New drainage mapping gives County useful tool moving into future BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County councillors got their first look at the county’s Master Drainage Plan which has been in the works for several years. The study will lead to new ways in which the County can say on top of issues of drainage and road design in the county. SE Design and Consulting Inc. out of Cold Lake, had been the lead on the project and Project Engineer Steve Engman and design engineer Alyssa Gladish gave an overview of the project to council at a special council meeting July 13. In introducing the pair to council to present the study, whose purpose is “to restore the natural drainage patterns and accommodate flows across transportation infrastructure and other developments that have occurred over the past 60-70 years,” Reeve David Diduck pointed out the duration of the study took place “in probably two of the wettest years the County has had.” He added it might have been a good thing because it would have made it easy to see the natural water courses and where the water issues originate. “It’s sort of the good thing that happened,” he added. “Because this year driving around the County you would be totally surprised at the amount of water that has receded, it is almost unbelievable.” Engman admitted it had been a challenging year, but “drainage is something that can turn very quickly.” The new study maps natural drainage courses throughout the County and plots them on a computer program which can be uploaded to public works and is available to employees via their mobile devices. On top of the master plot map, culverts can then be added and other structures plus land layouts to show the proper ways to improve drainage in areas. “It’s great to be able to understand what the drainage problems are and then show them on a map. This shows that, and explains the tools available for the programs which will help the

He pointed out there were a number of components to the study. He said the study would show how the Rural Drainage Management Plan would work for the County. “The big part of this is determining where the water is supposed to go and how it gets there,” he explained. “Often there is an unintentional diversion which can start out very small, but as the water moves downstream it becomes a much larger problem.” He said just by draining out a little ditch officials can look at the larger impact of the channel flow and the computer program will show those. “Our study shows where all the drainages go throughout the County,” he said. SE Design did the physical design that studied the culverts in the County and examined their size and the condition of them. Another component did an analysis of the culverts and their capacities and flow rates and mapped them to the computer program. The study created a complete data base for the County to work from. “It lets you plan and work on projects that will improve the drainage in the County well into the future,” stated Engman. The third portion of the study looked at all the wetlands in the County.
“They are an important part of where water is stored,” he reported. “Sometimes farmers might want to remove those but they are so important in maintaining storage of water. In a lot of cases it’s a conflict because you might want to see those wetlands drained but at the same time you need them to maintain the water balance.” Nature had a plan where the water would go,he said. “Over the past 30 or 40 years, a ditch might have been altered or a culvert added and that has had unintended consequences of creating an unintended diversion. “We do want to try to get back to what nature intended, but that won’t happen in every case.” He said the study broke down the County into 100 hectare portions and studied the drainage in those areas. They would require culverts of a minimum size of 600mm. He added it allowed them to identify culverts and find those that were too small and some that were damaged and others totally buried. There were 7,200 catchment areas identified, leading to larger drainage areas, he said. He said study then created over 11,500 km of actual flow paths which show where water drained from rainfall and snowmelt. “It’s significant,” he said. “Those
flow paths could be natural drainage that are dry most of the year, but they drain rainfall and snowmelt so shouldn’t be disturbed.” He said 13 per cent of the County was identified as wetlands. Anything that holds water for more than 10 days according to the provincial government is considered a wetland, said Engman. He said his company had planned on studying about 800 culverts but ended up surveying more than 2,000 culverts in the County. “The culverts are obviously an issue because the water is not crossing,” Engman stated. “We looked at about 1,700 non-bridge-sized culverts from 200 mm to 1,500 mm, and less than 100 bridge-sized-culverts. Those bridge sized-culverts are on major water courses.” He said the database included all the culverts and whether they would need to be replaced or not. He pointed out every culvert on the GIS system states its size and location. This allows county workers to see the total surrounding drainage patterns for all the culverts so they can see if it is working properly in specific conditions. “It’s an important part of the whole process,” said Engman. “All the drainage courses, ditches, everything is in the database. So when you try to understand what is happening with a situation you can see wetlands and culverts and determine how it all relates to flooding and indicates the complete drainage area to alleviate the issue. “There are then formulas to determine the specific drainage capacities for specific areas,” he added. It would show when, if possible, a culvert could be replaced with a larger one, Engman added. He said the maps allow the user to see ways water had been diverted from the original water course over the years and why problems are happening now. “When people say it never used to be like that,” said Engman “It’s because something at sometime was diverted.” Continued on Page 11

