Sgt. Steve Vince, from the Strathmore RCMP,


updated council on policing efforts conducted by the RCMP as part of their contract to
the town and on the enhanced policing requested by council.
The bottom line is the nice part, the crime
statistics inside the municipality are down,
said Vince. They have been steadily declining for the last three years, both in persons
crime and in property crime.
The statistics given were for the first six
months of 2015. There were 940 calls, compared to 1140 from two years ago.
The enhanced traffic enforcement asked
for last year by council showed that the stats
are still high. They have issued approximately
70 tickets per month with a $13,000 income
from the tickets that goes to finance the policing effort. When stops indicate other criminal activity, the town is not charged for that
service.
The program is certainly worthwhile. Last
month we had a traffic stop that ended up
in a high speed pursuit that ended down by
Eagle Lake. It ended up apprehending someone who was wanted for multiple warrants in
Calgary, said Vince.
He said the search led to discovery of
three individuals involved in a human trafficking ring working in the sex trade in the
Strathmore area. The ladies were taken off
the street and put in more appropriate conditions. Two weeks ago $40,000 in cash was
taken off an ex-convict who was involved in
the human traffic trade.
Councillors were concerned about noise
complaints that they had from the public in
areas about town. However, Sgt. Vince said
that they only received 20 complaints, registered with them about Kinsman Park, in a six
month period and only four were noise related. Response time on non-emergency calls
show they respond 96 per cent of the time in
under 10 minutes. Vince said that there had
been some frustration with the centralized
dispatch system coming out of Red Deer as
they had noticed some delays in getting calls
to the detachment. Council asked if better
bylaws might give officers more enforcement
options; however, Vince said that they were a
tool, but not the primary service of the RCMP
and suggested that it might be more appropriately relate to duties of the town peace officer.

What a ride!
Twenty-five to 30 trail riders from the Siksika Nation and across southern Alberta gathered on
Siksika land on Sunday, Sept. 20, raising over $2,100 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation in the

Run like Terry Fox

Brentwood students broke out their artistic side, as part of their 35th
anniversary celebrations. They tin foiled the playground structures
to look like a giant spider web, catching otherworldly tinfoil insects.
The project was part of the Atomic 13 Ingenuity projects sponsored
by Beakerhead, which is a partnership of companies and the Alberta
government to encourage creativity and ingenuity.

Community runners gathered


at Strathmores Kinsmen Park
on Sept. 20, to register for the
Terry Fox Run. The runners
could do a five or 10 km run,
walk or roll and donate pledges
to the Terry Fox foundation.
This is the 35th anniversary of
Terry Foxs historic run. Wildrose MLA Derek Fildebrandt
leads off the race and addressed runners thanking them
for their worthwhile participation in the run.

Larger than life

Moving towards
water approval
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Wheatland Regional Water
Corporation got an interim
vote from Wheatland Council, to have consultants start
on plans for the water reservoir on Sept. 8.
Engineers need to know
something by the end of
September, in order to get
the reservoir up and full by
next year, said Reeve Glenn
Koester. If we wait, there
could be a potential delay in
startup of another year.
Koester said normally the
motion would be made in
principle at the meeting of
the whole (council organizational meeting) that takes
place in October and then
finalized in council later.
There was $150,000 previously committed to the project and Councilor Rex Harwood asked if the engineers
could be included under that
commitment, so work could
begin. Councilor Brenda

Knight said she felt the move


would be premature, as they
would not know what cost
the engineers would charge
and no guidelines had been
given to the engineers as to
what was expected to date.
Koester said council could
approve utilizing money
out of the $150,000, which
would be repaid through
grant money if the grant
were approved.
Sometimes we have made
decisions on issues that put
the chicken before the egg,
and this is just the other way
around, said Armstrong.
Council decided to amend
resolution 15-05-07, to include interim funding for
preliminary consultation for
the engineers, which will
aid in the grant process as
well.
Koester said final decisions would be made once
the grant approval is known.
If it is not approved, the
project may be dead anyway, said Koester.

Q: What is Cremation?
A: Cremation is the process of subjecting dead

human remains to direct flame and reducing


them to a powder-like substance that can be
buried or scattered. A crematorium reaches
temperatures of around 1600 C. This process
takes roughly 6 hours, depending on several
factors. All that remains after the cremation
is bone fragments and ash that is reduced
to a finer powder to be placed in an urn and
returned to the family or scattered. A stamped
medallion is often placed with a body to ensure
proper identification, along with many other
systems in place to ensure the identification
of the cremated remains is never in question.
The cremated remains are entirely sterile and
completely safe to handle. Because cremation
is irreversible, unlike burials, more paperwork
is required, including permission from a
Medical Examiner, before a crematorium may
proceed with any cremation.

Handibus keeps
essential hours
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

A Strathmore special needs family
was questioning why nighttime service
could not be provided by the Strathmore and District Handibus to educational opportunities. The service had
been used in the past and they questioned why it was no longer available.
Councillor Rocky Blokland addressed
this and similar concerns at the Sept.
16, Town of Strathmore council meeting, clarifying the hours of operation
and mission goals for the Handibus.
The Strathmore Handibus is there
mainly for transportation to and from
medical appointments. It is stated in
the mission statement, said Blokland.
The organization set summer operating hours in July of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
until Sept. 21, which is consistent with
other Handibus organizations in the
province.
The Handibus has been struggling to
meet its patient obligations as the service is well used. They have doubled
up patient loads to maximize service
times, but are still delayed by wait
times experienced in Calgary, occurring around medical appointments.
There are only two full-time drivers
and five part-time drivers. Blokland
gave examples of how staff have gone
above and beyond, sometimes working
more than their shifts, to accommodate

the needs of the patients. They also


ensure that evening hospital patients
from Sagewood are returned to the facility. They are averaging approximately 600 trips per month.
Alberta Health Services were approached in the past for support on
medical transfers; however, no support
was forthcoming. The Strathmore Taxi
was open to providing a van for night
service; however, the province wanted
the owner to make an upfront investment of $70,000 for the vehicle, which
the owner said he could never get back
in fares.
Blokland said the Handibus organization must also manage their financial, staffing and six bus maintenance
and equipment needs, in order to remain viable and serve the public. Last
year it cost $300,000 to keep the organization running.
He said the organization gets a lot
of positive feedback from its users and
has only had two complaints last year,
each dealing with transportation to social engagements.
The board meets on Sept. 21 and will
be discussing the hours of operation at
that time. The Strathmore and District
Handibus is a volunteer operation that
is a separate entity from the Town of
Strathmore and Wheatland County, and
which raises operating funds through
grants and donations (including those
from the town and county).

investigating a break and enter and
theft from vehicle that occurred on

Unknown suspect(s) then broke into
an unlocked garage and stole several
items including a Dewalt electric saw,
a wooden air pellet gun with the name
Daisy on it, and a older model 12 gauge
shotgun. RCMP is reminding people to
keep their doors locked at night to help
avoid these incidents. If you have any
information that could help in solving
this investigation, please contact the

People with tinnitus hear sounds from within


their ear. Sounds like ringing, buzzing, whistling,
roaring or hissing can be very draining and
stressful. There is hope on the horizon. A new
drug, AM-101 is being tested and looks promising
to treat tinnitus. It is administered as an injection
into the ear past the ear drum. Clinical trials so
far have shown significant reduction in the sounds
with minimal side effects. Well keep you posted
on this one.
Another good reason to exercise regularly: It
helps reduce the loss of height that often comes
with aging. Those little discs between our vertebrae
often dry out and get smaller with age. This results
in our becoming shorter. But regular exercise will
compress and relax these discs and help keep them
from shrinking.
During pregnancy, when you or the people around
you smoke, your baby smokes too. Smoking
interferes with the efficient transport of oxygen in
the blood so your baby gets less oxygen and that
can cause the baby to grow more slowly, gain less
weight and could be born prematurely. No alcohol
during pregnancy is a good rule to follow. Add no
smoking to the list as well.
People who have had one kidney stone will
probably have another within 5 years. Most kidney
stones contain calcium oxalate. Eating foods high
in calcium (or supplements) can help bind the
oxalate in the gut reducing the amount reaching
the urine.
For help in choosing the right calcium product for
you, talk to our pharmacists.

