The Rimbey Review, Jan. 13, 2015 3

Rimbey family has New Year’s baby and also had 2013’s New Year’s Baby By Treena Mielke Jen and Dillon Kroetch from Rimbey have done it again. Not only have they had another baby, a sister for two-year-old Zachary and fouryear-old Rachel, they have achieved the notorious claim to fame of having Rimbey’s New Year’s baby. Twice! Sweet little Olivia Marie arrived at 3:27 p.m. at the Rimbey Hospital on Jan. 5. The beautiful little lady made her entrance into the world with a head full of black hair and soft dewy skin and was Rimbey’s first arrival of 2015. As it so happens, Olivia’s brother, who is now two-years-of-age arrived at the Rimbey Hospital at 9:34 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2013, the first arrival of that year. It was déjà vu for the family when the media arrived to take their picture. “Here we are again,” said the smiling mom. Although the babies were both first arrivals in Rimbey, there were some differences. Zachary was due Dec. 27, 2012. Olivia was due Dec. 29, 2014.

A new baby in the house to love and cuddle and watch grow is exciting for the whole family and Kroetch is happy with the age difference between her three children. “They are perfectly spaced out and they will have a friend, always.”

When Zachary was born the Kroetch family lived outside of Rimbey near the Medicine Lake Road, but they have since moved to town, so the trip to the hospital was very short. “You can see the hospital out of my

kitchen window,” said Kroetch. “It’s very close.” As coincidence would have it, on January 5, 16 years ago, Kroetch’s cousin Rebecca Schafer was born in the Rimbey Hospital. She, too, was the New Year’s baby.

Calling all Babies of 2014!

Jen Kroetch Zachary arrived at 9:34 a.m. Jan. 1 after his mom experienced contractions off and on beginning at around 3:30 a.m. Olivia was born at 3:27 in the afternoon of Jan. 5 after only a few hours of labour. “It went pretty quick,” said Kroetch. A new baby in the house to love and cuddle and watch grow is exciting for the whole family and Kroetch is happy with the age difference between her three children. “They are perfectly spaced out and they will have a friend, always,” she said.

Visiting still remains one of the very best communication tools Christmas is done. In fact, 2014 is done. 2015 gives each and every one of us the opportunity to start over. Begin again. And, that, in itself, has to be a good thing. Starting over. Starting again. Okay, just starting! It is nice to know the new year provides the challenge Treena Mielke presented by a whole new set On The Other Side of hours, days and months set within the framework of a year. A time yet to be lived, to grow, to learn and to simply be. It’s all good. For all of us, 2015 will, no doubt, present new challenges, and one of the most important, if not the most important, will be communication. Communication is the gold key that unlocks doors that lead to progress and learning, friendship and understanding. And while I know texting, tweeting, bluetooths, cell phones, ipads and iphones are buzz words in today’s busy, hurry up, get ‘er done world, there is another communication tool, texters with their busy little fingers, would do well to remember. It’s called ‘visiting.’ I was fortunate enough to experience the age-old art of visiting recently, and it was as precious and delightful as a lovely, hand written letter. They lived out west of the fifth somewhere, past the old Brown farm, driving slowly until you got to the fencepost with the owl on it and then turning right again, past the frozen slough, and finally up to the old farmhouse. It was like driving through a scene in the movie, Dr. Zhivago, so white it was, the fields broken only by deep green slashes of Evergreens, their branches obligingly spread out to catch the falling snow, cascading gently down like little clusters of white diamonds.

So quiet. So still. So absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. We arrived, tramping into the house with a friendly Collie dog at our heels and the smell of freshly cut wood in our nostrils. And as we shut the door on winter, we were welcomed with smiles and hugs and mugs of steaming hot coffee. And as the wall clock ticked away the afternoon, we participated in one of the best forms of communication known to man. We visited. I don’t even think the best part of the visit was verbal. After all, we didn’t talk about anything very much at all. We chatted about the lovely white cat who seemed to be made up mostly of this mop of fur and not much else, we admired the Christmas tree that hadn’t yet been taken down, we talked about absent family members and the price of hay. But, mostly we just sat on an old leather couch and absorbed the heat emitting pow-

erfully from an old wood stove set up in the corner of the living room. The heat was like a drug, and as lethargy overtook me, I kept nodding off, fighting drowsiness in the name of politeness, unlike the kitten in my lap, who purred and napped contentedly. It was good to be there, to be quiet and still, petting a warm and soft feline made up mostly of fur that purred and look out the window at a world frozen to a standstill by the month of January. And, I do believe as much as 2015 will bring challenges, including new and innovative ways to communicate, it is important to remember what worked well in the past still holds true today. Face-to-face visiting. Awesome! It worked for our grandmas and grandpas and it still works today. Weird! And, personally, I think it’s even better than texting.

