Murders at Chipman Gunfire heard by resident
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Fort Saskatchewan RCMP members as well as investigators with RCMP K Division were on the scene of suspicious deaths at a Chipman residence at 47 Ave and 48 Street Monday morning around 9 am. Michelle Pinon Editor
Rose Frobel, who lives beside the home of where a double homicide took place late Sunday evening in Chipman, said she was in bed around 11 p.m. when she heard a “loud bang.” Within the span of 15 minutes, Frobel said she heard three more shots and another bang. When she opened the front door police were cordoning off the street. “I asked if everything was ok, and she (RCMP officer) said to lock her door and stay in the house. She also asked if someone had been killed, and the officer replied yes. Frobel said she had a difficult relationship with the neighbours, beginning when her and her husband hired the tenants’ son to do some yardwork, but things “turned sour” after some
damage was caused to their fence. Frobel said the tenant never took responsibility for the damages, and no repairs were done. She also spoke to the landlord, but no action was taken by them either. Frobel said things continued to erode and then she started to receive verbal threats. Those threats included physical harm and even to kill her. “I couldn’t walk our in the yard,” said Frobel, who feared for her life. “We were terrified. We are senior citizens and we feared for our safety.” Frobel said she felt they were watching their every move, and could strike out at any time, which was even more disconcerting since she had seen one of the tenants brandishing a shotgun after a neighbouring dog had come onto that property. Frobel documented all of the incidents as rec-
ommended, and had made formal complaints to the Fort Saskatchwan RCMP. She even met in person with three police officers after a drawing of a penis was found on their car window on November 1. While Frobel said police agreed the threats bordered on criminal harrassment, unless there was proof or someone was caught in the act, they could not lay charges. Frobel calls the shooting terrifying, senseless,
and heartbreaking for the victims and their families. She also believes there was a failure of the justice system as more could not be done by police to prevent this tragedy. “The justice system needs to change.” She also wondered if mental health was a factor, and if something could have been done in that regards to changes to the mental health act. Police have not confirmed victims or perpetrators’ names.
Chipman, Alberta – At 11:28 p.m. last night, (Sunday, April 2), Fort Saskatchewan RCMP were dispatched to a 911 report of suspicious deaths at a residence in Chipman, Alberta. Two adult males were located at the residence, deceased. One male suspect has been taken into police custody and the RCMP can confirm that they are treating this incident as a homicide. RCMP Major Crimes Unit have assumed carriage of this investigation with assistance of Fort Saskatchewan RCMP and the Forensic Identification Section. One adult male remains in police custody. The RCMP do not believe that this is a random event and do not feel that there is a further risk to public safety. An autopsy has been scheduled at the Edmonton Office of the Medical Examiner for today, Tuesday, April 4. This investigation is in its preliminary stages and more information will be made available when RCMP are able. According to an article in the Edmonton Journal, “Chipman resident Angie Thurston first heard gunshots just before midnight on Sunday. She initially thought it was a farmer shooting at a coyote. They do, after all, live in a rural farming community (about 60 km east of Edmonton) where the sounds of gunshots are not uncommon. But soon after the first shots shattered the silence, Thurston and her husband Tim Murphy, who were watching TV at the time, heard another round of gunfire. “I wasn’t too concerned because we’ve heard gun shots before and then I heard four to five gun shots go off at one time,” said Thurston Monday morning. “I thought, ‘that’s not a farmer, that’s not a coyote’.” Murphy went out into the backyard to investigate further when he heard someone screaming. He immediately called 911 and the dispatcher told him to get his family into the basement and to stay away from windows. Mounties were called to the home at 11:28 p.m. Sunday for a report of suspicious deaths. Murphy, Thurston and their two children — a three year old and a six month old — raced downstairs where they waited 45 minutes before returning upstairs. “I feel safe here. I don’t feel scared living here but after this, it’s scary,” she said. “You think a place is safe and quiet and apparently not.”

