At rst glance, working as a reghter might not be everyones career of choice. A lot of negative considerations jump to mind, like risks to personal safety, extreme stress, hard work at all hours of the day, unexpected callouts and exposure to bad weather and toxic conditions for lengthy periods. Chief Muir Furzer wants prospective volunteers to know there are many positive things, and there is a lot more to the job than meets the eye. Being a reghter has many rewarding aspects for those who want to make the commitment. Things like paid work and training opportunities, and experience leading to full time paid opportunities in other cities re services are just a few of the bonuses in working with Strathmore Fire. Furzer is looking for 10-15 new recruits. It is absolutely rewarding and challenging, said Muir, about service to the community. As a kid, you have to be the one that enjoyed climbing up trees, jumping off roofs and playing in the mud. Furzer said many people sign up to help members of their community and feel that they make a difference in the world. Successfully helping someone in need, who cannot at the moment help themselves, is satisfying beyond words. He said mastering the various training programs instils a sense of personal condence, and some of the ticket certications can be used in other employment. He gave the example of Wanda Murray; she is a female member in her fties, and a grandmother, someone you wouldnt expect as a reghter. Furzer said she related to him how she has gained condence by being on the job. Murray was given training and has now attained her Class three license, airbrake tickets, and open water certication, and works as a re pump engineer on calls. We encourage anyone to join. We are not discriminatory here, Furzer said. Recruits dont have to go through physical endurance testing for approval, but do have to be somewhat physically t and medically certied for heart and lung issues. Certain medical conditions are acceptable. The service is volunteer based: however, Strathmore offers an incentive of payment between $15 to $30 per hour for callouts and training, depending where the member falls on the training, certication and service scale. CARSELAND The volunteer needs to be $269,900 19 or older and community minded. No experience Nice quiet community, is necessary and training will be given.

Community Crisis Society (Wheatland Shelter) holds 20th celebration

MANNY EVeReTT Times Contributor The Community Crisis Society is committed to a vision of a future where their community is free of violence and their citizens are empowered to resolve conict in peaceful and productive ways. Saturday nights (Nov. 2) Gala event held at Strathmores Civic Centre was a true celebration of remembrance of helping people rebuild their lives over the last 20 years. The Honourable Alison Redford, Premier of Alberta has a long standing passion around the subject of stopping family violence. She has developed a personal relationship with the Crisis Shelter in Strathmore and has dropped off donations many a time to the facility. While she was Justice Minister, Redford helped launch over 80 programs to reduce family violence. She was impressed with the turnout and understands the community support in working together to resolve the issues of family violence. Sandra Janssen, Associate Minister for Family and Community Safety, accompanied Redford to the Gala. Janssen spoke briey about the Federal governments initiative to address social infrastructure, the thought of communities taking care of their own. She mentioned that Strathmore should be incredibly proud of their community because you get it. Newly elected mayor of Strathmore, Michael Ell encouraged those gathered to bid well, as the monies raised will help the society with offsetting the costs not covered by other agencies and grants. This would help provide hope for a better future. Karen Pease, executive director of Strathmores shelter since its inception, acknowledged the dedication, loyalty, generosity, compassion and passion of the staff and many volunteers who make the shelter run as well as it does. It is heart work that we do, said Pease. The silent auction went well, as did the live auction under the ne auctioneering direction of Grant Klaiber and local MP Kevin Sorenson. This years winner of the cream can was the staff of Global Training Centre, to the tune of $4,000. The cream can is an old fashioned cream can that has plaques on it. Whoever bids the highest each year will have their name added to the plaques on the can. Last years owner of the can, Getz and Associates, brought in a total of $8,210.26, over the year. More importantly, over the last 18 years the cream can has brought in an amazing amount of $74.280.93. Just goes to show how much a small bit of change can build up and aid such a worthy cause.

Christmas parade looking for entrants

SHARON MCLeAY Times Contributor Planning for a good parade takes a lot of forethought, and Robert Dejardin is hoping people will gear up now to participate in the Strathmore Christmas parade. While we have had more interest this year than normal, I would still like to see more businesses participate, said Dejardin. Each year in November, people line the streets downtown to watch the parade wind its way up to the Ag grounds. Then the ofcial lighting of the Christmas Park is done and people visit over hot chocolate. This year the parade is set for Nov. 23 at 5 p.m., with staging beginning at 4 p.m. Dejardin said he is looking for more lighted oats; if people need a trailer, he will help locate one. As for lighting, he says a simple inverter plugged into a vehicle lighter, or a generator can be used. If people need information or any help with oat design, Dejardin can give them direction. He would also like to see a choir or school band get involved. If people have horses or animals they would like to take in the parade, Desjardin thinks they will make a great addition. Entries dont have to be elaborate. People can just dress up and walk in the parade too. Entry forms can be picked up at Aztec Realty. They have to be in by Nov. 20. The staging area will be located at the Library and the parade route will appear in local newspapers.

New tradition comes to Strathmore

The first annual Pumpkins in the Park was held on Nov. 1 between 6-9 p.m. The number of residence that donated their pumpkins to be displayed for all to see was amazing, a warm fire pit was built to keep everyone warm while touring the park. Hopefully this will become a tradition for Strathmore residents, as it is a great way to spark community initiatives as well as recycle your pumpkins after Halloween.

Capsule Comments
The most rapidly increasing type of cancer in the developed world is esophageal cancer where tumours affect the tube that takes food to the stomach. This type of cancer is linked to smoking, acid reflux and obesity. Since smoking rates are dropping every year, the increasing rate of obesity is one of the main risk factors. The laws governing the restriction of certain drugs to prescription-only are designed to protect the public. It wasnt always so. Back in the early years of the 20th century, people could buy products like Coca Wine and Heroin which contained the drugs cocaine and heroine, which made addicts out of many people. Even morphine products were freely available. Drug laws protect us well today. As pharmacists, we are always confident of the quality of the medications in the pharmacy. They are accurately labeled with the name and amount of every active ingredient. Street drugs are another matter. Contents are not guaranteed and may even contain other drug products. One dose of a bad drug can change a life forever. The best and safest rule is dont take it. We all miss doses of our medications now and then. If you miss one dose, take the dose the next time its due. Dont double up. With birth control pills, its a bit more involved. It depends on the type of pill you are taking and which tablet in the cycle was missed. It may be necessary to use another method of birth control. Our pharmacists are available with the answers about missed doses of medications. Dont hesitate to check with them whenever you are in doubt.
Master Chef of Strathmore

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor Strathmore is training some junior chefs that one day may rival TV celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey junior Master Chefs contestants. Youth Club Coordinator Colina Clark said that the program would not be such a success without the great support of funders like Tina Shipley. She owns the No Frills grocery store and supplies the raw materials and gift cards from the store in Strathmore, to fuel the young chefs creation. We have expanded our Creative Cook program and our Essential Edibles, which is our twice a week hot lunch program in our centre for the local junior and senior highs. She (Shipley) has been a tremendous sponsor. She has been our backbone, said Clark. We are very appreciative of her and want to send out a big thank you to her. The club is funded by the Town of Strathmore, Wheatland County and various other donors from the community. The club has been running the cooking program for two years and other programs for four years. The young master chefs are whipping up healthy, tasty meal components on a regular basis, with the help of supervision at the Strathmore Youth club. Cooking programs for age six to 17-year-olds are held on a regular basis at the Club on Brent Blvd. Everything from luscious lunches, which teach teens how to make and pack their own brown bags, dinner menus, desserts and after meal snacks. There are a variety of themes and recipes. Clark said it helps them help out at home and lets them make nutritious snacks, rather than relying on preprocessed foods. Some of the snacks have been buffalo chicken wraps, spaghetti tacos and pepperoni pita pockets and ham and cheese crepes. The next session is call Savoury Sweets and runs into December, preparing for Christmas. The New Year menu will focus on breakfast meals. They prepare, cook and eat their own cooking. Kitchen hygiene is a main component as well. The training is good preparation if the youth are interested in entering restaurant employment opportunities. There is a staff member and parent volunteer for each class, but Clark said they are open to volunteers coming in to share their skills and teach classes as well. We ask them to take at least one bit of what they prepare, its the one bite rule, said Clark. Classes run once a week for six weeks, usually run in the late afternoon or early evenings, and registration by the parent is required. There is also a Create a Cook Program that incorporates budgeting, purchasing and meal planning as well. The cooking component programs have now expanded into the rural centres, and Clark said they are being well received. They have been held in Rockyford and Hussar and will soon be offered in Standard, Gleichen and Carseland. There are many great programs offered by the club that dont involve cooking, too. There is a four week Club Works program for 6-12 year olds that gives the child a sample of many different activities so they can see which ones they might like to enroll in on a longer basis. For teens, there are dropin coffee nights, internet caf, movie nights and recreational evenings. A senior teen leadership program is also featured giving goal strategies, people skills and affecting change. Their Halloween dance was held on Oct. 26 and it was a great success. There is also a new program coming to the Youth Club. Every day during Golden Hills School Divisions school days the clubs doors will be open for the Intermission program. Over the lunch hour, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., the clubs doors will be open for students to play foosball, air hockey and to just generally unwind before heading back to afternoon classes. Youth require adult signatures to sign in and out, unless permission slips are pre-arranged by parents. There are discounts for members and family units, including foster families. Memberships are reasonable at $20 per child or $50 for families per year. For information call Colina Clark at 403-934-4918 or e-mail (info@youthclubofstrathmore.ca). There is some great information on their website (www.youthclubofstrathmore.ca).

