Vandals active at Pas Ka Poo Park BY TREENA MIELKE

Pas Ka Poo Park’s administrator Cheryl Jones attributes the quick action of Rimbey’s volunteer fire department with saving a church at the park from going up in flames last Tuesday. “Thank God for their quick response,” she said. “We are so lucky. It could have gone up so easily and then the rest of the buildings could have gone, too. It would have been a historical catastrophe.” Jones said she got a call about 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday from the RCMP as they needed a key to get to the church. The RCMP told her there had been a fire at the park and they needed to get inside the church to be certain there had been no damage. “I raced to the park with my heart in my throat,” she said. “I just panicked.” However, the firemen had already extinguished a fire in the hay bales beside the church by the time Jones arrived. “Luckily the ground was still frozen and the fire didn’t spread.” She said it was difficult to determine how the fire started in the hay bales that night as it was dark. The next day, however, Jones and volunteer Eric Hornsey discovered the work of vandals in the park and they are certain the fire in the bales was not caused by an electrical malfunction. “Whether they did it deliberately or accidentally, I don’t know,” she said. “But there were people here messing around. They had messed with the nativity scene and

(the statue) of Mary was sitting in a truck (at the museum) and a wagon pulled out on the grass. The big polar bear is missing; it is nowhere to be found and an igloo is all smashed up.” Fire chief John Weisgerber said he suspects the fire was caused by vandals. “There’s nothing else around there to start a fire,” he said.

“We are so lucky. It could have gone up so easily and then the rest of the buildings could have gone, too. It would have been a historical catastrophe.” Cheryl Jones

He agreed it was fortunate the fire didn’t spread to the church. “Old dry wood like that would have gone up very quickly.” Jones said the church was the first building to arrive at the park which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in August. “It (the park) is a beautiful public facility and we want everybody to enjoy it. We are doing everything we can to help people enjoy it and they do come from all over to visit it. It is free and all we ask is that people act responsibly when they come here. We don’t want to have to put everything under lock and key.”

Treena Mielke On The Other Side

Volunteering? What is it and why would anyone become involved in doing something for which there is no financial reward? Those are interesting questions and truly leave one pondering the answers. It seems, especially in today’s hurry up world, there is hardly time to get off the treadmill of work and responsibility long enough to find that elusive ‘me’ time everyone is looking for, let alone take time to volunteer. ‘Me’ time, of course, is

Proofing Deadline Friday at 10 a.m.

very important. Personally, I like that, the idea of taking time for me. Whether it be hot yoga or a simple coffee with a friend or a nice, quiet walk where the gentle sounds of nature calm, inspire and nurture my soul, ‘me’ time seems wonderful. But that brings me back to the question? Why do people volunteer? I would have to say from my personal observation; there are a number of reasons, all of them valid. Firstly, for some unfathomable reason, going above and beyond the ‘me’ stuff provides a payback that is hard to describe, but simply comes with a gut feeling that it is the right thing to do, and, in giving rather than receiving, the world, in some small, mysterious way will be a better place. Volunteers truly enjoy their own personal reward that cannot really be seen, only felt. Really, there is no explanation as to why it is better to give than to receive and to take time to

lend a helping hand rather than worrying about getting enough ‘me’ time. It just is. In the big picture, volunteers are often thought of as the backbone of a community. Why? Mostly, because they are. They truly are! It is volunteers who quietly, without much fuss or ado, dive headlong into projects that paid employees wouldn’t even consider unless, of course, there was a huge ‘overtime’ price tag attached. It is volunteers who are there for youth who have reached a time in their life when they need a friend, a

coach, a confidant or simply another human being who will take the time to listen with an empathetic ear. It is volunteers who walk into long term care facilities and nursing homes and lodges and spend a few precious hours with seniors who are faced with sitting alone through another lonely evening. And it is volunteers who grease the wheels of progress. These are the activators who don’t just sit and watch things happen. They make things happen. Volunteer week is April 12 to 18.

During this week and, of course, not only this week, but during every other week of the year, we need to remember our volunteers and say thanks for a job well done. And, perhaps, even in the midst of our own busy lives, we can take the time to pay it forward and volunteer ourselves. After all, in the long run, time is the greatest gift we can give. And, it is a timeless gift that blesses both the giver and the receiver, not only in the present, but also for years to come. It truly is a gift that keeps on giving!

