More than 700 people came out to support local firefighters during a two dayfundraiser in Lamont.

Fire Chief John Helton said the turnout for the 'Heroes in the Sky' event was"excellent" and far exceeded expectations.

The department received over $2,400 in donations and sold 115 Fire Within cal-endars during fundraiser held in the parking lot of Lamont Foods this pastSaturday and Sunday.

With the generous outpouring of support, Helton said the department will nowbe able to purchase four brand new breathing apparatuses for members. "We

hope to purchase 12 this year," added Helton. The new carbon fibre breathingtanks are much more lightweight than the traditional tanks which are made fromaluminum. Helton points out that the new tanks are 12 pounds lighter than theold ones.

Having a lighter load will definitely make a positive difference to the firefight-ers, who are already wearing 35 pounds worth of gear. It is also significant topoint out that most fires can burn between 400 and 1,400 degrees. "The fatiguefactor quickly adds up," noted Deputy Fire Chief Herman Sieker.

The focus of the event was definitely on promotion and recruitment, and Siekersaid they are always looking for volunteers to fill the boots. He encourages folksto attend the fire department's upcoming open house on Oct. 13th.

‘Baba’s KitchenMedicines’

“Folk remedies of Ukrainian Settlers”Author Michael Mucz

1:00 pmLamont Public Library


Shanon Skitsko is ahandy kind of guy tohave around.

He's the kind of manyou can count on. AndMike Klita knows howvaluable a volunteer theLamont area resident hasand continues to be asboth men are working

together to make lastminute preparations forthe local Terry Fox Runon Sept. 16th.

Registration for therun will begin at 12 noonat the Lamont RecreationCentre meeting room.Participants can chose tocomplete a three, five or10 km route. Afterwards,refreshments and prizeswill be supplied andawarded to participants.

Skitsko says folks canalso donate online if theyare unable to come inperson to the run.

Credit should also begiven to the Knights ofColumbus Star Council,who has been sponsor-ing the annual fundrais-er for cancer research forthe past 24 years in thecommunity. Specialthanks should also go to

the many supporters ofthe local run which hasmanaged to raise morethan $188,000. Accordingto the Terry FoxFoundation (TFF),"Lamont has raised$188,372 in the 24 yearsthey have participated."

"For a little town, wedo really well," statesSkitsko, who has beenvolunteering at the eventfor the past couple of

years. He is alwayshappy to see familiarfaces at the Terry FoxRun, but would alsoenjoy seeing some newfaces as well.

"It's largely a familyevent," says Skitsko, whoalso likes the fact thatnearly all of the moneyraised goes to cancerresearch. Based on themost recent three yearaverage, 84 cents ofevery dollar raised goesto cancer research. TheTerry Fox Foundationhas raised over $600 mil-lion for cancer researchsince its inception 32years ago. The founda-tion is one of the largestnon-governmental fun-ders of cancer research inthe country, and hasfunded 1,180 researchprojects to date. Currentmulti-year studiesinclude: lung, ovarian,colorectal, pancreatic,oral, liver, oncolyticviruses and many more.

In 2011, TFF invested$27.5 million in cancerresearch in three keyareas: discovery, transla-tional, and training offuture leaders.Discovery research isfundamental science,cure-orientated biomed-ical and totalled $15.6million. Translationalresearch, which includesmoving discoveries fromthe laboratory into theclinic, equalled $10.5million. Training offuture leaders in cancerresearch reached $1.4million.

Like many other peo-ple, Skitsko hadn't heardof Terry Fox until hisimage appeared on thetelevision screen. Eventhough he was only ayoung boy, the image ofFox running along thehighway is clearlyetched in his mind, andhe is glad to help keepTerry's dream of a worldfree of cancer alive.

Conditions for harvest-ing were ideal Sundayafternoon as thousandsof people came to partic-ipate and celebrate theseason at the UkrainianCultural HeritageVillage.

