Members of One Service Battalion Administration Company pin their poppies on the wreathes laid on Rememberance Day in the Andrew Community Hall.
Andrew has honourable Remembrance Day ceremony on 100th Anniversary of WWI armitice MAUREEN SULLIVAN The Village of Andrew remembered the members of the community who served in the military, at their service on Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. At 10:45, the community walked from the Village Office to the Cenotaph where wreathes were laid from the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta, Lamont County, the Village of Andrew and by One Service Battalion Adminstration Company.
They then marched to the Andrew Community Centre, where the community sang O'Canada, and short remarks were made by Mayor Leppek and Lamont County Deputy Reeve Roy Anaka. The Last Post was sounded, followed by two minutes of silence. This was followed by more laying of wreaths in the community centre, while the names of those from Andrew and the surrounding community who
lost their lives in the World Wars were read aloud. A lunch was provided to the community by the Andrew Lions and grace was led by Connie Newgard. Wreaths laid were from the Veterans of Canada, RCMP, Air Cadets 341 Squadron, Lamont County Regional Fire Department - Andrew Division, Boy Scouts of Canada, Girl Guides of Canada, Andrew Curling Club, Two Hills Victim Services, Andrew
Agricultural Society, Andrew Community Centre, Andrew Lions Club, Andrew 4-H, Andrew Municipal Library, Andrew School and Council, ATB, Andrew Hotel and Liquor Store, FCSS, The Cooperators, Barpek, Bissel Memorial United Church, Kahwin Church, The Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Rainbow Seniors Club and Rural Crime Watch.

FROM WHERE I SIT: Watch in Disbelief
BY HAZEL ANAKA The United States has a reputation as a loud and proud nation. I suspect most American individuals share that view of themselves and their country. The US itself is the big wheel in the global community, though that glow is tarnished since Trump’s election as imbecile-in-chief. When Americans leave their borders to travel the world, they tend to be viewed as rude. That’s one of the reasons Canadians display our flag through clothing or pins---we don’t want to be mistaken for one of them. My intention here is certainly not to diminish
any legitimate credit for American achievements. They’ve distinguished themselves in scientific, entertainment, cultural, medical, space exploration, and other fields, no question. Yet, as I watch the TV coverage of the American political scene and recent mid-term elections, I am baffled. How is a nation with such an enormous ego engaging in such backward, red-neck, corrupt, illegal, and shameful behaviour? Behaviour that we see from dictatorships and banana republics. I’m speaking specifically about voter suppression. Election monitors from Canada routinely go overseas to supervise elections and spot corruption. Yet our big-shot neighbours to the south have disenfranchised voters, bungled the actual counts, and misplaced ballot boxes. Lawsuits before and after the election are asking judges to rule on

some asinine election rules that disproportionately affect black and brown voters. If you can believe it, in Georgia, Brian Kemp who is the Secretary of State that oversees the election is also on the ballot as a candidate for governor. He disqualified tens of thousands of voters prior to the election. As of this writing, the results of this election are not yet clear, even though Kemp declared himself the winner on election night. Hopefully the recount and scrutiny of mail-in ballots and irregularities will see Stacey Abrahams elected as the first black female governor EVER anywhere in the country. It is 2018, after all. Unbelievably, Georgia is not the only state with that cozy setup. So, how can such a proud country allow this to happen? How does a president scoff at and mock other countries,

going as far calling some s&*thole countries yet presides over a party that perpetuates these violations of rights? The hypocrisy is incredible. The problem is not new and some activists have worked for years to fix it. But because of the president’s unpopularity, people are mad as hell and not taking it anymore.

