Eric and Rose Frobelʼs Winter Wonderland in Chipman was a spectacular sight to behold this holiday season. The coupleʼs three lot yard was brimming with statues, wreaths, inflatables, a vast assortment of clear and coloured lights, (numbering more than 11,000), to make the festive atmosphere electric and magical for Chipman and area residents to enjoy as they walked or drove along 47th Avenue.
Panel consultations next step in Bill 6 Michelle Pinon Editor
Even though the deadline for survey responses regarding Bill 6 has come and gone, written submissions are still being accepted, said Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood. “Anyone interested can submit written submissions to farmand ranch@gov.ab.ca,” stated Littlewood. She also pointed out the government will be consulting with farmers, ranchers and other stakeholders over the next 18-24 months to develop regulations.
Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood According to the government website, farmers, ranchers, and other stakeholders will be consulted to design workplace regulations that
reflect the unique nature of the farm and ranch industry. “Input is needed on how to best implement the changes for Occupational Health and Safety, (OHS), Labour Relations and Employment Standards legislations, as well as on what supports industry might need from government. For employment standards and labour relations, consultations will also cover possible special provisions for the farm and ranch industry. There will be ongoing consultation around technical standards for the OHS Code.”
The aim of the consultations, according to the website, would be to provide input prior to government drafting regulations, as well as afterwards. “Work will also be undertaken to research and review regulations in other provinces where similar laws already exist.” Littlewood stated that a few people had come forward after the town hall meeting in Vegreville, and asked to be “part of the conversation” and to “contribute” during those panel discussions. Those consultations will centre on six tables of representatives from a broad diversity of
agriculture operations, and will be appointed by Feb. 1st. While representatives will be drawn from agricultural producer groups, municipal governments, agriculture services boards, labour, and individual producers and employees. Lamont County Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak said that was his understanding as well, but as of right now, he did not have any official confirmation regarding possible representatives, (either local or regional) to date. The tables, the province refers to on its website include: employ-
ment standards table, labour relations table, OHS general safety regulations, best practices for safety within existing Alberta farming operations, OHS unique considerations in Alberta farming operations and the interpretations of OHS legislation, OHS relevant technical rules and the education, training resources, and certification required to implement regulations. People who wish to receive updates on the panels can make a request to be added to the online mailing list, noted Littlewood.

Opinion Intend to make 2016 your best year ever During a recent get together with fellow members of the ‘Ladybugs’ club, discussion turned to New Year’s Resolutions. I regaled them with the tale of time I created an extensive list of resolutions, (about 25 in all), and how it only took a couple of days to break each and every one of them. This year, I only made one resolution, and that was to start conversing again on Facebook after a self imposed hiatus of several years. My sister and friend convinced me to reinvest some of my time and energy into staying connected online. For some reason that I can’t recall, I have been connected to Hillary Clinton’s fundraising campaign for many months now through my email. The latest message was to chip in a dollar sometime over the next three days to “make sure Hillary gets the chance to take him, (Donald Trump), on and beat him.” Hillary’s message also contained a message for Donald Trump: “Enough”. The message, sent courtesy of Christina, went on to say, “It’s one thing for him to go after Hillary and Bill Clinton — they can take it. It’s another thing for him to attack huge swaths of the American people and an entire religion, like women (whom he’s called “pigs” and “dogs”), Mexican immigrants, (who he thinks are criminals and rapists), and Muslims, at a time when we need them to help fight ISIS and other extremists. We can’t make Donald Trump stop talking. But we can make sure he never, ever becomes president.” I digress... it was suggested to look at resolutions as intentions; looking at the positive over the problems, and utilizing the right tools in order to make our intentions achievable. No matter what intentions you want to focus on, if you set them with a friend, the odds of achieving them increase significantly. Since I’ve been a wannabe Ukrainian for several years now, I now have more time to reflect on my intentions, and I hope you take some time to do the same to make 2016 one of the best years ever.

IBC’s top 1o tips for a safe and happy new year in 2016 EDMONTON, Dec. 31, 2015 /CNW/ - As we welcome the New Year, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) reminds western Canadians to review their home insurance policies, update their home inventories and take steps to protect their personal property. “Reviewing and updating your home inventory list after the holiday season, which may have brought expensive gifts into your home, helps protect your personal property and can speed up the claims process in the event of a theft or loss,” said Bill Adams, Vice-President, Western and Pacific, IBC. “As we prepare to ring in 2016, we at IBC encourage western Canadians to take a few moments to review our important tips on how to ensure that the New Year is a safe and happy one for you and your family.” IBC’s top 10 Tips for a safe New Year are: 1. Review your insurance policy to ensure that you have adequate coverage. 2. Shop around to find the right policy for your own unique situation. 3. To prevent possible slips and falls, keep your walkways and front stairs clear of snow and ice. 4. Create or review your family emergency plan. 5. Update your home inventory list by adding new items, including gifts received over the holidays. • Note the approximate value of the items, including makes, models, serial numbers and any other identifying marks. 6. If necessary, hire an appraiser to determine the value of works of art or jewellery to avoid a possible claims misunderstanding. 7. Take photos or a video of your home’s contents. 8. Keep your home inventory list, and photos or video of your home’s contents in a safety deposit box, a fire proof safe or in another secure location away from your home. 9. If you are renting, ensure you have tenants insurance. A landlord’s policy will not typically cover your personal belongings or liability. 10. If you have questions, speak to your insurance representative.

