Theyfirst met ata dance attheBrookvilleSchool, andmarried onMarch 3rd,1932 inEdmonton.

They had twoboys and two girls.According to theirson Orville, it mayhave been love at firstsight, and he attributes thesuccess and longevity of hisparents marriage to a greatwork ethic. “They were ahard working couple, nosmoking, and drank only the odd glass of wine onspecial occasions.

As far as parenting, “Strict but fair. In thosedays there was not much time to put up with fool-ishness.”

Originally the couple lived in Brookville, thenhomesteaded in Rocky Rapids for three years,before moving back to Brookville. There theyraised Orville, Clifford, May, and Gwen. “Clifford

is deceased, the rest still live nearBrookville.”

Raymond farmed andworked at Elk Island, the

BA Refinery, drovebus, and raised

sheep and chick-ens.

Orvillesays his par-ents werevery com-munityminded.Raymondwas a 4-Hleader,belongedto theBrookvilleCommunity

League andlooked after

the hall foryears, and

helped build theArdrossan Curling

Rink and ArdrossanSeniors Center. Norma

was very active in theBrookville Busy Bees,making quilts, and work-ing hard for theArdrossan SeniorsCentre.

Raymond celebrated his 100th birthday onNov.18th, 2011 and Norma turned 99 on Jan. 31st,2012, and all hopes pinned are celebrating their80th wedding anniversary on March 3rd.

A total of 62 Lamontyouth between 10 and 14years of age participatedin the local Knights ofColumbus free throwchampionship at thehigh school this pastWednesday.

The annual event wasanother great success,and winners GarthBeauregard, AliciaHollonquest, Jared Bartz,and Adrianna Smyth willgo on to compete at thedistrict level, said chair-man Larry Koziak.

Assisting himthroughout the hourlong event were: Allanand Joan Borys, Chrisand Mylissa Greening,Colleen Koziak, andPhillip Malica.

Each of the partici-

pants were recognizedfor their participation,and the top sharpshoot-ers received certificatesfor their efforts.

The K of C have beenpromoting the freethrowcompetition for morethan 30 years, andKoziak has been actingas event chairman for thepast seven years.

Koziak, who is alsothe youth director forOur Lady of Lourdescouncil #6382, says theevent is a great opportu-nity for the youth to havefun in a larger group ofnew kids, in a competi-tive atmosphere, and berecognized for their tal-ents.

"It's a great way forsome kids to get thisexperience of advancingto higher levels at differ-ent schools that normally

don't get the chance. Ithelps build character,"adds Koziak. And fromthe feedback he'sreceived from formerparticipants, it has been asource of great fun andwonderful memories.

Last year, more than179,000 sharp shootersparticipated in over 3,000local competitions.

The Knights ofColumbus is an interna-tional Catholic familyfraternal service organi-zation with nearly 1.7million members in over12,500 local councils.Last year, Knights donat-ed 60 million volunteerhours and $130 millionto charitable and benevo-lent causes, sponsoringprojects to benefit theirchurch, councils, com-munities, families andyouth.

Assisting the chairman Larry Koziak, far right, were Colleen Koziak, Mylissa andChris Greening, as well as Allan and Joan Borys.

These students were all smiles after receiving their certificates from Knights ofColumbus free throw chairman Larry Koziak.

All eyes were on the shooter as he gave it his best shot. Each competitor got totake 15 shot, and the top scorers qualified to advanc to a district competition.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,On his website, MP

Leon Benoit claims he"takes the needs ofolder Canadians veryseriously," so why is heclaiming that your oldage pension will breakthe bank? Nothingcould be further fromthe truth.

In fact, experts fromthe OECD, leading uni-versities, and the gov-ernment itself have allsaid our Old AgeSecurity (OAS) pro-gram does not facemajor challenges, andthere’s no pressing

need for change!Canada’s Parlia-men-tary Budget Officer saysthat Old Age Security issustainable beyond theyear 2082. Paymentstoday cost 2.4% of ournational GDP. Whenthe Boomers max out in2031, that percentagewill climb to 3.1% butthen drop off again.

Conservatives likeLeon Benoit are reallytrying to raid yourretirement savings topay for their extremeideological agenda.

They say currentseniors won’t see their

benefits cuts, but theyaren’t saying anythingabout tomorrow’s sen-iors - hard workingCanadians who havebased their retirementplans around havingOld Age pensions avail-able to them.

The fact is, morethan half of Old Agepensions go to seniorsearning less than$25,000 year.

Canadian workershave paid taxes theirentire careers expectingthat these benefits willbe available to themwhen they turn 65.

Raising the age forOAS will mean thatsome will have to staylonger in the work-force, whether they’rephysically up to it ornot. Seniors’ povertyrates could rise by one-third. That’s just notright – not in a success-ful country likeCanada.

Scott Brison, MPLiberal Party ofCanada Finance Critic

Benoit for old age pension, or against?

It didn't take long before news of the shootings oftwo Mounties near Killam last Tuesday started tospread.

Within hours, reports were running rampant as towhat had happened, and what was happening.

