Wheatland and Adjacent Districts Emergency Medical Services Association (WADEMSA) are waiting to hear back from Alberta Health Services (AHS) regarding a five-year contract for service. A one-year extension for service was given April 1, 2012, when the previous three-year contract expired. The province gave WADEMSA a deadline of November 2012, to provide financial information for the anticipated fiveyear contract, which WADEMSA met. AHS contacted WADEMSA in February to clarify information provided, but there has been no date set to continue contract negotiations. There are EMS services in Alberta as direct delivery or are private and operate on a service for profit basis. Most contracts with these services have been negotiated, however many of the not-forprofit services, like WADEMSA have not settled and are awaiting negotiations as well. Wheatland Council representatives felt that delays by AHS might be due to problems presented by the recent restructuring of services. It is difficult to deal with when nothing is in place. There is frustration with the delayed process. When deadlines are in place, they move the deadline, said Reeve Glenn Koester. Councillors commended WADEMSA staff for keeping very good statistics. Call volumes are ahead this year. Union Contract talks for WADEMSA paramedics are also ongoing. The Health Services Association of Alberta represents the WADEMSA medics. Medics involved in direct delivery services, such as Calgary and Edmonton, have separate contract negotiations from medics in contracted services. AHS settled with Calgary paramedics in April 2012 with a three per cent wage increase each year for threeyear contract. A WADEMSA spokesperson said that it is difficult to know what wage considerations to ask for without knowing what the province will allow in the Service contract. It is speculated that union talks may be delayed until after AHS ratifies the Service contract.

TIPS
Who is insured?
You have answered all our questions, and in some cases jumped through our hoops to get your things insured. You leave the office and think everything is swell. But often this topic gets forgotten! If your name is actually on the policy, and you have signed the application, you are now considered to be a named insured. This means valancy mitchell that you are not only insured, but can Account executive make changes to your policy to your hearts content. If there are two people H Home named on the policy, however, and you separate, one of you needs to sign H FArm yourself off the policy. Until then, you are both responsible to make sure the H AuTo premium gets paid. (you do not want to be cancelled for non-payment or H GrouP you may not be eligible for monthly ProGrAmS payments for quite some time). What if your name is not on the H CommerCIAl policy? In some cases, such as, if you are a relative living in the same H reCreATIon household and your belongings get stolen or water damaged, likely they H lIFe would be covered. Unless you are paying rent, and then you may need to H TrAvel get a tenants policy to cover your stuff. Take ACTION If you are not named on the policy but have lived with the insured for Against High three years, you could be considered common-law and be covered this Premiums way. Also, if you have a child together you could also be covered. If you are storing belongings at a friends garage, they could be covered under your own policy for theft and damage for a certain amount of time. ALWAYS KEEP RECIEPTS for big ticket items! If you are renting somewhere and have roommates, you each need to have your own tenant insurance, as only the belongings of the named insured will be covered. If you rent your house to somewhere, know that only your actual house and appliances are all thats covered. There are of course exceptions and exclusions to every rule, but if you are wondering who is insured for what, make sure you talk to your broker.

After collecting funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDFR) as part of a Strathmore High School initiative, Rachel Rogers (r) presented JDRF volunteer Susan Shearer with a cheque for $821.86.

Every year Wheatland Elementary school does a Walk for a Cure, focusing on something that affects a member of the student body or staff. Six years ago they walked for diabetes. It was just neat to see that six years later shes still raising money, still trying to find a cure for diabetes, said Shearer. Shearer said she loves the idea that the high school decided that the students have to raise money for a charity of their choice in order to become prom king and queen. JDRF is Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation so the goal is to find a cure, so all the money that is raised for JDRF through events, or functions or individuals, all goes to research and finding a cure. So every bit helps, said Shearer. Im just hopeful that in my sons lifetime there will be a cure. My niece and nephew are diabetic as well. When youre younger like that you shouldnt have to worry about counting carbs. When you go to a birthday party (and) they have cake, how much is in the cake. They have to become planners, they have to think about things that they shouldnt have to think about, they cant be a kid. They have to do all this other stuff that we dont think about, let alone having to take the needles themselves.

