Following a yearlong leave of absence, the Junior B Strathmore Wheatland Kings are returning to the ice in the Heritage Junior Hockey League for 2014-2015. Strathmore Minor Hockey will operate the team through a separate not-for-prot board. Players who are now in their late teen years, and nished with minor hockey, have the chance to continue with Strathmore Minor Hockey, and play closer to homereducing travel. I think its the best of both worlds for Strathmore Minor Hockey, ourselves, and especially for the players, said Doug Murphy, vice president of hockey with the Wheatland Kings. Were happy the team is back, and well be happy to have the same level of support weve had before. We look forward to a new season. The Strathmore Wheatland Kings were established in 2008 by Murphy, Bob Grove and Tom Wynnyk. Wynnyk left the group after three years, and upon nishing the 2012-2013 season, Murphy and Grove decided to spend more time with family. Bob Grove and I were sort of carrying most of the team for the last couple of years. We decided to take a years leave of absence and decide what we both wanted to do, Murphy said, the teams previous coach, general manager, and president. It was tough. It kind of shocked the league a bit. Over the course of ve seasons had gotten better and better. Most of the other teams gured that we were one of the better organized teams it caught them a little off guard. Murphy and Grove will assist the Strathmore Minor Hockey group transition with the operation of the team, but to a much lesser degree than previous years; Murphy is also a member on the new board for the Kings, to provide advice and support moving forward with the HJHL. Murphy will begin the search for a new general manager and coaching team in the next few weeks. We have the core group required to get the team off to a new fresh start and we are lucky enough to have dedicated members who share our passion for hockey, said Blair Wilson, president of SMHA in a press release. The opportunities this team will open for our local athletes are only one of the many reasons SMHA chose to take this path. The SMHA board and members along with our passionate community will surely help this team succeed in this new beginning. Continued on Page 5
Olympic fever at the library

Over 50 children of all ages displayed their athletic and creative skills at the Library Olympics held on Feb. 20 at the Strathmore Municipal Library. The would-be athletes took part in sporting events and challenges such as bean bag curling, biathlon, torch building and more. Upon completion of all the required events they received a gold medal and goodies for their efforts. Parents were invited to sit and watch the Olympics while their kids competed in the sporting events. The Fraser family (above) complete the torch building event. Doug Taylor Photo

Grade 4 students encouraged to read classics

Teacher Melissa Benassi from Sacred Heart Academy had her class present biographies and synopsis from the classic books they have been reading over the last couple of weeks. The students got up and presented to their class along with pictures drawn of their particular characters. While it is important to get children to read (things like graphic novels that are a popular genre these days) the opportunities given to the exposure of timeless classics like Moby Dick, Heidi, Harry Houdini, and Harriet Tubman are invaluable.

Lions alive and well in Strathmore

MANNY EVERETT Times Contributor Every year the Strathmore Lions Club holds an amazing town Christmas party at the Civic Centre. This Christmas party, according to the club, is to give small businesses in Strathmore a place to have an ofce party with music, good food, and a holiday atmosphere. The Strathmore Lions Club decorates the hall, caters the meal, runs the bar, and cleans up after it. We serve a Christmas turkey and ham buffet for close to 400 people. This takes a 100 per cent club effort to pull this project off. Many of the local businesses participate by buying tables for the event. Tickets go on sale immediately in January for the coming year. This past year (2013) the entertainment for the evening was a 14-piece band that was spectacular, and certainly put people in the Christmas spirit. The monies from the event go toward community projects that are not funded by either provincial or federal governments, and the Lions Club happily is able to ll the hole for these special projects. In the past the money has gone toward the development of the Aquatic Centre attached to the Strathmore High School and the Civic Centre. This year the focus will be on projects including a new lawn bowling

The Strathmore Lions will be celebrating their 75th Charter Night on March 8. Anyone interested in joining or checking out the club is welcome to attend a meeting. Their regular meetings are held every rst and third Thursday of the month at 6 p.m., with supper to follow in the Chuck Mercer room at the Strathmore Civic Centre at 120 Brent Boulevard.

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter With the town continuing to slowly grow, the question of whether or not fulltime reghters are needed has risen. Currently the Strathmore Fire Department (SFD) is fully volunteerbased, as is the case with many rural re departments. The SFD is equipped to respond to many situations, including water rescue. In the future we denitely want fulltime reghters, as the town grows we will need reghters. As of right now we cant afford it, said Chief Admin-

istrative Ofcer for the Town Dwight Stanford. In the future if the town started growing fast and we need it, then council would have to make a decision if they would do it. Right now we have talked about it a few times and basically the town feels that we can get by the way we are going for the time being, but would it be nice to have them? Of course it would. The cost alone to having a full-time re department is a hard pill to swallow. You need a minimum of four reghters to man each truck and theoretically could need to pay a minimum of

12 members to cover a 24-hour time frame. Vacation time and sick leave would also need to be considered, as well as future raises for the members. When we go to full-time remen it will be well over $2 million a year, said Stanford. Municipal taxes for one year are approximately $10 million, said Strathmores Director of Corporate Services Mel Tiede, so if an increase of $2,000,000 in taxable spending was necessary that would raise taxes by 20 per cent. SFD Chief Muir Furzer said he concurs with what Stanford had to say on the situation.

Parade of Nations huge success

MANNY EVERETT Times Contributor The Parade of Nations supper held annually by Lord of All Lutheran Church started by being piped in by Piper Brandon Summers, followed by RCMP ofcers Constable Erin Peters and Constable Melissa Symes and the bearers of 17 international ags. Over 400 people were fed at this years annual sold out fundraising event. Participants were encouraged to Travel the world without ever leaving the Civic Centre and to experience the cuisine and avours of each nation represented. Favourites, of course, include bratwurst from Germany, ravioli from Italy, tortes and pastries from Austria; and who could resist supporting the Canadian booth for butter tarts and rhubarb compote. During the meal people were encouraged to peruse the rafe tables of all the donated items, which at the end of the evening surpassed previous years intake by $400. The entertainment for the night was Rhythm of the Rockies, a modern a cappella womens chorus. They are a diverse group of energetic women who are passionate about singing and performing. They strive to create an emotional connection with their audience through an eclectic range of genuine, entertaining a cappella music. The group recently won gold at the Sweet Adeline International in Honolulu for their Harmony Classic. For more information about the group contact info@rhythmoftherockies.org According to congregation member (and secretary) Linda Bergh, the night was run like a well oiled machine. Including the rafe and the tickets sold for the supper, the Church raised approximately $6,500 which will be used toward special projects.

2014 street improvement

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter The big roadway project for 2014 is the work scheduled for Lakeside Blvd. The project will include the replacement of most underground infrastructure and surface work between Park Lane Drive and Ridge Road. The project will also see new sidewalks installed north of Park Lane Drive and south of 6 Ave. In January the Request For Proposal (RFP) was sent out for the engineering component of the work. Jesse Parker, director of operations and engineering for the town, was pleased with the response. The 12 proposals were all reviewed based on a few guidelines the town follows, the completeness of the proposal, the qualications of the rm and its project team, the work plan for the project and the cost. All the applicants were qualied to the point that they met that 75 per cent requirement. After we reviewed the proposals one of the highest rated technical proposals then was also identied as our lowest cost proposal, said Parker. Associated Engineering has worked with the town in the past on the Wildower Reservoir project, and already has a good working relationship with the town. Council awarded Associated Engineering with the engineering services for the project. Councillor Rocky Blokland mentioned he is a little concerned about the construction nishing in time. Last year Thomas Drive wasnt completed for the Strathmore Stampede. Lakeside is a shorter stretch of road, and barring any weather problems or any unforeseen circumstances, Parker said, it should be done in the 10-week time frame. He also stated that they will be keeping Holy Cross Collegiate and Sacred Heart Academy in mind since construction will be happening during part of the school year, and they will try to minimize the impact to the schools.

