A new program has come to Strathmorethats meant to help encourage healthy eat-
ing while making it an affordable option.The Community Kitchens Program of Cal-gary, in conjunction with Strathmore FCSSand Wheatland FCSS, has brought the GoodFood Box program to the area.
We have programs all over Strathmoreon healthy eating and all the TV shows,everywhere you go everyone is talkingabout healthy eating, healthy kids and yetour produce is so expensive. So this is one
way to help families eat healthy and have itbe affordable for them as well. Thats whywe wanted to bring this program to Strath-more, said Dahrlyne Knaus, FCSS program-mer.
This was our first time placing an order.We got 29 orders for the boxes which was
very exciting, I was hopeful we would get10. We already have eight orders for ournext order, so thats fabulous.The boxes can be purchased in three dif-
ferent sizes, small, which is $20 for 25-30lbsof food, medium for $25 and is 35-40lbsof food, or large which is 45-50lbs for $30.Each box contains the same main staples,potatoes, carrots, onion, apples and orang-es, and then is filled with whatever otherfruits and vegetables available at the bestprice that week.The program is available to anyone who
is interested in taking part, with no cutoffon how many people can order each time.If some people need two boxes, thats alsoan option, though courtesy would be to notorder more than what you would need.
The program is made possible becauseCommunity Kitchens bypass retailers, go-ing strictly to the importers and the pro-duce handlers in the province, said MarilynGunn, Chief Executive Officer and Found-er of Community Kitchens of Calgary. TheProduce Marketing Association then helpsthem get in touch with the different sup-pliers.
We started it because the first thing peo-ple leave out of their grocery order whentheyre struggling financially is usually pro-duce, said Gunn.
She had first found out about the programbeing run in Toronto and in 99 she flewdown to find out more.

That year Calgarys first Good Food Boxes were delivered.A route has been set up for the program and will see boxes
delivered to Chestermere, Strathmore, and Wheatland Coun-ty and soon to Siksika.
Once you set up a route and youre on the road you wantto reach as many people as you can because you know thereis issues in trying to get fresh produce, especially with thecost right now, its raised so high, its very difficult, especiallyin the rural areas it gets even costlier because of transporta-tion, said Gunn.
Community Kitchens also does a monthly comparison atthe supermarkets in Calgary, and each week when shoppingfor their produce they also do a cost comparison with thesuppliers to ensure they always get the best prices.There are only a few more delivery dates available for the
2014 calendar, and orders must be placed and paid for ap-proximately 10 days prior to delivery. Remaining times andpick up dates can be found on Page 4 in the Town of Strath-more ad, or by calling either Strathmore FCSS, 403-934-9090or Wheatland FCSS at 403-934-5335. The program startsagain in January, with the dates to be determined.

more prevalent than it was back in Foxs day, with nearly everyone being impacted by it in some way.

