Tractor trailer flips near Hilliard BY JOHN MATHER A tractor trailer carrying a load of 20,000 cubic metres of liquid oxygen flipped over causing the closure of Highway 15 between Hilliard and Range Road 170, June 9. The accident occurred about 9:10 a.m. and special rigging trucks from Cliff’s Towing in Edmonton were brought on scene to remove the rig and the trailer. But first the oxygen had to be carefully transferred to a new trailer brought to the scene, reported Glenda Dales, Mundare Fire and Rescue Chief, whose department was also on scene on a stand-by basis. “A team from Edmonton were brought to supervise the transfer,” she said. “The gas is under pressure and any mistakes could have caused a major explosion.” She said the driver had reported seeing some deer near the highway and his rig caught the edge of the narrow
shouldered highway and he couldn’t correct it before it went over. While no injuries were reported, the highway remained closed until after 4 p.m on June 10.
Woman seriously injured in rollover BY JOHN MATHER A 21-year-old Vermilion woman was airlifted to hospital June 13, following a rollover near Highway 45 and Range Road 170. An RCMP officer working routine traffic enforcement near Andrew was flagged down and told of the accident. Emergency crews attended the scene and STARs air ambulance was called in to take the woman to hospital. While there has been no cause provided for the accident, the victim is reported to have serious injuries.
A heavy duty Cliff’s Towing rig pulls a tractor unit from the ditch on Highway 15 after it rolled June 9 near Hilliard. The tractor trailer carrying liquid oxygen flipped when it caught the edge of the narrow road and the driver couldn’t correct it. The road was closed to traffic for more than 24 hours while the liquid oxygen was removed from the trailer unit. Photo supplied.
Arrest quickly follows Chipman area shooting BY JOHN MATHER A non-fatal shooting in Chipman left one man injured and led to the arrest of another on June 7. Fort Saskatchewan RCMP officers responded to a shooting at a rural home in the Chipman area. When the officers arrived, a man was found injured and taken to hospital in stable condition.
Strathcona County RCMP were called in to lend a hand and the two detachments were able to locate, arrest and charge the suspect. There was no report on where the man was apprehended but RCMP said this is not being considered a random shooting and it is believed the victim and suspect are known to each other. Kelly Dawson, 37, has been charged
with aggravated assault, unlawfully discharging a firearm, careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm, two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, and two counts of failing to comply with probation. Dawson was taken into custody and appeared in Fort Saskatchewan Provincial Court on June 10. In February 2020, Dawson was charged

with several drugs and firearms violations after Two Hills RCMP and Fort Sask. Traffic/Crime Reduction Unit executed a search warrant at a Lamont residence on Feb. 5, 2020. The victim is expected to make a full recovery. Fort Sask. RCMP General Investigation Section has taken over the investigation.

