Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson
Coun. Gayle Rondeel
Coun. Jack Webb
By Treena Mielke
There was a few tense moments at council’s organizational meeting, Oct. 22, when a secret ballot was called to determine who would represent coun-cil on the Rimoka board.
Once the vote was counted, it turned out Coun. Jack Webb, who has represented council on Rimoka for two years was ousted from the posi-tion by Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson and Coun. Gayle Rondeel.
Mayor Ibbotson and Coun. Rond-eel, who replaced former councillor Joe Anglin on the board, each said ear-lier they wanted to sit on the board.
“I would like to be more involved in Rimoka; what they do and how they operate at a board level. I look for-ward to the opportunity of being part of their efforts,” said Ibbotson after the meeting.
Coun. Rondeel said later she wanted to be on the board because of her concern for seniors in the commu-
nity. “The level of support for seniors, whether they are active and mobile or need a higher level of care, is impor-tant to me.”
Coun. Jack Webb said he enjoyed his time on Rimoka board and is dis-appointed he will no longer represent council in that position.
He said he, too, cares about the seniors in the community, noting his family roots go back generations in Rimbey.
“Does anyone here think I didn’t do a good job while I was on the board?” he asked council before the vote was taken.
Webb was assured that his time on the board was well spent and he repre-sented council well.
Assistant CAO Melissa Beebe said it is unusual to have three vying for a position on a board, but if it does occur, a secret ballot is held.
There were few changes to the other boards and committees for town council.

Anglin speaks out against the Electric Utilities Amendment Act
By Treena Mielke
MLA Joe Anglin is less than im-pressed with a new bill introduced by the Tories to ensure all future trans-mission line projects are reviewed and approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission.
“Every jurisdiction in North America uses a utility board to make decisions,” he said.
Anglin, the Wildrose MLA for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre, said the bill was changed by the Conservatives in 2009 to elimi-nate the process of approval by the AUC, and instead making it law that the provincial cabinet approve the projects.
Anglin said his primary bone of contention with the bill is the govern-ment wants to leave the lines in that they have already approved.
“That is problematic on a multi-tude of levels.”
The MLA said DC power lines have been approved between Calgary and Edmonton at an additional cost of $2 million.
“No one can answer the question as to why DC lines were used,” he said. “Who made that decision? No-body seems to know. And what does it get the public?
Anglin said the issue may be de-bated in the legislature Oct. 31. “They are wasting a lot of money.”
Bill 8, the Electric Utilities Amendment Act, 2012, is based on input from Albertans and a direct response to a key recommendation in the Critical Transmission Review Committee report, which the prov-ince accepted in February.
Under the Electric Statutes Amendment Act, 2009, the govern-ment approved the need for four criti-cal transmission infrastructure proj-ects. These included the Heartland transmission line, the Edmonton to Fort McMurray transmission lines, re-inforcement lines between Edmonton and Calgary (north-south lines), and a Calgary Substation. These projects will all continue as plans; however, all new projects will be subject to the AUC needs-assessment process.
In its report, the CTRC reaffirmed the need for the north-south projects.
“Alberta needs strong transmis-sion as our province continues to grow,” said Ken Hughes, minister of energy. “Allowing the electricity regulator to determine need will give confidence to Albertans that projects moving forward will help power our homes and communities.”
Accident: Rimbey Volunteer Fire Department, Rimbey RCMP and emergency crews responded to an accident on Highway 20 at Range Road 32 between a truck and a car. The accident oc-curred at around 5 p.m. and traffic was down to one lane until around 6:30 p.m.The drivers of both vehicles and a passenger in the car suffered minor injuries in the accident.

Council notes and highlightsBy Treena Mielke
Council, at its Oct. 22 regular meeting, heard from a representative from the Central Alberta Immigrant Women’s Association.
Tabatha Phiri, program co-ordi-nator for Women’s Economic Secu-rity and Safe Home Program from the Central Alberta Immigrant Women’s Association told council the program is looking for people to participate in focus groups who have immigrated to Canada and have had challenges find-ing employment, encounter language barriers, cannot find adequate hous-ing and are facing other challenges. Anyone interested in participating is asked to contact the Central Alberta Women’s Association at 403-341-3553 in Red Deer.
The women’s association also wants a representative to sit on the ad-visory board.
Council forwarded the information provided by Phiri to FCSS.Walking trails budget deferred
Council deferred a decision to fund walking trails until budget meet-ings that are to be held in November.
The recreation board is looking
to extend the existing trail north from the RV Park to the Best Western Hotel area. Costs to develop trails is estimat-ed at $125,000 per kilometre.
Administration will meet with Tagish Engineering and the rec board to determine the trail location, length, surveying and right of way agreements with landowners as well as construc-tion costs.Rimoka’s Rimbey project looking good
Coun. Gayle Rondeel reported she had attended an annual general meet-ing of Central Alberta Seniors’ Hous-ing Association Oct. 19 at The Black Knight Inn in Red Deer. Mike Leath-wood, assistant deputy minister for Alberta Municipal Affairs, reported on the Rimoka’s Rimbey project for se-niors housing.
“He said they were very close with the re-development application and Dennis Beasley, who is the CAO of Bethany Group, said this is very sig-nificant because it is the first time the project has been mentioned at a public forum by the government.”
Rondeel sees this as a positive indi-cation of the project moving forward.

