Strathmore is quickly becoming a hub for prestige sporting events this year. First up will be the Alberta Cup in April and this September the Town will proudly be the starting point for the fourth leg of the Tour of Alberta Race. The Alberta Peloton Association is a nonprofit group that is bringing the Tour, which is Canadas first pro cycling festival. It will be held Sept. 3 to 8 across the province. This new pro cycling event is an international scale event that will attract the same level of athletes as the Tour de France. It will bring over 140 athletes to the province with an exuberant amount of additional press, tour operators and their entourages, said Tracy Simpson information officer for the Town. Strathmore has been asked to be a start community for the fourth stage of the race. The athletes will race from Strathmore on Friday, Sept. 6, and they will be finishing in Drumheller. It is roughly a 100 kilometre race and we are named The Dinosaur Trails. The Tour of Alberta will be funded by the Rural Alberta Development Fund, the provincial government and corporate sponsors. Travel Alberta is on board as a marketing agency and is providing marketing dollars to the project. As a start community, the town is being asked to help put on the start festival for stage four, which can look however the town sees fit. A local organizing committee can be formed to work alongside the Tour of Alberta to coordinate a festival that best represents the town and showcases the community to the world. Because we fall on a Friday its a great opportunity to engage our youth and get our schools involved so we might potentially need more people, said Simpson. No cash contribution is expected from the town. Instead, only in-kind services are being requested. The Town would be required to provide police services, public works services, any permitting required for a festival, EMS and paramedic services, residential and business notifications, toilets and portable washrooms, waste management and any signage and road closures for the race.

Payments. Everyones favorite part about insurance.
Lets go over how payments work this week. This is a topic of insurance that doesnt get discussed a whole lot. There are different payment options available, depending on your company. There valancy mitchell is 1 pay, 2 pay, 3 pay, 4 pay and Account executive monthly billing. Every company has their actual payment plan set up H Home differently. For example, you may be on a 4 pay plan, but you have to H FArm make each payment every 30 days H AuTo so your policy is paid in full within 90 days of inception. Or it could H GrouP be every 3 months. Its important ProGrAmS to discuss payment options with your broker so you are clear on H CommerCIAl due dates. What I would really like to H reCreATIon discuss is monthly billing. This H lIFe option works great for some people, but it is really important to make H TrAvel sure that you have your payment in the account to be pulled on Take ACTION the specified day of each month. Against High Reason being, if you get cancelled for non-pay (having two payments Premiums go NSF in one policy term) then you can be denied monthly payments for 3 years!!! Quite often when this happens, you will be required to pay the rest of your term off to keep your insurance in place, on top of your NSF fees from the bank AND the insurance company! From there, you may be eligible for a 1 or sometimes 2 payment option for the next year. So this is just a reminder, if you know you are not going to have money for payment, call your broker and see if you can make payment arrangements. It saves a whole lot of headache for you down the road.
After a bit of searching, and a bit of luck, the Strathmore Municipal Library is able to welcome a new, yet not-sonew, face to its staff. Rachel Dick Hughes has been working part time at the library as the Community Access Program (CAP) Youth Intern since the fall. On Feb. 8 she said goodbye to the role of Youth Intern and said hello to Director of Library Services on Feb. 11. The CAP Youth Intern was grant funded and it was fortunate that Dick Hughes contract was coming to an end when the new position became available. Ive gotten to know the patrons and the staff of this library while Ive been here and I absolutely love being here, I love my job and Im always excited to come in every day, said Dick Hughes. So the idea of being able to carry on and in a different capacity where I can implement some of my own ideas and really work more closely with the staff and the library board to make the library even greater its a really exciting opportunity. While there will be a bit of a transition and adjustment period into the new role, neither Dick Hughes or Assistant Director of Library Services Carmen Erison are very concerned.
Rachel Dick Hughes has become a familiar face in the Strathmore municipal Library in the past couple of months as the Community Access Program Youth intern. She will now be taking on a new role with the library as the Director of Library Services.

What I find is really spectacular about having Rachel come into this role after being here as a CAP Youth Intern is she brings an appreciation for our needs. Shes seen the interest in that technology, shes coming in knowing where our weaknesses are and where we can improve and so thats one thing she has a really great advantage compared to any other candidate that could have filled this role, said Erison. I can speak for the library board and the staff that we are very excited to have Rachel take this role as director. Although she is new to the industry she brings a fresh look on the library world and library services which is something that a small town library like ours can certainly use. Dick Hughes said she is waiting to hear the results of the needs assessment before really jumping on a few ideas she has brewing. She does know, however,
that she would like to see more programming being offered. The mission of the library is to provide opportunity for life-long learning so it is important to her to see that happen. Recently the library had been running technology courses with CAP and they were well received and attended. She would like to see more of those types of programs coming back and new ones being offered. I would love to see some kind of afterschool program, we have usually a rush of teenagers coming in about 4 p.m. and its really exciting they like the library but Id like to provide something for them thats an opportunity for learning but also really fun, said Dick Hughes. The results from the needs assessment are expected to be released this spring and future programming will then be determined.
Tour de Strathmore
Continued from Page 1 In return the Tour of Alberta will bring the event to Strathmore and will provide different revenue sources for the town as well as sponsorship opportunities and promotional opportunities, said Simpson. There will be a VIP section for dignitaries and corporate sponsors, and 150 travelling media representatives who will be following the race. There will also be international coverage from media sources who will be covering their racers. The Town will be provided with two 30-second public announcements to promote Strathmore This something that weve been trying to do for a long time to bring events to this town. Finally its come to fruition and I think this is a no brainer that we need to jump in and get right behind this and make it work because theres numerous things to follow behind it, said Councillor Earl Best.

