‘Happy Wanderers’ group keeps local senior ladies busy throughout the year Kylie Kuflay Student Reporter

The ‘Happy Wanderers,’ a group that provides rural senior women an affordable chance to attend functions, and events in and around Alberta, also keeps them busy throughout the year. “The group was started by a few women in the community who were interested in doing fun things,” said Chairperson Loretta Kroeker. “These women realized that there was a need for an organization that would give senior women in the area an affordable chance to attend various functions.” Kroeker explained that ‘Happy Wanderers’ was arranged after some ladies heard that there were other older women like themselves who do not drive out of the small towns very often. Many of these women no longer have a partner to attend functions with or aren’t interested.
“Surveys were handed out to as many women as we could find in local coffee shops, or restaurants,” Kroeker added. “These surveys helped determine that this was something that could be beneficial for them.” After going through the surveys a committee was formed with volunteers to represent Tofield and Ryley. “We try to target older women with a set age from age 55 and up,” explained Kroeker. “But although there’s a set age we would never turn anyone away if they wanted to come and were a bit younger.” The group has already participated in various events, such as a Legislature tea and tour, Dinner theatre, and a visit to the Lois Hole Enjoy Centre. Happy Wanderers will continue to focus on local events in the community and surrounding areas such as the annual Christmas events, dinner the-
atres, and others that the group expresses interest in. “I have enjoyed the enthusiasm that the women have exhibited when they attend each event,” said Kroeker. ”Of course it should be stressed that we are still learning, and everything doesn’t always go as planned, but the excitement stays even if things don’t go the way they were intended to!” Happy Wanderers has asked local businesses for grant money to continue to operate and are grateful that they recognize the need to increase the quality of life for senior women in the local area. “Addressing social isolation among the many rural women in the comunity was the most important issue for this group,” Kroeker stated. “I think we will continue to address and meet the needs of our senior women and we hope Happy Wanderers will be in operation for years to come.”

is looking forward to be the only cannabis store owner in Beaver County to date when his store opens in November. “We are slated to open in November but who knows,” said Mansley on the delay surrounding the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (AGLC) acquisition process. But he’s hopeful. “Shortly after the legislation was passed last year, the AGLC declared a moratorium because of a supply shortage and we’ve been waiting since,” Mansley explained. With a long career in the oilfield, Mansley took an early buyout from his previous company rather than relocating to Calgary with his young family. “Sometimes we come to a crossroad and I decided it would just be better if I took an early pension and
worked on creating something of my own,” he added. “I decided to take over and buy a liquor store in town, which so far has been doing brisk sales, but at the outset it was tough.” Mansley hadn’t envisioned being a one-man show, which his business was. “I was used to a corporate culture where there were various departments taking care of your requirements, but I learned fast that I was the only person and decisionmaker in this venture and that was a steep learning curve,” Mansley recalled. “Whenever I get stuck I turn to online forums and figure it out as I go, that’s been a blessing, and now I am looking forward to starting up this second business, which I hope will open doors in November; but if for some

reason we don’t get the licence by October, we will postpone the opening to next year.” Mansley and his partner Brad Brooks are already in the liquor business together, and will venture into their second partnership with the cannabis store. “When we heard that cannabis will be legalized, we got involved and listened to what the province would be doing moving forward,” Mansley said. “We’ve attended local council meetings in an attempt to figure out if it’s going to be viable or not; getting the business permit and securing the building lease for the store were really hassle free, so now it’s just a matter of time that we get this started.” Mansley, however, is worried about community perceptions and em-

phasized that his operation would be run professionally and not some “backyard open den.” “Sometimes I wonder about the backlash from local residents, but cannabis has been legalized and that’s the truth,” Mansley noted. “And all we will be trying to do is provide the products locally and save people trips to the city.” With the closest stores in Camrose or Fort Saskatchewan, this will be the first cannabis store in the county. “We’re hoping that with Tofield beginning to be as self-sufficient as possible, this is a win-win for both the community and us, because it will attract traffic from the neighbouring communities, which also means revenue for the other local businesses. We’re excited and hopeful.”

