Reading old letters can be fun BY BOB MAYNARD THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Photos by Amelia Naismith

Reading old letters can be fun. In my own collection. I have about 200 letters written by my mother, father, grandfather, and an aunt. It is amazing how soon you can decipher words and letters that you thought were unreadable when you first look at them. That letter “S” which is the beginning of a name that defeated you at the start of the reading, by the time you have been reading several pieces you will get to know what it is. Sometimes you will find pages are numbered and when the pages are full, they will write in any space, even down the margins. During both world wars, writing paper was hard to find and was expensive. Therefore space was of great value. I have several letters like this and to find which pages go where may not always be straightforward.

Grant Callies celebrates a good drive during the 20th Annual Pigeon Lake Ice Golf Tournament and Banquet, March 12.

You should try to find out as much as possible about the people, places and events mentioned in the letter or diary. This should be the really enjoyable part and you will be involved in a good deal of detective work. When reading letters and diaries, you can get a glimpse what was going on with your ancestors like where they lived, who they visited and what was happening in their area. Now with the age of computers, you can scan, save and compile them. What I do is separate and put each page in a double sided acid proof shelve and then put them into a binder which keeps them safe and dry. Do not use rubber bands or paper clips as the rubber will rot and the clips will rust. Till next time. Bob Maynard is a local historian and genealogist, and will be writing a monthly column about the topic in The Leduc/ Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer.

‘Earth Hour’ should be unnecessary

Editor

Inside Sales

Pipestone Flyer

BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Earth hour is coming up soon, and it behooves every resident in the Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer’s circulation area to pitch in and help reduce energy waste. A press release from the City of Leduc noted “the 2016 FortisAlberta Earth Hour Challenge is simple: residents, businesses and institutions are encouraged to turn off all non-essential lights, appliances and electronic devices for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on March 19.”

The logic and reasoning behind Earth Hour can’t be disputed. With smart phones, tablets, laptops, satellite TV, DVRs, powerful video game consoles and much more, the demand on the power grid must be greater than ever before. On top of that, there is a lot of waste in North American society, especially when it comes to the power grid. Perhaps with the economic situation the way it is in Alberta right now, the average consumer will be more interested in energy conservation. To be honest, proper and responsible energy conservation really doesn’t ask a lot from the average person, and if more people made some simple changes maybe Earth Hour wouldn’t even be necessary. Here are some tips for the home: Seal windows: It’s an age-old fact that much of the lost energy from a home escapes through old,

cracked, badly sealed windows. Do-it-yourselfers can seal things up themselves with some calking or weather-stripping, but older homes may need new energy-efficient windows. The cost outlay usually pays for itself in the long run with noticeably lower heat or air conditioning bills. Maintain the furnace: Your home’s furnace is engineered to have a new, fresh filter in it. If the filter is old and gummed up, it will usually make the furnace work harder. Replacement filters can cost as little as $5 and should be changed a few times a year. It doesn’t hurt to have an expert look at the furnace on a regular basis. Use efficient light bulbs: Nowadays consumers have an impressive array of options for efficient lighting. If means allow, use florescent or even LED lighting, which is far more energy efficient than tradi-

tional incandescent bulbs; you’ll see a big difference on your power bill. If you have to use incandescent, move down one wattage. Instead of 100w, use 60w; instead of 60w, use 40w. Use energy efficient appliances: Everybody knows someone who has a beer or beverage fridge in their den, pool room or garage. Usually, the fridge is a decrepit old antique that sucks energy and adds considerably to the power bill. The same goes for deep freezes, laundry machines and dishwashers. If they’re needed, replace them with newer energy-efficient models (again, they’ll pay for themselves in the long run). When it comes to a dishwasher, consider getting rid of the appliance entirely and wash dishes in the sink with soapy water. Use common sense: A lot of power and heat can be saved by using common sense. Turn lights off if no

one is in the room. Don’t leave electronics running all day and night if unnecessary. Leave the heat or air conditioning set at a specific level rather than cranking them up or down regularly and wear a sweater if you get a chill. There’s another, more subtle benefit to being energy efficient that doesn’t necessarily involve giving the environment a rest when it comes to pollution and greenhouse gases. If more Albertans and Canadians were energy efficient there would be obvious societal benefits, not the least of which would be not having to listen to Justin Trudeau and David Suzuki lecture about climate change and pat themselves on the back as if they’re saving the world. Apparently they don’t drive anywhere in a gasoline-powered vehicle. Now that would be a very attractive way to cut down on hot air.

