Promising industrial development prompts Lamont County council to propose partial closure of Range Road 201 Michelle Pinon Editor

Possible industrial development was the driving force behind Lamont County council’s decision to close a portion, (approximately two kilometres) of Range Road 201 between Highway 15 and Township Road 560.

On April 11, council passed first reading of Bylaw 772.17 “for the purpose of closing public travel and creation of a transportation utility corridor” according to Section 22 of the Municipal Government Act, Chapter M-26.1, Revised Statutes of Alberta 2000 as amend-

ed.

Lamont County Chief Administrative Officer Robyn Singleton read aloud the following statement: “Lamont County is in discussions with several parties regarding industrial development that would bring significant jobs and tax revenue to the county.

“Providing efficient transportation infrastructure is important to any party interested in building in the area. The proposed bylaw will help make this area more attractive to potential business.”

As indicated on a map of the affected roadway, there are several oil/gas

battery and well sites and two residential properties in the area that encompasses six quarter sections of land.

As well, there is a CN rail crossing on the south end of Range Road 201 and a CP Rail Crossing at the north end of Range Road 201 between Highway 15 and Township Road 560. The land is already zoned heavy industrial, and the proposed bylaw would accommodate drainage, pipelines, electrical distribution lines, etc.

Singleton said Lamont County will be officially notifying affected landowners and Alberta Transportation of the proposed bylaw, and will

advertise first reading of the proposed bylaw in The Lamont Leader.

Brushing is underway along Township Road 560 west of Range Road 201, and Twp. Rd. 560 will be widened and reconstructed this summer. Back on March 7, Lamont County Council awarded the contract for Township Road 560 construction to Location Cats Ltd., for $2,767,715.

According to accounts payable cheques for March 2017, Lamont County paid Brownlee LLP $714,018.68 to acquire the necessary easements to proceed with construction of Township Road 560.

The affected portion of Range Road 201, highlighted in magenta, is the area slated for closure.

Wet weather conditions continue to slow down progress Michelle Pinon Editor

Even though construction of the Alberta Midland Railway Terminal has been slowed up by the wet weather and recent snow, it continues to proceed north of Highway 15 adjacent to Range

Road 201.

According to company spokesman Shawn Smith, construction began on August 16, 2016. He explained that: “Aberta Midland Railway Terminal Phase 1 is designed primarily for the storage of private rail car fleets used by rail shippers in Alberta’s

Industrial Heartland. In addition, the terminal has future plans to develop trans-loading (truck to rail or rail to truck), and logistics services.

The design is not a loop, but rather a series of leads used for switching and for CN’s efficient arrivals and departures from the yard, plus two separate stub ended yard storage tracks. Canadian Northern Plains Rail Services is also planning mobile rail car repair services on the site.”

He went on to say, “Our estimated cost remains in the $30 million range for Phase 1 of our project and we are working hard towards

Right now our focus is applying subballast to the grading work we have completed

so far, and in early May we will begin track construction.”

The company continues to work with CN and Lamont County to “drive interest” in our site and in the region. “We

believe that the existence of a rail terminal location in Lamont County will attract single car shippers in the agricultural and energy industries.”

Agricultural Service Board addresses drainage concern Michelle Pinon Editor Flooding may soon be a thing of the past for Leonard Rauser.

After nearly two years of lobbying for a drainage channel, the Lamont County Agricultural Service Board (ASB) has supported a recommendation to resolve the issue.

On April 5, members of the ASB passed a motion that the respective landowner be responsible for maintenance of the drainage channel once it is completed.

Lamont County Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak told ASB members the county crew will be constructing the channel to correct the problem along Range Road 175. “The channel will be on Rauser’s property or parallel to it,” pointed out Eleniak.

“So the county is going to do that on private property?” questioned ASB chairman Dan Warawa. “Yes,” replied Eleniak. “I’m asking you to get that in writing that the county will not be held responsible for future maintenance,” stated Warawa. “We will have to get an easement, and that will be one of the stipulations,” stated Eleniak.

Although a county crew will be doing the work, Eleniak said he did not

have a cost estimate at the time.

