Kodak Moment: Santa visited the Co-op mall last Saturday and youngsters had the opportunity to sit on his knee and whisper Christmas wishes in his ear. Some children were less than impressed with the experience and others were in awe of the legendary figure. APN Photo

Christmas around the world, then and now
By Treena Mielke
December 25 is so close, just days away, and the day will bring with it, once again, a message of peace, joy and hope for the world.
For many Canadians, at least the more fortu-nate among us, Christmas is a time of tradition, celebration and remembrance, getting together with family and friends.
In Canada, the traditional Santa is dressed in red and white, comes in a sleigh and slides down the chimney.
But for Jean Warta, who grew up in Holland, Santa (Sinterklaas) came on a ship, arriving on the morning of St. Nicholas’ Day (Dec. 6) and trav-eled with his servants called Zwarte Pieten (Black Peters).
When Sinterklaas and the Black Peters came ashore from the ship, all of the local church bells rang in celebration.
“We all got presents from St. Nicholas,” re-called Warta.
Although Warta has been in Rimbey for close to 60 years, she still has fond memories of the Christmases of her childhood.
“We had a tree lit with real candles and then we sat around and watched the candles so they wouldn’t burn (the tree down),” she said.
Michael Jarmoluk recalled Christmas in Pol-land during the ‘20s and early ‘30s.
Born in 1923, Jarmoluk lived with his parents, his older brother Leon and his sisters Halina and Lodzia in the eastern part of Poland until he was 16 years old and the country was invaded by Russia.
Up until that time, he recalled happy Christ-mases with lots of cooking, baking, get-togethers and the jingle of sleigh bells.
“I remember dressing up and carrying a star and going with the other children to homes in the neighborhood singing Christmas carols.”
Junnie Chung who owns Rimbey Foods with her husband Steven Yoon said Christmas celebra-tions in Korea are similar to those in Canada.
“The only difference is the stores are open on Christmas Day.
She said get-togethers with family and friends are common, and while the food is different, peo-ple enjoy dining together and sharing a meal.
Chung said she enjoys Christmas in both coun-tries.
“I like the feeling. Everyone says Merry Christ-mas and people are more generous and nicer. Ev-erybody is happy. It is most joyful. I wish we could have Christmas every month.”
May Huang, who owns Happy Valley Restau-rant with her husband John Ha, said Chinese New Year’s is celebrat-ed much more than Christmas in China.
She said Chinese New Year’s is a wonder-ful celebration that lasts 15 days and includes lots of good food, deco-rations and dancing.

Soldiers stop fighting during the
Christmas truce of First World WarMany myths and legends sur-
round the First World War and Christmas - especially the first Christmas of the war in December 1914. The British public and the sol-diers fighting in the mud of Flanders were given the impression by those in charge that the Germans, fighting possibly less than100 me-tres away, were blood-lusting psychopaths bent on destroying all in their way. Any form of friend-ship between the two sides fighting the war, would have been seen as detrimental to this impression. While the Germans remained the “evil Hun”, the government and the military could justify their re-spective tactics.
However, the first Christmas of 1914 clearly broke the impression that those in charge wanted to portray.
Recent research by Stanley Weintraub has proved that there was fraternisation - improvised at the time in December 1914 but with some ‘rules’ quickly built in.
Weintraub has found that the first smatterings that something was not quite right took place in the trenches where the Berkshire Regiment faced the XIX Corps of the German Army. The XIX’s were from Saxony. The Saxons started to put up small conifers on the parapets of their trenches - akin to
our Christmas trees. The Berkshires could see many of them lining the tops of the XIX’s trenches. Groups of the Berkshires and the Saxons met in No-Mans Land and officers from both sides turned a blind eye
to this fraternisation which broke military law. In fact, the officers in these trenches agreed to an in-formal truce between Christmas Eve and Christ-mas Day.
During the next 24 hours, impromptu cease fires occurred throughout the Western Front. The British High Command - stationed 27 miles be-hind the trenches - was horrified but little could be done.
Troops on the front line had already got into the festive spirit as German troops had received Christmas trees and gifts and the British troops had received a Christmas gift from Princess Mary, the daughter of George V. The king had also sent a Christmas card to the front with the message “May God protect you and bring you home safe.”
On Christmas Eve many sectors along the Western Front did not experience any fire or very little when compared to the previous days in De-cember. Christmas carols were sung between trenches. In the dark of night time, groups of Ger-man and Allied soldiers met in No-Man’s Land.
Christmas Day itself started with unarmed Ger-man and British soldiers collecting their dead from No-Man’s Land. This has been a pre-condition for a cease-fire. On Christmas Eve night, when the soldiers from both sides had met, they had done so among the bodies of their fallen comrades. In one burial service, German and British dead were buried alongside each other near Lille.
With this task over, both groups of men then exchanged gifts - primarily food. Sauerkraut and sausages came from the Germans while chocolate was given in exchange. In some sectors, it was re-ported that both Germans and British got together for a communal hunt for hares so that Christmas Day could be celebrated with fresh meat. The regi-mental records of the 133rd Saxon Regiment also records a football match which they won 3-2. This score was also supported by a letter published in “The Times” from a British major in the Medical Corps.
As midnight on Christmas Day approached, men from both sides drifted back to their trenches. Pre-arranged signals had been decided on to allow the men to get back. The use of a flare was enough to warn men to get back and that the cease fire was over.
On Boxing Day, the shooting started again.