Their choices have never been more clear. There is one party committed only to power, supported by politicians who long ago lost the ability to distinguish what is best for the party from what is best for the people of this province. Then there is the Wildrose: a party for the people with principles that bind Albertans from every background, from every corner of our great province. We stand committed to bringing government back into the hands of everyday Albertans. I want to thank everyone who has rallied behind us. We will not forget, nor will we give up. Our mission continues. Wildrose has already strengthened Alberta. We invite you to join us in our resolve to make it even better.

Guided meditation classes now offered at Peter Lougheed Community Centre By Treena Mielke As Alberta residents slip and slide through another winter, commuting on icy roads, dealing with daily pressures of employment, rising costs and an uncertain economy, the importance of holistic health takes on an even higher priority.

“Everybody is stressed. Everybody has so much on their plate. Guided meditation helps people to stop and be still and focus on their breath.” Alicia Jerome Alicia Jerome, who is now offering guided meditation at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre, wants to help others learn and appreciate the benefits of this form of stress relief. “Everybody is stressed. Everybody has so much on their plate. Guided meditation helps people to stop and be still and focus on their breath.” The primary objective of guided meditation is to learn how to relax. People who participate in the practice are encouraged to find a focus point in the body and begin to relax that part. While staying focused, all the muscles are encouraged to relax and, finally, the mind is able to let go of stressful thoughts and relax as well. “You just need to focus on your breath and be still.” Jerome said as a general rule people are so busy and when they join a guided meditation class and allow themselves to simply relax they may find themselves falling asleep. “I encourage that, if you feel the need to fall asleep, you probably need to. We need to bring back the nap. Remember when you were a kid and the freedom of just taking the time to lay down in the grass and stare up at the sky. Nobody has to teach meditation to kids, they already know how to do it. But for adults, meditation gives you the opportunity to experience that freedom again.” Jerome said she first began meditating when she was 18-years-old and was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Meditation helped her find a balance, relieve stress and, it seemed that when she was able to let go of her worries through guided meditation, her symptoms disappeared. Jerome, who is a councillor and yoga instructor, began offering classes at the community centre through Rimbey recreation department earlier this month. Classes are held upstairs from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays. “It is much easier to practice guided meditation with a group of people,” she said.

Springdale Players on stage for Liberty Hall Dinner Theatre performances “It is a murder mystery. It is about an acting troupe who is putting on a play and someone shows up dead.”

By Treena Mielke The Springdale Players, a talented group of local actors, will soon be back on stage once again, bringing to its audience a delightful tale of murder, mystery and intrigue. Liberty Hall Dinner Theatre will present the Pat Cook play, ‘You have the right to remain dead’, throughout February. Director Connie Jensen said performers have been rehearsing for several weeks for the performances and she is confident the play will be a great success. “It is a murder mystery,” she said. “It is about an acting troupe who is putting on a play and someone shows up dead.” The fact that actors are playing the role of actors attempting to solve the mystery of the murder gives the play a unique and unusual twist.

Rimbey RCMP continue to deal with domestic assault incidents drug related charges, break and enters, car chases and highway fatalities Rimbey RCMP detachment investigated 55 files this week. Highlights include another drug bust, more domestic disputes, impaired drivers, car chases, break and enters, theft and other serious matters.

Dangerous driver charged On January 2 at approximately 1:30 a.m., a 30-yearold man from Rimbey was observed driving erratically in a Chevrolet Cavalier. When the patrolling officer activated the emergency lights and siren the driver took off westbound out of town attempting to flee from the pursuing officer. Police cornered the culprit when he turned down a dead end road then hit the ditch trying to go around the roadblock. Police arrested the accused, who was high on cocaine, for impaired driving. Police seized and impounded the car and located and seized cocaine as well. The man briefly spent time in the Rimbey Hospital then made himself at home in the Crowbar Hotel where he was held in custody. This dangerous driver faces numerous criminal charges and will appear in court in February. Domestic assault incidents Unfortunately, the festivities around New Year’s Eve didn’t end for some folks who continued to partake in spirits and found themselves in trouble with the law. Police responded to several incidents of domestic assault and in one case a man has been charged with assault with a weapon. There is no tolerance for spousal abuse. If you have found that your drinking has affected your judgment and is causing tensions at home, please reach out for help now before the police have to get involved. Rimbey and District Victim Services Unit is available to assist you and your loved ones in your time of need. Please call (403) 843-8494 for more information.

