The Alberta Legislature grounds was the scene of a protest Monday during lunch hour. More than 1,000 farmers and ranchers attended the rally that was organized by the Facebook group Save Alberta Farms that has also launched an on-line petition against Bill 6. See related article on page two.
Proposed farm safety legislation bill short on specifics and lacks clarity, says Warawa Michelle Pinon

Too many question marks. That’s what Mundare area farmer Dan Warawa says about Bill 6, the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act. Warawa, who serves as Deputy Reeve and Chairman of the Lamont County Agricultural Board, is looking for answers as well as clarity
Dan Warawa
rounding the proposed NDP bill that was introduced in the legislature on Tuesday, Nov. 17th. In fact, the proposed bill was part of the discussion Warawa had with Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood, when they had lunch at the legislature this past Thursday. Bill 6 would make workers compensation coverage mandatory for all farms who employ workers, and farmers would be subjected to
safety rules and labour laws. Warawa said the bill is short on specifics, and that clarity is needed in order for people to be able to make sense of it. As well, he feels there are too many exemptions in the bill. “It’s not all bad. But it’s not all good either,” stated Warawa, who is hoping the questions he and other farmers have regarding the bill will be answered at the upcoming town hall meeting at the Vegreville Social
Centre on Tuesday, Dec. 8th between 1 and 4 p.m. Littlewood said she would be in attendance at that meeting, and is also planning on holding her own consultation session in the near future. Littlewood said she has heard both support and concerns for the proposed bill. “There’s not a one size fits all,” said Littlewood, and that’s why consultations are being held. She believes the rules must be practi-
cal and take into account the unique needs of all farmers throughout the province. Littlewood added that the proposed changes must address and reflect the evolving needs of the agriculture industry and take into consideration the protection of all workers health and safety seriously. She also encourages constituents to participate in the online survey by visiting work.alberta.ca/farmandranch

Over 1,000 attend Save Alberta Farms rally Michelle Pinon Editor
Former MLA and farmers advocate Jacquie Fenske was back in familiar territory on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature Monday afternoon. Fenske, a member of the Facebook group Save Alberta Farms, was one of several hundred people who came to voice their protest, and try and stop Bill 6: Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act. “I have been working with Travis Olson to voice our concern,” stated Fenske. They, along with other farmers and advocates helped organize yesterday’s rally. “This is an issue that is larger than any one party, and it requires us to work together to be a strong voice.” Fenske went on to say, “Bill 6 was created without consideration to the recommendations put
of the social centre. “Rent it all and let 750 angry farmers have their say is what I say.” Given the NDP’s majority, Fenske feels passage of the bill is a certainty, but still said it’s important for people to voice their opposition. “Even if it is a done deal, if the rural residents don’t stand up and demand the bill be significantly changed, the government will say we are ok with it. Well, we are not ok with it...” St. Michael area dairy farmers Chris and Mylissa Greening are not ok with Bill 6 either. “It (Bill 6) doesn’t make any sense,” stated Chris during a telephone interview Nov. 29th. Greening, who works on the family farm with his wife and his parents Allan and Elizabeth, said the proposed bill is very vague and does not address the unique needs and demands of the agricultural industry. He feels farming opera-
forward by Farm Safety focus groups that were created about a year ago. They, and several producer associations, were stunned to see their recommendations to separate family farms from large commercial operations, the mandatory use of WCB over other third party providers, (who in most cases offer more coverage), and the inclusion of the ability to unionize in this bill. Now, the government says ‘trust us’ we will address those issues in the regulations. Sure, after they totally ignored the direction they were provided with thus far. To add insult to injury, the questions at the so called ‘consultations’ and the on-line survey are created to skew the results in one direction.” Fenske pointed out that the consultation in Vegreville on Dec. 8th has been planned for after passage of the bill, and has been limited to one half of the capacity
tions are too unique and diverse to all be put under the same blanketed program. He has many other questions and concerns, and said with WCB being mandatory, under occupational health and safety, there will be costs to the farmer or taxes passed on to all Alberta residents. “Either way, it is going to cost money.” Having worked in the construction industry for a couple of years, Greening said he knows firsthand that that system cannot fit into the farming system. While he recognizes the importance of safety, he believes farmers have enough common sense to implement their own safety measures. Greening also points out that of the reported accidents to government in 2014 and 2013, they were all in construction and construction trades or forestry. He also noted that more children died in government care than

More than 1,000 farmers and ranchers gathered at the legislature to protest Bill 6 on Monday, Nov. 30th. do children on family farms in recent years. Greening said the government should leave well enough alone and let farmers keep on with the business of farming. A request was made by
The Lamont Leader to interview Lori Sigurdson, Minister of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour, but has yet to receive a reply from the minister’s office.