THE CAPTIVE
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
Two Strathmore teens that were look-ing to play in a couple ball tournaments
this summer eventually decided to cre-ate their own, and raise money for theCanadian Diabetes Association in theprocess.
We joined a slo-pitch team in theleague here in Strathmore. We werekind of looking around for tourna-ments and there wasnt really a wholebunch at that time of the year so wethought, instead of spending a bunchof time looking for tournaments, wemight as well just make one, said JasonHobson, 16.
Then I talked to him about it (ShawnFraser, 16) and he has diabetes so thenwe thought, were not just going to takeall this money from people, we mightas well donate all of the profits to an or-
ganization and we figured diabetes wasa good one to start out with.The boys then got to work; they be-
gan collecting raffles prizes from fam-
ily, businesses and different organiza-tions. They got 12 teams registered,and two weeks before the tournament,they were in Hussar working on gettingthe diamonds ready, which was a little
more than they had anticipated.It took both of them on mowersabout three hours and a half hoursjust to cut the grass down. The wholething looked like a grass field inside ofa fence, said Hobson, and they trans-formed it back into a beautiful lookingball field. The night before the tourna-ment, which was held Aug. 15-17, itrained and Frasers dad had gone inand pumped out the water from thediamonds.
In the end, the event was more suc-cessful than either teen could have an-ticipated.
It was better than we expected prob-ably for the first year, and we would justlike to thank everyone who showed up
and donated, its a real appreciation forthat, said Fraser.
Its amazing actually, I was quitepleased when I got the e-mail saying
that you guys had organized the event.Its always fascinating when you findcommunities get together and pull of afundraiser like this, especially someonein high school because its not some-
thing that most people in high schoolare thinking about, said Jason Demers,manager of Mission Funding for Alber-ta/NWT with the Canadian Diabetes As-sociation.
To do all the work that you guys did,especially knowing that you guys didthe diamonds as well, thats impressive.Alot of people would have given upthe fact that you guys persevered andraised the money that you did is amaz-ing.
Without these events we wouldntbe able to put on the services that wedo, because we rely fully on the moneythat is raised by donors, its not comingfrom government.The boys managed to raise $5,970 for
diabetes research and are already mak-ing plans for next years event, whichwill possibly be to raise funds for theHeart and Stroke Foundation.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Whereas Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian
women and is a serious disease that will affect 24,400women, 210 men and their families this year; and
Whereas It is a great importance that money be raised to fund
breast cancer research projects and community programs;
and
Whereas The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation strives to be an
effective advocate, a trusted leader, a respectful partner
and a resourceful catalyst in creating a future without
breast cancer.
Therefore, I, Mayor Michael Ell, proclaim the month of
October 2014 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the Town of
Strathmore, Alberta this 1st day of October 2014.
Every year countless pumpkins are carved across North America to help get peoplein the spirit for Halloween, but as we turn the calendar over to November many people
no longer have a use for that jack-o-lantern that was sitting on their front step. Thisyear Strathmore FCSS and the Youth Club of Strathmore have found an innovative
and unique resolution to that issue Our 2nd Annual Pumpkins in the Park.
This is a great way for families to interact and enjoy this season. On November 1st,
2014 we are hoping that all residents of Strathmore that have carved pumpkins willdrop them off at Kinsman Park before 4:00 pm. Volunteers will set them up throughout
the park and light them for a festive evening spectacular.For two hours you and your family can wander the park and enjoy the festivities. The
event begins at 6 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. Hot Chocolate will be available to helpkeep you warm and music will fill the air.
Anyone taking in the event is encouraged to bring along a non-perishable food item,
new unwrapped toy or cash donation for the Good Food Box Program.If you would like to extend the life-span of your jack-o-lantern this Halloween seasonand you want everyone to enjoy your jack-o-lantern as well, all you have to do is
drop off your carved pumpkin at Kinsman Park on Saturday, November 1st, 2014 by4:00 pm .
If you would like to volunteer with any aspect of the event from pickups to drop offs,or setting the pumpkins up at the park, please give Dahrlyne a call at StrathmoreFCSS - 403-934-9090.
With everyones support, this could be an amazing event for all to enjoy.

Did You Know?The creative process of art is a form of therapy that
involves self-expression and can help resolve conflicts,
reduce stress as well as increase self-esteem.
The Strathmore Regional Arts Collective, in partnership with the Town of Strathmore, held their second
annual Arts & Sounds in the Park Festival on Sept. 26-27. The Friday evening concert took place in
Kinsmen Park - the weather was chilly, but coffee and hot chocolate were on hand. The crowd enjoyedperformances from The Dearhearts and Jenn Beaupre, who was accompanied by Angus Wilson and
Lewis Frere. Unfortunately the tents that were to be used for the Saturday Art Festival suffered severe
damage on Friday afternoon. A last minute venue change to the Strathmore Ag Grounds proved to
be the festivals biggest challenge. Despite the major setback, the Festival took place while visitors
strolled around wonderful art displays and were entertained on the main stage by various artists.Wendi Tashlikowich Photos

