Council to send Mayor to Quebec City conference BY JOHN MATHER Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch will attend the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Quebec City from May 30 to June 2. The discussion to send a member to the conference generated quite a bit of discussion before a vote to send one member was taken. CAO Patty Podobororozny pointed out while council didn’t send anyone to the FCM conference in 2018, the previous costs to send a member to an eastern Canadian conference ranged from $3,500 to $4,000 per person. When discussion on the motion to send a person to the conference began councillor Len Falardeau erupted. “Imagine how irate our citizen will feel if we’re spending $4,000 to send someone on a holiday to Quebec City,” he said. “This is ridiculous. We can’t afford it. Our town is not financially strong enough to be sending people to Quebec City for a vacation.” Councillor Wayne Olechow felt the meetings would be beneficial. “We’re saving money at the Alberta Municipal Association conference this year, since it’s in Edmonton. I think this is no different than sending a couple of people to the AUMA conference.” Deputy Mayor Pat Lee said it was about meeting with other municipalities. “You can’t shut yourself off from the rest of the world. It’s a way to engage with other municipalities that may experience similar problems.” She didn’t think the residents would object, “because they know there’s a cost to us working on their behalf.” Councillor George Campbell opposed the expenditure making the point the library was facing a shortfall of just about the same amount as the conference costs. “We had a delegation come from the library and state they’re $5,000 short in their budget, yet we discuss sending someone to FCM and think nothing of leaving their situation behind. I wonder where our priorities are.” Olechow wondered if the monies were in the budget for the trip and Podoborozny explained they were. Mayor Hauch rebutted the comments saying the conferences were not a vacation or holiday. “We get good ideas coming from these confer-
Traffic was slowed down big time on Tuesday and part of Wednesday due to an enormous vessel being moved east on Highway 14, north on Highway 834 into Lamont County and then along Highway 15 west to the Inter Pipeline Heartland Petrochemical Complex on RR 220. The historic super load weighs 820 tonnes and measures 96 metres long – making it about as heavy as eight blue whales, thought to be the largest creature ever on Earth. ences. Our tax-free-for-three program came from listening to some people who had a similar program in Saskatchewan. You also make some good contacts at these.” Councillor Patrick Crawford stated he was glad they were considering only one person. “By having one person represent us … I don’t think that’s a bad idea. We’ll get some good ideas back from it.”
He added the town could send additional delegates to the AUMA conference in Edmonton. Council approved the trip with Councillors Falardeau and Campbell opposing. Campbell said he felt the town should send the top delegate for the town and that would be the mayor. The council agreed that Mayor Hauch should represent Bruderheim at the conference.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Selective and Deliberate
BY HAZEL ANAKA Where has the time gone? Though it was never my intention, I missed the Leader’s last deadline in 2018 and the first one in 2019. The upshot is that I didn’t get to wind up the year; wish you, dear reader a joyous holiday season; or begin the new year with declarations of hope and intention. By way of catch-up, about five days short of six months our addition project was complete. With a caveat. There are a few deficiencies to address and new exterior steps will wait for spring. That meant that we could move the bed from the living room into our new master. We promised Sherry and Jim that’s the last time we’d move that heavy sucker with their help, sheer brute force, and the physics principles Roy employs. Amen. Suffice to say that our bodies (and probably minds) ached from this major, invasive project. Our 10-day trip to visit Greg and family in Colorado for Christmas was, in some ways, just what the doctor ordered. Doing the drive in two days was pushing it and I’m not sure we’d do that again. Hilary and Roy did the driving and I did the coughing. This cough plagued me before, during, and after the trip. Apparently, I’m not alone in having a cough drag on for a couple months or more. Luckily the roads were perfect going down and we outran the forecasted storm for Wyoming and Montana on the way back. It was wonderful seeing our peeps and nice having a vehicle at our disposal. We scored some items for the house
I hadn’t been able to find here. Hilary’s Acura was packed like the Klampett’s old truck when they headed off to Beverly Hills from the Ozark Mountains! Coming home meant digging into the work we’d left behind: unpacking those things we’d lived without for six months, assembling new things, hanging towel bars and drapery rods, and my favourite, zhuzhing (making things attractive). A Whalen closet organizer for the front closet had a twenty-five page (!) instruction manual and took Roy nearly three (intermittent) days to finally finish. For the sake of our marriage, we returned the second kit. A rod and shelf will be just fine, thank you very much. There is still much to do but, in my mind, we’re aiming for a housewarming party in February or March. Deadlines make stuff happen. This house is a
blessing that we will enjoy for years and there is even joy in this hard work. Through all of this, my work on Babas and Borshch took a back seat. I did only what was essential and time-sensitive. With my office largely, setup the way I want it, my productivity is kicking back in. My regret, and hopefully I’ll be forgiven, is that I didn’t do the usual email Christmas greeting from Baba Magda to all the people in my address book. Or Facebook posts for Christmas, New Year’s, and Ukrainian Christmas. I can’t tell you how freeing it’s been to take a break from social media and even email. I can’t help but be mad at Mark Zuckerberg for being such a moneygrubbing sellout and patsy in the Russia/fake news/security breaches of Facebook user’s info. If I could do festival work without Facebook or Twitter, I’d be there in

