Longevity is a rarething in politics; butLamont town councillorWayne Field is a rarity,having spent 20 plusyears in public service.
On Sept. 25th Fieldwas formally recognizedand graciously accepted
the DistinguishedService Award for 20years of service as anelected official in Albertafrom the Alberta UrbanM u n i c i p a l i t i e sAssoication (AUMA)during its annual con-vention in Edmonton.
“Twenty years of coun-cil service is a reflectionof 20 years of voter sup-port,” said Field, whocould only think of oneother local resident, DonHarsulla, who served asmany years on council ashim.
Field, who formerlyserved as Lamont firechief for seven years, andpresident of the Lions
Club, says he was sort of“thrust” into running forcouncil by fellow volun-teers and peers. When itcame time for a byelec-tion in 1991, they came tohim with names alreadyattached for nominationpapers.
Field, former owner ofthe Chevrolet dealershipin Lamont, says his peerswanted to have a busi-ness voice on council,and he wanted to be thatvoice.
He also had the sup-port of his wife Lorraine.They have been marriedfor 41 years, and havetwo children, two grand-children, with anothergrandchild on the way.
Field has always foundserving on council to beenjoyable. “I still lookforward to the meetings.As long as I’m effective,I’d like to stay on coun-cil,” added Wayne, whoplans on running againin the next municipalelection in October of2013.
The length of the termof office will be increasedfrom three to four years,starting next fall, and hesays that is a very goodidea as it generally takesmany years before plansand construction can becompleted on most proj-ects. “Three years is justscratching the surface. Alot of times it takes fiveto six years for a projectto reach fruitition.”
Being involved at the
governance level, Fieldhas had the privilege ofdeveloping policies, and
helping set the directionon several initiatives.
“I’ve been proud to be apart of that.”
During his tenure in
office, Field has servedon internal and external
committees including:municipal planning,development appealboard, assessmentreview board, publicworks, recreation board,Vegreville WaterCommission, LamontCatering Club, and theLandfill Commission.
Over the past 21, 22years there have been alot of physical and socialchanges in the town.
Field said he has thor-oughly enjoyed workingwith “really good peopleover the years” includingadministration, publicworks, and councillors.
“There’s still work todo,” added Field, whohopes to be a part of thechallenges and successesthat will continue to pos-itively shape the Town ofLamont in the years tocome.
“I still look forward to themeetings. As long as I’m
effective, I’d like to stay oncouncil,” says Field.

The apartment build-ings that have been inthe works for the lastnumber of years, arenow on the way to beingnearly finished. Whereother companies havetried and failed,Northplex has come inand is getting the apart-ments finished.
Northplex is a compa-ny that builds modularhomes, and deliversthem right to the site.They build everythingfrom single familyhomes, condos and
apartment buildings.They are located inBarrhead and have lotsof room in the plant to
build these modulars. There are 28 apart-
ments going into phaseone, and phase two will
begin once those are allrented out. The averageapartment is one or twobedrooms, and 850 to 950
square feet. It is uncer-tain if the apartmentswill be family or adultonly.
The units are in theprocess of being puttogether. They are placedtogether with a crane,and then the siding, roofand decks are put on.
Expected end date isFebruary or March 2013.“I am very excited to seethe project all comingtogether,” statesNorthplex representativeCalvin Van Iaar, “Westarted building the unitsback in the spring, and itcame together reallyquick.”
Northplex has hired amanagement company
to work on renting outthe apartments, and theyare hoping to be able torent them out to con-struction crews, and rentthem in a larger capacity.
They are also hopingto eventually venturemore into the industrialworld as well.
“One of the best partsof the way we constructthe homes, is that it is alldone at the plant, andthen shipped out.Weather doesn’t slow usdown until we get to site,and we are hoping to beable to continue toexpand in the future. It isthe new age of buildinghomes.”

