Lamont communities optimistic with MLA change Former MLA Littlewood proud of progress made, thanked by Lamont County for commitment BY JOHN MATHER With a new member of the legislative assembly ready to take her seat next week for the Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville Constituency, most municipalities in Lamont County seem to be happy with the change. Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk representing the United Conservative Party

won the constituency toppling oneterm MLA Jessica Littlewood. “We’ve had a lot of work to get to this point,” said Armstrong Homeniuk hours after victory was declared Apr. 16. “I’ve got to thank my volunteers and also those people who opened their doors to us as we went campaigning.”

Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk celebrates her election victory in Vegreville, Apr. 16 with her husband, Joe, son, Joey and daughter Jacqueline. The United Conservative candidate easily won the Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville Constituency over NDP incumbent Jessica Littlewood.

“We all deserve some time off right now,” she said. “We all had a long campaign and I thank my competition for fighting a clean fight.” Now we’ve got to work towards doings some great things for Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville and Alberta,” she added. “We’ve got to work on getting jobs back, getting our economy back on track and, of course, getting that pipeline built.” In a prepared statement following her loss, Littlewood said, “It has been an honour to be the representative here for the past four years.” “I want to thank the hundreds of volunteers who helped knock on doors, made phone calls, and put up signs across the constituency,” she added. “Although the results didn’t go our way tonight, in my time as the MLA here I have been so proud of the progress we have seen in Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville.” Mike Saric, the mayor of Mundare, said he has met Armstrong Homeniuk on several occasions and felt it was time for a change in the area. He said it would probably have been difficult if the constituency had stayed the same, while the rest of the province, excluding Edmonton, went so heavily

in favour of the UCP. “I expect we’ll continue to push for the same things,” he said. “We’ll be looking at funding for infrastructure and long-term funding for municipalities.” He did admit he isn’t holding his breath for any extra infrastructure funding. “The provincial pool may dry up for a bit, because it’s going to be a priority of the UCP to get the budget under control,” he said. “We may not see as much money as we’ve seen in the past and I can appreciate that.” He said to that end he has discussed this with his council in Mundare that they will have to become more selfreliant. “We can’t be counting on the types of money we used to see, because times, they are a changin’,” he said. At Lamont County Council, Apr. 18, the council passed motions to congratulate Armstrong Homeniuk on her victory and request a meeting with her as quickly as possible in the next little while. They also passed a motion thanking Littlewood for her term in office and letting her know the County was pleased with the commitment she made during her four years as the MLA.

Andrew School likely loses senior high school MAUREEN SULLIVAN After many consultations and reviews, the Elk Island Public School board has decided to “consider closure” of the high school program at Andrew School as of June 30. Grades 10 to 12 will be affected by the board decision made Apr. 18. The senior high program at Andrew School had been reviewed by the Elk Island Board of Trustees (EIPS) throughout the 2018-2019 school year. A recommendation report submitted by Mark Liguori, superintendent of the district, was given to the Board of

Trustees for consideration. Included in the report was the possible closure of grades seven to 12 at Andrew School, at the end of this school year. The consultations confirmed the school’s low enrolment numbers limiting the access students had to enhanced educational opportunities in comparison to other schools within the division. The report further said the board was considering making Andrew School a K-9 school feeding into Lamont High or Vegreville Composite High School senior high programming. The recom-

mendation report can be found in full on the EIPS website. After reviewing and analyzing the report, the Board of Trustees amended the recommendation and approved the motion "to consider the closures of grades 10-12 at Andrew School, effective June 30, 2019." A public meeting will be held on May 9, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Andrew School to share information about the possible grade reconfiguration. "Families, students and community members are encouraged to attend and

learn what's being considered, ask questions and provide feedback," said Laura McNabb, director of communications services for EIPS. EIPS representatives will be on hand to answer questions and offer feedback. According to the EIPS website, the Board will carefully review and consider all related reports, documents and feedback received before making a final decision, which is expected to take place at the Board meeting on June 6, 2019.

