The Ice Bucket Challenge is a craze
thats been sweeping the nation rais-
ing funds and awareness for ALS. The
challenge requires you ll a bucket
with ice and water, make a video of
yourself dumping the bucket over your
head, and nominate three other people
to take part. Those nominated have 24
hours to accept or deny the challenge.
If they cant take part they are to do-
nate $10, and those who wont take the
challenge are requested to donate $100
to ALS.
The challenge has made its way to
Strathmore, and on Aug. 18 Strathmore
town Councillors Bob Sobol and Pat
Fule took part, as did our own Strath-
more Times reporter Justin Seward.
I have somebody thats a friend of
mine thats got a form of ALS and it re-
ally is a debilitating disease. Its your
voice that goes, your speech, your mo-
tor control, your ability to walk; its just
so tragic. Its just something to raise
a little awareness and a little money,
said Sobol
If dumping a bucket of cold water
on you raises awareness thats great. A
lot of people dont understand that the
lifespan is so short for people with ALS
and how terrible it is.
Sobol nominated Staff Sgt. Kevin
Reilly, his brother Joe Sobol, and Coun-
cillor Denise Peterson to take the chal-
lenge. He had also set a personal goal
of raising $500, and was half way there
as of Aug. 18.
Fules nominations for the challenge
were Colin Huxted, Bas Owel and Dale
Smith.
Its just an amazing cause. Its just
amazing how fast it has gone viral, Ive
known a few people who have suc-
cumbed to ALS and its just a horrible
disease, said Fule.
Im thinking of Kyle Ruppe, hes
been incredibly brave. For people like
that if we can generate more money
and awareness and nd a way to stop
this terrible disease its just great, any-
thing I can do to help raise money and
awareness is important, and I hate wa-
ter.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is often referred to as
Lou Gehrigs disease. The disease commonly affects people
between the ages of 40 and 60.
It is a progressive and fatal disease. Eventually the body
succumbs to paralysis and the respiratory system becomes
compromised, which leads to most affected patients dying of
respiratory failure and pneumonia after a few years.
Pete Frates, baseball team captain for Boston College, start-
ed the now viral trend. In 2012, at 27-years-old, he was given
the ofcial news that he had ALS. It was this past July that
one of Frates friends introduced him to the Ice Bucket Chal-
lenge that was to originally raise awareness for the charity of
peoples choice. He asked his friends to take part for him and
to do the challenge for his charity and his cause, ALS. Sud-
denly athletes all over Boston were doing it, and then it went
viral and everyone seems to be getting in on the action. On
Aug. 14 Frates nally personally took part in the challenge
at Fenway Park. To nd out more about ALS, and about the
challenge go to www.als.ca.

Blue-green algae blooms are once again painting lakes and
streams in Wheatland County. The county website posted a
health advisory for the blooms in Eagle Lake and the Severn
Creek reservoir.
We post the warnings as a precautionary measure to
ensure our residents safety, said David Churchill general
manager of Transportation and Infrastructure for Wheatland
County.
The blue-green algae are a form of bacteria called cyano-
bacteria, which lives in water bodies year round. Warmer
weather heats up the water and the algae reproduce, sending
out blooms that give the water paint-like consistency for the
duration of their bloom. The algae blooms also secrete toxins
that can cause skin rashes, fever, eye irritations, nausea and
diarrhea to those that come in contact with the water.
We had one patch develop near the resort, but later in the
day it blew away, said Leslie Pringle, manager at Eagle Lake
RV resort.
The lake is the same as always, said Pringle.
She said notices are posted year round as a safety measure,
but often the warnings are blown out of proportion by the
media. She also questioned some of the criteria used by the
health inspectors.
She said she and her employees have lived in the area for
over 20 years and swam in Eagle Lake without repercussions.
She does caution patrons when the blooms are happening,
but lets them decide for themselves about using the lake at
that time.
Health experts are advising that people, their pets, or live-
stock should avoid going into the water, ingesting the water
or eating sh that live in blue-green infested waters. Reports
state that severe liver damage can occur through prolonged
exposure to the toxins over time.
Even boiling the water wont remove the toxin from the
water, so those that rely on the water in bloom infested areas
are encouraged to use bottled water, or nd another source
of water for themselves and their livestock until the blooms
dissipate.
Blue-green algae blooms are a problem in areas all across
Canada.
Those looking to decrease the size of blooms point their
attention to decreasing phosphorous levels entering water
systems. Rain causes phosphorous rich fertilizer from adja-
cent farmlands to enter streams. Urban areas have phospho-
rous input by water passing over roof shingles and entering
storm waters and use of phosphorous laden household prod-
ucts such as laundry and cleaning solutions.
Some municipalities have used a copper sulfate solution,
triploid carp sh that eat the algae, mechanical harvesting of
the algae and aeration of ponds where it is found.
Watch for toxic bloom

The Strathmore Handi-Bus is experiencing scheduling
problems, due to the increased demand for its services.
Gundy LaChance, a Strathmore resident, booked the
Strathmore Handi-Bus weeks in advance, to provide a return
trip for her elderly mother (age 94) to a dental appointment.
There was no problem with the drop off, but LaChance de-
nitely had some complaints about the subsequent pickup.
Her mother waited several hours with no denite time giv-
en for when the bus would arrive for her mothers pickup.
She said her inquiries were responded to in a rude manner,
when she asked for a more precise time.
This is disgusting. You dont leave an older person sitting
that long, said LaChance.
LaChance had heard that there were problems with the
Handi-Bus from other people and after this incident she was
ready to believe there is a concern.
Wheatland Councillor Alice Booth has often said the ser-
vice is struggling to meet the need of medical calls, let alone
those clients calling for social reasons. She said many calls
are medical appointments in Calgary, where one request can
take two to four hours to complete.
Florence Vander Velde, a board member for the society
said the society is funded by donations. She said the Handi-
Bus has a priority system set out by the board, but the trips
to Calgary can cause other calls to back up, as the patients or
drivers may not be given specic times for patients waiting
for hospital discharges, lab tests, health consultations and
doctors appointments.
I would say 99 per cent of the time scheduling is man-
aged efciently and one per cent of the time people have to
wait, said Vander Velde. The service has six buses and we
will be adding another in the fall.
She said there are a lot of calls from Sagewood and most
of the other senior centres provide their own transportation
for their clients.
The Handi-Bus service issue has been discussed in the
media several times over the last six months. The Town of
Strathmore, County of Wheatland, Alberta Health Services,
the taxi services, Sagewood, and the Strathmore public have
been presented with a request to nd a way to ease the
pressures on the service, but no answers to an overbooked
service have surfaced.
The Strathmore adult day program recently received no-
tice that AHS would no longer pay for seniors trips to the
day program offered by Alberta Health Services. The Handi-
Bus transports up to eight patients a day to the program.
Vander Velde said if these seniors have to rely on cab ser-
vices it would denitely be a burden on their budgets. She
said the day program had a dedicated bus for the program
and she wondered where the funding would go and what
would happen to that bus.
We regret any inconvenience this change will cause for
the clients of the program. AHS is no longer able to oper-
ate this bus service in a safe and economical manner. The
bus was donated some time ago and has several mechanical
problems that require the bus to be taken out of service,
said Brenda Hubbard, AHS Vice President and Chief Opera-
tions Ofcer for Central and Southern Alberta. This change
allows AHS to focus its resources on health care services,
rather than on transportation, which is not a core health care
service. This is also consistent with how clients travel to and
from day programs in other communities.
Hubbard said clients would be dealt with on a one-on-
one basis. In cases of nancial hardship, clients may be con-
nected with either the Ministry of Human Services or AHS.

