MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Cara Burne is the new board president of the Strathmore
and District Agricultural Society (SDAS). Burne took on the
role following the annual general meeting (AGM) last week
that saw one new face join the board.
The Dec. 12 meeting resulted in some shuffling of the
board, with seasoned board members returning to take up
previous positions and others taking on greater roles.
Former president Dennis McNeill stepped down from his
role after two years to make room for Burne who had served
as vice-president. Steve Farran was named new vice-presi-
dent.
McNeill was re-elected to the board alongside incumbents
Brenda Knight, Steve Farran and Lorne Lausen – who also
serves as liaison to the new rodeo committee.
“We’ve had some changes in the last couple years, so
there’s been lots of meetings and lots of ideas at the table,”
said McNeill. “We’ve had some issues with expenses and the
economy, so it’s been a couple trying years. I think (Burne)
has great commitment and takes a real interest. It’s been a
busy year for us with the changes to the committee, and
so I think it’s been a challenging year, and she’s definitely
stepped up to the plate.”
During the AGM, Sheila Crispin returned as secretary trea-
surer, while rounding out the board of directors are Lois
Wegener, Carolyn Johnson, Don Geiger, Shelley Ingram and
Brad Walls. A new face on the board is Stephane Leblanc, a
Quebec native who owns a local farm.
The board of directors is made up of 12 members for the
2017-2018 year, as described in the province’s Agricultural
Societies Act. This year more than 100 members attended the
meeting. New Agents. Contact Broker Bob Sheddy

the AGM,” said Burne.
“It is in part a reflection of the importance of the society
in the community, and of our collaboration with many, many

partners – and of the members taking an interest in the af- Broker

fairs of the society.
“I was vice-president for the last two years and helped to bob.sheddy@century21.ca
ensure the continuity of the organization, that’s sort of how it
works. The vice-president steps up, they usually work closely Strathmore

going on.”
This past year, the organization had the highest gross rev-
enues in the last decade at a whopping $1.942 million – miss-

ing the mark by approximately $30,000 to the 2012 year that 403.934.3877

with everyone involved.”
The society is expecting a similar eventful year in 2018, in
bringing back fan-favourite events such as the Strathmore
Stampede and Heritage Days, and tackling other projects in-
cluding the completion of the link between the Remuda Cen-
tre and the livestock pavilion in 2018. 413 - 3rd St. Strathmore

Black carts arriving curbside in 2018

Continued from Page 1
Councillor Jason Montgomery also
questioned some of the language in the
bylaw, especially in regard to prohibited
materials. Staff clarified and corrected
the wording to state that sawdust and
powdered materials are required to be
double bagged and ashes are allowed to
be disposed in the carts. Montgomery
further discussed the possibility of dis-
posing of renovation materials – stating
the bylaw was too vague and should be
more specific about which renovation
materials. However, staff was adamant
about the intent of the service.
“If someone is filling it to the top with
reno and then putting bags beside it,
and they have bags of renovation ma-
terials and pay the $3 for bag tag, that’s
not the intent of the service,” said Mark
Ruault, director of Infrastructure and
developmental services for the Town of
Strathmore. “So we’re just trying to give
our contractor some ability to say, ‘wait
a minute, this is not domestic residen-
tial waste.’ That’s what we’re trying to
get at.”
According to staff, the bylaw reaf-
firms the town’s commitment for waste
reduction opportunities, to develop
public support for programs and poli-
cies geared to provide direction in the
development, as well as the implemen-
tation and the enforcement of the pro- 1. I’m just wondering because it looks

Strathmore Library hits big:

Larger space, larger programs
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
The Strathmore Municipal Library is
back in the newly renovated Lambert
Centre, with a larger program room,
more quiet areas and greater overall
square footage.
Newly energized library staff have
large ambitions for ringing in the new
year, and not just where the Get Your
Game On program is concerned.
Now that the library has a large pro-
gram room available, the program can
now accommodate giant Jenga, Yahtzee
and Checkers games, courtesy of the
Marigold Library System.
The new space also allows for greater
capacity, as was recently recognized
during the Friday Fun Films when 80
people were able to attend comfortably
without being squished and bothered
by heat.
“I’m just super thrilled to be finally
getting back into that momentum of
providing programs for the community
again,” said Carmen Erison, assistant di-
rector to library services at the Strath-
more Municipal Library.
“We’re bigger so let’s bring on the gi-
ant stuff. People have missed our pro-
grams. We really missed running those
kind of programs this year. Being in
that temporary location we strived to
continue our programming as much
as possible; and thanks to groups like
the Wheatland Society of Arts and the
ParentLink Centre, it allowed us to con-
tinue our weekly programming.”
In 2016, the organization provided the
community with 378 programs. With in-
terruptions to the programs caused by
the renovation at Lambert Centre, the
numbers have declined somewhat this
year. However, Erison already has plans
to add more programs alongside regu-
lar programming in 2018.
That includes the first ever Nutty New
Year Party, which is based on a round-
robin style program that has been suc-
cessful for the library in the past. The
staff is currently working on designing
their stations, which will be themed
around everything silly.
“We sure missed all of those little
giggles while we were closed, and we
want to bring back those giggles with
the nuttiest, wackiest program we can
find,” Erison added. “Now this year with
us having so much space we know we
can spread out our stations a little bit
larger and further apart. We can have
more stations so that there’s not as
many children at one station at a time,
to make it more streamlined and a more
enjoyable experience for everyone.”
Also following in the round-robin
style is the fan-favourite Library Olym-
pics, which will be brought back next
year.
And, the library is looking for more
volunteers to help out with their up-
coming programs.
The library being back in the swing
of things also silences many questions
about Minecraft Mania. The United Way
of Calgary provided the organization
with a grant to purchase laptops that
allows the library to offer Minecraft
Mania as an afterschool program in-
stead of an after-hours library program.
Having the option will resolve previous
time conflicts between the program,
Winging It or the Teen Advisory Coun-
cil. Registration dates for Minecraft Ma-
nia are expected to be announced in
January.

The renovated library space also now
features a fully equipped kitchen with With
a stove, microwave and refrigerator
that already has Erison’s mind toying
with new programming ideas.

Just over 20 Strathmore businesses
have joined together to raise aware-
ness about poverty by raising funds
and donations, and hosting a compli-
mentary Christmas feast for the com-
K.M.W HEATING AND
munity.
Strathmore’s Boston Pizza staff
AIR CONDITIONING LTD. proposed the idea for the community
Christmas initiative after seeing indi-
viduals camped out in their cars in the
parking lot and coming into the restau-
rant asking for food, and realizing an in-
crease in businesses approaching the
franchise about aiding in their fundrais-
ing efforts.
Therefore, Boston Pizza cooked up
the idea of providing a Christmas com-
munity event provided by the commu-
nity for the down and out.
In addition to hosting a buffet-style
traditional turkey dinner free of charge
on Dec. 25, numerous businesses
where people are sleeping in their cars
in my parking lot. There’s people ask-
ing, ‘hey do you have any extra food?’
and you can tell they’re not trying to
cause trouble, they’re generally looking
for something to eat. We’ve seen that
a lot.”
Eager to jump on board were many
local businesses, including Assist Busi-
ness Centre which donated signage
and advertising, H&H Huxted and
Sobeys which are providing the tur-
keys, and Rocky’s Bakery that will pre-
pare the tasty birds.
Since the idea came to fruition in
early October, the event has garnered
much attention, not just from the busi-
ness community but from Strathmore
citizens offering to help.
Richard Rodgers, director of out-
reach for SOS, said when the idea of
an overnight shelter was first intro-
duced, the project faced numerous
misconceptions about its necessity.

the other businesses on the commu-

families that are just getting back to

and they can’t afford presents for the

middle class.”
Many businesses have also collected
toys that will be given to the children
at the dinner. Although the evening is
geared towards the less fortunate, any-
body is invited to partake in the event.

