Strong outpouring of support for Chipman family

This photo appears on the Go Fund Me Page that was organized by Gloria Brown for the surviving families of Terry Sutton, left, and best friend Jason Williams.

Murders leave questions Community tried to help but warnings weren’t followed up Michelle Pinon Editor When Lori Smith first heard about the shooting, she knew she had to do something.

A resident of Chipman herself, and employee of the Chipman Market, got the green light to put a donation bucket on the counter early Monday morning, April 3.

Donations for Misti Sutton, wife of Terry Sutton who was tragically killed along with his best friend Jason Williams, are still pouring in for her

and her children. “I don’t know them personally, but they were very friendly, and we had nice chats during coffee breaks,” stated Smith.

“I just wanted to help in any way I could.” Smith, who started work at the Chipman Market last September, said her boss is amazing, and was totally on board with the bucket campaign. In just over a week, more than $400 has been collected, and she hopes to continue the fundraising until the end of the month.

Both owners of the Chipman Market and Chipman Hotel also sponsored a

buffet Saturday evening at the hotel to raise money as well for the victims’ families. An estimated $750 was raised through that event, which coincided with the hotel’s second anniversary gala.

A Go Fund Me page was organized

by Gloria Brown, and created on April 5th, 2017 for Terry Sutton and Jason Williams. On her page she wrote: ”On the first weekend of April 2017 we lost 2 wonderful and loving friends, sons, and fathers to a tragic event that took their lives. Terry Sutton and Jason Williams were wonderful and hardworking men who left behind 6 children between the 2 of them.

“Terry Sutton is a father of 4 children and was a loving husband to a beautiful wife. Unfortunately the children of Terry saw this horrific event happen and unfold in front of them and will need special care to heal from this. Jason Williams was a very hard working man who was from Ontario, and moved here to join his best friend Terry for work. Jason is a father of 2 children as well. We are starting this fund raiser to help for funeral costs and to help support the families during this tragic time. We need your help to reach our goal of $20,000 or more. Please help with whatever you can as it will go directly towards the families of these great men. We will be giving these funds to the wife, mother, and children of Terry and Jason.”

A goal of $20,000 was set, and to date more than $10,000 has been raised by donors.

Accused murderer Nickerson to appear in court April 20 Michelle Pinon Editor

Room 101 at the Fort Saskatchewan Provincial Courthouse was packed Thursday morning.

There was a lengthy docket of cases before Judge Wilberg. Several of those items on the docket concerned Raymond Nickerson, who has been charged with two counts of second degree murder.

Nickerson, who appeared before the court via

closed circuit television was handcuffed and wearing a standard issue bright orange jumpsuit. Judge Wilberg told the Crown he needed to know the plan, and arranged to have the matter put over until April 20. “Make sure you have legal counsel for that day,” stated Judge Wilberg. “Release cannot be spoken to in this court,” added the judge, who stipulated that Nickerson have no contact with a number of individuals, and listed nearly a dozen names aloud to people in attendance.

Since the alleged homicides of Terry Sutton and Jason Williams on April 2, Nickerson was taken into policy custody and later charged with two counts of second degree murder. Nickerson’s common law wife Tina and her son Jordan, along with a handful of their own supporters quickly brushed past reporters with Global TV, CTV News, and CBC News outside of the courthouse entrance, and made “no comment” in response to reporters requests for a statement.

Chipman Mayor responds to tragedy Michelle Pinon Editor

Jim Palmer, Mayor of the Village of Chipman, responded to the tragedy on April 6.

During a telephone interview Palmer said the village had contacted the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP between 20 and 25 times over the past two or three years about problems at the Nickerson residence. “As soon as they moved in the problems started,” stated Palmer.

In fact, the number one topic of concern during monthly meetings between town administration and local mounties was the Nickerson residence. “Now two men are dead because the situation wasn’t dealt with.”

Palmer said they drove

dirt bikes and quads unsafely and at high speeds, shot up a neighbour’s fence, had numerous run ins with several people in the neighbourhood, but nothing was ever done. “It didn’t matter who complained.” Even though police listened to the complaints they did not act on those complaints or enforce any of the laws.

