- by Carol Marko Although the weather didn’t exactly cooperate on Saturday, August 15, the St. Michael Hotel Garden Party and Corn Roast moved indoors due to cooler temperatures. A decent sized crowd of people turned out to enjoy the feast and entertainment. Owners, Paul and Shirley Hope have faced some challenges since buying the hotel about five and a half years ago. Shirley had to undergo double mastectomy surgery about two and a half years ago, followed by rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. During that time, Paul was working a full time industrial job in Nisku and only able to operate the hotel on weekends. For a while the fantastic buffet dinners they had become known for stopped while Shirley focused on her health and Paul on his job and his wife. As Shirley’s health improved over time, they slowly began to make a comeback over the fall and winter
months of 2014. Last weekend’s Garden Party and Corn Roast was the first of what they hope will become an annual event. Shirley is feeling great, fully recovered, and itching to get back to hosting their buffet dinners as a regular event. Wishing to keep the price of their dinners reasonable, Shirley plans on offering a variety of different meals including chicken and maybe ribs. Saturday’s buffet featured hamburgers and hot dogs, baked beans, assorted salads, veggies and dip, fresh fruit platter and a variety of sweets and Jell-O for dessert. Saturday’s entertainment featured Paul Hope, Lamont husband and wife team of Larry and Kareena Zalinko and Chipman area resident, Randy Hollar. Shirley and Paul would like everyone to know the hotel is now open daily again and will be hosting their regular Friday and Saturday buffet dinners every week.

Town of Bruderheim Moving
Forward With Annexation Plans
- by Sylvia Holowach On Tuesday, August 11, Town of
Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch and CAO Patty
Podoborozny came before Lamont County Council with
a presentation outlining the purpose, progress and next
steps of their current annexation process.
The Town of Bruderheim, with the assistance of
Lamont County Municipal Intern, Jordan Panasiuk, has
been busy working through the annexation process criteria
with the objective of annexing lands directly south of the
town’s corporate limits as well as several lots on the
town’s eastern boundary. The town is looking to annex a
total of approximately 1,104 acres.
Mayor Hauch began by thanking County Council for
taking the time to hear their presentation and for sharing
Mr. Panasiuk with them. “He has really done a lot to help
us get to this stage of the process and has been of great
benefit to us”, said Hauch.
Hauch and Panasiuk then proceeded with a power
point presentation outlining the area to be annexed, a list
of residents affected by the proposed annexation and an
over view of the steps that have been taken to date.
To this point, notice has been provided to Lamont
County; all affected residents have received notice of the
plan and consultations have been undertaken with those
landowners in order to gauge support and or any concerns
they may have. Some of the concerns heard thus far
included uneasiness regarding mill rates and assessment,
limitations to land use and paying for garbage collection.
When asked how many of the affected landowners are
in favor of the annexation and how many have concerns,
Hauch replied, “About 50 – 50”.
Reeve Woldanski then asked Hauch if Bruderheim
could show justification for the need to annex so much
land. “We are looking to the future of the town and
looking ahead for the next 40 to 50 years”, said Hauch.
“With all the pipeline activity and all the exploration activ-
ity around us, we want to be certain we will be able to
grow when the time comes”, added Hauch.
Woldanski then asked what the town planned to do
about the residents who continue to have concerns or are
not in favor of the annexation. Bruderheim CAO Patty
Podoborozny, then stated, “It’s not up to the residents to
want it or not; it’s up to Council to choose and decide”.
Hauch and Podoborozny indicated the next steps are to
provide an official notice of intent to annex the lands to the
Municipal Government Board and to develop a
satisfactory transition plan mitigating the concerns of
affected land owners.
“Bruderheim will be making application to the
Municipal Government for the annexation shortly,” said
Podoborozny.
In closing, County Council was informed that once the
application is received by the Municipal Government
Board the Board will advertise the application. If an
objection is received the Board will have to conduct a
Public Hearing and based on the results and findings of
the Hearing, the Board may make changes and
recommendations to the application. If no changes or
recommendations are made by the Board, the proposal
could be sent to the Minister of Municipal Affairs where
the final step in the process would be the Minister signing
an Order in Council if approved in whole or in part.
Before breaking for a recess, Reeve Woldanski thanked
the delegation for their update and accepted their
presentation as information.

