Flooding causes emergency in Lamont County JOHN MATHER Lamont Council has declared a state of local emergency as it grapples with spring flooding on many County roads. “We’ve got to get the message to our residents out because this is no joke,” said County Manager Robyn Singleton. County public works employees spent long hours during the weekend assessing roads, which are flooded in many areas of the County. The flooding continued well into Monday forcing the local emergency declaration at a special council meeting. Working around the clock County crews identified 40 new areas that had issues by April 24. School buses cancelled Eighteen buses were canceled on April 23 and one other was delayed due to impassable roads in Lamont County. County will be asking Elk Island School division to keep the buses off the roads for a couple of days. “We don’t want our residents driving through running water because you just don’t know what’s under it. It’s bad enough if a car gets washed out on a road, but I shudder to
think of what could happen if it were a busload of children,” said Singleton. “This is certainly the worst flooding we’ve had in recent memory,” said Reeve Wayne Woldanski. “We think it’s partially related to the severe cold weather we had in November and December with no snow cover.” He added this allowed ground frost to penetrate deep into the earth and it hasn’t warmed up enough yet to thaw that deep ground frost. That, he added, lets the snowmelt just flow to the ditches and low areas causing the flooding. Several houses north of Chipman were on a list to be evacuated because flooding has cut off two ends of a road. “That’s about a mile northeast of Chipman,” said Woldanski. “Unfortunately there is a bridge out on one end of the road and the north end intersection at Range Road 184 and Township Road 550 flooded cutting off access for those residents.” “The risk isn’t flooding, but it’s access,” said Singleton. “We’ll set up a emergency centre so people can have one central area to get updates.” Communications Co-
ordinator for the County Heather Atkinson said once those residents were contacted they decided to stay and remain with their animals. “They had supplies and weren’t going out on the roads,” she said. “But if water is restricting access to homes we ask residents to call us for assistance.” Singleton said the emergency had to cover the entire county because the snow was just starting to move and it was going to continue for sometime. “I want the extra powers for our people to be able to evacuate people where necessary,” he explained. He further commented the sides of the roads are soft and motorists won’t be able to turn around if they get in trouble. Updates on Twitter and County web page Atkinson said, on April 23, there were too many road closures to give an accurate update because “they close and they reopen, but then another area floods.” She reported that late Monday and into Tuesday there were reports of sinkholes opening up on the roads and residents had to be very careful traveling.
“Our councillor in the Andrew area, Roy Anaka, came out of his driveway and his car sank into the road – a perfectly safe looking road.” “Drivers have to take extreme caution and not drive unless absolutely necessary.” The county has posted the state of emergency on both the County web page and twitter and these will be regularily updated. “Lamont County has declared a State of Local Emergency due to spring flooding. The public is advised that for the duration of the emergency, Lamont County may take any action it deems necessary to deal with the situation,” read one message and, “Please DO NOT drive through flooded roads, due to risk of hidden hazards. DO NOT drive around road closed barriers. If you see water running over the road please report it immediately to our dedicated report line at 780-8952547 ext. 261.” read the second. County information further advised residents too slow down when traveling County roads and “be vigilant in spotting road conditions.” It went to ask drivers not to
drive through flooded areas because of the risk of hidden hazards. Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood, who attended the council meeting for a different matter, told council she had immediately contacted municipal affairs. “Once the county passed that motion, the province started its response,” she stated. “It allows us to look at different methods of support whether it’s boots on the ground, or how to fund recovery.” “It’s the entire County
in general,” said Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak on April 22. “In some cases we can’t find the culverts because of the rapid thaw.” He added where possible the County crews were steaming the culverts to get the water moving and ease flooding on the roads. He said the County is operating on “an all hands on deck” basis to keep the roads open where possible. “Certainly our main focus is on public safety.”

