It’s official. The names are in and now the schmoozing begins. The upcoming October 18 election has been on the tip of everyone’s tongue for weeks already, and there has been a lot of speculation about who is, and isn’t, running in this election. Strathmore without a doubt has the most candidates running this year.

For mayoral candidates, George Lat-tery is hoping to serve another term on council. Councillor Brad Walls added his name to the list, along with Kevin Bald-win, Steve Grajczyk, Michael Ell, and Glenn Freeland. Some councillors de-cided to put their names in to run once again: Earl Best, John Rempel, Lois We-gener, and Bob Sobol.

There are also many new names hop-ing to get their shot at fixing some of the problems they see around Strathmore.

For council there are: Terry Peterson, Bill Cooper, Rocky Blokland, Colina Clark, David Hamilton, John M Whiel-don, Pat Fule, Kevin Keegan, and Cheryl Payne.

With so many candidates in the run-ning it will definitely be an interesting election to follow.

The Wheatland County offices don’t have quite as many candidates as Strath-more, and many are running uncon-tested to keep their current position in council. One councillor won’t have her name on the ballot this year. Shirley Re-inhardt has decided to retire after 18 years of serving as Div. 5’s councillor, and as deputy reeve.

For Div. 1 the candidates are: Alice Booth, Guy Christie, and Suzanne Jack-son.

Div. 2: Ken Sauve, Jessica Bissonnette and Jacki Kirk.

Don VanderVelde (Div. 3), Bernice Bland (Div. 4), Glenn Koester (Div. 6) and Ben Armstrong (Div. 7) are the incumbents. In Div. 5, currently Rein-hardt’s division, Dennis Bigras, Scott Klassen and Brenda Knight are compet-ing to replace Reinhardt.

There are many clubs and organizations in and around Strathmore, but one club the Town is missing is the Kiwan-is Club. One man is work-ing to fix that by bringing the club to Strathmore. Cory Johnson has been a Kiwan-is member since 1992 and in 2002 he became a board member.

“I worked my way up the ladder from volunteer, to in-tern, to a counselor, to re-source staff and then after I left the camp they asked me if I wanted to join the Kiwan-is club and I automatically wanted to join because it was a chance for me to give back, because I received so much from them,” said Johnson.

Kiwanis is an international organization and their mis-sion is to help make a dif-ference in the community one child at a time. There are over 600,000 members world-wide. Johnson became the president of the downtown Calgary Kiwanis Club. Then

he became the Lieutenant Governor, and after that was elected the Governor Elect for Western Canada.

“So here I am, (the) Gov-ernor Elect (and) there is no Kiwanis Club here. I was like ‘well, that doesn’t look good,’ a governor should have a club in his hometown,” said Johnson.

One day Sandi, Cory’s wife, came home and told him there were two people inter-ested in joining so they start-ed asking their friends if they would like to be a part of the group by helping under-privileged kids and make a difference in the community. Almost everyone they asked said yes.

“We’re looking to see if people could donate a space, could donate money or even their time and want to join and become a member. So any resources that would help us out,” said Cory.

The first meeting was held on September 16. The goal is to start with 10 members and then work their way up. In order for them to be able to

charter a club they must have a minimum of 25 members.

“It doesn’t have recognition from Kiwanis International at this point. We haven’t done all of the important things you’ve got to do to get it up and running,” said Cory. Members are already looking at what they can do to help out.

“Some of the projects that we’re thinking about doing is helping out with the Christ-mas hamper program, (or) doing a day where we se-lect kids that are underprivi-leged and have them come to Walmart and give them a gift certificate where they can go shopping by themselves, (or) with a parent, and they can buy whatever they want,” said Cory.

They are also thinking about starting a reading pro-gram, buying used bikes to fix up and give to the kids in need. They are even thinking of doing a rib fest kind of con-test. Already the group has about a dozen ideas of what they want to do, but for now they are starting out small.

Cory is hoping the group will reach Club status by the end of October. He is also hoping to eliminate a stereotype that many people have when it comes to service clubs.

“A lot of members are older in service clubs and I want to eliminate that stereo type because everybody has some-thing to offer and I feel we all need the ability to give back,” said Cory.

“I think my philosophy is that everybody should come and if you have kids bring them because that’s what we’re all about, is kids.” The next meeting will be tak-ing place on October 14 at 6 p.m. A meeting place has not been designated yet. Cory said part of joining Kiwanis is the whole getting people together to network and so-cialize. The commitment per member could be any thing from an hour a month to 50 hours a month. To find out more about the club or to join email [email protected], call 403-829-5844 or check out Cory’s website at coryjohnson.ca.

How do your finances stack up?

Do you know whether your financial life is a success?

One way to find out is to measure your net worth. This is the value of everything you own, minus everything you owe. In other words, assets minus liabilities.

