Two candidates to run in town council byelection By Treena Mielke At least two Rimbey residents will vie for a position on town council in upcoming byelection. Ben Nesbitt and Brian Godlonton have both announced a decision to run for council. Nesbitt, who grew up on a farm south of town and completed his schooling here has a strong attachment to Rimbey. “My grandparents from both sides all lived in Rimbey and I understand how important it is to listen to the seniors and learn what their needs are.” However, keeping young people here is also important and the key to keeping the comBen Nesbitt munity alive and vital, he said. “I would like to see us attract new families and bring more new people in.” Nesbitt and his partner Liberty Matthews are expecting a baby in January and he would like to see council focus on developing more activities for young families. “If the kids aren’t happy it gives the parents more incentive to leave.” Nesbitt who has been a member of the Rimbey Volunteer Fire Department for several years said he is an extravert who enjoys making a difference in a positive way. “I enjoy talking to people, listening to their concerns and helping them if I can.” Nesbit worked for Rimbey TV for 10 years and is now employed by Platinum Communications as a field technician. Keeping the line on spending is also important to Nesbitt, who expressed some concern over the money council spent for a consultant.

Treena Mielke Photo “There may have been a better way to deal with that situation. We’re not Edmonton. We’re not Red Deer.” The declining business community has prompted Brian Godlonton to step up to the plate and run for council. “I keep looking at those empty buildings and it scares me.” However, Godlonton believes Rimbey has great potential as a community. “It hasn’t been here for a hundred plus years for no reason,” he said. The hospital and longterm care centre are primary examples of the positives the town has to offer, he said. “Not too many communities have a hospital

like we do,” he said. Good schools, Pas Ka Poo Park and the truck museum are other assets the town can take pride in,” he said. Godlonton is originally from southern Saskatchewan. He came to Rimbey in 1995 when he managed the Fields store. He was transferred to Cranbrook, B.C. in 1996, but returned in ’98 and went to work for Longvista Transport in Ponoka. In 2012 he was hired by Rimbey Co-op as petroleum manager. Godlonton has two adult children, Geoff, who is attending NAIT in Edmonton and studying carpentry engineering and Kim who is a stay at home mom living in Ponoka. He has two granddaughters.