Parliamentary Report
Last Monday, as Parliament opened, Prime MinisterStephen Harper delivered a barn-burner of a speech aboutthe work to be accomplished this year. Prime Minister Harperoutlined our Governments priorities: balancing the budget,creating jobs and opportunities, providing further tax relieffor Canadian families, supporting and protecting Canadian
communities, and continuing to stand up for Canadianvalues abroad.
I want to underline for you some of the highlights of PrimeMinister Harpers speech. If youd like to read the entirespeech, it is posted on my website.
He began his speech by declaring, We are excited andwe should be excited to be able to take our agenda fartherand faster than ever before - excited to get things done forCanadians!
He reminded us that, our plan is not complicated. Werehere to create jobs and lower taxes. Were here to helpCanadian families. And we are here for Canada - a prosperousCanada, a secure Canada, a strong Canada - a Canada thattruly is, and must remain, the best country in the world.
We have emerged from the worst global economicdownturn since the Great Depression with an economythat is, make no mistake, the envy of the world. Even as
other countries have stagnated - or worse, Canada hascreated nearly 1.1 million jobs and these are overwhelminglyprivate-sector, full-time, high-paying jobs. There are stillsignificant challenges in our labour market but there are alsoopportunities.
And as Conservatives, we know Canadians work hard tomake ends meet. Thats why weve lowered taxes for familiesand job-creating businesses, by tens of billions of dollars. Itswhy we cut the GST, why we introduced Tax-Free SavingsAccounts, why we created The Universal Child Care Benefit,why we established Income-splitting for our pensioners.These have been big wins for Canadians and we must neverallow anyone to take them away, he reinforced.
Tax breaks for first-time homebuyers, care givers, transitusers, childrens arts and sports programs. All this adds up tomoney in peoples pockets - nearly three and a half thousanddollars, every year, for the average Canadian family. We have
Prime Minister Harper opens autumn parliamentary sessionaccomplished all this while keeping our budget ontrack, and headed back into balance, on schedule,as we promised.
When we took office in this era of globalmarkets, Canada had free trade agreements withonly five other countries. The previous governmenthad taken us virtually out of the game of tradenegotiations. Now, with free-trade agreementswith 43 countries, Canada will have one of the
greatest trading networks in the world.This fall we will do more. We will move to
speed the removal of foreign criminals from ourshores. We will end automatic early parole forserious, repeat offenders. We will make sure thata life sentence means what its supposed to mean,prison for life.
Were also here to stand up for Canada inthe world as I said at the outset, not just arisky world, but an increasingly dangerous one.Canadians have wanted us to pursue a foreignpolicy that is rooted in protecting our interestsand projecting our values not as our critics havelong advocated, to just go along to get along. Andlet me tell you, in the councils of the world, thereis no ambiguity as to where Canada stands.

FROM THE OFFICE OF
JASON HALE
Strathmore-Brooks MLA Ja-son Hale sent a letter outlininglocal issues to Richard Starke,the MLA assigned to conduct areview on rural health care onSept. 25.
In the letter, Hale outlinesthe need for expansion of theStrathmore Hospital, and high-lights that the Hospital has thesecond busiest rural emergencyroom in the province.
I am happy to see that thisgovernment is taking ruralhealth care seriously, as it haslargely been ignored, Halestates. However, these are not
new issues and I believe thatthis is just another report thatis slowing down progress. Ihave been advocating for thisexpansion since I took office in
2012, and it has been on boththe Calgary Health Authoritysand AHS priority lists since
2006. While I have asked for ameeting to ensure our issuesare taken seriously, this govern-ment is already fully aware ofthe issue.
Hale will be seeking a meet-ing with MLA Starke, to discussthis and other issues in the re-gion. Attached is a copy of theletter sent.
Dear Dr. StarkeIn light of your recent ap-
pointment to Chair the ReviewPanel on Rural Healthcare, I
would like to bring to yourattention some of the issues,
which I have been continuously
advocating for and have raisedto the former Minister of Health.The Town of Strathmore is
a community of over 12,000people, with one hospital re-
sponsible for serving a largesurrounding area. Since a 2006study, authored by the Calgary
Regional Health Authority,plans for the expansion of theStrathmore Hospital have beenon the priority list. This has alsomade the AHS infrastructurelist as the number two priority
within the Calgary Region, anddespite promises this projecthas yet to be undertaken.As you may now, the Strath-
more Hospital has the secondbusiest rural emergency roomin the province. Since construct-ed in 1985 the hospital has not
been modified or expanded. Infact the hospital has actuallylost space in 2013 with the clo-
sure of the long-term care wing.I would appreciate a meetingwith you to discuss this matterand other health concerns with-in the Town of Strathmore.

