The Rimbey Review, October 9, 2012 3

Rimbey opposes move to new federal riding

By Amelia Naismith Rimbey, along with many other rural communities, is concerned with the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission’s proposed redrawing of riding boundaries.

If the proposed boundaries are made final, Rimbey will be taken out of the Wetaskiwin riding and put in Yellowhead.

Every 10 years, after a census, electoral ridings are subject to change to accommodate population growth and shifts.

Between 2001 and 2011 Alberta’s population grew from 2,974,807 to 3,645,257. Alberta is gaining six more seats in the House of Commons, taking it from 28 to 34 seats.

In Alberta the electoral quota for each riding is 107,213. The Wetaskiwin riding population, as of 2011, was 113,780.

The population of the proposed Yellowhead riding is 107,741. The commission is able to deviate from this quota by 25 per cent.

Every presentation Rimbey Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson saw at a recent public hearing held by the commission was against the new boundaries. “They (the commission) recognize that. Whether they do anything about it, I don’t know.”

Ibbotson’s concerns stem from trade and economic flow, as do many others. “The flow is east to west. It doesn’t make sense for us to be in a north-south riding.”

“We’d get lost in that riding. The only way we wouldn’t is if the MP was from around here,” he said.

Joe Anglin, MLA for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre, also believes Rimbey could lose its voice if they were placed in a riding as vast and diverse as Yellowhead.

“They don’t want to just know their MP, they want a connection,” said Anglin.

Like Ibbotson, Anglin said ridings that run more laterally across the province would suit Rimbey’s socio-economic needs better. He wants Rimbey to be in a central Alberta riding with similar communities.

A Ponoka Councillor also wants his town to remain a part of the Wetaskiwin riding. “We’re going to get lost if we go there (Red Deer),” said Coun. Shayne Steffen, who attended the hearing in place of Mayor Larry Henkelman.

Steffen said that with the new boundaries the needs and representation Ponoka could be affected when an MP has to represent both rural and urban communities in Ottawa.

“For several years the town has partnered with Ponoka County and the Town of Rimbey,” said Steffen, who expressed concern these partnerships would also suffer.

The new boundaries propose that Rimbey be a part of the Yellowhead riding. “We’re also concerned with the proposed split of Ponoka County,” said Steffen. Having the county represented by two MPs is not favoured.

Lacombe County Coun. Ken Wigmore also expressed that Lacombe doesn’t wish to be in a riding with Red Deer.

“We believe that the City of Red Deer would be better as a riding unto itself.”

Wigmore presented

the commission with several other courses of action. He believed it would be best if Lacombe County, Ponoka County and Wetaskiwin County formed their own riding.

The second option presented to the commission included more land area. “We would propose to be in the electoral riding of Lacombe County, Ponoka County, Clearwater County and the Town of Sylvan Lake.”

Wigmore said another acceptable option would be to become part of a riding that stretched from Hobbema to Carstairs, but circle around Red Deer, leaving it as its own riding. This was an option already considered by the commission.

Roy Louis attended the hearing and represented the four Hobbema Nations, and brought treaty boundary documents for the commission to take into consideration.

Louis was concerned the Four Nations could be split and that Pigeon Lake could also be in a different riding. “It has been an issue for us. We’d like to remain intact as a federal riding.”

The new boundaries put Hobbema in the Red DeerWolf Creek riding with Ponoka, which isn’t wanted.

Louis said they wanted to stay in the Wetaskiwin riding.

According to commission member Donna Wilson, representatives from the Wetaskiwin riding also want Hobbema to remain in their riding.

Mayor Morris Flewwelling of Red Deer also had concerns about the new boundaries. “We feel that our needs are unique.”

Flewwelling pointed out to the committee al of Red Deer’s previous MPs lived in rural areas. However, he is pleased Red Deer is “harmonized” with Lacombe

County.

“These rural-urban partnerships can work,” Flewwelling said. “Our preference is definitely for the urban focus.”

The last public hearing in Alberta took place Sept. 25 in Calgary. Now the commission will submit a report of the proposed electoral map to the House of Commons.

A committee will study the map in light of comments received from members of Parliament.

Their deliberation results and objec-

tions are sent back to the commission, who decide if they want to make any changes to the report. Then a final report is submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada.

The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada prepares the representation order, which allows the new electoral map to be implemented.