Every week should be Small Business Week. The growth of Rimbey’s economy doesn’t just
happen — it’s driven by small businesses and their patrons who have an incredible influence on success. From restaurants to car washes and your hometown newspaper, small businesses have a huge economic impact on our commu-nities.
Today is certainly a period of opportunity and crisis for small businesses in Alberta. It takes a lot of courage to be in business.
Economies are growing and creating huge emerging mar-kets. Businesses are setting their sights on the enormous potential of these expanding new economies. To survive and thrive, our small town entrepreneurs need to be part of this movement by taking advantage of the tremendous opportunities arising in a world without boundaries. Even as some small businesses are lay-ing off workers, there are still lots of job openings to take up the slack.
Certainly the entrepreneurial spirit of these business owners is inspiring: they have an idea, a business plan and the drive to see their dream come true. With their ideas they are making our communi-ties better places to live and work. They make our communities stand out from the cookie cutter power centres that assault the scenery on your trips to the Big City.
Shopping locally recycles your paycheque through the community. Local small businesses use local suppliers, pay rent to local landlords, adver-tise in community newspapers, and open accounts in our banks and credit unions to pay their bills and employees.
A vibrant downtown must be a central part of planning Rimbey’s economic future. Rimbey’s plan-ners, facing a new set of growth challenges, must be reminded that there are a number of economic, social and environmental benefits to strengthening local businesses. We are facing the challenge of pre-serving historic small town values without stifling economic growth. We need to retain our commu-nities’ character and values while at the same time providing and nurturing new economic opportuni-ties.
A dozen small businesses, offering a multitude of product and service choices, will do more for the community and competitive pricing than a couple of big box stores giving us the same product at “bar-gain” prices.
We need prosperous small businesses in our lo-cal economies. Without them, we lose our power to influence the decisions that affect our community.
On a personal note: Congratulations to my old drinking and fishing buddy, Randy Bertrand, re-cently retired as the Town of Devon’s manager of economic development.
The Alberta Tourism Awards Committee has given him the 2012 Alto Ambassador Award for his outstanding contributions to Alberta’s tourism indus-try. Randy was an inspiration to many of us on the economic development board and chamber of com-merce in Devon. He is known throughout Alberta as a leader and true ambassador of tourism. His vision and dedication has contributed to tourism becoming the largest economic driver in Devon, which now welcomes more than 750,000 visitors annually.
His successes are proof this economic develop-ment mumbo jumbo actually works.
Stockton-on-Tees, a small city in northeastern England, has only one claim to fame: the first-ever train ran from Stockton to Dar-lington in 1825. But it might one day have another claim: a locally based start-up company called Air Fuel Synthesis has just produced the first gasoline from air and water.
It isn’t a lot of gasoline — five litres (one gallon) in two months — but Peter Harrison, the company’s chief executive, hopes within two years they will build a larger plant producing a tonne a day. He envisages refinery-scale opera-tions within 15 years.
“We’ve taken carbon dioxide from air and hy-drogen from water and turned these elements into gasoline,” Harrison told a conference at the Insti-tution of Mechanical Engineers in London. Since the carbon dioxide that goes into the air when this fuel is burned exactly equals the amount taken out of the air when it was fabricated, it is a carbon-neutral fuel. Provided, of course, the electricity used in the process comes from renewable sourc-es.
No wonder people who worry about global warming are excited about this breakthrough — but chemists have long known how to create a complex hydrocarbon like gasoline from just air and water. The question is how much it costs to do it, compared to just pumping oil out of the ground and refining it.
The answer in the past has been: far too much. Splitting water molecules takes a lot of energy. Carbon dioxide is freely available as the by-product of burning coal, gas or oil but using that CO2 as the feedstock for artificial gasoline only postpones the moment when it gets into the atmosphere.
If you want a truly carbon-neutral fuel, then the carbon dioxide you use must come straight from the air. Prototype machines have been built
(by Klaus Lackner of Columbia University and David Keith of the University of Calgary) that can extract CO2 from the air in industrial quantities, but the
price per tonne at the moment is about $600.
That’s far too much but as Lackner points out, the cost of any new technology plunges steeply once it goes into volume production. And the cost of getting hydrogen from water may also drop dramatically. Daniel Nocera of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed a catalyst made from cobalt and phosphorus that can split water at room temperature.
Peter Harrison is cagey about his current production cost per litre, but as he told The In-dependent in a recent interview, “You’re in a marketplace where the only way is up for the price of fossil fuel. At some point there will be a cross-over where our fuel becomes cheaper.”
David Keith sees it the same way. “You’re selling this fuel, and they’re burning it, putting carbon in the air but then you’re recapturing the same amount of carbon and selling it to them again. That’s a business model that could con-ceivably take a whack at the global transportation market, which is the hardest part of the climate problem to attack.”
Maybe Harrison’s process will not win the race to capture that market. Maybe the cheaper option will be to grow green algae in wastewater or salt water, crush it to extract the oil and then refine the oil into gasoline.
But one way or another, the gasoline we put in our vehicles in 25 years’ time will probably not come out of the ground.

