RIMBEY REVIEW 3

Cancer diagnosis life altering experience for young mom

BY TREENA MIELKE It happened in the month of June when the air was fragrant and warm with the promise of summer that she received the final diagnoses.

Breast cancer.

The news was devastating and even as the earth sprang to life and flowers bloomed and the grass grew green and neighbours went for long walks and sat companionably on their decks and porches, Christine Langford withdrew, quietly and determinedly, into her own little world of worry, fear and secrecy.

“I didn’t want to tell anyone,” she said. “I didn’t want their pity.”

Langford, a lovely dark haired 38-year-old mother-of-two girls, who lives at Meridian Beach on the shores of Gull Lake, recalled those first days after the diagnosis as being extremely difficult.

“As first there was disbelief, then I went into denial.

I kept thinking ‘why me?’

And, of course, there was a little bit of anger tossed in there. “ Dealing with the diagnoses mentally was a tough challenge, and Langford gives credit to her husband, Craig, for his support and encouragement through those dark days. Even when she became withdrawn and determined to keep her diagnoses a secret, he was there for her. And, finally, through his patience and understanding, he helped her find the strength to share her diagnosis and reach out to others.

“Cancer is a different animal,” Langford said. “It affects everybody. You can’t just walk it off. You need resources and people to help you heal.”

Her five-year-old daughter, Mckenzi was also a surprising source of strength, she said.

“My daughter’s innocence and acceptance of me was inspiring,” she said. “She was okay with it and it helped make me be okay with it. And slowly I began to re-evaluate my life and what’s important.”

One day she summoned up the courage to write a post on Facebook about her condition.

“The response was massive,” she said. “At first I was

incredibly uncomfortable.

Pity is a four letter word I didn’t want to have to deal with. But finally I recognized that it was caring and love I was being shown, not pity. It was very healing.”

Langford and her husband had agreed not to tell their 17-year-old daughter, Mikala, who was away at college in Lloydminister, of the diagnosis.

“She was one of the last ones to find out, but she has been awesome. She and Mckenzi ran the Run for Cancer at Bower Ponds in Red Deer with their dad five days after my surgery.”

On Sept. 29, Langford underwent a full mastectomy at the Red Deer Hospital.

The operation was performed as a day surgery and she returned home that evening. Her husband and her parents were on hand to tuck her safely into bed and help her during the recovery process.

Recently, Langford received her pathology results and, unfortunately those tests have shown the cancer is not completely eradicated. Further tests to determine how far the cancer has travelled and chemotherapy treatments will be needed.

Despite the news she is not quite cancer free, Langford is poised and ready to meet what lies ahead with strength and courage. She also has the utmost confidence in her surgeons, Mathew Mierhead and David MacDonald.

Meanwhile she wants to help others who are

struggling with their own diagnosis.

“What I have gone through has been life altering. I would say I am a changed person. Having cancer re-stacks the blocks for you. Material things are no longer as important and I just don’t let little things get to me anymore.”

Reaching out to others is important for anyone who has cancer, she said.

“Knowing you are not alone is huge. The diagnosis makes you feel like you

are, but you are not. It is so important to reach out and ask for help. Talk to someone. Cancer can eat away at you. It can do a lot of mental damage.”

Langmuir is no stranger to helping others with cancer. Last year, long before her own diagnosis, she biked 228 kilometers in The Enbridge Ride to Conquer cancer inspired by a co-worker’s two-year-old daughter who had been diagnosed with brain cancer. continued on page 5

Treena Mielke On The Other Side They were just little tykes, only five or sixyears old, wobbly on their skates and not yet sure how to use their newly taped up hockey sticks or actually maneuver their little uniform clad bodies into position.

But, despite their obvious lack of skill, their optimism and confidence was as bright and shiny as the crystal clean ice surface, polished to a glossy finish by the magic of a Zamboni.

Ice time for the Peanuts hockey team was 6:45 a.m. It was a time when

stick on the ice. I looked out at him, all tiny and cute and, my heart, under the hockey mom badge, turned over.