The new map will be used in the first general election, called at least seven months after the representation order becomes official.

Welcome from the 2012-13 president and executive of the Rimbey Curling Club.

Thanks to our past President Marj Tisdale and Board for their great efforts to keep the club afloat in the past lean years. We would also like to thank our Business Sponsors for their annual advertising in the curling rink and support with our five annual bonspiels which attract outside curlers and friends to our town and club.

Rimbey and district is an attractive area with a lot of services to offer. We are proud to be one of the many clubs that hold events here and help bring other area residents to show them what Rimbey is all about. It’s the people of Rimbey that make it a great place by supporting all the clubs and local businesses. If we don’t support it - we won’t have it.

We are pleased to have the local and area schools utilizing our rink as part of their school activities.

From this our club has had an increase this year to eighteen pre-registered junior curlers. Thanks to Lisa Tisdale and Teri Boyce for their dedication in this program. These ladies would appreciate some assistance with guiding our future club or world champions through the practice program they do on Thursday evenings from 5 til 6 pm.

Also new this year is our free drop in to try curling. If you’ve always wondered what it is like or if you would like to practice or learn to stick curl we are offering open ice time on Thursday’s in Nov. and Dec. from 5 til 7 pm.

Curling is for all ages. Yes we have 7 year olds to 80 and 90 year young members in our club.

This year we are introducing the new two person stick league to our club. Thanks Marj Tisdale for organizing this.

Our club has a large spectator area with a big screen TV. You can keep up on sporting events as you socialize while watching curling or have a beverage from our lounge and watch our local hockey clubs from the adjoining viewing room.

As a fundraiser to help offset some of our $80,000.00 operating budget we will be holding a raffle. First prize is a $2,500.00 gift card from Rimbey Co-op, good for any of the products they sell. Second prize is a $200.00 gift card from Ray’s Esso. Third, fourth and fifth prizes are $100.00 gift cards from Ray’s Esso. Thanks to these businesses for supporting our club. A limited number of tickets have been printed and are available from The Stationary Store, Ray’s Esso, the curling club or it’s members.

Yes, we have two new heaters to supplement our two old heaters, and our back overhead door has been fitted with removable insulated panels to keep the wind and snow out. All this being done, we should be able to curl in comfort and have more control of our ice conditions. Thanks to Kevin Waldren for returning to our club as ice-tech. You do great work and with our improved arena hopefully it will make things easier for you. So curlers, treat Kevin kindly as he’s the one who can change ice conditions with different pebble or settings.

We are hoping to have some monthly social events such as music jams and dancing, beer and bean night, darts or cards, turkey shoot in Dec. Our spectator area is also available for booking by other groups.

Come check us out and have fun with your neighbours and friends.

Rimbey Curling Club Herman Wegmann, President

Asked to name “the most exciting cultural happening of the year” in the province, most Albertans would be hard pressed to mention something called Alberta Cultural Days. Yet, that is exactly how the government of Alberta bills it.

The Alberta Cultural Days “adventure,” “spearheaded (a rather war-like term) by the Government of Alberta, amounts to a provincewide state-sponsored festival of festivals.

Its official website calls it “a threeday celebration of Alberta’s unique blend of peoples and passions and the importance of arts and culture to building healthy and vibrant communities.” The three-day event ended Sept. 30.

Culture Days, however, is simply an example of how out of its element government is when it comes to culture.

While it is true that arts and culture are linked to vibrant communities, the implied claim that healthy communities are derived from state sponsored cultural events is less true.

In fact, social research points in the

Marco Navarro-Genie Guest Columnist

opposite direction.

That research shows that the strongest communities are those in which civil society is strong, and civil society is strongest in communities in which the community autonomously develop and promotes what is best for itself. Conversely, community is weakest in places where governments run their citizens’ lives, leaving little room for autonomy. It is no coincidence that Russia had such weak civic culture after coming out of seven decades of Communist rule.

So for the Alberta Government to say that “culture is part of what makes Alberta such a great place to live, work and raise a family” is flippantly akin to saying that air is what makes Albertans such great people. If there is community, there is culture.

The government is implying that Albertans enjoy great communities because they have culture. But it

is the opposite that is true: we have great cultural expressions because we have strong individuals, families and communities.

