Highway 15 Bridge Twinning officially announced by Province Michelle Pinon Editor Premier Rachel Notley was in the hub of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Thursday morning to officially announce further plans on the twinning of Highway 15 and expansion of bridge capacity to and from the City of Fort Saskatchewan.

“We are here to make life better for Albertans, and that’s exactly why we are going to twin this bridge,” stated Notley, who was surrounded by Transportation & Infrastructure Minister Brian Mason, Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood, along with elected officials from Fort Saskatchewan, Strathcona County, Sturgeon County, Lamont County, Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association, and the Town of Bruderheim.

“There are many decisions to make and much to do before construction can begin,” added Notley, who guaranteed, “Work will begin immediately to retain an engineering consultant to start developing plans to twin the Highway 15 bridge.” Design for the project will begin in 2017, with construction commencing as soon as 2019. A project of this size will take about three years to complete construction. Once the design process is complete, a more detailed

project timeline will be available.

Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski commented, “From Lamont County’s perspective we are extremely pleased with the announcement by the Province to twin Hwy 15 and construct a new bridge crossing to Fort Saskatchewan. Hwy 15 is a critical transportation corridor through the Industrial Heartland and this project will help ensure the continued safe transport of workers and goods and services on a daily basis.

Many of our residents utilize Hwy 15 to travel to and from work on a daily basis.

This announcement is a clear indication that the Government has acted on concerns of residents, businesses, regional municipalities and the AIHA. We appreciate the investment that the Government is making in our road infrastructure and look forward to the project moving forward in a timely manner.

Many thanks also goes to MLA Jessica Littlewood for her tireless work and advocacy on this project.”

We in the Town of Bruderheim are pleased to hear that this project will commence in the near future.

The Government of Alberta has indicated that design work will begin in 2017, with construction commencing, possibly as soon as 2019. The project timeline is projected to take about three years to

The recognition that Highway # 15 is critical to the safe, efficient movement of people and products in our region is very encouraging!

Capital investment into our key transportation corridors is an indication that the Government of Alberta recognizes the value of energy development and the building of safe, sustainable communities.

Highway 15 is a main artery into, and through, our nation’s largest hydrocarbon processing region. Employees, product, emergency responders, and families need efficient and safe access on a daily basis. We are very pleased that the Government of Alberta is committed to twinning Highway 15 as well as the bridge over the North Saskatchewan River. This important upgrade to our transportation network is vital to the growth of our

communities, businesses, and industrial region.”

As Bruderheim sits in the centre of the Alberta’s Industrial Heartland, Mayor Karl Hauch said, “A safe, high functioning transportation network is critical to keep this economic region thriving and to ensure the safety of our citizens. We appreciate the province recognizing the value of investing in this infrastructure that keeps Albertans productive and industry economically sound.

Going forward, we are definitely looking forward to future announcements in our region regarding other transportation needs.

Finally, I need to state that the safety of our residents is our primary concern.”

Ed Gibbons, Chair of Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association said, “Highway 15 is a main artery into, and

through, our nation’s largest hydrocarbon processing region.

Employees, product, emergency responders, and families need efficient and safe access on a daily basis. We are very pleased that the Government of Alberta is committed to twinning

Highway 15 as well as the bridge over the North Saskatchewan River. This important upgrade to our transportation network is vital to the growth of our communities, businesses, and industrial region.”

Andrew Figure Skating Club hosts annual gala and awards

Michelle Pinon Editor

Members of the Andrew Figure Skating Club (AFSC) created many special moments while parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends captured many special moments of their own during the annual gala on Sunday, March 19.

It was the highlight of their season that was filled with many different accomplishments

from the youngest to the oldest skaters and coaches. Head Coach Abby Kozma led the club with grace and style, and assisting her was Coach Juline Chomay, who also put in many additional hours on the ice as she returned to competitive skating at the senior level after a four year hiatus. Also recognized for their contributions to the club were program assistants Colby Yaremie, Devon Hamaliuk, and Abigail

Marianicz.