Opinion Social Media like a warm gun I remember watching a comedian on TV, who had the perfect analogy for what is wrong with handguns in regard to the US Second Amendment and why it doesn’t translate to the 21st Century. The same difficulty now applies to social media. Back in 1791 when the Second Amendment was added to the Constitution, America was new and not only was there a threat of retaliation by Britain but settlements were constantly under attack by Native American tribes which wanted their land back. With no police force, firearms were a very important part of everyday survival at the time. But what we call guns today are certainly very different than in the 18th Century when muskets and flintlock pistols were the best technology of the day. On to the comedian’s joke, comparing a situation today to the 18th Century. Today he said, a hothead develops some road-rage, and without a second thought exits the vehicle and blows the source of his anger away in seconds flat with a Sig Sauer P938 handgun. The difference in 1791 when the Second Amendment was created, would be that the scenario would go more like this, said the comedian: The 18th Century hothead pulls up to an intersection in his horse and buggy, but is cut off and blows his top. He pulls out his musket, uses his screw and wiper to clear the barrel, looks in his sack to find some gun powder and when he does he funnels it down the barrel. At that point he uses his ramrod to pack the bullet down the barrel, and by the time he does all that and is ready to aim the rifle - the irritant has not only ridden off too far for musket-range but his road-rage has also subsided. “I guess he’s not too bad a guy,” the musket hauling driver thinks to himself. That’s pretty much the same with social media today. Someone on Facebook reads a post from a friend, blows a fuse, and within seconds has typed out a snippy remark, hit send, and de-friended the commenter. However, long before social media, a person would receive a letter in the mail, read it and become hot about something written. At that point they would look for some parchment, and angrily pull their quill out of the top drawer of the kitchen cupboard. After finding their ink bottle and fighting with the lid, they would dip the quill point into the ink and settle in for a rebuttal. Much calmer at that point, the person notices the word “hour” was written instead of “our” and it completely changed the whole meaning of the sentence in question. The ink bottle was re-fastened, the quill cleaned and put away. Friendship still in tact. Kerry Anderson

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Marijuana’s negatives often ignored Marijuana users want society to believe the very thing they've told themselves for years - that the highs of marijuana far outweigh its lows when it comes to health and the effect on the masses. Informed minds that remain sober and less tainted by personal bias realize that's probably not the case. Cannabis is demonstrably helpful for a limited number of conditions and even then may not be the best clinical first choice. Meanwhile, those damned downsides remain. In Canada, medical marijuana use has grown dramatically from just 7,914 registered users in 2014 to 201,398 in 2017. This prevalence varies widely, from just 0.07 per cent of the population in Quebec to 1.7 per cent in Alberta. But as popularity has grown, many doctors have wanted more
guidance as to when cannabis is an appropriate option. From a public relations perspective, medicinal marijuana was a no-brainer for pot enthusiasts. Once society conceded an upside to marijuana, it became difficult to argue for its prohibition to prevent harm. It should surprise no one if marijuana's benefits have been overhyped or overstated, not only by political advocates but also by researchers whose bias may have helped them find what they wanted to see. Perhaps some were blinded by the haze of their own consumption. Researchers at the University of Alberta found the positive case for pot was weaker than many have been led to believe. G. Michael Allan and 18 colleagues looked at 31 systematic reviews of the therapeutic effects of cannabinoids, which altogether
encompassed 1,085 studies. Allan's team found that while studies were plentiful, quality was rare. Randomized clinical trials were limited or absent. Small sample sizes and short durations were common, making false positives more likely. Important quality markers were often absent, undermining the reliability of the results, if not creating outright bias. Earlier this year, the Canadian Family Physician published Allan's "Simplified guideline for prescribing medical cannabinoids in primary care." Copies were sent to 30,000 doctors, recommending that cannabinoids be prescribed solely for "neuropathic pain, palliative and end-of-life pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and spasticity due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury."