Applications are available for Strathmore FCSSs2015 grant funding.The amount being allocated for the year has
not been determined yet, but it has been around
$20,000 to $30,000 over the past couple of years.The maximum amount a group can apply for is$5,000 and the reasoning must meet the mandateof FCSS.
If the programs dont need $5,000 then theycan apply for $2,000, or a $1,000 whatever, saidCatherine Walsh, FCSS coordinator.
Basically FCSSs focus is on preventative initia-tives, and thats straight across the province, thecommunitys design and deliver social programsthat are preventative in nature to promote and en-
hance well being among individuals, families, andcommunities. So as long as the programs apply-ing meet that, that would be a main focus of ourboards decisions.
It also depends on what the community needs.Its up to the discretion of the board, and the boardis made up of different community members.
In the past Growing Families Opportunity,Golden Hills School Division, ROE, 5forLife, StepOne Housing, Community Crisis Shelter, and Ac-credited Supports to the Community, to name afew, have been granted funds. New projects arealso encouraged to come forward with their ap-plications.The application deadline is Oct. 16, and the
form can either be picked up at the FCSS office,or printed from the Town of Strathmore website atwww.strathmore.ca.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the EditorFor sometime the needs of the Strathmore Hospital
have been largely ignored by the provincial govern-ment, and more specifically by Alberta Health. Thishospital is 30 years old and was built to serve a popu-lation much smaller than what we have today.
Clients come from the town, the county, and areassuch as Langdon, Chestermere, Airdrie and the east-ern edge of Calgary.
M.L.A. Jason Hale took our concerns to the Legis-lature in late 2013, and these concerns were largelydismissed by Minister Drysdale and then Health Min-ister, Fred Horn. This may be the time to again remindthe provincial government of the need for funding toimprove this health facility and to make use of theempty space at the Strathmore Hospital.Those people using this facility are urged to write,
e-mail or fax Premier Jim Prentice and Health MinisterSteven Mandel.
This hospital is a vital part of the community and itserves many of us, whether for blood tests, emergen-cy services, x-rays, home care, respiratory services,physiotherapy, or in the area of patient care.With a new premier and health minister, now is a
good time to alert them to our needs. Perhaps thereis a small light at the end of the tunnel with the an-nouncement of the expansion of lab services in thephlebotomy area which will provide two sites fordrawing blood and thus shorten the wait time for cli-ents needing the service, and the undertaking of yetanother rural health study. We can only hope!

The Land Use Bylaw (LUB),a lengthy document that manyresidents wont face until theywant to build or demolish some-thing, was brought to councilon Sept. 17 to be rescinded andthe new one adopted.The bylaw, created in 1989,
had seen over 100 amendmentsand didnt include the annexedlands or other changes that havehappened.
So this reflects some newlegislation, some new direc-tions as well as consolidatingall of the past amendments thathave happened, said Pat Malo-ney, a contract planner with theTown of Strathmore. Land UseBylaw divides the municipalityinto districts. The bylaw does in-clude the method of making de-
cisions, the density and all theregulations for development.It does regulate the subdivi-
sion design standards, the size,height and area of buildings,the amount of land to be pro-vided around the buildings, theset-backs, the landscaping, theheight, location, maintenance offences and walls, establish andmaintenance of parking of load-ing facilities, design and charac-ter and appearance of buildings,location and amount of accessto lots and roads, making surethat theres appropriate access,lighting of land, signage, exca-vation, filling of land, wetlands
and other regulated uses, andoverall density of population.
The goal for the LUB is tocreate a document that is cur-rent, consolidated, relevant,user friendly, easy-to-read, flex-ible while setting clear regula-tions and one that meets all ofthe regulatory requirements,said Maloney.
Some of the changes in thedocument include increaseddensity, the Calgary Metropoli-tan Plan requires its partners tryto achieve 8-10 units per acredensity.
One recommendation is that
the R3 district now be calledhigh density district. High den-sity isnt always an apartment
form, said Maloney, it could betownhouse, or a stacked town-house. It doesnt have to be tra-ditional apartment building.
One of the things adminis-tration looked at in the down-town is (in the R3 district) theoverlay you can actually go to
six stories. However, the densitywouldnt have allowed that, soraising the density to 100 unitsper hectare would allow a de-veloper to build a six story unitif they want to and if they meetall of the other requirements.
Parking was another issuebrought forward. Parking for aone bedroom unit will be onespace, two bedroom 1.5, threebedroom units will be 1.75 andthen .15 parking per unit forvisitors.
When its development in thedowntown, were saying onespace per unit regardless of size
to encourage walking andwe think there could be sharedparking arrangements in thedowntown, said Maloney.
Councillor Denise Petersonworries having two bedroomunits with 1.5 parking stallscould become problematic inhigh density areas where trafficis already an issue.
She would like to see a limitto the 1.5 parking stalls depen-dent on the area, something shethinks should be considered inareas with limited parking.
Secondary suites have beenlisted as a discretionary use inall single family and duplex res-
ident districts. It will still be dif-ficult for people with an exist-ing home to turn their basementinto a secondary suite becauseof building code regulations;however, any of the buildersbuilding new homes can ensuretheyre built appropriately atthe time if the buyer so wishes.They will have to apply for adevelopment permit for discre-tionary use when doing so.
Licensed medical marijuanafacilities have also been includ-ed under the LUB.
This is something that thefederal government has ap-proved and if you dont stipu-late where they are not allowedthey could basically be overrid-
den by the federal governmentand put anywhere, said Malo-ney.Theyre not near schools, or
low density residential and willbe properly signed and fenced.
Councillor Bob Sobol broughtforward questions, concerns
and recommendations aboutthe proposed bylaw. One of theguidelines of the LUB states thatliquor stores cannot be within150 metres of a school, but So-bol questioned why locationsselling tobacco products arenot included in that. Tobaccoproducts are sold in many moreplaces, and means any of thegas bars backing onto residen-tial wouldnt be allowed to sellcigarettes, something the towndoesnt regulate, said Maloney.
Sobol questioned grandfa-thering the current stores sell-ing tobacco near schools, stat-
ing it wouldnt affect any of thepresent stores.I agree 100 per cent, but I am
just not sure I have ever seen aLand Use Bylaw regulate ciga-rette sales. One of the problemswith that is we do try and en-courage the reintroduction ofconvenience stores back intoresidential areas and they allsell cigarettes, said Maloney.
If we do put it in, and evenif we say its grandfathered, itsnot really grandfathered, whatyoure making then is youremaking the existing conve-nience stores and gas bars non-conforming. If they burnt down
they couldnt sell cigarettes ifthey built up again.
It will limit the types of storesthat will come into communityareas because tobacco salesare an important part to manyconvenience store sales. Ma-loney said she couldnt say itwould stop them from buildingor opening, but that it will bea unique restriction. The possi-bility of adding that regulationto the bylaw will be researchedand brought back for councilsconsideration.The LUB was passed with
Peterson voting opposed. Shewanted more time to go overthe document before casting afavourable vote.
New Land Use Bylaw approved