Lamont County councillor suggests setting up its own landfill site BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County is so fed up with large garbage littering its ditches, it’s wondering if it should set up its own landfill. Councillor Neil Woitas brought the subject up at council Apr. 18. “I’ve a problem with the landfill with it hours of operation and stuff,” he said. “My feeling is I have a farm two-and-a half miles from a town and we’re getting large piles of shingles and debris, BBQs mattresses – we’re getting all kinds of stuff and no matter how many times we ask the regional landfill for longer hours nothing happens.” He added the County paid more than $200,000 annually to the landfill commission and then pays to clean up ditches and then pays to take it to the landfill. He wondered if it was a good deal for the County since they only had one vote on the St. Michael Landfill Commission, and then mused whether the County should look at creating its own landfill. “We pay the most to be on the commission and have only one vote. They’re listening to us with deaf ears. It’s costing us way more than $219,000, so I think we should starting looking at what it would take to start our own landfill.” Councillor Wayne Woldanski, who is the County’s representative on the landfill commission, said the landfill site was staggering its hours this year to see if that could alleviate any of the dumping issues in the County. “The hours are going to be staggered for one day,” he said. “I don’t have the details yet, but one day a week, they’ll be open a little later.” Woitas said he knew people who had witnessed people leaving the dump with loads, because he felt they wouldn’t pay the fees charged by the dump. He felt these loads later ended up in County ditches. Councillor Dan Warawa said in the eastern part of the County, there were similar problems. “There’s some areas

where you can have a whole suite furnished, with a barbecue,” he said. “It’s a growing problem.” Chief Administrative Officer, Stephen Hall told council other jurisdictions do have “large items day” where people can dispose of up to two appliances, building materials and other large items with no charge. “It certainly helps with the issue of large items ending up in the ditches,” he said. But Woitas wouldn’t be swayed. “We still have to pay to pick this garbage up and I wouldn’t want to pick up some of those mattresses that have been sitting soaking in a slough,” he fumed. “I think we’re money ahead to have our own landfill and let people dump for free.” Reeve David Diduck asked what the ramifications would be to try and

set up a separate dump. “What are our obligations under the landfill commission?” he asked. Woldanski said there was a process in the bylaw to opt out, but added it would be fairly complicated to set up another site. He added he brought up the question of charging for large items several times, but the charges for these contribute a fairly large amount to the landfill’s budget. He further added he had maps showing where most of the garage was dumped in the County and it did seem to centred within easy traveling distance from the urban communities, although some was dumped further out. He said the majority of items being picked by the county were items the landfill charged for. Public works director Chris Valaire told council that trying to set up its

own landfill would take up to two years for approvals because it had to be approved through Alberta Environment and there would be opposition from area residents. Valaire said he had two of his staff tracking how much material was being dumped in the County and what it was costing to get rid of it. “It’s a cost that’s been going up every year,” he said. “And if I’ve got people out picking up garbage, then they can’t be working on drainage issues or other work.” He said he has pictures of the dumpsites and had sent them to the County’s peace officer. Warawa suggested maybe the County could consider transfer stations. “I see Two Hills has those and they’re picked up a couple of times a week.” Diduck wondered how the County was being

charged accurate amounts. Woldanski said a good part of the County and the urban communities had garbage pick up which is hauled to the landfill. Diduck was concerned the County paid 50 per cent of the budget requi-

sition and only had one vote while a smaller community paying much less also had one vote. After much discussion, council passed a motion to ask for a meeting with the landfill commission to further discuss the issue.

