Lamont firefighters host Heroes in the Sky event Event honours 9/11 heroes BY JANA SEMENIUK Lamont firefighters hosted their Heroes in The Sky event at the Lamont County administration building on Sept 7 from 11am – 3pm. The free event, which accepted donations at each station, aims at connecting residents with their local firefighters in hopes of sharing some emergency prevention tips as well as having a bit of food and fun. “We hold this event as close as we can to Sept 11. It started in memory of those who died during 9/11 in New York,” said Lieutenant Andy McDonald. “We’ve turned it into a free community event.” McDonald explained that Heroes in the Sky has been held annually for the past eight years. This year, the event included a barbecue, raffle table, bouncy castle, kids firefighting challenge, as well as a vehicle extrication demo. The kids’ firefighting challenge was put together as a scaled-down version of what firefighters do in order to save lives during a fire. In this case the children had the opportunity to make their way around and through obstacles in order to save a stuffed bear. A woman known as ‘Dolly’ from Parkview restaurant, generously donated her Ford Taurus station wagon to be dismantled during the vehicle extrication demonstration. Aldon Automotive donated transportation of the vehicle to and from the event site. In addition, the Mundare firefighters were also on-hand to assist with the activity. McDonald explained over the microphone step by step what the firefighters were doing and what equipment they were using as they dismantled the Ford. In the end, with windows busted out, they managed to remove the roof of the vehicle as they would do had there been a victim trapped inside. Proceeds from the event are used to help fund resources that firefighters take to local schools, as well as additional equipment and advanced training for the firefighters. “We are sending one of our female firefighters (Kylee Dziewenko) off to BC for nine weeks for training in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,” said McDonald. “So, if anyone from our area needs help, we will have a resource right here.” Dziewenko, who is also a primary care paramedic, will be attending the Critical Care Stress Management Program in BC one weekend per month until the end of February.
Lamont firefighters chop away at a wrecked vehicle as they demonstrate to a large crowd the way victims are extracted from a vehicle wreck, during the Heroes in the Sky event held Sept. 3. A large crowd came out to participate in viewing demonstrations, playing on bouncy castles, and chowing down at a BBQ – all part of a fundraiser the local department holds to raise funds for further education and training.

State of Mundare cenotaph concerns council Rescued
there was some money in the recreation reserves that could cover the repair costs. Councillor Irene Talaga told council she had had a contractor have a look at the cenotaph and he had estimated he could do the job for as little as $2,000 although she admitted this would involve only stripping existing tiles and patching the cement base. She did advocate getting more quotes for the project. Talaga said since they were looking at putting up a new welcome sign in the town, possibly a patch job would hold it for a couple of years. Zyla replied he didn’t know if patching it would keep the cenotaph secure. Mayor Mike Saric felt if the cenotaph was lifted from its base it would fall apart. While Zyla said it was all rock, Saric The Mundare cenotaph, hon- said it was patchouring those who gave their work construction lives during the First and which might not stand up to being Second World Wars BY JOHN MATHER The condition of the Mundare cenotaph was a cause for concern when town council met Sept. 3. “The base of the cenotaph is crumbling and needs to be replaced,� Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla told council. He said he had spoken to some contractors and was told the cenotaph would have to be removed from the base and one estimate had come in at $10,000. “We haven’t budgeted for this so I’m wondering if you want to do it this year and take the funds from our reserves?� He went on to state
moved. “Just looking at it,â€? said Talaga, “It’s hard to believe the cenotaph could be moved without breaking apart.â€? Saric suggested  council might want to look at building a new cenotaph. “It could be with new stones or something.â€? Talaga asked if it could be deferred and council all agreed to hold off. “Let’s explore all the options before we commit to anything,â€? added Saric. “Like $10,000‌ that would be a budget item.â€? Zyla agreed to talk to a few other masonry firms to get ideas on what a repair job would cost. “Before Remembrance Day it needs a cleaning up of some sort,â€? said Talaga. Council decided to get more information in time for their next meeting,â€? “I’d hate to spend even $1,000 if it’s just going to be replaced next year,â€? said Councillor Jason Kowal. Council decided to hold off any decision until more information was obtained.
Continued from front Thornton added that the ambulance transported her to the Lamont Hospital where the air ambulance could safely land and then transport her to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. Her injuries included a fractured left side of her atlas (the first cervical vertebra of the spine closest to the skull), C6 and C7 verte-
brae located at the base of the neck, a head laceration from her eyebrow up into her hairline, as well as numerous stitches. “That’s a phone call no parent wants to get,� said Thornton’s mother Shelley Thornton. “We are surprised that she is up and moving with her neck injuries. The neurologist is also amazed that she is doing so well.� Two of the emergency workers who attended
Thornton’s accident were also volunteering at Heroes in the Sky; firefighters Kaylee Dziewenko and Travis Anderson. “We showed up after the first responders,â€? said Anderson. “We helped to get her transported and it worked out really well.â€? Thornton’s prognosis looks very promising although she may have lasting nerve damage throughout her forehead.Â

