Interest shown at meeting for upcoming fall election By Treena Mielke Running for municipal office requires a huge time commitment and private time with family and friends may be seriously reduced. Donna Tona, senior corporate consultant and vice-president operations of Transitional Solutions Inc., laid these facts on the table at an information session held Sept. 4 at the Rimbey Community Centre. Close to 40 people showed up for the session in which Tona talked about the pros and cons of being an elected official. “If you are running for office because you have an agenda it’s not a good idea,” she said. “Remember, you are only one vote and you are bound by the rules of the MGA (Municipal Government Act). Tona also stressed councillors may be at the helm of the community but they are not its rulers. “You’re not ruling, folks. You are serving and you have to have the spirit of service.” During her presentation, Tona touched briefly on the rules of closed door meetings. “Land, legal and personnel is what you go incamera for. Otherwise, the business is to be discussed in public and if you’re worried about debating in public, don’t run. I hope you have lots of people in your council meetings.” The relationship between the town manager and council is important, she said. “It needs to be a collaborative relationship, not adversial.” Budgeting needs to be addressed using the simple equation of dollars in/dollars out. “If you are looking at providing a new service, you need to find a new dollar. And remember you are elected to govern the public purse, you are not the public purse. Raising mill rates and desimating reserves will doom you to failure.” Reflecting on the democratic process and the freedom to vote, Tona noted everyone should have

I have seen them come in threepiece suits. They are so proud. It is exciting to see and reminds you that this is what our ancestors fought and died for. It renews your faith in the democratic process.” Jim Moore, a member of the Rimbey Ratepayers Association, believes the meeting was beneficial.
“Anyone who wants to run should have gone to it,” he said. “The main message I got out of it was that if you are on council you need to remember you are there to serve the town and there are procedures that need to be followed. You are only one vote on council and you’re not going to change the world.” Karen Conover, co-owner of Best Western Rimstone Ridge Hotel, who is undecided about running for council, also attended the meeting. “I just wanted to learn more, just to
see. It’s something I might be interested in.” Conover, whose educational background is in political science, finds the political field interesting. She came away from the meeting with a new appreciation for the time commitment required for councillors. “I think it would be an interesting amazing challenge, but it’s certainly more than just attending the meetings. And it’s based on service first. That really hit home for me.”

The Rimbey Review, Sept. 10, 2013 3
New faces in Elementary School halls By Treena Mielke Rimbey Elementary School’s teaching staff has some new faces on board this year. Stephanie Voysey, who taught last year at Ponoka Elementary School, will teach Grade 1. Darla Hohn, who will teach Grade 6 part-time, is returning from a year off and Christine Robertson is the new school/student liaison. Dawn Doll will teach in the Grade 3/4 classroom when Kath-
leen Robertson is coaching literacy. Principal Jody Bramfield said numbers at the elementary school are also slightly down from last year when the school housed 362 students. She is, however, confident the school will see enrolment rise from the 350 students now registered. “It changes daily,” she said. Bramfield is pleased the school will also implement Chromebook this year for some classes in grades 4 and 6. “It will free up the computer lab,” she said. The school’s chili cook off will take place Sept. 13 at Pas Ka Poo Park from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Voting will take place and a trophy will be presented to the winning entry. Anyone who is bringing chili should contact Bobbie Dudenhoeffer at 403-843-4249 by Sept. 12. Hotdogs and hamburgers will also be available.

OPINION
School days – then and now The sun-drenched days of September are here. And in the midst of all this golden glory when everything just seems to be almost achingly beautiful, school‘s back in. How fair is that? Treena Mielke It’s good to be back! On The Other Side Actually, I have not heard one person say that, but I’m sure some people are glad to be back. I just haven’t met them. My daughter, in fact, has bemoaned the fact that summer is over loudly and quite often. I think she thinks I am hard of hearing and don’t hear her well enough the first time. “I hope the kids aren’t mean and don’t pick on me,” she whined. “I hope we get a little longer for lunch. I hope there are lots of adults on supervision at recess. I hope they like my hair and my new jeans,” she added as an after thought. “I’m sure they will, sweetheart,” I say, soothingly. “After all, you are the teacher.” School days. How they’ve changed. When I was a very small kid I sat in a desk that was hooked to another desk and had an inkwell in the corner. It was in the right hand corner. I was to learn later this would be my first introduction to a ‘right handed’ world. “Can you write with your right hand?” the teacher, who was kind and motherly, even to left handers such as myself,” questioned. “No,” I said, immediately assuming a look of innocence and helplessness. Innocence and helplessness may help me get my own way, I reasoned. It worked. She sighed and moved on. And I, the six-year-old rebel that I was, printed my name boldly and clearly and proudly, the newly sharpened pencil clutched in my grubby little hand. My left hand, of course. It felt good. Getting away with being left handed was about my only act of non-conformity as a kid. For the most part, I just listened and learned and swung my feet a lot because being somewhat vertically challenged, I couldn’t quite reach the floor until I was about in Grade 6. We all knew, the children of the ‘50s and ‘60s, the days before iphones and ipads and cell phones and laptops and white boards and smart boards, that life was simple and good, as long as you followed the rules. Rule No. 1. The teacher was boss. Period. No ifs, ands or buts. That is just the way it was. Rule No. 2. She or he had a strap. And she or he was allowed to use it. I have no idea what ‘the strap’ was even made of, only that it stung and bad kids like my brothers got it lots. And kids who were slightly less bad such as myself, got it slightly less. Rule No. 3. If you got in trouble at school, chances are you would get in more trouble at home. In those days, parents had this annoying habit of siding with the teacher if there was some kind of dispute so as a kid you knew there was really no point in whining about very much at all. You would be far better off to go out and do the chores and if you didn’t have any chores, it might be a good idea to invent some. Despite all those rules that existed in the black and white chalkboard school days that etched out my childhood, it was fun being a kid. After all, there was always recess!