He caught my look and even through the mesh and the Plexiglas, we connected. He banged his little stick again, all puffed up and proud. It’s amazing the power you feel when you are six-years old and you know your mom’s watching you and she’s got your back.

I smile as I remember.

And then as suddenly as they appeared, the images of my days as a ‘hockey mom’ slowly fade away.

And I return to reality.

Once again, I find myself in a cold arena with no blast of comforting heat coming from the overhead

heaters. I am sitting beside my daughter, sipping some awful latte type concoction out of a Styrofoam cup.

It is early afternoon and the score is 7-3 for the other guys.

Suddenly the kid wearing the No. 12 jersey steals the puck and takes off down the ice, heading straight for the opposing goalie.

A break-a-way.

The crowd goes wild.

“Go, go, go,” the fans yell.

“Skate, shoot!”

My daughter moves a little away from me and that’s when I realize it is not really the crowd that has gone wild. It is only me.

“Shhh, mom, you are embarrassing me,” she mouths silently.

“Sorry,” I mutter.

But inside I’m all happy and proud and feel like cheering mostly because I’m a grandma and grandmas truly do get second chances.

I thought my days of being a hockey mom would last forever, but, weirdly enough, I, who was young and wise, was wrong.

Well, almost wrong.

Being a hockey grandma is just about as cool as being a hockey mom.

You still get to sit on the sidelines and watch someone you love and feel all warm and happy inside.

It’s great, it’s awesome and it is true!

Sometimes, being a grandma does mean getting second chances!

World Religions Conference provides thought provoking, valuable insight

Proofing Deadline Friday at 10 a.m.

Production:

puppies and babies and tired moms should still be sleeping in their own little beds and lovely heat registers should be breathing warmth all over them.

But here, in the sparsely filled stands of the arena, it was just cold and the overhead heaters did not breathe at all. Apparently, they were dead.

I trained my eyes on the one child who is wildly scrambling to continue to stand upright on his skates.

And suddenly, although it was freezing in the arena, I felt all warm and happy.

This little scrap of humanity dressed in an oversized hockey jersey was the one and only reason I climbed out of bed, drove to an ice-cold arena, and gingerly began sipping tepid liquid that someone at the concession sold to me as ‘hot coffee.’

He was the sole reason I wore the time-honored badge of ‘hockey mom.’

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a small boy banging his

I had the chance to attend the World Religions Conference (WRC) at the Red Deer College main stage last week. It was a hallmark event in that it was the tenth anniversary of the conference.

Dr. Guillermo Baron (a Philosophy instructor at RDC) has been the conference’s moderator since its beginning.

The WRC included four panelists: Dr. Arlette Zinck, representing Christianity; Dr. Paul Viminitz, representing Judaism; Elder John Crier, representing Aboriginal Spirituality; and Maulana Mubarak A. Nazir, representing Islam.

These panelists brought strong backgrounds in their respective fields and faiths; and the collective passion of the panelists fueled a great conference on the topics of forgiveness, punishment, justice, and reconciliation.

So why did I — a neck-tattooed, cowboy-boot-wearing, social-miscreant — attend a conference that highlights some predominate world religions? My short answer was because they had free food. But, in actuality, I was trying to cure my own ignorance.

I was drawn to the WRC as it would be an event

that I could add to my social attendance resume; and I have some curiosity for the fables, tales, stories, and lessons from the various religious texts.

My presence at the WRC was rewarded when the panel was opened for a question period. A question I had submitted was the first to be answered: What can a non-religious individual, who is seeking his or her own internal forgiveness, use from your respective religious teachings to achieve a path towards mindfulness.

In hindsight my question was wordy, long, and wrapped up in ambiguity.

I was probably attempting to create an intelligent question. The panelist’s answers were varied, but valued by me. One thing I took away from my WRC experience is that you don’t need to an

English major to appreciate Shakespeare and you don’t need to be religious to appreciate a lesson from a pious leader.

I could never fully do the conference justice by writing about it in my meager column in a local newspaper; however, my attendance adds to my growing repertoire of valuable experience and insight.

It’s important to understand all the angles of a discussion, whether it is on forgiveness, punishment, justice, and reconciliation — or a discussion on abortion, rape, assisted suicide, or murder. I’m learning that you need to know both sides and all sides of an argument.

