An elephant in a yard in Wetaskiwin

by Barry McDonald THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Nestled among trees on the corner of 45th Avenue and 55th Street in Wetaskiwin is an elephant. A hostile looking grey elephant with tusks aggressively pointed towards the street, the back legs in a charging stance, the tail curled around its flanks and ready for battle.

Looks wild and natural but is actually a concrete sculpture created by local artist Edward Kitt. “Yes, I have seen many sculptures of elephants”, stated Kitt as he kept adding cement paste to his newest work-of-art, “but many of them do not have the correct features and characteristics of live elephants. This one (the large outdoor sculpture) is designed and built using one of my series of 12 elephants as my model. In fact if you look at that one (on the bench) it is one of the twelve elephants I sculpted earlier and you will see I did a lot of research and then paid careful attention to details ensuring all the features were correct.”

The elephant has been a work-in-progress for a couple months. The desired shape and framework is built by welding a metal frame and covering it with galvanized wire mesh. The sculptor then covers the frame and creates detailed features by adding cement handful-by-handful. The cement is moistened with just the correct amount of water to ensure the finished product will cure to maximum strength. The drier the mix that will stay in place and stick to the frame, the stronger the final product. “When this cures it will be hard as a rock”, explained Kitt.

Kitt has been a sculptor since he was 17 years of age or for about 30 years.

He works with basswood, bronze and more recently cement. “I had hoped I could do what I love most (artistic sculpturing for a living) but realized I did not want to let the need to make commercial sales overrule my feelings about my artwork. I decided I am not doing this for the money but for my love of my artwork. continued on page 10

Author looks to revive Cree language via children’s books

by Amelia Naismith THE PIPESTONE FLYER

In an effort to generate more Cree speakers and promote the importance of Cree as a first language, author Cindy Laroque is putting her Cree/English books in First Nations school libraries across central Alberta, including the Maskwacis Cultural College library.

“Most kids in our community, Cree is their second language,” said Laroque. “It should be their first language.”

“The main thing I want to get out is our language, I want to keep our language alive,” she added.

Laroque speaks Cree fluently but as a child was a day student at a residential school. Because of this she did not teach her own children Cree when they were growing up. “I didn’t want my own kids to go through what I went through. That’s how I see it.”

“It was hard,” she added.

However, Laroque began teaching Cree to Kindergarten to Grade 9 students and found it to be a struggle teaching the different levels.

Although she was fluent in the language she needed to learn to read and write it. She took Cree instructor courses and early child development courses.

Laroque’s first book, Little Red Running Shawl, first began as a school course assignment and she was encouraged to publish it.

It was published in 2011, two years after she wrote it.

Laroque used the same American publishing company for her second and third books but is looking for a Canadian publisher for her next four books.

Laroque’s young children books are written mainly in English with a few key words in Cree to begin introducing the langue to youth. Each book also includes translations for the Cree words.

Her body of work is also available as e-readers.

Dog poo is no joke

by Stu Salkeld THE PIPESTONE FLYER

A local reader recently came into The Pipestone Flyer office to get some dog control signs photocopied.

These signs appeared to be sort of comical: they included a “please don’t let your dog dump on my lawn,” with a little cartoon on the poster of a dog creating a stool.

The local resident told newspaper staff it wasn’t the first time he’d made signs for this issue and, sadly, it probably wouldn’t be the last. His yard has been a regular dumping ground for his neighbours dogs, despite the signs and even some personal appeals.

Apparently, the resident has approached people who let their dog take a dump right on this fellow’s lawn.

The signs may have been comedic and amusing, but the issue of mutual respect of a neighbour’s property is

“

The City of Wetaskiwin’s animal control bylaw states in part, ‘No animal shall be a nuisance. A nuisance shall include, but not be limited to: (iv) defecating on property other than that of the Owner.’

not a joke.

Most if not all municipalities have dog control bylaws that also include dogs defecating on public or private property without permission.