My child is gone
Sharon McLeay Times Contributor A mothers worst nightmare is turning around and finding her child has disappeared. Locating the lost child by the quickest means necessary is the most effective way to recover the child. Everyone has a story as a child, of hiding to give their mother a fright, but for those whose child actually disappears and cant be found, the loss is unimaginable, said Becky Scheer, who works with Missing Children Society of Canada (MCSC) as their Communications Officer. Not a day goes by that I fail to shed a tear for the families. I come home and hug my children tighter. Scheer, who originally hails from Strathmore, wants the public to know that MCSC is promoting a way for all Albertans and Canadians to see breaking Amber Alerts on missing children quickly. It enables those who use social networks to almost instantaneously spread the word and increase the chance for a sighting. We see this link as providing urgent information to people where they are at, said Scheer. Police already issue Amber alerts links to digital road signs and news stations. Scheer said with improvements in communication technology, alerts to social media were a way to highlight ways to help a missing child. People who access the website www. valuablenetwork.ca and accept the option of donating their Facebook and Twitter feeds will receive critical alerts, targeted to the areas where they live, on their Facebook wall and Twitter feeds. They can forward the alert to friends, or if they notice something related to the missing childs case, phone 911 or their local police force. Share the information and take the initiative to call the authorities. Every single tip could be the critical piece of the puzzle in an investigation, said Scheer. Scheer said people should not be hesitant to call for fear that it may be the wrong child. She said the investigators are all retired police officers, who over the years develop a type of sixth sense. The tips help them target and eliminate any leads that may be pertinent to the case. If callers want to remain anonymous, they can ask to do so. Statistics from the RCMP for 2011 show there were 46,718 reports of missing children in Canada. The MCSC webpage shows a breakdown of the reported cases of missing children as 25 abductions by strangers, 145 by parents, 33,259 runaways and 13,289 other. Scheer reassures those that access www.valuablenetwork.ca that they will not experience spam or have their private information shared through a back door process. They are able to delete the process if they desire. She says there are only about 60 Amber Alerts issued Canada-wide per year, so it will not radically interfere with their communications. Some people may be hesitant to call, because they may feel it is a parental issue or the child ran away from home for a reason. Scheer cautions that when a parent abducts a child, the child is in physical, emotional and psychological danger, just by removing them from their regular environments. The stress of the situation may put more pressures on the parent to do irrational things. By calling, people can help the family on their long journey back to a healthy status, said Scheer, who said social services are involved when the child reunites with the custodial parent. As for children fleeing an unsafe home atmosphere, Scheer said the child experiences greater danger by taking to the streets. The physical supports of food, shelter and access to resources are gone. Prostitution and human traffickers find runaways an attractive prospect. Scheer would like teens considering a runaway situation to contact other resources like a friend, close adult, teacher or social agency rather than taking to the streets. For more information on the process, on missing children postings or MCSC, it can be accessed at www.mcsc.ca or by calling toll free 1-800-661-6160.

that included: eliminating multiple layers of redundant bureaucratic red-tape; collapsing and centralizing multiple governmental administrative functions; streamlining decision making processes; and many other measures that will save Canadian taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars every year going forward. The Government of Canada has an annual budgetary deficit to eliminate, and an accumulated national debt to pay down. Our challenge is to do this while global economic turmoil threatens our nations progress. Canadian taxpayers want the federal government to keep its hands off our wallets. Our Conservative government will balance the budget in the midterm. We will keep taxes low for hard-working Canadians and their families and we will continue to focus on providing jobs for Canadian workers and economic growth for our country. See you this summer!