Wildfire smoke creating poor air quality locally BY JANA SEMENIUK Lamont County residents experienced poor air quality over the weekend, due to wildfire smoke. Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) numbers that had been hovering in the low to moderate risk range spiked suddenly in Lamont County on July 17 to a very high risk for poor air quality. The AQHI measures the air quality that people are exposed to and is rated on a scale of one to 10, ranking low, moderate, high or very high risk to health. Fort Air Partnership communications director Godfrey Huybregts said people must pay attention to the higher risk categories.
“Where people should pay particular attention is the high and very high-risk categories,” he said. “If you've got a respiratory condition, have very young children, or are elderly, you should look at reducing your outdoor activities when the category is high. When it's very high risk, you should not be doing too much at all outdoors, particularly if it's strenuous.” In addition to reducing outdoor activities, Alberta Health Services also suggests switching all house floor vents to the closed position, using the recirculating air option while driving the car as well as avoiding the use of whole home fans that will bring
in more smoky air from outside. While it’s distressing to experience air quality decline, Huybregts said the summer of 2018 was particularly bad when it came to air quality due to wildfires. “It’s not unusual to see conditions that significantly infuse the number, but what made Aug of 2018 so bad was that it lasted so long,” he said. During 2018, according to fortair.org, the AQHI ratings exceeded the very high level on three separate days with Aug 18 of that year being the worst, having very high ratings that exceeded 15 at many of the monitoring stations. One aspect making the smoke so dangerous is

In Loving Memory of a very special Husband When God was making Husbands as far as I can see, He made a special soulmate especially for me. He made a perfect gentleman, compassionate and kind, With more love and affection than you could ever wish to find. He gave my darling Husband a heart of solid gold, only my heart can hold. He was someone I could talk to that no one can replace, He was someone I could laugh with till tears ran down my face. Next time we meet will be at Heaven’s door, When I see you standing there I won’t cry anymore. I will put my arms around you and kiss your smiling face, Then the pieces of my broken heart will fall back into place. Miss you so much Loved and missed dearly, Your wife Julie

the level of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) which is small enough, at 2.5 micrometers, to penetrate deep into the lungs when it is breathed in. From Aug 7 – 18, 2018 there was nearly five times the previous high of PM2.5 recorded in 2016 caused by smoke from Fort McMurray and the North West Territories. For current readings of AQHI visit fortair.org or airquality.alberta.ca “In Aug. of 2018 it was the worst I had ever seen,” he said. “Even worse than the Fort Mac wildfires in 2016. It was worse because it lasted so long.” Wildfires in B.C. during that month sent air quality numbers soaring particularly from Aug 7, when smoke began to impact local areas, to Aug. 23 when the highest numbers were recorded then began to decline.