our community and made a significant bust this week. Officers executed a search warrant at a hotel room with the assistance of officers from Sylvan Lake Detachment. Mounties arrested a 24-year-old female on more than a dozen outstanding warrants and seized cocaine, meth, marihuana, GHB and cash during the raid. Your local detachment will continue to pursue illegal activities in our community and put those criminals behind bars who choose to break the law. Baseball bat used in beating Around midnight on January 8, a local man called 911 after an assailant broke into his home and beat him with a baseball bat. Mounties and EMS quickly responded to the residence. The victim was transported to the hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. Police attended the suspect’s residence and arrested the 30-year-old and took him straight to jail. The accused faces countless charges, including break and enter, assault with a weapon and other serious offences. Alcohol was a factor in this case and both men are well known to police.

Police respond to fatalities Police attended numerous major collisions in the last couple weeks including fatalities on Highway 20 and Highway 22. Winter driving conditions and impaired driving are constant factors. In one case, on Highway 22 west of Rimbey, the impaired driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. Please exercise caution when driving on roads that are icy. NEVER use cruise control unless the road is completely dry. Plan ahead and take extra time to get to your destination and NEVER ...EVER drink and drive! Have a blessed and prosperous new year everyone! We look forward to serving you this upcoming year. 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!

Nanji, who will celebrate her 40th birthday on Feb. 2, came to Canada from Kenya at the tender age of 15. She came to the strange country accompanied only by an older sister. The girl’s mother believed Canada to be safer for her girls and she sent them to live with family in Edmonton.

Bentley School winter classic sees students against teachers By June Norvila The Bentley school staged their second Winter Classic hockey game on December 12 at the local arena.

During the game, junior and senior students faced off against teachers and staff at the local arena. All were sporting Bentley Canucks jerseys.

The referee at the Bentley School Winter Classic hockey game was Grade 3 student Cooper Moore who was dwarfed by others on the ice. June Norvila Photo

There was a lot of thought and preparation for the event. There was a raffle table with numerous donated items, a silent auction item of a Paul Postma No.4 Winnipeg Jets signed jersey, and a 50/50 draw. There were many students and volunteers manning tables and acting as Santa’s helpers and passing out candy canes to the spectators. A student Santa from Grade 9 with elf helpers even made circuits around the arena. O’ Canada was sung by Kelsey Vig with the Canada flag being held by a skater. The volunteer linesmen were two graduates of the school Carson Schneider and Nathan Dennehy. The referee was Grade 3 student Cooper Moore who was impressive with his great skill and speed and dedication to the game. Although he was dwarfed by everyone else on the ice he still had control of the game most of the time. He was back and forth and up and down the entire ice surface faster and more times than anyone else. The announcer was very professional. In fact, he is almost a professional. Kris Lindberg now announces for the Bentley Generals games, some Blackfalds junior games and some Sylvan Lake minor hockey games, and was in the booth for the Sylvan Lake Kraft Hockeyville NHL game between Calgary and Phoenix on September 24, 2014. What a bunch of good sports! At times it was hard to tell the students from the teachers because some of the students are just as tall or taller and are better hockey players than the adults. The first period was regular hockey. From a spectator’s untrained point of view it was hard to tell who was who because of all the hockey gear and helmets with face masks on everybody. The second period consisted of skills competitions for the fastest skater, and toboggan races with one rider and two pullers per team, and a shoot out. It was all in good fun and the score didn’t matter and it appeared that goalies were exchanged for the third period. Courtney MacMillian and Scott Maetche, teachers at the school, organized the event. More than $1,200 was raised from the event. It went towards the purchase of gift cards that were given to families in the Families-in-Need program at the school so they could purchase what they needed. A little gift bag for each was also included. As long as support is good the event will continue, a representative from the school says.

