Music Foundation honors local youth

by Dominique VrolykTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

On Saturday August 15 in the County of Leduc, the Lake family and their friends and neighbors held a large community garage sale to raise awareness and funds for the Th addeus Lake Music Foundation.

To benefi t youth of Leduc County and Millet wanting and deserving to pursue their musical talents, the foundation was created by local music teacher Karen Lake and her husband Tony shortly aft er the tragic passing of their son Th addeus Lake on November 6 2011. Only three weeks before his passing, a young man with enormous

talent and a bright future, Th ad had shared with his family his dream of creating such a foundation, to “make it possible for children and youth to pursue, develop and explore musical avenues through the advantage of lessons, loan of instruments and extra fi nancial support”. It has already helped young musicians and school bands to attend national festivals and competitions.

At the hands of a drunk driver, Th ad lost his life with his two close friends, Kole Novak and Brad Arsenault in a crash near Beaumont. Brad’s mother Sheri Arsenault has created “Families For Justice”, a group passionately devoted to influence the government to change the impaired drivers’ laws, calling them too lenient, through

the promotion and distribution of a petition that has now been signed by more than 100,000 Canadians. Www.brad.kole.thad.com will provide more information on the “Forever Young” group.

At the community garage sale, several alumni who have been the recipients of the Foundation`s support, music students of Karen’s and bands performed all day long, such as Paige Gatske, Saige Kondratski and Julianne Simard, the recipient of a 2015 Leduc Rotary Music award. Th e foundation is now open to applications for funding from schools, agencies and private teachers ([email protected] and 780-986-0656) and of course, gratefully accepts fi nancial donations.

Author looks to revive Cree language via

children’s booksby Amelia Naismith

THE PIPESTONE FLYER

In an effort to generate more Cree speakers and promote the importance of Cree as a fi rst language, author Cindy Laroque is putting her Cree/English books in First Nations school libraries across central Alberta, including the Maskwacis Cultural College library.

“Most kids in our community, Cree is their second language,” said Laroque. “It should be their fi rst language.”

“Th e main thing I want to get out is our language, I want to keep our language alive,” she added.

Laroque speaks Cree fluently but as a child was a day student at a residential school. Because of this she did not teach her own children Cree when they were growing up. “I didn’t want my own kids to go through what I went through. Th at’s how I see it.”

“It was hard,” she added.

However, Laroque began teaching Cree to Kindergarten to Grade 9 students and found it to be a struggle teaching the diff erent levels.

Although she was fl uent in the language she needed to learn to read and write it. She took Cree instructor courses and early child development courses.

Laroque’s fi rst book, Little Red Running Shawl, first began as a school course assignment and she was encouraged to publish it.

It was published in 2011, two years aft er she wrote it.

Laroque used the same American publishing company for her second and third books but is looking for a Canadian publisher for her next four books.

Laroque’s young children books are written mainly in English with a few key words in Cree to begin introducing the langue to youth. Each book also includes translations for the Cree words.

Her body of work is also available as e-readers.

Dog poo is no jokeby Stu Salkeld

THE PIPESTONE FLYER

A local reader recently came into The Pipestone Flyer offi ce to get some dog control signs photocopied. These signs appeared to be sort of comical: they included a “please don’t let your dog dump on my lawn,” with a little cartoon on the poster of a dog creating a stool.

The local resident told newspaper staff it wasn’t the first time he’d made signs for this issue and, sadly, it probably wouldn’t be the last. His yard has been a regular dumping ground for his neighbours dogs, despite the signs and even some personal appeals. Apparently, the resident has approached people who let their dog take a dump right on this fellow’s lawn. Th e signs may have been comedic and amusing, but the issue of mutual respect of a neighbour’s property is

Millet resident fed up with other

people’s petsDear editor,Th ree pet peeves, I’m a reasonable citizen, take pride

in my property and our town. However, I’m sick of cats urinating on my front

porch, my front door and the corner of my garage! I’m also sick of dog owners who let their dog loose

aft er hours and having to pick up feces in the middle of my lawn or by my front steps. If the town can’t enforce by-laws or the owners are too lazy or have no respect for the by-laws, I will make sure these animals end up at the animal shelter in Wetaskiwin.