Communities such as Millet, Wetaskiwin and Leduc all have community standards or animal control bylaws that prohibit dogs leaving piles of defecation on public property where passersby have to look at and smell the offending material, and private landowners also have their yards protected by the bylaws.

For instance, the City of Wetaskiwin’s animal control bylaw states in part, “No animal shall be a nuisance. A nuisance shall include, but not be limited to… (iv) defecating on property other than

that of the Owner.” The Town of Millet’s animal control bylaw states, “No animal shall be a nuisance.

A nuisance shall include, but not be limited to… (iv) Defecating on property other than that of the Owner… If an animal defecates on property other than the Owner’s property, the owner of the animal shall remove forthwith any defecated matter deposited… The Enforcement Officer may impound the animal(s) at the Owner’s expense, if the Owner has not complied with the order within fourteen (14) days.” Of course, the bylaw clearly states if your canine is dropping stinky, steaming piles on someone else’s lawn, you are in violation of the bylaw and can be fined.

”

Just for the record, all of you cat owners out there should take heed as well.

The Town of Millet, for example, prohibits, through its animal control bylaw, any animal running at large.

And this includes felines. “…any cat is running at large if it is shown to be off of the property of the owner and not on leash,” states Millet’s bylaw.

The City of Leduc’s animal control information states, “The bylaw introduces regulations to facilitate responsible pet ownership in our community. This includes ensuring dogs and cats wear licence tags at all times. The licence fee includes the services of expert animal control officers, which greatly improves the chances of a lost pet being returned to its rightful owners.

“Requiring that a dog or cat be on a leash when off the property of the owner, unless the owner of the property grants permission for the pet to be off leash on their property, ensures that property is protected,

and stray animals can be easily identified. Loose animals pose a threat to other animals, residents, property, and themselves.

The bylaw requires that residents protect their pets from the dangers of roaming unsupervised,” it added.

Besides the obvious stench and unpleasantness of dog and cat defecation, property owners who’ve had problems with illicit doo know the effect this material can have on their prized lawns.

The problem isn’t just on private property either, but plagues public areas in communities around the region. Hiking and walking trails are developed for the enjoyment of all, and piles of decaying defecation do not add to the enjoyment of public places.

But the specifics of the bylaw are neither here nor there.

Neighbours shouldn’t need a bylaw forcing them to treat each other, and their property, with respect.

Neighbours should already know that homeowners don’t want to be continually scooping other people’s dog doo off their private property.

It’s common courtesy.

Millet resident fed up with other people’s pets Dear editor, Three pet peeves, I’m a reasonable citizen, take pride in my property and our town.

However, I’m sick of cats urinating on my front porch, my front door and the corner of my garage!

I’m also sick of dog owners who let their dog loose after hours and having to pick up feces in the middle of my lawn or by my front steps. If the town can’t enforce by-laws or the owners are too lazy or have no respect for the by-laws, I will make sure these animals end up at the animal shelter in Wetaskiwin.

My third complaint is where are the by-law officers or the RCMP, when the bikers or other vehicles noisily speed up or down the hill on 616? At the right day and the right time, it is the ideal place for photo radar!

Opinion The benefits of celebrity rehab

by Stu Salkeld THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Those of you hooked on the Cult of Celebrity must already be aware of the misfortune of Kim Richards, who is apparently a television star. Well, she appears on a so-called “reality” TV show, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Technically, Kim Richards doesn’t

fit the profile for the show; her husband has moved on to another woman, so technically she’s no longer a housewife.

Anyhoo, earlier this month Richards was arrested for shoplifting at a Target in Las Angeles, spent a night in jail and, almost certainly on the advice of a high-priced Hollywood publicist, immediately entered “rehab.” Is “rehab” designed to make Kim Richards a better person? Naw, it’s all about money.

