Solid turnout for FCSS Charity Golf Tournament By Stuart Fullarton Black Press Clear skies and prime course conditions made for an ideal day of golfing Thursday, all in support of a good cause.

The fourth annual Rimbey FCSS (Family and Community Support Services) Charity Golf Tournament saw 96 golfers take to Spruce Haven Golf Resort for the event, which raised money for the wide variety of programs and services offered by Rimbey FCSS. Although the total amount raised was still being tallied at press time, registration numbers pointed toward another successful year for the organization. “Ideally, 72 is a nice, neat number, and in our first few years, we were doing that,” said Rimbey FCSS executive director Peggy Makofka. “(This year) we made a decision that we would order 10 more golf carts and open it up.” Registration quickly followed, resulting in a sold-out tournament. That, in turn, would typically mean more money raised, and as an organization that offers such a diverse range of preventive social services, FCSS is grateful for the additional financial support. Even with funding from the province, it’s still “not enough money to do all the things that Rimbey wants to do,” according to Makofka. “The board at its annual retreat and strategic planning meeting identified that we’ve got to do more for seniors,” she said. “We’re getting more and more seniors, and we’ve got to (build) up our programs a bit, but we don’t have the money. So

we decided this year we’ll do the Last year’s tournament raised golf tournament again and try to $25,000. And it may return again raise a little bit more money to add next year, depending on the board’s decision. into some of these programs.” “We’ll de-brief after this event, Parenting groups, the food bank and playgroups for children are just and see how we did,” said Makofka. some of programs offered by Rim- “The board will meet (in November), bey FCSS, which employs 40 staff and it will be on their agenda whether they want to do it again.” and has 120 active volunteers.

By Verlyn Olson Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister There is no shortage of opportunities for Alberta’s agriculture sector on the world stage, especially in Asia. China and Japan are our second and third largest agricultural export markets, worth a combined $2.8 billion annually, and there is plenty of room for growth to meet the needs of their surging populations and economies. I had the chance to witness that potential firsthand during a trade and investment mission to Asia earlier this year. The mission targeted key financial centres and market access points in Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Japan. We met with companies interested in doing business with Alberta, particularly in the grains and meat sectors. We also met with government officials to discuss how we can better strengthen our trade relationships. There is clearly a real appetite for Alberta’s high-quality food products including beef, pork, grains and oil seeds. What is also clear is that our province has to continue to aggressively promote itself to make the most of these opportunities. The competition in the global market-

place is fierce and Alberta is fighting for a place on Asian menus with other suppliers like Australia and the United States. Alberta’s international offices will have an important role in keeping our province front and centre in the minds of Asian consumers and businesses. As well, trade missions, such as this recent one, also reinforce Alberta’s commitment to increased trade as well as create opportunities for Alberta companies to make connections with potential clients and investors. On this mission, we were able to bring about a dozen agriculture and energy companies together with approximately 175 potential investors at business “matchmaking” seminars. While it is still too early to assess the full extent of the results of the mission, I know the agriculture companies who participated have reported at least 20 solid investment leads that were generated through these meetings. I’m hopeful some of these new food connections will turn into long and prosperous relationships. While the trade mission was an eye-opener about the market possibilities we need to pursue in Asia, it also drove home the point that there are challenges here at home that we must overcome. Our recent troubles

moving last year’s record harvest to market by rail has resulted in a fair amount of angst among our international customers, who are concerned about the long-term dependability of our rail service. In order for Alberta and Canada to avoid any permanent damage to our reputation as a reliable global supplier of energy, food and other goods, we have to continue to aggressively seek and implement improvements to the transportation system for all commodities. Recently passed federal legislation that set minimum quotas for grain

delivery has certainly helped. We are also pleased that the federal government is expediting the review of the Canada Transportation Act to identify additional measures. We are strongly encouraging representatives from all commodity sectors to participate in the review process to ensure that their concerns and suggested solutions are put on the record. Our reputation as a world class supplier of highquality food and other commodities relies on our ability to deliver those goods to market in a timely manner.

