4 hard-working years couldn’t save Littlewood from UCP wave BY JOHN MATHER Jessica Littlewood’s tenure as the MLA for Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville came to an abrupt end last night. United Conservative Party candidate Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk defeated Littlewood. From the time the first polls started reporting to having three quarter of the polls reporting, Armstrong Homeniuk held steady tallying more than 50 per cent of the votes total. Armstrong Homeniuk was swept in as the Jason Kenney-led UCP steam engine rolled across the province, throwing the governing NDP party out after only one term – a first in the province’s history. Provincial television networks declared a UCP majority just 40 minutes after the polls closed. Early polls from Two Hills and other rural areas of the constituency put Armstrong Homeniuk into the early lead and she never looked back.
In Fort Saskatchewan, where Littlewood won big in 2015, the incumbent only won five polls and she was shut out in Vegreville. The other smaller towns of Bruderheim, Lamont, Mundare, Chipman and Andrew were solidly behind Armstrong Homeniuk. Alberta Party candidate Marvin Olsen attracted a little more than 13 per cent of the votes to finish in third place. The remaining candidates, Malcolm Stinson of the Freedom Conservative Party; Shane Ladouceur of the Alberta Independence Party; Rebecca Trotter, of the Green Party of Alberta; and Ron Malowany of the Alberta Advantage Party each polled little more than one per cent of the ballots cast. Turnout on election day was surprisingly low following record numbers coming out to the advance poll said returning officer for the constituency, Howard Huston. The advanced polls across the con-
stituency were very high with 5,423 voting in Fort Saskatchewan, while 1,530 voted at the advance poll in Vegreville and 432 voted at the twoday mobile poll in Lamont. Of those advance votes, in Fort Saskatchewan 508 were out of the electoral district; in Vegreville 150 were outside the electoral district; and in Lamont 150 were outside the electoral district. Those ballots outside of the electoral division won’t be counted until today and could take several days to count. “That’s a big turnout for us,“ he said. “We have about 36,000 eligible voters and we’ve had close to 8,000 votes before the main election day.” The total vote count was hovering near the 50 per cent mark as the paper went to press. He added some advance voters would travel outside the electoral district by voting at polls in Sherwood
Park or Vermilion. Those ballots won’t be tallied until today. None of the candidates were available for interviews prior to going to press.