Fahed Khalid

Rural Ridings and


Their Dynamics in Big
Government

How do rural ridings get represented? Does your candidate have experience and knowledge of both a rural
riding and an urban riding and why is
this important?
Rural riding dynamics are totally different than urban dynamics. First off,
the candidate of a rural riding should
live in the riding. If not, then they
should at a minimum have lived in a
rural community at one point to understand the dynamics and issues, as
they are much different than a large
city. If the candidate for a rural riding is city based and has never lived
in a rural riding, how can one really
represent the people or understand the
issues. Likewise, if a rural individual
has never lived in the city, how can one
understand the mindset of urbanites
and communicate issues to big government, which are usually based in big

cities with large populations. When I


say big cities this would be like Edmonton, which is the capital, and not like
the towns and smaller cities within the
province.
Therefore the optimal solution would
be to have a candidate that has both
qualities of experience and knowledge
of the two sides of this paradigm, which
is rural and urban. This would make
your candidate effective and efficient,
as a public servant whose voice could
be heard and views expressed would
be listened to, as they know what they
are talking about and can communicate
with both types of people.
At the end of the day the public servant is responsible to the tax payer,
thus picking one who understand both
sides is the simple solution to a large
and present problem in the election
and government that we have today.

BOW RIVER RIDING

CANDIDATE FORUM
The Strathmore Times, with the support of the Town of
Strathmore, Rockys Bakery and the Strathmore & District
Agricultural Society, is hosting a forum for the candidates

October 1, 7 p.m.
at the Strathmore Civic Centre,

of the Bow River Riding on

located at 120 Brent Boulevard.

The forum will be moderated by Herb McLane.

www.StrathmoreTimes.com

I have the experience and knowledge


of rural issues and big city issues which
are inherently different from each other and understand the dynamics to address them and find a solution to them.

Frans
VandeStroet

Christian Heritage Party


(CHP Canada)
Abortion
One issue that is very
important to the Christian Heritage Party (CHP) and me is
the terrible fact that Canada is the only
Western country without any legislation to regulate abortion. Worldwide
we are in dubious company of only
two notorious human rights violators,
China and North Korea. This means
that it is not illegal or punishable in
Canada to kill a baby in even the latest
stages of a pregnancy, all in the name
of CHOICE. The CHP believes in the
rights of men and women to choose,
but we dont believe in the right to kill
our unborn children if we choose to
do so. Mainstream parties like the Liberals and NDP have decided that it is
OK to kill the unborn, if the mother
thinks she has to make that choice. The
Conservatives play it safe by not touching the subject and by punishing their
own Members of Parliament, if they
get too noisy about this subject. The
CHP is Canadas only federal pro-life
party who speaks up for the human
rights of the unborn! We will work
hard to implement legislation that protects the unborn, and gives women
all the support they need to avoid the
ugly choice to kill their unborn baby.
We need to stimulate adoption, not
abortion! Unwanted pregnancies are
often the symptom of unhealthy relationships. The CHP wants to strengthen the traditional family unit, thereby
creating the best possible environment
for our teenagers when they grow up
and explore relationships. Strong families often also form the support base
that is needed to avoid the choice to
kill an unborn baby in case of unwanted pregnancy. So in short, the CHP
wants family friendly policies, encourage healthy sexual behaviour, promote
adoption, and make abortion unthinkable as soon as possible!

Residents of the Bow River Riding are invited to attend


the forum and submit generic questions that will be asked
by the moderator to ALL of the candidates. There will be
a formal opportunity to ask each candidate questions
one-on-one after the forum has concluded.
Coffee and snacks will be provided.
Candidates running for the Bow River Riding are:
Martin Shields (Conservative Party),
Rita Fromholt (Green Party), William MacDonald Alexander
(Liberal Party), Lynn MacWilliam (New Democratic Party),
Frans VandeStroet (Christian Heritage Party) and
Fahed Khalid (Democratic Advancement Party).

National
Daycare
Program
One thing that I am
excited about during
this election is the prospect of having a $15-aday National Childcare Program. Canadian families have wanted this for a
long time and it is finally within reach.
In 1993, the Liberals promised to
bring in a childcare program. Even
with 12 years of majority government,
they did not deliver. The last year they
were in power, they cobbled together a
program at the eleventh hour; too little,
too late.

Greenhouse gas reduction
How can we reduce
greenhouse gas emissions when our economy and society are
heavily dependent on fossil fuels such
as oil, gas and coal?
While the Green Party of Canada is
a federal party fully engaged on all
the issues Canadians care about, real
action on climate change by reducing
GHG emissions is core to who we are.
We believe in a Canada that works
together across party lines and
across jurisdictional boundaries to
deliver results. Those results include
more jobs for Canadians in the growing clean tech sector, in renewable
energy, in building a modern infra-

rently paying between $1,000 and


$2,000 per child. Career goals have
been sacrificed because parents have
been unable to find affordable childcare.
Studies show that for every dollar
invested in childcare, our economy
grows by two dollars. A National Childcare Program would generate $3 billion in government revenue.
Tom Mulcair and the NDP have made
a National Childcare Program a priority in this election. In Quebec, Tom
saw firsthand how the provinces universal, affordable childcare program
helped families, boosted the economy
and helped more than 70,000 join the
workforce.
We will work with provinces, territories and First Nations communities to

deliver a National Childcare Program,


where parents pay no more than $15
a day.
As a councillor for the Town of Bassano, I know the only way for the town
to grow is to have affordable childcare.
This will bring young families to the
town which, in turn, will bring in more
services and businesses.
I have heard concerns from stayat-home parents, worried they will
be forced to put their children into
childcare. Parents who wish to stay at
home with their children still can, but
the NDP want to ensure that there are
quality, regulated childcare spaces for
families who need them.

structure, and in retrofitting Canadian


buildings.
Greens are calling for 80 per cent reductions, below 1990 levels, by 2050.
A short-term target is 40 per cent, below 2005 levels, by 2025.
These tough targets are achievable
through a series of important measures all designed to move us away
from economic and cultural fossil fuel
dependency. Canadas recently announced targets by the Harper government are the weakest in the G7.
We would implement a federal carbon fee that would only be levied on
fossil fuels at source when the coal,
oil or gas comes out of the ground or
crosses the border into Canada. The
exact fee would vary according to the
different global warming potential of
the different fuels. Those paying the
fee would pass the extra cost on down

the business chain. However, we believe that every dollar generated by


the carbon fee should be returned to
Canadians through an equal per capital dividend payment.
Other measures we would implement to reduce emissions include removing subsides to fossil fuel industries, create funding for clean tech
and alternative energy businesses and
mobilize trades and workers across
Canada in a national federally funded
program to retrofit residential, business and institutional buildings to
drastically improve energy efficiency.
Greens also believe that Canada
must show leadership in reaching an
international agreement on emissions
reductions targets at the UN negotiations in Paris in December. Contact

Water meter for ag grounds


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

A $40,000 budget was allocated in 2014 for the Ag
Grounds Water Metering project; however, cost analysis shows that an additional $30,000 will be needed
later to complete the entire project, which includes
a meter/vault building, line meters to the various
buildings and ice rink, hardware, contingency work
fund and engineering costs. Planners asked that the
original $40,000 be put towards the mainline water
meter installation that would tie town water into the
agricultural society grounds, which was necessary
to protect the quality of town water.
We have been asked and been engaged by the
Strathmore Agricultural Society on the technical review for water service to the ag grounds, said Gord
Elenko, engineering director for the Town of Strathmore.
He said the team was doing an onsite technical
review this week.

The grounds have service lines that provide water to the campground and three structures on the
south end of the grounds. The grounds currently
have one private well. There were concerns that the
untreated well could cross-contaminate town lines,
unless a special isolation valve is installed.
There were financial concerns noted by Councillor Denise Peterson as to whether the ag society
could afford metered water.
I certainly support in theory what we are doing to protect the integrity of the water supply and
know how much water we are using, said Peterson.
My concern is once we put this meter in, we could
typically, with the ball diamonds there I think I
heard one time a figure sometime be looking at
the amount of $30,000 to $50,000 worth of water.
I have had the opportunity in the last few years to
look at the ag society books, and I dont see them
actually being able to afford this. If this converts
into an actual cost to the society, it could bring them
down. In order to support this, I need some kind of

assurance that this something that can be looked at


in depth.
Administration indicated that the ag society has
requested a meeting to discuss whether a joint partnership with the town could be reached to deal with
the issue. Administration assured council that at this
point, the mainline water meter will not result in a
bill. A bill wouldnt be forthcoming until the issue
comes through council for approval. Currently, the
ag society pays about $3,000 per month for water
service just to the onsite washrooms.
Councillor Rocky Blokland reminded council that
Strathmore residents were paying high costs for
their water use and that the 30 per cent water losses
experienced by the town needed to be considered.
He questioned whether the town knew how much
water the grounds were actually using.
Elenko said metering would help establish how
much water was being used.
Council approved the additional funds, which
would be taken from the financial stabilization fund.

