New Spirit of Mobility Bus arrives at Rimbey Care Centre By Treena Mielke Residents and visitors, including representatives from David Thompson Health Trust gathered together Friday to celebrate the arrival of a new passenger bus to be used by residents of Rimbey Care Centre.
The 2014 Crestline Spirit of Mobility Bus has the capacity to carry 15 passengers, five of whom are sitting in wheelchairs. The $160,000 bus includes a wheelchair ramp which has the capacity of sitting on curbs or being lowered directly to the pavement.
Being present when the bus arrived and being able to observe the patients’ reaction was a wonderful experience, said Corrie Fortner, executive director of David Thompson Health Trust. “It is great to be able to come out and
celebrate with the community and see the difference the bus will make in long term care,” said Fortner. “It’s been great to visit with the people who are going to be using the bus and hear their excitement.” Continued on page 3

Continued from page 1 Funding for the bus came through the generosity of individual, business and corporate donors. Volunteers spent countless hours communicating the need for a bus to the community through a post card mail out, newspaper articles and fundraising efforts. The bus will be used for outings throughout the year to take long term care residents into the country or take them on day trips to neighbouring communities or to activities in town. Long-term care recreation employees with the appropriate licensing will operate the bus. The new bus replaces the 1991 Ford Cutaway 15-passenger van. Presently funding is needed for a therapy pool in the rehabilitation area of the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre. The hospital has been without a pool for the past two years as the aging pool could no longer be used due to leakage. Hydrotherapy allows patients to strengthen muscles, while decreasing the stress on their joints. A new pool will cost $300,000. Another $300,000 is needed to purchase 49 additional continuing care overhead lift systems. These make it possible to lift and transfer continuing care residents with minimal effort and maximum safety. In the health trust’s annual report, Colleen Connolley, Site Manager of Rimbey Hospital & Care Centre commends David Thompson Health Trust. She said the DTHT provides the skills, knowledge, resources, and technology to help the donation committee successfully fundraise.

The 11th hour has arrived again. Here I am head bowed, hands clasped reverently under my chin, thinking! What to write about? I hate to admit this to the nice people who Treena Mielke actually take time to On The Other Side read my humble attempts at writing every week, but it has not been a good morning. Consequently, my mind is mush. Unless I consciously steer it in the direction of work, responsibility and tell it to focus on the ‘Power of Now’, like that guy who writes that new age stuff called his book, it keeps wanting to go to a place where I get to go back to bed, curl up in the fetal position and wake up in spring to flowers and sunshine and nice, dry roads. But, reality says “you have 47 minutes until deadline. Quit feeling all sorry for yourself and get to work.” I think of the late, great movie actor, Robin Williams and his famous movie, “Good Morning, Vietnam. I’m not sure why I’m thinking of him, except, getting things in perspective, he certainly came across on the air in that movie as being hilarious and keeping his public’s spirits up, even during the horrors of the Vietnam war. Surely, with that thought in mind, I could be a little happier, or at least portray a happy person, who is not all mad and tense and thoroughly yeah, well, actually, I’ve run out of adjectives, but it’s fine. You all know what I mean. It’s about winter. But seriously, it’s not like it’s a big surprise, after all, it is the season next in line after fall and I even have snow tires, for crying out loud. As I write the above, I feel a little guilty about complaining, but, oh well, I will anyway, but only for a few lines. First of all my garage door wouldn’t open this morning, even though I called it bad names and ran back and forth like a crazy woman trying to catch the chain thing and make it work. Finally, after about 15 minutes of doing this, which is far better than cardio at the gym, I got
the stupid thing to open. Thank goodness no one could see me because, as I mentioned, I was in the garage behind the closed door when I did my running back and forth. Small blessings! But, of course, once the door was open I saw the driveway which has, weirdly enough, increased in size immensely since the last snowfall and, in comparison, my snow shovel has shrunk to baby size. The driveway, of course, was covered with snow, even though my son, who turned up unexpectedly and blessedly last night, had already shoveled it, complaining all the while about the little baby snow shovel. And then there was the drive to work. For the most part, I was scared, just really
scared and alternately kept saying thank you to God for keeping me on the straight and narrow which, by the way, was extremely narrow due to the falling snow and the guy behind me in the big truck who was keeping a respectable distance behind me. “Thank you guy in big truck,” I said silently in my head. “Thank you.” Anyway, I arrived here safe and sound, and now I got that stuff off my mind about the garage door and the drive way and the drive to work, I feel much better. And, I still have 15 minutes until deadline! Have a good day, everyone. Keep between the ditches. Stay warm, stay dry! If possible, stay home!

