Falk says feds ‘dropped ball’ on vaccine GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Rosemarie Falk thinks the federal government isn’t doing enough to protect seniors in long-term care homes with its COVID vaccine plans. Falk spoke briefly about the vaccination rollout after meeting with members of the Lloydminster Concerned Citizens for Seniors Care Society and Mayor
Gerald Aalbers at City Hall on Monday. “I think the federal Trudeau Liberals have really dropped the ball on this,” said Falk, who is the seniors’ critic for the Conservative Party. “I think they should have been a lot more forthright and open and transparent when it came to, specifically vaccines within the COVID pandemic, but also being transparent to our premiers so they could plan

accordingly.” Falk says while it’s up to each province and territory to decide who gets the vaccine first, she believes the federal government could be doing more to alleviate the anxiety, stress and burdens that seniors could be feeling right now.
“
I think isolation is one of our biggest barriers at the moment— just seniors who are living in these facilities may not be able to see people or as much as they used to.
The discussions with seniors at City Hall included Pharmacare, a national seniors strategy and retirement income security—under the umbrella of COVID. Graham Brown, president of the Seniors Care Society, says they talked mainly about national standards for seniors care in terms of physical facilities and nursing care, given the high rate of deaths at long-term care facilities from COVID.
“We know there is a real shortfall that was there before COVID, but it has really shown how big the problem is,” he said. “It’s a matter now, can we get some of the standards up, get some of the staffing up and how can the governments work together to provide that.” Falk thinks COVID has shown Canadians that it has exacerbated the cracks in the system. She says seniors might be falling through the cracks with Pharmacare for example, to access medication rather even dealing with isolation. Falk says seniors are socially isolated during COVID and not being able to see others, which is so imperative for their mental and emotional health, and even physical health. “I think isolation is one of our biggest barriers at the moment— just seniors who are living in these facilities may not be able to see people or as much as they used to,” said Falk. “Especially around the holidays; it’s very difficult.” Falks says it’s easy to argue the items on the agenda are local issues. “Seniors are feeling just the cost of inflation with the
taxes going up,” she said. Falk says the federal government’s plans to increase the carbon tax from $50 a tonne in 2022 to $170 a tonne in 2030, could make it tougher for seniors to make ends meet. “It’s making the cost of living go up, which affects everything, whether it’s food, income security and even when it comes to medical security,” said Falk. Falk says she was able to come to Lloydminster to hear about senior issues with Parliament recessed on a winter break, while making sure Canadians are still getting the information they need. “The work doesn’t stop just because the House isn’t sitting,” said Falk. Brown says it was good to hear from Falk about some of the challenges from the federal perspective in trying to affect change for seniors’ care. “It is a complicated issue, but we keep working at it. Hopefully, we will see some improvements,” said Brown. His next step is to share the information Falk provided with Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young and Vermilion-LloydminsterWainwright MLA Garth Rowswell.

Proactive police strategy working

Lloydminster RCMP Detachment Inspector, Lee Brachmann, told the Rotary Club of Lloydminster overall crime in the Border City is down in 2020, while vandalism crimes such as the smashing of all three windows of the Speed Den at the Husky Oval ice surface, reported on Dec. 12, are up. GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. The Lloydminster RCMP Detachment plans to continue to evolve its proactive police strategy heading into 2021 using tactics that are working to reduce crime this year. That’s what Inspector Lee Brachmann told the Rotary Club of Lloydminster in a near yearend review presentation via Zoom on Monday. “We’re going to continue to enhance our communication with the public,” said Brachmann. “That is a key area we need to focus on, so people know we’re hearing their concerns and their feedback and
we’re actioning that as well.” Expect another virtual Let’sTalk Policing night in January or February similar to the first one held in November, in partnership with the City of Lloydminster. “The feedback we received was good. It was thoughtful,” said Brachmann. He has also created a Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee for 2021 that has representation from a number of diverse groups in Lloydminster. Brachmann thinks the initiative will help the RCMP in Lloydminster to enhance trust and develop some relationships between
police and various communities. “I am hoping to create policing practices that are inclusive, fair and transparent without inadvertently advantaging or disadvantaging anyone, including conditions where people can feel comfortable reporting crimes to us,” said Brachmann. The proactive strategy in 2020 has led to the reduction of many crimes from January to December. “In the city, overall property crime numbers are down by about 8 per cent, which is good to see compared to
this time in 2019,” said Brachmann. The RCMP is also seeing a 20 per cent reduction in the theft of vehicles. Brachmann says there is a 35 per cent reduction in theft under $5,000 in occurrences and nearly a 40 per cent reduction in the number of thefts over $5,000. “We are also seeing a reduction in theft of possession of stolen property files. Right now, year-to-date we’re seeing a reduction in break-and-enters as well,” he said. The detachment con-

