Newcomer to politics shows interest in running for MLA By Treena Mielke

Pieter Broere from Rimbey plans to run as a candidate for MLA for the Wildrose Party for the Rocky Mountain House-Rimbey-Sundre riding when an election is called. Photo submitted

A Rimbey area resident with a love for his country and a passion for politics has decided to take a pro-active approach towards letting his name stand as an MLA for the Wildrose party in the Rocky Mountain HouseRimbey-Sundre riding. Pieter Broere said he needs 250 signatures to back him so the Party will accept him as a candidate when a nomination election is called. Broere, who immigrated from Holland in 1977 has watched the political scene carefully from the background. “The hardest thing to do is to challenge the incumbent, but I believe there needs to be a change,” he said. “Our constituency needs a better representation than what we have now. There is no harmony and I see tax dollars being wasted over all this bickering.” Broere, who is self employed and works in the construction and communication industry sees central Alberta as a land of opportunity.

“There is opportunity all around us. I love it here. I am a true Albertan, I believe it is the best province in Canada.” Broere is a strong advocate of promoting the constituency, and he believes that taxpayers work extremely hard for their money. “They work hard to make a living and they work extra hard to pay their taxes. It never stops. An MLA needs to listen to and encourage the people in his or her constituency.” Broere worked on the oil rigs in the Sundre and Rocky Mountain House area when he first came to Canada. He then became a dairy farmer, an occupation he kept for 23-years. The local resident is married to Erin Wall and the couple have two daughters, Lyric, 17 and Zephyr, 10. He said he has no idea when Wildrose will have an nomination election, but plans to obtain enough signatures to let his name stand when the time comes.

Rimbey receives funding for new and improved senior’s housing By Treena Mielke The federal and provincial governments have given the official nod. It’s true. A total of $13.3 million, has been approved for affordable housing for low-income seniors in Rimbey. The announcement was made Wednesday and in the next few months planning will be ongoing to make sure the project gets off the ground as quickly as possible.

Bethany CAO Denis Beesley said Rimbey residents can expect to see some action happening regarding seniors’ housing early next year. “There will be something started by next spring,” he said. “Whether it’s a hole in the ground or renovations at the existing manor, progress will have started.” A 40-unit senior’s lodge is to be built on land south of the Best Western. Ponoka County purchased 8.54 acres of land from SJC Development Corporation for

$310,000 for the new lodge. As part of the project, 63 units at Parkland Manor will be renovated into 37 larger units. To fund the project, Rimoka Housing Foundation will receive $11.2 million in joint funding from the Governments of Canada and Alberta with an additional $2.1 million in funding from the province through Alberta Social Housing Corporation surplus earnings, for a total of $13.3 million.

The formal announcement that $13.3 million to go towards affordable housing has been approved was made last Wednesday. The announcement was made by Blaine Calkins, Member of Parliament for Wetaskiwin, on behalf of the Honorable Candice Bergen, Minister of State (Social Development), and Greg Weadick, Minister of Municipal Affairs.

The Rimbey Review, May 27, 2014 3

Funding here for new lodge and renovations Continued from page 1 McLauchlin and Rimbey Mayor Rick Pankiw both appeared happy to be able to share it with the residents. “Finally,” said McLauchlin. “We can finally make this announcement. We stand on the shoulders of many great people that brought this to us,” he added. “We look forward to working with government and our stakeholders to renew our lodge spaces in Rimbey that will ultimately give our residents a better quality of life and continue to be a great community asset for the next generation of seniors.” “It’s amazing what we can do when our community pulls together. I would like to thank former councils and Rimoka Board members for all their due diligence in making this become a reality today,” added Pankiw. Greg Weadick, Minister of Municipal Affairs said 70 per cent of the lodges in Alberta are in rural areas. “It is exciting. It means couples can stay together and not have to leave the community.” The partnership formed with other levels of government and Rimoka

Housing was a crucial factor in the end result, he said. “The partnerships were critical to making this work. I’m grateful we could make this a reality.” MP Calkins said funding renovation projects like this one is a great way to get the local economy moving, because it puts construction workers and trades people to work quickly. “These units will be more than just safe and affordable places to live. They will be key to a better life for the residents who will call them home.” Calkins noted Parkland Manor has been an important part of this community since 1972, providing affordable housing, meals and other services to residents, as well as opportunities to en hence their physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual well-being through a variety of life-enriching activities. “By providing more rental options for local seniors, these new housing nits will contribute to the economic and social well-being of the entire community.”

The announcement of $13.3 million was made at a special presentation at Parkland Manor in Rimbey last week. Taking part in the announcement was Ponoka County Reeve and Rimoka chairman Paul McLauchlin, board member and Rimbey town councillor, Einar Olsen, Tim Faulkner, Rimoka board member and Ponoka town councillor, Jack Webb, Rimoka board member and Rimbey town councillor. In the front is Mathew Jaycox, Rimoka board member and Rimbey town councillor, Mayor Rick Pankiw, who is also a Rimoka board member, MP Blaine Calkins and Minister of Municipal Affairs, Greg Weadick, Denis Beesley, CAO Bethany Group, and Rick Bonnett, mayor of Ponoka and Rimoka board member.

