Greyhound
shuts down

Western Canada
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
SUNsational market Times Associate Editor

New transportation woes are facing

Strathmore, Wheatland County and
Page 11 the rest of Western Canada, following
Greyhound Canada’s announcement
of axing its passenger bus and freight
services.
As of Oct. 31, Greyhound will dis-
continue all routes in Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba, and cancel
all routes in British Columbia except
one service route between Vancouver
and Seattle.
Success with soap The decision will affect 107 com-
munities in Alberta and eliminates a
means of transportation for hundreds
of passengers annually.
“We are very sympathetic for all
Greyhound customers, especially
those in small towns and rural are-
as such as Strathmore and Wheatland
County where we have proudly pro-
vided service for decades – in some
RE/MAX FIRST communities for more than 85 years,”
587-316-2000 said Stuart Kendrick, senior vice pres-
ident for Greyhound Canada.
See our ad on Page 5 “We have tried to correct this situa-
tion over multiple years, but our ser-
vice has been challenged by numer-
ous factors and simply put, we can no

Town council uneasy about
awarding CIF funding
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
A lack of documentation and com-
munication rubbed Strathmore town
council members the wrong way last
week, resulting in a decision to provide
funding to only one out of three organi-
zations requesting financial backing for
their local events.
Strathmore town administration re-
quested council consider allocating
$5,000 to the EmBee Open Disc Golf
Tournament, $5,000 to the Blackfoot
Cultural Show and Rodeo, and $1,000
to the Off the Rails Family Fun Run –
events that already occurred or were
cancelled.
While the applications were submit-
ted well in advance, the Community In-
vestment Fund (CIF) review committee
– which is established annually – faced
challenges in finding members for 2018
and wasn’t fully formed and able to re-
view the requests until mid-May.
Council awarded the Strathmore Disc
Golf Club with the $5,000 – or 38 per
cent of their revenue – but took issue
with dishing out money for the other
two requests.
Out of respect for the committee,
council agreed not to approve $5,000
for the Blackfoot Cultural Show and
Rodeo as was brought forward by
administration, when the committee
raised concern with the budget and
recommended only $2,500. Council
also didn’t agree with the recommen-
dation to earmark $1,000 in the 2019
budget for the Off the Rails Family Fun
Run when no application had yet been
made. The event was cancelled this
year, and the committee suggested the
Strathmore Running Club seek a not-
for-profit status or partner with a non-
profit organization in the future.
“I think council made a wise deci-
sion; they gave some clear direction for
the family fun run moving forward,”
said Mark Pretzlaff, recreation manager
with the Town of Strathmore.
“You need to apply early and obvi-
ously it’s our responsibility, and it falls
on my shoulders to make sure our com-
mittee is formed in advance so we can
ensure we can get in front of council
and meet those requests on a timely
matter.”
The Strathmore Running Club origi-
nally asked for $1,250 to cover half
of the second annual Family Fun Run
event’s overall revenue and to be allo-
cated to purchasing participant med-
als. The event, which was supposed to
take place on June 3 in Kinsmen Park
with an expected 500 participants, was
cancelled. While no application has yet
been made for 2019, administration sug-

gested council set aside $1,000 in next
year’s budget to be available when the
organization decides to request those
funds. The recommendation raised red
flags with some council members who
did not feel comfortable setting aside
money without an application.
“I’m having a problem with that,” said
Councillor Bob Sobol. “If they haven’t
even applied for it why are we taking
money out of the pot that might be
used for something else. We’re locking
up $1,000. I think we should wait for
an application before we start awarding
money. I’m not 100 per cent comfort-
able with the (Blackfoot Cultural Show
and Rodeo) one as well. I just feel that
out of respect to the committee they
should’ve had a say in bumping this up
to $5,000.”
The Blackfoot Warrior Party Horse-
manship and Film Society held their
third annual Blackfoot Cultural Show
and Rodeo at the end of June. While
the application asked for $5,000 to
make up 18 per cent of the estimated
revenue to be used for costs including
building rental and marketing materi-
als, additional information showed a
sizable deficit with $28,000 in revenue
compared to $52,000 in expenses. The
committee suggested providing the
organization with $2,500. After receiv-
ing a revised budget and with efforts
to support such events both financially
and through administration, town staff
increased the committee’s recommen-
dation to $5,000.
During the regular council meeting
on July 4, a decision was made to have
administration present their recom-
mendation back to the committee and
receive input before moving forward.
“We’ve since gone back to them to
ask those questions as to why their ex-
penses dramatically outweigh their rev-
enue,” said Pretzlaff. “At the end of the
day I don’t think they’ll be a very suc-
cessful event on a yearly basis if they’re
still turning about a $20,000 loss every
year. The committee wants events that
are sustainable. When an organization
comes forth with a request that’s asking
for $5,000 and they’re still going to turn
a $20,000 loss, it doesn’t make sense to
them why they would support this one
in the first place.”
So far in 2018, six organizations
have already received funding for their
events in rental donations or cash, in-
cluding the Growing Families Society
Dance, Project Hope Gala, Lions Club

