Alberta Party Leader speaks at Beatty House By Treena Mielke Only a handful of people came out to listen to Alberta Party leader Greg Clark speak at the Beatty House last Wednesday, but those in attendance seemed keen to learn more about the Party and provided insightful comments and questions of their own. Clark, who was elected leader of the Alberta Party on Sept. 21, 2013 got his first taste of politics when he worked in the Alberta Legislature for Leader of the

Official Opposition, Laurence Decore. After years of working in the business world as an entrepreneur he became concerned about the direction he saw Alberta heading. He felt that both the style and substance of politics seemed disconnected from Alberta values. With this in mind, his entrepreneurial spirit kicked in, and he put his energy and political savvy into turning the Alberta Party into his vision of a well-managed government that provided world class

services in the present, while planning carefully for the long term. Clark believes the Alberta Party’s with its fresh set of values and vision is what the province needs to realize its vast potential and create new opportunities. During his presentation Clark listed the Party’s core values which include prosperity, fiscal responsibility, social responsibility, sustainability, democracy and quality of life. Continued on Page 5

It’s official. Jason Nixon has successfully gone through all the legal hoops and is ready to challenge MLA Joe Anglin as MLA for the Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre riding. As of last Thursday Nixon said he received word he was officially a candidate. “Now we can move on to the final stage,” he said. Nixon said the date of the vote has not yet been announced, but he expects to be in early July. Nixon has taken a leave of absence from his position as constituency president of Wildrose to challenge the incumbent. He said the support has been strong for his candicacy. “There was overwhelming support in the signature phase,” he said. “The people in our riding made it very clear that they want to be able to have a decision as to who their candidate is.” Nixon said he plans to chat with as many Party members as possible in the next few weeks. Nixon has been active in the Party since 2009 and president of the constituency since the fall of last year. He stands behind Wildrose’s beliefs and values and wants the opportunity to serve as MLA to ensure these core values are practiced. The MLA candidate lives with his wife and children about a half an hour from Sundre at Bearberry. He moved to the Sundre area several years ago from Calgary where he was employed by Mustard Seed, a street ministry for the homeless. After leaving Calgary, he was employed as the executive director of Mountain Aire Lodge, an extension of the Mustard Seed. The lodge housed former street people and recovering addicts. The Wildrose party has announced nominations are now open in 19 constituencies. The Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre riding is the only constituency in which the MLA is being challenged.

The county approved an amendment to its land-use bylaw, allowing applications for growing the drug so long as the land is zoned direct control. This means applicants must first apply to rezone the land under direct control, which would require a public hearing, explained CAO Charlie Cutforth during a public hearing June 17. If that first application is approved, then applicants will need to apply to produce medical marijuana. “Direct control means that, first of all, a proposed operation has to be applied to council for Read all rezoning approval to direct control, and if council about saw fit to approve that then every part of the deit in the velopment…is dealt with directly with council,” explained Cutforth. This applies to the entire county. Regulating approved medical marijuana falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government and municipalities such as Ponoka County and the Town of Ponoka cannot restrict applications. One issue municipalities face is once Health Canada approves a company to grow medical marijuana, these groups argue they do not need approval for local zoning, explained Cutforth.

Summer games have begun Summer’s here and it seems like the days should be taken advantage of, used and grabbed up quickly in handfuls of happiness, before they slip away like grains of sand in an hourglass. It is a sad but true fact, that all too quickTreena Mielke ly, the season, for all its On The Other Side lush beauty and fragile good looks, can disappear in a blinding snowstorm, hidden once again under the bleak harshness of winter. I love the way summer arrives. It’s not like it makes a big announcement. It’s more like simply waking up one morning and being surprised. Branches heavy with fragrant lilac blossoms, grass so green it shimmers in the sunshine, and roses, shy, gentle roses playing with the wind in roadside ditches are all over the place. But for me at least, driving back and forth to work, simply absorbing all this amazing beauty through my cracked windshield is not enough. I want more. I want to do stuff. I want to golf. I want to tee up my golf ball and feel the satisfying smack of the ball as it sails into the air, finally landing impossibly close to the green. Okay. I would be happy to walk down the fairway, feeling the happy face of the sun smiling all over me. A good shot is a bonus and an excellent shot is a fantasy. Just being out there playing means I’m in the game, not on the sidelines and that is quite good enough for me. I want to play ball. I want to stand at home plate and hear the staccato smack of the bat as it connects with a ball that goes flying way out past the centre fielder. Okay, I would be happy with a plastic bat and a few grandchildren on my team in the middle of a field somewhere yelling ‘hit it, grandma’. But, seriously, even though fantasy and reality are usually quite a distance from each other, summer is a time to play in the huge playground Mother Nature has obligingly lent to us for a very short time. Last Wednesday I did just that. I did more than talk the talk. I walked the walk. I went golfing.

