Arrest made in 2024 Vic Hotel armed robbery in Bruderheim

An arrest was finally made in the 2024 armed robbery of the Victoria Hotel in Bruderheim. Although originally two suspects were reported to have been involved, only one was arrested on Oct. 1. The second suspect is still at large.

Edmonton resident Aaron Roberts is accused of showing up at the hotel with a shotgun at 1:35 a.m. on Nov. 15, 2024, robbing the staff of cash.

The shotgun was used to hit a staff member in the face during the robbery.

A vehicle was later recovered by Fort Saskatchewan RCMP in the area of range road 211 and township road 544 which was involved in a single vehicle collision, and believed to have been used in the robbery.

Roberts is charged with robbery with a firearm, using a firearm in the commission of an offense, pointing a firearm, unauthorized possession of a prohibited weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon without a license and unsafe storage of a firearm.

Roberts has been remanded into custody and is awaiting his next court appearance.

Leader’s John Mather puts best foot forward at Fort Saskatchewan candidates’ forum - says positive new team needed on council

Lamont

joined 13 other council candidates and two mayoral candidates at the Dow Shell Theatre in Fort Sask., Oct. 2, answering questions from the event moderator in hopes of swaying votes for an election win Oct. 20.

Mather threw his hat in the ring for one of six available seats on the City of Fort Saskatchewan’s council. The theatre was nearly packed when

the candidates took to the stage.

Mather focused his speeches to the new pool and fire hall, concerned about future debt but said he understood the need for the new facilities.

“When I mentored youth through coaching and with the Boys and Girls Club, it wasn't so their children, their grandchildren and great grandchildren, could be saddled with debt from this generation of councils,” he said.

Mather said that with a new mayor

being elected a “fresh new council” was also in order.

“I believe we should have a fresh council with fresh, positive ideas. I have experience as a councillor. I've been a community worker. I've been a local businessman. I would like to be part of that positive new team on October 20,” he said.

Mather served as Fort Saskatchewan councillor from 2010-2013.

Bruderheim councillor silenced by mayor Hauch at final meeting

As one of his last acts as Bruderheim’s mayor, Karl Hauch silenced councillor Len Falardeau by having his portion of the Oct. 1 agenda stricken from the council meeting.

It was the council’s final meeting before the Oct. 20 election.

Falardeau, who isn’t running in the upcoming election, said in a later interview that he took time to prepare a page of items he wanted to address on his last council meeting.

He said he submitted the page to Chief Administrative Officer Phyllis Forsyth, as per regulations, to add to the agenda.

Once the meeting commenced, Hauch moved to strike Falardeau’s item, labeled 4.1, from the agenda, needing unanimous consent to do so.

Farlardeau, who mistakenly thought Hauch said 4.9, raised his hand, joining the other councillors in attendance who also had their hands raised; Deputy Mayor Dayna Jacobs, Councillors George Campbell and Ashley Carter.

No one tipped Falardeau off to his mistake.

Councillor Arlie Young was not in attendance.

“He didn’t ask me if that was what I intended to do. Why would I want to remove my own agenda item?” Falardeau said later.

As the meeting moved forward, Falardeau, paper in hand, was ready to address his items when Hauch stopped him.

“We struck that,” said Hauch.

“You said 4.9, not 4.1,” said Falardeau who was corrected by Hauch.

“Then I vote against that, you can’t. Again, you are trying to (prevent) people in this town from knowing things. This is absolutely disgusting.”

Hauch said that, “Robert’s Rule of Order allows us to remove an agenda item and that’s what we did.”

Falardeau’s page of items included policing and to ask why the Town is being charged $85,000 when there has been no increase to policing, the Town’s commitment to the Alberta Industrial Heartland which Falardeau said has not resulted in any industrial growth, the reduction in growth of the school, and loss of local businesses.

Falardeau also wanted to address a possible reduction in council remuneration as well as to look into the Town’s financial waste of annexing land that isn’t being used.

“We need a detailed break down to show the ratepayers what transpired,” he said.

In a later interview Falardeau said he was hoping to bring forward the items as his last act on council.

“These (items) have

bothered me for a long time, but what Karl (Hauch) did really bothers me,” said Falardeau.

“Karl already tried silencing the media with a bylaw preventing them from recording council meetings, he tried silencing the public by ripping down their posters for the public hearing and he silenced me at the meeting by being sneaky.”

Hauch is not seeking another term as mayor, instead is running for a council seat in the upcoming election.

I hope that the extended good weather has allowed most farmers to complete the harvest of this year’s crops. The nightmare scenario of needing to put damp or tough grain through a grain dryer or run aeration fans for weeks hasn’t materialized this fall. Yields were probably average or slightly better. We suffered no wildlife damage this year. So, other than both combines dying within a day of each other, we got through it largely unscathed. One combine has already been repaired and the other is waiting for a replacement part. How’s that for being proactive for Harvest 2026?

