Nominees propare for October 18 election

How do your finances
stack up?
Do you know whether your financial life is a
success?
One way to find out is to measure your net
worth. This is the value of everything you own,
minus everything you owe. In other words, assets
minus liabilities.
Net worth provides a snapshot of your finances.
If you’re in good shape, you should own
considerably more than you owe, resulting in
substantial net worth. If your net worth is low, or
even a negative number, you have some serious
work ahead.
Your first step is to add the value of your assets.

Standard gets a running
start to the new school year
Standard School held another suc-
cessful Terry Fox Run on Friday Sep-
tember 17 in town. The entire student
body, along with Karen Smith their
principal, and their teachers walked or
ran the course through town a num-
ber of times. It was nice to see some
of the high school students pairing
themselves up with the younger ones
to encourage them on the run. This
year is the 30th Anniversary of Terry
Fox’s run across Canada to raise
money for the fight against Cancer.
Thank you so much to any of you who
sponsored the kids and made pledges for this cause. Thank you once again to the Stan-
dard Lionettes who provided the crowd of walkers with donuts from Rocky’s bakery and
juice boxes. The kids always look forward to the treat at the end of the course.
Balancing a hectic lifestyle
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
Wheatland Business Women
are hosting a night of Wine,
Women and Wisdom on Sep-
tember 29. The event will take
place at the Civic Centre at
6:30 p.m. and everyone is wel-
come. Tickets are $25.
Michelle Cederberg is the
guest coming in to make the
presentation. Cederberg is the
author of Got to it!, and is Can-
ada’s newest certified speak-
ing professional. She will be
coming in to speak about her
accountability journal. Ced-
erberg was recommended to
come speak and hopefully in-
spire people.
“We heard she has a great
message and a great sense of
humour to deliver that mes-
sage,” said Marcy Field, a
member of Wheatland Busi-
ness Women. The message Ce-
derberg plans to deliver is The
Energy to Succeed in Business
& In Life, Helping people with
full schedules and a long list
of responsibilities maximize
their personal energy.
“If there is one common
challenge most of my clients,
participants and audiences
struggle with it is without a
doubt the belief that there just
aren’t enough hours in the
day. ‘Too much to do and not

and self in a never-ending
chase for a bit of free time,”
said Cederberg.
“75% of Canadians don’t be-
lieve that work-life balance is
possible. We’re working more
than ever, spending less time
with our friends and family,
and inevitably watching our
health and happiness drift
away.”
Many people want to exer-
cise, eat right, build the busi-
ness, write, partake in leisure
activities, socialize with family
and friends, try new hobbies,
travel, even sleep, said Ceder-
berg.
“But no matter how badly
you want it, your schedule
doesn’t seem to have room
for it, so you’re tired, busy life
stays busy and tiring.”
Cederberg teaches about
how to balance life through
small “energizing” steps. The
first goal, she said, is to gain
energy through self-care. It
doesn’t need to be giant leaps
to be a success, but instead it
can be done by taking small
steps every day.
“Let’s face it, you likely
don’t have a lot of free time
right now anyway and if you
do you probably don’t have
the energy or motivation to
‘go big’ out of the gates, so the
decision should be easy,” said
Cederberg.
According to Cederberg, if
people embrace even small
changes in important aspects
of their health and scheduling,
they will notice significant im-
provements in energy.

Finding Work-life Balance
When Time and Energy Are
Low 2
Time Management Tips
By Michelle Cederberg
It’s true that if you have
more personal energy you’ll
get more done, but even the
most energetic individual can
shift off balance without prop-
er time and schedule manage-
ment. Below are 4 scheduling
strategies that will do just that.
1) Overhaul your priorities
Of all the tasks you have
to conquer in a typical week,
how many of them can be
re-scheduled or eliminated?
Re-prioritizing is particularly
important in a time-cramped
schedule. Maybe your volun-
teer efforts need to be scaled
back for the moment? It’s pos-
sible the car, dog and curtains
don’t need to be washed this
week. Look at your home
and work-based commitments
and diligently eliminate or re-
schedule at least one low pri-
ority task in each area.
2) Schedule ‘white space’
We all need time during the
day to absorb the unforeseen.
If your schedule is jammed
from morning to evening,
stress will increase when un-
expected meetings or emer-
gencies pop up. Schedule up
to 60% of your day and leave
40% for task management and
unexpected events. In an 8
hour work day that means