Hope Gala success

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor The Hope Bridges Gala, held on Oct. 24 at Hope Community Covenant Church, was well attended and received by the public. We had a really great crowd. We counted about 240 people, said Wanda Reinholdt. Reinholdt said she received positive comments about the various types of art and accomplishment levels that were supported, and viewers appreciated the fact all the artists were valued. The night featured various musical entertainments, as well as gallery displays. Entertainers came from Wheatland County and the surrounding Calgary area. Singing acts such as The Short Grass Boys from Rosemary and Cluny, Mary Oxteby from Hussar, a crowd favourite Chuck Bailey and the Four Amigos, and Strathmores own singer song writer, Kirstyn Johnson entertained. Johnson was the third runner up in the national Coca Cola competition this year. Workshop participants from Hope Bridges Sing your high note presented selections and African drummers set a beat. Gallery displays with artists Mary Larsen and Robyn Millman were displayed. The Hope Bridges travelling mural, created in October 2012 and completed in the summer of 2013, was on display. The mural was moved from one business to another throughout Strathmore, before ending up at the Gala. Reinholdt said the night was just one of many successful engagements of Hope Bridges. We have seen tremendous growth of people coming out to workshops, an increase in our nancial support, and a lot more volunteers than we did. We have regular offerings with things happening every week. There are consistent facilitators, regular fundraisers and events happening, said Reinholdt. We are reaching a greater number of people. It has increased from 40 people to 150 people last year. She said the real focus of the program is to create nurturing connections. Art is really not the point of our organization, it is connection and community. Art is the medium we use to create community, welcoming events and inclusivity, said Reinholdt. The most signicant artistic accomplishment is we see peoples condence rise. It takes courage and condence to create anything. The experience with the gallery is that we had a lot of people showing their work, which they may never have done before. There is growth in understanding music, and people come out their shells in music therapy. We see people with no rhythm or comfort with music, learn something about rhythm and enjoy it. Reinholdt said they are creating a belonging place; a place where people can come, be and create, where everyone is acknowledged as human and valued. The next event for Hope Bridges is the Rosebud River Valley Boys concert and dessert bar being held on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m., again at the Hope Community Covenant Church situated on Brent Blvd. For tickets call Sheila Konschuh at 403-734-0179. Reinholdt also wants everyone to know that the ofce is in the process of moving. Not too far though, as they will be occupying a larger ofce and workshop space next to where they are currently set up. For more information on programs and events see www. Hopebridges.ca or call 403 983-3640.

Delivering for Canadian veterans actions speak louder than words

KEVIN SORENsON, M.P., Crowfoot Parliamentary Report Over the past years as your Member of Parliament, I am pleased to report that Remembrance Day ceremonies are always well attended in our riding. I have laid the Government of Canada Veterans Day Wreath in the smallest and largest communities in our riding over the years. I commend everyone who takes the time on Nov. 11 each year to stand with Canadas military veterans in remembrance of the great sacrices they have made and continue to make. Our Conservative government believes that a proud nation that sends brave men and women into harms way must stand with them upon their return; that is why since taking ofce, we have made numerous improvements to support and services for veterans. Through eight consecutive budgets, our government has invested almost $5 billion in new funding to enhance veterans benets programs and services. Close to 90 per cent of the departments $3.5 billion budget is going toward direct services and support for veterans and their families. Canadians can be very proud of our response to their issues. While 90 per cent of veterans come home without any need from Veterans Affairs, not all veterans make a smooth transition. For these veterans, improvements to the Enhanced New Veterans Charter provide tools and help to meet their needs. These benets include: Income replacement that ensures their annual income does not fall below 75 per cent of their pre-release military salary with the minimum pre-tax salary set at $42,426. An additional monthly financial benet of up to $1,709.27 for those that suffer from lost job opportunities because of permanent and severe injuries. In the event that a Veteran has been severely injured in the service of Canada and cannot nd suitable employment on a permanent basis because of those injuries, an additional monthly support of $1,047.53 is available Those that have completed rehabilitation and are able to work but have not been able to nd a job or have a lowpaying job, may also receive a tax-free monthly payment of up to $2,593.32 plus an additional $328.64 per dependent child. A one-time, tax-free award for injuries up to a maximum of $298,587.97. Up to $194.45 per month for wear and tear on specially maintained clothing to support a disability. In addition, veterans and their families may benet from a range of other programs offered by Veterans Affairs Canada and the Department of National Defence. Our government is also partnering with community-based organizations to help deliver services to our most vulnerable veterans. Through our innovative partnership with Service Canada, veterans and their families also now have access to over 600 points of service nationwide for basic information or help with applications. Further, through our new online tools such as the Veterans Benets Browser, and an improved personalized on-line account, our veterans and their families can access the information they need simply and quickly from wherever they are in the world. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-6084600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca.

The Wreckers Chapter 1

PAT FULE Fule for Thought There are many changes that happen in education and at specic schools. In PE for example, there have always been students who dont like PE, and only want to take the minimum of classes so they can graduate. Im totally ne with this; there are many sports I dont like either. However, our school has tried a new approach in the last few years that may surprise you! Heres how it works: you take all the kids who hate PE, dont like to try very hard, and then, you put them all in the same class! Thats right, you get all the ones who dont change, who fool around, who hate activity, who have attendance issues, and you throw them all in the same class! Mmm mmm, now who wouldnt want that class every day for an hour a day and two hours on Tuesdays! Guess who gets to teach this class?! Yep, you got it me! The discussion started in my principals ofce. Pat, you have such a knack with kids, they love your sense of humour, and that you care about them. You will be the one who can reach them, and put the fun back in PE! Now as I look back on this, it feels like I was being given a lot of news with a little real message slipped in! Like this: Pat, its a great day, the birds are singing, the sun is shining (your dog died), the sky is blue, its wonderful! Do you see how I may have been fooled here?! So, the end result is that I teach Recreational Gym! So I thought Id share with you some of the stories from this class so far. First of all, you need to know that Ive taken Rec. PE and named them the Wreckers! The other thing is, none of them ever expected to have a tness test! When I broke the news to them that we were like any other PE class at school, they seemed shocked and a bit angered. What, Mr. Fule?! I didnt sign up for your class for tness tests! I mean, no offense, but I always saw this class as a second spare, grumbled Johnathan. This is one of my hockey guys, who Ive dubbed Johnny Danger for many reasons! As we were getting ready for the dreaded Beep Test, Johnny scowled and said, look at that kid in the other class, Mr. Fule. Dya see what hes doing? Hes stretching Mr.Fule, stretching Im out! I had to work some positive magic here, I didnt want this to spread! Youll be ne, Johnathan, youre a hockey player, youre in shape. He replied, I skate so I can coast, I hit guys, and I block pucks this bodys not designed for running! Another husky student heard this and added, yeah, I got a question, Fule (yes, its true, high school kids often call us by our last names not sure where or when that started, but its here!) Anyway, Stan asked, on this tness test, do I get extra marks cuz Im fat and I smoke? I told him to do the best he could, and the usual, maybe you should try to quit smoking?!?! To that, he said, yeah, I guess I should, Ive got asthma pretty bad, too! Youve got asthma, you smoke, and youre about to do a tness test?! I punched 9-1-1- onto my phone screen, to be safe! The Wreckers are made up of some unique characters. Theres Ryan, who will not take part in this PE class if its the rst class of the day. So every Wednesday, Ryan takes a 0 for the sport we play. Its a matter of principal, Mr. Fule. No one should be running before 9 a.m.! I have another girl named Brooke, who hates Dodgeball. I always give my students the option to use the tness room rather than play Dodgeball, so theyre not human targets! Yeah, I thought shed be safe on the exercise bike, until I saw her pedaling and she leaned forward to adjust the settings. BAM, she rammed her forehead into the bikes computer monitor! Once I knew she hurt her pride more than her head, I asked her if I should bring up a hockey helmet! Maybe she could sign one out for her grad night, too?! She shook her head, with the death look kids can give, but the red mark on her forehead still glowed! Now getting back to the friends Ryan and Johnathan, you should know that Ryan is native, and Johnathan is white. No, not just white more like clear, or transparent! In fact, Ryan said, hes the colour of raw chicken! Mr. Fule, Ryans being racist, he says Im really white, and Im the colour of raw chicken! Hmm, I hadnt noticed, but perhaps, hes no, stop it, Pat! Johnny Danger asked, how come he can make fun of me for being white, but not the other way?

Eye See Eye Learn

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor The Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO) have partnered with the Alberta government through Alberta Health Care to make sure kindergarten aged children have good eye health. In Alberta, eye exams for all children up to the age of 18 are covered free for eye exams, but the AAO Eye See Eye Learn program is also providing a free pair of glasses to all kindergarten children that need them. The frames are of current styles and quality and carry a one year warranty. Many people dont know about the program and we want them to be aware of it, said Dr. Michelle Minvielle of the Strathmore Vision Clinic. Early detection of any visual problems will enhance their learning, as 80 per cent of their learning is through vision, said Dr. Garth Anderson of the Strathmore Vision Clinic. If there are any struggles or deciencies in how their eyes see, coordinate or focus, it will relate back to their learning difculties. If you catch it early it wont lead to later problems. Minvielle said parents can watch out for some indications the children are experiencing trouble seeing. If they struggle with reading at their grade level, avoid near activities, lose their place reading, or become distracted quickly, these may be due to vision difculties, said Minvielle. The AAO website indicates that 25 per cent of students have vision problems and 60 per cent of children diagnosed with learning problems have undetected vision problems. Gone are the days when the school nurse asked if you could read the Big E on the far wall. The eye exams offered through the program are comprehensive, similar to the exams given for all patients. Some parents dont think about getting childrens eyes checked if a problem isnt evident, but both Anderson and Minvielle said it is a good idea for all children to have an assessment to rule out any potential problems. Anderson said that often the child doesnt know what clear vision should be so they cant mention it to their parents. It is nice to have the parents of children that age in the examination room. Often it becomes quite evident if there are difculties presenting themselves, then we can illustrate and demonstrate the solutions and improvements, said Anderson. There are a lot of misconceptions out there; like they think glasses make their eyes lazy, or if they get glasses too young they become dependent on them. We try to quash those misconceptions in the exam room. Eyes need clear images to develop properly, so they can avoid things like a lazy eye with early intervention. The earlier we catch these problems the better the outcomes will be, said Minvielle. Childrens eyes can be examined as early as six months, and keep growing until about eight-years-old. For that reason, doctors recommend yearly exams. We can rule out a lot of big problems. We recommend the rst test is between six and 12 months. We can do an objective test at that age. We can check for eye turns, health conditions, cataracts, tumours ... quite a lot of things that start to develop at that

age, said Minvielle. Anderson said that the clinic also deals with eye injuries and infections. All patients are covered for emergency exams. Anyone can drop into the clinic immediately, for help with these types of problems. The Strathmore Vision Clinic has some of the latest diagnostic equipment and technology available. The clinic has been in the community for over 23 years and Anderson said they try to give good continuity of care. So, patients seen for initial assessments through the Eye See Eye
Learn program can have their records retained there, so they can be used for comparison at later dates if necessary. Anderson said he is thankful for all the qualied staff that has served in the clinic over the year. I think to me, it makes me energized and proud that we can continue to provide high quality care to Strathmore and surrounding towns, said Anderson. For more information on the Eye See Eye Learn program call the Strathmore Vision Clinic, or visit their website (www.optometrists.ab.ca ).