Robert and Gwen Bolinger won the raffle from UFA Farmers Day for the new John Deere Gator Utility Vehicle.
Certified
Ill use it as a utility vehicle on the farm, it looks like its really handy, save having to traipse around in the 4x4 or the truck for a lot of things, said Bolinger. This is really good. If we had cows itd be really good for calving time, if early spring is cold just throw the calves in the back and take them to where its warm. Theyre pretty handy for just about anything. Well put it to good use. Weve had a gator since the early 90s and they are the handiest little vehicle to have on the farm, said Gwen. The Bolingers said they had been considering replacing their current Gator and Robert said the list price for the Gator they won is approximately $14,800.

Grade 7 drumming students from Holy Cross Collegiate performed for the residents of Wheatland Lodge.
Drum beats
Sharon McLEay Times Contributor Sarah Lyons is inviting you to try something new; to beat on a West African Djembe drum, in Kinsmen Park on July 11. Lyons has her Bachelor degree in music and is the band director at Holy Cross Collegiate School. Djembe is a traditional West African drum on which hundreds of rhythms can be played. I want everyone to come out and get a taste of listening to it and try it for themselves, said Lyons. Although Lyons major was in clarinet, she became interested in the Djembe drums. Her teacher was Trudy Hipwell, who studied under Mamady Keita from Guinea. Keita learned his art from an elder in his home in Balandougou, Guinea, where generations pass down the beats through oral tradition. Keita has competed in worldwide professional drumming competitions and later founded Sewa Beats, a company that teaches learning through rhythm and music. See a clip of Mamady Keita on You Tube. http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng6ChMfAgc&feature=related Lyons says her workshop will be a hands-on session to introduce the drums, and a more advanced session
The Standard Young at Heart Club were thrilled to show off their newly renovated kitchen and drop in centre after many months of hard work and dedication to the project. many volunteer hours went into the project and they had a wonderful open house to celebrate the completion. members of The Young at Heart Club in Standard proudly standing in front of their new kitchen.
where a complete song will be learned. She said being able to read the music is not a pre-requisite and everyone should come out, have fun and learn. The event is organized by the Hope Bridges Society. The society is hoping that by bringing arts to the community, it will foster meaningful relationships and change the perception of difference that includes belonging, inclusion, citizenship, and a stronger community. They are hoping everyone, including seniors, shut-ins and those with special needs turn out to enjoy the day together. Their new Coordinator, Wanda Reinholdt, is looking forward to speaking to those interested in the workshops. Reinholdt is an actress and artist and mentors artists. She is excited to get to know the various artists in the community. She will be available to register those interested in the drumming sessions, if they call 403-983-3640. The introductory session is $10 and runs at 12 noon. It will last about 35 minutes. The second more advanced session is $25 and will be about one hour and 45 minutes. It runs at 7 p.m. Hope Bridges is located in a new office in the old Home Hardware building across from Kinsmen Park. There will be a grand opening for the Hope Bridges office, later this year.

Stephen Waldschmidt can be seen playing the role of Jesus Christ for the fifth year in a row and this years Canadian Badlands Passion Play which begins on July 13.
Thank You
thank auctioneer
Paul Bland and
ied by live actors can effect you and makes the play beautiful. I think it is a must-see because we all need to be woken up and invited to live a better story with our lives, Waldschmidt said, and I say that regardless of ones religious inclinations. Waldschmidt also praises the music, saying it is amazing because the speakers are all hidden which makes the play that much better. The price of admission is worth it just to [hear the music]. Luke Bertman has composed an original score for the
play, and it is so profound. This play presents Jesuss life in a way that it will inspire and move people. Performances are scheduled for both evenings (6 p.m.) on July 13,14, 19 and 20 as well as afternoons (3 p.m.) on July 15, 21 and 22 in the outskirts of Drumheller. Ticket prices range from $17-$56 each based on performance date, the attendees age, and section. Please visit www.canadianpassionplay. com/tickets to pre-purchase your tickets.