The government is also suggesting that, as promoter and funder of Culture days, it is the cause of such great culture and community. In other words, that Albertans “owe” it for such great things.

Culture Days, now in its fifth year thanks to former Premier Ed Stelmach, is an example of the government’s attempt to insert itself in civil society in order to both gain favour with the artistic community and to appear “fostering (of) unity, (with) a sense of belonging and caring for our fellow citizens.”

The worst part is that its generosity is achieved with other people’s money, which amounts to fake generosity.

Finally, such events, an appeal to a “unique blend of peoples and passions,” are an attempt to inject multiculturalism by stealth at a time when such policies are being questioned all across the world and across the country. Surprisingly, the brunt of the criticism against such events is being launched by ethnic communities and individuals, no longer interested in being condescended to by politicians.

Real culture is independent of the

state, unless it is state culture (which often means bureaucracy, red tape, corruption and overspending, entitlements to expense accounts, junkets to London, England, and so forth), which most folks despise.

State sponsorship has not often resulted in great works of art. It is true that Elizabeth I was a patron of the arts, as were several Renaissance rulers. But none of them funded everybody and everything. They exercised choices that we would certainly not entrust to politicians or government employees today. One can see the difference between Russian novels and Soviet writings, or between Marc Chagall’s works and Soviet painters.

Alberta’s premier will not commission the next great sculpture, largely because she does not make such decisions. Modern state-sponsoring makes impersonal choices and does so in nearly an egalitarian fashion, making the promotion of all the promotion of none.

Albertans would be better off without the intrusion of the state into their civil affairs. Autonomy begets stronger communities and better culture.

COMMUNITY

Community gathers to remember missing native women

New math builds brains

By Amelia Naismith Alberta schools are implementing a new math curriculum.

The new curriculum started being introduced in 2008. “This will be the last year of the new curriculum being phased in,” said Wolf Creek Public Schools assistant superintendent Gerry Varty.

This will also be the first year students will graduate after learning the new curriculum. Varty has heard complaints students in post-secondary institutions are facing more academic troubles because of the new curriculum.

Alberta has split grades into divisions for the curriculum. Divisions 1 and 2, grades kindergarten to 3, will focus more on numeracy than the current curriculum does.

Division 3, junior high, was found to cover too much content. “What happened then is it got too hard in Grade 10,” Varty explained at Bentley School’s open house Oct. 4.

Varty said the current division 4, high school, applied math isn’t widely accepted by many postsecondary institutions. The new curriculum splits the streams of math in Grade 10 to a common math and a math tailored for trade and schools and apprenticeships.

In Grade 11 the streams will spit again to the common math and a higher level of math. The cur-

riculum will also offer a low stream of basic math for those who struggle to still achieve the math credits school requires.

“Math is built over the years. If you have holes in your learning you’re in trouble,” said Varty.

He said a lot of kids are able to get through math on memorization but only memorizing doesn’t give students to tools to build and apply the concepts to problems. The new curriculum is focused more on having students understand the math.

Varty wants the curriculum to develop a fluency in students so that problem solving becomes an automatic habit rather than facts students need to memorize. “We’re looking at what’s inside the kids’ heads. We’re trying to get the kids to think.

It’s not about memorizing stuff.”

During a school year a student has only about two weeks time worth of math classes, not a lot of time to build and understand a foundation for the next grade.

Students who were first introduced to the new curriculum seem to be doing well, he said, but it’s taking a few years to get a new grading system in place.

“Seize the hidden agenda. Nobody learns math to learn math,” said Varty. “People learn math to solve problems and put things in a different and they make a lot of money doing it. That’s the hidden agenda.”

Keep your cool when the smoke alarm sounds Have two ways out Imagine waking up to hear your smoke alarm beeping. You are groggy, confused and scared. This is a time when many people panic and end up making serious — sometimes fatal — mistakes.

In fact, according to research from the Office of the Fire Commissioner, how a person reacts in a fire can be the difference between life and death. Approximately 20 per cent of people who died in a home fire in a 10-year period in Alberta did not act when the smoke alarm activated.

Make sure that everyone in your home knows exactly what to do when the alarm sounds or there is smoke or fire. A good escape plan that your family has practiced will help all to deal with a scary situation in a calm and safe manner.

• Get out quickly if there is a fire because fire moves extremely fast. You may have only three minutes or less before

the toxic smoke overtakes you (visit: www.3minutedrill.alberta.ca) • Teach children to never hide in closets or under beds.

