2nd Floor of the Aztec Building 106 - 304 - 3rd Avenue, Strathmore
Shannon LeClair Times Reporter After losing government funding for approximately $10,000 per year, Toddle Inn Daycare is now looking at ways to make up those funds. The government used to give all accredited centres quality support funding every year to purchase specific items for the children. The Toddle Inn Daycare, has two programs. One is daycare, which would receive $7,500 a year to buy equipment for programming and training for workshops and facility upgrades. For the Out of school care program, which is in the same building, Toddle Inn received about $2,500 per year. The government cut the funding in April, and since then, Toddle Inn staff and the board have been looking at ways to find new funding. One idea that was suggested is a Community Harvest Supper. I thought about this dinner, I would like to host it twice a year, that way we can just keep the cash flow going for the Toddle Inn, said Lisa Hodder, a member of the Toddle Inn Daycare board.
Were just trying to get the community out and involved so they know about the Toddle Inn. Then we decided were going to have a cake decorating contest as something different. The harvest supper will take place at the Hope Community Covenant Church on Oct. 2 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. There are 260 pre-printed tickets; anyone who purchases a ticket in advance can enter that ticket into a draw for two WestJet travel vouchers. There will also be tickets at the door, but those will not be eligible for the WestJet voucher draw. There will be a silent auction of the cakes entered in the cake-decorating contest. Following a fall theme is the only guideline. The dinner will be turkey and ham with all the fixings, said Hodder. Wed like to raise at least $10,000 that would cover us for the next year for toys and (other costs). Butwere hoping to host this twice a year so that we can keep cash flow going. If we only raise $5,000 great, every little bit helps for the daycare, said Hodder. Toddle Inn is non-profit and is also a registered charity that was incorporated in 1981. The Alberta government
subsidizes daycare for parents who are lower income and who go to a licensed facility, which Toddle Inn is. The current facility is in need of upgrades, both to the building and to the toys and equipment the children use. Roxanne Jones, director for Toddle Inn Daycare, is concerned about potential fee increases, but says its a wait and see scenario right now. It depends on if the Harvest supper is successful. We have to do something, because if we really increase the fees then parents wont be able to come here, even with the subsidy, said Jones. The building needs new siding, it was built in 1981, so we would like to put new siding on the building and we would like to upgrade the computers. Tickets for the Community Harvest Supper are selling for $15 for an adult, $10 for a youth or senior. Family meal tickets can also be purchased, which includes two adults and for kids, for $40. IN order to be entered into the cake-decorating contest all cakes must be dropped off at Hope Church between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Oct. 2. Tickets can be pre-purchased at Toddle Inn Daycare or by calling 403-9345139.

Family reunions can be a lot of fun. Reconnecting with family members can also be a good time to learn more about your familys health history. It will help you answer your doctors questions like Is there any diabetes, heart disease or cancer in your family? Knowing about your familys health history can help you take preventive measures to keep yourself in good health. Keeping your eyes healthy is very important. Part of a regular eye exam is to have a dilated eye exam which allows the eye doctor to have a good look at the retina at the back of the eye. Some diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes and macular degeneration are often symptomless in the early stages but could be discovered with a dilated eye examination. Have you had your eyes checked lately? If you drink fat-reduced milk (skim, 1%, 2%), you arent missing out on any important nutrients. You will get no less calcium or vitamins in the low-fat versions. If now is the time youve decided to stop smoking, you might be interested to know you can start using nicotine replacement therapy like patches or lozenges while you are still smoking. If you are a heavy smoker, start with the strongest patch and you will find you will automatically adjust your nicotine intake from one source when you add another. Our pharmacists can help you with this. Wed be happy to help you stop smoking. Drop in an see us soon.

Brad Walls
I was raised in the Strathmore area and am a very family oriented individual. My wife, Chantel, and I have a wonderful 6-year-old daughter, Emma, and a dynamic 19-month-old son, Kaiden. My volunteer efforts in the community have included: Strathmore Agricultural Society, Strathmore Lions, and the Community Crisis Shelter. I was elected Town Councillor in 2007 and was a Town Council appointed member on The Wheatland Family Community Support Services, Wheatland and District Emergency
Medical Services, United Way and The Strathmore Agricultural Society. As a strong, forward thinker, my approach to Council is to get things done for the people of Strathmore, to strive for a strong, balanced budget and to keep the cost of living down. We are one of the higher tax paying communities around Calgary. I would suggest that we review the budget and see if there are areas where we can save and pay down our debt load. We need to maintain and improve our current road infrastructure, continue to develop bike paths, investigate options for possible water savings, and provide incentives for industry and business to locate in Strathmore. As well, we need to continue to develop affordable housing for our families. I am eager to resume my responsibilities as councillor if am elected.

