Bluffton students participate in session from space By Treena Mielke The most amazing thing about talking to astronaut Chris Hadfield for Bluffton Grade 8 student Megan Theveau was watching him move about in the International Space Station while they were chatting. “He was just basically floating around,” she said. The 13-year-old was one of 41 students from Bluffton who travelled to the Telus World of Science April 9 to participate in a live question and answer session from space with Hadfield. “I asked him what the stars look like in space and he said they were a lot brighter and clearer there,” she said. Ashley Matson, a 15-year-old Grade 9 student, found the experience of talking to him “pretty cool.” Rebecca Lohmann, 14, who is also in Grade 9, asked the astronaut what he missed the most while up in space. “He told me people in general and hot showers,” she said. Phillip Hambly, Bluffton junior high math and science teacher, who went with his classes to the science centre, said they are still talking about the experience of attending the session with Hadfield. “To say it piqued their curiosity is putting it mildly,” he said. During the session, Hadfield gave the Bluffton students who were among 500 Edmonton-area students, a snapshot preview of life in space. He also talked about how his experiences as an engineer and military pilot led him to become Canada’s first commander of the International Space Station. Hadfield, who blasted off from Kazakhstan in December, answered questions for 20 minutes, sometimes letting his microphone float, as he demonstrated various activities. He is expected to return to Earth May 13. Prior to Hadfield’s appearance, Mathiew Landry, senior operations engineer for the Canadian Space Agency, gave an overview of Hadfield’s mission. He noted the commander spends most of his time working on more than 100 science experiments.

Community garden pros outweigh cons Last year a friend of mine, a visionary, with a quick smile and an even quicker mind, suggested we share a garden spot. “It’s part of the community garden. We each get our own little plot and we can grow our own vegetables and it will be fun. You’ll see.” “No,” I said. Treena Mielke “Why?” she quesOn The Other Side tioned. A bigger woman, a stronger woman, and one who stood up for herself at all costs would have looked her friend in the eye and said, “Because I don’t want to, that’s why.” But I did not. I simply kept my eyes downcast at my coffee cup and said, “I dunno.” “We’ll start, Tuesday, after work,” she said. “No,” I said again, but feebler this time. She smiled and graciously said nothing, but we both knew it would happen. Our garden. The day we planted, it was raining so hard we planted our hopes, our dreams and the last bag of seed potatoes we could find at Canadian Tire in pure, unadulterated mud. It was only later we discovered that the mud was actually clay, not capable of growing much more than weeds. It seemed to rain a lot after that. I put my hoe and my rake in my car and the kids climbed over them when they piled into my backseat without asking any questions. As for me, I kept a vision in my head of me stopping by the garden after work, looking all chic and worklike. As I stepped out of my car, which would be barely dirty, I would walk purposefully among the neatly weeded rows, pulling up a few plump, juicy carrots, hacking off some lettuce (I forgot to mention about the knife and bowl which I had thoughtfully thrown in that morning because of the planning 101 course, I just finished) and topping off my bounty with green onions, and juicy red radishes. “I could do with a second crop of radishes,” I would muse to myself as I head home. Later, I toss together a fresh salad. Freshly tossed. Freshly picked. Freshly ready. I sip on a glass of red wine incredibly pleased with my little ole gardening self. Of course, none of that happened. This is what really happened. The soil of the garden was rock hard clay. The beets I planted, however, flourished and, although my kitchen looked like I had murdered someone in it after I was done, the borscht soup I concocted from the fruits of my labour was delicious. The community garden did not produce the amount of vegetables I had hoped for, but it definitely increased my social circle. After watching me with my hoe trying to create something out of nothing, the couple from across the alley graciously invited me over to their place. Their yard was a delightful patchwork of gentle perfection, invaded with beautiful things like flowers and butterflies and some kind of cascading waterfall. They graciously invited me for tea. I brushed my grubby hands on my even grubbier jeans and accepted. And as I sipped tea in a fragile china cup with friends who were strangers only two rows of lettuce ago, I was glad I took part in that community garden. They seemed to like me even though the weeds I chopped and hit and cursed at flourished better than my carrots. During my season as a gardener, I also learned that the best way to get the heavens to open up with great torrents of rain is to even think about going out to the garden to weed. It’s like the universe laughs until it cries. Funny. And so, for me, do the pros outweigh the cons regarding the community garden? Weirdly, they do!