Opinion Ugly reality of modern politics on full display in Alberta The best thing about last night’s election results might just be that it puts an end to the nasty campaigning by Premier Rachel Notley, with an assist going to UCP leader Jason Kenney. With the Premier’s four year economic record in Alberta being so terrible, including over 100,000 lost oilfield jobs, it was really the only road for her to take… and she did it with gusto. A name calling and fear mongering campaign is a vicious cycle. Once someone starts, it is practically impossible for the other person to take the high road. Self-defence gets them into the game, and retaliation is necessary to try to claim victory. Although the defame game started long before the election was called, it got ramped up on March 19 when Premier Notley announced Alberta’s 30th Provincial election to be held on April 16, and she did it smack-dab in the middle of her weakest support Calgary. Within minutes of calling the election, she accused Kenney of cheating to win the UCP leadership, and said after he was caught he lied. She added that he is a right wing extremist, intimated he was a racist, and that he kowtows to fringe groups. According to Notley, Jason Kenney has a nasty record of intolerance and isn’t comfortable with strong women. With those comments she started the ugliest election campaign in Alberta history. Yet, after accusing Kenney of all this, Notley says: “the politics of love and hope and optimism always trump the politics of anger, division and fear.” Wow, the gall. Kenney’s barbs at the Premier mostly took the form of pointing out her economic record. Really, not much else mattered as it turned out. But he pounded on the drum very hard talking about 7 % unemployment, including a 48,000 drop in full time jobs (since November 2018 alone). Kenny blamed Notley for ruining multiple pipeline deals, not fighting hard enough for Alberta against NDP crony Premier Horgan in British Columbia, ignoring the Tarsands Campaign to landlock Alberta oil (which he said was busy working to keep her in power), and siding with PM Justin Trudeau on carbon tax issues and anti-oil campaigns. Hopefully with the outcome of yesterday’s election we can all be friends now. Or, at least civil, like true Canadians and Albertans. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Unleash the shackles on our energy exports Canada can, and should, supply our responsibly produced energy to the rest of the world. Being allowed to do so would allow us to obtain fair value for our natural resources, and help the world meet growing energy demand. Yet we continue to impede on our own ability to get our energy products to market. Market access constraints, along with regulatory and fiscal policy barriers, are holding us back. Globally, one billion people do not have electricity and three billion people use fuels like wood or biomass to cook, impacting their health, quality of life and environment. By 2040, the International Energy Agency (IEA) projects there will be another 1.7 billion people in the world, mostly added to areas still pulling themselves out of poverty.
Along with this population growth, global energy demand is expected to increase by 27 per cent. Oil and natural gas will remain the dominant sources of energy well into the future. Canada has an opportunity to meet this demand with responsible energy produced the Canadian way. Demand for natural gas is expected to increase 43 per cent in the next two decades, and by 2040, the IEA projects it will supply one-quarter of total energy consumed in the world. Canada should capitalize on the coming growth for LNG, not only for our own benefit, but also for an important global benefit. Canadian LNG can play a key role in reducing global GHG emissions by displacing coal-fired electricity generation in China, India, Southeast
Asia, and parts of Europe. Seventy per cent of China’s emissions – which account for more than one-quarter of global emissions – are generated from coal-fired power production. Canada’s contribution to reducing global GHGs must be recognized domestically and internationally and count toward our commitment under the Paris Agreement through offset credits. Article 6 of the Paris Agreement must be finalized to enable countries to share offset credits, called Internationally Transferable Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), between participating nations. This was debated extensively in December 2018, but the United Nations Conference of the Parties only reached draft decisions. Continued on Page 5

FROM WHERE I SIT Letter: Unleash oil Time well spent
Continued from Page 4
BY HAZEL ANAKA Since my days as a member on the Lakeland Health Authority board receiving meeting packages we’ve had a fax machine. In those days, the packages came at night when phone rates were cheaper. Nothing like being woken up from a deep sleep because of the damn machine churning out dozens and dozens of pages. We also began paying Telus for what they call Smart Ring. The idea was that by differentiating between the regular ring of a telephone and the two quick rings for the fax machine, we could avoid hearing the horrific fax squeal while simultaneously interrupting an incoming fax. And so it was since the mid 1990s. That is until during our construction project. We lost telephone service more than once including one outage lasting about a week. We had service calls and repairs done here and a couple miles away. We had trouble shooters. And yet I asked our electrician to include a fax jack in my office. Turns out that was going backwards, technically speaking. Who still uses fax machines? Other than to receive ‘unbelievable travel deals’ or pitches to subscribe to something or ink cartridge sales letters. With wireless printers, cameras and scanning capability even on smart phones, faxes are toast.
Finally, today I called Telus to get rid of the smart ring. No problem, said Jacqueline, it’ll be done later today. Unfortunately, we won’t save a dime because of how the options are bundled. Eventually, that fax number will disappear from the phone books. While I had her on the line I asked for more help. How could we block some nuisance calls? Turns out it’s quite simple despite being a multi-step process. Unfortunately, the process is slightly different for US, 800, private and blocked calls. You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be doing that next time Michigan or Texas or Quebec calls. Oh, and how can we get a few more rings before the answering machine kicks in? It’s damn near impossible to get to the phone in time. We can blame the bigger house or the fact we’re not as quick as we used to be. Three rings are just too short especially if you’re not standing right there or waiting to see
call display---could be Michigan calling— before answering. So how does this mundane customer irritant warrant a whole column? For one, I think it’s a pain in the butt shared by most people. Roy insists on keeping the landline as long as he’s on council. Fine, but some of the baggage that comes with the service is maddening. The Telus woman said they are powerless against the bad guys who somehow use what appear to be local numbers to trick people into answering. Two, if sharing the news that help is available for the asking, we take back some of our power as consumers. We can stop complaining and act. This isn’t totally a good news story, though. Several attempts to screen an (allegedly) Quebec number failed. So, it looks like I’ll be calling back for more help. Persevering to remove these irritants should be time well spent, from where I sit.

