No-shows disappointing to favourite Imcumbent MP wonders how important riding is to parties with late-entry candidates and forum no-shows BY JOHN MATHER Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs is frustrated by the lack of candidates turning out at the all candidate forums being held throughout the riding. “I’m focussed on demonstrating that I don’t take anything for granted,” she said during an interview. “I’m working hard on this campaign just like I have been working hard for Lakeland residents for the past four years. “But what bothers me is if the other parties took so long to put candidates in place and then they aren’t showing up to these forums and not working for any votes, then where does Lakeland really rank for their party in any sort of priority?” She adds she thinks there should be the opportuni-
ty for area residents to see viable alternatives and there should be a good debate on the issues. She adds every candidate should be wanting to get out and put their ideas into the community so they can be debated. So far in several debates – one in Smoky Lake was cancelled because of a lack of committed candidates; in Vegreville, three candidates Stubbs, Alain Houle of the People’s Party of Canada, and Mark Watson of the Liberal Party appeared. In Bonnyville those three were joined by Roberta Marie Graham with the Veterans Coalition Party of Canada. Stubbs said another forum she was scheduled to attend would only have three to debate in Lloydminster.
Many Albertans don’t feel welcome in Canada Incumbent surprised by discontent in Lakeland BY JOHN MATHER As she campaigns throughout the Lakeland constutiency, incumbent Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs is surprised how much she’s hearing about national unity on doorsteps. “I’m really surprised at how much I’m hearing about how discontented our residents are and how they don’t feel welcome in their own country,” she said as she campaigned in Lamont on Oct. 12. “The reaction of Albertans at least to me is if Trudeau (Primie Minister Justin) wins again with a majority government then he’ll feel all his policies have been vindicated and he’ll just carry on with little regard for jobs in the west. “He has policies that are bad for western Canada and Alberta and if he’s re-elected he’ll be emboldened to carry on with them.” She said she’s talked about divisive policies and asked her fellow MP’s to recognized the contributions of western Canadians. “They just don’t seem to care and it bothers me the Liberals don’t seem to understand the depth of the problem of national unity here in Alberta. It’s a complete disregard of leadership on his part.”
Lakeland conservative MP Shannon Stubbs puts one of her lawn signs in the ground at a Lamont home as she door knocked in the Edna neighbourhood on Oct. 12. Stubbs said she was well received at the doors in the community. She said she is surprised how much she is hearing talk of separation and national unity as she campaigns through her riding in this election. Voting day is Oct, 21.
She said during her term as MP she’s worked on try speaking on oil and gas, she been to many parts the rural crime file, she accepted amendment from of the maritimes. “What strikes me is that the people aren’t reflecting other parties, but the motion she had proposed was what the politicans are saying,” she said. dismissed by the Liberals. In the maritimes, she adds, people know others She adds she always works with other parties if who are affected by work or lack of work in the oil they can find areas of common ground. “I have that track record of working with other patch. “They know Alberta contributes to all of Canada parties and I work for the people of Lakeland.” She said she’s tried to reflect the level of anger and I find it frustrating that it’s not regular Canadians who feels this bad, but its political gameswhile she’s in Ottawa. “It’s been growing in intensity over the past few manship.” years but now it’s at an all time high. “And it’s not just coming from certain geographical areas.

