Coping with GriefDuring the Holidays

‘HOW CAN I GET THROUGHTHE HOLIDAYS?’

Key points to help you cope:• Plan for the approaching holidays. Be aware that this might be a diffi cult time for you. It

may affect you emotionally, cognitively & physically. Be prepared!• Recognize that the holidays won’t be the same. Doing things a bit differently can

acknowledge the change while preserving continuity with the past.• Be careful not to isolate yourself. It’s alright to take time for yourself, but don’t cut yourself

off from the support of family & friends. • The holidays may affect other family members. Talk over your plans. Respect their choices

& needs. Plan to compromise.• Avoid additional stress. Decide what you really want to do, & what can be avoided;

greeting cards, holiday baking, decorating etc. Do I really enjoy doing this? Is this a task that can be shared?

• Plan to be with the people YOU enjoy.• Don’t be afraid to express your feelings. Allow people to comfort you.• Recognize your loved one’s presence in the family. Burn a special candle. Hang a stocking

for your loved one in which people can put notes with their thoughts &/or feelings.• Keep in mind that the experience of many bereaved persons is that they do enjoy holidays

again.

Bentley schools commended for following proper protocol after receiving security threat

Students at Bentley schools did not expect their school day on Monday to end with po-lice offi cers escorting them to the arena so they could catch their respective buses and go home, but, as it turns out, that’s exactly what happened.

Principal Lane Moore said there was a securi-ty threat made towards Bentley School at 2:30 p.m. on Mon., Dec. 7.

Larry Jacobs, Superintendent of Wolf Creek Schools, said the phone call was made by someone who had re-ceived notifi cation of the security threat through Facebook.

“My understanding that it was a threat against the school build-ing itself,” said Jacobs “It was a second hand phone call,” he added.

Cpl. Kevin Halwa from the Sylvan Lake RCMP said the police haven’t been able to track down the person who made the phone call.

“That portion is still under investigation,” he said. “It is an uphill bat-

tle,” he added.Once the phone call

was received the ad-ministration team at the school followed Wolf Creek’s emergency re-sponse protocol and ini-tiated a hold and secure protocol with staff and students.

“Hold and secure does not allow students, par-ents or staff to enter or exit the school,” said Moore. “RCMP and Wolf Creek School Division were notifi ed and upon arrival they secured the scene and evacuated both buildings at a se-cure location.”

“It was handled ex-tremely well, very effi -ciently,” said Jacobs.

Once the buildings were evacuated, RCMP searched the schools.

“After the controlled evacuation we searched the school, but found nothing suspicious,” said Cpl. Halwa.

School buses parked at the Bentley arena and waiting parents picked students up about half an hour later than their usual scheduled pick up time.

Wolf Creek staff and Victim Services were on hand at the school, Tuesday, to answer any questions.

“The safety of our stu-dents is our top priority and we take these situ-ations very seriously. We hope that everyone un-derstands the need for this type of response to a threat made against our school,” said Moore.

Sylvan Lake RCMP were assisted by Rimbey

“AFTER THE CONTROLLED

EVACUATION WE SEARCHED THE SCHOOL, BUT

FOUND NOTHING SUSPICIOUS.”- CPL. HALWA.

RCMP and Rocky Mountain House RCMP who were in the area at the time also helped out. Staff from Lacombe County helped out with traffi c control.

Cpl. Halwa said the in-cident is not cause for alarm and he doesn’t see a need for increased se-curity at the school be-cause of it.

“If I had kids going to either school, I would have no problem send-ing them there.”

The students from the elementary and high school in Bentley were picked up by school buses at the arena last Monday after a security threat was received via telephone Monday afternoon. As a precaution, students were escorted by RCMP to the arena where buses were waiting to take them home.

The Christmas season is here, unfortunately bring-ing with it an underlying sense of upheaval, unrest and uncertainty.

Even as Canadians await the onslaught of immi-grants whom we have willingly opened our arms and our borders to, there remains a certain amount of trepidation.

For the most part Canadians do not want history to repeat itself and the majority are more than willing to open their bor-ders to strangers in need.

And so they should!In 1939, 907 Jewish ref-

ugees aboard the German

History offers

lessons for all

You will never get a cab at this hour

We arrived late at the Newark airport. By the time we made it to our accommodations on Manhattan Island, our room had been rebooked. However, the hotel com-pany found us a room in another location for the same cost as our original reservation. We simply had to catch a taxi and go

north 30 or 40 city blocks. This was a few years ago when I traveled to New York City with my friend Hobbes and his sister.

Hobbes’ sister began to show a lot of anxiety as a result of our situation: it was close to midnight, we hadn’t locked down our accommodations yet, and we were stuck on the streets of New York with all of our luggage. We were a mugger’s wet dream.

