Tom Maddox spoke at the question and answer period of the public budget meeting held at the Rimbey Community Centre, April 3. Maddox expressed concern about the cost of adult recreation and the rising cost of utilities. Treena Mielke Photo surprised how many people use the trails to get to the Parent Link Centre,” said one young lady from the audience. However, opposing views were expressed. “I’m skeptical of the number of people who do use the trails. Perhaps a trailcam should be used to see how many people are actually out there,” a resident said. The town is spending too much money on adult recreation, said resident Tom Maddox, adding he believes one tax dollar in five goes toward recreation. “Where I come from they pay for recreation themselves. You’ve got to have some idea between needs and wants.” But Rev. Lewis argued money spent on recreation facilities such as the aquatic centre was a good thing. “As a parent I’m really happy about the pool. And my 10-year-old son is as well.”
Maddox was also concerned water and sewer rates continue to rise. Coun. Paul Payson said the town has an aging infrastructure and utility costs are coming closer to the actual cost born by the town for water and sewer. Concern about the big trucks driving through town was also expressed. “The town needs to get off their haunches and lobby Edmonton to get a ring road,” a resident suggested. Working together and focusing on the positive needs to be encouraged, said Coun. Gayle Rondeel. “I feel that if as much effort was put into supporting and discussing issues as there was in destroying everything this community would truly be a wonderful place to live,” she said. Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson said the economic picture looks bright for Rimbey. “Our economy is quite strong. I believe we are sitting on the cusp of a great economic surge.”

The Rimbey Review, April 9, 2013 3
Teachers’ framework agreement ratified by school board By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye The Alberta government’s teacher framework agreement has been ratified by Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS) board of trustees. Teachers and WCPS can look forward to a four-year agreement from 2012-13 to 2015-16 with no salary increase for the first three years. The fourth year sees a twoper-cent increase plus a one-per-cent lump sum payment on Nov. 15, 2015. Trustees came to the agreement after a meeting April 3 with Gene Williams, executive director of strategic financial services for Alberta Education, and Doug Coffin, director of zone 4 services. Chairperson Trudy Bratland was pleased to have Williams clarify the agreement. “He allayed any concerns or misapprehensions that we had.” For secretary-treasurer Joe Henderson, the deal helps administration plan for the future. “Getting a zero, zero, zero and a two, that’s pretty substantial monetary implications for a school board.” Salaries and benefits amount to $45 million that WCPS pays its teachers. Henderson believes school boards and teachers have had to make compromises to ensure this deal can work. However a long-term agreement brings stability to school boards and can take away from negotiations becoming

School board sets student allocation By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Schools in Ponoka can work out their budgets now that Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS) has set the student allocation. Grades 1 to 12 have been set at $4,912 with early childhood development or kindergarten approved at $2,470 per student. In the budget discussions April 3, superintendent Larry Jacobs was asked about funds needed for a school resource officer (SRO). Most schools have factored in the cost for an officer in their budgets but Ponoka is slightly different. Usually there is a cost-sharing arrangement for the officer; in this case WCPS is looking to share the cost

with Ponoka County and the Town of Ponoka. “That person would be wholly assigned to work with schools in a more proactive sense,” Jacobs said in an interview. He feels an officer can help raise drug prevention awareness, positive citizenship and “all the kinds of things that come up for young people.” He sees the SRO with an office at the high school but would move around throughout the schools to address students’ needs. “We’ve got commitments from obviously the school division. We have com-
mitments from the county of Ponoka. We do not have a commitment from the Town of Ponoka at this point,” explained Jacobs. He has been in discussion with Mayor Larry Henkelman and CAO Brad Watson recently in planning for an SRO and how that would work for the town. “What we’re waiting for is the citizens and town council and the senior administration in Ponoka to consider this carefully and come on board to assist us,” said Jacobs. The commitment to the town is approximately $30,000 per year, he added. Continued on page 8

the superintendent; this exceptions committee would be a last resort. “But at the end of the day the board or superintendents office can say, ‘Thank you but were not changing our practice.” The superintendent would have the chance to dictate what is reviewed. For teachers requiring 907 instructional hours, chairperson Bratland feels WCPS will manage the requirement but she sees some challenges for rural schools, which are already stretched thin. Boards are able to negotiate with teachers who have more hours to bring down their hours over the next years. “We haven’t really discussed the nitty-gritty of that,” Bratland said. Williams suggests if teachers are not going to receive a raise for the next three years then the board has to give something in return to teachers. He believes there are ways to manage that time and leaves it to individual boards and teachers to work out. All or nothing for school boards and Alberta Education The agreement gives all 62 Alberta school boards until May 15 to ratify the agreement. However Jeff Johnson, Minister of Education does not say what will occur if some boards do not sign the agreement. “The minister has been questioned about what that means and what that looks like and his continual response has been, ‘We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.’” Henderson explained. There are some avenues left to the Johnson who could drop the deal completely. This would force the boards to deal with teachers’ contracts locally or there could be a ministerial order forcing school boards to make a decision. “They’re really reluctant to doing anything solid with that at this point,” added Henderson. “I’m fairly confident that one way or another this will move along,” stated Bratland. She looks forward to the board of trustees’ plans for students.

