Andrew Garlic Festival awaits Michelle Pinon Editor

MICHELLE PINON FILE PHOTO

Sonia Zinyk, left, and Wendy Winsiuk were busy selling fesh produce at the Garlic Festival Farmer’s Market in 2016. There will be 70 vendors at the 2017 edition that will take place on Saturday in the Andrew Community Centre.

The biggest event of the year is about to descend upon the Village of Andrew.

Carri Hrehorets, President of the Andrew & District Agricultural Society, says they are all set for the 19th annual Garlic Festival this Saturday, and is excited about this year’s line up of events and activities, which normally attracts more than 1,500 people.

“There’s something for everyone,” says Hrehorets.

“Everybody who is attending should take their time and stroll through the farmer’s market….Families should take in some of the outdoor activities for the kids and hopefully everyone will stop in the main hall and enjoy some of the entertainers. Sit down, grab a bite and beverage and enjoy.”

This year organizers have hired more professional entertainers, and Hrehorets is looking forward to seeing SAFIRE the fire dance performer and Nikolai the juggler and stage performer. “In addition, we will have horse drawn wagon rides, a petting zoo, and more activities for the kids. I just hope the weather cooperates. In addition, we have 70 vendors in the farmer’s market.”

The family atmosphere and wide array of events is a great way to spend the day, and she is hoping for a great turnout.

The ag. society has operated the garlic festival for the past eight years in conjunction with the Andrew Community Centre Association. “We are a hard working, motivated group and the garlic festival grows and becomes more popular and well known from year to year. We have about 10-15 dedicated volunteers for the festival. In addition, we support other local groups. We allow clubs and some church groups to sell tickets to raise funds, we hire the figure skating club to work the main door and the fire department will be operating a concession. We want to see every club benefit from this event,” noted Hrehorets.

The event will kick off at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the Andrew Lions Club Den. A total of 70 vendors will be at the farmer’s market and craft show in the curling rink. The Bench Show is located in the hall and will feature baking, canning, fresh produce, crafts and photography. There is a concession, beer garden, at the hall as well. Over at the Rainbow Club there will be a perogy lunch. After that take in the parade on main street starting at 1 p.m.

Entertainment will follow in the hall. There will also be car show, guestspeaker on garlic at 2 p.m. upstairs, and a scarecrow contest in the mix. The list is extensive, so make sure you block off enough time on your schedule, you won’t be disappointed.

The weather was absolutely beautiful on Thursday, October 5, so it was a great time to capture the beautiful vistas at neighbouring Elk Island National Park (EINP). There is always so much to see and do at the park that one could never tire of its spectacular natural features. EINP is open year round.

Opinion Above all Give thanks on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving weekend was definitely a busy one.

My sister hosted Thanksgiving dinner Saturday, and it was nice to gather with family.

Other than that outing, it was pretty much business as usual. I did, however, take a few hours to visit with Tom and Mae Adamyk on Sunday afternoon.

Instead of wearing my Sunday best to their St. Michael area home, I wore my grubbies, sweat pants that I have worn for decades that sport paint from several projects, and an ancient sweatshirt I got at a photography conference 25 plus years ago.

I did feel a bit sheepish, but the warm welcome I received indicated it didn't matter what my attire, they made me feel right at home, and I really enjoyed their hospitality and wonderful personal stories and valuable information they generously shared with me during my visit.

Thinking about my sweat pants made me think about a pair of orange and brown polyester plaid pants my mom use to wear. I, along with my siblings, would give her such a hard time about those pants that were fashionable back in the early 70's and were still being worn in 2001.

My mom refused to throw those pants out, opting to convert them into protective covers for her pots and pans that she used to cook with on an open fire when we went camping. Now those covers are serving the same purpose in my holiday trailer. No doubt they will be passed on to my son as he's the next in line.

A special treat during my time with Mae and Tom was going to visit "the old house" that exuded such warmth, and enveloped me into a cozy cocoon, while they shared bits and pieces Tom & Mae Adamyk about their families histories. It's this special place that will be the focus of a feature article in the Oct. 17 edition, and I can hardly wait to share the photos and information I have with you.

Letter to the Editor ‘Time to get real about our situation’ We need to get real about our situation. In 2013, when TransCanada introduced the Energy East pipeline project, the price of oil was $107 US a barrel. There was no Paris Accord and we hadn’t yet experienced so many climate-change related floods, wildfire and hurricanes.

European countries had not yet decided to ban combustion engines or the sale of gasoline.

Clearly, things have changed. But we can still maximize the value from our natural resources ….if we start looking realistically at our future instead of wishing we

could live in the past.