A couple of weeks ago I found myself at thehockey arena in Lamont. I had 15 minutes tospare before my meeting so I decided to peek inon an Initiation practice.
These four and five-year-olds spent more timesliding instead of gliding on the ice, but eachtime they fell they would get back up and keepgoing. Many of the youngsters smiled andwaved at their parents and grandparents in thebleachers.
The little mighty mites were so happy andcarefree, you couldn’t help but smile in returnand offer encouragement to them. Their inno-cence was heartwarming, and definitely took thechill out of the air for me.
But, as I regularly listen to news clips regard-ing stalled labour talks between the NationalHockey League (NHL) and Players Association,my attitude quickly turns frosty. Both sides spoutoff about the willingness or lack of willingness toreach a “fair deal.” The only deal is the bad dealfor fans who will bear the burden of the final out-come through increased ticket prices, associatedmerchandising costs, and whatever else.
The league is trying to salvage an 82 game sea-son, but super star players are not quite con-vinced of league officials’ sincerity, or so theysay. Nevertheless, around 150 pros have alreadydefected to Europe, including Alex Ovechkin. Isincerely doubt the Russian superstar, who earns$9 million per season or $109,756 per game play-ing for the Washington Capitals will make thatmuch lacing up with Dynamo Moscow.
According to Ovechkin, “The NHL gave fansand media hope. But really it is a deception theleague is trying to show that it is working to tryand save the season, but they are not offeringanything new. It’s all the same. He (Bettman)made an offer and said it was good. But good forwho, for Bettman?”
Well, there’s no doubt it would also be goodfor Ovechkin, who could return to the Capitalsline up to collect his regular paycheck. So thequestion is: “Who is deceiving whom?
“It’s a business at the end of the day. That’s thedark side of things and nobody likes dealingwith this. It’s not good for anyone. That’s the bot-tom line,” stated Sidney Crosby in recent days.
Dark indeed. My bottom line is to boycott anyand all future NHL hockey games, since I willnever be able to afford to attend them on my reg-ular paycheck. So I’ll just have to settle watchingfor watching the mighty mites, who play theirhearts out for the love of the game.
Call me greedy! Michelle Pinon
Good to see some hockeyis still played for fun
Dear Editor,I am writing today to
encourage all Albertansto continue with the jour-ney of forcing theAlberta Government’scull of Alberta’s WildHorse to cease.
The wild horse popu-lations in Alberta dateback before theEuropean settlers arriveddating date back to aSpanish horse founda-tion. Why does theAlberta Governmentrefuse to see the value inprotecting our naturalresource and a major
part of Alberta’sHeritage?
In the eyes of theAlberta Governmentthese magnificent ani-mals are considered“FERAL”. Websters dic-tionary defines feral as“having escaped fromdomestication andbecome wild”.
How could these hors-es have escaped domesti-cation over two hundredyears ago when the westnot settled nor explored?
Alberta’s Wild Horsesare a true HERITAGESPECIES and need the
legislation to protectthem.
Please write or callHonourable DianaMcQueen ofE n v i r o n m e n t a lSustainable Resources at1-800-542-7307 anddemand that we startprotecting this species,having them designatedas Alberta’s first heritagespecies.
The last two cull sea-sons 350 head have beenremoved and taken toslaughter. Her depart-ment claims there are 770head left in the western
foothills. Two more cullseasons, this AlbertaGovernment will havewiped out the wild horsepopulation, taking withit the unique gene poolthat has evolved, andwiping out a completesection of the naturalfood chain.
Please write or call heroffice to stop this sense-less slaughter and pro-tect a species natural toAlberta.

Writer says governenmentshould stop cull of wild horses
Jasmine InksterStudent ReporterLamont and Fort
Saskatchewan Fish andGame Association heldtheir first indoor archeryshoot of the season onThursday night in theBruderheim School gym.
The archery club wasinstigated a year ago byFort Saskatchewan Fishand Game memberJustin Kaban, andBruderheim Mayor KarlHauch, and has sincebeen a very popularevent throughout theFish and GameAssociation members.
