Lamont’s Man of Steel lives to tell the tale of horrifying motorcycle crash Michelle Pinon Editor

It was Friday night at the race track in London, Ontario. Devin Pelrine was at the start line revving up the engine of his custom made nitro Harley motorcycle for his first test run of the evening on June 14. With 1,000 horsepower powering him down the track, the ASB Racing daredevil reached 6.65 @ 211; meaning he was travelling at 211 kilometres per hour and had reached the finish line in 6.65 seconds. Pelrine pushed the button for

the parachute to open, but it wouldn’t; and his attempts to apply the back brakes failed as well. With a concrete barrier in front of him, Pelrine partially nicked the barrier and tried to straighten the bike out before entering the sand pit. “It wasn’t my first time in the sand, but it was wet,” says the Lamont based drag racer, but the bike took a nose dive upon impact and started going end to end in the air. Pelrine went flying 30 to 40 feet before hitting the sand before everything went black. Devin’s wife Loralei was

The first responders carefully removed his helmut before the ambulance arrived to take him to the nearest hospital. His spine snapped in several places. “He had the exact same breaks and fractures as the late Christoper Reeve, (the actor who portrayed the character of Superman),” says Loralei. The first order of business was to get Devin stablized. Then a “Halo” vest and steel based structure designed to hold his skull, neck, and back together was put in place. He was on the precipice, dangerously close to the edge between life and death lying unconscious for four days in the intensive care unit. His mind was drifting as his body was pumped full of drugs. “It sounded like the Bronx and he could hear people crying.” To prevent a blood clot, Devin had to wear tights on his legs. While doctors didn’t want to perform surgery because they felt it was “too risky”; a shift in his spine left physicians with no option but to operate on June 19. Devin earned his nickname “Superman” over

Chipman Lions Club lends helping hand to flood victims Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter

Bob Stielow of Thiel’s Greenhouses in Bruderheim volunteered his time to deliver hanging baskets and patio planters in Calgary to volunteers with the horticultural society to distribute to residents adversely affected by recent flooding in the area.

Local greenhouse brightens the lives of flood victims Michelle Pinon Editor Overwhelming. That was the word Bob Stielow used most often to describe his first hand experience of deliverying 80 hanging baskets and 30 patio planters to Calgary this past Thursday to help bring some colour back into the lives of the flood victims in that city. Stielow, who owns Thiel’s Greenhouses along with his wife Nadine, was part of an initiative spearheaded by fellow greenhouse owners Michael and Ina Verheul of High Q Greenhouses in Morninville. They, along with fellow horticulturalists and members of the Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association, donated product to aid the cause. “I really didn’t know what to expect,” said Bob, who was driving the truck and trailer to a stop off point off McLeod Trail north of the Chinook Mall Thursday morning.”When I pulled up

it was really overwhelming. There were in excess of 100 people clapping and cheering.” Members of the Calgary Horticultural Society were waiting in the wings and erupted into applause again when the back doors of the truck were opened. “They (volunteers) were so appreciative. All I could say was thank you.” Bob said he couldn’t believe how well organized the volunteers were. “They were so well organized, so it didn’t take any time at all to unload.” Members passed hanging baskets and patio planters to one another before carrying them to their vehicles. “We had 18 carts and some loose pots,” added Bob, who estimates the value of the product to be in the range of $25,000. But Nadine says it wasn’t money or blankets, but their own special way of “creating a little bit of happy and colour for the season” to people who could really use the support.

The greenhouse donates to several community based projects and initiatives every year, and said this project was rejuvenating for them, and they hope it will lift the spirits of Calgarians during their time of need. Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch had high praise for the Stielows, and their contributions to the community, and now, fellow Albertans in need. “They are fantastic, and we couldn’t ask for better neighbours,” stated Hauch. “I’m very proud of Thiel’s Greenhouse,” said Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske. “We all know of their local community involvement. Their participation in the program to add a little colour to the lives of those who have been directly affected by the disaster in southern Alberta is a novel way of showing support. It is also indicative of how resourceful Albertans have been in identifying needs and filling those needs.”