Opinion Rumour mongers go on letter writing campaign BY JOHN MATHER It’s always interesting, or boring I guess depending on how you look at it, going through the volumes of emails we get at the Lamont Leader. It’s through the email address published on the bottom of this page, that we receive letters to the editor, story ideas and press releases from just about anybody and everybody extolling the virtues of their ideas or product. One of the main users of this system is the provincial NDP who send out a regular stream of press conference dates. They announce when someone from the NDP shadow cabinet will appear to condemn some project or motions being brought forward by Jason Kenney’s UCP. Sometimes they bring along a person who represents the downtrodden who has been victimized by the evils of the UCP. Rarely do these missives attract my attention because they never suggest alternative solutions, but rather just a stream of never-ending criticism, that the NDP is known for. Through the email we get the prime minister’s daily itinerary. Wow, that excites me. The same goes with half of the Federal cabinet ministers. Knowing the Federal Liberals don’t represent Western Canada, we don’t see much of value in these. And we get conspiracy theorists, and other emails providing undocumented information purporting to be valuable news that must be commented on. This week there was a stream of these. The Western Standard, a newsletter and online platform established by former MLA Derek Fildebrandt, following publication of the photo of Jason Kenney and some of his cabinet socializing at the Sky Palace, published an article claiming the Premier and his cabinet minister had had a quiet location in an Edmonton restaurant where they regularly met and socialized in contravention of all pandemic regulations. Now, Jason Kenney and Derek Fildebrandt don’t like each other. Kenney kicked Fildebrandt out of the UCP party and refused to let him run as a UCP candidate in the last election. In response, Fildebrandt formed his own political party which quickly flamed out. He seems to have found more enjoyment publishing his newsletter/website and promoting a right wing perspective of issues across the west. And he targets Kenney any chance he gets. Sky Palace made a perfect opportunity so it was followed up with his meetings in the restaurant story. There were no attributions provided in this story except unnamed sources. So Kenney sent, through his attorneys, a cease and desist order. Continued
CONTINUED Fildebrandt stood by his story but offers up no attributions. By the weekend it had added Kenney’s denial, but still offered no named sources. The “fake news” meter started ringing loudly. And then suddenly from June 10 to June 11, our email is bombarded by a dozen emails pushing very similar form letters stating media should do its job and investigate Kenney based on the article in the Western Standard. Essentially what they say is “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” These emails from such
names as Peter Rashleigh, Louise Fischer, Teresa Gregus and Cassidy Komant ask that the provincial media investigate this. The letters all use the term “we” but never say who “we” are. The email addresses are difficult to trace and I haven’t heard back from any I’ve reached out for an explanation. The letters went to every media outlet in the province. So what to make of this? With unsigned letters to the editor, we don’t print them. They have no merit! If you have something to say, be brave enough to
put your name to it so we can reach out to substantiate your claim. But a dozen unsubstantiated form letters saying investigate Kenney? Obviously someone was behind this push. It’s an example of what our provincial political scene has lowered itself to these days. Throw crap and hope some of it sticks. But they were such crap! A group of morons who won’t stand up to support a form letter they’ve sent. Providing no information, no supporting documents or names… just fishing for a weird form of attention. And wasting our time.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Tough
BY HAZEL ANAKA No one I know had a perfect life before Covid19 turned the world and our lives upside down. We all had one or more issues with health, relationships, employment, money, mindset, mental health. We all thought we could, indeed should, be richer, skinnier, healthier, more fulfilled, more content, and heaven knows, happier than we were. How quaintly naïve that was. I’m willing to bet there isn’t a soul on planet Earth who hasn’t been changed in some way by the pandemic. The number who’ve benefitted (the old story of the rich getting richer) is considerably smaller than those who’ve suffered. So many of us have been badly bent by the challenges and fallout. How we all haven’t broken under the strain is truly miraculous. Largely alone, we’ve each had to, within our hearts and heads, navigate the last sixteen months. I think most of us are more vulnerable, suspicious, scared, cynical, and worried than may be apparent on the outside. Others are paranoid because of conspiracy theories running rampant in some circles. We’ve been confused
and angry at the lack of information and changing messages. For the record, I was never angry because of that. It felt like the world was blindfolded groping around in the dark in a fun house with its hands tied behind its back. Think back to the days we were wiping down our groceries when they came into the house. Or admonished not to touch our faces. Or told by the lead public health doctor Theresa Tam in the early days that masks don’t make a difference. The advice has changed because it had to; because as the virus became better understood, new strategies were tried. Those strategies either worked or they didn’t. Nobody’s fault. Over the years, I’ve written occasionally about that checklist of life events that have points attached to them. The bigger the event (death, marriage, illness, a move, job loss, etc) the more points. Even Christmas gets twelve points! The idea being that if the events in your life total 100 or more in a year, there’s a good chance you’ll suffer adverse health consequences. Unless the research has been updated to include a pandemic, I’d say most people’s numbers are off the chart even without that. Because of Covid, we’ve had to celebrate, grieve, learn, and interact very differently. It will literally be years before the full impact is
realized and studied. But, at our core, I believe we are all changed. I’ve watched or read very little news recently so I don’t know half of what’s been going on. But I felt sick at heart to hear about the 215 little kids buried near an Indian residential school in BC. That on top of the other generational abuse Indigenous people have suffered. I know there are prejudiced people reading these words wondering if I’m nuts or why I care. Whenever I try to figure out my response to these matters, I always put my feet in the other person’s shoes. If a child of mine had been forcefully taken from my home, abused in every sense of the word, and died without explanation or return of the remains, I would be a sick and wild woman. That storyline makes for great thriller movies. But this horror is real and has been happening to real people for generations. Is it any wonder many are suspicious, angry, damaged souls? Add to that the missing and murdered women and girls and you have a recipe for societal disaster. How would you have turned out if that storyline was yours? Incidentally, the way the Catholic church is handling this matter is contemptible. I can’t for the life of me understand how these and other church residential school operators, supposed Christians, could do these heinous things to other human beings.
And let’s not forget the pedophile priests. The 2015 movie Spotlight covers this sordid affair and the investigative newspaper team that brought it to light. Lawyer Mitchell Garabedian who’s taken on the Catholic church in Boston on behalf of abuse victims and won was interviewed this week. He is convinced that secret church documents are being burned as we speak and if the Canadian government doesn’t subpoena them soon, nothing will remain. By the way, those early politicians and policy makers are not blameless but at least they didn’t pretend to be Christians.
Will today’s politicians and policy makers be judged as harshly if they don’t stop the empty talk and finally do something? Let’s hope so. Then, that horrific discovery barely cools off the front page when the mass murder of a Muslim family hits us. Anyone questioning that family’s value or contribution to Canada should be prepared to compare, line for line, their own contribution to Canada. Education levels, job status, charity work, compassion lived through acts not simply words…how’s the score looking? These sorts of sad events happening to others have always existed. But in this time of an overly-stressed and vulnerable world, I really

