Community reaches out to help victims of tragic highway fatality By Treena Mielke The community of Rimbey is reaching out to show its support for Angus and Rachel Dixon after a tragic accident on Highway 20 claimed the lives of two of their children. Sandra VonHollen from Game On Outdoors has set up on-line auctions through Facebook and donations can also be made
at the store to help the family. To check out the auctions go to Facebook links All Canadian On-line Auctions and Canada Wide Gun Auctions. A spokesperson from ATB said a trust fund has been set up for Angus and Rachel Dixon at the Rimbey branch of ATB. People who wish to donate may visit the branch or send email transfers to Sandra VonHollen at gmail.com until the power of
attorney is in place. Donations may also be made at Game On Oudoors. The fatalities occurred when a southbound vehicle collided with a northbound vehicle on the highway near Township Road 420 at around 1 p.m. Dec. 21. The driver and only occupant of the northbound vehicle died at the scene. The Dixon family was in the south-
Wildrose Party announces new interim leader and critic roster On Dec. 22 the Wildrose Opposition announced Calgary-Fish Creek MLA Heather Forsyth as new interim leader and released an updated critic roster. The announcement has been fully endorsed by all MLAs of the Wildrose Caucus after being passed by members of the party’s executive committee. “I am deeply humbled to receive this endorsement from my colleagues. Albertans can be assured our team is united in purpose and solidified in our commitment to serve,” Forsyth said. “We want to send a clear message to Albertans right across the province: we are here to fight for Alberta, we are here to earn your trust, and never before has Alberta been more in need of the values and principles the Wildrose stands for.” Forsyth will be joined by a re-energized Wildrose Caucus, focused on providing a principled, fiscally conservative and a dedicated opposition. Forsyth said she will spend her time as interim leader building up support from Albertans from every corner of the province. “We’re here to hold the PC government accountable, we’re here to fight and we’re here to win,” Forsyth said. “I am ready to roll up my sleeves with our incredible Wildrose team and continue our work of getting real and tangible results for all Albertans.” Forsyth will continue in her previous role as Health and Seniors Critic. Wildrose Cypress-Medicine Hat MLA Drew Barnes will serve as the new Caucus Whip, while picking up the new roles as Finance, Human Ser-

vices, Education and Innovation and Advanced Education Critic. “Albertans want an unwavering, fiscally conservative voice in the Legislature. This means establishing needs before wants, targeting wasteful spending, and achieving more effective and efficient government,” Barnes said. “There is much work to be done to protect our most vulnerable, get back to basics for our kids and work on ideas to have Alberta the centre of innovation across Canada. I have never been more ready for the task ahead.” Serving as the new Wildrose House Leader will be Lac La BicheSt. Paul-Two Hills MLA Shayne Saskiw. His other duties will include Critic for Justice and Solicitor General, Energy, Environment, International and Intergovernmental Relations, Aboriginal Affairs and Executive Council. “We are renewed, refocused and strong as an opposition,” Saskiw said. “I am dedicated for sticking up for all Albertans and fighting for the