The Rimbey Review, Sept. 10, 2013 5
Put up or shut up Dear Editor: The election of 2010 saw a bitter and divisive American style “GI Joe” negative attack campaign waged against the council of the day, of which I was a proud to have been a part of for nine years. Earl Giebelhaus wrote in a June 11 letter to the editor about the “serious misuse of public funds by members of the past council” and implied those on that council used “public funds being spent for personal gain, pleasure or political influence.” Other than a personal issue with expenses which were attributed to possibly being in support of the Progressive Conservative party, there were never any expense irregularities that were legitimately challenged. The minister of Alberta Municipal Affairs said the issue of attending PC functions and how council was compensated was not a black and white issue; the minute it appeared there was a question of doubt, I stepped up and reimbursed the Town of Rimbey for $350. Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson and others of the Rimbey Ratepayers Association group made a promise they were going to audit the books and reveal all the abuses. No audit ever happened. I say to Gieblehaus and the RRA, regarding Dave Karroll and alleged wrongdoings, put up the evidence or shut up. History of the RRA and their performance For those who forgot about the Rimbey Ratepayers Association from last election, it was initially formed by Earl Gieblehaus, Joe Anglin, Sheldon Ibbotson and Gayle Rondeel, as a platform to fight against the council of that day. As it turned out, those who run for public office weren’t allowed to be on the board of that type of association and run for office. So Anglin, Ibbotson and Rondeel resigned and ran for office. Geiblehaus said June 11 the RRA has been “watching and waiting.” What a joke, watching and not acting on behalf of Rimbey taxpayers as the council of the day hung up a “Closed for Business” sign and rescinded the tax incentive grant program that had attracted huge investment to Rimbey. Then they watched and stood on the sidelines as this council attempted to give away the town office for $1. They also stood on the sidelines as council sold off our ambulance service, worth an estimated $1 million for a fire sale price of less than $500,000. Watched and didn’t stand up and fight when council rejected a petition signed by over 450 voters on the town office issue, based on as the town’s lawyers put it an “unclear question.” They have been watching as council has been frittering away our tax dollars, and watched as our population shrunk by 100 people since this council took office and watched businesses close. There was a challenge launched to the minister of Alberta Municipal Affairs on the potential breaches of the MGA by this council on the Eastview Garden issues. Council spent thousands of dollars of tax resources
without a resolution of council and without a specific budget item. It is technically illegal for them to have done that. They then all voted on an item they potentially had a pecuniary interest in and could be subject to disqualification. I suggested to administration and council they voluntarily invite the minister in to investigate the situation. They declined. Coun. Rondeel, who was responsible for this fiasco, reported in the Rimbey Review April 16 she had ordered town equipment into action, that is also against the MGA 201(2) where a council (councillor) must not exercise a power or function.....assigned to the CAO, and she could be made to reimburse the taxpayers for the costs associated with that project. Those costs have probably exceeded $5,000. The act also says she must resign if found guilty. I tried to question public works staff about the situation and they have been muzzled. I also asked the same question of a town councillor and was refused an answer. The minister’s office indicated it was a situation that could be brought to light in the process of an election and let you the voters decide. My criticism in the paper and publically in meetings has always been about this council’s decisions. I have never personally attacked any of these individuals as human beings. There is a serious issue that is unfolding, what appears to be a breach of my rights to privacy, and a public accusation of potential criminal activity on my behalf when Coun. Rondeel, attacked me personally when she announced at the public town garden meeting on April 4 in front of about 40 witnesses that “your emails had been sent to the RCMP.” Did I do something criminal, or was I the subject of a town-sponsored investigation? Mayor Ibbotson presided over the meeting. When I asked him if I was being charged with anything said. “No but your messages are vitriolic and offensive.” I have launched a complaint with the Alberta Privacy Commissioner. I never sent any messages to either Rondeel and or Ibbotson, it appears they were in possession of third party documents sent to Ellis, Payson and Webb, those other councillors are also listed in the that complaint, along with Tony Goode. It was of interest that Scott Ellis, whom I had met for the first time the previous evening at the town budget meeting, used exactly the same phrase describing my emails that Ibbotson had used. He said, “Your messages are vitriolic and offensive.” I wonder if he or Ibbotson coined the phrase? Goode initially denied participation but when an email I sent to him personally on April 5 ended up in the RCMP complaint package filed April 4, he refused to answer how it got there. If you want to read those “vitriolic and offensive” emails that were sent to the RCMP and for details on these issues and other major concerns with the current council, go to www.rimbeyelection2013.com Dave Karroll

Wolf Creek Schools teachers to develop new programs By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Teachers are developing new education units at Wolf Creek Public Schools. Educators at WCPS prepared themselves for another school year at Ecole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School Aug. 26 and 27 during the division’s Summer Institute. The mandatory symposium brought more than 500 certified staff to learn about changes at WCPS. Teachers and administrators were welcomed back by superintendent Larry Jacobs who highlighted the theme of the conference, “Knowing from doing.” “Last year one of the things that you told us was that the clarity of what the year should look like was not as good as it should have been,” he explained.
He rolled out a plan for teachers to develop teaching units over the course of the school year. His goal is to give students the best possible education and this program’s hope is to develop enhanced education at WCPS. This has been done with teachers, administrators and staff at the main office “What we want to do is work with you to help us all build three units and try to see if we can incorporate everything that we found out last year,” explained Jacobs. The first unit During September and October teachers are asked to take a unit and start to analyze it. Once finished with the unit administrators will meet with teachers to discuss how the plan went. He did not want teachers to feel they are being evaluated. “All it is, is an opportunity for you to practice
these 12 components,” said Jacobs. The result is not as important as the action. “It’s about trying, it’s about experimenting on the front end,” he added. Administrators will receive special training on how to support teachers in this project. The second unit Once the first unit is complete teachers will then build their own unit either by themselves or with a team. If three or for educators are teaching the same subject they can come together to plan a unit. The second unit will be conducted in the late fall/early spring. Feedback is an important step in the second unit. “We’re going to ask you to survey your students about their engagement,” explained Jacobs. Teachers will then work with administrators on how they want to develop their unit.
“We will do everything we can to support you,” he added. The third unit Jacobs says researchers suggest when trying something new it must be done three times to be done right. This third unit is similar to the second and will be taught prior to the end of May. Jacobs emphasized this is not an evaluation for teachers. “The point is for you to be able to look and say, ‘How did I do?’” Teachers will have the chance to look at their unit and determine which areas they feel are growth areas. He feels what makes this important is the discussion teachers, administrators and superintendents will have when the units are concluded. Be the end of the Summer Institute each group will have a better understanding of the process, explained Jacobs. “Which will be a discussion that helps us as a division.”
Rollover: A single vehicle rollover on Highway 53 west of Rimbey occurred on Sept. 4 at around 7 p.m. The Dodge Caliber 2007 was totaled and the female driver escaped by crawling out through a hole in the front glass. She was taken to Rimbey Hospital with undetermined injuries. APN Photo