However, Chief Administrative Officer Robyn Singleton, later pegged the project at approximately $10,000. Singleton added that the job would have to fit into the list of this year’s road maintenance projects.

In regards to unauthorized drainage, Eleniak said Rauser and the adjacent landowners will be developing their own plan in that regard.

Rauser said he was “quite happy” members of the ASB approved the drainage channel. “It’s a win-win for everybody.” He said the drainage channel would alleviate flooding, and was glad a workable solution could be found.

Rauser said it had been two years since he brought the issue to the attention of the county. It wasn’t until after a presentation by representatives with Alberta Environment on March 1, that the roles and responsibilities regarding licensed and unlicensed drainage construction, operation, and maintenance was clarified. Representatives also discussed undefined and defined drainage courses, approvals and licensing. It was also noted that an alteration of any water body does require approval through the Water Act, and potentially approval through Public

Lands Act. Rauser, who was also in attendance during the March 1 ASB meeting said the presenters made it clear that the county is to maintain those ditches.

“That was kind of a breakthrough,” said Rauser, who later sat down with Singleton, Eleniak, Public Works Director Harold Hamilton, and adjacent landowners on March 16 to hash out the details. In previous discussions with the county, Rauser said the cost estimate that was tossed around was $250,000.

Rauser said reaching a resolution was not easy and did come with challenges on all sides as there were a number of complicating factors that had to be considered. He is just breathing a sigh of relief right now, and looking forward to being able to put crop on that piece of land that was continually flooded.

Opinion Climate Scientist: Dear Editor, Rachel Notley and Environment Minister Shannon Phillips claim that climate science is completely settled, and that it’s useless to question, investigate, or inquire further. Last year, when an opposition member sought cabinet background notes (evidence) that would justify and explain the government’s decision to shut down Alberta’s coal plants for climate change reasons, Notley’s government responded by hurling accusations of “denial.”

Richard Lindzen is a climate scientist (dynamical meteorologist) at the prestigious Massachu-

setts Institute of Technology (MIT). He’s a former professor at the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and the recipient of numerous awards. Lindzen is recognized for his contributions to the human understanding of climate science.

In speaking about climate change, Lindzen says: “The influence of mankind on climate is trivially true and numerically insignificant.” He says future generations will shake their heads and wonder in amazement that the developed world in the early 21st century embraced hysteria and panic because of

a miniscule temperature increase of less than 1o over 100+ years, and consequently tried to roll back the industrial age based on exaggerated and unreliable computer models.

Solar physicist/astrophysicist Pal Brekke is a well-known scientist, author, and public speaker who has served in several capacities with NASA, and has been part of science operations at the Norwegian Space Centre. He says: “Anyone who claims that the [climate science] debate is over and the conclusions firm, has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous

Letter to the Editor: PM’s questionable views of Syria Dear Editor, Vietnam War veteran John Kerry’s testimony before the Senate foreign relations committee, April 22, 1971 should be required reading for Justin Trudeau. I suggest it should be required reading as well for anyone who agrees with Trudeau’s contemplated military adventures in Ukraine and Latvia and his pre-mature musings about Syria’s weapons of mass destruction.

Kerry famously asked, “How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?”

I ask Trudeau: How can you ask any Canadian to die in defense of a Ukraine government that came to power after a US organized overthrow and has been replaced by a govern-

ment of unabashed Nazi supporters?

Syria has been accused of two serious Sarin attacks on its own people. The first one was on Aug 21 2013 and the last one on April 4 2017. Now both of these attacks have been discredited, the first one by Seymour Hurst and the second by Theodore Postol.

“I have reviewed the document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun, Syria at roughly 6 to 7 a.m.on April 4, 2017,” Theodore A. Postol, Professor

Emeritus of Science, Technology, and National Security Policy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Trudeau says the path to peace in Syria doesn’t include Assad. Trudeau should be asked to give us one example that would give us reason to be optimistic about removing Syria’s President. In this century the United States (Often with Canada’s help or approval) has overthrown governments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Haiti, Honduras and Brazil.

Given this record, what does Trudeau think Syria will look like once we rid the world of Bashar alAssad?

Bev Currie, Swift Current

Agenda driven politicians who use climate change as a means to a goal issues of our time.”