The REPs Group received the Diamond Award

show and the 2018 Strathmore Round-
up.
Although some applications are cur-
rently pending, Pretzlaff estimated
$10,000 to $15,000 is still available for
this year.
With the absence of Councillor Tari
Cockx, council voted unanimously to
award the Strathmore Disc Golf Club
with $5,000 for the EmBee Open Disc
Golf Tournament that took place June
30 to July 1. Administration was asked
to discuss their $5,000 recommendation
for the Blackfoot Cultural Show and
Rodeo with the CIF Review Committee
to be brought back at a later date.

Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
Researchers are working hard to find cures for
cancer. However, thinking of lung cancers, only 2%
are caused by environmental or genetic factors. The
remainder, 98% are caused by smoking tobacco.
Lung cancer is a preventable form of cancer that
only each individual who still smokes can affect by
quitting smoking.
Depression occurs in about 10% of women during
pregnancy. It’s common to have women take no
medication during pregnancy without checking with
their doctor or pharmacist. Much study has gone into
the association between antidepressants taken during
pregnancy and autism and the results showed there
is no direct link between the drugs and the disease.
With the legalization of marijuana in Canada,
it’s a good time to remind parents (and teens) that
regular use of the drug could contribute to addiction,
depression, lung problems, psychoses, memory and
attention problems, impaired driving and a loss of
motivation. Quite a list and something not to take
lightly.
All skin types are not created equally. Billions
are spent yearly to keep our skin young and free
of blemishes. The rates of the aging of our skin are
governed by our genetic make-up and that includes
our skin colour. People with dark skin have more
built-in protection from the sun’s UV rays; in fact
4 times the protection than people with white skin.
Dark-skinned people also don’t wrinkle as much
as they age due to thicker skin and more collagen-
making cells. Still, for all skin types, stopping
smoking and using good sun protection will help
slow the aging process.

applications within the IDP areas,” stated Wheat-
land County Reeve Glenn Koester.
All municipalities not covered under munici-
pal growth plans are required by the province
to have updated or new agreements in place by
2020. However, since only a portion of Wheatland
County is included the Calgary Metropolitan Re-
gion Growth Plan, additional agreements were re-
quired for areas not included in the growth plan.

