Members from the Community Enhancement Board (CEB) provided County of Wheatland Council with their funding recommendations on Nov. 20.

“There were a lot of great creative ideas put forth from the community,” said Marcy Field with CEB.

There were 40 applications for funding. There were also two big-ticket applicants. The Town of Drumheller Badlands Community Facility, which was referred back to council to consider use of Municipal Reserve funds in consideration of the Dalum residents that would use the facility. The Strathmore Golf Club Arts and Recreation Foundation also ap-plied.

Out of the 2011-2012 allotment, 29 projects were chosen for recommendation at a cost of $599,865.20. There was an additional $100,000 separated out for library funding. A reserve of approximately $59,000 was left in the fund. Full funding asked for by the 29 applicants was recommended.

The board was formed in the Spring of 2012 and members met with council in June to set up timelines and the application process for community interest groups. Advertisements went out and the deadline for 2012 applica-tions was Sept. 30.

The September deadline applies only to this year’s allocations. In 2013 onward, applica-tions for Community Enhancement money will be taken until Jan. 31 of each year, with checks issued to accepted applicants by March 31.

This year the board developed guidelines for its structure, funding parameters and applica-tion review processes on Oct. 10.

“It was a long meeting but they worked through it all,” said Jennifer Deak, CAO for the county.

There are two representatives on the board from each electoral division in Wheatland County. No alternative representatives are ap-pointed to attend meetings, if the original ap-pointee cannot attend a meeting. The repre-sentative’s terms will be staggered respectively one and two year terms. Wheatland Council will appoint the representatives. Adminis-trative support to the board is provided by Wheatland County.

Christmas market fun

sTrATHmoreTIMESLocally Owned & Operated

Tthe Strathmore and Area Christmas Market was held at the Strathmore Travelodge Nov. 18. Thirty vendors selling everything from books to fashion accessories to clothing at-tracted a steady stream of shoppers. Santa and Mrs. Claus were on hand to help with that Christmas wish list. Organizer and Strathmore resident Kim Bodeux considered this event to be a great success and her plan is to run the Christmas Market again next year. She is also looking into organizing a similar event for the spring around Mother’s Day.

Applicants may be asked to meet with the board members. No retroac-tive applications are considered. Re-ceipts must be provided and full ac-counts made on funds granted.

Funding decisions are made on a re-gional basis, rather than a divisional boundary basis. Consideration is giv-en:

• to projects with lasting value over one-time events

• for maintenance and operating costs

• whether other funding sources are available

• large projects that are broken into phases

• charitable projects by charitable organizations.

• whether municipal funding could be used for eligible projects,

• projects for beautification, rec-reation, entertainment and enhance-ments.

Council thanked the board for their efficient and expedient work, and they approved all the recommendation. Letters of approval will be sent to all the accepted applicants.

“I think they have done a fantastic job,” said Councillor Ben Armstrong.

Tis the season to help those in needFood is starting to come in, but as al-ways there is always the concern over whether or not there will be enough. Nov. 20 was the first sorting day for the Strathmore and District Christmas Hamper Society. The tables where still fairly bare, but the hope is to have them filled by Dec. 13. The cutoff for food donations is Dec. 13 and the society will still collect cheques after that date.

Lester Jones, an employee of The Strathmore Standard, insisted on wearing a tie to work every day. One day while working, he caught his tie between the printing press rollers, and was slowly being pulled in. A quick-thinking assistant leapt up and cut the tie with a pair of scissors, saving Jones’ life. Jones then berated the assistant for ruining his best tie.

Alberta Venture magazine has cho-sen its 25 most innovative organiza-tions and the Rosebud Centre of the Arts has made the list with an impres-sive record.

The magazine says that if it “wasn’t for its school, the tiny town of Rosebud might not exist,” and with an approxi-mate 40,000 visitors per year, the com-munity has grown into a bustling area.

“We were surprised to even receive the nomination from Alberta Venture,” says Adam Furfaro, executive director of the Rosebud Centre for the Arts.

Part of the shock came because no one knew that the organization had even been nominated to the magazine.

“We did a little investigation, and we weren’t nominated by anybody, and

we didn’t put ourselves forward, it was Alberta Venture who came up the list themselves with some brainstorming,” he said.

Furfaro thinks that the magazine sought the organization out because Rosebud is a unique community that “has found a way to exist” when many people probably thought it would have failed.

“If you put a business model to-gether, the business model probably wouldn’t reflect [the success of the or-ganization],” says Furfaro.

LaVerne Erickson founded the Rose-bud theatre almost 40 years ago in 1973 where it started as a summer camp for kids, and they slowly began putting on plays.

“I know it’s been a struggle to try and operate a business in rural Canada, and you have to have a good business

model to make it work,” Erickson says, and concedes that he was surprised by the nomination as well.

Erickson says the nomination will help with getting “recognition with other businesses” and “campaigning the cause of rural businesses.”

“This place kind of keeps re-invent-ing itself and adding on more and more and attracting people from more and more places, at first where it was a lo-cal entity, it became very quickly a gem for this entire province,” said Furfaro.

Rosebud will be introducing four op-era house plays in 2013 along with an upcoming Christmas play, ‘It’s a Won-derful Life: The Radio Play’ running from Nov. 1 - Dec. 22. They are also introducing a new series entitled Rose-bud Presents, which features theatrical performances, concerts and improvisa-tion.

From now until Dec. 1 there are historic and inter-esting memorabilia at the Strathmore Municipal Li-brary. Items from the Titanic are on display to help gen-erate awareness and interest in the upcoming lecture and exhibit.

Larry Robinson, a Titanic historian, was in the neigh-bourhood and decided to approach the library about putting up the display and hosting a lecture.

Robinson has hosted lec-tures at various schools, col-leges, museums and galleries since 1991. He also hosted tours when the TELUS World of Science had their Titanic exhibit last year.

“We were just completely shocked to have something like this land in our laps, it is such a great opportunity so we jumped on it right away. We thought with 2012 being the 100th anniversary of Titanic we really wanted to aim to have this program in this year,” said Carmen

Erison, acting director of li-brary services.

“There was no thinking about it, we had to present this type of program. It was such a great opportunity. Ev-erybody knows about this historical event. They might just know it by the movie but now if they come they’re going to hear more about the actual story.”

The display is now up. On Dec. 1 Robinson will be speaking in a children’s program from 10:30 a.m. un-til 12 noon, and then in an adults program from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. The children’s lecture will focus more on the story and significant events. Robinson has dis-covered that adults are more interested in learning more about the technical side of what happened and so that is what they will hear.

“I will be showing a rare 1912 film on the Titanic and because it’s a silent film, it’s about half an hour long, so I lecture on that while the film is playing to get a lot of information out there about the film and what’s going on

Taste of Titanic at the Strathmore library

in it,” said Robinson. In addition to some of the

items already on display and the film Robinson plans to also bring photos and some duct plans. Robinson said a lot of Titanic historians have different specialties, for some it may be about the passengers and the sur-vivors.

“I myself I focus on the technology of the ship. The woodwork, the room lay-outs, the way they riveted steel back then. There’s other historians that revolve around the Titanic and the Californian affair, that’s the ship that sat about 10 miles

away, it was called the Cali-fornian and that sat there all through the night while the Titanic sank,” said Robinson.

“Californian officers saw the eight rockets from the Titanic so they’re involved around the legalities, so again not much interested in the ship or the passengers just in the legal format be-hind it. When you get a few Titanic historians together everybody is in a different focus.”

The event is completely free to anyone who wishes to attend, and everyone is welcome to attend either or both lectures.

Larry Robinson and his 8-year-old nephew Brett Zanidean spent last Thurs-day Nov. 15 at the Strathmore Library setting up a historical display for the residence of Strathmore to enjoy. The Titanic has always been a passion of Larry’s, and he is happy to pass on his interest and knowledge to his enthusiastic nephew.

Cardboard Boat Races: sounds like a fun day off of school. Sounds like something that little kids do in the spring when the puddles are full and the streams are running wild. One can picture little paper boats with sails made of plastic bags and elastics hold-ing it all together. This scenario is not that far off the mark.