Basking in tempera-tures around 28 degreescelsius under sunnyskies, a variety of activi-ties, including threshing,were in full swing on thehistorical farm. Thoseold enough to rememberwere recollecting theirown days on the farm,and explaining in detail

the process of harvestingto those who were unfa-miliar with it.

There was so much totake in during the day asthere were threshingdemonstrations, hemppresentations, pickingproduce in the garden,canning pickles, makingof sour cabbage (kapus-ta), onion and garlicbraiding, flower andherb drying, featherstripping and quilting,and grinding grain withzhornal grist mill. Therewere complementaryhorse drawn wagonrides, grain deliveries,and telegraphs beingordered at the train sta-

tion. The sounds of music

could be heard through-out the courtyard whichalso featured an outdoormarket. Behind theSilska Domiwka RedBarn was the Kalyna IdolCompetition. TraditionalUkrainian food aboundat the Taste of HeritageFood Festival.

There was so much tosee and do throughoutthe day for visitors whowere enjoying reminisc-ing, visiting, and all ofthe wonderful experi-ences offered up at thefall festival.

Ukrainian Catholic Church of Spasa to be demolishedTracy HardingStaff Writer

There has been arequest put in to theLamont County tochange the historical des-ignation of the SpasaChurch so that only thebelfry would be the his-torical site.

At a general meeting ofthe parish, held onOctober 23, 2011 therewas a motion passed todemolish the church, butthe bell tower wouldremain intact. Where thechurch is a municipalhistoric site though, theyare needing to get thischanged before they canproceed.

The land title for thischurch was issued in1910, and the Spasa wasconstructed in 1924. Theland that it sits on wasdonated in 1904 byUkrainian settler HarryMaskalyk, and the ceme-tery site was deemed acemetery in 1903 by theOrder of St. Basil theGreat. The bell towercame later in 1938, andholds a significant con-nection with the Sistersof Mary Immaculate ofMundare who used toteach catechism in thetower in the 40's and 50's.

The church has beenwell known for its archi-tectural design, and forthe interior and decorinside. It was built from awood frame, and has alarge central open octag-onal drum with an onionshaped dome. The insideincludes gold stars on ablue vaulted ceiling andthe stencilled motifs andbands.

Over the years, thechurch has gotten rundown, and much likemany things with age isneeding a lot of workdone to get it back up toa solid standard. Fromquotes given it was fig-ured that the overall costto fix the foundation,roof and structuralissues would be over$700,000. When theparish talked to Alberta

Historic Places Researchand DesignationProgram, it became clearto the parish that match-ing the funds from theHistoric ResourceFoundation was unlikely,

as it would be a largeportion of the budget.

Once the historic des-ignation has beenchanged, the church willbe demolished over thecourse of the winter byburning it down. "This is

a heartbreaking decisionfor the parish to have tomake, as well as that thechurch has gotten to thislevel of disrepair. Myfamily had been apart ofthis parish since my

great grandparents, andmy family is buried inthe cemetery there. Itwill be a sad day for thefew of us left in theparish," says Anne MarieDecore, president ofSpasa-Muskalik.

Dear Editor:

It’s back to school timeand the issue of schoolfees is here again.Parents should not haveto pay school fees forrequired courses or pro-grams of study inAlberta.

The Alberta SchoolCouncils’ Associationbelieves fees should notbe charged for thingswhich are part of stu-dents’ required learning.For example, if a calcula-tor or a workbook isneeded to complete amath course with earnedcredits going toward ahigh school diploma, oris required to complete aprogram of studies man-

dated by AlbertaEducation, requireditems should be suppliedfree of charge to the stu-dent.

While fees may be nec-essary for some coursesand programs (sports,music, art), the basic pro-grams of study requiredfor a student to earn ahigh school diploma inAlberta should not haveany fees attached. Norshould there be feesassociated with elemen-tary programs and therequired courses thatprepare students for jun-ior and senior highschool.

Parents and schoolcouncils are rarely con-sulted or informed about

school fees before beingasked to pay them - whatthe fees are beingcharged for, why they arebeing charged, how themoney collected wasspent and, if it was spenton the things for whichthe fees were collected.Parents and guardiansare expected to pay a billfor which they have littleor no knowledge about,and whether payingthese fees will make apositive difference intheir child’s education.

