CEO Harold James retires after over 40 years at Lamont Health Care Centre MAUREEN SULLIVAN After over 50 years in the field of medicine Harold James said goodbye to staff, friends and family on June 17, in the Lamont Health Care Centre (LHCC) Courtyard /Healing /Meditation Garden. In his time at LHCC James always had a vision of what rural healthcare should look like, said Kent Harrold, Chair of the Board. “He has always worked toward a goal of complete healthcare being available in one place.” James has worn many hats over the years and was instrumental in many of the upgrades in health care over the years. In the 1970s James looked at the cost of transferring patients from the Auxiliary Hospital to the Acute Hospital in Lamont, a move that required calling for an ambulance, so he suggested building a connecting link between the two. That link paid for itself in a year, reminisced Harrold. He oversaw the amalgamation of the church hospital with the district board of health in 1992. On May 30, 1995 when the hospital burned in a fire, James oversaw the rebuilding of the hospital, setting up the doctors’ offices in the county building and sending long term care patients to stay with the Sisters of Mary Immaculate in Mundare and Willingdon. James played a significant role in the planning and building of Morley Young Manor in 1998 and the replacement of the Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge in 2018. In November of 2003 James initiated the Community Newsletter to inform Lamont County and surrounding area of the services offered at LHCC. He has been the CAO for the Lamont County Housing Foundation since 2005. The LHCC Board is in the process of setting up criteria for a Scholarship in
Harold James with his wife Josie Harold James’ name as a legacy to this humble man. Following are some excerpts from letters submitted with his nomination by Assistant CEO Shahad Bharmal to receive the Alberta Medical Association Medal of Honour 2019 Achievement Award. "Harold James has played a significant role in building and maintaining the exceptional accessible medical services that not only Lamont but the entire region have relied on for over a century," wrote Dr. John G. Sunley, retired MD, Former Medical Superintendent (AMH). "Harold has exemplified what it means to raise the standards of health care across the province. His contributions to the community and to Alberta's health care system are an invaluable legacy of innovation and compassion," wrote former Premier Ed Stelmach, Board Chair of Covenant Health. "Whether it has been his attention to the mundane, his thoughtful guidance, his deep insight or his advocacy for the
vulnerable, he has given of himself generously, thoughtfully and willingly to bring his vision to reality. It is a vision that has enriched the lives of many people and Harold has been the inspiration behind that," wrote Kent Harrold, LHCC Board Chair. James and his wife Josie are looking forward to taking some time off this summer and plan to winter at their family home in St. Lucia. "I have no plans for the immediate future, except sleeping in the first day of retirement. I will re-evaluate my plans come September," laughed James when asked about the future. A man who was always looking to learn more, he spent many years acquiring education. In May of 1968 James immigrated to Canada to work at the Archer Memorial Hospital in Lamont. He career started in 1966 at St. Jude Hospital on his native island of St. Lucia, West Indies. From 1969 to 1975 he earned an Honours in Biological Laboratory Technology in Toronto. In 1971 he returned to St. Lucia work-
ing as a Laboratory Technologist and was appointed as the Assistant Hospital Administrator. In 1973 he earned a World Health Organization Scholarship to attend the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica where he studied and earned a Registered Technologist Certification and a Diploma in Medical Microbiology. In July of 1975 James returned to Archer Memorial Hospital in Lamont becoming Laboratory Supervisor until 1978. Through distance education he earned his Certification in Health Care Administration from the University of Saskatchewan. From 1978 to 1979 James served a brief stint as Administrator & CEO at the Brock Union Hospital in Arcola, Saskatchewan. James returned to Lamont in 1979 at the invitation of Dr. John Sunley (Medical Superintendent of AMH at the time), becoming the Administrator and Chief Executive Officer of AMH. Through distance education he earned a diploma in 1980 and a B.A. in 1983 in Health Services Administration from the Canadian School of Management and by 1989 completed his Master of Science & Administration with Central Michigan University. He is a former Health Services Director/Manager of Health Services Lakeland Regional Health Authority#12. He served as a Board Member on Alberta Labour Health Disciplines Board, initiated Lamont and District Ambulance Services, served on Accreditation Canada, a member of the Canadian & American Colleges of Health Service Executives, Board Director on Catholic Health Association of Alberta and Affiliates and has served as a Commissioner for Oaths in and around Alberta since 2005.