Best Christmasgreetings to all
The final count-down to Christmas is here and, ready or not, the big day is about to arrive.
For some of us lucky individuals it is pretty easy to be all jolly and happy. For us, the joy of the season comes naturally, like a gift that is packaged up in pretty paper and rib-bons and dropped off on our doorstep.
For those of us who are so lucky, the season of Christmas brings with it an abundance of joy, good cheer and happiness from start to finish.
Health. Family. Friends. Laughter and hugs. Music. Good times!
Our homes are toasty warm and our hearts are full with good feelings generated by the gifts of family, friends, laughter, hugs, memories and shared joys.
It is truly wonderful to experience those mo-ments at any time, and, at Christmas, it is espe-cially meaningful.
But, unfortunately life, with its trail of sadness and broken hearts, does not follow a calendar.
And, tragedy without warning, can rear its ugly head just as easily at Christmas time as it can at any other time during the year.
But still, even as people wrestle with their own sadness and their own demons, the sun continues to rise and set and the days end and the days begin.
And people decorate Christmas trees and buy presents and go through the motions of finding joy, even if it seems like an illusive rainbow’s end, and chasing it seems futile and hopeless.
But, still, life goes on.Those who have lost a loved one during this
season, those who cannot lift themselves out of the deep, dark hole of depression, and those who are missing loved ones who are far away, no doubt, find Christmas a bleak and dismal time.
It is true that in this weary old world, there are many, many people who have so little reason to celebrate, to experience joy of any kind. For them, Christmas, with its lights and its message of hope and cheer and goodwill can seem not much more than mockery.
But, it seems, during this season, even in the cacophony that exists as shoppers rush around on endless shopping marathons, searching for the perfect gift, there still exists these tiny wonderful moments, which happen for all of us.
I like to think of these moments as ‘quiet mir-acles.’
In my lifetime, I’ve had a few quiet miracles that showed up around Christmas.
I don’t even question why. I just count myself lucky.
Just for the record, when my higher self isn’t activated I can’t even see these ‘quiet miracles,’ because I’m too busy running around like the pro-verbial chicken with its head cut off trying to beat deadlines, both real and self imposed.
However, when I manage to ‘chill out’ using such means as hot yoga or chilled rum and egg-nog, I can usually manage re-focus.
And, I’m here to tell you, if it works for me, I’m sure it will work for you, too.
Therefore, I urge each and everyone out there to remind yourself once in awhile there are quiet miracles out there, free for the taking, if only you take time to look.
And so, this year, my wish for you all is that, somewhere in the cacophony of the season, each of you may find your own ‘quiet miracles’ what-ever they happen to be in your world.
And, in so doing, may you have the best Christmas ever.
Merry Christmas, everyone!!

