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 unread-able when you fi rst look at them. That letter “S” which is the beginning of a name that defeat-ed 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 fi nd pages are numbered and when the pages are full, they will write in any space, even down the margins. During both world wars, writ-ing paper was hard to fi nd and was expensive. Therefore space was of great value. I have sev-eral letters like this and to fi nd which pages go where may not always be straightforward.

Reading old letters can be fun

You should try to fi nd out as much as possible about the people, places and events mentioned in the letter or diary. This should be the re-ally enjoyable part and you will be involved in a good deal of detective work. When reading let-ters and diaries, you can get a glimpse what was going on with your an-cestors like where they lived, who they visited and what was happen-ing in their area.

Now with the age of computers, you can scan, save and compile them.

What I do is sepa-rate 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 rub-ber bands or paper clips as the rubber will rot and the clips will rust.

Till next time.Bob Maynard is a local

historian and genealo-gist, and will be writing a monthly column about the topic in The Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer.

‘Earth Hour’ should be unnecessary

Earth hour is com-ing up soon, and it be-hooves every resident in the Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer’s circula-tion 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 encour-aged to turn off all non-es-sential lights, appliances and electronic devices for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on March 19.”

BY STU SALKELDTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

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, espe-cially when it comes to the power grid. Perhaps with the economic situation the way it is in Alberta right now, the average consum-er will be more interested in energy conservation. To be honest, proper and responsible energy con-servation really doesn’t ask a lot from the aver-age person, and if more people made some simple changes maybe Earth Hour wouldn’t even be neces-sary. 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 win-dows. Do-it-yourselfers can seal things up them-selves with some calking or weather-stripping, but older homes may need new energy-effi cient win-dows. The cost outlay usu-ally pays for itself in the long run with noticeably lower heat or air condi-tioning bills.

Maintain the furnace: Your home’s furnace is engineered to have a new, fresh fi lter in it. If the fi lter is old and gummed up, it will usually make the furnace work harder. Replacement fi lters 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 effi cient light bulbs: Nowadays consumers have an impressive array of options for effi cient lighting. If means allow, use fl orescent or even LED lighting, which is far more energy effi cient 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 effi cient ap-pliances: 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 ma-chines and dishwashers. If they’re needed, replace them with newer ener-gy-effi cient models (again, they’ll pay for themselves in the long run). When it comes to a dishwash-er, 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 un-necessary. Leave the heat or air conditioning set at a specifi c level rather than cranking them up or down regularly and wear a sweater if you get a chill.

There’s another, more subtle benefi t to being en-ergy effi cient that doesn’t necessarily involve giving the environment a rest when it comes to pol-lution and greenhouse gases. If more Albertans and Canadians were en-ergy effi cient there would be obvious societal bene-fi ts, 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.

Former AUPE staffer can’t be impartial: readerDear editor,First of all to the NDP

supporters, we know that the price of oil is being ma-nipulated by OPEC, which we cannot control. It is the conduct of this govern-ment and its policies that are worsening things. The NDP got a majority govern-ment 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 gov-ernment advisor for up-coming negotiations with the Alberta Union of Public Employees and public sec-tor unions across the prov-ince. Notley’s husband Lou Arab works for AUPE and Davediuk was a negotiator for AUPE until this hiring. Where is the impartiali-ty? Of course he is going to favour the unions, not look out for the taxpay-er’s interests. Of course Gil McGowan and the Alberta

Federation of Labour en-dorsed this.

It’s nice to see a news-paper be open and pub-lish 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 men-tion or campaign on Bill 6, the carbon tax or that she would fl y to the U.S., Paris or Quebec to criticize Alberta oil.

If Notley and the NDP were truly concerned about the environment, the very fi rst thing they should do is put an imme-diate stop to Edmonton’s (and other cities’) land

grab of number one soil. Agriculture Canada statis-tics state that only fi ve per cent of Canada’s land is ar-able and that only 0.5 per cent of that land has num-ber one soil. If the NDP truly cares about the fu-ture 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 confi rm that.