The village did not get any co-operation from Nickerson or his common law wife Tina. He says Tina had a “melt down” in the village office making verbal accusations against staff and slammed the door after exiting the building. The incident was captured on video surveillance, pointed out Palmer, but RCMP would not charge her.

“They (Nickersons’) thought they could do what they wanted when they wanted,” referring to Nickerson, Tina, and her son. “They were causing nothing but grief.”

Nickerson was a big time hunter and gun owner, said Palmer. “He had a rap sheet a mile long, just like the guy who did the drive by shooting.” Palmer also maintains that Nickerson even beat up the town foreman a couple of years ago, and no charges were laid because it was a case of he said, she said. Palmer also cited two drug incidents at that residence, and nothing was done about those either. The village also complained to the landlord of the residence on numerous occasions and the ten-

ants were never evicted despite the fact they were disturbing the peace and threatening other neighbours. The Landlord had been notified about his tenants several times and did nothing, added Palmer.

He feels the landlord as well as police played the odds that nothing would happen, but happen it did.

Palmer contends that everyone who lived around there knew it was a powder keg situation, and could explode at any time. Palmer said that household had threatened Misti Sutton on more than one occasion to physically harm her. “It’s up to the RCMP to enforce the laws.”

He feels the accused as well as other criminals have more rights than the victims, and can tie

up the legal system for years while waiting for justice to proceed.

Palmer said there is no justice for the victims or their families. “The loss of lives means nothing.”

Palmer said it’s about people’s rights and being able to live in peace.

Palmer said the village will be hosting a town hall meeting with the RCMP in the near future.

Village of Chipman Administrator Pat Tomkow confirmed that the National Hall has been tentatively booked for a meeting on April 28 at 7 p.m.

Cpl. Laurel Scott, RCMP K Division media relations spokesperson, stated: “The detachment commander will address any concerns directly with the residents of Chipman in an upcoming meeting. The resi-

dents have been advised of this meeting. That is a personal response to the community members and demonstrates our interest in working together with them to alleviate concerns.”

Cpl. Scott confirmed the RCMP arrived on scene in 30 minutes and had Nickerson in custody in 41 minutes from the time of dispatch.

As far as any other prior incidents or investigations Cpl. Scott said she could not provide comment. “I don’t have any information about what may have been seized at the scene of this incident. That is information that the Major Crimes Unit has, and becomes part of their evidence and investigational package.”

Lamontʼs Library Bookaneers are gearing up for an awesome Book Fair. Front Row from left to right: Clair Andruchow, Samara Bowmaster, Savannah Hanson, Jersey Neufeld, and Kira Snyder. Standing from left to right: Anastazia Engman, Madison Heinz, Ardrianna Davis, and Bryana Hawryluk

Shiver Me Timbers!, it’s Book Fair

By Savannah Hansen and Mikayla O’Brien LES Jr. News Team Ahoy mateys!

The Bookaneers are battening down the hatches and preparing for the coming storm of books. The Annual Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Lamont Elementary School on April 19th to 21st. The theme for the Book Fair this year is “Pirates” and books are the treasure.

Our Pirate Book Crew and our amazing parent volunteers are ready to help you plunder the treasures and find a book.

“Book Fair week is an exciting time when the library is transformed into a book store.

Students are excited to see the large selection of books and the chance to buy a book for their home library,” says Book

Fair Chairperson and Pirate Captain, Mrs. Wisselink, “The school community has always been very supportive of our Book Fairs. The money raised from the Book Fair goes toward purchasing new books for the library and books for the take home reading program.”

So come on out and meet a few pirates and find some treasure.

Grade 5s bring new meaning to Habit 5 By: Payton Moser Grade 6 Student On Wednesday, April 5th at 9:00 am all the students of Lamont Elementary School gathered in their gym for their monthly assembly.

They came to watch a presentation from Mr. Radersma’s Grade 5 class about habit 5.

In the first half of the assembly Mr. Radersma’s Grade 5 class gave a wonderful presentation on habit 5: Seek First to Understand then to be Understood. This means to listen well and understand before you respond to something.

Their presentation included a skit, a song and videos. One video entitled “Biscotti Kid” had all the students laughing. Olivia, a Grade 6, student said “I think the Grade 5 taught the younger kids a lot.”