“I golfed with your brother years ago,” the guy at the counter said. “He was a very good golfer.” I smile. My brother was a good golfer, I muse. I had golfed with him at this very course, but I don’t remember his awesome shots on the fairway or his great putting skill on the green. I just remember being perfectly and absolutely happy because the two of us had sliced out a piece of a summer’s day to not do very much at all but have fun. I liked being with my brother and if I could have one minute of that day back again, I would, in a heartbeat. I think about this as I watch my daughter come

up to the clubhouse lugging her clubs in a faded pink bag. “I got them for $5 at a garage sale,” she said with a shy smile. “The bag was included.” And so it began. The game. We didn’t talk much. We didn’t have to. The sun was happy and so were we. And once again I was grateful for one moment in time granted me to be with someone I loved, just laughing, playing and hanging out. It was great, actually it was better than great. It was perfect! Even though she beat me!

Alberta ranks last in funding energy efficiency

Production: Red Deer, Alberta Published every Tuesday by PNG Prairie Newspaper Group in community with: Publisher: Fred Gorman

Calgary — New research shows that Alberta is the only province or state in Canada and the U.S. without energy efficiency programs in the residential and commercial sectors. Energy efficiency programs are used in every other jurisdiction to upgrade the efficiency of buildings and reduce energy bills. “This is a huge missed opportunity,” states Jesse Row, Executive Director of the Alberta Energy Efficiency Alliance (AEEA), the group that undertook the research. The AEEA includes organizations from the oil and gas sector, energy utilities, municipalities, product and service providers, and non-profits. “Albertans are paying billions of dollars more than they need to.” The Alliance’s most recent publication, Energy Efficiency Potential in Alberta, shows Albertans and Alberta businesses could see net savings of $1.5 billion by 2020 if all energy efficiency up-

grades that are economic today are implemented over the next 10 years. Recent polling shows that Albertans support their government introducing funding for energy efficiency programs. The results of the poll show 77 per cent of Albertans support or strongly support the government of Alberta using a portion of the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund (CCEMF) to support energy efficiency upgrades in homes and commercial buildings. Only seven per cent of respondents are either opposed or strongly opposed to using the funds in this way, with 16 per cent of respondents indicating they didn’t know or were unsure whether they support or oppose this approach. The CCEMF is a fund paid into by large industrial facilities in the province when they fail to meet their emission reduction targets. Since 2007, industrial facilities in Alberta have

paid $398 million into the fund. The fund is currently used to support the development of new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and has already funded 51 projects totaling $213 million in funding. This funding has included several energy efficiency projects at industrial facilities. “Funds that can be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have been sitting in the province’s bank account for some time now,” said Row. “The Government of Alberta should immediately put this money to work by investing into energy efficiency programs in the province. Albertans shouldn’t have to wait.” Energy efficiency is widely considered the lowest-cost way to reduce emissions, as it saves households and businesses more money than it costs.

Greg Clark, Leader of The Alberta Party spoke at the Beatty House last Wednesday. Treena Mielke Photo

Alberta Party leader Continued from Page 1 Irene Lovell said she believes quality of life needed to be a top priority and not listed at the end, but Clark said everything on the list was of equal importance. Ken Stemo questioned how the Alberta Party would raise revenue. “We need to get Alberta off the resource roller coaster,” said Clark. “I don’t think there’s a magic money machine out there. We need to go back to a progressive income tax. If you make more money, you pay more in income tax. He said he expects the PCs to announce a bright financial picture for Alberta. “We are about to see them say ‘happy days are here again’, but what we’re missing in this province is a long-term vision.” Clark believes the health care system now in place is hospital based. “We need to have a different mind set and a different attitude,” he said. “How are we going to make sure Albertans are as healthy as they can be.” Clark is opposed to Jim Prentice’s refusal to increase Alberta’s carbon price.