Albertas government needs to settle things down


DEREK FILDEBRANDT
MLA for Strathmore-Brooks and
the Wildrose Shadow Minister
of Finance

In

In
challenging
economic
times, good governments should
bring stability and predictability
to the markets.
Whatever else a government
does, it should follow the first
rule of medicine with regards to
the economy: Do no harm.
When questioned about the

potentially harmful effects of


her governments policies, NDP
Premier Rachel Notley told the
Edmonton Sun that folks need
to settle down a bit.
There is no silver bullet that
governments can use to cure
the economy through their own
managerial genius, but there is a
lot that governments can do to
hurt the economy.
Already, Albertas NDP government has brought forward
an energy royalty review that is
almost sure to hike royalty rates
at a time when the industry is
reeling from globally depressed
oil prices.

This means that even when


oil prices recover, Alberta will
be poorly positioned to ride the
next boom of investment relative to our primary competitors.
Investors dont just put their
money where they can make
a profit. They put their money
where they can make the most
profit. That means that if Saskatchewan or North Dakota has
a competitive royalty advantage
over Alberta, investment dollars
that would otherwise come here
will find their way to our competitors.
Beyond this, the government

sonal tax rates, while leaving


in place several tax hikes on
things like gasoline imposed
by the Redford-Prentice government.
All of these tax hikes taken
together are now only projected to net about one-third
of the revenue that the NDP
said they would during the
election campaign. Taken
together with massive new
spending measures, this is
only adding to Albertas record $9.1 billion deficit.
In this same interview with
the Edmonton Sun, Premier
Notley left the door wide
open to even further tax
hikes beyond those that her
party campaigned on, while
her environment minister
has openly mused about a
new carbon tax and vehicle
tax on Albertans.
With major royalty and tax
hikes on job creators in Alberta and the very real threat
of more to come, its no wonder that Albertans are unsettled right now. But its not
the job of Albertans to settle
down when the government
tells them to do so. Its the
job of the government to restore economic confidence
and certainty.
To do that, the Wildrose
Opposition is trying to provide constructive alternatives
for the government.
The best thing that the government can do right now

to restore confidence in our


economy would be to close
the door on any further tax
hikes that they did not campaign on during the election.
They can make clear that
the royalty review is not an
ideological crusade with predetermined outcomes. They
can begin to get government
spending under control and
bring it to a more sustainable
level in line with the national
average. They can put forward a credible plan to balance the budget after eight
consecutive deficits.
Albertas
government
hasnt passed a budget since
Alison Redford was premier
in the spring of 2014. The
new government has been
in power for 4.5 months
and still hasnt put forward
its own budget. MLAs have
had a long enough summer
break. We should be in the
legislature right now passing
one, which would go some
way to providing direction
and certainly.
Ive met with business
leaders in Strathmore, in
Brooks, and across the province. They are all worried.
They need their government
to get back on the rails.
While my colleagues and I
in the Wildrose Opposition
are not in the majority of the
legislature, we will be doing
our best to work across the
aisle and get this done.

Decision making process moves ahead


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Hussar residents took a rainy night on Sept.14
to do some deep thinking and productive brainstorming for the Municipal Affairs Viability Team,
at the workshop held in the Hussar Community
Centre.
They were presented with five simple, direct,
open-ended questions that participants answered
individually and in group sessions. The questions were not targeted for specific responses or
given leading multiple choice options. They gave
participants a jumping off point to express their
thoughts and concerns.
You are residents of Hussar, and have so much
in your heads about Hussar, and that is what the
team wants to hear from you, said facilitator Lynda Reynolds.
The questions were:
What is important to you about Hussar being
a village?
What do you thing the top priorities for the
Village of Hussar should be?
Are property taxes and utility rates in Hussar
affordable for the current service levels?
What other viability issues should the Hussar
Viability review team be reviewing?
Do you consider the village of Hussar to be
sustainable in the long run?
Discussion varied from table to table but topics included infrastructure, bylaw enforcement,
economic development, growth, future planning,
taxes, communication, the need for clarification of
some issues, community spirit and participation,

aging populations, and a request for more information and comparisons of options available and
their ramifications.
There were some responses to topics that were
split among the respondents and Reynolds said
the individual responses from the worksheets will
help with clarifying some areas.
Some interesting ideas were floated to improve
viability, such as developing the nearby lake, providing a seniors lodge which would generate employment opportunities, developing the commercial base, utilizing an economic advisor, marketing
the town and rural lifestyle and requesting that
the provincial government honour commitments
to support rural communities.
Reynold said that all input would be considered
when developing the plan, which would present
the options that apply to dissolution vs remaining
a village.
She hoped the process of gathering information,
engagement and gaining feedback will help the
viability team to produce a working viability plan
for consideration. The next step is to compile the
information and have the viability team review the
information. Members of the team were on hand
to listen to discussion and they rotated through
the various workgroups. There are ten members
on the team, which included representatives from
Alberta Municipal Affairs, Hussar council and administration, Wheatland County council and administration, Alberta Association of Municipal
Districts and Counties, Alberta Municipalities and
Urban Associations and Local Government Administration Association. The members did not fill out
forms or direct discussion.

New additions to Edgefield development


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

A school, pathways and a lighted intersection
for the Edgefield development were under discussion in the Town of Strathmore council meeting on Sept. 16, with W. Brett Wilson making an
appearance for clarification on how plans might
affect his adjacent development of Prairie Strathmore.
We have been an active supporter as the town,
the administration and certainly the school district. We are fully supportive of the putting the
school here said Wilson. We have been challenged in conversations with the administration
in understanding of the TIA (traffic intersection
assessment) and what impact on the joint road.
The study pointed out that during peak hours
in the late afternoon and evening there would be
a need for the lighted intersection and construction would need to develop a way to alleviate the
northbound congestion on the road. There was
some consideration to a possible round about or
turning lanes to solve the possible traffic delay.
Council advised administration to work with Wil-

sons team and provide them the documentation


that they needed to help with their planning on
this issue. A full traffic signal light system will cost
$300,000, but council voted to support a suggestion that an interim portable, solar operated pedestrian crossing light system be purchased for
$30,000 and utilized at the intersection until traffic
flow warranted a more complex permanent fixture .
The school site is set for the north side of the
development in Phase 2 of the development along
with an additional 70 residential lots. The intersection would connect to Parklane Drive, across
George Freeman Trail and between the two developments onto Edgefield Gate. Construction
of paved walkways is planned for the east side
of George Freeman Trail, starting in the Ranch
area and extending up to Brent Blvd and making
connections with existing walking trails. Council
closed the public hearings and passed second and
third readings to the Area Structure Plan amendments to accommodate the changes in Phase 2
of the Edgefield development and begin the first
phase of walkway development along George
Freeman Trail in the Ranch area.

FINDING THE GIFT


Finding the extraordinary in the
ordinary I think this is gift. If
you are able to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, everyday
is a special gift offering joy and
contentment.
Truth be told, most of life is lived
in ordinary time. Each day holds
its routine. Perhaps the miracle
of the day is the most delicious
breakfast you enjoyed. Biting
into the seasons fresh fruit the
pear dripping its juice down your
chin. Sipping the smooth rich
flavor of your favorite brew. The
melted butters salty flavor mixed
with that homemade sweet jam
smothered on toast what a
treat! An extraordinary gift on an
ordinary morning.
Each day holds its routine
school or work. What a gift to
be able to study, or work. An
extraordinary way to spend
your ordinary day. Learning and
enriching your mind, or working,
contributing your time and
energies to how society runs.
And in the process, enjoying the
company of those whose journey
crosses yours; other students,
co-workers, friends.

Fracking and One Insiders


Stand Against the Worlds
Most Powerful Industry, centers on the story of Jessica
Ernst, a Rosebud-area resident whos been engaged
in a lawsuit against Encana,
the Alberta Energy Regulator
and the Alberta government
since 2008, when she reported that fracking had made
her well water undrinkable
and unsafe to use.
Nikiforuk presented the
history and evolution of
hydraulic fracturing, informally known as fracking.
He explained that fracking involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into
underground rock at high
pressure, in order to release
the petroleum resources attached to that rock. As much
greater force is now used in
the process than when fracking began in the mid-19th
century, theres growing risk
that harmful levels of gases
such as methane will be
released into surrounding
aquifers.
Ernst also spoke, receiving
a standing ovation when she
was introduced and another
when she concluded. She
said shed come to Rosebud
to live a quiet, peaceful life,
but when her water was ruined, she wanted accountable people to be accountable, but they wouldnt. So
she took on a legal case
thats ended up lasting over
seven years. It has taken a

toll on her physical body,


and brought worldwide attention to fracking, to Rosebud and to Ernst herself.
The greatest thing so far
(in the lawsuit) has been this
event, Ernst said, pointing
out the number of communities represented. She emphasized the power in community and said, my lawsuit is
your lawsuit.
Ernst said she believes its
not possible to frack safely,
because if it were, energy
regulating bodies around
the world would ensure it
was done safely. Instead,
she gave several examples of
regulating bodies covering
up the dangers and damages
of fracking. When she asked
the crowd, how many people here think fracking can
be made safe with regulation? there was silence. She
concluded, no one here.
Ernst said she hears from

engineers and other oil and gas workers who express concern about the
risks of injury that fracking poses to
themselves and their fellow workers.
They also refer to the contamination of
groundwater. She said they ask themselves, do we want to be poisoning

She expressed hope that we can find

We (human beings) have the most
incredible imagination of any species,
she said. We can create healthy jobs.
After the presentations, Nikiforuk
and Ernst answered audience questions, which indicated audience members support for Ernst in her lawsuit,
concern about the safety of their own
water, and an increased desire to challenge the practice of fracking, both
provincially and globally.