Locals Landon Van Engelen and ANNOUNCEMENT Ty Yoder in Fifth Brettzky Annual Patricia Harcourt Staff Reporter
The Fifth Annual Brettzky Hockey Challenge was another tremendous success playing out over the weekend with the help of the famous hockey Sutter clan, with stars from the hockey world and local players doing their bit for this big fundraiser. Also playing in the tournament were Tofield’s Landon Van Engelen and Ty Yoder for the home Gas Kings team. Games started Friday culminating in the evening with a Young Stars Game featuring the away team Red Wings versus the home Gas
Kings team. Mayor Jason Ritchie led his four-year-old son William onto the ice to do the official puck dropping ceremony for team representatives Brett Sutter (Gas Kings) and Parker Kelly (Red Wings). The game officially ended with a 2-2 tie but the Gas Kings got two successful penalty shots based on penalties meted out to the other team during the game, giving them the 4-2 win. The evening featured pre-game introductions of all the young star hockey players who hale from many different hockey venues, and who graciously participated in this fundraiser. Funds go for Viking
youth sports and activities, and organizations that help with the wellbeing of the community. Last year $39,000 went to 13 such organizations in Viking and surrounding area. At the end of the game Zach Wilson of the Gas Kings and Red Wings goalie Ty Marcinkowski were each given Player of the Game awards by Brettzky committee member Todd Ritchie. Games took place over the entire weekend for fans to enjoy. There was also a beer gardens, children's activities and a pancake breakfast on Saturday morning. Saturday evening sponsors, volunteers and players took a break for a meal at the
Viking Community Hall. There were live and silent auctions, a 50/50 draw for $2,015, and a Beer for a Year prize followed by a dance featuring 2018 ACMA winner Renegade Station. Semi-final games on Sunday included TheClub defeating the Ribstones 6-3 in Semifinal #1, and Beaverkings defeating the Blues 11-4 in Semifinal #2. In the Finals, TheClub took on the Beaverkings in a great display of hockey action that looked equally matched between them. At the end of the set two period game the teams were tied 4-4, but penalty shots could not

Ryley post office gets new windows. KERRY ANDERSON PHOTO

This past Wednesday, Aug. 7, the Ryley post office had a scene of great busyness about it as workers tried to get new windows fixed, a project long due now. Judy Magneson, a parttime worker at the post office said, “It’s usually decided by the Canada Post authorities, and this

time it was our turn as the windows hadn’t been fixed in a long time.” Magneson said she wasn’t sure when was the last time this was done, but conjectured it could possibly be the original windows since the post office started operating. She has been working at the post office for more than a decade on and off and said the most enjoy-
able part of her job was dealing with adults and interacting with them! Magneson, who is a bus driver joked, “It’s a relief to come to the post office and know that I will be dealing with adults and grown-ups mostly here.” According to Magneson, the post office also upgraded its flooring recently along with the Holden post office.

