Wheatland County
council grilled over
draft fire services bylaw
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

After extensive work done through FireWise

Guardians support child Consulting Ltd.’s Fire Service Review, residents
and fire-fighters turned out in force to object
to Wheatland County’s fire services bylaw that
was up for second reading on Aug. 14.
Page 17 Those in attendance said the bylaw negated
positive work done in the review to repair ten-
sions and renew faith in the county’s dealings
with the various rural fire associations and de-
partments.
“To be honest I am a little bit miffed at the
fact that all of a sudden this bylaw was pre-
sented to us,” said Rockyford Mayor Darcy
Burke.
The bylaw was drafted to set minimal ser-
Flat Track racing vice provisions and cover liability, safety, re-
source and training changes that are needed to
keep the services consistent and sustainable.
Some parts of the bylaw were mandated by
new government guidelines.
Most of those in attendance had no argu-
ment with the clauses that protected fire-fight-
ers and provided coverage but were angry
about the communication processes.
“You need to sit down with these associa-

Family turns grief into support for future chefs
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Associate Editor
At the age of 33, Jonathan Sobol was
on the fast track to an already promis-
ing career. He had graduated from the
Southern Alberta Institute of Technol-
ogy (SAIT) as a Red Seal chef, created
dishes with celebrity chef Heston Blu-
menthal during an unpaid month-long
learning experience at England’s es-
teemed three-Michelin-star restaurant
The Fat Duck, and put in 12-hour days
as the executive chef at Calgary’s up-
scale restaurant, Starbelly.
His social life was thriving as well. He
was beloved among his friends, never
missed a chance to spent time with his
nephew and niece, and he was working
on a film project together with 20-year-
old aspiring videographer Alec Brace-
girdle.
But on Aug. 30, 2016, tragedy struck.
Sobol and Bracegirdle were on their
way to tape a meeting with a local pro-
ducer, when 24-year-old Nicholas Miklic
tried to pass a semi truck and collided
head-on with Sobol’s vehicle northeast
of Calgary, claiming both their lives.
With only days left until the two-year
anniversary of the incident, Sobol’s
family was recently able to close one
chapter of the ordeal when the courts
sentenced Miklic to serve an intermit-
tent sentence of 30 days in jail to be
served on weekends, on Aug. 16.
The family also turned the page on
another chapter, with the announce-
ment of Darian Pestell becoming the
first recipient of the Jonathan Sobol
Memorial Award.
“He ( Jonathan) made a lot of friends
at SAIT and really appreciated the type
of school it was, and my wife Gina and I
decided that this would be appropriate
to keep his name alive in the scholastic
area of cooking,” said Jon’s father and
Strathmore town councillor Bob Sobol.
“What really pleased us was the un-
derstanding from SAIT that this award
had to do something to bring in Jon’s
beliefs and the type of person he was.
It strives to identify someone who re-

ally did emulate a lot of what Jon be-
lieved in, in giving back to the commu-
nity, believe in what you’re doing and
farm-to-table philosophy. This young
lady who was chosen, from everything
that I can see, absolutely deserved to
be awarded this amount because she
really does believe in all of this.
“This is in Jon’s name and I’m so hap-
py that she got the award. It’s the type
of person that we really
want to see receive this and
for us that’s good enough.”
Over the past year and
a half, family and friends
rallied behind the memo-
rial award, raising over
$100,000 by April of 2017.
Sobol said funds came
pouring in with the dona-
tions of generous souls,
fundraising initiatives at
SAIT, a fundraiser at the
Starbelly restaurant that
raised over $25,000, and
through the support of family and
friends. The $3,500 scholarship is
awarded every year to a student who’s
excelled academically, demonstrated
agricultural commitment and industry
experience, and has shown community
involvement and volunteerism.
Jon Sobol obtained his Journeyman’s
Certification of Culinary Excellence and
Culinary Red Seal in 2006, after his in-
terest in the culinary field was piqued
during a Rotary exchange to France at
the age of 17. He began working as
a member of the culinary staff at the
Rimrock Hotel in Banff and as a result
entered into the two-year accelerated
culinary program at SAIT. He later ac-
cepted the executive chef position with
Redwater Rustic Grille before moving
on to Farm Restaurant on 17th Avenue
in Calgary, and finally was hired as
the executive chef at Starbelly. He was
known to value the farm-to-plate con-
cept, supporting local farmers in the
area and buying local, and he volun-
teered at Haysboro Elementary School
where he played an active role in the
creation of a community garden on