It is time for Canada to unlock the potential of our energy industry to achieve full domestic and global benefits. The world needs more Canada. The path forward must include a clear government commitment to resource development, a competitive fiscal environment, and an efficient regulatory system enabling new projects to be approved and constructed in a timely manner. CAPP is calling for the government to withdraw Bill C-48, which propos-
es a tanker moratorium on a significant portion of Canada’s West Coast. It would block Canadian petroleum products from traveling those waters and getting out to new markets. Ironically, Bill C-48 will only block the export of Canadian-produced petroleum products; it cannot stop foreign vessels from carrying the same products through the same waters. Bill C-48 also creates new barriers to Indigenous economic opportunity and self-determination. Groups such as the Eagle Spirit Chiefs Council, the Indian Resource Council, and the National Coalition of Chiefs have all expressed concerns. The federal government’s proposed Bill C-
69 – under Senate review – is also problematic. This overhaul of the regulatory approvals process will only make the system more complicated, unless significant changes are made to Bill C-69. New pipelines and the expansion of existing infrastructure are critical to the future of the industry. Market access constraints must be resolved. We need to seize opportunities to diversify Canada’s oil and natural gas markets. The bottom line is, we need to be competitive on a global scale to achieve the things we all value – responsibly produced resources that benefit Canada and the world. Stacey Hatcher

Fate of Andrew High School nears Maureen Sullivan The recommendation on how to deal with the issue of student equity of the Senior High Program at Andrew was presented to the Board of Trustees on April 15, and will be posted online at the EIPS website. It will be discussed at the Trustee Meeting on April 18 before any decision will be made. A small but vocal crowd of about 30 people came out to Andrew School on April 11, to hear the fate of the Andrew School Senior High Program. Due to low attendance the school district is reviewing programming for the senior high students living in the Andrew School attendance boundary. The public was invited to ask questions and offer additional feedback. In the fall of 2018, the
Board of Trustees directed the Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) administration to conduct public consultations with the Andrew Community on how to address the issue of equity of education in the senior high grades at Andrew School. Mark Liguori, Superintendent of Elk Island Public Schools led the discussion on the update. He spoke about what they heard at the public consultations, about the next steps that will be taken and what it will looks like. Liguori reported that the decision to look at the options of the Senior High Program at Andrew School came from him, as part of his job to make sure that all students across the school board were receiving the same access to education.
"Despite the community and despite the staff, this is not being met for the students at Andrew," said Liguori. The students of Andrew School spoke overwhelmingly of the need for change during the public consultation. They wanted teachers and classmates available in classes not independent study, they wanted the ability to have a choice in options presented, and the ability to have a larger peer group and an opportunity to play sports. The current grade 11 class wanted the status quo and the ability to graduate from Andrew School, according to Liguori. The possible closure of the school and the long bus rides for some students if the school closed were the main concerns of the community mem-
Mason Oshuts, Erik Talyoc, Carter Schickerowsky, Hunter Neufeld and Frederick Farrell all attended the career fair at Lamont High on April 12.
Students consider their futures at Lamont High fair MAUREEN SULLIVAN Students and parents were at a Career/Postsecondary Fair in the Lamont High gym on April 11, from 2:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m. Information was provided on community businesses, careers, next generation initiatives and programs, post secondary programs, career planning and up and coming careers. Students were able to ask what was needed to begin a career in certain occupations as well as what occupations were available in certain fields. They were also
interested in what programs the various colleges provided. Brayden Starko, a student at Lamont said, "it's good to get to know what education is needed for a career. I was really interested in what a millwright does." Mayor Bill Skinner was representing the Town of Lamont and advertising some summer jobs available. "It is never too early to get the youth interested in civics," said Skinner. It was a consensus among those presenting at the career fair that the students were asking
good questions and were very interested in what was presented. Carolyn Olechow, from ATB said, "I am impressed with the students. They already know a lot and are asking great questions about different careers." The Town of Lamont, ATB, Shell Scotford, Standard General, RAP program and Lamont Health Care, were represented as well as Norquest College, King's College, Lakeland College, MacEwan University and MC College.
bers attending. "What is wrong with shipping more students here?' asked Andrew Mayor Gary Leppek. "Why can't the students from Mundare come here instead of Vegreville?' "We already lose 50 per cent of our students from Mundare to the Catholic school board when they go to Vegreville, there are
not enough students left to be sustainable and we will not take students away from an existing functioning school," said Liguori. Trustee Colleen Holowaychuk said that this is not an easy decision to be considering, but the decision will be made based on what the board thinks is best for the student.
"A decision has not been made at this time," said Holowaychuk. The Board of Trustees can either approve the recommendation, not approve the recommendation, or ask for some other action to be looked at. If the recommendation is approved anther public meeting will be held.

