Thunderclap’s debut EP album, Hell Bent on Success, is a tantalizing surprise filled with spooky, dramatic, yet still catchy songs that carry a unexpected amount of heart and spirit without becoming pretentious.

Emotive, dark and twisted, the entire album is draped in a

velvety gloom that, with ease, manages to bypass depression and barrel ahead to catchy with it’s strong personality.

While the album may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and I definitely wouldn’t classify it as mainstream pop, country or rock it is one worth checking out if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experi-

The majority of Hell Bent on Success sounds like what I imagine the love-child of Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton and Les Misérables’ Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) character.

Because the music is so unique it’s not something than can be blared and sang along to in the vehicle but the extraordinary storytelling that comes along with the lyrics more than makes up for that fact.

Within the first track of the album the bar is set undeniably high and the remainder of the album rises to the standard.

However it’s not all fanciful doom and gloom; within the songs pokes slightly more chipper and psychedelic undertones, while remaining devilishly twisted.

Other parts of the album thunder and crash as like the grand number of any dramatic musical with a whole cast of voices and background environmental noises adding their presence.

Hell Bent on Success loses points in my book for lyrics, as some of the songs are too wordy to be as appealing as the other songs. However, even those songs have their own personality and don’t stray from the dramatic-musical formula.

Pipestone Flyer

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER The Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer is a member of the Alberta Press Council and follows its code of practice. According to the press council, newspapers, periodicals and journalists have a duty to defend the freedom of the press in the interest of the public, and to resist censorship. Unethical conduct jeopardizes this objective.

Accuracy: It is the duty of the newspapers to avoid publishing inaccurate or misleading statements and further, it is the duty of newspapers to correct promptly, and with due prominence, significant inaccuracies or such misleading statements.

Opportunity To Reply: It is the duty of newspapers to allow a fair opportunity for reply when reason-

ably called for. Individuals and organizations should be given a fair and reasonable opportunity to reply to a personal attack or criticism.

Privacy: Publishing material or making inquiries about the private lives of individuals without their consent is not acceptable unless these are in the public interest overriding the right of privacy.

Balance: A newspaper has an obligation to make all reasonable efforts to pursue comment from any person or organization about whom it publishes, or plans to publish, damaging statements in a news story.

Journalism Of Opinion: Newspapers are free to exercise the widest possible latitude in expressing opinions, no matter how controversial or unpopular the opinions may be. Columnists, editorial cartoonists and others should have the same latitude in expressing opinion, but when they present what purports to be a statement of fact, they should strive to ensure it is accurate.

Journalists should clearly distinguish between comment and fact, and conjecture should not be expressed as a statement of fact.

Opinions should be distinguishable from news stories.

Newspapers should provide a forum for the exchange of comment and criticism, especially when such comment is opposed to its editorial position.

Subterfuge: Newspapers and journalists serving them should use straightforward means to obtain information or pictures. Their use of subterfuge can be justified only to obtain material which ought to be published in the public interest and could not be obtained by any other means.

Payment For articles: Payments or offers of payment for stories, pictures or information should not be made to witnesses or potential witnesses in current criminal proceedings, or to people engaged in crime or their associates, except where the material concerned ought to be published in the public interest and the payment is necessary to enable this to be done.

Intrusion Into grief: Newspapers and journalists serving them should in general avoid intruding into personal grief. Inquiries should be carried out with sympathy and discretion.

Innocent relatives: Newspapers should exercise care and discretion before identifying relatives of persons convicted or accused of crimes where the reference to them is not directly relevant to the matter reported.

Interviewing children: Journalists should exercise discretion when interviewing a child under the age of 18 or a dependent adult, in the absence of, or without the consent of, a parent or guardian.

Children in sex cases: Save in exceptional circumstances, newspapers should not, even where the law permits it, identify children under the age of 18 as victims, witnesses or defendants involved in cases concerning sexual offences.

S ex u a l offences: Newspapers should not identify victims of sexual offences, or publish material likely to contribute to such identification.

