A NAFTA expert will be addressing the Heartland path of steady growth despite the economic downturn, but admitted the ongoing NAFTA talks could Association this week at its annual stakeholders impact the region in a media information session last event in Edmonton.

It is the custom in some regions of the Ukraine and Alberta, to bless water - a river, lake or well - in a ceremony that took place by a large ice cross, cut from the frozen surface of a lake or stream. After the parishioners took the water back to their home where the father of the family sprinkled it on his family, livestock and buildings with a prayer so God would keep them safe in the upcoming year. This was followed by the blessing of homes and the burning of Didukh. The Didukh is a sheaf of wheat brought into the house on Christmas Eve and then taken outside on January 19th laid in a cross and burnt releasing good spirits into the air. Visitors to the village and students from St Martins enjoyed the village, hay rides and lunch as well as jumping over the Didukh for good luck in the coming year.

Opinion Fighting against a history of violent extremists in Alberta On Sept. 30, 2017 Edmonton police Constable Mike Chernyk was working crowd control near Commonwealth Stadium during a Canadian Football League game between the home town Eskimos and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. It was an ordinary evening for the policeman until about 8:15 pm. At that moment Constable Chernyk was standing between his squad car and a barricade, when a driver purposely rammed his speeding car into the officer. The Constable was hit on the passenger side, flipping into the air over the vehicle and landing on the pavement to the right as the crazed driver continued colliding into Chernyk’s police car. Witnesses ran to help the officer but were pursued by the driver now on foot, who scared them off and began stabbing the officer as he fought for his life. Amazingly, Constable Chernyk wrestled with the terrorist, despite being badly injured and dazed only seconds after being hit by a speeding vehicle. Constable Chernyk had the strength to fight with his attacker for over a minute, until help came and the attacker fled the scene. The officer was rushed to hospital, where he was treated for his injuries including stab wounds to his face and hands. He was released the next day, and is making a full recovery. That evening a manhunt was on, and around midnight the Edmonton police pulled over a U-Haul truck driven by 30-year-old Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, who they identified as Chernyk’s suspected attacker. Sharif fled police, according to charges, and proceeded to purposely drive into four more pedestrians while a dozen police vehicles pursued him. He flipped the truck in the chase and was arrested and charged with multiple offenses including five counts of attempted murder (all victims lived). Just last week the federal government announced a $4 million funded program to identify radicalization, hoping to prevent young people (mostly) from being “brain-washed” into fulfilling the desires of violent extremist groups. Most of the money will go to Edmonton police to discourage radicalization, as well as to go toward a study by the Organization for the Prevention of Violence (OPV) to counter violent extremism. In the case of Sharif, who had an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant flag in his vehicle, this is being investigated as a terrorist attack. However, Alberta has had many cases in the past where other hate groups like white supremacists have preyed on the young to gain followers and membership. Both Edmonton police and the OPV say rightly, that no particular group will be targeted. Instead, the entire issue of intercepting groups which are attempting to warp young minds into believing their violent ideologies will be the goal. The OPV and police will need a great deal of help from teachers, parents, churches, and other community groups to make this program most effective. Let us pray that it works. Kerry Anderson

Gossip continues, police won’t release “altercation” details
New alert system operational by April JOHN MATHER A new alerting system is coming on steam this April, which will enhance warnings streamed from the Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NRCAER). “It’s a national warning system and all major carriers are participating in it,” said Brenda Gheran, executive director of NRCAER during a media session on Thursday, Jan. 18 in Fort Saskatchewan. “If you’re in an area where there is an emergency notification your phones should receive the alert.”
While not a NCAER initiative, Gheran stated that the organization fully supported the national program’s implementation. NRCAER started its community notification program in 2003 consisting of a toll-free 24hour update line and a subscription based Brenda mass notification tool. The update line provides information for residents who may be concerned about unusual noise or alarms, prolonged flares, odours, traffic levels,
training exercises, and/or incident information. Several municipalities including Lamont County have implemented an alert system where residents can be notified of any alerts. T h e y can be delivered as text messages too, Gheran to mobile devices and smartphones. Other methods of getting the message out is more traditional, by using local radio, TV, and traffic signs.
Two buildings to add to the Regional Fire Training Site MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Lamont County Regional Fire Training Site has secured two new buildings. The facility has been asking for change rooms and classroom space to be used for theoretical instruction and safety orientation. This will also allow the training centre to be fully utilized during all seasons. They originally
received one classroom from the Edmonton Catholic School Division at no cost. There is was an expected cost of approximately $11,000 dollars for the transfer of one building to the site and associated moving permits. They have now received two more classrooms for the cost of $14,000 dollars. The cost of moving the buildings will be covered

