Chipman neighbours oppose medical marijuana grow op JOHN MATHER Neighbours southeast of Chipman are banding together to fight a proposal to start a medical marijuana grow operations on a neighbouring farm. “I’m not against what they’re proposing to produce, but rather that they are taking Class 2 farm land out of production,” said Shelagh Pastoor, who lives across from the proposed development at 53538 Range Road 183. She is spearheading opposition to the development. A development permit application has been received by Lamont County from Gaia Bio Pharmaceuticals to build a 100 X 105 foot building to grow medical marijuana on a 32.37 ha parcel within NW-34-53-18-W4. The landowner, Kenneth Ehry, is one of the shareholders in the proposed operation, although the principals are Lamont County residents James and Mandy Kilpatrick. Pastoor organized a meeting of neighbours at her home, Sept. 29 and the Kilpatricks also showed up to try and smooth ruffled feathers. About 20 neighbours showed up to the meeting chaired by Pastoor’s mother, former Lethbridge MLA Bridget Pastoor. Most of the concerns dealt with electricity usage, security issues, sewer and water and increases in traffic along the rural road leading to the property. “This is class 2 land,” said Pastoor “It’s prime soil for growing crops.” Many of the residents felt the product isn’t designated as an agricultural product, so residents were concerned about the zoning of the land. The residents were informed they had to present a letter opposing the

James and Mandy Kilpatrick are majority owners of a company that wants to develop a medical marijuana grow facility southeast of Chipman. The couple met with local residents Sept. 29 to discuss their project and hopefully alleviate many concerns.

”

The development itself, he added, would be a concrete pad with sprung buildings erected. Inside those would be double walled sea cans where the actual growing would take place. He said the property would have 24hour surveillance cameras. The buildings could only be accessed though airlocks and there would be no retail sales from the site. “We’ll be selling our product to distributors and we’ll only be selling the flowers. The remaining part of the plant would be discarded.” Mandy Kilpatrick stated they would be a Health Canada regulated facility and anyone attempting to steal would be better suited to robbing a retail store in an urban area, rather than a farm like what they were proposing. ”We’ll be shipping to huge licenced distributors who already have a patient base.” James added that the growth cycles would be about three months per cycle. He told the gathered residents he was more concerned about neighbouring pesticides and odors getting into his sea cans and contaminating his crop, which is strictly regulated by Health Canada, than anything he might be putting into the atmosphere. He said he planned to have five employees per shift at the farm. Product would be shipped by truck from the facility. After the meeting, Pastoor said she remained unconvinced of the need for the operation on the top class farmland. She said she would be sending a letter to council and she hopes a delegation will be allowed to address council at their Oct. 9 meeting.

Lamont couple will be missed

MAUREEN SULLIVAN There was a mixture of laughs and tears as the congregation of the Lamont Allliance Church said goodbye to Pastor Ron Wurtz and his wife Jane on Sept 30. The pastor is retiring after 10 years of service in Lamont and moving to Fort Saskatchewan. The couple made the decision after spending the last few months dealing with Jane Wurtz' diagnosis of cancer. Jane Wurtz, who is fondly known as Grandma Jane, was instrumental in the children's program,

began handing out suckers after service when she was first learning the children's name. If they told her their name, they received a sucker. It has now become a tradition to receive a sucker after every service. The couple not only touched the lives of the church members, but became important members of the community. The couple reminisced about pushing a cart full of carrots in the Lamont parade when the food bank started in the church, and the faces of the children when they got a carrot instead of a candy. Or they recalled the children singing in the hospital at

SNOWGEESE GATHERING

No that isn’t snow, well not this time. Hundreds of snowgeese gathered south of Chipman last week in preparation for their migration.

PRESE

Christmas time. The pastor oversaw the addition of 4,000 square feet to the church during his tenure and the building of a playground on the site, as well as overseeing the church as a whole. "They were busy in the community, doing a lot of little things," said church elder Dennis Bundy. "They will definitely be missed. We will continue praying as a congregation for them and her cancer." The church gave the couple three goodbye gifts, $1,000 dollars towards a prayer retreat, a remembrance book signed by members of the congregation and a love offering inside a ceramic lamb piggy bank. Everyone stayed after the service to enjoy lunch together and say goodbye.