John Christy is a climatologist at the University of Alabama—one of the U.S. government’s primary sources of temperature data. Formerly of NASA, Christy served as a U.N. IPCC lead author for its 3rd assessment report, and along with Dr. Roy Spencer, received NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for global temperature monitoring with satellites.

Christy says that “climate cannot be predictably managed” through the kind of antiCO2 programs some governments (including Alberta and Ontario) are now pursuing, given the complete uncertainty of natural variations. He says that in order to achieve even a 10% reduction in global CO2, it would require 1,000

nuclear power plants.

And even such a massive undertaking, he says, still wouldn’t make a measurable difference in the earth’s climate.

Even so, Rachel Notley and Shannon Phillips are fully committed to climate alarmism, which can more easily take them to higher taxes and greater government control over the economy— including the business and resource sectors.

This is where their ideological agenda rests.

In Ontario, Kathleen Wynne has pursued similar policies with devastating results. Her alarm over climate change has forced thousands into situations where they must choose between paying for electricity or buying food. These same alarmist fears have riddled the Ontario economy with economic pot-

Niki Perrin Ad Sales

holes (government-created disincentives), chasing away investors and employers. Businesses have left. Many that remain express fear and alarm over the implications of Wynne’s policies.

MIT’s Lindzen has commented widely on political leaders like Notley and Wynne, people who rely upon exaggerated claims of settled climate science in order to leverage their political agendas. He says that when a claim to a science “issue becomes a vital part of a political agenda, as is the case with climate, then the… desired position becomes a goal rather than a consequence of scientific research.”

Opinion From Where I Sit: Improves Your Odds

By Hazel Anaka As my recovery from a fall on an icy sidewalk dragged on, I learned a few things. At the risk of being too clever by half, let’s call them the Five A’s.

Alone. As much as some of us (okay, it’s me)

value time spent alone, it is absolutely impossible to get through this life alone. For starters, there are some real safety issues. Having a health emergency without the ability to summon help from an ambulance or anyone else can be deadly. Moving through the house and the world, doing things one is physically unable to do, and having a sounding board for questions and concerns is best done with a cadre of others.

Accessibility.

The issue of access to health care becomes real personal real fast when it’s you or your loved one needing help. All of us understand (and accept)

the concept of triage in an emergency department because it’s a golden rule kind of thing. I’d expect to be treated first if my need was greatest, so it’s okay if you’re treated first when your need is greatest. The other part of accessibility is built structure. Our house would not accommodate a wheelchair.

Even using a walker wasn’t exactly a picnic.

Toilet and countertop heights are all wrong.

Awareness.

Am I alone in having sensitivities to drugs? I hate taking meds. But long ago I learned no medals are awarded for trying to power through without medication, that you

can’t let the pain get away from you, and that pain management is part of the recovery process.

As headache and nausea rivaled the pain and discomfort from the actual injury I got scared.

Paying attention to what our body tells us requires awareness. And a willingness to trust ourselves despite what experts may say.

Accomplished. When I decided I couldn’t stand the nausea and headache another moment, I got Roy to take me back to the hospital. This time, through sheer dumb luck, I got a remarkable doctor. Her thoroughness astounded me. A sad commentary

Letter to the Editor: Invest in security Dear Editor, As the world de-stabilizes, Canadians must invest more in our own security. We need more diplomats working with our global allies. We can’t expect to have a say in what our allies do if we lack relationships with the people making those decisions. We must make sure that Canadians are in on a decision that might, for instance, trigger a world war.

We also need more security at home: a lot more. Terrorist incidents are on the rise everywhere, and the only way to stop terrorists is to increase the resources we need — computer surveillance programs and spies — to catch them

before they do something. Identifying terrorists is not difficult: most of them are radicalized online. But we need the resources and the manpower to keep track of the suspects.

Canada must also pull our weight in military actions. When we send our soldiers overseas to fight alongside our allies — which we must do if we want a seat at the table — they should have all the training, equipment and supplies they need.

Diplomacy, intelligence services and military capacity all cost money. To me, investing in these cornerstones of security is just common sense. So it really gets up my nose when politi-

cians focus so obsessively on keeping taxes low.