Readings show good air quality BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County had the highest percentage of low risk air quality levels during the first quarter of 2109. In its quarterly report issued last week, the Fort Air Partnership said the seven metering stations the partnership operates across the region, was in the low range across its reporting area for the majority of the period
from Jan. 1 to March 31. With 2,131 hours monitored in the quarter, Lamont County had a low risk level 89.11 per cent of the time. Levels crept into the moderate range 10.79 per cent of the hours monitored, and it was in the high risk area .09 per cent of the time. In Bruderheim, the air was monitored for 2,092 hours and a low risk
level was achieved for 86.28 per cent of the time. The air quality was in the moderate range 13 per cent of the time. The Fort Air Partnership’s portable air monitoring unit, which has been operating in Bon Accord, will be moved to Chipman in the next couple of weeks, to provide air quality readings for the eastern side of Lamont County.

Hemp questions answered BY JOHN MATHER Representatives of Canadian Rockies Hemp presented their plans for the decortation plant in Bruderheim to the public in Bruderheim Apr. 15. A crowd of more than 60 listened as Canadian Rockies Hemp chief executive officer, Aaron Barr outlined their proposal to build the facility on 75 acres of land purchased just south of the community. The public meeting is the first step as the company works to receive its development permit, which will allow it to break ground and construct the facility that will initially employ about 10 people. “The high ground at the back of the property will be where we store bales of hemp,” he said. “We ended up going with a 40,000 square foot steel building.” He pointed out how the drainage would flow across the property, which brought the first concerns from some in the crowd. The drainage runs from the south to the north across the property and exits near the south residence on the east side of Bruderheim. “We’ll be putting in three storm water reservoirs to help ease drainage,” Barr added. “That’s three big elements we’re working on with our civil engineer.” He added there would be a tarred driveway into the property, but Alberta Transportation wants them to hard surface adding turning lanes, so traffic isn’t impeded. Canadian Rockies also plans to grow about 10 acres of hemp on the property, once they are operating, and Barr said the plants would grow seven to 10 feet in height. Barr replied, when asked, that there would be five to 10 trucks per day hauling bales of hemp into the plant once it was operational. When questioned about light at the property, he said there would be some yard lights around the plant, but they would be high efficiency LED lights.
He told the crowd the plant would initially have two processing lines capable of handling up to 10,000 acres, but eventually he wanted to see the plant grow to four lines to handle 40 – 50,000 acres. Barr reported the construction would be fairly quick. “Once the ground thaws and the water is gone we’d like to start construction,” he said. “Earthworks and the building construction would take roughly a month each and about two months for the interior of the building. We’d like to be operational by this fall.” He replied to a question on traffic that the biggest manpower on the site would be when about 10-15 electricians descend to finish the interior work. The earthworks would probably be maybe three or four pieces of equipment for a month. Barr said Alberta Transportation had approved the entry way and as the company moved through the development permits, the ponds would be submitted for approval under the Water Act. Town Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny told the crowd the open house was the first phase of approving the development permit. “It is an approved use under our land use bylaws.” She agreed topography tests had been done on the land to ensure any major flooding could be controlled. “The ponds,” said Barr, “Are designed for a 100 year flood level. We’re not going to be adding any more water. “There are flood and drainage concerns on the property right now,” said Barr. “And our storage ponds will actually be part of the solution.” Barr worked to ensure the crowd the company would be around for the long haul. “Our company is built around sustainable farming and sustainable development.”
When asked about dust or noise levels when operational, Barr pointed out the dust is a vital ele-