My third complaint is where are the by-law offi cers or the RCMP, when the bikers or other vehicles noisily speed up or down the hill on 616? At the right day and the right time, it is the ideal place for photo radar!

Doug Young, Millet

The City of Wetaskiwin’s animal control bylaw states in part, ‘No animal shall be a nuisance. A nuisance shall include, but not be limited

to: (iv) defecating on property other than that of the Owner.’“Just for the record, all of

you cat owners out there should take heed as well. The Town of Millet, for example, prohibits, through its animal control bylaw, any animal running at large. And this includes felines. “…any cat is running at large if it is shown to be off of the property of the owner and not on leash,” states Millet’s bylaw.

The City of Leduc’s animal control information states, “Th e bylaw introduces regulations to facilitate responsible pet ownership in our community. This includes ensuring dogs and cats wear licence tags at all times. The licence fee includes the services of expert animal control officers, which greatly improves the chances of a lost pet being returned to its rightful owners.

“Requiring that a dog or cat be on a leash when off the property of the owner, unless the owner of the property grants permission for the pet to be off leash on their property, ensures that property is protected,

not a joke.Most if not all

municipalities have dog control bylaws that also include dogs defecating on public or private property without permiss ion. Communities such as Millet, Wetaskiwin and Leduc all have community standards or animal control bylaws that prohibit dogs leaving piles of defecation on public property where passersby have to look at and smell the off ending material, and private landowners also have their yards protected by the bylaws.

For instance, the City of Wetaskiwin’s animal control bylaw states in part, “No animal shall be a nuisance. A nuisance shall include, but not be limited to… (iv) defecating on property other than

that of the Owner.” The Town of Millet’s animal control bylaw states, “No animal shall be a nuisance. A nuisance shall include, but not be limited to… (iv) Defecating on property other than that of the Owner… If an animal defecates on property other than the Owner’s property, the owner of the animal shall remove forthwith any defecated matter deposited… The Enforcement Officer may impound the animal(s) at the Owner’s expense, if the Owner has not complied with the order within fourteen (14) days.” Of course, the bylaw clearly states if your canine is dropping stinky, steaming piles on someone else’s lawn, you are in violation of the bylaw and can be fi ned.

and stray animals can be easily identified. Loose animals pose a threat to other animals, residents, property, and themselves. The bylaw requires that residents protect their pets from the dangers of roaming unsupervised,” it added.

Besides the obvious stench and unpleasantness of dog and cat defecation, property owners who’ve had problems with illicit doo know the effect this material can have on their prized lawns.

The problem isn’t just on private property either, but plagues public areas in communities around the region. Hiking and walking trails are developed for the enjoyment of all, and piles of decaying defecation do not add to the enjoyment of public places.

But the specifi cs of the bylaw are neither here nor there.

Neighbours shouldn’t need a bylaw forcing them to treat each other, and their property, with respect.

Neighbours should a lready know that homeowners don’t want to be continually scooping other people’s dog doo off their private property.

It’s common courtesy.

OpinionThe benefi ts of celebrity rehab

by Stu SalkeldTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

Th ose of you hooked on the Cult of Celebrity must already be aware of the mis-fortune of Kim Richards, who is apparently a televi-sion star. Well, she appears on a so-called “reality” TV show, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Techni-cally, Kim Richards doesn’t

fi t the profi le for the show; her husband has moved on to another woman, so technically she’s no longer a housewife.

Anyhoo, earlier this month Richards was ar-rested for shoplifting at a Target in Las Angeles, spent a night in jail and, almost certainly on the ad-vice of a high-priced Hol-lywood publicist, imme-diately entered “rehab.” Is “rehab” designed to make Kim Richards a better per-son? Naw, it’s all about money.