Blindly rifling off apparent evidence and statements without consideration of the other position will leave an individual in a sphere of ignorant isola-

tion.

Talking about spirituality and religion is already a loaded conversation.

Conflicts and wars have and are being fought because of differences in belief. Religiosity is an emotionally loaded equation similar to marriage and raising a child. A sensible person would never rebuke the reality of a marriage between a happy couple; a sensible person would never scold a parent’s love for his or her children. Likewise — belief and faith are emotionally loaded convictions. I simply want to enhance my understanding before I join the conversation.

I’ve got a long way to go before I can even begin to claim any stake in worldly knowledge. The world is a weird place — and if I get a chance to ask questions, I’m going to.

The child was one of the children from four families from the area who attended a pool party donated by the Rimbey hotel to a silent auction fundraiser for multiple sclerosis. The pool party held last Sunday included fun in the pool, the waterslide and the hot tub and later the children were treated to hotdogs and snacks in the banquet room.

This year, the plucky young lady plans to participate in the ride again.

“It will be motivation to get healthy and I want to help other people. It’s a mental game. Support is everything.

We all need to do what we can.”

The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Alberta Cancer Foundation is a two-day, 200 km journey from Calgary along the front ranges of the Rocky Mountains.

The Ride is for everyone, from the weekend rider to seasoned cyclists. The Ride will take place on August 6-7, 2016.

Riders agree to raise at least $2,500, but many participants set their goals even higher! Since 2009, the Ride to Conquer Cancer has raised over $54 million for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Funds raised through Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer enable the Alberta Cancer Foundation to support breakthrough cancer research, clinical trials, enhanced care and the discovery of new cancer therapies at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Cross Cancer Institute and 15 other centers across Alberta.

October was the “Team Up Challenge” where teams are recruiting new or old riders to participate. More information can be found on the website which is www. conquercancer.ca.

Langford is also looking for travel companions to join her on her epic ride next summer.

Bethany Group resigns as CAO for Rimoka

BY TREENA MIELKE In a surprise, totally unexpected move, The Bethany Group announced its resignation last week as the CAO for the Rimoka Housing Foundation.

“It was a surprise,” said Rimoka Foundation Board chairman Paul McLauchlin. “We were shocked.”

McLauchlin said it is an amiable parting of the ways, however, and both parties will work with the Ministry of Seniors Housing on the transition of duties to the Rimoka Foundation.

“It’s regrettable,” he said, “but board and management were going in two different directions.”

“The Rimoka Foundation Board will ensure residents continue to be provided the same quality of life and services presently enjoyed and a smooth transition to new management,” he said.

McLauchlin noted that historically the CAO is a one person position.

“Our first step is to identify someone to fill that CAO position.”

LAND AUCTION Notice is hereby given that, under the provisions of the Municipal Government Act, Lacombe County will offer for sale, by public auction, in the County Office at 40403 Range Road 274, Lacombe County, Alberta, on Friday, November 20, 2015, at 2:00 p.m., the following lands: Lot(s) 1 7-10

Certificate of Title COT 112036650 COT 219H250

Each parcel will be offered for sale, subject to a reserve bid and to the reservations and conditions contained in the existing certificate of title.

The lands being offered for sale are on an “as is, where is” basis and Lacombe County makes no representation and gives no warranty whatsoever as to the adequacy of services, soil conditions, land use districting, building and development conditions, absence or presence of environmental contaminations, or the developability of the subject land for any intended use by the purchaser.

No bid will be accepted where the bidder attempts to attach conditions precedent to the sale of any parcel.

No terms and conditions of sale will be considered other than those specified by Lacombe County.

The lands may be occupied and are offered for sale subject to the existing tenancy.

Terms: Cash or Certified Cheque Lacombe County may, after the public auction, become the owner of any parcel of land that is not sold at the public auction.

Redemption may be effected by payment of all arrears of taxes and costs at any time prior to the sale.

The Blindman Handi-van Society has new wheels

BY TREENA MIELKE The club has purchased a 2014 MV-1 van for approximately $62,000.

