The much-anticipated Centennial Galahas come and gone, leaving behindmemories of a wonderful night. It took
seven long months of planning to get ev-erything just right for the Oct. 15 event.
In my personal opinion, I thoughtthe Gala provided what the committeepromised, a tting way to say HappyBirthday to our favorite town, said Cen-tennial committee member and Council-lor Bob Sobol.There were 247 people who attended
the event, coming close to the 300 theCentennial Committee was hoping todraw in. The Brentwood choir was inattendance singing Oh Canada, and theSouthern Star Dust Big Band kept danc-ers on the dance oor throughout thenight.
Personally, I thought there were a
number of highlights of the eveningstarting with the arrival and meeting ofthe Lieutenant Governor and his wifeLinda, said Sobol.
From spending a couple of hours withHis and Her Honorr, I would suggest Al-berta should be very proud to have thesepersons as the Queens representative. They are both very warm, humourousand generous persons who were simplythrilled to share this evening with Strath-more.
Sobol said it was a great night, anddidnt think it could have been accom-plished without the hard work of theCentennial Gala Committee, and thegenerosity of all of the volunteers andsponsors.
The year has been lled with differ-ent events to commemorate Strathmores birthday, from the Family Day celebra-tions, which were the ofcial kick off towrapping up with the Gala.
It is my hope that all of the eventsthat dealt with the Centennial were wellreceived by the citizens of Strathmore,said Sobol.
They were designed to perhaps in-crease our pride in our town, which isclearly one of the best places to live inthe Country. Personally, I am happy, butalso proud, to live in Strathmore. Thereis history here, and a general willingnessto look to the future and continue to im-prove our town.
Gala wraps up a
year of celebrations

Sacred Heart Academy, SHA, recent-ly celebrated its 10th birthday, havingfrst opened its doors in 2001. Manychanges have occured over the years,though a ew sta members and stu-dents have been a part o it since the
beginning.Lots o schools call it their anni-
versary, but because were elementarywe really (wanted) to celebrate it as abirthday party, said Principal PauletteChotowetz.
Thats why we decided to go thatroute, and just really celebrate 10 yearso good lie, and good school. Thisschool was created by very highly en-ergetic parents and grandparents.
Thats who frst approached Christthe Redeemer to open up a Catholicschool in Strathmore. The Town oStrathmore has embraced our schoolincredibly, and were very ortunate tolive in a community where people em-
braced another school system.Chotowetz frst came to the schoolrom Brooks, beginning as a Grade3 teacher. Seven years ago she and acolleague took on a co-principal po-sition, teaching part time and sharingthe position. Her colleague trans-erred to Canmore three years ago, andChotowetz became the sole principalo the school.
Its exciting to see the growth o aschool rom the beginning when thedoors frst opened, said Chotowetz.
I think we had like 110 students toa school now in 10 years where wereover 400 students. Plus its grown intoSacred Heart and then evolved intoHoly Cross on the other side.
The frst year the school was openit was just SHA with students in Kin-dergarten up to Grade 7. As the schoolgrew, pre-school was oered. NowSHA teaches students rom pre-schoolto Grade 6. Holy Cross Collegiate, at-tached to SHA, oers the junior andsenior high grades.
I have no idea where I will be inthe next 10 years. Where I know Sa-cred Heart will be, it will be a very vi-able school with a good school com-munity and good people and hopeully
contributing to the growth o our u-ture citizens, said Chotowetz.
She said creating good citizens is animportant part o the school, and ithey can accomplish that in the next10 years she would be happy.Joanne Clark has also been a part o
the school since the beginning, volun-teering her time or the frst year be-
ore being hired on in the second.I just elt that everybody needed to
have the choice o Catholic education,and it was important, said Clark.
When we moved here the choicewasnt here and our kids had always been in the Catholic school system.When we moved to town it was disap-pointing to me that we didnt have thechoice, and so it was important to methat the choice be created or people.
In the next 10, it would be antas-tic i we could expand even more. Itwould be nice to have Holy Cross Col-legiate, the junior and senior high, itwould be antastic i they could have anew school and be in their own build-
ing.When asked why she has stayed onwith the school she was quick to an-swer that it is because o the kids. Shesaid some o the students really stickout and its rewarding to see the kidscome into the school, and grow up tobecome responsible, active Christians.
Tyler Magwood, now in Grade 10at Holy Cross Collegiate, is one othose students who stand out to bothChotowetz and Clark.
Magwood has many ond memorieso the school and its sta.
All the Grade 6s do a retreat and we go to Camp Chestermere or, Ithink it was overnight, and that was alot o un. Thats probably one o my
ondest memories because we weretransitioning rom elementary to juniorhigh, said Magwood.
Its really nice because the onlything separating the elementary is onedoor, so it wasnt too large o a transi-tion, it was really smooth.
He too has noticed the growth oboth o the schools, and has enjoyedhaving the opportunity to move romone side o the school into the other.Magwood said it has been easier tomaintain riends, and it has given him

