New police officer at Physican leaves Rimbey clinic Rimbey detachment By Treena Mielke

months in Ottawa providing operational support to the RCMP stationed there. Const. Ogden had requested a posting in Alberta and is pleased to be in Rimbey. “Rimbey wasn’t really on my radar,” he said, “but I really do like it here. It’s a great place and I’m very much enjoying it.” The constable enjoys technology and says he may look into focusing his career on technical crime in the future.

The RCMP in Rimbey has a new member on board. Const. Will Ogden began his duties in Rimbey Jan. 26. The new constable, who graduated in November, comes from King City, a suburb of Toronto. Prior to coming to Rimbey he spent two

One of the physicians from Rimbey Medical Clinic is leaving and, at least at this point in time, there is no one on board to fill the vacancy. Dr. Christine Ellis said Dr. Monica WicklandWeller is leaving the clinic and plans to work for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta as of March 30. “We are trying to recruit a new physician, but at this time we don’t have one,” said Ellis. “We do have some hopeful leads, but so far nobody is coming to take over Dr. Weller’s practice.” Dr. Weller’s departure will mean there are five physicians at the clinic. The Rimbey doctors will only take on pregnant women as new patients as their patient loads are already full to capacity. They will not be able to

accept Dr. Weller’s patients. “The demand is high and we can’t take on an indefinite number of people and continue to give quality care,” said Dr. Ellis. She added that the physicians at the clinic understand that the situation is not ideal and are hopeful a new doctor will come on stream soon.

“Recruiting physicians to a rural location is tough,” she said. “They need to practice a broad range of medicine.” Dr. Ellis pointed out there is round the clock emergency care available at Rimbey Hospital. A farewell open house will be held at the Rimbey Medical Clinic from 1 to 3 p.m. on March 21.

OPINION

What is the best thing about winter? Hey, it’s back. Winter! Time to go sledding and skiing and skating. Time to revel in the winter wonderland we call home. Or not! Well, whether we participate in winter fun stuff or not, this much I know to be true. It is surprisingly chilly, and, once your eyes recover from snow blindness, surprisingly beautiful out there. I don’t love winter by any stretch of my imagination, but sometimes I sort of like it. And when I am not thinking about how cold I am and shivering under my fur-lined parka, which means I am in my car and the heater is working, or in my house and the heater is working, I like gazing at the stark beauty of white on white. It’s nice. Winter’s beauty, like a black and white photo, is simple and quiet and still. I think it would be a good visual for meditation, if one weren’t too cold to be

still and not shiver right out of the meditation mode and into a hot bath. I like quiet and still, I think, but then I remember how Mother Nature comes along with her many cans of spray paint and colours in the wonderful, magnificent colours of spring. I like that, too. But that won’t happen for many days yet, even though I heard the groundhog did see his shadow today, which I think is a good thing. But back to a cup that is half full (whether it be coffee, snow or water) and another neat thing about winter (particularly a winter complete with snow and temperatures that remind

you to be thankful someone invented fire). I like winter because of the opportunity it affords to be either the giver or the receiver of generosity, kindness and good old-fashioned neighborliness. I opened my garage door the other day to see kindness in action. “You shouldn’t be doing that,” I said, but feebly, to the gentleman at the other end of the snow shovel clearing my driveway. “You have a bad back.” He told me just to forget about that for now, briefly interrupting his steady rhythm of tossing snowy shovelfuls of the white stuff to the side of the driveway,

to give me an equally snowy hug. I drive away feeling all humbled and happy to have such a good friend, especially since I only left him and my husband two little muffins to enjoy with their coffee later, scooping up the remainder of the nice big muffins to bring to my girlfriends. Which reminds me of another thing nice about winter! Coffee! Coffee is a rich drink, hot and sinfully delicious and probably full of bad things that will eventually kill us. But, regardless, it sure tastes good!

Seriously, though, it’s not just the coffee that is an anti winter remedy. It’s the friends you drink the coffee with. It’s so nice to take a few minutes (or hours) to have a break and enjoy a coffee with friends. Friends are the double/double that make the drink a little sweeter, a little creamier and just nicer. The bottom line is winter should not be all doom and gloom. Which reminds me of one more thing about winter I like. The end! I like the end of winter.

