Man rescued from Gull Lake after sailboat capsizes By Laura Tester Red Deer Advocate Rescuers saved a Sylvan Lake man after his sailboat capsized and he spent 90 minutes in the chilly waters of Gull Lake May 21. The Bentley Fire Department received an emergency call at about 12:30 p.m. from a bystander who had seen the boat capsize on the southeast side of the lake, near the Summer Village of Gull Lake. The Bentley Fire Department called on the City of Lacombe Fire Department immediately, as well as conservation officers from the campground, so they could bring their boats. Eight volunteer firefighters from Bentley attended, said deputy fire chief Ian McLaren.

“By the time we received the call and got out there, it (the boat) was a good half mile out or more out on the water,” said Ian McLaren. Ed Van Delden, fire chief for the City of Lacombe, said they were called to help out since they have a Zodiac boat. “There was seven of us that went out, but only two of us went out in the boat.” Alberta Parks and the Lacombe fire department launched boats from Aspen Beach Provincial Park. The eyewitness was over at the composting site, so he used his boat as well. All three boats made a concerted effort to track the man down.

“We found the (sail) boat initially and then they did a search pattern from the boat and were able to locate the person in the water,” said McLaren. The bystander’s boat had a platform so it was easier to get the man onto that boat, he added. The 56-year-old man was wearing a life-jacket. He told rescuers he had been in the water for about 90 minutes. The man was rescued about 2 p.m. “After we got him in, we started warming him up,” said McLaren. “He was fairly hypothermic by the time we got to him.” The lake temperature was 15.5 degrees C, warmer than normal for this time of year, said McLaren. An ambulance Developer Al Ingles said he was going to vote transferred the man Bentley and Lacombe firefighters and Alberta No in the plebiscite, suggesting the library board to Red Deer Regional Parks staff work to pull aboard a sailor whose could obtain an easement and expand back to the Hospital Centre. boat capsized on Gull Lake. lane behind the building. Dave Karroll wanted to know why the library couldn’t move to the Co-op. “You need to take a serious look at the Co-op,” he said. “Your negotiations never made it to the board.” Betty Adam wanted to know why the library held such events as wine tasting and mother-daughter teas, noting the manor was better suited for such events. “Build a new building,” said resident Daryl Hunt. “In the long run it’s cheaper than renovating an old building. In the long run it will pay you dividends.” Moving into the Al Ingles building, using two locations; one for books and one for programs, and building a second storey onto the town office were other solutions brought up by the audience. Annette Boorman was the only resident in atFirefighters and EMS staff wrap the rescued sailor in a blanket and tendance who said she planned to vote Yes June 3. “I commend the library board for all the work prepare him for transfer.

No voters dominate meeting By Treena Mielke Rimbey library board members faced a deluge of verbal bullets as they sat before a crowd armed with what appeared to be more answers than questions about the controversial town office move and library expansion. The information meeting, held May 22 at the Rimbey Community Centre, was held to provide the public with the facts about the necessity of a library expansion and the consequential move of the town office to the provincial building. However, despite Coun. Paul Payson’s assurance taxes will not go up as a result of town offices moving to the Provincial Building and librarian Jean Keetch’s intention to see programs cut if the expansion does not take place, the hundred or so people who filled the community centre were mostly naysayers. “The library is fine, leave it alone,” said longtime resident Adrian Resta. “There is no reason to see the town office moved anywhere,” said Ray Durand, adding he wasn’t against the library expanding but believed there had to be a better solution than moving the town offices.