The king is dead. Ralph Klein, the straight-shootin’, smokin’, drinkin’ populist premier, died Good Friday after a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dementia. He was 70. It may be some George Brown time before the euloOff the Record gists, columnists and apologists fairly tabulate his 14-year reign as premier of Alberta; he was a polarizing figure who alienated unions and bureaucrats, and was embraced by the Marthas and Henrys of the province. Ralph called ’em as he seen ’em and that endeared him to “ordinary Albertans” — as he liked to call us, differentiating us from the suits in Calgary office towers, who also liked him. Ralph was on his way out after a good run as premier when we last had time to sit down and chat. He and the cabinet ministers who would jostle to replace him as leader of the Progressive Conservative party and premier attended the annual convention of the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association (AWNA). He seemed tired, drawn and exasperated, like a corpulent balloon with a slow leak. A smoker who never seemed to have any of his own, he clucked when I told him my $400 in Ralph Bucks bought some very fine premium cigars. A decade earlier, in the midst of his cuts, the Alberta Government sponsored lunch at the AWNA convention. Not sure what the budget was, we asked what should be served in light of the cutbacks. We enjoyed Alberta beef on a bun and ice cold Big Rock. That was Ralph. Jim Henderson, former health minister in the So-
cial Credit government of Harry Strom, used to pop into my office in Devon and talk politics. Long before Klein won his fourth solid majority government, Henderson observed Ralph should retire because he had “lost the fire in his belly.” I think he was bored with governing in Alberta’s salad days — how could that compare to slaying the deficit and living the Alberta Advantage? Ralph told me that day that it was more difficult to govern when the treasury was awash in oil royalties because everyone had a hand out, pleading their case for funding. It was much easier to say no when Alberta was $23 billion in debt and everyone was tightening their belts. When he turned over the keys to Ed Stelmach, there was no deficit, no debt; the sustainability fund was $17 million and the Heritage Fund stood at $14 billion. He proved you could govern progressively without deficit spending. And in key circumstances, personality is better than policy. Hard as it was to believe, Ralph admitted the government didn’t have a plan to manage the billions; it took them be surprise. It showed. A longtime liberal before he became a PC MLA and cabinet minister, in his first term Klein cut the size of the provincial cabinet, cut the civil service and cut almost $1 billion in spending. Early on he carved out the now cliché, “Alberta doesn’t have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem.”Years later he could spend $1 billion before noon. He cut health care and education spending and the province has never recovered. Klein tried a couple of times to sneak some form of private health care into the system and was soundly rebuffed by Albertans each time. Remember the Bill 11 demonstrations at the Alberta Legislature? How about electricity and natural gas deregulation and then the rebates to ease the pain? He didn’t unite Albertans behind him — except at election time when the opposition parties had no one to match his folksy political magnetism. He did
Editor George Brown presents Premier Ralph Klein with a gift of fishing gear on his retirement. rally Albertans in his battles — some trumped up — against the Liberal governments in Ottawa. Would he have succeeded with a conservative government in Ottawa? Coincidentally, Klein’s health worsened as Premier Alison Redford began to drain the surplus and deliver a deficit budget, muddying the budget transparency he had legislated. The changes he made to government and the billions he saved for future generations have been all but wiped out by his successors. Ralph made his mistakes and admitted most of them. Whether it was shared by all, he had a vision for Alberta and he delivered. The best compliment I can offer is that Ralph was a good guy. Alberta will miss his winning mix of charisma and candour.
Is United States headed to war in Korea? Gwynne Dyer Guest Columnist
The US-South Korean military exercises will continue until the end of this month and the North Korean threats to do something terrible if they do not stop grow more hysterical by the day. The Great Successor, Kim Jong-un, was shown signing a decree that ordered North Korea’s longrange missile forces to be ready to launch against the United States, while senior military officers looked on approvingly. On the wall behind Kim was a map, helpfully labelled “US Mainland Strike Plan,” that showed the missile trajectories from North Korea to Hawaii, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Austin, Texas. (Why Austin? Doesn’t he like indie rock?) It was a scene straight out of the villain’s lair in an early James Bond movie, except they’d forgotten to set it in a cave. These threats are so palpably empty that the instinct of both the Pentagon and the US State Department is just to ignore them. North Korea has no operational missile that can reach even western Alaska, no miniaturized nuclear warhead to put on such a missile, and no long-range targeting capability. But the politics of the situation demands the US government respond seriously to every threat, however foolish. So recently the U.S. government sent two B-2 bombers all the way from Missouri non-stop to drop bombs on some uninhabited islands near North Korea, just to remind Pyongyang that it can. It’s all still just a charade so far, and the United States would not even play this game if the logic of
both international and domestic politics did not oblige it to respond. But it is playing nevertheless and the risk of miscalculation is quite serious. The North Korean military doubtless understands that they must not get into a nuclear war with the United States, but they may believe that its dozen or so nuclear weapons make it safe for them to use conventional force without facing American nuclear retaliation. And they do have rather a lot of conventional military force at their disposal. Kim Jong-un’s threats are being exposed as bluffs almost daily, and he may ultimately feel obliged to DO something to restore his credibility. It would probably be just a limited local attack somewhere but in the current psychological atmosphere that could escalate rapidly to full-scale conventional war. It would be a major war, for although North Korea’s weapons are mostly last-generation, that is not such a big handicap in ground warfare as it is in the air or at sea. North Korean troops are well-trained and there are more than a million of them. The North Koreans would attack south in a three-pronged thrust, accompanied by Special Forces operations deep in South Korean territory
— just as they did in 1950. The geography gives them few alternatives. US-South Korean strategy would also echo 1950-51: contain the North Korean attack as close to the border as possible, and then counter-attack up the west coast on an axis heading north through Kaesong to Pyongyang. Even if the North Korean air force were effectively destroyed in the first couple of days, as it probably would be, this would be a highly mobile, hard-fought land war in densely populated territory involving high casualties and massive destruction. The world has not seen such a war for more than 50 years now. We really don’t need to see it again. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

