County wants Rimoka’s Bethany Group removed By Amelia Naismith The majority of Ponoka County council was hunting for the termination of the Bethany Group’s contract, to severe ties between the group and the Rimoka Housing Foundation. However, that suggestion was not accepted by the Rimoka board and was instead accepted for information, at their Sept. 18 meeting. Coun. George Verheire stirred a passionate discussion at council’s Sept. 17 meeting.
He moved to send a letter of suggestion to the Rimoka board to end working relations with Bethany Group within 30 days, following the stipulations of the contract. The motion passed in a 3-2 vote with councillors Verheire, Keith Beebe and Gawney Hinkley in favour and councillors Paul McLauchlin and Reeve Gordon Svenningsen opposed. “I think this would be a very good move on their part in order to save the integrity of
Rimoka as it is right now. We’re losing that very fast,” Verheire told council. McLauchlin, who is also the board chair of Rimoka, was caught off guard by his colleagues’ decision to send the letter and felt there were other options available to deal with the concerns of council and residents. “At the end of the day there’s a due process for complaints and I think the definitely includes you taking your complaints back to Bethany and finding a resolution,” he said.
“It was a pretty positive meeting actually,” McLauchlin said in an interview. “It was a strong message.” To move forward from the letter, he says the board is going to work harder to keep the lines of communication open between town and county councils, the Rimoka board, Bethany Group and the residents. “I think, for the most part, this is really a message for continual improvement,” said McLauchlin.

County deals with land, water and gun issues By Amelia Naismith County enters Rimoka land agreement After a two-year wait, Ponoka County council has entered into an agreement to purchase the land for Rimbey’s proposed Rimoka senior residences. “They’re now suddenly quite interested to move and get this agreement done,” said county CAO Charlie Cutforth. Although it concerned Cutforth the agreement was accepted with the statement that the sellers, if development specifications weren’t properly met, could, at their discretion, transfer ownership of the
land back to themselves and keep the county’s purchase price of $330,000 as liquid assets. “We have strength in the perpetuity clause,” said Coun. Paul McLauchlin, referring to the time limit that was lifted stating development had to be underway within five years. Before the land is signed over the county must complete swale and roadwork; small projects they aren’t concerned about. “They’re prepared to execute it (agreement) immediately and then it’s a matter of the subdivision process,” said Cutforth. Unsightly premises decision
Council discusses Rimoka Continued from Page 1 The Rimoka board didn’t meet over the summer and wasn’t able to address some of the previous issues brought up by council and McLauchlin believes the delay may have, in part, triggered their decision. “I think maybe they were frustrated.” From the Rimoka meeting McLauchlin says the board was able to address two critical points. “We wanted to make it clear we do support BethCoun. McLauchlin any.” “We’re looking to really strengthen our support for Bethany,” he added. The Rimoka board was also looked to alleviate the councilor’s concerns through strengthened communication and to speak to rumours. One of the issues Beebe brought to council was what councillors referred to as a gag order on staff, meaning they couldn’t talk to board members about their own concerns without fear of being fired. McLauchlin says this is not the case and has never been a part of Bethany’s policy. While he voted to against the motion, Svenningsen had a few concerns of his own. “I know I’ve certainly had some concerns. I’ve had people phone me in regards to what’s going on there and in regards to the manager that was there, there was concerns.” In January 2011 the CAO of the Rimoka Housing Foundation was asked to resign and Svenningsen thinks they may be heading down that same path. “We can find a manager that can run this place better
than they can,” agreed Hinkley, who’s troubled with the idea Bethany is replacing Rimoka staff with their own staff. Another cause of dissatisfaction is Bethany’s recurring requisition, which was supposed to be a one-time occurrence set at $113,000 County CAO Charlie Cutforth explained to council the requisition was requested a second year because the $113,000 wasn’t enough to cover the cost of losing the Rimoka CAO. “But the third year and subsequent years is to a change of funding.” While Hinkley understands Rimoka is receiving $245,000 less per year from provincial funding he doesn’t know why council still has to pay the requisition or why it’s been doubled. County council is paying 70 per cent of the requisition. However, it was said during the council meeting that compared to other communities where Bethany operates, the amount of the requisition is on the low end of the spectrum, “Which we’ve always thought was good management,” explained Cutforth. While he didn’t agree with councils decision, McLauchlin thanked council for their help in moving forward with the land purchase for the proposed Rimbey Rimoka site. “The council members that I think were in support of the motion are heavily invested in council and they want to see it do well.” “At the end of the day we’ll find a resolution, they’re an effective board. They’re there for the right reasons and we’ll find solutions to the problems . . . The issues you’ve identified, we’re aware of them,” said McLauchlin.

The landowner in an unsightly premises conflict that came to head at the Sept. 3 council meeting is being given until mid-spring to tidy his land, “To organize, not necessarily remove it,” said Cutforth. Albert Brown has a vast and disorganized assortment of Sea-Can trailers, farm machinery, vehicles, modular trailers, scrap metal and oilfield machinery on his property along Elkhorn Road. Parts of the collection that can be seen from their own property disturb adjacent landowners Gary and Pascale Duff. Councillors agree Brown’s land is an eyesore but much of that stems from the untidiness rather than the collection. Coun. Paul McLauchlin feels if better organized the collection would become part of the “scenescape.” Cutforth says giving Brown an appropriate amount of time to tidy his land should produce result to the council’s liking and he hopes the action will also appease the Duffs.

