The Ice Bucket Challenge is a crazethat’s been sweeping the nation rais-

ing funds and awareness for ALS. Thechallenge requires you fill a bucket

with ice and water, make a video of yourself dumping the bucket over yourhead, and nominate three other peopleto take part. Those nominated have 24hours to accept or deny the challenge.If they can’t take part they are to do-nate $10, and those who won’t take thechallenge are requested to donate $100to ALS. The challenge has made its way to

Strathmore, and on Aug. 18 Strathmoretown Councillor’s Bob Sobol and PatFule took part, as did our own Strath-more Times reporter Justin Seward.

“I have somebody that’s a friend of

mine that’s got a form of ALS and it re-ally is a debilitating disease. It’s your voice that goes, your speech, your mo-tor control, your ability to walk; it’s justso tragic. It’s just something to raisea little awareness and a little money,”said Sobol

“If dumping a bucket of cold wateron you raises awareness that’s great. Alot of people don’t understand that thelifespan is so short for people with ALSand how terrible it is.”

Sobol nominated Staff Sgt. KevinReilly, his brother Joe Sobol, and Coun-cillor Denise Peterson to take the chal-lenge. He had also set a personal goalof raising $500, and was half way thereas of Aug. 18.

Fule’s nominations for the challenge were Colin Huxted, Bas Owel and DaleSmith.

“It’s just an amazing cause. It’s justamazing how fast it has gone viral, I’veknown a few people who have suc-cumbed to ALS and it’s just a horribledisease,” said Fule.

“I’m thinking of Kyle Ruppe, he’s been incredibly brave. For people likethat if we can generate more moneyand awareness and find a way to stopthis terrible disease it’s just great, any-thing I can do to help raise money andawareness is important, and I hate wa-ter.”

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is often referred to asLou Gehrig’s disease. The disease commonly affects people between the ages of 40 and 60.

It is a progressive and fatal disease. Eventually the bodysuccumbs to paralysis and the respiratory system becomescompromised, which leads to most affected patients dying ofrespiratory failure and pneumonia after a few years.

Pete Frates, baseball team captain for Boston College, start-ed the now viral trend. In 2012, at 27-years-old, he was giventhe official news that he had ALS. It was this past July thatone of Frates’ friends introduced him to the Ice Bucket Chal-lenge that was to originally raise awareness for the charity ofpeoples choice. He asked his friends to take part for him andto do the challenge for his charity and his cause, ALS. Sud-denly athletes all over Boston were doing it, and then it went viral and everyone seems to be getting in on the action. On Aug. 14 Frates finally personally took part in the challengeat Fenway Park. To find out more about ALS, and about thechallenge go to www.als.ca.

Blue-green algae blooms are once again painting lakes andstreams in Wheatland County. The county website posted ahealth advisory for the blooms in Eagle Lake and the SevernCreek reservoir.

“We post the warnings as a precautionary measure to

ensure our residents safety,” said David Churchill generalmanager of Transportation and Infrastructure for WheatlandCounty. The blue-green algae are a form of bacteria called cyano-

bacteria, which lives in water bodies year round. Warmer weather heats up the water and the algae reproduce, sendingout blooms that give the water paint-like consistency for theduration of their bloom. The algae blooms also secrete toxinsthat can cause skin rashes, fever, eye irritations, nausea anddiarrhea to those that come in contact with the water.

“We had one patch develop near the resort, but later in theday it blew away,” said Leslie Pringle, manager at Eagle LakeRV resort.

“The lake is the same as always,” said Pringle.She said notices are posted year round as a safety measure,

but often the warnings are blown out of proportion by themedia. She also questioned some of the criteria used by thehealth inspectors.

She said she and her employees have lived in the area forover 20 years and swam in Eagle Lake without repercussions.She does caution patrons when the blooms are happening, but lets them decide for themselves about using the lake atthat time.

Health experts are advising that people, their pets, or live-stock should avoid going into the water, ingesting the wateror eating fish that live in blue-green infested waters. Reportsstate that severe liver damage can occur through prolongedexposure to the toxins over time.