SIMARD MD valuable tool to assess drivers Dear Editor: I am writing in response to Stuart Pearke’s letter in the April 2 Rimbey Review. Mr. Pearke is entirely correct that Alberta Transportation does not require individuals over the age of 74 to complete a SIMARD MD or DriveAble. However, Alberta Transportation does require all individuals over the age of 74 (as well as individuals seeking certain license classes, and individuals with certain medical conditions) to have a Medical Examination for Motor Vehicle Operators. Physicians are asked to complete a form with specific information relevant to an individual’s ability to drive. Physicians use a variety of tools to answer the questions. Just like a physician would use a blood pressure machine to answer the question about blood pressure, and an eye chart to answer the question about visual acuity, a physician may use a SIMARD MD to answer the questions about memory dysfunction and dementia. The SIMARD MD is a simple of-
fice test that costs patients nothing and the developers of it provide it free to physicians. It was scientifically tested and correlated well with actual driving performance. It can be completed on drivers of any age, as there is proof that multiple medical problems can also contribute to being an unsafe driver. The test provides a numerical score that puts the individual into one of three categories (it is not a pass/fail as Mr. Pearke suggests). The test is not meant to replace a physician’s clinical judgment. Based on its result, and the rest of the results from the medical exam, a physician will make a recommendation whether the individual should have a road test.

Support of library expansion is a credit to town Dear Editor: For several weeks the reaction to the proposed expansion of the Rimbey Municipal Library has been interesting. There are many views on whether the library should move to new premises, expand into the current town office or whether we need a library at all in this modern age. Ever since someone scratched some symbols into wet clay or a rock some 5,000 years ago, libraries have become an essential part of civilized society. Almost solely funded by the governments of the day, a library should not be undervalued because of its role as a repository of knowledge, educational activities, and the cultural well-being of a community no matter what part of the world we live. The role of libraries has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. They have strived to keep up with the digital age as well as maintaining their traditional role. This holds true for a small com-