Fulfilling a dream
Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter Rwanda, a place best known for the genocide in the 90s, is not usually somewhere people plan to go work for a few months. For Sacred Heart Academy teacher Sarah Watson, who has always wanted to go to Africa, its a dream come true. Watson will be in Rwanda from the beginning of August until December. Not a specific place, we were focusing on Tanzania because it is considered a little bit of a safer area of Africa, but in my head I wasnt saying I absolutely have to go here, or I have to go there, it was I want to go to Africa, said Watson. For some people who maybe arent religious it will sound corny but Ive always felt called to go there for whatever reason to do some kind of work. She loves volunteering and does quite a bit of it both in Strathmore and Calgary and said opportunities to travel and volunteer are passions of hers. She will be teaching at the Green Hills Academy, which is a private school. My understanding is I wont have a specific class but who knows I might get there and they might be putting me in a class because thats what they need at the time. What I have been told is, I am going there as a literacy coach for the teachers and I will be modeling lessons, I will be sharing resources. They have meetings every Wednesday and I will be getting a good chunk of the hour and half time that they have to act as PD for the teachers, said Watson. In preparation for her trip she had been speaking to the kindergarten and Grade 1 teachers to find out what sort of tips and strategies they use when teaching language arts. Her family is in Ontario and they are used to her being away from home. She said they are very excited because they know how much she wanted to do something like this, but they do, of course, have the nerves that come along with seeing your daughter head off to a distant, developeing country for a few months. Trying to think of everyday things she uses in Canada that might not be available there and then stocking up five months worth has been a little tough. Batteries are supposedly very expensive in Rwanda so she was told to bring a flashlight and batteries. I might pack a few things of Alfredo sauce or taco seasoning, just a few things to remind me as I eat the food that I havent heard too many good reviews about, Watson said laughing. Along with five months of clothing and personal supplies, Watson will also be bringing as many books and learning tools as she can. There are a couple of people from the Christ the Redeemer school board going to Rwanda just before she arrives and staying for a few days after. They are willing to take an extra piece of extra luggage for her. I have three pieces of extra luggage of school supplies that Im taking with me, school supplies and books. So thats kind of exciting, I could probably take 15 or 20 if I could, said Watson. Watson hopes to travel a bit if she can while there but it depends on wheather or not other teachers want to travel. She knows the school has drivers that they can hire, but for safety she will not be travelling by herself. Its just going to be an adventure, it really is. Im going to be very adaptable and flexible and Im just going to have to go with the flow and I just have to tell myself that every opportunity is a learning opportunity, said Watson. I know its a clich but it really is, its going to challenge me, its going to take me out of my comfort zone. What better way to grow as a person then by putting yourself in a situation like that and even just to appreciate (what you have). She thinks the more a person travels to countries like Africa and places that dont have the luxuries and amenities that we have, the more people can appreciate what they do have and see how much they take for granted.

Cory Johnson easily stepped into the role of mentor for Andrew Thomas ever since the Thomas family was introduced to him. Cory Johnson (left), Andrew Thomas, Lynn Thomas and Paul Thomas.
Johnson. The Special Olympic philosophy is to keep it at a level where everyone competing has an equal opportunity to win. For the Paralympics it is more of a challenge, you have to be one of the best to win. We want Andrew to challenge himself, and for Andrew to challenge himself we want him to compete with everybody, said Paul. Ive seen Andrew work harder at running then I ever have anything, and working so hard is so rewarding for him. On a normal Tuesday or Thursday Andrew gets up, jumps on the bus for school. After a half day at school he is off to Sobeys to work at 11:30 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. Then Johnson picks him up and they head into the city to run at either the Glenmore Athletic Park or the Foothills Athletic Park. He doesnt get home until late in the evening around 8 p.m., then pretty much heads straight to bed. The whole thing were trying to achieve here is to get Andrewwere trying to make it so that Andrew is category with other people around the world called Teir 20 which is for people with intellectual disabilities, so that he can compete at a level as high as he wants to go, and maybe his ultimate goal could be going to the Paralympics, said Johnson. Thats is definitely something that he talks about, thats what keeps him moving, thats what keeps him going because thats what he wants, said Lynn. Andrew by doing this hes going to teach a lot of people about autism, overcoming barriers and being the best you can be, said Johnson. In a way Andrew is a trail blazer and its going to allow somebody who is in his situation one day to be able to see the possibilities.