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, January 9, 2019
Opinion If environmentalists shutter Alberta oil - then what? A great letter is circulating from a fellow in Calgary, asking the “what if” Canadian environmentalists succeeded in shutting down the fourth largest oil reserves in the world - that being Alberta’s oil sands. I will try to point form it, because it is quite lengthy and thorough: • 5% of the world’s oil comes from Canada, which another country would replace in output or else prices would inflate across the globe for both gas and products like plastics made from oil. • Canadians are losing $80 million daily due to no pipeline capacity. • Canada currently imports 56% of its oil, and from that total 61% is US, Saudi Arabia (12%), Azerbaijan (6%), Norway (5%), Nigeria (4%) and others. In those countries, the oil is being extracted and piped or transported to sea and then moved thousands of miles by oil tankers to Canada. This would increase from 56% to 100%, or an extra 650,000 barrels of oil daily from far off lands. • Canadians consume 1.5 million barrels of oil per day. The number is on the rise despite environmental efforts, plus an increased population mostly because of immigration - legal and illegal. • Ironically the environmentalists who want a closure to Canadian oil, simply do not protest in these other countries, many of which have horrendous environmental issues which haven’t been allowed in Canada since the 1980s. • Without pointing out Saudi Arabia’s human rights issues, without a pipeline going from Alberta to the east coast of Canada means everything east of Winnipeg is imported foreign oil travelling thousands of miles by tanker ships as discussed earlier. The amount that would have travelled through the Energy East pipeline is very close to the same amount imported every day (100,000 barrels) from Saudi Arabia.
5038 - 50 Avenue Box 1079, Lamont, AB T0B 2R0 Phone: 780-895-2780 Fax: 780-895-2705 Email: lmtleader@gmail.com Published every Wednesday at Lamont, AB Serving the Communities of Andrew, Bruderheim, Chipman, Hilliard, Lamont, Mundare, RR 4 Tofield, Star and St. Michael
• Had Energy East pipeline gone in, Eastern Canadians would be paying $10 - $15 per barrel less than they are currently paying for foreign oil. As well, each province would be receiving billions in revenue from the pipeline running through their province. • With the extra billions earned yearly by having the pipeline run though it, Quebec for instance, could invest the money in clean energy technology. As well, Quebec would be able to add to its Equalization Payments (over $13 billion this year alone) simply because the Alberta oil economy would be producing at a much greater level. • But even after shuttering the Alberta oil industry, true global environmentalists would be left with the
problem that China has 700 super coal plants; and just one of those 700 produces the C02 emissions of the entire Canadian oilsands. • If environmentalist are so concerned globally, check out how many organizations make huge donations in the name of the environment which only target one country - Canada. These environmental groups make an extraordinarily large amount of money from stopping Canada from not being able to get its natural resources to other customers. Really you can’t blame people for making money off Canada’s inability to build pipelines. Except if they are Canadian. Then maybe some blame can be garnered, patriotically. Kerry Anderson