DIRECT CONTROL APPROVED FOR MIDWEST
HUTTERITE COLONY NEAR ROSEBUD
The new Midwest Hutterite Colony, located
on Township Road 262 and about 10 kilometres
southeast of Rosebud, received a direct control
designation first reading approval for 159 acres
that will house, employ residents, and address so-
cial and spiritual needs of the colony.
“The intent of a direct control district is to pro-
vide specific regulations to developments that are
proposed on the land that are not currently found
together within existing districts of the land use
bylaw,” said Odessa Cohen, Wheatland County ju-
nior planner.
Colonies are unique as they include things like
agriculture buildings, communal living spaces,
worship centres, family daycare and schools all
on one piece of property. Plans include an ab-
attoir, processing area and a greenhouse. There
may be an addition to accommodate a cemetery.
“The cultural circumstances surrounding the
requirement of these uses in the district for the
colony are intended to ensure a level of quality of
life and cultural and social support for these com-
munities in the county,” said Cohen.
First reading was given approval and a public
hearing will be held in council chambers on Au-
gust 14.
RE-DESIGNATION FOR PORTION OF WEST-
ERN FEEDLOT PROPERTY
On July 3, part of the former Western Feedlot
property on Highway 817 got second and third
reading approval from Wheatland County council.
The applicant applied for a re-designation of 4.98
acres from agriculture general to country residen-
tial.
The application indicates the remainder of the
property will be used for agricultural purposes.
“The land use approval will also allow the sub-
mission of the subdivision plan to Wheatland
County and the sale of this subdivision property
will allow the home to be occupied rather than
vacant,’ said Cameron Wallace, planner for West-
ern Feedlots.
There was a concern listed by Alberta Health
Services that the well is tested and an environ-
mental site assessment be done on both the sub-
division quarter and the adjacent quarter, due to
the previous use for feedlot purposes.
CLUNY AREA COVERED BY
GLEICHEN FIRE SERVICES
In December 2017, the Cluny Rural Fire Protec-
tion Association terminated their joint fire service
agreement. The assets were transferred to Wheat-
land County and inspections showed equipment
and building did not meet operational guidelines.
“The fire department building condition was so
poor that the building had to be closed for safety
reasons,” said Wheatland County Councillor Jason
Wilson.
Fire services will be provided through the Glei-
chen Fire department under the direction of Glei-
chen Fire Chief Ron Welcher.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cannabis concerns
To the Editor
(Letter sent to Prime Minister Trudeau)
I would like to thank you very much for your re-
sponse, dated May 22, to my letter concerning the le-
galization of cannabis. I wish I could say that I am
comforted by the “safeguards,” laws and regulations
set out in the response letter from Jody Wilson-Ray-
bold, Minister of Justice.
One has only to look at the failure of today’s laws
regarding drunk driving. The loss of lives and the
broken bodies of those who have survived speak
out loud and clearly of the failure to change the be-
haviours of people addicted to alcohol and/or other
drugs. MADD Canada records 43,247 alcohol- or drug-
related crashes since 1982.
Within our circle of acquaintances, the feeling is of
great fear and disbelief at the journey on which Bill
C-45 is taking our nation. No amount of laws, regula-
tions or even education can touch an addict who does
not want help.
A friend tells me that her husband, addicted to can-
nabis, makes good money but their home is falling
apart. Nothing has been fixed or painted in the 16
years since moving in… because there is no money!
Their children are all struggling as a result of abuse
and neglect by their father. Their marriage has been
an ongoing heartbreak. I believe this scenario is re-
peated countless times across Canada. The only thing
that really matters to an addict is that “he or she must
get their fix.”
There are four points I will enumerate that justify
the fears:
1. In the “regulatory requirements to address
where cannabis can be consumed,” many areas are
out of bounds. If every household is allowed to have
four plants – why not smoke right at home? How then
can children (infants, toddlers and youngsters) be
protected?
If this is so, what will happen to these little ones
whose tiny brains are just beginning to form and are
being exposed to second-hand smoke. No one knows
the long-term effects. There needs to be more re-
search done.
2. Research has shown that teenagers can experi-
ence a drop of eight points in the IQ rating after be-
ing exposed to first-hand or smoke. Are we a nation
prepared to deal with a generation of children whose
brains are so stunted they may never be able to func-
tion on their own? What will that do to our healthcare
budget and long-term housing and care for them?
3. One of the first symptoms of addiction parents
note in their teenagers is the loss of motivation. This
loss, combined with the drop in IQ, may even cause
A-plus students to drop out of, or be expelled from,
school. They are less likely to do well in school, have
fewer opportunities, little motivation for higher edu-
cation resulting in lower paid jobs… leading to pov-
erty in many cases.
4. I cannot imagine the tragic loss of life and de-
stroyed quality of life that will be the result of irre-
sponsible adults who are currently “consuming” and
driving a vehicle or operating equipment. If those ir-
responsible adults are not currently “consuming,” they
could conceivable take it up once Bill C-45 comes into
effect. Our prayer is that your family or mine will not
fall victim to such a tragedy caused by someone’s ir-
responsible act of “consuming” while driving.
“Strict legal framework for controlling the produc-
tion, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis
across Canada” is a poor legacy left to our future gen-
erations of Canadians.
Bill C-45 approval is a great disservice to our beau-
tiful country, and on the basis of this I can no longer
support your leadership.

Times TIDBITS
Did You Know?
In Western culture, Friday the 13th is known for being the most unlucky day of the year, with many
people fearing what the day entails. People with a phobia of the number 13 have triskaidekaphobia.
People who fear Friday the 13th have what is known as “paraskevidekatriaphobia”
or “friggatriskaidekaphobia”, depending on who you talk to.
The Greeks and Romans referred to the days throughout July to September in the Northern Hemisphere
as ‘Dog Days’. They associated the hot weather with the star Sirius, which is considered to be the
“Dog Star” because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog).
Sirius is also the brightest star besides the Sun.