PUBLIC NOTICE KEYERA ENERGY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT ACT NOTICE OF APPLICATION NEW PIPELINE PROJECT In accordance with the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, Keyera Energy (Keyera) has applied to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for an approval to construct the Rimbey Ethane Pipeline Looping Project. Keyera is proposing to construct approximately 34.6 km of 168.3 mm O.D. pipeline in Townships 43 and 44, Ranges 26 to 28 W4M and Townships 43 and 44, Range 1 W5M. The proposed pipeline will transport high vapor pressure liquids (HVP) from the Keyera Rimbey Sour Gas Plant (2-5-44-1 W5M) to the Alberta Ethane Gathering System (AEGS) tiein at 2-26-43-26 W4M. The proposed pipelines will require a 10 m wide permanent right-of-way with 8 m of temporary workspace, 3 m of which is located on the existing adjacent pipeline. Construction is scheduled to commence in Summer 2013. Pursuant to Section 72 of the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, any person who is directly affected by this operation may submit a written statement of concern regarding this application. Failure to file a statement of concern may affect the right to file a notice of objection (on appeal) with the Environmental Appeal Board. Such a statement of concern must be submitted to: Director of Southern Region Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development Regulatory Approvals Centre Main Floor, 9820 - 106 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2J6
munity like Rimbey. Libraries, community halls, sports arenas, swimming pools — $2 million over budget. Where was the petition on that? — playgrounds and many other community projects require funding from all levels of governments to grow and survive. This in spite of any fund raising efforts. The Rimbey library is no different. The big question is where does the funding come from, how much is needed, how much can we afford to spend, and what are future requirements? I agree with some commentary that a financial plan is needed. What would the cost difference be between moving into the present town office as opposed to moving into some other real estate? What are the town administration’s plans for moving? Is it in need of more room and if so, what is wrong with using empty Provincial Building space? The suggestion that building upward and outward of the current building might be considered. What is the projected costs and feasibility of this idea.? The idea of the library raising its own funds sounds great. Perhaps the petitioners could work on a fundraising scheme on behalf of the library. Fundraising campaigns have been done in Rimbey in the past for several community projects so why not for the library? To those opposed to the library expansion, I wonder how many of you support the library? Do you hold a borrowing card? Do you take part in any of the library programs? Do you donate money or time volunteering at the library? In an unrelated issue, a recent writer decried the decline of Rimbey by suggesting the rec director is leaving Rimbey because of “serious issues” with the administration. There are some issues here but I don’t think the administration is solely at fault. This same writer blamed the town administration for a decline in Rimbey’s population. I would hazard a guess that other reasons compelled people to move from Rimbey. Does this writer and others like him think the current library issue is the fault of the current administration? Rimbey needs its library. Support by Rimbey residents to ensure a modern, viable library would do the town credit. Darrell Carrigan

Kudos go to helping students Dear Editor: In regards to your recent story Students gear up, send bikes cross ocean as treasure, a big hooray goes out to these students. We should all be so very proud. If I had shirt button they would be popping at these positive efforts. When I see young people trying to make the world a better place and putting others first, I just want to get behind them and support these students who are so actively involved in trying to help others and looking beyond self. Rimbey should indeed be extremely proud of these students and I hope the community gets behind them.
Volunteering and helping others builds character, nurtures connection and promotes good citizenship. It may prevent other activity that lead to behaviours that are detrimental to the individual and society. So let’s get behind them however we can. Maybe this project will blossom into a continued project with community spirit and support behind it. Maybe others can lend these special students a hand, donate parts or whatever. Such an initiative as this deserves our participation. I am thrilled to see young people step out and doing good. Thank you to all who had a part in this. Sherrie Mitchell
Cambodia mission amazing adventure Dear Editor: Rimbey New Life Fellowship members have been questioned as to the results of our mission trip and if we were going to do a presentation. As a member of the team of nine who went to Cambodia, I would like to update our families, friends and supporters. We will be doing something for the community who was so generous to us in the near future. Our pastor is away on a well earned holiday and since his wife was a part of the team we would like her to be part of the presentation. I will be writing articles for the paper with my experiences and thoughts but of course I cannot speak for any-
one else but myself. We took more than 2,000 pictures and 40 small videos and so we need some time to put these in order and do up a slideshow to go along with our lecture. We would like to thank all those who donated to this worthwhile cause. We were able to donate funds for 90 filters, we built 102 of them and installed, as near as I can figure out, 56. We also dug and built two latrines. This was an amazing adventure and I would highly recommend the experience to anyone who has a heart for those less fortunate than us blessed Canadians. Again, thank you. Dianne Kushniryk

Sour grapes seem to motivate writer Dear Editor, Having attended more than one successful fundraiser on behalf of the Rimbey Municipal Library, and having participated in a few of the special events this librarian has organized for the community, I am beyond baffled by the claims made by a former town councillor Dave Karroll regarding Jean Keetch. It causes me to question the veracity of most everything else he writes. Jean has deep historical roots in the community, and I know her to be sincere and hard working. Indeed, many of her hours are volunteer ones, in support of a vision that benefits us all. In light of that
kind of commitment and hard work, who in his right mind would attribute such work to a selfish ego? Sadly, Mr. Karroll, you come across to me as one who is packing a heavy load of sour grapes. Meanwhile, I will continue to attend the theatrical and musical events the library folks arrange; I will continue to support the occasional event in the comfortable setting of the library; and I may even read a book. I invite you to join me. Connie Jensen Buck Lake