Last year the NFL Cleveland Browns drafted an immature little brat named Johnny Manziel. Anyone familiar with American college football knows who Manziel is: Johnny Football,

the star of the Texas A&M football program. Manziel, who was treated like European royalty at Texas A&M because, of course, he won football games, put up stellar numbers playing against other boys, and some NFL experts felt he’d do as well or better playing against men in the professional world. Not so.

Manziel not only struggled on the field (18-of-35 passing for 176 yards and two interceptions, which is horrible, even for a rookie) but his personal life was a disaster. He was fined for giving a middle finger to players from another NFL team; all last season Manziel was heavily criticized for bad play on the field, lack of leadership and ap-

parently not knowing the Browns’ playbook. Meanwhile, Manziel was known for showing up late to team meetings or even missing meetings because he was hung over or otherwise incapacitated as a result of his “Animal House” lifestyle.

He promised over and over again to clean up his act but things only seemed to get worse.

It must have been frustrating for the team, because 21 other teams passed on Manziel in the draft; the Browns took a chance on him, and showed trust in him. Pro football is a billion-dollar business and there really is little to no time for entitled brats to behave like they’re attending a college frat party

while their teammates are practicing and trying to make themselves better athletes.

So earlier this year Johnny Football checked himself into an unknown detox or rehab centre to deal with “alcohol addiction.” While some apologists claimed Manziel was showing maturity as he tried to deal with a problem out of his control, most others saw the move for what it was: an attempt to re-set his career and avoid the consequences of his childish behavior. Talk around the NFL at that time was that the Browns had had more than enough of Manziel’s immature behavior. Talk was, Manziel’s pro career could be over.

But there’s always “rehab.” In the celebrity world, “rehab” is translated into “I’m dealing with a problem that isn’t my fault and has consequences I’d rather avoid. Please don’t hold me responsible for what I say and do. Rather, shower me with sympathy and second and third chances.”

In a perfect world, celebrities, pro athletes, politicians etc. would deal with their problems the same way we “normal” people deal with them: we face consequences and try to learn from our mistakes.

Stu Salkeld is the new editor of The Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer and writes a regular column for the paper.

A drive-in movie…for free

by Treena Mielke BLACK PRESS

I remember the first drive in movie I ever saw as only a quick black and white flashback that has almost, but not quite, been lost in the quicksand of time.

It was the summer of ’63. My dad and I were driving down a dark ribbon of highway towards home.

Home wasn’t in the city, but in a tiny town where street lights played hide and seek in the shadows and a little white clapboard church in the centre of town boasted the warning or, perhaps, the suggestion, “Turn Back to Your Bible for the Answer.”

Anyway as we rounded the curves of Highway 11, there off in what seemed like a huge field, was this huge screen lit up with moving figures.

A drive-in movie.

My dad pulled over to the side of the highway and, from the safety of that old ’57 Chevy, we watched that movie free of charge.

O course, it was our own version of a silent movie, but, to me, a

child, knee high to a grasshopper, it was like stepping onto the peripheral edge of a grown up world which I knew nothing about.

Probably, to my dad, the fact that watching a movie while parked on the side of the road cost nothing, was a matter of no little significance, but, for me, that wasn’t even in the equation!

I remember the softness of the night air, so warm and gentle it seemed you could wrap yourself in it, like a blanket. I remember great clusters of stars pinned to the sky with invisible clothespins.

And I remember feeling good, like all was right with my world.

I thought about that very first drive in movie,

the other night when I was sitting in my daughter and son-in-law’s back yard watching Jurassic Park successfully shown with the benefit of a white sheet and a borrowed movie projector.

It was one of those nights of summer when time stood still in a good way.

The air was soft and warm, like a blanket you could wrap yourself in.

Muted voices of adults and children drifted across the yard as people settled themselves in lawn chairs and swings. The younger set sprawled on blankets and on the trampoline and a lovable dog with a severe overbite wandered about, his brown eyes about begging popcorn and attention,

The delicate scent of wave petunias and sweet peas got all mixed up with the aroma of buttered popcorn that wafted gently over the back yard.