Letter: Harms of marijuana Continued from Page 4 Only the synthetic cannabinoid of nabilone or nabiximols is recommended, and even then only after two other options have been tried. T h e s e o p t i o n s exclude actual pot-smoking, partly because the chemical composition of an individual plant always varies - sometimes substantially. Cannabis has more than 500 compounds and over 100 cannabinoids have been identified. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive component. Cannabidiol (CBD) is also significant and seems to prevent some of the adverse effects of THC. Marijuana has grown in potency in both America and Europe. One study of American pot showed that in the 20 years following 1995, THC content had tripled while CBD dropped. Whereas THC content had been 14 times that of CBD, by the end of 2014, that number was 80. Allan prefers that doc-
tors prescribe cannabis as a third option at best, due to such potential harms as brain damage. Endocannabinoids help synapses (which connect neurons) form properly as brains develop, a process often incomplete until age 25. Regular marijuana use in adolescence alters brain connectivity and reduces volume, inhibiting memory, learning and impulse control. One 25year study of 4,000 young adults found that marijuana lowered verbal memory. A study in New Zealand found that frequent marijuana use in adolescence led to a loss of six IQ points in mid-adulthood, even if consumption stopped in adulthood. High cannabis use also correlates with mental health problems. Use in adolescence increases the risk of schizophrenialike psychoses and can actually trigger them. Cannabis users develop psychosis two or three years earlier than others - an effect not seen from alcohol or other substance use. Amotivational syndrome is a chronic disorder first recognized in the 1960s by patients with longtime cannabis use. This involves changes in personality,
emotions and brain function characterized by inward-turning, apathy and blunted affect. The potential for lung damage and cancer due to marijuana smoking is greater than that for tobacco. One study even suggested that smoking one joint a day caused the same lung damage and cancer risk as 20 cigarettes. Higher carcinogenic content is part of the reason but a greater degree of inhaled smoke is the other. THC also suppresses the immune system. Cannabis can also cause acute pancreatitis, though the exact mechanism is unclear. In addition, marijuana's cure for budget deficits has been overstated. The federal government has already spent $800 million to prepare for legalization, gobbling more than the first year's tax revenues. Now youth can carry five grams (seven joints) without criminal prosecution and return to homes with four plants producing 300 grams each. The majority of health and social costs won't be borne for decades. By then, history books will show how marijuana legalization was the successful prescription to mobilize the millennial vote.

Innovative new recess program at Bruderheim School borrowed from Finland JOHN MATHER A new take on student recesses at Bruderheim School is being hailed as innovative. The students get four 15-minutes breaks during the school day and have no more than one hour of instruction in between each break. The change is based on a Finnish style of learning with the goal of maximizing student focus in the classroom. “Research shows students benefit from getting up at regular intervals and elevating their heart rates,” said Bruderheim principal Paul McKay. “It improves their ability to remain focused while in class, and makes them more receptive to information.” He adds he started discussing the recess program with teachers last spring and then implemented it at the start of the school year this fall. The students receive an hour of classroom instruction in the mornings to start the day followed by something called instructional recess. It is somewhere between a gym class and a traditional recess
where teachers lead classes in wellness games and activities. The beauty of the program, he adds, is it can be held indoors in either the gym or classrooms if inclement weather keeps recess indoors. “We’re now facing a few challenges with the colder weather but we planned for that and there is lots for the kids to do. The remaining recess breaks, which follow additional one-hour classroom sessions, don’t have direct teacher involvement, but McKay reports students often carry on the skill-building games introduced earlier in the day. McKay adds teachers are reporting positive changes among the students. “The best measure of success,” said McKay. “Is that so far we have a happy, and healthy stu-

dent body. We’ve worked hard to give the students what they needed to succeed and to take away the excuses they might have for not participating fully in class.” He states he discovered the idea through an educational newsletter written by one of the provinces lead education writers. “The Finnish model of education is studied around the world,” he said. “I took some of what I saw and put it together with help from my staff.” He adds the program has had complete buy-in from the students who are more efficient in moving to different classes, getting in and out of the building quickly, and the students, “Have been really fantastic in this.” “I never met a kid who didn’t want more recess.”

