Rimbey remembers its soldiers’ sacrifices By Treena Mielke At 11 a.m. on Nov.11, a respectful crowd of young and old — most wearing poppies — filled Rimbey Community Centre, taking time out of their lives to stop, to remember and to give tribute to those who gave their lives for their country. Remembering these men and women is as important today as it ever was, Rev. Debra Laing told the Remembrance Day service. “A baby born the day that war (the First World War) ended would be 94 years old today,” said Rev Laing. “So the soldiers are gone, and the medics are gone. The dare-

devil flying aces are gone and the cavalry is gone. The drummers and the pipers, the nurses and the doctors. The farmers and city dwellers ….all of them history.” Laing said stories of what happened during wars; the battles and heroism, suffering and waste of human potential, need to be told. “We speak of towns and tiny places scattered over lands we have never visited; whose names we learned ….. The Sommes, Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, the Scarpe. We remember by listening to others and reading for ourselves and learning our history and looking at pictures.” Rev. Laing compared telling stories

of the wars as a way to keep alive history, to telling the age-old story of how God brought his people, who were slaves, to the Promised Land. She also talked about the importance of the poppy as a symbol of a promise to remember, to keep the faith, to honor lives that were lost and devastated in war. “So we say, we will remember them. And we wear the poppy. We need to continue to tell the stories to our children. Talk about it often…not just once a year. If we want to live in a land of hope and promise ourselves, we will remember where we have come from, and who has gone before.” Barbara Patey, Rimbey Royal Canadian

Legion president, also spoke of the importance of remembering. “We must remember. If we don’t, the sacrifice of those 100,000 Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for their homes and families and friends. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with us. Our future is their monument. Patey said Remembrance Day gives everyone the opportunity to acknowledge the courage and the sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve.

The Rimbey Review, November 13, 2012 3

County councillors divided on Rimoka board representation By Amelia Naismith Ponoka County Coun. George Verheire has been kicked off the Rimoka Housing Foundation Board. On Oct. 9, during council’s organizational meeting, Verheire was nominated for the position by Reeve Gordon Svenningsen. A special meeting was held Oct. 18 and Coun. Paul McLauchlin, chairman of the Rimoka board, advised council a vote of non-confidence had been lodged by that board against Verheire. Coun. Gawney Hinkley made a motion to rescind Verheire’s appointment and a recorded vote was held: Councillors Keith Beebe, Gawney Hinkley and McLauchlin supported Verheire’s removal, while Verheire and Svenningsen opposed it. This vote of non-confidence, the fact that Verheire was nominated and elected in the first place, and the move to rescind his appointment caused an argument at the Oct. 18 meeting; strong debate continued to the Nov. 6 meeting. “It would have saved a lot of problems if he’d just said no, I don’t accept that nomination,” said Coun. Hinkley. Not only does Hinkley wish Verheire hadn’t accepted the nomination, he believes Verheire didn’t have the right to accept it. However, he wouldn’t expand on this comment. “(It) created a lot of mass confusion.” Two years ago Verheire was chosen to be a representative on the Rimoka board. He was removed from the board then too. “No facts have ever been proven or put forward as to why I had a vote of non-confidence. I asked for conformation as to what it was I did wrong. All they kept saying is you know what you did, you know what you did. I don’t know what I did,” said Verheire, referring to his removal from the board two years ago. Verheire doesn’t feel Hinkley’s remark that he should have turned down the nomination is viable because it was the councillors who voted him to the Rimoka board. At the Oct. 9 organizational meeting an election between councillors Beebe, Verheire and McLauchlin was held for the two Rimoka positions. There was a tie between Beebe and Verheire and in another vote between just those two, Verheire came out on top. However, after he was elected, Verheire feels the tables turned on him, that councillors who’d voted him onto the Rimoka board no longer wanted him there. Verheire says the situation turned into a namecalling match between councillors. “It’s not right. I wish they could get along, but for now it just doesn’t seem like it’s going to work.” McLauchlin realizes there is history regarding Verheire and the Rimoka board, but he isn’t aware of the details. The details of the recent non-confidence vote also weren’t fully disclosed to him, he said. “Basically it’s saying the actions of a member wouldn’t be in adherence with the governance of the board. It would cause the board to not function for whatever capacity,” McLauchlin explained. “At the end of the day I think everybody is doing this for the right reasons. I think people are passionate about it and I think that passion is making things a little bit more emotional than it should be,” added McLauchlin. “I’ve yet to see anybody that has malicious intent on any side. At the end of the day I hope that’s where people are going. But it’s too bad it’s being the way it is right now.” At the same time McLauchlin believes county council had to support and respect Rimoka’s nonconfidence vote, and respond to it. That response came in the form of voting to rescind Verheire’s appointment. However, if the council had decided to stand by their Oct. 9 decision, McLauchlin says Rimoka would have to live with that decision. “As you can see it’s a complex issue. The answers aren’t all that apparent.” “At the end of the day my opinion of the whole thing was that I think Mr. Verheire would act in good faith of the board and we would have been able to function properly. But, at the same time I’m just one