Pictures: The APC recognizes the importance of newspapers having the widest possible latitude to publish images. Newspapers should consider the impact on their readers of publishing pictures which are prurient, gratuitously violent

or which needlessly cause distress.

Discrimination: Newspapers should not publish material likely to encourage discrimination, in particular, discrimination based on the race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, and should avoid reference to such matters in prejudicial or pejorative contexts unless they are directly relevant to the story.

Financial journalism: Journalists should not use for their own profit financial information they receive in advance of its general publication.

Hospitals: Journalists making inquiries at hospitals or similar institutions should identify themselves to a responsible official before entering, except in very rare cases where information which ought to be disclosed could not otherwise be obtained.

Confidential sources: Journalists have an obligation to protect confidential sources of information. New sources should be disclosed to readers in a news story unless there is a compelling reason not to do so.

Writer concerned about CFO application Dear editor, Wetaskiwin County water at risk! Wetaskiwin council appears to need lessons in democracy and in the importance of water to all residents in the county.

I’m confused. My understanding of democracy is that we elect representatives to represent all of us, not just their own interests or those of their friends. It is also my understanding that elected representatives are required to follow council’s duly enacted bylaws and agreed upon development and other plans. More importantly in this case, they are also required to follow legislation that is enacted by levels of government having greater jurisdiction than the county council.

It appears to me that Wetaskiwin county council lacks this basic understanding of democracy. On the basis of one application for a confined feeding operation, they are preparing to enact

changes to the Municipal Development Plan that will have far-reaching and highly negative effects on every single bit of water (including groundwater) within the county! And they appear to be doing so without understanding that the provincial Water Act has the only authority over water, ground and surface including wetlands, in the province. As a result of this lack of understanding, they are providing suggestions to the applicant that could leave council or the county open to litigation – which we as ratepayers will have to fund.

The county declared this past summer an “agricultural disaster” due to drought.

Now council is looking to amend the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) to allow development much closer to water bodies and wetlands. At present, there is a development setback of 1.6 km (one mile) from a lake, allowing an environ-

mental barrier to protect surface water from contamination. But the motion made at the November 12 council meeting entertains the request to amend the MDP bylaw, reducing the setback restrictions to only 30 meters. Once such water is contaminated, little can be done to rectify the situation.

In a recent decision (December 10, 2015) council ignored the recommendations of the company paid to advise them because they did not understand the ecological ramifications of that decision. It was clear that their concerns were not about following the bylaws.

Council is also ignoring considerable scientific and other information provided to them regarding the negative effects of CFOs. As landowners, we are extremely concerned by this behaviour and by the effects of decisions made without understanding the potential

ramifications for everyone in the county. I urge all landowners to learn more about this proposed change to the MDP. It can and will affect us all and complaining after it is changed won’t help. Once our precious water is open to contamination, what will you and your family drink?

Act now; write the council with your concerns. We

must speak up and speak up now, for all our sakes.

PIPESTONE FLYER 5

Opinion If you need help, please get it

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Most readers will likely agree with me that I’m concerned about the variety of violent crime going on recently. I don’t remember any time when there have been so many bizarre incidents in so short a period of time.

Convenience store em-

ployees Ricky Massin Cenabre and Karanpal Singh Bhangu were murdered Dec. 18 in apparent robberies. The three suspects in these murders, Laylin Delorme, 24, Colton Steinhauer, 27, and a 13 year old, were arrested the same day as the murders. It looks like suspects entered the convenience stores, robbed the places and then murdered the employees in cold blood.

So far, no real information about motivation has been released.

The biggest joke is the Alberta Federation of Labour immediately piping up to blame working conditions for the murders, which is absolute

horse dung. The murders occurred because somebody pulled a trigger; if there were more employees there, they’d be dead too.

I feel terrible for the families of the victims; they truly are the forgotten people. If there was any real justice in the world, the cowardly shooters would be dead, and the convenience store workers would be alive and happy.