First, let’s start refining bitumen here. It was profitable to energy companies to ship raw bitumen to the United States and sell our own oil back to us but the government policy allowing that was short-sighted and irresponsible. It makes no sense that Canadians have to purchase imported fuel because we failed to build the infrastructure to refine our own.

Now, despite our large reserves of oil, we have no energy security. We also don’t have those refinery jobs. Let’s do that now.

Second, let’s innovate

petrochemical production. Let’s attract the investment that will create jobs, support innovation and make us leaders in petrochemical product design and production.

Alberta has some of the best brains in the world: they are as important a resource as any oil field.

Let’s make sure they can have an exciting future right here.

We need to get real about our situation.

Some politicians are blaming the cancellation of Energy East solely on tougher environmental regulation, but that’s dangerous and distracting. Repealing environ-

Crystal Inverarity Ad Sales

mental protections won’t lift the price of oil and won’t prepare us for the future.

Instead, we should be focusing on developing our capacity to add value to our own resources, and develop our province’s remarkable potential in geothermal, wind and solar energy.

We cannot hold back technological progress and we cannot change global opinion. The world wants clean energy, and we can give it to them. The question is: will we?

From Where I Sit: I’m so glad

By Hazel Anaka I just returned from a quickie trip to the Ottawa-Gatineau region of central Canada. The impetus was an invitation to a friend’s wedding. It was a difficult decision to commit to in late August given the timing. Of course, at that time I had high hopes that harvest would be chugging along. Not. Because of (another) delayed harvest and the additional time required for a re-election campaign, Roy stayed behind and Hilary was my companion.

As it turned out, all I missed was the rain and demoralizing snowfall.

We crammed a lot of action into just a few days. The wedding itself was historic in that it was the first wedding to take place in the newly

restored and rededicated St. Onuphrius Church that is located inside the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau.

This church was moved from Barich, AB in the mid 1990s as a symbol of the Ukrainian-Canadian immigration experience.

Many of us wore embroidered clothing for the violin-led procession from the Four Points Sheraton to and through the Museum. The traditional ceremony was lovely and was followed by a reception at City Hall.

On Sunday, we spent a good part of the day surveying the museum’s exhibits. I loved the Stamp Collection. With the 150th theme we were reminded of the good, the bad, and ugly of Canada’s history. In a happy accident we also visited the MOSAÏCANADA 150 exhibit in Jacques-Cartier Park. It’s a spectacular display of nearly 40 horticultural exhibits, some one or two storeys in height, commemorating Canada’s 150 years. It truly needs to be seen to be believed. By evening we were settling into the home of one of Hilary’s university friends.

The Monday afternoon tour of the House of Commons I had pre-

Church Calendar For more information call 780-895-2780 Church Directory ad $40+GST per month

arranged with MP Shannon Stubbs’ office had to be rescheduled to Tuesday. But since we were already there, we did the outdoor part on our own. We posed at the Canada 150 sign, the Centennial Flame, the Terry Fox statue. Purely by accident, we stumbled across the installation of the new Governor General Julie Payette.

Because of security we couldn’t get close enough to hear anything but did see ‘the hair’ and were startled by the 21gun salute and the flyby.

The truly decadent part of the trip was the five hours Aruna, Hilary, and I spent at Nordik SpaNature in Chelsea, QC. It is an outdoor facility with countless saunas, hot tubs, cooling plunges, and relaxation areas. A selection of shared appetizers and wine rounded out this remarkably restorative experience. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Hilary and I spent Tuesday morning at the National Gallery of Canada. Of particular appeal are the Group of Seven galleries. I’m also glad I was able to show her the abstract Voice of Fire painting whose acquisition in 1989 for $1.8M scandalised the country.

Picture an

acrylic canvas of about 18’ h x 8’ w consisting solely of three vertical stripes. It’s the second time I’ve seen it and it still seems like someone got taken. Tuesday afternoon was spent going through security (x-ray, metal detector, wand) at least four times before we finally got into Question Period.

Having visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial where Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered and seeing the grand hall where the shooter tried to kill others, we didn’t object to the increased security.

Question Period was every bit as wild, loud, and disrespectful as you’ve seen on TV. A handset allows you to hear the question, the non-answer, and a translation of French. Hilary noticed that a female NDPer was barefoot when she rose to ask her question.

I wasn’t impressed that a PC backbencher didn’t have a tie on. When we peeked over the edge we saw a Liberal MP with not a speck of paper on his desk. Luckily he kept himself amused looking at photos on his cell phone.

For so many reasons, I am so glad I chose this

escape.

Quality time with a precious daughter, participation in a special wedding, a return to some of Canada’s most impor-

Vegreville RCMP lay break and enter charges Vegreville, AB The Vegreville RCMP were dispatched to a break and enter in progress at a rural property southeast of Vegreville around 12 Noon on Monday, October 2.