Armed with cardboard, duct tape and a few other odds and ends, junior and senior high school students from across the province used their skill and ingenuity to transform these materials into a vessel for the water. Not only does their “boat” need to be quick, but it must be “sea worthy” capable of car-rying passengers as well.

Around 45 teams made their way to the SAIT (Southern Alberta institute of Technology), Leisure Centre in Calgary earlier this month. The event is spon-sored by Skills Canada encouraging kids in the profession of trades and technology and is also sponsored by Cenovus.

The objective of the day was to de-sign and construct a boat with only the supplied materials in one and a

half hours or less. Each team was giv-en the same amount of materials. The boats had to be sturdy enough to float, go fast and carry lots of weight. Teach-ers bringing the students were not al-lowed to participate or coach in any way, shape or form during the event.

For many of the students the event provided them with hands on expe-rience for core subjects they are cur-rently taking.

“The challenge is open ended, prob-lem solving in nature, paralleling the thrust of broad-based curriculum. It involves: design, research & presenta-tion, principles of structure, strength, rigidity, water permeability, propul-sion, friction and direction control, buoyancy and displacement, adhesives and bonding, teamwork and FUN,” ac-cording to skillsalberta.com.

After the completion of the boat construction the students make their way to the pool where the “real” fun begins.

Each team of four must put their boats in the water and one person must race against another team to the finish line in a timed event. Of course some of the boats sink immediately to the bottom of the pool and are dis-qualified from the weight test. Those

The safety of cutting boards in your kitch-en was tested 20 years ago in the U.S. They compared wooden to plastic boards and found that the wooden ones had less bacteria in them than the plastic ones. Plastic boards were dish-washer-safe but the temperature of the water in dishwashers wasn’t high enough to disinfect the boards. Glass and metal boards disinfect easily but also dull knives quicker.The “morning-after pill” is 89% effective if

Great gifts that won’t break the bank

Giving is synonymous with the holi-day season. But in a holiday season where people are still dealing with a sagging and unpredictable economy, giving in a way that won’t break the bank is imperative for many thoughtful holiday shoppers.

In response to the economy, many families have set limits on how much family members can spend on holiday gifts. Such budgets are a great idea and can even make holiday shopping more fun as shoppers hunt down the perfect gift without having to worry about how they’re going to pay for it. Low-cost holiday gifts come in many shapes and sizes, and the following are a few ideas to help you get started.

Food & BeverageIf you need to find an inexpensive

gift for the family foodie, then you’re in luck. Plenty of culinary gifts can be had for less than $25. Early risers might ap-preciate some gourmet coffee beans ac-companied by a new coffee mug, while those who prefer tea instead of coffee would no doubt appreciate a variety pack of herbal teas and a new teacup or teapot.

Men and women who embrace meal-time as an opportunity to experience various styles of cuisine would likely love a cookbook filled with recipes from all over the world or a particular country whose cuisine inspires them.

PhotographyThe dawn of the digital age has made

photography more popular than ever before. Amateur photographers can now take photos with a digital camera or even their cellular phones and post their pictures to the Internet in a mat-ter of seconds. Though online photo albums are popular, a traditional photo album is a thoughtful and inexpen-sive gift for a loved one who can’t take enough pictures. New parents might also consider giving their youngster’s grandparents a photo album filled with photos of the family’s newest addition.

Film FansMovie buffs are passionate about

their favorite films, and feeding that passion can be easy and inexpensive. Many film fans have a favorite director or actor, so why not gift a collection of that director or actor’s work? Per-haps thanks to the growing popularity of streaming movies online, DVDs are now more affordable than ever.

Many film fanatics are also interested in the history of the film industry, so a book detailing that history might ap-peal to your loved ones.

Of course, all film fans generally ap-preciate a gift certificate to their local theatre.

Pet ParentsPet parents are enamored with their

furry friends, so a pet-oriented gift is sure to make their holiday season even more special. A new bowl, a flashy new collar or some additional attire aimed at helping their beloved pooch or cat stay warm through the winter months won’t cost much, but it’s certainly something most pet owners and their pets need.

For the pet parent who seemingly has everything, remember that pets can never have enough toys. Pets tend to play rough, so their toys aren’t known for their longevity. Some new pet toys can be had on the cheap, and pet par-ents will appreciate the gesture.

Rest & RelaxationArguably one of the best holiday

gifts is one that won’t cost shoppers a penny. Offer to babysit a loved one’s kids so the adults can enjoy a worry-free night on the town or simply relax at home without the kids.

Another R&R gift is to book a spa trip for you and a loved one. While this won’t necessarily qualify as an inex-pensive holiday gift, you can often get great deals on spa treatments and other luxurious services when you book for two. And booking such a trip is also a way to reward yourself for surviving another holiday season.

Making a list when holiday shopping can help you avoid spending more than your budget allows. Rather than be caught off guard, carefully make your shopping list and include every-one you intend to gift. Purchase one or two extra generic gifts just in case something comes up. It is much easier to afford holiday giving when you can

divide your budget by the number of gift recipients rather than having to add on gifts after the fact. Also, in the event you are left with extra gifts that were unnecessary, you can return them after the holidays and use the money to treat yourself to something nice or donate the gift or the returned funds to some-one in need.

Did You Know?

Joanna Howard PR Director 903 Squadron

The squadron was formed 13 years ago with Capt Leo Lammes as Com-manding Officer, and I believe about 20 cadets. The cadet program is for young people between the ages of 12-19 year olds with parades once per week on a designated evening. There are also activities on some weekends such as survival training, gliding, citi-zenship tours, sports or band com-petitions to name a few. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets are run in part-nership with the Department of Na-tional Defence (DND) and the Air Ca-det League. DND takes care of the officers and training of the cadets, and the League supports the squadron by raising funds for their facility, option-al training not paid for by DND. Al-though there is NO registration fee for cadets, we ask that parents/guardians try to volunteer some time to help with fundraising or to assist the Spon-soring Committee as their time and/

or talents allow. Cadets are encour-aged to become active, responsible members of their communities. They learn valuable life and work skills like teamwork, leadership, and citi-zenship. They also reap the personal benefits of increased self-confidence, and physical fitness, learning how to take initiative and how to make deci-sions. They make valuable contribu-tions to Canadian Society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citi-zenship and community activities.

The website is www.903aircadets.ca, the Air Cadet League website is www.aircadetleague.ab.ca and for pic-tures of all cadet activities try www.prairiecadets.smugmug.ca.

903 have 82 cadets enrolled and we average 60-70 weekly on parade. We are sincerely grateful to the Strath-more Ag Society for the use of the Quonset for weekly parades, and we are very proud of our Headquarters building, which was built by members of past sponsoring committees and some officer staff.


Air Cadet long service medal presentations

The 903 Strathmore Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets presented four of its cadets with Long Service medals on Nov. 14. The purpose of the medals is to recognize cadets who have completed four years of service and, in part, to inspire them to stay with the RCAC for a longer period of time. in this ceremony, medals were presented to Joanna Wahl, Kelsey Howard, Royce Hawes and emily mc-Connell, all Flight Sergeants with the 903 squadron.

Government of Canada taking action to address local challenges

From the oFFice oF Kevin SorenSon

Kevin Sorenson, Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, is inviting local organizations to help find new initiatives to shape social policy in Can-ada.

Sorenson says, “our Conservative government will partner with organizations, businesses, and not-for-profit organizations to build further mo-mentum around social innovation and social fi-nance tools to address challenges faced by many communities in Canada, and right here in our riding. We are trying to broaden horizons and think outside the box to leverage new avenues for solutions.

“This is a Human Resources and Skills De-velopment initiative as announced in Economic Action Plan 2012. We want to explore social fi-nance, with the goal of eventually testing new methods of addressing existing social and eco-nomic challenges in communities across Canada. Social finance is about mobilizing private capital to achieve social goals, creating opportunities for investors to finance projects that benefit Cana-dians and realize financial gains,” he continues.