• Choose two ways out of every room. If heat or smoke blocks the usual fire exit (door), then use the second way out (another door or a window).

• Test doors before opening them: - feel the door and look for smoke coming in around the edges.

- if the door is not hot and there is no smoke coming in, open it slowly, but be prepared to slam it shut if heat or smoke rush in.

- if the door is hot, use your other exit.

• If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to the nearest exit. Smoke will rise to the ceiling, leaving cooler, cleaner air close to the floor.

• Parents should take into account the limitations of young children, the elderly or disabled when planning a fire escape.

• If you live in an apartment building and the smoke alarm goes off, only use the stairs. Never use an elevator.

• Choose a family meeting spot, a safe distance away from the home. It can be as simple as meeting under a neighbour’s tree.

• Practice, practice, practice. If your family has rehearsed various emergencies regularly, you will all know exactly what to do if the real thing occurs.

When you are making your escape plan, do not assume young children will be awakened by a smoke alarm. According to recent research, children younger than nine years old experience the deepest sleep of all groups studied. If you have young children at home, it is best to practice your home fire escape drill during sleeping hours. It is an adult’s responsibility to awaken young children during a fire emergency and get them out safely.

Modern houses kill faster Three decades of research has shown that modern homes burn faster, fires in them are deadlier than ever before and fire departments can’t help fast enough.

Newer homes and furnishings are made with more synthetic materials that make fires ignite and burn faster. They also release more toxic gases when burned. Most fire victims die from smoke or

toxic gases and not from actual burns. In Alberta in 2010, 68 per cent of fire deaths were caused by smoke inhalation. Deadly conditions occur more quickly now than in the 1970s when natural materials were used more in homes and furnishings.

More than 30 years ago, an important study in the United States conducted tests in actual, average-sized homes with typical furniture and smoke alarms. That report concluded smoke alarms generally provided the necessary escape time for different fire types and locations. This re(est. 1916) search led to the popular use of smoke alarms in residential settings.

A similar but more advanced and comprehensive study in 2005 found a troubling difference with the previous investigation. The time available to escape to safety was consistently shorter and the fire growth rates faster.

House fires Continued from page 8 It is thought that synthetic materials found in modern homes contributed to this change.

The study concluded that because fires are more aggressive, the time needed to escape has been reduced from approximately 17 minutes 30 years ago, to as little as three minutes in a modern home.

This gives less time for occupants to escape a fire that begs the question, “Will the fire department arrive in time?”

Unfortunately, the answer is often “no.”

Even in a modern city like Edmonton or Calgary, it may take seven minutes or more for the fire department to respond to a fire when the call is received. In rural areas served by volunteer fire departments, the response times are expected to be longer.

Anyone facing a fire emergency must take quick action to save their lives. You’ve got only three minutes or less.

Make trick-or-treating safe for your little monsters In the midst of the excitement of Halloween, fire safety may be the last thing on the minds of little boys and ghouls. But there are simple things parents can do to make the holiday safe for their little monsters and neighbours.

When choosing a costume, the Office of the Fire Commissioner recommends avoiding billowing or long trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame.

If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eyeholes are large enough so they can see out. Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.

Alberta Fire Commissioner Trent West, says it is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candles in a jack-o-lantern. “If you use a real candle, use extreme caution,” he warns. “Be sure to put lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and out

of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.”

Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.

Remind children to stay away from open flames.

Be sure they know to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with their hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.

Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torchlights when decorating walkways and yards.

They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.

Rimbey Fire Chief John Weisgerber says extra staffing at Halloween isn’t something the department provides in case of trouble because there doesn’t seem to be a need. “Everybody’s pretty careful.”

New truck for firefighters

By Amelia Naismith Rimbey has an addition to its firefighting fleet.

The newest fire truck has replaced a 1986 truck, said Chief John Weisgerber.

The truck cost approximately $310,000 and has been in the works for the department over a little over a year.

“It’s a nice addition to the department,” said Weisgerber. “It’s got a couple of new things on the unit,” including LED lighting.

The department is pleased with the way it functions, but will be taking some time to train on the unit. It’ll take some time to figure out what all the buttons do and where they are, said Weisgerber.

The truck was built by Rocky Mountain Phoenix in Red Deer.