ATCO signed a three-year partnership with Siksika NationCommunity Cadet Corps on Sept. 23.The program is a community-based initiative for at-risk
youth and ATCO has come on board to support this youthplan.
Constable Todd Depagie of the Gleichen RCMP, who isthe commanding officer with the Cadet Corps, could not bemore thrilled to see ATCO donate to community organiza-tion such as this one.
Just for a brief history of the what the Cadet Corps is,its part of the Alberta Community Cadet Corps group, saidDepagie. The initial one started in 2005 in Hobbema andthey started the program there to combat gang activity.Gangs were recruiting young kids, the RCMP started up acadet program there and started getting the kids into ca-dets.
Once that was underway they were able to brag heywere the biggest gang in Hobbema now. They had over 100cadets show up on a weekly basis and over 1,000 registeredat one point.The Siksika Nation started their Cadet Corps last year and
really want youth to get involved as it will boost ones self
esteem and discipline.Cpl. Pascal Richard was doing some of the background
on that. He heard about the Cadet Corp success that hap-pened up in Hobbema and so he started meeting and part-nered with Siksika Justice, said Depagie. Then I came inhere just in May of last year and along with Pascal we gotthe Cadet Corps up and running.
Depagie has really embraced the kind of support the Sik-sika community has been able to give to the Cadet Corps.
So far its been great, the support from the community isoutstanding. Were going to be forming our formal societyvery shortly kids seem to love it, it gives them a place tobe (it is) just tremendous here, said Depagie.
The age group for Cadet Corps is from 11-17, but if youare older, there is the possibility of being recruited to be-come a leader.