The Rimbey Review, Sept. 9, 2014 3
Police report furry pedestrian hit and killed by motorist Rimbey RCMP detachment investigated 40 files this week. Highlights include criminal harassment, theft, impaired driving and other serious matters. Impaired drivers Rimbey Mounties arrested three more impaired drivers this week. Two weeks in a row, officers doing highway patrol on Highway 53 near the Open Creek Campground have arrested impaired drivers. Edmonton man charged On September 1, as the clock struck midnight, an alert mountie stopped a truck going a 137 kilometres per hour. Locals all know that the posted speed of 100 kms/hr is too fast at night because of all the deer and moose on that stretch of road. However, the 48 year old driver, a resident of Edmonton, was unaware of the wildlife dangers or that mounties in Rimbey can be anywhere at anytime. The Edmontonian found himself in a pickle when he demonstrated all the usual signs of being in no condition of being behind the wheel to the officer. On top of being intoxicated, the driver had no insurance, no registration, was already a suspended driver, was on probation to not get into
any more trouble... and to add to his list of problems... he was using a stolen license plate! In the other cases, local men were arrested for drinking and driving. All were charged and had their vehicles seized, licenses suspended and have to face a judge in the near future to answer to their charges. Drug dealers pursued Your local detachment continues to pursue drug dealers in our community. Officers are utilizing every possible resource to put anyone selling illegal narcotics behind bars. Everyone must know that these investigations take time and patience. Evidence must be properly obtained to stand up to the many tests in court to achieve proper convictions. In one case, a citizen reported suspicious behaviour at a neighbouring house during the night. When a fully marked police cruiser did not drive up and go in and bust the alleged culprits right away, the complainant was disappointed in the apparent lack of response to their call for service. Police use many means of investigating drug trafficking offences. Remember, just because you
Nesbitt and Godlonton vie for council seat Continued from Page 1 Godlonton is a director with the Rimbey Historical Society and Rimbey Fish and Game Association and is chairman of the board of directors for Kasota East Camp, a summer camp for children. He and his partner Janet Burghardt enjoy living in Rimbey. A byelection is to be held Oct. 6 at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. An advanced vote is to be scheduled which has been tentatively scheduled for Sat. Oct. 4 at Parkland Manor at a time yet to be determined. An institutional vote for extended care residents
will also be held at the extended care facility of the Rimbey Hospital. The date and times of the institutional vote is yet to be determined. Mayor Rick Pankiw said he is pleased to see advance polls set up at long-term care as six residents had complained after the previous election that they did not have an opportunity to vote. Council has allocated $3,000 from the unrestricted surplus to cover the cost of the byelection and CAO Lucien Cloutier has been appointed as the returning officer. The vacancy on council came up when Einar Olsen stepped down as a councillor as he was no longer a Rimbey resident.
didn’t see a police officer, that doesn’t mean they weren’t there! Your local detachment is working hard to keep drugs off the streets in our community. At this time, there are countless men and women in jail serving their sentences for their crimes relating to drug offences they committed in Rimbey. Some of these fine citizens have even found new couches to flop on elsewhere ...far away from Rimbey to escape the heat when they were released from jail. Habitual offenders targeted Mounties will continue to target chronic habitual offenders to ensure they are not continuing to commit crimes. If you have any information relating to drug use or trafficking in our community, please call (403) 843-2224. You never know, the little tidbit of information you have, may be the piece of the puzzle police need to solve a crime. On September 4, in the early morning hours police responded to a vehicle rollover on Iola Road. While officers were investigating the matter, an emergency beacon from OnStar called 911 to notify that a pedestrian had been hit on Highway 53 west of town. Initial reports were that the vehicle was completely de-
molished and fluids were leaking all over the road. Furry pedestrian hit Police, Fire Department and EMS personnel quickly responded to the crash scene but were unable to find it. Finally, the responding officer located the site on a Range Road adjacent to the highway where a SUV had hit a pedestrian causing the air bags to deploy from the heavy front end damage. Fortunately, the driver of the SUV was not seriously injured but the four-legged furry pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene. If you were planning on hunting deer west of town near Range Road 44, you’re too late! 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 #8477 on Telus Mobility *8477 on Rogers AT&T Crime Stoppers is a community program that does work!

