The Lions Club International District 37-1 held a convention Oct. 26 to 27, to hear International Director Dave Hajny talk, and discuss other business of the Lions Club.
Rimbey hosts Lions Club convention
Jessie Irion from Drumheller is a different sort of Lion.
By Amelia Naismith The Rimbey Lions Club recently hosted the District 37-I convention, complete with presentations about STARS and dog guides. “We have a very active club here in Rimbey,� said club chair Judy Green. It’s tradition to have one of the clubs host the District Governor s Convention. Thirty-seven clubs from across central and southern Alberta and Montana travelled to Rimbey for the convention, Oct 26 and 27. STARS Air Ambulance is supported by Lions Clubs and attended as a way of showing their appreciation and to update the club. “STARS has a number of new initiatives, including expanding into Saskatchewan,� said Green. Green said STARS has also moved their base and has new aircraft in service. Dog guides, another beneficiary of the Lions, attended to explain

Canada is the greatest county in the world today because of the men and women who served in our armed forces during the Second World War. With every passing Remembrance Day the march to the cenotaph takes just a little bit longer; the veterans stoop a little bit more, their ranks a little bit thinner. Sixty-seven years after the end of the Second World War, the national memory of their sacrifices seems a little more distant. During this Veterans’ Week, we will honour the heroism and sacrifices of a generation of men and women who, fighting for Canada, served the cause of global freedom. Many of us today have no direct tie to the more than one million Canadians who served in the three major international conflicts we specifically observe at the cenotaph: the First World War, Second World War and the so-called Korean Conflict. Of course we should also take time to reflect and be thankful for the sacrifices Canadian soldiers continue to make around the world in the name of freedom. Everyone is invited to the Legion’s service Nov. 11. Students will also mark Veterans’ Week
with services of their own. Most will have no direct tie to today’s veterans but they need to know that many Canadian soldiers were young men of high school and university age who left their families and communities to serve overseas. They George Brown did it out of a sense of Off the Record national pride, dedication to a noble cause, and to be honest, their need for a steady paycheque after the hardships of the Great Depression. Remembrance Day doesn’t glorify or romanticize war like the screening of an old John Wayne movie. Talk to veterans this week and while they will freely admit to enjoying certain aspects of being a soldier overseas, such as developing a strong, lifetime camaraderie with other strapping young lads from across Canada and around the world, they will tell you that war is hell. Many won’t talk
about the horrors they saw or inflicted; and that doesn’t help us to understand why war is sometimes necessary as a last resort. We need to understand and share their distaste for war. Avoid the temptation to use the holiday to make an early start on Christmas shopping, sleeping in or playing video games with the kids. Turn off your cellphone and log off Facebook for the day. At the very least, stop what you’re doing at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 and observe two minutes of silence to pay your respects to those who have fought to protect our freedom over the last 95 years. Our national memory of war’s atrocities and its purposes would likely be lost without observing the ritual of Remembrance Day; it must be marked with our words and our actions. It’s not enough to drop a loonie in a bucket and pin a poppy on your lapel, although that’s a start. Our veterans need to know that we are grateful for their service and their sacrifice. Go to the Remembrance Day service and shake a veteran’s hand, thank him for serving on your behalf. Lest we forget.
Changing of guard in China, not system By the end of the day Nov. 6, we will know who will be the president of the United States for the next four years. We already know who will be the leader of China for the next 10 years, although Xi Jinping will not be officially installed in power until a few days later. But some would argue that is the more important event. The United States, after all, is a rich country with a stable and democratic political system. American politics has suffered a severe case of gridlock in recent years but nobody believes that it should be solved by radical changes in the US constitution. Any changes that result from the outcome of the election will be marginal, because that’s the way that most Americans want it. China, by contrast, has had 30 years of high-speed economic growth that has created huge inequality. There are a million Chinese millionaires, most of them closely linked to the ruling party, while most people get by on around $250 a month. Yet there has been no perceptible change in the Chinese political system in all these years — and the new guy’s family is stinking rich. Bloomberg revealed last June that Xi Jinping’s elder sister, his brotherin-law, and their daughter had property and investments worth at least $300 million. There is no evidence that Xi himself, who gets a ministerial salary of about $1,000 a month, is directly involved in these enterprises but his family’s rise to great wealth is typical of what has been happening in the senior cadres of the Chinese Communist Party. Indeed, the outgoing prime minister, Wen Jiabao, has an even bigger family problem. Wikipedia published a US diplomatic cable dated 2007 that quoted a business executive in Shanghai who said: “Wen is disgusted with his family’s activities but is either unable or unwilling to
Gwynne Dyer Guest Columnist
curtail them.” A New York Times investigation published last month estimated the Wen family’s wealth at $2.7 billion. The wealth problems of both of these men were dwarfed by those of the now-disgraced Bo Xilai, until recently the Communist Party chief in the city of Chongqing. The family’s wealth was only in the low hundreds of millions, but when Bo’s wife Gu Kailai fell out with a British businessman who helped them to transfer money abroad, she had him killed. Even among the Chinese elite, this is seen as excessive, and Gu is on trial for murder. Bo has been stripped of his offices and expelled from the Communist Party. But everybody knows that the families of senior officials mysteriously often end up very rich. Not all of the 2,987 members of the National People’s Congress, China’s rubber-stamp legislature, are rich — but the richest 70 of them, according to the Hurun Report, a magazine best known for its “China Rich List,” have a combined net worth of $85 billion. Virtually nobody believes in the old Communist ideology any more: “socialism with Chinese characteristics” is only another way of saying “capitalism plus authoritarianism.” The Party’s power survives because it has been able to deliver steadily rising living standards for most people, and because it has been fairly successful in persuading them that the only alternative to its rule is chaos. This is not a stable situation. No capitalist economy can avoid an occasional recession, but that kind of cyclical decline in jobs and incomes is dangerous for a system whose
credibility depends on providing continuous growth. The Chinese regime has been good at postponing the inevitable — it escaped the 2008 recession by massive public spending — but at some point in the relatively near future, there will be a major recession in China. The resemblance between the current Chinese economic bubble and the great Japanese bubble of the 1980s is close enough to suggest that the hangover may be just as great in China when the bubble finally bursts. Two decades later Japan is still unable to get its economy growing again, but its political system has survived because it is democratic and because the level of corruption is relatively low. The Chinese regime’s lack of democratic legitimacy and its manifest corruption make it very vulnerable in such a situation. The economic misery would be compounded by massive civil unrest, and it might even bring the end of Communist rule. Most of the senior people in the Party will be well aware of this but
they seem incapable of doing anything about it. Part of the problem is that they remember all too clearly what happened to the old Soviet Communist Party when it started trying to reform itself under Mikhail Gorbachev. It disintegrated instead. An even bigger obstacle to change is the degree to which the economic interests of the elite are linked to the present, deeply corrupt system. If apparently honest men like Wen Jiabao and Xi Jinping are unable to control the reckless greed of their own relatives, what hope is there that the Party can change its behaviour in time to avert disaster? The coronation of Xi Jinping probably won’t make any difference at all. You might as well watch the American election. At least there is some uncertainty about the outcome.