Bruderheim not part of Lamont Emergency plan BY JOHN MATHER Lamont County Regional Fire Chief David Zayonce has been taking the Lamont Regional Emergency Management Partnership to the various municipalities and it is meeting with success everywhere except Bruderheim. “The aim of my meetings with the urban areas is to show what we have done, how we got there and let them know we’re talking regional co-operation,” he told County council Oct. 9. Bruderheim has not signed on to the partnership and Lamont County is disappointment by this. “The minister of Municipal Affairs has approved this and they want this co-operation so we don’t expect any problems with it,” Zayonce told council. Zayonce said the plan is 76 per cent complete and will be finished by the end of November. At that time all the municipalities will work together to go through an exercise to see how everything works and how each municipality will participate. He said he’d had great help from staff at the town of Lamont, who had helped write the final plan. After making his report, Councillor Neil Woitas immediately
asked if Bruderheim was involved. “Not whatsoever,” replied Zayonce. Quickly questions were peppered at Zayonce as to whether the County should move its firetrucks or relocate the Bruderheim firehall, which the County helped get built financially. “I guess that would be a council choice,” said Zayonce. “The whole reason behind this is that if we had something happening then I’m trying to get your fire trucks, or the town of Lamont is trying to get County fire trucks, or Mundare fire trucks.” “Let’s throw all our resources together and we have much better use of finances and responses.” He explained how well it had worked during flooding a few years ago and all the municipalities worked together. Further there would only be one person, the director of regional emergencies, who would be in charge. “It’s a win win situation for our County,” he said. With the changes to the emergency management act, Zayonce said the province wants to see municipalities move toward regional co-operation agreements. “It’s disheartening that another municipality doesn’t want to take part because everyone else is
very excited about the plan.” “I can’t quite understand why Bruderheim isn’t part of this plan,” he told council. “We have great collaboration with them and with Strathcona
“The fire department is part of Lamont County,” said Councillor Daniel Warawa. “So how can they not participate?” Diduck said if the County has a joint meeting with Bruderheim council, the question
“
Bruderheim already has a management services contract with Strathcona County and emergency management is included in that. - Patty Podoborozny
County.” Woitas, the councillor whose area includes Bruderheim, was very surprised. “I can’t believe the only town with two main rail lines with dangerous goods passing through aren’t part of it,” he said. Councillor Wayne Woldanski said, “We have a regional fire agreement with them and contributed to the fire hall.” Zayonce stated if Bruderheim needed help the County would still respond. “I think we’re pretty disappointed Bruderheim isn’t participating in this,” said Reeve David Diduck. “I’d like to see our County Manager bring this up at the next County and urban CAO’s meeting.”
”
should be asked. Bruderheim Chief Administrative Officer Patty Podoborozny said the reason boils down to money. “Bruderheim already has a management services contract with Strathcona County and emergency management is included in that,” she said. “It’s not exciting or pretty, but it the truth.” When asked if there was conflict with Bruderheim's fire appa-
ratus being supplied by Lamont yet an emergency management agreement was with a neighbouring county, she said no. “Not at all,” she replied. “Emergency management has nothing to do with emergency services. It’s totally different.” “Emergency management is about the community’s preparedness,” she added. She added that while the director of emergency management could be the fire chief, it generally is someone else. She said the agreement with Strathcona County, which has been in place for more than 20 years, included peace officer services, weed inspector services, emergency management, and CAO services.” Podoborozny is an employee of Strathcona County. She was surprised Lamont County didn’t seem aware of the agreement. “We totally support regional services and a
regional emergency management agreement, but we’re already part of one with Strathcona. What Lamont County is doing is fantastic. If we didn’t have an agreement with Strathcona we would certainly be part of the Lamont plan.” “Why would we pay for something that we’re already paying for.” she said. Podoborozny added Bruderheim takes part in many regional agreements with municipalities besides Lamont County. She said it wasn’t different from Mundare participating with Vegreville on regional recreation and Bruderheim participating with Gibbons and the town of Lamont on climate change. She added Bruderheim had an agreement with Fort Saskatchewan for usage of the Karl Maschmeyer Arena. “We have a great relationship with both Strathcona and Lamont County’s,” she said.

Lamont County elementary school were the benefactors of this year’s Lamont County Reeve’s golf tournament, along with the Lamont County Food Bank. Cheques were presented to the Andrew, Bruderheim, Lamont and Mundare School principals during the Oct. 9 council meeting. From left: Bruderheim principal Cheryl Semeniuk, division five councillor Neil Woitas, Division one councillor Daniel Warawa, Mundare principal Bill Korec, Reeve David Diduck, Lamont principal Judy Anderson, divison two councillor Wayne Woldanski, division four councillor Roy Anaka, and Andrew principal Greg Cruikshank.
Over $24,000 raised at Reeve’s Golf Tournament, county-wide lunch programs benefit BY JOHN MATHER While it was a day of fun for local golfers when Lamont County Reeve David Diduck hosted his Reeve’s golf tournament in August, the benefits have been spread to very good causes around the county. With more than 100 golfers participating, the day raised more than $24,000 and at the County council meeting, Oct. 8, the money was split between the Lamont County Food bank and the food programs at Andrew, Bruderheim, Lamont and Mundare Schools. “It was decided by council that money be split between these organizations, Reeve David Diduck said prior