I remember her asking if we would be able to get a cab. This was an era before smartphones and Uber. We all shuffl ed to the edge of the sidewalk; I stuck my hand out into the street, like how I saw in done in the movies. Before I could turn my

head, a set of headlights were pulling up in front of us. A taxi had arrived.

There was an article I recently read that ex-pressed customer dismay for the traditional taxi service in a Canadian city, but this same customer was pleased with an Uber ridesharing program. Some cities have called into question the legiti-macy of these ridesharing programs and banned the service altogether.

I did some poking around on the Uber web-site. All that was required to sign up as an Uber driv-er was a 4-door vehicle (2005 or newer), drivers licence, insurance, and registration. There was a 15 minute video I had to watch before I was given

access to the website. Before I could “go online” and start driving people around, the application required that I submit a copy of my licence, regis-tration, vehicle mechani-cal inspection, and proof of work eligibility. My cu-riosity was satisfi ed and I stopped my Uber driv-er application process at that point.

I looked on a website at what it would take to be-come a traditional taxi cab operator in Edmonton: age, driving experience, drivers abstract, and a criminal record back-ground check would all be taken into consideration among other things. I’m not a criminal. But if I was, and as long as I had all my paper work ready

to upload to the Uber dashboard, I could have been driving people to and fro in under an hour by my estimation (if I had a smartphone to access the app that is).

In this day and age I’ll stick to using a taxi ser-vice when I need a lift in a foreign city. I have no means of contacting Uber through their app. What I do have is the knowl-edge to operate a phone-book, so I can look up taxi companies that em-ploy professional drivers. If my phone is missing, lost, or dead, I can still fi nd (surprisingly enough) a payphone to make a call from. And if worst comes to worst, I’ll stand in the streets waving my arms until I can hail a taxi.

transatlantic liner St. Louis were seeking sanc-tuary from Nazi Germany. Canada refused to take them and the ship sailed back to Europe, where 254 would later die in concen-tration camps.

Their fate could have, no doubt, been avoided if Canada had not turned a blind eye to their plight.

Canada is not turning its back on these refugees coming across its borders now and all over the na-tion people are exhibiting kindness and compassion.

But in spite of this Canadian welcoming com-mittee, there exists a cer-tain amount of fear and suspicion, triggered, no doubt, by the Paris shoot-ings and, most recently, the horrible mass execu-tion that took place at sim-ple staff Christmas party in California.

And so the evil and the violence, like a malignant tumour grows silently and Canadians in spite of their desire to follow the golden rule and do onto others as they would have others do onto them, are left feel-ing more than just a little nervous.

In spite of the hatred and the horror that continues to rock the world, there is really no option but to do the right thing and to keep the faith that the light of goodness will obliterate the senseless acts of ter-rorism.

According to an Internet article, William Lyon Mackenzie King, who was prime minster of Canada at the time the ship car-rying the Jewish people sailed close to Halifax, wrote to Frederick Blair, who was the immigration offi cer at the time, saying he was considering the re-quest to take in the immi-

grants. However, Blair was strongly opposed, and, in the face of such opposi-tion, the prime minster did not pursue the issue further.

Interestingly, not every-one agreed with the im-migration minister or the prime minister’s decision. University of Toronto his-tory professor George Wrong petitioned King to grant sanctuary to the refugees and the non-Jew-ish German captain of the St. Louis, Capt. Gustav Shroeder.

Capt. Shroeder argued fi rst with the Cuban au-thorities, then those of neighbouring Caribbean countries and fi nally with American authorities to let the refugees land. There is no record of him lobbying Canada, but still he did

not give up on helping his Jewish passengers.

Steaming back toward Europe, he promised his passengers he wouldn’t return them to Nazi Germany, even going so far as to plan to run his ship aground on the English coast if no safe port could be found.

Promising not to take them back to Nazi Germany, the captain fi -nally found countries who waved a welcoming fl ag for desperate strangers. At the last moment, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Great Britain accepted the refugees and the boat landed its human cargo in Antwerp, Belgium.

However, as fate would have it, Belgium, France and the Netherlands were later taken over by Nazi

Germany. Many of the pas-sengers were taken away and put in concentration camps.

But, when the war was over, the captain and his kindness was not forgot-ten by the surviving Jewish passengers. These grateful people sent him money and food so he could sur-vive in a war torn and broken Germany. In 1957, two years before his death, the German government awarded him a medal for his services to those same passengers.

This history lesson is here to remind us that kindness, like evil, can be found in unexpected plac-es.

It is up to us to decide where we want to look and which one we want to focus on.


Jada Schatschneider has been selected to play on the hockey team representing Parkland Zone 4 at the 2016 Alberta Winter Games in Medicine Hat to be held Feb. 13 to 16.

Rimbey teen to represent Zone 4 in hockey at Alberta

Winter GamesThere is a good chance 14-year-old Jada Schatschneider will

spend at least part of next Valentine’s Day on skates on the ice proudly representing her zone at the Alberta Winter Games.

