Santa Claus spills some holiday must-haves

Despite coming up on his most hectic time of year, Santa Claus gra-ciously took some time out of his busy schedule to talk with the Leduc-Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer before getting back to work in his North Pole toy shop.

Santa Claus says in preparation for his big Christmas Eve fl ight he always makes sure to get a good night sleep; a solid eight hours. He also makes sure to eat a hearty breakfast in the morning and can head out immediately after-ward, while it’s still dark, to begin delivering toys.

“Porridge, that’s im-portant,” said Santa.

Everyone has their fa-vourite part of the hol-iday season and Santa Claus is no different. “I love this, being with the people.”

“Unless it’s kicking back after, having tur-key dinner,” he added.

Just days before his biggest night of the year, Santa Claus got all gussied up and skated with the children during a skate with Santa, held in Wetaskiwin on Dec. 21.

Santa says after a long flight and squeezing down all those chim-neys he loves being back at home with his much loved Mrs. Claus and in-viting all the elves over to the house for a turkey dinner.

The Christmas tunes are another instrumen-

tal part of Santa Claus’s holiday and two of his favourite song are Deck the Halls and especial-ly Jingle Bells, which he believes can be enjoyed all year long, as one can always fi nd a bell to ring.

When it comes to dec-orations tinsel is a must-have. “We decorate the

reindeer and they have tinsel on their antlers.”

Santa says Rudolph and the gang try to stand real still while they get decorated to look their most dashing.

Trees are also an im-portant factor in deco-rating and Santa says he likes to have live ones fl own in to the North Pole. “It’s just a good ex-cuse to get the sleigh out. We only get to fl y

one night a year. The reindeer like to get out and stretch their legs.”

When it comes to Christmas treats Santa Claus says he likes to stick with the classics and his most favourite is a good ol’ fashioned chocolate chip cookie. “Although Christmas time means get out the butter tarts.”

As time passes one Santa says he’s tried to

stay away from mod-ern technology as much as possible. “The elves, they understand how to use those things. Me, I’m mostly the fl yer. I go down chimney’s, I’m quiet.”

In his closing remarks Santa had a special mes-sage for the people of the world. “Remember to be nice to each other and treat each other nice all year long.”

Hypocrisy reaching new levels in legislature

After the provincial election last spring more than a few voters were sure they had made the correct choice by voting New Democratic Party. This group, thought the voters, is different than those penthouse-building PC’s or those highly quot-able Wildrose folks.

Change is good. Change encourages growth, learn-ing and progress. With the PCs obviously taking

Dear editor,Thousands of Albertans are losing their jobs and their

homes and all the provincial government can think of doing is to slap us with another tax. Dimwits.

The carbon tax idea was dreamed up by Trudeau Sr. in 1980. It brought Alberta to its knees and the rest of the country as well because the oil and gas industry buys bil-lions of dollars worth of material from other provinces.

Of course, Quebec was barely affected, Trudeau Sr. made sure of that. Even Stephen Harper said that a car-bon tax is nothing more than a tax grab and does noth-ing for the environment.

The new “Prince of Ottawa” is a joke among the other world leaders but he’s going to tell them how to manage their gas emissions. Double dimwit. It’s like a city boy with one year in agricultural school telling veteran farm-ers how to farm.

Looking at the provincial and federal governments, a movie comes to mind: Dumb and Dumber.

Ray Barrette, Winfi eld

Province, feds are ‘Dumb and

Dumber’

BY STU SALKELDTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

Albertans’ support for granted, change was not only needed, but also inev-itable. But have Albertans truly seen change since the NDP took power last spring?

The farm communi-ty exploded earlier this month after the NDP’s Bill 6 crashed the party. Why was Bill 6 such a shock to the farm com-munity? Well, regardless of whether you see Bill 6 as a harmless modern-ization of farm labor con-ditions, or an attempt by labor unions to get their hooks into the Alberta ag-riculture industry, there’s one thing that has to be agreed: the NDP govern-ment’s attempt at public consultation and aware-ness failed miserably.