Politically Correct or Spin…
I saw a portion of the first Republican primary debate
recently and must say I find American politics far more
interesting than the bland politics here in Canada. I
especially enjoyed watching Donald Trump fire his off the
cuff shots at anyone he felt deserving.
Okay, so I’m a fan of “The Donald”. So what! I happen
to find his candor refreshing and entertaining. Be it his
reality TV shows or his run for the Presidency; he, in my
opinion, is his own man. Whether he’s firing someone on
The Apprentice, talking to the media or participating in a
debate, he says what’s on his mind, puts it out there the
way it is and stands behind it, right, wrong or indifferent.
That may be why the American media was all over him
for saying he felt America simply needs to be less
politically correct. Good for him, I say!
I’ll stick my neck out even further and say we could use
a few like him here in Canada. Why? Because I happen
to think his comment about being less politically correct
may have some merit.
The definition of politically correct is: “relating to or
supporting the use of language or conduct that deliberately
avoids giving offense”. If we’ve reached the point that we
need to plan what we’re going to say, how long will it be
before we won’t be able to say anything at all?
Anyone who’s worked in public relations or public
consultation is familiar with spin. Spin is a method of
manipulating words, or statements, in an effort to control
the way something is expressed to the public in order to
influence the way the public thinks. Those who are good
at it are often referred to as spin doctors. Believe it or not,
there are courses that actually teach this stuff - honest.
Our politicians pay truck loads of money for these spin
doctors, or aides as they call them, to ensure their political
campaigns, speeches and statements are politically correct.
In my opinion, we get nothing more than the illusion
they’re really interested in or care about issues that matter
to us. I’d rather hear what a politician is thinking in a
true, uncensored fashion than in a selective and scripted
presentation. I’d like to see someone accept responsibility
when a mistake is made instead of listening to the rhetoric
that a situation was managed or handled poorly. Enough
already, with the misdirection, diversion and selective
presentation of facts supporting one or the other’s
position. How refreshing would it be to have federal,
provincial and municipal politicians with the guts to say
what most us are already thinking?
Is it possible that we’ve been programed to be
politically correct to such an extent that we’re afraid to
exercise our thoughts or opinions publicly because we
think we may be punished, shunned or labelled?
Absolutely! That’s why those who have the grit to
voice their opinion, speak without mincing their words,
ask difficult questions and say it the way it is get labelled

(Is that politically correct enough?) That could also
explain why it’s so much easier to vent and voice an
opinion while having a cup of coffee with a few friends
than in public.
Honestly, we’re heading into a federal election and
some of the political jargon coming across our
television screens is just plain pitiful.
As much as I’d love to see someone, anyone, in this
federal campaign, be truthful with their feelings and
say it the way it is, I know it won’t happen – all for the
sake of being politically correct and handing out
the spin.
And that is why I like Trump’s style!

