Anonymous group hosts community Christmas dinner

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER Wetaskiwin residents who may not have the opportunity to enjoy a Christmas meal with family or friends are welcomed to a Christmas dinner held at the Moose Hall on December 19.

Organizer Peter Murray says it is started 20 years ago by a anonymous group who wanted to make sure no one was left wanting.

“We used to cook the meal ourselves but now we get the Hutterites,” said Murray.

“It’s a beautiful Christmas dinner,” he

added.

The dinner starts at 5:30 and by 7:30 Murray says, on average, 200 people have been fed. However, some years are higher.

“I suspect it could be more this year with the economic climate and the food bank.”

For those needing a ride to the event, Murray says they can call FCSS at 780361-4425 by Dec. 18. Rides home are also available.

Murray says the event is also never short on volunteers. He explains people have to work on and off in shifts so everyone gets a chance to help. “We have lots of guardian angels.”

Rachel Notley doesn’t set the price of oil

Mandy Vuylsteke

Sheree Baillie

Pipestone Flyer

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Are you a Facebook fanatic? If you are, no doubt

you’ve seen the meme circulating of famed superhero Batman sticking up for Alberta Premier Rachel Notley. In the meme, Batman strikes his sidekick Robin for being unfairly critical of Notley and yells, “Rachel Notley doesn’t set the price of oil!”

Apparently, this is some sort of “get out of jail free” card that social media people use to defend Alberta’s leader amidst what some are calling the worst economic situation

Over-billing issue leaves reader unhappy Dear editor, On Nov. 20 I went to Leduc Walmart and made some purchases; I’m usually pretty good at watching the till bit it’s not always that easy. This time, I didn’t watch it, so when I received my bill I glanced at it, focusing on the higher ticket items and noticed the error.

I noticed that an item was rung in not just once but three times, twice back to back and then again after three other items were rung in. So then I had to wait at customer service to get it corrected.

When I got home I decided that I should bring this to the attention of the manager of Walmart. On Nov. 23 I called Walmart to speak to a manager; his name was Rick. I explained to him what happened and told him that I didn’t think it was the cashier’s fault. I also told him that I had asked my wife if this has happened before and she replied, yes, more than once. I replied that he has never heard of these types of problems before and also said this is why we give you a receipt.

However, he said that he would like to see the receipt and I said no problem, so I called him back on the 24th and said that I would come in on the 25th and he informed me that it was his day off and he referred me to another manager, Margarete. When I went to Walmart, she was not there so I left my name and number and have not heard back from them.

Rock Lepage, Millet

since the early 80’s. The strategy used over the summer was “Everything is the Progressive Conservative’s fault.”

There’s only so long NDP spin doctors can rely on that one though.

All you readers out there struggling with your bills, mortgage payments, employment problems, cost of living hikes, new taxes and other issues, may think you have it bad.

But that’s nothing compared to Notley’s problems. With a budget defi-

cit thick enough to choke a wooly mammoth and crude oil at a low that apparently won’t recover for years, no doubt there are plenty sitting around a table in Edmonton wringing their hands and muttering, “What are we to do? This looks bad.” Well, sharing clever memes on Facebook giving the impression there’s “nothing the premier can do about it” is one approach.

Because Rachel Notley doesn’t set oil prices… does that mean critics

should leave poor, victimized Rachel alone?

Well, let’s look at it another way. Say, for example, you rent an apartment. It snows. It snows a lot. The building manager, newly hired, can see it’s snowing. The snow collapses the roof. You’re sitting on the sofa covered in snow. The building manager leans into the living room and says, “The building manager doesn’t make it snow.”

How can you argue with that logic?

Opinion I don’t gamble because money changes people

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Working in community journalism my entire adult life, money isn’t really a serious problem that I’ve had to deal with.

By that I mean, there are

no large piles of money laying around in my house, causing issues for pedestrian traffic.

Hence, I try to be as practical as possible.

Living on a tight budget encourages you to be practical and avoid waste.