Charity project enriches students GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. A group of four Grade 12 students at Holy Rosary High School (HRHS) learned about the impact of running a community charity campaign, especially during the pandemic. Thera Kusch, Chloe Roberton, Brynn McGarry and Halle Hanson completed a school donation drive called the Bebe Project with a $4,700 cheque to present to St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish. The school donation will allow the parish’s Five Loaves Two Fish ministry to buy food and baby supplies for needy families and individuals in

Motor vehicle collisions are down by 20 per cent this year. “I think the pandemic played a role in that given more people were staying home early in the year and driving less,” said Brachmann. He also thinks their police enforcement efforts played a bit of a role there too. Brachmann says crime reduction really comes down to being proact ive in t he way they do things and following up education with wrap-around supports from community groups. “I am very proud of the work the Lloydminster RCMP has done over the past year and
the community. “With COVID it’s harder to be involved and help out so being a part of the Bebe Project helped all of us feel a part of the community again,” said Hanson, speaking for her group.
“We really felt we made a difference and
did something that mattered.” Hanson says the Bebe Project is named for its focus on newborns and toddlers and children, making sure their needs are met and are fulfilled in the community. Another school Bebe project is in the works in the new year with Hanson and her group stoked by the success of their recent fundraiser. She thinks COVID was a factor in helping them to exceed their $2,500 fundraising goal. “I think people know now more than ever, how much people need this food bank and this help. Everyone was really eager to donate,”
said Hanson. HRHS vice-president, Jason Almond, filled in for the group’s staff supervisor Doug Abrosimoff to speak about the keys to the students’ success. “Just them coming together and seeing the need and being able to put the word out to classrooms and teachers and encouraging the students, so just a whole group effort,” said Almond. He says the group did a fantastic job of leading a fundraising campaign after the school was not able to conduct their annual Halloween for Hunger food drive back due to COVID restrictions.
I appreciate the continued support of the community,” he said. Brachmann says their crime reduction strategy is looking mostly at property crime, drug crime and local gang violence with a proactive focus on crime hotspots and a few individuals who cause a disproportionate amount of issues in the community. “The Lloydminster RCMP in 2020 placed a strong emphasis on proactive policing. What that included was developing a whole detachment approach to proactively reducing crime,” said Brachmann. “The main things we’ve been focussing on
is identifying where’s our areas of highest need and putting police officers there with an eye to reducing crime overall.” He says they’ve made a lot of big gains so far this year in reducing crime along with some areas for improvement heading into 2021. “We have been seeing an increase in personal crime. Our mental health numbers are also trending over 30 per cent higher as well and our vandalism mischief files are higher as well,” said Brachmann. “We have made some good strides, but there is some more work to be done too. We’ll focus on that in the months coming up.”
Brachmann says his year-in-review obviously could not be complete without speaking about the impact of COVID on their operations and the city. He says they have been dedicated throughout the pandemic to maintaining an effective policing service throughout the city. All of his officers are now wearing personal protective equipment when they go out on the road. The force has also reduced its in-perso n c o ntac t as mu c h as possible and created a local call back unit to respond to situations that don’t require an officer to physically attend.
“
With COVID it’s harder to be involved and help out so being a part of the Bebe Project helped all of us feel a part of the community again.

Each of the four project leaders had an equal role to play with some positive outcomes. “I learned how to get the word out there and really impact people and encourage them to give back, and how important it is to be a part of something like this and help others out when they need it the most,” said Hanson. She says her role was helping to advertise the campaign the week of donation through the school’s parent newsletter and organizing a prize for the top donor class. “We all kind of
helped out with the social media aspect. We put out the word in advance and made a video to show all the classes,” she said. The group used HRHS’ Instagram and Facebook accounts to rally all students to the cause “For a week of donations, each teacher collected from the class daily and we collect their money twice during that week and counted it as a group.” Hanson says they also had some outside community donations including a notable donation from Posh & Cozy in Lloydminster.