Surviving new surroundings on campus: Tips from those who’ve been there Submitted by University of Alberta Lesson number one for new students arriving on campus to start university studies: make a few friends. Arriving on a large campus such as the University of Alberta can be a scary idea for new students coming from small communities — or even large ones, but having a buddy system helps. “Be really open to people and make friends as much as you can,” said Brock Richardson, the University of Alberta’s Assistant Dean of Students, Residence Life. By building a circle of friends — classmates, roommates, fellow club members — first-year students, especially those from small communities or who are the first in their families to attend university — can lean on one another for support when they feel overwhelmed by post-secondary life, Richardson said. Juggling homesickness, a new environment and academic studies can feel daunting, but knowing others are going through the same thing makes coping easier, Rich-

ardson said. “By making friends, you get people you can rely on, that you can bounce ideas off of, and because university is such a diverse place, you have the opportunity to make friends with people who didn’t exist in your high school. Here we have people from all over the world, so get to know them and open yourself up to that,” Richardson advises. Coming from a small Alberta town to start university at age 17 two years ago, Samantha Kondor was worried about finding her place on a campus of thousands. “The U of A campus was eight times bigger than my hometown population. I wondered where my classes were, if I could meet people, would I have anything in common with them?” As a lifelong swimmer, Kondor decided to seek out people who had the same interest, and eventually joined the U of A water polo team — one of 400 clubs and groups on campus. She soon had a circle of friends. “That was a huge confidence-booster — I got to do something I liked and I got to know people.”

Richardson advises students to think about arriving on campus more than a day or two before classes start. At the U of A, its BaseCamp program welcomes new students to residence a week early, so they have time to settle in. “Everyone is more relaxed because they don’t have classes in three days and they have time to make a few friends and get to know campus, as well as find groups or community projects they can get involved in. That gives a sense of belonging,” Richardson said. To keep from being overwhelmed by her overall course load, Kondor planned her schedule a week at a time, breaking it into manageable chunks. And when she needed help, she asked for it, tapping into campus services and approaching professors. “Don’t be nervous talking to a professor — they are not there to fail you.” Classmates also helped Kondor tackle needed new study habits. “I was a good high school student so I though the transition to university would be easy, but I had to re-adjust my writing and learn-

ing style to be more independent and study on my own time.” To cope with stress, Kondor also gives herself the occasional night off with popcorn and a movie. “It’s a distraction from worrying.” Phone calls to family and chats with friends also help put things like failed exams into perspective, she added. “University is a time of finding yourself. Don’t give up, university is so worth it, it is a fun and exciting time and if you give up, you don’t get that experience.” Richardson advises students to keep a few things in mind as they begin class this fall: • Figure out a healthy balance of sleeping and eating that works for you • Attend classes even if you are tired; you will get something out of it • Ask for help • Don’t worry about failure. “It is how you react that counts. Face adversity with others, ask for help, and stay positive. If you fail a class that doesn’t mean university overall isn’t right for you.”

Rimbey RCMP dealing with crystal meth ‘almost on a weekly basis’ By Treena Mielke The concept of having no borders and being open and welcoming to strangers and friends alike is simple and, in a perfect world, makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, it is a less than perfect world, and drug dealers and users have a way of slipping across borders, abusing the spirit of friendliness and crashing down foundations built of trust and honesty. Sgt. Mark Groves and the officers at the Rimbey RCMP detachment work tirelessly to keep drugs such as crystal meth out of the communities in which they serve, but like thieves in the night, these drugs get in, destroying innocence and finally destroying lives.

“We see it (crystal meth) here almost on a weekly basis,” said Groves. “We work hard at keeping it out, but it has found its way to Rimbey in the last few years.” Groves notes transient workers often come to Rimbey, and those individuals, who are here today and gone tomorrow, can quietly make a drug deal and slip away, leaving only devastation in their wake. “I wouldn’t say it’s easy to get, but it’s out there,” he said. Crystal meth, also known as a designer drug, does not require specialty ingredients from foreign countries for its manufacturing. In fact most of its ingredients come from every day household items like lye, battery acid and lantern oil.