to presenting the cheques. “Thanks to the sponsorship of big industry and small businesses the golf tournament raised $24,000.” Two of the schools, Andrew and Mundare received $4,500 because
they have both a breakfast and a lunch program, while Bruderheim and Lamont schools received $1,500 for their lunch programs. They have other food programs sponsored by other organizations, which was why they got
a different amount than Andrew and Mundare. Andrew school principal Greg Cruickshank said his school offers breakfast every day and lunch about once a week. “Our budget is around $3,500 a year, so that cheque covers our budg-

Opinion Will Monday’s election results finally create a Buffalo? The latest poll of Alberta’s prospective voters reported that an overwhelming majority of Albertans planned to vote for the Conservative Party of Canada in this coming Monday’s federal election. In fact this same poll suggested that there was a great likeliness that the Conservatives win all 34 federal ridings in our province. That’s not totally surprising, considering that four of the top five parties in Canada (Liberals, NDP, Bloc and Greens) plan to systematically destroy Alberta’s economy by shutting down its oil sands. So as Albertans who care about our economy and ethical oil, that really only leaves the Conservatives or newly founded Peoples Party of Canada as realistic choices. Of course some ridings will also have Libertarian, or Veterans Coalition Party to choose from as well. No matter your choice, it appears one of two things will most likely happen this coming Monday: 1) We will have a Conservative minority which will have trouble accomplishing anything teamed with a belligerent left wing coalition. 2) Liberals will form a minority government with a cooperative coalition planning to destroy Alberta’s economy for the sake of flimflamming Canadians that the end of the world is nigh because of climate change. Of course there could be other results, including an unlikely hallelujah moment for Alberta wrapped in a Conservative majority. Barring that, there is a good chance separation talk in Alberta will become a stark reality if there is another Trudeau government. As many of you are no doubt aware, Alberta was almost a part of the Province of Buffalo proposed by Sir Frederick Haultain, who was Premier of the North-West Territories in the early 1900s. In 1904 Haultain recommended part of the NWT become one large province consisting of the areas that would become Alberta and Saskatchewan. He believed this large prairie province would be able to influence things federally and proposed it be non-partisan. Unfortunately for him, Houltain decided that the capital of Buffalo should be Regina and at the time the majority of the citizens of Calgary and Edmonton disagreed. Keep in mind that in the early 20th Century, Regina and Edmonton both had populations around 2,500 while Calgary was over 4,000. Adding to his troubles, Houltain had a difficult relationship with then Liberal Prime Minister of Canada Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The PM, fearful of one large Conservative province, eventually decided to divide this proposed area of NWT into two separate provinces in 1905. That brilliant division cut the two provinces’ politics in half and allowed Central Canada to continue to dominate. Had Sir Frederick Haultain’s vision come to fruition, Buffalo would presently have a population larger than British Columbia and boast 48 seats in Monday’s election compared to BC’s 42. Buffalo would dominate Canada’s mineral wealth and agricultural production. With the extra voting clout it would be much more difficult for Federal parties like the Liberals, NDP and Greens to single out Buffalo’s oil industry and label it as an embarrassment to Canada. It would certainly be understandable if the results of this election acted like a phoenix rising from a funeral pyre and producing dreams once again of long forgotten Buffalo - this time as a separate country. Kerry Anderson
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Fate of Canada at stake in Federal election In next week’s Federal election there will be winners and losers. But as this sad campaign drags on to its inevitable conclusion it becomes more apparent the winners will be the politicians and the losers will be the Canadian people. For several weeks we have been fed works of fiction which we are are told are actual, manageable party platforms that will benefit each and every Canadian. These platitudes of golden rewards, just for our vote, are delivered in earnest, straight-faced lines by politicians who seem to have all graduated from the Herb Tarlek Jr. school of salesmanship. You know that one, if
you’re selling something it’s always good for the customer whether it has any value or not, or if there’s not even a grain of truth in what your saying about the product. As our Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs said this week in an interview, she is very concerned about the level of discontent in her riding as she knocks on doors. And she goes further to state that in her four years in the Federal government, it is not regular Canadians that she meets across the county driving this discontent, but the Federal politicians who won’t listen to the concerns everyday Canadians whether is be climate concerns, pipeline concerns, envi-
ronment concerns, or immigration concerns. The outcome of this election could possibly drive the break up of this nation, founded with such a bright future in 1867. The country, CANADA, has led the world in major scientific, human, technological and medical breakthroughs in its 150 years of existence. And yes, we even had some incredible politicians who have led us through world crisis including two world wars. Those successful politicians had one common trait. They listened to what the people were telling them. Continued on Page 5