Capsule Comments
When you see the words trans-fats on a food label, think artery clogger. These fats raise the bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower the good (HDL). They used for enhancing flavour, texture and shelf-life of many processed foods. Canadian legislation hasnt banned them yet, but many food manufacturers have reduced or eliminated trans-fats from their products. Still, reading the label is a good idea. Its not a good idea to skip meals, especially breakfast. Those who skip breakfast are ironically more liable to be overweight and have an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. The best advice? Eat three meals per day and if possible, eat the largest meal in the middle of the day. Children between the ages of 10 and 20 need about 1300 mg of calcium every day. They are still growing and calcium is important. They can get that amount from two cups of milk, one cup of orange juice and a cup of yogurt every day. Its been suggested that people who have trouble sleeping shouldnt watch TV too close to bedtime. This could extend to the popular computer tablets and are used quite often in bed. These devices, like TVs, contain LED lights which emit blue and bluegreen light which could cause sleep problems. This isnt a proven link but if sleeping is a problem, try reducing TV and computer use before bedtime. Pharmacists dispense more than just medication. We dispense information.

Pivot eld solutions being sought

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter Chief Administrative Ofcer for the Town of Strathmore Dwight Stanford told council that administration may have come up with a possibility on what to do with the pivot elds. For example, if somebody bought all the pivot eld, the 582 acres.if they purchased it then we would purchase some back if they didnt need all that land, said Stanford. With that in mind though, before you can sell property, you have to have a formal appraisal. An assessor has given some estimated numbers, but Stanford asked for the authority to hire an accredited appraiser to give a written report with details on how much the land is worth. Once administration nds that out, Stanford said, the town will then advertise and see if there are any businesses that may be interested in purchasing the land. Councillor Peterson questioned whether there might be difculty with being viewed as not being at arms length regarding the matter, but Stanford said he had discussed the matter with Hugh Ham, legal counsel for the town, who said he didnt believe that would be a problem. Council voted in favour of taking steps to obtaining an accredited appraiser. Albertas Promise Steve Marshman, a council member with Albertas Promise and owner of Rocking Horse Energy, made a brief presentation to council further explaining what Albertas Promise is and what they do. Two members from the group had made a presentation to town council at the Feb. 5 council meeting regarding their organization. At the time Councillor Denise Peterson had been looking for more answers. Marshman was able to satisfy some of Petersons questions and a motion was made, and unanimously accepted, for the town to become a partner with Albertas Promise. AERIaL ORTHo PHoTo CoLLECTIoN Wheatland County asked the Town of Strathmore and Rocky View County to participate in a regional collaboration grant program to collect aerial photography throughout the region. We use orthophotos as our GIS program as well. We have an Arc GIS program that we use and then everyone in administration has access to what we call ARC reader which is read-only capability to access the aerial photo and other information within the GIS system, said Jesse Parker, director of operations and engineering for the town. The cost to the town is estimated at $2,000 for the aerial photo, but Parker said it is a conservative estimate relative to the overall costs. Council agreed to authorize the Town of Strathmore to participate in the application for the ortho photo project. FRaUD PREVENTIoN A letter received by the town from the Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association requested that March be declared as Fraud Prevention Month. The letter also said to ask the community on Feb. 28 at 10 a.m. to log onto their favourite social networking site, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or a work website and change your password. Then as a show of support for fraud prevention month they invite you to tweet: I pledge to regularly change my passwords in support of ACCPAs fraud prevention month #abfraud2014 @ABcrimeprevent @(yourtwitteraddress).

Kings return for upcoming season

Continued from Page 1
YOUR COMMUNITY DESERVES RELIABLE HIGH-SPEED INTERNET.
WE BELIEVE
Kings games, Murphy said, will also boost the community involvement, as nearly 500 fans would attend previous home games even reaching 800 guests come playoffs. The team has great support, he said. Its been fairly consistent over the years. Theres a really strong fan base and volunteer base. We would expect it to stay the same. Though availability for ice time may be a concern, Murphy is also looking to retain players from the 2012-2013 team, who nished fourth in the south division with a 17-19-1-1 record. Murphy was able to protect ve players rights, but others have moved on to teams in British Columbia, Three Hills,
and Okotoks. Well ask the other teams and the league to encourage the teams to let them come back to us. Hopefully all the teams are in agreement with that, Murphy said. With the search for a new roster beginning in May, followed by a conditioning camp and tryouts in August, Murphy says hes excited to give the opportunity of sport to 18 to 21-yearolds in Strathmore. Sport teaches you a lot about life. If you can carry that discipline and teamwork and camaraderie into your late teen years, it becomes very forming on guys, he said. A lot of older ex-players remember their junior years and teammates probably more than anything else.

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor The Fire Capital Committee came forth with their capital plan purchase requests, to ensure area re crews have adequate equipment to meet needs within the county. The delay of recommended large apparatus and completion of the Dalum re station will impact the effective delivery of re service delivery and ultimately the public and reghters safety, said Judy Unsworth, Emergency and Fire Services manager. There was a request for a light rescue truck for Hussar at a price of $136,299. There is also a request for a Bush Buggy costing $108,396.50, and 60 per cent leaves $65,037.90 The county splits costs 60/40 with the associations, which mean the county pays $81,770.40 for its portion of the vehicle out of Large Fire Capital funds. Dalum Fire Association has the ground work prepared for the building their new re hall. The county previously approved $537,443, as their share of the cost. Dalum is asking for an advance of $200,000 on those funds, to begin building in the spring. These requests are pending the budget approval on April 1. Council approved the purchase requests. Councillor Alice Booth brought up an equipment question that was not related to this specic request, but applicable to the information delivered to all re ghters under Fire Chiefs making capital decisions. She said some reghters had approached her concerned about purchases of new re equipment, when old equipment could be reasonably upgraded. There was some clarication to the purchasing mandate that Booth said should be done. They are concerned about having to purchase new equipment. They feel they are somewhat forced to buy new equipment, when they feel they can still utilize the existing equipment, said Booth. As long as it is maintained and certied, they can use the equipment as long as they want, said Councillor Ben Armstrong. The Alberta Fire Commissioner www.ofc.alberta.ca recommends re services consider the following information found on their website, in regards to re equipment replacement. It is wasteful economy for a municipality not to provide apparatus and equipment of the best and most dependable type. The largest expense for a re rescue service is the cost of maintenance of the re apparatus and equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, re hall, licenses, insurances, heat and light. The initial cost of apparatus which has a service life of at least 20 years is proportionally small in the overall budget. The number of miles travelled and hours of pumping operation, do not normally provide a basis for determining the need for replacement. Many other factors limit the effective and economical life of an apparatus and make replacement desirable: advancements in design of reghting equipment; inadequate protection for driver and re ghters; structurally weakened chassis because of overloading; increased maintenance costs; parts replacement difculties with old apparatus; and lack of reliability under the stress of emergency service. Some of these drawbacks increase the dangers to the public and to re ghters because of the increased chance of accidents. Apparatus relieved from rst-line service may be retained as reserve equipment; this should also be considered when assessing replacement costs. Reserve funds should be in place so that a re rescue service is not left in the situation of shutting down because there are no funds available to continue, due to broken down equipment that cannot meet the certication. The Fire Capital Committee has mandated that any new purchase must meet or exceed NFPA standards for re apparatus, it doesnt mean it has to be brand new, simply that any purchases must comply with current reghting standards, said Emergency and Fire Manager Judy Unsworth. I was impressed by how thorough the Fire Capital Committee was and the time they took to review the considerations before them. EMeRGeNCY PRePAReDNeSS Wheatland Council approved $5,050 on Feb. 18, to purchase emergency cots blankets and pillows to equip Carseland, Gleichen and Rosebud with necessary supplies to accommodate residents or visitors in case of emergencies. It is part of the Emergency Management Policy and Vision statement to make Wheatland County a safe and secure place for residents, businesses and visitors during any emergency situation or disaster. The supplies will be divided between the communities and kept in their respective community halls. Gleichen Community Association had previously requested supplies as they had been caught supplied in the past when blizzards closed the highway. Motorists were directed to the Gleichen Hall and the organizers had to make due with whatever supplies were available. INSiDe JOB On Feb. 18, Wheatland County council approved the practice of short-listing internal employees for available job openings within the county. The CAO qualied he will be advised by the interview panels nal selection and then give his nal approval. If the CAO and staff determine that someone ts the position, it should be up to them to decide to do this, said Councilor Ben Armstrong. Openings will be posted internally, one week prior to outside advertisement of available positions. It is a practice the county outlined in its corporate values directive for employee recruitment, promotion and retention. There are differing views in human resource circles whether inside or outside hires are preferable. Those supporting inside hires say: You can fill the position faster. The break-in and performance level is higher as the employee is familiar with the organization. Save on advertising costs. There is less need for salary negotiations. Eliminates the poor fit factor or moves it to entry positions. Is a job motivator as it supplies upward mobility. Rewards loyalty. Fills positions in time of low unemployment rates. Those opposed say: It requires motivating staff to seek out the new positions. Logistics require an overlap that may have them doing both job positions work for a time. Promoting one staff member over another can sometimes cause internal resentments. Seniority doesnt necessarily mean qualified, in fast changing industrys. Has a ripple effect, as when one job is filled another is vacant and may mean learning delays for multiple positions. No new ideas or skills coming into the company. Councilor Booth cautioned that measures needed to be in place to ensure the candidates have the appropriate qualications, to ensure quality service to the ratepayers within the county.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Preserving and commemorating Canadas military heritage