John Whieldon
Living in Strathmore a majority of my life has given me numerous opportunities to volunteer and give back to our community. My family moved to Strathmore in 1976 in which I started my Grade 5 year. I went on to become a member of the class of 1984. I am happily married and a home owner. Throughout my many years in Strathmore I have volunteered extensively: as a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #10 (Strathmore), a former member of the Strathmore Kinsmen, coached a mixed slow pitch baseball team, assisted several local non profit organizations with fundraising, etc. I have been a member of two Town of Strathmore Committees: the Residential Irrigation Committee and the Names Committee. I am very fortunate in receiving the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay - Difference Maker Medal. For several years I have been licenced with the Alberta Solicitor General and Public Security Department. These credentials include Executive Protection, Loss Prevention Officer, Patrol Dog Handler, Security Alarm Responder and Security Officer. My wife Fina and I proudly call Strathmore our home. www.johnmwhieldon.com
Mark Giesbrecht
I decided to run for council this term for several reasons. First and foremost is my passion for my community. I am a lifelong resident of the Strathmore area and I wanted to give something back to the community that has blessed me with so much. If I am elected I want to focus on two primary themes; light industrial economic development and working with key partners to ensure no further cuts to our hospital. Elections are not just about issues but about people and trust. I believe that I am qualified
to earn your vote because of my familiarity with this community. I have ran a successful business (Wheatland Cellular Ltd.) in Strathmore since Sept. 2005. I am confident that many of the skills I have learned as a business executive will translate well to managing a growing town like Strathmore. I have political experience. I have served for the past two years as the executive vice president of the Strathmore Brooks riding association of the Wildrose Party of Alberta and worked as the volunteer co-ordinator on the Jason Hale campaign. I have been married to my wife Linda, a local girl from Standard, for 16 great years. We are committed to this community and want to see Strathmore grow in positive ways that will lift everyone up. This is my goal and I hope that I can earn your vote. Thank you and good luck to all the other candidates.
Doug Clarke
Hello, my name is Doug Clarke, and I am running for a seat on town council in the upcoming election. I feel that my experience in the municipal workplace, coupled with a commitment to building strong community, make me an excellent candidate. Residing in Strathmore for over five years has provided me opportunities to be active in the town. I have been involved with different committees such as Communities in Bloom and HEAL. I am a member of the organizing team for our local Tri
Denise Peterson
I have lived in Strathmore for nearly 30 years. I am married to Roger Nelson and together we have five children and seven grandchildren: Don & Susan Peterson (Peyton & Grady), Joe & Jodi Peterson (Zane & Cora), Barre & Jamie-Dee Adan (Madina, Yazmeen & Zahra), Sultan Reshid Nelson and Katlyn Nelson. Since 1984, I have worked for Golden Hills School Division as a teacher and principal, primarily at the Strathmore Storefront School. Currently I am enjoying working at the new
Siksika Outreach School. I am a third generation Albertan descended from western European homesteaders. I grew up on a farming/ranching operation in southeastern Alberta, and I embrace the pioneering spirit that built our Alberta communities. I believe that non-partisan municipal politics allows for the most meaningful dialogue between community members. I am seeking election because I have a strong desire to continue serving my community. I am committed to Advocacy for Seniors especially in the area of health services and affordable living. I am dedicated to managing our communitys growth in order to maximize opportunity for small business initiatives and to build sustainability for schools and recreation. Finally I would work to seek possibilities for collaboration among all levels of government in order to enhance services to our community.
Smore event and coach Brentwood Run Club as well as minor soccer. If you are in favour of the following ideas, I respectfully ask for your support; active healthy communities with access to many recreational opportunities for the entire family; thoughtful development that supports community wellness and attracts new families; a town council that is solution based and works with citizens, businesses and local groups; fiscally responsible governance that understands our customers needs; green initiatives supported and practiced by local government; a clear vision for the future of Strathmore and its residents. Over the next four weeks, I will be engaging the public as many ways as possible. For more information, follow me on Facebook and Twitter @ElectDougC where I look forward to sharing ideas with all voters.
Robert Antonisse
Hello, my name is Robert Antonisse and I am 33 years old. My family and I have lived in Strathmore for almost 10 years now and I have been blessed to work the last eight years in Town including the last five years I
have had the pleasure of working downtown so I have seen many of the challenges that the downtown core faces. Throughout my life I have worked in the service industry including restaurants and sales. I have developed a love for people and a passion for helping others. I enjoy solving problems and trying to come up with win-win solutions. It is because of this passion that I believe I would be an ideal candidate for Town Council. Thank you for your time and I look forward to seeing everyone in this exciting process to help shape our town!
Telisa Tebbutt
I have been a long-time resident of Strathmore and have attended school here from elementary forward. Being raised in a small town has allowed me to experience and get to know many different aspects of it. I have seen first-hand the good our community has to of-
fer, and am also aware of the issues we face, especially for the youth of our town. I feel I am an excellent candidate for council because I am a community oriented individual who can reach out to different corners that may have been neglected in the past. I will bring a different viewpoint to the table, with empathy and a fresh outlook that other candidates may not possess, while also complementing the skills they have to offer. I am a diversely interested and eager individual who is ready and willing to hear what the residents of Strathmore have to say; I look to represent you.
Allan Auger
My name is Allan Auger and I am running for a position on Town Council. My family used to vacation here in the 70s with my grandparents until moving here permanently in 1980. I have watched Strathmore grow from a population of around 1,500 to the size it is today
and although it has lost a little bit of that small town feeling, I feel it is still a great place to live and raise a family away from the big city atmosphere. I have worked in Strathmore most of my life with the last six years at Grays Ltd. Some of the things I would like to work on as Councillor would be building a greater commercial tax base as well as keeping our debt down so we can work on existing infrastructure as well as building new. I also think the town needs a center piece tourist attraction something along the #1 Highway and centered around our railway history. Thank you, Allan Auger.
Michael Ell
Thank you to the Times for providing this opportunity to all candidates. I am pleased to submit some of my history and information to you. My wife and I have lived in Strathmore for 35 years. We are now retired. Now that I am retired, I have the time to commit to the demands of being the Mayor of Strathmore.
My background includes work in public service and in private and corporate business. I was a manager of a financial institution, I have worked in commercial and consumer credit, and I have worked in individual, corporate and real property taxes. My work experience has been rounded out with local volunteer work and as treasurer on the Board of Directors for Lunch Box Theatre. Many citizens have approached me in the past three or so months asking if I was going to run again, and they encouraged me to do so. My wife and I have benefited from living in the Town of Strathmore over these years and this is my opportunity to give back to our community.
Steve Grajczyk
I am excited to announce that I will be running for Mayor again because first off, I have the time, the passion and my heart and soul are in this community. I have resided here in Strathmore for 35 years and served as Mayor for the past three. I have been on many boards and committees such as: The Strathmore Ag Society for which I served as President and General Manager; I coached minor hockey and soccer, I have ran two businesses of which have since been sold, I was nominated Sportsman of the Year with the Kinsmen Club when I was an active member. I have served on many other boards and committees, too many to mention. I think serving and volunteering that much time to the various committees says that I am a true, honest person serving your community of Strathmore. I am proud to say that I helped raise my family here in this beautiful community. I have two
great children, Ryan and Karie, and three wonderful grandchildren. As Mayor my obligations are to work amongst council, administration and you, the citizens of Strathmore. My job is being a liason working with council, administration and governments at various levels as well as being an ambassador at representing your town. I want to run for Mayor for one more term (four years) to complete jobs already started. First off, making sure that there is something being done with the acute care wing that has been vacated at the hospital (putting in more emergency extended care facilities or more acute beds), working with storm water issues, potable water infrastructure issues, sewer treatment plant issues, maintaining and upgrading our streets and infrastructure, plus also dealing with the many issues of the individual public citizens. Another major focus of mine will be trying to get our recreational facilities upgraded (ball diamonds, soccer fields, hockey arena, pathways etc.) while still trying to maintain a low tax rate. The above is what I do as Mayor and love it and I hope to continue to get some of these issues resolved so I would be extremely happy and honored to continue to serve Strathmore in a positive and constructive manner.
Colin Smith
My name is Colin Smith. I was born in Newfoundland in 1959, and I settled in Alberta in 1985. I started my own business in 1988 in Strathmore, Alberta Colins Automotive. However, while working full-time as a mechanic, I felt that I wanted to be able to contribute more to my community; I joined the RCMP as an Auxiliary Constable where I volunteered my time for the next 11 years. In 1991 I bought a large acreage outside
Standard where I lived for the next 17 years, raising my two daughters and taking a hand at managing a farm, alongside running my shop, volunteering with the RCMP, and helping out local work experience students from the high school. When the physical demands of the shop became too much (I still try to help out friends and neighbours at my farm whenever I can), I went back to school, and obtained my realtors license in 2006 and began a fulltime real estate career in Strathmore and surrounding areas. I know and love this community, and I feel that my close ties within it, as well as my life and work experiences make me a great candidate for Councillor for Wheatland County. I want to be involved in change within my county and this is how I want do it.