Hockey results to be posted this winter Letter:
KERRY ANDERSON With the help of coaches, parents, and grandparents, local hockey players from three counties in Caribou Publishing newspaper areas like this one get credit for good games, victories, points and saves each week of the hockey season. Each week I look up and record scores and scorers of dozens of local hockey teams and players, both male and female. But I need your help. If I don’t have your son or daughter’s team among those recorded, I just don’t know about them. This may mean players who are playing for other teams in larger centres or players located on teams in areas outside this county. In the Beaver County area, Lamont County area and Flagstaff County areas, parents have been really cooperative in letting me know of particular websites where local hockey players participate in leagues
which post scores semiregularly. Because our print deadline is Monday, I scour these sites each Sunday evening in an attempt to get the latest scores and give scorers some credit for good games they played that particular week. Believe me, this is no easy task over three different counties in both the Zone 2 and Zone 7 districts. There are dozens of teams in dozens of leagues playing in many different age and skill levels. Some leagues and teams are more prompt than others when it comes to posting game sheets. Often it is up to the home teams to get the games into the league websites, and the parents and coaches are quite busy running around with their teams all winter long making sure these kids get the best hockey experience possible. As well, there are some hockey players likely
playing in leagues which I have no idea even exist. Before your young hockey player’s league begins this winter, please send out an email to me letting me know what website I can go on to find statistics for your local hockey player’s team. The goal is to give every hockey player boy or girl - in our areas credit for their achievements without missing a single child. But I need your help. If a local hockey player is being missed in the weekly minor hockey league write ups, please contact me - it will have been a complete oversight. Also because leagues and websites change, please send me an email letting me know for sure what league your child plays in. Send even if you think I probably know. You can email me at: kamcjm@gmail.com Have a great winter, let’s play hockey!
Fate of Canada Continued from Page 4 But in the past couple of decades listening to the people has become a discarded exercise. Oh, they’ll pay lip service to every special interest group that can be convinced to cast votes in this or that party’s direction, but after the vote have they actually acted on what they heard? Success is usually
gained by people working towards a consensus to get the solution to a specific problem. Sometimes it may not be the absolute best outcome, but it is a solution the vast majority can live with. Now political parties prefer to practice the politics of divisiveness. There is no will to work towards a consensus, even though that is what they are hearing from average Canadians who what to have a steady income, feed their families, and generally feel good about themselves. One solution might be

Assessment better prepares students for Grade one BY JANA SEMENIUK Beginning in Oct, kindergarten classes across Elk Island Public Schools will be getting a

