Fort McMurray children hold appreciation concert in Ma-Me-O

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER In return for handmade pillowcases gifted to them following their flight from the Fort McMurray fire, two children residing in Poplar Bay for the time being gave a thank you concert to the South Pigeon Quilters and Sewists.

Cassidy and Atlas Chaney, and their grandmother Sunny Chaney, played a variety of tunes at the Summer Village of Ma-Me-O Beach Senior’s Centre June 22.

Secretary-treasurer Darlene Bouclin says the newly established group is still in its fundraising phase and has a lot of fabric donated to it, which is how it was able to accommodate the project. “They donated the fabrics,� said Bouclin, referring to Winfield Country Stitches.

Bouclin hand-delivered the pillowcases

to the two children, and one to an infant residing with another family in the area.

She explained the informal quilters are not going to regularly get involved in community events of that fashion at this time but those who frequent the group felt the right thing to do was lend their support to those impacted by the fire. “They were so thrilled. Just a little thing like that,� said Bouclin. “It was a little thing we felt we could do for the children displaced,� she added.

Before starting their performance for the quilters and other community guests the Chaney children spoke a few words on how appreciative they were for the pillowcases. “We’re here today to thank you ladies for our beautiful pillowcases,� said Cassidy. “We will treasure them for a long time,�

Atlas added.

Cassidy and Atlas Chaney, and their grandmother Sunny Chaney, visited the South Pigeon Quilters and Sewists to sing a number of songs in thanks for the pillowcases the group made for the children after they were displaced from their Fort McMurray Photos by Amelia Naismith home, June 22.

Majority of Albertans don’t support minimum wage hike: survey

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER A business organization last week presented a survey that shows a majority of Albertans do not support the NDP government’s drive to raise the minimum wage in this province.

“This Return On Insight (ROi) survey was commissioned by Restaurants Canada to explore public attitudes toward the proposed increase in the minimum wage in Alberta to $15 per hour by 2018,” stated a press release June 27. “The online survey of 757 Alberta adults took place between June 17 and June 21, conducted with a cross section of people recruited for ROi’s online panel based on demographics and region.

“According to a survey commissioned by Restaurants Canada, almost two thirds of Albertans think raising the minimum wage to $15 by 2018 is too much for businesses to handle given the state of the Alberta economy (64 per cent agree).

“Bruce Cameron, President of Return On Insight, noted, ‘Albertans want the government to delay implementing their proposed minimum wage hike due to widespread concerns about the Alberta economy and the ability of businesses to absorb such a large

increase during a recession.’”

The Official Opposition quickly noted, “On Monday, Restaurants Canada warned the nearly 50 per cent hike from 2015 levels, on top of a hurting economy, will lead to the shutdown of even more businesses across the province. A new survey also suggests 61 per cent of Albertans think a minimum wage hike should be delayed.

“The NDP claims to be on the side of working families, but their policies are spurring even further job losses and uncertainty in communities right across the province,” Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said. “The NDP government has an opportunity to show pragmatism instead of sticking rigidly to ideology. It’s time for the government to follow the Wildrose lead and be on the side of job creation and stability for Albertans.”

Committing to an unrealistic minimum wage hike during a historic recession suggests many things about the government currently in power in Edmonton.

Stubborn pig-headedness comes to mind. “We already committed to the minimum wage hike, it’ll

be embarrassing to go back now,” muse the politicians. Plus, what would the Sierra Club and Council of Canadians think?

Then there’s the economic ignorance inherent in dogmatic NDP manifesto decisions that have been made since the last provincial election. Instead of letting the market dictate when wages rise, a brain trust in Edmonton has decided that they know best.

Has the brain trust also decided where businesses will get this extra money? Are they aware that the extra money comes from customers? Are they aware customers will face inflation, as is always the case when this 1960’s Love Bug mentality to meddle in the economy rears its head? Are they also aware how this inflation will affect other parts of the economy, like rental rates?

The NDP are currently consulting with Albertans about the minimum wage hike, which is a waste of taxpayer money. Consultations conducted by the Government of Alberta, based on what Premier Rachel Notley has clearly stated on the record, are public relations exercises as the NDP have already

stated they’re raising the minimum wage to $15 by 2017 according to the government’s timeline.

A waste of taxpayer money.