Local artist participates in Gleichen Librarys open house

MANNY EVERETT Times Contributor Library services are a large part of Gleichens community building and its accessibility to arts and culture though its partnership with the Marigold Library services. Librarian manager of the Gleichen and District Library, Paula Pietrobono was pleased with the turnout for the librarys open house on October 29. Our day went very well, with a good number of patrons coming in to enjoy coffee and goodies as well as to view Bill Dixons art exhibit. Later on in the evening we had several children who came and enjoyed doing a pumpkin craft. We appreciate the community support, said Pietrobono. Local artist Bill Dixon displayed many of his various art pieces in the gallery above the library facility and was on hand to explain the different mediums he had used in the pieces. Fairly new to Gleichen, Dixon is calling it home for now. He has his ne arts degree, and a social welfare degree from University of Calgary, and spent a lot of his life in Ministry with the United Church. His muse comes from whatever happens to catch his eye at the moment, whether it is a drive in the countryside or a car graveyard. His amazing ability to capture the essence of his subject was denitely evident in his work that was on display. Dixon along with his new found partnership with the library will be offering art classes for anyone interested in the discipline. He can be contacted through the library in Gleichen. At 7 p.m. Mark Flebotte, a representative from the Alberta Treasury Branch came, who on behalf of ATB, the Gleichen Agency presented a $500 donation to the Gleichen and District Library in celebration of ATBs 75th Anniversary of providing banking services to Albertans. The donation is being used toward xing up the entry way and oors at the library facility. The Gleichen and District Library is very appreciative to ATB for their generous contribution!

SO WHAT IS HOSPITALITY ANYWAY? We recently moved to Strathmore from Ontario. For our family of ve this represents a major shift as all three of our kids were born in Sarnia and have only known that place as home. Ive often thought of hospitality as opening your home and being a good host. It was making a great meal or other tasty food. It was all about making someone feel welcome. And it is. But what if its also something more? What if hospitality is much broader a fundamental openness to the people we encounter? How might our town, our neighborhoods, our schools, our lives be different if they were marked by this reality? What if the best answers to our deepest needs and questions arent dened so much by information or solutions but in how we open our doors to one another. Hospitality isnt only for those good in the kitchen and keeping their house clean its a way of life. Hospitality is meant to shape our churches and politics, our work and our schools, our homes and our faith and our schedules and our meals and our lives. Our family is thankful for the way weve received these kind of open doors as weve moved to Strathmore. Offers of assistance, helpful suggestions about the best places to nd , warm hellos, expressions of generosity, sharing of names and smiles simple, yet profound gestures all freely offered. It reveals a lot about what this town is about. As a follower of Jesus, its also a great reminder of how our actual theology (what we know and believe to be true about God) is best expressed in our actual and real lives. Our actual theology is best expressed in our actual hospitality. Its easy to forget what its like to be new, or the stranger. Hospitality as part of the fabric of a community radically invites openness, welcome, and creating space for new relationships and friendships. Our family is committed to living like this for the next new residents of Strathmore. Even as this gift has been freely offered to us. Pastor Glenn Peterson Hope Community Covenant Church
Provincial Fire Administration wont ruin rework fun

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor The Chief Fire Administrator for Safety Services of Alberta Municipal Affairs wants to reassure people that they are not looking to prohibit the use of reworks, but rather improve how they are used for safe enjoyment. There are two classications of reworks; one is low hazard, those sold by retailers to the public for personal use; and high hazard which are reworks professionally set and discharged by reworks cannons. The changes we are proposing are intended to provide clarity to the public, retailers and municipalities, so that low hazard (family) reworks can be enjoyed safely, wherever the local municipality has determined that they wish the activity to occur, said Kevan Jess, Chief Fire Administrator. The revised code will clarify a municipalitys authority over the process by the establishment of bylaws concerning permits and sales. Users will obtain purchase and discharge permits. Jess said in the past, there was some confusion over whose jurisdiction the process fell under, depending on the relationship of re departments and their municipal counterparts. He said the majority of changes will be centered on low hazard reworks. In response to a request for a province wide ban of reworks by the Alberta Fire Chiefs Association, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs conducted a professional telephone survey of Albertans in 2008. The results of this survey showed Albertans were divided on the issue with a slight majority (54 per cent) in support of continuing to allow the use of low-hazard reworks, said Jess. With little supporting evidence that increased injury levels were caused by low hazard reworks, it was considered that each municipality could use their discretion to set conditions for use or ban their use. Jess said the lack of injury documentation is because most injuries would be reported to Alberta Health Services, and they have no recording mechanism in place to track injuries specically caused by reworks. The re risk statistics are more easily obtained, but there is not necessarily consistency in reporting practises. He said the new revisions will make contact information available to local re wardens, so if there is a re hazard or re ban in place, the warden can follow up with those that have purchased permits, to ensure they are aware of hazardous conditions. Users will also get some educational information at the time of purchase on safe practises. Jess said there will be little change to high-hazard regulation. Distributors and wholesalers will obtain provincial permission for distribution rights, with the Chief Fire Administrator for the province developing relationships with them, for better communication on safety frameworks for safe storage, distribution and other matters related to reworks. It will help ensure safety measures and eliminate oversights in the wholesale distribution of reworks in or to Alberta. The Chief Fire Administrator and the Fire Technical Sub-council are working with stakeholders regarding their concerns to ensure that no restrictions, which are unrelated to ensuring public safety, are put in place as a result of Code revisions, said Jess. The revisions are expected to be in place in the spring of 2014. We are also working with the wholesale and retail reworks distributors and to provide for a reasonable transition period after the code adoption, for further education of retailers before these changes take effect, said Jess.

Prevent a fall and enrich the community

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor Resident Manager of Wheatland Lodge, Vickey Cooke is issuing a proclamation that November has been declared Fall Prevention month. Anyone can fall, but as we grow older the risks increase, said Cooke. Everyone should be aware of the hazards and risks. The Canadian Disease Control agency said that one in three adults will fall each year, and among the elderly, it can lead to fatal consequences. More men than women die prematurely from fallrelated injuries. Non-fatal falls often lead to emergency room visits or hospitalization, with residual impairment of mobility, or sometimes brain injury. Measures like exercising to keep muscles strong, reviewing medications for side effects, eliminating obstacles in walkways and getting regular eye examines are just some of the prevention measures that can help. Seniors are a vital part of our families, communities and province; giving generously of their wisdom, experience and love. It is a fact that one in three seniors falls each year, with 50 per cent of them falling repeatedly and have nine times as many falls as other population groups in Alberta, resulting in 7,700 hospital admissions and 20,000 emergency room visits. Falling or the fear of falling can lead to depression, hopelessness, loss of mobility and independence. So individuals and organizations across as multitude of disciplines are working together to increase awareness of this issue and encouraging Albertans to take steps to prevent falling and maintain and improve the quality of life for Alberta seniors, so they remain healthy, active and independent, said Cooke through her proclamation. Wheatland Lodge staff, in partnership with Bayshore Home Health, are putting on some workshops throughout November to assist with fall prevention measures. There will be special speakers on Nov. 17 and 21 on fall prevention and they are inviting community to attend.

Nightmare home purchase frustrates family

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter When Michelle and Chris Strauss decided to move their family into Strathmore they were looking to buy a new, never lived in home. The hope was there would be no concerns about repairs or any headaches that can sometimes come from purchasing an older home. They found a manufactured home that would work perfectly with their needs and budget. A house that originally sat on the plot of land they purchased had been destroyed in a re. A new house was being built to the original owner of the propertys specications, but before he moved in, the original owner put the house up for sale. The Strauss family bought the home in October 2011. Shortly after moving in, they discovered electrical, structural, plumbing and heating problems, most located in an addition that was part of the new construction. The structural integrity was in question, and they actually had to weld metal supports (for the pylons underneath) said Michelle Strauss. After they signed for the mortgage, the Strauss family discovered they didnt have electricity in most of the kitchen. In other areas of the kitchen, pot lights would explode, leaving glass on the counters, causing a dangerous situation for the couple and their two children. In addition, the homes furnace wouldnt stop running, so they had an electrician come in. The electrician started repairs but never came back to nish the work. After having a look at the house, their lawyer also said the roof would need to be lifted, reinsulated and restructured. For the rst winter in the house the addition between the main house was at least 10 degrees colder, said Chris. He went to take a look at things and said instead of using hard ductwork, corrugated ductwork was used and it was on the ground for about 12 feet. It conducts airow and in the winter it would be pushing cold air. The month after we moved in, we had gone to the lawyer and the only thing he said was that the roof needed to be repaired, nothing else was said about anything else, said Michelle. So he said well do you want to go ahead with the xing of the roof. and its like well if its just the roof, yes, of course. So we never backed out at that time because we just thought okay its just that one thing, added Chris. Only a few weeks after moving into the house, the Strauss family discovered the houses structure, electricity, plumbing and gas hadnt passed inspection. The house builder, from Airdrie, came back and did a few minor repairs, but by that point the Strausses didnt trust him and werent sure he was xing the problems. We thought we would get this house and it would be new (with no problems). Our real estate agent said you dont have to worry about an inspection because its a brand new building, you have a warranty on it. said Chris. At one point in time I was under the house, and between the addition and the house I could see inside the house, said Chris. The Strauss family lawyer suggested the couple hold back $50,000 from the sale of the home. Unfortunately, they have been unable to secure any of those funds to be able to begin the repairs. The family red their rst lawyer, and after not having much luck with their second one, they are now working with a third. I have mentioned more than once to both (previous) lawyers that we cant live in this house, my daughters are freezing. Literally my daughter was freezing, she could not be in the addition, in her bedroom, it was that cold, said Chris. Michelle is equally frustrated. Walking into it, a brand new home with a warranty you would think (its ne). We didnt sign up for this, she said. The couple said that the real estate agent told them they should have no worries whatsoever because it is a brand new house, with a warranty on it, which sounded good to them. It was only after they bought it that they found out the warranty doesnt cover any of the problems they have been having with the addition. If we knew the issues right up front we would have never signed, plain and simple, said Chris. The Strauss family wonder why the Town of Strathmore would allow a home not deemed t for occupancy be sold. According to Linda Nelson, Strathmores deputy chief administrative ofcer, it is up to people to do their due diligence when they are buying a home. We dont know when somebody is purchasing a home, we dont get involved in that, she said. Since Apr. 7, 2011 the Town of Strathmore has had a le on the home, listing all of the work and deciencies that the builder had been working on spanning over 18 months. The last note in the le was Oct. 1, 2012, outlining that permit fees had not been paid. Continued on Page 15