Study shows greater success for children

whose parents inspire to volunteer
Miriam Ostermann
~Times Associate Editor
A recent national survey revealed that nearly 90 per cent
of Canadian parents believe in inspiring their children to vol-
unteer and give back to charities, and it’s projected they will
dig deep into their pockets and donate $5 billion this holiday
season.
The survey was conducted by Imagine Canada, which is a
national umbrella organization that represents the country’s
charities. Its findings reveal that 79 per cent of parents deem
it essential to give back during the holidays and that it serves
as a vital experience for their children and teenagers. The
online study also showed that 76 per cent said they were
committed to teaching their children about charitable giving.
Imagine Canada projected that $5 billion would be spent
ment, she also credited school programs and curriculums
that promote compassion and helping others – programs
she said were not readily available or promoted when she
was a child in school.
“We’re certainly noticing it, and I think it’s a factor of mil-
lennials; younger people are much more interested in com-

Spartans
SPORTS
show strong
in Airdrie
tourney
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

The Strathmore High School Spartans senior girls will feel

better about themselves entering the Christmas break follow-
ing their best performance in a tournament.
The Spartans returned from the three-day Bert Church
tournament with the bronze medal.
“It’s great to see a result like this early in the season,” said
Spartans Head Coach Kyle Larson. “Coming into the season
we knew we would be a young team so we knew it would
take some time to build the consistency, but we had it work-
ing this weekend.”
In the bronze medal game Dec. 16, the Spartans downed
the Bishop McNally High School Timberwolves 74-61 at Bert
Church High School in Airdrie.
A pair of seniors led the Spartans all weekend, as Allie
Davidson scored 22 and Sydney Boyd chipped in with 19 in
the finale. Boyd made good on 9-of-19 baskets and helped
out with four rebounds.
“Sydney had been sick the first weekend we played, but
she looked great this weekend. She is one of the Grade 12s
we have, and we will need them to carry us this season,” said
Larson.
Another senior, Kaylin Larson, played well against the T-
Wolves, chalking up 16 points. She also drained four triples,
which tied her with Davidson for the team lead from beyond

Mac’s schedule released featuring locally produced talent
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
There was something noticeably
different about this year’s Mac’s AAA
Midget World Invitational Hockey
Tournament press conference Dec. 13
at The Westin Calgary.
The two major media networks were
on hand, along with newspaper writ-
ers from across southern Alberta. The
two trophies glistened on display while
fans, coaches and players waited to see
the unveiling of the five divisions, but
there was one historic team not in at-
tendance.
This marked the first time in the past
25 years that the Foothills CFR Chemi-
cals Bisons were not headlining one of
the divisions.
Following Hockey Alberta’s deci-

Tyler Lowey Photo ing for the trophy.
That doesn’t mean there wasn’t any
local talent on hand for the official
kickoff for the tournament.
With the majority of Wheatland
County players now calling the Pason
Centennial Arena in Okotoks home, 12
players on the Oilers have connections
to Strathmore.
Joel Krahenbil, a local product, was
anointed the captain of the Oilers for
their inaugural season and is ready to
compete in his second Mac’s tourna-
ment.
“It’s been a goal of ours this season
to host a pool, now it’s our job to make
a run in this tournament and build
some confidence heading into the sec-
ond half of the season,” said Krahenbil.
The Oilers headline Pool 4 which
features the Greater Vancouver Canadi-
ans, Lethbridge Hurricanes, New York
Jr. Islanders and Prince Albert Mintos.
“We’ve got to prepare for everyone’s
best,” said Krahenbil. “We need to get
confidence going early, win the win-
nable games, be resilient in the tough
ones and hopefully come out on top.”
FREE
Krahenbil is one of three Bisons left
from last year’s semifinal Strathmore
team, which lost to the Saskatoon Con-
tacts 5-3 on New Year’s Eve.
“I’m glad I get the chance to be back
17123AA1 here again; I had a lot of fun in it last
year,” said Tyler Strath, who was a
ENERGY
teammate of Krahenbil’s last season. “I
want to be there for the new guys and
help them out where I can. There is
lots of skill in this tourney, so we need
to stay positive and make sure we are
playing our best each game.”

