SEAN FEAGAN

Strathmore’s young philanthropist Emma Moore is

launching a campaign to raise awareness about youth
mental health and generate funds for support services
in the community.
Operation Christmas Child For her 16th birthday, Moore is launching Change

ducing the stigma around mental health issues faced
by young people and raising money to make more

(as of February 16, 2021) and want help, but do not know what is out there,
explained Moore. While area schools offer support,

WHAT ARE YOU GIVING UP
FOR LENT?
That question used to be
common around this time of year.
But perhaps not so much this
year, simply because we have
all been forced to give up many
things for so long – indeed, since
last Lent. If giving things up was
the hallmark of the season of
Lent, one might say that Lent
2020 is still going strong.
One of the purposes of fasting
during Lent – giving things
up – was to learn to rely more
upon God. That was a principal
purpose of the Sabbath,
particularly the seven-year
agricultural Sabbath when
everyone left all their fields
fallow and had to trust that the
harvest God gave in year 6 would
be sufficient to sustain them until
year 8. Just as the Sabbath was
a time to turn one’s heart, mind,
and soul toward God, so too was
the liturgical season of Lent.
But the tradition of Lent called
for more than just fasting. It also
called for an increased focus
on prayer. And it called for an
increased practice of giving
alms. Indeed, one of the earliest
manuals of Christian discipleship

taught fasting as a means by
which poorer Christians could
reduce their expenses enough to
be able to give alms to those who
were even worse off than they.
This long Covid Lent of enforced
restrictions that was 2020 has
had differing effects on different
people. Some have seen their
incomes drastically reduced and
are suffering serious financial
difficulties. Others fortunate
enough to see their incomes
maintained have seen savings
pile up as opportunities to
spend money were restricted.
If you find yourself in this latter
category, perhaps you might
consider marking Lent 2021 with
the practice of almsgiving –
giving to those worse off in our
community either directly, or
through any of the many good
agencies that exist specifically to
help in times of need.
Maybe the question God would
like us to ask this Lent is not so
much What are you giving up for
Lent? but rather What are you
giving away for Lent?

forced to cancel their rodeos and other events.
Several local agricultural societies are planning on apply-
ing for the funding, including the Strathmore and District
Agricultural Society (SDAS).
“It shows there is attention being paid by the government
to organizations like ourselves, agricultural societies, put-
ting on major events that drive a lot of tourism to the area,
and also our western heritage,” said Ryan Schmidt, general
manager.
Strathmore’s ag society is in the process of applying for
the funding, hoping it will help them prepare for a 2021
relaunch.
“We’re hopeful we’ll be able to attain some of the funding
to relaunch the Strathmore Stampede in all its glory,” said
Schmidt, who added the Strathmore ag society lost more
than 50 per cent of its revenue last year.
Schmidt said the grant funding is directed towards all of
the expenses of running a rodeo, but also takes into ac-
count year-round administrative and operational costs.
“It’s providing funding for your event, but also recogniz-
es ongoing costs of an organization needed to support the
launch event.”
The return on investment for taxpayers could be sig-
nificant, as rodeos can have a high local impact. Indeed,
the economic impact of the Strathmore Stampede alone is
about $4 million, said Schmidt. This revenue comes from
the indirect effects of spending at hotels, restaurants, gas
stations, campgrounds and other local businesses, as well as
direct impacts of vendor commerce at the stampede itself.
“The funding is about bringing that back to the local
economy, and as according to our plan, growing it even
further,” he said.
The ag society hopes to host a full Strathmore Stampede
this summer.
“We recognize there are many factors outside our con-
trol – obviously, the progress of the pandemic and what-
ever health restrictions are in place,” said Schmidt, adding a

backup plan is being developed.
While he was mum on details,
Schmidt said a series of smaller events
could be held, similar to what was
done for the Bucking Best Bullriding
Jackpot held last year.
Villages and hamlets within Wheat-
land County also have agricultural so-
cieties, including Carseland, Standard,
Rockyford, Hussar and Gleichen. Brad
Munchrath of the Rockyford Agricul-
tural Society said that organization
would apply for the funding as well.
Funding for local
mental health
organizations
SEAN FEAGAN
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Two local organizations that provide
mental health support services are re-
ceiving funding grants from the provin-
cial government.
Wheatland County Counselling re-
ceived $100,000 while Growing Fami-
lies Society for East Rural Counties re-
ceived $85,460.
The grants are part of the Alberta
government’s $53 million COVID Men-
tal Health Action Plan. These programs
are a part of the government’s strategy
to support the mental wellness and ad-
diction recovery of Albertans during
and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The funding to Wheatland County
Counselling is being used to support
the organization’s subsidized counsel-
ling program, said Rachel Dundas, ex-
ecutive director. The program, eligibil-
ity for which is based on income, will
be running through to the end of Sep-
tember of this year.
Dundas said that over the past year,
there has been an increased need for
mental health support services.
“As the pandemic goes on longer and
longer, it causes a lot more stress and a
lot more anxiety,” she said. “Especially
in the second round of lockdown, when
a lot of people who had gone back to
work were laid off again.”
The Growing Families Society sup-
ports families in Strathmore and east
rural communities. Its mission is to
promote, support and advocate healthy
lifestyles within rural communities by
enhancing the unity of the family struc-
ture through various client directed
programs and community develop-
ment.
“The Growing Families Society sup-
ports families in Strathmore with their
mission to promote, support and ad-
vocate healthy lifestyles,” said Leela
Aheer, Minister of Culture, Multicultur-
alism, and Status of Women, and MLA
for Chestermere-Strathmore.

