Demolition Day

BY JANA SEMENIUK Demolition of an abandoned building deemed unsafe at 5131 48 avenue in Lamont was complete Oct 21.

“This has been a long time coming,” said Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner. “The owners would not take on the responsibility of removing the building so knowing that it was in that state, due diligence indicated we had to take steps for public safety.”

The property has been abandoned since at least 1990 and has been issued a tax notification by the town of Lamont five times since 2007, with the

most recent this April. All previous notifications were discharged within months of the notice. It is unclear if the most recent has yet been discharged.

“The last thing we would ever want is for somebody’s child to be in there playing and fall through the floor when we know there is a big pool of possibly contaminated water in there,” Skinner added.

He went on to explain that once the state of the building came to their attention, a court order had to be obtained for the fire chief and an engineer to access the property and do an

inspection. The results of the inspection had labelled the building as completely unsafe and a public safety hazard.

Skinner added that the roof of the building was caving in, windows were broken as well as suspected contaminated water was sitting in the basement portion. Upon inspection the siding was also found to contain asbestos.

An estimated cost of the demolition project was provided by Select Engineering Consultants. An amount of $150,000 was approved by council to facilitate the project. At the Oct 8 coun-

cil meeting, an additional $53,000 was also approved to bring the project to completion.

“The cost was compounded by the fact that once we had it tested it was found that the siding had asbestos in it,” explained Skinner. “So, engineering costs and removal costs went up dramatically.”

It was unclear what the future of the property will hold once it is deemed safe.

A backhoe made short work of a building that was torn down by the Town of Lamont last week at 5131 48 Ave. After a few hours of work, the building which had been deemed unsafe was reduced to a pile of shattered wood and rubble.

Bylaw to reduce Bruderheim councillors struck down

BY JANA SEMENIUK A bylaw proposal brought forward at the Oct. 23 Bruderheim town council meeting, which would see the number of elected official council members reduced from seven to five, was defeated.

Bylaw 01-2019 was struck down by a tie vote in its second reading.

The number of Council members is presently reduced from seven to six until a new councillor was elected at the byelection on Oct. 28, as a result of Councillor Patrick Crawford’s resignation in Aug. Town councillor is an elected position paid for by the town with a fouryear term. The projected savings to the town by reducing the council team by two members was a total of $56,000 over the course of the term as reported by Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny at the council meeting.

The proposed bylaw passed its first reading at a council meeting prior to the last municipal election. A passing of the

second reading would have launched the issue into a public hearing where the residents would have had an opportunity to provide input into the decision.

The bylaw would then have had to pass a third and final reading before going through as law.

“This is a decision for council,” said Councillor George Campbell. “We are an elected group of people and we should be able to make that decision (without a public hearing).”

Mayor Karl Hauch added that many important decisions are brought to a public hearing and this method has been utilized in the past.

Campbell expressed concern for the cost to the town in holding a public hearing to which Podoborozny responded would include a stipend for councillors to attend a special meeting as well as advertising although she didn’t provide a dollar amount.

“The thing is when you go to a public hearing and you talk about budgets, it shades the whole thing,” said

Councillor Len Falardeau. “Right now, our portfolios are busy enough and we don’t have enough people to cover all of the things we are doing as it is. I think seven councillors is very appropriate for the size of town. We have a good variance of councillors to represent our community honestly and fairly and once you reduce that you lose representation.”

“We as leaders have to start setting the tone, and saving some money,” said Councillor Judy Schueler. “It would not come into effect for two years, but we could start setting the tone to residents that we are conservative and proactive by starting at the top.”

Councillors Wayne Olechow, Falardeau and Campbell voted against the new bylaw while Schueler, Mayor Hauch and Deputy Mayor Pat Lee voted in favour.

Director of Legislative Services Sherry Cote, added that although the bylaw was struck down it could still be brought forward at a future date for reconsideration.

Long-time Mayor Steve Andrais helped Lamont grow

BY JOHN MATHER Steve Andrais was remembered as a very private person, but one who truly had a strong love for the Town of Lamont.

Andrais passed away Oct. 15 at the age of 92.

“He was a very, very private person,” recalled Sandi Maschmeyer, who worked for the town and rose up to become Chief Administrative Office before her retirement earlier this year.