Opinion Can’t we let the local elections stay local? BY JOHN MATHER On Oct. 18, voters in Lamont County and Andrew, Bruderheim, Chipman, Lamont and Mundare will trek to the polling stations to elect their municipal councillors for the next four years. In the last election in Lamont County, Daniel Warawa was acclaimed in Division one; Wayne Woldanski defeated two challengers with a total of 337 votes cast in Division two; in Division three, David Diduck defeated one challenger with 260 votes cast; Roy Anaka won his Division four seat over one challenger with a total of 173 votes cast; and in Division five Neil Woitas won over one challenger with a total of 286 votes cast. In Bruderheim, a total of 276 votes were cast between two mayoral candidates and 1,230 votes were cast for seven council candidates. Now in the first passed the post system of voting undoubtably multiple votes were made by one person as they voted for a selection of council candidates that the voters got to choose for. In Lamont, Mayor Bill Skinner was acclaimed while 2,621 votes were cast for eight candidates with six being elected. Again these numbers represent multiple votes from one voter for more than one council candidate. In Mundare a similar story where the Mayoral candidates votes totalled 353; while six council candidates totalled 1,107 votes. The point being made here is the percentage of total votes available from the general population against the number votes cast is abysmal. Municipal elections generally draw small turnouts, unless of course there is one or more major overriding issues which stir the electorates’ souls and drives people to the polls. This election year we don’t know who is running for the municipal seats yet, although as the summer come to a conclusion I expect we’ll see names popping up. Nor, do we know what the issues are yet, but we could speculate on some. But that’s not what this is about. A municipal elections is probably the most important election a person can cast a vote in. Your local councillor or mayor is the elected official which a resident sees the most. Federally, MPs get elected and disappear to Ottawa for four years with visits back to the constituency for parades and some community events and small fundraisers. Now some MPs are much better at being seen in the constituency than others, but they aren’t as visible as the locally elected municipal officials. The same applies for provincial MLAs. And the Federal and provincial government seem to spend more and more time finding ways to download services, programs and other items onto said municipalities, making the role of a small town councillor or mayor that much more difficult. They make the decisions that affect your property taxes, your garbage pick up, your roads and sewers, snow removal and lawn mowing of public property. It’s really a thankless job because you never think, “Gee, what a great job my councillor is doing,” when you get your annual tax bill. Continued
CONTINUED But this year, our province has decided to distract important municipal elections for a few other ballot questions and a Senate election. Who’s running for the Senate? This election hasn’t received much attention and since Trudeau is unlikely to appoint the winner anyway, it probably won’t get much attention as we inch towards election day. And this is for province wide candidates. Trivia time … who’s running for the Senate seat from Lamont County? Your guess is as good as mine, but the answer is probably no one. Keep this vote and hold during a provincial election. Then there’s the equalization question. “Should the principle of making equalization payments be removed from the Constitution?” And one on daylight savings time… “Should Alberta end the practice if changing our clocks twice a year.” “Alberta has a long and proud tradition of grassroots, direct democracy,” said Premier Jason Kenney in announcing the referendum questions on the munic-
ipal ballot. “We will renew that tradition this fall. I encourage all Albertans to get engaged on these important issues and I look forward to taking part in the debate this fall.” I expect he had to be told to say that because he’s spent most of his career in Ottawa, so I doubt he really knows what Albertans’ grass roots traditions are. While it will be easy to vote on the equalization question, I doubt it will be raised at many all-candidate debates. Further, no matter what the outcome, the Federals can simply ignore the results. It’s not binding. When we talk about changing things to give the west, and Alberta, a better place in confederation don’t forget we elected Stephen Harper as prime minister… the same Stephen Harper of the Firewall letter fame… and how well has that worked out for Western Canada getting a better deal? As for daylight savings time, I get it that animals don’t use clocks so the time change does disturb their metabolisms for a while. I get it it will keep it dark in the winter longer or change our beautiful summer evenings.
But do we want to change our time rules without the majority of North America doing the same things at the same time. Business would be affected, scheduling for events, transportation and cross country meetings would be disrupted. What would those costs amount to? Currently only Saskatchewan and Arizona don’t change their clocks twice a year. It would be more practical if everyone did it at the same time. But why are we cluttering a municipal election for this nonsense? A senate race which probably won’t change a thing, an equalization referendum that probably won’t change a thing, and a daylight savings question that could possibly change something but at what cost? Let me hear my local candidate without the interference of referendum chatter. They are speaking to my immediate local needs and wants. And with such a pathetic turnout for our local elections how representative will these additional votes actually be?