He felt is was irresponsible for McLauchlin, a member of the Rimoka board, to nominate another councillor who’d voted to keep Verheire as a representative; a vote that, in Beebe’s opinion, could have jeopardized the Rimoka board and county council. “In my opinion, these were bad decisions made by two councillors, Coun. Svenningsen and Coun. McLauchlin, that could still damage the respect of council in the public eye. My concern is for the county council’s reputation. Therefore, I feel if these to councillors have any respect for the County they should resign from county council,” said Beebe. However, when asked, neither McLauchlin nor Svenningsen would entertain the idea of resigning. “I work hard and people know I do, so it’s not a big deal,” McLauchlin said. “I wouldn’t even comment on it. I mean, we’re not five-year-olds,” Svenningsen added. “It’s something that we’ll work through. We’ve always been team players at Ponoka County and we’ll get there again.”

Obama, climate change and the second term It’s hard to know how much effect New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s comments about climate change after post-Hurricane Sandy had on the US election. It’s easy to overestimate that sort of thing, but President Barack Obama’s victory in several states was so razor-thin that Bloomberg’s last-minute intervention may have been decisive. What’s crystal clear is that Obama himself didn’t want to talk about it during the campaign. Bloomberg, responding to the devastation he saw in New York City, laid it on the line. “Our climate is changing. And while the increase in extreme weather we have experienced in New York City and around the world may or may not have been the result of it, the risk that it may be...should be enough to compel all elected leaders to take immediate action.” He said this only five days before the election, in the immediate aftermath of a national calamity that may well have been climate-related. So did Obama pick up the ball and run with it? Certainly not. Apart from a one-liner about how climate change “threatens the future of our children” in a single speech, he remained stubbornly silent. Rightly or wrongly, Obama and his team have been convinced for the past four years that talking about climate change is political sui-

cide. Nor did he actually do all that much: a higher fuel-efficiency standard for vehicles was his only major initiative. And Mitt Romney, of course, said not a word about climate change: you cannot take this problem seriously and retain any credibility in today’s Republican Party. So was all the instant speculation about how Hurricane Sandy might finally awaken Americans to the dangers of climate change just wishful thinking? Not necessarily. Obama rarely start fights he cannot win, and it was clear from the day he took office in 2009 that he couldn’t get any climate-related legislation through Congress. To what extent has his re-election changed this equation? Second-term US presidents, who no longer have to worry about re-election, often act more boldly than in their first term. The US economy is clearly in recovery mode, which will give him more leeway to act on other issues. And the environmental disasters of the past year may finally be pushing American public opinion toward a recognition that the threat of climate change is real.

It has long been argued what is needed to penetrate the American public’s resistance to the bad news of climate change is a major climate-related disaster that hurts people in the United States. Even if Sandy may not have been a direct consequence of global warming, it fills that bill. It may get the donkey’s attention at last. There is no guarantee of that, and each year the risk grows that the average global temperature will eventually rise by more than two degrees C (3.6 degrees F) and topple into uncontrollable, runaway warming. Moreover, the Republicans still control the lower house of Congress. But hope springs eternal, and at last there is some. The past few weeks have seen an unexpected and promising conjunction of events: a weather event that may shake the American public’s denial of climate change, and the re-election of a president who gets it, and who is now politically free to act on his convictions. As Businessweek (a magazine owned by Michael Bloomberg) put it on last week’s cover: “It’s global warming, stupid.” Gwynne Dyer is a London-based independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