OPINION
Memories keep summer alive Summer is almost done. It’s sad. I only got started on my summer bucket list stuff and then I happened to look out the window and noticed the whole picture in front of me had changed. For one thing, someTreena Mielke one had dyed the leaves On The Other Side on those old poplar trees that hang over my fence to the colour of old gold and burnished copper, and only a few green ones had escaped the relentless brush strokes. The marina was curiously empty and devoid of any kind of water activity such as boats that purred softly, stirring up the water like blue pudding mix and people bearing fishing rods and hope with a single minded determination. Geese, in the familiar V formation cut through the sky, startling the stillness with their piercing cry. The window was open and I shivered, thereby feeling cold as well as sad. You would think after living my entire life in Alberta except for a few misplaced years when I got lost in British Columbia, I would know a few things about life and the way it is. Summer does not last long here. Never lose that ice scraper thing because one day before long you will need it, especially if, at the place where you live, the garage is used to store tools and your driveway is used to park cars. I remember when we got a garage and I was all smug and proud and bragging about it. I don’t talk about it much anymore on account of the fact my car sits in the driveway but my husband’s tools stay warm and cosy in the garage all winter long. How did that happen? Yes, winter is long and just thinking about it makes me all cold and sad already. Still, when spring was smiling its happy little yellow face all over the world and the mud puddles were only covered by a thin veneer of ice, it seems summer, which has been a very long time coming, would last a long time, too. That kind of optimism is just plain silly. It won’t. But summer, though short, was good. Even though I did not get to prove my athletic prowess as a water skier, nor did I make it to the golf course, but once, there were a few moments when happiness just sort of appeared and, unexpectedly, plopped down right where I was. There was that game of softball with my grandchildren. Who would have thought using a plastic ball and bat and an old tree for first base could garner such delight. And, there was the party! Many people ate, drank and were merry at the party, and for a brief moment in time, I forgot to be the hostess, and ate, drank and was merry, too. That’s the best kind of party! And, there was the flowers. Why, when stress rears its ugly head and people find all kinds of things wrong with the world, not even including winter, do flowers have a way of making everything better. I guess because they are so perfect and they grow even through cement (oh no, that’s weeds). Seriously, my flowers were extraordinarily wonderful, reminding me, once again, even though not all is right with the world, flowers and eyes that smile and little people who call you grandma, balance the scales enough to keep thoughts of summer alive. Even in winter.

The Rimbey Review, Sept. 24, 2013 5
How to document the Harper legacy? As the summer of 2013 glues itself into the cottage guest books and family photo albums, the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper prepares itself for yet another prorogation of Parliament so it can work on a new throne speech. We are told that extra time is needed to assess what components of the mandate have been accomplished, and what has yet to be done by mid2015, when we citizens shall be summoned to judge the Conservatives in a national election. This time prorogation is all about discovering and documenting the Harper Conservative legacy. In the spirit of citizenship, and wishing to be helpful, I offer the PMO “legacy scribes” the following thoughts on the legacies of the prime ministers and governments who have gone before in the post-Second World War era, as baby boomers grew up and came of voting age. First up, and now a dimming memory, was John Diefenbaker and the great Progressive Conservative sweep of 1957. He is the first PM I can remember. I associate his legacy with being a crusading western prairie lawyer who cared about the North, gave Status Indians the vote in federal elections, and all of us the first Canadian Bill of Rights. Next up came Lester Pearson, a distinguished Oxford-trained historian, who gave up thoughts of practicing law for a career in the Canadian Foreign Service. After winning a Nobel Prize for conceptualizing UN peacekeeping missions, he entered politics and never achieved a majority. His government’s key legislative legacies drew on the pioneering efforts of Tommy Douglas’ Saskatchewan CCF, and included the Canada Pension Plan, Canada Student Loans, and medicare. Pearson also prepared for his departure from public life by encouraging Pierre Trudeau to run for the Liberal leadership. Trudeau was a lawyer but he was more of an academic and public intellectual by temperament. His legacy really is dominated by repatriating the Canadian Constitution, appending the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Official Languages Act. It also includes maintaining the national dream by continuously arguing with considerable finesse the role of Quebec within a united Canada. His invoking of the War Measures Act during the October Crisis, and tough response when asked by a CBC reporter just how far he was prepared to go (“Just watch me,”) showed all of Canada the temper of the man. The Joe Clark legacy hardly had time to form in his short government but his continued devotion to national service is noteworthy. Canada as “a community of communities” per-
Mike Robinson Guest Columnist
haps best defines his prairie view of national life. Few would argue that Brian Mulroney’s key legislative legacies are the Canada/U.S. Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA. While the constitutional wrangles of the sought-after Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords have dulled our public enthusiasm for more of the same, our desire to trade freely with our southern neighbours grows yearly. Mulroney also contributed the Environmental Protection Act and the GST to our national memory bank. John Turner (1984) and Kim Campbell’s (1993) legacies are shorter than Joe Clark’s, and neither is associated with a defining moment or phrase. The Chretien and Martin years, because fundamentally they worked as lawyer/managers in a governance/ finance team, are associated with federal government debt reduction, deficit controls for government departments, and astute leadership in matters international. PM Chretien’s refusal to send Canadian Forces to participate in Operation Desert Storm is a national grace point in our history. Both Chretien and Martin had progressive, community-based attitudes to First Nations, Metis and Inuit issues. Chretien enabled Nunavut’s creation, and had it had a chance for implementation, Martin’s Kelowna Accord might have served the country well. And so we hit the present moment, so often portrayed in the media as a time to “press the reset button,” as if the country was a giant game console or video recorder. Resetting doesn’t create a legacy. Proroguing doesn’t either. Frankly, more time to write about little, doesn’t make it big. Legacy in Canadian political terms since the 1950s most often has had to do with lawyers leaving private practice or business careers to accomplish pre-set goals in the public interest that require legislation to implement. It is rarely about dismantling long-gun registries, dumbing down census forms, or celebrating wars fought in the 1800s. Constantly saying the economy is your priority, and erecting Economic Action Plan signs is not a legacy moment either. Indeed we could argue the Harper government’s primary legacy so far is its total legislative absence.