Organizations are invited to submit innovative ideas to help shape future social policy in Can-ada. Ideas will be accepted until Dec. 31. Those interested in participating should visit: hrsdc.gc.ca/socialfinance.

The Government of Canada announces the creation of the Memorial Ribbonthe Government oF canadaOn Behalf of the Strathmore Legion

The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of Na-tional Defence, along with the Honourable Ste-ven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs Canada, announced last week the creation of the Memo-rial Ribbon. The Memorial Ribbon will be offered to close family and friends of deceased Canadian Forces (CF) members as a memento of personal loss and sacrifice.

“Our Government has enormous respect for the men and women who have made sacrifices in ser-vice of their country. The introduction of the Me-morial Ribbon reflects our Government’s desire to provide a small token of remembrance to those close to our military members who passed away while in service of Canada,” said Minister MacKay. “The Government of Canada is determined to do everything it can to support Canada’s heroes and their families. With the new Memorial Ribbon, our Government’s ensuring that those who are not usually designated as potential recipients of the Memorial Cross will be able to honour their loved ones by wearing this Ribbon with pride.”

Memorial Ribbons may be issued in commemo-ration of every CF member whose death is at-

tributed to injury or illness sustained on or after Oct. 1, 1947, due to military service. This date coincides with the first date inscribed in Veterans Affairs Canada’s Seventh Book of Remembrance.

“The Memorial Ribbon is a profound demon-stration of our care and concern for Canada’s military families - not just the men and women who bravely serve our country, but their fami-lies and other loved ones who have sacrificed so much for us,” said Minister Blaney. “This is a fitting complement to the Memorial Cross. It reflects how deeply loved and dearly missed our fallen heroes are.”

The Memorial Ribbon will now be part of the Memorial Package, which currently includes the Memorial Cross, the Memorial Scroll, the Memo-rial Bar, the Sacrifice Medal, and inscription in the Seventh Book of Remembrance. For those eli-gible recipients whose beneficiaries have previ-ously received the Memorial Package without the Memorial Ribbon, the ribbons will be sent sepa-rately to the executor of the estate upon written request.

The Department of National Defence’s Direc-torate of Honours and Recognition is the office responsible for the administration of the Memo-rial Ribbon, which will be available in early 2013.

Pat FuleFule for Thought

Oh Curling, how I wish I understood you! I mean I understand the basics of you and your strategies … but I don’t “get” you, or why people like you! I mean, we live in a place that can have harsh, cold winters. We all seem to long for escapes to warmer, tropical weather in winter.

Yet many of us warm up the vehicles, scrape the windshields, and rumble off to the curling rink, only to spend over two hours IN cold, ON ice and sweep-ing a granite rock! I’ve tried to like curling, I really have. I even curled in the Mixed League for a while with Deb. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that it’s a sport and takes skill, but so does Shuffleboard, Hopskotch, and Horseshoes!

Curling in the Mixed League also taught me that my attention span in curling is limited. I feel like the dog in the Pixar movie “Up” where he’s distracted by anything … “Squirrel”! (only funny if you’ve seen the movie!).

Deb’s tried to make me feel better about the sport. She’s described me as a “great little sweeper”… which means I played a LOT of “Lead.”

Oh, and “they” always tell you, “you know the lead’s the most important position, because you set up the end.”

All I know, is that I throw my two rocks, sweep my a*# off, and the rock, or rocks, are gone … tak-en out … dead! Then I spend the rest of the end sweeping others’ rocks, which is WAY too much like a yard chore on ice. It’s like someone long ago, said “hey, I’ve got a GREAT idea for a sport. It’s the cold-est winter on record, let’s go on a frozen river with some really heavy rocks. I’ll push them so they slide … YOU sweep them!”

Now, the other guy probably said that wasn’t fair, and they decided to take turns sweeping … sounds like a GREAT sport.

I got to watch Deb in the Canmore bonspiel this last weekend. She always curls with her dad and its become their tradition. It’s also become mine, as I have WATCHED these curling marathons for over 25 years! What drives me crazy, is that DURING the

games, the Curling Club also has curling coverage or games on their flatscreen TVs!

To me, that’s like being in a dentist’s chair, and he/she turns on the TV JUST so you can watch a Root Canal being done onscreen! There’s no es-cape for me! One lady even said she’d like it, if you could watch replays of certain shots in these LO-CAL games! Hmmmmm, now THAT sounds great … DOUBLE the boredom! Similar to this, I do live in fear of watching Deb curl, for one reason. At some point after the game, she’ll ask me something like, “did you see my shot in the fifth end?”

Fifth end … I can’t remember YESTERDAY, let alone one shot in ONE end! I have tried to fake it and go along with the discussion, but usually she figures out that I have no clue about whatever shot it was, or how important it really was! I figure if I’m there … that’s pretty good … don’t expect too much from me!

At the Canmore Mixed ‘Spiel, I had the misfortune to see a sight I have never seen in Curling before. Two teams must have known each other, and one was curling while the other watched. At some point I was told that at the far end, the Skip “mooned” the people watching! Then he (apparently) lay down in the rings so his “full moon” was broadcast via the ceiling camera to all watching in the lounge! In retal-iation, or because of the drunken card game being played, one of the OTHER curling teams responded.

“Press ham, press ham,” his team chanted. Be-fore any of us knew what was happening, the guy dropped his pants enough to press his bare butt against the viewing glass! There was an uproar of laughter, but most of us sat there stunned. In all my years “watching” curling games, this was a first. I may never be the same again, I know the night-mares may come in the days ahead. They’ll probably be curling nightmares, but I DO dread the next full moon!

(“Fule for Thought” is a slice of life humourous column that appears in the Strathmore Times, writ-ten by long-time resident, town councillor, high school teacher, coach, husband and father of two – Pat Fule. If you would like to get in touch with Pat, you can send him an e-mail at [email protected])

To curl, or not to curl … that is the question!

Cosmetology for a CauseRynelle Wiebe Times Jr Reporter

The Strathmore High School Cosmetology class will be holding a fundraiser on Nov. 28-29 at Strathmore High School in order to raise mon-ey for a family in need this Christmas season.

This is the fifth year the class has held the fun-draiser and this year it is led by Tessa Dorosh and Courtney Davis.

“All the money that we raise, we spend that on a family for Christmas,” said Cheryl Davidson, a cosmetology teacher at Strathmore High School. “Last year they raised a thousand [dollars] so this year their goal is fifteen hundred.”

Last year the money was used to “adopt” a fam-ily of eleven by purchasing gifts that would be delivered anonymously to the family, as well as supporting two women in need in the communi-ty. This year, the class will be supporting families through churches in Strathmore.

The fundraiser will include various salon ser-vices such as hair colouring and cuts, perms, manicures, pedicures, and facials. Babysitting will also be provided this year with fun activi-ties planned for the kids. To take part in this event, and book an appointment on Nov. 28 and 29 from 4-9 p.m. Call Strathmore High School at 403-934-3135 and ask for the Cosmetology de-partment.

Queen’s Jubilee Award for Rosebud founderSharon McLeay Times Contributor

LaVerne Erickson was among 30 re-cipients in the riding of Crowfoot to receive the Queen Elizabeth II Dia-mond Jubilee Medal at a ceremony in Stettler last week.

The medal commemorates the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada.

Erickson said that he always had an interest in the Royal family. He re-members seeing pictures of the Roy-al family on the wall of his Grade 1 homestead school and he remembers the announcement that the King died. He often wondered at the challeng-es the members of the Royal family would face. He admires the actions of the Queen as a ruler.

“I have always felt an affinity for the Queen, because she is head of state and head of church, has through all sorts of personal family struggles, and struggles across the Commonwealth remained steadfast to her ideals. That is quite uncommon in our society. People tend to give up or collapse un-der the pressure,” said Erickson.

The medal was meant as a tangible way to honour significant contribu-tions and achievements made by Ca-nadians such as LaVerne Erickson.

“I don’t feel that I have received this medal so that LaVerne Erikson would be made significant. It comes because we together have an obligation to build our lives and our communities,” said Erickson.