FROM WHERE I SIT: Abundantly Clear
BY HAZEL ANAKA I’m back and sporting a new mask-less headshot. My sidekick is Hilary’s French bulldog, Gertie. I should clarify that I’m mask-less because it is now possible to appear without one. However, we’re all wise enough to know that just because something is possible that doesn’t make it right or smart. I see an overwhelming segment of the population still wearing masks inside and out. When I ask store employees if masks are mandatory for staff, the answer is usually yes. However, one young man I asked said no, but he chooses to wear it because he hasn’t gotten vaccinated yet. That’s my kinda of guy. I wear my mask in crowded places. We made a trip to Edmonton on Thursday after my Zoom meeting and I wore my mask as protection from the smoke particulates in the air. It helped with the pain in my chest but did nothing for my burning eyes and nose. Dodged
the Covid scourge only to die of bad air quality. But, on with the business at hand. The column didn’t appear last week because we were mourning the death of our WIFI. I’ve been complaining for some time about our ‘patchy’ connection. I think I told you about an evening Zoom meeting where I lost the connection about a dozen times in an hourlong meeting. Pretty hard to contribute or know what the hell is going on when you miss every second sentence. When I had to phone into an important noonhour meeting, that was the last straw. Immediately after, I called tech support at MCSNet, our internet provider. I spent an hour or more on the line with Michael. My cell phone calls kept dropping too because our metal roof and siding and beefedup insulation mean no regular cell signal in the house. We’re only able to use our phones because we access Telus WIFI calling. No WIFI, no cell reception. You see where this is going. Michael determines that it’s likely our ancient power adapter that brings the signal through the outside cable into the router box that is failing. It was hot to the touch. By the time, I went through all the plugging
and unplugging of cables and cords, it gave up the ghost and our WIFI was officially dead. Because it was Thursday afternoon, the soonest a technician could arrive was Monday. He would bring a replacement power source and try moving our receiver radio a little higher on our TV tower. No doubt there are some readers out there who wonder what the big deal is. They haven’t embraced technology yet and aren’t about to start now. Frankly, that’s a personal choice I can’t understand. I’m not an early adopter of most new things but can tell when the writing is on the wall and I should get on board. I used to say I didn’t want to be roadkill on the information highway. So, with help from Hilary and a helluva lot of trial and error, and note taking, I’m pretty damn proficient. I keep accepting new challenges that in turn require new skills. In my humble opinion, it’s also helping keep me young and young at heart. I’m a legit member of a society, a fellowship that relies on, enjoys, and exploits the benefits and miracle of computers and the world wide web. Every so often, when I bemoan the passing of time and ache for the good old days when life was simple, I sound like a cro21033AA6
chety old lady. I don’t want to be that. Not only is the internet and computer competence required for most jobs, it’s made life so much easier. If you haven’t watched a howto YouTube video, you don’t understand how skill building is just a click away. If you haven’t used Google to find an operating manual for your sewing machine or vacuum or grain loader, then you’re likely making a lot of phone calls and paying for a special order by snail mail. If you haven’t checked your symptoms or
looked for pictures of that mysterious rash, you may be delaying treatment and recovery. If you haven’t played Spider Solitaire on your computer, you’re likely looking for a deck of cards in the junk drawer. Who we are determines what we access. Musicians use the technology to compose. Would-be film makers use the equipment to edit video footage. Telehealth allows doctors in big cities to diagnose and treat individuals in the far north or other remote locales. I can access lab or test
results on MyHealth. I can compare products and shop. I can correspond with people a world away. I can be a home-based contract worker or an entrepreneur. You get the picture. While there are inherent societal problems with every advancement, there is much to be grateful for. I, for one, don’t want to go back to the time before electricity, telephones, microwaves, refrigeration, penicillin, and everything else that’s good in our lives. Four days without WIFI made that abundantly clear, from where I sit.