Last year the NFL Cleve-land Browns draft ed an im-mature little brat named Johnny Manziel. Anyone familiar with American college football knows who Manziel is: Johnny Football,

the star of the Texas A&M football program. Manziel, who was treated like Euro-pean royalty at Texas A&M because, of course, he won football games, put up stel-lar numbers playing against other boys, and some NFL experts felt he’d do as well or better playing against men in the professional world. Not so.

Manziel not only strug-gled on the fi eld (18-of-35 passing for 176 yards and two interceptions, which is horrible, even for a rookie) but his personal life was a disaster. He was fi ned for giving a middle fi nger to players from another NFL team; all last season Man-ziel was heavily criticized for bad play on the fi eld, lack of leadership and ap-

parently not knowing the Browns’ playbook. Mean-while, Manziel was known for showing up late to team meetings or even missing meetings because he was hung over or otherwise in-capacitated as a result of his “Animal House” lifestyle. He promised over and over again to clean up his act but things only seemed to get worse.

It must have been frustrating for the team, because 21 other teams passed on Manziel in the draft ; the Browns took a chance on him, and showed trust in him. Pro football is a billion-dollar business and there really is little to no time for entitled brats to behave like they’re at-tending a college frat party

while their teammates are practicing and trying to make themselves better athletes.

So earlier this year Johnny Football checked himself into an unknown detox or rehab centre to deal with “alcohol addic-tion.” While some apolo-gists claimed Manziel was showing maturity as he tried to deal with a problem out of his control, most oth-ers saw the move for what it was: an attempt to re-set his career and avoid the con-sequences of his childish behavior. Talk around the NFL at that time was that the Browns had had more than enough of Manziel’s immature behavior. Talk was, Manziel’s pro career could be over.

But there’s always “rehab.” In the celebrity world, “rehab” is translated into “I’m dealing with a problem that isn’t my fault and has consequences I’d rather avoid. Please don’t hold me responsible for what I say and do. Rather, shower me with sympa-thy and second and third chances.”

In a perfect world, ce-lebrities, pro athletes, poli-ticians etc. would deal with their problems the same way we “normal” people deal with them: we face consequences and try to learn from our mistakes.

A drive-in movie…for free

by Treena MielkeBLACK PRESS

I remember the first drive in movie I ever saw as only a quick black and white fl ashback that has almost, but not quite, been lost in the quicksand of time.

It was the summer of ’63. My dad and I were driving down a dark ribbon of highway towards home.

Home wasn’t in the city, but in a tiny town where street lights played hide and seek in the shadows and a little white clapboard church in the centre of town boasted the warning or, perhaps, the suggestion, “Turn Back to Your Bible for the Answer.”

Anyway as we rounded the curves of Highway 11, there off in what seemed like a huge fi eld, was this huge screen lit up with moving fi gures.

A drive-in movie.My dad pulled over to

the side of the highway and, from the safety of that old ’57 Chevy, we watched that movie free of charge.

O course, it was our own version of a silent movie, but, to me, a

child, knee high to a grasshopper, it was like stepping onto the peripheral edge of a grown up world which I knew nothing about.

Probably, to my dad, the fact that watching a movie while parked on the side of the road cost nothing, was a matter of no little signifi cance, but, for me, that wasn’t even in the equation!

I remember the soft ness of the night air, so warm and gentle it seemed you could wrap yourself in it, like a blanket. I remember great clusters of stars pinned to the sky with invisible clothespins.

And I remember feeling good, like all was right with my world.

I thought about that very fi rst drive in movie,

the other night when I was sitting in my daughter and son-in-law’s back yard watching Jurassic Park successfully shown with the benefi t of a white sheet and a borrowed movie projector.

It was one of those nights of summer when time stood still in a good way.

The air was soft and warm, like a blanket you could wrap yourself in. Muted voices of adults and children drift ed across the yard as people settled themselves in lawn chairs and swings. Th e younger set sprawled on blankets and on the trampoline and a lovable dog with a severe overbite wandered about, his brown eyes about begging popcorn and attention,

The delicate scent of wave petunias and sweet peas got all mixed up with the aroma of buttered popcorn that wafted gently over the back yard.

