RIMBEY REVIEW 3

An 18-year-old Rimbey male faces multiple charges following string of crimes A male suspect and a female suspect entered the Shell station. The male was carrying a brown baseball bat and demanded money and lotto tickets

from the employees. The suspect again obtained an undisclosed amount of money and scratch lottery tickets then fled with the female suspect in an older model brown full size van. On November 19, at approximately 5:45 p.m., RCMP received a complaint of theft of fuel by an individual driving a two-tone older van. The theft occurred at the Pembina Esso station near Entwistle. Edson RCMP members, aware of the robberies earlier that same day, noticed a two-tone brown van matching the description of suspect vehicle. Police initiated a traffic stop but the van did not stop. Police pursued the vehicle, however, due to the concern for public safety the pursuit was terminated. The

Edson RCMP members advised Maythorpe RCMP detachment of the suspect vehicle approaching their area, north bound on Range Road 130. The suspect vehicle was located in a rural location by Maythorpe RCMP members who stopped the vehicle and apprehended Wesley Hassleburger-Wright and a female youth. Hassleburger-Wright has been charged with robbery, robbery with a weapon, wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, possession of a controlled substance (Methamphetamine), possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from a peace officer and fail to comply with an undertaking.

Please accept our gratitude & warm wishes for a beautiful and joyous holiday season! Karen, Jenna, Tina and Kathy

Therapeutic Massage Centre RCMP have charged 18-year-old Wesley Hassleburger-Wright of Rimbey, with 14 offences following a string of armed robberies, theft and flight from police which occurred between November 17 and November 19. On November 17 at approximately 9 p.m. a masked male suspect entered the Husky gas bar located at 5802 on Highway 2A. He carried a baseball bat and demanded cash from the attendant. The male suspect proceeded to smash the debit machine with the bat. The man left the store after grabbing a quantity of scratch lottery tickets and cigarettes. He drove away in an older model two-tone brown van. Members of the RCMP Spruce Grove / Stony Plain /Enoch were dispatched to a complaint of an armed robbery on November 18 at approximately 5:50 p.m. at the Fast Gas situated at 4402-48st in Stony Plain. It was reported that a male suspect entered the store with a brown baseball bat and demanded money from the staff while smashing the glass cover to the scratch lotto tickets. The suspect obtained an undisclosed amount of money and scratch lottery tickets before leaving in an older model brown full size van. Later that same evening, at approximately 7:10 p.m., RCMP were called to an armed robbery at the Shell Gas station in Onoway, at 4921-49 Street.

The 18-year-old has been remanded into custody and is set to make his first appearance in Stony Plain Provincial Court on Wednesday, November 25. A female youth was also

Treena Mielke On The Other Side I began my babysitting duties at 6:45 p.m. and I was totally happy. The child, soft and warm from his bath, wrapped his little arms around my neck and snuggled his diaper clad self deeper into my arms. It was so awesome! I love this, I thought. I am totally at peace, one with the universe. As I held the sleeping toddler, I felt positively overwhelmed with feelings of joy, protectiveness and love. I sank slowly, very slowly into the rocking chair beside his crib, rocking the child

I think the feeling was terror. Anyway, miraculously no one got hurt except for me and that was only when I dropped a corner of the couch on my toe when I was looking for a bullet from a smurf gun. And so the night wore on and the boys continued to behave in very boyish ways and I continued to be terrified. “Are you guys tired?” I asked hopefully. “Nope,” they said in unison. “Anyway, after we are done playing, you have to do my home reading with me and then we each get a story read to us and we have snacks and then we brush out teeth and then we get into bed,” said the six-year-old. “And then we say our prayers and we have

to have water. Not from the tap. We have water from the fridge.” “Okay,” I said weakly. Suddenly I found myself remembering fondly Thursdays, when I have deadlines and stories and I am so busy I eat my lunch at my desk. I had no idea how easy Thursdays were. Well, we read and had snacks and the boys brushed their teeth and finally I tucked them in and listened to their prayers. With no thought at all to being neat and tidy, I kicked the jeans and T shirts they had dropped on the floor out of the way and closed their bedroom door. Now to the dishes. I loaded the dishwasher and filled the sink with soapy water. I love this kitchen, I think. It is so nice.