Spring session of the legislature ends with weak opposition to the NDP
DEREK FILDEBRANDT
Strathmore-Brooks MLA
Spring session at the Legislature
came to a wrap and was marked by the
NDP ramming through more damaging
legislation, but surprisingly, with little
or no opposition from my former party,
the UCP on key issues.
MLA PAY CUT
As Alberta’s debt reaches towards
$100 billion, I put forward a motion
to cut all MLA pay by 5 per cent un-
til the budget is balanced. This motion
was met by dead silence by every other
MLA in the legislature, NDP, UCP, and
Alberta Party. While the different par-
ties might disagree on some issues, they
all managed to unanimously agree that
reducing MLA salaries from $130,000 a
year by 5 per cent was a bad idea.
This would have saved Alberta tax-
payers a bit of money, but more im-
portantly would have shown a sign of
solidarity with those struggling to pay
higher taxes while the government only
spends more. This move made sense
for the NDP’s spending-happy budget
plans, however I was surprised and dis-
appointed that the UCP would collude
with them to refuse to even debate my
proposal.
ANTI-FREE SPEECH/NO PROTEST
ZONES (BILL 9)
The NDP put forward Bill-9, which
sharply curtailed the rights of Alber-
tans to protest – even respectfully –
against abortion. Regardless of how
anyone feels about the abortion debate,
singling out an individual group to at-
tack their rights to freedom of speech
and assembly is anti-democratic in the
extreme. We must always stand up for
free speech, especially for those that
we disagree with. I would no more vote
for a bill to limit the freedoms of pro-
life activists, as I would to limit the free-
doms of anti-pipeline activists. We can
disagree with people on issues without
attacking their rights to express them-
selves.
Like the MLA pay cut that I proposed,
I wasn’t surprised that the NDP was
solidly behind this bill, but I was deep-
ly disappointed that my colleagues in
the UCP were all whipped to not sup-
port the bill, or oppose the bill, but to
refuse to even debate or vote on it.
On 15 separate occasions, UCP MLAs
were forced by the whip to run out of
the legislature before every vote, and
then return to their seats to sit silently
as the debate went on.
I proposed nearly a dozen different
amendments which would have better
balanced the bill and protected free-
dom of speech. All but one was defeat-
ed, but I did my job as an opposition
MLA to show up, debate the bill, pro-
pose amendments, and vote on them.
As a result of being the only MLA in
the entire house to openly oppose the
bill, the NDP amended it themselves to
triple the size of the no-protest zones.
It is the solemn duty of the opposi-
tion to support bills that it agrees with,

imposed racial and gender quotas.
While these kinds of quotas have – offi-
cially and unofficially – been employed
by the public sector and all parties cur-
rently in the legislature for candidate
selection, never before in Canada has a
government imposed them on the pri-
vate sector.
On this bill, the NDP, UCP and Al-
berta Party all voted unanimously on
four separate occasions to keep race
and gender quotas in the bill when I
put forward a series of amendments to
remove them.
It is no business of the government
who private businesses decide to hire,
and the best person for the job – in
business and in government – should
always be the one to get the job, re-
gardless of their sex or color of their
skin.
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF
THE TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE
The biggest and most public issue
before the legislature this fall however
was the Trans Mountain Pipeline. With
a massive Carbon Tax and unprece-
dented new regulations to limit our oil
and gas industry, the NDP have failed
to win “social license” from anti-energy
activists, who’s demands only get more
radical once their previous demands
have been met.
Kinder Morgan’s CEO made clear
that unless the illegal roadblocks to the
Trans Mountain Pipeline were cleared,
the project would be canceled. On the
very same day, Prime Minister Trudeau,
Premier Notley, and UCP Leader Ken-
ney all called for the government to
buy and take ownership of the pipe-
line.
This had two immediate and one
long-term consequence. With politi-
cians on all sides calling for taxpayers
to buy the pipeline, Kinder Morgan
was in a prime negotiating position to
sell it at a premium price. At $4.5 bil-
times
lion, taxpayers paid a dear price for a
project that had all of the investment
strathmore
money that it needed if the rule of law
would only have been upheld.

launched their home-based business 582 Soap Co. one and a half years ago and have received much
support and demand from Strathmore and surrounding communities.
Family-based soap
company finds success
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Last year, when Cristin Wintschel’s
mother-in-law, Dorthy, came to visit for
a month, the women faced a dilemma:
how to entertain each other for the du-
ration. Thinking ahead, Dorthy packed
a soap-making kit she had dabbled
with for nearly two years, and the two
women spent weeks experimenting
with the science of soap making and
various natural ingredients.
By the end of Dorthy’s stay, Cristin
and her husband Jonathan stared at a
massive pile of soap that took up much
of their Didsbury home.
It took four months, but the couple,
along with Cristin’s sister, Lindsay, dove
head first into a family business venture
that has made them a frequent vendor
at over 100 markets across southern Al-
berta. Their products have quadrupled
in demand, they’ve expanded a line of
body care products, and the products
have found a place on shelves at Lil
Hoots Children and Maternity Consign-
ment Boutique and The Rack on Third.
Although 582 Soap Co. has only been
in existence for a year and a half, its
creators have been overwhelmed with
the support and response they’ve re-
ceived from Strathmore and surround-
ing area.
“I can’t believe how much has hap-
pened in the last year and a half, it’s
been crazy,” said Lindsay Mchale, who
lives just outside of Strathmore. “It was
just going to be a hobby, and then we
thought let’s try out a market. It’s unbe-
lievable how much it grew, and in this
area they are very supportive of the lo-
cal businesses, which is awesome.
“I’ve been out here for five years and
I have not met as many people as I
have in the last year and a half. It’s re-
ally brought me into my community.”
Cristin and Lindsay grew up in a fam-
ily-run business in Saskatchewan, and
are used to working together. While
Cristin focuses her attention on soaps,