Residents have unanswered questions about future plans By Treena Mielke Residents of Parkland Manor were silent when they heard the news that $13.3 million had been approved to upgade the existing lodge and build a new one.

However, once the cake and coffee had been served, and the dignitaries had left the building, the news flash spread like wildfire as residents pondered many unanswered questions. Parkland Manor is a home to

these people. For some, it has been their home for many years. The fact that changes are forthcoming, even if it is positive, leaves many unanswered questions. Residents had been told to meet in the dining room at 10 a.m. last Wednesday because they were going to hear some good news. They did what was asked of them and they weren’t disappointed. Blaine Calkins, member of Parliament for Wetaskiwin, on behalf of the Honourable Candice Bergen and Greg Weadick, Minister of Municipal Affairs, assured them $13.3 million was approved. The funding is to go to fix up the existing lodge and build a new one. While plans still appear hazy, the dollars are in place, and Bethany CAO Denis Beasley says planning will begin immediately and work will be underway by next spring. The new lodge is to be built on county land located south of the Best Western Hotel. Some residents say they are happy with the status quo. “I don’t think I’ll ever use a new facility,” said resident Ruth Casey. “I’m 90-years-old and I’m comfortable here. They have wonderful staff.” “It will be good, but I’m not complaining about this one,” said resident Art Schell. Beauchamp Colclough, who was visiting his mother-in-law Eileen Dunn, a resident of Parkland Manor said he sees the project as “fantastic. It will make a huge difference.” Resident Brian MacKilligan also seemed excited about the proposal.

However, when construction would begin and how long it would take to complete, what happens to the existing lodge and where the new lodge is to be located are questions that residents still ponder. Mayor Rick Pankiw assured residents he would be available for any questions they may have. “My door is always open,” he said. Rimoka board chairman Paul McLauchlin said the goal of the board is to continue to work with the residents, staff and other agencies to ensure the transition moves ahead as seamlessly as possible. “We will continue to have regular meetings with residents and staff to update them,” he said.

OPINION

Author inspires others Thursday was a busy, busy day for me. There was deadlines. There were people phoning in at the last minute to tell me newsbreaking stuff that should have been front page after I already had the front page done. Treena Mielke There were stories On The Other Side to write, cutlines to write and the correct spelling of names to check and re-check. Mostly there were pages to fill; huge blank pages that screamed for news, not ads. Years ago a wise man, a well seasoned newspaper man who not only lived during the days of hot lead, but actually worked with that archaic tool, told me journalists had one purpose and one purpose only. “You fill the white spaces between the ads, that’s what you do,” he said. I had a peculiar fondness for the old man, who was gruff and short with words, and very handy with an exactor knife. I met him during the days of cut and paste and light tables and dark rooms and broad sheets. I met him when us newspaper types wrote the stories and then ran them through some kind of machine that no longer exists. The stories came out sticky and in columns and we carefully placed those columns on pages laid out on light tables. We used the exactor knife to cut the columns in straight lines, a job I was never very good at. The pages were then ‘shot’ in the back and then the negatives were laid on the light tables and we opaqued all the white dots on them with this curious little red marker.

When that was all done, we drank black coffee, smoked furiously, and waited for the next assignment. Then we started over! But then computers came and cut and paste and light tables and negatives became obsolete. Unfortunately, cigarettes did not. I entered the front door of the newspaper world just before all those things went out the back door. Luckily Jim, who was a press man and worked in production and seemed very old to me, took me under his newspaper wing and in the days when editors yelled a lot and production people did as well, he was kind to me. I remember his kindness to this day, and when I was fortunate to receive recognition from

the AWNA for a column I wrote years ago, I only wished he were alive so I could tell him. But, getting back to Thursday. It was busy. I was behind. No doubt, it was my fault and I had procrastinated somewhere along the way, being unrealistically optimistic about my time and energy. Regardless, I had to fill the white space between the ads, and I had to do it to the relentless tick of the deadline clock. Needless to say, I did not really want to take the time to go listen to William R.T. Boulton talk about his book, ‘I Miss Me’. “I know quite enough about MS,” I mused to myself. “In fact, I know more than enough.” But, I needed the story so I went.

I’m glad. Anyone of us who has had a brush with MS knows about it. We don’t need to hear the facts. We don’t need to hear the stories. We don’t need to hear about miracle cures that sound too good to be true simply because they are. But any of us, whether we are affected by MS or not, need to hear about courage and faith and moving forward with a smile and a cheerful attitude when there is absolutely no reason to do so. That’s what William R. T. Boulton did. In spite of all odds, he never gave up. And, in so doing, he created the butterfly effect. And inspired others! And for that, I will always and forever be grateful!