That $20 you saved on groceries could be the gas money you need to see family on the weekend.

However, there is one thing that I seriously balk at where my money is concerned, and that is gambling. Part of it stems from basically being broke most of my life (I don’t have the kind of money you need to gamble) but I’ve noticed that, when money is involved,

people change. Even people you think you know.

When I was in college in 1993, we journalists were a tight crew. We spent a lot of time together both in class and outside. Most of us lived on a budget even in college, so the recreational activities we enjoyed tended to be simple and cheap. We played a lot of cards.

One week, we decided to let one of our classmates teach us the game “hearts.” Hearts, according to Wikipedia, is an “evasion-type” trick-taking playing card game for four players, although variations can accommodate 3–6 players. For some people, it’s not worth

playing a game if money isn’t involved. Therefore, one person in the group wanted to play for pennies, nickels and dimes.

We all said “okay,” mostly to maintain harmony in the group.

After a few hands, one of my buddies whispered to me that he suspected the player who requested we play for money was cheating. Apparently, the player in question was counting cards. It turned out that, yes, the player in question was counting cards and cheating his friends.

Counting cards is, in essence, using your memory to keep track of which cards have appeared thus giving you an ability to

predict the cards that have yet to appear. A few people who use this form of cheating often try to minimize or justify it by saying it’s not cheating.

However, counting cards is forbidden in any casino in Las Vegas, for example, and if you’re caught doing it, some casinos will ban you for life. So explain to me how you can be banned for life for something that isn’t considered cheating.

I realize some people enjoy gambling, and know when to stop.

Lottery, for example, apparently can be a lot of fun to play. Despite the fact that, mathematically, it’s more likely you’ll be

struck multiple times in your life by lightning than it is that you’ll win the lottery just once.

It bothers me that money, even miniscule nickels and dimes, were so important to somebody that they would lie to and cheat people who called him “friend.” So no more gambling of any sort when friends are involved as far as I’m concerned.

Where I come from, good friends are worth a lot more than five or ten cents.

Over-coddled children are the future

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER I may be two or three holidays behind but when I recently read the news story that came out

Norfolk, England — in which a group of concerned citizens demanded the Advertising Standards Authority work to remove a series of scary clown posters from the community because they were distressing children — has only reaffirmed my belief western and First World culture is headed for trouble. The future will contain a wave of over-coddled, self-entitled children with no solid foundation to handle reality.

And I don’t mean just the scary clowns. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you can automatically

erase it from your world on those grounds alone.

Not only were the citizens calling for a restriction of advertising of a local event in a public space — censorship — but the posters weren’t any gorier or more inappropriate than any of the villains that can be found in today’s superhero movies.

There are many phrases for this phenomenon today, a few including hyper-parents and helicopter parents. There’s a difference between being supportive and being obsessive; between cuddling and coddling; and between being secure

and being spoiled.

In the past, CBC has stated the trend of over-parenting began in the 1980s but I personally feel we as a society are just starting to see its worst effects now.

Overly anxious parents tend to bring up insecure children who fear and doubt their own capabilities and in turn can grow to become incompetent, under-confident adults.

Not only can this become a burden on society and those around them, but it’s also setting the child up for failure.

Not only will they possibly lack the emotional

maturity and knowledge to make informed decisions but they also won’t have the confidence to positively move forward with that information without first running to mommy or daddy for the go-ahead.

Over-coddling children, like in the case of the “scary” clown posters, is impractical. Rather than feeding their fears and teaching the children to be afraid of inanimate, imaginary clowns parents should be taking a different approach and educating their kids on the difference between reality and imaginary.

Not that I’m condoning bombarding toddlers with images of Pennywise the Clown in hopes of desensitizing them is a good idea — sounds traumatizing and some people simply do better with scary than others — but pushing a business to do away with their advertising because it doesn’t fit into your parenting plan is absurd.

At the very least travel down a different street.

