YOUR WEEKLY
Both Knaus and staff at the Strathmore Municipal Library have kind of
kept an eye on the bench since it first
was presented to the building.
Were really disappointed because
we were so excited to have a beautiful
piece of public art in this building. The
lobby is pretty drab and its just really
nice to feature local artists and organizations in that space so we are very
disappointed but we hope it can find a
good home where it will be well cared
for, said Rachel Dick Hughes, director
of library services. We do continue to
feature art in the library and we will
continue that I think some people
just need better education on the value
of art and how to respect property that
other people have worked for.
Approximately two weeks after the
initial incident, Wanda Reinholdt, Hope
Bridges Society Coordinator, was in the
Lambert Centre and noticed the damage
to the bench was worse.
I almost fainted because there were
more pieces that were hanging, more
doilies that were hanging, and then
there was a couple that had been totally
ripped off and paint had been taken
with it, said Reinholdt.
Because of the damage the bench will
now be removed from its location, and
could end up somewhere where the
public wont be able to enjoy it as they
could at the Lambert Centre.
Reinholdt said it really is up to Jason
HEALTH ADVICE
Gord Morck
Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
Pharmacists are often asked Do I have to take this
drug forever?especially if the symptoms have
disappeared. Stopping some drugs abruptly can
cause health problems. If you have any questions
about one of your medications, our pharmacists
will give you the information you need.
There are people who still clean their ears out
with those cotton-tipped applicators. Not a good
idea! It could result in damage to the eardrum.
There are some good ear drops to remove ear wax.
Even using vegetable oil in the ear will help.
Did you know that pharmacists were involved in
formulating two of the most popular soft drinks
in the world? They are Canada Dry Ginger Ale
and Coca Cola. The ginger ale was called dry
because it had less sugar in it than other products.
It was a big seller during the U.S. Prohibition Era
because, used as a mixer, it made homemade booze
more palatable.
Want an easy source of fibre? Try figs. Five of
them (about 40 grams) contain 5 grams of fibre,
70% of which is insoluble fibre to provide bulk to
your bowels. The rest is soluble fibre which helps
lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and slows digestion
of carbohydrates to aid in stabilizing blood sugar.
Tasty too!
Ensuring enough fibre in your diet is a good
habit to get into. Another good habit is to use our
pharmacy for all your health needs. We welcome
you.

The Strathmore Childrens Choir Finale held a workshop that was instructed by Dave Mikuliak of Lethbridge on March 12 at the Strathmore United
Church. They worked on the song A New Day, which is capella based.

SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
This year, instead of all three choir groups attending the
Drumheller and District Music Festival, the Strathmore Childrens Choir opted to bring a clinician in for their choral
students.
Our oldest choir Finale will still be attending the Drumheller festival. Last year our adjudicator was able to come to
Strathmore to work with us as the weather had been so bad,
and it was such a positive experience for the choir members to sing for their families -when we drive to Drumheller
its more difficult for families to come and watch- that we
thought we would try this for a change this year, said Childrens Choir Director Loralee Laycock.
Dave Mikuliak came out to work with the Strathmore
Choir on March 12. He has been directing choirs of all age
levels for over 25 years, working in several school systems
and communities throughout southern Alberta.
I knew Dave years ago as a musical director of a play
that I was in, said Laycock. He is highly energetic, positive,
and in his words, believes in process over product. I felt

They had a mini multi judging clinic and practice, followed by make your own pizzas for lunch.
After lunch we had a horse bowl competition
with the team being asked questions from the 4-H
manual, we used a buzzer system which makes it
like a game show and a lot of fun.
The winners of the horse bowl where the team
of Emma Russian from the Stavely Club, Kate Darr
from Irricana and Payton Yule from the Standard
Club, Lyndsey Pearson and Matthew Wilbern both
from the Arrowwood Club.
We finished the day with a sundae bar. It was
a great, educationalday for the member and we
want to thank the Calgary Region for leading us
their buzzers and Wheatland Distict for funding
this event.

