ROBBERY at Chipman Hotel Bar

MAUREEN SULLIVAN Three men robbed the Chipman Hotel May 15 after assaulting the bartender and leaving with an undisclosed amount of money.

At approximately 9:45 p.m., three males entered the Chipman Hotel Bar and ordered drinks. Owner Dave Magee was alone with the three men and was making a drink for one of the male suspects, when a second suspect went behind the bar and grabbed Magee around the neck and said he was robbing him.

All three male suspects left the hotel bar with an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register and the VLT float box, and fled the scene in a red Pontiac Grand Am believed to have been driven by a fourth (female) suspect. The red Pontiac Grand Am suspect vehicle has damage to the front passenger side and is missing the front passenger side hubcap.

"I am glad that there was no one else in the bar at the time that might have been hurt," said Magee. "It was probably because we were alone that the men thought they could get away with robbing the place."

The men were not known to Magee but he believes that they have been seen since, locally.

The RCMP were called and conducted patrols in and around the surrounding areas but were unable to locate the suspect vehicle. Video surveillance and

images of the suspects and suspect vehicle were obtained.

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance with identifying suspects involved in the robbery at the Chipman Hotel Bar. The first suspect is described as: Caucasian male, average build, wearing a white ball cap, a white button up collared shirt, light blue jeans, a black jacket and white sneakers. The second suspect is described as: Male with dark complexion, a heavy set build, light beard, wearing a long sleeve dark shirt.

The third suspect is described as: Caucasian male, thin build, wearing a black hoodie. The fourth suspect is believed to be a female caucasian with blonde hair.

If you have any information about this ongoing investigation, please contact the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-997-7900.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Amen to That

BY HAZEL ANAKA My driver’s license was up for renewal on my birthday in early March. Because I was in Camrose in midFebruary for the Rural Tourism Conference, I decided to head to AMA to renew it there.

It should have been a straightforward interaction. And was, until the clerk asked about organ donation. I said yes. She gave me a form to sign. I realized there was a bit more to it than a simple yes. Then I said no.

Then because I was feeling rushed because the

conference was to begin soon, I delayed my decision. She told me that because consent wasn’t being done at the time of license renewal, it wouldn’t show up on my license. I figured that was a major drawback but knew I wasn’t ready to plunge in. For one, as a family we’d never had the conversation. Yes, ultimately it would be my decision, but having the family onside and supportive is critical.

I left with my temporary license, a government donation brochure, and some decisions to make. Including, but not limited to, does anyone really want “mature” organs or tissue.

My thinking process dragged into April and through the one-year anniversary of the Humboldt Broncos bus disaster. The momentum of organ donor sign ups began in 2018 as news

that deceased Bronco Logan Boulet’s organs saved six people. The Canadian Blood Services estimated that more than 150,000 people signed their donor cards within two months of his death in what is being called the Logan Boulet Effect.

April 7th has now been designated Green Shirt Day as a way to keep that momentum and awareness going and growing. One can only guess at how many people have been moved to finally do what they’d only ever thought about in passing.

I didn’t sign up online on April 7th because I’m not particularly compliant and because I try to resist group think every chance I get. But I did sign up as an organ donor. Roy took the news with calm indifference. Hilary said she’d done it ages ago. So, here’s the deal. Go to

UltimateGiftAlberta.ca (which is nestled in the MyHealthAlberta.ca website).

Open an account. Be prepared to decide if you want to donate all my organs and tissues or only these organs and/or tissues (includes 13 choices) or non-transplant options that include whole body donations. With the first two options, you also need to decide whether it’s for transplantation, scientific research or medical education or some combination thereof.

Signing the Alberta Organ and Tissue Donation Registry Donation Consent Form in front of a witness and mailing it in completes the process and provides proof of your consent.

Obviously doing it when renewing my license would have saved several steps.

A by-product of regis-

tering as a donor was exploring the tools available to me through the My Health Alberta portal. The terms of use and consent document is miles long and essentially says that ‘they’ are not responsible for any data breaches and more. As with all online tools, it becomes a matter of weighing risk and benefit.