For safety, XL meat removed

By Amelia Naismith XL Foods’ beef product recall has caused a stampede away from meat counters across the country.

Sheldon Ibbotson, owner of Rimbey Foods, said it wasn’t that bad in Rimbey but he took precautions to protect buyers’ safety. “Our wholesaler said pull every XL product down to be safe.”

Last week Ibbotson didn’t receive the meat he was supposed to due to the E. coli contamination.

“What I see know is a beef shortage,” said Ibbotson.

XL supplies beef to one-third of the western Canadian market. Centralizing production into a small group of suppliers is a risk that can cause shortages, said Ibbotson.

However, he says the situation seems to be improving already for him. “Today (Oct. 4) we’re supposed to have everything we order.”

County upgrades its fencing standards to five-wire

By Amelia Naismith Ponoka County council has increased fencing standards from four to five-wire fencing.

The increase will come at no cost to farmers and landowners. However, if they also want a steel gate installed it will cost $200.

Council was already fixing current five-wire fences with the same standards but are now getting requests for upgrades from landowners with four-wire fencing.

“It carries a lot of favour,” said CAO Charlie Cutforth. Cutforth said the county is luck and has good relationships with landowners.

“It (five-wire fencing) also keeps those little calves off the road,” said Coun. Paul McLauchlin.

However, if landowners want to remain with fourwire fencing they can.

Scare cannon request Council has put Shayne Steffen, manager of ag services, in charge of contacting the Alberta Conservation Association to request bird scare cannons for county

farmers.

At its Sept. 25 meeting council was hesitant to become involved with the scare cannons.

They don’t want to purchase the cannons and instead wants Alberta Conservation to offer them for free.

Council also doesn’t want the cannons to become a big responsibility for them.

Cutforth said the farmers already handle their own pest control and weeds, why should the birds be any different.

However, Coun. George Verheire thought the crops and farmers need protecting. “I’m 50/50 on this one. I think we should take them on this one.”

The Alberta Conservation Association hasn’t contacted Ponoka County about the scare

We would like to Thank everyone for their compassion, love, support and prayers. There are no words to describe the feeling of loss, but we will recover with the help from the amazing people of Rimbey.

Rimbey’s town office is one step closer to relocating to the provincial building.

During the recent Alberta Urban Municipalities Association convention Rimbey Mayor Sheldon Ibbotson meet with Wayne Drysdale, minister of infrastructure, to further discuss moving the town office to Rimbey’s provincial building.

Town council first considered relocating in August when the library requested more space, due to overcrowding.

“It was a step forward,” said Ibbotson. “It was very hopeful.”

Ibbotson said the relocation would go ahead if the numbers fall into place. The town

doesn’t have to funds to purchase the space.

“If we can afford to lease it we certainly will.”

However, the plan is still in development and Ibbotson is waiting to hear back from Drysdale. “He did not say it was a done deal.”

Grant money transfer Ibbotson also met with Doug Griffiths, minister of municipal affairs, to talk about Rimbey’s leaky northern lagoon.

With Griffith’s approval Ibbotson and town council can transfer $92,000 in leftover grant money to help fund the lagoon’s repairs and other drainage issues.

The grant was originally to aid a drain-

age project from the hospital to the river; the lagoon project is similar so the money can be transferred.

“It was $92,000 sitting in the books that we couldn’t use,” said Ibbotson.

Rimoka update Rimbey’s new Rimoka seniors’ housing plan is in the review stage.

“He (Griffiths) said it’s an innovative project and it looks good,” said Ibbotson.

If there are any issues in the review they’ll be technical ones, said Ibbotson.

The town is supportive of the project and putting up funds for the infrastructure, but “it’s not a guarantee,” said Ibbotson.

Upon stopping the vehicle the driver was found to be impaired. He later provided breaths samples of twice the legal limit.

and council is sitting in a healthy place regarding their budget.

“Overall we’re in very good shape,” said Cutforth.

Cutforth’s only concern is drilling permits. “ That one is sort of like chasing smoke.”

The council budgeted $600,000 for the permits and has received $300,063.

The county has received all their provincial grants, with exception of the STEP grant. This puts the County close to their budget amount in total municipal revenues.

As of Aug. 31 council hasn’t surpassed budget in any area. However, it was acknowledged by council that September was a construction-heavy month and expenditures in that area ongoing.

