Students at Sacred Heart Academy and Holy Cross Collegiate were in for a treat on Jan. 23 when MLA Arno Doerk-son, Dave Rodney, Parliamentary Assis-tant for Health and Wellness, and Ag-riculture Minister Evan Berger toured their schools.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for both people in government and people in the public to come together. We can find out what the needs of different communities are across the province and that’s really what it’s all about,” said Rodney.
“The last thing that my colleagues and I ever want to be guilty of is spending too much time under the dome of the ivory tower. The more people come to know our MLAs, the more they come to know they are ordinary Albertans just like the other folks in their community.
“We definitely have a focus, a pas-sion, expertise and experience in mak-ing life better for Albertans but in order to do that completely, effectively, we need to have one-on-one time with in-dividuals.”
Spending time at the schools and see-ing first hand some of the issues being faced, such as space challenges, helps bring a new perspective to caucus ac-cording to Berger.
“It’s one thing for somebody to ex-press what they see in the overcrowd-ing, or the difference in their schools or any of these on the ground issues. When you talk about it, as opposed to coming out and actually visualizing it and seeing it, it’s a big difference. You get a good understanding, you get a good understanding from people that are advocating on behalf of the students here…and it just fills in whatever ques-tions you may have had,” said Berger.
“Education is an extremely important priority for the province, it is for all of our communities, we’re all Albertans and we know that Strathmore, this area is growing rapidly. There’s pressures for space, for capacity so this particu-lar stop was based around that,” said Doerkson.

“I think there is great opportunity in the province. We know that it’s an ex-citing year, there’s going to be an elec-tion this year, so we know that’s com-ing within the next few months.
“I just see a lot of opportunity for our province and also for this area as
it grows and as we continue to work together communities to address the challenges that we face and turn those into opportunities. It continues to be a privilege to work together with our communities, to see things happen.”
After touring the schools the men then headed off to the Wheatland County offices to meet with the con-
stituents and hear their concerns. Communities throughout the province had a chance to speak to government officials during the province-wide cab-inet tour Jan. 23 to 26. The focus of the tour was to listen to members of the community about local issues, to hear their plans and hope for the future, both provincially and locally.

Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish and considered the national dish of Scotland. Haggis is a kind of savory pudding containing sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, then minced with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices. Traditionally it is encased in the animal’s stomach and simmered for hours,
however most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than the stomach.
Bruce Bishop with the Strathmore Lions has recently been elected to District Governor.

Bruce Bishop, a Strathmore Lion, can look forward to be-ing busy after being elected to the position of District Gov-ernor at the Lions Convention held in Strathmore on January 13 and 14. There were just over 200 Lions and Leos Present.
“In our Multiple District 37, the Strathmore Lions is in the District called 37-O. We have 51 clubs in our district, and I’ll be the District Governor of those 51 clubs,” said Bishop.
He said the Strathmore Lions Club is a part of a greater multiple district which includes all of Alberta, part of British Columbia, all of Montana. There are approximately 1515 members in the Strathmore District. The District Governor has to visit every club during the year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. They must also attend four Council and Cabinet meetings as well as many Charter Nights, Conventions and Leadership Rally’s.
Bishop has been a Lion for 37 years, coming to Strathmore in 1984. He had been a member of the RCMP and when he was transferred from Brooks to Elk Point, east of Edmonton, there wasn’t a Kinsmen Club there, which he had been a member of for five years in Brooks, so he joined the Lions and has been a member ever since.
Service and helping the community are two of the things he likes most about being a Lion. The Strathmore Lions host the senior’s breakfast during Heritage Days at the hospital, and have two food booths at the rodeo grounds. They also host the town Christmas party, and the seniors Christmas party at the Civic Centre. The Lions are good supporters of the Children’s Wish functions. They also take part in the Relay for Life by being a sponsor and cooking the pancake breakfast.
In April there is the Ladies and Gentlemen’s Auction to raise money as one our projects.
“The Lions is the largest single service organization in the world. We are co-ed, multicultural. We have over 40,000 clubs in 206 countries and 1.35 million members give or take a few, and we are the only service club in China,” said Bishop.
When a natural disaster strikes, such as a tsunami or earth-quake, there is the Lions International Fund. The District Governor of the affected area can request assistance from the fund, and the Lions are first on the ground providing as-sistance where needed, as there is usually a club in the area.
“One hundred per cent of any funds donated to Lions that

“THE GRID”
This is one of the tools we use to quote you. Basically when you have no driver or insurance history, you start at a ‘0’ on the grid. For every year you have a license, and drive claim free, you go down one level on the grid. For every level you go down, you save 5% on your liability to a maximum discount of 50% or -10 on the grid. You may wonder if the maximum savings are 50% , how can you have a grid level of -15?
The best level you can be on the grid is -15. You still have a 50% discount, but the benefit is

if you have a claim. If you are at fault for a claim, you go up 5 levels on the grid. So if you were -3 and had a claim, you would be a +2 on the grid. If you were -10 you would go to -5 (this is a savings of 25%), and if you were -15 you go to -10 (and still have your 50% discount!!)
What happens if you are in the + on the grid? You get surcharged 10% on your liability for each level you go up. Yikes!! ‘nuff said!

we make from our projects must be spent on the public, not on the members. There is absolutely no administration fee, 100 per cent is given to the public,” said Bishop.
The Strathmore Lions put in the Splash Park at Kinsmen Park, have always been a big supporter of the swimming pools, helped with the skateboard park, and also donate to a number of different groups around town.
Becoming a member is by invitation only, and people inter-ested must be of good moral character and 18 years of age, or older. The Strathmore Lions has sponsored a Leo’s Club, which is based out of Strathmore High School.
The Strathmore Lions currently have 54 members, and Bishop believes there are soon to be four or more new mem-bers, making it the fourth largest club in its district.
They have had four previous District Governors since be-coming chartered in 1939, and there is only one club in Cal-gary who has had more. In 2017 Lions International will be celebrating 100 years of service.

