Thieves trash Andrew Gas Bar
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS
For the third time in four months the Andrew Gas Bar was vandalized. Thieves ransacked the main area as well as the office spraying the contents from the fire extinguisher throughout. The parking area and neighbouring highway were littered with chips and pop. Michelle Pinon Editor
For the third time in four months the Andrew Gas Bar was the target of thieves. This most recent break in during the early morning hours of May 22 was different in the sense that the vandals simply trashed the merchandise and office space before dousing it with chemicals from a fire extinguisher. “They tore the place apart,” stated the manager, who did not want to be publicly identified for fear of further repercussions or possible retalia-
tion by the hoodlums in the future. Since this could be a vindictive crime, the manager stated later that morning (after 10 a.m.) that they were waiting on members of the forensic unit from Edmonton to investigate on scene. Motorists, who came to fuel up or grab a coffee, were dismayed and shocked to see the gas station and pumps cordoned off with yellow police tape. Bags of chips and pop were littered throughout the parking lot and smashed out windows a reminder of the violent force used to break through the panes of glass in the windows.
Robert Peyton was also dismayed to hear of the crime. Peyton, a member and director with the Andrew-Willingdon-St. Michael Rural Crime Watch Association, said fellow members (210 in total) received a fan out earlier in the week from RCMP. Peyton said there are several challenges in regards to policing in the Two Hills RCMP Detachment area, with staffing being the main one. Peyton said the detachment has been short two officers over the past year and has been waiting more than six months for the detach-
ment commander to relocate to the area and officially take on their full-time duties. “We need a foot soldier with a car and a gun,” stated Peyton emphatically as visibility is a crucial means of deterring criminals. Peyton said he has lived in the area for more than 10 years, and there has not been a local RCMP detachment in operation; however, there is a satellite RCMP office (ironically located within metres of the gas station in question) that is available to officers for use of high speed internet.

Opinion Cultivating efforts pay off dividends My muscles are screaming out in protest to my weeding and landscaping efforts over the weekend. But my heart is very happy at the progress I made and it was a sheer joy to be able to work outside again sans jacket! Despite my age or the fact that I grew up in rural Alberta, I still marvel each and every year during the rebirth of spring. Seeing some of the early growth of crops in the area was wonderful and is surely a great sign of things to come. Cultivating new hope is so uplifting, and I would like to take my hat off to Lamont High School teacher Wayde Putnam and his wife Angela for their fundraising efforts to help a loved one suffering from a recent amputation, as well as the efforts of volunteer organizers and supporters of the recent Friends Fighting Cancer group who raised $4,000 during their annual barbecue in Lamont. I know there are also many other individuals and organizations doing their part to help out fellow community members in their own special way. Don’t forget to circle your calendar for June 14 when the Telus Ride For Dad in support of the fight against prostate cancer rolls through Andrew, Mundare and Lamont. More than 1,200 motorcyclists are expected to make stops in our local communities. More details of the event will be available in the next issue of the Lamont Leader.
From Where I Sit: For Another Day
By Hazel Anaka Roy attended a breakout session called Boost Your Marvelous Brain at the recent Alberta Seniors Housing Association conference. He brought home a handout and brochure from the Calgary Alzheimer Society. I love learning about brain function because I’ve grown very fond (and protective) of my own mind. That’s also why I’ve never understood those who willfully do things that can hurt that precious organ. Or hasten the decline that naturally comes with advancing
age. Or fail to take protective proactive measures to optimize its function. Think about those old ads showing a brain on drugs or scrambled after an accident. When I was a teenager an old wives’ tale insisted that 10,000 brain cells were lost each time a person got drunk. I have no idea if that was true then or now but I do know I wasn’t taking any chances. I didn’t think I could spare any. There are five factors within our control as we attempt to keep our brains healthy as long as possible. They don’t offer total protection against the onset of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia. 1. Challenge your mind through games like Sudoku, crosswords, puzzles, and card games. Learn a new language, take a course, play a musical instrument. Use your non-dominant hand to perform tasks. 2. Manage the stress levels in your life by get-
ting sufficient sleep and nurturing your health and wellbeing with personal time devoted to relaxation. Spend time with friends, hobbies, entertainment. Don’t fight those things you can’t change, ask for and accept help, and laugh. 3.Take steps to socialize whether it’s with family, friends or strangers. Join a group, club or organization. Be both the host and the guest. Initiate conversations. I had two fun and funny talks with the Jamaican maid who cleaned our hotel room. She laughed easily and often and I was caught up in her story. She looked like a girl yet was fifty-eight years old. Good genes or good attitude? She made my day. 4. Know your (cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, weight) numbers and get them into the healthy range. Eat a well-balanced, portion controlled diet; limit alcohol consumption and see a doctor when
necessary. 5. Incorporate regular, do-able, reasonable activity into your life. Protect yourself against head injury and concussion. Wear a seatbelt when driving. Prevent tripping hazards, be vigilant with medications, install aids and improve balance and strength to prevent falls. Memory loss, disorientation, errors in judgement and a changed personality are some early indicators of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Difficulty communicating or doing abstract thinking, being moody, misplacing items and lacking initiative are others. So our assignment is clear: after a good night’s sleep take a daily walk with a friend while wearing a helmet, munching on celery and doing a Sudoku before volunteering later with a service club. That should stave off dementia for another day from where I sit! SUBMITTED PHOTO
The nineth annual Friends For Cancer barbecue, held recently in Lamont, was a great success. A total of $4,000 was raised for the Canadian Cancer Society and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Canada. Students, staff, along with businesses and residents all came together to support the fundraiser, and organizers could not have been more pleased with the overall results.