Net worth provides a snapshot of your finances. If you’re in good shape, you should own considerably more than you owe, resulting in substantial net worth. If your net worth is low, or even a negative number, you have some serious work ahead.

Your first step is to add the value of your assets. These include your investments, house, cottage, car, collectibles, the cash portion of life insurance and pensions, and anything else of lasting worth.

Then total your debts. Include consumer and investment loans, credit card balances, lines of credit, income tax owing and any other liabilities.

Finally, subtract liabilities from assets. Your snapshot is now complete.

It’s a good idea to discuss your findings with your financial advisor. With professional help you can put the figure in context and use it as a tool for planning your financial future.

Answers to all questions will appear on the website on the Funeral FAQ Page.

Q: Should children go to a funeral?Every child is different. Children will grieve a death but it is often misinterpreted as being ‘cranky’ or ‘moody’. The best way to deal with children surrounding a death is to be very open and honest with them. Even if they don’t fully understand the implications of death, it is best to explain it to them. Terms like ‘gone away’ or ‘went to sleep’ can create a misunderstanding, and even fear, of going away or to sleep because they may not come back, like the deceased did. Often people try to shield their children from death but it is often much more important for them to experience the same things as adults so that they can be involved with the family, rather than excluded from such an important event. There is nothing that occurs at a funeral that would be inappropriate for children to experience. For more information on this topic, please visit our website.

Standard School held another suc-cessful Terry Fox Run on Friday Sep-tember 17 in town. The entire student body, along with Karen Smith their principal, and their teachers walked or ran the course through town a num-ber of times. It was nice to see some of the high school students pairing themselves up with the younger ones to encourage them on the run. This year is the 30th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s run across Canada to raise money for the fight against Cancer. Thank you so much to any of you who sponsored the kids and made pledges for this cause. Thank you once again to the Stan-dard Lionettes who provided the crowd of walkers with donuts from Rocky’s bakery and juice boxes. The kids always look forward to the treat at the end of the course.

Wheatland Business Women are hosting a night of Wine, Women and Wisdom on Sep-tember 29. The event will take place at the Civic Centre at 6:30 p.m. and everyone is wel-come. Tickets are $25.

Michelle Cederberg is the guest coming in to make the presentation. Cederberg is the author of Got to it!, and is Can-ada’s newest certified speak-ing professional. She will be coming in to speak about her accountability journal. Ced-erberg was recommended to come speak and hopefully in-spire people.

“We heard she has a great message and a great sense of humour to deliver that mes-sage,” said Marcy Field, a member of Wheatland Busi-ness Women. The message Ce-derberg plans to deliver is The Energy to Succeed in Business & In Life, Helping people with full schedules and a long list of responsibilities maximize their personal energy.

“If there is one common challenge most of my clients, participants and audiences struggle with it is without a doubt the belief that there just aren’t enough hours in the day. ‘Too much to do and not enough time to do it.’ We’re busier than ever; working more to ensure job security, simultaneously raising kids or caring for aging parents, jug-gling career, family, friends,

and self in a never-ending chase for a bit of free time,” said Cederberg.

“75% of Canadians don’t be-lieve that work-life balance is possible. We’re working more than ever, spending less time with our friends and family, and inevitably watching our health and happiness drift away.”

Many people want to exer-cise, eat right, build the busi-ness, write, partake in leisure activities, socialize with family and friends, try new hobbies, travel, even sleep, said Ceder-berg.

“But no matter how badly you want it, your schedule doesn’t seem to have room for it, so you’re tired, busy life stays busy and tiring.”

Cederberg teaches about how to balance life through small “energizing” steps. The first goal, she said, is to gain energy through self-care. It doesn’t need to be giant leaps to be a success, but instead it can be done by taking small steps every day.

“Let’s face it, you likely don’t have a lot of free time right now anyway and if you do you probably don’t have the energy or motivation to ‘go big’ out of the gates, so the decision should be easy,” said Cederberg.

According to Cederberg, if people embrace even small changes in important aspects of their health and scheduling, they will notice significant im-provements in energy.