There are many residents questioning why the swimming
pool is closed. The staff have said that the closure is for peo-
ples safety, and sanitizing the pool is not just a matter of
scooping out the offending material.
A diarrheal fecal incident is a higher risk event. Those who
swim when ill with diarrhea place other swimmers at signi-
cant risk for getting sick. Fecal incidents are a concern and
an inconvenience to both pool operators and patrons. The
pool needs to be closed to protect the health and safety of
swimmers and to properly disinfect the water, said Brenda
Condon, pool manager.
Condon outlined the following complex steps that are tak-
en by staff when contamination is discovered:
1. Clear the pool of all patrons.
2. Turn off the UV lamp, pool chemicals and circulation
pump.
3. Remove as much fecal matter as possible using a net and
dispose of the material into a toilet.
4. Vacuum the pool, if necessary, into the waste drain.
5. The water is then super chlorinated to bring the chlorine
up to the level required by Alberta Health.
6. Depending on the level of the chlorine, the pool will
need to sit for 12 to 25 hours to ensure proper disinfection.
7. Once the proper amount of time has passed, the chlorine
levels need to be brought back down to normal. This can take
a long time depending on what the chlorine level was at.
8. Water tests are completed every half hour to keep an
eye on where chlorine and PH levels are. This usually takes
one person dedicated to water tests. After nishing one set
of tests there is usually ve minutes before the testing begins
again.
9. In the meantime, everything and anything that may have
been contaminated must be thoroughly bleached.
10. Backwash the pool to clean the lters of any contami-
nation.
11. Balance the water chemistry. This is where it can get
tricky. Bringing the chlorine down can take a while. We use
sodium thiosulfate to reduce the chlorine level, but too much
can reduce the chlorine levels below what they need to be.
Using the rule of halves, we use half of the recommended
sodium thiosulfate and see what the result is. This process
continues until the chlorine has reached an acceptable level.
12. Once the water chemistry is properly balanced, water
samples are sent to the Provincial Lab for bacteriological
analysis and the pool is open for business once again.
13. Now it is time to complete all of the paperwork.
Condon said the Strathmore Aquatic Centre sells plastic
pants ($5.00) to cover the swimming diaper of anyone not yet
trained in bathroom habits. These plastic pants have a tighter
elastic around the legs and waist in order to keep in any pos-
sible fecal matter.
Condon expects the pool will be operational for the Ladies
Triathlon event and then open to the public.

The Animal Care Centre of Strath-
more is celebrating one year of op-
eration in their new building, west of
Strathmore on Hwy 1.
It has been wonderful. The new fa-
cility has allowed us to provide better
services, said Dr. Jodi Viste. having
the new indoor calving space has been
a blessing.
The centre has gone from 18 staff
members to 25.
We are drawing a client base from
Calgary and Strathmore, said Viste,
who said the highway location has im-
proved the centres visibility. We enjoy
drawing people into the Strathmore re-
gion and hope that it helps other busi-
nesses as well.
The centre now has partnerships with
the Town of Strathmore and Wheatland
County, caring for stray animals picked
up by bylaw ofcers, and they help out
the SPCA as well.
Prairie Paws Dog Grooming is situ-
ated next to the centre, and Viste said it
is very benecial.
The Animal Care Centre of Strath-
more often calls on the grooming ser-
vices, if they need something done
prior to treatment or surgery, and pet
owners can get grooming done before
or after checkups.
Vista said new growth for the centre
is more than staff members or client
numbers; it includes treatment knowl-
edge as well.
We would like to see more growth,
said Viste. An example of that is one of
our staff members is taking a physio-
therapy course, which we hope to offer
to our clients pets soon.
She said it will be appropriate for ar-
thritic pets or for post-surgical pets.
A special indoor section of the build-
ing is designated for large animals. She
said that Dr. Davis Rand is now doing
major knee surgery at the centre.
The centre also works the major ro-
deos in the area, consulting and treat-
ing animal injuries.
It even has a private room dedicat-
ed for clients and their small animals,
when there is a need to euthanize their
pet. It is a dedicated quiet space kept
for a little personal time between pet
and owner, prior to the pet leaving the
centre for cremation services.
The facility is bright, new and state of
the art, but a business is more than just
a building.
We have such a great team here. I
enjoy working with everyone and we
also have fun, said Viste.
Her staff is celebrating their anni-
versary with a camping weekend, but
Monday its back to putting animal
welfare rst.

The banning of smoking in public places is starting
to see positive changes in many areas of healthcare.
One beneft is a 10% drop in the rates of pre-term births
and childhood asthma where smoking bans have been
initiated. Unfortunately, only 16% of the people of the
world are covered by these non-smoking laws and 40%
of the worlds children are still exposed to second-hand
smoke.
A peptic ulcer is a breakdown in the protective lining
of the stomach or part of the small intestine. In the
old days prior to the 1970s, treatment consisted of
dietary changes, lots of antacids and possibly even an
operation. Today we know that most peptic ulcers are
caused by the bacterium, H. Pylori. It infects 1 in 4
people but most dont get an ulcer. Those that do can be
treated with antibiotics and a powerful acid-reducer. No
more bland diets or surgery today!
Pharmacists are asked about the benefts of eating
garlic or supplements to help certain ailments. It has
been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of
years in India, China and Egypt. The current scientifc
evidence says it may possibly be effective for reducing
high blood pressure, keeping arteries healthy, reducing
the risk of colon, rectal and stomach cancer (if eaten
raw). It is unlikely to help those with diabetes, peptic
ulcers, high cholesteol or preventing breast cancer.
Some people say that garlic helps prevent the common
cold. If it works for you, thats great. There is not a
lot of high quality evidence that this is so but the side
effects are minimal if you take it. Our pharmacists
can add a balanced perspective to many of the popular
herbal treatments. Theres a lot of hype out there. We
can add some common sense to it all. Consult your
doctor, too.