The archery shoots areheld every secondThursday until the endof the school year, withthe exception ofThursdays that fall on ascheduled school holi-day.
At Thursday’s event,there were a total of 23people. “Last year’s firstshoot we had six, and atthe peak of last year wehad 30. So this is a prettygood turnout,” saysHauch.
Kaban was recentlyawarded a grant by DowChemical, which will gotowards new backstopsand equipment, such asbows. “We really don’thave any kids bows in
the club, except for whatour members bring,”Kaban explains.
He hopes to be able tomake shooting and set-ting up a bit easier oncethe new equipment isbrought in. “The nettingwill be 10 times lighterthan the carpets we’reusing for backstops now,
maybe even more!,”adds Kaban.
Although the numbersfluctuate from time totime, all of the membersagreed that the eventwas one that was always
enjoyed by everyonewho took part.
The event consists of ayouth shoot that goesfrom 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.and an adult shoot thattakes place from 8:30p.m. until 10p.m.
As well as their regularpractices that are held atthe school, the Fish and
Game Associations alsohold 3D shoots duringthe summer, and trapshoots throughout theyear.
The youth shootallows children andteens an opportunity toshoot with one on onehelp from the adults andleaders.
While there is no trueage limit, Kaban explainsthat the children need tobe old enough to havethe skills and compre-hension needed toensure everyone’s safety.
The members will gen-erally bring bows thatare suitable for youngchildren, but it is encour-aged for those who areable to bring their ownequipment for the youthto use.
According to Hauch,towns are often havingproblems with childrennot having anything todo in the evenings, espe-cially in small towns. Inhelping make this group
come to life, he hoped tochange that.
This group gives some-thing for both adults andchildren to do together,as well as provide a safeplace for kids to get somehands on education in askill that can be usefullater on in life.
“People are alwayssaying there’s nothingfor the kids, here’s some-thing that’s runningthrough the winter to theend of the school year,”explains Hauch.
As well as mentoringthe students on archery,they also learn vital
information on safety.The Fish and GameAssociation also spon-sors youth to go towilderness camps, andoutdoor survival campsthroughout the year.
The adult shoot holdsan opportunity for themore experienced shoot-ers to practice, and havea good time amongstthemselves.
Although there weremostly youth at thisshoot, there were still agood number of adultswho stayed to shoot afterthe youth were gone.

Mundare students enjoy author’s presentationTuesday, Sept. 25th
was no regular day atMundare School as ithosted award winningauthor Kenneth Oppel.
Hailing from Toronto,and heading out West ona 10 day tour, with 26presentations to putunder his belt, he kickedoff his tour in Mundare.
We were very lucky tohave such a popular andtalented author of hiscalibre come to visit usand were a little intimi-dated and awed by thecredentials and the largebody of his work.
Oppel has won suchprestigious titles as theGovernor General’sAward for children’s lit-erature, the Michael L.Printz Honour BookAward from theAmerican LibraryAssociation, and boththe Canadian LibraryAssociation’s Book of theYear for Children Awardas well as their YoungAdult Book Award — thefirst time in the award’shistory the same title has
won both honours! A prolific author, he
has penned books foryoung children (Peg andthe Yeti, The Kings’sTaster), Early Chapterbooks ( the Barnes andthe Brains series) and anumber of books foryoung adult readersincluding the Silverwingseries, the steampunkgenre Airborne seriesand his latest efforts, thefirst two books of a seriesrevolving around the lifeof a 16 year old VictorFrankenstein , This DarkEndeavour, and SuchWicked Intent.
These are books that,because of Oppel’sthrilling narratives,which are packed withromance, alchemy andmystery, seldom see theshelves of our schoollibrary.
Even Hollywood hastaken notice of their pop-ularity and bothAirborne and This DarkEndeavour have beenoptioned to becomemajor motion pictures.