Women of Aspenland 2015 celebration part 1 SUBMITTED

BY WETASKIWIN & DISTRICT HERITAGE MUSEUM On October 18, 1929, Alberta’s Famous Five (Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, and Henrietta Edwards) succeeded in having Canadian women defined as “persons” under law. To celebrate this, and coinciding with Women’s History Month each October, women from our own community are inducted into the Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum’s Women of Aspenland exhibit. Now in its 19th year, and consisting of 85 “persons”, this project showcases the lives of local women who embody the heart of Wetaskiwin city, county and Maskwacis. Heritage Museum on Saturday, October 17 celebrated the induction of Lou Klone, Dorothy French, and Florence Buffalo.

Florence Buffalo Florence Buffalo was a kind, generous and loving individual. Her many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, both biological and adopted, can attest to this. She dedicated her life to bettering the community and always tried her hardest to put a smile on everyone’s face. Florence passed away on November 29, 2014, and to respect the traditions of Cree culture and the family and friends of Florence still undergoing the grieving process, we will not be displaying any photographs of Florence until after a full year of mourning has passed. We will however, share her story with you so that you may know what a remarkable person she was, and the legacy that she has left behind.

Florence was born in Kehewin Cree Nation on September 20, 1938. Her parents were William and Sarah and she had nine siblings. Together as a family, they lived off the land growing what foods they could and hunting the rest. When Florence was eight years old, she was sent to Blue Quills Indian Residential School where she stayed until completing Grade 8. Afterwards, she was sent to Olds to take agriculture training. This is where she met Frank Buffalo—her future husband.

Florence and Frank were married on November 20, 1956 and had 10 children. They lived in Kehewin until Frank got a job at a sawmill. The entire family moved out to the camp where he was working and just like in Kehewin, they lived off the land.

Florence and Frank moved to Maskwacis in 1966 shortly after sending their children to Samson to attend school.

her head. She always ended her speeches with a joke and used humour to diffuse any tense situation. She joked with everyone; it did not matter if it was the bingo caller or a politician such as Ralph Klein. She had a huge heart which was constantly demonstrated in her every day actions. She would buy groceries for the families who needed them and she would always keep her freezer stocked with meat and bread. She adopted many people as her own and was called mom and Kohkom [Grandma] by them all. She’s been referred to as Mother Theresa because of what she has done for others and the way that she carried herself. She was very spiritual and would always remember to give thanks to the Creator and would pray morning, afternoon and night.

Florence has touched the lives of so many individuals and families and she is greatly missed. She has made such a positive impact in the community and her legacy will continue to live on through those she loved.

While living in Samson, Florence became involved in band politics. She served on band council for 33 years and in 1997 was elected as the first female chief in Samson. She faced protest as there were some band members who believed that the role of chief should only be held by a man, however Florence did not give up. She remained chief for one term and forgave those who protested against her.

Florence loved to make people laugh. She would tell humorous stories about her childhood, like the time she sat yodelling with a lard bucket stuck on

The New Sarepta and Area Winter Lights Competition is once again encouraging people to add a little twinkling festivity to their homes.

“I think if people put some love and care and attention, that grabs everyone’s eye,” said Leduc County community recreation programmer Donna Gill.

“Definitely the bigger the better,” she added.

Gill says many people also put a lot of attention into decorating the insides of their homes and those who wish can register to have judges arrange an inside visit.

15121DG3

Those wanting to partake need to be registered by Dec. 7 and judging takes place from Dec. 18, 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The winning houses are announced Dec. 21; within the competition the top three houses within New Sarepta and another top three from the rural surrounding area.

All participants are also entered for a draw grand prize draw. Gill says in the past the prize has been something similar to a Canadian Tire or Home Depot.

“That way they can go out and get more for next year,” she explained with a laugh.

The contest has run for the last five to seven years and Gill says if first began with just a few people. “It’s growing … It seems to be growing every year.”

Council directs costs of unsightly premises to landowner Some on council feel tall grass unsufficient for bylaw action

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FYLER After refusing to follow council’s direction on an unsightly premises matter, a landowner in Buck Lake will have a $300 bill added to their taxes.