Strathmore riders join hundreds to rally for young boy
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Associate Editor
Eight members of the recently estab-
lished local Guardians of the Children
(GOC) chapter jumped on their motor-
cycles – with a toy in hand – and joined
200 club members, other organizations
and even Batman in Calgary on Satur-
day, to celebrate the birthday of a five-
year-old boy who lost his father just
days before.
The president of the Strathmore chap-
ter, who goes by his road name Chico,
heard about a young mother who was
looking for members of the public to
provide her son, Sayber, with love and
support during his birthday party cel-
ebrations after her ex-boyfriend and the
child’s father took his own life last Tues-
day.
Chico took to social media to gather
more involvement and was soon con-
tacted by the president of Alberta Ad-
vantage Outfitters. The company do-
nated an all-paid fishing weekend for
Sayber and his mother Chelsea Belland.
With donation in hand, a motorcycle
toy in the other and accompanied by
eight chapter members, Chico made his
way to the Canadian Tire parking lot in
in Shawnessy in Calgary. Once there,
he watched as Sayber was met with the
sight of over 200 motorcycles, several
families and even a Batman imperson-
ator complete with the Batmobile.
“At one point everyone decided to
sing happy birthday and I broke down,”
said Chico. “It was so overwhelming. I
was so happy with joy, it was so power-
ful having 200 people sing happy birth-
day to this boy who lost his father and
everybody is there for him.
“I’m so proud that we could help.
Sure, they’re not in Strathmore, but you
know what happens when we don’t have
boundaries, we go wherever; if there is a
need for help for a child, we’ll go.”
Twenty-two-year-old Belland met Bry-
ton Winters when she was only 14 years
old, and he was 16. While the relation-
ship was plagued with physical, emo-
tional and substance abuse, Belland said
Winters’s love and commitment to their
son, who was born two years later, nev-
er wavered.
According to Belland – who herself
was forced to leave the home and spi-
ralled down a path that at times left
her homeless and vulnerable – Winters
struggled with growing up in a family
dealing with alcoholism and was taken
in by the mother of a former girlfriend
who became a stabilizing force in his
life and a grandmother for Sayber.
Yet on Aug. 14, just two weeks after
Sayber’s fifth birthday and four days be-
fore his birthday party, Belland, who has
been separated from Winters for the past
three years and turned her life around
for her fiancé, son and infant daughter,
received a devastating phone call from
Winters’s guardian.

Some people claim to be a “morning person” while
others are night owls. Is one better for one’s health
than the other? A huge survey of over 400,000
people in England concluded there was a 10%
higher risk of death from all causes in those who
preferred late nights to early mornings. The study
found that those who preferred late nights were
more impulsive and used psychoactive substances
more.
The skin can become thinner and almost
transparent with age. The hands, arms and legs
are most affected and can become papery thin.
Bruising and skin tears can occur more frequently.
The causes include just getting older, excess sun
exposure, smoking and alcohol consumption.
Also use certain cortisone-like creams can also
contribute. The condition is not reversible but
regular use of moisturizing creams and protecting
the skin with garments can help.
Is there a right time to announce a pregnancy?
Some women feel that 12 weeks is an appropriate
time because that’s when an ultrasound is usually
performed and the resulting picture adds a sense
of reality to it all. Also, because the risk of a
miscarriage is greater during the first trimester, the
feeling is to keep things quiet till after three months.
But it’s good to share the news with those closest
to you.
Health Canada has formulated laws governing the
sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products. The laws
+tax
will prohibit the sale of vaping products to minors,
ban flavours aimed at young people and prohibit
any marketing that features testimonials, health

It was questioned whether oversight ensures

“You are operating a fire department currently

said Burke.
He gave examples of things currently missing
in county services. Cluny fire questioned why
new equipment was locked in a hall where black
mould was detected and whether health concerns
of the fire crews were checked. Expired bunker
gear, boots and over-reliance on mutual aid con-
tracts were stated. Burke said 29 per cent of the
Carseland West calls were redirected to other ser-
vices.
The regional district fire chief Judy Unsworth
indicated she would have to check records to
verify numbers of mutual aid responses but con-

hall finding enough volunteer fire-fighters. She
said expired gear might have been used in prac-
tise sessions but would be terminated going for-

fire-fighters.

