RCMP Special Tactical Operations members put their boots to the ground in search of missing Mundare woman
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Members of the RCMP Alberta Special Tactical Operations (STO) team were scouring the streets of Mundare in search of 44-year-old Deanna MacNeil, a resident of Mundare that was last seen by friends the evening of Nov. 28. To date, pleas for the public’s assistance has not resulted in locating her whereabouts. Michelle Pinon Editor
"You prepare for the worst and hope for the best." Those were some of the words spoken by RCMP Cst. Grant Kneller, who along with 17 other members of the Special Tactical Operations (STO) team were searching for 44-year-old Mundare resident Deanna MacNeil who has not been seen since Nov.28, 2013. There were boots on the ground and hands in the snow as they walked over every square inch of the town Jan. 10 and 11. Using shovels and rakes, along with their specialized knowledge and training meticulously searched for clues that would hopeDeanna fully lead to her whereabouts. Members began working shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday, starting in the areas of higher probability, and going from there. "Given she's such a small lady, there are lots of place she could hide." MacNeil stands 5'5" tall, weighs 125 lbs., and has hazel eyes and long brown hair. With the amount of snow cover, Cst. Kneller, said it would be quite the challenge to comb all the streets and avenues, back alleys, and yards in the community; but added that members were up for the challenge, during an interview at the Mundare Recreation Centre where the operational command centre was located.
"There are a lot of backyards that don't have fences so we'll have to expand the scope of the search," added Cst. Kneller. But by the end of the day he was pleased with the progress team members had made, and were ready to go out in full force again Sunday. Rest assured, they would leave no stone unturned, pointed out Cst. Kneller. "We want to bring her back to her family." But as the search ended on day two, MacNeil had not been found. Even though they did not find anything concrete, Cst. Kneller said people should not give up hope as any information "no matter how small" could lead to a break in the case. All of the information that was compiled during the search will now be passed onto MacNeil the general investigation section in Edmonton. Any further information from the public can be directed to the Vegreville RCMP or Crimestoppers. Last year, STO had 39 deployments throughout the province, noted Cst. Kneller. Members have been sent out in search of missing people, crime scene evidence and security detail, and as a tactical troop to maintain public order. A couple of assignments included assistance during the strike at Lakeside Packers in Brooks, helping flood victims in and around High River, and most recently during an attempted murder investigation near Milk River.

From Where I Sit: Good For The Soul
By Hazel Anaka
It’s no secret that this winter has been intense. I, for one, am sick of it. It’s demoralizing to have
to deal with snow, rain, wind, black ice, drifting, whiteouts, and frigid temps; sometimes all in the same day. The twenty and thirty degree temperature fluctuations from one day to the next keep us off kilter. I consider Edmonton my city because of proximity, media and the fact I lived, attended college and worked there, oh so many years ago. Yet despite all the urgings coming from Edmonton to embrace ‘our’ winter city status and get out there to enjoy the season, if I can stay inside, I will.
I hate being cold and don’t at all miss the old days of chores when we had cattle. I don’t miss freezing my butt off in hockey arenas, though with four-year-old Grady on a team in Sherwood Park, that’s likely coming full circle. During the lull between Christmas and New Year when I couldn’t work because no one else was, I spent several days hunkered down in the house hiding from the brutal weather. Lest you think I spent the time lying around watching reality TV and
New agriculture opportunities Premier Alison Redford signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Sunday with the State of Meghalaya, India that will provide new opportunities for Alberta agricultural producers. The MOU supports an immediate increase in the sale of livestock genetics from Alberta to Meghalaya and facilitates further trade and cooperation on food processing and safety and on products such as canola, pulses and agriculture machinery. “This region of India has a population of more than 40 million - that’s more than Canada’s pop-
ulation - and it holds huge opportunities for Alberta agriculture producers. In particular, this means Alberta’s innova-
eating bonbons, let me set the record straight. My days were far more satisfying. Oh yes. I sorted through and organized my sewing supplies. Will I miss the old Butterick and Simplicity patterns? Uh, no. Will I suddenly begin doing more than replacing a button or hemming some pants? Probably not. Yet there is something so incredibly satisfying about chucking out broken stuff, sorting spools of thread by colour, grouping like with like. I also tackled my jewelry making supplies and made order out of chaos. Naturally, I had to make a few necklaces. There was a lot of sat-
isfaction in cleaning up my toolbox and grouping all the odds and ends left over from every construction project we’ve tackled in the last umpteen years. Now all the wood dowels, mirror clips, finishing nails, marrettes, washers, nuts and assorted ephemera are together. Even I’m not anal enough to sort all the screws and bolts by size and function. With small investments of time I’ve been able to reorganize my Christmas déécor items and bring order to a shelf full of tote bags. I even went through all the recyclable bags and came up with a pile to donate to Goodwill. Flipping
through a stack of magazines for recipes, scarf tying directions or health tips reduced more clutter. I’ve gone through each drawer in the bathroom vanity. What is the payoff for powering through these mindless and boring tasks? Handling my stuff reminds me of what I have. If I no longer need it, I let it go. I love the tactile and the colourful. I love re-purposing things. Doing this in tiny snippets of time feels more like fun than work and makes what could be a monumental and onerous job doable. It might even be good for the soul from where I sit.

