A vehicle lays in pieces after failing to jump an embankment near Chipman, Mar. 6. Two suspected thieves were driving the vehicle at a high rate of speed trying to avoid police when the accident occurred. The occupants had to be cut out of the vehicle before being transported to hospital with serious injuries.

Theft suspects fail at Dukes of Hazzard re-enactment

BY JOHN MATHER A theft of mail from a post office in Veteran, Alberta early Mar. 6, led to a police chase through several RCMP jurisdictions before the suspects made a Dukes of Hazzard type leap over the washed out bridge on Range Road 184, east of Chipman, not making it, and crashing into an embankment near the far side of the bridge.

The call first came in to RCMP in Consort at 5:30 a.m.. A suspect vehicle was soon identified and the chase was

on with officers from detachments in Vegreville, Viking and Killam involved.

The vehicle tried to a make the ‘Dukes of Chipman’ jump at approximately 8:30 a.m. shortly after RCMP were coordinating a containment action.

Nearby resident Tracy Childs heard the commotion and saw the STARS ambulance land in her field as one of the occupants had to be extracted from the vehicle and airlifted to an

Edmonton hospital. A second vehicle occupant was extracted and taken by ground ambulance to hospital. Both suffered serious life threatening injuries.

Lamont County peace officer Derek Wright received the call at about 8:30 a.m. and was on the scene as the two were extracted from the vehicle and taken to hospital. The road was closed for several hours.

The accident was then transferred to the Alberta Serious Incident Response

Team (ASIRT) which has been directed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision and actions of police. The Alberta Serious Incident Response team, in a release Mar. 9, stated the male airlifted to hospital was 37years-old, while the second suspect was 40-years-old. Their medical condition has been upgraded to critical condition.

The RCMP will continue to investigate the events leading up to the collision.

Andrew skaters try out new levels at competitions

Colton Foreman (right), a former Andrew Figure Skating Club member poses on the second place podium at a recent competition in Airdrie. First place went to Cooper Feser out of Calgary’s Glencoe Club while third place was captured by Sean Lowe from the Fliteway Club in Edmonton.

Andrew figure skater sets personal best at competition Colton Foreman, a local Lamont County resident and former Andrew figure skater, took home a second place finish in his short program as well a personal best in a compeition in Airdrie Feb. 29.

Foreman currently is in Grade 10 at St.Mary’s In Vegreville.

At the Airdrie meet, he competed in the Pre Novice discipline against five other competitors in his level. He also won a

bronze medal and another personal best in his long program. There was a total of four skaters competing for podium alongside him.

Foreman was introduced to skating six years ago on his home ice with the Andrew Figure Skating Club.

Last April, he changed clubs to advance his skating techniques and skills. Colton currently skates with the Sherwood Park Skating

Club with head coach Teri Gallant.

This young man is pushing himself to new limits and skating past his goals. His next goal is to gain the technical scores to compete in the National Skate Canada Challenge this December.

Colton aspires to become a physical therapist as well as a competitive figure skating coach in his future.

Harding-Doctor for a competition that has previously been held in Calgary. This competition was filled with more success with three strong skates. Harding-Doctor’s solo earned him third place in Star 5 and Marianicz’s long program earned her first place in Star 10.

For Marianicz it was the second time she moved up a level in her long program this year.

Her short program didn’t place this time but was close.

This Saturday, March 14, the entire Andrew Figure Skating Club will be performing in their annual Ice Show carnival with a theme of “Music Mania”. A variety of music will be skated to with each skater showing off this year’s solos as well as some new group numbers that have been put together specially for this event.

says their coach Juline Sieben.

Two weeks later, Marianicz competed at the Alberta Winter Games in Airdrie. The Alberta Winter Games is similar to a provincial amateur Olympics with the kids travelling and staying at the competition with their “team”; and having a coach from your zone, and not your club coach that you would train with normally.

“It was a different but fun experience for me,” says Marianicz. “I feel like I learned a lot about my skating and myself that weekend because so many things weren’t the same as how they would be at a regular skating competition. It was my first time going so everything was new but overall I had a performance I am proud of.”

