Rockyford celebrates
100 years of history
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter

The Village of Rockyford will be hosting its

centennial on June 29 to mark 100 years since
the village was approved as a municipality.
Carnival day Settled in 1913, some of the first pioneers
of the Rockyford area included George Hope
Johnstone, Henry Cullen, the Hines families
Page 19 and William Rudd, to name a few.
Legal surveys of the area were completed
on Feb. 6, 1918 and were registered with land
titles on Aug. 3, 1918. On March 28, 1919, the
Village of Rockyford was officially approved
as a municipality by Alberta Municipal Affairs.
“It is my belief that any continued event of
100 years deserves recognition and with the
greatest amount of gratitude belonging to the
forefathers of this community; without their
Venom vs Axemen ideas and determination our village would
not exist,” said Darcy Burke, mayor of the vil-
lage. “And today, as the sons and daughters
of those pioneers and stewards of this com-
munity, we find it necessary to celebrate their
accomplishment.”
With approximately 327 current village

JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
Several youths from Strathmore brought home awards
from the Alberta Provincial Music Festival, held May 26 to
June 1 in Edmonton.
Musicians, singers and choirs from Strathmore participat-
ed in the festival.
According to Loralee Laycock, director of the Strathmore
Children’s Choir, to qualify for provincials, students are rec-
ommended by the adjudicators who see them perform at
their local festivals.
“These students all competed in the Drumheller and Dis-
trict Festival in March, and were recommended from that
festival,” she said. “They also all competed in the Strath-
more Performing Arts Festival, but as this was our inau-
gural year, we were unable to recommend competitors to
provincials. Hopefully some of them will be able to attend
provincials from the Strathmore festival starting next year.”
At the provincials, Parker Riou (12) placed first in Musical
Theatre Ballad 12 and under; Rayanne Laycock (17) placed
second in Alberta Excellence Musical Theatre; Shelby Lay-
cock (16) placed second in Musical Theatre Up-Tempo 16
and under; and the Strathmore Children’s Choir - Finale
placed second in Community Choral 19 and under.
“It’s always exciting when local performers place at the
provincial level, as most of the classes include 28 to 30
competitors from all over the province,” noted Laycock.
Other youth from Strathmore who participated included
Susanne Sevcik (16), Musical Theatre Ballad 16 and under,
and Girls Vocal Solo 16 and under; Janet Ying (15), Piano
Solo 16 years and under; Julian Wiley (13), Grade 7-8 Piano
Solo; and Elizabeth Muller (11), 12 and under Piano Solo;
and the Strathmore Children’s Choir – Encore, Community
Choral 14 and under.
Ying, Wiley and Muller are students of local music teach-
er Carolyn Steeves, who said her three piano students all
did very well this year, despite not placing first or second
in the competition.
“This was Janet’s third time performing at the provincial
festival; she placed second in 2016 in Piano 12 and under,”
said Steeves. “Although Janet didn’t place first or second in
her class of 16 Albertan pianists, she is being featured in
the third season of Arts on 817 in their Strathmore’s Emerg-
ing Artists concert on May 2, 2020. She will be joined by
Rayanne Laycock and Suzanne Sevcik, two more of Strath-

Steeves added this was Wiley’s second time at provin- bob.sheddy@century21.ca
cials and Muller’s first provincial music festival experience.
“Athough (Muller) didn’t place in her class with 14 Alber- KaraLee Foat, MA Co-Owner/Broker
tan pianists, she was very motivated by the experience and PowerRealty.ca 587-390-0596
hopes to compete in the same class again next year.” karalee.foat@century21.ca
Laycock said it is important for children and youth to be 403-983-2121
involved in music studies and competitions. “Music studies 123 2nd Ave,
Strathmore, AB
are important for children because they can express them-
selves creatively and connect to a part of themselves that
they may not find in another way,” she said. “In my studio
and with my choirs, I try to approach competition as an
opportunity to contribute to their creative process. Instead
of focusing on the end-goal, we talk a lot about the pro- Strathmore

cess. What did we learn from the experience? Are we better
performers because we have allowed ourselves to receive
feedback? I hope the answer is always yes.
“So, while provincial nominations and placements are an

and feel positive about the experience,” added Laycock. “As
a teacher, I learn so much from attending festivals and hear- • Complete / Partial Dentures

months. For instance, Parker Riou is singing the national
anthem at an upcoming event, and Rayanne Laycock will be

“They stay busy and are always excited to get going again
in September.”

and is currently taking registrations for the 2019-20 season.