Dear editor, First of all to the NDP supporters, we know that the price of oil is being manipulated by OPEC, which we cannot control. It is the conduct of this government and its policies that are worsening things. The NDP got a majority government only from the vote splitting. The majority of votes were not for the NDP or its policies. The NDP hired Kevin Davediuk to be chief government advisor for upcoming negotiations with the Alberta Union of Public Employees and public sector unions across the province. Notley’s husband Lou Arab works for AUPE and Davediuk was a negotiator for AUPE until this hiring. Where is the impartiality? Of course he is going to favour the unions, not look out for the taxpayer’s interests. Of course Gil McGowan and the Alberta

Federation of Labour endorsed this. It’s nice to see a newspaper be open and publish letters to the editor. I’ve noticed other Leduc county papers have been reluctant to print letters that criticize the NDP or it’s actions. I have friends and relatives who farm and I found it disgusting how the NDP government went about forcing Bill 6 into law without allowing their input. Even now the NDP is handpicking who will be able to have input. I do not recall Notley mention or campaign on Bill 6, the carbon tax or that she would fly to the U.S., Paris or Quebec to criticize Alberta oil. If Notley and the NDP were truly concerned about the environment, the very first thing they should do is put an immediate stop to Edmonton’s (and other cities’) land

grab of number one soil. Agriculture Canada statistics state that only five per cent of Canada’s land is arable and that only 0.5 per cent of that land has number one soil. If the NDP truly cares about the future environment and our food supply, then do not allow that prime land to be destroyed and paved over. There is a lot of poor soil that can be built on. A look at federal government soil maps will confirm that. On Mar. 8 I went to the rally at the legislature organized by George Clark to protest Bill 6, the carbon tax and the NDP government itself. There was a massive number of police brought in and people were forced back of the front steps just because we oppose the NDP. The government refused to allow the use of a P.A. system so people tried to use a megaphone. Then the

12 o’clock musical chime, which on other occasions only plays around six minutes, was left playing for over 20 minutes because George was speaking. Some people went over to the sheriffs and asked why that music had to be kept playing, the NDP are just being ignorant. Later they finally shut off the music. People went to protest policies, not be violent. People had young children with them and were tolerant of the dozen or so Notley supporters. It was only when a Notley supporter started screaming a nonstop barrage of “F” words at George and in front of young children, that the crowd began chanting “Get him out.” It took about two minutes of chanting before the police finally moved in and escorted him away. Even though Edmonton television stations and other media were there,

they did not report the disgusting conduct of NDP supporters. Instead, they showed shots of the crowd after most people had left, and downplayed the number of people who were there. Tuesday night City TV dinner show hosts said “People couldn’t even spell signs right, so what does that say?” Yes, there were some signs that had misspelling but it was done on purpose for ironic effect. But then maybe irony is beyond their comprehension. Also, there’s a European environmentalist study claiming that the planting of spruce and pine conifers is absorbing more of the sun’s heat and this also increases global warming. Next step, watch Notley order the clear-cutting of all pine and spruce trees in Alberta!

PIPESTONE FLYER 5

Opinion How to be a dad BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Many moons ago I was dating a single mom I will call “Carmen.” Carmen’s son “R.J.,” who aged 6 to 10 years while I was in the picture, and I got along very well. R.J. and I became friends, and although I never considered myself a “kid” person, we probably clicked because I tend to behave in a juvenile manner. R.J. had a problem. He didn’t know how to ride

a bike, even though he really wanted to. I’m not sure why he didn’t have the skill; he had a father, mother and older sister, plus aunts, uncles and cousins who could all help him learn. My girlfriend’s ex-husband, the Dad, told R.J. that he would reward his son with a Playstation video game console if R.J. learned how to ride a bike. This blew me away. I thought dads were supposed to do things with their kids, such as teach them to ride a bike and show a boy how to be a man. There are all kinds of things wrong with this “deal,” including the absence of a dad from a kid’s life, the fact that such an offer tells the kid Dad isn’t interested in the kid’s life and that bribes can take the place of parenting. I took it on myself to help R.J. learn how to