Then there was the insane Christmas day rampage which ended with RCMP shooting and killing a 37 year old lunatic in the Red Deer area.

According to RCMP, the suspect in question attacked and raped a 47 year

old woman and then seriously assaulted a 20 year old man who was trying to protect the woman. After the assaults, the suspect fled and was later spotted in the Sylvan Lake area.

Police pursued him and the suspect stole a piece of construction equipment and generally smashed up the area, including police vehicles. Police shot and killed the suspect west of Red Deer and judging by the suspect’s behaviour, he left police no choice.

I don’t think I have to mention the amount of crime that’s been going on around the Wetaskiwin, Millet and Leduc areas.

From young fellows going from house to house try-

ing door knobs and then claiming they’re selling Xmas ornaments to a break and enter epidemic, maybe it’s just my imagination, but it just seems like there is a lot of crime going on. Readers would be interested to know that both I and the reporter Amelia Naismith get all RCMP press releases from all over Alberta, and it seems there is an armed robbery or two every day somewhere and a never-ending stream of grainy, almost-useless security photos of alleged perpetrators.

Firstly, I have some advice for those of you conducting the break and enter campaign. Please

stop harming your neighbours. There are jobs out there and you’ll make more than you could ever hope to bank from selling stolen property.

Secondly, for the guys murdering and raping, here is some advice for you: Mental Health Support Line 1-877-303-2642, Family Violence Info Line 310-1818, Bullying Helpline 1-888-456-2323, Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-3875437 and Income Support line 1-866-644-5135.

Trashy Facebook users are condemning real world relationships

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER We all know THAT person on Facebook. The one who posts vague woe-isme tales then turn down support in the name of privacy. The one who over-shares important personal information with every random acquaintance they have, and the one who indulges themselves in long-winded rants few others actually care about.

There will be no argument from me that the social media site has its

benefits but people are abusing the access it gives them to instant attention.

Dozens of photos of the same babies posted daily get repetitive, charged political stances grow predictable and tiresome and not everyone needs to know every single random thought that passes through your head. (Editor’s note: And please stop with photos of food you’re about to eat. Nobody cares.)

With such a boundaryless look into other people’s lives it’s not unreasonable to assume people are comparing their own lives to those of their peers. These comparisons and what you see on your Facebook new feed does affect your moods.

In the spring of 2014 Facebook copped to the fact it manipulated a random number of user’s new feeds and changed

the number of positive versus negative posts they were able to see as part of a psychological experiment.

And this type of incident could without a doubt affect people’s relationships with each other, in large part stemming from a change in how those people felt about themselves.

But corporate manipulation aside, becoming a more trashy than classy Facebook will negatively affect relationships you hold.

When it comes to the infamous Facebook rants, just stop, there are more mature ways to deal with those feelings.

Bottling anger and other negative feelings can lead to aggression, distance in relationships, chronic stress, stress exhaustion, depression, hypertension, mental health problems and poor work

performance, according to Suzanne Smith, a clinical associate instructor of psychiatry with the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University.

In an online forum copyrighted to the University of Cincinnati, Smith says many people find positive release in exercise, talking with supportive friends or journaling.

But posting your life’s troubles on Facebook isn’t journaling and it certainly doesn’t qualify as speaking with a trusted friend — unless perhaps it’s through private messaging.

Venting is different than whining and unfortunately Facebook has become a breeding ground for insecure, self-absorbed, self-righteous, shameless attention seekers.

What’s really got my goat these days are the

people who post rants full of personal information and feelings not appropriate for the world to relish — which they will.

One particular rant has the author announcing to the online world how they are cleaning out their Facebook harem and if you’re lucky enough to make the cut feel grateful; and how they’re cutting all the lazy people who don’t know how to be a decent friend and spend time with them out of their life because they don’t need that negativity. To me that seems like a fairly obvious bout of self-inflicted negativity right there.

If you really are going to let go of a bunch of negative influences, good, just go and do it without announcing how strong and self-empowered you are for doing so because it really just proves the

opposite.