The Chipman Lions Club has shown a great deal of dedication to charity with their recent donation that was brought into the Lamont Leader office of $1,000. The donation was for the Canadian Red Cross’ flood relief fund which the Lamont Leader has been collecting donations for. Acoording to Roy Cossey from the Chipman Lions Club, the money was their way of helping out. “They’re strangers to us, but it can happen to anyone” says Cossey, adding that you really dont know where the next natural disaster is going to strike. Cossey says that the

majority of their members are either retired or full time farmers, so they wouldn’t have been able to go down and help personally. However, this donation was their way of reaching out a hand to help those in need. The Chipman Lions Club has been around for 60 years, celebrating that milestone only a few short weeks ago. The club donates around $10,000 each year to multiple charities and organizations. All of their funds come from their lottery account. The money for these donations is raised mostly from their casinos that are held every two years, as well as minor fundraisers that are held annually such as a dance they hold as well as their

Grey Cup Raffle. Cossey states that in those two or three nights working the casino, they can generally make about $20,000. “It gives us a little bit of money we can do a little of good with.” adding how important it is for them to give back to the community. Recently, the Chipman Lions Club donated a great deal of money to the Lamont Health Care Centre, namely the Archer Memorial Wing, the Chipman Seniors Club, the Lamont Playschool, as well as providing scholarships to local students who are on their way to post secondary education.

standing grandstand shows highlighted the 40th addition of Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Ukrainian showcase July 5,6,7 in Vegreville. Grandstand shows featuring the Ukrainian Shumka dancers, Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Company, and the Volya Ukrainian dance ensemble thrilled the crowd with their acrobatic and awe inspiring performances. Each show was unique

and were greeted with standing ovations from near capacity crowds Musical interludes included the jovial and talented Darmohrai from Ukraine, Millenia, Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton and Viva Rozvaha. A Very special collaboration of artists from UB,Kalibai,Tyt I Tam and Trembita formed the Bita Big Band and treated the crowd to a medley of songs which were a tribute to all the bands who have played at the festival over the past 40

years. There were plenty of fantastic cultural displays on hand for visitors to enjoy including the popular and aromatic bread baking, blacksmithing and rope making. Visitors could also learn more about their heritage by stopping by the Kule folklore seminars and displays hosted by Andrij Nahachewsky, director of the Kule Centre for Ukrainian and Canadian Folklore at the University of Alberta. Capping off a jam-

packed afternoon, the evening dances featured four different bands that played to sold out crowds. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zabava was particularly outstanding with music provided by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;one night onlyâ&#x20AC;? Bita Big Band and Millenia. The superior Sound and professionalism from the musicians in these bands is second to none in Canada, and each nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowd filled the dance floor until the wee hours of the morning.

Unconditional Love A few years back I ran across a guided journal titled: Dad, Tell Me Your Story. I took a chance and asked Dad if he would mind jotting down some information and sharing a few stories. When I went to visit him last week, he gave me the journal back. I had almost forgotten about the book, but was happy to receive it and started to glance at it when I got home. What struck me the most was the honesty, integrity and sincerity with which he wrote. Dad always apologizes for his spelling and wondered if his writing was neat enough for me to read. It was very neat and I was thrilled to see his handwriting in pencil across the pages. I was surprised to learn several things about my Dad and a little more about myself through his stories, careful reflections, and sage advice. My Dad always apologizes for his lack of education, but after Grade 8 he had to help out fulltime on the farm to support his father and seven other siblings. Even though my Dad felt like he didn’t quite measure up academically; he measured up in so many other ways with his sharp instincts and common sense approach to things. Being mechanically inclined also helped out immensely in the day to day chores. There are several questions about growing up in the journal. One question that caught my eye was: What did your parents do for a living? He replied: My parents were farmers. Dad had one quarter and 120 acres to farm with horses. We had a threshing outfit, and threshed for the neighbours as well. We milked cows and had pigs, chickens, turkeys, horses. We had to cut trees down, haul them home, and have them sawed up for fire wood.” Even though there was a lot of hard work and responsibility that came during and after childhood, my Dad learned how to make the best of things, and put things in a positive light. He advised to be loving and compassionate, talk openly with your partner, and to be willing to compromise. He also talked about the joys of fatherhood and some of the important milestones along the way. We share a love of travel, enjoy meeting people and learning new things, and respect each other enough not to interfere in decision making; but open enough to listen to each others thoughts, be mindful of each others feelings, and open our hearts completely. So you see, I really am the lucky one, to have a father who loves and accepts me wholeheartedly. Michelle Pinon