Kevin Miller
I have decided to run in the election for county council Div #2. The councillor for this area has decided to step down so we will need a hard working and honest representative in council to be the voice of the people. I would like to be that voice. I would also like the county to prosper and to have people see it grow into a strong and viable community. There always has to be a balance between the people and the county. The only promise I can make is that I will work hard and be honest with and for the people. On a personal note I would like to see more businesses in the smaller towns. I think this would inspire growth in the county. So dont forget to vote; they all count and are well appreciated. Thank-you all and I am looking forward to talking to you.
Ian Mast
My name is Ian Mast and Im running for Division 2 councillor for Wheatland County. Since moving to Gleichen in 2006, my wife and I have been involved in various community groups and activities. During this time I have worked for both Wheatland County and the local arena in Gleichen so I feel confident talking about issues concerning both Gleichen and surrounding areas. I have decided to run for councilor because I believe it is time for a new voice to represent
Division 2, a voice that speaks for hamlet and rural interests. We have issues that need to be addressed, issues that will have a definite impact not only on Division 2, but for Wheatland County in general. Questions about community development and sustainability, school closures, water rights for hamlets and the way the County handles these matters are some of the points I want to raise during this election. I welcome the opportunity to speak with as many residents of Division 2 as possible during this election and leave an open invitation for all candidates to meet and talk about these issues and more. I can be contacted at 403-324-8667 / ianmast@telus.net. Thank you, Ian Mast.
Jacki Kirk
Who am I? I am a 56-year-old semi-retired, well educated, well informed and business minded individual who has lived in Gleichen for 29 years. My 18 year educational career as a classroom teacher, librarian, team leader, and technology coordinator along with my eight years as a small business owner and employer
have provided me experience teaching, learning, observing, problem-solving, budgeting, resource building, cooperating, communicating, leading, and organizing. Why am I running for council? I believe I have the qualifications, dedication, and public service mindedness to do an excellent job representing the residents of Division 2. If elected, I would work deligently towards ensuring that Wheatland County Council fulfils what I believe is its first and foremost duty: - to consider the residents of Wheatland County as the primary stakeholders, and secondly to ensure that our resources are used wisely and efficiently.
Also running but not available for comment as of press time are Russell Smith and Rex Harwood for Division 2.