The Rimbey Review, November 6, 2012 5
Honesty wanted from MLA Anglin Dear Editor: This letter is in response to the article in the Oct.30 issue of the Rimbey Review entitled, Anglin speaks out against the Electric Utilities Amendment Act. I found it very disturbing that MLA Joe Anglin does not know why DC powerlines were approved. It is expected of our elected officials to show honesty as well as the buzzwords of transparency and accountability in their interaction with their constituents. I do not believe these attributes have been shown by Mr. Anglin. Quite the opposite. As a landowner rights advocate and leader of the Lavesta Area Group, Joe was a strong proponent of DC power transmission lines and now he claims to not know where the Conservatives got the idea of using DC power transmission lines. I suggest Joe look in the mirror for the answer to his concerns. The following excerpt allegedly posted by Joe Anglin on the Daveberta blog site on Oct. 28, 2009
states as follows: “Also, the only reason HVDC is being proposed is because of my efforts. HVDC was originally rejected outright when I first got involved and it took three years to get AESO to approve the use of the technology. I take full credit for advancing the HVDC argument in regards to this issue.” We all know that an MLA is a politician, and Mr. Anglin’s position on this topic is well expressed as shown in the following web posting from The Tyee of Feb. 8, 2011: adds Anglin. “I don’t think Alberta’s politicians are bad or evil but they are incompetent and dumber than your average monkey. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught them lying.” (thetyee) I know it is a large order, but it would sure be nice to see a little more honesty and less deception in our governments.

Canada E. Coli beef scare isn’t an end-all for producers Dear Editor: I was disappointed with the negativity shown in the “Sad state of the beef industry” guest column by Sylvain Charlebois in the Oct. 30 edition. Upon further analysis, the negativity seemed to stem from wrongly using the term “beef industry” to apply to everyone in the production chain from the rancher through to the beef retailer. To have a better understanding of the issues we need to differentiate between cattle producers — predominantly family farms and ranches — and the “industrial” side of beef production dominated by corporate giants in the processing and retailing sectors. This differentiation has important implications relating to what the writer correctly identified as changing consumer demands. The consumer is becoming more interested and informed on their food supply and how the animals are raised and as a cattle producer I see this as a
positive thing. We direct-market beef from a proportion of our herd direct to consumers and it’s clear from the phenomenal growth in demand that Canadians still stand firmly behind the farmers and ranchers producing their beef. Rather than seeing a sad state of affairs I see great opportunity ahead for Canadian cattle producers to reconnect with beef consumers eager to have a discussion about safe, wholesome food production. With more consumers than ever wanting to buy direct from their trusted farmer or rancher, this offers the opportunity to break the stranglehold corporate concentration in the processing and retailing sectors has on cattle producers. Hopefully this will lead to a more prosperous cattle sector and at the same time provide Canadian consumers with a great product they enjoy and trust on a more sustainable basis. Iain Aitken, Rimbey
Resident wants alley blocked Dear Editor: As a resident of 5319 Drader Crescent, I strongly favour closing off the alley located behind my residence. We have concerns about this unsafe alley and have seen a few mishaps. My kids and others almost get hit daily; not to mention our family pets who are just sitting in our yard. The drivers who often cut through this al-
ley, cut the corner and use our lawn as part of the road allowance. Often they speed through this area as well, spitting and sliding on the gravel. On one occasion, the back of our son’s parked car was even run into. I want this alley blocked off and area users shouldn’t mind driving on the public roads specifically built for that area.