Opinion Conservatives the beautiful If you haven’t already heard it all with the political posturing, a new study may have taken the political cake. But wait for it… First, I don’t have to point out that everything in this day and age is political. You can’t turn on an awards show without finding out how stupid the President of the United States is, according to leftwing actors who of course know way more than the little people who may have voted the other way. In Canada, the same is often said about our Prime Minister. I will allow you, the Canadian voter, to determine the truth in that matter. Moving on, we’ve found out in previous web research that male Conservative or Republican supporters have more testosterone than Liberal or Democratic supporters from the XY gender. But on the other hand, it is well known that right-wing supporters are red neck hillbillies (chime in here with banjo music from Deliverance). But fear not, according to a new study reported in The Guardian those same red necks are actually more attractive than left wing voters. Along with that, good looking people are generally treated better, achieve a higher social status and earn more money so they see the world as a fair and good place. The authors of an American study published in the Journal of Public Economics based on comparing multiple studies, Rolfe Daus Peterson and Carl L Palmer, wrote: “Controlling for socioeconomic status, we found that more attractive individuals are more likely to report higher levels of political efficacy, identify as conservative and identify as Republican.” Fortunately for the left, their dads can still beat up right wing dads.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Trans Mountain - project overview The Trans Mountain Expansion Project was proposed in response to requests from oil companies to help them reach new markets by expanding the capacity of North America’s only pipeline with access to the West Coast. These shippers have made significant 15 and 20-year commitments that add up to roughly 80 per cent of the capacity in the expanded Trans Mountain Pipeline. On November 29, 2016, the Government of Canada granted approval for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (the Project). Earlier, on May 19, 2016, following a 29-month review, the National Energy Board (NEB) concluded the Project is in the Canadian public interest and recommended the Federal Governor in Council approve the expansion. These
approvals allow the Project to proceed with 157 conditions. In addition, the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO) issued an environmental assessment certificate for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. The original Trans Mountain Pipeline was built in 1953 and continues to operate safely today. The expansion is essentially a twinning of this existing 1,150-kilometre pipeline between Strathcona County, Alberta and Burnaby, BC. It will create a pipeline system with the nominal capacity of the system going from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day. Here are some quick facts about the expansion: It’s expected to cost approximately $7.4* billion It will create benefits including
new short and long-term jobs, jobrelated training opportunities and increases in taxes collected by all three levels of government During construction, the equivalent of 15,000 people will be working on the pipeline expansion. The expansion will also create the equivalent of 37,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs per year during operations. The combined impact on government revenue for construction and the first 20 years of expanded operations is $46.7 billion; revenues that can be used for public services such as health care and education – British Columbia receives $5.7 billion, Alberta receives $19.4 billion and the rest of Canada receives $21.6 billion It will be approximately 980 km of new pipeline Continued on Page 5

Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week MAUREEN SULLIVAN Give the gift of life. One organ and tissue donation can save up to eight lives and make life better for seventy five other people. You can be a donor at any age up to the age of 80 and sometimes beyond. There is no cost to the donor or recipient in Canada. Put yourself on the registry, and then tell your family. If your fam-
ily knows your wishes, they can easily make the decision to donate your organs and tissues in the event of your death. This should be a family discussion and parents with children should also have this conversation of what if…. The tragic death of Logan Boulet, a Humboldt Bronco and his signing of his donor card when he turned 21, just a short time before
his death has caused a great interest in others registering for organ and tissue donation. This has been termed the Logan effect, with sharp increases in registering in Saskatchewan and Alberta especially among 16 to 24 year olds. It is easy to register. You can do it in person at any Alberta Registry or online at MyHealthAlberta.ca

berths are completed and in service, the number of tankers loaded at the Westridge Marine Terminal could increase to approximately 34 per month. The existing pipeline will carry refined products, synthetic crude oils, and light crude oils with the capability for heavy crude oils. The new twin pipeline will carry heavier oils with the capability for transporting light crude oils. We plan to begin construction activities in September 2017. Engagement with communities, landowners, stakeholders and Aboriginal communities have been ongoing since 2012 and will continue through to operation. Environmental pro-
tection plans have been developed along the entire route. Volume 5 and Volume 6 of the Facilities Application cover the environmental assessment and protection planning. We will continue to conduct field studies along the route as required.
Continued from Page 4 73 per cent of the route will use the existing right-of-way, 16 per cent will follow other linear infrastructure such as telecommunications, Hydro or highways and 11 per cent will be new right-of-way It will include 193 km of reactivated pipeline 12 new pump stations will be built 19 new tanks will be added to the existing storage terminals in Burnaby (14), Sumas (1) and Edmonton (4) Three new berths will be built at Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Spring?
HAZEL ANAKA If you’ve looked out the window lately or dared to venture out with a spring jacket you know what I’m about to say. This weather sucks. Meteorological records have been broken: 168 consecutive days with temperatures below zero. Our spidey sense already knew that the winter was too damn long. We knew it because spring didn’t arrive as advertised. We knew it because of so many overcast days and unseasonably low temps. We knew it because the snow pack in the fields and ditches hasn’t shrunk very much. We knew that there were more fog advisory alerts coming to our phones than ever before. We knew it because our skin has been drier and thirstier than usual. We
knew it because it appears that spring seeding will again be delayed. And because this isn’t our first rodeo, we suspect there will be flooding, road washouts, and bodies of water to avoid in fields. We are shocked by the number of deer, as many as ten or more at a time, who are strolling through the yard presumably looking for food. We don’t see pussy willows. We see so many bales still out in the fields. We see horses wearing blankets. Our farm cats look twice as big in their thick fur coats. Calving season has, no doubt, been tougher on animals than usual. Any farmer with a shortage of hay or bedding is likely scrambling.
And yet we remain hopeful. Because really, what choice is there? Today I saw a robin. Granted she looked a little discombobulated but there she was in all her red-breasted glory. Finally something winged other than magpies, crows, ravens. Company for the skittery prairie chickens and cooing pigeons. It’s amazing how much the level of sunlight affects moods, even for those of us not suffering from SAD (seasonal affective disorder). As I write this the sun is finally blazing and the melt is on. The detritus of winter is slowly being exposed. Sigh. Pretty soon I may be able to peel off my merino wool socks and get a
pedicure. The transition from down-filled jackets, scarves, and gloves is never easy. Inevitably what a person starts out wearing in the morning or outside is stifling and sweaty inside the mall or by the end of the day. I feel sorry for anyone who booked a spring farm auction based on historic weather patterns. Oops. We’ve heard from builders that construction projects are already delayed out of the gate because of the cold, wet conditions. And we know our building season is short and hectic at the best of times. Our mini winter escape to Las Vegas in late January is long forgotten so I guess we have no choice but embrace