Then comes the crash. Coming off of meth is like going through the hell of an ultimate hangover. The user will experience dehydration, diarrhea, extreme fatigue and hunger. And then comes the depression and a keen desire to experience, once again, the beautiful, wonderful high. But the next high is never quite as good, but, still it is a high and, worse, it is an addictive high. “It is a highly addictive, dangerous drug,” said Groves. Soon the user can think of little else. Food and sleep become less important and unhealthy rapid weight loss begins. The story then goes from bad to worse. The user can look forward to prolonged periods of increased blood pressure, heart disease, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of limb control, seizures and a rise in body temperature. An addict will suffer hallucinations, paranoia, violent and erratic behavior and experience the horrible feeling that his or her skin is crawling with bugs. And the body, once so receptive to the drug, will have built up such a tolerance that the methamphetamine that once produced such a powerful high, will provide little or no euphoria. Meanwhile, with yet another addict to deal with, RCMP officers such as Sgt. Groves continue to deal with the trickle down effect. Addicts steal cars, break into businesses, sell drugs or even their own bodies, just to get the money to buy the drug. “Addicts will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to support their habit,” said Groves. The Rimbey RCMP, as with police officers everywhere, wages a constant battle against drugs such as crystal meth. However, here in EMPLOYERS ARE SEEKING Rimbey the RCMP PAYROLL PROFESSIONALS are joined by Rimbey Wellness Group and Rimbey and District Victim Services Unit.

The drug can be produced anywhere; in mobile homes, in basements, even in motel rooms. Recipes for crystal meth can be accessed as easily on the Internet as a recipe for chocolate cake. That fact alone makes the drug extremely dangerous. “You never know who’s cooking it,” said Groves. “We have seized cooking equipment and recipes (from many different places).” Some ingredients used to make meth are ephedrine, hydriotic acid, hydrochloric acid, lead acetate, drain cleaner, battery acid, lantern fuel, lye and anti-freeze. Doesn’t sound particularly appealing, does it? And to make matters even worse, drug dealers, anxious to make a fast buck out on the street may not worry about measuring exact amounts or even what ingredients they use. Some meth labs may even add urine from an addict, as up to 40 per cent of the methamphetamine can be filtered and reused in this manner. Truly, there are no guarantees and the drug comes with no warning label attached. Consequently, a meth user, desperate for a high, could end up with a bad overdose leading to permanent brain damage or death. But still the deadly cycle goes on. The allure of the drug pulls in people as young as 15, said Groves. “And it is devastating what it does,” he added. But the high! Oh, the high! That first time the drug is injected can result in a burst of energy and a rush of euphoria. The user’s heart rate increases along with the body temperature. Life is good. In fact it is better than good. It is wonderful.

HIGH POINT SADDLE WINNER

Bentley Rodeo successful in 48th year By Stuart Fullarton Black Press Just two years shy of its 50th year, the 48th annual Bentley Rodeo held Aug. 8 and 9 was again a success attracting spectators and contestants from all over the province. “We had a really good show here this year, and we were happy with everything,” said rodeo committee chair Jeremy Park, attributing a large part of the event’s success to solid numbers seen over the two days of competition. Rodeo entries were up from last year, with much of the increase coming from the bull riding event. Attendance numbers were also steady both days. “We haven’t got (attendance numbers) totaled yet, but judging by our income, we did fairly well,” said Park. “We usually get good crowds both nights.” At the mid-point of both nights, empty seats were hard to come by, he added. It’s that kind of support organizers need to keep the event go-

ing in the future. “We get good support from the locals and from the business community, and lots of volunteers,” said Park. “As long as the volunteers are there to help, and we keep getting the support of the Quintin Kozak community and the businesses, I think we’re going to carry on.” Sturgeon County, AB. Because of Bentley’s proximity to outdoor recreational hubs such as Sylvan Lake and Gull Lake, a large part of the rodeo’s crowd is made up of visitors to those two areas. The rodeo provides them an exciting way to spend their evenings, potentially escaping inclement weather in the process. That’s just one of the benefits of The Bentley Rodeo Committee holding the rodeo inside, as has been the case since its inception nearly 50 would like to thank all of our volunteers, sponsors and years ago. rodeo fans who helped make this year’s rodeo a success.