The situation is very similar to Bill 6, the farm labour bill, which was passed by the NDP majority in the provincial legislature last fall with no consultation with farm families; consultations are apparently now being done. Seem pointless? Not really. It makes perfect sense as a PR exercise; Something had to be done. Notley and her government took a PR beating over that farm bill.

The Restaurants Canada survey showed six out of 10 Albertans think the NDP should stop the minimum wage hike during a recession; it’s probably the same 6 of 10 Albertans who voted against the NDP in the last provincial election.

Realistically, if the NDP wants to make life better for everyday or working class Albertans, encourage people to place a high value on education. Encourage more people to graduate from high school in this province, and make it easier for people to go to college or university.

With a proper education, a worker will find myriad possibilities open up in the work world that will have far more benefit to Alberta than a few dollars an hour could ever manage.

Dear editor, Last Wednesday, June 29, three longtime, taxpaying property owners attended the Ma-Me-O Beach council meeting. We were concerned about the on-going, wasteful spending for the wastewater sewer line that is not needed. The village’s bylaws require all property owners to have pump out septic systems.

Our concerns were increased by reports that $3 million was to be spent on a system that would not pump solid wastes out of holding tanks. In addition property own-

ers would have to pay an estimated $15,000 to hook up to the sewer line, $1,400 for annual maintenance costs, up to $2,000 for yearly operating expenses and other “hidden costs”, including cleaning up and restoring landscapes. All of these costs and dislocations would provide no appreciable benefits, economically or ecologically, to our community.

On Saturday, July 9 at 10 a.m., an annual meeting will be held at the Ma-Me-O Village Hall. The proposed sewer pipeline will be a major item of discussion. If 65 to

70 property owners object to this proposal, a vote will be held to determine if this fiscally irresponsible venture should go on.

One wonders if the council’s failure to be open and transparent is

appropriate in this era of government accountability to its taxpayers? The Barnhill family has paid increasing taxes for 69 years.

Al Barnhill, Ma-Me-O cottage owner

Correction In the June 30 issue of the Pipestone Flyer, on page 14, in the STARS seeking county budget consideration story,

it states each STARS mission costs $250,000. The correct cost of each mission is $5,400. We apologize for the error.

Opinion ‘Brexit’ was no surprise

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER I got a call from my mother this week that I was expecting to get. “I was watching TV this weekend,” said Sonja Salkeld.

“Great Britain voted to leave what? What’s going on over there? What’s ‘Brexit’ mean?”

Good question. What does “Brexit” mean? If you listened to J.K. Rowling early last week you’d swear the earth had been struck by a meteor 10 kilometers wide that killed 95 per cent of all life on earth.

“Brexit” was a referendum held in Great Britain the last weekend of June on whether or not the nation should resign its membership in the European Union.

The EU is an economic alliance, akin to Canada, the U.S. and Mexico’s free trade zone, that had the goal of increasing movement of people and money within EU member states. It also involves some rather disturbing financial bailout powers that seem to fly in the face of the EU’s stated assumptions and goals (“a union of nations will benefit everyone economically”).

Claims of the end of times because Great Britain is leaving the European Union are exaggerated greatly. Great Britain was never a core member of the EU anyway;

the pound sterling was still the standard currency, while EU members use the so-called “Euro.” The non-binding vote resulted in 51.9 per cent voting to leave the EU, while 48.1 per cent voted to stay. Critics called the margin “razor thin,” which is ridiculous.

It’s virtually four per cent out of a total of 33,577,342 votes cast, equaling roughly 1,500,000 million votes. That’s a thick razor.

It should come as no surprise that the EU is floundering. The basic premise of the EU is flawed, being that all EU member states are equal economically and should be expected to perform as such. Total bunk. The economic power of Portugal is of no comparison to that of Germany, yet that’s the premise the EU was based upon. You can’t have one roommate paying 30 per cent of the rent, another paying 70 per cent of the rent and the Greeks paying nothing.

Speaking of the Greeks, an unsurprising factor in Great Britain voting “leave the EU” is the ongoing Greek financial crisis (which is likely due to flare up again soon).

In essence, the Greeks had disastrous fi-

nancial philosophies such as a national retirement age of 50 coupled with the 2008 recession that left the nation unable to fund its own government.

The Greeks asked their EU friends to bail them out.