Opinion One last encore for music greats Before our senses began being bombarded by entertainment and information, there was a much simpler time that only people born in the 1960s or prior can fully understand. It wasn’t necessarily a better time, but because there was so little to do it was a time when certain universally beloved things like music were truly being perfected. I remember reading a quote from Geddy Lee, lead singer of Canadian rock band RUSH, in which he said something to the effect that he thought musicianship was better in his day simply because kids had nothing else to do. He spent his childhood hours in a garage practicing his instruments every waking moment, because personal computers, video games or smart phones hadn’t been invented - and there were only three channels on TV. Makes sense. Lee put in his 10,000 hours to become an expert, as Malcolm Gladwell writes about, at a very young age indeed. Another person who did the same, but years prior to the RUSH singer/bassest/keyboardist, was the great Sir Paul McCartney who we saw live on Sunday evening in Edmonton. Sir Paul and his former band (maybe you remember them), played music endlessly in Germany long before the Fab Four had become famous. Besides singing, writing more number 1 songs than anyone in history, McCartney plays bass guitar, harmonica, trumpet, lead guitar, cello, piano, ukulele, banjo, violin, mandolin and more. The rumour is that Ringo Starr was the second best drummer in The Beatles next to The Beatles billionaire. His brilliance was on full display on Sunday at Rogers Place as the 76 year old went through a huge set of songs before an adoring crowd, humbled in the presence of music royalty. Sir Paul can still sing, though his elderly voice gets weak in places during slower classics like Hey Jude or Let It Be. It’s pretty impressive though, when a musician can play for three solid hours with no breaks, and you can still think of handfulls of hit songs he couldn’t even get to. As our musical greats pass away each year, no matter what genre you prefer, and despite them not being as great as they were in their prime, it is still pretty special to be at one last concert. Next up is Sir Elton John’s farewell show, 2019. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Lots of scare tactics go against oil industry Corporate average fuel economy (CAFÉ) standards were devised in 1975, amid anxiety over the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) oil embargo and supposedly imminent depletion of the world’s oil supplies. But barely 15 years after Edwin Drake drilled the first successful oil well in 1859, a Pennsylvania geologist was saying the United States would run out of oil by 1878. In 1908, the U.S. Geological Survey said we’d exhaust our domestic oil reserves by 1927; in 1939, it moved petroleum doomsday to 1952. Somehow, steadily improving technology and geological acumen kept finding more oil. Then the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) revolution postponed the demise of oil and natural gas production for at

least another century. The fuels that brought wealth, health, longevity, and modern industrialization, transportation, communication and civilization to billions will continue doing so. However, the powerful forces arrayed against fossil fuels, internal combustion engines and automobiles keep pushing for tighter CAFÉ rules. In 2012 – claiming that CO2 and other vehicle greenhouse gas emissions required a near-total shift to electric cars to prevent manmade climate cataclysms – the Environmental Protection Agency of former U.S. president Barack Obama decreed 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) consumption standards for automobiles by 2025. But climate chaos is a product of computer models, a phoney scientific ‘consensus’ and hysterical headlines – not

real world evidence. Electric cars represent under 1.5 per cent of new vehicles sold in the United States, a minuscule fraction of the total U.S. vehicle fleet, and a vanishingly small, barely detectable portion of vehicles in use worldwide. Their short range, long recharging times and dauntingly high prices deter most drivers, despite taxpayer subsidies that can reach $10,000 per car sold to rich buyers. And their batteries have significant human health, human rights and environmental problems. Moreover, the rest of the world is rapidly industrializing, building coal- and gasfired power plants to bring electricity to billions who still don’t enjoy its blessings, and putting more cars and trucks on their roads.

