Times Reporter

On June 15, Strathmore RCMP are invit-ing the community to come out and getto know them, and their jobs, a little bet-ter. For the frst time since Sta Sgt. KevinReilly has been in Strathmore, the detach-ment will be holding an open house at thestation.

“It’s geared towards members o thecommunity, both the town and the rural, but we’re hoping to have a large amounto kids and amilies come. That’s why it’son a Saturday, to try and get that involve-ment and see and meet us in a dierentlight than you normally deal with us,” saidReilly.

“It’s something I have been thinking o trying to do or the last ew years. I think

it’s a good community event, it allowspeople to get involved and meet some o the police ofcers outside o the workingenvironment, which doesn’t always createthe best relationships, and it involves com-munity and amilies which is what it’s allabout.” The day will start out at 11 a.m. The tour

will begin at the detachment with a shortthree to fve minute video o lie in theRCMP, ollowed by a tour o the ofce.

“We’ll have that in the training room sopeople can kind o see what happens intraining and through your career. Thenthey’ll get the tour o the whole ofce.Probably the highlight or most o them isgoing to be the cell block area, where we’llshow them cells and all that,” said Reilly.

The open house will include a number o outdoor things that will keep amiliesentertained all day as well.

“We have the dog section coming out and we’re hoping to get them to do some dem-onstrations. The RCMP helicopter is goingto be here, just as a display,” said Reilly.

“The Explosives Disposal Unit, common-ly reerred to as the bomb squad guys, are booked to come down and they’ll be do-ing demonstrations. Not blowing up stu, but they have robots (they will demo) thatare used to get to a dangerous area or sus-picious package, so that they (the squad)don’t have to walk in there in case some-thing does happen.”

Students at Wheatland Elementary School got to sample a bit of western life, at their 13th

annual Western Days on May 31. The day included a petting area, with sheep and horses, an

opportunity for students to sharpen their roping skills, and of course, a pancake breakfast. One

of the top draws at the event was a trick riding demonstration by Bradi Dunn (shown here) and

Kirstie Rougeau.

a ar stretch rom what can happenon a day-to-day basis, the Youth Clubo Strathmore is oering a course that

should help alleviate some o thoseears. At Home Alone is a course or chil-

dren ages 10 and up, that teaches youth about home alone saety. Thecourse helps build confdence throughsaety, frst aid and comort skill withinstruction by ChildSae Canada.

“Just because a youth reaches a cer-tain age it does not mean they areready to stay at home alone. There isno legal age in Alberta where a youthcan be at home alone,” said ColinaClark, Program Coordinator or the

Youth Club.“That decision is between the youth

and the parent, based on the youth’sconfdence and skill level. And thiscourse may provide an opportunity to open up that dialogue between

youths and parents.” The At Home Alone course will be

held at the Youth Club centre, on June17 rom 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The YouthClub is quickly flling the month o

June with a variety o events to pleasemost. On June 6, there will be a Fusionmovie night, or students in Grade 7

and older. They will be showing Oz- The Great and Powerul at the centre.

June 7 marks another Fantabulous

Friday. Tech is the theme and rom 9a.m. to 5 p.m. Minds in Motion, romthe University o Calgary, will be

bringing in their LEGO Mindstorm.“They are a very popular Lego

theme that uses robotics. It goes beyond blocks. For a boy, its a great op-portunity to work with them as theMindstorm robot is very expensive,”said Clark.

For all the young anglers out there,the Youth Club is now oering a fsh-ing workshop on June 11, 13 and 15.

“The fshing workshop came about because o interest expressed by youth in the community and is be-ing delivered by a volunteer who’s arecreational fsherman himsel,” saidClark. The two classroom instructions will

be held at the Youth Club and will beollowed with a feld trip to the Stave-ly Reservoir, to put the newly learnedskills into action. There is still more room or regis-

tration into the fshing workshop. It’s$20 or members and $30 or non-members.

Who is covered on your home/tenant insurance policy?

With the economy being the

way it is, I have come across

some different types of living

situations when I am writing

homeowners policies.

The basic rule of thumb is,

if your roommate is related

to you, or is a dependent

under the age of 18, they

will be covered under your

homeowners/tenant policy.

-If you are married or if you

have been living together for

more than 3 years, you could

be considered common-law.

If you have a child together,

then you would be considered

common-law.

Sharon Blanchard and the family school resource councilors with Gold-en Hills Drug and Alcohol program were at Brentwood Elementary onMay 28. This program has been run-ning through GHSD for 10 years andis brought to the schools to introduceawareness and information surround-ing drugs and alcohol.

“The younger kids are taught right

from the start how to say no,” explainsBlanchard. All grade levels are involved and learn

age appropriate curriculum. Grade 5and Grade 6 students from Hussar andStandard were invited to participate inthe May 28 activities, which included‘Smokies Cafe.’ The students are actually shown

the ingredients that are contained incigarettes, and take turns wearing thedrunk goggles. The students put on glasses that sim-

ulate having the blood alcohol level of .06 all the way to .15 and are made to walk in a straight line, or operate a re-mote car on a designated path. There were seven stations that the

students rotated through, all pertainingto the harmful effects these substancescan have on you.

Organizers hope the experience willleave the students well educated on thesubject and leave them in the best pos-sible position to make the right deci-sion when the time presents itself.

County councillors accepted the useo the Municipal Sustainability Sel-As-sessment Toolkit, put out by the Alber-ta Government, at the May 21 councilmeeting.

It is mandatory or municipalities tosupply the government with planningand fnancial inormation. The toolkitsupplies recommendations and guide-lines to standardize the submitted in-ormation, and can be used as a toolto evaluate the municipality’s fnancialhealth and planning initiatives. The in-ormation collected also gives compara-tive eedback to other similar munici-palities.

“From what I can see, we are in real-ly good shape, compared to some oth-ers that I have seen,” said Alan Parkin, Wheatland County chie administrativeofcer (CAO). The Municipal Aairs website stated

the implementation o the standardizedinormation might be challenging or some municipalities. It developed thetoolkit to assist municipalities in reach-ing the targeted goals. The ormat wasdeveloped by many o the impactedstakeholders. Members o the AlbertaChapter o the Government FinanceOfcers Association volunteered many hours o their time and expertise inthe development o the recommendedguidelines and other project materials. Wheatland councillors praised

Wheatland sta or their due diligence, because many o the requirements were already in place.

“I am proud reading this and I com-pliment sta. It makes us look good

and they keep council up-to-date onthese kinds o things,” said Councillor Ken Sauve.