Actually, the Greeks asked their EU friends to bail them out a few times all the while plainly stating, “No, we won’t be changing our fiscal policies to ensure this chaos never happens again. We just want the bailout money, thank you very much.”

In all fairness to the Greeks, there were other weak, incompetent governments in the EU exposed by the 2008 recession, including Ireland, Iceland and Spain.

The influx of Middle Eastern refugees to EU member states is also a factor in the referendum. Literally millions of people are fleeing deplorable conditions in Middle Eastern states like Syria, entering countries already dealing with recession.

The immigrants have varying levels of education and employable skills and most come from military dictatorships where their experience as members of a democratic society is limited to say the least.

The Greek economic chaos and im-

migrant crisis were examples used in Great Britain by “leave the EU” supporters.

They stated such problems were, are and should not be the concern of the taxpayers of Great Britain, especially as the nation already, for example, pays hundreds of million of pounds to United Nations agencies annually to handle things like civil war and refugees.

As well, “leave the EU” supporters stated it seems Great Britain’s tax dollars were under the control of the EU committee, not the democratically elected members of Great Britain’s government.

Voters in Great Britain aren’t the only ones who have deep reservations about the way international trade and diplomacy have been handled over the past eight years. As the United States under President Barack Obama refused to show the global leadership required of the only remaining superpower, those responsibilities have been handed to smaller nations that obviously can’t handle and don’t want that responsibility.

The “leave the EU” result in Great Britain should be a wake-up call to global governments about whether their duty is to foreign citizens, or to their own.

Cultural appropriation, one-sided victim crutch

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER Not being one to normally follow celebrity news, as I don’t usually find it important or relevant; but something came out recently that poses a much larger look at an issue afflicting society as a whole.

Pop musician and actress Vanessa Hudgens is one in a long list of individuals to be publicly slammed for cultural appropriation after posting a photo of herself with a dreamcatcher in her hair.

Cultural appropriation remains a one-sided argument that aims to only protect minority, seemingly victimized cultures with no regard for the hypocrisy it encourages.

However, if people were able to look past the restrictions of entitlement and biological heritage to see humans are all of the culture in a globalized world; wherein cultural borrowing and osmosis-education in a positive, non-mocking manner where encouraged most cases of cultural appropriation would be a non-issue.

According to the New World Encyclopedia, the dreamcatcher supposedly first originated with the Ojibwa Nation but was adopted by a number of

different nations to show solidarity.

Now, the idea of cultural appropriation is promoting cultural barriers and segregation.

Dreamcatchers are showing up as hair accessories, on clothing, and jewelry, but seems to be an issue of cultural appropriation on an inconsistent basis; as are most arguments of cultural appropriation.

In the globalized world we live in today, where countries, especially western countries, are a melting pot of different cultures, it is nearly impossible not to experience elements of another culture and taking a liking to certain elements.

The argument cultural appropriation as a problem includes the line of thought it strips minorities of the credit they deserve. But if cultural appropriation is about protecting the integrity of cultural elements why is it only minority cultures seem to matter?

Why can those not of a rural western background wear cowboy boots and hat, and those not of the Maile culture wear a lei, and those without Gaels,

Gauls, British, Irish, and Gallations heritage sport a Celtic tattoo without being vilified?

There are numerous blogs peppering the Internet on why cultural appropriation remains a troublesome issue. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but not all of these blogs seem to be telling more than one side of the story.

One blog titled My Culture is Not a Trend starts out: “I’ve removed myself from a lot of the cultural appropriation debates because as a person of colour, it is … exhausting trying to have your feelings and pain constantly invalidated by white folks.”

The remainder of the post attempts to explain why reverse cultural appropriation is not an issue and why minorities can take elements of majority cultures without the same repercussions due to the fact English colonization forced that culture upon them anyway.

History contains many tragic events that harbour the suffering of dozens of races: residential schools, the Holocaust, Japanese-Canadian work camps,

Ukrainian work camps and the Irish Famine to name a few.

It is important these events and the lessons they need to instill are not forgotten but carrying ongoing grudges and teaching cultural separatism to the next generation is only going to ensure the world’s future looks the same as its past.

Currently, internationally, there is an ongoing debate over whether culture falls under the umbrella of intellectual property. What’s ironic is the Cultural Survival group, an organization advocating Indigenous Peoples’ rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures and political resilience, admits the biggest problem of the intellectual property argument is it is a western notion being applied to non-colonized western culture.