Strengthening child and youth programs and services
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Strathmore’s need for a more com-
prehensive overview of child and
youth programs and services was at the
forefront of last week’s council meet-
ing when administration discussed the
Youth Club Progress Plan.
The report, which was described as a
roadmap for the Youth Club of Strath-
more from January to December 2018,
outlined the objectives and strategies
of how goals have been and will be
met.
Council was provided with informa-
tion on: reviewing and aligning current
practices, policies and regulations with
the town, provincial and federal legis-
lation; viewing and assessing the cur-
rent programs, and implementing ad-
ministrative controls; and, evaluating
the afterschool care program.
However, it was administration’s in-
tentions of conducting a gap analysis
to provide a clear understanding of
services available in the community
and the need of afterschool care that
sparked a discussion during the regu-

“There is more research that needs
to be done of what’s out in the com-
munity; we don’t really have a strong
picture,” said Tracey Simpson, director
of community and protective services
with the Town of Strathmore.
“One of the results we want to come
out of our gap analysis and surveys is,
what are the needs in the community
that aren’t being met by other service
providers, including the schools and
other non-profits, and then making
sure that we’re meeting a need. Wheth-
er it’s with what we’re currently offer-
ing or if something is newly identified.
“Our goal is definitely not to dupli-
cate services. We don’t want to be com-
peting or fractioning our services. We’ll
be able to identify what other people
are doing if there’s still a need in that
area, and if not, where else can we fo-
cus our energy and resources.”
Since January, administration has
met one-on-one with the youth club

and practices, to provide training op-

the developmental needs of children,
to develop policies and procedures
specific to the Out of School Care pro-
gram; and are now starting to engage
council and staff to provide feedback
for the development of the survey.
“The ongoing need for a child and
youth program and services in the
community needs to be strengthened,”
said Linda Bernicki, social services co-
ordinator with the Town of Strathmore.
“Some ways in which we can do that
is through constructive community di-
alogue, a well-articulated strategic plan
and a shift of thinking, and including a
balance between program delivery and
community development.
“We have started to identify gaps in
service for children and youth… and
that’s what we’re looking at with the
review of the programs. What type of
gap in service is there and who is best
to fill that gap. Should it be us or is
there another service provider in the
community that can help fill that gap.”
Bernicki added administration will
continue to evaluate the afterschool
care program with new services cur-
rently offered within the municipality
and will look into developing a youth
survey to be implemented through a
variety of venues.
However, it was administration’s in-
tent of beginning to explore the expan-
sion of the scope of services offered
after school to encompass less formal

Jason Montgomery.

An independent evaluation of the
Green for Life (GFL) compost facility
was submitted to Wheatland County
Council on July 3, outlining findings
and suggestions to issues raised by
area residents.
The full report is posted under the
July 3 council agenda, on the Wheat-
land County website.
“It is very thorough, and I think it ad-
dressed a lot of the concerns that the
public had… and some of the areas
that we need to work with Alberta En-
vironment and Parks,” said Wheatland
County Deputy Reeve Scott Klassen.
The evaluation was done by Dr. Da-
ryl McCartney, a waste management
and compost engineer in Alberta. The
report attempted to review 11 general
subject headings in best practises and
operations for compost facilities.
McCartney stated the assessment was
hindered somewhat, as GFL was not
very cooperative with the assessment.
He was not allowed in the plant or al-
lowed discussions with employees. He
said he did visit the site and made limit-
ed assessments from the boundary. He
also spoke with residents and reviewed
data collected on file with the county,
allowing him to make some major and
minor recommendations.
Historically, the site was set up to
deal with waste from XL Foods in Cal-
gary. In 1997, it was given a small fa-
cility rating that would deal with pen
and paunch manure, switches and ears,
and cardboard and waste wood. Over
the years the site has been transferred
to three separate owners and many up-
of where we’re developing a compre-
hensive set of strategic directions or
business plan,” said Montgomery. “We
know there is a fair bit of money being
spent towards this right now… I think
we need to figure out, within reason,
how much money we’re going to be
throwing at this whole program going
forward. So, let’s make sure we’re di-
recting resources towards things that
are sustainable and have a long-term
life.”
Chief Administrative Officer James
Thackray and Simpson assured coun-
cil that administration is looking at
sustainable service models and consid-
ering costs as well as possibilities of
subsidization.
For Councillor Denise Peterson, who
expressed her concern regarding after
school care program cost, the identi-
fication of priorities is necessary for
council to be able to make budgetary
decisions.
“I think it’s going to be incumbent
on us… to decide what the priorities
are unless you’ve done a gap analysis
– and we will be taking that direction
from (administration) – but one of the
things this council has to decide is
what capacity do we have in terms of
our budget,” she said.
The report also stated that adminis-
tration will be looking at strengthening
the department’s role in community
development, increasing partnerships
and assisting as a community hub, sup-
porting initiatives to increase opportu-
nities for rural youth, and to share in-
formation with the community, service
providers, parents and youth over the
next few months.
Council accepted the report as infor-
mation during the town’s regular coun-
cil meeting on July 4.
grades to the facility have been done,
such as an expanded compost area east
of the engineered clay pad, abandoned
and replaced boreholes, and additions
of leachate ponds and a mixing bunker.
McCartney found figures presented
for 2016 on sulphur intake was over the
provincial limit. He stated waste mate-
rial feedstock and sulphur should be
included in the overall tonnage report-
ed, and that an update on operational
plans, facility plans and upgrades done
since the original approval in 1997
should be reviewed by Alberta Environ-
ment and Parks (AEP), to confirm that
approval is in place for any changes.
Using the 2017 operational plan, Mc-
Cartney identified some improvements
were needed in the plan that would
curtail some of the odour. Things like
developing better protocols for con-
ditioning and covering wet feedstock,
eliminating drywall from anaerobic
environments, and outlining details of
leachate pond operation and mainte-
nance.
He suggested AEP look at the leach-
ate pond and determine if it met cur-
rent guidelines. He said the front gate
should have a posting for local fire and
police phone contact.
Wheatland County was tasked to
confirm AEP’s definition of the word
immediate, clarifying a timeline in the
mixing of mature wet compost with
off-spec sulphur, prior to storage. Mc-
Cartney also wanted to determine if the
procedure was done on a lined com-
post pad. He questioned whether best
composting practises were occurring,
but could not be conclusive due to limi-
tations posed by GFL.

