requirements for monitoring data, it’s quite likely we could get a permanent station moved to the town of Lamont,” she said.
Mayor Bill Skinner stressed the importance of the work being done by FAP. “This is an organization that has been providing valuable informa-
tion for a number of years,” he said. The council accepted the presentation as information and will be discussing a decision at a future council meeting.

Opinion U.S. Democrats should stop promoting Trump BY JOHN MATHER I’m amazed by the politics south of the border. For four years the PR machine of the Democratic Party, otherwise known as CNN, castigated Donald Trump. He could do nothing right. Now, Trump was a piece of work. While he accomplished some progressive legislation, when he opened his mouth he alienated thousands and with his Twittering fingers he alienated even more. Nope, CNN wanted him out of government. To a lesser degree, but also wanting him out as the president were most other mainstream media outlets. By the second week of November 2020 the deed was done and Trump was out. All hail Joe Biden. The new 78-year-old saviour of the Republic. So where is he now? I don’t know. I’ve been watching as the Democrats rush around the U.S. Capital building trying to hang Trump in their second impeachment trial. And again he was acquitted. Did Trump do stupid things after the election. Absolutely. He refused to accept defeat. He wouldn’t acknowledge Biden’s win. And Trump appealed to certain extremists. The types that were represented at Ruby Ridge, or Waco. Before Donald Trump came along. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, would have been a Trump supporter. The extreme right in the U.S. liked Trump and he worked to get them to support him. Just like the Democrats used the BLM and Antifa left wing extremists who were burning cities through the summer of 2020 to support them. And the Democrats won. Donald Trump, if you leave him alone, will disappear into his golf course at Mar-a-Lago. He has been discarded by the majority of the American voters and if left alone, taken out of the spotlight, will be forgotten and be a footnote in the dumpster of political failures. So why are the Demos pushing this second impeachment trial? Well they put on great dramatic theatre in their speeches. “They attacked us under orders from Donald Trump,” they bleat. “They attacked the capital of the United States,” they whine. Continued
CONTINUED Last time I looked, the U.S. had the most armed security forces in the free world and everyone knew things were going to get hot at the Capital when the vote certification began. They had been warned. It was all over social media. Where was Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the supposedly impartial leader who has control over the Capital police and could have shored up the walls prior to Jan.6. Yet she remained mute. Quiet as a mouse in fact, which should have been taken as a warning
since that is not her usual state. When rioters were inside the Capital, did the Demmies say they used their cellphones to call for additional police or security. No, they said, they cowered under their desks. So, while these same Demmies are castigating Trump, who will never get a second chance, they are keeping his fires burning by giving him all this attention. And Trump couldn’t pay for the amount of PR he’s getting. Where’s Biden? No one has heard from him and he’s not a big name
president and it’s early in his term. His party should be building him up, promoting him, hailing his every move and achievement. But no, they keep giving Trump all the headlines. Trump is probably chortling his sides out as he plays another round and shaves five or six strokes off his final score. Silly Democrats! And Biden claims to want unity. That won’t happen with people like Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and Pelosi holding power in the Capital. They are bitter, despicable people.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Mixed Bag
BY HAZEL ANAKA This will be another of those mixed bag collections of thoughts, topics, reminders that hopefully add a speck of value to your week in one way or the other. • In last week’s column I mentioned the Vegreville Cares Coalition Zoom session called Our Nature to Nurture presentation featuring Lesley Kelly. For early registrants who also received the DIY craft kit (a metal lantern!) and the pamper gift bag, the decision to pluck down $10 was a nobrainer. And if you won one of the 35 draw prizes, you were indeed lucky. That aside, the content about farmers and mental health was an eye-opener to the extent of the problem. There is far too much material to capture or even summarize here. But I’ll try. Whether you or someone you care about is the one suffering, Kelly offered 5 steps to remember. 1) Mental health is different for each of us (and not a competition…my issues are bigger or trivial in comparison to yours). 2) Say what you see (if you notice a problem, gently say something). 3) Show you care (through kindness, empathy, compassion). 4) Listen (easier said than done for most of us). 5) Your role (what will you do to help). Speaking of easier to say than do, she left us with 3 action steps: Talk more. Ask more. Listen more. Lives and quality of life are at stake. • Despite my misgivings about Amazon, I broke down and placed an order. Twice. These are items not available to me in any other way. Still hate to see it’s like a cult to many but maybe now at least I understand. • Teflon Man (at least for now) aka Donald Trump has been acquitted for the second time because not enough
Republican members have spines and/or testicles. The only consolation to this process is that for now and forever, there will be a public record of the most incriminating video footage and comments by leaders. Apparently, privately some Republicans said they agreed with the Dems but feared the threats and reprisals of constituents and others. True or a convenient excuse? As always, actions speak louder than words. For those desiring that he pay, in some way, for the chaos and havoc his presidency cost Americans and the world, there is new faint hope to cling to. That criminal conviction is coming through the court system most likely because of financial crimes. • I’m writing this on February 14th. Like all celebratory events in the past year, this one is being done differently or getting lost entirely in the angst. Getting showered with chocolate, flowers, gold and gemstones is not in the cards… at least at the Anaka household. Tonight, we’ll eat leftovers. Is it sad? Perhaps, but clearly not the end of the world. We have the maturity and wisdom to
know this is not the worst thing that can befall a family. Death, a critical diagnosis, job loss, poverty spring to mind. Again, we remind ourselves we are blessed. • Speaking of the pandemic… because have we spoken of much else since last March. What are you doing more of? Less of? Some people, since Covid-19 became part of our vocabulary, have been baking up a storm. Hilary said she’s baked more in the last year than in her whole life. Part of the credit goes to the avocado green GE Mixmaster circa 1973 that I gave her. Two bowls, removable beaters, and more horsepower than any handheld mixer has made all the difference in the world. Many of her friends do front-door drop-offs of baked goods, entrees, and other care package swaps. When our family gathered in October for the Orthodox custom of a 40day service following a funeral, Hilary shared 12 quiches with family out of her RDX hatchback. Not only am I always struck by her generosity and thoughtfulness, I’m inspired by anyone who can make one quiche, never mind a kitchen full.