The Rimbey Review, May 28, 2013 3

Library chair urges support for expansion and town hall relocation By Treena Mielke A library expansion is sorely needed, the crowd attending a public meeting held at the Rimbey Community Centre last week was told. In her opening remarks, library board chairman Rowena Aitken explained why the library needed to expand. “When we moved into our current space 10 years ago, we only gained 300 square feet and no separate room for meetings or programs, and we are much busier now.” She said Rimbey Municipal Library is one of the busiest libraries for its size in Alberta, offering more than 393 programs with approximately 6,255 people attending them. “Library staff and volunteers made these programs work as best they could, however, it is clear that we simply don’t have enough space,” she said. “Our proposed move into the other half of the municipal building is not only the most cost and time effective solution but will better accommodate our increasing library usage for a long time to come.” Librarian Jean Keetch said safety is also an issue. “It is not safe for staff or patrons.” “There are cords running everywhere and it’s only a matter of time and somebody is going to trip and fall and we’re liable for this safety,” added Aitken. The library offers a variety of programs and events including Mother’s Day teas and wine tasting — opening itself up to some criticism. However, board members believe these programs fall under the umbrella of literacy and allow patrons to participate in lifelong learning experiences in an enjoyable and pleasant environment. Keetch said expanding to the rear of the town office is not a viable option. “If you go straight back there isn’t enough space without putting a second story on. If you go back and to the east you have an L-shaped addition which gives you a large space, which has a no line of sight, which is contrary to library best practices. And both of those options take up valuable parking space.” She said building another storey onto the town office is an expensive undertaking. “It would work, but if people are concerned about the cost to taxpayers that is the more expensive option and would necessitate the installation of an elevator.” Space at the Co-op has been ruled out because the rent would be $60,000 a year, the library would be allowed no windows and the cost of moving the Supernet would run about $42,321. “There is also no room for growth,” said Keetch. Moving to Al Ingle s’s building on the south side of Main Street is not a viable option as the 4,000 squarefoot building is too small. Paul Payson, the council representative on the library board, said the proposed move to the Provincial Building, and the expansion of the library into the town offices is a low cost alternative to the space crunch. “There is no a tax increase for this move. The moving and renovation costs (approximately $50,000) is already budgeted for and the rent is zero. The utility costs ($2,700 a month) are fairly equivalent to what we pay now.” “The town office is not the centre of a small town’s world, the library kind of is,” he said, noting statistics show there were 37,000 visits to the library in 2012 compared to around 7,000 stops at the town office. He said the upcoming plebiscite is not about allowing the library to expand but rather asking the taxpayers if they want it to expand into the town offices. “We are not voting on the library expansion. We are voting on allowing the library to expand into the municipal building. The voters cannot keep the library from expanding.”

Adrian Resta believes the library should remain status quo.

OPINION

Politics is blood sport The only certain things in life are death and taxes. Who said that, anyway? I don’t believe it. There is, for sure, one other certainty. You can do your best. Give 110 per cent. Try really hard. Try harder. Treena Mielke And there will always On The Other Side be someone out there who can do your job better than you. Just ask them. Take print media. The world is full of wannabe reporters who flip through the paper in disgust. If only they had chosen journalism as a career, surely they could find more news, better stories and spot news photos that tell a thousand words. Of course they don’t want hard news. It makes them squirm. They want fluff; stuff about new babies and Aunt Hilda’s award winning roses and Uncle John’s potato that looks like it has two heads. And then there’s the other side. The hard news junkies. They couldn’t care less about award winning roses and potatoes with two heads. They want the real stories. And lots of them. They don’t want to read between the lines. They want facts, figures and sensationalism. They are the realists of this world, not governed by emotional jargon and feelings. Of course, because they are realists, they want the truth and only the truth printed, and do not accept the possibility that everyone’s truth is different. Politics? Another easy job. Everyone should try it. We all know lots of people who are not politicans who can do the job better than those who are. Politics is a blood sport. You don’t find people coming out in droves to sign up for political games but you sure find a lot of spectators who want to watch from the sidelines. And those spectators truly believe they could do a much better job of running any level of government; municipal, provincial or federal, than the people who are in power now. Just ask them. The only catch is they don’t really want to play outside the spectator arena. It’s too dangerous. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing but often, the people who believe they should be running our governments don’t even have that. They have rumours and innuendoes. They have second- and third-hand information. They have sentences that start with, “He said,” or even, “He said that he said.” Coupled with this infiltration of watered down information, they have an insatiable thirst to not only be right, but to gleefully prove the people they elected are wrong. For some sad, unexplainable reason, this makes them feel good. In fact, it makes them feel better than good. It makes them feel powerful. It is truer than true that politicians can be wrong. Very wrong. They are, after all, human, and subject to errors and judgment calls they may live to regret. But, should not credit be given where credit is due? They took the job, and, for the most part, they do it to the best of their ability. It is true, their truth may not be your truth, but that is not their responsibility. Every taxpayer has the democratic right to research, to ask questions, and to cross-examine all parties involved before making their own personal decision on any issue. Doing so, will only serve to increase their own knowledge base, giving them the best chance to make informed and wise decisions at a personal level. One of these decisions may be to run for politics themselves. But be forewarned. It’s a sport. A blood sport. So be prepared!

The Rimbey Review, May 28, 2013 5

Reader urges public to vote No Dear Editor: Over the past few months there has been a lot of controversy regarding the proposal to sell the municipal building to the library for $1 and moving staff and office to the government building at a cost of approximately $3,000 per month. Due to this, a petition was circulated around town asking for a referendum to be held or to delay the sale until the next municipal election to allow the voters to decide the issue. In a short period of time a petition with 437 names were presented to council but due to minor technicalities council decided the petition invalid. Now after five months of haggling they have made the decision to go ahead with the referendum on June 3 even though earlier they had classified it invalid due to wording of the questions.

