A new fire bylaw, and policy and
procedure change, alleviates the bur-
den to provide operational oversight
Page 15 of the Strathmore Fire Department by
Strathmore town council, and places
their role and responsibility in gov-
ernance, policy and bylaw setting.
“Instead of trying to amend that
beast of a bylaw and put council into
a very precarious position of approv-

the appeal body for operation proce-
dures, it was decided that we would
Standard Sports Day write a new bylaw,” said Trent West,
Town of Strathmore policing and
emergency services manager. “Service
levels are the responsibility of council
to set, which gives me direction.”

old and does not conform to cur-
rent requirements. The new bylaw
will address weaknesses set out in a
2017 corporate review of bylaws and
RE/MAX FIRST policies, as well as reflect goals of
587-316-2000 Strathmore’s 2018 strategic plan.

Shop local initiative offered in Strathmore
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
For years, Calgary and other large
centres have released coupon books
to keep people shopping local and
to serve as a fundraiser for local chil-
dren’s charities and clubs and service
clubs.
This year, Strathmore will be receiv-
ing their very own locally produced
“book of bargains” as part of a shop
local initiative.
Book of Bargains is the brainchild
of Assist Business Centre, a locally-
owned printing and business shop in
Strathmore. They plan on selling the
book yearly, and eventually spreading
it out into other communities across
southern Alberta.
“It’s hard for local businesses be-
cause people go to the bigger box
stores, so we thought it would be a
great idea to keep everybody shop-
ping local. So instead of going to (Cal-
gary) to buy something, there will be
a coupon for (Strathmore) and people
can stay and support the businesses in
our town,” said Brooke Quinn, graphic
designer with Assist.
The book will also be used as a fun-
draiser for children’s clubs and chari-
ties and service clubs within Strath-
more.
The book is scheduled to be re-
leased in the middle of September this
year. The Strathmore Scouts and the
Air Cadets are scheduled to sell cop-
ies of the book, and Assist has been in
contact with several schools.
The books will sell for $20 includ-
ing GST. The organization selling the
book receives $10 from each sale.
“We thought it would be a great way
to also help with fundraising with
the kids in town, it’s a great way to
help the kids in the community,” said
Quinn, who added that any group that
is interested in selling Book of Bar-
gains may contact Assist.
Currently, the book is still in the ad
sales stage and they are hoping for
120 different businesses to purchase
either a full or half page to advertise
their business and offer customers a
discount. Deadline to purchase an ad
in the book is July 25.
For those who don’t want to carry
around a book, the Book of Bargains
will also be available in an app for
both iOS and Android.
Generally, the coupons will be good
until the end of August the following
year, with a new Book of Bargains
scheduled to be released every Sep-
tember.

RCMP plan ahead
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
The best laid plans start with financial planning,
and Strathmore RCMP Staff Sgt. Dennis Delaronde
gave Strathmore town council a package that out-
lines a financial plan for the next five years.
“The reason I am attending the meeting is to
present a multi-year plan and forecasting for re-
sources for the detachment. These are some things
that I would bring to council for future planning,”
said Delaronde
The department document has a number of
variables, so Delaronde separated out areas spe-
cific to Strathmore.
“I took it and presented things the way they are
now, so obviously it will have to be adjusted as it
is just strictly planning,” said Delaronde.
The document will be discussed at the next
council meeting on July 4.
Thought for WATCH CLERK UPDATE
The watch clerk program got thumbs up from

Trent West, manager of protective services for the

and what do West updated council how the position has
improved conditions in the RCMP office and im-

You get earth. “There has been a 20 per cent increase in activ-
ity allotted for crime prevention and added time in
C.S. Lewis the field,” said West.
The report included the duties of the watch
clerk and how that relates to the duties of the con-
stabulary, and a reference to the town mandate to
improve community growth and safety.
He also said an equivalency of adding an addi-
tional constable has been achieved through utiliz-
ing watch clerk services, translating into about a
$100,000 savings in staffing costs.
WATER AND UTILITIES BYLAW
At the July 11 committee of the whole meeting,
Strathmore town council will discuss a new bylaw
on water and utilities. A draft was distributed at
the June 20 meeting.
“We determined that in the bylaw that is cur-
rently in place, there were many errors, omissions
and contradictions, and we decided that a new
bylaw was needed,” said Jim Simpson, interim di-
rector of infrastructure and development services.
There were six key changes under the topics
of town land irrigation, the conservation master
servicing agreement with City of Calgary, ways
to keep out cross connection contamination, in-
stallation of auxiliary meters downstream from a
town-owned water meter and minor housekeep-
ing matters.
Some of the breakdowns include a section for
outdoor watering restrictions that can be imposed
by the town, explanation of the compulsory con-
nection and water use rule, the need for vacuum
breakers on outside faucets and cross connection
control devices for buildings installed after the
bylaw is approved, hydrant set back and ground