The Chinook Entrepreneur challenge is back for its eighth consecutive year. Community Futures and ATB Financial are partnering to support the business planning challenge. Out of the six or seven Community Future partners, with Wil-drose included, there have been approximately 500 people who have participated in the training sessions.
“It’s an excellent business training program and it really gives people a good opportunity to not only get some high quality training, but also to communicate with other like minded people during the training sessions and ask ques-tions,” said Ron Cox, General Manager for Community Fu-tures Wildrose Region.
“Anyone can take the training even if their sales are $10 million, but they can’t compete in the business plan competi-tion if their sales are over $2 million.”
Cox said there is usually 70 to 90 participants in the train-ing, and of that, only 25 to 30 per cent actually submit busi-ness plans for the competition.
“The most important element of this is the training that
you receive for your business. That’s where the real benefit comes from,” said Cox.
“Most people when they’re starting out don’t know where to start, and you really have to start with planning. Planning saves you just so much effort and misdirected effort. It just really helps to stop and think, and there are a lot of people out there that would like and want to start their own busi-ness.”
Participants will learn the business basics, such as market-ing, creating a business plan, accounting, financial, adver-tising, and cash flow. Cox said it is pretty much the whole gamut of what is needed to execute an expansion, retention, a re-organization or putting a new business into place.
Anyone who participates in the challenge will have a chance to compete for the grand prize of $10,000. There are also numerous in-kind prizes. Training sessions will be held at the Community Futures Wildrose office, and will go from Feb. 1 to March 28. Registration is free, and the eight ses-sions will be held every Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Business plans are due April 30, 2012 and the final awards presentations will take place on June 14, 2012.

Promoting healthy living now that will follow our children into the future is just one reason why Strathmore resident Kelly MacDonald offers children’s yoga classes.
“I teach adult yoga classes and it was just something that intrigued me. I just know how busy kids are right now, with all of their sports and everything,” said MacDonald.
“I thought this would be, as much as it is somewhat fit-ness related, it’s more about flexibility and slowing down, and just taking time for themselves, they don’t get that time anymore and it was more about that.”
It all began about two years ago when MacDonald took her certification through an international company called ‘Rainbow Kids Yoga.’
“I went to Seattle and took the training, the gentleman’s name is Gopala and he travels worldwide to teach, to in-struct instructors. The closest place at that time for me was Seattle,” said MacDonald.
Some of the children who participate in her classes may come with friends, and some may not know anyone. She said it is also like having a peer support group. Since she began offering the program, MacDonald says she has had a good turnout. Some of the kids return for new classes, and there are a few kids who started in the three to five age group who have moved up into the next age group.
MacDonald runs the program out of her home, and teach-es children ages three to 14. The younger kids have a 30 minute class, while the older groups take part in a one hour class.
“We get a little more advanced, but we also do lots of stuff through games. I’ll teach a little bit of a class and then the ones who have been coming for awhile I’ll say, ‘alright, your turn you guys. Get together as a group and this is what I want you to do’,” said MacDonald.
What she calls a pose for an adult class is not necessarily what she would call it in a kids class, and MacDonald said
Promoting healthy lifestyles
everything is the same but different.MacDonald said there are lots of boys taking her classes,
which she finds interesting, some of which are hockey play-ers. Yoga provides the kids with knowledge about how their body works, and how they can fix it if they have any dis-comfort.
Classes have already begun, but anyone looking for infor-mation can contact Kelly MacDonald at 403-629-7465 or via email at [email protected].

Council votes in favour of latest highway proposalShannon LeCLair Times Reporter
Council has made their deci-sion to support the final re-align-ment proposal for Highway 1. Councillor Blokland made a mo-tion to support the proposal, and for administration to draft a letter of support. Concerns related to the control and maintenance of the portion of the highway which will remain within Strathmore are to be determined at a later date.
Council also directed adminis-tration to draft a letter to Alberta Transportation requesting the realignment to be expedited to allow construction to begin as soon as possible.
A council committee will also be formed with the mandate of researching areas of concern. A few of these concerns include installing signs at Gleichen 22X and the east side of town, prior to the bypass. They would also like to see signs before Highway 9 and west of town to advertise services in town. Another request will be for Alberta Transportation to pave Highway 1 and all ser-vice roads adjacent to it before the town takes over.
Walking around Jamaica Graham Matsalla, Health Pro-
motion Facilitator with Alberta Health Services (AHS), and Lisa Sader with Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) spoke to council about promoting walking in the community, and across the prov-ince.
“The reason why Alberta Health Services wants to promote walking within the communities within the province is the con-cern over obesity,” said Matsalla.
The newest challenge HEAL is promoting is walking around the island of Jamaica. It’s a vir-
tual trek but participants have to walk, bike, run or swim around Jamaica and log their steps every-day. Anyone who gets to the end of the trek by the end of the 14 weeks will be entered to win a prize.
“I encourage you all to get out there and get moving,” said Sader.
“We’re hoping to start a walk-ing school bus for Brentwood School because that’s a school most of the students should be able to walk to.”
To help give council a bit of a boost, Sader presented Mayor Steve Grajczyk with a pedom-eter so he can begin tracking his steps.
The chilly weather may have some not wanting to venture out-side for a stroll, but there are op-tions.
There is indoor walking on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. at Trin-ity Lutheran Christian Academy, and the town has indoor walk-ing available at the Civic Centre in the morning. The contest starts Feb. 1 and will run until May 8, and anyone interested in finding out more information, or partici-pating can go to www.healourfu-ture.com
Canadian Badlands Council has moved to become

“I’m not behind this, I have never been behind this. I be-lieve the cost doesn’t justify the means, they want to call us the gateway to the Badlands and yet we’re substantially a long way away from it, as well as most of the other towns who are with it,” said Best.

