The Rimbey Review, Jan. 20, 2015 3

Rimbey RCMP detachment investigated 40 files this week Drug possession busts Your local Mounties made two more drug busts resulting in seizures of marihuana, cocaine and drug paraphernalia. A local 27 year old man was arrested and charged for illegal possession of narcotics. In a separate case, a 17 year old male from Bluffton was charged with drug possession. Police will continue to pursue those who are involved in the illegal drug trade in our community.

Domestic abuse reports Police are investigating a case of domestic abuse where the victim was allegedly assaulted over a long period of time. Eventually, she reported the violent behaviour to police and the man has since been arrested and charged with numerous criminal offences. There is no excuse for hurting a loved one either through physical or emotional abuse. Help is available. Rimbey and District Victim Services Unit has trained staff and volunteers available at any time, please call (403) 843-8494 or the detachment for assistance.

Sometimes, we see a variety of cases that would just make you cringe. Sometimes, we see cases that make us laugh. Many times incidents are reported that make us say, “whaaaaaat!?!”. Unbelievably, this was a week full of the “whaaaaats”. In one such case, a young lady called 911 to report that her parents were making her do her homework against her will. That call nearly tops the drug user who called 911 to report that his local drug dealer was charg-

ing way too much for meth now because of all the raids going on... what his supplier was charging now was in his words, “just criminal”.

Wedding ring found An honest citizen found a ladies wedding ring set on the side walk and turned them in to the detachment. If you are missing your wedding set, please stop by the office to identify the rings.

Man with handgun Police responded quickly to a report of a man seen walking between houses and in alleys while carrying a handgun during the middle of the day. Police were unable to locate the suspicious person and no further reports were received in regards to the matter.

Missing and in jail Two missing person cases were reported.

In both cases, it was because police had arrested the men on outstanding warrants and they were sitting in jail and failed to notify their family of their whereabouts. Being in jail is bad enough...apparently working up the courage to tell your wife or mother that you are in jail is even worse!

Scrape your windows for driving safety Police dealt with countless other calls for service, including a sexual assault case, Mental Health Act incidents, motor vehicle collisions, trespassing, fraud and other issues. Officers still found time to patrol school zones and highways to ensure everyone is driving safely. Officers noticed a trend that deserves mentioning... please take an extra minute in the morn-

SUBMITTED

ing to scrape off your windshield for a totally unobstructed view. One lady was seen driving her kids to school and she had only scraped a pie sized hole to peek through on her windshield.

Kids walking to school need your full attention - if you can’t see them...how are you going to stop in time for them! Winter driving conditions make stopping on a dime impossible, so please drive with extra cau-

tion and slow down.

If you have any information regarding these or any other crimes, please call the local Rimbey RCMP Detachment at (403) 843-2224 or Crime Stoppers: PHONE: 1-800-222-8477 #8477 on Telus Mobility *8477 on Rogers AT&T Crime Stoppers is a community program that does work! Do your part and call now.

OPINION

Being committed will take you to where you want to be Something I really look forward to doing once every two weeks is volunteering to participate in fire practice night at the Eckville Fire Department.

Through attending the practices and taking some necessary steps, I am now a member of the department. But I don’t volunteer for bragging rights, I volunteer because every practice night I get Jasmine to take part in a new adventure, O’Halloran-Han which gives me the inevitable outBLACK PRESS come of learning new skills. So far I have learned how to break a car window, how to operate the settings on the water house and how to properly secure hoses onto a fire hydrant.

I still remember my very first practice night, as by the end of the night I could feel the desire to be a firefighter rush through my veins and enter the core of my body. I even watch videos of fire fighters rescuing people from burning buildings, as I find something very mentally relaxing with dwelling on the logistics of how to save a person’s life.

I can fully admit that there may be times in the future where I may not want to attend all practices, but I also have to take into account that being committed is the key to being who you want to become. I still love being a reporter, but I see being a firefighter as more of a hobby that I take very seriously as a firefighter’s responsibility is to not only put out fires but save people’s lives.