Opinion A tale of two speeches After last week’s election results in which Jason Kenney’s UCP steamrolled to a 63 seat majority government in Alberta, the leaders of the only two parties to be represented in the Legislature spoke - and spoke well. Alberta NDP leader and former Premier Rachel Notley was gracious in her concession speech. She pointed out some of her party’s accomplishments in their four years in power, after winning a most unlikely provincial election in 2015. “We have fundamentally changed the politics in this province forever,” she said accepting the loss, “but democracy is our absolute highest value.” Notley pointed out the NDP’s ability to raise minimum wage to $15/hour, and enact some worthy social programs like reducing the child poverty rate and fighting for the protection of the LGBTQ2SA+ community. A formitable and likeable speaker, it made me wonder why the former Premier didn’t use this positive approach to election campaigning rather than her scortched-earth attack on Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party. When it was Kenney’s turn to give his acceptance speech as Alberta’s next premier, he chose to give a rousing and patriotic oratory based on the theme of Canada’s long-time most wealthy province being once again open for business. For those who have lost hope due to Alberta’s economic decline, “help is on the way and hope is on the horizon.” He said the UCP government will be obsessed with putting this province back to work. “… By restoring investor confidence, and unleashing the job creating power of our entrepreneurs…. come here, invest here, create jobs here.” In a nice touch, Kenney spoke in French to Quebecers, calling for a spirit of cooperation with that province to build a pipeline which will bring ethical Canadian oil there rather than US or OPEC dictatorship oil. He said Alberta has given over $600 billion to the rest of Canada in wealth redistribution, but now that Alberta is hurting with the worst unemployment in Canada he pleaded for help and cooperation. He landed a direct hit on foreign funded campaigns to land-lock Alberta oil, meanwhile the US oil industry thrives without protest and world oil demand continues to increase with massive sales from Russian and OPEC dictatorship countries. “We will no longer put up with the campaign of defamation against an industry that has helped build one of the most prosperous and generous societies on earth. “We say to fellow Canadians: Let us unite to unleash Canada’s full economic potential,” while reducing emissions and our environmental footprint and taking the possibility of climate change seriously. We must abandon global energy markets led by dictatorships and promote “Canadian oil which is produced with the highest environmental, human rights and labour standards on earth.” Kenney added some of the UCP’s platform promises including working with indiginous groups to develop prosperity, lowing the business tax, scrapping the carbon tax, and promoting free enterprise. Nobody can be positive everything he said will come to fruition, but it really felt good having someone stand up for Albertans. If Premier Notley failed miserably in any department in particular, it was not understanding Alberta’s frustration of being kicked around by the Prime Minister, Quebec, and British Columbia in particular.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Liberals never had a plan to meet Trans Mountain Expansion decision

“The recent announcement confirms the Liberals never had a plan to meet the 90 day deadline to make a decision on the Trans Mountain Expansion by May 22nd.” “While it would be reasonable to expect that the Liberals will re-approve this pipeline in June, three years after this Liberal cabinet initially approved the project, the Liberals must commit to approving this project and must provide a firm plan on how they will get this pipeline built. “The Trans Mountain Expansion was expected to be completed and in service by December 2019. Instead, construction will not have started by then – and there is a real risk the Liberals could cancel this project for political reasons.

"Canadians should be concerned about the fact that the Liberal cabinet approved the extension last week, but waited until the day before the Easter long-weekend to announce it, and clearly delayed making the extension public until after the Alberta election. Their failure to make a decision by the original deadline will cause the Trans Mountain Expansion to miss the summer construction season, significantly delaying the completion timeline. “More than 115,000 oil and gas jobs have been lost under these Liberals, and another 12,500 are expected to be lost this year. The lack of export pipeline capacity because the Prime Minister personally gave the order to cancel the Northern

Gateway pipeline instead of getting the consultation right, and the Liberals' meddling to kill the Energy East pipeline with rule changes and standards not applied to other pipelines, and their mistakes and ongoing delays on the Trans Mountain Expansion, is driving oil and gas businesses and jobs out of Canada.” “The Liberals failed to exert federal jurisdiction to ensure the Trans Mountain Expansion could be built by the private sector. Their mistakes in consulting indigenous peoples added eight months and counting to the six month delay the Liberals already imposed on the project in 2016, for which they still refuse to set a deadline.