Let the buyer beware

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter When the Strauss family purchased their new home in 2011, they never expected it to turn into their worst nightmare. Despite assurances from their real estate agent, it was only after discovering problems and trying to correct them that the couple found out the new home warranty didnt cover the addition to the home. The Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA) has strict guidelines when it comes to their agents helping people buy or sell their homes. The agents are required to disclose problems to the buyer, provided they know about it themselves. While the common law provides for a requirement for sellers to disclose major hidden defects (material latent defects), they are under no obligation to disclose anything that is discoverable on a reasonable inspection of the property, said Charles Stevenson director of professional standards for RECA. Stevenson said if anyone asks if there are broken window panes or if shingles are crooked, for example, then those are things that could be reasonably discovered in an inspection and there is no requirement to disclose. But there is a requirement for honesty in how the question is answered. The real estate professional should have a conversation with the buyer about all the things they will come across while buying. For instance, the seller is only obliged to disclose material latent defects, and so the buyer and their agent should go discover the rest. One way thats done is to get a home inspection, even if warranties are suspected to be in place. In the case of the Strauss family, the seller may not have known about any material latent defects because he had not lived in the home previous to selling it. When a real estate professional is aware of a (material latent) defect they must disclose it, said Stevenson. He said one of the fundamental legal concepts when home buying is caveat emptor, Latin for let the buyer beware. While most times, buying a new home will not result in problems, and the building is covered under warranty, it is always good practice to have a home inspection done, to see if any obvious defects can be found.

Horror home purchase

Continued from Page 14 On Aug. 29, 2011 the rst report from the town about the roof was made. Inspections were done, and it was noted that no occupancy would be granted until the nal inspection was complete. We always tell people when youre purchasing a new home it is really smart to come to the town ofce and check permits and make sure permits have been pulled for everything, that there are no deciencies et cetera, said Nelson. We have no way of knowing when people are purchasing or if they have done their due diligence. The only time we get a copy of title is when subdivision has occurred, then we get a copy of the plan being registered but thats it. Or sometimes if somebody applies for a real property report, we might ask for a copy of title. The town was doing everything that were supposed to do; were inspecting and were noting deciencies. Nelson encourages people to speak to the municipality before purchasing a home. Come in and ask if permits were taken out for things like decks, garages, basement development. Make sure there are no deciencies, (but) if there are deciencies, make sure they have been veried and are conrmed corrected, said Nelson. Michelle Strauss and her two daughters left the home early this summer. None of the conditions have been xed to date due to a hold back of funds. Chris is still in the home. The family has recently hired a new lawyer and they are currently still ghting for the $50,000 and to see the repairs done. Honestly we dont really care about the money as long as the house is safe and repaired and done, said Michelle.

Trying to change Albertas court system

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter Dani Polsom recently made headlines Alberta when she had the publication ban on her name lifted so that she could speak about her own sexual abuse case. Polsoms case was thrown out and the accuser cleared of all charges after dragging out the case in the court systems, leaving Polsom and her family angry and ready for a change in the legal system. Wildrose MLA Rob Anderson joined Polsom in the ght for changes in the legal system, and eventually Alberta Justice conducted an internal review. Anderson presented a petition to the Legislative Assembly this past April to expedite all cases of crimes against children. The petition also included a recommendation to automatically trigger an outside investigation, independent of Alberta Justice, when cases are stayed due to institutional or crown delays. The petition asked that: victims over the age of 18 be granted the right to waive publication bans on their names if they choose to speak publically; publish the number of crown stay of proceedings and withdrawals annually with an updated action plan from Albertas Attorney General detailing how the problems are being addressed; and ensure that resources are being allocated so that the crown prosecutors ofce is able to effectively manage all prosecutions against violent offenders, especially those charged with sexual and other violent crimes against children. I mostly did it just because I didnt want it to happen to anybody else, said Polsom. I knew if somebody didnt question the situation, it was just going to keep happening. I couldnt imagine if the same thing were to happen to somebody in my family or to somebody that I love; having to watch them go through that, knowing that maybe if I would have stood up or said something, that things could have been different. Sexual offense cases can still technically be delayed, but things are supposed to start being pushed through the system faster now, said Polsom. With her case, the accused kept pushing the dates back. There were delays in the process because there was no court time, a prosecutor wasnt assigned fast enough and a number of other things went wrong with her case until it was eventually dropped. When they dropped it I had originally said what would happen if I stood up and told everybody what he did and say my name because there was a publication ban. They said well, well put you in jail, said Polsom. She couldnt keep silent any longer. I believe that if you want to stand up and say this happened to me, you should be allowed to, especially if youre over the age of 18, said Polsom. Polsom was abused from the age of nine to 17. She only found the courage to speak up in 2009 at the age of 24. Its hard because you denitely need proper help, and there are all these different counsellors that you could go to who are free. But I dont always nd for all of the cases that its the right treatment, said Polsom. Its really expensive to go to an actual psychiatrist who knows exactly what youre going through and how to deal with it in a more clinical way. She said she has been to multiple counselors, but has only lasted a couple of months with each before realizing it isnt quite what she needs. Its different every day for sure. Sometimes its like you just push it out of there, and then some days its all really hard. Other times youll notice that you treat people differently just because of stuff that youve been through. You have severe anxiety disorders and stuff like that, said Polsom. A lot of people need to do whats right for them. They do need to stand up if they havent ever told anybody and do whats right for them and go through the right processes. Some people dont nd that pressing charges is whats right for them, but even nding somebody to talk to and healing in their own way is really important. The more you put it down and try and not think about it, the worse its going to get. Polsom said her family has been supportive, standing by her side through everything. The accuseds family still argues that he couldnt have done anything wrong. In this kind of situation, its he said, she said, so you are going to have the people who dont believe you, said Polsom. I think people automatically assume that nobody is going to believe you - but somebody will. You just have to nd the right person to trust and just ignore the ones that dont (believe you), said Polsom. She said she would still go through the court process again, even if she had the same end result. The process taught her a lot about herself. She said taking part in the pre-trial in which she had to outline details about what had happened to her is something she feels made her a stronger person.

John Starkewski had left his family home near Winnipeg, at the age of 16 and went west to become a wrangler for the Sam Cross Ranch in Alberta. Cross was supplying horses to France to be used in World War II. Cross asked him if he could ride six horses at once and John said yes, so he gave him the job, said Florence Starkewski, Johns wife. Johns job was to deliver the horses to Regina, where John heard about recruiting efforts, and he gave notice to Cross because he wanted to enlist. He became a member of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corp, First Division in Calgary. After training, Starkewski was posted to Camp Borden, and went overseas to Scotland and England. Picture the small town of Burwash, Sussex, England in 1940, with its quaint streets and houses bordered by farmland, sitting about 25 miles from the sea. John had multiple duties at his posting there: supply ofcer, ofcers aid and driver. Sometimes he stood guard outside the headquarters that was set up in a residence in Burwash. Florence was a young girl, sent off to boarding school in Wales, but home to look after her father after her mother died. She was 17 when she and her cousin rode their bicycles past John at guard duty. An introduction led to conversation,
which led to love and marriage the following year. Her father had to sign papers for her to marry and Florence said they needed to get permission from the army of when to marry, as they were required to wait until the assault at Dunkirk had been completed. John left his bride in Burwash, where their son was born, to accompany the troops throughout the campaign in Europe. He was able to come home once in a while, when granted leave. It was three weeks after the birth of his son Lorne before John had the chance to see him. Most of the bombing was going on in London; Florence said they occasionally had to seek shelter in the bomb shelter situated across the street from her home. She said it really never bothered her much. The shelter was underneath Rudyard Kiplings house and had a sh and chips shop right next door. Florence came from a family with military background. Her father fought in the Boer war and her brothers also fought in WWII, stationed in the Middle East, France and Italy. Florences father worked with the nuns to help evacuees from the war. She said there was a prisoner-of-war camp nearby, where German soldiers were kept.

I think we were more afraid of that than we were of the bombs, said Starkewski. Florences father died of a heart attack, so when the chance for her to go to Canada arose, she went with the other war brides. They boarded a bus in the dark, staying underground until they could board the ship Franconian. There was a convoy with guard ships front and back of the Franconian and a ship of wounded soldiers. They were told if they were married to Canadian soldiers they would have their Canadian citizenship. That privilege was later revoked and they had to reapply years later. Florence obtained her dual citizenship on a visit back to England. The Franconian docked in Halifax and Florence had to take a coal train for 1.5 days to reach Dauphin, Man. She travelled by car, accompanied by a horse drawn sleigh to her in-laws home. John had told her how nice Canada was, but in the winter it was a bit of a shock. She had no winter clothes, but relatives had some for young Lorne. Johns family was of Ukrainian and Polish descent and did not speak English. She said her mother-in-law had a somewhat cold personality. It was a small house and she shared quarters with ve children, her bed separated by a small curtain. She said there were times that she longed to see England again. Everything changed, said Starkewski. the food, the language. There was an outdoor toilet and no bath. I hadnt experienced that before. She said when John nally came home from the war, there was no notice. He just walked into the house at 2 a.m. one morning. Her mother-in-law gave her a broom and dustpan, ve yards of material for a dress and a pair of coveralls to start her new life. The Starkewskis went on to purchase Johns grandfathers farm, without help from the defence department, eventually moving to Alberta. John died in 1995. Her only son Lorne has also passed away. Florence will be 90 on Nov. 23.