In comparison with other countries, Canadians enjoy a topof-the-pack quality of life while paying a middleof-the-pack tax rate. So I don’t know why we howl like we’ve been shot every time a politician talks about raising taxes, even for a good reason.

We are so obsessed about keeping taxes low that the Conservatives refused to spend the budget allocated for military equipment, even when it was allocated by parliament. According to Power & Politics’ analysis of the Public Accounts, between 2006 and 2015, National Defence left $9.6 billion unspent. The

Liberals are not better: in this year’s budget, government is stripping $8.4 billion out of the equipment budget at National Defence.

Folks, politicians do what we tell them. So it’s up to us to grow up and get real: It is not possible to increase security without increasing the budget for security. Nobody likes paying taxes, but it’s about time we stop insisting on a bargainbasement government, stop believing that we can get something without paying for it, and get real about electing a government that will invest in keeping us safe.

when a doctor being thorough is noteworthy.

This doctor asked probing and follow up questions; listened; actually examined the injured leg; ordered an ECG, blood work, and urinalysis; got me on an IV to relieve symptoms; offered advice and reassurance that I would get better.

That is an accomplished professional.

Attitude. Through this whole bloody mess, I had to monitor my thinking. That meant accepting missing a planned writer’s retreat, asking for and accepting help, managing pain, questioning treatment, and believing I will get through this. It’s meant

breathing and calming myself during what could have become panic attacks. It’s meant making the best of this enforced inactivity by reading as much as my headaches allowed.

Because no one can escape challenge or misfortune forever, it’s wise to spend some time formulating a plan. Keep caring people in your life, minimize risks for falls or injuries in and around your environment, don’t disregard what your gut tells you, seek out accomplished experts, and think straight.

It improves your odds, from where I sit.

Projects, products and people highlighted in industry updates SUBMITTED ARTICLE Local residents and business owners spent valuable face to face time with their industrial neighbors at Life in the Heartland’s Community Information Evening on April 12 in Josephburg.

The event proves there continues to be a strong appetite for information about industry as more than 200 people attended the open house style evening. It is a chance for the community to connect with local industrial facilities in person.

Over twenty companies and organizations shared details at their booths about their future plans and activities. Four presentations

showcased industry’s recent expansion projects, community investment, and diversity of products that are created in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.

Among the presenters was Sherritt International’s Lyle Trytten, Director of Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs. “We are proud to be a Canadian company having operated more than 60 years in Fort Saskatchewan. We’re the grandfather of the Heartland. We have proven we can run a sustainable business here and we look forward to doing it for a long time to come,” Trytten explained. “Sherritt has attracted top class researchers from around the

world to help develop new technologies here in Alberta that we then export across the globe.”

Trytten shared how Sherritt’s products like nickel and cobalt are key to environment and technology innovation. These products are used in casting for wind turbines and electric vehicles, both of which are becoming more popular in the growth of greener alternatives for power and transportation. Rechargeable batteries also contain nickel, which means that smart phones used every day around the world may be running on nickel produced right here in the Heartland.

As Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing

region, Alberta’s Industrial Heartland is also well known for facilities like Shell’s upgrader and refinery that produce gas, diesel, and jet fuel. In Shell’s presentation by Health, Safety, Security and Environment Manager Mario Kulas, their #fuellingkindness community investment was highlighted. In 2016, $428,000 was contributed to community projects and over 600 employees volunteered in various capacities throughout the region.

Additional presenters included the Northeast Capital Industrial Association who provided details on scheduled turnarounds this year. Nine companies will complete a turnaround between now

After 35 plus years the old ice plant at the Karol Maschmeyer Arena in Bruderheim was given

the heave ho last week.

Town of Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Pod says that in addition to a new ice plant, the town is also upgrading the cooling lines, compressors and headers. She said utiliza-

tion of smart technology will also provide energy savings to the town as well.

The new ice plant is expected to take four months to install.

Funding for the new ice plant was largely made possible through a regional collaboration grant that was approved by the province late last year.

