Schools in Strathmore are at capacity or
almost full and a new school is needed to
address the crunch, said Bevan Daverne,
Golden Hills School Division (GHSD) su-
perintendent.
We could defnitely use a new school
in Strathmore, he said.
Daverne spoke about the need at a
GHSD meeting on March 27, while de-
termining capital project priorities. Three
elementary schools and the junior high
school are essentially full, he said.
Only the high school in town has
room.
Trustees asked about the use of por-
table classrooms to address the need.
Daverne explained that they have already
used portables to address the issue and
that they not be feasible in the future.
Spaces such as libraries and computer
labs are already being converted into
classroom spaces to address the space
crunch, Daverne said.
The school division would like an el-
ementary and also a Jr. high school to
address the needs, but receiving funding
from the province for one K-9 school is
more likely, Daverne said.
The board approved pursuing a new
K-9 school for the community as part
of capital project planning. They set a
proposal to build a consolidated K-12
school for the east Wheatland region as
top priority at the meeting, with a new
school for Strathmore as the second high-
est priority. If the province only approves
funding for one new school it will likely
be based on the priorities set out by the
school division. There was little discus-
sion about a location, except that there
may be diffculty securing land in Strath-
more for a new school when needed.
The new school proposal will depend
on funding from the province, Daverne
said. Review and approval of capital proj-
ects is on hold due to the upcoming elec-
tion and will be uncertain afterward, he
added.
Catholic schools in the region are gov-
erned by a different school division:
Christ The Redeemer Catholic Schools.
Strathmore needs
a new school,

Premier Alison Redford was in Strath-
more on April 2 to announce the cre-
ation of 140 family care clinics across
the province, in communities like Strath-
more, if re-elected.
I strongly feel that all Albertans
should be able to access quality health-
care in their community, this is funda-
mental, travel for healthcare should be
minimized, said Redford.
Redford said as a Progressive Conser-
vative government they were committed
in the early 70s to making sure that com-
munities like Strathmore thrived, and to
making sure publicly funded healthcare
was accessible which is why there are
some early medical facilities already in
place.
As we see populations change we
have to do more, and we have to think
differently about how we access health-
care. So we have introduced, and today
I have announced, 140 family care clin-

ics that will be established across the
province in the next three years, said
Redford.
Its important for us to do that be-
cause it is a different way of thinking
about healthcare, and its a different way
of thinking about how we work with a
population that needs different health-
care services. Clinics will be open at
least seven days a week, from at least
nine in the morning until seven at night.
I know as the mom of a nine-year-old
very often I dont need an appointment
at a family doctor, which is the conven-
tional way of getting healthcare, or ac-
cessing emergency rooms after hours,
said Redford.
What I need is the ability to go see a
nurse, who knows me, who knows my
family, to get a prescription renewed, or
just to get a prescription. Just to know
the ear infection is taken care of or what-
ever that might be. Its not the solution
to everything but its a different solution
to the needs of a lot of Albertans so that
the acute care system can actually deal
with the people that have the acute care
needs.
Since October 1, there have already
been three facilities developed, which
are currently up, and running.
Redford said they plan to build on the
concepts already started at the East Ed-
monton Health Centre, the East Calgary
Health Centre and the Slave Lake Family
Clinic. The concept puts community care
clinics in place that meet the needs of
that community.
The facilities employ some doctors,
but also licensed practical nurses, reg-
istered nurses, dietitians, chiropractors,
pharmacists and much more.
She feels it will take six to nine
months of working with communities
and Alberta Health Services to decide
exactly how each of the 140 communi-
ties would like to implement their family
care clinic.
This is a government that makes com-
mitments, meets our commitments and
acts quickly on them. Im really proud of
the fact that weve been able to do that.

* Check the condition
of your shingles every
few years.
* Clean the gutters to
prevent blockages.
* Inspect and test the
sump pump.
* Install a backwater
valve to prevent
possible sewer backup.
* If water is pooling
near the foundation
then fnd a way to lead it away from
the house.

Women from across East
Wheatland came together on
Sunday from 10am to 8pm
at the Rockyford Community
Hall to Create for a Cure as
they participated in a fun
afternoon of scrapbooking
and visiting.
The afternoon event was
organized by Shelly Neal and
Patti VanBavel, two members
of Magical Moms a Relay for
Life team. Magical Moms, is
a relay group that was orga-
nized a few years ago that
consists of eight members:
Christie Meyers, Amy Hamp-
ton, Dallas Stickel, Michelle
Wilson, Kari VanEaton, Dawn
Kalbhen, Shelly Neal and
Patti VanBavel. They have
joined one of the biggest
Cancer events that make the
biggest difference in fnding
a cure. To date the group has
raised just over $1500 for the
event.
The Canadian Cancer So-
ciety group states that the
event has become far more
than just a fundraiser, but
rather Relay for Life is an
opportunity to get together
with family and friends and
celebrate cancer survivors,
remember loved ones lost to
cancer, and fght back in the
hope of fnding a cure for
this terrible disease.
Relay is fun, fulflling, and
peoples participation gives
strength to their mission to-
eradicate cancer. Walk with
them in this inspirational 12-
hour overnight event as they
come together and fght to
make cancer history.

Students from Strathmore
High School campaigned
for a charity of their choice
in the race to be crowned
Spring King and Queen on
March 22 at the schools
Spring Prom. All of the con-
testants had personal con-
nections to the charities they
selected, making it a tight
race right until the very end.
Rachel Rogers came out on
top, raising a total of $525.77
for her charity, the JDRF (Ju-
venile Diabetes Research
Foundation). Rogers has
dealt with Juvenile Diabetes
since she was six-and-a-half
years old. She takes up to
three needles a day, and has
to pay very special attention
to her diet.
I hope that this money
will help towards fnding
a cure or new technology
that will help make living
with diabetes easier and less
stressful, said Rogers, who
gave up much of her time
lobbying around school dur-
ing lunch for change and do-
nations.
I loved the fact that teen-
agers were willing to give
money to my charity. Its
pretty cool considering they
only have part-time jobs, and
dont earn too much, she
said.
Rogers also made up a
sheet for her mom and step-
dad to take to work, where
their co-workers donated.
I would like to thank ev-
eryone who donated, she
said. Every penny counted.
Parker Petruska landed
in second place, raising a
total of $465.41 for the Cal-
gary Power Hockey League
and earning him the title of
Spring King.
Petruska is in a power
wheelchair, and is a member
of the Calgary Power Hockey
League. He was selected to
attend the All Star game in
Ottawa to represent Calgary,
and hopes that the funds will
help make that dream come
true.
All of the money raised
from the contestants was
pooled together and then
split 60/40 for the charities
of the top two contenders. A
total of $821.86 will be go-
ing to the JDRF, and $547.91
to the Calgary Power Hockey
League, which will be pre-
sented to the charities dur-
ing an assembly at a later
date.

successfully orchestrated their frst fundraiser
on march 31. The Changing our Stars fund-
raiser was held in Chestermere, there was pin-
ball, a golf chipping contest, a silent auction,
and welcome sign, sold during a live auction.
The money raised is to grant a wish for a girl,
mostly confned to a wheelchair, who longs for
a horse of her own. The girls raised approxi-
mately $3,000, not enough for the wish but
they will keep fundraising until they can make

As the Spring season is rapidly approaching, the Town will be initiating
many of our seasonal programs.
Be on the Alert for Town crews and Contractor crews that may be
involved in the following projects.

STREET CLEANING
Residential Spring clean-up will be starting mid- April. We currently
have 150 lane kilometres to sweep. You can assist in doing a Clean
Sweep, by removing your vehicles off the street. Sweeping gravel off
your driveway and front sidewalk prior to the sweepers arrival would
greatly help in achieving this.
Watch for the large notifcation signboards that are placed in advance
at main residential entrances into your community.

POTHOLE PATCHING
Over the winter potholes form and create driving hazards. Our crews
have already begun repairing and maintaining those areas.

PARKS /TURF MANAGEMENT
Our Parks Department from mid- April- September, will be busy repair-
ing playground equipment, trash collection, mowing, aerating, planting
fowers, watering, applying herbicides and fertilizers throughout the 256
acres of Town owned green spaces.
Note: During herbicide treatments, warning signs will be placed at
community entrances prior to applications. Yellow signs will be placed
immediately after herbicide application.

SIDEWALK/STREETS /BACK LANES / PATHWAYS
Repairs will be made to sidewalks, curbs, streets and back lanes. 1200
meters of new pathway along Thomas Drive will be added in 2012 to our
existing 10.5 kilometer network.

LINE PAINTING
Painting will begin ( weather permitting) after the Spring clean-up is
completed. We currently have 45,000 linear meters as well as numerous
arrows and handicap symbols to complete.

