Community urged to support hockey provincials By Treena Mielke The Bantam C hockey provincials will be held in Rimbey next month and organizers are working hard to make sure it is a tournament that will be remembered. “Our motto is go big or go home,” said Stacey Johnson, team manager and chairman of the host committee. A total of eight teams will participate in the tournament to be held March 13 to 16. “We as the Bantam team are proud and ex-
cited,” Johnson said. “It promises to be very good hockey with the top team at that level from each zone in Alberta competing.” Opening ceremonies will be held Friday beginning at 6 p.m. with Mayor Rick Pankiw as master of ceremonies. During the ceremonies, each team will march into the arena and a lightshow will be part of the exciting scenario. Medals will be handed out after the final game, Sunday. Johnson said volunteers are very much needed. Anyone who wants to help out can leave

hockey jerseys. I think it’s a great opportunity for the town of Rimbey to showcase itself. Provincials are prestigious and there is a lot of hard work involved in hosting such a tournament.” Pankiw said he commends minor hockey and especially the Bantam Renegades for taking on that task. The Rimbey Bantam Cs are sitting first in their Tier with 16 wins, four losses and two ties.

Council approves financial support for the chamber’s incubator project By Treena Mielke The Town of Rimbey has put its support behind the chamber’s proposal to launch a program that could give fledgling businesses the roots to grow and finally, the wings to fly. Town council has given thumbs up to give Rimbey Chamber of Commerce $50,000 seed money for an incubator project, which works by providing a large commercial space, dividing it into smaller areas, and allowing small businesses to set up shop there for a two-year time frame. Businesses would be charged reduced rent, have access to mentoring services and receive promotional suggestions and encouragement. The incubator project is successful in other communities such as Rocky Mountain House. Mayor Rick Pankiw said members of council and administration researched the project carefully and believe it would be a benefit to Rimbey. “We think it’s a wonderful project,” said Mayor Rick Pankiw. It would be beneficial for businesses so they can get established and then move to their own store front eventually.” Michelle Andrishak, manager of the program in Rocky said government funding for the program helped the incubator project get off the ground, adding there were receptive business owners who were willing to participate. “We were fortunate. We had renters right off the bat,” she said. “We were ready to rock and roll in three months.”
The Rimbey and District Chamber of Commerce held its annual general meeting Feb. 19 at the Super 8 Motel. Pictured are Tonya Hatala, secretary, Phil Swanson, treasurer, Jackie Stratton, president, Christine Plumb, director and Carrie Vaartstra, executive assistant. Treena Mielke Photo Andrishak said she was pleased to help the renters become self-sustaining. “They were my chickens in a hen house. I really wanted them to survive.” While the businesswoman said she would be happy to help Rimbey in an advisory capacity, a manager would be needed to oversee the project. “I would be happy to act as an advisor and assist you in any way,” she said. “I can advise you, but you would manage it.” The project is simple, she said. “If you can’t afford a house, you get a
roommate. It’s simply a commercial version of that.” Chamber president Jackie Stratton said the chamber is excited to receive the seed money from the town. She said meetings are being set up, plans being put in place and partnerships looked at. “It’s just baby steps at this point, but we are optimistic the incubator program could work here. “I could certainly see it here. It certainly would give small businesses the opportunity to test the waters when they are just starting out.”
Some of the businesses in Rocky Mountain House who participated in the incubator program were Pure Healthy Essential Oils, That Game Store, KES Graphic Designs, Cougar Ridge Bookkeeping, Coldwell Banker Realty and Deep Reflections, a registered psychologist. For more information about the incubator program contact Jackie Stratton at 403-843-2727 or Carrie Vaartstra at 403843-2944.