almost 5 hours can be sched-
uled, leaving just over 3 hours
of flexible ‘white space’.
3) Make a ‘two’ do list
The next time you put a
task on your ‘to do’ list make
a 2nd entry in your schedule –
your ‘two’ do entry – for when
you will complete it. When
I agreed to do this article I
opened my day-timer immedi-
ately and blocked out the time
I knew it would take me to
write it. That way I could be
sure I wouldn’t over-schedule
and I’d have time set aside to
complete the work before the
deadline.
4) Be wise and revise
No matter how organized
you get, allow yourself the
option in work, as in life, to
revise. I open my schedule
at the start of each week and
review the week ahead. De-
pending on my energy and
stress levels at that moment,
I will give myself permission
to revise my upcoming sched-
ule to allow for steps 1 and 2
above to come into play once
again.
What would it take to im-
plement even a few of the
life-balance steps above? Why
not begin today? If you em-
brace even small changes in
important aspects of your
health and scheduling, you’ll
realize significant improve-
ments in energy and output
sooner than you think. Chart
your progress as you go, and
celebrate your success … one
step at a time, because that’s
all it takes.

Why do leaves change color in the fall?
Plants make food, using sunlight and something called
chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color.
When autumn arrives, the days are short and dry, so many
plants stop making food. The chlorophyll goes away, that’s
when we see the orange and yellow colors. These colors were
in the leaves all summer, but the green covered them up.
Q: Should children go to a funeral?
A: Every child is different. Children will grieve
a death but it is often misinterpreted as being
‘cranky’ or ‘moody’. The best way to deal with
children surrounding a death is to be very open
and honest with them. Even if they don’t fully
understand the implications of death, it is best
to explain it to them. Terms like ‘gone away’ or
‘went to sleep’ can create a misunderstanding,
and even fear, of going away or to sleep because
they may not come back, like the deceased did.
Often people try to shield their children from
death but it is often much more important for
them to experience the same things as adults
so that they can be involved with the family,
rather than excluded from such an important
event. There is nothing that occurs at a funeral
that would be inappropriate for children to
experience. For more information on this topic,
please visit our website.

AltaLink hosts final open house in Indus
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
AltaLink hosted their last open house at the In-
dus recreational centre on Sept. 8, regarding the
proposed route of the transmission lines. There
have been 11 open houses in total and seventy four
stakeholders came to Indus to see what new op-
tions were being presented. AltaLink has a lengthy
process they go through before filing an application
with Alberta Utilities Commission, AUC.
“For anyone who is on or close to a route that
we’re considering, we will go out and do a one-on-
one consultation with them at their home or busi-
ness and try to make that as convenient for them as
we can,” said Leigh Clarke, Senior Vice President,
External Engagement.
AltaLink began looking at routes for a new trans-
mission line when ISO, Independent System Oper-
ator, planned the system and then said what they
want to be implemented. Since then it has been up
to AltaLink to find the best option for the line that
also has the lowest impact to residents of affected
areas.
They have looked through a variety of different
options, and have scrapped many options, as they
consult with stakeholders.
“We only really construct in the winter when the
ground is frozen, to try to minimize the disrup-
tion,” said Clarke. AltaLink will also return the land
around the tower, which will be approximately 9 x