Even boiling the water won’t remove the toxin from the water, so those that rely on the water in bloom infested areasare encouraged to use bottled water, or find another sourceof water for themselves and their livestock until the bloomsdissipate.

Blue-green algae blooms are a problem in areas all acrossCanada. Those looking to decrease the size of blooms point their

attention to decreasing phosphorous levels entering watersystems. Rain causes phosphorous rich fertilizer from adja-cent farmlands to enter streams. Urban areas have phospho-rous input by water passing over roof shingles and enteringstorm waters and use of phosphorous laden household prod-ucts such as laundry and cleaning solutions.

Some municipalities have used a copper sulfate solution,triploid carp fish that eat the algae, mechanical harvesting ofthe algae and aeration of ponds where it is found.

Watch for toxic bloom

The Strathmore Handi-Bus is experiencing schedulingproblems, due to the increased demand for its services.

Gundy LaChance, a Strathmore resident, booked theStrathmore Handi-Bus weeks in advance, to provide a returntrip for her elderly mother (age 94) to a dental appointment.

There was no problem with the drop off, but LaChance defi-nitely had some complaints about the subsequent pickup.

Her mother waited several hours with no definite time giv-en for when the bus would arrive for her mother’s pickup.She said her inquiries were responded to in a rude manner,

when she asked for a more precise time.“This is disgusting. You don’t leave an older person sitting

that long,” said LaChance.LaChance had heard that there were problems with the

Handi-Bus from other people and after this incident she wasready to believe there is a concern. Wheatland Councillor Alice Booth has often said the ser-

vice is struggling to meet the need of medical calls, let alonethose clients calling for social reasons. She said many callsare medical appointments in Calgary, where one request cantake two to four hours to complete.

Florence Vander Velde, a board member for the societysaid the society is funded by donations. She said the Handi-

Bus has a priority system set out by the board, but the tripsto Calgary can cause other calls to back up, as the patients ordrivers may not be given specific times for patients waitingfor hospital discharges, lab tests, health consultations anddoctors appointments.

“I would say 99 per cent of the time scheduling is man-aged efficiently and one per cent of the time people have to

wait,” said Vander Velde. “The service has six buses and we

will be adding another in the fall.”She said there are a lot of calls from Sagewood and most

of the other senior centres provide their own transportationfor their clients. The Handi-Bus service issue has been discussed in the

media several times over the last six months. The Town ofStrathmore, County of Wheatland, Alberta Health Services,the taxi services, Sagewood, and the Strathmore public have

been presented with a request to find a way to ease thepressures on the service, but no answers to an overbookedservice have surfaced. The Strathmore adult day program recently received no-

tice that AHS would no longer pay for seniors trips to theday program offered by Alberta Health Services. The Handi-Bus transports up to eight patients a day to the program.

Vander Velde said if these seniors have to rely on cab services it would definitely be a burden on their budgets. Shesaid the day program had a dedicated bus for the programand she wondered where the funding would go and what

would happen to that bus.“We regret any inconvenience this change will cause for

the clients of the program. AHS is no longer able to oper-ate this bus service in a safe and economical manner. The

bus was donated some time ago and has several mechanicalproblems that require the bus to be taken out of service,”said Brenda Hubbard, AHS Vice President and Chief Opera-

tions Officer for Central and Southern Alberta. “This changeallows AHS to focus its resources on health care services,rather than on transportation, which is not a core health careservice. This is also consistent with how clients travel to andfrom day programs in other communities.”

Hubbard said clients would be dealt with on a one-on-one basis. In cases of financial hardship, clients may be con-nected with either the Ministry of Human Services or AHS.

There are many residents questioning why the swimmingpool is closed. The staff have said that the closure is for peo-ple’s safety, and sanitizing the pool is not just a matter ofscooping out the offending material.