Gamblers dream or dishonest scheme? Michelle Pinon Editor
Too good, or too good to be true? An eye-catching poster advertising a “Lifetime Opportunity” to “play in a group to increase you chances of winning LOTTOMAX.” The striking advertisement went on to state, “Maximum group membership 150. Cost per draw $57.16 per member. The group play consists of 54 consecutive draws. All monies will be deposited into a secure In Trust account. Free plays to be saved and played when Jackpot at maximum $50 million.” Kevin van Egdom, a spokesman with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, (WCLC) told the Lamont Leader that the Trilottogroup is not an authorized lottery retailer, and does not have permission from WCLC to use the LottoMAX logo. van Egdom also ran the numbers. At $57.16 per draw per member, with 54 consecutive draws, it would cost $3,086.64 per player. The cost per play would be multiplied by 150 players to equal $462,996. “That does not equate to $5 per ticket.” He also pointed out that it is illegal to sell lottery tickets for a premium, and with these numbers, the Trilottogroup members would definitely be paying a premium. The poster was also
advertising for commission sales people, and to email a resume or phone the number listed. While lotto retailers are paid a commission on each ticket they sell, and up to two percent on any prizes they redeem, up to $1,000. He noted that, “In order to pay commission, some sort of premium would have to be charged to pay for the cost.” van Egdom emphasized that while the WCLC does not actively investigate outfits like this, he would warn against joining this type of group. He said people should keep in mind that while playing in groups is not illegal, you should play with people you know, that each member should have photocopies of all the tickets that are purchased and make sure everyone has copies of the tickets in their possession. Ron Mycholuk, public relations manager with the Better Business Bureau, (BBB) said that at first glance it looks legitimate, and have not received any complaints to date, however, anytime you are asked to send money and participate in something or buy a product or service, you must take precautions. Some of the tips he recommended were: •Understand what you are getting for your money. Ask questions and determine what the cost is, what cancelllation terms there are, and

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, December 1, 2015
Opinion Oppose Bill 6 Family farming is a way of life in Alberta. It is intrinsic to the fabric of our rural communities, and has been for more than 100 years. I can also tell you from experience that nobody cares more about the safety of farms than the moms and dads who live there. Farm workers are more than employees, they are friends, neighbors, and in many cases family. One of the most enduring values of rural life is our commitment to take care of each other. It’s just one of the things that make rural Alberta truly unique. Some things have, of course, changed over the last century. There are larger, commercial farms and livestock operations that do resemble a typical workplace and for which typical workplace regulations should largely apply. Wildrose believes, as many farmers and ranchers do, that more should be done to improve safety for farm and ranch workers. But the government is poised to unilaterally overhaul legislation affecting the traditional livelihoods of thousands of Albertans. Omnibus Bill 6 lays down Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) regulations for all farms as of Jan. 1. It opens the door to new employment standards, and expands the Labour Code to encourage the unionization of farm workers. Calculating the impact on family farms is difficult, and that’s a big part of the reason to take more time. By Jan. 1, all farms will be expected to pay WCB premiums (1.7 to 3 per cent more on their payroll) regardless of the insurance they already carry. Bill 6 also greatly expands the definition of who is a farm worker, and even imposes regulations on unpaid friends and neighbors. Every time the government has done broad consultation in the past the verdict has been the same: “Educate, don’t legislate.” If we truly want to improve farm safety, improved education is the most effective path forward: more awareness, better training materials, and recognition of the unique aspects of differing agriculture sectors. It seems this is not a message the NDP government is willing to hear. Unless something changes, perhaps the most transformational rural legislation in a generation will come into force just 45 days after first being made public, and impact over 40,000 farms across the province. This simply is not right. Wildrose is asking the government to pause this process and listen to farm families. We are also seeking an amendment to ensure family farms are not unfairly lumped in with larger corporate entities.To make this happen, we need your help. We need you to get in touch with your MLAs. Make a call. Write a letter. Attend one of the government’s after-the-fact consultations, scheduled through Dec 14. Your farm is your home. You deserve a say on how you are treated under the law. Please help me fight for your right to have your say.
Letter to the Editor Co-ops still have a place in rural society Dear Editor, I hope these people will be happy once the REA gets sold. In my opinion, in Canada we just love to sell everything we can, let the Americans or Chinese buy it, and then sit and complain because we don’t own anything. I have never seen it, when you sell a hard item that you ever gain.