By Treena Mielke Jackie Stratton will continue at the helm of the Rimbey and District Chamber of Commerce as president. The chamber held its annual general meeting at Super 8 Motel on Feb. 19 with about 25 people in attendance. During the meeting a slate of officers for the executive was voted in. Darrell Peters from Co-operators Insurance is the new vice president, Phil Swanson from Rimbey TV will remain as treasurer and as will secretary Tonya Hatala from Servus Credit Union. Directors are Steffen Olsen, developer, Christine Plumb from Body Connections and Ilya Dourmanov from ATB. During the meeting the board proposed changes for the bylaws which saw membership fees increase
slightly. As of Jan. 2012 the annual membership fee was $84. Proposed changes are $75 for rural residents, $95 for bronze members, $130 for silver members and $350 for corporate members. All membership fees are subject to five per cent GST. Other proposed changes included holding a term of office for one year and changing the fiscal year of the chamber to Dec. 31 from March 1. The changes are to be voted on after 21 days.

Thoughts on the Olympics As I write this column the men’s hockey team from Canada is playing the U.S. in the semi final game. It is a game lots of people will be watching, even taking time off from work, no doubt. But, I’m here. I’m Treena Mielke here in body, anyway. On The Other Side Here I am in this newspaper type little office with a computer screen in front of me, painstakingly tap, tap, tapping the keys and sipping lukewarm coffee from a styrofoam cup. Mostly, I’m wondering what the score is. And as I write this, Canada is now sitting in second place for medal wins. And I, along with Canadians everywhere, am feeling good, great, actually, that our country has done so well in the medal count. It almost makes you want to stand up and sing the national anthem or salute the flag or, at the very least, wear a sweatshirt with ‘C A N A D A’ splayed across the front in big bold lettering. I don’t ever remember feeling such patriotic pride since the year my husband and I traveled to Korea to visit our daughter who was teaching in Seoul. They like Canadians over there. In fact they nicknamed us Mr. and Mrs. Montreal. Obviously they had Canada and Montreal mixed up. Anyway, the Olympics, for me and probably lots of people, has brought back that fierce sense of patriotic pride that we didn’t even know we had. Thanks to the Olympics we found out! Anyway, watching our athletes step up to the podium to receive a medal seems to make me all proud and happy, like I am part of a great big family of winners. It is very cool. Mostly I just like the way the Olympics and Canada’s success at the Olympics kind of hovers over all of us in a good way; a positive way. My grandson, who is very wise in the ways of the world because he has reached a wise old age (he is five) has been watching lots of the Olympics on TV with his brother and his mom and dad. After observing some of the events he turned to his mom and said, “we are so lucky we can watch the Olympics on TV and we don’t have to
drive all the way to Russia.” Good point! I wish I had watched more of the events myself, but I seem to get all busy trying to be a grown up and finish my ‘to do’ list, or at least find it. But, the gym where I go to work out (mostly faithfully) has a TV in front of the treadmill. Every morning as I tread on the treadmill, I watch those amazing athletes on the hills or slopes or wherever they are over there in Russia. And even watching such athletic ability in action inspired me to try a little harder before I collapsed in a pathetic heap of exhaustion which usu-
ally takes less than 20 minutes. I understand that watching the Olympics has affected productivity at some work places. I know this to be true. I’m less productive at the moment, for sure, and the guy at the meeting I was at the other day who was watching the hockey game on some electronic device was definitely not in the room. But, still, for all of us Canadians out there, watching the Olympics has to be a good thing. I, for one, am proud, very proud. Now, I need to go find out the score of that hockey game! Go Canada go!
Remembering everyday heroes from childhood
Production: Red Deer, Alberta Published every Tuesday by PNG Prairie Newspaper Group in community with: Publisher: Fred Gorman
The Lone Ranger and my dad were my two heroes when I was in Grade 1 in Edmonton. The William Tell overture was the music that accompanied my imagination in the vivid scenes of the Lone Ranger, Tonto and myself riding horseback through the Mesquite Hills in pursuit of the bad guys. Although I could not have expressed it in precise philosophical terms at the time, I do recall a general sense of purpose or mission in these phantasmagoric adventures. My dad was a penitentiary of-
Don Ahlquist Guest Columnist
ficer, whom in my youthful world view, provided security, stability and comfort to my family and my neighborhood. On a snowy day in early winter, I was halfway home from school when I witnessed a small-scale criminal event. Two older kids were roughing up a younger and much smaller boy in a red snowsuit. I recognized the victim as a classmate and immediately heard the William Tell overture. This was my first call to duty and backup was not available.
I did remember that my black-and-white training films courtesy of the Lone Ranger TV show consistently demonstrated that offense was the best defense so I mounted up and attacked without plan or skill. As I charged towards them, the bullies must have decided that getting home in time for supper was more important than taking on this robust and obviously dedicated defender of the oppressed. A few things became entrenched in my psyche that day. Number one – odds are less relevant than they appear to be. Number two– If you must fight, fight for a cause. Number three – how you act defines who you are.

