Budget ready for public input By Treena Mielke Rimbey’s good news/bad news budget will be up for discussion at a public meeting, April 3 at the community centre. The budget, which contains a nugget or two of bad news, will see municipal and commercial taxes going up. However the increase in municipal taxes will be 1.5 per cent, and the average tax bill will show only about a $31 increase. CAO Tony Goode said this year’s tax increase is lower than last year, when residents faced a 2.5-per-cent jump, paying almost $52 more on their tax bill. Commercial taxes in Rimbey this year have increased by 2.55 per cent and an average commercial tax bill will show an increase of about $258.34. Goode said the increase is due to assessed values of commercial property, which have gone up by almost 30 per cent since 2008. Assistant CAO Melissa Beebe said according to 2012 figures, Rimbey is sitting on the lower end of the tax scale in comparison to the communities of Hanna, Carstairs, Gibbons and Sundre, with only the community of Gibbons coming in at a lower rate. Both Carstairs and Rimbey are looking at 1.5-per-cent increase this year, and Sundre has a projected 4.12-per-cent increase planned. Rimbey’s 2013 draft $6.170

million budget shows expenditures of $5 million leaving a healthy surplus of $797,000. Last year the town budgeted expenditures of $5.1 million and had a surplus of approximately $94,717. Goode said the town is looking at a school requisition of $810,699, a 4.95-per-cent jump from last year. On the other hand, the Rimoka Housing Foundation requisition barely changed, increasing only by 0.75 per cent to $32,502. The town plans to be busy this year, completing infrastructure projects including the east portion of 58th Avenue from 48 to 45A Street where the sewer line will be relined and the road repaired. From 53rd Avenue to 52nd Street the water, sewer, road and sidewalk, curb and gutter will be repaired from 53rd Avenue to 52nd Street. These projects are funded through MSI funding and a basic municipal transportation grant. The town’s backhoe will be replaced through the water and sewer reserve fund. Council has allocated $200,000 for recreation projects including trails, the air handling unit upgrader and the community centre washroom renovations. More than $100,000 has been allocated for sidewalk repair. The budget meeting will be begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Recyling processing plant could be established Encana agreement signed By Treena Mielke A recycling processing depot with the potential to employ up to 20 people, may soon be set up in Rimbey. At its meeting March 25, council agreed to instruct administration to begin negotiations with SLC Canada regarding the purchase or lease of two parcels of unserviced land (approximately 20 acres) north of the recycling centre. Esam Wshah, the company’s president and CEO told council the company wants to set up the depot in Rimbey. “We have a market for tire chips and plastics as well as other recyclables in the area between Edmonton and Calgary.” He said his company treats tires, plastics, food, organics, chemicals, wood and other liquid and solid wastes. Projects the company is currently involved in include municipal and hospital wastes, oil sludge processing, water treatment for oil and gas sectors, heavy oil upgrading and oil sands/oil shale development that use the proprietary technologies. “We are currently in the process of negotiating more projects in oil sludge recovery, contaminated soil remediation and solid and liquid wastes. He noted solid wastes from the agricultural, medical and municipal sectors and liquid wastes from sewage, industry and refinery oil sludge are important sources of bio-energy and valuable products.

World teen pageant contestant coming By Treena Mielke The lovely Miss Teen Ponoka County World 2013 will be in Rimbey April 6 to promote a worthy cause, sign autographs and chat with residents. Ann-Marie Rogers-Cooper will do a fundraiser for Save the Children from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at My Special Teas. During that time she will help owner Valerie Ray serve and be available for photos and sign autographs. As a finalist in the Miss Teen Canada World pageant, all finalists are required to fundraise for the pageant’s charity of choice. Raising enough funds for Save the Children could move Rogers-Cooper into one of the top 20 spots in the pageant and make her one step closer to the title of Miss Teen Canada World. Save the Children is an independent organization creating change in lives of children around the world. When disaster strikes Save the Children is there with food, medical care and education. They remain to help communities with long-term recovery programs. Rogers-Cooper is honored to receive the title of Miss Teen Ponoka County World and is looking forward to going to the Nationals. “Going to nationals is a great opportunity. I want to show the rest of Canada what Ponoka has to offer and want the country to know how supportive my community is.”

Esam Wshah, president and CEO from SLC Petroleum Inc. attended the March 25 council meeting with his daughter. Wshah wants to open a recycle processing plant in Rimbey and council has agreed to begin negotiations for the deal to proceed. Treena Mielke Photo He added using landfills to handle these wastes can create unpleasant odors, pollute the air, be poisonous to the aquifers, pollute the soil, reduce land prices in the surrounding areas. Wshah explained SLC uses a process called thermal reaction drum (TRD) technology in which heat is applied to solid and liquid wastes in the absence of oxygen. Water suitable for irrigation purposes and clean black granules result from the process. “Our process doesn’t need up-front separation or segregation. We take the wastes as is from the source. The town can run any separation or segregation process for metal, glass and any other material and sell it directly without our involvement,” he said. The company charges tipping fees for the treatment process.

SLC is based in Calgary and is developing joint ventures throughout Canada, the United States, Russia and the Middle East. Assistant CEO Melisa Beebe said administration will begin negotiations with SLC as early as this week.