The farm owner had

been alerted to the presence of someone on his property via a wireless security system. The homeowner could see video in real-time of a person walking around his property and checking doors.

Upon police arrival the male attempted to flee

but after a brief foot chase he was apprehended and arrested. Further investigation showed that the suspect had entered the garage of a neighbouring farm in addition to what was observed on video.

Thirty-one-year-old Darwin Jonathon Bruce

of Edmonton was charged with two counts of break and enter and one count of possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace.

Bruce was remanded into custody and is to appear in court on October 5, 2017.

Minor Hockey scores to be posted again in the Leader - notify us if we miss any local player KERRY ANDERSON Each winter I spend several hours Sunday evenings accumulating hockey scores and scorers from three different areas where Caribou Publishing newspapers are located. It’s a fun way of giving minor hockey players in our area a little credit for their victories playing Canada’s favourite game.

In the Beaver County area, Lamont County area and Flagstaff County areas, parents have let me know of particular websites where local hockey players participate in leagues which post scores semi-regularly. Because our print deadline is Monday, I scour these sites each Sunday evening in an attempt to get the latest scores and give scorers some credit for their good games played that week.

Believe me, this is no easy task over three different counties in both the Zone 2 and Zone 7 districts.

There are dozens of teams in dozens of leagues play-

ing in many different age and skill levels.

Some leagues and teams are more prompt than others when it comes to posting game sheets. Often it is up to the home teams to get the games into the league websites, and the parents and coaches are quite busy running around with their teams all winter long making sure these kids get the best hockey experience possible.

As well, there are some hockey players likely playing in leagues which I have no idea even exist.

Before your young hockey player’s league begins this winter, please send out an email to me letting me know what website I can go on to find statistics for your local hockey player’s team.

The goal is to give every hockey player boy or girl - in our areas credit for their achievements without missing a single child.

But I also need your help.

If a local hockey player is being missed in the weekly minor hockey

league write ups, please contact me - it will have been a complete oversight. Also because

leagues and websites change, please send me an email letting me know for sure what league

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, October 10, 2017 - 9

Fire prevention the key On average, eight people die each week in Canada due to fires, with 73% of these deaths occurring in residential fires. Fire Prevention Week occurs October 8th – 14th and the theme this year is “Every Second Counts. Plan Two Ways Out!” Real world experience, backed up by laboratory testing, has consistently confirmed that residents may have less than three minutes from the activation of their smoke alarm to exit a burning residence. This is due in part to new materials used in house construction as well as furniture and other contents.

Local mutual aid group Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NRCAER) joins in the public safety campaign and is helping to highlight the importance of being prepared for, and knowing what to do if a fire takes place. “We typically educate about Shelter in Place safety, and what to do in case of an airborne hazard,” says Brenda Gheran with NRCAER. “However, for Fire Prevention Week, we want to provide residents in our region with these important tips and fire safety reminders.”

Prepare & Practice • Draw a map of your home, showing two exits from each room and the path outside from each exit to your selected meeting place.

• Fire drill twice a year: one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home, and practice using different ways out.

• Teach children to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.

• Make sure your house number is clearly marked.

• Close doors behind you as you leave – this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire.

• Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building.

Check Your Detectors Test your smoke detectors monthly to ensure they are in working condition. Check the date on detectors, and replace after 10 years.

Connect with NRCAER NRCAER will be among 20 organizations participating at Life in the Heartland’s next Community Information Evening on October 23 at Pembina Place in Redwater from 5:00 – 8:30 pm. Residents are invited to attend to hear updates from local industries and organizations.

Residents invited to provide input on Alberta Cannabis Framework The Alberta Cannabis Framework proposes who will be able to buy and use cannabis once it is legal, where they will be able to buy it and where they will be allowed to use it.

The framework supports four policy priorities for legalization: keeping cannabis out of the hands of children, promoting public safety on roads, in workplaces and in public spaces, protecting public health and limiting the illicit market.

Kathleen Ganley, Minister of Justice and Solicitor General stated on October 4,“I’d like to thank every Albertan who participated in our various engagements regarding cannabis legalization over the summer.

With your input, we’ve drafted a proposed framework to manage legalized cannabis in our province. We look forward to receiving additional feedback from Albertans on this framework.”

High-level details of the

draft framework • A minimum age of 18 to purchase and consume cannabis.

• Provincial oversight and regulation of wholesaling and distribution of cannabis products through the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC).

• A public possession limit for adults of 30 grams.

• The ability to grow up to four cannabis plants, no taller than one metre, at home for personal use.

• Restrictions on retail locations selling alcohol, tobacco or pharmaceuticals together with cannabis.