My little old handwritten health record book has been okay but not great. It’s only as good as my efforts to keep it updated but is really secure because even I can’t remember where I put it.

The My Health Alberta defaults to showing lab results, immunizations, prescriptions and appointments (if I add them).

The program must have launched in 2017 because there’s nothing prior to that shown. Tools to add

much more information exist. One could track allergies, blood pressure and pulse, blood sugars, exercise, food journals, procedures, sleep journal, medical conditions and umpteen more.

Anyone with chronic or serious issues could really create a full picture of their health, or is that their disease.

Aside from the privacy risks, that would be my fear…empowering those people who tend to become their diagnosis to spend even more time documenting, recording, agonizing over, focusing on their ‘numbers.’ I’m sure the literature says that in the long run, that’s not the best way to live.

But of course, that choice to use or not use the tools, to donate or not donate our organs is ours alone to make.

Amen to that, from where I sit.

Opinion GoFraudMe

GoFundMe is the world’s largest social fundraising platform, which has among other things raised some $15 million for the Humboldt Broncos and the families of the dead and injured hockey team involved in the 2018 fatal bus crash. The Broncos GoFundMe page was viewed by almost 2,000,000 people in the first 24 hours.

GoFundMe has grown to 40 million users and twothirds of the donations are from people who have given to the site for the first time, which to me means this thing is becoming even larger.

Most of the time GoFundMe is a wonderful thing. But like most great things, bad people always find a way to ruin it. So although GoFundMe can be a way for people to help others in need, it should also come with a warning label.

That’s where GoFraudMe comes in, as a website that tries to expose the fraudsters on GoFundMe. For every yin in the world there is a yang and although GoFundMe tries very hard to police fraud, it happens more often than they’d care to admit.

A favourite for fraudulent people has been presenting sob stories about having cancer, with one woman raising more than $25,000 for medical bills. The same person started a “Mom Has Terminal Cancer Disney Trip” page and raised another $10,000. Both were proven to be false claims.

A GoFundMe for an injured motorcyclist involved in a crash simply left out some facts in the campaign. He was apparently intoxicated and crashed into a Day Care. After that knowledge leaked out, people were less inclined to want to help him.

Then there was the GoFundMe page started for the family of a murdered little girl, whose chief beneficiary turned out to be charged with the girl’s murder.

Other scammers claimed they buried their dead cat, but it arose from the grave five days later and came back into the house. They started a GoFundMe page for its injuries, and raised $6,000 because of the miraculous story. The truth was uncovered that the owners knew the cat was alive when they buried it, and the Humane Society paid for the injuries.

But international tragedies are the most common things jumped on by scammers. There are so many tragedies known world-wide now because of the internet, it is easy for fraudsters to quickly start a campaign and capitalize off the tragedy. Sometimes these aren’t really scammers but people who are guided by the herofactor, and want to be the first to help others but over-step their authority to do so, and/or don’t fully understand the breadth of the situation.

Like everything else these days, research is easy on the web. Take your time, and get multiple verifications from several unrelated sources. Treat it like you’re trying to verify the national news.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MP Shannon Stubbs sponsors a petition to approve the Trans Mountain Expansion Shannon Stubbs, the Member of Parliament for Lakeland and Conservative Shadow Minister for Natural Resources, issued the following statement in support of Petition e-2165.

“I am proud to partner with Angela Cook, a concerned Albertan and strong supporter of our energy sector, to sponsor the official House of Commons petition calling on the Liberals to approve the Trans Mountain Expansion. I am urging Canadians to sign House of Commons Petition e2165 to tell the Liberals to Build TMX. We need action now!”

“The fate of the Trans Mountain Expansion rests with Liberal cabinet ministers.

The Liberals have said they

plan to make a decision by June 18th. Canadians can neither allow the Liberals to kill this pipeline on this already extended deadline date nor can Canadians allow the Liberals to delay the decision to fall, it would cost taxpayers billions of dollars. The stakes are too high to not take action.”