“A diarrheal fecal incident is a higher risk event. Those whoswim when ill with diarrhea place other swimmers at signifi-cant risk for getting sick. Fecal incidents are a concern andan inconvenience to both pool operators and patrons. Thepool needs to be closed to protect the health and safety ofswimmers and to properly disinfect the water,” said BrendaCondon, pool manager.

Condon outlined the following complex steps that are tak-en by staff when contamination is discovered:

1. Clear the pool of all patrons.2. Turn off the UV lamp, pool chemicals and circulation

pump.3. Remove as much fecal matter as possible using a net and

dispose of the material into a toilet.4. Vacuum the pool, if necessary, into the waste drain.5. The water is then super chlorinated to bring the chlorine

up to the level required by Alberta Health.6. Depending on the level of the chlorine, the pool will

need to sit for 12 to 25 hours to ensure proper disinfection.7. Once the proper amount of time has passed, the chlorine

levels need to be brought back down to normal. This can take

a long time depending on what the chlorine level was at.8. Water tests are completed every half hour to keep an

eye on where chlorine and PH levels are. This usually takesone person dedicated to water tests. After finishing one setof tests there is usually five minutes before the testing beginsagain.

9. In the meantime, everything and anything that may have been contaminated must be thoroughly bleached.

10. Backwash the pool to clean the filters of any contami-nation.

11. Balance the water chemistry. This is where it can gettricky. Bringing the chlorine down can take a while. We usesodium thiosulfate to reduce the chlorine level, but too muchcan reduce the chlorine levels below what they need to be.Using the rule of halves, we use half of the recommendedsodium thiosulfate and see what the result is. This processcontinues until the chlorine has reached an acceptable level.

12. Once the water chemistry is properly balanced, watersamples are sent to the Provincial Lab for bacteriologicalanalysis and the pool is open for business once again.

13. Now it is time to complete all of the paperwork.Condon said the Strathmore Aquatic Centre sells plastic

pants ($5.00) to cover the swimming diaper of anyone not yet

trained in bathroom habits. These plastic pants have a tighterelastic around the legs and waist in order to keep in any pos-sible fecal matter.

Condon expects the pool will be operational for the Ladies Triathlon event and then open to the public.

The Animal Care Centre of Strath-more is celebrating one year of op-eration in their new building, west ofStrathmore on Hwy 1.

“It has been wonderful. The new fa-cility has allowed us to provide betterservices,” said Dr. Jodi Viste. “…havingthe new indoor calving space has beena blessing.” The centre has gone from 18 staff

members to 25.“We are drawing a client base from

Calgary and Strathmore,” said Viste, who said the highway location has im-proved the centre’s visibility. “We enjoydrawing people into the Strathmore re-gion and hope that it helps other busi-nesses as well.” The centre now has partnerships with

the Town of Strathmore and WheatlandCounty, caring for stray animals pickedup by bylaw officers, and they help outthe SPCA as well.

Prairie Paws Dog Grooming is situ-ated next to the centre, and Viste said itis very beneficial. The Animal Care Centre of Strath-

more often calls on the grooming services, if they need something doneprior to treatment or surgery, and petowners can get grooming done beforeor after checkups.

Vista said new growth for the centreis more than staff members or clientnumbers; it includes treatment knowl-edge as well.

“We would like to see more growth,”said Viste. “An example of that is one ofour staff members is taking a physio-therapy course, which we hope to offerto our clients’ pets soon.”

She said it will be appropriate for ar-thritic pets or for post-surgical pets. A special indoor section of the build-

ing is designated for large animals. Shesaid that Dr. Davis Rand is now doingmajor knee surgery at the centre. The centre also works the major ro-

deos in the area, consulting and treat-ing animal injuries.

It even has a private room dedicat-ed for clients and their small animals, when there is a need to euthanize theirpet. It is a dedicated quiet space keptfor a little personal time between petand owner, prior to the pet leaving thecentre for cremation services. The facility is bright, new and state of

the art, but a business is more than justa building.

“We have such a great team here. Ienjoy working with everyone and wealso have fun,” said Viste.

Her staff is celebrating their anniversary with a camping weekend, butMonday … it’s back to putting animal welfare first.

The banning of smoking in public places is starting

to see positive changes in many areas of healthcare.

One benet is a 10% drop in the rates of pre-term births

and childhood asthma where smoking bans have been

initiated. Unfortunately, only 16% of the people of the

world are covered by these non-smoking laws and 40%

of the world’s children are still exposed to s econd-hand

smoke.

A peptic ulcer is a breakdown in the protective lining

of the stomach or part of the small intestine. In the

“old days” prior to the 1970s, treatment consisted of

dietary changes, lots of antacids and possibly even an

operation. Today we know that most peptic ulcers are

caused by the bacterium, H. Pylori. It infects 1 in 4

people but most don’t get an ulcer. Those that do can be

treated with antibiotics and a powerful acid-reducer. No

more bland diets or surgery today!

Pharmacists are asked about the benets of eating

garlic or supplements to help certain ailments. It has

been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of

years in India, China and Egypt. The current scientic

evidence says it may possibly be effective for reducing

high blood pressure, keeping arteries healthy, reducing

the risk of colon, rectal and stomach cancer (if eaten

raw). It is unlikely to help those with diabetes, peptic

ulcers, high cholesteol or preventing breast cancer.

Some people say that garlic helps prevent the common

cold. If it works for you, that’s great. There is not a

lot of high quality evidence that this is so but the side

effects are minimal if you take it. Our pharmacists

can add a balanced perspective to many of the popular

herbal treatments. There’s a lot of hype out there. We

can add some common sense to it all. Consult your

doctor, too.

As the federal Conservatives are ramping up to elect theirrepresentative for the new Bow River riding, the ElectoralDistrict Association (EDA) President Stirling Fox cannot over-emphasize the importance of Conservatives in the riding to buy their memberships.

“You basically have two weeks to get your membership bought if you want to be a part of choosing who will repre-sent the federal Conservatives (in the 2015 federal election),”said Fox. To be eligible to vote, you must have had your membership

for at least 21 days before the voting deadline date. The na-tional party called for the EDA to complete its candidate se-lection process, as they will have to be vetted by the nationalselection council in order to run in the election.

“Most of the paperwork is complete, so we know that is inorder,” explained Fox. “Certainly memberships are availablefrom our board members, but most people go online (con-servative.ca) and complete the process there.” The four men who are stepping forward are: Martin

Shields, current Mayor of Brooks; Rolly Ashdown, Councilorand former Reeve of Rocky View County; Rob Anders, who iscurrently serving as a federal MP for the Calgary West elec-

toral zone; and Gerard Lucyshyn, a Mount Royal Universityprofessor who lives with his family in Langdon.

Martin Shields has been involved in politics since 2004.He holds a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Education and aMaster of Arts. Prior to his career in politics, Shields servedas a teacher and school administrator for 30 years and taughtpart time as a university instructor for 20 years. He currentlyserves as the Director of Strathmore-Brooks Alberta Conser- vative Constituency Association and is a past President of theMedicine Hat Federal Conservative Constituency Association.

Shields has been living in Brooks with his family for 35 years and is committed to the success and quality of thecommunity, shown through his involvement in various or-ganizations such as the Alberta Library Trustees Association(Board Member), the Alberta Urban Municipalities Associa-tion (Vice-President), the Shortgrass Regional Library SystemBoard (Vice Chair Person), Palliser Regional Health Board

Conservative membership deadline looms(Vice-Chair), and the Palliser Area Health AdvisoryCommittee (Vice-Chair).

Rolly Ashdown was born in Lucky Lake, Sas-katchewan and came to southern Alberta in 1977.Prior to becoming a councillor Ashdown spent 20 years as a realtor and a business owner. He hasparticipated in many community committees aspart of his work and has also served as Conserva-tive party president for the former Crowfoot area.He and his wife Karen live in the community andenjoy interacting with its residents. He said thathis past experience in municipal government hasgiven him the insight and experience he believes will help him if he succeeds in representing thearea federally. See www.rollyashdown.ca for moredetails.