OPINION
The Rimbey Review, November 6, 2012 7
On the path to balanced budgets, job growth This month, the government officially tabled its second budget implementation bill, C-45 Jobs and Growth 2012. Our government understands for Canadians to be prosperous, we need a strong and stable economy. That’s why economic growth has been and will remain our top priority. This legislation implements key measures from Economic Action Plan 2012 that will help grow the Canadian economy, support job creation and secure our long-term prosperity. This includes the popular Hiring Credit for Small Business that gives employers an incentive to hire new workers by giving them a break on their EI payments for each new employee. It also includes changes to MPs pensions. These changes will see pensions fall more in line with the private sector by moving toward a 50-50 cost sharing model and pushing back the age of eligibility
to 65. Over the next five years these changes along with similar adjustments to the public service pensions will save taxpayers $2.6 billion. These types of measures will help us stay on the right track despite ongoing global economic uncertainty. Through our Economic Action Plan we have helped the Canadian economy grow over 820,000 net new jobs since July 2009, the best job creation record in the G7. This legislation will keep Canada’s economy on the right track. This Conservative government is spending taxpayer dollars responsibly and efficiently to continue our economic success and reduce our deficit. The results speak for themselves: since July 2009 our debt-to-GDP ratio is the lowest in the G7 and our deficit is half of what it was two years ago. Unfortunately, while the government continues
to support economic growth, the NDP is focused on promoting their $21 billion carbon tax. This tax would not only take money out of the pockets of hardworking Canadians but kill jobs and cripple businesses. We will always be against job-killing tax increases that will hinder Canadians. Our government will stay on track and support economic growth and work towards a balanced budget.

Young aircraftsman helped in occupied Germany By Amelia Naismith He had just turned 18 when he found himself as a British aircraftsman, heading over to Germany with the occupation force after the Second World War had ended. Eric Hornsey spent three years in the military, from 1955 to 1958. “At that time there was a two-year national service. Everyone over 18 had to do it.” It was either a twoyear conscription service or a three-year regular service with benefits. Hornsey enlisted when he was 17 and a half. “Another six months and they would have put me conscription. So I beat them to the punch and joined up before.” “I was in the air force. We were the ground defense for the airfield,” said Hornsey. He used 40mm anti-aircraft guns that could fire 240 rounds per minute. As part of their practice, Hornsey and other boys would travel to Kiel, Germany twice a year and shoot the guns at drogues, which were pulled behind planes as targets. For a short time Hornsey served a border guard with the British Air Force in Russia. “We guarded Eric Hornsey stands outside the Royal Canadian Legion. Hornsey was the border between the president of the Legion in 1982, 2003 and 2004. Russian sector and the Photo by Amelia Naismith British sector.” Two and a half years were spent with the Wildenrath Airfield in Germany. “We were mobile so we could defend any airfield.” The boys would dig holes for the anti-aircraft guns, move them from place to place, camouflage them and pretend to go to war, said Hornsey with a laugh. While Hornsey enjoyed his time in the military he didn’t enjoy every job he had to do. Digging holes for the guns while it rained and the ground turned into muddy soup was one such occasion. He also didn’t like the parades hosted for dignitaries. Hornsey and the other boys practiced drills for weeks on end, sometimes in the pouring rain, to show a dignitary who may or may not even look at them. Once a week one of the boys, with a loaded machine gun, accompanied a courier to the Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. There a briefcase with unknown containments was loaded onto a plane. “That wasn’t a fun job. You never knew what you were going to run into,” said Hornsey. During Britain’s occupation of Germany, anti-aircraft guns and other machinery were shipped back to Britain. Anything that wasn’t functioning 100 per cent was burned and or buried. Hornsey recalls tents with missing zippers being burned in holes in the ground. That was another task he didn’t like; digging the burn pits. However, despite some unpleasantries Hornsey believes the military taught him a lot. “I think the military gives you a different perspective on life because you’re not your own boss. You learn to be responsible and take care of the job you were paid to do.” Hornsey’s respect for the military was transferred to his son, David Hornsey, who was a part of it for 20 years. David, a member of the Royal Canadian Legion like his father, served in Bosnia, Croatia and Afghanistan.

Take time to remember Veterans’ Week, Nov. 5 to 11 This year’s poster features the National War Memorial that stands majestically in Confederation Square in the heart of downtown Ottawa. The National War Memorial, unveiled in 1939 to commemorate the response of Canadians in the First World War, has over the years come to symbolize the sacrifice of all Canadians who have served Canada in times of war, armed conflict and peace. Rising 21 metres from its base, the memorial consists of an arch of granite surmounted by emblematic bronze figures of Peace and Freedom. Shown advancing through the archway are 22 bronze figures symbolic of the “Great Response” of the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who answered the call to serve. The tulips at the base of the monument symbolize Canada’s contribution in the liberation of the Netherlands. More than 7,600 Canadians gave their lives for freedom in the Netherlands and Canada would play another important role for the country. During the war, some members of the royal family of the Netherlands found sanctuary in Canada and in 1943, Princess Margriet was born in a section of the Ottawa Civic Hospital that was temporarily made territory of the Netherlands so the princess could be born on Dutch soil. These powerful connections helped form warm bonds of friendship and respect between the Dutch and the Canadians that continue to this day. The evidence of this enduring connection may be seen in the tulips — gifts from the Netherlands — that bloom in Ottawa each spring.