Andrew School junior and senior high had a treat making their own Paska (bread), on April 11. Judy Radomsky gave her expertise teaching our students how to make Paska. The staff and parent helper (Angela Diedrich) assisted with their guidance and help. The students were able to take their Paska home for Easter. Above, Judy Radomsky is seen instructing students Chandler Burback, Zachary Desjardins-Major, and Stanley Maynard.

Traditonal Easter Celebration

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The tradition continues at Andrew School. The Easter lunch is one event that showcases the camaraderie between staff and students. Earlier in the week, students made Paskas, the traditional Easter bread.

They will later be doing Easter eggs with the help of a bunch of talented volunteers. Miss Gelhert, Baba Lucy, and students Mark, Tristan, Taylor, and Noemie prepared the lunch, as well as Mrs Malowany whom donated fruit and juice crystals. This event is possible by the generousity of staff and breakfast club personnel.

+

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Andrew School breakfast program has put on a pancake breakfast with bacon. The object was to show the students what a nutritious breakfast contains.

They were thrilled and enjoyed the last one and requested another one.

We aim to please. With grant funding this is one major achievement.

gram has changed to become a cultural program with some language incorporated into it. Students enrolled in the Ukrainian Program find that the culture is interesting and fun to learn about. I think that’s why we have such a strong program today that involves students of a variety of cultural backgrounds!

LES News: What are Pysanka? How many years have we been making pysanky in the school?

Mrs Kelly: Pysanky are colourful eggs with beautifully decorated designs. They are made by writing on the egg with beeswax, using a special tool called a kistka. The word pysanky comes from the Ukrainian word pysaty, which means to write. I believe the students have had the opportunity to make pysanka since the start of the program (the program is approximately 35 years old). We have participated in writing pysanky annually over the last 10 years that I have been involved with the program.

LES News: Are there different designs?

Mrs Kelly: There are hundreds, maybe thousands of different designs. I have sorted through many designs and decided on the ones that I think students are able to complete at each grade level, while taking into consideration the time we can allow (1 hour) as well the group’s past experience. The entire class does the same design because it is a learning experience to understand the whole process of writing the eggs. Working on the same design allows me to help students understand the process more easily and also helps me to guide the class to completing their work to the best of their ability and understanding.

LES News: What do the designs mean?

Mrs. Kelly: The egg is a symbol of spring and represents new life or rebirth in the Ukrainian tradition. In addition to this, each design has a different meaning. There are different combinations of symbols written on each egg. Individual

symbols have meaning.

For example, wheat is a symbol for a good harvest, deer/horses represent wealth/prosperity.

An egg may have an overall meaning with individual symbols included. For example, a star rosette is one of the oldest designs and it is symbolic of good luck or good fortune. No two eggs are ever exactly alike.

LES News: Are the eggs boiled before we colour them?

Mrs. Kelly: The eggs are NOT hard boiled before we colour them. We only boil the eggs we are going to eat. Many hours of preparation and work go into creating and writing pysanky, so we do not eat them. The inside of the egg will dry up if the pysanky are left in a cool, dry place.

Many people empty the insides by drilling tiny holes on top and bottom

and then blowing out the contents. This should be done before the egg is decorated.

LES News: Why do we make paska, the Easter bread? What does it mean?

Mrs. Nimchuk: We make Paska at Easter because it is one of the most essential items in our baskets. Paska symbolizes Jesus Christ’s passing over from death to life. So the Paska represents Christ, and a lit candle in the bread symbolizes the light of the world.

LES News: Is the Paska dough the same as bread dough?

Mrs. Matthews (one of the parent volunteers): “Paska is not like regular bread dough. It is a special dough which is sweeter and has lots of eggs in it”.

LES News: When is the Easter Breakfast? What will happen at the Easter Breakfast?

Mrs. Nimchuk: Our Easter Breakfast Celebration is on Friday, May 5. All of our LUBA students and their family members will gather in the activity room at the school to receive a blessing from the priest who will be joining us. The priest will also bless all our food that we will be having for the breakfast, as well as the Paska and Pysanka in the students’ baskets. As the priest walks around blessing the food and baskets, the students will sing “Khrystos Voskres”, which means “Christ is Risen”.

The staff and students at Lamont Elementary School are very thankful for all those who work hard to keep the Ukrainian traditions and language an important part of our school culture.