By Treena Mielke With very little fanfare or discussion, council gave the go-ahead to an agreement with Encana to sell Rimbey’s wastewater. Representatives from Encana were in the gallery at the March 25 council meeting, but councilors had no questions for them. Under the terms of the agreement, Encana would purchase 180,000 cubic metres of wastewater at $2.25 per cubic metre to be extracted from the town’s lagoon in the northeast edge of town. Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson said earlier he sees the proposal as a sweet deal for the town. “The opportunity to sell our wastewater allows us to chip away at our seven million dollar infrastructure deficit.” Spokesman Doug McIntyre said Encana doesn’t have a firm start up date but is pleased to know they will have the ability to access the wastewater. “We are very happy to be able to source this affluent water. We currently have three rigs operating in the Duvernay (play) and plan to have four running by year-end. One of these is located fairly close to Rimbey,” he said. Encana will comply with federal, provincial and municipal laws when accessing the wastewater, he said. “We will work closely with the Town of Rimbey in terms of managing the transport of the effluent as safely as possible and to minimize any impacts to local traffic.” Using wastewater for their operations is one of the ways Encana has come up with to use water efficiently. The company has worked with Apache to design and build the Debolt Water Treatment Plan and to develop the Debolt formation as a water source reservoir. Operational since June 2010, the plant has significantly reduced surface water use and is expected to fulfill a minimum of 80 per cent of the water needed by Encana and Apache for hydraulic fracturing operations in the Two Island Lake area of the Horn River Basin in northeastern British Columbia. Encana has converted two pre-producing gas wells in the Farmington area of northeastern British Columbia to saline source water wells meaning the wells are producing water instead of natural gas.

When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not here to see… If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today… While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you… And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me, too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try and understand… That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand. He said my place was ready, in Heaven far above… And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart… For every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart.

On Twitter, BS campout I’m going to admit something to you that MLA Joe Anglin has been telling Rimbey residents. I’m a Twit. It’s true. I have been for quite some time. Now, like Joe, I won’t let having nothing to say slow me George Brown down. Off the Record On the seventh anniversary of Twitter, @georgeorgeorgeB decided to take the plunge. I’m following a few people I think should have something topical to say or whose opinions interest to me. I’m following @DalaiLama; just so I can say I’m following the Dalai Lama. Canadian pop goddess Avril Lavigne is from my hometown of Napanee, Ont. We’ve never met; her family moved into my old neighbourhood a few years after I moved to Alberta. Between @AvrilLavigne and @georgeorgeorgeB we have 9,000,014 followers. Not bad. I’m following @WilliamShatner and @Cmdr_ Hadfield because who wouldn’t want to follow a Canadian starship captain and the Canadian commander of the International Space Station? Bill’s been in New Zealand and he and Leonard Nimoy recently celebrated birthdays. The Commander posts amazing photos daily from his ISS-eye view. I’ll be tweeting out news and views about people and events in Ponoka County and some personal stuff as well. Other staff will soon join the Twitterverse. Follow us. Our Facebook page is being updated regularly and is a companion to our rimbeyreview.com website and the printed product. Check it out too. Beans and BS Tour Premier Alison Redford announced she and some of her cabinet colleagues will be caravanning their way across Alberta this summer. I expect it will be a less formal visit than those trumped up cabinet tours the government cobbles together shortly before an election. The classic campfire scene from Blazing Saddles comes to mind: “How ’bout some more beans, Mrs. Redford?” “I was thinking about some of the work we get to do in the summer, go to the rodeo in Ponoka and stuff like that,” Redford told delegates to the AAMD&C spring convention. “Every time I go to the Ponoka rodeo, I think to myself: ‘I really want to come and spend a couple of days, because it’s a great-size midway, I could take (daughter) Sarah, Doug could take his boys, and we could let them go off and play like we used to when we were kids.’ Hopefully this holiday will prove more beneficial to Albertans and less costly than the sojourn to the London Olympics.

OPINION

Boys are noise with dirt They are sugar and spice and everything nice. They are instant sunshine, barefooted angels wearing tattered blue jeans and sparkly T-shirts. They are small arms that hug ferociously and eyes so blue you can swim in them. Treena Mielke They are fun. They On The Other Side are warm and cuddly. They are lovely and they are better than a new Easter outfit or a chocolate bunny. And the best thing about them is they call me grandma. But, as much as I love all the feminine energy packaged up in their lithe little bodies, it’s the boys in my family who remind of the KISS rule. Keep it simple, silly! The oldest grandson, a 10-year-old version of the kind of guy you would want to take home to your mother, taught me, in his own quiet, unassuming way, how important it is to forget all the trivia that goes on around you and just focus on the here and now. And then he taught me, not by words, but by actions, the importance of self-talk. He is so quiet and gentle. He is the kind of kid grandmas such as I can brag about as a child who would not start a fight, much less get in one, a young man who abhors violence and no doubt, will grow up seeking peace and unity and love for all mankind in all the world. And so when he broke that board with his bare hand while wearing some sort of white outfit tied with a striped yellow belt, I was, to say the least, taken aback. I watched him do it, my mouth forming a surprised ‘O’ as he confidently walked up to the guy holding the board and razor chopped it in two.

Later, when we were driving in the car to a celebration dinner, he told me he knew he would do it. “How,” I asked? “I told myself I could,” he said, matter-of-factly. “And I did.” Boy power continues to invade my world, arriving at my house the other day in the form of two preschoolers who came, destroyed, ate and then left. They left happy with full tummies, leaving fingerprints all over my window. They are still there, the fingerprints. And when I look at them, once again I am reminded of two little boys who said without saying it: “Grandma, being neat and tidy isn’t important, we are.” And somehow just by gracing my house with their little boy selves for a few short hours, they turned it into a home. And I like that way better. My son also clued me in to what is really important when he called the other night. “Mom, they traded Ignila,” he said incredulously. I smile into the phone and all the worries of the day melt into nothingness. What? You’re kidding! The fact Jerome Iginla is a 35-year-old veteran player who has played for the Calgary Flames for 16 years momentarily eluded both of us. Iginla was and still is our hero. We elevated him to that status because we, like everyone, needed a hero and Ignila who seemed to be made of hero like stuff, fit the bill. And so my son and I chatted about important stuff like the trading of heroes and when I hung up I had flashbacks of a Flames hockey game and the really good feeling I had being there with my son, munching on popcorn and yelling, “Go Flames, Go.” Boys! Noise with dirt! That’s the sign posted on my grandson’s bedroom wall. It’s probably true. I hope so. It’s more than enough for this grandma to make her smile.