Gleichen remembers
SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor Members of the Gleichen community are making preparations for the annual Remembrance Day celebrations. Many men from the community signed up and went to war for their country over the years. The ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the Gleichen community hall. Father Green will be presiding over the event. They are hoping to have a special speaker, songs from the Gleichen choir, a color guard from the Kings Own regiment on hand, for the placing of the wreaths at the cemetery cenotaph, which will occur directly after the service. The hall will be open for refreshments in the afternoon. They encourage residents to come out and pay their respects and remember the sacrices the military men have made in wars past, and contributions of our peacekeepers today.

Low value on soldiers sacrice

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor Ron Howard, a retired military serviceman, is questioning how much a veterans service and sacrice is worth to the Canadian government. According to the inadequate benets awarded by a tangled system to gain pensions and services, Howard reasons service is not valued much. It is the governments obligation on behalf of the people of this country to look after veterans. If they are going to ask them to serve, they better bloody well cough up what they owe, said Howard. He said he is tired of the lip service given to veteran issues. Howard said he, and other veterans like him, are disgusted by the photo opportunities taken by self-serving government ofcials, followed by inaction on veterans behalf within the Veteran Affairs department. Howard has 14 years of service. He served with NATO forces from 19631975 and also served in Cyprus peacekeeping efforts in 1980-1982. His regiments were the Lord Strathcona Horse (Royal Canadian) and The Fort Garry Horse. He currently receives a seven per cent disability payment, for hearing loss and back injuries incurred while in service. It is indigenous to the armoured core, infantry and artillery; where you get a bad back lugging stuff and bad hearing with heavy artillery-guns going off. It took me four years and three months to nally get a medical disability pension from the DVA (Department of Veteran Affairs), said Howard. I had to prove to them that I served in a special duty area, which is what Cyprus was called in those days, and sustained injuries when I was there. I sustained injuries on special duties while at a United Nations posting. I had to prove it to them. I shouldnt have had to, because the documentation was there. Pensions are awarded by injury formulas modied by factors of when service occurred, length of service, injuries sustained and proof of no pre-existing conditions. Howard said there is not a consistent denition of a veteran either, with each military conict category coming under different rules and conditions for benets. Howards service falls under old contract guidelines and he is not eligible for the revised or new awards. It took Howard years of complicated back and forth processes to receive his pension, which he has heard is a pretty standard delay for most veterans. Veterans are greatly hindered by bureaucracy in Ottawa. The people employed by veterans affairs are working for the government; it is who they owe their allegiance to and they dont have an obligation to the veterans, said Howard. He thinks case workers are told to save money and turn things down all the time. He said there are reams of paperwork required. There are too many rules and regulations that hamper the veteran. It should be simplied, so you are able to go ahead on your own time, with government assistance; there shouldnt be a lot of paperwork or bureaucratic stupidity. The procedure is so lengthy and time consuming, most guys give up, said Howard. Howard is not alone in his views. In September 2013, the Supreme Court awarded six veterans, who fought in Afghanistan, the right to sue the government under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for better compensation. One of the members was Daniel Scott, who lost a kidney, spleen and part of his pancreas in an explosion and was only awarded $41,000. In new revisions to veterans benets, lifetime pensions were taken away in favour of lump sum payments, with most awards not providing reasonable compensation. Glen Kirkland was a fth generation soldier who sustained burns from re, hearing loss, shrapnel wounds, eye trauma, a pancreas injury and PTSD from an IUD blast. In order to get a pension, he had to remain in service 10 years. His injuries made it impossible for him to stay in service to reach that requirement, or meet the universality of service rule, so the federal government discharged him without a pension, returning his pension contributions. If you are going to support the veterans of this country, then support us. Do not have veterans resort to suing the government. Dont have enormous payouts. Put people on regular pensions, which we rightly deserve because we served our country, said Howard. When we signed on the dotted line, or basically took the Queens shilling as they said in the days of old, we signed a blank cheque for our (butts), for the government to send us anywhere they deemed t, to put us in harms way anywhere they wanted us to go. Howard said that a regular adequate pension gives more compensation in the long term and affords the veteran a way to contribute to society, well into his eighties. Pension amounts are currently not adequate and also subject to claw backs. Howard lost $9,600 per year when he turned 65, and he did not even want to discuss the lost pension surpluses that were conscated by the government and used to pay down the national debt. Responses he got from government ofcials regarding his pension claw-back indicate the issue is not up for review or discussion. Soldiers requiring long term facility care are also experiencing long wait times before treatment facilities spots are available. www.ombudsman-veterans.gc.ca Howard suggests those currently wrangling with the federal bureaucracy obtain and keep copies of medical and service information, so that it can be supplied if it is missing from the ofcial les. He suggests veterans bring their les to their Branch Service Ofcer and ask him to contact their Provincial Command Ofcer, so he can help address the le with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Howard suggests it is in the governments best interest to offer good benets and wages to those willing to serve. It is estimated 4,000 recruits are needed yearly to keep enlistment numbers at a premium. With better high paid job opportunities, with good benet incentives, fewer Canadians are looking to the military as a career option. Howard suggests those lower numbers are also setting up those that do serve for injury eventualities. Enlisted personnel have no right of refusal for repeated redeployment into combat zones. We keep regrinding people, and sending them over to these places. Eventually it will catch up with them, said Howard. Howard said change is too slow, even with advocacy from supportive organizations. I think even with enough veterans organizations, and there are quite a few across the country, and the Legion itself, especially Dominion Command (Legion headquarters), that get onto it, which they have done in the past and continue to do so; it takes a long time to stir the government to move on certain things, said Howard. In true military fashion, Howard encourages everyone ghting for personal or group veterans rights, on to continued effort. Persevere, said Howard. Do not give up ever, no matter how difcult or what you have to do, continue until you get the nal result and a pension.
We shall not forget.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

While we go to services around the country to remember all our valiant men and women Veterans, this year we are also recognizing those who fought in what has been termed The Forgotten War, the Korean War, which was fought from 1950 to 1953. It was a conict that occurred way too soon after the Second World War. In 1950 North Korea poured all it had on South Korea. The newly formed United Nations protested, but to no avail. Eventually, this became a full-blown war with the members of the United Nations and South Korea on one side, and the Chinese and North Korea on the other, and our men were once again called upon. Canada made
a larger contribution in proportion to her population than most of the nations which provided troops for the international force. It also marked a new stage in Canadas development as a nation. Canadian action in Korea was followed by other peacekeeping operations which have seen Canadian troops deployed around the world in new efforts to promote international freedom and maintain world peace. There are 2,267 servicemen buried in the United Nations Memorial Cemetery, Pusan, Korea. Of these 1,588 were Commonwealth soldiers, including 378 Canadians.

As we are remembering our Veterans, another faction of the forces must also be commemorated: The Native Soldiers. The First Nations People had people in the rst and second World Wars and the Korean War. Yet, they were also forgotten. They have much to be proud of. More than 7,000 Natives served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War, and an unknown number of Inuit, Metis and other Natives also participated. One Native veterans group estimates that 12,000 Natives served in the three wars. Each time, Canadas Native soldiers overcame cultural challenges and made impressive sacrices and contributions to help Canada in its efforts to restore world peace. It was an incredible response consistent with a remarkable tradition. War should never be gloried. And, the sacrices and achievements of those who participated must never be forgotten. We owe it to our veterans to keep the memory of their service alive. THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD, AS WE THAT ARE LEFT GROW OLD. AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN.

Battling the effects of sexual abuse

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter After her nephew Keni Wilkes committed suicide on Sept. 30, 2012, Nicole Lussier knew she had to do something to spread the word about the effects of sexual abuse. Together with her sister Hunter Troup (Kenis mom), Lussier started a green ribbon campaign to remember Keni who took his own life after dealing with the after effects of sexual abuse for 20 years. Lussier admits she, too, had been sexually abused when she was younger. Its a thought (I think of) every day. So I could imagine what he went through, how much it weighed on him, said Lussier. I knew about the physical part, but I was going through the same thing. I didnt know about all the other stuff, I didnt know about the sexual stuff at all until (it went to court). The same accuser sexually abused both of her nephews. Her other nephew is still coping with the effects, but she said he is handling it better than his brother did - he has undergone counselling and has taken advantage of the help. Keni wouldnt let anybody in, said Lussier. I have had 28 years to deal with it. But I think the worst part is, since coming out, my friends say yeah (the accuser) tried to sleep with me. And thats horrible. Why didnt anybody say anything? It wasnt like it was an easy decision either way to hold it in or to let it out. But the thing is, I am the victim so I own that right. If I never wanted to say anything I own that right. Im not responsible, its not my fault; he did that. Lussier didnt speak for 28 years about her abuse, but she never harmed herself, or self-medicated. She said each person copes and deals in their own way, and for her everything just kept compounding. When her nephew died, everything just sort of exploded. To me it was just factual, it happened, move on. I got an eating disorder out of it, but thats pretty much the extent of it, said Lussier. I havent ever abused any drugs, Ive never drank heavily. I just have the eating disorder, which is minor compared to what a lot of them go through. People often think that when the abuse stops, everything stops. Thats not the case - the effects can last a lifetime, and for some it can become unbearable. People think when a child is abused, once you stop the abuse and you recognized it and you do something about it, its over and done with, lets move on, noted Troup. Its not over., Many of these children go on to have physical and mental illness from this that can plague them for their whole lives. When a child is traumatized, it can cause mental illness for years until it kills them. They self-medicate against that pain, and thats what killed my son. Troup said once a child is sexually assaulted, they are never the same and they never forget. The accused in this case was released on a technicality in the early 1990s. According to Troup, the courts needed to either have witnesses or physical evidence. It was a few years after the incidents took place before both Troups sons spoke up, which meant all physical evidence was long gone. The two boys were not able to be each others co-accused, and so the accused was acquitted. Children are never the same. Not only do you take away their innocence, you force this child to be an adult with no tools, said Troup. You didnt just have sex with a child, you murdered that child that day, and I know this from watching my two boys. Troup said the support for mental illness isnt there like it is for cancer, and theres more support for girls than for boys. She would like to see group homes available for boys from the ages of 16 to 30 or even 35 in which they could undergo a treatment program. Troup said if the boys were treated in the home for at least three months, it would allow them to be removed from their friends and any bad inuences. There would be indepth therapy, and they would learn to come back to the word step-by-step. Troup said sexual abuse affects loving, sexual and partner relationships. She said victims need to be taught its not their fault, and never to do this to other children. For now, Troup and Lussier are starting with their green ribbon campaign as a way to spread awareness. There is a Facebook page - In Living Memory of Kenneth Wilkes - that is both a memorial to Keni and an information site to connect others to the help they need.

