Lamont Fire Fighters fly with ‘Heroes in the Sky’

Michelle PinonEditor

Lamont's unsungheroes will be taking tothe skies Sept. 8 and 9.Fire Chief John Helton,along with fellow crewmembers, will be liftedonto the rooftop ofLamont Foods at Noonon Sept. 8 in a bid to raiseawareness and funds forthe volunteer depart-ment.

Helton said they aretrying to raise money toreplace and upgradebreathing air equipment,through the sale of ‘TheFire Within’ calendars. Inreturn, volunteer fire-fighters will be showingtheir appreciation tocommunity members byflipping burgers andpancakes during theupcoming two dayevent.

The Fire Within calen-dars sell for $20 a piece,and proceeds are usedhelp bridge the financialgap between whatmunicipalities can affordto pay and the growingneeds of volunteer firedepartments, includingLamont, and neighbor-ing provinces and states.

Lamont firefighterswill be offering free ham-burgers from 11 a.m. to4:30 p.m. on Saturday,and serving up pancakesfrom 8 a.m. and 12 Noonon Sunday.

For the past five yearsvolunteer fire depart-ments across Canadaand the United Stateshave partnered togetherfor the Heroes in the Skyevent. Chad Sartison,chair of Firefighters 1st,states that: "Funds raisedthrough calendar salesmake it possible for fire-

fighter to access trainingand equipment that theyotherwise wouldn'thave." Helton couldn'tagree more, saying thecost of equipment is verycostly. For example, anew breathing apparatuscan cost between $3,000to $5,000.

"The calendar initiativeis truly communitybased, and every dollarraised by the LamontVolunteer FireDepartment firefightersthrough the selling of thecalendar will stay inLamont."

Sartison added that,"The Heroes in the Skyevent is exciting becausedespite some naturalfriendly competitionamong departmentsabout who can sell themost calendars, in theend it is all about sup-porting each other and

doing something mean-ingful together duringthe weekend. With theanniversary of Sept.11, itis a timely occasion to berecognizing the immensecontribution of all fire-fighters everywhere whoday and night risk theirlives, yet largely go

unnoticed." Since the inception of

the calendar initiative,funds raised total over$3.5 million. "Last yearmarked the fifth year forthis event, and by theend of the weekend, over$200,000 was raised to godirectly to the participat-ing departments. As ifbeing volunteer firefight-ers wasn't enough, somedepartments even giveback to those in need intheir communities ratherthan using the fundsthemselves."

Sartison said, "Weknow that volunteer fire-fighters make a signifi-cant contribution to com-munities, but how canwe possibly measure it?Over $9,000 of Alberta's12,000 firefighters are

volunteers, and everytime you leave city limitsyou are in their hands.But the volunteer fireservice across Canada isin need of attention andfunding, and it is gettingmore difficult for ruralfire departments toattract volunteers.

“The goal of this cam-paign is to raise muchneeded funds, but per-haps more importantly,to raise the profile ofthese everyday heroes.My hope is that we canbuild awareness that willprompt the public to asktheir elected officialswhat their plan is for thevolunteer service,because this, more thanfunding, will help tobring about change."

Chipman residents, and residentgreen thumbs, Bob and ValerieDenness couldn't be happier or busierthese days.

Ideal growing conditions and excel-lent demand for their produce is keep-ing them digging, washing and pack-ing potatoes, carrots, beets, beans,cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, and onionsfor a couple of farmers markets in thearea.

"It (sales) has gotten better every

week," say the Denness' who have beenattending the Tofield Farmers Marketand the Ross Creek Market off ofHighway 16 over the past couple ofmonths.

"If we sell out, we have to round upmore," chuckles Bob, who has been fas-cinated with growing things ever sincehe was a youngster.

"In 10 years I haven't seen it thisgood," adds Bob, who can't believe theexcellent growing conditions they'vehad. Many customers can't believe thesize and amount of top quality producethey've purchased.

Scarlett Runners, Manitoba Oxheart,Sweet Slice Hybrid, Earlivee 11, andWaltham Butternut are just a few of thevarieties that are available for sale. Andthere's nothing like a little intrigue tokeep things interesting.The Denness'even have a mystery squash in the gar-den. While the seed package waslabelled spaghetti squash, the squashlooks like a pumpkin, but they are con-vinced it is a different variety of squashand not a pumpkin.

But there's one thing that isn't a mys-tery; and that's what caused the holesin the leaves of the kale. "Butterflies,"

says Bob, who has netted hundreds ofthem in recent months. The Denness'don't use any chemicals, fertilizers onthe produce; and want customers toknow that up front.

Both Bob and Valerie enjoy a chal-lenge, and are very satisfied that resi-dents in the region are showing theirappreciation in kind by buying theirhome grown produce.