Andrais served as the mayor of Lamont from 1974 until 1995.

“He always had the best interests of the town at heart,” said Maschmeyer. “He was

instrumental in bringing the Edmonton Vegreville Water Corridor through the town which got us city water.

“And he was the mayor when the Queen came to town.”

In 1978 Queen Elizabeth toured Alberta as part of her visit to the 1978 Edmonton Commonwealth Games.

Elmer Pullishy was the town foreman while Andrais was the mayor.

“He was always willing to work along with the crew, when he was the mayor,” Pullishy said. “Steve always used to tell me, ‘Elmer, the first 100 years are the worst.’ ”

Pullishy said Andrais helped the town grow serving as the mayor when the Campbell subdivision was built. He added he thought he might have helped get the Edna subdivision built as well.

“He seemed to always run things smoothly. He knew who to talk to, to get money from the government. He had a lot of contacts.

“He wasn’t scared of putting time in on a shovel. He liked to work.”

Born in Lamont in 1927, Andrais also served as the town’s boy scout leader from 1967 to 1974.

After working for 35 years at Sherritt Gordon in Fort Saskatchewan, Andrais spent several years in the Ukraine starting a food processing company.

He was predeceased by his wife, Pearl, in 1998. He is survived by

his dear friend and companion, Jesse; his brother Bill; sisters in law Janet and Lou, as well as many nieces, nephews and close friends.

As per his wishes a private family service was held at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.

Opinion Alberta: fewest MPs per capita in Canada One of the most glaring flaws with the Canadian federal election last week (aside from the results) was when many Albertans noticed for the first time that Atlantic Canada had almost the same amount of seats in the House of Commons as our home province, yet a population just over half of Alberta’s.

Because Canada’s election is supposed to be based solely on population, with little regard for provincial or territorial boundaries, that seemed weird so I thought I would compare populations to seats in the House of Commons.

Atlantic Canada gets 32 Members of Parliament, with a population of 2.4 million. Alberta gets 34 MPs with a population of 4.3 million. That means the Atlantic Provinces get an MP for every 75,000 people. In Alberta, we get an MP for every 126,000 people - the lowest representation per capita in Canada.

Ontario has a population of roughly 14.5 million people and receives a seat in the House of Commons for every 120,000 people (121 total). In Quebec there is a population of 8.4 million and they receive 78 seats, or one for every 108,000 people.

Manitoba has 1.35 million people and receives 14 seats, or one for every 97,000 people. In Saskatchewan there is a population of 1.17 million people and they also receive 14 seats - one for each 84,000 people.

British Columbia has a population of five million, and gets representation from 42 MPs or one for every 119,000 people.

What kind of system was implemented to come up with these numbers?

Having one MP each, Yukon (40,000 population), Northwest Territories (44,000), and Nunavut (38,000) have the most MPs per capita, but together they represent an area larger than Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan put together. In other words three MPs cover an area of 3.8 million square kms, if you can believe.

Now, if each province had the same amount of representatives per capita as Alberta, it would mean Ontario would have five less MPs, Quebec would have 12 less MPs, Atlantic Provinces would have 13 less MPs, Manitoba three less, Saskatchewan five less, and BC two less. In other words, what the hell?

However, if you think it would change the election results you would be wrong. Even if everyone had the same per capita representation as Alberta, the Liberals would have won 136 seats, Conservatives 111, NDP 21, Bloc 27, Green 2 and Ind. 1. In this format there would be 298 seats in the House of Commons.

Though the results would be the same, it might be easier to take without the unexplainable disparity.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Local taxes sucking the life out of businesses In many cities and towns across Canada, residential properties are increasing in value, while some local businesses are struggling to survive.

There are different reasons for this development, including factors well beyond our borders. But in most of those municipalities, business property tax rates are higher than residential rates – often two, three or four times higher.

A new Fraser Institute study compares commercial to residential property tax ratios in Canada’s largest metropolitan areas. For example, it shows that business rates were 3.81 times higher in Toronto, 3.56 times higher in Vancouver and

between 3.98 to 4.39 times higher in Montreal (depending on the borough) than the residential rate in the latest years of available data.