• Strict rules around zoning retail locations and training for employees.

• Provincewide restrictions on where cannabis can be used in public, with an emphasis

on protecting children and limiting secondhand exposure.

• Ability for municipalities to introduce additional restrictions on public consumption.

• New tools to expand the ability of police to address drugimpaired driving.

• Development of an extensive public education program.

The framework outlines what Albertans can expect when cannabis become legal in the province next July. The framework is to represent a starting point and will likely evolve over time.

Full details of the draft and a survey are available online, and will be available until October 27.

READ-IN Week activities SUBMITTED ARTICLE Students and staff at Lamont Elementary School celebrated “reading” this past week during our annual Read-In Week.

The READ IN Week initiative began when UNESCO declared 1990 The Year of Literacy to raise awareness for the importance of literacy.

Every year Lamont Elementary joins with all Elk Island District Schools and schools across Edmonton to focus on instilling the love of reading in all students and to encourage life-long learning.

This year our theme, “I’m a reader. I read for me”, was about cultivating a love of reading and creating passionate and engaged readers. It celebrates the uniqueness of our reading lives and helps spark a positive reader identity.

We are all readers, so our goal was to bring in many community members to share their love of reading with our students. During our daylong celebration of reading, students discovered READERS all around them.

Thank you to MLA Jessica Littlewood, Mayor Bill Skinner, School Trustee Colleen Holowaychuk, Captain Scott Calder, Constable Janice Schoepp, 4-H Leader Colette McBride, High School Principal Sharon McLean, and

Mrs. Mae Adamyk for coming in and reading to our students.

Students discovered that they can read anywhere, in their classrooms, in the gym, in the library, in tents and best of all, while wearing pajamas.

Our Roving Photographer spent the week “catching” students reading and posting their photos on our “I am a Reader” bulletin board. We celebrated reading this week but our hope is that our students will continue reading at school, at home and wherever their journey takes them.

Thank You Firefighters!

IF A FIRE OCCURS IN YOUR HOME,

GET OUT, STAY OUT AND CALL FOR HELP

Lamont County’s regional fire service held the Wildland Firefighter Level 1 course was held over two weekends between September 23 and October 1.

According to Regional Deputy Fire Chief Shayne Milliken, some of the major topics in the course include wildland fire behaviour, safety on the fireline, care and maintenance of tools and equipment, and constructing barriers to protect certain areas and structures. In addition to these, there was significant emphasis on how we can reduce the threat to improved properties if constructing barriers were not to be an option.

“All of our firefighters receive basic wildland fire training within each of the fire districts. This course provides a much deeper level of understanding,” added Milliken.

There were twelve firefighters that took part in the training, with three members of the Fort Saskatchewan Fire Department. Milliken, along with Lamont

County Regional Fire Chief Dave Zayonce conducted the training, and Regional Training Officer Leslie Clarke served as the official examiner. At the end of the course members wrote the certification exam and, if successful, will obtain their internationally recognized seals in Wildland Firefighting.

Staff and Council would like to thank all the brave men and women who work so hard to keep us all safe.

Thank you firefighters

MUNDARE MARY IMMACULATE CARE CENTRE Mary Immaculate Care Centre (MICC), formerly called Mary Immaculate Hospital, a 30-bed continuing care facility located on the outskirts of Mundare.

The Facility Today Mary Immaculate Care Centre operated by Covenant Health. Convenant Health is Canada’s largest Catholic provider of a broad range of health care services in hospitals and care centres in urban and rural communities across the province as a key partner in Alberta’s integrated health system.

The original Mary Immaculate Hospital was established in 1929 by the Sister Servants of Mary Immaculate who came from the Ukraine. In 1995 the facility was converted from an acute care hospital to a long term care centre and in 2015 the name was changed to Mary Immaculate Care Centre by the Minister of Health to more accurately reflect the care and services at Mary Immaculate. There are 75 employees, 2 physicians and approximately 25 volunteers at the Mary Immaculate Care Centre. Our residents range in age from 51 to 103 years with the average age being 84. 60% of residents are female.

We strive to identify the health needs of the community and ascertain which programs and services would best meet the needs of the residents both in our facility and in the community. We also offer support to the Mary Immaculate Hospital Foundation.

Warawa, who farms 4,000 acres northeast of the community, was unloading grain, but took time to sit down at the kitchen table and talk about farming. Warawa, who farms with his son Ryan, said he has always enjoyed serving the public, and is excited about some of the activities and projects Lamont County is involved with. “We’ll have some exciting announcements in the next two weeks,” said Warawa, He has been impressed with the in roads the county has made in regards to economic development as well as the regional fire training centre which is nearly complete.