what Alberta has thrown us. It’s in our nature to be hopeful and resilient. Despite the above litany, there aren’t many places
on earth better than here. Even if that means leapfrogging right over spring this year, from where I sit.

Flooding causing planting delays in Lamont County JOHN MATHER Flooding in Lamont County has created road closures in several areas and will delay planting of crops for up to a month. “Last year producers were able to start seeding by late April,” said Lamont County Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak. “Those were the farmers who had gotten their crop off in 2106 and not been hampered by the wet fall.” Those wet conditions had left crops in the field for many producers and it had to be removed before the 2017 crop could be planted. This year he said there is major flooding on the
watercourse and the fields can only hold so much capacity. “I’d be very surprised if there was any seeding going on before the middle of May,” he said. He said flooding in Lamont County is much different than the southern areas of the province where flooding has caused states of emergency in the Taber and Vulcan area. “Down there it very flat and if you get an inch of water, it has nowhere to go,” he said. “Here we have changes in topography.” He added over the past decade many producers were able to break land where it had typically been wetlands.
Water takes the easiest route “Where’s the water going to go,” he states. “Water is the best engineer you can have. The water takes the easiest route.” He added industry has changed the natural flow of water through making mechanical changes in the topography as new plants are constructed. “It’s all over,” he said of the flooding. “We’ve had roads flooded south and east of Mundare, the Beaverhills area, and north towards Bruderheim. There’s no one area that’s worse than the other.” Harry Brook, a crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture in Stettler,
said the major concern with delays in seeding is making sure the crop is in before the crop insurance deadline in June. “You’d have to be concerned with the wheat and canola going in because that’s where the big money will be this year,” he said. “The guys with the big machinery – the big producers – they can get out there and cover a lot of ground. So if they’re out by May 15, it will be a little late, but
most of it will get in under the wire.” Crop insurance the important factor He said there is a deadline for getting the crop in and if they make that date, then they’re covered by insurance. He added the bigger issue is when the first killer frost would occur in the fall. He said the late start was an area of concern but it’s not as unusual as it sounds. He cited 2002
and 2013 as seasons where there was a late start in seeding. “Basically the snow melt recharged the water sources like sloughs and dugout, but to get significant moisture into the ground you still need rain,” he explained. “If you get major rain in the middle of seeding then that could cause concerns, but that again is because of the crop insurance deadline.
Bullarama ready to roar into Lamont JOHN MATHER Get those dusters out and cowboys boots polished because Bullarama Supreme comes to Lamont on Saturday, May 5. This year’s event is the 25 anniversary of the regular stop on the Bullriders of Canada circuit. Gates open at 5 p.m. at the C o n r a d Schinkinger Memorial Grounds on Highway 831 at Range Road 552. The bull riding starts at 7 p.m. with a dance to follow at 9 p.m. “Everything’s ready to go as scheduled,” said Bullarama committee chair Rebecca Joseph. “ We have country star Trevor Panezak performing at the dance following the bull bucking event.” She added Panezak has recently completed a tour with local, star Brent Kissel. The Bullarama will be held outdoors and with the recent warm weather melting the last of the winter snow, they are in
perfect condition, added Joseph. Grounds in good shape “We’re optimistic the grounds will be good to go,” she said. “They’re really looking good right now.” The organizers accept up to 30 bull riders and registration for entries
just opened Monday so the final number of entries isn’t known yet. “It’s a popular event,” Joseph states. “We’ve had riders from Australia, United States. And locally there are riders from Saskatchewan, southern Alberta and B.C.” There’s an $8,000 purse for the winners as well as points for the Bull Riders of Canada tour. Stock for the event
comes from Trach Rodeo of Boyle, Alberta. While there is nothing really planned to celebrate the event’s 25th anniversary a bus has been added to bring spectators from Vegreville along with one which comes from Fort Saskatchewan leaving from the C a n a d i a n Brewhouse. She added attendance is expected to be around the 1,000 mark. Advance tickets can be purchased in Lamont at Value Drug Mart and Lamont Liquor, and in Fort Saskatchewan at Lammele’s Western Wear. In Vegreville tickets are available at Tower Tack & Western Wear. Admission is free to kids six and under. Students (seven to 17 years) will have to pony up $10 and adults will be charged $20. The Lamont Agricultural Society will celebrate its centennial later this year at the Summer Sizzler Rodeo on July 12.