Please donate to the bus/train accident monument Led by Tom Hrehorets and Trudy Harrold, a committee has been formed to look at erecting a memorial to honour the 17 young people who lost their lives in that tragedy and the survivors who have lived-on to carry those memories. Work is being undertaken to fundraise for this $35,000 project. As the 60th year commemoration of the Chipman and Lamont Bus-Train accident passed quietly with the COVID events of 2020, a project is being undertaken to honour that milestone.
Let us all honour the victims of the 1960 train/bus crash including the 17 who lost their lives:

After two years of rain, dry conditions now hurting farmers BY JOHN MATHER Farmers in Lamont County need rain. “No one has a Cinderella crop right now,” said Lamont County Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak. “There’s a lot of crops that are looking nice, but everyone needs rain. “Even today (July 20) they were calling for an 80 per cent chance of showers, but now that’s
been reduced to 30 per cent.” The rain that does fall is very isolated throughout the County, he adds. “You can have rain in Bruderheim but it’s dry in Lamont,” he said. “Then you go to the Chipman area and there’s showers. It’s very hit and miss.” He said compared to last year there were a lot of acres that couldn’t be
seeded because it was so wet and then there were crops that couldn’t be harvested for the same reason. “I think we’re in a better position this year, because at least there’s something to harvests, where last year there was nothing to harvest.” He said the grain is there but we need the rain. “Some of the heavier
areas didn’t have a lot of spring moisture and some of the crops in those areas are burning up.” Eleniak said he had heard the Alberta Financial Service Corporation is giving some authorization to send hay balers in to some fields so at least the cattle producers can make some feed. “I’ve been following
up on assessing crops throughout the municipality and there are some crops that look very disheartening and yet there are others, physically
they look nice. But what we need is we need rain. “In order for the crops to fill out and develop we need rain,” he emphasizes.

Shells ponders second carbon capture unit at Scotford BY JOHN MATHER With Canada considered a leader in carbon capture and storage industry (CCS), Shell Canada last week unveiled plans to create a new facility at its Scotford complex to capture emissions from its industrial complex and store those greenhouse gases underground. If the project, Shell Polaris, is approved it would collect emissions from its refinery and chemical facilities and transport the carbon dioxide through a 12-km pipeline to storage wells located near Josephburg. The gases would then be stored more than two kilometres underground. Shell opened its first CCS unit, Quest in 2015, which cost $1.3 billion and is able to capture