In other news, we’ve been overrun with squirrels. Our mature spruce tree windbreak is like an over-sized set of monkey bars for over-active kids.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Up-to-Date

Although a few years back they also found one of the combines and did a few thousand dollars damage to hoses carrying engine coolant. Replacing all the antifreeze twice, replacing chewed up hoses, and paying for a service call all adds up fast. It is nearly impossible to shoot the cute little critters because they are so well camouflaged and so incredibly fast but Roy has managed to get a few that way. What has worked lately is baiting a trap with peanut butter. Managing pest populations is a necessary evil unless you want chaos. Speaking of managing pests, any County candidate actually doing farm visits during this campaign period shouldn’t need to fear for their safety. Roy’s door knocking was cut short on Saturday afternoon when an at-large dog bite him on the calf. We were surprised by the amount of blood that soaked through his jeans. This does not sound like responsible pet ownership. A trip to the hospital emergency department was required to properly clean the wound and assess the damage. Stitches were

not required but a tenday course of antibiotics was. Apparently, in every case of dog bites, Alberta Health Care follows up with a phone call to both the victim and the dog owner. I loved to eavesdrop on that conversation.

Speaking of things getting out of control, a couple weeks ago Roy and I spent a few hours of hard labour pruning and /or removing trees that had overgrown their spots or grown up as volunteers. It was extremely satisfying work and is unlikely to be noticed by anyone but us. I used hand held secateurs for the small trunks and we used a reciprocating saw for anything larger. Roy is fond of giving Hilary a set of whatever we have. She got our old saw; he bought us a new one. There must have been a slight design change because before long we both had blisters. And I was wearing gloves. The blister, not yet totally healed, is at the base of the thumb and couldn’t be more painful. When we resume this work, I’ll be binding my hand first. This is just the latest example of products getting worse and not better with newer models.

Change for change’s sake alone is a lousy reason for a new design.

The other day I heard a scary story. An elderly woman wearing a backpack was leaving a Safeway store when someone tried entering the store through the exit door she was occupying. A bit of commotion ensued and she was slightly rattled. Only when she returned home with her groceries did she realize that she’d been robbed. A look at the store security tape showed a two-person operation. One distracts and confuses; while the other one opens her backpack and removes her wallet. She’s now faced with the cost and inconvenience of replacing a driver’s licence, credit cards, and all the other essential cards we carry. She lost about $500 in cash she was carrying for an upcoming trip. Most shocking of all was how literally within minutes, hundreds of dollars’ worth of purchases and cash withdrawals were made with both a debit card and credit card. I didn’t know that people could opt out of using a PIN with a debit card. The bad guys simply needed to tap all

those purchases. I didn’t ask if this particular store had a security guard on duty. You can see why so many stores are opting for that ‘tough on crime’ deterrent. Let’s hope the credit card company’s insurance fully covers the fraudulent purchases. I saw something on TV recently saying banks

are placing the blame for credit card fraud on the customer rather than the criminal as a way of avoiding reimbursement of losses. No matter how you slice it, the victim is the ultimate loser here. Pierre Poilievre’s latest slogan, Jail Not Bail, will likely resonate with many Canadians. And that my lovelies, brings you totally up-todate, from where I sit.

Childrens’ entertainer Fred Penner to perform in St. Michael

June 10, 2014 issue of the Lamont Leader: Organizers including FCSS are hopeful the St. Michael Rec. Centre will be full on June 12 as childrens’ entertainer Fred Penner performs. FCSS is happy with its recent results stating childhood development in Lamont County is above the provincial average.

Opinion

Teachers on strike but who’s to blame?

Before we get into the nitty of this gritty, let’s get one thing straight as the question has come up. Is the ATA (Alberta Teacher’s Association) a teacher’s union or an association?

Here is what the ATA says on their website about their organization; “The provincial association and its locals perform both union and professional functions. As a union, it assists with collective agreement application and advises teachers on employment matters. Professionally, the Association supports continuing education and development for teachers through the provision of workshops and conferences.”

So, yes, they are both an association and also a union.

Regarding teachers, everyone can empathize with them. Every single one of us can remember a time when we observed a teacher trying desperately to maintain control over a crowded classroom, or caught them staying late preparing for the next day’s lessons, coaching a basketball team or marking tests.

My own children have had marvelous teachers over the years. There is no doubt there are some hard-working teachers out there who really care about kids. And they need help. Class sizes are growing, not only in numbers but also complexities. Students with extra needs such as autism, ADHD and some who don’t speak English requiring more Educational Assistants.

One can only look at the number of people flooding into the province over the last few years (50,000 new students since 2023) to understand the urgency. Teachers need help.