When Erickson received the medal at the award ceremony, Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson mentioned that Erickson has always been an idea person.

Erickson’s many great ideas have become area institutions. He founded the Rosebud School of the Arts, Rose-bud Theatre, the Chemainis Theatre in B.C., the Canadian Badlands Passion Play and Canadian Badlands Ltd. He was one of 100 people to receive the Calgary Stampede’s Western Legacy Award, for his impact in promoting the values of Alberta’s western hos-pitality, commitment to community, pride of place and integrity. Erickson was a past recipient of the Alto Am-bassador Award for his outstanding contributions to Alberta’s tourism in-dustry.

“I founded so many things. We have to have kind hearts but our fortitude has to be strong as steel. We have to carry on no matter what outsiders see. We can feel stressed and carrying the world on our shoulders, but we don’t want to show that to others. We don’t want others to become discouraged, but we want them to rise to the chal-lenge. The Queen has done that ad-mirably. Each of us in the Common-wealth has to do our part to make it a great Commonwealth,” said Erickson.

He has his own ideas about leader-ship.

“Once things get going, I believe I have to give projects over to other people. I have always felt, if it is truly blessed of God, others will take it to heart and it will move many people. If it was just LaVerne’s idea, it will die with LaVerne. If it was meant to be, it will become meaningful to other people and they will lend their lives to be part of it.’

His mentorship and leadership style is respected by many.

“LaVerne Erickson’s service to Can-ada, Alberta, The Canadian Badlands region and the Hamlet of Rosebud is legendary,” explains Adam Furfaro,

Executive Director, Rosebud Centre of the Arts (RCA) “At RCA, we are so ex-cited that he has been recognized by the Queen, via the Governor-General and Kevin Sorenson, MP Crowfoot. La-Verne is a true visionary and we are proud that he, as our founder, is still actively involved here at RCA as an advisor and mentor. His ‘servant heart’ is a constant motivator and reminder to this organization, our staff, our stu-dents and to me personally.”

By extension, Erickson’s legacy con-tinues in these organizations. Rose-bud Theatre has gained an interna-tional reputation. It received multiple awards such as Travel Alberta-Alberta Pride Award, ALTO Award, and Rural Tourism Champion, and Alberta Ven-ture magazine named it among the Top 25 Most Innovative Organizations in Alberta.

Erikson says that his next big proj-ect in retirement is establishing rela-tionships between rural and urban or-ganizations and garnering support for rural resources. He would like to see Rosebud stay an intentionally open community and build partnerships so it is strong enough to forge ties with the city. He wants people to feel wel-come and comfortable until Rosebud becomes a home for their hearts.

“We are facing the biggest challenge we have ever faced because our rural resources have about bottomed out. So few farms and so little rural sup-port. The government has never taken a serious look at rural sustainability. If we lived in Calgary, the municipal government would be providing a majority of funds,” said Erickson. “Ca-nadian Badlands Ltd. is now Canada’s largest municipal tourist corporation.

It is a rural corporation. I can speak as a founder of that, coming from a base of strength that is significant; it is not one lone voice. I can speak on behalf of all of us in rural Alberta and Cana-da that are facing common struggles”

As to whether Erickson ever consid-ered politics to further his visions, he responded no.

“I have never felt it in my heart that it was a direction my life would go. I would be more like a John the Baptist; thinking if he stood out in the wilder-ness, his voice would be heard. Other-wise, it would be overwhelmed by the weight of politics.

He remembers an unidentified quote that went ‘I would trade all the politics in this nation for the songs of the people’.

“That’s been kind of a guiding prin-cipal in my life,” said Erickson.

LaVerne erickson was among 30 recipients in the riding of Crowfoot to receive the Queen elizabeth ii Diamond Jubilee medal at a ceremony in Stet-tler last week. erickson has made major contribu-tions to the Southern Alberta community.

This past summer one of Strathmore’s own emergency nurses was killed in a tragic hit and run in Irricana. Raelene Schmaltz, 51, is remembered as being an incredible nurse who had been a real asset to both the hospital and its patients.

“That was a terrible day,” said Dar-lene Pelletier, Schmaltz’s co-worker at the Strathmore hospital.

“This is a family and it’s like we have lost one of our members.”

Schmaltz’s death rocked everyone who knew her, leaving many of them wondering at the senselessness of the accident.

As a way to help Schmaltz’s memory live on, her co-workers in emergency are hosting a one-day fundraising blitz for STARS air ambulance.

“People from the community are wel-come to either contribute to the silent auction or come and buy something in

the silent auction. Most of the dona-tions will come from staff in the emer-gency department - she was one of us. This is something we as her colleagues wish to do in memory of her,” said Pel-letier.

“This is something that she would have appreciated, she was very sup-portive of the STARS organization, ap-preciated the help that they lend us when we need it.”

The main thing Pelletier wants is for people to acknowledge the contri-bution Schmaltz made to the hospital and commemorate that by donating to something that meant a lot to her.

“She was an incredible nurse, we were very, very fortunate to have her skills here,” said Pelletier.

The one-day silent auction blitz will be held on Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. STARS will be setting up, and like-ly selling some of their calendars. Pelle-tier hopes the auction is successful and would like to see it carry on into the future in Raelene Schmaltz’s memory.

D.A.R.E. graduation at Chief Old Sun SchoolLinda Jensen Times Contributor

The D.A.R.E. acronym stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It is a part-nership program between parents, the R.C.M.P., and Alberta Schools. D.A.R.E. brings awareness to Grade 5 & 6 stu-dents regarding the risks of bullying, drugs, alcohol, and marijuana. Students are encouraged to be positive and re-spectful during lessons directed by local R.C.M.P.

On Wednesday, Nov. 14, about 100 students graduated from the D.A.R.E. program. These students were from the Grade 5 & 5 classes at Chief Old Sun School and Crowfoot School, which are administrated by the Siksika Board of Education. Graduation eligibility in-cluded the completion of several things: attendance, classroom sessions plus a workbook and an essay or poster. The essay was entitled: “Why It Is Important To Me To Be Drug or Alcohol Free.”

In the program, students learned that some of the health risks to taking drugs and alcohol include organ damage, can-cer, brain damage, coma and/or death. Students discussed “cool things to do” rather than take drugs or alcohol. The list was long. Activities included kick-ball, hockey, drawing, reading, playing outside, being with friends, or listening to music. There were many others.

Since October the capable program

facilitator, Constable Heather Logan, has gained a lot of respect from students. Some said they even went to her place for Halloween and didn’t even play any tricks! On their own initiative, the Grade 6A students even made a birthday/thank you card for Constable Logan.

They had this to say about her: “She’s cool.” “She’s fun and nice.” “She teaches a good class.”

It is so great to see children respond-ing positively to local authorities.

The D.A.R.E. graduation celebration took place in the school gym, with el-ders, parents, drummers, students, school staff, and the local mounties in red serge. Chief Old Sun and Crowfoot School’s elected Chief and Council car-ried in the flags along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Siksika Nation Chief, Fred Rabbit Carrier. The Council recited the Atsimoihkan, A Prayer.

After a moment of silence for the loss of an elder and two constables, school principal Wanda Calf Robe, told the au-dience that she considers Constable Lo-gan “family. [Logan] attended Chief Old Sun’s June BBQ, lobbied for Coats for Children and took on [D.A.R.E., which was a] big task.”

After students were awarded their certificates, they shared drumming and a round dance, and then a festive pizza lunch with juice, graduation cake, and pictures with their favorite constable.

Strathmore High School drama students have been busy rehearsing for their upcoming produc-tion, The Clock Struck 12 which opens this Satur-day, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m.

Whodunit mystery to grace Strathmore High stageWendi TashlikoWch Times Contributor

‘The Clock Struck Twelve’ written by James Reach, is coming to the stage at Strathmore High School, playing nightly at 7 p.m. from November 24 – 27. The tickets can be purchased ahead of time at the school office or at the door for $10. Proceeds from the production are put directly back into the department to pay for the costs of producing. The main stage event is being put on by the Drama 20/30 and Musical Theatre 35A classes. Paula Richardson has been teaching at Strathmore High School since 2001 and is very proud of the in-tensity and dedication her drama stu-dents are putting into this production.