Now they have bypassed the original question completely and have come up with a two-tiered question along with a preamble that does not fully explain the full cost of the move they hope to make. This confusing question has appeared in the Review in the past three weeks. Was it done this way purposely? A quote from the preamble in the Town of Rimbey ad in the Rimbey Review states, “apart from one time capital cost to improve the provincial building, this solution will not result in increased operating expenses to the town.” The cost of moving has not been mentioned nor has the monthly rent. Are these not increased costs to the town? I suggest that on June 3, as a taxpayer you take a very close look at the question before you perform your democratic duty and if you don’t want to see your town Dear Editor: office moved or see your Attention, taxpayers of Rimbey If you want a 40-year-old town office to stay in taxes escalate you have the centre of your town then vote No on June 3 to but one choice and that is to vote No. the library moving into your town office.

Town office/library referendum - why you should vote No Dear Editor: We support the library. Every citizen of Rimbey and Ponoka County supports the library — just not this version of a library. Those on the Yes side would have you believe that those who vote against this expansion are against libraries. Ridiculous. Vote No. Why has town council made it non-binding? We are now going to pay $5,000 to $6,000 to run a referendum they don’t have to honor. They already had the results of the unofficial referendum that were published in the Rimbey Review a few weeks ago, given to them for free; 89 per cent voted to keep the town office where it is. This decision could have waited until the fall municipal election and got the answer for free. What is the rush? Do Rimbey taxpayers want to sell the town office worth more than $650,000 to the Rimbey Municipal Library Board for $1? Vote No. Do Rimbey taxpayers want the town office moved to the Provincial Building where we will have to throw away $36,000 a year on rent? Why did administration and council not tell taxpayers about the actual cost of this move? Besides the $36,000 to be paid annually for rent added to costs of the move likely

underestimated at $145,000, taxpayers need to keep in mind that the $36,000 at the existing library town office site would need to add to the library operational budget to pay for the full operational cost of the new town library. That’s right, between the two operations the cost is $72,000 a year and you the taxpayer will get to pay. Vote No. Why was the library’s position sent out in Rimbey utility bills? Who authorized it? The library pamphlet for the Yes side was also copied at no cost at the town office; 1,600 pamphlets printed both sides in color, a $350 value. You paid for it. It costs more than $5,000 to do a mailing to town mailboxes with postage and stationery. The mayor refused to send out the No side in the tax notice, as he did for the Yes side. Vote No. Political interference in a referendum, by favouring one side with taxpayer’s money, isn’t that illegal? The library pamphlet just says vote Yes for the library, gives some vague numbers and costs, and indicates the library board will proceed to renovate the town office side only as they obtain the funds. The pamphlet stated they need $500,000 or is it $5,000 as the librarian told Rimbey Review reporter Treena

The Rimbey Municipal Library Needs More Space • The Rimbey Library requires additional space; not only for programs but for patrons, books, staff and safety. • The Town of Rimbey Library Board along with the Rimbey Town Council have examined several options. • The option of the library expanding into the current municipal building was deemed to be the most cost effective for the library board and have the least impact on the town budget. • Only one other building in town meets both the space and foundation requirements. The cost of relocating there is far more expensive. That available space allows for no growth. • The cost of adding on to the existing building is also cost prohibitive; as is building a new stand alone building. • Vote yes to ensure the continued programming and services that you’ve come to love.

I spoke to a Co-op board member who indicated they would look at an offer of $50,000. The Co-op includes utilities, which Keetch needs to budget $36,000 for at the town office, so rent would only be $14,000 a year. And the Co-op pays taxes. There’s good parking and everyone in the community goes to the Co-op at least once a week and would pass right by the library door. It was suggested to purchase a building for the library and have it paid for in 10 years or less by the amount of money that council will be throwing away on rent.

Mielke in the May 5 newspaper article. Vote No. Why did a leading county Ponoka County councillor call Rimbey’s decision on this town office/library issue stupid. Read this document carefully and you will understand. More than 65 per cent of library users are from the county. Why won’t the managing director of library services and the library board present an independent review of the numbers and an official business plan? The library’s latest statistics for 2012 are absolutely incredulous. The numbers claim 37,674 visitors, the library is only open approximately 1,600 hours, allowing for stats and summer reduced hours, that would work out to almost 22 people per hour every hour they are open or 154 people per day. So on days where they only have 40 to 50 visitors, other days the library would need to host 230 to 240 visitors — absolutely ridiculous. Library programs listed on the library website show a maximum of 30 for most events. The pamphlet circulated lists 393 different programs with 6,255 visitors. Who are these people? Rimbey has only 2,400 people, more than half of which probably don’t use the library. Three hundred and ninety-three programs offered, how misleading is that? The pamphlet shows only 10 main programs. Checking with Bentley, Forestburg, Killam and Sundre libraries, most have at the maximum four or five programs per month, with up to nine events a month — that would be 108 events in a year, not like Rimbey’s 393. Incredible. Taxpayers pay the library’s operational costs. Vote No. The 2012 Rimbey library official calendar shows, 10 programs identifying 142 events, 75 per cent of