Warawa said

he would like to get the road construction program “going again” to address some of the issues and projects that are either online or in the planning and develop-

Bruderheim recognized the nation’s capital for its outstanding work with Communities In Bloom OTTAWA-GATINEAU The Town of Bruderheim received a 5 Blooms rating and a special mention for Native and Fruit Trees Planting Partnerships during the 2017 National/ International Symposium and Awards Ceremonies in OttawaGatineau, National Capital Region on September 16.

The community also received an Outstanding Achievement Award for the Canadian Nursery and Landscape Association Environmental Action Award.

The Town of Bruderheim participated in the Up to

4,500 population category along with Hanna AB, Maple Creek SK, Merrickville-Wolford ON, Valhalla Centre AB and Windsor NS. Over the summer, trained volunteer judges travelled to participating communities to evaluate the overall contributions of municipal council and departments; industry; businesses and the private sector – including volunteer efforts – in regards to the following criteria: Tidiness, Environmental Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscape and Floral Displays.

Following their evaluation, volunteer judges Lucy Chang and Louise Dumouchel wrote: “The community of Bruderheim has long recognized the importance and benefits of planting trees for improving the urban environment and enriching the quality of life of its inhabitants. In October 2016, the Town received news that its application for the Community Investment Grant offered through Shell Scotford, a neighbouring integrated hydrocarbon processing facility, was successful.

Soon after, members of Tree Canada, Shell Caring Volunteers, Bruderheim Ag Society and the local

Communities in Bloom volunteers worked together as a force to plant 519 indigenous and edible trees at the Bruderheim Ag Grounds.

In July 2017, Shell and Tree Canada confirmed they would partner again with the Bruderheim Ag Society and Bruderheim CiB to plant additional trees. This summer, the Town of Bruderheim’s Public Works staff and BECJM

Enterprises, a Bruderheim business of excavating contractors, offered their support as well to plant 270 native and edible fruit-bearing trees at the municipal campground. KUDOS to all those involved in these extraordinary partnerships that not only contributed to the beautification and enhancement of green spaces in Bruderheim but also generated civic pride

and a sense of community – People, Plants and Pride growing together!”.

Within the actual context of climate changes and environmental concerns, communities involved in the program can be proud of their efforts, which provide real and meaningful environmental solutions and benefit all of society.

18 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, October 10, 2017

Every Child Matters theme of Orange Shirt Day Michelle Pinon Editor Orange Shirt Day was an opportunity for all Albertans to show their support for the estimated 12,000 residential school survivors. Many schools throughout the province and within the Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) marked the day, (September 29), with special presentations.

Lamont High School was no exception where survivor John Fournier told his story, and representatives with the Elk Island Youth Ranch Learning Center gave an in-depth presentation to students and staff, and two students performed the Jingle and Shawl dances to showcase part of their culture.

Elk Island Youth Ranch Learning Center teacher Michel Blades highlighted some of the local history.

MICHEL BLADES Blades asked students and staff to “imagine a time before the Town of Lamont was founded, a time before Ukrainian and European settlers began their lives in this

area, and a time before roads, fences and farms…this land was unsettled prairie, flourishing with forests, natural grasses, lakes and rivers… These lands were the peaceful traditional lands of the many Cree, Ojibway, Anishnabe, Dene, Nakota and Saulteaux tribes.

Be honoured to share your life and family story with many others who shared this land before us. They protected and respected it for its beauty, its abundance and the life-giving natural world that existed within it. This land that we stand on existed as traditional Cree hunting territory. Now recognized by government imposed reserve lands, these tribes are now represented by the people of Saddle Lake First Nation, Kehewin First Nation, Beaver Lake First Nation and Cold Lake First Nation to the east and north east, and Alexander First Nation, Enoch Fire Nation, Alexis Fire Nation and Paul First Nation to the west. The Maskwacis Nations of Louis Bull, Erminskin, Montana and Samson are the tribal representations to the south of our present day home of Lamont.

Many children and families from these nations were sent to Blue Quills Indian Residential School by St. Paul, which closed in 1970, as well as other schools in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Children

were often times sent to locations unknown and too far away from their home communities for travel and visits to be possible.

cumstances, and the request was denied. A couple of months later his mother died of tuberculosis.

John, who is from

memories of horse training, sleigh rides in the winter and picnics, but he did not elaborate on the difficult times. Some of the most difficult times were the five years he had to spend in the Charles Camsell Hospital in Edmonton to recover from tuberculosis.

Students were robbed of their culture, spirit and pride and for that Premier Rachel Notley apologized for Alberta’s silence in the face of 25 federally run schools that operated in the province.