So modern. I begin to clean with gusto. It was then the child, the cherub in the crib, shattered the quiet with a pathetic wail followed by another and another. I rocked him. He cried. I rocked him some more. Finally, despite his best efforts not to, he fell asleep. Once again, I placed him carefully in his crib and tiptoed out of room. This time I did not smile, only looked wearily at the clock. It was 10:30 p.m. I looked at the half cleaned kitchen and made a quick decision. It could wait until tomorrow. I climbed into bed. I babysat for three days and four nights. Was it perfect. No! Was it the best early Christmas gift ever? Yes, actually it was! It was awesome!

Low price of oil continues to be a concern, now and in the future

slowly, raining soft kisses on his sweet little head. This truly was as good as it gets. Finally, I gently laid him in his crib, and tiptoed out of the room closing the door softly behind me. I smiled to myself as I walked into the kitchen; a secret, self-satisfied little smile. Here it was only 7 p.m. I could do the dishes, play quietly with the other two boys, and then tuck them gently into bed and have the rest of the evening left to my well-deserving self. I’m not exactly sure when reality pierced my little bubble of perfection. It could have been when the baby’s two older brothers decided to be super heros and fly off their parents’ bed while they yelled and waved make believe laser type objects. Or maybe it was when they decided to race each other down the stairs head first while lying on their bellies. As I watched their antics in horror, I experienced a feeling akin to when my own kids first got their driver’s license.

I know it’s Christmas time and we’re supposed to be very happy and optimistic right now. I understand that. Definitely not trying to be a downer. However, I’ve been reading with great concern about the state of the economy, particularly in Alberta, and the platitudes that provincial and federal politicians are feeding us regarding oil patch recovery and the end to a recession that seems like it’s been going on since 2008. Which it has.

The recent provincial budget continues to be a concern to me; the fact we went the entire summer without a budget was alarming. It suggests those people we elected to run our government don’t really know what they are doing, otherwise, why delay the budget? The opposition Wildrose Alliance must feel the same way. They released some interesting data from the federal government’s Parliamentary Budget Officer that strongly suggests the price of a barrel of oil will not get any higher than $55 U.S. by 2018, not a projection of $72 as suggested by the NDP government of Alberta. That’s a difference of about $17. Estimating every $3 on the price of a barrel of oil equals a $500 million difference, by

2018 Albertans are going to be eating another roughly $3 billion shortfall. On top of the problems we have now, such as a 6.5 per cent unemployment rate in Alberta announced in September. Even if you buy the NDP’s $72 a barrel estimate, the provincial government has about 100 school projects on the “to do” list. How they’re going to do that, I have no idea. And if you thought last winter was lean, this one will apparently be worse. According to a report released this week from the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors (CAODC) 2016 could be the worst year Alberta’s oil patch has had since the early 80’s meltdown. The energy industry, according to the CAODC report, has been spooked by

the NDP’s royalty review combined with low oil prices and a shortage of spine among elected officials when it comes to pipeline projects. According to the report, The CAODC’s forecast suggests there will be a 58 per cent decrease in wells drilled from 2014 to 2016 and see almost 30,000 labour jobs shed. Mark Scholz, president of the CAODC, told Global News Wednesday, “The active rig count in Western Canada today is at the same level as we experienced in 1983, one of the worst periods in our industry’s history.” South of the border, U.S. president Barack Obama made the decision everyone in North America knew was coming: TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline to the Gulf of Mexico has

been nixed, probably permanently. Whether the pipeline was good or bad for the economy was moot; Hollywood celebrities decided it was bad for the environment and Obama wouldn’t dream of opposing the environmental lobby with an American election coming up next year. On Wednesday, Nov. 18 TransCanada’s employees started receiving layoff notices. As many of us have friends and family deeply connected to the oil and gas industry, it’s looking like many people we know are going to be living careful lives for the foreseeable future.