Its a Wonderful Life is a wonderful show

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER Times Contributor Heres my confession: Ive never watched the movie Its a Wonderful Life. Before seeing Rosebud Theatres version of the story on Nov. 1, the closest I came was reading a plot summary online. Rosebud Theatre presents this classic story as an on-stage radio play, and I feared it might be boring to watch actors stand at microphones and say their lines. But from the second Andrew Legg, playing the RSBD Radio announcer, stepped onto stage to welcome us and thank the shows sponsors, boredom was the furthest thing from my mind. This is a fast-paced retelling of George Baileys life. It moves so quickly, in fact, packing in so many life events, I was glad Id read the plot summary ahead of time. Id also had the idea that the play would be mostly serious, but I was wrong about that too. This show is hilarious! Rosebuds Its a Wonderful Life is a radio play within a stage play. The actors, dressed in 1940s styles, stand and speak into microphones of that era, but they also act out the story. Most cast members play several roles, and also take their turns producing sound effects in the on-stage studio. Rosebud makes the radio play format even more authentic by inserting several commercials, advertising Rosebuds actual sponsors in a way thats as entertaining as the story itself. Nathan Schmidt gives one of his typically remarkable performances as George Bailey, who sacrices his dreams to help the people in his community, then concludes his life is worthless. My theatre-companion, who was seeing Schmidt act for the rst time, said repeatedly, Hes amazing! I have to agree. Heather Pattengale, who played Emily in Our Town, sparkles again as Georges wife, Mary. What I enjoyed most in Its a Wonderful Life was watching familiar performers show off a greater diversity of talents than Id seen them display previously. Mike Thiessen, who was Mr. Newsome in Our Town, and Telephone Repairman in Barefoot in the Park, gives an outstanding performance as Clarence, George Baileys bumbling-but-hopeful guardian angel, and his distractible, elderly Uncle Billy. He portrays his roles so believably, Im still not sure how much of his performance is Mike Thiessen himself and how much is only the traits of his characters. I also marveled at the performance of Joel Stephanson, who played bass in Cotton Patch Gospel and in May and Joe, but whom I hadnt seen in a full acting role. Here he plays elderly pharmacist Mr. Gower, so convincingly hunching his back and changing his voice and facial shape, I did a doubletake when I realized it was Stephanson in the role. Then I was fascinated to watch him transform into greedy Mr. Potter, chewing a cigar with evident delight. This show is full of funny and ordinary, nasty and sympathetic characters and they tell a story thatll be a highlight of your Christmas season. If you, like me, are one of the rare Albertans who hasnt seen the movie, just make sure you look up a plot summary before you go. Its a Wonderful Life runs at the Rosebud Opera House til Dec. 23. Theatre tickets include dinner in the Rosebud Mercantile. Get them at www.rosebudtheatre.com or 1-800-267-7553.

Langdon Alliance nds new location

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor After months of holding Sunday services in a members home, the Langdon Neighbourhood Alliance Church members held their rst service in a new roomy venue, at the Clubhouse of the Langdon Boulder Creek Golf Course on Oct. 27. A few people asked around town and this building became available. We are here for the near future, said Pastor Chris Haggith, who is the newly retained minister of the church. Haggith said worship is not all about the building where you worship, but that people get together and share their worship. On this special day, a band from the First Alliance Church in Calgary came to lead the congregation in song. The congregation is made up of a majority of young families, and Haggith anticipates the numbers will grow. With Langdons population growth up 87 per cent in the last seven years, he is excited that there will be new people interested in getting involved. The key to a churchs success is their relationship to God and each other, said Haggith. We want to see members get involved and use their talents. He likened church membership to a hockey game, stating people have a choice to sit back and watch, or get on the ice and play. He is convinced that active involvement brings the overall best rewards for the church as a whole. Haggith is married to Marlene; they have four adult children and ve grandchildren. They are aware that parents need a church that offers a secure nursery, and Childrens Church looks after the children up to Grade 2 in an adjacent building. Originally a carpenter for 15 years, his service in a home church led him to consider the ministry. He attended Heritage Theological Seminary in Cambridge, Ont. and received his Masters degree in Divinity. He was a Senior Pastor for 9.5 years at the Thousand Island Baptist Church in Brockville, Ont. When asked what brought him west, he answered with one word, God. Spirit-led direction is a staple in his decision making processes and he is interested to see where God will lead the congregation. The group is a seed church of the Strathmore Alliance Church and the Carseland Bow River Alliance. Services are held at 10:30 a.m., with a half hour coffee meet and greet before the ceremony. The atmosphere is friendly and vibrant, and they are just beginning to develop additional programs throughout the week. Pastor Haggith invites anyone to drop in. Come and see for yourself who Jesus is, and what its all about, Haggith said. This church experience may be very different from your experiences in the past. The Neighbourhood Alliance services will be ongoing at the Boulder Golf Course, which is situated at the south end of Langdon on the Hwy. 9 road through town, until golf season gears up in the late spring. At that time, the congregation may be looking for another good location. Access to the golf course begins with a left turn at the Boulder Creek community sign. For more information call Pastor Chris Haggith at (587) 999-8663.
Lets hear it for the boys

Every year the Strathmore High School Dance classes put on a semester end performance. The theme for this years Dance 15 class were songs sung by male artists. The goal for Dance 15 is to introduce the students to a wide variety of dance styles. Both dance classes held a performance, the advanced class on Monday, Oct. 28 and the introductory class on Tuesday, Oct.29. A big thanks goes out to all the volunteers that make these performances possible.

Calgarys Fire Exit Theatre shines spotlight on Rosebud residents

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER Times Contributor The new play Here Breaks the Heart: The Loves of Christina Rossetti will spotlight the talents of ve Rosebud residents when it opens with Calgarys Fire Exit Theatre, Nov. 6. Mark Lewandowski, General Manager of Rosebud Centre of the Arts, is directing the play. Natalie Gauthier and Conrad Belau, Fellows of Rosebud School of the Arts (FRSA), are acting, along with John Moerschbacher, who completed Rosebuds one-year certicate. Glenda Warkentin, also an FRSA, is designing costumes. Two Calgary actors will also perform. The play was written by Canadian Diane Tucker in a playwriting class in Rosebud this spring. It was staged for Rosebuds Budding Playwrights Festival, where Gauthier and Belau acted, and Lewandowski directed. Lewandowski was so impressed with the quality of Here Breaks the Heart, he says he told Val Lieske, artistic director of Fire Exit Theatre, I think you need to look at this play. And as he watched Gauthier perform the role of Christina Rossetti, he told her, If I ever direct it, I want you playing this character. A few months later, his wishes came true. Lieske asked him to direct Here Breaks the Heart at Fire Exit Theatre and Gauthier accepted the role of Christina Rossetti. Here Breaks the Heart is exploring Christina Rossettis life, but were doing it in a memory play or a ashback play, Lewandowski says. Shes older in life and shes being proposed to, and she says, well, before I can accept this (proposal), you need to know this. And she starts talking about her life. One of the conicts for Rossetti, now so well-known for her poetry, is that, at that point in time, in Victorian times, if shes going to become a mother and a wife, then shed have to put away poetry, Lewandowski says. She says poetry is the way she connects to God, in her art. So what is God saying to her -- that she has to be single? And thats the true line of the play, he says. Theres this guy whos asking her to marry him ... Is she going to say yes? Natalie is an amazing actress, Lewandowski says. (Shes) just alive and interesting on stage. She inhabits the character and is thoroughly entertaining. Plus, Gauthier really, really connects with Rossetti, with this idea of what is expected for an artist, particularly for a female artist, he says. And while (the play) is based on a real character and its set in the Victorian era, (Gauthier) just connects with it so intimately, that it really is a play for our time as well. Lewandowski hopes the audience will be entertained, but he doesnt want it to stop there. There are questions that are asked in the play, and he hopes people will go away asking them. Are these choices that (Rossetti) made valid? And how do they apply to our lives now? Here Breaks the Heart: The Loves of Christina Rossetti runs Nov. 6 - 10 at the Engineered Air Theatre. Tickets are available at 403-640-4617 or www.reexit.ca.

FINDING BALANCE
Community Falls Prevention Program
FALLS PREVENTION SESSIONS

Anyone can fall, but as we age the risk increases. The good news is we can take steps to prevent a fall. Answer this checklist to see if you are at risk for falling: 1. Have you had a trip, slip or fall in the past year? 2. Have you stopped doing activities because you were afraid of falling? 3. Do you feel your muscles are weaker or it is hard to get up from chair or toilet? 4. Do you ever have trouble walking or feeling unsteady on your feet? 5. Do you feel dizzy when you stand up? 6. Has it been more than one year that your doctor or pharmacist reviewed your medications? 7. Has it been more than one year since you had your eyes checked? 8. Do you experience urine leaking or have to hurry to the bathroom? If you answered yes to one or more questions, you may be at risk for falling. Finding Balance is a collaborative initiative facilitated by the Calgary Rural Primary Care Network and Growing Families Society. To learn how to prevent a fall, attend one of the community sessions planned for Hussar, Standard and Strathmore.