The NDP followed this mistake up with another mistake that defi nes am-ateurism. As public con-sultation was neglected,

legislative consultation was also non-existent. As thousands of people protested around Alberta about Bill 6, Premier Rachel Notley announced on Dec. 8 that her major-ity government would in-voke closure; in essence, ramming Bill 6 through the legislature and closing debate. Wildrose Alliance opposition members, in-cluding leader Brian Jean, were eager to debate Bill 6, but Notley would have none of it.

Funny, because, as Wildrose pointed out, both Notley and fellow NDP’er Brian Mason were opposi-tion MLA’s, they hated the PC’s for doing the same thing. “This time alloca-tion thing is a way for the government to short-cir-cuit democracy. It doesn’t deserve being fi libustered, but it also doesn’t deserve having closure enforced,” said Brian Mason, May

2002, in the Edmonton Journal. “It’s clear that they still don’t get it be-cause now they plan to ram through an omnibus bill without written brief-ings to Assembly mem-bers and without listen-ing to Albertans,” said Rachel Notley, May 2014, Alberta Hansard (QP – Bill 12 Statutes Amendment Act). When the PC’s did it, that’s bad. When the NDP did it, that’s good?

The Wildrose folks also did a brilliant job last week of pointing out the NDP government’s appar-ent patronage practices at the MacDougall Centre in Calgary. The centre is the provincial government’s offi ce in Calgary.

Another long-time NDP supporter has been hired at the centre: NDP party president Chris O’Halloran was hired as outreach manag-er at McDougall Centre.

Again, as with the hir-ing of lifetime NDP man Bob Hawkesworth, it’s not clear why these peo-ple who are property of Notley’s party were hired over other Albertans who want or need the job.

In fact, Alberta’s pre-mier, as pointed out by Wildrose, apparently despised patronage ap-pointments before the last provincial election. As Wildrose pointed out last week, n opposition, Notley criticized the em-ployment of failed PC candidate Evan Berger as a decision, “that was made very much to bring on an old friend, an insid-er, and fi nd them a soft landing.” Good point.

So, have things changed in Alberta under the NDP? Have things changed in the legislature under Rachel Notley?

No. The hypocrites are still in charge.

OpinionElizabeth May speaks on

behalf of kooksOne thing that bothered

me about the last feder-al election is the way, on the national stage, many people were at pains to ensure Green Party leader Elizabeth May was given equal opportunity with the Liberal, PC and NDP.

The media, and the Green Party itself, should show respect for the fact Canadian voters choose not to vote Green. In the 41st federal election in 2011, the Green Party dropped to an 11 year na-tional low of 3.9 per cent of the popular vote; May herself was the only Green candidate elected in the

The Christmas season is here, unfortunately bring-ing with it an underlying sense of upheaval, unrest and uncertainty. Even as Canadians await the on-slaught of immigrants whom we have willingly opened our arms and our borders to, there remains a certain amount of trep-idation.

entire country, one seat out of 308 which equals 0.3 per cent of the Commons. The voters gave Greens one seat (May’s); even the Bloc Quebecois, a regional party, beat them. These are the results many wrongly felt owed Greens a place on the national stage.

As if popular vote isn’t enough to show that Canadians, in general, are not interested in the Green Party and the party doesn’t deserve, nor did they earn, special treatment, a bit closer examination of their leader, May, probably will.

Not surprisingly, May, a leftist, isn’t just a card-car-rying Green, she was ex-ecutive director of the Sierra Club of Canada for 17 years. The Sierra Club,

a special interest environ-mental lobby group, is de-fi ned by the website www.activistfacts.com, as “Once dedicated to conserv-ing wilderness for future human enjoyment, the Sierra Club has become an anti-growth, anti-technol-ogy, anti-energy group that puts its utopian environ-mentalist vision before the well-being of humans.”

Does May still buy into the Sierra Club 1960’s hippy Canadian-intellectual an-ti-American philosophy? Let’s look at something she did about one year ago in the House of Commons that CTV called “bizarre.”