Letter: MPG rules nonsensical Continued from Page 4 So even if carbon dioxide has replaced the powerful natural forces that have driven climate and extreme weather fluctuations throughout Earth and human history, U.S. mileage rules would make no difference. It’s therefore hugely refreshing to see that the EPA and U.S. Department of Transportation have proposed to freeze fuel economy standards at the existing 2020 target of 37 mpg. The proposal would also create single national mileage and emission standards – and eliminate the arguably illegal Clean Air Act waiver that the Obama EPA gave California in 2013, letting it set its own tougher automobile emission standards. To encourage discussion, negotiation and compromise, the EPA/Department of Transportation proposal also presents seven alternatives to the 37 mpg freeze, allowing standards to ratchet upward between 0.5 and 3.0 per cent annually through 2026. Public comments will be accept-

ed until the end of September. Consumer groups and would-be new car buyers welcomed the move. Reactions from certain other quarters were predictably negative. Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown labelled it “an assault on the health” of all Americans – a “reckless scheme” that will force motorists to “pay more at the pump, get worse gas mileage and breathe dirtier air.” He promised his state will “fight this stupidity in every conceivable way possible.” Others claimed it would “roll back” efforts to “protect the climate.” Major automotive manufacturers would prefer to have mpg standards climb steadily upward. They want to promote their ‘green’ credentials, while selling more cars and light trucks – and avoiding vitriolic backlash from the likes of Brown and the Sierra Club. They’d like to see a negotiated deal. As to “dirtier air,” there’s virtually no connection between mileage and vehicle emissions,

which have already plummeted by nearly 98 per cent from what came out of tailpipes in 1970. That’s why radical greens call carbon dioxide ‘carbon pollution’ – to make it sound like soot, instead of the miracle molecule that we exhale, and plants use as a basic building block to make life on Earth possible. The more CO2 in the air, the better and faster forest, grassland and crop plants grow, using less water in the process. And where do greens think electric vehicles get their electricity? Wind turbines and solar panels? Fat chance. Try coaland gas-fired power plants – or nuclear and hydroelectric plants that they also detest. Climate benefits are equally illusory. Even if there were a connection between CO2 and global warming (or the newer, always accurate nom de guerre ‘climate change’), the EPA and Department of Transportation estimate that the difference between the 37 mpg standard of Donald Trump’s administration and Obama’s 54.5 mpg rule would be a completely undetectable 0.0003 degrees Celsius (0.0005 F) by 2100. That’s a microscopic 0.00004

degrees per year! How can Brown claim that freezing miles per gallon will harm human health? By ignoring another reality. As mileage standards tightened, carmakers had to downsize vehicles, use less steel, and employ more aluminum and plastic. Even with expensive vehicle modifications like side air bags, these smaller vehicles have less armour to protect occupants, and less space between them and any car, truck, bus, tree or other obstacle they might collide with. So they’re less safe and less affordable for poor families. Insurance industry and other studies show that bigger, heavier vehicles are safer. Drivers and passengers in 54.5 mpg vehicles are more likely to die in a crash – and far more likely to be maimed, disfigured, disabled or paralyzed – than if the fuel economy standards had been relaxed or frozen decades ago. Freezing standards now at 37 mpg would save car and light truck buyers tens of billions of dollars over the next decade – and save families hundreds of billions in burial, hospital, disability and related costs.

But tougher standards would save drivers billions in gasoline costs, Brown and his comrades claim. What chutzpah! These are the same folks who demand mandates for ethanol, which costs more and gets a third fewer miles per gallon than gasoline. They’re the same ones whose great champion once said, “Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.” That champion would be Paul Ehrlich, who remains deeply concerned about “population bombs” … and the human population levels that smaller, lighter, less safe cars are as good a way as any to reduce. Then there’s the basic matter of choice. Not everyone is an urbanite, with one kid, comfortably squatting down almost to pavement level to squeeze into an econobox ‘smart car,’ happily hauling one or

two non-plastic grocery bags a week from Whole Foods. The rest of us want affordable options, sizes and features that meet our individual needs. We’re tired of having urban and government intellectuals, pressure groups and ruling elites dictating our vehicle choice, steadily reducing our access to full-size sedans, mini or full-size SUVs, light trucks, panel trucks or whatever vehicles best meet our diverse family, boating, camping, farming, ranching, small business or other needs. The 54.5 mpg target definitely limits choice. The best solution would be to roll these restrictive, dangerous, even deadly rules back a few notches. At least freeze them where they are or, as a last-ditch compromise, restrict future hikes to 0.1 per cent annually. Paul Driessen