Members from the Standard 4-H Sheep Club presented Jordyn Semeniuk from the Alberta Chilldren’s
Hospital with a giant cheque for $4,120.50 on June 25 raised from the proceeds of a charity lamb
auctioned off during the annual West Wheatland 4-H Show and Sale.
Children learn the
importance of donating
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The Standard 4-H Sheep Club took
their youth programming a philan-
thropic step further during their annual
wind-up meeting on June 25 – they in-
vited a special guest to speak to club
members about why it is important to
donate.
4-H Alberta programming encourag-
es youth to learn through active partici-
pation of projects, programs and com-
munity service and to “learn to do by
doing,” while also striving to educate
youth to become leaders and engaged
citizens.
The club in Standard recognizes this
by encouraging members to participate
in several community service initia-
tives, both through organized club ac-
tivities and personal opportunities.
Although the club has often support-
ed one young child each year to raise
a charity lamb – where the proceeds
made through the auction of the lamb
would go to a charity of the child’s
choice – this is the first year the club
has made a cognizant decision to teach
members where the money goes and
why it is important to donate to charity.
This year’s charity lamb was raised
by eight-year-old Kaitlyn Klemmensen,
who decided to donate the $4,120.50
raised by her charity lamb to the Al-
berta Children’s Hospital through the
Kids Helping Kids campaign. The lamb

en formal complaints via petition were
received in 2016 and two in 2017. After
speaking with a few residents and con-
ducting a short outcome survey, where
four residents indicated they wanted
operations to cease until changes were
made, McCartney suggested GFL de-
velop a community engagement plan to
improve communication with adjacent
landowners and area residents.
“The key is really starting to work
more closely and more formally, per-
haps with Alberta Environment and
Parks, around some of these issues…
to get answers from them that they can
confirm. These are some of the fairly
specific items that they can address,”

said Klemmensen.

Jordyn Semeniuk, Kids Helping Kids applications
Ben
program coordinator with the Alber- 403-901-9553
ta Children’s Hospital, spoke to club
members.
“I think this program really teaches
them about giving back at a young age
and helps them get involved in their
community. The kids here are so young
and they’re such big leaders already…
I think it’s really important that kids
see the impact of their gift and they
understand where it goes and how it’s
used,” said Semeniuk, who added the
funds will go towards equipment, re-
search and special programs.
Last year, approximately 800 children
participated in the Kids Helping Kids
program, raising over $500,000.
“The kids are the true spirit of phi-
lanthropy. They don’t have motives,
they just give because they have good
hearts… it’s really special, it all adds
up,” said Semeniuk.
The Standard 4-H Sheep Club hopes
they can continue the special meeting
programming each year so its members
have the same opportunities to learn
about the difference their donation
makes.
said McCartney.
As far as follow-up action, McCartney
suggested that confirmation was need-
ed on AEP’s current plan to deal with
the issues.
“In situations like this, it is unfortu-
nate that the sides are in a conflict sit-
uation. It is an odd one, as you don’t
have any contract or formal process to
deal with this. I would like to say this
is unique, but it is not,” said McCartney.
Klassen indicated he thought AEP has
not put this high on their priority list
and are also learning as they go. He
suggested that having a knowledgeable
person working on the matter would be
advantageous.
County administration said they are
working on scheduling a meeting with
GFL and AEP, and will update council in
August or September as to the content
of those discussions. County legal coun-
sel said the lawyer representing GFL is
open to negotiation and to developing
a mitigation process to address commu-
nity concerns.