The amount of acceptance and respect I receive from the guys in the department are two of the things that motivates me to stay committed. It’s an atmosphere of where patriarchy is non-existent; I wear the same uniform and hat the rest of the guys do and I partake in all the responsibilities the guys do. Again, it doesn’t matter than I am a girl, it matters that I show my commitment.

Practicing with the men, consistently gives me the

chance of truly learning the hands on skills of how to handle the equipment, as the guys show me exactly what to do and what not to do. Sure, we are only practicing once every two weeks, but one day, it will be the real thing. This is why I am committed to doing what it takes to learn how to be prepared for handling real life situations. The skills I learn during practice are very valuable and I don’t take them for granted.

As I think into the future, I am sure I will one day be in dangerous situations which makes me ask myself ‘how am I really going to react?’ The thought of this doesn’t send shivers down my spine or make my hair stand up, it makes me take everything that much more seriously, because sooner or later I will have everything I need to be a firefighter, just as long as I remain committed.

MLA Anglin holds town hall meeting Treena Mielke

More than 20 people braved the cold winter temperatures to attend a town hall meeting held by MLA Joe Anglin last Thursday.

Anglin said later about 28 people attended the meeting held at the Rimbey Legion Hall.

“We discussed every topic under the sun and I was pleased to hear the concerns and chat with the people,” he said.

Anglin, the former Wildrose candidate is now running as an Independent.

Though he is pleased with his decision, he said the door is always open for change.

“I never closed the door,” he said. “You should never close any door.”

While he is not happy with the inner workings of the Wildrose Party, he remains loyal to the basic concepts of the Party.

“I did a lot to help build that party. I went to 91 communities and held 261 town hall meetings. I would not have gone (crossed the floor)”, he said.

Anglin said he understands why Albertans are confused and angry about Danielle Smith crossing the floor and taking several other MLAs with her.

“Albertans have a sense of fairness; a great sense of fairness and they feel totally betrayed,” he said.

The dissention in the party had begun long before the MLAs and leader Danielle Smith crossed over to the PCs, he said.

“There was a virus destroying it from the inside and these issues have not gone away. Can it be saved?

Anything can be saved, but the people responsible for the destruction of the party are still there.”

Being an Independent has allowed him to stay true to his principles, he said.

“I have done that and I’m proud of that,” he said.

Anglin is especially proud of the fact the ‘transparency in the billing act’ was passed in the legislature.

MLA Joe Anglin

“I was the first Independent to have a bill passed in 91 years,” he said. “It is a bill that will help people understand where all these extra costs are coming from on their utility bills. “It was rewarding to be able to do something constructive versus just being the critic.”

Anglin doesn’t expect Albertans will see changes to their bills for about a year so the process can be completed.

Anglin had kudos for Premier Jim Prentice and the PCs, but admitted to being worried about cuts which may see the proposed senior’s lodge put on hold.

“We’ve not broken ground yet and any project that is not started could be cut or delayed,” he noted. “There are no sacred cows,” he added.

He is pleased that Hwy. 53 through Rimbey has been paved and gives credit to the RCMP for stating the original highway had become dangerous, thereby expediting the paving process.

Anglin plans to hold more meetings in communities throughout the Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre riding to meet with residents and discuss relevant issues.

“The landscape has changed considerably,” he said.

Grade 1 and 2 sang “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” and held up their drawing of a hippo at the conclusion of their set.

“Holly Jolly Christmas” was sung by the Grade 3 as they entered the gymnasium and took their places on stage then they sang “Silent Night” with an unusual twist.

Fine Arts teacher Marla Kolybaba, aided by her daughter who is studying in Munich Germany and an internet web site, the entire class practiced and learned and sung the song in German.

