The Battle Of The BooksPrairie Waters Elementary and East Lake face off

By Michelle Young

Getting children to read can sometimes be a bit of a struggle. But turn it into a competition, and the pages start flying. On Monday June 13th Prairie Waters Elementary School

hosted the ‘Battle of the Books’, which had them in a head to head competition with East Lake School. The teams each consisted of students in grades three and five and it was close from the start.

The teams were made up of:

East Lake School: ‘The Nerdy JellyBeans’

Abbey Mane (Grade 3)Mackaylin Edeburn (Grade 5)Kate Darr (Grade 5)Mya Edeburn (Grade 3)Zanab Al Aaridhy (Grade 5)

Prairie Waters School: ‘The Take Flight Readers’

Alexis Parmar (Grade 5)Alexis Wartman (Grade 3)

Tiana Jacklin (Grade 3)Emma Wenzel (Grade 5)Emma Taha (Grade 3)Malak Al-Zergani (Grade 5)

Proud mom, Shannon Edeburn, explained the concept of the competition saying, “The Battle of the Books is where kids form teams of five and commit to reading a total of 15 books that have been chosen by a committee of teachers. After a given time period the teams battle in competition by answering trivia type questions to see who knows the books the best. In one of the rounds the students have to beat the other team to the buzzer to have the opportunity to answer the questions. Other rounds allow the team to discuss together the answer. Those who understand the books the best move on! As a mom of two of the girls and someone who also works at the school I have seen firsthand how dedicated these girls are to reading the books. I love this idea as it opened up the opportunity for my girls to read books they normally would not choose. One of the books featured in this bat-tle is Harry Potter- my girls would never have chosen this book and have now moved on to the next books in the series because they loved it so much!”These dedicated young readers took on a wide variety

of books and it was pretty clear in the competition that these young ladies knew their stuff. The books the com-petitors read were:

Books:Miss Daisy is CrazyThe School SkeletonVoyage to the VolcanoShadows of DisasterCharlie and the Chocolate FactoryAmuletWho is Wayne GretzkySmileHarry Potter: The Philosopher StoneThe RiverShooting KabulThe Million-Dollar GoalFlora & UlyssesI Survived the Japanese TsunamiAnne of Green Gables

After three intense rounds and the teams being neck and neck, the final score was 72-69 with East Lake School coming out on top.

A Story Of Miracles And HopeThe importance of being an organ donor

By Michelle Young

Imagine being diagnosed with a disease in which you are told that your only hope of survival is an organ trans-plant. That feeling of knowing there is nothing in your power that can be done and the conflicting feeling of knowing that someone else must die in order for you to live. This was the case for Kristy Thakeray, but her story would not only consist of a miracle for her, but the same miracle needed for someone very close to her.In 1996, fourteen year old Kristy Thakeray was diag-

nosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy, a rare condition of the heart where the muscle surrounding the heart becomes stiff and restricts the heart from expanding fully to let enough blood into it’s chambers. This young Medi-cine Hat girl now knew that her life would be forever changed and would live no ordinary teenage girl life.

Upon her diagnosis the long road for a heart transplant began. Not only was Kristy in the fight of her life, there was an added battle going on with the Provincial Govern-ment. “By the time I was diagnosed, restrictive cardio-myopathy was really really rare, it had been almost a year since I first got sick and back then the stats were 9 out of 10 kids would die within a year of diagnosis. We began the whole work up for transplant in Edmonton and I was put on the list in January 1996. Throughout that time, my parents were battling the Provincial Government to allow me to be double listed – in Alberta and in the US to increase my chances of getting a new heart. The issue was with being listed on an out of Province list is that if the service you need is available in your province, they wont pay for you to get the service somewhere else. So my parents were trying to fight the government to allow me to be on both lists. Back then, organs weren’t trans-

planted out of their centers and are not used in cross bor-der situations like they are today. So my parents fought and won the appeal to double list’, explained Thakeray. Around that same time, Thakeray was granted a wish

through the Children’s Wish Foundation. Her wish was to meet county music icon, Reba McIntyre. “We hopped on a plane on May 25th and arrive in Texas. We get out of the airport and just get into the rental car and the pager goes off. We had made arrangements with Edmon-ton before leaving to test the pager before we left and we weren’t sure if the pager was going off for a test or would even work – but the pager is beeping. My mom is driv-ing, I’m in the back seat, we’re in Texas and really have no idea where we are … and now the pager is going off. So we flipped a u-turn, find a pay phone at a Taco Bell and my mom gets out and calls Edmonton. My brother goes over to where my mom is on the phone and then

The gift of organ donation saved not one but two of the members of this family and they urge everyone to consider organ donation.(L to R - Shaylynn, Kristy, Wade, McKayla)Photo: Compliments of Kristy Thakeray

he walks back to me in the car and says ‘he Kris, you got your heart’. So now, we gotta get back to Edmonton”, says a still emotional Thackeray. Despite a donor heart being found and hustling back to

Edmonton, the family still didn’t know if this was actually going to be the miracle they had waited so long for. But on May 26th, 1996 Kristy received the amazing gift of a new heart – miraculously on the birthdate of the young woman who lost her life and was then the donor, Dawn Marie Tremblay. Thackeray’s surgery went very well, some intense follow

up after the surgery and then back to Medicine Hat to carry on, as best one does after going through something like that, the life of a teenage girl.“I slowly got back into the swing of things, school and

check ups back in Edmonton which went from every two weeks, to monthly to every six months and then once a year. The media in Medicine Hat would do the odd story on me when an anniversary would come around

but that sort of stopped too. Until 2001 when I got preg-nant”, explains Thackeray. Thackeray explains that the pregnancy was unplanned

and was not something that was even medically possible. Thackeray even states that she went as far as booking an abortion appointment, but when she went for an ultra-sound days before the appointment and learned that she was having twins, she forgot all about that appointment. “I believe I am the first transplant recipient in North