Food bank helps out
at Christmas timeBy Treena Mielke
Christmas will be a whole lot brighter and happier for some fami-lies in the Rimbey area thanks to the kindness and generosity of the com-munity.
Katherine Winters, Rimbey food bank co-ordinator, said volunteers have worked hard to put together hampers for some folk who need a helping hand this Christmas.
“The community has been so generous, not only in donations, but in the giving of their time as well,” she said.
Winters said five work bees, which in-cluded student and adult volunteers, were held this year. A total of 39 hampers were put together. Each hamper included a tur-key and all the trim-mings so each family could enjoy a delicious Christmas dinner. The hampers also included enough food for four or five days. Gifts for the children completed the Christmas hampers.
Hampers were de-livered on Dec. 17, but Winters is expecting another 10 hampers will be made up before Christmas.
Donations and re-quests are still being accepted at the Rimbey FCSS office which is open from 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Fri-
day and is located in the Provincial Building.
The food bank is located in the basement of the Nazarene Church and is open Wednesdays from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Those who need to access the Food Bank are asked to call FCSS first at 403-843-2030.

Christmases come and go and sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the season, its true meaning gets pushed aside, as do those special moments that are too special to be forgotten.
For Rimbey’s elected officials, the political wheel doesn’t stop at Christmas, but, for each and every one of them, as, indeed for all of us, Christmas has its own special memories which shouldn’t be hidden away, but brought out, dusted off and shared.
Christmas memories shared by town and county councillors

Mayor Rick Pankiw:“I think it was the year my
wife and our children went to Hawaii. It was about five years ago and one of the first times that we had gone out of the country during that time of year. It was very relaxing and fun to share Christmas in a dif-ferent country.”
Coun. Jack Webb:“Skating out at the Bluff-
ton rink on Christmas Eve with my two brothers. It was a tradition. I don’t do it any-more. I’m out of shape now.”
Coun. Matthew Jaycox:“Tobogganing down a hill
with my four siblings and my mom and dad all crowded on the toboggan. I grew up on a trading
post in Peerless Lake. It was very remote and we learned to
entertain ourselves. It was great fun. Also, I remember going to get a Christmas tree with my
dad and my brothers.”
County Reeve Paul McLauchlin:When I was nine I received
the Millennium Falcon from Starwars. It was my best pres-ent ever. Now its giving pres-ents to my kids. Christmas morning is pretty fun around here and I’m always putting together Lego of some sort.
Coun. Paul Payson:“Opening stockings that
our grandma had filled with little presents. She had a stock-ing for each of us. She did that every year until we were close to high school age.”
Coun. Brian Godlongton:“When I was 13 I got a set of Iroquois Snow-
shoes. I grew up in Saskatchewan and there was three and a half feet of snow on the ground that year, so they got put to use right away. And I remember 18 kids in our house at Christmas with all the cous-ins. We had the dairy, so we didn’t get away and everyone came to our house.”

By Treena Mielke
Enhanced services and patient care at Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre is the target of a donation campaign now underway.
The Rimbey Health Services Do-nation Committee is holding a post-card campaign this month as a way to raise funds for overhead patient lifts and a new physical therapy pool.
Presently, 4,000 postcards have been mailed to residents and business-es in Rimbey, Bentley, Bluffton, Buck Lake, Winfield and Eckville.
Overhead patient lifts are needed as they help move vulnerable care centre residents with less risk and less stress.
Ashlee Hamblin, development offi-cer for David Thompson Health Trust said 37 lifts are needed which will cost about $300,000.
“Some are already installed,” she said, noting Rimbey Co-op donated $8,000 last year to purchase a lift.
Another priority of the donation campaign is a new physical therapy pool to help rehab patients strengthen muscles, while decreasing stress on their joints and providing a higher quality of life while undergoing treat-ment.
The cost of the pool is $300,000.Rimbey Hospital did have a physi-
cal therapy pool, but it has not been in operation for the last two years, due to wear and tear and a leakage.
Hamblin said Rimbey was the only hospital in rural central Alberta that had a therapy pool and it is a service that is missed.
“It is great for physio patients,” she said.
Postcards provide information about the process of making a dona-
tion as well as information about the two projects.
The Rimbey Hospital & Care Cen-tre has identified the overhead patient lifts and the physical therapy pool as priorities this year, but donors may make a donation to the department or program that is most meaningful to them.
A current wish list of items throughout the facility is available at www.rimbneyhealthdonations.com/wishlist.
The Rimbey Health Services dona-tion committee works with the David Thompson Health Trust, which pro-vides services to communities in Cen-tral Alberta to support their efforts to raise funds for enhanced health care.
Donations can be made online for health care in Rimbey at donate.dthealthtrust.com/Rimbey.