Music reviews

By Amelia Naismith Al Lukas’ third solo album, appropriately named In My Soul, is strong, moody album built to stir both the mind and soul.

It’s rock and bluesy, and at times a throwback to old-school lounge music made contemporary with darker more evocative themes and arrangements Lukas’ gritty soulful voice packs an understated punch that cuts right to the bone.

Each song explores the course of an emotion and situation, not just with Lukas’ heart but also with cause-and-effect logic, while still creating music that’s exciting to listen to—a rare feat.

Many of the songs on the album are written by Lukas and he doesn’t just have a future as a singer and guitar player but as a songwriter as well.

Lukas’ album’s sound deals with the reality of life, not just the good parts.

And unlike many other artists today he doesn’t turn struggles into something self-pitying or preachy. In his songs struggles are met head-on without illusions.

This is where judging a book, or in this case a CD, results in the unexpected. Some of Lukas’ songs closer to the end of the album reveal a vulnerable side that comes as a surprise, based on the first few songs.

The Rimbey Review, October 9, 2012 15 Dragon’s a champion: Hallmark Hidden Dragon, a Sec. A Welsh Pony won the Section A Championship and went on to successfully compete against all the other Sections (B, C, D) to be named Supreme Champion at the recent Wild Rose Welsh and Open Pony Show. Dragon is a two-year-old gelding and his competition was mainly fillies and colts, so that makes the win even more exciting.

Owners Bruce and Linda Christensen believe he is the first gelding to ever win the Supreme title.

Dragon was prepped by Linda Henry and shown in the ring by Floyd Mullaney. Dragon has been sold to begin his career as a children’s riding pony and hopefully compete under saddle.

Red Deer College releases strategic plan Red Deer College has officially released its new five-year Strategic Plan.

Entitled A Learner-Centred Future, the plan was first presented to faculty and staff by RDC president and CEO Joel Ward.

“We listened very closely to our community both within RDC and throughout central Alberta and have responded to the passionate and insightful input from so many who care about the future of the college,” says Ward. “The RDC of 2017 will continue to serve our learners by offering expanded programming including more degrees. Leadership, excellence and innovation will be the hallmarks of how we operate in delivering relevant programs leading to careers, and personal growth for our learners.”

The five-year plan was developed through a unique collaborative process that brought together key stakeholders across all College departments and divisions to give input, reflecting the diversity and viewpoints of RDC. Then, starting last December, 20 groups were formed from RDC staff and faculty who sought input from more than 800 central Albertans about what the strategic direction of RDC should be over the next five years.

“We clearly heard from the community that the Red Deer College of 2017 should be known for engaging students in applied, innovative and real

world learning,” says Dr. Gerry Paradis, associate vice-president of strategic planning and research at RDC, who helped with the overall process of developing the plan. “We’re so grateful for the community’s input and role in setting our vision for the next five years at RDC.” The RDC of 2017 will be a comprehensive post-secondary institution in central Alberta with an academic reputation that positions the college as one of the top post-secondary institutions in the province offering certificates, diplomas, advanced skills training and degrees.

At the centre of all that RDC does is the learner and by focusing even more on our students through this new strategic plan, RDC is emphasizing a commitment to its graduates who, as full partners in their education, will be autonomous, competent and recognized for their capacity to apply their learning to make a difference in the communities where they live and work.

“RDC will no longer be Alberta’s best kept secret,” notes Ward. “We have always strived to deliver the best education possible and this plan ensures that we remain on that course and will be the post-secondary institution of choice for learners.”

Continued from page 14 It may look dark and depressing but it’s worth a listen.

Play, play and replay for best results Impressions, from Canadian singer/songwriter Connie Saulnier is an ordinary album with so much potential Saulnier’s voice is skilled but in at times it changes in tone are very subtle and the song gets monotonous. One In A Million is a song about love and loyalty that easily slips through the cracks if you aren’t paying attention to the idea.

Having personal songs that go into detail about what only the singer can experience can be an advantageous for an album because it reveals intimate details about the artist, but having too many isolates the listeners because the songs are no longer universal.

This album sits on a delicate edge and Saulnier may have added on too many personal songs, especially since the songs themselves are in a gray area between greatness with her voice and the arrangements and apparent laziness in some of the songs.