REMEMBERINGSUMMER FUN!
It was a beautiful day to sitoutside and relax; the sun washot, the air was calm. I couldhear children a few doorsdown playing in the yard.Although I could not see theaction I knew there was waterinvolved I pictured a pool.I could hear much splashingabout and I sensed the energyand enthusiasm of youth.Needless to say, they wereusing their outside voices.What a perfect summer day!Then mom came out and rep-rimanded them. The volumedid go down a notch as didthe energy of the game.I was thinking, the childrenwere having such fun asonly children do in a backyardin summer with water. In afew short years they may nolonger want to play at home enjoy them mom. The momentwill pass all too quickly.I got to thinking how easy itis for us to get caught up in
the moment. We have to takean intentional step back andpause to even get a glimpse at
the big picture. We get caughtup in the day-to-day grind cooking, cleaning, disci-plining, guiding, producing the list goes on. I think that isone of the blessings of beinga grandparent by positionyou are a step back. That stepallows a wider field of visionand you are able to see abigger picture.The big picture. It is a blessingwhen you are able to seemore than the moment. Thatis why a friend that is a goodlistener is so wonderful theyare able to listen to your woesand troubles a step removedand as such may offer a wiseword.Friends are not always avail-able to listen when you needan ear so it is a great comfortto know that God, the ultimatebig picture visionary, is alwaysthere, 24/7 to hear whateveryou need to say. Trusting thatGod is loving and will be withyou whatever befalls, in themoment and in the long run, isa gift worth receiving.

We are geared towards 11 to 17 yearolds, however once they hit 18 we dostill want to retain them as a leader,said Depagie. If there are people thatare 18 and older that are interestedin the program then we want to trainthem as a leader and its a way for them
not only to be involved in youth but togive back in some way.When the Cadet Corps meet, you can
see them working on drills, which isa very important part of the programbecause it shows teamwork.
Mike Buxton, General Manger ofCalgarys ATCO Northeast division wasvery pleased to be on hand to com-mence the partnership.
Well we look at the communitiesand see where we are the best fit andwe want to benefit the entire commu-nity, not just the smaller groups with-in, said Buxton. We feel this is just afantastic group benefit (for) the wholecommunity, so our support is goingwhere we feel its utilized.
ATCO gets involved with many FirstNation Community Corps and whenthe Siksika Cadet corps came aboutlast year, the decision was easy to getinvolved with this one too.
Were supporting Cadet Corps inother first nation communities as welland we became aware of this one that
started up last year, so were like hey lets get involved withthis one too, said Buxton.
It was a financial donation that went towards the corpsprogram, but the total could not be released because ATCOis working with other First Nations Communities with thesedonations.
Siksika Cadet Corps meets from 4:30-7 p.m. every Tuesday

The Strathmore Cubs are agroup that is taught about theirnatural surroundings. The groupgot to experience that when they
went on a tour of the Eagle LakeNurseries on Sept. 27.
So were here at Eagle LakeNurseries to learn a little bitmore about our environmentand some of our local business-es that deal with environmentalthings such as growing trees,
said Allison Israels, Cubs Leader.One of the key factors of being
a Cub is knowing all about yourenvironment because you play afactor whether its a positive oneor a negative one.The visit to the nursery was all
a bout how trees and plants playa role in the Cubs lives.The leaders want to teach the
kids how leave a piece of naturethe way it is without disturbingits surroundings.
We want to leave an areathe way we left it, said Israels.So if you walked into a forest,
you dont want to be taking out
stones, animals or any kind ofobject because we want to walk
in, appreciate our environmentand then walk and leave it forsomebody else to enjoy.A normal Cubs meeting can be
different each time as there area wide variety of activities thatoccur.
Our normal meetings areanywhere from games to skits,learning songs, doing art proj-ects, environmental studies,said Israels.
Cubs meet on Tuesday nightsfrom 6:30-8 p.m. at the Quon-set behind the Strathmore Civic
Centre. The age for Cubs is forboys and girls ages 7-10.

MARIO PRUSINA
Times Reporter
After nearly 10 years of owning thelocal Ford dealership, Byron Smith islooking forward to a new chapter inhis life.
Even though the auto industry is inhis blood, the 54-year-old Smith soldhis prized company to the Kaizen Au-tomotive Group, effective Oct. 1.
I would say that ithas been a very fruit-ful 25 years (in theautomotive business) it has been heart-warming, said Smith.It has allowed me topursue goals and ac-tions that have takenme to all seven con-tinents, that have al-lowed me to embracedifferent cultures and geography.
Ive grown and gone on through dif-ferent phases of my life in the automo-
tive industry.On his way up in his career, includ-
ing roles as a parts manager and gen-eral sales manager, Smith purchasedhis first dealership on Sept. 1, 1989 inVulcan, before buying the local Forddealership on Jan. 15, 2005.
It was a goal of his to own a dealer-ship before he was 30 years old andwith a lot of hard work, he achievedthat goal a year early.
Im most proud of the professional-ism (at this dealership), he said. Whena customer comes in here, they can re-ally feel there is trust and a relation-ship that will matter to them. We takepride in how we handle their (needs).According to Smith, it was tough to
make the decision to finally step aside.I was approached many, many times
from people to purchase Strathmores(dealership) from me in the last num-ber of years alone, Ive had at least 20people calling me and every time I saidno, said Smith. In the last year, Ivehad to take a really a hard look at itand recognize that half of my life hasbeen in this business.
This is the best time to sell a Forddealership our prod-uct is amazing, wevedone the renovationon the facility, wehave a good reputa-tion and we have avery good staff. I hadto look at it pragmati-cally, I had to look atit long-term and un-derstand this oppor-tunity doesnt come
around everyday.With his business knowledge and be-
ing in a rare group that has climbed
Mount Everest, Smith will now focushis time on his motivational speakingbusiness. He also plans to write a bookin the near future. He is looking for-ward to spending time with family andfriends, particularly his son, Zach.According to Smith, while it is tough
to leave, he assures customers that theywill remain in good hands as the staffassembled at the dealership is second-to-none. He is confident that the newownership group will continue the suc-cessful tradition he helped create.
Im proud of our growth (as a busi-ness) in this community, said Smith.We take a lot of pride in giving backto the community of Strathmore andWheatland County.