Bruderheim Public Works break-ins launch security changes BY JANA SEMENIUK Theft and vandalism at Bruderheim’s public works yard have prompted changes in the way security is handled for the area. “In five years, our public works yard has been broken into four times” said Bruderheim’s Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny The public works yard, located on the west wide of the town, houses not only bulk water for rural residents and businesses, it also stores equipment utilized by town public works employees. The most recent break-in, approximately two months ago,
cost the town $8,000 not including the insurance deductable. Thieves attained access by driving up to the unsecured gate. Upon breaking the lock off of a storage unit, thieves made off with a chainsaw and weed trimmer as well as various other items. Previous break-ins have seen vehicles stolen as well as trailers. All robberies have been captured on security camera footage and reported to the police. “Every time we are broken into, we have to pay a $1,000 deductable” said Podoborozny Until recently, in order to accommodate bulk water users at any time, gates were not locked at
After four break-ins in five years, Bruderheim Public Works has new security.
night. A solar powered electric gate has since been installed that requires a registered code to open for evening and weekend access. Currently, bulk water users have registered and pre paid, at the town office, for the amount of water they will take. The funds are loaded onto their code number and they use the access number at the bulk water station anytime day or night. Now, this system will include using their code to gain entry to the yard after hours by way of the solar powered electric gate which will be locked after hours and weekends. Additionally, should someone require use of the bulk water after hours and have not registered at the town, they will be able to gain access by using the on-call number displayed. Podoborozny added that having the gate solar powered was significantly cheaper than electric. The gate also goes completely around the yard so people cannot gain access through the trees.
Sunshine Liquor’s damaged front.
Robbed again, owner wonders if they are waiting “until I am found dead?” MAUREEN SULLIVAN Sunshine Liquor Store in Lamont was broken into on June 12, just before 4:00 a.m. A pickup truck that was allegedly stolen in Lamont the day before, backed into the storefront at some speed breaking through the expanded metal grating and door frame of the store. Thieves stole the cash register and liquor, leaving the store with a lot of broken bottles. This is the second time that Sunshine Liquor has been broken into, the first time was on June 15, 2016. Then an employee of the store was robbed at gunpoint. Owner Mark Lee wants to see some support from the Town Council. "Where is the Mayor?" asked Lee. "I have not seen him or any of the town council since I have been robbed," he stated on June 17. "Why can't we get some police presence in this town? Are they waiting until I am found dead?," Lee asks. The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment has no comment at this time as it is an ongoing investigation according to Constable Burgess.

Opinion Sometimes it is just shocking to be, and read, The Taxpayer I was so overcome by knowledge, frustration, anger, and curiosity after reading just a few pages of the latest edition of “The Taxpayer” magazine that I just had to share it with you this week. • Canadian taxpayers will not be paid back the $2.6 billion in loans and interest handed over to now bankrupt “old Chrysler” as part of a 2009 bailout. Attempts to recover the funds failed and has been written off as bad debt by the Federal Government • Fearing a brown recluse spider was in the building, 50 federal employees in Ottawa were sent home twice for a couple of days each while the building was fumigated and ducts cleaned costing $18,000 plus lost work production. Caught, the spider was a harmless yellow sac. There have been five or less recluse spiders ever recorded in Canada, and they almost never bite humans. • The federal government spent $499,800 to come up with a name, logo and website for one of its agencies whose purpose was to combat poverty in developing countries. The government agency didn’t like the name chosen so stuck with their original title. • Politicians, concerned that citizens might say things that aren’t true at election time, will spend $7 million for fact checkers (yes, you read that right, politicians concerned about truth). • The Federal and Ontario governments gave Maple Leaf Foods $62.5 million for job creation. The food giant is building a new plant with the money, and closed others putting 300 people out of work. • The Canada Pension Plan, which all working Canadians pay into, spent $300,000 on TV advertising during prime time football and hockey convincing viewers how wonderful CPP is despite Canadians having no legal choice but to pay into it. • The federal government spent $13 million to fund a Montreal tech start-up company that plans to create a mere 40 jobs. That’s $325,000 spent by the government in tax dollars for each job potentially created. • Illegal immigrants (or as our PM says, irregular) are now flooding into Canada at the rate of 20,000 per year for the last three years. That is over 10 times what was expected into Canada annually prior to 2016, and has costed taxpayers over $2 billion and rising. • Canada’s number one priority according to The Taxpayer, should be to complete the Trans Mountain Pipeline and sell it back to the private sector. • Canada’s federal debt over the past 10 years has grown $231 billion or almost 50 percent to $689,800,000,000. Canada’s federal debt grows by over $54 million per day, or $2,260,274 per hour. Your share of the debt was presently $18,521. The Canadian Taxpayer Federation is a citizens advocacy group dedicated to lower taxes, less government waste and more accountability.