The Rimbey Review, April 2, 2013 5

Library relocation: the rest of the story Dear Editor: I served nine years on council and was proud to have been part of the team that built the beautiful new town office and library building. A few short years after moving the library to this new location, Jean Keetch started her campaign for more funds and more space. She was told the public purse was limited and she should do some fund raising and/ or charge for her programs. Neither happened. She just keeps coming back to the town and Ponoka County and requesting more tax funding. The crux of the problem is this: there is only one taxpayer, (you and me) yet three levels of government to fund, federal, provincial and municipal. In case you hadn’t noticed, there are huge cries for more public funds for all those who would feed off the public trough such as health care, schools, ambulance, policing, libraries and a multitude of special interest groups. They all have one thing in common: their piece of the pie is the most important to them. None of those who signed the petition about the library are against having a functional library. What they were against was Jean Keetch’s empire-building vision of a library/ social venue, as well as they were against the towns’ proposed financial disaster in caving in to Keetch’s demands. I was surprised by a few of the responses in support of this vision, Natalie Evans wrote about her children attending story time, movie night, pizza and board games night, holiday-themed parties, science experiments, magicians and storytellers. What she didn’t say was that these functions were free and or almost free, and what a great baby sitting service it is. Look at our magnificent community centre and programs that they offer — they can’t get people to attend because they cost money. They even let go of their program director, and now I see another huge loss to our community is Rick Kreklewich, the Recreation di-

rector, and his wife, Sarah, and their two children. Rick is moving on to Blackfalds, and because it is politically correct, he won’t say anything bad about his current employer or council but the reality is there were and are some serious issues. Rimbey’s population continues to shrink, now down 104 and counting since this council took control. Like MLA Joe Anglin said, where is Keetch’s business plan, what other options did she look at? She complained she would have to add staff to move some of her programs to other facilities, like the community centre, and or to the Blindman Youth Action Centre. Both places have kitchens and substantial space and are free and or almost free. What about moving to the Co-op mall where everyone in the community visits weekly? The rent was mentioned at $60,000 she said it was too expensive, but what she didn’t say was that the rent of $60,000 included utilities, so her net rent would have been $30,000 a year, completely within her budget. If it wasn’t within her budget, I’m sure the town and the county could help out with a few more dollars to move her library to the Co-op mall. I am a senior on a fixed income and can’t afford these frivolous expenditures. Don’t put up with this drain on our precious tax dollars. If this comes to a referendum please vote against it. If it goes to public meetings please show up so those with focused special interest don’t dominate the meetings like they attempt to do with articles in the paper, and emails to put pressure on those in politics. You may even choose to call or email the county and or the town in opposition to this ridiculous funding request. If you remain silent, those in favor of this funding request are being encouraged to call Ponoka County and the Town of Rimbey to promote their cause, they will win and your tax dollars will be wasted.

MLA Fox speaks to county council By Amelia Naismith MLA Rod Fox recently provided Ponoka County council with highlights from the legislative budget, and he didn’t have many positive facts to share. “We’re trying to get the word out there that it’s not the counties and the councils that are increasing taxes. It’s actually in the provincial budget,” said Fox. Agriculture • The biggest change in agricultural and rural development is the loss of the farm fuel distribution allowance, which cuts approximately $32 million out of the budget. • The Alberta Livestock Agency will see a $8 million cut. • Thirty full time agricultural employees within the department will be cut. • The Agricultural ministers’ Office, the Farmers’ Advocate and the Deputy Minister Office all experienced increases in the budget. • The Department of Agriculture is facing a $307 million cut. Education “Within this there’s a bit of a tie to municipal affairs. It doesn’t affect the rural areas as much as it does the small urban communities,” said Fox. The new ties will cause tax increases for some communities throughout the province will see tax increases. • Due to an 39.5 per cent increase in the provincial education requisition Blackfalds residents are looking at a $400 to $500 increase in property taxes, the fifth highest in the province. Other areas, such as Chestermere, Buffalo Region and Waterton areas saw an 80-per-cent increase. Ponoka residents will see an approximate $30 increase stemming from the education requisition. • The government plans $477 million on new schools, with a long-term plan to sustain the spending for a total of $1.4 billion over the next three years on new school, modernizations and maintenance. • Educations operational funds are frozen, which are estimated at $2.51 billion. • Fox doesn’t believe the province will meet its target of 50 new school and 70 improvements before the next election. Energy • In carbon capture and storage the government spent $1.55 billion as of 2012. Within the next few years that number will have increased by $1.5 million.

Operational • Due to the drop of bitumen oil and natural gas royalties there’s an estimated $668 million shortfall. Environment and sustainable resources • The overall operational spending of the ministry is up approximately $6 million, which is still $305 billion less than the expected expenditures of the 2012/2013 fiscal Rod year. • Budget funds for climate change were reduced by 16.8 million. • The Land Use Secretariat — the institute responsible for regional planning — received another $1 million for their budget. • Funds for environmental sciences were reduced by $3 million. Health and seniors • Advanced home care received a cut of $4.86 million. • Seniors drug benefits received a cut of $79.98 million. • Health services providing correctional facilities received an increase of $8.7 million. • $5 million has been set aside to provide insulin pumps for eligible diabetics. • Alberta’s Seniors and Benefits grants program, including alimony and disability, is changing and Fox says approximate 6,000 seniors are being kicked from the program. The program is facing $16.5 million less than last year. Last year family care clinics earmarked $75 million but only spent $1 million. This year $50 million is earmarked but Fox i• sn’t sure how many clinics will be built in the next year. Addictions and Mental Health

• The department is facing a $5 million cut. Municipal Affairs • The Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) will stay the same at $46 million. • The minister’s office received an increase of $221,000. • Instituting the mandatory New Home Warranty program is estimated to cost $1.7 million Fox within the next year. Disaster Recovery • Fox feels funding for disaster recovery is low; at $244 million it’s the same as in 2011/2012. One of the biggest ways the budget will affect Ponoka County is through the local bridge program. Coun. Paul McLauchlin says there’s always been a infrastructure in the province and now MSI money is turning into bridge funding. “So we’re going to have a capital asset problem over the next five years trying to and replace these local bridges.” He feels, two years down the road municipal budgets will have to focus on capital asset replacement rather than contributions to the community. County CAO Charlie Cutforth said if the province allowed municipalities an untouched tax base these problems wouldn’t be at the forefront. “To me the very simple solution has always been, if the province would simply leave the local tax base to the local municipality to provide all their own services then we don’t have to come hat in hand to the province for anything.” If municipalities retained the tax revenue that is funnelled to Edmonton they wouldn’t need the funding they now require, said Cutforth.