Schultz hops back in the saddle

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Cowboys are judged on how quickly
they can get back on the horse that
bucked them off.
Strathmore’s Ethan Schultz is nearly
ready to get back into the ring with
the bulls that bucked him off and side-
lined him for a couple of weeks with
a concussion.
The timing of Schultz’s second con-
cussion couldn’t have come at a worse
time.
He was touring with the Bull-A-Ra-
ma group across Alberta when he got
dinged up June 23 during a Bull Rid-
ers Canada event in Whitecourt.
The concussion forced him to miss
the two events closest to his home-
town: Bull-A-Rama on June 24 in
Carseland — which also happened to
be one day after his 23rd birthday —
and the Bull-A-Rama event the follow-
ing weekend in Rockyford.
“It sucks to miss those events close
to home, but it’s just one of those
things that comes with the territory of
the sport,” said Schultz, a 2013 Holy
Cross Collegiate grad.
Schultz plays it safe and has ditched
the cowboy hat for a full caged mask
when he rides. Even with the ex-
tra protection, it wasn’t enough to
cushion the blow when he smacked
his head against the backside of the
2,000-pound beast.
Schultz is being responsible with his
injury. He has cooperatively worked
with the professional rodeo sports
team and even sat out an extra week
just to play it safe.
“Head injuries are pretty serious. It’s
something I’ve taken all the measures
to make sure I am good to go and now
I feel like I’m ready to get back out
there,” said Schultz. “No more sitting
around.”
Schultz didn’t want to miss anoth-
er second of rodeo action in another
busy summer. There’s a good chance
you can catch Schultz in the bucking
chutes each weekend, as he rides for
Bull Riders Canada, and has his Lake-
land Rodeo Association and Foothills
Cowboy Association cards.
Now riding in the amateur circuit for Ethan Schultz often looks after the bulls at Scott Schiffner’s ranch and helps out around the yard. The

U16 Thunder fall at provincials,
U12 Thunder take bronze
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Often, a less-than-stellar showing at a
provincial meet is tough to forget and
sticks with players for a lengthy offsea-
son.
Luckily, for the U16 Strathmore Thun-
der, they get to wipe away the sting of a
poor showing at provincials and focus
on the Canada Cup International Fast-
ball tournament, which starts July 16 in
Vancouver and runs until July 22.
The Thunder entered provincials
with a target on their back after cruis-
The Strathmore U16 Thunder celebrated their Calgary Minor Softball league championship July 4 at
the Vista Heights softball diamond in Calgary. ing through the Calgary Minor Softball
Photo Courtesy of Vince Olson League playoffs.
The Thunder cooked the Nosecreek
Chaos 11-4 July 4 in the Calgary final
on the strength of a pair of 3-for-4
games from Isabella McIntyre and Nat-
alie Funk, who also combined for five
RBIs.
“The Calgary league is the premier
league in Calgary and a very strong
league in Alberta. We thought we could
carry the momentum from that into
provincials, but that wasn’t the case,”
said Thunder Head Coach Vince Olson.
Quickly turning around from the
league finals to provincials, the Thun-
der got stung by the very same Chaos
crew two days later at the provincial
championship at the Vista Heights soft-
ball diamonds in Calgary.
The Thunder couldn’t tack on any
more runs after the first inning ended
tied 1-1, as the Chaos piled on three
runs in the third and fourth.
The Thunder bounced back nicely
and downed the Olds Pistols 7-2 later
that evening.
Ashlyn Riley drove in a pair of runs
while going 1-for-3 at the dish, and
Funk went 3-for-4 with a run scored
and one RBI.
Ainsley Olson hurled all seven in-
nings on the hill and struck out nine.
Needing to pick up some wins on the
second day of round robin action, the
Thunder ran into a pair of stingy pitch-
ers.
First, the Thunder were blanked 5-0
by the Red Deer Rage. The Thunder
only mustered five hits, two of which
came from McIntyre. Again, Olson
threw all seven innings, 140 pitches to-
tal.
The Thunder’s dream of advancing to
nationals was crushed when they were
eliminated by the Elnora Eagles 4-3.
The Eagles scored three runs in the
bottom of the fifth, only to see the
Thunder answer with three runs of
their own in the top of the sixth from
Olson and Susanne Sevick.
Unable to keep the Eagles down,
Charli Calon yielded a run in the bot-