Wetaskiwin County CAO Frank Coutney says the county received complaints regarding an empty lot and the bylaw support the complaints.

“This is just for them not cutting the grass … it looks like it’s an empty lot,” said Reeve Kathy Rooyakkers.

“We did get a bill from a contractor for doing the work.

It was $300,” Coutney explains. He added a lot of calls had been received from concerned residents who felt the long grass was a fire hazard.

“WE DID GET A BILL FROM A CONTRACTOR FOR DOING THE WORK. IT WAS $300.”

WETASKIWIN COUNTY CAO FRANK COUTNEY While the work was already done and Rooyakkers says the county needs to recover it’s costs, members of council feel the bylaw may need a going over in the future.

Rooyakkers added, in this incident, while not all of council feels it was a premises worthy of the bylaw, fault cannot be put on the bylaw officers. “They’re doing what we told them to do.”

“We’re going to follow based on a complaint,” said Coutney.

Coun. Keith Johnson feels, in the future, council should spend it’s time and resources on cases worse than long grass. “Tall grass I don’t feel is an issue. If you compare this to places where you’ve got 40 vehicles, I don’t see that this really compares.”

Coun. Larry McKeever also feels council should be focusing on on more serious situations. “We spent a lot more than $300 going out there. That’s what bothers me.”

“But this isn’t an agricultural parcel, it’s a hamlet,” said Coun. Garry Dearing.

He added he feels council is beginning to micromanage and it should trust the bylaw officers are handling complaints according to how council set the bylaw.

Obituaries SPICER Jason Angel Oct.11, 1970 ~ Nov.12, 2015 Jason Spicer passed away peacefully in his sleep at home in Millet, Alberta. Jason will be regretfully missed by his mother, Alice; buddy, Joel; brothers; extended family and many acquaintances that he encountered over his 45 years of life. Jason had a free spirit and always lived life to the fullest; his brothers can attest to his numerous escapades. He loved his fat cat, Jupee; ferret, Lupee; his beautiful corvette and his loving mother, Alice. Jason would often tell Alice of the many plans he and Joel were always making; how much it meant to him that Joel would take time from his own wife and children to visit Jason. Cremation has taken place. Jason’s ashes now rest in the exclusive, handcrafted, wooden urn designed and completed by his Uncle Mike and Auntie Rose. A Celebration of Life will be held in late May or June of 2016. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to “IN TRUST OF JASON SPICER” at any ATB Financial. All funds will be evenly distributed to the following charities in Jason’s name; Brain Aneurysm Foundation, Brain Injury Association, SPCA, Whisker Rescue and the Children’s School Breakfast Program. A special thanks to Rodger Rowland, Stephanie Behm, Debbie Schmidt and Paige Lucas who found Jason; as well as Constable Desjardins and Constable Sterling for their assistance. The family is extremely grateful for Dr. Bailey, Gail Spiller and staff from the Grey Nuns Hospital who gave Jason new objectives to look forward to over the last several years of his life.

Within the national competition, Leduc was judged in the Class of Champions and joined other cities from across Canada, including Charlottetown, P.E.I., Westmount, Que., and the Rural Municipality of Wood Buffalo, AB. Over the summer a group of judges travelled to communities across the county evaluating those involved on a series of factors, including; the overall contributions of municipal council and departments, industry, businesses, the private sector and

volunteer efforts regarding tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape and floral displays.

A press released issued by the City of Leduc states, “Following their evaluation, volunteer judges Gaétan Deschênes and Steve Preston wrote: ‘Leduc is blessed with a comprehensive multiway trail system that is like no other. Anyone can go anywhere within the City, whether shopping, to its numerous recreation facilities, biking, jogging or for a stroll through its beautiful parks’.”

In a separate release, mayor Greg Krischke states, “Leduc is honoured to receive this prestigious national rating from Communities in Bloom. To have our community recognized nationally for the Multiway and the Walk of Generations is truly an achievement.”