For me, the temptation of popcorn and red licorice quickly overruled any thoughts of counting calories and I grabbed a generous helping of both.

Settling myself in my lawn chair with a bag of buttered popcorn in one hand and a handful of licorices in the other, I was totally, deliciously happy.

And as the movie came on, I was once again transported to the night of long ago when I sat in an old Chevy with my dad on the side of a road and watched a few scenes from a black and white movie which we couldn’t even

hear.I ate my licorice and

munched my popcorn and watched the light from the projector turn fl ying insects into fi refl ies. During very scary scenes I distracted myself by looking up at the night sky and the cluster of stars pinned there by invisible clothespins.

And, once again, thanks to good and simple things like backyard movies and family and friends and a dog with a huge overbite and summer nights, I felt the feeling, the good feeling, like, once again, all was right in my world.

Pigeon Lake noxious weed almost eradicated

by Amelia NaismithTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

After six years of painstaking dedication the areas along the north and west shores of Pigeon Lake are almost completely free of the prohibited noxious weed Himalayan balsam.

Eradication program co-ordinator Don Davidson says the Himalayan balsam was introduced to a Pigeon Lake garden in the 1990s and it still poses an international issue.

Davidson says 10 years ago people in the community noticed a “beautiful plant” that started growing along the north shore of the lake and spread to the west. “Soon the shoreline was covered with these pink fl owers.”

“Th ey love the wet conditions,” he added.

However, once they realized it was a prohibited noxious weed an eradication program was developed and Davidson volunteered to

spearhead the efforts. “We got funding from the Land Stewardship Centre.”

Each summer the infected lands are patrolled bi-weekly and the developed pick, break, drop protocol is used to kill off the weed’s population.

Davidson says literature he looked at to deal with the weed encourages bagging the plants and disposing of it in a landfi ll. However, the Pigeon Lake program did not have enough manpower to bag all the plants and Davidson was concerned it would only transport the seeds to a new location.

“The protocol we developed at Pigeon Lake is pick, break and drop. When you break it no water gets to the fl owering end and it dies very quickly.” said Davidson. He explained as long as the roots are not dropped in wet soil and the plants are not piled together they should not take hold again.

Himalayan balsam grows from the

beginning of July until the frost kills them in the fall. Davidson says the plant usually grows to be three to four feet tall but can get as high as eight feet. “Th e plant is easy to identify, the fl ower looks like a snap dragon.”

Bees are heavily attracted to the plant and the seed pods can launch the seeds up to 10 feet away using a spring system, says Davidson. “When the pods ripen and you touch the pods the spring recoils.”

Each plant can produce between 1,000 and 5,000 seeds.

Davidson says seeds can lay dormant for about one year before growing but through the program patrols are fi nding only patches of 10 rather than 10,000. “It’s under control and it will soon be eradicated.”

While the shorelines are almost clear Davidson says the plant could still be lurking on people’s property and he encourages them to keep an eye out and pick and break any straggling weeds they fi nd.

Calmar Fair Daysby Tom Dirsa

THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Calmar’s Annual Fair was held last weekend with the bench show kicking things off on August 13. Participants were allowed to submit their entries from 3 to 8 p.m. with the judging taking place on Friday evening. Exhibits were on display to the public on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Friday, August 14 was movie night in the park and for $2 patrons brought a blanket or a lawn chair and enjoyed a movie that began at 8 p.m.

Saturday began with a pancake breakfast at the curling rink from 8 a.m. to 10:30 and then it was on to the Mega Market when Main Street is turned into a huge farmers market that began at 9 a.m. At 11 a.m. under cloudy skies the Calmar parade began at the Calmar Elementary School before it proceeded south on 50 Street then turned left onto Highway 39 ending when it turned left again onto 47 Street.

Th e parade is always a highlight of the weekend and this year was no exception. St. Albert Mayor Norm Crouse and Leduc RCMP’s Inspector Kevin Kunetzki along with many of Calmar’s businesses and organizations joined Calmar’s Mayor Wally Yachimetz and town councilor members in celebrating Calmar Fair Days. Th e County of Leduc followed the color guard in leading the parade. Th ough the weather left much to be desired the enthusiasm of both the parade participants and the spectators were as high as ever.