ride a bike. I was reminded of this episode of my life this past week when I saw a course promoted on a few websites in the area: the Kid’nection Workshop. It’s described as, “(a workshop that) will provide information for fathers about a dad’s role and their relationship with their kids.” Now, I’m not saying I have a problem with a class that teaches fathers that they should behave like fathers. What I have a problem with is that a workshop like this is needed in the first place. Are some Alberta fathers neglecting their responsibilities? The workshop was offered in Leduc by the Alberta Father Involvement Initiative, an organization I’d never heard of. According to their website, “With the direction from the Alberta Network for

Safe and Healthy Children, the Alberta Home Visitation Network and Alberta Health Services, the Alberta Father Involvement Initiative continues its plan. This plan works on increasing the awareness of the initiative and will assist fathers and service providers with resource and training development.” On the AFII website, a recent research project, the Alberta Men’s Survey, was mentioned. Then things started to make sense. The men’s survey was conducted last year by some U of C folks, gathering input from around Alberta. The AFII stated the survey has “the goal of better understanding what men need in order to develop and maintain healthy relationships free of violence and abuse, and healthy personal well-be-

ing.” It’s no secret Alberta has a domestic violence problem that spans age, income, race religion or other demographics. On the Edmonton Police Service website it’s stated “As of December 31, 2014, there were approximately 7,849 events throughout the city that had a domestic violence component.” That’s just one year in one city. Further, results of the survey are available online at albertamen.com. They are quite eye opening. The responses were tabulated from 2,425 Alberta men who responded to the survey. When asked “Do men sometimes need support for their own well-being and to have healthy relationships?,” 96 per cent said “Yes.” However, nearly three out of four who responded said they don’t

know of available services and supports in their community that help men with personal well-being and relationship issues. Nearly one in three men said societal/cultural expectations about being a man would prevent them from accessing support anyway. There was also information about how finances, family conflict, addictions and unsatisfactory career were keeping some men from personal well-being. Kudos to those organizing the Kid’nection Workshop, and hopefully other programs like it to help fellows who need some advice. And if some guy down the street doesn’t like it, to hell with him. Stu Salkeld is the new editor of the Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer and writes a regular column for the paper.

Capital punishment isn’t always uncalled for

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER James Clifford Paul, the young man who plead guilty to aggravated assault and sexually assaulting a seven year old girl in 2014, will find out his fate in April 2016. According to a March 7 Global News report, both the Crown and Defense are seeking a 10-year sentence. There is not enough

time in the world this man could serve that would be adequate punishment for what he’s done. In December 2014 the little girl was airlifted to hospital in critical condition after being sexually assaulted and beaten. She remained in a coma for several days and is now in a specialized foster home receiving multiple types of therapy. The girl sustained severe brain injury, needs round-the-clock care and may suffer from PTSD. Despite the fact Canada completely abolished capital punishment in 1998 this is an option that should seriously be considered for offenders like Paul. In 2013 a country-wide poll revealed 63 per cent of Canadians supported re-instating the death penalty. Many feel the death penalty will deter homicide and other brutal

crimes. However, in western societies homicide rates have remained stable or decreased. For those who have the urge to kill are so inebriated they commit heinous crimes — as Paul was (drunk and high on crystal meth) — they probably aren’t even thinking about consequences. So how can something not even on their mind influence their actions? It’s about safety, responsibility and justice. Sure, they may be genuinely sorry for what they’ve done but that doesn’t change the facts. Like everyone, they must be held accountable for their actions and being impaired doesn’t excuse that. The consequences must fit the crime and not fail the real victims. In the Global News story Paul is quoted saying he prays for the girl and her family every day. So what?

