Lamont County passes its 2015 final budget Michelle Pinon Editor
Lamont County passed its 2015 final budget on Tuesday, May 5. The operations budget showed revenues of $25,290.856; and expenditures of $25,240,856 for a surplus of $50,000 (this amount is less the budgeted amortization of $1,860,651). The proposed 2015 capital budget showed revenues and expenditures of $11,894,748. “As far as the budget is
concerned, I think it is a good news budget for residents, as council has decided not to increase mill rates, mainly due to an approximate five per cent increase in the linear assessment,” stated Reeve Wayne Woldanski. “Council has approved an ambitious capital budget for this coming year of $11.89 million with $9.9 million in road and building infrastructure projects, and another $1.94 in equipment replacement.” Woldanski went on to say, “Currently, our
Wayne Woldanski biggest challenge is funding our major infrastructure projects; bridge replacement and repairs and road upgrading, so as far as the new govern-
ment is concerned, we are optimistic that there will not be any major chances to provincial grant funding sources for municipalities, and are hopeful that the new government will consider reinstating Bridge and Resource Road funding to rural municipalities. As an example, our current budget has $950,000 in bridge repair and replacement projects, which at one time was a provincial responsibility. We are also encouraged by the new govern-
ment’s vision to add value to our resources as a means of diversifying our economy which would mean processing more of our energy resources in Alberta. The AIHA has been a longtime advocate for adding value to our resources through expansion of the petrochemical, refining and upgrading sectors. This would increase provincial and municipal revenue sources, and provide a more stable revenue stream for the provincial government while also creating more
higher paying jobs for Albertans. In terms of taxation, Woldanski explained, “As far as assessment is concerned, because we are working with a new assessor, the entire county is going to be assessed over four years, and this started in the west end. The reason some properties are seeing such an increase is partly because some properties weren’t assessed correctly in the past, and partly because the land values in the Industrial Heartland have increased.

Littlewood ready to listen and serve local constituents New Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA already making good on campaign promise Michelle Pinon Editor
Even Jessica Littlewood had a hard time believing the numbers as they
rolled in during election night, but by 10 p.m. on May 5, it was pretty much a certainty that she would be the new MLA for the Fort SaskatchewanVegreville Constituency. “It was such a whirlwind,” said Littlewood describing the atmosphere and activity surrounding her as she waited and watched the results come in with her good friend and campaign volunteer Dave Trustcott. Littlewood said she was also incredibly excited to see other NDP colleagues win their ridings throughout most of the province. She added that electors in this area will be excited to learn that she will be moving to Fort Saskatchewan with her husband. Littlewood said many voters asked her during the election campaign if she would be willing to relocate to the region if she was to win the seat; to which she

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP’s targeted enforcement successful Over the past number of weeks as part of a targeted enforcement plan to disrupt illicit drug trafficking and use in the Fort Saskatchewan area, RCMP have arrested and charged a number of adults and seized significant quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as stolen property and weapons.
A total of 10 people were charged with a number of offenses on March 13, April 17, and May 1. Craig Wince, 41 of Chipman was one of those individuals charged. He was released on bail and is scheduled to appear in Fort Saskatchewan Provincial Court on May 21 to answer to the
charges of trafficking X 2, possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of property obtained by crime, resisting arrest and failure to comply with probation order. The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP remain committed to public safety and public health through
strict and on-going enforcement of Canada’s drug laws, and heightening public awareness of
the dramatic and devastating impact the abuse of drugs have upon individuals, families and
friends, and our community.

Opinion From Where I Sit: Fascinating
Fenske thanks supporters Dear friends and constituents: It has been a wonderful three years. I am honoured to have represented Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville and you. The election is certainly not the result I was hoping for but the results are what they are and that is politics. I want to thank the thousands of people who had the confidence in my ability to represent you and the hundreds of people whose volunteer, financial and moral support will always be remembered. You are amazing! This region has so much to be proud of: agriculture, industry, culture, recreation and an entrepreneurial spirit. Certainly there remain challenges, particularly in infrastructure and we need to pursue policies to add value to our industrial and agricultural products. Those are opportunities that can benefit those of us who live here and all Albertans. This is my community as well and I want our new government to make the right decisions that will keep our economy thriving. I look forward to meeting with MLA-elect Littlewood once she is sworn in and settled, if she would like to. Any information I can provide her in understanding the challenges and opportunities of this constituency is the least I can do. As for my future, I am taking a couple of weeks to decide where I want my career to go and whatever path that takes I can assure you I will continue to be involved in the communities in this region. Thank you for all the messages of support over the past week and when you see me at a community function please say 'Hi' and let me know how you are doing. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. Jackie Fenske

