Election’s dirty tricks Election signs disappear in rural Lamont County, Vegreville
Moving from Edmonton to CFB Wainwright for strategic military training, the public will see a high volume of military vehicles on Highway 16 this week.
Military movement along Highway 16 MAUREEN SULLIVAN From April 1 to 6, approximately 600 military vehicles from Canadian Forces Base Edmonton will be moving along Hwy. 16 on their way to CFB Wainwright in preparation for large scale military training exercises. The public should expect to see a high volume of military vehicles between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily.
The training being conducted at CFB Wainwright will ensure 3rd Canadian Division soldiers are fully trained and certified by the appropriate Canadian Army authorities, ready for deployment on international operations from July 1, 2019 to Aug. 31, 2020 in support of the foreign and defense policy objectives of the Government of Canada, according to Captain Ken Jacobsen, Public Affairs Officer, 1st Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group.
BY JOHN MATHER Thieves targeted Alberta Party candidate Marvin Olsen’s election signs during the past weekend. Olsen said in a release to The Leader, almost all of his election signs in the rural areas of the constituency were stolen, including the ones on private property. “I understand residents of Vegreville were physically going to the RCMP detachment and phoning in about Marvin Olsen it this morning,” he said April 1. “They were complaining about the thefts before I was even aware of it.” While he said he hadn’t had the chance to travel throughout the constituency to check, signs were stolen in Vegreville, Mundare and Lamont. In a post on Facebook, UCP candidate Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk stated, “this is completely unacJackie Armstrong ceptable and must stop Homeniuk immediately. No matter what your political beliefs may be, removing signs of those with whom you disagree is an egregious affront to the hard work of candidates running to serve in public office and those whose volunteerism is fundamental to the success of any campaign.” She said she stood in solidarity with all the candidates in the campaign in rejecting “such juvenile and despicable vandalism.” She added the best way to voice one’s opinion was at the ballot box. Olsen later said in a Facebook post, “We are going to move forward with our campaign and continue to spread the positive message of the Alberta Party.” To that end he asked that all his supporters keep people talking about “the great things and positive change the Alberta Party can bring to Albertans.”

Andrew skaters win prestigious medals BY TRACY DOCTOR Two local skaters, Jameson Harding-Doctor and Kaylee Marianicz headed to Airdrie on March 15th and 16th for the 2019 Starskate and Adult Figure Skating Championships, proudly representing the Andrew Figure Skating Club. The competition began with Marianicz on the Friday, first competing in her Silver Interpretive. This is only her second time competing in the interpretive event, and she made a great performance which earned her a sixth place finish. Marianicz, within only a couple of hours, quickly changed and warmed up for her short program free skate event that same afternoon. Since Marianicz competed at sectionals in the fall of 2018, she is only able to compete the short program at this particular competition. She skated a excellent program to
the song ‘Footloose’, and it was a nearly perfect showing. When she finished, she was sitting in third place, but there were still 17 more skaters to come. As she anxiously waited, with each skater she remained in third, thus bringing home the well deserved bronze medal. On Saturday, March 16, it was Jameson HardingDoctor’s turn to compete. Harding-Doctor was competing in the Star 4 Under-13 Boys event. Knowing this would be his final time competing at this level in provincials, he had set his goals high, hoping to place in the top three. After also skating a near perfect performance, missing only one jump, he achieved his goal and more. Harding-Doctor earned himself the gold medal and the title of Provincial Champion for his level. Both of these two
skaters have trained extremely hard all winter long, and without the mentorship and instruction from their coaches Juline Chomay, Judy
Henry and Abby Kozma they would not have been able to achieve these remarkable results. “Coming from a small rural club, with limited
resources compared to bigger centres we are extremely proud of both
of these skaters,” states Sandra Marianicz, whom is the club’s president.