To the Editor I am a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, which consists of members of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program who are dedicated to preserving and commemorating Canadas military heritage by teaching younger generations about the importance of remembrance. I would like to highlight a special effort that The War Amps is undertaking; the Newsreel of the Week Project! These newsreels were lmed by the Canadian Army Film Unit during the Second World War to document the troops in training and on the front lines. The front-line cameramen were soldiers rst. In addition to camera instruction, they received infantry training and took guns into battle along with their heavy 35 mm movie cameras. Putting their lives at risk, they captured footage of the battles and scooped the world on major events, including the invasion of Sicily and DDay. Many civilians on the home front would have watched the newsreels in movie theatres during the war. The Public can view this extraordinary footage as The War Amps releases all 106 newsreels to the public, one week at a time. Or, for home viewing, you can order the six-DVD set at cost-recovery price on waramps.ca. Sincerely, Kylie Besplug, Operation Legacy Member, Lethbridge

An advice column
PAT FULE Fule for Thought There are a lot of lessons we have to go through in our lives. Some are sad, terrifying, cause anger, and some that are embarrassing. I never knew that trying to get married would have some lessons as well. During our initial classes with my priest, Debbie and I couldnt help but notice the irony of a priest giving a young couple lessons on being married, and what it would all be like. If you recall, I tried to get out of marriage classes, and even after I had a falling out with my priest over certain issues, I had to endure more marriage courses with the United Church minister (by the way, never joke with your priest that you want to be married in his church because its bigger). I did try to bribe Deb with a $50 bill so we could leave, but that did not y! At least the United minister was married with kids; he could at least give us some good, sage advice. However, I dont remember anyone telling me the following: 1. You will not sleep full nights for many years. There will be diapers to change, night time feedings, ear infections, us, and basically all forms of disgusting bodily functions that would have once made you want to blow chunks yourself! 2. You will basically spend the rest of your life thinking and worrying about your kids even when theyre adults. You will celebrate when they triumph, you will grieve when theyre hurt, and you will be the nurse whenever and wherever needed. There is no nish line in parenting. Even when she was in her 90s, Debs grandma worried about her eldest sons hip replacement when he was 75! Dont count on the magic 18 age, because our parenting instincts dont seem to shut off when our kids hit adulthood. When they break down on a highway, or parking lot in the dark, we come running. The irony is that all I am able to offer in breakdowns is AMA and my jovial company! 3. There may be a period of time where your kids may not like, or want to be near you. You may be needed for a ride to school, but you may also be asked to drop them off where no one can see you. However, take heart you Jr. High or Sr. High parents, they come back to you, and the return is worth the turbulent teen years. You can even laugh about the ghts, the late arrivals at school, even dating! 4. When youre going out, your wife may say shes all ready to go but shes not. Ive made the mistakes of pacing, jingling my keys, and going out to the van to rev the old engine. Heck, Ive even raised and lowered the garage door to try and hurry up my date. Its not worth the battle to follow, or the cold, icy stare from the passenger seat! Instead, sit down and relax, youll go when shes ready! If youre not going to church or a fancy function, have a cold, frosty beverage, or even a short, power nap. Either way, youll feel better, and there wont be a World War III in your house! 5. At some point, you son will surpass you in many different ways! Learn to accept it, and even milk it for all its worth. If hes become taller and stronger, you can easily transition into not always being the one to carry heavy furniture, or shovel heavy snow. Hes the man of the house now! (at least for whatever unpleasant and painful job that only the younger, stronger version of you can handle!). Youll make his self-esteem and pride grow, and all you have to sacrice is heavy lifting, shoveling, and maybe even building things! 6. You will, as a husband to your wife, and a father of a young woman have to buy feminine products! At rst, I was mortied, and would try to hide them in the cart full of groceries, you know, camouage them! Dont bother, embrace this after all, its not like theyre for you! I have learned that this is all part of being the grocery shopper. I know brands, styles, designs, and wings you name it! I did have one recent dilemma, as I had to pick up a prescription for my 23 year old daughter. The pharmacist showed me the pills and asked if I had any questions or concerns. I wanted to say: my question is why I have to be the guy to pick up these, and my concern is that these dont work, and I become a grandfather! So, you crazy kids headed toward matrimony, or parenthood, get ready for the ride of your life its one of joy, heartache, anger, and forgiveness, but its also the most amazing journey ever. Try not to wish any years away, so that the kids would get older, and be more independent because then youre wishing your own life story away. Enjoy the ride, even if the road gets windy or really bumpy it is after all your trip!

Parade participation
SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter The discussion of whether or not town council should participate in the Calgary Stampede Parade was brought up at the Feb. 19 council meeting. Chief Administrative Ofcer (CAO) Dwight Stanford said that every year he would call and write to the Calgary Stampede about entering a town oat in the parade, but it took a number of years before he was nally told yes. The town participated for three to four years and then stopped. Then it was decided by the last council not to do it, so we havent done it for a few years. Some of the pros and cons, theres maybe some benets, lots of people see the oat going by. Its a challenge doing it, you have got to be right in there at ve in the morning and you cant be late, said Stanford. For the town oat and trailer there was about $50,000 spent in total. Stanford said that Calgary requires the oat be updated every few years, so there are now two different packages that the town owns to make the oat look different. At one time, Stanford said, the town took the oat to eight or 10 different parades. Gradually it petered off and recently the town has only participated in a couple of parades these last few years. I guess the biggest challenge is staffing it and for council to volunteer to go down there to do it, said Stanford. I think it shows really good community support, supporting local parades and so forth. Also I think its an economic development option, we receive quite a bit of publicity over us attending, said Councillor Brad Walls. Walls said he walked the Calgary Stampede route for three years and Strathmore has always been well received. He is prepared to commit to be a part and make that trip again this council term as well. Councillor Pat Fule said he would rather see the money used to upgrade the oat going towards something else in the community, planting more trees or things like that. He knows it not possible, but wishes there was a way to know what the nancial spinoff would be from participating in parades. Stanford said he has always found it to be a good thing to attend some of the local parades.