Temperatures Rise as County Council Gets Back To Business - by Sylvia Holowach After taking a break for the month of July
and in following with Policy 3102, Lamont County Council
returned to their regular monthly meeting schedule on Au-
gust 11, 2015.
With the temperature outdoors expected to rise above 30
degrees, little to no air circulation in council chambers
because of renovations, and Council’s addition of
numerous discussion items to the agenda, Reeve Woldanski
got things started without delay. “The sooner we start, the
sooner we’ll be finished”, said Woldanski.
Council quickly adopted the June regular meeting
minutes, the minutes of the July 21, 27 and August 5 Special
Meetings and motion to go in camera. After returning from
an hour long in camera session, Council began working
through their agenda items.
Councillor Anaka questioned why there has been
nothing done about the road signs on Twp. Rd. 580 even
though he brought the matter to the attention of public
works over a year ago. “A ratepayer talked to me about the
signs at the Farmers Appreciation Barbeque last year and
the same ratepayer talked to me about it again at the BBQ
this year. Why has nothing been done yet? Don’t these
grader operators see that signs are missing or that roads
need gravel?” questioned Anaka. CAO Robyn Singleton
directed the matter to Director of Public Works, Harold
Hamilton who was unable to provide an explanation.
Division 3 Councillor Roy Bryks took the opportunity to
ask why so many matters continue to go unaddressed. “We
have items going back to 2013 that haven’t been
completed”, said Bryks. CAO Singleton assured Council he
would review the list and provide his findings at the
September meeting.
Councillor Bryks turned up the heat in chambers even
more when he asked where the cost breakdown for the
upgrade to Rge. Rd. 160, an undeveloped road allowance
was. “I asked for a complete breakdown. I want to know
exactly how much money was spent”, said Bryks. “You
know how much. You got that at the last meeting” said
Warawa. “No I didn’t”, said Bryks. “First it was $15,000
then it was $21,000. I asked for a total. Hydro-axing, labor,
trucking, equipment costs, gravel costs, everything. I want
to know what the whole thing cost right down to the last
dollar” said Bryks.
Hamilton thought his staff could get the information
back to Council that afternoon but later realized the
information would not be forthcoming. The item was
referred to the next meeting and a detailed breakdown is to
be available at that time.
Bryks then queried the construction of Rge. Rd. 185
north of Twp. Rd. 562. “How much has been spent on this
road so far and what is the purpose of building such a wide
road for only a couple of miles. If it’s not going to be built
all the way to Highway 45, then what good is it? What is
the standard road width in the county” he asked.
Director of Public Works, Harold Hamilton said the
construction of the road had been on the books for a couple
of years and the standard road width in the county was an
8 meter top. “If the standard is 8 meters, then why is this
road 10 meters? Not 5, not 8, not 9 but 10 meters; 33 feet,
and why was the dust control done for 500 meters? Who’s
paying for the dust control? The road is in my division and
I want to know how much has been spent, how much is
going to be spent, what the agreement for dust control is
and what the reason for building such a wide road for only
a couple of miles is”, said Bryks. The item was referred to
the next council meeting.
Councillor Malica then brought up a complaint he
received from a ratepayer about garbage dumped in his
field. “He has shingles, bags, papers, all kinds of stuff
dumped there. And I got a text this morning about the
landfill and a classified ad in the paper. They’re charging
$80.00 a metric tonne for unsorted large loads and $100.00
for propane bottles over 100 pounds”, said Malica. “What
is there to sort? Garbage is garbage”, said Warawa.
“We pay 62% of the requisition and have only one vote
on the Commission. I asked our last CAO if there was
anything we could do to get another sitting member on the
Commission a year ago and still have no answer” said
Bryks. “From what I can see, the dump is costing us
money. We have to send the guys out to pick up garbage
all over the place”, said Deputy Reeve Warawa. “I have to
agree. It doesn’t look like there is much benefit being
provided to rural residents or urban residents, for that
matter, right now” said Reeve Woldanski.
After some humorous back and forth remarks about the
proper reference being landfill not dump, the item was
referred back to administration for further review with a
report due at the next meeting.
Councillor Anaka then questioned if the renovation to
the public works building was complete and if the
contractor has been paid. “Staff is complaining about noisy
work stations because of the ventilation system”, he said.
A motion was made that in addition to the sound study
staff is doing, administration is to review the design and
installation of the ventilation system and have the results
available to council as soon as possible.
Council wasted no time addressing remaining agenda
items and with Council Chambers being exceptionally
warm and uncomfortable, Reeve Woldanski adjourned the
meeting shortly before 4 p.m. The next meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2015.