Shelf Genie, an innovative way ofutilizing all the space in your cabinets,has made its way to Western Canadaand is available to all Strathmore andarea residents.
I was looking into the kind of busi-
ness I wanted to run for myself and Iwas looking at all different ones thatwere out there. I kind of had my ownset of requirements and in amongstthings as most important to me is tokind of do things in the way where Ican look at myself in the mirror everymorning and feel good about it, saidGreg Billson, who had spent 30 yearsas an IT tech.A common problem almost every
home owner or renter can relate to ishaving shelves that cant be utilized100 per cent, or ones where you haveto get down on your hands and kneesjust to try and pull something out of it.
Cabinets are typically designed tolook really, really nice but theyre notnecessarily designed to function reallywell and so normally the insides aremaybe a bit bare, said Billson.
Shelf Genie provides almost the bestof both worlds because they can looknice on the outside but actually alsofunction on the inside too.
Its also less physically straining.The interesting thing is quite of-
ten they get more space rather thanless, said Billson. The reason for thatis when we kind of look in a typicalpantry what youre going to find is awhole pile of air that isnt doing any-thing. The reason that air is there notdoing anything is because you need tobe able to reach in, youve got to havespace for your hands to get in and out.You still cant see whats in there, butat least you can reach with your handsand pull things and put them back inagain, and it gets kind of messy.

It was a surreal moment for Carse-land native Jordan Ostrom on Sept. 25when she found out she was the win-ner of the ATB All Albertan Song Writ-ing Contest. Ostrom, who goes by thename Sykamore professionally, won$10,000 with the title,with her track Heavenin the Pines.
It was pretty surre-al when we found outthat I was first, saidOstrom.
I was with mymom in a hotel inNashville and we hadto tune in to CKUA onthe internet, I had togo to the website, itwas a total nail-biter.I was in the Top 2 with T. Buckley andthe online voting was really close so itwas impossible to tell who was going
to win.This was the fourth year for the con-test, which encourages local songwrit-ers to write and record a song aboutAlberta and being an Albertan.
Ostrom was at Winos in downtownCalgary with her manager when oneof his friends, who had joined them,mentioned the ATB contest after find-ing out she writes her own music.That was about a month before
the deadline. She had then forgottenabout it until one day she was homeand it crossed her mind. She thought
maybe she would tryand write something,what did she haveto lose? After mak-ing sure the deadlinehadnt passed, she gotto work.
So I wrote the songon the Friday, andthen I went to myparents house and re-corded it in my closeton the Saturday and Isent it off to be mixed
and mastered. I had the final productback to me the afternoon that I wassupposed to submit it, said Ostrom.
The idea for the song and the titlecame from a driving trip she had takento Seattle in May with a friend.
I just remember that glorious mo-ment when we crossed over the bor-
der back into Canada and I was justso happy. It was partly because oftechnology, (not relying on WiFi any-more) but it was also because theressomething about crossing the border,the landscape just gets that much morebeautiful. I dont know what it is, may-be its just familiarity or whatever butmy friend and I were just really excit-
ed, said Ostrom.On the way back to Calgary they
stopped in Longview, pulling over totake pictures, and she remembered thephrase, Heaven in the pines runningthrough her head. She had logged itaway thinking it would be useful for asong one day. That trip and the memo-ry of it is what inspired the song, saidOstrom. Heaven in the Pines is aboutthat feeling and excitement you getwhen youve been outside of Alberta,or Canada, missing it, and you knowyoure getting close to home.
The money Ostrom won will be usedtowards her career for things like re-cording, tours and other expenses
as they come down the road. If youhavent heard anything by Sykamore,be sure to check out her Facebookpage where you can finds links to hersongs, including Heaven in the Pines.
Local musician Sykamore wins $10K
which means things can be spaced justfar enough apart that it can all fit withjust the right amount of space in be-tween because you dont need spaceto put your hand in any more, you canjust slide the drawer out.
Barb Fath, a Strathmore resident, andher husband moved into a home in theRanch and found they had two blind
corner cabinets that they were havingproblems using.
My husband and I, we looked every-where to figure out how we could putsomething in ourselves, and then wewent to one of the home shows andmet Greg and he just had the perfectsolution for it, said Fath.To find out if ShelfGenie will work
for you call 1-888-663-3818, or e-mailGreg Billson directly at [email protected].