Public needs to hear objective facts regarding library expansion Dear Editor: I have the following comments regarding the current administration and political leadership of our community as regarding the June 3 vote: • The administration and town council has a duty to objectively present both sides of the issue being put to a vote on June 3. • Whoever allowed the library pamphlet to be distributed at taxpayers’ expense in conjunction with our most recent utility billing should not have done so. The same opportunity should have been granted to the party representing the many ratepayers in this community who have valid reasons to object to the relo-

cation of town office — not necessarily the expansion of the library. • The public information session scheduled for May 27 is again a “biased” format as it is being held to explain the “library expansion” point of view only. • The wording of the preamble and question to be put to ratepayers on June 3 as published in the Rimbey Review is grossly inadequate, contains inaccuracy’s regarding financial components and does not address the real issue. Disposition of a municipal asset costing the taxpayer in excess of $650,000 for $1 and incurring ongoing annual lease costs of $30,000. • It doesn’t matter how you cut it the re-

location of town office will cost ratepayers more each and every year in perpetuity. That’s without moving costs, leasehold improvements, sidewalk construction and additional funding to the library to afford the utility and other costs in their expanded premises. • I know there were town policies in place that dealt with the procedures that should be followed when contemplating the disposition of capital assets. Are these policies still in effect and have they been followed? • Capital revenues and expenditures as well as operating revenues and expenditures are required to be in-

cluded in annual budget that is passed by council and submitted to Alberta Municipal Affairs. The details of the 2013 budget, which should have been passed by now, are not available to the public at town office nor posted to town website. I am extremely disappointed with present circumstances and lack of leadership, due diligence and common sense of those we elected in good faith. Rhonda Rae Tarney (Stewart), former Town of Rimbey auditor 1990-2000, and town councillor 2004 to 2007

MLA brought to task regarding conduct Dear Editor: The following is an excerpt from an article in the May 17, Calgary Herald. Annoyed that he wasn’t on the list for government emails about the Nordegg fire, the first-term opposition MLA wrote, among many other things: “I’ve crawled 200 yards on my belly through human excrement with a marine buddy on each side of me, with fire so close it parted the hairs on my ass.”

Vote Yes to keep library Dear Editor: After attending the public meeting regarding the library issue, one thing seemed clear. If the young families of this town want to continue to have one of the best library services in central Alberta, they had better vote Yes May 3. Otherwise they will be overruled by the paleolithic thinking and sour grapes mentality that predominated at the meeting. Michael Boorman

Winding up, the MLA from Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre started sounding like a Jack Reacher novel. “I’ve stared down the barrel of a .45 wondering if it was my time and I have pointed a .38 at the temple of an armed mentally disturbed individual wondering if it was his.” And then: “I have boarded a sinking seiner in the black of night on the north Pacific, to pull a captain to safety during a January ice storm.” The only thing missing was the girl lashed to the mast, bosom heaving, her shirt torn just so. What does all this have to do with the Nordegg wildfire? What is troubling is the lack of real discipline shown by the elected official of this riding; the same discipline his marine training should have given him. Instead he elected to demonstrate conduct unbecoming of the office of MLA. How does he feel this will garner respect? He has now made himself the laughing stock of the legislature. How does he now expect to be taken seriously? Jim Vetsch

Bentley Museum receives notable provincial funding By June Norvila It was much welcomed news for the Bentley Museum. On May 17, on his way back to Edmonton from another meeting, David Dorward, MLA for Edmonton-Gold Bar, met museum chairperson Ralph Scarlett and dropped off a provincial Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) cheque of just over $17,300. The museum had applied for the grant back in September. It was especially significant as this is the last time for this grant. The program has been phased out.

Scarlett gave Dorward a short impromptu tour that impressed Dorward seemed impressed. He relived some of his childhood memories and was surprised no admission is ever charged at the rural museum. He was fascinated to find an actual “strap” on the teacher’s old school desk and took special note of the area of the old general store in the museum’s agriculture building. He also mentioned that this area has a really good bunch of volunteers — a hard working bunch of volunteers. On his way back to Edmonton

from a Stettler meeting, Dorward had made time for a quick tour in central Alberta delivering and presenting cheques. He stopped at Sundre, Eckville, Bentley and Rimbey. After applying in 2009, the museum received $45,000 in CFEP funding from lottery funds in 2010 to help with the actual construction of the memorial building. Construction took place in 2011. The latest funding is to help finish off the display area inside with formal display cases and dividers the museum does not have. “It will go a long ways towards helping (with funds) until we have a casino in 2015,” said Scarlett. Funding is hard to secure for smaller rural facilities as there is just not the area/companies to call on.