America to give birth to twins, but some people have said I’m the first in the world – but I’m not sure”, says Thack-eray. So this young single mom, with the help of her parents,

took on the task of raising these beautiful twin baby girls – Shaylynn and McKayla. Both babies were followed closely and had heart echoes done as it was unknown if there was a genetic component to restrictive cardiomyo-pathy. But what happened next, no one expected. “In September 2003, both girls had echoes done and

they were both perfect. Then in November, I took Shay-lynn to day home and she just started throwing up un-controllably. We went to Emergency but she was fine by then. The next day she was fine. The next day we were back to throwing up again so I took her to the Alberta Children’s Hospital. Two days later….we were going for transplant work up”, explained Thackeray. On January 23, 2004, an unknown hero was the donor of a heart for young Shaylynn – who is now a vibrant fourteen year old, twelve years post transplant. Thackeray has written a book of this remarkable journey

entitled “Transplanting Hope: My life – Someone Else’s Heart” and is holding a book signing at the Chestermere Best Western on June 25th from 1pm – 4pm. Thackeray writes the dedication in the book saying,

“We would like to thank all donor families who have saved countless lives with their generosity. This book is also dedicated to every individual who is on the trans-plant list and waiting”.

Rules Of The LakeExcess speed can do more damage then you think

By Michelle Young

As summer quickly approaches and the weather heats up, many will be heading to the lake. There have been articles on invasive species and other dangers to the lake, but what about the damage that excessive boat speeds can do?Earlier in the month I received an email from a very

concerned resident who has noticed some deteriora-tion to an area of shoreline on the lake. Tim says that although he has only lived in Chestermere for just over a year, he is concerned about boaters not adhering to the speed limit north of the Chestermere Blvd bridge.“During nice weather, it is a daily occurrence to see

boaters race around this area with water skiers and rafts in tow going well over the 15km speed limit. Initially I thought this rule was in place so that kayakers paddle boarders etc. could have a place where they could enjoy

calmer waters. Perhaps this is the case, though I constantly see large waves splashing up on the shore from speeding boats erod-ing away our beautiful shoreline.” explains Tim.I contacted the City of

Chestermere for some insight into the policing of our lake and the rules and received the following statement. “As the Lake is federally regulated, the speed limit of 12 km/h is set by the Federal Govern-ment under schedule 5 of the Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations

(SOR/2008-120) and it is currently the RCMP who patrol and enforce those limits. The peninsula is owned by the Western Irrigation District (WID). If City staff notice concerns with the lake shore, they provide that infor-mation to the WID and earlier this summer staff made WID aware of the concerns in that area”, said Corporate Communications Strategist with the City of Chestermere, Megan Matthies. Not complying with lake speed limits not only runs the

risk of damaging shorelines, but can also get boaters in some trouble. I reached out to Corporal Paul Zanon of the Chestermere RCMP Detachment who provided the following information.“The speed limit is correct (12 kmh), but only for the

entire area north of the bridge.It is referenced as Chestermere Lake (north of High-

way 1A) in the regulations. This is also posted at the boat launch. There are also buoys at the bridge area”,

explained Corporal Zanon.Although the lake speed is enforced by Chestermere

Peace Officers, it is quite often the RCMP that are pa-trolling the lake. Corporal Zanon adds, “Legislation in Alberta requires the RCMP to compel a person who is speeding to court (Summons or an Appearance Notice) at which point they would speak to the judge who, upon a finding of guilt, would impose a fine. This process is much different than a roadside traffic ticket”. Under the Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations

(VORR) Sec 2(5), Exceeding the Maximum Speed Limit on the lake will land you a $200 ticket. Corporal Zanon also mentions, “In addition, it is illegal

to consume and possess liquor on a boat, and as such violation tickets maybe issued and alcohol seized.The exception is a vessel that has a proper “head” -

nautical term for washroom - as part of its construction”. During a recent weekend here in Chestermere, Cor-

poral Zanon told me that 24 out of 30 boats that were checked were in violation of the law, typified with of-fences such as:• Alcohol possession• Inadequate or no lifejackets / pfd• No spotter for towing a skier / tube• Overweight / over capacity

Concerned resident, Tim, added, “Not only are we loos-ing our shoreline, but the sediment just gets washed out to the lake where it adds to an even bigger problem. If you want to take a walk yourself to see the damage, the ‘peninsula’ is the stretch of land dividing the canal waters that head North out of the lake and the Cove Beach area”. Corporal Zanon adds, “Police are patrolling the lake and

making checks!”Let’s have a fun and safe summer, while protecting our

beautiful lake and shores.

The speed limit on the north part of the lake is 12 km/h…the fine for not complying to that… $200 bucks. Photo: Compliments of Tim Smith

CELEBRATING BEING 55+ IN CHESTERMERE!

Submitted By: Vicki Klinger and Holly Wood

The 2016 Chestermere Seniors’ Week Celebrating 55+ recognized the 30th Anniversary of Seniors’ Week in Alberta.The Kick-Off to Seniors’ Week started at Camp

Chestermere on June 6. Over 40 guests were treated to a fantastic lunch, a few speeches, networking and great conversation. After lunch, many enjoyed the activities including floor shuffleboard and horseshoes while wait-ing for the very popular History of the Lake Boat Tour. This would have not been possible without the support of Camp Director Shannon Dean and his staff, Jenn Peddlesden of the Historical Foundation, John Kittler of Chestermere Landing, Boat Captain Jim Humber and Brian Wood, Director Alberta 55 plus & the Big Country Senior Sports Society .The remainder of the day and week was packed with

workshops covering many interesting topics: HeartMath, Healthy Eating, Reading Food Labels, Dementia Strate-gies, Management of Diabetes, Palliative Care, Designat-ed Living Options and many more. Some of the activities included: Fitness for Seniors, Gentle Yoga, Floor Shuffle-board, Pickleball, Walking Connections, Bocce, Laughter Yoga, Bridge, Cribbage Tournament, Euchre Tournament and 8-Ball Pool. Being active is good for your mind and

body, as well as adding years to your life and life to your years. The Chestermere Regional Food Bank partnered with