and store one million tonnes of emissions per year. That project received $745 million from the Alberta government and the Federal government contributed $120 million. While the price of the new proposed project wasn’t announced, officials did suggest it would be about 30 per cent less than Quest. The Polaris project would be a key step in transforming Scotford into one of five energy and chemical parks for Shell around the world, said the company in a release, providing their customers with lowercarbon fuels and products into the future, such as hydrogen. The initial phase is expected to start operations around the middle
of the decade, subject to a final investment decision by Shell expected in 2023. Polaris would have storage capacity of about 300 million tonnes of CO2 over the life of the project. Once fully built, Polaris would contribute to the Edmonton region becoming Canada’s first hydrogen hub. In the initial phase of Polaris, CO2 captured from the refinery’s hydrogen plants would produce blue hydrogen for use in the refining process, with the potential for large-scale blue hydrogen production in future phases. “Shell is making bold moves to decarbonize our operations, and wider industry, and the Polaris CCS project is the latest example,” said Susannah Pierce, Shell
Canada’s President and Country Chair. “Our plans for Scotford are in line with Shell’s target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050, in step with society. “We are creating a world-class site that will provide customers with lower-carbon fuels, products and CO2 storage. Polaris would also make a significant contribution to Shell’s aim to have access to an additional 25 million tonnes a year of CCS capacity by 2035.” If the project gets the final approval, it is expected to create about 2,000 jobs and would capture and store about 750,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Public invited to have input on Class Two gravel pits BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County Council will hold a public meeting on Aug. 10 to get input before deciding to allow Class Two gravel pits to operate back in the County. At their July 13, Special Council meeting, the council did pass first reading on a bylaw to amend the County Land Use Bylaw to allow the small sized pits which are under 5 hectares in size and referred to as Class Two pits. After a presentation from Lamont Director of Planning and Community Services, Alan Grayston, council appeared to be split on whether to allow the pits to operate in the County or not. Grayston reported he had reviewed several other County’s policies with regard to the small sized pits. In April council had discussed possibly making changes to the bylaw to allow for the pits and had asked Grayston to get further information. He said permitting for the smaller pits generally is centred around noise, hours of operations, dust controls, road use agreements, and security deposits. He told council those were pretty standard and were also used when establishing larger pit operations. “Strathcona County requires 100 per cent of the reclamation costs of the pit,” he reported. “While Two Hills, Thorhild and Smoky Lake Counties require a security of $2,000 per acre. Sturgeon and Camrose Counties currently don’t allow Class Two pits.” He told council there
are some challenges to having the pits but it would fall to council to administrate how the pits would be regulated. Both the County and Alberta Environment and Parks are the two approving authorities for the Class Two pits. He told council they could give first reading to the bylaw to amend the land use bylaw, but a public hearing would have to be held. He added it could be held on Aug. 10 at the council chambers. Councillor Roy Anaka wanted to know when the details would be worked out and how any changes could be made. “Any amending bylaw would outline what the rules and securities for the pit operations would be,” replied Grayston. “The licence for the pit would only be for five years and they would have to have a road use agreement and a drainage plan requirement in place.” He said they were proposing hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. but those could change during the longer summer hours. “My question is how do we collect the aggregate levy?” said Anaka. “If we have someone who is delinquent on an existing pit licence levy and they apply for a Class Two licence can they get one?” Grayston said the aggregate levy is addressed through the road agreements. “If they were delinquent on another site, we may not be able to challenge that,” said Grayston. “And that’s my point,” stated Anaka. “If they have been delinquent in
the past and we haven’t been able to collect, they can still apply and get a new Class Two licence.” Division 1 Councillor Daniel Warawa asked if the County had had Class to pits in the past. Grayston said they hadn’t been allowed for at least three to five years. When asked why, Grayston said council of the day had had challenges around enforcement of issues regarding how the pits were controlled with regard to hours of operations, drainage and noises. “At that time council amended the land use bylaw to remove the Class Two pits to only allow them as a discretionary use.” That, he said, gave council much more control over how they were operated. Councillor Wayne Woldanski asked who looked at the pits to make sure they were compliant and Grayston said the County would hire engineers to study the area and make recommendations. When asked, Grayston said the costs of any studies done prior to the pit being licensed would have to be covered by the applicant for the licence. Division 5 Councillor Neil Woitas felt council should amend the bylaw. “We’re in the minority when it comes to not allowing these pits,” he said. “The benefits from the licence is it would allow an operator to make some money selling aggregates and it would also allow local ratepayers to purchase small amounts of aggregate at a lower price with closer to home delivery.” Woldanski wondered if the County went back
to allowing the pits, would the County benefit in any way. “I’m looking at benefits to us if we move back in this direction,” he said. Grayston said that might depend on the quality of the operators for the pits. “It would depend on how much enforcement the County used,” he
said. “There’s a cost involved but the benefits are that sand and gravel are highly desired in our area. From that perspective there are benefits and there would be the collection of the aggregate levies.” “There are pluses and minuses but it’s up to council if they want to make the changes to the land use bylaw.” “Well I think the benefits will outweigh any negative things,” stated Woitas. “It’s a benefit to
our ratepayers.” Councillor Anaka and Warawa wondered whether it would end up being another stress on the County’s resources when it came to enforcement of road use agreements and collections of levies. When the vote on first reading was called, council passed it unanimously and the public hearing will be held Aug. 10 at the administration building.

Town of Lamont to donate cement, work for monument worth $5,175 BY JANA SEMENIUK Fundraising efforts by the Chipman and Lamont Bus/Train Memorial Committee got a huge boost earlier this month with a generous donation from the Town of Lamont. During their June 8 council meeting, a letter from the committee was brought forward to council requesting a donation. It was decided unanimously at the July 13 meeting that the Town of Lamont would provide services and materials to build a 16-foot x 10-foot eight inch thick cement pad to hold the monument, plus cement pads
for two benches. As well they will refinish the existing concrete pad and install 75 feet of iron fencing. Included with the materials and supplies is eight hours of equipment use with an operator and 108 staff hours to complete the work at a total cost of $5,175. “This group has been out doing a lot of work to gain support for their project,” said Lamont mayor Bill Skinner during the meeting. When the council members were asked who would like to make a motion to approve the request, councillor Jody Foulds raised his hand.