As the federal Conservatives are ramping up to elect their
representative for the new Bow River riding, the Electoral
District Association (EDA) President Stirling Fox cannot over-
emphasize the importance of Conservatives in the riding to
buy their memberships.
You basically have two weeks to get your membership
bought if you want to be a part of choosing who will repre-
sent the federal Conservatives (in the 2015 federal election),
said Fox.
To be eligible to vote, you must have had your membership
for at least 21 days before the voting deadline date. The na-
tional party called for the EDA to complete its candidate se-
lection process, as they will have to be vetted by the national
selection council in order to run in the election.
Most of the paperwork is complete, so we know that is in
order, explained Fox. Certainly memberships are available
from our board members, but most people go online (con-
servative.ca) and complete the process there.
The four men who are stepping forward are: Martin
Shields, current Mayor of Brooks; Rolly Ashdown, Councilor
and former Reeve of Rocky View County; Rob Anders, who is
currently serving as a federal MP for the Calgary West elec-
toral zone; and Gerard Lucyshyn, a Mount Royal University
professor who lives with his family in Langdon.
Martin Shields has been involved in politics since 2004.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Education and a
Master of Arts. Prior to his career in politics, Shields served
as a teacher and school administrator for 30 years and taught
part time as a university instructor for 20 years. He currently
serves as the Director of Strathmore-Brooks Alberta Conser-
vative Constituency Association and is a past President of the
Medicine Hat Federal Conservative Constituency Association.
Shields has been living in Brooks with his family for 35
years and is committed to the success and quality of the
community, shown through his involvement in various or-
ganizations such as the Alberta Library Trustees Association
(Board Member), the Alberta Urban Municipalities Associa-
tion (Vice-President), the Shortgrass Regional Library System
Board (Vice Chair Person), Palliser Regional Health Board
Conservative membership deadline looms
(Vice-Chair), and the Palliser Area Health Advisory
Committee (Vice-Chair).
Rolly Ashdown was born in Lucky Lake, Sas-
katchewan and came to southern Alberta in 1977.
Prior to becoming a councillor Ashdown spent 20
years as a realtor and a business owner. He has
participated in many community committees as
part of his work and has also served as Conserva-
tive party president for the former Crowfoot area.
He and his wife Karen live in the community and
enjoy interacting with its residents. He said that
his past experience in municipal government has
given him the insight and experience he believes
will help him if he succeeds in representing the
area federally. See www.rollyashdown.ca for more
details.
I believe in the Conservative party. I believe in
their politics. I nd politics interesting and I am
ready to step up to another level, said Ashdown.
He is hoping everyone will come out soon and
obtain their party memberships. He considers it
one of the best ways to ensure peoples candidate
of choice to represent their views in the federal
parliament.
The controversial Rob Anders has federally rep-
resented the Calgary West region as an MP since
1997. He has announced publically his intention
to run for the Bow River riding. Anders applied
to represent the new riding of Calgary Signal Hill
in April, but lost the nomination battle to former
Alberta nance minister Ron Liepert. Rob Anders
was rst elected on June 2, 1997. He began his
career as deputy critic for Human Resources for
the Reform party in 1998 was appointed the chief
critic for Senate and Patronage. As the ofcial op-
positions chief critic, he created and chaired the
Elected Senate Action Team - a task force to ad-
vance the cause of Senate Reform in Canada. Rob
currently sits on many federal committees, which
can be seen at www.robanders.ca
Gerard Lucyshyn was born in Saskatoon, Sas-
katchewan and grew up across the prairies, in Al-
berta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. He attended
graduate school at Carleton University in Ottawa,
Ontario and relocated back to Alberta in 2001.Ge-
rard and his wife, Sheila reside in Langdon with
their two sons Michael and Adam.
In his work as a professor he delivers lectures
on globalization and economics. He has served on
various committees and boards throughout his ca-
reer. His extensive curriculum vitae can be seen
online at www.gerardlucyshyn.ca
Fox said that all candidates must submit their in-
tention to run to the EDA and le the requisite pa-
perwork before it can be ofcial. Once accepted,
all candidates must step down from their current
government positions, if elected to represent the
public in the Bow River federal constituency.
Mount Royal University pro-
fessor Gerard Lucyshyn has
also announced his intent to
run for the Conservative can-
didate for the Bow River rid-
ing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor
An act of Chivalry doesnt happen very often these
days, but on Thursday, Aug. 14 I was very fortunate.
On leaving the Royal Bank in Strathmore and getting
into my car I was surprised by someone knocking on
my window, it was the bank manager, Trevor Pollock,
he told me I had at tire.
He immediately removed the tire and took it to the
Shell gas station to ll it up with air. He then returned
and put it back on my car and suggested I go to Foun-
tain Tire for further repairs. He did all this on his cof-
fee break. I am truly grateful that this act of kindness
(chivalry) is still possible these days.
Thank you Mr. Pollock.

Fule for Thought
My wife, Debbie thinks I have a very strange mind.
Shes probably right. Things come to me, that probably
wouldnt to any normal person.
For example, Ive been kind of creeped out by the
Laughing Cow cheese commercial. Im not sure if
youve seen this commercial, but these cute, cartoon-
ish cows are hanging out eating cheese. Now to me,
this is bizarre and creepy, because cheese comes from
cows, so these animals are eating themselves!
Its gross why would that make me want to buy
their cheese and join them in a gross, disgusting picnic
where they eat their own by-product? I know, I know,
this is why Deb says, just once Id like to get in your
head and see whats its like in there! Im not sure
she could take that vast emptiness broken by the odd,
bizarre thought that pops in and out!
Really though, Ive been thinking a lot about our
family dog, Brodie. Hes a 14.5-year-old Bichon Frise,
and hes slowly showing his decreasing energy. Of
course, this last part is hard to measure, as hes never
really, ever had any energy! Hes always been the type
of dog, who only wants to play for a short period of
time, and then basically quit. Its like, whoa kids, let
me pace myself I chased that ball three times, thats
gotta be enough!
Then he ambles off to a quiet place thats still close
to all of us and basically goes to sleep. Its like hes
always practiced being an old dog, so he could get it
just right!
Hes actually only ever really active just after hes
crapped! Its weird, but when he returns from outside,
we can all tell what hes done, because hell come
running in like a puppy, hit the hardwood oor, slide
a little, and act like its the best day of his life! Its
kind of gross knowing what your dog has just done,
but it does help me know when the yard needs to be
scooped!
I had the embarrassment of taking him on a walk
to a new place. We hit the lake at Strathmore Lakes,
and he was like a pup again well, a slow pup, but a
pup. He was a brown and white ash running here
and there, snifng and peeing everywhere. It was a
little gross as I watched in horror as he had to poop,
but was too excited to actually stop and do it! Do you
know how stupid I felt in front of the walkers and jog-
gers, picking up his poop as he walked?
You could have at least stopped somewhere, but
no, I have to be your butler!
I also dont get why dogs have to smell their poo
right after they do it! I mean come on, youre a smart
dog, what do you think was going to be behind you
freshly baked cinnamon cookies?! Its very embar-
rassing! I also wonder why he has to poop at the start
of a walk were nowhere near a garbage can, so I
get to carry a bag of warm, aromatic poo for most of
the walk!
Hes a great actor, our dog. My daughter Bree taught
him a dead dog trick and I must say, he does an elab-
orate death scene. He falls slowly (remember, nothing
is fast with this dog!) onto his side, and lays as still as
he can, dead.
Oh sure, his tail still thumps the oor, but hes a
regular Jack Nicholson! Then when hes told hes a
good boy, he pops up for his Oscar (dog treat)! Youd
think that hes a bright dog, and he has shown that. He
learned as a puppy to bat a wind chime on the door
going outside, and hed get let out. He trained us! He
rang that bell every time he felt like he needed a bit
of fresh air!
Lately, though this furry Einstein is not showing his
smarts. We are in a new house that has a butlers pan-
try where it has a door at each end. Brodie will go
in the hallway door, come to the kitchen door and
scratch, looking out. I dont get why he thinks hes
trapped, and he gets a bit frustrated, scratching to be
let out! Why not just turn around, and go back out the
way you came?!
Oh well, this old brown and white fur ball has been
nothing but a happy, affectionate dog. Tomorrow will
be lawn cutting day, and hes gured out thats a great
day for him!
He gets to come to the Recycle Yard, and then were
off for a cheeseburger! He knows the turns, and hes
always leaning up on the dash, tracking the trip. Itll
always be one of the things Ill remember the most
about Brodie nding joy in something as simple as
a cheeseburger trip!
The dog years: just fur Brodie
KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CROWFOOT
Parliamentary Report

The nancial statements of First Nation lead-
ers from across Canada are starting to appear on-
line as the deadline to comply with a new federal
transparency law has passed. This is because our
Conservative Government passed the First Nations
Financial Transparency Act.
This Act, which received Royal Assent on March
27, 2013, has been applauded by taxpayer advoca-
cy groups and First Nations communities because
it empowers First Nations community members
across Canada and ensures they are informed of
their communitys nancial situation.
While many First Nations have actively publi-
cized this information for years, our Government
introduced this legislation because we had heard
concerns from First Nations community members
across the country who wanted access to nancial
information on their community without fear of
intimidation or reprisal.
Recently, it was reported that a chief from a
small First Nation in British Columbia was paid
nearly $1 million last year, according to docu-
ments disclosed by the band. The reported salary
of the Chief is very troubling and we are pleased
that because of this legislation community mem-
bers in this First Nation now have access to this
information and can hold their own leadership to
account. Our Government believes that First Na-
tions, like all Canadians, deserve transparency
and accountability from their band leaders. This is
why we passed the First Nations Financial Trans-
parency Act, which of course, the Liberals and the
NDP voted against this in the House of Commons.
Shamefully, Justin Trudeau recently announced
that if the Liberals were elected in 2015, he would
repeal the First Nations Financial Transparency
Act. Justin Trudeau would keep this basic nan-
cial information hidden from First Nation com-
munities and taxpayers. This is an affront to First
Nations community members and to all Canadi-
ans taxpayers that this act is intended to serve.
Its yet another example that inexperienced Justin
Trudeau is in way over his head.
All other levels of government in Canada re-
quire nancial transparency to ensure that annual
budgets are made public. With increased access to
basic nancial information, community members
can make more informed decisions about the -
nancial management and reporting of their elect-
ed ofcials. Our Government expects First Nation
band councils to use tax payer dollars responsibly
for the benet of all community members.
The First Nations Financial Transparency Act
is consistent with generally accepted accounting
rules that already apply to government-owned
businesses across Canada and reporting require-
ments for Members of Parliament under the Par-
Bringing nancial transparency to First Nations
liament of Canada Act and the Salaries Act. First Nations
community members will not have to request the informa-
tion through Band ofces, but still have the option to do so.
The Act is also helping to encourage investment, economic
development and growth, by creating a better environment
for private sector investment, which strengthens the founda-
tion necessary for the long-term prosperity in First Nation
communities across the country.
As part of the 2011 Speech from the Throne, our Govern-
ment has committed to supporting democratic, transparent
and accountable First Nation governments. This is but just
one example of how our Government is taking action to sup-
port First Nations and ensure they have access to information
detailing how public funds are spent in their communities.

