Church Christmas project a success even with protocols in place BY JANA SEMENIUK Amid COVID restrictions, the Bruderheim Community Church held their annual shoe box stuffing day Nov. 1 for Operation Christmas Child. For at least the past 16 years, the congregation has participated in Operation Christmas Child; a campaign where volunteers fill a shoebox with needed items which will be distributed to children living in desperate situations around the world. The campaign is
facilitated through the Christian organization Samaritan’s Purse in their Operation Christmas Child campaign. While some churches distribute empty shoeboxes for volunteers to bring back filled with items, the Community Church has adopted their own way of filling the boxes which, in previous years, has included a lunch and a group participation effort to see the boxes get filled. With just a few proce-
dure changes, including asking people to bring their own bagged lunches, Pastor Wayne Larsen said the event was still a success. “We followed all the guidelines,” he said. “We collected everything very carefully.” Larsen added that the planning was a bit challenging this year. “We really had to figure out how we were going to do it, or will we be able to do it. We figured out yes, we can,” he said.
Larsen said that the church was still able to provide a large number of filled shoeboxes this year. “I think we have already filled about 70 boxes which seems to be on par with previ- Volunteers at Bruderheim Community Church participate in ous years,” he shoe box filling day on Nov. 1. said. “Our volunteers purSaskatchewan where after having our lunch.” chase all of the items that Once filled, the boxes they will await national are used to fill the boxes are taken to a participat- pick up. and together we fill them ing church in Fort
Some Bruderheim residents went all out to decorate their homes for Halloween. Allan Murphy completed the look of his home with a hearse parked on the lawn, while others incorporated large terrifying blow up displays.
This November marks the 60th anniversary of the tragic Chipman school bus/train collision that took the lives of 17 Lamont School students. The Lamont Leader will be preparing a special section in tribute to this anniversary, which will be published in our November 25 issue.

Opinion Election results foreshadow interesting times ahead for Alberta BY JOHN MATHER Two provincial elections happened last week and the results will have impacts on Alberta for different reasons. In B.C., voters gave a majority to John Horgan’s NDP removing the green stain and relegating them back to the rear of the members benches in Victoria. The Greens had conspired with Horgan’s minority NDP government following the last election and the three persons running the Greens swayed policy while holding the balance of power. That’s done now, but it still remains to be seen how the Horgan socialists will act towards Alberta and the prospects of this province getting some oil to west coast ports through the Trans Mountain Pipeline. In Saskatchewan the election saw Scott Moe’s Saskatchewan Party returned with a majority and the NDP leader defeated in his own riding. But it was the third place finish of the Buffalo Party that should make the Alberta UCP and the federal Conservatives sit up and take note. Formed out of the ashes of the Saskatchewan Wexit Party in June, the Buffalo Party ran only 17 candidates, won no seats, but placed second in four ridings. They also finished third in the popular vote trailing the Saskatchewan Party and NDP, but ahead of the Greens. Their message is to separate from Canada. I doubt that will happen, but they have a strong message, which the Saskatchewan Party is now going to have to listen to as Moe deals with the Ottawa cabal of Justin Trudeau. In Alberta, the provincial Wexit joined the Alberta Independence Party which did garner some votes in the last provincial election, and morphed into the Wildrose Independence Party. With discontent in the UCP ascending, and the disaster of the NDP government still fresh in Alberta voters' memories, the Wildrose Independence Party will fight it out with the Alberta Party to live off a large chunk of free form votes that will probably be up for grabs in the next provincial election. Continued
Continued The Alberta Party, a centrist party, is largely made up of former Progressive Conservative Party members who were on the progressive side of the party. They weren’t pleased when Jason Kenney steamrolled to the leadership and merged the Wildrose and PCs into the United Conservatives. There was no place for their rational style of thinking in that group. The problem facing them is they aren’t getting any press right now. I still think the Alberta Party has potential, but they need to do a better sell job to the public and find ways to increase their public profile.
The Wildrose Independence Party will be hampered by the Wildrose moniker I believe. And they have yet to present a set in stone policy book on what they plan to do in a drive to separation. But they can keep Jason Kenney’s feet to the issues as he tries to deal with Ottawa. He has got the results of the Fair Deal Panel, but will he act on any of that? Federally, the Wexit Party has evolved into the Maverick Party and it may pose a serious threat to the western wing of the Conservative Party. Now, led by former Harper Conservative MP Jay Hill, it is also endorsed by several other former conservative and reform
Members of Parliament. The Mavericks could split the vote in the west, much to the joy of the Liberals and the shame of the Conservatives. What they need to do is clearly state that any move to separation would be a last resort issue. They really want to speak to Ottawa while holding a big stick in their hands, much like Quebec has done for years. You don’t need to separate to get benefits for your province but you do need to be sincere in your threat to go down that road. Quebec has done this well. What the west needs now is a party with strong leadership prepared to take a similar stance.