The Shack author to speak in Rosebud


LAUREEN F. GUENTHER

How do you explain outside-the-box thinking
to your children? Paul Young said he wrote The
Shack as a Christmas gift for his six children, because his wife had asked him to write something
to help them understand the concept.
He made 15 photocopies of the
book, gave them to his children
and his friends, and was satisfied
the book had accomplished its purpose.
But my friends started giving it
to their friends, who started giving
it to their friends, Young said. So
that started this conversation about
making 15 more.
Young, author of the bestselling book The Shack, will come to
Rosebud, Oct. 4, to speak, and then
share a meal with guests.
He explained that The Shack is
best described as a suspense-mystery-wrapped-up-in-a-what-if.
The book poses the big question that in the
midst of our true human suffering, what if there
was a God who was good all the time? What
would that be like? Young said people discovered
that The Shack gave people a language to have a
conversation about God that wasnt religious. The
book outlines the conversation was relational ...
and asks really human questions.
A copy of the book got into the hands of someone who suggested making it into a movie and
that led to conversations about formally publishing it. Young and friends submitted The Shack to
26 publishers, but all of them, both faith-based
and secular, turned it down. So Young said he and
his friends started their own company, set up a
website, printed 10,000 copies and spent less than
$300 on marketing. In May 2007, they started selling it out of one mans garage, and in the first 13

months, they sold 1.1 million books.


Multiple millions of copies have now been sold,
the book has been translated into 48 languages,
and shooting has just finished for a major motion
picture.
Its very exciting, Young said, So surreal to be
on the set and watching 50 crew people and cast,
working on something that you made 15 copies
that did all that you wanted.
Hes also written two more novels: Crossroads, which focuses on
the question of how grace gets
into the world of someone who
doesnt want it and Eve, released
this month, which asks if men
are so obviously more messed up
than women, how come theyre in
charge. Young predicted that Eve
may make even bigger waves than
The Shack did.
He said his Oct. 4 talk will center on telling stories, some of
his own, and some from people
whove interacted with The Shack.
Every human being has a story,
so I think we have a natural affinity for story,
Young said.
Hell follow storytelling with a question-and-response time, explaining that he doesnt do question-and-answer sessions because he doesnt have
all the answers, but he loves questions.
The beautiful thing about questions is theres
always nuances to them, Young said. and people
also bring meaning from their own lives to those
questions ... questions are an invitation to relationship.
After the formal presentation, therell be a meal
with guests who choose that option when purchasing tickets.
Youngs presentation will begin at 3 p.m., followed by the optional meal. For tickets to the
show or meal, call 1-800-267-7553 or go to rosebudtheatre.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you council!


To the Editor
Thank you town council for not going ahead with
the purchase of the old Co-op building. It is beyond
me why it was even considered, when the future of
this town is looking at 50,000 to 60,000 people in the
next 20 to 25 years.
It makes much more economic sense to purchase
10 to 20 acres to provide a new town office building
that can expand to more than one story and room for
storage buildings for park and road equipment, plus
a repair shop.
The purchase of 30 to 40 acres should also be
looked at in the near future for bus barns and shops.
Bussing systems should be planned out now to allow

new subdivisions to accommodate bus roads and pull


offs. As roads are being redone, bus pull offs should
be put in place as we will need a bussing system in
the next three to five years.
This is not a profitable venture, but a necessary one.
If this council is truly looking at ways to use the old
Co-op area, allow it to be rezoned to high rise apartment building, built five to eight stories high, to house
low income and disable people. It is people that can
walk downtown that will keep the core business running.
Sincerely
Vivian MacCallum

Setting terms for good neighbours


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Wheatland County council gave first reading
to the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP)
between Wheatland County and the MD of Foothills 31 on Sept. 9. It is the first such agreement
to be considered with the five counties that border Wheatland County land. The Foothills 31 and
Wheatland County border each other along fifteen sections of land bordering the river, which
divides Township 21 and Range 26 between the
two counties.
This is basically a good neighbour policy,
said Diane Horvath, representative planner from
the Oldman River Regional Services Commision
project team.
The plan falls under the mandate of the South
Saskatchewan Regional plan and agreements
must comply with its strategies. It also covers
those participating in the Calgary Metropolitan
Plan (CMP) and members of the Calgary Regional Partnership (CRP), but not those that have
agreements outside of the CMP and CRP.
Public consultation, discussions with developers, administration and various councils were
done in the initial planning prior to drawing up
a draft plan.
There was an open house held in Carseland in
June of this year, where several representatives
from the various interests were present to answer questions; however, there were few of the
public in attendance. There were no public in
attendance in Wheatland County council for the
Sept. 8 public hearing either. First reading of the
plan was passed in July and another public hearing was held in the Wheatland County Council
chambers.
The purpose of the agreement is to foster cooperation and mitigate conflict between municipalities in land use, infrastructure and future growth
of their bordering properties.
Some of the goals were to:
Work together to achieve the shared environmental, economic, and social outcomes in the
South Saskatchewan Regional Plan and minimize
negative environmental cumulative effects.
Address common planning issues, especially
where valued natural features and historic resources are of interests to more then one stake-

holder and where the possible effect of development transcends jurisdictional boundaries.
Coordinate and work with each other in their
respective planning activities (such as in the development of plans and policies) and development approval process to address issues of mutual interest.
Work together to anticipate, plan and set
aside adequate land with the physical infrastructure and services required to accommodate future population growth and accompanying community development needs.
Build awareness regarding the application of
land-use planning tools that reduce the impact
of residential, commercial and industrial developments on the land, including approaches and
best practices for promoting the efficient use of
private and public lands.
Pursue joint use agreements, regional services commissions and any other joint cooperative
arrangements that contribute specifically to intermunicipal land use planning.
Consider the value of intermunicipal development planning to address land use on fringe
areas, airport vicinity protection plan or other areas of mutual interest.
Coordinate land use planning activities with
First Nations, irrigation districts, school boards,
health authorities and other agencies on areas
of mutual interest. Background studies, issue examination, discussions with planners and open
houses for the public were all part of the preparation to drafting agreements.
The process hopes that the administration staff
of the two counties can discuss common issues
and reach an agreement and forward those agreements to their respective councils for approval.
The plan sets out rules for dispute processes.
If the dispute cant be solved in 30 days, the option to appeal to the Municipal Government and
enter into mediation is the next step.
There have been many instances where such a
plan would have helped Wheatland
Council resolve issues for their ratepayers, such
as subdivisions of land bordering two counties,
resolving roadway access in initiatives like the
Rosebud Motorsports development and possibly
water and utility placement in situations like the
Muirfield area. The plan received second and
third reading Sept. 8 and is now in effect.

After head-to-head discussion over Strathmore councils
support for the Calgary Regional Transportation south pilot project in Okotoks, Turner Valley, Black Diamond, High
River and Nanton, council agreed to have Mayor Ell convey
their support for the project at a Calgary Regional Partnership vote in Cochrane on Sept. 17.
The Calgary Regional Transportation partnership is made
up of 14 municipal communities, with the goal to increase
transportation opportunities.
Representatives from the partnership appeared in council
the previous meeting, to answer questions about the project. Councilor Steve Grajczyk wanted to ensure that this
consent presented no direct or indirect financial obligations
for the town. Sobol countered it had no ramifications.
The long-range plan is to include Strathmore in the regional transportation plan. I have worked for years in order
to make this happen. We are next in line for a pilot project,
or at least I hope we still are, said Councilor Bob Sobol.
No funds have been committed and before this can happen, it would have to come for review before council.
This gives direction on what we would like to move forward within the plan and we still get to observe how things
work in Okotoks. They werent expecting any money or
anything, they basically have a two-year pilot project, so if
we do give the approval to you (Mayor Ell), it is just for the
overall philosophy or direction, said Councilor Pat Fule.
I think we are in a perfect situation because we are only
giving direction and guidance and indicating that we are
interested and involved, but we get to sit back and watch
how the south situation evolves, so we are in a great situation here.
Councilor Denise Peterson said she was impressed with
the presentation and that it would give a made-in-Strathmore solution that would build on our community strengths.
Mayor Ell said that it will connect our communities and
keep emissions down. The money has been given to the
CRP and is financed by the Green fund and the municipalities involved. Prior to commitment by Strathmore, a needs
assessment will be done. Councilor Sobol qualified that
populations under 30,000 would not have a plan similar
to the south pilot project, but something that would be tailored to Strathmores present and future needs.
I go into a meeting tomorrow in Cochrane and I want to
tell them that Strathmore is open for business, said Sobol.
Council approved the directive for Mayor Ell and the Calgary Regional Transportation support.