Meals on Wheels and held a workshop to let seniors know about the services that Meals on Wheels provide and had a table at the Seniors Wellness Fair. Family and Community Services (FCSS) partnered with Alberta Health Services to provide a special Senior’s Lunch & Learn on Tuesday! These workshops and activities would not have been

possible without the support of our Committee Volun-teers, the Chestermere Public Library, the CRCA, Com-munity Services, Mental Health Services, Chestermere Whitecappers Association, Chestermere Food Bank, Chestermere Lions Club, and the Waiting Room Café. We would also like to give special recognition to the Chestermere Rotary Club for their monetary donation to Seniors’ Week.On June 11th, the Chestermere Rec Centre was proud

to be part of the events. The Chestermere Lions Club started off the morning with a Free Pancake Break-fast. As usual, they had a great team of volunteers who cooked up pancakes and ham and served coffee and oj to well over 100 guests. The 55+ Wellness Expo ran from 10 until 3 and had over 25 tables sharing a variety of information about their services and products. The

day was topped off by a buffet style supper. Over 100 guests enjoyed “A Taste of Chestermere” featuring dishes donated by 20 different eateries here in Chestermere and a Salad Bar that rivalled “Mother Tucker’s”! For $5.00 guests enjoyed an amazing dinner and everyone was encouraged to take a plate or two home for lunch or supper the next day! After supper, guests were treated to a special musical performance by our own MLA Leela Aheer and her son Akesh. Leela and her family have been wonderful volunteers in Chestermere for many years and their musical performance was the perfect end-ing to the evening. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped and we would like to acknowledge the following eateries for their contribution to the Seniors Dinner: West Creek Pub, Edo Japan, Boston Pizza, Prince of Peace Manor Kitchen, Chicago Deep Dish Pizza, Subway, Jugo Juice, Amato Gelato, Zaytoon Market and Kitchen, Joey’s Urban Chestermere, Harvey’s, Pita Basket, Van Som Vietnamese Cuisine, Dairy Queen, Little Caesars Pizza, M & M Meats, Jessica’s Restaurant, Pho Lan and Alberta Greenhouse Organic Vegies.

Puck Drops in ChestermereBid for a junior hockey team becomes a reality

Submitted By: Alex Halat

Chestermere, AB – The Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) will be rolling into town on September 8, 2016. The Calgary Canucks will host the Canmore Eagles for a pre-season game to show the citizens of Chestermere what junior hockey could bring to their town.

A local group of businessmen, led by Alex Halat, is vying to bring an AJHL team to Chestermere, AB. “We want to build community spirit and give our great com-munity something to cheer about.” spoke Halat.

The AJHL is rich in history dating back to 1963 with the Edmonton Oil Kings (now a Western Hockey League franchise) and is currently 16 teams strong throughout Alberta with players aging from 16-20. The AJHL is also known for their strong ties in education with several

scholarships handed out yearly to players.

One of the biggest reasons for Halat and the rest of the people behind bringing a team to Chestermere is to sup-port local youth. “A team like this will mentor our youth and showcase what is out there for them in terms of moving onto the next level.”

Bringing a team to Chestermere Halat vows that every not-for-profit groups will be able to generate funds as well from the 50/50 sales. Halat continues, “It’s sim-ple for us, it’s a win- win situation for the entire city of Chestermere. From local businesses to minor hockey.”

Tickets are on sale now; adult ticket prices are $7.00 and children 12 and under are $5.00. Puck drops at 7:00 pm. Tickets are available by contacting Halat at 403-874-7098 or via email at [email protected].

Taking A Ride Against BullyingChestermere takes a stand

By Michelle Young

Whether you heard the roar of the motorcycles or saw the quick pedaling of small feet on bicycles, Saturday was a day to take a stand against bullying. On Saturday June 18th, the Chestermere Langdon Oil-

men’s Association (CLOA) held their annual ‘Bicycle Ride Against Bullying’. Starting in the parking lot of Sharp Edge Barber Shop, bikers of all shapes and sizes lined up and made their way down West Lakeview Drive then down West Chestermere Drive ending up in the parking lot of Anniversary Park.

With proceeds from the ride being donated to Synergy to be used in their anti-bullying initiatives, which the members of Synergy and CLOA say need to be a priority in our society. Bullying takes on so many faces and is seen in children,

teens and adults all over the world and even here in our community. Taking place in schools, work places and also online – bullying is becoming something that doesn’t just end at the end of the work or school day. Bullies act out in the smallest of name calling, intimidat-

ing to horrific acts of violence as recently seen in Or-lando, Florida which saw one individual taking the lives

of many in a targeted attack against a specific group. No

matter what method of bullying occurs, it is not ok and

should not be ignored.

Rides like this will not stop bullying, but what it does do

is show a unity and solidarity of people saying that bully-

ing will not be accepted or tolerated. Not in our schools.

Not in our work places. Not in our communities. Not in

our online and social media outlets.

Thank you to all who organized supported and partici-

pated in this ride against bullying.

The Fraser Institute

VANCOUVER, B.C. / Troy Media/ – Alberta is typically

thought of as a low-tax jurisdiction in Canada. That’s

largely true. However, Alberta’s tax advantage will likely

shrink in the future with a recent onslaught of tax increas-

es – some already implemented, some soon to come.