Tickets are available at busi-nesswomen.ca or call 403-901-4457

Finding Work-life Balance When Time and Energy Are Low 2Time Management Tips By Michelle Cederberg

It’s true that if you have more personal energy you’ll get more done, but even the most energetic individual can shift off balance without prop-er time and schedule manage-ment. Below are 4 scheduling strategies that will do just that. 1) Overhaul your priorities

Of all the tasks you have to conquer in a typical week, how many of them can be re-scheduled or eliminated? Re-prioritizing is particularly important in a time-cramped schedule. Maybe your volun-teer efforts need to be scaled back for the moment? It’s pos-sible the car, dog and curtains don’t need to be washed this week. Look at your home and work-based commitments and diligently eliminate or re-schedule at least one low pri-ority task in each area.2) Schedule ‘white space’

We all need time during the day to absorb the unforeseen. If your schedule is jammed from morning to evening, stress will increase when un-expected meetings or emer-gencies pop up. Schedule up to 60% of your day and leave 40% for task management and unexpected events. In an 8 hour work day that means

almost 5 hours can be sched-uled, leaving just over 3 hours of flexible ‘white space’.3) Make a ‘two’ do list

The next time you put a task on your ‘to do’ list make a 2nd entry in your schedule – your ‘two’ do entry – for when you will complete it. When I agreed to do this article I opened my day-timer immedi-ately and blocked out the time I knew it would take me to write it. That way I could be sure I wouldn’t over-schedule and I’d have time set aside to complete the work before the deadline. 4) Be wise and revise

No matter how organized you get, allow yourself the option in work, as in life, to revise. I open my schedule at the start of each week and review the week ahead. De-pending on my energy and stress levels at that moment, I will give myself permission to revise my upcoming sched-ule to allow for steps 1 and 2 above to come into play once again.

What would it take to im-plement even a few of the life-balance steps above? Why not begin today? If you em-brace even small changes in important aspects of your health and scheduling, you’ll realize significant improve-ments in energy and output sooner than you think. Chart your progress as you go, and celebrate your success … one step at a time, because that’s all it takes.

Balancing a hectic lifestyle

Standard gets a running start to the new school year

Despite some crummy weather, the Town of Strathmore hosted the annual Terry Fox Run Sept. 19. A total of 58 par-ticipants and volunteers raised $5,915 “Not too bad for a very rainy day,” said Terry Fox Run organizer Margo Sevcik. “It tells you how dedicated Terry Fox’ers are - we’ll come out in any weather. Just as Terry ran in all kinds of weather.”

No rain, no gain

Terry Fox Run

Times TIDBITSWhy do leaves change color in the fall?

Plants make food, using sunlight and something called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives leaves their green color.

When autumn arrives, the days are short and dry, so many plants stop making food. The chlorophyll goes away, that’s

when we see the orange and yellow colors. These colors were in the leaves all summer, but the green covered them up.



The vote is in. Strathmore once again won four blooms for Communities in Bloom, CIB. The provincial awards ban-quet took place in Provost, AB, on Sep-tember 18. This is only the fourth year the town has been given blooms, and though the top award is five blooms, get-ting four, two years in a row isn’t bad.

“The highest marks we got were for community involvement, and we got 101.5 out of 125, so that’s pretty good,” said Robert Breitwieser, a member of Strathmore Communities in Bloom.

“They try to give us points for the things we’re doing well but also give us suggestions for the things we need to im-prove on. Those are areas our commit-tee will be looking at and making rec-ommendations for future initiatives, both with town council and town administra-tion and also our committee and busi-ness in the community.”

Some of the areas which were suggest-ed the town work on are around com-mercial and industrial areas. There are a lot of weeds, benches in poor condi-tion, and just a general bit of untidiness. It was mentioned, however, that the com-mercial and industrial sectors have been good supporters of CIB, and Breitwieser said they have also been strong financial supporters.

The board said the citizens of Strath-more are doing an outstanding job con-serving water, energy and products, and the “incredible recycling centre” was also mentioned.

Another bit of a sore point is the high-way leading into Strathmore.

“They did mention that the highway coming into town is bare and uninterest-ing and there’s poor signage, and some-thing needs to be done to promote our town along the highway,” said Breitwi-eser.

The lack of signage and promotion of the town along the highway has been mentioned in the past and is not a new subject to many people looking to help the town grow.

Gray Park was said to be like an oasis on the prairies, but better weed control should be put into place.

The heritage banners were noticed, and said to be a good start but that a little more should be done.

“They suggested that the town needs to take initiative to form a heritage commit-tee to declare heritage buildings in the town for preservation,” said Breitwieser.

While it sounds like the committee had a lot of suggestions to work on, people must remember that four blooms is quite a good score to get. Comments were made about the impressive yards, and the different groups and organizations that have been extremely supportive of CIB. Strathmore was cited especially for environmental awareness, and with the suggestions from the CIB board, next year five blooms are not out of reach.

Town still blooming

AltaLink hosted their last open house at the In-dus recreational centre on Sept. 8, regarding the proposed route of the transmission lines. There have been 11 open houses in total and seventy four stakeholders came to Indus to see what new op-tions were being presented. AltaLink has a lengthy process they go through before filing an application with Alberta Utilities Commission, AUC.

“For anyone who is on or close to a route that we’re considering, we will go out and do a one-on-one consultation with them at their home or busi-ness and try to make that as convenient for them as we can,” said Leigh Clarke, Senior Vice President, External Engagement.