New Year’s resolutions are a timeless tradition Believe it or not, 2015 is but a few days away and Christmas 2014 has already faded into the annals of the past, ready to be stored, once again, in a photograph book of memories. But, looking ahead, Treena Mielke not back, is what we all On The Other Side must do and it’s almost time to move on to a new year. And, as the days start to unfold, it will be time, once again, for the country, the province and each and every individual to fill in the blank slate of the yet to be lived days of their lives with responsible decisions which will, hopefully, benefit not only themselves, but their communities, their province and their country as well. Clinging to such unrealistic expectations is completely naïve of course, but, perhaps, it is not out of the realm of idealism to hope for tiny increments of positive change in the New Year. The longest journey begins with a single step, and 2015 offers an opportunity for each and every one of us to take that first step to begin our own personal journey towards whatever destination we chose. I, personally, plan on squeezing in some sort of nap before I begin the journey, again. Trust me, I’m all about making good and positive changes, but I know I will need lots of energy to do so. A nap is a good first step, I’m thinking. And then I will be ready.
I truly believe it is good to stand in the wings of a new year which is about to unfold and reach for limits which are, no doubt, realistically unattainable, but possible. In my mind, I flip back to my own personal plans, hopes and dreams that I unfailingly make each and every new year. Lose weight. Learn a new song on the piano every month. Do something nice for someone every day. Exercise at least three times a week. Follow Canada’s food guide. Keep your desk clutter free every day, not just when you can’t stand it anymore. Learn a new skill. Do not use profanity when driving or at any other time. Do not gossip. “Ahhh, what happened to my resolutions? Even as I write this, imagining the strict regime such resolutions involve, I am fairly confident none of the above will happen. Life will, no doubt, get in the way and I will fall short of the mark I have set for myself, thereby being all discouraged and ready to quit.
That’s when it’s important to get up, start over, or simply go to Plan B. Delete resolution! But still, with 2015 an embryo waiting to be born, even with my unfailing track record of incompletion, I am ready to start anew with a fresh list. And being an eternal optimist, I just keep looking up, which is good because on a clear night in late December, the timeless beauty of the constellations and the stars cut the night sky into a jagged patchwork of perfection. And, once again l am reminded by the majestic beauty of the night sky that some things such as optimism, hope and New Year’s resolutions are meant to live forever. And always there will be unexplained beauty, quiet moments of unexpected perfection and even the odd New Year’s resolution that actually gets kept. So, may you all have the best New Year’s ever and may you all make and keep your own New Year’s resolutions. Good luck with that!

If you itemize, you can deduct for charitable contributions – but do some homework first. GuideStar. org lists every IRS-registered nonprofit organization, so you can do full research on the organization’s work and legitimacy as well as its tax status. • Take that home office deduction. If you use part of your home for business or if your office is an unattached structure, you may qualify for a home office deduction up to $1,500 a year. • Watch the news and keep your tax preparer’s number handy. Congress may spend its final days arguing over a variety of expired tax breaks still pending. It’s important to keep an eye on tax news between now and New Year’s Day. • Bottom line: Use the end of the year to gather records and advice and make smart choices tax wise and otherwise.

A flu free New Year It’s not too late for your influenza immunization You resolve to start the year healthy. To eat well, be active… but what about your influenza immunization? Influenza has arrived in Alberta. As of December 18, more than 1,470 cases of influenza have been confirmed in Alberta. Of these cases, 260 have been hospitalized. Tragically, 10 have passed away. No matter how healthy you think you are, if you haven’t been immunized yet this season, you’re at risk of contracting influenza too. The good news? Influenza immunization is still available, free of charge, to all Albertans six months of age and older. Start your year healthy and stay that way; get immunized today. For more information, including local clinic schedules, visit www.alberthealthservices.ca/influenza or call Health Link Alberta at 1.866.408.5465.

County turns down two zoning requests By Jeffrey Heyden-Kaye Two rezoning applications to Ponoka County were turned down after councillors heard opposition on the matters. Public hearings on the requests were held Tuesday, Dec. 16 during council’s regular meeting. The first request came from Kelvin and Jennifer Jones to reclassify approximately five acres of land, on Township Road 432 and Range Road 11, to country residential from agri-
cultural. A portion of the property was already subdivided some years ago, which is normally discouraged in the county’s municipal development plan, stated a letter from West Central Planning Agency. The agency further said it could not support the proposed zoning but did not have any objections. However, there were two objections from neighbours, one written and one during the hearing. Concerns of land being torn up