Loose Ends: Look Ma, no clothes!
Carol Livingstone Tofield Mercury Columnist
I just found out that August 5th was National Underwear Day. It has to be a joke, I thought, perhaps an attention-getter from the store announc-
ing their sale of all things unmentionable. But a few moments with Uncle Google proved that it was real, in the US anyway. National Underwear Day (NUD) provides an opportunity to wear our favourite undies. (Boxers, briefs, panties and tighty-whities were mentioned. Hopefully camos, thongs, hipsters and bloomers weren’t offended at not making the grade). I can’t speak for the male population (and
maybe not today’s modern woman) but except for those preferring to ‘go commando,’ it is assumed that we all wear underwear; who’s prepared to check? But while some people see it as a necessity, others think of it as more of an accessory. The first group may have certain items they like to call everyday (often made of cotton and for comfort and selected for modesty) and save others (black, lacy and barely there, so they can feel alluring and sexy) for
special occasions. Women can still buy those cutesy packs of panties with the days of the week embroidered on them but I have no idea who wears them. If pressed I’d have to think they belong to a much younger crowd than I run with. One that can still run, at least. For most women bright colours or animal prints might be considered, ‘wild’ enough. To observe NUD it is suggested that you post a picture of yourself on social media wearing
your favourite undies. (Look ma, no clothes!) The photo provided by Google showed a whole herd of scantily clothed folks, all young and beautiful, looking like models used to standing outdoors being admired and photographed. Too bashful or maybe too smart to almost bear it all for the fame and fortune of YouTube or Facebook? You can just wear your boxers or high-cuts around the house when no one else is home, or
even if they are. But you might want to close the drapes so that what happens at home stays at home. August 5th was also National Work Like a Dog Day and Oyster Day. So next year, if I remember, I’ll definitely wear underwear and might even work like a dog, but I’ll pass on the oysters. Unless they are canned, smoked and readily recognizable as coming from the sea and not some rancher’s branding corral.
Impaired driving and mischief keep RCMP busy Cpl. Sheryl Cody Tofield RCMP
Last week, members of the Tofield/Viking detachments responded to a total of 59 calls for service, of which eight were Motor Vehicle Collisions (MVCs). On Aug. 5, Tofield and Viking members were dispatched to a complaint of an assault and threats with a shotgun in the Holden area. Upon further investigation, the allegations were found to be false. A female from the Holden area has been charged with Mischief and is awaiting her court appearance. On Aug. 8, Tofield RCMP assisted with a complaint of an impaired driver north of town. The female driver was arrested and brought to the Tofield RCMP detachment where she provided two samples of her breath, both resulting in a fail. The female has been charged with Operating a
Motor Vehicle while Impaired and Operating a Motor Vehicle over the Legal Limit. She is awaiting her court appearance. On Aug. 6, attempts were made to steal a vehicle in the area of 53 Ave. and 51 St. in Tofield. Although the perpetrators were not successful, a significant amount of damage was done to the door handle, ignition, and the steering column. No items were stolen from the vehicle. On Aug. 6, Viking RCMP received a complaint of a break and entre at the Battle River Transit site near Kinsella. Several tools were stolen and a transmission line was cut on one of the machinery pieces. This file is still under investigation. The Viking RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious male standing on Highway 26 trying to flag down motorists in the rain. Members attended and located the male. Upon further in-
vestigation, he was found to have two warrants out of Edmonton. The male was released on a PTA and given a courtesy ride to Vegreville. On Aug. 7, Tofield RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision at the intersection of Township Road 492 and Range Road 182. A Ford 1/2 ton truck ran the stop sign
and was struck by a SUV, causing both vehicles to run into the ditch. The occupants of the truck had to be extricated by the Tofield Fire Dept. using the Jaws of Life. All parties were transported to Tofield Hospital. The driver of the Ford 1/2 tonne was charged under the Traffic Safety Act.

Common denominators of mass murder EDITORIAL Kerry Anderson Tofield Mercury Publisher
There are really only a couple of common denominators that factor into mass murders like the back-to-back slaughters in the USA over the past few weeks. Although there are never tragedies that politicians can’t twist in favour of their own personal agendas, mass shootings have less to do race, religion, nationality, or politics than they do with “hate.” Hate knows no national boundaries. Hate is not uncommon to any race, country, religion, or political belief. People are always looking to pin the blame of these crimes on some labelled group, most recently white supremacy and gun owners. But the truth is, if you took away both
there would surely be more mass murders because what hasn’t been taken away is the hate. Note the differences in the following mass killings: • The Garissa University attack in Kenya in 2015 had 148 murdered by AlShabaab, a Muslim group murdering mostly Christians. That group was also responsible for killing 67 in the Westgate Shopping Mall murders in 2013 in Kenya. • In 9/11/2001 Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda killed 3,000 indescriminantly during four coordinated attacks in the US. • The Peshawar School Massacre in Pakistan was committed by a Chechen, three Arabs and two Afghans killing 149. • Islamic terrorism was also to blame for the 2015 Paris attacks killing 130, among many others. • A South Korean man killed 56 people in 1982 when he went on a rampage through several vil-