In the meantime, its back to the gar-den to collect, wash, and package moreproduce for the week ahead.

As summer comes to a close, I finallyhave a chance to sit back and reflect oneverything that has happened this pastyear. Although the season has been amajor one for storms, it has also been agreat season for change.

This summer has been my first in thetown of Lamont, but it has also been afirst for a great many other things in mylife. It was this year that I found a placeto call home, and the first time in yearsthat I am able to keep the same addressfor more than six months, it is also a firstfor finding a place where I belong in mywork life as I started out this summerwith the start of my career. That is, afterI finally figuring out exactly how I wasgoing to go about post secondary andthe challenges of squishing my threeyears of high school into the span of atwo year period.

Although it is not an easy feat, it has sofar been a success. This past year, I havemanaged to cram so much informationinto such a short amount of time, that bythe end of it, I started to wonder if therewas anything else I would be able to fitin my mind before it just stopped work-ing. But here I am, at the end of the sum-mer, and within a short two weeks, I willbe starting all over again. It will be myfinal year, and between school and mycontinuing work here at the paper, I'msure I will learn even more than I evercould have expected.

It is easy to see why I will continue toremember 2012 as the year of endlesslearning, especially after being thrownheadfirst into my career, while I am stillpersevering and juggling high school.The months to come will be crazy, andhectic, even at the best of times, but I cansay with full sincerity, that I am lookingforward to even more learning to come.Jazmine Inkster

Summer ends,school begins

Dear Editor,

In 2004, after firstbeing elected to theAlberta Legislature, Iwas shocked to learn thatagriculture was the onlyindustry exempt fromoccupational health andsafety laws, mandatoryworkers compensation,and child labour stan-dards.

My recent call for aboycott of Alberta pota-toes reflects a degree ofshame as a citizen of thisgreat province and thefrustration that we havea government so domi-nated by entrenchedthinking. Our govern-ment not only places ourcherished food produc-

ers at risk of lawsuits forunsafe workplaces andcriminal prosecutionunder Bill C-45 (WestrayMine Bill), but endangersthe lives of those wholabour in paid positionsin commercial opera-tions.

I have no desire todamage our critical agri-cultural industry. Mygoal is responsible legis-lation that ensures, likeall other workplaces inAlberta, safe conditions,monitoring and enforce-ment of standards, andcompensation forinjuries and death. Ibelieve this is part of myjob as an elected repre-sentative – first, toinform people about

unsatisfactory condi-tions, and then to pressthe government to act.

The family farms ofearly Alberta haveincreasingly beenreplaced by large indus-trial operations, whichuse paid farm workers toproduce the qualitygoods that Alberta isfamous for, and, as aresult, is highly prof-itable for the owners.Albertan's want to knowthat their food is notbeing produced at theexpense of health andsafety, and that workersare fairly compensatedfor injury or death. Thatis not the standard todayin Alberta.

Since 2004, my col-

leagues in the legislatureand I, have called on var-ious ministers(Agriculture, Health,Children and Families)and members of the PCgovernment to changethis discriminatoryexemption as it appliesto paid farm workers,not as it affects the fami-ly farm.

In comparison to thestandards and protectionenjoyed in otherCanadian provinces, andeven in the US, Albertastands out like a sorethumb, particularly inthe absence of childlabour standards.

Don Messier inspiredJimmy Watsko.

The Lamont area resi-dent considers theCanadian legend the bestfiddler of all time; and

gave him the courage totake lessons at the age of17.

Watsko's 60 plus year"love affair" with fid-dling was clearly evidentSunday afternoon whenhe took to the band shellstage at the UkrainianCultural Heritage Villageto perform with mem-

bers of Millenia, and wellknown accordion playerStan Ostafie.

Ostafie and Watsko goback more than 30 years.Ostafie says he would fillin if Jimmy needed anaccordion player, for hisband Jimmy Watsko and

the Lumberjacks. BothWatsko and Ostafie havesons who play forMillenia, and their pathsstill cross occasionally,such as this occasion,Friends Ukrainian MusicFest.

Thousands of fans saton benches and lawnchairs, and there were a

few brave ones who tookto dancing during thespirited performance.Master of Ceremonies,Steven Chwok, of theZabava Program on 790CFCW, says Watsko, isan inspiration himself."He has mentored manyyoung people," saidChwok.

The "spry" 78-year-oldrecorded six albums overthe course of his musicalcareer. Watsko won twoGold FiddleChampionships, 1963and 1970, and has beeninduced in the UkrainianMusic Hall of Fame inVegreville and theNational UkrainianMusicians Hall of Famein Dauphin, Manitoba.

While Jimmy officiallyretired eight years ago,he still does special guestappearances.That's whenhe isn't busy farming his

1,600 acres of land northof Lamont.