From Where I Sit: Start Again
By Hazel Anaka If you truly want 2016 to be different than any year prior you will follow my daily instructions implicitly. And damn well like it. Upon springing out of
bed after exactly eight hours of restful sleep drink the first of at least eight glasses of cool fresh water. Add Metamucil to get the health benefits of added fibre. A nasal rinse done twice daily will ensure your breathing is as good as it can get in our dry climate. Speaking of hydrating, don’t forget your eye drops. That should stop that annoying grating sound every time you blink. The truly dedicated soul will attack her exercise regime first thing. Choose your poison from the array of exercise equipment already in your house: treadmill, cycle, stairs, et cetera. Be
sure to get your heart rate into the target zone and put in between twenty and sixty minutes. By now you’ve earned breakfast. Eschew any coffee because that may bring pleasure into your morning. Opt instead for….hell, if I know. Select the healthiest, freshest, leanest, cleanest food you can afford and prepare it like a master chef. Enjoy. Repeat twice more plus snacks. To prevent premature aging and preserve what you’ve got don’t forget to brush and floss, exfoliate and moisturize, pluck and plump. Wear sunscreen. Assuming you have
time for a soul-satisfying job, get thee there. Preferably by walking or public transit. Sit (or stand) at your ergonomic workstation and avoid the toxic people in your workplace. Take periodic breaks to stretch and rest your eyes. Do more than you’re paid for to keep your career aspirations alive and your job secure. Cater to the needs of spouse and children. Their happiness and contentment is critical to your sense of fulfillment. Uh-huh. Consult the many books about marital relationships and proven parenting skills to learn how. Just know it’s a full time job. Sorry.
steps is the recommended minimum daily level of activity. Doing at least some of them in the great outdoors is better yet. Find reasons to get up and move. Balance your chequebook, pay your bills, save for a rainy day because the storm clouds are gathering. Plan some R & R by taking mini breaks or an extended holiday. Feel your blood pressure drop as you gaze at sandy beaches and ocean views. Fall exhausted into bed, content with your progress today because tomorrow you start again, from where I sit.
Despite that you must carve out quality time for yourself. This is when you do yoga, meditate, read, pursue your hobbies and interests, write that book, learn another language, stop and hear the still small voice within. Read spiritual, inspirational, motivational material. Nurture relationships with family and friends. Volunteer your time and talent to those who need it. Practice your faith. Begin a detailed plan for selfimprovement. To avoid ‘sitting disease’ act like a pioneer. Don’t spend too much time sitting, watching TV, glued to your devices. Ten thousand

Local pilgrimage demonstrates the true meaning of Christmas Michelle Pinon Editor
Heavenly direction and the Grace of God are what led Therese and Glen McDonald to Mundare a few months ago when they purchased the old hospital they renamed Chesterton House. Divinity also led the couple, their children, other family members and friends on a Holy Family walk through the streets of Mundare and Vegreville on Tuesday, Dec. 22nd. Our Holy Family pilgrimage through the streets of Mundare and Vegreville, took place under the idea and organization of Lorraine Williams, and ourselves, and our family. Our costumed Mary was presented by Bernadette McDonald, Joseph was played by Micah Barter, and Abel, a beautiful white donkey is
much warmed on a cold day by the love between siblings, between parents and children, and what I believe to be holy families, giving it all to be followers of Christ. It was beautiful visiting the hospital residents, the Sisters, senior lodges, the Esso, all the businesses along Mundare’s and Vegreville’s main streets, the Co-op, restaurants, town halls, etc.” Campbell, who posted a photo and comment on the town’s Facebook page received the biggest response ever with 3,400 posts. “We prayed, we sang, we waved, gave warm wishes, and we walked about both towns,” added Therese. They also shared their love of God willingly with residents of both communities to deeply cherish the Holy Season, and make Christmas 2015 truly unforgettable. Our day in

He died on June 14, 1936 at the age of 62. Therese stated that, “In naming it (the former hospital), after the great G.K. Chesterton, we pray this home may reflect his common sense, his example of holiness, loyalty to Christ and His Church, and his profound wisdom.” The McDonalds describe their new home as a place of “refuge and rest,” and the family welcomes private and group retreats as well as special events. She went on to say, “We have established, by invitation, a calendar of events, celebrations, and activities primarily for Catholic families and individuals. Although this endeavour is very much at the heart Catholic, Mary, portrayed by Bernadette McDonald, and Joseph, portrayed by Micah Barter on main street in Mundare on Dec. 22nd.
