Healing hearts of humanity help during crisis Michelle Pinon Editor

Christopher Hopkins is the kind of guy who’d give you the shirt off his back. In fact, he gave that and a whole lot more this past week to victims of the Fort McMurray wildfire that drove over 80,000 people out of their homes. Hopkins partner Shanda-Lynn Kimball told the Lamont Leader that he gave up his room at camp for a family who drove through the flames to safety. On the way home from camp, Hopkins saw people crying, stranded in their vehicles and on the side of the road. “It was

heartbreaking.” But long before Hopkins arrived home in Lamont, he devised a plan to bring food, water, and diapers back up Highway 63 to the families who were waiting for any kind of help they could find. They found help in Hopkins, as well as Kimball, who posted a message on the Lamont Buy & Sell site asking for donations. Kimball also decided to take a trip to Fort Saskatchewan to get provisions while other generous families dropped off donations on their door step. Hopkins arrived home at 12 noon, and by 1 p.m. the supplies were loaded up and he was on the way back up the high-

way headed north. Alex Cartagena was so inspired by what Hopkins had done that he asked his boss Vince Vandale at the Carillon shop in Lamont if they could provide assistance as well. “I asked Vince what could we do, and social media took over after that. It didn’t take long before folks were going door to door and dropping off items at the parking lot of the Lamont arena last Wednesday evening. KC, the owner of Lamont Foods, and his staff pitched in to make sandwiches and sent bananas, apples, water, and diapers with Alex and Vince who drove the shipment up to a reception centre

in Plamondon. Donations continued to pour in from residents and businesses in the community in the days that followed. Even Kraig Tychkowsky, and fellow friends Danny Sims and Natasha Oar, went around town with a wheelbarrow collecting donations. Jodie Derksen and Rob Thrower, who reside in the Village of Chipman and serve on the village’s fire department, also rounded up donations over the course of the week. During a visit to the Carillon shop late Thursday afternoon, more donations were being dropped off there. “My wife Andrea is going around town col-

lecting donations,” said Alex. He describes the situation as a chain reaction, and was also grateful to Kirk Perrin who manned the phone during the day. Also stopping in with donations were Jen and Nick Taylor, who offered to collect donations from residents in the county who were not able to come to Lamont to donate. Alex and Vince said the warmth and support that was extended to them gave them the extra energy they needed to keep pushing the donation campaign further. “There’s a lot of support from everyone. I guess everyone’s a hero,” added Alex. Both Alex and Vince

Carillion employees, along with their family members, friends, and other local residents were kept busy most of last week collecting and transporting donations for evacuees of the Fort McMurray Wildfire. Pictured from left to right are: Sudhar Stanislus, Director of Contract Management, Equipment Operator Alex Cartagena, and Shop Foreman Vince Vandale. There are many more local heroes who are pitching in whatever resources they have available to them to assist the victims of the massive wildfire that has driven thousands and thousands of people from their homes. More photos and coverage from local communities can be found on Pages 12 and 13.

made another trip up north to Lac La Biche, and they also planned to make a trip to one of the distribution centre’s in Redwater at press time. Other people who made a difference included the Town of Bruderheim, Lamont County FCSS, Lamont & District Chamber of Commerce, Andrew School, and the Mundare Fire Department. In the days and weeks ahead, there will be many more heroes who emerge to lend a helping hand to the people of Fort McMurray. Today, May 10, there will be a fundraising barbecue in Hillside Park in Lamont between 4-7 p.m.

Construction underway in Lamont for $13.5 million seniors lodge SUBMITTED ARTICLE Construction is underway for the new Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge in Lamont. Crews from Brenex Construction arrived on site in mid-April to begin work on the new 55 unit seniors lodge. The expected time of completion for the project is by August, 2017. The new lodge will replace the current 36 unit Beaverhill Pioneer Lodge, which has been home to Lamont and area seniors since 1964. The current building will be demolished once the new lodge is ready. The new lodge will be built to modern standards, which means residents will enjoy larger rooms, full in-suite washrooms and modern fire suppression and safety systems. The federal and provincial governments provided $10.8 million for the $13.5 million project with the Lamont County Housing

5035 51 Ave, Mundare

Foundation providing the remaining funding. The Alberta government owns the lodge and the foundation operates it. Lodges provide bed

and sitting rooms, meals, housekeeping, other services, and recreational opportunities for low and moderate income seniors who are functionally independent.