Time to close doors on many social media profiles We all are beginning to ascend into the New Year. As the months move forward, many of us are starting to abandon our resolutions and we single folk are more concerned with how the evening of February 14th will unfold. New Year’s resolutions are often stated publically between one another and for the first few days of January these resolution updates tend to pollute my Facebook homepage feed. Lots of resolutions are generic: lose weight, eat healthy, read more, become a better person – all of those examples are admirable feats – if conquered. Nobody tends to report their failed resolutions, especially not through social media. I have a silent resolution that started to materialize back before the Christmas holidays. I’m slowly closing the doors on the majority of my social media profiles. These included

Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Tumblr. Many of these social media applications were easy to leave behind when I lost my smart phone and reactivated my archaic flip phone. I’m not an aging man that is grumpy with all the technological change around me; I’m a twentyseven-year old part-time automotive technician and part-time college student. I can honestly say I can remember before the internet existed when I had to ask for a girl’s home phone number; and I would pray to some unseen deity that one of the girl’s parents wouldn’t answer when I called. One day during this previous summer I suffered a tremendous defeat – I lost my smart phone. Earlier in the afternoon that day, I had successfully acquired a beautiful brown-eyed girl’s cell number in an establishment I was eating lunch at,

Jonah Kondro

with a buddy, in Red Deer. It was on the ride home – I was out and about on my Harley – that my smart phone must have slipped out of my pocket succumbing to destruction upon Highway 20. It wasn’t the payout I was charged to remove myself from the smart phone contract and to reactivate my old flip phone, it was losing a pretty girl’s phone number that caused frustration and disappointment. I had visited New York City a few years ago with a friend and his sister. I can-

not recall which year we went, but I remember the time period because it was shortly before the big smart phone boom. This wasn’t around when I got my first smart phone; that was way after the craze commenced. In NYC people would talk to me at the cross walk. Then I would witness New Yorkers talking to each other. Then they would walk down different streets afterwards apparently not even previously had known one another. I sat on the subway and had a light conversation with the person next to me. Standing and reading the Wall Street Journal in front of a Walgreens, a man was walking by and stopped to comment on my tattoos. On the street level people seemed to interact with one another; I hope that remains true of New York City today despite the social media pandemic. Social media and the in-

fection of the smart phone has caused many people to carry themselves with their eyes down at their device. Real conversation between people is becoming a novelty in amongst all the social media profile following, shares, and likes. I personally don’t want to become psychologically attached to an electronic device and I’m glad to be operating an old flip phone again – despite struggling to write text messages using T9. So in wake of this new year we call 2015, I’ve decided to go through the difficult task of decommissioning my social media profiles and maybe I will get to meet a new person without encountering their profile image first. My finger is still hovering over the deactivation icon for my Facebook account though.

The Rimbey Review, Feb. 3, 2015 5

Protecting Canadians from terrorists Our Government is committed to the safety and protection of all Canadians; this is the most important task for any government. It takes strong leadership and courage to act when others would not, when faced with radical evil. The Prime Minister has stated that the Jihadi terrorists have declared war on Canada. One only has to notice the comments made by these radical terrorists to know this is true. With the new session underway there could be no greater distinction between our Government and the opposition parties when it comes to the safety and security of Canadians. The Leader of the Liberal Party would have us only air drop parkas and warm clothing, then watch from the sidelines as defenseless people are hunted down and slaughtered for a difference of belief. That position is unacceptable and un-Canadian. Canada has never stood idle when confronted with a global threat of evil. Furthermore, the Liberal leader has disgraced our men and women in uniform with his cavalier comments regarding our fighter aircraft operations against ISIL. Canada does not simply whip out our F-18â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to engage in conflicts, we take a measured approach that is consistent with our allies in order to ensure Canadians are safe. Canadians are being targeted by terrorists because we have built a society based upon basic human rights and freedoms which these jihadists despise us for. The situation around the world continues to threaten the safety of Canadians and it is crucial that our Government stay the course and remains committed to putting forward legislation aimed at protecting Canadians. Since 2006, our Government has listed numerous terrorist entities under the Criminal Code, passed

MP Blaine Calkins the Justice for Victims of Terrorism, launched our Counter-Terrorism Strategy in 2012 entitled Building Resilience Against Terrorism, passed the Combating Terrorism Act and we have tabled the Protection of Canada from Terrorist Act which will stop those who promote terror by creating a new Criminal Code offence and give broader powers to our national security officials. With this new legislation, the courts will be able to order the removal of terrorist propaganda online; CSIS, under judicial authority, will be able to intervene to prevent specific terror plots while in the planning stages and will prevent terrorists from travelling by enabling the sharing of relevant information across federal departments and agencies. Jihadi terrorism is not a human right; it is an act of war. The measures our Government has introduced since 2006 will strengthen and protect the rights of Canadians against those Jihadi terrorists who seek to destroy the principles which make Canada the greatest country in the world.