Canada makes large contribution in World War II The First World War was called “the war to end all wars” but sadly, it did not. Barely 20 years after the end of the First World War, Canada found itself in conflict again. The Second World War (1939-1945) truly was a worldwide conflict and Canadians served around the globe from the Arctic to Southeast Asia. More than one million Canadian men and women enlisted and more than 40,000 died protecting peace and freedom. The war had a huge impact on Canada. In 1939 the navy, army and air force, as well as the Merchant Navy, were relatively small. However, by the end of the war, Canada’s navy, air force and Merchant Navy were among the largest in the world. Many of the places where Canadians served during the war — Hong Kong, Dieppe, Ortona, Normandy, the Scheldt and the Netherlands, to name just a few-still echo in the country’s consciousness more than 60 years later. The fighting also took place closer to home. The Battle of the Atlantic brought
the front lines to Canada’s doorstep as the Germans attacked Allied shipping along the East Coast. Canada’s war effort on the home front led to impressive advances in science and industry and helped transform our society in many ways — from the expanded roles of women to our country’s position as a new world power in technology and manufacturing. In many ways, the Second World War changed the country forever. A Victoria Cross during the Battle of the Atlantic The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest battle of the Second World War, lasting from the war’s first day to its last. It was a showdown between the Allies who were transporting desperately-needed troops and supplies from North America to Europe and the Germans who wanted to cut that supply line. Canadians showed great courage during the Battle of the Atlantic. Flight-Lt. David Hornell of the Royal Canadian Air Force

earned a Victoria Cross (the highest award for military valour a Canadian could earn) in 1944 for his actions while attacking a German U-boat. Hornell’s plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire but he and his crew courageously kept up their attack and sank the enemy submarine. Hornell then had to land his damaged plane on the waves. The crew had to take turns sitting in the one undamaged lifeboat. Hornell encouraged his crew during the 21 hours it took for them to be rescued, but the crash and the ensuing exhaustion were too much and he died shortly after. His crew credited Hornell with saving their lives. When they were ready to give up he proved a selfless and caring leader. The extreme emotions of war are difficult to capture on paper or film, but journalists and photographers have worked hard to document Canada’s efforts in conflicts over the years. During the Second World War, as had been done during the First World War, Canadian artists were also sent overseas to create works depicting the contributions of

our men and women in uniform. This war art tradition has continued during Canada’s efforts in Afghanistan. A Long Time Far from Home Being away from home for years on end was a hard reality for many Canadians who served in the Second World War. Some men who had to leave their pregnant wives at the outbreak of the war in 1939 would not see their new sons or daughters until they returned at war’s end in 1945. Imagine meeting your own child for the first time after being away from home for almost six years. That happily-expected baby would be in the first grade. Enemy Spies in Canada German submarines brought the war to Canada’s shores during the Second World War. In 1942 and again in 1944, U-boats slipped into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence River, looking for Allied targets. Ships were torpedoed less than 300 kilometres from Québec City.

Wartime led to a career for some soldiers By Amelia Naismith Being a part of the war effort didn’t always mean travelling overseas. Some men and boys who joined the army worked from the home front. Fred Harrison joined the Canadian Army in 1940. “I was in it for 25 years.” During his career Harrison worked across Canada in cities, including Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg. “When the war started I went
down and volunteered. I ended up as a technician at the last part of the war,” said Harrison. “They wouldn’t ship me overseas, I was medically unfit,” he explained. Harrison worked as a technician for guns and other artillery. He worked on almost every he could have, expect vehicles. After Harrison retired from the military he retuned to his farm west or Rimbey, near Leedale, and eventually retired in Rimbey.

Remembrance Day envelops community By Amelia Naismith Rimbey’s Royal Canadian Legion and Ladies Auxiliary are in the final preparations for another year’s Remembrance Day ceremony. “We have a basic ceremony every year,” said legion president Barbara Patey. “The people who come come every year.” Basic or not the ceremony is a meaningful, heartfelt ceremony for those involved and the community. “Remember. It’s not only one day a year, it should be more often,” said Patey. “I feel it’s very important we remember.” Patey said the day and veterans should be honoured because all generations have lived with war. Younger generations have Afghanistan while older generations have lived through the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The Nov. 11 ceremony will be held at the Rimbey Community Centre and begins at 10:45 a.m. It will include a colour party march in and the traditional laying of the wreaths. Around Remembrance Day a poppy campaign takes place. “The money from the poppy campaign is given mostly to the needs of the veterans and their families,” said Patey. Money is also given in support of the Air Cadets and a Grade 11 bursary.
For Remembrance Day a poster, poem and literacy contest is held in schools. The entries are judged locally then for the area, finally provincially. “The work that the students do here can go all the way to Dominion,” said Patey. “It’s coming up and the kids should start thinking about what they’ll do for their poems and their artwork,” she added. Pre –Remembrance Day services will be held throughout the community at schools and the hospital: 10 a.m. at the Outreach School, Nov. 7; 10 a.m. at the Christian school, 10:30 a.m. at Rimbey Junior Senior High School, and 2 p.m. at the hospital, Nov. 8; 10:30 a.m. at Rimbey Elementary School, Nov. 9.

