County planning for future
of recreation and culture
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Wheatland County is looking to its future by developing a 10-
year master plan for recreation and culture – and wants its resi-
dents to share its vision.
Wheatland County provides its residents with open spaces and
parks, cultural settings such as community halls and libraries, and
recreational facilities such as hockey arenas and soccer fields. To
provide a framework to manage and develop these assets and as-
sociated programming for the next 10 years, the county is current-
ly developing an Open Space, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan.
According to Amber Link, Wheatland County Reeve, providing
high-quality recreational and cultural opportunities for residents is
a focus of the county.
“Our public spaces – in times when we are not supposed to be
socially distancing – bring people together,” said Link. “They also
incentivize our tourism and our economic development, which are
top priorities for our council.”
Wheatland County is conducting an online survey until April 5
to “open up constructive dialogue with our rate payers,” said Link.
The survey, available on the county website, asks residents to
describe how they currently use county recreational and cultural
facilities, and what additional improvements they would like to see
in the future.
Participating in the survey provides residents an opportunity to
take ownership in the county, said Link.
“It allows our council and administration to learn about the
needs and wants of our residents,” she said. “We will be able to
put those ideas into action.”
The county’s engagement strategy originally included in-person
events such as town halls, round table coffee shop talks and en-
gaging county youth, but the unprecedented times presented by
the COVID-19 pandemic has moved outreach online for the time
being, said Link.
“We’re hoping to engage in some of those more traditional as
well as some unique in-person ways once some of these public
health measures are no longer required,” she said.
Multi-use pathways have been one point of emphasis for resi-
dents discussing recreation, said Link.
“When I heard from residents, especially in some of our bigger
hamlets, that’s a high priority that they have identified,” she said.
“I know the Carseland community is working on some initiatives,
and I’ve had some preliminary conservation with some of my com-
munity members in Gleichen as well.” Pawsitively good walk

God’s Closet provides donated clothing for growing children
EMMA SWANSON
Times Reporter
For the past decade, God’s Closet, a
ministry engaged with the Seventh-day
Adventist Church, has provided donat-
ed clothing to children in Strathmore.
“Children grow really fast and clothes
are expensive,” said Debbie Schwartz,
God’s Closet executive coordinator of
the Strathmore branch.
God’s Closet hosts a “free-shop day”
event every three months with a $1 en-
try fee per family.
People can fill up two supplied
shopping bags with “as many clothes
as they can,” said Schwartz.
The new and used clothing is do-
nated to God’s Closet by individuals,
families and businesses throughout the
year.
“Anybody that wants to come in
and purchase the clothes can,” said
Schwartz. “We don’t discriminate
against anyone.”
Schwartz has collected children’s
clothing donated to God’s Closet for
four years. In this time, she said she
“most appreciates the ability to get
clothes for children.”
God’s Closet “sees the need of the
people,” added Schwartz, those who
are out of work in a hard economy or
told to stay home from work due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The next free-shop day event was
scheduled for May 27; however, due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, Schwartz
said God’s Closet is unsure as to
whether the next free-shop day will be
postponed.
“We don’t know if they’re going to
let us do the event,” said Schwartz.
Schwartz said that while “it’s a re-
warding thing to do,” she hopes peo-
ple come into better financial states.
“Not only do people share clothes
with us, they take the clothes they
need,” said Schwartz.
The free-shop day event has carried
donated shoes, maternity clothes, crib
sheets, baby blankets and children’s
clothing ranging in size from newborn
to teen.
Donations to God’s Closet are kept
in a trailer for storage; the day before
the free-shop day event, volunteers for
God’s Closet sort through the donated
clothes by size.
“It’s an intensive day,” said Schwartz,
“easy, but a lot of labour.”
Volunteers for God’s Closet also help
keep tables supplied while people go
through the items during the free-shop
day. “We can never have enough vol-
unteers,” said Schwartz.
In the past year, the free-shop day
event has been hosted at Westmount
School and at Lord of All Lutheran
Church.
Schwartz said the drop-off location
for donations to God’s Closet is at 107
Cambria Rd. In cases where one can-
not access the drop-off location, God’s
Closet is also able to pick up clothing
donations.
God’s Closet does not accept furni-
ture, toys or car seats for donations.
There are currently 42 God’s Closet
chapters located in Canada, the U.S.
and Australia. Visit the Strathmore
chapter on Facebook.