“We need a government that is willing to lead and we need a higher carbon tax than we have. Interestingly enough, industry wants it, too,” he said. Gayle Rondeel questioned Alberta’s control of the oil sands. “Don’t you think Alberta has lost control of the oil sands already,” she said. “Is there even an Albertan up there?” Repealing Bill 50 and providing consultations, not just information sessions is how The Alberta Party would help landowners retain their rights, he said in response to Lovell’s question about what the party would do to help landowners. “We are a party for all Albertans. We want to give people an energetic, enthusiastic reason to vote. There is nothing we can’t do as Albertans. What I’ve seen from the Liberals is too much negativity. They have failed to capture the imagination of Albertans.” “I like how you are shooting to be a government party, not the opposition,” said Scott Ellis. Clark said the long-term plan of the Alberta Party is to be in power by 2020 and have six MLAs in the legislature by 2016.

Ponoka County councillors had a full slate of public hearings during a meetin, June 17, with only one rezoning request causing debate between neighbours. Ronald, Patricia and Helen Hagemann submitted a proposal to council to rezone five acres, on Range Road 260 and Township Road 422, to country residential from country residential hobby. Adjacent landowner Gary Anderson spoke to council and said he hoped to see a subdivision plan as he has property nearby that he is also developing. He was worried the five-acre parcel could be subdivided at a later date and he did not want to see smaller lots in the area. The five acres is situated on an 80-acre property and Anderson suggested the entire property should be zoned country residential. Ron Hagemann replied that they do not intend to develop the land further. CAO Charlie Cutforth asked if the Hagemanns would allow the entire 80-acre parcel to be rezoned and Mr. Hagemann replied that he would as long as it did not affect their plans. Coun. Mark Matejka was concerned over the change and asked how the county should proceed with parcels of land on either said of the Hagemanns and Andersons. “This is the problem I’m having when the neighbour dictates the zoning.” While he had no issue with Anderson’s suggestion, he believed council should only proceed with the original request. There was also the question of whether the county would have to

advertize the request again in the newspaper. Council voted on the original request, which was approved. More rezoning applications Delbert and Donna Merrill, with help from agent Kenneth Merrill, asked to reclassify approximately five acres south of Ponoka on Range Road 255 to country residential from agricultural district for future subdivision in the area. There were no objections and the request was approved. Land west of Ponoka on Secondary Highway 795,north of Highway 53, was approved for country residential use from agricultural district. Submitted by LBM Holdings, the request was for 18.5 acres for either two nine-acre parcels or three six-acre parcels. Another application came from John and Alice Boeringa, who wanted to change 12.6 acres on Highway 53 and Range Road 13 to country residential hobby farm from restricted agriculture. “It’s a beautiful nature corridor, we’d like to keep it like that,” said Mr. Boeringa. The request was approved. Next up was Jason Dyck, agent for numbered company 1279970 AB Ltd., seeking to rezone approximately 80 acres to country residential hobby from agricultural district. Dyck said the proposal is for four 10-acre lots and one 33.3-acre lot. “This area has been identified for potential development,” he explained. The request was approved. Randy and Gail Stuart requested approximately 80 acres to country residential hobby farm from agricultural district. The request, which was approved, is for land on Range Road 15 and Township Road 424. Mr. Stuart said he feels the property is ideal for the proposal and says his neighbours already believed it to be country residential. A request from Jerry Dodds to reclassify approximately 6.5-acres to country residential from agricultural district was approved. The property is located near Range Road 261 on C and E Trail.

Who is Viola Schneider?