College Park marks 12 days of kindness GEOFF LEE

.................................. A Grade 6 class at College Park School has been showing acts of kindness by the
dozen this month. Students in teacher Christine Thiessen’s tech-enhanced class are showing it daily with words and deeds

during a 12-days of Kindness project ending Dec. 17. The class picked 12 different groups to focus kindness on with activities ranging from in-school ideas to showing kindness in the community. “Some of the things I come up with and kind of guide them,” said Thiessen. “We did a little research on some different examples of random acts of kindness and I told them the things you can do, can be really tiny things, but they make a huge difference in someone’s day.” She alluded to the day they did acts of kindness in the hallway when her students stuck upbeat sticky note messages on 1 60 locker s as an example of the power of kindness. “It was really neat seeing the reaction of other kids coming into the hallway and see-

ing those notes,” said Thiessen. “My students are starting to realize those differences their little actions can make on other people’s lives.” The kindness initiative is part of a Classroom Champion Challenge from Canadian Paralympic mentor Brittany Hudak.
The biathlete won bronze in the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games and provides Thiessen’s class with some video lessons on a different topic every month. “This month happens to be community. She gave us the challenge to show different kindness in our community,” said Thiessen
On community kindness day, students built Inuksuk snow sculptures around the school paths and got a lot of positive feedback from people strolling by. Some of the other successful activities during the 12 days of kindness included showing kindness at recess, kindness to their own families and kindness to other teachers too. One day last week, Thiessen’s class used a program called Google Jamboard on their laptops to make complimentary notes about school teachers at College Park. “I took a screenshot of all the different pages for teachers and sent it to them,” said Thiessen. “Every single teacher got back to our class whether in-person or sent an email back saying how much they appreciate it.”

Leeway from Lloyd: Good riddance to 2020 STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
This has been one of those annus horribilis years in the history of mankind, and I can’t wait for it to end. Our troubles with COVID-19, mixed with climate change and overall chaos, reminds me of a book I read years ago titled, A Distance Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century. That time period was marked by the start of a mini ice age, the 100 years war, religious persecution and the Black Plague in a world in chaos. That sounds awfully familiar to the first two decades of the 21st century nearly behind us with terrorism, global warming and COVID creating a new world of insecurity. Maybe I shouldn’t read any more books. It was published in 1978 reflecting the thesis of author Barbara Tuchman, that the death and suffering of the 14th century reflect those of the 20th century, particularly the horrors of the First World War. Tuchman should have waited until 2020 to publish it to make it more relevant. With its little ice age, the plague,
antisemitism, the Papal Schism, the advance of the Ottoman Islamic Empire into Europe, the 14th century she writes about sure seems more like a reflection of the last 20 years. It was one of my all-time favourite books and now I can better understand the meaning of the title, A Distant Mirror, as it didn’t quite fit into her 20th-century analogy. By the end of the 14th century, the population in Europe had declined from an estimated 75 million to about 25 million, but the Renaissance began in Italy in the 14th century too and carried on into the 16th and 17th centuries. Just like the 14th century, a whole lot of progress is being made today on multiple fronts, despite the chaos, to look forward to the future optimistically. The list would include medical advances like the vaccine for COVID, space travel, digital communications, agriculture to feed the world, and a growing call to counter global warming and pollution. I don’t know if there are any lessons to be learned from the book or from history, other than saying history does have a way of repeating itself for better or worse. It’s got to better in 2021.

“It’s important for us to give back to the community,” said Bobcats head coach and general manager Nigel Dube. “We’ve done ham-
pers in the past, Easter hampers or different food drives, and just with the restrictions in place, this pause in the season, we thought it was imperative for us to give back in any way
that we could.” The Bobcats staff came up with the idea of organizing a Christmas food drive shortly after the AJHL announced that on-ice action would come to a stop in early December. Over the next two weeks, the team ran with it asking their supporters to help them collect non-perishable food for families in need. Dube said the good folks at Pure Vibe Studios really stepped up to the challenge putting out a dropbox for donations that has helped the club build the hampers, which should provide families with enough food to last a week. He said they’re organizing the donations

creating hampers and we weren’t sure what we were going to get as far as collecting, but there was a big outpouring,” he said. “We just want to give
a special thank you to everyone who donated and to all the other groups in the community that are collecting and helping out during the holidays.”