mandated, and it left nothing to negotiate in fire
services agreements. He said oversight almost
eliminates the need for rural fire associations and
it turns them from contractors into workers. He
asked if there was an ulterior agenda in the doc-
ument, or conspiracies to get rid of the rural fire
associations and relocate resources.
Wheatland County Reeve Glenn Koester re-
plied that was not the case and he stated he has
fought to keep rural fire associations. He prom-
ised equipment would not be moved around to
meet call requirements.
Many in attendance said the contributions and
fundraising done by community members led to
a pride of ownership.
One part of the bylaw states assets purchased,
in part or in whole by the county, would be listed
with the county as owner. This would be on any
equipment purchase after the date of approval on
the bylaw. Residents wanted financial contribu-
tions by the community and fire associations pro-
tected in the bylaw.
“You are dealing with people who have given
countless hours of their lives to their communi-
ties. You are dealing with people who have do-
nated assets to these communities,” said Kelle-
man-Tagchuk.
As to the added recording and reporting, it was
stated the increase in the amount of documenta-
tion and paperwork would need a part-time ad-
ministrative assistant for each service to comply
with the guidelines, whose wages would need to
be provided by the county.
“We value the service by the each of the
fire-fighters in this room. We want this to work.
We also have responsibilities as council, and gov-
erning the municipality, to cover off liabilities,”
said Councillor Amber Link.
She stated it wasn’t just about money, but
fire-fighter safety, protecting the ratepayers and
their property, as well as medical response.
“I think we’re talking about two different issues
here,” said Councillor Ben Armstrong. “One is the
fire service agreement and one is the fire bylaw.
There is a fire bylaw currently in place now. If
this one is squashed, that fire bylaw would still
be in effect. The majority of what we have talked
about here is in that bylaw. We have cleaned it
up and taken two other bylaws and incorporated
them into the same bylaw. So it’s basically the
same bylaw, with a few changes, we are already
working under. I think the big discussion is the
fire service agreement. We have committed that
once the bylaw is in place, we will be going out
to all the fire associations and sitting down and
working on our services with each of our individ-
ual fire departments, because you are all differ-
ent. Each one of you has different training skills.
Each has different equipment. We need to know
what that is and those fire agreements will dictate
what kind of fire service is in those areas. I don’t
think there is an issue there. Council has always
been willing to do that (discuss issues) and will
continue to be willing to do that.”
Second reading was postponed until a meeting
can be held with stakeholders to get input into
changes to the bylaw and clarify communication.

New fire bylaw limits liability
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Risk management was on
Wheatland County council’s
mind Aug. 14, when they re-
viewed a new fire services by-
law drafted to address liability
and safety issues across fire ser-
vices in the county.
Joanne Klauer, legal counsel
for the county, presented ratio-
nale and legal interpretation of
the new bylaw to clarify its con-
tent for council and those pres-
ent at the meeting.
“There is recognition of the
responsibility, and importantly,
the liability by the county in the
context of current legislation,”
said Klauer.
There were changes to the
provincial Occupational Health
and Safety Act, Worker’s Com-
pensation and provincial fire
regulations. Klauer said the
new bylaw looks at fire protec-
tion in a holistic manner.
The move to a new bylaw was
an attempt to consolidate con-
tent in bylaw 2010-03, 2014-31
and bylaw 2017-44 into a com-
prehensive fire services bylaw,
bringing a minimum level of
consistency to all the fire ser-
vices in the county.
The revision was based on a
fire service bylaw currently in
use in Vulcan County, which
also incorporates agreements
with a fire association.
The county recognised it
needed to protect the safety
of fire-fighters, the public and
properties, while addressing li-
ability issues that may arise for
the county in provision of fire
services.
“Instead of Wheatland County
operating in separate fire dis-
tricts, there is more of Wheat-
land County council looking at
the overall picture in the county,
regardless of the jurisdictional
boundaries,” said Klauer. “What
does Wheatland County council
want to provide to its residents
across the county from border
to border? What are its available
resources and what’s the best
allocation of those resources?”

