Lamont baby defies the odds and survives risky surgery to prove miracles can happen Michelle Pinon Editor

Liam Shiah is proof that miracles happen.

The five-month-old Lamont resident has beaten overwhelming odds to survive surgery for a rare disorder called hyperinsulinism.

“It’s extremely rare,” says mom Melissa. Only 1 in 50,000 infants are diagnosed with hyperinsulinism; a disorder in which there is an overproduction of insulin by the pancreas resulting in low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and is the most common cause of hypoglycemia in infancy.

“That’s why he wasn’t tested at birth,” adds Melissa. But infants and children affected with hyperinsulinism are at risk for seizures and permanent brain damage resulting from the hypoglycemia.

There were complications during delivery, and Liam did have a seizure. He was not waking up and not eating like normal either, and two days after he was born, they rushed him hospital in Fort Saskatchewan.

Because his blood sugar level was 0.6, (normal is between four and eight), he was transferred to the Grey Nuns Hospital.

While there are some treatments that can be administered, Melissa

said none of them worked effectively for Liam which led to him having another seizure a couple of days after Christmas. He then was admitted to the Stollery Childrens Hospital.

Melissa, who spent most of the time in hospital with Liam started writing a journal. One of the eye catching entries stated: “It’s been 19 days since we got here now.

Just writing that number makes me exhausted. I don’t know when this hospital stay will end yet.”

A friend of hers started a Facebook page. The posts proved to be a constant source of hope in addition to many prayers sent from family, friends, and members of Melissa and her husband Kalvin’s faith community at the Lamont Alliance Church.

So inspite of the dark days, there were many bright spots to lift the family’s spirits. “We had lots of visitors, financial support, texts, prayers, meals and magazines...

“It’s been so amazing.

Living in a small community the support from work, the school, church and the hockey team has been phenominal!”

Liam was officially diagnosed and underwent a battery of tests before having to travel via Medavac to Vancouver on Jan. 17.

While multiple spots

(tumours) showed up on the PET scan, only one was detected and removed during surgery on Jan. 31.

Doctors predicted Liam would lose between 95 and 98 per cent of his pancreas, in fact, he only lost one per cent. Only one spot the size of a toonie was located and removed during the three hour procedure. “It was a miracle.”

After the surgery, there was a flood of doctors and nurses who came to visit the miracle baby.

Liam is doing fine, and they are now all together as a family - Liam, older brother Jacob, Melissa and Kalvin.

“One thing we feel fortunate about is having a glucometer to test his blood sugars,” So far, the readings have been within acceptable limits, and he is happy and healthy again.

“We are loving being able to be a family again... We are truly blessed to have great friends and supporters,” posted Kalvin on Facebook on Feb. 21st.

“God has used so many people to be a blessing in our life,” adds Melissa, who pulls her little bundle in tight for a hug and kisses him on the forehead before looking up and smiling.

So its true; every cloud has a silver lining.

Chipman’s volunteer firefighters honoured Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter

Family friends and colleagues were all in attendance at the Fireman’s Ball in Chipman on February 23.

During this exciting evening, guests were able to enjoy good food and dancing all through the night, all in honour of the firefighters from the Chipman Fire Department.

“There were about 100 people [that came], including the firefighters” says Sharisse Rasmussen, who is one of the event organizers.

Two members of the Chipman Fire Department were also honoured with special awards, which were presented by Captain Mike Seipert, and Lamont County Emergency Services Coordinator Randy Siemens.

The awards were given to Jennifer Cooke for “Firefighter of the Year,” and Siepert, for the title of “Officer of the Year”.

The night was lead by Seipert, who explained to the guests how busy a year it had been for the Chipman Fire Department, with 49 county calls, and eight calls within the village itself.

“There’s a lot of work for the members, and a lot of time and effort put in.” However, Seipert also says that it is this effort and the ability to help that drives the members to keep going with what they do.

Siemens also took the stage to say a few words to the audience, and lead them not only through the here and now, but also through the departments’ past, and future.

One part of the fire department’s past that Siemens held close was during the year of 2009, when the county had not one, but two major fires to respond to. Those he referred to were the “Bruderheim Fire” and the “580 Fire”. Siemens explained that through experimentation, they

had developed fire fighting strategies that had been recognized throughout the province.