OPINION
The race is on; get to know your council candidates Unless at least one brave soul stepped forward on nomination day, Rimbey will not have a race for mayor in the October municipal elections. Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson seems to have no visible opposition. At this point, I’m not sure you’d want someone who can’t decide until the last minute to commit to serving as Rimbey’s chief elected official for the next four years. This column is being written prior to nomination day, Sept. 23, so I don’t know for certain whether there will be sufficient candidates to require an election. Assuming there will be an election, the Rimbey Review will provide profiles on the candidates and reports from forums and candidates’ meetings. This is the basis for your education on the issues. This is your best opportunity to influence the outcome of the election. This is your time to tell the candidates what they should be doing for you, your family and your community. The election is your opportunity to elect the people who will represent the way you feel about the need for a new library, about policing and fire protection, about pop up parks, potholes, and how often streets should be plowed. It’s possible Rimbey’s electorate will be deafened by the number of shrill, one-note candidates who will have come out of the weeds to unseat the incumbents; certainly the issues of library expansion and business tax incentives
have galvanized opinion. It’s anyone’s guess whether these “politicians” will actually be capable and interested in governing if they are successful in unseating a majority of incumbents. As voters, our perceived lack of political knowledge creates problems for government. As people become less knowledgeable about how their government works, the more they believe that they are powerless to change it. This creates frustration and cynicism, which in turn creates a vicious cycle of nonvoting, unresponsive representatives, and even lower voter turnout and disconnectedness. Make an informed choice on election day. Read the candidates’ literature, their profiles in this newspaper, attend the political forums and talk to the candidates when they come to your door. It’s as much their responsibility to educate you about the issues as it is yours to seek out the information. Many eligible voters are intimidated by elections because they can’t or don’t follow all of the issues, candidates and platforms. It’s time consuming and inconvenient; and once elected the politicians do what they want anyway, right? Voter turnout at the polls on municipal election days has become poor and part of the blame can be laid at the feet of the candidates. It is their responsibility to work hard over the next month to restore our faith in government and ease our frustrations. These candidates must make us feel included in the system

maintaining infrastructure. For some seeking office, sitting on municipal council is a matter of civic duty; for others it is an opportunity to push a personal agenda, to oust an outof-control incumbent, or to interfere with the administration of the municipality. It is not council’s job to oversee the day-to-day operations of the corporation — that is the job of the CAO hired by council. The grassroots is fertile ground for the propagation of all sorts of creatures who feel they have “something to offer” or who wish to “give something back to the community” and offer themselves up for election. Beware the one-issue candidate whose purpose is to sabotage the community agenda for his own political ends. If municipal council is in touch with its residents, it enjoys the confidence and support of the community; it reflects the needs and ambitions of the community, contributing to the growth and benefit of the economy. Councillors must offer visionary leadership that encourages business and residential growth, and which opens the door to new opportunities for success. Be sure to elect them Oct. 21.

Like I was saying, I’m moving to east central Saskatchewan to take the next step in a newspaper career of more than 30 years that has lurched forward and back, for the most part at community newspapers between Red Deer and Edmonton. It’s the first time since I left Sylvan Lake for Wetaskiwin in 1987 that I decided when to leave for greener pastures — a few times that decision was made for me.

If you are unfamiliar with some of the candidates, you have no obligation to vote for them. Vote for the one George Brown you have made a conOff the Record nection with. Randomly filling in the ballot or checking off four may knock out the one candidate you do want to see elected and instead put people in power who do not share your views or who lack commitment to take the role of councillor seriously. If there is a lack of credible candidates on the ballot, and a low voter turnout, the nutbars and axe grinders stand a better chance of getting elected and taking control of the political agenda for the next three years. Confront these candidates when they come to your door. What do they see as the municipality’s greatest challenges in the next four years? Quiz them to determine for yourself their integrity, leadership, vision and suitability for office. As in any multi-million dollar corporation, there will be differences of opinion among the board of directors as to the best way of achieving the goals of the shareholders and determining the most efficient operation of the corporation. I would rather see town council split 3-2 on important votes and know all sides of the issues have been discussed than see five yesmen whipping through the agenda believing they can do no wrong. Municipal council exists for one purpose: to govern. It is accountable to the taxpayers and the community as a whole to see that the corporation achieves its annual and long-term goals such as economic growth, low taxes, sufficient police and fire protection, and