Author in line for provincial recognition
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
For the second time in as many years, local au-
thor John Godsman, who is known for his book
series Remembering Our Roots, is nominated for a
Minister’s Senior Service Award.
Godsman has interviewed over 150 senior citi-
zens in Strathmore, Wheatland County and area
since 2010, interviews that have appeared as col-
umns published in the Strathmore Times for the
past seven years.
With three volumes on the shelves, his work de-
picts the lives of seniors living in the area, many
with roots spanning decades.
His undertaking, along with his volunteer work,
were noticed by former Strathmore Mayor Michael
Ell, who nominated the now 82-year-old last year.
While only eight of the 84 nominees received the
award in 2017, all candidates received a certificate.
Unwilling to let his work go unnoticed, Strath-
more town councillor Denise Peterson nominated
Godsman for a second time, which means he’s
now in possession of the same certificate for 2018,
and continues to await the announcement of the
winners later this summer.
“Our community has benefited exponentially
through John’s sacrifice of time and talent,” wrote
Peterson in a letter included in the application.
She added that Godsman donated the profits from
his second book to the Siksika Outreach School.
“His writing has brought about a greater level
of respect and understanding for our community’s
senior population. While a few stories might have
been of interest, 160 stories form an anthropol-
ogy for the ages. The local historical society, the
seniors groups in our communities and the local
schools have all benefited from this rich history.”
Godsman was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, where
he grew up with one younger brother. When his
12-year career in the Royal Air Force came to an
end in 1966, jobs were scarce. Therefore Godsman,
his wife Anne and their three-year-old son packed
up their belongings and travelled 6,500 miles to
North America where the then 32-year-old thought
he had a job secured. When he reached Vancouver
on Canada Day in 1967, Godsman found out he
was too old for a job with the department of trans-
port, despite having a job interview and a medi-
cal examination at Canada House in London, Eng-

his family, Godsman accepted a job as a fuel flow
calculator at the airport, which lasted three years.
He then went to a head hunter and found out he
was suited best for a job dealing with the public;
he subsequently answered an ad to work in the
life insurance industry – a career that spanned 32
years until his retirement in 2002.
In 2000, John and Anne moved to Strathmore.
By 2009, Godsman grew bored during the win-
ter months, and when his wife gave him the book
Strathmore: The Village that Moved, he was in-
spired by the second half of the book that provid-
ed histories on the people who lived in Strathmore
in the early 1970s and 1980s.

Interested in finding out what happened to these
families and what they were up to now, Godsman
approached the Strathmore Standard, who took
interest in the project. In 2010 he would publish
his first article, and a year later he approached the
Strathmore Times, and turned his research into
columns.

Weather Radar Construction
at Strathmore in Alberta
Description of the radar project
The Government of Canada is modernizing its weather-forecasting infrastructure
and will proceed with the replacement of its aging weather radars with new modern
radar systems by March 2023. This initiative will ensure that Canadians are better
informed on changing weather, water, and climate conditions and that they have
more lead time to take appropriate actions to protect themselves, their family, and
their property from the effects of severe weather.
The new Strathmore radar will continue to provide coverage for the Calgary Area
and will consist of a 16-metre open lattice steel tower with a 11.8-metre diameter
radome at the top (sphere covering the antenna), for a total height of approximately
29.1 metres including lightning protection rods.
Radar location
The radar is located at 261045 Rng Rd 252, Strathmore, AB T1P1K2, a property
owned by Environment and Climate Change Canada. The geographic coordinates
of the proposed radar site are: 51°12’22.53” N, 113°23’57.49” W.

Johnson unusual rugby journey ready for another season
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Jerry Flaws is a nice man, an excellent educator
and a wise athletic coach. He is very understand-
ing for the most part, except for one occasion four
years ago, when he told Avery Johnson, one of his
former students, that she had to sign up for rugby.
Johnson was just minding her business at Strath-
more High School when she was given an offer she
couldn’t refuse.
“I was in the gym one day and Flaws came up
to me and told me I didn’t have a choice and that
he signed me up for rugby,” recalled Johnson, who
is about to start her second season with the Uni-
versity of Alberta Pandas. “After that one season, I
felt like I shot myself in the foot by not signing up
earlier. I absolutely love the sport.”
An athlete growing up in Strathmore once her
family moved here from Edmonton at the age of
10, Johnson competed in individual sports for the
most part. She has competed in several triathlons
(her mother is the Tri-Smore director), she raced
with the Strathmore Silver Sharks Swim Club and
she ran with the Strathmore High School cross-
country team.
“I knew she was a very determined athlete, she
was very coachable and would try anything you
asked her to do,” said Flaws. “Those factors turned
her into a great rugby player.”
Each year, Flaws enters the exhibition season for
the Spartans girl’s rugby team with a handful of
players that have never played a second of rugby
before. So when he finally convinced Johnson and
her mother that rugby was a perfect option, he was
used to dealing with athletes that were green to
the sport.
“As a team, the first couple of games are always
rough,” said Flaws. “Nobody fully understands the
game, but Avery picked it up very quickly. Maybe it
only took her one game to figure some things out,
but she took off from there.”
One year of rugby wasn’t enough for Johnson,
so following her freshman year at the University of
Alberta, she signed up with the Edmonton Rock-
ers Women’s Rugby Club, where she was spotted
by an assistant coach with the University of Leth-
bridge, who tried to recruit her to come play rugby
in Lethbridge. But Johnson had bigger ideas for
her future.
Changing things up after her first year of col-
lege, Johnson took an 18-month break from the
sport and departed for Nashville, Tenn. on a mis-
sion with her church to help people overcome ob-
stacles in their life.
Upon returning, she still had an itch for rugby.
She returned home after the trip and signed up
with the Calgary Saracens Athletic Club women’s
team. Realizing she still had the skillset to be an ef-
fective player on the pitch, Johnson showed up to
the open tryout for the University of Alberta Pan-
das program.
“(Lethbridge’s) assistant coach came up to me
one day a while back and asked me to come try
out,” said Johnson. “I really liked my program at the