The Mundare gas station was full of vehicles during the community wide garage sale Saturday afternoon. In fact, the gas station and convenience store, (the only one of its kind in the town), generates a lot of business with local residents and commuters alike. SUBMITTED ARTICLE POSTMEDIA - May 3 - The owners of the Mundare Esso were fined $36,000 on Monday, (May 2), admitting they illegally hired foreign workers. Yoo and Yoo Enterprises Ltd. Pleaded guilty in Edmonton provincial court to four offences under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act relating to employing a foreign national in a capacity in which they were not authorized to be employed. In exchange for the guilty plea involving nine Filipino workers, charges against Soon Sang Yoo and his son, Hyun Suk Yoo, were withdrawn, as well as other charges against the company. Court heard the nine Filipinos illegally worked at Mundare Esso between April 10, 2013 and Dec. 11, 2013.

Lamont County Food Bank offers families a helping hand Michelle Pinon Editor “A lot of the time local fundraisers really sustain us,” commented Lori Stahl, service co-ordinator with the Lamont County Food Bank, while waiting for Janine Whiting to arrive at the local storage and distribution centre for a cheque presentation recently. Whiting, who helped co-ordinate the ladies bonspiel for the Lamont Curling Club, was smiling and more than happy to present Stahl with a cheque for $407 on behalf of participants who donated 1,200 pounds of food as well as the generous cash donation. Stahl says without the support of local residents, organizations and businesses, the food bank would not be able to operate successfully. She doesn’t want to discount the volunteers, a core group of about 10 local residents, who donate their time to help people in need. “I have an amazing group of volunteers

Chipman Lions Club President Ross Cossey presented Valerie Nimchuk with a $1,000 cheque for the Lamont Veselka Ukrainian Dance Club. Looking on is Treasurer Marge Boyko.

“I’d love to say thank you to everyone. Every can of food or dollar that is donated makes a difference.” With challenging economic times over the past year, the food bank has been a great support for local residents. Asking for help is one of the biggest hurdles for recipients, who never expect to find themselves in the position they find themselves in. Demand for food hampers is also in high demand, and Stahl says there has been a substantial rise in the number of hampers that were distributed in 2015 compared to 2016. For example: 2015 January - 16 hampers (31 adults, 17 children). February - 25 hampers (44 adults, 32 children) March - 24 hampers (39 adults, 29 children). April - 30 hampers (51 adults, 37 children). Totals: 95 hampers (165 adults, 115 children). 2016

January - 31 hampers (63 adults, 30 children). February - 31 hampers (55 adults, 37 children). March - 36 hampers (62 adults, 40 children). April - 47 hampers (87 adults, 55 children). “You pray it helps a bit, and a parents will be able to eat and feed their kids.” Stahl says there’s probably a lot more people out there who are on their last can of soup, and really need a helping hand. She says it is a very complex and challenging problem to solve, but that: “Our goal is to provide nourishment in a non-judgemental way, and try to make it a positive experience for them” Noone ever expects to use the food bank, but Stahl says many people don’t have a longterm plan in place, and maybe facing health issues, unexpected life event, lay offs, etc. Residents are allowed to access the food bank once a month, and she encourages anyone who needs help to call the food bank at 780-619-6955.

Opinion Do we take the time?