lages in Uiryeong County, South Korea. • An American with roots in South Korea was responsible for killing 32 in the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. • A Caucasian was responsible for the Orlando nightclub shootings, Las Vegas music festival carnage, and Sandy Hook Elementary ambush, among many others. • In Beijing, China, in 1994, a People’s Liberation Army officer from China went on a
rampage killing 28. • Also in 1994 a Ugandan shot and killed 26 people attending a wedding party in his country. • In 2010 in Chihuahua, Mexico at least 19 people were lined up and executed at a drug rehabilitation clinic by a fellow Mexican. These are some of the worst examples, but the list goes on and on. They occur in countries with and without gun control. They happen with the use of handguns,
assault rifles, bombs, vehicles and even airplanes. Now consider the worse world dictators, all of which used many creative methods to exude hate: China’s Mao Tse Tung killed 70 million; Austrian/German Adolf Hitler killed 48 million (Holocaust and war); Russian Joseph Stalin killed 20 million; Indonesia’s Suharto killed over eight million; Iraq’s Saddam Hussein killed two million; Mongolian Genghis Khan killed a
couple million (in a much less populated world); Pol Pot of Cambodia killed 1.5 million; Russian Leonid Brezhnev killed a million; Rwanda’s Jean Kambanda killed nearly a million; Ethiopian Mengistu Haile Mariam killed half a million; Italian Benito Mussolini was responsible for 430,000 deaths; and Uganda’s Idi Amin killed over 200,000. Yes, hate is most definitely one common denominator. The other is – male.

The Tofield Mercury, Wednesday, August 14, 2019 - Page 7 Continued from Page 5 Tofield RCMP responded to a complaint of Mischief at the Ryley Grocery Store. A male had bought some prepaid phone cards and was attempting to return them. Once he was told that they could not be returned, the male pushed items off of the counter and damaged a display container that was on the counter. The male was identified by police and spoken to as the complainant did not wish charges to be laid. On Aug. 9, Tofield RCMP were dispatched to a single vehicle collision on Township Road 512. The complainant stated that the male in the truck was intoxicated and was waiting for a friend to pull him out of the ditch. Members attended and located the male with his vehicle. The male was asked to provide a breath sample roadside, which he failed. He was arrested
and brought back to Tofield detachment where he provided two samples of breath, both registering a fail. The male was charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle while Impaired and Operating a Motor Vehicle over the Legal Limit. He is currently awaiting his first court appearance. Tofield RCMP members were dispatched to a domestic assault on Aug. 9. The complainant reported that her spouse was at the residence to pick up some personal items when he got angry and struck her in the head. The male was located and arrested. He has been charged with Assault Causing Bodily Harm and was released by a Justice of the Peace on a No Cash Recognizance to appear in Vegreville Court. While conducting curfew checks, Tofield RCMP located a male and female in a trailer together, both are on conditions to not have contact with each
other. Both were arrested and charged. The female was also found to be on outstanding warrants out of Tofield Det. Bail hear-
ings were held for both individuals and were remanded pending first appearance in Vegreville Court.

The Young Star Game held Friday night was a highlight to kick off the weekend long 5th Annual Brettzky's Hockey Challenge for 2019. Prior to the game the hockey stars were introduced as the away team of Red Wings and the home team of Gas Kings. They lined up for a group photo of both teams after the game, which ended 2-2 until the Gas Kings made two successful penalty shots to win the game 4-2. PATRICAIA HARCOURT PHOTO
Fifth Annual Brettzky Hockey Challenge tremendous success Continued from Page 3 decide the outcome this time as each managed just one successful penalty shot. This was despite TheClub's getting four penalty shots and the Beaverkings' getting three that could have been used to win the day. With the score at 5-5, a three-on-three sudden death overtime was called. It was over quickly as Matt Stephanishion scored 1:06 seconds into the five minute O/T, giving TheClub a close and hard fought 6-5 win to take the 2019 Brettzky Championship. The weekend ended on a high note with Chris Sutter presenting TheClub Captain Devon Winczura and his team the championship trophy. "Thank you to all the Brettzky teams that played," said Chris, on behalf of his brother
Brett, the tournament's founder, at the end of the game. "Thanks to the Viking community for supporting the Brettzky this
year," added Todd Ritchie. "We have a board of 15 people and over 135 volunteers who helped out making it a great success.
"It's a fun time, and it's a great event for the town fostering some good community spirit building."