not as titillating as one would expect having seen the show. We know adaptations of books are tricky. What makes a compelling book would likely disappoint people in the visual medium. Kerman addressed some of the differences and repeated that she is not Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling). For anyone unfamiliar with the storyline Piper was a new graduate of Smith University, in her twenties, and at loose ends in the early 1990s. She got involved romantically with an older woman and began a life trafficking drugs and laundering money. Ten years later she was indicted, pled guilty and began a fifteen month sentence at Danbury Penitentiary in Connecticut. Her memoir chronicles her time behind bars. Since her release from prison Kerman has worked to increase awareness of the prison system. She told us that
Michelle Pinon Editor
while the United States has only five percent of the world’s population, it has the highest rate of prisoners in the world at twenty-five percent. She spoke about the disproportionately high number of poor and coloured people incarcerated. By her own admission her sentence as a white, well educated, well off female was mild; fifteen months with thirteen served. She spoke about the horror of solitary confinement. That no one going into it comes out the same. That the mentally ill are most likely to end up there because they can’t follow the rules and are the very ones most damaged by the experience. She talked about the lack of rehabilitation programming or preparation for release. On her release date she didn’t really know she’d be going for sure. She was sent out into the street wearing men’s clothing and with a twenty-six dollar ‘gratuity’ in her

pocket. If Larry, her boyfriend and eventual husband hadn’t been there with a ride, she would have been lost. Unfortunately that is the reality for most and the high rate of recidivism is not surprising. She spoke about the impact of incarceration on families and loved ones. About the women who have to leave their children behind or give birth in jail. She spoke of the cruelty of the system; the staggering number of people imprisoned for drug offences and yet the problem persists. She regrets the act that got her jailed (because of the addictions it aided and the pain she caused) but is using her experience to teach writing to prisoners and to raise awareness of the issues by speaking to audiences large and small. A real life, a TV series; fascinating no matter how you cut it, from where I sit.

In Mundare, participants were from Grades 5-8. Teacher Adrienne Mills said classes spent several weeks researching candidates, looking at platforms and debating the various issues. By the end of the school day on May 4th, more than 87,000 students from 792 schools had reported their results, representing all 87 electoral divisions.

Town of Mundare to hold byelection following Mary Greening’s resignation Michelle Pinon Editor
The Town of Mundare will be accepting nominations on Wednesday, May 20 between 10 a.m. and 12 noon at the town office. Mary Greening, who resided in the community since 1994, told the Lamont Leader, that leaving Mundare was a “difficult decision,” and something she had pondered about long and hard over the past year. Mary Greening After much deliberating, Greening decided to retire, and return to her home province of Ontario. She hails from Forrestville, near Hamilton, and will be enjoying the Lake Erie lifestyle and planting petunias while catching up with family and friends she hasn’t seen for many years. Greening says her mother, who resides with her, was also a main factor in her decision to return home
to their roots. “Mundare has been an awesome place to live,” said Greening. She also enjoyed her time on town council, serving eight years altogether from 2007 to 2015. Being a member of town council, Greening said, “You become part of a group and represent the community as a group.” Not only did she serve on council, but held positions on several committees and volunteered with many activities in the community. As far as advice, Greening said the number one skill you have to have as a councillor is the ability to listen. This holds true whether you are in a university classroom or in council chambers. Being a councillor also took her outside of her community, and she learned there are larger considerations at play when you look into regional issues. As for advice, Greening said, “One of the main things you have to have is an open mind, and be willing to listen to all sides of the argument and make every effort to make an informed decision. She recommends gathering as much information as you can on the subject, and listening to all points of view before making any kind of decision. “When you are on council, the goal is to make decisions that improve the quality of life for residents in the community... To be a part of that was a humbling, rewarding and fulfilling experience.”

Helical Pier Systems acquires Landcore Technologies Inc. Industry leader ready to tap into new markets Helical Pier Systems Ltd. (HPS) has entered into an agreement to purchase pile driving/drilling services company, Landcore Technologies Inc. (Landcore). The transaction, effective June 1, 2015, will make HPS an industry leader in both helical (screw) piles and pile driving, diversifying the service options to customers. “We are pleased to share the news of Helical Pier Systems’ acquisition of Lancore,” says HPS President Alvin Pyke. “Our company has
always prided itself on providing full-service optimized foundation designs, and the expansion of our pile driving business will enhance the high quality options available to our customers. We’re one of the few companies our size that is focused on piling and, with almost 40 years of operations, we continue to demonstrate our innovative expertise in the field.” In addition to broadening the service offering, this transaction opens doors to a new customer base that was previously
untapped by HPS. The company, which has an office in Sherwood Park and site in Lamont, is strongly positioned in Alberta and British Columbia, and will expand existing operations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba through its pile driving operations. HPS is also active in the United Sates with a center of operations in Houston, Texas. Pyke went on to say that Landcore’s President, Dave Roberts, will remain onboard in a senior management role.
HPS will also welcome current Landcore personnel to its team. HPS has been an industry leader in custom engineered piling since 1977. From design, engineering, fabrication and installation of customized piles to the value added services of surveying, welding, and pre-drilling. HPS offers full-service optimized foundation designs for customers in the oil and natural gas, utility and industrial sectors.