Rimbey great community to live inDear Editor:
I came to Rimbey 11 months ago. I came to cover a three-month sick leave for Rimbey Victim Services.
I am now leaving to move to Mexico with my family.
I just wanted to take a minute to tell the community how absolutely awesome the people on Rimbey and district have been to me and my daughter.
I could name so many places like the library, the post office, the churches, interagency, the schools, the art club, the Lions, the Royal Ca-nadian Legion.
I could go all day telling what great groups and business you have.
I appreciate all of you.I have enjoyed the friendships,
the kindness and the acceptance. I appreciate all the wonderful meals and fun house sitting jobs in and out of town.
Victim Services has a great board and group of compassionate advo-cates.
Everyone made my job easy.I must also remind you that the
Rimbey RCMP is composed of many caring individuals who work very hard to keep your community safe.
Thank you for the Rimbey expe-rience.

The sad state of
the beef industryThe most recent massive recall at
Alberta-based XL Foods is the last thing the Canadian beef industry need-ed, especially as it supplies 40 per cent of all beef consumed domestically.
This incident may yet again dam-age the industry’s already fragile im-age, particularly considering that the USDA may have discovered the out-break before our own Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
As consumers are questioning their relationship with their steak or ham-burgers, the beef industry in Canada continues to work to recover from the 2003 mad cow crisis. Given the poten-tial impact of this recent incident, it may never.
On May 20, 2003, international borders were closed to the import of Canadian beef almost immediately following the announcement that mad cow disease had shown up in an Alber-ta Black Angus breeder cow.
Thankfully, the cow didn’t get into the human food chain but the damage was done. The embargo lasted more than two years and the industry lost more than $4 billion.
Domestically, however, Canadians kept on buying beef. In fact, Canada be-came the only country in history to have seen its beef retail sales go up after dis-covering its first native mad cow case. In a time of crisis, Canadians showed solidarity toward their farmers. Indeed, Canada Food Day, a national event that celebrates local Canadian food prod-ucts, began as a response to the mad cow crisis. Overall, from the perspec-tive of Canadian consumers, this poten-tially disastrous incident never became a food safety-based confidence issue.
However, nine years later, times have changed. More Canadian con-sumers are having serious conversa-tions about diets, trends and global food systems; that is, they care more about where their food comes from. In addition, aggregated food demand in the country is fragmenting faster than ever; many consumers are increasingly shopping with a conscience, asking questions about such issues as condi-tions of production, which includes the issues of animal welfare, fair trade and organic farming.
As these and other questions get
deeper traction in our collective Cana-dian food space, producers must rec-ognize that critical consumers are in-creasingly a force to be reckoned with. As a result, demand for beef has been shrinking slowly but surely since mad cow hit the sector almost a decade ago. To make matters worse, the sluggish economy has compelled consumers to opt for options such as cheaper proteins like chicken and other substitutes.
The beef industry is also facing some major challenges in interna-tional markets. In 2003, the Canadian dollar was at 73 cents US; as a result, America, historically our biggest ex-port market, considered Canada as an affordable source of fresh beef prod-ucts. Now, with the dollar hovering at around parity versus the American greenback, the Canadian beef industry is regarded differently down south.
For Americans and other export markets, the macro-economic envi-ronment has forced our beef industry to charge more for virtually the same product. Since 2003, the Canadian beef processing industry contracted by more than 15 per cent and the XL Foods epi-sode will definitely not enhance the in-dustry’s quality image abroad. To add to the systemic pressures the Canadian beef industry is facing, input costs are also increasing, which makes its busi-ness case weaker almost by the day.
The global market landscape for beef has changed. What is worse, though, is that consumers themselves are in a different place as well. With this latest recall at XL Foods, the Ca-nadian beef industry is facing some major headwinds. In 2003, in the midst of the mad cow crisis, the Canadian consumer came to the rescue.
It is unclear whether Canadian con-sumers are willing to give the industry another chance, as more options and substitutes are offered to them. Only time will tell.