But even today, the tax burden isn’t all that light. In

2016, the average Alberta family will pay $47,752 in

total taxes. That’s 37.4 per cent of its annual income

($127,822) going to provincial, federal and local taxes.

One way to put the size of this tax bill into context is to

consider a hypothetical scenario where, this year, the av-

erage Alberta family paid its total annual tax bill upfront.

Under these circumstances, it would give government

every dollar it earned up to May 16. In other words, May

17 was Tax Freedom Day in Alberta. It’s only after four

and a half months of the year that Alberta families finally

work for themselves, and not government.

While this year Albertans celebrated Tax Freedom Day

significantly earlier than other Canadians across the

country, that could soon change once the full suite of

tax increases announced by the Notley government over

the past year (including the recently passed carbon tax)

come into effect. Indeed, the tax hikes already imple-

mented (including increases to the personal income tax

and corporate income tax) would have pushed this year’s

Tax Freedom Day later if not for the sharp economic

downturn in the province, which increased unemploy-

ment and pushed many Albertans into lower income tax

brackets.

Yet this level of taxation (again, 37.4 per cent of the av-

erage Alberta family’s income) is still not enough to satisfy

the excessive spending habits of governments.

This year, the provincial government plans to spend

$10.4 billion more than what revenues would allow

while the federal government plans to spend $29.4 bil-

lion more. Government debt is simply deferred taxation,

so these budget deficits ultimately must be paid for with

taxes in the future.

Put another way, governments now spend more than

they collect from Albertans each year, leaving the prob-

lem of paying for it to young Albertans.

Let’s assume the provincial and federal governments

increased taxes further to balance their budgets this year

instead of financing the extra expenditures with deficits.

If that were the case, Tax Freedom Day in Alberta would

arrive 25 days later. That means Albertans would start

working for themselves nearly a month later – on June

11, instead of May 17. In this scenario, Tax Freedom

Day in Alberta would come later than in neighbouring

Saskatchewan. So much for the Alberta Advantage.

Albertans currently work 137 days of the year to fund

government before pocketing a single dollar for them-

selves. Unfortunately, in the future, Albertans may end

up working later into the year unless governments stop

raising tax rates, begin living within their means and rein

in spending.

Dutch Elm Disease Awareness Week is recognized annually throughout the province of Alberta from June 22- 28. The intent is to raise awareness on how dangerous Dutch elm disease (DED) is, the importance of elm trees to our com-munities, and that DED can be prevented. At present, Alberta has the largest DED-free American elm stand in the world, and it is important to protect this valuable resource. The Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED) is asking for your assistance to save our beautiful elm trees from this deadly disease. DED is caused by a fungus that clogs the

elm tree’s water conducting system, caus-ing the tree to die. The fungus is primar-ily spread from one elm tree to another by three species of beetles, the smaller European, the native and the banded elm bark beetle. The beetles are attracted to weak and dying trees, which serve as breeding sites for the beetles. Once the beetles have pupated and turned into adults they leave the brood gallery and fly to healthy elms to feed, thus transporting the fungus on their bodies from one tree to the next. Monitoring for the beetles is done annually throughout the province by STOPDED. The smaller elm bark beetles have been found throughout the province in low numbers and now the banded elm bark beetle is found in larger numbers throughout the City of Medicine Hat and area. For this reason we must be even more vigilant. Leaves on a DED-infected elm will wilt

or droop, curl and become brown. This appears in mid-June to mid-July. Leaves on trees infected later in the season usual-ly turn yellow and drop prematurely. Leaf symptoms are accompanied by brown staining under the bark. All DED suspect elms must be tested in a lab so if you think you see DED symptoms call the hotline. During DED Awareness Week, please

take a moment and find out how you can help save our elms.

What can you do?• Be aware of the Alberta elm pruning

ban between April 1and September 30. The beetles are most active at this time and can be attracted to the scent of fresh tree cuts, possibly infecting a healthy elm.

• Keep your elm trees healthy, and vigorous.

• Water elms well from April to mid-August. To allow the tree to harden off for the winter, watering should be stopped mid-August followed by a good soaking or two before freeze-up.

• Only between October 1 to March 31, remove dead branches and trees as they can provide beetle habitat.

• Dispose of all elm wood immediate-ly by burning, burying or chipping.

• Report all suspect trees to the DED Hotline at 1-877-837-ELMS. A con-firmed DED tree must be removed immediately to prevent further spread.

• What you shouldn’t do!• Do not transport or store elm

firewood at any time! DED and the beetles are declared pests under the AB Agricultural Pests Act and this can be enforce.

• Do not transport elm firewood into Alberta! Firewood is confiscated at all the Alberta-Montana border crossings.

• Do not prune elms between April 1 to September 30.

To report a DED suspect elm tree or for

more information, call the STOPDED hotline at 1-877-837-ELMS or check out the web site at www.stopded.org. Our elms are a treasure that we cannot

afford to lose. Janet Feddes-Calpas STOPDED Executive [email protected]

Under The Dark Of NightHomeowners asking for public assistance after late night robbery

By Michelle Young

When this young Chestermere family moved onto their dream acreage, they did so hoping for that quiet and safe environment, away from the hustle bustle and crime of the city. But after the event of this past week, this family is feeling anything but safe. On June 15th on a quite acreage on RRD 281 & HWY

1 on the east side of Chestermere, while this family slept, two cowardly thieves snuck onto their property and spent close to ten minutes rummaging through vehicles. One of the homeowners explained, “June 15th at

2:27am our security cameras caught a black SUV with black rims (guessing to be a 2009-2012 Range Rover sport) stop outside our driveway entrance. I watched (on the security footage) the headlights go off, then a lady approximately in her mid 30’s, blonde hair, glasses, torn right pant leg & black adidas runners with white stripes on the side walk onto our property. She turns back and signals the man to drive into our property, that

the coast is clear. All I can see of the male suspect driver is a white baseball cap & looks to be Caucasian. As I continue watching I see them go all around our property with flashlights & going into all our vehicles. At approx. 2:38am the vehicle pulls away”. Upon realizing what has happened the next morning,

the couple begin assessing the damage and what was taken. “At the end of the day they maybe stole $500 worth of goods. They took the registration papers out of two of our trucks, some tools and a controller to operate a snow plow on a truck. All the things they took mean absolutely nothing to me. What really upsets and angers me is that breach of my home! My property! How dare these people think that’s ok to lurk around people’s property and take things that they didn’t work for and definitely don’t deserve. I still haven’t told my daughter what happened, nor do I think I will if I can avoid it. I’m not one to ever lie to her but this is her home, this is where she should feel safe and protected. These people have taken that from us”.