Committee nixes $75,000 for water management strategy - favours simpler approach to communicating issues to landowners Patricia Harcourt After hearing the parameters for a large water management strategy proposal, Beaver County's committee of the whole nixed spending funds to implement the project. "Consultants can prove anything they want to," said Barry Bruce, councillor for Division 4. Bruce said more needed to be done by the county to communicate proper water practices to landowners. "Before we spend $75,000 we need to make residents aware of what they can or cannot do with what is already in place (via the laws)," he said. Kevin Smook (Division 1) also questioned the need for the large scale study. "What are we trying to accomplish?" he said, noting educationally the county could do its own work communicating. But he wondered if "maybe we do need a consultant" in terms of strategy regarding water management. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) spoke of the "red tape it involves to do any water work." The province is trying to reduce how long it takes to deal with issues, he said, hopeful this "might help move things ahead." But he also noted that the county already has historical data regarding where water bodies are located in the county, including five bodies of moving water. "So will a consultant just take already existing reports and put them together?" he asked. County agriculture official Aimee Boese explained that the intent was to provide a strategic framework for informing council to help with policy direction. A water management strategy would provide "clear direction and guidelines on what can be done through policies and directives. "A policy change is an outcome of the strategy," she said, and would not help any particular landowner. "A water strategy is all encompassing," she said, and takes in a broad spectrum for a water management strategy including "what are we trying to achieve." Hrabec stated that he felt "pressed into a corner," with 90 per cent of water licenses in his Division 3. "We could have spent $10,000 on a beaver bounty and more ratepayers would have been happier with more tangible results…rather than spending $750,000." Dale Pederson (Division 5) defended the need for a water strategy. "I believe water was being mismanaged," he said, in his division. Pederson brought the issue to council in the spring which kick started the discussion on how to convey the rules and regula-
tions surrounding water use and practice to landowners. "It would be much more valuable…to have something which takes a definite direction" he said, regarding the entire issue of managing water in the county. Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) added that "municipalities have a great deal of impact on water management." Boese said that each division in the county has different water management issues but a water management strategy would identify strategic priorities. She asked if council is looking for a strategy or prefers to centre on educational awareness of water use. Bruce said he could not see a water management strategy that could work universally in the county. "Each division is incredibly diverse," he said, adding: "I like our policy as it is now…We look after our infrastructure and leave people to do what they want with their beavers." And he felt people would "go through the roof" at the $75,000 cost to implement an overall water strategy. Pederson countered in support of the project. "If we do we would have a framework in place," on which to act, he said. "We've got to get some direction on how to deal with this altogether." But Kallal suggested piggybacking onto the Beaver Hills Initiative (BHI) and its ecological work. "Why do our own study," he said. "I'm nervous about a strategy," he said, that wouldn't include inter-municipal development agreements with surrounding jurisdictions. "We should bring them in and partner with them." Boese said a strategic framework would include working with watershed organizations and the BHI. When Hrabec said he wanted "some inter-action with residents affected by licensed waterways," and a strategy to deal specifically with the 90 per cent of waterways in Division 3, Boese proposed hosting a workshop or meeting with these residents. Smook suggested a public consultation process for areas in the west end of the county who are also affected by water way issues. "Without developing a full blown strategy, if council doesn't want that direction, we could have sessions on the ground," said Boese. Bruce asked: "Is this a water strategy or a beaver strategy. There are places where combines go through cattails…We've had lots and lots of water. "Problems where beavers are in the creeks will still be there," he said. But he added that "humans are just
as problematic when they are draining (water)." And beaver numbers help create the water issues with the farmers. "A lot of beaver equals a lot of water," he said. Boese tried to convince the committee by stating that "policy will flow (from an overall strategy) to address issues like beavers and drainage." She suggested the county replace the word strategy with an extension plan, giving the example of how to help residents deal with beaver problems. Currently, the policy is not to help residents get rid of unwanted beaver on their land unless it affects county infrastructure. County CAO Bob Beck said there appeared to be "little appetite" for spending $75,000 on the water strategy. He also heard that in Division 5 the county "needs people to understand the results of draining" water off property; and in the rest of the county, "bring back the (land use) policy and revisit it instead of hiring a consultant and save some money." Hrabec agreed that the water management and policies pamphlet the county gave to councillors to hand out was effective in getting some landowners in his division to question their practices. He suggested posting the pamphlet on the county website and conducting a bailout to all landowners and residents. "If people read it they will become informed," agreed Bruce. "I see it as a better use of taxpayers' dollars than a consultant." Boese said she would work on an extension project to develop communication with regards to water issues.