Siemens also stressed that the job of a fireman is growing substantially due to the different expectations that are being put on them, especially in a rural area such as here, stating that everyone’s first reaction is to “call the firemen”. “[fighting fires] is only one tenth of their job as a fireman” “It is a very honourable profession, however it is becoming more and more taxed” Also, Siemens announced that there is a new training facility that is being planned for here in Lamont County, which will help not only fire fighters, but all matter of workers who have to deal with a certain degree of safety, including public works.

The training facility will be able to give hands on training in a variety of simulated settings such as different types of rescue, and multiple differ-

ent fire scenarios.

Chipman also has on schedule, a new vehicle coming to add to their already existing vehicle fleet, which will be completely unique in the fact that it is smaller, and able to travel closer to fight

the fire, no matter what the terrain.

“I hope you are prepared” was his statement on the matter, as he explained that this vehicle would mean a large increase in calls to the department, as Chipman

would be the only department in the area with this particular type of vehicle.

“If we all work together, we’ll get a lot of good stuff done.” added Siemens.

Lamont store owner volunteers time and talents for local women’s fashion show at Spring Tune Up Jazmine Inkster Student Reporter

Local clothing outlet Gerry’s Clothing is once again organizing a fashion show for the annual Spring Tune up event.

Store owner Gerry McNeill has been the volunteer co-ordinator of the fashion show for longer than she can remember, and says she enjoys every part of it.

McNeill has been running her clothing business for 33 years, and prides herself on having clothes that cover every size, and occasion. This is definitely something that shows during her shows.

Through the years, she has gained a lot of experience doing her fashion shows, and always uses items that she carries in her shop. McNeill explains that most of her work for the shows are fitting all of her models, and then writing about each one and what they are wearing. However, she says that the time it takes to prepare always depends on how many models you have.

Luckily for her, she has some long time models, that always take part. “I’ve had the same five gals doing the show ever since we started.”

The show for the spring tune up, however, is not the only show she does. McNeill also puts on shows in Fort Saskatchewan for the Order of the Eastern Star, and in Sherwood Park for Greenland Nurseries

“I do about three a year now” says McNeill, explaining that while she used to do more, she doesn’t any more.

The fact that she has a small personalized store is very important to McNeill, who says that there is so much online shopping, that many of the small stores are closing down.

“You get personal service [here]” she states. A rarity that is nearly impossible to find in the bigger warehouse stores.

“I get people in here from St. Paul, Bonnyville, Fort McMurray,” a list which could McNeill could easily continue.

Another thing that is important with her small store is the amount of long time customers who have been with her for years. “[It’s] what keeps me alive,” adds McNeill.

Lamont Fire Department pays tribute to its dedicated volunteer firefighters Michelle Pinon Editor

The Lamont Fire Department held its annual awards night Feb.23rd at the Lamont Recreation Centre.

Following a potluck supper, hardware was handed out to deserving recipients. While unable to accept his award in person Colin Price was chosen as the department’s Firefighter of the Year. Andrew McDonald was selected Rookie of the Year and Bob Mitchell was given the Janice Helton Memorial Award. The King of the Mishaps Award was given in jest and good humor to Devin Sieker.

Perhaps the most prestigious award was saved till last when Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner presented Bob Mitchell with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Mitchell said the award caught him totally by surprise, and he admitted after the ceremony that it was “special” indeed. On his certificate, signed by the Governor General of Canada, it states: “By command of Her Majesty The Queen, the Diamond Jubilee Medal is presented to you in commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of Her Majesty’s Accession to the Throne and in recognition of your contributions to Canada.”

Mitchell says he visited Buckingham Palace on several different occasions, but did not get the opportunity to see the Queen as she was not in residence. But on Aug. 2, 1978 he was fortunate enough to be standing only a couple of feet away from her. Mitchell, who had been talking with RCMP members, saw her royal highness emerge from the rail car. After stepping down, she looked up and said: “What a great day.” It was a moment he’ll never forget, as sure as the great honour that was bestowed upon him last Saturday evening.