maintenance for hydrants on or adjacent to pri-
vate property, and a chart of what water usage is
allowed.
Council will review some of the usage rules,
such as why a resident can fill a hot tub or swim-
ming pool, but he is not allowed to wash his
house’s windows or siding with potable water, nor
fill up bird baths or fountains.
Another consideration may be an explanation of
why the town is allowed to use Western Irrigation
District (WID) water for its properties, while resi-
dents and businesses are forced to use and pay for
potable water on their yards, because removal of
access to the WID water system for the public was
cancelled by past councils. Old pipes and cross
contamination risks were given as why no irriga-
tion services in the town are open to residents.
The City of Calgary has notified residents on
forthcoming rate increase for utilities. Strathmore
is connected to the City of Calgary servicing lines
for water.
Fee discussion will also take place at the July 11
meeting, which is open to the public.
Mayor Pat Fule often starts town council meet-
ings with an address to residents. On June 20, he
sent out kudos to Aleesha Gosling and Denise
Geremia for their work on the Get to Know Your
Neighbour Festival, which took place June 16.
“We had a great number of people come to
the downtown area,” said Fule. “It was a chance
to mingle and visit with downtown businesses,
which were able to showcase some of the prod-
ucts they have.”
He said these types of events were supporting
the drive to revitalize the downtown area.
NEW BUSINESS WELCOME
The Town of Strathmore is reaching out to new
businesses when they register for a business li-
cense. A package of information and incentives
are given the business owner, which includes a
complimentary pool and skate pass, and Strath-
more mug and pin.
Staff said there are different options available
for the differing types of businesses. Their busi-
ness profile is listed on the town website, they
can choose from a ribbon cutting ceremony or
introduction at council, and can post the busi-
ness in the town portion of news advertisements.
Home-based businesses cannot apply for ribbon
cutting.
VIDEO ON WATER USE
A video on the importance of saving water in
Strathmore is being released in July and will be
posted on the town’s website and Facebook page.
Town of Strathmore councillor Bob Sobol sits
on the sustainability committee and announced
the video release.
“The members of this committee decided ear-
lier this year that one of the main focuses would
be to attempt to provide information about water
usage in our community,” said Sobol, who added
the use of town communication resources and
volunteers eliminated the need for extra funding
to produce the video.

Clearing the air
To the Editor
I just read the article in the June 15th edition of
the Times (Words across the road, page 18). There
are a number of comments which are not entirely
true or presented in such a way as to give the reader
the wrong impression about the ranch. The comment
was made that in addition to 11 weddings held at
the ranch last year there were business conferences,
craft sales, a life celebration and a private party. There
were no business conferences held at the ranch and
there have never been any business conferences held
at the ranch.
Our participation in Open Farm Days was encour-
aged by Community Futures and the Alberta govern-
ment. All farms and ranches in Alberta are encouraged
to participate in this event which happens annually
in August. We worked with Community Futures to
encourage other farms and ranches to participate in
this event. Our culinary event marked the first time
that Wheatland County has ever participated in this
government sanctioned initiative. The annual event
provides an opportunity for people from the city to
get out to the country to see where their food comes
from. The second year that we hosted this event we
were asked by the Minister of Culture and Tourism
to host the kick-off for the event which gave us an
opportunity to showcase the beauty and bounty of
Wheatland County.
The Celebration of Life we hosted was for my hus-
band’s uncle. He was very much a horse person, so we
thought it would be appropriate to hold the celebra-
tion of his life on the ranch. To my knowledge any-
one can hold a family event on their property. I have
been to other celebrations of life on private property.
The celebration of life only lasted three hours; it was
held in the middle of the day and only a few songs
Things heating up on Parliament Hill
MARTIN SHIELDS
Member of Parliament Bow River Riding
With the 2019 election around the corner, things
have really started to heat up on Parliament Hill.
The House of Commons has now adjourned for
the summer, but we certainly had an eventful
spring. Since I know not everyone has time to fol-
low every twist and turn in Canadian politics, I
thought I would recap a few of the big issues we
debated over the last few months.
Trade has become a huge challenge for Canada.
Trade wars are not good for anyone. We hope to
see leadership from the government on this issue
to prevent it from getting any worse. We need a
resolution.
We dealt with the Liberals’ new firearms legisla-
tion, which targets law-abiding gun owners while
doing nothing to combat gang violence, illegal
handguns or rural crime. We debated the govern-
ment’s 2018 budget, which includes a federal car-
bon tax that the Liberals still refuse to disclose
the cost of. We saw the government spend $4.5
billion to buy the Kinder Morgan Pipeline, but we
still don’t know how they are going to get the
new Trans Mountain Project built. And we held
the prime minister to account for his disastrous
trip to India, which I think was an embarrassment
for all of us.
The Liberals passed their marijuana legaliza-
tion bill, so municipalities and police forces across