Ponoka’s Jesse Hatala and teammate Jesse Quast worked together to compete for the fastest time in Team Roping at the Bentley Rodeo, which ran Aug. 8 and 9. Stuart Fullarton Photo

Bentley Rodeo Continued from page 7 “We’re not usually affected by weather, either being too hot or raining,” said Park. “(Holding it inside) makes it a lot easier for the committee to not have to make any last-minute decisions on whether to cancer or not. “We’ve never had to cancel a rodeo yet, and being indoors is the biggest part of that.” The rodeo’s timing in the summer, he added, couldn’t be any better. “It’s right in the middle of summer holidays, so we get lots of the lake traffic, and then lots of people are on holidays, so we do get good crowds every year.” Though not available at press time, official rodeo results were expected to eventually be posted on the Central Alberta Rodeo Association website at www.cararodeo.com.

Thousands raised through second annual Run Around the Zone By Stuart Fullarton Black Press The tally is in from this summer’s second annual Run Around the Zone, which took place at Pas-Ka-Poo Park June 15. Through the event, more than $8,500 was raised by 100 participants who ran, walked or volunteered in support of local healthcare

fundraising initiatives. That money will help fund a new therapy pool at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre, with the current one marred by damages so severe that it now falls short of required safety standards. Also slated for purchase are additional overhead patient lifts to benefit continuing care residents. One lift

currently serves about 15 residents, often creating wait times for those who require its use. Upgrades in both areas will cost just over $600,000. David Thompson Health Trust development officer Ashlee Hamblin was glad to see strong support shown for such an important cause through the June event, which attracted community members from all walks of life. “Some of them were there just to support health care, some were just avid runners looking for an event to do,” she said. “A lot of the people that ran and walked collected pledges and donations from their friends and family, and dropped them off at the run, so that was a big revenue source for the event.” Further proceeds came from event registration fees, cash donations and sponsor contributions,

she added. To support the upgrades, the run and other events like it will continue to take place over the next couple of years, said Hamblin. Next year’s is already being planned for May, and she’s hoping to see an even larger turnout for that one. The first one last year raised the same amount of money as this year, although with nearly twice as many participants. “I think the biggest difference this year was it wasn’t a very nice weather day, and we did it in June when people were already camping,” said Hamblin. “Next year, we’re planning on doing it in May to see if that helps us to keep those numbers up.” Donations will continue to be accepted until then, and may be made online at www.rimbeyhealthdonations.com.

Cars of all shapes and sizes put the Ponoka Industrial Airport to good use last weekend during the second annual Ponoka 1/8 Mile races. Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Photo

Race enthusiasts put airport runway to the test By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Racers put the Ponoka Industrial Airport runway to good use during the second Ponoka 1/8 Mile Drag Racing Association event last weekend. Junior racers and seasoned veterans showed how heavy their feet could get putting the pedal to the metal, which resulted in high speed race times. By the time official racing began, the stands had filled filled quickly with spectators eager to see a variety of vehicles, some of them ethanol-fueled, travel at high speeds. There were four categories of racers with their times closely monitored by members of the Central Alberta Raceways group from Rimbey: ju-

nior, sportsman, professional and super professional. The junior category was for young drivers still gaining experience but that did not stop them from travelling at speeds in excess of 128 km/h on the one eighth mile stretch of runway. Brad Adie, 14, has been racing out of Drumheller for the last year and his ethanol-fueled rail car can travel at speeds of 150 km/h. Why does he do it? “I like how I can go really fast.” His grandfather Paul Barry says most junior racers are not allowed to travel faster at races due to their age and reaction time. On the back of his car is a time flag that shows 7.9 seconds, which marks the fastest he is allowed to travel on the track.

State of the Environment 2014 Supplemental Report Lacombe County is pleased to announce the completion of its State of the Environment 2014 Supplemental Report. The State of the Environment (SOE) is an important tool for the County, as it provides a snapshot of the current condition of the environment and the pressures that affect it. The report focuses on community perception, scientific data, current environmental legislation and environmental extension programs. It is a compilation of information gathered from various sources, and provides us with a baseline from which we are able to undertake future environmental planning. The very first SOE report for Lacombe County was released in the winter of 2013 with the promise of annual updates to track changes. The 2014 Supplemental Report provides updated or supplemental information that is now available since the release of the initial SOE report in winter 2013. This document is a snapshot in time; it represents only the data that is available at the time of writing. For more details, or to request paper copies of either publication, please feel free to contact Cajun Paradis, Acting Environmental Coordinator, at the Lacombe County office - 403-782-6601. To download electronic copies of either publication for free, please visit www. lacombecounty.com.