Opinion Quit shooting the messenger Governments, institutions, boards and unions continue to grow. As they do, they demand more and more control. The more control they get, the larger they get, and the smaller the little people. You know the little people right? It’s you, me and Uncle Clem. It’s us taxpayers… the ones whose money it is that pays the salaries of these people who work within their self-made system thick with multiple layers of bureaucracy. We’re the people “public servants” work for, though you’d never know it sometimes. Just last week a simple article in one of our Caribou newspapers promoting school activities in a positive way, was chastised for not first getting approval from the proper authorities within the school system. News flash: We don’t work for the school system. I asked if the facts were wrong in the story? No. I asked if it was a private document in which the information was attained from? No. I asked if the person was misquoted? No. Okay so what is the problem? The article gave information important to parents about the upcoming school year, and the facts were taken from a newsletter sent out to parents online. In other words, shareable information. So if the school system had a problem and it wasn’t with the topic, or information, or quotes, then the only thing left that they could have a problem with is “lack of control.” But really, is the goal to control everything? We pay taxes so the school system can operate. Was controlling information we receive back, a part of what we agreed to pay for? And what does it say about our system when those people in charge of teaching our children about free speech, are themselves not entitled to give their own opinions? According to the school board: “Our administration procedures state principals and teachers cannot act as media spokespeople without first checking with Communications.” Is that sterile and institutionalized enough for you? Of course school boards are not alone. Friends in the business have told stories of their local governments threatening to stop doing business with newspapers who go “rogue” by presenting facts independently to the public without administrative editing. In other words they want the public to get their version of the facts, while threatening to withhold public money to do so. I think we can be thankful in this area that municipal governments are aware of the importance of transparency. Another phenomenon unique to this millennium are the number of RCMP detachments in the habit of not returning calls from local media, then complain that the facts were wrong or have jeopardized their cases. The media is mostly trying to confirm information with police for the very purpose of not getting the facts wrong. A free press can be a collaborator, but it also has to be a watchdog. Do we really want a world where all of our institutions are placing their own news (facts as they see it) on their own websites, providing the little people with what they want us to know and nothing more? It’s already happening folks. Are we sick yet, of large institutions treating us like we are in a teacher/pupil relationship and have no choice of our own? We’re your bosses, damn it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Angry Lamont ratepayer feels town picking on him To whom it may concern: I am a concerned ratepayer who lives in the town of Lamont. I pay high taxes in town, and I am very upset about the way I am being treated. There is nothing in this town for the kids, and what there is is very expensive like figure skating or a very sadly set up skateboard park. For the last two years I have been picked on from the Town about a trailer
parked on my property on my yard. In my books you treat one, you treat them all, equally. We own the property, not the Town. I just wish people would mind their own business and if you don’t like where something is then don’t look. With the price of taxes and complaints that is uncalled for. I thought this town is “City Living Country Style.” Not! There are better, more
important concerns then to worry about people’s property and their belongings. When I make complaints to the town office, I wish something was done but of course nothing gets done. Now wouldn’t you be an angry rate payer? I would also wish that people would do their jobs, not just focus on one person. Sincerely Syd Fedun (Angry Rate Payer)

New principal for Bruderheim School BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim Elementary School has a new principal this year. Cheryl Semeniuk has joined the faculty after previously being with Andrew School. “I am absolutely thrilled to be at Bruderheim School,” she
said. “I have been a principal and a teacher from kindergarten through grade 12 and I’m so thrilled to be returning to an elementary school.” Semeniuk explained that she brings many years of experience and enthusiasm to the job and hopes to carry on the
great work that is already being done in Bruderheim School. She was also very happy to see Shell’s Fuelling Kindness program continuing. “I think it’s a wonderful event that gets done every year,” she said. “We are so thankful to
Shell for the opportunity to welcome the students back. I think it capitalizes on the excitement of the first day of school and sets the tone for what we want around kindness.” Shell Scotford initiated their Fuelling Kindness program three years ago. Participants start at 6:30
a.m. on the first day of school drawing inspirational pictures and messages on the sidewalks with chalk. The program aims to spread positivity and welcome students to a new school year.