Lamont ASB meets, deals with Ag. issues MAUREEN SULLIVAN After a bit of a break the ASB met on Nov. 9 to review projects and plan for the future. The board passed the minutes from the last meeting held on Aug. 1. Once again in business arising is discussion of drainage issues. Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniak said that in regards to the Yadlowski and Hrudy Drainage issues that they are still waiting for Alberta Environment to respond to previous requests for recommendations. Sunland Drainage, the two culverts on RR160 are being cleaned with the mini hoe, as the ditch needs to be cleaned and the silt hauled away. Acting CAO Stephen Hill will sit down with the new Public Works Manger in the near future and discuss current case file numbers and where they are at currently. Deputy Reeve Roy Anaka made a motion that a letter be sent to the landowners whose land is involved in the drainage issue. An update was given on the Sunland and Serediak Drainage. Approximately 4 years ago, the county cut a channel up the river in this area. There has been a request for brushing of the channel from a landowner and a concern over the height of the culvert. The height of the culvert will not be changed, the county will clean culverts but will not be channelling or filling in until the drainage issues north of 58 is resolved. A letter will be sent to landowners in the area. Reeve Dave Diduck said there is a need for an overall plan of water drainage in the county and it should work backward from the rivers. There was a video presentation from Markus Weber of
Landview Systems, in regards to Drones. He discussed what other counties in the area are using drones for, the various capabilities and costs of drones. The ability to be used by various departments in the county, from seeing where drainage issues are, to being used by emergency services to fight fires. The board will look into the matter further. The policy for 6504 Hay permits for county right of ways, will be updated going forward. Of concern is the amount of land allowed in a permit and the time frame allowed. Councillor Woitas made a motion to make the changes and bring the policy back at the next meeting. A discussion was had of the plant “Himalyan Balsam” which is listed as a noxious weed on the Weed Control Act. Several cases were found in Lamont County over the summer by the Lamont County Weed Inspectors. Many of the cases were severe with the fast spreading plant having the ability to move through waterways on to neighbouring land. There has been resistance faced by landowners who initially bought the plant from a greenhouse as an ornamental that has now escaped their gardens. The county staff would like to create a bounty program for the removal of this invasive weed where they work with the landowners to provide incentives to remove the plant. This was approved and added to the 2019 budget. Staff is also working with local greenhouses to make sure that new plants brought in to sell are not invasive in Lamont County. Councillor Woldanski made a motion to direct administration to request inclusion in the Government of Canada
Livestock Tax Deferral Provision. If approved this will allow farmers who sell part of their breeding herd due to drought or flooding to defer a portion of sale proceeds to a following year. Deputy Reeve Anaka moved that the 2018 Poster contest be divided into two categories. Category one would encompass grades 1-3 and Category two would encompass grades 5-6. This would enhance fairness as past winners seem to be from grades 5-6. Each category would have first, second and third prize. Councillor Woldanski made a motion that ASB direct administration to establish a working relationship with the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance and Cows and Fish to learn about and participate in any local workshops for the community in regards to water workshops. Reports of spraying, weed inspections and insect inspections, done this summer were provided to the ASB. Beaver Control and water course maintenance has started, 36 beavers have been trapped and 15 beaver damns were removed.

SNOWBOUND COMBINES The early snowfall in September caused many combines to become snowbound in the fields preventing farmers from getting crops off. When the weather cleared dryers had to be used, and fuel costs rocketed. Lamont County FCSS will host a “Stress on the Farm” session Nov. 16, to keep farmers informed of programs and outlets to deal with stress of running a farm operation.
Lamont Community Fair & Perogy Festival On November 5, 2018 the Lamont Community Fair & Perogy Festival Committee held a meeting to discuss plans for the upcoming year. After long deliberation the committee regretfully announces that the fair will not run in 2019. This decision was not easy. However, due to lack of volunteers and participation the cancellation of the fair was the only solution. The Committee enjoyed hosting the event for the community over the past 4 years and would like to thank everyone for their support. Without the efforts of the past volunteers, it would not have been the success it was.