SAFETY TIPS :
- Adjust your speed and obey all construction signs, warning signals
and Flaggers
- Keep a safe distance from construction equipment and work sites
- Warmer weather means playgrounds will be busy with all the chil-
dren, please observe the 30km/h speeds in those areas

It was in 2010 when Ruppes pinky
fngers started separating from the rest
of his fngers, and by June of 2011 he
knew something was wrong.
He was having a hard time writing
and typing, but the doctor told him he
was fne. He began experiencing mus-
cle twitching and weakness and his
hand was beginning to atrophy.
After months of being brushed off by
his doctor, he was given a nerve con-
ductivity test, which led to more test-
ing.
I was offcially diagnosed on Janu-
ary 3 (2012) but it was around the end
of October when I found out what they
thought I was dealing with, said Rup-
pe.
Ruppe was told he had a neuro-de-
generative disease, and in January of
this year he was told its one of the
worst ones. Amyotrophic lateral scle-
rosis (ALS) is often referred to as Lou
Gehrigs disease. The disease common-
ly affects people between the ages of
40 and 60. Ruppe is 29.
ALS is a progressive and fatal dis-
ease. Eventually the body succumbs
to paralysis and the respiratory system
becomes compromised, which leads to
most affected patients dying of reper-
tory failure and pneumonia after a few
years.
Im fne with the diagnosis I guess,
its just the prognosis that Im not hap-
py with, said Ruppe.
Ruppe has always enjoyed life to
the fullest, trying to always experience
new things, while getting the adrena-
line kick that he craves.
I get so much out of sports, I get
everything out of hockey, but sports in
general. I love adrenaline, it just sort of
kept me moving and wanting to (keep)
experiencing something, said Ruppe.
Its taken almost everything from
me, and thats one of the things that
I have had problems with over sort of
the last month and a half, I get upset
about some of those things.
Im a people person so I can focus
more just on relationships and stuff
like that maybe, different aspects of my
life to focus on now. Things have just
changed a little bit and I just have to
change my direction a little bit, thats
about it.
Ruppe said he still has big dreams
and aspirations, but has to take things
in stride. Its still early and he is not
sure how the ALS is going to progress
and how well what he is doing to miti-
gate, or stop the progression, is going
to work.
Its a little scary at times because
the majority of whats happened to me
has happened in such a short period of
time, its only been eight months since
this all started happening, and thats
when your mind starts wondering what
is happening, is it going to keep going
fast, is it slowing down, said Ruppe.
I dont really know because I dont
have much to really gauge it on either.
Its tough and a little bit draining on the
body and the mind, but Im just trying
to shift the way I think about things.
Shifting the way I look at everything
helps and then just go from there.
Im having a hard time doing pretty
much everything now and I think thats
why I am having such a bad month.
It gets a little discouraging sometimes
when youre having a hard time doing
everything for yourself, and you need
more help for certain things.
Since fnding out that he has ALS,
Ruppe has been looking for any in-
formation he can on the disease. He
has been following one mans website
who has survived 21 years with ALS.
The man, Eric, changed his life to beat
the odds, and even explains how it will
help with every neuro-degenerative
disease.
On his own website, Ruppe explains
how Eric mentions detoxing to re-
moves as many harmful toxins, metals
and chemicals from his body and he
now lives a lifestyle that keeps all of
those things out of his body.
Ruppe has changed his lifestyle to a
purely organic one, making sure not to
put any bad things into himself and de-
toxing to get anything bad out.
After learning of Ruppes diagnosis,
support has been pouring in to help
him and his family through this tough
time. Family and friends have taken on
the task of fundraising to help send
him to the Mayo Clinic.
My doctors here have hooked me
with the best neurologist over there,
thats who they want me to see, and
then he is just going to offer anything
that he can, said Ruppe.
The Mayo is sort of like a second
opinion but not quite. If there is any-
thing that they have other than what
my doctors have been dealing with
here, they will bring that up right away.
Again for me, its just another tool in the
belt, another thing to grab onto along
the way because you never know.
Ruppe and his family are grateful
for all of the support which contin-
ues to come in. Thanks to the dona-
tions Ruppe has had a chance to feel
normal, and take part in a number of
things, such as attending a number of
NHL games one of his favourite things.
This week a goal of Ruppes is coming
true, he is attending the PGA Masters
in Augusta, Georgia, which was also
made possible through the generosity
of others.
In May a fundraiser is being held to
help support Ruppe, and help cover
some of the costs incurred at the Mayo
Clinic. Any businesses or individuals
interested in donating items to Kyles
fundraiser in May can contact Kim Rup-
pe kim_ruppe@hotmail.com or Devin
Olson olsonfencing@hotmail.com prior
to April 30th.

lowed at www.KyleIsBeatingIt.com or

BRiNG THe JOY - Donald Cooper delivers a mo-
tivational speech on life and business to Strath-
more High School Students on march 28.

On life and business
Sharon McLeay
Time Contributor
Donald Cooper, a former world-
leading maker and retailer of Coo-
per sports equipment and a current
award winning fashion retailer, took
time out to deliver some inspirational
words to Strathmore High School stu-
dents on March 28.
These are fresh, energized, young
minds and souls. If I can touch minds
into being extraordinary in whatever
they do, I would feel that would be a
day well spent, said Cooper.
Many of the students relate to him
through their sports activities.
If you are involved in sports in
Canada, you probably have grown up
with the Cooper name, said Cooper
to the students.
They may not know, however, that
Cooper fundamentally redefned the
customer experience in fashion retail,
for which he received seven awards
for marketing, service and business
excellence and was voted Canadas
Outstanding Innovative Retailer by
the Retail Council of Canada.
His fashion business went against
the grain by paying closer attention
to customer wants. He offered 50
change rooms in a large complex,
allowed as many garments in the
change rooms as customers wanted,
made a fully stocked baby change
room available and offered a special-
ty drink counter as part of the shop-
ping experience. The awards led to
Coopers professional speaking in-
vitations, and he has given evolving
messages over a 20-year period.
The focus of his message to the stu-
dents was to be exceptional in their
lives, which would transfer to re-
markable and proftable businesses.
He challenged the students to con-
sider what compelling value their
lives would deliver as they journeyed
through life.
Whatever you do be extraordinary,
mediocrity is no longer an option,
said Cooper.
He encouraged them to get excited
about being involved in business and
doing it right. His PowerPoint presen-
tation illustrated several examples of
businesspersons who saw things dif-
ferent from the norm and used that
creative genius to turn small busi-
nesses into big ones.
Cooper went on to outline points
to consider in business environ-
ments, such as: business is not all
about making money but about mak-
ing a difference in the world; make
customers into fans; create emotional
connections to your company; learn
to partner with others; think of the
customer need and love what you are
doing.
Cooper said students needed clar-
ity in business and life, in order to
make important decisions. Build rela-
tionships that support that vision. In
partnerships, elements of confdence,
respect, rapport and shared vision,
values and commitment make busi-
ness sense.
We are not defned with how we
live, it is who we are, said Cooper.
Being realistic in goals is also im-
portant. He said most businesses lose
money in the frst two years, break
even in the third and make money
in the fourth and ffth year. Generate
a business plan that will fnance the
life goals you are seeking.
If it doesnt work on paper, it
wont work in real life, Cooper said.
He cautioned that some business
people let the work take over their
lives.
Make your business model ft your
lifestyle and dont let it destroy your
family.
Several students met with Cooper
to discuss the lecture..
I am involved in 4-H and we have
to do that every year. He would be a
good contact in the future if I want to
have a business, said Kaycee Stern,
who is interested in communications
and was already developing her net-
working skills. He is an amazing
public speaker.
Nav Sidhus family has a business.
He said he has seen where partners
need to make a commitment and
hang in through the fve-year process
to make a proft.
Ty Nielson and a friend are con-
sidering a business and he liked the
concept of including joy and commu-
nication as a business strategy.
Brody Miller felt the tips offered
were very practical and looked for-
ward to incorporating some of them
in his fathers garage business, if and
when he enters the family business.
Cooper, who was also featured at
the Canadian Badland Conference
held March 28-29, wished all the stu-
dents an amazing life journey.