FROM WHERE I SIT: KITCHEN WIN BY HAZEL ANAKA The only TV c o o k i n g competition I’ve ever watched is Master Chef Canada. I like the fact it’s a Canadian production and features three likeable and accomplished judges (Claudio Aprile, Michael Bonacini, and Alvin Leung). I like that there have been home cook entrants from Edmonton and area including two grand prize winners. Do you remember Season 4 winner, Trevor Connie, the Edmonton plumber? Talk about life-changing. He got a job at Corso 32 shortly after but I have no idea if he’s still there. Last year’s winner from Sherwood Park, Beccy Stables was the youngest winner ever and worked as a tile setter with her dad. I think they‘ve since started a restaurant somewhere in British Columbia. Beccy was unusual in her quiet, unassuming, humble demeanor. And of course, Season 3 winner, Mary Berg now has her own cooking
show on CTV. How a vegetarian was able to make all the dishes is beyond me but she did. Even the home cooks who didn’t win the whole enchilada seemed grateful for the chance to live their dream however stunted their run. It’s hard to imagine any of them going back to their real lives and former jobs. What might each of us accomplish if we had the courage to try? While I am an adequate cook, I'm not like some people who live to cook, who read cookbooks like novels, who own every kitchen gadget. The MasterChef apron is safe from me. All these thoughts were running through my head as I stood in my own kitchen. I was motivated to make some soup because of a conversation with some neighbours and because I had just picked up my order of chickens. I’d thawed out a bird in order to make room in the freezer. Unfortunately, I don’t own a stock pot so my largest Dutch oven had to do. As I diced onions, sliced garlic cloves, chopped celery and carrots, I thought about something I’ve heard our
Borshch Cook Off judges say. There needs to be uniformity of size to ensure evenness of cooking and for aesthetics. My knives aren’t particularly good and my chopping technique is somewhat laboured, harder and slower than what the pros do. For my purposes, it’ll do. But it got me thinking about those cooks who are challenged to make a dish from scratch with flavour, innovation, exceptional plating all within a ridiculously short amount of time. My mind is blown by their skill. How do they cook things they’ve never seen or tasted before? How do they get the flavour balance right? How do they manage their time when juggling multiple items? How do they do this without recipes? How? I can remain in awe, I can buy a chef’s knife and practice my chopping, and I can keep educating myself about techniques and terminology if only to be a more sophisticated diner in fine restaurants. In the meantime, I’ve got a batch of homemade chicken soup made with time, love, simple ingredients, and mindfulness. I’ll count that a kitchen win, from where I sit.

Town of Mundare 2019 Combined Assessment/Tax Notices
ANDREW TRACK AND FIELD This was a very successful year for Andrew School Track and Field. Both the junior and senior high students competed in multiple events this season. The junior high small school track meet took place in Vegreville, May 14 where we had multiple athletes place on the podium. The EIPS meet was in Sherwood Park on May 22 and many of our athletes placed quite well and had a fun season. The High School District 5 meet was held May 22 in Lloydminster where two athletes (Ben Hillas-Seeger and Abigail Marianicz) qualified for the Zone meet in Bonnyville on May 29. The season was a success in Andrew School, and the students are looking forward to next year’s athletics teams. - Kyle Hazlehurst
Volunteer help needed at fish pond BY JOHN MATHER The Lamont Fish and Game Association is looking for volunteers to help during the Kids can Catch day at the Lamont Pond. Kids can Catch is a program designed to introduce young people to fishing and will be held at the pond on June 22 from 10 to 4 p.m. “We’re looking for volunteers to help with the concession or just help the kids fishing,” said Joan Prokopchuk-Day, of the Fish and Game
Association. During the day-long program new fishermen will be taught how to bait a hook, where to drop a line, and what to do once a fish has been caught. Kids new to the sport will be able to borrow a fishing rod to give it a try. Alberta Sportfishing Regulations apply to the event meaning residents of Alberta under 16 and over 65 don’t need a licence to fish. Adults accompanying children
under 16 don’t need a licence as long as they aren’t fishing. During the day at Lamont Pond, besides the concession, there will be information available on fishing and conservation, mentors to help with new anglers, and giveaways to young anglers while supplies last. Other Kids can Catch programs will be held across the province this spring.
$685,000, but there is room in the contract for some other patching work in the town. Work on the project began May 30 and the project is expected to be completed by July 30. Residents living on 46 St., are able to access their homes through the back alley.