Dieppe – The Untold Story coming to Festival Place in Sherwood Park on Friday For more than 75 years, the story of Dieppe has become a familiar one to war history buffs. The tragedy on the beaches of Dieppe, which happened on August 19, 1942 when Allied soldiers launched an attack against German forces, became one of the most controversial events of the Second World War. The attack, largely perceived as a disaster, ended with an extreme number of casualties. Nine hundred and seven Canadian soldiers were lost that day. What if new information were uncovered that could help explain Dieppe? “The story of Dieppe has been told and retold for 75 years, basically telling the same story over and over again,” explains Canadian military historian Ted Barris. “David (O’Keefe) has found material in the story of Dieppe that has completely turned the story upside down.” David O’Keefe, also a Canadian military historian, and Barris are joining forces on September 13, at Festival Place in Sherwood Park, to present an evening of reflection and discussion with ‘From Dieppe to D-Day – The Untold Story’. In addition to the story of Dieppe, O’Keefe will launch his second book entitled “Seven Days in Hell” which tells the epic story of the men from the Black Watch, while Barris will launch his 19th book of military history with “A Rush to Danger; Medics in the Line of Fire” chronicling the struggles and challenges of military medics from as far back as the U.S. Civil
War……including the experiences of Barris’s own father, sergeant medic Alex Barris. Alex Barris served as a medic in the Second World War from 1942 1945 and later went on to become a Canadian broadcaster, journalist and author before his death in 2004.
Canadian author Ted Barris “My dad and I were very close as we were both writers and respected each other’s thinking,” said Barris. “He shared with me (while writing ‘Days of Victory’ together) some of his own stories of when he was a medic. I knew a few of them, but as we talked, he revealed more and I realized there was a whole lot more there than I had ever probed for.” After his father’s death in 2004, Barris “ratcheted up his research” to tell the story. Forgotten files, which reflected his father’s time in the army, set Barris on a journey that would
lead him to a university archive in Georgia. He tracked down a man who served with his father in the army named Tony Melacci. Melacci was only too happy to meet Barris and share with him many stories of his time with Barris’s father in the war. “I went down and spent time with him (Melacci) and he revealed stuff about my dad I didn’t know,” said Barris. “Nothing earth shattering, or cruel or evil or illegal, but he showed me things about my father’s life as a medic I didn’t know.” Barris has also included stories from other medical personnel. “Because I’ve been interviewing veterans for more than 40 years, I’ve got thousands of interviews many of which I have never used before. Some of them are nurses, or surgeons, stretcher bearers, ambulance drivers, and that triggered my pursuit of other stories leading up to the American civil war and all the way to Afghanistan and Iraq to get a stronger sense of what being a medic really has become over those years,” said Barris. “Then I began to build chapters around my dad’s stories as sort of a tree trunk and all of these other stories are the limbs of the tree as you go through the book.” Barris also admits to being a huge MASH fan

in the 70s. “I thought it was one of the most brilliant pieces of television writing I had ever witnessed. And my dad did too!” said Barris. “Not only because it was so clever and funny but because it
was so spot on for the attitude that some of these medical people had to have in order to survive.” Barris explained that he used the MASH television series in one of the chapters of his new book
to talk about the mythology of medics. Tickets for “From Dieppe to D-Day- The Untold Story” are available at www.festivalplace.ab.ca or by calling the box office at 780449-3378.

Adults and kids of all ages gathered together; armed with their scooters, bikes, helmets, padding and skateboards to break in the newly constructed concrete park. Local 124, an Edmonton based skateboarding group, were on-hand to demonstrate skateboarding techniques as well as help out new skateboarders with some tips and advice. In addition, the Cosmic Skatepark received some generous donations to help ensure their grand opening was successful. Manderley
Sod donated and installed the sod that surrounds the concrete structure, Big Bang fireworks donated $3,500 worth of fireworks to cap off the evening, and the Bruderheim Lions Club donated picnic tables that guests used while enjoying the free barbecue. “We are very grateful to all the companies who generously donated their services and their time,” said Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny. The entire park project is made up of three phases to be completed within the next five years. Phase one, she explained, is the completed skatepark, while phase two will be the playground with splashpad. The third phase will be the community gardens with an open park