County council briefs Continued from Page 3 The county was aware of the break prior to the accident and was using barricades to warn people away. “Those barricades promptly went missing. They aren’t even just laying there, they’re missing,” said Cutforth. “My recommendation is we pay this. We thought we’d addressed the problem but it wasn’t adequate,” he added. The county’s insurance includes as $1,000 deductable. Remains returning to Ponoka County No formal proposal has been made but Ponoka County may see the return of the bones of 28 First Nations bodies to a closed cemetery on county land. The bones, discovered in 1965, are stored at the University of Alberta, were found on three remnant, subdivided lots. “We approved the subdivision, nice lots,” said assistant CAO Tom Webber. “In March of last year we received notification Her Majesty the Queen purchased them.” A representative with Alberta Aboriginal Affairs has contacted Webber and another meeting was set for after Sept. 6 to further discuss the matter and how it could affect adjacent landowners. “Not everybody is upset about this, they just want to know the scheme of this,” said Webber, referring to the extensiveness, layout and amenities of the cemetery. CAO Charlie Cutforth wants county councillors to remain separate from all discussions for now because a rezoning application may have to be issued for the cemetery and he doesn’t want councillors to be biased. “I think someone made an assump-
tion of what our bylaw allows. Park space, recreation space is permitted use in CR (country residential) zoning but a cemetery isn’t,” said Webber. Lagoon water transfer concerns As Encana forges ahead with its plan to purchase and transfer water from Rimbey’s lagoon for fracking, landowners are becoming anxious. “They’ve got a few of the locals riled up,” said Webber. In conjunction with the fracking, Encana is building a 28-acre holding lagoon for the water, which has landowners and councillors talking about environmental safety and whether permits are needed. “There’s been some concerns of the smell and groundwater safety,” said Webber. A synthetic liner is included in the lagoon development. While the holding lagoon is unlicensed Ponoka County also doesn’t require farmers to purchase permits for their own lagoons, so long as they’re situated safe distances from other developments and roads. The water is coming from the last stage of Rimbey’s lagoon and McLauchlin feels if Encana were to test the water they could prove it’s clean. “Unless they can prove it’s clean I consider it a sewage lagoon.” “I’m sure Encana will comply but they’ll have to test the water before it leaves the town’s lagoon,” added Cutforth. Encana’s lagoon will benefit both the Town of Rimbey and Ponoka County because they’ll no longer have to split the $600,000 outfall cost associated with the town’s lagoon.
House fire: On the evening of Sept. 14, Rimbey Fire Department responded to a fire northeast of town. A smouldering mattress was causing heavy smoke throughout the house. Firemen removed the mattress and threw it in the yard where it continued to smoulder before bursting into flames. The fire department arrived in time to save the house, although there was smoke damage. APN Photo

Lor-Al Springs celebrates two decades of operation By Treena Mielke Lor-Al Springs Ltd, a successful family business in the heart of central Alberta, has been in operation for 20 years. To celebrate its longevity, the family decided to have a party Sept. 14, complete with water plant tours, lunch, face painting, balloons, live music and door prizes. About 300 guests attended the event held at the Lor-Al Springs plant northeast of Rimbey. Alvin Johnson, who established the water bottling business and still owns it with his Lorna and daughter Stacey, was pleased and proud to see so many friends and customers come out. Johnson enjoyed visiting with everyone and expressed his gratitude to Stan and Bonnie Wickberg for supplying the jumping castle and Les and Donna Stearns for bringing the tent, which added to the fun for the children. “It’s been a good do,” he said. Looking back, the amiable businessman and farmer recalled what prompted his decision 20 years ago to begin the water bottling operation as a way to subsidize his farm and provide an added income for his family. “I thought about having a trout hatchery but the water is too cold,” he said. “In those days bottled water was just coming into play, so I decided to give that a try.” “We thought dad was crazy,” said daughter Suerea Haymour. “What was he thinking? Nobody would buy bottled water.” Johnson didn’t listen to any naysayers. A 960-square-foot building to bottle the spring water that gushed out of the ground at a rate of 45 gallons a minute was built at the spring site. The plan was to bottle the high quality natural spring water at the source so it would not become contaminated. The plan worked and continues to work today. The water is intercepted before it comes to the surface and carried by a pipe through the ground to the building where it is bottled, capped and stored. “It is a hundred per cent closed system,” said Johnson. In its two decades of operation, Lor-Al Springs Ltd. has grown in size and popularity. The first building has long since been replaced and the new plant expanded four times. The 8,724 square-foot plant contains a wash/fill machine that has the capacity to bottle up to 450 bottles per hour. A machine automatically stacks the bottles into the racks. To keep up with the growing demand for bottled water, other changes have occurred over the years. A machine has been added to produce reverse osmosis water (water stripped of all minerals). The company now offers customers the choice of purchasing natural spring water, reverse osmosis water or premium drinking that which is mix of reverse osmosis water and natural spring water. Johnson said there is little difference in the taste of pure spring water and water that which has been treated with reverse osmosis. “It’s like the difference between butter and margarine,” he said. Sanitation of the bottles is crucial and several steps are taken to ensure the bottles are sterile before being filled. Any business is only as good as its employees and Johnson gives full credit to his team of workers. “We have a real good work crew,” he said. Throughout the 20 years Lor-Al Springs has been in business the company has employed three generations of family. Besides himself and his wife, Lorna, the present work crew consists of his daughter, Stacey, who oversees the operation of the company, grandson Ryan Nichol, who does marketing, sales and delivery, and Cara Cunningham who works in the plant ensuring the automated process of bottling the
water is carried out properly without any hitches. The benefits of drinking water from
Lor-Al Springs Ltd. are as crystal clear as the water itself. “It is always the same, it comes from
an underground aquifer and it stays absolutely consistent and it is not contaminated by the open air,” said Johnson.
Cara Cunningham sorts bottles at the Lor-Al Springs plant.