wants a bigger role this year,” said Parrish.

the Pandas and hopes to be on the opening day roster

Keep seeing the positive side of
life. You need to know that when
you put your trust in God, He will
never let you down. He had said
that “For I know the thoughts
that I think towards you, saith
the Lord, thought of peace and
not of evil to give you a hope and
future.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
You don’t need to doubt God’s
promises and plans for your life
in order not to give enemy upper
hand over your life.
No matter what, be optimistic
and positive about your life and
future on earth. The game of
life might not be favourable to
you right now, but that doesn’t
mean that it’s still not going to
be favourable. Whatever you
are trusting to have or aspiring
to acquire, all what you need
is to be optimistic and not be
pessimistic about because
when you are pessimistic, you
are bound to lose precious life
opportunities and connections.
Be positive, be optimistic and
expectant. You will get what you
desire.
Shalom!

Jones teaches, works on Olympic journey

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
A self-fulfilling prophecy might help Tamara
Jones achieve her Olympic dreams.
Jones, a 28-year-old Strathmore transplant, is
doing everything in her powers to represent Can-
ada in skateboarding at the 2020 Summer Olym-
pic Games.
After a busy summer of training and competi-
tions, Jones’ back flared up. With her health be-
coming normal again, Jones has opened up her
busy time to help the next generation of local
skaters.
Whenever she has free time, Jones is offering
up her skills as a skateboarder to teach one-on-

We are pleased to welcome
one lessons to youth.
“I’ve had people reach out online and in per-
son, and I think this is a pretty good idea for me
to help them and they would really be able to
help me in return,” said Jones,
For Jones’ services, kids of any age can learn
about the different parts of a skateboard, the ba-
sics of how to ride for beginners and skatepark
etiquette.
For more advanced riders, Jones can expand
the lessons to more difficult tricks, such as rails
and bigger jumps.
“I did a few of these earlier in the summer be-
fore I got too busy and I think kids really enjoyed
learning about the sport of skateboarding,” said
the New Westminster product Jones.

Jones is comfortable working with small groups, too. She
believes bringing a group of friends out might be a more
welcoming environment for beginners.
The lessons come at a fee and vary depending on the
length or number of sessions. All proceeds from her teach-
ing clinics will be spent on getting her to the Am Getting
Paid street park competition in Montreal, which runs Sept.
28 and 29.
The contest offers a $10,000 cheque for the winner, and
for the first time in the event’s history, it will feature a wom-
en’s division.
“I competed back in this event in 2007. Back then, there
was no girl’s division. I went and skated against 100 other
guys,” said Jones. “This year, we finally have our own divi-
sion and it pays the same as the men’s event.”
The three-minute qualification jam rides go Sept. 28, with
the Top 10 riders advancing to the finals the following day.
This event should be the latest and best litmus test for Jones
in regard to her national ranking.
Before motherhood, Jones was one of the top-ranked
skaters in Canada. Earlier this summer, she showed she can
still stomp out the tricks when she was the only female to
advance to the open final of the Best Foot Forward com-
petition in Vancouver on July 2. She also won the women’s
division back in June at an event presented by D.C. Shoes
in Rimbey.
“Any time you can show well at an event, it certainly
helps the confidence when I’m back training,” said Jones.
Knowing where she stands nationally will be a big help
heading into the winter, as information about the Olympic
team begins to leak out.

Dr. Keely
Jones has heard rumours that Olympic qualifying will be

Abercrombie tests from January 2019 to May of 2020. The list of events is
not released yet, but Jones believes Team Canada will take
three girls in the street and three more for the park-based
to our Valley Medical Team. competitions to the Olympics.
“There is still a lot of work to do, but it feels great to help