For me, the temptation of popcorn and red licorice quickly overruled any thoughts of counting calories and I grabbed a generous helping of both.

Settling myself in my lawn chair with a bag of buttered popcorn in one hand and a handful of licorices in the other, I was totally, deliciously happy.

And as the movie came on, I was once again transported to the night of long ago when I sat in an old Chevy with my dad on the side of a road and watched a few scenes from a black and white movie which we couldn’t even

hear.

I ate my licorice and munched my popcorn and watched the light from the projector turn flying insects into fireflies.

During very scary scenes I distracted myself by looking up at the night sky and the cluster of stars pinned there by invisible clothespins.

And, once again, thanks to good and simple things like backyard movies and family and friends and a dog with a huge overbite and summer nights, I felt the feeling, the good feeling, like, once again, all was right in my world.

Pigeon Lake noxious weed almost eradicated

by Amelia Naismith THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Noxious Guest Prohibited noxious weed eradication team member Spencer Lloyd picks and breaks a handful of Himalayan balsam, a weed that has taken over the north and west shores of Pigeon Lake over the past 10 years. The eradication team has almost completely cleared the area of the weed. Submitted photo

After six years of painstaking dedication the areas along the north and west shores of Pigeon Lake are almost completely free of the prohibited noxious weed Himalayan balsam.

Eradication program co-ordinator Don Davidson says the Himalayan balsam was introduced to a Pigeon Lake garden in the 1990s and it still poses an international issue.

Davidson says 10 years ago people in the community noticed a “beautiful plant” that started growing along the north shore of the lake and spread to the west. “Soon the shoreline was covered with these pink flowers.”

“They love the wet conditions,” he added.

However, once they realized it was a prohibited noxious weed an eradication program was developed and Davidson volunteered to

spearhead the efforts. “We got funding from the Land Stewardship Centre.”

Each summer the infected lands are patrolled bi-weekly and the developed pick, break, drop protocol is used to kill off the weed’s population.

Davidson says literature he looked at to deal with the weed encourages bagging the plants and disposing of it in a landfill. However, the Pigeon Lake program did not have enough manpower to bag all the plants and Davidson was concerned it would only transport the seeds to a new location.

“The protocol we developed at Pigeon Lake is pick, break and drop.

When you break it no water gets to the flowering end and it dies very quickly.” said Davidson. He explained as long as the roots are not dropped in wet soil and the plants are not piled together they should not take hold again.

Himalayan balsam grows from the

beginning of July until the frost kills them in the fall. Davidson says the plant usually grows to be three to four feet tall but can get as high as eight feet. “The plant is easy to identify, the flower looks like a snap dragon.”

Bees are heavily attracted to the plant and the seed pods can launch the seeds up to 10 feet away using a spring system, says Davidson. “When the pods ripen and you touch the pods the spring recoils.”

Each plant can produce between 1,000 and 5,000 seeds.

Davidson says seeds can lay dormant for about one year before growing but through the program patrols are finding only patches of 10 rather than 10,000. “It’s under control and it will soon be eradicated.”

While the shorelines are almost clear Davidson says the plant could still be lurking on people’s property and he encourages them to keep an eye out and pick and break any straggling weeds they find.

An elephant in a yard in Wetaskiwin - continued So my wife, daughter and I have a family run commercial janitorial business that enables me to work on my projects about two to three hours a day. This one will take two to three months to complete. “ The piece of artwork is a permanent fixture in the Kitt’s yard. “If I were to do a similar piece on consignment, it would have to be on site as it is just too difficult to move.”

Kitt sells his work and takes consignments but, “I just don’t do any consignment.

Only sculptures of things I

enjoy doing”.