In case of an emergency
Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter The second week of January found the Town of Strathmore opening an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) for the second time in two years. In 2011, a severe snowstorm resulted in area highways shutting down, which required an EOC and a reception centre to be established. Emergency crews were called to locate and assist those stranded on the highway. The most recent emergency was on a much smaller scale, but still required the establishment of an EOC. In mid January, Jesse Parker, Director of Engineering and Operations, was informed of a water line break event. Once the extent of the break was discovered, Parker called Linda Nelson, Deputy Director of Emergency Management. Her decision was to establish an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), and a fan-out call was made to Fire Chief Muir Furzer. At this point, the three of us reported to the EOC to make a decision on next steps, and determine what level of EOC was required, said Nelson. Once it has been determined that an EOC is necessary, the Emergency Management team looks at the potential impact to the community; based on the scope of the emergency, and whether or not there is an immediate risk to human life, property or environment, they will determine the level of the emergency event. There are three different levels of EOC that can be established. Level one is an information only level; the stakeholders in the situation are called in, and will then decide if the situation requires greater resources than are available to handle the situation. For example, when we responded to the call on Friday night, ( January 11, 2013), the Fire Department size-up resulted in additional resources being called, which meant contacting EPCOR. said Furzer. The situation then expanded beyond the scope of EPCOR, and the Emergency Management Team needed to bring in experts to deal with the situation, at which point the situation moved into a level two event. We had to formally set up a structure and begin coordinating all of the information coming in, and to coordinate all of the teams required to handle each different task, said Nelson. A level three means its an immediate threat to the community; a tornado for example. A tornado moves through town, destroys the community, and we immediately go to a level three; theres no discussion, we set up an EOC and we start taking immediate action. In the case of the water main break, the decision was made to go to level two, as there was a potential threat to property, and the fanning out process to bring in the teams required to resolve the event began. When the EOC team stated they were going into meetings, there seemed to be a perception that everyone was being called in from the field. This was not the case; the EOC is a pre-designated facility established by the Town to coordinate the overall agency or jurisdictional response and support to an emergency. It is the role of the EOC Management Team to ensure that site support activities are coordinated, and that departments and agencies have sufficient resources and direction to accomplish their missions. The structure of an EOC is like a pyramid, regardless of the level. For example, there is always a senior official in charge of an event, with support staff reporting up, said Furzer, It is basically an information transfer, with one person in charge the whole time. Once the situation is resolved, the demobilization phase begins, which means that all assigned positions are deactivated, log books are closed, all required forms, reports, and other documentation are complete. Preparation is made to provide input to the After Action Report, and so on. The guideline for how to handle an emergency comes from the Alberta Emergency Management Act.

Sponsorship granted for seniors book

Well Make You
Strathmore resident John Godsman has been writing bi-weekly columns featuring seniors in the area since May 2010. On Feb. 6 he put in a request to the Town asking for $500 to help with the costs of producing his new book. The book, The Seniors of Strathmore and Wheatland County is a compilation of the articles Godsman has written from May 2010 until Dec. 2012. I started this as a project when I was bored in 2010 and I thought it would maybe last six months, maybe nine months and here we are at the end of December Id written 54 articles. I have already written six for this year which will go into the next book which hopefully will be published in 2015, said Godsman. He started off by using the book Strathmore the village that moved to find his subjects and now people are contacting him with suggestions on who to write about. Godsman currently has 14 people in line for upcoming articles. Assist Business Centre has been compiling the articles into alphabetical order and preparing to print. I think its very good for the community that Mr. Godsman who will be able to complete this book and Im definitely in support of that and I would encourage the rest of council to support this as well, said Councillor John Rempel. After covering the costs associated with publishing the book, if there is any money left Godsman plans to have it put into a trust for the next edition of the book. He has no inter-
est in making a profit from it. Councillor Dave Hamilton moved to sponsor Godsman in the amount of $500. The motion passed with Councillor Best opposed. Road woRk scheduled A Request For Proposal for the engineering of Thomas Drive was put out to the public from Jan. 11 to Jan. 31. A 2013 project has been scheduled to see improvements made to the road. In 2013 that includes the engineering of the project as well as the construction of the project. We will need to secure an engineering firm for this activity based on construction requirements and the various systems that were planned to design and implement in Thomas Drive, said Jesse Parker, director of operations and engineering for the Town. At the close of the RFP request here were eight engineering consulting firms that indicated their interest in the project. SNC Lavalin Engineering Consultants was awarded the contract. Their cost was competitive, and Parker said they have a good understanding of the scope of work. The outline from SNC also will see Thomas Drive scheduled to reopen well before the Strathmore Stampede weekend, providing there are no delays due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. The project is expected to cost $235,010 plus GST. Fcss gRant Review committee Town council approved the terms of reference for the FCSS grant review committee on Feb. 6 before accepting five member requests. There must be two staff members and five residents who sit on the committee. Each member is appointed for a
three-year term, after which they must reapply to remain on the board. All of them must be residents of Strathmore, and officials from any organizations or groups who plan to apply for funding are ineligible to hold a position on the committee. Council appointed Randy Tiller, Sheila Crispin, Tracy Burkholder, David Collins and Robert Breitwieser to the first three-year term of the FCSS grant review committee. committee appointments The United Way has two new members of the public who will be sitting on the partnership committee. Kevin Keegan and Melanie Dale were both appointed to a one-year term. The Assessment Review Board is also welcoming a new face: Allan Auger will sit on the board for one year. Extensive training by the province is required for anyone who sits on the board. Training sessions usually take place in the spring. museum committee The museum committee board members met up after taking a bit of a hiatus. Councillor Pat Fule said they hope to set up a society so that grant funding may be applied for in the future but first they need 10 board members. Anyone interested in joining the committee can submit their name with the Town at 403-934-3135. Request FoR suppoRt The Wheatland and District Emergency Medical Services Association (WADEMSA) asked the town and the county for a letter of support to be sent to the Minister of Health Fred Horne. WADEMSA is requesting additional funds from the provincial government for the costs of ambulance support.