when more power is needed a new line must go up.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Gearing up for an interesting election
To the Editor
The race is on. Change for Strathmore members
would like to thank those residents who have put their
names forward to run for the next town council. If any
candidates would like to learn more about our group
or potentially receive an endorsement (and campaign
assistance) from us, please do not hesitate to contact
us at changeforstrathmore@shaw.ca. The Change for
Strathmore group is now meeting weekly and will be
ramping up our activities now that the election period
is under way.
While we share the voters excitement that new can-
didates have come forward, we cannot share that senti-
ment for the incumbents who are running again. Based
on the high degree of concerns our group shares from
the countless examples we have found (and are still
finding) with per diem and expense reports from the
past three years, we are a little shocked to learn most
incumbents expect to be re-elected in this election. In a
past issue of one of the local papers, our group asked
for members of council to do the honourable thing and
offer their resignations. Not only has no one accepted
this advice, no member of council has offered an apol-
Working for Strathmore
To the Editor
I am Dave Hamilton and I am running for Municipal
Council for the Town of Strathmore. I have lived and
worked in Strathmore since 1982 with the RCMP as
well as for the Town of Strathmore as a Peace Officer.
During that time I have seen much growth in the town
as well as the surrounding area. I have watched and
worked with various Town councils over those years
and now feel it is time for me to ask for your support in
continuing that growth and development in a progres-
sive manner. The following are some of the areas that
need to be addressed in an open and honest manner.
• The proposed ring road that will circumvent the
town. This will adversely affect both the business com-
munity as well as the town as a whole. There has to be
a better alternative.
• The town needs an Economic Development Officer
to attract light and/or heavy industry to town. The spin
offs from any industry that would locate in Strathmore
would obviously benefit the residents, such as creation
of jobs, as well as taxes paid by these new businesses.
Great interest in upcoming election
To the Editor
I read with interest a letter to the editor by Councillor
Bob Sobol on September 16th in your paper. Mr Sobol
said (and I quote), “transparency has been a priority for
this council.” Apparently he will defend that statement
in this election - we look forward to that.
Mr Sobol also commented that Change for Strath-
more “appears to be interested in getting their own per-
sonal council elected.” This is not at all the case, this
group simply hopes to see candidates who will commit
to stand up for certain ideals that most taxpayers are
concerned about. If these qualities are not present in
the current council, what choice to taxpayers have but
to seek out new candidates.
Mr Sobol contends “certainly, I would hope that any
successful candidate in the upcoming election will fo-
cus his efforts on all of Strathmore, and not just the
desires of a self-interest group.” This is interesting. Is
Mr Sobol indicating that any candidates that Change
for Strathmore supports will somehow be puppets of
the group? Is he taking an initial shot at any candidates
we support as not being trustworthy and too narrow
minded to serve all residents?
The Change for Strathmore group has repeated sev-
eral times publicly the important issues we hope to
articulate and support candidates who at least agree
with those items. In no way has this group restricted its
priorities to only those things but has provided these
items as a guide to help members of the group deter-
mine who the best choices are.

return taxpayer dollars they should not have claimed
in the first place.
Voters, at all levels of government, are accustomed
to seeing examples of wastage of tax payers’ dollars,

• More openness and accountability between the
citizens and the town council.
• Research the viability for a full time Fire Depart-
ment due the future town expansion.
• Seniors and affordable housing
• Address infrastructure within the town ie: roads,
etc.
• Policing, both RCMP and our local Peace Officers
and bylaw personnel to maintain the quality level of
enforcement provided
The above points are the ones that I feel need to
be immediately addressed. I realize there are many
other concerns that our citizens will identify during
the course of the current campaign and I welcome all
those who are willing to suggest these by contacting
me at my email address of jdavehamilton@shaw.ca. I
thank you for your time and would ask if you for your
vote in the upcoming municipal election on October
18, 2010.
Dave HAMILTON
Jdavehamilton@shaw.ca
Mr Sobol labels us as a self-interest group. I guess we
are then if we support what we have already publicly
declared as priorities. They include:
1) An owner of a successful business (if possible) or
experience leading a service club or other recognized
group.
2) Candidates willing to be transparent and account-
able in every way including voting records, per diem
and expense claims.
3) Support the hiring of an Economic Development
Officer for the town.
4) Possess a clear vision for the economic success of
Strathmore.
5) Publicly oppose the rerouting of Highway 1
around Strathmore.
6) Be fully aware of the time you will need to dedi-
cate to be an effective member of council.
7) Be committed to revising the current policy on per
diem and expense payments to ensure current spend-
ing problems do not occur again.
One would have thought Mr Sobol would be able to
support some of these core values but he has instead
decided to label them as “special interest.” I’m betting
most tax - paying residents will agree these priorities
are much more than core values articulated by a so-
called special interest group and will resonate with a
majority of voters. The fact that a sitting councillor de-
fines them as such speaks for itself.

