Deep Freeze ends
Dense fog hangs in the air near Fort Saskatchewan on Jan. 15 which saw temperatures below -40 with the windchill.
Cold snap stalls bus delivery of students to EIPS Schools BY JANA SEMENIUK AND JOHN MATHER Extreme cold warnings dominated much of the weather forecast this past week. Temperatures plummeted to -40C forcing the cancellation of bus service for Elk Island Public Schools. Partial school bus service was cancelled Jan. 13 and all school bus service was cancelled the rest of the week Jan. 14 – Jan. 17. Laura McNabb, director of communication services for EIPS, stated by email that the decision to cancel school buses is never taken lightly, and done only when the safety of students is at risk. “Our guidelines state that once the temperature drops below -40C with windchill, we won’t run buses. Sometimes, this occurs only in our rural areas; for instance, on Monday, we cancelled buses just for Andrew, Mundare and Vegreville,” she said. “When the province-wide extreme cold
warning was announced, however, and temperatures plummeted throughout the division, all 157 buses providing service were suspended.” McNabb added that the safety of students is twofold. “First and foremost, students can’t be waiting outside for the bus in temperatures that can see exposed skin freeze in three minutes. This is especially dangerous as many kids don’t know enough to dress properly for conditions, and are at risk for severe frost bite and hypothermia. Secondly, we can’t rely on buses to function properly in such low temperatures—even if the buses start, they might not continue to run and if they break down, there’s no heat and students could be stranded in the cold for an extended period of time. That’s simply not a chance we’re willing to take,” she said. Suspending bus service can mean large gaps in attendance at schools which see a good percentage of stu-
dents living in rural areas. Bruderheim school principal Cheryl Semeniuk notes that Bruderheim school was definitely smaller in numbers this past week. “We had 50 to 75 per cent of students in attendance this past week,” said Semeniuk by email. “Teachers continue with instruction and communicate with students and families that are not able to come to school due to weather.” Semeniuk added that staff have been creative in helping students stay active while utilizing indoor recesses. “Each recess, various activities are planned which keep students engaged, active and ready to learn throughout the day. The gym, hallways, and open spaces are used during recess for active sports and exercise. Our students have particularly enjoyed the supervised hallway jogging circuit, the laser beam yarn course on the stage, mini-stick hockey as well as classroom board games,” she said.
At Lamont High School cold weather led to the cancellation of the annual basketball tournament. There is no word on when it will be rescheduled. “I can’t tell you how many kids were here,” said a school spokesman. “The buses were cancelled but we had a couple of diploma exams so I know some students, who have their licences, would have driven themselves to school.” The spokesman said it was hard to say how many kids may have been missing. “At the elementary school when the buses don’t run, they know how many kids they are down, but not here,” she said. “I would say we averaged maybe 60 to 70 kids a day last week but we have an enrolment of 300.” She added there were no changes in the curriculum during the cold snap. Temperatures are expected to warm up as we move to the end of January.

Bruderheim council reduction motion defeated again BY JANA SEMENIUK A motion to reduce the number of Bruderheim town councillors from seven to five has once more been defeated. During the town council meeting Jan. 15, deputy mayor Judy Schueler brought the motion forward to be revisited in light of new financial information and a new councillor. “Now that we know what our budget looks like and how policing costs are going to affect us, I think we need to look at this again as a cost saving measure to reduce the number of councillors and save money,” said Schueler. “It would not take place until the next election in 2021, and when we voted last time, we did not have our new councillor there to have his say.” As reported by Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny
when the motion was previously brought forward, the move to reduce the number of councillors by two would save the town $56,000 over the fouryear term of council. Councillor Len Falardeau has been a vocal opponent of the move. “We have bigger budget concerns than that,” he said. “Manipulating council wages to pay for policing is wrong. I don’t think this council should have to take that direction to pay for policing. They (residents) will be billed for policing so you know exactly where it is coming from.” In addition, Councillor George Campbell did not want to see the motion brought forward again. “We already hashed this out. We discussed it thoroughly and voted against it,” he said. “My personal opinion is I don’t see a great savings
in it.” The bylaw passed its first reading before the municipal election in 2017 but was struck down in Oct. 2019 in it’s second reading. Had it passed, a public hearing would have been called so residents could have their say in the proposition. The Oct. vote also took place prior to a seventh councillor being elected. With six at the Oct. meeting the vote tied which is a defeat. Under the Municipal Government Act, council teams may choose their number of council members as long as it is an odd number of at least three. In this area, Bon Accord, a small community with a population of 1529, has five councillors. Others including Lamont (1,774 pop) with seven, Bowden (1,240) with seven, Redwater (1,591) with seven, and Bruderheim (1308) with seven.
Although the motion was defeated a second time it could still be brought forward in the future. While the MGA does not contain specific legislation on the number of times a defeated motion can be brought forward at council meetings, a community’s procedural bylaw does. The Bruderheim meeting procedure bylaw states three circumstances in which a defeated motion may be renewed. “There are many ways we can be fiscally responsible,” said mayor Karl Hauch. “We will consider other options.” Council members George Campbell, Pat Lee, Len Falardeau, Dan Skousbal and Wayne Olechow voted against reducing the number of councillors while mayor Karl Hauch and deputy mayor Judy Schueler voted for.