Theres an old adage that says Anticipation is the greater part of pleasure. It is quite true for some people. Looking forward to something can bring more happiness than actually buying it. Happiness can also come from spending money on others rather than on ourselves. Give it a try! Falls are a common occurrence in the elderly. To reduce them, consider the following: check the eyes for cataracts; check the home environment for possible risk situations; check medications. As we get older, our bodies handle medications differently. Perhaps a change in medication or dose may help. Low blood pressure could also contribute to falling. Get your pressure checked. NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), like ibuprofen and naproxen are available without a prescription. However, in the elderly, these oral drugs may not be the best choice for muscle and joint pain. Our pharmacists can direct you to a topical gel that would be a safer approach. When you receive a new prescription, its important to be familiar with the drugs name and its purpose. Our pharmacists will tell you how best to take it and of any food or drug interactions it may have. Also be familiar with the main side effects of the drug and how long the drug should be taken. What about missing a dose? Pharmacists are a great resource that you can use on your path to good health. Wed be happy to help you understand the medications you are taking and how to help you get the best possible outcomes from them.
New lease agreement for radio tower

The lease agreement for the radio tower in the west side of town was up for renewal. Included in the renewal was a proposal to raise the amount given to the landowner by 75 per cent. Were looking for a three-year lease and previously that lease has been for $2,000 per year. Theyve asked for an increase and weve negotiated an increase to $3,500 per year to compensate for various price increases and land value around the area, said Jesse Parker, director of engineering and operations. At the time of signing in 2004 that $2,000 for the approximate 100 acres was a very generous amount from the landowner as a recognition for the emergency services
that the town has provided to the owner. The lease that weve had in the past has been a very fair price and I would say a very charitable price almost to the town to a degree. The previous contract had been signed in 2004. This is the first official renewal of the contract and the first time the annual rate has been increased. A few minor changes with insurance and a couple of clauses were also made to the contract. Yes $1,500 a year increase might sound a little bit high but we have also had the advantage of having that tower there for the last almost 10 years very a very reasonable amount as far as the cost of it is concerned, said Councillor John Rempel. Rempel made a motion to approve the three-year lease, which passed unanimously.

Whats in a name?
Pat Fule Fule for Thought Names are very important to people. Over the years, Ive known people who agonize over picking just the right baby name for their new arrival. Sometimes these names must be kept secret, although I never really got why that was. I guess people might be worried that they have the best name EVER, and dont want the neighbours kid to also have it! Right now, I am teaching Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet to my Grade 10s. You remember how you were thrilled at studying the rich description of his words, the magic of his action, and the use of literary devices? Okay, well, maybe youre more like my Grade 10s than we thought theyre not exactly thrilled either. I tell them that Shakespeare is like bad tasting medicine that can be good for them, but they dont often buy that! Anyway, in this play Juliet is thinking of her newly found love, Romeo. They come from warring families, and their last names are a constant reminder of this bitterness. She actually thinks out loud about names, and questions why names have to be important. She says, Whats in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called. Well, Ill tell ya whats in a name, Will! Until youve been given a crappy name (or names) you shouldnt be ABLE to say whats in name! I believe I got ripped off in the name department. My parents told me (years later) that they never even HAD a name for me!! Oh no, I wasnt like the little kids whose parents tried so hard to get JUST the right name for their new bundle. Oh no, they had nada for me. In fact, I think a couple of days went by before they named me. Did they pick a name suitable for a young man, something other kids would say, huhcool name? No, their strategy was more simple they asked the doctors name who delivered me! Luckily, the doctors name was not Sheila, for all the effort that went in to THAT choice! They also decided to bring in our European culture to my naming. Now to me, that can often be the kiss of death for coolness. So I got the Irish name of Patrick, even though I was a mix of Hungarian and Slovenian! The MIDDLE name is my nightmare. Sure, it comes from an uncle I never met, and was probably to honour him, but Ill bet back in Europe, he never got TEASED in some horrible, crappy chant! This name will stay with me I cant trust even my 46 readers with it, as I could be betrayed. My own kids know it, and I always had to race to my classroom, as they often wrote it on my board! Sometimes Id miss it, and other students would ask, what the heck is _ _ _ _ _ _ ? I do try to keep it as secure as possible, but Ive learned Facebook can be deadly! My first name has been difficult too. I am not very formal or fancy, and have gone by Pat for years. This has led to confusion. In letters, resumes, e-mails, people often think Im a woman! My first teaching interview hit me between the eyes with this problem. I made the short list of three people being interviewed for a PE teaching job in Fort Macleod. It sounded great, but heres where I should have caught on (curse that PE Degree! ). The job was for all girls high school PE!! How could I possibly teach that, why would they want me? As we went in for the interview, it became crystal clear. No one had read my application OR resume carefully! In fact, a couple even looked stunned. THEY thought that because my name was mentioned as Pat, that I was a woman! They interviewed us, then left us waiting in the hallway. I listened through the door at the confused discussion, wondering what was next. Sure enough, they called us in one at a time, in order of being rejected. The first girl came out crying, then I was called. I congratulated the last one, and faced the music no all girls PE for me! So we were a little more careful on naming our kids. Deb decided their names would share letters which would make them closer. We also talked about alternatives. I may have said this before, but I AM getting older. We thought Brennens name should be Jett, then his name would be Jett Fule! Breanne couldve been April, April Fule! We even kicked around Diesel for Brennen and Morgan Taylor for Breanne then her first initials would read M.T. Fule you know Empty Fule!! LOL! So, for those of you who also arent thrilled with your names, I feel your pain. We do have options if you have a better middle name, you could switch to that one. Maybe you could like The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, change your name to a symbol! To those of you who are about to name your first baby choose wisely it will be your kid who has to live with it! I also had to discover all the words that rhymed with Pat, and based on my recent doctor visit, THAT one hurts the most! (Fule for Thought is a slice of life humourous column that appears in the Strathmore Times, written by long-time resident, town councillor, high school teacher, coach, husband and father of two Pat Fule.