County weed letter leaves Lamont town councillors with questions
BY JOHN MATHER A letter the Town of Lamont received from Lamont County regarding the joint hiring of a weed inspector, prompted much discussion at the regular council meeting June 11. Under the intermunicipal collaboration framework, the County would like to establish a weed inspector position, that would be managed by the Lamont County Agricultural Services Board yet also run the weed inspection programs for all the towns and villages within the County. The letter was asking that the town and village contribute to the costs of the program which would include wages for the student, training and equipment provided by the County. It was estimated the cost would be $4,000 annually for each town and village. “The hope is all municipalities will be on board with this,” said Mayor Bill Skinner. Councillor Doug Pewarchuk seemed surprised that it was a student position the letter referred to. “If it’s a student, then is this just a summer project?” he asked. “If so, five municipalities paying $4,000 for a summer position seems expensive. I’d like to know what the County’s cost would be.” Councillor Al Harvey said, "It’s a question about the program. I fully understand the issue, but I question whether this is the best alternative. I’m also a little confused because in this it’s talking about municipal collaboration framework and quotes the act yet I think this is cherry picking.” He added while it was not bad to bring weed inspection up for discussion, he felt it should be brought up with additional discussions on transportation, water and sewers. “They just took one topic. I think it needs to back up so we can have a discussion on everything.” Pewerchuk disagreed saying it was allowed under the IMC framework regulations. “But I have a concern about hiring a summer
student to define weeds as defined in the weed control act. Do we know what those weeds are? Are they dandelions… just what are they looking for?” “It says the students would be mapping the weeds," he continued. “But does that mean we have to pay additionally for a firm to deal with them.” He went on to applaud the County for the initiative because, “weeds know no boundaries,” but hoped it wasn’t proposed for this summer because he felt much more information was needed. In fact, the County letter stated that the next steps in the proposal would be to meet with the urban neighbours to further discuss the proposal. Skinner said he recognized the need for noxious weed control and felt it was a good move, but he wasn’t sure it should have been sent to each individual council. Skinner suggested the Chief Administrative Officer, Christine Beveridge, asked for it to be put on the agenda for the next time the CAOs from across the County are at a joint meeting. Beveridge told council it was on the agenda for their September meeting. She added it wasn’t for this summer, but was trying to get discussion going on how to best solve dealing with noxious weeds. “We’re all trying to solve the same problem.” The Lamont Agricultural Society asked the town for a donation to this summer’s Summer Sizzler Rodeo. Mayor Skinner said he and the CAO had met with the ag. society to discuss plans for the organization moving forward. “A donation is outside of our budget area,” he said. “But then they wanted to talk about other events as well.” He said they were hoping to develop a kids zone at the rodeo and it could be a possibility for sponsorship. Councillor Pewarchuk said they sponsored at the gold level last year to honour the Society’s 100th anniversary but he
didn’t feel this year merited as many dollars. “We do try and recognize those milestone events for our groups and societies,” said Skinner. Councillor Harvey felt it might be better to support the Society with a donation to both the Summer Sizzler and Bullarama, which is held earlier in the year. “That way we could put it into the budget and for the next year … we could sponsor at a silver level in 2020 for both
events.” A silver level sponsorship is $500, while a gold level sponsorship would be $1,000. Skinner also told council discussions with the society had led to the possibility of a parade through town, but that was a little down the road. Pewarchuk suggested a donation in kind, if they were hosting any events in town, but since that would’t happen this year he felt a $500 donation to this summer’s
rodeo was appropriate. Councillor Kirk Perrin felt the silver sponsorship for this year was appropriate, but would support sponsoring both events next year. Councillor Perry Koeeluk moved to sponsor the Summer Sizzler this year for $500 and that was carried. Council passed a new Harassment and Violence Prevention Policy for the town. Beveridge told council most of the information in the policy came from
research with other municipalities and the former municipal government act. In addition council passed a new policy dealing with the disposal of surplus property. Beveridge pointed out to council while there wasn’t an excess number of items needing to be disposed of currently, but it was a good thing to have a policy in place to deal with how surplus materials should be disposed of.