Online payments are also available for all transportation fees through PowerSchool Parent Portal. Families can go to their PowerSchool login and apply for transportation and the appropriate applicable fees can be seen once you add busing to your cart. Instructions on how to login can be found at: www.blackgold.ca/schools/transportation/online-payment/.

If you do not have a PowerSchool Parent account, a new account can be set up with your school in the new school year. In the meantime, you may contact the BGRD transportation department to sign up for busing.

by Dominique VrolykTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

It is with a grateful

heart that I share with our Pipestone Flyer readers my summer holiday in Montreal, Quebec City and Lighthouse Cove in Ontario. I revisited the land of my childhood and teen years: Montreal hasn’t changed much since last year, proudly displaying a thriving spirit, congested traffi c on wide thoroughfares, glorious weather and interesting attractions…

Downtown Montreal, a visit to my childhood school Villa Ste Marcellines that sits on Mount Royal behind the iconic Oratory St Joseph and College Marie-de-France on Côte-des-Neiges were fun and sentimental excursions.

Old Montreal is always fascinating with its impressive architecture and proud history, friendly bistros,

Eastern Canada re-visited

The KiltAt the 2015 Montreal Highland Games, ran across two

members of the Viscount Park Pipe Band of Edmonton, Andrew Fedora and Valerie Nicoll, mother of Keltie

Nicoll, City of Leduc fi refi ghter. Small world!

interesting shops, artists and musicians set up on cobblestone streets. My companion and I took a drive to visit St. Helen Island, host of Montreal’s Expo 67, where the huge sphere that was the U.S pavilion is now an environmental museum.

The 2015 Montreal Highland Games, a 38th annual event, is an icon of Montreal culture, paying homage to its proud Scottish history and taking place in the Verdun borough. History in song and dance, strong man competitions and cultural displays made this a memorable day. Aft er the massed bands, an impressive performance by more than 400 members of Scottish bands in a crowd of thousands of spectators, we stopped to chat with a couple performers, members of the Edmonton-based Viscount Park Pipe Band. Low and behold, the female musician was Valerie Nicoll, mother of Keltie Nicoll, a City of Leduc fi refi ghter. Th e only Alberta athlete was Joel Th iessen of High River.

Quebec City offers a unique blend of modern

and historic architecture: old churches like the amazing St Michel de Sillery with its nearby cannons lined up to overlook the river are always fascinating to visit. Old Quebec off ers a dizzying array of French bistros with stellar cuisine, artists on pedestrian streets and public troubadours. Th e double-decker touring buses provide a wonderful way to visit historic sites, in just a few hours!.

Aft er Quebec, it was time for a diff erent pace: we fl ew to Lighthouse Cove, a 40 minute drive south of the Windsor airport. My friend Valerie Warnock, a Telford Lake resident in Leduc, is blessed to also own a lovely house on the shore of Lake St. Clair, a lake that is 25 miles across! This tight-knit southern Ontario community boasts a truly wonderful southern weather and a fascinating history: all of its canals were dug to build up the streets, creating a Venice-like town where small and large yachts, sailboats and fi shing vessels come and go all year long! Th e highlights of our visit were kayaking, playing Relic on her

beach (taking away stray logs with a jet ski is challenging and fun!) and relaxing on Valerie’s deck, watching the boats and a multitude of birds go by. Th e annual “Christmas in August” Lighthouse Cove event was awesome, as several impressive sailboats arrived at the popular Lighthouse Inn, joyously decorated in a Christmas theme… Oh my, that was quite the memorable holiday.

by Amelia NaismithTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

Multiple Leduc businesses and industry powerhouses, along with UTV Canada in Leduc, have combined eff orts to create the Expedition Build project.

Expedition Build is an enclosed, four-seater ATV prototype that will be traveling to Tennessee for the international Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) Can-AM dealer convention later this year.

“Our machine will be one of the prototype machines on display there,” explained UTV Canada owner Reid Nehring.