The couple took to social media to both warn the public and ask for help. “I posted pictures and videos on the ‘I love Chestermere’ FB (Facebook) page and have had a tremendous response. Everyone really has made an effort to share the posts and get these pictures out there so these people can get caught. So many people have mes-saged me and said they saw that same vehicle sitting out-side their house or over by the high school. I’ve learned from this if you see a suspicious vehicle and your gut says something isn’t right about it, call the police! If they leave before the police arrive write down the plate, the vehicle info, passenger info etc. We as a community have to start looking out for each other. Sadly make sure no valuables are in your vehicle, it’s locked, your home is all locked and secure etc. Long gone are the days of leaving your doors unlocked cause we were safe in our homes”, says the shaken resident. If you recognize the woman in these photos or the

vehicle or have any information, please contact the Chestermere RCMP detachment.

By Joseph MicallefColumnist Troy Media

PORTLAND, Ore. / Troy Media/ - The core of U.S. presi-dential candidate Donald Trump’s political message is his assertion that the United States “doesn’t win anymore,” because weak-willed politicians have made “bad deals” allowing both its allies and enemies to take advantage of the U.S.The U.S.’s allies have not paid their share of defence

costs, instead getting a free ride, he contends.Mexico, in particular, has been singled out for also be-

ing the source of millions of illegal immigrants, being the primary conduit for illegal narcotics entering the United States and “stealing” high paying American jobs.When it comes to Canada, Trump has been strangely

silent. Perhaps he doesn’t want to disrupt his real estate holdings in Toronto and Vancouver?Canada, however, largely parallels Mexico’s role in

North America’s economy. Both countries send the bulk of their exports to the U.S., roughly 75 per cent for Canada, and more than 80 per cent for Mexico. They both ran significant trade surpluses with the U.S. in 2014, about $50 billion for Canada and $120 billion for Mexico, although Canada’s has been steadily dropping since then. Both countries export a significant share of their commodity production, especially hydrocarbons, to the U.S., and both also have an extensive manufacturing sector that competes with U.S. industry.There are, of course, differences. There aren’t millions of

illegal Canadian immigrants living in the U.S. or attempt-ing to sneak across the border. The weekend lines of Canadian shoppers at the U.S. border may feel that way,

but they all go home after spending their money.Canadian tourists in the U.S. outspent their American

counterparts in Canada by $14 billion in 2014. It’s an amazing figure when you consider that the U.S. has 10 times Canada’s population. Much of the trade surplus is eaten up by significant deficits in services and investment income.Like Mexico, Canada is also a conduit for drugs to the

U.S. If British Columbia ever legalizes marijuana, its can-nabis exports would be recognized as its leading export sector, adding billions of dollars to Canada’s official trade.Nor does Canada pose much of a threat to U.S. manu-

facturers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average manufacturing wage for U.S. workers is about $26.61 per hour. Statistics Canada has the comparable Canadian wage at $26.90. In Mexico, the average manu-facturing wage is around $4.10 per hour.In the Trumpian worldview, Canada has certainly gotten

a “free ride” on defence spending. The other cases of “free riders” that Trump singled out, however, did not represent existential threats to the U.S. NATO may have been designed to protect western Europe from a Soviet invasion, but today’s mission is largely that of protecting the former Soviet satellite states from Russian aggression. Such aggression, while a political defeat for Washington, would hardly pose an existential threat to the U.S. Ditto for South Korea and Japan.Threats to Canada’s security, however unlikely, do pose

a threat to the U.S. Fortifying and defending a 5,000-kil-ometre-long border would be a Herculean task. Military planners are tasked with considering the unthinkable and planning for the improbable, hence the security of Canada is as much a U.S. concern as it is a Canadian

one. No Canadian “free rider” argument is likely out of a Trump White House.A Trump administration would be supportive of the

Keystone XL pipeline, good news for Calgary’s oil patch. In other areas its impact is unclear. Disputes between Ottawa and Washington usually revolve around questions of unfair trade competition. Should one arise, look for Trump, and his trademark belligerency, to be much more assertive at insisting that the U.S. gets “a good deal.”It’s in the Arctic where a Trump White House is likely

to clash with Ottawa. Regardless of its underlying causes, the Arctic is heating up and that has long-term geopoliti-cal implications. There may be significant hydrocarbon deposits on the Arctic seafloor. In addition, transit rights for commercial and military vessels are also at stake.Russia has moved aggressively to stake a broader claim

to the Arctic’s potential mineral wealth and is expanding its fleet of military icebreakers. The U.S. is following suit. Washington has already argued that Arctic waters are international sea lanes and do not require Ottawa’s per-mission to transit. Such claims are a direct challenge to Canada’s Arctic sovereignty and could bring a very public clash between Ottawa and a Trump presidency.Trumpism will have mixed consequences for Canada.