The Rimbey Review, June 24, 2014 7

GET MORE IN A FORD

THE STANDARD FEATURES YOU EXPECT AND SOME YOU DON’T

Viola Schneider Viola Schneider’s fingers are beautiful and determined much like her heart. For over 52 years as her strong delicate hands have touched piano keys, they have also touched the souls of thousands of Rimbey people celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, special events, and as we have said our final goodbyes to loved ones. You’ve likely heard her music at some point in your life in Rimbey. What you may not have heard, is Viola’s quiet melody of kindness through volunteering in our community. Now this melody is not a one hit wonder. This is a 40-year hit, composed of consistent, determined, thoughtful generosity. As a volunteer with the Rimbey United Church, Rimbey & District Old Timers Association, Rimbey Community Home Help Services and Rimbey Family & Community Support Services, Viola has made a tangible difference in the lives of thousands. She has brought health and happiness to seniors. She has brought nourishment and aid to those in need. She has brought insight and knowledge to the Board of Directors of Rimbey Community Home Help Services and Family & Community Health Services. She has packed food hampers, helped new parents, consoled those in distress, guided children and has gently held the hands of the lonely. This is a woman of great compassion, living amongst us, who has dedicated her time, her quick sharp mind and her immense heart to helping others. Things aren’t very important to Viola. She doesn’t collect anything, except friends, who know her favorite colours are blue and pink. But we also happen to know that Viola Schneider has collected the deep respect of people whose lives have been improved directly, and indirectly, by the reach of this remarkable Rimbey woman. Not surprising, is her firm belief that the greatest reward one can ever receive, is the feeling in your heart that you have made someone’s life a little better. So who is Viola Schneider? Well, if you are looking for a role model of giving back to your community, of living your life with kindness and generosity toward your fellow citizens, of being a thoughtful meaningful person, look no further than Viola Schneider. That’s who Viola Schneider is. We’d like to call her Rimbey’s ‘Wonder Woman’ but she would be unabashedly embarrassed if we did, so we won’t. The board of directors and personnel of Rimbey FCSS have been enlightened and guided by her insights, ideas and decades of dedication to others. We are honored to have known and served with Viola, who resigned as a Rimbey FCSS Director in May, leaving behind an organization that has been both provincially and nationally recognized as stellar in its provision of community service. Viola’s favorite saying is “What a wonderful world we live in!” “Well Viola, we think it’s a wonderful world because you are in it, right here amongst us, in Rimbey.” Submitted on behalf of the staff and board of directors of Rimbey FCSS

Rimbey athlete brings home silver from Ponoka triathlon By Treena Mielke An 11-year-old Rimbey athlete brought home a silver medal after competing in a triathlon held in Ponoka last Sunday. McCoy Groves swam, biked and ran his way to a second place finish in the triathlon, finishing with a time of 28.01, just seconds ahead of the third place winner. Groves said competing in the triathlon was fun

and he would certainly do it again, “I had so much fun doing it,” he said. “It was great.” Groves swam four lengths of the pool, biked three kilometers and ran two kilometers during the competition. The Grade 5 student at Rimbey Elementary School plays hockey and soccer and has been at the swimming pool almost every day since it

opened. Groves loves sports and was pleased to have the opportunity to compete in the triathlon. “It was the first time I had competed in a triathlon, but I felt confi-

dent. I just knew I would do really good.” He said he is quite sure his younger brother Garrett will compete next year as well.

McCoy Groves biked three kilometers during the triathlon. McCoy ran two kilometers during the competition. McCoy won a silver medal with a score of 28.01. There were 12 athletes in his age group. Photos submitted

Bluffton sees the best and worst of community relations Dear Editor, What a strange day in May! Bluffton was a microcosm of the world in action. The good, the bad and the ugly. Two major community activities were occurring at the same time that (to me) represented the best and the worst of community relations. On the east side of the hamlet there was a meeting comprised of representatives from the rural area, the petroleum industry and the provincial /municipal government. On the west side there was underway, an infrastructure project that, after four years of planning, was becoming a reality. I was present at both. I am also the angry landowner who, after 20 years of working amicably with the local petroleum industry, through the Rimbey Region Multi-Stakeholders Group, tendered my resignation and left the meeting on the east side of the hamlet to rejoin the happy, hard working west side activity.