Observations taken by a stranger to town

Jonah Kondro I’ve been to San Francisco a couple of different times. The last time I was there was in 2013. I was on a solo motorcycle mission that took me throughout California. My stop in San Fran lasted a few nights. After I had spent a couple of days in the city I was beginning to feel more confident with my surroundings and I ended up in a rundown part of town, the Tenderloin. My intentions were questionable, but I wasn’t looking for any sort of trouble that extended past a visit to the Mitchell Brothers O’Farrell Theater. I didn’t last long at that venue though as they didn’t serve alcoholic beverages. Finding a pub in the Tenderloin of San Francisco wasn’t a difficult task while on foot— dive bars were disseminated throughout the neighbourhood. The establishment I found could have been a setting for a Quinton Tarantino film. I quietly sat up at the bar minding a Jack and Coke. My silent ritual was interspersed with the occasional delight of a Marlboro Red in the open doorway to the bar. Every time I left for a cigarette, I noticed that my previous butt had been removed from the pail that sat in the doorway. The old South Korean barmaid noticed that I was pondering the disappearance of the cigarette butts and told me, when I sat back down, that the bums take them out of the pail. She looked up at the

clock on the wall and told me that the bums will be lining up across the street soon. The soup kitchen in the church, kitty-corner to the bar, opens every day to serve the homeless and hunger a meager meal. The bums were beginning to line up when a man entered the bar and sat a couple of stools down from me. I got the feeling he was sizing me up. He took a couple of sips from his drink and said that he saw me earlier leaving the O’Ferrell, and that I didn’t look like I was from around here. I tried to play it cool and told him that I wasn’t—but I never said from where. I asked how he knew I was a foreigner, and he said that the way I walked and talked gave it away. The man explained that he had be living in a Tenderloin for a while and didn’t like tourists or foreigners in the neighbourhood; he explained that sometimes they exploited the area and treated the bums as side show spectacles. I said to the man that I wasn’t watching the bums like they were some exhibit. The man seemed pleased with my answer and we proceed to talk some more. After a while he complimented me on my respect I had regarded for his neighbourhood. He started rummaging around in small cardboard box in a bag he had with him. They are probably still warm, he said to me, and pulled out a couple of pieces of grilled chicken strips on a stick. I was a little hungry and accepted the man’s food. The old Korean barmaid saw me take the chicken and said she didn’t know I was hungry. From behind the bar she retrieved an apple and gave it to me. I showed some decency towards an unknown neighbourhood and the residents reciprocated by giving me food while the bums across the street stood in line for a cup of soup.

RIMBEY REVIEW 7

Number of graduating students from RJSHS surpass provincial average BY TIM LEKAS, PRINCIPAL, RIMBEY JUNIOR/SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Last month, Alberta Education released its biannual Accountability Pillar Report which is a document describing how each school has performed on a variety of measures during the previous school year. Results include survey data from students, parents and staff on topics relating to education quality, citizenship, school improvement and work preparation, along with data on drop-out rates, and Grade 9 Provincial Achievement Test and Grade 12 diploma exam results. One key item that the school pays particular attention to is the graduation rate. Provincially, approximately 75 per cent of students graduate after three years of high school. Staff at Rimbey Junior Senior High School have spent considerable time working to improve the rates since 2007 when our rate (68 per cent) dropped below the provincial average of 72 per cent. At that time, a number of new strategies were added to a few already in place, in an attempt to improve this measure and the school saw a steady improvement to its highest value of 95 per cent in 2011. For the 2014/15 school year, the graduation rate came in at a very respectable 90 per cent. Strategies currently in place at the school include: â&#x20AC;˘ providing diverse programming, which allows students to take a variety of courses of high interest including marine biology, Lego robotics, 3-D printing, sports training â&#x20AC;˘ embedded tutorials during the school day so staff can provide timely support to struggling students in small group settings â&#x20AC;˘ intervention meetings once per month where staff get together to develop strategies to assist