Pursuing trade opportunities
Kevin SorenSon, M.P., Crowfoot
Parliamentary Report
By the time you are reading this news column,
the federal governments budget - Economic Ac-
tion Plan 2012 will have been unveiled. Our
Conservative government was elected in the cur-
rent uncertain global economy to stick with our
low-tax plan for jobs and growth - a plan that
has worked and is continuing to grow Canadas
economy, save existing jobs and create new jobs.
I am confdent that we will continue to work on
improving the well-being of Canadians by secur-
ing the recovery, eliminating the
defcit, investing in the key driv-
ers of long-term economic growth
and providing for the responsible
spending of taxpayers dollars.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper
will returned to Canada on March
29, to hear Finance Minister, the
Hon. Jim Flaherty, deliver the
Budget Speech in the House of
Commons. Our Prime Minister
will have completed his six-day
tour of Thailand, Japan and Korea
in pursuit of increasing Canadas
business in the Asia-Pacifc region.
Prime Minister Harper and Japa-
nese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced
the formal launch of free trade negotiations. This
would be a free trade agreement between Canada
and the worlds third-largest economy. It could in-
crease our nations GDP between $3 and $9 bil-
lion. Canadas bilateral trade last year with Japan
amounted to almost $24 billion.
Early this year I was dispatched by our govern-
ment to accept an invitation by the Japanese gov-
ernment to spend eight days in Japan. I followed
an agenda they prepared that included many
meetings with top government offcials, includ-
ing the Ministers of Agriculture, Foreign Affairs
and Public Safety. I visited Japans Agriculture &
Livestock Industries Corporation; met with the
Co-Chair of Japans Canada Committee; and, the
President of the Japan Business Federation. I was
taken on tours of numerous trading companies
including Toyota, the Mitsubishi heavy machinery
plant and the Advanced Scientifc Technology &
Management Research Institute of Kyoto.
I was alone on this mission. I knew that, for ex-
ample, the Hon. Gerry Ritz, Canadas Agriculture
Minister, and the Hon. Ed Fast, Canadas Interna-
tional Trade Minister had already been working
closely with Japanese offcials and taken the tour.
The Japanese government is also
inviting other Canadian MPs and
Canadian business executives to
take the tour and search for eco-
nomic opportunities.
You can imagine the countless
times I use the words Alberta
beef in my conversations with
everyone I met. My report to our
government declared that I was
impressed with what I saw. Ja-
pans economy has been stagnant
in the post-1980s era. Their fore-
casted economic growth since
that time did not materialize.
They are doing something about
it and they have judged that Canada is a most de-
sirable trading partner. Our Prime Minister has
responded to Japans offers by stating Canadas
openness to increasing our business ties with the
Asia-Pacifc region as a whole, including Japan.
We will pursue talks to establish if there is busi-
ness for Canadian frms and workers to secure
that will deliver economic benefts to Canada. All
successful free-trade agreements are signed only
after we are certain there is a net beneft to Can-
ada. Japans need for agriculture products means
that there will be a net beneft right here in our
riding of Crowfoot.

Redfords announcement that all conservatives
MLA should return their compensation for work not
done, is to say that it took an election to realize that
tax payers expects government representatives to be
honest and accountable. Their now paying attention
because its costing them potential voters, not be-
cause its the right thing to do.
I think what put most people off is that they were
caught, and they responded begrudgingly with well
give some of it back. Wrong answer!
These MLAs few in the face of what should have
been done in the frst place and corrected it back
four years ago when Im sure they knew hey, Im
getting a $1,000 bucks an month for doing nothing.
I mean how stupid do they think the tax payer
is anyway? Well this election will hopefully spend a
strong message to all parties about the price that gets
paid for trying to dishonestly dupe the tax payer.

Giving back what is not theirs
To the Editor
Thank-you to GHSD trustee Bob McKay for how
he represented the residents of East Wheatland at the
March 27 GHSD board meeting, where he tried to put
forth a motion to guarantee East Wheatland a new
consolidated K-12 school.
McKays motion that Golden Hills build a K-12 con-
solidated school in East Wheatland was the frst of
three he intended to make:
Motion #1-- To build a consolidated K-12 school in
East Wheatland.
Motion #2-- The location to be along Hwy #561
between #840 and #842.
Motion #3-- If the area wasnt suited for a school
the location could be revisited.
Yet after the frst motion was made, the board
amended McKays initial motion, adding to it a lo-
cation somewhere along Hwy #561 between roads
#840 and #842 and denied him the chance to make
the others.
McKay tried to explain if this was done in three
separate motions an East Wheatland school had a bet-
ter chance of success, as issues of location couldnt
block the project.
Instead, Golden Hills board decided to over-rule
the trustee elected to represent East Wheatland. The
amended motion passed 5-1.
One has to wonder about the rest of the boards
commitment to building a school in East Wheatland.
Whereas McKays motions allowed for fexibility, the
board effectively painted itself into the proverbial
corner by locking the East Wheatland school into a
general location that hasnt been proven possible.
A further twist is the second capital plan prior-
ity, a new K-9 school in Strathmore. Should the East
Wheatland project be held-up and the Strathmore
project be bumped ahead, the chances of a new K-12
in East Wheatland less than 25 miles from the new
K-9 in Strathmore are between slim and none. The
result being East Wheatland students on busses to
Strathmore or Drumheller.
In conclusion thanks once again to trustee Bob
McKay for trying to help the East Wheatland resi-
dents who elected him.

My name is Jason Hale and I want to be your next MLA.
The Wildrose is a party with new ideas and new energy.
This is exactly what I can bring to the voters in the Strath-
more/Brooks constituency. We need a fresh start and I want
to be the new fresh face you send to Edmonton.
My family roots run deep here. My great grandfather
settled here in 1910 and there have been Hales here ever
since. My wife Maggie and I, along with our two sons, run
a cow/calf operation in the Countess area. I am an Oilfeld
Consultant with hands on experience in the oil and gas
industry.
Weve lived our whole life in this constituency and we
are raising our family here. Through the years I have visited
most of the towns and villages, be it through sports, school
activities, rodeo or business.
I along with Danielle Smith and the Wildrose Caucus will:
Repeal Bills 19, 24, 36, and 50 and halt or reverse all
activities under these laws.
Elevate the status of property rights in Albertas Bill of
Rights and seek to enshrine property rights in the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Ensure, through these Constitutional protections, that
land-use laws increasing ministerial power at the expense
of property rights can never be passed again.
Cut red tape by eliminating or amending any ineffec-
tive regulations so Albertas farmers and ranchers are free
to prosper without the weight of government holding them
back.
Work to improve access to International markets for Al-
berta agricultural products by working with industry lead-
ers and the federal government to open up foreign markets.
Bring long-term stability and security to family farms
by working with the federal government to introduce insur-
ance reforms to protect Alberta farms from the effects of
unpredictable and harmful weather, and to introduce tax
reforms such as income-averaging trust accounts, to man-
age fuctuations in income and savings.
My name is Jason Hale and I want to be your next MLA.
The Wildrose Caucus stands for free enterprise, less gov-
ernment, increased personal freedom and democracy.
We need Hale insurance to insure that we dont have
another four years of PC disasters. The insurance is Jason
Hale! Vote Jason Hale.

Fule for Thought
I grew up in Canmore in the 60s and 70s. Back
then, it was still primarily a coal mining town of
about 3,000 people. In fact, when the town needed
a new Catholic church, the miners were mobilized.
My dad and many others would work an eight
hour mine shift, then the various mine shifts would
construct the church. In other words, with all the
mine shifts, there were 3-8 hour shifts on building
the church!
My family were regulars at the church as soon
as it was constructed. Oh sure, there were the odd
phantom illnesses I may have had as I got older,
but we were there a lot. I vaguely remember (but
my dad would often remind me!) that I had de-
veloped the bad habit of taking the hats off ladies
who sat in front of me. In fact, I would smack them
off, if I could!
It mustve been great fun for a fve-year-old, but
my mother was not amused. When she went to pull
me away, however, I chose that one time to slap
her face! Now this was about 1965, Pre-Woodstock
with its fower power and everybody loving ev-
erybody else! At least, I know there was no fower
power at MY house.
My dad was a slight, wiry Hungarian, who im-
migrated here in 1950. As a result, a patient discus-
sion of why I shouldnt grab hats, and then slap my
mom, never came up. Before I knew it, I was air-
borne snatched off the pew by my dads strong
miners hands! He never even waited until we were
outside the church! The dad spank began in tran-
sit! I caught a last glimpse of my pal Joey he was
of no help, HIS dad was a miner too, and Polish! I
was on my own! It was a fast pace out the church
and into the old Pontiac, where he and I spent
quality time.
There were no time-outs back then, if there
was, it was basically just for my dad to maybe rest
his hand! I know I cried, and I know my dad did
feel badly (as he said years later), but I never took
another ladys hat, and I never, ever smacked my
mom again.
A few years later, I was dragged to a Christmas
Eve Midnight Mass. We were allowed to open one
gift before Mass (early on in this bargain, I re-
alized it was just a bribe!). Anyway, I was really
sleepy. In a Catholic Mass, there is a lot of standing,
and kneeling, and hand gestures, at certain parts of
the ceremony. I was sleepy and starting to lose my
balance! Before I knew it, I had missed the padded
kneeler, and was going down! In a panic, I had
grabbed on to some old guy sitting next to me! I
latched on to his shoulder for dear life and pulled
him down with me! The last noise I heard was his
voice: Huuuuuuhhharrggh, as we both went to
the foor.
My little six-year-old body broke his fall, and
once again I got crap from my parents, as they
rushed to help the old man. I was a victim, too
I was the one UNDER him! The lecture on the way
home dealt with me being more careful, and that
we were in Church!
Nothing was said about a fve-year-old POSSIBLY
being a bit too YOUNG to be up after MIDNIGHT.
Again, I was very careful about kneeling after that.
For some reason, the old man would never sit by
us again I tried to wave he just scowled!
For a few more years, things went fairly smooth
at masses. Then came the most solemn of days
Good Friday. I was now 11 and even though my
parents had pleaded, I would NOT become an al-
tar boy it was something about wearing a gown
that didnt feel right! Anyway, I went up for com-
munion, and when I made it to the front, I was
ready to receive the communion host from my
priest. Now, he was a very serious priest, and I was
already afraid of him. I put out my hands to receive
this communion wafer, and I as I reached forward,
he let it go. The packed church came to what I
thought, was an absolute silence!
All eyes were on the priest, and me, and his eyes
were glaring at me! I was 11, I didnt know what
to do! There was no manual for 11-year-olds for
when a priest drops the communion host! His eyes
stayed riveted on me they never left the si-
lence continued I was badly blushing and morti-
fed now. Finally, he bent down, picked it up, and
slipped it into his mouth. I basically RAN back to
our pew. It literally took me years before I would
go back up there and try another communion; I
was way too traumatized and I dont think the
priest trusted me, anyway!
Much later, when Deb and I were engaged, we
had several meetings with our new priest. Deb was
United, and he asked why we wanted to be mar-
ried in the Catholic Church. Again, for all you new
grooms, dont answer: cuz your church is bigger.
Not a good answer we had a lovely wedding
in the United Church!!