Ladouceur has desire for change BY JOHN MATHER Fort Saskatchewan resident Shane Ladouceur is carrying the Alberta Independence Party flag in this election. “We’re a group of people who didn’t like what saw going on in politics and wanted a change,” he said. “So we started our own party from the ground up. It’s a real grassroots approach for all Albertans.” He added the party has an interim party leader in Dave Bjorkman. “I’m hearing people
talking about jobs losses, immigration and how our government doesn’t seem to be fighting for us anymore,” he said. “People want change and we’re there to provide it.” He explains that if elected, his party would give money back to Albertans. “We give the federal government $40 billion a year,” he states. “That’s a lot of money we’re giving and not getting anything back for it except maybe a kick in the butt with a thank you.
He added additional “Right there,” he goes on, “Is $40-billion back in planks in the party platform mean our walno taxes on lets. No the first GST, no $45,000 c a r b o n earned; tax… The cancelled prices of GST, no goods and carbon tax, services and no will go equalizadown and tion paypeople will ments. s p e n d Ladouceur more. That Shane Ladouceur has been will kickgoing door start the economy. And of course to door throughout the we’ll get that pipeline constituency. “I’m trying my hardest going.”
Fenske speaks at Chamber meeting promoting networking MAUREEN SULLIVAN Jacquie Fenske of Threesixty Alberta spoke at the Lamont and District Chamber of Commerce meeting on Mar. 25, about the importance of connecting with your audience to sell your business using social meeting and networking. Fenske who grew up on a farm north of Bruderheim, says the importance of cultivating your network and building personal relationships cannot be overvalued. Make time for people, phone or text them, use Facebook and Twitter weekly. Instagram is the new social media tool, she says. To build relationships start with a conversation, said Fenske. Try asking questions such as, "you remind me of a celebrity but I can't remember which one - who's someone you relate to?" Move beyond the cliche topics of weather and traffic to things that are more important and personal to you. Look around you, what is on the walls that you can talk about, a piece of art, a family photograph. Share some news that actually happened, people want to know more about others. Finally look at the other person when you speak to them, discover the colour of their eyes, and smile when you are on the phone, suggested
Fenske. According to Fenske being authentic, making a connection and sharing a taste of who you are will help build relationships that will bring people to your business. The Lamont & District Chamber of Commerce has organized a Voters Forum to be held at St. Michael Hall on Mon. April 8, at 7:00 p.m., with the eight candidates running in the provincial election. Dr. Lars Hallstrom from the U of A will be synthesizing the questions and Cathy Goulet, president of the Chamber, will be moderator.

I’ve been in Lamont, Vegreville, Bruderheim,” he said. “I’ll be knocking, getting everyone’s input, and introducing myself.” He said he had a few door slams or “not interested” comments, but overall his reception has been pretty positive.

line. Ladouceur, 44, is a plumber gasfitter by trade with four children. “I want people to know we’re regular Albertans who will work for them. We want to see ourselves take control of our own destiny,” he said. ”If we get elected there will be instant money in your pocket." Ladouceur, who was born in Lamont, plans to take part in all the allcandidates forum.

Opinion Entitlement or Ingratitude? Western civilization is the greatest society in the history of the world. That’s why it irritates me when our society which was built on capitalism and free enterprise is questioned, and ridiculed, as not fair for all. Life isn’t fair. Blow-horn socialists like American Representative from New York, Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), leads a person to believe that young people of today have it significantly worse than prior generations; and that today’s generation is apparently suffering in a world full of debt and climate change - never experiencing prosperity. Oh, really? Quality of life, ease of life, has never been better. Millennials have been passed along... greatness. Young people have access to friends and family, help, maps, directions, information and knowledge instantaneously via smart phones. Just four decades ago, phones were stuck to a wall and when you left the home you also left all communication with anyone you know except whoever you happened to be with - if anyone. Today the poverty line also includes a microwave, stove, car, TV and cell phone. That was once called middle class. Chances of unintentional homelessness is nearing zero in Canada and the United States. Today at the touch of a button, people are able to purchase the absolute cheapest and best available product (reviewed by other shoppers) and have it delivered to home in just a couple of days without lifting a finger. Since 1980, the size of new homes have gone up 80 percent. The percentage of income today spent on food, shelter, clothing and utilities has decreased nine percent. The amount of income able to be spent on entertainment in 1980 was 9 percent; today it is 14 percent. As well, the rate of consumption of products has doubled per capita today compared to 1980. Further, air travel is three times safer than in 1980 despite moving 10 times as many passengers. Life expectancy is up nearly six years since 1980. The death rate per 100,000 people has decreased for heart attacks, cancer and automobile deaths. Society’s work output per hour has increased while the number of hours we work has dropped. Work-related deaths are one-quarter of what they were in 1980, and the mean retirement age has also lowered. No, Western civilization isn’t perfect. Capitalism isn’t perfect. But as Winston Churchill said: It’s the worst form of government... except for all the others. Young people need to do exactly as their successful elders have done in the past: work hard, take intelligent risks, work hard, drop the excuses, work hard, don’t allow failure into your life, work hard, do things you love, work hard, be prompt and reliable, work hard, make life better for your co-workers, work hard, care about your job... work hard.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Town of Lamont needs to lead the way supporting locals to save the town My name is Yuri and I am the Operations Manager and CFO for Allied Paving in Lamont. I just read something in the local buy and sell recently that upset me. A comment stating that more and more companies are going out of business in our town because we refuse to support each other. This brought up an upsetting memory for me from just last year. Town refused to allow Allied Paving to bid on the 2018 capital project. The engineers for the town convinced the town to run a pre-tender evaluation process that is rarely seen in our industry. I have been the lead estimator for Allied Paving since 2005, bidding on billions of dollars of infrastructure projects, and this process is used less than 3% of the time.
Allied Paving works on projects of this scale and much larger annually. Last year we were the awarded and completed prime a $15 million project on the Alaskan Highway. This was the largest paving project in Western Canada last year. Please note there was no pre-bid evaluation for this project. It is true that the pre-bid was announced publicly, and that other contractors saw it, and completed the evaluation. It was my fault solely for missing the announcement, but it could have easily been fixed by the town by releasing an addendum on the project. An addendum is a commonly used tool during the tendering process. It allows the engineer to make adjustments prior to the bids being turned in. It is typical to see 2 to 3 adden-
dums released on every project. I spoke with the engineer's representative, and asked him to send out an addendum to allow other contractors who may have missed the earlier pre-bid process to submit with the tender as is the norm. He agreed that the pre-bid process was uncommon / antiquated, but stated he would do nothing. I reiterate that this process only benefits the engineer as they get to charge the client for running 2 separate evaluation programs when every other engineer company and owner including Alberta Transportation do it all at once. This costs the owner far less money and provides the same results. Continued on Page 5