RCMP investigate sex case Last week the Rimbey RCMP responded to 43 complaints, consisting mostly of collisions and other driving related offences. Mounties investigate old sex case Rimbey RCMP are investigating a historic sexual assault on a child, and a separate child abuse file. Police with the assistance of partner agencies are offering assistance to the victims and their families. Senior caught driving while suspended A member of the Rimbey RCMP was off duty at a community event and noticed a man who had recently been convicted of impaired driving, drive to the event. The officer was aware the man was suspended from driving as a result of that conviction. Upon returning to duty, the officer arrested the man and impounded his vehicle for 30 days. A 67-year-old resident of Rimbey is facing a criminal charge of driving while suspended. The usual punishment for this offence is 30 days in jail. In a rush to get caught A 20-year-old resident of Edmonton, who had just finished working in the Rimbey area, was in a hurry to get back to the big city. This Edmontonian felt it would be a good idea to pass a fully marked police car that was doing the speed limit. This of course resulted in the man being stopped. A search of the vehicle garnered a seizure of drugs and open liquor. He was issued a 24-hour licence suspension and his vehicle was impounded. This man now has a courtordered trip back to Rimbey to answer to his criminal charges. Back to jail for parole violator A 50-year-old Rimbey man on parole was required to check into the detachment and abstain from drinking liquor. On Oct. 26 this man had a tough decision to make: either not show up to check in or check in and risk being caught for drinking liquor. He chose Single car rollover: On Oct. 27, approximately 9 p.m., four miles west to drive to the detachment and check in and the fact he was drinking was immediately detected by memof Rimbey on Highway 53, a car went into the ditch and rolled to a stop bers of the detachment. This man was sent back to after travelling through the air. The female driver was trapped for a jail for his parole violation and has also been charged short time in the car. She was then taken to Rimbey Hospital by EMS. with failing to provide a breath sample. His vehicle RCMP and Fire Rescue attended the scene. APN photo was impounded and his licence suspended indefinitely. BUYING OR Full moon fever Not everyone was SELLING?

Teashop grand opening begins lifetime dream By Amelia Naismith When it’s high time for teatime the solution can be found in Rimbey’s recently opened specialty teashop and café. Valerie-Ray St-Jean, steeping expert and owner, held the grand opening for My SpeacialTeas on Nov. 1. She also held a soft opening Oct. 29. “It’s been very well taken by the townspeople,” said St-Jean. St-Jean used to manage the Best Western Hotel but it was a birthday present from her sister that got her started on a lifelong dream. “I’ve always had a soft spot for teahouses,” she said. St-Jean’s sister gave her a box full of teapots, telling her it was inspiration to start living the dream. St-Jean had talked about owning
a teashop before but that present was the catalyst to switch her life’s direction. “That was pretty much my push and go. When it’s right, it’s right,” explained St-Jean. She loves working in the service industry and likes being able to give her customers one-on-one treatment. “You come for the experience,” she said, at a loss for words to explain her cosy, warm and brightly lit shop featuring both tables and sitting areas for drinking and visiting. St-Jean plans to host high tea once a month, grandparent-grandchild tea days, as well as princessthemed birthday party teas in her princess room. She will also make deliveries to the manors once a week for those who can’t get around easily in the winter.

Better recycling needed By June Norvila
At the Oct. 9 regular meeting council moved to approve a 10 per cent electric distribution franchise fee. Bentley had historically held the line with no increase in the past. For 2013 Fortis Alberta will now charge a 10 per cent fee, noted on each customer’s bill, and will collect it for the town. It is projected it will give the town close to $50,000 in revenue for general funds and to put into reserves. It was felt the impact on customer’s bills would be small — averaging less than $5 a month per average bill and therefore less than $60 annually. Council recently passed a motion to borrow $930,852 in the short term to help finance their share of the cost of the new emergency services building. Council supports Tyler Jordan DD Generals (Honours) The town is looking forward to helping the Bentley Generals host the Allan Cup in Red Deer and is sponsoring the first game.