A small though mighty group assisted the Youth Club of Strathmore Leadership Group in
cleaning up the Youth Centre surroundings on Saturday. Shannon Zieman, Youth Club of
Strathmore Director, led the dozen volunteers who consisted of staff, club members, the
leadership group and a few friends. We were also given a hand by a skate park user, he
jumped right in. We were grateful for another pair of hands, said Colina Clark, program staff
for the Youth Club. The Youth Club hopes to keep the area clean for their program partici-
pants and the skate park users.

To the Editor
Are you prepared to give up $13,000 dur-
ing your golden years? MP Kevin Sorenson
and Prime Minister Stephen Harper think
you are. Thats what the average Canadian
will have to give up thanks to the federal
budget introduced by the Conservative Party
last week.
The Budget cuts retirement benefts by
raising the age of eligibility for Old Age Se-
curity and the Guaranteed Income Supple-
ment from 65 to 67 years, forcing Canadians
to postpone their retirement for two years.
For low income seniors its even worse. They
stand to lose up to $30,000 which could hike
seniors poverty by up third.
Its a massive hit to the least-well off. Its
mean-spirited and its wrong.
The Conservatives offered zero fnancial
analysis to justify the cut because there is
none. The OECD, the Parliamentary Budget
Offcer and other leading experts have all
confrmed that Canada does not face a pen-
sion crisis.
The Conservatives are also using the Bud-
get making deep ideological cuts. They are
cutting $310 million from Agriculture and
Agri-Food, threatening farm risk manage-
ment programs that have seen family farms
through food, drought and disease. They are
cutting $166 million from Aboriginal Affairs,
reducing funding for the fastest growing and
most impoverished group in the country.
How skewed are these priorities? Take a
look at what the government is not cutting:
polls, advertising, bigger jails and stealth
fghters.
Canadians should be asking Stephen Harp-
er and Kevin Sorenson how they can justify
such a small-minded Canada.
Yours sincerely,
Bob Rae,
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Wheatland Whirlers
When Joe and Rosa Griffth moved
from Saskatchewan to Strathmore in
1974, there was no square dance club,
here. Joe had been appointed man-
ager of the Co-op grocery store, here
in town. The next fall, Joe formed the
Wheatland Whirlers Square Dance
Club that still dances to this day in
Westmount Elementary School.
The following March he organized
and promoted the Wearin O The
Green Square Dance, which has been
held every year since on the last
Saturday of March. Dancers are re-
quested to wear items of green cloth-
ing which can include green shirts,
blouses, skirts, and green hats, etc.
Last Saturday, March 31, was no
exception, with 140 dancers or 17
squares in attendance, from Calgary,
Nanton, Claresholm, Airdrie and
Strathmore. Callers were Dave Little-
fair and Kip Condon, with Mary Mil-
ton cueing the Rounds. There were
many green items for the lunch held
after the dance.
We visited Joe Griffth in Wheat-
land Lodge on Sunday, and he was
astounded to hear of the number in
attendance. Yes a great time was
had by all.

Ken Larson volunteers with
Victim Services and many
other organizations in the
Strathmore area. He received
the Citizen of the Year award
from the Chamber of Com-
merce in 2004. He said keep-
ing busy is not one of his
problems.
Anybody that says they
are bored hasnt tried volun-
teering in Strathmore, said
Larson.
He said that volunteers get
ten times more than they put
in. The gratitude of those he
serves makes a positive infu-
ence in his life. Another re-
ward is free courses, which
beneft the agencies and add
to personal self-development.
Employers also have called
him as a reference when vol-
unteers he has supervised
listed him as a reference on
their resumes. He said it isnt
hard to get started volunteer-
ing and suggested that even
one hour per week can be
effective.
If it wasnt for volunteers,
a lot of agencies would not
be able to do what they do,
said Larson about volunteer
contributions. He feels if
more people were to take it
to heart to help their fellow
men, the world would be a
better place.
One of Larsons pet proj-
ects is the Strathmore Re-
gional Victim Services. The
Service currently has 20 vol-
unteers and is always looking
for more. Tammy Cooper, As-
sistant Volunteer Coordina-
tor, said that they are starting
to get a better volunteer re-
sponse this year. Volunteers
work closely with the RCMP
and must have a security
clearance and take training.
She said volunteers value the
social and group interactions.
They meet once a month and
have a yearly conference in
Banff. Volunteers also get the
Volunteer and enrich your life
reward of helping others.
After a trauma call, we do a debrief-
ing and they often say Wow Ive really
made a difference in someones life,
said Cooper.
Interested parties can call Cooper at
403 934-6552 to volunteer, or potential
volunteers and those who may be vic-
tims of violence can scan the website
www.strathmoreregionalvictimservices.
com for more info.
Strathmore Heritage Days also re-
cruits a large number of volunteers.
Last year we had approximately 500
volunteers for Heritage Days, equating
to 6,000 total hours volunteered, 100 of
said volunteers were under the age of
18,said Jessica Hall, Offce Administra-
tor.
Prior to Heritage Days, volunteers
register in the offce and then commit-
tee heads contact them. People choose
areas of interest. The committee head
then coordinates with the volunteer
in order to fll the schedule and jobs
needed. Hall said they also have nu-
merous volunteers walk up throughout
the weekend wanting to give a hand.
These volunteers register at the Volun-
teer Corral, and then report to areas of
choice and/or areas they may be short.
Schedules of work accommodate the
volunteers needs. There is also an ap-
preciation banquet given for the volun-
teers prior to the event. For more de-
tails, contact Hall at sdags@telus.net or
at the offce 403.934.5811.
Sometimes people are not sure how
to fnd out about opportunities. Many
organizations in Strathmore list those
opportunities and requests in the local
papers. People can contact schools or
scan the Wheatland County and Area
Resource Directory for Charitable Orga-
nization numbers.
There is a Growing Opportunities ini-
tiative in Strathmore, www.bridgingth-
egapalberta.ca that helps link organi-
zations with the plus 55 volunteer. It is
also listed on the Town of Strathmore
website. Organizations list their oppor-
tunities and requirements and volun-
teers can choose their assignments, all
on the website.
The program is very successful. Old-
er volunteers are mentoring younger
people in many of the opportunities,
said WFCSS spokesperson Sharon Ti-
beau.
The www.volunteeralberta.ca website
is also a good resource for volunteers
and agencies alike.

According to this years Stats Canada fgures, the
volunteer rate in Alberta is up seven per cent, with
over 57 per cent of Albertans somehow involved
in volunteer activity. The average hours devoted to
volunteerism has dropped to around 100 hours per
person, which may be because 57 per cent are em-
ployed.
Karen Lynch, Executive Director of Volunteer Al-
berta said that organizations must address the vol-
unteer sector challenges.
Albertans have always been generous with their
time and that hasnt changed. However, there are
some warning signs for our sector, said Lynch.
Volunteerism isnt disappearing, but volunteers are
changing. The people who are volunteering today
arent the same as the people who were volunteer-
ing fve years ago. They have different reasons for
volunteering and they want to be engaged in dif-
ferent ways. It is crucial that non-proft/voluntary
organizations adjust to the changing landscape and
engage people in the ways that they want to be
engaged.
In an interview on Alberta Primetime, Lynch
pointed to a joint study by Volunteer Canada and
Manulife, www.volunteer.ca/study , about what vol-
unteers say about the subject.
The study indicated that volunteers want the ex-
perience to match their life stage whether they are
young, career-oriented, have families or are baby
boomers. For example, while youth want to volun-
teer with people of their own age, family volunteers
prefer group activities that include their children,
and boomers are interested in the organizations.
Agencies need to adapt to life demands and life-
style schedules. Canadians are more goal-oriented
and have more structure in their lives; they are tech-
no-savvy, interested in many things and self-reliant.
Agencies also need to learn to give, so they can get.
Volunteers didnt like organizational politics and a
feeling that they were not making a real difference.
The report suggests that to engage, volunteer
agencies need to design specifc roles, be open-
minded and communicate what the experience can
offer. Be organized, but not too bureaucratic and
match skills to the needs of the organization; dont
assume everyone wants to use the same skills that
they bring to the table. Provide opportunity to work
in groups and have a social experience, or allow
volunteers to create a new approach to the activity.
With busy schedules, volunteers want shorter term,
fexible assignments.

