Watching: Snowy Owls are a fairly common sight this winter. These birds spend the summer on the tundra and some birds migrate to the prairie regions of Alberta and Saskatchewan for the winter, where they select a vantage point, such as a utility pole, to watch for prey.

Christmas dinner draws around 70 peopleGayle Rondeel’s
Christmas began at 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 25 when she put a ham in the oven in preparation for a meal that would eventually feed around 70 people.
At around 8 a.m. Rondeel headed over the Rimbey Drop In Centre to see how plans were coming along for the Christmas dinner to be served later that af-ternoon.
This year as in the past, Rondeel and her trusty crew of volunteers worked very hard to make Christmas a special day for people who might otherwise end up spending the holiday alone. Thanks the selfl ess caring of about a dozen volunteers the Christmas dinner this year was once again a huge success.
“It went really well,” Rondeel said.
Rondeel has no prob-lem with spending her Christmas Day volunteer-ing for the annual dinner and not being home with
Community rallies to help family whose
home was destroyed by fi re
A house fi re that completely destroyed the home and possessions of a young couple and their two children who lived east of Hoadley has left the family emotionally shaken, but forever grateful they escaped the blaze safely.
“It was the worst phone call I have ever got,” said Jody Mayen as she recalled the night the home of her daughter Rae-anne, son-in-law Sheldon Thompson and grand-children, two-year-old Milo and one-year-old Saige was destroyed.
The sound of the fi re alarm going off in the wee hours of Dec. 24 woke Rae-anne who discovered the porch of their home was on fi re. Rae-anne and her husband and their two wee children quickly escaped from the burning building, called the fi re department and waited in the safety of a warm vehicle.
As she watched her home go up in fl ames, Rae-anne called her mom, Jody who lives about a half an hour away and from that moment on, for Jody and her husband sleep was out of the question.
The fi re, which had forced the family out of their home, meant the Christmas
they had expected to have was no longer a reality. However, once word got out that the fi re had destroyed their home and possessions, community spirit took over.
“They have been completely overwhelmed by people,” said Mayen. “The generosity with fi nancial aide, clothing and household items has been amazing. They are very grateful.”
And while she said the fi re certainly took its toll and the loss means the family will have to rebuild and start over, Christmas was not without its blessings.
“It’s the most thankful Christmas we’ve ever had,” she said. “We were all here, we were all together. You can replace stuff.”
A benefi t potluck supper and silent auc-tion will be held at Liberty Hall on Jan. 9 at 6 p.m. to help the family. For donations or for more information call Helen at 403-505-7876.
Helen Karlstrom said the community wants to help as much as possible and are pulling together to make it happen.
“If was your own kids, you would want to do something for them,” she said.
Donations can also be made at Bluffton City General Store, she added.
Rimbey fi re chief John Weisgerber said the cause of the fi re is yet to be determined.

her family.“It’s just really enjoyable,”
she said. “It’s fun preparing it, fun eating it and just being part of the whole thing.”
Rondeel’s husband and son also join in by help-ing out and later come by
to enjoy Christmas dinner with the rest of the crowd. After Christmas the family went to Calgary to visit the older boys.
Rondeel said the crowd in attendance was about the same as last year and fi ve dinners were delivered to
shut ins.Unfortunately, she noted
there was less donations of money and food this year for the annual event.
“However, we had some good donations that pulled us through at the end,” she said.