The Rimbey teen has been selected to play on the team representing Parkland Zone 4 at the 2016 Alberta Winter Games in Medicine Hat to be held Feb. 13 to 16.

The player rosters for the eight zone teams in the female competition, along with the staff for each team, were an-nounced on December 8. Teams were selected to represent each of the province’s zones including Sunny South, Big Country, Calgary, Parkland, Yellowhead/Blackgold, Edmonton, Northeast and Peace Country. Each team includes two goalies, six defense players and 12 forwards.

Approximately 600 players who were born between 2001 and 2004 attended zone selection camps held at locations across the province, December 4-6.

Schatschneider’s dad, Jason said his daughter did well at the tryouts even though she was battling the fl u at the time.

“Her evaluations were pretty strong,” he said.Schatschneider, who played much of her minor hockey in

Rimbey, now is a second year Bantam and plays defense for the Bantam Triple A hockey team in Red Deer. As a member of the team she is kept busy with two practices a week as well as dryland training. The team travels to Vauxall, Calgary and Grande Prairie to play and competition is stiff.

“It is the highest level of hockey for that age in Alberta,” said Jason.

Jada said she is excited about the prospect of competing in the Games and also a little nervous.

She says hockey is her favourite sport, but she also likes baseball and plays centre fi eld in the summer for the River City Hornets in Edmonton.

The Alberta Winter Games is a multi-sport event for devel-oping athletes, aged 11-17 years old. The Winter Games were fi rst hosted in 1976 in Banff, and occur each even-numbered year. The athletes are selected to represent the eight zones in Alberta in 20 sports such as hockey, badminton, gymnastics, skiing and skating.

Hockey Alberta coordinates the ice hockey portion of the Winter Games, as a core segment of its Development Program. The Winter Games provide players, coaches, trainers and referees an opportunity to discover the great qualities of competitive hockey starting with the zone camp and selection process, through to competing in the Games.

Amendments to the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act will assure farming families of their ability to pass on traditions to their

kids: the next generation of producers. That’s how this province was built.

The new legislation will not affect:

• purely family-owned and operated farm and ranch operations,

even if family members are paid,

• families’ ability to teach their children about farming and

farming traditions,

• kids’ participation in 4-H programs, or

• neighbours who volunteer to help each other out.

The new Act will reflect legislation in other provinces that:

• protects the safety of waged workers and helps prevent

workplace accidents, and

• compensates waged workers, or those workers’ families,

in case of disabling injury or death on the job.

Family farms continue to flourish in all other provinces with similar

legislation. Ours will too.

The Government of Alberta has amended Bill 6 to respond to farm families’ concerns.

Try to envision what North America looked like when there were an esti-mated 80 to 100 million free ranging buffalo before the invasion of the fi rst settlers that came to this country and destroyed most of them. The buffalo sadly disappeared like the Do-do bird.

In May of 1956 when I fi rst arrived in Ft. Chipewyan, I was totally amazed at how industrious the Aboriginal people were. They built their own fi shing boats for commercial fi shing, trapped, worked in saw-mills and also worked for

Wood Buffalo Park. They built their own homes and dug their own wells by hand. The reason that they were successful was that they never lost their land to early settlers and homesteaders.

That, however, changed in the last 50 years when the W.A.C. Bennett dam was built at the head wa-ters of the Peace River. It took years of holding the water back and there is now a reservoir 140 km long. This has a detrimen-tal effect on the Athabasca Delta and Wood Buffalo National Park.

1956 – 1965: I spent nine years working for Parks Canada in several capacities; labourer, park patrolman, boat captain, park warden and buffa-

Former park warden speaks outThe death of the Athabasca Delta

lo management offi cer. Buffalo management was a huge undertaking: build-ing holding corrals, testing facilities and a new camp. The buffalo were rounded up and tested for brucello-sis and T.B. We also man-aged anthrax control with C.W.S., using a 90 percent work force of aboriginal workers.

2007: Parks Canada laid off over 400 career park wardens. (big mistake)

1983: UNESCO designat-ed Athabasca as a World Heritage site.

1998: Indian chief chal-lenges federal government over damages to Indian Reserve 201 which was turned into a mud fl at from the water dropping 15 ft. Jim Prentice, Minister of Indian Affairs repre-

sented the government listening to the grievances.

It was determined that the federal government had a fi duciary responsi-bility to protect the treaty rights of the reserve. Also, the dam was built illegal-ly without a permit and it was determined that it contravened the National Parks Act.

A fi sh study was under-taken at the delta to de-termine if the fi sh were contaminated. It was de-termined that mercury and other chemicals were found in the fi sh tissue. The government banned commercial fishing in Lake Athabasca and is-sued a warning that eating the fi sh could be harm-ful, therefore, one should be limited to one fi sh per week.