Part o the reporting includes areaso collaboration with other municipali-

ties and grant applications. The government is making collabora-

tive projects one o the deciding actorsin awarding upcoming grants.

“Once this is in place, it will be agood step stone or obtaining uturegrants,” said Reeve Glenn Koester.

County Financial Ofcer Pat Leitch

reviewed fnancial indicator graphs with the councillors, which were com-piled by Municipal Aairs rom fnan-cial inormation sent to the ministry.She clarifed the inormation that could be gleaned rom the summaries andcomparisons. She also asked councili there was any benefcial inormationthat could be added.

“You are the ones these fnancial re-ports are or,” said Leitch.

She added that she hoped the reports were helpul to their management anddecision making processes. She cau-tioned that there may be dierences inparameters or operations and report-ing by the various counties. For exam-ple, there might be dierences in goals,priorities, taxation, population, indus-try and geographic parameters that would aect the results on the graph.She said there were some actors thatmay skew the results slightly or intro-duce anomalies. Leitch expected those would be ironed out in uture reports.

Koester asked i cost sharing or co-operative projects between counties were recorded and Leitch replied thatthose were not indicated on the graphs.Councillors indicated that more break-downs under each area may be help-ul. They gave suggestions like a break-down o transportation costs, taxationdollars per person and replacementcosts versus new investment costs.

They also thought employee wages and beneft comparisons would be helpul.Leitch elt that the government would be open to the suggestions oered by council, and she would ask to develop

The term “off-label drugs” refers to the useof a drug for a condition it’s not approved for.

A good example of this is using a drug used to

treat high blood pressure and heart failure torelieve the anxiety of going on stage. Anotheris using an anti-malarial drug to treat night

time leg cramps.Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has

largely been eradicated with only two casesbeing reported this century. A German phys-

iologist, Emil von Behring, won the NobelPrize in 1901 for his work in developing an

anti-diphtheria vaccine.Allergies are common at this time of year.

Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20%

of people do. Many children outgrow theirallergies to milk and eggs by the age of ve.

If you have an allergic child, check with anallergy specialist who can test for allergies and

tell you the severity of the allergies your childhas.

It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body

with good health. However, as Health Canadasays, “there’s no such thing as a healthy tan”.Tanning is a sign of skin damage and exces-

sive exposure to the sun can cause skin can-cers in the future. If you want a quick, tannedlook, you can try those quick tan lotions.

Remember, they do not protect you from thesun. They are just cosmetic colourants.

them on uture reports.She summarized that the County had

higher transportation costs, due to thenumber o kilometers o road system in Wheatland County. The lower debt loadand higher surplus unds put the Coun-ty in good fnancial shape by compari-son. She suggested the County had a

high reliance on tax revenue comparedto other revenues and other counties,and it may be an issue to address in theuture. Leitch indicated that the County might want to consider specifc des-ignations or the unds in the Capitalsurplus.

Koester qualifed that the County didnot require as many municipal undinggrants as other counties. He suggestedit would be nice i the province oeredfnancial incentives or fscal responsi- bility. He thanked the CAO or the in-ormation, and Council approved thatthe inormation be included in their f-nancial packages in the uture.

“It is one o our duties here to un-derstand this inormation. We need totake the time to review this instead o just relying on our sta to provide it,”said Koester.

place. Standard was ortunateenough to hear Wildfower, an Alberta-based country acousticduo (www.wildfower-music.ca), with Jennie Clark and DeanSelby. Although the newest album is

infuenced mostly by his South-ern Alberta heritage, Gregory is hoping to expand his musicinto Manitoba, Saskatchewan

and Ontario, continuing his ca-reer momentum in the country music industry.

From the release party inStandard, Gregory said, “I can

not thank everyone enough who came out to the CD re-lease show in Standard. Thetown and this County has givenme some amazing support romthe start and I am very grate-ul.” You can pick up Gregory’s

latest album at the release par-ties or through his website at www. drewgregorymusic.com.

Times Reporter

John Godsman, Strathmore resident and writer,has put together a compilation o his Remember-ing Our Roots articles into a book o the sametitle. Remembering Our Roots Volume One con-tains 55 articles written rom May 2010 until De-cember 2012.

“Some o the people that I have seen over thelast two years, three years whatever, have beenpushing me to put this into book orm, so thatthey could give it to their grandchildren,” saidGodsman. The book is flled with interviews and history

rom Strathmore’s residents, outlining how they came to be in the area, and what they are doingnow.

Godsman and his wie Anne, moved to Strath-more in 2000, and in 2002 he retired. He joined

the seniors club and spent the next our wintersplaying cards throughout the day.“Ater our years, I decided there had to be

something better to do in retirement than sit andplay cards all day,” said Godsman.

He was reading a history book ‘Strathmore: the Village that moved,’ known as the green book tomany, that had been printed in 1986, when anidea sparked. He wanted to know who was stillliving in the area rom back then, and see whatthey had been up to.

Bob and Jan Giles were his frst interview or his new column. Godsman said he only ever in-terviewed one person that he ound in the green book. It was Art Eeles. Ater that, he spoke withmembers o the Wheatland Whirlers, and members o his congregation, until he was given a listo names to contact.

What originally began as a winter project hasgrown to become bi-weekly articles in the Strath-more Times.

“When I started the project I thought it mightlast six to nine months, and in May it (was) three years. The articles have evolved, initially I startedo with 250 to 300 words. Now I am up between600 and 900 words, because I’m talking to older people who have a longer lie time to talk about,”

said Godsman.“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed doing this, it’s been wonderul. I wish I had done it earlier, I have somany people I want to see and talk to.”

For the frst printing run o the book, Godsmanhad 100 copies made up, and he has the option toorder more at any time in the frst year.

“They’re going like hotcakes, I can see I’m go-ing to sell 100 no problem at all,” said Godsman. Volume Two is scheduled to come out in 2015,

with 52 articles. For now though,Volume One isavailable or $40 per book. To purchase the bookcontact the Strathmore Times at 403-934-5589. There will also be books available or sale at vari-ous locations around town.

On June 8, Godsman will be at the StrathmoreMunicipal Library rom 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to sharehis book and story.

Strathmore Montessori Society

The Strathmore Montessori Society is running aSilent Auction undraiser rom June 10-24, 2013.