Westmount Elementary recently
found out half of the current play-
ground equipment will have to be re-
moved within the year, due to potential
arising safety concerns.
Not all of the current equipment is
going to be removed, though almost
everything with a wood base and some
of the metal equipment that is begin-
ning to rust is on the list to be removed.
Some of that stuffs been here I
think since the school opened. Things
like those swing sets have been here
for that long, said Dana Graff, West-
mounts associate principal.
Golden Hills School Division (GHSD)
has a maintenance department that in-
spects the playground equipment at its
schools, and this year Westmount was
told they have about a year left before
they have to pull some of the equip-
ment out.
The playground is divided into two
sections, with a Division I area and a
Division II area. Between the two areas
there are approximately 225 students
using each of the playgrounds during
recess every day.
All of the swings in the Division I
playground will be removed. A Divi-
sion II playground structure along with
other various monkey and parallel bars
and the Division II teeter totters will
also be removed, said Graff in the letter
to the parents.
The division one playground equip-
ment is natural looking. So theres big
boulders and the colours and stuff will
match the naturalization area, so it will
all ft in there in sort of that natural
theme, said Graff.
A playground committee has been
set up to raise funds for the new equip-
ment the school hope to purchase. The
estimated cost of the project is approxi-
mately $300,000.
Theres no help at all, its totally up
to the school to fundraise for it, said
Graff.
Graff said the committee plans to
apply for the Community Facility En-
Times TidbiTs

from Standard
hancement Program (CFEP) grant.
CFEP will match up to $125,000 and
Graff said they plan to have at least that
before applying for the grant.
Fundraising has already begun; there
is a coin jar for anyone wishing to drop
off his or her spare change to help out.
Anyone wishing to donate can go to
the offce to deliver his or her dona-
tion. On April 21 a dinner theatre is be-
ing offered to also help raise funds.
April 21 were going to have a sort
of dinner theatre with a silent auction,
and our theatre will be our drama pro-
duction, said Graff.
A design of what the equipment will
look like can be found at Westmount
School, just past the offce at the front
entrance of the school. The hope is
to have everything completed and in-
stalled by this fall.

Cancer is still a scary word, and has
affected almost everyone in one way
or another. Thanks to the continued
support and outpouring of donations
made globally every year, the fght
against cancer is getting stronger.
After being personally affected by
cancer in some way or another, fve
local men are training to participate
in the ride to conquer cancer. Co-
lin Lenox, Chris Iversen, Wes Lewis,
Armand Pinel, and Strathmore High
School student Jonah Zankl are prepar-
ing for the ride, which begins June 23.
I got involved after I had several
students pass away, some friends and
my father fnally passed away from
prostate cancer, and caused me to want
to fnd something to do to number one
lessen my chance of getting it, which
exercise is a great way for men to de-
crease their chance of prostate cancer,
said Lenox.
This just came up, and I saw it one
day and said yeah I want to do that
and started doing it.
Im pretty much the same, I have a
couple of family members that have
battled cancer and lost to cancer. Co-
lin and I both teaching in the same
school, weve seen the same students
pass away too, so its something thats
hit us, said Iversen.
Cancer is a widespread disease, and
thanks to certain cancers being in the
spotlight, such as breast cancer, the
publicity and support have made it a
very treatable thanks to early detection
and knowledge.
I think if we can start doing the
same thing for a variety of other can-
cers, prostate cancer, everything else,
by putting the funds into it we can
maybe get the word out, said Lenox.
We can also have a lot of, basical-
ly the research donewho knows. It
might be 2012s ride that raises just
enough money that the right mixture
in a test tube happens and weve got
it.
Lenox and Lewis participated in the
ride last year. It is the frst year for the
other three members of the team. The
ride spans two days, and over 200 kilo-
metres. Lenox said in 2011 there were
2,300 riders, with $8.6 million raised.
He would like to see that number reach
$12 million this year.
I just knew in the frst 20 minutes
this wasnt going to be a one time
thing, it was going to keep happening.
You see the people with the yellow
fags, theyre the cancer survivors, and
you get a chance to ride next to them
and talk to them, and the inspiration is
amazing, said Lenox.
It really truly is inspiring in every
way, you dont just have to ride. Its
challenging, but its designed to be that
way. Its designed to make you put out
at least a little bit towards what some
loved one, or some child, thats sitting
in the Alberta Childrens Hospital hav-
ing chemo right now is going through.
Thats what this whole thing is about,
its so cool it truly is, I cant say enough
about it.
This is what it is all about, people
banding together to support each oth-
er. Why am I doing it? Because there is
somebody out there who cant. Thats
what were doing it for, because that
kid who is in the Childrens Hospital or
Riding to fnd a cure
Five local men make up the team Prairie Winds. They are fundraising for, and will be riding in, the
enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer in June. The men were at No Frills on march 18, to promote aware-

The frst annual Strathmore Whole Health
Expo took place Saturday and Sunday.
With a great turnout from the town, over 25
exhibitors with great products and informa-
tion, and a fabulous set of speakers, we
couldnt be happier! There is no way this
event would have been as great without the
amazing support of many, and we would
like to offer our immense gratitude to all.
We would like to frst thank the community
for supporting this event. Your generous
donations to the Wheatland Food Bank and
the Growing Families Society will promote
a healthier community. We hope that you
found something this weekend to help you
towards a healthier you. Congratulations to
all the winners of the various door prizes
and to the Grand Prize winners Heather and
Troy Rederburg. They took home a $250
gift certifcate to Rocking R Guest Ranch
and a Sobeys wine basket valued over $80.
Thank you to our fabulous sponsors!! The
Strathmore Times for their generous sup-
port. A special thank you to Mario Prusina,
publisher, for seeing our vision and jumping
on board, your community spirit is appreci-
ated.
Thank you to the Newsy Neighbour for
your generosity and hard work, and for
putting up with us nubes, cant wait to see
whats next.
Thanks to the Anchor Weekly for their sup-
port with ad space. It is mainly because of
these three locally owned publications that
anybody even knew we were here!
Thank you to Totem for the donation of
popcorn for the weekend (and to all the staff
that bagged it!), everyone was made a little
happier for the Happy movie.
To Jump House Gymnastics and the Matrix
Cheer team you all rock! The kids had
a great time hanging in your super cool
space, and the parents appreciated it too.
Thank you to the rest who sponsored in a
myraid of ways Rocking R Guest Ranch,
Scotiabank, Town of Strathmore, Sobeys,
Ron Hammermeister, wheatlandrecreation.
ca, Synergy in Motion, Natural Rhythmz,
Hatha Yoga with Becky Stone.
Our vision was to create a place of learning
and so we thank the featured speakers for
braving the stage and sharing wisdom and
wit with all of us: Dr. Tonya Coutts of Back
to Health; Tracey Stokoe of Synergy in
Motion/Go Be Do Fitness; Jennifer Forbes
of Foothills Fetal Alcohol Society; Maureen
Speidel of Chestermere Life Path Wellness
Center; Margery Weatherby, iridologist;
David Dyck (Explosion Man) of End 2 End
Colonics; Keith Hampton of ProArgi-9; and
Keith Fagin of Calgary 420.
Each and every one of these donated their
time and energy to share with the com-
munity your passion for your respective
felds shone through. Thank you to Ailsa
Forbes of Simply Holistic for creating such
lovely thank you gifts for all of the speak-
ers. Thank you Kathryn Stone for keeping
the stage running so smoothly.
Thank you to all the businesses that took
part as exhibitors! Without you all (taking a
risk on a brand new show), there wouldnt
have been one. We are blessed to have such
passionate advocates of products or services
that help us live healthier lives. It was so
neat to see the interaction not only between
vendor and customer, but also between
the vendors themselves. A common belief
system is what creates a community, and
one was certainly created this weekend.
We hope that the weekend was successful
for every one of you, and that that success
follows you all year. Cant wait to see you
all again!
And last but not least! To the group of
people that made it happen: without you this
idea would have stayed an idea, with you
our vision grew into reality, and I cannot
wait to see what else we can create: Donna
Shortt and Connie McDonald thank you
for sticking through the hard stuff to see it
through to completion; to Amanda Mus-
selman and Lorraine Hammermeister for
stepping up to the plate and hitting it out of
the park; to Tracey Stokoe for busting your
butt and driving the miles; to my husband
Adam for always cleaning up behind me at
the same time you hold open the door. And
to the ladies that let me start without you
it wouldnt have even started. Thank you
for pushing me off the ledge so I learned I
could fy.
If we have missed anyone please forgive
us it is only a temporary memory lapse
because the gratitude we have runs deep!
We look forward to seeing everyone at the
next Expo, January 12, 2013. Until then,
keep healthy and happy.
Becky Stone,
Chairperson
Strathmore Whole Health Expo Association
Strathmore Whole
Health Expo is
a Success!
that person that is undergoing chemo
or radiation therapy right now, maybe
I am going to be riding next to them
next year, thats the cool part.
To quote others that have said it,
they say the pain that we go through
on the ride is nothing compared to
what someone fghting cancer goes
through anyways, said Iversen.
Riding and donating are not the only
ways people can help out. By going to
conquercancer.ca people can look into
becoming a member for some of the
support teams.
Many people are needed to help put
everything together; they need motor-
cycle riders who ride ahead of the pack
and make sure it is safe for the riders,
there are people riding in vans to pick
up people who are maybe cramping,
rest station help, people to set up the
tents at the main camp.
The fve men have a combined goal
of raising a minimum of $13,200 and
to date have raised $7,779.45. To do-
nate to the team go to www.conquer-
cancer.ca and look for team Prairie
Winds. Otherwise, you can donate to
an individual rider by entering their
name into the search bar.