Culture Club celebrates First Nations, Metis and Inuit traditions By Yelena Cartagena and Violet Stahn LES JUNIOR NEWS CLUB Making bannock bread, weaving dream catchers, and constructing model teepees are just some of the activities you will find the Lamont Elementary Culture Club busy with during their recess meetings.
Mr. Cunningham set up the Culture Club because “the staff wanted to get a group of students together to share and learn about their First Nations, Metis and Inuit Culture�. The Culture Club was also started at Lamont Elementary School because we wanted to recognize that we are on Treaty Six Land.
During our meetings, we talk about our First Nations and Metis culture, we read traditional stories and we also write stories about our own background. One of first projects was to make bannock. We mixed flour, milk, and oil together, we stirred it, shaped the dough into rounds and baked it in the oven. We ate it with

butter and jam and it tasted really good. Another project was to make dreamcatchers. Dreamcatchers protect the sleeping person from nightmares by catching the dream in the protective net. Only good dreams will pass through and gently slide down the feathers to the sleeping child. Mr. Cunningham showed us how to weave the thread through the holes in the circle to make a cool star in the middle. We added beads and feathers. They turned out really cool. Two weeks ago we made teepee models and decorated them with aboriginal designs. National Aboriginal Month is in June and we are planning some special events for the school community to celebrate our heritage.

Susie passed away peacefully at home with loving family by her side. Her love of life, family and friends, and her passion for a good party were in full display as we gathered to celebrate her 90th birthday only last week. Susie loved to be busy cooking, gardening, entertaining, helping with family, and at the yoga studio where she delighted everyone with her soup, baking, cheerful spirit and helping hands. Susie spent 90 years loving people. She nourished many long and enduring friendships with people from the old country, Lamont, neighbours, extended family and her beloved children, grandchildren and new great grand daugther. She will be forever
missed by her three children; Emil (Liv), Garry (Jan) and Christel (Marvin) and seven grandchildren, Tyler, Trevor, Cody, Amberlee, Kaitlin, Kyle and Kerra and great granddaughter Clarke.

Opinion Letter to the Editor Despite Notley’s claim, climate science is not settled Dear Editor, You’d never know it by watching the mainstream media, or by listening to Alberta’s government, but the truth is that there are scientists and academics all over the world who refute much of what’s being said by climate alarmists about a pending disaster brought on by the use of fossil fuel. Freeman Dyson is a Princeton-based physicist considered by many to be one of the more brilliant men on the planet. He has been referred to as Einstein’s successor. Dyson said: “The idea that global warming is the most important problem fac-
ing the world is nonsense.” He says the computer models that alarmists base their fears upon have already proven themselves unreliable, therefore “it makes very little sense to believe the output.” Ivar Giaever, a physicist with a Nobel Prize, says climate alarmism is pseudoscience. He compares the actions of global warming alarmists to a very early era of the Catholic church, back when it was strictly forbidden to even ask a question. In his own words, Giaever says: “Global warming has become a new religion. We frequently hear about the number of scientists
The Lamont Leader welcomes your opinions!
who support it. But the number is not important; only whether they are correct is important. The facts are that in the last 100 years... temperatures [have] gone up 0.8 degrees C and everything in the world has gotten better. So how can [we] say it’s going to get worse when we have the evidence? We live longer, [have] better health, and better everything. But if it goes up another 0.8 degrees C we are going to die, I guess.” Princeton scientist William Happer, former director of the U.S. Energy Department’s Office of Science, agrees with Giaever. Happer pointedly says that the
supposed horrors alarmists attribute to increased carbon dioxide is “pure belief disguised as science.” Happer says that the optimum level for CO2 on the planet is roughly 2½ times what it is now, pointing to the fact that past CO2 levels have been as much as ten times higher than they are today. Rather than being pollution, he says, CO2 is plant food, which is why professional greenhouses add vast quantities of it to their nurseries. Solar physicist Dr. Pål Brekke, a senior advisor to the Norwegian Space Centre, says: “Anyone claiming the debate on
global warming is over and the conclusions firm has a fundamentally unscientific approach to one of the most momentous issues of our time.” Climate alarmists seeking carbon taxes and political action hurl accusations of “denial” at unconvinced scientists or anyone else who dares question their orthodoxy. They also cite fanciful claims about a supposed scientific consensus on global warming. Yet even in making such rash claims, they ignore the fact that real science has nothing whatsoever to do with consensus. Consensus is the language of politics. Real science speaks the lan-
guage of evidence and observable facts. The reality is that anytime we hear a climate alarmist or politician throw the word “denier” at someone, what we’re actually seeing is an attempt to avoid debate. Alarmists claim that climate science is settled, yet they avoid discussing the hard reasons and evidence. For these climate alarmists and their ideological allies, accusing someone of “denial” is their way of telling thoughtful people— including world-class academics and scientists—to shut up.