The weekend of February 29 had Marianicz back in Airdrie along with

TRACY DOCTOR For the month of February, members of the Andrew Figure Skating Club’s StarSkaters were attending a competition every other weekend.

February’s first weekend saw six skaters from the club, Kaylee Marianicz, James Harding-Doctor, Ava Toma, Izzy Howson, Xaraya Rajoo, and Jordyn Lamash, travel to Whitecourt, with almost every skater trying their hand at a new level.

“For many of the skaters, they hadn’t competed since November. It was awesome that their training since then allowed many of the kids to either move up a level or try their solo for the second time in the levels they would have moved up in to at the start of the year.

Whitecourt was a successful competition for all of the kids with personal bests all around,”

Opinion What’s the deal with toilet paper?

Some weeks there are so many amusing or annoying things going on, that it is just plain hard to decide what to complain about. This seems to be one of those weeks, and rather than just choosing one I thought maybe it was time to do a mixed bag of opinions.

Was anyone else in shock and awe when former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean publicly stated he was on Premier Jason Kenney’s side when it comes to trying to negotiate a better deal for Alberta in Canada? I was.

Jean went just a little bit further than the Premier. He said Ottawa has got to agree with Alberta’s demands for equality in Canada, or risk separation. In fact, he suggested Alberta leave if PM Trudeau does not agree to the recommendations by the Fair Deal Panel which will be presented in early April.

It’s not like the Fair Deal Panel or Jean are asking for anything unreasonable: each province should be treated fairly; House and Senate should have true representation by population; eliminate the ability of the Federal Government from passing laws that impact one province without the majority of provincial MPs and Senators from that province also supporting it; and have the constitution state that one single province can not prevent another from having access to tidewater for the purpose of international trade.

Jean has publicly stated that he has reached a breaking point, and that Canada is broken. He’s a smart man, and a true Albertan to set his past disputes with Kenney aside to support this plight.

An inconvenient truth…

In an article recently revived from the 1800s about an expedition to the North Pole, a Dutch whaling captain’s log in 1665 stated that he guided his wooden ship to longitude 89.5º north “and found open iceless waters.” As well, in 1766, Captain Thomas Robinson reached 82.5º north “and found the seas so open that he might at least have sailed on to 83º.” In 1773, the captain’s log said he travelled to longitude 81.5º north in pursuit of whales and saw the sea “open to the west and eastnorth-east as far as he could distinguish from the masthead.” For reference, we are roughly at longitude 53-54º depending on your location.

Is it possible that global warming was occurring before the industrial revolution when the human population was only 50 million? Must be 17th and 18th Century climate change, right?

And then there’s this…

I understand that with social media’s knee-jerk overreaction to every little thing that happens on the planet, people are already fearful of Coronavirus despite there only being a couple of known cases in Alberta. But why the toilet paper hoarding? I panic when there is no food, either in the fridge or in grocery stores. Without food, not much need for excessive toilet paper in my opinion.

Sunny days ahead…

I can never understand the issue so many people have with Daylight Savings Time (DST). A study published in the National Post over the weekend stated that the one hour time change creates a six percent increase in fatal vehicle accidents during the week of the change due to sleep misalignment. What gobshite.

Personally I couldn’t care less if they stopped changing the clocks.

On the other hand I have always enjoyed an extra hour of evening golf.

COMMENTARY It used to be one cause, one protest

BY JOHN MATHER It’s worrisome to say the least, as I look at the gathering clouds on the horizon as they concern Alberta and the country.

I haven’t committed to separatism yet, but having been involved in the political scene in Alberta since I was in my late 20s and in Canada since I was a young child, I can definitely see things have to change.

Our society is getting to be a silly place and I’ll categorically state social media is not making it any better.

Post a question on social media and while you’ll get an answer you’ll also get numerous posts of crap from people who have no clue on the issue and are what I like to to call “interrupters.”

These people have nothing to offer, they just

like to make noise.

Prior to social media, they had no outlet for their noise and were thus rendered silent.

Over the years, I’ve learned that change can be suggested and made if a person approaches the change they want with a well documented, coherent strategy.