Gauthier decided it was time to throw his hat into the ring as he had more time to dedicate to his community. A long time active member of the Standard Fire Department, Gauthier fully realizes the time and effort that needs to go back into the community in serving on Council. Gauthier has actively supported the Ag Society in the past by sitting on the Board of Directors as well as involved in the building and opening of the new Town of Standards fire department in the south part of town. Gauthier is passionate about his community and looks forward to bringing some new ideas to the table to make Standard the place to be.
Village of Standard
Bea and I have lived in the Standard area for 51 years. I have represented our council on a regional water committee for several years. I would like to see this completed.

I invite phone calls regarding any village members concerns.

Standard is a wonderful community with so many hard working and devoted residents and organizations. I am glad to be a part of it. I look forward to serving as a village councillor to ensure Standard continues to be a safe and wonderful place to live with a secure and stable future in the changing dynamics and economics within Alberta.
Mark Clark
Mark Clark is seeking re-election for a second term on the Village of Standard council. He has been married to his wife Deah SchultzClark for 10 years and they have three won-
derful girls Serena, Marchella and Trinity. If re-elected he would like to see the current regional water program come to a successful completion. Being on council has a personal note to it for both him and his wife Deah. They want to give back to the community as they found the community gave them such tremendous support in earlier years due to illness in 2006 for both Clark and his wife; a small repayment of paying it forward but more importantly happy to be giving back to a community he respects and appreciates.

Alan Larsen grew up in and around the Standard area where his family farmed. Larsen is one of eight boys and two girls raised by his mom and dad (Esther and Kurt Larsen). Larsen is no stranger to volunteerism and community service as his history dictates his incredible involvement in every aspect of his community. Larsen has been on Village Council for six years to date serving a term as councillor, a term as Deputy Mayor and presently as Mayor.
He has enjoyed working with the present staff and fully realizes that it is a team effort. He has especially appreciated serving with present Deputy Mayor Don Cuthill (who has served 10 years on Village Council but is not seeking reelection), and thanks him for his guidance and dedication to municipal affairs. When asked why he is running again, he said, Im still having fun at it and I really enjoy meeting people in and around the community through different boards and services. Three items he wants to concentrate on are the regional water program, a fire review committee for the rural fire departments of the County of Wheatland, and finally growth and sales in the new sub division, making Standard attractive to new young families looking to raise their children in a friendly rural environment.
cost would be way beyond what we could afford at this time. We are working on improving them, within our budget, and hope it helps conservatively. I know that people running for Council would say paving our roads is what they will do. It is a nice idea, but until we get a lot more industry paying taxes in our village, it is not going to happen. Rockyford is a wonderful place to live and raise children. I was born here and except for the twenty years I spent serving the Armed Forces, I have always called Rockyford my home. My wife and I have raised our three children here; my son, is in town and my other two with their families enjoy coming back to their hometown for visits, and of course for our famous Rockyford Rodeo. Thank you very much.