Saulnier has created a fair album, but it’s difficult to love. But if given enough chances the music grows on you.

By June Norvila After a lapse of a few years, the Girl Guide movement in Bentley is being revived.

Mary Biglands has made the commitment to restart Sparks, Brownies, and Guides in Bentley and wants to let people know all girls are invited to join. Prospective members can drop in at any of the meetings to check out the program and registration is accepted anytime.

The group is small right now but there are girls reg-

istered in each section. The group is expected to grow as the word gets around.

Meetings are held in the basement of the Bentley Community Church. Having meetings in there will give them access to the full gymnasium when needed. Leaders have already received their training.

Sparks, for the five- and six-yearolds, will meet most Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The contact for Sparks is Guider Kelly Biglands at (403) 7483643.

Brownies, for the seven- and eightyear-olds, will meet most Thursdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Contact Guider for Brownies is Mary Biglands at (403) 7483643.

Guides will run most Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. and is for the nine- to 11-year-old crowd. Edna Woltjer

at (403)396-5104 is the contact Guider for Guides.

Soon the Bentley group will be offering for sale the famous chocolatey Girl Guide mint cookies. Their supply is limited as they missed the deadline to order due to the group’s late start up.

Guiding also has new updated uniforms so watch for that too. All sections will now have T-shirts of blue to show continuity in the movement. The color of the trim will indicate the section - pink for Sparks, brown for Brownies, and blue for Guides.

Biglands, who was active in the movement before, was surprised when she learned Guiding was no longer offered in Bentley and she will do everything she can to get it going again and keep the movement alive.

Don’t delay — read The Art of Procrastination The Art of Procrastination

by John Perry c.2012, Workman Publishing $12.95/$14.95 Canada 112 pages The big project you’ve got on your desk is due on Thursday.

Terri And so far today, Schlichenmeyer you’ve managed to get a lot The Bookworm done. You’ve cleaned your middle drawer, checked emails, faxed an order you should’ve sent to the vendor last week, organized lunch for Thursday’s meeting, and found that management book your co-worker wanted to read.

Yes, you’ve accomplished a lot today. Just not on the big project.

But go back and think: you got a lot done, so carpe tomorrow. In the new book The Art of Procrastination by John Perry, you’ll see how footdragging may be a step in the right direction.

Humans are supposedly rational beings, known for higher-thinking brains. We can, therefore, prognosticate enough to recognize that unpleasant or necessary tasks will eventually need doing — so why do we put them off until the last minute?

It’s because we tend to act against our better judgments, which Plato and Aristotle called akrasia.

When akrasia consists of dawdling, Perry (who is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Stanford) likes to refer to it as structured procrastination, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Here’s why: like most people, you probably have a daily to-do list. On it, there are a small number of things you need to complete, and one of them is very important. With little to no effort, you can generally finish the lesser tasks each day and you feel good crossing them off the list. That, Perry

says, is how secret procrastinators get a reputation for getting lots of things done.

But remember, the important task is still on the list.

Eventually, says Perry, and probably before your deadline, the once-onerous task will become do-able when something less appealing bumps it from the top spot on your list. Or you’re in a better mood to do it. Or you finally figure out a plan. Thus, structured procrastination turns your negative trait into a positive.

“The trick,” he says, “is to pick the right sorts of projects for the top of the list.”

And if that doesn’t give you the psychological boost you need, try doing the task in small bites.

Play “perky” music to get you going. Find a collaborator who takes responsibility for your time-frame, or just go ahead and embrace your procrastination.

You might be surprised at what you can accomplish.

At just 112 pages, The Art of Procrastination seems more like a pamphlet than a book; indeed, author John Perry says this mini-volume sprang from a previously-published essay. That makes it quick to read — but there’s a lot to learn.

Perry makes readers laugh at themselves with real information presented in a lighthearted, decidedly un-scholarly manner. Yes, this is a fun book but it’s not frivolous: Perry eventually admits that procrastination is really not a good trait but that it can be handled with the right attitude.

So if your entire life runs a day behind everyone else’s, or if you’ve fruitlessly poked a Poky One, The Art of Procrastination might help deal with the situation. Grab this book. Read it.

Don’t wait.

Rimbey library again part of Snapshot Day Submitted Rimbey Municipal Library is joining public libraries across the province in “Snapshot Day 2012” during October to show how important public libraries and library systems are to the residents and communities of Alberta.