Thatcher’s influence on west starts to weaken Margaret Thatcher began the shift to the right that has affected almost all the countries of the west in the past three decades. She died in London April 8 at the age of 87, 34 years after she became Britain’s first female prime minister. The reign of her ideas in western politics is still not over, despite the crash of 2008 and the long recession that has followed. “This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self-opinionated,” wrote some minion in the personnel department of British chemical giant ICI, rejecting her application for a job as research chemist in 1948. She was fresh out of Oxford University, 23 years old, brimming with self-confidence and absolutely full of opinions. She probably frightened the job interviewer half to death. But she landed a job with a plastics company in Colchester in 1949. She joined the Conservative Party and stood for parliament in the 1950 election (she was the youngest candidate ever). And she finally made it into parliament in the 1959 election. She entered the cabinet of Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath in 1970 as the “statutory female” (as he gallantly put it) — but she replaced Heath after the Conservatives lost the 1974 election. As party leader, she ruthlessly broke the welfarestate consensus that had dominated all the major parties for the previous thirty years. “It is our duty to look after ourselves,” she declared, and the political orthodoxy trembled before her onslaught. That was what carried her into office in the 1979 election, and as prime minister she acted on her convictions. After Thatcher won the Falklands War against long odds in 1982 her popularity was unassailable, and she used it to break the power of the trade unions and privatize state-owned industries. More than that, she made free-market ideology for all in-

tents and purposes the state religion. So it remained for 30 years, long after her harsh and confrontational style had lost her the support of her own party. She was ousted as Conservative Party leader by her own colleagues in 1990 but the Labour governments of 1997-2010 were also in thrall to her ideas. The influence of her ideas abroad, particularly in the United States, was equally great. Yet her greatest contribution to politics, and the foundation of the right’s political success over recent decades, was not ideological but tactical. She was the first politician to grasp the fact with the decline of the old working class, it had become possible to win elections on a platform that simply ignored the poor. There weren’t as many of them as there used to be, and the poorest among them usually didn’t bother to vote. This insight is still a major factor in the calculations of parties both right and left down to the present day: you cannot count on the poor to win an election for you. Her influence lives on — but it may not last much longer. The powerful middle class on which she founded her political strategy has been hollowed out by the very success of the free market policies she promoted. Average middle class incomes in the United States, for example, have not grown at all in the past three decades. The time may be coming when gaining the votes of the poor, including the growing numbers of the “new poor”, will once again be essential to win elections.

The Rimbey Review, April 16, 2013 5

Reader slams Review’s letter writing policies Dear Editor: Since I moved out of the Town of Rimbey about eight years ago I have come to rely much more on the Rimbey Review to keep me informed on local news. I am increasingly disappointed with some of the letters and articles that have been printed in this paper over the last three or four years. With all due respect, I am tired of the name calling, bashing and completely immature, hostile, misleading and some poorly researched “facts” aka hearsay, that has been allowed to be printed in this paper. It may seem contrary on what I am saying by how I am saying it, but really why has this been allowed to go on for so long? Some years ago I wrote a letter to the editor of this paper (not the current editor) about the condition of some terribly kept apartments for rent in Rimbey. I used a sarcastic approach to a serious problem. After reviewing the letter, the editor at the time found it to be overly harsh and direct. I was asked to edit out some details that positively identified one of the landlords involved. I respected the direction the editor was taking and amended the letter without question and in the process I learned a lesson about tact. My letter still made its point without public insult to those directly involved but they knew who they were enough that it created a re-

sponse. I am not arguing the freedom of speech issue, the right to an opinion or the fact that people of wrong doing need to be exposed. In fact, I wholeheartedly support speaking out against wrong doings and for matters of the heart but there are right ways and wrong ways of going about it. The right ways bring about effective change for the betterment of a person, project or community; the wrong ways can have devastating snowball effects, ruin good people, divide communities and leave ghost towns. I feel strongly that this newspaper may have forgotten how influential and critical local newspapers are to their community in print or online; how they can directly hurt or help any given situation; How focusing more on good community news can make such a positive difference and increase positive community involvement on every level. I read a letter a few months back written by a lady who was giving kudos to a gentleman who helped her grandmother during a power outage in town. I thought it was so refreshing to read after all we have been subjected to of late, that I let even her know that. Continued on page 8

Democracy in action

Holding a sign protesting the proposed community garden in West View subdivision, Daphane Hayward stands with her children 11-year-old Cole Greenlees and his sister Dakota. Photo submitted

Dear Editor: I was truly excited to see young 11-year-old Cole Greenlees show up at a public meeting regarding the discussion on the potential location of the Eastview community garden. In some countries children as young as Cole carry AK47 rifles; Cole was carrying a placard with his concerns listed on it. At the meeting of 40 adults, some of who sounded a little cranky (myself included) in expressing their opinions, he patiently waited his turn with his hand in the air. When the chair finally recognized him, he spoke eloquently about his concerns about the project. At the conclusion I thanked him for his participation in the debate, as well as thanked his mother, Daphane, for bringing him. It is interesting in our country where the centre always seems to prevail; there is this ebb and flow between left-leaning political ideas and those leaning to the right. There are also methods chosen by those groups in getting their message out. Public meetings and free open debate are two of them, articles in the paper or on TV and or other media like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are others now being employed. Then there is the rumour mill, innuendo, half-truth