poor population. Social engineering, however, is a common practise employed in developed countries, by delivering social programs to voters in the year leading up to an election. Social media, advanced polling and media coverage also impact voter decisions to some extent. The longer term will decrease the number of times those perks are delivered to the public. There have been cases in the political arena in which the social engineering backfires, biting politicians with a negative impact. If those in power are just plain bad at governance and alienate people by not recognising the current issues and opinions, voters are not swayed and often surprise the pollsters. Another drawback to four year terms, according to voter advocacy groups, is it delays voters ability to change governing officials. Social media postings to a CBC article about municipal election term change showed readers were split for and against the longer term. The City of Calgary website indicated a longer term would allow businesses and residents more pre-planning stability reflected in four years of planned tax revenues. Whether acquiring an extra electoral year would definitely cause those taxes to remain fixed was not qualified. If the trend of yearly salary increases for elected officials is maintained and the cost of services continues to rise incrementally, voters already know that nothing is sure except death and increased taxation, and an extra year only prolongs the prognosis. For the anarchist or apathetic voter, not voting is the option of choice. It is interesting that until 2012, over 50 per cent of eligible voters in Alberta didnt vote, so for that portion of the populace, whether the term is three or four years really doesnt matter to them.

indiscriminate burning practises. Some examples are burning in fire barrels, trash and leaf piles and the practise of controlled stubble burns. See www. wheatlandcounty.ca for a full list of banned activity. Anyone who starts a slough on fire right now is out of their mind, said Councillor Ben Armstrong. The topic of fireworks was brought up. The use of fireworks is currently under Alberta government review. Protective Services Manager Gerald Skibinsky said that they are not currently issuing permits for personal fireworks. Chief Administrative Officer Allan Parkin said that people without a permit are taking a big risk to light fireworks, because if a fire starts from their use, the individual will have to pay all costs associated with fighting the fire. Council felt they had to invoke the ban in order to protect the countys liability and uphold their responsibility to the ratepayers. The action ran contrary to established procedures, which involves fire guardians and fire chiefs to set the ban, but it is within the Councils right under accepted provincial guidelines. There was a suggestion that degrees of fire risk be indicated on advertisement boards throughout the county. Council recommended the guidelines for fire bans will be re-evaluated, after the Fire Review results are in place. Five councillors approved setting the ban, one was opposed. Fire departments in the county always need support from the public to carry on their work. They are manned by volunteer crews and dont receive funding like the large municipal services. They support residents by responding to emergency situations and fires, like the recent harvest flare-ups and are looking for residents to support their local fire departments in return. The Strathmore Rural Firefighters have a fundraising Ladies night planned for Oct.5. It is an annual event that is always a fun and interesting night out. Tickets are still available at ProWater in the Town of Strathmore. Watch for other fundraisers throughout the year, for the various halls within the County.

smallest signs in the last two campaigns, said Sobol. He said this year he expects it will cost him about $1,000, which is his budget for the campaign. He plans to go doorto-door and visit with residents, and will be attending as many forums as he can. Im a real believer that your past dictates what your future is going to be. My campaign started three years ago, I dont work every day with the idea of getting re-elected or anything but, when I do get elected I consider it a privilege and so the work that I do during that three years is a thank you to the people for electing me, said Sobol. I am responsible for that honour and I take it very seriously. I honestly believe thats the best way to campaign for an election is to really bust your butt, get up there, do the work and give the job 100 per cent. I honestly believe that a lot of people notice that, see that and appreciate that. Grajczyk shares Sobols sentiments that mayor and council are always campaigning. Youre campaigning all the time. The moment you get elected youre campaigning. I am here for the betterment of the community. I have no personal vendettas, no personal objectives other than making the town a better place to live for all of the community, said Grajczyk. The official nominees have been named and the race for a spot on council is well underway. Election day is Oct. 21 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. for Strathmore residents.

Staff and students at Holy Cross Collegiate will be celebrating the schools 10th anniversary this school year.