On those rare occasions when someone uses the term as a pejorative (negative or insulting) expression, they plainly do not have access to a complete cerebral faculty: Their binder is out of twine, their well is dry, they’ve saddled a dead horse, their dog won’t hunt, their cook left home, their powders wet. I am searching for an amusingly appropriate trope. Oh! , I know, they live west of the “fourth”. I would like to personally invite anyone in our readership who has a family story with historic reference to call me, Don Ahlquist at 403-3049396 so we can discuss the possibility of having your story featured in the Rimbey Review.

Rimbey Spartans high school football team wins Provincials By Treena Mielke The Rimbey Spartans high school football team has capped off a perfect no loss season by bringing home the Provincial title. The team traveled to the final round of provincials held at the University of Lethbridge last weekend, defeating Millwood Christian School 36 – 6. Head coach Bill Bramfield is proud of his team, noting the boys came through the final game with flying colours. “We actually held Millwood to six points. It was their first loss all year and they had been averaging 82 points per game.” Bramfield is impressed with the quality of play his team has demonstrated. “For us, it went very well. We had quality of play on the field, the team was focused, well behaved and listened to the

coaches. It was clear they were there to play football.” The Spartans won the first round of playoffs Nov. 8 when they went up against Holy Redeemer School from Edson and defeated them 57-22. The second round of playoffs was against Ecole Descrochers School from Jasper and once again the Spartans emerged victorious, enjoying a 55-23 win. The first and second rounds of playoffs were held in Lacombe. Going through an entire season and the playoffs undefeated is not an easy feat and Bramfield credits his team for a job well done. “We had the majority of our team back, the boys were prepared and our talent pool was quite deep.” Bramfield said The Spartans, who also won Provincials last year, are a pleasure to coach. “They are quality people.” COURSE

Bluffton community asked to reach out to help family Dear Editor, Courage comes in many shapes. There is courage we see when soldiers go to war and we should all be grateful, but there is also the quiet everyday courage of people in our community facing personal challenges. Sometimes they win these battles themselves but we all know of times when the community has stepped forward with support when asked to do so. A family in our community is in need of that support now. The mom found the courage to remove herself from an abusive relationship and her teenage son, who will soon be joining them, is courageously living with a genetic condition called SMAD 4.
SMAD 4 is a life long condition that attacks the internal organs and frequently requires surgical intervention. Two years ago this lad underwent surgery to remove his colon, but that has not proven beneficial. He is now facing reconstructive surgery while he still has the physical strength to handle it. Following the surgery he will be joining his mom and family in our community. But this situation is even more complicated. The lad is Canadian because his dad is Canadian (but lived in USA for sometime). His mom has been working towards getting her Canadian Citizenship, but the process
has not yet been completed. The immigration department will not allow mom to be employed or receive health care or any government funding as of yet, but she is now to be her son’s sole support. He will require 24-hour care while recovering from the surgery. Over time our community has come to the aid of those in distress. Faced with this dilemma, the mom, as a last resort, in order to care for her son, will welcome any support the community has to offer. The immediate needs are medium size Depends, warm winter clothing, men’s large, size 13 shoes and a washing machine. A future fundraiser is being planned in the New Year in the form of a spaghetti supper at
the K & L Restaurant in Bluffton.

