Shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday, members of the Chipman Fire District were shovelling and sweeping debris from the wreckage of a fatal accident which occurred shortly after 5:30 a.m. at the intersection of Highway 16 and Secondary Highway 834. Michelle Pinon Editor
Fort Saskatchewan RCMP and members of the Chipman Fire District were on the scene of a fatal collision
early Sunday morning. According to RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Brown, “The collision occurred this morning, shortly after 5:30 am. At this point it is believed that a Black Dodge Ram was
travelling westbound on Highway 16 when an eastbound Silver Nissan Titan turned left (north) from Highway 16 onto Highway 834, causing the two trucks to collide.
The driver of the Nissan Titan, a 48 year old male, was located deceased at the scene. The other driver, a 49 year old male, was taken by ambulance to the hospital with serious
but non-life-threatening injuries. There were no passengers in either vehicle.” Cpl. Brown also stated that the collision is still under investigation, and it is unknown if alcohol
was a contributing factor. Out of respect for the family, the name of the deceased will not be released by police.
Lamont County suspends fire permits in the municipality Michelle Pinon Editor
With the lack of snow and relatively dry weather conditions Lamont County council has decided to suspend fire permits beginning today. The suspension was agreed to at the Feb. 14 regular meeting in order for fire departments to complete their hotspot checks before the start of the dry season. Chyenne Shaw, Administrative Assistant to Regional Fire Chief Dave Zayonce, says all brush and wood piles in the county are checked with thermal imaging cameras. Since last November, a total of 218 fire permits have been issued. Five permits were rejected, she added, because they are within the Skaro wildfire area, which poses the highest risk at the moment. Currently, there are 120 fire permits on a waiting list.
Both Zayonce, and officials with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, toured the Skaro area recently to get a first hand look at the damage and assess its current state. To date, a total of $1,431,943 million has been spent on the 2016 Skaro Wildfire. While the county has applied to the province for funding to offset those expenses, there is no guarantee if part or any of those expenses will be covered. Members of Lamont County’s Agricultural Service Board will be meeting Wednesday, March 1 to discuss fire permits and whether to allow or disallow farmers to burn crops in their fields. Nick Kuzyk, Fire Chief for Thorhild County, says they’ve always allowed stubble burning, and that burning of crops would fall under that category. While Thorhild County does not have a specific bylaw, he said they follow

The 2017 Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival was officially launched in Lamont the evening of Wednesday, February 22. Festival Co-ordinator Hazel Anaka was “pretty impressed” by the turn out of representatives from a variety of community groups, about 15 in total, who had gathered for the event which was held in the meeting room of the Lamont Recreation Centre. Mayor Bill Skinner, along with councillors Debra Dunsmore, Wayne Field, and Gail Hrehorets were also in attendance as representatives of the host community of the two day event that will be held August 26 and 27. Anaka told representatives they are open to
ideas, and encouraged them to talk to her or Lamont County Economic Development Manager Jim Newman after the presentation. Then Baba Magda, the ambassador of the festival, made her grand entrance with suitcase in hand. Anaka said Baba Magda is the face of the festival, and has done many things to promote the event. Baba Magda is a fixture in local parades throughout the summer, and has done numerous interviews and photo ops for the media, cooked borshch for a morning show, taught festival participants the perogy dance, and mixed and mingled with the large crowds, (average attendance of 2,000 people), since the festival began in 2013. “She reminds us that we’re doing something important and good, but to also
have fun.” Anaka expanded on the mandate and goals of the festival as well as highlight some of the past accomplishments and awards they have received over the past three years. “We have created positive exposure for the festival and community.” Moving the festival to Lamont, will also allow them to be a half an hour closer to its target market and have access to a community four times the size of its former host community of Andrew. Newman said the idea is to bring urban people out to Lamont County to celebrate Ukrainian heritage and have a great time no matter what they decide to take in. Some of the offerings include: Music Jam, Zabava, Babas Market, Borshch Cook-Off, and Kapusta demonstration, to name

There will also be opportunities for the community groups to get volunteers involved in the events, and raise some money for their organizations. “We will have different events that we can use help,” noted Newman. “We want the community to succeed as well.” Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus, who has organized the Music Jam since the festival’s inception, performed for attendees before a deli-
cious meal was served. Gargus said the festival is valuable for the community, and is good for everyone. He sees many opportunities both inside the community as well as outside the community as attendees travel from all over to be immersed in Ukrainian culture for one weekend in the summer. Not only do people come from this region, but various parts of the province as well as other provinces, to be a part of the fun filled atmosphere.