So sad, too bad When I arrived home Friday evening from work my 15-year-old son asked what I had been working on? I gave him the run down. One of the stories I was covering was about the flu outbreak. So as I started to go into detail he blurted out, "So there's an outbreak of the flu, but no vaccine." There was a mixture of surprise and sarcasm in his voice. To him, the situation seemed nonsensical, and I would hazard a guess that he is not alone in his thinking. I liken it to promoting an event, inviting guests, and then telling them to go home after they've arrived because the event has been cancelled. Soon after our conversation, I spotted a letter that was sent home with him beside his backpack. The letter, signed by Christopher Sikora, (lead medical officer of health), dated Jan. 9, stated: "Healthy children with mild infections usually do not need to be routinely tested for influenza. Individuals with symptoms consistent with influenza, who have chronic medical conditions or who are pregnant, may wish to seek medical advice about early treatment. The letter also stated that Alberta is currently experiencing increased rates of illness due to seasonal influenza, predominantly being caused by the H1N1 Influenza-A virus. "Across Alberta, there have been over 1,400 lab confirmed cases, along with nine deaths. This strain is known to cause more illness in younger individuals, compared to older adults. Influenza can cause respiratory illness and easily be spread from person to person through coughing and contact with contaminated secretions from the nose and mouth. The letter went on to give the following information and tips: *Influenza caused illness is characterized by fever, cough, aches, runny nose and tiredness that usually lasts for four to six days; *Influenza can be spread to others when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can survive on surfaces for variable length of time; *Do not send your child to school if he/she is ill; *If your child is ill, please keep him/her at home until symptoms (cough, fever, tiredness) have been absent for a full 24 hours; *Ensure that your child and others in your household perform hand hygiene frequently by washing their hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand rub; *Promote and remind your child and family members to practice respiratory hygiene; *Clean surfaces that are frequently touched such as door knobs, light switches and bathroom taps. So now I'll go home and breathe a little easier, and keep my dispenser of Lysol disinfecting wipes handy. Michelle Pinon