Letter: Politics full of misleading falsehoods I am not trying to offend anyone with my Letters. With the overwhelming support I have received it is quite clear we have a society that just wants the truth and are realizing our present government and Justin Trudeau funded mainstream media are waging what I call the largest campaign of misinformation in history. What should have been the biggest news story of the year got little to no coverage last week. This was the conclusion of the Mueller Inquiry and how he found no evidence of TrumpRussia collusion. I hope we understand the magnitude of this. This was a narrative that was endlessly pounded by our corrupt media. When a Clinton News Network senior executive was caught live on tape in June of 2017 saying they are making everything up for the sake of ratings I thought the story would for surely be over. Although the endless rumours, accusations and innuendoes continued. In the end it is the biggest media con job in history. This isn’t a pro Trump or anti Trump observation. The horrifying part is how a narrative was created and a coordinated campaign of propaganda was able to string an entire planet along for 2.5 years. Even
more horrifying is how Canadians were somehow convinced we should pay attention to fake election stories from another country when we have 100% proven election manipulation here in Canada. We have the most incompetent corrupt leader in Canadian history and for some inexplicable reason so many Canadians are more worried about the leader of another country. The power of propaganda is truly frightening. Sadly it looks like our Alberta election may be won or lost on narratives and propaganda. Our left wing media has taken their bias to a whole new level. As has been pointed out previously our media is roughly 90-95% left so this is the percentage of pro NDP, anti UCP coverage. If you aren’t seeking out the other 5-10% from commentators like Danielle Smith from CHQR in Calgary or Licia Corbella who writes for the Calgary Herald rest assured you are getting biased news. Look at the phenomena that is the CBC. What a flawed country we have when our tax dollars go to help the NDP and Liberals win elections. The narratives are flying around like crazy. I’m sure you have heard many of them but let’s
debunk some of them. The main issue is narratives don’t involve any facts, it is just a theory. False narrative #1: Rachel Notley has said Jason Kenney is going to divide us. Before we had a change of government in this province and country I was a white, Christian, private business owner who thought legal immigrants should be welcome into our country. Now I and those who think like me are racists, white supremacists, far right, alt right, Nazis, anti gay, anti immigration, homophobic, Islamophobic, white nationalist, tax cheating sewer rats. If you want to argue Jason Kenney is going to divide us even more than we already are that is fine but let’s stop this fake diversity is our strength narrative our Premier and PM keep pedalling as we have never been so divided. In the last 4 years we have been divided by our media and government into sub groups and plotted against each other. False Narrative #2: Tax breaks only help the rich. Because this is the business I am in this one drives me bonkers. This narrative is absolute 100% nonsense. Let’s look at the United States where upon taking office Donald Trump implemented a large cut in corporate taxes and regula-
Letter
The bottom line is that the Town spent more money to have an outside contractor come into complete this project because another outside contractor (engineer) wanted to overcharge it for services. Allied Paving heavily considered moving our operations out of this community taking with it over 40 seasonal jobs, and millions of dollars spent in
the local economy. We decided to stay because we grew up in this Town, and we want to see it flourish. Reading this morning that other companies continue to go out of business in this community, when I know how my local government treated us, makes me wonder if this Town is doomed for failure. Sincerely Yuri Wishloff
Continued from Page 4 His refusal baffled me as it is his job, and in the best interest of both the Town and its tax payers to get as many qualified bids as possible, I immediately took my concerns to the CAO and then the mayor. They both stated they would do nothing.
tions, both of which help business owners. The results led to unemployment in general being at an all-time low but most importantly at an alltime low for all minority groups, women and LGBTQ. Oil based economies like Texas and North Dakota are booming. The unemployment rate in North Dakota is currently 3.0%, compared to 6.8% in Alberta. If you hear a politician using this false narrative under no circumstances should you vote for them as they have demonstrated a complete lack of basic economic knowledge. False Narrative #3: The NDP are going to bal-
ance the budget in 2023. I have no way of knowing if this is false but it is important to know the facts so you can be the judge of whether or not this will happen. The roughly $75 billion of debt that Justin Trudeau is going to rack up is the most in Canadian history for a PM during a non war or recessionary time. When you break it down the roughly $46 billion that the NDP have racked up this is 5 times more per capita than Justin Trudeau who did the worst job in Canadian history. False Narrative #4: You can’t ever make any cuts to social spending. If you have even the slight-
est working knowledge of how debt works you will know that we have 2 options in Alberta. Make small cuts now or make big cuts later. We have an aging population that is going to add major stress to our system. In addition, thanks to completely incompetent leadership we don’t want to utilize our Resource Sector to provide income for social programs. Lastly, 4 more years of Justin Trudeau will probably mean not just big cuts but gigantic cuts. False Narrative #5: Jason Kenney is anti gay. The NDP sadly are using an attack ad that goes back to the 80s. Continued on Page 6