PROVINCIALLY, APPROXIMATELY 75 PER CENT OF STUDENTS GRADUATE AFTER THREE YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL. students who are experiencing difficulty â&#x20AC;˘ minimum credit requirements in grades 10, 11 and 12, which translates into more students attaining the minimum 100 credits required to achieve a diploma â&#x20AC;˘ a variety of extracurricular programs which helps students feel engaged and connected to their school â&#x20AC;˘ Fall graduation, which provides students with an extra opportunity to meet the diploma criteria over the summer of their Grade 12 year, after they have received their final grades at the end of June. One of the new strat-

egies for the 2015/16 school year will see the introduction of a literacy support called READ 180, which is producing impressive results with students all over Canada who struggle with reading comprehension, a critical life skill. This program will hopefully be up and running by February 1st, 2016. Data from this report plays a very important role in the creation of the annual School Growth Plan, guiding the goal setting for the upcoming year. This plan, formally called the ACE plan, is available for viewing on the schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homepage, rhs.wolfcreek.ab.ca, and can be found under the QuickLinks tab.

Rimbey Renegades team is a diverse group of young people. The group consists of two first year Midget goalies, three first year players, five second year players, eight third year players, and the only female playing Midget level contact hockey in NCMHA. This has created a team that is getting the job done with a 4-2-0 record, which is a good start to a fantastic season. Rimbey Minor Hockey is working towards scoring their own goal against hunger in our community by encouraging all minor hockey families and community members to donate to the Rimbey Food Bank this holiday season. The goal is to collect 260 items for the Food Bank, which is two items for each Rimbey Minor Hockey player. Starting December 1, donations will be accepted at the arena.

The Apex Landscaping Novice Rimbey Renegades and the Rimbey Co-op Novice Renegades participated in a tournament in Airdrie on November 21 and 22. It was a successful and funfilled weekend for both teams.

ADVERTORIAL BY TREENA MIELKE When Neal Johnson was a teenager he was introduced to the fine art of cooking restaurant cuisine under the direction of Jack Webb, former owner of Monteray Jack’s Family Restaurant. Now, several years later, Johnson is back -- cooking in the very same kitchen, in the very same restaurant. The big difference is that he now owns the restaurant along with his partner, Sheena Decker. The young couple is excited and happy to own their own restaurant, which they have named The Three Brothers, in keeping with Rimbey’s history. “It has been my lifelong dream to own a restaurant,” said Sheena. “We both have a passion for cooking,” added Neal. The couple both has experience cooking in restaurants, although Neal veered away from that career choice for several years, opting for the big bucks the oil industry offered. However, the downturn in the oil patch gave him cause to re-consider this choice. “I decided I wanted to start cooking again,” he said. “I always loved it.” He decided to respond to an advertisement for a line cook and phoned his former boss, Jack Webb for a reference. As fate would have it,

Jack received the phone call around the time he was making the decision to retire and a few months later he let Neal and Sheena know his restaurant was for sale. “We were both working as line cooks at the time,” recalled Neal. The idea of owning their own restaurant was overwhelming, but exciting and the young couple was determined to make it happen. A few months later, their dream became a reality. They opened their restaurant on Fri., Nov. 13, but, contrary to superstition, it was a great day and they were kept quite busy from the time they opened their doors until closing. Now, not quite a month later, they are still very busy. “We’ve been busy ever since,” said Sheena. “We’ve been working 14 hours a day.” With their combined talents in the kitchen, Neal and Sheena make a great team. “Sheena has all the recipes in her head and together we just make them come alive on the plate,” Neal said. “Everything here is made from scratch and our vegetables are all fresh,” he added. “We want to offer healthy options,” said Sheena. With her Newfoundland roots, she is anxious to include more