Chinook Credit Union and Gold Key Insurancehave generously donated space in their lobbies,

where numerous auction items will be availableor bidding until 2 pm on Monday, June 24. Theauction items include: a one Day Family Pass or our to Tyrrell Museum, Calloway Park-Single En-try Pass or our, West Edmonton Mall-one Day Family Pass, Luggage and a Pentek Reverse Os-mosis System and much more. All unds generated

by the silent auction will directly beneft the K-3Public Montessori Program, at Wheatland Elemen-tary School in Strathmore. Supporting the Mon-tessori Program at Wheatland Elementary is theparent-run charitable organization, the StrathmoreMontessori Society. As an Alternative Program in

Golden Hills School Division, the Montessori pro-gram receives unding or teacher salaries, but thisfnancial support covers neither the cost o Mon-tessori materials nor Montessori-specifc teacher training, required in addition to a degree in Edu-cation. The SMS serves as the undraising body toensure these acets are addressed.

Fall 2013 will mark the ninth school year or

Wheatland’s Montessori program. The Grade K/1and 2/3 classrooms are characterized with spe-

cially designed, manipulative materials invitingstudents to engage in learning activities at their own pace. Under the guidance o a trained teach-er, children learn by making discoveries with theMontessori materials, cultivating concentration,motivation, sel-discipline and a love o learning.

A signifcant beneft o the Montessori philosophy is the way it allows students to learn at an indi-

vidualized pace, providing enrichment, which caneven challenge students to progress beyond regu-lar grade level. It is important to note that thoughthe way in which the students learn diers rom amainstream classroom, the curriculum set out by

Alberta Education is ollowed. At present, there are still a ew spaces let in the

Montessori Kindergarten program at WheatlandElementary School, which runs mornings Monday to Friday. I you are interested in registering your

child in Montessori at any grade level, or wouldlike more inormation, please call Wheatland Ele-mentary School at 403-934-3318 and ask to speakto Principal Kevin Lane, or Associate Principal Mi-chelle Silver Rushord, or you can contact Strath-more Montessori Society president Mandy Gil-lespie at 403-983-9880.

Everyone loves a silent auction!

“Organizations may receive up to $25,000 ingrant unding per year on projects that ocus onone or more o the ollowing objectives: volun-teering, mentoring, expanding awareness o elder

abuse, social participation and capital assistance.“We have many organizations dedicated to help-

ing seniors maintain a high quality o lie and con-tinue to be active, participating members o our communities – let’s utilize the help available romour government.”

The Government o Canada provides more than$33 million to support 1,750 community-basedprojects or seniors across the country. Since its

Fule for Thought

Recently, I was driving in the Walmart parkinglot, and a strange thing occurred to me. I don’tknow i you eel the same way, but it seems like we all lose our “driving IQ” there, and strangethings happen. It’s like all normal rules o drivinggo out the window and it becomes “survival o the ttest!”

It’s not even just the drivers, pedestrians goingin or coming out o Walmart … just go. There’s nolooking both ways, there’s just “go!”

People also don’t care too much about the in-tended “roads” in that lot, and they fy around cut-ting through the lot as i it was just some big track… “The Walmart 500!” That got me thinking about driving, and things

that happen behind the wheel, or even “ridingshotgun”.

In 1974, my older brother was stoked to get his

driver’s license, as most teenagers are. In thosedays, you had to get into Ban or the road test.Now in Ban, driving can get a bit crazy, as it’sa real tourist town. Gary had read his manual,passed the written, and only had his road test tonish. He was doing really well (or so he SAYS),until that ateul let turn on to Ban Avenue.Ban Avenue is the main road right through thetown and has a lovely boulevard up the middle, toseparate the streets. My brother, however, turnedlet on to Ban Avenue, but cut the turn a bit tight. Yup, you guessed it, he was now driving down the wrong side o the boulevard INTO oncoming cars!In act, he had a long block to continue down, andthe tester said calmly, “you know you’ve ailed,right?” At that moment, my brother only wanted to

get o that side o the road, and not wreck my dad’s new 1974 Dodge Monaco! O course, driv-ing with my brother was WAY more un ater this, you know … and I reminded him o this, on any let turn!

I shouldn’t be too cocky, as I ailed my rsttest, as well. It was a busy July day, and I wasturning right onto the same stupid avenue. I didnot realize that i you’ve started to turn right, andsomeone steps o the curb on the other side o the street, THAT would cause you to ail. It’s no wonder some people don’t like to deal with pe-destrians!

In act, you just have to look here in Strathmore.I don’t know i I’m overly sensitive, but doesn’t itseem to you, that young people eel they not only

have the right to cross any road, but they dare younot to stop! Sometimes it’s a bit tempting to givethem a little vehicle nudge, but I’m too old to go

to Prison!Sometimes turning onto a street can turn into a wonderul amily memory. We have riends who were driving around with their two little kidsin an American city. This was beore GPS or cellphones, and they turned on the road they needed. What they did NOT know, was that they had just become one o the many vehicles in a gay prideparade! They were now in the parade, and many o the side roads had been barricaded. All they could do was smile and wave, rantically lookingor an escape! I wonder i their kids wondered why so many spectators were looking so stunned,as they waved BACK!

It was 1985, Deb and her mom had been com-muting daily to Calgary rom Canmore to com-plete a Summer session. Deb was nishing her B.ED. and her mom, a M.ED. Deb’s mom had just

gotten a new red Mustang as a “congratulations”git, and they were driving in Calgary. They racedto an intersection at 16 Ave. N.W. and Pat had braked. She had gotten out a bit ar in the cross-ing, so she had to back up “a touch.” The young person next to her smiled and revved

his engine. Pat must have been eeling her oats,and she revved back! The light hit green and bothcars took o … Deb and her mom, backwards!She had let it in reverse, and had to slam on the brakes! Another guy in a car yelled, “give’er Mom-ma!”

Deb slowly slumped into the passenger seat, while her mom sheepishly giggled.

My son Brennen had a un thing he liked todo with a pal, while driving. Sometimes whenhe’d see a group o girls standing on a sidewalk,or even better, a parking lot, he’d pull his car upclose to the girls and on the passenger side. Thenhe’d put the car in park, put down the power win-dow … hold the button down, and just sit there … waiting. Sure enough, his buddy would be mor-tied … embarrassed … and sit there blushing.I guess it was Brennen’s avourite driving game!Driving can denitely have its share o laughs andembarrassments!

Letters to the editor

To the Editor Thank you or the opportu-

nity to provide my inormationon the Prairie Shelterbelt Pro-gram. The agriculture scene on the

Canadian Prairies has changedover the past ew decades. It isimportant that these changes

be recognized and governmentprograms are modifed so thatthey are eective and efcient.