Councillor lets name stand for fall election By Treena Mielke
Coun. Paul Payson
A town councilor who has served one term on council and plans to throw his hat into the political ring again is well within his rights to also serve as a volunteer fireman, despite information to the contrary from Transitional Solutions. Coun. Paul Payson was accused of conflict of interest three years ago because he is a volunteer firefighter and sits on council. At her information session, Sept. 5, Dona Tona, senior corporate consultant and vice president operations of Transitional Solutions Inc. handed out booklets containing information for candidates in the upcoming municipal election. The booklets states residents who are ineligible to run for an elected position on council include anyone who is a volunteer chief, officer or member of a fire, ambulance or emergency measures organization established by a local jurisdiction. The information, which turned out to be false, sparked more research into the issue. Trisha Anderson, public affairs officer with Alberta Municipal Affairs said the Local Authorities Election Act states that a person is not considered to be ineligible (as a councillor) if they hold any of those positions. Melissa Beebe, Assistant CAO for Rimbey said council sought legal advice when the issue
Ellis not to run in fall election By Treena Mielke A Rimbey town councillor has opted to bow out of municipal politics and instead devote himself to his educational pursuits. Scott Ellis, who replaced former councilor and now MLA Joe Anglin, in a byelection in July, 2012, will not seek re-election. Coun. Scott Ellis “With my current academic goals, I realized I could do a mediocre job of both but not do either one really well.” Ellis is in his third year of politics, history and economics studies at Kings University in Edmonton. He is finding the courses becoming more time consuming. “My schedule has become less and less flexible as the classes become more advanced,” he said. Although Ellis served less than a term on council, he believes the experience was invaluable. “I truly gained a greater appreciation for the people who work so diligently behind the scenes to make Rimbey a great place to live.” He also learned to appreciate and respect his fellow councillors for their point of view. While he was not surprised at the level of controversy that surrounded some issues, he was somewhat surprised the library expansion caused such dissention. Ellis was the lone councillor who wanted to move ahead on the relocation of the town office allowing the library room for expansion without taking it to a plebiscite. He understood and respected the other councillors’ opposition to his stand, however. “I saw it as the system working well.” While Ellis believes he has made the right choice to leave the political scene, he will miss council. “We have become a functional group and going forward, I can see getting some great work
done.” Ellis has not ruled out running for municipal office at another time. “I would definitely run again. We need people who are willing to put themselves out there. For sure I would put my name in again.”
came up three years ago. “We were given the go-ahead,” she said. However, following the meeting with Tona, Beebe checked the Local Authorities Election Act to
be sure Payson was within his legal rights. She said the Act confirms that he is. Neither Paul Payson nor Donna Tona were available at press time to comment.

Junior Senior High welcomes students with breakfast By Treena Mielke At Rimbey Junior/Senior High School, students milled about before going in for classes, en-
joying the annual pancake breakfast. The fall day was crisp and clear with not a cloud in the sky and the students clustered about in little groups outside the school, no doubt enjoying the warm tempera-
tures and an opportunity to catch up on the latest happenings. Principal Tim Lekas said the student population is down about 15 from the 375 who attended last year, although that number is subject to change, as more students may register throughout the month. He is not surprised the numbers are slightly lower. “Unfortunately, it is a sign of the times, he said. “Rural school are getting smaller.” Lekas said there are few staffing changes this year, Brian Grocholski replaces Jocelyn Olsen as the senior high English and junior high language arts teacher temporarily. Olsen is on maternity leave.
Lekas is excited the school will implement Chromebook, personal computers designed to be used while connected to the Internet and support applications that reside on the Web, rather than traditional applications that reside on the machine. Grade 9 students and junior and senior high school teachers will have access to Chromebook. “We are already using some of the applications such as using Cloud storage,” he said. The high school will bring back the scuba diving program and will use the Ponoka pool for training. A scuba diving trip is planned for March with a destination yet to be determined.

Teachers educated on easy blogger

RECYCLE
The way teachers communicate with students and their parents has changed from just parent-teacher interviews. Now parents can get a bird’s-eye view into their children’s classes as teachers start to use the Internet to lay out their lesson plans. Educators now communicate important aspects of students’ education though applications such as Twitter and blogs. But for some the idea of building a blog is daunting. This is where Chris Oram, assistant principal at Rimbey Junior/Senior High School and social studies teacher, steps in to help teachers. Oram was one of 70 Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS) educators presenting his expertise in a certain area Aug. 26 and 27 during the school division’s Summer Institute at Ecole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School. He provided useful tips for teachers on how to get started with Google’s Blogger application. “Technology’s changing and it’s becoming very user friendly.” There are other applications for blogging, says Oram, but with Blogger a person can start publishing in minutes. Users do not need to learn complex Internet code, which is used to build a website, Blogger has taken care of that. With the difficult tasks already handled, teachers can take more time to plan their site. “The planning process I think is one of the most fundamental steps,” explained Oram. He recommends defining what the site is going to be used for. Information must be targeted to a specific audience; in Oram’s case, content is for his social studies 8 class. Teachers who want to drive interest in the course and blog must be willing to post two or three times a week. “If you’re posting once every two weeks, no one’s going to check.” “This is what I’m doing anyways when I’m planning my class,” explained Oram. He recommends writing down the purpose behind the blog, who is it for, what resources will be needed and the style and tone of the website. “You’re creating a digital personality for yourself.” “You will be evaluated by your community,” he added. Once signed in, teachers created a blog with a web address, Google automatically checked to ensure the address was unused. Oram recommended a simple name that was easy to remember. As soon as a site was created teachers were given the chance to explore the Blogger templates. “You’re all going to realize just how easy this is and you’re all going to tune me out for a while,” he said. There are some positives to having a ready-to-start website: users do not need to worry about technical jargon and can get going almost immediately. The flip-side is Blogger’s templates are relatively simple. Oram says they are WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get. Once a lesson plan is ready he suggests teachers make sure they post regularly but check and take some
control over the comments. He advises moderating comments before they are accepted on the site. Proofreading is important too but blog posts can be edited after they are published. Oram suggests if a user is unsure, save the draft and publish later. Edits and posts can even be made on a smartphone or tablet. Being aware of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act is important as well. He advises teachers know who in their class is on a FOIP list as they need to ensure the protection of students. A useful tip for teachers wanting to keep students interested is to keep the blog post short and to the point. Using bullet points helps get the necessary information across and if there is detailed information then Oram usually provides a link to information sites such as Wikipedia. Another way is through videos. “Kids like video content.” Oram uses YouTube to embed education videos and sometimes goofy videos to give students a break. The next step is promoting the site. Oram would post his site on report cards and he is considering adding it to his email signature as well. “Don’t assume people know about your website.” He mentions the website to students in class and emails updates to parents, and makes regular blog posts. “They’re not going to take it seriously unless you take it seriously,” stated Oram.