TOWN OF RIMBEY
DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINE Although the current Council was elected on a pro-growth platform, members of Council are committed to the long-term growth and development of Rimbey. The Town has adopted plans and policies that guide responsible development within the community to ensure future growth and development is sustainable, orderly, and efficient which will enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Rimbey. Plans adopted by Council are the Municipal Development Plan (MDP), the Town of Rimbey Area Structure Plan (ASP) and the Land Use Bylaw which are policies and actions that direct the Town’s growth and development in a responsible manner. Depending on the size of development a Developer may be required to do an Area Structure Plan that outlines the following, but is not limited to: • proposed new land uses in relation to adjacent existing land uses; • land use densities with the planning area (e.g. single family vs. medium or high density residential) • population densities arising from the proposed land uses; • road types, alignments, and right-of-way standards, • utility corridors; • connection of proposed road alignments and utility corridors with existing similar uses on adjacent land; • provision of municipal services, such as water, sewer and stormwater drainage, as well as utilities; school, community facility or church sites; • pedestrian facilities (e.g. walkways, sidewalks, pedestrian crosswalks, school crossings) and circulation; • park spaces • site constraints, such as a floodplain or contaminated site; • proposed standards, such as architectural controls; • phasing of development • rezoning (if required) • application for subdivision to the municipal planning agency If an application is approved by the Municipal Planning Agency, a letter outlining the conditions of the approval is provided to the applicant. These conditions typically include provisions for municipal reserve dedication and the requirement to enter into a Development or Servicing Agreement with the Town, but may also include requirements such as, but not limited to, registering instruments on the titles of the new parcels or providing physical access to the new parcels. These conditions have to be satisfied in their entirety prior to the Town signing the final plan of subdivision. Council within the MDP clearly indicates that “the developer pays” when new subdivisions and development occurs in a municipality and the Municipal Government Act allows the municipality to require the developer to pay for necessary infrastructure required within the development. Council has a policy in place to assist a developer by providing a development contribution for the upgrade or continuance of municipal improvements to the property line of the developer’s land based on 15% of the cost of municipal improvements to a maximum of $45,000, but all other infrastructure within the property are the responsibility of the developer. If the Town is satisfied that all of the conditions of the subdivision approval have been adequately met; the plan of subdivision is approved by the Planning Agency, the Legal Plan will be endorsed by the Town. This then the plan can be registered with land titles. Once the Legal Plan, instrument or descriptive plan has been endorsed, it can be registered at Alberta Land Titles. The transfer of titled lots cannot occur until this plan is registered. The endorsed documents must be registered at Alberta Land Titles within one year of the endorsement date by the Town. Once the plan is registered, a new Certificate of Title is issued for each of the new parcels. “The Town of Rimbey does not generally consider it appropriate to engage in a public dispute over land negotiations. In addition, Alberta law prohibits the Town from discussing financial details of negotiations. However, the letter from Alvin Johnson in the February 18, 2014 Edition of the Rimbey Review, regarding the proposed site of the future Rimoka Housing project does not tell the whole picture. Since the Johnsons have raised the issues in a public forum, the public deserves to understand the Town’s position. Mr. Johnson mentions the expenses they incurred in promoting development of their land. This is a normal outlay for profit-seeking enterprises. Of course, the Town has also incurred significant costs of its own for engineering, planning, legal and administrative services related to the negotiations. Essentially, negotiations between the Town and the Johnsons fell apart because the Town concluded that it was being asked to make excessively generous financial contributions to the servicing of the Johnson subdivision. While Council felt that the public benefit of the proposed development justified some concessions, it also recognized that there were limits. Taxpayers do not expect to see their tax dollars used to create profits for developers. When all is said and done, the obligation of Town Council is to spend tax dollars wisely. When it became apparent to the Town that unless it gave unreasonable financial concessions, there would be no agreement, Council reluctantly terminated negotiations.” Rimbey Town Council