Return from Australia

Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter Westmount Elementary School teacher Monica Major had always dreamed of going to Australia, and last year that dream came true. I have always wanted to go to Australia, I think part of it is you hear their accent and its cool, you think about the land thats so different from our land, so I have always wanted to go. When I was going to University in Red Deer I lived with a girlfriend and she went to Australia for four months, said Major. When she came back I was just, I want to go, I want go, I want to go, but I didnt know how I was going to afford to go. So when this came up and they said you can do this exchange for a year to Australia Im like well why not. Through the teacher exchange program Major essentially traded places, and lives, with Ali Collins. You change houses, lives, everything. What happens is I apply to our Alberta Teachers Association, she applies to her teachers association and then they look through and try to match you the best they can on where you want to be, said Major. She had an opportunity to say no, thats not where I want to go if she had felt so inclined. The idea is you trade houses, trading cars is not recommended, and you still have to pay for the upkeep of your own home, but then it was up to Collins to pay the utilities bills. If you do not want someone to stay in your house, then it is up to you to come up with an alternative, said Major. Major left Strathmore January 11, 2012 and returned January 4, 2013. I would recommend it for every teacher, everywhere to give it a go and try it because its not only that youre teaching in another school which is good but you get to travel too so why not, said Major. It is weird at first. At first youre super excited and its all new and you love it. Then it did get to a point where I was like, I am tired of living someone elses life, being in someone elses house, someone elses vehicle, someone elses school and sort of someone elses friends and family. They became your friends too, but theyre kind of someone elses. I was very happy to come back. Major teaches Grade 5 at Westmount and Collins is the Japanese teacher at her school in Australia. Major was given a choice on what grade she would like to teach so she went back to the younger students, choosing a reception-1 split which would be a kindergarten-Grade 1 class here. The school I went to was fantastic and I just fit right in, said Major. Curriculum wise I found it very, very similar especially because I had the little ones. They still need to know their ABCs they still need to learn how to basically count that kind of thing. One of the biggest differences was of course the weather. Indoor recess is held because it is

too hot, not too cold. Both here and there the students are required to spend 30 minutes a day doing a physical activity. Its a lot harder here to go outside and have that physical activity when you have to dress up whereas there I can just take them out whenever I want. You dont have to put on outdoor shoes, you dont have to put on a coat, you just go and you can run around and do whatever, said Major. The school year is broken up into four terms. Term one and four are during the hottest time of the year and the kids, all the way to high school, have to wear a hat with no exceptions on the school or grade. I think that was a big change, just sort of the weather aspect of it, the fact that youre outside so much more than you are here and the terms. Last year they divided the terms into 10 weeks. So we went to school for 10 weeks and then we had two weeks off, said Major. The school year also started in February, which meant Major was able to start and finish a complete school year with the same students. She loved the split of 10 weeks on and two off. By about 10 weeks, Major said, you start to get a little worn out and then the two weeks is the perfect refresher for the following weeks. The school focused a lot on literacy, and was big on classroom buddies, which is Cross-Age Tutor Students (CATS) so every classroom has another one paired with it. The buddy system is not new here, but Major said in Australia it is more of a specific program with the older kids trained for their role in it. While in Australia Major took in the sights and toured the country. When she landed in Brisbane she went to the Australia Zoo, home of former crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, where she held a koala. She drove the great ocean road on her second two-week holiday. She went snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, did a rain forest tour and a helicopter tour. Major also took a bus tour to see the Uluru which is a sacred rock to the aboriginal people and there are big stories that come from there about their culture. Major also went to the Kings Canyon and Sydney was her last trip. The exchange was everything she had hoped for and she plans to one day return to Australia, but her next plan is to see a lot more of Canada.