Successful recruitment creates surge of firefighters at Bruderheim Fire Department JOHN MATHER Bruderheim District Fire Chief Dave Calder gave town council an update on how the department is doing on Nov. 7 at the regular council meeting. He reported to council Lamont County has cut the number of paid fire practices across the County. “Because of the minimum wage implications, we’ve had our practices cut back,” he explained. “We used to practice every Tuesday of the month but now we’re down to two a month on the first and third Tuesday.” He added all fire calls are also paid. Councillor Judy Schuler wondered whether the changes would affect the firefighters attending practice, due to shift work. Calder admitted one firefighter was affected. “We had one we hardly see one at all now. It hasn’t had a huge impact, but it has had an impact.”
But, he added, there has been an influx of new firefighters signing up to join the department. He said there have been seven new members in the past month. “I’m glad to see people are interested and coming forward,” he said. “You don’t need any training, because we provide all of that.” The department now sits at 13 to 15 members without the additional seven, he reported. “We’ve got some good people,” he said. He added the fitness training the department goes through is fully sanctioned by the County. “They go five nights a week with the fitness programs,“ he said. “They only go for an hour a night sometimes wearing full equipment and sometimes not.” “They go at it pretty hard.” When questioned by Schuler, Calder said about 80 per cent of the department is female. He told council the
department’s 1001 series of standard training had twelve courses which took the firefighters from basic recruit to full fledged firefighter. Calder added they try to have the courses completed in two years. Some of the course include first aid, CPR, salvage and overhaul, dangerous goods training, live fires, WHIMS, class A and gas fires. “Our courses cover all of it,” he said. “It’s a week long or weekend course. All the material is covered during the weekend courses.” As council ponders the 2019 budget, Calder
explained the courses the department members had to cover during 2018 to maintain its certification. He reported on firefighting equipment stationed in Bruderheim and told council the department had three different types of foam for fighting class A fires, or chemical fires. “We carry quite a bit of foam in the hall,” he said. He added with the compressed air systems on the trucks, the foams could be made to look like anything from dish soap to shaving cream in density. Calder said the depart-
ment had responded to 13 alarm calls during the past year. He said those generally would be a monitor call which sounds alarms when triggered, adding it was not a large number of calls on an annual basis. He added there were 8 motor vehicle accidents, 11 medical first responses and 26 fires, a gas leak and a citizen’s assist that the department responded to. He added those 26 fires included the wildfires north of Bruderheim in the spring. He emphasized the department was out more than 26
days fighting those. He added when faced with gas or electrical fires, the department won’t spray water until the utility companies have been out to shut off and make sure the situation is safe. He added some of the rookies on the department had received a chance to get some extra hose time recently by wetting down the outdoor skating rink for the season. Mayor Karl Hauch thanked the chief for his presentation adding it was great to hear there were many new members signing up.

Bruderheim and neighbours collaborate on climate change study JOHN MATHER Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood was on hand in Bruderheim Nov. 1 to present a cheque to the town for a new regional climate change initiative. Bruderheim created a unique regional partnership with both Lamont and Gibbons to begin the initiative that will help prepare for the effects of climate change such as flooding, and potential impacts on infrastructure. “A regional climate change adaptation plan is a great opportunity for inter-municipal collaboration,” said Bruderheim’s mayor Karl Hauch. Through the Alberta Community Partnership the town was able to fund the project and Littlewood turned over a cheque for $34,000. The creation of the initiative dates back to 2016 when Bruderheim was among a handful of communities selected to take
part in the Climate Resilience Express program, said Jill Yanch, Bruderheim’s Outreach and Communication Specialist, who is heading the regional adaptation project. After being selected in the original program, the All One Sky Foundation held a climate change adaptation workshop in the town and Bruderheim was provided with a climate resilience action plan. “We really wanted to build on this plan and felt partnering with our neighbours was a critical step in doing that,” said Yanch. ”Our first few meetings have proven the leadership of Lamont and Gibbons is very forward thinking and ready to take on the challenge along with Bruderheim.” The partnership, she added works because the communities are all of similar size and located in the Alberta Industrial Heartland. Through co-operation it
is hoped to uncover common risks and vulnerabilities and then allow the partners to share knowledge and resources. “Climate change adaptation is very different for small communities in comparison to cities where much of the attention is currently focused,” explained Yanch. “Through this project, we will get a clearer picture of what it will mean for small towns.” The project, which is slated for completion by fall of 2019, will result in a regional climate change adaptation plan and a variety if other tools to help the partners spread awareness of the issues that will most affect them. “Bruderheim is very grateful for this funding opportunity,” added Hauch, at the presentation. “Having strong relationships with our neighbours is very important to us.”
Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood presented Bruderheim mayor Karl Hauch and others with a cheque for $34,000 to fund a collaborative climate change adaptation plan. On hand to receive the cheque were: left to right: Bruderheim Deputy Mayor, Pat Lee; Gibbons Deputy Mayor, Loraine Berry; MLA Littlewood; Mayor Hauch; and Jill Yanch, Bruderheim’s Outreach and Communications Specialist. The presentation took place Nov. 1.