Calling all Newlyweds of 2014

By Treena Mielke A cross section of residents and elected officials took part in a threehour interactive meeting conducted by a team of researchers from University of Saskatchewan’s Centre for the Study of Co-operatives which was held in Rimbey last week. Approximately 45 people attended the meeting held at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre last Thursday to participate in the study entitled the Co-operative Innovation Project. The Rimbey meeting was one of about 40 such meetings being held in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia in the next three months. The meetings are the first stage of a twoyear study being held to determine the social and economic characteristics of the communities in which co-operative development is most likely to succeed. Determining which communities have these characteristics is also part of the study. “The meetings are to determine the community’s needs and ability to come together and whether co-operative developments will work in these communities,” said Miranda Gouchie, research assistant. Mayor Rick Pankiw said he found the meeting to be interesting and informative. “I thought it was really interesting and unique to learn what people perceive

as problems.” Pankiw said he found the meeting to be similar to an Alberta Urban Municipalities Association conference. “Everyone has concerns, the hardest thing is finding the answers and it is always good to hear different views.” He said he will be looking forward to getting a report back regarding the comments. “Really at the end of the day, it seems we all struggle with similar issues,” he said, adding that lack of government funding often makes it difficult to find financial solutions to problems. Rimbey was one of the first Alberta communities visited by the university researchers. Information garnered at the meetings will be compiled and later published in print and electronic formats. Reports could be used at conference presentations and in academic journals or books. Names will not be used without prior consent. During the Rimbey meeting, participants were divided into groups and topics related to the community were discussed. Comments were confidential. The Co-operative Innovation Project is funded by Federated Co-operatives Limited in Saskatoon and the study has been approved by the University of Saskatchewan Advisory Committee on Ethics in Behavioral Research.

Rimbey Rimoka project picks up speed “Literally we’re expecting a shovel in the ground in May or June.”

By Amelia Naismith After nearly a decade of discussions the Rimoka Housing Foundation Rimbey seniors’ housing development is expected to break ground in late spring this year. “Literally we’re expecting a shovel in the ground in May or June,” said Rimoka Housing Foundation board chair Paul McLauchlin. Ponoka County, whom McLauchlin is the Reeve of, recently gifted the foundation the 8.64 acres that sits south of the Rimbey Best Western Rimstone Ridge Hotel. The land is worth $310,000. A building committee, a sublet of the foundation, has narrowed down a group of shortlisted architectural

firms to its first, second and third choices. McLauchlin says the ball is now in the province’s court. “The province goes through the same exercise and hopefully they match up,” McLauchlin explained. “Usually they do, they stand out.” He expects an architect will be chosen within the next week. Following that there are still many negotiations to be put in place. “It’s going to move really fast,” said

McLauchlin. “We’re looking at the possibility of a two-story building,” he added. The building itself is estimated to total 480,000 square feet in the southwestern facing field. With a laugh McLauchlin says some people are already canvassing the area, hoping their room is built in a prime location where the mountain can be seen from a window. “It’s actually a pretty nice view out there.” The overall project budget is $15.5 million with 80 per cent to be funded by the province. The Rimoka Housing Foundation will pay approximately $3.5 million.

Terry Engen, a fifth generation Albertan with a solid background in governance at a community and municipal level, has announced his decision to let his name stand for the progressive conservative nomination. Engen spoke to a small gathering at the Rimbey Legion, Feb. 4, laying out his platform in a short presentation. “I’ve always been a PC,” he said proudly, “and no matter what happens on Feb. 21, I will remain a PC. I won’t be looking for a new home or a new party to jump to next.” Engen was the former reeve of Lacombe County, a position he held for six years. Prior to becoming reeve he was councillor and deputy reeve for the county. His leadership background is diverse, encompassing rural and urban issues as well as recreation and youth and senior’s housing. He is the commissioner for the Alberta Energy Regulator and was a board member of the Energy Resources Conservation Board and the Alberta representative of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission (North American). “The oil and gas industry is a driving economic force in Alberta. My experience in this industry has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of landowner rights and industry responsibilities,” he said. Engen was raised in the Eckville area and still lives on the family farm. A native of the province, he knows first hand about the challenges and issues that face Albertans who live, work and play here. His experience as a leader has taught him the importance of understanding the complexities of rural and urban relationships. “We should be here to serve,” he said. Elected representatives must be fiscally responsible and approachable. I have practiced these fundamental principles of governance.” A strong supporter of community, Engen headed the Eckville Arena Operating Association, the recreation board and the community centre board for many years. He was also director of the Eckville Co-operative Association and chair of the rodeo association. “Active, vital and sustainable communities are the mainstay of our province,” he said. The PC hopeful is the chairman of Hockey Alberta and on the board of Hockey Canada. He was the former chairman of Lacombe Seniors and Community Housing Foundation. “Creating social supports and infrastructure and developing individuals builds a better Alberta,” he said. “I am a fiscal conservative, but I do have a social conscience. There will be tough choices to be made, but most Albertans are saying spend within your means.” Engen encourages progressive conservative members to get out and vote at the polling stations which will be set up in Rimbey, Bentley, Eckville, Rocky, Caroline and Sundre. “At the end of the day it’s all about members coming out to the polls.”