Right after that they gave out 3 monthly awards. The first award, the golden garbage can, was awarded to the Grade 1 class for cleanest classroom. The Grade 6 class received the caring community award for

helping the Grade 4’s with their speeches. The love of learning award was given to the PALS for their friendship murals. Mrs. Nimchuk a teacher in the PALS class said “they were doing this to get the kids talking to each other and getting them to work together.

The last thing they did was recognize the students who raised the most money for their The Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser. The recognition was given to 3 students Ian Danyluk,

Cheyanne Calder, and Brayden Goy. They also recognize the leadership jobs students have at the school.

Morning announcers, breakfast club helpers, and intramural referees were all given recognition.

Brooklynn, a grade 6 student, said “it feels wonderful to be recognized for the jobs we work hard at.”

If you would like any further information visit our website or join us at our next assembly on May 3.

The Town of Lamont will be hosting an open house on Tuesday, April 18 from 5-8 p.m. in the lobby of the Lamont hall to review a proposed land use bylaw.

Mayor Bill Skinner said the information session is open to all, and both residents and interested parties are invited to attend.

Landowners, about 24 in total, who are directly impacted by the proposed changes will be notified and invited to attend the session, noted Skinner. “We sent out letters to landowners advising them that the districting of their land was changing to more accurately reflect what is existing on the land, this included business, institutional and residential

landowners,” stated Skinner.

Even though the town has no plans at this time to enlarge its current land base, Skinner said the land use bylaw was due for review and in need of updating. “We have tasked our Development Officer Laraine Stuart with reviewing our existing bylaw and providing the recommendations for updates. This review will

examine land use versus zoning to point out any discrepancies as well as looking forward to assure zoning will allow for future growth,” explained Skinner.

He went on to say, “Proposed changes to Lamont County’s Heartland Industrial Area Structure Plan have been considered to assure there are no conflicts with this bylaw.”

Opinion Letter: Despite Notley’s claim, CO2 is not pollution When Premier Notley and Environment Minister Shannon Phillips claim that climate science is settled, in effect, they’re justifying just about any government action, expense, or tax policy that they say will slay the climate dragon. As we all know, the dragon is carbon dioxide (CO2).

The premier refers to CO2 as pollution. Ivar Giaver, a Norwegian Nobel Prize-winning physicist says: “One thing you should not do is confuse pollution with CO2—CO2 is not pollution.”

William Happer, an atomic physicist at Princeton and member of JASON (a group of

elite scientists who advise the U.S. government on matters of science and technology), says: “We need to be vigilant to keep our land, air, and waters free of real pollution…but CO2 is not one of these pollutants.”

Freeman Dyson, the brilliant Princeton scientist who, like Happer, is a member of the elite scientific group JASON, acknowledges the mechanism by which many believe human action can influence climate, yet says the computer models can’t possibly capture what’s going on.

Dyson speaks to the beneficial impact of CO2.

In an interview with journalist Paul Mulshine,

Dyson said: “It’s certainly true that CO2 is good for vegetation. About 15% of agricultural yields are due to CO2 we put in the atmosphere.

From that point of view, it’s a real plus to burn coal and oil.”

Patrick Moore (Ph.D. ecology) is the cofounder of Greenpeace who served nine years as president of Greenpeace Canada and seven as a director of Greenpeace International. He says that CO2 is not a pollutant, but a colourless, odorless, tasteless gas and the most important food for life on earth. If the earth’s CO2 levels aren’t above 150 parts per million (ppm) he says that plants would

die.

Moore states that throughout the earth’s history, CO2 levels have been drawn down (by plants) from around 3,000 ppm to roughly 280 ppm—the level reached prior to the Industrial Revolution.

If the decline had continued, CO2 would have become too low to support life.

Fortunately, the Industrial Revolution sparked the use of fossil fuels, which boosted CO2 from the lowest levels in earth’s history to just over 400 ppm today.

Moore says: “At 400 parts per million, all our food crops, forests, and natural ecosystems are still on a starvation diet for carbon dioxide. The

optimum level of CO2 for plant growth… is about 1,500 parts per million, nearly four times higher than today, [which is why] greenhouse growers inject CO2” into their nurseries.

Ecologist Moore also says the earth has been warming since long before the heavy use of fossil fuels. He further says the idea that it would be catastrophic if CO2 were to increase, and average global temperature were to rise. is preposterous. “There has been no significant warming for 18 years while we have emitted 25% of all the CO2 ever emitted,” he said.