WHITEHORSE, Yukon/Troy Media/ – It’s easy to feel good watching the footage of the fi rst Syrian refugee families arriving in Canada to cheers. It’s especially fi tting for the holidays – a reminder of Canadian generosity in the season of giving.
But these images thinly veil the ongoing con-fl ict in the Middle East that has turned these families into refugees. As good as we may feel for having opened our doors, their arrival is a reminder that, although we may accept them as refugees to our country, we did not protect them as citizens in their own.
It’s been fi ve years since the Syrian War began. That confl ict has morphed into a hodgepodge of proxy battles, spawning mil-lions of refugees. Today, the “migrant crisis” is such a headliner that we seldom think about
the war that precipitated it. But addressing the migrant crisis alone won’t end the confl ict. You can’t cure a disease by treating its symptoms.
We’ve inadvertently allowed our zeal to help refugees to serve as an excuse for military in-action. It’s a familiar pattern. When bad things happen, we have a habit of trying to fi nd something to do about it without intervening militarily, even if that would be the most effec-tive (or only) way to solve the problem. We’ve developed a phobia of force that we can’t rec-oncile with our desire to act when atrocities occur, so we mollify our guilty consciences by sending “thoughts and prayers” and looking for benign ways to feel like we’re contributing.
Recall the 200 girls who Boko Haram kid-napped last year. People around the world stood with signs imploring the terrorists to #bringourgirlshome. For a week, we felt collec-tively empowered because we were respond-ing to this outrage. But the girls never came
home and we did nothing about it. Our drive to act was only as strong as the paper on which that hashtag was written.
To be sure, there is a more practical aspect to accepting refugees than holding up signs, but we can’t relocate the entire Syrian popula-tion. And even if we could, it wouldn’t end the confl ict. It would just export it to other places.
Part of the problem is that the war is half-way around the world. A massacre in Paris still means more to us than ongoing slaughter in Sinjar. We trumpet globalization as having eradicated the divide between “over there” and “here” and we speak of the global village – but when our fellow villagers are raped and killed, our weak drive to support them with anything but words exposes our hypocrisy. Our physical distance trumps our metaphorical proximity.
Aside from our masked tribalism, though, our inaction boils down to our avoidance of using the military at all costs.

Most readers will likely agree with me that I’m concerned about the vari-ety of violent crime going on recently. I don’t remem-ber any time when there have been so many bizarre incidents in so short a pe-riod of time.
Convenience store em-ployees Ricky Massin Cenabre and Karanpal Singh Bhangu were mur-dered Dec. 18 in apparent robberies. The three sus-pects in these murders, Laylin Delorme, 24, Colton Steinhauer, 27, and a 13 year old, were arrested the same day as the murders. It looks like suspects en-tered the convenience stores, robbed the places and then murdered the employees in cold blood.
So far, no real information about motivation has been released.
The biggest joke is the Alberta Federation of Labour immediately pip-ing up to blame working conditions for the murders, which is absolute horse dung. The murders oc-curred because somebody pulled a trigger; if there were more employees there, they’d be dead too.
I feel terrible for the fam-ilies of the victims; they truly are the forgotten people. If there was any real justice in the world, the cowardly shooters would be dead, and the convenience store workers would be alive and happy.
Then there was the in-sane Christmas day ram-
page which ended with RCMP shooting and killing a 37 year old lunatic in the Red Deer area. According to RCMP, the suspect in question attacked and raped a 47 year old woman and then seriously assault-ed a 20 year old man who was trying to protect the woman. After the assaults, the suspect fl ed and was later spotted in the Sylvan Lake area. Police pursued him and the suspect stole a piece of construction equipment and general-ly smashed up the area, including police vehicles. Police shot and killed the suspect west of Red Deer and judging by the sus-pect’s behaviour, he left police no choice.
I don’t think I have to
mention the amount of crime that’s been going on around the Wetaskiwin, Millet and Leduc areas. From young fellows going from house to house trying door knobs and then claim-ing they’re selling Xmas ornaments to a break and enter epidemic, maybe it’s just my imagination, but it just seems like there is a lot of crime going on. Readers would be inter-ested to know that both I and the reporter Amelia Naismith get all RCMP press releases from all over Alberta, and it seems there is an armed robbery or two every day somewhere and a never-ending stream of grainy, almost-useless se-curity photos of alleged perpetrators.
Firstly, I have some advice for those of you conducting the break and enter cam-paign. Please stop harming your neighbours. There are jobs out there and you’ll make more than you could ever hope to bank from selling stolen property.
Secondly, for the guys murdering and raping, here is some advice for you:

Christmas hamper
deliveries increase this year
Compassion and caring were wrapped within every Christmas food hamper that went out in Rimbey and the surrounding area this year.
Rimbey Food Bank coordinator Katherine Winters said 70 hampers were delivered this year, up signifi cantly from the 44 that were distributed last year.
“The need was greater this year but donations were fabulous,” she said. “A lot of people seem to realize the state of the economy and really came through.”
The hampers included a turkey and all the trimmings needed to make a delicious Christmas dinner. They also included gifts for the children and enough food to last a family for approximately fi ve days.
Due to the greater need for the hampers in the com-munity this year, Winters said there was some concern that the hampers may have to be smaller, but she said that fear was not realized and the hampers were the same size as usual.
The majority of the hampers were delivered by volun-teers on Dec. 22, but a few were handed out on Dec. 23.