Christmas around the worldContinued from Page 3
“The streets are decorated and little red en-velopes filled with lucky money are given to the kids.”
Huang said real orange trees ripe with Japanese oranges and flowers are everywhere and parades with people dressed as dragons fill the streets.
Jacqueline Coz and Madelin Sardina, both from Cuba, recall Christmas in the country of their birth as a quiet time.
“We didn’t celebrate Christmas a lot,” said Coz.
The ladies said their parents remembered a time when Christmas was celebrated, but after the revolution of 1959, the government changed and celebrations of the Christian holiday were frowned upon.
However, Sardina said the country is slowly beginning to celebrate, again.
“Little by little things are changing,” she said.In Cuba, a tradition which the ladies both
recalled was of The Three Magician Kings who brought gifts on Jan. 6.
These are the same Magi described in the ac-counts of the birth of Christ in the Bible.
Although Christmas trees can be seen in Cuba, the nativity scenes were a more important part of Cuban Christmas holidays.
Most Cuban manger sets are large and made of painted plaster.
Since coming to Canada, the longtime friends have been overwhelmed by the lavish celebrations that take place here during the festive season.
“I never knew about (hanging up) the stock-ings,” said Coz.
“I never had a Christmas dinner,” added Sar-dina.
Both ladies agreed the parties, the food, the presents and watching the kids open their presents are exciting and fun.
“We like it,” they said. “Everybody likes Christmas.”
Memories of a 1962 hayride in Prince Albert, SaskatchewanFrom grades three to eight I at-
tended Vincent Massey school in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan (reput-ed to be one of the roughest towns in Canada), home to five facilities of incarceration from a federal peniten-tiary to what was referred to at the time as a mental asylum. In the mid 1950s to the late 1960s my father was an officer with the provincial jail in that town.
For most of his service, he held the position of Stockman in the pris-ons farm annex and was in charge of approximately 30 inmates who were tasked with providing farm produce to the prison’s population. This practice satisfied two objectives. The first one was that it reduced the burden on the taxpayer. The second benefit was that inmates learned mar-ketable skills improving their chances of living a prosocial life without having to depend on crimi-nal enterprise upon release.
On the prison farm, engine powered machin-ery was in limited use during this era of the 1950s and 1960s. The main source of tractive power were 32 Clydesdale horses. My father was a very good horseman when it came to draft and heavy horses.
On many weekends throughout the winter months, he would harness a four or six horse hitch of Clydesdales on one or two sleighs and proceed from the jail’s livery barns to the residential streets
and avenues of south Prince Albert.When the brass sleighbells were
heard jingling down the street in the frosty winter air, parents would bun-dle up their children and send them out to meet the sleigh. I remember my profound pride in watching my father direct the massive assembly of horses and equipment right up in front of the waiting children and come to a complete stop so they could safely board the Sleigh. Ev-eryone liked my dad and trusted in his skill with the horses. The parents
were also aware that my dad volunteered his time and effort for the enjoyment of the community and never made anyone feel indebted.
The decks of the sleighs were covered with a couple of feet of fresh straw clean and dry. I bet we had 40 or 50 kids when we had two decks with a six horse hitch of Clydesdales. There were so many yelling, whistling and singing children ac-companied by neighing, snorting horses with steel shod hooves stamping out a trotting beat on the icy street with sleigh bells chiming in time. I also re-member the happy faces of people looking out of the windows of houses, apartments and tenement buildings along the random route. Here they were; snow shoveling citizens enjoying the interruption from their winter work to wave exuberantly to us as we passed by in our arctic caravan.
Classmates and friends from other schools running out from their houses to jump on the sleighs with great enthusiasm, jubilantly hollering their thanks to me as if I had been responsible for getting my dad to provide the adventure.
On the northeast corner of one intersection, there was an old house. It was the residence of the Miller family, a mother and two boys Bill and Henry. There was no dad. Many of us in those days were poor, but few as bad off as Bill and Henry who came running out of their old run down house wearing ragged old toques, mismatched mitts, threadbare cotton jackets with extra shirts on un-derneath when everyone else was wearing parkas. Bill, the older brother, had on a pair of blue jeans his brother had a pair of felt pants. Both were wearing men’s toe rubbers (the high kind, meant to be worn over ankle boots) several sizes too big allowing enough layers of socks to keep their feet warm.
Young Henry and I were in a state of perpetual conflict. Bill and I on the other hand got along very well even though he was two years older than I was.
As they came bounding toward the sleigh, I looked at Bill and Henry and hollered, “stop!” To this day, 51 years later I can remember the bewil-dered look on their faces. Here I was, in a posi-tion of presumed authority exercising a preroga-tive that did not belong to me. My dad asked me “what’s going on?” I said I did not want the Miller boys to come on the hay deck. Bill and Henry both heard my dad ask the question and they both heard my answer. I still recall the peculiar sense of power and shame that I felt. My dad never repined or even resisted my position but was completely
silent on the issue. The Miller boys abandoned their attempt to climb up on the deck and instead turned around and walked slowly back to their house.
Although I would not have been able to articulate it at the time, I do remember feeling that the corporate moral character of the party was in silent force against me.
Now that I’m a father, I realize the reason for my dad’s silence. If he had compelled me to act “prop-erly” and invite the Miller boys up on the deck, I would not have learned a valuable life lesson in compassion. In other words I have come to real-ize that my father must’ve known I
would benefit more from the intro-spective turmoil that only an active conscience can produce.
As for Bill and Henry, I sincerely apologize and appeal to your charac-ter (so markedly absent in me) to for-give my puerile and churlish actions so many years ago.
In this New Year – 2015 – may we all be as benevolent and chari-table as we can for the good of our communities and the sake of our conscience.
God bless you and have the best year ever.