Watsko plays by noteand by memory, andeven composed severalof his songs over theyears. Jimmy rewrote thelyrics to Your Land Is MyLand in Ukrainian withhis late wife Verna, whoused to play guitar andkeyboard in his band.

Another one of hisfavourite songs is theLumberjack Waltz,which he has played at

many dances, weddings,parades, and other spe-cial events. His selfdescribed "clean, oldtime Eastern style" fid-dling had audiencemembers hands clap-

ping, toes tapping, andseveral couples dancingmerrily along.

His favourite album,was the fifth that he pro-duced, titled: "DorohaMoya Mama" whichpays tribute to all moth-ers.

With over fifty yearson stage, Watsko says hehas learned differentnumbers, and whatappeals to audiences. Itis plain to see thatWatsko's audience andJimmy can't get enoughof his fiddle music; soplay on Jimmy Watsko,play on.

Cancer survivor gives backAfter battling cancer herself, she

reaches out to help others feelJazmine InksterStudent Reporter

Lamont resident GenieSkladan has found a wayto give back to the com-munity and fellow can-cer survivors by makingdresses for women whoare fighting breast can-cer.

The dresses she makesare unique from othersas she makes them with ahood, to help cater tothose who have lost theirhair through chemo-therapy.

Skladan started mak-ing dresses for womenafter she recognized theneed for women to havesomething they can feelgood wearing, but is stillfunctional to their specif-ic needs. She explainsthat as patients gothrough chemo, theybegin to lose their hair,and within a short time itfalls out completely.

Patients often willresort to wearing hats tohelp keep themselveswarm, but the dressesSkladan makes allowsthem to wear somethingon their head that match-

es the clothing they wear.Skladan was originally

a school teacher, butwhen she retired shebegan to get moreinvolved in her hobby,sewing. Skladan herselffaced breast cancer andwon in October of 2006.

It was after that that shedecided to start makingthe dresses. Sheexplained that her inspi-ration came to her onenight as she fell asleep ina hoodie. Eventually the

idea came to her tochange the hoodie into agown. Soon after, shemade herself a pattern,and the idea for thedresses came to life.

The dresses for themost part have beenmade in Skladans base-ment, and then donatedto the Cross CancerSociety. "The patientswere so overwhelmed"explains Skladan.However, the costs havebeen too much for her tokeep donating them.

She now is in theprocess of starting abusiness to be able tomanufacture the dressesin a more efficient man-ner. "I hope to sell them,and give the proceeds tobreast cancer," Skladansays.

Skladan hopes that heridea will help those whoare going through thepart of life that she man-aged to survive.Although she is nolonger giving themaway, Skladan decidedto donate one more dressto the Wild Pink Yondercelebrations here inLamont on Aug.31st.

The Lamont Alliance Church held their annual Vacation Bible School thisweek, which ran from Monday to Friday for two hours in the evening. Thisyear’s theme was "Amazing Wonders Aviation."

The children were at the church from 6:00 pm untill 8:00 and were treatedto crafts, games, and snacks each night. The program hosted activities forchildren from the ages of five to 12, and were taught the message of Psalm147:5.

Psalm 147:5 reads “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understand-ing has no limit.” When asked about what message the children should takefrom this week, Lamont Alliance Church Pastor Ron Wurtz explains that“God is powerful, and he created everything in our world.”

Throughout the week, children came to the church to learn the power ofGods word, and spend time with friends while listening to stories and takingpart in multiple activities.

The Vacation Bible School came to an end on Friday night with a closingcelebration and play put on for the parents to watch.

Travelling south onRange Road 181 aboutfour kilometres east of

Chipman the road nar-rows and grass lines themiddle and sides of thegravel road which leadsto the Tomashewsky-Gavinchuk Cemetery.

Grey clouds hang lowand blustery winds blowstrong as more than 80descendants of local pio-neers gather for a memo-rial service at theCemetery which has 18monuments and severalunmarked graves.

Cassie Gavinchuk saysthere are 26 knowndescendants buried inthe Cemetery which sitson a two acre site. For thepast four years, membersof the Gavinchuk familyhave been organizing theevent, and she is hopingmore children andgrandchildren of the pio-neers will be able to learnmore about their rootsbecause of her efforts. Sodo her fellow volunteersCynthia Smith-Gavinchuk, Willie, Neil,and Alex Gavinchuk,Marge Cikaluk, and JerryDubyk.

Following a shortprayer service, familymembers were invited toparticipate in the specialblessing of holy waterthat was sprinkled on thegraves of the pioneers byFather John Sembrat(OSBM).