People Focused Conscientious Passion For The Community Knowledge in All Issues, such as Health Care, Development and Recreation
Celebrating 10 years
Shannon LeClair Times Reporter Years ago a Catholic school in Strathmore was a dream that a group of residents had. Through hard work and perseverance, many dedicated individuals helped the dream become a reality. Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) first opened its doors to students in 2004, and later this school year HCC will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. Three staff members have been with the school since the beginning: Principal Lavern Evans, Educational Assistant Shirley Benoiut and administrator Mary Kruse. I just remember that first year having 123 kids and you could fill one set of the bleachers and talk to the entire student body, from 7-10, said Evans of that first year. Its interesting looking back, this year we might have 365 kids in the building, and to just think of the growth and how full our building is and the growth of staff and we really have a true high school now 10 to 12 and a junior high 7 to 9. I think the one thing that for me that sort of sticks out is for the first six or seven years I could walk down the hall and I knew every single student, said Benoiut. Now its getting to the point where I, unfortunately, can walk down and not know some students and I dont really like that feeling. I guess I try and challenge myself to get to know the students that I wouldnt normally see every day, said Benoiut. She said she makes an effort to try to be personalble and get to know the students on a first name basis. In the first school year there werent enough students to field a sports team, and at the first graduation in 2007 there were only seven graduates. Kruse said over the years she has noticed the increase in all the small things the students and staff members

do as a school. Because I take the pictures for yearbook, I really notice over a year stuff that you would never expect we would have enough (students) to do, like sports teams, we had so many sports teams last year. We did the first musical ever a couple years ago and it was like really, were going to have enough kids to have a musical? said Kruse. Were still a small school compared to other (schools) but we do a lot of stuff. The school offers a lot of programs, all because the teachers are also putting in extra time to help the school grow and enhance programs each year. The growth of the programs, even academic, fine arts and sports, I think you need those three things to have a really good school. You can have amazing academics and fine arts but then you need sports, I call them the holy trinity of an amazing school, said Evans. He said even looking back five or six years ago and seeing where things were to where they are now makes him proud to think of the growth and the work that the staff put into making things come together. The staff has changed over the years, but its always a fun staff. Theyre fun, they want to do stuff with the kids, said Kruse. She said that the staff always interacts well with the kids, which she feels relates to the kids and makes them feel more comfortable about approaching a staff member with a concern or issue. I think my job could be even more challenging if you had staff that maybe you disagreed with or werent the best to be the classroom, but we have good staff so it makes everybodys job easier. As an adult and obviously from a learning standpoint, the kids are so blessed to have the staff we do, thats what makes my job so good, said Evans. Continued on Page 17

Councillor Earl Best has decided not to run for re-election. Best has served three terms as a councillor for the Town of Strathmore.
to listen and I think that if someone is going to run for council they have to know that that is something that they have to have. Best said the main reason he is not running for re-election is because it is time, and perhaps there can be new blood on council that have different thoughts and can help the town go in a different direction. He intends to join a couple of boards and would like to wean himself off of being involved in a public way rather than quit it all cold turkey. Best also plans to trace his family roots, something he thinks is very important. I wish all those who run for council and mayor the best of luck and I thank you for everything, said Best.

congregation in discerning what they have been called and gifted to do. In temporal terms, it means heading the process of discerning where the congregation will be physically located in the years to come. The people of St. Michaels voted a year ago to leave behind a century old church building that was no longer meeting its needs. The challenge now is to discern where the churchs spiritual calling intersects with the bricks and mortar aspect of ministry. The parish will hold a service of Induction to celebrate the beginning of Rev. Bryans ministry here. Everyone is welcome to attend the service held Sunday, Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. in our interim worship location, 245 Brent Boulevard. Rev. Bryan extended a warm invitation to anyone interested in Questioning Everything to our Alpha Course, which began on Sept. 24. He also welcomes everyone to our Sunday worship at 10 a.m. weekly. Please call our church office for further information on any of our activities.

Its been one year since the Standard Neighbourhood Grill and Bar was opened by new owner operator Peter Pan and his friend Yvonne Ouellet. Picking up and moving across the country from Quebec with his daughters Diana and Angelina, who both attend Standard school, has been an adjustment and an adventure to say the least. Pan made significant changes to the hotel and bar establishment through his Asian fusion food and through renovations to the business itself. The bar now boasts patio dining and a family-friendly space for patrons to bring children into the restaurant without having them interact with the bar. On Saturday, September 28, Pan will be bringing in live entertainment for the anniversary event. A Girl Named Jake, Jacqueline Marcelle, a local music artist
How can you have fun and learn in the best way possible? Rockyford School Grade 4, 5, and 6 students did just that when they headed out to Kananaskis Country earlier in September with the Grade 5 and 6 class from Standard School. Mr. Wiewel organized a great trip and two wonderful hikes where the students experienced firsthand the wonders of the Cordillera region from their social studies unit. Breathtaking views and experience of the effects of the floods were but a few of the fun learning activities they did as they hiked Boulton Creek and Chester Lake trails. School work became an experiential opportunity when done in the great outdoors. The students and staff would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the parents who accompanied us and made our experience happen.
Wonderful hike!