AltaLink began looking at routes for a new trans-mission line when ISO, Independent System Oper-ator, planned the system and then said what they want to be implemented. Since then it has been up to AltaLink to find the best option for the line that also has the lowest impact to residents of affected areas.

They have looked through a variety of different options, and have scrapped many options, as they consult with stakeholders.

“We only really construct in the winter when the ground is frozen, to try to minimize the disrup-tion,” said Clarke. AltaLink will also return the land around the tower, which will be approximately 9 x

12 metres wide, back to the way it was before con-struction began.

“We pay fair market value for that land as though we were buying it outright, we don’t actually buy it, we just take the easement, which gives us the right to put the power line there, but we compen-sate as though we are buying that land outright,” said Clarke.

The reason a new transmission line is needed is because the current lines are an AC system and when more power is needed a new line must go up. A DC system can basically be switched to increase the power running through the lines.

“We’re trying to be very open and forthright about how we do what we do. There’s no magic in it, we’ve got criteria we have to apply and our job is to find that route with the lowest impacts on an overall basis,” said Clarke.

“What I hope is we’ve been transparent enough and listened well enough that people, while they may not agree with the decision we’ve made or they may think we made a mistake somewhere, I expect that. What I’m hoping is by being transparent they will understand the process and feel that they had their say.”

Currently AltaLink is holding information sessions. These sessions run longer than the open houses, and they are like a scaled down version of the open house. The plan is to file a permit at the end of this year after which a hearing will be held to make sure that AltaLink has done their job properly.

AltaLink hosts final open house in IndusStrathmore High School held their welcome back BBQ for the students on the 17. Hundreds of students lined up to grab some food before find-ing a comfy place to sit and enjoy their free lunch.

Mobile grooming is a great alternative for older pets, pets with health conditions that get stressed easily, or do not handle vehicle transportation well. It is also a good alternative for owners who have a hard time getting around. Mobile grooming is where my assistant and I come to your home and groom your dog or cat. It is great that they are in the comfort of their own home. We bring our table and supplies and set up where you direct us.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the EditorThe race is on. Change for Strathmore members

would like to thank those residents who have put their names forward to run for the next town council. If any candidates would like to learn more about our group or potentially receive an endorsement (and campaign assistance) from us, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. The Change for Strathmore group is now meeting weekly and will be ramping up our activities now that the election period is under way.

While we share the voters excitement that new can-didates have come forward, we cannot share that senti-ment for the incumbents who are running again. Based on the high degree of concerns our group shares from the countless examples we have found (and are still finding) with per diem and expense reports from the past three years, we are a little shocked to learn most incumbents expect to be re-elected in this election. In a past issue of one of the local papers, our group asked for members of council to do the honourable thing and offer their resignations. Not only has no one accepted this advice, no member of council has offered an apol-

ogy. Worst yet, no member of council has offered to return taxpayer dollars they should not have claimed in the first place.

Voters, at all levels of government, are accustomed to seeing examples of wastage of tax payers’ dollars, however, we would suggest wastage that occurs at the hands of payments to politicians is the worst kind of spending of hard-earned taxpayers income.

The goals of our group will be two fold in the com-ing weeks:

1) assist candidates in running, 2) inform voters with specific examples of wasted

tax payer dollars that have occurred in the past three years.

We believe it is important for voters to have all the information necessary to make an informed decision on election day. Since incumbent councillors have refused to address the problem head on, we have no choice but to let the public know what we have found.

To the EditorI am Dave Hamilton and I am running for Municipal

Council for the Town of Strathmore. I have lived and worked in Strathmore since 1982 with the RCMP as well as for the Town of Strathmore as a Peace Officer. During that time I have seen much growth in the town as well as the surrounding area. I have watched and worked with various Town councils over those years and now feel it is time for me to ask for your support in continuing that growth and development in a progres-sive manner. The following are some of the areas that need to be addressed in an open and honest manner.

• The proposed ring road that will circumvent the town. This will adversely affect both the business com-munity as well as the town as a whole. There has to be a better alternative.

• The town needs an Economic Development Officer to attract light and/or heavy industry to town. The spin offs from any industry that would locate in Strathmore would obviously benefit the residents, such as creation of jobs, as well as taxes paid by these new businesses.

• More openness and accountability between the citizens and the town council.

• Research the viability for a full time Fire Depart-ment due the future town expansion.

• Seniors and affordable housing• Address infrastructure within the town ie: roads,

etc.• Policing, both RCMP and our local Peace Officers

and bylaw personnel to maintain the quality level of enforcement provided

The above points are the ones that I feel need to be immediately addressed. I realize there are many other concerns that our citizens will identify during the course of the current campaign and I welcome all those who are willing to suggest these by contacting me at my email address of [email protected]. I thank you for your time and would ask if you for your vote in the upcoming municipal election on October 18, 2010.