14 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, April 25, 2018
Local elected officials benefit from Heartland open house JOHN MATHER A large crowd, including elected officials from across Lamont County, was on hand as Alberta’s Industrial Heartland held its annual spring open house at Fort Saskatchewan’s Dow Centennial Centre on April 18. Presentations were made by representatives from Shell Canada (Scotford), Inter Pipeline, Nutrien, and an update from the Heartland Association on its annual community survey. “Usually we have a number of residents attending these sessions and they have questions regarding Heartland operations in the County,” said Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski. “This session was in Fort Saskatchewan, so most of the presentations were from companies operating in that area.” He went on to add if the meeting had been
held in the County, there may have been a presentation from Cenovus or Graymont to give a local perspective. “I’m on the board and a lot of the information is good knowledge for me to have as a board member just to stay informed,” he stated. “If I have the information then I can answer questions that may be on the minds of our residents.” Bruderheim councillor Judy Schuler, who attended the meeting with Bruderheim Deputy Reeve Pat Lee, echoed his sentiments. “You hear of all the different businesses that are operating in the Heartland and how it’s going to affect us,” she said. “We are the only community totally surrounded by the Heartland, so we know it’s going to impact our residents.” “We have to look after our needs, but still have to support the industry.”

Nutrien to shutter Redwater phosphate operations Perhaps the most interesting point coming out of the open house was the news that Nutrien, a company formed by the merger of Agrium and the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, will be removing the gypsum piles from the former Imperial Oil Redwater Fertilizer plant. The company plans to close the Redwater phosphate operations in the coming year and eventually remove and reclaim all the land where the gypsum piles sit, said Fort Saskatchewan operations plant manager Ted Sawchuk. “We produce phosphate fertilizer and gypsum is a by-product of the production,” he said. “In the last few years we’ve hired a PHD professor from the University of Alberta to concentrate on growing
crops on the gypsum piles.” He said they found trees grew the best on the stacks. Twenty thousand hybrid poplar trees and some willows were planted. “We found the trees grew very well on the gypsum and topsoil – even better than they grew in the natural environment.” Sawchuk added the recent merger resulted in an excess of phosphate capacity so a business decision to close the plant was made and remove the gypsum stacks. As a result all phosphate sold in Canada will come from the U.S. Ammonia sulphate operations at the Redwater plant will be doubled following a $30 million plant refit and the change won’t have a major impact on the number of employees.