“Endeavour” is set to beProduced by SummitEntertainment (who alsoproduced the Twilightmovies) and will beDirected by Matt Reeves(Cloverfield) .
Having said all of this,we were delighted tofind Mr. Oppel a downto earth, approachable,respectful, insightful andfunny gentleman. Nospecial requests for thisCanadian literarycelebrity, just a glass oftap water and a table to
sign copies of his booksfor the kids (and grownup fans too). Ken (as helikes to be addressed)gave two marvelous pre-sentations aimed at twocompletely different agegroups, and kept thegroups, their teachersand other staff membersand guests thoroughlyentertained.
Proving that his talentlies hidden not justbehind the pages of abook or in computerarchives, Oppel present-
ed like a pro usingmusic, slide shows, booktrailers, skill testingquestions for book give-aways and a personaland fascinating insightinto his own history. Hewent on to describe howa book, and in somecases the illustrations(see Peg and the Yeti,illustrated by BarbaraReid) , come to be.
Hands were raised andquite interesting ques-tions asked at the closingof each session until
finally our guest had tocall an end to them so hecould move on to booksignings and the nextsession. To the thrill ofmany awestruck stu-dents (some of whom areaspiring writers) he gavenot just a signed book tocovet, but some greatwriting advice to applyto their work!
“Don’t stop writing,write about anything,then re-write and re-write again and don’tgive-up.”
Being a father of 3 kid-dos, he knows thatencouragement and pos-itivity play a HUGE partin success, no matterwhat your goals. Heshared his enthusiasmfor not only his craft, butfor children and for life,and I believe that manyof us came away thatmorning with smiles onour faces and dreamsthat writing the GreatCanadian Novel mightjust be possible.

“We have realized a great opportunity in theseindustrial hemp crops to use as major feedstock forseveral industries,” said Jan Slaski, plant/crop phys-iologist with Bioresource Technologies AlbertaInnovates-Technology Futures based in Vegreville.
Two years ago the company began operating thefirst fibre separation facility in Vegreville. Slaski hasbeen conducting hemp selection and breeding agron-omy trials, and has been very impressed with theresults. “It is the second fastest growing plant onearth,” stated Slaski, during a recent presentation atthe Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. “It can grow15 centimetres per day,” added Slaski, as well asimprove properties and texture in the soil. The over-all objective is to produce optimal quality and quan-tity of product. “The goal is to secure a supply of fibreof uniform quality that’s GMO free.”
Some of the new uses for hemp which dates back tothe 1600’s are: hemcrete insulation, bedding for ani-mals, garden mulch, low grade paper, fibre board,bio-fuel, and carbon capture. Slaski said some of theproducts which are currently on the market include:geotextiles, ropes, carpet, upholstery, paper, andvodka.
“It has the potential to become a mainstream cropopportunity for Alberta farmers,” added Slaski. “It isan attractive feedstock for several major industries.”He cited automobile textiles and construction materi-als. “A British company is already incorporated and
setting up shop in southern Alberta.”Materials engineer John Wolodko, who is the port-
folio manager for advanced materials at AlbertaInnovates-Technology Futures, explained how hempis used to make a variety of composite and construc-tion materials as well as green bio-composites.
During Wolodko’s presentation he talked abouthow a lot of new cars are made with these composite
materials. He told the audience about a leading edgeproject that was profile on the television show DailyPlanet this past spring. He got to see the ‘Kestrel’; thefirst bio-composite bodied electric car. “The proto-type is being made in Sylvan Lake.”
While Woldolko and several other researchers anddevelopers are completely sold on industrial hempand its many and varied applications and uses, hesays “success will depend on continued research anddevelopment as well as development of an integrat-ed supply chain.
A recent study completed by Alberta Agricultureand Rural Development (AARD), sponsored by
Growing Forward, a federal-provincial-territorial ini-tiative, provides a detailed overview of the industrialhemp seed and straw uses as well as an analysis ofhemp processing systems around the globe.