and sometimes outright lies as one group or the other tries to get elected and or get their point across. It’s unfortunate our politics has been deteriorating, and sometimes these groups or individuals use words like bullets — some of those words can be just as effective as bullets in attempting to destroy their opponents. Just look at recent elections in Rimbey and the still smoldering remains of long past elections. A superficial view of these philosophies or governing styles reveals. Left leaning political views: • Tends more toward the socialist, mentality, more government and more services. • NDP and Liberals are typically branded with the left leaning labels Right leaning political views: • Tends more toward the free market, less government, and pay your own way thinking • Conservatives, free market and religious driven ideals dominate the right. Centralist views: • Tries to find a working balance of these views that is supported by the majority, hence a democracy. We need our children to get involved. Please get your children involved in open thoughtful debate, giving them all of the options, not just your slanted view of the left and or the right. Let them know they are the future hope of our democracy. The centre with some government and common sense will ultimately prevail. We need the young adult singles, and those young with families to get involved. I’ve been discouraged recently to not only feel my own hurt but to witness the hurt suffered by past and or current political figures in our community. I have been going out to businesspeople and those younger people with families, to find new potential candidates for the upcoming election. The majority are declining to participate for two main reasons: fear of loss of income and or harm to their business and or family; and or they feel they just don’t have the time, they are too busy. If we are going to survive as a democracy, those attitudes need to change. We need to stand up and be counted without fear of harm and or excuses about how busy we are. If you are interested in forming part of a slate of candidates for the upcoming election that will hopefully offer a renewed common sense approach and some renewed hope and to help to heal Rimbey, contact me. Long live freedom. Long live democracy. Dave Karroll

The Rimbey Review, April 16, 2013 7

Community garden plans cancelled By Treena Mielke Plans to plant a community garden in a green space near East View Crescent will not come to fruition. “It is obvious they don’t want it, but it is too bad the group feels this way,” said East View resident Jim Moore. “There was lots of energy put into this, energy which has been basically wasted. It was a good idea. The park is basically under utilized and it seemed like the ideal space.” Coun. Gayle Rondeel originally planted seeds of optimism with her idea of having the community garden in East View. However, those seeds were angrily crushed by residents, who vehemently opposed the idea at a meeting April 4. At its April 8 meeting, council agreed to seed the area back to grass. “When it’s all said and done, hopefully they will have green grass in a couple of months,” said Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson. In the council package, Rondeel gave a written report of her reasons for wanting a community garden near to East View Crescent. “The town has very few green spaces that are suitable for a community garden. East View Crescent has lots of open area, no trees to block the sunshine, accessibility to water, a great neighborhood and a green space that is used very little,” she said. “It seemed like the ideal location.” With these thoughts in mind, Rondeel proceeded with her plan. She requested public works employees to till a space and had some black soil removed from a borrow pit to put on the garden. She disked it with her own tractor. She received support from FCSS, Parent Link and seniors who said they wanted to garden because

their pensions had been reduced. “Never did I imagine a community garden would be offensive to anyone,” she said. However, Rondeel was hit with hailstones of opposition when residents of East View began a petition to stop the community garden. Dave Karroll accused her of using the town’s money without consulting taxpayers to plan a community garden that would lower property values and have the potential to be an eyesore to the subdivision. He pointed out the present community garden is weedy and unattended. A meeting regarding the commu-

nity garden where residents voiced their displeasure at the idea proved to be the final vicious storm that killed the garden before any seeds were allowed to germinate. Despite the opposition, Coun. Rondeel felt the meeting went well. “I was pleased so many came out to the meeting but was disappointed that community garden will not be at East View Crescent. There seems to be a lot of history between the town and the people of East View Crescent and much of it was brought to light at the meeting. Together we can start to mend relations with the community.”

Bentley students journey to Europe for 12-day tour By Stephen Lush

A group photo of Bentley students and chaperones in group photo in front of the Rome Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre in the world. Photo submitted

Bentley School vice-principal During spring break, 21 high school students and eight chaperones from Bentley School went on an incredible journey to Europe. The 12-day tour included stops in Madrid, Barcelona, Carcassone, Provence, Avignon, French Riviera, Rome, Florence, Pisa and Assisi. Mr. Lush, assistant principal and athletic director of Bentley School, organized the trip through EF Tours. The days were full and busy with tours and activities —not to mention free time for students to shop. We wanted to give our students the opportunity to experience different cultures, people, languages and see other countries they have been studying about. The group left March 21 during a terrible snowstorm and it took 3.5 hours to get to Edmonton International Airport. Once we safely arrived at the airport, it was smooth sailing from there on out. The first stop was Madrid where we had guided tours of the Prado, Puerto del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Orente and visited the Royal Palace. That evening we had an authentic Spanish meal of tapas and tunas. On day 4 we stopped in Zaragoza for lunch as we headed to Barcelona where we toured La Sagrada