Monetary value can’t be measured on some silent auction items The party was only just a little idea I had one day when I was getting ready for work. Not being much for grandiose ideas such as seeing each of the Seven Wonders of the World, (although I must admit I have always thought that would be exceptionally cool), I wrote down my Treena Mielke idea. On The Other Side Have back yard party! This is not unusual for me. I am a maker of lists. I like lists. Lists make me feel in control and focused. Of course, I usually lose my lists or stumble upon them much later and am amused. But this idea actually turned into a reality, a much bigger reality than I had imagined when I wrote ‘backyard party’ and stuck the crumpled list in the back pocket of my blue jeans. As it turned out I told a couple of people who told a couple of people and before I knew it friends, musicians, family and silent auction items all got mixed up together in a delightful potpourri that turned into something special and great. A backyard party/MS fundraiser! This year was as awesome as usual. In the space of an afternoon, my back yard became a happy place filled with flowers and laughter and music and, last but not least, silent auction items spread out invitingly to tempt unsuspecting people to buy stuff they didn’t know they needed. And then there was the Christmas stuff. The Christmas stuff was brought to us by a lovely couple who were moving out of their home after living there for 52 years. They were both in ill health and their children convinced them they needed to downsize to a smaller place. A place devoid of memories.
They brought us the decorations thinking the proceeds would go to a good cause. And I’m sure they would have, except in all the hustle and bustle and with the rain coming down and the people all looking at the silent auction stuff like a helicopter ride and a signed hockey jersey, the decorations got shoved aside. And the next day when the smoke cleared and the tent was taken down and the tables and chairs returned, there sat the decorations; wet, soggy, wounded and forgotten. I look at the jumbled display, achingly bare in the harsh light of morning, but I didn’t see it. Instead I see a young mom hanging those decorations proudly on a real tree set up in the jumbled living room of an almost new house, a place four kids, one dog and two parents called home. I see the kids carefully handing their mom the beautiful balls, their shiny surface reflected in the glow of the miniature lights, painstakingly hung on every branch. And in the quiet of my mind, I can almost hear that old player piano they used to have ringing out tunes of Christmas cheer. I put the vision away and bustle around striving to serve out large quantities of both coffee and morning
cheer to my overnight guests as they slowly straggle out to the kitchen. I try to distract her, but the lady, still lovely in her later years, looks out the kitchen window and sees the lonely, discarded decorations. “I can’t believe no one wanted them,” she said morosely. “They are really nice.” I smile, offering her slightly burned bacon and rapidly cooling toast and a hug. “I guess you can’t put a price tag on memories,” I say lightly. And I think about my own Christmas decorations. Probably no one would want them either. Who would want a cow made out of brown construction paper colored by a five-year-old? And the chipped ball with the year 1977 glued on with glitter glue would, no doubt, be tossed in the trash bin in very short order. But for me, those items are worth more than money can buy. And I cringe when I think that one day they will end up going to the best bidder or simply to the dump. I hug the lady again, more fiercely this time, and go outside to hide the memories away from her beautiful, sad eyes.
The ice bucket challenge represents a radical shift in fundraising Thanks a lot, ALS Association. Because of you and your Ice Bucket Challenge, millions of organizations around the world are re-thinking their approach to fundraising. The tried and true methods - like appeal letters, gala events, and silent auctions - have lost their lustre in the face of your ridiculously simple, outrageously inexpensive, and wildly successful viral rampage. Your success makes these traditional approaches as outdated and quaint as a cup of instant coffee. Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for your success. But in addition to generating mega-millions for your cause, those chunks of ice are creating quite a stir among the philanthropic world. As your revenues soar, we jealously watch from the sidelines and wonder: How can we duplicate your success? Prevailing wisdom is that your Ice Bucket Challenge represents a radical shift in the fundraising dynamic. You and all your drenched devotees have unleashed a new kind of philanthropic order. And commentators of every stripe are doing their best to dissect it. But hold onto your ice cube trays. Is there really anything really new here? Sure, the Ice Bucket Challenge has generated a ton of money in a short time and engaged participation from school kids to CEOs. But is what underlies its success really new, or just a new take on an old idea? At its core the Ice Bucket Challenge is a pure form of peer-to-peer fundraising. Nothing new there. Countless organizations have used similar tactics. Think of
Jodi Avram Troy Media Guest Columnist the old jail-and-bail technique, where well-to-do community leaders would have to “fundraise” themselves out of jail by calling a host of friends. More recently, Movember has generated similar support by having guys raise money and awareness for prostate cancer by growing facial hair (and turning November into the ugliest month of the year). For decades, charity events have been championed by well-known community leaders who tap their friends to buy tables, dress up, and come out in support. Peer-to-peer fundraising is nothing new, but what is new is who is being engaged. It’s no longer the older folks with big wallets who are fundraising targets. Now, nearly anyone with a pulse is a potential donor. And the key to attracting them is easier - and seemingly different - than it used to be. Sure there are people who criticize the challenge for its perceived lack of substance or connection to the cause. But the numbers speak for themselves. And, based on my armchair analysis, here are the main points that make the Ice Bucket Challenge worth remembering: It’s quick and easy. There’s no big commitment required. Is it possible that the less you ask of participants,
the more likely you are to engage more of them? It’s fun. Yes, it’s oddly enjoyable to watch someone get doused with ice water. And for those who want to up the ante, the challenge brings out the creative side of everyone from Patrick Stewart to Bill Gates. Anyone can do it. It’s open to almost all incomes, ages, and walks of life and no special skill or equipment is required. Plus, the campaign originated with average folks, not the Association. The grassroots origin only adds to the appeal - and makes it devilishly hard to duplicate. As organizations seek to attract a new base of donors, they should remember these important lessons. Donors want to be engaged, but they don’t always want to do it in hotel banquet rooms eating chicken and bidding on spa packages. Just one more thing to keep in mind. The motivation behind the challenge was to help a person suffering from ALS. The person who got the ice bucket rolling wanted to do something creative to help bring attention to a relatively unknown cause. The good news is that it only takes one adventurous soul to come up with a new way to inspire and engage a whole continent. So thanks ALS for pouring cold water on some of our outdated fundraising methods. Thanks for inspiring us to consider something new, fun, easy, and inclusive. And thanks for reminding us that the best ideas might come from outside of our organizations. Thanks. A lot.