The Rimbey Aquatic Centre was a busy place this summer and the children’s slide and play area was especially active. File Photo
Aquatic centre busy last summer, revenues show increased usageBy Treena Mielke
The Town of Rimbey got its feet wet this summer with the opening of its new outdoor aquatic centre but while the municipality sometimes appeared to be sinking in the deep end, overall, the pool’s first season went swimmingly well.
Recreation director Rick Kreklewich said even though the pool ran at a $88,000 deficit, revenues were higher than expected.
“The old pool had a revenue of around $60,000, and we have so much more to offer the community with our new facility.”
Kreklewich presented a report to council regarding the aquatic centre at its Oct. 22 meeting.
The report stated head counts of people using the pool showed a significant increase from 2009.
He said during 85 operating days, 2,315 people used the pool compared to 2009, when there were 880
single admissions during 88 operating days.Adult admissions increased significantly from
2009 with 565 adults signing in to use the pool com-pared to 101 three years ago.
The pool saw 488 family admissions compared to 293 in 2009.
This year 75 individual seasons passes and 51 fam-ily passes were sold compared to 28 individual season passes and 28 family season passes in 2009.
The sale of individual and family punch cards more than tripled from three years ago.
Despite the added usuage, the pool was closed at least twice due to mechanical problems.
“We expected to run into a few unforeseen issues in our first season, but we never expected the issues to be as severe as they were,” said Kreklewich. “The first issue that we discovered was the pooling of water in the change areas and the slippery conditions it caused. The drains in the change areas of the building seemed inadequate, considering the level of water coming from both the showers and pool. As a cost-saving measure, the floors of the change areas were left as finished con-crete instead of tile. This created a slip hazard when the water pooled on the floor.”
Kreklewich said matting on the walkway beside the showers helped alleviate slipping and the floors are now being acid-etched and painted with epoxy paint.
The pool was closed for a few days this summer due to a leak in the main drain box caused by water pressure.
To ensure the leak doesn’t occur again concrete was added underneath the box, the box seam repaired and a layer of pool membrane added to provide ad-ditional support.
At the end of the season, another leak was discov-ered in the pool in the main drain line from the pool crawl space to the mechanical room. This leak is be-ing repaired as are superficial cracks in one of the hot tubs.
On July 13, in the middle of the pool’s busiest time, the boiler pump motor quit and the pool ran without heated water until July 20.
The pool operated regularly for the rest of the sum-mer until Aug. 27 when the chlorine levels were below required operating levels.
The pool re-opened on Aug. 31 and closed for the season Sept. 3.
Changes made to the spray park included placing matting at the end of the slides to cushion the land-ing. A second filter was also added to the mechanical vault.
Kreklewich said the area next to the tipping buck-ets needs to be landscaped to prevent water pooling there.
Despite mechanical issues, Kreklewich said the pool operated as closely as possible to the original schedule.
“We had the same schedule as in years past but in-cluded more aquafit times, a teen night and a free swim which was very well received sponsored by Value Drug Mart. The busiest times were the afternoon and evening public swims followed by the family swims.”
Despite a few ripples in its first season, Krekle-wich said pool staff maintained constant levels of pro-fessionalism and expertise.
“We received a lot of positive comments about the staff and how they were aware on deck and great swimming lessons instructors,” he said. “One of the ar-eas that we will try to improve upon is thorough train-ing of staff on the pool mechanical.”
He said it was difficult during busy times for staff to be both guarding and attending to patrons at the front desk. He suggested keeping staff at the front counter on busy days and adding a debit machine as a method of payment.
Kreklewich is optimistic the pool will run smooth-ly next year.
“In 2013, the pool should be fully operational,” he told council. “We will have our leak issues fixed prior to winter. We plan on purchasing some new equipment including lane ropes, clock, aquafit supplies, office sup-plies, lifeguard supplies and various pool toys with the money provided by the Lions. New tables and chairs will be purchased for the pool meeting room. This will enhance what we currently provide at the pool.”

Halloween safety tipsEvery year children anxiously count down the
days until they are able to put on their costumes and head out into the neighborhood in search of candy. Although Halloween is meant to be a fun occasion for the young and the old alike, it can also be unsafe.
To make Halloween a safe holiday, children and adults can heed these suggestions.• Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. Although kids might want to wear shoes that match the costume, shoes that fit well and are comfortable are a safer bet. This will help prevent tripping and falling over cumbersome shoes. • Go trick-or-treating in groups. Children should not be allowed to go out in search of candy alone. Going in a group means that someone can get help if need be. Also, there is safety in numbers. Preda-tors won’t view a child as an easy target if he or she is with fellow trick-or-treaters.• Be visible. Since daylight saving time begins shortly after Halloween, there are fewer hours of daylight for trick-or-treating. When Halloween falls on a weekday, children have to wait until af-ter school to venture out, and it can quickly be-come dark. Therefore, make sure that children are equipped with flashlights and put reflective tape on their costumes so they will be more visible to fellow pedestrians and motorists.• Stick to the sidewalks. Children should stay on sidewalks and cross the street only at established crosswalks.• Do not enter homes. Unless a child is with an adult and the home is owned by a trusted friend,
kids should not enter homes for treats.• Avoid candles and jack-o-lanterns. A cos-tume can easily catch on fire, so it is best to steer clear of candles, lumi-naries and lit pumpkins.
• Accessorize safely. Select flexible swords and knives if they are accompanying a cos-tume. Avoid rigid items that can cause injuries.• Examine all candy before eating. Before kids have their first bite, parents should in-spect candy wrappers to determine if there has been any tampering. Also, avoid homemade treats from homes un-less you know the peo-ple who prepared the items.