Historical society aims to sell more books By June Norvila

and by manning a casino, the cost to the end buyer was kept affordable and that was what they were striving to do — to put the books in the hands of as many as possible. Besides being at the Bentley Farmers’ Market on Saturday afternoons from 1:30 to 4 p.m., the books can be purchased from any of the society members and they are available at the museum during their regular summer hours of Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., or at the Bentley town office during regular business hours. So far about 555 of the 1,750 printed sets of the newest book Bentley - A Gateway Through Time have

been sold. It is a two-volume set of 1,296 pages including approximately one million words, with 2,246 photos and 20 maps. More than 100 of the older Bentley and District Early History reprinted 1982 version have also been sold. There is a special price if the old and the new are purchased together. Society members will continue to meet as needed but have their eyes and ears open for histories for a future volume, and are now a wealth of information in their own right. Members are pleased with the positive reaction and favorable remarks from the public who have been congratulating society members on the superlative job they did recording and documenting local history.

The Bentley and District Historical Society 2005 held their annual general meeting on May 15at the Bentley Museum. Reports and an audited financial statement were accepted. Even though the seven-year long project of getting updated Bentley history books printed is over, the group carries on, albeit at a more leisurely pace. Some members said they suffered from withdrawal when the hectic pace slowed and they missed all the constant contact with other members, talking with people, editing, and visiting sites. The group will continue to collect local histories, but their aim is now to get those new JUNE history books sold and CALENDAR being enjoyed and appreciated, With the plan to have a table at each Saturday Bentley Farmers’ Market with books on display for sale, the group of volunteers is SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY divvying up the week1 ends and taking turns.

the investigation. The investigation is continuing into this matter as all leads are being pursued. Drunk ATV driver charged During the May long weekend, police were out enforcing rules and regulations in the Medicine Lake area while patrolling on ATVs. Tickets were issued for offences such as having no insurance or registration on off highway vehicles. In several incidents, motorists were found to have been consuming alcohol. Several drunk drivers were arrested and charged. In one case, an impaired driver, Kieran Johnson, 25, a resident of Leduc, was driving his ATV in a dangerous manner and ran over a pedestrian causing life-threatening injuries. STARS attended the scene and transported the male victim to an Edmonton hospital for treatment. The accused in this case, was already suspended from driving due to previous impaired driving convictions. Honesty is the best policy… Police conducted a Check Stop on Highway 53 at the junction of Secondary Highway 766 on May 17. Numerous tickets were issued for various offences such as open liquor, no insurance, no driver’s license and other provincial infractions. In one case, the inquiring officer asked the standard question, “Sir, have you had anything to drink tonight?” The man behind the wheel of his pickup truck replied, “Had no, having yes!” The

man then handed over the open bottle of beer he had hidden in the console. A local tow company was kept hopping with five vehicles seized during the Check Stop. Buckle up In town, officers stood out in plain view at the four-way stop during the middle of the afternoon. One vehicle completely ran through the intersection without slowing down at all. Countless people were charged for not wearing their seat belts. One motorist was charged after being found to have been consuming illegal drugs while driving. Out of town criminals on a spree Police have been diligently pursuing leads on recent theft complaints in Rimbey. It is believed the suspects are from other jurisdictions and strictly came to Rimbey to commit their crimes. Police are working with other detachments and police agencies, using all possible resources to capture these criminals and to send a message they are not welcome in our community.

Students contribute to Creative Connections wall at Rimbey hospital By Treena Mielke Delightful artwork created by elementary students has made the walls a little brighter at Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre. The Creative Connections walls featuring the artwork of grades 5 and 6 students at Rimbey Christian School was made possible through financial support from Encana. A ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize the artwork and support of Encana was held at the hospital May 22. Laine Dahms, co-ordinator of volunteer resources for Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre, said displaying a Creative Connections wall featuring artwork from local schools and artists is a project that began at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. The project was well received by patients and visitors alike. Dahms is pleased Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre has been able to create a similar project, noting Encana’s donation made the project possible. Encana has also given financial support to hospitals in Bentley, Rocky

Mountain House, Stettler, Drumheller, Lacombe and Ponoka for the project. “Through these art displays, it is our intention to create a positive health experience that reaches out to every patient and enhances their healing process. We hope that these works of art will bring smiles, joy and moments of comfort to our patients, families, visitors and staff.” During the ceremony, Dahms complimented the students on their artwork and asked each of the nine students who took part in the Creative Connections project to chat about their drawing, each of which depicted some form of volunteering. “It is beautiful work,” she said. “And it can be changed to show different drawings,” she added. Don Letwinetz, community relations advisor for Encana, said the project gave Encana an opportunity to support young local artists and give them a chance to portray their work. “Where education and young people are involved, it’s always very rewarding.”