Meals on wheels provides valuable community service By Treena Mielke The value of eating hot, nutritious meals cannot be emphasized enough, but sometimes, due to ill health or a physical disability, it is impossible to prepare such a meal for yourself. That’s where Meals on Wheels comes in. The FCSS program is a popular one in Rimbey and sometimes more than 20 meals are taken to shut-ins, said executive director Peggy Makofka. “The need for hot, nutritious meals brought to the home is increasing,” she said. Makofka said the main purpose of Meals on Wheels is to improve the nutritional status of the individuals receiving the service. As well as providing healthy food, Meals on Wheels provides social contact for people living at home, allows the disabled and
elderly to maintain their independence as long as possible and serves as a check-up service on the well-being of the recipient. As Rimbey has primarily an elderly population, Meals on Wheels is especially helpful in assisting residents who may wish to continue to live in their own home but are not prepared to cook their own meals. The program is also available to those who may need it short-term. Meals in Rimbey are prepared at Parkland Manor and delivered to the recipient by volunteers. Makofka said volunteers usually deliver the meals on a schedule. “We even have a couple businesses in town who let their staff take a turn at delivering meals,” she said. “We have wonderful volunteers but we can always use more.”

School board Continued from page 3 Possible changes after May 15 framework agreement deadline Money was budgeted for teachers’ salaries but if the new agreement with school boards and the province (see other school board story page XX) works out, WCPS may have extra funds to help schools with their budgets. The board of trustees also agreed to take $20 off of the student allocation to help pay for updating technology in the schools. Pembina Hills distance learning Trustees received a letter from Pembina Hills Regional Division about changes to the 2013 Alberta budget. Schools who have students taking a distance learning course will only receive 44 per cent of their student allocation, while a distance learning division gets the difference. Pembina Hills would like to discuss these changes and their offerings to WCPS. Eckville trustee Karin Engen feels Pembina should present to the entire zone. “I think all eight school boards in central Alberta could use it.” The board of trustees agreed to invite Pembina Hills to meet with zone 4 school boards and superintendent Jacobs to meet with them.

They are deadly tools that cut and tear through steel and metal quickly destroying everything that gets in their way. But without them, precious minutes would be lost and a motor vehicle accident where hope lives on in the faint and erratic heartbeat of a victim lying in a vehicle crushed beyond recognition would turn into yet another fatality. They are the Jaws of Life and Rimbey Fire Chief John Weisgerber said the tools are invaluable to his department. “We have had them here for quite awhile,” he said. “We were one of the first smaller communities to have them.” Weisgerber explained the Jaws of Life work on hydraulics. They are always brought along in the rescue van and when fired up, they can cut through metal, removing doors and literally tearing a vehicle apart so the person trapped inside can be safely extricated. “They are a very useful part of the fire departments tool arsenal,” Weisgerber said. “Unfortunately, when you need to use them, it is not a good situation.” The fire chief said using the Jaws of Life allows emergency crews to get to the accident victim by removing parts of the vehicle in which they are trapped. He said the trapped person naturally

wants out of a vehicle as quickly as possible, but they need to have patience and let the crews do their jobs. “We don’t like to move people until we are sure it is safe and we need to be sure that moving them won’t leave them paralyzed,” he said. “Most people want out quickly, but it’s not like Hollywood and the car is not going to blow up right away.’ Weisgerber said out of the 10 or 15 motor vehicle accidents the fire department attend in a year, about one-third of them require use of the Jaws of Life. “And they actually save lives,” he said. The members of Rimbey fire department are trained in extrication and skilled in using the Jaws of Life if they need to employ the tools while at the scene of an accident. Weisgerber is pleased to note the number of calls where his department has been the first responders have come down in the last few months. However, he said the firemen are on the scene along with the police and ambulance at all calls. “We all respond and we all work together.” Responding to serious accidents is a difficult part of a firefighter’s job and one that some find too disturbing to deal with, he noted. “It isn’t for everybody.

Rick Kreklewich
Rec director accepts job in Blackfalds By Treena Mielke After 11 years as recreation director for the Town of Rimbey, Rick Kreklewich is moving on. Kreklewich has accepted a position for the Town of Blackfalds as recreation and marketing co-ordinator. During his time in Rimbey, Kreklewich was able to see the new outdoor swimming pool come to fruition and be part of a growing recreation department. He also was instrumental in expanding the town’s website. “Working in Rimbey has been a great experience, but now I will be able to take that experience and move forward.” Kreklewich plans to move to Blackfalds eventually with his wife, Sara and children, three-year-old Kailey and four-month-old Kenton. However, Kreklewich, who is to begin his job this month, will commute in the interim. “He put a lot of years into recreation here in Rimbey and he will be missed,” said Rimbey’s assistant chief executive officer, Melissa Beebe.
Jaws of Life Continued from page 10 Firemen who have been called to an accident where there is serious injury or loss of life will go through at least one debriefing, said Weisgerber. The fire chief, who has been on the department for about 16 years, agreed the job can be difficult. However, knowing he has made a difference in someone’s life and the lives of his or her family keeps him coming back. “It’s mentally and physically challenging. You have to keep your mind engaged and make decisions quickly. And people are grateful for what we do. We do make a difference in the community. We’re out there, trying to help wherever we can.”