Since moving to Wetaskiwin five years ago, the Kitt residence has evolved into an artist’s gallery with the garage becoming the workshop. Strolling through the house, a variety of beautiful pieces of artwork created with a variety of materials are on display; motorcycles and ladies to birds and animals and much more are proudly showcased throughout the rest of the residence. And now his hobby is moving into the yard with the elephant.

Eastern Canada re-visited

by Dominique Vrolyk THE PIPESTONE FLYER

The Kilt At the 2015 Montreal Highland Games, ran across two members of the Viscount Park Pipe Band of Edmonton, Andrew Fedora and Valerie Nicoll, mother of Keltie Nicoll, City of Leduc firefighter. Small world!

It is with a grateful heart that I share with our Pipestone Flyer readers my summer holiday in Montreal, Quebec City and Lighthouse Cove in Ontario. I revisited the land of my childhood and teen years: Montreal hasn’t changed much since last year, proudly displaying a thriving spirit, congested traffic on wide thoroughfares, glorious weather and interesting attractions…

Downtown Montreal, a visit to my childhood school Villa Ste Marcellines that sits on Mount Royal behind the iconic Oratory St Joseph and College Marie-de-France on Côte-des-Neiges were fun and sentimental excursions.

Old Montreal is always fascinating with its impressive architecture and proud history, friendly bistros,

interesting shops, artists and musicians set up on cobblestone streets. My companion and I took a drive to visit St. Helen Island, host of Montreal’s Expo 67, where the huge sphere that was the U.S pavilion is now an environmental museum.

The 2015 Montreal Highland Games, a 38th annual event, is an icon of Montreal culture, paying homage to its proud Scottish history and taking place in the Verdun borough.

History in song and dance, strong man competitions and cultural displays made this a memorable day.

After the massed bands, an impressive performance by more than 400 members of Scottish bands in a crowd of thousands of spectators, we stopped to chat with a couple performers, members of the Edmonton-based Viscount Park Pipe Band. Low and behold, the female musician was Valerie Nicoll, mother of Keltie Nicoll, a City of Leduc firefighter. The only Alberta athlete was Joel Thiessen of High River.

Quebec City offers a unique blend of modern

and historic architecture: old churches like the amazing St Michel de Sillery with its nearby cannons lined up to overlook the river are always fascinating to visit. Old Quebec offers a dizzying array of French bistros with stellar cuisine, artists on pedestrian streets and public troubadours. The double-decker touring buses provide a wonderful way to visit historic sites, in just a few hours!.

After Quebec, it was time for a different pace: we flew to Lighthouse Cove, a 40 minute drive south of the Windsor airport. My friend Valerie Warnock, a Telford Lake resident in Leduc, is blessed to also own a lovely house on the shore of Lake St. Clair, a lake that is 25 miles across!

This tight-knit southern Ontario community boasts a truly wonderful southern weather and a fascinating history: all of its canals were dug to build up the streets, creating a Venice-like town where small and large yachts, sailboats and fishing vessels come and go all year long! The highlights of our visit were kayaking, playing Relic on her

beach (taking away stray logs with a jet ski is challenging and fun!) and relaxing on Valerie’s deck, watching the boats and a multitude of birds go by. The annual “Christmas in August” Lighthouse Cove event was awesome, as several impressive sailboats arrived at the popular Lighthouse Inn, joyously decorated in a Christmas theme… Oh my, that was quite the memorable holiday.

The Cove Val Warnock enjoyed jet-skiing on Lighthouse Cove’s canals.

International ATV prototype developed in Leduc

by Amelia Naismith THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Multiple Leduc businesses and industry powerhouses, along with UTV Canada in Leduc, have combined efforts to create the Expedition Build project.

Expedition Build is an enclosed, four-seater ATV prototype that will be traveling to Tennessee for the international Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) Can-AM dealer convention later this year.

“Our machine will be one of the prototype machines on display there,” explained UTV Canada owner Reid Nehring.

“The Expedition Build is a four-seater Can-Am BRP,” he added.

