Province responds to Elk Island Youth Ranch incident Michelle Pinon Editor While the ministry of children’s services and labour continue to investigate a physical attack to a staff worker at the Elk Island Youth Ranch, the facility continues to operate on a conditional status.

Bill Skinner, Mayor of the Town of Lamont, says everyone is shocked by the extreme violence that was used in the attack. “We’ve never seen anything on this level.”

Skinner who knows the staff worker said a lot of people are expressing their sympathy, including Maurice Lafontaine

who has gone one step further and started a GOFUNDME page on Facebook to help offset medical expenses involved with the employee’s recovery.

Skinner said the worker will have to have reconstructive surgery, and faces a long road ahead in terms of healing physically, emotionally and mentally from the attack. “They will likely be in hospital for a couple of months.” He believes the two youth accused of several counts, including attempted murder, are “certainly an exception” to the norm, and that there have not been any

incidents of this kind or magnitude at the ranch before.

Skinner said there are a broad range of children who end up in facilities like the Elk Island Youth Ranch for a lot of different reasons, and perhaps in this rare instance the two accused youth needed a different level of care. He said the facility is self contained, and youth attend school on site.

“I am happy to see interim funding for night-time staff,” added Skinner. He said the facility will be under much closer scrutiny as a result. The Children’s Service Mininstry placed

a conditional status on the licence of the facility earlier in the week.

According to a department spokesman said it will have an expanded role in staff ratios, and the facility would not be taking additional placements right now. As well, the department said it would be involved in much closer consultation with the facility and some of the day to day decisions.

On Feb. 8 the youth appeared in Provincial Court in Fort Saskatchewan.“This investigation is now before the courts and no further updates will be provided by the RCMP.”

While there have been no reports or sighting of combines in the fields in Lamont County, there was some activity in the Thorhild area on Friday, February 10.

As far as discussion, Lamont County council has not declared an agricultural disaster, and is hoping to provide producers with up to date assistance related information with a town hall meeting in the near future.

Chipman ready to join regional fire service Michelle Pinon Editor Both sides are hailing the impending signing of a new fire services agreement between the Village of Chipman and Lamont County as a “win-win” for both sides.

Mayor Jim Palmer and Reeve Wayne Woldanski both described the upcoming deal as a good deal for both parties as it will offer continuity in training, and provide the last missing link in the chain to fully complete regionalization of fire services throughout area.

Woldanski said the arrangement will provide the village with new equipment, and will save them money. In return, the rural fire department, which was operating out of the county’s grader shop near the village, is relocating its equipment and personnel to the village’s fire hall.

Palmer said the management and thinking of the county with the addition of Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Robyn Singleton and Regional Fire Chief Dave Zayonce had changed, and both he and members of village council were willing to revisit the situation. The village opted out of its fire services agreement with the county

deciding to establish its village fire department.

Last fall, Palmer said CAO Singleton approached him to see if he was open to talking about fire services. A letter dated Nov. 9, 2016 proposed a meeting to regionalize emergency services within the county, and village council discussed the regionalization and agreed to attend any meetings to that effect.

Then in early January a meeting was held between the village council and the fire department to discuss the proposition. Another meeting was held between elected officials and administration with village and county on Jan. 17.

A week later, (Jan. 24) officials met again with members of both fire departments to go over details and answer any questions. Members of village council were present at that meeting, and passed a resolution to join the county’s regional fire department.

Now, all that remains is the acceptance of the resolution, which is expected to go before council today, (Feb. 14). Then a formal agreement will be signed by both parties.

Under the proposed agreement, the village will retain ownership of the fire

hall, and pay for insurance, utilities, and maintenance of the building. The county provide and pay for all the training, honorariums, services, supplies, and equipment for firefighters.

“From my perspective, it’s all about saving money and this will do that,” said Palmer. This year alone, even though the village will be re-roofing and residing the fire hall, he expects a cost savings of $30,000. On average, Palmer said the village was spending between $60,000 and $75,000 a year for fire services and associated costs, and that amount should drop down to a fraction of the cost.