- by Sylvia Holowach Lamont County Policy 5102 - Sale of
Crushed Gravel/Pit Run to Ratepayers was up for
discussion at the August 11 council meeting.
Director of Public Works, Harold Hamilton
informed council that according to the Policy
Statement, Lamont County can sell crushed gravel or
pit run, to a maximum of 30 tonnes per ratepayer
residence, for their personal use, subject to availability
of supply.
As of late, public works administration has received
numerous calls from ratepayers concerned that in order
to qualify for the purchase of gravel, their “Residence
must be in Lamont County”.
It has become apparent Lamont County has a
number of producers who own and farm land in the
county, but do not reside in the county. These
ratepayers feel they should have the same eligibility to
purchase gravel for grain bin pads, driveways, etc. as
ratepayers who reside within the county borders.
Public works administration recommended the sale
of gravel should be made available to all ratepayers
who own land in the county regardless of the location
of their residence and asked that Council make the
appropriate changes to the Policy so the sale of gravel
could proceed.
As Council started discussing how the Policy could
be changed to accommodate the request, they soon
realized it was not as easy as originally thought.
Deputy Reeve Warawa questioned how much gravel
the county currently sells through the program on a
yearly basis. Hamilton estimated the total sale to be
approximately 2,200 to 2,800 tonnes per year. Warawa
then asked how the sale could be limited to a producer
who owns numerous parcels of land. “We have to be
able to keep it fair and make sure we have enough
gravel on hand,” said Warawa.
Director of Planning & Community Services,
Stephen Hill suggested the Policy could be changed to
read 30 tonnes per titled parcel. Councillor Anaka
quickly pointed out if the sale was by titled parcel, a
producer with ten parcels could qualify to purchase
30,000 tonnes, needed or not. Anaka did not think it
would be fair to ratepayers who own smaller amounts
of land and shared Warawa’s concern about having an
ample amount of gravel on hand.
Anaka also questioned how the purchases of gravel,
regardless of amount, should be paid for. He reminded
Council about a situation experienced a couple of years
ago where a trucker picked up gravel, said it was for
his nine neighbours, paid for it in cash and the county
found out a short time later the gravel had actually
been delivered and sold to a site outside the county.
Hamilton suggested billing ratepayers for their
gravel purchases. Reeve Woldanski quickly countered
that suggestion by saying “We’d probably never
collect”.
Warawa suggested the best way to ensure payment
would be by cheque. “If a trucker picks up for his nine
neighbours, he should have a cheque from each
neighbour proving he is hauling for them” said
Warawa.
CAO Robyn Singleton recommended the matter be
deferred back to administration for further research
and be returned with revisions in time for the
September meeting.
Council accepted the recommendation unanimously.
Flaws Discovered in County Policy
Re: Sale of Crushed Gravel/Pit Run to Ratepayers
KEEP KIDS SAFE
Know the Rules
Make sure you know and follow these school bus safety rules for motorists. It’s not only smart; it’s the law!
Yellow Flashing Lights signal that the bus is getting ready to stop and load or unload children. This means you should slow down and prepare to stop.
Red Flashing Lights & Extended Stop Arms signal that the bus has stopped, and children will be entering or exiting the bus. This means you should stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn and the bus resumes moving.
As always, be alert and watch out for children whenever you are behind the wheel.
Page 8 Elk Island Triangle, Thursday, August 20, 2015
Elk Island Triangle, Thursday, August 20, 2015 Page 9
Follow these important rules on the school bus for your safety and the safety of your fellow passengers.
Arrive at your bus stop at least five minutes early. Running to catch the bus is very dangerous.
Stand at least three giant steps away from the curb when you see the bus approaching your bus stop.
Stay put until the bus stops, the door opens and the driver tells you it’s okay to enter the bus.
Always use the handrails when entering and exiting the bus. Never walk behind the bus. If you must cross the street, cross
in front of the bus. Walk on the sidewalk alongside the bus at least five giant steps before crossing in front of it, making sure you and the driver can see one another.
Stay seated the entire time the bus is moving. Avoid yelling or loud talking that could distract the driver.
Get On Board
With a Safe Ride