Incubator program could be used to encourage new businesses in Rimbey By Treena Mielke The chamber of commerce is formulating an action plan to bring more business to Rimbey and help give new life to the downtown core. Jackie Stratton, chamber president, said an incubator program successfully initiated in Rimbey Mountain House as part of the Rural Alberta Business Centre Pilot program has caught the eye of the chamber. “The program is hugely successful and we are interested in having a similar program here. It is certainly doable but there are lots of kinks to work out yet.”
The incubator program, managed by Michelle Andrishak, involves a number of small businesses set up in a building in a high traffic area in the centre of Main Street, Rocky Mountain House. The 2,200 square-foot building has large windows to provide exposure for the eight offices inside as well as a reception/retail area and a downstairs meeting room. The building was chosen for its location and because it was a turnkey opportunity. The incubator model is based on providing space for a variety of businesses and is not targeted to one
County approves rezoning despite objection to it By Amelia Naismith Despite neighbours’ objection, Ponoka County council has approved two rezoning applications submitted by the same landowner, Dennis Hopper. The first parcel of land, along Township Road 451 and Range Road 21, is four 40-acre sections being rezoned from agricultural to country residential hobby farm. County road access exists on the property but would need to be extended. “Every parcel has to have physical access,” explained CAO Charlie Cutforth. Derek Bolianatz, a landowner the north, had some concerns regarding the rezoning. “It also (has) a high pressure pipeline running through there, limited access . . . so I think there’s some concerns; at least I have some concerns as far as having four 40s back there. I don’t think it’s appropriate land for that
type of use,” he said. The second parcel of land, along the junction of Range Road 23 and Township Road 420, has three sections being rezoned from agricultural to country residential hobby farm to allow for future subdivisions of the sections. The two south sections along the township road have appropriate road accesses. Kim Purdy, agent for the applicant, says an access easement has been agreed upon for the north section. However, adjacent landowner Brendon Anderson says the access to the north section is a forced county road and he feels it wouldn’t be appropriate for residential traffic without upgrades. Anderson was also concerned a multi-lot development could harm his agricultural business. The rezoning to country residential hobby farm addresses these concerns because the rezoning won’t allow the multi development, said Cutforth.

Tenants, who can remain in the incubator for up to two years, have the opportunity to attend free workshops and seminars related to small businesses. “The ultimate goal of the incubator is to enhance economic development in the area. The growth and expansion of the businesses while in the incubator has also generated employment growth,” said Andrishak. While Stratton notes Rimbey does not qualify for the province’s pilot program, she believes a similar project could be initiated in Rimbey. “I could certainly see it here. I have talked to
the mayor and the town is 100 per cent behind the concept. It certainly would give small businesses the opportunity to test the waters when they are just starting out.” Stratton is talking to property owners about the concept and the issue will be discussed at the Oct. 15 chamber meeting. “Why can’t it work here?” she questioned. For the last decade, Alberta has led Canada in the number of new small businesses created. Small businesses are a vital part of Alberta’s economy, making up 96 per cent of all businesses in the province. They provide about 37 per cent of all private sector jobs in Alberta and contribute an estimated 29 per cent to Alberta’s gross domestic product.
RCMP use taser to subdue suspect Rimbey RCMP responded to more than 60 calls for service for the third week in a row. Highlights include careless use of a firearm, thefts, impaired drivers, suicide, uttering threats to kill, drugs, mental health and other criminal matters. Yippee ki-yay The week started with a bang — literally. Mounties responded to a complaint of an intoxicated man driving around in his farm tractor while shooting a shotgun randomly into the night air. Police arrested the man without incident and seized his firearms. He has been charged accordingly. Copper stolen from lease sites Officers are investigating a rash of copper wire thefts at oil lease sites west of Highway 22 along the North Saskatchewan River. Taser used to subdue suspect Police quickly responded to a 911 call reporting a man was acting strangely and may be a danger to himself or others. The adult male was quickly located on a street in Rimbey. The officers determined he needed to be apprehended and attempted to take the man into custody when he began to resist and used an object as a weapon in an effort to try to harm the officers. After a brief foot chase and struggle the man was taken into custody when officers discharged their conducted energy weapon (Taser) and safely made the arrest.