I have no idea what “smart money” means, but I do know what “smart people” means. It means heart balanced with brains, passion merged with reason—like the people who work at ATB. Smart people coming together is where real creative solutions come from. Seriously, it’s who we look for, because it’s exactly what Alberta needs. If you’re one—or you want your banking handled by one—drop me a line.

Harvest Healing Center may soon be movingShannon LeCLair Times Reporter
The Harvest Healing Center may soon be relocating after council approved a land re-designation from Highway Com-mercial District to P1, Public Service Dis-trict.
The location of the site is at the corner of Highway 817 and the Canals Highway Commercial Area. Though the director of planning and development did not sup-port the application, in the end council approved the re-designation.
“With respect to the proposed use we did have some concerns with respect to the location. We are not against, obvi-ously, the ability to have church sites in town, it’s just unfortunately this location probably is not the best from our techni-cal analysis,” said Tammy Henry, Direc-tor of planning and development for the Town.
The area the Harvest Healing Center was asking to be re-designated is zoned and set out in the MDP to be an industri-al area. One of the first concerns for ad-ministration is the fact that the proposed land use amendment was not consistent with the Town Municipal Development Plan (MDP). Henry said though the MDP is a bit dated, it was created with the in-put of the citizens.
Henry said it is a statutory plan and administration is bound by the plan, be-cause it is a bylaw. She also mentioned that it would be cleaner to amend the
MDP prior to the proposed re-designa-tion.
Another concern was increased traf-fic, and the possibility of needing to add traffic signals. Henry said there were no concerns about building a facility, but preferred it be located on a different site which may meet their needs better.
“We are not looking to put millions of dollars into a building, a fancy building. A residential area would not allow us to put up a metal building that we are look-ing at, (it’s) not very likely because that’s not what they want sitting in a residential area,” said Pastor Elizabeth Karp, with the Harvest Healing Center.
She said public zoned land in a com-mercial area would allow them to put up a practical building, which fits the com-munity standards for the area.
“As far as the traffic light controlled in-tersection goes, at some point in time we have to do that, and maybe if we do it sooner than later it might help to develop that area a little quicker, if there’s proper access to and from that industrial area onto 817,” said Councillor John Rempel.
Both Mayor Steve Grajczyk and Coun-cillor Bob Sobol said they like the idea of having a church front and centre when people come into town.
“It’s always nice to see a church when you’re driving into town, I always thought that,” said Grajczyk.
The proposal was approved and given both second and third reading at the Jan. 18 council meeting.

These tips can help you improve the care you are giving to your loved one:
1. Don’t be afraid to ask your family and friends to help. Often, family and friends wish to help out but do not know where to start. Be specific about how they can help and remember to stay positive.
2. Check your eligibility for the Federal Government’s Compassionate Care Leave Program, which provides financial assistance for people caring for gravely ill family members.
3. Don’t rely on your memory - create a list of your loved one’s important documents and note the location of each. Include identification documents, financial documents, and wills and Power of Attorney documents. This will save time and frustration should an emergency arise.
4. If you are experiencing financial distress, ask your health care provider to refer you to a social worker who may be able to help address financial and other issues you are facing as a caregiver.
5. Ask your Pharmacist to prepare medication blister packs to help you keep track of the prescription medications you have to administer.
6. Give your loved one a sense of independence by encouraging them to complete grooming tasks on their own if possible, even if it would be quicker for you to do it for them.
7. To prevent falls in the bathroom, make sure there are at least two grab bars in the tub area and that the bath mat outside the tub has a rubber backing.
8. If your loved one cannot move in a bed, ensure that you turn them at least every two hours throughout the day to prevent bedsores.

To the EditorIt’s difficult for most Albertans to decipher the
complexities of Alberta’s deregulated electricity sys-tem, but it is not difficult to conclude that our so-called market based electricity system is not work-ing. One only needs to read the bottom line of last month’s electricity bill for confirmation.
Albertans were told sixteen years ago that it was in our best interest to dismantle one of the best-regulat-ed electricity systems in North America for a market based system that would lower the price of electric-ity. So how much longer do we wait?
Over the last couple of weeks industry repre-sentatives provided testimony to Premier Redford’s “Transmission Review Committee” hearings. The Al-berta Electric Systems Operator (AESO) and other industry representatives praised our market-based system as a shining example of the success of dereg-ulation. I have a question for these representatives ~ “What market based system?”
The AESO prices electricity approximately every two hours for Alberta’s wholesale electricity market. Every two hours generators offer to sell their electric-ity based on market demand. This is how the price is set, and it is called the stacking order. The stacking order is a simple creation of the AESO, and it favours the generators and transmission line companies at the expense of the average consumer. For example:
When the AESO requires 8,000 megawatts (MW) to supply the market for the next two hours, hydroelec-tric power might offer to provide 4000 MW of elec-tricity to Alberta’s market for FREE. Coal generators might offer to sell 3800MW for $45 dollars a mega-
watt. The remaining 200MW might be provided (bid) to the market by other suppliers for $450 a mega-watt. This completes the total 8000MW required by the AESO to meet the expected demand.
AESO accepts hydro’s offer first, and then accepts coal’s offer and so on. This is called stacking. How is this price passed along to the consumer? All the generation suppliers (hydro, coal, and the other sup-pliers) get paid the top rate of $450 a megawatt ~ regardless of what price they were willing to sell to the market! In this example, Alberta’s consumers don’t get the benefit of FREE hydroelectric power. Alberta’s consumers don’t get the benefit of $45 a megawatt from coal electricity. As long as demand remains close to the 8000MW level for the next two hours, consumers pay the full price as if the total 8,000MW cost $450 a megawatt, even though 50% of the electricity was offered for FREE and another 47.5% was offered for $45 a megawatt!
If this wasn’t bad enough, when hydro and co-gen-erated electricity in Alberta drive the wholesale price of electricity to $0MW (FREE), the AESO interferes and clears the market (cancels all bids). The bidding process then starts over again.
Alberta’s electricity system is not a market-based system. It is a scam that guarantees the maximum price for the lowest cost electricity! Consumers are victimized by this pricing mechanism. Alberta didn’t move to a deregulated system. Alberta went from a regulated system to a rigged system, and it’s time we unrigged Alberta’s electricity market!