So how are you feeling today?If you’re feeling well, that’s great! But think
about the last time you felt really sick. That’s when Mom took you to see the doctor, who looked down your throat, checked your ears, and sent you home with some medicine.
But what if you didn’t have a doctor nearby? What would your family do? What would you do? In the new book Mimi’s Village by Katie Smith

Warranty coverage proposedAll Albertans who buy a new home will have war-
ranty coverage for their purchase under new legisla-tion proposed by the Alberta government.
Bill 5, the New Home Buyer Protection Act, in-troduced in the legislature recently, requires builders to provide home warranty coverage for all new homes built in the province starting in fall 2013.
“While most homes in Alberta are built to stand the test of time, if things do go wrong, homeowners will have stronger protection to get their homes repaired,” said Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths.
Under the proposed legislation, all new homes (detached homes and condominiums) would at mini-mum, include a warranty for:• one year labour and materials;• two years for defects in labour and materials related to delivery and distribution systems;• five years building envelope protection, with a re-quirement for the warranty provider to offer the con-sumer the option to purchase additional years of cov-erage; and,• 10 years coverage for major structural components.
It is expected that the new home warranty would cost about $1,700 to $2,000 for an average home or less than one per cent of the cost of the average house.
Milway and Eugenie Fernandes, a little girl thinks about that, and then she has a dream…
It’s a sad day in the village where Mimi Malaho lives. Last night a baby died and his mother is weep-ing with the village’s other women. Mimi is too young to sit with them so she quietly goes home. She wor-ries about her mother, and the baby Ma is ex-pecting. Her family has been lucky; nobody has gotten sick so far.
But then something horrible happens! Mi-mi’s little sister, Nak-kissi, drinks some dirty water. She was thirsty and though Mimi knew she shouldn’t do it, she
Terri
SchlichenmeyerThe Bookworm
gave Nakkissi a drink by the river.That night, Nakkissi felt awful. The little girl moaned. She couldn’t keep any-
thing in her tummy, so Ma and Pa wrapped her in a blanket and put her in their cart. The whole family started walking down the path to the next village, where there was a clinic. It took an hour.
The next morning, there were lots of people lined up at the clinic. Nurse Tela took care of ev-eryone, including Nakkissi and all the babies. As Mimi watched Nurse Tela weigh each baby, she learned that the next day was vaccination day. The Malahos decided to spend the night at the clinic so they could get vaccinated. They wanted to stay healthy.
When she got home, Mimi heard her father talking about malaria, which was making lots of the village’s children sick. Mimi knew that was true, and she was thinking about a wish she’d made the day before. She was thinking about it when she went to bed and that night, she had a
dream.Her dream led to an idea. Her idea led to a
project. Her project led to something very good for Mimi, her family and her whole village.
Even though your child is small, you can bet she’s listening. Surely, she knows that health care is a big issue these days. Mimi’s Village takes that knowledge to the next level.
Inspired by real events and real people, author Katie Smith Milway explains a grown-up issue in a kid-friendly way and children will definitely identify with a girl like Mimi. Smith gives kids more information about Zambia health care work-ers and health care in general, then she and illus-trator Eugenie Fernandes explain what readers can do to help make life better for other children around the world.
For five- to eight-year-olds who love making a difference, this is a story that leads the way. And for you, Mimi’s Village is a book you’ll feel good about letting your child read.