Letter to the Editor

Is food Safety a priority?

In recent letters appearing in VegrevilleWainwright papers, MP Valeriote has once again chosen to put politics ahead of the safety of Canadians and their food. While Mr. Valeriote spreads unionled rhetoric, let’s look at the facts. Our government has made unprecedented investments in our food safety system. For example, Budget 2012 included $51 million over two years to enhance food safety, building upon the $100 million in budget 2011. Since 2006, the CFIA has received funding to hire over 750 net new inspection staff, including 170 meat inspectors. Mr. Valeriote voted against these investments for

food safety. Food safety risks cannot be eliminated completely, so all players must seek opportunities to learn and strengthen the system. That is why our government launched an independent review into the XL Foods Inc. beef recall and why we accept and are acting on all of the panel's recommendations. For example, our government is investing $16 million to establish inspection verification teams (IVTs), which will oversee the performance of Canada's food inspection system. The CFIA will add 30 new positions, which are over and above the number of inspectors currently in

the field. Our Govern-ment will continue to support the important work performed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and its inspectors. We will not make the same mistake as the previous Liberal government by balancing the budget by slashing provincial transfer payments and gutting core food-safety programs. That’s why our Government is finding efficiencies, streamlining redundancies and focusing investments where they actually strengthen food safety. For example, as announced last year, three provinces are taking back the inspection of their own provincial facilities - just as other

provinces already do. Food safety and inspection at these meat processors will not be impacted as all meat produced in Canada - either in federally or provincially inspected plants must meet the safety requirements of the federal Food and Drugs Act. Canadians gave our Government a mandate to strengthen food safety while balancing the books. We are doing just that. Canadian families can continue to shop with confidence that the food they are purchasing meets their high standards – they want and deserve nothing less. Leon Benoit, MP

Lamont Public Library launches summer reading program Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter

Lamont Public Library has opened its doors to the community’s youth once again this summer with their summer reading program. The program will be running every Wednesday of July as well as August 7 and 14. The program is a drop-in set up, and is open for any kids over the age of three. The theme for this year’s event is ‘The Amazing Race’, which features different places from around the world each week. ”It’s really fun,” explains the program organizer Krystal Kinash. This year will be Kinash’s second year running the event, however, she has assisted with it previously for six years. She runs the program with her mother Sharon Kinash, and with four student helpers to ensure things continue to run as smoothly as possible. Over the seven weeks, children will be able to take a trip around the world through stories and crafts, visiting Holland, China, Mexico, Egypt, Australia and Egypt. Last Wednesday’s trip was to Holland, where the children listened to the story “The Great Tulip Trade”, and deco-

rated vases as a craft. Some of the other activities children will take part in is some of the traditional Summer Reading Program games, such as lawn darts, the limbo (for Hawaii), a bean bag toss, as well as a sponge toss. “It’s very popular,” says Kinash, with all of the children getting wet, it makes for a great way to cool off as well. Another pleasant surprise is the return of Kerry McPhail with Kerry’s Kreations who will be doing an interactive skit performance to go along with this years theme for the wind up on August 14. McPhail performed for the library in April with a show that was well loved by both the audience and the

performers. “I wanted something different,” explains Kinash, adding, “She offered to come back for the Summer Reading Program. On average, the library generally sees around 30 kids coming in on any

given Wednesday, so even though there was only 20 that came on July 3, Kinash is sure it will pick up soon.