From Where I Sit: In the Meantime
By Hazel Anaka It will come as no surprise that I love words. From a behaviour perspective, that means I’m a dedicated reader. It also explains why I’ve collected words for as long as I can remember. If some piece or para-
graph, some book or story, some cartoon or poster said something brilliant or funny chances are, I saved it. I also maximize my driving (or is that reading?) time by listening to audio books. Because I love a deal, I end up buying at a thrift store or library discard sale. That’s led to a disparate selection of material. One of my newest acquisitions is Debbie Macomber’s One Perfect Word. I love, love, love it and its premise. I’ve since bought a used paper copy. According to her website bio, Debbie Macomber is a #1 New
York Times bestselling author with more than 200 million copies of her books in print worldwide. She uplifts her readers with stories of connection and hope. In addition to fiction, she’s published two bestselling cookbooks, an adult coloring book, numerous inspirational and nonfiction works, and two acclaimed children’s books. Her Cedar Cove books led to a TV series; her Christmas books to five Hallmark Channel movies. She also has a café and gift shop. She’s no slouch. Her faith in a God-focused life is no secret and
underlies the premise of the book. More than twenty years ago, she decided to select one (perfect) word to focus on for an entire year. This book covers fourteen such words. They are biggies: Desire, Believe, Hunger, Trust, Brokenness, Seek, Surrender, Wisdom, Hope, Passion, Purpose, Balance, Prayer, and Obedience. She begins with a quote from scripture and the dictionary definition of her chosen word. The chapter typically includes journal entries, a prayer, and a story or two. She includes advice on choosing one’s word.
In the section called Wordplay, she suggests tangible ways of having fun with the selected word: design a greeting card with the word, carve your word into a paperweight or doorstop, find a talisman that reminds you of your word, get a charm with the word for your bracelet, create a stepping stone for your garden, scrapbook about your word, work your word into a quilt, stencil your word on your wall, create a Christmas ornament, do an altered book. Naturally, I too wanted a word. My first impulse because I’m starting so

I began with brainstorming a list. After a few days of reflection I chose FREE. It had possibilities as both a verb and an adverb. I started to play with a sketchbook. Yet, just a week later, I changed it to KINDNESS. As I see where this focus takes me over the year, I’ll report back. In the meantime, I hope you choose your own one perfect word, from where I sit.