Village – Parents – Child Not too many years ago it did not take a village to raise a child. It took a father and mother who were willing to invest the time and effort necessary to raise up a human being to the point where that person was a valued asset to the “village”. There is a pervasive trend in society today that encourages parents to morally relieve themselves of their responsibility to raise their own children knowing that the village will provide social programs to act as ersatz parents who will quietly assume the parental role in default. I level no criticism at all on these programs or those who administer them. My complaint is directed at those who take an immoral advantage of this social provision and abuse the taxpayers generous support (and indeed I wish it could be even more generous). A line from a well-known song

says “the first love is misunderstanding and the greatest” and when misapplying Hillary the first love is alcohol, Clinton’s book titled drugs, gambling addic“it takes a village to tions or any other perraise a child” (the title version, the individuals itself is alleged to be who are supposed to a plagiarism of an old benefit from that love, African tribal proverb) the children, are immeI must assert that I am diately and often tragiaddressing the much Don Ahlquist cally affected and ultimore immediate and mately lose the most. local issue of personal, When natural affamilial responsibility. fection is lacking, chaos ensues and What truly loving father among entropy prevails.

I can certainly understand how parents feel psychologically overwhelmed and functionally debilitated by the general malaise of ingratitude and the media driven attack on their dignified purpose. Fathers are portrayed to be comedic buffoons. Mothers to be self-referential shrews and children to be agents of chaos licensed by a parental surrender to the new religion of “me”. When anyone who aspires to higher values find themselves in opposition to those who have no moral certitude, we can view it as an opportunity to engage in collegial and hopefully remedial discussion. I, in the most literal sense, thank God that the battle has not yet been lost. Some wounds to the family structure have been sustained but none so far are fatal. Don Ahlquist

reasons why you should advertise in your local newspaper

1.CREDIBILITY

Polls show people believe newspapers offers the most believable advertising. The offer is there to be read over and over again. It doesn’t intrude uninvited and then vanish.

2.ASSURANCE

Our newspaper circulations are verified and audited. Tearsheets verify that an ad ran as scheduled. Advertisers have tangible proof that their ad reaches their audience. Radio and TV can’t offer this tangible proof.

3. PERMANENCE Newspapers allow readers time.

Readers have the time to digest and consider an advertising offer at their leisure. Consumers need not be in the right place at the right time to see or hear the advertiser’s message. Studies prove that our papers are kept longer than a week and are read by more than one person in a household.

4. LOCAL COVERAGE Newspapers occupy a unique

position in reader’s lives. Newspapers contain news on local people and events, while providing the most reliable source of in depth local coverage of everything in your community, including what businesses are offering this week.

5. ECONOMY

Cost per thousand is very competitive, but the results of good newspaper advertising are the best measure of its benefit.

6. LOCAL INVESTMENT No other medium can compare to a newspapers continued service to the local community. An advertising order is an investment by the advertiser not only in their business but in the community.

Volunteers and equipment needed for motocross track in the town of Rimbey By Treena Mielke

A few enthusiastic volunteers are working hard to help Rimbey’s motocross track be the best it can be, but more help is needed. Spokesperson Ian Giebelhaus is excited about the track and the potential it has to provide hours of entertainment for bikes and quads. “The good news is the track is open and it’s being fixed up. It is a fantastic facility for the community and people come from far and wide to use it,” he said. On the flip side, the track is in need of dirt work and the committee is looking for wood, compost, chips or sand and/or equipment such

as tractors, discs or cultivators to get the work done. Volunteers are also needed to help with track maintenance. The track is a locked facility. Membership fees are $100 per year for an individual and $200 per family and are available at Fas Gas. Day passes are also available. “Members are encouraged and expected to put in some volunteer time at the track,” said Giebelhaus. The Turbo Brothers Honda Motocross Track is part of Central Alberta Raceways which also include a quarter mile drag strip, race oval, demolition derby and mud bog.

Rimbey youth qualify for Alberta High School Rodeo finals By Treena Mielke Three Rimbey youth have qualified for the Alberta High School Rodeo finals coming up in Ponoka next month. Sam Smith qualified for barrels and team roping and her sister Kennedy will compete in pole bending, break-a-way roping and pole bending. Also moving on to compete in the finals in bull riding is Cawl Braithwaite, 18, from Rimbey.

He has been out of rodeo action for the last three events after being injured in Camrose. “A bull stepped on me in Camrose. It wasn’t a real bad injury, I fractured a little bone in my back, but I’ll be alright by the time finals come around.” Despite being out of commission for the last three rodeos, Braithwaite is sixth in the standings. “I started rodeoing when I was 12. I won finals the first year I competed, but last year I didn’t go anywhere.” Although Braithwaite didn’t compete in Rimbey, he helped in the

shoots, flanking bulls. The Grade 12 student at West Country Outreach School plans to attend college in Casper, Wyoming on a rodeo scholarship. Sam Smith, who will also graduate from the Outreach School received a scholarship to attend Eastern New Mexico University in August where she will study environmental science.