Ambulance shift demands causing
worker burnout
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Wheatland regional partners are taking steps
to get Alberta Health Services (AHS) to eliminate
paramedic job burnout due to “core/flex” work
schedules at Wheatland and Adjacent Districts
Emergency Medical Services Association (WADEM-
SA, also known as Wheatland and District EMS).
They want to discuss the issue with AHS, contact
the local MLA on the issue and write a letter to the
new provincial health minister. They say there is a
need for AHS to fund the changes that eliminate
the core/flex shift schedules and replace it with
shifts that have more humane hours.
“These staff members are very busy and the staff
on these shifts rarely get a proper night’s rest, and
often have to book off duty for fatigue and safety
measures,” said Darcy Burke, a member of WA-
DEMSA. “When management is advised that a staff
member needs to book off, they have to take the
unit off the road to give those members an eight-
hour rest period. This reduces the resource capa-
bility to respond to emergencies.”
Rob Witty, WADEMSA’s operations director, has
repeatedly brought the issue to the AHS coordi-
nation meetings, but no changes have occurred.
Letters were written to the previous Alberta labour
minister and health minister, but there was no ac-
tion taken on the issue. In spite of the pleas for
change, the previous Alberta labour minister al-
lowed variances to labour regulations, so some
services could keep using the core/flex method.
“This doesn’t even meet current labour stan-
dards,” said Burke.
The core/flex schedule requires basic life sup-
port medics to work a 24-hour shift for four days
straight, followed by four days off. Each shift day
has core hours, shift floating core hours and shift
standby hours. Staff is paid for 12 hours, and get
overtime only on calls responded to after the 12-
hour allotment. Critics state the practicality of the
core/flex shift is flawed, because it doesn’t take
into consideration how many hours the employee
has remained awake.
Witty said 10 years ago, when there were less
calls, it generally worked. But today, with the cur-
rent call volume, this method does not allow staff
proper rest or family time. The shift endangers pa-
tients and worker safety, he said. WADEMSA re-
sponded to 3,877 calls last year.
“I am seeing, for the first time in 30 years, burn-
out and health problems in young medics,” said
Witty.
Witty said core/flex is not only affecting staff, but
fatigue management for ambulances is required in
order to book them off to get proper rest, which
means an ambulance is out of circulation during
recuperation time. It means there are fewer ambu-
lances to respond to Wheatland and Calgary area
emergencies.

sioned a study in 2018 by Jennifer Short, PhD:
The Impacts of Extended On-Call Hours on the
Functioning of Paramedics. The study concluded
that interrupted or insufficient sleep causes sleep
inertia that impaired performance and reduced the
medic’s concentration on the tasks at hand. The
study stated sleep deprivation and sleep fragmen-
tation cause cognitive shifts and impacts paramed-
ics’ delivery of service, client care and public safe-
ty. A BioMed Central article, posted online on Aug.
20, 2018, outlined a German study on EMS work-
ers’ burnout that applied to working regular shifts.
It found a 40 per cent burnout rate for paramedics
working a 48-hour shift. The University of Regina’s
Canadian Institute for Public Safety Research and
Treatment did a study on Canadian emergency and
RCMP member’s suicide risk and found paramed-
ics had a 9.8 per cent increased suicide rate over
the general population. This does not account for
all the other job hazards paramedics experience
on a daily basis, such as a vehicle accident while
responding, infection risks from patients, lifting
and fall injuries, and dealing with workplace vio-
lence. Those are factors that can’t be controlled,
but changing core/flex to a regular 12-hour rota-
tion is one avenue AHS could use to reduce burn-
out for local medics, said WADEMSA.
In regular 48-hour shifts and core/flex shifts,
medics are paid for a 12-hour period. There are
only three locations in AHS Calgary region, and
the other two locations have fewer call outs.
Burke said he wonders if WADEMSA is being
treated differently because it contracts AHS ambu-
lance delivery.
“The biggest part for me as a municipal leader
is I always try to work on the pretense of fairness
for everybody. When we compare WADEMSA to
AHS… fairness is not there. If this shifting is all
right, why is it not in place for AHS employees?
Why is core/flex not being used there? Obvious-
ly, they have seen that it was not productive to
have staff work on core/flex shifting and they have
moved away from it,” said Burke.
Burke and Witty said the fallout of core/flex is
making employees think about leaving WADEMSA.
“Now we are getting in a pickle. Our staff has
had it. They are tired and they are being over-
worked and over tasked. This needs to be fixed
and it needs to be fixed now,” said Burke. “We
have a very low turnover of staff. We have lots of
long term employees. They are some of the fin-
est employees you could have. They are commu-
nity people and we see them out and about in
our community. They are excellent people and we
don’t want to lose any one of them because of
this.”
Wheatland County gave their support for let-
ters and discussions with government officials and
AHS. There is a request for an AHS representative
to attend the July 15 regional municipal meeting.

