Kodak Moment: Santa visited the Co-op mall last Saturday and youngsters had the opportunity to sit on his knee and whisper Christmas wishes in his ear. Some children were less than impressed with the experience and others were in awe of the legendary figure.

The Rimbey Review, Dec. 23, 2014 3

Christmas around the world, then and now

By Treena Mielke December 25 is so close, just days away, and the day will bring with it, once again, a message of peace, joy and hope for the world.

For many Canadians, at least the more fortunate among us, Christmas is a time of tradition, celebration and remembrance, getting together with family and friends.

In Canada, the traditional Santa is dressed in red and white, comes in a sleigh and slides down the chimney.

But for Jean Warta, who grew up in Holland, Santa (Sinterklaas) came on a ship, arriving on the morning of St. Nicholas’ Day (Dec. 6) and traveled with his servants called Zwarte Pieten (Black Peters).

When Sinterklaas and the Black Peters came ashore from the ship, all of the local church bells rang in celebration.

“We all got presents from St. Nicholas,” recalled Warta.

Although Warta has been in Rimbey for close to 60 years, she still has fond memories of the Christmases of her childhood.

“We had a tree lit with real candles and then we sat around and watched the candles so they wouldn’t burn (the tree down),” she said.

YOUR PAPER!

Jacqueline Coz and Madelin Sardina, both from Cuba, recall the Christmases of their childhood.

Treena Mielke Photo

Michael Jarmoluk recalled Christmas in Polland during the ‘20s and early ‘30s.

Born in 1923, Jarmoluk lived with his parents, his older brother Leon and his sisters Halina and Lodzia in the eastern part of Poland until he was 16 years old and the country was invaded by Russia.

Up until that time, he recalled happy Christmases with lots of cooking, baking, get-togethers and the jingle of sleigh bells.

“I remember dressing up and carrying a star and going with the other children to homes in the neighborhood singing Christmas carols.”

Junnie Chung who owns Rimbey Foods with her husband Steven Yoon said Christmas celebrations in Korea are similar to those in Canada.

“The only difference is the stores are open on Christmas Day. She said get-togethers with family and friends are common, and while the food is different, people enjoy dining together and sharing a meal.

Chung said she enjoys Christmas in both countries.

“I like the feeling. Everyone says Merry Christmas and people are more generous and nicer. Everybody is happy. It is most joyful. I wish we could have Christmas every month.”

May Huang, who owns Happy Valley Restaurant with her husband John Ha, said Chinese New Year’s is celebrated much more than Christmas in China.

She said Chinese New Year’s is a wonderful celebration that lasts 15 days and includes lots of good food, decorations and dancing.

OPINION

Best Christmas greetings to all The final countdown to Christmas is here and, ready or not, the big day is about to arrive.

For some of us lucky individuals it is pretty easy to be all jolly and happy. For us, the joy of the season Treena Mielke comes naturally, like a On The Other Side gift that is packaged up in pretty paper and ribbons and dropped off on our doorstep.

For those of us who are so lucky, the season of Christmas brings with it an abundance of joy, good cheer and happiness from start to finish.

Health. Family. Friends. Laughter and hugs.

Music. Good times!

Our homes are toasty warm and our hearts are full with good feelings generated by the gifts of family, friends, laughter, hugs, memories and shared joys.

It is truly wonderful to experience those moments at any time, and, at Christmas, it is especially meaningful.

But, unfortunately life, with its trail of sadness and broken hearts, does not follow a calendar.

And, tragedy without warning, can rear its ugly head just as easily at Christmas time as it can at any other time during the year.

But still, even as people wrestle with their own sadness and their own demons, the sun continues to rise and set and the days end and the days begin.

And people decorate Christmas trees and buy presents and go through the motions of finding joy, even if it seems like an illusive rainbow’s end, and chasing it seems futile and hopeless.

But, still, life goes on.

Those who have lost a loved one during this

season, those who cannot lift themselves out of the deep, dark hole of depression, and those who are missing loved ones who are far away, no doubt, find Christmas a bleak and dismal time.