FROM WHERE I SIT
A Tale of Two Machines
BY HAZEL ANAKA I’ve had a Singer sewing machine forever. My first one has since been passed onto Hilary who I'm sure hasn’t removed it from its hard plastic integrated carrying case. I can’t remember when I bought my current one or how much I paid for it. I do know the Singer store I got it from is no longer in business. I know this because the sewing machine crapped out. Since our house project, I’ve needed it to hem some of Roy’s pants (boring) and modify curtain panels for my office (not boring). Plowing through the multi layers of a denim hem brought on its death gasp. I broke and replaced a needle. Then it stopped picking up the bobbin thread which made it a rather big and expensive paperweight. I googled Singer sewing machine repair places in Edmonton but didn’t relish the idea of a couple trips and the cost. My mom recommended a man near Mundare. I made contact and dropped my machine off. Orest was the guy asking
about age and cost of my machine. About a week later, Roy picked it up. Orest has been unwilling to risk cracking the case on someone else’s machine. The machine was working with the caveat that he hadn’t been able to completely open the case up to tighten the set screw on the shaft so the repair might not last. It didn’t. With the housewarming party behind us, I was again able to focus on mundane irritants like this. I googled sewing machine repair and how to open up a Singer. I stumbled across a video of a guy teaching potential service technicians who emphasized that the case is strong and one needn’t worry about cracking it. That’s all the go-ahead I needed. I protected the antique table in my office with an airline blanket. (Remember the olden days when you could get a blanket on a plane if you were cold? Didn’t think so. I bought mine at a surplus store many moons ago…but I digress). I get my tool box and start removing all the screws. Eventually Roy and a set of pry bars so unbelievably petit and cute get the thing open. I’d called Orest earlier to tell him what we were going to do and promised an update, one way or the other. Within an hour, he was making a house call with his little orange tool box. It seems that one of the set screws
had never been tightened at the factory. Then he adjusted the timing. Then I mentioned how I hated the foot pedal. It either did nothing or goosed it. In no time he had it open and was oiling something or other. While he was working away, I made Roy bring in my antique Singer in a curved wooden carrying case. Next thing I know, Orest is working on that one. I’d never even tried using it. I loved it because of the scrollwork on the metal inspection plates and the gold and red scroll designs all over the body of the machine. It’s also got a bullet shaped bobbin and knee bar control. A machine unbelievably beautiful, to my eyes. Soon, it’s purring and he's testing the stitch pattern. In the meantime, I’m googling the serial number in the hopes of figuring out its age and value. Near as I can tell, it’s from about 1904. A similar looking one on eBay had no bids with a reserve of $65. I can tell this will not be part of my retirement portfolio, especially since I’d paid $75 for it twenty years ago. Here’s what I know. It took a combination of old-school, hands-on experience from a guy who loves a challenge and was willing to make a house call plus some borderline useful hightech info from the internet plus my willingness to fix the damn thing or chuck it out that led to a fun couple hours.
I won’t tell you how little he charged because we hope he raises his rates. The ten-dollar tip
made him smile as did looking at some of my antique spoons of thread. And I’m thrilled with not
one, but two machines: one a workhorse, one a thing of beauty, from where I sit.
Letter: Lies of politics
all costs. False Narrative #6: Those people wanting to implement radical sex ed curriculums are harmless people who just care about the kids. Rachel Notley formed a partnership with former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynn and she even went as far as to bring her in to mentor us on a number of things including our sex ed curriculum. Kathleen Wynn utilized a man named Benjamin Levin to act as the main architect of their sex ed curriculum. In 2009 Mr. Levin noted he was in complete control of the sex ed curriculum. In 2015 Mr Levin was arrested for being a Paedophile. So this whole your kids are safe in our hands narrative is one you better be careful about. Speaking of Licia Corbella she had a very disturbing article on Dec 4, 2018 about a GSA situation gone wrong here in Alberta. Lastly I have heard Jason Kenney is far right, Rachel Notley says he is oppressive to women’s rights. I have even heard that you are a White Nationalist if you vote UCP. These words have become so grossly overused they have become meaningless to me and without any context and facts I just ignore them as propaganda.
When it comes to pipelines I have a very hard time knowing where Rachel Notley and Justin Trudeau stand. They both say they want pipelines yet their actions don’t always show this. Why don’t they go after foreign funded protestors? Why don’t they utilize Vivian Krause who has done an amazing job of uncovering how foreign money is messing with our pipelines and resource sector? Why don’t they go after climate change people who are spreading lies? Why do they keep appointing people into government positions that are hard-core anti pipeline, anti Resource (Ed Whitingham most recently provincially). If you aren’t aware of the scope of the anti pipeline/Resource people that have been brought into government you would be very alarmed, check out the attached link. https://tunein.com/pod casts/News/Afternoons -with-Rob-Breakenridgep939476/?topicId=12971 7897 Vote as you wish this election but please don’t vote based on a narrative of propaganda. Lastly can we please stop calling each other names, we are all Albertans. Ian Erickson, Viking, AB.
Continued from Page 5 It throws Mother Theresa and Jason Kenney under the bus as anti gay because of injustices that occurred at a Mother Theresa Aids Clinic in San Francisco. “It is dangerous that we have rhetoric coming from the left (NDP, Liberals) that say there are parties out there (UCP) that are taking away LGBTQ rights, this is a straight up lie and it is designed to create fear and division.” Not my words but those of UCP Communications Advisor Harrison Fleming who is LGBTQ. He made it clear in a March 26th interview with the previously mentioned Danielle Smith that the LGBTQ movement like so many other movements have been hijacked by the radicals. He sadly indicated that the Pride movement has shunned members that are in the police or military. The mainstream media of course avoids these type of stories like the plague as the Jason Kenney is anti gay narrative must be protected at