seafood specials on the menu. She and Neal are continually revising and revamping their menu to offer the very best selections possible. The restaurant’s name, The Three Brothers, has historical significance. The three brothers, Ben, James and Sam Rimbey were among the town’s first pioneers. In keeping with the name Neal and Sheena have redecorated the interior with historical pictures depicting the lives and times of the brothers and the town, itself. They have also included a brief history of the town at the front of their menu. The couple is grateful to Rimbey Historical Society and Michael’s Studio for helping them create this historical setting. Staff at The Three Brothers Family Restaurant includes head waitress, Donna Derkatz, hostess, Abbey Derkatz and kitchen help, Marilyn Sweeting. The hours of operation for the restaurant located at 4909- 50 Street are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Breakfast is served Saturdays and Sundays. For the last week in November and throughout December donations for a Christmas toy and food drive will be accepted and donors will receive 10 per cent off their meal. Sheena and Neal would like to thank the town of Rimbey for all their support.

‘Backyard Bird Feeding: An Alberta Guide’ now available

The book Backyard Bird Feeding: An Alberta Guide by Myrna Pearman is now available through Ellis Bird Farm’s store online and at The Kerry Wood Nature Centre. Photo submitted BY TREENA MIELKE Myrna Pearman, a biologist and Site Services Manager at Ellis Bird Farm, derives great pleasure from the hobby of feeding the host of fine feathered friends that flutter about in her back yard. Originally from Rimbey, Pearman now lives on the west side of Sylvan Lake and her yard is a haven for a variety of birds. In her new book, Backyard

Bird Feeding: An Alberta Guide, Pearman offers everyone, the experience bird feeders and those who are taking up the hobby for the first time, a greater understanding of the birds in Alberta, their diets and their habits and what kind of food will be the most beneficial for them. She said writing this book was a challenge, but also a delight. “The response to for our call for photos from back-

yard bird enthusiasts from across the prairie provinces was heartening, and we are proud to feature images from over 60 photographers. All the proceeds from the sale of this book support the good work of Ellis Bird Farm, so I am pleased that it is finally finished and is being so enthusiastically received.” In the book’s introduction, she says it is her hope that the publication will inspire more people to get involved in the hobby of bird feeding, get more enthused about transforming their yards and gardens into havens for birds and other wildlife and learn more about and appreciate the fascinating avian neighbours. “Like millions of other people are in the world, I delight in the hobby of bird feeding,” she said in her book. “Watching, photographing and writing about backyard birds makes me feel connected to the natural world. And it gives me great joy to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with others.” Pearman said her book is an updated version of her book, Winter Bird Feeding: An Alberta Guide. This book,

on learning about natural processes. In her book, Pearman has included the results of a survey conducted by PROJECT WILDBIRD (supported by the Wild Bird Feeding Industry and Research Foundation) between 2005 and 2008. The survey shows that of the 1,300 people surveyed from across Canada and the United States the motivation to feed birds vary.

Fundraiser to be held at Christian School for the Bucerias mission trip Five students from Rimbey Christian School along with four parents will be going on a mission trip to Bucerias, Mexico in January, 2016. They have bought their airfare and have been taking a few Spanish lessons to prepare themselves. For 10 days they will be working at La Fuente Ministries. LFM La Fuente Ministries is a church planting organization with over 50 full-time staff that dedicates all its resources to establish living effective churches in Mexico and throughout the world. They are a non-profit organization in the U.S. and in Mexico. Most of the churches have property and are in various stages of construction. They have training for national pastors and many ministries to help their community with physical needs and each person’s relationship with Jesus Christ. They are non-denominational and enjoy quality relationships with churches from all over the world. They are constantly raising funds for missionaries, national pastors, new church needs and their orphanage (Nana’s House). Some of the work that the students and parents might be doing is helping with their construction needs, painting and clean up. Over the years the group from Withrow Gospel Mission, whom they will partner with, have handed out suppers to the local seniors, done crafts and played with the children at the orphanage while sharing the love of Jesus Christ with them. A fundraiser spaghetti supper for the trip will be held at the Rimbey Christian School on December 3 at 6 p.m. A freewill offering will be taken. There will be a powerpoint presentation showing the progress over the last couple of years. Checks can also be made out to Withrow Gospel Mission with Mexico Mission on the memo line and dropped off at the school. For more information about the ministry go to their website: lafuentemin.com

Since that time there is a better understanding of bird behaviour and population dynamics, and several excellent bird books and Alberta-based field guides, as well as online resources have been made available, she said.