It’s business as usual at Bluffton School with 16 bright new faces enrolled in the Kindergarten class and one new teacher on board. Principal Nolan Krauss said 130 students have registered at the K to Grade 9 School, although the number could increase in the next few weeks. “We are down a couple of students, but it is about the same as last year,” he added. Krauss is pleased the school will be utilizing chromebooks in the Grade 7/8 class with the Grade 5/6 class to follow in October. “It is an excellent device,” he said. “Very cost effective.” Krauss said staff and students are looking forward to the annual Terry Fox Run coming up Sept. 20. The run, a popular event, at Bluffton School, has raised more than $200,000 since its inception. Cross country running and volleyball is also coming up soon, he noted. “It looks like a great year ahead.

Pilot program challenges bullying perceptions By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Every parent wants their child to have a fighting chance at doing well at school. That shouldn’t include worrying about bullies. An anti-bullying pilot project, funded through Ponoka’s Family and Community Support Services (FCSS), is being rolled out to two schools in the Wolf Creek School Division (WCPS): Crestomere School and Mecca Glen School. Committees from each school composed of parents, teachers and administrators, were selected to be part of the training intended to reduce bullying. Presenting the program was Karen Kondor, bullying prevention educator with Find Your Voice. She is training the committees with the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program developed in Norway, which is intended to change people’s perceptions on bullying. Kondor has received many questions on how best to deal with cyber bullying but the issue is part of a greater problem. “It’s such unfamiliar territory with many adults,” she said. The program has only started making its way into Canada and Kondor believes there will be positive results from the experience. “Schools like Crestomere and Mecca Glen are on the leading edge of bullying prevention in Canada,” she explained. “They need to be very proud of that.” Most anti-bullying based programs follow a curriculum but Olweus is a longterm commitment. The schools will operate under the umbrella of the program that will eventually become part of students’ culture, she added. Implementing the program in the first year is not cheap, the cost is approximately $8,000 to $10,000 per school but there is a long-term financial benefit. She referred to a Philadelphia study on the benefits. “If a school can prevent two children from the leaving the school as a result of bullying, that revenue for those two kids will more than offset the cost for the implementation of the program.” RCMP Staff Sgt. Cameron Chisholm helped start the program through his membership with the Rotary Club of Ponoka. There was a $6,340 grant to
the club from FCSS, who recommended Mecca Glen and Crestomere as the pilot schools. Chisholm does not feel the cost of the program is as much as others. “It’s not an expensive program yet it encompasses the whole community and that’s something that is beneficial to the success of eliminating the problem,” explained Chisholm. Implementing the program across the school district is something superintendent Larry Jacobs will evaluate with the principals. He is going to ask how they see the program unfolding and what are some of the speed bumps to getting it running. “I’m going to ask them to give me a summation report…Even if it’s qualitative.” Students will be also be surveyed on the program to help WCPS’s decision. An initial survey will be held in October and again in October, 2014. Jacobs feels there are many potential benefits for the school division and Alberta Education has seen a need to reduce bullying. “This is probably one of the few (programs) though that has an organization behind it. A lot of them are kind of drive-by ideas.” “The province as a whole has got to look into it,” he added. Penny Mueller, Crestomere School principal, embraces the program and looks forward to the challenge of implementation this year. She has already seen a change in her perception of what bullying is. “There’s a common misconception that people are bullied because of a lack of self-esteem.” Another misconception is that people who are loners are bullied but that is also not necessarily the case, she added. “Today has brought an understanding that, when we look at our policy, we’re doing some pretty good things but there’s stuff that we can still improve on and that’s great,” explained Mueller. She looks forward to seeing changes in people’s perceptions of what bullying is and a reduction of the problem in the next few years. Olweus has been used for the last 30 years and every school in Norway has implemented the program; after school programs are also starting to use it. Depending on how each school uses Olweus, there has been a 30 to 70 per cent reduction in bullying, said Kondor. Chisholm says the new school resource officer will need to be aware of the program and will uphold the initiative.

meaningful for the student,” Spate explained. Criteria for project understanding differs from what some teachers may be used to; students need to show they understand their role, audience, product performance and the authenticity of the content. A neat and tidy presentation is important, says Rarick, but should not be the difference between a fail and pass. Teachers still want students’ work to be well presented but “will they be penalized because it’s not neat and tidy?” “For me it was a really new concept at looking at that outcome,” she added. What teachers can do to ensure proper understanding of a project is provide formative feedback as the project continues. Rarick uses the question “What is it you need to show me?” as a guide when determining if a student understood a project. Spate feels involving the student in the learning process promotes the ownership of learning. These performance tasks are used in conjunction with WCPS’s Excellent Learning Environment (ELE) program. Rarick and Spate started to develop the ELE with other teachers and administrators about eight years ago, which is in a continuous state of change. “It combines everything we need for teaching,” says Rarick. There is no right way of showing understanding of the task. “Not doing it isn’t an option.” The ELE gives teachers ways to deal with different learning styles. Spate and Rarick gave teachers some examples of tasks they used for their classes and suggested the tasks available to teachers can be adjusted to suit their needs or new ones can be designed. Support is available to teachers considering a performance task and Rarick suggested they seek support from other teachers who are instructional coaches in the school division. “It takes small steps.” Spate advised teachers try out a task to see how it works and adjust CANADIAN COURSE their learning by sharing This is the course you need to get their experiences. “That’s how Janice and I started.” your firearms license.

As children try to make the most of the last fleeting days of summer vacation teachers are ramping up for the school year. Teachers with Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS) took part in the school division’s Summer Institute Aug. 26 and 27 at Ecole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School. The conference was mandatory for all certified staff to learn more about the tools teachers have used in their classes that have worked. There were 70 classes teachers could choose from, the majority of which were taught by WCPS staff. One course provided teachers a way to assess students’ learning and performance with tasks. These projects give students an involved way of education, says Janice Rarick, Grade 1 teacher at Ponoka Elementary School. She and Lois Spate, principal at the school, showed how creating a performance task can help students understand certain principals. A performance assessment can anchor a teaching unit with a fun project that gets students active and engaged in a project, explained Rarick. “We want their interest and their enthusiasm sustained.” The role of the performance assessment gives students a meaningful and real life task they need to accomplish. Usually there is an audience — real or imagined — who can listen to a final presentation. “One of the things that’s really key with this definition is that it simulates how people do their work or things they will encounter in the outside world,” explained Spate. One of the most important results of the task is students have a strong understanding of the project. Having students feel they are presenting to a final audience helps drive their engagement.

