‘Long overdue’ seniors lodge review panel launched Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Province announced on Thursday the launch of a new seniors lodge review panel. Jason Nixon, Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services, says, “Seniors lodges play an essential role in our housing system. These facilities are important to our communities and the residents who live there, especially in rural Alberta. The Seniors Lodge Review Panel will work closely with our partners to review the program and ensure that this program is sustainable for the future.” Co-chairing the panel will be Brandon Lunty, MLA for Leduc-Beaumont, who has also acted as Alberta Seniors and Housing Intergovernmental Relations
Policy Coordinator. Lunty also ran as a candidate for the UCP Nomination in Camrose in 2018. Nixon said of Lunty’s appointment, “MLA Lunty worked for my department in the housing division before being elected as an MLA, and when it comes to the work that my department does on this important issue, I can think of no one better in caucus to advocate and to be able to make sure that we end up with the best seniors lodge program for generations to come.” Co-Chair with Lunty will be Arlene Adamson, President of the Alberta Seniors and Community Housing Association. She says, “The Seniors Lodge Program is a unique Alberta solution that plays a critical role in supporting seniors to live well in communities, and it will
be even more important as the need for housing affordability and supports increases to serve our aging population well. “I am honoured to co-chair a review of this program, representing ASCHA’s members, to ensure that it meets the needs of seniors, communities, and housing providers today and into the foreseeable future.” The Lodge program was last reviewed in 2015. The Seniors Lodge Program supports 10,850 units in 149 lodges across the Province. The program provides services to residents, including meals, laundry, housekeeping, and recreational programming. Nixon says this review will also provide an opportunity to smooth transitions between lodges and continuing care homes to ensure the needs of sen-
iors will be met when they need to access more care. He calls the review “long overdue,” noting it was drafted in 2015, “and a tremendous amount of things have changed between 2015 and now.” Nixon said the panel will hear from Albertans and consult with a variety of stakeholders, and will take their feedback on what the needs of the lodge program are. He says, “It’s important for our communities. “I want to stress, our communities are better when Grandma and Grandpa are living with us.” Big Knife Villa in Forestburg is classified as a lodge under the program, managed by The Bethany Group since 2011, under the direction of the Flagstaff Regional Housing Group.

Weather caused $3 billion in losses in 2023 Brett McKay Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Insured damage from severe weather events totalled over $3.1 billion in 2023, the fourth-worst year on record, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Last year was also the second year in a row damages from severe weather have reached more than $3 billion. Though 2023 will be remembered for the catastrophic, coast-to-coast wildfires, many communities were also rocked by torrential rains and hailstorms. Flooding in central Alberta in June caused $40 million in damage, and losses from Canada Day storms in Alberta and Saskatchewan totalled $100 million. Because of increasing losses and the expectation severe weather events will increase in strength and frequency in the future, Canada is being viewed as a riskier

place to insure. Already 1.5 million high-risk Canadian households can't get affordable flood insurance, according to the IBC. "The federal government committed to a national flood insurance program in last year's federal budget. However, progress has stalled, leaving too many Canadians vulnerable to the effects of our changing climate," Craig Stewart, IBC's vicepresident of climate change and federal issues, said in a news release. "Canadians now need the federal government to move forward with this program and announce details in the 2024 federal budget. The homes and financial health of over 1.5 million Canadians are at high and growing risk." Flooding is Canada's greatest climate change risk, according to a 2022 report from a Public Safety Canada task force. The Government of
Canada's commitment to create the first national flood insurance program includes considerations for damages from storm surge, like those experienced in Atlantic Canada during hurricanes, river bed flooding, and urban overland flooding. "Once launched, this program would provide Canadians living in highrisk areas with affordable financial protection and peace of mind when a flood strikes. Details of the program must be shared with our industry and the provinces this winter if it's to be operational before the next federal election," Stewart said. The $3.1 billion cost identified by the Insurance Bureau gives some indication of the rising cost of climate change for insurers, taxpayers, and governments.