The Grade 4 did a vey lively version of the “Twelve Days of Christmas” with performers popping out all over from behind and inside of props which kept the heads of the audience swinging around to see where the next student(s) would pop out from. It was very entertaining, and the performers timing was meticulous.

For the next item in the program you could have hear the proverbial pin drop. The entire Grade 5 class was silent while on stage. They performed “O Little Town of Bethlehem” without making a sound. They did the entire song in sign language while dressed in dark colors and wearing white gloves, and being illuminated with black light. The coordinated movements of the bright white gloves kept the audience in awe. The only sound was the accompanying methodical background singing of the song by Ms. Kolybaba and Grade 12 student Vivien Schunk. Custodian Lucy Anderson was very helpful ensuring the movements were learned exactly correct. It was astounding!

The junior high Fine Arts Class performed with the hand bells and senior high Fine Arts students Vivien Schunk, and from grade 11 Christianna Alapo, Taylor Hand and Chris McLaren sang “Light a Candle” while the grade 5’s silently held candles in the dark on stage, the artificial candlelight in many cases illuminating a wonderful child’s face.

Kolybaba said she picked “old fashioned Christmas” as the theme in honor of Bentley’s 100th anniversary coming up and that the concert happened as a result of the collaborative decision of the entire committee who helped her put it on.

A Grinch Christmas bouquet/tree was auctioned off by teacher Mr. Jason Hazlett, ‘guest auctioneer’, at the conclusion of the afternoon performance and all the other classes fundraising Christmas baskets were raffled off after the evening performance.

There were far too many students, parents, and others that helped behind the scenes to mention them all but without them it wouldn’t have been possible.

Cutter parade back in town next month Jasmine O’Halloran–Han Black Press

15013MF0

The Rimbey Sleigh, Wagon and Saddle Club parade will make its way to town this year Feb. 7 at 1 p.m. The cutter parade will be filled with sleighdrawn horses, which provides a great opportunity for sleigh drivers to rally together and show the public what they are all about.

In this year’s parade, drivers will lead their horses in display on Rimbey’s Agricultural Society grounds out-door track. A silent auction and concession will be held indoors as well.

Club members and other local drivers are welcome to participate in the parade and are asked to arrive with all their equipment and be registered no later than noon, as registration time will be held between 10 a.m. and noon on the grounds.

This year is the 23rd annual cutter parade, and the town’s citizens have waited two years to see this annual parade again, as the last successful parade they saw was in 2013. Last year’s parade had to be cancelled due to cold weather, deep snow and fewer club volunteers.

“It’s fun to participate or watch as it’s a celebration of a longstanding tradition and a way to enjoy winter,” said club director Sandy Bell. “It’s an acknowledgement and an appreciation of dedicated drivers and their talented driving horses.”

There aren’t any new rules this year but Bell said there is a focus on safety, as there is a limited amount of space available.

“There are no saddle horses, except for the parade out-riders who will help maintain a safe environment,” Bell said.

For more information please visit the Rimbey Sleigh, Wagon and Saddle Club Facebook page for current information.

Kristen Rylance organized the challenge in the hopes of getting more people involved in incorporating more physical activity in their lifestyles, as walking can decrease cardiovascular disease, increase bone health and improve mental health she said.

“It’s a good way for people with chronic disease to safely exercise,” Rylance said.

Rylance said there was an attempt to partake in the challenge last year, but this year they have altered the setup in the hopes that more people will have the desire to participate.

Influence - Carson Tarnasky leaning up against ‘influence’, a sculpture he completed during his internship in Shafer, Minnesota, at the Franconia Sculpture park.

JOHN HOCK

Architect designs commemorative sculpture Jasmine O’Halloran–Han Black Press Carson Tarnasky, a 21 year-old industrial design student and native of Rimbey, is working towards becoming a great architect as he is currently finishing his final semester of a four-year degree program at the University of Alberta.