Dog-day afternoon
PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
Our family dog is named Brodie. Hes now
15-years-old and weve started calling him Grandpa. He doesnt move as fast as he used, and sometimes his back leg will slide out on him.
We thought it was because our new house has
hardwood floors, but weve been told by the vet
that his legs arent getting strong nervous signals,
so they give out. I bet hes thrilled to have a lot of
hardwood, so that he can basically feel like hes
learning to ice skate! We also have a set of fairly
steep stairs to the basement, and there are times
hell sit at the bottom, look up, then look sadly
bark at us. Weve decided being 90 in dog years,
has earned him to right to get some elevator carries up and down the stairs. When he does go up
on his own, he has to use both back legs hitting
at the same time to make it. Its like hes making
an assault on Everest, because he has to stop part
way, rest, and then carry on!
Actually, the only time has really has any energy,
is right after he takes a poop. For a few minutes,
hes like a pup again he sprints in, races around
for a few minutes, and looks quite happy (or is
that relief?). Right after hes done, I will never understand why he feels the need to circle back, and
smell the poop. Hes got to know its there, does
he really have to double check what else would
be there!?
He had a recent vet check up to see if his bladder crystals have returned. Luckily, he had a really
good visit, and the vet was thrilled at how good he
looks and acts for a 90-year-old dog.
She kind of tricked me, or at least it felt like it
to me! She moved down to his hindquarters, and
asked me to come down there and hold his hips.
Now, she had been testing all his joints for pain,
and signs of arthritis, so I thought itd be more of
the same. Oh no, then she uttered the words: Im

Staff Sgt. Kevin Reilly.
Motorcycles (are) more difficult to see, theyre in your blind
spots. Theres a number of different things that way just in
general that drivers have to be
more aware of.
Not that you shouldnt be
paying attention before but
theres a number of different
things that are now more prevalent on our roads for the next
six months. Be aware and slow
down.
Another issue Reilly has seen
in the mornings is people driving with their windows covered

How am I resilient?
Siksika Nation held a Family Community Creating Resiliency conference on March 6 at the Deerfoot Sportsplex in Siksika. On
hand to talk about how they experienced resiliency in their lives were Riley Good Eagle (l-r), Carly Weasel Child, Alicia Maguire
and UFA Bisons forward Trygve Many Guns.
On March 8th, 2015, we lost yet another decorated Veteran. You may or may not have known
him, but to his family he was extra-special. In December of this year, he would have been
100 years old. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for some 66 years: #264 and
#284.
Please help the Royal Canadian Legion and his family pay respect to Veteran Edward Carl Sten
of the Regina Rifle Regiment. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

Thank you to Brett Wilson and family for your continuing support of $2,000,
and to our local Walmart for another donation of $500. It takes all of your
donations, be it big or little, to keep the handi-bus running as smooth as it
does. Thank you!

stepped on the ice until now how productive the team has been.
It seems like it was yesterday when
they first came to Strathmore but it has
been a good run, said Randy. It seems
like weve been getting better quality
players all the time.
Another fan, who is well known
around the rink as Hogie, has noticed
the year-by-year change with hockey
and has noticed how the Bisons have
benefitted from it.
The way things have changed over
the years, with better skaters, shooters
and bigger kids has been great, said
Hogie.
He has been a big supporter of the
town and caught on to the hockey
scene fairly quickly here.
I love Strathmore, thats why I moved
here and support the teams, said Hogie. You see the same people, a lot of
friends made here and its a great feeling.
His favourite moment was the fiveovertime game back in the 2004-2005
season and his favourite players were
Mason Raymond and Dan Bertram.

The Strathmore Ringette Association proudly hosted the U12B provincial championship

The Rockyford Ringers U16B ringette team defended their provincial title for the third straight
season in Fort Saskatchewan on March 15.
I think we should be very proud of the accomplishment. Weve got nine kids on the team
and who comes out to play is who is on the
team, said team manager Fiona Elder. It went
very well, they won all of their games through
the round robin, quarter and semi finals so it
was good.
The efforts were consistent throughout the
tournament in all the games.
In their first game, they were down by one
with nine seconds left in the game, they tied it
up, it went into overtime and they won it in the
five minute sudden death overtime, said Elder.
What has made this run special is that it has
been the same group of girls that have been together on this streak.
Typically its every second year because of
the age group, but this the same group that
had to move up last year and combine two age
groups to make a team. Eight of the girls have
played together for the last three years, said Elder. Last year we had two that joined up and
those two moved up to another team this year.