FROM WHERE I SIT: More Interesting
BY HAZEL ANAKA When Hilary was a little kid she was afraid of dogs. I don’t recall any traumatic event that could’ve led to the problem but a large, rambunctious dog could easily overwhelm a small person. Or maybe the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I’m not a dog person and must have been scared at some point in my childhood. As was far more common back in the day, if a kid like me had a fear of some sort, the parents took her to a “Baba.” She was typically an older Ukrainian woman with healing
powers. Through a mysterious process involving pouring molten wax onto water in a basin, she was able to identify the fear. Her prayers and process were often enough to cure the child. I suppose it helped me. Though these Babas have become scarce, I do remember taking Hilary to a woman in Mundare to help her with her fear of dogs. Part two of our strategy (probably Roy’s idea) was to get her a dog. I agreed as long as he was an ‘outside farm’ dog. When the potential seller arrived with a tiny, shorthaired dog complete with dog bed, plush toy, shampoo and more, I was sadly out-numbered and Buddy joined our family. Fast-forward to 2020. The Covid restrictions, Hilary’s home-based communications company, and a turning inward of activities were the perfect storm that led to her search for a dog. She is one determined young woman. Over the past few months, she tried to
talk us into getting a dog. When that failed, she broached the idea of coparenting with us. When that too failed, she began her online search for a dog. She had her heart set on a French bulldog. I felt their flat, nose-less faces are some that only a mother could love. Breathing issues are part and parcel of that breed. Hilary began following Frenchies on Instagram and communicating with their owners. Those conversations and all the research she did led her to some topnotch breeders. Like human adoptive parents, her hopes were dashed more than once. But all that changed on Halloween when she brought her little tenweek-old pooch home. It was a mad dash buying all the accoutrements she needed: a kennel, dog bed, blanket, toys, puppy food, harness, leash, and saline rinse for a bit of eye redness. The breeder also had her dog’s spine x-rayed because some animals have a vertebrae prob-
Diduck and Anaka reelected Reeve and Deputy Reeve for Lamont County BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County councillors met Oct. 28 for the first organizational meeting for the final term of this council. The first order of business was the election and appointment of a new reeve and deputy reeve. Reeve David Diduck and Deputy Reeve Roy Anaka were both returned to the positions they have held for the past year. Ward one councillor Daniel Warawa will join the Reeve and Deputy Reeve on the Emergency Management Advisory Committee for a term which will end on Oct. 21, 2021. The Intermunicipal Subdivision and Development Appeal Board was selected for a four year term which will end Dec. 31, 2024. Those members are:
Jerry Melnyk, David Thomas, Stuart Hawthorne, Sylvia Holowach, Allison Cossey, Heather Tait, and Candace Bryks. The Agricultural Appeal Board was also appointed for a one-year term ending Oct. 31, 2021. Its members are: Kim Leitch, Sylvia
Holowach, and Candace Bryks. No other appointments were made during the Oct., 28 meeting. The council will now advertise for remaining committee and board vacancies and then suitable candidates will be named.
ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM THE MEDICAL CLINIC OF DR. JAIME WAGAN NAMIT LAMONT, ALBERTA. I am retiring effective January 1, 2021. Mr. Shahad Bharmal, the CEO of the Lamont Health Care Centre has agreed to be the interim custodian of the patients chart in my clinic until a new physician takes over my practice.