FROM WHERE I SIT: Perfect Balance is the Challenge
BY HAZEL ANAKA Every day there is some hyped announcement of the latest, greatest innovation. Some are hits, others are misses. Some improve with next generation tweaks. Some are ill-conceived from the outset. Those of us who saw the invention of the television applaud the person who later designed the remote control. A way to change channels without popping out of your chair was less important with early ‘Peasant TV’ and a whopping three channels to choose from. Today, scrolling through hundreds of satellite choices would be impossible and impractical without the remote. Control of the remote within the household is
also a time-honoured power symbol. Then some urban person decided that using a private car, transit bus, bike, or taxi weren’t enough options for getting around so Uber was born. While Uber is not without its faults it has changed the face and cost of getting around. Naturally, an imitator service appeared. So, if Uber is great and people are inherently reluctant to leave the couch, why not invent Uber Eats or Skip the Dishes? Through the use of an app, people who don’t want to cook or drive can have food delivered right to their door. It’s the updated version of pizza delivery. What’s not to love? Well, aside from the cost, I’m horrified at a news item I saw. According to a survey of both drivers and customers, apparently twenty-eight percent of drivers admit to stealing some of the food they’re supposed to be delivering. How gross is that? Now, some sort of labelling or seals need to be added to prevent tampering. I frankly don’t understand those people who
love Alexa and similar smart home devices. I think this technology exists for those who love to be early adopters of everything whether it works right or not. Or people with lots of disposable income. I can see it as an option for people with disability or mobility issues, but really the day I can’t turn my own lights off or on, I may have bigger issues. I understand that some see this technology as a convenience. My question is, at what cost? The privacy breaches and hacking of these devices is too high a cost for me to pay. It reminds me of a theory I have: just because it exists, doesn’t means it’s good. Or I need it. Or it will work with my values and lifestyle. GPS is another much lauded innovation and if my car’s system was easier to program, I’d probably use it more. That said, we’ve all heard or had horror stories of GPS badly misdirecting people to the point of misfortune or death. Using one’s own brain is still a good practise in the world of ‘use it or lose it’ and the coming
prophesy of a dementia tsunami. No one memorizes phone numbers anymore because of smart phones. No one uses wayfinding skills because of GPS. How do we keep our brains active and humming on all cylinders? How do we overcome the health ravages of too much sitting? How do we keep strangers’ fingers out of our food? Maybe we simply need to take a step back from technology and simplify our lives. Cook more, move more, rely more on our own wits and wisdom. There are so many indications of a groundswell, so many people weaning themselves from reliance on technology, so many wanting to go back to the basics. How else do you explain the return of macramé, LPs and turntables, the resurgence in growing one own’s food, the rejection
of disposable stuff? I’m not getting rid of my iPhone but I refuse to be a slave to it. I’m not swapping my MacBook Pro for my Underwood typewriter. I’m not throwing away takeout menus. I’m growing
some veggies, cooking simple food, repurposing things, and taking baby steps to living a life of less consumption. For each of us, finding the perfect balance is the challenge, from where I sit.

September 11, 2001 is a day in which our world changed. Its memory is synonymous with wide-spread confusion, shock, and fear. However, it was also a day of heroism, nobility, and courage. It was a staple in time that will forever remain. With Canadian troops continuing to serve in Afghanistan, and the fight against terror waging on around the world, its impact can still be felt to this day. Several emergency and rescue personnel lost their lives in the days that followed these horrific events, sacrificing their own well-being to spare the lives of others. For this, North Americans will be forever in their debt.