The vehicle was purchased through the help of The Rimbey Lions Club, the Rimbey Hospital Auxiliary, The Lavesta

Group and private donations.

The new van is designed with safety features throughout the vehicle.

It has been built for the purpose of transporting wheelchair or scooter passengers and features a side entry ramp. It is

designed from the ground up, resulting in more internal cabin space, increased height between the floor and ceiling and a wide ramp/door to accommodate wheelchairs or scooters. The integrated access ramp can accommodate up to 1,200

pounds, has an anti-slip surface and stores the ramp under the floor of the vehicle so no interior space is used.

The wheelchair cabin is also designed so the wheelchair passenger may position their chair next to the driver or face forward in the back seat.

The van will accommodate one wheelchair and three regular passengers as well as the driver.

“It will be more efficient to run and have the capability of doing the job better,” said Allen Elliott, president of the Blindman Handi-van Society.

Presently volunteers drivers include Elliott, Gene Chopiuk, Earl Jensen, Ted Everden and Don Cornell. Wayne Colenut is a paid driver. The cost is $7 for a return trip within the town’s limits. It is 55 cents a kilometer for trips outside of town.

“We need more volunteer drivers,” said Elliott.

“We also need a new secretary.”

The society plans to sell its 2008 Ford van which is still road worthy, but not as efficient as the new vehicle to operate.

New regional fire chief hired

Dennis Jones has been hired as the Regional Fire Chief for The Town of Ponoka and Ponoka County, the Town of Rimbey Photo submitted and the Summer Village of Parkland Beach.

BY TREENA MIELKE The Rimbey fire department’s loss will be the regional fire service’s gain.

Dennis Jones, who is now a member of the Rimbey Fire Department, has been hired to take over the reins of the regional fire service for Ponoka County.

“I’ll still be part of the fire department, just in a different way,” he said.

Before I reported to John and Bonnie. Now they will report to me.”

Jones brings to the position a wealth of experience in fire fighting, a knowledge of the physical layout of the county and a background

as a certified level two fire instructor.

He said he was happy to accept the position.

“I have been a banker for 26 years, but for the last eleven years my passion has been firefighting. This job is a good fit for me.”

Ponoka County Reeve Paul McLauchlin said all applicants who applied for the position were well qualified, but Jones’es experience with fire departments, extensive fire fighting training and business background singled him out as the right man for the job.

“He is a great community guy. He is just what we were looking for and he fits like a

glove for the position.”

Jones has served on both the Ponoka and the Rimbey volunteer fire departments.

He has 26 years managerial experience in banking and is a graduate from Athabasca university with a Bachelor of Management Degree with Distinction.

Jones said the transition as bank manager of Servus Credit Union in Ponoka to regional fire chief has been a fairly seamless process.

“The county has been very supportive. Both the credit union and the county are very community minded. They actually have a lot in common.”

The need for a regional fire chief was determined since the Town of Ponoka and Ponoka County agreed to form a regional fire partnership including the Town of Rimbey and the Summer Village of Parkland Beach.

McLauchlin noted that increased development around Gull Lake was one of the reasons regionalization of fire services was instigated.

“It has been a long term plan.”

An advisory committee will be established with representatives from all entities involved. The committee will work with fire services management to establish terms of reference.

Jones, who will begin his duties Nov. 27, will work out of the Ponoka County office at 4205 Highway 2A, Ponoka.

Beatty House to celebrate 90 year birthday party

BY FLORENCE STEMO It was circa 1925, after a fire had destroyed their store and their home that was above the store, that Jack and Violet Beatty moved into their new home, a lovely, modern California bungalow-style house located on a bare quarter west of the ravine that ran along what is now 51st Street.

Jack died in 1956, and their son, Don McClain, was killed in an accident. When Mrs. Beatty died in the mid ’80s, the Town of Rimbey bought the property from her heirs with a view to using it as the public library. However, a feasibility study showed that it would not be suitable without major renovation, so the Town decided to sell the property to the highest bidder. A committee, acting under the umbrella of the local Historical Society submitted a bid of $65,000, made possible by a loan from a former son from the Rimbey area, Don Evernden.