Warriors pick up win in Hussar
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
There’s nothing like an old barn to help end a
team’s winless streak.
Playing their first and only game this season at
Hussar Arena, the Wheatland Warriors hammered
the Medicine Hat Hounds 5-1 on Dec. 16.
The Warriors went a brief three games without
picking up a win as the winter break neared.
“Those three games – two losses and a tie – I
felt could have easily all went the other way,” said
Warriors Assistant Coach Cody Brown. “Coming
into this one, this was the result we expected if
we showed up with the work ethic that we know
we are capable of.”
Trailing 1-0 entering the second, the local dou-
ble-A bantam team’s offence got rolling when
Joel Romano potted his ninth of the season from
Nate Gillis. Ray Warrack also added a marker from

CHRISTMAS HANDS
Pass the Salt
As Christmas quickly approaches, it
brings with it memories of things that
have impacted our lives. One of the
things that comes to mind for me this
year, is the warm homemade mittens my
mom and granny used to make for us
every year.
Recently I read a little reflection on
mittens, and how, without a hand being
inserted into them, they simply sit there,
on the shelf, and do nothing. But when
you insert your hands into them, they are
capable of making such a difference.
Mittens can help when we need to move
something cold, or to carry something
when it is cold outside. They help us
make snowmen, or protect us from
frost, nipping at our fingertips. They help
scrape windows or hold cups of cocoa.
As I put on a pair of heavy duty warm
mittens the other day, I thought about
how because of them, I am enabled
to make such a difference in someone
else’s life, especially in this season.
Whether it is holding open a door, waving
a cheery greeting, hugging someone,
patting someone on the back for a job
well done, cooking up a treat, or wiping
a tear, wrapping a gift, hands help us to
make Christmas a brighter time for many.
Stop and look at your own hands for a
moment. See a scar; perhaps it came
from working hard, and assisting
someone else, and a blister or a cut that
resulted.
See a callous, perhaps from working
hard to accomplish something …
Think of what your hands have done
to welcome someone with a firm
handshake. Or gently lead a someone
by holding a hand as you walked. Or
perhaps even to just say, “I care” by
walking alongside.

season came at a price, and
it might have cost them a
chance at taking home the
bronze medal from their
host tournament.
After weeks of layup drills,
And think of how someone else’s hands
have comforted, or strengthened, or
supported you.
Christmas is a time of reaching out and
showing support, and compassion, and
love in so many ways. In Isaiah 41:13,
God told his people something significant
about hands being held. He said “For I,
the Lord your God, hold your right hand, it
is who say to you ‘Fear not, I am the one
that helps you.’ ”
This season holds two messages of
hope for us. First off, that if we are
feeling overwhelmed, tired, afraid, God is
holding our hand. He has a plan and He
walks with us, and He holds us tightly, so
we need not fear.
But the other message is that we have
“Christmas Hands.”
Just like the mittens only work when
our hands are inserted in them, making
a difference, in the same way, at
Christmas, things can only happen when
we put our hands in, and do things, make
a difference, so that others who may be
struggling can feel the compassion and
comfort and hope of the season as well.
May we all take time in this Christmas
week or two to put on our mittens and
make a difference, using our Christmas
Hands.
This coming weekend is Christmas. On
behalf of all the Strathmore Ministerial, I
extend a warm handshake of invitation,
that you would feel welcome to celebrate
this time of God’s favor and promise
in sending his Son to help hold and
carry us. Please check with any of the
churches, for service times, and come
and join in, sharing all our Christmas
hands in fellowship and love, this sacred
season … AMEN

defensive shuffling and run-
ning lines at practice, the
Hawks got their season un-
derway with five games last
week, culminating with a
shot at the bronze medal in
their annual hosted tourna-
ment.
But all those miles logged
earlier in the week caught
up to them, as the Three
Hills School Royals wore
them out 90-78 Dec. 16 at
the HCC gym.
“We just didn’t have the
energy to rotate well enough
in our zone defence,” said
Hawks Head Coach Josh Jal-
bert, who saw his team out-
scored 50-44 in the second
half. “It’s early and our con-
ditioning hasn’t come along
yet. We just didn’t have the
legs to keep up at the end of
the day.”
Leading the charge for
the Hawks was sophomore
guard Alex Nwoye with 37
points. Behind him was
Landon Osachuk with 18.
“Landon really got his
confidence back in that last
game,” said Jalbert. “He was
getting to open spaces on
the floor and knocking down
the shots when they came to
him. When we get that kind
of scoring from it, it makes a
huge difference.”
Despite the tired legs on
defence, the Hawks were
able to post a tourney-high
in points, dramatically im-
proving from their semifinal
loss to the Rundle Academy
Rockies 75-52.
“At half, we had only shot
29 per cent. It was a case of
they were hitting everything
and we weren’t,” said Jalbert.
“We had great ball move-
ment, but couldn’t knock
down a three or a layup.”
In the opener Dec. 15, the
Hawks blew the doors off
the Bassano School Bron-
cos 63-29. Nwoye scored 18,
Osachuk chipped in with 14