do this I immediately met with them to see what our Rocking R Guest Ranch
options were. That is how we came to apply for a re-
designation to Rural Business District. We want to do
less intrusive events in the future. Weddings are noisy
even though we insist that the DJ’s keep the decibel
level below 85 and turn the music down at 10:30 p.m.
and off at 11:30 p.m. We do this out of respect for our
neighbours. We could have applied for a permit to
host events that run until 1 a.m. but we did not! The
dance portion of the wedding only lasts three hours
or less and we only do one wedding per weekend, so
the maximum number of weddings that we could host
in a season would be 20; to date we have not done
more than 14.
It bears mentioning that our rural road hosts the
noise and traffic from a campground, three tree farms
and a sod farm, so it is far from a quiet rural setting!
If the campground owner says she is losing business
then I wonder why she turns away the business that
we push to her from May to September, choosing to
limit her business to “seasonal campers” only.
the country will soon face the burden of trying
to enforce it. We also saw the Liberals introduce
an ideological attestation for Canada Summer Jobs
applications, which is an unacceptable policy that
must be reversed. Lastly, the government’s inac-
tion on the grain backlog caused farmers across
our riding unnecessary headaches.
Despite this Liberal government’s ethical lapses
and failed policies, we have managed to get some
positive things done this session. The House voted
to pass my Alberta MP colleague Shannon Stubbs’
motion on rural crime, which was the result of a
lot of work and consultation by our Alberta cau-
cus rural crime task force. We hope this motion
will finally prompt some federal action on rural
crime.
On the Canadian Heritage committee, which I
am a member of, we studied cultural hubs in Can-
ada. Rosebud Theatre’s Board Chair Jack Hayden
came to tell the committee about the importance
of rural venues. I was happy to see rural hubs so
well represented.
We will continue to challenge the Liberals on
these issues over the summer months. But with
the session coming to a close, I’m excited to take
part in numerous community initiatives and events
across our riding over the next several months, in-
cluding many fantastic Canada Day celebrations. If
you see me around this summer, don’t hesitate to
stop and chat! I’m always happy to hear from you.

Communities in Bloom judges to visit Strathmore
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
On Aug. 2, the Town of Strathmore
will be assessed by Communities in
Bloom judges.
The Strathmore Communities in
Bloom group needs to have the com-
munity evaluated every five years to
keep up its membership in the nation-
al Communities in Bloom organization.
A judge will be coming to assess the
town under categories of tidiness, en-
vironmental action, heritage conserva-
tion, urban forestry, landscape and flo-
ral displays.
“Preparing for the judging is a lot
of work, but the evaluation will pro-
vide us and you with areas where we
are successful and areas we need to
improve,” said Rob Pirie, Strathmore
Communities in Bloom chair, at the re-
cent Strathmore town council meeting.
“We think Strathmore will do very well.
We think it is time to celebrate all the
advances that have been made.”
Many of the green spaces around
Strathmore have been touched by the
willing hands and green thumbs of
the Strathmore Communities in Bloom
members. Each year, over 145 trees
were added to areas in Strathmore
through a joint effort of Communities
in Bloom, the Town of Strathmore and
private contributors.
“Communities in Bloom is a volun-
teer-based Canadian non-profit orga-
nization committed to fostering civic

The group tries to engage people
in Strathmore to come out and help
with any ongoing projects. To date,
Strathmore Communities in Bloom has
helped develop projects such as Gray’s
Park, Centennial Park, the Birth Forest,
upgrades at the Civic Centre entrance,
a sign at Kinsmen Park garden, a com-
munity garden and soon a project for
Lambert Centre.
Pirie thanked the town for many ser-
vices in kind already given in prepa-
ration for the event. He commended
town staff on their good maintenance
of the green spaces in town and asked
if a sign could be installed prior to Community in Bloom is asking for Strathmore council’s help with getting the town ready for judging on