Education Minister David Eggen stated during Orange

Shirt Day that the province is enhancing curriculum to ensure all K-Grade 12 students and teachers learn about the history of residential schools. Eggen went on to say, “We know how important it is to build understanding of the tragic history of residential schools. As we move forward on the path of reconciliation, our education system can become a place that contributes to healing through knowledge and learning.”

St. Henri Indian Residential School opened in 1900 and was closed in 1968.

Residential School survivor John Fournier tells his story as Lamont High School Principal Sharon McLean holds the microphone steady during the special presentation during Orange Shirt Day held on Friday, September 29.

Principal Sharon McLean said she couldn’t imagine having your children taken away from you from September until the start of summer holidays.

“Can you see how lonely they (your parents) would be without you?”

McLean said the ongoing impact of residential schools has been felt through the generations, and said Lamont High was very fortunate to have survivor and close family friend John Fournier with them to share his story.

John said his father and two brothers died of tuberculosis, and his mother asked if he could stay at home a bit longer in light of their tragic cir-

northern Alberta, said he stayed in the mission until he was 16 years old.

“I was probably admitted when I was eightyears-old. Church rules.”

He walked the students through a typical day which began at 6 a.m. with a wake up call.

After washing up they went to prayers at 6:30 a.m. and chapel at 7 a.m.

Breakfast was at 7:30 a.m., followed by clean up. Classes started at 9 a.m. The mission operated a mixed farm, and John said the students were required to work there after school. “This work stood us in good stead afterwards…so there was some good that came out of it.”

He recalled happy

Medical Assistance in Dying has 2nd interim report The passage of the legislation on Medical Assistance in Dying in June 2016 was an important step in providing access to a full range of options at the end of life, including the choice of a medically assisted death for eligible Canadians.

The release of the Second Interim Report on Medical Assistance in Dying represents the Government’s commitment to ensuring Canadians are kept informed on how the legislation is being implemented across the country.

The first federal update was released on April 26, 2017, and covered the first six months of implementation of the new federal legislation on assisted dying, from June 17 to December 31, 2016. This second update provides information on requests for, and cases of, medical assistance in dying between January 1 and June 30, 2017.

Across the country, there were 1,179, medically assisted deaths between January 1 and June 30, 2017. This accounts for approximately 0.9% of all deaths nationally, up from 0.6% in the first reporting cycle. While this represents a 46.8% increase

from the first six months that the legislation was in place the overall numbers remain consistent with international experience. Of these deaths, cancer* was once again the most frequent underlying medical condition, cited in 63% of all cases.

Health Canada will continue to release interim reports on medical assistance in dying using available data until the Government finalizes regulations for a permanent monitoring system.

These finalized regulations are expected in 2018. Later this year, the Government will publish draft regulations for consultation in Canada Gazette Part I. These draft regulations will be open to comments from the public and stakeholders. The federal monitoring system will ensure that high-quality, comparable Canadian data about medical assistance in dying is consistently collected and reported.

The Second Interim Report on Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada and general information on end-oflife care can be found on Canada.ca. *Does not include the province of Quebec.

Advocacy groups assisting Bruderheim in physician search

By Alicia Fox For the last two years, the Bruderheim Town Council has been tireless in its efforts to better the lives of local residents.

Its most recent initiatives opened the doors to a new pharmacy in town, which has an attached clinic as a potential space for a new physician.

On Sept.

9, Bruderheim Town Council and residents came out to show their support for Ehab Mohammed, pharmacist and owner of Bruderheim Pharmacy, at a celebration of the grand opening and ribbon-cutting of the community’s new pharmacy.

Patty Podoborozny, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Bruderheim, said they have been looking at what avenues should be taken in their efforts to bring a doctor to town, which is one of Council’s key objectives. “It’s not just about finding a p h a r m a c i s t , ” Podoborozny adds. “It’s about finding the right person. Mohammed is

currently working on his Additional Prescribing Authority (APA), which will allow him to write new prescriptions rather than just fill them in an emergency situation, let him adapt dosage as needed, or renew regular prescriptions on the drug list. He expects his APA will come through within a matter of weeks.

Meanwhile, he will keep his prices reasonable and his service excellent, even if it means home-delivery. “I will go above and beyond,” he said. The short jaunt downtown is much better than the previous option of a 20minute trip to Fort Saskatchewan or 10-minutes to Lamont, especially for single-vehicle families or seniors who cannot drive.

These are also the closest locations of a physician, and according to other towns in a similar situation, having a pharmacy to support those physicians is crucial.

“We want to be able to keep people in the community longer, and the

only way to do that and be sustainable is to provide basic services of life,” Podoborozny said, adding they have also connected with their MLA who has been active in advocating for them.