“I was born in the hospital in Lamont,” says Mitchell, who believes he has resided in the community longer than any other resident. He attended school in Lamont and was in business with his father, and later with his two sons from 1950 to 1997. Bob was awarded a plaque for being the longest serving dealer for Imperial Oil in Canada, serving 72 years, including the time his father started in the business.

He also received a 50 year recognition from Ford Canada as a Ford/Mercury dealer.

He has been very active over the years with the Lamont Fire Department, starting as a firefighter and working his way up to assistant deputy chief. He

joined the department in September of 1951, and is currently a member of the organization and serving as the assistant deputy chief and historian. In June of last year, Mitchell received his 60 year bar for Exemplary Service in the fire service. He also received a 12 year medal from the Province of Alberta for his fire service.

“I have been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 51 years.” Mitchell has also served with many different organizations and participated in many different events in the community over the years.

Mitchell spent from 1974 to 1977 on town council, was an Air Cadet Flying Officer in the 1960’s, was a member of the Lamont Lions Club from 1961 to 1974, belonged to the Lamont Fish and Game Association from 1950 to 1980, and was a Master of the Masonic Lodge from 1972 to 1977.

When Mitchell was 11-years-old he joined the Air Cadets and was involved with the Cadet Rifle Team for several years and this team won two consecutive national titles in competition as well as being the Drum Major of the cadet band. He also received a flying scholarship and his pilot’s license while involved with the cadets.

An avid sportsman he played hockey, and later organized and sponsored many minor hockey teams.

He was instrumental in the starting and organization

of the local Intermediate C Hockey Team.

While his list of achievements is long and impressive, Mitchell is very humble and gracious, and not wanting to draw too much attention to himself.

However, his dedication and willingness to help others will leave an indelible mark in the community for generations to come.

Letter: Break in dance security measures could have led to trouble Dear Editor, A volunteer organization planned to sponsor and provide supervision of a teen dance in our community hall had good intentions.

However, last minute changes were made that resulted in a teen walking into the hall with an air soft gun.

The following captures the chain of events that led up to the discovery plus provides lists of questions and thoughts of how an event such as this could be improved upon. *Volunteer organization decides to sponsor a teen dance in the local community hall. *A teen dance committee is struck, but has no formal meetings.

Club members and volunteers meet with RCMP Feb. 7 to review procedures and rules. At this meeting it was agreed that: each teen entering the dance would register by printing their name on a form, provide a home number, and provide proof of age (student card will suffice).

Dance rules were: once you’re in you’re in,

not in and out; coats and jackets will be checked and left in the coat room, no gum, food or beverages will be brought into the dance, no drink cups or water bottles will be brought into the dance.

A canteen is provided.

Chips, chocolate bars and pop $1. Report any unusual behaviour to a chaperone.

Supervisors and chaperones will be wearing safety vests. They are here to make sure you are safe, your questions are answered and that you have a good time.

Please use the garbage containers provided for your garbage. absolutely no horseplay, no running around the hall. If you cause a disturbance, you will be asked to leave and your parents will be called to pick you up.

These points were discussed in depth and agreed upon by all in attendance at the meeting with the RCMP, club members and volunteers.

What happened next shows how quickly processes can get out of control and how change can impact the safety of our children.

A small group of club members, 30 minutes prior to the doors of the event being opened, made the decision to disregard the rules that were agreed upon. This group determined that there was no need to check for proof of age, nor ensure coats were checked and left in the coat room, nor checked for food or beverages being brought into the dance.

It was at this point that some volunteers left the facility as they could not condone the group’s decision to start the event by not following the agreed upon rules.

This unprofessional behaviour on behalf of a select few volunteer club members resulted in a teen entering the hall with an air soft gun. Not a high powered hand gun, but an air soft gun.

The point is though, by not following the rules’ there existed the potential for a high powered hand gun to be brought in to the hall or any other type of weapon that could be concealed in a hoodie.

Folks, you may think that this is an exaggera-

tion; however, that is just what the citizens of Taber, Alberta thought prior to the following fatal event: There was a school shooting that occurred on April 28, 1999, at WR Myers High School in Taber, Alberta. The gunman, 14-year-old Todd Camerson Smith, walked into his school and began firing at three students in the hallway, killing one student and wounding another student. This shooting took place only eight days after the Columbine High School Massacre in Littleton, Colorado and is widely believed to have been a copycat crime. It was the first fatal high school shooting in Canada in more than two decades.