Do we take time to thank the Lord for all that we are given? Do we take the time to share our excess that others may also live? Do we take the time to look around at those for those in any need? Do we take the time to stop and see all the beauty we can see? When trials come, do we cower and hide? Or do we look at the ashes and above them, choose to rise? Do we serve one another with our kindness and our love? Do we strive to be like the one watching over us from above? We take time to share and care for that is what we are. Beings who live for others to heal our own life’s scars. Do we truly comprehend what it means to care? Even a simple smile helps others want to hang in there. Tragedy strikes and we know it’s not fun. Yet, every little helping hand is wanted, tis better not to run. There will come a day when the helpers will need saved. The hands that were helped will have strength enough to lift. Lift where you stand with your helping hands. Your voice matters to keep hearts from being shattered. Love and help can repair broken hearts. Just wanting to offer up your hands and hearts is the best way to start. All can feel that love can heal. Willing hands and hearts can all play a vital part. Be strong in all you do and give. For you may be the key for helping another want to live. Live on, live well and embrace the golden rule. For we all sit in our Lord’s arms, ready to serve as a rescue tool. This poem is dedicated to all those affected by the fire in Fort McMurray. Written by Heather Leigh Cameron (c) May 2016.

Letter to the Editor: My First Mother’s Day Dear Editor, I found out I was pregnant while I was at my annual physical. My doctor wanted to run some tests and asked if I was pregnant. I gave the old response “maybe, who knows” with a laugh; after all my husband and I were trying for a baby but it had only been a month. When she told me it was positive I was in shock. I was so happy and I didn’t have my husband Jonathan there to celebrate with. My doctor laughed at me as I stood up and sat down

in my seat, unsure of what to do, and opened her arms for a hug. On the ride home I stopped off at the store and bought a onesie, sized 3 months because after one look at my athletic hubby, I knew our baby would be big! Six weeks later the doctors told me there was something wrong with my baby. There were developmental problems in the brain. They didn’t know how bad it was. A week later they told me there was a problem with the heart too. My heart broke as

they told me I would likely lose my baby, our little girl. They gave her a 1% chance of being born alive, they were confident that I would miscarry. When that didn’t happen, they were confident I would have a stillbirth. When that didn’t happen, they were confident that she wouldn’t survive the birth. When I was in labour at the hospital, we turned the monitors off and prayed. Sarah lived! Jonathan and I spent seven glorious days with her. She was absolute perfection

from her full head of hair, to her soft lips, to her long legs. We would have been twins, she was my double in every way. Except her eyes, she had her father’s eyes. She never got to wear the onesie I bought her. She never got to see the room that would have been hers. We got to take her outside once, we sat on the hospital bench with the sun streaming down and it was one of the happiest moments of my life. This will be my first Mother’s Day. I don’t know what I will do on

Sunday. I know Jonathan will plan something, a gift from Sarah to me. I protected my little lady as best as I could. I fought for her. I argued with doctors and nurses and demanded the best treatment I could get. And I am privileged to live in Canada, a country where I have access to the best health care for free. The best gift I can give to honour my sweet Sarah this year is to help another Mother protect her child. That is why I am donating to effect: hope’s Protect a

Child fund. It provides treatment and Vitamin A supplements to kids and pregnant women in Kenya for hookworm, roundworm, and whipworm. Plus, all donations are matched 3 times by the Government of Canada so for every $1 I give, $4 goes to the fund. I hope you will join me in giving Mother’s in Kenya a truly Happy Mother’s Day. From one Mother to another, Happy Mothers Day. Andrea Onley

From Where I Sit: Rock the Room

By Hazel Anaka As Roy and I sat in the Jubilee Auditorium the other night I soon realized this column would ‘write itself.’ Let me set the stage. When you’re married a long time you learn things about each other. I know Roy loves rocker George Thorogood’s music. Other than Bad to the Bone I couldn’t name one of his songs to save my life but that’s okay. Last fall when I read about an April concert appearance I bought tickets as part of Roy’s Christmas gift. Fast forward to show time. We are the kind of people who get to our destination early. We get settled. On Tuesday the

people-watching was almost worth the price of admission. It was apparent people of all ages love this guy and his band The Destroyers. A disproportionate number had mullets or long grey ponytails or ball caps. There were a couple dew rags. And damn if their seats weren’t better than ours. For the longest time, the row right in front of us remained almost empty. Great sightlines, yeah! Well except for the guy who was like a clucking hen. He sat in several different seats, kept his cap on, and munched on something. When the headliner took to the stage he removed his jacket and unleashed a cloud of BO. Then a couple fifty-something men sat down. Can we chalk up their bad behaviour to booze or arrested development? That much punching, tickling, and rough–housing is what you expect from overactive eight year olds. It’s downright bizarre from old balding guys. Then there are those who are dazed and confused. They’re looking at their tickets, they’re staring at seat numbers, and

