Arber Greenhouse, located south of Millet, hosted their annual craft sale Nov. 14. It was a major success, with huge crowds and traffi c parked all the way back to Highway #2A.

Anonymous group hosts community

Christmas dinnerWetaskiwin 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 780-361-4425 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 every-one gets a chance to help. “We have lots of guardian angels.”

Rachel Notley doesn’t set the price of oil

Are you a Facebook fa-natic? If you are, no doubt

BY STU SALKELDTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

you’ve seen the meme circulating of famed su-perhero 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

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, em-ployment problems, cost of living hikes, new taxes and other issues, may think you have it bad. But that’s nothing com-pared to Notley’s prob-lems. With a budget defi -

cit thick enough to choke a wooly mammoth and crude oil at a low that ap-parently won’t recover for years, no doubt there are plenty sitting around a table in Edmonton wring-ing their hands and mut-tering, “What are we to do? This looks bad.” Well, sharing clever memes on Facebook giving the im-pression 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, victim-ized Rachel alone?

Well, let’s look at it an-other way. Say, for exam-ple, you rent an apart-ment. It snows. It snows a lot. The building manager, newly hired, can see it’s snowing. The snow col-lapses the roof. You’re sitting on the sofa cov-ered in snow. The build-ing manager leans into the living room and says, “The building manager doesn’t make it snow.”

How can you argue with that logic?

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 in-formed 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.

I don’t gamble because money changes people

Working in communi-ty 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

BY STU SALKELDTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

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

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 gam-ble) but I’ve noticed that, when money is involved,

people change. Even peo-ple 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 sim-ple and cheap. We played a lot of cards.

One week, we decided to let one of our class-mates teach us the game “hearts.” Hearts, accord-ing to Wikipedia, is an “evasion-type” trick-tak-ing playing card game for four players, although variations can accommo-date 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 pen-nies, 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 cheat-ing. 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 es-sence, using your memo-ry 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 exam-ple, 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 con-sidered cheating.

I realize some people enjoy gambling, and know when to stop. Lottery, for example, ap-parently 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 some-body that they would lie to and cheat people who called him “friend.” So no more gambling of any sort when friends are in-volved as far as I’m con-cerned.

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

Over-coddled children are the future

I may be two or three holidays behind but when I recently read the news story that came out

BY AMELIA NAISMITHTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

Norfolk, England — in which a group of con-cerned citizens demanded the Advertising Standards Authority work to remove a series of scary clown posters from the commu-nity because they were distressing children — has only reaffi rmed my belief western and First World culture is headed for trou-ble. The future will con-tain a wave of over-cod-dled, 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 citi-zens calling for a restric-tion of advertising of a local event in a public space — censorship — but the posters weren’t any gorier or more inappro-priate than any of the vil-lains that can be found in today’s superhero movies.

There are many phras-es for this phenomenon today, a few including hyper-parents and heli-copter parents. There’s a difference between being supportive and being obsessive; between cud-dling 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 person-ally 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 capabil-ities and in turn can grow to become incompetent, under-confi dent adults.

Not only can this be-come a burden on so-ciety and those around them, but it’s also setting the child up for failure. Not only will they pos-sibly lack the emotional

maturity and knowledge to make informed deci-sions but they also won’t have the confi dence to positively move forward with that information without fi rst 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 par-ents should be taking a different approach and educating their kids on the difference between reality and imaginary.

Not that I’m condon-ing bombarding toddlers with images of Pennywise the Clown in hopes of desensitizing them is a good idea — sounds trau-matizing and some peo-ple simply do better with scary than others — but pushing a business to do away with their advertis-ing because it doesn’t fi t into your parenting plan is absurd.

At the very least travel down a different street.

Women of Aspenland 2015 celebration part 1

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 in-duction of Lou Klone, Dorothy French, and Florence Buffalo.

Florence Buffalo Florence Buffalo was a kind, generous and lov-

ing individual. Her many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, both biological and ad-opted, 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 fam-ily 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.

SUBMITTEDBY WETASKIWIN & DISTRICT HERITAGE MUSEUM

While living in Samson, Florence became in-volved 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

her head. She always ended her speeches with a joke and used humour to diffuse any tense situa-tion. 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 morn-ing, afternoon and night.

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

Wetaskiwin wrestlers earn medalsFor the fi rst time in years, Wetaskiwin Wrestling is of-

fering an elementary program, with girls and boys from Grades 1 to 6.

Mike Spinney, who teaches at WCHS and was the for-mer high school head coach for many, many years has brought new life to the program by dedicating one day a week to coaching a group of almost 20 youngsters.

On Nov. 21 weekend, 12 of the kids went to a Take Down Tournament hosted by the Edmonton Wrestling Club (take down, meaning no pins) where nine of the 12 received medals for their hard work. It’s been so reward-ing to see them achieve success after only a month of weekly practices!

Also, last weekend (Nov. 27 and 28) was the annu-al Wetaskiwin Wrestling Classic featuring junior high (Friday night) and high school (Saturday with Elite in the

afternoon).Due to high school ren-

ovations, the tourney will take place in the Drill Hall. Although the team has a very successful history of achievement, organizers are continuously trying to build up numbers on the team, so new recruits are always welcome.

For more information, please contact coach Shane Rybak via email or by phone at 780-362-1155.

It’s beginning

to look a lot like Christmas

Nowadays more and more beautiful Christmas lights are brightening the dark, winter nights.

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.

“Defi nitely 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.

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 an-other top three from the rural surround-ing area.

All participants are also entered for a draw grand prize draw. Gill says in the past the prize has been something sim-ilar 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 fi ve to seven years and Gill says if fi rst began with just a few people. “It’s growing … It seems to be growing every year.”

Council directs costs of unsightly premises to landownerSome on council feel tall grass unsuffi cient for bylaw action

After refusing to follow council’s direction on an un-sightly premises matter, a landowner in Buck Lake will have a $300 bill added to their taxes.

Wetaskiwin County CAO Frank Coutney says the coun-ty 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 fi re hazard.

BY AMELIA NAISMITHTHE PIPESTONE FYLER

While the work was already done and Rooyakkers says the county needs to recover it’s costs, members of coun-cil 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 offi cers. “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 offi cers are handling com-plaints according to how council set the bylaw.

“WE DID GET A BILL FROM A CONTRACTOR FOR DOING THE WORK. IT WAS $300.”WETASKIWIN COUNTY CAO FRANK COUTNEY

SPICERJason AngelOct.11, 1970 ~ Nov.12, 2015Jason 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 fl owers, 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.

Recently the City of Leduc was awarded a 2015 Communities in Bloom national Five Silver Blooms award for what has been dubbed by judges as a one-of-a-kind multi-way trail system.

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 trav-elled to communities across the county evaluating those involved on a series of factors, including; the overall contributions of municipal council and departments, in-dustry, businesses, the private sector and

volunteer efforts regarding tidiness, envi-ronmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape and fl oral dis-plays.

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 nu-merous 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.”