Then why are they going on strike after being offered a big pay raise plus more teachers and Educational Assistants hired to address class sizes?

Answer? We don’t know.

And someone else doesn’t know who is supposed to know. The ATA.

In the spring, an offer was brought forward by a mediator with a 12 percent increase offered over four years and $400 million in classroom improvements to start that fall. Teachers rejected that deal by 62 percent then voted 94.5 percent in favour of striking, giving them 120 days to initiate the strike action with 72 hours notice.

The timing couldn’t have been better for school boards. 120 days took them right to the second week in Oct, one week after the annual student count day of Sept. 29 which their government funding is based on.

Everyone came back to the table this Sept. and a deal was presented which the ATA thought good enough to take back to their members. It promised to hire 3,000 more teachers over three years and 1,500 more educational assistants to address classroom complexities, increase pay by 12-17 percent over four years plus include the $400 million in classroom improvements and pay for COVID shots.

lmtleader@gmail.com

A slightly better deal than the one presented in the spring, making Alberta teachers the highest paid teachers in Western Canada after taxes. But, incredibly, even more teachers rejected this deal; nearly 90 percent!

Premier Danielle Smith expressed her confusion during an interview on her Saturday radio segment, Your Province Your Premier.

“I’m a bit confused about why it is the teachers rejected it,” she said. “This one was a better deal. It accelerated some of the pay increases that we were going to give, and it was rejected 90/10 so there's, I think, a real disconnect between what the union leadership is putting on the table, saying their members want, and then when they take it to their members, it gets voted down.”

Aren’t union leaders supposed to know what it is teachers are bargaining for? How can they get it 90 percent wrong?

What is the magic number the government can agree to, that will end the strike and get our kids back into the classroom? Here is what it sounds like; “Well, Government, if you don’t know we’re not telling you”.

Clearly this is the government’s fault, according to ATA president Jason Schilling.

“It shouldn't be the job of teachers to negotiate hiring more teachers, to hire EAs, to hire or to pay for resources so that students can have their needs met,” said Schilling while being interviewed Oct. 1 by Courtney Theriault on CHED. “That is solely the responsibility of government, and they've neglected that for many years by underfunding the system, and now we're all stuck in this situation and paying for their mistakes.”

Let’s talk about underfunding. I’ve been covering Elk Island Public School board meetings for six years, in the time I’ve been with the Leader and have always been amazed at how much money flows through EIPS. Of course, it costs a lot of money to run and maintain 42 schools with over 17,000 students.

Just in June, the board proposed a $30 tech fee for families to pay for devices for their children at school, but Fort Saskatchewan trustee Ralph Sorochan wasn’t having it. He insisted that given the fact the board reported an $8 million surplus that year, any fees imposed on parents for technology was unreasonable. He was voted down.

Sorochan was also voted down last month when the board put forward a change to their policy that would allow for an automatic

increase to trustee pay each year verses having to discuss and vote on it. He said, “No other sector of our organization has this guaranteed salary adjustment, and I continue to believe it is wrong.” Voted down.

In 2023 the government introduced a cap on school board operating reserves so money given could be spent on students the year it was given. The cap is a percentage of total expenses reported, and for EIPS in 2023, it meant a maximum of $6 million. Any funds socked away in this account, over this amount, would have to be paid back to the Province.

Imagine having to put a limit on how much money you are allowed to keep in your bank account because sometimes it’s too much. Underfunded indeed.

Then there are salaries. According to EIPS financial statements for 2024, the superintendent made $220,000 in addition to $51,000 in benefits. (By comparison, the mayor of Edmonton, according to the City of Edmonton’s website, makes $223,234 per year). Additionally, just over $400,000 was paid out to trustees that year, and the secretary treasurer was paid $191,000 with $39,000 in benefits.

Do these sound like symptoms of a chronically underfunded organization? I’m skeptical.

And then there is class sizes. While schools in Fort Saskatchewan are bursting at the seams, an elementary school a little over 20 kilometers away is struggling to get off the bottom of the most underutilized schools list.

Bruderheim school has barely 100 children from K-6, although room for much more. Children are routinely bussed from Bruderheim to Fort Saskatchewan to attend schools there as preference by their parents, sometimes for francophone reasons and sometimes not, but it isn’t happening very often the other way around. Could the option of kids attending a great school in a small town be presented to Fort Saskatchewan parents instead of cramming them into a portable? Maybe they would go for it, maybe not. But it doesn’t hurt to try.

It’s true teachers work 10 months of the year and are paid for 12. A sweet deal, but frankly they deserve it. They are in charge of our most precious commodity; our children. The effects of a good teacher on the life of a kid can’t be overstated.

Province paying parents during teachers strike

Continued from Page 6

To help families and keep kids from getting too far behind during the strike, the government introduced parent payments, up to $150 a week per child 12 years and under, to help with child care and education, in addition to an online toolkit to help parents teach their kids until they can go back to school.