Mertz places 13th, 33rd in London
Aryssah Stankevitsch Times Reporter Strathmores Kevin Mertz competed in two races for the 2013 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in London earlier this month, earning 13th in the aquathlon (1 km swim, 5 km run) on Sept. 11, and 33rd in the sprint triathlon (750 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run) on Sept. 13 for his age group. I just spent some time visualizing each leg that I would have to do, and certainly, spending lots of time visualizing transition, because thats where a lot of mistakes can be made. Its also a good place to make up time, and gain some places, said Mertz. Theyre higher placings than I had anticipated, thats for sure especially that 13th. I feel like I could have done better, I made a few mistakes on the triathlon. Mertz was caught by a referee taking off his helmet too early, losing about 15 seconds, and also found his bike ride quite slow through the pouring rain. Gaining that experience, biking through slick roads, will help in the long run. I kind of went there to learn, it was my first world championship; (I was) just
With a collaborative team score of 439, Strathmore High School took home gold at golf provincials from Sept. 23-24 at Strathmore Golf Club and Muirfield Lakes. An SHS team had never before successfully defended and repeated as provincial champions. The squad comprised of: Brady Morris (l-r), Kevin Taplin, Coach Jennifer Meyers, Coach Wes Clark, Austin Biletsky, and Zach Olson.
kind of there for the experience, (Ill) build from there for Edmonton in 2014. Mertz had competed amongst 2,000 in the World Cup in Edmonton this past June, but not at a Grand Final level, which usually has 8,500 athletes (including Olympians); next years Grand Final will take place from Aug. 26-Sept. 1. Mertz felt seeing the Tour of Alberta cross through Strathmore spurred him on even more to compete. The Tour was so cool, he said. Just to be around elite athletes totally got me excited. The swim, Mertz found, was the toughest part. The swim was crazy rough. I got kicked in the nose; I had a good bruise on the side of my face. It was way rougher than I envisioned, he said. I just wanted to go out and really push the swim, and get out of the water. I was top four out of the water in the triathlon. Now, Mertz plans on resting for a month before training for Edmonton 2014 begins. I just want to take a month off, let myself eat some fatty foods and drink pop, those kinds of things, he said. Theyre wicked placings, and Im very pleased with it. Ill try to go as far as I can with it.

sure. Playing four games in four days had both the Bisons and the Olympians tired by the third period. Leading up to the Olympics, the women will play Midget AAA teams roughly 30 times. Its a huge plus for us, its a major factor in our preparation for the Olympics to play games that are close and meaningful and fast and physical, Church said. Speedy games are Churchs best preparation for the United States in the Olympics, though good rivalries have come from the AMHL as well. They play a lot like the United States. It can get chippy and competitive, but the speed is the biggest thing, he said. Its been a great partnership for us and the Alberta Midget Hockey League; really meaningful games that help us get better push our pace and decision making. Team Canada will be cut from 27 down to 21 for the Olympics in December; the UFA Bisons made their final cuts on Sept. 23.

The CanSkate, Junior Development, and Senior Development have roughly 100 youth involved in all three programs. Their season runs from September to April, with tournaments for the more competitive levels.
The Strathmore Spartans peewee football team improved to 2-1 on the season after a 46-6 road win over Red Deer on Sept. 21.
The Strathmore Senior girls soccer team played their first home game against the Foothills on Sept. 19 at 4:30 p.m. Despite a valiant effort, the Spartans fell 9-0.
The bantams play Springbank at home on Saturday, and are expecting a competitive matchup. We played a very poor game last game, Klauck said. If we play the same way, were in jeopardy of losing. Chuck Holloways peewees were also victorious on Sept. 21, knocking out the Red Deer Hornets on their own turf, 466. This puts the peewees at 2-1 on the season. We had minor penalties on offense, three off-sides, but other than that they played great, Holloway said. Makael Holloway rushed 150 yards, while quarterback Dustin Theissien rushed 120. The young Spartans will face off against Rocky Mountain House on Sept. 28 at home; Holloway is expecting a similar score to last weeks. One of the Red Deer coaches said that overall, our team and Lacombe are pretty much the best teams in the league, Coach Holloway said.
Far Left: The Spartan Junior Girls Volleyball team played a triple header on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at the Strathmore High School. The girls won the first two games and went on to play a final match against the Black Diamond Drillers. With the best out of five in their final match, the junior girls came away with a clean sweep for the night. Left: The Senior Spartans girls team took an early lead in their round robin play against Oilfields High School, which they kept, winning all three games.
McDonnell said about the Holy Trinity game. Were changing up our goalies, were changing up our defense. We saw some people at practice last night and at the game on Thursday that really shined in different positions. So were going to do a little bit of the soccer shuffle, and move some kids around. With another game on Sept. 26 against Highwood High School, McDonnell is hoping this will bring a little more experience to her team, who typically face much stronger schools. I think they got a taste of what the league is about, on Thursday. Foothills Composite is one of the best teams in the league. I know theres only five of us, and were kind of the underdog, she said.