Rimbey Christian School grades 5 and 6 students stand in front of artwork they created which has been placed at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre.The Creative Connections walls at the hospital was made possible through financial support from Encana. A ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize the artwork and support of Encana was held at the hospital May 22. Treena Mielke Photo

Years ago Eva Bruhn and Adeline Nesbitt were the best of friends, sharing birthday cake and laughter, and chatting easily about everything and anything, the way women do. Today the ladies are still the best of friends, though the communication between them is only slightly verbal and the deep affection they share simply an unspoken bond, which need not be conveyed in words. Nesbitt has multiple sclerosis, a disease that has almost robbed her of her ability to speak, confined her to a wheelchair and even caused her difficulty in swallowing. She has been a patient of the long-term care centre in Rimbey for several years. However, although the disease has taken so much from the fragile woman, whose snow white hair can barely be seen over the top of her wheelchair, it has not taken away one precious commodity — her friend. And every day, regardless of the weather, and in spite of arthritic joints, Bruhn, who will be 91 in November, makes her solitary sojourn to feed her friend lunch. In a soft voice tinged with a slight accent carried over from her native Denmark, Bruhn brushes off any personal accolades. “We are old friends and Adeline is a wonderful person. She is always in a good mood; always has a smile. I admire her so much,” she said earnestly. Coincidentally, Bruhn moved to Rimbey from Parkland Beach the same year Nesbitt was admitted to long-term care. “I told Adeline I would help her when I moved to Rimbey,” she said. Sitting next to her friend, encouraging her to eat and drink and tucking a blanket more securely around her, Bruhn searches for the right words to convey she gets as much as she receives from her daily mission. “It’s a two-way street,” she said. “This way I have something to do and I get out every day.” “I have a wonderful friend,” Nesbitt said, her voice barely audible, but her eyes bright and alert. “I told her she could fire me if she wanted to,” Bruhn said with a chuckle. “She hasn’t yet.”

Caregivers need to remember to care for themselves, too By Treena Mielke

stand MS is an unpredictable disease, and they need to learn how to roll with the punches, and always to be prepared for the unpredictable. And, most importantly, they need to learn how to stay mentally, emotionally and physically healthy, otherwise they too run the risk of becoming ill. Acquiring knowledge about MS is helpful and resources are available. To obtain additional information about caregiving and learn what services are available locally, contact the Central Alberta Chapter MS Society at 403-346-0290 or visit www.mssociety. ca for a list of MS Society of Canada publications. The Canadian Home Care Association (CHCA) is a national not-forprofit association dedicated to ensuring

When someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, it causes a ripple effect in the family, like a pebble tossed in an otherwise still and serene pond. “Our clients are not only people living with MS, but their families, paid health care workers, their spouses — everyone affected,” said Terri Blanchard, client services co-ordinator for the Central Alberta Chapter MS Society. She said caregiving can be physically and emotionally exhausting, especially for the person who is the primary caregiver. A Guide for Caregivers from the MS Society of Canada states it is easy for caregivers to feel invisible as everyone’s attention goes to the person with MS.

Reitz receives provincial award By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Only 10 recipients have been awarded the 2013 Crime Prevention Award this year and Rimbey is on the map for one. Beth Reitz, executive director of Rimbey Big Brothers Big Sisters, was awarded the Alberta Justice and Solicitor General Crime Prevention Award. Reitz received the call recently from the Solicitor General’s Office saying she was nominated and won the award. She thought the call was a joke at first. “I had no idea.” She had to get the caller to repeat the announcement before she would believe them. But for Reitz the real praise goes to everything BBBS offers. “I don’t want it to be about me, I want it to be about the programs that we started.” The Youth Justice Committee helps first time young offenders. The program offers an alternative method to restitution with a crime committed. She sees it as a second chance for young offenders to turn their lives around. “It’s much better than a slap on the wrist or a fine; it has a life lesson to it.” Reitz finds the Youth Drug Impact Project (YDIP) in Ponoka, which was originally started in Calgary has helped her realize the issues youths are facing. “It’s been an eye-opener for us to understand how addicted to drugs kids are,” said Reitz. Co-ordinators for the drug program will be bringing it to the schools in September. The biggest challenge she sees with drug issues is creating awareness. Marijuana, cocaine and crystal meth appear to be what youths will abuse and the results of that use can lead to troubles at home, school and with friends. Despite these challenges, Reitz also sees positive experiences from the centre’s programs and she feels her duty is to help kids. “I love challenges…Seeing a young man turn

“During my 28 years of service with the RCMP at nine different communities across Canada, I have met very few individuals who have made an extraordinary contribution towards addressing and preventing youth crime within a community such as what Ms.Reitz has done.” Ponoka RCMP Staff Sgt. Cameron Chisholm away from it or express a desire to leave it behind,” said Reitz. Her biggest wish from receiving the award is to see a greater awareness for the Youth Centre and the programs they offer. “All of our teen programs here are life and skill-based.” Ponoka RCMP Staff Sgt. Cameron Chisholm headed Reitz’s nomination. In his letter to the solicitor general, Chisholm states the Youth Centre is one of the only places in youths can entertain themselves. “During my 28 years of service with the RCMP at nine different communities across Canada, I have met very few individuals who have made an extraordinary contribution towards addressing and preventing youth crime within a community such as what Ms.Reitz has done,” Chisholm added. He credits her initiative with the YDIP for helping the RCMP deal with a gap in crime prevention programs in the community. Because of involvement from police with the YDIP, officers have been able to get a better understanding of the issues with youth drug activity. Chisholm accepted the award on behalf of Reitz, who was away, during the May 10 ceremony in Edmonton.