Sheriffs to patrol Strathmore?

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter Dwight Stanford, chief administrative ofcer (CAO) for the Town of Strathmore, said that a few months ago he had received a phone call from the Alberta Sheriffs saying they might be interested in increasing patrols on the TransCanada highway through Strathmore. A couple councillors have also talked to the CAO about the possibility and he wanted to know if administration should formally pursue gathering information. If council wants then I will pursue to see if they will and how often they will do it and so forth, said Stanford. This would be in addition to the agreement recently signed with the RCMP. I dont see any reason why we wouldnt contact the Sheriffs and nd out what they can do for us. (RegardCarseland $234,900 HUGE LOT! Downtown Strathmore Investment Property $239,500 Cambridge $369,000 Fully Developed, Move in ready home
less) of what were doing with the RCMP there are never enough of them around and if we can get the sheriffs at no cost to come into our community and help us with some problem areas to me is just a no-brainer, why wouldnt we? said Councillor John Rempel. Watch your step The CAO was asked if other municipalities use the services of the Alberta Sheriffs in this manner. He wasnt sure, but said that is something that can be looked in to. I would nd it valuable for council to receive that information so that we understand what the Sheriffs have to offer and compare the service and make some informed decisions going forward down the road in regards to additional policing, said Mayor Michael Ell. A motion was made to have administration research the feasibility of using provincial sheriffs for town trafc Wherever you are enforcement.
Take Steps to Prevent a Fall
Community Falls Prevention Program
Rockyford was really key to me and we deal with them lots, they all shop here and everything else and to go out there council may want to decide to go to one or two or three of those, said Stanford. It makes entirely no sense to me at all, I can see zero economic benets coming out of this and rather probably a few thousand dollars in expenses, said Councillor Rocky Blokland. I am a full supporter in staying local and by that I mean communities like Langdon, Rockyford, Carseland, Beisker, Standard. All the residents of these communities, they shop in Strathmore, what are we doing in the City of Calgary? I have no idea, I am rmly against this, I will not even participate in it, I stay out of Calgary during the Calgary Stampede. Blokland did further state, though, that he would volunteer to attend any and all local parades. Mayor Michael Ell wondered what benet there is to having already spent the money, but then have the oat tucked away in the public works garage. He does know there will be some additional costs, like changing the logo, but thinks the benets could outweigh the costs. Regarding awareness, if our oat is in the Calgary Stampede and it is viewed around the world were not going to measure if that person in Europe decided to move to Strathmore, were not going to be able to measure that, said Ell. You cannot measure how effective Coca Cola is regards to their coke machine in the Family Centre or wherever it may be, but Coca Cola still puts their machine there with their logo on it, because there is a benet. Ell is not so sure that council has to be on the oat and suggested that maybe the Youth Club of Strathmore would be willing to volunteer and support the town at some of the parades. Councillor Denise Peterson also brought up a suggestion that maybe the Strathmore and District Agricultural Society may be interested in partnering with the town, and may be willing to help with a Running With the Bulls themed oat. A motion was made to further investigate the Calgary Stampede and other parades, looking at future collaborations and bring costs forward on participating in the events.

One School, One Book at Brentwood

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter In January students, staff and parents at Brentwood Elementary School took on an interesting challenge. Everyone read the same book in the same timeframe. One School, One Book is a program that creates a shared reading experience in elementary schools. When teacher Wendy Hatton heard about it at the teachers convention in 2012, she was excited about the idea and brought school librarian Tami Lemoine on board. After a few months of reading approximately a dozen books to nd the right t for the school the women settled on Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. It was a small enough book that we could manage it, we could get through it within the time line, we wanted to do it in a month, and it was universal, it wasnt really American, said Lemoine. It didnt have a lot of politics, it didnt have a lot of things in it that could create conict for families. It was just a really simple, good, funny read. The Cheadle Lions also showed their support of the program, purchasing 250 copies of the book for the Brentwood school families. On Jan. 13 an assembly was held to tell the students about the initiative. At the assembly a couple of the teachers acted out a skit from the book, and that night everyone in the school began reading. Everyone had to read a chapter or two every night at home. This was a home-based project and the idea is to get families connected again through literature and it created a whole community in our school, our little kids were reading with the big kids, said Lemoine. There were daily trivia questions, and every class would enter the daily draw where a name would be picked and a prizewinner would be announced. Twice a week there was also catch up time at the library during lunch so that any students not getting their reading done at home would be able to do it at the school. Lemoine said some really great ideas came out of the One School, One Book initiative, and great discussions about community and what it is like to not have friends, or how to be friends. The fundraising portion of the initiative also helped out the Oops-A-Dazy Pet Rescue and Sanctuary Society. One of the components that really struck us, that we were happy about was that (the initiative) had a give back section. It was a story about a dog but it was also about how the dog helps the family and how the family helps each other, said Lemoine. So we had a Dimes for Dogs program and kids could just bring in their spare change. They dont want to stop, theyre still bringing in money. Jodie Humen is a teacher at Brentwood and a parent. Her family loved the initiative. We loved it in my house, my son is actually asking what were doing next year, said Humen. We read to them every night but this gave us just something new to read. It does give parents who dont generally read to their kids a way in, and maybe then theyll start doing this more often. Siblings Joey, Justin, William Ezekiel and their sister Shailynn LeClair-Hobbs were very involved in the program, answering questions every day on the book. I think its cool to have everybody in our school doing the same project. Kindergartners or Grade 1s have the same chances of reading the book as a Grade 6, said Shailynn. It was still fun because we got to read the same book. It was a really good book, said Justin. They read it as a family, making sure to read the same chapter as each other so they could talk about it later. The kids made it work even if they werent all together at their dads house or moms house that night. Once the school had completed the book, there was another assembly where everyone got to watch the movie together. It was a nice way to end the program. The book has not been decided upon for next year, but it sounds like most of the school is on board with bringing the initiative back.

To build green or not build green

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor Wheatland County council voted not to proceed with a solar energy plan for the expansion of the administrative ofce that on completion would cost $230,000. When installed it would have made returns on that investment in about 20 years. In 2012, there was a request from council that we look at a couple options on alternative energy supply, said Chief Administrative Ofcer (CAO) Alan Parkin. We can indicate it in the plans now, or move it forward for the future, but right now we dont feel it is needed. Parkin said staff may be able to apply for grants that would cover more of the costs. Reeve Glenn Koester suggested if they waited for grant approval, it may never get purchased. Councillor Alice Booth agreed and suggested the grants be applied for now because completed projects sometimes dont qualify for grants. When we are looking at alternative energy, we need to be leaders in this. I think the addition is a good opportunity to do this, said Councillor Ben Armstrong. It is the way of the future. They also voted down, excluding Councillor Rex Harwood, a request for decision on the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Silver project study. One concern was that it was not something that could be added at a later date. The total project would cost $148,200, with the study costing $33,400 and certication registration at $4,800. Only $16,700 could be recouped through grants. The project payoff was estimated at 12 years. We are not recommending this due to the estimated payback rate. It is a fairly small component of the project we are doing, said Parkin, but qualied the decision was up to council. Council discussed the idea and the point that a third of the money was just for the study and certication. I dont think we should be spending $148,000 on this. The other part of the building isnt up to standard and might disqualify us. We can use this money in other areas. I feel our contractors should be doing this anyway, said Booth. Parkin said the contractors could build using LEED guidelines; however, practically they tend to use the cheapest products available. There were also questions about maintenance. Specic products would have to be used on an ongoing basis to retain certication. The LEED certication process for design teams is made up of two consecutive applications: one including design credits, and one including construction credits. All of the LEED credits in each rating system are assigned to either the design application or the construction application. The design credits include those of the architect and the engineer, and are documented in the ofcial construction drawings. The construction credits include those that are predominantly implemented by the contractor, and are documented during the construction and commissioning of the building. A fee is required to register the building, and to submit the design and construction applications. Total fees are assessed based on building area. LEED certied buildings are intended to use resources more efciently, when compared to conventional buildings simply built to code. However, analysis of energy and water use data from a New York City study shows that LEED certication does not necessarily make a building more energy or water efcient.