“It’s just to give a better idea about what the library does and that it’s actually needed,” said Rimbey library assistant Emily Peacock.

On Oct. 12, Rimbey Municipal Library will compile statistics, customer comments, photographs and other data chronicling a typical library day. The results at Rimbey Municipal Library will be added to those of public libraries across Alberta to show how libraries provide invaluable services.

Last year on Snapshot Day Rimbey’s library had 340 visitors; eight reference questions, 139 program attendees and hosted five programs.

When asked why is the library important, the library receives comments including: “Reading is important to us.” “It’s a place where we can explore new places, ideas, and activities within our community.” “It’s an environment free of judgment and is always open and accepting with all

its programs.” “The library is important to me because reading is my favourite hobby.” and “The staff here treat me like family.”

Last year, 35 public libraries in the Parkland Regional Library System joined public libraries across the province in Snapshot Day 2011. The results created a compelling picture of the ways in which central Albertans value their library as a place to connect, learn, grow, and have fun.

During the 2011 Snapshot Day, 4,755 people visited local libraries, 7,903 items were circulated, 75 programs were offered for 1,439 participants, and 685 people used their library’s computers.

This year the Rimbey Municipal Library will put on some special programs. Storyteller Pearl Ann Gooding will perform at 10 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 12:55 p.m., and 1:55 p.m. The evening programming consists of a free family barbeque at 5 p.m. followed by a hands-on Winter Wildlife presentation by the Kerry Wood Nature Center at 6 pm. All programs are free to the public, and children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult.

Check out these programs and become a part of the library’s Snapshot Day.

Spartans build on successes

By Amelia Naismith

Rimbey’s girls’ senior volleyball team won their pool with ease but lost out in the semifinals at their recent home tournament.

“We played really well in the round robin, “ said volleyball coach Lisa Shukin. “We confidently walked through our pool.”

Rimbey lost to St. Dominic’s from Rocky Mountain House in the semifinals. “The Rocky girls played amazingly well,” said Shukin.

Shukin feels the Spartans lost partly due to a lack of confidence. Rimbey played St. Dominic’s earlier in league play and Shukin says they lost badly. The first set during the tournament also didn’t go well. “They were a little gun shy.”

Shukin said the team regained their confidence for the second set “when they realized they could do this.” Despite their rocky, start Rimbey lost by only two points, 25-23.

“You have to try and put them with people they trust and carry that trust across all the players,” said Shukin. She says building the girl’s confidence, by improving their technical playing, is something the team is going to work on.

When Rimbey first played St. Dominic’s, a lack of technicality led to a lack of confidence.

“We did not play well . . . we were missing serves galore,” said Shukin.

The team worked hard to improve their play

for the tournament, said Shukin, but had a “mental glitch” when they played St. Dominic’s.

“We are definitely a team that is capable of winning a tournament. They communicate well as a team,” said Shukin. “We’re looking forward to having a strong season.”

Rimbey’s next home games are Oct. 15 and 16.

Hayley Shukin sends the ball sailing back over the net, hoping to get a point for the Spartans.

Residents encouraged to get flu shot

By Amelia Naismith Rimbey Pharmasave is providing free influenza vaccinations throughout the fall.

Alberta Health Services encourage Albertans to be vaccinated yearly and is setting up clinics around the province.

“As pharmacists we’re becoming more involved in vaccinating for the seasonal flu,” said Carl Ziegler.

Ziegler said winter is the peak flu season and by vaccinating as many people as possible now it’ll help con-

trol the severity and number of people who are affected. “By protecting yourself you’re protecting those around you.”

A person can be infected with the flu within five to 10 days of contact and can take weeks to completely recover, said Ziegler.

Each year the virus changes and those who want the protection of the vaccination should update annually.

According to the Alberta Health Services website most vaccinations are good for only a year.

Ziegler said there are no age lim-

its and no dietary restrictions prior to receiving the vaccination. He says the only thing you need to have is an Alberta health care card. “We record it onto your Alberta health care card.”

Rimbey’s Pharmasave also doesn’t require an appointment for vaccinations but Ziegler says it’d be good to call ahead to see what time works best.

For more information about the recommended vaccination, including vaccinations and pregnancies, visit www.albertahealthserivces.ca.