Jordan Fedorvich was very happy to return to the ice this season after spending eight months off with a broken leg the previous season. There were highs and lows for most of the skaters who were described as having a positive mental attitude, willingness to work hard and meet all of the challenges they faced head on while being a great support to their fellow skaters and friends.

Mundare council donates brick Michelle Pinon Editor

SUBMITTED PHOTO The Andrew Elementary students in Gr. 3 – 6 participated in a speech competition on March 17, 2017 at Andrew School.The winners are: Grade 3: Brooke Hamaliuk (1st), Izzy Howson (2nd), Kristina Lopes (3rd).

Grade 4: Preston Burback (1st), Kaige Grosul (2nd), Blair Habart (3rd) Grade 5: Kienna Grosul (1st), Simon Anderson (2nd), Kaylee Marianicz (3rd). Grade 6: Kayla Cutler (1st), Taylor Lamash (2nd), Jayla MuyersMcMullan (3rd). The first prize winners from Grade 4, 5, and 6 will be representing Andrew School at the Elk Island Public Schools speech competition on April 20 at County Hall in Sherwood Park at 4 p.m.

In recognition of Peter Polishchuk’s recent 90th birthday and his contributions to the Town of Mundare as a long serving Mayor, council voted in favour of purchasing a brick in his honour during the regular meeting on Tuesday, March 21.

Polischuk served as Mayor of Mundare from 1967 to 1980, and members of council wanted to honour him for his years of dedicated service to the community.

Mundare and area residents will also be able to purchase bricks for the

Canada 150 project that will have them featured in the newly constructed walkway of the Quentin Warawa Memorial Park that is located beside the Mundare Recreation Centre.

The bricks come in two sizes, 4”x8” or 8”X8”, and can be ordered through the town office up until April 14. To date six small bricks and one large brick has been sold.

“Response has been stronger than I thought,” stated Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla, who is hoping to reach the 30 brick mark before the deadline.

Lamont Elementary School hosts speech competition

By Ethan Weleschuk and Dylan Onushko LES JUNIOR NEWS TEAM The Grade 4-6 students of Lamont Elementary School competed in a speech competition on Tuesday, March 21.

All of the Grade 4-6 students were required to make a two to three minute speech on any topic they chose. Some of the speeches were about Being Short, Playing Soccer, Dirt, Dance, Basketball, Food, Video Games, and Global Warming, A Neglected Shelf and A Crazy House.

The speech competition has three rounds, first the students say

their speeches in class and the teachers pick the four best speeches to move on to the next round. In the next round the students do their speeches in front of all grade 4-6 students and 9 guest judges. The guest judges chose the best speech from each grade.

The final round is the District Competition in April.

The winner for Grade 4 was Christian Nimchuk with his speech on Hockey and why the Montreal Canadians are better than the Edmonton Oilers. Dylan Onushko, Grade 5, won for his speech on ADHD. The Grade 6 winner was Olivia Akitt and her

speech on MCI – MiddleChild-Itis. Olivia has now won three school speech competitions.

Last year Olivia represented Lamont Elementary in the district competition and came in first and the year before she in second.

When asked why she did so well in speech competitions Olivia replied “I think my speeches do well because they are humorous and because I memorize them and put a lot of expression into how I say my speeches.”

In April, our school

winners will compete against the winners from all the schools in the Elk I s l a n d P u b l i c Division.

We are proud to have three great speakers represent L a m o n t Elementary School!

Pictured from left to right are top speech winners: Christian Nimchuk, Dylan Onushko, and Olivia Akitt.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Opinion OPINION-EDITORIAL: Provincial Budget 2017 Our 2017 Budget is about making the lives of Albertans better.

That means creating and protecting jobs, investing in long-overdue repairs and modernizations of our schools and hospitals, and making critical improvements to our roads and highways.

It also means making things more affordable for everyday families, keeping taxes on Albertans the lowest in Canada, and bringing the deficit down, thoughtfully and prudently.

