Lamont County opts out of interim fundingfor local economic development initiative

BY MICHELLE PINONEditor

Despite the fact that Lamont County will not beproviding interm funding for its own regional eco-nomic initiative, its remaining partners have decidedto put in their fair share.

Mike Saric, chairman of the Lamont CountyRegional Economic Development Initiatives (LCRE-DI), says the remaining five partners have all agreedto provide interm funding for its executive directorMurray Wade until new funding can be secured.

Saric says the initiative that was developed latelast fall is intended to bring economic benefits for theentire region, and the remaining municipal partnerswhich include the Villages of Chipman and Andrew,and the Towns of Mundare, Lamont, and Bruderheimare committed to moving forward together.

“It’s the very first time members have made aconcerted effort to market the region,” adds Saric,who has already seen and felt the effects of the initia-tive that has brought a couple of developers toMundare. Two lots were recently purchased on mainstreet, and a daycare operator will temporarily beoperating out of the Ukrainian National Hall while a

new facility is being constructed in the community.“We expect to see development plans any day now.”

Saric recognizes the fact that towns and villageshave far less resources than the county, and the coun-ty is not in the same boat as they are, yet he hopes thecounty will continue to be a partner in LCREDI, “Butregardless, we will move forward.”

Both Saric, and the remaining partners feel thesame, have the same goal, and that now is the time tokeep going to continue to make inroads to help growand develop their communities. That is why theyhave all decided to chip in additional funding to sup-port the initiative over the next few months.

“I don’t see the county as the bad guys in all ofthis. They have to look after their needs, and theyhave to make individual decisions as to what’s bestfor them.”

LCREDI initially received a start up grant of$50,000; and application for another grant hasalready been completed for additional funding.

Back on March 21st, Bruderheim town councilunanimously approved $3,900 in funding for a threemonth total. Mayor Karl Hauch pointed out, “Thisfunding will be recovered if the next phase of theLCREDI grant application is approved through theprovincial Regional Collaboration Program.

“The funds will be used to provide the programwith continuity during the period of when the previ-ous grant funding runs out and the new funding isapproved. We expect this to be roughly a 10 weekperiod, at which time we will get our money back ifthe grant is approved.”

Hauch added that: “We are extremely optimisticthat the LCREDI program will benefit Bruderheimresidents by helping to develop a program that pro-motes economic development in the region which isa priority for our council at this time.”

The Town of Bruderheim joined the LCREDI pro-gram, adds Hauch, “Because we want to put more ofa focus on economic development withinBruderheim and surrounding region. We feel thatthere is a benefit to working with our five partnermunicipalities on this because economic develop-ment doesn’t happen in small isolated pods. It ismore effective when it is addressed as a regionbecause the development in one municipality has thepotential to provide benefits to all surroundingneighbours.

For the past eightyears there has been asell out crowd at theLamont Bull-A-Rama;and organizer AaronWick has no reason tobelieve the 19th install-ment slated for April28th will be any differ-ent.

Wick, chairman of theLamont and DistrictAgricultural Society,advises folks to purchasetickets in advance of theone day bull ridingextravaganza. Besidesfacing long lineups, Wicksays there is also thechance people may notbe able to purchase tick-ets that day dependingon demand. They canaccommodate 1,400 spec-tators in the arena, andWick says they alwaysreach capacity.

“It (the Lamont Bull-A-Rama) is rated one ofthe top five, if not the topthree in Alberta,” addsWick, who has beenchairing the event since2001.

Not only is the eventtop rated, the organizingcommittee has been rec-ognized for its outstand-ing efforts in the past bythe cowboys who’vevoted them Committeeof the Year twice.

The Bull-A-Rama isfully sanctioned by theWorld ProfessionalBullriding Association,and 30 of the top athleteswill be going head tohead for valuable pointsand prize money. As anadded incentive, the ag.society will be throwing

in an additional $8,000 tothe pot.

The event, not onlyattracts the top profes-sional bull riders inWestern Canada and theUnited States, butAustralia as well. TheBull-A-Rama will alsofeature top rated stockby well known and verywell respected contractorTrach, says Wick. In asport that judges andawards points to boththe bull and the rider,each one is equallyimportant, adds Wick.

He expects there to be30 riders in the event, thetop 10 or top riders whostay on the bull for eightseconds, advance to afinal round. Wick saysthe Bull-A-Rama offers“fun for the whole fami-ly,” and expects this edi-tion to be no differentfrom previous ones.

The Bull-A-Rama willalso feature miniaturebull bucking and juniorsteer riding for kidsbetween the ages of eightand 14.

Wick says a couple ofmembers of the agricul-tural society went to seea Bull-A-Rama andthought it might be agood fundraiser, and ithas been over the past 18consecutive years. Hepoints out that proceedsof the Bull-A-Rama, andother events the Ag.Society hosts throughoutthe year are funneledback into the community.