Social media consultant speaks about advertising on the webBy Treena Mielke
A social media consultant shared her knowl-edge of online marketing and networking at a Chamber of Commerce and ATB sponsored pre-sentation held recently at the Rimbey Drop In Centre.
Jennifer Belanger knows first-hand the impor-tance of the social media. A stay-at-home mom with a natural bent to creativity and out-of-the-box thinking has successfully set up her own business, Mompreneur & Social Media Rock Star.
During her presentation, “How to Advertise on the Web,” she provided information regarding on-line strategies and marketing information.
“Twitter is a valuable resource because it pro-vides an instant connection with your clients. The number one way to network online is to tweet,” she noted. “If you are looking to widen your mar-ket, Twitter is where you want to be. You can up-date Twitter all day long, unlike Facebook, which can only be updated once or twice a day.”
Belanger said LinkedIn is another valuable re-source.
“It is the number 1 way companies are hiring right now. It’s like a resume. Fill it out. It truly is a professional platform. It’s great for people who are working on their own and it adds credibility to your resume.”
To get the most out of social media, users need to schedule three 15-minute time slots to update

and maintain their platforms. “Basi-cally, by doing this you’re showing consistency and that you’re actively involved.”
Being consistently active on-line for three to six months should show a marketing return, Belanger said.
Facebook is valuable because it allows the user to create interactive pages which promotes interaction.
“You want to get your readers to be able to interact with you as much as possible, said Belanger. “Get their opinion and provide content they can easily share. The goal is to get your customers to start spreading word of mouth in a positive way about you on line. Honestly, every business should have a Facebook page,” she said.
She stressed that using your name is important regardless of what social media platform is used as it allows the client to know with whom they
are dealing and whether that person is male or female.
Do not connect Facebook to Twitter because people who go on Facebook do not understand the twit-ter lingo and it becomes frustrating for them, she added.
“The goal with Twitter is to net-work with new markets that might otherwise not be available.”
Having an online presence, no matter what platform is used, is cru-cial, said Belanger.
“If you want to get ahead in to-day’s competitive market place, you need to have an online presence.”
Belanger offers courses online and is also available for individual and group training sessions at vari-ous locations throughout central Al-berta.

Council is holding off on a decision to close a portion of an alley near the school although RCMP recommend barricading it may be the best way to stop speeding motorists who pay no attention to traffic laws.
At its regular meeting Oct. 23, council held a lengthy discussion about the alley behind Drader Crescent, finally agreeing to ask for public input be-fore making a decision.
Council has received several complaints about speeders in the alley and asked the RCMP for recom-mendations as to how to deal with the issue.
These recommendations, which were included in the council package, included closing off the alleyway entrance between 5323 and 5319 as it joins Drader Crescent or closing off the road between the school
and the water tower property.Installing speed bumps at the west end of 54 Av-
enue as it enters into the school bus barn property and near the entrance of the school where the bus lane joins 52 Street was suggested as another solution. However, if speed bumps were used, RCMP also recommend putting up fencing to close off the school’s parking area so motorists wouldn’t use that area as a detour.
In a memo to council, assistant CAO Melissa Beebe said the fire department and the owners of Cast-A-Waste were also contacted regarding closing the alley.
Beebe said the best option would be to close the alleyway entrance between 5323 and 5319 Drader Crescent and allow only pedestrian access.
“This would not impede the residents that cur-rently have access to the back lane,” she said.
However, Coun. Scott Ellis raised concerns about

All finalists become eligible for the evening’s top award, the Premier’s Award of Distinction.
Award nominations close Nov. 23.
Council asks for public input regarding closing alleyblocking off that portion of the alley.
“My concern is about public access and public space. What is the logic for blocking off public access space? That is an alley that everyone in town has paid for. I feel it is public access space and we have to be careful how we block I off. We need to have a framework on how we deal with this.”
“My concern is the school buses and kids coming from both sides,” add-ed Coun. Gayle Rondeel. “My point is it’s dangerous.”
Rondeel said traffic needs to be re-stricted, at least during certain times in the day, before someone gets hurt.
“It’s a safety issue,” said Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson. “It’s not just percep-tion; it’s true, speeding is an issue.”
Coun. Paul Payson said closing it
seemed a logical solution. “I can’t see any negatives other than a few people having to drive a little further.”
CAO Tony Goode said there have been several complaints from Kansas Ridge residents about speeding in the alley.
“That’s why we put the 30 K sign up, but nobody pays any attention to it.”
Council agreed speed bumps were not a viable solution as they would make grading difficult.
Council agreed to advertise the possible closure of the alley between 5323 and 5319 Drader Crescent for two weeks in the Rimbey Review and the public is asked to provide input before a decision is made.