Dave [email protected]

Working for Strathmore

To the EditorI read with interest a letter to the editor by Councillor

Bob Sobol on September 16th in your paper. Mr Sobol said (and I quote), “transparency has been a priority for this council.” Apparently he will defend that statement in this election - we look forward to that.

Mr Sobol also commented that Change for Strath-more “appears to be interested in getting their own per-sonal council elected.” This is not at all the case, this group simply hopes to see candidates who will commit to stand up for certain ideals that most taxpayers are concerned about. If these qualities are not present in the current council, what choice to taxpayers have but to seek out new candidates.

Mr Sobol contends “certainly, I would hope that any successful candidate in the upcoming election will fo-cus his efforts on all of Strathmore, and not just the desires of a self-interest group.” This is interesting. Is Mr Sobol indicating that any candidates that Change for Strathmore supports will somehow be puppets of the group? Is he taking an initial shot at any candidates we support as not being trustworthy and too narrow minded to serve all residents?

The Change for Strathmore group has repeated sev-eral times publicly the important issues we hope to articulate and support candidates who at least agree with those items. In no way has this group restricted its priorities to only those things but has provided these items as a guide to help members of the group deter-mine who the best choices are.

Mr Sobol labels us as a self-interest group. I guess we are then if we support what we have already publicly declared as priorities. They include:

1) An owner of a successful business (if possible) or experience leading a service club or other recognized group.

2) Candidates willing to be transparent and account-able in every way including voting records, per diem and expense claims.

3) Support the hiring of an Economic Development Officer for the town.

4) Possess a clear vision for the economic success of Strathmore.

5) Publicly oppose the rerouting of Highway 1 around Strathmore.

6) Be fully aware of the time you will need to dedi-cate to be an effective member of council.

7) Be committed to revising the current policy on per diem and expense payments to ensure current spend-ing problems do not occur again.

One would have thought Mr Sobol would be able to support some of these core values but he has instead decided to label them as “special interest.” I’m betting most tax - paying residents will agree these priorities are much more than core values articulated by a so-called special interest group and will resonate with a majority of voters. The fact that a sitting councillor de-fines them as such speaks for itself.

CLAUDETTE LACOMBE WID

The Western Irrigation District (WID) Main Canal rebuild will create one of those magnets for curious people in a publicly ac-cessible location this winter and the WID wants Strathmore par-ents in particular to be aware of the site.

When the construction starts in October, earth-moving equip-ment, trucks, piles of rock and holes in the dirt may be a pow-erful enticement to some young people.

“Safety is the number one pri-ority on the site,” assures Erwin Braun WID Operations Manager. He adds that “Operators can’t see everywhere, all the time.”

Braun likened the site to a road construction site, but the differ-ence is that there is a grassy area along Thomas Drive that the pub-lic uses often. Although it will still be safe to walk along Thom-as Drive, WID hopes parents will educate children not to get too close to the action.

“We don’t want people to be-come tourists in a construction zone or kids to think it’s a play-ground,” he says. He explains that every year the WID performs this type of construction, but gener-ally it is out in the countryside on private lands. This is the first

project within an urban area in a long time.

“We have an excellent safety record for our crews and contrac-tors, so we want to ensure the public understands to be careful too,” Braun emphasizes.

He adds that the crews hold daily safety meetings and review any hazards on site. There are power lines and gas lines they need to avoid and mark for safe-ty. Also any trenches where peo-ple work get inspected to ensure no earth has caved or is loose.

The contracted construction company may have off-hours se-curity for its equipment, but that doesn’t guarantee curious people won’t get too close. The WID asks that the public resist explor-ing the site for safety reasons.

The WID met with the local RCMP and Strathmore By-Law Officers and requested they keep an eye on the site to help with public safety.

Of course, residents should

also expect typical construction activity during the project. The construction begins in earnest in October. Crews will work during the hours allowed by the Town of Strathmore Noise By-Law that includes 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. on weekends.

On the up-side, the construc-tion will happen quickly with crews working daylight hours during any weather and on long rotations such as 10-days work-ing and two days off. The main construction should be complete in 8-12 weeks and all quiet by Christmas.

“The project must be complete by next water season that starts May 1, 2011,” Braun explains. “The contractor will work as quickly and as diligently as it can to make that happen.”

Visit www.wid.net Strathmore Canal Rebuild Project for updates and information throughout the project.

Explore that curiosity carefully

Because of debate over the per diems a few weeks ago in coun-cil, many people were expecting to see things heat up again in this last council meeting. People were taken aback, and possibly disap-pointed when Mayor George Lat-tery made a motion to delete the item from the agenda, without so much as a discussion. The motion was passed, and while it may seem unfair, it was within his right to strike it from the agenda.