$108 billion between 2022 and 2050, or about 0.2 per cent of GDP per year. Flooding alone is expected to cost the Canadian economy $30 billion by 2050. The Government of Alberta is forecasting an expense of $1.2 billion this fiscal year related to the provinces enduring droughts and unprecedented wildfires. The cost of fighting fires is expected to be $750 million, with another $55 million earmarked for evacuation and disaster response.

Hardisty thrift store sets aside good collection of red and pink items for Valentine’s Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490
Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!
Well hello folks. The weather is certainly treating us with some kindness this week. Thank the dear Lord, blue skies sunshine, and minimal wind sure makes life tolerable. Everyone seems to be in positive spirits because of the Oilers run of winning games, there is curling to watch and all sorts of football. No wonder some people never have to leave their lazy chairs except to get another beer, spirits, and other refreshments, and then a few munchies of course. No electrical "brown outs" so far. I would say
life is pretty good, eh? Now all you young lovers out there please remember that Wednesday, Feb. 14, Canada's love day, is not far away. What are you planning for your honey or your manly stud-muffin? I was in the Drug store today and they have so many chocolates and candies for you to purchase for your loved ones. I bought a few items, but I did not purchase that special Valentines card yet. The cards cost as much as some chocolates. When did the card manufacturers decide that those few pieces of paper with a heart and some love words are worth $5.99 to $8.99? The grocery stores must be following suit
since the price of food is getting to be so bloody expensive. I guess we should be happy that we have food to purchase and not be scrounging for food and fire wood to even cook a meal. I should really quit whining! Our local thrift shop has set aside all sorts of red and hot pink items so that we can dazzle you closer to Valentine's day. You might just want to purchase something exciting to help celebrate your love day. For the young lovers get some red napkins, fancy wine glasses, and pour some wine. Cook some spaghetti and the lovely red tomato sauce. You can wear just a red checkered apron, red lipstick,
and red panty, while your man wears his best boxers and a lovely red tie, that shows off his muscular chest. Now what to have for dessert? There is always strawberry ice cream and topped with whipping cream, yum yum. You two could make your own Hallmark Valentine movie. Please note that the older movies only allowed for one real kiss at the end of the show. But the recent Thanksgiving and Christmas allowed for more smooching. They might even have three kisses and the final one was rather intense and it looked like they were tickling each others tonsils. So there you have it folks, your Valentines night could be rather in-
expensive, yet memorable. For us older folks we would do all the same things except we get chillier, so we would turn the furnace a little higher. We would have all sorts of interesting clothing to chose from, depending on what body parts we need to cover. Don't ever think our minds can not recall what is required to turn up the heat... ha ha. We can certainly emulate that last Hallmark kiss ..sizzle sizzle! Happy Valentine’s Day, a bit early to all of you. You have a few weeks to plan your night and get it right. Good luck. Our professional building at the end of Main Street will be home to a new business, Physique
Massage Therapy. We welcome Justine Matthews, who is an experienced, registered massage therapist. Hardisty is always delighted when we attract a new business to our main street. I was informed that one of the Hardisty Hospital Long term residents will turn 100 years young in a short time. Keep your eyes and ears open so you can congratulate her too! I believe the Elk season for hunting is over at the end of the month. Hope the hunters were able to fill their tags and enjoy the elk meat. It is quite tasty. Have a safe and enjoyable week. Please call me with some news.
Fill your ‘prescription for health’ at the Killam Aquatic Centre Leslie Cholowsky Editor
When we think of filling a prescription, the Killam Aquatic Centre might not be the first place that comes to mind. But there’s a new program out called ‘Prescription to Get Active,’ and the pool is just what the doctor ordered... literally.
The program is just what it sounds like, doctors write a prescription that helps their patients engage in more physical activity. Program promoters say, “This uniquely designed prescription allows healthcare partners to discuss the importance of physical activity with their patients, while giv-
ing their patients access to community recreation.” How it works is simple. Talk to your doctor and their healthcare team about getting a Prescription to Get Active. In the Flagstaff Region, the Daysland Medical Clinic and Forestburg Medical Clinic are already registered. “But not all physi-
< <
cians are aware of our program, so please be prepared to inform them.” Step Two, register your prescription at “prescriptiontogetactive.com” and get access to a special ‘dashboard’ that tracks your physical activity
and allows you to discover new activity options. That’s where the Killam Aquatic Centre comes in, as a registered facility in the program, they are offering one month’s free access to the pool for those participat-
ing in this program. Make sure to take your prescription to the facility to take advantage of the offer. On the website, there is also a library of resources and activity options to help you find new ways to get moving.