The Happy Gang is alive and active.
Wheatland County Council decided it makes more sense to invest funds in a new B6 dozer than put funds to repairs. The dozer needs transfer and drive train work, and Transportation and Infrastructure Manager Dave Churchill suggested the investment might not be worth it. There is a net benefit to buy new. It is just the right time to do it, said Churchill. The dozer had 12,000 hours of operation. It was off warranty. The motor repairs would cost about $67,000, and at resale the machine would only command about $71,000. The total bill to recertify it would be $150,000, whereas a new machine complete with new attachments is $391,000. As to accessing the funds, Churchill planned to bump equipment with less wear to a later replacement year. We have a reserve in our Capital purchases that was set up for situations like this, said Reeve Glen Koester. Dont delay other needs to do this. Council approved the purchase of the new dozer and will send the old one to auction. Public Works Bridge File 7918 in Redland is scheduled for shut down until June. Concrete barriers will be set up until guard rails can be installed. The remainder of contractor funds will be held until work is completed. Churchill indicated that recovery of $634,884 was obtained from the province, for bridge work completed in the county during 2012. He also commented on work submitted for consideration in 2013-15. Alberta Transportation pretty much agreed in principal to all of our requests, said Churchill. He commented that plow and sand crews had been out four to five times in January. Tree removal courses were complete. Gravel crews were working at the Therin pit and stockpiling at RR264, which should be completed in eight months. Crews would be participating in an Overhead Crane mechanical course. We just want to make sure that the crews are doing everything safely, said Churchill. Private snoW removal questioned. Councillors questioned Churchill about the rules concerning private citizens clearing snow from roadways in County areas.
Some well-meaning citizens had been plowing hamlet roadways with their own equipment. Councillors wondered if there was a bylaw concerning the procedure. Administration advised them that there wasnt a bylaw, but the issue fell under the road clearing policies. People have been in to talk to us, said CAO Jennifer Deak. It is a liability for them and us. There needs to be a work and access agreement in place and proper liability insurance to cover them. We told them they needed the agreement and they took the policy with them. Deak said without the signed agreement, citizens cannot use their equipment on the roads and it is essentially illegal. tenders oPened Rosebud pump and well house upgrade tenders were opened with three incoming bids. CDM Mechanical put in a final bid of $124,273 with a 110 day completion. NIB Developments tendered a $188,553.75 bid with 60 day completion. Everest Construction gave a $227,864.18 bid with 120 day completion. Council awarded it to CDM Mechanical. The second tender had four bids for the Rosebud Water Booster Station. CDM Mechanical bid $471,835.81, with a 160 day completion. AM McKay posted a $579,585.30 bid at 180 days to complete. , NIB Developments placed the lowest bid at $399,630 with a 90 day finish and Everest Construction posted $732,102 with completion estimate at 120 days. Council approved the low bid from NIB Developments. A tender for the sale of lots in Cluny received no applicants. WFcss moved in Completion of the administration building repairs was complete and Churchill confirmed to Council that WFCSS had moved into their new offices. They are settling in nicely and beginning to fit in, Churchill said. Wid and Water smart Mike Ziehr, Municipal Engineer Technologist and development officer advised council that the terms of reference had been completed and they were looking at proposals that would address the regions issues. A study of the feasibility of draining storm water and pinpointing appropriate drainage sites will be done soon. More information would be forthcoming after the February 22 meeting.
Annual Memberships and $25 and run from Nov to Nov. General Meetings are held every second Tuesday of the month at 1:30 pm and Pot Luck suppers are every 4th Tuesday at 5:30 pm.

Council agreed to several requests for decisions on Feb. 5. The first was a vote to keep bookkeeping fees for WADEMSA at $757.44. They also agreed to a 2013 requisition by Drumheller to pay a fee of $36.20 per capita, for those Wheatland residents using its solid waste treatment services. Marigold levy fees were agreed to, which remained the same as last year. A requisition from Wheatland Housing management was also approved. The 2013 Calgary Regional Airshed Zone Membership was deferred for consideration, pending a presentation to council in March or April. Councillors wanted more information on what benefit membership offered the County. Approval for the Strathmore Seed Cleaning plant loan passed second and third reading. I talked to the chairman. He said that with the nice weather most of the building is now closed in. Some of the machines are being installed and they are still waiting for some, said Councillor Ken Suave about the Seed Plant. 2013 seniors conference Councillors will be filling out a questionnaire about the needs of area seniors, in order for the Grey Matters Conference to develop a speaking agenda. Councillor Alice Booth said that last years conference highlighted the importance of developing measures for a safe community. It was a big issue across the province and we need to catch up on it, said Booth. The conference is a good place to find out what is going on. Especially when people are transferring from their houses into care facilities, it is a good seminar to see who is doing what. The conference was asking councillors to suggest groups and topics for presentations. Councillors suggested Making Safe Communities a public policy. Some of the local service groups were suggested as possible presenters. Gleichen war memorial Permission was requested to alter the memorial by adding names of soldiers that served in Afghanistan. Now that it is a historical memorial site, any changes require permission, said CAO Jennifer Deak. Council approved the additions to the memorial. narrow escape Councillors thanked CAO Jennifer Deak for her vigilance over council activity. In recent news, several officials have been called to task for purchasing tickets with municipal funds to attend political party fundraising functions. It is illegal for a municipality to donate to political parties. Last year, Deak warned councillors that such an action would constitute a conflict of interest and recommended that they could not request to have the County pay admission and attend as paid representatives of the County. Many thanks go out to Jennifer Deak, as she kept us out of hot water, said Councillor Ken Sauve. carseland sewaGe laGoon Councillor Ken Sauve questioned whether a public meeting, regarding the progress on the Carseland sewage lagoon, might be set up. Others questioned if that was necessary.
No meeting is needed and people can petition if they have concerns. A public hearing is automatic, said CAO Jennifer Deak when questioned about the appropriate process. Councillor Sauve said an open house or meeting would allow people to see how things will change, get information on how it is paid for and who it serves. He gave the example of the meeting held in Rosebud. It was pointed out that the Rosebud meeting was held because an emergency was involved. I think something like this affects people and it is our due diligence to have a meeting there. People commute and a meeting could catch people who can only attend in the evening, said Councillor Sauve. A public meeting is fine, but a public hearing is more formal having all the information presented, said Councillor Ben Armstrong. Council directed staff to check on the availability of the Carseland Hall for a public meeting and bring the information back to council.

2 April - A raid on Strathmores Chinatown (an extravagant title for what was really just a couple of businesses and a handful of people) resulted in arrests in what was called an opium den. Wah Shang was found guilty of possessing and using opium in the cellar of the Star Restaurant. Five other Chinese Canadians were found in the basement at the time as well. Wah Shang elected to serve jail time over paying the fine.

An Italian immigrant named Loretto Falli, but known locally as Mussolini, moved to Strathmore. He kept a barn behind his house on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Lakeside Boulevard. He was infamous for working his team of harnessed horses into a frenzy, and galloping them up and down Main Street. Local teens would pick on the troubled man, setting him into rages. He was eventually committed to the Alberta Hospital Ponoka for treatment of mental health issues.