Alberta Agriculture and Forestry launches online survey Albertans have the opportunity to share ideas about the future of provincial and national agriculture programs through an online survey. Alberta is working with the federal government, other provinces and territories to develop a new five-year agricultural policy framework to replace the current Growing Forward 2 agreement, which expires on March 31,
2018. “Negotiating the next agriculture policy framework with the federal government is an important conversation about how we can support our sector, our rural communities, and our producers. It’s important that we hear from producers and other stakeholders so that we can craft an agreement that supports sustainable growth and makes life better for
Alberta producers and their communities. When agriculture succeeds, rural Alberta succeeds.” Oneil Carlier, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry The online survey is open to all Albertans, but will be of particular interest to those in the agriculture sector. The survey includes discussion about key priorities such as: • markets and trade • science, research and
What Kind of Vehicle Do You WANT?
innovation • risk management • environmental sustainability and climate change • value-added agriculture and agrifood processing • public trust Agriculture sector representatives will also be
able to provide input during a series of four consultation roundtables being held over the next few weeks. When completed, the Growing Forward 2 agreement will have invested more than $400 million in strategic programs aimed at assisting
producers, processors and value-added agribusinesses in advancing Alberta’s agriculture, agri-food and agri-based sectors. The survey is open until May 8, 2017.

Bruderheim Pharmacy signs five year lease New business slated to open in mid-May Michelle Pinon Editor
Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch couldn’t wait to share the news that a pharmacist will be moving into the Downtown Business Centre on Queen Street this spring. In a March 28 Facebook post Hauch said the green light had been given, and to expect a pharmacist to take up residency in the new facility in mid-May. “The day that the pharmacy opens in Bruderheim will be a great day for our residents, and another big step forward in our quest to ensure the long-term sustainability for our community,� said Hauch. “This has been a journey for sure, but we are grateful to our Chief Administrative Officer
Patty Podoborozny and all of the town staff, including our Economic Development Director Doug Sullivan. They have all worked very hard to see this through to completion.â€? Hauch went on to say, “It is also very encouraging to see that folks are willing to invest in our town and that smart business folks are realizing that there is good opportunity for businesses in Bruderheim. So, we are very thankful to the new pharmacist for setting up shop here.â€? Bruderheim Pharmacy owners Mohamed Tonsy and Ehab Mohamed say they were looking for business opportunities in rural communities within a two hour driving distance, which had a good population base, and that Bruderheim fit the bill.Â
Pioneer recognition program enters final year
“Our main objective was to find an area where there is an untapped potential as well as a clear unmet need for medical services and Bruderheim didn't only meet that, but we were also privileged to get into a partnership with the council to better serve the town. Mayor Karl and his team were very cooperative and gave us all the needed information that we required. In addition, they organized different meetings with different stakeholders that will play critical roles in our project. This has encouraged us to go further and invest in having a medical clinic as well (on top of the planned pharmacy). We are currently working collaboratively with the team to recruit a family doctor.� Tonsy is slated to
appear before Bruderheim town coun-
cil at its meeting on Wednesday, April 5
beginning at 7 p.m.
Bruderheim Pharmacy is set to take up residency in the Downtown Business Centre on Queen Street around mid-May.

Every year pioneer families who settled in east central Alberta before 1915 are recognized with a centenary certificate and have the names of their ancestors engraved on the centenary monument at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. Radomir Bilash, who has headed the AlbertaUkraine Genealogical proram since its inception, said this will be the final year, and is urging local residents to attend the last in a series of how to seminars. Tomorrow, April 5 there will be a how to seminar at the Village of Andrew meeting room between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. , and another one will be held on Tuesday, April 11 between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the United Church Hall in Lamont. Topics will focus on: *How to get your ancestors names on the monument *Celebrating 125 years of Ukrainian Settlement in Canada *Family history study methods “In the past, this successful seminar series demonstrated how easy it was to complete a Centenary Pioneer Recognition nomination form, and recognize pioneers who settled in east central Alberta prior to 1915,� stated Bilash. Even though there is no charge to attend the how to seminars, pre-registration is required, and can be made by phone or email. Participants are encouraged to bring laptop computers so it will be possible for them to take part directly. Nominations are due May 1.