Sculpture embodies the true nature of Ros Bowes Submitted by Lamont High School
"The nearest thing to immortality that any of us can hope to achieve is to stay alive in the memory of those who knew and loved us." Author unknown. In the courtyard of Lamont High School stands a sculpture. Thoughtfully created by Mr. Bruce Suffield, at the request of the 2012 grad class, it embodies Ms. Bowes' nature, a timeless dedication in a fitting place, at the school that she loved and where she worked tirelessly for many years in the school office. "Ros Bowes was an avid and accomplished quilter and gardener," says Mr. Suffield, and he intricately wove these elements into the memorial. "Key elements include her signature "R" encircled; her height of 5' 4"; chair backs (from the school) to simulate one of Ros' favourite flowers, the English Primrose; the use of rebar to simulate the stitching and patterns used in quilting; and a triangular shape to represent a draped quilt." Mr. Lonnie Hicks, former principal at LHS, remembers Ros "as one of the most sensitive, empathetic people I have ever known. She could observe students and colleagues as they made their way through their day at school. She could see joy and suffering on peoples' faces and in their behaviors, and her observations often led her to provide help to people who needed someone to talk to. I understood the true measure of her impact in the school and community. I will always remember her sense of humor, her wisdom, her integrity, and her courage." After reading this, many of us will pause and reflect on what a privilege it was to know Ros. To remember the person we lost. To think of the positive contributions she made to others' lives. To try to make similar contributions. If you find yourself
visiting your home town, your old alma mater, out for your daily walk, at the Public Library, or at a
school function, take a moment to visit in the courtyard.

The late Ros Bowes lives on in the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to have been touched by her kindness and generosity towards others.

Break in at Andrew gas station raises several concerns Continued from Page 1
Besides lack of physical resources, there is also the geographical coverage area that covers over 7,000 square miles, according to Peyton. Having only one officer
to service the territory means shower service. For example, if a crime is committed in the Andrew area, it could take up to an hour for an officer to arrive on scene. “People committing the crimes know that. That’s one of our difficulties.”
Andrew resident, business owner and village councillor Osama Hamed had the distinction of being the first patient admitted to the Strathcona Community Hospital during opening day on Wednesday, May 21st. The staff wanted a picture of him, and he in turn took a photograph of them as a momento to mark the coincidental occasion.
The other difficulty is the time it takes between the filing of a report to the time a fan out is made. “The problem is by the time it gets to us, it’s stale news,” adds Peyton. One of the ideas that has been discussed with the Village of Andrew, notes Peyton, is increased surveillance cameras in the downtown area of Andrew. The association has also discussed establishing a fan out system via the internet versus the telephone messaging system which is the current mode of operation used by police. Requests were made to
obtain details of the crime from the Two Hills RCMP Detachment, but were not forthcoming or available by press time.