Following the memori-al service, a catered roastbeef luncheon was heldat the MundareRecreation Centre. MCJerry Dubyk thankedeveryone for coming

before introducingFather John, who talkedabout the importance ofpraying for the dead."We pray for the deadbecause there is life after

death," stated FatherJohn. Based on the Bookof Revelations, "Eternalhappiness or damnationis based on your actions.How we live our life willdetermine our eternity,"added Father John.

"This life is short; but ashadow of what's tocome in eternity." FatherJohn emphasized theimportance of under-standing how preciouslife is her on earth, but toalso focus on life afterdeath.

“Praying for the deadis a very important partof the Eastern Rite,” saidFather John, and is prac-ticed each and everySaturday in church. Aswell, there are five timesa year that separatememorial services areheld for the departed.

MC Dubyk informedthe crowd there wereseveral projects beingundertaken by theCemetery committee,including maintenanceof the Cemetery andidentification ofunmarked tombs.

Elaine Stayura, a repre-sentative with theUkrainian CatholicEpiscopal Corporation ofWestern Canada, andBishop David Motiuk,also addressed the audi-ence.

"There are a number ofcemeteries that havebeen abandoned and for-gotten, but it's a respon-sibility and obligation ofthe Catholic Church toensure these people are

not forgotten."Stayura vowed to

assist the group in any-way possible, exceptfinancially, to ensure thatthe children and grand-

children of these pio-neers are aware of who isburied in the Cemetery,and help maintain thesite for years to come.

Stayura also recom-mended a committee beformed to ensure thegrounds are maintainedand boundaries definedin the future. She alsosuggested they hold afundraiser to assist withthose expenses.

Participants wereasked to fill out a surveyfollowing the program,

and the name of an engi-neer who identifiesgraves, was passed alongto organizers.

The fifth annualmemorial service will beheld once again thefourth Saturday ofAugust in 2013.

If you know of anyonewho may be buried atthe cemetery, or wouldlike more information

The 17,18, and 19 of august was a busy weekendfor the town of Bruderheim as it was their eighthannual "Heartland Ag Days." The weekend boastedactivities for both children and adults, with races andactivities filling up the three days.

The weekend was kicked off with the beginning ofthe chariot races on Friday, continuing on untilSaturday evening. Saturday also had a Pancakebreakfast, a steak supper, and free train rides put onby the chamber of commerce.

Overall, the event was a great success, with 300-500people showing up to the races on all three days."We're always looking for more spectators andevents," says ag member Wayne Shoepp.

Unfortunately, the weekend took a turn for theunexpected on sunday with the loss of a well knownface in the community. Fred Olson passed away onsunday the 19, and will be remembered as a hugehelp in the weekends events.

"The community has lost a heck of a strong friend,and a strong supporter of community" Shoepp says.

Among the unique events during the weekendwere a frisbee competition for the children who werecompeting for the chance to win a free bike. Alsopresent were the Graham sisters who gave an excit-ing show trick riding and doing a multitude of stuntsboth separately and together.According to Schoepp, the chuck wagon races werethe most popular event during the weekend, fol-lowed closely by the chariot races. When asked whyhe explained; "There is a fair bit of excitement withthe chuckwagons, and there is a lot of activity goingat the same time" However, there was a greatturnout for all events, with the majority of peopleshowing up for saturdays races after the parade.

Bruderheim Heartland Agdays remembered as success

Letter Cont. from p.4

When informed of this inequity, government min-isters and members have in many cases expressedsurprise and referred these concerns to various com-mittees to report back.

Knowing that children continue to work in com-mercial agriculture operations, this government hasmade no progress in addressing child labour stan-dards and have made measly attempts to argue formore safety training programs. They have watchedthe death and injury statistics remain the same overthe past two decades. In fact, according to thismonth’s report from Alberta Centre for InjuryControl and Research, the death rate for children onfarms is increasing. This must be investigated fur-ther.

Judge Barley, in reviewing the death of farm work-er Kevin Chandler in 2006, also indicated that moreprotection was needed and called for legislation,including OHS and child labour standards. Yet, nolegislation is in sight. This is despite Alberta having apremier who has talked for years about humanrights, and ministers who trumpet their commitmentto children, health and safety, and to equality inworking conditions for all paid employees.

I will continue to press for equal treatment of paidfarm workers in Alberta and am still hopeful that thisPC government will bring in legislation to protectboth owners and paid farm workers, especially chil-dren. It’s in keeping with our commitment to theDeclaration of Human Rights, the CanadianConstitution and the Alberta Human Rights Act.

I am also hopeful that responsible agriculturalgroups, including potato farmers, dairy, chicken, pigand cattle producers, will help bring Alberta’s labourstandards into the 21st century and make Albertansproud of our products, our people, and our place inthe world.Sincerely,Dr. David Swann – Alberta Liberal MLA Calgary-Mountain View