Last year the village spent around $55,000 for the new addition to the fire hall, installed an indoor truck fill, and replaced the furnace and sump pumps.

As well, a fire hydrant was installed by the booster station north of the railway tracks so firefighters could access water to cover that portion of the village and surrounding area.

Singleton said the upside of the agreement is there will be more firefighters from the area on call. As well, there will be a standardization of practices. “From a residents’ perspective the transistion should be seamless.”

Now, all that remains is the accept-

ance of the resolution, which is expected to go before council today, (Feb. 14).

Then a formal agreement will be signed by both parties.

The village chose to opt out of its fire services agreement with the county more than two years ago after negotiations had stalled. Palmer said the village had attempted to renew its agreement, but when talks failed, the village decided to move forward with its own plans. At that time the village had projected major cost savings to its residents.

Village of Andrew grows 12.1 per cent in population according to recently released Census numbers Michelle Pinon Editor The 2016 Census results are in, and the Village of Andrew couldn’t be happier.

Mayor Heather Tait said the results actually speak volume for Andrew that has grown substantially in the past four years. The jump in population from 379 to 425 exceeded expectations. “I think we have done extraordinarily well.”

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Pat Skoreyko said it was a “big win” for the community.

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood agreed the population increase is substantial and congratulated representatives during the February 8 regular monthly council

meeting. CAO Skoreyko also pointed out the Village of Andrew was in the top 15 of 92 communities in the province regarding population growth.

Littlewood also discussed a range of other topics which included: climate leadership, health services, seniors transportation and affordable housing, grant funding, linear assessment.

Littlewood told council the province is continuing to work on its Climate Leadership Plan and opportunities for schools and municipalities to get involved. She acknowledged there is a back log, but there is an injection of funding forthcoming to address the affordable housing.

Alberta Health Services will also be assessing

health needs in the region, and said she would pass along contact information to them. As well, the province is developing a toolkit for medically at-risk drivers, and said there were opportunities for municipalities to get involved in the pilot project. She added that significant funds will be funnelled into urban, rural and regional transit over the next five years.

While 2017-’18 is the last budget cycle for the Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI), Littlewood said the Premier and Finance Minister were aware of that, and that there would be sustainable funding going forward, and they would be consulting with Municipal Affairs Minister Shaye Anderson.

Littlewood asked if council knew what the impact of the carbon levy be on the community.

CAO Skoreyko said it is difficult to say at this point, but would let her know once they gather estimates on usage of fuel. Tait said people are also concerned with the additional costs for natural gas and electricity rates as of late.

Mayor Tait said they are extremely concerned as the housing foundation continues to struggle with deficits, and expressed her desire to have changes that were proposed during the recent open house implemented in the near future. “I’m looking forward to what the future implements will be,” added Tait. Board members of the housing foundation will be meeting to

discuss options with the consultants on Wednesday, February 15.

Coun. Eldon Feniak asked if the province will reinstate the tax in lieu of grants. “We are losing $10,000. That’s quite a bit for a small village.”

Littlewood said she has also advocated for the return of that program, but has not been successful, but agreed to communicate the request to the minister. He also pointed out the village has taken a significant hit in linear assessment, 4.4 per cent, to be exact, and they just can’t afford it.

Tait inquired about the possibility of getting more medical services for people in and around the Andrew area, and Littlewood said she would gather some information regarding the new Kalyna Primary Care Network, and pass it along to her. Feniak asked about 24 hour emergency service in Lamont, and said it would be of great benefit to people in the area.

Littlewood recommended council to pass a letter of request, and send it directly to the health minister.

Opinion Tragedy in life and death This past week was filled with pain and sorrow as community members mourn the loss of Lamont Fire Department Deputy Chief Greg Dallman who passed away suddenly at the age of 59. It was also filled with shock and upheaval in the lives of residents and employees of the Elk Island Youth Ranch following a serious attack on one of its staff workers.