7,255 perogies made at St. Michael for two fundraisers; over 70 volunteers MAUREEN SULLIVAN In St Michael over 70 volunteers came together on April 2 to make 7,255 perogies for two fundraisers to be held in St. Michael Hall. Volunteers ranged in age from 35-96 years of age and within three hours all the perogies were made and the volunteers enjoyed a homemade lunch, fellowship and camaraderie reported Mae Adamyk the Events Coordinator for the Hall. "We thank our peroghy queen Emily for
making the dough and filling. All the volunteers are very much appreciated," said Adamyk. The first fundraiser on April 13, was a dinner and silent auction to raise funds for new church floors for St. Michael the Archangel Church. "We are at about half of our goal and are still getting donations. We displayed the new floor tiles on the stage" reported Adamyk. The second fundraiser on May 4 is for the Lamont Veselka Dancers.
7,255 perogies were made by volunteers at St. Michael Hall for two upcoming fundraisers.

Permits needed for fires in County BY JOHN MATHER While there are no fire bans currently in place in Lamont County, fire chief David Zayonce has the fire brigades across the County ready for action. “We do our regular training, but at this time of year we make sure to review our methods for battling grassfires or wildfires that may occur.” “We’ve been blessed with good weather so far this year,” he said. “Everything is drying out nicely and I’m feeling very optimistic and hope we have a slower season. “I just hope we can avoid the type of catastrophe like we had last year.” He said anything could start a fire, however, such as people riding an ATV or someone tossing a cigarette butt out a window. “Our detachment crews all review our wildfire training and make sure our wildfire specific equipment is serviced and ready to
go.” He added the department would be doing ongoing information sessions through the County’s FireSmart program. “It helps landowners, anybody who’s a resident, we come and do an assessment at the property,” he said of the FireSmart initiative. “We suggest if there’s a wood pile to move it to a less opportunistic location for fire to spread. We point out areas that could be trimmed back for safety.” Zayonce said any resident wanting an inspection can contact the department and appointments will be arranged. “It’s designed to give fire less of a chance to do any damage,” He added additional members of the department would be attending an upcoming FireSmart assessment course. “We have several people trained already, but the more of us trained in the program the better.” Zayonce points out to prevent fires homeown-
ers can reduce hazards by keeping grass trimmed, make sure they have fire permits, don’t discard cigarettes from windows and take care where you ride ATV so hot exhausts aren’t on dry grass. He said as of April 1, fire piles can only be four feet by four feet. “That’s just to reduce the size of the fire burning,” he said. “Also, under the fire permit, there must be someone of age in charge of the fire.” “People need to be aware of their surroundings, when they have a fire,” he added. Fire permits are available in the county free of charge. Residents can easily go online to the County’s website and apply for one. “It asks for some simple information about location of the burn and residents legal land location.” The municipalities in Lamont County have different regulations pertaining to having fires in the towns and villages.