There are many questions which come to mind and thoughts of opportunities to improve: *How does a teen leave his/her home for a dance totting a hand gun? *On discovery of the gun, were the RCMP immediately contacted? *Was a proper on site investigation conducted to identify the youth

who brought the gun to the dance? *Was the you removed from the dance? *Were the parents of the youth contacted and requested to come and pick their child up? *Have the school authorities, where this teen attends school, been advised of the unacceptable behaviour that the youth displayed at the teen dance? *Why does our town not ensure there is a proper security processes in place for events at our community hall particularly teen dances? *Why does our town permit a volunteer organization sponsor a teen dance and be trusted with supervising our children without adhering to rules that were agreed to.

Folks, our children need to know we love them, we value them, and that we are concerned about their safety and security. They need to know that we, adults and leaders of our community, strive to provide a safe environment for them.

We are extremely fortunate that what hap-

pened the evening of Feb. 16 in our community hall ended without major incident.

Lessons learned: For all future similar events requested by any volunteer organization to be held in a community owned facility that that organization meet with our town administration, review all the rules and regulations with a strong focus on safety and security. There must be an understanding and both parties agree to substantial and meaningful rules will be enforced.

Random walk through during the event by a town staff member.

Should there be any discovery of deviating from the rules, immediately shut the teen dance down.

These lessons learned are very important steps to be taken to ensure the safety and security of our children. By not taking tough measures and facing the brutal truth, we are setting ourselves up for failure.

Regards, Bob Davies

Letter: Youth dance in Bruderheim was an excellent beginning Dear Editor, By all accounts the teen dance was a huge success.

Our hope is that they will continue due to all the positives that these events provide for youth and families in the community and that this response assists with a representation of the evening.

The evening is probably best summed up by comment that the Town received from a parent volunteer who was in attendance: “The Teen Dance was an exceptional success and fun for Parents and Kids. I look forward to the next dance and hope to include 12 year olds (Grade 7) next time so my youngest can enjoy

the night as well. It was 100% safe and fun and, by my memory of the night, all rules were enforced and followed.

“We were fortunate to have the RCMP visit with us and the kids and I think the kids enjoyed seeing them too. I have no problem encouraging my kids and their friends to attend future dances because, by my experience with the last one, I know they are 100% safe and secure. All the kids very politely said thank you for the fun night and hoped we would do it again. It would be a tragedy and a travesty if we did not.

Some of the practices put into place by organizers and shared with us included:

-RCMP came to a meeting with volunteers before the dance to go over ways to have a safe event. RCMP outlined some basic rules to the volunteer dance supervisors which have proven to be most useful at these types of event. He also indicated the RCMP would have an increased presence in Bruderheim the night of the dance in case they were required.

The force was not required since the dance did run smoothly. This was due to the RCMP taking the time to work with local volunteers on what to look out for and how to supervise the event.

Records were kept of all the kids that came to the dance, they each had

to sign in and give their phone numbers and birthdates Kids were not allowed to leave the premises after they were signed in.

(No in and out) RCMP came to the even at 9:40 pmand congratulated the volunteers on a successful event, where the kids were having fun and being good.

Under a long standing Rental Agreement with the Lions, the town rents the Community Hall to the Lions. It is then the responsibility of the Lions to adhere to the agreement. On-site security in the form of Lions members and parents was deemed necessary from the Lions perspective. As the activity at the Community Centre

would fall under the Lions Insurance policy, the club felt it was important to be there as well as the fact, the Lions Club sponsored the event.

Organizers did indicate that an airsoft gun was found, it was not on a person, and was confiscated and that there were no problems stemming from it. Under the suggestion of the RCMP to have all coats checked into the coat room, an air gun was found in a checked coat, and kept by the volunteer supervisors at the dance. This item did not interfere with the dance.

The dance was a first attempt to provide enjoyment for the youth of the community. If

future youth dances are to take place, the Lions and volunteer parent supervisors will only be better prepared and experienced to handle the situation in a safe and enjoyable manner, as they proved at this event.