How’s that electric bill working for you now?
Pat FuleFule for Thought
Most young men these days plan elaborate ways to ask their loved ones to marry them. In fact, if you go on YouTube and search “World’s Best Wedding Proposal … Movie Theatre,” you’ll see a brilliant one done by a young American guy.
You really do have to see it; or see the marriage proposal that was on “Mobbed” last season. Both of these examples only serve to make my own proposal that much more sad and pathet-ic! Before I bare my soul to you, let me just say that the 80’s were a strange decade, and I was a pretty naïve mountain boy from Canmore.
It was early 1984 and Debbie and I had been ring shopping where we both picked one she loved. Stupidly, the idea was: that I would pick up the ring on a certain Friday night, ask her to marry me, and we’d go to a nice restaurant for dinner. Then after this incredibly romantic event, we’d drive to Canmore and surprise our parents and Deb’s grandparents. Even THIS sounds pretty lame as proposals go, but wait, it gets worse!
The Friday arrived and I
packed up after school. Excited-ly, I raced to Calgary to Peoples’ Jewelers to pick up the massive “rock.”
Okay, it was a cluster of really small diamonds, but still expen-sive, for me! Now here’s where me, being a naïve bumpkin from the Rockies, comes into play. I arrived at Peoples’, showed my receipt, and was ready to meet Deb. Much to my shock and horror, the saleslady said I could not take possession of the ring until it was paid in full. I thought (like a car purchase back then), that you could put money down, get the ring, and pay it off. But no, Shirley (if that was her real name!) said I could not have the ring, as I still owed a large amount (I won’t bother telling you how much … that would be too painful).
Cell phones were not being used in 1984, so I slowly shuf-fled to a mall pay phone (again like The Green Mile), to face the music with Deb. After explain-ing the bad news, Deb replied … “where are you right now?”
I told her where I was (prob-ably should have lied), and she drove over. What happened next is still very painful for me. Deb paid for her own engagement ring in cash, and I had to pay
monthly payments to her until it was paid off!! We then did go out for dinner where I asked her to marry me, while parked out-side the restaurant. She prompt-ly turned me down, and told me “that’s not the way you’re sup-posed to ask me!”
I tried again, and I must have done it right, because she said “yes!”
So, let this be a lesson to all the young men planning to get engaged this year. Do it right, put some heart and thought into it … don’t be like me! Otherwise you’ll pay for it in more ways than one, and for a longer time!!
As a sidebar, I secretly bought a silver and diamond ring for our 25th anniversary, and sur-prised Deb before we went to Hawaii. She thinks it was ro-mantic … I just wanted to get rid of that other ring. It had way too much history!

vincial Hospital. She has one brother and one sister. Walt and Olive were married in August 1949, and have three daughters, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Walter and Olive lived on the original Hayes farm from 1949 to 1994 – becoming an integral part of the Glei-chen Community for 45 years. They were long term members of the Meadowbrook Com-munity Hall Board, The Gleichen Lions Club, The Curling Club, Home and School Association, and active members in the local square dance club.
As a member of the Eastern Star Lodge, Olive represented as Grand Esther, and travelled to different Star Chapters in Alberta.
In 2008, Olive, accompanied by three daughters and three grand-daughters, completed the Strathmore Triathlon. She still clogs with The Strathmore
Stompers in the winter, and plays golf in the summer.
Both enjoy their hobbies – for Walt it is his woodshop, while for Olive it is sewing and quilting.
Prior to retirement, they enjoyed travelling to Arizona in their motorhome, or cruising to differ-ent countries around the world. Since retire-ment, they have both enjoyed good health, good friends and their grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.(“Remembering our Past” is a bi-
weekly special column to The Strath-more Times

Walt Hayes’ parents were born in Idaho, and grew up and worked in the agriculture and livestock areas of that state. When they read the glow-ing adverts promoted by The Cana-dian Pacific Railway Co. stating “Come to sunny Alberta, Canada - and make your fortune, on 160 acres of irrigated land” - they came to investigate, and purchased property in 1907, in the Gleichen area. There were no roads, no trees, just wide open prairie.
Time marches on, and Walter arrives in 1924, to complete the Hayes family of four boys and two girls. He attended a rural, one room school at Shamrock, for Grades 1-9, followed by Grades 10-12 at Gleichen High School.
In July 1942, a farm accident result-ed in his father being hospitalized for three months. Because of WW2, there was a shortage of farm help, so Walt took over the general farm operation. As the years progressed, he became totally involved in the farm’s manage-ment, and started to gradually buy the farm. To further his education and farming ability, he attended the South-ern Institute of Technology (S.A.I.T.) in Calgary, from 1947 to 1949, and gradu-ated from courses on Agriculture, Me-chanics and Building Construction.
Around this time he was introduced to a Home Economics and Dietician student at S.A.I.T – Olive How. She was born in Saskatchewan in 1929,where her father was the livestock manager for the Provincial Government, and her mother was a nurse at Battleford Pro-