the driver subsequently lost control and crashed into the ditch. Fortunately, the driver was not seriously injured. However, he was high on drugs. This could possibly explain why he used the wrong hitch receiver. Police also seized a quantity of marijuana from the driver at the time he was arrested. The accused, a 42-year-old man from Red Deer, has been charged with drug possession and impaired driving. Burglar warned off On Sept. 19, at 2:10 a.m. someone broke into the auction mart just east of town. When the potential midnight shopper climbed through a window the “high tech” alarm went off. The would-be thief quickly fled the scene without any success of stealing anything. Police are actively following up on all leads in this case. Mounties converge on drunk driver During the breakfast hour on Sept. 20, Rimbey detachment received a tip that a possible impaired driver had taken off from a house in Rimbey and was likely heading back to Red Deer after consuming wobbly pops at a party the night before. Unfortunately, the possible drunk driver had at least a 10-minute head start by the time the Rimbey officer could respond. The culprit quickly learned you cannot outrun a radio. Officers from Blackfalds and Sylvan Lake detachments converged on Highway 20 and located the vehicle going south near Asplund Road. The driver was arrested by Sylvan Lake Mounties and charged with impaired driving. If you have any information regarding this or any other crimes, please call the Rimbey RCMP at (403) 843-2224 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, #8477 on Telus Mobility or *8477 on Rogers AT&T.

By Treena Mielke A new playground for Rimbey Elementary School has moved one step closer to reality thanks to the generous support of the community at the chili cook-off fundraiser. Held Sept. 13 at Pas Ka Poo Park, the event raised $1,000 for the playground. Principal Jodi Bramfield said the money raised at the chili cook-off brings the total raised through fundraising to just over $69,000, which is the targeted amount needed for a matching grant. Bramfield said confirmation as to whether the school has qualified to receive the matching Community Facility Enhancement Program grant is expected to be received no later than the end of October. “If we are declined, we will re-apply,” she said. “We are hopeful we will be successful, but it depends on how many other groups apply.” The money is to be used to replace the wooden play structure with a larger more age-appropriate structure and replace the pea gravel under the playground structures with a wood carpet that is wheelchair accessible. Thirteeen participants were in the chili cookoff. Subway’s chili was the winner and the cooks received a well-earned trophy for their dish. Second prize went to the Rimbey RCMP and the Rimbey Elementary School won third. The event was well attended and Bramfield said the community support was very much appreciated.

Kids see lots of things grownups don’t The Man with the Violin by Kathy Stinson and Dusan Petricic, postscript by Joshua Bell c.2013, Annick Press $19.95 U.S. and Canada 32 pages Chances are, you see lots of things grownups don’t. First of all, you’re down closer to the ground and adults are way up high. And then, remember, big people move faster and are always busy, while you’ve got more time to look around. Your eyes see all kinds of things but would you pay attention to something your ears noticed? In the new book The Man with the Violin by Kathy Stinson and Dusan Petricic, you’ll read about a boy who did. Dylan never missed a thing. He was a very observant person, but his mother?
Swooping bird: This little guy was looking for a better feeding spot. Photo submitted by Tim Day
She was not. She was always busy and rush-rush-rushing, so on that cold day in January when Dylan heard beautiful music in the subway, he wasn’t surprised that his mom said there was no time to stop and check it out. Dylan listened for as long as he could. The man with the violin moved with the sounds he was making, back and forth, like each note was taking him to another place. The music was much better than the “blibbity blabbity! Blah blah blah!” that was coming from the crowd or the growl that the train made. The music was sad and it was happy, it flew to the sky and back down again, like a very lovely bird. Dylan couldn’t get it out of his head. Going home, he asked his mother if
she thought the man with the violin might still be in the subway. His mother didn’t know who he was talking about. But later that day, once they were home, Dylan’s mother turned on the radio and he heard a beautiful sound! It was Terri much better than rain or Schlichenmeyer kitchen sounds or crowds The Bookworm or trains. It sounded beautiful and it made the room feel like it was suddenly filled with light. It was the man with the violin! The radio announcer said that the man was “one of the finest musicians in the world.” His name was Joshua Bell and he played his instrument in the subway — though not many people noticed. But Dylan did. He noticed, and the music made him happy… Yes, there is a real Joshua Bell, a violin virtuoso from Indiana who participated in an “experiment” in early 2007. What happened offers a subtle message for adults: take the time to see the world as your kids see it. Your children might not catch that message, though, and that’s okay. Authors Kathy Stinson and Dusan Petricic have plenty in this book for them, including illustrations that practically put a song on each page. I was totally captivated by those drawings, done in black-and-white with splashes of color to underscore what happens to little Dylan and his world. There’s a lot to see in here — for your child and you, both. This is the perfect book for curious kids, and for three- to seven-year-olds who love music or are already entwined with an instrument. Read The Man with the Violin, because it’s a book they’ll want to see.