While these two tragedies are totally unrelated, they are connected in the sense that both have caused suffering and heartbreak as well as anguish and upset for Greg Dallman family members and friends who have been forced to deal with the pain and anguish associated with each event.

Greg served as a firefighter with the department for more than 30 years, and put his own life on the line many times to serve the community, and I am sure there were many sacrifices seen and unseen that were made by him and his family.

The female staff worker, who sustained serious physical injuries during the attack on Feb. 5, is in stable condition in hospital, but the traumatic incident has left physical and emotional scars for her and her family as well as any other staff, and youth who may have seen or heard what happened that night.

Also consider the strain the tragic incident has placed on the organization and how it is being investigated by the provincial government. That, coupled with the media spotlight on employees and administrative staff of the facility as well as this community is a lot to carry all at once.

Some people may be left with the impression that safety was compromised or people placed at undue risk. The view from people within and outside of the community can be filled with hate or love, judgement or empathy, concern or disregard.

A person’s attitude and actions speak volumes. I am sure there are many more stories of success than failure that have been a result of the compassionate care and treatment program at the ranch, but the only story being told is the one of condemnation and vilification for the youth who made a tragic mistake, and one that will haunt them for years to come.

If the Elk Island Youth Ranch did not exist then the opportunities for learning and development of these youth would not happen. Where would they be, and what would be happening in their lives that had been filled with physical and mental abuse. More of the same. In order to break the cycle of abuse there has to be people and supports in place to do that. Wishing this never happened or failing to understand the underlying issues would be a much greater tragedy.

From Where I Sit: Cause and Effect

By Hazel Anaka We all know about the principle of cause and effect. Do this and that will result. Here’s a real world example from last October.

Monday evening I see Liane Faulder’s nearly full-page interview with Neil Pasricha in the Edmonton Journal. He is the New York Times best selling author of The Book of Awesome and its sequels and spin-offs.

The interview is a teaser for his talk the next night as the headliner of LitFest. It also plugs his latest book, The Happiness Equation.

I text Hilary wondering if she has a connection to free tickets. She doesn’t. But she’d be

happy to go with me. I say buy tickets.

We gobble down takeout Chopped Leaf salads before heading downtown to the Winspear.

Get an awesome parking spot in the library parkade, cut through the Citadel, and we’re there.

Take our main floor aisle seats and chat it up with the couple next to us.

Neil Pasricha, who has done TedTalks and spoken around the world is good: the right mix of humour, useable content, self-deprecation, storytelling, and timing….bada bing. We are awed by his incredible success. But, we’re quickly disabused of the idea that success and happiness are the same thing. This disconnect in his life led him to review 300 studies of happiness.

This book, the result of that research, was also a gift to his then unborn son. He spoke for an hour, then took questions. Hilary took notes on her phone.

The applause was still dying down as we

peeled out of there and headed to the lobby. I held a spot in the autograph seekers line while Hilary tore over to the book buying line; a strategy she learned at a David Sedaris event that didn’t go as well.

Volunteers wrote our name on a tiny sticky if we wanted an inscription. Another volunteer made sure it was stuck on the title page. The same volunteer wondered if we had a phone cued up for a photo.

We were very close to the front of the line. I was surprised and miffed at how long each person was taking.

Don’t these people know he’s a busy guy? Our turn arrives. We hand over our books. He asks Hilary why she came.

My mom told me about it. Why did I come, he asks me. The Journal story and the synchronicity with other things I’m focusing on in my life right now. I loved your talk, I say.

Hilary just got me into podcasts and you men-

tioned podcasts, so which ones do you listen to? Oh, which ones do you listen to? Ahh, Soul Feed, Beautiful Writers, Hay House. I haven’t heard of those; let me write it down he says.

Here’s the one I like, The Good Life Project, he says as he writes it down for me. Hilary says you remind me of Jerry Seinfeld. It’s not the first time he’s heard that.

Why do you think so?

Your mannerisms, some of the expressions you use.

A real guy acting real.

Not going through the motions; not just tolerating the very people who enable his success as an author and a speaker but engaging in a two-way conversation. Gotta say I’m impressed.