CHED interviewer

Courtney Theriault asked finance minister Nate Horner exactly where the money was coming from to pay these parents. His answer was simple.

“This isn’t new money,” he said. “This is basically redirecting teachers’ salaries towards parents. Unspent teachers’

salaries while they are striking.”

That’s right. Teachers will not be paid while they are striking. Why not? Why doesn’t the teachers’ union have a strike fund?

Does anyone have any idea how much the ATA collects in forced teacher dues every year?

According to their financial statements available online ending Aug. 2024,

under revenue, membership fees totalled just over $43 million. And this is only part of the revenue they collect.

So teachers, let me get this straight; Striking with no pay is better than being the highest paid teachers in Western Canada?

One can only hope that when they do come back to the table, a heaping dose of common sense will join them. Along with some good questions for their union and school board around funding.

Seventy-two golfers came out to play in the tournament which was held to help raise funds for the new ice plant

needed for the club.

“I really want to thank all the volunteers who came together to put this event on,” said Lynn Huxley, one of the tournament organizers.

“Adam Pederson and his staff did an amazing job of preparing the course, getting carts ready and cooking up the banquet following the tournament.”

Organizers even acquired a school bus to bring many of the golfers from Lamont. Huxley said she didn’t have a final amount raised by press time because all the expenses hadn’t yet been totalled up.

Lamont candidates’ open house draws voters

Eight out of nine Town of Lamont candidates, running for six council seats and one mayor seat in the upcoming election, welcomed residents who came out for their open house at the Lamont Arena Sept. 29.

Mayoral candidate Paul Derosiers did not attend.

candidate

Councillor Perry Koroluk, who has been on council for two terms (eight years) said he is looking forward to watching Lamont grow and hopes to be on council to help it happen.

“The last eight years have gone really well, and I just want to keep that momentum going,” he said. “It’s been exciting and very fulfilling.”

Incumbent candidate Al Harvey

Councillor Al Harvey, who has also served two terms on council, said he wants to watch the Town’s three-year plan come to fruition.

“I spent time working with fellow councillors for that plan to be developed, and there's a bunch of things in there that I would like to try and see us move forward with,” he said. “I want to take a look at other things that we are doing, and say, hey, what can we do perhaps a little better? One thing is

developing a community policing committee.”

Candidate Lynn Huxley

Newcomer, Council candidate Lynn Huxley, said she has lived in the town for just over 20 years and is excited to be part of a council she has come to admire.

“I was watching what the town council was doing, and I thought, they're doing a great job. I want to join that. I want to be a part of them,” she said, adding she has spent close to 30 years in community development and was president of the Lamont curling club for three years. “I know I have something to offer.”

Incumbent candidate Linda Sieker

Councillor Linda Sieker, who has just finished her first term on council, said she is hoping to be elected for a second term to continue the community work she has come to love.

“It’s been the most challenging and rewarding four years,” she said. “I still feel I have a lot to give the community. The bylaws and governance is one thing, but the building (of the community) is what I like to work on.”

Newcomer, council candidate Chris Mintenko, said he is looking forward to sup-

porting the town by serving on council.

“Hopefully I’ll be able to do something positive to support the Town,” he said, adding he is looking forward to learning more about the town through a possible future council role.

Lamont’s current Mayor Jody Foulds is running for re-election as mayor. He said he has served two terms and is looking for a third.

“I became mayor in

the middle of 2024 and it’s been pretty good.

The Dennis Stadnick Memorial Park playground, located in the Edna subdivision in the town of Lamont, will be decommissioned and playground equipment removed next year.

Lamont Chief Administrative Officer Tyler Edworthy delivered the news stemming from a third-party playground inspection to council members at the Sept. 23 council meeting.

Edworthy said problems with the playground were first identified during an inspection in 2021 and another inspection in 2025 confirmed further deterioration. He said the age of the playground inhibited the ability to purchase replacement parts and meanwhile the deterioration continues.

“(It’s) posing more of a safety concern, (and) they're recommending that the playground be decommissioned,” said Edworthy. “So administration is asking the council to support the recommendation to decommission the Stadnick playground and turn it into a leisure park area.”

Councillor Al Harvey asked if administration met with any members of the Stadnick family around the issue, and Edworthy said yes and the family were disappointed.

“The Stadnick family has supported the community immensely, but they do understand that there's some safety concerns, and we will work with them on the decommissioning of the play-

ground and any of the equipment that they want we'll make sure that they can have,” he said.

“So we'll be working with them through the decommissioning.”

The council approved the decommissioning of Stadnick Park and the reuse of the land into a leisure park area.

Another playground in the nearby Campbell subdivision was also removed this past July for the same reason. The