Using virtues to acknowledge, guide, correct and be thankful awakens the best within us, she said. “Recognizing the virtues needed in daily challenges helps use to become lifelong learners open to the lessons of character.” Setting clear boundaries, honoring the spirit and listening with compassionate curiosity to help others find clarity and support healing and growth are strategies used in the virtues project, she said.

School calendar now implemented By Treena Mielke
Atillia Nakanyole, Murry Carson, his mother Hazel Carson, Evan Lintick, Tracy and Colleen Barclay, Peter Mielke, Geoff Paton, Willie Studer, Shirley Reaman, and John Lincoln were among those who attended the MS fundraiser in Sylvan Lake held Aug. 30. Reaman was in charge of the successful silent auction and Lincoln helped behind the scenes before, after and during the event. Close to $2,000 was raised from the silent auction for MS.

Backyard party raises close to $2,000 for MS Society Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News A community gathering of family, friends and neighbours on Saturday resulted in nearly $2,000 being raised for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society of Canada. The backyard party, held in Westwood Lanes in Sylvan Lake, saw about 50 people bid on a variety of silent auction items in support of the cause, and enjoy musical entertainment by Flashback Freddie throughout the evening. Treena Mielke, who both hosted and helped organize the party, was astounded by the level of generosity shown by those who attended. “It still surprises me — the generosity and the enthusiasm,” she said. “It just gives you a really good feeling.” This year marked the second time the party has been hosted by Mielke, whose husband and daughter both have MS. But the event wasn’t always intended to be a fundraiser, she explained. “It started out as one of my bucket list items to just have a party outside with a fire and music and everything, kind of using MS as an afterthought to just raise money if people want to make a donation,” she said.
child who scores below grade level. This strategy, in combination with the tutorials we already offer twice per week are designed to help us in meeting the needs of our students.” Bramfield said all elementary school staff will attend the tech symposium on Sept. 26 and the majority of staff will attend the two-day Daily 5/CAE training in Red Deer in February. The school also continues to focus on healthy living and a group of student leaders will attend the Health in Action School Symposium in Oct. in Red Deer. The aligned school calendar which sees a regular school day running about six minutes longer than the previous calendar will pave the way for a changed curriculum to be implemented by 2016. “There is so much change about to happen in Alberta in education. There will be a lot more project learning and the teachers all need to work together to plan and prepare for these coming changes.”
A new school calendar to be implemented this year will see Wolf Creek teachers granted professional development days almost every second Friday. Rimbey Junior/Senior High School principal Tim Lekas said these days will allow staff to create strategies to address student deficits in the areas of literacy and numeracy. “Our students generally perform very well, but we are always looking for ways to help our students improve, and literacy and numeracy skills are a key area in addressed in the Inspiring Education (format), he said. To identify those students in need of additional instruction, all students in Wolf Creek school division from grades one to 12 will be tested to determine their level of literacy and numeracy four times per year using a software program called Star Testing. “The tests are fairly short and will guide interventions for each
It works efficiently.
“Then my sister said let’s do a silent auction, and the silent auction has really taken off.” A 15-minute helicopter ride was one of the many items up for grabs through the auction, and brought in $150 for the cause. About $1,200 was raised through last year’s party, and Mielke was pleasantly surprised by its significant growth this year. She’s planning on hosting it again next year, possibly in a small indoor venue. The move, she said, would allow for even more people to attend, and provide adequate shelter in the event of inclement weather. “The heavens opened up (on Saturday) and it poured rain, which kind of added to it, and there were some people dancing in the rain,” she said. “The tent helped, of course, but we’re thinking next year we might see about getting a small hall and maybe making it a bit bigger.” Donations are still being accepted before the funds are delivered to the MS Society’s Central Alberta chapter in Red Deer. Information on how to donate is available by calling Mielke at 403-350-9453. In the meantime, Mielke is hoping people will mark down next year’s party in their calendars. “People just love it, and it’s so worthy,” she said. “It’s for a really good cause.”