On Mar. 8 I went to the rally at the legislature or-ganized by George Clark to protest Bill 6, the carbon tax and the NDP govern-ment 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. sys-tem so people tried to use a megaphone. Then the

12 o’clock musical chime, which on other occasions only plays around six min-utes, 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 fi nally shut off the music. People went to protest pol-icies, 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 non-stop 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 fi nally 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 num-ber 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 mis-spelling but it was done on purpose for ironic effect. But then maybe irony is beyond their comprehen-sion.

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!

How to be a dad

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 al-though I never considered myself a “kid” person, we probably clicked because I tend to behave in a juve-nile 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-hus-band, 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 par-enting. 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 informa-tion for fathers about a dad’s role and their rela-tionship with their kids.” Now, I’m not saying I have a problem with a class that teaches fathers that they should behave like fa-thers. What I have a prob-lem with is that a work-shop like this is needed in the fi rst place. Are some Alberta fathers neglecting their responsibilities?

The workshop was of-fered in Leduc by the Alberta Father Involvement Initiative, an organiza-tion 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 increas-ing the awareness of the initiative and will assist fathers and service pro-viders with resource and training development.” On the AFII website, a re-cent 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, gath-ering 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 domes-tic 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 sur-vey. When asked “Do men sometimes need support for their own well-being and to have healthy re-lationships?,” 96 per cent said “Yes.” However, nearly three out of four who re-sponded said they don’t

know of available services and supports in their com-munity that help men with personal well-being and relationship issues. Nearly one in three men said so-cietal/cultural expecta-tions about being a man would prevent them from accessing support anyway. There was also informa-tion about how fi nances, family confl ict, addictions and unsatisfactory career were keeping some men from personal well-being.

Kudos to those orga-nizing the Kid’nection Workshop, and hopeful-ly 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.

Capital punishment isn’t always uncalled for

James Clifford Paul, the young man who plead guilty to aggravated as-sault and sexually assault-ing a seven year old girl in 2014, will fi nd out his fate in April 2016.

According to a March 7 Global News report, both the Crown and Defense are seeking a 10-year sen-tence.

There is not enough

BY AMELIA NAISMITHTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

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 condi-tion 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 cap-ital punishment in 1998 this is an option that should seriously be con-sidered for offenders like Paul.

In 2013 a country-wide poll revealed 63 per cent of Canadians support-ed re-instating the death penalty. Many feel the death penalty will deter homicide and other brutal

crimes. However, in west-ern societies homicide rates have remained stable or decreased.

For those who have the urge to kill are so inebri-ated they commit heinous crimes — as Paul was (drunk and high on crys-tal meth) — they probably aren’t even thinking about consequences. So how can something not even on their mind infl uence their actions? It’s about safety, responsibility and justice.

Sure, they may be gen-uinely 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 fi t 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 advan-tages to capital punish-ment, including: condem-nation for serious and brutal crimes, elimination of those offenders repeat-ing, modern DNA technol-ogy reduces the chance of punishing innocents, ad-dressing overcrowding in prisons and help give clo-sure to those deserving, there are also disadvan-tages.

Even with technology there’s always the possi-bility of error, death pen-alty prosecutions and pro-

cesses are more expensive than a life term, and not all jury members can re-main impartial to race and religion.

But Paul has already ad-mitted he committed the crime and no matter what his race may be the facts of what he did stay the same.

Governments, as elect-ed 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 consid-er 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 le-niency 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 goldIt was an emotion-

al six minutes as Jakob Dormaar wrestled a fan-tastic match for the gold medal at this week-end’s ASAA High School Provincial Championships in Sherwood Park.

In the past 20 years, Wetaskiwin Composite High School brought home the provincial team ban-ner 10 times. This season the team championship was not in reach with only a two-man team. Unfortunately, small num-bers 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 com-peting in their fi rst high school provincial champi-onships.

SUBMITTED BY CARI MCDONNELLWETASKIWIN WRESTLING

Dormaar battled his way through the prelim-inary 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 remain-ing matches to get to the fi nals.

In the fi nals 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 fi rst round off a lit-tle slow trailing Pineda 3-0 at halftime but came out on a mission in the sec-ond round shutting down Pinedea’s offence and run-ning up the score 11-3 for himself. Fast feet, defen-sive hands and continued attacks earned Dormaar his fi rst provincial title.

“It’s a huge accomplish-ment to win provincials; but even more so being able to do it in grade 10. I would credit this to Jakob’s dedication and exception-al work ethic” said coach Shane Rybak.