The playground was being installed by community volunteers with the assistance of a lot of muscle power provided by one petroleum company in particular. Enough appreciation cannot be expressed to Conoco Phillips for the funding and manpower that they provided. This company is the gold standard that all companies operating in the area, should emulate. They were there right from funding to ground work, assembling equipment and curbing. And how about those community volunteers! Chris Quaife, Rod Mayner, Larry Hansen,Val Hilliker and Gale and Derrick Cornell. They were the basis of an expanding work group that included those who donated a potluck feast that we all devoured (outside with our backs to the cold spring wind). This west side event culminated in a welcomed friendly take over by the kids from Bluffton. The east side meeting (as I see it) appeared to be a hostile takeover by the petroleum industry, who were present,

(and two companies in particular) of a community group that had been active and committed to working together for 20 years. All over the world rebels are taking over countries or parts of countries. It reminds me of the ‘60/70 science fiction comic books that depicted a world of anarchy. Companies are buying out other companies. Control seems to be the name of the game. In this world of corporate craziness there must be some level headed, fact based organizations that support the three-pillar concept of economy, environment and community. If this can’t be found at the corporate level then perhaps landowners (for the sake of future generations) can co-operate with one another in bringing groups together who share these mutual values. Always with this in mind --- there is no room for personal agendas that don’t support organizational goals. Irene Lovell, Bluffton

The Rimbey Review, June 24, 2014 11

. . . concerns and questions Continued from Page 10 The self-regulation of the energy sector by the industry funded ‘Alberta Energy Regulator” is a joke and the only recourse for remediation or compensation is the lawsuit route being attempted by courageous people like Jessica Ernst and Diana Daunheimer. Sadly I think their chances of out-lawyering the combined might of Big Oil and Government are slim at best. It is time for all Albertans to wake up to this impending environmental disaster. Town and city dwellers have to realize that water contamination is not just an issue affecting rural landowners. The aquifers and water bodies being polluted are part of the same water cycle that your tap water in Rimbey or in Edmonton are drawn from so we are all in this together. In addition to the human water supply there is the risk to livestock water sources and the land contamination resulting from spreading toxic and likely radioactive drill waste on agricultural land. How can we expect to produce healthy food off the land if the environment is polluted with industrial contaminants? Where is our collective responsibility as a society on this issue or have the majority of the population succumbed to the same sense of bloated entitlement that affects our governing party? Is enjoying material prosperity today enough reason to collectively abdicate responsibility for the health and wellbeing of future generations of Albertans leaving them to discover that when the water runs out you can’t drink oil?

Owned by James and Patti Penner and Boyd and Kathy Stout, the little Main Street business has its doors wide open for customers to stop by for coffee or to simply to browse and check out the antiques and collectibles.

“It is nice when people come in and reminisce.

The Emporium is unique as it is housed in a building that was partially built in 1914. That portion of the building was a community hall and dance hall before it became a theatre in the ‘20s. The theatre has long since been closed. Until recently Rimbey New and Used occupied the space. However, the new owners have uncovered the old screen, and to add to the nostalgic atmosphere, hung a few movie posters on the wall of the coffee shop. “It is nice when people come in and reminisce,” said James Penner. “The stories you hear are so interesting.” The old threatre now houses antiques and collectibles, but once a month on jam night, the floor will be available for dancing as Rimbey musicians have an opportunity to showcase their talent. A jam session was held in conjunction with the grand opening and the event went over well. “The acoustics in the theatre are good,” said Patti Penner “and it was good to see the dance floor in use again,” added her husband. A monthly movie night is another feature soon to be offered. During that evening a nostalgic movie will be shown on the original screen. The Emporium has a selection of art from local artists and photographs taken by Rimbey photographers tastefully arranged on the walls. Bob Johnsons’ Diamond Willow woodwork is also displayed.

Boys and Girls Club expands program into summer months By Treena Mielke With summer here, the children of Rimbey have plenty of time to be out in the great outdoors or having fun participating in indoor programs. The Boys and Girls Club of Wolf Creek is geared up to meet the needs of the youngsters in the area, with indoor and outdoor activities, and have a great summer program planned. Co-ordinator Annette Peck said plans are in place for a Tuesday and Thursday full day summer program. For children six to 12, planned activities include theme days, trips to the pool every Thursday, games at Pas Ka Poo, a talent show, arts and crafts, science experiments, bowling and much more. The program is to run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the cost is minimal. Registration is necessary. “It will be on a first come-first serve basis and you may select individual days until we reach a maximum of 20 participants,” said Peck. For more information call 403843-1066 or to register call the recreation department at 403-843-3151. For the teens in the community, the Mid-Week Mash Up held at the Youth Action Centre on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. will be ongoing. This program offers free games, contests, spots, snacks, special guests and events throughout the