On the whole, though, Trump has ignored Canada because he simply doesn’t see Canada as much of an economic threat to the United States. In a world where economic competitiveness is increasingly the key to national power, that should give Canadians something to ponder.© 2016 Distributed by Troy Media

Canada Just Doesn’t Matter That Much To TrumpIt says something about Canada that Trump ignores us because he doesn’t see Canada as much of an economic threat to the United States


A CHS Legend Moving On To New AdventureHigh School Coach honored

By Michelle Young

When you think of high school, one of the first things to come to mind is the sports….the fall leaves being trampled on the football field, the sound of the buzzer at the end of a basketball game.... the pride of bringing that championship banner home. When you think of sports at Chestermere High School (CHS), you think of Coach Rob Wilson. Since 1982, straight after graduating from

University, Coach Wilson has been a vital part of the Chestermere High School fac-ulty teaching Physical Education and Math teacher. Wilson also coached mostly boys basketball and golf but have coached the girls basketball as well over the years. Recently, it was announced that Coach

Wilson is hanging up his CHS coaching whistle and will be retiring at the end of the 2016 school year. At the recent Chestermere High School Athletic Awards event, Coach Wilson was inducted into the Chestermere High School Hall of Fame – a surprise that caught the Coach speechless and emotional. Fellow teacher and coach, Brian Utley,

old me that both he and Wilson have completed their two years of half-time teaching as part of the RVSD (Rocky View School Division) transition program. “I will continue to be involved in the school as a coach and substitute teacher, but Rob’s plans are to not teach or coach. I think he deserves some attention for his many achievements”, says Utley. When asked about his friend and co-

worker, Utley had this to say ““Rob has

made a significant contribution to the students and athletes of Chestermere High School in his 34 years. He has won numerous championships and had many of his athletes move on to post-secondary basketball programs. As well, he has made a difference in the lives of his students and athlete by teaching them many valuable life lessons. His influence has been pro-found and his presence at Chestermere High School will be missed.”With the dedication and commitment

of over three decades to one school but thousands of students, it would likely be hard to pick some favourite moments, but I asked Coach Wilson what were some of the highlights from his time at CHS. “Being at the same school for the entire

time….seeing the basketball program have a lot of success over the 34 years. Winning 5 provincial championships and having players from our school play on provincial teams or moving on to post sec-ondary to play. Being able to coach both my kids and seeing them go on to play at Universityand coaching with alumni or my wife”,

says Wilson.The surprise of being inducted into the

Chestermere High School Hall of Fame rendered the Coach a little speechless but he said that it was such an honour to be recognized for years of service.So as this era ends for the much-loved

Coach, what will retirement bring? Coach Wilson says he has no set plans yet. Congratulations and thank you Coach

Wilson!

June 23, 2016 – For immediate release Chestermere, AB – Mussels and other Aquatic Invasive species can cling to the bottoms of boats, hide in small places and are harmful to the natural ecosystem. In order to combat this, the Government of Alberta has trained dogs to detect these species in Alberta’s waterways. On June 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cindy Sawchuck,

with Alberta Environment and Parks, and Hilo, one of the members of Alberta’s Conservation K-9 Unit, will be at the Boat Launch at Chestermere Lake doing demonstra-tions detecting mussels. Families, boaters and residents are all invited. Sawchuck will be there to answer any questions residents may have about Aquatic Invasive Spe-cies. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. “Zebra Mussels and Quagga Mussels are a threat to our

waterways and we must ensure that they do not enter our beautiful Lake. We hope this event will bring aware-ness to how mussels are spread, and what we can do to prevent them from entering the Lake,” said Ken Jackson,

Parks Supervisor for the City of Chestermere. Aquatic Invasive Species are plants and animals (mus-

sels) that can infest our lake, damage pumps and irriga-tion systems, and clog boat props. They are almost im-possible to remove. These species have already infested many lakes in North America and are transported on boats and boating equipment. They can survive for up to 30 days outside of water and the larvae are too small to be seen. “We are working diligently with western States and

Provinces to search for mussels, because mussels don’t have borders,” said Cindy Sawchuck, AIS Watercraft Inspections and Conservation K-9 Program Lead with the Government of Alberta. We all have a part in preventing the spread of Aquatic

Invasive Species. If you are travelling with a boat, please remember to clean, drain and dry all equipment. For more information on aquatic invasive species please

Shooting With Joe

“Smooth Sunsets“ – Waterton Lakes National Park, ABTIP – the ability to smooth out the water when the wind is blowing has its advan-tages. As in this photo, a Neutral Density Filter (ND) was used to slow the shutter speed down to a point where it blurred the water enough to cause a smooth sur-

face. It will also pick up some nice highlight from the sky.This photo was taken on one of my photography workshops where my students all

learned how to use this technique.I will be teaching this technique along with others in my Landscape Photography

Primer thru The Camera Store. Check out their website under workshops for details!

Hello Chestermere!

It is hard to find the words this week to express how devastating it is to hear about the many atrocities and heart breaking losses in Orlando Florida, and around the world. Little Lane Graves was taken by a crocodile at a Disney World lagoon on June 15, and his little body was recovered a short time afterward. Losing a child is the cruelest blow of all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.On June 12 American-born Omar

Mateen, 29, of Fort Pierce, Florida, who’d evidently pledged allegiance to ISIS, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 at a gay nightclub in Orlando. “This was an act of violence born out of hate that inflicted terror on an entire commu-nity,” FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper said Wednesday. “I would call it a hate crime, I would call it terrorism. It’s both.” Our most heartfelt condolences go out to all those who are suffering from these horrific events. The day before on June 11, 2016 the

singer Christina Grimmie (“The Voice”) was shot dead. This beautiful young singer had such a great career ahead of her. We send our love to her family and friends.Finally, Canadian hostage Robert Hall

was executed by Al-Qaeda offshoot Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines. He was mur-dered at some point on June 13, 2016. He had been held since September 21, 2015. Again we are just overwhelmed with grief over this senseless loss.