Home drywall damaged by snow build-up on roofs Dear Editor, While painting houses this spring, I’ve noticed an unusual, new problem. Heavy snow loads on roofs have caused weight-bearing walls to temporarily bow, leaving numerous screw-pops on the drywall. These appear as little round bumps along the stud-lines, on exterior and other weight-bearing walls. Every house always has a few but lately I’ve been finding some walls where almost every screw has popped. This demonstrates how much weight of snow we got and how unprepared we’ve been. I’m sorry to bring this news, so to speak, after the horse has left the barn but I want to give the heads-up, in case it happens again. I have not seen nature-induced drywall damage on this scale in over 30 years on the job. Please protect your home with your shovel! I’m not an expert on snow-loads but carpenters and architects are. The estimators in our lumberyards may also give good advice on how much snow is too much. How to fix it, free. Hit the screw-pop flat-on with a hammer, to countersink it back into the wall. Try to make it one good, firm smack. You’ll soon catch on. Now prod the dent you’ve made lightly, with a putty-knife. Gently remove anything loose. If the whole bump comes out, that’s OK. You’re going to fill that. Inspect the hole. Has the drywall screw gone all the way through the board? If so, remove the screw and reinsert it an inch or so higher or lower on the stud. Screw it down just slightly lower than the wall. Using a putty knife, push All-Purpose Drywall cement into the holes, NEED A

then scrape off any excess to minimize sanding. Please do not use Spackle or Polyfilla, because they’re harder to sand. The lumberyards sell little pails of drywall mud. Before mudding, squish the mud with your putty knife until all air-bubbles are gone, to prevent them leaving holes in your finished product which paint will not hide. Let your patches dry overnight. Then sand the patches with a block sander, to keep them flat to the wall. You can make your own sander out of a tiny piece of 2X4, with sandpaper wrapped around it. You need to fill & sand 2-3 times. Feel the sanded patches, to see if they’re level with the wall. Then dig out the leftover latex paint you once used on that wall, stir it up and prime every patch with it. Allow to dry, then sand & repaint the wall as you normally would. Strips of cardboard make handy, free, home “drop-sheets.” Now you’re done. Shovelling tip. My roof is not designed to handle much snow, so I shovel it a lot, with a regular, plastic snow-scoop. I tip the handle of the shovel slightly downward, so the edge of the shovel points up a little, instead of scraping the roof. This leaves a tiny amount of snow on the roof but the shovel slides easier and it doesn’t reduce the life of the shingles. Thank Heaven it’s spring! I hope this will be helpful. Ralph T. Kenney.

Vision loss in Canadians can usually be treated May is Vision Health Month, and the Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO) and Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) Alberta and North West Territories are teaming up to prevent vision loss by reminding Albertans to have an annual eye exam performed by a doctor of optometry. “Seventy-five per cent of vision loss can be treated or prevented,” says Dr. Kevin Hesterman from Rimbey Eye Care. “People often mistake good vision for good eye health, leaving many susceptible to living with an undetected eye disease.” The CNIB estimates that over 100,000 people in Alberta and over one million in Canada are living with blindness or vision loss, which is more than the number of Canadians with breast cancer, prostate cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s combined. “Our population is aging fast, and as we age, we become more susceptible to developing a major eye disease,” says John McDonald, Executive Director and Regional Vice President of CNIB Alberta and Northwest Territories. “Without action, the number of Canadians with vision loss has the potential to double within the next 25 years.” The CNIB estimates that vision loss costs Canada’s economy $15.8 billion per year and believes this number will exponentially increase as our population ages. “Many of the eye diseases that cause vision loss can be treated if they are detected early,” explains Dr. Hesterman. “But because many are symptomless in the beginning, by the time people seek treatment, it’s often too late.” The following five eye diseases and conditions are the leading causes of vision loss in Canada. Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): In the earliest stages, macular degeneration is entirely symptom free. The most common initial

symptom is slightly blurred central vision when performing tasks that require you to see detail. Cataracts: Cataracts develop without pain or redness. Some indications that a cataract may be forming include blurred or hazy vision that cannot be corrected by changing your prescription, or the feeling of having a film over your eyes that does not go away with blinking. Diabetic retinopathy: Diabetes and its complications can affect many parts of the eye. Diabetic retinopathy occurs when there is a weakening or swelling of the tiny blood vessels in the retina of your eye, resulting in blood leakage and the growth of new blood vessels. Glaucoma: Glaucoma is almost always symptomless. Your doctor of optometry will perform a simple and painless procedure called tonometry during your routine eye exam, which measures the internal pressure of your eye to check for glaucoma. Refractive errors: People with Myopia (nearsightedness) will often have trouble seeing the whiteboard, the television set or other distant objects. People with Hyperopia (farsightedness) often experience difficulty in concentrating and maintaining a clear focus on near objects. These five diseases and conditions can be treated and in some cases prevented by visiting your optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam on an annual basis. The AAO and CNIB also recommend Albertans wear UV-protective sunglasses all year round, quit smoking, exercise regularly, control diabetes and maintain a healthy diet, which are also important steps for maintaining healthy eyes. To book an eye exam with a doctor of optometry today, visit: http://www. optometrists.ab.ca/find-an-optometrist