Recent weather brings down hail stones near Lamont Insurance protection through AFSC offers peace of mind and extensive coverage for producers As crops in the Lamont area start to grow and another hail season gets under way, high commodity prices and input costs are raising the stakes for farmers this year, says Chris Dyck, with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), Alberta’s provincial crop insurer. “Hail is a threat every growing season in Alberta because we have one of the highest incidences of hail in the world. But when crop prices and inputs like fertilizer and seed climb as high as they are now – at well-above average levels – hail becomes an even greater concern for farmers because they have so much invested in the ground,” says Dyck, senior manager of business risk management operations for AFSC. The Crown corporation provides the majority of hail insurance to farmers across Alberta on behalf of the provincial government. “Now is when many farmers start thinking about hail because as soon as their crops emerge from the soil, they’re vulnerable,” says Dyck. He points out hailstorms in late-May and early June have already triggered several claims under the AFSC Straight Hail program this spring in southern Alberta. Last year, the first Straight Hail claim happened on June 4 in the Peace region. “Crops have an amazing ability to rebound from early season hail damage,” says Dyck. “However, those early storms do often result in reduced plant stands and yields. The later hail strikes in the growing season, the greater the damage,” he adds, “because once plants have podded or headed out – usually by mid-July – it’s too late for recovery.” AFSC paid out just over $25.5 million last year on nearly 1,500 Straight Hail claims across the province, including Lamont County. The most severe damage was caused by two major hailstorms – one in early July that tore through crops from Sundre to Red Deer – and a second one on July 18 that cut a wide swath through fields from Millet to Saskatchewan. Several smaller storms also peppered crops with hail in almost every region of the province. “Last year was a good example of the fact that hail strikes everywhere in Alberta, not just in the highest risk area known as Hail Alley that stretches from Calgary to Edmonton, along the Highway 2 corridor,” says Dyck, adding 2011 was an average hail year for Alberta. What kind of hail season lies ahead this summer is anybody’s guess, he says. “If it’s wet and warm, we usually get more hail. If it’s dry, there’s generally less hail. But the weather can change so quickly, it’s impossible to predict,” he says, referring to the dry conditions experienced in 2009. “Parts of the province did end up getting moisture that summer, and we had hail losses of more $30 million.” Jonathan Hofer, who farms 5,000 acres of wheat, barley, and canola near Holden, says his crops have been hit by hail five years in a row. “Last July was one of the worst storms I’ve seen. The stones were golf ball size, and the crop was perfect,” says Hofer. It wiped out 450 acres of his canola and wheat. “As soon as I see the canola coming up in June and the moisture looks good, I put on hail coverage. With our overhead costs so high, we have to.” An increasing number of farmers are electing to take out Straight Hail coverage in April with their crop insurance – before their fields are even planted – qualifying them for a 2 per cent premium discount, says Dyck. “It’s an option we started offering two years ago for producers who want protection the instant their seeds are in the ground – rather than waiting for their crops to emerge and risk early hail damage,” he says, explaining crops that suffer more than 25 per cent hail damage before being insured with Straight Hail coverage become ineligible for AFSC hail insurance until the next growing season. “It’s a risk many farmers want to avoid,” says Dyck.