In some municipalities, the ratio falls to roughly two-toone, while in others it skyrockets into the double digits, notably for industrial properties.

What’s common across virtually all municipalities, however, is that rates are higher for businesses.

And yet governments across Canada – both municipal and provincial – seldom justify the disproportionate tax burden on businesses.

According to the literature on the subject, governments at all

levels are likely responding to political incentives to overtax non-voting property classes such as businesses (and to a lesser extent, tenants) while subsidizing services enjoyed by residential property owners who are more likely to be voters.

This implicit income redistribution is not without consequences.

For one, it erodes political accountability, as the property tax no longer follows a clear principle such as user-pay or payments for benefits received from the municipality or province.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Until next time

BY HAZEL ANAKA This week’s column will be a stew of tidbits and leftovers. The only connection between the ingredients is that they’ve marinated in my brain and were strained through my perception.

Bon Appetit!

• We’re nowhere near Christmas yet the promotion of asinine gift

Letter: taxing businesses Continued from Page 4 It can also threaten the survival of many small businesses.

Although business property taxes are deductible expenses from corporate income taxes, they still represent approximately half of the tax burden faced by businesses. This burden may prevent businesses from starting up, expanding, hiring more workers and remaining open for business.

It will also have a disproportionate effect on small businesses that can’t absorb costs like their larger competitors.

Moreover, the tax burden imbalance, alongside the raft of other advantages the federal (and to a lesser extent, provincial) governments offer homebuyers and homeowners, encourages investors (other things equal) to favour residential real estate over other forms of capi-

ideas has already begun.

In the past I’ve had buyer’s remorse and try not to let it happen (as often). So, no I won’t be buying this stellar line of shower accessories: waterproof speakers, a holder for two wine glasses, a cup holder, and waterproof paper. Where do I begin? I’ll acknowledge music isn’t that high on my list but even if it was, I could survive without it for the duration of a shower. Even though my bathtub caddy has a slot for a wine glass I’ve never used it but at least it’s in the realm of possibility for some people. But, drinking in the shower?

Same rationale for the cup holder. Even if that first coffee was a matter of life and death, what

are the logistics of drinking anything in a slippery space with shampoo, body wash, and water everywhere? I can, at least understand the rationale for the waterproof paper, but honestly how practical is that. It’s supposed to capture all those million-dollar ideas the rich and successful have while sudsing up.

• I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t love trees. Even Trudeau is going to plant two billion trees over ten years to help with carbon capture. We’ve planted many here at the farm over the years. But sometimes trees have to go.

ATCO Electric hired crews of arborists to remove trees that were possible power outage

tal investment such as software, machinery and equipment.

Homeowners are exempt from paying capital gains on the sale of their primary residence, while businesses must pay capital gains tax on land and (indirectly) on other assets (including machinery, equipment and intellectual property) that increase the value of a business when it’s sold.

Mortgage stress test or not, federal incentives clearly favour investment in residential real estate.

And we may already be witnessing the consequences.

The growth of capital investment in Canada slowed substantially from 2005 to 2018 compared to earlier periods.

During this same period business investment’s share of total capital investment declined markedly while residential real estate’s share of total investment increased.

Again, there are many

possible reasons for this, including increased uncertainty about Canada’s trade environment and the effects of government regulation and carbon taxes. But the relatively heavy local tax burden on businesses plays a meaningful role in the decline of business investment, the lifeblood of local economies.

Given Canada’s population growth, increased housing investment serves a valuable economic purpose.

However, to the extent that property tax distortions steer capital investment away from other productive assets, especially research and development and new business equipment, the commercial-residential property tax imbalance could come with a significant overall cost to Canada’s productivity performance and local businesses across the country.