Halloween is such great

extra diligence. Whe n you are
setting up your decorations
make sure that all your wires
are tucked away and your

happen on your property.
Never leave a candle

a huge liability issue. If that

suddenly lights on re and you

If you have to drive, make sure all yourheadlights and tail lights are working so you can

The experience there has defnite-ly been rewarding and my educationis going to go somewhere because Iwent to HCC or SHA. The whole thing,knowing and learning all those teach-ers names and getting to know them,its been really, really amazing.

Aspen Crossing owner and train en-thusiast Jason Thornhill is happy tohave added fve new additions to theirrailway collection on Oct. 13.
We managed to save rom the torch,a caboose, and a snowplow and three
boxcars. So that will bring it up to 12railway cars that are done there now,said Thornhill.
Were going to use the one cabooseas a cabin. We have one caboose nowthat you can sleep in and rent as a cabinand so were hoping to have our ca-
boose cabins in total.
CP Rail donated the railway cars to Aspen Crossing. Thornhill said one boxcar will be placed in the camp-ground, and will be made to look likeone o the old boxcars that had adver-tising on it.
The other two boxcars were hopingto use as part o a historic grain displayright behind the Mossleigh elevatorseventually, when the time is right, said
Thornhill.Thornhill said he and the sta call As-
pen Crossing a historic railway destina-
tion, and said everything has a railwaytheme to it. It consists o a campground,a unique git shop, and the 1887 Pull-man Dining Car restaurant, the caboosecabins and o course the garden centre.Aspen Crossing began as a tree nurs-
ery and garden centre and has evolvedinto what it is today. One o the mainattractions is the dinner theatre, whichis held in the Dining Car.
Its so neat because each show isabout train travel so it really eels like
you could actually be part o the action,that its really happening, said Thorn-hill.
Its a lot o un, most days reallyarent even like work. Its so neat to see
the look on peoples aces when theycome.Thornhill said he thinks by the end o
the year Aspen Crossing will have seenabout 50,000 visitors in 2011. This yearthey were also awarded the Alberta Ru-ral Tourism Award, beating out the 250to 300 applicants or the award. Thenew railway cars are on display or thepublic, and at no charge. Aspen Cross-ing is located in Mossleigh and moreinormation can be ound at www.as-pencrossing.com.

Lili shared her experiences with the ladies othe Wheatland Business Women on Oct. 12. Sheexplained that once you had a cause near anddear to your heart, there were simple ways ora business to give back to the local community.
By engaging volunteers and letting them do whatthey know how to do, the business contributioncan grow. It is not always money that charitiesneed. Time, products, expertise, advertising spacecan all be donated.The beneft back to the business is more than
a tax write-o or a eel good opportunity. In to-days world, where customers are deciding whereto spend their money not just on value to thempersonally, but to the causes they care about, itcan be a deciding actor in growing a business.

In April Strathmore High School,SHS, students had a chance to applyto take part in an Outward Bound ad-venture. Brett Wilson and the PrairieMerchant Corporation have createda new $5,000 scholarship or SHS,which allows two students to attendan Outward Bound outdoor adventureevery year.
Students had until April 15 to writea 250-word essay about how and whyan Outward Bound trip would helpthem.
Blake Bishop is one o the two stu-dents who received the frst scholar-ships. Bishop decided to capatilize onan opportunity to travel by picking
the urthest place away that he could.Bishop chose to go to Ecuador orthree weeks, saying he isnt sure hewould ever get another opportunity togo.
We spent 10 days in the Andes(mountain range), and when we werein the Andes we (got to) summit threemountains, said Bishop.The Grade 12 student said he ound
it hard to breathe at some points be-cause o the altitude. The mountains werent the only
place the teen had a chance to explore.I think we spent six days in the
Amazon and when we were in therewe did whitewater rating, (and) somecaving, said Bishop.
We were expecting to see monkeysand a bunch o cool birds and stu,but we only saw a couple o snakesand some really cool insects or sure.
Bishop said the experience o theOutward Bound adventure was lie-changing. He didnt realize it untilcoming home, but said many o hispeers have pointed out he has ma-tured. Bishop has also noticed his so-cial skills improve, which he creditsto having to get to know the 16 otherCanadians that were on the adventure.Though the Amazon and the Andes
may have been amazing in themselves,
they werent Bishops avourite part othe trip.
Probably the Galapagos Islands,said Bishop.
We did lots o snorkeling and wegot to see sea turtles and schools ofsh, like thousands, huge sting rays, just dierent fsh that you wouldntsee here.
Bishop said i he had the chance togo on an Outward Bound trip again hewould defnitely take it but isnt surewhere he would go next.
Life changing experience in Ecuador
There was many, many names that were presented in that contest, saidEll at the council meeting.
It was very difcult or us to comeup with the one that we needed tochoose because there were so manygood names that we could have usedor that book.The book is scheduled to come out
early in 2012, and Bos will be recog-nized in the book or having pickedthe successul name.