The first thing that popped into people's minds wasMayerthorpe, and the slaying of four RCMP officers onMarch 3, 2005. They were executing a property seizureon the property of James Roszko, 11 km north ofRochfort Bridge near the Town of Mayerthorpe.

In this most recent incident, two RCMP officers wereexecuting a search warrant on a rural property east ofSedgewick south of Highway 13 at Range Road 121,when Cst. Sid Gaudette and Cst. Sheldon Shaw wereboth shot in the torso.

So one of the first questions that crossed my mindwas: Why weren't they wearing bullet proof vests?Whether RCMP officers may be or expected to beexposed to firearms or not, they should be wearing thattype of body armour at all times.

Getting wounded or killed in the line of duty couldjust as easily happen pulling over a driver for speedingor conducting a search warrant or responding to an inci-dent of domestic violence; and police should at leasthave the equipment to protect themselves as they arevulnerable to a whole gamut of risky situations.

Apparently, the plan to have new protective gear outto frontline officers over the next couple of years. Goodenough response time? I don't think so.

While the fatality inquiry report, completed ironical-ly on March 3, 2011 concluded the Mayerthorpe deathswere a "uniquely tragic event", many people are begin-ning to doubt that as an errie case of deja vu happenedagain almost seven years later.

The words from assistant chief judge Pahl mustseem chilling to family members, friends, and col-leagues of the Cst. Gaudette and Cst. Shaw, who werefortunate enough to have survived last week's shoot-ings.

In his findings, Pahl stated: "I conclude that this wasa uniquely tragic event which could not reasonablyhave been foreseen or prevented. I find there were nofailings in the training, experience, or abilities of theofficers who lost their lives."

But now, I wonder how the system has failed thesetwo officers, and potentially many more officers acrossthe province and country, by not equipping them withthe equipment and resources to adequately do theirjobs?

Now is the time to get answers, and if no answerscan be had, then to ask the right questions to makechanges effective and immediate.

There is no higher price than the loss of service andlife to something that could be preventable.

It all started withsome scraps of fabric.

And now, 13 yearslater, charitable projectsthrough the Loose Endssewing group continueto comfort the elderlyand assist youth in thelocal community.

Pam Jackman, ownerof the LA Sewing Centre,said a handful of seam-stresses meet once aweek to turn out lovelycreations for people inneed.

Some of the recipientshave included palliativecare and alzheimer'spatients at the healthcentre, residents at thenursing home, and resi-dents of youth ranches.

"We started out bydoing placemats," saysJackman. Then itexpanded into lap quilts

for the elderly, and pil-lowcases for the youth.

Jackman says mem-bers have a good timemaking the projects intheir spare time, and arehappy they are appreci-

ated by their recipients. She estimates the

members have donatedaro-und 150 to date withthe most recent donationof quilts this past week.

The quilts are distrib-

uted to palliative careand alzheimer's patients by Jody Zabel, who is a social worker at theLamont Health Centre."They bring a ray of sun-shine to the patients,"

says Zabel. It also pro-vides comfort and warmth to the patients.

How Cold Weather Affects Air Quality February 2012

When the weather gets cold enough, exhaust from vehicles and homes becomes a very visi-ble mist in the air. Is all that vapour simply more visible to the eye, or is the level of pollutionactually greater in the winter? The answer is yes to both questions.

Some sources of emissions, like those from industrial operations in Alberta’s IndustrialHeartland, stay fairly constant throughout the year, no matter what the season. But roaring fire-places, wood stoves and idling vehicles in the winter all add up to higher levels of particulatematter (the particles that make up smoke) and carbon monoxide (from vehicle emissions).

On top of this, cold temperatures and stagnant air have a way of creating a build-up of thesesubstances near the ground, particularly during a weather phenomenon called temperatureinversions. In other seasons or weather conditions, warm air sits near the ground and the aircan rise easily and carry away pollutants. In a temperature inversion, cold air is trapped nearthe ground by a layer of warm air. The warm air acts like a lid, holding these substances down.During a temperature inversion, smoke can’t rise and carbon monoxide can reach unhealthylevels. From an air quality perspective, storms are a welcome weather event. Wind, rain andsnow storms are sometimes called scrubbers because they help clear out and disperse thesesubstances of concern.

Fort Air Partnership is the organization responsible for collecting ambient (outdoor) air quali-ty data in the Heartland region and surrounding areas. Most of the time during the winter, airquality in the Fort Air Partnership airshed stays within good or low health risk ranges, asmeasured by the Alberta Air Quality Health Index. If AQHI readings do increase in the winter,it’s generally due to the temperature inversion phenomenon.

Indoor air quality also becomes a greater concern during the winter because of the amount oftime that people stay inside with poor ventilation. Without adequate circulation, carbon dioxidelevels can become an issue, leading to headaches and lethargy. Generally, outdoor airquality is better than indoor air, so the best antidote is to get outside regularly, open windowsfor short periods if possible and keep fireplaces and ventilation systems clean and maintained. Learn more about air quality in the Fort Air Partnership airshed Sign up for Fort AirPartnership’s e-bulletin. Visit www.fortair.org for details.