It is true that in this weary old world, there are many, many people who have so little reason to celebrate, to experience joy of any kind. For them, Christmas, with its lights and its message of hope and cheer and goodwill can seem not much more than mockery.

But, it seems, during this season, even in the cacophony that exists as shoppers rush around on endless shopping marathons, searching for the perfect gift, there still exists these tiny wonderful moments, which happen for all of us.

I like to think of these moments as ‘quiet miracles.’

In my lifetime, I’ve had a few quiet miracles that showed up around Christmas.

I don’t even question why. I just count myself lucky.

Just for the record, when my higher self isn’t activated I can’t even see these ‘quiet miracles,’ because I’m too busy running around like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off trying to beat deadlines, both real and self imposed.

However, when I manage to ‘chill out’ using such means as hot yoga or chilled rum and eggnog, I can usually manage re-focus.

And, I’m here to tell you, if it works for me, I’m sure it will work for you, too.

Therefore, I urge each and everyone out there to remind yourself once in awhile there are quiet miracles out there, free for the taking, if only you take time to look.

And so, this year, my wish for you all is that, somewhere in the cacophony of the season, each of you may find your own ‘quiet miracles’ whatever they happen to be in your world.

And, in so doing, may you have the best Christmas ever.

Merry Christmas, everyone!!

However, the first Christmas of 1914 clearly Troops on the front line had already got into broke the impression that those in charge wanted the festive spirit as German troops had received to portray.

Christmas trees and gifts and the British troops Recent research by Stanley Weintraub has had received a Christmas gift from Princess Mary, proved that there was fraternisation - improvised the daughter of George V. The king had also sent at the time in December 1914 but with some a Christmas card to the front with the message ‘rules’ quickly built in.

“May God protect you and bring you home safe.”

Weintraub has found that the first smatterings On Christmas Eve many sectors along the that something was not quite right took place in the Western Front did not experience any fire or very trenches where the Berkshire Regiment faced the little when compared to the previous days in DeXIX Corps of the German Army. The XIX’s were cember. Christmas carols were sung between from Saxony. The Saxons started to put up small trenches. In the dark of night time, groups of Gerconifers on the parapets of their trenches - akin to man and Allied soldiers met in No-Man’s Land.

Christmas Day itself started with unarmed German and British soldiers collecting their dead from No-Man’s Land. This has been a pre-condition for a cease-fire. On Christmas Eve night, when the soldiers from both sides had met, they had done so among the bodies of their fallen comrades. In one burial service, German and British dead were buried alongside each other near Lille.

With this task over, both groups of men then exchanged gifts - primarily food. Sauerkraut and sausages came from the Germans while chocolate was given in exchange. In some sectors, it was reported that both Germans and British got together for a communal hunt for hares so that Christmas Day could be celebrated with fresh meat. The regimental records of the 133rd Saxon Regiment also records a football match which they won 3-2. This score was also supported by a letter published in “The Times” from a British major in the Medical Corps.

As midnight on Christmas Day approached, men from both sides drifted back to their trenches.

Pre-arranged signals had been decided on to allow the men to get back. The use of a flare was enough to warn men to get back and that the cease fire was over.

On Boxing Day, the shooting started again.

Christmas memories shared by town and county councillors Coun. Brian Godlongton:

By Treena Mielke Christmases come and go and sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the season, its true meaning gets pushed aside, as do those special moments that are too special to be forgotten.

For Rimbey’s elected officials, the political wheel doesn’t stop at Christmas, but, for each and every one of them, as, indeed for all of us, Christmas has its own special memories which shouldn’t be hidden away, but brought out, dusted off and shared.

“When I was 13 I got a set of Iroquois Snowshoes. I grew up in Saskatchewan and there was three and a half feet of snow on the ground that year, so they got put to use right away. And I remember 18 kids in our house at Christmas with all the cousins. We had the dairy, so we didn’t get away and everyone came to our house.”

Coun.

Matthew Jaycox: Mayor Rick Pankiw: “I think it was the year my wife and our children went to Hawaii. It was about five years ago and one of the first times that we had gone out of the country during that time of year. It was very relaxing and fun to share Christmas in a different country.”