“Since we’re non-profit, all of the funds aredonated back to commu-nity organizations.”During the event, the Ag.Society will be present-ing two $500 scholar-

ships for recipients toattend post secondaryinstitutions as well as a$10,000 donation to thelocal health care centrewhich is celebrating its100th anniversary thisyear. “It’s kind of ourway of giving back tocommunity organiza-tions.”

Wick says the eventalso benefits the commu-nity as a whole, as partic-ipants as well as mem-bers of the crowd spendadditional money onrefreshments and pur-chase various goods andservices in the townthroughout the day.

New to the event willbe the No Bull TradeShow, that will be goingon in the LamontRecreation Centre fromNoon to 6 p.m. Morethan 40 venders havebeen confirmed to date,which Wick says isabsolutely fantastic.

There will be a chilicook off as well as con-tests for the best clownfor children 12 andunder and the mostunique boots. Albertabeef will be featured, inaddition to other menuitems as the local 4-Hlight horse club will beoperating a concessionthroughout the event.

Wick says there willbe plenty to see and do.Ag. Society membersand volunteers alike willbe spending several dayssetting up the venue, andhe encourages anyoneinterested in helping outto come to the arenabetween Tuesday andFriday evenings to helporganize and set up forthe event.

Lamont Bull-A-Rama will thrill crowd

The Bull-A-Rama is oneof the biggest eventsthat Lamont Ag Societyhosts, and is one of thetop five bull riding showsput on in Alberta. Thisyear there is also a NoBull Trade Show with 40vendors for spectators tocheck out.

Partners forge ahead despite county’s decisionto decline request for extra LCREDI funding

Continued from Page 1Saric, as well as the rest of town council in Mundare also felt the same, and

recently decided to commit $10,000 towards the interim funding. The sameamount of money was also pledged by the Town of Lamont at its March 27thcouncil meeting. Mayor Bill Skinner noted the program was initiated to identifyopportunities and attract development within Lamont County. Skinner went onto state that: “Mr. Wade has made many contacts and has been working onnumerous ideas that could bring development to the region. Our council felt itwas desirable not to have an interruption in the program. We have been trying toattract development within our municipality and feel this program could be verybeneficial in making that a reality.”

Chipman Mayor Jim Palmer is also pleased with the efforts of Wade and theresults of LCREDI, and its council recently made a motion to supply $5,000 ininterim funding.

“I’m extremely pleased and happy with the results of LCREDI,” stated Palmer.He says there have been many telephone enquiries, and several visits fromprospective buyers who are looking to possibly develop some of the village’s 14available quarter sections of land. “People are looking at our land. It is a directresult of his (Wade’s) efforts.”

“This is the first time we’ve actually had any results,” added Palmer, that area direct result of any regional economic development strategies and partnershipsthat have been tried in the past. Palmer said the county had conducted manystudies and had an economic development group in the past, but nothing hadcome out of those efforts.

Andrew’s chief administrative officer Pat Vandway also confirmed that vil-lage council has committed to providing interim funding towards the initiative,and vows to continue to work collectively with its partners to promote the regionand support viable economic growth.

“Together we can optimize the promotion of each municipality within the

region as a place to set up business, work, live and play. Alone, we do not possessthe resources to achieve our number one goal of economic prosperity. The Villageof Andrew is excited about the potential opportunities for development through-out the region, and look forward to continuing with our partners in the pursuit ofour goals.”

Garret Matteotti, manager of economic development and strategic initiativesfor Lamont County says council’s recent decision not to provide $4,200 in bridgefunding for LCREDI should have “no effect” on the initiative, and in reality, “noeffect” on the other partners.

“Lamont County is still an active participant in LCREDI as one of six equalmembers.” Matteotti stated: “The organization would continue to function with-out funding from the county. Another major component of LCREDI is the rvenuesharing agreement where 15 per cent of revenues from new industrial develop-ments are shared with all partners. This agreement will not be affected by thecounty’s decision to not provide interim funding. A regional economic develop-ment aspect to the program has also been created.”

Matteotti also pointed that interim funding was to ensure LCREDI met theexpectations of the current grant. “The majority of current costs are related tofunding the executive director.”

He went on to say that: “Lamont County’s values around economic develop-ment are centred around industrial development and the creation of high paying,long-lasting jobs in the region. The county wants to bring in more wealth into theregion and help the urban areas while pushing appropriate residential and non-residential developments to the towns and villages.

“Lamont County council also understood it would cost the county $13,000.These monies were not budgeted and it was only after the fact council learnedthese dollars could be refunded. The other municipal partners may have knownthis prior to making their decision regarding interim funding.”