10 The Rimbey Review, Dec. 23, 2014 COMMUNITY
BUISTIt is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thys (Tom) Buist. Tom went to be with his Lord surrounded by his close family on Dec 14, 2014 at the age of 82. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Henny Buist and his kids Tim (Darlene) Buist, Ken (Cynthia) Buist, Benita (William) Weenink, and Eric Buist. He will be missed by his thirteen grandchildren and his
close community of friends and extended family. Tom was born in Middelstum Holland in 1932, into a family of nine children. He is survived by his brother Bob (Jean) Buist and sister Alice Scholing, as well as fi ve siblings in Holland. In 1955 he immigrated to Canada to work with his brother Bob Buist, near Calgary. He met his wife Henny who is also from Holland, in Calgary in 1956 and they married the same year. In 1964 they made the courageous move to a homestead in Bluffton with two young children to begin dairy farming. He and Henny struggled through the fi rst winter, which was one of the worst on record, surviving without power or running water, and milking 10 cows by hand to ship cream for a living. They carved a living out of the land, had two more children and developed a successful mixed dairy and beef farm. They moved to Rimbey in 1992 to the Chester Rimbey place, where they continued to farm until 2011. Tom was a founding member of the Christian Reformed Church in Rimbey and he was passionate about serving the Church and congregation. One of his great pleasures was volunteering at the Rimbey thrift store where he will be sorely missed. In his later years, Tom became an avid cyclist and one of his favorite pastimes was cruising the roads around Rimbey and visiting his family and friends on his bicycle. To the end, Tom maintained a great sense of humor, a quick wit and a love for life. He will be greatly missed by his loving family, his friends and his community. Funeral services were held from the Christian Reformed Church in Rimbey, Alberta on Friday December 19 at 1:30 PM with Pastor Bill Nieuwenhuis offi ciating. Interment took place in the West Haven Cemetery. If friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to World Renew 3475 Mainway STN LCD 1 Burlington, ON L7R 3Y8 or to The Salvation Army 4837 54 Street Red Deer, AB. T4N 2G5. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family by visiting