The Rimbey Review, November 13, 2012 5

BILL 2 poses concerns for rural landowners Recently, Alberta’s PC government introduced the Responsible Energy Development Act (Bill 2 that would create a new one-stop shop regulator to help streamline the process of receiving project approval. This is a laudable goal, and is something industry has been asking to be accomplished. However, as written, the bill would limit landowner rights and centralize powers. That’s why the Wildrose Official Opposition introduced 12 amendments to avoid the kind of sweeping powers landowners fought so passionately against with former Bills 19, 36 and 50. These amendments were put forward with the goal of encouraging development, protecting landowner rights and respecting the environment. We saw how the PC government amended Bills 19, 36, and now 50, but only after the uprising of landowners demanding property rights. With Bill 2, the PCs have the opportunity to get it right the first time. Under current legislation, appeals are made to the Environmental Appeals Board, but landowners won’t have that option under Bill 2. It removes the rights of landowners to appeal decisions under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Water Act, and the Public Lands Act. Wildrose amendments would restore an independent appeal process to give Alberta landowners confidence their appeal rights are not being taken away. Bill 2 also makes no reference to “the public interest.” Wildrose proposes to enshrine those essential words in the new law. Given the expanded role of the regulator, it is even more important to consider the public interest when reviewing energy applications. Furthermore, Bill 2 needs to explicitly mention respect for landowner rights in the regulator’s mandate. Another proposed Wildrose amendment would include an explicit requirement for the regulator to follow legislated timelines for the total regulatory process. This would give certainty to project owners their applications won’t get bogged down indefinitely and help make sure Bill 2 accomplishes what it sets out to do.

Jason Hale, MLA for Strathmore - Brooks Energy Critic, Wildrose Official Opposition Guest Columnist

The new regulator’s board of directors needs to have the appropriate expertise. That’s why we are pushing for the board to be composed of at least two energy sector experts, a landowner rights expert and an environmental expert. As written, Bill 2 allows the minister to appoint anyone, effectively making members of the board what no one wants to see: patronage appointees. As written, Bill 2 cancels Section 26 of the Energy Resource Conservation Act, which ensures those affected by extraction are involved from the beginning of the regulatory process and are fully informed. The Wildrose proposes reinstating the provisions of Section 26 that protect landowners. Bill 2 would also give the minister of Energy the right to access personal information about applicants from the regulator. It is not at all clear why the minister would need to be so hands on as to require this access during the application process, and it could give the impression of political interference in decisions. Wildrose proposes the minister be excluded from accessing personal information. Bill 2 presents opportunities for industry to receive faster approval of projects with the streamlining of the process. However, as written, it poses dangers for both landowners and industry. The government should amend the mechanics of this bill to ensure landowner rights are protected to avoid the same uproar that followed the Land Stewardship Act, the Land Assembly Project Area Act and the Electric Statutes Amendment Act (former bills 19, 36 and 50.) We can avoid another landowner fiasco. We just have to get it right the first time. As the Wildrose Official Opposition energy critic, I look forward to hearing feedback. Please contact my office at Strathmore.Brooks@assembly.ab.ca.

Anglin says farmers can save Albertans a billion dollars Dear Editor: Farmers between Edmonton and Calgary can save Alberta’s taxpayers a cool $1 billion, if only they would sell their land for $45 million dollars per quarter section. The government of Alberta has in its infinite wisdom decided to build two massive electricity transmission lines between Edmonton and Calgary, and in doing so approved the construction of two high voltage DC transmission lines over the alternative option of building two high voltage AC trans-

mission lines. A high voltage DC transmission line costs approximately $1 billion (that’s a “B” for billion) dollars more than a comparable high voltage AC transmission. The government is not proposing to transmit any more electricity using one option verses another. It chose DC technology because high voltage DC technology requires less land than high voltage AC technology. It’s all about land use. Continued on Page 11

Rimbey RCMP had another hectic week, investigating more than 54 files. Highlights of the week included a serious sexual assault, criminal harassment, poaching, impaired driving, drugs and other criminal matters. Be prepared for winter driving Weather conditions contributed to a plethora of crashes this week. Officers attended several rollovers and other serious collisions. Thankfully, there were no life-threatening injuries to any of the occupants involved. Please slow down and ensure you have adequate winter tires, sand bags and your windshield washer fluid topped up. Wire theft investigations continue Police continue to investigate the recent oilfield thefts where copper wire was stolen. Mounties are actively pursuing leads and leaving no rocks unturned in attempts to locate the copper wire thieves. Rounding up the usual offenders Your RCMP detachment is continuing to track chronic, habitual offenders (our regulars) who are out on probation or parole. This week, several more offenders were arrested and charged for additional breaches of their court orders. A well-known 30-yearold female, a resident of Rimbey (sometimes Drayton Valley), who is before the courts with countless criminal charges, again breached her court orders and was taken back to jail. Mounties, FWO tracking poachers Mounties and Alberta Fish and Wildlife Officers have been busy dealing with trespassing and poaching