Chipman youth drama club holds first ever play Michelle Pinon Editor
Young actors with the Chipman Players didn’t have to do much clawing or hissing during their recent performance of Kung Fu Kitty to win over the audience. Around 90 friends, family and community members enjoyed the inaugural performance of the Junior Chipman Players at the Chipman National Hall on Friday, May 1. Keiron Willis, club president and play director, praised the group of young actors for all of their hard work and dedication to the play in recent months. Willis also thanked parents for their commitment, and getting the actors to and from weekly rehearsals. The youth acting group is open to all children between the ages of 8 - 12. “The Junior Chipman Players were created to fulfill two niches. The first was to provide an environment like the Chipman Players but for a younger age group with plays that are appropriate for them. The second was to provide families a chance to attend a performance that would be affordable, and entertaining, for parents and children.” As to why these particular ages were selected? “We chose this age group because they are old enough to be able to read the script adequately, and we cut off at 12 years because after that, I believe they are able to join or take
drama in junior high school,” explained Willis. Kung Fu Kitty, added Willis, “Is a script that take advantage of the energy that this group has! The play fighting was a big hit with the kids. No pun intended.” While there were several amusing punchlines in the play, the group is serious about making the group a permanent fixture in the community, and Willis said to watch for registration details in September.

Take care of yourself
Gwen Randall-Young
"There is a connection between self-nurturing and self-respect" ~ Julia Cameron Is your life making you sick? Do you feel stressed, tired, have low energy, and little tolerance for frustration? If so, you are either doing too much, doing things you do not enjoy, or doing things with people who are not good for you. If any of the above apply, you are living in a toxic situation, and eventually it will make you sick. The immune system becomes suppressed, and when that happens we are vulnerable to all kinds of illness, from colds to cancers. This does not happen overnight, of course. The problem is that once we become sick, the toxicity has already gone on for a long time. Consequently, it takes time to heal. If we are still in the toxic
situation, the healing process will be slow. If you feel your health is being compromised by your situation, it is imperative to do what you can to change things. If that is impossible, then you must find ways to compensate. Doing things that are nurturing, getting plenty of sleep, and eating nutritious foods are basic. Spending time with positive people, becoming passionate about something, be it a physical activity, creative endeavor, or volunteering can shift the energy. Refusing to dwell on the negative can also protect you from toxic effects. We must take responsibility for our physical and emotional health. We have one body, one life, so it pays to guard and protect it. Gwen Randall-Young is an author and awardwinning Psychotherapist.

May is Young Drivers Month Megan Lockhart Staff Reporter
May is Young Drivers month, and as a part of the Young Drivers Communication Campaign, some key messages have been released. Motor vehicle collisions are currently the leading cause of death and injury for youth in Alberta. While young drivers are ultimately responsible for their own actions and habits while driving, parents and guardians can also set rules, encourage good behaviour, and reinforce certain actions in their teens. Youth should be
reminded that poor driving habits can result in the loss of their license, higher insurance costs, a criminal record, injury, and death. Between the years of 2009 and 2013, 206 young drivers were killed and 12,421 were injured in collisions. Young drivers make up only a small percentage of drivers on the road, but account for the highest casualty rates due to collisions. Collision rates for young drivers are highest in their first year of unsupervised driving, and also when other teens are passengers in the vehicle. Males aged 18 to 21
are also the most likely to have consumed alcohol before driving, and driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol has significantly contributed to the number of collisions involving young drivers. Distracted driving, including distraction from passengers, and overconfidence on the road are common factors influencing young drivers. Most fatal collisions involving young drivers occur over the summer months and in September, during the afternoon or late at night on weekends. Some of the most common mistakes that young drivers make
involve crossing centre lines or driving off the road, making unsafe left turns, and following too closely. One third of all young casualties in collisions also were not wearing seatbelts. The Graduated Driver License (GDL) program is in place in an attempt to create a more controlled environment for new drivers of all ages. Drivers with a GDL have more restrictions and are allotted fewer available demerits than a full-fledged license. For more information about young drivers and GDL restrictions, visit the Alberta Saferoads website at www.saferoads.alberta.ca.
2 year old Full French polled Charolais
Chomiak Charolais purchased a 2 year old Full French polled Charolais top seller bull at the Vanderhoof, BC, all breeds bull sale on April 11. Southside Charolais owner, Ken Rose, raised Uno [bull's name], a third generation polled, thick, long, big butted, with lots of hair and muscular. Chomiak Charolais currently have 3 out of 4 sires which were top sellers in their respective sales. The Chomiak Charolais sires are selected on the basis of what the commercial cattle folk desire, which is calving ease, need to be chunky and excellent weaning weight.