Farmers always have their eye upon
the weather, wondering whether there
will be the right balance of rain and
sunshine to make their crops ourish.
Alberta Financial Services Corpora-
tion crop statistics as of July 29 for the
Strathmore area show spring cereals
are in late pollination stage and win-
ter cereals in soft dough stage. Canola
and eld peas are almost nished the
pod stage. Most crops were considered
average or slightly above average to
previous years. Sub-soil moisture rat-
ings were 73 per cent and are good to
excellent. Cut dry-land and irrigated
haying are all virtually completed. Hay/
pastures rated at 70 per cent good or
excellent.
Russel Muenchrath, Wheatland Coun-
tys manager of agricultural services
said that the majority of crops grown
in Wheatland County are canola, wheat,
barley, peas and then forage (hay) crops
like alfalfa.
Moisture right at the moment is ok,
as we have had some rain in the last
two weeks; overall, moisture is less
Update on Wheatland crop growth
than what it has been in the last couple
of years, so it will affect dry-land crop
yields and we have already seen that
the hay yields this year are less than
previous years, said Muenchrath.
He said heat does have an effect on
crop yields.
The hot dry weather early in the
season reduced hay crop and pasture
yields this year. The heat will also af-
fect annual crop yields, and in particu-
lar Canola can be affected at owering
by whats called bud blasting wherein
the ower clusters turn brown and can
result in greatly reduced yields.
Pests are always a problem for farm-
ers, but Muenchrath said there are no
major problems in Wheatland County
to date.
He said farmers often do eld scout-
ing to catch the problems before they
progress too much.
Muenchrath said crop prices are a
little lower than usual. Record corn and
soybean crops in the USA may cause
some downward pressure on crop pric-
es here at home.
Muenchrath said the real story is the
recent hailstorms in the area.
The loss of an entire crop can be a
discouraging sight to a farmer, especial-
ly when crops are just lling out.
Jackie Sandan, Area Program man-
ager for Agricultural Financial Services
Corporation said 6,000 hail claims were
led provincially this year. There are
650 crop claims from the Wheatland
area alone.
Our inspectors are all extremely
busy trying to assess the damage, said
Sandan.
A general overview of hail damage
for the Wheatland area is as follows:
Heavy damage in Standard area from
hail, and a wide strip of moderate hail
damage from east to northeast of Cal-
gary into the Hussar/Gleichen areas
from two major storms.
Sandan said hail is the biggest cause
of crop loss in this area, and most pro-
ducers purchase hail insurance for this
reason.
She said the time it takes to complete
a claim varies on the assessment, which
is based on multiple factors the crop
stage at time of damage, and whether
it needs to be deferred, or how many
storms have hit that land base. Sandan
said it also depends on the volume of
claims received. She said it can take
anywhere from approximately 10 days
to a few weeks before an inspector is
able to visit a farm. However, once an
inspection is completed and signed off,
the cheques are issued within days and
then mailed out.

Rosebud School of the Arts students will start
the upcoming school year in a study and perfor-
mance space that is both fteen years old and
brand new, thanks to a new ve-year sponsorship
agreement with BMO Financial Group.
The building and grounds of the Studio Stage,
the primary stage for Rosebud School of the Arts
(RSA) productions, have received a makeover and
were renamed the BMO Studio Stage and Student
Garden.
Paul Muir, RSAs education director, says the
school became connected with BMO through Jeri
Sherban, the banks Community Investment Man-
ager, and her husband Orest. They come out to
so many events. They come out to all the student
events, he says. Jeri and Orest just seem to have
decided Were all about these students at Rose-
bud, Muir says, and decided (theyre) going to
get BMO to give some money to Rosebud, but its
going to be focused on student activity and stu-
dent advance and student facilities.
BMO was inspired to support the Rosebud
Centre of the Arts because of our focus on educa-
tion, the arts and our community, says Danny Me-
nard, BMOs Vice President for Commercial Bank-
ing, Central Alberta. BMO values being a strong
community partner, just in making our communi-
ties better places to live and this centre is a great
example of those values in action.
The makeover included prominent signage to
transform the look of the building and provide an
outdoor study and recreation space for the stu-
dents, Menard says. The donation will also fund
the education scholarships at the centre for the
next ve years. Those scholarships continue to
provide honoraria for RSA students who partici-
pate in Rosebud Theatre productions.
The new signage is going to provide a fabu-
lous point of focus, Muir says. With this fantastic
17-foot-high sign, you can actually see from way
in town ... Oh, theres something worth seeing out
there. The signs designer, Paul Lassen, found a
way to marry the agricultural and industrial look
of that building, Muir says, and also create some
really clean modern lines and throw in a bit of
rustic sense to it as well.
In the BMO Studio Stage and surrounding fa-
cilities, a whole lot of student life and study and
everything happens, Muir says. The BMO funding
allowed horticulturalist Colleen Kapell and Sheila
Graham to draw up a landscape design, and for
Maki Van Dyke, RSAs registrar, to coordinate a
team of volunteers in shaping the bland, undevel-
oped space into a ower garden. It turned out
fantastic, Muir says. Its going to do a great thing,
not only for the students, but also for all the pa-
trons.
When you walk into a space that feels like it
has been paid attention to, whether its an indoor
space or an outdoor space, he says, and care has
been given to what it looks like and how its been
designed.... it changes something in you.
I cant wait for (the students) to come back in
September, he says, when they walk out there
and go, Oh! This is what our space is now like. I
actually think its going to do something for them
just in terms of their perspective and their attitude
toward their studies.
The new funding agreement, and the makeover
of building and grounds, was celebrated with a
Grand Opening on July 24, 2014.
Were so grateful to BMO, Muir says. I do be-
lieve that this is the beginning of a really good
long-term relationship with BMO. ...I think well
be invested for a long time.
As this story was being developed, Rosebud
Centre of the Arts (RCA) also announced a million
dollar donation from Dick and Lois Haskayne,
both of whom grew up in the Rosebud area. The
Haskaynes donation will retire the mortgage on
the Mercantile, now named the Rosebud Haskayne
Kenny Mercantile, and foster ongoing growth for
RCA. The Centre, whose vision aligns with ours,
provides quality education and entertainment,
said the Haskaynes in a prepared statement. Sim-
ply, it has kept the community of Rosebud alive.
We are proud to honour our rural roots and to of-
fer nancial support to ensure continued success.
Rosebud School of the Arts welcomes
ongoing BMO sponsorship
JUST A LITTLE PROBLEM
When I came to Canada I found
out that in order for me to work
I needed a SIN number. I was
surprised, why a SIN number.
What does sin has to do with
work? Later I found out that the
SIN number stands for Social
Insurance Number. You see,
wherever I would go I had just
a little problem, my SIN number
started with 9, meaning I am an
immigrant and I am not allowed
to work. My Social Insurance
Number limited me. I could
work just on Campus of the
College I was attending, and
only 40 hours a month. The SIN
number was my little problem.
Today for many Christians, sin
is just a little problem. Many
Christians catch themselves
on the idea that their sin is just
a small one. Sin usually starts
small and if it is not dealt with, it
becomes a big problem. There
are three great problems with
sin.
First, sin limits us. It takes away
our freedom in Christ. Paul says
in Romans 6:15-23 that if we sin
we become slaves of sin. What
can be worst than being a slave
to sin?
Second, sin takes away our
motivation to live for God. The
terrible result of sin is that we
become self-centered. As a
result of sin we take God off
the throne of our hearts and
put self there. Instead of loving
God and wanting to do His will,
we now love ourselves and
want to have our own way. The
Bible tells us people who are
self-centered arent able to
please God (Romans 8:8, CEB).
Self-centeredness leads to be-
ing devoted to self-gratication
and overlooking other peoples
needs.
Third, sin disrupts our fel-
lowship with God. This is an
inevitable result of sin. Sin and
fellowship cannot go together.
Isaiah 59:2 says, But your
iniquities have separated you
from your God; And your sins
have hidden His face from you,
So that He will not hear.
So, the Bible clearly shows that
sin is our greatest problem.
Dont let Satan tell you that you
have just a little problem. Sin
is a big problem and it has to
be dealt with. The Bible says
in 1 John 1:9, If we confess
our sins, He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrigh-
teousness.