Mary Immaculate Auxilians give generously In the spirit of the season, in lieu of the annual Christmas party gift exchange, Mary Immaculate Auxilians (Mundare) chose, instead, to bring gifts of money and food for the local Food Banks. The Care Centre group was delighted to watch its original modest plan mushroom into a significant donation. With the help of the residents and a caring community, the Mary Immaculate Auxilians were able to provide monetary donations and approximately 300 pounds of food to the Lamont Food Bank and share an additional 300 pounds of food with the Vegreville Food Bank. Auxiliary committee chairperson, Eileen Spallin, with the enthusiastic help of Mary
Immaculate Care Centre residents, Lil Macahonic and Mary Homenick, assisted by Milene Rozmahel (staff), decorated a donation box for the Auxilians' Christmas gifts. Mary and Lil were so excited to be able to make Christmas better for families in need, that
they decorated 8 additional drop boxes to be placed in the Care Centre foyer. Over the Christmas Season, residents, families, visitors and staff generously filled the boxes and numerous bags to overflowing. The response was heartwarming.

held at the Lamont Meeting Room. Various measurements are taken from the antlers of moose, elk, antelope, white tail and mule deers as well as the skulls of animals who do not have horns such as
bears. These measurements are added together for a score with marks being taken off for things like asymmetry. The winner will be announced at the annual Lamont Fish and Game trophy dinner on Jan. 26.

County Fire vehicles get Naxolone kits BY JOHN MATHER Fire emergency vehicles at all County firehalls will be equipped with Naxolone kits to help in the case of an opioid overdose by the end of the month. “We’ve gotten the kits from Alberta Health Service and we’re training our personnel in using them.” said Lamont County regional fire chief David Zayonce. Each station, Mundare, Andrew, Bruderheim, Lamont and Chipman will get a kit and one will be placed in the chief’s vehicle.
The kit is used when dealing with people who are suffering from an opioid overdose. Zayonce said there hadn’t been a great need for the kit, but the department was moving towards getting the kits because many of the paramedics in the area carry them. “The town of Mundare asked for them through their council and that sped up the process,” he added. The Mundare request came to County Council at their December meeting. There is no cost to the County for the kits.
They are supplied from Alberta Health Services because the department is signed up for the Medical First Response Program, which allows them to access certain materials at no cost. “We may dispatch a fire vehicle to assist a medical call in support of EMS,” said Zayonce. “It’s very common to have a pumper on a medical call to lend support.” The kits are also available to the general public through pharmacies in Bruderheim, Lamont, Andrew and Mundare.
Andrew students read Metis Christmas Mittens WANDA BRYKS Andrew School grade 3 teacher, Mrs. Fisher, read the book "Metis Christmas Mittens" and the students did their own paper mittens with details.

AP candidate takes part in rally JOHN MATHER Fort SaskatchewanVegreville Alberta Party candidate Marvin Olsen was one of more than a thousand area truckers who took part in a massive rally before Christmas to raise awareness of the need for pipelines in the province. Olsen, a small business owner, said he knows how important pipelines are to future of the province. The demonstration took place near Leduc and Nisku on Dec. 19.
“The feeling of awe and unbelievable solidarity and support for one another was overwhelming to say the least,” he said. “The response that was received made me proud
to be part of this province. I was grateful to have had the opportunity to stand with fellow truckers and raise awareness of the importance of pipelines for Alberta.”
An aerial view of the massive rally held in Nisku just before Christmas. Truckers from around the province came to support construction of oil pipelines in the province.
Bruderheim would like to see new committee established to improve municipal relations BY JOHN MATHER Bruderheim council will ask Lamont Council for a meeting in the new year to discuss matters of mutual interest such as a recent cutbacks in library funding, which will seriously affect the town’s library operations this year. “I’d like our County rep to attend so we could talk to him about the library and a few other issues,” stated councillor Len Falardeau at the Dec. 18 council meeting. Mayor Karl Hauch went a step further and asked if the town could create an intermunicipal relations committee. “There is a precedent
for this,” he said. “Other communities have similar committees which meet with one another on a regular basis.” He said the committee could meet with its neighbours on a regular basis and discuss matters of mutual’s interest and address mutual concerns. He added the meetings could be held once a year or even every six months. Hauch made a motion to have administration research and bring back a resolution to have the council establish an intermunicipal relations committee. Councillor Judy Schueler wondered if
this committee would be the same as the intermunicipal planning committee that has been establish to work on land use issues between adjoining municipalities. Hauch suggested the committee he was proposing would be able to go further and cover a lot more material. “I think we need to improve our relations with the town of Lamont and the County,” said Hauch. “They both have new CAOs and this might be the best time to initiate this.” The motions passed unanimously.

SUDOKU
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!