curiosity

CLAUDETTE LACOMBE
WID
The Western Irrigation District
(WID) Main Canal rebuild will
create one of those magnets for
curious people in a publicly ac-
cessible location this winter and
the WID wants Strathmore par-
ents in particular to be aware of
the site.
When the construction starts
in October, earth-moving equip-
ment, trucks, piles of rock and
holes in the dirt may be a pow-
erful enticement to some young
people.
“Safety is the number one pri-
ority on the site,” assures Erwin
Braun WID Operations Manager.
He adds that “Operators can’t see
everywhere, all the time.”
Braun likened the site to a road
construction site, but the differ-
ence is that there is a grassy area
along Thomas Drive that the pub-
lic uses often. Although it will
still be safe to walk along Thom-
as Drive, WID hopes parents will
educate children not to get too
close to the action.
“We don’t want people to be-
come tourists in a construction
zone or kids to think it’s a play-
ground,” he says. He explains that
every year the WID performs this
type of construction, but gener-
ally it is out in the countryside
on private lands. This is the first
La shaun Andrews
403-850-4593
project within an urban area in a
long time.
“We have an excellent safety
record for our crews and contrac-
tors, so we want to ensure the
public understands to be careful
too,” Braun emphasizes.
He adds that the crews hold
daily safety meetings and review
any hazards on site. There are
power lines and gas lines they
need to avoid and mark for safe-
ty. Also any trenches where peo-
ple work get inspected to ensure
no earth has caved or is loose.
The contracted construction
company may have off-hours se-
curity for its equipment, but that
doesn’t guarantee curious people
won’t get too close. The WID
asks that the public resist explor-
ing the site for safety reasons.
The WID met with the local
RCMP and Strathmore By-Law
Officers and requested they keep
an eye on the site to help with
public safety.
Of course, residents should

also expect typical construction
activity during the project. The
construction begins in earnest in
October. Crews will work during
the hours allowed by the Town
of Strathmore Noise By-Law that
includes 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. on
weekdays and 9 a.m. – 10 p.m.
on weekends.
On the up-side, the construc-
tion will happen quickly with
crews working daylight hours
during any weather and on long
rotations such as 10-days work-
ing and two days off. The main
construction should be complete
in 8-12 weeks and all quiet by
Christmas.
“The project must be complete
by next water season that starts
May 1, 2011,” Braun explains.
“The contractor will work as
quickly and as diligently as it can
to make that happen.”

Athletic department
gets much-needed
boost
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter

The athletic department at Holy Cross

Collegiate, HCC, has been in desperate
need of funding for a while now. This fact
didn’t pass by Laurie Bratt, who decided
to do something about it. Last year she
approached the principal to ask what she
could do for the program. She was told Dr. Sean Stordy, far left, and his wife Dr. Nicole Stordy, left, presented a cheque for $2,000 to
she would have to create a booster club Sandi Johnson. Johnson was accepting the cheque on behalf of the downtown Calgary Kiwanis
and organize things through that. club. Shannon LeClair Photo

First annual a success

“I started up a booster club for the ath-
letic department because funding is low
for the athletes. They are in dire need of
equipment and mostly uniforms, we’re
trying to raise money to help purchase
new uniforms for the teams,” said Bratt.
She came up with the idea of hosting
a Lobster and Steak fundraising dinner.
Originally it was just going to be a lobster
dinner, but Bratt knew not everyone likes
lobster so she added steak to the menu.
For $30, people had an option of steak or
lobster plus a variety of side dishes. For
$40, however, people were able to have
both steak and lobster, and many guests
took advantage of the great price. All of
the athletes at HCC helped out in one way
or another when it came to putting the
dinner on, whether it was peeling and
cooking potatoes or manning the door.
“It wasn’t something that hasn’t been
done around town and it was something
I felt was different that would get people
to come out,” said Bratt.
On top of the filling food there was a
cakewalk, chicken drop for the kids and
a bouncy house. There were also hotdogs
The lobster and steak dinner hosted at Holy Cross
Collegiate was a hit. Many people such as Trish
Mazzei, left, and Michelle Warrack took advan-
tage of the dinner by getting a serving of both the
steak and lobster.

sold for the kids who likely wouldn’t eat
a full steak or lobster, much less both.
Things turned out better than anticipated,
with many people in the community do-
nating time, money, or food.
“It was a great community spirit effort,”
said Bratt. “It was a very successful event
for our athletic department.”
Bratt is sure this is only the beginning,
and is already planning to make the din-
ners the big annual event held for the
kids.