A school bus, carrying 42 students, crossed the railway tracks into Lamont on the morning of Nov. 29, 1960 passing directly in front of an oncoming freight train killing 17 of the students aged 14–18. Two boys and 15 girls passed away in the tragedy. To date more than 200 contributors have donated to the cause which aims to raise $35,000 to fund the eight by fivefoot memorial. The monument will be made of a mixture of granite and marble carrying the pictures and names of all 17 victims as well as the names of the 25 survivors of the accident,

“I think it’s a good motion too,” he said. Lamont resident Tom Hrehorets, who heads up the committee, submitted a request to install the monument back in April. Hrehorets has long been an advocate of memorializing the tragedy that gripped the world more than 60 years ago. “For years I thought there was already a monument there. Then I went to have a look at it one day and realized it was for the Queen’s visit in 1978 and not the bus crash,” he said in April. “Deep in my heart I feel it’s something that needs to be done.”

County drainage Continued from front page Referring to the culverts, Engman said 615 required maintenance. Some, he pointed out had crushed ends, ripped out ends, buried ends or blockages due to sedimentation or debris. He pointed out where the culverts posed significant damage to the road at any location the County had been immediately notified when the study was in progress. Only six of those were located. When Councillor Roy Anaka asked when people in a certain area said the drainage went one way yet the study showed it going another, he wondered why that was. Engman said the maps were topographical, and they show water flowing via the natural contours of the land using the natural drainage areas. “The elevations of the topographic surfaces show the drainage patterns,” said design engineer Alyssa Gladish. “If something had altered that flow, then we would look to see if we could find the source.” Gladish told council moving forward the next step would be for the County to develop a drainage policy. That she said would include specifics about what sized culverts were used, policies regarding altering water courses, and providing strategies on how to correct problem areas. She said a drainage bylaw would be complementary to a land use bylaw but she didn’t think the County would have to adapt one of those right away. “You do have to have public meetings to explain drainage issues that are creating concerns across the county,” she said. “You must present the issues to the public and ensure there is buy-in from them.” She added at some point annual inspections and maintenance of drainage areas would
have to be budgeted for. “Right now drainage issues are part of the public works budget and as a result sometimes it gets sidelined,” she told council. “So we’re recommending you establish a separate drainage component in your budget.” That, she said, would allow for continuous improvements through inspections, maintenance and upgrades where necessary. “Every piece of the puzzle is important,” she said. “We certainly need to get all the residents on board because they will play a big role. You really have to promote the value of this program to your taxpayers.” She said it would allow the County to present a strategy to the public and show them the importance of their role and how what they do on their land plays a major part in the drainage throughout the County. She added putting a drainage section on the County web page would be beneficial in keeping the public informed. The pair indicated replacement of culverts was “the elephant in the room.” Replacing the culverts that are damaged or too small is not going to happen overnight,” said Engman. “You have to develop a plan because the costs are high. “You’ll have to do it in small increments, but you’ll have to be committed to doing that. You’ll have to look at the map and see what needs to be fixed and what area will be affected by the changes.” Engman said it would “be a huge task.” However the program would allow every improvement to be indicated on the map allowing it to always be current and up to date. Councillor Daniel Warawa said it was a situation where council would have to start and
then end and work back to the source. Public Works Director David McDonald said council had to be aware of the infrastructure in areas as well such as gas lines. “There has to be direction in how to approach things,” he said. “So we can do our best to accommodate everyone. A policy will have to be developed.” Councillor Wayne Woldanski wondered if they were to replace culverts, would they butt heads with Alberta Environment. “They control the water and yet we have to manage it,” he said. “But if we change a water course back to its natural flow do we have to have applications to install each culvert? They’re a big stumbling block in this whole process.” Engman said the new maps would help the County show Environment how the changed drainage would provide the most beneficial outcome for the County. It should make getting approvals easier, he added. Engman presented a sample case-study to council showing how the entire process could work. “This is going to be a valuable document,” said Reeve David Diduck at the conclusion of the presentations. “But it is going to have to be maintained. “Obviously a lot of work has been done here to identify a lot of our problem areas. “When I first decided to run for council I thought the roads were an issue,” he stated. “But a year into my term I realized it wasn't the roads so much as the drainage because that not only impacts private lands but also has major impacts on our infrastructure.” “Now we have to develop a strategy on how we’ll utilize and implement this report,” he added. He admitted the County would have to look at drainage on a regular basis, rather than wait until a crisis occurred. Council then accepted the presentation as information which was moved by Anaka and carried.
Greg Lalonde gets everything into this swing knocking a 2-run homer out of the park, leading the way for his Buzzards slopitch team to a 10-1 win over the I’d Hit Back. The score was tied 1-1 after four innings before Lalonde broke it open. The two-day tournament at Mundare’s Ukrainia Park featured eight teams from Edmonton that play in the original six league.