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

Are you prepared to give up$13,000 during your golden years?MP Leon Benoit and PrimeMinister Stephen Harper thinkyou are. That is what the averageCanadian will have to give upthanks to the federal budget intro-duced by the Conservative Partylast week.

The Budget cuts retirementbenefits by raising the age of eligi-bility for Old Age Security and theGuaranteed Income Supplementfrom 65 to 67 years, forcingCanadians to postpone theirretirement for two years. For lowincome seniors it is even worse.

They stand to lose up to

$30,000 which could hike seniorspoverty up by a third.

It ís a massive hit to the least-well off. It is mean-spirited and itis wrong.

The Conservatives offered zerofinancial analysis to justify the cutbecause there is none. The OECD,the Parliamentary Budget Officerand other leading experts have allconfirmed that Canada does notface a pension crisis.

The Conservatives are alsousing the Budget making deepideological cuts. They are cutting$310 million from Agriculture andAgri-Food, threatening farm riskmanagement programs that haveseen family farms through flood,drought and disease. They are cut-

ting $166 million from AboriginalAffairs, reducing funding for thefastest growing and most impov-erished group in the country.

How skewed are these priori-ties? Take a look at what the gov-ernment is not cutting: polls,advertising, bigger jails andstealth fighters.

Canadians should be askingStephen Harper and Leon Benoithow they can justify such a small-minded Canada.

Yours sincerely,Bob Rae, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Liberal leader Rae lambastesConservative budget priorities

September 28th, 2005.That was the day my mom went into the hos-

pital for the last time. She had been undergoingchemotherapy treatments when she got a bloodclot in her leg. Antibiotics were ineffective as herimmune system was non-functioning. Feelings offear, anger, and sadness were overwhelming as Iwas trying to comprehend the magnitude of thesituation.

Fast forward to April 8th, 2012. As my AuntieJudy lay in her hospital bed, her breathinglaboured and glassy eyes growing distant Icouldn't help but feel that same fear, anger, andsadness. She, however, managed her best smiledespite her seriously grave, incredibly painful,and rapidly deteriorating condition.

Like my mom, my aunt has been battling can-cer for the past eight months. Inspite of herunshakable faith and incredible will to live, thetumours in her stomach continue to grow, and itis only a matter of time before her journey hereon earth will come to an end.

"Don't tell me all of this was for nothing." Iremember saying those words when my momwas waiting for days for the doctor to finallydeliver the news that she would not be able towin this battle.

I railed because of the pain and sickness andsuffering she had to endure during her months oftreatment. Then to have it all be for naught. Eventhough chemo was their treatment of choice, Ican't help but wonder if the physicians reallygave them a clear outline or direction? As timewent on, I wondered if just because the bloodwork passed the snuff test that it was beneficial,let alone necessary.

I guess I questioned and still question thevalidity, ethics, and whether the hard and fasttruth is made apparent to patients before andduring treatments. Is it just enough to say we didall we could given modern medicine and tech-nology. The quality and value of human life thathangs in the balance is uppermost in my mind.

But I admire the courage and dignity of mymom and aunt, and try to remind myself thattheir suffering was not in vain as it teaches every-one, including myself, the true essence of life.

Four local teachers were recentlyrecognized for continuing their educa-tion by the Elk Island Public Schools(EIPS) district.

Lamont teachers Kari Archer andJustin Mazur, along with Andrewteachers Sharon McLean and DanielVerhoeff, received special recognitionfor completing leadership programs,along with various masters degrees.

Archer, Mazur, and McLean allcompleted the Leadership ForTomorrow Program. Mazur also com-pleted his Master of Education inEducational Studies: SchoolImprovement. McLean completed herMaster of School Counselling, whileVerhoeff completed his Master ofEducational Leadership.

Mazur admits he did spend a lot ofevenings and weekends, both onlineand at the university studying over thepast two years, but the time and effortspent after hours was well spent.

"I always find education is benefi-cial," adds Mazur, who is the assistantprincipal at Lamont High School. Hisstudies have also opened up otherdoors and opportunities, improved histeaching skills, and fostered both pro-

fessional and personal growth anddevelopment.

"It feels good. I am proud of myself,and it motivates me to continue on,"added Mazur. Besides gaining a lot ofconfidence in the classroom, Mazur has

gained a lot of valuable contacts andnetworking opportunities.

Mazur definitely feels his efforts tofurther his education has made him abetter teacher, and will serve him wellno matter what subjects or grade levelshe teaches at.

Verhoeff has similar sentiments asMazur, and that working on his mas-ters over the past two years has led tofurther academic achievements, andgave him the opportunity to apply forthe assistant principal position inAndrew.

In addition to being able to applythe information he has learned on adaily basis, it has also allowed him todevelop and improve his skills.

"I have always enjoyed learning,and I loved the fact that this programhelped me grow professionally andbecome better at what I do. It also gaveme lots of opportunity to build rela-tionships with other professionalswhom I still seek out advice from,should the situation arise."