wonder how many more bad things can we collectively take. Every race and nationality under the sun has suffered intolerance, abuse, and death at the hands of others. Ukrainians were ridiculed, discriminated against, and declared enemy aliens right here in Canada. Across the ocean, they were systematically starved during the 1930s Holodomor. If deep in our DNA our people (whoever they are) have suffered at the hands of others why is it so damn hard to give those who are suffering old and new wounds, the benefit of the doubt, acceptance, empathy? Tough times, tough questions. Time for some tough but truthful answers, from where I sit.

Bruderheim resident had 11 days in hospital with COVID BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim resident Maureen Shelley, 63, is grateful to have come through a recent bout of COVID 19 that landed her in the hospital for 11 days. Shelley, who moved to Bruderheim with husband Fred in 2016, visited her husband in Fort McMurray on the weekend of April 3. He had been working there for the past two months. “I hadn’t seen him for two months. He was working up there and staying with my brother,” she said. “I was up there for three days.” Soon after returning home, Shelley knew something was wrong. “I came home Monday and about three days after that I wasn’t feeling well,” she said. “I had a headache, nausea and feeling faint. I was tired and had no energy. I was forgetting to take my medication for type two diabetes. I felt so sick I
couldn’t even get out of bed.” Shelley decided to head for the emergency room in Lamont. “They did two tests on me there and discovered I had COVID,” she said. “I was very scared when they told me that.” Shelley said she was advised to return home. “They just said to go home and didn’t tell me much more than that,” she said. “They said to go home and take care of myself. I didn’t get any medication.” Shelley added that soon after, her husband Fred, 75, returned home from Fort McMurray ill. “My husband was fainting and also not feeling well,” she said. When their symptoms did not improve, Shelley’s sister called an ambulance. “My sister was looking after us because we were both very sick. I had no idea what was happening. My sister got wor-
ried and called the 811 line and they told her to call an ambulance,” she said. “The ambulance attendants checked us both out and took me to the hospital.” An ambulance rushed Shelley to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. “I had pneumonia and was in pretty bad shape. I don’t remember much of anything. I was in a room with three other people, two men and another woman. It was horrible and scary at the time. I was on oxygen but not a ventilator,” she said. Shelley felt terrified she wouldn’t get better. “I was very worried. It was an awful feeling. No one was allowed to see me which made it worse for me. It was very depressing,” she said. Even though Shelley eventually recovered enough to return home, she said she is still not feeling 100 percent two
Mundare wants more signatures on municipal documents BY JOHN MATHER Mundare council, during a review of the municipal review of the town’s operations on June 1, debated whether Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla should be the only municipal officer with signing authority on small financial matters coming before the community. “The town is part of the municipal accountability program and we have been part of it for a few years,” Zyla told council. “They annually review the town’s operations and point out any deficiencies and then give us time to come up with solutions and submit those back to them.” He added some of the changes made could have implications on the town’s annual budget. He said one of the items the review looked at was the signing of municipal documents. Zyla, as a designated officer of the town, has power to sign documents and agreements on his own. For example, he told council, when Atco Electrical’s agreement comes up for renewal he would sign off on it. But the review sug-
gested a bylaw be put in place to designate the town officer with signing authority. Zyla indicated to council for larger agreements he would always have either the mayor or deputy mayor also sign on the agreements, rather than himself being the sole signatory. “I would recommend a motion that the designated officer be authorized to have signing authority on his or her own,” he said, then a bylaw could be prepared for later approval. Mayor Mike Saric stated he wasn’t sure if this was a good idea. Zyla said it was basically done for efficiency, because often the mayor or deputy mayor might not be available and paperwork could back up. “How many of these things do you get that need signing?” asked Saric. “Sometimes it might only be three a year, but sometimes it might be a sale agreement for a town lot or something. On larger agreements with the County for example, I always have the mayor or deputy mayor also sign,” Zyla said.
Saric said he still wasn’t sure if having a single person with the signing ability was a good idea and Zyla said he wasn’t sure how to differentiate the various types of agreements.” He said he currently does agreement signing at his own discretion. “I would then say we should get two signatures on everything,” said Saric. “Cheques get signed by two people, so why not agreements?” Councillor Cheryl Callinoiu agreed that having two signatures was a good idea. “I also agree,” said Councillor Irene Talaga. “I think having the mayor or deputy mayor also sign is a good thing.” Saric said copies of the agreements could be emailed to the second signer for the signature and that was becoming much more common with the technology available. Councillor Jason Kowal agreed it could easily be done with two signatures. “With technology today getting an electronic signature is nothing out of the ordinary.” Continued on Page 8
months later. “I still have a cough and still struggle with energy. I don’t often feel like eating so I have to force myself to eat something,” she said. While the virus hit Shelley hard, her husband Fred’s bout with COVID was short lived. “He did much better than me. He didn’t have to go on oxygen or anything,” she said. Although she has already had the virus, Shelley still received a vaccination. “I had my last shot a week ago,” she said. “My first shot was the AstraZeneca and my second shot was the Pfizer.” Shelley said her doctor told her it could still be another month or longer before she starts really feeling better. “She said it would be another month or more before the cough goes