Josef Filipowicz and Steven Globerman are analysts at the Fraser Institute.

culprits. In July, an environmental firm scouted out and marked the trees that needed to go. To sweeten the deal and expedite landowner sign-off, they offered payment for the lost trees. Our payment, based on a formula of both number of trees and square footage of coverage, will be $275. Today, two crews came to do the work. I had a toasty, ringside seat from a north-facing window. I was quite impressed with the work ethic of the crews which included older guys and young guns. They donned the safety gear, seemed to take care of their tools and equipment, were thorough in their cleanup. I knew it was a miserably cold day when

I saw the guy in the cherry-picker warming each hand in the opposite armpit. Noticing the makeup of the crews--experience and energy--reminded me of all the workmen I saw here last year. It reminded me that we need both ends of the spectrum. We need to value and respect the hard-won experience of the older worker AND the speed and energy of the young guys. If the older ones mentor and the younger ones are open to learning, it’s win-win. Too often, we misjudge and underestimate the contribution of ‘the other.’ Both groups need to understand that everyone starts out young, and if we’re lucky will get to be one of the old ones.

• And finally, knees.

Whether my current problem with my right one is the lingering effects of a fall in August or the less-thanergonomic conditions in the combine or a full moon rising, I am in pain. Stairs, up or down, are nearly impossible. A stabbing pain is the result of uneven sidewalks, a doorway threshold, pivoting, or trying to mount a curb. So far, I’ve mobilized a massage therapist, a chiropractor, and a physiotherapist.

There is improvement and I expect to recover but I have a whole new empathy for anyone awaiting knee surgery. In the meantime, I’m off to the recumbent cycle.

Until next time, from where I sit.

New life for the town of Lamont parade in 2020

BY JANA SEMENIUK Representatives from the Lamont and District Agricultural Society made a presentation to the Lamont town council Oct 22.

Society Vice President Shelley Loren and Secretary Rebecca Joseph were on-hand to propose a partnership with the town of Lamont in producing a parade that would take place the morning of July 11, 2020, the first day of the twoday Summer Sizzler Rodeo.

“In June of this year we (AG society) were looking for opportunities to start working together with the town,” said Joseph. “From that discussion and after our rodeo there was a lot of interest in having a parade again.”

LDAS is looking for the town of Lamont to provide assistance with road closures, parade route map, judges, registration administration as well as a sponsorship of $1,000. In addition, the Ag. Society will provide advertising with the rodeo schedule, town recognition as a gold sponsor as well as the event aptly named the Town of Lamont Parade.

Councillor Al Harvey expressed concern with who would provide insurance for the event.

Joseph explained that their insurance will

cover events that are off site of the AG grounds, when they are a sanctioned event, by way of a rider. She added that as the town of Lamont would be listed as a sponsor of the event, and not the host, the parade would be covered.

Joseph included she would confirm this with their insurance company.

Councillor Kirk Perrin

questioned where the parade route would lead.

“I don’t think we want to cross highways and go all the way to the AG grounds,” said Joseph.

“We would be fine with the standard one (parade route) we have all come to know.”

Lamont mayor Bill Skinner explained that Lamont has been with-

out a parade for one year.

“Previously, a parade was held in Lamont as a part of the annual Pyrogy Festival,” he said. “The people who were heading up the pyrogy festival were unable to get volunteers to step up and take over positions on that committee.

Committee members had indicated for a couple of years that they were getting burnt out and needed somebody else to step up. When no one did they chose to disband that committee and split up the left-over funds to the food bank and the park committee.”

Skinner added that he and Lamont Chief Administrative Officer Christine Beveridge had met with members of the LDAS earlier in the year to discuss possible ways to work together and build a relationship.

“When we met with them it was already too close to the event to do anything for 2019,” he said. “So, we asked them to come back prior to us having a budget set so we can plan for 2020.”

The council voted unanimously to support the parade proposal.

Andrais, Steven August 25,1927 ~ October 15, 2019 It is with great sadness the family of Steven Andrais of Lamont AB announce his passing on October 15, 2019 at age 92. He will be deeply missed by his dear friend and companion Jesse, his brother Bill, sisters in law Janet and Lou as well as many nieces, nephews and close friends. He was predeceased by his loving wife Pearl in 1998.

Steve will be fondly remembered for his devotion to community and for the kind, enthusiastic and principled way he lived his life. Born in Lamont in 1927, he served as the town’s mayor from 1974-1995, striving endlessly to make Lamont a special place to live. As the town’s Boy Scout leader from 1967-1974, his efforts caused the pack’s member-

ship to soar. Of the many hundreds of young lives he touched, many would grow up to say “Steve was like a father to me”.