There were a bevy of outdoor and indoor games and activities during Family Day on Monday, February 20 in Bruderheim. Some of the fun-filled events included: ice sculptures, sleigh rides, skating, wiener and marshmallow roast, and hot chocolate to top things off. An estimated 200 people took in the fun-filled festivities on a balmy day thanks to the many volunteers and staff with the Parks and Culture Board and Town of Bruderheim employees.
Beverage container authorities shut down Andrew Bottle Depot Michelle Pinon Editor
The Andrew Bottle Depot has been officially shut down by Alberta’s Beverage Container Management Board (BCMB). Jeff Linton, President of the BCMB explained: “The BCMB has jurisdiction over the permits so was required to conduct its own investigation, and make a decision regarding the cancellation or suspension of the permit as a result of the violation.” The violation Linton is referring to is a previous ruling by Alberta Environment against the owners of the Alberta Reclaim and Recycling Company Inc. Back in August of 2016 the Environmental Appeals Board upheld an Administrative Penalty of $844,778 issued by Alberta Environment and Parks in February 2015 to the company, Mr. Jonny Ha and Mr. Shawn Diep for contravening the Beverage Container Recycling Regulation under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. At that time, a BCMB hearing panel ruled that the company had contravened the Beverage Container Recycling
Regulation, BCMB bylaws, permit conditions and a service agreement by engaging in a systematic effort to defraud the Alberta beverage container recycling system. It did so by transporting significant numbers of beverage containers into Alberta from outside of the province and introducing them into the system in order to obtain revenue to which it was not entitled. Under Alberta’s beverage container recycling system, Albertans pay a deposit when they purchase a beverage, and that deposit is refunded when the empty conainer is returned to a depot for recycling. It is illegal to import containers from outside the province for the purposes of obtaining a refund in Alberta. “From our perspective there was never a question as to who the operator of the depot was since no changes were applied for or requested.” As to an explanation as to why the owners were allowed to continue operating the bottle depot after the initial ruling was upheld was not made clear. However, Linton did say that new control measure were implemented in late 2015
to prevent this type and degree of fraud from continuing unchecked. “There is now an increased level of scrutiny on loads received into the system from a depot, and a higher level of accountability on the manufacturer’s agent to audit transactions from depots. We also have implemented a regular process of monitoring across the industry that includes fraud detection tools to analyze available data.” Linton said there is no evidence that Alberta Reclaim and Recycling Company Inc. continued to accept out of province containers after the initial ruling, (Feb. 2015) or after the appeal, (Aug. 2016) was upheld. Linton also pointed out that the only change at the Andrew Bottle Depot sometime between the rulings and when the manager was served legal notice of the closure on Saturday, February 18, was the change in management. “At no point had the key contact or phone number changed, and we were not aware of any changes.” Plans are currently underway to restore permanent beverage container recycling service to residents of Andrew.
In the interim, BCMB stated that containers can be returned to any bottle depots in the sur-
rounding area for a refund and recycling, including those in Mundare, Lamont,
Bruderheim, Two Hills or Smoky Lake.