She has a total of 14 students in her Grade 11 and 12 drama classes, and they are all either on stage, or behind the scenes. Drama is an elective course for students at the high school; if they choose to take Musical Theatre 35A as a follow up class they can use these credits towards their University appli-cations. The students had to audition for their parts earlier on in the semester. It has been a wonderful experience for Richardson to watch the students grow/learn and take great risks. There are two students who are double-casted for roles. The cast enjoyed picking out and designing their own costumes. It helped them to be more involved in the

development of their characters. “From beginning to the end it was

amazing to watch the students meld to-gether and take on leadership roles to get them to their goal,” explains Rich-ardson.

This is Richardson’s second and third time teaching some of these students. She was lucky enough to produce and work with some of them in Daddy’s Dyin’: Who’s Got the Will?, last year’s main stage show.

“This year’s production is sure to keep you guessing,” said Richardson. The play is a Mystery Farce/ Whodunit genre. “There are lots of fun and crazy characters to keep you interested.”

The Clock Struck Twelve begins on June 25 when the three travelling Star Sisters are stranded in a storm. They seek shelter in the Thomas Mansion, and unfortunately arrive on the eve of a murder that happened there two years ago. Supposedly an innocent man has gone to jail.

Thanks go out to J. Richardson who was instrumental in set design, as well to the Strathmore Theatre Players who donated flats (walls) and their time to set them up.

Dancers with the Alberta Dance The-atre have been busy preparing for their upcoming production, ‘Frightmare be-fore Christmas.’

For the third consecutive year Strath-more dancer Neve Raycroft has success-fully auditioned for a part in the annual winter show. She will be dancing as a spider, a trick or treater and Mac. The spider is her favourite role.

“It’s kind of (because) you get to get lost in your character as being an ani-mal that’s creepy and weird,” said Ray-croft.

For the past few years Raycroft’s classmates have watched her perform. This year her Grade 5 class will be tak-ing in a special showing of the perfor-mance on Nov. 29.

“I’m really actually quite touched that she gets so much support. She puts her heart and soul into this and it’s a huge time commitment. She’s 10 and she’s missing out on birthday parties and things like that, so then for them to turn around and support her like that… words can not express how much it means to us to get that support,” said Marnie Raycroft, Neve’s mom.

“They say they really like the produc-tion and they say the costume and the props are really cool. A couple of them say since it’s handmade that it’s really amazing,” said Neve.

Dancing in front of people you know can be a little tougher than perform-ing in from of a room full of strangers. Neve said it doesn’t really faze her.

“It’s definitely a little bit nerve-wrack-ing backstage but it’s more exciting

Frightmare before Christmas

than nervous but then once you get on stage and do it then its just all excite-ment and go, go, go,” said Neve.

Alberta Dance Theatre is non-profit and so the parents fill different com-mittees and try to make as many of the props and costumes as they can instead of buying them. It can be a big added commitment to an already stressed filled parent, but they make it work.

“I think you just make it work be-cause she has such a passion for it and she loves it so much and I think it’s such an amazing opportunity for her you make it work for her, just as I would any of my children,” said Mar-nie.

The production will run from Nov. 30 until Dec. 2 at the University of Cal-gary. Tickets are $25 for the Nov. 30 7 p.m. show with includes and opening night after show reception. It is $20 for the other three shows, which are Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Dec. 2 at 1 p.m.

Neve Raycroft, dressed in her spider costume in the bottom right of the picture, is looking for-ward to the opening of the Alberta Dance The-atre’s ‘Frightmare before Christmas.’

Christmas can be a tough time of year if money is tight. You want to take part in the festivities and purchase gifts and a turkey and all the fixings, but to do so may mean not pay-ing a bill, or living off Kraft Dinner for a few weeks.

The Quality Canine Center is hoping to spread some holi-day cheer this year by helping out a family in need.

“We are asking people to nominate a family in the area that could use some Christmas cheer. We will be accepting nomi-nations until Dec. 1. After nominations close we will choose the winner and begin shopping for them,” said Melissa David who co-owns the Quality Canine Center.

“On Dec. 24 we will deliver some Christmas cheer to their doorstep including gifts and all the fixings to make a Christ-mas dinner.”

Hope Bridges is a non-profit organization in Strathmore and Wheatland County. It uses the universal language of the arts to build connections between all adults of all abilities and focuses on moving away from segregation and isolation. Hope Bridges has a goal of enriching the community experience by hosting diverse and interesting art activities and performances. This past September, Hope Bridges launched its first season of regular programming - weekly and monthly art workshops. In preparation for this programming, they opened an office space at the Leary Centre across from Kinsmen Park (104 3rd Avenue Strathmore) and added Coordinator, Wanda Reinholdt, to their team to assist them to build relationships and enrich their presence in community. On Nov. 15, to raise support for future workshop supplies as well as office rent and utilities, Hope Bridges held a fundraiser concert and dessert bar at Hope Community Covenant Church featuring the Rosebud River Valley Boys, a popular and engaging musical group. Everyone involved with Hope Bridges Society was pleased to have hosted this talented ensemble. The event was a success and Hope Bridges is grateful for the continued support of the community and Friends. For more information about Hope Bridges, contact their Coordinator, Wanda, at [email protected], call 403 983 3640 or visit their newly updated website www.hopebridges.ca

WANT TO MAKE MONEY TO BANK?CHINOOK ADVANTAGE #17:

MEMBERS SHARE IN THE PROFITS.We’re excited to announce our 2012 dividend payment of 2.5% which will be paid on November 30, 2012. We’re also pleased to announce that our 2012 Participatory Savings will pay 1.30% (uninsured) and 0.33% (insured).

When David and her family were discussing the upcoming holiday sea-son they all agreed they did not feel the need to exchange gifts. David said she had also been thinking about the amazing support she has had from the community over the past year with the expansion and new location.

“I thought this is a great way to tie the two together. I spoke to the staff and everyone was really excited to help out and be apart of this,” said David.

“There are people and families out there who are unable to enjoy this time of year. It is especially heartbreaking when there are children who have to go without. We want to help as much as possible.

“If we can help one family celebrate the season, who normally would not be able to, that is a gift enough for us. We intend on providing something for the whole family including any pets.”

David said she has received dona-tions from her parents and brother’s family who are foregoing personal gifts to donate to this project. She said she welcomes any person or business that would be interested in partnering with the canine center or donating to the family.

“I know it will be difficult choosing a winner, but in the end I think we are looking for the nomination of the fam-ily that has stayed strong through their hardships and who really, truly de-serves a little good fortune,” said David.

Nominations should include why your chosen family deserves to win, and can be sent to [email protected] or can be dropped off at the Quality Canine Center (207, 5 Bayside Place, Strathmore) by Dec. 1. Please include your contact infor-mation because if your nomination is chosen the Quality Canine Center will need to get in touch to find out some details on the family such as children’s ages and hobbies.


It’s not every day a film crew sets up shop in Strathmore, but that’s exactly what happened on Nov. 2. Stephen Lubig, a Strathmore resident, was at Leroy’s Motor Inn filming a scene from his fea-ture film, ‘After the Storm.’ Lubig is an indepen-dent filmmaker, and is the producer, writer and director of the project. He lives in Strathmore with his wife and their young son.

“I really wanted to put a piece of Strathmore in the film because I live here and it’s my commu-nity,” said Lubig.

One of the scenes was written in a motel and he said Leroy’s has such character he wanted to portray that on the screen.

“The film centers on our hero named Hudson, he is heavily influenced by his good friend Tristan, and it’s not a very healthy relationship. Tristan in-fluences Hudson to go down kind of a negative path in life,” said Lubig.

“Conflict arises when Hudson meets a young girl named Clair who influences him to go down the opposite path in life, a much better path. We begin to see a lot of conflict within Hudson him-self in which path to choose, and also conflict be-tween Hudson and Tristan and Hudson and Clair.”