Talk to those in charge and listen carefully to the answers. Often the person you’re talking to can’t individually make the change you seek… all they can do is relay the message up the chain of command. So be respectful! Ranting, yelling screaming and carrying on in an undignified manner will get you nowhere.

I used to protest back in my younger days.

While we had a message, protesting was still a social occasion.

But we only protested once. A protest will get attention and if you’re protesting at the right group or person the message will be received.

A recent newspaper column brought the problem with today’s protestors home for me.

I have a problem with people protesting today.

Firstly, they generally are uninformed on what they are protesting.

Back in my day (insert OK Boomer here if you want), when we went protesting we had a plan besides gathering and yelling.

We had a goal. We had a cause. One cause! We presented our argument, generally by having one spokesperson who would ask to meet with the other side.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Speaks for itself

BY HAZEL ANAKA In the past I’ve written about studies that link low education levels and incarceration. One US website cites a National Adult Literacy Survey that found that “70% of all incarcerated adults cannot read at a 4th grade level, meaning they lack the reading skills to navigate many everyday tasks or hold down anything but lower (paying) jobs.”

Reading levels go hand in hand with vocabulary. The foundation of a strong vocabulary is established by the age of three or four. A 2012 story in The Atlantic about the ‘word gap’ between rich and poor stated that: “Between professional

Commentary Continued from Page 4 It was civilized confrontation, although at times, I have seen them get out of hand.

Today one cause is out the window. People protest numerous causes to people who in many cases have absolutely nothing to do with the situation.

When the protest is finished and the issue resolved, they aren’t done. The protestors keep coming back.

All that does is alienate the opposition. A group sees constant protesting and they just turn it off and reject it outright.

Which leads to the last

households and lowincome households, there is a gap of 32 million words over the first four years of life. And there is a direct correlation between the intensity of these early verbal experiences and later achievement.”

I’d be curious to know if those last two sentences are still accurate eight years later. Not because I doubt that poorer children are disadvantaged but because we know being rich is no insurance against all ills.

Follow me for a minute. Professional or higher income households are linked to higher education levels which typically means greater awareness of most things (like the need to talk to, read to, spend time with your children). If those kids are left to their own devices---figuratively and literally---and only use texting and social media to the exclusion of actual reading, they are no better off than their poorer counterparts.

Understand that I’m talking about reading in

the broadest sense. It needn’t be textbooks or literature to count.

That’s one huge topic of debate and concern.

But what I’m trying to wrap my head around is what appears to be vocabulary laziness.

People who clearly are educated, successful, in the public view, older millennials or baby boomers but resort to the easy and in my view, the lazy way to communicate. I’m dismayed when I hear ‘super’ added to every damn thing: super good, super rich, super fast, super complicated, super old, super anything and everything. It reminds of the old line about ‘a person who doesn’t read is no better off than one who can’t read’ in that the person who can’t be bothered to find the perfect word is no better off than the one without words.

And yes, I understand the reasons may be more complicated than laziness. We’ve all used popular catch phrases to show we’re “woke” and part of the in crowd.

Another thing that baf-

problem with today’s protests.

Each side is all about “ME.” No one wants to recognize each side might be making some valid points. The divide is great and getting greater.

Compromise has been pitched out the window.

In a recent DART/ and MARU/Blu poll conducted by a national newspaper, 69 per cent of the respondents agreed with the statement, “Right now, Canada is broken.” The number rose to 83 per cent in Alberta.

“Canada is not broken. Canada’s institutions are broken,” said Donald Savoie, the Canada Research Chair

in Public Administration and Governance at the University of Moncton, who has written extensively about democracy in Canada.

Savoie said from the beginning of confederation, the governance structures were designed to balance Quebec and Ontario, without much regard for western Canada.

He went on to say that until there is an institution that can speak on behalf of the regions, “we are going to have a problem.”

And if people are unwilling to compromise and work together towards solutions, the problem is going to be compounded.

fles me is the “no problem” or “no worries” response to my thank you. I’m aware enough to know that’s a baby boomer pet peeve.