The group was also delighted to participate in a biking tour of parts of Barcelona where were ended up biking to the Mediterranean Sea. On day 6 we had lunch and toured Carcassonne, a fortified city within a castle and stayed the night in Provence. We travelled to the French Riviera on day 7and toured Avignon, visited the Palais des Papes, Pont du Gard, and had a walking tour of Nice. Day 8 we travelled to Pisa and visited the Pisa Baptistery, continuing on to Florence, Italy. We toured Florence and visited sites on day 9 such as Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, Chiesa di Santa Croce, Gates of Paradise, and the Duomo. We also saw famous works of art such as the statue David by Michelangelo. On day 10 we travelled to Rome, stopping at Assisi and visiting the Basillica of St. Francis. We later had a guided tour of the Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, Roman Forum, Colosseum, and a walking tour of Rome. Rome was exceptionally busy as it was Easter weekend and everyone was excited to view the new Pope Francis and hear his address on Easter. We were also fortunate to stop and tour Monaco which is the second smallest country in the world (two kiloemtres squared), the smallest being the Vatican City and visited a perfume factory in Eze. This was a very special trip that I feel the students and chaperones will never forget.

Letters too negative Continued from page 5 To others I also said it would be nice to see more of that, that maybe the paper should have an unsung hero column or positive quote column or something that would be uplifting instead of so depressing. This is not the dark ages; we are not Neanderthals but civilized, educated human beings for the most part and there is no time like the present to act like it. Being a part of the solution is better than being a part of the problem. A strong foundation in unity makes a strong community — I think we all know that. I feel that this paper’s job should be to support that concept rather than consistently appearing to have provided a stage for those egos and revenge seekers who love to perform without little thought or respect to consequence, (outside their own personal agendas) or without little thought or respect to the citizens of this community and surrounding areas.

Hooves and Horns

Rider David VanTienHoven is all shook up aboard Tree Shaker, a rank bull leading the way at the annual Hooves and Horns Bullarama, April 6.

Torkelson wins bullarama The bulls may have won most of the battles but at the annual Hooves and Horns Bullarama April 6, it was a cowboy from Westbourne who won the war. Zane Lambert won the overall title with a combined score of 169.5 aboard two bulls. Jessie Torkelson won the short-go with an 87-point ride. Organizer mark Van Tienhoven was once again pleased with the event. “The whole bull riding production and show was top-notch,” he said. There were some pretty good rides but the bulls were unreal. They definitely were feeling good.” Rider Wyatt Gleeson from Sundre was injured and taken away by ambulance after he was stomped by a bull. Van Tienhoven reported Gleeson suffered a lacerated liver and was recovering. About $3,000 will be dispersed to community groups in purchases and donations. “It’s a really good community activity,” Van Tienhoven said.

Tanner Henderson from Sundre looks good riding TJ but it didn’t last the full eight seconds.

Australian Josh Birks didn’t get his wish aboard Bucket List. He was sent down under.

Beef and cattle help foodgrains Beef and cattle animals are once again being put into the ring and auctioned off in support of Canadian Foodgrains Bank. The 12th annual Beef and Dairy Fundraising Sale is April 17 at 1 p.m. at Vold, Jones & Vold in Ponoka. Since its inception in 2001, the annual sale has raised over $825,000 for Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a partnership of 15 churches and church-based organizations working together to end hunger. According to Terence Barg, regional co-ordinator for the Foodgrains Bank in Alberta, cattle will come from as far north as Edmonton and as far south as Olds. “It’s a great way for beef and dairy farmers to get involved with the Foodgrains Bank,” he says, noting that they have seen tremendous generosity and support over the years. Once again, Vold, Jones & Vold has donated their market and commissions.

Animals up for auction are also donated so that all proceeds go directly to help people around the world who are hungry. The group is still accepting donations to the auction including dairy animals, beef animals, and round and square hay. Trucking for donated animals can be arranged before the sale date by contacting one of the organizers (information below). The group is also accepting cash donations. Last year, the auction raised $55,000 for the Foodgrains Bank. In addition to the cattle that went through the ring, people enjoyed bidding on two baby goats — not once, but eight times raising $1,800. A generous donation of 46 tonnes of barley was also donated. Canadian Foodgrains Bank will provide tax receipts for contributions and donations are leveraged through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), which financially supports the Foodgrains Bank. All proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank to provide life and hope to people who are hungry in developing countries. For more information, or to arrange trucking for an animal, please contact Terence Barg 780-621-6767, Andre Visscher 403-8182315, or Larry Henderson 403-782-5218.