Many people are more sluggish in winter than in summer, but for those affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the problem goes beyond getting a little gloomy. People who have SAD can experience: depressed mood, lack of motivation, fatigue, and often feel tired throughout the day. These symptoms can lead to excessive time in bed or in front of the TV, neglect of usual pleasurable activities, and reduced social contact. SAD mood boosters If you are affected by SAD there are several simple steps you can take every day to brighten up both your body and mind. • Be active. Building activity into your lifestyle not only helps lift negative feelings, it also prevents the weight

subdivision nearby. “It’s not meeting a need.” The second application came from Leo and Jolanda van der Toorn who wanted to split a fiveacre parcel in half. Located on the corner of Township Road 424 and Range Road 245, there was one letter of opposition to the request from Mike Stretch and Henk Krijger. They felt having two small parcels would not benefit the area. “Where is the beginning and where is the end?” Kriijger added during the public hearing. The van der Toorns were not at the hearing so no other comments were made. Reeve Paul McLauchlin suggested the request was not ideal. “Splitting fives is a tough thing to do,” he said. Both requests were defeated.

and loss of wildlife were raised by Rose Hagemann, who wrote a letter to council. She suggested with the Rimbey Ridge subdivision close by, adding a lot to this parcel would not be ideal. “Too many residential lots are being subdivided out of quarter sections,” she continued. Jess Donald spoke against the request stating with additional subdivisions, dogs cause issues with his cattle. He says dogs usually are not leashed and he had to shoot one some years ago as it was attacking his cattle. Mr. Jones said the 5-acres is not ideal for farming and would be better suited for residential use. He added he never objected to neighbours with their subdivision applications. Coun. Mark Matejka did not feel approving the request would benefit the area considering the

It is as easy as walking outside for 10-20 minutes each day. • Soak in the sun. Getting in as much sunshine as possible during the winter months can help. Make sure blinds are open during the day, with a direct path to where you sit or work. Better yet, get outside in the sunshine whenever possible. • Choose healthy foods.

By June Norvila Ten members of the Bentley District Fire Department responded to a structure fire at the Sandy Point RV Resort on the southwest end of Gull Lake on the morning of December 3 around 6:30 a.m. The fire was reported by a neighbor who was awakened by the light and noise. When crews arrived they found a brand new park-model mobile home at lot #44 fully engulfed in flames. Lacombe had been called but were stood down when it was determined they were not needed. One concern was a nearby 420-pound propane tank. It was found it to be venting properly so was cooled down and the rest of the propane dispersed. The home was completely destroyed leaving only charred remains with damage estimated to be around $125,000. No one was living in the home at the time and there were no injuries. It was interesting to note that the new owners were to take possession later that very day. The home in the adjoining lot suffered only minor heat damage to windows, flashings, etc. The cause of the fire is under investigation but doesn’t appear suspicious. It appears the fire may have started in the utility room that housed the hot water tank and furnace. Crews had arrived with an engine, tender, rescue unit, and utility vehicle. They were on scene for about three hours. The fire department would like to remind people to be extra careful with fireplaces, heaters, and Christmas decorations at this time of year.

GALISKY (nee Skeels) Thelma Jean Feb. 5, 1940 - Dec. 17, 2014
On February 5, 1940, Lester and Alda Skeels were blessed with an angelic little baby girl named “Thelma”, she completed their family on a little farm outside of Rimbey, AB. Thelma loved the farm life, she cherished all the time with her Mom and Dad, she loved all animals, especially horses. She grew up as the baby sister of two older brothers (Gerald and Delmer) and an older sister (Louise). She met Dennis Galisky and they were married in 1958 they moved to Prince George and began their family. Soon after their two boys were born, Bob and John. Missing family, they moved back to Rimbey. Dennis and Thelma separated in 1976. This is when Thelma began the journey of raising two teenage boys in a town where everyone knew your name! Thelma worked for Jack Perry at the Rimbey Record and overseen 4 other newspapers. In 1981 The RD Advisor gave Thelma the opportunity to begin a new career in Red Deer with her two boys, -where everyone didn’t know your name! Thelma loved working with people and always found the good in everyone. Thelma had quite a successful real estate career, with Sutton, C.A.R.E. realty. Thelma was an active member in a few Christian churches, her faith in the Lord was unwavering. In 2000 She rekindled a friendship with a special man, Robert Watts. Over the past few years they travelled together across the US, attended car rallies and numerous visits with old friends. He was so special to her and treated her like a porcelain doll. Thelma’s health problems began 4 years ago and has steadily worsened over the last year, those who knew her, take comfort in knowing that she was cared for by an amazing, caring and passionate group of people at Villa Marie, RD. She was predeceased by her Mother and Father, brother in law Tommy Sanderson-1998, Dennis Galisky-1986, and her partner Robert Watts- 2013. Left to cherish Thelma’s memory, her two boys, John (Twyla), grandson Conner, Bob (KeriLynn) grandsons Cameron, and Dylan. Her sister, Louise Sanderson, brothers Gerald (Mae) Skeels, Delmer (Joyce) Skeels, and numerous nieces and nephews. The family will announce a date for a service in Rimbey in the spring 2015.