Opinion Words become Deeds GoFundMe. It’s a popular website that allows individuals and organizations to raise money for emergency and medical fundraising. Since 2010, GoFundMe has raised more than $3 billion. The official site states that you can raise money quickly and easily, and takes less than 30 seconds to get started. I guess that shouldn’t surprise me as crowdfunding is the in thing. In fact, there have been a couple of instances recently where GoFundMe played an important and interesting role in the lives of two Albertans, one of them is Heather Vanderzee of Lamont, and the other is William Yarmovich of Ryley. Vanderzee, a staff worker at the Elk Island Youth Ranch was viciously beaten in a brutal attack on the job. Yarmovich is an 86-year-old senior citizen, who sold his house to pay for outstanding painting and landscaping bills. Maurice Lafontaine sponsored Vanderzee’s GoFundMe Page after hearing about the attack on the news. He worked with Heather for roughly five years at the ranch, and said he wanted to do something in order to help her. “I came up with the idea for the GoFundMe page while surfing all the negativity that the public was casting on the situation, and I wanted to see some positivity for Heather. Bantering on Facebook does nothing to better the situation. This GoFundMe page is a positive that will, in the long run, help Heather.” His original goal was $1,000; but he raised it to $10,000 after her story aired on the CTV Edmonton news. To date, a total of $9,330 has been raised by 127 donors. Jason Kenney, started the GoFundMe page for William Yarmovich, to help cover $4,000 worth of charges billed to him for the painting of his house and mowing of his lawn by the Village of Ryley, as well as the cost of the paint, realtor fees to sell his home and the moving expenses he incurs as he moves to a new home. The GoFundMe page also stated: “If you think that an 86-year-old Alberta pensioner who has spent his lifetime working hard and paying his taxes deserves to be treated better, I hope you’ll join me in contributing to this campaign. We’ve spoken with Mr. Yarmovich and he is aware of our campaign to raise funds to support him. Help spread the work!” Folks had no problem spreading the word or supporting his cause, raising a total of $5,005 in four days. Kenney himself pledged to donate $250 for Mr. Yarmovich. In this ever changing fast paced world it’s good to know there are still people out there who not only want to help, but go out of their way make things happen. These two people are both examples of words becoming deeds. Michelle Pinon
Letter to the Editor Chipman Players provide perfect night out for Edmonton couple Dear Carol, Thank you so much for a fantastic evening provided by the Chipman Players. Jo-Anne and I were lucky enough to be invited to the performance of “Males Order Brides” on March 5, 2016. We haven’t laughed so much and had so much fun on a night out in quite some time. We left the hall wanting more, and were sad that it was over. We have attended our
share of dinner theatre, but have never been so well entertained as we were on Saturday night. Everything about the evening was perfect. Supper was, as usual, fantastic. The performance itself was excellent from the casting, (who would not imagine Bruce MacGregor as a schiester lawyer, or Tom Hrehorets as a bartender), to costumes and make-up to sound and lighting and yes even
wrong-way June added to the mood of the evening. I was most impressed by the actual acting that we saw that night. Performing in public was always something I was not comfortable with, so I am very proud of the way you all did your parts. We were all amazed at how much you had to memorize, and how well the dialogue came together. Adding the appropriate
accents was great, especially on Keiron’s part where she had five different accents to perfect. Bravo to all. I mentioned to you that I would like to be notified of your next performance, as I plan to make every effort to attend again. We look forward to hearing from you and to watching the Chipman Players in action once again. Most sincerely yours, Ron Guglich

From Where I Sit: A Mistake
By Hazel Anaka Several years ago I took funeral celebrant training from American Doug Manning and his daughter Glenda. It didn’t seem that big a stretch from my work as a marriage commissioner. For more than twelve years I’ve officiated civil, nondenominational marriage ceremonies. That meant fulfilling a need and providing a service for couples, who for whatever reason, opted out of a traditional religious wedding. It doesn’t take much digging to learn that traditional church funerals aren’t meeting the needs of a significant number of families. Obituary after obituary announce that, based on the wishes of the deceased, a celebration of life is being held. That’s where someone like me comes into the picture. To make it happen. It hasn’t been easy breaking into the market smack dab in the middle of church country but through funeral directors I get the odd referral. What sets celebrants apart from most clergy is our willingness to centre the service on the
deceased as opposed to scripture and church traditions. I remember once actually timing how long it took for a priest to mention the deceased person’s name—-about forty minutes. With fewer faithful churchgoers, the priest often doesn’t know the person in the casket. The family is simply coming back to the church for the final goodbye. Often it seems as though it’s a matter of insert name here in the template, sing this hymn there, repeat. In some churches, the family can’t deliver a eulogy unless they do it at the dinner following the burial. That is not criticism of the church or its practices. But it does go a long way to explaining why families seek alternatives. A while back I spent a couple of hours with a grieving family. I got to see them cry and hear them laugh as we talked about how best to honour this husband, father, grandfather. I went home to think, look for appropriate quotes, think some more. I pondered how to structure the program to allow for family involvement, to keep things flowing, to humanize and customize the ceremony, and to give this man his due. This work tests my ability to empathize, to listen, to get to the essence so I can write, to organize, to speak in public, to show respect and compassion, and to bring comfort. It gives

me the privilege of helping a family at a time of profound need. And I am grateful for the chance to do it. What I find disturbing is the growing number of people who choose to do nothing to mark the death of a loved one. It may be a financial decision. It may be cynicism or a lack of belief. I hope they are at least, doing something privately. There is no escaping, avoiding, or delaying grief. A formal ‘something’ whether religious or not is a vital part of the grief process. To try to skip that step is a mistake, from where I sit.