Wanda Reinholdt & Sheila KonSchuh Hope Bridges Society Have you ever heard of Upcycling? It has become quite the rage all over the western world and it is a movement gaining momentum here in your community! The reason it is so popular is that it works against our modern consumer culture, is creative, fun and environmentally conscious. Instead of purchasing something new, consider the idea of repurposing. Upcycling is the art of taking an item that would be normally recycled or thrown away after first use and turning it into something that is once again beautiful, useful, pleasing to look at. These things can be used for economical gifts or to enhance any home. Best of all, this is something that anyone can do. Most of us are familiar with the way that grain processors burn waste materials like husks and stems to power their plants a process that has been around for a long time. But the latest idea of Upcycling became popular with the book called Cradle to Cradle in 2002. This book was written to encourage people to think about how they use things. As a result, entire pieces of furniture have been built out of discarded materials, bottles have become vases, buttons and computer parts have become jewelry and plastic bags have been made into yarn, just to name a few examples. There are many ways that you can be a part of Upcycling in your community: dumpster diving for the useful; re-using containers from lotions or food; joining groups who Upcycle and doing it together; developing a business. Although everything does have potential to be used in Upcycling, it is a lot of fun to imagine a new use for something. You may be surprised what you come up with! Whether you create something useful, beautiful, or both, reusing creatively is very fun and fulfilling. For an experience of Upcycling in your community, contact Hope Bridges at (403) 983-3640. We host weekly workshops with facilitator Johanna Jackins. All adults interested in going green are welcome!

From the survivors eyes

edie tomaSo Strathmore Relay for Life The day was still quite a blur but not the date - January 18, 2011 colorectal cancer - me? This cant be. Besides, I am not at risk and this is something men get right? Little did I know. I had procrastinated looking at a test kit my doctor had given me that just laid around the bathroom. You know the one. The FOBT, or home stool test. When I reluctantly decided to get it over with, I was to find out that it was one of the best decisions of my life. The test had found some abnormalities. I was referred to a specialist who removed a polyp for further assessment. When you get a call from the doctors office that he would like to see you, and there is an opening tomorrow, well, you know it just cant be great news. He told me like it is. You have cancer. But he had already arranged for a colonoscopy the next day. Several appointments later of a CT scan, MRI and further examinations, surgery was scheduled for Feb. 18. But this was not the end of it, another surgery was performed April 29. Things can move fast when you have cancer. I have to admit that I was calm throughout it all. The staff, consultants and surgeons are excellent and I had full confidence in their abilities. My family and friends were extremely supportive that I knew it would all be good in the end (no pun intended). My last specialist appointment was performed several months ago but strictly as a precautionary cleanup. I am a survivor now only having to go through annual follow-up. Early detection was the key. My message is simple. I would encourage you to have screening tests done as advised by your doctor. If not for yourself, please encourage your parents, grandparents, family and friends to have regular screenings. Generally, treatments is more effective when the disease is found early. And also, participate in fund raiser events to help find the cure (such as the Strathmore Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life). Dennis and I volunteered for the first time last year and we will be there again this year. We hope to see you there.

Hypnotist sure to put you under a spell at fundraiser

Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter On March 2 Strathmore resident Jaime Fairbairn is hosting a silent auction and bringing in a hypnotist to help raise funds for diabetes. Diabetes has become a global epidemic with the number of people affected rising each year. An estimated 285 million people worldwide are fighting the disease; more than 9 million of those people are Canadian. Fairbairn has run six races with Team Diabetes. This year the race is in Scotland, and Fairbairn has a goal of raising $6,100. The biggest thing is70 per cent or a little bit over goes directly to the organization out of the funds I raise and then anything over the $6,100 a hundred per cent goes straight to research, said Fairbairn. Team Diabetes is the fundraiser under the Canadian Diabetes Association and the races are one of their top forms of raising money and awareness. There is a list of both international and Canadian races that a participant can choose from. My friend from Ottawa is running in Scotland and he has diabetes. I met him at my first Team Diabetes event so we kind of coordinate our runs together now, said Fairbairn. I run to prevent type 2 diabetes because a few of my friends have been recently diagnosed. I feel if Im going to run I want people to know why its for a good reason. JR Matthew from Lethbridge will be performing at the event. Matthew has 12 years experience in hypnosis and has been a comedic performer for over 25 years. He promises a show full of fun for all ages and based on themes like Alien Abduction where youre on a camping trip becomes a journey with aliens and disco sounds. Currently Fairbairn has raised $3,200 out of the $6,100 she needs. The hypnotist and silent auction evening will be held at the Strathmore Golf Club on March 2. Two of the items that will be up for auction are two tickets to the Flames vs Predators game on March 15 in section 108 and a one-night stay in Banff for two. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by contacting Jaime at 403-901-0407. The doors open at 5 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Bringing back performing arts

Wendi TaShLikoWiCh Times Contributor The Strathmore Theatre Players are proud to announce that they will be bringing back their childrens program this year. They have held theatre classes in the past, but it has been a few years since the last session. The theatre group ran a day camp this past summer that was very successful, and have had a lot of interest since. Co-Chair Angela Reeves and Tanya Wolff, with the help of Tashina Hanrath and Laurie Motley, will be bringing the performing arts back to Strathmore and the kids. Aztec Real Estate has graciously donated a space to hold the classes, and registrations for the spring term are already being accepted. The classes will focus on basic acting skills such as vocal and physical warmup, improv and script activities as well as theatre games. Reeves and Hanrath hope to incorporate workshop days into the schedule where they can bring in experts in dance, musical theatre and costumes. The classes will begin on March 6, and run till the end of June where they will end the season with a stage performance. If you are interested in registering your child age 8-13, please check out their website at www.stptheatre.com, or contact Angela Reeves at 403-901-0182.