FROM WHERE I SIT Quit Complaining By Hazel Anaka Sometimes when I consider our lives as rural Alberta farmers, I get a touch bitter. There’s no one to blame, of course, because waaaay back in 1977 when we bought our first John Deere tractor, we made that initial commitment. No one had a gun to our heads when in 1984 we moved to the family homestead. Roy could have made another choice like his brother did. So, we went in eyes wide open. And, most days, it’s
been a good choice, a good life. It was a great way to raise kids. It provides space, privacy, freedom. It builds resilience and competence. It’s living the dream of owning a piece of land that so many people aspire to. However, it ain’t perfect. One only need think of the miles we make accessing everything from medical care to entertainment. If our farm was nearer a large centre like Camrose or Lloydminster, it might be less of a pain and an expense. But it isn’t so we drive. And drive. And drive. However, when you see how the other half lives, that isn’t perfect either. Just a stay of a
few days in an Edmonton hotel reminds me of what we have at home. I needed to attend a medical appointment. Got the car out of hotel parking and headed south from downtown. Cue the traffic, construction, barricades, merging lanes, one ways sloppy roads, and OMG time to get anywhere, even at midday. Because I’m anal, I allowed plenty of time and was early. Heaven help you if you’re chronically running late because late begets later. When I’m in the city for any length of time, I also schedule festival meetings with Edmonton contacts. If I can get people to come to my hotel, so much the
better. I absolutely hate, hate, hate to search for and pay for parking. That’s never an issue in Andrew or Lamont or Vegreville. This time someone joined me for a breakfast meeting. We passed on the cold buffet, the full hot breakfast smorg and instead ordered 2 poached eggs on toast. Blow me over to learn that each egg cost $4, side of toast was $4, and coffee was $4 for a total of $16.80. Just a few dollars less than the full buffet. I try not to begrudge anyone the right to earn a living and having been in business, I understand overhead and input costs and margins and markups, but oh, my. None of this is simple.
Reindeer Games teaches leadership at Lamont Elementary BY VIOLET STAHN AND ETHAN SVITICH On Wednesday, Dec. 20, Mrs. Marks and Mrs. Richert’s grade 6 students hosted the first ever “Reindeer Games” at Lamont Elementary School. All the games were Christmas variations on Minute to Win it Games, they included Snowball Fight, Wreath Toss, Christmas Cliffhanger, Nut Stacker and Jingle in the Trunk. The games were set up in different classrooms and the grade 1-5 students circulated through each classroom to participate. All the staff were impressed with how well the grade 6 students led the event. Mrs. Marks commented, “As leaders, they are learning valuable lessons about planning, organizing and running an event for their peers.” The grade 6 students wanted everyone to experience the Christmas spirit at school but you can try
these games at home too. Here are the instructions for some of the games. Wreath Toss Supplies - a wreath, plastic ornaments, a fairly large bowl and any even number of people to play. The object of the game is to hang the wreath and throw the plastic ornament through the wreath and try to land it in the bowl. The person who gets the most ornaments in the bowl, in a minute, wins the game. Christmas Cliffhanger Supplies - Table, 5-10 Christmas cards, a bucket. The object of the game is to blow the card across the table without it falling off the side of the table, in a minute. While you are blowing you are trying to aim for the bucket which is on the
floor at other side of the table. Jingle in the Trunk Supplies – empty tissue boxes, belts, 10 jingle
bells per tissue box Thread the belt through the bottom of the tissue box with the opening facing out, place the jingle bells in the box. The boxes get belted onto the players. The object of the game is to empty all the bells out of the box, in a minute, by jumping and dancing.
Nut Stacker Supplies – metal nuts, chopsticks or skewers. The object of the game is to stack as many nuts, side to side, as you can in one minute.
As personal development guru Jim Rohn used to say: it’s not that prices are too high, it’s that you can’t afford them. Those prices won’t faze those with lots of money or expense accounts but for the rest of us, yikes. So, maybe I’ve got it made: day-to-day life
down on the farm with the occasional foray into the big city. Neither setting is perfect but rather highlights the sharp contrast of the ups and downs of each. So, with that realization, maybe I’ll just quit complaining, from where I sit.