The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA) was es-tablished in the 1930’s to takecare o environmental issues atthat time. It has done a good

job over the years, but or themost part, those initiatives have

been taken care o and cor-rected. The ederal role in providing

trees to armers can be traced back to the early 1900’s withthe need to help people im-migrating to Canada to shelter their homes and arms rom the

elements.Later on, when the ederal

government needed to inter- vene during the combinedemergencies o the Great De-pression and the Dust Bowlconditions o the 1930’s, help-ing armers to plant shelterbelts

w as an eective way o dealing with the severe soil erosion oc-curring on the Prairies. Agriculture and Agri-Foods

Canada (AAFC) is actively ex-ploring opportunities to trans-er sta and all associated as-sets to interested third parties

who could acquire o wnershipo the distribution program.

AAFC is making every eort to

ensure that the closure o thePrairie Shelterbelt Program isdone in a manner that maxi-mizes the uture economic andemployment opportunities or Indian Head, Saskatchewan.

AAFC will continue to developagro-orestry science, technol-ogy and genetic materials at the

site in Indian Head to help en-sure the uture sustainability o the agricultural land resource

base and improve the competi-tive position o the agriculturesector. While shelterbelts continue

to be useul to armers, mod-ern armers can make decisionsabout soil preservation andland management without get-ting ree trees rom the ederalgovernment. The Agro-orestry Development Centre (visit:

www.agr.gc.ca) continues tooer advice and inormationon planning, establishing andmaintaining Shelterbelts.

Wheatland Council, along with other municipalities, cer-tainly could become involvedand work with a coalition look-ing to continue a shelterbeltprogram at Indian Head. TheGovernment o Canada willno longer be involved ater December 2013. Since the an-nouncement o the end o theprogram in 2012, non-govern-ment organizations, coalitions,armers and other supportershave been encouraged to comeorward to continue the opera-tion.

Sincerely ,

Kevin Sorenson, MP

(Crowfoot)

Important changes to shelterbeltTo the Editor

I am writing to express my disgust with the recentconduct o the Strathmore Rural Fire Fighting Asso-ciation (SRFFA).

I am a tax paying resident and citizen o Carselandand have been trying to join SRFFA, because I’m con-cerned that those o us in the south hall protectionarea are not airly represented. There are several things that have happened recent-

ly to support my concern. The SRFFA required non-members to attend three

consecutive meetings to sit on the Board. Feeling thatI could contribute to the Board, I had attended meet-ings and the May 27th would have been my second.However, I, along with all other non-members wereousted rom the meeting. New rules or eligibility to

join are being created ad hoc.I understand that SRFFA has now been inormed

that banning us non-members will not be tolerated atuture meetings. However, that doesn’t get rid o theeeling that those o us representing Carseland arenot welcome on SRFFA.

I expect to be guaranteed a seat on the SRFFA andI expect any willing resident within the Carselandprotection zone to be permitted to be a member o SRFFA, unless guilty o criminal conduct.

Secondly, this association is managing monies rom

the public purse and should be open to scrutiny and better oversight rom Wheatland County. Prior to thedecision to remove non-members rom the meetingon May 27th, we were privy to a board discussion,regarding a requirement in the bylaws or an annualaudit o the SRFFA fnancials. The members o theSRFFA agreed that a “sel audit” would be acceptable.

I say the SRFFA is using corrupt practices, espe-cially in light o the recent unding problems within

the association. Thirdly, our Fire Chie Curt Emde and his Deputy

Chie, Ryan Hausworth, were dismissed due to not re-porting an incident regarding an alleged harassmento a community member. The allegations were ound

by the RCMP to be unsubstantiated. The dismissal let the Carseland community mem-

bers araid that adequate coverage was not being provided and it did great damage to good men who havegiven our community many volunteer hours. Will aormal public apology and re-instatement be orthcoming?

Lastly, the Emergency frst response vehicle wasmoved rom the Carseland Fire Hall to the StrathmoreFire Hall. Again, it let residents angry and araid thatcoverage is not being provided to our area o thezone. I understand that there is an on-going review regarding the easibility o separating the CarselandFire Association rom SRFFA. The decision-makingprocedures o the SFFRA continually deny us a voice.

Carseland citizens are continually subjected to un-reasonable treatment rom the SRFFA.

I want these issues resolved.Carseland needs to separate rom the SFFRA and

start their own Fire Association. Alternatively, i Wheatland County makes the de-

cision to keep Carseland Fire Association under the

heavy hand o SRFFA, the current SRFFA membersshould be removed and a board consisting o allnew members should be put in place, using a air and democratic process. The residents o Carseland/Speargrass and area should be guaranteed an equalnumber o seats and votes.

Regards,Tina Scott Carseland

Sundays 10:30 amCome join us or a spirit-flled time

o worship

As I was reading this week,

my mind moved to some o the

wisdom expressed in Ecclesias-

tes 3:1 - 8:

“To everything there is a

season, a time or every purpose

under heaven.

A time or giving birth,

a time or dying;

a time or planting,

a time or uprooting what has

been planted;...

a time or mourning.

a time or dancing;

...

a time or keeping silent,

a time or speaking;

...

a time or war,

a time or peace.”

Looking around our world,

rom individual household to the

international sphere, these things

can be appreciated in today’s lie.

Babies are born and elders pass

on around us. The Circle o Lie

keeps rolling on.

Seeding is just about complete

hereabouts, and weeding and

spraying will try to save the good

crop or the harvest while reduc-

ing the conounding weeds.

Celebrations can and do

happen to mark milestone o lie,

whether the celebration o the

lie o a riend as in a uneral,

or the milestone passages or

children, graduates, marriages,

childbirth, and wedding anniver-

saries among us. That people

stay sae and experience joy

while doing this is something I

pray or.

Holding one’s tongue at times,and speaking up or what is right

or the oppressed or the weakest

among us are both good things.

Discerning when to do each is a

skill requiring much practice.

We can take solace that we

have not endured war in our land

in over 100 years. Pity the areas

o the world in active confict

these days. “Blessed be the

Peacemakers” should be on the

mind o all o us.

With these thoughts in mind,

let us savour the pleasures, and

endure the pangs o lie in our

community these days in this

season o spring renewal.