Optimum Wellness Centres held
their first annual golf tournament on
Sept. 11. Approximately 30 golfers hit
the greens and there were many vol-
unteers helping pull things together.
The tournament raised $2,000,
which they have decided to donate to
the Kiwanis Club.
“This was a success and Kiwanis is
going to get $2,000 out of it,” said Dr.
Sean Stordy, who runs Strathmore’s
Optimum Wellness Centre with his
wife Nicole.
“We had no control over what char-
ity was being used or anything and
by total fluke they decided to choose
the Kiwanis because…one of the chi-
ropractors was attached to that cause
and so he decided that would be the
benefactor of (this, our) first golf tour-
nament and these guys (the Stordy’s)
just so happen to be friends with San-
di and Cory ( Johnson) who just so
happen to be Kiwanis (members) and
it just worked out so fantastic,” said
Alicia Flint, a staff member at Strath-
more’s Optimum Wellness Centre.
The golf tournament is hopefully
just the first of many to come and ev-
eryone was happy with the end re-
sults of their first charity tournament.
Because of the $2,000 the tournament
raised, four kids will have an opportu-
nity to go to Camp Kiwanis. Kids from
Strathmore have never had the oppor-
tunity and this will be something new
for them. The kids are found through
social services in town, the schools or
through personal knowledge.
“I don’t think there’s ever been a
struggle finding the kids, its just a
matter of finding the most appropri-
ate kids,” said Cory Johnson.

The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride boasted over 40 riders, riding across
the country to raise funds and awareness to kids cancer. They split into three
groups and leapfrogged across the country.
7,200km in 15 days
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
The third annual Sears Na-
tional Kids Cancer Ride, SNK-
CR, began on September 9 and
went until the 23. There were
three teams, for a total of 42
riders, going across the coun-
try, sort of leapfrogging along
the way.
Damian Brown was crew
chief for team two and said
they started in Calgary the
morning of the 11th, and went
to Brooks. Another team left
Brooks the same day to head
to Moose Jaw.
“The three teams rotated
all the time on the road,” said
Brown. The 14 riders on team
two stopped for a good home
cooked meal at the Country
Farmhouse, just outside of
Cluny.
“We look for locations in be-
tween where the riders ride,
say 50 kilometres to 60 ki-
lometres. You have to have a
place where you have lunch or
dinner and stuff like that. So
different organizations have
come by to sponsor and have
supported us by providing
lunch. Dianne has so kindly
said that she wanted us here
and it’s her way of contribut-
ing to the cause,” said Brown.
Dianne Brown is the owner of
the farmhouse and was happy
to have the riders stop by for
lunch. The ride is 15 days long
from Vancouver to Halifax, ap-
proximately 7,200 kilometres.
Some riders may not be able
to ride for a full day, which is
fine; there is a bunk truck for
the riders. A crew of profes-
sionals, including a registered
massage therapist, travels with

the riders to make sure every-
one makes it through safely.
Ken Cross is also a crew
leader, his first ride with SNK-
CR was last year. Two years
ago, Cross’s daughter Megan,
6, was diagnosed with cancer.
“She was in remission af-
ter 2008 and then 17 months
passed and her cancer came
back. She needed a bone mar-
row transplant,” said Cross.
Her sister Leah was able to
provide the bone marrow Me-
gan needed. Not everyone par-
ticipating in the ride has been
personally affected by cancer,
but all want to do their part to
contribute to finding a cure.
“For a lot of these people they
either started riding or they
rode before and they thought
this would be something they
could do to give back,” said
Cross. SNKCR partners with
Coast to Coast Against Cancer
Foundation. Coast to Coast is
Canada’s only national char-
ity strictly devoted to fighting
childhood cancer.
“This is the only founda-
tion in Canada that specifical-
ly looks at childhood cancer
and that’s it. It helps with re-
search, it helps with programs
and families, and it helps out
camps. I will never waiver
from this knowing how it’s
helped out my family,” said
Cross.
There are no administrative
fees for the SNKCR ride. 100
per cent of monies raised go
directly to kids cancer treat-
ment. Each province with a pe-
diatric centre dedicated to kids
with cancer receives the funds
to help cover some of the costs
incurred by the patients, and
to help the families.