For Gusdal, the compe-tition ended without a placing after being elimi-nated 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 pre-liminary rounds.

With only three Grade 10 wrestlers compet-ing, coaches Rybak and McDonnell were ecstatic when their modest expec-tations 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 tourna-ment will be the Alberta Opens April 2 to qualify him to compete as a fi rst year cadet at wrestling na-tionals later that month.

Wetaskiwin honours great community athletes and sports contributors

Another batch of Wetaskiwin’s revered ath-letes and sports community contributors will be induct-ed into the Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame on March 19.

During the 11th annu-al induction ceremony the inductees presented and celebrated will be accom-plished hockey and baseball

player Larry Hodgson in the Athlete category, skilled vol-leyball player Natalie Reimer Anderson in the Athlete cat-egory, Larry Ethier in the Builder category for his con-tributions coaching volley-ball, Phyllis and Bob Cleland in the Builder category for their efforts in competing in and supporting curling and baseball in the com-munity and the the 1991-92 Icemen Hockey Team in the Team category for their


ground-breaking and out-standing year.

Following the banquet at the Best Western Wayside Inn Banquet Room a pre-sentation will honour each of the recipients with small and larger plaques. Each in-dividual or team is present-ed 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 presi-dent Sandy Wright.

“They were chosen for their accomplishments and what awards they’ve won,” said Wright.

Each year, after nomina-tions are submitted to the Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame com-mittee vote upon those new to the pool and nominations kept of fi le, voting is based upon contributions and who is already memorialized in the Hall of Fame, says Wright.

Larry HodgsonDuring the 11 years

Hodgson spent attend-ing an Ermineskin Indian Residential School he de-veloped a vivacious passion

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 grand-children as well as other youths of Maskwacis. When not playing sports he re-mained involved through coaching, mentoring other coaches, mentoring youths and working in hockey schools.

One of Hodgson’s largest accomplishments as an ath-lete 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 AndersonDuring 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 ac-ademic all-Canadian four times. Reimer Anderson fi n-ished her volleyball career

playing professionally.During Reimer Anderson’s

Grade 12 year her volley-ball 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-con-ference team and during the years 1993 to 1996 the Wesmen reached the Canadian university cham-pionships. Reimer Anderson was named to the all-Cana-dian team twice and was a Canadian tournament all-star 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 Maylan-La Tranche France in 1998.

Following that she contin-ued to be involved by coach-ing at high school, college and university levels.

Phyllis and Bob ClelandThe Cleland’s have been

involved in curling and ball for most of their lives as well as well as being in-volved 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 sev-eral berths to the provincials and in 1975 won the provin-cial silver medal.

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 play-ers have had a chance to play junior B hockey in Wetaskiwin. In that time ap-proximately 20 players have been awarded over $15,000 in scholarships.

The 1991-92 Icemen Team was very competitive con-sidering they were a fi rst year team in the Northeast Junior Hockey League. In ex-hibition games before the league play commenced the new Icemen were unde-feated. The team ended the regular season with a 31-5 win-loss record for a second place fi nish in the league.

The team also had fi ve players, two coaches and one manager traveled to Lloydminster to take part in the league’s all-star game.

During the quarter fi nals of the league playoffs they defeated Slave Lake and in the semifi nals defeated the Vegreville Rangers. They went undefeated in both se-ries and advanced to the league fi nals against the Lloydminster Bandits who were the defending league and provincial champions.

In the league fi nals the Icemen won the fi rst 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 fi nals 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 donationLike 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 an-nounced 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 fl ow.

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 at-tendance every year,” said Belec.

“We generate between $600,000 and $700,000 in eco-nomic activity for the area,” he added.

One of the factors that contributed to the society’s situation is the staffi ng changes it has undergone, re-sulting in some ineffi ciencies, 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 fl ow cycle. “Our revenue and expenses fl uctuate dramatically over the year.”

“We’re in a defi cit 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 infl ation 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 em-ploying 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 identifi ed some spe-cifi c expenditure reductions,” said Belec.

Strict employee work-time controls are to be put in place; staffi ng levels will be kept the same but with reduced hours. Belec says there will be a reduction in print advertising endeavours, and repairs and mainte-nance will be kept to urgent and safety issues.