New Mundare public works foreman sees areas for improvement good working conditions for spring. He asked council if there was an actual plan for how public works should function and Mayor Saric suggested that it was something council hoped MacDonald would start to put together, working with council. MacDonald asked if there was a map of the town’s infrastructure showing underground pipes. “We have plans for the Whitetail area,” said CAO Colin Zyla. “But not so much is available for the old part of town.” MacDonald added the way things were ŝƌ YƵĂůŝƚLJ ,ĞĂůƚŚ /ŶĚĞdž ; Y,/Ϳ ZĂƚŝŶŐƐ done in town dŚĞ Y,/ ŝƐ ĐĂůĐƵůĂƚĞĚ ďLJ ƚŚĞ 'ŽǀĞƌŶŵĞŶƚ ŽĨ ůďĞƌƚĂ ƵƐŝŶŐ ĚĂƚĂ ĐŽůůĞĐƚĞĚ Ăƚ & W Ăŝƌ ŵŽŶŝƚŽƌŝŶŐ ƐƚĂƚŝŽŶƐ͘ seemed to be dŚĞ Y,/ ĚĞƐĐƌŝďĞƐ ƚŚĞ ůĞǀĞů ŽĨ ŚĞĂůƚŚ ƌŝƐŬ ĂƐƐŽĐŝĂƚĞĚ ǁŝƚŚ Y,/ ůĞǀĞůƐ͘ dŚĞ ůĞǀĞůƐ ĂƌĞ ůŽǁ͕ ŵŽĚĞƌĂƚĞ͕ sort of “scatŚŝŐŚ Žƌ ǀĞƌLJ ŚŝŐŚ͘ dŚĞ ŚŝŐŚĞƌ ƚŚĞ ŝŶĚĞdž͕ ƚŚĞ ŐƌĞĂƚĞƌ ƚŚĞ ŚĞĂůƚŚ ƌŝƐŬ͘ 'Ž ƚŽ ŽƵƌ ǁĞďƐŝƚĞ͛Ɛ Y,/ ƉĂŐĞ ĨŽƌ ŵŽƌĞ ŝŶĨŽƌŵĂƚŝŽŶ͘ ^ŝdž ŽĨ & W͛Ɛ ŶŝŶĞ ĐŽŶƚŝŶƵŽƵƐ Ăŝƌ ŵŽŶŝƚŽƌŝŶŐ ƐƚĂƚŝŽŶƐ ŵŽŶŝƚŽƌ ƐƵďƐƚĂŶĐĞƐ ǁŚĞƌĞďLJ ƚŚĞ tered” without Y,/ ĐĂŶ ďĞ ĐĂůĐƵůĂƚĞĚ͘ any really plan.

JOHN MATHER New public works foreman David MacDonald gave his first report to Mundare council April 17 after being on the job for a mere two weeks. The foreman’s position had been vacant for more than a month. “Obviously I’m seeing lots to do,” he said. “But for the first couple of weeks I’ve been busy looking at things and cleaning up snow.” He said he’d cleaned heating filters at the pub-
lic works building that were “just clogged. He pointed out a rip in a fence at the public works shop and that was patched and will be permanently fixed once the snow is gone. Mayor Mike Saric wondered if anything was missing and MacDonald replied he wouldn’t really know, but didn’t think so. Much of his time has been spent ordering filters and parts for equipment to bring it up to

cil to seek support for rural transportation in the County. “We are to a point where we need more information and I want to ask council to help us do a survey in Mundare,” she reported. “We want to do a survey monkey and send it out to as many people as we can get to fill out the survey. But we want to go door to door in Mundare and that’s where the town could help.” Schuler said she would like to have the survey done by the end of August and it could possibly be done by using a summer student. Mayor Saric wondered if any other municipalities had transportation issues the society bases a model on. Schuler replied many do, but for funding most communities must have a population of 10,000 according to Alberta Transportation, and the Lamont area only has about 5,000.” She added they may need to work together with seniors homes and hospitals to and even the local school bus lines to work a plan to best use all available resources and maximize efficiencies. Schuler pointed out they were looking primarily at getting rural residents to doctor’s appointments and similar things. “We need to help those people who have issues in life and need to get to a doctor and yet they can’t drive.” She added it would cost the seniors money and they weren’t going to like it but it’s a service that is needed. Schuler pointed out taxis were available and there was Uber, but these were very expensive. Councillor Jason Kowal wondered if there were local people who could sign up as Uber drivers and provide service in the area. Schuler suggested it may be an option but she had-
n’t explored it. She did say if a service like it was provided she thought it could be coordinated through the local FCSS offices. Schuler told council she could get the survey to the municipality by the end of May. Councillors appointed to new committee Council appointed two councillors to join Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla to join the Intermunicipal Planning Committee. The committee will work with other municipalities in the county on areas of mutual interest regarding long term planning and zoning matters. Councillors Cheryl
Calinoiu and Jamie Burghardt were appointed. Zyla told council the administration representatives would do most of the committee’s work, so he doubted it would be a massive workload for councillors. Mayor Saric stated if a councillor found it was too much work, he would step in, but he’d like the councillors to be more involved in this type of committee. Council will meet with residents of the Whitetail area and other southside residents to discuss the sewer routes on May 14 and any concerns and implications it will have on the area.