summer. “This is a great way for the teens to stay in touch with old friends and make some new ones over the holidays,” said Peck. The first four months of the Boys and Girls Club went over well, she added. “We are extremely grateful for the support we received from so many people in the community. We had great success with both Terrific Tuesdays and mid-week mash-up. Although the numbers changed from week to week, we have had up to 50 Rimbey youth at once for Terrific Tuesdays and up to 11 for the MidWeek Mash Up.” Peck said both programs offer high quality experiences for Rimbey youth. This summer, Jeanine Went will run the summer program. “We are very pleased to have her before she begins her two-year teaching contract in China,” said Peck. “We are confident she will be a great asset to our program.” More volunteers for both programs are needed, she added. “Even helping out once a month would be greatly appreciated.” For more information please call/ text 403-704-6641 or 403-843-1066 or email Rimbey@ponokayouthcentre.com or visit www.facebook.com/ bgcRimbey@BGCRimbey on twitter.

County helps Central Alberta Raceways with gravel donation By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye County councillors approved 7,000 tonnes of gravel to help Central Alberta Raceways during a meeting June 17. Herb Schwingel, public works superintendent for the county said he received the request for gravel in their pit area. Schwingel said the gravel would amount to $70,000 worth of work and product and would take about one week to complete the work. Council approved the request unanimously. High load corridor considerations A request to help pay for the burial of power lines on Highway 53 from Ponoka to Highway 21 was approved by county councillors. The request came from the Gemini Corporation who seeks a high load corridor on the route for its large fabricated oil field units, said CAO Charlie Cutforth. “There’s a general benefit in having this done,” he said. Companies such as Treo Drilling, Calnash Trucking and Big Country En-

ergy Services could make use of this high load corridor and have also been asked by Gemini to help pay. Cutforth told councillors that the cost to raise the power lines every time they move a unit is approximately $147,000 and Gemini is struggling to be competitive in the industry. Ponoka County approved 25 per cent of the cost or up to $200,000. “No money changes hands until the partners are in place,” Cutforth added. Master drainage plan for Wolf Creek In an effort to ease flooding of the Wolf Creek and Whelp Brook south of Ponoka, county councillors seek to finalize a drainage plan. The proposed plan was presented to council by Peter Stevens with MPA Engineering who said four local authorities; Ponoka County, City of Lacombe, Town of Blackfalds and Lacombe County have all agreed to a master plan that they all can follow. The report was approved to be finalized, which will then be sent to Alberta Environment for approval.

Spartan Girls Rugby had strong season: There were 35 girls on the senior team this year, and 20 girls on the junior team. Gareth Jones, Natalie Peck and Angie McWhirter helped out with the junior team and there are some great up and coming players. The senior team lost only one league game which was a challenge due to a short season necessary because of the weather. Amy Hawkings came and helped with player development, Amy is a former player who now plays on the University of Calgary Dinos team. The Spartans defeated Lacombe and advanced to Provincials, but lost the first game which dropped them to the consolation round but the team rallied and went onto win the next two games, 22-0 and 64-5 which made them the consolation side winners.

It’s time to protect property rights again. Recent legislation has disrupted the crucial balance that has protected the fundamental property rights of Alberta’s farmers and ranchers. For the good of private property owners, 14064CP0 for the good of our industries and for the good of all Albertans, this balance must be restored. If elected, I will introduce a bill to afﬁrm the vital importance of private property rights, the right to be heard and the right to fair and full compensation.