tainly have a place in our rural society. Multinational companies do not really care about you or I. We deal with very large companies to get our canola seed, and it is getting to the point that they almost seem to want all our money; and I am afraid if we let this happen to our utilities, the poverty level in this country will be even
higher. I guess some people will be happy to get a cheque for twenty some thousand dollars, pay thirty some per cent tax on it, and I guarantee you that in a year or two they will be just as bitchy as they are now. Donald Suddaby Lakeland REA member

From Where I Sit: Self-Inflicted
By Hazel Anaka Have you started your Christmas preparations already? You know, it’s a really, really short list. Hang the outdoor lights….. no problemo…. the weather has been exceptional. Decorate the tree. With
today’s better looking than ever artificial pre-lit trees, the results are awesome. Not having to untangle and wrap multiple strings of lights around the tree has emancipated the designated tree decorator from the worst aspect of the job. Sorting through bins of decorations is both nostalgic and overwhelming if you have as many ornaments as I do. Transforming the rest of the house is the fun part. How much or little comes out of storage likely depends on whether you’re hosting a house party. Have you started flipping through cookbooks, the internet, and the
scraps of paper in your kitchen drawer for some new or tried-and-true recipes? Are there dietary restrictions altering the traditional meal? Do you cook for days on end or has your family moved to the fairness of potluck feasts? Do you have a Christmas Eve tradition of Chinese food or KFC? And what about the baking? Some women (not this kid) are extraordinary when it comes to creating pan after pan of goodies for their own shindigs or as hostess gifts. And mustn’t forget the gingerbread house for the kids. Are you the super organized one who
shops for the perfect gifts all year long? And remembers where you hid them. Or do you love the thrill of the Christmas Eve chase? Circling the lot for the elusive parking spot doesn’t make you cry. Searching (and searching) for a ‘retail associate’ who’s MIA doesn’t raise your blood pressure. Discovering that your preferred size, colour, features, items are sold out doesn’t have you putting your fist through the wall. Hell, there’s still time. No sweat. If you’re like most of the population you won’t be mailing Christmas cards. Only

the closest will get a hand-delivered one. Or maybe an emailed one or a Facebook posting. Penmanship and spelling have suffered. Taking the time to write a personalized message takes too damn long when a generic group text can hit everyone at once. The days of Christmas may include a church service, concerts and recitals, multiple family gatherings, Boxing Day sales (or returns), and whatever else any of us can cram into those days. If you’re one of the lucky few who have time off between Christmas and New Year’s you can do whatever your little
heart desires. Sleep in, pour yourself into the music or books you received as gifts, eat turkey in every possible form, get a head start on your resolutions, spend time with friends and family, OD on Netflix. I usually start a jigsaw puzzle, read, make some jewelry. Whatever you do and whatever you leave undone is your choice. Suicide rates and bouts of depression rise during ‘the happiest time of the year.’ Choose how much pressure you put on yourself to create the perfect Norman Rockwell Christmas. Most of it is self-inflicted, from where I sit.

Monsanto Canada helping grow farming communities Michelle Pinon Editor
Thanks to Lamont area farmer Frank Cholak, and the generosity of Monsanto Canada Inc., the Lamont & District Agricultural Society was one of 66 rural charities to be awarded $2,500 recently. There were a total of 371 entries in the 2015 Monsanto Canada’s Farmers Grow Communities program. Each non-profit was nominated by a local farmer who applied on behalf of their favourite cause. Cholak said the $2,500 will go towards upgrades for the new ag. grounds. “Every little bit helps,” said Cholak, who was very appreciative of the funding that was supplied by the company. “The best part of the Canada’s Farmers Grow Communities program is hearing about how each charity will use its $2,500,” said Kelly Funke, public affairs manager at Monsanto Canada. “Each organization has unique needs, but each one will con-
tribute to making their community stronger, thanks to a farmer,” added Funke. Now in its fourth full year, the program has generated a wide variety of ideas from farmers on how local groups in their communities could benefit from the grants. For example, librairies, com-
munity centres, arenas, curling clubs, schools, and 4-H clubs were just some of the types of programs and organizations from Northeastern BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes to benefit from the the grant initiative.