The bid was successful, and the property passed into the hands of the Beatty House Committee.

The loan has long since been paid off; the Committee has grown into a Society; the house, grounds, and stone wall have been restored and the property has been designated as an historic site at both the municipal and provincial levels.

RCMP on lookout for armed robber who stole generator from camper Rimbey - On the morning of Tuesday, October 13, Rimbey RCMP were dispatched to a report of a man armed with a handgun who had stolen a generator from a camper in the gravel pit situated just west of the junction of Highway 22 and Highway 53.

The 42 year-old female victim was alone in her camper in the gravel pit when the lone male suspect drove up in a pick-up truck. The suspect took a generator which was near the camper and placed it on a black flatbed trailer which was hitched to his truck. The victim came out of the camper to confront the suspect. Reaching behind his back, the suspect pulled out a hand gun and pointed it at the woman, who ran back into the camper. The suspect drove off in his truck towing the trailer with the stolen generator. He left the gravel pit and drove north on Highway 22.

Once he learned of the robbery, the victim’s husband realized that he had passed the suspect’s truck on the way back to the camper.

He returned to Highway 22 in his own vehicle and caught up with the suspect vehicle and followed it until it turned off of Highway 22 and into a cutline just south of Medicine Lake Road.

Police resources dispatched to the robbery and resulting search of the cutline and surrounding area, included members from the Rimbey, Breton and Rocky Mountain House RCMP detachments as well as Police Dog Services (PDS). An aerial search was also conducted by RCMP Air Services. The search turned up a trailer abandoned in the bush with the stolen generator still on it. The suspect and his pickup truck were not located.

Police are seeking the assistance of the public in

He was wearing black pants with brown patches on the knees and thighs, and a grey sweater that was

Local businesses have thrown their support behind Rimbey Minor Hockey this year

BY TREENA MIELKE A total of 11 businesses have shelled out $500 for naming rights for one of the 11 Rimbey Minor Hockey teams.

Minor hockey president Jason Ryden is pleased with the support the businesses have shown.

“It’s a great way to get some recognition out there. It is especially good (for the business) when the teams are out of town and the name gets mentioned.”

Ryden said the minor hockey association worked with the Rimbey Chamber of Commerce to bring the idea to fruition.

“We decided to try it and see how it went and it was well received.”

Funding is being used to purchase dividers for the ice so that more than one team can practice at the same time.

Ryden said the funding was especially needed this year, as there is only midget team and no longer a bantam girls’ team.

He added there is a full complement of coaches.

Businesses who purchased naming rights and the corresponding teams are as follows: Co-operators Insurance Rimbey Renegades Midget, SIRRS Law Group Rimbey Renegades Bantam, Canalta Rimbey Renegades Peewee A, A & W Rimbey Renegades Peewee B, Eckrim Rimbey Renegades Atom A, 24/7 Compression Rimbey Renegades Novice, Apex Landscaping Rimbey Renegades Novice, Rimbey Co-op Renegades Novice, Frontline Compression Rimbey Renegades Initiation, Norstrom Dental Rimbey Renegades Tiny Mite.

November is seniors’ falls prevention month Let’s face it; falls can happen to anyone at any time but the reality is that as we get older our risks of falling are greater. The statistics paint an alarming picture; one in three Alberta seniors will fall every year. Not only are falls the leading cause of serious injuries in older adults they also result in reduced mobility as fears can increase over getting up and moving around.

While staying in one place may reduce the risk of falling, it also negatively affects your quality of life.

That’s why the theme for this year’s Senior’s Fall Prevention month is Keep Balance – Increase Your Strength and Balance.

“We’re asking seniors to help reduce their risk of falls by participating in the “Seniors’ Keep Active Challenge”, says Jodie Breadner, Clinical Coordinator, Falls Risk Management Program, Calgary. “People can participate by themselves, with friends or through fitness classes. It’s as simple as signing up through UWalk on the Finding Balance website, then counting and recording steps or minutes of physical activity from November 1 – 30.”