FROM WHERE I SIT: Freedom

HAZEL ANAKA Like a few other things this year, Thanksgiving snuck up on me. The first hint was grocery flyers with turkeys featured front and centre. The next hint was a sister mentioning the possibility of a dinner invitation to our mother’s. Only when I flipped over my desk and pocket calendars to October did I see that yessiree, the holiday was only days away. The cold, snowy weather was certainly no

clue. I haven’t seen or heard many flocks of ducks or geese flying south either. I hope that means they know something we don’t. Our grass is still green and up until a few days ago so were most of the leaves. It’s hard not to turn into a doom’s day crier, pearl clutching, handwringing hot mess. A year’s worth of our blood, sweat and tears investment and livelihood are at stake, after all. And you dear reader, if you’re not living it yourself are likely as sick of reading about this as I am of writing about it. So, forgive me, please. It’s no different than those federal government employees victimized by the Phoenix pay system. (As a reminder some employees haven’t received any pay cheque for more than a year.

Others have been overpaid or underpaid. Lives have been ruined). Or anyone on strike. Or those in the oil industry whose lives are on hold especially as employment benefits run out. Or anyone, who because of illness or family obligations has to withdraw from employment. These are all real people with real commitments suffering in very real ways. In that context, it takes a real effort to find the blessings this year and to give thanks for them. During the ‘normal’ weather years, as farmers we rarely had that Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving Day scene depicted in his famous painting. The idyllic stereotype included a multi-generational group, a turkey roasted to perfection, all the deli-

cious trimmings, the perfect balance between laughter and solemnity, and a palpable warm glow. Some years, we were able to leave the field and grab a few bites at either my sister’s or mom’s place. Other years, if the weather was incredible or the end was near or time was tight, the food came to a truck end gate near us. This year, despite all the lousy weather and the dawning of the thought that this may be the new normal, there are things to be grateful for. Not a day goes by that someone isn’t getting a life-changing medical diagnosis. Others are losing their homes to fire or flood. Others are losing their lives to crime and motor vehicle collisions. Some, in the world are starving to death or being slaugh-

tered by their own governments. For those of us with a safe home, reliable food supply, good health, and people who love us, we are blessed. We also have freedom.

Sometimes that means exercising the freedom to change our circumstances. Lord knows, it’s easier to get out of farming than into it, from where I sit.

FEATURED LISTINGS

East Coast Kitchen Party makes honourary Maritimers out of crowd at Bruderheim MAUREEN SULLIVAN Fun was had by all at the East Coast Kitchen Party hosted on Saturday night by the Bruderheim Recreational Cultural Board. The Bruderheim Community Hall was full on Sept 29, as all things from the Maritimes was enjoyed. The evening started with cocktails at 5:30 pm followed by dinner at 6:00 pm. A Large plate of turkey, dressing, roast beef, salads, mashed potatoes and mashed beets was enjoyed followed by dessert. After dinner the Lamont Steps Cloggers headed by Linda Mills, demonstrated several variations of clogging and eventually had members from the audience join in. Scott Norman with the help of Margaret Mallet then initiated several people as honourary Newfoundlanders by having then screeched in, which consists of drinking a shot of screech (a Newfoundland rum). Norman then asked the group, Do you all want to be Newfoundlanders?" To which they answered, "Indeed we do my old c*** and long may your big jib draw." To finish the ceremony you must kiss a cod fish on the lips, and then you receive a certificate to prove you are an honourary Newfoundlander. Next was a performance by all members of the audience who had made an ugly stick for competition. This makeshift instrument fashioned out of a mop handle, bottle caps, tin cans, rubber boots, and other household items fit for noise making, has a distinctive percussion sound. Brooklyn Prairie won the competition

with her ugly stick and won a gift certificate to the Atlantic Kitchen in Fort Saskatchewan. The Silver and Gold Band from the 'east coast of Lamont County,' otherwise known as Mundare, fiddled for the evening, playing during cocktails and the rest of the evening. The evening finished up with an open mike. Jana Semeniuk was the evening's Mistress of Ceremonies. While a number of volunteers helped make the evening a success.