Nevin Rosaasen, research economist with AARD,says specific emphasis was placed on developingbenchmarks for farm level costs of production.“Knowing your costs of production and your relativeprofitability per unit of output is crucial for maintain-ing the long-term profitability of your farm busi-ness.” Rosaasen added that: “As a producer, youneed to evaluate and adapt crop production andmanagement information to fit your own operation,and above all, make better profit driven choices. Thechoices you make and the products and services youinvest in must make your operation profitable. Youcannot monitor or evaluate the effectiveness of some-thing you do not measure.”
So while there appears to be a tremendous oppor-tunity for industrial hemp production and processingin Alberta, Rosaasen adds there have been a numberof false starts over the years. “Many of the difficultieswith industry development stem from the fact thatsupply chaim relationships are not yet fully devel-oped and as a result the industry is unable to fullycommit on a longer term basis. The key factor to rem-edy this situation is finding a stable end markets,specifically for fibre based products.”
“There are significant efforts underway to furtherrefine fibre processing technology. These efforts,when combined with those tareting the developmentof markets for seed, fibre and hurd, will be of criticalimportance to the sector. If these activities help toeither increase competitiveness by reducing cost ofproduction and/or increase potential markets, thebenefits to Alberta could be significant,” addedRosaasen.
Andrew School hosted its fourth annual Harvest Dinner on Oct. 18th. Turkey and all the trimmings were pre-pared by students and staff. Teachers served while educational assistants and high school students helpedthe youngsters fill their plates. Special guests included Village of Andrew employees as well as the AndrewPlayschool students and parents. These are the happy faces of Mitchell Byrne, Brylan Kolotylo, EmilySlasynski, Ryan Leliuk, Josh Fedorvich, Abigail Marianicz, Jaxon Bryks and Jake Fesyk.

Following their evalu-ation of the communityin July, volunteer CIBjudges Lucy Chang andRoger Younker wrote:"Bruderheim is on theverge of increased eco-nomic activity. Many
newcomers are attractedby the promising jobopportunities in theindustrial heartland.Bruderheim is thuspreparing for an increasein population with manynew young families set-tling in the area. The 25year management plannow includes lookingafter the environment byproviding clean water,clean air, increased greenspaces, environmentallyfriendly facilities andservices. The local coun-cil is primed and readyto provide a friendly,sustainable living envi-ronment for those poten-tial energy sector work-ers and their families,who choose to callBruderheim their home."

October 11, 2012Property owners ordered to stop unauthorized changes towaterways
Edmonton... The Alberta government has issued anEnforcement Order under the Water Act against two propertyowners in northeastern Alberta.
In response to a public complaint, Environment andSustainable Resource Development visited a property inMackenzie County near Fort Vermillion on September 24 andfound the owners had used a backhoe to alter watercourseswithout proper authorization. Department staff notified themthat alteration of a watercourse requires approval under theWater Act and instructed them to immediately stop.On a subsequent visit, staff observed the property ownersagain working in a watercourse with a backhoe. An aerial touron October 5 uncovered fresh ground disturbances along twowatercourses on the property, indicating additional alterationshad occurred.Under the terms of the Enforcement Order, Daniel andKatherina Fehr must immediately cease any activities in ornear the watercourses without prior written authorization.Environment and Sustainable Resource Development staff willwork with other agencies to assess the damages to the water-courses. The damage assessment will determine the type andextent of remedial work that must be done to repair the water-courses.Environment and Sustainable Resource Development focuseson education, prevention and enforcement to ensure allAlbertans continue to enjoy a clean and healthy environment.When individuals or companies fail to comply with legislation,a number of options are available depending on the offence toensure compliance with environmental regulations. In thiscase, the Enforcement Order will ensure immediate action istaken to prevent further damage to the area.Media inquiries may be directed to:Shannon Nicolson