Shell’s community crew clean up and green up Lamont Health Care Centre’s healing garden Michelle Pinon Editor
The courtyard of the Lamont Health Care Centre (LHCC) was buzzing with activity Friday, May 23 as members of the Shell community crew were mowing, weeding, planting, trimming, and cleaning the lawn, flower beds, shrubs and retention ponds. Harold James, LHCC chief executive officer, board members Mae Adamyk and Linda Mills, along with local greenthumb Blanche Thomson were on hand for the event. Adamyk, said the meditative and healing garden, that was officially dedicated in 2011 was the vision of Dr. McGregor Alton and horticulturist Stan
Thomson, who helped bring the vision to life. Adamyk said there have been several local families and organizations who have made donations for the green space. “People from our board and community members bring flowers,” added Adamyk. “It was a great day and the team was able to help with spring cleaning and yard maintenance including weeding and mowing, building new planter boxes, cleaning out the pond and planting new trees and flowers,” stated Jessica Blackmore, Community Liason Officer with Shell Scotford. Blackmore went on to say, “Shell teams and departments take part in Days of Caring (United Way) every year and we continue to see the par-

It was great to see the progress through-
out the day, but the real joy came from seeing the hospital board, employees and residents peaking out the window and even coming out to see the garden take shape. You could see how grateful they were to have this work done. It’s great to be a part of a company that allows us to go out and support our communities.”

Bigfoot comedy ready to hit the stage at Mundare School
MICHELLE PINON PHOTO
The cast and crew of BIg Foot are ready to put their talents on display. The Grade 7 and 8 drama students from Mundare School are participating in the third annual Dessert Theatre May 30th and are hoping for a great crowd of enthusiastic supporters to attend what is sure to be a most entertaining evening. Michelle Pinon Editor
Audience members of the upcoming performance of Bigfoot at Mundare School are guaranteed to get a belly full of delicious desserts and laughs on May 30th. Director Sian Vadnais says the play promises to be a lot of fun for both the actors and members of the audience this coming Friday evening. A quaint and rustic lodge somewhere in the Pacific Northwest is the
setting for this lighthearted and hilarious wilderness adventure. “Start with the motherdaughter team that built the ramshackle lodge, throw in a small town sheriff with delusions of grandeur and two local self-obsessed teens. Add a generous portion of money hungry business folks, an overeager television crew, and an obscure preservation group. Now throw in a grizzled trapper and his mute guide, and finally
add BIGFOOT to the mix and you’ve got the recipe for belly laughs that’ll leave you wanting seconds,” said Vadnais. Besides a fun-filled evening of entertainment, the event is a fundraiser for the school’s drama department. Members of the cast and crew, 17 strong, will be ready to roll out the production which is guaranteed to be a success. Vadnais is hoping for a great turnout as she
has her sights set on using some of the proceeds to purchase cordless stage mikes. The mikes are around $100 each, so the size of the audience will likely determine how many of the microphones she will be able to purchase. The other goal of the play is to help “Foster love of theatre in our kiddos, encourage accountability and responsibility for each role, team work and co-operation. It really does take a village
(ensemble cast) to make a show work.” Also, making the show the work are drama teacher Barb Bienvenue, who is acting as assistant director and colleague Grade 7/8 language arts teacher Sara Pieterse. Vadnais said it has been a challenge to find rehearsal space big enough to duplicate the actual set size, trying to co-ordinate the classes to get enough in-school rehearsal time...and trying to co-ordinate busy
after school times and extra rehearsal times in the process. Vadnais said a big thank you goes out to teacher Jason LaFrance for being very accomodating and flexible with his class schedule. Vadnais said tickets ($7.50 each) can be prepurchased until the end of May 28, and encourages folks to do that as soon as possible. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the show will start at 7 p.m. sharp.

Hope fundraiser looking for angels of mercy Michelle Pinon Editor
Wayde Putnam has more than just a busy schedule. The Lamont High School science teacher is busy juggling the extra demands of helping out his father-inlaw Daniel Warren, who was recently diagnosed with gangrene and was forced to have his right leg below the knee amputated, along with a toe on his left foot. Mix in an 11-month-old boy Ethan, and other family commitments, alongside wife Angela, and it has become an extremely challenging time for him. But Putnam does not mind or complain, and says having the support of family, friends, staff and students, keeps him staying positive and alleviate the stress he faces. “It (the fundraiser) has been completely positive. Everyone wants to chip in wherever they can.” Putnam says he has to give full credit to his wife Angela, who set up the website page “When A Flower Blooms So Does Hope For Dan Warren.” Since Dan and his wife Linda have been deemed ineligible for disability and life insurance, and the fact he has no prospect of income for the foreseeable future, nor ability to pay for his prosthetic or any modifications to their home and vehicle, the couple face the prospect of losing everything. “They have also had to drain their savings and RRSP’s on multiple occasions to help pay for previous medical issues so they don’t have a nest egg any longer either to draw from.” While the outlook is grim, the good news since the health crisis began is that more than $6,000 has been raised to help out the Warrens via the website. Putnam’s spirit has been buoyed by the outpouring of support to date, and encourages anyone who hears their story and want to help out and reach out to them.
Both Wayde and Angela would like to extend a heart-felt thank you for the generosity of those people who have already decided to give
to the fundraiser, and say the website will remain up and running until early July.