“Farmers’ rights under threat” NFU says By Mustafa Eric Jan Slomp, president of Canada’s National Farmers’ Union was in Bluffton Hall on Thursday, Feb. 13, trying to raise awareness against what he called Harper government’s second major step to wrest power away from farmers to hand to big corporations. Slomp addressed a meeting of the area farmers to appeal to them to join the campaign against Bill-C-18 under which Harper government will
NEW: Woodstove/ Fireplace Door Glass
switch allegiance from UPOV 1978 to UPOV 1991, restricting the rights of farmers to save, store, clean and use seeds from their own crop in favor of big agricultural corporations like Monsanto which then will be able to make the farmers pay royalties for the use their own seed. UPOV is the French acronym for Union Internationale pour la Protection des Obtentions Vegetale (International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants), and it is an international convention that establishes rules for recognizing, ensuring and defining intellectual property rights of breeders of new plant varieties. From “right” to “privilege” Slomp said in interview that if the government does go ahead and switch commitment form UPOV 1978 to UPOV 1991, the farmers will have their thousands of years old traditional rights to keep seed from their own crop changed into a “privilege” which can be taken away without any legislation or any other legal process, just by a decision of an authority. According to Slomp, under UPOV 1991, a
plant breeder will have not only the right to claim royalties from a farmer for a particular crop for up to 20 years, but the breeder will also be able to dictate the amount of seed a farmer can save for the next season of planting. Slomp described this change as the second major blow to Canadian farmers after the dismantling of the single desk marketing authority of the Canadian Wheat Board. The draft legislation which comes as part of an Omnibus Bill, the Agricultural Growth Act will also diminish the function and role of Canada’s public plant breeding system financed by the farmers in the form “check-off”s and increase the role of private agricultural corporations and allow them to have a bigger say in what Canadian farmers will be able to grow.

Slomp said if the legislation is passed, farmers would have to pay a lot more for one of their main inputs in their farming operations. During his presentation to about two dozen farmers at the Bluffton community hall, Slomp made a reference to the case of Schmeiser vs Monsanto case (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_ Canada_Inc._v._Schmeiser) whereby a Canadian farmer, Percy Schmiser had to go up to the Supreme Court to defend his case that his field was contaminated with patented seed and that he had not intentionally used the Monsanto-produced canola seed in his 1997 planting season. Statistics Canada figures show that after the Schmeiser case, commercial seed expenses in the Prairies rose from an annual $150m to $400m.