Hockey Day in GA was once again a success. In the past the weather has been a bit of a stickler, either being too warm or too cold. This year the sun was shining and it was the perfect day for the annual event.

Bring home some gold

Wendi TashlikoWich Times Contributor Local figure skater Kennedy Zaytsoff is home and trying to get used to the time change after her two week adventure in Pyeong Chang, South Korea. Zaytsoff is a member of Team Canada Special Olympics figure skating team which left for competition in the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games on Jan. 24. She and her mom returned home on Feb. 6, which they had to endure twice because of the time difference. Zaytsoff began skating at the age of five and began competing in figure skating main stream at the age of seven. The 17-year-old attends Holy Cross Collegiate and works as a program assistant with the CanSkate program. After years of mainstream competition and many medals under her belt, her coaches knew she was ready for something bigger. When she made the decision to start training for the 2013 Winter Games there was no stopping her. Her local coaches Leanne and Lindsay Woodcock (a national competitor) worked Zaytsoff hard. Kathy Chiasson, Kennedys mom is overwhelmed with the time and effort so many people have put in to her daughters training. Lindsay was instrumental in creating Zaytsoffs solo for the games; Lindsay choreographed and practised with her until it was perfect. Along with her local coaches, Zaystoff trains with Barabra Prytai in Calgary. The training schedule is intense, two hours on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with the occasional Thursday morning session thrown in. All of her hard work paid off when she returned home to Canada with two gold medals around her neck. Kennedy was entered in two categories at the Winter Olympics, free skate and dance. She came through the compulsory elements in first place for free skate where she went on to capture gold in her second day of competition. With a combined score in her dance solo she made it to the top of the podium again, taking gold in her division for dance. Zaytsoff said her favorite part of the games was the whole experience, and dancing in the closing ceremonies with gold medal winners Una Kim and Michelle Kwan. Zaytsoff was asked to skate in the closing ceremonies, which she was honoured to participate in. This added a lot of practices in preparation for the flash mob to Gangnam Style, which they performed on the last day of the Olympics. Zaytsoffs schedule didnt leave too much time to sight see, she had closed practices with Coach Janet Collins every day and scheduled time for visits with her mom. Between eating, sleeping and competing, she found some time to watch the Canadian team compete in speed skating. The Canadian figure Skating team stayed for the first few days in the host town of Asan at the University. They were then moved to Gangneung where the athletes village was set up at Gangwondo. Zaytsoff describes her living quarters as a mini apartment that she shared with other skaters. She often chose to eat rice for breakfast and lunch, but said the food

was good and consisted mostly of Korean BBQ. Chiasson is very proud of all the work her daughter put into this unique, once-in-a-life opportunity, she was also impressed by the wealth and life style of the Korean culture. Without the support of The Strathmore Skate Club she would not have been able to accompany her daughter on this trip. She will never forget everyone who helped make this possible. Zaytsoffs plans for the near future involve a competition at the end of March in Lethbridge and then continuing her training so she can attend the 2017 Winter Games that will be held in Austria.
Hockey Day in GA began a few years ago and has been growing each year. The hope is to see things continue along the same path. The day always falls on the national Hockey Day in Canada event which sees hockey players from across the country enjoying the sport. Pond Hockey is gaining popularity with skaters and their parents. It is a more affordable way to get your kids into the game. The fees are much lower, there is no travelling for games and players have the option to practise once or twice a week. All the coaches are trained by the Hockey Alberta program and all players are insured through them as well. The Hockey Day in GA Tournament took place on Saturday Feb. 9 this year, and was once again an all-day event. Each player paid an entrance fee of $5 which guaranteed them three games, a swag bag, a jersey and free lunch for them as well as their parents. Over 130 players were registered for the tournament, some came from as far away as Fort MacKay. Approximately 18 teams were busy playing 3 on 3 or 4 on 4, on the two indoor ice surfaces and two outdoor surfaces. The players, both boys and girls ranging in age from 4-17 had a blast doing what they love to do - playing hockey. The younger age groups played more for fun - the competition was there, just not in such a serious format, some teams didnt even keep score. Jason Strudwick, a retired Edmonton Oiler, was on hand to sign pucks and hockey cards. At lunch time the players were invited to skate on the outside ice with Strudwick, which was a highlight for a lot of young players. If you are interested in Gleichens Pond Hockey program, you can find more information on the Hockey Canada Website.

the season en route to the win over the Vipers. According to Kings bench boss Doug Murphy, it was also one of the most satisfying wins of the season. I think so, were still running a really short bench we had to affiliate players in the lineup, running three lines, the guys just absolutely stepped up, said Murphy. Were getting great efforts all the way around. The Kings, who are going through personnel issues and injuries, were once again led by their top line. Andrew Bergmann scored twice and Ross Fox added a goal and two helpers to pace the Kings offence. Austin Fisher and Chris Reed also scored for the Kings, while Sam Lonnberg added two assists. Goaltender Richie Hubbell was outstanding, making 43 saves for the shutout. I think Red Deer came in taking us lightly they didnt come out with a good warm up, so we caught them a little cold, assessed Murphy. Fox, Bergmann and Lonnberg were on fire and the other guys stepped up as well and contributing. Richie Hubbell was absolutely (unreal). This is his third season (with us) and that was the best game bar none that hes played for us. The Kings are now preparing to play a pair of statement games to close out the regular season. The team will travel to Cochrane on Feb. 15 before returning to face Medicine Hat the following day at the Strathmore Family Centre (8 p.m.). The fourth-ranked Kings will face the fifth-ranked Cochrane Generals in the Survivor Series beginning on Feb. 20 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre. Game 2 is in Cochrane on Feb. 22 and Game 3, if necessary, is slated for Feb. 23 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre. The winner of the series will face the top-ranked Okotoks Bisons beginning on Feb. 24, while Coaldale and Medicine Hat will face off in the other South playoff series.