Sedgewick Legion Branch #55 gives up charter after vote to disband passes in 2023 Former member, and colour party member, remembers the group with pride Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Sedgewick Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion had its roots in community and in service for 95 years. History shows that the Great War Veteran’s Association was started in the town by veterans and non-veterans, and goes back to the period between 1918 and 1939. According to the history books, this group’s purpose was two-fold. It acted as an informal rehabilitation unit for one, and also as an advocacy group, to ensure that veterans who had given up years of their productive lives in service received any and all benefits available to them. The British Empire Service League was formed in 1926, and the Sedgewick group joined them. With a larger group, the advocacy to ensure that veterans got better deals was more powerful. The local group was given a charter in 1928, officially becoming Branch 55. Listed as original charter members were H. Abbott, GW Ambrose, HA Blackman, AG Burch, FA Butt, Chas. Chilvers, WR Curtis, CA Disturnal, H Gascoye, E Leah, CWH McGee, JS Muirhead, GR Murray, JA Saunders, and WG Saunders. Ironically, Cliff Harris, who had to that point devoted most of his life to Legion work, was not listed, as he couldn’t attend the charter evening because his ranching activities prevented that night. The Sedgewick Legion and its members have always devoted themselves, like other branches, to the service of their comrades and to the community, says long-time Legion member and son of founding member Jock Muirhead, David Muirhead. Muirhead says the cenotaph that currently stands at the end of Main Street in Killam was built by the Legion. “The design was taken from the design of the Vimy Ridge memorial; the rocks were gathered from local fields.” He says that cenotaph was unveiled on July 1, 1922 and to this day continues to serve as both a tribute to veterans of the region, and as a memorial to those who paid
the ultimate price through their service. The Sedgewick Cadet Corp #1752 was formed in 1920 and run by Captain C.W.H. McGee, with Horace Beairsto taking over in the last ‘50s. In 1963 Beairsto received the Canadian Forces ribbon for long service, and during the corps lifetime, it received the R. B. Bennett Trophy five times for the most efficient corps in Alberta, Muirhead says. That group disbanded in 1968. Muirhead served as a cadet under Beairsto as well. In the early 1950s, the Sedgewick branch formed a Colour Party. Muirhead says local member Fred McKee was asked to take this on and played a large role in both forming and serving on it for many years. By definition, a Colour Party in military organizations, a small party of soldiers entrusted with carrying the colours, or flags. Muirhead says the colour party always played a big role during local Remembrance Day ceremonies and adds, “To my knowledge, our Colour Party laid to rest, with military honours, all veterans who passed, or whose families asked us to be there.” He says sometimes that took the group well outside the Sedgewick area, but that they were happy to perform this service wherever they were needed. When Alberta’s Lieutenant Governors visited Sedgewick on at least two occasions, the colour party was there to honour and welcome both honourable Norman Kwong and Donald Ethel. Muirhead says through the years the Sedgewick Legion Branch was blessed with the talents of local pipers from outside the community, for parades with the colour party, or funerals. “Then the Battle River Pipes and Drums formed, and have served us extremely well, until the Legion disbanded this past year.” Muirhead says the Legion’s Ladies Auxiliary started around 1955, and played a big part in all the branch’s activities, and in their philanthropic support of the community. “They helped to fund the playground at the Rec Centre, pro-
While the Sedgewick Royal Canadian Legion Branch #55 gave up its charter in 2023, the colour party will continue to maintain the tradition of leading the Sedgewick Canada Day Parade, as well as Remembrance Day ceremonies. Above: The #55 Legion Branch colour party, led by Perry Robinson, with David Muirhead (left), Garry Klein, and Stephen Levy (filling in for Dr. Jean Hebert). vided scholarships to local students, and put together treats and gifts for the veteran’s ward at the Colonel Mewburn hospital in Edmonton at Christmas.” The two groups supported and complimented one another over the years. It hasn’t all been roses for the Sedgwick Legion. Like other local service groups, through the years support and membership has waxed and waned, there were times in the past that the group was in danger of being disbanded, and the charter forfeited. In the past, the Sedgewick Legion has always rallied. Even when the cost of owning the large Legion building became too much just a few years ago, the group agreed to sell the building, donating the proceeds to the support of many groups, both in the community and outside it. They donated funds towards the Sedgewick Wild Rose Coop Recreation Centre’s new roof, to the Sedgewick Lions Club, and to many other groups, Muirhead says. “Local sports organizations, hospitals, care homes, and more.” The group continued to meet, at first renting space at the Community Hall from the Lions, who Muirhead says, “Were very generous and sup-