At the meeting we discussed upcoming events such as our bot-tle drive on Jan.16; the club Christmas party on Dec.19; and upcoming
district events.After the meeting
Morena Stamm and David McTaggart both led a public speaking work-shop teaching us the main points of writing and presenting a speech.
The Cleavers built Lego cars and raced them with balloon power. This was followed by a judg-ing session led by John
Trenson and a public speaking presentation by Isabell Stamm.
To end the month we had a club Christmas party at Crestomere School with skating, sledding, a gift exchange, and snacks with hot chocolate.

JANUARY HIGHLIGHTSCAO Lucien Cloutier has resigned from position
The position of CAO for the Town of Rimbey is, once again, waiting to be fi lled.
Lucien Cloutier, who took over as Rimbey’s CAO July 2, is moving on.
In an email to the Review, Cloutier stat-ed he has accepted a new position.
“I have accepted a position with the City of Wetaskiwin as their Manager of Legislative Services. My last day working for the town will be January 16, 2015.
Cuban families leave Rimbey and move to United StatesOnly a few days ago, the family was
forced to pack up whatever belongings they could fi t into their vehicles and move on.
Madelin Sardina, Alex Suarez, Odofvany Rodriguez, Unia Garcia, Yoel Sosa and Jacqueline Coz, all from Cuba were em-ployed by Stan Cummings and Karen Conover from Best Western Rimstone Ridge Hotel. They came to Rimbey to work and to live as part of the temporary workers program.
They came in search of a better future, hoping to stay here forever.
However, what appeared to be a win/
win situation for the Cuban families and their employers, turned into a heart wrenching tale of dashed hopes, tears and, fi nally, the closure of one of Rimbey’s fi ne eateries.
Henry’s, the restaurant located at the Best Western, has closed its doors as its beloved chefs have fl ed the country, hop-ing to fi nd a safe haven across the borders where they can fi nally live in peace.
The families are now in the United States.
FEBRUARY HIGHLIGHTSStuart Lyster has never missed a Rimbey
cutter parade and this year was no excep-tion.
Last Saturday, he drove around the pa-rade route accompanied by his daughter Holly in their sleigh being led by a team of Belgian and Belgian Cross horses, Duke and Doc. Several school children rode on the sleigh in the parade and later father and daughter also gave rides in their sleigh.
Lyster said he thought this year’s cut-ter parade sponsored by Rimbey Sleigh Wagon and Saddle Club went well. He noted the parade was cancelled last year and believes it may have affected the turnout.
“It takes awhile to build things up,’ he said, “but there is still interest.”

Dear Editor,Am I the only one shaking my head at reading the letter
to the editor by Ray Barrette from Winfi eld in the Dec. 22, 2015 issue of the Rimbey Review?
I wonder if he realizes the consequences of mocking someone who was born on Dec. 25.
Edo Deweert,Rimbey

MARCH HIGHLIGHTSGreat support
shown for Bowl for Kids Sake event
The CWHL is comprised of professional teams from Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, Brampton and Boston and is the highest caliber of female hockey in North America.
The Bowl for Kids Sake event held last Sunday in Rimbey was a striking suc-cess with all participants having fun while donating fi nancially to a worthwhile cause.
Annette Peck, program director for Big Brothers Big Sisters said she was pleased with the event, adding she is grateful for the support re-ceived from the community.
“There are so many people in our area that want to sup-port children and youth and
make this day a success,” she said. “We had great support with 22 teams, wonderful sponsors, tons of prizes and delicious foods donated by local businesses. Not every-one dressed up, but ones that did looked very medieval.”
Bowl for Kids Sake raised more than $12,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rimbey.
CWHL championship
A Rimbey athlete is off to Markham, Ontario to compete in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League championship for the Clarkson Cup.
Camille Trautman, goal-ie for the Calgary Inferno Women’s Hockey Team said the team, who will compete in the tournament March 4 to 7, has a good chance to win.
“Right now we are tied with Montreal for second (in the league),” she said.