With EVEREST® 2.0, no grower has to sacrifice

yield to crop injury in order to control weeds in

wheat. EVEREST 2.0 Herbicide, the next generation

in weed control has advanced safener technology

built in to provide peace of mind while delivering

relentless control of green foxtail, wild oats and key

broadleaf weeds.

Flush after flush™ control leads to better yieldsIn University of Saskatchewan field trials over the

past two years, researchers found that even with

some very wet conditions, EVEREST 2.0 delivered

Flush after flush™ control of wild oats and green

foxtail with no risk of injury symptoms. The crop

was able to grow without adverse effects, thanks

to the super selectivity of EVEREST 2.0 on all

varieties of spring and durum wheat.

“We like that EVEREST 2.0 gives customers a

wide application window that lets you spray at

your earliest convenience, regardless of weather

conditions,” says Andy Teslia of Providence Grain

Group Inc. “Spraying early provides the best weed

control, and with EVEREST 2.0, young wheat has a

best chance to become established and reach its top

potential yield. And at the same time, if the rains

come and the crop advances, EVEREST 2.0 is still

safe to apply.”

Best-in-class control of Group 1resistant grassy weedsMore and more, spring wheat growers in Western

Canada are plagued with hard-to-kill grassy weeds.

As a Group 2 herbicide, EVEREST 2.0 enhances

the options for growers struggling with Group

1-resistant wild oats and green foxtail.

Superior formulation and convenience“EVEREST 2.0 is an advanced, highly concentrated

liquid formulation,” says Craig Brekkas, Herbicide

Marketing Manager, Western Canada for Arysta

LifeScience. “It’s a user-friendly, no-hassle product

that wheat growers can rely on, with exceptional

convenience and flexibility.” One 2-litre bottle will

treat 80-100 acres for wild oats and green foxtail.

As well, the high-quality liquid formula with safener

technology makes it compatible with multiple tank-

mix partners.

Lamont County gets hit with snowstormWestern part of county gets the worst of the snow

Photos by Tracy Harding

Spring enters Lamont County with a spring snowstorm. Pictured is Elk IslandNational Park which got the most snow, and resulted in the roads being a slip-pery mess.

Wildrose Party candidate Shannon Stubbs talks politics with Tofield area residentsDarlene Gallinger, right, and Linda Danilak, center, during a recent meet andgreet at the Lamont Seniors Drop-In Centre. Besides getting an earful, guestscould get an eyeful and mouthful as members of the club held their bi-annualbake sale. Within a half an hour, most of the baked goodies were bought byappreciative buyers, estimated to be in the neighbourhood of 100 people.Members of the club say that without the support of the bake sales, they wouldnot be able to keep the doors of the facility open year round. Anyone over theage of 55 years is encouraged to join the volunteer seniors social organization.The group also holds weekly bingos to raise funds to offset utility and mainte-nance costs.

Shannon Stubbs, third from left, poses with a group of supporters in FortSaskatchewan. She also opened a campaign office in the city late last week.

Bruderheim towncouncil now has its ownCode of Conduct toadhere to since membersformally agreed to passthe official policy recent-ly.

Mayor KarlHauch says,"The goalbehind the pol-icy is to createshared expec-t a t i o n samongst coun-cil members onhow to con-duct them-s e l v e s .U l t i m a t e l y,councillors andthe mayor areaccountable tothe residents ofthe town, butthis gives somedirection whencouncillors are conduct-ing themselves outsideof official council meet-ings."

The policy definesand elaborates on theissues of pecuniary inter-est, integrity, publicinterest, stewardship,impartiality, gifts, confi-dentiality, respect andaccountability. It also

includes a Code of Ethicsas well as a section thatelaborates on conductingpublic deliberations andprocesses openly, unlesslegally confidential, in anamosphere of respectand civility.

The document goes

on to state that: "The res-idents of the Town ofBruderheim are entitledto have fair, ethical andaccountable local gov-ernment and to expectthe highest standards ofconduct from the mem-bers that it elects to coun-cil.

"Such a governmentrequires that public offi-

cials comply with boththe letter and the spirit ofthe laws and policiesaffecting operations ofthe government; be inde-pendent, impartial andfair in their judgementand actions."

While the policy isnot legally bind-ing, MayorHauch says, "Itmakes councilmore account-able to eachother and ther e s i d e n t sbecause there isnow standardsin place that canbe followed."

H a u c hwent on to saythat: "It (the pol-icy) simplyoffers a recogni-tion that councilagrees to followcertain stan-dards. If they

choose not to follow thepolicy, this would be rec-ognized publicly andcould then become anissue during their nextelection campaign.

All of the councillorswith the exception ofcoun. Dave McCormack,voted in favor of the pol-icy.