Local author finds proof of life everlasting in the finding of dimes MAUREEN SULLIVAN Lamont County resident Shannon Swerdan has written a book, "Love's Message in a Dime." In 2016 the author suffered the loss of her mother Sylvia, to cancer. During her mom's battle, Swerdan asked her mom to leave her dimes upon crossing over as a "message" that she was still near. After her death, Sylvia began to send her family "dime messages," said Shannon. These messages show up in remarkable and unlikely places to this day. As Swerdan shares the stories of the dimes to those around her, soon others begin sharing their own dime messages. "My journey began in 2013 when my daughter's boyfriend's aunt passed away. One unique comment was that wherever she would go, the aunt would always find a dime. So after she passed, my daughter started to find dimes in really odd places, and it was always just a dime, so my daughter wondered…. Could the aunt be leaving them for her?" "So during mom's battle, I decided to ask her, "mom could you leave me dimes when you cross over, could you just leave me dimes to leave me a 'message' that you

Seniors in Lamont County treated to a free lunch for Seniors Week
The seniors in Andrew enjoyed a free BBQ provided by FCSS for Seniors Appreciation Week.
MAUREEN SULLIVAN A barbecue in appreciation of seniors and all that they do took place last week during seniors week. Lamont County FCSS, (Family and Community Support Services) hosted four hotdog and hamburger lunches. The event happened at the Andrew Lions Den on June 4, in Bruderheim at
the Gazebo on June 5, in Mundare at the Seniors Centre on June 6, and in Lamont at the New Horizon Centre, June 7. When this reporter asked the seniors at each lunch, what they were most concerned with, they answered safety and security, rural crime, health care, the economy and people leaving the community.
Johnny and Mary Kopicki of Andrew said the lack of support in small towns was a big issue. "Friends and neighbours used to help when there was a problem, now the next farm is owned by a business and you don't have a neighbour to turn to," said Mr. Kopicki.
Mundare golf tournament honours former MLA Gene Zwozdesky BY JOHN MATHER Mundare will be the site of a golf tournament, which will honour former Member of the Legislative Assembly, Gene Zwozdesky, and support education in Ukraine. “Gene was a very active member with our organization and in the community as whole,” said George Zharia, one of the tournament organizers. “So we thought it would be appropriate to memorialize his name.” The organization Zaharia speaks of is the Ukrainian Foundation for College Education (UFCE). It was created back when McEwen University was a college he adds. Zaharia is a board member with UFCE. “It exists to support the work of a small research centre at the university called Ukrainian Resource and Development Centre (URDC),” explains Zharia. “They are involved with activities that involve educational opportunities between Canada and the Ukraine.”
The organization was created in the late 1980s with the URDC being first established and then the UFCE was set up in 1994 to support the Resource and Development Centre, explained Zaharia. The golf tournament and a banquet later in the year are the two main fundraisers for the organization. Zaharia said there were more than a hundred golfers registered for the 18-hole shotgun tournament that takes place June 21 at Mundane’s Whitetail crossing Golf Club. As part of the package there will be a deluxe Ukrainian dinner at the Mundane Recreation Centre following the golf. Former Premier Ed Stelmach and his wife, Marie, will host a kubie on a bun beginning at 11:30 while registration goes on. There will also a live auction. Funds raised at the event will go to scholarships for nursing students from McEwen attending at Ternobil State Medical University dealing in global health;

for McEwen students attending a sociological field school at Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv; and McEwen students enrolled in community service learning to be applied in cross cultural learning, personal health and well being programs offered at summer camps for children in the Ukraine. “We’ve supported many students over the years including students enrolled in a business program in Ukraine,” said Zaharia. “This program isn’t offered any longer, but it allowed Ukraine students to come to Canada and work in our community to apply the lessons they had learned at the business program in Ukraine. The tournament first started in Fort Saskatchewan at Fort InView Golf Course organized by former MLA, the late Walter
Buck. “After his passing, we moved the tournament,” said Zaharia. “It was renamed for former premier Ed Stelmach.” Stelmach was hesitant about having the tournament in his name, since he already had a tournament for his foundation using his own name so the Mundare tourna-
ment became the United for Ukraine tournament. “Now we’ve changed it for Zwozdesky and I think we’ll keep that for a long time,” said Zaharia. “Zwozdesky,” said Zaharia. “Had always been involved in the Ukrainian community. After he finished with politics in 2105 he
became even more involved in the Ukrainian community.” “His stamp is on so many things in our community,” explained Zaharia. “He was a unique individual who had so much to offer and he offered it all the time. That’s why we wanted to honour him.”
Lamont Peewee baseball team finished off their season recently with a 16-7 win over Tofield.