Lamont seniors lodge back ally construction creates traffic concerns for residents Michelle Pinon Editor
Drainage concerns by a handful of residents whose property backs onto the lane of the new senior citizen’s lodge in Lamont, which is currently under construction, were recently brought to the attention of town council. Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer told council at its February 14 meeting that a letter had been received, and that the town’s engineer had looked into the matter. The town also put down a load of gravel onto the back lane to improve the situation. Maschmeyer said residents have also been assured that the lane will be restored to its previous condition after construction has been completed later this summer or early fall. Mayor Bill Skinner said, “The lane will be restored to its previous condition and that should alleviate their concerns.” He also said he thought the engineer had responded to their concerns which were outlined in a letter that was submitted to Maschmeyer and town council on February 2 by residents Wally Iwankow, Corey Schneider, Kris Kelso, Peter Robertson and Natalia Malica. In that letter, the resi-
dents requested: *Town and contractor be given an understanding of residents’ concerns. *Meeting with concerned residents to ensure opportunity for first hand input from residents living the experience and town/contractor to assimilate and respond. *Assurance that concerns will be resolved prior to completion of the project. The letter to the town and council also asked what provision has been made for storm sewers to carry excess water from
affected area to town main lines? That particular question was not directly discussed or addressed during the meeting. Residents also asked that the lane’s functionality be restored with gravel topping and packing, and that it be lower than the residential properties backing onto the lane. Council directed Maschmeyer to send a letter out to the residents stating their concerns had been addressed and that the lane would be restored to its previous condition.

Loaded sawed-off rifle, ammunition, explosives seized Vegreville, AB – On February 23, at approximately 5:30 p.m., during the course of an investigation, the RCMP Vegreville Detachment members located a male who was believed to be in the possession of a prohibited firearm and ammunition. The 27 year old male was detained, and a search of his person resulted in police seizing a loaded, sawed-off .22 calibre rifle being hidden in his backpack, along with over 350 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition. At the same time, what were believed to be homemade explosive devices were found in
the same backpack. In consultation with the RCMP’s Explosives Disposal Unit, it appears that these two homemade improvised explosive devices could cause severe injury or death to a person. Due to the high risk nature of homemade or improvised explosive devices, the Explosives Disposal Unit attended the Vegreville detachment to take custody of the explosive devices for further analysis. Alexander Bugghins, 27 years of age, of Vegreville, has been charged with the following: Possession of an
Improvised Explosive Device Likely to Cause Harm or Death, S. 81(1) of the Criminal Code, • Possession of explosives for an unlawful purpose, S. 82(1) Criminal Code, • Careless use of a firearm, S. 86(1) Criminal Code, • Possession of a prohibited weapon for a dangerous purpose, S. 88(1) Criminal Code, • Unauthorized Possession of a Prohibited Weapon, S. 92(2) Criminal Code, • Possession of a Prohibited Firearm in an unauthorized place, S. 93(1) Criminal Code, • Possession of a
Prohibited Firearm with Ammunition, S. 95(1), Criminal Code, • Possession of a Firearm or Ammunition contrary to Prohibition Order, S.
117.01(1) Criminal Code (3 counts). Bugghins remains in custody, and is due to make his first appearance in Vegreville