Cote to let her name stand as PC nominee for Rimbey-Rocky-Sundre riding By Treena Mielke Bringing a strong united voice for rural Alberta to the table is important to Tammy Cote, who has announced her decision to throw her hat into the political ring. Cote, who is an active member of the Rocky Mountain House community and has 30 years experience at ATB Financial, says she has insight into what is really important to the people in the constituency of Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre. Since making her intention to run public, Cote has met

“I have worked with people from all walks of life and businesses from all different industries. This experience lends insight to what is really important to the people of this constituency.” Tammy Cote with several groups and individuals in the constituency, she said. “People have different priorities and expectations,” she said. “Every community has their key issues and concerns.” The time spent visiting with people in the constituency has affirmed her belief that west central Alberta is built on strong communities where people can make a good living, run successful businesses and support each other. “As a pursuer of the PC nomination, I’ve made three

promises to myself and those whom I may represent,” she said. “One -- I will determine priorities and make decisions that enhance our province, our constituency and our future. Two -- I will maintain a commitment to fiscal responsibility, community and family values, and rural principles. Three -- I will act with integrity. Action with integrity is my mandate.” Cote was born and raised in Rocky Mountain House and is active in the Chamber of Commerce and the health centre fundraising committee. She has extensive training in business analysis and personal finances. “I have worked with people from all walks of life and businesses from all different industries. This experience lends insight to what is really important to the people of this constituency,” she said. For the last three years Cote has spearheaded the publication of a constituency newsletter for the PCs and has held a membership in the party for many years.

To Light A Candle Coming to Red Deer College To Light a Candle, a testament to the spirit and determination of the Baha’i community in Iran, will be screening at the Red Deer College on Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Margaret Parsons Theatre. Through personal stories and dramatic archival footage, To Light a Candle gives a powerful account of the Baha’i people in Iran. This religious minority builds solidarity, resilience and pride among its people through its passion for education. Forbidden from attending or teaching at universities in Iran after the 1979 Islamic revolution, the students and teachers face enormous obstacles. Classes are held in private homes secretly and the threat of arrest is part of everyday life. To Light a Candle highlights how education can play a vital role in supporting communities and sustaining hope. To Light a Candle is sponsored by the Red Deer Baha’i’s and Red Deer College.

LETTERS

Disgruntled voter writes letter to premier about unresolved issues The following is a copy of a letter addressed to Premier Prentice. Dear Premier, I would guess that you are wondering what you were thinking when you rushed into save the PC party. Well, it’s too late now unless you want to cross the floor to the Wildrose party. Well, all that you can do to make it right is become very unpopular in the coffee shop and executive lounge. I realize you probably won’t like my advice. Why should you or the taxpayers take the beating for

the shortfall? We can thank high gas and oil prices for driving the cost of living up, so why not hand the bill to them. They can slow production if they want, but fuel for homes needs to be returned to affordable levels and locked in for everybody. The same for power. I am quite sure if you look at environment, jobs could be regained in a hurry. Don’t believe for a minute it’s been done or they don’t have the money. Take a look at what their CEOs are being paid. Ridiculous!