To the Editor Regarding the issue of April 18, involving the loss

of my tool case which included specialized toolsneeded for my work of Piano Technology, I do wantto pursue this issue ... this loss has affected my liveli-hood and my life immensely. There must be more exposure to this violation and

others, which, as I talk to more and more people,

these violations are happening all too frequently inour neighborhoods ... all over town ... with very lim-ited restitution. Many are affected but many of thesecrimes actually go unreported.

I believe that it is important to keep the details of these issues alive and exposed, rather than being socomplacent with the attitude of “what happens, hap-pens ... there’s nothing we can do.” We, as society, should not be so complacent - these

and other violations will only become more rampant. The attitude of helplessness and ultimate accep-

tance of being violated by so many truly disturbs me,as bad seeds are being nurtured here. As a kid grow-

ing up I was taught with strong encouragement thatif it’s not yours, do not touch it!

“The Golden Rule … in everything - do unto oth-ers as you would have them do unto you.”

I’m hesitant to point blame to the youth of our community ... but there has been witnessing by many of youth being out late at night/early morning

with “nothing better to do.” Walking the streets, some

perhaps seeking entry into vehicles, homes, garages.Even if a door is left unlocked, rite of entry is not warranted without the owner’s permission. We haveto be comfortable to trust. As our community/town continues to become more

populated it is even more important that awareness be broadened in homes and schools, and to discussand discern how we can make this issue one of vitalimportance to help eliminate crime in Strathmore tomake it a safe and appealing town to live in.

Letters to the editor Correction

On page 15 of the May 31 edition of the Strathmore

Times there was a mistake in the article, ‘Summer

reading program returns’. It states that the

program runs from July 23 to August 23. The correct

dates are actually July 2 to August 23.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may

have caused.

The County is asking residents andratepayers to speak up on initiativesput orward in the Drat Municipal De- velopment Plan (MDP). All municipali-ties over 3500 people are required by the government to have an MDP. It is athirty year plan which is reviewed ev-ery fve years. It guides County policy on development issues o uture landuse, municipal services, inrastructureand acilities. They can be expandedto include guidelines or fnancial plan-ning, social, physical, economic, cul-tural, and environmental developmentand programs.

So, once initiatives are placed in thefnal drat and the bylaw is drated andapproved, residents will have to abide by its rules or another fve years.

“This is your opportunity to tell usi you agree or disagree with the drat,and tell us what you would like to seeinstead,” said Alex Taylor, Project Man-ager rom Dillon Consulting who com-piled the drat MDP. Taylor combined inormation or

the drat rom: Alberta Government

requirements, reviews o the previousMDP, results rom discussions withCounty Council and Development andPlanning sta, and all the eedbackgiven at open houses held in the com-munity, or submitted in writing.

He presented a clear, organized sum-mary o the suggested drat at openhouses held in Cheadle and Rosebudon May 27 and 28 respectively. The var-ious levels o planning were outlined,and Taylor showed where a MDP ftsin. He described the various plans and

Residents get last kick at the MDPpolicies aected by it, rightdown to an individual’s de-cision to build. He clarifedmore detailed inormationis developed in levels be-low the MDP, such as the Area Service Plans (ASP) andLand Use Bylaws. Taylor saidthe previous MDP had morecontext and this review ismore specifc and includesmore policies. There is onethird to one hal new con-tent in the revised MDP. The whole presentation and theprevious 2006 MDP is post-ed on the County website www.wheat landcounty.caor residents and ratepayersto review, or they can pickup paper copies at the Coun-ty ofce.

Residents have all sum-mer to review the plan and

submit input or inclusionin the fnal plan, which isscheduled or presentationto Council in September.Other stakeholders, suchas WID, School Boards andarea industries will receive acopy o the drat or consid-eration at this time.

Earlier this spring, when the Alberta govern-ment delivered a seven per cent cut, rather thanthe expected two per cent increase to the prov-ince’s post-secondary institutions, Calgary’s MountRoyal University (MRU) responded by eliminatingits art programs, stranding their current and pro-

spective arts students.Paul Muir, Education Director at Rosebud School

o the Arts (RSA), wrote to MRU’s board, urgingthem to reconsider their decision. He reerredto the quote rom Gabrielle Roy, eatured on theCanadian twenty-dollar bill: Could we ever know each other in the slightest without the arts?

“Here’s something that is signifcant enough togo on our $20 bills, yet it’s one o the frst thingsthat gets cut when cuts are being made,” Muir

says. “The way we know not only ourselves, butthe way we know ourselves rom generation togeneration, is through the arts. It’s through story-telling ... Our whole cultural identity as a provinceis held in our storytelling.”

Muir says storytelling happens through music, visual art, theatre and dance.

It might seem RSA would rejoice in the reducedcompetition brought on by the MRU program can-

cellation, but Muir doesn’t take that perspective.“In no way are we interested in being vultures,”

he said.His emphasis is on the cancellation’s harm to

the arts community.“With ewer places to train,” said Muir, “ultimate-

ly, you’re still hurting the (arts) industry. Obvious-ly, we care about the students who now don’t havea place to go that were going to MRU.”

“It’s or the public, but we really do want to make a spe-cial invitation to the MRU students to say… hey, we careabout the act that this cancellation is happening, and wecare about you, and we care about arts training in general,”said Muir. “I Rosebud School o the Arts does pick up a ew

students, o course it benefts Rosebud School o the Arts, but my hope is that the greater beneft actually is or thestudent. Our philosophy toward education here at Rosebudis that it actually is all about the student.” A highlight o the Open House will be a ree lunchtime

concert starting at 12:15 p.m., eaturing the Cotton PatchGospel band, currently perorming in Rosebud’s summer musical. Muir said everyone will enjoy the bluegrass musicregardless o their usual musical genre.

“You’re going to be tapping your oot to it, even i (blue-grass isn’t) your cup o tea,” Muir said. “I would just encour-age people to come out. There will be Rosebud actors andinstructors there. I think it will just be a really good thingor people to have a chance to talk about what Rosebud is,

what we have to oer, and actually fnd out directly rom thepeople that work here.” The day beore the Open House, RSA will part icipate in

a rally planned by Save Our Fine Arts (SOFA), to be held inthe Epcor Centre’s Max Bell Theatre, at 7:30 p.m. on June12, organized to protest the deep provincial cuts to post-secondary education.

“We’re a private institution. We don’t receive public money anyway,” Muir said, but supports the cause in spite o their unding. “RSA’s wish is to express support or the sta andstudents o institutions that are aected. I hope it eels likea response that is in solidarity with our colleagues at MountRoyal University, and that we really do want to partner withthem.”