County Council considers changes to meeting formats and times Patricia Harcourt Efficient and transparent use of county council's time is the driver behind a proposal to change meeting formats and times that might include more community input. At present, Beaver County holds a committee of the whole meeting (for discussion and direction to administration) the first Wednesday of the month and a regular council meeting (for motions to finalize decisions) on the third Wednesday. But council is examining ways to streamline the agendas for these meetings, and also considering evenings for public hearings and community sessions. "Lately, most meetings at the Committee of the Whole and Council meetings extend beyond the 3 p.m. end time specified in the Procedural Bylaw and often there is not enough time in Closed Session to adequately discuss time sensitive or complex items," Assistant CAO Margaret Jones explained at the Aug. 7 committee meeting. Councillors were given an overview of the challenges council faces, options to address them and desired results for each option. One idea for addressing insufficient time problems was to allow just late breaking items that are time sensitive in nature onto the agenda. Other items could be put over to another day giving administration time to gather information for the discussion. Council also considered the idea of hearing delegations later in a meeting, and limiting them to two per committee meeting only. Closed Sessions were proposed as an option to start the meeting from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. with put routine items put for the end of the day. Another suggestion was to end committee of the whole meetings in favour of two regular council meetings every month to reduce delays in implementing decisions as motions must wait for
regular meetings to be made. If committee meetings are still held, reduce the discussion to specific items such as strategic planning, budgets and long range financial plans like roads and capital planning. Another problems as inconsistencies of public hearings with a suggestion that each person attending get a procedures outline for the hearing, including the reeve and council. Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) favoured holding two regular council meetings each month, with committee meetings held only for special purposes. Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1) didn't favour eliminating a meeting, saying it has not worked in the past to try to "jam two meetings into one." He called it, "logical to have two council meetings," per month based on the amount of discussion council has at its meetings. But Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) also recommended holding evening sessions "so the public could attend more of our meetings. I think it's really helpful." Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec agreed (Division 3) agreed that two regular meetings per month was better, eliminating the committee meeting. He also favoured evening sessions for public hearings and delegations. "We fully heard people about that," he said, referring to those attending a pubic hearing on changes to county park rules and the recent municipal reserve hearing. People at both hearings complained that they would have had more people attend, or had to take time off work, for hearings held in the daytime. If there had been evening sessions it would not be such a hardship, they told council. "I fully agree we could easily have those committee of the whole meetings in the evening," he said, adding that if people don't come "nobody's hurt by trying." And he agreed more time was needed for dis-
cussing information at regular meetings, stating "hasty decisions" can be made without that extra council time. The meetings can be split up "so departments can be dealt with more thoroughly," he said. Bruce agreed: "You hit the hammer on the nail," he said, with the evening sessions suggestion. "We can be in any community," said Bruce, and "be anywhere for specific concerns to that area, especially if we are having a delegation from that area." "It could eliminate a lot of confusion and speed things up," agreed Pederson. Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) stated that he supported Smook's idea of two council meetings but still sees value in the committee of the whole. And evening sessions "allow people who can come then because most are working people." Hrabec also preferred holding a closed session the first thing at a regular meeting so council has all the information it needs to make decisions when topics come up. "So we have all the information available," he said. "We need to know prior to going in." Jones recommended that the closed session be for a specific time frame, "so the public knows what's going on." And Smook favoured only dealing with emergent items that are time sensitive. Others can wait for another meeting. "We need the information first to make an informed decision." He also agreed that evening meetings, such as the one held in Bruce to discuss security issues, were helpful in gathering information. But he felt they needed to be held in a non erratic manner. "We need some consistency so people will know." Jones said she would "refashion the procedural bylaw to incorporate some of these things and bring it back," for further council consideration. No changes can be made without motions being passed at a regular meeting of council.