Tom Harris of the

O t t a w a - b a s e d International Climate Science Coalition says climate science is definitely not settled, and further indicates that the reason politicians like Rachel Notley throw around the term “carbon pollution,” is that it conjures up false images of dark and dangerous soot emissions even though CO2 has absolutely nothing to do with either soot or pollution. He says that demonizing CO2 is how climate alarmists discourage critical thinking, alarm the public, and justify their political agendas.

Governor General of Canada’s speech at Vimy Ridge 100th VIMY, France, April 9, 2017 On this day a century ago, as dawn broke over Vimy Ridge, the morning air suddenly exploded with an unholy roar. The noise has been compared to a physical assault, shattering the quiet of daybreak. It was the deafening sound of a

thousand howitzers, field guns, mortars and mines firing together, in unison. It was the sound of 15,000 Canadians charging into battle from tunnels, from trenches and dugouts.

“Chaps, you shall go over exactly like a railroad train, on time, or you shall be annihilat-

ed,” General Byng had told them. They did exactly that. Fighting together for the first time as one, facing an entrenched, determined enemy, the Canadian Corps took Vimy Ridge.

Victory was achieved through incredible struggle, determination and bravery.

Through months of careful plan-

ning and surveillance.

Through technological and social innovation in warfare. Through learning the hard lessons of war.

Victory was achieved because a sense of trust existed within the ranks. Despite all these advantages, the outcome was uncertain, the cost of victory very high. Three thousand, five hundred and ninetyeight Canadians were killed in the fighting.

Seven thousand were wounded.

Today, one hundred years later, we honour their eternal sacrifice. We mourn their loss. And we remember them. We remember their loved ones back home, bereft in the absence of sons, grandsons, husbands, fathers, friends. And we mourn the generations of

Canadians unborn because of their loss.

Above and behind me, extending high into the sky over us, behold the towering twin pylons of the Vimy Monument. See how they soar so boldly above us. Those spires symbolize the enduring friendship between Canada and France, underscored by the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who helped liberate this country in war. Those spires stand for peace and for freedom. They stand for justice and hope. And they remind us that one cannot exist without the other. Without freedom, there can be no peace.

Because freedom without peace is agony, and peace without freedom is slavery. Nor can justice and hope be separated.

Justice is owed to every

Niki Perrin Ad Sales

human being, and hope is the oxygen of the human spirit.

On both sides of the Atlantic today, we gather to remember those who fought at Vimy. We reflect on their service and sacrifice. Today, a century later, there are no remaining veterans of the First World War. That means it’s up to us to remember what happened, and to honour them.

Today, one hundred years after the Battle of Vimy Ridge, let us remember the fallen.

And let us work together for justice, for hope, for freedom and for peace.

Lest we forget.

From Where I Sit: S*&t Happens

By Hazel Anaka At the end of January I left my house to head into Edmonton for a day of errands. I never made it.

A skiff of snow covered an icy patch on our sidewalk. In a nanosecond I was lying on the ground stunned. I tried to understand how badly I was hurt and if I’d be

able to get up and back into the house. I realized this is how people die; falling down and not being discovered for days. Falling in winter has the added threat of hypothermia.

Roy was at an Edmonton conference.

I’m always carrying something and that morning was no exception. I could have gotten my cell phone out and called someone. I didn’t.

I was able to get up. The pain in my left knee and ankle was unreal. And I’m no stranger to pain. I had to gimp about twenty-five feet to the house, climb up a couple of steps outside and more inside. Then, I had to struggle down and back up a flight of stairs to get ice packs from the basement freezer. I elevated my leg, iced the sore areas, texted Roy and Hilary.

Because the pain was

so intense I called HealthLink. When I said I’m osteopenic (the stage before osteoporosis) she suggested a visit to emergency. Roy left the conference to pick me up. He tried to get me to use crutches. Either I don’t have the upper body strength or am just plain stunned, but I couldn’t make them work. At the hospital I used a wheelchair.

Unlike Grey’s Anatomy you can be in a hospital for hours and see virtually no sign of activity.