What a passive, useless way of trying to make amends and soften others’ opinion of him to that of a wayward but good and remorseful man. Paul may not have killed the little girl but he still took her life. He took the life she was poised to have and stole the potential she and her family spent seven years cultivating. While there are advantages to capital punishment, including: condemnation for serious and brutal crimes, elimination of those offenders repeating, modern DNA technology reduces the chance of punishing innocents, addressing overcrowding in prisons and help give closure to those deserving, there are also disadvantages. Even with technology there’s always the possibility of error, death penalty prosecutions and pro-

cesses are more expensive than a life term, and not all jury members can remain impartial to race and religion. But Paul has already admitted he committed the crime and no matter what his race may be the facts of what he did stay the same. Governments, as elected civil servants, have a responsibility to protect their people. Subjecting Paul to the death penalty may in turn take his life but he made the choice to get drunk and high and harm a child. That little girl wasn’t the only victim of Paul’s crime. Her family is suffering in the aftermath and even his own family had to leave their home due to treats. How ethical is it to let him spend 10 years in a regulated facility where he’s fed three meals a day and others are obligated to ensure his safety when the

little girl had the quality of life she was meant to enjoy robbed from her? How can governments continue to support and fund other forms of death, such as war, where it’s brave men and women dying and not consider capital punishment in certain situations? Is it because members of the Canadian Armed Forces chose to join? Paul made a choice too and by allowing any leniency the message is being sent his life holds more value than hers. If he spent the rest of his life doing good deeds it wouldn’t return that little girl to the state she was in before the attack. His life caused the destruction of another.

Dormaar: Six minutes to gold SUBMITTED BY CARI MCDONNELL WETASKIWIN WRESTLING It was an emotional six minutes as Jakob Dormaar wrestled a fantastic match for the gold medal at this weekend’s ASAA High School Provincial Championships in Sherwood Park.

In the past 20 years, Wetaskiwin Composite High School brought home the provincial team banner 10 times. This season the team championship was not in reach with only a two-man team. Unfortunately, small numbers this season were made worse by losing

rookie Allen Paquette to illness and veteran Taylor Murray to injury. The school pride was left to be shouldered by Sabres rookies Jakob Dormaar 65kg division and Kjel Gusdal 76kg division competing in their first high school provincial championships.

Dormaar battled his way through the preliminary matches but at one point was relegated to the B-side of the draw by a tough Calgary opponent who caught him a little off guard in the match with a tight leg lace. Dormaar was able to regroup and win the necessary remaining matches to get to the finals. In the finals the rookie grade 10 Dormaar faced off against Grade 12 wrestler Homer Pineda of Crescent Heights High School (Calgary) for the gold medal. Jakob started the first round off a little slow trailing Pineda 3-0 at halftime but came out on a mission in the second round shutting down Pinedea’s offence and running up the score 11-3 for himself. Fast feet, defensive hands and continued attacks earned Dormaar his first provincial title. “It’s a huge accomplishment to win provincials; but even more so being able to do it in grade 10. I would credit this to Jakob’s dedication and exceptional work ethic” said coach Shane Rybak. For Gusdal, the competition ended without a placing after being eliminated in the preliminary rounds. Some personal satisfaction was garnered for Gusdal however who was seconds away from defeating the eventual gold medal winner in the preliminaries, just getting caught in a mistake in the match. Coaches Rybak and Shamus McDonnell also coached Leduc wrestler Cashton Harvey, who was also eliminated in the preliminary rounds. With only three Grade 10 wrestlers competing, coaches Rybak and McDonnell were ecstatic when their modest expectations were blown away by Dormaar’s gold. While Gusdal and Harvey did not place, they continue on a path to success as young wrestlers. Dormaar’s next tournament will be the Alberta Opens April 2 to qualify him to compete as a first year cadet at wrestling nationals later that month.

Each individual or team is presented with a smaller personal plaque and the larger ones are proudly displayed in the community. “We unveil a big plaque that’s placed in the Wetaskiwin Arena,” said Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame president Sandy Wright. “They were chosen for their accomplishments and what awards they’ve won,” said Wright.

for competitive sports and learned how to play hockey and baseball. The skills he developed allowed him to play on teams across Alberta and in Europe. Hodgson passed his love of the game on to his grandchildren as well as other youths of Maskwacis. When not playing sports he remained involved through coaching, mentoring other coaches, mentoring youths and working in hockey schools. One of Hodgson’s largest accomplishments as an athlete is scoring the fastest three goals in competitive hockey. In 1956 he scored three goals in 20 seconds while playing for the Ponoka Stampeders. From 1955 to 1956 the Stampeders also won the provincial title and the Western Canada Championships. Hodgson received offers to play minor professional hockey in Omaha and Fort Wayne but chose to play professionally in England, where his team travelled to Amsterdam, the occupied Czech Republic and Germany. In his later years Hodgson continued to play on many seniors teams, both locally and internationally as well as follow his grandsons blooming hockey careers at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Natalie Reimer Anderson During her volleyball career at Wetaskiwin Composite High School and the University of Winnipeg Reimer Anderson won three provincial and two Canadian championships. She was female athlete of the year three times, was awarded all-conference three times, tournament all-star at the Canadian level four times, all-Canadian twice and academic all-Canadian four times. Reimer Anderson finished her volleyball career