BY JANA SEMENIUK As Lamont County residents head to the polls this Oct. 18 to elect their mayors, council members and school trustees, they will also be voting on whether to remove daylight savings time and reform equalization in a referendum. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made the announcement Thursday during a news conference in Calgary. “Albertans will be given an opportunity to vote on whether to end the practice of changing our clocks every year,” he said. “It’s an issue Albertans have voted on twice before in the 50s and chose the current system but BC has decided to stick with one clock all year round like Saskatchewan always has. Neighboring states to our south and territories to our north have decided to stick with one clock. So we think it’s a great opportunity for Albertans to speak to an issue that will affect them in a direct way.” Although BC passed legislation in 2019 to do away with daylight savings time, they have yet to end the practice while waiting for US states in their time zone to follow suit. Meanwhile, Kenney also spoke to the issue of Alberta’s equalization payments. “We find frustrating a system that has us contributing on average $20 billion a year net through our federal taxes to other
provinces even while we have been living through a long recession with high unemployment, lower incomes and huge provincial deficits,” he said. “It’s particularly unfair to subsidize public services in other provinces that have stood in the way of the development of our resources; the key industry which helps to pay the equalization and all of the other fiscal transfers in the federation. This will give us more leverage as we negotiate for a fair deal in the federation.” When asked by reporters if the referendum would affect any real changes, Kenney responded that it would open negotiations. “The supreme court of Canada in its 1998 Quebec secession reference determined that if a province holds a referendum with a clear question and a clear majority votes in favour of a proposed constitutional amendment, the federal government then has a binding obligation to negotiate that issue in good faith with the province. This is a federation and if that’s the law as determined by the Supreme Court as it applies to Quebec than it has to apply to Alberta. That’s just common sense.” In addition to the referendum questions, Alberta residents will also be voting for three senate nominees; two to fill vacancies and one in
case of an early retirement. In spite of being elected as nominees, their appointment to the senate will still face a few hurdles before the ultimate decision of appointment by Canada’s Governor General. While Kenney acknowledged Alberta’s senate election does not guarantee those elected will be appointed, he felt confident about the odds. “In the last campaign we committed to Albertans that we would renew the tradition of Albertans electing their representatives in the senate of Canada,” he said. “We’ve had four senate elections in our history and five senators chosen through those elections were actually appointed to the senate and two are serving there right now.” The role of the Canadian Senate is to act as a reviewing chamber to proposed bills before they are passed in addition to investigating social and political issues by way of undertaking studies according to Canada.ca. Potential Alberta Senate election candidates must be a Canadian citizen and Alberta resident between the ages of 30 and 75, provide a $4,000 deposit to Elections Alberta by 2 p.m. on Sept. 20, as well as collect 500 signatures from eligible electors on their nomination paperwork.