Drugstores participate in protest against budgetary cuts By Treena Mielke Rimbey drugstore owners will suspend services during the high point of the business day Thursday, April 11 in protest against the government’s decision to slash pharmacy reimbursement without consulting pharmacists. Carl Ziegler from Rimbey Pharmasave and Patrick Rurka from Rimbey Value Drug Mart will join other pharmacists in an Alberta-wide protest against the budgetary move. The drugstores will be closed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 11. Both pharmacies will have staff present at the entrance encouraging discussion and
providing a petition for concerned patients to sign. The pricing of six generic drugs was reduced April 1 from 35 per cent of the cost of the brand name drugs to 18 per cent and the remainder will be slashed May 1. Ziegler regrets inconveniencing his customers. “The decision to close isn’t something taken for granted but to ensure that the doors stay open going forward, we need to get the government’s attention. They certainly have shown little interest in our profession and the services we provide. “They have completely blindsided our association and profession by cutting the pricing of generics literally in half. This
devastates the ability for any pharmacy to continue to offer the broad range of services we once did.” Rurka said the government’s decision to dictate the price for which he can buy and sell drugs without leaving enough room to cover costs, has left him no alternative but to stand up and object. “The care and safety of our customers is, and always will be, the cornerstone of our business. We need the government to come back to the table so we can find a middle ground that will work for all sides. “The proposed system is almost crippling with extra paperwork that decreased the amount of time we can spend with pa-
tients.” The government needs to relax the criteria for annual care plans and medication assessments so that all Albertans are eligible, he added. “Regrettably, the accessibility of pharmacists will be hindered and this was one of our greatest strengths as a profession; to be accessible and able to serve our patients,” noted Ziegler. Pharmacy rallies are being held throughout Alberta. On April 11, pharmacists will present the government with petitions signed by concerned patients.
Quit Core program successful for most smokers By Treena Mielke Heather Sakofsky smoked for 40 years. She enjoyed it. She liked to sit out on her deck with a coffee and a cigarette and when she was stressed, like so many people; she automatically reached for a cigarette. It calmed her down. But today Sakofsky is a non-smoker and she is proud and happy, though she admits she doesn’t want to get too cocky, because she knows as well as anyone, quitting smoking is not an easy task and starting again can be as close as allowing yourself to take only one drag of a forbidden cigarette. However, since taking the Quit Core program, Sakofsky has butted out for good. “I’m surprised at how easy it’s been,” she said. “I was terrified to go to it because I didn’t want to be a failure.” Sakofsky said the support and information she received during the program was enough to make her kick the habit, this time for good. “I quit once before for six weeks. My daughter had her cigarette laying in the ashtray and I thought I could just have a puff.” She shook her head. “No, I can’t,” she said ruefully. It is a common fact smoking is bad for you but exactly how bad it can be was brought home to Sakofsky during the program where a film was shown about the serious effects on health the nasty habit can have. Not listening to that little voice inside your head
Rimbeyy High School
Trudy Begley, Joy Howells, Judy Dyrland, Lawrence Wright, Darcy Murfitt, Heather Sakofsky and Jeri McMaster are recent graduates of the Quit Core program held recently in Rimbey. Patrick Rurka, far right, taught the program. Photo submitted that says its OK to have just one, or to simply have a drag, is imperative, said Sakofsky. “You have to keep talking to yourself. It’s all psychological.” Patrick Rurka, owner of Rimbey Value Drug Mart, said 16 people registered for the last Quit Core program, 10 came to the majority of classes and eight of those had quit smoking by the end of the seventh week. He said the course works well but people need to remember it can take seven to nine attempts to be successful. Rurka said the hardest part about the course is keeping the commitment to attend. “I can’t force anyone to quit but I can provide tools, information, encouragement and the occasional good
laugh that helps make the process easier.” He said quitting is an individual decision. “At some point during the seven weeks (of the program) each person there has their own epiphany. That helps them solidify their reason for quitting.” Rurka encourages participants to bring a support person to help them through the rough spots but if they don’t’ have one, he is more than willing to be that person. “I give out my cell number to the class and encourage them to text me with their successes and their stresses.” Most people aren’t successful at quitting because they are letting something stand in their way.