The local double-A peewee team (12-

period, broken up by Charles Goll’s
11th goal. He now leads the team with
26 points.
Garrin Gosling and Adam Moore
found the back of the net for the Braves
in the second, but couldn’t hold the
Hounds down for long, as they were
outscored 4-1 in the closing period. No-
lan Bell added his fifth of the season
from Nash Wassing and Tyler Fairbairn
at the 2:44 mark.
The Braves will hope this was an
anomaly, as they host the Hounds at
Hussar Arena Dec. 23, in what is the
Braves final game before the holiday
break. Puck drop is set for 4:45 p.m.
In the new year, the Braves will take
on the Lethbridge Hurricanes White
(12-5-1) Jan. 5 at the Adams Ice Centre.
The Braves won’t play a home game in
2018 until Jan. 20, when they host the
Chestermere Lakers (1-15-0) at Hussar
Arena.
CHIEFS BACK TO WORK
The Wheatland Chiefs were not in
action last weekend. They have a pair
of games before breaking for the holi-
days. On Dec. 20, they were at the Max
Bell Centre #2 and took on the CRAA
Gold (result not available as of press
time). They will wrap up 2017 with a
road game at the Henderson Ice Centre
in Lethbridge to take on the division-
leading Hurricanes for the final time
this regular season. The local double-A
midget team is 1-1-1 against the Hur-
ricanes this season.

Local family returns from Junior NFR
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Three local rodeo kids are back from
Sin City eager for the next rodeo sea-
son.
Jayna, Brody and Dexter Hale quali-
fied for the Junior National Finals Ro-
deo in Las Vegas last month during the
Canadian Finals Rodeo and made their
way back home last week.
The Hales were pinned against 145
kids from across North America as they
gunned for Junior Nationals Finals Ro-
deo titles Dec. 7-11 at the Convention
Centre in Las Vegas, Nev.
“It was a huge accomplishment for
the kids just to qualify for the Junior
NFR and we are super proud of them.
The kids had some tough luck down
there, but it will make them stronger
because of it,” said their mother Rox-
Anne. “They have seen what is out
there, both in stock and in riders, and
know there will be a lot of hard work
ahead of them to qualify again next
year.
Dexter, 14, was the most successful,
as he reached the short go in the se-
nior saddle bronc.
Riding a bronc named Lucky in the
first round, Dexter held onto one of
the wildest horses of the weekend for
most of the ride, but got bucked off a
hair before the buzzer.
The stock was bigger and of higher
quality than what he was accustomed
to riding.
Needing a strong ride to separate
himself from the 20 other competitors,
Dexter held onto KC long enough to
qualify him as one of the eight riders

In the final round, he drew a black
horse named Black Ice, but the stock
won out and bucked Dexter off half-
way through the ride. Only one kid
held on for the required time in the
short go.
Dexter will still be 14 when the cal-
endar flips to 2018, meaning he is eli-
gible to return to Vegas for the Junior
NFR next year if he qualifies.

first round.
Two strong kicks from Pearlsnaps
in Jayna’s second round was too much
to handle for the local cowgirl, as she
was bucked off in her final ride, miss-

Brody, 11, had the same luck as his
sister, as he was bucked off Whiplash
during his first round of the junior