still manage to sit in the wrong spot. Imagine the chaos when the houselights suddenly dimmed. Or the older gal in about row five who popped up like the critter in a whack-a-mole game and danced through most numbers. With her hair flying and arms flailing, she bounced and spun around and around. It’s nice that some can cut loose and enjoy themselves but what about the poor schnooks who paid for good seats behind her? And she wasn’t alone. A group of young men off to the right of the stage stood much of the time grooving and clapping. The show itself was good and I daresay,

everyone seemed thrilled to be there. It was loud. Our seats vibrated with the bass, sheer volume, and rockin’ toe tapping. The four-piece Ben Miller Band warmed up the crowd with their high energy forty-five minute set. They played everything from a fiddle to a banjo, from a one-string washtub bass to a cigar box guitar. Then the big guy and his four musicians appeared and brought the house down. He’s been at it since 1978 and at age sixty-six can still rock a room. All in all not a bad way to spend two and half hours, from where I sit.

Better support for agriculture sector needed

Wayne Drysdale Since we have seen new provincial and federal governments, there has been a lot of talk and speculation on pipelines. While pipelines are incredibly important to our province, Alberta is much more than just oil. Folks in our major urban cities can sometimes forget how important agriculture is to our economy. With the release of the provincial budget a few weeks ago, we have seen that the NDP government has also clearly forgotten the importance of this sector.

Titled the “Alberta Jobs Plan,” the provincial budget does very little to create jobs in our agriculture sector. While the provincial strategic plan mentions an agreement “that supports growth in Canada’s agriculture and food sector,” we see little concrete action that will achieve this. What we do see is a lack of vision and direction that would provide the Alberta agriculture industry with the confidence they need during shaky economic times. Agricultural societies and councils provide the much-needed expertise and advice to governments and Albertans on farming and ranching. The latest provincial budget not only dissolved a number of agricultural councils, but also decreased funding to agricultural initiatives responsible for funding the 300 agricultural soci-

Advertisement for

eties across the province. It’s concerning to see important councils such as the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA) dissolved without a replacement strategy. ALMA focused on sustainable development and increasing market access for our products. In getting rid of ALMA, what is the government’s contingency plan for creating a strategy that will get our goods to markets around the world? In addition, the Alberta Next Generation Advisory Council was dissolved. They provided government the necessary feedback to encourage new people to work in the industry. While their mandate was completed in 2014, government had an opportunity to expand their important directive and continue to attract and retain new generations

of farmers and ranchers in Alberta. If Alberta hopes to grow the agriculture sector, the NDP government must make a focused effort on growing partnerships in a world that becomes more globalized every day. Last year alone, Alberta exported over $3.9 billion in agrifood exports to America, and over $1.3 billion to China. We expect global population to reach 9 billion by 2050 – we need a stronger plan to reach these growing markets. Just last week, the Premier traveled to Washington to sell her climate tax to environmentalists and special

interest groups. What she forgot to advocate for was our world-class agriculture products. This would have been an opportune time to focus on developing agricultural trade with a major partner, but she dropped the ball by neglecting to acknowledge the importance of our ranchers and farmers. Yet again. There’s no question about it — agriculture is vital to our province. It was our first industry and it will continue to be a key driver in our economy well into the foreseeable future. Farming and ranching is important to many of us around the province

but farm families across the province are feeling the pain from lack of leadership during this economic storm. I encourage you to contact your local MLA with your concerns. If your MLA is not supporting you in your community, feel free to contact my own office and I will bring your concerns forward to continue to hold this government accountable. Wayne Drysdale is the MLA for Grande PrairieWapiti and Progressive Conservative Critic for the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

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)