Masons secrets revealedSharon McLeayTimes Contributor
Some people think that the Masons are an organization of elite men with secrets, engaging in occult ceremo-nies.
Local Masons from the Strathmore/Gleichen membership, Brian Ireland and Jack McCulloch, want to set the record straight.
“We are not a secret society, we are a society of secrets and the only secret we have is how we recognize each other,” said Ireland.
The practise he says stems from earlier centuries, when Masons need-ed to remain anonymous for safety’s sake.
“In WWII, Masons were persecuted along with the Jews,” said Ireland.
They said it comes in handy today to recognize other members in new acquaintances that they may meet.
“We have everybody from the com-mon labourer up to leaders of coun-tries,” said McCulloch, talking about the Mason societies as a whole. The society believes in the equality of men; McCullough said the attainment of power and world domination is not on the agendas.
“We have members from all races and backgrounds,” said McCulloch about the local branch.
It is not a religious or political par-ty either, as the arguments that occur over these topics create animosity be-tween people and the group encour-ages harmony and peaceful discus-sion.
“In fact, we are forbidden to talk of those,” said McCullough.
“The only requirement is that appli-cants have a belief in a Supreme Be-ing. We don’t care what religion you
are,” said McCulloch.The organization’s purpose is to
help each other become better peo-ple, as each individual works on self-improvement projects, with encour-agements to study liberal arts and sciences without neglecting family duties.
The rituals only occur when mem-bers have graduated to a new degree, of which there are three. The award ceremony incorporates teaching and historical significance, rather than sinister objectives. Allegory and sym-bolism are often a part of ceremonies. Pictures of recent ceremonies held in the Badlands are at www.royalarch-masonsalberta.com.
There are companion organiza-tions, such as the Eastern Star, which is a similar organization with wom-en members, and the Masons link to children’s groups such as Job’s Daughters and deMoley’s Sons. Shri-ner groups are linked to the Masons, as well.
Gleichen and Strathmore Lodges sold their buildings, due to structural deterioration. If people are curious, they can look inside a lodge at Heri-tage Park in the summer. A Mason member is on hand to discuss any questions people may have.
The society is very involved in the community supporting projects like the hospital, swimming pool renova-tions, building projects and higher education funding. They are the sec-ond largest contributor to education bursaries in the province.
“Last year we donated over $100,000 to the Wheatland commu-nity,” said Ireland.
They have social events such fam-ily BBQ, picnics, and suppers such as the Robbie Burns dinner held at
Right: Get Your Kilt On - The masons invite ev-eryone out to listen to Scottish music, dancing, poetry and a sample of Haggis, on Jan. 27. Bot-tom: Black Thunder-The black light and neon drummers will appear at the Robbie Burns Night Supper being sponsored by the Strathmore and Gleichen mason Society.

Gleichen hockey day returns for a third yearShannon LeCLair Times Reporter
Pond Hockey has proven to be suc-cessful in Gleichen, and this February they will be hosting the third annual Hockey Day in GA. Cara Sheppard, coordinator of the program is hoping to see 150 kids come out and partici-pate. In preparation of the big day, the Cluny Fire Department has been helping the Gleichen Fire Department with flooding the three outdoor rinks.
“Two outdoor ice surfaces are the same as last year and the third one is an outdoor rink that was donated from Red Deer Pond Hockey and a gentleman by the name of Mac Smith volunteered his time to go pick it up for us,” said Sheppard.
There is also a fourth rink, an in-door one that will also be used for the event.
Last year a chinook blew through, making things quite wet and messy for all of the participants and putting a bit of a damper on the day. Sheppard said, “As long as the weather does what it’s supposed to and doesn’t get too cold and doesn’t get too warm, I would be quite happy.”
Last year the RCMP brought a ra-
dar gun to measure the speed of kids’ shots, and though it isn’t confirmed as of yet, Sheppard is hoping they will again.
Kids from all over the province have been taking part in Canada’s favourite game, hockey.
“So there’s 2,600 kids in Hockey Alberta’s Pond Hockey currently, and we got 22 new programs started this year for a total of 47 all together all the way across the province,” said Sheppard.
Since the 2010/2011 season, num-bers have increased by 30 per cent.
Hockey Day in GA will take place Feb. 11, and it’s a $5 cost for each par-ticipant. The registration fee will see each player receive three shinny style games, lunch, and leave with a tour-nament souvenir.
For any players who are not cur-rently insured through Hockey Al-berta, the Hockey Day is supported by Hockey Alberta with the ‘Bring a friend’ program. With the program players are covered for insurance for the event.
For registration information call Cara Sheppard 403-734-3515 or email [email protected]. Registration deadline is Jan 31/2012.
Children’s author visits Standard SchoolManny everett Times Contributor
Children’s author Michael Wade from Strathroy, Ontario visited Stan-dard School’s students from grades three through to nine last week.
Wade read excerpts from his se-ries of books called “And Then It Happened”. Since its publication in the fall of 2003, this best selling se-ries has been entertaining students across North America. “And Then It Happened” is a laugh-out-loud series that is guaranteed to get kids read-ing.
In the 2010-2011 school year, Mi-
chael had the pleasure of visiting 300 schools, making him one of Canada’s busiest guest authors. Students and staff alike enjoy his dynamic, humor-ous presentation which focuses on the power of words and the fun and importance of reading.
Wade travels throughout Canada visiting schools and talking to stu-dents. His dynamic, highly enter-taining presentation not only mo-tivates students to become better readers and writers, but encourages reading for the fun of it.
For more information about the au-thor and his books you can contact him at [email protected]