Nehring was approached last fall at the Toronto International Snowmobile and ATV show by TerraTech Off Road director and principal trainer Mike Bennett with the concept for the machine.

Bennett re-approached UTV Canada this spring with a plan to develop the prototype, sponsors in place and DuraTrax Television on board to provide international media coverage with a threepart series on the construction of the machine and a magazine feature.

“The unique thing we have going here is we've been able to get some of the other local businesses involved,” said Nehring. Gee and Gee Racing Inc. and DC Signs and Designs are two of the businesses lending their expertise and products to the project.

“I'm please and proud we've been able to take a bunch of Leduc talent and showcase it internationally,” said Nehring.

With the Expedition Build four people will be able to travel into the wilderness on the machine, which is self-sustaining for 72 hours.

It includes a refrigeration unit, hydration, extra fuel, cooking abilities and a roof rack to carry camping gear in waterproof duffle bags donated to the project.

“It'll have a military-grade vehicle tracking system in it,” said Nehring.

“It's built to withstand the rugged trails, anything we can throw at it,” he added.

With the help of other “industry giants” such as Dragon Fire, Lowrance GPS, S3 Power Sports and SSV Works, the Expedition Build boasts features such as four-way communication using microphones and helmets. “And also car-tocar (communication) if you're

traveling with another group of people,” said Nehring.

The actual construction of the machine began in July and it must be done by the end of August in order to be ready for BRP Can-AM convention.

Nehring says when Bennett with approached him with the project he was skeptical. “It was 'okay, you've got people approaching you with these projects . . . put it on paper, show us something that's real'.”

“When he approached us this spring with a plan . . . it was 'wow, we'd be crazy not to get on board',” he added.

Nehring says cocoordinating transportation of the parts, since many are coming from the United States, has been one of the project's biggest challenges.

One of the mechanical difficulties has been the suspension of the vehicle.

With all the attributes the Expedition Build has Nehring says the machine has an added 750 pounds. “We've got a lot of unsprung weight we've had to deal with.”

Wiring the machine with all it different systems has also proved challenging.

“We've had so many different electrical systems come together. We're taxing out electrical experts to the bone,” said Nehring.

With the international coverage the project is poised to receive Nehring hopes the

Expedition Build has a strong future in the industry. “Our hope is we're going to attract

custom builds from (the) industry, also from military and law enforcement.”

Build DuraTrax Television films more construction of the Expedition Build for part of a three episode series.

The Expedition Build is a partnership project between UTV Canada, other Leduc businesses and other leading industry companies.

Leduc Farmers Market still flourishes

by Tom Dirsa THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Fresh Approach The Leduc Farmers Market draws not only fruit and vegetable venders from the district, but also many local butchers with meat products and several artisans with unique crafts for purchase.

Photo by Tom Dirsa

The Leduc Farmers Market began its official status 40 years ago even though farmers had been bringing in the fruits of their labor since the early 1900’s to Leduc residents. For many years the market was held in the Alexandra Arena then in 2001 the market moved to the park outside of the arena while the arena was being repaired and upgraded.

The outdoor market proved to be very popular and it remained in the park after the arena’s repairs were completed. Then with the increase in Leduc’s population showed increase need in the park the market moved to downtown and 50th Avenue beginning in 2014. Due to the major construction at Confusion Corner the Farmers Market was once again on the

move. This time it moved to the parking lot south of the ATB Financial building.

The market draws not only fruit and vegetable venders from the district, but also many local butchers with meat products and several artisans with unique crafts for purchase.

One of the vendors is BK Pure Country Meats who have been around for three generations and carries on a long tradition of producing great tasting meats and sausage. The market runs twice a week on Thursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Year after year despite the recent moves in location the Leduc Farmers Market continues to flourish and remains a very popular attraction for residents to purchase fresh food and to socialize with their neighbors just as it has been since the early 1900’s.