helps granttwo wishes
Octobr 21, 2011 Strathor TimeS Page 11
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
The sixth annual Walk for Wishes for the Chil-drens Wish Foundation, CWF, was held this pastSaturday, Oct. 15 at Kinsmen Park. The walk isjust one of the many fundraisers held throughoutthe year in Strathmore.
These events are very important in raising
funds for The Childrens Wish Foundation. With-out funding from the generous support of com-munity businesses and individuals, The ChildrensWish Foundation would not be able to grant thewishes that they do, said Christie Anderson, whoorganized Strathmores Walk for Wishes this year.
Since 1984, the CWF has worked to be able togrant wishes to over 17,000 children with a lifethreatening illness and their families.The average cost of each wish is $10,000, pro-
viding children and their families with somethingto look forward to and often a distraction, if onlyfor a short time, from their illness. Since 2005, theWishmaker Walk for Wishes has raised over $1.3million nationally.The CWF is the single largest wish-granting or-
ganization in Canada. This year they expect togrant over 1,000 wishes, and are proud to havenever refused a wish to an eligible child. It is be-cause of the help of volunteers and donors whomake it possible to grant three wishes a day.
In Strathmore the rst annual movie nightraised $9,225.77, and had 800 people in atten-dance. Between the silent auction, the jellybeandance, local donations, and the Walk for Wishesanother $11,015.52 was raised. The grand totalraised in Strathmore is $20,241.29, which means
People gathered in Kinsen Park early the orning of Oct.
15 to take part in the Childrens Wish Foundations Walk for

Being a motivational speak-
er and helping people forgetabout limitations doesnt seemto be enough for Strathmoreresident Cory Johnson. He alsopractices what he preaches. Heis in the running to be CanadasNext Top Comic, has plans to
write a childrens book, andthis past summer he broke theCanadian 100 metre record.Johnson hit the track in March
running to get into shape andsee where it would take him. At
the end of the summer Johnsonbroke the Canadian record forthe 100-metre sprint for people
with his kind of Cerebral Palsy,
something even he was amazedby.
Because Im now a Canadianrecord holder I am now consid-ered a national athlete, said
Johnson.The government is going
start helping me out eventually,nancially and be able to coversome of the expenses, but that
wont be another year or so.In North America Johnson
is in sixth place for track and
eld, and said in the world heis ranked 30th. His goal now isto compete in the 2012 Para-lympics in London. To qualify
Johnson has to get less than14.7 seconds, and his record
breaking run was 15.73. Whenhe set the record he didnt doany strength training or exibil-ity training, something he plansto focus on over the next fewmonths before heading to Na-tionals in June.
I want to win gold medalsfor Canada, whether its in theParalympics or the Common-
wealth Games, said Johnson.
two children will be able to have their wish grant-ed.
A wish can breed hope and strength; it canfoster laughter and memories that will last a life-time, said Anderson.
The wish granted has a far-reaching ripple ef-fect. For each child whos wish is granted, there isa vast network of parents, friends, siblings, class-mates and caregivers who are affected. To givethese children hope, something to look forwardto and a way to distract them from their illness isinvaluable. The wishes allow the whole family tohave lasting happy memories.
None of these totals would be possible with-out the hard work and hours spent by our com-mittee members and volunteers. The community
support has been fantastic as with every year.Special thanks to The Strathmore Lions Club forputting on our pancake breakfast for the walkas well as hosting the concession for the MovieNight, said Anderson.
She continued on to thank the Ag Society,ReMax, Huxted, Chinook Credit Union and thecountless businesses and individuals that donatedmoney or items to support this wonderful cause.