Visit to Thailand by Member of Canadian Parliament Mr. Blaine Calkins

Production: Red Deer, Alberta Published every Tuesday by PNG Prairie Newspaper Group in community with: Publisher: Fred Gorman

MP Blaine Calkins

Ottawa, Ontario – Mr. Blaine Calkins, Member of the Canadian Parliament, was in Bangkok today for meetings with local interlocutors. Mr. Calkins met with members of the Thai Board of Trade (TBOT) and the Thai private sector to discuss commercial relations, particularly with the Province of Alberta, take stock of the TBOT’s produc-

tive visit to Canada in late 2014, as well as discuss the successful Canada-ASEAN Business Council meetings held in Bangkok last month. Mr. Calkins noted the significant opportunities for expanding two-way trade and investment, and stressed the importance of a predictable business climate and the rule of law to trade partners.

Mr. Calkins also met with members of the ThaiCanadian Parliamentary Friendship Group. He reiterated Canada’s expectation that democratic governance be restored in Thailand as soon as possible through free and fair elections, while also highlighting the importance of a transparent, inclusive reform process. “Canada and Thai-

land have a long history of friendship and cooperation,” said Mr. Calkins. “Once a democratically-elected government is in place, we look forward to renewing official engagement between Canadian and Thai Parliamentarians, and strengthening cooperation in such areas as governance, business, and people-topeople ties”.

Making the difficult call Edmonton, Alberta – Alberta RCMP wants all Albertans to know that they have a critical role to play in identifying people who may be vulnerable to recruitment by terrorist groups. In many instances, it is those closest to a radicalized individual, or an individual undergoing radicalization, who witness the changes in the individual’s behavior, beliefs, activities or topics of conversation that often accompany radicalization. While the RCMP acknowledges that it may be particularly difficult for friends, parents or family members to come forward to police, notifying authorities allows police to intervene at an early stage, before an individual has the opportunity to engage in violence which may harm members of the public or even themselves. Support coming from family, friends and the community for those who do bring their concerns to police is very important to this process and the RCMP will engage various supports that are appropriate to the people in need. As well, it is important for the public to consider the privacy of the people involved in these situations. “Making the call might be difficult, but not as hard as dealing with what might

happen if you don’t pick up the phone,” Inspector John Baranyi, Officer in Charge of the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in Alberta (INSET). “Early intervention is the only way to ensure that the individual gets access to the necessary support and assessment services before they do something they can’t undo.” As part of its national security mandate, the RCMP has developed initiatives aimed at mitigating and countering any threats to the security and safety of Canadians, their livelihood, their property and critical infrastructure on the national, provincial and local community levels. At the same time, it must be recognized that protecting Canada’s national security requires the awareness and active engagement of citizens too, as it is a shared responsibility. “Unfortunately, radicalization is something that can happen in any family or community, so every Canadian has a responsibility to help the police make sure it does not lead to senseless violence,” says Inspector John Baranyi.

Wildrose candidate gears up for spring provincial election BY TREENA MIELKE

Wildrose party candidate Jason Nixon is not surprised there is an election looming. “I figured we’d be going in the spring,” he said. Nixon, who will represent the Wildrose Party in the May 5 election believes Premier Jim Prentice pushed the election ahead while the Wildrose Party was still reeling from the effects of having nine elected representatives cross over. But he is confident the Wildrose, though faced with the challenge of rebuilding, is up for the political race to the polls. “I don’t think he was prepared for us to have our new leader in place as soon as we did,” he said. Nixon and his camp are traveling throughout the constituency in a mobile office

and are busy knocking on doors to chat with constituents. The young candidate is enjoying being on the campaign trail. “I’m excited to go and debate the issues,” he said.

