RCMP serve a busy week Success coach collaborates on self-help book Rimbey RCMP had a steady week investigating 40 files. Highlights of the week include break and enters, theft, uttering threats to kill, motor vehicle collisions and more drug charges. Liquor store thefts under investigation Police are actively investigating the rash of liquor store break and enters in Rimbey since December. Mounties are pursuing all leads in these matters. Several liquor stores in central Alberta towns have been hit in the last month. The investigation is ongoing. Report suspicious activity Another oilfield site was targeted by thieves who stole diesel fuel from the tanks located at a rig site east of Rimbey. If you witness a suspicious vehicle in your neighborhood, please call police immediately. In some cases, police have received tips from observant citizens but they called us the following day and the culprits were long gone from the area. Rimbey Mounties have laid many charges for these type of crimes this year. In several cases, the bandits were from elsewhere. Help us catch them at the scene of the crime. Call right away. Drug charge laid A 49-year-old Rimbey woman was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana. Chronic offender jailed Mounties took a very well known 44-yearold chronic offender straight to jail this week for breaching his court ordered condition to not consume alcohol. He is also charged with uttering threats and for causing
mischief. Weather leads to collisions Winter road conditions made for a hectic week responding to collisions in the area. In several incidents, vehicles ran off the roadways. Thankfully, there were no life-threatening injuries and in most cases, everyone was wearing a seatbelt. Mounties attend domestic disputes Officers attended several more domestic disputes where alcohol was a contributing factor. In several cases, charges were laid for assault or for breaching a court order to not consume alcohol. Sadly, children are often in the home witnessing the chaos so Children’s Services assisted police during the investigations. Collision with moose causes antlers to loose An officer attended the scene of an accident this week where an SUV collided with Bullwinkle. The impact was so severe it knocked the antlers right off of the big bull moose. The responding officer thought about displaying the antlers proudly in his den but then reconsidered the idea since it would have been difficult to explain the bright yellow paint and tire impressions left on them from the crash. If you have any information on these or any other crimes, please call the Rimbey RCMP at (403) 8432224 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477, #8477 on Telus Mobility or *8477 on Rogers AT&T Crime Stoppers is a community program that does work. Do your part and call now.

new anthology; Unlocking the Power of You: 12 Keys to Health, Happiness and Success. Unlocking the Power of You is compiled from the works of 12 different authors. Each author is a self-improvement expert with topics ranging from attracting your ideal weight, to soul care for the super stressed woman, to finding happiness in life’s messes. Co-author Zaheen Nanji, who is also a success coach, professional speaker and owner of Shanti Wellness Centre in Wetaskiwin, feels the book will educate and motivate readers to develop the attitude, skills and habits to improve their life in whichever area they want. “I like that everyone can read this book and get something out of it.” Nanji’s section of the book deals with weight gain, loss, and attracting your ideal weight. “It’s mostly for people who’ve been struggling with their weight for a number of years. I think they’ll understand why I have a reason for struggling with food.” In her chapter, Nanji talks about using pleasure and negativity as motivations to lose weight. She says those who are motivated by pleasure, such as wanting to lose weight to become more flexible, while negative motivation would be wanting to lose weight because one doesn’t want joint pain. Those who are motivated by pleasure are able to keep the weight off because they have an easier time looking forward to achieve their goals. “I’m hoping that reading the book, people will realize what about weight loss is important to them and why they want to lose weight. Once they figure out what’s important that will actually motivate themselves to get back on track.” When Nanji was given the opportunity to be a part of the book she jumped at the chance. “I knew I always wanted to write a book. You just have that goal, but you don’t know where to start.” Working on Unlocking the Power of You gave Nanji the skills to meet a deadline and with one book already done she’s looking forward to writing another, which will be a memoir. When Nanji was 15 years old she immigrated to Canada without her parents. While having to overcome cultural differences, many of them associated to weight gain and her personal relationship with food, Nanji also worked to overcome a stutter she’d had all her life.