Kings drop a
pair on the road
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Playing in their second all-road weekend of the
season, the Strathmore Wheatland Kings found them-
selves back to their losing ways.
The Kings recently bucked a six-game slide with a
sound 9-1 victory over the Three Hills Thrashers on
Dec. 10, but fell off the wagon with a pair of Southern
Divisional losses last weekend.
The High River Flyers (15-9-3) offence couldn’t be
contained, as they fired 53 shots the Kings way, en
route to the 6-4 decision Dec. 15 at the Bob Snodgrass
Recreation Complex.
After being outshot 26-6 in the opening frame, the
Kings weathered the storm and only trailed 3-1, as
Hayden Vander Ploeg set a career-high with his sixth
goal of the season.
“I’m just trying to get as many pucks on net as I
can, they just happen to be going in this season and
hopefully it keeps going,” said Kings alternate captain
Vander Ploeg.
In the blink of an eye, the Kings took the lead in the
second period with a trio of goals coming 1:30 into
the second stanza inspired by an intermission speech
from assistant coach Braden Desmet, outlining ways of
improvement for this club. Chayse Hnatowich buried a
solo effort, while Austin Holmes scored a pair 27 sec-
onds apart from George Montour.
Liam Bollivar converted a pass from Devon Barlow
and Egor Sinko with just under five minutes remaining
in the second to tie the game heading into the third.
Third periods have been a hot button issue this sea-
son, and plagued the Kings once again, as they surren-
dered a pair of goals late in the game.
Any time a team gets 47 saves out of their backup
netminder, they should be thrilled. Cole Bright was
incredibly busy but still got slapped with his fourth
loss of the season.
“He played unbelievable. We simply cannot give up
that many shots,” said Vander Ploeg. “We need to start
blocking shots, picking up our play and keeping the
puck in the other end longer.”
Things didn’t get much better the following night in
Medicine Hat, as the Kings lost to the last place Medi-
cine Hat Cubs 4-3 at Kinplex Arena.
Tied at three late in the game, Matt Clement scored
his second goal of the game from Noah Irvine and
Quinten Karg with 31 seconds remaining in regulation
to deprive the Kings of at least walking away from the
weekend with one point.
The Kings (10-11-2) controlled the defensive zone
much better by only allowing 30 shots. This time it
was Indiana Kelly’s turn in net. His 26 saves weren’t
enough to win, as he fell to 9-8 on the season.
Kings captain Keenan Ogle netted his sixth of the
year 48 seconds into the middle frame from Bradley
Tingey. Local product Ryan Grasdahl chipped in with
his second of the season from Jaden Doiron and Kody
Hammond with 7:33 remaining in the period.
Garret Vander Ploeg bagged his eighth of the season
one minute into the third, temporarily giving the Kings
the lead. But a power play goal by Noah Irvine set the
table for Clement’s late-game heroics.
The loss to the Cubs (9-14-0) would have been even
more impactful last year. This year, with the Banff
Academy Bears dropping out of the Heritage Junior
Hockey League, all six teams from the South will qual-
ify for postseason play. If the Bears were still around,
the Kings would only be four points up on the Cubs
for the final playoff spot.
The Kings will hold their final game before the holi-
day break on Dec. 23 when they host the Cubs in a
rematch at the Strathmore Family Centre. Puck drop is
set for 5 p.m. The Kings will resume HJHL action on
Jan. 6 when they take on the Coaldale Copperheads
(13-9-1) at Coaldale Arena.
Obituary
BURTON, Daniel Arthur Paul
Daniel Arthur Paul Burton (Boppa Dan to his grandchildren) was born
June 20,1938 in Cranbrook B.C. Dan Enjoyed a happy childhood with
his two older sisters, Pam & Sherry and his younger brother Dougie.
Dan held many unique and varied jobs over the years, a bowling alley
pin setter, a bartender, CP Railway bookkeeper, census taker, & Flemish Rabbit Farmer,
before Dan found his calling in the Airline Industry. In 1961 Dan met his wife to be Joyce
at a Dance at the Bluebird Dance hall in Cranbrook. They fell in love and Married that
year. Together they raised two children, rescued numerous cats, dogs and horses and
had 54 happy years together until Joyce’s death in 2016. Dan was a wonderful Dad,
caring, loving, involved. His girls were the world to him. He could always be counted
on to rescue Adele from every spider encounter even if it meant driving in his car to
her apartment to “save her”. He was our champion. On more than one occasion flying
to wherever we were to drive home with us in snow storms to ensure our safety. Dan
was years ahead of his time ensuring that his daughters knew how to shovel snow,
mow lawns, pour concrete, change tires, use tools and at the same time he shared in
diaper duties, bottle feeding, lunch making and cooked equally as well and as much