To recap: see an intriguing call to action Monday; find a willing, like-minded companion; expend time and money on Tuesday; enjoy the gift and the memory of the event forever. Pure cause and effect, from where I sit.

Bud and Dorothy met in a church choir in North Battleford, SK and were married on August 2, 1956. They moved to Lamont, AB on Oct 1, 1958 where Bud subsequently became Lamont’s longest serving and practicing pharmacist both within the Lamont Health Care facility and as the owner of the local Rexall Drugstore, retiring in 1986.

Bud had a great passion for dogs, and travelled the world as one of a few pioneering, internationally certified Canadian dog show judges. He served as the Alberta director of the Canadian Kennel Club

for 25 years, and was highly respected throughout the dog community in Canada and globally for his commitment and contributions to the dog community, especially towards the development of the Canadian dog show-judging program.

GrainsConnect Canada announces plan to construct $30 million grain handling facility near Vegreville Michelle Pinon Editor

A new $30 million grain handling facility is being proposed for the Vegreville area.

GrainsConnect Canada President Warren Stow made the announcement official on Thursday, February 2.

The state-of-the-art 35,000 tonne grain terminal will be located on a 180 acre site one mile east of the community in the County of Minburn.

“It’s really an exciting time for us, and we’re looking forward to being a part of the community,” said Stow. Similar to the company’s terminals in Maymont, and Municipality of Reford in Saskatchewan, the Vegreville terminal will also have the ability to load 130 rail cars in under 14 hours increasing efficiency and reliability to growers in the area.

“This is the first site to be developed in Alberta and will bring a competitive edge to the regions’ growers. Growers will have more choice and access to one of the most efficient supply chains to the West Coast.”

He went on to say, “As we have seen at the Saskatchewan sites, at least 50 This is the first site to be jobs will be created during developed in Alberta and construction as will bring a competitive well as 12-15 edge to the regions’ growfull-time jobs ers. - Stow once completed.”

Once regulatory approval GrainsConnect Canada by the federal President Warren Stow government has been secured, then Stow said they will be able to proceed with subdivision approval at the local level.

He add that they had been looking for a suitable site for the past six months, and that this area “fit the bill” as it had ideal access to road and rail as well as indicators this area was a good grain producing area.

Once regulatory approval has SUBMITTED PHOTOS been secured, This is the photo of GrainsConnect Canadaʼs Maymont grain construction is handling facility which is expected to be in operation by the end expected to of 2017. commence mid-

Carbon tax to generate hefty increases to Lamont County Michelle Pinon Editor

The carbon tax was one of four topics members of Lamont County council and administration discussed with Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood during a special meeting on Feb. 7.

In terms of implications, based on the 2017 interim budget, additional expenditures due to the carbon levy would be $73,717. Fuel would cost $49,801; Contract Gravel Haulers (fuel in rate) $14,520; and Natural Gas would cost $9,396. In comparison, based on actual 2016 expenditures Fuel cost $28,168; Contract Gravel Haulers (fuel in rate) $12,605; and Natural Gas cost $4,792 for a grand total of $45,565.

Chief Administrative Officer Robyn Singleton pointed out that the projections do not include any indirect costs. As far as municipalities being given an exemption on the carbon tax, Littlewood said the exemption would not happen, and the only exemption would be on farm fuel. As far as a rebate, Littlewood said that would be a separate subject because the government has already implemented cost savings.

Littlewood suggested the municipality could put the levy to use by drawing down energy and fuel usage or by installing energy efficient windows and solar panels. She also pointed out the province recently changed regulations around usage and consumption, now allowing residents to sell back to the grid. Singleton said that from the municipality’s perspective, it would have to invest money to save money, and that would depend if you had the money to invest to begin with, and how long it would take to see a return on investment.

Coun. Roy Anaka also pointed out the additional costs of natural gas and electricity for the housing foundation, which operates seniors housing facilities in the county had not been taken into consideration in the projections. “Municipalities have to kick in the difference, and every step of the way costs have increased.” Littlewood said that if there were funding issues or discrepancies the municipality should talk to the funding providers.