playing professionally. During Reimer Anderson’s Grade 12 year her volleyball team moved to the 4A level and began competing against much larger schools. In 1991, as a member of the team, she was inducted into the Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame. While playing for the University of Winnipeg Wesmen Reimer Anderson was named to the all-conference team and during the years 1993 to 1996 the Wesmen reached the Canadian university championships. Reimer Anderson was named to the all-Canadian team twice and was a Canadian tournament allstar in each of the three years. She also was awarded the National Tournament Sportsmanship Recognition Award in 1996. In 1996, her graduating year, she was the Great Plains Conference Female Athlete of the Year, the GPAC nominee for Canadian University Athlete of the Year and was named the University of Winnipeg Female Athlete of the Year. After graduating Reimer Anderson spent two years playing professionally in a European league in Esmonz Portugal in 1997 and MaylanLa Tranche France in 1998. Following that she continued to be involved by coaching at high school, college and university levels. Phyllis and Bob Cleland The Cleland’s have been involved in curling and ball for most of their lives as well as well as being involved in youth sports at a community level. Both Phyllis and Bob were ball competitors. From 1965 to 1985 Phyllis pitched for various Wetaskiwin ladies teams. Her teams won several berths to the provincials and in 1975 won the provincial silver medal.

Athletes, sports community contributors to be inducted into local Hall of Fame Continued from page 8 Bob played ball for Wetaskiwin teams in the 1960’s and 1970’s as well as other teams in the area. In 1997 Bob was a member of the Falun men’s slopitch team that represented Alberta at the Canadian Slo-pitch Championships. In men’s slo-pitch Bob also won a bronze medal at the 2009 55-plus Alberta Summer Games and a gold medal in the 2011 55-plus Alberta Summer Games. As well as competing in ball, both Phyllis and Bob organized and coached ball teams. Phyllis and Bob have both also competed at the highest levels of curling against many of the most well known curlers of the era, including: Baldwin, Gervais, Watchhorn and Northcott. Bob has won a silver placing at the Massey Ferguson Provincial Play-downs, berths to the Northern Alberta Curling Association play-downs. Phyllis and Bob teamed up and representing Wetaskiwin won four more berths to the NACA mixed play-downs in 1967, 1968, 1970 and 1985. In 2013 Bob and Phyllis won a gold medal at the 55plus Alberta Winter Games in the 70+ Mixed Curling event. In 2015 Bob continued his winning ways and won a bronze medal at the 55-Plus Alberta Winter Games in the Men’s 70 Plus division. Phyllis was a director of the Wetaskiwin Curling Club for a number of years and during the 1980’s and 1990’s she taught junior curling at the club. As well, from 1991 to 1993 Phyllis coached the Wetaskiwin Composite High School boys team and from 1992 to 1995 she coached the Wetaskiwin Composite High School girls team. In the 1990’s as a level 3 curling coach Phyllis also coached both a junior men’s competitive curling team and a junior ladies competitive team, both teams were from Wetaskiwin. At the 1997 junior ladies provincial play-downs Phyllis