Battle River Railway holds annual meeting The Galahad Hall was nearly packed last month as shareholders of the Battle River Railway (BRR) gathered to hear how things at the railway were going. Ken Eshpeter, Chairman of BRR, welcomed everyone to the meeting, reminding them that the railway is theirs. There was lots of news. Matt Enright, Grain Marketing Manager for the BRR, reported that the total number of cars loaded last year was 3,550 consisting of 2,200 cars of grain, 1,100 cars of oil, and 250 cars of fertilizer. He also referred to the three new grain handling facilities located in Rosalind, Heisler, and Alliance and how the presence of those facilities will enhance our ability to load and blend grain. Volumes of grain loaded by BRR last year grew significantly, but that growth also brought some growing pains, namely in the area of staff. To address that issue, Beckie Kuefler has been hired on a part-time basis to assist Matt with grain marketing tasks, including grain contracting, matching trains to sellers, and car tracking. Reg Enright, M a i n t e n a n c e Supervisor, reported that BRR installed 4,400 mostly new ties last year. Tie replacement, at this time, is occurring predominantly from Forestburg west. When the line was rehabilitated in 1987 under the shortline rehabilitation program, fewer new ties were installed at that time from Forestburg to Camrose. Enright also stated that the line is in very good shape overall, as reported by an evaluation conducted by A&B Rail last summer. John Oberg, BRR Treasurer, introduced Branden Kroeger of Kroeger Joyce accountants to report on the financial standing of the BRR.
Kroeger reported that the railway had a good year financially, with significant growth in assets, total revenue, and net revenue. Rodney Strauss of Forestburg was newly elected to the board of directors as a result of the resignation of Dennis Freadrich of Forestburg. Rodney will be a great
asset to the board of directors. Ken Eshpeter thanked Dennis for his 12 years of service. Dennis was a founding member of the Battle River Producer Car Group formed in 2003 to force CN to maintain rail service on the line after they threatened to discontinue it in 2003. Dennis has also been
on the board of the Battle River Railway Co-operative since its formation in 2009, having taken his rules qualification course, allowing him to act as our initial train master. A question period followed the business portion of the meeting, after which the meeting adjourned.

Seasonal allergy sufferers may want to look to natural remedies in addition to medicine The arrival of warmer weather changes the landscape completely. The spring season can be an exciting time for naturalists and lovers of the great outdoors because they can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. But for many people, spring also marks the start of allergy season and spending time outdoors can become downright uncomfortable for them. The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says nasal allergies
affect approximately 50 million people in the United States. Allergic diseases, including asthma, are the fifth most prevalent chronic diseases among people of all ages and the third most common in children. Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, can occur in spring, summer, and/or early fall. People who experience hay fever often can attribute their symptoms to sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses, weeds, or airborne mold spores. No two allergy sufferers are alike, so medica-
tions that may work for one person may be only mildly effective for another. Treatments may target sneezing and itching but fail to clear up congestion. Those who want to avoid continual use of allergy medication may look to natural remedies to alleviate their symptoms. Whether used alone or in concert with traditional medicine, these remedies may make spending time outdoors more pleasant. • Try probiotics. Probiotics, those friend-
ly bacteria that reside in the digestive system, can do more than just treat an upset stomach. Naturopathic doctors say that probiotics also can influence the immune system and may help strengthen its response to common allergens. Since probiotics are good for replenishing healthy bacteria in the body anyway, many people may want to keep taking them once their allergy symptoms have come and gone. • Use neti pots or
saline sprays. A small amount of saltwater can rinse away allergens, such as pollen, that get lodged in the nose. These rinses also can help clear up congestion and flush out any other irritants. • Load up on omega3s. A German study published in the journal Allergy found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suffer allergy symptoms than those who didn't regularly eat these foods. Omega-3s
can help fight inflammation. Drinking more fluids and using spices in cooking can help flush out allergens as well. • Don't forget vitamin C. Vitamin C is an immune-system booster and may help prevent the formation of histamine in the body, a substance responsible for many allergy symptoms. While there are no absolutes when it comes to allergies, any amount of relief is usually most welcome.