The question of 24 hour emergency care at the Lamont Health Care Centre was also raised, and Littlewood recommended council write a letter to the health minister and advocate for increased coverage.

As far as the budget, Littlewood said details would be rolled out in March.

Deputy Reeve Dan Warawa told Littlewood, “The poor little taxpayer will have to take the brunt of it because they can’t deduct anything.” She responded by saying that taxpayers can apply for home efficiency credits. “We’re (Alberta) the last province to have an energy efficiency agency.” Any revenues generated from the carbon levy would be reinvested into a special fund as opposed to general revenues. As well, the province will be helping drive innovation and industry by investing in efficiences. One example was Shell’s carbon capture underground storage project. Coun. Roy Bryks said instead of putting a tax on carbon, the province should use the funds to lower emissions from the companies and have them pay for it.

Public Works Director Harold Hamilton said the municipality is looking after roads that belong to the crown, and are having to pay additional funds because of the carbon tax on marked fuel. “These are direct costs….That hits me hard.” Then it becomes a question of safety, which is impacted as well as risk management, and that council will have to make a decision on those factors and levels of service in the near future. “It’s hard for municipalities to react to these changes,” noted Singleton, who asked Littlewood to take that information back to her counterparts in caucus.

Another one of the obvious issues is funding to municipalities and changes to linear assessment.

“MSI (Municipal Sustainability Initiative) grant is very much on my radar and the minister’s radar,” said Littlewood. “MSI is good till 2018, and they (Municipal Affairs) are working on a sustainable plan.” Littlewood said the province allots the highest percentage of funding to municipalities.

Singleton said that was true.

The power of friendship is what brought Lamont High School (LHS) Grade 12 students Tanner Kennedy, Jordan Stodola and Shaun Dreaper together, and it’s what spurred them on to compete in the unique culinary competition at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology’s kitchen on Saturday, February 4.

Love of national past-time continues to flourish New addition to Team Bruderheim lineup with Sure Shot Dombrowski Michelle Pinon Editor

The recent addition of Sure Shot Dombroski to the Town of Bruderheim’s team is expected to not only enhance the profile of the team, but bolster confidence, and increase the number of players on the roster.

Tim McKort, the brainchild behind the movie and director of the upcoming sequel, is excited to be coming on board, and is already keeping his eyes and ears open to recruit local male and female hockey players between 14 and 16 years of age as well as cast extras for his film that will be shot in Fort Saskatchewan and Bruderheim in the coming months.

McKort is also to recruit local sponsorship from companies who would like to advertise their brand on rink boards. McKort said he is very impressed with the reception and enthusiasm by council members and administrators with the City of Fort Saskatchewan and the Town of Bruderheim, who have embraced the Edmonton filmmaker and his upcoming project.

Even though McKort, who owns Western Directives, is a small independent producer, he has found international success with the Sure Shot Dombroski franchise, and has reached out to a larger global audience which has received the concept and theme of the movie and embraced it wholeheartedly. “It’s a very family friendly movie with encouraging messages.”

There will be a mixture of genders and will reflect on the values of this country, our culture, welcoming nature, acceptance of people from all over the world, and the sport which continues to shape and influence Canada and its residents.

“Literally thousands have seen my movies over the last 11 years. We have had national Pay TV licenses

through Superchannel Pay TV, U.S. digital services Vudu and Hulu carried the first two movies. ITunes has the first four movies (Sure Shot 1 - 4) the Adult version of the series. We have literally sold thousands of DVDs and continue to do so through Amazon. We have sold DVDs across Canada and across the U.S. and into the U.K. We have played 10 international film festivals in Canada and the U.S. We received the prestigious CTV Fellowship Award at the Banff International Film Festival (for our first movie “Sure Shot Dombrowski” in 2008. “Sure Shot

Dombrowski: The Early Years” will be available next week to the U.S. market and we have presold its rights to China.