Which came fi rst the ice age 10,000 years ago or the

oil sands? The oil sands were laid out, possibly, 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs became extinct, then, came the ice age. When the ice melted, it carved out the Athabasca River, along with the bitu-men deposits that now lay on the bottom of the delta. Therefore, environmental protesters have it wrong blaming the tar sands on the cancer deaths at Ft. Chipewyan.

Pulp Mills: Pulp mills have been dumping toxic waste including mercury and other cancer causing toxins into the river.

By lowering the water in the delta, sandbars were exposed causing numer-ous wildlife problems and health issues.

W.A.C. Bennett dam owned by BC hydro is not immune to lawsuits.

2013: State of California

sues Powerex, a subsidiary of BC Hydro as well as Enron Energy and 60 util-ity companies for raising rates to the tune of seven billion dollars. They were accused of engineering blackouts. Powerex paid a settlement of 750 million dollars.

I visited Ft. Chipewyan in March, 2015. I had a very interesting talk with a 78 year-old trapper. He advised me that there are no buffalo wintering at the delta.

MP Calkins urges Liberal

Government to act expeditiously

on the World Trade Organization COOL ruling

MP Calkins urges Liberal Government to act expedi-tiously on the World Trade Organization COOL ruling

December 9th, 2015, Ponoka, AB

Blaine Calkins, MP Red Deer - Lacombe issued the following statement regarding the World Trade Organization ruling in fa-vour of Canada.

“Country of Origin Labeling has cost farmers of Red Deer-Lacombe mil-lions in lost revenue, I was encouraged to see the WTO once again rule in Canada’s favour against the protec-tionist provisions of COOL” said Calkins.

Country Of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a requirement signed into American law under Title X of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (The Farm Bill) This law requires retailers to provide country-of-origin labeling for fresh beef, pork, and lamb. In September 2008 the United States Congress passed an expansion of the COOL requirements to include more food items such as fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables.

The World Trade Organization has granted Canada and Mexico the right to impose more than $1 billion in retaliatory tariffs against the United States following a seven year dispute over coun-try-of-origin labeling. “I urge the Minister of Agriculture to act expeditiously and in the best interest of farmers. Any delay in enforcing re-taliatory measures would be considered a grave betrayal to our agriculture industry” Calkins stated.

January 5 EditionDecember 28 at 12:00 noon

Depots set up for toy drop offs for family struck

by tragedyThe passing of a young

woman from Rimbey, who will be especially re-membered for her sunny and cheerful disposition, means three children and their dad will have a very sad Christmas this year.

Jill Bellows passed away suddenly on Dec. 2 at the age of 38 years.

She is survived by her husband, Darell and chil-dren, 11-year-old Grace and twin eight-year-old boys, Michael and Ryan.

She will also loving-

ly be remembered and missed by her sister, Kelly Hatala of Rimbey, her parents, Susan and Dale of Fredericton, New Brunswick, her pater-nal grandmother Doreen Barton of New Brunswick and her father-in-law George Bellows of Ponoka.

As well as her beloved family, Jill will be very much missed by her many friends in Rimbey.

“I have known her for years and she truly was a bright ray of sunshine,” said Cali Stuart.

As with all who knew

Jill, Stuart’s heart goes out to her family who will have to get through the holiday season without their beloved wife and mother.

She is encouraging the public to drop off Christmas gifts for the children at drop off de-pots set up at Main Street Bookkeeping and Games On Outdoors.

“Maybe we can help their Christmas be a little brighter,” she said. “As a kid, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to lose your mother.”

We have had two meetings since my last report. Our club fundraiser was selling bird seed and live Christmas wreaths. Special thanks to everyone who supported our club.

On November 4 our club and other 4-H clubs wore their 4-H colors and even wore them at school!

For our outdoors activities we went to the Edmonton Valley Zoo to be a zookeeper for a day. We saw the world’s cutest animal in the world… THE RED PANDA. We also got to pet an armadillo, a

milk snake and last, but not least, a chinchilla. We fed monkeys and Meer cats. The food was cranber-ries and crickets and melee worms for the Meer cats

Winter Olympics was hosted at Battle Lake Center for district fun day. The games were ball throw, bail hurdling, cow races (I was the cow), next was javelin throw, salt block throw, tire rolling, and fi nal one was cow patty toss. Everyone from our club partici-pated in the Olympics.

We have a Christmas social coming up at Jack Willows place, with skating and activities. It will be fun.

Thank you for your loyal business & hope you enjoy the merriest holiday ever!

There is one strand of the twinkly red Christmas rope lights hanging around my garage door that refuses to light up.

The absence of lights on only one side of my garage looks decidedly weird.