Different schemes to get
your money have been tak-
ing place for centuries, and
over time have evolved to ft
the times. These days more
and more scams are taking
place through online sourc-
es, such as Kijiji. The com-
pany Kijiji itself, and others
like it, are not to blame, as
they will ban a person when
they fnd out, however, all
the person would have to
do is get a new IP address
to be back in business.
Thats a common theme,
weve seen it here, its kind
of the explosion of Kijiji and
the Internet and all that,
said Sgt. Kevin Reilly with
the Strathmore RCMP.
Recently, and I mean in
the last two months Ive
probably seen different
fles here that are exactly
that. They say, oh Im sell-
ing $100,000 trailer and ffth
wheel and this guy calls up
and says absolutely Ill pay
it but I need $1,000 to fx
my truck and I dont have
that, could you send me
the $1,000 and then I could
drive down there and pick
that up, and so they do. Its
like if he doesnt have the
$1,000 where is he coming
up with the $100,000?
Scams such as this are
becoming more and more
common, and some of the
people perpetuating them
have even been using a fake
Paypal page as a way to try
to convince people to send
money.
The Paypal page will say
the money is there in your
account, but it has a hold
on it, which means you still
need to send the money to
be able to access the mon-
ey. Its not very logical, but
there are instances where
people not knowing any
better have sent the money
requested.
Anything that says youll
get this if you send us this
much money, youre almost
guaranteed that its not true.
If theres anything from out
of the country I would sug-
gest that you probably re-
ally think about it, said
Reilly.
I would be very cautious
about anything on Kijiji
where youre sending mon-
ey in any regard, whether
its you buying something
or you trying to sell some-
thing. If youre trying to sell
something then why are
you sending money, if they
are giving away things for
free why are you sending
money?
Most of us have seen those
Ally Bank Commercials, es-
pecially the one where the
man (banker) offers a pony
and one girl gets a real one,
and the other gets a toy
one. He then blames it on
the one girl for not asking if
she was getting a real pony.
Reilly said some of the
schemes may not even fall
under fraud and encourages
buyer beware thinking from
people.
Really is it a fraud if I say
Im going to send you this
car but youve got to give me
$1,000 and then I send you
a matchbox car. I havent
lied, you just thought it was
a real car, said Reilly.
Its partly a buyer be-
ware, but its also partly
common sense and know-
ing does this make sense.
For bigger purchases,
such as a new car or a ffth
wheel, which could likely be
rather expensive purchases,
usually no more than a de-
posit is asked for and Reilly
doesnt believe it would be
more than $1,000.
When picking up the ve-
hicle, then the rest of the
money would be paid, and
Reilly said if someone else
is picking it up then it is
best to get a confrmation
that you are getting what
you wanted before releasing
the rest of the money.
There are things you can
do to protect yourself, if you
think something is strange
it probably is. If it is too
good to be true, it probably
is, said Reilly.
If youre in doubt, speak
to your family and friends
and see what they think,
and then if no one really
knows then maybe call us.
There are other ways to fg-
ure it out, dont try and do
it yourself.
Other popular schemes
are the ones where some-
one is offering to give away
an animal, say a dog, but
they are in Africa and need
money sent to them to be
able to send you your new
pet. The people can be con-
vincing and may even have
family photos with the pet.
Another popular scam
that is getting a new twist
is the home speaker scam.
Years ago people would
drive around with useless,
cheap, speakers in the back
of their vehicle. The speak-
ers would be dressed up
in a box promoting a high
quality product. The people
in the vehicle would then
approach someone and
make up some excuse as to
why they need to get rid of
these speakers, and how the
person they are talking to
is getting such a great deal
if they buy them for only
a couple hundred dollars.
Projection Televisions have
mostly replaced the speak-
ers but the game is still the
same, it is a scam.
Crowther memorial Junior High held its 26 annual spaghetti dinner and silent auction on march 28. The money raised from the
dinner goes towards sending the Grade 9 students to eastern Canada. The Grade 9 students also served the dinner, and bussed
the tables.
Annual dinner again a success

duty mechanics course before open-
ing his own Auto Body Shop in North
Battleford. Later in life, he joined the
exodus from Saskatchewan to Alberta,
where he worked in the Priddis area,
southwest of Calgary for 10 years. This
is where he met Doris, and they were
married in 2003 in Belize.
From previous marriages,
they have two daughters
and a son.
Following retirement in
2005, they moved to Glei-
chen, where they have re-
ally got involved with different groups.
They were approached soon after they
moved, by Ivy Bogstie (see March 9,
2012 article), who asked for their assis-
tance in refurbishing the Field of Hon-
our. Assistance for this project was pro-
vided by Wheatland County. Following
this, they repaired the WW1 Cenotaph,
originally completed in 1919, and built
of granite from Quebec. Then they
raised the necessary funds, to con-
struct a new WW2 Cenotaph. Both
honour members of First Nations, who
also served in both World Wars.
The past history of Gleichen was
revisited in 2010, when the town cel-
ebrated its Centennial. Visitors came
from across Canada to take part in the
celebration. Earlier, Doris had created
a monthly column in the local paper
called And, thats a Gleichen Fact.
Her column was greatly enjoyed by
readers across Canada, who used it to
fnd people who had been
former residents.
Communities in Bloom
is a Canada-wide competi-
tion for small towns and
villages. With Doris at the
helm, Gleichen has become
a well-respected participant Doris has
served on The Fall Fair Board for a
number of years. As this event is main-
ly for women, she had George orga-
nize a Show and Shine for the men,
and both are held in late August. Doris
spends many hours completing appli-
cation forms for grants to fnance proj-
ects for the AG Society, the Community
Centre, Gleichen in Bloom, and other
projects.
Currently, Doris is helping George
recover from open heart surgery,
which took place in early March. They
are both recognized for their volunteer
spirit in this area.

Times Contributor
Like all immigrants coming to Cana-
da, Doris and Georges roots originated
in Europe. Their forefathers came to
this country to make a better life for
their families. Doris grandfather, Axel
Lindman, was born in Sweden and em-
igrated frst to the U.S., then to the Syl-
van Lake area, where he homesteaded
in 1900. Her maternal grandparents,
the Deerings and Frischs originated
in Bessarabia. On arriving in Canada
in the 1920s, they were sent to Hilda,
near Medicine Hat. The country of
Bessarabia has been renamed Moldo-
va and can be found on current maps
south and west of Ukraine. Doris was
born in Red Deer in 1951, and has one
brother living on Vancouver Island.
George, an only child, was born at
Rabbit Lake, Sask in 1941. His pater-
nal family was also born in Bessarabia,
and moved frst to the U.S., then Can-
ada. Originally, Georges family sur-
name was Bischoff but it was changed
to Bishop when they entered the U.S.
Around this time, there was a land
agent called Emil Greisbach, who was
responsible for bringing many Europe-
ans to S.E. Alberta, where he sold them
land. Coincidentally, Doris and George
live on Greisbach Street in Gleichen.
Doris became a teacher in 1978, and
taught all grades except kindergar-
ten. She taught at High River, Strath-
more, Standard, Hussar, Arrowwood
and Gleichen over 30 years. She also
became profcient in music and reli-
gious study courses, which stood her
well throughout life, when she taught
Sunday School and served on church
boards.
George advised the most gratifying
job that he ever had was his service
with the Royal Canadian Army Service
Corps, where he specialized in heavy
lift operations. After his discharge he
attended SAIT, where he took a heavy