Remembering Depression era lady minister in Hoadley By Treena Mielke
brought everything she owned. Apparently she did that so she had nothing to come back to. The new preacher held her first service at the Hoadley Pool Hall where she delivered her sermon behind a shipping crate that served as a makeshift pulpit. Boards were laid on nail kegs to serve as pews. Despite the conditions, which in no way, shape or form, resembled a church, 45 people attended that first
The year was 1934 and women were not often seen delivering God’s message from behind the pulpit. That didn’t stop 38-year-old Pearl Reist from packing up her belongings, rolling up her shirtsleeves and moving to Hoadley from Didsbury to become the town’s new preacher. Reist, no doubt a rebel in her own right, ignored the district superintendent’s advice to pack light and instead

service held June 10, 1934. Reist, who had a bachelor of arts degree from a university at Winona Lake, Ind. proved she was made of pioneer spirit; strong, resilient and with a kind and caring heart. Sometimes she would walk 10 miles a day to visit families. The minister became the bride of Nels Lemont in 1936. In later years she travelled by bus to teach courses at Mountain View Bible School in Didsbury, worked at the YWCA in Edmonton and was matron of high school girls in Medicine Hat. She died in 1956 and is buried in the Hoadley Cemetery. Her funeral was the first service held in the new unfinished church building built east of Hoadley beside the cemetery. For several years the church at Hoadley was called Lemont Memorial Missionary Church in her honour. While the homesteader’s cottage at Pas Ka Poo Park is not the home of Pearl and Nels Lemont, the log house was on their property and is similar to the house in which they lived. The house was partially built by Felix Edlund, a Swedish miner who homesteaded near Hoadley. However, when it was nearly finished Edlund left the area and the cottage sat unfinished for many years. The Kramer family bought the land the cottage was on and donated it to the park in the early 1970s. Continued on Page 17

Best judged Bentley yards for 2013 By June Norvila This year, out of those who entered the competition, the yard of Ken and Leslie Haarstad was chosen as the Best Dressed Town Yard. Their six-lot, almost full acre parklike yard, is a delight every year with its variety of trees, flowers, well kept lawn, pond features, and small vegetable garden. Winning Best Front Yard was Wes and Norma Lowery and winning Best Back Yard was Martin and Inga Schneider. There are many yards in Bentley that could qualify for judging but owners choose not to enter them in the competition, so next year show organizers hope to have a volunteer scout go around Bentley and ask for permission to nominate places and recognize more of the hard work and beautiful, well kept yards in Bentley.
Entries in the Bentley indoor horticulture show were down decidedly this year with only 52 entries for supposedly lots of reasons including poor weather, late growing season, hail storms, too much rain and apathy. The judge for the show was again Martha Kraus from Bluffton. Special prize winners included Sandy Turnbull from Bentley for her Floral Table Centrepiece and Jocelyn Szmacuarz from Lacombe for Best Rhubarb. Michelle Mackintosh from Lacombe won Best Rose and also Judge’s Choice Best Flower of Show with her yellow begonia. The Aggregate Winner was Bernice Kobluk from Lacombe. Third year show convener Dorothy Sherwood, with help from Joan Corrigan from Rimbey and Michelle Mackintosh from Lacombe, hope next year will be better and see an increase in entries.
COW bus fun and informative By June Norvila The community turnout to visit the Alberta Prairie Classroom On Wheels (COW) Bus was disappointing but those who did attend found it to be lots of fun, well planned out and informative. Bentley Municipal Library staff had gone to a lot of effort organizing and preparing for the recent COW Bus visit and having special guests attend. The COW Bus project is aimed at literacy awareness of children up to six years old with parents/caregivers. Upon entering the specially decorated Holstein cow ‘school’ bus, youngsters found games and toys to keep them busy and entertained that weren’t expensive, many that could be home made, and none that needed batteries. “Wildberry” from Red Deer decorated faces, and some arms, of the children with small hearts, flowers and vines and decorated on some moms too. A presentation of a Centre for Family Literacy library to the library that included more than 40 new children’s books was made by Megan Vander Griend, busing co-ordinator. On hand were Mayor Joan Dickau, who expressed how proud the town is of their library and what it offers to the community, and Coun. Lynda Haarstad-Petten. Vander Griend explained a love of reading is established very early in life
and is best introduced as early as possible — preferably during the first year. “They pick up on things so easily and so quickly at that age,” she says about children’s learning. “(Since working with the COW bus) I have seen more of Alberta over these past two summers than I ever expected and have visited places I had not heard of,” said Vander Griend. “I really enjoy it!” At lunch time there was an abundance of barbecued hot dogs, juice boxes, bagged potato chips and animal cookies. Kids made “Moo books” outside under one tent. It was like a card the kids glued a cow head inside and decorated and it had an operating mouth when the “book” was opened and closed. Inside the library, Mayor Dickau enjoyed reading a number of books to a small group of active listeners, and Rick Moore on guitar was there later to provide a sing-a-long. The Alberta Prairie COW Bus, funded by Alberta Enterprise and Advanced Education, will try to visit wherever requested and tries to visit 70 communities each year. For more information about the Bentley Municipal Library or any of its programs, including Tadpoles and Leapfrogs, call 403-748-4626 during regular hours.

to Europe, Russia has averaged 40mm of rain since Sept. 14, making things very, very wet for the comrades over there trying to push combines through the muck. Rain also keeps falling in Ukraine, which isn’t all that great for planting winter cereals and getting the current harvest getting done (the same feeling back in the Prairies with most areas getting some rain recently). Good rains continue to fall across most of Australia, helping relieve many areas with dry soil. The US Midwest also continues to receive precipitation, which ultimately points to good conditions for some winter wheat to get planted this year. If the Midwest continues to see more rainfall, we could see winter wheat acres jump up this year for our friends south of the 49th parallel. How’s that saying go? If you don’t stop dancing for rain, it’ll eventually come? Keep dancing if you’re looking for more then.

the oilseed crop getting planted down there. The AAFC came out recently and said they expect 30.7 million tonnes of wheat to be produced in Canada, in addition to the 14.8 million tonnes of canola expected to be taken off, which will help replenish depleted stocks. All in all, big numbers coming off the fields around the world continue to push a sideways-to-bearish trade in the markets. Canola may be supported by a smaller U.S. soybean crop but record rapeseed production is expected this year. The bigger supply will likely offset any increased demand that comes from buyer looking to substitute away from more expensive soybeans.