The bull was given a stern warning and knows his next offence will likely be capital punishment. Drunk driver arrested Another drunk driver was arrested. Rimbey officers patrolling Highway 20 south of town observed a pickup truck going in the opposite direction veer way over the white line. The diligent members followed the truck and watched it weave back and forth in the lane until it was stopped. A 38-year-old man, a resident of Rocky Mountain House, was arrested and charged with impaired driving. The accused stated he had left a house party in Sylvan Lake and was heading back home... Police respond to fatality On September 5th, Police, EMS and the Fire Department attended a fatal accident south of Rimbey during the early evening hours. A local 51-year-old man was working on his pickup truck that was having me-
chanical issues when the truck rolled over him. RCMP investigated the matter with the assistance of the Collision Analyst team from Red Deer. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor and there is no foul play suspected in this case. Car thieves on rampage Thieves were going car to car again this week preying upon unlocked vehicles. One victim turned in a Cabela’s fly fishing rod that the thieves had left in the back of his truck. So, if you are missing a fancy piece of your tackle, please call the detachment. If you have any information regarding this or any other crimes, please call the local Rimbey RCMP Detachment at (403) 843-2224 or Crime Stoppers: Phone: 1-800-2228477 #8477 on Telus Mobility *8477 on Rogers AT&T.

QuitCore program helps local residents quit tobacco Free, six-week AHS workshop comes to Rimbey this month Local residents wishing to kick their tobacco habits can access the tools and support needed to build a tobacco-free lifestyle when QuitCore, a free Alberta Health Services (AHS) tobacco-cessation program, comes to the community next month. Led by trained cessation professionals, in partnership with the Wolf Creek Primary Care Network, the QuitCore program teaches tobacco users how to develop a plan to quit while providing strategies to address recovery symptoms, manage stress and, ultimately, prevent relapse. The program also connects participants with others trying to quit. Rimbey’s QuitCore program will be offered from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays from Sept. 26 to Nov. 7 in the auditorium of the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre, 5228 50 Ave. There will be no class Oct. 31. Phone toll-free 1-866-710-QUIT (7848) to register.
Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability and premature death in Alberta, causing more than 3,000 deaths each year across the province. Many more Albertans suffer from tobacco-related illnesses. AHS offers various programs and services to help Albertans quit tobacco, including telephone and online support services, one-on-one counselling and group cessation programs such as QuitCore, which launched in 2008. The program is now available in more than 20 communities across the province. Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than 3.9 million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

New doctor in town By Treena Mielke A new doctor has joined Rimbey’s medical team. Dr. Kristen Rylance, a general practitioner, began work Sept. 1 and is now accepting patients. Dr. Rylance, who took her residency in Red Deer and worked at the Red Deer hospital, is now living in Rimbey. Rylance is pleased to be working in a community that was close to where she grew up. “I grew up in Winfield and attended school at Winfield and Buck Lake,” she said. The new doctor completed her undergraduate degree and attended medical school at the University of Alberta. “I wanted to go somewhere rural and Rimbey was a good fit,” she said.

Language program helps students master English By Amelia Naismith
hours logged into the program, and while it was a pilot project in many WCPS schools last year Jones says, with budget cuts, if students aren’t going to take advantage of the program it’s wasting school funding. Extra and fun activities, often stemming from student union or similar groups, also present students with attractive opportunities to engage themselves. Presenter Michelle Wotherspoon, a teacher at Ècole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School and student union co-ordinator, talked about the benefits of having these fun, yet underrated educational activities in schools. “It really teaches them a lot of leadership skills,” said Wotherspoon. As a student’s confidence increases the positive attitude transfers to other areas of academic life. “It also gives them the chance, if it doesn’t go well, how can they improve it to make it go better the next time,” she added. Student union activities also benefit participating students who didn’t have a hand in the planning. “It gives them a chance to interact and try fun things. Sometimes that’s the only fun thing they get to do all day because they don’t like school,” said Wotherspoon. “It’s really about getting kids to buy into the school and they make it their own.” As students see the school as their building rather than a building vandalism and behavioral issues decrease, said Wotherspoon. At École Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School the student union is run by Grade 11 and 12 students, with Grade 10 students given the opportunity to sit on committees, which fosters inter-grade interaction. “It’s really good to get students in different groups,” said Wotherspoon.
Technology and non-traditional routes to engage students with a variety of needs are becoming more popular both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers who attended the Wolf Creek Public Schools (WCPS) Summer Institute symposium, Aug. 26 and 27 at Ècole Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School, were given the opportunity to delved deeper into two methods of engagement, both inside and outside regular classroom learning. Imagine Learning is an independent computer program originally designed to give additional support to English Language Learner (ELL) students, beyond what they absorbed from core English subjects, because schools don’t have the resources to place a staff member with each small group of students. Imagine Learning literacy software programs have taken hold internationally, and since initial development in 2004 has expanded to also support early childhood education, struggling readers and students with disabilities. “It’s a very independent program you don’t have to do a lot with, unless you want to,” said Bobbi Jones, presenter and support training specialist with Imagine Learning. Imagine Learning includes a process monitoring system for each student as well as advanced intuitiveness written into the software to complement and support the students and their level, which also allows the program to grow as the student’s abilities increase. “Our goal is to make students successful in their English speaking, both in the classroom and in the real world,” said Jones. An initial placement process based on literacy and language skills and needs places the student within the program, and from there it’s run on an individualized basis. “You will probably never see the students doing the same activities because they each have their own Local Authorities Election Act path,” said Jones.

