Friends meeting friends, music and laughter, a de-lightful array of fresh produce, delicious baking, freshly popped kettle corn and homemade crafts are all part of the exciting scenario that has put Rimbey Farm-ers Market in a league of its own.
Mary Beckie, a professor at the facility of extension at the University of Alberta gives Rimbey’s market top marks as a quality, well-balanced market.
Beckie has worked on a study about farmer’s markets in British Columbia and Al-berta since 2008.
“We wanted to learn what it is that makes farmer’s markets so appealing,” she said.
The study included about 25 markets in central Al-berta. Rimbey’s market was visited in 2008 and 2011.
At that time, Beckie not-ed that Rimbey stood out as a strong community based market.
She attended the market again on July 26 and she wasn’t disappointed.
“It is lovely,” she said. “And they have a live band playing. How often do you see that?”
Beckie attributes Rim-
bey’s successful market to excellent leadership, a great location, and a strong rela-tionship with the community.

4 RIMBEY REVIEW Tuesday, August 4, 2015
I remember the first drive-in movie I ever saw as only a quick black and white flashback that has almost, but not quite, been lost in the quicksand of time.
It was the summer of ’63. My dad and I were driving down a dark ribbon of highway towards home.
Home wasn’t in the city, but in a tiny town where street lights played hide and seek in the shadows and a little white clapboard church in the centre of town boasted the warning or, per-haps, the suggestion, ‘Turn Back to Your Bible for the Answer.’
Anyway as we rounded the curves of Highway 11, there off in what seemed like a huge field, was this huge screen lit up with moving figures.
A drive-in movie.
Dear EditorThe Alberta Utilities Commission found
TransAlta guilty of manipulating power prices when it shut down its power plants in 2010. The market surveillance administrator, (MSA), claimed TransAlta profited $16 million from the shutdowns.
Political opposition party comments regard-ing this issue are not worth mentioning. Enmax’s comments however are worth noting. An Enmax spokesperson said, “The ruling demonstrates Alberta’s legislation and electricity market regu-lations do work.”
Since deregulation consumer electric utility bills have continually gone up, market manipula-tion (price-fixing) has been a constant problem
and this latest ruling does little to prevent or deter further manipulation by major industry players.
In 2010 TransAlta was fined $370,000 for obstructing electricity imports 31 times over eight days to increase prices. At that time it was estimated TransAlta profited millions. A $370,000 fine was nothing more than a cost of doing business.
Fast-forward to this week’s ruling. TransAlta could be fined $1 million dollars for each day they manipulated the market. However over the four occasions cited in the complaint — Trans-Alta profited $16 million. In conclusion, even if TransAlta receives the maximum fine, it’s a cost of doing business.
The dilemma confronting electricity con-
sumers can be summed up in one example. A consumer was billed .15 cents last month for electricity, (they left for holidays), and their total bill was greater than $108 when they returned. Enmax and TransAlta want consumers to focus on the price of .15 and not the total bill of $108.
The truth is manipulating electricity prices also elevates the extra charges on utility bills. What if consumers just wrote Enmax a cheque for the cost of energy (.15) and not the total bill. Would they still boast how well the market works?
It’s time this new government fixed this prob-lem.

Anglin wants government to deal with manipulation of power costs
My dad pulled over to the side of the highway and, from the safety of that old ’57 Chevy, we watched that movie free of charge.
O course, it was our own version of a silent movie, but, to me, a child, knee high to a grasshopper, it was like stepping onto the peripheral edge of a grown up world which I knew nothing about.
Probably, to my dad, the fact that watching a movie while parked on the side of the road cost nothing, was a matter of no little sig-nificance, but, for me, that wasn’t even in the equation!
I remember the softness of the night air, so warm and gentle it seemed you could wrap yourself in it, like a blanket. I remem-ber great clusters of stars
pinned to the sky with in-visible clothespins.
And I remember feeling good, like all was right with my world.
I thought about that very first drive in movie, the oth-er night when I was sitting in my daughter and son-in-law’s back yard watching Jurassic Park successfully shown with the benefit of a white sheet and a borrowed movie projector.
It was one of those nights of summer when time stood still in a good way.
The air was soft and warm, like a blanket you could wrap yourself in. Muted voices of adults and children drifted across the yard as people settled themselves in lawn chairs and swings. The younger
set sprawled on blankets and on the trampoline and a lovable dog with a severe overbite wandered about, his brown eyes about beg-ging popcorn and attention,
The delicate scent of wave petunias and sweet peas got all mixed up with the aroma of buttered pop-corn that wafted gently over the back yard.
For me, the tempta-tion of popcorn and red licorice quickly overruled any thoughts of counting calories and I grabbed a generous helping of both.
Settling myself in my lawn chair with a bag of buttered popcorn in one hand and a handful of lic-orices in the other, I was totally, deliciously happy.
And as the movie came on, I was once again trans-
ported to the night of long ago when I sat in an old Chevy with my dad on the side of a road and watched a few scenes from a black and white movie which we couldn’t even hear.
I ate my licorice and munched my popcorn and watched the light from the projector turn flying insects into fireflies. During very scary scenes I distracted myself by looking up at the night sky and the cluster of stars pinned there by invis-ible clothespins.
And, once again, thanks to good and simple things like backyard movies and family and friends and a dog with a huge overbite and summer nights, I felt the feeling, the good feel-ing, like, once again, all was right in my world.