The Rimbey Review, November 6, 2012 17
Wife escapes life of abuse and oppression By Amelia Naismith This article comes from an anonymous interview with a formerly abused woman. Names have been changed. November is a time to remember those who’ve fought and are still fighting to survive; November is Family Violence Prevention Month. Many woman and children suffer in silence but between April and October approximately 228 others are helped through resources of the Central Alberta Woman’s Emergency Shelter, which can be reached at 403-346-5643. It all started when a young, rural schoolgirl dropped out at 15 years old. By 16 she’d moved in with her 20-year-old boyfriend. That man was abusive and she stayed for only two years. “There was alcohol involved, but I did get out when I was 18,” said Darlene. However the young woman took something from that relationship with her; at 19 she had a baby. After the relationship ended Darlene went back to school and achieved her high school GED. A few years after that initial relationship the young woman met another man, they married when she was 23. He came from a good family and seemed to be a nice guy. No one would have guessed what would conspire behind closed doors. “His family was very prominent in the community. He was very involved in the community, everybody likes him, he presents well,” she said. “There was a bit of abuse, jealousy, manipulation,” said Darlene. “He thought fighting was a means of arguing” Her new husband tried to control as much of her life as he could. Items such as clothing and shoes where regulated for both her and her daughter from the previous relationship. When Darlene had another child, with this man, its clothing was also regulated. Along with verbal, physical, and emotional abuse there was financial abuse. This man liked control so much that his wife didn’t have access to the main bank account. If she came home with a treat or something as small as a new pair of shoes for the children
that he didn’t like, he would take the money out of her separate account. Her husband also controlled where Darlene went. “I had to check in with him at all times.” She recalls a time when she stayed out two hours later than she was supposed to, to have coffee with a friend who was going through a rough time. She was punished for breaking “curfew.” The tires where taken off her vehicle and it was put on blocks. Darlene also talked about how strict and defined her life became in that relationship. “I had my roles.” In her home a woman did stereotypical women’s work. Her husband never did any sort of housework. Only she could do that and it always had to be done perfectly and on time or consequences ensued. There was a time the man had to go to a crop share but the jeans he wanted to wear weren’t dry yet. “He literally rapped my head against the washing machine and threw me against the wall. Beatings were never just physical. Demeaning and lewd insults where thrown too. However, any abuse typically took place below the neck to avoid suspicion. If bruises on her arms were visible she could easily blame it on working around the farm. Nobody ever questioned the bruises or her excuses because of the image both Darlene and her husband portrayed. On the outside she was a happy farmwife and working mother; he was a hard working farmer and pillar of the community. “I lived two lives,” she said. “Although I still lived a life that appeared normal behind closed doors I lived a very abusive marriage.” Over the years the abuse escalated; from physical and verbal to emotional, financial and to sexual abuse. Darlene explained even if she was tired her body was never her own. When it came to intimacy she didn’t have a choice as to whether she wanted it. Her husband also accused her of infidelity several times. If she talked to a male friend of her husband for too long she was accused of cheating. Over the course of the marriage she gained 258 pounds to try and stop the accusations. “I wasn’t allowed any male friends. I wasn’t al-
November focuses on dating violence November is Family Violence Prevention Month in Alberta and an opportunity to remind Albertans that help is available to those who are in a violent relationship. Family violence affects far too many people in Alberta and can have a lasting and devastating impact on individuals throughout their lives, said Human Services Minister Dave Hancock. In particular, we are focusing on dating violence and the far-reaching consequences it can have for Albertans, especially young people in our province. Getting information into their hands so they know resources are available to help someone experiencing abuse is critical Young people, with much less experience to draw on when making decisions in dating relationships, can be especially vulnerable to dating violence. On Nov. 6, from 10 until 11:30 a.m., experts on preventing dating violence will participate in a panel discussion at Salisbury Composite High School in
Sherwood Park. The discussion will be webcast live, and interested schools, youth, Albertans and people around the world will be able to tune in and ask questions about dating violence. Visit www.familyviolence.alberta.ca for details and information on how to connect. Alberta has many available resources that can help someone in a relationship they think may be unhealthy or abusive. The Family Violence Info Line at 310-1818 helps Albertans reach out to those affected by any kind of dating, intimate partner or family violence. This help is available anytime, toll-free province wide, in more than 170 languages. For more information and resources, as well as a listing of Family Violence Prevention Month events happening across Alberta, visit www.familyviolence. alberta.ca. The provincial budget for family violence prevention has grown to more than $65 million in 2012.

She never cheated, although the opportunities had come. She says he, however, did cheat. When he wasn’t farming her husband worked for a fracking company and used to travel, where he would get prostitutes. When they were together she said he would taunt her, saying he could buy better than what she gave him. In the public’s eye she acted like a perfect trophy wife because she knew what would happen if she didn’t. But at the same time Darlene became withdrawn from friends and family, who still didn’t know what was happening. She says his family knew but they played dumb. “By then I was too embarrassed,” she said, referring to why she didn’t tell anyone. “You always feel like it’s your fault. They make you feel like it’s your fault. I made excuses for him too, if he drank I blamed it on the alcohol.” However, she said her husband wasn’t actually a heavy drinker and would occasionally have a social drink. There was a time when Darlene phoned a woman’s shelter. She’d had been beaten and strangled to unconsciousness. She awoke to her husband taunting her. “Although he knew he did it he was trying to convince me I was crazy.” But when the phone at the shelter picked up she hung up. Because her husband’s name was so well known she was afraid she’d be recognized. “When you’re a farm girl you have a lot of pride,” she said. “When she asked me my name I shut down and
phone. hung uup hung p th thee ph phon onee At 29 years old, six years into the marriage, Darlene swallowed a handful of pills. But when she looked up she saw her young daughter chasing a butterfly. “I made myself puke up the pills.” The relationship lasted only one year after the suicide attempt. It was Darlene’s mother-in-law who helped her get out. She believes her mother-in-law’s guilt spurred the help. Darlene was missing a large patch of hair and the mother-in-law saw that. “The words she said to me is, “You’re not living my life”. Getting out of the marriage at 30 years old was also Darlene’s birthday present to herself. She was married in an abusive relationship seven years. Three years later she found love again; they’ve been together for seven years. Darlene’s still trying to get a divorce. She has primary and 50 per cent custody of her children. Throughout her abusive marriage there is one thing Darlene did; document what happened with pictures, journals and dates. “As a professional, somebody in the workforce, I know to log everything.” She knew she needed to leave, but women in that situation rarely act on what they know. Looking back she says there’s an abuse cycle other woman should look for. It has three stages: honeymoon, escalation and outburst. During the honeymoon stage she would get presents, trips and money. But he never apologized and he never stopped hurting her. “It never gets better, it only escalates.”