Remembrance ceremony for WWII Canadian soldiers Operation Husky 2013 honours Canadian soldiers in Sicily, Italy

It’s time to walk their path, and honour their sacrifice. This July, Operation Husky 2013, a non-profit organization, will be travelling with hundreds of Canadians to Sicily, Italy to commemorate the Canadian soldiers who contributed to the Sicilian campaign during World War II. This July marks the 70th anniversary of 25,000 Canadian soldiers embarking on the first independent role for Canadians in the Second World War. The Allied invasion of Sicily, known as “Operation Husky,” contributed to the liberation of Italy. More than 2,000 Canadian soldiers were wounded and more

than 500 died during the four-week campaign. To this day, these Canadian soldiers have received little recognition for their sacrifice. Steve Gregory, founder of Operation Husky 2013, leads the organization with hope to gain awareness for these Canadian soldiers. “Canadians need to know about our history, and our military history is a part of our contribution to the world,” says Gregory. “Brave Canadians paid with great sacrifice for the achievements this country has been built upon. What does it say about us as a country if we forget them?” See HUSKY EXTRA! P7

Environmental leader keeping birds safe Having parleyed her passion and love for the environment into a successful career, it’s no surprise Nikki Heck was recognized as an environmental leader with a nomination for an Emerald award. As an environmental advisor at AltaLink, Alberta’s largest electrical transmission company, Heck is always looking for innovative ways to allow transmission facilities and wildlife to coexist. “My job is to make sure our daily operations take place in a way that minimizes environmental impacts. Heck, who has a master’s degree in Environmental Science specializing in bird and power line interactions. Heck’s commitment to the environment and wildlife has been instrumental in helping

AltaLink keep the lights on while managing the impact on birds. “When I started at AltaLink in 2004, there wasn’t a lot known in Canada about the impact electrical facilities can have on birds,” said Heck. “After a lot of research and support from AltaLink, I’m proud to say we were the first electric utility in Canada to implement an Avian Protection Plan.” Heck spearheaded development of the plan, which is designed to protect Alberta’s birds from injury on transmission facilities. The plan includes programs for managing nests located on or near AltaLink facilities and the installation of visibility enhancing devices on transmission line

wires to reduce bird collisions in areas identified as high risk. “Increasing the visibility of the wires allows birds more time to react and avoid a collision,” adds Heck. “We’ve also partnered with Cantega Technologies to install protective covers in our substations to prevent birds from coming into contact with energized equipment,” said Heck. Since installing the covers, AltaLink has seen a 95 per cent reduction in bird-related power outages in substations with a history of bird contacts. “This is a great example of a win-win solution. AltaLink is providing Albertans with more reliable power and reducing our impact on Alberta’s bird population,” said Heck.

Operation Husky invites Canadians to sponsor personalized soldierʼs markers to commemorate fallen Canadian soldiers who participated in the allied landing in Sicily, Italy, during WWII.

Gregory’s son, Erik, then 11, was enthralled by the story of the Battle of Assoro, as told by Hunter, and a short while later, he chose it as his topic in the Historica Fair, a national history program for students across Canada. Unfortunately, the younger Gregory soon discovered that documentation about Assoro was scarce. As the Gregorys got deeper into their research and brainstormed about how best to present the

On July 10, Operation Husky 2013 will open the first remembrance ceremony on the beaches of Pachino, Sicily. The ceremony will mark the beginning of the symbolic march from Pachino to Agira and will include the unveiling of a new memorial monument to the Canadian forces. The second ceremony will take place on July 30 at the Canadian War Cemetery in Agira. There are 484 Canadians at rest on this site and Operation Husky 2013 plans to have one person in attendance for each of the graves. Participants will be invited to stand graveside, representing a fallen soldier and answering in their place as a ceremonial role call is performed. In the evening an event will include a

After 70 years, it’s time their sacrifice was remembered. Gregory’s inspiration for this project comes in a large part from his son, Erik. In 2004, the Gregory family’s dinner guest was Bombardier Charles Hunter, an original ‘39er, who regaled the family with stories of his experiences on the battlefields of Italy as a gunner with the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment.

Since 2006, the Museo dello Sbarco exhibit at Catania, a 20,000 square foot museum dedicated to the allied landing in Sicily, had no Canadian exhibit. On July 31, the opening of the Canadian exhibit at the Museo dello Sbarco in Catania will take place. The Canadian Ambassador will be present at the event. A concert will be performed by Canadian pipers and historians will conduct presentations. Participants will march for 21 days, planting personalized soldier markers, along the way, to honour each fallen Canadian soldier.