The town recognizes the need to provide activities for the youth of the town to participate in. The Lions wanted to do something to recognize this need and with the town’s permission moved forward with their sponsorship of the Teen Dance.

Regards, Karl Hauch Mayor Town Bruderheim

Mundare area resident fights to save historic church from going up in flames Michelle Pinon Editor

Cliff Moroziuk is a man on a mission.

The Mundare area resident is making a last ditch effort to save his beloved parish of Spasa Muskalik from going up in flames.

“I am committed to saving this church because it stands as an icon to our pioneers who worked together to build this church in much more challenging times then what we are experiencing today.”

Moroziuk says that to the best of his knowledge, Spasa Muskalik is one of only six churches of this nature in Alberta to have had famous artist Peter Lipinski paint its interior. “It is worth sav-

ing as a legacy to all of the descendents who had a vision of this parish over 100 years ago and made this vision reality.”

Moroziuk attended services at the church with his family. Since 2003 he has been directly involved in the parish with fundraising, cleaning, and cutting of the grass on the parish grounds.

It is plain to see that Moroziuk has roots and special ties with the church and its exterior and interior beauty.

Because of the church’s architectural features, it has been photographed by many shutter bugs over the years.

In terms of the structure, Moroziuk says it is sound enough to under-

go renovations. “My vision is to put the church on a secure base of support, re-do the roof, paint the exterior of the church, replace the windows, wash and clean the interior so the church can be restored to as close to its original state as possible for future generations to enjoy as a lasting legacy to our Spasa pioneer families.”

Moroziuk has received a lot of support from other parishoners and descendants of families who once attended the church. He has garnered enough names on a petition to present to members of the executive.

“This will request the executive to have an advertised special public meeting so all parish-

ioners will have the opportunity to attend and voice their views.”

He has received $25,000 in pledges to date; money that will be put towards renovations if his request to save the church is successful.

Moroziuk has also received an offer by an engineering firm to assist with repairs to the foun-

dation.

Tom Bradka, vice-president of engineering for Helical Pier Systems, made the offer to Moroziuk after watching a clip of him being interviewed by CTV News last week.

Moroziuk says the offer is very generous indeed, and he is touched by the outpour-

ing of support he has received in the last couple of weeks. “We plan to raise as much funds privately and corporately as possible. All parishes are working hard to maintain financial support to keep their church, cemetary and grounds maintained.”

Ukrainian Music Workshop ready to hit high note Michelle Pinon Editor

Good music. Good food. Good fun.

That’s what you can expect during the Ukrainian Music Workshop in Mundare March 9th.

The eighth annual event promises to be exciting for both participants and audience members who will be treated to a concert at 7 p.m. at the Mundare Recreation Centre.

Organizers Charles and Debby Gargus are very happy to be able to

put on the workshop and concert once again this year and to help promote and preserve Ukrainian music in the process.

While the average number of fiddlers varies from year to year, from 30 to 65, with dulcimer, keyboard and accordion students as well. Not only do young people participate, but some registrants are in their eighties, state the Gargus’.

Students arrive between 8 and 8:30 a.m. “They meet with instructors and head off to morning classes where

they learn how to play music with a Ukrainian flavour,� say Debby and

Charlie.

There is a minimal $5 cover charge for adults at

the concert.

Folks are encouraged to bring their instru-

ments and join in the funfilled jam session following the concert.

County to host water drainage workshop Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont County will be teaming up with several other municipalities to host a joint Water Drainage Workshop at St. Michael on March 21st.

Tori Dey, assistant agricultural fieldman, says drainage issues affect all producers and will be

addressed thoroughly by representatives from Alberta Environment and the county. “The key point of the workshop we are going to focus on is what is legal and illegal drainage because in the spring time many producers redirect water off of their fields to allow seeding to be completed in lower areas.�

Dey wants the session

to be an open type of discussion where landowners can ask lots of questions about the issues they see.

She is also expecting a good crowd for the event.

Even though the event is free to attend, participants must pre-register with the agricultural services department before March 15th.

Powerhouse Andrew Atom Aces plow their way through to Provincial Championships Congratulations to the Andrew atoms on winning the Zone 2 atom D Hockey Championship!!