lem. This dog’s back is good. Her parents are pure-bred and the little one’s temperament is sweet. I found it astounding that pet owners can buy health insurance for their dog. An exam by a veterinarian looks for soundness and any pre-existing conditions that would preclude coverage. Like new grandparents, we had to drive in to see the new baby. Long before Hilary knew when or if she’d get a dog, we started batting around name ideas. Back in the day dogs had names like Sporty,
Buddy, Patches, Rex, Dino. Somewhere along the way, the names turned human. I once performed a marriage with a canine ring-bearer named Phil. Hilary’s friends just added George to their family. So, I wasn’t totally shocked when she started channelling the Golden Girls characters for old-fashioned girl names. Shouldn’t she get a Ukrainian name, I asked. We went down that rabbit hole and came up with a short-list of possibilities. None of them resonated, so Gertie it is. Gertie. I don’t
get it, but Gertie it is. On her recent walks, she’s been a hit with everyone she’s met. She’s not allowed to interact with other dogs until her next set of vaccinations. Already this little seven-pounder with her short legs, solid body, flat face and over-sized ears is worming her way into our hearts. We’re returning Monday with tools and supplies to secure Hilary’s back yard and deck because like all good grandparents, we believe safety first. Life just got more interesting for all of us, from where I sit.

Large crowd witnesses fire extrication demo in Bruderheim BY JANA SEMENIUK When the Bruderheim and Lamont fire departments held a vehicle extrication demonstration in Bruderheim on Oct. 27 they left no detail to chance. The event showcased a live demonstration where a vehicle accident was staged to include victims who required extrication from a smashed-up car by emergency crews. Included in the planning were actors, injury depicting makeup, smashed up vehicles on the road and emergency personnel. Bruderheim fire department Captain Correen Hosack said the demonstration was a huge success. “We felt a lot of our new firefighters on the team could use some practice. So, we’ve been practicing for the past nine weeks leading up to this event,” she said. “Having the live actors in this demo enhanced the experience for the firefighters. It’s different when you see someone with makeup on looking injured and not responding. It made a huge difference.” Hosack added that the event was blessed to
have the support and help of the neighbouring Lamont fire fighting team. “The Lamont team is very strong in their vehicle extrication skills,” she said. Hosack said the event took weeks of planning and relied on donations as well as volunteer services. “We had Kenzi Sparling, a professional make-up artist volunteer to do the make up for the actors and Aldon Auto donated 16 cars over the past two months for us to cut up,” she added. Actors included regional fire chief Shayne Milliken’s wife Stephanie who played the passenger in the crashed vehicle, former Bruderheim fire chief Dave Calder who played an impaired, belligerent driver who caused the accident, as well as 10year-old Ian Lawrence, son of Bruderheim Lieutenant Shawn Lawrence, who played a child that had extricated himself from the smashed-up vehicle before emergency crews arrived. “We started off with firefighters who were brand new and didn’t
know how to cut glass or anything. At the end of the 9-weeks they are very proficient in their vehicle extrication skills now,” said Hosack. In addition to the extensive details of the demo, large crowds gathered in spite of the chilly weather. “I wasn’t expecting it to turn out to be such a big event. I was blown away with how many people were there. We have so much support from the community,” said Hosack. “We got a negative comment (on fb) here and there but 99 percent of the time people have our back. I was surprised they stayed to the bitter end!” Although Hosack said she was too busy to pay much attention to what the crowd was doing, she did receive a compliment from regional fire chief Shayne Milliken once all was said and done. “Our regional chief Shayne Milliken came and basically said that it was one of the best scenarios he has ever seen and it will be heard to top,” she said. “I told him ‘challenge accepted’.”

Andrew Library set to reopen in school BY JOHN MATHER The community public library located in the Andrew School is set to reopen. Andrew Library Board chairman Barb Leppek
said the board had met with the principal of the school last week and it was decided if all Covid19 protocols were followed the library could reopen.

community and it should reopened,” said Leppek. The library will reopen beginning Nov. 16, but it will have modified hours opening on Monday from 1 to 5 p.m.
WITCHY WOMAN Chipman saw a witch, also known as Collette McBride, swoop in to watch over a table of treats outside the Chipman Firehall on Oct. 31.