Winfield Gait Riders 4-H club report news The past few months have been super busy getting ready for show season. We had our level testing in April for anyone wanting to test up to their next level. Congratulations to all the members who tested and moved on. Great job girls. We also had Doctor Pat from Burrage Vet Clinic come out for a vaccination demonstration of how to give a vaccination and why it is a good thing to do. A huge thank you to Pat for this it was very informative. May has been a very busy month riding, organizing stall decorations, clipping, brushing, practicing trail obstacles and showmanship moves. At this time I would like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing instructors that have shared their expertise throughout the 4-H year. Thank you Kathy Judson, Terri Larsgaard for our long rides (western ) and to Lauren

Franklin ( English) . On May 10 some of our members attended the Leslieville Trail Trotters pre-regional horse show at Rocky Mountain House rodeo grounds. Congratulations to all the members who went, we all did very well and learned from the show. Thank you to the Leslieville Trail Trotters for putting on the show and the Judges for enduring a very miserable weather day. We had a great time. Good Luck to everyone at the Regional Show in Red Deer also. The West Central 4-H Regional Horse Show is May 30 to June 1 this year. It is held at the Westerner Park in Red Deer. The Westerner has been a huge supporter of this show for the past 31 years. So our Club would like to express our gratitude, and a huge thank you towards the Westerner Park for their continued support.

and walkway, proposed by the Masons in Rimbey is now underway. Kitchener Lodge No. 95 has already installed the bridge west of the soccer fields south of town and five-foot Swedish Aspens and Spruce trees are to be planted later this spring and the area seeded with grass. The park and walkway are to be three to four year projects, but the base of the trail is completed and will be graveled later this spring. To raise money for the project which is estimated to cost twelve to fourteen thousand dollars, St. Albert Singers Guild will perform at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre on Sat., June 7 at 8 p.m. A dinner will be held at 6:30 p.m. Verla Carter, general manager of the singers guild said the group, which has been in existence for almost 30 years plan to perform a variety of songs. They will also bring a narrator with them to keep the entertainment moving. “We enjoy supporting community events and are very excited to come to Rimbey.”

Culture in Rimbey is alive and well. The Beatty House, a wellknown landmark on Main Street Rimbey has been the scene of a number of interesting cultural events in the past and will continue to play a vital role in this capacity in the future. The Beatty House Society plans to increase its support of Rimbey’s heritage and cultural scene, said Bronwen Jones, society member. “As part of a new initiative of the Beatty House Society to increase its support of Rimbey’s heritage and cultural scene, the House is opening its doors on Friday May 30th at 7:30 for a House Concert,” she said. The folk duo “Me and the Mrs.” from Rosebud Alberta, who is touring Alberta to promote a new CD, will entertain. Me & the Mrs. is comprised of husband and wife duo, Paul and Heather Zacharias, who come from the well-known hamlet of Rosebud, Alberta. Upon the release of their debut album, “ghosts of what became”, in June 2013, they packed their 2002 Malibu full of instruments, sound equipment, CDs and love and headed out on the road. During this month-long, 11,000 km journey to PEI and back, the duo played house concerts all along the way, making friends and warming hearts with their brand of melodic folk and earnest and humorous storytelling. The couple has toured this spring, playing in living rooms across Alberta. They are looking forward to coming to Rimbey. “We feel privileged to be playing our songs and sharing our stories in a home with such rich history and character. Honoring the past and those who came before us, their way of life and values is something we can really get be-

hind. The nature of what we do is to craft songs and stories that can be shared, passed down and remembered; songs that are expressions of what it means to be human, past present and future.” Paul and Heather Zacharias are recipients of AWLCO Radio’s recording grant, and plan to record an album in July of this year at Private Ear Studio in Winnipeg, Manitoba with producer John Paul Peters. As well as making music with his wife, Paul does sound designing theatre shows for companies like Rosebud Theatre, or The Shakespeare Company and Fire Exit Theatre in Calgary. He also mentors young up-and-coming musicians in Rosebud, and produces and records albums at his recording studio doG House Studio. Heather is an actress who performs on stages in Rosebud and Calgary and teaches aspiring theatre artists at Rosebud School of the Arts. Tickets can be purchased through the Beatty House and its board members, at the Pharmasave Drug Store, and at Stationery Stories and Sounds. Please note that there are a limited number of tickets, and are limited to those of legal drinking age.