with each successive one containing riskier investments but smaller weightings. A basic pyramid strategy might start with a conservative core and then build by adding growth ETFs, mid- and small-cap ETFs, sector/industry ETFs, followed by single stock exposure as the highest risk/reward. Investors who do not have sufficient proficiency in a sector or style, but want broad exposure, often use the portfolio completion strategy. By adding ETFs to a portfolio, they can gain targeted access to a specific sector or style. For example, if investors wanted access to the emerging markets but were wary of assuming single stock risk, they could purchase an emerging markets-focused ETF and obtain diversified exposure. Investors wanting to use ETFs, but not wishing to be involved in the construction of their portfolios or the day-to-day management, have choices. They can opt for a Separately Managed Account (SMA) focused on ETFs. These are professionally managed investment portfolios where investors have direct ownership of the individual ETFs but institutional-caliber managers handle all the investing and ongoing rebalancing. Another route is the ETF wrap. The key difference between it and the SMA is that investors do not own the underlying investments directly. They are often referred to as a “one-stop” solution because the investor can gain exposure to a number of exchange-traded products through a single purchase.

Rimbey and District Victim Services enhances community presence Community outreach and client services boosted by board of directors By Sandy Bell Over the past few years, the Rimbey and District Victim Services Unit has become more and more involved in the community. Volunteers and staff provide confidential support to those impacted by serious life events. They offer information to students and at community fairs about bullying, internet safety, healthy dating, family violence, elder abuse, suicide and mental health. “Response to Victim Services’ involvement has been very positive, and requests to provide information, workshops and education on social issues in the community have steadily increased.” says Rebekah Seidel, co-chair, Victim Services Board of Directors. “Our board reviewed our staffing, and decided to meet the community’s needs for services by refreshing our senior leadership roles,” says Fran Osokin, co-chair, Victim Services Board of Directors. As of this month, Victim Services will increase their community outreach through a new position — Community Outreach Coordinator. Direct client services will be enhanced with the revised role of Client Services Coordinator. “We’re pleased that Janet Porter stays with Victim Services as our Community Outreach Coordinator,” says Seidel. “She will help us develop our essential community outreach, education and partnerships.” Porter will meet with groups to pinpoint gaps in services that might be resolved in creative community partnerships. She will also reach out to locations outside of Rimbey, where the Victim Services office is located. “I will be scheduling time for a Victim Services presence in each of our hamlets and commu-

Miss Mermaid will set sail on Gull Lake waters next summer By LANA MICHELIN Advocate staff
The Mermaid will churn the waters again next summer — only this time on Gull Lake. The large, paddlewheel-style boat that’s been part of Sylvan lake’s history for the past 30 years is being transported to Gull Lake by its new owner. Red Deer resident Mark Linton said he saw the familiar red-and-white vessel sitting in dry dock for sale and something about it tweaked his nostalgic interest. “It’s been around as long as I can remember,” said Linton, who remembers the 14-foot-wide-by48-feet-long boat being a fixture of Sylvan Lake since his youth in the early 1980s. “That’s why I decided to buy the boat, I wanted to preserve it,” said Linton, who paid $60,000 for it. “I’m also a real Disney fan,” he added, referring to the Mark Twain paddle-wheel steamship that’s a feature attraction at Disneyland. Linton’s wife convinced him to take his first Disney holiday while he was recovering from cancer treatments. Even though his cancer has been in remission for the past six years, he and his family have been back to the feel-good theme park multiple times since. The owner of the DJ company On the Mark sees a kind of crossover appeal in running a dinner/dance boat on Gull Lake as well. “This will give me something to do seven days a week,” during summer months, said Linton, who’s already planning theme trips such as ice cream Sundays and pirate cruises. He intends to renovate the boat’s interior this fall to wood panelling from its current carpeted pink and sea-foam green “’80s look.” The new venture is a family affair, said Linton, who added his 10- and 13-year-old sons will be involved as hors d’oeuvres servers on the gaspowered vessel, and his wife will make a few appearances. Linton will also train a few more people to captain the large boat with its open second-storey deck. While the family has a summer place on Gull Lake, Linton saw no choice but to move the The Mermaid up to Parkland Beach on the north side of the lake. With changes made to the Sylvan Lake marina, there’s no easy-access docking for a boat as large as The Mermaid, he said, noting Sylvan Lake’s other tourist boat, The Zoo Cruise, is also for sale for the same reason. Linton plans to see how much interest there