received the coaches award. Larry Ethier Ethier coached volleyball in Wetaskiwin for 23 years. During his years of coaching, his volleyball teams won eleven provincial championships, made three appearances at the national championships and won a national bronze medal. Larry also established the Wetaskiwin Volleyball Club. Between 1976 and 1992 Ethier’s Wetaskiwin Composite High School volleyball teams won six provincial championships. Four of the provincial championships were with the boys teams and two were with the girls teams. During 1977, 1980, 1983 and 1984 boys teams each won the 3A provincial title. His 198990 girls won the 3A provincials and the next year the girls chose to play at the 4A level against much larger schools and again won the provincial title. The 199091 girls team with Ethier as their coach was inducted into the Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame in 2011 for their outstanding achievements. During Larry’s coaching years at Wetaskiwin Composite High School there wasn’t a year when his team didn’t represent their zone at the provincial championships. In the spring of 1978 Larry established the Wetaskiwin Volleyball Club Avalanche. In the club the juvenile boys’ teams won the provincial championships, represented Alberta at the national championships and won the bronze medal at the national championships. The Midget team represented Alberta at the Western Canadian championships and the Bantam team won a provincial championship. Icemen Junior B Hockey Team This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Icemen Hockey Association and in the 25 years of the team’s existence over 400 players have had a chance to play junior B hockey in Wetaskiwin. In that time approximately 20 players have been awarded over $15,000 in scholarships.

The 1991-92 Icemen Team was very competitive considering they were a first year team in the Northeast Junior Hockey League. In exhibition games before the league play commenced the new Icemen were undefeated. The team ended the regular season with a 31-5 win-loss record for a second place finish in the league. The team also had five players, two coaches and one manager traveled to Lloydminster to take part in the league’s all-star game. During the quarter finals of the league playoffs they defeated Slave Lake and in the semifinals defeated the Vegreville Rangers. They went undefeated in both series and advanced to the league finals against the Lloydminster Bandits who were the defending league and provincial champions. In the league finals the Icemen won the first two games against the Bandits. As the playoffs continued, the Bandits won the next two games to tie the series and then each team won one more game taking the finals to game seven. After a great battle the Icemen lost 5-2. Lloydminster advanced to the provincials and then to the Western Canadian championships. They won both series without a loss. In the 1991-92 season, the Icemen was the only team to defeat the Bandits.

Lakedell Agricultural Society requests one-time donation BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER Like many community groups, the Lakedell Agricultural Society is facing budget challenges in Alberta’s struggling economy. Following a presentation made by members of the society at Wetaskiwin County councils Feb. 16 meeting councillors approved a one-time donation of $16,000 from the Recreation Zone 2 Operating Reserve to the society. “We’re here to request funds … we have a plan we want to discuss with you,” director Tim Belec announced to the councillors. “In a nutshell we would like some help with some critical operating expenses,” said Belec, who added the Lakedell Agricultural Society is experiencing a time of low cash flow. Belec said the situation the society is in now rivals that of the 2008 recession, and even then the group was able to just get by without coming to the County of Wetaskiwin for additional support. Prior to the presentation the Lakedell Agricultural

Society board of directors took some time to identify strengths, weaknesses, challenging factors and plans of action. “We estimate, and I think this is a very conservative number, that we have over 100,000 person visits in attendance every year,” said Belec. “We generate between $600,000 and $700,000 in economic activity for the area,” he added. One of the factors that contributed to the society’s situation is the staffing changes it has undergone, resulting in some inefficiencies, longer hours and loss of process. “Quite frankly we took our eye off the ball a little bit,” said Belec. Event costs are also on the rise and Belec says the Lakedell Agricultural Society has a challenging regular cash flow cycle. “Our revenue and expenses fluctuate dramatically over the year.” “We’re in a deficit probably seven months out of the year. Historically, February, things are always extremely tight for us,” he added. Economic changes are another factor and Belec says the value of grants are eroding. The Lakedell Agricultural Society receives $175,000 from the Alberta

Agriculture Base Grant and while the amount of money is still the same, due to inflation it is having less of an effect. “We’ve lost at least one-third of that value,” said Belec. The Lakedell Agricultural Society also had a GST audit a few years back. The society was informed it needed to claim GST as a public service body, which it had not been doing and was not aware it needed to despite employing chartered accounts. The outcome was $17,000 owing. “It basically ate up our entire operating grant,” said Belec. “As part of our action plan we’ve identified some specific expenditure reductions,” said Belec. Strict employee work-time controls are to be put in place; staffing levels will be kept the same but with reduced hours. Belec says there will be a reduction in print advertising endeavours, and repairs and maintenance will be kept to urgent and safety issues. The Lakedell Agricultural Society is also looking to increase revenue by increasing arena usage fees, curling fees, bar prices and rental fees. With these changes, Belec says there will be an estimate $50,000 surplus.

Leducâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riseup House serves the community BY STU SALKELD THE PIPESTONE FLYER Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a name in Leduc and across the capital region that women and children know is a safe haven: Riseup House. Riseup House Society, a non-profit organization, has been operating in the city for a number of years offering services such as counseling for victims of domestic abuse. The society gained its moniker from its original location, a converted house on 49th Ave. Riseup House has since moved to a space behind Cottage Computers in Leduc. Cottage Computers has donated the use of this space for two years and Riseup says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very grateful for that donation. While Riseup House Society does not operate a shelter, the group offers

a number of services that are just as important in the effort to stop family violence in any of its forms. Society chair Erna Carter said the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to eradicate domestic violence in the community.â&#x20AC;? The ladies noted 100 per cent of Riseup Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients are women. Carter also noted that there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too many counseling services that are free of charge anymore but money is often an issue for clients of Riseup House. Riseup House offers individual counseling, individual assessment and group counseling. When a woman first comes to Riseup House she completes an intake assessment. The intake process helps staff to assess whether or not the client is a good fit for Riseup

or if perhaps they would be better served by other community agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not a crisis centre,â&#x20AC;? said Schuurman. Riseup House often gets referrals from victim services and is able to help women once the initial crisis situation has passed. Schuurman noted there are a variety of screening tools available and if Riseup House finds they can help a client, the client is assigned to a counselor. Counseling can be individual or group, and many clients do both. Each counselor has their own style and this is considered along with what the client feels will work for them. Schuurman said many women feel they are alone when facing a family violence issue and group counseling shows them the issue is widespread and they have a chance to listen and learn from other women. Riseup House also has support groups such as Healing Your Emotional Self which focuses on childhood trauma and Parenting Resilient Children. Counseling is available daytime hours, while support groups are available both during the day and in the evening. Carter said Riseup House is looking forward to their AGM coming up Thurs., Mar. 31 at 7 p.m.

guests will be Leduc RCMP Insp. Kevin Kunetzki and Cst. Bridget Avis as well as victim services coordinator Laura Barnes. The societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual budget depends on grants from different levels of government, fundraising and donations from the community such as a massive donation from the EIA Charity Golf Classic. Carter said fundraising and donations are down a bit in the current economy, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise to anybody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to be realistic,â&#x20AC;? she said. The group continues to plan fundraising activities that are both financially successful and enjoyable for the community. As well, Riseup House Society receives a grant from the City of Leduc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Leduc has been extremely supportive of us,â&#x20AC;? said Carter. Carter said the society is also interested in

looking at regions where their clientele comes from for further assistance. Schuurman said just under 50 per cent of Riseup Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clientele comes from the City of Leduc, while just over 50 per cent comes from the surrounding area, including Wetaskiwin, Millet, Maskwacis, Thorsby, Calmar, Edmonton, Spruce Grove and Sherwood Park areas, plus some clients from other provinces. So Riseup House really is a regional service provider. Carter noted Riseup House is completely non-profit, has several paid staff including counselors and is governed by a board of volunteers. They are always looking for new board members. Riseup House can be contacted by calling 780-7397473 and leaving a message or emailing office@riseuphouse.ca.

BY AMELIA NAISMITH THE PIPESTONE FLYER Leduc County council is looking to possibly alter a land use bylaw, which will change where frame and fabric structures are permitted. A public hearing on the matter will be held later in April so councillors can get a feel of what ratepayers think of the issue. At council’s March 1 meeting a recommendation came from administration that frame and fabric structures in agricultural districts where agricultural, extensive; agricultural, horticultural and agricultural, livestock uses can be permitted. Council also passed a motion to incorporate non-agricultural frame and fabric structures as a discretionary use in residential areas. Points council needed to look at include creating a

specific use of frame and fabric structure, with an associated definition within the land use bylaw; and include a maximum period of five years for the structures, which exists in industrial and commercial districts. Coun. Audrey Kelto questioned why the structures need to be regulated to five years. “If the building is okay and we don’t have any complaints from neighbors and they want to extend it they can come forward,” said planner Ata Mohammed. Frame and fabric structures were recommended as discretionary use in all districts (residential) excluding districts in the East Vistas Plan area. However, members of council were not comfortable with the division and that portion was taken out. “We’ve got to treat them all the same,” said Coun. John Schonewille.