Malowany hit the ground running for Alberta Advantage Party BY JOHN MATHER When the writ was dropped for the April 16 provincial election, Alberta Advantage candidate Ron Malowany was ready to hit the ground running. And its paid off he admits, because he’s been to every small community in the Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville Constituency and is optimistic about what he’s hearing at the doors. “It’s very positive,” he said. “They’re looking for a change. And since
people know we were the Wild Rose Party we’re getting good positive feedback.” The Alberta Advantage Party is a spinoff from the former Wildrose Party, by members who didn't want to join Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party. Alberta Advantage Party is led by former Wildrose Party co-founder, Marilyn Burns. He states seniors are one of the big issues he’s hearing about. He’s also hearing about crime and,

The electrician, who also helps out at his family farm, admits he was well prepared for the election and that has allowed him to crisscross the constituency. Malowany plans to
attend all the forums in the constituency, but also one in St. Paul that is being put on by a school division, which overlaps the constituency boundary. “People are very positive to our message,” he explains. “The status quo isn’t working for them anymore.”

Dry Eye is a problem for 90 percent of Albertans, but it can be treated - Lamont Dr. Scott Lopetinsky MAUREEN SULLIVAN Albertans have been suffering from dry eye symptoms, almost one in three have experienced dry eye symptoms and have not done anything to treat it. Dr. Scott Lopetinsky of Lamont Vision Centre has been working with the Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO) to raise awareness about dry eye symptoms and the importance of proper treatment. A new study by the AAO reveals many are battling the symptoms of dry eye. Stinging, gritty, scratchy and uncomfortable eyes are just some of the signs that Alberta optometrists are encouraging people to be on the lookout for. Given the changing seasons, many people may mistake seasonal allergies for the condition of dry eye, and are not aware that appointments to treat dry eye are covered by Alberta Health Care. “Many Albertans aren’t even aware that they are suffering from an eye condition,” says Dr. Lopetinsky. “Often times we see patients try and treat the symptoms themselves, not realizing that dry eye can be a real issue and that their optometrist can help by properly assessing the cause and providing the best course of treatment.” The survey by the AAO revealed that 90 per cent of Albertans have experienced the symptoms which also include fluctuating