For those who are going to follow that argument while still complaining about about how cultural appropriation needs to end, I call you hypocrits.

One with a victim mentality cannot simply pick who is required to follow the rules and who does not based on what benefits them most.

Be wary of shady email notices

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER In the age of social media, fraudsters and thieves seem to have it made when it comes to ripping people off. In the olden days, crooks had to go to people’s homes and rip them off in person. But with email, texting and other social media resources, thousands of victims can be reached with the click of a button.

“These transactions will be irreversible and you will not be reimbursed if you do not comply within the next 24 hours. We thank you for your cooperation.

“Marc Hill, Risk Management Operator, Tangerine Security Departement.”

The editor doesn’t have a Tangerine online bank account, so the message obviously threw up red flags immediately. The “clicking here” link certainly goes to a phishing website where the criminals responsible for this email will collect legitimate bank account information from their victims. Also, someone as important as Marc Hill, Risk Management Operator, should know how to spell

Wetaskiwin RCMP spokesperson Cst. Holly Porterfield, after reading the email, noted the nature of the message is suspicious.

Screenshot “department” correctly.

The editor send the following response to Marc Hill on June 27: “Hi, this is the editor of The Pipestone Flyer newspaper.

“I would like to do a story about your fraudulent operation. Do you have someone who can call me?

“I just sent your email to the RCMP and a bank, both told me this is a scam.

“Please respond immediately, I’d love to put you in my newspaper. Thanks.” As of June 2, no response has arrived.

Wetaskiwin RCMP Wetaskiwin RCMP spokesperson Cst. Holly Porterfield, after reading the email, noted the nature of the message is suspicious.

“Here are some things that should raise some red flags,” noted Porterfield.

“Any urgent matters from your bank will not likely come via email, unless you have set it up that way.

“Your bank is more likely to send a letter in the mail requesting you attend your banking institution. You will not be given such a short amount of time to respond (24 hours).

“Look at the ‘From’ email address ‘greenshield.ca’ this does not seem to be related to Tangerine.

“Look for spelling errors, and the greeting only being your email address (the bank knows your name). If you hold your curser over the “Click Here” link it should show you what address the link is going to take you to, make sure that it is actually the correct one.

“There is no signature at the bottom of the letter. If you are unsure if the email is fraudulent then contact your bank directly,” added Porterfield.

Take the time to ‘Walk A Mile In Her Shoes’ SUBMITTED BY CAMROSE WOMEN’S SHELTER SOCIETY The Camrose Women’s Shelter Society invites all men to walk with us in our 5th Annual Walk a Mile in Her

Shoes® fundraiser during the Big Valley Jamboree Parade on Thursday, July 28th.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® is an international men’s march that started in 2001 with just a few participants and has become a world-wide movement with tens of

thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, and other educational and awareness programs. Although this is a fun event, the cause is a serious one as over 400 women and children from Camrose and its surrounding communities access the services of the shelter each year. It also provides an opportunity to inform the community of the valuable contributions men make to help bring an end to sexualized violence.

All walkers will be fitted with their own pair of red high heeled shoes. Sole City Shoes in Camrose will host a shoe distribution day (TBA) where walkers can try on their shoes and take them home. From past experience we know that many walkers appreciate receiving their shoes as soon as possible so they can display them and perhaps practice walking in them. We also encourage all participants to promote their own companies or organizations at the event by wearing company shirts or carrying company banners.

Along with the shoes, walkers will be supplied with a pledge sheet to gather sponsors. This year, all proceeds from the Walk will be in support of “raising the roof” as the Shelter is in need of a new roof. The Camrose Women’s Shelter Society is a registered charitable organization and all donations of $20 or more will be provided with a tax deductible receipt.

Walkers and volunteers are invited to join us immediately following the parade for a barbeque at our registration site in front of The Brick (50th St. & 51st Ave.).

To register for the Walk, or if you have questions or comments, please contact the Shelter at 780-679-4978 or email admin@camrosewomenshelter.org.

Pastoral thought for the week

BY JEFF KILMARTIN PASTOR, WIESENTHAL BAPTIST CHURCH A while ago a young man called me on the phone to talk about a new business scheme he had just got involved in. It was 10 p.m. and he talked to me until it was midnight. Finally, he stopped for a breath and asked me what I thought of the whole matter. I am not a businessman but I did have one cogent question. I asked him whether he felt this new venture might take him further away from God or closer to him.