On Dec. 3, 2014 May, in a supreme slap in the face to rational thinkers, stood up in the House of Commons and present-

ed a 9-11 denier petition which according to her came from Canadians in four provinces. The peti-tion inferred the entire 9-11 tragedy was staged by the American government in order to justify foreign wars, in essence. The 9-11 kooks and nuts ponder, for example, why the Twin Towers fell straight down. It’s not clear where exactly the towers were supposed to fall, if not down.

9-11 conspiracy theories have been thoroughly de-bunked by a number of critical thinkers, scientists and skeptics. One claim, for example, that 9-11 must have been state-sponsored terrorism is that no jetlin-er parts were recovered. In reality, lots of parts were recovered. Also, jetliners

are made out of alumi-num. Aluminum is fl am-mable. Yes, that’s correct. Aluminum burns, espe-cially when it crashes into a building at 400 miles per hour and then doused in explosive jet fuel. Most of the jetliner’s components were reduced to ash.

Regardless, May wrapped herself in the fl ag and said she had no choice but to present the petition as a Member of Parliament. May told CTV, “It is an obli-gation of an MP to present every petition submitted to them.”

Of course no such obli-gation exists. The House of Commons procedure and practice rules note that, essentially, MPs choose which petitions they bring forward, if any.

May insulted the in-tegrity of the House of Commons with the stunt, and damaged not only her own reputation among rational thinkers, but the reputation of the Green Party as well.

Despite the waste of taxpayer dollars through a waste of Parliament’s time, perhaps May, her party and her petition-ers have entertainment value to offer. The next petition could demand na-tional laws to protect the Ogopogo, a prohibition on Bigfoot lurching around without pants on or a stat-utory holiday every month to go UFO sighting.

history to repeat itself and the majority is more than willing to open their bor-ders to strangers in need. And so they should!

In 1939, 907 Jewish ref-ugees aboard the transat-lantic liner St. Louis were seeking sanctuary from Nazi Germany. Canada re-fused to take them and the ship sailed back to Europe, where 254 would later die in concentration camps. Their fate could have, no doubt, been avoided if Canada had not turned a blind eye to their plight. Canada is not turning its back on these refugees coming across its borders now and all over the na-tion people are exhibiting kindness and compassion.

But in spite of this Canadian welcoming com-mittee, there exists a cer-tain amount of fear and suspicion, triggered, no

doubt, by the Paris shoot-ings and, most recently, the horrible mass execu-tion that took place at sim-ple staff Christmas party in California. And so the evil and the violence, like a malignant tumor grows silently and Canadians in spite of their desire to fol-low the golden rule and do onto others as they would have others do onto them, are left feeling more than just a little nervous.

In spite of the hatred and the horror that continues to rock the world, there is really no option but to do the right thing and to keep the faith that the light of goodness will obliterate the senseless acts of ter-rorism. According to an Internet article, William Lyon Mackenzie King, who was prime minster of Canada at the time the ship carrying the Jewish

people sailed close to Halifax, wrote to Frederick Blair, who was the immi-gration offi cer at the time, saying he was consider-ing the request to take in the immigrants. However, Blair was strongly op-posed, and, in the face of such opposition, the prime minster did not pursue the issue further. Interestingly, not everyone agreed with the immigration minister or the prime minister’s de-cision.

University of Toronto history professor George Wrong petitioned King to grant sanctuary to the refugees and the non-Jew-ish German captain of the St. Louis, Capt. Gustav Shroeder. Capt. Shroeder argued first with the Cuban authorities, then those of neighbouring Caribbean countries and fi nally with American au-

thorities to let the refugees land. There is no record of him lobbying Canada, but still he did not give up on helping his Jewish passen-gers.

Steaming back toward Europe, he promised his passengers he wouldn’t return them to Nazi Germany, even going so far as to plan to run his ship aground on the English coast if no safe port could be found. Promising not to take them back to Nazi Germany, the captain fi -nally found countries who waved a welcoming fl ag for desperate strangers. At the last moment, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Great Britain accepted the refugees and the boat landed its human cargo in Antwerp, Belgium.