We are so fortunate to live in Canada, and moreover Alberta. We are sur-rounded by people who constantly, and consistently inspire us at the worst moments in their lives. People like the Sommerfeld family who allowed us to share in their grief on Friday June 10th as we released balloons in Jaydon’s honor to commemorate this beautiful young life who was taken from us too soon. We were also inspired by Dr Jackie Smith of the privately funded non-profit Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC). Dr. Smith related her personal story of her daughter’s addictions to drugs and alco-hol, and the great work done at AARC, to a group of Chestermere and surrounding area advocates for youth and youth pro-grams. Included in the discussion was our very own Patty Sproule of Synergy, and Bev LaPeare our school trustee. These are the things that give me hope in such trying times around the world, and here at home with job losses at an all time high, and no relief in sight from a Government whose agenda seems bent on destroying our en-ergy sector. During the Carbon Tax debate we in the Wildrose asked the government repeatedly to release their economic im-pact assessment. They repeatedly refused. Recently leaked documents prepared by their financial advisors indicate that the Carbon Tax will cause further damage to an economy that is already reeling. With total job losses in excess of 100,000 and tens of thousands of jobs lost in the last month alone is this really the time to pile on more taxes? Enjoy the start of summer. We now

offer Commissioner For Oaths services (free). Please call the office. Remember to stay strong Alberta! We are a resilient, compassionate, and magnificent province. We will continue to fight for you, and as always we love to hear from you!

ATHLETIC AWARDS NIGHT JUNE 14th We had one of our best turnouts in recent years for this

event. Over 150 people attended the Awards Night. It was great to see so many people out to support our ath-letes and alumni Hall of Famers. We recognized excel-lence in the program and said good bye to our seniors.

THE WORLD’S BEST

HEARING AIDS

FOR LESS!

Recently, the debate on electoral reform has been occurring on Parliament Hill. The Liberals have proposed changing the way Cana-dians vote, without first having a referendum and giving Canadians a say. I have major concerns with this issue. Another issue of concern is that the Liberals will not allow Canadians to vote on whether they want to keep the current system, known as the ‘first-past-the-post’ system. We as Canadians, who are often very enthusiastic sports fans, understand this system. Let’s take the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who have the largest fan base in Canada, for example. Their fans understand that, when they win a number of games under the first-past-the-post system, they can win the Grey Cup. With what the Liberals are proposing, the Stamps could win more Grey Cups

without having to actually win the most games, and the semi-finals, and then finally the Grey Cup game. This is flawed as far as I’m concerned. If some of the alternatives proposed by the Liberals are brought in, such as propor-tional representation, the Toronto Maple Leafs, whose fans are hard done-by, would have a team with a lot more Stanley Cups. The Government recently passed C-14, the Physician-

Assisted Dying legislation through the House of Com-mons. It is now up to the Senate to amend or pass the bill as is. I still have many concerns about conscience rights for medical care personnel, which I find to be a signifi-cant issue. Therefore, I did not vote in favour of C-14. We are continuing to have an interesting session here on

Parliament Hill. We will soon be breaking for the sum-

mer, and I look forward to seeing many of you in events across Bow River this barbecue/rodeo season. I will be at-tending as many events as I can, and I hope you will too. Interacting with constituents is one of the best parts of the job of being an MP, and it’s a part of the job I really enjoy.Canada Day is rapidly drawing near. I hope that you are

able to make it to a local celebration near you, and that you are able to enjoy a fun-filled day with family and friends.Should you ever have any questions or comments, I

can be reached at my Brooks office at 403-793-6775 or 1-844-241-0020 or by email at [email protected]. Also, you can reach my Ottawa office at 613-992-0761 or [email protected]. Thanks, and have an enjoyable June.

One of the best tips you will ever get for improving your game and lowering your scores is to simply arrive at the course early! Yes it’s as simple as that...just get there early! A lot of good things are going to happen upon your early arrival!

First off, you’re not going to be stressed out from the drive and traffic trying to make a tee time that you might be late for. In fact, the opposite will happen. Hope-fully, you are going to arrive at the course relaxed and in a good mood in anticipation of a wonderful day of golf with your friends because as you drove you visualized good swings and good thoughts and realized just how fortunate you are to be able to play golf today.

Secondly, your early arrival and check in at the proshop assists the staff in handling you in a professional manner. It helps the proshop staff and starter in the timely opera-tion of the tee sheet. By checking in early you also have

an opportunity to chat with the staff, perhaps exchange names and who knows what tips, advice or sales info they might pass along to you. None of that happens if you are late or rushed.

Thirdly, you get to have a proper warm up for your game. Once again, I am amazed at how many people just do not see the importance of hitting some balls, chips and putts before they tee it up. We now get to see on TV, especially during the majors, the arrival of the players to the course. Often, we get to see Jordan, Rory and Day or whoever else is in contention pull up in their car, in the parking lot, and make their way to the range. They are getting to the course one and a half to two hours be-fore they tee off so as to be ready from their first shot on. Why should you be any different if possible? Arriving 30, 45 minutes to one hour before you tee off is plenty of time for you to hit some shots and prepare properly.

Here’s some tips on how to spend your warm up time:

1. As you get your clubs out check the bag for the equipment and accessories you will need for that day ie. balls, glove, replace a spike, wind shirt, rain gear or umbrella. You now have time if you need to buy something or to take extra time to dress and prepare.

2. Head to the range and do a little stretching.3. Depending on how much time you have...start with

your wedges and work your way up to the driver. Finish up with the shots from the clubs you will use for the first few holes. It’s sometimes a good idea to play the first to holes on the range playing the clubs

you would normally hit on the opening holes.4. Head to the putting green/short game area for a few

chips, sand shots and putts.5. Relax, head for the first tee with your group know-

ing in your mind you are ready to play.