Yeah, yeah, I understand triage. Eventually, I was x-rayed (and wasn’t that fun—-twisting, turning, holding still). No broken bones, doc says. Why the hell does it hurt so

hard, I say. Soft tissue injury.

Seven and a half hours later, I’m home with two different pain meds using an office chair as my wheelchair. The Fred Flintstone style of propulsion hurt but was all I had until my sister brought me a walker the next afternoon.

Very soon I seethe challenges of accessibility. I call the pharmacy for info. Why two pain meds? Do I take them together or stagger the doses?

(Doesn’t matter.) Is the narcotic one contraindicated because of my sleep apnea? (Did you have shallow breathing or difficulty waking up?

No. Then it’s okay.) A few days in, I find that

Andrew School D.E.A.R. Program keeps students engaged in reading

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)

Mundare town council passes substance abuse policy Michelle Pinon Editor In anticipation of the legalization of marjuana, Mundare town council passed a comprehensive substance abuse policy on April 4.

The following are key point in the policy: Employees under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the job can pose serious safety and health risks both to themselves and their coworkers.

The Town of Mundare strictly prohibits the use of non-prescribed drugs during work hours. The use of alcohol during work hours is prohibited unless approved by the CAO for special events/occasions.

Employees are prohibited from reporting to work while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Some stipulations under the policy include: •Employees who fail to adhere to the above expectations or who engage in illegal activities such as selling/using drugs and/or alcohol while at work will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment and referral to legal authorities.

•Any employee convicted of, or who pleads guilty to any substance-

related offense must inform the Town of Mundare within five (5) days of the conviction or plea. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

In the event of an employee’s conviction or plea to charges relating to the manufacture, possession, sale, use, distribution, receipt, or transportation of any substance, the Town of Mundare will determine whether disciplinary action will be taken, including the appropriateness of continued employment.

Any employee reporting to work visibly impaired will be deemed unfit to perform required duties and will not be allowed to work. The following procedure will apply in such a situation: •The employee’s supervisor will immediately advise the employee to stop work.

•The employee may have to submit to an alcohol and drug test and provide the results of that test to the Town.

The Town will arrange to transport the employee to and from the testing location. Any failure to submit to a test or any attempt to tamper with a test shall be considered equivalent to a positive test result and the Town will determine whether

disciplinary action will be taken, including the appropriateness of continued employment.

•The Town will arrange to transport the employee to his or home. An employee sent home because of impairment will do so without pay.

•Under no circumstances will an impaired employee be allowed to drive. If the employee refuses transportation and makes the decision to drive his or her personal vehicle, the employee must be advised that the Town of Mundare is obligated to and will contact the police to make them aware of the situation.

•The employee’s supervisor shall schedule a meeting for the following work day to review the incident and determine a course of action, which may include a monitored referral program as part of a treatment plan.

Employees are encouraged to communicate to their supervisor that they may be under the influence of over the counter medications that may cause drowsiness or impairment.

In the event that an offduty employee is asked to come in to work, it is

his or her responsibility to refuse the request and ask that the request be directed to another person if the employee is unfit due to the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

The Town of Mundare reserves the right to require its employees to cooperate with inspections of any and all property on its premises for the presence of drugs, alcohol or other contraband.

Employees are encouraged to communicate to the Town that they have a dependency or have had a dependency so that the Town can, to the extent possible, accommodate them.

Employees are not excused from their duties as a result of a dependency.

Any employee who suspects that he/she might have an emerging drug or alcohol problem is expected to seek appropriate treatment promptly.A supervisor of an employee may request an employee submit to an alcohol and drug test if the supervisor has any reasonable grounds to believe that an employee was involved in or contributed to an incident that reasonably could have or did put the safe-

Heartland 101: Heartland gears up for turn around season SUBMTTED ARTICLE Warmer temperatures naturally spark spring fever. With that, comes plans of clean up, maintenance, new projects, and outside activities.

Facilities in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland also take advantage of spring weather. For many companies, spring signals the start of turnaround season and the continuation of construction projects.

Just like your vehicle and home, industrial facilities require regular maintenance to keep them operating safely and efficiently.

Companies schedule turnarounds to decrease or stop production so that certain maintenance tasks can be completed.

Depending on the facility, a turnaround can last as short as a few days, or up to a month or longer.