Unless what you’re really looking for is your Facebook friends to come crawling to you hoping and praying they are not the demons you speak of and publicly declaring their friendship. If so, mission accomplished.

However, you’re making the rest of us sick.

And doing a little relationship trimming isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in fact it’s an expected stage of life. Growing apart as lives take different paths, evolving into new people is natural. It doesn’t need to be shamed, it doesn’t mean any of those involved are bad people and it doesn’t need to be turned into a Facebook soap opera.

Immanuel Anglican Church hosts ’50s fundraiser SUBMITTED BY CAROL BLAIR Over 150 people came together on Saturday, November 28 to relive a bit of the 1950’s at an event hosted by Immanuel Anglican Church in Wetaskiwin.

“The Fabulous Fifties” fundraiser, generously supported by many donors and sponsors, was a great success in raising $6,000 for local food banks in Millet, Maskwacis and Wetaskiwin. Early on the parish through the committee committed to sharing proceeds made from this event with the local area food banks. This commitment came out of the parish’s values around sharing our blessings with those in our communities.

On Tu e s d ay, December 15 the chair of the planning committee, Carol Blair, along with the Rev. Mr. Hugh Matheson, rector of the parish, were delighted to share cheques and gifts of food with four

food bank representatives: from Maskwacis, Elda Lightning, manager of Samson Cree Nation Food Bank, and DeAnne Lightning, manager of Ermineskin First Nation Food Bank, Lieutenant Dae-Gun Kim with the Salvation Army who operate the Wetaskiwin Food Bank and Debbie Herman, manager of the Millet Food Bank. Debbie Herman told Carol

Blair that this gift would help the Food Bank to operate more easily into the new year when donations tend can slow down.

Immanuel Anglican Church expresses its deep appreciation and thanks to all community and business donors and sponsors who in partnership with the church helped to make the Fabulous Fifties a most successful event.

HELFRICH Henry Cornelius Apr. 30, 1924 ~ Dec. 18, 2015 Henry Cornelius Helfrich passed away peacefully on December 18, 2015 at the age of 91.

Henry was born on April 30, 1924 at Viking, Alberta; the first born of Sjoerd C Helfrich (of Holland) & Martha Moritz (of Germany). He was preceded in death by his parents and sisters, Isabel, Annie; brothers, Stuart and John. His survivors include sister, Margaret Boraas; friend, Gerda Kiel of 20 years; children, Jennie (Don) Jerke, Richard (Brenda) Helfrich, Shirley and Doreen; eight grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren.

Henry left school in 1938 at the age of 14 to work on the dairy farm in Viking. At 19 years of age, Henry decided to join the army. January 13, 1943, he enlisted with the Edmonton Barracks, did basic training in Camrose and advanced training in Calgary. He then left for overseas in June on a troop ship to Aldershot, England. Henry served in the Infantry Division of the Royal Canadian Regiment. From there he went on to North Africa and Italy. On December 25, 1943, Henry was wounded in Ortona, Italy and sent to hospital in Italy where he spent three months in recovery before being sent to fully recover in England. Returning to Canada in 1944, he left the army and returned to the dairy farm and married Millie Leysa in June, 1945.

Henry started working for Northwest Utilities as a helper in 1947, then became a welder at Northwest in 1948. Henry retired from the welding trade in 1989 at the age of 65. After retirement, Henry enjoyed traveling around to auction sales and finding treasures at garage sales. He was a 70 year member with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #86. These early experiences and struggles have resulted in Henry treasuring and appreciating everything that he has accumulated over the years. This is what made Henry hardworking, caring, helpful and generous. Donations gratefully accepted to the Wetaskiwin Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion#86 (5003-52 Avenue, Wetaskiwin, Alberta T9A 0W9). A Celebration of Henry’s Life will be held in the spring of 2016.

History and memorabilia will be displayed at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton in honour of Henry Cornelius Helfrich.