“I figured we’d be going in the spring.” Jason Nixon

Nixon is pleased the Wildrose party has come up with five sturdy planks to nail down their platform. He is confident these objectives which include no tax increases, a balanced budget, patient centered health care, improved transparency and a strong rural Alberta will benefit the province as a whole. “The PC’s plan means higher taxes, higher spending

and less services,” he said. “Wild Rose means no tax increases, economic growth and services focused on outcomes. “We are the only party standing between Alberta and higher taxes,” he said, adding Albertans have suffered from decades of PC waste. “Our plan will not hurt front line services.” Nixon said the Wildrose party will release more details during the next few weeks of a plan that will continue to save taxpayers dollars. Nixon, the former Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre constituency president defeated MLA Joe Anglin in a nomination race last summer. The 30-something father of three lives west of Sundre in the Bearberry area with his wife and children.

MLA Anglin’s political goals and objectives remain the same BY TREENA MIELKE

MLA Joe Anglin is running in the May 5 election as an Independent and he is confident this is the role in government where he can best serve his constituents. “There is a lot of anger and frustration out there,� he said. “People are really upset with the PCs and the current state of affairs. I think people need a choice and I can give them that choice.� Anglin said his political views have not changed since he first threw his hat into the political ring. “I entered politics with a

commitment to fiscal responsibility and a goal to improve upon Alberta’s educational system, senior’s care system, PDD Care system and the health care system,� he said. While his goals and values have never waivered, he believes his experience representing the Wildrose and his initial decision, which never materialized, to run for the PCs has shown him he can better serve the people as an Independent. “I know I can be very effective as an Independent. I can be there one hundred percent of the time and I don’t have to represent a

Party. Really, I kind of wish there was more Independents.� Anglin said his past experience and passion will serve him well. “I am extremely proud to be the first Independent Member of Alberta’s Legislature to have a Private Member’s Bill pass in 91 years. I am only the second Independent Member in the history of Alberta’s Legislature to accomplish this feat.� Anglin is worried that the PC budget will adversely affect future generations, noting the three per cent increase they have allotted for

education will not keep up with population growth. He views the budget as littered with wasteful spending and full of tax increases which are being imposed on the backs of workers. “It leaves our most vulnerable behind,� he said. While Anglin has no crystal ball to determine how the voters will cast their ballots, he is confident he would be a good choice to represent the people of his constituency in the legislature. “If they evaluate me on experience and effectiveness, I would get the job,� he said.

After a long and successful year of curling and even a sturling tournament, the Alder Flats Community Agricultural Society would like to send out a sincere thank you to those involved. Special thanks to our ice maker, spear heads of the Oilmens, Ladies, and mixed bonspiels and round robin play, junior curling coaches, all of our sponsors and donors, volunteers on the ice, in the kitchen, and in the bar, and to all of those who came out to watch regular folks curl a few rocks. We look forward to a fun and even more successful year of curling next season. If you would like more information on curling in 2015/2016 season in Alder Flats, please check out www.alderflats.ca, our facebook page or contact one of the ag. society members for start dates and fees. Again, without all of this help and volunteerism, we could not run such a successful program in such a small community.

Cowboy Kondro crashes the Rimbey Hooves and Horns Bullarama Jonah Kondro

The closest I’ve ever became to becoming a cowboy was when I learned to ride a horse. I was still within my elementary school years and the saddle I used was customized by my grandfather – the stirrups had to be shortened to less than

half their original length. On Mum’s side, my grandparents owned an acreage just off of Centerview Road – the acreage was oddly named “The Ol’ McCreadie Place”. It was during my visits on weekends and weeks of my summers there that I would learn to ride a horse named “Thunder”. As far as cowboy credentials are concerned, riding Thunder brought me pretty close

to earning my Wild West sheriffs badge; however, in hindsight I would have likely became a Jesse James outlaw versus a straight cut lawmen if I continued to pursue the cowboy life. I still wear cowboy boots though – they work well when I’m riding my iron horse. Music and apparel tend to define subcultures, and I can’t say that living in Rimbey had me fall in love with the twang of country music; but I can admit that my CD collection has music by Steve Earl, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash. Just prior for an evening spent at the 2015 Hooves and Horns Bullarama here in Rimbey, Cash was spinning in my CD player while I dug my subtle black collared Wrangler shirt out of the back of