Rookie MLA advocates for EpiPens in schools
BY JOHN MATHER Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jackie Armstrong Homeniuk has introduced a private members bill in the legislature to have EpiPens provided in all schools across the province in the case of students having a major allergic reaction. The bills stems from an incident involving her own daughter several years earlier. Her daughter, Jacklyn, then two, had gone into anaphylactic shock from a previously unknown peanut allergy. Raced into Edmonton by ambulance, Armstrong Homeniuk said she prayed that she would someday do something to help people with allergies. She made good on her promise May 30, introducing private member’s
Bill 201, the Protection of Students with Life Threatening Allergies Act. If the bill passes, Alberta would be the first province in Canada to require EpiPens in all schools. National allergy advocates agree with the move, stating having a consistent approach to manage food allergies in schools across the province would bring peace of mind to students and provide clarity for school staff. “It’s a smart thing to do,” said Dr. Harold Kim, president of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Under the terms of Armstrong-Homeniuk’s bill, mandatory training for all school employees would be required, to

recognize and react to a life-threatening reaction. After her incident with her daughter, and a similar peanut allergy incident involving her son drove her to buy some EpiPens and have them available at the Vegreville public school. The rookie MLA said she had spoken with the Alberta Teachers Association regarding her bill and they supported it providing that training for the program wasn’t a burden on teachers. She said the cost would be a small amount considering the peace of mind staff and administrators would have adding, community groups and school councils could fundraise to cover the costs. Each EpiPen costs between $100 to $150.

Safety always important during BBQ season MAUREEN SULLIVAN Many Canadians love to barbecue all yearround but especially when the weather starts to get warm. But as with any appliance, it’s important to regularly maintain your
barbecue and ensure it is in good working order. Quick and easy steps include checking for leaks, especially if you’re using your barbecue for the first time this season. Applying a 50/50 solution of soap and water to
the propane cylinder connections and hoses can help you identify a leak. Gage Elliott of the Lamont Home Hardware warns if the BBQ doesn't light up the first time, turn it off and wait
at least 10 minutes before trying again. "Make sure that kids understand that the outside of the BBQ can be really hot, not just the cooking surface," says Elliott.

The Andrews Seniors Club donated their collected coffee money to the the breakfast program at Andrew School.
The ladies hospital auxiliary presents a cheque to Beaverhill Lodge for $2,500 to go towards patients needs.
Mundare Senior Drop in Centre receive a community grant from Walmart MAUREEN SULLIVAN Looking to enhance the facilities at the Senior Drop-in Centre in Mundare, the members approached the Walmart store in Vegreville and asked if they would be interested in donating a TV to the Centre.
Jackie Coers, Manager of the Vegreville store suggested that they apply for a community grant. "Walmart gives out to non-profit organizations four community grants locally of $1,000 you can apply on line, store management decides who to
give the grant to and forwards it to the head office and they make a final decision," said Coers. The Senior Drop-in Centre was successful in receiving a grant for a new state of the art television and picked it up from the Vegreville
Walmart recently. According Judy Shaw, President of the Senior Centre, "People now have the ability to play movies and videos on the TV screen straight from a computer. It is an added bonus when they rent the centre, for an event."
Lamont Lions Past President Lorrie Tarka presented a $250 donation to Heather Cardinal of Lamont Health Care Centre. The money will go towards a petting zoo that the recreation department is bringing in for the patients in June.
Deb Hancheruk says goodbye after 12 years at the Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge MAUREEN SULLIVAN After 12 and a half years at the helm of the Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge and working for the Lamont County Housing Foundation Debbie Hancheruk, the lodge manger has retired. A celebration was held for her on June 6, in conjunction with a seniors appreciation breakfast. Hancheruk oversaw the construction of the new lodge and the movements of the residents from the old lodge to the new one at the start of 2018. The new Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge replaced the existing facility, increasing capacity from 36 to 55 units. Harold James, the CEO of the Lamont Housing Foundation, reminisced about interviewing