Alberta’s economy is stabilizing and jobs are returning. Now is not the time to let our steady hand waver. As our economy recovers, we

will continue to bring the deficit down to balance, and we will do so without sacrificing the supports and services families need.

What are those supports and services?

We are making life more affordable with a 25% reduction in school fees, saving families over $50 million.

We are making education in Alberta better by

building 26 badly needed new schools to replace aging and overcrowded schools across Alberta.

We are investing in long-overdue modernizations of hospitals and health centres across Alberta, and significant new measures to increase homecare supports, helping seniors and our loved ones live in their homes longer and safer.

We are helping all Albertans by building bridges, overpasses and interchanges, as well as making sure our highways are modern and get people and goods where they need to be safely and efficiently.

And we are continuing to do what previous gov-

ernments couldn’t and get a new pipeline built to the Canadian coast the best way for our world-class energy producers to sell our resources at world-class prices.

All the while, this Budget maintains Alberta’s $8.7 billion tax Advantage over every other Canadian province.

Some say that we shouldn’t be creating these jobs and making these necessary improvements to hospitals, schools and highways.

We disagree.

Now is not the time to cut billions of dollars worth of services people need and put more Albertans out of work.

Now is not the time to

make parents pay skyhigh school fees.

Now is not the time to cram our classrooms with as many kids as possible.

Now is not the time to put our historic pipeline approvals in jeopardy.

Reckless cuts to essential public services didn’t help families when former governments responded to economic downturns that way, and it sure wouldn’t help families now.

Alberta’s economy is expected to grow by 2.6 per cent this year, the highest economic growth rate in Canada. That estimate is more cautious than some, such as the Conference Board of Canada’s, that predict economic growth of 2.8

per cent.

Budget 2017 keeps that growth going, while maintaining a prudent and balanced approach to reducing the deficit.

We are reducing the cost of government by working with the doctors to find savings in health care, and cutting the salaries and perks of highly-paid CEOs of government agencies, boards and commissions.

We are creating jobs, protecting services and making life more affordable for all Albertans.

In short, Budget 2017 helps regular people, and in doing so it makes life better for Albertans.

Joe Ceci, President of Treasury Board & Minister of Finance

Letter to the Editor Insulting politicians an insult to democracy It’s not easy to stay cool during political debates, especially if you really care. But we have to take a stand against politicians who insult each other, and us, instead of debating policy.

As a Green Party supporter, and a country girl, I am genuinely frightened of public policy that fails to protect the ecosystem and the family farm. I am worried that the countryside will continue to empty, and that our food supply will be left in the hands of corporations. I am convinced that they will grow increasingly low quality food, destroy our air, soil, water and biodi-

versity, and walk away leaving us in a mess. We’ve already seen how business behaves with orphan wells.

I feel so strongly about these issues that it’s tough to keep cool. But we should be debating issues, not attacking people. Insulting politicians is an insult to democracy itself. During the last election, on the occasions that I represented the Green Party at public forums in Battle River - Crowfoot, people often commented how much they appreciated the dignity and courtesy that all the candidates demonstrated.

We argued passionately, but we respected each other. I was proud to

take part in the democratic process, and I respect voters’ choice.

In the last few weeks, we’ve heard politicians refer to people as “sewer rats”, and to Alberta’s legitimatelyelected Premier as “as a vicious, poisonous, toxic cocktail of mediocrity (and) incompetence…(who) requires an extreme amount of adult supervision.” There are no ideas or issues in these statements, so nothing was added to the public debate. At best, this nonsense is a distraction. At worst, insulting people is a cheap ploy to get support from people who are angry with the government of the day.

Politicians shouldn’t hurl stupid insults at each other, or us. Not only is it undignified, it reveals an alarming lack of self-control. Their job is to listen respectfully to everybody, think deeply and act prudently. If we want our democracy to work, we have to insist that candidates respect the importance of thoughtful public debate, and allow citizens to make up our own minds in an atmosphere of tolerance and respect.

From Where I Sit: Shhhh!