The UFA Bisons hosted their annual preseason tournament Sept. 16-19 at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Bisons
finished the tournament with the runner up trophy, after losing 4-2 to the Red Deer Rebels in the final. The Bisons open
the season Oct. 1 in Red Deer.
Bisons happy
with weekend tournament
MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
Going into their annual
preseason tournament, all
the UFA Bisons wanted to do
was give their organization a
chance to evaluate their play-
ers.
And after tangling with three
division rivals during the Sept.
16-19 home tournament, the
local triple-A Midget team let
the players decide who does
and does not make the 2010-
2011 squad.
“We were able to make
some decisions,” said Bisons
head coach Parry Shockey. “A
majority of the decisions have
been made by (the players
during) their opportunity to
play. (The players) know that
they’ve had every opportunity
to prove themselves.
“It’s funny, when you have
to release guys, sometimes
they already know – they’ve
done the math themselves.”
The Bisons started the tour-
nament with a 3-1 loss to the
Red Deer Optimist Rebels on
Sept. 16, before a tough 3-1
loss to the Calgary Northstars
the following day.
On Saturday morning, the
Bisons tied the Calgary Buf-
faloes 5-5, ranking them in
fourth place going into the
tournament’s semifinals.
However, the Bisons de-
feated the first-ranked North-
stars 3-1, earning a trip to the
championship game on Sun-
day morning. Despite a solid
effort, the Bisons lost 4-2 to
the Rebels.
“We haven’t worked on
powerplay or penalty kill –
so everything we’re doing is
off of a board,” said Shockey.
“We’re at a little bit of a dis-
advantage with Red Deer – I
know that they’ve been going
for a while now and are close
to their (final) numbers.
“We have some practice time
coming up, so we’re looking
forward to that. We’re looking
forward to doing some team
building, getting ourselves
ready for the opening part of
the season.”
Despite winning only one
game during the weekend –
ironically it was the semifinal
game, which earned them no
worse than a second place fin-
ish – the coaching staff was
pleased with the way the team
Mario Prusina Photo
played.
“I like when we were in
chance and paid attention to
detail – we did a lot of good
things,” said Shockey. “I didn’t
like when we broke down and
reverted back to old habits –
that’s just the way it is, that’s
human nature.
“At the end of the day, we
saw some guys who basically
bought right in. Then we saw
some guys with raw talent
that we can work with.”
The Bisons are now in the
process of preparing for their
final preseason game Sept. 26
at the Max Bell Arena in Cal-
gary versus the Northstars (2
p.m.).
According to Shockey, it is
the final game for a handful of
players to make an impression
before the team makes its final
roster cuts.
“We’re dealing with some
tremendous young men,” said
the coach. “It’s unfortunate –
this is a tough time because
we have to let some good
players go and good people
go. It goes with territory.”
“I have to disconnect my
(phone) number for a couple
of days,” joked Shockey.

Comparing the differences

SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
Dr. Fanning recently ac-
quired two students on a
practicum to help him at the
clinic and the office. On Au-
gust 31 two young women
from Germany arrived in
Canada, and plan to spend
a month here learning more
about how medicine works
here.
Julia Maubach and Mi-
chaela Baumgartner have
been friends for 14 years,
and neither one ever expect-
ed to study medicine, much
less come to Canada for it.
Baumgartner never had
an interest in medicine until
one year in high school, dur-
ing a sports class she learned
about medicine. That was the
end of it for her.
“My dad actually is a gen-
eral practitioner and I always
said, I don’t want to do that.
But when I came to the last
grade of high school, that
changed because of that
sports class,” said Baumgart-
ner.
Maubach comes from a
family of doctors and she
swore she would never travel
down that path.
“I always said I’m not going
to do medicine no way, and
then in year 11, I thought oh
maybe I should think about it
again,” said Maubach.
Her father is an oncologist
and hematologist and she is
considering going into that
area of medicine, though she
is still unsure at this point.
Though one thing she is sure
of is she does not want to
be a surgeon. Both women
have been to Canada in the
past, and for Baumgartner it’s
a yearly trip. In 2002 Mau-
bach was in Calgary taking a
class to improve her English
and Baumgartner was here
visiting her grandfather.
“They were here, and they
came from Drumheller to
Calgary and picked me up
and I spent a day at the farm
with them. Afterwards we
always said when we finish
school we’re going to Cana-
da again, do a trip together,”
said Maubach. Five years af-
ter finishing school they still
hadn’t made it back.
“We both ended up in Med
school so we said when we
go to Canada, we can do
something here,” said Mau-
bach. The women do not go
to the same medical schools,
Maubach is north in Luebeck
and Baumgartner goes to
school in the south in Mu-
nich.
“In Germany we’re sup-
posed to do all in all four Julia Maubach, left, and Michaela Baumgartner came
months of practicum. And to Strathmore to learn how our medical system works
we also can do that in other compared to Germany. Both women are here on a
countries, like Canada for ex- practicum for the month of September.