Reader perplexed about message on bumper stickers Dear Editor, I can still find a significant number of the bumper stickers, the ones that say “Support Our Troops’, but I am perplexed as to what message that statement is meant to convey. Does it mean we are satisfied with whatever actions the troops take in their day to day activities or does it mean that the troops have earned our respect and that we appreciate they are doing a very demanding and sometimes dangerous job on our behalf? I am hoping for the latter, but recent news items would seem to indicate that perhaps we have just been giving lip service to our expressions of compassion toward these young men and women. I would have thought that anyone who took the job of defending our freedom and who might have suffered serious physical and mental health injuries as a consequence would be entitled to our deepest and most reverent respect. Through our elected officials we sanctioned their actions and have enjoyed the consequences of their sacrifices. And we seem to take a great deal of pride in their efforts which we commemorate at Remembrance Day ceremonies every November 11. But is that where our commitment should end? These veterans are not like Christmas decorations
that we can conveniently pack away until the next season. They should be permanent reminders of the cost of protecting our freedoms and way of life; they should, at the very least, be granted the best possible compensation and convalescence we can provide. Aside from the debacle that was the Minister Fantino affair, there is the ongoing struggle with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and suicides. Again there is an editorial piece on the CBC news net that questions why this issue has not been properly addressed. There are also issues concerning some living conditions for members of the Canadian Forces. Yet, despite all these failings we continue to see Support our Troops proudly displayed on bumpers and tailgates. Perhaps it’s time that we showed our true commitment and made some noise on behalf of those whose voice is neither loud enough nor carries enough weight. How much time and effort does it take to dispatch a short but poignant missive to your federal MP? Probably about as much as it takes to mount a bumper sticker. Dan Doram, Winfield
Women’s conference in Ponoka is welcomed Dear Editor, I read in the paper this week that the Ag Society is planning to start a Women’s Conference in Ponoka. I’m very happy to hear that. Ponoka (and Rimbey) used to both have a conference years ago and it was so nice to be able to pick and choose and go to one if you couldn’t make the other fit your schedule or treat yourself to two “me” days. Rimbey has been fortunate enough to continue their Women’s Conference for 28 years. February 5, 2015 will be our 29th and it draws women from the entire surrounding area; Lacombe, Ponoka,
Bentley, Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, Winfield, Buck Lake, Bluffton, Alder Flats and Breton. Camrose also has a very nice conference which some of our committee has attended. I believe these conferences are so very important for women to give themselves an opportunity to get together, learn new things, broaden their mindset or just simply treat themselves to a “fun” day away from their usual busy lives. Whatever your plans are for a Ponoka Conference, the best of luck to you. I am looking forward to a new conference to attend. Brenda Verheire

Olson recognized for 50 years in auctioneering business By Treena Mielke Being an auctioneer might be a dream job for lots of people, but not everyone makes it happen. Allen B. Olson made it happen. Olson was still a teenager when he made the decision to learn how to be an auctioneer. And, while many of his friends were still in school, he hopped on a train and traveled all the way to Iowa to learn how to be an auctioneer. And he did. Now, 52 years later he looks back on a career he very much enjoyed and one that he plans to keep on doing for many more years to come. “I enjoy it”, he said. “It’s been a good business for me to be in.” Olson is a hometown boy, born and raised in the Rimbey area. Before he went off to auctioneer-

ing school, he spent time around the auction mart, cleaning out the stalls and listening to pioneer auctioneers C. F. Damron and Russell Cole. After his formal training, he continued to learn under the direction of experienced auctioneers such as Damron and Cole. In 1968 he bought the Rimbey Auction Mart with his father Elmer and brother Glen. Last spring he sold the auction mart to Sekura Auctions of Drayton Valley, but he continues to sell machinery and real estate through Allen B. Olson Auction Services Ltd. Alberta Auctioneers’ Association incoming president Don Montgomery presented Olson with his 50-year plaque at the organization’s annual convention held in Red Deer recently.