However, as fate would have it, Belgium, France and the Netherlands were

later taken over by Nazi Germany. Many of the pas-sengers were taken away and put in concentration camps. But, when the war was over, the captain and his kindness was not for-gotten by the surviving Jewish passengers. These grateful people sent him money and food so he could survive in a war torn and broken Germany.

In 1957, two years be-fore his death, the German government awarded him a medal for his services to those same passengers. This history lesson is here to remind us that kind-ness, like evil, can be found in unexpected places. It is up to us to decide where we want to look and which one we want to offer.

Women of Aspenland 2015

celebration

On October 18th, 1929, Alberta’s Famous Five (Emily Murphy, Irene Parlby, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, and Henrietta Edwards) succeeded in having Canadian women de-fi ned as “persons” under law. To celebrate this, and coinciding with Women’s History Month

each October, women from this community are inducted into the Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum’s Women of Aspenland ex-hibit. Now in its 19th year, and consisting of 85 “per-sons”, this project show-cases the lives of local women who embody the heart of Wetaskiwin city, county, and Maskwacis. At Heritage Museum on Saturday, October 17 the community celebrat-

ed the induction of Lou Klone, Dorothy French and Florence Buffalo.

Lillian “Lou” Klone:This fantastic woman

is more commonly known as Lou and she carries the title of friend, mother, artist and vol-unteer with pride. Not one to shun hard work, Lou has spent the major-ity of her life helping to build the community of Wetaskiwin through her volunteer work

Lou was born 12 miles west of Wetaskiwin on March 21, 1923, the sec-ond child of Theodore and Maria Fietz. The Fietz family was born and raised in the Wetaskiwin district and her child-hood was spent work-ing hard on her family’s farm. Her day typically consisted of waking up early to help with chores before eating and head-ing off to school.

She attended the Big Stone School from Grades 1 to 8, until she decided to put her educa-tion on hold to look after her younger sister Ruby when her mother took ill. Even at a young age, she was very family orient-ed as she watched over Ruby for three months while her father did the harvesting as her mother recovered.

At the age of 17, Lou Fietz met her hus-band-to-be Ben Klone

at a church social. They dated for two years prior to tying the knot in 1940. Ben and Lou were married in the rebuilt Emmaus church and were said to be a well-matched couple with similar backgrounds and even temperaments.

The Klones had two children, Doreen and Don. Doreen was born in 1941 with her broth-er following fi ve years later in 1946. Lou’s chil-dren were raised on the

farm and were never idle. Don and Doreen stress that their mother raised them never to say neg-ative things about other people, as well as teach-ing them the importance of family. As a fami-ly, they would often go camping at Pigeon Lake and Zeiner’s, and were known for travelling in comfort. The Klone fami-ly knew it was important to balance hard work and fun.

Lou’s community in-volvement began once her family moved to Wetaskiwin in 1952. She had switched from the Emmaus Lutheran Church to the Zion Lutheran Church. Her work for the Zion Lutheran involved becoming a part of the Ladies Aid Guild, Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, teaching Sunday school for three years, and join-ing Zion’s choir for 10. Lou was also involved in the planning of fu-neral luncheons, creat-ing arrangements for sales, and running fund-

raisers. Let us not forget her work for the Seniors Centre, Twilighters, and Communities in Bloom, as well as various com-munity events where she let her artistic fl air fl our-ish.

A kind woman to the core, Lou has a penchant for celebrating others and helping where she can. At this year’s Pioneer of the Year Celebrations, Lou brought a gift for her friend Dorothy Brekke, who was being honoured that night. Her kindness does not stop there as Lou has repeatedly of-fered to help the muse-um by donating items for exhibits. Thank you Lou.