Lead role in Jacks Giant Adventure only 12

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER Times Contributor Donovan Snider, 12, plays Jack in Rosebud Presents musical Jacks Giant Adventure, March 4 to 8, 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Rosebuds Opera House Stage. The Tuesday to Friday shows are designed for school audiences, and the Saturday performances are open to the public. Its my rst major lead role like this. Its really fun, Snider says. Its a very, very exciting learning experience. Sniders parents, David Snider and Jeany Van Meltebeke often perform on the Rosebud Opera House stage, but their son had to earn this role himself. I went and auditioned and sang a little part of a song, young Snider says. They had me read (an excerpt) of the script and they coached me a little bit then I got the email a couple days later that they were interested in exploring the possibility of me playing Jack. Hes missing two weeks of Grade 7 classes for rehearsals and performances (and keeping up on homework in between), but this is no vacation. The work hours, theyre pretty long, he says, but I feel kind of like Im toughening myself up to be able to withstand all that they throw at me. Hes learning obvious things like acting, singing, and voice projection, as well as less obvious lessons in character and work ethic. Im learning that I always need to be diligent, like to be at rehearsals a little bit early, Snider says. Im learning how to receive direction in a way that I havent really known before. Mind you, not all the learning is hard work. Theres some stunt stuff that we have to do, and thats pretty exciting, he says. Sniders favourite parts of the play, based on Jack and the Beanstalk, are those involving the giant and his wife. After I get up the beanstalk, its kind of like cloudland, he says. Were in this giant house where the giant and his wife live. The giant and his wife are arguing all the time. I come in and try to take back everything that was stolen from me and my mom. Then theres this big ght scene. Byron Linsey plays the giant. Hes got this really deep rich voice that he molds into this thing, Snider says. Its like youre terried of him. But hes got these hilarious lines and its ridiculous. Leah Hearne is the giants wife. Lauren de Graaf plays Jacks mom, Andrew Legg plays the Balladeer, and Jillian Schock is Muriel the cow. Snider has performed with the Rosebud Younger Company and in the Canadian Badlands Passion Play. Hes also worked in his familys voice-over studio for four years, recording his voice for video games, audio-books and an online childrens magazine called Click. He also played Wally Webb in Rosebuds Our Town in 2013. But this is his rst lead role on Rosebuds main stage. Im just really glad, he says, that Im able to learn all these things and work with these great people.

SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor You often see large buildings pushing their way down the highway, anked by pacer trucks, with workers scurrying around corners setting trafc lights to the side. Before these wide or overweight loads hit the road, they have to obtain a series of permits. One comes from the province if they are taking highway routes, but if the journey travels on county roads across various municipal lines, the companies must apply to each municipality separately, causing delays and confusion from one county line to another. The provinces new Travis multi-jurisdiction permit program hopes to make the process easier. My department, in partnership with industry and municipal governments, has developed a multi-jurisdiction permit, for over-size and over-weight vehicles. As previously advised, the new system is intended to be a more efcient permitting system that will enhance our services to industry by providing a one stop permit program, said Minister of Transportation Wayne Drysdale. The province set up an automated service that condenses the process to one permit-one fee (based on a formula that calculates km travelled through multiple municipalities and road type). The webbased system checks the plotted course and identies axle weights, road specs and road bans, bridges, obstacles, clearance, road widths, inspection stations and any other specic data that may affect the movement of the product to its destination. Municipalities have the option of agreeing to buyin and provide data into the system, and in return access its information to monitor trafc of over-weight/overdimension vehicles on their roadways. We are already a member of Travis, so it is easily accommodated, said Wheatland County Transportation and Infrastructure manager Dave Churchill. The program promoters indicate it helps industry by making application easier, allowing 24/7 access, giving immediate feedback on restricted access across multiple municipalities, access to trained consultants, reduced phone calls and mix ups. It allows municipalities to use the database for planning and roadway management, as well as offsetting some of the permit issue costs. The fee rate is set so no additional costs would be incurred by municipalities for participation. The system is geared to go online April 1, 2014. FEDERAL INfRASTRUCTURE MONEY PROMISED There are $14 billion dollars in infrastructure money coming down the pipes from federal coffers, to municipalities across Canada. For complete details see: www.fcm. ca/home/issues/infrastructure/highlights-of-the-newbuilding-canada-plan.htm It is promised over a 10year period and divided in three components of: $4 billion national infrastructure, $9 billion for provincial and territorial infrastructure, and $1 billion for municipalities. Applications will be accepted by grants and decisions will be made on a priority basis with an evaluation criterion that is yet to be announced. This may compensate a little for the shortages that were felt when the provincial government cut funds from municipal infrastructure funding, but Claude Dauphin, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, said he has some reservations about the plan. Municipalities own a signicant majority of public infrastructure and for a fund that will span the next decade, we must be sure that that it is used accordingly. This is the only way to ensure that local governments can address infrastructure challenges in their communities. We are also concerned by rule changes that could force municipalities to carry a larger share of infrastructure costs in the future, the eligibility rules for local roads, the screening process for projects structured as public/private partnerships, said Dauphin. The money will be distributed through the New Building Canada Fund and will cover bridges, sewers, transit and other urban facilities. Spread over a nation with about 2,225 towns and cities, not counting a myriad of rural municipalities, a $1 billion outpour can quickly become a trickle. Based on just the 2,225, it averages out to about $450,000 for one application, which may cover the cost of approximately one water treatment project. This comes at the same time counties all over the province are petitioning the Alberta Government to step up to the plate and reinstate provincial funding for bridge and culvert repair and maintenance. They have banded together and initiated a letter-writing campaign, encouraging municipal councils to address the issue with the provincial government. Wheatland council has agreed to join with others and send a letter to the province. It would be nice if they had block funding that they gave to each municipality, and let them make the decision where it would be used, said Transportation and Infrastructure Manager Dave Churchill.

Brentwood school still loves choir

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter Each year students from the Brentwood Choir take part in the Alberta Choral Federations Alberta Childrens Choir (ACC) annual performance. Normally the students make their way up to Edmonton for the show, but this year, thanks to continually growing interest, the ACC has now split into Northern and Southern divisions. The Southern Alberta Childrens Choir (SACC) was held in Calgary Feb. 7 to 9. Thirteen students from Brentwood School, and two from Crowther Memorial Junior High, participated in this years event. We asked each of the students the same two questions, the rst being what was your favourite part about being involved with the SACC? Performing and singing, having fun and enjoying the songs, said Tristan Payne. My favourite part was I made a lot of friends that I feel I could be myself around them, said Sarabeth Hillis. The learning and the singing and the music. I also really liked our conductor, she was so much fun, and she transformed (us) and I could really see the difference in our sound, said Kaytlyn Thompson. Our conductor, she was funny. Also some of the songs were really fun, said Josh Kennedy. Being able to share music with others, Rebecca Hillis. I liked the songs we sang and meeting new people, Kiara Puttick. Having fun with my friends and singing fun songs, Laura Saden. I got to let people be happy and enjoy the gift of living, love and laughter, Megan Mertz. A bunch of things, but mostly the music. I really, really like the songs. My favourite song was Leisure, said Darah Clarke. I like to meet all the other kids, and I loved to sing the hard songs, said Makayla Cody. I love practicing the songs with my mom. I also liked singing all day long, it was amazing, said Kenna Drydale Madeline Hvingelbys favourite parts were the songs and the music. The second question the students were asked is why they like choir. I like choir because I like to go to Drumheller or Edmonton to sing against other choirs, said Cody. I could sing all I wanted and not be judged, said Sarabeth Hillis. I love choir because it gives you a chance to hear new voices and make new friends. I also love it because of the music and the singing, I just absolutely love to sing, said Thompson. I love any type of music from jazz and pop and country et cetera. Music is everything to me, if there was no music life would be boring. I like choir because it soothes the mind and is very relaxing and entertaining for the audience, said Mertz. Because you feel the songs when singing. You feel songs, emotions and its fun to sing, said Payne. I like going to choir because it is a choice. I like learning new songs, I love performing at festivals and concerts, said Drydale. The rest of the students all agreed that a love for singing, learning new songs and making new friends is why they all like choir.