Simard MD test not required Dear Editor: Seventy-five-year-old seniors should be made aware that Alberta Transportation does not require them to complete a Simard MD or Drive Able assessment for the renewal of their operator’s license. In 2011, random testing of high profile citizens, all actively employed, was carried out in one Alberta community.

All except two failed the Simard MD — including an Alberta cabinet minister. The Redford government should not allow this private, for-profit agency to perpetrate this massive multi-million dollar scam against our seniors. Physicians should not direct seniors to this corrupt protocol. Stuart Pearke, Evansburg

Rimbey mayor and council doing good job Dear Editor: Thank you town council. Thank you for entering the difficult and often thankless arena of politics. Thank you for being willing to serve. Thank you for your hard and dedicated work. Thank you for having the courage to make challenging and sometimes unpopular decisions that support the Rimbey community. Thank you for Coffee with Council and your willingness to speak one-onone with citizens of our town. Thank you for being willing to address local

Thank you Sheldon Ibbotson for being mayor and for expressing your desire to run for a second term. Thank you all for staying on track and not being derailed by occasional hoopla. And above all, thank you for playing fair. Dijie Ratzlaff

The Rimbey Review, April 2, 2013 7

Good old memories make a comeback By Amelia Naismith Many old farm boys and girls, as well as those whose passions now lay in the rural municipalities they now serve, were treated to a familiar piece of the past at this spring Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties Conference. Donna Tona, who grew up in Rimbey on a cow-calf farming operation, gave a lively presentation of what growing up on the farm

Award-winning journalist to come to Rimbey Submitted Aw a r d - w i n n i n g investigative journalist and author Andrew Nikiforuk will speak at a public meeting April 12 at 7 p.m. in the Provincial Building. Calgary-based Nikiforuk has been writing about the oil and gas industry for 20 years and has earned a reputation as an honest and provocative voice in Canadian journalism. Many people are familiar with his writings in The Tyee on fracking, pipeline safety and other oilfield activities that affect the environment and our society. Although he has written for a variety of publications over the years he is perhaps best known for the book The Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the future of the Continent that won several awards and was a national best seller. At the Rimbey meeting he will speak on his most recent book,The Energy of Slaves: Oil and the New Servitude in which he makes the argument that the way we use and abuse cheap oil is equivalent to the practice of slaveholding. And like slave holders, we have morally and ethically compromised ourselves in our pursuit of an opulent lifestyle. What is needed, he says, is a new global abolitionist movement.

was universally like in Alberta. She spoke of and good-naturedly poked fun at the stereotypical personalities that almost every rural communities has, which can be picked out of the crowd in an instant. First there are the ratepayers who complain about the roads, no matter what. They aren’t graded properly, there’s potholes, divots at the stop signs or the gravel isn’t right. Next came the “pesky acreage owner” who wants all farming to stop at 5 p.m. sharp because the dust is impeding on their relaxing rural lifestyle. For those not fond of hog operations, Tona suggested perfuming the lagoon to see of that helps. “What happens in rural comminutes: urbans don’t understand rural communities,” said Tona. The farm raised kid — not the goat variety — despite a sometimes questionable childhood grew up hardy innovate and with good business sense. However, questionable depends on what side of the pasture you’re standing on. To a farm toddler, when your first solid food comes from the dog’s bowl, well that’s nothing to get hysterical over. And joining in with the cats, being able to catch milk streaming from the cow with your mouth is considered a success. Without urbanized toys, farm kids had to find their own entertainment. This included freshly killed chicken races. Despite strong family roots, the farm father and farm daughter didn’t always see eye to eye, especially when it came to dating. When shining a shotgun took the place of a handshake and “Where are you taking my daughter, son?” really means “You think you have the right to see my daughter, son?” every father knew his daughter would be home by midnight.

As Tona told her stories and reminded the conference delegates of the good ‘ole days laughter and a few nostalgic sighs could be heard throughout the hall.

Rimbey RCMP report Last week the Rimbey RCMP responded to more than 40 calls for service. The highlights and lowlights include uttering threats, theft of licence plates, traffic incidents, and collisions. Bail-breaker back behind bars A 44-year-old Rimbey resident who has racked up 24 criminal and drug related charges in the past three months, has committed more crimes and is now resting comfortably at the Red Deer Remand Centre. This recently threatened to kill a witness in one of his previous criminal proceedings and he has also been charged with criminally harassing a witness. He will also forfeit $2,400 in bail money that has been posted for his release on past charges. Trifecta scores fines Rimbey RCMP have pulled over several vehicles with a trifecta of noncompliance, that being no insurance, no registration and no drivers licence. On top of $3,500 worth of tickets for each driver, the vehicles were towed. Three stooges can’t get it right In February a 22-year-old resident of Edson, who had temporarily moved to Ponoka, was pulled over by Ponoka RCMP as he was trying to move back to Edson. He was found to be a suspended driver and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days with all his belongings in the box of the truck. After the 30-day impound was up, he had another person drive the vehicle out of the impound, unfortunately for the

accused, the second male did not have a licence and they were again pulled over. The truck and belongings went back to the impound. The man then got another driver to get the truck and belongings out the impound, and this time they made it to Rimbey before being stopped and again the driver did not have a licence. The vehicle and belongings were impounded for a third. The three drivers have all been ticketed. The Edson resident likely won’t be returning to these parts anytime soon. Scofflaw loses vehicle A 49-year-old Rimbey man ran behind on his maintenance enforcement payments, and as a result his licence became suspended. He was pulled over, given a summons for court and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Vandalism investigated On March 26, someone threw a mug breaking a window at the West Country Outreach School. The RCMP and the forensic identification section are working on solving this act of vandalism. If you have any information on these or any other crimes, please call the Rimbey RCMP at (403) 843-2224 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, #8477 on Telus Mobility or *8477 on Rogers AT&T Crime Stoppers is a community program that does work.