Rosebud premieres independent films

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
The Red Herring and 9 Sols to Intercept, two locally-
made films, will premiere in Rosebud Theatre’s Opera
House, July 15.
The Red Herring is a comedy about three friends
locked in a mysterious room. “You’ll feel as trapped
as they are,” said writer-producer Stephanie Lanting in
an email. For Lanting, a fourth-year Rosebud School
of the Arts (RSA) student, the film is her Final Project,
based on a play she wrote in RSA’s playwriting course.
“I had written all the characters and their relation-
ship dynamics very seriously,” Lanting said. “It wasn’t
until my play was read during the Rosebud Budding
Playwrights Festival last summer that I realized I had
just written a comedy. The whole room was filled with
laughter. Someone told me afterwards, ‘that was very
courageous of you to have written comedy.’ I thought,
oh, that’s what this is! It’s a comedy!”
Lanting hopes the film will do for viewers what the
story does for her.
“It’s a reminder for me that I can laugh at myself
when I’m in the middle of something uncomfortable,”
she said. “I hope that this film helps give the perspec-
tive that, yeah, it’s not a great circumstance to be in,
but look at how humorously insane this is.”
After the premiere, Lanting plans to show The Red
Herring at film festivals.
9 Sols to Intercept is a space film about astronauts
performing a mission on an unnamed planet. “Sol” is
the term used by astronauts to describe a solar day.
The 15- to 18-minute film was produced and per-
formed by Rosebud teens Hadden Eliuk, Donovan
Snider and Weston Snider.
“Their whole mission is an exploration mission,”
Eliuk said. “They’re on this planet where the gas is
extremely valuable… their mission is to refine it and
see if it will work for furthering space exploration.
They’re on this mission outside the base, and one of
their crewmates falls down a cliff and gets seriously
injured.”
Adds Donovan Snider, “they only have nine days to
solve their problems and complete their mission be-
fore they have to intercept with the ship that will take
them back to earth.”
9 Sols to Intercept isn’t the team’s first film, but it’s
their longest to date.
“Before this we just thought (short films) were re-
ally cool, that we were able to pull off some really
short, almost one-day shoots. We got the really intel-
ligent idea into our heads that wouldn’t it be great
to make a space film?” said Weston Snider. “We actu-
ally found our love of film through making this really
huge challenge.”
After the premiere, the production team plans to
post 9 Sols to Intercept on their YouTube channel, Do
No Films.
The Red Herring and 9 Sols to Intercept will pre-
miere at 8 p.m. on July 15 in the Rosebud Opera
House. A concession will be available, and the event
will also include talk-backs with each film’s produc-
tion team.
To see a trailer of each film and to buy tickets for
$16 go to rosebudpremiere.ca. Tickets will also be
available at the door for $20.

Musicians celebrate culture and compassion

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Producer and musician Denis Grady
is bringing two musical and cultural
events to Wheatland County this week.
On June 30 and July 1, he is produc-
ing and performing in the Love the
Tribe: Canada Day Music Festival at the
Strathmore rodeo grounds. Numerous
Indigenous and non-Indigenous mu-
sicians will perform from noon to 6
p.m. both days. Grady performs with
the Common Welfare Band, and Danny
Agajanian of Colorado will also per-
form.
Love the Tribe is part of the Black-
foot Cultural Festival, which also in-
cludes the Chief Crowfoot Art Show,
the First Nations Festival of Faith, Cow-
boy Church and the Indian Relay Race.
The Indian Relay Race is on horses,
Grady said, and the riders ride bare-
back. Most of the riders are Indige-
nous, and they wear regalia, such as
feathers and painted faces.
“It’s visually very appealing, and
(that adds to) the energy of the race. It
will grab everybody’s attention,” Grady
said. “(It’s) a wonderful cultural sports
event. It brings forth the integrity of
the culture in a fun way.
“The whole idea here is the collec-
tive of the Canadian cultural mosaic,
that we’re a multi-cultural country. That
makes us special, diversified and great.
The idea of coming together and cel-
ebrating with the original Canadians.”
On July 3 at 7 p.m., Grady and Agaja-
nian will perform a country gospel and
comedy concert at St. Rita’s Church in
Rockyford. Although admission is free,
an offering will be taken with funds
going to Franciscan and Friends Mis-
sion, of which Grady and his wife are
the founders.
“Danny’s got an amazing ability
to make people laugh,” Grady said.
“(He has) banjo and mandolin skills.
It makes for a very entertaining eve-
ning.” Agajanian has performed with
Johnny Cash, Grady said, and at the
Grand Ole Opry.
Grady himself is also a songwriter
and has been performing music for 30
years. He said he looks forward to the
power of music and culture to bring
people together at this concert.
Their current focus is working with
local Indigenous people, especially
youth who struggle with addictions
and social issues. Once a month, they
visit Siksika Nation and the Piikani Na-
tion, bringing arts supplies, harmoni-
cas and sports equipment. They give
arts and harmonica-playing classes,
and initiate games of soccer or la-
crosse.
Tax receipts will be issued for dona-
tions at the concert. For more informa-
tion, see franciscanandfriends.ca. For
more information about the Blackfoot
Cultural Festival, see blackfootrodeo.
ca. The Indian Relay Race takes place
on June 30 and July 1 at 6 p.m. at the
Strathmore rodeo grounds.