“Once we identify what’s standing in their way we can attack it head on. We first have to determine why you smoke, then we add tools to your tool box that will teach you how to live without cigarette.” Graduates of the program noted it is easier to quit in a group because everyone is facing the same hurdles. Graduates also noted hearing other people’s success stories was a great confidence booster and the support from program organizers was uplifting and encouraging. “When I finally realized I couldn’t quit for anyone else, I had to do it for myself the process became easier,” one participant commented. Rurka is encouraged by the success of the participants. “The biggest changes I see over the course of seven weeks is the color that returns to a person’s face after they quit smoking. Most don’t notice the difference, but subtly over the weeks the pink returns to their cheeks and they start to glow. Their smiles brighten as they realize they are conquering their overpowering addiction.” The next Quit Core program will begin April 16 and run until May 28 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre in the auditorium. To register call 1-866-710-QUIT (7848) or just show up.

The Rimbey Review, April 9, 2013 13
Students busy rehearsing for play By Treena Mielke The childhood classic, Peter Pan, will soon be brought to life on stage by Rimbey high school’s own talented young drama students. The students are busy rehearsing for the play to be held as part of a dinner theatre at Rimbey Community Centre April 19 and 20. Peter Pan, played by Grade 12 student Tanner Stutheit, is a challenging role, said the young actor. “I am ready to embrace it, but it is a bigger role than I have had before. It’s challenging but it is a lot of fun.” Jaret Matthews, who plays Captain Hook, said playing the role of a bad guy creates a new and different challenge. “It’s interesting for sure.” Matthews, who performed in The Wizard of Oz with Stutheit, is glad he has some acting experience to fall back on but he was pleased to note the younger students who are performing for the first time have stepped up to the plate well and are showing lots of talent. Alannah Albach, who plays Wendy, said Peter Pan was her favorite play as a child and Wendy was her favorite part. Albach played the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. “It’s a pretty drastic change. That’s the fun part about acting, you get to play whoever you want.” Tickets for the dinner theatre are available at the school.

Cambodians’ dreams are hard to realize By Dianne Kushniryk Part 3 of a series The majority of the Cambodian population remains some of the poorest in the world: the typical salary is $1 a day — $200 a month is a good income, even allowing for a family to save. Tuk Tuk drivers average $60 to $100 a month and that is working usually, seven 12-hour days and their overhead comes out of that. Gas is about $1.40 a litre. The first day in Phnom Phen the sights, sounds and smells of poverty overwhelmed and, I admit, revolted me but by the time we left I was so humbled by the generosity of the Khmer people that I was unaware of the obvious. They have so little but give so much; not only whatever of the material they can’t afford to give but their kindness, their respect, and their hearts. Here in a country that has so much we give so little and we even seem unwilling to share or even risk our over abundance. In the gospels there are two stories that contrast this gap and are so representative of this difference. In Luke 18:1-23 we read the story of the rich man (Canada) who asks Jesus what he has to do to achieve eternal life. Besides keeping the commandments Jesus told him: “There is still one thing you lack, sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” But upon hearing this, the rich man became sad because he was very rich and he turned and walked away. Luke (21:1-4) also contains the story of the poor widow (Cambodia) “While Jesus was in the Temple, He watched the rich people putting their gifts into the collection box. Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two pennies. ‘I assure you,’ He said, ‘this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. For they have given a tiny part of their surplus,
Tuk Tuk drivers average $60 to $100 a month and that is working usually, seven 12-hour days and their overhead comes out of that. Gas is about $1.40 a litre. but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.’” As Canadians we pat ourselves on the back for all the foreign aid we give and grumble under our breath because the cost of living has risen. In Cambodia there is no health care, no social services, no old age pension, no Workers Compensation, no employment insurance and no disability programs. We heard so many stories of hardship and
need but in voices that gave thanks to God for what He had done and held no bitterness or even resignation just joy. One young man who had been born in a refugee camp in Thailand where more than 500,000 Cambodians fled the Khmer Rouge, told this story. Dara was raised by a single mom after his alcoholic father disappeared early in his life.

Little Suzy helps kids avoid poisons Parents, caregivers and teachers now have an interactive way to educate children about poisons likely found around their homes. The Poison and Drug Information Service (PADIS), a part of Alberta Health Services (AHS), has developed a child-friendly game in which kids follow a character named Little Suzy through the kitchen, bathroom and garage of her ‘House of Horrors’ to find out more about common household toxins, as well as items that may be dangerous if taken at an incorrect dosage or stored improperly. The game can be found online at www. padis.ca or www.houseofhorrors.ca. “It’s important for kids to know even items that look like toys or candy can really hurt them,” says Dr. Mark Yarema, medical director for PADIS. “Things like dishwasher pods and anti-freeze look fun and appetizing to kids, but can really hurt them if they play with them or try to eat them. This fun and friendly tool is one more way we can keep kids safe and make the information stick.” Across Alberta last year, PADIS received close to 5,000 calls about cough and cold medicine, and more than 2,000 calls about acetaminophen. Other household dangers can include vitamins, birth control pills, oven cleaner and mouse poison. “We really tried to pinpoint the top items that kids can get into around the house that parents don’t always think to store out of reach, like vitamins, or that kids might not think are dangerous, like batteries,” says Amber Goulard with AHS communications, who helped develop the game. “This tool teaches kids about these items and gives parents prevention tips to protect their children.” PADIS experts — available 24/7 at 1-800332-1414 — provide advice on poisons, toxins, medications and herbals. They can also let callers know what to do when their child gets into something that’s potentially toxic.