ThefT from vehicles On Oct. 29, 2011, the Strathmore RCMP responded to
multiple theft from vehicle complaints in and around the Strathmore area. The property reported stolen included mobile GPS units, a satellite radio, a radar detector, and a .22 caliber firearm. Since October 2011, Investigators completed a lengthy investigation which resulted in the search of a Strathmore residence.
As a result of the search, Investigators recovered a quantity of the stolen property related to the thefts from vehicles and obtained sufficient evidence to charge two males. Jesse Kemp (18), and Cody Smith (20) both from Strathmore have been charged with five counts of theft under $5000.
Jesse Kemp is scheduled to appear at Provincial Court in Strathmore in February 2012. Cody Smith has since fled the province and is believed to be in British Columbia. An arrest warrant has been issued for Smith.
The .22 caliber firearm has not been recovered to date.
Anyone with information pertaining to this, or any other incident and wish to remain anonymous are encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
The RCMP would also like to take this opportunity to remind residents to keep their vehicles locked and not to leave any valuables inside.

After extensive searching, Gleichen RCMP have not been able to locate the rightful owner or the location of the gravestone. The Gleichen RCMP would like to have this gravestone returned to its rightful location and are requesting the public’s assistance.

Encouraging a new generation of chefsShannon LeCLair Times Reporter
The Chef program, just one of many the Youth Club of Strathmore offers, received had a helping hand, making it more affordable. The Youth Club is formerly known as the Boys and Girls Club of Airdrie, Strathmore chapter.
Tina Shipley, owner of Tina’s No Frills in Strathmore, has been donat-ing gift cards to the program so they may purchase the food for the classes.
“They approached me to help with the cost of food, I’ve always thought the Boys and Girls Clubs were a great program for young people, and the idea of helping with the cost of food, that makes it a lot more affordable so all kids can participate,” said Shipley.
“It’s getting them started into things that keep them occupied, and when you start with young people and you teach them a skill that’s needed lat-er in life, they are more apt to be at home making muffins than out smok-ing crack. These are the skills that
carry them through life.”The program, which normally runs
for eight weeks, currently has five kids in each group.
There is a group for children ages 6 to 8, and the second group is for kids 9 to 12. The once-a-week classes have been running out of the Lord of All Lutheran Church.
“We’re hoping to have all the other programs running out of the youth centre next time around, after REVS,” said Colina Clark, Program Coordina-tor for the Youth Club.
Karin Ewashen is the program vol-unteer who leads the Chef program. She has been teaching the kids kitch-en safety, while teaching them how to make yummy treats.
“Once Karin finds a great recipe, the first task is to review it as a group ensuring that everyone understands the directions and measurements fol-lowed by washing their hands, before even going in the kitchen. Then they jump in and do it,” said Clark.

The Youth Club of Strath-more has had a helping boost from Tina’s No Frills with their Chef Program. Tina Shipley has been donating gift cards to her store to the program, so they can buy the supplies to make yummy, nutri-tious food. On Jan. 17 the kids were learning how to make apple cinnamon muffins. Front: Cian Clark, left, Quinten Bishop, Cody Holdaway. middle: Karin ewashen, left, pro-gram volunteer, Julie-Ann Gerbrandt.

dents with an opportunity to learn nutritional best practices, cooking, health and safety in the kitchen, hygiene and how to make healthy eating choices in a fun, safe environment.
The program will be avail-able in two eight week ses-sions held within the pro-gram months of March to June.
The Youth Club will be at REVS on Feb. 8, and regis-tration will begin on Feb. 13 for members and Feb. 15 for non-members.
They are also currently recruiting for program fa-cilitators/leaders. Contact Colina Clark for application details at [email protected] or 403-324-4521.

Did You Know? Robbie Burns is widely regarded as a national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising them,
and it was Robbie Burns who wrote the poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne.
Until 1603, Scotland (like England) had its own Monarch? And in 1603, the King of Scotland also became the King of England, ruling both countries.

A different type of love story comes to RosebudShannon LeCLair Times Reporter
A home burglary doesn’t sound like it would be the recipe for love, but in John Kolvenbach’s Love Song that’s exactly what happens.
A woman named Molly, played by Lauren de Graaf, burglarizes Beane, played by Conrad Belau. Belau said Beane, who is kind of a recluse, goes to his apartment one night and there’s a woman sitting there with all of his possessions. She sees some-thing in him and is really taken by him and they just fall in love with each other at that moment.
“It’s really funny, it’s very dramatic and it’s really moody, it’s a deeply ro-mantic play and being a romantic at heart I was like, well this is the play for me,” said Conrad Belau, who is producing the play as his student fi-nal project.
Being on stage is nothing new for the Saskatchewan native.
“To be honest it’s all I have real-ly ever known, I grew up acting in church musicals that my mom di-rected and then I moved on to public school performances,” said Belau.
“It’s just the one thing that really people noticed me, and I was kind of the high school nerd and…I was just not very noticed. When I was on stage people would notice me, and
they would laugh, and I was like oh this is what I’m meant to do.
“When I was in Rosebud I realized it was more than just being noticed, it was about actually having a voice, and having something to share. This is the role that I need to play in my life, this is what I’m going to be do-ing with my life hopefully.”
Belau’s most memorable perfor-mances on the Rosebud Theatre Stage have been ‘Jake and the Kid,’ ‘A Bright Particular Star,’ and ‘The Se-cret Garden.’ Belau said his favou-rite role was when he was in “Jake and the Kid’, when he had a chance to work opposite Nathan Schmidt and Mike Thiessen. He said while the role was enriching, the two men were also really fun to work with.
“It was just a really awesome sum-mer experience. Ninety-eight shows can seem tiresome, it seems like a lot, but when you’re in the middle of it you just have to go for it,” said Belau.
Belau plans to go where the work takes him, saying he would like to work in Vancouver or return home to Saskatoon.
Love Song can be seen on the Rosebud Studio Stage Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m. or at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on the 28. Tickets are available at the door, or in advance by calling 403-479-8639.