The Wheatland Whirlers Square Dance Club hosted a barn
dance fundraiser for the Childrens Wish Foundation with the
Prairie Mountain Fiddlers as the entertainment on Aug. 13.
The evening was a huge success and certainly couldnt be
held without the countless hours of time, volunteers and en-
ergy that come with holding a fundraiser of this caliber.
Barn Dance for Childrens Wish
With just two hours a week you can tell cancer it barked up
the wrong tree.
The Canadian Cancer Society is looking for committee
volunteers to plan our inaugural Bark For Life event in
Strathmore. More than just a dog walk, Bark For Life is an
opportunity to raise money that will bring us closer to a day
where no Canadian has to fear cancer.

nity lifestyle and incorporate
adults of all abilities and skill
levels in their programming.

ing to build a sense of com-
munity and relationships be-
tween individuals using art
as a medium.

The Prairie Mountain Fiddlers are a group of
amateur musicians with an interest in old-time
ddle music. As well as ddles, some members
play guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, piano and oth-
er acoustic instruments. They are located in Cal-
gary and have over 100 members. Twenty-ve of
those members came out and volunteered their
time and skills in playing for the different dances
at the Civic Centre.
The callers for the night were Dave Littlefair
from Strathmore, Barrie McCombs from Calgary
(also a part of the ddling group), and Arlo Mc-
Cool from Calgary who only does Old Time Square
Dance Calling, which was different from Littlefair
and McComb who performed what is ofcially
called Modern Western Square Dance.
Claudia Littlefair, a member of the Wheatland
Whirlers stated, We raised $2,475 for Childrens
Wish Foundation which surpassed last years
amount of $1700.
The Whirlers are always looking for more peo-
ple to come out and join them in their fun. Two
special introductory nights will be held this com-
ing fall on Sept. 24 and Oct. 1 from 7:30 p.m. -
9:30 p.m. free of charge and at Westmount School.

Whether youre a scratch golfer or
a substandard golfer, the Easy Going
Open welcomes everyone to partici-
pate. On Saturday, Sept. 20, golfers of
all ages and abilities will rally together
to raise funds for the Strathmore 2015
Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games. The
tournament will be held at Speargrass
Golf Course, but its not your typical
Texas scramble. Throughout the day,
the event will feature a variety of fun
activities and to-be-announced special
guests.
During the day, golfers can stop by
the free on-location wine tasting area
or relax in the professional massage
booth. The tournament also features
a range of unique mini-contests. For
$5, players can try and beat-the-pro
and for $10 players can enter a put-
ting and driving contest. Prize packs
for $20 include three mulligans, one
driving contest entry and one putting
contest entry. The event also features
the chance to win a $5,000 hole-in-one
prize.
The Easy Going Opens silent auc-
tion table is also growing and special
guests are in the works. Participants
may even get the opportunity to bid on
a celebrity player to compete on their
team. Games manager, Colleen Huber,
says to expect further tournament sur-
prise announcements. As a golfer her-
self, she says the tournaments focus is
not competitive, but its about having
fun for a good cause.
Other tournaments Ive golfed in,
Ive done them because its a great day
to spend with friends and when a tour-
nament is in support of something, its
even better, you spend the day having
fun and you are supporting a good
cause.
Huber explains not only will partici-
pation in the Easy Going Open help
the Strathmore 2015 Alberta 55 Plus
Summer Games nancially, but it will
also help build community awareness
and support.
The tournament will support the
Games in two major ways. Its a chance
for us to spread the word about the
Games and explain to people what
they are all about and garner some in-
terest. We also have to raise a lot of
money to host the Games, and this is
one of fundraising items that we are
doing to raise money.
Early-bird registration to play in the
Easy Going Open is $100. After Thurs-
day, August 28, its $120. Individual
and team entries are welcome. Regis-
tration includes 18 holes of golf, a full
steak dinner, cart and driving range
balls. The organizers are still looking
for auction items.
For all inquiries call or email Col-
leen Huber at 403.934.1580 or
colleen@2015strathmoregames.ca.
Registration can be purchased, in
Strathmore, at the FCSS ofce located
at 85 Lakeside Blvd. or the Games of-
ce located at 233 3rd Ave. Cash, credit
and cheque are accepted.

Alberta has seen unusual above nor-
mal temperatures this summer and
Strathmore campgrounds are seeing
the benets of more campers travel-
ling.
Were seeing our usual trend. We
were pretty much full every weekend
from July long weekend to August long
weekend and after that it starts to slow
down, said Leslie Pringle of Eagle
Lake RV Resort.
With the warmer weather, Eagle Lake
normally sees a full resort with the
normal customers but also like to see
new campers as well.
On any given weekend 60 to 80
per cent of our people are repeat or
(through) word-of-mouth and the rest
are new, said Pringle.
We have our usual volume dis-
counts. So if you pre-pay a week in
advance, it is a reduced price, if you
pre-pay a month it is a reduced price
but we run full all the time.
These discounts take effect mostly
in the low season where the campsites
are not as full.
The feedback from the campers to
the resort has been positive and any
complaints about the sites come from
the people who do not know much
about the hobby.
Any complaints we get are gener-
ally from either people who are new
to camping or new to Alberta and not
really familiar with some of the dif-
ferences between prairie campground
and campgrounds at other places, said
Pringle.
The last night for camping at Eagle
Lake will be Sept. 6, and ofcially
closed later on Sept. 7.
We will be starting our seasonal
tours in mid September, so people who
are looking at putting a trailer in one
spot, leaving the trailer and coming
and going, those will be all by appoint-
ment, said Pringle.
Ted Kleysen, owner of the Calderon
Acres campground in Strathmore has
been satised with the numbers at his
campsites this summer.
We are mainly above seasonal and
darn close to being the fullest we have
ever been, said Kleysen.
We have 300 seasonal sites and 290
of them are full now.
The sunshine has brought more ac-
tivity into the campsite and especially
to attractions on site such as the golf
course.
It has brought more of everything.
There is more people planning, golf-
ing, more people making our sites look
prettier; everyone is in the mood now,
said Kleysen.
It is probably up 10 to 15 per cent
on average.
Kleysen is in discussion with the
county to get the approval for an ex-
pansion to the park.