Road patrol commended, should not be ignored
Reader expresses political views
Dear Editor, What a wonderful job the road patrol does. The members stand outside the elementary school in icy winds, snow, rain and sometimes blistering heat, to see their fellow students across the road safely. The road they patrol is a hive of activity at 3:15 p.m. Both sides of the street, for three blocks, are lined with parked cars, some with engines running as parents wait to drive their children home. Passing motorists cannot see the sidewalks. As a former early childhood educator, I was appalled to see two mothers dart out from behind parked cars to run across the road with two or three little ones in tow.
Dear Editor, With all the recent defections from the Wildrose party, it should be borne in mind that Joe Anglin did not really win in this constituency, but rather, that Ty Lund lost. The Wildrose support was really a protest vote, which is ironic as it was the ultra right protesting against the right. There isn’t actually anything very new in this; not like, for instance, if the defectors had gone to the Liberals, or the NDP. Now, that would have been Visit www.sekuraauctions.com something really newsworthy. Small ‘c’ conservatism will rule this province for for all Upcoming Sales. generations to come. Let ‘s just hope Jim Prentice remembers that CALNASH AG EVENT CENTRE the ‘p’ in the PC party DECEMBER stands for progressive. CALENDAR Edo Deweert
One mother was looking back over her shoulder talking to someone. She didn’t appear to have seen my car. The streets were icy. Why would these mothers ignore the road patrol? They are there for your children’s’ safety. When children are taught to follow the rules and to respect the roles of others they become better citizens and in this case, safer ones. One day these little ones will want to be on road patrol themselves. I am sure the mothers will see it differently then. Keep up the good work, patrollers. Christine Hedges

choral music camp at Naramata, B.C. I had always enjoyed singing, but found the choral experience to be exhilarating. To take a sound that begins within you, share it with other singers, and hear it come back as something wonderful and thrilling is transformative. The chorus members synchronize their breath and harmonize their hearts in a cooperative effort.” “I wanted more people to feel that sense of wonder and achievement, so I thought Rimbey should have a community chorus. The idea grew from there.” Boorman said working with the chorus has more than met her expectations. “The chorus members bring a wide range of musical experience and training. I am delighted with how, working together, we achieve great music and I think we also have a lot of fun. It is not a closed group and new members are always welcome,” she added. The chorus, comprised of more than 40 local singers, all drawn together by their love of music, has been practicing regularly since October under the direction of Boorman. Their selection of Christmas music promises to provide a truly uplifting evening. Over the years many talented musi-

cians have accompanied their chorus. This year’s pianists, Grace Bennik and Charlotte Bonella, will be joined by Connie Jensen on drums. The chorus has entertained the community for almost three decades with a variety of musical evenings. Some of the singers have been part of the group since its onset, and new voices have been added each year. While each member is committed to giving his or her personal best to the chorus, credit is given to the director for her dedication, talent and unwavering commitment to bringing all the voices together in pleasing harmonies. “We all like to sing, but without Annette’s expertise there wouldn’t be a chorus,” said Donna Pecharsky. “Annette brings out the best in us,” agreed Florence Stemo. Both ladies enjoy being part of the chorus, and the opportunity to share their love of singing. “It is a wonderful way to remember the true meaning of Christmas with the community,” said Pecharsky. There is no charge for admission to Christmas Alleluia, but donations will be gratefully accepted. All donations will go to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a charity whose funds are matched by the government. Not only does The Foodgrains Bank provide food in emergency situations around the world, it develops projects for sustainable farming in struggling nations.

Bethlehem Walk symbolizes True spirit of the season By Treena Mielke In the true spirit of the season, the Bethlehem Walk will be held again in Rimbey, symbolizing in a special and unique way, the Christmas story. The walk is to be held Sun. Dec 7 at 5, 6 and 7 p.m. and will take place at the Alliance Church property on 54th Ave. The walk will take modern day travelers to several stations where actors dressed in appropriate costumes will do their part to depict the walk Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem where the baby Jesus was born. The age-old Biblical story is re-created through the help of local farmers who bring in hay and live animals as well as through a sound system and special lighting. The walk begins appropriately with an actor portraying Mary who is holding the baby Jesus in the manger. The angel Gabriel also makes an appearance at that time. Actors dressed as Caesar and some dressed as tax collectors accept monetary and food donations for the food bank at the second station. And, the third station is set up as an inn where there is no vacancy.