Clean air registered in third quarter by FAP BY JOHN MATHER For the first time since 2015, the quarterly results in the area served by the Fort Air Partnership had no high or very high Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) readings. Overall, said the FAP i n a release, the air quality in and around
Alberta’s Industrial Heartland from July 1 to Sept. 30 was a low risk to health almost 100 per cent of the time. Only air monitoring stations in Fort Saskatchewan and Gibbons recorded moderate readings during the quarter. A year ago, smoke
from wildfires had caused readings during the quarter to spike into the very high zone for a few days. The FAP monitors air in the entire region of the Heartland Industrial Complex including, Bruderheim, Elk Island and a portable monitoring station in Chipman.
priorities and goals,” said Elk Island Public Schools Director of Early Learning, Ralph Sorochan. “These include promoting growth and success for all students.” Sorochan added that by teachers using the assessment early, they could find out where students sit in their development and then plan programming for those kids to make sure they are hitting their develop-
mental milestones for grade one. He added that there are five areas that are assessed including awareness of self and environment, social skills and approaches to learning, cognitive skills, language and communication and physical development. “Through the activities they already do in their regular classroom, teachers will be able to assess the various areas,” said
Sorochan. The EYE-TA assessment tool has been used by other school boards but is new this year for EIPS. According to early years evauation.com, “Research suggests that classroom-based assessment positively affects student outcomes when it is frequent, formative, and instructionally relevant.”

Lamont Leader’s 2019 Salute to Firefighters
Clarke goes from junior firefighter to fire chief BY JANA SEMENIUK Leslie Clarke, 27, started on the Bruderheim junior fire department in town 11 years ago. She worked her way up to firefighter and this past April was promoted to Bruderheim’s newest fire chief. “At the time I joined, I was babysitting quite a bit for the deputy chief. I was walking past the firefighters when they were doing their driver operator pump force and they asked me if I wanted to come down on Tuesdays to join the new junior program - so I did,” said Clarke. “They just started the program a month before.” “And we haven’t gotten rid of her!,” deputy chief Al Klassen added playfully. Klassen said the junior fire fighter program is still running in town. In 2013 Bruderheim was honoured with a
Municipal Excellence Award for small towns for the junior firefighter program. “The junior program is for ages 16 – 18. They come to practices, do all of our training, and take all of our courses. They just can’t respond to calls,” said Klassen. “Once they turn 18, they can become a full member if they choose.” Clarke added that only two members of the fire team were women when she joined the junior program in 2008. Today, that number has swelled to eight of the 19 members. Klassen added that Bruderheim was groundbreaking in the number of women that make up the fire team. “We were one of the first departments in the region that got a lot of women involved,” added Klassen. “It’s quite common now.” As well, Klassen said
that women make up the resources in volunteer fire fighting because more men are working out of town. “They (women) are more available during the day,” he said. “So, we have a good response when there’s a call.” In terms of Bruderheim’s new fire chief, Klassen said Clarke fits the bill. “We really wanted to get some younger people into the leadership side of things,” said Klassen. “Us older guys aren’t going to be around forever and we wanted to pass along the knowledge and leadership we have to some younger people.” Other potential applicants for the position of fire chief were unknown to Klassen. He said position postings and hiring go through Lamont County.

Bruderheim Fire Department hosts open house for fire prevention week BY JANA SEMENIUK The Bruderheim fire department held an open house on Oct. 8 to kick off Fire Prevention Week. The event featured a pancake dinner prepared by local fire fighters, tours of the emergency vehicles, as well as a kids versus firefighters combat challenge. In addition, emergency personnel demonstrated the proper way to use a fire extinguisher. “We are teaching people how to operate it (fire extinguisher) and give them pamphlets on fire prevention and other information,” said deputy fire chief Al Klassen.
As well, Klassen added that not only does the open house help to inform the community of fire prevention tips, it’s also used as a recruitment tool. “We also use the event in recruitment by trying to get people out to see what we do and see if they might be interested in joining,” said Klassen. “It’s great for public awareness.” In terms of fire prevention, Klassen says that cooking fires and candles make up the majority of fire emergencies. “First thing you do when you have a fire is call 911,” said Klassen. “Even if it’s small and you think you can put it
out, call 911 first and at least we are on our way.” Klassen added that If you do manage to get the fire out and under control the firefighters will still come and have a look. They will use an infrared camera to examine the area and make sure there aren’t any hot spots or residual fire left. As well, Klassen said that a fire will double in size every minute so it doesn’t take very long for a fire to grow. “Even if you are worried about your neighbours’ bon fire, don’t hesitate to call us,” added fire chief Leslie Clarke. “They can get out of control in no time.”