Missing Mundare woman now amoung suspected homicide victims - S/Sgt. confident members of public have information Investigators from the RCMP’s “K” Division Historical Homicide Unit (HHU) are continuing to push forward with three separate investigations, each involving a woman who initially had been reported missing in Alberta but believed by police to have been victims of homicide. The three cases, although not believed to be related, span a period of approximately 30 years; from 1983 to 2013. The victims in each case are women who vary in age from 16-years-old to 70 years-old and none of them have been found to date. All three cases remain unsolved, but it is the belief of S/Sgt. Jason Zazulak, who heads up the “K” Division HHU, as well as of the investigators who comprise the unit, that each case can and will be solved. The first case is that of Shelly Ann Bacsu who was 16 years of age when she was reported missing to Hinton RCMP on May 3, 1983 after she failed to return home from a friend’s residence in Hinton; a walk of seven kilometres which she had done many times before. Family members became concerned when Shelly Ann
did not arrive home by 9:30 that evening and when their own search failed to locate the teen by 11:30 p.m., they reported her missing to the RCMP detachment in Hinton. Extensive searches by the RCMP of the Town of Hinton and the surrounding rural area did not locate Shelly Ann but police did find several of her belongings alongside the Athabasca River near the Town of Hinton. Investigators believe that Shelly Ann was killed and continue to seek her remains. Stephanie Stewart (70) was working at the Athabasca Fire Lookout Tower near Hinton as an employee of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development in the summer of 2006. Colleagues became concerned about her wellbeing when she failed to call in on the morning of August 26, 2006. A visit to Stephanie’s cabin revealed that all was not well and the RCMP was called in to investigate. Evidence at the scene led investigators to believe that Stewart had been murdered. Searches throughout the surrounding area and elsewhere failed to locate her. It was on November
30, 2013 when 44-yearold Deanna MacNeil was reported missing to the Vegreville RCMP detachment by a friend after she had not been heard from within the preceding 48 hours; something which the friend thought very unusual as Deanna was in the habit of contacting her several times a day. The police investigation confirmed that Deanna had been seen in Mundare at the Servus Credit Union ATM, the Mundare Liquor Store and lastly at a friend’s place around 12:30 p.m. on the morning of November 28, 2013. Police conducted several searches including two extensive ones of the Mundare townsite, but Deanna was not located. Friends and family have not had any contact from Deanna since she was reported missing. The RCMP believes that she was the victim of homicide. S/Sgt. Jason Zazulak, “K” Division HHU believes that these investigations will be solved and that the key pieces of information which will allow HHU investigators to identify the persons responsible for the deaths of these women are known by members of the public. “In each of
these three cases, we know that there are people out there who have knowledge of what happened to Shelly Ann, Deanna and Stephanie. We want to hear from those people, whether it be through Crime Stoppers, through their local detachment or through our own social media channels.” The rapid expansion and adoption of social media in many facets of the lives of Canadians has opened up the opportunity for the RCMP to receive new information about cases through the use of social media accounts held directly by the homicide investigators themselves. Cpl. Kerry Shima of HHU is the lead investigator for Stephanie Stewart’s case. He has a Twitter account and will be tweeting about Stephanie’s case as well as topics related to unsolved homicides. The Twitter account is @KerryShima_RCMP. The RCMP encourages anyone with information about any of these cases to contact their local detachment or police agency. Individuals may guarantee their anonymity by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-