HIRING!
Shannon LeCLair
Time Reporter
On March 26 Southern California humour col-
umnist George Waters wrote a not-so-humourous
column. That day Waters wrote in his blog, the WA
blog, that he had found 42 examples of plagiarism
affecting him and 14 other writers from this past
year.
The person accused of allegedly plagiarizing
these works is Steve Jeffrey, editor/publisher of
the Chestermere Anchor. Jeffrey is also the current
president of the Strathmore and District Chamber
of Commerce.
The next day Jeffrey resigned from his position
as editor and was quoted in the Calgary Herald as
saying I really dont have any way to defend my-
self. I did use articles for inspiration, but thought
that I had changed the content enough to comply.
Dennis Merrell, Executive Director for the Al-
berta Weekly Newspaper Association (AWNA) said
they are gratifed to see that Jeffrey acted swiftly
in resigning as editor of the paper, and has also
resigned from his position on the board of direc-
tors for the Alberta Weekly Newspaper Associa-
tion.
Merrell said he has not spoken with Jeffrey, but
said he did receive an e-mail from him stating that
he is resigning while the issue is ongoing, which
suggests to him that Jeffrey is taking some respon-
sibility.
Obviously the association does not condone
plagiarizing newspaper columns, or columns from
blogs or from any source for that matter, its just
not something that we support, or encourage,
said Merrell.
Until our board considers the issues I cant re-
ally say anything much more other than the fact
that its a serious issue for us, and we were cer-
tainly disheartened over the fact that one of our
member newspapers has found itself in this posi-
tion and certainly not something that we would
support or condone in any way, shape, or form.
Waters has opted to fle a formal complaint
against the Anchor with the Alberta Press Council.
I do not know what powers of censure they
have, but they should defnitely be made aware of
the depth of the ethics violations of their member
paper. Litigation is expensive, and cross-border
litigation probably even more so, said Waters.
Mr. Jeffrey has resigned as editor, but if he re-
mains involved with The Anchor as publisher, or
in any other substantial way, I think the writers,
as a group, might reconsider that cost. Judging by
his bio, Mr. Jeffrey has had several careers, and
its my hope he moves on from this experience in
publishing and fnds his next one, soon.
Sheila Moss, also a humour columnist from Ten-
nessee, allegedly had 25 of her works plagiarized
by Jeffrey.
If there is a lesson that should be learned here,
it is that just because something is funny or on the
Internet doesnt mean it is free for the taking. The
same laws that protect other creative works, also
protect humor, said Moss.
People who call themselves writers and then
steal the works of others not only destroy their
own reputation and credibility, they embarrass
our profession and are judged harshly for it.
The most recent article plagiarized was Its a
social media world in the March 22 paper, was
allegedly originally written by Sheila Moss. Before
posting his on his blog last Monday, Waters sent
a list of comparison links to Andrew Beaujon at
Poynter.org in order to have a different pair of
eyes verify his fndings.
Waters doesnt know how long the alleged pla-
giarism has been happening since he could only
fnd archives going back one year. Shortly after
Waters posted his column on Jeffrey, he states all
back issue archives of the Anchor were removed
from public view.

expreSSionS the DanCe GaLLery
The EDG (Expressions the Dance Gallery) com-
petitive dance team received amazing results at
their frst competition of the season.
Entering 27 dances in the Catch A Rising Star
Dance Festival March 22 -24, 2012 the EDG team
came out on top. The festival had over 400 entries
competing in Stettler Alberta. There was a great
level of talent that performed all weekend says
Heather Thomas director of EDG.
We were really thrilled with the turn out and
caliber of talent, says Heather. Our students shone.
They were so excited to put their feet on the stage
and show off all the hard work they had put in
preparing for this competitive season.
Medal awards were given by a marking system,
bronze, silver, gold and high gold along with spe-
cial plaques in each section for the Most Promis-
ing dancer or routine and the Most Outstanding
dancer or routine. EDG was thrilled to receive
some of the highest marks in the festival with 15
gold medals, 6 high gold medals, 6 silver medals,
10 Outstanding dancer or routine awards, 4 most
promising dancer or routine awards.
Heather Thomas says that the most exciting part
of the weekend was that four of the EDG students
also won overalls. This is a huge honor to place
that high out of so many routines and to be recog-
nized and remembered by the judges.
Sydni Sundgaard - received a scholarship to a
summer dance program for the outstanding junior
soloist
Sammi Stewart - received the most memorable
solo performance (at the age of 4)
Lane Habing - received the most promising ju-
nior soloist
Desirae Thomas - received the overall high score
for the studio with a 94 and the overall high score
out of all the Hip hop and Variety Solos and Du-
ets.
I am so proud of all our competitors and I re-
ally look forward to see their progress over the
next four competitions they are entered in, says
Heather.

Behind their solid goaltending, air-tight defence and a
spread-out offence, the Wheatland Chiefs claimed the
SCAHL, sweeping the Lethbridge Hounds 3-0.
After taking Game 1, the Chiefs hammered the Hounds
8-1 in Game 2 on March 28 at the Strathmore Family Centre,
before winning Game 3 on the road March 30 by a 4-1 tally.
According to Chiefs head coach Devin Olson, the Chiefs
got off to a hot start in the series clinching game and never
looked back.
We had a good start a lot better than we have been,
said Olson (We) come out fying and did the things we
needed to in a smaller barn against a smaller team. They
just dumped the puck in and hit them hard, like we were
telling them, and they listened.
The Chiefs were dominant in the championship series,
outscoring the Hounds 17-3, proving that they had the right
mixture of defence and offence. Overall, the Chiefs lost only
one game in the post season and outscored their opposition
37-12.
According to Olson, the teams solid goaltending of Jake
Smith and Dakota Taylor was the key to the Chiefs success.
Both of our goalies played really well in the playoffs
for us, said Olson. We went with Jake for the fnals just
because hed been on a hot streak, so you kind of have to
ride him out. They (both) kept us in games in the frst pe-
riods when we didnt come out (well). We allowed a lot of
chances - and it changes a game in a hurry if theyre up 2-0
instead of us.
Our goaltending was probably the strongest part of our
playoff (run). If you dont have good goaltending, youre
not going to win.
Despite not having the best record during the regular
season, the Chiefs were still the team to beat, according to
Olson. Their physical brand of hockey, mixed with the fact
they were the defending champions, had them feeling very
optimistic.
According to Olson, winning last year was great, but this
year was just a tad sweeter.
I think we had to go through a lot more (adversity) this
year, said the coach. Last year, we had the skill and we re-
ally depended on one line. This year we needed everybody
to show up we didnt have that one dominant line. We had
three lines that did our scoring all year. If one line didnt
show up, that made a huge difference to the team.
We tried to pressure teams the more you pressure
them, the more they cough it up or make those mistakes,
then you try and capitalize.

Chiefs repeat as SCAHL champs!
Warriors run
out of gas
Grade 6 Brentwood Elementary students were learning the skill of the game during their
practice on March 22. Brentwood, Wheatland and Westmount Schools are all taking part
in the new basketball program being taught by some of Strathmores coaches.

Seven games in seven days may
have cost the Wheatland Warriors a
chance at the SCAHL Championship.
The local bantam double-A team
competed at the provincial champi-
onship late last month, before resum-
ing their best-of-fve championship
series in Strathmore.
After splitting Games 3 and 4,
the Warriors made the long drive to
Cranbrook, where they lost the ffth
and decisive game 6-1 on March 29.
We were gassed the kids were
trying hard and everything, but they
gave everything they had in Game 4
(a 3-2 overtime loss) and they didnt
have enough in the tank (for Game
5), said Warriors head coach Paden
Grant. We were running off of fumes,
kids were getting sick and it was our
seventh game in seven days.
They gave it a good run and they
tried their best, but they just didnt
have anything left.
According to Grant, the turning
point in the series was not being able
to clinch the championship in Game
4, after a solid 6-4 win in Game 3.
That was our game to win, he
said. We spent everything we had in
that game, it was tough. We had to
put up with a lot with the scheduling
it wasnt their fault we had to play
all those games in a row. They never
complained and they just kept com-
ing to the rink and give everything
they had.
In the end, it was more who can
outlast the endurance test rather than
who was the better team.
The Warriors, who fnished the
regular season with a 19-8-6 record,
where a hard working team that al-
lowed the least amount of goals
against in the North Division.
According to Grant, they didnt
have a lot of offensive weapons, but
they had a team that could roll four
lines and outwork the opposition.
Despite not winning the league
championship, the season can be
classifed a success.
Im extremely proud of everyone,
said Grant. Im really happy with the
way the season went. The team al-
ways came to the rink ready to work
were all a family and you actually
had that feeling with this team.
That was the reason we went as
far as we did.