Industrial activity holding steady SUBMITTED ARTICLE Lamont, Alberta (May 3, 2016) – Between existing operations and new construction, industrial activity in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland maintains a steady pace. Ongoing construction continues on several major projects, while groundbreaking for new projects will happen as early as this summer. More than twenty industrial companies and organizations shared current and future plans at the bi-annual Heartland Community Information Evening on May 2 in Lamont. Hosted by Life in the Heartland, the event was one of the best attended. The evening drew a crowd of nearly 250 local residents, business owners, government, and industry representatives. With trade show style booths and seven presentations, the event provided a valuable opportunity for the community to become more aware of nearby industrial activities. “Knowing our neighbours is a big part of what keeps communities healthy, growing, and safe,” commented Vanessa Goodman, Chair of Life in the Heartland. “In our region, industrial facilities are considered our neighbours. This event provides a unique opportunity for local residents and business owners to get to know those industrial neighbors a little better.” Seven organizations delivered presentations and shared the following details: • Northeast Region CAER encouraged the audience to lend their feedback to the nationwide public consultation on Wireless Public Alerts as a means for emergency alerting via cell phones. • Alberta Midland Railway is expected to have shovels in the ground this June for their $34M rail ter-

minal project, which will have the capacity to store and switch 850 rail cars. • Cenovus provided an overview of their operations, including the Bruderheim Rail Terminal, in addition to their local community investment in food banks, hampers, and school programs. • Enbridge is expected to continue construction on their Norlite Pipeline and Stonefell Terminal this summer/fall, and highlighted their $145K in local community contributions last year. • Graymont shared an overview of their lime hydrating and distribution facility which began operations in 2014, in addition to supporting local initiatives such as Bullarama, parks, and schools. • Shell highlighted the completion of their Quest CCS project last November and noted their dedication to local community investment, which exceeded $500K in the past few years. • Williams featured their new offgas facility now operating near Fort McMurray, in addition to their planned propane processing facility which would be the first of its kind in Canada. Details about Life in the Heartland’s fall 2016 Community Information Evening will be available in September.

Members of the Chipman Junior Players performed The Ever After before a large and appreciative crowd on Friday, April 29 at the Chipman National Hall. The 12 member cast featured favourite fairytale characters on a modern day trash talk show, and cast them in a new, and much different light. Forgiveness and reconcilation was the central theme, and provided many comical moments for the audience to enjoy.

Love of hockey draws two local players together Michelle Pinon Editor

and mentally. “It’s really fun. It’s really fast. Just better hockey,” commented Alex. Emerson agrees, and he particularly likes taking shots from the blue line as well as the rough and tumble nature of the game. Passing and scoring goals is Alex’s favourite aspect of the game, and he looks forward to each and every game and practice. Emerson also loves hockey, and his mom says he eats, breathes and sleeps hockey. In fact, when Emerson was in play school he told Ashley that he was going to quit play school and just play hockey. Both Emerson and Alex says they dream of playing in the NHL. But even if that doesn’t pan out they will have a had the chance to develop as players and people on and off the ice. There’s so much to be said about teamwork, and these boys are learning together. Their paths may or may not cross again, but they both are grateful for this special opportunity, and are definitely making the most of their time as all-stars.

Instead of facing off against each other, Emerson Hauch and Alex Andruchow, who play for the Bruderheim Bruins and the Lamont Hawks novice teams, are now playing on the same AAA Can West All Stars hockey team in the city’s spring league. Both boys say it’s much nicer to play together than against each other, and are enjoying their time with the Can West Outriders squad. The league, which runs from April till June, is a great opportunity to develop as a player as well as a person, say hockey moms Michelle Andruchow and Ashley Hauch. “It’s nice that they play together,” says Michelle. Ironically, both players had a fierce rivalry during the regular 16/60 season, both vying for the top scoring title. Now that they’re teammates they are working hard together to achieve one goal together, success for the Outriders. B o t h moms say the boys get along great and are both more confident and outgoing because of the experience. They also say the b o y s k n o w they have a job to do out on the ice, and a r e stretching their lim- Emerson Hauch and Alex Andruchow pose for a photo following a vicits both tory over the PEP Greyhounds on Saturday, April 30. physically Emerson Hauch mans the blue line, and when he gets the chance, he loves taking a slapshot.