The Grade 8 Outdoor Education Crowther Memorial Junior High School class stood near the top of
Raspberry Ridge during one of their hikes this year.
Outdoor blazes new trails
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
School programs that teach kids
about the great outdoors are beginning
to take off in Strathmore.
As of this fall, Strathmore High
School will offer class credit to join the
outdoor education program, which will
piggyback the program that just fin-
ished its third year at Crowther Memo-
rial Junior High School.
Stephanie Aitken, a teacher wrapping
up her second year at the high school,
wanted to provide her students a
chance to enjoy activities in the moun-
tains the same way she did when she
was a kid.
“My main vision is to educate stu-
dents so they can have lifelong en-
joyment with outdoor adventures and
learn about the challenges that come
with spending time in the wild. And
hopefully they can build a deeper level
of perseverance from it,” said Aitken.
This past year, the outdoor education
program was an after-school club that
went on day hikes, a two-night back-
packing trip and a two-night cross-
country ski trip.
But as of this fall, students can earn
credit toward their high school diploma
and the program will take place within
school hours.
“Next year, we are going to have in-
school lessons educating students on
the activities they are about to go out
and experience, instead of learning
about everything out in the mountains,”
said Aitken.
Like some sports programs with the
high school and junior high, the high
school will use Crowther as a building
block for their outdoor education pro-
gram.

an option for students just like other
classes. Sackett has seen his program
go from three classes up to seven over
the years.
“I think the outdoors is a great place
for kids. It’s pretty crucial for kids to
get out to the mountains when you live
this close to a world-class environment
like that,” said Sackett. “In this tech age,
I think it’s important to get the kids out
into nature.”
Sackett’s programs are open to Grade
8 and 9 students. For the Grade 8 kids,
the class goes on a day hike in the
fall, a winter camping trip in February
and another camping trip in June. The
Grade 9 students go on camping trips
in the fall and spring, along with one
trip in the winter.
All trips for the high school and ju-
nior high take place in Kananaskis
Country, which includes five provincial
parks, four wildland provincial parks,
one ecological reserve and several pro-
vincial recreation areas. The location
changes each time so the students get
to experience a different part of Kanan-
askis.
Having the proper gear can be an is-
sue for kids in the program. Things like
personal sleeping bags, a warm sweat-
er, rain jacket and a solid pair of boots
are mandatory for each kid, while other
things like tents, stoves and water fil-
ters can be shared.
The schools do provide some gear for
students, but there is not enough to go
around. But as the program continues
to grow, Sackett says so does his collec-
tion of gear.
Both teachers are already planning
next year’s trips, as they continue to
receive positive feedback about their
programs in the early stages. Interested
students can sign up for the courses
just like they would for any other class.
With school out for the summer,
Sackett and Aitken are hoping the stu-
dents can take the things they learned
this year into fun summer activities.

Rollerhawks takedown top dog

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Edmonton Bears appeared destined to cap-
ture their third-straight U14 AAA Western National
Roller Hockey title.
The Bears hadn’t lost a game in over two years
and came into the year-end tournament ranked
No. 1 in Western Canada.
That is, until Domenic Ficaccio played hero with
1.1 seconds remaining in regulation and forced
overtime.
Ficaccio plays for the Strathmore Rollerhawks,
a roller hockey team comprised of players from
Strathmore and Chestermere.
The Rollerhawks met the Bears in the final June
24 at the Edmonton East Soccer Centre.
The Bears led 4-2 with four minutes left in
regulation. After cutting the lead to one, Ficaccio
swarmed a rebound and buried the tying goal.
“Dom had a great weekend for us and he some-
how managed to get the puck up and over their
goalie,” said U10 and U14 Head Coach Steve Stov-
ka. “Once that went in, the Bears were devastated.
They were 1.1 seconds away from winning their
third title.”
The four-on-four action went into a 10-minute
period of sudden death. It was then, off an offen-
sive faceoff, that Philip Raycroft swatted the puck
five-hole for the championship-clinching goal two
and a half minutes into overtime.
“I have never seen a group of kids celebrate the
way these kids did. For them, it probably felt like
a David versus Goliath situation.
The gold medal capped off a winning week-
end that saw the Rollerhawks tame the Red Deer
Snipers 5-4 in the round robin opener, lose to the
Bears 8-2 and squeak past the Edmonton Rams in
the final round robin game June 23.
In the semis, the Rollerhawks drew the Snipers
and handled them 6-3 the morning of the cham-
pionship game.
Upon returning home as champions, the Roll-
erhawks had to wait and see about a result from
their Calgary Roller Hockey League. After winning
the regular season title, some bad luck in the play-