The Miss Mermaid is hauled east on Hwy 11 from Sylvan Lake to a place south of Red Deer for repairs. Along the way the journey was interrupted when a wheel bearing on the trailer failed. Photo by JEFF STOKOE/Advocate staff is in cruises and wedding receptions on the vessel before investing in a second boat. But he believes tourism in the Gull Lake “was four times busier this summer from last year,” and will only get
busier. So far, a Facebook/mermaidcruises page he started has been getting a lot of hits. Linton said there’s nothing like see-
ing a large red-and-white paddlewheeler on the lake to draw public interest — the boat really becomes its own floating billboard. lmichelin@reddeeradvocate.com
Drivers reminded to pay attention as another new school year begins Submitted The province is reminding Alberta drivers to take extra care and attention as school has begun and children are once again active in school zones, playgrounds and neighbourhoods. Between 2008 and 2012, approximately 240 children under 15 were killed or injured while riding their bicycle or simply crossing the street on average each year. “The death of any child is tragic, especially when it is preventable. Everybody has a role to play in keeping our children safe,” said Wayne Drysdale, Al-
berta Minister of Transportation Drivers play a large role in back to school safety. Be alert and use extra caution in school zones, near school buses and near playgrounds. Likewise, students need to be aware of traffic safety rules as pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders and school bus passengers. Back to school facts • Twice a day, every day during the school year, more than 6,000 school buses in Alberta safely transport 300,000 children to and from school. • School buses in Alberta travel an estimated 450,000 kilometres a day — that’s
more than 10 times around the earth. • Approximately 70 per cent of casualty collisions and more than 90 per cent of property damage collisions involving a school bus occurred in urban areas. • About 50 per cent of the other drivers involved in collisions with school buses committed a driver error. The most common driver error committed by other drivers was following too closely. • A number of municipalities around the province, including Edmonton and Calgary, are re-instituting school zones this fall and speed limits near schools will drop to 30 km/h.

Ernest Hemingway’s grandson writes debut article for ASF’s Atlantic Salmon Journal, an award winning publication and its tributaries. “The Seine River recovery story, although a small part of the article, is significant in that the fish have returned on their own,� says Silverstone.  “Unlike bigger restoration efforts on the Rhine and the Thames, the Seine restoration relied solely on sewage plants and other river improvements. The improved water quality was enough to bring back salmon. This is good news to the thousands of volunteers that work to restore water quality to rivers in any area where Atlantic salmon once swam.� In Salmon In The Seine, Hemingway describes his grandfather as a “convinced naturalist and conservationist.� “Indirectly the story shows that, although the times have changed, conservation is not a new or recent principle and if Hemingway was alive today, I am certain he would support live release of Atlantic salmon,� says Silverstone.  “Perhaps not in the image that we have of him where he might punch someone in the nose who killed an Atlantic salmon, but certainly as a great artist who might
St. Andrews, N.B—The Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) and its award-winning publication, the Atlantic Salmon Journal, are pleased to announce that an article written by John Hemingway will be featured in the upcoming fall issue of the Atlantic Salmon Journal.  Published quarterly since 1952, the Journal is the world’s premier publication for the conservation-minded salmon angler. John Hemingway’s article, Salmon In The Seine, is a beautifully-written tribute to his grandfather Ernest’s love for nature and the outdoors. “There was another side of Hemingway, besides the image of a macho blood sportsmen and brawler as seen in various movies and biographies,� says Martin Silverstone, Editor of the Atlantic Salmon Journal.  “He was genuinely concerned about the natural world and took his role helping biologists in the study of various species very seriously.� John Hemingway’s article centers around the return of wild Atlantic salmon to the Seine River, following a 25-year clean-up effort of the Seine
have given us another rendition of The Old Man and the Sea where the giant marlin is released out of respect and concern.� As for the younger Hemingway’s talent as a writer, Silverstone says “the writing gene seems to be genetic to some extent.  He wrote a beautiful story that connects himself, his Uncle Jack and grandfather Ernest with fly fishing, the futility of war, conservation and ultimately the return of Atlantic salmon to the Seine River. Now that is a talented writer!� And what would Ernest Hemingway have to say about Salmon In The Seine? “I am pretty sure that he would be pleased,� says John Hemingway. “First of all, because I mention his
short story The Big Two-hearted River, and also because I write about his novel A Farewell to Arms. It is written well and he would expect that of a grandson, or at least hope for that.  I think that he would also like it that I am interested in fishing and fly-fishing in particular.� The fall issue of the Atlantic Salmon Journal will be available on September 1 and will be available on selected newsstands in Eastern Canada, Quebec and the northeastern United States. Subscription to the Atlantic Salmon Journal is included with a membership to the Atlantic Salmon Federation. Inquiries for membership may be directed to: membership@asf.ca.