Communities in Bloom rewards Bruderheim with 5 blooms JOHN MATHER The hard work of Bruderheim’s residents and businesses in preparing the town for the Communities in Bloom competition earlier this summer, paid off when the community received a five blooms Bronze rating and a special mention for water planters at the National/International Symposium and Awards ceremonies in Strathcona County. The awards were held Sept. 29, and also saw

Bruderheim win an outstanding achievement award for the Municipal World Winterlife Award. “We improved on a lot of things over the previous year,” said Sherry Cote, one of the volunteers for the Communities in Bloom. “We continue to get better. We’re working in the area of environment and looking after our green spaces.” For a volunteer, Cote said, “It certainly makes you feel good.” Bruderheim had com-

peted in this year’s competitions against SaintePetronille, QC and Valhalla Centre, Ab. for populations of up to 1,500. The competing communities are evaluated using a bloom rating determined by the total score of the evaluation. Bruderheim scored more than 82 per cent to score its five blooms, and 84 to 86.9 per cent to revive its bronze rating in the National/ International category. Judges Lucy Chang

and Anne-Marie Parent stated they found the town’s use of water retaining hanging baskets and use of edibles such as tomatoes, leafy greens and herbs presented lush displays that turned out to be positive cost saving decision in spite of the initial lay out costs. The tomatoes placed throughout the community provided a free source of produce for residents during the summer.

Cenovus Energy inks new rail agreements to get product to gulf coast JOHN MATHER Cenovus Energy has signed new three-yeardeals with local railways to move approximately 100,000 barrels a day of heavy crude oil from northern Alberta to the U.S. gulf coast. An agreement with CN will see oil moved from the Cenovus Bruderheim Energy terminal beginning in the

fourth quarter of 2018. A second deal with CP will see oil moved through the USD Partners’ terminal in Hardisty starting in the second quarter of 2019. “Moving crude by rail is an approach we take to transporting our product to market,” said Cenovus president and Chief Executive Officer, Alex Pourbaix. “Our rail

strategy produces a means of mitigating the impact of pipeline construction.” He added, “While we remain confident new pipeline capacity will be constructed, these rail agreements will help get our oil to higher-price markets.” Under the agreement, the plans involve freight and loading compo-

nents, but also rail car leasing, offloading logistics, marketing and other arrangements.

Lamont Mayor honoured by AUMA Bill Skinner given special recognition for contributions to municipal government JOHN MATHER For Bill Skinner serving on Lamont council, as a councillor and then mayor, is simply a way to better the community where he lives. Skinner received a Community Services award from the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association last week for his 20 years in public office. “There was never any issue that made me jump up and run for council,” he said. “It was more about just wanting to move our community ahead. I hope to have the best possible community to live in.” Skinner was nominated for the award by Lamont council, which passed a motion putting his name forward. “I’ve been very fortunate,” he said. “A few years ago the council put my name forward for an excellence in leadership award which I received at an earlier AUMA convention. I’ve been lucky to have a very supportive council over the years.” He added, “It’s nice to be recognized for the efforts you put in.” Skinner first joined council in 1998 as a councilor and later ran for mayor. “I’ve been telling people that this will likely be my last term,” he said. He added he had told his employers, Dow Chemical, that he would soon be retiring to spend more time travelling with his wife. With his 20 years on council, Skinner points to the second water reservoir and increases in the size of the town’s sewage lagoon as highlights. He is also quite proud of the opening of the new seniors lodge

last year, since he has served on the senior’s housing committee for a number of years. “I think the town has moved into what I would call growth readiness. We’ve put a large water line under Highway 15 to service the south industrial area. We put the effort into being ready for growth, whether it’s residential, commercial or industrial.” He said at some point Lamont will experience a lot of growth and the town is now positioned to handle it. “If that large plant comes to Lamont County, we can handle any growth here in town,” he said. “When that happens we’re ready for it.” He said developments had been planned several years ago, but the economy faltered and the failure of those developments has been one of the disappoint-

ments of his tenure on council. “It’s taken this long to get back into a full recovery mode,” he said. “But we’re now better positioned.” While on council he oversaw the building of the new town administration building. In addition, he worked with a great administrative staff over the years. “Sandi Maschmeyer has been on staff since I’ve come on board and she been a great asset to the community.” Maschmeyer has announced her retirement at the end of the year and Skinner says her knowledge of the community will be missed. Council is currently working on hiring her replacement. The mayor reports a firm has been working with the town on selecting candidates and he expects to see a shortlist some time in October.