The fourth station is a shepherds’ camp where those participating in the walk can sit on straw bales and shepherds mill about talking about the wonders they have seen. The Christian Reform Church choir dressed in white robes portraying angels singing of Jesus’ birth make the fifth station a truly magnificent, awe inspiring part of the walk. And finally, in the lowly manger in the hay is the baby Jesus, the three wise men and Mary and Joseph, surrounded by livestock which concludes the Christmas story and the Bethlehem walk. Dawna Providenti, one of the many people who help organize the event and is also one of the actors said the walk is a wonderful way to spread the Christmas message. “It’s amazing.

The Rimbey Review, Dec. 2, 2014 11
Mom wants to see son home for Christmas By Treena Mielke Melisa Crawford has one wish for Christmas. She wants to bring her 15-year-old son, Khailnn Burdock home. Before Khailnn began having serious health issues, he was a football star whose husky build gave him a great advantage on the field. Football is the love of his life, and he soon proved to be a natural on the field. Sadly, the football jersey is much too big now, hanging loosely on a body that has shrunk to only 108 pounds. On Jan. 21, 2013, after many painful tests and visits to the doctor, Khailnn underwent a colectomy due to juvenile polyposis. While in the hospital, he was diagnosed with SMAD 4, a gene mutation that attacks the internal organs and frequently requires surgical intervention. On Dec, 3 the teenager will undergo reconstructive surgery again at the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. The surgery, if successful, will mean he will no longer have to have an ileostomy bag. Crawford plans to be by her son’s side at the hospital, and is determined to bring him home for Christmas. “I know I’ll have him home for Christmas,” she said, her eyes welling up with tears. “I know I will.” Crawford, a 34-year-old mother of five will stay at the Ronald McDonald House during her son’s stay in the hospital. A dark haired woman with a gentle voice and a soft, sad smile, she tells her story, quietly, haltingly, often wiping away tears, about how she came to Bluffton, Alberta, escaping an abusive relationship and trying desperately to start over. Crawford’s life seems to be one of on-
going challenges and roadblocks, made increasingly difficulty by immigration laws and rules and regulations she doesn’t understand. Born in the United States, she met her Canadian born soon to be husband when she was only 14 while staying with a sister in British Columbia. She became intimate with the young man, who was a few years older than herself, and before long found herself pregnant. She gave birth to a premature little boy at the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and moved back home to the U.S. with her family. However, the father of her little boy came out later for a visit and, as fate would have it, the two ended up exchanging wedding vows. Melisa was 15-years-old. Four children and several years later, the family moved back to Canada, settling in Nanaimo, B.C. due to Khalnn’s health problems. It was later discovered that another son, Christian also carries the SMAD 4 gene and will need surgery. And to make matters worse, a physician at the Cancer Institute in Vancouver told Melisa herself that she was also positive for the SMAD 4 gene. Meanwhile the situation between Melisa and her husband was steadily going from bad to worse and the young woman suffered constantly from bullying and verbal abuse. Although her husband had never hit her, she lived in constant terror that it was only a matter of time until he did. “It seemed that no matter what I did I couldn’t get through to him, and he was getting angrier, nastier and more volatile by the minute.” In desperation she had thoughts of taking her children and moving back to South Car-
olina to live with her family. In the end, with no money, scared and alone, she left her children with their father, as he did not appear to be abusive to them and she felt they would be safe. She knew she had to leave, but it was a heart wrenching decision. “The guilt and stress were overwhelming and I hated myself, but deep down inside I also knew that if I stayed and couldn’t get him to stop hurting me, I would wind up in a mental hospital, or worse yet, fly into a blind rage and kill someone.” The final straw came when her husband, after telling her she had 15 minutes to pack up and say goodbye to her children, physically pushed her out the door, leaving her with nothing but the clothes on her back and her wallet. With the help of a caring friend, who is now her partner, she found her way to Bluffton, and was able to find work for a short while. However, as she is not a Canadian citizen and does not have a work visa, she was forced to quit. “The immigration department will not allow me to work or receive any health care or social assistance,” she said. Since moving to Bluffton, her 13-yearold son Sean has moved in with her. The other children remain with their father, but she hoping to have them all with her one day. Continued on Page 12