Rimbey RCMP had another active week inves-tigating more than 45 files. Highlights of the week included suicidal people, uttering threats to kill, sex-ual assault, criminal harassment, impaired driving, drugs and other criminal matters.
Locked, loaded and ready to fireMounties solved more crime last week on the
heels of recent arrests. A 40-year-old resident of the Rimbey area seemed really surprised that you can-not drive around town with a loaded rifle in your vehicle. The man was stopped for a traffic offence and had the loaded weapon on the seat. The firearm had a bullet in the chamber ready to fire. The man was charged with firearms offences and the gun was seized.
Vehicles seizedFour citizens, most of whom are well known to
police, were charged for operating a motor vehi-cle without valid insurance. Fines totalled more than $12,000 and vehicles were seized in each case.
Can you smell that?A 44-year-old Rimbey man was charged with
production of marijuana after police attended his residence on an unrelated matter and noticed the “wacky tobbacky” plants growing in the house. The amateur horticulturist was charged with having the illegal plants and they were seized as evidence. He was also later charged with threatening to kill a neighbor. The accused will appear in Rimbey court Dec. 7.
More wire theftsMore copper wire thefts occurred in the Rimbey
area. The first was on the night of Oct. 18 near Town-ship Road 442 where a lease site was hit by midnight shoppers who stole grounding wire from the scene of the crime. The second occurred on Oct. 20 near Secondary Highway 761 where thieves stole copper wire. Police are actively investigating these crimes and are diligently pursuing all leads at this time.
Waay over the legal limitAnother impaired driver was arrested in the eve-
ning on Oct. 23. The drunk driver’s child was as a passenger in the vehicle when stopped by police. The man provided two samples of his breath that
Man with loaded rifle in vehicle arrestedeven blew away the investigators. Both samples were well over three times the legal limit. Thank-fully, the officer stopped the driver before a collision occurred.
M o u n t i e s rounding up traf-fickers
Your RCMP de-tachment is work-ing hard to keep illegal drugs out of the community and is currently pursuing all leads and tips relating to drug trafficking. Officers are currently seeking another individual suspected of dealing drugs in our town and expect to have them in custody by the time the week is over.

An annual study by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) on Canada’s top entrepreneurial cities shows five of the top 10 mu-
Alberta has top entrepreneurial cities nicipalities in the overall rankings are from Al-berta.
For the third year in a row, Grande Prairie received the best overall score of the 103 cities evaluated across the country, with Saskatoon and Regina rounding out the top three. The rankings of Alberta’s other cities in 2012 were: Lloyd-minster fifth, Red Deer sixth, Edmonton eighth, Lethbridge ninth, Calgary 13th, and Wood Buffalo (Fort McMurray) 14th. Medicine Hat was in 88th spot.
“Obviously, it’s great news to see Alberta’s cit-ies rank so well,” said Richard Truscott, Alberta director. “Many of our province’s urban centres continue to be entrepreneurial hot spots compared to other major municipalities across Canada.”
Communities in Boom evaluates the entrepre-neurial environment of 103 cities across Canada according to 14 indicators drawn from Statistics Canada sources and survey research conducted with CFIB’s membership.
The 14 indicators are grouped into three cate-gories: presence, perspective, and policy. Presence covers the scale and growth of business owner-ship, perspective measures optimism and growth plans, and policy represents the actions local gov-ernments take with respect to business taxation and regulation.
“A stronger focus on creating small-business friendly policies would certainly help improve the rankings for Alberta’s cities even further. Sadly, entrepreneurs in many of our cities continue to succeed in spite of politicians and policy-makers, not because of them. That needs to change,” con-cluded Truscott.

A Rimbey couple wants council to pick up the tab for a sizable chunk of change they were forced to dole out to modify a tombstone to meet conditions set out in the town’s cemetery bylaw.
Russ and Alice Picketts purchased joint plots at West Haven Cemetery in 1999 but were not told about the head-stone restrictions.
“At this time we purchased two plots and there was no mention of any restriction of any kind,” Alice Picketts told council when she and husband Russ appeared before them Oct. 22.
The Pickets recently purchased a monument to be placed at the plots they had purchased but were distressed to learn the monument did not meet the required restrictions set out in the cem-etery bylaw.
The couple had al-ready paid almost $5,000 for the monument but paid more than $1,500 to have it modified to meet bylaw requirements.
However, when the company from whom they purchased the monument went to the cemetery to put it up, they discovered another monument already in the cemetery much larger than their own.
The Picketts were as-sured by town staff this was an oversight and the other monument would be modified as well. However, this was sev-eral months ago and no action was taken.
“We realize that it would be hard to ap-proach the family of the loved ones that they had to uproot their stone,” said Picketts, “but we felt we needed to bring this to the attention of the town council as this could affect many people in the future if changes are not being made in the way that these plots are being sold.”
The Picketts told council they believed they should be reim-bursed for the $1,628 it cost them to modify their headstone.
“The only fair thing now is that the town be responsible for the up-grade. We should be reimbursed for what it has cost us, not only in heartache but money. We will leave it with you guys. It’s is not the right
thing.”CAO Tony Goode, who recom-
mended council deny the request for reimbursement, said the bylaw states all monuments shall be placed on the foundation provided by the town. All monuments shall be confined within the boundaries of the respective lots and all monuments shall not exceed 40.5 centimetres above the foundation, or not be within five centimetres of the edge of the foundation provided by the town. Goode said the company who in-stalled the headstone that doesn’t meet the requirements of this bylaw has been notified and modifications were to be completed by Oct. 26.
He said the company the Picketts purchased the monument from should have looked at the bylaw prior to con-struction.