MOEN, Mildred
www.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Johanna Hoff on Friday, September 20, 2013. For 79 years education was an underlying theme of Jos life. She attended St.Marys Girls in Calgary and studied Education at the Calgary branch of the University of Alberta, where she was captain and star player of the womens basketball team, as well as being involved in student government. Jo was an avid swimmer, having grown up beside the Elbow River, an excellent bridge player and life-long movie buff. After teaching school for one year in Mossleigh, Jo returned to University where she met fellow Education student Vern, and with him obtained her MRS degree instead of her B. Ed. Over the years she took many correspondence and Adult Education courses, eventually heading up the local Adult Ed program. Jo and Vern lived one year in Lethbridge, four years in Bassano and in 1961 moved to their present location between Standard and Gleichen. This was the hub of family gatherings for 50 years. In each community Jo enjoyed the womens Koffee Klatches and also became a favourite substitute teacher. Jo eagerly espoused her new role as farm wife-picking up Native workers, taking meals to the harvest fields, making parts runs as well as driving her children and others to hundreds of sports and arts events, making mountains of sandwiches and squares. She participated fully in the local social life, especially Lions Clubs activities, including the famous Hawaii Night. In that active household she and Vern raised four sons and one daughter- David (Kira, Declan), now currently living in Vancouver; Eldon (Carlee, Lonnie, Janelle)- Standard; Anne Paskevich (Paul)Calgary; Michael (Dorrit- children Rachel, Logan)-Calgary and Erich (Tammy- children Sarah, Simon)-Gleichen. All their children attended post-Secondary Education and have passed the education passion on to their own children. Jo was a member of many local organizations and, before her health gave way, operated Buffalo Jump Arts and Crafts. She was an enthusiastic collector of Native and Western artefacts and antiques. Together in their motor home Jo and Vern visited every state and province and flew to Hawaii in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary in 2006. Jos life was full and busy until several health issues in later years confined her more and more to home and family. She leaves to mourn Vern, her loving husband of 57 years, her children and grandchildren, and countless nieces and nephews. She is survived two sisters, Mary Meigh (Ottawa), Anne Wansink (St. Albert). She was pre-deceased by her brother Fred. Her sisters and brothers-in-law, Donna Clandfield; Lorraine Tennis, Ken and Judith Hoff, and Max and Mary Hoff also mourn her loss. Hundreds of relatives and friends will recall the good times at Aunt Jos swimming pool, her thousands of books and magazines, shelves of crafts and antiques, dining tales groaning under delicious food, and the warm hospitality of an interesting and intelligent woman. Donations in Johannas memory may be made directly to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation (#200, 119-14th St. N.W., Calgary, T2N 1Z6). A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 27, 2013 at Hope Community Covenant Church at 1:00 p.m. To send condolences, please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.
With a heavy heart we announce the passing of Mildred at the Strathmore Hospital with family by her side. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Mildred was predeceased by her loving husband of 60 years, Vernon, in 2003 and son-in-law Larry Sallis in 1998. She is survived by her four children, Gail Richards (Frank), Carol Sallis (Gordon McNicol), Raymond Moen (Cheryl) and Carman Moen (Judith); thirteen grandchildren; and eighteen great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved dearly. Mildred was born and raised at Unity, Saskatchewan, completed her education in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and worked as a secretary at the Sanitarium in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She then moved to Elrose, Saskatchewan to continue working at an insurance agency. There she met and married Vernon Moen who farmed at Houghton. In 1953 the family moved to Lyalta to continue farming. Mildred was a considerate, thoughtful, and caring person. She had a strong sense of justice and treated everyone fairly. Mildred loved her family, community, music, art, and reading. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to The Arthritis Society (#300, 1301 8th St. SW Calgary, T2R 1B7) or a charity of your choice. Come celebrate her life with us on Saturday, September 28, 2013 at Strathmore United Church (410-4 St., Strathmore) at 11:00 a.m. To send condolences, please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.

LOUIE GEERAERT
Beloved father and grandfather, its 18 years since youve been gone. God gave us the strength to carry on. The things we feel so deeply, are the hardest things to say, but we, your family love you, in a very special way. They say that memories are golden, well that may be true, but we never wanted memories, we only wanted you. Its said time heals all sorrows, we know that isnt so, because it hurts as much today, as it did 18 years ago. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches make a lane, wed walk the path to Heaven, and bring you home again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