MP Stubbs honours Haying in the 30s founder MAUREEN SULLIVAN The life of Edgar Corbière and his foundation 'Haying in The 30's was recognized in the House of Commons on Sept 26, by MP Shannon Stubbs {Lakeland). The St. Michael Ag Society hosts a "Haying in the 30"s fundraiser every March. "I rise to recognize the life of Edgar Corbière, who passed away in April. He turned his family's personal struggle into an enduring legacy of compassion and support for others. This summer marked the 20th annual “Haying in the 30s event, which has supported more than 5,000 people in the Lakeland region in their fight against cancer," said Stubbs Corbière's son Real was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma back in 1985. Doctors told Real he had just a few months to live, but only days after, came

back and told him that there was a chance a bone marrow transplant could save his life. Corbière was devastated and also stressed by the prospects of traveling with his son to Vancouver for treatment. Both of Real’s younger sisters had to travel with him for the transplant, as both of them were potential matches, while Corbière and his wife Cecille had to come as the girl’s guardians. Knowing what the family was going through, their home community of Mallaig pulled together and raised donations to help offset the family’s expenses, and Real would eventually see his road back to recovery. “Dad would always say he was touched by the community doing what they’d done, and he wanted to give back to them for what they’d done,” said Real. In the late 1990s,

Corbière came up with the idea of holding a weekend event that would show people what it was like to make hay in the 1930’s. Knowing how much community support had meant to the family when Real had been ill, he decided that any donations to the event would go towards cancer victims undergoing treatment. The first year, $3,500 was raised, helping 12 families. "A core board and group of 300 volunteers work all year round to put on a free two day re-enactment of rural life and hay harvesting in the 1930s. Thousands of Albertans make it their annual family trip. Every penny donated there and by others is given to cancer patients

and their families for medical bills, travel and parking costs, and other expenses not covered by insurance," said Stubbs. The weekend itself regularly pulls in as much and over $200,000 in donations. With another quarter million dollars raised in donations throughout the year, the organization is able to help close to 500 families in the year, according to Real.

In Loving Memory

Leonard Onushko March 6, 1948 – October 2, 2017

Dear Leonard,

Bruderheim finalizes annexed lands ownership JOHN MATHER Bruderheim held public hearings Sept. 18 to repeal the Lamont County Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Area Structure Plan; to create a by-law amending their land use bylaw; and a bylaw amending the town’s municipal development plan. All three public hearings were related to the town’s annexation of land in Lamont County south and east of the existing town that was granted by municipal affairs and the province more than a year ago. While a representative from Municipal Planning Services, Jane Dauphine was on hand to guide council through the process of the public hearing and creating the new bylaws, no objections were brought in from the public. While no one spoke

either for or against the proposals during the public hearing process a written notice was received from Bob Stielow, owner of Thiel’s Greenhouse pertaining to the hearing and bylaw amending the land use bylaw. He requested a portion of their property, zoned urban reserve, be identified as general commercial. Councillor George Campbell asked if the changes in the zoning would change the taxes paid by the landowners. Dauphine replied landowners would continue to be assessed at the current rate unless landowners asked for changes to the zoning. Included in the annexation were some smaller parcels of land north of the CN Railway tracks at the east end of the town, where the greenhouse is located.

Council was told it was proper to make the land general commercial because of the existing greenhouse and the designation would allow for the business to expand if it wanted to without changing zoning in the future. Council passed all the motions and by-laws finalizing bringing the annexed lands into Bruderheim.

Although your smile is gone forever and your hand we cannot touch, Still we have so many memories of a Brother and Uncle we loved so much. We can’t have the old days back when we were all together, But special moments and loving thoughts will be with us forever. You will always be in our minds and hearts, Still making us laugh because your stories live on. And no words can ever say just how much we miss you each and every day. Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part. Although God has you in his Keeping, we will have you forever in our Heart.

You will always be deeply missed and never forgotten. We hope in Heaven you are “just givin’ ‘er til the cows come home.” Love Always Karen & Colin, Kaleigh; Ken, Josh & Kayla; Jessica & Adnan; Gail & Brian; Arnold & Gail; Ryan & Barb; Hilary & Kennedy; Stephanie & Jordan, Emmy and Jacob