complaints. In our area, there are many ethical hunters who conduct themselves responsibly in assisting with the management of wild game by harvesting wildlife while abiding by all the rules and regulations. These laws are in place to help preserve our wildlife and protect everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Unfortunately, there have been numerous incidents involving poachers illegally hunting at night. In one case, an elk was shot from Secondary Highway 766 near Leedale Road. The miscreant was on private land and committed the crime not far from the landowner’s house. In a second disturbing case, in the same area, two beautiful bull moose were shot dead and the poacher(s) used a saw to cut off the antlers and left both of the majestic animals in the marsh to rot. Deer have also been found to have been poached in the Leedale and the Rimbey Gas Plant areas. So far this hunting season, there have been numerous complaints of hunting on private land without permission, having a loaded firearm in the vehicle and shooting near a residence. If you witness a crime involving wildlife, please call the Report a Poacher Hotline at 1-800-642-3800. If you have any information on these or any other crimes, please call the Rimbey RCMP at (403) 8432224 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, #8477 on Telus Mobility or *8477 on Rogers AT&T.

Trucker upset with bylaw Dear Editor: I would like to know why the Town of Rimbey is adamant to make it impossible for truckers to live here? This time last year truckers had to attempt to fight bylaw 872-11 by attending town meetings and voice our concerns pertaining to parking of vehicles of a gross weight over 5,000 kilograms, which I might add, all of our concerns were completely ignored. So bylaw 872-11 was passed and only parking on the town’s truck route is available to us. All year I watched, detached and attached holiday trailers, cargo trailers, RVs, service trucks with licensed gross weight of 5,000 kilograms or more sitting on residential streets, some of which were parked for long periods of time. I could have reported them, but since I think that bylaw 872-11 is a joke, and actually only aimed at truckers, why report them? Continued on Page 10

Exhibition association donates funds to community groups By Amelia Naismith

Rimbey Exhibition Association has made a significant donation to the Rimbey Historical Society in the wake of a summer burglary. About $2,000 was stolen from Pas Ka Poo Park in August. That money was to be matched by a government grant. The Rimbey Exhibition Association has donated $1,000 to the Rimbey Historical Society to relieve a portion of the burden. The donation was presented to Harold Kenney, president of the Rimbey Historical Society, at the association’s annual general meeting Nov. 3. “Despite setbacks like this it’s great to see other people in the community see the need to preserve our history,” said Kenney. “I’d really like to give a big thank you.” Sandi Taylor, Rimbey Exhibition Association president, presented $500 to Jarrod Robertson, Rimbey Junior Senior High School athletic director, for the school’s banquet held near the end of the month, and for new volleyball nets. This year’s rodeo queen, Emily Henschel, received an honorarium from the association for her time and efforts. “This is awesome.

AMA driving course geared toward senior drivers By Treena Mielke Drivers in the 55-plus age group had a chance to hone their driving skills at an AMA driver education course. Senior instructor Cathy Mantika, who taught the course held at the Drop In Centre Nov. 5 and 6, offered sound advice to senior drivers who want to keep safe on the road. While drivers 55-plus have significant experience and are less likely to take risks behind the wheel, sometimes they need to tweak their driving habits slightly to ensure their safety and the safety of other drivers. Driving abilities generally begin to change by age 55, but each driver has differing skills regardless of age. Mantika noted many medications, including prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs, could interfere with a driver’s ability by making them drowsy or less attentive. Anyone, no matter what age, who gets behind the wheel, needs to understand the physical effects of any medications taken before driving. Anyone who plans to drive a vehicle and takes more than one type of medications needs to check with their doctor to determine whether the combination produces side effects that could interfere with driving.

After 40, vision begins to change and the amount of light needed to drive nearly doubles every 13 years. To see clearly, a 60-year-old requires 10 times as much light as a teenager. The eye’s ability to focus slows with age. A teenager takes about two seconds to focus on an object close to them and then to one farther away, yet a 40-year-old takes three or more seconds to focus his eyes from the speedometer to the road. Sensitivity to glare increases as a person ages as well. At age 55, it takes eight times longer to recover from glare than at age 16. Color, especially red, becomes less bright and harder to see as one ages. As well, peripheral vision narrows and depth perception lessens, making it more difficult to determine how fast other vehicles are traveling. Mantika also cautioned seniors about the perils of drinking and driving. “I’m not here to preach about alcohol, but if we expect the young drivers in our family to have a designated driver, why shouldn’t we as well if we have had a drink?” A 15-question self-rating quiz taken privately which asks about driving skills and habit and provides suggestions for improvement of risk driving practices can be accessed at ama.ab.ca/AgingDrivers or at any AMA centre by asking for the Drivers 55Plus: Check Your Own Performance booklet.