Engineers committed to excellence in Northern Gateway Pipeline design “We are very pleased the federal government has announced the approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline and we are confident the 209 conditions will be met by the project’s proponents,” says Matt Brassard, P. Eng., president of the Consulting Engineers of Alberta. “We look at the project from an engineering point of view. Many of the conditions imposed by the National Energy Board relate to issues that will be resolved by engineers. Designing a pipeline and related infrastructure are typical of the tasks engineers address every day during their careers,” continues Brassard. The National Energy Board in its review of the Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal said, “The Panel expects Northern Gateway to continue to follow good engineering practice. This consists of applying informed judgement and proven and accepted engineering methods, procedures, and practices to address a technical problem. The application of good engineering practice results in an appropriate, cost-effective solution that meets the needs of the project, meets regulatory requirements, and protects the safety of persons, the environment, and property, when the solution is properly implemented and maintained. Where there are potential unknowns that are difficult to predict accurately due to natural variability, the Panel finds that a precautionary approach is needed in applying good engineering practice.” “Canadian engineers are among the most knowledgeable and best trained in the world and have undertaken immense design challenges, often to design things that people said couldn’t be done—a national railway system; tunnels through mountains, Confederation Bridge; high mountain highways, thousands of miles of pipelines and countless other projects. Each has been constructed using the latest technology and innovation and have become the infrastructure fabric of Canada that we all, without thinking, take for granted,” adds Brassard. “Overcoming the design challenges to protect British Columbia’s and Alberta’s pristine wilderness will not be easy but it will be done. We applaud Enbridge’s commitment to excellence in engineering design and innovation and know that Canada’s engineering profession will exceed expectations,” concludes Brassard.

A recent article in the New York Times, “Best, Brightest and Rejected: Elite Colleges Turn Away Up to 95 per cent ” confirmed what we in college admissions counseling already know: With regard to getting into college, the stakes are getting higher and the acceptances are going down. For most of the past six decades, overall enrollment boomed, while the number of seats at elite colleges and universities grew much more slowly, making them steadily more selective . . . counselors and admissions officers say, the pool of high-achieving applicants continues to grow, fed partly by a rising number from overseas. In response to the increased pressure, parents are trying to find innovative ways to make their kids stand out. Those with the means to do so are sending their kids on exotic summer excursions to beef up their resumes and provide juicy material for their college essays.

Students preparing to apply to college are increasingly tailoring their summer plans with the goal of creating a standout personal statement — 250 words or more — for the Common Application . . . Specialized, exotic and sometimes costly activities, they hope, will polish a skill, cultivate an interest and put them in the spotlight in a crowded field of straight-A students with strong test scores, community service hours and plenty of extracurricular activities. The excerpt above was taken from an article entitled “For a Standout College Essay, Applicants Fill Their Summers,” which appeared a few years ago in The New York Times. The article describes the adventures of students exploring the ancient tombs of the Ming dynasty in the Purple Mountain region of Nanjing, studying health care in Rwanda, veterinary medicine in the Caribbean or cell cloning at Brown University. Extreme times, as they say, call for extreme measures. But what if you don’t have the money to go to Rwanda or even to build houses for families that need them in Tijuana? What do you write about then? And even if you do have the money, how do you write the most important essay of your life in a form you’ve never even heard of (the personal essay), when the stakes are so high? In my thirty years of helping students write essays that tip the scales in their favor, I have not met a single student who approached the prospect of writing this essay with anything but extreme anxiety, even dread. Face-to-face with a blank page (or screen, as it may be), students are often plagued with that which shall not be named — Writer’s Bl*#k. They have no idea what a college essay is. They don’t know what to write about. They have no idea where to begin. Most students, left to their own devices, begin by writing an introduction. Of course they do. This is how they’ve been taught to write the infamous fiveparagraph essay (though even in this form, introducing a subject before you know what you want to say is a recipe for — you’ve got it — that which shall not be named).