Health Services could use changes in vaccination procedures - McDonald Michelle Pinon Editor
Lamont resident Sylvia McDonald was one of several parents who made their way in and out of the local public health centre Friday. She was there to have her young son Julian receive the influenza vaccine. McDonald said she had originally booked an appointment for late November, but due to medical reasons had to postpone it until Jan. 14. The appointment was moved up to Jan. 10, due to the shortage of vaccine. While staff have done their best to accommodate local residents, McDonald said there needs to be changes to the health system and how vaccinations are handled in terms of supply and demand management. "First they (Alberta Health Services) scare everyone with statistics. They send out information to get people to have the shots, and then they were not prepared for the number of people who wanted it (flu vaccine)."
The availability and accessibility for people in rural communities, was also raised during a discussion as some residents do not have the means to travel to Edmonton to receive the flu shot. Dr. Digby Horne, one of three medical officer's of health for the central zone, said the mass clinics that operated last week was due to public interest. A statement health minister Fred Horne was later issued in regards to the outbreak, and details of mass clinics and locations published on the AHS website and through public service announcements. According to Dr. Horne, more than $1.2 million Albertans were immunized this past year, more people being vaccinated than nearly any other year. As of Jan. 11 at 4 p.m. all influenze immunization clinics were closed in the central zone, and no other clinics will be held this season. "Some doses of vaccine have been reserved for children who have
received first doses of influenza vaccine this season, and required a second dose. Children under the age of nine who are receiving seasonal influenza vaccine for the first time this season require two doses this season to be fully protected." "There have been 1,708 confirmed cases of influenza A," stated Horne. "You have to remember some people who are sick are not tested." He added that people can be infected but not realize it. To date, there have been 390 hospitalizations compared to 742 last year, noted Horne. "H1N1 is the predominant strain this year. It has resulted in more hospitalizations of adults between the ages of 20 to 60 than was the case last year." There have been eight deaths this year as compared to 37 last year. "The average immunization rate is 20 per cent. This year the rate is 25 per cent." As to effectiveness, Horne said the vaccine is 70 per cent effective in healthy people and 30 per cent effective
in the elderly. The flu season is estimated to peak later this month, and goes to about April. For those people that are unprotected, Dr. Horne says they can use hygene measures such as coughing into a sleeve, washing hands with soap and warm water often, as well as staying at home from work or school until the symptoms are resolved and they have no fever for 24 hours. As far as local pharmaces Mundare Guardian Pharmacy did offer flu shots, but the Value Drug Mart in Lamont did not. Mundare manager Dawn Kowal said they ran out of the vaccine early last week, and there were several people phoning or dropping by for appointments. "Some people weren't aware of the shortage, and were surprised they couldn't get one." The Value Drug Mart did supply information regarding the local flu clinics this past fall for customers, and there were only a few inquiries this past week.
Sylvia and Julian McDonald According to Jeff Whisselll, director of pharmaceutical practice with the Alberta P h a r m a c i s t s ' Association, there was about an 85 per cent increase in vaccinations at pharmacies in the province over last year. "One-third of Albertans (315,000) received vaccine from pharmacies.
"Between 60 to 65 per cent of pharmacies are certified to give injections," pointed out Whissell. He expects the number of customers who want flu shots to rise in the coming year because of the convenience and accessibility of drug stores in the province.
Residents throughout the Village of Andrew captured the spirit of Christmas and enjoyed a festive tour. Above is Barry and Darlene Sydor’s home. Other winners were; Stan and Sally Cholak, and Kevin Lastiwka.

Co-op scholarship helps build young careers in agriculture Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Wild Rose Co-op, along with Federated Co-op, say they can help students grow a career through their Excellence in Ag Program. The program includes a scholarship up to $20,000, summer internships, and opportunity for future employment to four students in Western Canada pursuing a post-secondary education in agriculture or business. “For these students, the financial benefit is
a $20,000 scholarship,” said Ron Healey, Federated Co-operatives Limited Associate Vice-President, Ag and Home. “But equally important is the opportunity to secure meaningful, relevant summer internships where they can apply their classroom knowledge to an everyday working environment.” Rachael Verwey is a first-year agriculture student at the University of Manitoba. She was one of four students selected in
2013, the first year of the program. “I would like to say thanks to the Co-op because this is a huge deal,” she said when accepting her award. “I have my career set up for me now; I don’t have anything to worry about.” Verwey said she had been unsure what she wanted to do after completing her post-secondary education, whether to return to the farm or do something else. For her, the program has provided some clarity and direction for what
was an uncertain future. In order to qualify for the scholarship, students must be entering or already enrolled in a diploma or degree program at an accredited postsecondary institution. Information and applications can be picked up at either Wild Rose location; the Sedgewick Service Centre, or the new Viking Ag. Centre. The deadline for applications for the 2014/15 Excellence in Ag program is the end of January.

Raising your self-esteem - let it be your goal to start off the new year Gwen Randall-Young “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire Universe, deserve your love and affection.” - Buddha Self-esteem is a measure of how much we value and appreciate ourselves. Undoubtedly our childhood experiences have a major impact on this attribute. We may have received negative messages, or given ourselves nega-
tive messages as a result of our experience or how we were treated. So, we can arrive at adulthood not feeling very good about ourselves. This can block us from achieving the success we desire, or alternatively, can prevent us from acknowledging the success we have created. Once we become adults, our self-esteem is our responsibility. We can no longer blame others for how we feel about ourselves. We
must decide to ‘esteem’ ourselves; to hold ourselves in high esteem in our own minds. In order to do this, we must become aware of the criticisms and judgments we make of ourselves. Then we must commit to stop abusing ourselves in this manner.