Ag centre fundraising concert to be held By Treena Mielke The first major fundraiser for the proposed new agricultural centre is to be held in Rimbey soon, and it promises to be an evening well worth attending with music and tales of the Canadian heartland performed by award winning musicians. Gary Fjellgaard, Saskia and Darrel will perform at the Rimbey Community Centre Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m. The Dutch, Norwegian, Metis combo will perform selections from Fjellgaard’s new CD (The Collection) and Saskia and Darrel’s latest release, Songbirds, along with other well known popular selections. Christmas selections and yodeling will also be added to the mix. The trio has been together for 11 years, and Saskia said they are all looking forward to coming to Rimbey. “All three of us are singers/songwriters. I am the base guitar player and I play flute. Darrel, my husband, is an award winning songwriter and plays

lead guitar. And Fjellgaard is a Juno Award winning songwriter who plays mandolin and guitar.” The trio, who perform a mix of western roots, folk, country and Celtic music, will tour throughout Alberta this winter. Their songs embrace stories about miners, cowboys, wind swept prairies and the romance and simplicity of Canadian heartland living. “We really enjoy playing the small communities where it gives us a chance to meet all these wonderful people. We really want every to come out and enjoy the community event and spend an evening together,” said Saskia. Rimbey Agricultural Board director Ben Ostrem has heard Gary Fjellgaard play on numerous occasions. “I know the words to most of the songs. His music is extremely enjoyable.” Tickets for the concert are available at T & S Farm and Feed, Stationary Stories and Sounds and from agricultural society members.

Ponoka County supports BBBS ByAmelia Naismith Ponoka County council will continue its support for Big Brothers Big Sisters Rimbey. When the program began one year ago, executive director Beth Reitz asked council to donate $10,000 each year, for two years. “The money you gave last year was a great help to what we’re doing,” said Reitz, who attended the Nov. 6 meeting to give a report of the last year and ask that the funding continue as planned. “It was a very profitable year. Rimbey got on board with the program more than I’d seen previously,” said Reitz. In its first year the program made 22 mentor matches, which, according to Reitz is unheard of in a town the size of Rimbey. “We’re anticipating that this next year will be even better.”

Spartans win playoff game and advance to provincials By Treena Mielke Rimbey Spartans high school football team will advance to provincial semifinals after crushing Hanna Hawks 48-6. The Spartans emerged victorious on home turf Nov. 6 and go on to face either Jasper Glaciers or Drayton Valley Warriors in Lacombe, Nov. 20. Coach Bill Bramfield was pleased with his team, which has remained undefeated in league play. “They did well, but we need to remember anything can happen and they always have to play their best.” He said it is important not to think of Hanna as an easy win. “They drove all they way down here and they were planning to win. They’ve got a good tradition in Hanna. It wasn’t an easy win, nothing is an easy win.” Bramfield said the Spartans continue to improve.

“Every game we have to accomplish certain things and get a little bit better. There is always something we need to look at and improve. Our real goal is competing against ourselves.” Going through the season without a loss is no reason for a football team to rest on its laurels, he noted. “Drayton hasn’t lost either and if we end up playing them, we will certainly be put to the test that day.” The Spartans, as a team, have showed tenacity, determination and skill on the field, he said, noting with pride that all 24 players got field time in the game. “Football is the ultimate team sport and they have all played well.” He said 15 players have not played football before this year. “It’s looking good for next year,” he said. The final game of provincials is to be held in Edmonton Nov. 23.

More help needed for ag centre By Treena Mielke Plans for the proposed Agrim Centre are moving along but more people need to come on board to turn the agricultural society’s dream into a reality. “We are down to about five or six people doing all the work,” said Shirley Ingram, treasurer with the Rimbey Agricultural Society. Ingram, who has been treasurer of the society for eight years, said everyone agrees the ag centre is needed but more volunteer help is crucial. “It won’t get done on its own,” she noted. Ingram encourages people who are willing to step up to the plate and commit their time and energy to the project to attend the society’s annual meeting Dec. 6 at the Rimbey Drop In Centre. Cocktails and supper will be held at 5:30 p.m. prior to the meeting. Footings and groundwork for the building are expected to be completed this winter but getting the building to the lockup stage probably won’t happen in the spring as originally anticipated. “It will be closer to fall,” Ingram said, adding the blueprints are now being drawn up and should be presented at the annual general meeting. The project will be sent out to tender once the blueprints are finalized. The multi-million dollar, multi-use centre is to be located in the infield of the rodeo grounds and is being constructed with a seating capacity of around 900. It is projected to bring in annual

revenues of approximately $203,000 offset by operating expenses of $168,000. Ponoka County has been a strong supporter of the project, donating $500,000 and completing dirt work at no cost. Funding is also to come from the province and the ag society.