H u gs, d ea r fr ie nds, h ugs
For my part, I’ve done more sewing and crafting in the last year than in the 20 years since we sold our craft and flower shop after 16 years of operation. I’m in my happy place. Anyone who attended our housewarming party would not recognize my office area or the productivity it has wrought. If visiting is ever allowed again, this will be a No Admittance area. I continue to rearrange and reorganize to improve work zone flow. If I could wish anything for you, it would be to find some activity that so consumes you that time flies and contentment ensues.
On that note, I’ll conclude for another week. My heart bleeds for farmers who are trying to feed, bed, and calve
out a herd. Seek mental health help if you need it. Have a safe and considerably warmer week, from where I sit.

RCMP seize weapons near Lamont BY JOHN MATHER Two Hills RCMP have been busy in the past couple of months in Lamont County. On Feb. 1, police executed a search warrant at a rural Lamont property. The search resulted in the seizure of five firearms, two have been confirmed as stolen from Vermilion, and Donalda. Police also seized a side-by-side quad which was reported stolen from West Cove, AB. in April 2020, and what is suspected to be cocaine and methamphetamine and several cartons of cigarettes. Police also located printing equipment and believe firearms licences were being manufactured at the location. Charges are pending and the investigation is continuing. Meanwhile in December, police began investigating a fraud complaint involving shipping containers. It had been alleged several C-cans were bought using stolen credit cards and then they were re-sold to a third party. On Feb. 2, Two Hills RCMP executed a search warrant on a property near Mundare. During the search warrant police seized six Ccans that had been purchased by stolen credit cards and sold. In addition, police have located another three C-cans that were purchased and sold fraudulently. The total value of the containers was valued at over $25,000. Charges are pending and the investigation is continuing. The Two Hills RCMP