Did you know? A transient ischemic attack, oten reerred to

as a “mini stroke,” is an event that’s similar

to a stroke. When a person has a TIA, the

symptoms are just like those o a stroke, but

they last less than 24 hours beore disap-

pearing. However, that disappearance doesnot mean a person is in the clear, as a TIA is

a serious warning sign o stroke. According

to the National Stroke Association, up to 40

percent o people who experience a TIA will

go on to have an actual st roke, and studies

have shown that nearly hal o all strokes

occur within a day or two o having a TIA. But

even those people who do not have a stroke

within 48 hours o having a TIA are sti ll at

risk o having a stroke. In act, 10 to 15

percent o people who have a TIA will have a

stroke within three months. Symptoms o a

TIA are sudden and may include conusion;

diculty speaking or understanding; numb-

ness or weakness o the ace, arm or leg,

particularly on one side o the body; vision

trouble in one orboth eyes; trouble walking;

dizziness; and/or loss o balance or coordi-nation. Interrupted blood fow to the brain i s

oten behind a TIA. A lack o blood and oxy-

gen in the brain oten leads to the temporary

symptoms described above. Should you or a

loved one exhibit any o the aorementioned

symptoms, seek medical help immediately,

even i the symptoms eel or appear as i

they are subsiding. A quick response might

just prevent a ull-on stroke.

Have you ever wondered why somany older people are smiling? Let’sthink about that or a moment….Mostseniors have a warm place to live. Thekids are grown up and out o the nest. They only work i they choose to, andthey are fnished with having other people tell them what to do! True, they might have a ew more aches and pains, but when your most burning questionis “What will I do today?” a sore kneeand a slightly leaky bladder are mereinconveniences.

Most seniors have a sense o satisac-tion and anticipation around their new-ound reedom, because they’ve paid

their dues and now they get to samplelie rom a huge smorgasbord o pos-sibilities. Forrest Gump once said, “Lieis like a box o chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” Butthat’s okay, as long as you enjoy choco-late and surprises! This wonderul attitude is what we

reer to as positive aging. Even i ev-ery day isn’t a bed o roses, most se-niors are thankul to be on this side o the grass, or as one put it, I’d rather beover the hill than buried under it! It’snot so much about having a big wad o money in the bank, or even having 100riends…it’s more about learning to letgo o the things that make you eel oldand move on with a resh look at lie. While doing some research on posi-

tive aging, we discovered a book enti-tled “From Aging to Saging: A ProoundNew Vision o Growing Older” by Zal-man Schachter-Shalomi. It is describedon www.amazon.ca as a book in whichReb Zalman shares his journey to fnd a way to turn aging into the most mean-ingul and joyous time in his lie. Theauthor shows readers how to create anaging process or themselves that is ullo adventure, passion, mystery and ul-fllment, rather than anxiety. By har-nessing the power o the spirit, as wellas explaining exactly how to become asage in their own community, he givesreaders a helpul and moving way to

use their own experiences to nurture,heal, and perhaps even save a younger generation rom the prison o how wetypically regard aging.

Positive aging is:

• Taking advantage of opportunities

to become contented and ulflled as we age because we have experiencedmuch and now know better what to doand not to do to be happy.

• Learning to relax demands placedon us by others and ourselves. We don’teel the need to be super heroes.

• Forgiving ourselves and othersmore easily because we have learned itis more work to carry a grudge.

• Taking chances more frequently,as we don’t uss over a ailure. Whocares? Try again.

• Acknowledging that smart eatingand requent exercising are good choic-es, which will help us live longer andhave a better quality o lie.

• Realizing that getting involved

is more un than being bored, and itopens doors or us to communicate andgrow.

• Doing things that bring us joy,peace and ulfllment and not wastingtime on negative stu.

• View helping others, learning andgrowing as opportunities not obliga-tions. What does positive aging look like?• You go to a party and you feel out

o place, but you still accept and like yoursel or who you are.

• It’s learning to SKYPE on the com-puter so you can keep in touch with your grandchildren.

• It’s buying a bicycle so you can ridedowntown on Saturdays.

• It’s volunteering at the local schoolto help young students with their read-ing skills.

• It’s taking a road trip with your best riend, to fnally see the Rockiesup close.

• You go to a meeting and nally have the guts to stand up and say what you really think.

• Being grateful that wrinkles don’thurt.

• You fall on the stairs and hurt your ankle, but are grateul that you didn’t break both legs.

• You nally take that painting classthat you’ve been putting o or years because you were too busy.

• When you’re beyond the shameo asking a person their name when you’ve met them several times beore.

• Going to the hairdresser and decid-ing to try a new haircut or a new style.

Alex Taylor, Project Manager romDillon Consulting said combined voic-es in the county are calling or a ocuson agriculture and preservation o our rural liestyle. Taylor draws his conclusions rom

the combined input given to the new Municipal Development Plan. TheMDP drat suggests a clear process isneeded or development projects, in-cluding provisions or water resources,environmental protection, good roadsand inrastructure systems. All devel-opments are recommended to be sus-tainable and hold their own on an eco-nomic and nancial basis.

“We developed a renewed vision or the County. We believe it should striveor what everyone in the county wantsand all the goals and policies shouldstem rom that vision,” said Taylor. The new vision statement was based

in part on previously approved mission

statements used by the County.It is: Wheatland County seeks a bal-anced approach to sustainable, well-planned development, which enhancesand protects our agricultural and natu-ral areas and resources over the longterm. We will promote a quality o liethat refects our rural heritage, andensures a County that we can all beproud o. Sustainable levels o servicesand inrastructure will help our com-munities to grow or the benet o all,promoting our community spirit. The key policies which support that

vision hinge on three goals: the pres-ervation o heritage, management o growth and development o County services.

Heritage preservation begins by pre-serving armland, so residential devel-opment will be encouraged aroundexisting residential areas. Agricultural values will be promoted by develop-ing more variety in agricultural useand encouraging responsible armingpractises. The prior MDP allowed only one par-

cel subdivided rom a section o land. The new plan suggests increasing sub-division to ve parcels per each sec-tion. At rst glance, this policy seemsto contradict preservation, but LindaHenrickson, Wheatland County Proj-ect Manager says it really discouragesoverdevelopment.