8 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, November 4, 2020
Lamont veteran was part of world building events Pullishy reflects on distinguished military career as Remembrance Day approaches of Alberta when he was 22. “During my second year in pre-med, I was on the children’s ward and I caught every darn disease I’ve never had before. I caught mumps and was supposed to be sterile forever!” he said with a smile. Pullishy also remembers how volunteering was a good way to learn. “During the second year I also volunteered to be on the roster for babies. I was great for volunteering because you learn so much. If women come in at 2 a.m. I would get called instead of the doctor. I delivered 22 babies and it’s a darn good thing I was a farm kid and knew how to pull calves,” he laughed. Then, Pullishy said he got the call he had been waiting for; to work on the Avro Arrow. “I had put my name in before med school to work on the Avro Arrow. They looked at your qualifications and to see if you had anything in that noggin of yours on top of your shoulders. If you had enough background, they would call you in. So, I got accepted,” he said. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia the Avro Arrow was a supersonic interceptor jet aircraft designed and built in the 1950s by A.V. Roe Canada (Avro). The Arrow was one of the most advanced aircraft of its era, helping to establish Canada as a world leader in scientific research and development. The passage of time has not dampened Pullishy’s appreciation for the magnitude of the Arrow. “I was on the Arrow project for three years. We built the first one in ‘57. We built an airplane that was 50 to 60 years ahead of its time in terms of altitude and speed. The day the 201, the first Avro Aircraft, rolled out of the hanger, we had to use the biggest engines America had because our Iroquois engines were not ready yet. So, the first five (Arrows) flew with the biggest engines America had. They were meant to be interceptors during the cold war. These aircraft were mach 4 or 5 or a mach 6 with the Iroquois engines. Unheard of,” he said. Continued on Page 9
BY JANA SEMENIUK Lamont resident and retired Canadian Air Force group captain pilot/engineer Walter Pullishy, 91, will be spending a quiet Remembrance Day at home with his wife of 67 years, Geraldine, whom he affectionately calls ‘Dee’, and their fifth child of 10, Wendy. With his colourful military career behind him, which includes his work on the Avro Arrow, as well as the U.S. Apollo space program, Pullishy said he is no longer interested in partaking in ceremonies. “I have no plans for Remembrance Day,” he said. “It’s not really important to me anymore.” Although Pullishy grew up on a farm near Star, Alta., as a young man he had no interest in becoming a farmer. “On the farm there was lots to eat, a hell of a lot of work, but there was no money,” he said. “So, I decided I wasn’t going to be a farmer and instead I took electronic engineering in school. I graduated in 1952 with a ticket.” Pullishy admits to having a competitive nature, which he attributes in part to being labeled by his peers growing

Pullishy worked on Avro Arrow for three years These aircraft were a mach 4, 5 or 6 with Iroquois engines - “unheard of ” Continued from Page 8 Pullishy then explained how the Arrows were tested. “We got the agreement with the American air force that we could use their wind tunnels, because ours weren’t good enough. We used their wind tunnels on condition that they got all the technical data. That’s all they were interested in. They assigned me to do the wind tunnel work. That’s a steep learning curve because we are talking super sonic aircraft. There wasn’t any that could fly super sonic at that time. But we had to figure out how to build the aircraft to get the most out of them. I ended up most of my time in Yankee land doing all kinds of tests with these aircraft,” he said.
“
It got sold for $6.25 per pound to a salvage guy for scrap. They were on the runway - Pullishy
”
Pullishy included that the first Arrow with the Iroquois engine was finally ready to go, but by this time the government had a different plan in mind. “The number six aircraft came out with the Iroquois engine but it never flew. It got sold for $6.25 per pound to a salvage guy for scrap. They were on the runway,” he said. “So that was the end of the Arrow.” According to history museum.ca, on Feb. 20, 1959, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker cancelled the Avro CF-105 Arrow jet-fighter interceptor program due to the Arrow's mounting costs, technical delays and government budget reductions. Pullishy then explained that he was already re-assigned to Boeing to look into the Arrow’s replacement; the Bomarc missile. According to Canadian Encyclopedia, the Bomarc missile was a surface-to-air guided missile, with a range of 640 km, that would be an effective replacement for the manned interceptor Avro Arrow. “I was on the team that checked out the Bomarc missile. We fired them off the coast of Florida,” he said. Pullishy included his thoughts about the Bomarc. “They were a dog that couldn’t hunt. They would have been a little bit more effective if they had an atomic head on them. But Canada wasn’t about to do that,” he said. Pullishy added that another opportunity for him was just on the horizon. “Boeing used to farm me out because by now I had a masters in computers as well as other qualifications. I was on the Apollo space project initially but got nixed because I was Canadian,” he said. “Then the White House called Boeing looking for consultants with security clearance and that’s how I