COMMUNITY

WCPS looks at budget implications and initiatives By Amelia Naismith A budget surplus of more than $200,000 is enabling Wolf Creek Public School (WCPS) board to move forward with a number of initiatives. However, due to fiscal constraints and a lack of what trustees call “hard data,” not every initiative presented was given support or even discussed. Visitor monitoring One option not given any money was a visitor monitoring equipment pilot presented by Mark McWhinnie, assistant superintendent of technology services. McWhinnie proposed the pilot option in response to ongoing concerns over who’s entering school buildings. The pilot would allow regular visitors to the schools to scan an ID card on a flat system similar to an IPad. Non-regular visitors would have to type in a number of security questions to receive a temporary ID. “It’s simply a proactive response to a number of societal things happening in our society,” said McWhinnie. McWhinnie told the trustees the

pilot was coming to the board at a reduced cost and they should think about acting early, before the system became mandated and prices increased. Trustee Bon Huff feels visitor and student monitoring is important but options focused on student achievement are a higher priority. “If we have some extra money how are we going to get the best bang for our buck. Maybe we need added security in our schools but at what expense?” “We’re called public schools for a reason because our public should be welcome,” said trustee Lorrie Jess. However, Jess feels the situation is delicate due to incidences such as Sandy Hook or the threats made against Ponoka’s high school last December; parents want to know their children are safe at school. “This will not be a priority before the financial picture turns around,” said secretary-treasurer Joe Henderson. Pre-K programs No money was given in the name of Pre-K programs either. Wolf Creek school division has 18

schools providing kindergarten programs, five running a play school under the division’s umbrella but only one true Pre-K program. A Pre-K program is classified as every student involved is registered and also a program funded unit (PUF) student. PUF students are those with extreme disabilities. “The little Pre-K people are in need of some help,” said Huff. He illustrated his point saying many PUF students are delayed in learning and simple concepts such as using scissors cannot be grasped without support. Without Pre-K support kindergarten becomes more difficult for them to navigate, leading to frustrations and escalating to behavioral and other problems. Trustee Barb Walker says Pre-K is a good preventative initiative rather than having teachers and other resources straining to support students in higher grades for issues that could have been targeted years before. Amber Hester, assistant superintendent of student services, told the board there are approximately 85 PUF students division-wide. The trustees decided not to look into funding until the fall when more data for the upcoming year is available. 21st Century Learning The 21st Centaury Learning (U21C) project was given another $50,000 out of next year’s budget.

“It would be used to continue to support every school,” said McWhinnie. In the upcoming year every school across the division is going to have technology coaches. Huff says this is a necessary expenditure since schools are becoming more digital and the ministry is pushing to have exams administered online. “If we’re going to set out students up for success we need to introduce them to the digital products out there.” Video conferencing Another technology-based initiative the board funded at $30,000 was video conferencing in the classroom. Eight years ago WCPS received a provincial grant to include video conferencing in high school programs. “We were very successful with that,” said McWhinnie. However, over the eight years the program has continually been subsidized, with an average shortfall of approximately $30,000 per year. Both McWhinnie and Gerry Varty, assistant superintendent of learning support and system improvement, want learning support rather than technology services to maintain the program. To assure the board the funding and program are creating results, the trustees were told that math 30 level courses were producing higher grades through video conferencing than through traditional learning.

International hands link to end sex trafficking and abuse “He has sent me to comfort the broken-hearted and to announce that the captives will be unchained and the prisoners will be set free...To all who mourn He will give you beauty for ashes, joy instead of sorrow, praise instead of despair.” Isaiah 61: 1, 3 Part 8 of series By Dianne Kushniryk In Cambodia the sex trade industry is big business with a generated income of $500 million a year and it is not a respecter of age as 35 per cent of all sex trade workers are under the age of 16 (statistics courtesy of the United nations). Adolescent girls and boys are lured with promises of good conventional jobs or find themselves locked into the life by the need to provide financial support for a family; children, some as young as seven years old, are kidnapped or bought from badly informed and destitute families and forced into a life of

child sex tourism, trafficking and abuse. However in the heart of the brothel district a beacon shines, in an unassuming office, regional and international hands are linked and in an unpretentious side street beauty is being given for ashes. Our stopover in Phnom Penh included a visit to some of the nongovernment organizations (NGO) that deal with the exploitation and enslavement of those caught up in the sex trade industry. Although each of these organizations has a different approach to the crisis their end goal is the same — “Christians working together to end sexual trafficking and abuse.” Daughters of Cambodia is a NGO that takes girls who want to live free from a life of oppression and abuse and gives them a way out. They offer salaried jobs, free day care, medical services, therapy and counselling. The girls are offered a job with an immediate salary either in the sewing room that produces quality items