in Sherwood Park.
tom half and the Thunder couldn’t find
momentum in the seventh to force ex-
tras.
“It certainly wasn’t our best weekend
and it was unfortunate to play like that
at provincials, but at least we have the
Canada Cup to look forward to,” said
Olson.
The sting of an early exit at provin-
cials can be quickly masked by gearing
up to take on teams from the other side
of the world in one final tournament.
The Thunder applied and were ac-
cepted to compete in the U16 division
of the Canada Cup.
The tourney features a U16, U19 and
a senior division, which will feature
Team Canada.
In the Thunder’s pool, they will take
on teams from Winnipeg and Vancou-
ver and the Chinese Taipei team, among
others.
“The girls are going to be surround-
ed by some very strong teams from all
over and we will get to watch the na-
tional team play. It will be a great week
of competition and a much better way
to head into the rest of summer than
what we didn’t do at provincials,” said
Olson.
THUNDER TAKE BRONZE
The U12 Thunder showed up to play
in their provincial tournament last
weekend in Sherwood Park.
After dropping the opener 6-3 July 6
to the Calgary Adrenaline, the Thunder
bats woke up and put up double-digit
runs in four of their next five games, en
route to taking the bronze medal.
The Thunder blasted the Edmonton
Warriors 11-5, brushed back the Beau-
mont Blitz 16-10 and thumped the St.
Albert Angels 19-1 to close out the
round robin.
Finishing as the No. 2 seed in the
division, the Thunder took on the top-
seeded Irma Tigers and lost 11-7.
“We played the Tigers real tough.
They got out to a 5-3 lead early, but
we battled back to lead 7-6 heading
into what was the eventual final inning.
They put up five runs and then we
reached the time limit. We couldn’t start
another inning after our game went
past its allowed length,” said Thunder
Coach Mark Screpnek.
In the bronze medal game, the Thun-
der were pinned against the powerful
South Bow River Hot Shots.
Luckily, the bats came alive again.
The Thunder got in front 13-5 early and
coasted to victory.
“That was a disappointing and heart-
breaking loss for the girls in the semis.
I’m very proud of how they responded
and finished the weekend strong,” said
Screpnek.

Young Canadians
celebrate milestone
Continued from Page 17
After the opener, Habing came out for
the cupcake dance and 50th birthday
celebration with the rest of the juniors,
while Blokland and Aleman performed
two more times — in the roller-skating
number and Olympic celebration —
with the rest of the intermediate danc-
ers.
Aside from dazzling dance routines,
the Grandstand Show, produced by
Dave Pierce, had many more enter-
taining performances throughout the
evening. America’s Got Talent winner
Drew Lynch warmed up the crowd
with a quick standup routine; ventrilo-
quist Ronn Lucas and his sidekick Buf-
falo Billy made their sixth trip to the
Stampede; Andy Kim — who wrote
the smash hit Sugar, Sugar that came
out in 1968 — rocked the crowd with
a sing along; illusionist Darcy Oake
made doves appear out of thin air and
escaped a straitjacket while hanging
below a flaming bear trap; Eddie the
Eagle made an appearance; and there
was a roller skating routine by Alina
Leiva and Yunier Morales.
There isn’t too much time for stand-
ing around and watching for The
Young Canadians in between acts, as
they scramble to get ready for the next
act deep beneath the stage. But with 11
shows booked, the Strathmore trio has
made sure to soak in this significant an-
niversary and everything that accompa-
nies it.
“There are so many amazing aspects
of the show; it’s really great to meet
everyone and see other people go out
and perform their part,” said Aleman,
a 12-year-old student at Sacred Heart
Academy.
The message all night is about cel-
ebrating the 50 years of The Young Ca-
nadians. Towards the end of the per-
formance, the current performers come
out on stage while a video montage
plays in the background of past mem-
bers of The Young Canadians all sing-
ing along.
“Last year was great, but seeing ev-
eryone and all the alumni performers
come together made this year’s perfor-
mance that much better,” said Aleman.
Of course, for the local girls, their fa-
Schultz returns to rodeo ring
Continued from Page 19
It might come as a surprise to learn
a seasoned vet like Schiffner, who has
won everything there is to win in bull
riding multiple times, might also ben-
efit from their relationship, but he has.
“Ethan is a great person all around.
He’s hard-working, eager to learn and
grow as a bull rider,” said the two-time
Calgary Stampede champion Schiff-
ner. “To be honest, I probably learn as
much from him as what I pass on to
him. He has the youth and excitement
for this sport that reminded me how
fun it can be sometimes.”
When Schiffner was Schultz’s age,
he was lifting the bronze and earning
a $100,000 cheque for winning the
Calgary Stampede for the first time.
But comparing himself to the great-
est bull rider isn’t part of Schultz’s
plan. He has an idea in mind for his
career and is going to take it at his
speed.
“I had a good amateur year last year
and I am hoping to build off that this
season and develop some consistency.