land in the Peace River area. He brought
the rest of his family here from Holland in
1930. Both Corny and his father were bond-
ed livestock dealers when they moved here,
and it was only natural for them to continue
in this line of work on arrival.
Dale and his twin brother Darrel were
born in November 1947 in Strathmore,
and lived in a small two-bedroom house of
around 700 sq. ft. located across from what
is now Lambert Park, and where the Luther-
an Church now stands.
His older brother Frankie, older sister
Mary Ann, his twin brother Darrel and he
shared one very compact bedroom. In the
other slightly larger bedroom, his younger
brothers Eric and Mason shared with Mom
and Dad. It was cozy and created many
fond memories.
His grandparents on his mothers side,
Verne and Helen Belts, moved to Wheatland
County from Pendleton, Ore. in 1916. His
mother was born here, and worked as a tele-
phone operator until 1938, when she took
time off to raise her six children. She later
returned to this work from 1960 to 1965 un-
til operators were no longer required, then
worked for the Post Ofce from 1965 until
her retirement in 1982.
Heathers grandfather immigrated to Can-
ada from Cumwhitton, England while her
grandmother came from Glasgow, Scotland.
Her father, Bill Fawkes, was born and
raised on the family farm at Namaka. Her
mother Yvonne Cote was from a very large
family of 13, and grew up on a farm north
of Carseland. Her grandparents Walter and
Ethel Cote had moved here from Indiana in
1909. Heather was born at the family farm
in Namaka in 1948, during one of the many
blizzards prevalent in those years. In 1952,
her father Bill and many other family mem-
bers contracted polio, and dad lost most of
the use of his left arm. He was hospitalized
for a year, and Heather, her mom and sister
Monica had to go and live with their grand-
parents in Carseland. After dad returned
home, he still couldnt do much work, so
the family moved to Strathmore.
Heather and Dale knew each other before
attending Samuel Crowther High School in
Strathmore in the mid-1960s. They were
married in 1969, and this was the start of
the best 45 years of their lives. They had two
sons, Darren born in 1973, and Scott born in
1975. Darren married Krista Piper in 2000,
and Scott married Renae Nino in 2001. A
new chapter opened in Dale and Heathers
lives with the arrival of their grandchildren
Aidan and Connor (Darren) and Parker
and Karson (Scott). These six (2+4) boys
have provided many years of entertainment
and enjoyment. It would be hard, if not im-
possible, to nd two parents and grandpar-
ents that are more proud. Scott received a
baseball scholarship in the U.S. and is now
a commodity/stock bro-
ker. Darren took an exten-
sive course on photogra-
phy in Vancouver, B.C. On
returning to Strathmore in
1993, he opened Image
Works Photography, and
has now been joined in
this business by his wife
Krista, and their sons Aid-
an and Connor. In 2011,
Bowridge Drilling Ltd was
formed and now Darren is
involved fulltime in the oil
and gas industry.
Dale remembers that in
his early years, their fam-
ily had the Calgary Herald
paper route for 16 years.
His brother Frankie started it, then handed
it down to Mary Ann, then to the twins Dale
and Darrel, to Eric, then nally to Mason.
In 1964, Dale began his career with West-
ern Feedlots Ltd, rst as a feed truck driver
and then became a pen rider, before moving
into the ofce as administration manager,
in 1968.
After a few years, he was promoted to
General Manager where he remained until
April 1984, when he decided to move to a
different line of work, and became a fully
licensed commodity/stock broker with Re-
fco Canada Ltd. He retired from this very
successful career in 2009.
He says that his 20 years with Western
Feedlots Ltd really helped pave the way for
his prosperous brokerage business. Two
individuals were instrumental in his suc-
cess and had a profound inuence on him.
They are Eion Chisholm, Managing Director
of Western Feedlots Ltd and Pierre Glout-
ney, CEO of Refco Canada Ltd. Dale has the
greatest respect and admiration for them
both.
In 1986, Dale joined the Cheadle Lions
Club, and this current year is serving the
club as president for the 2014-2015 term.
This club is jam packed with good solid vol-
unteers.
Both Dale and Heather have been stal-
wart members of 4-H, initially as their sons
grew up, and now with their grandchildren.
In 1979, Dale was invited to join The Sod-
busters Investment Syndicate, a club he
has enjoyed immensely, and which will cel-
ebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2015. Twelve
people formed this club in 1965, and it is
still restricted to 12 members who meet ev-

Weve been asked if skin looks orange after
a Mystic session. The short answer is - not
at all. Before Mystic Tan, most self-tanners
were creams and lotions applied by hand.
That meant inconsistent coverage. Too much
lotion applied in one place left the skin looking
orange. Not enough lotion left unattractive
streaks. The MagneTan technology ensures
a uniform spray covers the entire body in the
exact amount needed to produce a smooth,
even, natural-looking tan.

Unfortunately, Heather was diagnosed
with mylodisplasia, a medical term for blood
cancer in 2005. After ve years of blood
transfusions, she was diagnosed with full-
blown leukemia, and she needed an urgent
bone marrow transplant.
After many trips to the
Peter Lougheed Hospital
and the Tom Baker Can-
cer Centre, she was sent
home in good health in
2010. But a year later her
lungs collapsed and she
was rushed to ICU at the
Foothills Hospital. Even-
tually, she returned home
on 24/7 oxygen, and is
pleased to announce at
the time of writing this
article, that she is in very
good health and no lon-
ger on full-time oxygen.
Not a day goes by when
she doesnt thank the
saints and angels of the Peter Lougheed and
Tom Baker hospitals for their professional
care and guidance.
She admits that Dale has been her Dia-
mond in the Rough, and without him she
could not have proceeded.
Reecting on the last 45 years Dale com-
ments that when they had the paper route,
they probably knew 75 per cent of the folks
living in Strathmore. But now, sadly, with all
the changes, he doubts if they know more
than 5 per cent or maybe even less.
They have lived in this wonderful com-
munity for 43 years, surrounded by great
neighbours, who in the early years helped
them grow up, as well as helping with their
family.
We, the Cockx Family, are grateful and
proud to have been, and continue to be,
residents of this beautiful part of the world
called Strathmore, Alberta, they said.

to Myself, What a Wonderful Place.

The Southern Alberta Music Festival is back for
its second year at Aspen Crossing this weekend,
Aug. 22-23.
The two-day event features 19 southern Alberta
artists playing a variety of sounds from country, to
blues, to folk and even rock.
The event was rst started last year as a way to
help raise funds for High River after the devastat-
ing oods.
It is just such a great community event, its
more than just an Aspen Crossing event, last year
we raised money for the High River disaster relief
fund and that was the major (charity) and then
the (Mossleigh) Lions Club did the bar and beer
gardens and so they were also able to make some
pretty good money last year, said Jason Thornhill,
owner and founder of Aspen Crossing.
This year we wanted to have the major one
be STARS Air Ambulance and of course the Li-
ons Club is doing the bar and beer gardens again
and (Arrowwood) 4-H kids are also telling people
where to park and collecting $5 per car. 4-H gets
to keep all the proceeds from parking.
Its also a great opportunity for all these local
artists as well to get their name out there and get
a chance to be heard. I was surprised last year just
how talented (they are) I was just amazed.
Artists include Tanya Ryan, Chet DeFreeze,
Freeline, the Free Beer Band, Drew Gregory, Syka-
more and Tim and the Toad.
So far 300 tickets have been sold, but Thorn-
hill and other organizers would love to see 1,000
tickets sell, which would bring in approximately
$15,000 for the various charities involved.
Musician Larry Vannatta had approached Thorn-
hill about the possibility of working together to
bring the festival to life, and so far the partnership
has proven to be a success, and even includes a
partnership with the Calgary Stampede, who have
loaned their travelling stage for the event the past
two years.
A third festival is denitely already being
planned for 2015, and then the organizers will
look at the success of the event and determine if
it will keep going.
The Aspen Crossing campground is booked for
the weekend, but there is space in the pasture be-
hind the music festival for people to camp out.
Tickets will be available right up to the start of the
festival, and are selling at $60 for regular seating
for the full weekend or $85 for reserved seating.
Regular seating means bring a lawn chair or blan-
ket, and reserved gets you a spot in the rst ve
rows in front of the stage.

ets for the Southern Alberta Music Festival go to

p.m. on Aug. 22, and at 11 a.m. on Aug. 23.
Music festival returns
The Southern Alberta Music Festival, which was a hit last year is returning
this weekend, Aug. 22-23.