Finally, if you arrive early and just have time to get something to eat, forgetting the warm up, you are going to be better off for it. Your body needs fuel to play prop-erly. Starting off hungry hoping to buy something off the cart girl or wait for the half way house is no way to start.

So as you can see...a lot of good things can happen just by getting to the course early... which will go a long way to helping you play YOUR best golf!

Mac BeerLet’s talk about Mac Beer. No, gentle reader,

I’m not referring to the PBR swill that is enjoyed

by hipsters while writing poetry on their fruit-

logoed computing devices.

I refer instead to the state of local beer in the

fire-ravaged city of Fort McMurray, which is just

starting to reopen after the worst natural disas-

ter in Canadian history.

Fort McMurray has been home to a brew pub

called the Wood Buffalo Brewing Company

since 2013, which was the fourth pub in the

chain owned by Bear Hill Brewing.

You might recognize that chain by their other

locations, including Banff Brewing, Jasper Park

Brewing, and Last Best Brewing & Distilling in

Calgary. Show them some love and support

by patronizing their fine establishments while

Fort Mac gets back on their feet. You might

even see some of the staff displaced from Fort

McMurray, as they work out of sister brewery

locations until they can return home.

The Wood Buffalo brew pub is located in

downtown Fort Mac, an area which was mi-

raculously saved from the destruction that has

seen so many of our fellow Albertans lose their

homes and businesses.

While the brewery is still standing, there is ex-

tensive smoke damage, so they are still working

hard at cleaning up so they can reopen. The

head brewer is eagerly brewing up a delicious

batch to greet the thirsty neighbours as they

trickle back into town.

The 500 litre batch in progress when the call

to evacuate came in was lost, but all the fin-

ished beer in tanks survived unscathed, thanks

to the double-wall insulation on the copper and

steel tanks.

Despite being competitors in a cutthroat mar-

ket, seven other craft brewers in Alberta (Alley

Kat, Big Rock, Brewsters, Tool Shed, Village,

Wildrose, and Yellowhead) put their thoughts

of filthy lucre aside to donate kegs of their own

beer to Wood Buffalo, just to help keep the

doors open and the taps flowing while they

rebuild their beer stocks.

Wood Buffalo Brewing was touched by

the show of solidarity, and announced that all

proceeds from those sales will go to the local

Firefighters Relief Fund.

In another outpouring of generosity, Yellow-

head Brewing in Edmonton hosted a fundraiser

last week called Cask-Aid, and a dozen Alberta

craft breweries showed up with cask ales that

were tapped and enjoyed, raising over $2400

for Fort Mac, with donations matched by the

provincial and federal governments.

It is often said that great tragedies bring out the

best in people; we saw this in Calgary during

Floodageddon 2013, and we see it now with

the outpouring of help in Fort McMurray.

Unsurprisingly, the people that make good

beer are good people, and like other people

who like good beer, which brings us a small ray

of hope in an otherwise bleak situation.

Each brewery in the Bear Hill family has their

own unique list of brews, but don’t be surprised

if you see a few Wood Buffalo recipes pro-

duced at their sister operations during the up-

coming months, as the Fort Mac brewery slowly

struggles back to some semblance of normalcy.

My favourites are the Wood Buffalo Pale Ale

and Black Gold Stout. In a nod to faltering oil

prices, the Pale Ale is priced at 10% of the price

of a barrel of oil, so you can at least drown your

sorrows at a discount when economy takes a

hit.

The Black Gold Stout is bursting with notes

of chocolate and coffee from the dark roasted

malts, and the heavy mineral content in Fort

McMurray water makes for a creamy finish. At

only 4.2% ABV, this is made in the style of a Dry

Irish Stout, similar to the more famous Guin-

ness, although this is slightly less bitter. Your

humble narrator has been lucky enough to find

it on tap in Edmonton, and hope springs eternal

that it will show up in the Calgary area as well.

Until then, you can get the next best thing,

by visiting their sister brewery in downtown

Calgary. Last Best Brewing & Distilling is in

the space formerly known as Brew Brothers,

Amsterdam Rhino, Fox & Firkin, and a host of

others over the years. Try the Dirty Bird Black

Lager, an homage to the style that has long

been a local favourite!

Horoscope - Salome's StarsWEEK OF June 27, 2016

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel ready to face up to a major change, although it might involve some risks. A once-dubious family member comes around and of-fers support and encouragement.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Move forward with your plans, despite discouraging words from those who un-derestimate the Bovine’s strong will. Your keen instincts will guide you well.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding is easily cleared up. Then go ahead and enjoy some fun and games this week. A Libra might have ideas that merit serious consideration for the future.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel as if you’re in an emotional pressure cooker, but the situation is about to change in your favor. Take time out for some well-earned fun.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A shift in your workplace responsibilities creates resentment among some co-workers. Deal with it before it becomes a threat to your success on the job.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expect some surprises in what you thought was one of your typically well-planned schedules. Deal with them, and then enjoy some lighthearted entertainment.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful: What appears to be a solid financial opportunity might have some hidden risks attached. A hazy personal matter needs to be cleared up.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s a good time to strengthen ties with family and friends. You might feel unsure about a recent workplace decision, but time will prove you did the right thing.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Just when you thought your relationship was comfortable and even predictable, your partner or spouse could spring a potentially life-changing surprise on you.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your usually generous self is overshadowed by your equally strong suspicious nature. You might be judging things too harshly. Keep an open mind.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love and romance dominate the week. Married Aquarians enjoy domestic harmony, while singles could soon be welcom-ing overtures from loving Leos.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An old health prob-lem recurs, but it is soon dealt with, leaving you eager to get back into the swing of things. A favorable travel period starts this week.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have an independent spirit that resists being told what to do. But you’re also wise enough to appreciate good advice.