The Rimbey Review, May 27, 2014 15

Author of book ‘I Miss Me’ comes to Rimbey Municipal Library By Treena Mielke They say life is a journey; an incredible journey filled with bumps, detours and roadblocks. They say life is also full of surprises, some good, some bad, some not good or bad, but simply surprises. For William R. T. Boulton, author of the book ‘I Miss Me’, the fact he even wrote a book was a such surprise. He was, after all, in his early 20’s and the vision of his life certainly did not include becoming a writer. But for Boulton, a 20-something personable young man, with a charming smile and a wry, but delightful wit, the book came on the heels of another surprise. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He was diagnosed at a time when life should have been full of promise and hopes and dreams yet to be lived. He was diagnosed when he was young enough and naïve enough to take his health for granted. In the foreward of his book, Boulton talks briefly of his childhood. “I grew up with a farm background surrounded by family, friends and love. The constant hard work year after year imprinted on me a do-or-die work ethic. I cannot exactly pinpoint the time in life when the naiveté of innocence shifted towards a clear vision of the struggle and hardships of life, changing my mind to fight for everything, even to afford a cup of coffee on a few occasions.” Boulton spoke at an almost deserted

Rimbey library last Thursday. At least two of the people in the audience had MS, but even though they are, no doubt, going through their own journey, they understood only too well the meaning of title of Boulton’s book. The young author was invited to come to the library to promote his book and speak about multiple sclerosis, as May is MS awareness month. Boulton, however, spoke about much more than his book, and his talk was inspirational and informative. He explained the symptoms of MS; the different types of the disease and how it can affect individuals in a number of ways. “It’s a very frustrating disease. I could go on day and night about the symptoms,” he said. While MS has been attributed to genetics, geography and environment there is no definite conclusion as to the cause. There is no cure. Boulton agrees there is not enough evidence to support any one cause, but he believes stress plays a major role. He said when he was diagnosed he was successfully failing a company. While he gave the statement a humorous angle, his underlying seriousness was evident. After talking about MS, which is basically a disease of unknowns, Boulton began telling his own story; a story which precipitated the writing of the book, I Miss Me. His MS symptoms made themselves known one night when he was playing pool with his father downstairs.

I grew up with a farm background surrounded by family, friends and love. The constant hard work year after year imprinted on me a do-or-die work ethic. I cannot exactly pinpoint the time in life when the naiveté of innocence shifted towards a clear vision of the struggle and hardships of life, changing my mind to fight for everything, even to afford a cup of coffee on a few occasions. William R. T. Boulton, author of ‘I Miss Me’ “It was the worse game of my life,” he said, noting the loss of feeling in his legs that happened that night was alarming to both himself and his father. The feeling of numbness proved to a turning point in his life, and although it was not until sometime later it was confirmed, Boulton had suffered his first symptoms of MS. From there, the journey became unpredictable; full new challenges and tests that most people do not have to even think about taking, much less passing or failing. At one point his feeling returned and, naturally, he was elated. “I was phoning everybody, even strangers,” he said. “I can feel again. I was thankful and grateful and ready to begin living again.” But, his exuberance was short lived. He woke up one morning with double vision and no sense of taste. And then with the speed of an out-of-control train, his life changed again. By October of that year he was in the Red Deer Hospital, not being

able to walk, talk, taste, see or hear. And from there, his life took an unbelievable twist. Only weeks later, he walked out of that hospital. In fact, he walked into the Rimbey library and he talked to everyone there, not only about MS and his book, but also about his incredible journey which is full of inspiration, love, courage and faith. Boulton’s father, David wrote a poem called Angel during his son’s episode in the hospital. The poem was put to music and recorded by William’s sister Randi. In a prelude in his book she said the song describes William’s experiences along with the notion that although humans do have a fighting spirit, faith and hidden angels above may help throughout great times of need. And, no doubt, it was this faith coupled with the attitude not to let any challenge defeat him, William Boulton found what he was looking for. He found himself!

Education report draws fire from teachers’ union By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye The impending release of the curriculum change in Alberta brings with it some uncertainty, especially for teachers, and a new report makes bold recommendations on how that teaching will look. But not everybody likes what they see. An appointed group called the Task Force for Teaching Excellence (TFTE) has spent months compiling surveys and research on how students can receive a better education. They provided recommendations to Alberta Education. The document’s focus is on one goal: for every child, in every class, there is an excellent teacher. The 228-page report provides detailed recommendations on teaching and teaching supports as the new Alberta school curriculum Inspiring Education starts to become a reality. Feedback from many organizations, including the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) and the College of Alberta School Superintendants (CASS) was sought as well as public input from teachers, parents and other stakeholders. Some of those recommendations have brought scathing criticism from the ATA, mostly over stricter rec-