“The intention is to limit residen-tial, so in general a three acre parcelis what is preerred, because it makessure there is enough or another eld(septic) i your eld ails. I it is beyondthat, ve to 10 acres, it becomes an ag-ricultural small holding rather than aresidential parcel, and beyond 40 acresit becomes agricultural general,” said

Henrickson. The change was in response to de-mands or more fexibility. In the past,amilies wanted to provide opportu-nities or amily members to build in-dependent residences, yet stay on theamily arm. They also wanted optionsor un-armable areas, or wanted op-portunities to sell small portions or economic relie in times o nancialhardships.

County planners considered that beyond ve parcels, the requirements or an expensive Area Structure Plan andmunicipal servicing would discouragethe property owners rom consider-ing residential development and keepland in agricultural use. An ASP can

cost anywhere rom $12,000 to over $30,000. The new MDP recommends remov-

al o Subdivision Credit Application Transer (SCAT) program or un-arm-able land, as it is not easible under ave parcel policy. It would be replaced by a Transer Development Plan (TDP)that is based on land credits, which

could be sold to others, or transerredor equitable compensation. The TDPis used in the U.S. and by the County o Big Horn in Alberta, but exact de-tails about provincial plans or a simi-lar program haven’t been released. Itis expected to be implemented withinve to 10 years.

“We are making sure i the provincialgovernment comes orward with thatin the next ew years, the County will be able to ollow in that direction,” said Taylor.

Natural areas were to be preservedrom development encroachment, by incorporating environmental reviewsand protection or environmentally sensitive area and native vegetation.Suggestions or strong water policiesincluded making inventories and mapso groundwater, surace water, ripar-ian and wetland areas. Naturalized andlow impact plantings were encouragedon borders to surace water, and goodstorm water mitigation plans were sug-gested.

Strathmore and Eagle Lake have been designated as the largest poten-tial residential growth zones, ollowed by areas surrounding towns, villagesand hamlets. Potential industrial andcommercial growth was suggestedto ollow along currently establishedcorridors. Tree planting and use o naturalized landscapes within develop-

ments was also encouraged. Commu-nal water and wastewater services arediscouraged; instead, they should linkinto existing inrastructures.

“The MDP continues the policy o discouraging private wells or areasthat are already have servicing. So, inthe hamlets that have servicing, no private wells are permitted in those areasand water trucking discouraged,” said Taylor.

Water and wastewater plans would berequired or new developments, withsuggestions that County water servicesare metered, keeping in mind conservation and Green practises. Compost-ing plans would be encouraged.

New policies were needed to devel-

op the County’s historic and rural iden-tity. Promotion o agro-tourism or eco-

nomic development was listed. Historic building reconstruction, encouraginghistoric housing designs in new developments and the naming o streetsater historical gures, and developinga historical site inventory were recom-mended. Promotion o tourist attrac-tions stemming rom a tourism inven-tory was introduced.

The development o partnerships would encourage parks and recreationopportunities within communities andnew developments. These areas couldinclude pathway and trail development.Health and saety o residents would beprovided and developed through service delivery partnerships; and needs would be targeted through periodic as-sessments o emergency services. En-couragement could be given or new developments to use environmentaldesign to discourage criminal activity.

Hamlets and municipal communities were recommended building sites or institutional complexes and it was rec-ommended they situate close to othersalready established within the County.

Eective long term planning or development and maintenance o road- ways could be delivered through coor-dinated asset management.

Retail and Commercial developmentis encouraged as an economic base or hamlets.

Industrial development would develop in the current established areasalong Hwy 1, west o Carseland andalong Hwy 21 with buers set up or residential areas. Increasing transpor-tation accesses with visual, noise, dustand trac mitigation policies weresuggested. Agro and home-based busi-nesses could be encouraged.

Mitigation policies would also ap-

ply to natural resource development within the County jurisdiction. It wasrecommended that mapping o natu-ral resources within the County takeplace to acilitate better managementpractises. Any natural resource devel-opment was suggested to be clustered,to prevent adverse impacts on envi-ronmentally sensitive and residentialareas. Development o sustainable andcommunity appropriate energy plans were encouraged, with suggestions or impact, setback and decommissioningstudies. Emphasis could be placed en-ergy conservation practises. The entire MDP drat is available or

Dan MacDonald has been ap-pointed as the new head coacho the AAA Midget UFA Bisons. A previous scout or the Tampa Bay Lightning and head coach o the

WHL’s Red Deer Rebels, MacDonaldis not only excited to be joining acompetitive hockey team, but a pro-gram that is now combining the Bi-sons with Strathmore High Schoolto study and to train.

“It’s a really unique experienceor the players,” MacDonald said.“It’s going to be way better situationor them because they won’t haveto travel so much, we can spendmore time together, and they cangain rom the school experience sothey can eel part o the school asa group.”

Strathmore High’s Associate Prin-cipal Doug Raycrot agrees, thatthe school experience will presentleadership opportunities, ability to share resources, and take their student athletes to another level. “Ithink it really goes well with what

we try to do,” said Raycrot. We’reall about trying to help our studentsto be successul, in every way—ath-letics and academics.”

Raycrot was unaware o any oth-er AAA Midget teams that oer asimilar program, a large advantageto the Bisons, but did say someparents could have some concerns.

What would happen at the end o the season, when the student wantsto return to their hometown school?

“We’re small enough that weknow everyone, but we’re bigenough that we oer a ull gamuto options and core classes and APclasses,” Raycrot said. “So or us

to transition or communicate withthe school they’re going back to,and making an easy transition, itshouldn’t be an issue at all.”

Dan MacDonald himsel was ateacher at Red Deer College (lead-ing the school’s hockey team or three years), and also coached thecity’s AAA Midget team or fve

years.“In those fve years we did re-

ally well, we went to our nationalchampionships,” MacDonald said.

“So I certainly know the needs o the players, and what they need to

work on, and how to work withthat group. That’s what I bring.

That’s why they asked me to do it.” Among his many accolades, Mac-

Donald was named Alberta Junior Hockey Coach o the Year in 2008,and Alberta Major Midget Hockey League Coach o the Year in 1995.He hopes to win a league cham-pionship in the AMHL, then pos-sibly move onto the Pacifc Cham-pionship and Nationals (which he’smade it to - twice).

MacDonald knows he can leadsome Bison players to the AJHL,

where he once coached or theOlds Grizzlies and Okotoks Oilers.“That’s what the kids want to get

to,” he said. “You still have to play as a team –there’s not doubt aboutthose things – but ultimately we’retrying to push on as many play-ers as we can to reach the highestheights they can reach as hockey players. That’s what the frst goal is– development. Second goal would

be, we want to see them succeedin their academics, and that’s wherethe school partnership comes in.