A give away. This nice well maintained 1975 20ft. M.H. on a one ton G.M.C. Class with only 79,000 miles. Over $10,000 was spent on it to bring it up to 95% government road worthy. It is ideal for hunting-fishing and snow-boarding as it has a 454 GMC motor. It has lots of power to pull a trailer with a boat or an ATV. It is on dual gas and propane at average of 75 cents a liter. We went twice to Yuma and Phoenix and Palm Springs in California with it trouble free. You do not need a R.V. park as it is very self-contained. It is equipped with 3 solar panels, big cat battery, 1,700 watt inverters for 110 volt power. It has a new toilet, shower, microwave, 2 way fridge, 3 burner stove with oven, roof air-conditoner, a new TV and DVD and much more. It also has 2" foam insulation underneath, for winter and summer. At 84 years of age my health says stay home. I would like to recover some of my expenses. I am asking $7,900 or best offer. Thanks. Phone at home: 1-780-4346938 or cell: 1-780-977-3060.

Forecast of Fort Air Partnership up in the air Michelle Pinon Editor
MICHELLE PINON PHOTOS With the launch of the province’s new air monitoring agency, current air sheds, including the Fort Air Partnership, are facing an uncertain future despite the business as usual mantra.
A day before the official launch of the province’s new environmental agency, its Chief Executive Officer Brad Pickering stood before board members of the Fort Air Partnership and fellow guests at the annual general meeting and open house at the Dow Centennial Centre in Fort Saskatchewan on May 21 to unveil its plans. But exactly what those plans will mean for Fort Air Partnership and eight other air sheds in the province, was unclear. “I guess you could say everything is up in the air,” said Nadine Blaney, executive director of the Fort Air Partnership. Pickering told the audience that the Alberta

Brad Pickering
Environmental Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting Agency (AEMERA), which he described as an arms length organization, became operational a month ago. Due to the persistent and rapid pace of development, especially in Fort McMurray and Athabasca areas, Pickering said there is a strong need for credible and environmental data to be readily available and accessible to support the decisions of law makers as well as meet the expectations of the public. Pickering said they need to be able to manage the cumulative effects of development on the environment in a clear and concise way that is “open, transparent, and scientifically credible to the outside world.” As to how AMERA will work together with Fort Air Partnership and the other air sheds throughout the province, that will have to be discussed by members of the AMERA board. “We will be working through how it works,” added Pickering, who said the board’s first meeting would be held the following day, May 22. In the short term, it will be the status quo, stated Pickering and in the longer term, a region-
al planning framework would be developed. He went on to say that we (AMERA) is committed to keeping you (Fort Air Partnership) informed and where possible engaged and involved. Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske wondered how AMERA was going to influence the long term, and pointed out the progress the organization (Fort Air Partnership) has come since its inception and the trust that has been established with members of the public. While there is change on the horizon, Pickering told Fenske not to be fearful of it and that AMERA had no plans to disturb what its members had already accomplished in the past. In terms of funding and how this integrated system would work, Pickering reiterated AMERA is in its early days and there are a lot of issues and perspectives and details to be worked through. He hinted they would more than likely have to set up some type of distribution system in the future. So while there may be no easy answer, Pickering said ultimately any decision would have to be made by the government. Fort Saskatchewan Mayor Gale Katchur
wanted to know if AMERA’s plans would be incorporated into the land use plans in the Capital Region and Calgary? Pickering said all municipalities have their own land use plans, and AMERA’s plan would be incorporated into that once those regional plans were completed. Fort Air Partnership Chair Joy Wesley said AMERA is wanting increasing control over air monitoring in the province, wasn’t quite sure how a top down versus a bottom up system would work. Wesley described the Fort Air Partnership as a grassroots organization, and there are concerns in relation to autonomy, funding, data management, direct relationships with industry partners, etc. So while Pickering said everything is business as usual, Wesley wondered how the board is to make effective planning decisions in the future. Fort Air Vice Chair Keith Purves also expressed many of the same concerns as Wesley, and said the main thing is that they don’t loose the relationships they have built up over the past seven years as an independent organization.