“We believe Legacy Monuments should have con-tacted the Town of Rimbey before the construction of the monument, at which time they would have been advised of the monument restrictions. Our current
practice is to provide a copy of the cemetery bylaw to persons purchasing a cemetery plot.”
Council agreed to take the issue to the cemetery board before making a decision.

The leaves are falling, the crops are in and that means harvest dishes and baked goods cooking in the oven.
Crestomere School recently had its Potato Pump-kin Harvest Fair that brought in community members with harvest dishes of their own, to sample potato dishes made by each of the classes.
The potatoes where planted in May and harvested by the students late September. “Junior high was paired with little kids. We just took an afternoon and dug them,” said event organizer Kathy Bogath.
The harvest yielded six five-gallon pails of pota-
toes, which where distributed among the classes. As a class they had to decide what kind of dish they wanted to make.
“It’s just like a big potluck,” said Bogath. “And then they each had an area, what harvest is like to them.
The grades 1 and 2 class decorated around their table with a Field of Dreams theme. It symbolizes their growing journey with knowledge and growing in the garden, said Bogath. “It’s a good metaphor.”
The fair also featured a slideshow of the students digging the potatoes and a photo booth complete with harvest themed costumes.

Siblings who live near Bluffton are convinced sound therapy, special water and stress shield devices have boosted their happiness quota and helped them release stress quickly and easily.
Carolyn Karlstrom and her sister, Barb, own-ers of Empowering Bal-ance Sound Energy, are sound energy coaches who believe everything and everyone has a fre-quency.
“Our voice is more unique that our fingerprint and DNA,” said Carolyn Karlstrom. “It holds all the frequencies of every-thing that has happened to us, physically, mentally and emotionally.”
She said the sound of someone’s voice will in-dicate whether that person is angry, sick, excited, sad or happy. To balance out the negative emotions, the sisters have a special com-puter program that creates a balancing frequency.
Using a microphone, the sisters record some-one making the sounds of ba, be, bi, bo, bu and ha, he, hi, ho, hu. The sounds are recorded into a com-puter program where they are analyzed.
“The computer (pro-gram) analyzes them and figures out each in-dividual’s stresses and the frequency of these stresses. Then it makes a CD with sounds of the opposite frequency. When you listen to the CD your body absorbs the frequen-cies of the sounds cancel-ling out the frequency of the stresses in your body, neutralizing and releasing your stress.”
Karlstrom said the CDs reduce mind chat-ter, sleep is improved and stress is released.
“The best thing is that each CD is personalized to each person’s individu-al needs,” she said.
The Karlstroms have also installed IQubes in

They cleanse the environment of negative energy creating a space that is calming and relaxing,” said Karlstrom.

INNIS
James Hilliard “Hill” Innis of Rimbey, Alberta passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre ~ Area Two, Rimbey on Friday, October 19, 2012 at the age of 79 years.
Hill was born in Kinistino, Saskatchewan on March 24, 1933. His family moved to Salmon Arm, B.C. in 1951, but as a young man, Hill wished to move to Edmonton where he found employment in building construction until 1952. In 1953, he went to work in the coal mines in Yellowknife, N.W.T., where he remained for a few years. Hill then returned to Alberta in 1956, where he was employed with Calgary Power, later
known as TransAlta Utilities. He was united in marriage to Pat in 1957, and they resided in several different east Central Alberta communities before moving to Rimbey in 1982. Hill retired in 1991, and together with Pat they farmed north of Rimbey until 2005. They later relocated into town where they have resided until his passing.
Hill will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his beloved wife, Pat; his two sons, Brent (Diana) Innis of Westlock; and Dan (Judy) Innis of Calgary; three cherished grandchildren, Sara, Michael, and Tanner; in addition to family friend, Linda Innis of Drayton Valley. He will also be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his two brothers, Bliss (Marie) Innis of Vernon, B.C.; and Bob (Mim) Innis of Kamloops, B.C.; his sister, Arlene (Dick) Wood also of Kamloops B.C.; as well as several nieces and nephews. Hill was predeceased by his parents, Susan and Alex Innis; two sisters, Pat Gansert and Karen Irwin; his stepbrother, Brian Whiting; and his brother-in-law, Ed Gansert.
A Public Memorial Service in Celebration of Hill’s Life was held at the Rimbey United Church, Rimbey on Friday, October 26, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. with the Reverend David Holmes officiating. Cremation took place at the Central Alberta Crematorium, Red Deer. Interment will be held at a later date in the columbarium at the West Haven Cemetery, Rimbey. If friends desire, memorial tributes in Hill’s Memory may be made directly to the charity of one’s choice. Condolences to the Family may also be expressed by e-mail to: [email protected]