Home for Christmas Continued from Page 11 “With this being Christmas, I feel myself not knowing what to do. My heart is heavy with the sadness of my partner having to be the sole provider in our home and not knowing if we will be able to provide the children with a Christmas. Last minute airplane tickets have taken up our funds to Vancouver. “As a last resort we welcome any support offered from our community. Any money raised will be going to Khailnn and Christian’s medical supplies, travels for us back and forth to the hospital and to provide a
Christmas tree and stockings for the kids.” For more information on the story check out A families Christmas wish by Melisa Crawford on Fundrazr/Facebook. As well as cash donations, the family is also accepting donations of blankets, medium size Depends, men’s warm winter clothing, size large, and shoes, size 13. A washing machine is also needed. Donations may be made by contacting Melisa at melisacrawford80@outlook.com or Kerrie at 403-704-3011.
Once again the Christmas season is fast approaching and the Alder Flats, Buck Lake and Winfield Santa’s Anonymous committee is gearing up to help needy families. The group’s mandate is to help make the Christmas season better for local families, those who don’t have the means to put a Christmas dinner on the table or buy gifts for their children. We are collecting non perishable food items, unwrapped gifts and monetary donations throughout Alder Flats, Buck Lake and Winfield. There will be donation boxes and tins at a variety of businesses and schools in the area and we would be grateful for any donations you feel would be appropriate. The food and gift hampers are customized for each family who will receive staple items such as cereal, canned goods, flour, sugar, tea, coffee, juice, rice and pasta. We will add perishable items just prior to delivery of a turkey or ham, potatoes, buns and Christmas oranges. Our primary goal
is to provide food for the families to help carry them through December which can be a difficult month for people on a reduced budget. We also like to include some basic necessities such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes and gloves or socks. Lastly, we include a gift or two for each family member. Everything is packed into brightly wrapped Christmas boxes and delivered a few days before Christmas. Recipients are referred via self referrals, social agencies, schools and churches. We only send hampers to people who are referred to us for the 2014 season. If you know someone who needs extra help this year and would like to refer them please contact one of the above agencies or call Lois Gilbertson at 780-6822388 or Marian Whitby at 780-388-3774 before the first week in December. The donation boxes will be collected approximately December 13th. We thank you for your generosity and wish you a safe and happy Christmas.