County supports request for crime reduction
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Gleichen RCMP is asking for a new
position to be created to fight rural
crime – and Wheatland County is voic-
ing its support.
The Gleichen RCMP detachment has
requested the creation of a position
specializing in crime reduction. On
March 23, Wheatland County council
voted unanimously in favour of provid-
ing a letter in support of the creation
of the position.
The request was made so the detach-
ment can be more proactive in address-
ing rural crime, including drug traffick-
ing and organized crime, said Gleichen
RCMP Staff Sgt. Tim Kelly.
“Gleichen detachment is a busy de-
tachment, and our members are going
call-to-call quite often, and they don’t
have a lot of time on their hands to be
proactive,” said Kelly. “We want a posi-
tion to help us stay ahead of the curve
with rural crime.”
The position would be staffed with a
regular RCMP member with experience
in force handling, search warrants and
other major file experience, he said.
“We would hopefully get somebody
who comes with experience and can
hit the ground running,” said Kelly.
The rural crime specialist will “help
develop immediate strategies to help
mitigate and reduce rural crime,” said
Amber Link, Wheatland County Reeve
and Division 2 Councillor. The posi-
tion, she added, is needed.
“Our council is committed to tak-
ing whatever creative and constructive

said Link. “We want residents to feel
safe in their homes and their communi-
ties, and I think a position like that will
assist in doing that.”

Strathmore Overnight Shelter receives funding

SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
The Town of Strathmore is providing the Strathmore
Overnight Shelter with bridge funding to cover costs in the
event homeless persons require isolation until new provin-
cial funding becomes available.
On March 23, the government of Alberta announced $25
million in funding for homeless-serving agencies to respond
to COVID-19, as shelters need more space per person dur-
ing the pandemic to meet isolation and social distancing
guidelines.
The town has since announced it is providing $5,000 of
immediate “bridge funding” to the Strathmore Overnight
Shelter (SOS) to fund isolation measures while the new
funding is implemented. The town will be repaid using the
new provincial funding once it becomes available.
The bridge funding provides the shelter with a viable plan
to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, said Elizabeth Karp,
SOS executive director.
“It’s working together; it’s very much appreciated and is
very necessary,” said Karp.
If required, the shelter will set up isolation for people

How do you talk about a pandemic with children? How can you
teach kids the importance of physical distancing without making
them scared of their community? Helping all members of our
community understand how to navigate the COVID-19 will help
us to get through this together.
We’ve launched a new contest named #StrathmoreCreativeKids
to help answer these questions. We’re encouraging Strathmore’s
kids to help us share a different public health message each
week. It gives parents a good way to talk about COVID-19 with
their children, and helps share important information through
images and words that are kid-friendly.

Online support for businesses
hurting from COVID-19
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Several local organizations are providing online support
for Strathmore businesses reeling from the impacts of CO-
VID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced business closures, de-
stroyed jobs, devastated markets, and changed consumer be-
haviour and spending. That means that for many area busi-
nesses, the future is uncertain at best.
But help is underway, as several regional organizations
have already provided local businesses with new resources
during these tumultuous times, including online resources
for entrepreneurs to hone new skills, develop partnerships
and share knowledge so they have a fighting chance.
“Businesses in Strathmore aren’t just employers and inves-
tors, they’re part of our culture,” said Strathmore Mayor Pat
Fule. “We’re working hard to help all our businesses weather
this storm.”
Strathmore town council has enacted policy initiatives to
support local businesses, including a suspension on late
penalties on tax and utility payments until May 31 to free
cash flow for businesses. Town administration is currently
pursuing additional policy actions to support businesses,
which will be announced and implemented during the be-
ginning of April.
The Town of Strathmore is helping businesses navigate
aid programs provided by the provincial and federal govern-
ments, including the staffing of a business hotline from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday to Friday, with a “target launch date”
of April 3. The hotline can be reached at 403-361-2138.
Wheatland County is working alongside the Town of
Strathmore, Bow Valley College and Community Futures, a
non-profit business development organization, to help busi-
nesses throughout the region, said Wheatland County Reeve
Amber Link.
“We are hoping to all mobilize together so we can support

infrastructure and development services.
“Our goals right now in economic development are to
share information about upcoming tools, platforms (and)
digital resources that people have access to,” said Procter.
On March 25, the group provided a seminar hosted by
Wendy Gerbrandt with Community Futures to walk entre-
preneurs through how to set up an ecommerce website for
their business, he said.
Wheatland County provided a conference webinar on
March 26 for businesses to share information about what
could be done to adapt, network and support regional busi-
nesses challenged by the ongoing pandemic.
The Strathmore Entrepreneur Centre at Bow Valley College
is providing a series of virtual workshops “to support train-
ing and knowledge sharing” throughout the local business
community. These virtual business cafes, held from 7:30 to 9
a.m. on Wednesdays throughout April, aim to provide casual
and open-ended conversation about facing challenges, find-
ing resources and developing new approaches.
On Facebook, the response included the creation of a CO-
VID-19 Strathmore Business Information group dedicated
to “keeping Strathmore and area connected during the CO-
VID-19 pandemic with open communication between busi-
nesses and consumers,” which now has almost 2,000 mem-
bers. It features multiple daily posts on business statuses,
available support programs and services, and descriptions
of how businesses are working to protect workers and the
public from the virus.

Celebrating Easter online
EMMA SWANSON
Times Reporter
In light of COVID-19, Yellow Hook Towing is
bringing Easter festivities to homeschooled chil-
dren and families through online methods.
On March 20, Yellow Hook Towing announced
on their Facebook page that they are hosting their
first online Easter contest for the best children’s
drawings of a tow truck.
“It’s about giving kids who are homeschooled
right now something to do,” said Rebecca Manzer,
manager at Yellow Hook Towing who began the
Easter contest.
“I’m the mother of a four-year-old daughter; the
reality is that they’re not getting the same Easter
that they used to,” said Manzer.
To enter the contest, children aged one to 12 are
to do their “best drawing” of a tow truck.

Hello Chestermere and Strathmore readers.
Think about where you were two or even three
weeks ago. You may have been planning a vaca-
tion, or a wedding, or helping out at your local
school or food bank, knowing that the corona-
virus was looming, but not really understanding
what was coming.
The question that was on all of our minds at
a personal level, and all levels of government,
is how do you respond? We knew about social
distancing fairly quickly and washing our hands
fairly quickly, and believe it or not, this is still the
most important thing you can do. If we put our
energy into it now, we will save lives and help
the healthcare system cope with our sick. I want
to thank AHS and the Ministry of Health, Minister
Tyler Shandro, our Premier, the opposition, and
especially Dr. Hinshaw who has been such a calm-
ing and sane voice through all of this. We have
been ahead of the curve, testing more than any-
where in the free world. If you have been having a
difficult time accessing services, we are very sorry
for any delays, but as you can imagine the pro-
gram is having to adapt to the enormous volume.
Please be patient and keep trying. If you are hav-
ing any issues, please email us and we will help
you in any way that we can.
I would like to unpack some of the tax relief
and other important announcements that have
been made to help all of us get through the CO-
VID-19 crisis. The government is deferring cor-
porate income tax balances until Aug. 31 along
with installment payments. We have also frozen
education property taxes at the 2019 levels and
that will put approximately $87 million back into
the hands of households and businesses. Along
with this we are also deferring education property

The branch was not mandated to close, but the

Macaroni Kid brings fun
to social distancing
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
As social distancing becomes the new norm, the Macaroni
Kid group in Strathmore-Wheatland is trying to get children
and families involved in safe and fun activities by organiz-
ing several events that can be done while following social
distancing protocols.
Macaroni Kids’ Strathmore Walk/Drive Scavenger Hunts
can be done every couple of days when a new theme is
scheduled. The initiative involves children putting a colour-
ful poster in their window or on an outside front door. Then
participants walk or drive around town searching for the
posters – which should be visible from the sidewalk or road
– taking photos of them and posting them on Macaroni Kids’
Facebook page.
“The hope is to spread a little kindness and spark a little
bit of joy through this and the other events I am hosting,”
said Abbie McCullough, Macaroni Kid Publisher for Strath-
more-Wheatland. She said all information and a schedule for
the scavenger hunts can be found on the group’s Facebook
page or at strathmore.macaronikid.com.
Typically, McCullough and her two kids have found be-
tween 20 and 40 signs a day and they always make sure to
drive past local senior’s care facilities to show them their
signs.
Some upcoming scavenger hunts include Haiku Poem Day
on April 18, Earth Day on April 22, Star Wars Day on May 4
and more.
There will also be a special Easter egg scavenger hunt on
April 11 which will also include a colouring contest with
several sponsored prize baskets for the winners.
“Even though we are physically social distancing does not
mean we should emotionally distance ourselves. Together
apart while staying virtually connected,” said McCullough.
Other events hosted by Macaroni Kid include Chalk the
Walk for Awareness where people are encouraged to deco-
rate the sidewalks to remind people who are living with
health conditions or are working in essential services that
they are being thought about. There is a daily Lego Chal-
Local grocery stores support customers and staff
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
The COVID-19 pandemic is presenting grocery stores with
unique challenges, between increased demand for certain
items, increasing requirements for cleaning and sanitation,
and putting pressure on staff.
As a result, Strathmore grocery stores are changing opera-
tions to help staff and members of the public cope with the
challenges posed by the virus.
Some stores have implemented quantity limits on high de-
mand items, such a toilet paper, cleaning supplies and select
food items such as meats. As well, efforts have been made to
limit areas or amenities that could represent a higher risk of
transmission, including the closing of seating areas, in-store
sampling and self-serve installations for food items, includ-
ing bulk bakery cases and salad bars.
Sobeys Strathmore is offering temporary curb-side pickup
services. Orders are placed online via a curbside pick-up or-
der form that, if received by 6 p.m., will be ready the follow-
ing day. A minimum $50 purchase is required, paid via debit
card only, and all tobacco, lottery and gift card products are
not eligible for pick up. Walmart is also offering grocery
home deliveries, which may be ordered online.
Strathmore grocery stores are also working to help se-
niors and people with disabilities avoid crowds by provid-
ing times for them to shop. While these businesses are not
prohibiting others from visiting during these times, they are
asking other community members to shop outside these

or help communicating with Veterans Affairs Canada, said
Auger.
The branch is keeping updated on information about the
situation from Veteran Affairs Canada as provided by legion

appointments are being accepted until further notice and
anyone able to work from home is being encouraged to do
so, as per the RCL website.

lenge to educationally challenge children and encourage
them to keep their brains and hands busy. Specific dates for
all events are on the Macaroni Kid Facebook page.
As most normal birthday party options for kids are no lon-
ger available, Macaroni Kid is also hosting Strathmore birth-
day party parades on the second Wednesday of each month.
Parades will occur between 11 and 11:30 a.m. and the pa-
rade route will be adjusted monthly to reflect the birthdays.
People simply drive down the route and wave at the birthday
houses or show happy birthday signs for all to enjoy.
“With the current conditions and all the stress, it is impor-
tant to put our mental health and the mental health of our
kids in the forefront of our minds. Do activities that bring
a sense of normalcy and spread kindness and joy; help our
kids feel connected,” said McCullough. “My kids are loving
having something to look forward to and are enjoying virtu-
ally planning these themes with their friends.”
hours if possible.
The hours for these dedicated shopping periods vary:
Shoppers Drug Mart, 9 to 10 a.m.; Tina’s No Frills, 8 to 9
a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays; Strathmore Sobeys, 7 to 8
a.m.; Co-op, 8 to 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-
days; Walmart, 7 to 8 a.m. on weekdays.
To ensure staff has adequate time to stock shelves and
clean and sanitize, stores have reduced regular hours for the
time being: Sobeys, Co-op (including dedicated shopping
periods) and Walmart are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day,
while No Frills is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.
To help staff better cope, grocery stores are working to
better compensate staff facing increased customer volume
and potential exposure to the virus.
Calgary Co-op (Strathmore) has developed a program
to reward frontline employees for their efforts: all hourly
frontline team members are receiving a $2.50 per hour “sal-
ary booster” retroactive to March 8 until May 2, 2020. They
will also receive additional discounts and offers, including a
$100 gift card for union members.
For Tina’s No Frills and Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaw
Companies Limited announced a temporary compensation
increase for store and distribution centre employees by “ap-
proximately 15 per cent,” retroactive to March 8.
Sobeys employees will benefit from the company’s Hero
Pay Program, which includes an additional $50 a week, re-
gardless of the hours worked, and an additional $2 per hour
premium for all hours over 20 hours. The program is retro-
active to March 8 and will be reassessed at the end of April.
through various fundraising events, including dart tourna-
ments, meat draws and a Valentine’s disco. The group raised
about $2,000 from its recent St. Patrick’s Day 50/50 draw,
despite having to cancel the actual celebration, said Auger.
The organization is still planning on doing fundraising
“here and there,” while many are laying-low to slow the
spread of COVID-19, he added.
While the organization’s mandate is to support military
and RCMP veterans and their families, anyone can join the

LORD, Therese
“Terry” Marie
February 14, 1931
- March 21, 2020
It is with great sadness we an-
nounce the passing of Terry. Mom passed away
peacefully in her sleep. She was predeceased by

leaves behind her loving daughter Deborah Ritchie;
sons Darcy (Marlene), and Darryl (Charlyne); grand-
children Josh, Derek, Steffi and Christopher; great

Terry was definitely a social butterfly who loved
playing cards with family and friends. She will be
lovingly missed by everyone she touched. A huge
thankyou to all the staff at Wheatland Senior’s
Lodge for all the love and care you gave Mom.
There will be a celebration of life to be announced
at a later date.

Obituary
MALONE, Chris
October 12, 1964
- March 24, 2020 (age 55)
Chris Malone beloved husband of
Veronica Malone passed away unex-
pectedly on March 24, 2020 at the age of 55.
Besides his wife Veronica, Chris is survived by his 2
daughters Jacqueline (Travis Hoyme) and Jenessa
(Josh Makeiv) of Lethbridge; granddaughters Rhyan
and Willow; mother Valerie Malone (Lothar Radtke) of
Strathmore and two brothers Derek Malone (Kim) of
Spruce Grove and Deane Malone (Danielle Petitclerc)
of Strathmore as well as numerous nieces and neph-
ews and their families.
He was predeceased by his father Patrick Malone of
Strathmore.
Chris was born on October 12, 1964 to Patrick and
Valerie Malone in Pincher Creek, Alberta. Their family
relocated throughout Canada with Patrick and Valerie
being in the Air Force.
They settled in Strathmore where Chris completed
school and eventually moved to Calgary. He was a
meat cutter for many years with Calgary Co-Op be-
fore meeting the love of his life, Veronica. Chris and
Veronica got married October 24, 1987 and had two
daughters, Jacqueline and Jenessa. They moved
to Lethbridge in 1993 and a short time after, Chris
started his career at Totem Building Supplies where
he excelled at his job for 18 years.
A few years later Chris settled into a new job at AGI
Nobleford and he and Veronica moved to Coalhurst.
He truly loved his job and the friendships he devel-
oped over the years at AGI, and his coworkers were
like family to him.
Chris was a dedicated family man who spent his time
with his family, his precious granddaughters and his
beloved dog Bruce. He loved his motorcycle and the
feeling of freedom and peace that his rides would
give him. He will be remembered for his infectious
smile, amazing sense of humour and his selflessness
towards everyone he came in contact with.
Chris’ wish was for no funeral service, instead his
wish was for his friends and family to celebrate the
wonderful life he had and for many smiles, laughs
and memories to be shared.
To those who wish, memorial donations may be made
to The Heart and Stroke Foundation, 119 14 St NW
#100, Calgary, AB T2N 1Z6, or to Windy City Canine
Rescue, 2122 18 Ave S, Lethbridge, AB T1K 1C6.