There will be more than the thundering sound of horses hooves around the Bruderheim race track this summer. There will be the rumbling of Model T Ford car engines as they go head to head competing against each other and the clock on Saturday, July 29. Organizers are very excited about hosting the event in partnership with the Bruderheim Agricultural Society. “Model T Races are part of Alberta’s history,” says Matt Hotte with Alberta T Racing. Matt, who purchased the former garage and gas station on Queen Street in Bruderheim three years ago, is teaming up with his wife Cassie, his friend Patrick McTague and his wife Carlene, as well as Bill Graham to bring this unique event to the community. Hotte said there will be high speed thrills and fun for the whole family. “It’s going to be a big spectacle,” says Matt, who hopes to attract between 15 to 20 drivers, and hundreds of people to the Bruderheim Ag. Grounds. While Model T Races are popular in southern Alberta, Matt says, people around this area will probably never seen anything
like this. He, and his fellow organizers are wanting to recreate the atmosphere and time period of when Model T Racing was in its heyday. “It’ll be super exciting,” promises Matt. In fact, they will be using the same rules and regulations of the Model T Race Meet that was held on Empire Day, May 24, 1945 at the Edmonton Exhibition Grounds. That event was for the Lions Club of Edmonton and Junior Chamber of Commerce, and offered up a total of $1,000 in cash prizes. In terms of entries, they are open to stock Model T Fords with standard equipment which includes standard gear ratio (10 or 11 tooth pinion accepted), cast iron three-ring pistons, stock values, valve springs, coils, carburetor, bearings, timer, connecting rods, transmission with all bands, standard flywheel and magnets. No auxiliary air valves on intake manifold. Planning of engine block is not permitted. The rules and regulations also specify accepted equipment that are permitted. A complete listing is available on the alberta t racing Facebook site. Time trials are slated for 11:30 a.m. with racing around 1 p.m. There
will be displays and vendors, and Matt says folks will have the opportunity to meet the drivers in the pit area. There will also be a motorcycle and car show, and a pancake breakfast to kick off the fun-filled festivities. Matt says the Bruderheim Ag. Grounds is the ideal venue for the event, and one that can accommodate future growth. He and fellow organizers are impressed with the assistance and support they have received from the Bruderheim Ag. Society and the Town of Bruderheim since they started putting their plan in motion. Sherry Cote, a representative with the Bruderheim Ag. Society, said the board felt confident that this was a good fit for the activities they host on site during the year. “Our current chuckwagon and chariot track at the Bruderheim Ag. Grounds is perfect for their racing venue. We are confident that this will be well attended and probably moving to an annual event that will continue to grow. This is a Canada 150 celebration of heritage, and this is a perfect event with lots of opportunity to experience the past.”

10 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, April 4, 2017
Help is within reach for farmers hit by bad weather total of about 960,000 insured acres were reported in the province as unharvested for the 2016 crop season. That figure compares with an annual average of 23,000 acres for the three years prior to 2016 according to the Agriculture Financial Corporation Services (AFSC) data, the Crown Corporation that supports province’s agriculture through insurance and lending services. A similar situation had to be dealt with back in 2004, but there doesn’t seem to be detailed data
SUBMITTED ARTICLE As the snow keeps melting away, dozens of Alberta farmers, from Red Deer to Grimshaw are faced with a challenge they have to tackle in the days and weeks ahead: They have to get off of their land the crop they couldn’t harvest last fall due to excessive moisture with early snowfall, and seed their acres for the 2017 crop season. The issue of unharvested acres facing the farmers is the most serious for more than a decade: A