Final Project, Girl and the Robot
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Girl and the Robot, a play written and performed
by Rosebud School of the Arts (RSA) graduating stu-
dent Kalena Lewandowski, will be available for on-
line viewing, Feb. 21 to 28.
Girl and the Robot is Lewandowski’s Final Project.
Lewandowski previously acted in Rosebud Theatre’s
2019 production of A Christmas Story. She also per-
formed in Rosebud School of the Arts’ productions
of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and Unity 1918.
Lewandowski, a musician-composer, incorporated
five original songs into this play.
“The story (Girl and the Robot) is based around
me and my experiences, but the character’s not me,”
Lewandowski said. “This girl is dealing with a lot of
different sides to herself that she doesn’t like, or sides
to herself that she likes to keep hidden.”
Lewandowski added those parts suggest to her the
image of a robot, an aspect of herself that the girl
struggles to accept and understand.
Girl, the character, has been asked to write and per-
form music, but at first, her songs, poems and stories

have no meaning for her. But as she performs for
others, she learns that performing helps her to better
understand herself and her words.
“Watching the show, you are watching this girl
learn truths about herself that she didn’t expect to
learn,” Lewandowski said, adding she went on her
own growth journey by performing this play.
As the story shows Girl’s growth, Lewandowski has
to perform music poorly, playing nervously and mix-
ing up lyrics. That, she said, is remarkably difficult.
It’s also stretching to share her own words, in song
and in dialogue, with an audience.
“I realized how much I’ve grown, just in putting my-
self out there and being willing to get things wrong,”
Lewandowski said. “I’m putting a lot of myself on the hort in mid-February. That performance was filmed

Operation Christmas Child
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
Despite the challenges posed by CO-
VID-19, the 2020 Operations Christmas
Child campaign was another success.
Strathmore and area residents packed
296 shoeboxes with toys, hygiene
items, school supplies and many oth-
er items, part of the 74,791 shoeboxes
from Alberta that make up the 373,188
shoeboxes from Canada that will go to
children in Central America and west-
ern Africa.
“Given the tremendous pandemic
challenges all of us faced in 2020, we
are extremely thankful to Canadians
– many of whom are unemployed or
facing economic uncertainty – for their
generosity in continuing to support this
program,” said Randy Crosson, director
of Operation Christmas Child Canada.
“Each shoebox that someone fills is an
opportunity to show hurting children
that they are loved by God and by us,
and the gifts Canadians have provided
will once again bless children – many
of whom have never before received a
present.”
Operation Christmas Child’s has an
internet option that enables people to
pack shoeboxes all year round at Pack-
aBox.ca. People can choose shoebox
gift items while also uploading person-
al notes and photos.
Since 1993, Operation Christmas
Child has collected and hand-delivered
more than 186 million gift-filled shoe-
boxes to children in over 130 countries
hurt by war, poverty, natural disaster,
disease and famine.

Capsule Comments
Sleep apnea is often the cause of having
a poor sleep. Standard treatment of diag-
nosed cases of sleep apnea is the use of
Continuous Positive Pressure (CPAP) ma-
chines that help keep the airways open. An
alternative soon to be available in Cana-
da is Inspire. This doesn’t involve hoses
or masks but it is an implantable device
that monitors breathing and stimulates the
tongue to move to open the airways.
Hair-loss is often a side effect of chemo-
therapy for cancer. This is because the
chemo drugs work on rapidly-dividing
cancer cells and often can’t differentiate
between cancer cells and non-cancer cells.
The hair follicles are also rapidly dividing
cells and can be affected by chemothera-
py. The good news is that the hair gener-
ally grows back when the chemotherapy
cycle is completed.
Back in the late 19th and early 20th centu-
ries, there wasn’t much control over what
ingredients went into patent medicines. A
good example was Mrs. Winslow’s Sooth-
ing Syrup. It was for “fussy” babies and it
contained mainly morphine and alcohol. It
really worked for the babies and the moth-
ers, too. In about 1906 the use of mor-
phine was more stringently controlled and
was removed from the product.