for sale in the Daughters’ store and to overseas buyers; in one of the two food establishments that Daughters operates; or in the women’s spa housed at the visitor’s center. Daughters also offers employment in a jewelry making venture using local resources or in a silk screen print business that is now open to the male victims (Sons of Cambodia) of this malevolent trade. (www. daughtersofcambodia.org ). Chab Dai is a registered international NGO that works with other global and South Asian organizations that work within Cambodia to increase awareness of, develop programs aimed at preventing and offer legal and social service support to victims of sex trafficking. Chab Dai workers go into the dangerous sex trafficking arena to work against the sex traffickers by “equipping and empowering” community leaders in the fight against those trafficking in children, assisting in the location, rescue and return of victims and in the capture and prosecution of offenders. (www.chabdai.org ). The final NGO we dropped in on was Bloom Creations, whose business card tells the story: “Bloom Cakes: to beautiful to eat... too delicious to resist...” At this picturesque “cake art gallery, cafe and non-profit organisation Cambodian women are empowered thanks

to vocational training and employment” and allowed to design and create some of the most beautiful edible art work I have ever seen. (www.bloomcreations.org ). “I felt I had no worth or value, and my life was cheap. I cannot describe the pain” — former sex trade worker forced into the life at 14. But there is hope among what is illegal, iniquitous and intolerable. There is possibility among desolation and isolation. There is realization of dreams as these wounded are “equipped with external and internal resources to make sustainable changes to and become responsible for their own lives.” God is already at work keeping His promises. Dianne Kushniryk is a Christian essayist who has been published in the Rimbey Review and the Red Deer Advocate. She now writes almost exclusively for her church Rimbey New Life Fellowship.

SHORTT Beatrice Anne ( Freeman )

March 19, 1941 - May 4, 2013

Beatrice Anne Freeman was born in Bentley, Alberta on March 19, 1941, the sixth of seven children born to Samuel and Joan Freeman, and was raised on a farm near Forshee, Alberta. She was predeceased by her parents and two brothers, Philip and Terence Freeman. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother and is survived by her husband Russell, son Jason (Anastasia), and daughter Nicole ( Dan Reid ), as well as grandchildren Alexandria, Cameron, Samantha and Georgia Shortt and Liam and Joseph Reid. She will be sadly missed by brother Ralph Freeman, sisters Pat Freeman, Gladys Marshall, Sandra Gray and sister-in-law Betty Freeman. Beatrice took all her schooling in Rimbey, then moved to Calgary to take a secretarial course. While in Calgary she met Russell Shortt (a Land Survey student) and they were married on August 1, 1964 in Rimbey. They moved to Prince George, B.C. where son Jason was born and then Vernon, B.C. where Nicole was born. Beatrice worked for A.G.T., realty offices in Vernon, and in her husband’s business. She studied and received a diploma in Real Estate Appraisal from UBC. She actively participated in the Vernon community and was a Charter Member of Vernon’s Innerwheel Club. She had a ready sense of humor and wit and loved to shop for antiques. When asked one day what she was looking for in an antique shop she said “ I don’t know, but I’ll know when I see it”. A private family burial service was held at the Coldstream Cemetery, followed by a celebration of Bea’s life at the Vernon Alliance Church on May 14, 2013. If so desired a commemorative donation may be made to the Rimbey Hospital.

Braithwaite wins all round cowboy By Treena Mielke A Rimbey teen is off to provincials after winning all round cowboy in the Rimbey high school rodeo May 19 and 20. Cawl Braithwaite won boys allround cowboy after winning second in bull riding Sunday and Monday, and second in the bareback competition. He was surprised to win second in the bareback competition as it was his first time to enter. “A buddy entered me,” he said. Braithwaite won bull riding in provincials last year. The 17-year-old who lives on a farm west of Bluffton and is a Grade 11 student at West Country Outreach School, said he has been riding steers since he was nine years old and continues to enjoy rodeoing. “I grew up doing it and I have lots of buddies in ro-

deo.” The allround cowgirl at Rimbey High School rodeo was Makayla Boisjoli from Calgary. More than 100 competitors from district 2 of Alberta High School Rodeo, which encompasses central, east to the Saskatchewan border, north as far as Athabasca and south of Calgary, competed in the rodeo hosted by Butch and Nicole Smith with the help of friends and family. The Rimbey rodeo is the second last rodeo of the season allowing competitors an opportunity to make points to qualify for the Alberta finals, coming to Ponoka June to 9. The last rodeo before provincials was held in Carstairs last weekend. Contestants compete at provincials to qualify for nationals, to be held in Rock Springs, Wyo.