After defeating the Calgary Northstars on the road 6-5 on Jan. 19, the UFA Bisons earned a 2-2 tie versus the Calgary Buffaloes on Jan. 22 at the Strathmore Family Cen-tre. The Buffaloes scored on two penalty shots, stealing the tie with just 21 second left in the game.

Mario Prusina Times Editor
With the added motivation of playing a pair of divisional rivals, the UFA Bisons snapped a four-game losing streak by playing some of their best hockey of the New Year.
The local triple-A midget team defeat-ed the Calgary Northstars 6-5 on Jan. 19 at the Max Bell Centre, before earning a hard-fought 2-2 draw against the Calgary Buffaloes on Jan. 22 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
“We’ve come a long way in the last two to three weeks,” said Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen. “That’s probably our most complete game (against the Buffs) since the Mac’s. It’s finally looking like our team is back, so there is definitely a lot more positives to take out of that than nega-tives.”
The Bisons started the pair of games with a solid win over the Northstars. In a back-and-forth battle, the Bisons pulled through with three goals in the third pe-riod to secure the win.
Josh Betinol scored once and added two assists, while Mitch McAllister chipped in with a goal and an assist. Parker Ev-ans-Campbell, Kevin O’Rourke, Conner Bleackley and Owen Ferguson also tallied for the herd, while Tyler Wong recorded two assists.
“It was a strange game – we got up early and let them back into it,” said the coach. “We got a little undisciplined and started making soft plays. It was back and forth.
“What I liked about (that game) is ev-ery time we got scored on, we kind of bounced back and got one the next shift. We started doing some good things.”
The Bisons had revenge on their mind when they returned home to face the third-placed Calgary Buffaloes.
Tyler Wong opened the scoring with 3:51 left in the first period, when he con-verted a feed from Betinol and Bleackley on the power play.
Aaron Macklin extended the lead to 2-0 when he took a pass from Wong with 6:41 left in the second period.
The Bisons looked to ice the game in the third period when they had an extend-ed four-on-three power play. However, in-stead of scoring the third goal, the hockey gods had other ideas.
The Bisons gave up a shorthanded breakaway, which led to a Buffaloes pen-alty shot, which they converted with 12:29 left. The crazy turn of events got even cra-zier when the Bisons covered the puck in the crease with 21 seconds left, which re-sulted in another successful penalty shot goal.
Despite giving up the pair of penalty shot goals, the Bisons controlled most of the game and avenged a 11-3 loss earlier in the season to the Buffs.
“It’s not like we lost to a team or tied to a team – it’s two individual plays where skilled guys made a play to help their team,” said Friesen. “The biggest lesson is you spot yourself a two-goal lead – got a couple of chances to get a few more goals and you don’t and you leave the game to chance.
“Two plays make the difference in the game.”
The Bisons will look to extend their new-found success this weekend when they host the Calgary Northstars Jan. 27 (8 p.m.) and the K of C Pats on Jan. 29 (2 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre.

Direct Energy and the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association (AWNA) invite Albertans to help recognize our province’s tremendous volunteer spirit with the eighth annual Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award. Nominations are now being accepted and will close Friday, March 16, 2012. According to Volunteer Canada, there are 12.5 million volunteers making a difference in others’ lives across the country. In Alberta alone, 1 in 3 people volunteer. The Alberta Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award program is designed to recognize some of the most outstanding work of those individuals whose contributions make their communities a better place to live. “It is no secret that Albertans take great pride in their remarkable volunteerism, and the volunteers we’ve met and recognized over the years through this program are a true inspiration,” says Tanis Kozak, Vice-President and General Manager, Canada, Direct Energy. “We all know someone whose work makes their community a better place to live, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to recognize some of those amazing contributions.” The Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award is an extension of Direct Energy’s Community Investment philosophy that encourages employees to volunteer their time and energy to causes or organizations in their local communities. The award itself consists of:· $1,000 cash prize to the winner;· $5,000 cash grant to the winner’s organization/cause of choice in their respective community;· recognition of the winner’s achievement through a commemorative award, article and photo to be published in AWNA newspapers across Alberta;· $1,000 cash grant to four semi-finalists’ organization/cause of choice in their respective communities; and· special recognition of the four semi-finalists. Last years’ winner, Irma “Granny” Gray chose Tennille’s Hope Kommunity Kitchen, as the beneficiary of a $5,000 donation in her name. Gray is the mother of seven children, eighteen grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. She was recognized for her work with Tenille’s Hope and a long list of other community organizations. “We’re looking forward to once again recognizing individuals who work hard to make our communities great places to live,” said AWNA President Ossie Sheddy. “The selfless actions of past winners like Irma “Granny” Gray often go unrewarded. This program is designed to showcase appreciation for their efforts. I invite AWNA member newspaper publishers and editors and community leaders to nominate their outstanding volunteers. The direct in the community – Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award is a great opportunity to recognize invaluable volunteers and to benefit your community.” The Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award is open to residents who reside within a community served by an AWNA member newspaper. Applicants can either self-nominate or be nominated by another individual or group. Nominations should be no longer than 750 words in length and detail the specific contribution the individual or group has made to the local community through improving the quality of life for fellow citizens. The nominations also need to profile the designated organization and how that organization would use the $5,000 donation. Nominations must be submitted to the AWNA by March 16, 2012. A selection committee, formed of two representatives from the AWNA and two appointed by Direct Energy, will review award applications and select the finalists and winning individual or group. Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award rules and details can be found online at www.awna.com or www.directenergy.com/vcoy, or can be picked up at AWNA member newspaper offices.
Alberta Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award launches for 2012