Bisons back into playoffs

Mario Prusina Times Editor On the heels of a pair of losses, the UFA Bisons are backing into the first round of the playoffs. The local triple-A midget team completed the AMHL regular season with a 3-0 loss to the Lloydminster Bobcats on Feb. 9 and a 2-1 defeat to the Calgary Northstars the following day. The Bisons, who finished the season with a mediocre record of 16-16-2, will now take a week off while the rest of the league finish the regular season. Youre .500, so you never want to say that youre happy, but it has been a learning experience for us as a coaching staff and for the players, said head coach Jeremy Friesen of the regular season. We talked in the room how it has been a tale of four seasons for us we started out, we had the goalie issue we had to go through, restarted from there and had success, won six in a row. Then after Christmas, we hit the reset button again the Macs tournament didnt treat us very well and we came out and won four in a row. Now were heading into the playoffs, so we need to refocus, recharge, get rested and healed up and hopefully repeat that trend (after a break). Every time weve (reset after a break), weve had success and there is no reason we cant do it again. The Bisons opened the final two games of the season on home ice with a loss to the Bobcats, one of the top team in the North Division. It was one of those games where we got down early, assessed Friesen. In the second period we had a ton of opportunities again and their goalie made some big saves and again, we missed the

net and our power play didnt help us out that ended up killing us. After the loss, Friesen liked the way the Bisons responded the following day versus a very desperate Calgary Northstars team. Even though the Northstars took a 1-0 first period lead, the Bisons finally got on the board with 3:09 left in the second period, when Matt Forchuk converted a feed from Connor Boyd and Ryan Zeniuk. Despite dominating the play and outshooting the Stars 38-24, the Bisons gave up the final goal with 44 seconds left. At the end of the day, Im happy with the way we played today, said Friesen after the game. I thought we battled, competed really hard and kept things simple. We took pucks to the net and their goalie played really well. We missed the net on a couple of high scoring chances we had two breakdowns and they scored two goals. Despite not solidifying a playoff spot with a win, the Bisons heard shortly after their final game that the team chasing them, the Calgary Flames, lost to Lethbridge. As a result, the Bisons clinched the fourth seed in the division and will have home ice when they open the post-season versus the Flames. Game 1 of the best-of-three series is slated for Feb. 21 at the Strathmore Family Centre. Game time is set for 6:45 p.m. The remainer of the schedule will be released next week.

Warriors clinch first round bye

Mario Prusina Times Editor The Wheatland Warriors clinched a first round bye in the playoffs after a pair of victories this past weekend. The local double-A bantam team defeated the Red Deer Steel Kings and the Badlands Longhorns, improving their record to 18-8-5 on the season and clinching second place in the North Division. Led by Sarah Lecavaliers two goals, the Warriors started the weekend with a 2-0 road win over Red Deer on Feb. 9. With a solid defensive game, Wheatland limited the Steel Kings to just 10 shots on goal, giving goaltender Nelson Schiiler the shutout. The Warriors returned home the following day, clinching the first round bye with a 9-1 thrashing over the Longhorns at the Strathmore Family Centre. Chris Rebeyka registered a goal and three helpers to lead the way for the Warriors. Regan Kinley added a pair of goals, while Scott Desserre, Brad Hendricks and Rob Finkbeiner each added a goal and an assist. Kody Hammond, Reed Hickey and Andrew Bretin each added a goal, while Daryl Agerskov and Ryan Bell each chipped in with two assists. The Warriors will cap off the regular season schedule with a road game against Sylvan Lake on Feb. 18. Meanwhile, in provincial play, the Warriors advanced to the zone final with a 6-3 win in Game 1 on Jan. 31 and a 4-4 draw in Game 2 on Feb. 7 versus the Bow Valley Timberwolves. The Warriors will now take on Medicine Hat in a best-of-two home-andhome series in the zone final. Game 1 is slated for Feb. 22 (7:30 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre, with Game 2 on Feb. 24 (2:15 p.m.) in Medicine Hat. Braves respond The Wheatland Braves responded from a rare loss with a pair of wins this past weekend. The local double-A peewee team crushed the Medicine Hat Venom 9-0 on Feb. 9 in Hussar, before posting a 5-1 road win over Blackie the following day. The Braves, who improved to 26-3-1 on the season, will take on the Badlands Longhorns on Feb. 15 (7:30 p.m.) in Hussar, before finishing the season in Sylvan Lake on Feb. 17 against the Lakers. Meanwhile the Braves advanced to the Provincial Championship Tournament March 14-17 after a pair of wins over Cochrane. The Braves took Game 1 with a 3-2 road win on Feb. 4, before advancing with a 4-1 win on home ice in Game 2 on Feb. 11. Chiefs falter Any momentum carried by the Wheatland Chiefs during an extending winning streak has snapped. The local double-A midget team has dropped three games in a row, all on home ice, falling to 17-14-2 on the season. The Chiefs lost 3-2 to Bow Valley on Feb. 4, 5-4 to the Red Deer Pro Stitch on Feb. 7, before falling 3-2 to the CBHA Blackhawks on Feb. 8. The team is now preparing for their last regular season game on Feb. 16 in Cranbrook against the Ice. Despite their three-game slide in regular season action, the Chiefs pulled out a 6-2 home win over Cochrane in Game 1 of their provincial playdown on Feb. 10. Game 2 was slated for Feb. 14 in Cochrane (result was not available as of press time).