Resident Amanda Oldfield-West said she has loved the conven-

ience of having a local pharmacy. “I don’t have to load up my three kids and I get to save money on gas,” she said, adding a local doctor would be very beneficial. The Town has also partnered with the Primary Care Network (PCN) to bring in a variety of educational sessions into the com-

munity, which add to the services available to not only the 1350 residents but the surrounding rural area as well. For a doctor looking for a parttime position in a staffed and fully-equipped clinic, provided by the Town, Bruderheim may be the perfect location.

Judy Schueler, deputy

mayor, says rural communities provide a quality of life not found elsewhere. “It’s not all about money, it’s about lifestyle now,” she said, adding a work-life balance is becoming increasingly important.

“I think that’s what this (opportunity) will probably give somebody.”

Home invasion suspects taken into police custody Sherwood Park, Alberta On October 8 at 4:43 a.m., the RCMP responded to a call of a home invasion in the rural Vegreville area. It was reported that suspects entered a home armed with weapons before

fleeing the scene.

At approximately 5:15 a.m., RCMP officers located the suspect’s vehicle in Strathcona County and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The suspect’s vehicle refused to stop but was disabled using a tire deflation

device. The vehicle then rammed two police cars.

During this course of this event an RCMP officer discharged a firearm.

Two suspects were taken into custody by officers on scene. A third suspect fled on foot and has not been located. Efforts to

locate the third suspect are ongoing in the area of Uncas in Strathcona County. RCMP are asking that area residents notify the police of any suspicious activity.

None of the suspects or officers were injured during this occurrence.

Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this event.

At this time investigators believe there were only two suspects involved and are no longer looking for a third individual. Both suspects are in custody and

there are no concerns for public safety.

The police would like to thank the general public for the diligence and assistance with this matter.

CARD OF OF THANKS THANKS CARD On behalf of the Viking Colony we give our condolences to Rod Krips and family. We are sorry to hear about the passing of Ellen Krips.

Unfortunately, we were unaware of her passing.

Ellen was like a Mother to all who remembers being a patient at the Viking Hospital. Her bedside manners were very unique. She had a healing touch and a voice that soothed any ailment. Her angelic face was an uplift to all who crossed paths with her.

Although we appreciate all the hospital staff, Ellen was one of a kind.

Blessed are the Pure in Heart, For they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 _____________________ The family of the late Anna Stefanik would like to thank everyone for the cards, food, and donations in her memory and attendance at her funeral inspite of the storm that blew in. We are truly grateful to the Bruce Ag. Society for providing the lunch, Dwayne Erickson for performing the ceremony, and to Paulette Erickson for delivering the eulogy. You were all important people in Mom’s life and we are blessed that you would share in our sadness but also in our celebration of Mom’s life. Our thanks also to Earl and Rose Mae Kjelland for providing their excellent services in a very personal and caring way. Finally, we would like to thank Extendicare for their respectful and loving treatment of Mom while a resident there.

This Week On The Web: Calling out catcallers Woman takes selfies with catcallers

Noa Jansma, a 20-yearold student studying design in the Netherlands, has started a small Instagram account for her catcallers.

Jansma, like many women, experiences cat calling on a daily bases with the unwanted attention ranging from irritating to downright disturbing.

Her Instagram account is a capsule of a months worth of encounters and contains 24 selfies with her and the catcallers.

The account, @dearcatcallers, has gained 174 thousand followers and has comments flooding in the tens of thousands from all over the world.

Jansma was inspired to capture this part of her everyday life when she realized that half of her classmates, the women, all could relate to her experiences, and the other half, the men, didn’t believe that catcalling was still a thing or thought that it was that big of a deal.

At first Jansma was worried that taking the pictures would be unsafe and that the men would be suspicious of her, but she found that most of the time the men were happy with thumbs up, and seemed to think that they had been complimenting her.

All of the men were clueless to the fact that she was not happy with their unsolicited comments and unwanted attention.

Every photo is captioned with the “clever quips” and “thoughtful feedback” from the com-

plete strangers who “liked what they saw” when Jansma walked on by.

The goal of Jansma’s protection was to educate men on the fact that catcalling is still very much a thing, and that it is not appreciated.

No woman wants to be told what to do with her facial expressions, or hear what some creep would like to do with the rest of her.

Jansma has stopped taking the photos, but would like to encourage other woman around the world to show what it’s like to be catcalled.

Hello, It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know all the great people in this town throughout this election. I have personally spoken with over 100 people at their doors to get a sense of the issues that are affecting the people here.

Regards, Kirk Perrin

Michelle Pinon Editor Wednesday, October 11 was the first day of practice at the Andrew arena for the local figure skating club.