More to offer than ever before at the Lamont library Michelle Pinon Editor
Krystal Kinash has barely had time to catch her breath, let alone get all of the inventory of books and resource materials at the Lamont Library input since joining the Northern Lights Library System (NLLS). Kinash, the library manager, said the other challenge she and school librarian Rose Konsorada faced, was the library’s renovation this past spring. They, along with library board members and volunteers helped pack and unpack thousands of books. “We had 450 boxes of books,” said Kinash. Those boxes were very heavy and took up a space that was 10 feet by 10 feet while the walls were painted, new flooring installed as well as new shelving. Then came the task of starting to reorganize the books, and put them back on the shelves. “It took us a week to put the books back on the shelves.” Her time is split between serving patrons and inputting more books into the computer system. “I still have non-fiction, romance and popular books to do.” Some of the layout of the library is different now, and they are able to accommodate more tables and computer stations. It feels much more spacious, and there’s better traffic flow,” noted Kinash.They have also added the section for kids DVD’s, fiction, and a place for teacher resource materials. This past January the Lamont Public Library
became a member of the NLLS. “We’d been tossing around the idea for a couple of years,” said Kinash, before joining. “We wanted to keep our own identity, but as a big conglomorate we now have more options.” Kinash said patrons now have more variety of products and services to choose from. “Now we have books, DVD’s, magazines and journals.” Patrons can now get ebooks, online movies, magazines, newspapers, etc. For example, patrons who take out a membership receive a Trac card that allows them to borrow out of library materials. “Trac consists of over 170 libraries, with more than three million combined resources.” Zinio offers 49 unique titles of magazines. Hoopla allows patrons to borow free videos, music and audio books. Mango is a free language learning program with over 50 languages available. Press display offers issues of newspapers in original form from around the world. NLLS also offers librarians consulting services, facilities, technology and program as well as central ordering, calculating and processing of materials, reference and information services, delivery services, circulating block collections of talking books, large print and specialty theme collections in addition to continuing staff education and training. Konsorada is hoping that sometime this year to integrate students into the NLLS, which will offer them many more educational and learning opportunities in the future.

Film screening of ‘A Place Called Shandro’ a success By Hazel Anaka More than 200 people braved a wintry blast to attend the Edmonton screening of an important documentary about an early Ukrainian settlement in northeast Alberta. A Place Called Shandro is the work of Toronto filmmaker James Motluk and just his latest effort to capture the Ukrainian story. A previous work,
Jajo’s Secret told the story of his grandfather’s internment. This is the second time Albertans were able to watch the Shandro film. It originally premiered at Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival in August. The November 24th showing at the Royal Alberta Museum Theatre was presented by the Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project and

its partners and patrons. Radomir Bilash, Project Lead and senior historian with the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village (UCHV) and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) played a huge role in the movie and was on hand along with staff of the Genealogical Project to answer questions and explain their display. Having Motluk available by Skype both before and after the movie added a whole new dimension to the experience. Motluk spoke about his interest in capturing the settlement story of an incredibly beautiful part of the province. In the Q & A session after the movie moderated by Shandro Production’s Lydia Migus, person after person thanked him for his work. Descendants of some of the film’s characters were in attendance including a ninety-something year old. Viewers saw her as the youngest child in an old black and

Others teared up as they saw the current state of some of the landmarks of their youth.

the film was finally finished last April, and made its debut at the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival on Sunday, August 23rd in Andrew. A second screening of the film was held in Edmonton on November 24th where he got to interact on screen with the audience via skype before and after the film was shown. The film was such a poetic way of showcasing the area, and will have a lasting legacy in the minds and hearts of those pioneers and their descendants for all time.
Shandro is a long way from Brookville, but the common thread that joins them together is filmmaker James Motluk and his Ukrainian cultural roots. Motluk said he wanted to tell compelling stories of real people and places as well as explore his own cultural heritage when he came across a story based on the founding of the community of Shandro. “It spoke to me.” It also spoke to executives at OMNI Television who agreed to support the project. “The film was shot in the summer of 2014.” He remembers traveling through the area. Rather than focus primarily on archival photos, Motluk said he wanted to capture “evocative visuals” of the vast expanse and beauty of the landscape. He also listened to audio tapes of second generation pioneers to get first hand accounts. As well, Motluk interviewed some of the JAMES MOTLUK PHOTO local residents who could This photo was taken by filmmaker James Motluk durprovide resources and ing the summer of 2014.

Farmers, ranchers and their workers want to return home safely after working hard all day. We want to help. That’s why we’re proposing changes to laws that keep farm and ranch workers safe and ensure they’re treated fairly. • • •
Ensuring farm and ranch accidents can be properly investigated so they can be prevented. Making sure farm and ranch workers can still support their families if they’re injured on the job. Protecting farm and ranch owners against the impact of workplace injuries and illnesses.
If approved, laws that govern workplace safety and Workers’ Compensation Board insurance coverage would apply to farm and ranch workers as of 15115DG0 January 1, 2016. We also want your views on how we can work with employers to make lives better for farm and ranch workers. For example:
