Provincial budget
has municipalities
tightening purse
strings
DEIRDRE MITCHELL-MACLEAN
Times Contributor
There were some surprises in the government’s
first provincial budget tabled on Oct. 25, but local
officials say they were prepared.
Municipalities receive funds from the province
to assist with capital funding for projects as well
as operational costs. In last week’s budget, Fi-
nance Minister Travis Toews announced munici-
palities would receive less.
Strathmore Mayor Pat Fule says the reduction in
capital funding, delivered through the Municipal
Sustainability Initiative, was expected.
“We have been discussing the need to lower ex-
pectations regarding this provincial funding and
that we’d need to find other revenue streams as
well as seriously look at ways to reduce spend-
ing,” he said.
Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link noted the
county had also begun to prepare in advance of
the announcement.
“Council and senior administration have started
reviewing our draft operating and capital budg-
ets (and) we are currently exploring options to
reduce our overall budget while maintaining ser-
vices to our ratepayers,” she noted.
Fule addressed similar concerns with services.
“We don’t want to see reductions in services to
Strathmore residents so we are looking at ways
to bring in more revenue to Strathmore,” he said.
He added that there are projects currently under-
way, such as the Solar Krafte Solar Farm, which
is expected to reduce electricity costs and allow
money to go to other areas.
The Town of Strathmore will be heading into
budget meetings in November, Fule said, but also
noted that this is not only something Strathmore
and area will be dealing with; all municipalities

Foothills Brass returns for Remembrance weekend

CHRISTINE FOSHAUG
Time Contributor
When Foothills Brass played in Strathmore during
the first season of Arts on 817, they wowed the audi-
ence with their incredible talent and versatility. Now
they’re coming back in Season 3, and this time they’re
bringing some friends along.
Foothills Brass & Friends will present a Remem-
brance weekend program at Arts on 817’s second
concert of the season on Nov. 9. Three singers from
Calgary, Kate Stevens, Izzy Zenglitsky and Tyra Sand-
erson, will portray the Andrews Sisters. Add jazz pia-
nist Steve Fletcher to the mix and the hits of the ’40s
will come to life, with tunes like Boogie Woogie Bugle
Boy and Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree.
“The Foothills Brass has been performing this pro-
gram for a couple of years now and it has been very
popular,” explained Carolyn Steeves, artistic direc-
tor for Arts on 817. “The Music of the ’40’s is closely
aligned with the Second World War years. Seniors will
remember sitting around the radio and listening to
war broadcasts. Big band music, jazz and boogie woo-
gie were very popular. Entertaining the troops was
also very popular.”
A fixture in southern Alberta, Foothills Brass has
been entertaining audiences since 1981 with up to
200 performances each year in concert halls, universi-
ties, classrooms and cathedrals.
From their first international tour in 1986, which
included a Christmas Eve performance in Bethlehem
Town Square, a Christmas Day performance at the Je-
rusalem Theatre and a two-week tour of Israel, to per-
forming at the Calgary Winter Olympics in 1988 and
releasing six albums, Foothills Brass is recognized
worldwide for its educational activities and artistic in-
novation.
Arts on 817 wanted to present this program for
Remembrance Day. With this year marking the 75th
anniversary of Juno Beach and D-Day, and last year
marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the First
World War, they felt it was important to recognize
these significant milestones for our country.
“The audience can expect to be transported to an-
other time, the 1940s, through a wonderful evening of
fun and music making,” said Steeves. “Memories will
be made and relived. No matter your age, this evening
will be very entertaining.”
The Foothills Brass & Friends concert, which will be
held at Strathmore United Church, starts at 7:30 p.m.
on Saturday, Nov. 9. For tickets call 403-901-2797 or
go to smoreuc.com.

Wheatland and Area Hospice provides update
BRAD EVERETT
Time Contributor
Dr. Joni McNeely, Wheatland and Area
Hospice Society (WAHS) board presi-
dent, gave an update on the group’s ef-
forts to a crowd of over 60 people at
the Dying 2 Learn event on Oct. 23 at
the Strathmore Municipal Library.
“I’d like to emphasize here that mem-
bers are not necessarily unhappy with
services at the hospital; just that we
hope to improve on all aspects of end
of life care, not just in the hospital,”
said McNeely.
The goals of WAHS is three-fold: to
provide programs and services, support
to families and facility development.
“Even though each one of these goals
is no more important than another, it’s
important for us (and you) to remem-
ber that this is a progression of goals,
but not priorities,” said McNeely
Palliative care focuses on the comfort
and care of terminal patients and can
take place in a variety of locations (e.g.
hospital, seniors’ facility or home), try-
ing to make the most of the patient’s
remaining days or months.
A hospice is a facility specifically
dedicated to this type of care, where
medical staff and volunteers provide
this comfort care.
McNeely noted that many people
in this situation want to stay in their
homes as long as possible, but need ex-
tra support to make that happen which
could come from a hospice facility. The
newer term for this kind of care being
“hospice without walls”.
It is this sort of facility, a hospice
with beds, that could also function as a
hub to extend assistance to those who
wish to stay at home as long as pos-
sible, as well as programs to support

family members, that WAHS is working
towards.
McNeely outlined the extensive work
the WAHS has done and is doing in
terms of providing care and programs
while developing policy and business
cases for a proposed hospice facility in
Strathmore.
The option WAHS has set their sights
on is a partnership with the Wheatland
Housing Management Body (WHMB)
new lodge building project which
would see three beds of the 165 pro-
posed dedicated for hospice use for
area residents. The Town of Strathmore
has offered to donate the site of their
current town office for the project. The
annual operating budget for the hospice
would be $650,000, provided through
requisitions by the WHMB. This facility

NEWS Raw milk for health
To the Editor
A response to Mr. Caron’s letter about raw milk.
Very well stated Simon-Pierre Caron.
I like unpasteurized milk as well. To me it tastes
better. I believe there is nothing wrong with raw milk.
I know a nurse who says some young children are
unable to digest pasteurized milk but do very well
drinking raw cow’s milk.
I am the youngest of five in my family of two boys
and three girls. My youngest sister is now 94, several
years older than me. My dad had several milk custom-
ers in Brant. My sister and I had the job of deliver-
ing full-size quart bottles of raw milk in the morning
before we went to school. We sold them for 10 cents
each. Our herd of Holstein cows always passed the
veterinary tests.
Our family was healthy (my mother was over 90
when she died) and I believe our diet, including the
raw milk, contributed to our good health. I participat-
ed in a variety of sports including skating and base-
ball. I won skating races on the outdoor rink in the
winter and was a pitcher for the Brant baseball team
in the summer.
I could share other anecdotes but will close for now
with the comment ‘I believe there is nothing wrong
with raw milk.’

To the Editor
Have you had the opportunity to read the book
“Prairie Sunset, A Story of Change” written by Dion
Manastyrski? Born in the grain belt of Saskatchewan,
the author tells us the story of our forefathers and
mothers when they immigrated to the Prairies in the
early 1900s. Consisting mainly of short stories, anec-
dotes and beautiful pictures, this book is an absolute
work of art. Having been given to family members
when they came over to visit by wonderful neigh-
bours, this book quickly became a must have in our
family.
If you have had a bad day at work or home, start
reading this book and chances are you will forget
all about your problems with a smile on your face
or tears in your eyes just like it did to us. Learning
in great detail how difficult it was for our ancestors
when they first arrived, all the hardships they went
help but wonder: will we ever be grateful enough to
them?
Next time you get angry at your phone when it
loses signal for more than a minute or because of a
slow drive-through, just remember that many of our
forefathers and mothers dug a hole in the side of a
hill and spent their first winter in there with a bed
and a small stove as they had no home, hoping to
snare one more rabbit to make it to the next day. Let’s
all be grateful and cherish what we have; our imper-
fect families, our wonderful neighbours, friends and
community, the food we have on our tables and the
person making your coffee tomorrow morning. And
next time you meet an older folk or maybe a new
neighbour, put your phone in your pocket and ask
them their story. That’s what we’ll do anyway. Where
are you from?

Don’t fear the reaper
PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
I’m not sure if you’re like me, but I’m not a big
Halloween fan. I honestly don’t know how the
once simple night of trick or treating has morphed
into such a huge commercial event. In fact, now
you’re a “grinch” if you don’t put out scary or
ghoulish decorations. To me, kids should go out,
be safe, get some candy and call it a couple of
hours. Not the production that it now is, with Hal-
loween TV specials and movies, house displays
that take weeks to set up and take down, and kids
yelling what’s basically a straight up threat at you
– you know, “trick-or-treat!”
Can you imagine doing that at any other time of
the year? A kid walks up to your house in spring
and yells: “Give me something or the Easter Bunny
gets it!” That would go over big.
Growing up in the ’60s and ’70s added anoth-
er fear aspect to Halloween. That fear was big-
ger kids taking your candy from you, or slitting
your bag with a knife and running off laughing.
My hometown was a pretty tough mining town in
those years, and the families were often transient;
fathers working for a while and then the layoffs
would come and they’d move to another mining
town. The one thing I clung to as a youngster was
that the police had a style of justice that got those
teenagers what they deserved. If the “bad kids”
were caught doing bad stuff, they were driven
up to the Spray Lakes roadway above the town
and dropped off. Yes, on a crisp October night,
those chumps would have to walk, run or roll
down a steep hill to get back to their mayhem. It
was Rocky Mountain Justice, and my friends and I
loved it. Well, most did, until two of my pals hap-
pened to get mistaken for “bad guys” and they
were taken up the mountain road and dropped
off, and they had to make their way down to town.
One happened to be the son of the principal and
he was not happy with his boy.
Part of why I’m not a Halloween fan is that I
hate getting scared. Which is weird, because I do
love the Walking Dead shows. My daughter and
her husband used to love to watch and wait for me
to get terrified and scream like a little kid in some
scenes. Speaking of zombies with body parts miss-
ing: if you get the Times on Thursday, you might
have time to try a “Zombie Halloween Arm” recipe
on YouTube. Send the kids out trick-or-treating
and tell them supper will be when they get back.
There’s a recipe where you take a pork loin roast,
ground beef, thin slices of Capicola ham and a
leek to make a roasted arm. Muhahaha (that’s an
evil laugh, by the way).
Basically, the roast is the arm, you make the
hand out of shaped ground beef and you lay the
strips of ham as the muscles. The leek becomes
the bone that sticks out of the end of the roast.
Spread marinara sauce as “blood” all over the arm
and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 min-
utes (take that, Martha Stewart!).
It’s actually a cool recipe and mmm mmm, is it
tasty! The leek blackens when it’s roasted, so it
looks like real bone. PLEASE don’t serve this dish
to little kids – I don’t want anyone traumatized and

bed in their rooms – or so I thought. I had a late assembly.ab.ca
morning class, so I stayed up to watch TV (did I
mention it was 1978 and all we had was black and
white?).
I’m not sure how long I stayed up, but it was a
while (Kirk was a patient prankster). When I fi-
nal walked down the hall to my room, he leaped
out of the hall closet and yelled BOO! I was never
so scared in all my life. I shrieked and then fell
down whimpering, all while Kirk laughed hysteri-
cally. Luckily, my bladder did not empty, but in-
side I swore revenge. I planned my revenge for a
few weeks later. I would sneak into his dark room
(okay, I know this part sounds creepy but revenge
is revenge!) and hide under his bed. Then when
he lay down and was quiet, I would reach up, grab
his arms and scare the crap out of him. You know
that old saying: “the best laid plans …?”
Well, scaring him did not work, and now he had
me trapped under the bed. I do not remember how
long he trapped me there, but I do know that ev-
ery time I tried to crawl out, I would get smacked.
It was then I decided I hated getting scared.
You’d think this huge failure would have taught
me not to try and scare anyone, but years later
I had to try again. This time, my daughter and a
friend had come with us to watch Brennen play
his U of C basketball game in Calgary. Walking
through the campus, I was sure the girls had gone
ahead to the parked van. There in the cold, dark,
night air, I spied the minivan. Walking stealthily
to the front door, I grabbed the handle, pulled it
open and shrieked as loudly as I could. Two strang-
ers, a man and a woman, had been trying to read
their city map. They jumped up from their seats,
the map went flying and I believe one of them (it
could’ve been the man) was crying. I apologized
profusely and was also trying to explain that I was
trying to scare my daughter, and it was then that
I was glad people don’t carry guns in Canada; I
could’ve been a statistic. So, I’m done with try-
ing to scare people. I’m not cut out to be Freddy
Krueger, Mike Myers or Jason. Instead, I’ll be like
all my other neighbours, held hostage while kids
threaten me with “trick-or-treat”. But hopefully no
one will scare me!

sion, and it has encouraged me to pur-
sue mine. It’s difficult to write down
everything I have learned this week,
but I’ve narrowed it down to a few
main points.
Everywhere in Canada is unique,
from Quebec and PEI, to my little town
in rural Alberta, yet we all still con-
nect with each other. We’ve all shared
the same experience of growing up
in Canada as well as the kindness of
Canadian strangers, and we all have a
common motivation for growth. This
week I discovered the faith I have, as
well as the faith that Canada as a whole
has in my generation, no matter where
we’re from.
I have also learned the importance
of community. One of the themes of
the week was communication, and
the idea that community stems from
communication. We spent a day at the
National Youth Summit against online
extremism, and participated in mean-
ingful conversations about bullying,
hateful content, fake news and nega-
tive media. We were able to share our
opinions with people who had influ-
ential careers in social media, govern-
ment, journalism and online protection
committees. They gave us opportuni-
ties to ask questions and give input on
things that affect our separate commu-
nities, as well as Canadian youth’s com-
munity. They helped us recognize how
important the youth of Canada is to the
future of our nation.
Throughout the week we were in-
troduced to many different people that
showed us different aspects of their
lives, careers and cultures. We had
an African/Caribbean dance instruc-
tor who taught us about her roots and
accepted any questions we asked gra-
ciously. She was very patient with our
lack of rhythm. We also had an Indig-
enous hoops performance where the
dancer explained the background and
meaning shown through her dance,
while giving us a chance to participate.
We had a war veteran come in and lead
us in a memorial ceremony to remind
us of the soldiers and the sacrifices
they have made that makes it possible
for our voices to be heard.
Becoming immersed in people’s sto-
ries was the most impactful part of
the week for me. The way to become
meaningfully connected as Canadians
is through stories about real lives and
experiences. We can enrich our lives
by learning more about others, which
is something that Encounters with
Canada encourages. Media and com-
munication outlets can strike up con-
versations, which lead to stories, which
leads to connections with others.
A few other things I learned are: ev-
eryone loves Tim Hortons and misses
their mom’s cooking (no exceptions),
and everyone misses their dogs and
their family more than they thought
they would. I’ve been so lucky to be
able to spend a week with all of these
dedicated, welcoming, unique, intuitive

and amazing people. Encounters has
helped guide me through my future
decisions by providing me with out-
lets, connections and guidance regard-
ing the careers involved in journalism,
media and communications. It’s also al-
lowed me to meet like-minded people
who have the same ambitions. I’ll miss

Eventful week
LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Strathmore! I hope you have all had an
amazing week leading up to Halloween. Did you
know that Halloween incorporates elements from
an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain? Druids
would light massive outdoor bonfires and wear
costumes believed to ward off evil spirits. Hal-
loween, or All Hallows Eve, is the day before All
Saints Day which falls on Nov. 1 as designated by
Pope Gregory III in the eighth century AD, and
as time went on some of those traditions mixed
with those of the Samhain Festival. It marks sum-
mer coming to an end and is traditionally a time
when barriers between this world and the next
are weaker and the spirits of the departed can
walk the earth.
Please remember to watch out for the little
ghosts, witches, and superheroes on our streets
this Halloween.
We as Canadians all shared the pain of the fami-
lies of those young people who lost their lives,
those who were injured and those who were af-
fected by the trauma of the Humboldt Broncos
bus crash. There has been some misinformation
about The Minister of Transportation’s legislation
around the requirements for the MELT program
which are stringent training requirements for our
heavy truckers and bus drivers for Class 1 and
2 licenses. Just to be very clear, those stringent
rules and requirements are here to stay, and we
are committed to road safety.
The previous NDP government had exempted
over 150,000 existing drivers, while also provid-
ing an extension for the training requirements
for farmers and school bus drivers. We regret that
at the same time as imposing the new require-
ment, the previous government made compliance
practically impossible by cutting the number of
driver examiners in half. Our government is mov-
ing quickly to fix this problem by hiring more
examiners. Safety is paramount for our govern-
ment and the Minister of Transportation will be
working with stakeholders to ensure an orderly
transition. Our love and compassion go to those
who suffered in this tragedy, and I would like to
personally thank those families who came to the
legislature to express their concerns about chang-
es and to meet with the transportation minister. I
cannot pretend to begin to understand what you
have endured and your presence and advocacy
are greatly appreciated.
I would like to talk about Bill 17: Disclosure to
Protect Against Domestic Violence (Clare’s Law)
Act. This bill allows people at risk of domestic
violence to be able to acquire information on an
intimate partner’s previous history of domestic
violence or other relevant acts. This provides real
opportunities to prevent abuse. The legislation is
empowering legislation that give much needed
tools to access information to help make informed
decisions about a potentially harmful relationship,
and this could save lives. We have validated a defi-
nition of abuse as: “Domestic violence refers to
abuse against spouses and dating partners in cur-
rent and former relationships. Spouses are current
or former legally married, separated, divorced
and common-law partners. Dating relationships Unit D,
involve current or former boyfriends, girlfriends 202 Canal Court,
or other intimate relationships.” Strathmore, AB
This is important because the definition works
in conjunction with other defined relationship vi-
olence in the Protection against Family Violence 403.934.6044
Act and the Residential Tenancies Act which have prowatersystems
both helped to inform the Disclosure to Protect @gmail.com
Against Domestic Violence Act. We are continu-
ing to meet with our experts and folks with lived
experience, and together we will start to define
the regulations for the legislation. I would like to Water Softeners, Iron Filters
thank the Minister for Community and Social Ser- & Drinking Water Systems
vices for her amazing work on this. We introduced
Bill 17 on Oct. 16, and it has passed. The expected
timeline for implementation is spring 2020.
Our government is working to expand the role
of licenced practical nurses (LPNs) to allow them
to work in all areas for which they are trained. Book Your
CLASSIFIED AD Today!
We want to strengthen our publicly funded health
system and part of that will include using all the
skills of health professionals. LPNs can do so much
more, having the skills, for example, to dispense
medication and administer blood and blood prod-
ucts. We are so proud to get this done and to start
looking at how we can use these highly trained
professionals within their full scope of practice.
As always, we love to hear from you.

County launches new ARTS ON 817 PRESENTS:

promotional brand
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
Wheatland County has launched a
new brand to promote its community
and development services’ department
activities, market investment and visita-
tion to the Wheatland County region.
The brand name, WC, with the ta-
gline “infinite landscapes – infinite
possibilities” was developed to “help
define Wheatland and highlight the
potential of the region,” stated a news
release from the county.
The brand was developed not only
for traditional economic development
purposes, but also to promote devel-
opment efficiencies and the emphasis
on customer service to residents and
potential investors, and tourism prod-
uct development in Wheatland County.
“This is an exciting time for Wheat-
land County. We have developed a
strategic economic development brand
through thoughtful collaboration, led
by our department staff with input
from Wheatland County council, key
staff and the valuable insight of our
economic development board who rep-
resent our business community,” said
Amber Link, Wheatland County reeve.
“We will use this brand to tell our sto-

will build on our heritage of hard work
and innovation. Wheatland County is
open for business. We’re here with a
renewed focus to support our existing
businesses and industry, to add value
to our agricultural producers and to at-
tract new investments, businesses and
visitors.”
The brand is being promoted within
its own website (infinitewc.ca) and so-
cial media channels alongside the ex-
isting Wheatland County website and
social media.
“The branding process has brought
the divisions within the (community
and development services) department
into one train of thought – to focus on
customer service, to improve and ac-
commodate sustainable development
opportunities and to explore ideas
that have a potential for success within
Wheatland,” said Matthew Boscariol,
Wheatland County’s general manager
of community and development ser-
vices.

Huntington disease is an inherited neurodegenera-
tive illness with progressively serious physical, cog-
nitive and emotional symptoms. You can get a very
good idea of what Huntington disease is all about by
reading a novel by Lisa Genova, called “Inside the
O’Briens”. It’s well-written by Ms Genova who is a
neuroscientist and understands very well the disease
and its effects.
This past summer, Health Canada put out an adviso-
ry that infrared saunas are not authorized in Canada
to treat any medical conditions including high blood
pressure, diabetes, autism, weight-loss, pain relief,
cancer or preventing aging. Health Canada is not
aware of any clinical evidence that proves infrared
saunas can be used to treat any medical condition.
Many recommendations on lifestyle changes al-
ways include “moderate” alcohol consumption.
Moderate is defined as no more than 14 drinks a
week for men and seven per week for women. How-
ever, many studies have shown that those who quit
drinking alcohol altogether found they experienced a
more favourable change in mental well-being, a feel-
ing enjoyed by those who have never drunk alcohol.
Men’s sperm counts in many developed countries
has dropped by almost 60% since 1973. The reasons
for this haven’t been established. Pesticides, estro-
gens in the water supply, phthalates in plastics are
some of the ideas being theorized. But it has encour-
aged a whole group of new tech-startup companies
offering home sperm-testing technology. Men usu-
ally think it’s the woman who is the problem with
infertility. But 40% of the time it’s the man.

Having helped over 60 per cent of cli-
ents secure jobs in the first 18 months
since opening, Rocky View and Wheat-
land Employment Services (RWES) with
Prospect Human Services accounts the
continued support, resource centre and
personal connections that have been
made with both clients and employers
as pertinent to their success.
RWES opened on May 1, 2018, and
since then over 6,000 clients, both new
and repeat, have walked through the
doors in search of resources and help to
secure a job using the free service.
“Our role as career advisers is to career
advise. We’ll meet with people who are
trying to figure out what to do next. We
offer career resources and skills work-
shops, we have had job fairs and have
the job board for job postings,” said Ali-

The dance floor was full of fantastic costumes including this ’80s flashback

309 lbs of food donations for the Wheatland County Food Bank.
Strathmore’s RWES branch offers sev-
eral services such as assessments com-
pleted by career advisers to help deter-
mine what barriers might be getting in
the way of a client finding a job; an em-
ployment resource centre where clients
can have access to computers, faxing,
scanning and printing services relating to
employment; a databank of employment
related services and job searches on the
available-to-use computers; a contact list
of employers within Strathmore and in-
formation on how they prefer to receive
job applications; a job board with all cur-
rent open jobs; a job fair every spring;
employment workshops; and, use of the
resource room as an interview space
and private hiring events for companies
looking to hire more than three new em-
ployees.

viser. “We’re really in tune with what
employers are looking for. It’s a small
enough community where we have that
ability to make good matches based on
the needs and we know what those are
because of the relationships we build.”
Workshops are held based on inter-
est and include career planning, resume
development, internet and googling,
how the Canadian workforce is and in-
terview skills, which is the most popu-
lar workshop within Strathmore. RWES
also teaches career and life management
(CALM) in the schools.
The job board is one of the most pop-
ular visual resources that clients like to
reference. Every job that is posted on
online job banks is printed and posted
on the job board, and employers within
Strathmore can even stop in to make up
full-size job postings. A job of the day
is also featured, and all posted jobs in-
clude what the job is, the expectations
and what the qualifications are.
One of the things the local career ad-
visers pride themselves on is working
with both clients who walk in and with
businesses to help understand the needs
of both. And they hope to take that con-
nection further.
“Both Kelly and I would love to go out
and meet with different employers and
introduce ourselves … we want to con-
nect with employers so they know we’re
here and that we’re another source if
they want to advertise jobs, to support
them and support the community mem-
bers to work,” said Hiscock. “The pride
we take in the kind of support we pro-
vide, we just feel really good about the
level of support people get when they
come here … if nothing else just come in
and use our resource room and ask for
help because we’re going to be cheering
you on.”
In the future, RWES is looking at work-
ing with the town’s economic develop-
ment officer to host employer workshops
with an economic development perspec-
tive. They also hope to expand and grow
to better assist clients with barriers, both
physical and mental.
RWES is located downtown in the
Strathmore Centre and is open Mondays
through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
No appointment is necessary.