first birth control pill, Enovid-10, occurred

Critical Worker
Benefit launched
LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
This week, Alberta’s government
launched the Critical Worker Ben-
efit. Under this benefit, approximately
380,000 workers who provide Alber-
tans’ critical services will receive a
one-time payment of $1,200. The ben-
efit will be available to workers in the
health care, social services, education
and private sectors who deliver critical
services to Albertans.
The Critical Worker Benefit is a joint
federal-provincial program that will see
$465 million to support private and
public sector workers. These frontline
workers have worked tirelessly to help
support fellow Albertans throughout
the pandemic, and through this benefit,
Alberta’s government is recognizing
their hard work.
In the private sector, employers will
need to apply to receive the funds and
distribute them to eligible workers. Eli-
gible workers include grocery cashiers,
pharmacy assistants, gas station atten-
dants, truck drivers, couriers, private
health clinic staff and more. In total,
approximately 140,000 private sector
workers are eligible for the benefit. Em-
ployers will have until Friday, March 19,
2021, to apply for the benefit on behalf
of their eligible employees.
In the public sector, eligible employ-
ees will automatically receive the pay-
ment from Alberta’s government. They
do not need to apply. Roughly 161,000
healthcare sector employees, including
orderlies, patient service associates, re-
spiratory therapists, nurses, food ser-
vice workers, unit clerks, housekeep-
ing, maintenance workers and more,
will be eligible for the Critical Worker
Benefit. Additionally, approximately
45,000 workers in the social services
sector, including child development
workers, family and youth counsellors,
crisis intervention and shelter workers,
and seniors lodge staff, will also be eli-
gible.
In the education system, up to 36,000
workers will be eligible to receive the
Critical Worker Benefit. This includes
teacher assistants, custodians and
cleaning staff, administration support
and bus drivers.
Whether they are a public sector
worker in a school or hospital, or a pri-
vate sector worker in a grocery store or
gas station, all of these workers have
gone above their regular call of duty to
support their neighbours and fellow Al-
bertans since the COVID-19 pandemic
began. This benefit will put money di-
rectly in their pockets.
To be eligible for the benefit, employ-
ees must have worked a minimum of
300 hours from Oct. 12, 2020, to Jan.
31, 2021. Detailed eligibility informa-
tion and how to apply are available at
alberta.ca/criticalworkerbenefit.

Obituary
SCHEER,
John Harold Webster
February 3, 1927
– February 8, 2021
On a bright Alberta blue-sky winter day and sur-
rounded by his family’s love, John Scheer passed
away peacefully on Monday, February 8, 2021 at
the age of 94. John will be remembered and dearly
missed by his family, as loving husband and best
friend to his wife of 58 years, Ann, as the best Dad
ever to his daughters Nancy (Norm), Jill (Brad), Beth
(Rod) and Becky (Gord), and cherished Grandpa to
Carter (Morgan), McKenzie, Hayley, Jenna (Graydon),
Jack, Bennett and Megan. John will also be deeply
missed by his extended family members and his
many dear friends.
John H.W. Scheer was born February 3, 1927 in
Strathmore, Alberta at a small maternity care home.
His mother, Marguerite, had travelled to town three
days earlier over a ten-mile narrow gravel snow-
bound road by horse-drawn wagon.
John attended primary school at the Elwood School,
then Junior High at Crowfoot School and in 1946 he
completed High School in Cluny.
As a young man, John, and his father, Harold, raised
cattle and grain-farmed together on land east of
Strathmore that was originally homesteaded by his
grandfather in 1909. In 1947, John began first renting
and then purchasing farmland of his own. He would
continue to live and work on the family homestead
for 76 years until retiring in 2003 and moving into
Strathmore with Ann.
In 1946, John joined the Strathmore Lions Club, re-
maining a member for 26 years. Through sponsorship
of his Uncle Norman, John joined the Strathmore Ma-
sonic Lodge #53 in May 1952. He remained a mem-
ber for over 60 years. He sang tenor in the Strath-
more United Church choir and joined youth groups
which put on musical comedy shows. He was athletic
and played baseball, tennis, hockey, and badminton.
These interests lasted a lifetime as he continued to
enjoy many sports, sing in choirs and act in commu-
nity musicals and plays well into his later years.
In 1953, he became a Reservist with the Light Anti-
Aircraft Battery, later the South Alberta Light Horse
Unit, and undertook Officer training with the King’s
Own Calgary Regiment receiving his commission as
Lieutenant in 1962. He joined the Strathmore Royal
Canadian Legion #10 in 1972. For over 36 years, he
and his friend George Freeman delivered Remem-
brance Day services at many local schools. He was
honoured to be awarded by the Legion with Life
Membership and the Palm Leaf Meritorious Service
medal.
In 1981 he became a United Farmers of Alberta del-
egate and then a director in 1989. In addition, he was
a member of the Alberta Wheat Pool, Unifarm, and the
Strathmore Rural Firefighters.
Family and friends were very important to John, as
was serving this community that he was proud to
call home for his entire life. His sense of humour was
renowned and he loved a good joke or prank, bring-
ing a sparkle to his blue eyes every time he expertly
delivered his trademark one-line zingers. John will be
lovingly remembered for his kindness and generos-
ity, his teasing spirit, and his great love for the wide
Alberta prairie land that was his home.
John’s family sincerely thanks the staff at Wheatland
Lodge, Whitehorn Village, AgeCare Sagewood, and
the Strathmore Hospital for their compassionate care
through his final years. We also extend our deep grat-
itude to Dr. Senzani for always giving John so much
of his time and kindness.
Due to current restrictions on gatherings, John’s ser-
vice will be private with immediate family. We hope