Being on an acreage may have been one incentive for the young driver, who learned how to ride ATVs at an early age. Barry says his granddaughter won last year in Ponoka as well. “It’s a family event.” The sportsman category was for vehicles racing with little to no modifications and the professional and super professional were rated on their times. Vice-president of operations Colin Smith said the group’s focus this year was ensuring a safe weekend of racing for spectators and drivers. Crews kept strict safety guidelines for drivers and did not let them race if they were not wearing necessary safety equipment. Smith used the example of a recent incident in Rimbey, where a driver lost some fingers after colliding into some water barriers. “We’re all coming here for fun but at the end of the day we want to return home safe to our families,” said Smith. “We’re more stringent on teching,” he added. Tickets were relatively cheap at $10 per person or $20 per family and Smith says their goal was to make it affordable for spectators. A donation is going to be made to Central Alberta Raceways for their help over the weekend and any profits made will go to improving future races in Ponoka. “We want to continue growing the event. This year we were lucky to enough to get the bleachers from the Calnash Ag Event Centre,” explained Smith. The bleachers gave spectators a better vantage point when watching racers and were bought at a discounted rate from the ag centre. There were 112 cars that competed in the Saturday races and 100 on Sunday.

Minor delays expected with highway paving

The Rimbey Review, Aug. 19, 2014 11 By Stuart Fullarton Black Press Area motorists are being asked to prepare for minor delays with paving now underway on highways surrounding Rimbey. About 30 kilometres of highway are being rehabilitated west of Rimbey on Highway 53 and on Highway 771 to the east. A construction advisory issued by Alberta Transportation notes that three different techniques will be utilized in the paving of Highway 53. Those will include full-depth reclamation and coldin-place recycling — techniques that Alberta Transportation says

will “recycle most of the existing asphalt” on that particular road. Standard paving and milling techniques will be used on Highway 771. Jamie Friesen of Alberta Transportation said paving will be done in segments, with the entire project expected to be wrapped up by the beginning of November. He added it’s important for drivers to

Traffic will be reduced to one lane, alternating in both directions, with the speed limit decreased to 50 km/h. The total cost of the project is said to be around $10,000,000.

The Rimbey Review, Aug. 19, 2014 13

Lacombe County taking steps to address Pink Bridge damage issues by Stuart Fullarton Black Press Lacombe County councillors have taken steps to resolve a damaged bridge issue affecting traffic in an area south of Bentley. Bridge 00627 (referred to by the county as the Pink Bridge), was heavily damaged by a large piece of machinery in May. The damage was so severe that the bridge was promptly closed to traffic. A number of inspections and assessments followed, and it was found that damage was more extensive than initially thought. After completing a Level II inspection of the bridge, Bow Valley Bridge Services determined that the bridge must, for the time being, remain closed. Lacombe County Commissioner Terry Hager described the nature of the damage. “It was a piece of equipment that went through and just caught onto it, and unfortunately, as it went through the bridge, it caught onto a number of locations and kept on doing damage,” he said. “The structural integrity of the bridge has been jeopardized.” At council’s July 24 meeting, Hager was given authorization to negotiate a cash settlement with the insurance company, and to investigate alternatives for the bridge’s repair or replacement. Repairs could include everything from straightening and painting, to removing steel pieces and putting new ones in, he said. “It’s quite a variety as to what would have to be done.” Hager said the closure has affected traffic in the area — before the incident, an estimated 133 vehicles used