Shooting the last movie in Beaumont with all the kids was fantastic, shooting at Rexall (former home of the Oilers) for our first two movies. Shooting a major scene (tracking shot) with one of our actors skating down one of the main roads in Mundare following a moving truck...with her throwing hockey pucks at the truck...hilarious.”

Producer Tim McKort recently signed an agreement with Town of Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny for use of the Karol Maschmeyer Arena for filming segments for his upcoming sequel of the family friendly movie Sure Shot Dombrowski. Town council agreed to waive the ice rental fees for two days in exchange for advertising the town on rink boards which members felt was a good way of advertising the town to a broader audience.

NEWSPAPERS THAT’S AMAZING! HERE’S HOW: You mean

are still outperforming other media?

• Readers spend more time with print advertising than they do with electronic advertising. Newspapers are tangible.

Newspapers can be saved and scrapbooked.

• Newspapers close the sale of products.

Other mediums are better at driving high volume response, but the close rate on newspapers is higher because of a better educated (about the product) buyer informed through newspaper ads.

• In a Canada-wide survey in 2015, newspapers were the number one media, as chosen by vehicle buyers, for finding information which closed the purchase of cars, trucks, SUVs and all motor vehicles.

CLOSE RATES: According to Media Bids, Newspapers are still outperforming the following media by: • 40% - higher than internet • 30% - higher than radio • 22% - higher than TV

PROPER USEAGE: NEWSPAPERS If you have used

for years,

have you been advertising correctly?

One reason you may not have been, is that most newspaper customers have such faith in the historic reliability of newspapes that they only put their ad in once.

NOBODY WOULD EVER BUY JUST 1 RADIO, TELEVISION, OR INTERNET AD! • Media Bids statistics show that although results from newspapers can be expected to be good, the key to a successful advertising campaign is:

MULTIPLE INSERTIONS • Sales have shown to increase 57% second insertion • Increase of 35% third insertion Consistency has proven to be the prime factor in driving response and closing a sale, more so than size of ad or positioning.

This week on the web:

Dogs, ponytails and parking tickets Girl from Spruce Grove finds comfort with rescue dog A little girl from Spruce Grove has been given a new outlook at life thanks to a rescue dog.

Emmi Tegart is 11 years old and has D o w n Syndrome, Autism, Anxiety, and OCD. Her family has struggled to find ways to help Emmi with her anxieties, which can come through via loud noises, busy surroundings.

The family always thought a therapy dog would be a huge help, but when they went to apply, most agencies were overwhelmed that they had to put a shut down on applications.

The Tegart family had no idea that even if their application went through, it can take up to five years to finally receive a much needed service dog.

Even though Emmi has anxiety with crowds, they decided to try the Edmonton Pet Expo to look at rescue animals.

Once they visited the Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue Society booth, a strange thing happened.

Emmi got out of her wagon, fed one particular pup treats, and burst into giggles and laughter, despite her anxieties. The family adopted the seven-month old pup, named Little Bear, on the spot.

Once the rescue found out why they wanted Little Bear, they decided to waive the fees for the family, and even had the previous applicant for adopting Little Bear generously withdraw their application so the process could be sped up for the Tegart family.

The pup was dropped off the next Tuesday at her new home, and Emmi and Little Bear became inseparable.

Little Bear was immediately a part of the family, and has an uncanny ability to know when Emmi needs some comfort and is always readily available for her new best friend.

Video footage shows husband save suicidal wife by the ponytail There’s police, and pedestrian, video

footage of a shocking rescue that went on in China. The footage shows the moment when a woman went to jump off the roof of a building, and her husband reaching over and grabbing her by the ponytail just in the nick of time.

Thanks to the quick thinking of the officers, they created a human chain to grab the husband and wife to hold them up until they could pull them back up to safety.

In the video, you can see the woman struggling to break free of her husband and the police officers, but she was unsuccessful.

It is still unknown as to why the woman decided to jump in the first place, but once she was back on solid ground, she was brought back to her home with her husband.

Peculiar parking ticket causes laughter in courtroom A Youtube channel called Caught in Providence, has had some internet fame due to a hilarious video about a woman in court and her parking ticket.