know we lost that last game but weve been playing good hockey and deserve to be there, said
head coach Devin Olson.
Olson is not too concerned with how they stack
up against the competition.
Our first game is against Taber which we handled pretty easily this year and then Red Deer
Elks is the next team we play and theyll be pretty
good, said Olson.
The top team out of Calgary, weve played
once and we beat them 1-0. Weve played Peace
River and thats our other game, like just in the
past northern teams arent as good as our (south
teams).
He is not wanting to change the match ups too
much and go with the strategy that has been implemented all year.
Weve been playing well, the guys are finally
clicking on how we want everything set up and
done. Well get to play a minimum of four games
so the more we can work on perfecting a lot of
that helps finishing, said Olson.
Olson added that the keys to success will be
shooting the puck frequently and playing keeping
the shifts short.
The Chiefs opened up against Taber (9:15 a.m.)
on March 20 in Red Deer while the second game
will be the same day against the Red Deer Elks
(4:30 p.m.). For more schedule information, log

The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks senior boys basketball team learned how
to play high-end basketball at zones in
Okotoks on March 13-14.
Coach Tony Irving was impressed
with what his boys were able to accomplish as an eighth seeded team.
We went to zones being seeded
eighth, which meant we had to play the
first place team, which is St. Josephs
out of Brooks. They were a tough team
to play against because theyre incredibly fast and really quick with their
hands, and also theyre ranked fifth in
the province, said Irving.
We held our own with them, we
were within eight points with about 20
minutes left to go in the game and just
too many steals in the offensive end
caused us a lot of difficulty in the end
of the game.
The boys were relegated to the consolation game because of a loss to
Drumheller, but ended off with a dominating victory.
We beat Three Hills in the consolation game by 20, he said.
Irving felt this was a real positive
note to end the season on.
I think so in terms of the fact that we

first game, the girls just couldnt get energized, but then they played really well
the rest of the tournament. We ended
up winning the consolation side, so we
took fifth overall, said coach Deanna
Sample.
Definitely the highlight of the season was the silver medal in the St. Joesphs tournament in Brooks.
Throughout the season, the offense
gained more points per game and the
fitness level helped get them through
games.
We went from averaging 20-25 per
game to closer to 40-50 points a game.
Overall, our passing and strength and
conditioning got better, said Sample.
She also thought the level of play
came a long way as the year went along,
as well as the teams ability to adapt to
the plays on the fly.

The Strathmore Storm atom A team went 2-2-1 in provincials from March
12-15 in Edson. The boys would lose to the St. Paul Canadiens in the final
5-4.
The Gleichen Figure Skating and CanSkate club held their year-end carnival
on March 14. All the skaters did a faboulous job performing to the songs
of Frozen.
The Gleichen Figure Skating and Canskate programs saw a decrease in participation this season
with many skaters going to Strathmore to skate
in a bigger club.
I think thats something we got to work on,
this year has probably been the first weve had
dwindling numbers, said Brown.
The skaters who are still participating in Gleichen are the ones that have kept the club running
this season.
We have quite a few young Starskaters coming up, so wed like to keep the club going, said
Denise Brown, the clubs treasurer.

championship series in the
AMBHL.
Locals Lucas Muenchrath,
Joel Krahenbil, Cole Clayton,
Tyler Strath and Kelton Travis have all made an impact
for the triple-A bantam team.
Raiders head coach Mickey
Kluner has seen something
very unique about each of
these players.
Forward Lucas Muenchrath
made the team on his second
year of tryouts. He has been
a regular contributor, brings
good size and strength to the
table. Hes a great kid, definitely has a bright future and
some big hockey left in him
for this upcoming series,
said Kluner. From a standpoint, hes not one of our top
three or four guys but hes
been consistently involved
in terms of production, reliability. Hes definitely got
the skill set to be a top six
scorer.
He admits maturity has
made a big difference in
Muenchraths game.
The maturity of being a
second year, he grew a little
more, a good sized kid, his

Words cannot express the love we felt during Tonys illness and passing. The caring of his family, friends and community was far beyond our expectations. Our gratitude goes
out to Dr. Emile Muller, the wonderful staff at the Strathmore Hospital and to the Van Bussel family at Wheatland
Funeral Home.
Our thanks to Father Wojciech, Deacon Roger and the
Sacred Heart Choir who made Tonys celebration of
life so special, along with the ladies of the CWL who
served such a lovely lunch. Thank you to all those that
sent flowers, food, Mass cards and condolences and