“The mistakes the Liberals made on the Trans Mountain Expansion, their ‘no more pipelines’ Bill C-69 and other anti-energy policies and legislation have destroyed Canada’s reputation as a stable, fair, predictable destination for energy investment. It is unconscionable that the Liberals are using Canadian tax dollars to help China build pipelines in Asia, while they

delay approval of the Trans Mountain Expansion in Canada. “ “Canadians cannot just wait for the Liberals to make yet another mistake. Already, nearly 200,000 Canadian oil and gas jobs have been lost, and another 12,500 are expected to be lost this year. The Prime Minister gave the order to cancel the Northern Gateway pipeline instead of getting the consultation right.

The Liberals' rule changes and double standard not applied to any other pipelines, killed Energy East and the Liberals’ pattern of ongoing mistakes and delays on the Trans Mountain Expansion is driving oil and gas businesses and jobs out of Canada.”

Good crowd for Chipman Fur and Feathers Homesteaders Market MAUREEN SULLIVAN Good weather, brought out the crowds to the fourth annual Chipman Fur and Feathers Homesteaders Market according to organizer Nichole Goy. There were about 40 vendors selling everything from peacocks to started vegetables.

Kids enjoyed glitter tattoos, and planting a

There were chicks, ducks and peacocks, rabbits, lambs, goats, a pig and puppies for sale as well as a spinning demonstration. Also the usual vendors found at fairs but with a definite

country twist.

The market was originally created to bring local farmers and homesteaders together said Goy, co-creator and this year’s organizer.

The Senior Drop in Centre was successful in receiving a grant for a new state of the art television and picked it up from the Vegreville

Walmart recently.

According to Judy Shaw, President of the Senior Centre, "People now have the ability to play movies and videos on the TV screen straight from a computer. It is an

Bison documentary being shot at EINP - votes needed MAUREEN SULLIVAN A documentary is currently being shot at Elk Island National Park and documentarian Mike Wivell of Square Sheep Films is looking for your help.

"Bison Return from the Edge of Extinction," has been entered into the 2019 Documentary Edition of STORYHIVE. There will be 30 projects selected, 15 projects will be selected by votes from the community and 15 will be selected by a jury.

Each awarded project will receive a $50,000 production grant. Wivell would like your vote for his project.

The film "Bison Return From The Edge Of Extinction," is a mix of natural history and culture that tells the story of bison from the Ice Age to the present day. The iconic image of the Great Plains Bison of North America were a few hundred bison away from becoming extinct. Bison were entwined in the lives of the First Nation people for thousands of

years, and the film explores how and why the bison were slaughtered in such great numbers during the 19th Century, explains Wivell.

"We look at the conservation work being continued today at Elk Island National Park. We listen and learn from local elders of Treaty Six First Nations and Metis Nation of Alberta. We talked to academics of new studies that challenge what we thought we knew. We dare to dream and dare to ask; Could we see the return of bison roaming free on the plains of Alberta?," asks Wivell.

"Filming of the bison is almost exclusively being done at Elk Island National Park and Parks Canada has been very supportive of my filming requests. During the summer months it is hoped that a significant amount of filming will involve the Enoch Cree Nation and the Metis Nation of Alberta," added Wivell.

"There is talk of a

bison carcass being donated so that the younger generation can learn of the processing of a bison and the historical importance the animal was to First Nation people. A summer camp will also be held at the park with the aim of teaching the youth traditions and skills used by their forefathers."

A significant number of experts in the field of bison have been secured and will also be interviewed for the documentary. This ensures a balanced film with varying views on the history and future of bison, according to Wivell. The documentary will be 60 minutes in length and it should be released in the summer of 2020.

"The great thing about STORYHIVE is that they stipulate that a minimum of 75% of any funding be spent in your local community. They also stipulate 75% of filming must be completed in your local community. This is why it is so very important to secure

as many community votes as possible between May 28 and May 31, 2019," says Wivell.

To vote the community can either visit www.bisonfilm.com and use the vote button/link found on the home page.

This will take you directly to the "Bison Return From The Edge Of Extinction" vote page on STORYHIVE .

Alternatively you can visit www.storyhive.com and look for Bison Return From The Edge Of Extinction and follow the instructions to vote for the documentary .

"It really is vital for “Bison Return From The Edge Of Extinction” that it secures as many votes as possible. The documentary will showcase Elk Island National Park in such a great and positive manner.