Those doing the pay-ing should be part of theconversation first - aboutwhy and what the feesare for. And at the end ofthe school year, parentsand school councils

should be provided anaccounting of the feescollected and how theywere used.

In a perfect world, K-12 education would be“fee-less”. Although notideal, eliminating feesattached to requiredcourses, consulting andinforming the peoplewho do the paying -before they are asked topay - would be a step inthe right direction.

Brad Vonkeman,PresidentAlberta SchoolCouncils’ Association

Back to school includes school fees

A given. "When people call the fire department they

know we will come."Those were the words of a 24 year veteran fire-

fighter of the Lamont Fire Department who raisedthe question: "What if there was no one to come?"

Unthinkable. But given the fact that 90 per centof firefighters in the province are volunteers, itcould possibly happen.

Who would, at the drop of a hat, be willing, nev-ertheless able, to immediately respond to an emer-gency?

Herman Sieker would. He's one of the rare peo-ple who would risk life and limb to help someoneelse in their time of need. We should, however, bemindful of the question he raises at all timesbecause of the fact that he, and other husbands,wives, sons and daughters are willing to put it allon the line at any given time.

So I asked: "What does it take to be a firefight-er?" Sieker replied without hesitation: "Be on callseven days a week, 24 hours a day." I wonderedwho would sign up for that? But also standing onthe rooftop of Lamont Foods during the Heroes inthe Sky fundraiser were Rick Duiker, DarrenWilson and Chris Mihalich. They all want to helppeople, and that's why they're on call 24 hours aday, seven days a week.

But the reality is the Lamont Fire Department,along with other volunteer fire departmentsthroughout Canada and North America, arealways in need of individuals who would be will-ing to go that extra mile to help others no matterwhat. "We are always looking for volunteers,"admits Sieker. "That is why events such as this areso important," he adds, as members try to raiseawareness, funds, and recruit new people to thefold.

Sieker says members of the fire department arelike family, and do receive great support frommembers of their families. That's why he took theopportunity to acknowledge and thank the wivesand partners of the firefighters who also give oftheir time and themselves. It does not come with-out hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. Onething that is rarely talked about, is the real possi-bility of one of the firefighters, not returning homefrom a call.

While those words are chilling, it was a timelyreminder that we all should all acknowledge andexpress our thanks to firefighters for all they do,for us, and the communities we call home. Bravo,I say, bravo!Michelle Pinon - Editor

The Lamont MinorHockey Association heldits general meeting andearly registrationTuesday night at thearena meeting room.There was a reasonableturn out of people want-ing to rejoin the club, andget the kids back on theice.

For the better part theseason the schedule willremain the same, withthe potential of a fewchanges once numbersare in and teams are

finalized. There will betry outs held for someteams, for those playersthat want to move up alevel.

There was an increaseto the fees, and with theamount that the clubneeds to run the season,it is understandable. Aswell as the fact that thefees have not gone up ina few years, but the costhas.

The main topic of theevening was fundrais-ing, as the club is need-ing to raise a fair amountof money to be success-ful this season. A com-

mittee was formed, andplans are in the makingfor some new events thatthe club will try. The firstbeing a Halloween dancefor adults, with costumecontests.

The fundraising com-mittee knows that for theamount of money that isneeding to be raised(which is around$40,000) they can notachieve it all in Lamont.They are looking intodoing other fundraisersthat will hopefully belucrative outside of thetown limits.

Chipman Fire chief SteveRasmussen was one of 13 Albertafirefighters awarded with theQueen Elizabeth II DiamondJubilee medal. The medal was cre-ated to coincide with QueenElizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, cele-brating 60 years of her being onthe throne.

There were only 60,000 medalsawarded in Canada, which wentto people of all aspects of servicein this country. The people whoreceived this medal were recog-nized for making a significant con-tribution to a specific province,territory or region, or community.It was also given to those who

made an achievement abroad thatbrings credit to Canada.