INSURANCE POLICY
Insurance has certainly
become a mandatory part
of our society. We can’t
drive a car without it and we
can’t buy a house without
it. Life insurance, disability
insurance, farm insurance,
health care insurance,
business insurance, travel
insurance, fire, flood and theft
insurance, the list is endless.
It’s a huge investment for
just in case. You never know
if something might happen
and it’s better to be safe than
sorry.
What about insurance that
covers you, even though
you know it will eventually
happen? I know that certain
policies won’t cover you if
you’ve had an illness or the
premiums go up if you’ve had
an accident.
Inevitably we are all going to
come to an end of this life.
There is no getting around it.
There’s only one insurance
policy that is a win-win
policy. No matter what the
circumstances, no matter

The heavy rain that impacted and
cancelled earlier events last weekend
departed, and blue skies returned to
Strathmore for the fourth annual Rock
N Ride Skate for Change at the Skate-
park June 24.
The Youth Club of Strathmore has
turned this event into a chance for not
just skateboarders, but BMX and scoot-
er riders from around town to come
out for a day of shredding with their
friends.
“We wanted to create a more posi-
tive relationship with the kids who use
the skatepark and everyone else from
the community,” said volunteer Erin
Corbin. “We want to show to everyone
that the skatepark isn’t just for teenag-
ers or experienced riders, but for every-
one in the community.”
The day began with a two-hour free
ride in the morning for everyone to
get used to the ramps, pipes, bowls
and jumps. Boys and girls of all ages
brought their bikes, boards and scoot-
ers for some test runs.
“We have some kids with some awe-
some abilities in Strathmore. It’s great
to see 16-year-olds helping out some
6-year-olds with their tricks. We want
to show that this is a safe and fun place
to be, all while celebrating a positive

Local girls help each other out for Ironman

MUIR FURZER
Deputy Fire Chief
Strathmore Fire Department
Running an Ironman or a Half Ironman can be
a gruelling challenge, but it can be made a little
easier when doing it with a friend.
Especially when your friend has nearly a quar-
ter-decade of experience under her belt, or in this
case, swim cap.
Candice Fargey was new to the triathlon game.
She got her feet wet during an ITU World Qualify-
ing event in Edmonton in September 2017 after
reading on a website that “anyone can do it.”
Admittedly, Fargey was out of her league, as ath-
letes hopped off planes from places around the
world for this event. Nevertheless, she was not
discouraged. When she returned to Strathmore,
she consulted other local long-distance athletes
about her struggles.
Already with a passion for the pool and know-
ing her way around the bike, she picked up some
advice from local running guru Kelly Yorston. Af-
ter learning a few pointers, her training began to
take off.
Off in the distance was the 70.3-kilometre Half
Ironman in Victoria on June 3.
When chatting with her friends in her bike club
about the possibility of attending the race because
it was also close to her son who is attending the
University of Victoria, one of the veterans of the
triathlon group chimed in.
“I’ll do it,” exclaimed Janice Bird, a local athlete
who is competing in her 23rd season of triathlons.
The Victoria Ironman is known for its curving
hills throughout the race and dirt paths, which are
easier on joints than pavement runs.
So, the two agreed to train as often as possible
together and to both enter the race.
“I enjoy the races because of the endurance
part, but I also enjoy them because of the journey
they take you on when you’re training and when
you are running the race,” said Bird. “For me, the
race is the icing on top of the cake.”
The two racing partners had vastly different
work and life schedules, which made training to-
gether difficult at times. Both were putting in the
required amount of work at the gym and would
occasionally bump into each other along the way
and check in on how the other was doing in the Candice Fargey (l) and Janice Bird showed off the medals they won after