Those who routinely use the bridge access on Hwy 547,
leading into the village of Arrowwood, will be glad to hear
bridge repairs have begun.
The ood had damaged the abutments and there has been
no access to Arrowwood on that road since June 2013.
General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure for
Wheatland County David Churchill said the closure was nec-
essary due to safety concerns, but he is glad to see that re-
pair is nally underway.
He stated repairs will be done to make the bridge safe;
however, no improvements to the bridge will be done at this
time.
The bridge spans the main access road to areas on the
Siksika reserve and it is the most commonly used route from
Hwy 1 to Arrowwood. The alternate route diverted travelers
back west, circling around to Highway 22X, which is a much
longer route.
Business owner Bill Graff is also happy to see work begin
on the bridge.
Graff said he was giving the alternate directions to his cli-
ents almost three times a day.
Businesses in Arrowwood had suffered from the bridge
closure, some businesses experiencing up to 50 per cent re-
ductions in overall sales. The local car wash had to close
down due to declining business. Many of the First Nations
people use the Scotiabank in Arrowwood for their nancial
services.
Workers told Graff that work on the bridge will be com-
pleted by October and he expects that business will bounce
back to normal and customers will resume their patronage
of local businesses.

Chairwoman Melody Wilson of the
Communities in Bloom organization
said that plans for a community garden
are on hold pending the receipt of the
grant money from the Fortis Communi-
ty Naturalization Grant. The grant was
designated for projects that improved
the community in environmentally
friendly ways. Strathmore and Hussar
were just two of the lucky recipients
for the grants. Wilson said that Fortis
had some organizational problems that
delayed the funding, but she thinks
money should be coming from them in
the near future.
Hope Community Church has gra-
ciously provided the site and the idea
was to construct 12 garden beds, each
6x12 feet in dimension. Residents could
rent the beds for the growing season,
planting anything their imagination
could dream up. Water would be pro-
vided through water barrels on the site.
As for gardening advice, Wilson is
hoping that people will network.
Thats the amazing thing about this
we are hoping the older gardeners
will share their knowledge with those
new to gardening, mentoring them as
the gardens grow, said Wilson.
Wilson said they would be looking
for people to help construct the garden
beds and will put a call out shortly for
help.
Wilson hopes the beds will be con-
structed by spring of 2015, which will
give prospective gardeners the fun of
planning their garden over the winter,
or getting the family involved in an
outdoor activity that presents many re-
wards by harvest season.

In what has become an annual event, two bus-
loads of people spent a day out of the city touring
four Strathmore area farms in the Local Organic
Farm Tour on Aug 17. Winters Turkeys, Heritage
Harvest Wheat, Poplar Bluff Organics and Carrots
by Cam once again participated in the event, al-
lowing people to tour their facilities and by provid-
ing information about their operations. Tour par-
ticipants were treated to an organic lunch during
the day and a BBQ at the end of the tour. Left:

When the calendar year
turned over to 2014, Alberta,
Ontario, PEI, Quebec and
Saskatchewan all increased
their minimum wages.
Alberta saw the lowest in-
crease at just 1.8 per cent,
going from $9.95 to $10.20
an hour, which will take ef-
fect Sept. 1.
Even with the small raise,
Alberta still has the lowest
minimum wage in Canada
compared to the highest
minimum wage provinces
such as Prince Edward Is-
land, who went from $10.20
to $10.35. Ontario leads with
an $11 minimum wage.
With Strathmore being a
smaller centre, one would
think this would be a set-
back to local businesses and
box stores such as Canadian
Tire, and popular dining
spots such as Original Joes.
However, that is not the
case, as many chains now
pay employees over mini-
mum wage.
From just specically our
store, it really has no effect
because we are hiring at a
wage higher than minimum,
said Randy Orford, Strath-
mores Canadian Tire owner.
The type of employees that
would come close to that
wage would be the students,
but more experienced em-
ployees would be paid more.
For us it is not a big is-
sue because it is irrelevant
except maybe if you are a
server in the bar/restaurant
industry where tips are a fac-
tor, Orford said.
He believes that wage in-
creases were more substan-
Strathmore businesses not concerned
with minimum wage increase
tial in places like Ontario, where he
had owned a store previously, as the
earnings went up in increments. It af-
fected how many were employed in the
store.
The labour conditions in Alberta,
and certainly in Strathmore, are such
that we would not hire at the minimum
wage, said Orford.
According to Orford, entry-level em-
ployees are being hired and they are
often wanting the job to gain experi-
ence. Demand for workers in the em-
ployment market may also have an ef-
fect.
This new minimum wage increase
would have to rise substantially for it to
have a true impact on working condi-
tions in Alberta.
From a restaurant perspective, Strath-
more Original Joes General Manager
Blake Chayer hasnt yet considered
changing wages for his employees and
business.
The servers actually make a separate
wage. They make a lower wage than
the minimum and already know that
coming in, said Chayer. Obviously we
have management in different situa-
tions and they are making higher.
I think we will go with the ow,
whatever the minimum wage will be
is what we will pay our servers. It is
a business at the end of the day, said
Chayer. Under different circumstances
the kitchen staff are always paid above
minimum wage. I am surprised the
minimum wage thing did not happen
earlier and being in Alberta, we have a
pretty good economy. I did not know
we were still the lowest.
Chayer believes that he is pretty gen-
erous with his staff.
I worked in the kitchen for 10 years
before I became manager here and I al-
ways try to compensate them as much
as I can because I realize it is a stressful
underpaid job, he said.
Strathmore Canadian Tire owner Randy Orford
does not see any impact on hiring practices due
to the Canada wide minimum wage increases
that will take effect on Sept.1.

The 12th annual Strathmore Womens Leaping Dog
Racing triathlon was a success for participants and or-
ganizers alike. Overall, the event went smoothly ac-
cording to event coordinator Deanne Jabs.
It was bit of a disco fusion, especially when you
start something new (the duathlon) when you are used
to a certain system, said Jabs
The duathlon added a new dimension and we did
change the run course to allow for more bike paths.
The ladies really liked that with less residential and
running on sidewalks.
The only real concern for the event was getting
enough volunteers with the racers but they came
through and the credit goes to them for all their efforts.
We had phenomenal help. You cant say enough
about the Town of Strathmore, they really embraced
us, said Jabs.
The race got some international attention with par-
ticipants coming from Europe and Asia.
We had participants from Kuwait and France. The
Kuwait person had found it on a Google search and
planned their vacation around this event, said Jabs.
The girl from France is an exchange student that
wanted to do the race and she found out that when
they picked her up the airport, she entered that morn-
ing.
The girl from Kuwait was appreciative to be in the
race that she showed her grate fullness to the volun-
teers.
During her run, she was touching every volunteer
and thanking them. She was so full of gratitude and
being sincere with handshakes, said Jabs.
Out of all the racers participating, about half of them
are new to the triathlon scene.
I think we had over 70 rst timers. Out of 208, 70
rst timers is pretty good, said Jabs.
The race was a great success but like other events
can always improve and do some adjustments.
It was a huge success and we might be switching
the race (to) the end of June next year. We are kind of
doing some planning right now thinking of doing it a
bit earlier, said Jabs
Hosting the event in Strathmore as opposed to the
big city was a benet to the organizers and athletes be-
cause there is less congestion and more track-friendly
routes.
It is not the big city, it does not have a lot of con-
gestion and there is really no problem with trafc. The
town starts to embrace it and they enjoy people com-
ing from all over, said Jabs.
The 2015 race is tentatively slated for June 28.