ommendations for teachers. Mark Ramsaker, ATA president, stated in a press release that the task force lacked transparency and legitimacy. “This seriously undermines teachers’ trust in (the) relationship with this Progressive Conservative government,” Ramsaker stressed. ATA concerns: The areas of most worry to the ATA relates to teacher recertification every five years, granting teaching certificates to individuals who do not have a teaching degree and suggestions that principals be separated from the ATA union. The ATA calls it an “attempt to extort compliance from the association by threatening to remove principals from membership and/or break it up.” The press release claims that the Minister of Education Jeff Johnson and staffers have tried to direct the work of the task force. Decisions behind the task force recommendations Shelley Ralston is one of the 16 members on the task force. She is the chairperson of the Red Deer College Board of Governors and provided a response to the ATA’s statement. “I think it’s disappointing that they have chosen to respond in a

fashion that it is an attack or an alienation,” said Ralston. She said students, and how they learn, were the priorities of this report and many of the recommendations are meant as a means to help teachers rather than hinder them. Three thousand Albertans contributed to the report, explained Ralston, and many of them were teachers or parents or school administrators. There were seven methods of consultation: online surveys, online bulletin boards, regional consultations, focused dialogues with key stakeholders, written submissions from organizations, one-on-one meetings and questions posed at an Inspiring Education symposium in February. Biggest challenge to implementing the recommendations “We’re not trying to fix something that is broken. We’re trying to take something that is good to great,” stated Ralston. She suggests that 30 years from now, the education landscape is going to look different and Alberta needs to be ready for that. Where the task force had issues is there are pockets of educational advances in Alberta but no consistent provincial standard that guides teachers and school leaders. “That’s not fair to every child in every classroom every day,” said Ralston. She feels the biggest challenge will be in Alberta Education implementing only part of the recommendations from the task force. “If we unpack these and only do one thing, we will move the bar and it will be good, but it won’t be great,” she added. Many of the recommendations are “interdependent” and one without the other may bring some benefits to Alberta’s education system but not to the whole. Response from the College of Alberta School Superintendants (CASS) Larry Jacobs is the president of CASS and the Wolf Creek Public Schools superintendent. He said that many superintendents are pleased with the report bringing clarity to teaching excellence and how it will look in the future. “I think that’s going to benefit not only teachers but principals and central office people across the province,” said Jacobs. He suggests that if society can agree on what teaching excellence should look like, then they can move forward with plans to provide it. “Now the principal knows the guidelines or the standards by which they can evaluate the teachers.”

Jacobs is pleased with provisions for teachers’ supports such as a paid practicum in their first year so they have a chance to experience teaching first hand. This puts the pressure on post-secondary schools to provide a more thorough program and evaluation. “Looking back at my history, they (teaching courses) were very content-oriented. So universities spent a lot of time with the content of an area, not necessarily the structures around, ‘How does this get delivered in the most effective manner to the students?’” Jacobs stated. Non-certified teachers allowed to teach Among the issues posed by the ATA is the recommendation that non-certified individuals be allowed to teach in schools, yet teachers are required to provide certification before being allowed to step and teach children. Jacobs feels this gives students an opportunity to learn from experts in certain fields. “We’ve got so many people, so highly skilled in different areas that could come and assist in terms of student learning,” said Jacobs. Making this change is not going to be easy however, as the Education Act states a teacher must be certified. That would have to be changed before the recommendation would be allowed. Ralston sees some cultural benefits to this recommendation. She suggested that since Ponoka is so close to Maskwacis, educational leaders in that community might be able to provide an alternative method of learning math. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have an elder come in and help teach math skills about the fur trade?” Recertification every five years for teachers The ATA took serious issue over the task force’s recommendation that teachers be required to take a five-year recertification. Ralston suggests that most professional institutions require this of their staff. “Many of our teachers do do that, but the system doesn’t ensure that they all have to do that,” explained Ralston. She suggests the ATA sees this as a witch-hunt, but the goal is to ensure students are getting the best education from engaged teachers. Jacobs agreed and used his 1970 graduation as an example: “I didn’t do this, but it’s very possible for me to still be teaching in the school system and never ever being forced to take one ounce of professional development and learning.” An educator could still be using outdated teaching styles. “Without any gentle guiding to improve, I could just sit there,” added Jacobs. Removing principals from the ATA One recommendation takes principals out of the ATA. This means they would not be part of the collective ATA agreement and would be exempt from those discussions. The report states that these school leaders need to be empowered to uphold recommendations. Contiued on page 17

JDRF’s research is committed to improving the lives of every person with T1D and to curing this disease. JDRF’s research goals are realized by the projects being supported in three basic areas: Cure, Treat, Prevent.