Life in a silent world comes alive


MANNY EVERETT
Times Contributor

Strathmores Marigold Library is
continuing to offer a second round of
Sign Language classes.
Dee-Ann Wagner-Mercer is teaching
two groupings of the sign language
classes on Thursdays this fall, a childrens class from 4-5 p.m. and adults
from 7-8:30 p.m. No experience necessary and all skills levels are welcome to attend. The free program was
so successful this past spring that the
Library has had an overwhelming response to the adult class with over 35
adult registrants.
Wagner-Mercer is using ASL (American Sign Language), which is the language of most deaf Canadians. ASL is
a visual language made up of specific
signs, finger-spelling as well as the
use of facial expressions. As with all
languages ASL has its own rules for
grammar and sentence structure.
When I started helping in my
daughters school back when she first
started playschool, I said to many
people one day Im gonna have half
this town signing.
It is a huge dream of mine to live in
a community where it is not so isolating, said Wagner-Mercer. I dont get
into the classroom as much anymore,
and it has been great to have a place
like the library to have people interested in ASL to get together. I want
to give back to my community and
also set an example to my daughter.
Its super easy as a late deaf person
to sit out as life goes by, I refuse to
let my daughter watch me do that, so
stepping out of my comfort zone and
getting out there in the community. I
have been very overwhelmed by the
support and kindness of everyone.
In the childrens class, WagnerMercer utilizes games like crossword
puzzles and coloring with the kids
in order to enhance memorization of
the hand gestures. Daughter, Kayla

Ann Mercer helps her Mom with the


younger participants.
Kayla-Ann is in Grade 6 this year at
Westmount, said Wagner-Mercer. She
has always been happy to share with
anyone wanting to learn ASL, as I am.
She has ran small little sign groups at
recess among her friends in the past.
The classes will be running until
Dec. 17 and the library will be offering it again in the spring of 2016 as
long as there is interest in the community.
For more information, please contact the Strathmore Library at 403-9345440.

Duane White.
The 40-year-old Calgary
male was pronounced deceased at the scene of the
collision. At the request of
the family, the name of the
deceased is not being released.
White suggested that people walking or biking along
a busy thoroughfare at night
should let someone know
where they are and pay attention to their surroundings.
It is suggested that pedestrians should walk on the
shoulder facing oncoming
traffic, so that they can see
cars coming towards them
and be seen by drivers. White
suggests wearing lighting
devices or illuminated safety vests and light coloured
clothing.

he was struck.
It is undetermined why
he was walking late at night.
There are no criminal charges in the incident and the

Prayer for Terry and Hailey


Strathmore residents sympathized with the tragic circumstances that happened to the DunbarBlanchette family last week and gathered at Kinsman Park on Sept. 19, for a twilight vigil. Participants made a meditative walk for the deceased father and daughter, five km around the pond and
gathered at the end, for a prayer for the family.

Proposed guidelines set for Muirfield


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Wheatland County planning department was doing some housekeeping
at the Sept. 8 council meeting, asking
council to rescind and replace bylaws
that no longer applied to some properties within the county.
One of the requests had to do with
the Muirfield Direct Control area, which
had a first reading for Bylaw 2015-39,
a request to rescind Bylaw 2015-30, as
well as making textual amendments to
Bylaw 2005-03 for the Lakes of Muirfield.
When bylaw 2015-30 was accepted,
there were no direct control mechanisms designated for a variety of residential, commercial and recreation uses
within the Lakes of Muirfield development. It basically only covered the golf
course and single-family dwellings.
On review, planners felt there needed
to be guidelines for some of the discretionary use categories. The bylaw

required amendments to include structures currently in place within the development.


This turned into a bigger beast than
we thought it would be, said Gerry Melenka, Wheatland County Community
Planner. We made some changes.
The nine-page document of proposed
changes for Muirfield can be viewed on
the County of Wheatland website, under the Sept. 8 agenda, listed after the
Bylaw 2015-39 request.
This document corrects the earlier
bylaw and includes all kinds of building designations, yet deals with the intent of the ASP, said Melenka.
He said that architectural guidelines
were used to develop the direct control
guidelines and that servicing regulations were sent to legal council, who
tightly crafted the content.
First reading was passed for Bylaw
2015-39 and a public hearing will be
set in the future.
Other bylaws given first reading for
repeal were 2015-40 through 2015-44.

Travelling Mabels close to sellout Home offer for


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Those hoping to catch the Travelling
Mabels at the Strathmore Travelodge on
Oct. 17 better order tickets quick.
We are almost 75 per cent sold out,
said organizer Linda Storksen.
The Travelling Mabels were voted the
Academy of Country Music Awards 2011
Group of the Year.
Suzanne Levesque characterized their
music as a little bit of everything. She
said they would play accordion, acoustic and bass guitar and piano as well as
sing in three-part harmony.
We play country, folk and acoustic
rock and sing three-part female harmony, said Levesque.
The group is partly comprised of
Levesque and her mother Eva, who
writes many songs, and their stage name
is derived from a song she wrote about
a bluetic hound dog.
The two met their other band mates,
Lana and Keith Floen, at the Canadian

Country Music Awards (CCMA) and


jammed with them at a Royalty records
party, which led to them forming the
Travelling Mabels.
Lana has opened for some famous
stage artists such as Shania Twain, Tom
Jackson and Ian Tyson.
Keith was nominated at the 2012
CCMA as the Keyboard Player of the
Year. He is a jack-of-all-trades, taking
care of the road management, stage and
lighting, as well as helping the group
cut their album in the recording studio
in the Floen home.
They have two albums and are working on their third.
They will have CDs for sale at the
Oct. 17 performance or they can be purchased through iTunes or cdbaby.com.
If you are planning on coming out,
we know youll enjoy yourself, said
Levesque. We get comments from our
patrons all the time about Eva. She tends
to keep it light and tell corny jokes.
People say they feel uplifted when they
leave.

New Blood story still brings healing

StrathmoreTimes.com

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor

New Blood, a theatrical dance show created by
Deanne Bertsch and the
dance, glee and Blackfoot
classes at Strathmore High
School in 2014, tells the
story of Indian residential
schools and is being performed at two reconciliation
events this month.
On Sept. 23, it was performed at Moving Together
as People in Stand Off, Alberta. Itll be performed
again on Sept. 28, in Calgarys Central Public Library, for Bow Valley Colleges Indian Residential
School Awareness Day.

but she was a day student, riding the bus


home every day. She suffered abuse at
school, but more than that, she remembers
the stories of abuse she heard from her
classmates and friends, who often said they
wished they could go home at the end of
the day like she did.
Theres times when they would run up
to the windows and stare out into nothing,
she said. They would look at me and they
would say, I was just thinking I wish that I
saw my parents coming.
Or theyd ask her, What are you doing
after school when you get home?
Running Rabbit didnt want to tell them.
I didnt want them feeling bad that I get
to do things and they dont. Theyre not as
free as I was, she said. You could tell that
they were very, very lonely.
Some were really abused, that (residential schools) ruined their lives. It ruined
their future. It took our identity away, our
self-esteem.
So when we see aboriginal people homeless and on the streets, or struggling socially in other ways, she wants us to remember
that many of them were the people who
had no future after residential schools.
But now, performances of New Blood are
bringing hope.
Its such a healing play. It heals a lot of
people that see it, Running Rabbit said,
because most survivors of the schools see
something in it that they relate to.
And survivors arent the only people it
touches. After one performance, a young
woman came to Running Rabbit in tears
saying, I cannot believe that this is what
my grandparents went through.
Running Rabbit added, Thats how powerful the play is.
Non-aboriginal audience members have
also come to her afterward, saying they
didnt know this had happened in residential schools.
New Bloods impact continues to grow.
Its still in demand, right today, Running Rabbit said. And what its doing is, its
healing. Its a healing play ... It has healed
many, and many more to come.
Bertsch will teach New Blood to RSA
dance students in 2016, and hopes to remount New Blood with her SHS dance
class this year and to invite school groups
to see it. Look at newbloodthedanceshow.
com or New Blood on Facebook, to follow
the performances.