Wildrose Caucus Foundation formed Submitted The Wildrose Official Opposition has announced the creation of the Wildrose Caucus Foundation — a registered fund that will make annual charitable donations using the extra pay MLAs received as a result of last year’s eight-per-cent MLA pay hike. Shortly after the November 2012 PC-approved MLA pay hike — which saw annual MLA salaries increase from $145,000 a year to $156,000 — the 17-member Wildrose caucus unanimously agreed to set up a charitable fund and donate their increase in pay. The foundation is co-chaired by Wildrose MLAs Kerry Towle and Bruce McAllister and directed by a committee of six MLAs. The first donation from the Wildrose Caucus Foundation will be given to the Little Warriors Foundation, an organization that directly supports children who have been victims of sexual abuse. The $25,000 donation will go toward to the creation of the Be Brave Ranch, a first-of-its-kind longterm treatment centre for kids who have been sexually abused in Canada. Little Warriors, an Edmonton-based

organization, has raised $1.6 million from donors and supporters towards the approximate $3.5 million cost of establishing the camp. “Our caucus was united in our opposition to the MLA pay hike the PCs brought in last year and we are united in deciding to do something about it,” Wildrose leader Danielle Smith said. “I am proud of every single Wildrose MLA for stepping up and doing the right thing and I look forward to being able to help out hard-working charities that do invaluable work in our communities.” Smith implored MLAs from all sides of the Legislature who didn’t agree with the PC pay hike to refuse the pay hike, donate it to charity, or contribute it to the Wildrose Caucus Foundation. “We believe this money was never rightfully ours. We are simply giving it back to the front lines. We hope others decide to join us,” Smith said. The Wildrose Caucus Foundation will make annual donations to charitable organizations that deliver services in priority areas such as health care, education and justice.

Proposed garden causes controversy By Treena Mielke

community garden south of Wilson’s Funeral Home is an eyesore. “It’s a quagmire of quack grass and weeds.” Coun. Gayle Rondeel said community gardens need the backing of the neighborhood in which they are planted to be successful. “Never did I imagine a community garden would be offensive to anyone. I’m very zealous about the community garden, however, in retrospect the Eastview Community should have been notified.” Rondeel plans to chat with the residents individually and also hold a special meeting April 4 at 7 p.m. in the Kinsmen Room at the Rimbey Community Centre to discuss the proposal. “I hope that the good folks of Eastview will support the community garden and welcome it into their neighborhood and reap all the benefits the garden has to offer.” She said the area by Eastview Crescent was selected as it is open, has accessibility to water and is a green space seldom used. She said the issue was discussed with the CAO and also at a council’s committee of the whole meeting. “It (Eastview Crescent) seemed like the idea location. The town had black soil that had to be removed from a borrow pit that wasn’t far away and we put the soil on the garden site. I disced it with my own tractor and equipment in preparation for the 2013 season.” Rondeel noted snow and ice from street cleaning has been piled on the previous garden, damaging the soil. “The work that was done at the garden never improved the soil and the quack grass is still out of control,” she said.

The future of a proposed community garden that has raised the ire of a Rimbey resident who wants to see it shut down before it even gets into the ground, will be discussed at a council meeting next month. Dave Karroll has already garnered 44 signatures on a petition opposing Coun. Gayle Rondeel’s proposal to create a community garden in a green space at Eastview Crescent and 45 Street. Karroll said the garden must not be planted, much less allowed to come to fruition. Karroll said Rondeel never approached the residents of Eastview Crescent about plans for the garden, nor received permission from council.

Town office sale or lease on hold By Treena Mielke Council has not yet made up its mind as to the best option regarding the library expansion and a proposal to sell or lease the town offices to the library board. At its March 25 meeting, council voted in favor of a motion by Coun. Gayle Rondeel to postpone a decision until its next meeting. Rondeel would like to make the decision when all councilors were present, noting Coun. Paul Payson was being Skyped in. The motion came on the heels of a report by CAO Tony Goode that a petition presented to the town by Reuben Giebelhaus asking for a referendum on the sale of the town offices for $1 had been deemed insufficient by Brownlee LLP, Barristers and Solicitors. The petition has been deemed to be insufficient due to lack of clarity as to the nature of action sought and to the subject matter of the petition, the lawyer stated. The petition started circulating throughout town after council agreed to sell the town administration building to the Rimbey Municipal Library Board for $1. Giebelhaus, who spoke to council at

the meeting, said he was not surprised the petition was found to be invalid, however, he stood behind his belief the town should not sell or lease the town offices to the library board and he urged council to consider public opinion. “The people who signed that petition are not in favor (of selling or leasing). And you are still paying in a roundabout way for the upkeep of this (building). There is no saving dollar-wise.” Giebelhaus said the public response he has received to his petition has been positive. “You have no idea how many people contacted me and have patted me on the back for what I was doing.” Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson, who voted against the motion to postpone the issue, warned Giebelhaus to make sure the question was clear and concise if he should start another petition. “If you don’t like the decision we make (regarding the library expansion), be very careful if you start another petition. Get professional advice and be very clear on your question.” Administration reviewed the petition and found 394 of the 455 signatures were valid.