The misadventures of hanging Christmas lights

Treena MielkeOn The Other Side

Being in the Christmas frame of mind where perfec-tion hadn’t yet been tarnished with reality and continued to glow like a perfect string of lights, I took it upon myself to make the problem go away.

With that thought in mind, I took myself off to the Christmas light store. Here I was to discover there are now about a zillion different kinds of Christmas lights to choose from. But, luckily for me, it seems a Christmas angel was smiling down on my harried, frantic self and there among all the icicles and twinkle starlights, I found it. One solitary box containing a strand of red rope lights.

I pushed my way through all the other people buying Christmas lights murmuring stuff like “sorry, I need that

box, I really need that one box. Merry Christmas, now get out of my way. Thank you.”

People looked at me sadly.“Whatever,” I said, using

body language to commu-nicate. Using such language seems to work for my young-est grandson, I reasoned.

Treasure in tow, I trotted up the steps and put the package by the front door so I could wait until it was almost dark and the temperature dropped enough so my fi ngers would be really cold and putting up the lights would be more of a challenge.

For some perverse reason, I seemed to like that idea.

Anyway, the appointed hour arrived. I walked outside, eyeballed the situation and decided I probably needed a

kitchen chair as opposed to a ladder to get the job done. About this time, putting up the lights rapidly deteriorated into a really bad thing.

The strands, it seemed, were apparently stuck togeth-er with crazy glue. Finally, I was overcome with some kind of super hero strength that can only come to peo-ple standing on tiptoe on a kitchen chair trying to put up Christmas lights.

I pulled the strands apart, almost falling off the chair as I did so.

Voila! The next step was to screw the new string of lights into place using my newly frozen fi ngers.

It was at this time I dis-covered that the new strand might look the same as the other strand I was trying to hook it into, but appearances

can be deceiving.It was not. The ends did

not fi t.I could say I climbed calmly

down from the chair, still in a happy Christmas frame of mind and went inside to cheerfully make supper.

But that would be a lie.In fact, I found myself dis-

solving into tears like a child who has just discovered the reporter who penned the fa-mous editorial, ‘Yes, Virginia There is a Santa’, was, in fact, only reporting his own version of the truth.

It took awhile, but fi nally I came to terms with my Christmas light fi asco. When I gave logic the reins and put emotion in the back seat until it could behave, I reminded myself how very lucky I am that I have the luxury of only being stressed over lights

that don’t fi t my picture of perfection.

Even shutting off the news and turning a blind eye to print media (please don’t do that), will not obliterate the fact sadness, heartache and violence are very real, very out there.

Refugees, who will, for the fi rst time ever, celebrate Christmas on foreign soil. Layoffs that seem to be more the rule than the exception. Senseless shootings that are becoming more and more fre-quent. Dear friends who will be found on Christmas Day, cloistering around a hospital bed as their loved one goes through yet another round of chemo.

Christmas! It’s all about per-spective and being grateful! Really, it’s no different than any other time of year.


We hope your holiday is

perfect in every way.Thank you for your loyal support

When Christmas is a traumatic memory, the season can be painful

When Christmas is a Traumatic MemoryTis the season all right.As a social worker who sees many separated parents

in dispute about the care of their children between them, Christmas time is a busy and confl ict laden time of year.

Referrals are always up and service is most frequent-ly for help determining the residential schedule over Christmas. The money that was to go for gift giving is shared between the lawyers and myself or my col-leagues as we see parents in confl ict fi gure out how and when the children‚s time with them will be divvied up. Not only are we busy, but so too the court system as parents fi le what they believe to be emergency motions seeking the Judge to make a decree of a solution.

For most, a judge‚s decree or an agreement reached through mediation or collaborative law or lawyer as-sisted negotiation will be suffi cient to help the parents manage the time. For others confl ict will still erupt on

the holiday, very often Christmas day itself.I will return to my offi ce after a few days away to listen

to messages and read emails with one parents blasting about the other parent, police involvement, need for contempt orders and abject hatred about the untrust-worthy other. Often I will receive emails from both par-ents saying essentially the same thing albeit with some nuances to the details so that all blame is ascribed to the other. Rarely though do I hear about the impact of these events on the children. That actually comes much later.

Apart from the frequent behavioral, mental health and academic diffi culties these children surface with along the way, come adulthood I am visited by these then adult children with their new partner in tow.

They come because this now adult child needs help to explain to the new partner why they don‚t want to celebrate Christmas or why they don‚t want to visit any parents on Christmas.

Given their traumatic experiences of Christmas in childhood, who could blame them. Anxiety about Christmas still grips them. From their perspective, Christmas is dangerous and hence something to be

avoided. This, by the way, is not only an outcome for children of high confl ict separated parents, but also seen in intact families where domestic violence is a factor and in families where parental alcoholism is a factor or in families where there is signifi cant parental confl ict, and/or abuse or neglect of the children.