The beef with lab-grown beef Submitted by Canadian Cattlemen’s Association It’s hard to beat the enticing aroma of beef sizzling on the barbecue and the satisfaction of eating a perfectly cooked burger or steak. So when the news articles appeared over the August long weekend on the cooking and tasting of the world’s first lab-grown beef burger, developed at Maastricht University in the Netherlands over a five-year period and at a cost of more than $300,000, the reaction was predictable. Online readers found the idea of eating lab-grown beef distasteful at best. Paired with beef consumption data from Statistics Canada that shows per capita beef and total meat consumption rose in 2012, and Health Canada’s recommending beef as a great first food for infants at six months of age, all indications are that this latest project of the anti-animal agriculture crowd is headed for an uphill battle in the court of public opinion. It makes no sense to devote significant funds and resources to creating a hamburger in a lab when consumers already have a ready supply
of affordable, delicious and nutrientrich ground beef available at the supermarket. When it comes to the great taste of beef there is no comparison — particularly if the choice is between beef harvested from sustainably raised animals, or threads of protein grown in a petri dish. The lab-grown meat in this particular project is touted by its promoters as the way to ‘help feed the world and fight climate change’ and as a way to mitigate animal welfare concerns. The project is funded by Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who said he was motivated by a concern for animal welfare. It is also supported by PETA. What’s missing from this premise is the sustainability efforts of producers and the industry as a whole to ensure the industry will be able to meet the needs of a growing global demand for protein responsibly. CCA belongs to a number of groups with a sustainability focus including the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef and has spearheaded a Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.
The world’s most important hamburger The most important hamburger in the history of the world was cooked in London recently. It was grown in a lab, not cut from a cow, and it tasted — well, not quite good enough to fool the experts. “I miss the fat, there’s a leanness to it,” said food writer Josh Schonwald, “but the general bite feels like a hamburger.” Austrian food critic Hanni Ruetzler agreed: “It’s not that juicy, but the consistency is perfect. This is meat to me. It’s not falling apart; it’s really something to bite on.” It was real meat, grown from a cow’s stem cells just like the flesh of its own body. It tasted lean because the stem cells the experimenters used were programmed to make only muscle tissue, not fat. (They’re working on that). The real test was whether lab-grown muscle cells could be organized into something with the consistency of proper meat, not mush and the lab-burger passed that test with flying colours. Why would anybody want to make meat in a lab? The problem with eating “natural” meat is that there are too many of us, eating too much of it, and we’re running out of land to grow it on. “Right now, we are using 70 per cent of all our agricultural capacity to grow meat through livestock,” professor Mark Post, the lead researcher, told The Independent at a conference in Vancouver last year.
“You are going to need alternatives.” “Livestock also contributes a lot to greenhouse gas emissions, more so than our entire transport system,” explained Post, a medical physiologist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. “Livestock produces 39 per cent of global methane, five per cent of the CO2, and 40 per cent of the nitrous oxide.” Eventually, he predicted, we will have an eco-tax on meat that is grown on the hoof. Whereas meat grown in the lab is a potentially inexhaustible resource, and it does far less environmental damage. A tonne of “cultured” beef would require 99 per cent less land and between 82 and 96 per cent less water than its “natural” rival, and would produce between 78 and 95 per cent less greenhouse gas. It would also use 45 per cent less energy. If Post’s process can scale up successfully, then in 10 or 20 years we could be producing enough meat for a growing global population even though many people are eating more meat per capita as their incomes rise. Moreover, we would be able to turn most of that 70 per cent of agricultural land back into forest and prairie, or switch it to growing grain for human consumption. “There are basically three things that can happen going forward,” said Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who bankrolled Post’s research. “One is that we can all be-

come vegetarian. I don’t think that’s really likely. The second is we ignore the issues, and that leads to continued environmental harm. The third option is we do something new.” So let’s assume that you can produce this beef in industrial quantities, complete with fat cells so
that it tastes just like the meat that comes from the slaughterhouse. Could you get people to buy it? No problem. Just price it about 20 per cent cheaper than the “real thing.” Those of us who are keeping up with the Joneses will buy the premium product. The rest of us will buy the one that’s just as good but costs less. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Humanity’s quirks seem strange from alien’s viewpoint The Humans by Matt Haig c.2013, Simon & Schuster $25.00 285 pages Three heads and five arms. Everybody’s looking at you like that’s Terri what you’ve got, even Schlichenmeyer though you’ve tried to The Bookworm fit in. You’ve done your best to speak their language, sample the local cuisine, wear clothes that don’t scream “tourist.”… but, going by the weird looks you’re getting in this land that’s not home, you might as well be from another planet. And what if you were? Would getting along be any easier? Find out by reading The Humans, the new novel by Matt Haig. At first, there was nothing. But then, the visitor wondered about the weather. It was raining. He wasn’t used to weather, and where was the computer? It was cold, inhaling was difficult, and there was this annoying buzz that got louder by the minute. The buzz was a car heading straight for him and when it hit him, he landed on the side of the road and laid there until a human rushed over. That terrified him — humans were very repulsive things — so he ran, naked. He knew he was supposed to be Professor Andrew Martin. He knew, because the hosts had taken the real Andrew Martin, removed all memories and thoughts, destroyed what was left, and sent him to this planet in Martin’s place. Martin was a math-

ematician and had unlocked a secret that could ruin Earth (though humans were doing a fine job of that themselves), and the visitor was assigned to stop the solution from being revealed by killing everyone Martin had told. But first, he had to fit in. Humans were of “middling intelligence and prone to violence, deep sexual embarrassment, bad poetry and walking around in circles,” which should’ve made things easy. Cosmopolitan magazine taught him a lot and the “news” (which should have been called The War and Money Show) taught him even more. With help from the hosts, he began his tasks so he could go home. Rudimentary human computers were ridiculously easy to use, and eliminating Martin’s work took less than five minutes. Killing Martin’s colleague — the one who knew about the mathematical solution — took a little longer. But doing away with Andrew Martin’s wife, Isobel, and his son, Gulliver? That was going to be a bit more difficult, especially since Isobel Martin was looking less and less repulsive… Let’s get this out of the way first: I love, love, loved The Humans. With a keen eye for homo sapien goofiness, spot-on observations on our foibles, and satire you could spread with a knife, author Matt Haig turns over his pen and lets his unnamed visitor write a book (with a dog in it.). There’s cleverness and wit all over each page and some explosive LOL moments, but what I loved best is the way Haig takes note of our many quirky human peccadilloes. After reading this book, in fact, you’ll never people-watch the same again. If you hate wimpy novels and demand something tack-sharp instead, here’s your next read. Grab The Humans and dig in because this book is out of this world.