In moderate to or, most common among severe cases, dry eye Albertans, the feeling of symptoms can lead to something foreign in the blurred vision, light seneye (74 per cent) and sitivity or even periods of excess tearing in teary eyes (74 per cent).

vision. While over-thecounter drops or lubricating eye treatments can temporarily mask the symptoms, Dr. Lopetinsky points out that these can, in some cases, make the situation worse. In fact, symptoms of dry eye may be indicative of a larger issue such as an eyelid infection or disease, which would require a proper diagnosis and treatment from an optometrist. “I would encourage everyone to visit their optometrist for dry eye symptoms, as we are your best line of defense against any underlying issues that may be causing the problem,” he says. “Appointments to treat conditions like dry eye, an eye infection or sudden changes in vision are covered by Alberta Health Care – the first step is to book an appointment.”

Rural crime concerns heard by Stinson
BY JOHN MATHER With seven names crowding the ballot for the 2019 Alberta provincial election in the Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville constituency, area residents will undoubtedly come in contact with at least one or two in the next couple of weeks. Freedom Conservative of Alberta Party flag bearer, Malcolm Stinson got his signs during last weekend and they have been sprouting up ever since. “As a new party our logo wasn’t finalized until recently,” he admitted. Stinson said the two main concerns in this constituency are the economy and rural crime. “The main two economic factors affecting our constituency are oil
and gas and farming,” said Stinson. “They’re both being punished and much of that hurt is self inflicted and more is coming from Ottawa.” The NDP also isn’t helping the situation, he states. On rural crime Stinson adds, “Our party position is a man’s home is his castle and they have the right to defend themselves, their property and their family.” He said his family farms in the area and the ongoing thefts from the property have “pretty much become a fact of life.” He admits the police can’t be everywhere and people are becoming very tired of putting up with it. “Those are two areas, that touch people quite deeply,” he said. “People
in the city don’t realize how much of a problem that is and its ignored by people living in the city unfortunately. “My main belief is that a strong thriving economy is the base on which everything else comes from.” He adds Malcolm you can’t have quality health care or good education programs without a strong economy. “That’s the foundation of the house,” he said. Stinson plans to campaign in all the towns in the constituency. He has also been busy door knocking in Fort Saskatchewan and Vegreville.
Stinson is a triathlete and he plans, once the weather warms up a bit, to ride his bicycle from F o r t Saskatchewan through to Bruderheim, Lamont and Mundare on his way out to Vegreville. He’s hoping to do this the Saturday Stinson before the election and then on the Sunday he wants to ride to Andrew and then on to Two Hills. Stinson said he’s been impressed with the reception he’s received at the doors. “We doorknocked in Fort Saskatchewan and of about 100 people only one would say they’re not interested. Most of
the people are very positive.” He adds he’ll be using newspapers and social media to get the majority of his message out, because “that reaches a lot more people than door knocking.” He feels people want change saying the NDP winning the last election is an accidental government. Yet, he adds, there’s “something fundamentally wrong with
Jason Kenney.” “Our party stands for both economic and social freedoms,” he states. “And that’s based on our libertarian roots.” Another thing that sets his party apart, he states, is that each member would be free to vote with their own conscience and the will of the constituency.” “We won’t have a party whip,” said Stinson.
NEWSPAPERS THAT’S AMAZING! HERE’S HOW: You mean
are still outperforming other media?
• Readers spend more time with print advertising than they do with electronic advertising. Newspapers are tangible. Newspapers can be saved and scrapbooked. • Newspapers close the sale of products. Other mediums are better at driving high volume response, but the close rate on newspapers is higher because of a better educated (about the product) buyer informed through newspaper ads.
• In a Canada-wide survey in 2015, newspapers were the number one media, as chosen by vehicle buyers, for finding information which closed the purchase of cars, trucks, SUVs and all motor vehicles.
CLOSE RATES: According to Media Bids, Newspapers are still outperforming the following media by: • 40% - higher than internet • 30% - higher than radio • 22% - higher than TV
PROPER USEAGE: NEWSPAPERS If you have used
for years,
have you been advertising correctly? One reason you may not have been, is that most newspaper customers have such faith in the historic reliability of newspapes that they only put the ad in once.
NOBODY WOULD PUT A TV, RADIO, OR INTERNET AD ON ONCE! • Media Bids statistics show that although results from newspapers can be expected to be good, the key to a successful advertising campaingn is:

Green candidate Trotter wants diversification BY JOHN MATHER Rebecca Trotter, a Rotarian, who has been active in the Fort Saskatchewan community for years, will run for the Green Party in the Fort SaskatchewanVegreville constituency. “The issues I’ve noted personally are a lot of people seem crippled by the ebb and flow in the oil industrial,” she said. “People seem to be suffering. They can’t pay mortgages and are very stressed. “I feel it’s vitally important to diversify our economy so we can break free from our dependence on oil. We need to introduce cleaner technologies, so people can cross train to learn different trades.” She feels previous governments have failed the province by talking
about diversification, but never moving towards it. “We need to diversify so we’re not so reliant on it,” she states. “The Green Party is not anti oil. That’s a big myth. It’s a misunderstanding. It’s a renewable resource, but we just don’t want to be so reliant on it.” She adds farmers are facing challenges in their crop production. “We’re seeing more want more GMO products, but consumers aren’t necessarily buying them.” She points out some restaurant chains are moving away from meat products and the plantbased products are proving popular. She fully supports the hemp plant construction and hemp initiatives taking place in Bruderheim and Lamont County.
“I’ve been a supporter being behind.” Recognizing the conof hemp for many, many years,” she states. “I’m stituency is very large, ahead of the game in my she plans on reaching to life.

“We have an amazing constituency and have great opportunities here,” she said. “We have to stop concentrating on one resource.” She points out the Green Party is a big promoter of eco tourism and Elk Island Park is in this constituency. “We want to help people transition to different ways of doing thing … we need to make sure there is broadband throughout this area … we need to build on healthcare in the area. “What we need is a rural initiative strategy,” she passionately states. “It’s 2019 and we still have people without internet service. The community halls have shriveled up and people now reach out on social media whether we like it or not.”
We need to ensure that all Albertans receive the services that the province is supposed to provide,” she said. “If we dump these issues on municipalities, you end up dealing with too much cross boundary bureaucrats.” “I’m tired of sitting back and wondering why we’re just talking about these things in 2019,” she said. “We can lead the way. Enough talking, lets start doing something.” Trotter will be attending all the all candidate meetings throughout the constituency. People interested in the Green Party can find out more at greenartyofalberta.ca. Trotter has a profile in the candidates section.
Entertainment at manor and lodge MAUREEN SULLIVAN The residents of Father Filias Manor in Mundare and Beaverhill Lodge in Lamont enjoyed an hour of music and fellowship on Mar. 28, provided by Ed Chubak, Keith Hango and Sid Spiker.