Fantastic nish
Down. Set. Hut!
The Wheatland Kings
held their condition-
ing camp last week at
the Strathmore Family
centre. The coaches
were very impressed
with the aggressive
style of play displayed
by the players.
The Strathmore Reds hosted the Tier 4 Mosquito provincials July 25-27 at the Strathmore Ag
Grounds. The team played their hearts out in the rain and in the blazing sun. They made it all the way
to the playoffs on the fnal day, where they lost in a close battle against the Camrose Cougars with
a score of 24-20. The Reds fnished third in the province and had a fun flled team spirited weekend.
Players from the Strathmore Community Football Associations peewee and senior Spartans teams
gear up for another season during the registration camp on Aug. 18-19. The frst home game of the
season is the Bantams open on Aug. 30 against Rocky Mountain House at 1 p.m.
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Kings hockey club
was impressed with the turnout of play-
ers at the conditioning camp and eager
to open main camp on Sept. 1.
I think camp was a very big success
because of the amount of kids that have
turned out. We were looking at camp a
couple of weeks ago and saying are we
going to be able to ll it?, said assistant
coach Joel Robinson.
It was really nice to see the camp
lled.
The players competed hard against
one another and that is what caught the
eye of the coaches.
The competition level is exactly
where we thought it would be and ev-
erything the kids said that they were
going to do, they have been doing, so
it has been really hard decision for us
on who is coming to main camp, said
Robinson.
Local players have committed to the
team and Robinson believes that is a
strong starting point to building the
team in Strathmore.
I think that is one of the biggest
things for us is building a team with
the Strathmore presence in our line up
which is big for our fans if we have the
right number of locals in our line up
and the right mix of guys, said Rob-
inson.
Robinson, who worked with Head
Coach Jeremy Blumes with the Calgary
Royals program, is very optimistic that
it is an exciting time for Strathmore
hockey fans.
I am actually really excited to be a
part of the program we are putting to-
gether.
I think that once we start regular
season and exhibition games, a lot of
other teams in the league are going to
take a look at Strathmore as a team to
be reckoned with, said Robinson.
As a coach he is thrilled to the out-
come of what this team is shaping out
to look like.
That is the biggest part is watching
the team form and jelling. We are here
for the kids and want to watch them
purely develop, said Robinson.
Camp attendee Curtis Robinson is al-
ready invited to main camp and thinks
the conditioning camp is step in further
development.
You get a feel of who is out at your
camp and start to know people and
learn what the coaches want from you,
said Curtis.
Curtis has a familiarity with Blumes
and his systems making it more com-
fortable for him going into main camp.
It would be awesome to play here
because the coaches run a good system
and a good group of guys so far, said
Curtis.
Strathmore hockey fans, get ready
to cheer on the hometown Wheatland
Kings as action is fast approaching.

Times Reporter

Four-time Canada Olympic Womens
hockey gold medalist Hayley Wick-
enheiser is coming to Strathmore Ca-
nadian Tire on Aug. 30 from 12 p.m.
to 3 p.m. The appearance is a part of
the celebrations for the stores second
place nish in the Red Ball campaign
nation-wide. Labrador City, NL took
rst place.
The Jumpstart program assists less
fortunate kids between the ages of 4 to
18 in registration, gear and transporta-
tion costs for sports.
Through the campaign, the Strath-
more store raised $14,108 in May for
the Jumpstart program.
We sold red balls in our store for the
month of May. We put a challenge out
to the business community to donate to
it as well and that paid off,
said Shelley Orford, owner
of the Canadian Tire along
with her husband Randy.
From 2005 to 2014, the
Strathmore chapter has dis-
persed $51,384, which has
helped 373 kids to get the
opportunity in sports.
According to Orford,
Strathmore should be
proud of what has been ac-
complished.
For the town, mostly it is
a recognition for their sup-
port in the Jumpstart, said
Orford
With well-known Canadian hockey
player Wickenheiser coming to town, it
is very rewarding to the store.
We are very honoured and excited
to have her. We worked hard to nish
second in the Red Ball cam-
paign and we are delighted
to bring her here, said Or-
ford.
Orford said it was thanks
to community effort that
the Strathmore store was
able to nish second in the
Red Ball campaign.
We were trying to get in
the number one spot for the
last three years so to come
in second out of 400 stores
in the country is pretty ex-
citing.
Wickenheiser will be
available for autograph ses-
sions and will be playing in a street
hockey game with players from the
Strathmore Minor Hockey Association
in the Canadian Tire parking lot on
Aug. 30.

Strathmore Regional Victim Services Society
(SRVSS) Serving the Chestermere, Gleichen &
Strathmore RCMP detachment areas.
Services Provided: SRVSS works in partnership
with the RCMP to provide 24/7 crisis support and
after crisis support to victims of crime or tragedy.

RCMP, however, we welcome self and agency
referrals. Highly trained volunteer advocates
provide 24 hr / 7 day a week emergency cover-
age to assist victims of crime, providing crisis
intervention, information, and referrals to victims
of crime. We inform the victim of the accuseds
process through the Criminal Justice System, and
provide court preparation and accompaniment for
the victim as required.
Volunteers Required:
We are seeking volunteers interested in becoming
front line victim service advocates to provide sup-
port, information and referrals to victims of crime
and tragedy. We require individuals interested in a
challenging and rewarding volunteer experience,
who are caring and non-judgmental with a sincere
interest in helping victims move past their immedi-
ate trauma. We provide extensive training in many
areas, including sexual assault, domestic violence,
suicide, court preparation and sudden death.
If you are interested in volunteering, please con-
tact SRVSS at the Strathmore RCMP detachment
at 403-934-6552 or go to our web site at www.

Pat Fule knows a thing or two about coaching and really
likes to share his knowledge to the kids at the STARS (Self
appraisal Teamwork Attitude Realistic goals Spirits) volleyball
camp ongoing all week long.
Fules emphasis in the camp is teaching the kids the basics
of how to play the game of volleyball properly.
We really work hard on teaching them the fundamentals
of footwork and how it is three steps to hit and we teach
them the arm swing for hitting, said Fule.
We just try to give them a good background in the basics
of hitting, serving, setting and bumping.
The camp also provides further development for players
who play in their normal high school league.
When (some players) get to Grade 7, they want to try out
for a junior high team and have a chance at making it. Some
of the ones here are going into Grade 9 and they have played
on their junior high teams, so they have been with us since
Grade 1 or 2 in volleyball and hopefully we have given them
the good background that they can do well at a higher level,
said Fule.
The groups are based on comfort level in their age groups.
We try to keep them in their skill levels so if they are in a
younger group and a smaller group, well try to lower the net
and try to get them together and call them the Rookies. Then
my junior high kids we nickname Old School they know
where to go for drills and games, said Fule.
Barret Clics has enjoyed coming back to the volleyball
camp, as this will be his sixth year in the camp.
It is really fun and its not too serious. It really teaches you
how to play and how to improve your skills, said Clics.
I did not really start volleyball until I came to this camp
and now I am going to try to make the team going into junior
high.
Clics favorite thing about the camp is the games at the end
of the day.
Kennedy Hampson, who has been attending the camp for
eight years, said she really has fun with Coach Fule and how
he teaches the camp.
He is a really laid back. He does not get too mad at you if
you do something wrong, instead he helps you said Hamp-
son.
Hampsons favourite part about the camp is serving. STARS
volleyball camp is on-going all week, Aug. 18 - 22, at Strath-
more High School.