Bluffton 4-H Beef Club By Leah Trenson, A 4-H group from Massey, Ont. arrived in Alberta in July to visit many cool places such as the Calgary Stampede, the Rocky mountains, the Banff gondola, the VJV Auction Market in Ponoka and the RCMP dog training centre in Innisfail. A pig roast was enjoyed by all. Bluffton 4-Hers also showed them how we live in Alberta. On Aug. 11 the Bluffton group
headed east. It was truly amazing, from the different land scape to milk in bags. The week was full of exciting places to go and great times. Members even had an underground tour of a nickel mine at Dynamic Earth in Sudbury. They saw the Big Nickel, went to Manitoulin Island, went swimming in Lake Huron and toured a museum in Massey. It was a fantastic trip with many memories and new friends made.

Chamber. I have to agree. The government has Prime Minister Steasked the Supreme Court phen Harper is the only MP Blaine of Canada if Parliament leader providing a pathcan enact term limits on way to reform the Senate. Calkins senators so that they serve In early 2013 the prime minister sent six reference questions eight or nine years rather than having a to the Supreme Court of Canada for its job for life? The government’s conten-
tion is yes we can. We have asked whether Parliament can set in place a democratic vote to recommend names to the prime minister for the Senate; it is our belief yes we can. We want to know if the provinces can hold a democratic vote of their own to recommend names to the prime minister for the Senate. Again, we believe yes they can. As well we have asked if Parliament can remove antiquated property ownership requirements for senators. Our argument is yes we can. Finally, can we abolish the Senate without the unanimous consent of the provinces? We answer yes, we believe we can. The opposition parties have been doing nothing but spewing hyperbole and rhetoric; they have no plan in place to move ahead with real Senate reform. They sit in the back benches and complain about the Senate but they have not put forward a single idea to transition the senate from its current state.
In May, the government took the first steps to ensure the Senate is on the path to transparency and change when they adopted 11 strong measures to ensure accountability but there are many more changes needed according to the people I met with this summer. As the prime minister said in his address to caucus: “The Senate status quo is not acceptable — Canadians want change.” I wholeheartedly agree and am eagerly awaiting the return of the reference questions from the Supreme Court of Canada so we can get on with the task at hand.

Senate needs reputation intervention Dear Editor: On March 24, 2005, at the request of Prime Minister Paul Martin, I was asked to serve in the Senate. There were nine of us appointed that day: Retired General Roméo Dallaire, Claudette Tardif, Nancy Ruth, Elaine McCoy, Art Eggleton, Lillian Dyck, Bob Peterson, Grant Mitchell and I. Two of our number were longstanding Progressive Conservatives and one a member of the NDP. Roméo Dallaire’s continuing contribution to Canada and the international community is widely recognized. Claudette Tardif came to the Senate as a strong advocate for minorities, informed by a lifetime working for the rights of minority francophone communities in Alberta. Lillian Dyck is a scientist who was a professor in the Neuropsychiatry Research Unit of the University of Saskatchewan. She is a proud member of the Gordon First Nation in Saskatchewan. Each of the senators with whom I was appointed that day was chosen because they provide Canadians with a unique combination of expertise and experience, and deep connections to groups and communities whose voices have not always been heard. Senator Dallaire travels across Canada and around the world, advocating for the rights of children forced to become soldiers. He stands regularly in
the Senate to hold the government to account on behalf of the many Canadian veterans who call upon him, knowing he will listen and that he understands, very profoundly, the issues they face. Senator Dyck has been a determined voice for the hundreds of murdered and missing aboriginal women, demanding that a public inquiry be held to bring justice for their families and communities. On issue after issue, she has worked closely with Canadians who find themselves cut out of the national dialogue, giving voice to their concerns and perspectives at the federal level. The Senate was designed to do exactly what these colleagues of mine are doing. The House of Commons, whose members are elected, understandably will primarily reflect the views of the majority. The Senate was intended to provide a balance to the potential problems of a “tyranny of the majority,” by providing for the appointment of individuals to represent minority views that otherwise may not be heard, or could be overwhelmed by the power of the majority. Do Canadians believe it is important to have these voices represented in the federal legislative process? Whom do they want to see in the Senate, and how do they want those people chosen? What powers should the Senate have — the same as the House of Commons,
or different? If there are conflicts between the two chambers, how should they be resolved? Right now, the Senate normally defers to the House, as the elected chamber. If the Senate also becomes elected, which House prevails? We are long overdue for a serious national discussion about the Senate. The Senate is one of our two Houses of Parliament. Regrettably, its reputation — and that of all of us who serve there — has been terribly damaged by recent events. These events have also prompted more Canadians to question whether the Senate serves a useful purpose. Others ask whether changes could better meet the legitimate expectations of Canadians. That is the discussion that The Chronicle Herald has invited me to join, from the perspective of an active senator for Nova Scotia. The Fathers of Confederation first and foremost intended the Senate to represent the “regions” (now the provinces and territories) in the federal Parliament. Some commentators argue this role is no longer needed, as premiers effectively represent their province’s interests to the federal government. I am not convinced. I appreciate that premiers are more powerful than senators, and when they choose to weigh in on an issue, their voices can have considerable impact. But premiers are busy running their respective provinces, focusing on issues within provincial jurisdiction. Their job is full, without also needing to scrutinize and speak out on all pieces of federal legislation. And what happens when, as we have seen in recent years, a prime minister chooses not to hold first ministers meetings? Or when a prime minister meets with certain premiers, while ignoring others? It was a senator who discovered in 2008, buried
deep in an omnibus budget bill, that the federal government wanted to give itself the ability to censor Canadian films. It was the Senate — in a welcome cross-partisan initiative a few months ago — that stopped Bill C-377, a patently unconstitutional bill that would have forced an unprecedented level of public disclosure of private information about Canadians who happen to work for or do business with a labour union. We succeeded where the NDP failed in the House of Commons. Small wonder the leader of the NDP would prefer the Senate did not exist. The Senate also produces policy reports (and happily, at a small fraction of the cost of a royal commission Senate reports have pushed public debate — and government action — repeatedly for decades. The Senate’s 2002 report on marijuana has been downloaded more than 49,000 times since 2006. It was a Senate report that resulted in the creation by Prime Minister Stephen Harper of the Mental Health Commission of Canada. I wholeheartedly welcome a public discussion about whether we need a second chamber, what powers it should have, how its members should be selected and what role Canadians expect it to fulfill in the 21st century and beyond. The Senate can make an important contribution, complementing the role of the House of Commons. But any institution is only as good as its members. Those of us who serve in the Senate, who know firsthand the good work that it has done and can do, are the most concerned by the actions of those who betray the trust given to us. “Honorable” is not a title; it is a standard to uphold and live up to, every day.