Bulls dominate inagural Bull-A-Rama at Aggie Days

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The bulls were too much to handle
during the inaugural Bull-A-Rama event
at Aggie Days June 24 in Carseland.
That doesn’t mean the sellout crowd
wasn’t entertained.
“The bulls kicked everyone’s butts,”
joked Carseland Aggie Days event co-
ordinator Derek Alce. “The fans didn’t
seem to mind though. Everyone was
very much into it, cheering (and)
screaming, and I’ve heard nothing but
good comments.”
Out of 25 riders in the first go-round,
only Wyatt Gleeson, Jack Keats and Wy-
att Laughlin covered their rides.
Competing for points in the Bull Rid-
ers Canada (BRC) standings, Sundre’s
Gleeson took home first and second
place for his rides in the final round.
Gleeson entered twice into the event
and it paid off, as he nailed all four
runs.
Gleeson earned 200 and 180 points
towards the year-long standings and a
total purse of $4,154.
The Australian Keats won $1,029 but
didn’t record any points in the BRC
standings. Laughlin placed fourth in the
event, earning 140 points and $791.
Local cowboy Ethan Schultz was in at-
tendance but didn’t ride at Aggie Days.
On June 23, he sustained a concussion
during the BRC event in Whitecourt,
Alta. Schultz is currently following the
rodeo concussion protocol and has to
might be here to stay at Aggie Days. “We sold out of beer
and burgers, so you know it was a good day. We even had to
turn people away, there was that much interest. This really
wouldn’t have been possible if we didn’t get great support
from all our volunteers and sponsors,” said Alce. “For a while
now, all we have had for Sunday of Aggie Days has been a
breakfast, church and our slo-pitch tournament. This was a
great change and we would love to have it back next year.”
For fans that missed this occasion, Bull-A-Rama will be in
Rockyford June 30, with the first ride going around 6 p.m.