Newspapers in Canada alive and well BY Suzanne Raitt Newspapers Canada Newspapers are alive and well in Canada. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or on a newspaper site. And each day, more than half of Canadians read. If we just consider print newspapers for a moment, today there are 21 percent more print newspapers than there were in 1970. Furthermore, there were 10 new print newspapers launched in the last year. Canadians love print newspapers. Many newspapers offer flyers both in print and electronic form. Eighty five percent of Canadians use flyers and by far (90%) tell us they use the print flyer. Canadians are embracing newspapers across all devices. Research shows the average Canadian touches newspaper media six times in a day: two times in print, two times on the web, once via tablet and once via phone. Canadians want newspapers; they also want newspaper ads. They expect newspapers to have ads and trust advertising in newspapers both in print and online more than ads in other media. So why the misperception about our newspapers? The data for Canadian newspapers is not the case in the United States. And their bad news spills over the border. In the U.S., cities might have one local paper. In Canada, many of our cities have lots of options in terms of newspapers. More papers equal more competition which keeps the industry on its toes. As such, Canadian papers provide readers and advertisers with lots of innovative options such as more colour, unique ad shapes and placement, QR codes, multi-media opportunities and more. In the U.S., papers had the opportunity to get sleepy (and they did). Newspapers in Canada are vibrant. About a quarter of all ad dollars are spent on newspapers. This roughly matches the amount spent on TV and is more than the amount spent on internet advertising. Advertisers clearly agree on the power of newspapers

Fascinating history brought back to life at the Andrew and District Museum

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), July 9, 2013- 19

Charming tour guide full of great stories Michelle Pinon Editor

Pauline Cuthbert is like a breath of fresh air. As I open the door to the Andrew Museum the petite elderly lady smiles warmly and welcomes me into the former Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) station. The lobby area is very spacious and its architectural details and artifacts are strikingly beautiful and enticing. I take a closer look at a box of small vials of forage crop and weed seed samples from the Dominion of Canada Department of Agriculture. Then my eyes travel to a large trunk sitting on the floor. Inside there are issues of newspapers. The one I lay flat on a table is the April 29, 1967 edition of Canadian Farmer - Canad’s Oldest and Leading Ukrainian Weekly. The name on the mailing label is typed clearly and reads: Mary Tulick. Many of the artifacts in the museum belonged to former mayor George Topolnitsky and his wife Verna who dedicated many years of her life to preserving the history of the Village of Andrew and surrounding district. We look over to the train bulletin board and Cuthbert says she always smiles when she sees that the train is expected to arrive “on time.” The bulletin is dated July 1, 1956 and two trains, one from Lloydminster (No. 63) and one from Edmonton (No. 64) are expected to arrive at 10.23 and 12.29 respectively. Later on in the tour, Cuthbert shared that her father Steve Kruczak, “worked on the railroad,” actually helping build the railroad throughout several parts of Canada. “My dad and Uncle Jim helped build the railroad.” Born in 1946, Cuthbert remembers her dad buying provisions for the family before heading out on the road for six months. She also remembers walking or riding in a horse drawn sleigh to school in Ontario. Cuthbert and I moved into the ticket office, before going into a small parlor where there are two organs a couple of chairs and sofa/hide-a-bed. Cuthbert remembers one of the ladies who came to one a tour, stopping to play a couple of hymns on one of the organs. Wildlife, items from a hardware store, Singer sewing machine, personalized quilt, looms, buffalo skin coats, religious icons, pysankas, bridles, cream separator, mixing bowl to make bread, stove, washing machine, items from local businesses and the school fill more of the spaces upstairs and downstairs. There are too many things to see and study in one visit. The museum is a treasure trove of memories waiting to be discovered, and I, for one, am grateful for Cuthbert, other volunteers and contributors to the museum, who had the foresight and generosity to share part of their lives with other people.