Portal air monitor could be deployed in Lamont County JOHN MATHER At a news briefing session of the Alberta Industrial Association last Thursday, Jan. 18, hosted in Fort Saskatchewan, Godfrey Huybregts, communications director of the partnership, said nine permanent air monitoring units were used throughout the region in 2017 and a new portable unit would come into play in 2018. The portable station will initially be employed in the Bon Accord area for six months, but moved round the region as a need is determined, according to Huybregts. “In terms of criteria used to decide where the portable goes, part of the consideration is if there is community interest or community issues,” Huybregts said. “It’s not just concerns about new industrial development which is not being covered by a station right now.” Currently there is a station located in Lamont County as a part of the Fort Air Partnership covering industrial activity near Lamont and another near Elk Island national park. The Air Partnership’s boundary runs right through the Chipman area. “Often times if you see extremes in air monitoring, it could be an inversion in the winter months,” said Huybregts. “Pollutants rising in the air not dissipating as quickly as they usually would and in the summer it’s usually smoke from distant forest fires.” But the county already has a very good air quality index.
Of the five monitoring units used in 2017, Lamont County was the highest quality of air compared with those in Bruderheim, Elk Island, Fort Saskatchewan and Gibbons. “Lamont County has a
CONSOLATION MEDAL
good quality of air which we monitor on a regular basis,” added Huybregts. The partnership monitors the air local residents breathe throughout the Heartland region.
With the cold weather and busses not running, the Junior B EIPS tournament went from a 2 day tournament to a 1 day. Andrew Wildcats Junior B boys team lost 1 game and won 2 on Saturday, Jan 13th. The boys and the coach were excited bringing home the consolation medal. Andrew School has 28 students in Junior High so some grade 5/6 students have the opportunity to play on the team. We are excited to have 2 junior high teams this year; Junior B boys team and Junior A girls team. Coach for the Junior A girls is Mr. L. Goudie. Miss K. Patmore is the coach for the Junior B Boys. assistant coach Kyle Hazlehurst

Austyne Morgan to play AAA hockey on Team Alberta
Bruderheim’s Austyne Morgan
7-year old elite KERRY ANDERSON Bruderheim’s Austyne Morgan, 7, was asked to try out for Team Alberta AAA Spring Hockey in the Serdachny Powerskating and Hockey program Saturday, and ended up making the team. Originally, one of the hockey program scouts saw his brother Declan play and wanted him until he found out the boy was too young. “I replied to his email and informed him that I had an older son who was born in 2011,” said mom Ashley. “I told him Austyne is suppose to be a third year Initiation but this year was bumped to play Novice hockey and is really excelling.” Austyne is second in team scoring with 9 GP 16g 4a 20pts, and tied for seventh in league scoring as an under-age player. After the tryout, the coach called Austyne’s mom and said he had made the team. “He said Austyne has total control on the ice and he was excited to have Austyne join the team,” said Ashley. Austyne slips on the Serdachny Team Alberta
jersey on Saturday and the season runs from April until mid-June.
PeeWee goalie Carver Johnson leads league with 2.33 GAA KERRY ANDERSON These are some of the results from the minor hockey league games held recently. (Please note that scores and scoring are taken from the websites, and some game scores and scoring is dependent on proper league entries. Deadline is typically Sunday evenings, so if scores are not noted they may have been entered after this time. http://nainterlock.com/). Lamont Tier 4 Atoms (3-4-3) skated to a 5-5 tie at Strathcona on Wednesday after a wild third frame. Down 2-1 heading into the final period, Lamont tied the game at 2-2 just nine seconds in, and took the lead at 4:35. Strathcona tied the game at 3-3 a couple of minutes later, and Lamont took the lead twice more with Strathcona tying the score right after. Alex Andruchow scored four goals, while Keelan Cartagena scored the other. Camryn Fossum