As busy as she is, Lou Klone continues to ex-tend her hand to any-one who needs it. Not one to let age slow her down, Lou’s dedication to her community is com-mendable. Lou’s com-passion, selflessness, and fl air for style render her an unforgettable and warm-hearted woman. If not for her, Wetaskiwin would not be the colour-ful place it is today.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING INVITATION

PIGEON LAKE FEEDER COOP ASSOCIATION

DATE: Thursday January 7th, 2016LOCATION: Falun Community Centre Hall, 1 Mile West of Junc. Hwy. 795 & Hwy 13TIME: 7:30 pm

Holiday traditions from around the worldChristmas and the holiday season is popular and

well-known in North America but in some other countries around the world is celebrated quite dif-ferently.

Australia:Australians hang wreaths on their front doors

and sometimes go out Christmas carol singing on Christmas eve. People decorate their houses and gar-dens with Christmas Trees and Christmas lights.

Australians also decorate their houses with bunches of “Christmas Bush”, a native Australian tree with small green leaves and cream coloured fl owers. In summer the fl owers turn a deep shiny red over a period of weeks (generally by the week of Christmas in Sydney).

Croatia:In Croatia, preparations for Christmas start on

25th November which is St Catherine’s day. People also celebrate Advent. Over 85 per cent of people in Croatia are Catholic so Advent is an important time for them.

It’s traditional to have an Advent wreath made of straw or evergreen twigs which has four candles. The wreath symbolizes endlessness and the four candles symbolize different parts of history and life:

First Candle (purple): creation - hopeSecond Candle (purple): embodiment - peaceThird Candle (pink): redemption - joyFourth Candle (purple): ending - loveA fi fth candle is sometimes added in the center

which is lit on Christmas Day! You can buy wreaths, but many people like to make them. People also often have a paper Advent Calendar.

Ethiopia:Ethiopia (and especially the Ethiopian Orthodox

Church) still use the old Julian calendar, so they cel-ebrate Christmas on January 7th, not December 25th. The Christmas celebration in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is called Ganna. Most people go to Church on Christmas day.

Many people fast on Christmas Eve. At dawn on the morning of Ganna, people get dressed in white. Most people wear a traditional garment called a shamma. It’s a thin white cotton piece of cloth with brightly colored stripes across the ends.

Hong Kong:In Hong Kong, Chinese Christians celebrate

Christmas with Church services in Chinese. At the Anglican Cathedral, some services are held in English, because Europeans who live and work in Hong Kong attend them as well as people from Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, people also send Christmas cards, many of which are home made using Chinese craft techniques.

Poinsettias fl owers and Nativity scenes decorate homes, churches and public places, as well as big red and gold letters from the Chinese alphabet on deco-rated streamers and paper chains.

In Hong Kong, Father Christmas/Santa Claus, is known as “Sing Daan Lou Yan” (Christmas Old Man) in Cantonese or “Sheng Dan Lo Ren” in Mandarin. Most people in Hong Kong speak Cantonese and would use “Sing Daan Lou Yan”.

Every year in Hong Kong there is a “Winterfest”. It’s a huge winter party that involves the shops, theme parks and other attractions in Hong Kong.

Jamaica:Christmas is a very special time in Jamaica and like

a lot of other countries, radio stations play carols all through the Christmas period.

Lots of people paint their houses and hang new curtains and decorations for Christmas. Most fami-lies spend Christmas Day at home with friends and family members.

The Christmas day meal is usually prepared on Christmas Eve. The traditional Jamaican Christmas meal include fresh fruits, sorrel and rum punch and meat. The Christmas Day breakfast includes ackee and saltfish, breadfruit, fried plan-tains, boiled bananas, freshly squeezed fruit juice and tea. Dinner is usually served in the late afternoon and this may include chicken, curry goat, stewed oxtail, rice and peas.

Japan:C h r i s t m a s has only been

widely celebrat- ed in Japan for the last few decades. It’s still not seen as a religious holi- day or celebration as there aren’t many Christians in Japan. Now several customs that came to Japan from the USA such as sending and receiv-ing Christmas cards and presents are popular.