Bluffton 4-H going strong By Kaiden Eadie The Bluffton West 4-H Club has started up again for the 46th year. We officially started our projects at our annual weigh-in at the Burrage vet clinic on October 4th. With 25 members in our club there was quite the variety of cattle with 23 steers, 17 heifers and 7 carcass steers. Prior to weigh-in, we had our first meeting where we elected our club positions: Our club leader is Marian Johnson along with our assistant leaders: Andrea Falt and Dan Skeels. This is the second year for our cleaver kids program and

its leaders are Racheal Hudson and Yvonne Vandenhoven. Our club president is Clinton Steeves, our vice president is Tina Vohngunten, our treasurer is Ben Trenson, our secretary is Erin Burrage, our parliamentarian is Leah Trenson, our club reporter is Kaiden Eadie, our historians are Heidi Trenson and Josie Burrage. Also Connor Falt is our junior county rep and Ben Trenson is our senior county rep. On October 28th, we had a marketing workshop at Skeels and it was loads of fun. Thank you to everyone that showed their support last year, and we are looking forward to another great year!

Trucker upset Continued from Page 6 I don’t think any one of them had received tickets, or warnings, but as soon as a semi is not parked on the truck route, there is a peace officer banging on our doors to move it. I would also like to quickly mention Rimbey’s fine for such violations. Why is it a general fine of $250 to $500 when a city such as Calgary has a fine for the same violation which starts at $75 and, if not paid in 30 days, is $100. So here we are again, a year later, about to get the only available parking for a lot of us taken way, for snow removal purposes. Since our town representatives are so knowledgeable, please enlighten me how a vehicle under one tonne, is not going to be in the way for snow removal as well? This is just a theory, my theory, but what I think, is that one or more of our town representatives, maybe the councilor who lives on 51st Street, really has a hate on for truckers and snow removal is just a Reader way to finish pushing us wants out of town.

As a big yellow school bus departed Oct. 19 from Bluffton School, a weary but excited group of Student Leadership Team members were bound for Nanton for the Alberta School Leadership Conference. The bus driver, a student’s grandpa, volunteered his time for the journey. The first stop was Tim Horton’s in Red Deer where the girls decided a flash mob is needed at 8 a.m. to cheer up the fellow weary-eyed travellers. It was then off to Nanton, where the next two days would be full of learning and fun, and a lot of cheers. Their fearless leader, Cheryl Rallison, and parent volunteer, Karen Boyes, slept with them on a classroom floor, but the girls’ excitement could not be contained. Breakout sessions in the theme of

Leadership is Sweet, inspired many ideas, and there were guest speakers Ian Tyson and Stu Saunders. Students from around the province gathered in Nanton to learn initiatives to take back to their school to bolster school spirit. By the time Saturday afternoon came, it was hard to leave all the new friends from around the province but a stop at the Candy Store in Nanton got the girls back on the bus. There was one final flash mob at the Sylvan Lake Tim Hortons, and we had one inspired, energized student leadership team. Some of the ideas from the conference are already at work at Bluffton School, including a Random Acts of Kindness program. A special thank you to all the work of the school staff and students at JT Foster in Nanton for a great conference with memories these students will have for a lifetime.

remember the players are just kids. And don’t accept “it’s not cool” as an excuse not to wear protective gear. That extra-padded helmet might not be “cool,” but neither is being in a coma. You wince.

Knowledge is key when it comes to head trauma, and authors Robert Cantu and Mark Hyman do a thorough job in

preparing parents to be eagle-eyed on the subject. There’s a lot of information packed in this book, along with mythbusters, blunt words, worksheets, cautionary tales and one modern proverb that you can repeat to kids and coaches alike: “No head trauma is good head trauma.” There’s always another ball season around the bend but before you sign that permission slip, read this book.

REMEMBRANCE

Remembrance Day joins generations By Treena Mielke

RJ (Bob) Lapointe puts on his gloves before marching in the legion colour party at Rimbey’s Remembrance Day service.

Dressed impeccably in her Legion colors, 96-year-old Edna Pratt, walking slowly with an aid of a walker, laid a wreath at the foot of a makeshift cross covered with poppies during the Remembrance Day Service held at Rimbey Community Centre. Pratt, laid a wreath on behalf of her husband, Bill, whom she met overseas while she served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. She also laid the wreath on behalf of her fiancé who died in the war before she met the man who later became her husband. Pratt’s uncle was also killed in action. Pratt joined the RCAF in 1942 and in 1945 became a staff officer in the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in the British Occupation Zone of northern Germany. Pratt, whose maiden name was Bryanton, returned to Rimbey because her family was here. She is grateful she made it home, and stresses the men and women who gave their lives for their country must never be forgotten. “It’s a disgrace if we do. Think of all the years that they lost because of what they gave. That’s why I’m