Ensure everyone gets home safely this harvest .The sun sets a little earlier each night, bringing the coolness of late Alberta summer, and thoughts turn to the fall harvest. For many Alberta farmers, this year’s crop looks to be a bountiful harvest. Bountiful, that is, assuming crops come off in good shape and on time — and bountiful assuming no one is injured in the process. “The safety conversation around “no one gets hurt” needs to be the first conversation, first action and first thought farm owners and workers have as they go to work each day,” says Kenda Lubeck, farm safety co-ordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Common discussion around the plan to avoid identified hazards and work to the optimum, not necessarily the maximum, should take place early and often in the harvest season to ensure everyone makes it home safely
each night.” There are many hazards to identify during harvest time. Outlined are some common hazards and actions on how to eliminate or minimize them: Operating huge harvest equipment – It’s no surprise the number 1 cause of injury or death to farm workers involves machinery and equipment. Those with the task of using equipment such as combines, swathers and tractors need to be properly trained. Proper training not only increases the operator’s skill and confidence in running the equipment but also instills a healthy respect for the size and amount of damage these types of machinery can do. Fatigue – Many farmers feel the need to push themselves for maximum production during harvest. Some see not getting their crop off in a certain amount of time as a bigger risk than making a poor choice due to fatigue. Noth-

ing could be farther from the truth. Farmers should plan for optimum production, which means they are harvesting at a rate that has maximum benefits to their health and production. This will minimize or eliminate all risks. To ward off fatigue, it’s important for workers to: • Get adequate sleep. This means parking your worries at the bedroom door and regularly getting a good night’s rest. • Eat nourishing food to keep your mind and body sharp. • Stay hydrated with plenty of water. • Incorporate some healthy activity in your day’s work. If you find yourself in the cab of a tractor for hours on end be sure to stop periodically and go for a walk to stretch out your muscles. • Plan for physical and Make this year’s harvest season the one mental demands.

Special Royal Purple guests By June Norvila Having so many members in their purple and white colors was impressive at the Bentley Royal Purple Lodge Sept. 9 meeting. Supreme Honored Royal Lady (SHRL) Margaret Brown from Lloydminster, was present. She is touring and visiting lodges in Alberta during September and in Saskatchewan during October as part of her national duties. “To keep increasing member-
ship is a priority,” Brown said, adding she wants to stress “Pride in our past, and Promise in our future.” Other guests included members from the neighboring lodges of Red Deer, Caroline and Benalto, and provincial second vice-president Esther Smith from Ponoka. Mayor Joan Dickau was also in attendance. Following the regular meeting that included a short address from Brown, all enjoyed a light lunch
and visiting. The Bentley Royal Purple usually meets the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Bentley Elks Hall. New and prospective members are always welcome to come and find out how the Royal Purple helps out in the community and to become part of a group that has been active for over 52 years. For more information call Julie Potter at 403-748-3816.
Hosted eldercare option for seniors By Treena Mielke Seniors who don’t want to live alone but are not ready to move into a lodge or manor may want to consider the option of moving in with a host family. Hosted eldercare, offered through Crossroads Eldercare Programs, matches an senior citizen with a caring family who has been screened and trained to meet that person’s individual needs. “It’s a great program,” said Marty Klipper, recruiter from foster parents and prospects for elder care for Crossroads Family Services. “And we are looking for homes in central Alberta including Rimbey, Sylvan Lake and Eckville.” Host family living includes all the benefits of living in a private home with a traditional family of a mom, dad, children and pets or a variation of that tradition. Living with a family and being part of the daily interaction that goes on within such a framework
has many benefits, said Klipper. “Research shows that the best way to age is in a family setting,” he noted. Elders are provided with their own private room and are encouraged to bring their own furnishings to help provide them with a sense of belonging and familiarity in their new surroundings. The benefits of living with a host family are many and topping the list includes providing companionship, social activities and meaningful involvement with others. As well as the social interaction, host families provide homecooked meals, laundry services and transportation for appointments with health care professionals. Host families are carefully screened and assessed to determine their ability to provide skilled, compassionate, respectful support for a senior living in their home. A host family is able to build-
ing meaningful relationships, manage issues and concerns with care, creativity and compassion and understand the elder’s need for independence and self-worth. “It’s like having an adoptive grandma or grandpa,” said Klipper. Host family requirements include a criminal record check, home assessment ensuring stability, willingness of all host family members, appropriate physical space, first aid/CPR, safety awareness and medication administration training and on-going training relevant to eldercare. Host families are provided with a support worker, 24-hour crisis line, resource and system navigation, consultation and problem solving and a daily stipend beginning at $50 per day for time, energy, expenses and care provided. For more information about the hosted eldercare program contact Michelle or Joanne at 1-780-4307715 or Marty at 403-505-7753.