BY TREENA MIELKE The Peter Lougheed Community Centre in Rimbey will be the place to be next Saturday for anyone who wants to enjoy some good old fashioned food and music while helping to promote a good cause. The Charlie Jacobson Band will entertain at the Fifties Fiesta, Chili with Charlie, a fundraiser for the 2016 solar powered music festival to be held this summer, will be held Dec. 5 at the community centre. Tyson Prior from Rimbey will open for The Charlie Jacobson Band who will headline the show. Jacobson, a passionate blues/rock singer/songwriter said he is an old soul, living in a young guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved the old music,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding he his parents are also musicians and he grew up with music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it, it is my passion, my calling.â&#x20AC;? Although only in his early 20s, Jacobson has performed across the Canadian prairies and in the Rockies. He has also

performed at the Monkey Top in Bentley. He is looking forward to playing in Rimbey and wants the event to be similar to an old style country hall dance. Tyson Prior, a singer/ songwriter from Rimbey will open for Jacobson. Prior, a musician who performs blues, bluegrass and old blues tunes, is thrilled to be opening for Jacobson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honored to be opening up for Charlie,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true honor to share the stage with someone I admire. He

truly is a groovy cat and the crowd wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed.â&#x20AC;? Prior moved to Rimbey after meeting his wife,

Courtney here. The couple have two girls, aged five and six. Funding from the Fifties Fiesta will go towards the 2016 solar powered music festival to be held next summer, said Karen Magee. Last year, The Weayaya solar powered music festival was held on her acreage located west of Forshee Hall on the Blindman River. She said the festival was held to promote Alberta talent and also to demonstrate that solar technology is a viable alternative to petroleum, coal and nuclear energy. Weayaya is Sioux for setting sun and symbolizes the end of an era and the down of a new one. Tickets for the event are available at Stationery Stories & Sounds.

RIMBEY REVIEW 15

MLA Nixon speaks out for Alberta farmers

Jason Nixon, MLA Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre Oﬃcial Opposition Whip, Democracy and Accountability Advocate MLA REPORT If there’s one thing we’ve learned about the NDP in recent months, it’s this government loves regulation. In just seven months they have launched initiatives to regulate the energy industry, the environment, education, labour… the list goes on and on. Regulate, regulate, regulate. Regulation is this government’s hammer, its tool of choice for nearly every job. Now the NDP has turned its attention to life on family farms. We all agree that farming practices have changed and will continue to do so. This is exactly why agriculture leaders continuously seek ways

to improve safety. In addition, the government of Alberta has revisited this issue on many occasions, always in consultation with farmers. Here’s the rub. The NDP, unlike any previous government, is attempting to approve its new farm regulations so they come into force just 45 days after first being made public – without consulting farmers first. As you may have heard, the new legislation outlines Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) regulations for farms, opens the door to new employment standards, and expands the Labour Code to encourage the unionization of farm workers. It is transformational policy and farmers deserve the right to be consulted about it before the bill becomes law. My office has already received a flood of concerns. Farm families are worried about what these changes will mean for themselves and their children. Some are concerned that Bill 6 greatly expands the definition of who is considered a farm worker, and even imposes regulations on unpaid friends and neighbours who offer a helping hand. Others have noted that complying with time-con-

suming OHS paperwork and practices will disproportionately affect smaller operations, yet this bill does not differentiate between large operations with dozens of full time employees and smaller family farms. By imposing blanket regulations, this government betrays its lack of basic understanding about the nature and diversity of rural life. This bill may treat all farms as agri-business profit centres in dire need of unionization, but we know that simply is not true. For many of us, the family farm is our home. Nobody cares about farm safety more than the moms and dads who live there. For them, farm workers are more than employees; they are friends, neighbours, and in many cases family. They deserve a real voice in the regulation of their homes. If you are concerned that farmers are being ignored, the only solution is to speak up. Talk to your family. Get in touch with my office. Make a call. Write a letter. Do what you have to do to get the word out. We have to fight for our voice, because we know how this government loves its regulations. Regulation is this government’s hammer. When we don’t speak up, we get nailed.