Letter: Is climate change man made? Important to consider this objectively the U.N. Organization have made up their minds. The measure of CO2 change for every country is based on population i.e. per person. The base year for measuring change in each nations CO2 generated, I presume is 2005, as per Agreement signed by P.M. Trudeau at the 2015 Paris Accord. There are numerous major CO2 generating occurrences attributable to humans which leave their footprint in Earth's record and on the environment. Also presumably on the catastrophic concerns of
rising oceans and melting glaciers i.e. • Conflagration of the 2nd World War and wars before and after and the burning of the Iraqui oilfields lasting over 12 months. • Development, testing and use of Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, all subsequent testing and refinement of nuclear warheads by an increasing number of nations. • Explosive effects and intense combustion of launching space satellites by an increasing number of nations. • Drilling and explo-
Bugs: MAUREEN SULLIVAN Encouraging beneficial insects was a presentation by Mike Jenkins, Pest Management Coordinator, City of Edmonton, at Walker School on March 26 in Bruderheim. The evening was sponsored by the Bruderheim Agricultural Society. Not all bugs are annoying, biting, or rivals of humanity, he said. There are many beneficial bugs that we need for managing pest populations, getting rid of decaying matter and even helping out gardens grow, ac-
cording to Jenkins. "Three main categories of bugs we need are parasitoids, predators and pollinators. They are not only essential to our ecosystem but to our survival as well," said Jenkins. Parasitoids kill insects we consider pests by injecting their eggs into other insects or their eggs. Examples of parasitoids are bees and wasps. A giant wasp will drill deep into wood to destroy burrowing insect larvae. Pollinators help plants
sive fracking of the Earth’s crust started in 2009 to access formerly inaccessible oil pools. (Southern U.S.A.) • Aliso Canyon's mega release of methane gas over 133 days, as well leaking methane from outdated obsolete facilities. • Deforestation and slash burning of the Amazonian Rain Forest. Major Volcanic eruptions have been ongoing since Earth's recovery from the Ice Age, contributing immeasurable volumes of carbon and other pollutants into the atmosphere, sufficient in
some cases to blot out the sun. Is Climate Change Man Made? In my opinion the answer is yes and no. Unquestionably the preceding record of Combustion carried out by humans leads to a damning condemnation that humans are causing climate change; however with reflection and to be specific, consider the following; 1) The true perpetrators in the majority of cases are Sovereign Nations and Industries, not individual humans, except in the case of deforestation of Amazonian Rain
Forests carried out by humans. 2) Nature in the form of forest fires and volcanic eruptions have a monumental G.G. effect on the countries in which they occur. 3) The incomplete formula for measuring CO2, adopted by the U.N. Climate Change Organization does not reflect the true measure of a nation’s carbon footprint according to Natural Science. a) massive carbon sink forests are not recognized b) methane gas, most powerful greenhouse gas is not included in the global warming formula.
c) wars, natural disasters, all industrial and scientific experimentation are monumental contributors. These three major flaws as well as the list of World Scale contributions stand out, to influence my decision; Everyday human activity is not the driver of climate change; Certainly not in Canada. In old world densely populated areas with sparsely forested regions, the answer, perceptions and human contribution may be entirely different. W.B. Iwankow (Senior Citizen)
Beneficial bugs will help add to a healthy ecosystem in local yards reproduce, like beetles, butterflies and ants. A leaf-cutter bee is a native pollinator that is more efficient at pollinating than honeybees. Predators eat insects we consider pests like the ladybug and lacewing. A ground beetle will eat soft squishy bugs like caterpillars and slugs. Encourage a healthy ecosystem in your yard by not using pesticides, leaving leaf litter on the ground for insects to live in and allowing the beneficial bugs to thrive, Jenkins explained.
The crowd in Bruderheim were fascinated with the bug information that Mike Jenkins, Pest Management Coordinator for the City of Edmonton (dressed in black) brought with him on March 26 at Walker School.
Speeding month: you’ve been warned In conjuction with the Alberta Traffic Safety Action Plan, the RCMP will be focusing on speed related offenses and any other high risk driving offences during the month of April. When you slow down, you increase the safety of you and your passengers as well as other road users. Almost three out of ten fatal crashes are the result of driving at a speed unsafe for the prevailing road conditions, according to the RCMP. Obey all posted speed limits on roads as well as in school zones and playground areas (30 km/h), construction zones (60 km/h or less), and passing emergency vehicles. Use common sense and slow down in bad weather, at night and when travelling on poorly lit roads. Slow down on unfamiliar roads. The RCMP will be spending the month of April checking for speeders all across Alberta.
Spring Bring Food Bank challenge Can Bruderheim’s generosity be defeated? MAUREEN SULLIVAN Spring Bring is a challenge by the County of Lamont Food Bank from April 15 to May 15. The food bank is challenging the towns and villages of the county, the businesses and the county councillors to collect the most food donations for the food bank. Donations can be dropped off at the Lamont Alliance Church on Thursdays between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The Town of Bruderheim donated the most
food in the Fall Haul challenge in October of 2018. The AGM of the Lamont Hamper Committee also known as the County of Lamont Food Bank occurred on Mar. 20. Election of Officers were, Colette McBride remains Board Chair, Susan Campbell is Vice Chair, Chris Mintenko is Treasurer, Jody Zachoda is Recording Secretary, Directors were Carolyn Olechow, Valerie Mintenko, Jason Wytrykush, Judy Shaw and Maureen Sullivan.

14 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, April 3, 2019
Letter: Canada learns nothing from its past wars In 2003 George W Bush invaded Iraq. Every newspaper and TV broadcaster in the U.S. supported that invasion with the exception of Phil Donahue who was fired by MSNBC for his troubles. The ostensible reason for the invasion was Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. The real reason was the lust for Iraqi oil. The weapons inspectors said that 90% of Saddam Hussein’s weapons had
been destroyed and the ones (if any) that remained had probably deteriorated. So why could Bush invade Iraq? Because all the news media in the country lied and the NY Times and the Washington Post ended up apologizing for it. This would have been a lot harder for the corporate-backed government to pull it off if the populace had been better informed. In this century alone
the U.S. has (often with the help of Canada and a lot of other countries} invaded or supported U.S. Coups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Honduras, Haiti and Ukraine. All of these wars were supported by the Federal Liberal and Conservative parties and the NDP supported two of them. There are a lot of good people in these parties who should be very angry now that they have learned the results.
President Obama after the fact said, “We really should have thought through Libya.” You think? I have never heard a CBC or CTV reporter, interviewer or interviewee tell us that it is we in the West (mostly NATO countries) that have caused all of the refugees and most of the terrorists too. Think for a moment of what our intervention in these seven countries has wrought? Think of the

deaths, the wounded, the grief, the pain, the suffering and cost, all because of one-sided opinions in the mass media. Now Canada and our mass- media are spoiling for a war in Venezuela. Has anyone heard or read on the news one positive thing about Nicholas Maduro, President of Venezuela or a negative thing about the illegal pretender Juan Guido? What should we be
doing about it? Let’s start by demanding this Liberal government stop creating another failed state in Venezuela. Let’s demand we get out of NATO and make a big cut in military spending and then work for world Peace. The only thing we learn from war is that we learn nothing from war.