Indus Minor Hockey
The Indus Hurricanes Bantam team
had a stellar performance as they trav-
elled to Hythe, Alberta on March 22,
to represent IMHA in the Bantam D
provincials.
They came out on fre against the
hosting team, the Hythe Mustangs
beating them solidly with a score of
13-8. They followed this with a score of
17-1 against the Calmar Cobras. Red-
water Rush wasnt about to give up,
even though the Hurricanes scored in
the frst 20 seconds of the game. The
boys battled hard but the game ended
with a score of 3-2 for Redwater.
This placed the Hurricanes second
in their pool, bringing them against
the Spirit River Rangers in the semi-
fnal game. The Rangers jumped ahead
fast leading by three in the frst period
(5-2). The Hurricanes never gave up
and they pushed hard in the second
period, each team added one goal to
the score (6-3). The Hurricanes worked
hard to win the third period, but alas
the clock ran out before they could
win the game, the fnal score was 7-5.
The Spirit River Rangers would go
on to beat the Redwater Rush with a
score of 8-5.
The level of effort they gave on the
ice, the sportsmanship they portrayed
and the respect they gave their coach-
es, opponents, and offcials was out-
standing.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO
HOST PROVINCIALS
SHannon LecLair
Times Reporter
The indoor soccer season is over for
another year, and the U14 boys Spur
team fnished with a gold medal win.
The Spurs played within the Calgary Mi-
nor Soccer league, after being approved,
and were in Edmonton to compete in
the Inter-cities last month.
The boys had a rough start to the sea-
son, but after Christmas and the seeding
round was done, they were tiered more
to their level.
From there thats where we really ex-
celled and our team I think started to
gel together, so we were actually unde-
feated in the second half of the season,
said coach Dennis Klem.
In the frst half of the season the team
played eight games, won one, lost fve
and tied two that was during the seed-
ing round. Then in the playoff round
after being reseeded the team played
nine games, won seven, tied two and
lost zero.
After placing frst in their Tier 5 play-
off round, the boys were given an op-
portunity to play in Inter-cities. Klem
said Inter-cities are considered the pro-
vincial level and it was exciting for the
boys to get to that level considering the
slower start to the season.
In there we got to play the top two
teams out of Calgary and we also got
to play the top two teams out of Edmon-
ton. During the Inter-cities we actually
faired pretty good. We won two games
and tied our last games, so that was able
to give us a gold medal for the Inter-city
aspect, said Klem.
Klem attributes the successful end
to the season to the boys beginning to
gel together and anticipate some of the
passes. The forwards were helping out
to cover in the defensive end when nec-
essary. Klem said goalie Nick Torrez was
a powerful goalie, and helped in a lot
of situations. Klem did say there were a
couple of other guys that stepped up to
plate as goalie in his occasional absence
or injury.
I was quite proud of how the boys
conducted themselves during the play-
off round there in Edmonton. It was
fairly clean play, there werent any is-
sues from the reffng they showed re-
ally good sportsmanship, and that was
actually not just our teams but all teams
that we played against, said Klem.
Outdoor season is set to begin in the
next couple of weeks, and new felds
will be ready for use when the weather
warms up.

Silhouettes have successful
start to competitive season
Tara SmiTh
Head coach,
Strathmore Silhouettes
The competitive gymnas-
tics season is well under
way for the Strathmore Sil-
houettes gymnastics team.
They have competed in Le-
thbridge, Medicine Hat, and
the most recent competition,
the Kyle Shewfelt Gymnas-
tics Festival, where the team
experienced great success.
The competition, which is
held at the University of
Calgary, is a fairly large
competition, with many
competitors from many dif-
ferent clubs, some from out
of province. All of the team
members of the Strathmore
Silhouettes had a very suc-
cessful meet, with some hav-
ing one of their best compe-
titions ever. Kate Barrett, age
9, Jaymie Smith, age 9 and
Delaney Carless, age 13 all
won their provincial level
and age category.
Geena Schramm and
Kasandra Greig were sec-
ond overall in their levels,
and Sophie Sanders, the
clubs youngest competitor
at 8-years-old, came third
overall in her category.
This was the second annu-
al Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics
Festival, which emphasizes
fun, high energy and sports-
manship. It is hosted by the
University of Calgary and
three time Olympian Kyle
Shewfelt, who is a big sup-
porter of Right To Play, an
organization whose mission
is To improve the lives of
children in some of the most
disadvantaged areas of the
world by using the power
of sport and play for devel-
opment, health and peace.
(taken from the Right To Play
website: http://www.rightto-
play.com/canada/about-us/
Pages/mission.aspx).
The next competition
in the line up is Southern
Zones (trials to Provincials)
which was on March 31, and
was attended by Delaney
Carless, Shelby Stephens
and Kasandra Greig.
Strathmore Handi BuS update
Once again the Handibus service continues to operate in order
to provide easy access for seniors who are handicapped or
disabled and are eligible to use a handicapped transportation.
We are so privileged to be in such support by the community of
Strathmore and Town area. We solely rely on the donations and
contributions from sponsors and corporate businesses. As the
cost of operation increased, the Board is continuing fundraising
events in order to maintain a good balanced budget.
The Strathmore Handibus Association sincerely thanks Lori
Christensen who presented a cheque of $5000.00 from the Carse-
land Public Benefts Club as well as Sylvia Westgard from the
Royal Canadian Ladies Auxiliary with the amount of $1000.00
The Board has also welcomed new member to the association,
Mr. Don Cuthill, Councilor of the Village Standard.
We would like for our seniors to know that we have a client sat-
isfaction card in the handibus. We may have to place these cards
within Lodge facilities for your convenience. Any concerns, issues
or complaints, please do not hesitate to contact the handibus
dispatch
As Board of the Handibus Association, it is our goal to provide
transportation to seniors while establishing a level of trust. It is im-
portant to us that everyone is being treated fairly and respectfully
in accordance with courteous manner. The Board is committed to
pursue such goal and is doing their very best to promote strategies
while ensuring our clients safety, convenience and satisfaction.
We sincerely thank everyone from the community who has con-
tributed and continuously supports this organization. Our Board is
doing an awesome job at keeping it together!
Ice Cats end season on a high
mel BoSchee
Strathmore Ice Cats
This weekend wrapped up the ringette season for
the year for our Strathmore Ice Cats. The year-end
tournament was held at Indus and it was packed
with a full day of fun and great competition.
The Ice Cats started arriving at the Indus rink at
7:30 a.m. (a little later for some ) to get ready for
the 8 a.m. game.
Although it was early, the Ice Cats were ready
to take on the hometown Indus Lightning Black.
When the Ice Cats stepped on the ice you could
see the skates were powerful, and the girls were
all determined.
When the fnal buzzer sounded, the Ice Cats
went into the dressing room with the frst win of
the day by a score of 15-3.
The second game came at 11:45 a.m. against
the other hometown team, the Indus Lightning
Yellow. The frst period was not one of the Ice
Cats strengths and they were down 5-1. The Ice
Cats did not give up hope and persevered into the
second period after a short chat with Coach Lana,
Coach Casey and Coach Kevin. Whatever was said,
the Ice Cats came out hotter than a frecracker. It
was back and forth and Indus Lightning fgured
out what it was like to be in a game with the Ice
Cats. Final score ended up with the Ice Cats on
top 10-9.
The Ice Cats had a four-hour layover before
their third and fnal game of the year. It was a big
game against the Ice Cats home town rival Strath-
more Ice Devils. Both teams were buzzing, but the
coaches were not sure if it was just the sugar high
most of the girls were on. This was it, this was for
all the marbles so to speak. The Ice Cats came out
of the dressing room and turned it on. They were
determined, unwavering and dominant. After the
frst period the score was 5-2 but knowing their
hometown rivals, the Ice Cats knew this was not
enough of a lead to keep the Ice Devils at bay.
The second period started and the Ice Devils
caught the Ice Cats on their heels. Coach Lana
called a time out at 3:48 left in the game. It was all
tied up 7-7. It was a nail bitter and the fans were at
the edge of their seats. The last goal of the season
came at 2:08 and Ice Cats thought they were com-
ing out with a win. The goal was disallowed and
the Ice Cats and Ice Devils ended the season even-
steven. There was no disappointment and it was
a fantastic end to a great and entertaining season.
Weekend goals were scored by Mackenzie Han-
son, Cayley Boschee, Ainsley Olson, Justine Larson,
Shelby Lane, Megan Brooks, Reagan Bogusky, Pay-
ton Jensen, Mackenzie Duggan, Hannah Arsenault.
These goal scorers were nothing without the hot-
shot goaltending of Tessa Davidson, and of course
the play set-up crew, Laura Sader and Makayla
Grant.
Every one of the Ice Cats played their hearts out
and not one gal left the building without a point,
whether it was a goal or an assist. The true spirit of
a team. Avery Aleman was not at the tournament
and was missed by all. Ice Cats ROCK, great sea-
son, great times see you all next year!

nastics Festival. The team with three time Olympian Kyle Shewfelt. From left