as our Mom did. He raised us with the knowledge and skills to do anything we set our
minds to. Dan was the first married agent that Canadian Pacific Airlines had and was
asked to live in the North in Fort Nelson (Mile 300 on the Alaska Highway) as his first
station. He was a one man station in the very beginning but soon moved up the ladder
to Airline Manager for CPAir in Fort Nelson. In 1979 Dan transferred as CPAir Manager
to Grande Prairie. After an illustrious 28 year career in the airline industry Dan retired
in 1989 when Air Canada took over CPAir. A couple of years later Dan and Joyce
decided to take an opportunity to get into business for themselves and for 9 years ran
the Grimm’s Meats distributorship in Grande Prairie and throughout the Peace Country.
Dan was a natural at sales and even made it into the Grimm’s Millionaire’s club (million
dollars in sales). They sold their distributorship in 2000 to move closer to their family
in Strathmore. Dan was an all around athlete, He was an accomplished Curler, winning
many bonspiels and competitions both in mens play and in mixed with his wife Joyce
and still has the bragging rights as the only one in the family who has scored an eight
ender. While very successful in competitions it was also very important that the week-
ends be filled with pranks and laughter. Dan’s legacy of his love of curling lives on and
has passed from Dad to Daughter to Grandson. Dan was a fixture at the curling rink
watching Scott and his team every chance he could and could always be counted on
to provide a libation as a pick me up if the team was struggling. He was an excellent
golfer and also had the bragging rights as the only one in the family with a hole in one.
He was a terrific bowler and once bowled a perfect game in 5 pin bowling. He was a
great fastball player and particularly a pitcher, and it was said that there wasn’t a batter
that Dan couldn’t strike out with his wicked windmill pitch. Dan was a swimmer and
in his younger years swam across Moyer lake in Cranbrook, he played shuffleboard,
tennis, darts, racquetball, he loved to ride his bike upwards of 100km per week. Dan
also loved to watch hockey and rarely missed a flames game on T.V. He also loved to
join his granddaughter Cassidy to watch some of Strathmore’s up and coming talent at
the local rink and in particular Bailey. Dan was an active volunteer throughout his life,
serving on many Boards, Clubs, Service Organizations, and Advisory councils. He was
an avid fan of his children and grandchildren’s interests, he never missed a school play,
Christmas concert, Piano recital, Band concert, Baseball game, Lacrosse game, Curl-
ing Game, Slow Pitch Game, Swim Meet, Skype session or Lunch date. He also never
missed a Monday afternoon visit with his Grand Dog Charlie that may have included
dog treats and perhaps a snooze on the couch for both of them. He could always be
counted on to have treats in his pockets whenever he would join Charlie at the dog
park in Strathmore and you would always see a swarm of dogs surrounding him in
his wheelchair just waiting for their chance to get one of his tasty treats. Dan also had
passion for Bridge and loved playing every Wednesday with his bridge club and any
other chance he could. There was not a single person who encountered Dan that didn’t
immediately like him and become his friend. Dan especially enjoyed his weekly coffee
sessions with his coffee group and together they all solved a lot of the world’s problems
(at least that was their story and they stuck to it). Dan was a medical miracle for the
past 20 years of his life, battling Arthritis, Bursitis, Lip cancer, Leukaemia, Kidney dialy-
sis, Kidney transplant, numerous bouts of pneumonia and during this past two years his
battle with gangrene. However all the while he held on to his positive attitude and can
do spirit. Dan was an inspiration to all who knew him. Dan passed away on December
7, 2017 as the oldest living male in his families history. He will be forever remembered
by his daughters Lorelei Garnett (Jack), Adele Davidson (Darcey), his four grandchildren
Ashten Garnett (Matt), Scott Garnett (Jacqueline), Carly Davidson (Richard), Cassidy
Davidson (Bailey) his beloved grand dog Charlie, Sister Pam Waites as well as many
cherished Nieces, Nephews, family members and friends. We’ll save you a seat at the
rink BOPPA. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Dr. Piesas and to
all the staff at the Wheatland Lodge for the incredible and Compassionate care Dan has
received over the past two years. At Dan’s request, there will be no service or funeral. In
lieu of flowers or cards please make a donation to Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society
(5060 74 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2C 3C9 or www.aarcs.ca). To send condolences, please