Midgets win gold in provincial OT final By Treena Mielke For two consecutive years, the Rimbey midget Renegades have won provincials. This year, the team travelled to Coaldale, defeating Irma before going up against La Crete Lumberjacks in the gold medal game, March 25. Coach Darrell Carruthers said it was an exciting game from start to finish. The first period got off to a rousing start with the Renegades taking the lead, then La Crete came back with four unanswered goals. Coaches Carruthers and Daren May gave the boys a pep talk between the first and second periods, telling them to go one step at a time and one goal at a time. The talk seemed to spur them on, as they finished the second period in 4-4 tie. At the 11:23 mark of the third period, Rimbey pulled ahead making the score 5-4, and then with less than three minutes of game time left, La Crete tied it up. Two minutes and 24 seconds into overtime, Rimbey’s Tyson Maton scored, assisted by Tye Munro, and

with the goal, Rimbey once again, became provincial champs. The team outshot La Crete 3-0 in overtime. Carruthers said the boys played exceptionally well. “The coaches are all so proud of the way they played to pull of an overtime win. Words can’t say enough.” Carruthers said the Renegades’ most valuable player, Kale Lapointe deserved recognition for a job well done, noting with 114 points, he led the league in scoring. Ty Munro, who had 71 points, was second, followed by third-place scorer Avery Weenink with 60 points. “All those boys are from Rimbey,” he said.”The top three scorers in the tier 1 league.” Carruthers said Riley Carruthers, Tyson Maton, Austin Bosgra, Douglas Wing, Kody Degenstein, Avery Weenink, Kale Lapointe and Ty Munro are all 17, meaning this is their last year of midgets. “Next year we will have to have eight new bantams coming up,” he said. The midgets defeated Viking in Manning to win gold last year.

In the back is Lane Franklin, Bailey Lawson, Kale Lapointe, Cody Scott, Douglas Wing, Riley Carruthers and Kody Degenstein. In the middle row is Nolan Carruthers, Kaiden Eadie, Avery Weenik, Milton Elliot and in the front is Tyson Maton, Tye Munro and Austin Bosgra. Coaches are Darrell Carruthers, Darren May, Corey Scott and Gerry Lawson. Photo submitted

Peewees win silver at provincials By Treena Mielke The Rimbey peewee D Renegades skated their way through provincials in Eckville without a loss — until they faced Smoky Lake Stars in the gold medal game. The Renegades put up a good fight but lost 8-7 to Smoky Lake. It was a disappointing loss, said Les Kohle, one of the team’s coaches. “They were looking for the gold. That’s what they wanted.” Smoky Lake scored with only five minutes left in regulation time.

Kohle said Rimbey played well throughout the tournament, defeating Crowsnest Pass, Spirit River and Oyen before beating Consort in the semifinals. Winning every game in the tourney left the team feeling confident when they went into the final game. However, their confidence may have worked against them. “We were too confident,” said goalie Wyatt Argent. “We were undefeated up that point.” Argent said one of Smoky Lake’s players scored several goals himself. “In my opinion that’s the only reason they won,” he said.

Community Gardens: The Benefits Health gains: - People who grow their own food have access to a variety fresh produce which supports nutritional health, decreases susceptibility to illnesses and overall reduces the burden on the health care system. - Gardening involves physical activity so it helps individuals improve their physical fitness. - Community gardens are a great place to escape from the noise and commotion of everyday urban life. - Studies show the following health benefits to be associated with involvement in community gardening: strengthened immunity, reduced rates of asthma, decreased stress, increased overall sense of well being and reduced risk of childhood lead poisoning.

Educational opportunities: - A community garden can be both a classroom and a textbook for formal and non-formal education programs and institutions. - Learning to grow plants is mentally stimulating and adds to an individual’s wealth of knowledge and expertise. - Growing a garden teaches people to think sustainably and use long-term problem-solving skills rather than relying on quick fix, short-term solutions. - Gardens can educate the public on issues such as waste minimization and recycling through composting and mulching.

Economic benefits: - Community gardens can be a significant source of food and/or income for community members. This is especially helpful for families and individuals without much land who would not otherwise be able to produce their own food. - Urban agriculture is 3 to 5 times more productive per acre than traditional large scale farming. - Studies show that community gardens can increase neighbourhood property values.

Environmental benefits: - Rainwater is filtered through gardens, helping to keep lakes, rivers and groundwater clean.

- Community gardens restore oxygen into the air and help reduce air pollution. - Large quantities of organic waste can be used to fertilize gardens, thus helping to minimize a community’s overall waste output.

Cultural opportunities: - Community garden projects give community members the opportunity to work side-by-side, regardless of cultural background or native tongue. - New immigrants can produce traditional crops that are otherwise unavailable locally. - Gardening can expose new generations to cultural traditions and promote inter-generational learning. - Community gardening enables participants from different cultural backgrounds to exchange gardening and nongardening-related knowledge with one another.

Community building: - Community gardens are a valuable social venue where neighbours can get to know one another, and build a sense of community and belonging. - By working together for a common purpose, community gardeners learn to make communal decisions, solve problems and negotiate with one another. Collective gardening increases the sense of ownership and stewardship that exists, and fosters the development of community identity and spirit.

Youth engagement: - Community gardening is a healthy, inexpensive activity for youth that can teach them about appreciation for the natural world and how to interact with others in a socially meaningful and physically productive way. - Not only can youth gain practical job and life skills through gardening (such as math skills and understanding of basic business principles), they can also learn about the work that goes into getting the food they eat to the table and about the importance of community, stewardship and environmental sustainability.

Crime prevention: - Many police departments recognize community gardening projects as an effective strategy to prevent local crime. They foster a sense of mutual respect among community members, lead to the formation of neighbourhood associations and social networks, and increase the number of eyes on the street. - Studies have shown that areas with above average green vegetation have less graffiti and littering, and lower crime rates (with no correlation between the amount of green space and income level).

Urban improvements: - A few plants and some elbow grease can transform empty lots into beautiful green spaces. - Gardens increase and protect vegetation diversity in a community, while also providing habitat for urban wildlife.