By Hazel Anaka I don’t often get to read The Globe and Mail but a lifestyle piece in the March 1, 2016 issue grabbed me by the lapels.

Could this woman’s simple story provide another clue into my own makeup and very being? Naturally, I couldn’t leave it alone and like so many times in life, one thing led to another.

The piece referenced a 2012 bestseller by Susan Cain called Quiet which I promptly bought. That purchase led to two others, an awakening, and several ‘well, duh’ moments. Over several

months, I read all three and began seeing myself in a new and kinder light.

Frankly, I’m both shocked and relieved that parts of my essence are still being revealed to me at this point in my life. I’m well past the coming-of-age age.

Maybe, if we’re lucky and stay alert, revelations continue until that last deathbed moment.

The books I read were Quiet-The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking, Introvert Power-Why Your Inner Life is Your Hidden Strength (Laurie Helgoe), and The Irresistible Introvert-Harness the Power of Quiet (Michaela Chung).

So, my secret’s out.

Despite doing some very extroverted activities (speaking to large groups as a marriage commissioner/funeral celebrant and appearing on TV and radio through my festival coordinator duties) I skew to the introvert end of the personality continuum.

We don’t hate people.

We simply do better in small gatherings or deeper one-on-one conversations than in large groups. We prefer email to the phone. We prefer offices to open concept cube farms. We are more sensitive to smells and noise. We are sensitive, period. We reflect, see patterns, are drawn to the inner world of our own minds.

Despite all that, society pressures us to ‘loosen up, have a little fun, come out for a drink, don’t think so much, stop being so sensitive.’

I’ve said and thought the same, to and about myself (and others).

That’s bulls@!t.

But, that was then.

Now, I find myself working introversion into conversations or writing this column in another attempt to spread the word.

Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, give yourself the gift of awareness.

Treat those who are different than you with new

insight. And now, if you don’t mind, I’d rather be

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator model shows 57% of people are introverts. Yet, we are marginalized and made to feel weird. In fact, in 2010 attempts were made to “include introversion as a diagnostic indicator for certain mental disorders” in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.

Cain says, “Introversion - along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness, and shyness - is now a second class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology.”

To be clear, all of us have both introvert extrovert aspects to our personalities. Those of us who are drained versus energized by social interaction are introverts.

Those of us who love our own company, choose reading over partying, and need to retreat to recharge are introverts.

We tend to be innovators, thinkers, creators.

True 2 You program receives additional provincial funding Michelle Pinon Editor

A special leadership program for young girls in Lamont County has just received Alberta’s first-ever Status of Women grant worth $11,250 which will triple the number of girls that can attend from 10 to 30.

Stephanie McLean, Minister for the Status of Women, said the True 2 You program has received “overwhelming interest” in the area, and that Family & Community Support Services, which serves the Lamont County region had a “strong and

Alberta Status of Women Minister Stephanie McLean

compelling” application.

McLean made the announcement last Wednesday at the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts & Counties, (AAMD&C) annual convention in Edmonton.

True 2 You is described as a unique 10 week after school girls leadership program. “With this grant, it will now be offered in the towns of Lamont, Andrew, Mundare and Bruderheim.”

McLean went on to say, “It (the program), is designed to encourage healthy self-image and life choices. Each program will take 10 girls to participate, and covers topics such as: self esteem, dealing with social media, resolving conflicts, budgeting, self care, and healthy relationships.”

Stephen Hill, Director of Planning and Community Services for Lamont County, said the program has been offered for 10 years, and continues to be a “wellfilled need in this community as it supports the

healthy development of our pre-teen girls.”

He went on to say, “Previously, the program was only able to provide one session in our communities each year. With the grant approval, the county will be able to provide one session in our communities each year. With the grant approval, the county will be able to expand the offering to three sessions in each of our communities over the course of this year. Each session can accommodate 10 girls Grades 5-6. Over the past 10 years hundreds of girls have attended the True 2 You program.”

All totalled, there were a total of 266 organizations which applied for a total of $14 million in funding under the grant program, noted McLean.