Good turn out at Bentley byelection candidate forum By June Norvila Organizers were pleased with the attendance at the Bentley byelection candidate forum staged February 18 in the Bentley Elks/Legion hall meeting room. All three contenders - Cora Knutson, Greg Rathjen and Ray Williams - were front and centre ready to let the voters know where they stood on issues concerning Bentley. Cora Knutson, in her opening statement said “Why did I decide to run? Because I like Bentley” and added if elected she had the time to devote to the councillor position. Ray Williams opened with his feeling that “facts are sometimes hard to come by (from the town)” and feels taxpayers’ money is sometimes wasted. Greg Rathjen shared his “desire to serve the community” and said that because he understands
how council works, having served on council before, that would mean less learning time for him. Moderator Sandra Smith did a wonderful job introducing the contenders, laying out the rules governing the forum, and reading out the written questions. Many of the questions centered around how to gain more growth and development within the town. The audience was invited to put forward oral questions but none were forthcoming. In three-quarters of an hour it was all over and the approximately 30 people in attendance had seen the three in action and heard their responses. All of the current council, Mayor Lynda HaarstadPetten, Deputy Mayor Butch Howard, and councillors Robin Lemay and Pam Davey were in attendance listening to the councillor hopefuls. The forum was sponsored by the Bentley Municipal Library and the library society. Election Day was February 24 with the advance poll February 22.

Rimbey Regional Synergy Group keeps very active By Frank Kurta After about 14 years of operating in the Rimbey area under the name of Rimbey and District Stakeholders, we moved to the new name of Rimbey Regional Synergy Group, the RRSG. This was a giant step with unintended consequences. The difference is that we have moved from an unfunded volunteer group (originally initiated by concerned landowners), with a mandate to inform and share with the community and oil-gas industry, to a new reality. The mandate of the RRSG stayed the same, but a facilitator was hired. The companies were invoiced for operational funds, a bank account was established and a financial committee to manage the funds was formed. In December the RRSG was informed the facilitator was leaving to follow another career path. Subsequently, at the first meeting of the RRSG in 2014, a steering committee was formed to consider the policies and procedures for the RRSG. The committee consists of four landowners; Frank Kurta, John Chalack, Dennis Oelhaupl and Helen Karlstrom and industry representatives, Glen Kuzio and Amber Casey. The committee is to bring recommendations to the next general meeting. The RRSG website containing the minutes from the past year can be found at http://synergyalberta. ca?group/rimbey-regional-synergy-group The Rimbey Regional Synergy Group had their first meeting of 2014 at the Bluffton Hall on Jan. 16 at noon with 18 landowners, 16 industry and regulators, three municipal reps and two visitors present. The guest speaker was Gary Redmond, executive director for Synergy Alberta. Redmond provided information regarding synergy group structures as well as information regarding Synergy Alberta. Synergy Alberta was formed in 2006 with an elected board, non-profit status and is funded by Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers; Alberta Energy Regulator; Alberta Energy and a small portion from Alberta Agriculture. Synergy Alberta is in the process of developing more detailed guidelines. Suggested group structures: Geographic boundaries, focus on community wide interests (land use, environment, safety, nuisance issues, etc.) mission and vision statement, goals, group principles, roles and responsibilities, leadership positions, ground rules for meetings and committees, lines of communication, documentation, who can be a member, recruitment, etc. Next Synergy Alberta Conference to be held Nov. 3 to 5 at River Cree in Edmonton.