For the next two hours – until 2 a.m.

– we talked about the things of God. He said later that he only consented to do this because I had listened to him for two hours already. I shared with him the good news about Jesus – that while he and I were sinners before a holy God, and only worthy of death, Jesus had come to take our punishment upon himself and free us from judgment so that we might live for God. It took him a week to think about these things, and seven days later he called me at the supper hour. “What can I do be born again?” he asked me. That was an easy matter. We prayed over the telephone, confessing his belief in Christ, his desire to turn from his old way of life, pleading that he might be forgiven, and begging God to come into his life.

As with all sincere requests of that nature, God heard his prayer and did as He was asked. The young man became a

Christian.

He was a drug addict at the time. He had been addicted to heroin for about 14 years or so. He had fallen in with the wrong crowd in high school, taking up drinking and drugs, and had continued on with it all those years. Now as a Christian man his life began to change.

One day, though, about six months after he had believed, he had an urge that he could not dismiss. He went downtown (he lived in Calgary), found a dealer, bought some of the stuff, and began to shoot

up. To his surprise and anger, nothing happened. He thought he had been cheated. But no – the drug was not at fault.

Something else had happened in his life, and the “high” that he had known simply had no more effect on him.

His life before knowing Jesus had been one of accumulating “toys.” He had a very fast sports car, a great home entertainment system, all the gadgetry that one could ask for. But once he was a Christian the appeal for those things simply dissolved in his life. They no longer inter-

ested him.

Another thing about his life – he could barely read. That was one of the reasons for his previous drug habit; his lack of reading ability gave him a very low self-esteem. He could not read a newspaper article with any understanding at all.

One day, about a week after he had become a Christian, I called him up and asked him how he was doing. “Oh, really great!” he said. It was a Sunday when I called him, so I asked him what he done on Friday, as I knew that particular evening would present its own challenges for him. “Well,” he replied, “since it was Friday I thought I should do something cool. So I got my Bible and started reading the Book of Revelation.” I was dumbfounded, and let him know it. How could he do that when his reading level was so low? He could not explain it. He just knew that when he picked up the Bible he could read with comprehension, but with other things there was no understanding.

(I should report that today he can read anything he pleases.)

Some folks think that they somehow need to “get cleaned up” or become better somehow before they become Christians.

My friend – and many millions just like him – shows that Jesus came precisely because we cannot clean ourselves up.

He himself makes us a new creation, and this is the gift of God to us.

THORSBY/BRETON DETACHMENT On June 6 Warburg School and Thorsby High School hosted the “Drive It Home Program�. The event was also hosted at Breton High School on June 9.

The program brought together numerous partners including Thorsby/Breton RCMP, Thorsby, Warburg, Breton Fire Departments, Y.E.I.L.D (Youth Initiatives and Education in Lifestyles and Driving) Program, the Office of Traffic Saftey, Alberta Health Services and Associated Ambulance.

The program was developed to speak to students in regards to high risk driving. Numerous dispalys were set up including a driving simulator, and a vehicle extraction. “YIELD� setup an interactive driving simulator which assisted in the understanding of the importance of paying attention while driving and the possible outcomes of driving distracted while texting, among other distractions.

The fire department provided an overview of the work first responders and firefighters are involved in during a crash scene including scene safety, vehicle extraction with the use of the Jaws-of-Life, among other life saving tools.

EMS provided a further understanding of the importance of wearing a seatbelt by describing in vivid detail what paramedics and EMT’s may have to do in order to keep a casualty alive after a serious crash where the individuals did not wear a seatbelt.

The Thorsby/Breton RCMP wants to thank all the stakeholder who assisted in the valuable event.

1. A Fire Permit gives authority to the permittee to set a fire according to the regulations and the terms and conditions printed on the Permit. Conditions stated on your fire permit must be strictly adhered to. You may be liable for fire suppression costs or penalties as provided by law for any damage that may occur while burning without a permit, or for failing to comply with the conditions as stated on your fire permit.

2. A Fire Permit DOES NOT relieve the holder from the responsibility of keeping that fire under control and extinguishing, if necessary.