Every time Wilson Sproule, RylanMuenchrath, Alex Bechtold, Devon Westby and Markson Bechtold hitthe ice this season, they share a com-mon bond.
They are the select ew players romthe Strathmore, Langdon & Wheat-land County area who are currentlyplaying triple-A midget hockey.All fve o them are thrilled to be
donning the silks o the Bisons orthe 2011-2012 season.
Its a really cool eeling gettingthe chance to play triple-A midget to put on that jersey is pretty spe-cial, said Langdon native Westby, who played his minor hockey orthe Wheatland Athletic Association.Its interesting being rom Langdonbecause not too many people romthere get the chance to do it. Beingone o two to do it is pretty (nice).
Goaltender Sproule, who grew upin the Hussar area and now calls Ly-alta home, is thrilled to be the lastline o deence or the Bisons.
Ive always wanted to be on theteam and I was so happy to makeit, said Sproule. My cousin playedhere beore, so it was really good to
fnally make the team as a 17-year-old. I remember watching them as akid and (envisioning) my sel in netthere. Another o the players who
dreamed o lining up or the Bisonswas Muenchrath, who made the teamin his fnal year o midget.
It was pretty awesome to fnallyput on that jersey and play triple-Amidget hockey in your hometown,he said. Used to be one o thosekids (in the stands) or sure someo my amily and a lot o good riendshave played on this team so I grewup watching them since I was reallyyoung. Feels really nice to play.
This year, the Bisons have a pairo local brothers who have made thesquad: Alex and Markson Bechtoldare playing on the same team or thefrst time since atom hockey.
Its a great thrill, said Mark-son, who played triple-A bantam inOkotoks last year. We havent played
much hockey together, so Im excitedabout that. So are my parents.
Im looking orward to that expe-rience and playing in the Macs Midg-et Hockey Tournament.
Brother Alex shares the same sedi-ment.
It eels really good (to make theteam), especially playing my last yearo midget with my brother its quitesomething. We played together backin atom, so its been a long time. Itsgreat just going to the rink here inStrathmore and playing together.
(We) grew up watching these guysand to get a chance to play with themnow is a great privilege. It should be
a great year.While the brothers havent played
on the same team in years, the our-some o Westby, Sproule, Muench-rath and Alex played on the Wheat-land Chies Championship team romlast year. According to head coach Jeremy
Friesen, that experience o winninga double-A midget championship isinvaluable.
It helped their progression ashockey players and its a huge advan-tage to have them on the team, saidFriesen. Theyve battled through they know how much time and e-ort it took to win the championship.It doesnt come easy.
You can have the most skilledteam in the world, but i you dontwork or it, thats not going to come.
Their maturity and their experi-ence going through that whole pro-cess is defnitely going to help (us asa team).

Students rom Strathmore Highschool will be returning to Kenyathis summer, and or the frst timeever, will be heading to New York inspring, 2012. The Kenya trip is sched-uled to depart July 2 and return July17, and the New York trip is to takeplace April 9-14, 2012. The Kenya tripwill be volunteer-based whereas theNew York trip will be more directedtowards the arts. Two summers ago, the students
who attended the Kenya trip startedto build the oundations o a schoolkitchen, and this years group will be going back to try and fnish theproject. The importance o buildinga school kitchen is to encourage kids
to come to school and be guaranteedthat they will be getting at least onemeal or that day.
Free the Children has been work-ing on drought relie in Kenya becausewhat has ended up happening is thatthe drought is so severe that a lot othe school ood programs in placeslike Kenya have been shut down, soorganizations like Free the Childrenhave tried to step in to provide someadditional aid, said Christine Magill,SHS teacher and trip organizer.
Going urther to help with droughtrelie, the Me to We club at SHS, a char-itable group that is not directly linkedto the Kenya trip but was ounded bystudents who previously attended the
trip in 2010, will be selling handcrat-ed necklaces made in Kenya to helpraise unds towards the cause. In as-sociation with Free the Children, thenecklaces are sent rom Kenya to theorganization, which sends them on tothe school. The Me to We club hopesto sell the necklaces at the school andthroughout the community.
Students attending the Kenya tripwill be participating in activities with-in the community including workingand playing with the children, a saari,visiting the markets and ully experi-encing the Masai culture.
We met with a local amily and ac-tually hauled water or them rom the
river, we met with the local Mama andtalked about dierent developmentissues and alternate income, and somost likely this trip will be very, verysimilar in terms o the last trip, saidMagill.The completely dierent New York
trip has several highlights studentscan look orward to. Tours throughoutthe Big Apple itsel can be expected,as well as the CBS Morning Show,NBC studios, MOMA, and midtown.The students will be visiting very a-mous special attractions including theEmpire State Building and Observa-tory, Lincoln Centre, Drama Work-shop, Best o Broadway Schoolroom,2 Broadway shows, Radio City Music
Hall, Statue o Liberty and Ellis Island,and the Metropolitan Museum o Art.
Prices are $5663 or the Kenya tripand $2403 or the New York trip. Bothcosts include airare, medical insur-ance, transportation, in country ex-penses and all meals on the Kenya tripand all breakasts and suppers on theNew York trip. For more inormationabout the Kenya trip, contact ChristineMagill at [email protected] Tricia Bezzeg at [email protected].