DAWNA’S FEATURES OF THE WEEK

One paycheck like that and those brains will be fuzzy the rest of their lives. Everybody knows there are hundreds of high paying jobs in the health care system that have to go. They were smart enough to dream up bogus jobs, so if they didn’t put some of that big money away, that’s just too bad for them with no big payout. Doctors’ attitudes need to be adjusted. It’s not a library job they have. If they don’t have the desire to help people and will put in the hours it takes to accomplish the task, they need to get out of town. Our hospitals are not being put to use properly. Every operating room should be in use, not just the ones in the large centers. You might have heard some whining that they can’t even handle maternity cases. Any good nurse can deliver a baby and if the need arises they can fly a specialist in. How about the rules of our roads being completely ignored? Why should the money come from tax dollars to pay officers, when there’s so many begging to donate if someone would write them a ticket? Let’s look at government departments that also have too much top and no working bottom. Mr. Premier, there is no shortage of money if the right choices are made. I don’t care how loud the union howls. If they go on strike, you are saving money every day and the list of those who need to go gets longer. Deep down they know that there are fellow workers who have long ago passed the useful stage. When some people are overpaid it opens the floodgates for others and our oil and gas industry is the leader in this field. They cut quality workers and place spoiled kids in management positions. They hire their buddies and CEOs at ridiculous wages and expect the workers to do more on less, with garbage for equipment. If you don’t think we know how it is, guess again. We’ve been watching for over 60 years and it doesn’t get better with time. They just fade away and are replaced by more of the same. When we look at the people on the ballots at election time, it’s pretty near impossible to pick one that shares your own views on very many topics. But loyalty is a must. So what’s next Mr. Premier? What we watch on TV in those foreign countries? Will that happen here? Will people who are sick of being on the bottom use violence to try and bring back fairness and balance? If you think it’s hard to budget for low oil prices, how would like to budget for a layoff? Maybe an unexpected heart condition with no medical leave or unemployment insurance you don’t qualify for may be issues you have to deal with. How about paying utilities? That is always a shocker, especially if your pension is only half big enough. It sure builds your faith in our province to fill out forms every day, begging for assistance and receiving none. It puts a whole new meaning to budget. Maybe I’ll rush down and get me a raised up pickup and a motorbike. Then I’ll join the Hell’s Angels and straighten this country out.

Rimbey RCMP arrest Edmonton man in drug bust Rimbey RCMP detachment investigated over 59 files in this reporting period Edmonton man charged On January 25, Rimbey Mounties used a size 11 rubber soled key to open another door in town searching for more illicit drugs. Following an investigation, officers under the authority of a search warrant, entered a room at a local hotel searching for narcotics. Police seized cocaine during the raid. A 32-yearold man, a resident of Edmonton, has been charged with possession of cocaine and will appear in Rimbey Court in March. Police will continue to pursue illegal drugs in our community and will use all possible tools and resources available to put those persons involved in jail. Break and enter On January 28, a local home owner residing on Range Road 41 fell victim to a break and enter where the criminals broke into their home and stole jewelry, electronics and other valuables. To add insult to injury, the culprits emptied a can of bear spray in the house contaminating the residence. The thieves then stole the farmer’s Volkswagen and left the scene. Police immediately began investigating this disturbing crime and located the stolen car in Calgary in the possession of a well known criminal who was also in possession off a hand gun with the serial numbers ground off and a shotgun at the time of the arrest. The man has been arrested and charges are pending the outcome of the investigation. Man attacked after leaving bar On January 30, a man was walking home after having a few schnicks at a local tavern and was jumped from behind by two unknown male assailants who repeatedly beat him until he fell to the ground.

AHS announces cost containment measures EDMONTON – Alberta Health Services (AHS) announced today that it is following similar cost-containment measures as those being implemented by the Government of Alberta. AHS received direction from the Ministry of Health on Dec. 22, 2014, to implement cost restraints. “As the organization that receives about 30 per cent of the provincial operating budget, it is fair and reasonable for AHS to control costs in light of the current financial position for the province,” said Vickie Kaminski, AHS President and CEO. “I want to assure all Albertans that we are immediately focused on cost reductions that will not have an impact on direct patient care.” As was outlined by the provincial government, AHS is currently implementing cost-containment measures in three key areas: • Payroll/staffing costs – Each portfolio will have a hiring restraint initiative that takes into consideration a number of criteria before filling a vacancy. Those criteria include whether the position is involved in direct patient care; whether the duties can be consolidated with other positions; and whether the position is regular, temporary, casual, and full or part time. • Procurement of goods and services – Due diligence is to be exercised for purchases not related to direct patient care, and use of consultants and external professional services will be limited. • Grants/discretionary spending – All areas of the organization are expected to achieve a reduction in their travel expenditures and travel is limited to circumstances where connecting electronically is not appropriate (for instance, to provide specific clinical training). Training that requires travel outside of Alberta is restricted to training that is associated with specialized clinical procedures. While these actions are being taken, Kaminski pointed out that realizing significant savings in these areas will be limited due to the fact they represent a small percentage of the AHS total budget and the end of the fiscal year is less than two months away.