Organic farming conference comes to Strathmore

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter There are many benets to farming organic, but it can also be tough to get started and to keep up on current trends. Thats why there are organic conferences being held across the province in the next couple of weeks. Strathmore will be the host of its own Organic Alberta Positioning Yourself in 2014: Best Practices for the Future of Organics conference on March 3 at the Civic Centre. The day will begin at 9 a.m. with a workshop on soil fertility management. There will also be discussion on GMOs, an export market update and grain buyers panel, retailers and organics in Alberta workshop, the Organic Alberta AGM, industry updates and more. This is our annual conference; weve taken what weve learned from past conferences, and are hoping this year will exceed our past successes. And thats the theme for this year, said Becky Lipton, executive director of Organic Alberta in a press release. With a diversity of attendees from across the province, Organic Albertas annual regional conferences are the premiere event for the local organic industry. Anyone wishing to participate must preregister for the event and can do so by contacting Marianne Stewart of Organic Alberta by phone at 1-855-5212400 or email marianne.stewart@organicalberta.org.

Pass the Salt

STRIVING FOR GOLD I write this one day after the Canadian Mens hockey team just about lost to Latvia. They didnt, but the 2-1 win was too close for comfort! After this I heard some sports commentators questioning whether the hockey players were more excited about the Stanley Cup or Olympic Gold. I thought it was an interesting discussion, though Im not sure I know the answer. But it made me think, what do I value most? Not about Olympic Gold or the Stanley Cup as neither one of them is in my future in any way, but what are the things I value most? Do I value my family more than my job? Do I value personal time more than friends? Do I value money more than people? Do I value the appreciation of people more than a job done right? Do I value my time in front of the TV more than time in Gods Word? There are many good and important things in life. We need to survive. We need to provide for our family. We need to make sure we are ready for the future. We need to make sure our family knows they are loved and cared for. There are holidays to take and recreation to pursue. But in the end, what is your Olympic Gold? What is the most important thing in your life? We have this really interesting story in the Bible, in Genesis 22, where God asks Abraham to sacrice his son Isaac. There are a number of things that are really weird. First of all, human sacrice just didnt t with who God was. Secondly, Isaac was a son born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age. He was a son promised by God! And now God wanted him killed? That didnt make sense. Abraham heads out to the place of sacrice with Isaac, who has no clue as to what is about to happen. Along the way, Abraham says, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering. I dont know if he thought God would change his mind, but Abraham proceeded to the place of sacrice. He was at the point of raising his knife in his hand to kill his son when God intervened and stopped him and showed him a ram caught by his horns in a nearby bush. Abraham sacriced the ram instead. But Abraham valued his relationship with God above all else. That was his Gold Medal. He was willing to kill his promised son if that is what God asked of him. What are you striving for? What is your Gold Medal? Pastor Andy Wiebe Bow River Alliance Church
Braves bound over Airdrie

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The peewee Wheatland Braves have moved onto their next playoff series, having beat the Airdrie Lightning in their best of three rst round. Having lost Game 1 in overtime on Feb. 22, the Braves powered back, winning two straight on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24. I thought we showed pretty much who we still are an inconsistent bunch with a high level of potential, Braves coach Keith Klemmensen said. In Game 1, a very back-and-forth matchup, the Braves had the lead taken away with ve minutes remaining in the game, only to allow one more in overtime, losing 5-4. Hassan Akl had two assists, as did Cole Berg; Tarun Fizer had one goal and one assist. Airdrie has a team that does not quit so you have to play the whole game. I felt like game one, we let them back in the third period, Klemmensen said. We were kind of in control on things, but all of a sudden the effort falls off a bit and we get a little mentally lazy. Klemmensen said he felt the immaturity of his team at the end of game one, but was impressed with his squad for game two. As critical as I am of the boys and their effort, I thought we were the better team for two periods there, he said. Though it was another back-and-forth game in terms of scoring, Wheatland red 44 shots on net, as opposed to Airdries 24. The Braves had two powerplay goals from Ryan Orford and Akl (who popped in another as well). Cole Berg also nished with two points. The nal was 4-2 for the Braves. In the deciding third game, with the Braves up 2-0 in the second period, Airdrie scored two goals within one minute of each other. Before the period was done, the lead was safely back to the Braves. I didnt think wed get it back as quickly as we did, Klemmensen said. Majid Kaddoura had three assists, while Mitch Desserre had two. Ryan Conroy scored twice, and Cole Berg had two points too, in the 6-3 win. Klemmensen believes his team does best when his defense core plays to the best of their efforts. I continue to be impressed with our defense. I think our six defensemen as a group are as good
as weve had for a while, he said. Im hoping they realize their importance to the team. Im impressed with the whole team but those guys are really the straw that stirs the drink on this team. The Braves will move on to face the number one seed, the Bow Valley Timberwolves. In both of their matchups in season play, the Timberwolves were victorious; 4-0 on Oct. 25, and 9-5 on Nov. 30. No games have been scheduled as of yet. They pumped us the second time, theres no doubt about that. Theyve got too many goals against us, Klemmensen said. The 4-0 game, we didnt play that bad. Just a couple errors, some fundamental mistakes we couldve been tied 0-0 going into the third period that game. The Braves got a closer look at the Timberwolves, having played them twice in provincial play. Klemmensen noted they only lost by two goals in both games. I think were kind of closing the gap on them. Having said that, they nished rst in this division for a reason. Theyre a good team theyve got good players, theyre well coached, and they work hard. Thats what we have to match, he said. WARRIORS wAIT The bantam Wheatland Warriors are waiting to see who they will face - Airdrie or Red Deer - in the second round of the playoffs after receiving a bye in the rst round. CHIEFS DONE As for the midget Wheatland Chiefs, after winning the rst game of their series against the Red Deer Elks, they dropped the next two, losing the series. The Chiefs won 7-4 at home for Game 1 on Feb. 20, with three powerplay goals by Cole Busslinger, Quinton Peplinski and Thomas Reinhardt. Game 2 on Feb. 22 was a 7-3 loss, however, even with a 42 shot effort. The Chiefs only managed to score come the third period, and at one point in the game, it was 5-0 for Red Deer. Jayse Wilson had two goals, and Cody Willis notched the other. The nal game on Feb. 23 was a 5-2 loss for the Chiefs. Wheatland had the lead going into the second with goals from Mckay Bray and Busslinger, but a shorthanded goal at the beginning of the second period sparked a ve-goal comeback for Red Deer.

Cheer team takes 2nd!

Strathmore Matrix Cheerleading attended their first competition of the season in Red Deer this past weekend, Feb. 22. The team had a great performance. They were awarded second place and were less than a point away from the first place team. This is a great accomplishment for the team since compared to other big clubs they have limited gym time and resources. The team will attend their next competition on March 9 in Edmonton. The team trains out of Jumphouse Gymnastics and is coached by Cassi Weiss (head coach) and Chelsea Dyck.