By Treena Mielke --Sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but words, they cannot hurt me. Unfortunately, this little saying is not true. Words can hurt. Words can destroy. Words can maim, injure and cause needless suffering. Shelley, a 26-year-old mother of three, learned this hard lesson when she began Grade 7. She learned how cruel and hateful words can be. She also learned, firsthand, what it is like to be the victim of a bully. When Shelley was in elementary school she became friends with a boy classmate. By the time Shelley was in Grade 6, she and her classmate were boyfriend/girlfriend. However, in Grade 7 that all changed. “He began calling me names, harassing me and he convinced his friends to do the same.” Comments like “I hope you die, whore” became commonplace, and Shelley began to dread going to school. The verbal abuse, at one point, became so horrible Shelley even yearned for death. “I thought of suicide or maybe be-

one day in home economics class when the ringleader of the bullies called her a slut. Suddenly, she was no longer the victim but an angry young woman who had finally been pushed too hard. She hit him over the head with her fist. Both students were called down to the principal’s office and Shelley’s parents were notified. “I remember my dad said, ‘If she hit someone, she must have had good reason. She wouldn’t hurt a fly.’” And the vice-principal, when he heard the story, told me to hit him harder next time, she recalled with a chuckle. After the incident, Shelley finally came clean with her parents, explaining to them about the years of bullying she had endured. “My parents were amazing,” she said. During the remainder of her high school years, Shelley encountered bullying periodically, even though the family had moved to another town. She often found herself the brunt of hurtful rumours. The bullying caused her to suffer from bouts of depression but with the help of counseling she was able to learn not to let other people’s opinions bother her. “You don’t have to let another person’s opinion shape who you are,” she said. In the future, Shelley is hoping to help teens become the best they can be. She wants to draw on her own experience with bulling to help others who may be going through similar issues. “I want to find a way to be actively involved,” she said. “I really want to help kids. Right now I’m loving life and I see a million possibilities ahead of me.” Students who are experiencing bullying need to talk to a trusted adult such as their teacher, their parents or the family/school liaison worker. Adults may contact Neighborhood Place at 403-843-4304 or Victim Services at the RCMP office at 403-2224. The ‘Bully Movie’ will be held April 25 at the Rimbey Community Centre at 6:30 p.m. Children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult as the movie contains disturbing material.

Bentley school teacher recognized nationally for exemplary commitment By Treena Mielke Seeing the smile on a student’s face when a concept is grasped or an accomplishment, no matter how small, is finally reached, is reward enough for Bentley teacher Jill Howe. But, despite her desire to remain out of the limelight and devote herself to creating a safe, caring classroom environment, her efforts have not gone unnoticed. On April 5, Howe, a Grade 5/6 teacher at Bentley School, was presented with a National Inclusive Education Award from the Canadian Association for Community Living and the Alberta Association for Community Living in recognition of her exemplary commitment to inclusive education. Howe was nominated for the award by her colleagues as well as the parents and students she works with. Joan Gamme, special education facilitator at Bentley School, said Howe is a master at adapting and modifying her lessons to meet the needs of all students in her room. “Jill includes the severe needs students in her lesson and will have them share with their peers what they have worked on during the lesson. She is very deserving of this award because of her commitment and understanding how children learn.” Lane Moore, Bentley School principal, said Howe makes a difference to all the kids in the school. “And as a dad of a student she works with, Jill has made more than a difference, she has changed my daughter’s life.” Howe said an important part of making inclusive education work is teaching students about acceptance. “I talk to the kids and teach them about accep-

tance.” Howe said seeing all the students share successes far outweighs the challenges of planning and coming up with diverse assignments to challenge all of her students. “I truly love my job and inclusive education is very important to me. I work with a great team that helps my inclusive classroom to be a successful learning environment for students. I really do work at a very special school with a great team of educators.” As she chatted about her work and the importance of a safe and caring environment, where students accept and respect each other, three special needs students waiting to be photographed gave each other an impromptu group hug. It appears Howe’s message has been received, loud and clear.

1.3 per cent of the population so that means in the capital city of Phnom Phen (population about 2.5 million) there are about 30,000. In 1975 before the Khmer Rouge outlawed all religion there were an estimated 10,000 believers, by 1979 there were only 200 left alive. Of the 33 pastors who had served, there were only six remaining. More than 400 churches have been planted in Cambodia since. (Figures courtesy of Church Behind the Wire by Barnabas Mam). Although the city offers some good size assemblies, there are also storefront churches nestled between cellphone stores and neighbourhood taverns. In the provinces, most people congregate in local government buildings or in home churches. Since we were scheduled to meet with them on a Saturday the men were conspicuously absent (either in the fields or at jobs). The villagers greeted us with a choir of children from their Sunday school and youth group and sent us off with hugs and waves. In between they sat hungry for the Word and grateful for our prayers. The religion of their country allows only for resignation among the hardship of life but their Jesus offers hope, He offers “deliverance, not from something but in that something”. Their joy at knowing Him, their boldness at proclaiming Him and their thirst for Him makes me humble and leaves me yearning to be like them. “For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son.... you must clothe yourselves with tender-hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience...but the most important piece of clothing you wear is love.” (Romans 8:29, Colossians 3:12,14) Dianne Kushniryk is a Christian essayist who has been published in the Rimbey Review and the Red Deer Advocate.