Strengthened governance: - Community gardening projects are mutually beneficial to governmental bodies and local citizens: - better relations between government and citizens - Improved organizational performance of government due to improved communication and cooperation with community members - Strengthened civil society - Community garden can help translate government policy into action (e.g., Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act, Nova Scotia’s 2020 Vision, Agenda 21).

Council approves Masons’ beautification project By Treena Mielke A beautification project, including a park and walkway, proposed by the Masons in Rimbey, has been given the green light by town council and work on the project should begin this spring. At its March 26 meeting, council approved a proposal by the Kitchner Lodge No. 95 to develop a mini park, a walkway, trees, a bridge and berms west of the soccer fields located south of town. Council, which had met with Mason representatives Earl Geibelhaus and Allan Tarleton at a committee of the whole meeting earlier, voted unanimously in favor of the project. “I think it’s a great idea as it will add to the overall beautification of the community and it will provide a place to sit and enjoy the surrounding area while you are on the walking trails,” said Coun. Gayle Rondeel. Council also agreed to provide crushed concrete from the town as well as the use of the town skid steer loader during construction. The park and walkway is to be a three- to fouryear project but the Masons would like to have the base of the trail done this year. Earl Giebelhaus said $1,500 has been earmarked for the project and more money will be raised through ladies’ night, a fundraiser to be held April 26. He said the memorial park is to be built to recognize that the Kitchener Lodge has been present in the community for 96 years and will celebrate its centennial in four years. “I’m excited about it. It will be a good thing, a way to recognize the people in the past who contributed to the Masonic Lodge.” The Masonic Fraternity has been in existence for hundreds of years and has remained true to its tradition of helping the less fortunate. Causes range from operating children’s hospitals, providing treatment for childhood language disorders, treating eye diseases, funding medical research, contributing to local community service and providing care to Masons and their families at Masonic Homes. The four million Masons worldwide continue to help men and women face the problems of the 21st century by encouraging unity and hope for the future.

High school to present Peter Pan By Treena Mielke The Rimbey high school drama class is working hard to bring to life Peter Pan, a magical tale about a boy who never grew up. The drama class will present the play April 19 and 20 at the Rimbey Community Centre as part of a dinner theatre production. Auditions for the parts are now completed with Grade 12 student Tanner Stutheit landing the part of Peter Pan, and Cassidy Street, a Grade 11 student, chosen to play the part of Tinkerbell. Alannah Albach, a Grade 12 student, will play Wendy and Captain Hook will be performed by Grade 12 student Jared Matthews. Drama teacher Shawna Murdoch is excited about the play. “I love Peter Pan. It is one of my favorite plays.” Murdoch has had to be creative to come up with ways to simulate actors actually flying and

also to devise a prop that would look like a pirate ship. Some costumes for the play have been borrowed from Ponoka Composite High School and the school also has some of their own. Murdoch is pleased to work with the students on the popular Disney play Peter Pan. “The students are very excited,” she said. “It’s a great experience for them to rehearse and finally perform in drama productions like Peter Pan. It brings them all closer together, almost like a family.” Murdoch said her drama class has performed six or seven productions since she began teaching in Rimbey 12 years ago. Dress rehearsal will be held April 16 and the drama class will perform the play for the high school students on April 18. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the animated film by Walt Disney in 1953.

Lots of exciting action is coming up in Rimbey when the Hooves & Horn Bullarama comes to town. Mark Van Tienhoven, who organizes the event along with wife Sara, said this year, the seventh annual Bullarama promises to be as entertaining and exciting than ever. “We will have 30 pro level riders and 42 bulls,” he said. “They all ride once and the top six all ride again. That’s how I decide my champion.” Bull poker is another great crowd pleaser that will be back this year. “Everyone likes to see someone run over,” Van Tienhoven said with a laugh This year, the cabaret that follows the bull riding, will feature Kixsin, an Alberta country music award-winning band. Van Tienhoven said the bullarama is a community event and groups from the area who are involved all benefit. He said this year a portion of the proceeds will go to the Rimbey Historical Society and the Rimbey Elementary School playground. Funds will also go to the Rimbey 4-H club, which helps with the clean up; the fire department, who helps hose down the arena; the ag society who rents out their bleachers; and the Lions Club, who have helped with serving in the bar in the past.

The Rimbey Review, April 2, 2013 17

Mission trip goes to heart of Cambodia By Dianne Kushniryk Part 2 of a series Her name is Pisey (P-sigh), which in Khmer (Kmy) means little darling or beloved. At first she was very, very wary of these white-skinned, well-fleshed, giant foreigners. Brought up to be respectful to her elders, she didn’t refuse our requests for photos but at first she neither smiled nor relaxed in them. She’d never really taken to outsiders, her grandmother told us through our interpreter. Nevertheless, a stick of gum, her own image on the camera, a piggyback ride and a universal game of tickle me and her reticence became enthusiasm. The grandmother in me smiled when her own grandmother slapped her gently on the back of a hand for asking for a 200 Riel note (5 cents). Her size suggested a five-year-old but her grandmother told us she was seven. I don’t know if she went to school, we never saw her dressed in the compulsory dark skirt and white blouse uniform. We were told she stayed with her grandmother because her Dad worked away. I can’t say if she had a Mom but it was her Dad who came to gather her from the neighbour’s place at the end of that first day. For most rural families it’s a hand-to-mouth existence and often one and sometimes both parents have to go away to work, to a city like Phnom Penh (P-nawm Pen) or even further away to Thailand. By the end of that first day she’d come to recognize we weren’t sex trade kidnappers, children-eating monsters or anything more than mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers in our own right. The next time we showed up in the village to work she was there to greet us. Her grandmother had our translator explain to us that Pisey had never before been so at ease with foreigners, that she had grabbed her grandmother’s hand the minute she’d seen our vans exclaiming, “They’re here, they’re here” and came running to greet us with hugs and playful pinches. Her grandmother said she loved us and I know we loved her back. Sitting back here in Canada as my own granddaughter prepares to go off on a class trip to Disneyland, I wonder where Pisey’s destiny lies. In a country where sex trafficking is big business and rural villages