Budzey to provincials
ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter Strathmores 16-year-old Ben Budzey will be heading to curling provincials with his junior mens squad, his second time reaching this level. From Feb. 28-Mar. 2, six teams will compete in High River at the Highwood Curling Club. This is a whole new team now, Budzey said of his teammates, two from Lethbridge and one from Nanton. These guys have never made it to provincials before so theyre all pretty excited. Budzey qualied in 2012 at the age of 14, but tied for second. Hes been competitively curling for six years. My parents both curled. So they tried to get me into it when I was quite young, he said. Budzeys team will be one of two teams coming from the south; two others will come from the north, and two will come from the Peace region. For the past ve years, each provincial champion has come from the south region; Budzey, who is lead for his team, has been training hard in preparation. Ever since we qualied for provincials, weve tried to make it out ve days a week even if its just for an hour, he said. First place at provincials earns a spot at the international nal in Langley, B.C. come April. Not all the international teams are there, but I think Korea and Japan have been there before, Budzey said. All teams at this level are pretty committed and dedicated. Theyre all really good curlers. They know their stuff. Budzey says curling is more of a mental game; having been to provincials before, he hopes he can provide some experience. You have to stay focused throughout the whole game of eight ends. If you miss your shot, you have to stay focused and make your next one, he said. When youre losing or one of your teammates makes a bad shot, you have to keep the morale.
The Bisons defeated the Calgary Flames on Feb. 22 by a score of 6-2, to move onto the next round of the playoffs. They begin their next series against the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs on Feb. 26.

Bisons defeat Flames, face Chiefs

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The UFA Bisons rolled through their rst playoffs challenge against the Calgary Flames, winning the best of three series in two straight. During those two games, the Bisons scored 14 goals, and only allowed three. Were trying to step it up for the playoffs here, and score more goals, Bisons coach Dan MacDonald said. We did the things were looking to do. At home on Feb. 19, the Bisons were victorious by a score of 8-1; Mackenzie Bauer had two goals and two assists, while Tristan Thompson also had four points. With the Flames taking 17 penalties, the Bisons capitalized with four powerplay markers. In the playoffs, your powerplay has to work, MacDonald said. Those are our powerplay guys Mason McCarty, Matt Forchuk, Tristan Thompson, Mackenzie Bauer and Connor Boyd. They play the most powerplay time. Were really counting on them to be effective. The Bisons again used the powerplay to their advantage on Feb. 22, in their 6-2 win for the end to the series Bauer and Thompson had two goals each. Ryan Zeniuk also contributed with one goal and two assists. Weve been working hard at being better on the powerplay. It seemed to work really well against those guys, MacDonald said. When we skate like we do, they take more penalties against you to slow you down. We have to look to our powerplay to make a difference. Next up for the semi-nals are the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs Dan MacDonalds former team. The Bisons suffered against Red Deer this season, losing 4-2 on Oct. 12, and 6-5 on Jan. 19. You want to beat them even more, MacDonald said about facing his old squad. Theyre a good team. I dont know if were nervous but we feel condent that we can play with them. Its just a matter of, when we do get a lead, to keep it. The (Chiefs) get better when the going gets tougher. The Chiefs had a bye to the second round, and have yet to see playoff action. They nished rst place in the Chrysler Division with a 22-7-6 record, as opposed to the Bisons 21-11-3. We have to play the way we play best. We have to move the puck and move our feet. Were a fast-skating team, and we have to come at them real fast. We cant lay back, we have to go after them thats what our plan is, MacDonald said. Game 1 of the best-of-ve series began in Red Deer on Feb. 26 (result not available as of press time). Game 2 is back at the Strathmore Family Centre on Feb. 28 (8 p.m.), while Game 3 is in Red Deer on March 2 (3 p.m.) Games 4&5, if necessary, will take place on March 4 (7:30 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre and March 7 (8 p.m.) in Red Deer.

Golden at Zones
ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter Its been 14 years since the Strathmore High School (SHS) Spartans boys curling team won Zones, but from Feb. 14-15 in Drumheller, SHS ended the dry spell. Skip Jason Wilson, second Jesse Luehr, third Scott Thurston and lead Aidan Anderson defeated the defending champion Morrin High School Mustangs in the gold medal game, 8-2. Im amazingly proud. I havent wiped the smile off my face since Saturday, said coach Michelle Ledene. We didnt give up the lead at all in that game. We dominated that game. It was pretty awesome to see these boys maintain their calm, their cool, their composure. They didnt get too up or cocky, and they didnt get down or fold. They were awesome, just stayed really steady and played a really good game. SHS had lost 6-2 to the Morrin Mustangs in their rst roundrobin game of the tournament, though the score was tied 2-2 up until the fourth end. Morrin also had three returning players from last years gold team. We had to kind of say to them, you know what, the rst game was good to lose, because maybe Morrin felt that they were just going to win, Ledene said. To see them again for the gold medal, one of the things we said was, were the underdogs. We have nothing to lose here. I think that helped with their attitude. The ice in Drumheller, Ledene said, was a challenge as well for all teams. To the left of centre line, the ice fell. Our skip, Jason, really picked up on that quickly. He was excellent to use that to our advantage. If we could get some rocks over there, then the other team would waste shots trying to take those out, Ledene said. Thats ice that even some veteran skips with adult leagues would have a hard time with. The Spartans also defeated Youngstown and Cochrane in the tournament a feat in itself for a team that did not have any seniors. Theyre all experienced curlers even though theyre Grade 10 and 11, Ledene said. Weve had a lot of good curlers come through the high school, said co-coach Brad Steele. The fact that theyre Grade 11 and Grade 10, itll be good for next year. Steele was the coach of the last boys team to win zones back in 2000. SHS has qualied for zones every year but have had trouble capturing the banner. All these boys have been products of the awesome program out of the Strathmore District Curling Club. A lot of them have been curling for a long time, Ledene said. Theyve practiced together in the past.
The Strathmore High School boys curling team captured gold at Zones in Drumheller from Feb. 14-15, the teams first banner since 2000. Next up is Provincials in Leduc from Mar. 7-8. Pictured are Grade 10 lead Aidan Anderson (l-r), Grade 11 skip Jason Wilson, Grade 10 second Jesse Luehr, and Grade 10 third Scott Thurston. The U12 Strathmore Spurs squad went undefeated in the Calgary Minor Soccer Indoor Family Day Tournament from Feb. 14-17. They played five games, including the final, which they won 5-1 against the CNEU Raiders. The U12s finished the weekend with 25 goals for and only 13 against. Photo courtesy of Mark Shorhen