the bridge every day. Area drivers, however, have been understanding for the most part, he added. “People seem to understand and have not complained too much, although the longer it stays closed, the more we’ll hear from it. Certainly, it is an inconvenience for those individuals in the immediate area needing to get across the river.” The future of the bridge depends on the outcome of insurance negotiations, said Hager. Options to be presented could include repairing the bridge, permanently closing it, performing only minimum repairs on it, performing only urgent repairs on it, or designing and building a new bridge altogether. The latter option would come with an estimated $2.5 million price tag. A new bridge could be constructed by fall 2015, according to a county estimate. Assistant Public Works Supervisor Brandon Maier noted in a report for council that there are several factors to take into consideration when discussing the bridge’s replacement. “The complicating factor is we won’t really know the complete cost of replacing the bridge until the design is complete and we see how much equipment time is required to do the associated road work and if the bids that we receive are close to the estimate,” he said. The county’s Bridge Management Plan marked the bridge for replacement in 2013, based on its initial life expectancy. Recent inspections, however, showed it could have been capable of lasting until 2020. The county notes that the issue with this particular bridge was brought

to them “a few years earlier than anticipated”. Another bridge in the vicinity, the ‘Green Bridge’, is also nearing the end of its anticipated lifespan, although it still remains in service. That

bridge is scheduled for replacement in 11 years, despite being older than the ‘Pink Bridge’. “That’s just through normal wear and tear,” said Hagar. “It’s nearing the end of its useful life.”

False alarm calls an ongoing concern for fire department By Stuart Fullarton Black Press Rimbey firefighters are reminding home and business owners to be aware of the ease with which false alarm calls may inadvertently be placed, often resulting in the unnecessary consumption of firefighters’ time and energy. Rimbey Fire and Rescue Brigade is required to treat all calls seriously, meaning a false alarm call could delay or prevent firefighters from attending another serious situation unfolding at the same time.

“It sends a lot of emergency services people out there,” said Rimbey fire chief John Weisgerber. “We have to respond to the call when it comes in. We can’t just assume it’s a false alarm.” Rimbey Fire is manned by volunteers who also work full-time jobs. A false alarm may cause a firefighter to leave his or her workplace, only to find out that the call was mistakenly placed. Weisgerber said there are a number of reasons why alarms may be set off. Regardless, he assured each case is treated the same way by the firefighters who attend. And he’d like to see action taken to encourage people to ensure

they’re part of the solution, not the problem. “We did have something in place years ago, but it just kind of fell away as time went on,” he said, adding talks were being planned to look at “putting something back into place.” It’s not clear what that something would be, although some departments from other municipalities in the region are suffering from the same problem. One municipality, Red Deer County, passed first reading earlier this month of a bylaw that would see fines imposed for every second and subsequent false alarm calls placed within the same calendar year. Those fines would range from $200 to $400, should the bylaw be approved. Ponoka County assistant CAO Tom Webber said there are no plans for Ponoka County to implement such measures in the near future. Although false alarms happens occasionally throughout the county, he said, they’re not yet frequent enough to justify actions such as those being pursued by Red Deer County. “A lot of these big dairy barns and hog barns have alarm systems in them, but generally speaking they call off the emergency response before it leaves the hall,” he said. Regarding false alarms in residential areas, he said: “There’s the odd one, again, but it’s not overwhelming by any sense of the imagination.” Nonetheless, the problem persists in Rimbey, according to Weisgerber. “We’re all volunteers, and we’re all leaving our jobs to go to what could be a call,” he said. “It could be a fire, and it could be an emergency.” Volunteers with daytime availability are currently being sought after, he added. Those interested in finding out more about the role are asked to leave a message at the fire hall by phoning 403-843-2404.

Successful Bentley fair and rodeo weekend saw only one rainy day By June Norvila

Society on Saturday this year were a “jousting” station and bungee run. An art show was again staged in the old community hall. There was a very well attended car show with over 140 entries, due in part to the wonderful weather on Saturday, and it had the firefighter’s concession on hand. On Saturday afternoon, bikers escorted by RCMP rolled into town under the watchful eye of a police helicopter that circled overhead. The regular Saturday afternoon Farmer’s Market was bustling more than usual. There was a two-day CARA indoor evening rodeo and an adult cabaret and dance. Saturday night ended with wonderful fireworks that could be seen from

Once again Bentley and area volunteers and participants were kept busy with the annual August fair and rodeo Aug. 7 to 10. The theme this year was “Salute to the Bentley District Fire Department.” Things kicked off on Thursday morning with Bentley Minor Ball serving a pancake breakfast, followed in the afternoon by a 40-minute parade that included not only one, but two marching bands this year. Seniors flocked to the seniors pie social hosted by the Outlet Get-Together Club and floral, baking, arts and crafts, and photography displays opened in the curling rink. One category, sewing and stitchery, was not present this year due to lack of a volunteer to act as a convener and oversee that area.