portive, not only giving us the space for next to nothing, but also giving us a wall to hang up some of our important artifacts.” He says when stairs made it hard for older members, the group moved to meeting at The Hive. But as membership dwindled, with members aging out, or moving away, or passing away, the group’s future became uncertain. In 2023, just five years short of its 100th year, the Sedgewick Legion members voted to discontinue the charter, and disband. Remaining members would be welcomed into Lougheed or Killam Legion branches, and all remaining funds had already been disbursed to support a wide variety of community groups. Muirhead says, “On a personal note, my father was a chartered member of the Sedgewick Legion and had served as its president. “Dad enlisted in 1914 with the 49th overseas division, with many men out of the Lougheed area, with Cecil Kinross being one of those he served with. (Kinross won the Victoria Cross for his bravery in WWII)” Muirhead says that when his father was in the company of other comrades who had served, there was a real differ-
ence in him. “To be with those who saw the same horrors, who served and lived, and returned, that was clearly something he valued.” Muirhead says the Legion branches allowed returning veterans to support one another, and also serve a vital role in supporting local communities. He adds, “What a privilege to live in a country in which we are free. I give thanks every day for the men and women who met the call and served, and those who are still serving this great nation, including those who paid for our freedoms with their very lives.” He says he couldn’t bear to think of the Sedgwick Legion Branch just going off without a sendoff; without an acknowledgement of this, “Tremendous organization who served returning veterans so very well, and who supported and served the community for such a long time, and so well.” Muirhead says that despite the disbanding of the Sedgewick Branch #55, it is the Colour Party member’s intention to continue to maintain the 100-year-plus tradition of leading the July 1 Canada Day parade in Sedgewick as well as the Remembrance Day ceremony march to the cenotaph.

Alliance residents recognized for years of service Diane Dammann Alliance P. 780-879-3970 E. petendia@gmail.com
I heard from Tina Ratcliff this week. She is wondering how things are going in Alliance. I think they miss us. Art and Tina are both busy with family in St. Albert. Jaime Carroll was up from Calgary to take his mom, Dianne out for the day. I heard that they were at the grocery in Alliance where they were spotted. Dianne is in the Galahad Health Care Facility. There were 15 in church this week. It was my turn to do the sermon. With a whole lot of help from Beth Davidson and the internet, I managed to tell the story of Jesus’ presentation to Simeon and Anna. The annual Congregational meeting will be Sunday, March 3, following the service so this is an early reminder to get the annual reports in to Beth so she can do up the report book. The next Church Board meeting is Tuesday, Jan. 30, with Barbara Laurance in attendance. The raffle books for the Ag Society are out and for sale. The prize is $500 worth of meat from local Ag Society members. I have some tickets, $10 each. I also have Women’s Institute raffle tickets for an afghan made by Karin McCracken. That draw will be made at the next Farmer’s Market which will be Wednesday, March 20. Are you missing a lovely Siamese cat? A pretty little one appeared in the cat room downstairs. Betty Spady has a picture of a cat that was at her place that sure looks like the same one. The cat seems to be getting along with the other house cats, but she is pretty shy. Friday nights are once again Bingo nights in Alliance. The long time tradition has a few new wrinkles. Bingo is now in the arena lobby. A supper is available. This week it
was a delicious beef stew. It is a cash bingo and it is only the third Friday of every month. Dell Wickstrom is the caller. The crowd is small still, but interact with a lot of humor. Come join us Friday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. At the bingo, I met Dakota, Britiany, and Angela. Angela is Britiany’s sister who has just arrived to live in Alliance. Britiany and Dakota have been here for a couple of years, but since Dakota
works in Fort McMurray, I hadn’t met him before. Holly Tilstra is going to be in town this week to rearrange furniture in her trailer so her renters can move in. Bob Cyr of Strathmore spent the weekend with me. Taught me how to play backgammon and I even won a couple to games. Several couples from our area attended the 71st Annual Alberta Seed Processors meeting in Ed-
monton this week. Alliance Seed Cleaning Board Chair, Tom Coppock presented awards to Patrick Clough for 40 years of service, Ken Fordice for 25 years, and Peggy Erion, manager, for 25 years of service.