In Loving Memory of “My Husband” Shane PikeJan. 18, 1966 - Dec. 20, 2012
You’ve just walked on ahead of meAnd I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you loveAnd let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can,But I’m missing you so much
If only I could see youAnd once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of meDon’t worry I’ll be fi ne.
But now and then I swear I feelYour hand slip into mine.
“Until we meet again, I will love you Forever and a Day.”
Love your wife Debbie
In memory ofKay Fulton
May 29, 1929 - Dec. 24, 2010
MUM Thinking of you at Christmas.
Though your smile is gone forever,and your hand we can not touch.Still we have so many memories
of the one we loved so much.Your memory is our keepsakewith which we will never partGod has you in his keepingwe have you in our hearts.
It is sad to walk to road alone,instead of side by side.
But to all there comes a momentwhen the ways of life divide.
You gave us years of happinessthen came sorrow and tears,
But you left us beautiful memories,we will treasure through the years.
~Lots of Love,Ross and Dorothy
In Loving Memory of “Our Dad”Shane Pike
Jan. 18, 1966 - Dec. 20, 2012
Dad is gone but not forgottenAnd, as dawns another yearIn lonely hours of thinking
Thoughts of him are always near.Many think the wound is healed
But little do they know of the sorrowThat lies in the heart concealed.
Always Loved and Never ForgottenLove your Daughter Nicole and Son Brandon
To the love of my life Allan James Dauphinee
Work always separates us on important days but so far we’ve kept the fl ame bright. Since Valentine’s Day 1995, when we met, our love has traveled for 19 years from Bonneville to Wabasca, Grande Prairie, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Robb and Fox Creek. while
remaining strong from Gull Lake. So looking forward to 19 more! You’re my small piece of Cape Breton.
Love you always, [email protected]

Teenager recovers
from surgery and is
home for ChristmasBy Treena Mielke
It looks like Melisa Crawford’s wish to have her son home with her for Christmas and safely recovered from surgery, has been granted.
Fifteen-year-old Khailnn Burdock underwent reconstructive surgery at the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. on Dec. 3. The surgery means the teen will be free of an ileostomy bag which he needed as a result of being diagnosed with SMAD 4, a gene mutation that attacks the internal organs.
“It was a success,” said Crawford. “And his re-covery has been amazing.”
Unfortunately, it seems Burdock’s medical problems are not over, and the young man has now been diagnosed with epilepsy.
“His seizures are becoming more and more frequent, but a lot of it is stress related,” said Crawford.
She is pleased to note, however, that Khailnn gained much needed weight after having the surgery, and the medication he has been prescribed is helping to control the seizures.
Crawford was able to bring her son home to Bluffton last week, and she said he held up on the trip well, though the flight was delayed.
They arrived home at 2 a.m. Dec. 16 and later that day they were busy decorating a Christmas tree.
“It is wonderful to have him here,” she said. “He is an amazing kid.”
Crawford is the mother of five children. Her 13-year-old Sean also lived with her in Bluffton and she is hoping to have all her children, who now live with their father, with her one day.
Born in the United
States, Crawford is having trouble making ends meet as she is unable to work in this country as she is not a Canadian citizen.
Support has been coming in from the commu-nity and Crawford is grateful for whatever help she receives.
“It just melts your heart. It is so appreciated,” she said.
For more information on the story check out A Family’s Christmas Wish by Melisa Crawford on Fundrazr/Facebook.
As well as cash donations, the family is also accepting donations of blankets, medium size De-pends, men’s warm winter clothing, size large and shoes, size 13. A washing machine is also needed.
Donations may be made by contacting Melisa at [email protected] or 403-704-9452 or Kerrie at 403-704-3011.