finally got in.” Pullishy explained that he would not be allowed to fly. “Only Americans could fly at that time and I was Canadian,” he said. “Although they wanted to make me American but I refused. They wanted me to say goodbye to Canada forever. I said forget it.” Pullishy added that his role on Apollo was one of problem solver. “Kennedy put me in a spot where if a problem developed in any area, I would get on it,” he said. Pullishy explained witnessing one notable incident with astronaut Neil Armstrong prior to Armstrong’s momentous moon landing. “Edwards Air Force Base is where Armstrong practiced landing in the moon lander. I had just finished a mission on an X-15 and we watched him (Armstrong) creeping down in the lander and then all of a sudden, he ejected and he wasn’t going straight up he went at a 45-degree angle and then the unit just exploded. If he had waited a second or two later, he would have been dead. It was very close,” he said. Pullishy also said he had memorable moments with the Kennedy family. “Jackie was a great lady. Kennedy was in the Navy, senior service, and I was in the air force, junior service, so he would say ‘junior service guy’ to me. I reminded him that if we both had on our monkey suits, and we were passing each other in the street I would be returning his salute because I was a senior. He was a left-tenant; two bars, and I was a group captain, four bars,” he said with a laugh. “He was about nine years older than me as I recall. A great guy trying to do great things for the people.” While Pullishy was enjoying the challenges of the Apollo project, once the moon landing happened in 1969, he felt his time on the project was done. “At the time, my dad was having trouble keeping the farm up,” he said. “He told me that if I didn’t want to come and take over the farm, he was going to sell it in an auction. I knew it would break his heart to sell it, so I decided to take it over.” Pullishy moved his family onto the farm and never looked back. One thing Pullishy said always impressed him over the course of his career was the women engineers. “They are so detailed they don’t miss a damn thing. They just did a hell of a lot of physics and math,” he said. When asked what he felt his greatest life accomplishments were, Pullishy didn’t hesitate. “We raised nine great kids,” he said. “Not one of them went to jail.”

New site provides real time air quality results
BY JOHN MATHER The Fort Saskatchewan Air Partnership has launched a new Live Air Quality Data site. The site features an interactive map which lets users see hourly
updated air quality measurements in real time from any of the Partnership’s 10 air monitoring stations, along with monthly results from its 16 passive monitors.
“The new version is fast and easy to use,” reported the FAP in a release. “The interactive map provides pop-up legends showing the substances that each of FAP’s continuous sta-
tions and passive sites monitor.” Users, it went on, can see daily, weekly, or monthly results from specific locations they select for up to three months prior to the current date. If a passive monitor is selected results can be viewed from the past year on a monthly basis. The Fort Air Partnership monitors 19 substances in the local Airshed. Thirteen of those have Alberta Ambient Air Quality objectives. Continuous air monitoring stations also track several weather conditions like temperature, wind direction, wind speed, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. The Live Quality Air Data Site with the inter-
active map can be viewed at fortair.org. The Fort Air Partnership monitors air
quality in Lamont County in Bruderheim, Lamont and Elk Island National Park.

MEMORIAL MEMORIAL In Loving Memory of Angella Johnston November 9, 2015 We thought of you today, But that is nothing new. We thought of you yesterday, And days before that, too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. All we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, From which we never part. God has you in His loving arms, We have you in our hearts. Love Always, Fred, Ken, Lorraine, Grandchildren, and Greatgrandchildren. 45p ________________________ NOTICES NOTICES Get up to $10,000 from the CANADA REVENUE AGENCY in 1-2 weeks.