Alberta getting tough

on farm trespassers
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
The Alberta government has prom-
ised it will act to protect farmers from
aggressive, illegal protests.
The announcement comes on the
heels of trespassing and protests held
at the Jumbo Valley Hutterite Colony
near Fort Macleod, Alta.
Not only has the government an-
nounced new protections for farmers
against trespassing, they are introduc-
ing legislation designed to punish ille-
gal protestors who invade farms.
“Alberta’s farmers and ranchers treat
their animals well, and they have a right
to run their operations without illegal
harassment from militant trespassers,”
said Premier Jason Kenney on Oct. 3 at
the Jumbo Valley Hutterite Colony.
Options being proposed include:
fines up to $10,000 for a first offence
and up to $25,000 for subsequent
offences for individuals and up to
$200,000 for organizations, and impris-
onment of up to six months; amending
the Animal Health Act so farmers af-
fected by bio-security breaches can re-
cover their costs, and so trespassers and
protesters placing biosecurity at risk
can be fined $15,000 for first offences,
then $30,000 plus imprisonment of up
to one year for repeat offences; amend-
ing the Provincial Offences Procedures
Act to increase the maximum amount
of compensation awarded by the court
from $25,000 to $100,000.
Animal activists organized them-
selves via word of mouth to conduct
what they called a “liberation lock-
down” for turkeys at Jumbo Valley
Hutterite Colony on Sept. 2. About 90
people entered the colony’s turkey op-
eration in the early morning; about 30
sat inside a barn filled with live turkeys
and another 60 held signs along near-
by Highway 2 asking for animal libera-
tion and an end to species-ism.
Alberta’s Agriculture Minister Devin
Dreeshen denounced the protesters’
actions on his Twitter account, saying
that “hardworking farmers and ranch- Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, along with Minister of Justice and Attorney General Doug Schweitzer

Grade 9 students get to work

CHRISTINE FOSHAUG
Times Contributor
A lot of Strathmore students will be
skipping school on Wednesday, Nov.
6, but for a good reason. It’s Take our
Kids to Work Day, so Grade 9 students
will be going to work instead of school.
Take our Kids to Work Day is an an-
nual event that gives Grade 9 students
across Canada the opportunity to get a
taste of what their futures might hold.
They spend the day at the workplace
of a parent, relative, friend or volunteer
host, learning what the work world is
like.
The initiative, which was launched in
1994 by The Learning Partnership, sees
close to 200,000 participate in the most
the workplace host evaluates them, which is followed by
the student composing a thank you letter. The final portion
requires students to put together a presentation that incor-
porates what they did and learned at their workplace.
“This program really teaches students to be respectful
and to work well with others,” added Lewis. “They learn
time management, responsibility, accountability, how to take
instruction, and the value of collaboration and teamwork.
These are valuable life skills and everyone appreciates that.”
George Freeman School will be participating in the pro-
gram for the first time, and associate principal Jill McDonald
says her students are excited.
“They think that going to work sounds much more inter-
esting than being at school for the day,” she said. “Doing
something different and new is appealing. Some of them are
going to workplaces that really interest them and they are
excited to learn and experience more.”
McDonald wants the students to come away from the
event with an appreciation for the world of work, an inter-
est in exploring their career options in greater depth and
the opportunity to get to know a bit more about their par-
ents’ lives.
“Take our Kids to Work Day provides a great opportunity
to get students to begin thinking about their future, learn
what workplaces are like and to network with people in the
world of work,” she explained.
So far, student workplaces this year include agriculture
and oil-related businesses, an insurance company, a restau-
rant, a feedlot and a construction site.
Both schools have a number of international students that
are participating this year. Telus has stepped up and volun-
teered to take the international students at CMJHS to their
office and make a day of it. McDonald is looking for com-
munity members who are interested in having a student
work with them for the day. She can be contacted at 403-
361-2202.

REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS ~ Ralph & Faye Buzzard

JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
The family name Buzzard originates from Ridge-
way, Mo. Grandparents Hank and Tennie Louise
Buzzard came to the Rosebud area in 1914 and
started farming. They had two sons.
Ralph’s dad – Ralph Buzzard Sr. – was born
in Missouri around 1908, and married Anna Ida
Kautz.
Ralph was born in Calgary on May 10, 1928, and
he married Babe Lauder in 1953; they had two
children, Laurell and Gary. Following their divorce
in 1958, Ralph married Faye Ockey (who had
three sons) in 1963, and they
had a daughter, Shauna. There
are 13 grandchildren.
While attending school in
Rosebud through Grade 11,
Ralph’s father taught him to
ride and break horses, an oc-
cupation that stayed with him
for life. Breaking horses earned
him $5 per head. But rodeo was
in his genes; starting at age 14
he finished third in his first ever bareback com-
petition at Handhills Lake Stampede. By age 20,
he owned 30 bucking horses which he trailed
from Youngstown to the Calgary Stampede. Along
the way, he picked up additional horses, and on
reaching Calgary had approximately 200 horses to
sell to the likes of Dick Cosgrave, Reg Kesler and
Bruce Flewelling. In 1950, at age 22, he became
an outrider for Bob Heberling who won the Cal-
gary chuckwagon races, and Ralph was one of the
riders who won the outrider championship that
year. In 1953, he participated in the chuckwag-
on races at Lacombe, and despite a two-second
penalty, still won the races. That night, they were
entertained by country and western singer Wilf
Carter, and I’m told the party went on until dawn.
Around this time, he worked in four different coal
mines, including Nacmine, East Coulee and Rose-
bud. In 1958, he worked on drilling rigs east of
Brooks, but ended up in hospital with extreme

Badgers advance in playoffs

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The cold weather and 60 km/hr wind gusts didn’t
stop the Strathmore Community Football Associa-
tion (SCFA) bantam Badgers from playing their best
game, both when the clock was running and when
it was stopped.
Playing against Hunting Hills during the first week
of the B playoffs on Oct. 26 at Great Chief Park in
Red Deer, the bantam Badgers made some big hits
and a small change to their roster which led the team
to a 32-8 victory.
The miserable weather and quick lead on the score-
board never dampened the team’s spirits, however, as
they were quick to help the other team up and even
exchanged high fives after good plays.
“It went awesome; the boys played really well, and
they went out and they hit the kids hard,” said head
coach Greg Zaugg. “But it was actually fun to watch;
there would be a big hit and (the other team) would
all be on the ground and our kids would be bending
over and helping the other team up … it was great
to watch them get to play that way, there was great
sportsmanship.”
The bantam Badgers will be playing another team
from Red Deer in the second week of playoffs for
the division B gold medal game on Nov. 2, facing
the Notre Dame Jr. Cougars for the second time this
season and hoping to steal back a win after losing by
only one touchdown earlier this season.
The winner of the division B gold medal game will
have a chance at the tier II provincial semi-finals on
Nov. 9.
Meanwhile the peewee Badgers battled the same
poor weather conditions in their first playoff game
of the season in Lacombe on Oct. 26 against the La-
combe Explosion.
Down 9-0 at half time, the team had to shake off
those elements they couldn’t control, such as the
weather, and focus on their own game – a strategy
that worked in their favour as they scored a touch-
down on the opening drive of the third quarter.
“Then we kicked off, recovered a fumble and
scored a second touchdown; and then we had a back
and forth game. We had a great drive in the fourth
quarter that took us from our five (yard line) to their
30 (yard line). With three minutes left we let them
run the ball down to our one-yard line and we did
a tackle; then we did a goal-line stand and ran out
the clock,” said head coach Doug Thiessen. “It was
a little too exciting for their coach … it was a little
nerve-wracking.”
The peewee Badgers will be heading into the B
division league finals in Red Deer at Great Chief Park
on Nov. 2 to take on the first place and undefeated
team, the Red Deer Hornets.
Should all go according to plan and the peewee
Badgers play their best game by making sure they’re
getting their tackles in, playing a strong defence and
making sure their offence stays on top of the other
team, they hope to come out with a win and to at-
tend provincials on Nov. 9.