“Please vote and please share with your friends and family and ask them to also vote," Wivell requests.

Chipman has its own community garden MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Village of Chipman is opening a community garden, a place to come together and enjoy spending time growing something n the garden.

"There's something special about working in a garden with others, it's sociable, fun and full of laughter," said English gardener Monty Don. Located on the corner of 50 Street and 50

Avenue the land was donated by the Village to be used for the garden. A small group of gardeners signed on to the idea of a community garden and Michelle Pinon, a Chipman resident, petitioned the Village for some space.

Dave Magee from the Chipman Hotel gathered a donation of $400 dollars at the anniversary

party for the hotel and provided the funds to the community garden.

He hopes to have a kid friendly party, serving food from the garden at harvest time.

Pinon and Roma Warren, another Chipman gardener, were out rototilling the garden on May 11 and getting it ready for planting.

Conductor Dale Hallier tells Lamont Elementary students about music as his band, the Highland Secondary from Comox, BC, get ready to play.

High school band from BC travels to Lamont for one performance MAUREEN SULLIVAN Lamont Elementary was entertained by the Highland Secondary Band from Comox, British Columbia, May 9.

The musicians are in grade 11 and 12 and have all played for four or five

years. They are led by music teachers Nancy Cox and Dale Hallier.

The B.C. high school band is on an annual tour but Lamont is not usually on the list of stops. The detour to Lamont is a personal one

for Hallier, as his daughter Alexis Hallier is the grade 4 teacher at Lamont Elementary.

The Senior Rocky Circle Tour has the students travelling and playing in places such as Kamploops, B.C.,

Canmore, Calgary, Edmonton, Jasper and back to Comox.

This is the last tour for Hallier, who is retiring at the end of this year after 32 years of teaching music at Comox.

"It's nice to visit

Lamont, I am glad that our tour brought us out here. The band travels every other year to San Francisco, but it's nice to be here this year," said Hallier.

Lamont students were entertained while learn-

ing about the various instruments in a band and playing guess that tune as each instrument was featured while some students got a chance to conduct the orchestra.

Bruderheim adds pest control officer to patrol town

BY JOHN MATHER For several years, Lori Morgan has handled Bruderheim’s weed management control.

She appeared before council May 15, and while giving an update on her activities added

she would be stepping back a little and asked council to appoint Sperling Kozak as the town’s primary weed inspector for 2019.

Morgan will stay on as an alternate weed inspector for the commu-

nity.

“We as a County are required to have weed inspectors appointed to enforce the weed control act,” Morgan told council. “We have the powers to go on public and private property to inspect

for noxious weeds as listed in provincial legislation.’

She told council, that as an employee of Strathcona County, she also was contracted out to Bruderheim.

She gave a quick

overview on what some noxious weeds in the area.

“The weeds need to be

controlled and not allowed to spread,” she added.

Weed and Pest Control Continued from Page 10 Bruderheim enters into an agreement with the County annually to provide weed inspection services and Morgan has been the weed inspector for the past two years.

“The town is doing really well in taking measures to control weeds in the community,” she said. “If there are weeds, notices or friendly letters are sent and people are asked to control the weeds.”

She said in the previous year nine notices had been given along with 12 friendly letters issued.

“So that is pretty manageable,” she added.

“Two files were left incomplete but that was because we were hit with some winter weather early in September and

they took care of themselves.”

She added those properties would be on the early inspection list this year.

“This year we’ve asked that two weed inspectors be appointed,” she told council.

“One would be Sterling Kozak and I would be appointed as the alternate to help out.”

She went on to say the town had also asked that a pest control be appointed for 2019.

“Working under the agricultural pest act, we would help out with the pest control in the area,” she said. “We felt Sterling would take on that role and as the weed inspector he would give Bruderheim the best bang for its buck.”

Last year she said, Strathcona County offered services for ground squirrel control as well as muskrat con-

trol when necessary. She added if pocket gophers became a concern the pest control officer could be called in.

She told council the weed inspectors visit Bruderheim every two weeks and if a notice is issued offenders have two weeks to comply and fix the problem.

Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny told council having the agreement with Strathcona County was ideal because “what’s unique about Strathcona weed inspectors and pest control officers is they have both rural and urban areas to work in.”

“With our recent annexation we now have this same mix of rural and urban environment which has to be looked after. We’re very fortunate they are versed in both aspects.”

He added he’d be using traps but doubted they would pose a problem.

Podoborozny added administration could place signs in areas where traps might be used, so family pets wouldn’t be at risk.

Following the presentation, council passed a motion to appoint both Kozak and Morgan as the town weed inspectors, and Kozak as the pest control officer.

“Traps for pocket gophers or moles are very small, so you’re not worried about pets getting into the trap.”

He added muskrat traps are bigger but they are set out in water.

Campbell also asked if areas under pest control management were marked so people walking their pets wouldn’t be worried.

Olechow asked what residents should do if gophers became a problem in their yards.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, May 22, 2019- 15

Respectful farewell quilts and banners honour past residents and help staff and families heal When a resident in Long Term Care (LTC) passes away, this loss is felt not only by their loved ones, but also by the community with whom they resided and shared their lives with.

The team of professionals who care deeply for these individuals is also affected by their deaths. We have a saying which is displayed in our various Long Term Care Units at Lamont Health Care Centre (LHCC): “Our Residents do not live in our Workplace, we work in their Home."

As part of LHCC’s Mission, we strive to embrace a holistic approach, not only physically caring for our elderly population, but also being mindful of their emotional and spiritual needs. The Auxiliary to the LHCC devotes volunteer hours and has collaborated with the Facility Staff to uphold this Mission.

Sheila Vilcsak, the President of both The

Auxiliary to the LHCC and Affiliated Auxiliaries of East Central Region (also a former LTC Nurse Supervisor at LHCC), received an “article” from the Westlock Hospital Auxiliary indicating that it honors their deceased LTC residents with a “Farewell Quilt.”

This tapestry is draped over the body and the stretcher and the staff form an “Honour Guard” as the deceased is taken away to the funeral home.

When Sheila Vilcsak shared Westlock’s experience with the Loose Threads Quilt Group in Lamont, they decided to take on a similar project in memory of Residents in LHCC’s LTC. Rev. Debbie Brill, LHCC’s United Church Chaplain, expressed an interest in the project and in collaboration with Jody Zabel, LHCC’s Social Worker, the project was introduced to other LTC team members.

Not only was a “Farewell Quilt” created,

but the Group also created a “Farewell Banner” which is hung on the deceased resident’s room door and a “Placemat” which is placed at the deceased resident’s table setting in the Dining Room. The “Quilt” is used to cover the deceased resident as he/she is moved from his/her room.

The “Banner” and the “Placemat” is ‘in place’ in memory of our “LTC community member” for a 24-hour period.

The project was presented to the LTC Family & Resident Council and was well received. Since the initiation of this project, we have received nothing but positive feedback from families, LTC residents and staff.

The symbolism of a resident’s death that has been created by the “Farewell Quilt, Banner, and Placemat” has become a celebration honouring individuals’ lives. It is a meaningful way for staff who cared for the resident on a day-

to-day basis to say “goodbyes” in a dignified manner and to provide closure. Residents and families are also touched by this loving and caring tribute.

Members of the Loose Threads Quilt Group who are affiliated with various church communities shared their input on the colours and design of the quilt. It was recommended that the background be white; the colour ‘gold’ was chosen by the Orthodox members because the colour signifies ‘eternity’.

The Auxiliary to the LHCC provided the funds for the embroidery and long arm quilting as well as for some fabric.

L.A. Sewing was able to obtain fabrics with

scripture verse. Most of the fabric and all of the batting was donated. All of the sewing was done by the Loose Threads Quilt Group.

The embroidery was done in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and the long arm quilting was done by Cyril and Wanda Paul of Behind the Barn Quilting

in Bruderheim. All of the items were completed by Lil Pewarchuk, the Quilt Group’s binding expert!

The Loose Threads Quilt Group and The Auxiliary to the Lamont Health Care Centre are proud to have presented these meaningful items to LHCC’s LTC..