KNIGHT Mr. Orville Knight of Rocky Mountain House passed away on June 16, 2014 at the age of 90 years. Born and raised in Willesden Green, Alberta, Orville worked at Hoege Mill before marrying Margaret in 1950 and moving to Alder Flats to homestead. While building up their farm, Orville worked various construction jobs as a catskinner, had his own sawmill and eventually worked full time for Great Plains (Norcen) as a grader operator until he retired. When it was time to leave the farm, Orville and Margaret moved to Red Deer but soon decided the big city life was not for them and moved back to Rocky Mountain House where Margaret passed away in 1999. Orville met companion Eileen McKenzie and they have enjoyed numerous trips throughout Alberta and BC and even trailered to Ontario to visit relatives. They have been active in the Seniors Centre, enjoying card tournaments, floor curling and shuffleboard. They moved into Westview Lodge in 2011. Orville enjoyed spending time with his family, camping and fishing trips with family and friends, many hunting trips with his nephews, playing cards and watching his favourite sports teams. Orville is survived by his friend and companion, Eileen McKenzie, and his three daughters, Sylvia (Dennis) Stuart of Alder Flats and their children Chris (Cindy) Stuart and their children Raelyn and Josh; Pam (Owen) Stewart and children Dennis and Derek; Paula (Jason) Hancharyk; Joanne (Larry) Cooper of St. Albert and children Jeff (Danielle) Schultz and their children Larissa and Nicholas; Patti (Craig) Coolen and their children Riley and Jeremy, and Alan Cooper; Trudy (Rod) Carbonneau of Kimberley, BC and their children Cody (Tania) and Carissa (Owen). He is also survived by his sister, Beatrice Dersch of Olds, and sisters-in law, Elva Knight of Devon, Audrey Bothwell of Calgary and numerous nieces and nephews. Orville was predeceased by his wife Margaret in 1999. Funeral services were held at the Chapel Of The Rocky Funeral Home, 4804 48th St, Rocky Mountain House on Saturday, June 21st, 2014 at 1:00 pm followed by Internment at the Alder Flats Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made in Orville’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alberta Lung Association.

ALBERS Howard Wayne Albers passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on June 1, 2014 in Red Deer. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Anges; his children, Lyle and Darlene (Luke and Jesse), Todd and Christine (Emily and Graham), Jennifer and Kris (Thomas, Olivia and Kale), Michele and Nick (Malcolm, Grace and Mason). Howard was born in Lacombe and lived his whole life in that area. He farmed and did oilfield work for many years. The last 6 years were spent in Sylvan Lake, the last 2 at the Bethany Care Centre. Private funeral services were held at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Bentley on June 6, 2014.

Zen and the art Continued from page 16 But if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin at the beginning, where do you begin? The first thing I do when working with students is disabuse them of the idea that Product and Process are the same. I show them sample essays as models for what is possible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not immediately, but after I have them locate significant moments in the landscape of their lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I make it very clear from the get-go that knowing where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going (Product) and getting there (Process) are not the same. Although the finished product will, we hope, flow, be clear and be well organized, the process of coming up with ideas and getting them down on paper is anything but. In fact, generally speaking, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big mess. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. In fact, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. In the words of Friedrich Nietzsche, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.â&#x20AC;? Or, as I like to say, You must get lost in order to get found. But how do you get lost? This is something that should be taught in school. Getting lost is an art in and of itself. And it requires a kind of letting-go not unfamiliar to the masters of Zen. Thirty years of experience helping students write the best essay of their lives has taught me there is no one way to write. Any way that works is a good way. I have also seen that, indeed, there are ways to tame the inner critic and awaken the muse. Using the method that follows, there is no need for anxiety. In fact, you can check your anxiety at the door. Here are five steps to get you started: Locate moments in your life that have changed you. They can be small moments or big moments. You went into the experience one person; you came out changed. Jot these moments down using bullet points, bullet points only. The time I fell through the ice . . . the time my dad choked on an olive . . .Â Free Write about these moments. Write everything that comes to mind. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about grammar, punctuation, spelling or organization. Just write write write. The Free Write is the single most important step of the process. The only requirement: Write full sentences. Go back and expand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written. Ask yourself questions. The Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are very useful here: When was this? Who was I with? Where did this happen? What was important about this experience? This I call The Expanded Free Write. Ultimately, your college essay must tell a story. Once a student has written a Free Write, I often take the time to explain the difference between Showing, Telling and Reflecting and that all three must be present in the college essay. I then ask him or her to go back and bring the story to life: Be specific. Go into detail. Use dialogue instead of indirect discourse. Tell it as a story unfolding in time and space. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice we still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a topic. Now is the time to take a look at what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written to figure out what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to say. Most books on how to write college essays advise you to do it the other way around. They suggest you start with a topic. Sometimes that works. You can do that if you like. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get attached to it because often, given half a chance, the wand will find the wizard. The steps you will need to take next are essential; they require you make order out of chaos. This involves a different part of the brain. By the time you mobilize your team of organizers and inner critics, however, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already got something to work with. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heck of lot better than staring at a blank page.