Keeping things local and focusing on what this region has to offer is important to Lubig.

“All of the big productions that come into Cal-gary, they always bring their lead actors from Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver and Toronto. So all of the acting community within and around Cal-gary they end up with smaller roles because all of the larger roles are filled from outside talent,” said Lubig.

“What I wanted to do with this project is fea-ture 100 per cent local talent, so everyone who’s

After the storm

in this film is from Calgary and the surrounding areas. There’s such rich talent and I really wanted to make it a point to showcase local talent and not to bring in talent from outside the region.”

This is his first feature film but he has direct-ed music videos, one of which, the ‘Do the Right Thing’ video for the Calgary Indie band The Dudes won best music video of the year from the Alberta Motion Picture Association.

“The nucleus of the idea spawned from my de-sire to create a film that was reminiscent of the family value films from the late ‘80s and the ‘90s. There’s really not the same type of film around and a small portion of this film has a Christian faith-based element to it,” said Lubig.

“I wanted to make the story relatable to today’s audiences, to today’s youth, young adults and par-ents. This was the type of film I wanted to create and then how the actual story came about was totally due to the actual creative process.

“Since I was a young kid I have always been interested in film particularly in telling stories. Ev-ery second I had I tried to put something on film and make a story out of it.”

Canadian Country music star George Canyon will be scoring the music to the film. More infor-mation and updates can be found at www.after-thestorm-movie.com.

Lord of All Lutheran Church in Strathmore was packed for its service on Sunday morning as members, family and friends gathered to celebrate a new beginning in their ministry.

After a year of prayer, Bible studies, devotions and numer-ous meetings, the congregation voted in June of 2012, and decided to become a part of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC) headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio. The process began a year previous in July 2011 and was guided by Pastor Dawn Nelson and the congregational council. The direction and decision was prompted by a number of factors for the local congregation.

Pastor Dawn Nelson said, “as we watched the direction the ELCIC (Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada) was taking, the congregation felt drawn to seek out a church body that was more closely aligned with their understanding of tradi-tion, ministry, and faith. After much consideration, the NALC appeared to be a closer match and home for us.”

The North American Lutheran Church has embraced four core values, which shape their common life: Christ Centered, Mission Driven, Traditionally Grounded and Congregationally Focused. Pastor Nelson incorporated the four values in her homily on Sunday morning focusing on being “connected to the source [God]” if ministry was going to grow, flourish and succeed.

When asked what changed for Lord of All in leaving the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and joining the NALC

Nelson replied, “As we view it, by taking this step, we don’t anticipate a great deal of change in who we are. It was a

Lord of All Lutheran Church celebrates a new beginning

change made to allow us to remain who we have always been and to hold to the values and understanding of what God calls his people to be.”

It was clearly a decision of the congregation after study and serious consideration of all the factors and what would best suit their needs to be a church in mission in their community.

The celebration ended with a gathering of the congrega-tion for a group picture to commemorate their first service as a member of the NALC and coffee and cake was served as Council Chair Doug Thurn thanked all those involved in help-ing the move become a reality.

For more information about the NALC go to thenalc.org. Lord of All Lutheran Church holds their Sunday worship ser-vices at 10:30 a.m. and all are welcome.

The Mission field can be found in our backyard as well as overseas. The call to missions is a great need around the world globally and when “called” you can’t help but answer, “I will go”.

Theo Timmer, owner of Curbrelan Homes, went to the Ukraine with a team of eight men from Centre Street Church in Calgary for 15 days this past August. This was not Timmer’s first trip but in-stead was his sixth “call” to help those in need in the Ukraine.

“People have asked me why I do this volunteer work, I have done about 20 of these trips now over the last 15 years. In Canada we have a social service net-work. In the Ukraine, it is the Church that is their social network,” said Tim-mer.

“The local government does not worry about the lower class of people, unless you pay a bribe. If you are lucky to work you might make maybe between $100 to $200 a month in the city. In the coun-

try you are lucky if you can make half of that, so you cannot afford to pay a bribe. Many barely have enough money to live on.

“For some of these people it is just part of daily life in the Ukraine. So I think if you are healthy and have the means to do this kind of work and care about people, I think you should do this stuff. It also reminds me how good we have it here even while we complain.”

This past trip Timmer worked for 10 days in Lutsk on a church project that involved working with the handi-capped, homeless and youth as well as a rehab centre for men in the area. The missions group fixed up buildings in the area by making them handicap ac-cessible as well as fixing a gym that was being used by the children. The Church sits in between Old Russian apartment buildings and there is no green space for the kids to play on so the gym is well used.

Their next adventure took the group to the Carpathian Mountains where they did manual labour for some of the lo-

cals, including cutting firewood for a 90-year-old woman and stacking it for her use in the winter months.

Gas furnaces don’t exist there, one member of the team stated, “it looks like third world country here.”

The Missions group stayed at a local Kids Centre that was built with monies donated from Hart in Calgary [a non-profit organization that works in the Ukraine].

Sadly, the country crumbles down around those less fortunate without the means to move ahead in life. One couple, Timmer recalls, had a premature newborn that the hospital said to take home if they couldn’t afford the 300rh [equivalent to $40] and Medicare is sup-posed to be free. The operation Hart heard about the incident and commis-sioned Timmer’s group to go and help the couple fix their house.

When asked why Timmer [and others] do this kind of volunteer work he re-plied, “maybe it can cause us to think this upcoming Christmas season of those less fortunate in our own backyards.”

A handful of local players from Strathmore, Langdon and Wheatland County have fueled the Rockyview Raiders to an impressive 6-3-2 record to start the season.

The Chestermere-based team, which plays in the Alberta Minor Midget AAA Hockey League, is coached by area resident Doug Thurston, who is ex-cited with the team he has assembled.

“I’m very happy with the season so far,” said Thurston. “We’re sitting third in the league and we’re playing pretty solid. Our success has been our team play overall – we’re very hard to score against and we have two very, very good goaltenders, six solid D and then our (forward) lines are very conscien-tious playing in the defensive zone. We kind of score by committee and we’re pretty solid all the way through, so we don’t have too many weak spots. We’re pretty steady.”

The team, which consists of play-ers born in 1997, has numerous play-ers from the Strathmore, Langdon and

Wheatland County.According to Thurston, those players

play a huge part of the Raiders suc-cess.

“We have strong support from the Strathmore area and Langdon,” said a beaming Thurston. “Langdon has grown, so we’re getting more and more players from that area – they’re gonna need a rink pretty soon.

“We’ve been really happy with the (crop of local) players.”

Those players, mixed in with the rest of the roster, have formed a solid nucleus for the Raiders. According to Thurston, the team is very close and they play like ‘family.’

“The thing I find with the guys is their positive attitude,” said Thurston. “They’re willing to come and work hard … they listen to the coaches, they attempt to do what we ask of them on the ice and that’s all you can ask from any player.

“It is a real key to our success.”It was a busy weekend for the Raid-

ers, as they hosted the AMMHL 2012 Prospect Cup Nov. 15-18 in Chester-mere, with some games being played

With volleyball season wrapping up, both of the varsity basketball team coaches at Holy Cross Collegiate are getting ready for the upcoming season.

“I’m really excited (for the start of the season),” said varsity boys coach Michael Annicchiarico. “Basketball is a very popular sport at our school, and we have a wide array of interests.”

Tryouts for the all of the basketball teams at Holy Cross Collegiate started on Nov. 19, after the volleyball zones. For the varsity teams, the season also started this week, and it will run until the second week of March.

If the teams make provincials, then their season will be extended by an-other week.

Both Annicchiarico and varsity girls coach Angela MacLean are preparing for the season by examining what their needs are for their respective teams.

“This season, I will have a lot of new girls on my team because last year I had a lot of (Grade 12 students),” said MacLean. “So, I will have a lot of new faces this year.”

MacLean also added that due to the new faces on the team, she may try different plays, depending on what the strengths of her players are, includ-ing strengths that she may never have

seen before.“(For my team), it’s about getting

familiar with the drills that I’ve used from the past, and I need to keep and what I need to change,” added Annic-chiarico. “It will depend on who I de-cide to put on my team.”