Letter: Trans Mountain Delay Continued from Page 4 The majority of Canadians and impacted indigenous communities all support the completion of the Trans Mountain Expansion. “The mistakes the Liberals made on the Trans Mountain Expansion, their ‘no more pipelines’ Bill C-69 and other anti-energy policies and legislation have destroyed Canada’s reputation as a stable, fair, predictable destination for energy investment. “Within a week of the court ruling, Conservatives put forward a rescue plan for the Trans Mountain Expansion, calling for immediate emergency retroactive legislation to affirm the National Energy Board’s determination that Transport Canada, as the federal department that regulates shipping, was the appropriate department to assess the impact of marine traffic related to the Trans Mountain Expansion, immediate indigenous consultations to fulfil the court's instructions of two way

dialogue with decision makers, an immediate appeal to the Supreme Court and a request for a stay on the Appeal Court's decision, and implementation of a constitutional measure to enforce federal jurisdiction over all aspects of the construction, maintenance and operations of the Trans Mountain Expansion.

“An Andrew Scheer Conservative government will cancel the Carbon Tax, scrap the ‘no more pipelines’ Bill C-69, repeal the shipping bans C-48 and C-86, and stand up for Canada’s energy sector with the leadership needed to help energy workers and their families get back to work.” MP Shannon Stubbs

The AED is a portable electronic device that can automatically diagnose cardiac arythmias, ventricular fibrillation and tachycardias and treat them by applying electricity, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. It is designed to be easily used by anyone. "The machine literally talks you through the steps," stated Stewart of the AED.

Volunteer Week celebrated throughout Lamont County

The barns at the Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds are being enclosed in time for Bullerama.

Facilities at Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds gets facelift due to grant REBECCA JOSEPH Due to the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) grant, the Stadnick Stable and the Carter Corral will be getting a fresh new look at the Lamont and District Agriculutral Society’s Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds. “We were very excited to have received these funds. They are a vital component to making this project a reality,” said grant committee chair Cindy Gruber. The CFEP program is operated by the Alberta Government to help fund renovations and upgrades to public-use community facilities. The grant’s purpose is to stimulate economic activity in the province by providing matching funds to enhance existing facili-

ties. The pole barns were originally erected in the Town of Lamont, behind the recreation centre in the early 1990s by the Ag. Society. The barns were moved from town in 2015 after the society purchased their own land nearby in Lamont County, with support from Entrec. In 2017 they were permanently moved to their current location adjacent to the riding arena with donations from the Stadnick and Carter families. “The renovations were the next step in our long term vision for the grounds. Enclosing the barns allows us to enhance our existing programming and look at new ventures for the future.” explains Shelley Loren, building committee chair. Enclosing the barns

will provide a warmer environment for patrons of both the upcoming Bullarama Supreme and the Summer Sizzler Rodeo in July, she added. Each barn will be equipped with overhead doors at each end and the exterior walls will be finished. The barns will still be open to each other from the inside, however there will be enhanced protection from the weather. “We are looking forward to seeing the reactions of attendees of the upcoming Bullarama Supreme. We are confident that everyone will be able to enjoy these updates for years to come.” stated Loren. The grand opening celebration for the barns will be hosted at the Bullarama Supreme on May 4.

Maureen Sullivan Volunteer Week in Lamont County ran from April 7 to 14. Dinners were held in Andrew, April 9; Mundare, April 10; Lamont, April 11; and Bruderheim on April 12.

Student vote closely mirrors provincial results Maureen Sullivan The students of Bruderheim Elementary, Lamont Elementary and Lamont High School went to the polls to cast ballots for who they would like to see as their MLA ahead of lsat week’s provincial election. Voting on the Friday or Monday before the provincial election, their results closely mirrored what the electors’ chose. Learning about government and the electoral process, the students researched the issues, parties and candidates. They followed campaign activities, media and family dialogue. On Student Vote Day, some students took on the roles of election officers and their fellow students cast ballots for

the official candidates running in their school’s electoral division. Hudson Gouckie and Nigel Kroeker of Lamont High were the election officers for their school vote. Gouckie and Kroeker said they made their decision on who to vote for after watching videos presented by Mr. Charleton. " I have my own scruples and then I thought about what I learned at school," said Gouckie. "I listened to what the teachers had to say and then what my parents thought, before making a choice," said Kroeker. Lamont Elementary allowed grades four, five and six to participate in the vote. "In grade six, the students learn about the legislature, but for the past