Continued from page 16 “In British Columbia they did that,” said Ralston. She suggests there should be a distinction between teachers and school leaders but does not feel the ATA will work with them on this issue. “I hope they will come in time to look at what they can do,” she added. The first 65 pages of the agreement provide the 25 main recommendations from the task force and Albertans are encouraged to provide feedback on the report. How to provide feedback Albertans have 30 days from May 5 to provide input on an extensive document that will shape the way teachers provide education in the future, for the province. Feedback can be provided in the form of an online survey at the Inspiring Education website at: inspiring.education.alberta.ca/initiative/ task-force-for-teachingexcellence/ or through email at: EDC.TeachingExcellence@gov.ab.ca. Also there is a discussion board on the Inspiring Education website. Michael Doll, ATA representative for central south region Alberta did not reply to questions.

leagues MP Patrick Brown and Minister of State (Sport) Bal Gosal. Tyson Fiveland, a 13 year old in the riding will serve as Calkins’ honorary chairman for the campaign. Fiveland and his family first met with Calkins in 2007 to discuss Juvenile Diabetes and the impact it has on the family as a whole. The then seven-year-old presented Calkins with a home-made book detailing his experience with the disease. This book sits prominently in Mr. Calkins’ office in Ottawa. Tyson and his family fight this disease every single day,” says Calkins. “The book in my office is a reminder of this fight, the same fight that millions of people in Canada face every day. It is my honour to run for all children and families affected by Type 1 Diabetes.” People interested in pledging their support for MP Calkins and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation are invited to do so at: http://secure.eventsonline.ca/cgi-bin/events/barrie_half/pledge. pl?id=JME7420060&charity=JDRF

on illegal drug trade

Rimbey RCMP detachment responded toÂ 56 calls forÂ service this week.Â Highlights of the week include illegal drugs,Â drunk drivers, illegal drugs and more drunk drivers.... and other serious matters. Drug arrests made Mounties continue to pursue those involved in the illegal drug trade in Rimbey.More arrests were made this week and drugs seized as a result of the investigations.Â In one case,Â a 27-year-old local man wasÂ chargedÂ for possession of cocaine and marihuana.Â The accused, who is very well known to police, was found to be in possession ofÂ a weight scale with cocaine still on it, as well as a large quantity of marihuana.Â He has been charged accordingly.Â Sylvan Lake resident charged During theÂ May Long Weekend, aÂ 19-year-old female, a resident of Sylvan Lake, was arrestedÂ at aÂ check stopÂ located at theÂ junction of Highway 53 and Highway 766.Â The arresting officer on scene had a flashback to an old Cheech and Chong movieÂ as sheÂ drove up toÂ him in the line of vehicles waiting to be checked.Â Â WhenÂ she rolled down the window,Â green smoke billowed out of the car.Â Â The surprised officer was met with a big smile from the young lady.Â Â Her smile quickly changedÂ when sheÂ found herself under investigation forÂ impaired driving by drugs.Â An RCMP Drug Recognition Expert was on scene to conduct tests for impairment and she was later released withÂ a criminal charge which she will appearÂ for in Rimbey Court on July 4th.Â Â Marihuana in the vehicle was seized at the time of the incident.Â Charges laid on May long Rimbey Detachment members were kept very busyÂ during the long weekend.Â In total,Â there were over 120 charges laid.Â ChargesÂ varied from impaired driving, illegal possession of drugs, theft, breaching court orders, no insurance, suspended driving, speeding,Â open liquor in a vehicle and other offences.Â Thankfully, there were no serious injury collisions reportedÂ despite several drunkÂ drivers being arrested that blew over twice the legalÂ limit.Â Â Ghost car arrest Last week, police were using an unmarkedÂ police vehicle in the detachment area.Â Â An officer patrolling out

at Open Creek Campground in the ghost carÂ watched aÂ youngÂ man at the boat launch drinking a beer.Â When the weekend warrior saw the officer, he held up his beer and motioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheersâ&#x20AC;?.Â The officerÂ waved the man to come overÂ and see him.Â When he did, he noticed the mountie insideÂ theÂ police vehicle and realized his error in judgement.Â Â As the officer was writing him a ticket forÂ consuming liquor in a public place, the man said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it should be illegalÂ for police to haveÂ cars that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sayÂ POLICE on the side of the themâ&#x20AC;?.Â Â Then he laughed and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;well Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m usually good for one dumb deed a day...that about covers it for today!â&#x20AC;?Â Assault charge Another Rimbey man has been arrested and charged with assault after he allegedly punched his common law spouse in the face.Â The investigation revealed aÂ history of domestic abuse in the relationship and he has been charged withÂ a previous assault and property damage as well.Â Patrolling on the water Police will be out on the lakes againÂ patrolling theÂ waterways.Â Please ensure you haveÂ a life jacket for everyone on board, a bailing bucket, a whistle or sounding device, paddles and all theÂ required licensesÂ with you in caseÂ an officer requestsÂ to see them.Â There are many different fishing regulations in our area pertaining size, hook restrictions and limits of fish you can keep.Â PleaseÂ be aware of all the rules before you throw a hook into the water.Â Plus, never operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol.Â Alcohol cannot be on boardÂ unless your boat resembles aÂ Cruise Ship and you areÂ docked for the night.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â If you have any information regarding these or any other crimes, please call the local Rimbey RCMP Detachment at (403) 843-2224 or Crime Stoppers: PHONE: 1-800-222-8477