Snow cover has farmers feeling optimistic about potential hay and pasture growth As the February 28 deadline approaches for Ponoka County farmers to insure their pasture and hay land this year, above-average to normal snow cover across most of the province has many livestock producers feeling hopeful about the potential growth they’ll get on their hay and pasture once the snow melts this spring. “We had a dry fall in many parts of the province with very limited moisture in September and October, but the producers I talk to are feeling encouraged by the amount of snow we’ve gotten so far this winter,” says Barry Yaremcio, a provincial beef and forage specialist with the Alberta Ag-Info Centre. Dry Soil Conditions Beneath the Snow While the deep snow has been challenging for some producers – preventing cattle from swath grazing or winter grazing earlier in the season than usual – it should help offset dry soil conditions that lie beneath the snow in many regions – depending on how it melts, says Yaremcio. “If we get a slow melt and the ground takes up most of the moisture, it should help kick-start growth on our hay and pastures this spring. But if we get a quick melt, most of that moisture will likely run off and collect in the sloughs and creeks with minimal benefit to the dry soil,” he explains, adding 10 inches of snow is equal to about one inch of water.
$4.4 Million Paid on Hay and Pasture Insurance Claims Last year, dry conditions in early spring and late summer triggered more than $4.4 million in hay and pasture insurance claims in some areas across the province, including Ponoka County, says John Kresowaty, with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC). AFSC is the Crown corporation that provides crop insurance to Alberta farmers on behalf of the provincial and federal governments. “When the rain finally came in late May and June, we ended up with strong growth on hay and pasture in most regions,” says Kresowaty. He notes last year’s total payout is among the lowest in more than a decade due to favourable precipitation and good growing conditions in June and July. The highest payout years for hay and pasture insurance were during the droughts of 2009 when $56 million was paid in claims, and 2002 when $89 million was paid out. In Ponoka County, provincial moisture maps show that soil moisture beneath the snow as of late January is generally moderately low to low. Snow cover is generally high to extremely high. Perennial hay and pasture crops depend on plenty of moisture early in the spring for healthy growth, says Grant Lastiwka, a provincial livestock forage business specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD). “As a general rule, 70 to 90 per cent of the yield potential of pas-

So while snow melt can help, getting adequate spring moisture and rainfall during April, May, and June ultimately determines whether producers will get good production on their hay and pasture each year, says Lastiwka. Of course, nobody can predict what will happen this spring, says ARD provincial soil moisture specialist, Ralph Wright. “It could be wet or the snow could melt quickly and things could turn hot and John Kresowaty, with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation says dry.

Sled/quad rally draws hundreds By June Norvila
Bentley was inundated with quads, snowmobiles, and trucks and trailers loaded with them, parked anywhere there was room on February 15. Photo by June Norvila
Bentley was inundated with quads, snowmobiles, and trucks and trailers loaded with them, parked anywhere there was room on February 15. The weather was wonderful, almost too warm, for the thirteenth Monkey Top Saloon sled/quad rally, and because the snow had settled during the previous two weeks of above zero temperatures, many more quads were able to participate than had been expected what with December’s record snowfall. There were 319 registered. Monkey Top owner Becky Kasparsons was very pleased and a couple of days later was still recovering from the hectic activity.
Participants started going out just after noon from the Monkey Top Saloon, and after making a loop on Gull Lake, had to return to the Monkey Top by 5:00 p.m. to qualify for the five $1,200 prizes. The high hand was won by Todd Blundell and the low hand by Ryan Goietz. Three mystery hands were won by Shauna Sauer, Darren Tam, and Lauren Doucette. The volunteers who helped out with the rally and people who support the Monkey Top and its events were acknowledged. Door prizes were handed out throughout the evening and there was live entertainment.

Rimbey Drop In elects executive By Treena Mielke Doreen Glanfield has taken over as president of the Rimbey and District Drop In Centre. Glanfield, who held the position a few years ago, was reinstated at the Drop In’s annual meeting held Feb. 11. “I would like to thank everyone for their support and I’m looking forward to being back at the helm,” she said. Anyone who has questions or concerns or simply wants more information about the Drop In Centre should contact Glanfield at her home. “New ideas and new members are what it takes to make an organization great,” she said. “Members felt that waiting much longer might lead to serious problems,” she said. Other executive for the Drop In Centre is vice-president Grace McCrindle, treasurer Lucille Troutman and Bernice Birtsch. New directors are Murray Orm-
berg, Norma Woods and Gladys DeGray. Directors with one year left on their terms are Ken Holland, Pat Muddle and Bernie Wolkowski. Also at the AGM it was decided to purchase a new metal roof for the centre to be installed this year. “Members felt that waiting much longer might lead to serious problems,” Glanfield said. The Drop In would not be successful without all the volunteers who pitch and help with the various activities, said Glanfield. “It is important to recognize and thank the numerous people behind the scenes, running the card games each week, putting on bonspiels and tournaments and looking after the dances and floor curling and helping out in the kitchen,” she said. She also thanked the outgoing executive, president Lorraine Jarl, vicepresident Gladys Johnson and directors Vivian Mulligan, Monte Haslam and Brenda Mounteney. JOIN US ON