His energy and interests were boundless. Following a 35-year career with Sherritt Gordon Mines, he spent several years in Ukraine starting a food processing company. Despite

the challenges of doing business in that part of the world, Steve would look back fondly at this time, saying he would do it all again because of the friends he made, the beautiful country he came to know, and the Ukrainian heritage he was able to re-discover.

Although his dream to own a farm was never realized, that didn’t stop him from farming.

Always reaching out to farmers-in-need, rarely did he miss a spring seeding or a fall harvest.

His love of vegetable gardening continued to his final year.

A special thank you to Dr. Stecyk and the staff of the Fort Saskatchewan Hospital for their kind care.

As Steve requested a small, family service, was held at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.

Former Mundare business has Haunted Hike in Vegreville A terrifically terrifying time! This haunted production spooks and entertains, starting in the line up - where a large screen relays hidden camera live feed within the hike that relays participants getting scared!

Totally awesome event from start to finish! This is the first year in Vegreville for the Haunted Hike; run by the Glowatsky Family, Teresa and Cam along with their grown children Jagger, Dawson and Belle ran the past Haunted Hike outside Sherwood Park on their acreage for several years.

Now they have relocated - Young Farts Rv Parts was homed in Mundare, and recently moved to Vegreville.

Before starting the business up in their new location, they decided to utilize the huge 5,000 sq. ft. building, to once again supply Halloween fun for thrill seekers - the family has taken four months of full time labour to seek out props, and build the Haunted Hike around their freak finds!

The family has around fifteen volunteers, Teresa stated "We've created our own little family within the volunteers", with the Hike open to scare Thurs & Sun 7-10 pm, Fri & Sat 7-11pm.

The first year turn out has been amazing, with great crowds, some people travelling all the way from Lloydminister to take the Hike, and spooktacular reviews on Facebook. Take time this Halloween to run through the Haunted Hike!

BY JANA SEMENIUK The Bruderheim byelection ended Oct. 28 with Dan Skousbol as newly elected town councillor.

“Dan is a long-time resident of our beautiful community,” said town Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny. “I’m looking forward to working with him to make some posi-

tive changes. I would like to thank him and Claude Sarrasin for letting their names stand in this by-election.”

Seventy-seven people made the trip through the chilly weather to place their vote at Bruderheim Community Hall. Although results aren’t official until Nov 1, at the end of the vote count Skousbol acquired

74 votes and Sarrasin three.

“I look forward to working with all of our current council in this time of budget cuts and fiscal responsibility to ensure our town prospers,” said Skousbol.

The team of seven town councillors was cut down to six this past summer when councillor Patrick Crawford

resigned due to personal reasons on Aug 26.

Skousbol will be sworn in Nov. 6.

Chipman Hotel scares up support for County of Lamont Food Bank

BY JANA SEMENIUK For the second year in a row the Chipman Hotel has gone above and beyond transforming their upper floor into the Chipman Haunted Hotel.

“It’s so much fun!” said hotel employee Gina Roberts. “I just love scaring people.”

Roberts, who has worked at the 72-yearold hotel for the past four years, approached hotel owner Dave Magee last year with her idea for a haunted hotel.

Roberts said she noticed during the Halloween season that people were putting on haunted hikes and haunted barns and thought it would be fun to use the upper floor as the haunted hotel.

“I thought it was a great idea,” he said.

“Whatever we can do to help the community we will do.”

Roberts explained that preparations start for herself and her small crew of family members at least a month prior to Halloween. She painstakingly executes every

little detail in each room because I am alone.

Admission to the of the haunt, right down to sawdust on floors, Chipman Haunted Hotel cobwebs strategically is $5, all of which is placed just so, and subtle donated to the County of signs everywhere that Lamont Food Bank.

“This year our goal is experience of the haunted hotel tour lies some $1,000,” said Magee. “We will see how close we get folklore.

Roberts added her some of the images and experience with the scenes are disturbing ghost of the hotel hap- and gory. pens usually when she is in the kitchen.

“I usually see him in the corner of my eye when I am doing dishes,” Gina Roberts, cleverly disguised she said. “I here, with some of her ghostly know it’s him friends.