While Fall Prevention Month is geared to seniors, it’s a good opportunity to remind all Albertans about the risk of falling. As temperatures drop, the risk of snow and ice increases. Every year, thousands of Albertans are hurt falling on icy roads and walkways.

Injury prevention experts say the best way to avoid falls on ice and snow is to waddle like a penguin.

RIMBEY REVIEW 13

Alberta Federation of Labour praises budget Edmonton – Albertans are receiving good government in trying economic times.

The Alberta Federation of Labour praised the provincial budget tabled today, noting that budget cuts in a time of economic downturn would have thrown the province into a deep recession.

“The Notley Government has made the best of a bad situation,” Alberta Federation of Labour President Gil McGowan said. “They were handed a broken revenue system with tax rates way below those of any other province, and far below those Alberta had a decade ago, and they have the courage to make incremental steps towards fair taxation. They’re tabling this budget during one of the predictable downturns in the price of oil, and they have the foresight to respond by investing in infrastructure.”

The budget accounts for the growing needs of Albertans. It includes a four per cent increase for Health, two per cent increase for Advanced Education, sufficient increases to Education to fully fund enrollment growth, and $4.3 billion in sustained funding for Human Services, including income supports

and programs that serve Albertans who are vulnerable to an economic slowdown. The Notley Government continues to implement its platform by budgeting for 2,000 long-term care beds and a robust public homecare plan, a two-year tuition freeze for post-secondary students, and the elimination of school fees.

And this budget showcases the government’s commitment to Alberta’s future growth by providing hardworking families with a new Alberta Child Benefit, to support 235,000 children, and setting out a bold vision for sustained and diverse job growth with new initiatives across the government.

“The right-wingers are spinning a fable that you can have good healthcare without paying for it, that you can pay no taxes and still see massive budget surpluses … but the world doesn’t work that way. This is a budget

for the real world, and given the real world facts, this government has tabled a reasonable budget,” McGowan said. “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. You can’t spin straw into gold.

And all those right-wing Rumpelstiltskins who would tell you otherwise are living in a fantasy.”

McGowan noted that with a more reasonable revenue system like the one Alberta had in the 1990s, the government would have been able to set aside more than $8 billion each year from 2001-2013, while oil revenues were more lucrative.

This would have provided more of a financial cushion against economically troubling times.

“The next time that the province is awash with oil dollars, we will need a government that remembers to put some revenues aside for times like these, rather than throwing it away on Ralph Bucks,” McGowan said.

Business weighs in NDP budget bad for jobs and Alberta EDMONTON, AB: Business leaders are weighing in on the NDP government’s plan for higher taxes, record debt and risky economics saying it will do little for job growth across Alberta, the Wildrose Official Opposition said recently.

According to the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME), the budget does “little to incent much needed investments to improve industry’s competitiveness, and to help stem the loss of jobs in the manufacturing sector.”

“The NDP’s economic agenda does almost nothing for the families facing the anxiety of job losses and wage cuts every day in the private sector,” Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said. “Businesses, industry and everyday Albertans understand that risky economic plans, higher taxes and record debt will never be a strong formula for strengthening the

economy.”

On the NDP government’s expensive job grants program, several businesses are saying it will do little to trigger investment and hiring.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has noted the program does not reflect of what business owners are feeling right now as they are “looking to cut back on staff.”

Wildrose Shadow Jobs Minister Grant Hunter said NDP policies like higher taxes, more regulations and dramatic 50 per cent wage increases are only doing more damage to businesses dealing with Alberta’s tough economic reality.

“The NDP government is tied to a misguided ideology that works against growth instead of encouraging it,” Hunter said. “If the NDP was serious about supporting jobs and families, it would back down from its risky economic experiments.”

I suggest that the organizers of Taekwondo, dance and hockey or any other child fitness organizations also consider these requirements when issuing receipts. We as parents now have what we need to ensure we check our receipts for these requirements. If you are on a board, or part of one of these amazing organizations that we all benefit from, you better adjust those receipts as they can be re-submitted and I would like mine fixed!

JONES Chester (Chett) Franklin HOFER Michael ‘Mike’ R. Hofer of the Hutterian Brethren Colony of Leedale passed away peacefully on Monday, October 26, 2015 at the age of 62 years.