The Rimbey Review, April 16, 2013 23

Students charged under the Traffic Safety Act This past week the Rimbey RCMP responded to 44 calls for service, including break and enters, traffic offences and impaired driving instances. Several high school kids were charged under the Traffic Safety Act for offences committed around the schools. A teenaged boy received a violation ticket for doing donuts in the ball diamond parking lot, and a girl was charged after proceeding unsafely after stopping that resulted in a collision with another vehicle. In the final instance, a 17-year-old girl illegally passed a school bus that was stopped and had red lights flashing and stop sign activated. Bluffton resident charged with assaulting spouse In an act of domestic violence, a 51-yearold Bluffton man was charged with assault causing bodily harm after he assaulted his wife over her cleaning habits. He is currently residing in the Red Deer Remand Centre. RCMP investigate break and enter Rimbey RCMP are investigating a break and enter that occurred in Viewmar estates on or about March 27. The suspect broke into a residence and took keepsakes, electronics and liquor. The forensic identification section is currently assisting the Rimbey RCMP in this matter. Thefts investigated Thieves have stolen copper wire from two parked welding trucks around Rimbey. In a separate but likely related case, a $2,600 diesel particulate filter was stolen from a Dodge truck parked on Main Street. The investigation into these incidents is ongoing. Impaired drivers keep RCMP busy During an event at the community centre, officers were kept busy with noise complaints and impaired drivers. A 19-year-old man, a resident of Red Deer, was charged with being in care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired. He provided samples of his breath registering more than twice the legal limit. The accused faces a court date, his vehicle was impounded and his license suspended pending the outcome of the trial. A 23-year-old woman from Bluffton was given a 30-day license suspension as she has a graduated drivers li-

cense and is forbidden from consuming any alcohol before driving. Evidently, the allure of men in Wranglers with big belt buckles buying her drinks was too much. Finally, a 25-year-old man, a resident of Red Deer, was given a 24-hour license suspension for driving while high on illicit drugs. In another incident involving alcohol, three characters got drunk and decided to go torment one of the individual’s exgirlfriends. They did a brake stand in her driveway, throwing rocks in the air, breaking two windows in her vehicle. As a result, a 32-year-old resident of

Bentley, is charged with mischief, impaired driving and refusing a breath demand. In the same incident, when police arrived a 28-year-old man, a passenger in the vehicle and resident of Bluffton, threw a loaded firearm out the window. He is facing mischief and firearms charges. 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.

Farmers hope for profits with record prices Submitted

surance in Alberta. Whether prices remain at near record highs — allowing farmers to cash in once they harvest crops this fall — depends mainly on the weather, says Charlie Pearson, a provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Mother Nature is in control.” Grain prices could drop 10 to 20 per cent Pearson explains today’s high prices were created by last year’s drought in the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, and South America — leaving tight corn and oilseed supplies worldwide. “If the world gets good weather and decent crops, we’ll have larger grain supplies this fall — causing prices to drop 10 to 20 per cent depending on how much grain is harvested,” he predicts. “But if drought conditions continue in these major grain growing regions of the world and supplies tighten further, prices could climb higher.” While he expects grain prices will soften this fall, Pearson says strong demand for meat and cooking oil in China and the U.S. ethanol policy should keep prices “historically high and profitable for most producers.” SPE protects high prices “However, we’ll probably see wild price swings. Historically there’s more market volatility when prices are high,” he explains. “It’s a good year for farmers to consider locking in some of the profitable prices being forecast with a tool like the Spring Price Endorsement (SPE).” The SPE is an optional crop insurance rider that compensates farmers if prices drop 10 to 50 per cent between spring and fall on harvested crops. If grain prices climb higher — by 10 to 50 per cent — a built-in crop insurance feature called the Variable Price Benefit (VPB) inMagical Music from sures farmers at the highAround the World er price if their crop fails, A fundraiser for the adds Hulston.

Near record crop prices are fuelling the possibility of a profitable growing season as Ponoka County farmers prepare for spring seeding. “With canola fluctuating around $14.50 per bushel and barley averaging about $5.30 in March, farmers are hoping the weather co-operates better this year so they can cash in on these high prices with bumper crops,” says Lorelei Hulston, provincial insurance manager for Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), which administers crop insurance in Alberta on behalf of the provincial and federal governments. “Producers would like to avoid the disappointment of last year,” says Hulston. “Prices were high and the growing season looked promising. Then came a series of unexpected weather and disease issues that left many with below average yields and crop insurance claims.” Close to $532 million was paid out through crop insurance across Alberta last year, including Ponoka County. Claims were triggered by several factors including widespread hail, lack of moisture, and heat stress caused by hot July weather. “Many canola fields were hit by an unexpected disease called aster yellows. Diseases like sclerotinia and insects like army cutworms also became a problem,” says Hulston. Mother Nature is in control “It still ended up being a decent year financially for many — thanks to high grain prices — but it was far from what they’d hoped for,” says Hulston. “With crop prices even higher this spring, there’s a lot of value farmers will want to protect this year,” she adds, reminding producers of the upcoming April 30 deadline to apply for crop in-