Tower of TP building in Killam FIRST Dinner coming up in Heisler Leslie Cholowsky Editor
With just over a week left, the Killam Tower of TP is growing at an amazing rate. The Flagstaff Food Bank issued a challenge at the start of January for all the communities in Flagstaff to donate toilet paper in a bid to create the largest tower. and Killam is looking to retain their 2023 crown, as the pile of TP at The Community Press office is looking pretty impressive.
The Flagstaff Informed Response Sharing Team (FIRST) is once again hard at work planning its annual fundraising dinner, this year to be held in Heisler. The FIRST dinner and auction rotates around all Flagstaff County communities, last year it was held in Sedgewick, and this year, Heisler is the host community. This year wil mark the event’s 26th anniversary in Flagstaff County, including two pandemic years when it was actually a non-event. Last year the event raised the most money ever, with a grand total of $41,595 from ticket sales, auction proceeds, and other donations. That funds the work that FIRST does in the community, which includes its Mental Health initiative, the operation of the Care-A-Van, and the Gibson Place youth program, along with ongoing education, training, and promotional programs throughout the year, as well as partnerships to bring in speakers, like ‘Starting a Social Media Conversation’ with Jo Phillips, coming up Feb. 5 at Killam Public School. Last year alone, FIRST also partnered with other groups in the Flagstaff Region to offer “It’s Not Right - How you can identify abuse and help older adults at
24012dg0
risk,” a free webinar on Understanding Electricity and Natural Gas Utilities, bringing speaker Sam Demma - cofounder of the Pickwaste organization, to Daysland School, a decreasing domestic violence/sexual violence conference in Hardisty, bringing speaker/author Yasmine Mohammed to CHSPS in Sedgewick and the Killam Senior Centre, and sponsored the Gail Watt Annual Scholarship. FIRST also published the Flagstaff Wellness Guide in 2023, featuring wellness practitioners throughout the region. FIRST Board Member and FFCS Executive Director Lynne Jenkinson says that once again Dale Jones and Darrin Holben have donated their time and expertise as auctioneers for this year’s dinner, where a number of donated items will be available through silent and live auctions. These items are donated by individuals and businesses throughout the region, and auctioned off that evening to raise funds for FIRST. Jenkinson says that all communities in Flagstaff are canvassed by FIRST board members, and adds, “We are grateful for everything that we get donated and given to us.” Jenkinson says ticket sales are brisk, but that there are some still available, although she’d like to have them all sold by this coming Friday, Jan. 26. Tickets are available at FFCS in Killam.