here.” Alexis Stewart, 18, from Rimbey participated in the Remembrance Day service as a member of Ponoka No. 65 Air Cadet Squadron. Remembrance Day services are important to her because they help her understand the horrors of war. “It makes it seem more real.” Attending the service is one way she feels she can honor those who gave their lives in the war. “I feel really good about it – showing that we care, honoring those who gave their lives for us.” Darel Pallin, whose son, Shaun, laid a wreath on behalf of Ponoka Air Cadets, said pleased to be able to bring his son to the service. He said his great-grandfather fought in the Second World War, returning home safely. “I have attended the services for some time. I’m glad to be able to bring my son here.” Of the more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers who enlisted during the First World War, some 60,000 lost their lives. In the Second World War, more than a million Canadians enlisted; another 45,000 didn’t return.

Legion members listen as tribute is paid to soldiers of wars around the world.

The Rimbey Review, November 13, 2012 15

Rimbey Elementary School students hold Remembrance Day service By Treena Mielke The sounds in the Rimbey Elementary School gymnasium were hushed as the normally rambunctious students stood respectfully as the Last Post was played. The brief, but poignant service held Nov. 9 at 10:45 a.m. was no doubt reflective of many similar services held throughout the country to honor and remember those who gave their lives for their country. Rimbey Legion president Barb Patey held the students’ attention as she told them about growing up in Calgary during the war. “I have never been in the war or seen a war, but my father was in the air force. We were safe and we felt safe, but when we heard a siren we had to turn out our lights and stay in the darkness.” She talked about having to use coupons to buy sugar. “Coffee was rationed,” she recalled. When she was a young girl, it cost less than a quarter to go to a movie. When she and her friends went out trick-or-treating for Halloween, they were given only apples — no candy. She was eight years old when the war ended and her father came home safely. She was a teenager during the Korean War. “Will we ever have a world without conflict?” she questioned. During the ceremony, Grade six students recited a poem entitled, Only Two Minutes and Grade four students recited In Flanders Fields. The assembly closed with the singing of God Save the Queen and the retiring of colors by Legion members.

Rimbey Royal Canadian Legion president Barbara Patey spoke to the Rimbey Elementary School students.

Jenna Simpson, Darienn Levie, Foxx Olson and Ethan Tona were among the Grade four students at Rimbey Elementary who recited the poem In Flanders Fields during the school’s Remembrance Day service.

Over the years, The War Amps has been recognized for its internationally award-winning Military Heritage Series. To mark Remembrance Day, and as part of its goal to educate young Canadians about Canada’s military heritage, it is featuring a series of new short productions on its YouTube channel. The D-Day Dodgers vignette tells the story of the Allied troops in Italy who, in questionable jest, were given this nickname, implying they were avoiding the “real war” in France. The vignette is based on The War Amps documentary A War of Their Own, about the Canadians in the Italian Campaign. Grandpa’s War in Bomber Command was pro-

duced to mark The War Amps release of a memoir by the late Jack Singer of Ottawa and to commemorate this year’s unveiling of the Bomber Command Memorial in London, UK. In it, three of his grandchildren share their thoughts about their grandfather, his book and the Memorial. In the production 13th Sortie, the late War Amps member Neil Conner tells the harrowing story of bailing out of his bomber in the Second World War, an action that cost him part of his right leg. All three productions, as well as several other vignettes and special features, can be viewed on The War Amps YouTube channel at youtube.com/ warampsofcanada.

November is Family Violence Prevention Month By Treena Mielke This article comes from an anonymous interview with a 17-year-old girl growing up in a home where domestic violence was a regular occurrence. Names have been changed. November is Family Violence Prevention Month. Many women and children suffer in silence but between April and October approximately 228 others are helped through the resources of the Central Alberta Womenís Emergency Shelter, which can be reached at 403-346-5643. Rachelle is almost 17 years old. She lives with her mother and her younger sister, and by all outwards appearances, is a normal, happy, healthy teen. But years of abuse at the hands of her step-dad, and living in a home where domestic violence happened all too often, has left her anxious, suffering from chronic migraines, insomnia and with severe trust issues. “I still to this day get very bad anxiety and severe lung pain when I get stressed out. All my stress and worrying resulted in insomnia. This also came from the abuse side of things.” Rachelle’s said her first memory of her stepfather abusing her mother was when she was four years old. “I remember waking up in the middle of the night to a lot of yelling and screaming from both parents. When I opened my door everything became so loud, between the sobs and scream of my mother to the deep, growling yell of my step-dad. I walked down the hallway and stood at the top of the staircase and