“Tobogganing down a hill with my four siblings and my mom and dad all crowded on the toboggan. I grew up on a trading post in Peerless Lake. It was very remote and we learned to entertain ourselves. It was great fun. Also, I remember going to get a Christmas tree with my dad and my brothers.”

Coun. Jack Webb: “Skating out at the Bluffton rink on Christmas Eve with my two brothers. It was a tradition. I don’t do it anymore. I’m out of shape now.”

County Reeve Paul McLauchlin: When I was nine I received the Millennium Falcon from Starwars. It was my best present ever. Now its giving presents to my kids. Christmas morning is pretty fun around here and I’m always putting together Lego of some sort.

The Rimbey Hospital & Care Centre has identified the overhead patient lifts and the physical therapy pool as priorities this year, but donors may make a donation to the department or program that is most meaningful to them.

A current wish list of items throughout the facility is available at www.rimbneyhealthdonations.com/ wishlist.

The Rimbey Health Services donation committee works with the David Thompson Health Trust, which provides services to communities in Central Alberta to support their efforts to raise funds for enhanced health care.

Enhanced services and patient care at Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre is the target of a donation campaign now underway.

The Rimbey Health Services Donation Committee is holding a postcard campaign this month as a way to raise funds for overhead patient lifts and a new physical therapy pool.

Presently, 4,000 postcards have been mailed to residents and businesses in Rimbey, Bentley, Bluffton, Buck Lake, Winfield and Eckville.

Overhead patient lifts are needed as they help move vulnerable care centre residents with less risk and less stress.

Ashlee Hamblin, development officer for David Thompson Health Trust said 37 lifts are needed which will cost about $300,000.

“Some are already installed,” she said, noting Rimbey Co-op donated $8,000 last year to purchase a lift.

Another priority of the donation campaign is a new physical therapy pool to help rehab patients strengthen muscles, while decreasing stress on their joints and providing a higher quality of life while undergoing treatment.

The cost of the pool is $300,000.

Rimbey Hospital did have a physical therapy pool, but it has not been in operation for the last two years, due to wear and tear and a leakage.

Hamblin said Rimbey was the only hospital in rural central Alberta that had a therapy pool and it is a service that is missed.

“It is great for physio patients,” she said.

Classmates and friends from other schools running out from their houses to jump on the sleighs with great enthusiasm, jubilantly hollering their thanks to me as if I had been responsible for getting my dad to provide the adventure.

Although I would not have been able to articulate it at the time, I do remember feeling that the corporate moral character of the party was in silent force against me.

Now that I’m a father, I realize the reason for my dad’s silence. If he had compelled me to act “properly� and invite the Miller boys up on the deck, I would not have learned a valuable life lesson in compassion.

As for Bill and Henry, I sincerely apologize and appeal to your character (so markedly absent in me) to forgive my puerile and churlish actions so many years ago.

In this New Year – 2015 – may we all be as benevolent and charitable as we can for the good of our communities and the sake of our conscience.

God bless you and have the best year ever.

In Memoriam

In Memoriam In Loving Memory of “Our Dad” Shane Pike Jan. 18, 1966 - Dec. 20, 2012

BUIST It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thys (Tom) Buist. Tom went to be with his Lord surrounded by his close family on Dec 14, 2014 at the age of 82. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Henny Buist and his kids Tim (Darlene) Buist, Ken (Cynthia) Buist, Benita (William) Weenink, and Eric Buist. He will be missed by his thirteen grandchildren and his close community of friends and extended family. Tom was born in Middelstum Holland in 1932, into a family of nine children. He is survived by his brother Bob (Jean) Buist and sister Alice Scholing, as well as five siblings in Holland. In 1955 he immigrated to Canada to work with his brother Bob Buist, near Calgary. He met his wife Henny who is also from Holland, in Calgary in 1956 and they married the same year. In 1964 they made the courageous move to a homestead in Bluffton with two young children to begin dairy farming. He and Henny struggled through the first winter, which was one of the worst on record, surviving without power or running water, and milking 10 cows by hand to ship cream for a living. They carved a living out of the land, had two more children and developed a successful mixed dairy and beef farm. They moved to Rimbey in 1992 to the Chester Rimbey place, where they continued to farm until 2011.