As the April 30 crop insurance deadline approaches, Lorelei Hulston with AFSC says a wide variety of perils triggered payouts on crop insurance across Alberta last year including hail, wind, plant disease, drought, and heat stress, as shown here on the map. Photo submitted tect against falling prices, but she says the production guarantee crop insurance provides will once again be the key reason farmers insure as much as 14 million acres of Alberta cropland this spring. Weather is always a wild card Dennis Duncan, who grows 2,000 acres of canola, wheat, and barley near Bentley, says weather and disease are his biggest risks this year. “Weather is always the wild card,” says Duncan. “We have good moisture for spring seeding but after that, it’s a crap shoot. And world markets? Who knows?” He explains that’s why he always takes crop insurance with the hail endorsement rider, and might add on the SPE this year. “Crop insurance is a necessity,” says Duncan, noting last year he was expecting his biggest crop year ever but ended up with only average yields due to aster yellows. He adds while hail is usually a major concern, he managed to avoid hail damage last year. All-risk coverage Like Duncan, most farmers enrolled in crop insurance take the highest coverage levels — insuring 70 to 80 per cent of their average crop yield — because it’s impossible to predict what might impact their crops

each year, says Hulston. The majority also take the hail endorsement rider, she says, noting about 60 per cent of crop insurance premiums are subsidized by government. “It’s all-risk coverage that insures everything from drought and hail to frost, flooding, insects, wind, disease, and wildlife.” As producers fill out their crop insurance forms, Hulston reminds them to declare all acres they intend to seed this year — whether they plan to insure them or not — to be eligible for the Unseeded Acreage and Reseeding Benefits if those fields become flooded. Farmers can also Auto-Elect Straight Hail Insurance coverage at a two-per-cent discount if they choose that option with their crop insurance before April 30. And producers wishing to defer claim payments until the next calendar year are urged to notify AFSC as soon as possible, because once claim cheques are issued, payments can no longer be deferred. Producers with questions about crop insurance can contact their local AFSC District Office or the AFSC Call Centre at 1-877-899-AFSC (2372) before the April 30 deadline.

Finding a connection with a cat and daughter Cats & Daughters by Helen Brown c.2012, Kensington $15/$16.95 Canada 304 pages How many kids do you have? It’s a question that often comes up and when you answer it, you’re always careful to add in Terri the furry ones. And why Schlichenmeyer not? Your four-footed kids are a lot like the The Bookworm two-footed ones: they’re messy, sassy, yowling creatures with loud demands, stubborn impatience and extreme insolence — and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Still, two-footed or four-, you can’t wait until your kids grow up. But as you’ll see in the new book Cats & Daughters by Helen Brown, maturity from them doesn’t always mean fewer headaches for you. Helen Brown’s daughter, Lydia, had always been drawn to those less able. When most high-schoolers were partying and playing, Lydia helped care for a handful of elderly folks and developmentally-disabled teens. She drove them around, made sure they were safe, and took them on

interesting outings. Brown was forever astounded at the love and compassion her eldest daughter bestowed on people of all walks. Yes, Lydia made her parents proud but when she embraced Buddhism and announced she was moving to Sri Lanka, Brown was horrified. Years ago, Brown’s oldest son, Sam, was killed in a car accident and with the help of time and an eerily-understanding cat named Cleo, the family eventually healed. Now the comfort named Cleo was gone, Sri Lanka was in the midst of war and Brown couldn’t face the thought of losing another child. But a different kind of danger was lurking at home: just after Lydia left, Brown was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a mastectomy and, thanks to Lydia ’s quick return and quiet care, Brown began to mend again. That was when Jonah stalked into her life. Certain Cleo was a once-in-a-lifetime pet, Brown had firmly insisted she’d never have another cat but, on one of those let’s-just-look outings, she fell in love with a cream-and-chocolate beauty.

With Lydia heading once again to the monastery, Jonah the kitten seemed to be just the thing for a sorrowful house. But Jonah was hyperactive. He was demanding and he required more accoutrements than the average human toddler. And he was incredibly too independent. Just like a certain older daughter… Tired of pet memoirs that wring tears out of you until you’re exhausted? Me, too, so I’m happy to say Cats & Daughters is delightfully different. Author Helen Brown has a wonderful sense of humor and that shows abundantly here, despite that she writes about scary things mixed with the ubiquitous awww-inspiring pet and me stories. I enjoyed her ability to see the irony in any situation and she’s quick to dial up the optimism, which means — at the risk of being a spoiler — readers won’t have to endure a sappy-sad ending filled with tissues. This is one of those books you leave on the table so it’s handy when you want to return to it — which will be often. Whether your kiddies or kitties have two legs or four, Cats & Daughters is a book you’ll pounce on.