Support group for PTSD at open house BY JANA SEMENIUK Callie’s Corner, a nonprofit group that supports first responders suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, was on hand at Bruderheim Fire Station’s Open House on Oct 8 to help bring focus to PTSD and let emergency personnel know they aren’t alone. “We’re here to spread awareness,” said Callie Power, founder of the organization. Power, and her service dog Eliza, were available to provide information and answer questions. Power was an advanced care paramedic for 31 years when a car accident ended her career and began her life journey with PTSD. “The car accident triggered 31 years of ambu-
lance calls to rear their ugly head,” said Power. “It ended my career as a paramedic.” In 2016 Power was driving alone at night when her car was rear ended on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary. She explained that as a result of the accident she suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as whiplash which brought on her PTSD. She also suffered two mini strokes after the accident. “The doctor initially said I couldn’t go back to work but after a year and a half of therapy and recovery I managed to convince him to let me try. After eight months the symptoms (PTSD) came back with a fury and I knew it was time to stop. It wasn’t safe for the patients,” said
Power. Not wanting to be completely out of the medical field, she found balance in administrative support work for the U of A hospital in Edmonton. Power admits that day to day life was becoming increasingly difficult due to her PTSD, and knew she was going to need some help. “I couldn’t go into a grocery store without needing assistance. I would get too turned around and too confused. Being among crowds and in loud environments would make me easily startled,” said Power. “I remembered hearing so much about service dogs and how they can help that I knew a dog could help me.” Power applied to a
local organization called ‘Hope Heels’ and within two years acquired a young black Labrador retriever named ‘Eliza’. Power said her life has improved greatly, since Eliza came, giving her confidence to navigate the world again. Prior to her accident, Power attended the funeral of a fellow first responder who lost his life due to suicide from PTSD. She remembers the conversations she had with colleagues after the service centring around the lack of support for the debilitating condition. “I remember one sentence, ‘Callie, what are we going to do? No one is helping us,” said Power. “And I knew we had to do something.” Thus, Callie’s Corner was born. Services that Callie’s Corner provide include peer support for first

Power has formed Callie’s Corner, a non-profit organization, to raise awareness for first responders suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. responders and their families through private Facebook groups as well as paid entry for first responders to attend conferences that teach resiliency. Power is also looking to begin donating to local groups that provide service dogs for
PTSD. Fundraising is primarily achieved through public donations in addition to merchandise sales of T-shirts and bracelets. In three years, Power has raised $4,000 and her Facebook page has grown to 1,400 members.

programs we have allow them to concentrate on their studies rather than on being hungry.” While Mundare students don’t necessarily get lunch everyday, Korec said there was

Cenovus contemplates possible $1 billion plant expansion at open house BY JOHN MATHER If a new pipeline isn’t put in the ground to ship Alberta oil out of the country soon, it could lead to an expansion at Cenovus in Lamont County. The company held an open house in Bruderheim, Oct. 9, and in Lamont the following day to discuss its plans to propose a diluent recovery unit at its tank loading facility along the CN tracks near Bruderheim. Cenovus takes a combined product of diluent and oil from its oilsand projects near Fort McMurray and ships it by pipeline to the Bruderheim tank loading facility, said Doris Kaufmann Woodcock, senior advisor external communications for Cenovus.
From the Bruderheim facility, with access to both CN and CP rail lines, it is shipped to refineries in Illinois or Texas. The diluent, she said, makes up about 30 per cent of the product being shipped. Once it arrives at it final refinery in the U.S. the diluent is stripped out of the oil and returned to Canada to be added to the oilsands output. The diluent makes the products easier to ship by rail or pipeline by acting as a thinning agent of the oilsands output prior to refining. “By taking the 30 per of diluent out at Bruderheim in the proposed facility, it would allow us to ship more product,” added Kaufmann Woodcock. “And it is more cost effi-
cient. “If a pipeline is not forthcoming, we as a company, will have done our due diligence and can make a decision to move ahead with the project, “ she added. She said the project was getting started, just by holding the open houses to get public input on the proposed project. If built, the plant would cost $800 million to $1 billion spread out over the life of construction. If it moves ahead it could be operational by 2023. She said the removal of diluent would allow the Bruderheim facility to ship an additional 60,000 barrels per day of product to the U.S. The facility currently ships about 100,000 bpd but anticipates seeing
that increased to 120,000 bpd by the end of the year. Kauffman Woodcock said Cenovus hopes to submit an application to the government by the end of 2019. If the project moves ahead early clearing for the site could begin in the second quarter of next year. She expects permitting from Alberta’s energy regulator to happen in the third quarter of 2020 with construction starting toward the end of 2020. She had no estimate of how many jobs could be created with the facility either during the construction phase or as a permanent facility. “The biggest deciding factor is where the province is at with pipelines moving forward,” she said. “The