I think it takes a long time to get over this,” she said. Shelley added that people should take the virus seriously. “I know it’s serious
because I went though it,” she said. “People need to keep themselves safe and do what they are supposed to do. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.”

Mundare Council Continued from Page 6 “It gives us a second set of eyes on the agreement,” added Saric. “Without that there’s no control.” Zyla said he would arrange for that change to be made. In addition, the council decided to join the
Capital Regional Assessment Services Commission to handle any assessment issues coming before the town. “We do struggle getting people to sit on an assessment panel for the town,” said Zyla. “If we join the CRASC it costs us about $1,800 annually, but if an assessment does come up, then they will supply all the members,
and staff to hear the issue and render a decision. I think its money well spent.” “We don’t have very many assessment reviews,” he added. Council agreed to join the commission, which after the motion is passed will require approval from the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

Beaver District 4H clubs would like to take the time to thank our buyers for the 2020/2021 4H year. This year continued to present challenges for us with the restrictions in place due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and we were not able to host our public show and sale. We deeply appreciate the support of community individuals and businesses that stepped forward to purchase our 4H steers privately. The response was phenomenal and somewhat overwhelming! We are also grateful to those individuals, community groups and businesses that provided donations, grants and sponsorships throughout the year. Members of the Holden, Viking and Tofield 4H Clubs wish to extend their most heartfelt “Thank You” and hope to see you at our Beaver District Show and Sale in 2022!

Plans for a second major hydrogen facility announced for Industrial Heartland BY JOHN MATHER Air Products and Chemicals Inc, announced June 9 it will build a $1.3 billion facility near the Alberta Industrial Heartland that will produce hydrogen derived from natural gas. The planned plant is expected to open in 2024. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding for construction. The agreement is still subject to further negotiations for incentives from the Alberta and federal governments, including $15million through the province’s emissions reduction fund. Air Liquid already does have a small hydrogen producer in the Industrial Heartland east of Fort Saskatchewan. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said hydrogen and carbon capture will be crucial to the province’s economic future.
“Hydrogen can bring billions of dollars to Alberta’s economy each year while cutting emissions and creating jobs, making it a real game changer,” Mr. Kenney said during a news conference for the hydrogen announcement. “We’re building on existing natural gas resources and infrastructure.” Most of the hydrogen produced in Canada today is categorized as grey, or derived from natural gas in an emissions intensive process. Using hydrogen doesn’t emit carbon dioxide, but the production process does. Only green hydrogen, derived from low carbon sources such as hydroelectricity, solar and wind power, has a small amount of emissions. The Alberta government hopes the Air Products project will be the first in a series of major hydrogen announcements to come

in the months ahead. The province has plans to leverage vast and cheap natural gas resources (and geology that allows for carbon storage underground) to become a global player in blue hydrogen production. Meanwhile, Energy giants Suncor Energy Inc. and Atco Ltd are teaming up to create a multi million dollar facility to produce more than 300,000 tonnes of hydrogen in the Alberta Industrial Heartland.
In making the announcement in early May, the two companies said the project would help Canada reach its 2050 target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by capturing more than 90 percent of the carbon dioxide produced from the energy required to make the hydrogen. They added the project would reduce Alberta’s CO2 emissions by more than two million tonnes per year.

dents are showing support for Pride Week by flying the Pride flag and wearing Pride stickers, buttons and temporary tattoos. Students also gifted the local business community with miniature Pride flags – now on display in windows throughout the town. Most impressive, students wrote statements to Vegreville council about what Pride Week means to them. As a result, town council decided to fly a Pride flag on its building to recognize the week – the the first time it has done so.