Field Stone winery takes Buy Alberta award

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter On Sept. 23, Field Stone Winery took the Buy Alberta food award for their Strawberry-Rhubarb wine. It is the rst year these awards have been held by the Alberta Food processors, to help promote Alberta food products from production to nish. There were 120 food and beverage companies competing in ten categories. Arlene Dickenson, who appears on the TV show Dragons Den, was the special speaker at the event. It was a great honour to have such a wonderful product honoured in this way, said Marvin Gill of Field Stone Winery. A lot of people in Alberta are very creative; making Alberta products as good as anything you can nd in the world. I think there are many successes. Marvin and Elaine Gill received an etched glass trophy and a cash award to support and develop their business. They grow, press and bottle their wines at their acreage located just off Hwy. 817 south of Strathmore. Its been 15 years since we started the orchard, when I look back it kind of amazes me, Gill said. He said when he rst started people thought he was a little crazy, but it was a good motivator to succeed. Field Stone Wine is known all over the world. He learned his trade from Dominic Rivard, a world renowned wine maker. He taught me everything I know, said Gill. For some of the wines, Gill soaks oak chips in the wine and lets it mellow for a month. They press, take out the pulp and pump it into special storage tanks for a month, with a nal ltration when it is ready for bottling. They have ve different types of fruit wines and ve different dessert wines. The wines vary in sweetness from dry through medium to sweet. Gill freezes his fruit after picking, which allows him to schedule his pressing as needed. This wine (Strawberry-Rhubarb) is our best-selling wine. It has always sold well, said Gill. He makes about 6,000 litres of it a year. Last year he made 375 cases, which was all but gone by summer. So this year, he made more. He said 500 cases take a whole day to bottle and he bottles over 10 times a year. He had some advice for young people considering getting into a similar business. You have to know the implications of what you are getting into; its a lot of work, said Gill. He said there is a quite a nancial investment starting out. He talked about regulations for wine sales as an agricultural product. Owners need to have at least ve acres of land actively in product and grow 75 per cent of the product themselves. Gill said that he sometimes think about retirement. For us to sell, it would have to be someone who knew the business and was passionate about it. You have to like agriculture and you have to know about wine and winemaking. It leaves kind of a narrow margin, said Gill. He doesnt think the recent European trade deal will affect his business much. He said, in fact, the wine prices might decline. He said that producing wine from Alberta fruit is unique and it gives him a bit of an edge on the imported market. Ken Sobey, a friend of the family, helps sell the wine at Farmers Markets; he said when he gives out samples, 95 per cent of the people cant believe how good it tastes. The Gills have recipes that can be used to make cocktails, and Sobey said many people use the wine in various food recipes. While they sell through Farmers Markets, , they also do direct sales over the internet www.eldstonefruitwines.com ,and the product is now in many liquor stores. They will have gift packs for the Christmas season, comprised of one bottle of fruit wine and one dessert wine. It will be sold at the Christmas Farmers Market in Strathmore, being held on Nov. 30.
Making Rosebud glow

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER Times Contributor Lights were turned on for two 8-foot high angels and three 12 and 24 foot stars in Rosebuds Angel Square, beside Rosebud Theatre, Oct. 25, just in time for Rosebud Theatres Christmas show, Its a Wonderful Life, which opened Nov. 1. The 24-foot star represents the Bethlehem star that guided the Wise Men to baby Jesus. The stars and angels, designed by LaVerne Erickson and created by Craig Palmer, a metal sculptor and blacksmith from Standard, are the latest in a series of projects by the Rosebud Community Enhancement Society, funded by a Wheatland County community enhancement grant. Erickson said, wed applied for $36,000, and we got $12,000. Using volunteer labor and corporate donations, we made that $12,000 go a long way. This spring, residents Charlotte and Stan Riegel planted ower boxes around the village. Bill Daugherty set up a tness centre in the community hall, and his wife Cheryl Daugherty repainted the town sign. Other volunteers constructed a small park, planting about 100 trees and installing nine new park benches that were donated by Rona. Other residents planted many ower bulbs they look forward to seeing come up in spring. With donations from Knibb Developments, volunteers prepared ground for a community picnic site, which theyll build, along with a gazebo, next year. And next Christmas, the stars and angels in Angel Square will be joined by more gures that point us to the very rst Christmas.

Improv duo to perform in Rosebud

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER Times Contributor 7 Andres Improv, a two-man improv troupe, brings their unique brand of fun to Rosebuds Thorny Rose Cafe, Nov. 18, at 8 p.m. The group is comprised of actor Tim Hildebrand, whos performing in both of Rosebud Theatres shows this fall, and Leland Klassen, a well-known stand-up comedian. Hildebrand and Klassen performed improv and stand-up comedy together all over western Canada for four years in the late 1990s, until they parted ways, Hildebrand says, because (Klassen) really wanted to pursue stand-up, and I really wanted to pursue live theatre. Theyre reuniting for just this evening, and Hildebrand looks forward to the reunion. Its really fun to work in front of a friendly, sober audience with another comedian that you trust that you know is funny, he says. Leland is the funniest man on the planet. Hes a very physical comedian. He really uses his body. Klassen is also versatile, and Hildebrand emphasizes thats because Klassens work is always clean. Hell do Just For Laughs. Hell do the Comedy Cave in Calgary. Hell do the Yuk-Yuks club in Toronto, he says. But he can just as easily do a Promise Keepers event ... Or those big, big youth retreats, because hes so clean. Hildebrand invites people to check out www.lelandklassen.com, to get a sense of Klassens humour and personality. Physically, we make kind of a funny pair, Hildebrand says, because hes tall and gangly, And Im kind of short and stocky. Our senses of humour click really, really well. Hildebrand now spends most of his time acting, primarily throughout Canada, but also in the U.S. Hes done a bit of TV work, including a stint on Corner Gas, and a few other small lms. But hes continued to do improv work with troupes like Panic Squad. Ive loved doing improv for 20 years, he says, and to be able to do it at this level, with somebody this good, is a rare opportunity. People who want good, clean fun will enjoy the evening, he says. Were just going to have a blast and play our games and make fun of each other and take suggestions from the crowd, and maybe well call a few people up and just have a great time. It will be a riotous good time, Hildebrand says, with a laugh. A rollicking good time. The Thorny Rose Cafe will serve food and drinks as usual until 6:45 p.m. on Nov. 18, then close briey in order to set up and re-open the doors at 7:45 p.m. The improv event starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10, and seating is limited, so Lynn Moerschbacher, Thorny Rose manager, encourages people to get tickets early. Talk to Lynn by stopping in at the Thorny Rose, or contact her at 403-677-2507 or RosebudThornyRose@gmail.com. Visa, Mastercard and debit are all welcome. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door, cash only.

McCarty leads, Thompson out
ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter After losing two more defensemen in a 6-1 away loss against the Leduc Chrysler Oil Kings on Nov. 2, the UFA Bisons were led by Mason McCarty to victory over the South Side Athletic Club (SSAC) in Edmonton, 4-2 the following day. The Bisons had a 2-0 lead against the SSAC Boston Pizza Athletics, until they came within one in the third. McCarty scored for the Bisons to make it 3-1, before the Athletics scored again. McCarty scored the empty netter to put the nail in the cofn; he now has 16 points in 13 games, including ve powerplay goals. I thought we did well, Bisons Coach Dan MacDonald said. We were down two players to start, and then we had more defensemen go down, so to be able to win that game on Sunday was a big thing because our players really had to work hard together to get the win. Philip Anderson has been out for the past few weeks after suffering a concussion, but fellow defensemen Austin Cameron and Sebastian Kilcommons had minor injuries in the Leduc loss. All three are expected back this week. Tristan Thompson, the highest scoring defensemen in the league with 14 points, hurt his shoulder in the Bisons win against SSAC and likely wont be back very soon. Hes in a sling right now, its not separated, but its swelling up, MacDonald said. Theyre good players, all of them. When they go down like that, you miss them for sure. Shane Fraser, a typical forward, has been assisting on the blue line for the past three weeks with the roster holes. He can soon move back to his natural position. We should be alright, were getting three of those four guys back, MacDonald said. Another area of concern for the Bisons this past weekend was their goaltending. Garrett Mason made 11 saves on 14 shots before being pulled in the rst period against Leduc, replaced by Carter Seminuk. Mason fought back in the next day victory, with 22 saves. The Bisons are second in the Chrysler Division with an 8-5 record, and have the most goals in their side of the league with 43; however, they also have one of the worst goals against records with 41. The UFA Bisons travel on Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 to play in Lloydminster and St. Albert.
Strathmore hosts volleyball challenge

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The Strathmore High School Spartans hosted their annual volleyball tournament from Nov. 1-2, as good preparation for hosting upcoming zones for the boys side on Nov. 1516. It was literally the best Ive seen them play in two years of coaching. They battled so hard. Brady Morris served phenomenally; hes worked on his jump top. It was very effective for most of the teams, Brandie Dundas said, boys coach. They just played as a team, and everyone had each others back they were covering, and hurrying for each other. Ultimately in the nal game, just a couple breaks didnt go our way. In that nal game, Bow Valley High School of Cochrane knocked them out of the semi nals. Its a team were going to see again in zones, Cole Hintz, boys co-coach said. Everyone got in here or there. They denitely contributed. Having beaten rival Medicine Hat High School in pool play, the boys
Strathmore High School hosted a senior girls and boys volleyball tournament from Nov. 1-2, against many of the teams they will be facing in zones Nov. 15-16, which they will be hosting. Facing tough pools in the tournament, the senior boys lost in the semi finals to Bow Valley High School, while the senior girls were trumped by Brooks Composite High School in the final.
Doug Taylor Photos
felt that win spurred them on even harder. We have a pretty big rivalry with them. Theyre all very big, and were lucky enough to get the win out of that, Dundas said. We had a really tough pool, probably four of the tougher teams. The girls of Strathmore High School won their pool, and beat Crescent Heights High School to get to the nal against Brooks Composite High School. We just thumped them, it was really fun to see, Coach Randy Moncks said, of the girls game against Crescent Heights. Moncks squad had a poor start against Brooks, going down 21-12 in the second set, but coming back to lose only by 25-21. Brooks strong setter and four girls just under six feet tall proved too much for the Spartans. We battled. It was good to see them dig themselves out of the hole, Moncks said.