Both events celebrate the


healing that has taken place
as a result of what the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission has done, Bertsch
said, and the healing that
they hope will continue to
take place.
This years New Blood
cast, dancing to Peter Gabriels music by the same
title, ranges from 10 to 60
years in age, Bertsch said. It
includes SHS students and
graduates, Siksika elders
and children, and students
and graduates of Rosebud
School of the Arts (RSA).
Eulalia Running Rabbit,
who narrates the play and
plays the mother, attended
residential school as a child,

Historical Society proposes new plan


market buildings, situated next to the
HiHo gas station.
The benefits to leaving the church at
the existing site are no moving costs,
putting some of that money to site development, qualification for larger restoration grants and contribution to the
downtown revitalization effort; and the
proximity to Wheatland Trail still allows for easy access to its role as a visitors centre. Councilor Denise Petersen
gave her support to the historic effort.
The desire to commemorate the remarkable history of this community
has been demonstrated throughout the
last 40 to 50 years, said Councilor Denise Petersen. Last year the effort was
renewed when the Western District
Historical Society was formed.
Council directed administration to
look into researching the cost to the
purchase of the lots, and if feasible after approval of the lot purchase, negotiate with the interested party for
resale of the unused portion of the
property.

REGRET, SHAME & BLAME

Annette Stanwick

Annette Stanwick is a best-selling author and international speaker, who


brings a new seminar on releasing regrets, shame & guilt of the past to
help individuals.

You helped me see my regret and shame through different eyes and
helped me make the choice to unlock my own prison doors! I feel like Ive
experienced a miracle in my life and finally I am free!
said a former attendee.

INSIGHTS TO PEACE

The seminar will assist attendees in reducing self-doubt, guilt & criticism
that erode our courage, confidence and meaningful connections, said
Stanwick. Carrying a heavy burden of regret, guilt or shame, regardless
of who is at fault, drags us down, makes us feel inferior, impacts our
relationship with others and may erode our ability to assert ourselves or
face issues and resolve conflicts.
She said shame emphasizes what is wrong with us personally, while regret
and remorse on the other hand, point to the things weve done wrong.
An individual may feel shame due to abuse or poor parenting they
experienced as a child, experiences that contribute to feeling they were
never good enough. That shame may cause them to attack others in an
attempt to feel better about themselves. It can also cause one to strive for
power or perfection. On the other hand feelings of shame may cause one
to blame others for their difficulties or to withdraw, deny or numb out
their negative feelings.
As a speaker, coach and Freedom Facilitator with decades of experience as
a health care professional, Annette Stanwick has studied human behavior
for decades and has authored the award-winning and best-selling book,
FORGIVENESS: THE MYSTERY & MIRACLE, based on her own profound
and life changing experiences with forgiveness and letting go. Her books

There may be a way that the Western
District Historical Society (WDHS) can
keep the old Anglican church situated
on its present site.
The church was to be renovated for
use as a historic museum and a visitors
information centre. WDHS representatives, appearing in Strathmore council
on Sept. 16, said there has been some
opposition from the community about
moving the church. They were pleased
to announce that they had a new opportunity to keep the church on its
original foundation. The Anglican diocese has consented to sell the lot under
the church and there is an interested
party looking to purchase the land not
utilized for the museum site.
The society won $5,000 in the townsponsored Lets Make a Pitch event
and it planned to utilize that money to
move St. Michaels Anglican Church to
a new location near the new farmers

Bisons win tourney


JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The CFR Bisons have to be feeling pretty good about themselves after going 5-0
and winning their annual exhibition tournament last weekend at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
Head coach Sandy Henry and his staff
got a great look at players they were keen
on, and he thought this
was a great way to get a
piece-by-piece look at the
players that will best suit
the team.
Well have five extra,
so we got 25, said Henry.
For us its an excellent
way to sort out our roster. I think anyone could
see we had quite a few
more extra guys than the
other three teams that
were there. We carried 15 extra guys in
the tournament, most of the other teams
were between six and eight. I think our
guys tried to equalize out and we got an
all situation look at every guy and it was
really useful.
Henry saw some mistakes out there
that are normal because of players coming from different leagues, and another
step in the evaluation process without
any systems put into place.
However, he did see positives come of
players as their defensive coverage improved steadily in the tournament.
Obviously we havent had a chance to
work on any defensive zone at all, said
Henry. When you have five guys from
five different associations on ice, with
five different ideas that wasnt match-

SPORTS

ing as good. Definitely we saw some dzone breakdowns where they werent getting proper coverage. The thing I did like
about our d-zone, I think our attack to
the point man was very good. The lanes
we took, blocked a lot of shots and thats
a part of us being a really quick team and
makes that more effective, where we really close that space and teams have a hard
time getting that puck through clean.
He did mention
he challenged the
veterans earlier in
the week, and the
coaches felt the ones
dressed met expectations in solidifying
their spots on the
team.
I thought they did
that, said Henry. Every guy got a little bit
of a pat on the back,
but they also got a gun lashing at times. I
thought at the end of the tournament they
were real good.
The Herd had two exhibition games
this week and Henry thinks now it will be
down to choosing the right mix of players, who want to sacrifice some offense
to help out in the defensive end and who
can make plays out of nothing to produce
offensively.
With the regular season coming up, he
is excited to get things rolling.
I think youre always excited to get
your team on the ice with what you feel is
your team, said Henry. This trial process
is a grind. Its a grind on parents, players
and coaches. Well be glad to get to the
games and excited too. I think we got a
good squad.

Kings hope to make life difficult for opponents


JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Kings brass has been left with nothing but positive impressions, from training camp right
through the exhibition season.
There is reason for optimism that the team will be
tough enough for opposing clubs on a nightly basis.
The evaluation process was quite tough, said cocoach Emilio Fuoco. We had to make some tough decisions on some players, but our foundation is there
and were looking forward to having a very successful
season.
Fouco said injuries have made the decisions on players difficult. Whether that will affect the roster for the
early part of the season is unclear.

Weve had some unfortunate injuries, he said. Our


numbers are a little skewed right now. We havent made
our decisions on some players, on the basis we need to
have those numbers to cover some of the injuries, so
were not quite where we need to be, but were close.
The season is around the corner and the clubs veterans have made a noticeable impact. Fuoco believes
they have fit into their roles nicely, which will create a
balance in the line up and help the rookies along.
What I was really impressed with was our veterans,
said Fouco. Changing our mindset and them showing
great leadership and buying in. The excitement of players bonding together and eventually well have some
good things happen. The expectation is always for the
older players to lead and guide the younger players, no
matter what the skill level might be and theyre doing

a great job.
Aside from the strength of the veterans, he mentioned there are a variety of skill levels that could be
potent as the campaign goes along.
Weve got some really skilled players, said Fouco.
Were excited that theyre going to be able to show the
skill they have in game situations a lot better than in
the exhibition series.
He added the Kings goal is to be the best team in the
league and play hard every night, making it difficult for
opposing teams to play.
The practice of better discipline these past couple of
games will only help the players be successful.

Spartan golf focuses on provincial berths


JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Strathmore High School saw
many eager golfers come to a practice
round last week and will have enough
players to field a girls team, which the
school has not seen in a while.
The solo returning female golfer, Alicia Kennedy, is ecstatic to have a girls
team this season as she said it would
be easier to be play with them and
ease up the competition on the course.
We gained a couple of girls, said
Kennedy. We actually have a girls
team now, thatll be fun. It was definitely weird going for the first time because I didnt have any girls with me.
I was put with the actual provincial
champions but it was fun and Im
excited to go back. I think we should
do decent overall.
With only one player going to provincials last year, the Grade 12 student
feels that there is optimism at sending
more this time around.
I think we have a chance at a couple of people going to provincials,
she said.
A hopeful on the team, Connor McKinnon, who is a regular at Speargrass,
would like to take the strong play in
his game and transfer it to the team in
tournament play.
I like to kind of keep it calm, said
McKinnon. My putting is struggling
but hopefully I can get my short game
up, my long game is good. Its different, Ive never really golfed with people from school, its just been me and a
couple of guys that Ive worked with.
Co-coach Jennifer Meyers is excited

CIS volleyball
comes to
Strathmore
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