A beautiful peacock owned by Mike Lee and Saskia Deman, who live in the Rimbey area, has flown its coop.
Deman said she and Lee had purchased two male peacocks about a year and a half ago, but the birds had escaped from their cage.
“We found one of them. He had ended up at our neighbors,” she said.
Reports that the other peacock had been spotted at Open Creek Dam leaves the couple hopeful that he, too, may be found.
“We love birds and the peacocks are so beautiful,” she said. “We would so love to have him back.”
Anyone who spots a pea-cock in the area is asked to call 403-963-1719.

My aunt called me one night, last spring, and said that her friend, Sid, was looking to buy a used mo-torcycle to ride when he visits Alberta. I sent the man I had never met a few local Kijiji ads that I found; before I knew it, I was road testing a retired preacher’s old motorcycle.
This was the beginning to my outlandish Sturgis motorcycle trip; and I was unaware that the motorcy-cle acquisition would lead me to start pencilling in paths, on the map, towards the Dakotas.

12 RIMBEY REVIEW Tuesday, August 4, 2015
continued from page 8
Sid was Alberta born and raised, but, a couple of de-cades ago, he (luckily) got the chance to permanently escape Canada’s eight month winters and move to Austra-lia. Although — living down under has its limitations when there are desires to ride mo-torcycles in North America: this was where I came in. I bought a retired preacher’s 1981 Suzuki GS1000G and agreed to get the old motor-cycle back in top running order for Sid, a man I had never met.
The Suzuki got some new spark plugs, a new clutch ca-ble, a new battery, and a new rear tire. These were minor repairs for the 70,000 kilo-metre-old motorcycle didn’t even leak oil while it sat in my back yard shed. After all the repairs were done, my aunt came down from Edmonton and trailered the Suzuki away. I never thought I would see that motorcycle again.
Sid arrived in Alberta last summer to enjoy the recently tuned-up old bike. I never had the chance to meet Sid; how-ever, over the course of the following fall and winters Sid and I began corresponding through Facebook. He was incredibly grateful for my mechanical capabilities, my haggling abilities, and apolo-gized for failing to meet me face to face. Sid’s gratitude was furthered by an invitation to ride with him to the 75th Sturgis motorcycle rally.
There was joyful travel talk, routes planned, and my permanent time off request from work was granted. Sid’s capricious request for me to join him on a month long motorcycle mission to Sturgis was solidified. There was still no meeting Sid though.
Eventually, after what I felt was a decade gone by, Sid arrived in Alberta again; but this time he was bound for Sturgis with me by his side. Sid arrived at my place in Rimbey on the ’81 Suzuki, shook my hand, I handed him back a whiskey, and the next day we left riding our motor-cycles to the United States.
After all this I shouldn’t say I have never met Sid. According to my aunt (who turns out to be Sid’s sister) I apparently met Sid at my uncle and aunt’s wedding when I was still a kid. There is an old photo in a wedding album taken of me. I remem-bered Sid exclaiming that he only had one shot left on his disposable camera; his directions to me were to “go do something crazy” — so I stood on my hands. That was how I met Sid.

The Meadow Vale School located near Rimbey which was operational from 1936 to 1957, has been torn down due to aging infrastructure and and vandalism. The fir hardwood floor, however, has been salvaged and will be used for a shop floor. Photo submitted
BY TREENA MIELKE
Meadow Vale School, operational from 1936 to 1957, was almost saved from demolition earlier, but, unfortunately, at the end of the day, reality dic-tated the building needed to be destroyed.
Due to its aging infra-structure and the work of vandals, the school, located 13 miles west of Rimbey on Hwy. 53, two miles north on Range Road 45 and another mile west on Town-ship Road 430 had become a safety hazard, said Saskia Deman.
Deman said her partner, Mike Lee had purchased the school from Lois Er-ickson, who owns the property, with the intention of moving it to his farm and turning it into a shop.
However, upon clos-er inspection it was determined there was no insulation in the walls and the ceiling was full of bird droppings.
“It is very dilapidated and we decided with the shape it was in, it would be too expensive to renovate,” said Deman.
She said Erickson agreed with the decision, noting the building had be-come a safety hazard.
Fortunately, the floor, which is made of fir hard-wood, was salvageable and has been moved in one piece with a flatbed trailer.
“It will be used as a floor for the new shop,” said Deman.
The demolition of the old school means former students such as 81-year-old Janet Stout will have only memories to keep the school alive.
Stout, one of seven Grundy children to attend the school, will, no doubt, do just that.
She said attending the school was an awesome ex-perience.
“It was a one-room school,” she said. “There was about 42 kids and the school went from grade one to nine. It was awesome to be in the same room with your siblings.”
Stout recalled her school days as being a time when life was very good.
“We walked two and a half miles to school and I brought my lunch in a Rog-ers syrup pail. Really, kids today are missing so much. We had so much fun. I
Meadow Vale School meets its demiseremember the huge Christ-mas concerts and sitting in that room with my siblings and my neighbours.”
The school was heated by a coal and wood stove which sat in the back of the room. The teacher lived in a nearby teacherage.
She recalled Ellen Hay-ward as her last teacher.
The school was later placed on a basement and the stove moved down-stairs.
Stout, who was pleased to learn the floor had been preserved, recalled attend-ing dances and box socials at the school. Her wedding shower was also held there.
“Memories, lots of memories,” she said.
Stout said a collection had been taken several years ago to buy boards to board up school windows which had been smashed by vandals. They also bought the metal sign which will remain on the property.
A few years ago she went inside the school with one of her brothers.
“The school looked so little,” she said. “How did we all fit in?”
Stout and her brother, Tommy wrote messages on the black board.
“We wrote how won-derful it was to come back.”