As of Oct. 26 Project 84 officially closed. The post office has removed the recycling bins from their lobby since the project’s volunteers will no longer be around to maintain them. A volunteer with Project 84 used to pick up the contents from the post office’s containers and recycle it. However, without the project that can’t happen anymore, said assistant CAO Melissa Beebe. “We have removed the bins from the lobby. We’re not necessarily in the recycling business, we’re essentially a delivery service,” said Scott Cloarec, Canada Post superintendent for the area of Wetaskiwin. However, with residential curbside recycling both

Cloarec and Beebe encourage people to take their flyers and other post office recyclable home. The town’s recycling operation, 6200-40 Street, is open Tuesday through Friday, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6p.m. to make recycling easier and more accessible. “We hope they can use the flyers and take them home,” said Cloarec. He believes this is a good time for people to take advantage of sales and other deals found in flyers to get a head start on Christmas shopping. If, without the post office’s bins, recyclable garbage starts to accumulate around the post office Cloarec says there are measures in place. “If we start having an issue there we can deal with it.”
Removed bins spark controversy Dear Editor: So I guess there will be three large garbage bins showing up at a garage sale in Rimbey soon. Remember the last guy who tried to remove them from the lobby of the post office? It did not take long for him to come to his senses. I am all for recycling; for the past 33 years I have taken my papers and flyers to the Project 84 centre. Project 84 is now closed. The guys who are supposed to pick up recyclables every two weeks did not take my papers a few weeks ago because they were not in a blue see-through bag, just a clear one. Now I am supposed to drive out of town to take an unwanted septic tank cleaning advertisement to the new recycling depot? Ha! I refuse to be held hostage by business hours there. If Rimbey wants to be a big town, then it should learn from other big towns that have those large container bins placed in a convenient location in town, in some cases even with designations for the specific recyclables. Edo Deweert
Dan Donald would like to thank family and friends for the lovely 80th Birthday Party, and all the help!

The Rimbey Review, November 6, 2012 19
Wolf Creeks schools test pilot new program By Amelia Naismith Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS) are continuing to advance an inclusive education initiative that began development in 2009. At their Oct. 16 school board meeting, trustees were given a presentation on the Action on Inclusion initiative and its direction by Amber Hester, assistant superintendent of student services. Action on Inclusion is a direction for education, set by the Alberta government to improve learning for students. Development started with best-practice research, focus groups and input from parents. “We didn’t just randomly say, ‘We should do inclusion.’ There was research,” said Hester. “We had to say, ‘OK is that the right thing to do? What would the literature tell us? What would past practice tell us?’” During development, focus groups where used to make suggestions and provide input on the project. “The focus groups, working with Alberta Education resulted in a document called Setting the Direction,” said Hester. The Alberta government met with ministries to discuss setting the direction and developed an Inclusive Education Cross-Ministry Team, which signed an agreement to ensure a commitment to collaborate on supporting students. Over the past year WCPS has worked with Alberta Initiative for School Improvement (AISI), student service facilitators (SSFs) and administrators to create a common understanding of Action on Inclusion. In WCPS and Alberta, an inclusive education means every student will be included in the greater school community. However, that doesn’t mean every student will be placed in a regular classroom. Students will be placed in an environment deemed best for them by all parties and will ensure their success. Who those parties are depends on the student and their needs, but usually includes teachers, parents and SSFs, However, other groups, such as mental health professionals can be involved. “Some of our students are very complex and need a lot of people around the table,” said Hester. WCPS believes students should receive fair support. According to the presentation, that doesn’t mean every student will get the same support but will
receive the support they need, based on individual needs. Over the past year WCPS began to move from discussing inclusion and the initiative to putting in into action. These actions include a pilot project over the next year with seven schools from the WCPS division: Rimbey Elementary School, Clive School, Lacombe Outreach, Wolf Creek Academy, Iron Ridge Junior High, and Bentley School. “They are piloting a systemic way of supporting students that is grounded in collaboration and building capacity with teachers to meet the needs of all students,” explained Hester. Over the next year the schools will work through a process meant to support both students and staff. “They’re helping refine and add to the documents that will be rolled out next year for all schools in Wolf Creek, she said. However, it’s been recognized a teacher as an individual doesn’t have enough time, knowledge or skills to meet the needs of every student. Trustee Bob Huff expressed his concern for this at the meeting. Huff believes there are already many demands placed on staff, such as Century 21 Goals implementation, the pyramids of intervention, extracurricular factors and volunteers. He’s apprehensive about the time and demands it’ll take to implement Action on Inclusion into a classroom. “They’ve got their lesson plans, they’ve got their marking, they’ve got their discipline, so where am I going with this? It’s great and wonderful stuff but I think of those people out there who’ve got 30 kids in the classroom, 35 kids in the classroom. They’ve been teaching for a long time or they’re just coming out and they’re learning how to teach,” said Huff. “How do we provide the staff with the tools to do all these things?” However, Hester explained the pilot provides tools for teachers. Instead of simply asking schools to include Action on Inclusion in their programs the plan will support them to do so, said Hester. “We’re just excited. There have been lots of changes with Alberta Education.” Hester feels the changes align with WCPS’s goals and Action on Inclusion is only refining what’s already being done in the education system.