Annicchiarico also has high expecta-tions for his team.

“We would like to make it to 2A pro-vincials, and that is what we are build-ing towards,” said Annicchiarico.

He also mentioned that since Holy Cross Collegiate is hosting 2A Zones, he would like his team to do well at that tournament.

MacLean, meanwhile, is looking to-wards the future for her team because of the departure of many players from last year’s roster.

“It’s going to be a new team, so it will be to see how we will work well together,” she said. “It’s about building the foundation for the future.”

MacLean added that she would also like to have her team qualify for the 2A Zones.

Holy Cross Collegiate is hosting a tournament next week, the Christ Re-deemer Tournament, which will be their first tournament of the year.

The home tournaments for Holy Cross Collegiate are Dec. 13-14 for the varsity boys, and Feb.1 - 2 for the var-sity girls.

Both of Strathmore’s public schools are getting ready for basketball season this week.Strathmore high School

Strathmore High School’s girls bas-ketball team held tryouts during the first couple of weeks of November, and their team held their first set of practices this past week.

According to girls head coach Dion Galandy, the tryouts went well, and the Spartans should once again have a decent team.

“I’m very excited. I feel that we will have 12 well-rounded players, and the skill level of all of our players are equal such that if we go to the bench, we will not miss anything.”

The girls team will be pretty young, and Galandy hopes to use this season as a building block towards the future.

“I hope that we are going to upset some teams that didn’t expect us to beat them,” he said.

He also said that Strathmore High School will be hosting provincials in March, which means that the team qualifies automatically. He hopes that the team gains some experience that they can use in the future.

Galandy also doesn’t expect to use any different plays or strategies this

year compared to last year.The season for Strathmore High

School’s girls team begins next Thurs-day, Nov. 29, with a tournament at SAIT. The first home game is on Dec. 5th, with Strathmore High’s home tournament being held on Dec.14 - 15.crowther memorial Junior high School

Meanwhile, Crowther Memorial Ju-nior High’s basketball teams were still holding tryouts this week due to a large turnout for the initial tryouts that were held during the week of Nov. 12. The tryouts this week were held for the purposes of paring down the ros-ters to 12 players each.

“I love basketball, and I look for-ward to the season starting every year because I love to coach,” said senior girls coach Scott Koller.

Expectations are high this season, especially for the senior girls team.

“We had a good year last year, so I’m hoping to repeat that success this year,” said Koller.

Koller also said that both he and se-nior boys coach Matt Laslo always ex-pect their teams to play the best they can, win or lose, and always strive to improve every game.

The seasons for both teams do not start until Jan. 11-12, when they com-pete in a tournament.

Strathmore High and Crowther Memorial basketball teams gearing up

at the Strathmore Family Centre.“They are all 15-year-old kids in this

tournament, so some of them will look to go to junior teams (next year),” said Thurston. “It’s an opportunity to get teams from the North Division, who we don’t play very often, to come down and play some of the South teams. It’s also an opportunity for the scouts to get a look at all the boys.

“We had some real good teams here

… it was a great turnout.”Despite not winning any of their

round robin games, the Raiders played solid throughout the weekend and are looking to make a push going into the second half of their season.

The Raiders will resume their AMMHL schedule on Nov. 23 when they host the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the Ches-termere Recreational Centre beginning at 7:15 p.m.

The Rockyview Raiders minor midget team has a large contingent of players from Strathmore, Lang-don and Wheatland County.

Season ends for JV girls Shannon LeCLairTimes Reporter

Strathmore High School (SHS) hosted the JV Girls Volleyball Zones Nov. 16 and 17. There were 10 teams who came out to compete for the title of zone champion.

“It was a pretty smooth tournament,” said Kyle Larson who coached the girls for the weekend.

“We lacked a little offense but I think our offense had come a long ways in the last month or so and the girls saw the benefits of that as far as being able to hit the ball a little better and a little more often. That was kind of the area we focused on was our passing and our offense and the girls did a much better job of that this weekend than say even three weeks ago.”

Larson said the girls won the matches they should have won and put up a good battle in the ones they lost. The girls ended the season 2-5-0.

“It was a good season I think it was definitely a growing season for the girls, they played a fair bit and they saw what the high school level is going to be like to some extent. It was a wonderful bunch of girls to work with for sure,” said Larson.

Jerry Flaws coached the girls through most of the season with Larson taking over for the zones weekend.

“It was a rebuilding year. We improved our school and volleyball knowledge. It was a dra-matic improvement. We were beating teams at the end of the season that we couldn’t earlier. With the possibility of eight returning players next year our future looks good,” said Flaws.

Weekend to forgetMario Prusina Times Editor

After losing three straight games, in-cluding a pair this past weekend, the Wheatland Kings are going back to the drawing board.

The local junior-B team suffered a 4-3 loss in High River on Nov. 16, be-fore returning home the next night, losing 8-4 to Okotoks.

It was a tough pill to swallow for the Kings, who were on a three game win-ning streak before the skid.

“I think that’s what we have to do – forget about (this past weekend),” said Murphy. “We’re learning that you can’t rely on the line of Lonnberg, Fox and Bergmann to carry the team. You need to get the secondary scoring going.

“We’re certainly learning that you can’t give up 50 shots a game and ex-pect good things to happen.”

Despite being one of most prolific scoring teams in the league, Murphy said defence has been a concern over the course of the first two months of the season, specifically during the los-ing streak.

The Kings were outshot in both games over the weekend, surrender-ing 88 shots against.

Wheatland started the weekend tak-ing a 2-0 lead over the Flyers early in

the second period, before surrender-ing the lead with just nine seconds left in the frame. The Kings re-gathered the lead with a power play marker in the third period, before High River capitalized on a pair of power plays.

According to Murphy, the officials played a major role in the game, giv-ing High River numerous 5-on-3 pow-er plays.

“It was without question the worst refereeing I’ve seen in my coaching career,” said Murphy. “It was horrible – they were totally unpredictable. Even the High River coaches had no expla-nation and a lot of apologies, even though they had nothing to do with what referees show up.”

As a result, the Kings faced a couple of suspensions and injuries heading into their home game versus Okotoks.

“Okotoks is a good team and we were competing with (injuries) and suspensions,” said Murphy. “We de-cided we’d run three lines and go at them and for the most part we did. They scored three goals (quickly) in the second period and we couldn’t re-cover from it.”

The Kings are now preparing to host the Airdrie Lightning on Nov. 24 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre, before traveling to Banff the following day (3 p.m.).

The Wheatland Kings losing streak extended to three games af-ter a pair of losses this past week-end, including an 8-4 defeat to Okotoks on Nov. 17 at the Strath-more Family Cen-tre.

Did You Know?A theory of how “Black Friday” got its’ name, was it came from the stock market crash in late 1929 which kicked off the Great Depression. In fact that event happened on a Tuesday and

not a Friday. The actual “Black Friday” stock market scare happened in 1869, it was in September and had to do with gold prices, so neither stock market crash had anything to

do with shopping or the Friday after the American Thanksgiving.

The Strathmore Black ice travelled to Lethbridge Nov. 16 to 18 for the first tournemant of the sea-son. The next home game for the girls is this Sat-urday, Nov. 24.

The Strathmore ice Crushers took home the Silver medal in the U12 division this past weekend in the annual Airdrie Ring of Fire Tournament. The girls played tough and gave it their all, being beat in the final match to the Red Deer Revenge. The ice Crushers have a very new team this year, a lot of first year players, but in the short time since the beginning of the season the girls had pulled together and are learning lots. it is going to be a great year for them.

The Strathmore Fire & ice U12B ringette team had an exciting, fun-filled three days in Lethbridge this passed weekend. After a hard-fought five games, the team brought home a silver metal. A huge thanks goes out to all of the coaches who volunteer their time week after week. Team members include; emily Bailie (back, l-r), Payton Jensen, Grace Olson, Grace Praeker, Hailey Kenney, Carly Krahnbil (front, l-r), Shelby Lane, mackenzie Duggan, makenzie Hansen, Aubrie Hunter, Brooklyn Reinhart, goalie mck-enna Blades. The coaching staff consists of head coach Randal Praeker (far back, r-l) and assistant coaches Kim Stanlake-Cammer and Rhonda Olson.