Originally $500,000 had been set aside, but because of the huge response, the amount of available funds were increased to $1.5 million.

Of the applicants, McLean said 30 per cent of them were new applicants.

ROAD BANS in effect

MARCH 30 to JUNE 1, 2017 Roads bans protect the safety and integrity of our roads. When the ground thaws, roads are more vulnerable to damage from heavy vehicles. To prevent this, vehicles are required to reduce their axle weight to 75 per cent.

Protect our roads. Lighten your loads.

New Sanctuary This past year has been an exciting one for Lamont Alliance Church. After many years of planning and saving, the decision was made to build a new sanctuary onto the north side of our building. Construction began last July with members of our church praying over the construction site.

As excited as we are to have a new sanctuary, we wanted to start with focusing on why we are doing it, as well as to pray for the safety of everyone involved in the construction process.

We feel God has truly blessed us.

Despite a very wet summer, we are on schedule to open this fall. We have seen numerous people working in and around the site, both trades people and volunteers, and have had no injuries.

The support that weʼve had from our local business community has been overwhelming! Whether itʼs been getting supplies, equipment or expertise for the various trades needed, we have always had someone ready and willing to help us out. We are so thankful to be part of such a great community and look forward to welcoming everyone to see our sanctuary once itʼs done!

Thank You Lamont

Silver for Bruderheim Bruins Novice team SUBMITTED PHOTO

Members of the Bruderheim Bruins Novice Tier 4 hockey team recently capped off their season earning their way to a silver medal in the 16/60 Hockey League Tier 4 finals. Congratulations to one and all for all their hard work and dedication throughout the season.

Perfect spring weather for Chipman’s Cutter Rally Michelle Pinon Editor

Local horse enthusiasts parked their trucks and trailers and geared up for sleighs and wagons for their four legged friends to take them through the quiet countryside surrounding Chipman .

It was the first time in several years since members of the Chipman Agricultural Society had hosted a Cutter Rally, and several were surprised and elated with the turnout that netted 10 cutters, two wagons, and eight outriders.

Fort Saskatchewan area resident Lorne McLaughlin heard about the event from friends, and was happy to be able to get together with some of the same people he goes on trail rides in the mountains in summer time. “Usually we go for seven to 10 days,” says McLaughlin, who is especially taken with the scenery of the Clearwater area.

One of those friends he was referring to is Bruderheim area resident Harvey Nelson.

They’ve shared many memories, and Nelson is extremely grateful to be able to share opportunities to ride together, especially since he received a life saving operation on July 16, 2011. That was the day he underwent a double lung transplant. Nelson said a fortunate series of events occurred, and he was accepted to partici-

Len Hodgson holds the reigns steady for his enthusiastic passengers while heading out on the trail from the Village of Chipman late Saturday morning with temperatures on the plus side of things. pate in a number of clinical studies at the U of A. With a rapidly declining health, and constant need for oxygen, he said he had no quality of life until after undergoing the operation.

“So many people are on the list and there are not enough donors. That is the main reason why he has been actively raising funds for research and treatment for the cause.

Every May, Nelson and his close friends participate in the 2nd Chance Trail Ride from Lindberg to Elk Point. “We raise funds for all types of organ donations.”

Cutter Rally trail boss Len Hodgson has also been instrumental in the 2nd Chance Trail Ride, and is more than happy to be able to keep the tradition of Cutter Rally’s alive as well. Chipman resident Randy Morningstar said he loves the fun environment and friendly people at the Cutter Rallies

and had also enjoyed participating in the Chipman Fair Days in years gone by. He fondly recalled the floats he made for the Fair Days parade, and was happy to be able to ride along on the leisurely outing on Saturday.

Chipman Agricultural Society Treasurer Tracy

Childs, who was one of the outriders on the trail ride, said all of the participants had a good time, even though there were a couple of set backs along the way, but the fun and comraderie pretty much guarantees that they’ll all be back next year for the event.

Cenovus employees volunteer at Lamont County Food Bank

Michelle Pinon Editor

Cenovus employees rolled up their sleeves to lend a helping hand to the Lamont County Food Bank March 24.