Tarnasky said he sees industrial design as being the creative side of manufacturing every day products, and said his university training is giving him valuable skills in creating new products and allowed him to discover artistic design.

“I was always interested in creating new things, art in particular,” Tarnasky said.

While at the U of A, Tarnasky got involved in the community of arts in Edmonton, which led to the community helping to provide the funding he needed to complete his university internship as an artist in Shafer, Minnesota. This is where he spent time to develop and create a steal and wood abstract memorial sculpture for his Grandfather Bill, which was placed in the Franconia Sculpture Park.

“In Minnesota they really encourage experimentation and exploring new ideas,” Tarnasky said.

Architect designs sculpture

The Rimbey Review, Jan. 20, 2015 13 Continued from page 11 “The sculpture was a lot of work but I felt accomplished because I had made a valuable piece of work. It was also a cathartic experience to built that sculpture for my grandfather as well because I reflected on his life.” After university Tarnasky said he hopes to gain some real world experience by applying to design and architectural firms who work

with clients to design different things such as custom design and public art projects, as he said he wants to gain a sense of what industry he prefers working in.

His end goal is to have his own individual art studio.

“I am also interested in gaining trade skills like carpentry,” Tarnasky said. “I want to gain those skills from the trades possibly as an apprentice so I can build my own skills to be my own individual artist.”

He said he suspects he will go to Calgary after completing university as the city has many job opportunities available.

“My initial prospects are in Calgary, those being companies I want to work for,” Tarnasky said.

“I want to work for a company where I do work that is applicable to my interests, such as an architecture firm in Calgary called Sans Facon.”

In Memoriam

FRED GLANFIELD BUCKINGHAM Hazel Buckingham of Rimbey, Alberta passed away in the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre on Tuesday January 13, 2015 at the age of 93 years.

Hazel Buckingham was born to John and Mary Prysko on November 22, 1921 on the family farm near Nisku which is now part of the Edmonton International Airport. She was the youngest of nine children. She moved to Bluffton in 1937. She married Walter in 1961 and moved to the family farm. One of Hazel’s greatest joys was working the family farm alongside her husband. She took great pleasure from her family and especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved tending her garden and took great pride in it. She also enjoyed camping and had many hobbies from sewing to woodworking. Hazel will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her daughters Vivian (Al) Brissette of Calgary; Brenda (Romeo) Denomme of Bluffton; and Pauline (John) Foss of Bluffton. She will also be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by 14 grandchildren, Al, Susan, Rob, Katrina, Jason, Erin, Noel, Austin, Nicole, Jeff, Jamie, Wendy, Cindy, and Tracy; and 17 greatgrandchildren, Jessica, Samantha, Ryley, Isaac, Aidynn, Seth, Ryley, Tessa, Danette, Marcedes, Alexis, Nash, Nell, Emma, Kiera, Zac, and Liam; as well as a host of other relatives and close friends. Hazel was predeceased by her beloved husband of 51 years, Walter, and her sons Clarence and Bob and one grandson Clifford. A Memorial Service & Celebration of Hazel’s life was held from the Hoadley Evangelical Missionary Church, Hoadley, Alberta, on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. with Reverend Steve Budd officiating. Interment followed in the Hoadley Cemetery. If friends desire, memorial tributes in Hazel’s memory may be made to S.T.A.R.S.

Sept. 2, 1927 - Jan. 20, 2013 “MY LOVE” You’ve just walked on ahead of me And I’ve got to understand You must release the ones you love And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can, But I’m missing you so much If only I could see you And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me Don’t worry I’ll be fine.

But now and then I swear I feel Your hand slip into mine, “Until we meet again, I will love you Forever and a Day.” Your wife Doreen

Diane Agnes Jaffray June 2, 1958 - Jan. 21, 2012 You went away without a farewell, You said goodbye to none, It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For a large part of each of us went with you That night three years ago.

Our family is incomplete without you.

Sadly missed by Wayne and family and Katrina, Leo and family.