HOW TO ELIMINATE YOUR HEATING BILL
right person. We need to eliminate all conditions we have placed on our worthiness. Finally, we must be independent of the good opinion of others. We can decide to value ourselves regardless of what others may say or feel about us.
When these things have been accomplished, we can begin to like ourselves more. We can even start to love ourselves. With this, self-esteem takes a big leap forward. Gwen Randall-Young is an author and award-winning Psychotherapist.

Weatherford friends flock together during annual Lamont Novice Hawks Hockey Tournament
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
Members of the Lamont Hawks Novice team include: (back row left to right), Kade Dickinson, Ethan Weleschuk, Dakota Stevenson, Mason Oshust, Rachael Leamon, Carver Johnson and Masie Andruchow. Front row left to right: Weatherford representative Conrad Weleschuk, Jacob Shiach, Dylan Onushko, J’Lyn Derksen, goalie Konnor Kalbfleisch and Devon MacKinnon. Missing is player Jaxon Burant, head coach Chad Dickinson, and assistant coaches Donny Weleschuk, Mike Burant and Cory Oshust, and manager Melissa Shiach. Michelle Pinon Editor
There were many memorable moments during the Lamont Hawks Novice Tournament Jan. 11 and 12. One of the highlights was going undefeated. The other highlight was beating the Fort Saskatchewan Fury which had former teammate Elizabeth McPhillamey in the line up. “The highlight for us was playing the Fort Fury all girls team,” said Darlene Onushko. They faced off during the Hawks final game of the round robin tournament early Sunday morning. “The Fury started off by scoring the first goal, which sent the stands a roaring, then Lamont came back and tied it up, but those girls were not going to let them walk all over them, and they came back to score five goals,” stated Onushko. The final score was 8-5 Hawks, but Onushko said the Fury definitely gave them a run for their money. “It was also bittersweet playing them as one of the Fury’s teammates, Elizabeth McPhillamey played with our novice
team last year, so Lamont was excited yet nervous to play a former teammate.” The biggest highlight was sporting special edition jerseys and socks which were supplied by Weatherford during the two day tourney. In kind, Onushko and team manager Melissa Shiach presented Conrad Weleschuk with a framed and personally autographed photo on behalf of all the team members and coaches, following their final game. Weleschuk, the area manager for production systems, was happy to receive the momento, and for the company to be able to support a local community organization. “We moved into Bruderheim this past year and we wanted to get involved in the community.” Weleschuk said he was glad to see the monies going directly to a local non-profit organization and used for a specific purpose. There’s no doubt the special edition jerseys and socks were worn with pride, and will be a wonderful keepsake in the years to come.
The Lamont Novice Hawks final game was a high scoring affair with the host team downing the Fort Saskatchewan Fury by a score of 8-5.
Team manager Melissa Shiach shakes the hand of Weatherford’s Conrad Weleschuk, while Darlene Onushko looks on.
Now open in Bruderheim. Proud to be a part of the Community.

Mundare Library to host Family Literacy Day Michelle Pinon Editor
Families will be at the forefront once again during literacy day celebrations in Mundare on Jan. 25. Hosted by the Lamont County Library Board, the annual event will be held in the Mundare Library from 1-3:30 p.m. The theme is “Fifteen Minutes of Fun,” and librarian Miranda Peyton has a number of activities up her sleeve. There will be some magic, story telling, crafts, balloon animals, activity centres, refreshments and goody bags for all participants. Peyton says there will be something for everyone to enjoy. As well, there will be several raffles throughout the afternoon.
“We’re not only trying to promote family literacy in general, but we want to bring ideas to these families.” Peyton has lots of suggestions and advice to offer, and is hoping for a good turn out to pass them along. Peyton says Family Literacy Day is also a good opportunity to promote the programs and services the library has to offer. “We’re hoping to bring new members in.” One of the drawing cards is being a member of the Northern Lights Library System. “Now we can get books from all over the province,” adds Peyton. She can access audio, e-reader as well as hard and soft cover books from librairies and universities throughout Alberta. Whether you live intown or out-of-town, Peyton says you can join
the library. Rates are very reasonable. The yearly rates are: $25 per family, $10 per adult, $5 per child, and $7 per senior citizen. Some of the programs offered at the library include monthly bedtime stories and good reads club. Besides some books, the programs offer the opportunity for people to learn and grow together. “It’s a great way of getting to know other people,” says Peyton, who encourages one and all to attend Family Literacy Day in Mundare. Lamont County Community Adult Learning Council has Theresa Warawa, Lamont County Library Board member, (left), and Mundare donated an Easy Bake Librarian Miranda Peyton hold a couple of the great books available for reading. Oven and Scrable Game as door prizes for the event, adds Peyton, who is hoping for a great crowd that Sunday afternoon.