A total of eight

employees, most of whom are based out of the Bruderheim Energy Terminal, were full of energy and enthusiasm, and exuded joyfulness.

Maintenance Co-ordinator Graham Pronishen said employees love

helping out, and this is the second time they have been able to help out the organization.

Lamont County Food Bank spokesperson Betty Sheptycki was thrilled they were able to help them out. It was also

good timing as the volunteers were able to help unload and sort a Super Pallet of food from the Alberta Food Bank, which receives donations from corporations and shares what they can with fellow food bank

members.

Sheptycki said the food and the physical labour couldn’t have come at a better time as the shelves were practically empty because demand has outmatched supply in only two and a

half months time. Some of the items the food bank is still in need of are: pork and beans, stewed tomatoes, coffee, tea and cereal. “Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps.�

10 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, March 28, 2017

This is the first Sr Boys Basketball team in Andrew in a couple years, and it was coached by Mr. Hazlehurst and Mr. Kennerd. The season was a short one, consisting of a home and home series with H.A. Kostash and a trip to Kitscoty for their annual tournament. Given the length of the season and the number of new players we had this year, the students progressed very fast with a steep learning curve. The drive and determination the boys showed in this short season was truly a sight to be seen. Back row (l to r) Coach TJ Kennerd-, Keaton Kuich, Ryan Leliuk. Ryan Zukiwski, Christopher Melnyk, Mark McAmmond, Coach Kyle Hazlehurst Front row from left to right: Matthew Melnyk, Austin Fillion, Devon Hamaliuk, Brett Hrynevich, and Colby Yaremie.

Andrew School junior girls have had another successful year in basketball. While working on skill development and sportsmanship, the girls were also able to have a little fun as well. Although the team may have been few in numbers (sometimes running a bench of one), the girls worked hard to put forth their best efforts every game. These girls were proud to be Wildcats and are looking forward to donning the jerseys next season in pursuit of reaching their highest potential. Back row from left to right: Britt McAmmond, Kaitlyn Yadlowski, Jayda Pickett, Ashley Melnyk, Serenity Hampel, Coach- Mr. Lance Goudie.

Forage Seed for Sale The Jr Boys Basketball team went through a strong rebuilding year this past season. The few veterans we had in the group took it upon themselves to teach and engrain the younger athletes on the team with a strong work ethic. The team kept building their skills and determination all year and showed real progress. The season ended with a missed 3 point buzzer beater in the quarter final game against Fultonvale. Showing the rest of the district that the Andrew School Basketball program is on the rise in the coming years.

Andrew School proves to be right on target with successful archery program Michelle Pinon Editor

The Andrew School Archery Team capped off another successful season recently.

Coaches Greg Cruickshank and Siobhan Jarema were very pleased with all of the students who participated in the program. A total 16 students between the Grades of 4 and 7 participated in the three month season, attending weekly practices as well as competitions in Smoky Lake and Edmonton during that time.

The final event of the year was the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) Canadian Nationals at the Northland’s Expo Centre during the Boat and Sportsman Show from March 16 to 18.

“Andrew’s individual archers did extremely well with top honours going to Britt McAmmond, Colton Foreman, Trent Grosul, and Kayla Cutler,” stated Cruickshank. Archers compete at 10 metres, 15 metres with three rounds of 10 arrows, explained Cruickshank. So the maximun score is 300.

“Our top kids earned over 200,” added Cruickshank, who was very pleased with the results.

The archery program began at Andrew School three years ago. Since that time, “The program has been very successful at encouraging students to participate as a member of a school team, while focusing on their individual goals and success. The program also helps develop a sense of accomplishment for stu-

dents who get to see their skills improve over time.

Cruickshank was pleased to say the school would continue offering

the NASP program, and both the coaches and students will be looking to

build on their successes as they continue to excel in the sport.

The Canadian Nationals in Edmonton proved to be very exciting for Andrew School students who performed very well during the thrilling competition.