It was a group of seniors who crowded into the Rim-bey Drop In Centre on the afternoon of July 26, but
the enthusiasm, smiles and laughter that filled the room with electricity and life was ageless.
Amid the clink of metals and flash of cameras, there
were lots of hugs and con-gratulations as seniors took part in the medal presenta-tions for the creative writing and arts and crafts portion of the Alberta 55+ Summer
Games.Harry Tucker from
Rimbey struck gold with an acrylic pen he turned on his lathe.
He said he usually turn
Medal presentation held for arts and crafts and creative
writing at 55+ Gamesbowls on the lathe, but had given them all away, so he decided to enter a wooden and an acrylic pen in zones held earlier in Ponoka.
“I brought home the wooden pen as it only won third (in zones), but the acryl-ic pen won first and went on to Strathmore where it again won gold. Who would have thought a simple little pen like that would win gold?”
Barb Patey, also from Rimbey was pleasantly sur-prised with her silver medal for her quilted holiday craft entry.
“It was very simple,” she said. “Just a candle with a bit of decoration.”
Loreen Beggs from Stet-tler picked up three gold and a silver medal with her quilt-ing talents. She won gold for machine quilt, patchwork design, machine quilt, and appliqué and machine indi-vidual patchwork. She took a silver with her hand quilting.
The Stettler grandma was delighted with her win. Al-though she has won medals at the Games previously, she was surprised to do as well
as she did.“I wasn’t really expecting
that,” she said.Beggs, who admits quilt-
ing can become addictive, donated her quilts to chari-ties, and, of course, her family gets first dibs on the lovely handmade coverings.
“I enjoy it. I find it very relaxing,” she said.
Margit deGraff from Lacombe won gold with her non-fiction serious story, A Bicycle Called the Green Machine.
Brenda Restall from Rimbey won bronze with her poem, The Dance of Fire and also won a silver medal in the soft toys and dolls category.
Alvin Goetz from Rim-bey won a bronze with his non-fiction humorous story, Leroy Brownlee – Unsus-pecting millionaire.
Eileen Ensminger from Ponoka won gold in acrylic painting still life, silver in the mixed media arts category and watercolour still life. She won bronze with watercolour figure and bronze with water-colour floral.

to go to zones and beyond.The Bentley Panthers
Senior High Students won the Zone Supremacy Ban-ner award again this year for the top Central Alberta School in the 1A/2A school category that accumulates the most zone and provin-cial points for both girls
and boys in all high school sports throughout the year in which Bentley competes against 34 other 1A schools in Central Alberta.
The senior boys and girls competed at the golf zone championship with the girls winning the bronze medal.
The senior high cross-country team finished first at zones.
Senior boys volleyball finished first at their home tournament, second in their league and played at zones.
The senior girls basket-ball team finished second in league play while the senior
boys basketball team were undefeated in league play and were the league cham-pions and played at zones.
The boys and girls curl-ing teams represented the school at zones in Ponoka.
In team handball the se-nior boys finished second at zones.
Bentley high school excelled at sports again
The girls’ handball team finished second at zones and won a bronze medal at Provincials in Wainwright.
For the eighth con-secutive year the Bentley Panthers senior track team won the 1A/2A zones hosted in Red Deer with seven athletes competing in twelve events at Provin-cials in Lethbridge. They brought back five medals and finished second overall in the province.
At the school’s gradu-ation Lush said “all year I have asked these student athletes to do one thing: Leave their legacy behind for younger student athletes to follow. Not only were they great athletes, but they were servant leaders who volunteered to help run over ten tournaments this year.”
“It is said; a good leader is someone who gives back to others without looking for anything in return and that is exactly what these students have done.”
“They were a great group of kids to teach and coach,” he added.