The work completed during a turnaround involves equipment inspections and, if necessary, repairs, replacements, and technology upgrades. Particularly on older facilities, new technology can improve an operation’s environmental performance and help increase productivity.

Construction and turnarounds generate addi-

tional local spending on goods and services. They also create employment, as extra manpower is required to complete these projects. This added manpower may result in a noticeable increase in traffic on local highways.

Turnarounds may also generate additional noise or visible activity as maintenance work is completed.

Construction activities at North West Redwater Partnership’s Sturgeon Refinery site will be ongoing throughout 2017. Companies with planned turnarounds this year include: Spring Mar/Apr/May • Evonik •Pembina (Inter Pipeline) • Oerlikon Metco

Olympic dreams for promising Andrew skater Michelle Pinon Editor

For Colton Foreman, who skates out of the Andrew Figure Skating Club, this past weekend is one he will never forget.

The young and rising local athlete was fortunate enough to receive a private skating lesson from Kevin Reynolds, one of Canada’s top ranked male figure skaters.

“My private lessons with Kevin was because I was jumping in the wrong position and ruining my jump.

He showed me how to fix what I am doing wrong,” stated Foreman.

Kevin Reynolds Overall, he had a very positive experience at the two-day training seminar at the Claireview Recreation Centre in Edmonton on April 8 and 9. Colton’s mom Janell Yaremie, said Colton’s Coach Abby Kozma was on hand for the training

seminar, and both she and Colton wanted to thank her for her support on and off the ice.

Other aspects of the event included training in proper body and edge positions, and musicality.

Colton is a member of the Skate Canada Junior Development Team, and he will continue to compete

in the pre-juvenile category next season. He wants to improve all of his skating skills, especially spins. “In the 2018/’19 season I plan to be competing in juvenile men. My future goals are to land a quad (jump with four rotations in the air), and compete in the 2022 Winter Olympics.”

Mundare Fire Department to commemorate a century of service to the community Michelle Pinon Editor Members of the Mundare Fire Department will be celebrating a century of service on Saturday, April 22.

Fire Chief Glenda Dales says everything is timed down to the minute for the 100th anniversary gala that will see current and former members come together for the once in a lifetime event. “Our focus for this event is to honour and recognize past and present firefighters, and to show the community they go above and beyond for the community.”

Dales, who has headed the department since 1999 says they currently have 23 members, and are expecting between 20

Dale McCarty

and 30 past members to attend the event. Dales is also thrilled to have the Lt. Governor of Alberta, Lois Mitchell, attend the gala. Mitchell will also be presenting Deputy Chief Dale McCarty with a 40 year exemplary service medal.

“Right now we have 250 years experience in the department,” says Dales, who was not only the first female firefighter in Lamont County, but the only one to have served as fire chief.

Firefighting is in the “family blood” adds Dales, who has several members who have served together. Current examples of this are Sean Brison and his wife Trisha Ming-Brison, their daughter Danika and twin sons Dartanin and Jorestin. Other family pairings include the father-daughter duos of Brian and Cheyenne Sharun and Dwayne and Michaela Hick.

Past examples are the three generations of John Diduck, his sonin-law Leonard Patrie, and his sons Rick and Curtis Patrie; Bill Ollie, his son Dave and Dave’s son Paul. Allan Candy along with son Colin and his son Brian who all served at the same time with the same

department.

“Fire department’s are like a second family, and that family extends worldwide.” Dales has visited over 20 states in the US and several abroad, and they are always willing to open their doors to them.

Dales has been a firefighter for 30 years, and says a lot has changed in that time in terms of training and equipment as well as expectations from the public. “Our level of training has increased.” Even though they are considered volunteer firefighters, they are responsible to keep their training hours and certifications up to date.

“It’s a very hazardous job, and you have to keep on top of things.”

Firefighters are always upgrading their level of training.

“Continued education is critical, and we’re lucky to have the support from the town and county to receive the training that’s available.”

Firefighters also have a myriad of responsibilities, and are “always there for everything and everyone,” as many family gatherings and events have had to be cancelled or postponed when the siren goes off. But there is nothing else they would rather do.

Dales also says a lot of the credit goes to former members who paved the way for them. Prior to 1916, fires were fought in

a haphazard sort of “doit-yourself” way.