Strathmore High School is hosting a
CIS Canada West volleyball exhibition
match between Mount Royal University and Trinity Western University. Fans
can expect a great evening of competitive, high-octane volleyball from experienced players on both sides.
I thought it would be a good opportunity for the community to watch
a high level of volleyball right here in
Strathmore, said Cole Hintz, game organizer. I thought it would be a great
experience for the university teams
too. Some of the younger players are
just out of high school, so to kind of be
back in a high school gym, sometimes
is a unique experience for the university athletes as well.
In discussions with both schools,
they thought it was a great opportunity for a tune-up game in preparation
for the Dino Cup Oct. 2-3 and for Trinity Westerns coach to revisit his old
stomping grounds.
I talked to Ben Joesphson, the coach
for Trinity Western, who is a Strathmore High School Alumni, said Hintz.
He was here last year for the Pillars
of Strathmore and he was inducted in.
I talked to him then. He was definitely
interested in doing something back in
Strathmore, where he used to go to
high school. In just talking, and talking
to the coaches in Calgary, we were able
to work something out.
The match will take place on Oct. 1
(8 p.m.). Admission will be $2 and that
will get you a raffle ticket for a Gavin
Schmitt national team jersey.

about the crop of Grade 10s coming


out who are mixing in with a couple of
returning players and forming a competitive team.
Its nice to see some younger players
out like some Grade 10s, said Meyers.
Its always hard when we have full
teams of Grade 12s because it means
the next year we have to reload a full
team. Its nice to have Korbin (Allan)
back in Grade 11 and a few Grade 10s
that look really nice. There are definitely a lot of people that are eager which
is good to see.

She said that the boys might have to


cut it down at divisional to decide the
fifth spot on the team, but with a lot
of them having played all summer that
will make the decision difficult.
They have been playing all summer
and this is what they love to do, she
said. Theres some that are playing
other sports right now and not quite
as dedicated but there is a couple guys
who this is their passion and this what
they want to continue on doing.
Regionals and provincials will be held
later this month in Cochrane again.

Soccer Spartans look to


experienced young core
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The key to success for the Strathmore
Spartans high school girls soccer team
will be relying on the youthful Grade
10 group because of graduating players and some injuries early on in camp.
Unfortunately this year we didnt
have a lot of returning players, said
head coach Kaitrin McDonnell. A couple due to injuries and just other commitments, jobs, getting on with their
Grade 12 year and very few of them
are focusing on academics. I have a
huge chunk of Grade 10s and its
the natural progression of ok heres
our new squad.
According to McDonnell, it has been
a night and day difference with the
players experience of the game compared to a couple of years ago, and she
hopes it will lessen the basic training
that needs to be done.
A lot of girls this year know how to
play soccer, she said. I am hoping so

(the game knowledge) because I have


less to do in terms of basic training. It
focuses on conditioning, building as a
team and now I can go into all the specifics like actually running drills and
using what they know already to my
full advantage as a coach.
McDonnell has only seen the girls
four times before their exhibition
matches in Drumheller, which was held
earlier this week, and said there are no
set positions until after that game.
Defensive member and sweeper Jill
Warrack has played soccer for a few
years and is looking forward to making new friendships on the team and
win some games.
Im looking forward to playing the
game and hopefully winning, she said.
With her experience in the game,
Warrack thinks the high school level
will be more competitive.
I find its more competitive because
its for a shorter time, said Warrack.
We already get pushed harder than we

Wheatland expected to have contending teams


JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Athletic Association has seen many
unfamiliar faces come into camp for all three levels
this season, but from a coaching perspective they are
all expected to get stronger as the season goes along
and hope to have a deep run in the playoffs.
Second-year bantam bench boss Cody Brown will
be looking for a lot of hard work game in and game
out, and said he is fairly confident in the group he
has assembled for the season.
Were looking for guys to show up to the rink and
work hard every time they hit the ice, said Brown.
Were fairly confident in the group we got. Weve
got everybody on board with the hard work thing.
Brown thinks the game plan will be altered this
year because of the young line up and all the new
faces that made the team. The goal is to get everyone
on the same page early.
Its a totally different group of guys we got this
year, said Brown. We got to adjust to that and its
going to be a totally different dynamic you just
got to see what youve got early in the year and work
with it and see what you can do.
He is hoping that players will offer a variety of
skill sets on the ice and not become just a one-dimensional player.
Youre obviously looking for dynamic guys, said
Brown. Just guys that are willing to listen, receptive guys. You tell them something, were looking for
players taking that advice and trying it out there.

He added the team is icing a fairly deep roster and


it should be a good year all around.
Ideally you want in the end is being able to run
all four lines, he said. I think we got the group of
guys to do it. Its just a matter of guys stepping up
and making that possible for us for sure.
The Wheatland Warriors will open up in Medicine
Hat on Sept. 25 before their home opener on Sept.
26 vs. the Bow Valley Timberwolves (4:45 p.m.) at
the Strathmore Family Centre.
Wheatland Chiefs head coach Shadoe Stoodley is
thrilled at the enthusiasm that the young guys are
showing early on, in trying to earn a spot on the
midget team.
So far weve got a lot of young guys that look
pretty good from the M15s last year, said Stoodley.
Thatll help going on a championship run, I think
they know what it takes to win. Our defense, I think,
is the biggest weakness right now,
Stoodley added that the young players skillsets
will help the teams success over the course of the
season.
Theres a few guys that have a scoring touch, he
said. With some of our returnees, theyre kind of
more role players right now, but theres some scorers there too. But with the young guys coming, they
look like a lot of goal scorers in that group.
The Wheatland Chiefs will begin the season with
back-to-back games on Oct. 3 and 4 in Cranbrook,
before their home opener on Oct. 10 against the
CNHA Blazers (4:45 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family
Centre.

What:

The Wheatland Braves are seeing a lot of returning players from last seasons peewee team and new
coach Carl Knudsen hopes they will take on more
of a leadership role, with a lot of new faces coming
into the mix.
We have seven returning players from last year
but we also have a healthy mix of first years, said
Knudsen. Were happy to have them. Both our goaltenders are first years, they should be solid there.
We got pretty good group of returning players, Im
hoping theyll do their best to show the younger first
years the path out there.
Knudsen wants to ease the players into game day
form, by coaching the basics of the game such as
puck and skating skills, which he hopes will help in
getting the players on the same page early on.
Were just going to keep working on skills, said
Knudsen. Especially at the start of the season, just
to get everyone moving and up to speed and eventually start working as a team. Its a long summer
sometimes and these kids havent been on the ice a
whole lot yet.
The staff will expect the players to work hard every night, but will not make the players intimidated
right off the bat and punish them.
At this age you cant punish kids, said Knudsen.
You cant hold it against someone for a mental error, but as long as theyre working hard for me and
the coaching staff, well do well, and in return their
development should go well.
The Braves play their home opener on Sept. 25

The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks Junior A volleyball team is a youthful squad that will have to be
patient and learn the fundamentals this season
on the court.

Hawks volleyball look to have strong seasons


JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks volleyball teams have
many new faces on each of their teams, but the coaches see
a lot of poise and dedication to have success on the court
this season.
Id say the strength is youth, said Junior A boys coach
Tomas Rochford,
We do have a few big middles which is something we
havent had before. Itll be very much a development year
because we only have two returning starters. The rest either
didnt play before or they played on the B team. Itll be not
quite as strong to start the season as last year.
Rochford added that with a fairly inexperienced squad
that there will some basics techniques taught to the players,
and he knows there will have to be patience shown by the
coaches in the development process.
A lot of just starting with the basics, said Rochford.
Probably being patient with them as they learn the basics, getting the rotation out and getting used to each
other on the floor for the first month.
He thinks where the teams success lies is with their height
but cautioned that players will be hitting them more aggressively compared to B level, and this is where positioning
will be key.
I think thats the major thing in progression of volleyball,
is it always gets faster, he said.
Its similar to hockey in it always gets faster and the ball
comes harder and positional play and technique is so important. If youre thinking about all that and playing at a
high level youre going to lose because it has to become
automatic.
For Jason Burns Junior B squad, his players are eager and
ready to learn the sport and are excited to see what that attitude will produce on the court.
Were excited, said Burns.
I think three or four Grade 8s are on there, mainly Grade
7s and theyre excited to get that first game or two under
their belt and settle in. Were going to work a lot on communication with each other, were going to work a lot on serves
making them count and the big one is service reception to
avoid getting pinned in.
Burns said that the biggest goal will be learning to bump,
set and put it over the net, as he is not expecting techniques
such as spiking to be perfected just yet.
He hopes that the early tournaments on the road will give
them momentum into winning their home tournament in
late October.
Senior boys coach John Reinhart will have a few decisions at many positions this year as size at the net will not
be on their side compared to previous years.
Being a little bit shorter from last year, were going to
have to create some offence, said Reinhart.
Well still be able to block but were going to have to play
defense behind the block. If we can create some offense
then the other teams wont be able to set up on us as much.
Reinhart added the players will learn the senior level fairly
quick with the pace of play as the ball will be coming at
them a lot faster than in junior high.
It going to be quite an experience because everything
just happens so much slower at the junior high level, he
said.
Theres not the quantity or quality of hits that youd see at
senior high where you have six players that can hit.
With the players available on the roster, there will be a
feeling out process as to where players will fit in but Reinhart thinks early on in league play will be a good indicator
as to who he will go with in matches later on.
I want to see whos a player, said Reinhart.
Its a bit of a feeling out process. I obviously want to
win if were getting that success and winning, doing well

part way through the season, Im totally satisfied with that.