Spring clean-up throughout county MAUREEN SULLIVAN Within Lamont County each village and town in the county has its own rules and criteria when it comes to getting rid of waste. According to the St. Michaels Landfill website, there are simple rules to follow. To use the environmentally friendly site: http://www.stmichaellandfill.ca/ The Town of Lamont has garbage and recycling on Wednesdays and yard waste bins will be picked up weekly starting May 8. Larger items like tree branches can be brought to the compost pile. Bruderheim has garbage and recycling on Thursdays, with recycling drop off of household batteries and old cellphones at the town office. A community compost pile is available for grass clippings, leaves and branches of inch in diameter or less. Andrew has garbage and recycling on Tuesdays. Yard waste goes to the Landfill and Tree Dump, located about a mile out of town, they are open the second Sat of the month until noon, but are currently closed because the road is flooded. Chipman has garbage pick up on Tuesdays but no recycling. Yard
waste can be put in several movable green bin trailers located throughout the town and larger branches can be put in the town compost. In Mundare the recycling is every Tuesday and garbage is every Thursday. Town folks are encouraged to mulch but can put yard waste in the garbage bins or take larger stuff to the St. Michael Landfill. All loads going into the St. Michael Landfill must be secured and tarped. Proof that you live in Lamont County must be provided to get any of the 'no charge' services. (Proof of residency: a copy of your tax notice, power bill, natural gas bill or water bill with your municipal or civic address and or legal description will work.) The Landfill site operates a basic recycling program that includes antifreeze, batteries and household batteries, concrete, E-waste, fluorescent bulbs, herbicide & pesticide, agricultural chemical bottles, metal, propane tanks, tree branches, tires, waste oil, waste oil containers and filters, and White Goods like freezers and refrigerators with the doors and lids removed.

36 years of working nights, Nancy Ducker looks forward to fun in the sun MAUREEN SULLIVAN After 36 years of working nights, Nancy Ducker is looking forward to some time in the sun. Co-workers, management, friends and residents came out to Beaverhill Lodge on Mar. 29, to celebrate Ducker's retirement. Ducker started with the Lamont County Housing Foundation in 1982. Some of the changes she has seen over the years are: residents family members have now become residents themselves; the renovations of Beaverhill
Lodge in 1995; and then the building of the new lodge in 2017. When asked what she is looking forward to in retirement Ducker replied, "Babysitting my granddaughter, enjoying my life, friends and time off." When Ducker started work in 1982, a gallon of gas was 91 cents, or 20 cents a liter, Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister, interest rates were 11.5 per cent and the hit songs were Eye of the Tiger by Survivor and Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson.

Bruderheim CAO makes Alberta history: first woman to receive annual award 6 4 0 4 2 6 6 780
BY JOHN MATHER Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny has made Alberta history after being the first women named the Association of Science and Engineering Technology of Alberta’s technologist of the year. She received the award during the ASET annual general meeting at the Hotel McDonald in Edmonton, Apr. 10. “My background is in surveying,” she said. “I went to NAIT more than 30 years ago to study.” In making the announcement, the MC at the event, association president Tom Wilson, delved into Podoborozny’s background. She is the past president of the Alberta Public Works Association and a director of the Canadian
Public Works Association. “Yeah, I guess I made history as the first women receiving the award,” she said Apr. 15. “Since the inception of the award, it has always been a man.” The award she said is for technologists involved in their community and how they go above and beyond. “It was pretty humbling to receive,” she said. “Lately I’ve been helping the association by mentoring young women who are starting out in technology and how to work up in the system. She added the nomination came from a colleague from Red Deer, with whom she had worked on volunteer projects with first nations initiatives and emergency management. “I was quite humbled
he had nominated me,” she said. “The work the award refers to is all volunteer,” she added. “Because I’m now an administrator, every year I teach surveying or I contribute to the association by giving speeches or mentoring students. That’s how I keep my Certified Engineering Technologist status up to date and current.” She said most of the award recipients were people who have moved up into management positions and have spent a number of years in the field, but she added they also have awards for young technologists. The objective of the award, said Wilson, is to showcase publically an ASET member who has demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism, and made a significant contribution
to technology. Wilson went on to state the criteria used by the selection committee included the nominee had shown, “the importance of organization, creativity, innovation and community involvement.” Podoborozny began her career, after graduating NAIT from the surveying technology program in 1986, working for Alberta Transportation. She then worked for Strathcona County, before coming to Bruderheim. She later returned to NAIT and studied Business Management and then in 2015, she graduated form the University of Alberta with her National Certificate in Local Authority Administration Level 2.