Oil and gas proposal could alter county tax steams By Amelia Naismith

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some municipalities, in my opinion, have taken liberties with the fact that oil companies have deep pockets.â&#x20AC;?

Ponoka County has a THE FAMOUS healthy relationship with the oil and gas activity going on

the province will damper any new oil and gas growth in the county but Cutforth says whatever remains active is taxable. In 2014 Ponoka County received just under $1 million in drilling licenses. Companies looking to drill wells apply to the province for a drilling licence and pay certain amounts depending on factors such as depth. A portion of that payment is then given to the county. Because of the low cost of oil Cutforth says the county can expect only $200,000 in 2014, adding another cut to its revenue

With the lowest municipal tax rates in the province Cutforth says the county would have a bit of wiggle room if it came to raising taxes to cover the difference.

By June Norvila Although some say fishing is down in Gull Lake this year, a good number of fish were caught for the annual Monkey Top Saloon fish derby on January 24. Sixtyfive registrants caught 54 fish in the catch-and-release contest. Adventure Fishing Huts donated the registration hut. Jim (the fish whisperer) and Tammy Flanders did the weighing and releasing of the fish. The prize for catching the most fish went to Mel Barred. The prize for the biggest perch caught went to Tyson Andersen and Jerad Heinzia who both had eleven ounce catches. For his 3 lb 2 oz whitefish, Ryan Rempfer won. The biggest ling cod was won by Dave Fever with a 7 lb 4 oz. catch. He also won the biggest pike with his 9 lb 2 oz catch. “It was a good day with fun and laughs,” said Monkey Top owner Becky Kasparsons. They are now readying for their next event - the annual February Sled / Quad Rally. “It has been delayed to February 28 in hopes of a dump of snow,” said Kasparsons, who knows more snow means more entries. People can get more information by contacting the Monkey Top Saloon. It appears the sled rally organizers got their wish of more snow at the end of January and the start of February when the landscape went from shades of brown to pristine, deep white in a matter of a few hours.

Dear Editor, Rimbey, please move snow to center of streets, (one windrow requires less space than two). This will really improve safety, parking, prevent vehicle front-end damage, help for businesses, pedestrian safety and cost of removal. Thank you. Michael Hawkings

KLEIN Marlaine Klein passed peacefully on January 29th 2015, at the age of 66 at the Rimbey Hospital surrounded by her loved ones. She was born May 3, 1948 in Rimbey AB to Herman and Alice Odenbach. Raised in the Rimbey area, Marlaine married Ernest Simpson. Together they had two children, Cheri-Lynn and David. Later Marlaine met Bill Klein. Together they moved to Rocky Mountain House where they lived until it was time to move back to the homestead in Rimbey. Throughout her life, Marlaine had a great green thumb. She was so proud of her gardens and flower beds, which was rightfully so, they were beautiful. Marlaine was able to express her creativity in many different ways. She was an accomplished artist, and many hours were spent at her craft table. Her paintings and Christmas ornaments were marvelous. Marlaine loved being a Grandma. She loved having her family around her and at the farm. She would take each grandchild on their birthday for a special birthday shopping trip. She enjoyed spoiling them with love; and Grandma made sure that no one left the house without Grandmas raspberry jam. Marlaine leaves behind to mourn her passing, husband Bill, two children CheriLynn (Ken) of Rocky Mountain House, David (Becky) of Red Deer; five grandchildren, Jaylene (Logan), Keanna, Keegan, Kaleb and Karter. She will also be deeply missed by her brother Ron and his wife Gina of Spruce Grove along with her nieces and nephew. Marlaine also has many special friends that will feel the loss left by her passing. Marlaine was predeceased by her parents Herman and Alice, her first husband Ernest and sister-inlaw Lois. A Celebration of Life was held from the Rimbey United Church in Rimbey, Alberta on Thursday February 5, 2015 at 1:30 PM with Reverend Deborah Laing officiating. Cremation has taken place and Marlaine’s cremated remains will be placed in the Columbarium at West Haven Cemetery in Rimbey, Alberta at a later date. If friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society Red Deer Unit #101, 6751-52 Avenue Red Deer, AB. T4N 4K8. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca WILSON’S FUNERAL CHAPEL & CREMATORIUM serving Central Alberta with locations in Rimbey and Lacombe in charge of the arrangements.