Christmas isn’t‚t the Hallmark memory for many and for them, the Christmas season is a frightful and in view of the positive experiences of others, even a confusing time of year.

This year, be mindful that your partner, your friend, your colleague, your neighbor, may not be relying on the same memories as you this season.

If someone feels or looks at odds please appreciate that their recollections at this time of year may be trau-matic. Don‚t push, don‚t argue. Support and appreciate we have different childhood experiences that color our view of the season and our reaction to it. Perhaps offer them a good experience.

Be kind. Be gentle. Be understanding. Be accepting. Be generous of spirit. Help build new memories from hence forward.

Community dinner shows true

Christmas spiritAnd so this is Christmas.A table laden with a feast

fi t for a king, a background of laughter and friendly banter, music, many hands ready to help, guests receiving gifts, and above all, a shared spirit of camaraderie and friendship.

It truly does portray the real meaning of Christmas.

The community Christmas dinner in Rimbey promises all this and more.

This year, the event is to be held at the Rimbey Drop In Centre at 2 p.m. on Christmas Day, said one of the orga-nizers Gayle Rondeel. The master of ceremonies for the event will be Dave Davies.

As well as a delicious meal there will be games

and music and a chance to socialize for everyone.

“It promises to be a fun event and so many people always step forward to help out,” said Rondeel. “Last year it went really well. We had about 70 people and the cooks, kitchen help and other volunteers all enjoyed the lovely dinner along with everyone else.”

“It was really overwhelm-ing, the amount of support and help we received,” she said. “And I expect this year will be no different.”

Rondeel said volunteers are planning for around a hundred people to attend the event.

“Every year we get a few more. And there is always awesome leftovers to take home.”

On December 3, Marg Martin presented a BMO Volunteer Grants Program cheque to Bentley Museum vice chair Betty Kubista, chair Cora Knutson, and director Joyce MacKinnon. In the background is the Peterson family banner presented earlier to the museum by Martin.

Once again the Bentley Museum has received a gracious funding donation through the BMO Volunteer Grants Program. It is a pro-gram that bank employees or former bank employees can request funding from to help out community projects they are interest-ed in.

Marg Martin, a former employee of the Bank of Montreal, delivered a cheque for $1,050.00 to the Bentley museum board on December 3. Martin ex-plained the amount given to community projects is dependent on how many apply and that she can apply every other year.

The presentation this year took place in front of the Centennial Peterson historical family banner

that Martin had donat-ed to the museum earlier this year that is on display in the museum’s newest building.

On hand to accept the cheque were chair Cora Knutson, vice chair Betty Kubista, and director Joyce MacKinnon. The funding this time has been ear-marked to go towards the cost of more walking tour plaques.

Over the years, Marg has regularly applied for and received funding to help out the local museum.

The museum received $300 in 1995, $500 in 1996, $800 in 1998, $1,150 in 2000, another $1,050 in 2004, $1,000 in 2007, $800 in 2009, $1,000 in 2011, $1,000 in 2013, and now this.

Museum executive are Chairperson Cora Knutson, Vice Chair Betty Kubista,

Treasurer Mary Carver, and Secretary Kristin Dickau. Directors include Ralph Scarlett, Joyce MacKinnon, Wes Lowry, Diana Garries, Sandy Noble, and Director/Historian is Lorraine Connelly. They were set at the museum’s regular November meeting follow-ing the October AGM.

Dedicated volunteers continue to hold work bees at the Bentley Museum on most Wednesday morn-ings. Anyone interested is welcome to drop in.

“We are always looking for new volunteers and/or board members. Fresh, new ideas for presenting our museum are always welcome,” stated Kubista.

Tours or a special visit can be arranged by call-ing Cora at 402-748-2455 or Betty at 403-748-2744. Admission is always free.

Bluffton 4-H Club well underwayOur club has been busy. This year our president

is Erin Burrage, Tina VonGunten is vice president and Mackenzie Skeels is secretary. Leah Trenson is the treasurer, Sylvia Trautman is club reporter, Ben Boyce is parlimentarian. Also the historians are Josie Burrage and Katie Hudson.

Our senior district rep is Sylvia Trautman and our junior district rep is Tim Trenson. It is also exciting to have Ben Trenson as our Ambassador. We are happy to have Marian Johnson as our leader again, along with Adrea Falt and Danny Skeels as assistant leaders. Steven Boyce is our Cleaver leader.

Weigh in was held on October 18 at the Bluffton Vet Clinic. At weigh-in we had many market steers, heifers and carcass steers. The calves looked great. Everyone is busy working with all their projects, pre-paring for our show and sale in May.