Mike was born on May 22, 1953 at the Pine Hill Colony, the youngest child of George and Annie Hofer. His family moved to the Leedale Colony in 1972. On January 27, 1980, Mike married his companion in love, Rosa Waldner of the Turin Colony. The Lord blessed them with five children. As a father and grandfather, Mike was wholeheartedly devoted to his family, cherishing his grandchildren as they brightened his darkest days. As a leader, he was a shining example of honesty and integrity, most often sealed with his sincere gaze into your eyes and his firm, genuine handshake. Many will remember his legacy by how he connected with and touched everyone he met, establishing many wonderful friendships. Mike was a man of quiet wisdom, burning out his life as a candle seeking the well-being of others. He took great pride and joy in his work and responsibilities as hog boss for 24 years, and farm manager for 14 years. He excelled in his calling and duties, and credited God for all his achievements. To God be the Glory! Four years ago, Mike was diagnosed with cancer; thereby, commenced a valiant and courageous battle for life with the unwavering help and support of his family, friends, and the colony. On early Monday morning, Mike passed over to the Heavenly side.

He died a week after harvest was complete; having provided guidance and advice throughout, thus fulfilling his life’s work to the very end. Left to mourn and cherish his memory is his loving wife of 35 years, Rosa; and his five children: Dianne (Rueben) Stahl of Gildford, Montana; Walter (Mary) Hofer of Leedale; Albert (Hanna) Hofer of Leedale; Betty (Henry) Hofer of Leedale; and Julie (Joel) Hofer of Rosebud, Alberta; as well as seven treasured grandchildren: Tristan, Jaden, Aaron, Dorthea, Heidi, Logan, and Kady. His memory will also be lovingly cherished by his siblings: J. Annie of Bentley; George (Rachel) of Bentley; Paul (Barbara) of Leedale; G. Elizabeth of Cayley, Alberta; Rachel of Bentley; Susie (Jake) of Turin, Alberta; and Sara (Fred) of Cayley, Alberta; in addition to numerous nieces and nephews.

Mike was predeceased by his parents, George and Annie Hofer; his grandson, Abraham; and his brothers-in-law, Jake of Bentley; and George of Cayley. Funeral Services were held at the Hutterian Brethren Church of Leedale on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Interment followed in the Hutterian Brethren Colony Cemetery.

Condolences to the Hofer Family may be expressed by email to: special_reflections@telusplanet.net Burial Arrangements for the Late Michael ‘Mike’ R. Hofer entrusted to the care of OBERHAMMER FUNERAL CHAPELS LTD.

RIMBEY REVIEW 19

Poverty supper offers cause for reflection

BY FLORENCE STEMO

The Poverty supper is an annual Fall event, co-sponsored by the Rimbey United church and the Rimbey Group of Amnesty International. It is a simple meal of soup and bread, intended to have us pause, and reflect upon the inequality that exists in our world, causing many people to be deprived of their most basic needs.

Our thoughts at this year’s meal will focus on our First Nations neighbours near and far, with the theme “History and Hope: Life After Residential Schools”. Following the meal, a First Nations university graduate in Political Science, Lloyd Desjarlais, will speak about inter-generational trauma, touching on a number of subjects relating to the First Nations peoples. Mr. Desjarlais, originally from the Piapot First Nation in Saskatchewan, works in

the Meskananht Ka Nipa Wit School in Maskwasis.

There will be an opportunity for discussion, and for signing a letter, calling upon our newly-elected Federal Government to acknowledge the injustice of the problem of unsafe drinking water in First

Nation communities; and to solve the problem. It is a national shame, that as of July 31, 2015, there were 133 Drinking Water Advisories in effect in 93 First Nations communities excluding British Columbia. Health Canada no longer reports such

Eckville Town Lots Now Available!

Advisories in B.C. Everyone is welcome.

Come to the Rimbey United Church Sunday evening,

November 8, at 6 p.m.

There is no charge for the evening. Donations will be gratefully accepted for

the Maskwasis K-9 School Breakfast Program and The Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