A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result, safety concerns especially concerning transportation to and from school is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand. Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the pro-spect of leaving Mom or Dad behind at the curb can spark mixed feel-ings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly. Acquainting children with school bus safety and protocol can ease first day jitters. Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no sidewalk is pre-
sent, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic. Wait for the bus at the designated stop. Don’t wander away. Do not go into the street while waiting for the bus to arrive. Do not roughhouse or run around with friends while waiting for the
bus to arrive. Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street until the bus
stops and opens the door. Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway. Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down. Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of the bus window. Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items. Keep voices down so not to distract the driver. Listen to the driver. Do not throw things on the bus. Exit the bus slowly and do not push. If you must cross the street when exiting the bus, do so in front of
the bus so the driver can see you.

Elk Island Triangle, Thursday, August 20, 2015 Page 11
Parents can go over these rules again and again. On the first day of school, some parents prefer to let their children ride the bus to school and then the parents meet the children at the school to watch the boys and girls exit. This also reassures the children that they are safe riding the bus. The first day of school may be full of new things, but children can acquaint themselves with school bus safety and grow accustomed to riding one each day.

- by Carol Marko Alberta Country Music Legend, Randy
Hollar, grew up on a farm in the Viking area, “riding the
school bus and milking cows”. He left home at the age of
14 to follow the Canadian rodeo circuit, breaking broncs,
and later as a professional bull rider for nine years. He
won the long go-round at the rodeo in Cheyenne,
Wyoming in 1973.
A true cowboy, Randy has spent his life on roundups,
cattle drives and rodeos. He is also a farrier by trade for
the past 30 years.
A great Wilf Carter fan, Hollar began singing and
yodelling Wilf’s songs before he went to school. For the
past 25 years, he has been travelling and performing them
with the Alberta Country Music Legends from west to east
coast across Canada and some parts of the U.S. including
Montana. He has performed at the Calgary Stampede,
Winspear, Dow Centre in Fort Saskatchewan, Arden
Theatre in St. Albert, Festival Place in Sherwood Park and
Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose.
Today, he makes his home on a farm in the Chipman
area, where he raises Belgian draft horses.
This year, Randy was presented the Bev Munro Award.
It reads, “This Annual Award is to Honour an Individual who
has Dedicated Years to Promoting Country Music, Entertaining
and Supporting Alberta Talent and Traditional Country Music.

Alberta RCMP have received a significant number of reports in the past several weeks from residents who have received phone calls from individuals claiming to be from Canada Revenue Agency. The callers claim that the potential victim owes money in taxes which must be paid as soon as possible. The phone calls are high pressure in nature and, in some cases; the victim is threatened with arrest if the amounts are not paid. This scam is not new and it resurfaces every year during tax season. The relatively recent practice of “call spoofing” over the internet has breathed new life into this crime by making the call display of victims falsely read either a local number or the official number of the Canada Revenue Agency. Here are a few safety tips to assist: · No legitimate government agency or business will demand payment in gift cards or prepaid credit cards. These methods are used
by criminals in order to hide their activities from police; · If you receive a call from someone claiming you owe money, get as much information from them as possible and tell them you will call them back. Find the government agencies’ phone number through a trusted source (phone book, or official website) and call the depart-ment back. Don’t trust the phone number or email from the caller until you have verified that they are who they say they are; · Do not share any personal information with the caller, such as confirm name, social insurance number, address, etc.… The best protection from scammers is to learn how to resist being pushed into a decision regardless of how persuasive or aggressive the scammer may be. Arm yourself and the vulnerable people in your life by learning how to recognize and protect yourself from fraud at Canada’s Anti-Fraud Centre. www.antifraudcentre.ca and http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/scrty/frdprvntn/menu-eng.html.