my closet. My sister was in town visiting her boyfriend’s family, and one of my cousins also appeared within the county to celebrate the Easter weekend – all of whom were attending the Bullarama. Someone said “beer gardens”, and there wasn’t any hesitations in appearing myself. I arrived almost late; my camera decided to play hide and seek before I left the house. And when I got to the Peter Lougheed Community Centre, I was refreshed to see that leggings and Lululemon Athletica hasn’t completely taken over the planet, and that some girls still wear blue jeans. I felt as though I was likely the only one in the building with Motörhead tattoos, but regardless of whatever culture a person is from ev-

eryone can agree on a cold beer and fireworks. The show started with a blast. I had barely managed to get a mitt full of drink tickets and a beer when all the cowboy competitors were lined up within the ring and indoor fireworks were igniting the evening. I managed to snap a bunch of terrible photos of the bull riders competing from Alberta to Australia. Throughout the majority of the evening I was up against the metal fencing that separates the spectators from the animals. My photography was still going poorly when a stubborn bull refused to exit the ring despite the methods of the animal controllers (which I believe is a modern phrase for rodeo clowns). The animal likely sensed that I was a fan of Motörhead and not

George Strait and had begun to test the fencing I was on the other side of. I could feel the heat from his snort as he started to posture and kick dirt behind him. I bounced back from the fence – automatically defaulting to a boxing stance. The bull snapped forward having his head contact the fence. A black speaker that boomed the announcer’s voice and event music held my beer quite nicely; but the exchange between the aggravated bull and the fence caused my beer to be launched from its safe perch on the speaker. I didn’t get a clear photo of my encounter with the bull and my beer split. I can appreciate the athleticism of the bull riders. continued on page 14

Cote ready to go to the polls to represent the PC party BY TREENA MIELKE

The premier’s decision to go ahead with an early election is fully supported by the PC candidate for the Rocky Mountain House-Rimbey-Sundre riding. “The face of the party has changed. Under a new leader and MLAs who were elected under a different banner, the premier is right to seek a mandate. It is also good that Albertans have the opportunity to have their say about a very different budget than what they have seen before,” said Tammy Cote. Cote has set up her campaign office on the main street of Rocky Mountain House, but plans to travel extensively throughout the riding and is looking forward to visiting Rimbey. “People have different priorities and expectations,” she said. “Every community has their key issues and concerns.” Cote notes that the provincial budget has received criticism by Albertans, but she believes it is fair and balanced. “Budgets are never popular,” she said, “but I believe it shows a fair balance between keeping taxes low and still being able to offer quality services that Alberta expect.” Cote said the budget was determined by keeping in mind that the economy is fragile and tax increases were measured and kept relatively small. She said Alberta remains the lowest taxed jurisdiction in the country. “We have a very solid three year plan and Albertans can look forward to the fact we won’t be running a deficit in three years.” Cote also stressed that by the year 2019/2020 half of the revenue coming from the resource industry will be placed in the contingency fund and Heritage Trust Savings. “It is important to me that we capitalize on the wealth of our natural resources. We need to save money efficiently and not through the slash and burn approach.” Cote is passionate about working hard for the people

NOTICE: The Rimbey Gas Plant will be taken offline from April 24 to May 13, 2015 to complete a major turnaround of the facility. Turnaround is a time when the gas plant is taken completely offline and all equipment is drained, depressured, cleaned and thoroughly inspected. All reasonable efforts will be taken to minimize the amount of gas flared while depressuring the plant and raw gas gathering systems. During the turnaround there will be workers, equipment and services on site, over and above that required for normal plant operations. This will result in extra traffic in and around the plant for this time period. Keyera Corp. and its’ partners in the Rimbey Gas Plant appreciate your cooperation and support as we continue to maintain and update the facility with new technologies. For any concerns please call, Murray Loyek at 403-843-7146 or Bob Morrish at 403-843-7113.

of her constituency to ensure it remains a beautiful, viable place to live. “I have worked with people from all walks of life and businesses from all different industries. This experience lends insight into what is really important to the people of