Rasmussen was nominated byDeputy Chief Michael Seipert, forhis continued dedication to theChipman Fire Department, as wellas his tours of duty with theCanadian Military. Rasmussenbecame the Chipman fire chief in2009, after working with the firedepartment here in Lamont forfour years.

When Rasmussen joined theChipman Fire Department in 2009,the department was down to onlyfour people. However, withRasmussen's help, the number ofvolunteers began to grow. TheChipman Fire Department nowboasts a total of 18 volunteermembers, a number that has

remained steady since around2010.

During the time as fire chief, thedepartment has been very busyand the ability for the departmentto answer calls has greatlyimproved.

Along with his work in the localfire departments, Rasmussen hasalso been involved with the mili-tary his entire life. He joined in1997, and moved back to the areain 2007. During his time in the mil-itary, he took part in two tours inAfghanistan, and also helped withthe fighting of the B.C forest firesin 2003, and then joined theChipman Fire Department soonafter he returned to the area.

Many hands work together to completebeautification project in Village of Andrew

Photo by Michelle Pinon

Many hands make light work, and these were some of the hands of construction technolgy students fromAndrew School who completed the fence beautification project before the end of last school year. Picturedfrom left to right: Blaine Hrehorets, teacher Cory Kokotailo, Owen Serediak, Braydon Bryks, Mitchell Byrne,Zach Flasha, Bryc Biron, and Julie Wortel.

Cory Kokotailo knows how great the Village ofAndrew is, and he wanted to find a way of makingother people realize it as well.

That is why the school teacher decided to apply fora grant to beautify the community. Now that thefence project is complete, both Kokotailo and his con-struction technology students can sit back and

admire their handiwork, and take pride in the wel-coming atmosphere it has created for residents andvisitors alike.

It’s fitting that the fence, about 100 feet in lengthand eight feet high, is adorned with colourful hand-prints of students as well as the school’s picture andlogo “Home of the Wildcats” that was created byhigh school students this past spring.

“I wanted to add to the cosmetics of Andrew, andespecially the highway that is travelled by so manyevery day. I wanted a way to make people take noticeof Andrew, and what a great community it is!”

Thanks to his initiative, the school received a $6,000grant. “Skills Canada sends out projects like thisevery year, and last year I thought my class was morethan capable of working on a project of this magni-tude.”

Once the ground thawed, Kokotailo and his stu-dents were out in full force. Between track and fielddays and rain out days, they worked nearly everyother day, (approximately 16 hours altogether) tocomplete the project before the end of June.

“There have been many compliments on how thefence adds to the community and is very appealing topassers by. My personal most favourite part of thefence is the handprints. Every class in Andrew Schoolhad the opportunity to have their painted hand onthe fence.”

The project has not only left a great impression onKokotailo and his students, but on everyone whopasses by the fence to admire the creativity and hand-iwork of those who laboured to beautify their sur-roundings.

Owen Serediak checks the straightness of the fenceto ensure it is perfect.

AdvertisingMarketing Tips fromKilroy

Hi, I am Kilroy. I have learned a lot aboutadvertising and marketing in the past 30 years.I hope some of my tips can help both retailbusinesses expand their ideas, and local nonprofit groups understand promotion of theirevents more clearly.

Tip #1Know the difference between

readership and circulation.

Newspapers are still the most dependable and believable

source of advertising, but many newspapers brag about

huge circulation. Circulation does NOT mean readership. A

newspaper can circulate to Tuktoyaktuk but unless the

contents of the newspaper have an interest to the

people there, it is mostly just a waste of money.

Studies show most rural retail sales are made to people

within a 70 km radius of a business. Most events draw

people from within this area as well. Newspapers charge

extra for large circulation into areas where you are less

likely to draw customers. So even if you get some, you

have spent too much to draw them to you to make the

sale profitable.

Large ticket items like farm equipment and vehicles are

the exception. Because the price of their product is so

high, consumers will travel far past the normal 70 kms

because of the great amount of money to be saved.

Kilroy