Good attendance and support for Bentley’s Santa breakfast By June Norvila Almost 40 volunteers assisted more than 300 people who attended the 17th Bentley Santa’s Breakfast on December 13 at the Blindman Valley Ag centre from 9 to11a.m. The free breakfast/brunch, cooked by Community Chest Society volunteers, included fresh cooked pancakes, juice and coffee, Christmas oranges, and yogurt cups, all set up in a buffet help-yourself style. Ongoing entertainment included performances by some members of the Red Deer Rhythmic Gymnastics Club and some Jennifer Johnson Music students. Children were assisted with face painting by the Bentley Boutique gals, made crafts sponsored and coordinated by the Stay and Play Program volunteers, and wrote letters to Santa with Bentley Museum volunteers helping, and had the chance for an up-close-and-personal visit with Santa himself. Families were busy snapping pic-

tures and each child was given the choice of a free book to take home with guidance from Santa’s helper elves. Kathi Issler once again captured a piece of Bentley’s history in another of her gingerbread, icing, and candy creations: this time she reproduced the historic Oxford school building. The lucky winner was Jana Halladay from Bentley who donated it back to be shared in a place “where more can enjoy it” she said. More volunteers and financial aid were also from the local fire department, local library, TOPS, the ag society, Slivers Custom Wood Products, Hans Gelsing Innotech dealer, and many individuals. Donations at the door helped cover the cost of the event. Any profit realized will go towards a future children’s program. Santa’s celebration was coordinated/ sponsored by the Town of Bentley Community Services.

Healthy brains are linked to healthy lives

15012MF0

As we get older, our minds can stall and lapse. You might wonder if this is a “senior moment” or the early signs of dementia. MyHealth.Alberta.ca describes dementia as a loss of mental skills—such as memory, problem-solving, and learning—that’s bad enough to interfere with your daily life. It usually gets worse over time. While dementia is more common as we age, it is not part of normal aging. Research is finding the risk of dementia in later years can be reduced with healthy brain development in early years. Your brain’s development begins well before you are born and continues throughout life. Our early experiences shape how our brains are built. A strong foundation increases the chances of living a longer, happier and more independent life. A weak foundation increases the risks of developing dementia. Some factors that can reduce risk include controlling the use of drugs and alcohol, protecting yourself from head injuries by wearing a helmet when doing activities such as cycling and skiing and continuing to build your brain through education opportunities. What is good for your heart is also good for your brain. It doesn’t matter if it’s walking, jogging, swimming or yoga, if it gets your heart pumping and your blood moving, it can help your brain stay healthy. One theory is that the increased blood flow to the brain due to exercise helps increase thinking and memory skills, and could protect against dementia, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Coping with stress and maintaining good mental health are also important as are keeping in touch with friends and family and doing activities you like. Remembering and thinking, whether through board or card games or attending lectures or courses, preserve brain function. Learning a new language or computer program also appears to be beneficial. The long-term benefits of online “brain games” have yet to be established. Remember, it’s never too late to start to improve your brain’s health.

Keynote speaker teaches women steps needed to embrace change Continued from page 8 However, she began treatment for her stuttering and slowly was able to overcome the speech impediment. “It’s not just cured overnight and you have to learn how to overcome your fears,” she said. In 2005, Nanji gave birth to a daughter, Arissa, and at that point in her life she became even more determined to continue her quest for self-improvement and self-esteem. She was particularly impressed with Michael Losier’s book, The Law of Attraction – The Law of Attracting what you want and what you don’t want. She studied the book and was pleased to see the Losier’s

concepts working in her own life. She also studied neuro-linguistic programming. As well as coping with a speech impediment and learning how to adapt to a strange country, Nanji faced the challenge of weight control. She found her weight ballooned after coming to Canada and, at one point, was wearing size 16 clothes. However, due to her extensive studies regarding behavioral issues and self-improvement, she was able to quit yo-yo dieting and bring her weight under control. She has recently authored a book, Attracting your Ideal Weight – Eight secrets of people who lose weight and keep it off.

Nanji’s opening presentation at the women’s conference will include Unlock the Power of you. She will close the afternoon by guiding her audience through Embracing Change by learning the seven steps and once crucial step to accepting change. “Learning how to drop things off in your life that are holding you back is crucial,” she said. Nanji and her husband, Bradur, own Shanti Wellness and Laser Centre in Wetaskiwin. The author and public speaker said she achieves a great sense of satisfaction out of helping others achieve their own potential. “I really enjoy sharing my message,” she said. “That’s what it’s all about.”

Beat the winter blues 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 gain associated with the illness. Being physically active relieves stress, builds energy, and increases both your physical and mental wellbeing and resilience. 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. For energy throughout the day, eat three meals, and have healthy snacks between meals if you find yourself hungry. Choose foods from at least three to four food groups at meals and one to two food groups at snacks. For more healthy eating information visit www.healthyeatingstartshere.ca Stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle to make sure you drink enough fluid during the day. The amount of fluid you need depends on your age, gender, body size and activity level. Most adults need nine to -12 cups of water per day.