HEAGY, Marvin 1947 - 2014 Mr. Marvin Earl Heagy of Rimbey, Alberta, passed away after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving children and beloved grandchildren, at his home on Monday, November 24, 2014 at the age of 67 years. Marvin was born on April 11, 1947 at Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan to parents, Earl and Grace Heagy. He spent the majority of his childhood years on the family farm, until his parents retired from farming and moved into the town of Rockglen, Saskatchewan, at the age of fourteen. Marvin was a bright young man, graduating in 1964 as the youngest graduate in his class. He was too young to enroll in University, so he took his skills and knowledge right into the work force. Rockglen was where he met the love of his life, Linda. Marvin and Linda were married in 1968 and blessed with three children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. The family relocated several times following Marvin’s Oilfield Career. In 1980, the family moved to Rimbey making it ‘Home’. In 1991, Marvin built Linda her castle in their paradise, on what they referred to as ‘the farm’, west of Rimbey. The oil patch kept the family thriving and Marvin being self-employed worked passionately to provide for his family for the past fifty years, the majority of those years with Precision Drilling. Marvin was a kind and gentle man who was easy to converse with and build a friendship. He made new friends wherever he traveled and always had a pit stop along the way. Marvin was a leader and a role model showing his commitment to hard work and being part of his community; from Boy Scout Leader, Fast-ball, Slow-pitch, Curling Club and Golfer. The skill set was there too - scoring an eight ender in curling and making a couple hole-in-ones. When Marvin was home from work, he enjoyed the comforts of home. He was a great chef and took much pride in his garden. Marvin also enjoyed his ‘male bonding’ getaways with his friends at their cabin out west. This male sport was commonly referred to as ‘Hunting’. He also was a great card player and looked forward to meeting the boys in town for a coffee when he was at home. He was an avid sports fan and was passionate about his Saskatchewan Rough Riders. If the Grey Cup was in the West, Marvin and Linda would often go to the football games; as well as Curling Events. Marvin would never shy away from a good rum, a party or a hockey draft. The joy of his heart was his grandchildren. He LOVED them! Even through his illness when Marvin was unable to speak, his eyes lit up and his arms opened wide when the kids came in the room. Marvin will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his three children, David Heagy of Drayton Valley, Alberta; Sherri (Rod) Ryckman of Red Deer; and Brent (Naomi) Heagy of Fort McMurray, Alberta; as well as six cherished grandchildren; Anesea (Ryan), Lindsey, Taryn, Faith, Quinn, and Brodie; and one treasured great grandson, Weston. He will also be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his mother, Grace Heagy of Rockglen, Saskatchewan; his brothers, Garry (Elizabeth) Heagy of St. Clements, Ontario and Steve (Eileen) Heagy of Winfield, Alberta; his sisters, Edith Spagrud of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Shirley (Bruce) Bender of Pine Lake, Alberta and Peggy (Clifford) Ching of Slave Lake, Alberta; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and a host of dear friends. Marvin was predeceased by his loving wife of forty-six years, Linda Heagy, his father, Earl Heagy and brothers, Earl Jr. and Ralph Heagy. A Celebration of Marvin’s Life was held at the Rimbey United Church, Rimbey, Alberta. If desired, Memorial Donations in Marvin’s honor may be made directly to the Rimbey Curling Club, 5109 - 54 Street, Rimbey, Alberta, T0C 2J0. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com. Arrangements in care of Gordon R. Mathers, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM,
6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040 or 1.800.481.7421.
STAUFFER Mary Sutherland (nee MacWhirter) June 23, 1915 - Nov. 17, 2014
Mary was born to Mary Sutherland and Norman MacWhirter in Norwich, Ontario. She served overseas as a Nursing Sister in WW II where she met Joseph Stauffer, whom she would marry in 1947. They lived in Galt, Ontario where their children Judy and Tom were born. Most of their married life was spent in Aurora, Ontario, where Mary was active in the Aurora United Church and the community while she and Joseph (“JG”) raised their family. She loved summers at the family cottage on Canning Lake, Haliburton. In 2011, at the age of 96, Mary moved to Alberta to be closer to Judy and family. There the adventure continued, with new great-grandchildren to welcome, many happy times, and continuing contact with old friends in the East. Mary was predeceased by her loving husband Joe in 2002, and her cherished son Tom in 2003; also by her sister Jean Cranston and infant brother Donald. She was a loving mother to Judy Stauffer of Rimbey, Alberta; and an amazingly adored mother-in-law of John Hull. She was a treasured “Grandma” and grandma-in-law to: Kathleen Hull-Beagle and Kent Beagle of Rimbey, AB; Emily Hull and Ben Moore of Victoria, BC; and Adam Hull and Natalie Wuitchik Hull of Vancouver, BC. She was “Mamie” to seven great-grandchildren: Tavish, Cameron, Hudson and Josie Beagle; Nora and Molly Moore; and Linden Hull; and step-grandma and great-grandma to Justine and Lily Bryant of Victoria, BC. She is also survived by sister-in-law Isabelle Stauffer of Cambridge, ON and the Stauffer nieces and nephews. Mary will be missed by family and dear friends of all ages, and remembered for her warm heart, great kindness, superb fashion sense, unfailing good humour, and enduring friendships. In her 99 years, she met life’s challenges with a grace and strength. She brought out the best in us. A memorial service will be held at Rimbey United Church, Rimbey, AB on Monday, Nov. 24. at 11 AM. Condolences to J. Stauffer, Box 709, Rimbey, AB, T0C 2J0 The family wishes to express their appreciation to the staff of the Assisted Living floor, Symphony Inglewood, Red Deer for their exceptional care and friendship.