INCREASING BUSINESS LICENSES

Previously the business license bylaw saw residential business pay-ing $75, and non residential were paying $150. In the last council meeting it was recommended that residential prices increase by $50, to $125 and that non-residential increase by $100, to $250. Council unanimously voted to raise resi-dential to $100 and non-residential to $200, after stating the recom-mended increase was too much.

DETOUR EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE BY END OF SEPT.

Western Irrigation District, WID, will be fixing up the canal in Oc-tober. Part of this will be replac-ing the culverts at Parklane Drive. After replacing the culverts, the road and sidewalk will be rebuilt and widened to meet potential future road needs. There will be a detour in effect while the work is being done and people can ex-pect it to last approximately for a month, depending on the weather. Jesse Parker in Engineering & Op-erations said they are anticipating the need for a Brent Blvd. type of standard. The funding for the proj-ect is coming from the 2010 street improvement plan.

Per diems cast aside


NEW OIL SITES All Points Energy Ltd.

and Evolve Surface Strat-egies Inc. made a presen-tation before Wheatland County council regarding proposed well sites for All Points Energy to begin drilling in. They already have licenses for three sites and are hoping to drill five this year. Repre-sentatives from both com-panies were at council to ask for approval for access to one of the sites, so that

drilling may begin right away. Council approved the motion. RURAL ADDRESSES

The rural addressing by-law went through second and third readings on Sept. 21. The bylaw is to provide and implement a rural ad-dress system in the county. In time they will be the addresses everyone will use, discontinuing the cur-rent system. It will take a little while though before the new addressing system will be in effect, and lon-ger yet before people be-gin solely using them.

ANNEXATION The annexation was a

great battle for the town to win, and now there are just a few minor details to fix up. The Oxbow golf course is mainly a part of Wheatland County. How-ever there are two small sections which belong to Strathmore since the an-nexation. Jennifer Deak stated she had sent a letter to the town offices asking for an uncontested annex-ation of that small section of land. The county feels it should all belong to one municipality.

The athletic department at Holy Cross Collegiate, HCC, has been in desperate need of funding for a while now. This fact didn’t pass by Laurie Bratt, who decided to do something about it. Last year she approached the principal to ask what she could do for the program. She was told she would have to create a booster club and organize things through that.

“I started up a booster club for the ath-letic department because funding is low for the athletes. They are in dire need of equipment and mostly uniforms, we’re trying to raise money to help purchase new uniforms for the teams,” said Bratt.

She came up with the idea of hosting a Lobster and Steak fundraising dinner. Originally it was just going to be a lobster dinner, but Bratt knew not everyone likes lobster so she added steak to the menu. For $30, people had an option of steak or lobster plus a variety of side dishes. For $40, however, people were able to have both steak and lobster, and many guests took advantage of the great price. All of the athletes at HCC helped out in one way or another when it came to putting the dinner on, whether it was peeling and cooking potatoes or manning the door.

“It wasn’t something that hasn’t been done around town and it was something I felt was different that would get people to come out,” said Bratt.

On top of the filling food there was a cakewalk, chicken drop for the kids and a bouncy house. There were also hotdogs

sold for the kids who likely wouldn’t eat a full steak or lobster, much less both. Things turned out better than anticipated, with many people in the community do-nating time, money, or food.

“It was a great community spirit effort,” said Bratt. “It was a very successful event for our athletic department.”

Bratt is sure this is only the beginning, and is already planning to make the din-ners the big annual event held for the kids.

First annual a successSHANNON LECLAIRTimes Reporter

Optimum Wellness Centres held their first annual golf tournament on Sept. 11. Approximately 30 golfers hit the greens and there were many vol-unteers helping pull things together.

The tournament raised $2,000, which they have decided to donate to the Kiwanis Club.

“This was a success and Kiwanis is going to get $2,000 out of it,” said Dr. Sean Stordy, who runs Strathmore’s Optimum Wellness Centre with his wife Nicole.

“We had no control over what char-ity was being used or anything and by total fluke they decided to choose the Kiwanis because…one of the chi-ropractors was attached to that cause and so he decided that would be the benefactor of (this, our) first golf tour-

nament and these guys (the Stordy’s) just so happen to be friends with San-di and Cory ( Johnson) who just so happen to be Kiwanis (members) and it just worked out so fantastic,” said Alicia Flint, a staff member at Strath-more’s Optimum Wellness Centre.

The golf tournament is hopefully just the first of many to come and ev-eryone was happy with the end re-sults of their first charity tournament. Because of the $2,000 the tournament raised, four kids will have an opportu-nity to go to Camp Kiwanis. Kids from Strathmore have never had the oppor-tunity and this will be something new for them. The kids are found through social services in town, the schools or through personal knowledge.