Ryley Havanese ‘Arrow’ hit the bullseye Janan Semeniuk Guest Contributor
Havanese and Pomeranian breeder Terra Penner, owner of TerraMarie Pomeranians in Ryley got a big surprise this Canada Day from her female Havanese named Arrow, who delivered a litter of 11 puppies. “In my practice we deal with quite a few breeders and any litters of that size have generally been from larger breed dogs” said veterinarian Dr. Jim Neufeld of Beaverhill Veterinary in Tofield. “I’ve delivered up to 15 or 16 puppies from one litter but that was a larger size breed of dog. A Havanese is not that large a breed of dog.” The Havanese, also the national dog of Cuba, is a smaller breed usually reaching an adult weight
of seven to 14 lbs. They are slightly longer than they are tall and known as ‘velcro dogs’ due to their love of physical contact. Havanese are likely to carry between one and nine puppies during a pregnancy with an average litter size of four according to Neufeld. Although Arrow is only three and a half years old, the litter is slightly larger for her breed being 14 pounds, and yet she carried and delivered the “hefty lot with ease.” Needing no additional care during her pregnancy or assistance during her labour, Arrow brought her second litter of puppies into the world in six hours Penner said. Neufeld went on to explain the odds that a dog the size of Arrow could conceive that many pup-
pies, carry them to term and then successfully deliver them would range from one in a few thousands. In Neufeld’s 45 years practicing veterinary medicine, this is the first time he has seen it. “We thought when she had her last litter, that this would be the end of the big litters and her next one would probably be smaller,” said Penner, noting Arrow’s last litter, which was also her first of nine puppies. “She was larger with this one, but we really thought she was just carrying a bit of extra weight from her last litter a year ago. We had no idea how many puppies there were.” The Canadian Kennel Club, a non-profit organizationwho is the primary registry body for purebred dogs in Canada, began keeping records of

Three-and-a-half years Arrow recently gave birth to 11 puppies in one litter. SUBMITTED PHOTO litter sizes in 1985. Since that time only one other litter of Havanese puppies has compared to the size of Penner’s Havanese lot. Last September a Havanese litter was registered from Edmonton with a size of 11 puppies as well. Penner shows and breeds Pomeranians primarily and has only recently begun to include Havanese in her breeding program. After parents are carefully selected and health tested, they are then bred to produce dogs that will be healthy and, for some, champions in the show ring. When the pups are born, ones that show promise are kept back for
development into show dogs while others areplaced into carefully chosen pet homes under a strict non-breeding contract. “Once the pups turn seven weeks, they will see the vet for their first round of vaccinations and check ups,” explained Penner. “If the vet gives the okay, the pups will be ready for their new homes at eight weeks.” Penner said she begins breeding the females at approximately two years of age and they have between three and four litters in their lifetime with her before they are spayed and placed into Continued on Page 15

into pet homes. Although this is only Arrow’s second litter, Penner said she will be spayed as soon as the pups are weaned. “Twenty puppies are a lot for one dog to produce,” Penner said. “I would never make her go through another pregnancy.”
People have many reasons for wanting to purchase a purebred puppy versus one from an animal shelter. Their reasons include the extensive genetic testing done on the parents, knowledge of a dog’s lineage, or they are looking for certain characteristics that are associated with a specific breed.
Today, there is legitimate fear and concern regarding the purchase of a puppy unknowingly from a backyard breeder. Also known as puppy mills, these operations have an unreasonable number of canine parents living their entire lives in small unhygienic environments with limited food, health care, or
ventilation, and have puppies at every heat cycle in order to maximize profits. While Alberta has some laws protecting these animals, there is still much work to be done. Neufeld has some tips on how to ensure you are purchasing your puppy from a responsible breeder.

What did you do this summer? “I have been doing dishes down at the Moonshine Cafe, mowing lawns, and just tidying up at home. I also have been able to sleep in a lot which is nice. So far this summer, I have gone white water rafting on the Fraser River in British Columbia and that was really fun.” – Kody Kristensen
“During the summer I like visitng the Farmer's Market and enjoying pie and hot beverages. I’ve been to Victoria BC, Southern Alberta, and travelled a lot with my daughter this summer. And even though I don't have a garden, I spend my time filling bird feeders and hanging up bird bells. – Diane Rude
“During the summer I enjoy gardening. I have also gone camping and enjoy seeing the different places on our way to and from camping along the route. I also go to different museums around the province, which is always a nice way to spend time." – Sharon Heron
“I like going for coffee with some people on Mondays and Thursdays during summer. I visit my daughter and her family quite often, and I enjoy relaxing in my fourplex. I visit the Farmer’s Market for sure, so twice a month, and enjoy the coffee and pie with all my friends.” – Noreen Neufeld
As told to Student Reporter Kylie Kuflay on Friday, Aug. 9 at the Farmer’s Market hosted at Tofield Commu“I like travelling, nity Hall. going camping, and visiting different places during the summer. When I’m not travelling, I have to cut the grass, weed the garden and help install garage doors. I love travelling instead of doing the typical yard work throughout the summer though." – Dave Heron