watched my mom get thrown into coat hooks in the entry way.” Rachelle’s young face suddenly takes on a look older than her years as she recalls the years of abuse. “My parents fought every day. They would argue over the smallest little things and then those fights would turn into huge screaming fests.” The instances where abuse raised its ugly head happened all too often. “One day I was asked to clean the room that my sister and myself shared. I had been cleaning all morning and was not allowed out of the room until it was finished.” Rachelle’s mom agreed to give her daughter a break from cleaning and allowed her to come out of her room to have some lunch. Rachelle’s stepfather was furious at his wife for usurping his authority. “At one point I remember standing in front of my mom, arms spread out screaming at him, telling him to stop yelling at her and to leave her alone. I was only around six years old at the time.” Her step-dad physically abused not only her mother. “One night I would not go to sleep, so he decided to spank me. This wasn’t just a regular spank, he took a plastic spoon and he spanked me so hard that it broke across my butt. I was about seven that time. He would always threaten to spank me so hard so that I could not walk or sit down for a week.” To say Rachelle’s step-dad was a control freak was an understatement.

When you make influenza immunization an annual event, you protect yourself, your family, and our community.

wouldn’t have been able to handle the anxiety that came with finding out about it. And I was embarrassed and thought that it was completely normal. As I got older I realized the things he was making me do were wrong.” Rachelle finally told her story of being sexually abused in November of 2010, encouraging other girls who are in the same situation to speak up, because silence is not the answer. She knows it’s difficult. “I usually keep my problems to myself. I don’t want to drag others down with my issues and also don’t want to be judged by my problems.” Rachelle, who admits she is still a people pleaser, realizes living in a home where domestic violence ran rampant, has left her with emotional scars. She still has test anxiety and suffers from chronic migraines. But, her world is more stable. “Now it’s not as bad; my mom and I get along better. And I go for counselling and that helps.” Rachelle still views relationships with boys with trepidation. “I still have trust issues,” she said.

The girls were forced to eat all food put in front of them, even if it took hours and they had to choke it down. “It was almost like we were hating him if we didn’t eat his food,” said Rachelle. “He always took things to the extreme and over-reacted.” Clothes and shoes could not be purchased without his approval. “If my mom bought a pair of shoes for me or my sister and he did not like them he would freak out and yell and scream at us to take them back. “I was never allowed to wear makeup. “Even when we moved out, I could not wear any makeup in my school pictures because he would see them. If he saw that I had makeup on he would call or come to our house and get angry and say how I am disrespecting him.” As much as the physical and mental abuse was ongoing and difficult to bear, sadly, that was not the worst of the situation. “Through all of this he was also sexually abusing me from the time I was three to 13.

Youths aged 17 to 21 who are receiving services under the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act and are interested in talking about their experiences of leaving government care, are invited to any of 15 consultations being held in urban, rural and Aboriginal communities across the province. Youths will be asked about the challenges they face and also about what has worked well for them in their transition to independence. “This is a great opportunity for Alberta’s youth to have their voices heard and to help improve the system, said Del Graff, provincial child and youth advocate. “When these young people eventually leave government care it is important for them to be prepared for their life as an adult.” Research shows that young people who leave care before or on their 18th birthday are more likely to leave school, experience homelessness, be at a higher risk for substance misuse, and be unemployed compared to youth who have the continued support from others.

Information gathered from the focus groups will form the basis of a special report that will be released by the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate. The report, which will be shared with the Government of Alberta, will provide recommendations on how to best support youths leaving or aging out of care. The Child and Youth Advocate has the authority under the Child and Youth Advocate Act to complete Special Reports on issues impacting children and youth who are receiving designated government services. Youth, stakeholders and front-line staff can also provide feedback by filling out an online survey. Information on dates, times, and locations of the focus groups and the online survey can be found here: alberta.ca/advocate. The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate is an independent office of the legislature, representing the rights, interests and viewpoints of young people receiving designated government services.

Lorna Marion Fletcher nee (Cable) 1927-2012 Lorna Fletcher passed away suddenly on October 22, 2012 from natural causes. She joins in peace her parents, William and Estella Cable nee (Goodhand); her brothers Clayton, Harold, Carmen and her sister Verna. Lorna is survived by her brother Floyd (Pat); her son Lonnie (Gloria); granddaughters Jenny (Rob) and Sarah, great-grandsons Alexander and Zachary. Lorna will be remembered as a kind, caring, independent woman who relished in the small things. She consistently put the needs of others before her own.

She will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered by family, friends and neighbours. At Lorna’s request no funeral service was held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or charity of your choice.