Judge Frank Caprio calls the lady up and he explains the situation. The woman had parked in a parking spot that was under a “no parking from 8 until 10,” which the lady agrees to, but that’s where it all went downhill.

Judge Caprio could barely make it through reading the reasoning for the ticket, laughing and shaking his head the entire time. The ticket was issued at 9:59.58. The entire courtroom erupted into laughter at the ridiculousness, all while the woman says “I guess my car clock is a little fast, cause it said 10!”

He then spent a few minutes making fun of the ticket, even poking fun at the parking enforcement officers, saying they are “Second to none in the country!”

Judge Caprio throws out the case, saying that 9:59 was close enough to 10 that it shouldn’t have mattered, all with a huge smile on his, and everyone in the courtroom’s, face.

When is the best time to pre-plan your funeral?

Funeral Home and Crematorium The best time to begin making your prearrangements is NOW, while you’re thinking about it. While some people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may think it’s too early, many people find that prearranging their funeral is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren’t leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional distress. This checklist will help you make sure every detail is tended to: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6)

Have a Will and tell those whom are stated in it, where it is, and what it states Prepare a list of people who should be contacted in case of a medical emergency or death Write an obituary or write down information needed for an obituary Decide where the obituary should appear Choose the type of service you would like (Burial or Cremation) Choose your details: • Cemetery lot location • Casket type/Cremation urn type • Vault/Sectional crypt • Type of service: religious, military, and other • Your pallbearers • Your music selection • Your flowers • Readings at service and who will read them • Choose the charity, church, or organization you would like donations to be made to • Choose your funeral and visitation location

Now that you’ve figured out the details, it’s time to make sure they’re carried out.

Follow up with a Funeral Professional to collect the most up to date funeral costs for peace of mind.

Lights, camera and action as filming of hockey movie closes in Cont’d from Page 11 Some of McKort’s fondest childhood memories were made on the ice, and he said the film doesn’t exclude race, creed or colour. He went on to say multiculturalism is the fabric of Canadianism, and he will highlight that in the upcoming movie. “It’s about a rag tag group of kids coming together,” adds McKort. The lead character will face a number of challenges as they adjust to living in a new community, joining a new hockey team, and re-creation of themselves.

Sure Shot Dombroski: The Early Years II was filmed in Beaumont a couple of years ago, and he said that the experience was a very positive one for everyone involved. Not only was

McKort drawn to the geography of Fort Saskatchewan, and its unique landmarks, but he was also drawn to the rounded roof structure of the Karol Maschmeyer Arena, and its old fashioned style, and warm atmosphere. “We’re very excited about Bruderheim.” He has also been very well received by the community, and is excited to be filming in the town this year.

Now all that is left to do is support the local production, and wait for the results to come in.

Members of Team Bruderheim could not be happier about being on the filmaker’s roster, and can’t wait to be a part of the lineup and upcoming action which is sure to be a memorable one for everyone involved.

Mundare Vipers host annual tournament

MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS

The Mundare Initiation Vipers put their heads and hearts together to work as a cohesive unit during their match up with the Strathcona Warriors Sunday afternoon, and trounced the visiting squad by a score of 16-1. Every game during the tournament, prizes were given to the MVP and Heart and Hustle nominees from each

The Mundare Novice Vipers faced off against the Spruce Grove Gators Sunday afternoon, and soundly beat the opposition by a score of 8-3. The team advanced to the final against the Sherwood Park Knights, and were narrowly edged out by a score of 7-5, and had to settle for a silver medal.

One of the busiest places youĘźll find in any small town is the hockey arena, and the Mundare Recreation Centre was no exception as nine teams played in the annual initiation and novice tournament Feb. 3-5. Volunteer Lesley Lutz said the event went over great and visiting teams were impressed by how organized it was, which speaks volumes for the local parents who spent many hours planning and participating at the event. The Novice team will be heading on the road to Bashaw for an away tournament at the end of the month. Good Luck Vipers!