Local humanitarian efforts for evacuees of Fort McMurray wildfire outstanding! Heavenly Father, Lord God, We know, It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. As wildfires burn in and around the City of Fort McMurray & Alberta. We ask for the prayers of everyone. This is a terrifying time for the residents, all of whom have had to evacuate. I think particularly of how stressful this is for those who are critically ill and those who tend them under these very difficult circumstances. We Pray for all who are fleeing the fires that they may travel in safety. We Pray for those who will receive them in emergency shelters. We Pray for those who, against all odds given the unusually high seasonal temperatures and high winds, are battling the blaze and attempting to curtail its reach. We Pray for all the firefighters, police and emergency service workers. These are exhausting days for them. We Pray for all who face the loss of their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. We Pray for all who are trying to protect the public service buildings with an eye to the huge task of rebuilding the city in time. Let us continue to hold Fort McMurray in prayer, as we as a nation respond to this unfolding crisis.

“Absolute Angels.” That’s how one grateful Fort McMurray resident described Lorna Embury and Kim Phelps who gathered donations from local business and residents for them and fellow victims of the wildfire disaster. Lorna and Kim, who experienced their own wildfire crisis in Kamloops several years earlier, said they had to do something for the victims of the tragedy. The man, who wished to remain anonymous said he didn’t feel deserving of all the help he and his wife had received since coming to Bruderheim last week. Emotionally overwhelmed, the man was near tears a couple of times as he described his harrowing 10 hour journey from their home in the Thickwood subdivision to Wandering River Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. “It’s been just unreal. There’s been so much kindness and generosity.” Kim and Lorna were very humble about taking any credit, and said they were very proud of everyone in the community,” who came together in time of crisis.

Love Your Dance inspires passion in local youth Michelle Pinon Editor

“Amazing.” That’s how Nathan Young, instructor of Love Your Dance, describes his group of 27 dancers who train out of the Chipman National Hall three days a week. On Tuesday, May 17 the dancers will be showcasing their routines at the Shell Theatre in the DOW Centennial Centre at Fort Saskatchewan at 6 p.m. Joining the Love Your Dance Club will be members of the Sunflower Dance Club which is situated in Thorhild. Young says dancers three years of age and older will be performing during the final performance, and he is looking forward to the evening that will draw the dance season to a close. Nathan says the dancers have been learning and training for the past eight months, and are very excited to be demonstrating their talents. “We have a saying here, do what you do.” The overall goal is to make each and every dance the best they can possibly be. For the dancers who want to take things to the next level, Nathan offers an accelerated program as well as private lessons. Young, who has been teaching dance for the past 11 years, says all of his dancers are extremely hardworking and totally dedicated to dance. The club’s mission is to inspire passion through movement, and Nathan says all of the dancers have really taken to the philosophy and put it into action. The biggest change he’s seen this season has been the personal growth, self confidence, self awareness, and the abil-

He is very excited to be offering more classes in Chipman and the Thorhild area, starting this

September. But before that happens he will be hosting a dance camp in Radway from Aug. 8-11. “I celebrate their successes,” and soon, family, friends, and all dance fans will have the opportunity to celebrate with the talented dancers on May 17.

22 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, May 10, 2016

Lamont County and NRCAER team up during Life in the Heartland info meeting SUBMITTED ARTICLE Lamont County Fire’s fleet and NRCAER were at the Life in the Heartland Information Eve May 2 in Lamont as part of Emergency Preparedness Week. “Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere and with little warning,” says Brenda Gheran, NRCAER’s Executive Director. “We encourage all residents to be prepared to look after themselves for 72 hours. This enables first responders to help those within the event of an emergency. First responders can help

those with urgent needs.” Gheran also highlighted the importance of knowing the right safety actions to take for each type of emergency and where to get information. “We promote Shelter in Place as the first response to incidents involving hazardous material release, and the UPDATEline, 1866-653-9959, as a key information source about industry activity in the region.” For more information, visit www.nrcaer.com. Personal emergency response planning

resources, checklists and templates are available for free at: www.getprepared.gc.ca