Rural homelessness projects in Alberta get $4 M in funding from federal government Brett McKay Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
The federal government is delivering $4 million for communities and organizations in rural Alberta working to reduce or prevent homelessness. The funding comes from rural and remote funding streams as part of Reaching Home, Canada's national homelessness strategy, and will be distributed over the next two years in Alberta by the Rural Development Network. “Investing in these local solutions supports community-led projects that help those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We will continue working with the Rural Development Network to support
those most in need in rural, remote and Indigenous communities across Alberta,“ Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, said in a statement. “As homelessness and housing insecurity continues to be on the rise in rural, remote and Indigenous communities in Alberta, it is increasingly important to support innovative and locally driven community responses to homelessness," said Sydney Stenekes, RDN's director of homelessness initiatives. The additional $4 million will go to Alberta’s rural, remote, First Nation, and Métis Settlement communities outside of the province's seven major cities. The majority of provincial funding for homeless shelters and programs is received by
those seven cities, with the bulk of funding for rural homelessness supports already coming from Reaching Home. Stenekes expects dozens of communities will benefit with the added $2 million per year over the next two years. "With similar amounts of funding, we've supported 40 + projects/communities annually in developing responses to homelessness. Under the guidance of our Regional Advisory Board and recognizing that there is limited funding to support responses to rural homelessness, we aim to distribute the funding as widely as possible in order for it to reach as many communities in rural Alberta," Stenekes said in an email. RDN is currently accepting project proposals, and anticipates some projects
could be off the ground as early as April. To reduce barriers faced by Indigenous communities in applying and accessing Reaching Home funding, RDN has also introduced an alternative application process for project proposals from First Nation and Métis Settlement communities. Changes to the application process were made following feedback received from the organizations Indigenous partners, Stenekes said. "Indigenous peoples are disproportionately represented in homelessness statistics across the country. In our recent 2023 Rural AB Housing and Service Needs Estimation, 91 per cent of Indigenous respondents were determined to be experiencing housing insecurity," she said.

Elaine Keith (nee Storey)
Born: Apr 1, 1936 Kerrobert, Saskatchewan Died: Jan 19, 2024 Grande Prairie, Alberta Elaine Keith (nee Storey) passed away on Thursday, Jan. 19, at the age of 87 in Grande Prairie, AB. She was one of six children born to Alec and Marcella Storey in Ker-
robert, Saskatchewan. Elaine, besides being a mother of five, also worked in her husband’s various weekly newspapers, in Castor, Sylvan Lake, Sedgewick, Wainwright, and Vegreville. She maintained a stationery store in both Vegreville and Wainwright. She was also a Lifetime Honorary Member of the Girl Guides of Canada, devoting many years to meetings, camps, and numerous offices. She was a member of Kinettes, ACW, Royal Purple, and many, many committees for clubs her children were involved in.
She loved crafts, like rubber stamping, quilling and quilting. She loved “The Lake” and the visitors it brought. Elaine was predeceased by her husband Monte in 2022 and is survived by their five children Gordon (Donna) of Leduc, Donna (Gary) Gerrard of Grande Prairie, Nancy (Ken) McArthur of Spruce Grove, Kathy White of Grande Prairie, and Will (Carolyn) of Victoria, BC, and daughter-in-law Kelly Whelan Blanch of Red Deer. Monte and Elaine had 10 grandchildren; Nicole
Barbara Jensen
Barbara was born to Arthur and Laversa Robertson on December 27, 1938, in Bloomington, Indiana. She passed away at the age of 85 on January 15, 2024, in Hardisty, Alberta. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Robert Jensen, sister-inlaw Vera, brother-in-law Harry and her nephew Robert Black. She is survived by three sisters (Christina, Nina, and Linda), three brothers (Art, Jerry, John), one daughter, Deanna (Roger) Maertz, and two grandsons (Chance and Adam).
Because her father was a college professor, she had the experience of living in many different cities in the USA during her youth. She attended college to become a dietician, and told Deanna many times how she was one course short of a master’s degree. While living in Salt Lake City, Utah, she became friends with Airi Wright, who had moved to Salt Lake City from a tiny place, called Dickson, Alberta, Canada. Airi thought she might know someone Barb would get along with and introduced her to Robert, through letters. They married in November of 1970, moving to Robert’s farm by Dickson and living there until 1992. They had one daughter (Deanna) in 1971. Barb was active in the community, including several years as a Brownie leader, even before her daughter was old enough to join! Barb’s favourite pas-
times were crafting (I think she tried almost everything there was to try!), reading, and volunteering. She was an active member of Innisfail United Church, until her and Robert moved to Daysland in 2007, serving on Presbytery and several other committees through the years. She was passionate about social justice and improving lives for everyone. Memorial donations can be made to the Hardisty or Galahad Auxiliaries, or the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories. Funeral details will be made available at feeandsonsfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of Fee & Sons Funeral Home and Crematorium Killam. Providing quality, honest and dignified service since 1913.