In Japan, Christmas in known as more of a time to spread happiness rather than a religious cel- ebration. Christmas eve is often cele- brated more than Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is thought of as a ro- mantic day, in which couples spend together and exchange pres-ents. In many ways it resembles Valentine’s Day celebrations in the United Kingdom or the United States.

Macedonia:Most Christians in Macedonia belong to

the Orthodox Church and so Christmas is cel-ebrated on January 7th.

Christmas celebrations really start on 5th January which is called “Kolede”. On this day people, espe-cially children, like to go carols singing around their neighbors. They are given fruits, nuts and coins.

When the singing has fi nished people gather around big bonfi res. They are sometimes held in parks where hundreds of people can go to see them. Others like smaller events where the local community comes together.

Portugal:Father Christmas (“Pai Natal”) is believed to

bring presents to children on Christmas Eve, rather than Christmas Day. The presents are left under the Christmas Tree or in shoes by the fi re-place. However, some people say that the presents are brought by the Baby Jesus rather than Father Christmas.

Like in Spain, the traditional Christmas meal in Portugal, called “Consoada”, is eaten during the evening of Christmas Eve and consists of cod-fi sh with green vegetables and boiled potatoes.

This is normally followed by shellfi sh, wild meats or other expensive foods.

After the meal, people go to church for the “Missa do Galo” or “Mass of the Rooster” service. During the service an image of baby Jesus is brought out, and everyone queues up to kiss it. It is then put in the nativity scene (the presépio) that every church

will have. After the service people return home and open their presents.

Sri Lanka :Although Sri Lanka is a mostly Buddhist

country (only seven per cent of people are Christians) Christmas is celebrated as a public holiday by everyone. Most Christians in Sri Lanka are Catholic. There has been infl uences from sev-eral different European countries.

For Christians in Sri Lanka, the Christmas sea-son starts on December 1 when people let off fi re crackers at dawn.

The streets are decorated and the shopping centres have large Christmas Trees in them. Big

companies have Christmas parties and large ho-tels have Christmas dinner dances.

Zambia:Many churches in Zambia have nativity plays

and a crib in the church. One or two days before Christmas, Zambians like to go carol singing around the local streets for charity.

On Christmas day, children are encouraged to bring a present to church for children who are in hospital or might not get a present because they are less fortunate. After church, on Christmas day, it is a custom that all the children go to one house and all the adults go to another house to have a party and to eat.

Wetaskiwin County increases subdivision user fees

A 5 per cent increase to the West Central Planning Agency (WCPA) 2016 budget was ap-proved by Wetaskiwin County council at its Dec.

15 meeting.This will increase the

county’s per capita con-tribution from $3.43 to $3.60, based on a 2011 population census of 10,866.

Along with $500 base fee, this lands the coun-

ty’s contribution to WCPA at $39,617. This amount will be included in the County’s 2016 budget de-liberation process.

The increase comes after Rimbey decided to drop their support going to WCPA. “Part of that in-

crease is change in mem-bership,” said CAO Frank Coutney.

Coun. Garry Dearing says as long as the coun-ty sees a similar number of subdivisions in 2016 as it did in 2015 Wetaskiwin County will can easily

handle the changes.“It’s based on user fee

… It’s hard to budget when you have external factors,” said Dearing.

“If we have a good year we’ll have a minimal in-crease to the budget,” he added.

Pigeon Lake Chamer of Commerce receives less funding than hoped

Wetaskiwin County council has approved $7,500 to the Pigeon Lake Chamber of Commerce as it’s annual funding contribution.

According to two presentations made by the cham-ber earlier this fall, it was hoping for $10,000, which would be used to enhance services to members and the business community as a whole, as well as fund

initiatives that will position the Pigeon Lake Region in a positive light.

“I still like the $7,500,” said Coun. Larry McKeever.“In my view they have to be more inclusive and get

more networking,” he added.McKeever feels if the chamber is able to do that and

gain more membership council can possibly look at $10,000 in the future. Or, if chamber efforts do not go well council could move down to $5,000.