Each and every gesture was fully appreciated. We are left

There are various theories as to the origin of the word honeymoon. One such theory
suggests the word traces its origins to the Old English phrase hony moone, which suggests the
honeymoon was initially steeped in cynicism. Hony is a reference to honey and, the theory
suggests, refers to the strong feelings of affection and sweetness newly married couples harbor
and display for each other. However, moone is a reference to how fleeting this period of time is
and how it is likely to change as quickly as the moon changes. One rosier theory as to the origin
of the word honeymoon suggests the word dates back to the fifth century, when calendars were
based on the moon cycle. During this period, newly married couples drank mead (which accounts
for the honey) throughout their first month of marriage (or for a full cycle of the moon), as
mead was a beverage many believed to be an aphrodisiac.

Popular and modern first dance songs
A couples first dance as man and wife is a cherished wedding tradition.
While the first dance can help set a positive tone for the reception, it also
can negatively impact the festivities if a poor song is chosen.
Couples may feel pressure to choose the perfect song. Yes, this is a song
that the couple has selected to represent their love for each other, but it
also should be one that will speak to the masses and can be thoroughly
enjoyed by all.
Couples want to avoid a song that does not seem to fit with the
festivities.
For those couples who need a little musical inspiration, turn to many of
the modern hits youre bound to hear on the radio which may help you to
Stylz
primarily for his soft rock and acoustic guitar work blended
with catchy lyrics. Also an accomplished
surfer, Johnsons work is enjoyed by many
but may be especially prized by couples
who want to their reception to be a laid
back affair full of fun and whimsy.
I Wont Give Up by Jason Mraz:
Another acoustic ditty, this song has a
country influence and talks about not
giving up and staying in a relationship for
the long haul.
I Dont Dance by Lee Brice:
Speaking of country influences, couples
who want a little twang in their first dances
can choose Brices breakthrough hit.
Romantic lyrics about spinning his partner
around in circles despite not liking to dance
illustrates what one partner will do for the
other when in love.
Couples can make that first moment on the dance floor a
special experience by choosing modern classics for their first
dances.

From a Sun-Kissed Glow to a Vibrant, Golden Tan - we can help you get it just right!
Congratulations, youre getting married.
We understand that planning for your wedding can be
a stressful, busy time. When you need a break from
it all, it is time to go tanning! Take a few minutes, a
couple of times a week, just for you - to work towards
the perfect tan for your wedding day.
Come in and talk with us about a package and
a schedule to get the perfect results you desire. For
those wishing a UV tan we recommend you start
early and tan slowly for best results. Dont let tan
lines ruin the look on your special day. We can help
you achieve an all-over tan that is honeymoon ready,
with traditional UV tanning or with our Mystic HD
sunless spray tanning. A Mystic HD sunless tan is
perfect for those who are looking for a cosmetic
color, and for those who are short on time. Or you

realize that this first quote can almost always be negotiated down. Inform
the vendor that you would really like to work with them but he or she needs
to lower the price. See if they can offer a different package or provide a
discount.
Negotiate the big-ticket items first. Discounts on big-ticket items, such
as the reception venue, will save you the most money. For example, you will
save more by getting 20 percent off at the catering hall than if you save 20
percent on your wedding gown. Once you free up extra money, you may find
you dont have to negotiate as hard with smaller vendors.
Walk away if need be. Always have a Plan B in place. This way if you
tell a vendor that their price is too expensive and you have to pass, you really
have a fall-back option. Some vendors will sweeten the deal, but others will
actually let you walk out the door. And remember, youre more likely to get
a better price by being amenable and well-mannered than making threats or
arguing.
Some deals arent actual discounts. A vendor may be able to work with
you by offering additional services in lieu of actually taking money off of
the price tag. Extra photo prints, a dessert bar and an extra hour of time in
the limousine may seem like great deals, but thats only the case if you truly
need these bonuses. Even if its a great deal, youre still spending more than
you had hoped.
Wedding prices can be overwhelming. However, negotiating for lower
prices is always an option for cost-conscious couples.