of the Prairies Catholic Church, Daysland on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider masses in memory of Walter or donations to a charity of the donor’s choice.

US looking to Canadian suppliers to save on prescription drugs
Five US states are looking to make deals with Canadian Pharmaceutical companies to get access to cheaper prescription drugs. In early January, Florida was the first state to win approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada. At that time, the FDA said it was committed to working with other states seeking to import drugs from Canada. Not only is this causing an uproar with the US pharmaceutical industry, it’s not going over that well in Canada, either. Drug costs in the USA are being called prohibitive, with Americans routinely paying more for medicines at home than we do in Canada, sometimes double and more what Canadians pay for the same type of preseription Even though Florida got the green light from the FCA, Canada’s Health Minister Mark Holland says the deal is a “non-starter.” "There is no way we will allow any jurisdiction, be it a state or another foreign jurisdiction, to endanger the Canadian drug supply. That is not an appropriate solution to whatever challenges they may be facing," Holland said during an official announcement. "We're going to do everything in our power to make sure that another country cannot be given the ability to pillage our health system for its own benefit.” Health Canada released a statement after the FDA’s decision, saying, “Health Canada has listened to Canadians and has consulted with industry stakeholders, pharmacists, provinces and territories, patient groups, and medical associations. All agree that the Canadian government must remain focused on ensuring a stable and adequate supply of prescription drugs for Canadians.” While Canada’s federal government limits how much drug makers can charge, the US allows the free market to dictate pricing. Here the drug companies work with their customers to set reasonable pricing, there, the drug companies set the price based on profits. News of the approval still has some Canadians nervous about supply here at home. However, the federal government enacted regulatory powers in 2020 to restrict bulk exports of pharmaceuticals that could worsen drug shortages, in response to then-President Donald Trump’s talk of a ‘drugs from Canada scheme.’ High drug costs aren’t new to Americans. In 2019, Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders led a small group of Americans into Canada to purchase insulin at a fraction of the cost being charged in the US. At that time, insulin costs in the US were estimated to be 10x the cost paid in Canada, leading some diabetic Americans to ration their supplies, a dangerous measure. As far as I’m concerned, and I’m glad to see the federal government take the same stance, the US needs to fix their own drug problems and protect Americans the same way our federal regulators help Canadians before they think they can come purchase drugs here. Funny that US government officials would try to take advantage of our public health care system any way they can. Who would benefit the most in Florida? Turns out it’s likely the state itself, from the purchase of drugs for those in prisons and receiving federal benefits like Medicaid. Make no mistake, this isn’t being done out of concern for individual American citizens. It’s being proposed out of concern for the state’s bottom line. If everyday Americans happen to benefit, it will be incidental, not on purpose. Let’s hope our federal government will do all it can to block exportations that could lead to drug shortages on our end. LESLIE CHOLOWSKY
Sometimes even as you get older you get a first. It happened to me last Monday. My nephew phoned me before I was up in the morning. He texted me me and said “phone me.” When I hadn’t answered the phone he also left a message. This was unusual for him. His message said, “Phone me as soon as you get this message, Uncle John.” Something was up. He never called me Uncle John. It was always UJ. So after getting a coffee I called. He answered, we exchanged some pleasantries, and he said, “My dad died yesterday.” This hit me hard. While it didn’t surprise me in some ways … his dad had been in poor health for several years, but it still came as a shock. I had never had a brother die on me. He was 73… three years older than me. He was the middle kid in our family of three kids. Suddenly I was still. My brother gone, it wasn’t really expected and I never got a chance to say, “Goodbye… I love you.” Now, I never will. We often talked over the phone. “Texting will not be tolerated,” was his abrupt message as he didn’t like new technology. So we conversed in the time honoured method where our talk was honest, upfront and personal. Still for a week I’ve been trying to come to grips with his passing. I remember playing table top hockey as kids. There were two teams on our hockey game - the Canadiens and the Maple Leafs. He had declared, as the older brother, he had first choice and he chose Montreal. That left me with Toronto and I’ve been a life long Leaf fan ever since. We wore that game out playing each other and eventually graduated to shooting the small puck at each other down the long hall at the top of the stairs in our Brampton home. Neither of us lost an eye but there were cuts and scrapes involved in this game that could get physical. As I write this this I’m listening to the Rolling Stones “Out of Our Heads” LP. That was one of his first albums which somehow many years ago ended up in my collection. My brother lived for the Rolling Stones. Maybe going further... he worshipped the band. He went to Los Angeles, Edmonton, Toronto, and I believe Regina to see his favourite band. Surprisingly, Keith Richards has outlived my brother. Who would have thought that? He also lived for skiing when he wasn’t working.