Mayner graduates from Cattlemen’s Young Leaders Program By Treena Mielke
ing, Mayner said. “While the formal part of the mentorship has ended, I look forward to continuing to attend different events and learning from the people involved with the CYL program. It has been an incredible experience to be able to learn, firsthand, from the leaders of the beef industry. Participating in the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders program has made me realize the importance of youth in agriculture and I am excited to be a part of an industry with such a promising future.” The graduation ceremonies for graduates from the CYL program was held in conjunction with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s annual general meeting in Ottawa, Ont. Mayner graduated from the University of Alberta with a bachelor of science degree in agriculture, majoring in animal science. She is currently a cattle buyer trainee for Cargill Meat Solutions in High River.
Amy Mayner has spent the last eight months gaining insight into Canada’s beef industry as a participant of the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders Program. Mayner, who grew up in Bluffton, was one of 16 young people selected to participate in the program that provides a mentorship to participants as well as allowing them the opportunity to attend a variety of related events. The program, available for producers between the ages of 18 and 35 years, also gives the young people an opportunity to participate in provincial, national and international discussions that define the direction and future of the Canadian cattle and beef industry. “I would highly recommend this program to any young producer with an interest in becoming increasingly involved in the beef industry,” said Mayner. During the eightmonth program, Mayner won a trip to attend the International Livestock Congress in Denver, Colo., a conis holding their ference held in conjunction with the National Western Stock Show. She also participated in several tours At the office in Rimbey, Alberta including a visit to the Colorado State UniverOn Wednesday, sity, the Canadian ConApril 17, 2013 sulate, and an Angus operation.

Two Bentley Canuck teams compete at provincials By June Norvila Not one, but two, Bentley Minor Hockey (BMH) teams qualified for provincial playoffs this season — the atom and the peewee Canucks. The Bentley tier 3 atoms, coached by Jeremy Park with assistant coaches Troy Pollitt and Jody Millar, and manager Karen Jaffray, won 14 out of 18 out of their regular league games, only one point behind Castor and tied for second place with Innisfail. The team of 15 boys and girls had a mix of nine first-year and six second-year players. “Our atom team has had a very successful year,” stated Park. “We did win our zone playdowns, finishing first as zone 4 atom D champs and qualifying for the provincial tournament on March 14 to 17 in Consort.” They had held a Bentley-area bottle drive to help with costs to attend provincials. “We had a great time at provincials,” Park said. “We won one game and lost two but the kids had a memorable weekend regardless of the outcome. It was a great accomplishment to be our zones rep at provincials and we played some really good hockey.” At their home tournament earlier in February against seven other teams, the Canucks narrowly lost out to Andrew in the final game. In league playoffs, after beating Spruceview and Innisfail and advancing to the league championship final, all two-game total-points series, Bentley met Castor. The first game ended tied 7-7 meaning the second game would decide the champion. “We jumped out to an early lead, and held onto it through the middle of the third period but Castor was able to battle back and tie the game with

under five minutes left in the game. With just over one minute left, Bentley scored to put us in front 6-5 and we were able to hold on until the final buzzer,” explained Park. Bentley was presented the league championship banner. “It was a great way to end the season,” Park stated proudly. “We are the North Central Minor Hockey Association (NCMHA) Tier 3 (Atom) League Champs. We are very proud of the kid’s accomplishments this year, both individually and as a team.” The Bentley peewee tier 3 team, coached by Brian Gerrits and Darren Gyori, with manager Nathalie Gyori, also had a great season, especially taking into consideration that every single player on the team was a first year peewee player. They finished with 17 wins, only one loss and two ties, placing first in the NCMHA tier 3 peewee regular season. They become the aone 4 peewee C champions by playing against Blackfalds, Devon and Calmar. “Every series was (supposed) to be a best of two games, however since we beat each team by more than 10 goals in the first game, we only ended up playing each team in one game, instead of two, to win the title,” explained Nathalie Gyori. They had earned the chance to go on to provincials in Redwater for March 21 to 24. “We lost to Elk Point and Valleyview but won against Sundre. The team played well and tried hard but unfortunately did not make it to the finals,” reported Gyori. For some the hockey season is over. For others there is still spring hockey and later on summer hockey camps, but any way you slice it, Bentley Minor Hockey will be ready to go again in the fall.