FROM WHERE I SIT: Never felt better
BY HAZEL ANAKA Anyone who’s read From Where I Sit over the seventeen years of its existence know there are a handful of people I love and admire for their influence on my life. They are people I’ve written about more than once. Some of them are within my reach; others are public personas; some are still alive; others are gone. It’s hard to see our heroes because many of them just never come this way. Or they come in the autumn of their careers. Or the ticket price is out of reach. Or we’re busy. Or, in the hierarchy of those we admire, some are just higher up there and others. Hilary has asked me more than once to see David Sedaris,
humourist, author, strange guy. It’s a values decision. Yes, he's very funny but is he worth my time and money. Not so far. But then, there is the cost of regret. Oh, to have seen Roy Orbison perform. Luckily, his brilliance is available to me via CDs. So, when Hilary said Julia Cameron was coming to Edmonton, I didn’t need to be told twice. I used my Roy Orbison regret story to urge her to come too. Apparently, she doesn’t love her as much as I do. Or the people who came from other provinces to attend her first Canadian workshop in nearly twenty years. By way of introduction, Julia Cameron is the author of over forty books including her seminal work, The Artist’s Way. She’s a teacher, artist, poet, playwright, novelist, composer, filmmaker and journalist. She was married to director Martin Scorsese, is a recovered alcoholic, and at age seventy-one appears frail. About four hundred people gave her standing ovation before she’d opened her mouth. The rules of engagement
were laid out by the organizer. The day was hers to direct. No book signings, no selfies, no breaching the perimeter around her. During two Q & A sessions during the day it was apparent this woman is still sharp, doesn’t suffer fools, and is passionate about her life’s work. It was also clear that everyone in the crowd felt grateful for the gift of her teachings. The fundamental tools of her advice are Morning Pages, Artist Dates, and walking. Morning Pages are three, 8.5 x 11 pages of longhand writing done
upon awakening. My own practice has been sporadic over the years. I find I do morning pages when I have a problem. No problem, no pages. Julia insists that if we do the pages, we don’t have the problem. When asked what we should do with the pages, she said get someone to ‘cremate the pages, then worry about the body.’ In other words, they are not to be shared with anyone. We shouldn’t reread them ourselves. The therapy is in the writing not the result. Morning pages takes a whisk into the corners of our life,
brings our issues to centre stage, keeps us from being hot-headed, moves us to positive action. In the twenty-seven years since she wrote The Artist’s Way, thousands of blocked artists (doesn’t that include all of us?) have found their bliss through pursuing their creativity. Through a series of timed prompts, she got us to explore our beliefs about creativity, perfectionism, love, needs, and more. Then we gave voice to our answers in groups of three or four strangers. The listeners then gave a written note
of affirmation to the one speaking. Of course, those notes weren’t our only takeaway from the day. I was re-inspired to action by Julia’s message, I was grateful to be among like-minded people, I was validated by strangers. Twice, during the day Julia led us, line by line through an a cappella singing of one of her songs. It felt sacred. Sharing a soul-full Saturday with strangers never felt better from where I sit.