Internationally acclaimed speaker hosts workshops at Lamont High School Michelle Pinon Editor
Dwayne Peace didn’t even have time to finish his sandwich between presentations at Lamont High School on Wednesday afternoon before he was being called into action once again. But the former Calgary Police Officer turned Facilitator with Life Synergy is able to handle pretty much whatever he is faced with, and he is teaching youth to do the same Peace, along with other members of the organization, offer programs for youth, parents and staff. His message causes his audiences to think about the power of their words and actions. Much of his work has been in a proactive role with students, assisting in making smart choices in their lives through the use of his many presentations. Social responsibility is something that students need to be aware of on a daily basis for a life time. The presentations and workshops he performs go underneath the surface to deal with the realiity of what is going on in today’s school environment and the family dynamics that play a role in students’ lives. Peace, who also served
in the capacity of School Resource Officer (SRO) with the police service for seven years, helps students identify and deal with issues such as: bullying, body image, suicide, rumours, gossip, drama, texting, sexting the dangers of drinking, drugs, tobacco and much more. “The goal is to work with schools before an unfortunate incident occurs, however, this program has been very effective both during an event and post-crisis,” he adds. He touched on the dangers of drugs, and in particular, “With the emergence of Fentanyl over the last few years, and all of the deaths associated with it, (343 in Alberta in 2016), a person has to be crazy to remain involved with drugs as you never know what it is that you are getting. This is 40 times more toxic (not more powerful) than heroin, and 100 times more toxic than morphine. The equivalent of two grains of salt is enough to kill a person in 15 minutes. One pound is enough to kill 200,000 people.” He went on to say, “It is strongly suggested that when dealing with this drug you need to have gloves and a mask because it is dangerous if it
becomes airborne. Naloxone kits do not reverse death or organ damage. They provide a window of time to get a person to a medical facility where professionals are able to hopefully save that person.” Peace also informed the students about marihuana and its levels of THC, which has MICHELLE PINON PHOTO increased from 0.5- Guestspeaker Dwayne Peace, middle, poses with Lamont 0.8 per cent in the High School counsellor Dianna Graziano, left, and math 60’s and ’70’s to teacher Allan Hope between presentations on between five and 49 Wednesday, February 22. per cent presently.

Michelle Pinon Editor For the first time in Lamont High School (LHS) history the athletics department hosted zones in conjunction with the Lamont Curling Club on February 21 and 22. A total of 23 teams, representing 13 schools in the northeast zone went head to head in the jam packed two day competition. Coach and LHS Athletics Director Cory Kokotailo stated: “It was a great display of how far the program has come back in the last two years. Hosting zones helped give exposure to high school curling to our town and our school, and has built enthusiasm going forward.� Kokotailo thanked volunteers Rob and Katie Fossum who acted as the rules official and head organizer for the event. He also wanted to thank Elmer Pullishy and Cheryl Moser for the outstanding job they did maintaining the ice for the curlers, and curling club executive members for all of their support over the course of curling season. The boys put in several strong performances throughout zones, and were definitely on their game for this 117 victory over Two Hills Wednesday morning. Here Landon Zabel, left, keeps and eye on his shot while Carson Schickerowsky, Zach Akitt, and Nick Zachoda sweep his rock over the hog line.

Parking along Secondary Highway 831 cause for concern at Lamont town council meeting Michelle Pinon Editor No parking signs were recently installed along Secondary Highway 831 between Lamont Elementary and Lamont High Schools. Those no parking signs were also discussed during the Feb. 14 meeting of Lamont town council. Chief Administrative Officer Sandi Maschmeyer told members of council that Carillion, (which maintains highways in the area), recently installed the signs. As well, the curb along the east and west sides of Secondary Highway 831 are also painted yellow indicating there is no parking in that location. Despite the painted curbs, and the no parking signs, people are continuing to park vehicles in the restricted area, said Maschmeyer, which creates conjestion and impedes the flow of traffic, which includes plenty of large and heavy truck traffic throughout the day as well as the evening.
Maschmeyer said there was a recent road rage incident during a basketball tournament, and complaints have been received to the town. She added that she has also been in contact with Lamont County Peace Officer Steve Crosby and the Sheriffs department out of Sherwood Park to request enforcement. Mayor Bill Skinner said that “Until there is
enforcement, it (the situation) probably won’t improve.” The town is also looking into the possibility of purchasing a couple of portable and temporary speed bumps to slow down traffic in a number of different locations. Utilizing temporary speed signs was also recommended.
Winner of the 2016 Baby Contest (chosen by random draw) is Jake Finley Musch, born April 10, 2016 to Ryan and Emma Musch.