Opinion Environmental protesters leading Canadians to the brink of destruction What would happen to our country if the cortege rhythm of loudmouth Canadian environmental protestors actually succeeded in shutting down Canuck oil, and the black gold was left in the ground forever? Canada would lose out on incredible economic opportunities as “97 percent” of economic scientists say that oil demand will continue to increase with certainty until at least the year 2050 and likely beyond. So while they would have Canada leave its ethical oil in the ground, countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq and Iran will benefit from our exit from the petroleum market. They will get richer. Canada will get poorer... and the environment will be worse off without us. It’s basically the same thing as GM or Ford capitulating for no reason and allowing Toyota and Volkswagon to sell more vehicles world-wide. The same amount of vehicles will ultimately be sold with our without Ford or GM. But in the environmental fantasy-world where we are no longer producing oil, Canadians will now have to purchase all our oil from the rest of the world. As recently illustrated by our -40 temperatures and seven hours of daylight, Canadians need fossil fuels to at the very least heat their homes - or perish. But beyond petroleum usage for vehicles and airplanes, it is estimated that over 6,000 products world-wide are made from petroleum. So, Canada would also eliminate itself from providing the raw materials necessary to make those products and again open up more market via less competition to the world’s top oil producing countries. They would be upping production to compensate for Canada’s abandonment of the market. So what products would we eliminate ourselves from providing material for? How about everything from nail polish, to soap, to dentures, to hearing aids, to toothpaste and vitamin capsules? How about pens, tires, skis, linoleum, vehicle battery cases, life jackets, basketballs, pantyhose, fishing rods, boats, lipstick, paint, shoes, bandages, cameras, glasses, dishes, clothes, heart valves, and roughly 5,975 more including cell phones, computers and ipads (ahem, Millennials?). Presently Canada produces roughly two billion barrels of oil per year, and without ridiculous government laws, regulations and obstacles, could produce much more. Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the entire world at 170 billion barrels. Besides job losses, oil company revenues and tens of thousands of satellite business revenues will be lost in the hundreds of millions of dollars yearly. Provincial and federal governments will lose their cherished taxation base and meanwhile pay hundreds of millions in EI and crime prevention due to the glut in poverty. At that point in time, environmentalists will have to put away their placards and raise new signs: “Welcome to the third world.” Kerry Anderson
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kenny needs to bring government wages back in line with the rest of Canada For too long, Alberta politicians would pretend to arm wrestle with union bosses while submissively letting government labour costs balloon. Without the political backbone to truly stand up for taxpayers, those politicians stuck Albertans with the bill for salaries and benefits that are often far higher than those in other provinces. It’s time to start reversing course. Premier Jason Kenney has an opportunity to right past wrongs and lower taxpayer costs as his government heads into labour negotiations with union bosses. And not only are cuts needed, they’re clearly warranted. Through freedom of information requests, the Canadian Taxpayers
Federation obtained Alberta government data for 81 government positions. Of those 81 positions, 74 are paid more in Alberta than the average of similar provinces (government data compares Alberta with numbers available for British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario). And many Alberta government positions are paid significantly more than their provincial counterparts. Take a senior museum scientist for example. The maximum compensation for a senior Alberta government museum scientist is $125,900. If that seems like a large sum of money to you it’s because that’s $17,300 more than the same employee would receive in B.C.
The museum scientist is the rule, rather than the exception. About 57 per cent of government occupations that the CTF received data for are paid more than $10,000 more in Alberta than the average in the comparable provinces. More than 10 per cent of the Alberta government occupations receive more than $20,000 above their provincial counterparts. There’s no doubt that some of these government positions provide significant benefits for Albertans. But do Alberta doctors, whose average fee-for-service earning is $413,000, provide benefits so much better than counterparts in Ontario that they deserve nearly $100,000 more from Alberta taxpayers?