The third goal is to win a champi-onship. I think you always play to

win.”Aryssah Stankevitsch Photos

Coming into its 30th season, Expressions, theDance Gallery will be celebrating with a 30th An-niversary Showcase Recital, on June 22 at the Ju- bilee Auditorium in Calgary.

Heather Thomas, artistic director and owner of the dance studio, runs all types of dance styles for dancers, ages three to 19: tap, ballet, jazz, musi-cal theatre, contemporary, modern, acrobatics andhip hop. A few clients drive to Expressions all the way

from Calgary, where Thomas used to own a previ-ous studio.

“Some of them have been here all their life;even some of our teachers started when they werethree,” Thomas said. “Our faculty sort of comes

up through the ranks, so they know how we likethings taught and the standard in everything that we do. It’s great.”

If coaching doesn’t appeal to the students,many of Thomas’ prodigies have gone on to do

cruise lines, circus acts, aerial arts, and profes-sional shows such as Second City and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. One Expressions graduate evenplaced top eight in So You Think You Can DanceCanada.

“There’s lots of things for kids to do once they graduate from this studio, it depends upon whattheir interests are,” Thomas said.

Registration is open this month for the upcom-ing season. Tickets for the Anniversary ShowcaseRecital can be purchased at the Dance Gallery for $26. All 170 students will be in the show, which begins at 4 p.m.

Five years ago, ater a previous hock-ey school olded, Doug Raycrot recog-nized the town’s need and created theElite Hockey Development Camps.

Now available or the entire month

o August, are two programs: one or novice to peewee, and one or bantamto midget.

“We have the kids coming out romdierent age groups, and it’s develop-mental, so we’re teaching them and in-structing them, but it’s also kind o aconditioning. It’s high tempo stu, toget them ready or the season,” Ray-crot said.

Raycrot played junior hockey him-sel, and received a college scholarshipto the United States. Aterwards, he

coached junior, and has been helping with dierent hockey schools or over 20 years. Anyone is able to join, with roughly

25 spots in each program.“We’ll take anyone that wants to. It’s

not really a learn-to-skate program,in the older group there’s a lot o re-

ally good players,” Raycrot said. “Wehave quite a ew that went onto the AA teams. Now they’re starting to go intomidget and stu and some have made junior hockey. So we have a lot o suc-cess stories.” There is more to come, according

to Raycrot. He’s confdent some o his students will end up with collegescholarships, just like he did.

They’re 12-0 in league play. Not only so, but the Strathmore Thunder GirlsU16 baseball team is playing in a U19midget division o Calgary Minor Ball.

“We’ve gone a little bit more o a com-petitive route this year,” said Coach Trev-or Pollock. With optional practices starting last

November and team practices beginningindoors in January, the girls have also

been excelling at their weekend tourna-ments.

On May 10, the girls traveled to Saska-toon, losing once and fnishing third. On

Victoria Day Weekend the girls playedin Wetaskiwin, losing in the fnals to La-combe. The girls travel to Red Deer on

June 8, and Lloydminister on June 21,

beore heading back to Wetaskiwin or provincials in July.

“A lot o these girls played in the

year. They’re a real good group.”Last year’s team won the bantam di-

vision in Calgary Minor Ball, and this year’s team is made partially rom thatroster, including girls rom Strathmore,Chestermere and Calgary.

“We’ve combined a couple o dierentteams,” Pollock said. “They’re playinggirls in the midget category, in leagueplay this year, and then in our tourna-ments we play our regular category.

We’re trying to get them prepared or stronger pitching and stronger batting.”

Wheatland Inline Hockey Association will be well rep-resented at the Canada WestInline Cup this year, with

Koadi Kozma, Tate Barnett,Matt Holkovic, and Christo-pher Rebeyka being namedto the Alberta squad. BritishColumbia and Saskatchewanalso gather their best 13 to15-year-old inline hockey players to ace o in the tour-nament; however Alberta isthe only province that hasenough talent or two teams. The Canada West Cup

takes place opposite years o the Alberta Summer Games, which Barnett and Kozma both took place in last year.

Kozma, a goalie, idolizes Tim Thomas and hopes to

make the NHL one day. He’s been playing inline hockey or our years.

“The guys in the tryouts were really good, and un toplay with, so I’m really excit-ed,” centre Tate Barnett said.

Matt Holkovic, who plays

orward and deense, said heelt airly confdent in himsel and his teammates, as Alber-ta has won the tournamentquite requently.

“I’ve played ice hockey pretty much all my lie Iguess, and then this is my frst year o inline,” said Rebeyka,a orward and deenseman as well. “It’s just un. You can go

to big tournaments, like theone we’re going to, which ispretty cool.” Alberta chose approximate-

ly 12 players or each team,including two goalies. TheCanada West Cup takes place July 4 to 7, in Sherwood Park.

Strathmore Canadian Tirehad an initial undraisinggoal o $8,000 towards the

Jumpstart program, but they surpassed that with a totalamount o $8,166. Unortu-

nately, it wasn’t enough to bring Chicago Blackhawk Jonathan Toews to town,as Dauphin, Manitoba’s Ca-nadian Tire location raised$20,000 and sold a total o 10,000 Red Balls or the cam-paign.

“Although it is disappoint-ing not to have won the visitrom Jonathan Toews, plac-ing frst in our region, sixthnationally, and raising over $8,000 or Jumpstart is still agreat accomplishment – so Istill eel like we won,” saidShelley Orord, co-owner

o the Strathmore Canadian Tire.She co-owns the store with

her husband Randy.“The community support

or the campaign was antas-tic. I would like to thank ev-eryone who came out to sup-port us on Jumpstart Day,

and bought a Red Ball dur-ing the month o May,” shesaid, also noting special ap-preciation to the WheatlandKings or their appearance atthe BBQ on May 25.

Other locations in Ontario,Manitoba, and New Bruns-

wick surpassed Strathmore’s

numbers, who at one time were ourth in undraising.Not only did Strathmoreraise the most in Alberta, butthe most in Western Canadaas well including British Co-lumbia and Saskatchewan.

“It’s hard to eel like welost when we raised aware-ness,” Orord said.

One o three Canadianamilies cannot aord to en-roll their children in sports.

Jumpstart changes that, as-sisting fnancially disadvan-taged kids in recreation, by covering registration costs,helping with transportationees, and paying or equip-ment. Since 2005, the Jump-start program has helpedover 580,000 kids ages our to 18 across Canada. Onehundred per cent o custom-er donations go directly tothose children in need.