14 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, November 14, 2018
Program wants farmers to discuss stress JOHN MATHER There’s no doubt it’s been a tough year for farmers. Wet flooded fields in the spring delayed planting and snow in September has delayed harvest and damaged crops. In Lamont, these are issues that have caused the Lamont County Family and Community Support Services to offer a seminar titled “Stress On the Farm” and subtitled, ‘Tough Enough to Talk About It.’ The hour-long presentation will be held at the Lamont Hall from noon to 2 p.m. Nov. 16. According to Darlene Onushko, with Lamont County FCSS the main speaker will be Neil Harris, Addiction and Mental Health Promotion Facilitator,
Men at Risk Program, with Alberta Health. “We’re holding it now because of the unpleasantness of the season,” she said. “We want to make sure our farmers are OK and that they know there is help out there for them if they’re feeling stressed.” Onushko added there have been no reported issues in the County but FCSS wanted to be sure there weren’t any – to make sure the farmers were aware of programs and services available to assist them. There will be a light lunch served during the session. Onushko has no idea how many might show up at the meeting, but registration is required for attendees. “We’re just putting the word out and we’ll see

who turns up,” she said. Harris had put on a similar session earlier this year at the Farm Safety Workshop held in St. Michael in February. “Within a one-hour presentation, we’ll be talking about recognizing the signs of stress and depression – the feeling of being overwhelmed or burnout and recognizing what to watch for,” said Harris. “Then we’ll discuss the signs to watch for and how to get those in jeopardy some help.” “Hopefully the presentation will give the audience some of those tips.” He added he has a power point presentation and video with people from farm backgrounds speaking of their own experiences with stress issues and how they coped with it.
Harris said he’d heard from farmers in his area that were feeling pretty anxious about getting the crop off this year. “They were saying it’s the third year in a row and the costs of drying the crop were going up.
There is some stress out there.” He adds he’s had more requests for his presentation from around the province this fall because more farmers are being impacted. “Some people are look-
ing for how to get information out to the farmers, including even a podcast where farmers could listen while they’re in their tractors,” said Best. “I think it’s a great idea and something we’ll look into it.”

Lock it or lose it
MAUREEN SULLIVAN As the weather cools, auto theft heats up. In 2017 the middle of October had the most car thefts reported across Alberta according to the RCMP. Members of Heartland Citizens on Patrol and the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP were out Saturday, Oct. 20, in Bruderheim to be proactive in preventing car thefts in the area. They patrolled the streets in Bruderheim and Fort Saskatchewan for their Lock it or Lose it Campaign. RCMP members and volunteers distributed crime prevention information and scanned the streets to identify vehicles that were left unlocked, left running unattended or contained valuables within view. "Auto theft and theft from motor vehicles are not only an inconvenience to the owner, it’s also a public safety issue. Criminals use stolen vehicles to commit more property crime. They are
also often involved in collisions and other cases of dangerous driving. Simply locking your car has a major impact on keeping everyone else safe," said Inspector Mike McCauley, Officer in Charge, Fort Saskatchewan RCMP, in a press release. During the day zero vehicles were found with windows open or keys in the ignition, or left running. Sixty vehicles were found to have valuables inside and 37 vehicles had electronics in plain view. To protect your vehicles and belongings the RCMP offer the following tips. Never leave your vehicle running while unattended and always park in well-lit areas. When parking your car, always close the windows and lock the doors. Put valuables and packages in the trunk where they are out of sight. Don't keep your garage door opener in your car, this could give thieves easy access to your house. Don't keep

vehicle registrations and other ID in your vehicles, they are used to steal your identity. According to Wayne Olechow from Heartland Citizens on Patrol, "with this and other initiatives, our objective is to help citizens develop good crime prevention habits.
We all play a role in keeping our communities safe. Locking your car and putting valuables in the trunk will help deter criminals from even attempting to steal your vehicles, valuables or identification documents found inside."