Heavens, even linguists have entered the fray. Apparently, it has to do with differing beliefs about giving and gratitude between millennials and boomers. When I thank a cashier, it’s because I received a product or service. I think the cashier should be thanking me for my patronage but that rarely happens. The old (oldfashioned) response is “you’re welcome.”

Yes, it was clearly your job to serve me and take

my money but I noticed and thanked you for your care and attention.

To do otherwise would make me rude and ungrateful.

Ideally, you’d understand and appreciate my thanks by saying “you’re welcome” because the implicit truth is: if I weren’t here supporting this business, you’d be unemployed. It should be your pleasure to do so. Not an interruption to your texting or an intrusion into your day but a mutually beneficial transaction that keeps the wheels of commerce turning.

The same rationale pertains to public ser-

vants and others providing a service. If you can’t muster up some genuine interest in and gratitude for the people coming to your counter (or telephone line) for information or help, then don’t be surprised when your job disappears. Chalk it up to good manners or a selfish desire to hang onto your job.

Avoiding jail, and improving job and income opportunities are just a couple reasons to improve the vocabularies of yourself and the children within your reach. Using that extensive vocabulary speaks for itself, from where I sit.

Bruderheim Meteorite 60th anniversary marked by students

BY JANA SEMENIUK Students at Bruderheim School gathered in their gymnasium during the afternoon of Mar. 4 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Bruderheim meteorite.

On Mar. 4th, 1960 at 1:06 a.m., a bright fireball tore through the sky above central Alberta.

The glowing stone detonated before hitting the earth, sending a sonic boom that was heard over 5,000 square kilometeres and rained down shards and chunks of rock that landed just north of Bruderheim.

Pieces of the meteorite are on display in museums all over the world, most notably one piece is displayed in Bruderheim’s Fire Station.

“The afternoon of building was very interesting. Each group had to figure out their own dynamics and different leaders came forward,” she said. “There were tears, celebration, anything a group goes through when they are creating something new.

In the end they were all successful so it was fabulous.”

A 15-minute video, filmed in Bruderheim five years ago for the 55th anniversary, was also shown to the students. It chronicled the event and included interviews with past and present residents who experienced the evening first hand in 1960.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, March 11, 2020 15

Campbell McLennan

CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM Councillor Dan Skousbal, left, and Mayor Karl Hauch, right, during the Mar. 4 Bruderheim council meeting.

Town puts halt to stop signs

BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim town council struck down a motion made by mayor Karl Hauch to exchange two yield signs for stop signs in a vote of three to two during the Mar. 4 council meeting.

Hauch brought forward a concern to council that the two yield signs at the intersection of 50 Avenue and 50 Street were not enough to keep the intersection safe.

“We have bumpers on the curbs and its calmed the traffic down a little bit but people on this street drive pretty fast. I know this for a fact because I was t-boned there,” said Hauch.

“Also, people that live near that intersection have seen accidents and had people drive up on their lawns so they are asking for this as well.”

Hauch added that the cost to the town in order to replace the two yield signs with stop signs would be approximately $660.

Councillor Dan Skousbal was concerned that the motion would go against recommendations from Alberta Transportation.

“Looking at the recommendations from the 10 year collision history, it says the stop signs aren’t

warranted,” said Skousbal. “The problem I see is that we are a small town and the stop signs will be a hinderance to the honest people who will be the only ones to stop.”

Chief administrative office Patty Podoborozny added that the traffic investigation was very thorough.

“This investigation was done by the traffic analyst and the traffic engineer and the RCMP with Alberta Transportation and they all say it (stop signs) was not warranted,” she said.

Additionally, Skousbal was concerned that installing stop signs against recommendations would put the town at risk with a liability.

“If someone came to a complete stop and got rear-ended the town might be responsible if we installed stop signs against professional recommendations,” he said.

Mayor Karl Hauch and councillor Len Falardeau voted in favour of exchanging the yield signs for stop signs while councillors Pat Lee, Dan Skousbal and deputy mayor Judy Schueler voted against.

Councillors Wayne Olechow and George Campbell were absent from the meeting.