The horseshoe tournament had a good attendance for its two days of competition and Sunday morning saw the interdenominational church service at Bentley Community Church followed by a potluck lunch. Most events are run by volunteers who work together each year to host a successful four-day fair and rodeo that supports and draws business to the town. Both the young and older attendees, and both residents and visitors, in fact anyone, can enjoy four days of activities and family fun on a shoestring budget.

as the golf tournament are particularly important. “It’s our major fundraiser for the year,” said Victim Services assistant co-ordinator Angela

Kinzel, adding funds raised help sustain the Victim Services program. “The main proceeds of the (tournament) funding go towards Victim Services advocate recruitment and training and towards the program in general.” At a time when demand far exceeds supply, recruiting advocates for the program is more important now than it’s perhaps ever been. Currently, only four advocates serve the entire Sylvan Lake RCMP detachment area. Those advocates are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Having more would allow for greater flexibility among the advocates, and lighten their individual workloads, according to Kinzel. Eight, she feels, would be an ideal number. “Our goal is to have enough advocates that you only have to be on call one week of the month, but obviously when there’s only four of us, we can’t do that,” she said. “We are in major need of advocates.” Victim Services advocates are volunteers who respond to situations dealt with by the RCMP where their information, support or assistance may be of help to victims of crisis. Potential advocates are required to undergo a security check before undertaking training in more than 20 different areas of trauma, grief and crime. Once fully trained, they may be called to assist Vimal Pillay of Red Deer Lions Club watches the RCMP with any number of different situations. his putt neared the hole at Sylvan Lake and The wide spectrum sees them doing everything District Victim Services’ Annual Golf Tournafrom offering support to victims of domestic vioment last Wednesday. lence, to notifying loved ones of a sudden death. Stuart Fullarton Photo “They brush on a lot of different topics,” said Kinzel. “It’s anything the RCMP deals with.” Compassion, good listening skills and a caring personality are the most important personal traits required to become a Victim Services advocate, she added. It wasn’t known by press time how much money had been raised through the golf tournament. Kinzel said, however, that participation numbers were up from the last time the tournament was held in 2012, with 144 golfers taking part. “In the last few years, we’ve averaged around 120 to 130,” she said. “This year it was sold right out.” More information about becoming a Victim Services advocate is available by calling 403-858-7255.

African food, music enjoyed by dozens as part of library cultural series By Stuart Fullarton Black Press Visitors to Pas-Ka-Poo Park on Friday night were taken on a trip to Africa. Though not in the literal sense, Rimbey Municipal Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cultural CafĂŠ: Focus on Africa provided perhaps the next best thing. The gathering, which saw about 70 guests enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of African culture, was part of a three-part series being put on by the library with the aim of increasing multicultural awareness in Rimbey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rimbey is rather homogeneous, and the library board feels that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have multicultural awareness,â&#x20AC;? said library manager Jean Keetch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody that spoke to me (afterward) thoroughly enjoyed it.â&#x20AC;? A group of African musicians performed a modern take on traditional African music, while food from across the continent was served. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had food that was from Nigeria and food that was from Sudan,â&#x20AC;? said Keetch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were five people at my house all day on Friday cooking African food. It was fun.â&#x20AC;? Keetch was pleased with the positive turnout, which materialized despite less-than-ideal

weather conditions present throughout the evening. A car crash on Highway 2 also threatened to put a damper on the night by delaying the band, which traveled from Edmonton for the occasion. Yet, the event was a success in the end, and Keetch is glad that both Cultural CafĂŠ sessions so far â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the first of which focused on Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seem to have been greatly enjoyed by everyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Korean one was more formal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a more formal society, and they were on stage and people stayed and sat and watched,â&#x20AC;? said Keetch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the African music, people came and went, and a lot of people were dancing. It was a different kind of performance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; way more casual.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping the third and final installment in the series will see the same level of enthusiasm and involvement from the community. Though final details such as location have yet to be determined, that event, which will offer a look into Mexican culture, will take place on Sept. 6.