A Subdivision and Development Appeal Board hearing set for Sept. 15 in Eckville will centre around the recent approval of a temporary frac sand transloading facility in that town. An application from Source Energy Services for the facility to be constructed on Station Grounds south of 50 Ave. was recently approved by the Municipal Planning Commission. But the decision is being appealed by some town residents who live near the site — as well as others who don’t. Town CAO Jack Ramsden said 15 separate appeals have been submitted, on a number of grounds. Some residents feel the station’s proposed location relative to nearby residences and businesses is inappropriate due to the nature of the proposed operation. Increased traffic and noise, and non-conventional working hours are among some of the other concerns expressed. A Source Energy Services representative said every effort would be
th
made by the company at the hearing to answer questions and clarify any misinformation that may exist, and to present a full disclosure of information as it relates to the proposed facility. There are several scenarios that could play out as a result of the hearing, according to Ramsden. “(The board) can do basically three things: They can uphold the appeal and turn down the development permit; they could uphold the permit and leave it as it was; or they could also approve the permit and add conditions,” he said. The hearing will take place at the Eckville Legion at 6:30 p.m. Open to the public, it’s being held at the Legion to allow for a larger number of people, as well as extra space for the provision of any evidence that may be presented. A final decision on the matter may not be arrived at by the end of the hearing, and will be made in closed session. Whatever the outcome, Ramsden hopes it will prove positive. “I want what’s good for the community,” he said.

The roof, not including the lobby area that had its metal roof replaced not too long ago, is getting recovered. At a July 10 special meeting, Bentley town council had decided to proceed with a roof retrofit, and to hire Timcon Construction to install 1.5 inches of insulation and Duro Guard XPS material over the existing roof. A bylaw was also passed to borrow the money for the capital expenditure. Option 1 had been a total roof replacement which seemed far less feasible. Work started inside the arena on August 19 with beams being sanded and spray-painted which hopefully brightens the area and makes it more aesthetic to the eye. Outside work is progressing.
It involves installing an over-roof system, complete with new insulation, over the existing sheeting and removal of the existing vapour barrier and insulation. The existing skylights will be covered over and it is hoped that leaks that have been plaguing the facility for quite a while will be stopped and the building will be warmer. Total cost of the project is to be $493,725, including a five per cent contingency. The town had approached Lacombe County for financial help and at the county’s July 24 council meeting they agreed to contribute half, or $246,862, funded from the county’s Recreation Capital Assistance Reserve. The project is to be finished before the hockey/skating/curling season starts. Arena ice is scheduled to be ready for use October 14, the usual start up time for Bentley.
Drivers warned of increase in wildlife collisions Submitted With the earlier darkness setting in, change of weather and wildlife movement there are a number of drivers striking wildlife while on Alberta roads. Motorists need to be aware of the safety issues. Slow down when visibility is diminished, such as in times of darkness. If you come to strike an animal take the appropriate actions to have the dead animal removed from the road. Put on your flashers and call the highway maintenance company for the area and request assistance for removal if you are unable to safely do the same. By driving away after a collision and leaving an obstruction on the road another motorist will strike it causing potential civilian injury or damage. In recent weeks it has been observed that there have been wildlife strikes where the carcass was left on the road and then re-struck multiple
times causing damage to a number of vehicles. Should that wildlife have been removed from the onset of the collision this would be resolved. Alberta has had 446 animal strikes causing damage, injury and even death in August 2014 which were reported to the RCMP. In September 2013, 752 were reported to the RCMP, in October 2013, it rose to 1116 strikes. We are anticipating again an increase in animal strikes causing property damage, injury, and potentially death in the coming months. Drive carefully and use caution when in high risk areas where wildlife cross as well report incidents where you see potential hazards. Please drive with care and be aware of your surroundings and hazards. Educate yourself on who to call when you come across an obstruction on the road that could pose a hazard for the next driver.