two weeks the students have been learning about the election process," said Lamont Elementary teacher Mrs. Marks. Christian Nimchuk in grade 6 at LES said he looked at the riding and the candidates, stating healthcare and education were important in making his choice. Bruderheim Elementary also voted in the election. Zandon Tanner in grade six thought there were a lot of candidates. After picking a party, he decided in the end to go with what he thought was a better candidate. Shie-Anne Radke also in grade 6, said she chose her candidate based on what the party said about healthcare and education. Mrs. Taylor was in charge of the elec-

tion at Bruderheim. Province-wide students elected Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party to form a majority government with 49 out of 87 seats and 56.32 per cent of the vote. In reality Kenny received 55 per cent of the vote. Rachel Notley and the Alberta New Democratic Party took 35 seats and will form the official opposition according to students, receiving 30.3 per cent of the popular vote. The NDP received 32.1 per cent in reality. Stephen Mandel and the Alberta Party got three seats and 18.5 per cent of the vote. In reality they received 9.3 per cent of the vote. Despite receiving 9.3 per cent of the vote, the

Nigel Kroeker and Hudson Gouckie of Lamont High School manned the polls on April 12 as the students voted for their candidates in this provincial election. Elections Alberta, The Alberta Teachers’ Association, the Edmonton Community Foundation, the Calgary Foundation, the Government of Alberta and the Government of Canada and will be offered to all schools at no cost. Participating schools received activity guides, campaign posters, electoral division maps, ballots and ballot boxes.

County firefighters to race the stairs BY JOHN MATHER A crew of Lamont County firefighters will compete against their peers May 5 as they attempt to become the fastest crew to race up the stairs in Calgary’s Bow Tower. The climb is in support of firefighters and citizen’s living with cancer. The firefighting crew, which practices in Bruderheim, is made up of six firefighters from Bruderheim, one from Lamont and two from Andrew. “It’s Wellspring Calgary and it’s a program for cancer programs,” said local organizer Correen Hosack. “It’s not for finding a cure, but rather to help people with cancer. It’s for aiding with psychiatric care or getting people rides to chemo… that sort of thing. ”My husband was diagnosed with prostrate cancer eight years ago and he’s just recently been rediagnosed with

prostrate cancer,” she said. “So I wanted to do something that’s in his honour and this is what we chose to do. We also wanted to do something to show our firefighters’ fitness, and we’ve been working on this for more than a year.” Hosack added two firefighters from Lamont did the climb last year and that’s where the idea began. The climb up the staircase in the tower is 775 vertical feet. Starting at 3,400 feet above sea level, this climb is recognized as the highest elevation firefighter climb in the world. Hosack points out the firefighters will be doing the climb in full body gear that adds about 50 pounds to their body weight. There are 1,204 steps in the climb, she adds. “The air up there is really thin and it’s a glass stairwell facing south so it gets very hot,” she said.

Blanket Alberta Ads take approximately 10 days to process

“There’s hundreds of firefighters taking part in the competition,” she said. “I’m optimistic our deputy chief Al Klassen will place in his age category.” She said the firefighters are timed individually and then they are averaged out for a team speed. “We’ve been focusing on fitness for a year, but for this event we’ve be running up and down our hose tower for three months.” Hosack said the training involves running up and down the hose tower 25 times in full gear. To add to the misery of that, she turns the temperature in the tower to a stifling 25 degrees Celsius and closes the doors. The hose tower at Bruderheim can only handle two runners at a time, so the firefighters set a schedule for when they train. She said while there

might be a medal for the teams that do well in Calgary, “we all just compete in the event to say we did it.” The firefighters from Lamont County have raised more than $10,000 for the Wellspring group, she said. “We’ve had fundraisers like last week’s family event here at the firehall,” she said. “We’ve also received some sponsorship from businesses, and some people have individually come up and said they’d like to help us out. There’s really been a good response to this from the communities.” The firefighters taking part in the event are Correen Hosack, Ashley Roust, Olga Renneberg, Al Klassen, Shayne Cherniwchan, and Shawn Lawrence from Bruderheim; Chris Greening from Lamont; and Marty Stewart and Julie Wortel from Andrew.