The first Christmas Farmers Market in Rimbey was well attended and vendors offered a great selection of goods for shoppers to choose from. The next Farmers Market in Rimbey will be held Dec. 5. Morriah Rudnik Photo

Letters

Muslim Imam condemns Paris Attacks Dear Editor, “I am an Imam (Missionary) of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Alberta. I follow the Holy Quran in letter and spirit. And I categorically condemn the attacks in Paris. The Holy Quran states: “whoever killed an innocent person, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind” (3:111). Therefore, acts of terrorism cannot be justified under the name of Islam in any way. I express my deepest condolences and sympathies to the French nation. I pray

that may God grant patience to all those who suffered in any way through these attacks. According to my faith, the actions of ISIS are completely contrary to the teachings of Islam. Terrorists have no religion, as all religions promote peace. Terrorists only try to strike fear in people’s hearts and divide them. But humanity must not play into their hands. We need to remain united to defeat extremism. I pray that the perpetrators behind these attacks are swiftly brought to justice.” Tariq Azeem

MARVIN EARL HEAGY

April 11, 1947-November 24,2014

The rolling stream of life rolls on, But still the vacant chair, Recalls the love, the voice, the smile Of the one who once sat there. It’s been a year since we said our good byes. Continually grateful for what you taught us in life and about life… so fortunate to have you as our Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa. The memories we created are edged in stone and they will live on for eternity. Miss you! Love you! David, Sherri (Rod), Brent, Anesea (Ryan), Lindsey, Taryn, Faith, Quinn & Weston

In Loving Memory DAWAYNE ALDRICH Nov. 4, 1935 - Dec. 6, 2013 God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you And whispered, “Come To Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts Tammy, Mark, and family

For the November 21 Bentley Christmas Farmers Market the weather was unseasonably good. Well over 40 vendors with a wonderful variety of goods for sale, many homemade and unique, were set up in the main hall of the Bentley Ag Centre. There was stitchery, baking, jewelry, crafts, artwork, candy, decorations, gift ideas and much more. Many were regular Bentley Farmers Market vendors and some were new. Many had specialty items for the Christmas season on display. As a fundraiser the Bentley Library Society offered a hot noon lunch that included homemade chili and cold slaw with buns and pickles. There were desserts for the sweet tooth too. “The chili sold well considering (the attendance) but the sweets didn’t hardly sell at all. Just the punch and the muffins (went well),” commented Valerie Anderson, one of the Bentley Library Society volunteers helping serve the society’s lunch. In the back of the hall, the

Bentley curling club was offering their raffle tickets for sale and the Forshee ladies Outlet Get-Together Club had their Bentley 2015 Centennial cook books for sale. People in attendance commented how they enjoyed the festive music. Rick Moore and wife Suzanne Moore from Bentley, with Audrey Graham from Red Deer on keyboard, provided the musical entertainment on stage. “Yes, the entertainment was very good. Everyone seemed to enjoy it,” stated Anderson. The Farmers Market board could have accommodated more vendors at the back of the hall but the main hall was full. The market was open from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Sales appeared low though. Many agreed a disappointing number of shoppers went through. Some other places have also reported less in sales this year. There is always competition with other Christmas markets at this time of year and some think it is a result of the downturn in the economy.

Linda and David Larsen from Bentley were amongst the vendors at the Bentley Christmas Farmers Market. Prairie Post Creations owner David Larsen designs nativity scenes scrolled into pieces of old fence posts and birch wood. He has done it for many years and uses some as gifts. Vicki Bertagnolli of Hillside Soap & Lotion Co. from Leslieville who dressed for the occasion, offered natural handmade soaps, lip balms and lotions made with goat’s milk from a Bowden supplier. Bertagnolli is a regular vendor who says she really enjoys coming to Bentley. June Norvila Photos