He travelled the Rockies from Jasper to Utah and Northern California finding snow to try. When we first began skiing in Brampton on the hill across from Calvert's, which is now Centre St., he laughed at me as I continually fell down. I still don’t ski, but he had such a love for the sport. Skis and skates were alien to my body but I could play baseball, lacrosse, and football, which I did with great enthusiasm. Not Gord. He skied and rode motorcycles. His kids where bungee corded to him and their mom on the slopes, from as soon as they could walk. And their love for skiing continues to this day. He loved his cars and motorcycles as well. My dad bought an Austin Seven in the early sixties for my sister to drive in. She had trouble with the stick shift, but my brother mastered it quickly. He and I had previously run our dad’s abandoned ’59 Chev three-in-the-tree around our three acres of land shifting and trying some practice jumps with the car. After the Austin he bought a souped-up mini Cooper which was subsequently stolen when he was working a job in Toronto. He loved his European cars and car racing, things I also enjoyed alongside him. When I took more to the cars, he took more to motorcycles. From his first 125 cc Kawasaki to his Honda four cylinders to his Triumphs and more - he loved to ride. He worked as a radiographer and made good money to support his family. Unfortunately his time apart from family and some of the habits he developed undermined the family and eventually after his kids graduated colleges the family dissolved. But he still did love them. He loved his three grandchildren, although he didn’t see them often. My parents raised their three children, my sister, brother and me, as very independent beings. We loved each other, living together as kids, and that has continued throughout the years although we don’t live close together. My sister is in Ontario, my brother was in Calgary and I’m in Fort Saskatchewan. When my birthday rolled around in October we all got together for dinner in Calgary. For my sister and myself that was the last time we saw my brother alive. So, so long Gordo … brother, father, grandfather. You’ll be missed by your family and those you touched during you life. You were a good person. JOHN MATHER

Wheat Kings stay in fifth place with win and loss Leslie Cholowsky Editor
With just four games left in the regular season, the Killam Jr. B Wheat Kings are sitting in fifth place, with an equal number of wins and losses. On Friday, Jan. 19, the Wheat Kings hosted the Vegreville Rangers, coming out with a 5-3 win. Jordan Gagnon had an outstanding game for the Wheat Kings, scoring four of the five goals. Vegreville got on the scoreboard first, enjoying their only lead of the game for about five minutes until Gagnon put Killam on the board, with a goal from Kyler Bergseth to tie it up. The Wheat Kings took the lead with Gagnon’s second goal, this time from Blake Sitler and Kobe Charchun, for a 21 lead heading into the second period. Vegreville tied things up with an early goal in the second, but Gagnon’s hattrick goal, from Chase Rombough,
put Killam into a 3-2 lead. A late-period goal from Vegreville tied things up 3-3 heading into the third period. Rhett Bergseth scored midway through the third, from Cade Schatschneider and Brady Parchoma to make it 4-3, and a final unassisted goal from Gagnon in the last seconds of the game secured the win for the Wheat Kings. Ryder Wagner got the win in goal for Killam, stopping 20 of 23 shots, with 48 shots on goal for Killam against Vegreville. On Saturday, Jan. 20, the Wheat Kings travelled to St. Paul to take on the firstplace Canadiens, coming away with a 4-0 loss. That game saw the Wheat Kings outshot 14-48, with Wagner stopping 44 of 48 shots on the Killam net. Killam’s last home game will be this coming Saturday, Jan. 27, with an early start at 6:15, part of the Battle River Knights Hockey Weekend, where they will host the Lloydminster Bandits.