Despite hailing from Sydney, studying at the Australian Conservatory of Music and releasing a killer first album in 2010, Daniel Matto’s newest album Groovin’ With The DMQ is loaded with average jazz songs and reaches only a pleasant level. Matto closes the album with the classic Simon and Garfunkel song The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy). While he didn’t ruin the song, the modernized jazz presentation and lilt to the lyrics and an unnecessary extended instrumental piece change to flow of the familiar song. Stoic fans of the classic may find Matto’s rendition, with its blunt yet tinkling piano notes irritating. However, the rendition fits in well with the rest of the classy album. I’m Old Fashioned, released in 2010, presented a smooth, warm style of storytelling filled with simmering notes and lots of soul. The album is enigmatic, classy
and fun, a real treat to listen to. It featured saucy jazz primary and secondary rhythms overlapping and complementing each other with languid ease. Groovin’ With The DMQ is a step down for Matto. While still smooth and classy it lacks the master storytelling and vivid images of his previous album. Prominent especially during the love songs, the ambiguous lyrics convey a more mainstream pop pattern rather than focusing on the story of the song. Seemingly slower-paced, the album lacks the enthusiasm of the first, making these tracks and their instrumental sections drag on. Despite the speed bump deriving mainly from the lyrics, Matto’s newest album hasn’t diminished his vocal abilities and impeccable talent. The unwavering mid-range is a captivating tone suited perfectly for the style of music and when the lyrics are up to par with his talents, magic happens.

ROETTGER-EMMONS Eleanor Margaret May 4, 1933 - August 19, 2013 After a long illness, at peace with her God and her world, Ellen Emmons passed away at Bethany Senior’s Home in Red Deer. Eleanor had one brother, Alfred (deceased); and a younger sister, Dorothy (Hanna), who is retired now, and lives in Nanaimo, B.C. It’s not easy being married to the Army. With two sons, and thirteen years of service behind him, Lew Emmons left the armed forces, and the family moved west in 1969, from Pembroke-Petawawa, Ontario. Approximately five years after moving to Alberta, Ellen and Lew Emmons divorced. Ellen moved to Rimbey, where she remained for the next twenty eight years. She had several boy-friends in later years, but never re-married. There will be no memorial or funeral service for Ellen Emmons. That is the way she wanted it; that is the way it will be done. Not that she chose to go out quietly, or without pride in her life’s accomplishments. Simply the way she wanted it. Let us all remember, individually, to ourselves, what “the prettiest little thing on roller skates that Pembroke had for years” (my father’s words) meant to us. I will be assembling a “book of memories” things that Mom wrote, cards, photos, etc. for history’s sake. Much the same as I did with Brian (Lew). If anyone wants to contribute to that, simply send it to Ellen Emmons, c/o myself, Rimbey Post Office, and I will get it. Donations to “TrueHope.com” down in Raymond, Alberta would be very beneficial. True Hope has a completely natural supplement that had helped thousands of people now with ATF, fibromyalgia, bi-polar and other chemical imbalances in the brain. There is no way that I would have made it through all of this, first with younger brother, and then mother, without the help of others. The people that have stood beside me, trusted and valued friends for so long, words do not cover it. Loyalty speaks for itself. There is a hospital in Ponoka called The Centennial Center. it is not an “insane asylum:. Nor is it a “crazy house”. It is, like the others that we have here in Alberta, one of the very best hospitals for the mentally ill that there is in North America. The people there prove it on a daily basis. To the small, and truly dedicated group of people at the Red Deer and Foothills Hospital. I would not be here, without S.T.A.R.S. You went far above duty and job, to keep me alive (and succeeded so well), last year when I had my own physical health issues; thank you so much. If I wanted a good holiday from life, Bethany, College Side Senior’s Home in Red Deer would rival any tropical country. To the administration, for understanding that health effects wealth, and a staff of people at Bethany that are the pride of the industry, again, many many thanks. And that small, wonderful regional hospital in Rimbey. After eight rounds, in and out, over two years, the nurses and doctors were honest enough to tell me that they had done all they could. Mom, you did just fine. Kevin Emmons

SCHAUER Ruth A. Schauer of Rimbey, Alberta passed away peacefully, with her husband by her side, at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre; Area Three on Saturday, August 31, 2013 at the age of 68 years. Ruth was born in Mayerthorpe, Alberta on December 22, 1944. She was a very loving wife, mother, and grandmother, and her memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of her family and friends. Ruth loved to bake, and most likely made the world’s best pies! She thoroughly enjoyed all her embroidery and sewing projects, and often wore many of her own creations, as did her children. Ruth also loved to garden, and took great pleasure in volunteering at the hospital where she enjoyed spending time with the seniors. Ruth will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her beloved husband, Elmer; her son, Russell (Wendy) Schauer of Red Deer; and her four daughters, Debbie (Richard) Reeves of Blind Bay, B.C.; Brenda Wirtz of Sherwood Park; Cheryl (Jim) Niemi of Salmon Arm, B.C.; and Marlene (Mike) Palamarek of Lacombe; as well as eleven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. She will also be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her brother, Carl Carlson; and her sister, Marie Slack, both of Lacombe; as well as many nieces and nephews. Ruth was predeceased by her parents, Gus and Jessie Carlson; and one brother, Roy Carlson. A Public Memorial Service in Celebration of Ruth’s Life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion, Rimbey on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. with the Reverend Deborah Laing officiating. Cremation took place at the Central Alberta Crematorium, Red Deer. If friends desire, memorial tributes in Ruth’s Memory may be made directly to the MS Society of Canada, Central Alberta Chapter, #105, 4807 - 50 Avenue; Red Deer, Alberta T4N 4A5. Condolences to the Family may also be expressed by email to: special_reflections@telusplanet.net Funeral and Cremation Arrangements for the Late Ruth A. Schauer entrusted to the care of OBERHAMMER FUNERAL CHAPELS LTD. Rimbey, AB. 403-843-4445

Benjamin Natural Gas Co-op Ltd Would like to take the time to thank ED GRUMBACH for his many years of dedication and service as director of Benjamin Natural Gas Co-op from 1974-2013. Ed was one of the founding directors when the co-op first put lines in the ground for natural gas service to the Benjamin area. Currently there is approx. 425 members who enjoy natural gas service due to the hard work and contribution of Ed. While the numbers are small to compared to many distributors, it was a massive undertaking to accomplish, and Ed gave his time while farming and raising a family. Again thank you!