“I don’t think there’s ever been a struggle finding the kids, its just a matter of finding the most appropri-ate kids,” said Cory Johnson.

Dr. Sean Stordy, far left, and his wife Dr. Nicole Stordy, left, presented a cheque for $2,000 to Sandi Johnson. Johnson was accepting the cheque on behalf of the downtown Calgary Kiwanis club.

The third annual Sears Na-tional Kids Cancer Ride, SNK-CR, began on September 9 and went until the 23. There were three teams, for a total of 42 riders, going across the coun-try, sort of leapfrogging along the way.

Damian Brown was crew chief for team two and said they started in Calgary the morning of the 11th, and went to Brooks. Another team left Brooks the same day to head to Moose Jaw.

“The three teams rotated all the time on the road,” said Brown. The 14 riders on team two stopped for a good home cooked meal at the Country Farmhouse, just outside of Cluny.

“We look for locations in be-tween where the riders ride, say 50 kilometres to 60 ki-lometres. You have to have a place where you have lunch or dinner and stuff like that. So different organizations have come by to sponsor and have supported us by providing lunch. Dianne has so kindly said that she wanted us here and it’s her way of contribut-ing to the cause,” said Brown. Dianne Brown is the owner of the farmhouse and was happy to have the riders stop by for lunch. The ride is 15 days long from Vancouver to Halifax, ap-proximately 7,200 kilometres. Some riders may not be able to ride for a full day, which is fine; there is a bunk truck for the riders. A crew of profes-sionals, including a registered massage therapist, travels with

the riders to make sure every-one makes it through safely.

Ken Cross is also a crew leader, his first ride with SNK-CR was last year. Two years ago, Cross’s daughter Megan, 6, was diagnosed with cancer.

“She was in remission af-ter 2008 and then 17 months passed and her cancer came back. She needed a bone mar-row transplant,” said Cross.

Her sister Leah was able to provide the bone marrow Me-gan needed. Not everyone par-ticipating in the ride has been personally affected by cancer, but all want to do their part to contribute to finding a cure.

“For a lot of these people they either started riding or they rode before and they thought this would be something they could do to give back,” said Cross. SNKCR partners with Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. Coast to Coast is Canada’s only national char-ity strictly devoted to fighting childhood cancer.

“This is the only founda-tion in Canada that specifical-ly looks at childhood cancer and that’s it. It helps with re-search, it helps with programs and families, and it helps out camps. I will never waiver from this knowing how it’s helped out my family,” said Cross.

There are no administrative fees for the SNKCR ride. 100 per cent of monies raised go directly to kids cancer treat-ment. Each province with a pe-diatric centre dedicated to kids with cancer receives the funds to help cover some of the costs incurred by the patients, and to help the families.

7,200km in 15 days

The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride boasted over 40 riders, riding across the country to raise funds and awareness to kids cancer. They split into three groups and leapfrogged across the country.

Going into their annual preseason tournament, all the UFA Bisons wanted to do was give their organization a chance to evaluate their play-ers.

And after tangling with three division rivals during the Sept. 16-19 home tournament, the local triple-A Midget team let the players decide who does and does not make the 2010-2011 squad.

“We were able to make some decisions,” said Bisons head coach Parry Shockey. “A majority of the decisions have been made by (the players during) their opportunity to play. (The players) know that they’ve had every opportunity to prove themselves.

“It’s funny, when you have to release guys, sometimes they already know – they’ve done the math themselves.”

The Bisons started the tour-nament with a 3-1 loss to the Red Deer Optimist Rebels on Sept. 16, before a tough 3-1 loss to the Calgary Northstars the following day.

On Saturday morning, the Bisons tied the Calgary Buf-faloes 5-5, ranking them in fourth place going into the tournament’s semifinals.

However, the Bisons de-feated the first-ranked North-stars 3-1, earning a trip to the championship game on Sun-day morning. Despite a solid effort, the Bisons lost 4-2 to the Rebels.

“We haven’t worked on powerplay or penalty kill – so everything we’re doing is off of a board,” said Shockey. “We’re at a little bit of a dis-advantage with Red Deer – I know that they’ve been going for a while now and are close to their (final) numbers.

“We have some practice time coming up, so we’re looking forward to that. We’re looking forward to doing some team building, getting ourselves ready for the opening part of the season.”

Despite winning only one game during the weekend – ironically it was the semifinal game, which earned them no worse than a second place fin-ish – the coaching staff was pleased with the way the team

played. “I like when we were in

chance and paid attention to detail – we did a lot of good things,” said Shockey. “I didn’t like when we broke down and reverted back to old habits – that’s just the way it is, that’s human nature.

“At the end of the day, we saw some guys who basically bought right in. Then we saw some guys with raw talent that we can work with.”