Lamont Old Gold hockey team sporting new jerseys thanks to local sponsorship Andrew Hotel Presents

Members of the Lamont Old Gold are sporting bright new jerseys, and couldn’t be happier about their bright new look thanks to a local farm equipment supplier. Member Larry Koziak said that when they approached Tim Nimchuk at the Lamont Farm Centre if they would like to sponsor roughly $2,500; Nimchuk said, “The answer yes from management came faster than the time it took to explain the question.” Koziak, along with fellow members Dave Taylor and Blaine Bernicki, were on hand at the Lamont Farm Centre on Jan. 8 to show their appreciation and presented Nimchuk with an extra hockey jersey to keep and a thank you card that all the players signed. “We’re very apprecia-
tive to the Lamont Farm Centre for supporting the jerseys,” stated Koziak. The bright gold home jerseys are definitely eye catching and members say an unusual colour from the norm. This is the 39th year the Lamont Old Gold have been in operation. They play between 30 to 35 games a season and have players who range in age from early 20’s to early 50’s. Members play between two to three games a week in the 10 team league, and enjoy the physical as well as the social aspects of the sport. Home games are Thursday evenings at 8 p.m. and members always enjoy hearing from the fans. One of the highlight’s of the season is the annual Valentine’s Cup that takes place between Feb. 14 and 16. Members say the tournament is a great way to get reacquainted with former hockey buddies and play with some family

members. Since the tournament is non-competitive, it is a great chance to simply enjoy the game for what it is. In many ways the tournament is a bit of a reunion of sorts, and members are expecting to put on a big splash when Old Gold turns 40 next year. Team members are hoping to find a sponsor for new visitor jerseys in the future, but wanted to stop and thank the Lamont Farm Centre for making the new home jerseys a reality.

Lights at the intersection of the Whitetail Crossing residential subdivision and Highways 855/15 have been installed and are expected to be operational by Jan. 31.

Whitetail Crossing intersection lights ready for hook up Michelle Pinon Editor
Lights at the intersection to Whitetail Crossing subdivision in Mundare are expected to be up and running by Jan.31. Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla said two lights were installed, one on the east side, and one on the west side of the highway. “Unfortunately, due to some misunderstanding and miscommunication, the installation of the power lines was delayed. That has been straightened out and the power for the lights should be provided by the end of January.” The project was tendered back in the spring and the need arose from safety concerns of local residents. “We have received concerns about the safety of the intersection, especially at night.” Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus said, "Changes made to the entrance at the Whitetail Crossing Development in Mundare, have certainly improved the safety of residents that use this intersection daily. Now there are deceleration and acceleration lanes plus speed zones signs that have reduced vehicular velocity through the area. Once the two new lights are connected, the intersection will be brighter and should clearly indicate that drivers need to wait until they leave the zone before accelerating to full highway speed."

Each year the Bruderheim Moravian Church has a Christmas Eve collection. This year the church has again chosen the Breakfast for Learning Program at Bruderheim School as the recipient. Principal Sven Danzinger said,"This is an amazing donation, and we are blessed to be the recipients of the goodwill of the Church and its members. The Breakfast program has been used by at least 50 per cent of students at one point or another. On a daily basis we can have up to 20 students who have breakfast at school. said Principal Sven Danzinger. This is a vital service that helps students. We could not do this without the dedication of a caring group of volunteers led by Michelle Thompson said Principal Sven Danzinger.