McEwen’s to Expand Lamont Operations For almost 40 years, McEwen’s Fuels and Fertilizers has provided Farm Inputs and Agronomic Services in the Lamont area, but now, with some modifications to the facility structure and a new hire, the company is poised to branch out further to serve customers across Lamont County. Mike Gaumont, Vice President of Operations for McEwen’s, explains. “We just want people to be aware that we’re investing in the area - in the plant, facility and manpower. We’ve done some renovations, and because the fertilizer tower came
down, we want people to be aware if was for improvement purposes.” McEwen’s is a pick up facility for seed and fertilizer, he adds. There is no chemical storage but the company does offer chemical supply but mostly delivered direct to farmyard. “We’re rebuilding the blending systems here and modernizing it to handle newer product mixes and improving the speed and capacity,” said Gaumont. The Lamont operation has two employees. Chad Koziak has been with the company since graduating from Vermilion College, and farms with his family in the county. Mike Pewarchuk, a Territory Sales
Agronomist, has recently been hired to help in the sales role in the Eastern end of the county. “For us, it’s a double opportunity to invest in the site and grow our sales opportunities around the area to support the growers.” Mike Pewarchuk is excited to get out and greet new customers from McEwen’s Lamont location. “I’ve been an agronomist for 28 years,” states Mike. “I worked for Imperial Oil and Cargill. I’ve only had three jobs, but they’ve all been in agriculture.” My dad was born and raised in Chipman, and we still have a farm in the area. “It’s great being back in the area and being to help out the producers in the area because I’m familiar with the land.” Gaumont said the first stage of the expansion is the outload fertilizer blending plant that should be completed by April. Stage two in the next year to year and a half will see the addition of chemical storage and office rebuilding. He added there would be some office retail but it is mainly a dry fertilizer pick up plant. “We will be offering more services over the next few years.” The Lamont location is situated between McEwen locations in Smoky Lake and Fort Saskatchewan, which help support the Lamont area as well. “We’re very heavy into anhydrous ammonia,” said Gaumont. “Which is delivered to the field product and it traditionally has come from either of those locations.” McEwen’s has also added another Anhydrous Ammonia storage site for the area just East of Andrew, which will help strengthen their seasonal delivery abilities in the county. He said product delivery from Lamont is really farm specific with some clients having the ability to come and pick up product or otherwise McEwen’s has trucks to deliver it to the farm site. “We can also help with custom application.” Gaumont admits farming has been a tough business to be in for the past few years. “With the amount of excess moisture
in the past few years, this location has been affected more than others in our eight location chain, but he adds last fall turned out to be good for the Lamont area and farmers got their crops off the fields and were able to prep them for spring planting. “ I think, on paper, farm profitability looks better thatn it has for a number of years,” he said. “Right until the end of August if was super, super wet and we were getting nervous about the 2021 season,” he said. “Luckily, in September and October, the moisture did dry up so if we have a relatively dry spring, I think we’ll be okay.” “We’re pretty excited about what we’re doing in Lamont,” he said. “Mike with his experience, is a positive addition.” Mike Pewarchuk says, “He is optimistic this year is going to be good. It’s the first time in many years where I don’t have to get crop off the field in spring.” “We don’t have a lot of snow, touch wood, but farmers are optimistic and prices are looking good right now. I think it’s their turn to make some money. “I’m looking forward, not backwards. And any agronomy questions our customers have, then I’m here to answer and help them.” Gaumont said McEwen’s offers soil testing and analysis, explains what the best seed varieties are, and offers complete agronomics packages. Gaumont also points out as hemp gets a foothold in the area, McEwen’s offers advice for farmers moving into this field. “We think it’s a good option for growers to break up rotation. We do need to get an end selling use for this product, so it’s good that investments are being made in a facility nearby.” “I believe hemp is a crop we can put into rotation to break up disease cycles.” He added wheat. canola and barley are the main crops in this area. “We want to sell to growers and build relationships over 20 years. We want to provide advise and products on how to change rotations and provide more long term sustainability. After all, if they’re not sustainable then neither are we.”

County Continued from Front Councillor Neil Woitas wondered if there were equal votes on the committee, if the other members could gang up on the County to make them pay more once it started setting annual budgets. Milliken said it could be possible, but most of the budgeting was performed by the Emergency Management Agency and it would then be approved by the committee. “The primary focus here is public safety,” said Milliken.”Which is why it’s an equal committee.” Diduck asked if a cost sharing formula could be created as part of the agreement. Milliken said the bylaw doesn’t really account for that, but it could be decided at the committee level. In summing up Diduck said he felt council was being asked to relinquish some of its authority to a committee and “we have to know that if there is an emergency it’s not the committee that covers the cost, but rather the municipality that has the emergency. Milliken added costs incurred by Lamont County would be covered by the municipality in which the emergency occurred. “Everything is recoupable,” said Milliken. “Whether it be accounting personnel to track time and expenses or anything else. That then allows costs to be collected from the province or any other agency.” Councillor Daniel Warawa said he felt the other municipalities were quick to adapt the agreement because “they have nothing to lose, when we have only one vote.” Councillor Roy Anaka wondered what their thoughts would be on the request to have extra County members on the
committee. Councillor Woitas wondered why the bylaw didn’t come to the County prior to going to the towns. “Being a regional bylaw that had essentially already passed and needed only a few changes it was sent to all the municipalities as equal partners,” replied Milliken. He said the new proposed bylaw now complied with all the changes requested by the Municipal Affairs office. When Diduck asked if anyone was prepared to give first reading to the revised bylaw no one did. Diduck pointed out it could receive first and second reading, but it could still be open to getting amendments prior to third reading. Anaka asked if there was a time limit to have the bylaw passed. Milliken said ministerial approval would take about 45 days once adapted by all municipalities which could take them into April or May. He added the committee was technically non functional until the bylaw was passed. Woldanski pointed out if they wanted to change the bylaw then the other communities would have to rescind the bylaw and pass a new one with changes. Milliken said the other municipalities had had no changes to the bylaw when it was sent to them for passage. Milliken pointed out all the changes recom-
mended had come from the Alberta Emergency Management Agency. Hill said if the bylaw didn’t receive first reading it would essentially die. Milliken suggested council must ask whether their issue was with the bylaw or with the partnership agreement itself. He added giving first reading would be OK, but they would have to ask the other municipalities to approve a change to add additional county members. After further discussion it was decided the bylaw would have to be rewritten and then approved by all municipalities. “I think it would be a good thing to put two members on the committee and then we would have additional resources such as yourself committed to the other municipalities,” said Diduck. “My fear is this could go back and it wouldn’t appear to be an equal partnership and it could never get approved.” said Milliken. He said there had never been any discussion of extra County members prior to the Feb. 9 meeting. Council felt it better to address the issue now rather than later and passed a motion asking administration to look into having the county appoint two members to the Regional Emergency Management committee. Passage of the bylaw is on hold.