Another season comes to an end
Outdoor soccer has wrapped up for another year. The weather was a bit of a challenge this year, cutting out a few games from the nine-week season. On June 27 soccer kids and their families gathered at Parkwood for the bouncy houses and BBQ, which were part of the windup.
Susan Moncks with husband Randy, daughters Lauren, Sara, Kristen and Kathryn and sister Donna Sanden-Nelson at the completion of the two day journey.
times heavy, sometimes gentle this was a journey of beauty the countryside, the open air, the riders, the sweat, the moments, the smiles, the volunteers at each stop, the emotion and clearly the purpose. At the finish line, the realization (hit) that you had accomplished something great for others and been a part of an epic experience. The rain poured down for hours at
our camp and we endured together the wet, cold and mud, but we all were there together and somehow this group of strangers still smiled and worked through an emotional and powerful few hours like no other.

Promoting CF awareness
Shannon leClair Times Reporter Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a disease that kills from within. A thick mucus builds in the lungs and other organs, making every breath a struggle and basically drowning CF sufferers from the inside. CF is also a disease that is not well known, which is one reason why Olivier Boulais and Calgary musician David DeWolfe are biking across Canada. Raising money for CF Canada is great, but DeWolfe said, more importantly for us this is like an awareness campaign, when he stopped in Strathmore on June 28. It was a year and a half ago when he first even heard what CF is. Since then DeWolfe has immersed himself in finding out more, and came up with the idea to bike from Vancouver, BC to Halifax, Nova Scotia to raise awareness and money for research. He spent eight months training to prepare for the start of his trek, which began on June 15. It was useless, I may as well not have trained at all and saved myself eight months of worrying and just gone into. I dont think it matters how much you train, nothing prepares you for the Rockies, said DeWolfe laughing. The ride is approximately 8,400 kilometres and the two men hope to raise $10,000. The ride so far has not been without its ups and downs. Besides wet weather conditions, and aches and pains the men werent prepared for, they have also lost their sponsored flight and dont quite know how they are getting home.
David DeWolfe and Oliver Boulais stopped in Strathmore on June 28 for a bit to eat before hitting the road again. The two men are biking across Canada to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. Back from left: David DeWolfe and Oliver Boulais. Front from left: Jayden Courtemanche, Rylan Courtemanche, Lavin mammel and Chase Gingerich.

Nelson, Jean
Thank You
The families of Jean Nelson would like to thank everyone who visited Mom while she was in the Lodge and hospital. A very special thanks to those who attended the graveside service and the lunch afterwards. Our gratitude goes out to Moms special friend Robin Wenzel who took such good care of her over the past several years, Leni Tishauser, RN who was always so good to Mom and to Janet Helfrich who always made Mom laugh. Special thanks to Pastor Dawn Nelson for the wonderful service, Carol Clarkson for singing and Sarah from the Wheatland Funeral Home for all her assistance throughout this very difficult time. And last but not least, thank you to all the ladies at the Wheatland Lodge who took care of Mom and to Vicki for allowing us to have the lunch there after the service. Your caring and kindness will always be remembered. Kathy, Bobby and families

To our Family & Friends for helping us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Thanks to Fr. Larry for the beautiful service; St. Ritas Choir for the special music; for the lovely flowers in the church; and to our children for taking part in the service. We were so blessed to have all of our original wedding party in attendance. Our family did a wonderful job of planning, organizing & arranging our celebration day. The program was great fun and we appreciate all the hard work that went into it. We especially enjoyed the personal wishes in the video from each of our sons and their families. Thanks for all the gifts, cards, flowers and mass cards. Thanks to Manny for taking the pictures. Thanks to Kims Katering for the great family dinner and lunch for the open house and to our daughter-in-laws for providing the squares. It was a wonderful day that we will always remember and treasure. Ron & Bea Corbiell