with regard to that unlucky harvest season. Alberta’s hard-hit producers are eligible to receive both indemnities and financial support with easy terms under provincially and/or federally funded programs that could come in handy as the seeding season approaches. Wildlife Damage Compensation Program, administered by AFSC, is one of those programs that allow producers to receive compensation for their snowed-under crop if damaged by wildlife. A producer doesn’t have to have an insurance policy to benefit from this program, while certain criteria will apply to the damage assessment. In return for an assessment fee, producers can have their acres inspected by AFSC and find out whether and how much indemnity they might be entitled to due to wildlife excreta from big game (ungulates), waterfowl, bear and upland game birds, but not from mice. A minimum loss of $100 has to be established for eligibility. For those producers who have insured their 2016 crops through AFSC, a simultaneous visit by an inspector for both their wildlife damage assessment and preharvest assessment is recommended by the Corporation if they intend to put their crop to an end use other than
combining it. “Pre-harvest inspections are a requirement to establish the potential production of the crop at the time of the assessment to calculate the indemnity a producer can receive for insurance purchased,� said Daniel Graham, Manager of Financial Analysis at AFSC. “It will help a great deal to speed up inspections if producers know the location and the extent of the damage on their crops,� he added. Graham says, having completed the assessment of more than 1,900 unharvested acre claims so far this year, AFSC inspectors will now shift their focus to pre-harvest and wildlife damage claims, especially in areas where the numbers of claims are particularly high. As for producers who decide to combine their crops for the originally intended use they were insured for, all they need to do is to submit their revised harvested production reports (HPR) to their local AFSC branch offices as soon as combining has been completed. That will ensure any claim can be finalized as soon as possible, AFSC officials say. If unharvested acres are not combined by June 15, AFSC will assess the potential yield and proceed in finalizing any claim. If April weather coop-

erates, producers will have the opportunity to seed their acres for a 2017 crop. Mark Cutts of provincial government’s Ag Info Centre says given the recent temperatures in the province, the danger of the soil remaining frozen after the snow has gone seems to have been pretty much averted. “Now it is going to be a matter of whether those fields will be dry enough to manage those unharvested acres and then move on to next (crop) year,� he said, referring to the possibility of moisture remaining a threat for yet another crop season. While it is still an open question if weather conditions will allow a speedy removal of the 2016 crop and a quick cultivation of land for a 2017 crop and the completion of the seeding
process, for those producers who can’t seed for the next growing season, support is available, as well. Any producer who can’t seed due to adverse weather is entitled to Unseeded Acreage Benefit, which comes under the annual production insurance. To be eligible for the benefit, a producer has to have 2017 annual production insurance with AFSC and acres must be unseeded by June 20 due to excess moisture. Producers will also need to have declared their selection of the crop coverage option and the number of acres to be seeded. And for farmers who have cash flow problems stemming from their unharvested acres, there are some easy credit options, as well.

Researcher to focus on critical analysis of hometown Michelle Pinon Editor
University student and researcher Kyler Zeleny will be putting his hometown under the microscope in the coming months to come as part of his thesis. Zeleny appeared before town council on March 21 to state his intentions for his project. “I’ve been working on my PhD for the past two years, specifically looking at rural communities.” Majoring in Sociology and minoring in Photography, Zeleny stated that he will be looking at Mundare from a critical perspective that will extend from its historical roots all the way up to modern times and analyze rural issues and morality, and crime, bridging history and tradition along with visual data. Zeleny stated his plan to reach out to community members and organizations to collect information and photographs. He added that his research has been approved by the University of Toronto,
and is designed to push boundaries to create better communities. Zeleny also plans to write a book geared for an international audience that will look at rural spaces. “I want to make sure the information is disbursed to a larger audience.” Mayor Charlie Gargus and other members of council offered the names of people in the community who may be of assistance to him, and offered to help spread the word about his project in the town’s monthly newsletter. Even though the name of the town, may or may not be included in his thesis, the information contained it in will be factual. Coun. Frank Rosypal suggested Zeleny name his essay, ‘The Forgotten Town,’ because people don’t think about it. “It’s like a Clockwork Orange type of thing,” added Gargus. Coun. Jaime Burghardt said it will provide a snapshot of reality, and that as far as crime is concerned, it is up in all rural areas, not just in Mundare.
TOWN OF LAMONT 2016 Financial Statements are now available at the Town Office or Town Website www.lamont.ca
TOWN OF MUNDARE FILE PHOTO
Former Mundare resident Kyler Zeleny will be utilizing the local landscape as well as organizations and residents to assist in his research.