I want to see who those players are, I want to give those
Grade 10s a chance to get on the court under pressure and
learn the systems.
On the girls side, Alex Hutcheon has seen a lot of growth,
which is leaving him with some optimism that the Junior Bs
will win games this season.
There was honestly no rust at all to knock off the chains,
said Hutcheon.
They were right ready to go. Their skill level is phenomenal for Grade 8 girls for sure. Ive set the bar high for these
guys just from these last two practices.
His goal for the team is to hopefully win at least one of the
four tournaments and it would be a bonus if they can win
the home tournament.
Vito Perainos Junior A Girls team will have a lot of club
volleyball players on the roster this year and it will be quite
a strong unit that will have experience on the court.
The team seems fundamentally sound so far, said Peraino.
The fundamentals automatically leads to good team
chemistry and when you have good team chemistry, everything comes together after that.
Peraino added that with the experience gained from the
club level the girls are dedicated to playing and the expectations are higher than they were at previous volleyball levels.
You can see the desire to play, said Peraino.
Having a club team in the community has increased the
skill levels of the girls that are coming out. I think in the
past you mightve seen Grade 9 girls for example make the
team and more of the Grade 8 girls wouldve beat them out
but because of so many of the Grade 9 girls playing club this
year, there was that big difference in skill level.
He coached the B level last year and said the intensity
will be the biggest difference he will see going into coaching the A team this season, because of going from teaching
a lot fundamentals to coaching more experienced players.
Were bringing it up a notch, said Peraino.
Weve already told the girls the intensity is going to be
the same thing as it is in club season. Were going to be
pushing these girls to play as if it was a club team. No point
waiting until club season to do that, this is a school team, we
want to do well as a school, whether its a community, Holy
Cross or Strathmore.
The senior girls team are developing into a young, energetic team that have already seemed to gel early on in the
season and coach Josh Jalbert is excited to see what the
season unveils for the team.
Its a fun group, said Jalbert. Everyone enjoys each others company. Weve already had a lot of fun in practices, its
a very upbeat positive team.
The team has a lot of new players and there will be a lot
of systems to go over. Its a matter of getting girls adjusted
in practice because the pace of play is quicker than at the
junior high level.
Its just getting accustomed to a little bit quicker volleyball, said Jalbert.
Our passing especially off the serve, moving our feet a
little but quicker, thats kind of the main thing.
Jalberts main goal for the team is to be competitive at
zones and considers that a high point in the season.
Holy Cross Collegiate have created a Junior C girls development league for those who are new to the sport and want
to learn the game, and Jalbert is thrilled to give those girls
extra gym time.
Im really excited about it because it just gives the girls
the opportunity to get out and get lots of touches, he said.
No one got cut which is awesome and you can develop
all these different players. First off, its great for these kids
to be involved in extracurricular and second of all give them
the opportunity to play more volleyball. Its something thats
really popular in our school.

Howard grew up on the family


farm at Maple Creek Saskatchewan, until the
age of 15. At this time, Howard left the farm with
the neighbour boy and caught a freight train to
Lethbridge, looking for work. They soon found
themselves out of money and food. The boys
found a dead calf, skinned it, and sold the hide
to get enough money to rent a room and have
a meal. After resting for a day, they went to the
employment office and applied to be truck drivers, as they didnt want to farm anymore. The
employment officer took one look at them and
knew they were farm boys, so he sent them to
a farm near High River to stook grain (currently
known as combining). For the next few years,
Howard worked on farms all over Alberta before
coming to Strathmore. During the 1950s, he
worked for M & M Drilling and spent the next 20
plus years drilling water wells and going north
doing seismograph. In 1950, while working in
the Wetaskiwin area, Howard met Harriet, and
later married in 1951. The oldest child, Brian
came along in 1952, followed by Kenny in 1955.
Before Howard permanently settled back in
Strathmore to raise his family, he lived in Leduc,
Wetaskiwin and several other small communities and rounded out the family with Colin born
in 1959 and Teresa born in 1964. Howard continued to work with M & M drilling except for a
short stint with Grays excavating and the Town
of Strathmore public works. He then decided to
venture out on his own, at which time he set
up a vacuum truck, which he worked for many
years. After selling his vac truck and retiring for
a few years, he decided he wasnt quite ready
for the leisure life. He then purchased 2 gravel
trucks, a bobcat and backhoe which he used on
a job for the construction and twinning of Highway #1. When Howard decided he had enough
of the gravel truck business, he was asked by
mayor, Tom Gray, to help Strathmore with the
residential garbage contract. After a few years
of this, Howard and Harriet started travelling
south to Yuma for the winters, leaving the family to look after things. In 1990 Howard retired
completely, as this allowed him to setup and
sell many acreages. They moved from 4th ave
to the corner of hwy # 564 at Nightingale and
moved on a mobile home. Years later, Howard
decided he needed a shop, so he put the acreage up for sale and bought the property at manderly sod, where he added living quarters to the
shop. In 1999, Howard suffered his first stroke
in Las Vegas. This led to the sale of the acreage
and moving to the Nightingale area once again,
where family could help out. Howard and Harriet lived there together until Harriets passing in
October of 2002. Howard continued to live in the
Nightingale home until his move to the Wheatland Lodge in January of 2013. While living in
the Lodge, Howard befriended Alice Nichol, who
became a very special friend. They were inseparable from the day they met. Up until the last few
weeks, Howard was known for his pranks and
jokes. Howard suffered a heart attack which led
to his passing. Howard was predeceased by his
wife of 50 years, Harriet; mother Mable; father
James; sister Joyce; son Brian; Grandson Brian
Jr; and Great granddaughter Lincoln. Howard
is survived by his sisters Irene Murray and Elsie (Milton) Henry; brothers Melvin (Charmaine)
Huxted and Gordon Huxted; children Ken Huxted
(Terry), Colin (Bonnie) Huxted, Teresa (Neil)
Fuchs; daughter in law Linda Lothian; grandchildren Heather (Alex) Day, Rosemarie (Scott) Morrison, Laurel (John) Ferraz, Sean Michaels, Cody
(Christine) Huxted, Kimberly (Graham) Fitzsimmons, Jamie Huxted, Lindsay Huxted (Cody),
Kayla (Gordon) Davidson, Christopher Fuchs
(Pauline); and great grandchildren Cymantha
Lee, Natasha Anne, Seth, Holden, Shayana, Aryela, Kyle, Jaken, Blakelyn, Leah, and Damien. A
funeral service will be held on Friday, September
25, 2015 at Hope Community Covenant Church
at 2:00 p.m. To send condolences, please visit

Mortgage Matters by Strathmores Mortgage Specialist


Mortgages versus credit cards are you at your limit?
Most people who own a home have a credit card. You need it for all kinds of major purchases: a new TV, building a
new deck, maybe even new appliances or better yet, a much needed, well-deserved, yes you earned it, kind of vacation.
Everyone knows that the best thing you can do is pay off the credit card every month. So a few months have gone by and
that credit card balance is still there. Now wait a minute, something else happened to you and your life and that credit
card balance is still there. Time has slipped by and you have been carrying a $15,000 balance on your credit card at 21
per cent interest for months now. No big deal, I will just keep making the minimum payments.
Yes you must make the minimum payments - but it will not get paid off this way. Its not entirely your fault. You make
the some money, have the same expenses, live the same lifestyle, and the lottery is just not working the way it used to.
If you own your own home, consider refinancing. If you are able to to pay off all these credit lines and debts owing how
would that make you feel. If you have a mortgage of $300,000 and you are able to add $15,000 to it and pay it all off at
3 per cent, the savings can be huge and the impact to your life can be substantial in two key ways. First your going to save
money in what you pay in interest. The second and most commonly overlooked piece to this is that
you will reduce your overall payments as well. So not only will you be saving money you will free
up more cash which you can use in any number of ways including paying off your mortgage faster.
Do yourself a favour, review your credit card statements. Go back as far as you have to to the first
month when you started carrying a balance over zero. If that was more than three months ago or
your credit card is at its limit, give me a call youll be glad you did.