The Wheatland Warriors put in twovery honest road efforts this past week-end.They punished a weaker opponent
in the Crowsnest Pass 12-1 on Sept. 27,but the next day, they were up againsta much stiffer opponent in Cranbrook,
where they lost 6-2.The game in Crowsnest Pass saw
the local double-A bantam team play afull 60 minutes, but the focus lacked atpoints in the game because of the blow-out.
Definitely a weaker team, we kind ofcame out flat footed for the first period.(We) werent getting many pucks outand not generating much offense. Afterthat, we talked to the guys after the firstperiod and they came out and the in-tensity was up and started scoring goals
because of it , said Warriors assistantcoach Justin Fraser.The coaches preached that even
though it was a weaker team to keeppushing and dont stand back.
I just told them because its a weak-er team, you dont want to take a nightoff, said Fraser. It just creates bad hab-its for the guys and you can get some

The Strathmore Wheatland Kings
hosted the Stettler Lightning in theirhome opener on Sept. 27 at the
Strathmore Family Centre. On hand
for the ceremonial faceoff were Stet-
tler Lightning Captain Mark Dietz (l-
r), Strathmore Minor Hockey LeaguePresident Blair Wilson, Strathmore
Mayor Michael Ell and StrathmoreWheatland Kings Captain Blake Bish-
op. The Kings defeated Stettler 8-3,
improving to 3-0 on the season.
The excitement was felt in the crowdright from the player introduction tothe final buzzer.
Head coach Jeremy Blumes reallyliked what he saw from his team, butadmits there were times where the fo-cus was too much on the extra circu-lars on the ice.
For the first home game I thoughtfor the first period we were focusedand I thought the second period wegot distracted with things that wereout of our control, said Blumes. Ithink in the third period we got closerto what were capable of.The Wheatland Kings jumped out to
the early lead just 1:14 into the gamewhen Matt Thomson opens the scor-ing. Then a short time later, Sebastian
Turgeon made it 2-0 and then Stettlerwas able to get one back. Local prod-ucts Lucas Jones and Cody Willis add-ed back-to-back markers and Jay Man-ning added another one to make it 5-1Kings at the end of one.
Blumes and his staff had talked tothe team at the intermissions about thethings that they can control and things
that are out of their grasps and for theleaders to step up and settle the teamdown
We talked about just focusing onthings we can control versus things wecant, said Blumes. I also think ourleadership group did a good job of set-tling those guys down and Lucas is a
big part of that.The Kings did get into some penal-
ty trouble including killing off a sev-en-minute penalty in the middle frame.
It was huge, I thought we did agood job working on this in practice
on special teams and the boys did agood job on stopping and starting, get-ting their sticks in the lane and your
best penalty killer is always youregoalie, said Blumes.
He also added that it was encourag-ing to see the team cheer each otheron despite all the penalties.
Stettler was able to get two in inthe second before the Kings Brett Du-maine replied with a shorthanded tal-ly, which made it 6-3 Kings after two.
In the third, Justin Kostiuk notched apower play marker and Willis was ableto wrap up the scoring with his secondof the night.
Strathmore product Lucas Jonescould not have been more excited toplay in front of the hometown crowd,as it added some extra motivation toplay well.
Im from Strathmore and this ismy first home game in two and a half
years since midget, said Jones. Itsdefinitely very exciting and yo