Work always separates us on important days but so far we’ve kept the flame bright. Since Valentine’s Day 1995, when we met, our love has traveled for 19 years from Bonneville to Wabasca, Grande Prairie, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Robb and Fox Creek while remaining strong from Gull Lake. So looking forward to 19 more! You’re my favorite piece of Cape Breton. Love you always, Donna-Rae sweetgrasslodge@yahoo.com

The Rimbey Review, Dec. 30, 2014 15
Central Alberta Buccaneers gear up for 2015 season with new head coach The Central Alberta Buccaneers are well underway in preparation for their upcoming AFL season. With the signing of a Devon Hand as head coach, the Bucs are entering the 2015 season with a new direction and vision. By fostering a football culture of commitment and accountability and recruiting a large and competitive roster, the team will “allow as much fun as possible without compromising the work it takes to win a title,” said Coach Hand. “This will be a program guys want to play in.” Defensive end Ian Keetch, former Rimbey Spartan, is heading into his sixth season as a Buccaneers and “has loved every second of it.” Keetch has found his stride in the AFL, being named to the All-Star team for 2013 and 2014 as well as crowned the defensive MVP in 2013. While he is one of the league’s premier d-linemen, Keetch admits that his initial transition into the league was daunting. “It was a hell of a transition from playing football with [high school] boys to playing with the men of the AFL.” Keetch credited his recent success to Coach Hand who swapped Keetch to the defensive side of the ball. “Hunting quarterbacks is natural for me and [Hand] saw that.” When asked why others should join the Bucs, Keetch said, “I use it as therapy. It works for me.” After falling short of the 2014 AFL title, the Bucs are continuing to bolster its roster size and talent pool. With in-
creased depth, the team will be better able to endure injuries as well as avoid over-fatiguing players. To find these additional recruits, the Bucs will operate booths at trade shows during the spring (Ponoka, Lacombe, and Stettler), host its first annual Bucs Recruitment Night, and continue to have a presence in the Central Albertan community via fundraisers and charity events. The Bucs will continue its partnership with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ponoka by entering a team into the Bowl for Kids fundraiser. At this event, participants raise pledges, which greatly contribute to BBBS’s yearly operating funds, and bowl for game or two. This will be the Bucs fourth year participating in this event and the team aims at raising $1200 for Big Brothers. After completing its fourth teamblood-drive on Dec. 13 (which included 17 blood donators), the Buccaneers sent out a friendly challenge to the rest of the AFL to see which club is more willing to bleed for Alberta. On Feb. 7, 2015, the nine teams that comprise the Alberta Football League will collectively roll up their sleeves in their respective blood clinics in order to donate. Fans and interested players are encouraged to participate. The Bucs Recruitment Night will function as a meet and greet for interested potential players. Coaching staff and veteran players will be more than willing to share information regarding
the team, its culture, its history, and, most importantly, its goals for 2015. While an exact location has not yet been decided upon, the Recruitment Night will happen on Jan. 24. For more details, follow the team’s website at www.cabuce.com. When asked about the 2015 expectations, Coach Hand said: “When we strap up in red and black this
January
upcoming summer, players will be challenged to leave it all on the field for the better of the team. There will be no excuses. There will be no shortcuts. When the summer turns to fall and the dust settles, players will be able to look each other in the eye and say they laid it on the line for the team. That is what 2015 Central Alberta Buccaneers will be all about.”