A jump for playoffs

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter In their rst playoff game of the year on Oct. 29, Strathmore High Schools varsity boys volleyball team eventually wore down Strathcona Tweedsmuir School at home in four sets to continue their post-season: 25-23, 23-25, 2514, 25-10. Strathcona Tweedsmuir won silver in last years league playoffs. It was denitely a must-win, said Strathmore Coach Brandie Dundas. We played very well. We pushed hard, and there were no mental lulls. We stayed aggressive even when the other team wasnt playing as well; we kept taking advantage of their weaknesses. It was really impressive, especially at this point in the year. Next up on Nov. 4 (result not available as of press time), however, are a team that has won the league championships every year since 2010: Foothills Composite High School. Strathmore has not been crowned champions of the league since 2005. Foothills Composite is unbeaten this season, and nished in rst place; they defeated fourth place Strathmore 3-1 1014 Westridge Road, Strathmore AB

Youre invited to the 2013
on Oct. 16. We just have to serve aggressively. One of our strengths is taking teams out of their system, so they cant run a three-man offense, Dundas said. We are a strong serving team when were on, and we have the ability to take a lot of their big players out of matches. Strathmore High School hosted an exhibition volleyball tournament Nov. 1-2 good practice for their upcoming challenge. Its always nice to play in front of your home fans, and let the kids be seen by their peers as someone whos quite good at things, Dundas said. Their parents will be able to come, and the staff see them as part of a team. Its really exciting. Strathmore is also hosting zones, giving fans two opportunities to come see important games in their home gym. Well get to do it again. With this being before, a couple people can see how awesome it is, and then hopefully will come back at zones, Dundas said. The Strathmore High Schools junior varsity boys also seeded fourth at the end of regular season play, and are set to face off against rst seeded (and undefeated) Holy Trinity Academy on Nov. 4 as well (result not available as of press time). Though Strathmore are defending junior varsity champions,
The Strathmore High School varsity boys won their first playoff game against last years silver medalist Strathcona Tweedsmuir School at home on Oct. 29, 3-1. Strathmore takes on the number one seeded Foothills Composite High School on Nov. 4, who are unbeaten so far this year.
Holy Trinity blanked them on Oct. 21, 3-0. Both varsity and junior varsity players were on the bench for the Nov. 1-2 tournament.

Great weekend for U19 ringette

STEVE WILSON Strathmore Ice The Strathmore Ice U19 ringette team squared off with Rockyford for the rst time this season in an exhibition road game on Nov. 2. Rockyford came out strong and took a seven goal lead over Strathmore, but the Ice hung in and managed to stay focused and score two goals back-to-back, thanks to Gabi LeMoine and Kyra Keer in the second period (with both goals being assisted by Tassia Rushford). The Ice girls remained focused and composed throughout the game with only giving up one penalty during the hard-hitting contest. The nal score was 9-2 in favour of Rockyford. The Calgary Bow View Vandals came to Strathmore for our rst league game on Nov. 3. These two teams proved to be very well matched and provided fans an excellent and exciting game indeed. Calgary took a 2-1 lead in the rst period, but not to be out done Strathmore cameback in the second to tie the game up at two goals a piece. Again Calgary took the lead with 11 minutes left in the period and again, the Ice tied it back up less than a minute later to bring the nal score to a 3-3 tie. Very well done to Shae Lane for achieving her rst hat-trick of the season, and again to Gabi LeMoines for her assists.

Juniors move on, seniors slip

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter Though Holy Trinity Academy (HTA) had swept Strathmore High School (SHS) in junior boys volleyball action on Oct. 21 by a score of 3-0, the Strathmore Spartans had their revenge in Okotoks on Nov. 4. SHS won 25-21, 25-17,25-19, to earn a berth in the league nal against County Central High School (CCHS) on Nov. 6. I just encouraged the guys to have fun, and they went out and really did, Cole Hintz said, coach of the junior boys. They were out there playing for each other, and it made a big difference. The Spartans last loss was against CCHS on Oct. 28, the match went to a deciding 18-16 fth set. The team we beat yesterday (HTA), we played in league, and they beat us in three as well, Hintz said. Our team has denitely been improving and its starting to show in the results, the way theyve been playing together. County Central nished 5-2 in league play, while Strathmore nished 3-3. However, County Central has only won four more sets than SHS, and was only three points ahead in the standings. Strathmore is looking to retain their league championship from 2012. County Central High School has only placed as high as the semi nals in recent years. The senior boys Spartans did not fare the same as the juniors, losing to Foothills Composite High School in three straight sets Nov. 4. They had lost to them on Oct. 16 by a score of 3-1 as well. It is what it is, said Brandie Dundas, senior coach. Theyre a very strong technical team. They dont make errors for the most part, so its hard to capitalize on their errors when theyre not making any. Theyre a big, aggressive, fundamentally sound team. They kept chipping away at us, wed go point for point, and every once in a while theyd get that second point. The sets were close 25-19, 25-22, 25-19 however Foothills has won the senior boys league nals every years since 2010, and look to continue their streak. They will face HTA in the league nal on Nov. 7. Were denitely proud. Our ultimate goal is the zone banner, which is still out there, Dundas said. Strathmore will host boys volleyball zones on Nov. 15-16.
Spartan victory
The junior girls volleyball team is nearing the end of their season. The girls played a home game against Vulcan on Tuesday, Oct. 29. It was a fierce battle, but the Spartans over came with the win in the end.
Senior girls get revenge

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The Strathmore High School (SHS) senior girls volleyball squad is onto their second league nal in two years, having beat Strathcona Tweedsmuir on Nov. 4 by three sets: 25-21, 25-21, 25-16. Strathmore had lost to them in last years nal, and as well on Sept. 25 of this year, 3-1. We played very well, our errors were way down, said coach Randy Moncks, of his senior girls. We just tried to work on their condence, and their belief that they can play with anybody. Strathmores last championship came in 2006, as they have normally been knocked in the semi nals in recent years. I think they just realized they can play. Thats my intent, is to make them believe that they can do it, Moncks said. We served tough, and we kept their big girl off the oor. We just kept on pounding up in the front line; they gave us free balls this time, and we capitalized. On Nov. 7, the senior girls will travel to Holy Trinity for the league nal; SHSs last loss was a game against Holy Trinity on Oct. 21. The Strathmore Spartans are 5-2 on the season, while Holy Trinity has not lost a match all year. Holy Trinity has three solid players, Tweedsmuir has one weapon, Moncks said. Were going to have to play our best, and keep the ball away from their really solid middle. The SHS junior girls coincidentally lost to Strathcona Tweedsmuir in their semi nal on Nov. 4: 25-16, 25-15, 25-21. The juniors were 3-3 on the season, while Strathcona Tweedsmuir won all six of their games, and are still undefeated.
Braves win two, Warriors unbeaten

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter At one point during the peewee Wheatland Braves game against the Taber Golden Suns on Nov. 2, the score was tied 2-2. Though Taber eventually scored one late in the third, the Braves then exploded with eight goals for the 10-3 win, led by Tarun Fizers hat trick (including a goal short handed). Fizer also added an assist, while teammates Ethan Phan and Kyle Crnkovic had three point nights. The funny thing is, especially with Fizer, it shows up with goals and assists, but he is really outstanding both ways, Braves Coach Keith Klemmensen said. I dont know how many times hes the rst guy up in the far end and hes the rst guy back. He creates so many positive turnovers on the backcheck for our team in the neutral zone. Hes not the only one, dont get me wrong, but hes remarkable because hes that way both ways. On Nov. 3, Crnkovic and Fizer traded stats, as Crnkovic scored a hat trick (one short handed as well) and had an assist in the 8-1 victory over Red Deer Parkland. Fizer had three points on the night. Braves netminder Kenny Holt-Stewart who faced 28 shots had his shutout ruined with under a minute to go. Klemmensen noted that his two rookies Crnkovic and forward Kyle Bray t right in with the second years. The two rst year guys are just outstanding, well-rounded players. They were really schooled well, he said. Fizer is top twenty in league scoring, with 21 points in 13 games; Crnkovic is not far behind with nine goals and nine assists. The Braves have their next game against Okotoks at home on Nov. 10, and hope to improve their record from 5-7-1. We just havent been playing as well as we can a lot, but this weekend, not a lot to complain about. They were really moving their feet, really executing a lot of stuff at full speed nobody had to really slow down at the offensive blue line, Klemmensen said. It was really indicative that theyre taking to heart some of the stuff were working on in practice. WHEATLAND wARRIORS The bantam Wheatland Warriors continued their strong winning streak this past weekend, with two home shutouts against the Red Deer Steel Kings on Nov. 1 (8-0), and against the Okotoks Oilers on Nov. 3 (4-0). The team is at the top of the South Central Alberta Hockey League, with a 12-0 record and 24 points the next closest team is eight points behind in the standings. The Warriors were led on Nov. 1 by Kyle Merkoskys three point night; teammates Lucas Muenchrath, Rylan Longmuir, Ryan Bell, and Cole Clayton had two points each. In total, the Warriors had four power play goals against Red Deer. Joel Krahenbil and Chayse Hnatowich had two points each the following game against Okotoks, while Merkosky continued his streak with two points as well. Merkosky is third in league scoring with 23 points in 12 games; Longmuir has 21 points in those 12 games as well. Wheatland bantam goalie Ty Tarvyd earned shutouts in both games, facing nine and 21 shots. The Warriors have their next game Nov. 8 in Strathmore against the Cranbrook Hornets. WHEATLAND CHIEFS The midget Chiefs had the week off and play at home on Nov. 9 against the Red Deer Elks.

Gleichen looking for fundraising

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The asphalt is being poured behind the Gleichen Arena, for an outdoor rink project slated to be completed next summer. Before it can be used for pond hockey more money needs to be raised. We didnt have hockey, so we started a pond hockey program to keep our minor hockey association, said president of Gleichen Minor Hockey, Cara Sheppard. Standard also has a similar pond hockey program. Some of the community kids have gone to Hussar, played in Rockyford. Some of the other local kids are in Strathmore, she said. If you build it, they will come. Sheppard is hoping for more support from local community groups throughout the winter to keep the project going. $45,000 has been allocated to the outdoor rink, but total costs could range anywhere from $50,000 to $136,000. Gravel has already been donated. Theres been some money put aside, but not enough to nish the project, Sheppard said. Gleichens indoor facility was updated a few years ago, but the outdoor rink, a size of 70 ft. by 150 ft., could turn into something else for the warmer months. There is absolutely zero (things) for the older kids to do here in Gleichen nothing, Sheppard said. So in the summer time, once we get the pad built, were hoping to put skateboard stuff out here for the kids, and well put some basketball nets up. Sheppard expects this to entertain kids from neighbouring towns and rural communities as well. Bassanos got a hilly thing for their kids to ride their bikes on, or theres the skate park in Strathmore, but theres nothing locally or around here, Sheppard said. You go through the town, the only place thats got good asphalt, is down the highway. We certainly dont want kids playing down there. Sheppard is also a director with the Gleichen Ag Society, who is letting the project take form on the land of Wheatland County. The Ag Society will also maintain the outdoor rink. Another temporary ice surface beside it is being prepared for the annual Hockey Day in GA for Feb. 8, going into its fth year.