According to the local

history book Mr. A Eckel took on the position of fire chief that same year and stayed in that position until 1930.

The first fire apparatus was two hand drawn chemical tank with a 50 foot hose which was activated by acid and soda.

A 1928 Ford truck with a front mount pump was purchased in 1928. Fire trucks have gone from a couple thousand dollars to over $400,000.

Advancements in technology have greatly improved capabilities of both firefighters and the tools and equipment they use on a regular basis.

In 1932 the fire hall was destroyed by fire.

Other significant fires the department faced was the fire of a variety store and pool hall, the Mundare Hotel fire in 2005, and White Farm Equipment 2010.

To date those who have served as fire chiefs of the department include: Mr. A.E. Eckel,

A.B. Lesnik, John Diduck, Ignace Hawryuk, Marshall

Lamont Bull-A-Rama Supreme pits man against beast Michelle Pinon Editor

The countdown to the 24th annual Bull-ARama Supreme is 11 days to go (April 22). “Fans can expect the same world class entertainment that they have come to appreciate over the past 24 years,� says Rebecca Joseph, organizing committee chair. “We will have 30 of the wildest bulls in Alberta take on 30 of the toughest cowboys in Canada,� states Joseph. “The event is once again sanctioned by the Bull Riders of Canada, who are a highly reputable association in the industry.�

While seasoned fans may be aware, Joseph advises any newcomers to dress for the weather. “We are a go rain or shine.� In fact, the

weather turned out in the ag. society’s favour last year, the first time the event was held outdoors at the Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds. “The community’s support of our event last year was overwhelming, as we had a record turn out, despite the snow!�

She went on to say, “This year we are preparing the same way, and are hoping that our supporters dress warmly in the event of the same weather. We had plans to create our bleachers to be covered, however, it is a significant financial investment to do it, and we have been unable to secure the funding necessary for the project.�

No matter what Mother Nature has in store, action will begin at 7 p.m. Before that, fans

Rebecca Joseph can come for supper anytime after 5 p.m. and visit until the chutes open. After the cowboys and bulls are done, there will be time for more socializing and dancing in the dirt with headliner Kory Wlos after 9 p.m.

Tickets for the main event are available at the Lamont Value Drug Mart, Lamont Home Hardware, Lamont Liquor Store, and Lammle’s Western Wear and Tack in Fort Saskatchewan.

Nearly one in four fatal collisions involves unsafe speeds SUBMITTED ARTICLE

Speeding facts

Driving even a few kilometres over the posted speed limit can reduce your ability to deal with circumstances you may not expect and lessens the effectiveness of seatbelts and other safety devices such as airbags and side impact beams.

• Between 2010 and 2014, 451 people in Alberta were killed and 11,753 were injured in collisions involving unsafe speed.

• Motor vehicle collisions were the second leading cause (after falls) of head injury hospital admissions.

• In the past 10 years, there was an average of 1,274 convictions each year for speeding more than 50 km/h over the speed limit.

• Motorists must slow to 60 km/h, or less if the posted speed is lower, when in an adjacent lane passing emergency vehicles or tow trucks

“The faster you are driving, the less time you have to react to anything unexpected. Safe speed is an important aspect of traffic safety, along with safe vehicles, safe road users and safe infrastructure. We all share the responsibility to prevent injuries and deaths on Alberta’s roadways,” stated Transportation Minister Brian Mason.

stopped with their lights flashing. Fines for speeding in these circumstances double.

• A vehicle travelling at 50 km/h takes 37 metres to stop, while one moving at 110 km/h needs 126 metres to stop, nearly three times the distance.

“The consequences of speeding can be devastating and it’s just not worth it. Speed limits exist because they save lives. Even the best of drivers won’t be able to react to potential hazards on the road when travelling at higher speeds. Drivers need to respect the speed limits and drive according to traffic and weather conditions to make sure everyone gets home safely” pointed out Insp. Steve Daley, Acting OIC Traffic Services, Alberta RCMP K Division.

Demerits for speeding range from two points (exceeding the posted limit by less than 15 km/h) to six points (exceeding the posted limit by more than 50 km/h). Fines for speeding also double when workers are present in construction zones. This includes workers on or near the road who are operating heavy equipment or doing other work in the construction zone.