Cameron organizing Return to Normandy to mark 70th anniversary of D-Day by Treena Mielke Allan Cameron is convinced he was born in the wrong era. When he listens to the stories of Canada’s World War II and Korean veterans he hears them not only with his ears, but with his heart. As they talk, he goes back there with them, to the days when they were young and brave and faced gunfire and dodged bullets, showing grit and courage, even though they walked hand-in-hand with fear and danger every day. When they talk of their fallen comrades, tears running down their leathered cheeks, their eyes full of pain, their sadness tugs at his own heart strings. And he knows their stories must be told, before it’s too late, before the great sacrifices they made remain buried forever. To keep Canadian history alive and follow his own passion, Cameron, from Sylvan Lake, has created a website called Veterans Voices of Canada. Since 2006 he has recorded more than 700 interviews with veterans and has a waiting list. “I’m a firm believer Remembrance Day should be every day, not just Nov. 11,” he said. Cameron’s uncle, Perley Cameron, a D-Day veteran, gave him inspiration to keep going with

his work. Sadly, his uncle passed away before he was able to complete an interview with him. This year, the 70th anniversary of D-Day and the invasion of Europe, Cameron has formed a group called Return to Normandy 2014. The group is to consist of veterans from Nova Scotia Highlanders and North Nova Scotia Highlanders (World War II veterans) and re-enacters who will travel to France in June. Also included in the group is volunteer BBC videographer Martin Jones as well as the Nova Scotia producer Frank Clifford, who is volunteering his time towards the Nova Scotia production part of it. “We are working on having videographers, re-enactors and VIPs from Normandy attend and participate as well,” he said. The group will travel to France in June to perform wreath laying and Remembrance ceremonies at several significant towns that the North Nova Scotia Highlanders (NNSH) were instrumental in liberating in the opening days of the invasion of Europe. The group will also perform Remembrance ceremonies at cemeteries and memorials including the Abbaye D-Ardenne where 13 NNSH’s were murdered in June 1944. Also invited to be part of this journey is 1st Battalion Nova Scotia Highlanders (N) RSM (ret) Ray Coulson of Amherst. Coulson has spent more than 20 years building, maintaining and promoting the regimental museum at the Col. James Layton Ralston Armouries in Amherst. To help raise money for the Return to Normandy project, fundraising drives are ongoing and Cameron personally donated 1,000 DVDs of his production, The Fighting North Novies; Into the Fire. “It (the DVD) is part of the story of the North Nova Scotia Highlanders in Normandy in 1944.

-The DVD cover of The Fighting North Novies; Into the Fire with commemorative Highlander helmet story was inspired by my uncles who were NNSH’s (one is buried in France).” The DVDs are available via Internet sales. Donations and sponsorships are also encouraged. All funds raised will got towards tour costs as well as accommodation and travel while in France to and from ceremonial tributes. Any leftover funds will be used to assist the regimental museum in Amherst with its historical displays. A video tribute will be made of the journey. Cameron said marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day is important. “This initiative is more than likely our last chance to offer tribute to our D-Day veterans on the French soil having them beside us.”
Return to Normandy is a special dedication to the NNSHs, but all veterans are invited to take part. “In the end, it is a tribute to all our veterans. We need to make them proud and understand that we are not going to forget what they did for us.” For more information on the Return to Normandy 2014 project follow it on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/returntonormandy?ref=hl Cheques or money orders may be sent to: Return to Normandy 2014, c/o Allan Cameron, 94 Wildrose Dr., Sylvan Lake, Alberta, T4S 2L8 or by e-banking money transfer to alcammy@hotmail.com For more information contact Allan Cameron at 403-8877114 or northnoviedvd@gmail. com or George Manthorne at junobeach2014@gmail.com