Lamont County Councillor and area farmer’s truck stolen, set on fire BY JOHN MATHER A quiet evening of clearing snow from the farm yard turned out to be quite the adventure for Lamont County councillor Neil Woitas Jan. 8. Woitas was using a front-end loader to clean his farmyard after 11 p.m. when he moved his 2007 Chev Tahoe to clear the snow from around it. “It wasn’t even two minutes and a truck pulled in the driveway
… a person jumped out of it and into my Chev and took off,” he said. Woitas gave chase in the front-end loader ramming the Tahoe before it got too far. It did however make it out of his driveway and onto Hwy 45 where the thieves found it was badly damaged, so they set it on fire. Woitas following in his loader captured the entire incident on video and posted his account
on a social media page and reported it to Fort Saskatchewan RCMP. “I can’t believe it,” said Woitas. “I started my truck and moved it and about a minute and a half later it got stolen.” He said while the robbery occurred at midnight, by the time he finished up with the police and fire department it was after 4 a.m. “I hit the vehicle really hard and knocked some windows out,” he said.
“They got about a mile down the road and then they set it on fire.” Woitas said the truck, while insured, was totally destroyed and he lost some combine parts and some cash that was in the vehicle. “It’s getting crazy out here,” he said. “It’s midnight and 24 below, yet these guys took less than five minutes to make a move. It’s crazy.” He said he police came back to his dryer area

funding, the results achieved are no better and, in some cases, worse than in other provinces.” Maybe Alberta pays our government employees more because of competition with the private sector? Well, for many government employees, such as Alberta’s registered nurses whose maximum compensation is $20,000 more than the same nurse in Manitoba, the most obvious comparison is between provincial governments. But even when considering Alberta’s private sector, it’s clear that government cuts are needed. Alberta’s government employees (all levels of government) receive a
nine per cent wage premium compared to their counterparts working for a business. That’s on top of the golden pensions, earlier retirement and greater job security that government employees receive. Workers outside of government have taken it on the chin for years. While total workers’ pay in the province has dropped by over $865 million, the Alberta government’s employee compensation increased by $3 billion between 2014 and 2018. It’s not right to charge taxpayers more to cover inflated salaries and a growing government workforce while taxpayers are struggling. Alberta's inflated government salaries and
benefits stem from past politicians who weren't willing to stand up for taxpayers. As Kenney works to pull Alberta out of its $70-billion debt hole, he will need to bring these bloated labour costs back down to reality. Franco Terrazzano
Continued from Page 4 Salaries and benefits are so inflated among the government’s ranks that taxpayers would save $3 billion every year if the Alberta government’s per-person spending on compensation were brought in line with similar provinces, according to the 2019 Alberta budget. The experts say Albertans are being overcharged. “Alberta’s spending per capita is the highest in Canada,” explained the Blue Ribbon Panel on Alberta’s finances. “The Panel also found that, in some key areas, in spite of the higher levels of

Missing woman’s body located
Tender for the Sale of Land
Last seen at Bruderheim gas station BY JANA SEMENIUK An Edmonton woman, last seen in Bruderheim before going missing, has been found dead. The remains of 32year-old Patricia Pangracs, were found in the Strathcona County area this fall with the help of a dog team. In August, as reported by Global news, police and five canine units were focusing their search on four parcels of land located around the intersection of Range Road 233 and Township Road 514. Police suspect foul play although they have not released a cause of death and do not currently have anyone in custody. Pangracs was reported missing July 8 and was last seen alive a month prior. Security footage, from the Bruderheim Esso gas station on June 7, showed a dark-haired
woman pulling up in a white Cadillac and entering the store. She was last seen wearing dark pants, blue heeled boots, a dark zippered jacket and a white long-sleeved shirt. She was carrying a dark purse, a phone and sunglasses. Police later confirmed she was Pangracs. Prior to her disappearance, Pangracs was involved in a number of criminal charges. Court records showed Pangracs missed a November 22, 2018 court date in Edmonton’s Court of Queen’s Bench which resulted in a warrant being issued for her arrest. She was to face three October 18, 2016 charges which included trafficking a controlled substance (heroin), possession of stolen property under $5,000 and trafficking a controlled substance (carfentanil).
In Edmonton Provincial Court, 79 charges against Pangracs from September 2015 were resolved with a number of them withdrawn on August 15, 2017.