This little powerful team of 10 players has had an exciting year so far full of great experience and success! They finished first in their regular league season in the 1660 league in Atom Tier 3. They will begin playoffs on the weekend of March 9 as they have a bye in their first round.

They participated in Hockey Alberta Provincial Play Downs since the end of January and competed in a zone of 14 teams to come out victorious!

They played Lamont in their first round and defeated them 18-1. In their second round they came across Mannville and handled them quiet easily 14-4. In their third round they played Thorhild and defeated them 8-5 in the first game and 8-1 in the second game.

The provincial play downs are series of 2 games total points unless one of them defeats another team by 10 goals, then the 2nd game of the series is unnecessary.

In their 4th and final round, they played Marwayne before a great crowd at the Andrew Arena. They put on a show and defeated Marwayne 8-1.

They returned to Marwayne this past Sunday and held their ground. The Andrew Atoms handed them 9-4 loss to win the zone championship! They will now compete in Alberta Atom D provincials which begin March 14 and conclude on March 17 in Consort, Alberta.

This tournament consists of seven Alberta zone winners plus a host team. They will now compete against other teams in their pool which are: Consort, Bentley, and Pembina.

Other teams involved are

Everyone welcome

The provincials begin on Thursday with opening ceremonies and a banquet. This is sure to be great experience for our team!

As many of you are aware, this little Atom team which consists of nine and ten year olds, is the only minor hockey team in Andrew and they have broke a 27 year drought of a team from

Andrew winning a zone championship!

This team’s success is of course due to all the great playing ability of our team but we must thank the coaching staff which consists of Jamon

Fedorvich, Wes Sidor and Brent Sharun. It takes great coaching to bring the best out of our players!

Millenia’s latest release hits the mark on every level SOUNDS UKRAINIAN Andrew McDonald

In 2000, a group of young energetic musicians set out to revive and preserve western Canadian Ukrainian music for audiences to enjoy. Thirteen years later, Millenia continues to thrive and challenge many western Canadian bands in showcasing their raw talent and energy. There is no doubt that the third CD the band has produced hit the mark on every level.

Original band members Bobby Yakoweshen (Drums/vocals) and Johnny Wacko (keyboards/Lead vocals) have assembled one of the top Ukrainian bands in Canada with the addition of Ryan Pugh (Guitar/fiddle/vocals),

Shawn Ostafie (accordion/Dulcimer/ bass) and Mike Brazeau (bass/guitar/vocals).

Having all members able to provide vocals has improved the overall dynamic of the group and extremely enhanced the quality of Millenia’s newest compilation.

The CD provides the listener with familiar favorites such as the “kolomeyka” and “Orisya” and follows through with the original “little dancer”, written about Ryan Pugh’s daughter and the edgy and awesome “Moloko”.

You wouldn’t think a song about milk (the literal translation of moloko) would be awesome, but somehow the band manages to make it work with an edge remi-

niscent of English music bands of the late 90’s. In its entirety, the Bratya CD delivers everything you could ask for from a superior Ukrainian band. Great original tracks, fantastic use of traditional instruments, and great sound from musicians with rich ties to their Ukrainian roots.

Millenia isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Their next project is a “live” CD recorded this February in Edmonton and will debut in the latter part of 2013.

More information on Millennia can be found at milleniaband.com and all three CD’s can be downloaded via Itunes.

Mundare students discover wonders of science Four Lucky students experience hands on learning with “Wisest” at the University of Alberta WISEST (women in scholarship, engineering, science and technology) has a mandate to investigate the reasons why few young women were choosing careers in science and engineering, to take action to alter the situation, and to work to increase the percentage of women in decisionmaking roles in all fields of scholarship.

Chipman Players serve up some mead and plenty of laughs in Chickenheart Enthusiastic audience displays appreciation with standing ovation for local actors

Ye Olde tale of Chickenheart draws on the timeless tale of true love. There are plenty of adventures and misadventures in Craig Sodaro’s play of a medieval maiden who is bethrothed to a treacherous tax collector, and takes refuge in the Abbey of the Little Sisters of St. Meade where the fun and games take centre stage for all to enjoy.