The Bisons are now in the process of preparing for their final preseason game Sept. 26 at the Max Bell Arena in Cal-gary versus the Northstars (2 p.m.).

According to Shockey, it is the final game for a handful of players to make an impression before the team makes its final roster cuts.

“We’re dealing with some tremendous young men,” said the coach. “It’s unfortunate – this is a tough time because we have to let some good players go and good people go. It goes with territory.”

“I have to disconnect my (phone) number for a couple of days,” joked Shockey.

Bisons happy with weekend tournament

The UFA Bisons hosted their annual preseason tournament Sept. 16-19 at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Bisons finished the tournament with the runner up trophy, after losing 4-2 to the Red Deer Rebels in the final. The Bisons open the season Oct. 1 in Red Deer.

Jaryd Coccimiglio scored early in overtime to win the game 7-6. Also in the tournament, the Strathmore Peewee team won gold in overtime with a 5-4 score and the Strathmore midget team won bronze. Congratulations to the teams. A big thank you goes out to all the coaches, players and parents for helping to make it a great season.

Summer’s gone and it’s getting that time again. Af-ter a hectic summer we’re putting the finishing touch-es on our arena renovation and are looking forward to getting the ice back in both rinks! With a new concrete floor, new boards, glass and redesigned players bench-es, the early reviews show everyone is as excited as we are for the upcoming season.

To kick things off this year, we’ll be holding our first annual Hockey, Figure Skating and Curling Swap & Shop on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clean out the garage, bring that old gear down, or come and shop for something “new” to you. Donations are welcome. Call the arena for more details (403-734-3059 / email: gleichenrec-

[email protected]). While at the Swap & Shop, take a moment to check out our new look arena and get some information from the various groups and leagues that will be there represent-ing Pond Hockey, CanSkate, Figure Skating and Curling.

Any teams or groups looking for ice time avail-ability, hockey or curling, please call the arena at 403-734-3059 or email at [email protected] to find out rates and avail-ability.

DID YOU KNOW……The original Gleichen “Gunners” name was the result of our hockey teams’ sponsorship by the 22nd Battery, R.C.A., in 1925. In 1928-29, the Gunners won the Morgan Cup, at the time awarded to the Provincial Intermediate Hockey Champions. [From The Gleichen call : a history of Gleichen and surround-ing areas, 1877-1968]

Dr. Fanning recently ac-quired two students on a practicum to help him at the clinic and the office. On Au-gust 31 two young women from Germany arrived in Canada, and plan to spend a month here learning more about how medicine works here.

Julia Maubach and Mi-chaela Baumgartner have been friends for 14 years, and neither one ever expect-ed to study medicine, much less come to Canada for it.

Baumgartner never had an interest in medicine until

one year in high school, dur-ing a sports class she learned about medicine. That was the end of it for her.

“My dad actually is a gen-eral practitioner and I always said, I don’t want to do that. But when I came to the last grade of high school, that changed because of that sports class,” said Baumgart-ner.

Maubach comes from a family of doctors and she swore she would never travel down that path.

“I always said I’m not going to do medicine no way, and then in year 11, I thought oh maybe I should think about it again,” said Maubach.

Her father is an oncologist and hematologist and she is considering going into that area of medicine, though she is still unsure at this point. Though one thing she is sure of is she does not want to be a surgeon. Both women have been to Canada in the past, and for Baumgartner it’s a yearly trip. In 2002 Mau-bach was in Calgary taking a class to improve her English and Baumgartner was here visiting her grandfather.

“They were here, and they came from Drumheller to Calgary and picked me up and I spent a day at the farm with them. Afterwards we always said when we finish

school we’re going to Cana-da again, do a trip together,” said Maubach. Five years af-ter finishing school they still hadn’t made it back.

“We both ended up in Med school so we said when we go to Canada, we can do something here,” said Mau-bach. The women do not go to the same medical schools, Maubach is north in Luebeck and Baumgartner goes to school in the south in Mu-nich.

“In Germany we’re sup-posed to do all in all four months of practicum. And we also can do that in other countries, like Canada for ex-ample.

Comparing the differences

Julia Maubach, left, and Michaela Baumgartner came to Strathmore to learn how our medical system works compared to Germany. Both women are here on a practicum for the month of September.



CURTIS, Richard PaulJuly 15, 1940 – Sept. 9, 2010

children Janine and Paul, all of Peace River; Fred, of Lacombe; daughter Mae (Lester) Fehr of Peace River; and sons Paul and John of Ontario. He was guardian of three grandchildren Mellissa, John, and Jamie, all of Arrowwood. Richard was a kind, selfless man who was there for anyone who needed him. He loved life, his Lord, and his pets. A memorial service was held on Wednesday, September 15 at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, at Garden Road and Highway #1. To send condolences, please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.