Tom was a founding member of the Christian Reformed Church in Rimbey and he was passionate about serving the Church and congregation. One of his great pleasures was volunteering at the Rimbey thrift store where he will be sorely missed. In his later years, Tom became an avid cyclist and one of his favorite pastimes was cruising the roads around Rimbey and visiting his family and friends on his bicycle. To the end, Tom maintained a great sense of humor, a quick wit and a love for life. He will be greatly missed by his loving family, his friends and his community. Funeral services were held from the Christian Reformed Church in Rimbey, Alberta on Friday December 19 at 1:30 PM with Pastor Bill Nieuwenhuis officiating. Interment took place in the West Haven Cemetery. If friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to World Renew 3475 Mainway STN LCD 1 Burlington, ON L7R 3Y8 or to The Salvation Army 4837 54 Street Red Deer, AB. T4N 2G5.

“A Caring Family, Caring For Families”

In Loving Memory of “My Husband” Shane Pike Jan. 18, 1966 - Dec. 20, 2012 You’ve just walked on ahead of me And I’ve got to understand You must release the ones you love And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can, But I’m missing you so much If only I could see you And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me Don’t worry I’ll be fine.

But now and then I swear I feel Your hand slip into mine.

“Until we meet again, I will love you Forever and a Day.” Love your wife Debbie

In memory of

MUM Thinking of you at Christmas.

Though your smile is gone forever, and your hand we can not touch.

Still we have so many memories of the one we loved so much.

Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part God has you in his keeping we have you in our hearts.

It is sad to walk to road alone, instead of side by side.

But to all there comes a moment when the ways of life divide.

Teenager recovers from surgery and is home for Christmas

By Treena Mielke It looks like Melisa Crawford’s wish to have her son home with her for Christmas and safely recovered from surgery, has been granted.

Fifteen-year-old Khailnn Burdock underwent reconstructive surgery at the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. on Dec. 3. The surgery means the teen will be free of an ileostomy bag which he needed as a result of being diagnosed with SMAD 4, a gene mutation that attacks the internal organs.

“It was a success,” said Crawford. “And his recovery has been amazing.”

Unfortunately, it seems Burdock’s medical problems are not over, and the young man has now been diagnosed with epilepsy.

“His seizures are becoming more and more frequent, but a lot of it is stress related,” said Crawford.

She is pleased to note, however, that Khailnn gained much needed weight after having the surgery, and the medication he has been prescribed is helping to control the seizures.

Crawford was able to bring her son home to Bluffton last week, and she said he held up on the trip well, though the flight was delayed.

They arrived home at 2 a.m. Dec. 16 and later that day they were busy decorating a Christmas tree.

“It is wonderful to have him here,” she said. “He is an amazing kid.”

Crawford is the mother of five children.

Her 13-year-old Sean also lived with her in Bluffton and she is hoping to have all her children, who now live with their father, with her one day.

Born in the United

States, Crawford is having trouble making ends meet as she is unable to work in this country as she is not a Canadian citizen.

Support has been coming in from the community and Crawford is grateful for whatever help she receives.

“It just melts your heart. It is so appreciated,” she said.

For more information on the story check out A Family’s Christmas Wish by Melisa Crawford on Fundrazr/Facebook.

As well as cash donations, the family is also accepting donations of blankets, medium size Depends, men’s warm winter clothing, size large and shoes, size 13. A washing machine is also needed.

Donations may be made by contacting Melisa at melisacrawford80@outlook.com or 403-7049452 or Kerrie at 403-704-3011.

Melisa Crawford gets a kiss on the cheek from her 15-year-old son, Khailnn Burdock who underwent reconstructive surgery at the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. on Dec. 3. The teen is home with his mother in Bluffton for Christmas.