are lied to and plundered, I am concerned. In a country where education is a luxury because most people can’t afford the cost of an education ($1.30 per month per child) will she ever have a chance to become all she could be? What will become of this warm, joyful child with a smile that lights up her whole Pisey won the hearts face and as a Christian of Canadian visitors how can I give her the to her Cambodian best chance at the best visitors. future? Jesus said: “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.” (Luke 9:48). So Pisey and her siblings, cousins and friends are

our responsibility and we need to take an active and reactive response to their circumstances, prospects and dreams. We need to be informed about their country and the situation there. We need to speak up; we need to be vocal about their problems and the solutions for them. We need to be an advocate for them, joining organizations and groups that address these problems. Most of all

though we need to volunteer our time and donate our money to help little girls’ like Pisey grow into the Kingdom that God has planned for them. Dianne Kushniryk is a Christian essayist who has been published in the Rimbey Review and the Red Deer Advocate. She now writes almost exclusively for her church Rimbey New Life Fellowship.

Mr. Patrick “Pat” James Hendrigan of Rimbey, Alberta passed away quietly at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre, Rimbey on Thursday, March 21, 2013 at the age of 75 years. Patrick Ian James was born on July 17, 1937, the fourth child of six born to Louis and Muriel Hendrigan, and was raised on the family homestead near Winfield. His work with the Royal Canadian Signal Corp. (SK101424) took Patrick across Canada and, as a United Nations Peace Keeper, a year each in the Sinai Peninsula (UNEF 1) and the Congo (previously Belgian Congo) (ONUC). Patrick was then a sailor with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans out of Nanaimo; a hunting guide on the Spatsizi Plateau; a fire lookout in the Rocky and Peace River Forest Districts; and then a Forest Ranger with Alberta Forest Service. In total, he worked 31 years in dedicated service towards environmental protection, retiring in August, 1993. Patrick then moved to Rimbey where he and his wife, Leigh (1943-1998) found a home. He lived among the wonderfully friendly and warm people for 20 years until he passed away from cancer. He loved the wilderness and has returned to it.

To strengthen Alberta’s environmental record, the Progressive Conservative government needs to implement a strategy to reduce pollutants emitted from burning coal and achieve measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, said Wildrose environment critic Joe Anglin. A new report suggests that there are over 700 hospital visits to Alberta’s emergency departments and 80 hospital admissions due to short-term exposure to air pollution from coal plants in Alberta annually. Anglin says Alberta is late to the party when it comes to creating meaningful reforms on reducing emissions generated from coalfired electricity, as other provinces across the country have already taken significant action. “Every Albertan has a stake in the quality of the air we breathe and we need to ensure that emissions and harm-

Nutritionist offers valuable tips for healthy lifestyle By Treena Mielke The aromas that drifted up the stairs of the Seventh Day Adventist Church from the downstairs kitchen were delicious, as, no doubt, was the taste of the freshly prepared soups, breads and casseroles. Learning to make healthy food choices, the benefits of exercise and water, how to experience forgiveness and simply natural remedies were the subjects of a healthy choices wellness workshop held at the SDA Church March 22 to 24. The workshop, taught by Darlene Blaney PhD, NCP, gave the men and women in attendance an opportunity to learn more about taking a holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle. Blaney stressed good food choices, exercise and water are the key components to healthy living.

“Avoid refined type of food such as cookies, cakes, white breads, pastas and rice. We take away the color, we take away the nutrients. Try and follow a plant based diet. Make breakfast your largest meal and eat a light fibre supper. After 4 p.m. our metabolism starts to slow down. I’m not telling everyone to be a vegetarian, just make your diet mostly whole grains and vegetables.” During the workshop, Blaney made a Mexican tortilla casserole with a non-dairy cheese sauce, a quinoa salad, pumpkin cheesecake, orange cranberry pecan bread, cream of broccoli soup and a lentil roast. Water should be the drink of choice, she said. People often don’t drink enough water, she said, noting that 75 per cent of muscles are made up of water, 80 per cent of the body and 90 per cent of the brain. “When we become dehydrated, we don’t have clear minds,” she said. Blaney recommends drinking eight to 10 glasses of water daily. She said herb teas can count for water intact. “If you don’t want to drink regular water trying using a flavored Stevia instead of the commercial flavored water,” she said. “It helps balance blood sugar and is safe for diabetics.” Blaney, whose smile and cheerful outgoing disposition, is as delightful as her recipes, also talked about the benefits of exercise during her weekend retreat. “Three to five 30-minute workouts are minimal requirements when it comes to staying

healthy, she said. To embark on a fitness plan that involves weight loss, she suggests using a pedometer and walking up to 10,000 steps daily. As much as eating right, drinking enough water and exercising regularly are excellent choices; harbouring feelings of resentment or ill will hinder individuals who strive to maintain a healthy life style. “I don’t claim to be a psychologist, but research has shown that forgiveness is important for total health.” She said researchers such as Dr. Dick Tibbits have done many case studies and have confirmed through anger management and forgiveness, one can reverse their risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure specifically by as much as 20 to 30 per cent over an eight-week time period. Blaney said her long-term goal is to open a lifestyle centre where

she could promote living a healthy lifestyle. She is especially interested in helping seniors achieve an optimal healthy lifestyle best they can be through eating healthy foods and exercising. “When you see people’s lives change, you just want to keep going and help them. It’s wonderful to be part of that.” As well as offering cooking classes and workshops throughout central Alberta, Blaney is the educational director and president of Total Health School of Nutrition. She became a nutritional consulting practitioner in 1999 and now runs her own nutritional consulting practice. She obtained her masters of science degree in nutrition in 2005 and completed her PhD in nutrition in 2010. She is the author of four vegan vegetarian cookbooks. She and husband Ron, have four children and live near Condor.