Travelling book display on river and ocean ecology available Submitted Library patrons will soon be able to borrow from a selection of 11 new books and two DVDs on topics of river and ocean ecology, with a special focus on fish and insects. Parkland Regional Library has worked with the Central Alberta Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada to develop a new travelling book display, which has begun touring libraries across central Alberta this spring. For the past three years, Parkland and Trout Unlimited have been working together to build a material’s collection of marine creatures and environments to share between the region’s libraries. This year’s donation was $1,500. The 26 titles from last year’s donation are in circulation throughout our regional system and have greatly enhanced PRL’s collection. “Our chapter has received encouraging feedback from the libraries indicating people are concerned about our water resources,” says Doug Pullan, secretary

of Central Alberta’s Trout Unlimited chapter. Education is an important part of Trout Unlimited Canada’s mission and goals and they will continue with further financial contributions in the future. Any Parkland public library can sign up to host the travelling display, and initial interest has been enthusiastic. The collection has something for all ages. Titles include: • Bugwater • A Walk around the Pond: Insects in and over the Water • Northern Pike: Ecology, Conservation, and Management History • Trout: An Illustrated History Albertans are concerned with protecting, restoring, and gaining a better understanding of the environment and creatures of our rivers, oceans, and wetlands.

Proposed new legislation to bolster 911 call centres New legislation will ensure Albertans in an emergency have improved access to 911 services. The proposed Emergency 911 Act, introduced in the Alberta legislature, addresses a number of challenges facing 911 call centres. It will: • Level the playing field by having wireless subscribers contribute to the cost of the service, as those with landlines currently do. • Give government, in collaboration with stakeholders, the ability to create consistent standards, processes and procedures for 911 call taking; • Provide more legal protection for 911 call centre staff; and, • Fine people who make frivolous 911 calls. “We all know 911 is an essential service, but until you need it, it’s easy to take for granted,” said Greg Weadick, associate minister of municipal affairs. “This new legislation will go a long way to making sure Alberta’s 911 call centres have the support they need to continue providing Albertans with effective service today, and tomorrow.” Wireless users will contribute 44 cents a month, the same amount that landline users have paid for years. “911 call centres used to get a portion of their funding from a fee on landlines,” Weadick explained. “But this is

declining as more and more Albertans are opting for cellphones instead of landlines, and many of the current challenges facing call centres directly relate to the millions of cellphone subscriptions in this province. So it only makes sense that cellphone users contribute to the cost of 911 the same as landline users.” 911 operators report that cellphones can account for up to 70 per cent of all calls they receive. There are an estimated 2.7 million cellphone subscriptions in Alberta. “The 911 centres throughout the province will benefit from this legislation. The monetary support from wireless 911 levy will offset the increasing costs associated with providing 911 service, particularly as 911 call volumes have increased dramatically with increase in cellphone users,” said Chris Kearns, manager of the Public Safety Communications Centre with the City of Lethbridge, and chair of the Alberta E911 Advisory Association. “The implementation of standards, processes and procedures, will provide the ability to deliver consistent service levels each and every time someone calls 911.” The Emergency 911 Act will also support Alberta’s 911 call centres as they make plans to integrate next generation technology such as GPS and texting into their operations.

Rally: Anna Van Haastert and Tammy Freitag check over a petition which is to be sent to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta to urge the government to implement policy that will ensure the access to and quality of the services currently provided by community pharmacies and pharmacists in Alberta is preserved. The ladies from Rimbey Pharmasave were taking part in a rally held April 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside Rimbey Pharmasave and Rimbey Value Drug Mart protesting budgetary cuts. Treena Mielke Photo

SEEDING & TILLAGE

By Megan Valstar Rimbey 4H Club In January we helped set up for the Neighborhood Place event. We went and visited the farms and looked at everyone’s animals who are doing well. A few members were able to make it to Bull Congress in Camrose where we were able to learn more about judging. We also cleaned up the Last West Hall and thanks to them for the donation to club. During February we went laser tagging Red Deer, and had a fabulous time with each other, cleaned up after the Women’s conference, went to a Rebels game and had our public speaking. Congratulations to the first and second kids from juniors: Erin Simpson and Jordyn Valstar; intermediate: Evan Buist and Kyle Valstar; and seniors: Erica Trenson and Amy Trenson who moved on to district level. In March we went to the hospital and played bingo with the elderly; we enjoyed seeing how happy they were to have us there with them. Over the past few months our club has had a lot of fun together and we are looking forward to our show and sale coming up in May. We would love to have everybody come out and support us when our show and sale comes around. The annual Highway Cleanup project is scheduled for May 4 — weather permitting. Many community groups including 4-Hers will be out cleaning up local highways.