SPORTS
Volleyball teams take to tournaments By Amelia Naismith Volleyball season is winding down but Rimbey Junior Senior High School had several teams attend tournaments recently. The senior girls team attended a tournament in Rocky Mountain House. “I anticipate making the playoffs. We’ve made the playoffs in every tournament,” said coach Lisa Shukin. Shukin said the team sometimes loses in the playoffs or semifinals to larger schools with stronger teams. The senior team also played in Olds the weekend of Oct. 27. “We lost in the playoffs,” said Shukin. “We lost to Sylvan Lake.” The final scores were 25-21 and 25-20 However, Shukin is proud of her team. “The girls did rise to the occasion,” she said. Overall, Shukin said the season was inconsistent. “But when we play the stronger teams we play stronger.” However, she said on an individual basis the players improved a lot. Shukin is pleased with the newer girls who grew by “leaps and bounds” and of the volleyball veterans. “My returning players continue to be very solid. They provide a good foundation for the team.” The junior A girls played in Ponoka on the Oct. 27, where they beat St. Augustine 17-15. “They where the tournament champions,” said Shukin. The team also competed over the weekend. The Grade 8 junior B girls competed in a league tournament the weekend of Oct. 27. They won their league, said Shukin. “They won all their games,” she added. The B team had a tournament in Red Deer over the weekend The Grade 7 girls junior B team is done for the season. They had their windup tournament Oct. 27. Shukin said their coach, Robyn MacEachern, was impressed with the girls’ improvements over the season. Results from the most recent tournaments weren’t available by press time. Rimbey Junior Senior High School will host volleyball provincials Nov. 22 to 24.

The Rimbey Review, November 6, 2012 27
De-clutter your office, de-clutter your life The 8-Minute Organizer by Regina Leeds c.2012, Da Capo Lifelong Books $13.99/$16.50 Canada 218 pages Somewhere on the top of your desk, you keep a calendar. The calendar is next to a few important files Terri you need for work. You stash a dedicated pen with Schlichenmeyer the documents, just so it’s The Bookworm handy, and you’ve paper clipped some notes there, just as a reminder. You’ve even color-coded the folders. And if you could ever find those folders, you’d find the calendar — which you haven’t actually seen since last Tuesday. There’s a desk somewhere inside your mess, and now there’s hope for you, too. Read the new book The 8-Minute Organizer by Regina Leeds and you’ll reclaim your office in almost no time at all. Have you ever noticed how, sometimes, you can’t think straight when you’re sitting at your desk? Regina Leeds knows why: clutter is noisy, she says. It “seems to emit a frequency that makes clear thinking virtually impossible…” Yeah, you need to organize, but your mess may as well be a mountain. Leeds says that it needn’t be overwhelming, though. Clutter can be tackled in three easy steps, and you can do it in mere minutes. Before you get started, try to understand how your office got this way in the first place. Was your childhood home in disarray? Were your parents messy or neat? Are you sharing office space with someone who’s also disorganized? Knowing these answers will help you break bad habits and determine where you’re headed. Next, take stock and eliminate that which is unneeded, outdated, superfluous, or redundant. Don’t be afraid to shred paper, and if there’s too much to comfortably do in eight minutes, then spend eight minutes looking for a shredding service. Toss old magazines, junk mail, and catalogues. Next, make a set of “action files” and start sorting. Categorize paper to create a system that makes sense to you (but don’t overdo; keep it simple). Store receipts and important information in a safe place, and if you don’t know what’s important, ask your accountant. Categorize office supplies, too, so you know what you’ve got. This step, by the way, can be done in eight-minute increments over several days’ time. Lastly, organize what’s left. Archive. Scan to your computer. Rearrange. And once you’ve found your calendar, set a date to do it all again next month. Pick up a copy of The 8-Minute Organizer, and you’ll see a lot about de-cluttering your home. You may think that isn’t going to help your business any, but admit it: messy here, probably messy there.
And neither has to be that way. Author Regina Leeds helps her readers start small by putting a time limit on what’s done, by working in baby-steps, and by offering support and a little
cheerleading. Leeds makes organization seem easy, and her no-nonsense common-sense takes the stress out of cleaning a mess. I liked The 8-Minute Organizer because I