Andrew Figure Skating Club (AFSC) President Sandra Marianicz said that while some of the skaters had been practicing in Fort Saskatchewan for the past month, Wednesday was the first day on home ice.

Marianicz was pleased to report there are a total of 33 skaters in the club between two and 14 years of age. “We have three coaches this season, Abby Kozma our head coach, Judy Henry, and Juline Chomay. We offer skating levels from Kidskate to Starskate. Practices are Mondays and Wednesdays for Jumpstart skaters, Wednesdays and Fridays for Canskate and Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for Jr’s and Star Skaters.”

Two of the club’s skaters, Kaylee Marianicz and Colton Foreman will be competing in sectionals in Lethbridge between Nov. 2-5. Colton will be competing against four other men in the juvenile men under 14 category and Kaylee will be skating in the prejuvenille under 11 category against 42 other girls in the category as well as participating in a number of competitions throughout the season. Marianicz went on to say, “Home events this year will include Canskate Elements Event, High Test Day, and our Annual Carnival which will be held on February 24.”

THANK YOU CANDIDATES Thanks to all the community-minded candidates who advertised their election campaigns with the Lamont Leader leading up to Mondayʼs election. An election is our most basic democratic right. Please exercise your right to vote on Monday and please read up on the candidates and choose the one you believe to have the most similar vision to yourself. Win or lose, we salute everyone who put their name up to serve the public.

13 Ways: Your Welcoming Little Lie

By Doug Griffiths, Community Builder If I were to visit your community, attend a town hall meeting of average folks, and pose the question, “Is your community a welcoming place?”, I have no doubt the answer would be a resounding “yes” from the crowd.

Unfortunately, that is likely a lie. It may be a deliberate lie you tell yourselves so you don’t feel shame or guilt, or it may be an accidental lie because you simply aren’t aware just how closed off your community really is to outsiders and newcomers, but regardless, it’s likely to be a lie.

The first problem is that what most of us think of as being welcoming is just being friendly. There are a lot of friendly communities out there. I have been to many places where people smile when they pass you on the street. Some even say, “Hi”. If you are lost, they will even point a finger in the direction you should head. That is being friendly. There is nothing wrong with just being friendly, but admit that is all you are, and stop telling yourself your community is welcoming when it takes so much more than being friendly.

I remind you that you don’t have to be a welcoming community, but be aware of the consequences of your decision to not be welcoming.

Outsiders bring new energy and ideas to your community. They bring money, and they spend it too. They bring kids for your school. They bring volunteers for community events. They start businesses. They buy houses. They grow the economy. They add an adaptability to communities that have grown old and stagnant. They bring fresh perspectives to old challenges. If you aren’t a welcoming community you likely won’t get much, if any, of those great things.

Most communities are not deliberately unwelcoming, even the ones that regularly label newcomers as FOBs, newbs, or come-from-aways.

Communities most often aren’t trying to deliberately chase people out of

town. They simply don’t know what they’re doing, or the consequences of the attitudes that create those words.

Being welcoming is what draws people in, and most importantly it is what makes them stay. If your community wants to have a prosperous future, it is going to need more people, which means it is going to have to be deliberately welcoming, and try to create a reputation for being so.

When I refer to communities in this column, most people will be thinking of the town in which they live. That is valid, but community goes deeper than just our town. A community is a group of people with a common purpose which is often based on shared characteristics. We all belong to many communities. I belong to a community of parents with pre-teen boys. I also belong to a sub-community of parents with preteen boys who play soccer. I also belong to a community of small business owners, and consultants, and former elected officials. None of them are official groups with membership dues, but they are communities of people with common elements.

The smaller the community, the harder it is to gain access as an outsider. Small towns are notorious for being cliquey and unwelcoming to outsiders who can’t seem to gain access to the communities whose purpose and characteristics they share.

Imagine how lonely it can be when a newcomer to a community can’t gain access to those communities that we all need to be a part of as social beings. It can be horribly lonely, and can drive many families and individuals to re-evaluate their choice in locations, and often drive them to move. If you really want to ensure your community has a bright future, you are going to need new people, and there is a very effective way to ensure they come, and stay.

Being a welcoming community means deliberately going out of your way to make newcomers, outsiders, and immi-

grants feel like they are part of the community. It means introducing yourself to someone new, and offering to help them get acquainted with what the community offers. It means finding out what sports or activities their

kids are interested in, and connecting them with those services or sports. It means having them over for a barbeque to introduce them to your community of friends. It means seeking them out and making

them feel like your community is their home.

That is what being a welcoming community is all about.

It can be challenging to find a path to becoming a welcoming community.

Success requires a com-

munity-wide initiative. It requires ensuring community members understand the real value to everyone in being welcoming. It’s hard work, but the pay off in terms of community success is worth it.