FROM WHERE I SIT: A look back
BY HAZEL ANAKA Someone in Roy’s family had the foresight to hang onto some of the late, great general interest magazines of yesteryear. The short stack includes issues from 1947 to 1966 and copies of Look, Life, and even an Esquire. These magazines are large in size (14 x 10.5 inches), about 130 pages long and were published weekly in their heyday. Propping the May 7, 1965 issue of Life magazine on the book rest of my treadmill has been a fun and educational way to multitask. It’s impossible to truly read while walking but skimming and checking out the photos helps the time fly by. Talk about stepping back in time. If you know anything at all about me, you know it’s never that simple. Of course, I’m going to make comparisons between then and now. Naturally, I’ll notice the content and makeup of the ads. Inevitably, I fall on a quote (or many) that I must share with you. Some general observations: There are many, many ads about cars. Would you believe thirteen full-page ads out of a total of 134 pages? That doesn’t count the four full-page ads and two half pagers for accessories like tires, a Texas driving atlas, shocks, and more. Four full-page ads about liquor and only one about cigarettes, though they did have three full pages devoted to contests sponsored by the likes of Marlboro, Lark, and Chesterfield King cigarettes. Life insurance companies had four, a loan option got half a page,
and a full-pager about mutual funds, another half about US Savings Bonds. I was surprised at the pitches for donating to colleges. I wasn’t surprised by the food, drink, appliance ads directed at women. But I bet you didn’t know that if you, “Want him to be more of a man? (you only had to) Try being more of a woman.” Emeraude parfum by Coty was evidently the how-to answer. There seemed to be a disproportionate emphasis on ballpoint pens including a couple Sheaffer pen ads and one from Parker that declared that a “A girlsize hand needs a girlsize pen (and it’s time the men who make pens did something about it!”) There were a few shockers, though that remind us how far thinking, values, belief systems have evolved. This is the entire text of a fullpage ad extolling the virtues of sugar: “Mary got to school early for Student Council. Her team won in gym. After play rehearsal, she’ll Watusi with the gang. She needs sugar in her life. For energy. She needs energyless, artifi-
cially sweetened foods and beverages like a turtle needs a seat belt. Sugar swings. Serve some. Sugar’s got what it takes...18 calories per teaspoon and it’s all energy.” In a sidebar called Note to Mothers: “Exhaustion may be dangerous---especially to children who haven’t learned to avoid it by pacing themselves. Exhaustion opens the door a little wider to the bugs and ailments that are always lying in wait. Sugar puts back energy fast---offsets exhaustion. Synthetic sweeteners put back nothing. Energy is the first requirement of life. Play safe with your young ones—make sure they get sugar every day.” The ad includes Mary in white bobby socks, penny loafers, glen check plaid skirt and bulky sweater grooving. I also noticed that most ads included nearly half a page of text, something today’s reader with zero attention span wouldn’t bother tackling. The news stories themselves were somewhat shocking. How about this subhead for a tenpage story called
“Screams, Slaps and Love…..A surprising, shocking treatment helps far-gone mental cripples” It talks about University of California researchers taking on four kids “with a special form of schizophrenia called autism---utterly withdrawn children whose minds are sealed against all human contact and whose uncontrolled madness had turned their homes into hells.” Food and

blame the press for things that go wrong. He is supersensitive, reads everything written about him, and complains loudly.” Remind you of anyone? Other stories covered the Vietnam war, John Wayne, a communications satellite, fashion, home décor, the Washington Report. All in all, a wonderful instructive look back, from where I sit.

Bruderheim man wants to change plea to not guilty of dangerous driving causing death KERRY ANDERSON A Bruderheim man who pled guilty to dangerous driving causing death in 2018, but has not been sentenced yet after firing two lawyers, now wants to change his plea to not guilty. Todd Lewis Lambert, according to an agreed statement of facts filed in court, smoked marijuana on May 20, 2016 before driving a Mercedes sedan and crashing it at high speed into the back
of 43-year-old Natalie Hawkins’ SUV killing the mother of two from Fort McMurray. Collision reconstructionists concluded the Mercedes was travelling at approximately 200 km/h with Lambert behind the wheel suffering a seizure when the accident occurred at an intersection near the local Walmart in Fort Saskatchewan. Lambert reportedly wants to change his
guilty plea on the basis of bad advice from his former lawyers. Initially the Bruderheim man was set to be sentenced on March 4, 2019 but issues with the pre-sentencing reports delayed the hearing until Sept. 13. On that date, only 15 minutes prior, Lambert fired lawyer Wayne Gardner, causing another delay. A second lawyer for Lambert later withdrew given “irreconcilable differences.”
After the second lawyer, court allowed Lambert to proceed selfrepresented. Lambert’s next court date is today (Wednesday), Jan. 22, where he may proceed with the application to strike the guilty plea. Queen’s Bench Justice James Neilson says if an application isn’t produced, he expects to proceed with sentencing.