On October 25 we had two judging classes. The fi rst class we judged was beef steers. The second class was Holstein Heifers. Most of us found the Holstein Heifers to be a challenge, but it was great

practice. Thank you to Markus Hehli for teaching us about Holsteins and letting us judge his heifers. Marian also showed us what body scoring was on a cow and how to tell what score she had. Body scoring is represented with a number from one to fi ve representing how much fat the cow is carrying by the feel of her. The cow we used had a score of about three meaning there is some cover and a little degree of fat on the tail head and the short ribs can only be felt with fi rm pressure. To fi nish the day off we played a game of kickball. Thanks everyone for the delicious snacks!

On November 8 we had bingo at the Rimbey Manor. Everyone seemed to enjoy playing. It was great to see all the residents having fun and enjoy playing bingo with us. There was lots of great snacks and it was awesome to have conversations with some of the residents. Congrats to the lucky winners!

Most of our families attended the CFR in Edmonton with the Rimbey and Winfi eld clubs, and enjoyed many events such as steer wrestling, barrel racing, and bull riding .Everyone who went enjoyed the show! It was especially exciting to see our local calf

roper Dean Edge compete and win his event during the evening.

At our last meeting we enjoyed a Chinese gift exchange. It was lots of fun and there were many exciting gifts. Blankets, board games, candy, and hot chocolate were among some of the prizes. We also had our public speaking workshop, which was espe-cially helpful for the new members.

On December 6 many members from our district enjoyed a bowling fun day at the bowling alley in Rimbey. We all played two games of bowling and played other games while we waited our turn; such as pool, air hockey, and an assortment of board games. It was great to see familiar faces that I had not seen in a while!

We are getting ready for many upcoming events such as our tobogganing party, December 27th and Bull Congress on January 23 and many more exciting events.

Good luck to everyone on public speaking on January 9! Hope everyone’s holidays are fi lled with lots of friends, family and Christmas cheer.

Merry Christmas!

Bentley school

remembers seniors

The Bentley school is again running a ‘Gifts For Grandparents’ program.

School students who wished to participate donated items into a collection box by the elementary school offi ce door until December 7.

Items included things like candy, books, slippers, puz-zles, personal hygiene items, blankets, socks, gloves, cookies, nuts, lotions, and some fun items. Gift pack-ages will be made up with a variety of items in them.

Before Christmas, deliveries will be made to local seniors in the Care Center, Oxford Courts, Westview Apartments and other individual specifi ed places to help give a lift to the tenants. Students will help with the distribution part, too.

The Bentley school has locally run the program de-signed by the Family Service Bureau for the last three years to help brighten someone’s day and give back to the community.

With best wishes & thanks to all our valued customers on the holidays.

The holiday season is a busy time for most. There is so much to do, attend and plan, which can bring up feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, and de-pressed. This is also a time where people may feel acutely aware of the void left by the loss of a loved one, and their own per-sonal loneliness.

Who is affected?Holiday depression, anxiety and stress can

affect anyone at any age. Sometimes, these feelings are triggered by a specifi c event or life experience. There are many things happening around the holidays that can act as triggers.

What can I do about this?Holiday depression, stress, anxiety can

be managed by following the tips. Many people who experience depression, anxiety and stress during the holidays may think that they should just be able to ‘get over it’ on their own. Others may need time to recognize how deeply this affects their life. If your holiday depression, anxiety or stress seems severe or is interfering with your job or home life, talk to your doctor.

Many people’s benefi t plans run January to December. It could be benefi cial to check into your plan before the end of the year so you can use sessions before they expire.

How can I help a loved one?Supporting a loved one who is experienc-

ing holiday depression, anxiety or stress can be diffi cult. You may not understand why your loved one feels or acts a certain way. Some people who experience this feel like they have to do things a certain way or avoid things or situations, and this can create frustration or confl ict with others. You may feel pressured to take part in these behaviours or adjust your own behaviours to protect or avoid upsetting a loved one. Support can be a delicate balance, but you should expect recovery—in time.

Here are some general tips:• Ask your loved one how you can help

them.• Be patient—learning and practising new

coping strategies takes time.• If your loved one is learning new skills,

offer to help them practice.• Listen and offer support, but avoid push-

ing unwanted advice.• Set boundaries and seek support for

yourself, if needed.Here are some of the most common holiday

triggers and tips to prevent and/or lessen holiday depression, anxiety and stress. Remember, you always have a choice and there are options available to you. We wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season.

8 Tips for Mental Wellness During the Holidays

1. BudgetThere are many expenses during the

holidays. Whether you are buying presents, food, or travelling, you may get in the habit of overextending themselves.• Plan your budget in advance of the hol-

iday season.• Only spend cash or debit.• Host a Secret Santa! Buy one gift for your

group of friends or family.2. FamilyNot everyone in a family gets along, and

sometimes there are personality confl icts. Family members may try guilt trips or push boundaries and you may feel obligated to do things that you don’t want to.• Be realistic about what you can and

cannot do.• Set boundaries with your family and

communicate them.• Stay one night at your family’s house,

not a whole weekend or choose one family to visit each holiday instead of trying see and please everyone. Visiting friends? Stay for a couple hours instead

of a whole day!3. OverindulgingDuring the winter months, our activity

levels slow down and there are many oppor-tunities to eat rich food and alcohol which can lead to feelings of guilt or shame.• When you plan your holiday schedule,

allow yourself opportunities to get active.• Be gentle with yourself and understand

that your goal is to limit consumption or inactivity, not eliminate it entirely.