“Th e Expedition Build is a four-seater Can-Am BRP,” he added.

Nehring was approached last fall at the Toronto International Snowmobile and ATV show by Terra-Tech Off Road director and principal trainer Mike Bennett with the concept for the machine.

Bennett re-approached UTV Canada this spring with a plan to develop the prototype, sponsors in place and DuraTrax Television on board to provide international media coverage with a three-part series on the construction of the machine and a magazine feature.

International ATV prototype developed in Leduc“Th e unique thing we

have going here is we've been able to get some of the other local businesses involved,” said Nehring. Gee and Gee Racing Inc. and DC Signs and Designs are two of the businesses lending their expertise and products to the project.

“I'm please and proud we've been able to take a bunch of Leduc talent and showcase it internationally,” said Nehring.

With the Expedition Build four people will be able to travel into the wilderness on the machine, which is self-sustaining for 72 hours. It includes a refrigeration unit, hydration, extra fuel, cooking abilities and a roof rack to carry camping gear in waterproof duffl e bags donated to the project.

“It'll have a military-grade vehicle tracking system in it,” said Nehring.

“It's built to withstand the rugged trails, anything we can throw at it,” he added.

With the help of other “industry giants” such as Dragon Fire, Lowrance GPS, S3 Power Sports and SSV Works, the Expedition Build boasts features such as four-way communication using microphones and helmets. “And also car-to-car (communication) if you're

traveling with another group of people,” said Nehring.

Th e actual construction of the machine began in July and it must be done by the end of August in order to be ready for BRP Can-AM convention.

Nehring says when Bennett with approached him with the project he was skeptical. “It was 'okay, you've got people approaching you with these projects . . . put it on paper, show us something that's real'.”

“When he approached us this spring with a plan . . . it was 'wow, we'd be crazy not to get on board',” he added.

Nehring says co-coordinating transportation of the parts, since many are coming from the United States, has been one of the project's biggest challenges. One of the mechanical difficulties has been the suspension of the vehicle. With all the attributes the Expedition Build has Nehring says the machine has an added 750 pounds. “We've got a lot of unsprung weight we've had to deal with.”

Wiring the machine with all it diff erent systems has also proved challenging. “We've had so many diff erent electrical systems come together. We're taxing out electrical experts to the bone,” said Nehring.

With the international coverage the project is poised to receive Nehring hopes the

Expedition Build has a strong future in the industry. “Our hope is we're going to attract

custom builds from (the) industry, also from military and law enforcement.”

BuildDuraTrax Television fi lms more construction of the Expedition Build for part of a three episode series.

The Expedition Build is a partnership project between UTV Canada,

other Leduc businesses and other leading industry

companies.

Leduc Farmers Market still fl ourishesby Tom Dirsa

THE PIPESTONE FLYER

Th e Leduc Farmers Market began its offi cial status 40 years ago even though farmers had been bringing in the fruits of their labor since the early 1900’s to Leduc residents. For many years the market was held in the Alexandra Arena then in 2001 the market moved to the park outside of the arena while the arena was being repaired and upgraded.

The outdoor market proved to be very popular and it remained in the park aft er the arena’s repairs were completed. Then with the increase in Leduc’s population showed increase need in the park the market moved to downtown and 50th Avenue beginning in 2014. Due to the major construction at Confusion Corner the Farmers Market was once again on the

move. Th is time it moved to the parking lot south of the ATB Financial building.

Th e market draws not only fruit and vegetable venders from the district, but also many local butchers with meat products and several artisans with unique craft s for purchase. One of the vendors is BK Pure Country Meats who have been around for three generations and carries on a long tradition of producing great tasting meats and sausage. Th e market runs twice a week on Th ursday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Year after year despite the recent moves in location the Leduc Farmers Market continues to flourish and remains a very popular attraction for residents to purchase fresh food and to socialize with their neighbors just as it has been since the early 1900’s.

Fresh ApproachThe Leduc Farmers Market draws not only fruit and vegetable venders from the district, but also many

local butchers with meat products and several artisans with unique crafts for purchase.