Earth Day on April 22 SUBMITTED

The Beatty House Society has members who have been actively involved in environmental issues and stewardship for many years, and have worked locally, regionally and even internationally to care for nature in sustainable ways. This Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, the society members have decided to focus on the growing issue of nature deficit, where Canadians, especially children, are increasingly having little or no connection to the natural environment during their day to day activities. According to Richard Louv, who coined the term, “Nature-deficit disorder is not a formal diagnosis, but a way to describe the psychological, physical and cognitive costs of human alienation from nature, particularly for children in their vulnerable developing years.” Is a mouse a critter or a computer pointer? Is Treehouse a place to play or a TV station? An Apple a fruit or a brand? What about a Blackberry? Children in our highly connected world are in fact very connected to nature - but many only via their devices and videos. Several game, toy and movie companies such as Disney tap into children’s love of animals and nature, but are the kids actually getting out there? Are they smelling the flowers, getting dirty, and going wild? Where can Rimbey kids have access to real nature day-to-day especially if they live in town? Do parents feel comfortable allowing their kids to ramble? This is a concern because there is a growing body of evidence that children playing indoors – safe on their devices – has led to a decline in fitness and rise in obesity. Some studies suggest that there may be a link with mental health issues such as stress or depression and nature deficit. And the reverse seems to be true: that the more often a child connects with Nature and is free to play, to create in spontaneous non-directed even risky activities, there is a related improvement in wellbeing.

The contingent of volunteers in Rimbey is truly an asset to the town and all those individuals who give willingly of their time and expertise deserve recognition. Katherine Winters, volunteer services co-ordinator for Rimbey FCSS said she is grateful for the many volunteers who step forward to help out whenever and wherever they can. “We have about 160 volunteers,” she said. “Some come only once a year to help out and others come every week. I can schedule whatever time works for everyone, so those who don’t have as much time to volunteer can still be involved.”

“We need to get the youth involved and rejuvenate our volunteers.” Katherine Winters

However, Winters noted many of the volunteers are seniors and younger people are needed to step up to the plate to fill their shoes. “We need to get the youth involved and rejuvenate our volunteers,” she

Hooves and Horns Bullarama continued from page 8

15042MF0

Within eight seconds an animal, sometimes weighting over twenty-two hundred pounds, would kick, buck, and thrash till either the cowboy made his eight or landed upside down in the dirt. Thankfully it appeared as though none of the animals or competitors sustained any serious injuries. It’s plausible to say though that many bulls and cowboys alike may have suffered from sore backs the next day. I tried to remember who the champion cowboy was of this western gladiator event, but like a gopher with ADD, my attention was diverted to the other side of the area where the band KixxSin was about to start performing. An uncle of mine out of Calgary had sent me a text the day before promoting some of the band member’s attributes. With an open mind I hung around enjoying the sociology experiment known as a Cabaret. Two things are certain in my life, I can’t dance and I’m too fat to fly. I proved half of this statement during the Bullarama dance; my dance moves probably looked like I was ready for takeoff. My cousin, who is accustomed to the electronic dance music that pollutes Edmonton’s nightlife, was getting a west of the 5th education. After a few tunes and a final beer I decided to escape the ensuing madness.

Construction starting on new Bentley subdivision BY JUNE NORVILA

Land moving equipment has moved in and construction on phase one of a new Bentley subdivision is now underway. The plan from the company doing the Summersault Residential Development is for 33 townhouse lots and six single-family dwellings on the 7.7 acres included in phase one.

Market and economic conditions will dictate to the developer how fast expansion will take place. Bentley town administration estimates servicing costs (water, sewer, roads) to be around a million dollars. Town mayor Lynda Haarstad-Petten is excited to have growth happening. The town annexed the 44 acres on the north-west side of Bentley at least 30 years ago and it has sat idle as farmland until now.

Earth Day to be held on April 22 Continued from page 10 After school from 3:30 to 5 p.m.at the Beatty Heritage House, Parentlink and Neighbourhood Place leaders and Beatty Heritage House Society volunteers are going to get wild with kids. During this free open house, there’ll be both indoor and outdoor activities tied to playing in and with nature, and will run rain or shine. In the evening from 7 to 9 p.m. the Rimbey Municipal Library has generously offered to host an evening to highlight the issues around nature deficit in our computer and safety focused culture, with two related Earth Day evening events geared to parents. First at 7 p.m. Todd Niven an outreach educator from Waskasoo Centre and Kerry Wood Nature Centre, will be talking about the importance of getting kids outside and connecting with nature, and will be giving encouragement and tips to parents to make it happen