last Wednesday night. This event celebrates community diversity, acceptance and valued citizenship
through the arts. This event focuses on the diversity in our community and shows that everyone hasa gift to share through art. Strathmore Hope Bridges received the PDD community citizenship award
for Calgary and area, and are super excited about a grant they received that will let them further inves-
tigate the possibility of building a multi purpose/accessible Art Centre in Strathmore.

After starting the season 3-0, the Wheatland Chiefs hit a roadblockin their fourth game of the season.The local double-A midget team
was defeated 7-2 by the CalgaryCBHA Blackhawks on Oct. 12, in
what head coach Devin Olsoncalled disastrous.
We were just horrible wecouldnt do anything right, said Ol-son. It was just a real off-night foreverybody. You have to put thoseones past you because that is goingto happen to you once in a while.While the rst defeat of the sea-
son stung, the Chiefs reboundedwith a solid performance for theirlone weekend game versus the
Airdrie Lightning on Oct. 14 at theStrathmore Family Centre.
However, despite peppering theLightning with 49 shots and allow-ing only 21, the Chiefs suffered a

Three Strathmore High School teens had a chanceto compete in cross-country provincials in Elkwa-ter this past weekend. Keegan Lane and Lucas Fisk
both ran in the ve-kilometre Intermediate boysdivision.
Keegan ran an exceptional time of just above 21minutes, nishing 45, a very high nish for us atthat level, there are 144 runners per category. Lucasran 22:22 and nished at 58. Gives you a sense ofhow many spots you can jump in just a minute,said coach Paul Stonsteby. Juan David Velsquez ran in the senior boys six-
kilometre race and came in with a good time of justover 28 minutes, said Stonsteby. This was the lastcross country event of the year, with track and eldcoming up in the spring.
Track is in the spring, but I am going to start aspring training for cross country, and get the kidson programs over the summer, said Stonsteby.
Im going to try to coordinate this with KevinMertz, the coach at the junior high. Mr. Mertz hasalso discussed a triathlon club leading up to theStrathmore Triathlon in June, so were hoping tomake this more than a two-and-a-half month affair.
Stonsteby said overall the team was small this year with only eight members, but said it was astrong group.
Including Lane, Fisk, and Velsquez who went toprovincials, other team members included Captain
Alecia DeMott, Intermediate girls, Marc Kuntz, Ju-nior boys, Brooklyn Davidson, Senior girls, MerrickFanning, Intermediate boys and Avery Johnson, Ju-
nior girls.Earlier in the season, a meet at StrathconaTweedsmuir, Lane placed second and Fisk third intheir category, and they, as well as Velsquez, placed
well inside the top 18 of their category. DeMott wasjust outside at 23rd.
This was the smallest team Ive ever coached,but easily the most dedicated and most fun. Theyare great runners, said Stonsteby.
It marks the fth straight year that Ive coachedour school has sent runners to provincials, whichI think is pretty impressive considering the terrainsome of the other kids are able to train on. Werun stairs and Dinosaur Hill for (a desire) of val-leys and mountains. Councilor Fule has joked thathell looked into getting me a decent set of runninghills.

The Kings defeated the ThreeHills Thrashers 6-5 on the road onOct. 14, before narrowly losing 3-2the following night at the Strath-more Family Centre.
Despite dropping to 3-5 on theseason, the Kings are optimisticthey can be competitive with anyteam in the league.
It is denitely coming together,said Murphy. The pieces are allstarting to fall into place. We havea good level of (competition) there is some youth on the team,guys are starting to nd chemistry