Naloxone kits slowed by firefighter resistance to inject the drug - Mundare council told BY JOHN MATHER The issue of getting Naloxone into Mundare fire trucks is being hampered by some firefighter not wanting to participate in the training if it involves giving people a life or death injection of the drug used in cases of opiod overdoses. Council heard of this delay at their Sept. 3 meeting and it raised some concerns. Chief Administrative Officer, Colin Zyla, who serves on the fire department, told council there were two types of the kit available in either a injection style dispenser or a nasal spray form. He said some firefighters were balking at using the injection method. “Why don’t we use the spray format?” asked Councillor Jaime Burghardt. “At the end of the day everyone is learning how to use this including kids,” said Mayor Mike Saric. “What’s the problem.” “If this firefighter was in a situation where someone had an allergic reaction and had to save a life by using an epi pen are you saying they wouldn’t do it.” Zyla said he thought
that was the case. “Well maybe we have to visit what our expectations are from our firefighters,” said Saric. “If you’re going to be on the department there are certain expectations of what you will do and we expect those to be met. If you can’t should you then be on the fire department?” “You can’t pick and choose which parts of the job you want to do,” he added. Zyla said the County wouldn’t provide the kits until a certain percentage of the firefighters were trained in its use, when asked why other firefighters on the department didn’t have the kits. Zyla added he didn’t know if it was an issue in other fire stations around Lamont County but would ask. Zyla said he felt some of the concern was possibly dealing with fentanyl. “I’ve been to countless courses on this and they tell you if you’re not suited up properly, and you go into a room and see loose powder, then you turn and walk out because it can kill you.” Saric said he didn’t
want to see Mundare holding up the distribution of the kits around the County. Zyla didn’t know if that was happening. Council wants the Mundare fire chief to come to the next council meeting to further discuss this issue. “I definitely have concerns,” said Burghardt. “It could be your child, niece, nephew or neighbour. You have to be able to respond positively.” ______________________ Zyla reported to council he still has not heard from Alberta environment concerning the smoke issues at Stawnichy’s Meat Processors. Council had heard from residents last spring who were concerned with the smoke coming from the downtown facility. At that time it was reported Alberta Environment would come out and view the operation. ______________________ Mayor Mike Saric wondered if they could do anything about installing cameras on the main street. This followed an attempted robbery at the ATB branch on the main street recent-

ly. Apparently thieves had tried to cut into the bank’s safe using grinders, but failed in their attempt when alarms sounded. He said it could help police by capturing images of the licence plates of vehicles involved. Councillor Tallega stated the bank had it own cameras. Zyla said he would get some pricing and maybe they could do something in the next year. Saric said if the town installed one camera a year, it wouldn’t take long to have the downtown covered. ______________________ Councillor Irene Tallega asked if the town could paint the cement pillars at the base of the town sign near the arena, to help make it look a little better. ______________________ Councillor Jason Kowal asked if Mundare could meet with the County to work co-operatively so if a new busi-
ness located in the County, then maybe they could let them know there was housing and an available workforce in Mundare. “It just another way we can work to promote our community to any new businesses coming into the area. “We have a viable,
vibrant community with affordable housing, so I think we should go as far as we can in getting our message out there.” Zyla said he would work to arrange a meeting with the County economic development officer, CAO Stephen Hill and local division councillor Dan Wararwa.

Mundare Riffle Range hosts shooting enthusiasts from three associations Fifteen teenagers from three area Fish & Game Associations (Fort Sask., Mundare and Lamont), came to an area just north of Mundare for an annual trap shooting event. Under the watchful eyes of Range Officer Dale McCarty from Mundare, Back Up Range Officer Gord Blize
from Fort Sask. and other volunteers the youth (ages six to 18) fired off over 17 boxes of 12 & 20 gauge shells and destroyed five cases of clay pigeons at the Mundare Rifle Range. This was all brought about by the 48th Annual Andrew Young Memorial Junior Trap Shoot hosted by the Fort Sask.
then each group fired five rounds from each of the five shooting stations. The winner of the junior part had a run of 10 for 10 to earn her a free ticket to next year’s Fort Sask. annual banquet which is scheduled for March. All the youths received prizes. • 1st Place with 16 out of 25 – Kaedyn Biro • 2nd Place with 13 out of 25 – James Coyne • 3rd Place with 10 out of 25 – Austin Patri
Fish and Game Assoc., now combined with the 10th Annual Jerrit Zayac Memorial Junior Trap Shoot. The day started off with some safety instruction by the adults, followed by a brief hands-on of the firearms for those who were at their first trap shoot. After 10 practice rounds (two rounds from each station), the competition started in earnest. Three groups of five shooters were staged and
Because of the age difference in our two Memorial trap shoots, the seniors division had some fine marksmen as well. In the adult catego-
ry for teens 16 to 18 the results were: Clay scored 22 out of 25, Jacob with 19, and Faith had a awesome time with her first trap shoot.

cabinets as well as creating storage facilities and bathrooms. The entire project cost the town $60,000, which was raised by the community in addition to the acquiring of grant funding. During the town’s Steak Night fundraiser in May, local resident and employee of North West Refinery, Amanda Perras, presented Hauch with a $10,000 check from the organization to help fund the project. Town Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny applied for the funds from NWR’s Community Investment Grant earlier in the year. “Vanessa Goodman from North West Refinery was instrumental in making this donation happen,” explained Hauch. “Many thanks to our friends in industry, business and all ranges of government who gladly support our town initiatives.”