Spurs medal twice

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The Strathmore Spurs sent three teams to the Calgary Minor Soccer Indoor Family Day Tournament from Feb. 14-17. The Strathmore U10 boys failed to medal; however, the U16 girls earned silver, and the U12 boys went undefeated including the gold medal game. Were pretty good. Theyre about 50/50 in the league, the U12s are halfway up their division right now, coach Mark Shorhen said, who also coaches the U10 team. My theory is theyll probably end up taking the gold medal just because the teams they beat for the gold in the tournament are at the top of the league right now. Theyre not going to be too happy when we take the league away from them too. The indoor season is winding up for Shorhen and the Spurs; his U12 team also has four girls, and three underage players. The U12 team, we dominated, he said. The U10s played really well. Theyre very young so theyre all learning. I think they learned a lot because they played older teams and bigger teams. The U12 Spurs defeated the CNEU Raiders 8-4, the PSA Rovers 5-4, and the Deerfoot Eagles 7-4 in the tournament. In the nal, they defeated the Raiders once more, by a score of 5-1. They nished the weekend with 25 goals for, and only 13 against. The U10 boys lost their rst two games (2-1 against the EMFC Assault, and 1-0 against the Deerfoot Eagles), but tied their last game with the Chestermere Inceptors, 2-2. The girls U16 squad started strong with a 4-3 win over CWSC Valencia, and a 3-1 victory over the EMFC Breakers. From there, they tied the MSB Predators 1-1, and lost in the nal to the Breakers 2-1.
Its just the rst time that weve ended up putting them together on a team. The Spartans have qualied for provincials with placing rst at zones. Until then, repetition in practice is key. Well continue to practice as a team. Well just continue working on our deliveries, and our communication to make sure our sweeping calls are all good, Steele said. Steele mentioned he was glad there were no conicting schedules with the Southern Alberta Curling Association, which most of his players are involved with. These players were able to compete in other levels but still compete in high school, Steele said. Some years, youre going to have the players but because of the way their club training goes, they cant compete. SHS will travel to Leduc for provincials from Mar. 7-8.
Polet to Coquitlam
ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter Strathmores 17-year-old Breanna Polet and her Pre-Novice Black Gold Synchronized skating team are heading to Coquitlam, B.C. from Feb. 28-Mar. 2 for the West Coast Challenge, an invitational for B.C. and Alberta teams. Polet and her 12 teammates are ranked second in the Mountain Regional Division. You have to be a team, you cant just skate by yourself, Polet said. You cant think of it as individual, you have to think of it as skating with a whole bunch of other girls. The Black Gold team traveled to Lethbridge for Western Mountain Regionals from Jan. 31-Feb. 2, and won second place. Prior to that, they had a similar nish at the Rose Bowl in Calgary from Jan. 11-12. Polet is hoping for rst, however, in Coquitlam. Theres lots of knee-bending and unison, thats what we work on all the time, she said. If you have the same skills, and you work on the elements together, then it makes it easier to do. Polet went to British Columbia for Western Finals last season as well, and has been competing in synchro for almost 12 years. Anyone can really join synchro, they just have to teach you slowly how to do it right, said the Strathmore High School student. I like being on the team, I enjoy it. Ill continue with synchro for a long time; they have adult synchro teams too. Polet and the Pre-Novice Black Gold team will travel to Edmonton following the West Coast Challenge for another invitational on Mar. 9.

Raiders conquer Gold twice

ARYSSaH STaNKEVITSCH Times Reporter The Rockyview Raiders have been making a strong push for the playoffs over February, and added to it by defeating second place CRAA Gold on Feb. 21 by a score of 5-1, and again on Feb. 23, 4-3. Weve been getting solid play out of almost everybody. Our special teams that really hurt us in the rst half of the season has been a difference here in the last half, said Raiders coach Doug Thurston. Weve been getting wins because our powerplay has been working and our penalty kill has been good. Its pretty satisfying. In the rst matchup with CRAA, Siksikas Trygve Many Guns found the back of the net on the powerplay. Strathmores Markus Lavallee scored one and had a helper too; Strathmores Liam Rycroft also had one assist. In the 4-3 victory, Strathmores Alec Biletsky had one goal assisted by fellow Strathmore native Chris Rebeyka. Many Guns added a marker, and two assists, while Strathmores Kody Hammond also had two helpers. With three seconds remaining and on the powerplay Lavallee scored for the win. We have probably about six guys that are offensively capable. Everybodys chipped in, everybodys got a goal on our team now some timely goals too, Thurston said. Guys that hadnt even been scoring earlier have scored at the right time. Many Guns leads the team in scoring with 40 points (24 goals, 16 assists), followed closely behind by Lavallee with 30. Its been a complete team effort, though Trygve has lead offensively, but he gets a little more powerplay time, Thurston said. The Raiders have only lost once in the month of February, and now stand eighth with a 14-18-3 record; only the top eight teams make the playoffs for the Sutter Cup. Rockyviews last two season games CRAA Blue on Mar. 1, and the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Mar. 2 will decide their nal standings. We put a tremendous month here together, Thurston said. Were within reach now and we have control of our own destiny. We dont have to hope for anyone to do us a favour. If we win our games, well be in. We just beat the second place team twice in a row, so thats a huge condence boost for the guys. Thurston has been encouraging the boys to nd their strengths, and then play to them for an advantage. Right now, hes only worried about these last two wins. Why we couldnt nd those buttons in the rst part of the season, were not sure, but it is what it is, he said. I dont think any team wants to step up and play us right now because were playing really solid hockey.
Anne Klaiber, incredible woman, cherished wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at The Beverly Centre Lake Midnapore on the afternoon of Saturday, February 22, 2014. Anne is lovingly remembered for her gracious and gentle manner and the generous hospitality that she always provided to friends and family. The inner strength exhibited by a lifetime of support to her husband Archie, and the resolve and humor that she drew on during several years of difcult health struggles, have been an inspiration to her family and others. Born in Norton, Alberta, Anne, as a young woman, could be found driving a team of six horses, working hard on her parents farm or dancing til dawn at rural community dances. Anne married Archie Klaiber in 1943 and ranched in Little Plume, Alberta before relocating to Strathmore in 1947 after purchasing the CPR Farm located on the outskirts of town. An active member of the Strathmore community, Anne served as a member and ofcer of the Eastern Star, a member of the Strathmore UCW Association, a member of the Lioness Club of Strathmore and was a founding member of and trumpet player for the Strathmore Community Band. Anne was a woman of faith and was a member of the United and Alliance Churches of Strathmore for many years. She was also a member of a birthday group of local women who celebrated each others birthdays, as friends, for over fty consecutive years. Anne was a wonderful mix of warmth and strength, love and generosity. Annes cooking was legendary and she welcomed every person, be they stranger or friend, into her home with an open heart, good food and lively conversation. Her hugs were the warmest of hugs that made everything seem right in the world and she was always happiest when surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her loving husband Archie, her brother Elmore, and her great-grandson Quinlan, Anne is survived by three sons, Bruce (Isabelle), Grant (Dona), and Dean (Nancy). She also leaves behind her greatest legacy, her grandchildren, Andrea (Dennis), Brad (Jennifer), Elizabeth, Candice (Scott), Jeff (Eniko), Kristy, Francis (Carrie) and Katy; and her great-grandchildren, Cooper, Tucker, Brock, Brady, Clara, Mary, Kobrin, Ariel, Kiana and Kora. We wish to express our deep gratitude to Cathy Bosiak and Cathy Liddle who loved Anne like family, preserving her health and dignity over the past six years. In addition, we thank the caring and supportive staff at the Wheatland Lodge (Strathmore), Mayfair Centre, and the Beverly Centre Lake Midnapore (Calgary). We welcome all to join us in a memorial celebration of the life of this exceptional woman at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, March 1, 2014 at the Strathmore United Church (410 4 St, Strathmore, Alberta). In lieu of owers, memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice. To send condolences, please visit Annes obituary www. wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.

FREE MARKET EVALUATIONS
DID YOU KNOW?

If you want to sell your house in a short amount of time and with minimum hassle, paint is relatively simple to apply or change, but the wrong colour inside or out can turn a buyer off from the entire house. To prevent this, many real estate professionals recommend painting your home in neutral colours which can play a role in being less distracting and allowing potential buyers to imagine their own styles, ideas and preferences. Bold, bright designs look great on those home improvement shows, however, the reality is that people are finicky. Over-the-top daring designs are great when you are planning to stay in your home and have no desire to sell it. When the time comes to sell your home, decorate with neutral tones so that potential buyers are not turned off by the dcor before they actually see the home. Buyers need to be able to envision their own perfect, daring design rather than focusing on yours. An inexpensive and fun way to add a pop of colour is to purchase some new toss cushions for your couch and loveseat. Neutral doesnt have to be boring!
