VIEWPOINT - CONTINUED from PAGE 6 A cold analysis shows that Albertan sovereigntists face a significant battle. They don’t have three-quarters of all the favourable elements that Quebec sovereigntists had and still lost. For Alberta to achieve winning referendum conditions, it will take more than angry demonstrations. Speeding toward a failing referendum on independence next year would almost ensure a loss, which would leave Alberta weaker and less able to protect itself from a predatory anti-oil Ottawa and the destructive eco-nirvana movement. Even if the independence of Alberta were the right path, rushing to it can do the cause no favours.

Homestead Senior Citizens Lodge hosted its annual Christmas Dinner and Raffle for residents and family mem-
bers on December 15. There was a large buffet with festive food and dishes from every holiday. Anita and Friends, which is a local music group, performed old traditional and original country music for the crowd. The band is composed of Pearl Kuhn on vocals and guitar, Albert Stewart on fiddle, Jim Davis on vocals and guitar,
Brian Esak on bass. Fellow band member Anita Lemko, the other member of the band, was unable to attend the event. Santa paid a visit and handed out candy canes for all the residents. The event was a great opportunity for residents and their families to enjoy Christmas together. Funds from the raffle will be used for the residents comfort and care.