The Wheatland Chiefs got back to their winning ways by sweeping a home-and-home series versus the Inn-isfail Flyers this past weekend.
The local double-A midget team de-feated the Flyers 5-1 on Jan. 20 at the Strathmore Family Centre, before post-ing a 7-1 win on the road Jan. 22.
According to Chiefs assistant coach Len Desmet, because of the team’s suc-cess, they have to be ready to play ev-ery game right from the start.
“We’re defending champs, plus we’re fighting for first place, so every team coming in here is going to be gunning for us,” said Desmet. “We can’t afford to take a night off.
“From here on in, we have to be prepared for every game because we have provincials and playoffs not that far around the corner. You can’t take a night off because all the teams are pretty even.
“If we keep things simple, we’re a pretty good hockey team.”
The Chiefs then ignited their offence in Innisfail by scoring three goals in a span of 2:43 midway through the first period.
After the Flyers pulled closer with a goal of their own, the Chiefs responded with another four goals in the victory.
Despite the offence firing on all cyl-inders, Desmet would like to see the Chiefs improve with the man advan-tage.
“I think we have to work on our pow-er play a little bit,” explained Desmet. “We’re trying to be too fancy – some-times you don’t need to be fancy … if you keep it simple good things happen.
“Too many cross-ice passes (when you need to) get it to the point and get some traffic in front.
“We’re capable of lighting it up when we need to.”
The Chiefs are now preparing for a pair of road games this weekend be-fore returning home to host the Brooks Storm on Jan. 29 (7 p.m.) at the Strath-more Family Centre.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland Braves extended their winning streak to three
Chiefs bounce backgames by defeating the Foothills Bisons 6-2 on Jan. 21 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
The local double-A peewee team has out-scored their opposition 18-5 during their streak, as they head to Red Deer to battle with the TBS on Jan. 28 (12:45 p.m.).
However, lucky was not on the side of the Wheatland Warriors this past weekend. The double-A bantam team was defeated 4-2 in Hussar to Bow Valley on Jan. 20, before losing 6-0 to Cranbrook the following day.
The Warriors will look to get back in the win column when they host the La-combe Rockets Jan. 28 (5 p.m.) and the Cranbrook Ice Jan. 29 (4:15 p.m.).

Two players averaging over a point-per-game will represent the UFA Bi-sons at the 23rd Annual AMHL All-Star Game in Edmonton early next month.
Captain Mitch McAllister and rookie Tyler Wong were named to the South Division roster and will take part in the all-star game festivities Feb. 5.
“It’s an honour just to be able to go to the all-star game, “ said McAllister, who was named a first team all-star. “It’s one of those things that is in the back of your mind, but you never re-ally pay too much attention to it until maybe the weekend it gets there. You really don’t focus on it.
“That’s not really a goal coming into the year, but for sure it’s nice, it is just an honour and I’ll be happy to be there.”
McAllister, who lead the Bisons in scoring with 10 goal and 20 assists for 30 points in 27 games, was also named captain of the South Division team.
“It’s more laid-back, it’s not do-or-die like the season is and two points aren’t on the line,” said McAllister. “You go out there and do your best … I’m looking forward to going out there and having fun with the guys.”
With 12 goal and 10 assists in 20 games, Wong was also thrilled to be named to the South Division squad.
“It’s a huge honour that the Red Deer coach chose me and thinks that highly of me,” said Wong. “I’m really honoured to play with the best play-ers in the league – that’s going to be a huge experience. I’m really excited.
“It was definitely a goal at the start of the year, but once the season start-ed it was all about the team – I didn’t care if I made it or not, I just wanted to help the team out.
“Since they noticed me, I’m glad that I did (get selected).”
According to Bisons head coach Jer-emy Friesen, both players deserved to be named to the all-star game.
“He has been Mr. Steady for us all season long,” said Friesen of his cap-tain. “I’m glad to see that hard work pay off for a guy like Mitch. Tyler is the only 15 year old in the entire south named to his team, so it’s a huge honour and accomplishment for them.
“We know they are going to repre-sent the program well.”

The Rockyford Roughnecks Tier 3 and Tier 5 novice teams hosted a home tournament with teams from Duchess, Airdrie, Indus, Didsbury and Strathmore attending on the weekend.
The stands at the arena were full as parents and grandparents alike cheered on their kids. All the teams played very well, and while the two novice teams from Rockyford didn’t win the tournament, they did manage a win or two in their respective pools.
The finals for Tier 3 had Dids-
bury and Duchess playing off, with Duchess taking the win 4-3. The Tier 5 final involved the two Airdrie teams with the Airdrie Vi-pers taking the win. Tournament organizer Glenda Wheeler said “I am pleased with the support of everyone involved from the kids to the parents and especially the coaches who have dedicated their time and expertise to the kids and the game.”
All the kids who participated re-ceived a trophy and welcome bag and the winning teams took home the tournament banners. The tour-nament was deemed a success by players, coaches, and parents alike!

The Wheatland Kings were seconds away from taking at least three of four points during a pair of home games this past weekend. However, a goal late in the third period versus the High River Flyers on Jan. 22, resulted in a 3-2 loss. The Kings opened the weekend with a 5-3 win over the medicine Hat Cubs the night before, earning them the split in the two home games. The team is now preparing for the three-game weekend, including a home date Jan. 28 (8 p.m.) versus the mountainview Colts.