4. Taking on too muchYou may have over-committed or expe-

rience unrealistic expectations during the holiday season.• Pace yourself. Do not take on more re-

sponsibilities than you can handle.• Cut out the things that aren’t truly

important.• Make a list and prioritize the important

activities.• Decide on your limits and stick to them.• Let others share the responsibilities of

holiday tasks.5. Loneliness and IsolationLoneliness and Isolation can be a concern

for many people during the holidays.• Pick up a winter hobby or join a group.

This will give you planned interactions.• Volunteer with a local non-profi t. It is

humbling, and rewarding. You may just make some new friends!

• Keep on the lookout for free holiday activities happening in your community.

• If you know that you have a tough time during this season, tell people to check up on you.

6. LossThe holidays can be a reminder of the loss

of a loved one.• Acknowledge that this holiday season

won’t be the same.• This is an opportunity to create new

traditions as a way to keep your loved

one’s memory alive. Did your loved one care about a certain cause? What were their interests? Incorporate these things into your new holiday traditions.

• Spend time with supportive and caring people who understand what you are experiencing.

7. Seasonal Affective DisorderSeasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type

of depression that’s related to changes in seasons. The symptoms include tiredness, depression, mood changes, irritability, trou-ble concentrating, body aches, insomnia, de-creased interest in activities, and overeating.• Treatment for SAD may include light

therapy (phototherapy), psychotherapy and medications.

• Speak to a mental health professional in your community about the options available to you.

8. Year-End Refl ectionAs the year comes to a close, many of us

are refl ecting on what has changed, or stayed the same. It is important to be grateful and gentle with yourself. Take stock of things that are going well, or that you have done well. When we always look at what we don’t have we forget to be grateful for what we do have.• Give yourself credit.• Look to the future with optimism.• Don’t set New Year’s resolutions as they

put unnecessary pressure on you. If you want to make a resolution to change something, start today. There isn’t a date that defi nes your choices.

For the month of November the members and the Cleaver Kids got the pleasure of having guest speakers at their meeting.

The members had a judging work-shop after the meeting, followed with their projects. Riley Sharp, a former 4-Her with lots of judging experience came to tell them the do’s and don’ts of judging.

Everyone received their project books and discussed the budget for this year. Sewing members started mak-ing pillow cases from their own fab-rics. Woodworking members are get-ting experience with basic hand tools, and learning to build a tractor out of wood. The experienced members are working on more advanced skills with power tools. The Small Engines members started identifying parts of an engine. Sheep members went to

the Gull Lake Veterinary Clinic for a bio-security workshop. Veterinary Science started looking at the basic structures of cells in a body, and how they work together.

The Cleavers had two guest speakers, Jen Blaire, and Mark Cutts. Jen Blaire is an Agricultural Reporter for the Alberta Farmer. She came to explain what it takes to be an Agricultural Reporter, and showed us that you don’t have to live on a farm to love agriculture. Mark Cutts came to teach about different types of soil. He also taught members about water fi ltration in sand, soil, and clay. The Cleavers were then given a tour of Stamm Dairy. “We got see how they robotically milked cows,” one of the excited kids said later.

So, overall, it was tons of fun for everyone! We are looking forward to the next events, including the Public Speaking Workshop and the Christmas Party!

RHS students travel to Cuba to

SCUBA diveDuring the second week

of November, 18 students and 4 chaperones from Rimbey Jr/Sr High traveled to Cuba to do some open water diving, in order to complete their open water diver certifi cation. This is the 6th such trip the school has taken, with the fi rst being to Victoria, B.C back in 2009 and all subsequent trips to the tropics, where the water is clear and warm.

The trip and the open water dives are the third part to the certifi cation process. The students must fi rst complete the theory portion of the PADI (professional association of diving instructors) div-

ing course, which for the fi rst time this year, was done online. The second portion of the course was done in the pool in Ponoka, where students learned a set of 20 stan-dard skills, that they were tested on again during our dives in Cuba.

Once again, we were pleased to see all students pass their skills require-ment and become certi-fi ed. On some trips, we have students who had been certifi ed on a previ-ous trip, who then pur-sue an “advanced” open water certifi cation. On this trip, we had two such students. These students completed a different on-line course, which includ-ed sections on advanced buoyancy control, naviga-

tion, current diving, night diving and deep diving, and completed a different set of dives. The country of Cuba was beautiful and the diving spectacular.