Mel Boschee Strathmore Black Ice

This weekend, Nov. 16-18, delivered the Strathmore Black Ice into the 5th week of their season. They have had a super successful year thus far being undefeated in the regular season. As the weekend arrived, the Black Ice trav-elled to Lethbridge for their first tour-nament of the season. The weekend brought out a lot of laughs, swimming, and some great Ringette for our Black Ice players and parents alike.

Friday seen the Black Ice take on the South Calgary Predators. In the dress-ing room there was excitement and anxiety as the girls prepared to step on the ice. The girls were passing and skating like pros, but the Predators met them every step of the way.

When the final buzzer sounded, the girls fell victim to a 6-4 loss and their first loss of the season. After a pep talk at the hotel and a waterslide to refocus the girls were ready for their game Sat-urday morning at 9:15 a.m.

Black Ice walked away from this game with a 14-5 win. There was a slight lag between games but the excitement was raging in the room prior to their third and final game in round robin play. The time was finally upon them and at 1 p.m. they stepped on the ice to take on

the undefeated Bow View Venom. The girls were passing, checking, and did everything they could to get the ring past the Venom goalie short of standing on their head. Jewlyn Foat, between the pipes for Black Ice, was keeping her team in the game keeping the ring out of the net as best she could. When the final buzzer sounded, the Venom were too much for the Black Ice. Black Ice were unable to put a ‘w’ in the column and were handed a devastating 8-4 loss. Although the Black Ice girls were very disappointed they knew there was one more game on Sunday. Sunday morn-ing came and the Black Ice was tak-ing on the Regina Ringers. At the end of the first period the Regina Ringers were only up by one point (5-4). When the second period began, the team was skating hard and passing lots, but just couldn’t keep the Ringers from getting past them and firing shots at our goal. There was nothing the team could do to stop the Ringer’s and again Black Ice went home with loss of 9-5.

The scores very seldom tell the true story of the game it really was. There was tremendous teamwork shown and a real team spirit amongst our Black Ice girls. Black Ice Goals were scored by Teia Dahm, Camryn Hinz, Alex Mackey, Ainsley Olson, Cayley Boschee, Day-len Wathen, Elizabeth Proust, Reagan

Mario Prusina Times Editor

Sparked by a six-game winning streak, the UFA Bisons have vaulted all the way to third place in the Chrysler (South) Di-vision of the AMHL.

After a disastrous October to start the season, the local triple-A midget team remains undefeated in the month of No-vember, including a pair of road wins in Edmonton this past weekend.

The Bisons defeated the Knights of Co-lumbus 3-2 on Nov. 17, before posting a 4-0 over the MLAC United Cycle Maple Leafs the following day.

“This weekend was fantastic,” said Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen. “We talked a lot about how we wanted to carry over some of our home success on the road. As you know, the road hasn’t been a place that has treated us too well so far this year, so it was important to

keep working on the things we (needed to improve on).”

The Bisons opened the weekend with a solid win over the Pats. After building a 3-0 lead, the herd held on to the one goal win.

“Our forecheck and our start on Satur-day in the first game in the first period was probably the best period of hockey we played all year,” said Friesen. “We got out to a 2-0 lead early on and it easily could have been, four, five, six nothing … their goaltender played outstanding and we just dominated them.

“We had all four lines going on the forecheck and cycling the puck down low, creating chaos and havoc in front of their net.”

Mark Nerland, Connor McCallum and Ryan Zeniuk each scored once to lead the way for the Bisons, while netminder Richard Palmer made 37 saves to pre-serve the win.

Meanwhile against the Leafs, the Bi-sons posted their first shutout of the sea-son.

“On Sunday we got Grayson Sharpe back in the net and he was outstanding for us,” said Friesen. “We started a little slow and he made a couple of big saves and that got the guys going … we had a 3-0 lead going into the third and this time we learned our lesson.

“It’s nice to get the first shutout of the year, for sure, especially on the road.”

Affiliate player Dalton Dubetz scored a goal and added an assist, while Bro-dy Valette and Mason McCarty added a pair of assists in the win. Sharpe made 38 saves while Mackenzie Bauer, Keifer Schaufler and Tristan Thompson each scored once.

The Bisons will now face the top team in the league on Nov. 23 (8 p.m.) when they host the Red Deer Chiefs at the Strathmore Family Centre.

THANK YOU I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our friends, family, co-workers, neighbours and the community of Strath-more for embracing our family and showing an unbelievable outpouring of love and support following the passing of Martin (Marty) Bouchard, husband, father, son-in-law, brother , uncle and respected community and RCMP member.

I will be forever grateful for the phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, beautiful flowers, delicious meals and snacks, cards, online condolences, visits, help with home and yard care, caregiving and concern for myself and my daughters, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association and con-tributions to our daughters’ educational trust fund established by the congregation of Hope Community Church.

I am overwhelmed by the support shown to our family.

Thank you to all who attended Martin’s Celebration of Life ser-vice on Friday, November 16th. Heartfelt thanks to all who showed such support and caring to me and my daughters. I would like to acknowledge and thank Francis Van Bussel of Wheatland Funeral Home for his comforting manner, care, knowledge, attention to detail and support during this difficult time. As well, my heartfelt thanks to Pastor Evan Dewald who was, and will continue to be an unwavering support and friend during this journey of healing. Evan spoke truthfully, kindly and from his heart, of his friend Marty. Thank you to both of you for all of your assistance, as well as your compassion for myself and my girls.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to Rob Klewchuk and Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown, both of Regina, Sas-katchewan, for their touching tributes at the service. Thank you to all who assisted with the service and reception. Your contributions did not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated.

To those who stood by Marty and I with your unwavering love, support, compassion and understanding, I cannot express my appreciation enough. If you also wish that we could have done more for Marty, I ask you to please join me in support of those who suffer with mental illness, to do what you can to help iden-tify, acknowledge, accept and improve mental health for all. My hope is that each of our efforts to eliminate the stigma of this disease will help to change the future for others.

Rest in peace Marty. You are loved.Krista, Julianna and Natalie Bouchard

Our memories build a special bridge when loved ones have to part.

To help us feel we’re with them still and sooth a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared, preserving ties that bind.

They build a special bridge of love and bring us peace of mind.

Love Dad, Mom and Chris

In Memoriam

Joshua G. Reiter May 7, 1991 - November 24, 2010

Bogusky, Jaidyn Eitzen. You’ve heard me say it before but our goal scorers wouldn’t be able to do what they do had it not been for the sacrifices and the play setter uppers of Hannah Arse-nault and Cosette Lacroix. Given all the goal scorers and play makers, this team would be nothing without the wall be-tween the pipes, Jewlyn Foat who put forward a gallant performance in all the games, keeping the girls not only hon-est but in the game. The whole team pulled together and it was some great Ringette. We are only 5 weeks into our season and it’s going to be an exciting year! Way to ROCK Black Ice!

Come out and watch their next home game Saturday at 3:15 p.m in Strath-more, taking on the Indus Lightning.

The Strathmore ice Breakers have been off to a great start since October. They have played twice against Cochrane with a loss and a win. They hosted Airdrie in their first home game and the girls played hard and won that one for their fans. This past weekend they traveled down to Lethbridge for a tournament. They played four games and although they finished the tournament 1-3 they played four excel-lent games. The girls are back on the ice to play indus on Nov. 30. Team members include Avery Aleman (front), Taya Sharply (second row, l-r), Jewel Hilton, makayla Grant, Laura Sader, Sophie Beekman (third row), Sydney White (back l-r), Jasmine Thiessen, Camille Gauvin, Olivia Wilson, Jenna Bishop and Sam Pritchard. The coaching staff includes Janique Lagace, Casey Grant and Ben Sader (missing from photo).

Bringing home a silver!

Great start!