Despite the rather inclement weather, the Tri-Smore Strathmore Triathlon went ahead June 23 at the
Strathmore Aquatic Centre and surrounding area. Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, cycling had
to be cancelled but swimmers and runners were able to complete their events.
Rain cancels bike ride
during Tri-Smore
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Last year, the conditions were per-
fect. This year, a heavy downpour put
the eighth annual Tri-Smore Strathmore
Triathlon in jeopardy.
It rained off and on all weekend, but
hit the hardest the evening and morn-
ing of the annual race.
“When we got here to set up signs for
the bike riding section this morning, it
was raining so hard that the wipers on
our volunteer’s car couldn’t keep up,”
said Tri-Smore Race Director Niki John-
son. “The highway was still open at that
point and there was too much water on
the road for skinny tires. It was a really
tough decision, but ultimately, it wasn’t
safe for our athletes.”
Last year, the race took place on a
beautiful sunny morning. This year,
the race was one lightning strike away
from being completely called off.
When it comes to triathlons in south-
ern Alberta, you are held hostage by
the elements.
“It was disappointing not to have the
cycling portion. You can’t predict Moth-
er Nature, so just deal with it and move
on,” said Tim Smail, one of the 63 local
athletes competing in the event.
Like every year, athletes come from
all over southern Alberta for the highly
anticipated race. This year, competitors
came from Okotoks, Calgary, Rocky-
ford, Medicine Hat, Saskatoon and Lake
Country, B.C., to name a few.
This year, the number of contestants
was down to 267 from 388 last year.
Smail usually hugs the sidelines dur-
ing the race to cheer on his daughter.
But this year his daughter was unable
to race so he stepped up to the plate.
The Smails are just one of many lo-
cal families in the race that make it a
highly anticipated event each summer.
Three years ago, Kaitrin McDonnell
ran in the Mega Smore while carry-
ing a little extra weight. She was three
Doug Taylor Photos
months pregnant with her second child
when she clocked in at 2:34.46.
This year, she was running for one
and finished the Adult Full Smore
teamed event in 46.59.
But what made this event more en-
joyable for the McDonnell family was
that Kaitrin’s first born, Finnsewall, ran
for the first time in the Two-Bite race at
the age of five.
“To do this as a family was so much
fun. Typically my husband is the run-
ner, but he couldn’t go this year, but
that’s fine. He was out here supporting
us and it’s great to see other families
out here as well. That’s what makes this
such a great community event,” said
Kaitrin.
This year, the top competitor in the in-
dividual Mega Smore (150-metre swim,
10-kilometre run) was Calgary’s Dar-
ren Hayner with a time of 1:06:14.43.
The top local athlete in the Mega was
Andrew Kelly, who placed fifth with a
time of 1:24:20.30.
Taking the title in the Adult Full
Smore (500m swim, 5km run) was
Leslie-Anne Bowyer of Medicine Hat
with her time of 35:22.69. Right behind
her was the top local finisher in Lau-
ren Deagle, who was hot on her tail at
35:24.67.
The local team of Avery Johnson,
Xander Johnson and Logan Pouwer
captured the Adult Team Full Smore.
In the Adult Half Smore (250m swim,
2.5km run), Calgary’s Emily Dukeshire
crossed the line at 24:26.47. The high-
est finishing Strathmore product was
Carley Flaws, who checked in third at
26:03.26.
The Tri-Smore housed a pair of youth
events this season, the Half Smore
(250m swim, 2.5 km run) and Quarter
Smore (100m swim, 1.5km run).
Stratmore’s Cale Yorston won the Half
Smore in a blistering time of 12:55.52.
In the Quarter Smore, local product
Nicholas Szasz finished second with a
time of 10:16.70.
Obituary
MAY, Douglas William
August 19, 1954
to April 13, 2018
Doug passed away peacefully at
the Strathmore Hospital on the early
morning of May 13, 2018. Previous to his passing, he
went to go be with his mother on Mother’s Day.
Doug was born in Calgary and raised in Strathmore
and chose to reside in Strathmore his entire life.
Doug is predeceased by his sister Lori and by his
mother, Jean May (Kermack), four years ago.
Doug is survived by his father Bill May.
A service was held by family and close friends at the
Strathmore Cemetery in May.
His ashes were buried with his mother’s grave at the
Strathmore Cemetery and a permanent marker will
soon be placed.
Doug will be fondly remembered by his friends Linda,
Brett, Darryl, Edo, Juanita, Kelli and Greg, as well as
by his father Bill and by his many friends in his apart-
ment block, Chinook III.
We will miss his humour, his kindness, and also his
frankness. He put a smile on our hearts.
Obituary
NIELSEN, Swen Erik
Swen Erik “Rick” Nielsen was born
on September 22, 1935 at the family
farm. While growing up in Standard,
AB he was very active in a variety of
sports and spent countless hours working on the
family farm. He received his pilot’s licence in 1955.
He married the love of his life, Arlene Lavridsen on
June 28, 1958. Swen and Arlene began their married
life living in Calgary. They then moved to Acme, AB
in 1961, where Swen started a crop spraying busi-
ness and farmed another of the family farms. They
then returned to living in Calgary for a short time,
where Swen worked as a hail insurance adjuster.
They moved back to Standard in 1971, where Swen
and Arlene raised their four children. Moving back to
Standard was a great decision for the Nielsen family.
Swen was a keen farmer, and an active community
member. Summers were spent with his family camp-
ing at Green Acres Campground at Pine Lake, where
he was an avid water skier. Swen and Arlene were big
hockey fans and held season’s tickets to the Calgary
Flames for many years, beginning with the inaugural
season in 1980.
In 1993, Swen and Arlene moved to Chestermere,
AB. It was at this time that he began using the name
“Rick”. Rick always joked, “People east of Chester-
mere call me Swen, and everyone else knows me as
Rick.” Rick remained an active member of his com-
munity, serving as a Charter Member of the Chester-
mere Lions Club and as a member of the local golf
and curling clubs.
Rick retired from farming in 2001, and enjoyed his
retirement years travelling, going on cruises with his
wife and family, remaining active in sports and spend-
ing time with family. Rick loved being a grandfather to
his four grandchildren and was lucky enough that all
of them lived within 5 minutes away in Chestermere.
In July of 2004 Rick suffered a severe hemorrhagic
stroke. He continued to live at home for five years
with his loving wife as his caregiver before mov-
ing into a long-term care facility. Rick passed away
peacefully on June 22, 2018 at the age of 82 years.
The family would like to thank the staff at Newport
Harbour Care Centre for their excellent care of Rick.
Rick will be forever missed by his wife, Arlene; four
children, Randall, Colleen (Tim and children TJ and
Sherry), Holly, Jill Lloyd (Andrew); four grandchildren,
Krista, Luke, Kate and Evan. Rick is also survived by
his siblings Anne Marie Brand (Bruce), Dennis (Sally),
Sonja (Don), Poul (Maria Delia), cousins Hans (Birte)
and Niels (Inge) Jorgensen, numerous nephews and
nieces as well as other family and friends in Den-
mark.
Rick’s Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday,
July 21st, 2018 at the Standard Community Hall from
1 - 4 pm. Program will be at 2 pm. To send con-
dolences, please visit Rick’s obituary at www.wheat-