Just over a year after the organiza-

of the Children (GOC) will be hosting
their inaugural Empower the Children
Charity Ride on June 15 to help raise
awareness and funds for the benefit of
children dealing with abuse in Strath-

A branch of the international GOC,
Strathmore GOC offers the same servic-
es as other chapters, including partner-
ing with agencies within the community
such as the police and child protection
agencies, to provide supplemental sup-
port for children in need. This includes
working with families of abused chil-
dren to set up a specialized program to
benefit the child, such as escorting the
child to and from school and even class
(with school consent), accompanying
the children to court to offer support
and reminding the child they’re not
alone. The organization has also set up
buddy benches at schools in the com-
munity where a child can sit if they’re
feeling alone, left out or need someone
to talk to – other children learn to watch
for someone sitting alone and can be a
buddy to them.
“There are some principal ways that
we seek to help – the first is through
raising awareness in our community
of the reality of child abuse in all its
forms and helping people to learn how
not only to recognize it, but what to do
when they have concerns,” said Strath-
more GOC president, Padre, who asked
to have his road name used.

Carnival day at Wheat-
land Lodge
In celebration of Strathmore Senior’s Week,
June 2 to 9, many free events were held
throughout town for seniors to enjoy. A car-
nival day was held at Wheatland Lodge with
help from Crowther Memorial Junior High
School Grade 9 students who helped run dif-
ferent carnival games such as floor curling,
pool noodle hockey, beach volleyball, horse-
shoes, water balloon games and more. Par-
ticipants could also get their faces painted,
enter into draws and contests, and indulge in
some carnival snacks. Penny Girouard shows

Western Irrigation District
- Pat and Diane Cammaert
JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
Pat Cammaert’s family originated in
Belgium. His grandfather Emile was
born in 1902 and came to Rockyford
in 1919. Pat’s grandmother Jeanne
Scheepens was also born in Belgium.
Emile served Wheatland County as
reeve and councillor for 50 years, and
was one of the original directors of the
Western Irrigation District. Pat’s father,
John was born in Calgary in 1928, and
attended local schools in the
Rockyford area before con-
tinuing his studies at the uni-
versities of Saskatchewan and
Alberta, taking science.
Pat’s maternal grandparents,
Alphonse Noy and Wilhelmi-
na Bossman, originated in the
Netherlands. Following their
wedding, they came to Al-
berta on their honeymoon and decided
to move here. They moved to Rosebud
to farm in 1927, and Pat’s mother Jean
was born in Drumheller three years lat-
er. Jean was academically inclined, ob-
taining multiple scholarships before at-
tending the University of Alberta. Pat’s
parents met during the 1949 Calgary
Stampede, and were married in 1951,
producing four children. Pat was born
in Calgary in 1952, and attended school
in the Rockyford area before graduat-
ing from Strathmore High School in
1972, then completing his BSc in agri-
culture in 1975.
Pat then took over operation of the
farm and John became service manag-

not realizing that the last person to pick
up the pipe carried the weight of all the

Irrigation has permitted Pat and Di-
ane to have a huge farm garden where
they have grown vegetables to fill their
table, even trying commercial produc-

The Cammaert family’s commitment
to irrigation will remain strong in the
future, as it is a valuable asset that
provides great benefit, when properly
managed, to keep costs low.

Trio of Badgers make Team Alberta
MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
Three members of the Strathmore
Badgers bantam football team will rep-
resent Team Alberta at the U16 Western
Challenge later next month.
Locals Brady Johansen, Jack Warrack
and Bennett Salmon were selected to
the team after taking part in Football
Alberta’s inaugural Junior Bowl on May
20 in Calgary.
The trio made an impression for Team
South – which defeated Team North 14-
13 – and were invited to play for Team
Alberta.
“Making it on to Team Alberta feels
really great,” said Warrack. “It’s one of
the best teams someone my age can get
to. It also feels good to know that you
are one of the best in the province at
what you do. I think I’m most looking
forward to just seeing what kind of tal-
ent is in the other provinces as well as
just spending time with the team.”
According to Warrack, it was a pres-
sure filled game and one mistake could
have cost their team a victory.
“The game went pretty well,” said
Warrack. “I felt like I showed the coach-
es that I can perform not only in prac-
tice, but in real game scenarios as well.
After playing, I really felt like a more
polished player. The coaches were real-

ly good and knew exactly how to coach
you for specific position. The game also
really put into perspective how many
other great players there are out there.”
According to Salmon, it was an hon-
our to represent Strathmore and the lo-
cal football program.
“I feel really privileged,” said Salmon.
“It also makes me really proud to be
from a great football program like we
have in Strathmore. I’m looking forward
to the competition between all the dif-
ferent teams and I hope I learn a few
new skills I can use in the regular sea-
son this fall.”
According to Salmon, it took a few
plays to get a read on the competition
and more comfortable with the game.
“It felt really cool, but I definitely felt
the butterflies while sitting in the dress-
ing room before the game,” he said.
“The game showed me that momentum
is everything. There were moments in
the game when I was playing and the
other team just stopped us in our tracks
and took away all the momentum.
“So the next play you have to go back
out there and try not to overthink. (You)
just have to try and get the next first
down and once you get the first down,
try and get the next one, until you get
the momentum back.”