The Lakedell Agricultural Society is also looking to in-crease revenue by increasing arena usage fees, curling fees, bar prices and rental fees.

With these changes, Belec says there will be an esti-mate $50,000 surplus.

Leduc’s Riseup House serves the community

There’s a name in Leduc and across the capital re-gion that women and chil-dren know is a safe haven: Riseup House.

Riseup House Society, a non-profit organiza-tion, has been operating in the city for a number of years offering ser-vices such as counseling for victims of domestic abuse. The society gained its moniker from its orig-inal 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 they’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 fami-ly violence in any of its forms. Society chair Erna Carter said the group’s goal is “to eradicate do-mestic violence in the community.”

The ladies noted 100 per cent of Riseup House’s cli-ents are women. Carter also noted that there ar-en’t too many counsel-ing services that are free of charge anymore but money is often an issue for clients of Riseup House.

Riseup House offers in-dividual counseling, in-dividual assessment and group counseling.

When a woman fi rst comes to Riseup House she completes an intake assessment. The intake process helps staff to as-sess whether or not the cli-ent is a good fi t for Riseup


or if perhaps they would be better served by other community agencies. “We are not a crisis centre,” said Schuurman. Riseup House often gets refer-rals from victim services and is able to help women once the initial crisis situ-ation has passed.

Schuurman noted there are a variety of screen-ing tools available and if Riseup House fi nds they can help a client, the cli-ent is assigned to a coun-selor. Counseling can be individual or group, and many clients do both. Each counselor has their own style and this is con-sidered along with what the client feels will work for them.

Schuurman said many women feel they are alone when facing a family vi-olence 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 sup-port 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.

in the Wingate Hotel on Sparrow Drive. Special

guests will be Leduc RCMP Insp. Kevin Kunetzki and Cst. Bridget Avis as well as victim services coordi-nator Laura Barnes.

The society’s annual bud-get depends on grants from different levels of govern-ment, fundraising and do-nations from the commu-nity such as a massive do-nation from the EIA Charity Golf Classic. Carter said fundraising and donations are down a bit in the cur-rent economy, which isn’t a surprise to anybody. “We’re trying to be realistic,” she said.

The group continues to plan fundraising activities that are both fi nancially successful and enjoyable for the community. As well, Riseup House Society re-ceives a grant from the City of Leduc. “The City of Leduc has been extremely sup-portive of us,” said Carter.

Carter said the soci-ety is also interested in

looking at regions where their clientele comes from for further assis-tance. Schuurman said just under 50 per cent of Riseup House’s clientele comes from the City of Leduc, while just over 50 per cent comes from the surrounding area, includ-ing 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-profi t, has several paid staff including counselors and is governed by a board of volunteers. They are al-ways looking for new board members.

Riseup House can be con-tacted by calling 780-739-7473 and leaving a message or emailing offi [email protected].

The society’s annual budget depends on grants from different levels of govern-ment, fundraising and donations from the community such as a massive donation from the EIA Charity Golf Classic.

Public hearing for frame and fabric structures

Leduc County council is looking to possibly alter a land use bylaw, which will change where frame and fabric structures are permit-ted.

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 meet-ing a recommendation came from administration that frame and fabric struc-tures in agricultural districts where agricultural, exten-sive; agricultural, horticul-tural and agricultural, live-stock uses can be permitted.

Council also passed a mo-tion to incorporate non-ag-ricultural frame and fabric structures as a discretion-ary use in residential areas. Points council needed to look at include creating a

specifi c use of frame and fabric structure, with an as-sociated defi nition within the land use bylaw; and in-clude a maximum period of fi ve years for the structures, which exists in industrial and commercial districts.

Coun. Audrey Kelto ques-tioned why the structures need to be regulated to fi ve years.

“If the building is okay and we don’t have any com-plaints from neighbors and they want to extend it they can come forward,” said planner Ata Mohammed.

Frame and fabric structures were recommended as dis-cretionary use in all districts (residential) excluding dis-tricts in the East Vistas Plan area. However, members of council were not comfort-able with the division and that portion was taken out.

“We’ve got to treat them all the same,” said Coun. John Schonewille.