“I believe in the Conservative party. I believe intheir politics. I find politics interesting and I amready to step up to another level,” said Ashdown.

He is hoping everyone will come out soon andobtain their party memberships. He considers itone of the best ways to ensure peoples candidateof choice to represent their views in the federalparliament. The controversial Rob Anders has federally rep-

resented the Calgary West region as an MP since1997. He has announced publically his intentionto run for the Bow River riding. Anders appliedto represent the new riding of Calgary Signal Hill

in April, but lost the nomination battle to former Alberta finance minister Ron Liepert. Rob Anders was first elected on June 2, 1997. He began hiscareer as deputy critic for Human Resources forthe Reform party in 1998 was appointed the chiefcritic for Senate and Patronage. As the official op-position’s chief critic, he created and chaired theElected Senate Action Team - a task force to advance the cause of Senate Reform in Canada. Robcurrently sits on many federal committees, whichcan be seen at www.robanders.ca

Gerard Lucyshyn was born in Saskatoon, Sas-katchewan and grew up across the prairies, in Al- berta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. He attendedgraduate school at Carleton University in Ottawa,Ontario and relocated back to Alberta in 2001.Ge-rard and his wife, Sheila reside in Langdon withtheir two sons Michael and Adam.

In his work as a professor he delivers lectureson globalization and economics. He has served on various committees and boards throughout his ca-reer. His extensive curriculum vitae can be seenonline at www.gerardlucyshyn.ca

Fox said that all candidates must submit their in-tention to run to the EDA and file the requisite pa-

perwork before it can be official. Once accepted,all candidates must step down from their currentgovernment positions, if elected to represent thepublic in the Bow River federal constituency.

Mount Royal University pro-

fessor Gerard Lucyshyn has

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor

An act of “Chivalry” doesn’t happen very often thesedays, but on Thursday, Aug. 14 I was very fortunate.On leaving the Royal Bank in Strathmore and gettinginto my car I was surprised by someone knocking onmy window, it was the bank manager, Trevor Pollock,he told me I had flat tire.

He immediately removed the tire and took it to the

Shell gas station to fill it up with air. He then returnedand put it back on my car and suggested I go to Foun-tain Tire for further repairs. He did all this on his cof-fee break. I am truly grateful that this act of kindness(chivalry) is still possible these days. Thank you Mr. Pollock.

Fule for Thought

My wife, Debbie thinks I have a very strange mind.She’s probably right. Things come to me, that probably

wouldn’t to any “normal” person.For example, I’ve been kind of creeped out by the

“Laughing Cow” cheese commercial. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this commercial, but these cute, cartoon-ish cows are hanging out eating cheese. Now to me,this is bizarre and creepy, because cheese comes fromcows, so these animals are eating themselves!

It’s gross … why would that make me want to buytheir cheese and join them in a gross, disgusting picnic

where they eat their own by-product? I know, I know,this is why Deb says, “just once I’d like to get in yourhead and see what’s it’s like in there!” I’m not sureshe could take that vast emptiness broken by the odd,

bizarre thought that pops in and out!Really though, I’ve been thinking a lot about our

family dog, Brodie. He’s a 14.5-year-old Bichon Frise,and he’s slowly showing his decreasing energy. Ofcourse, this last part is hard to measure, as he’s neverreally, ever had any energy! He’s always been the typeof dog, who only wants to play for a short period oftime, and then basically quit. It’s like, “whoa kids, letme pace myself … I chased that ball three times, that’sgotta be enough!” Then he ambles off to a quiet place that’s still close

to all of us and basically goes to sleep. It’s like he’salways practiced being an old dog, so he could get it“just right!”

He’s actually only ever really active just after he’scrapped! It’s weird, but when he returns from outside,

we can all tell what he’s done, because he’ll comerunning in like a puppy, hit the hardwood floor, slidea little, and act like it’s the best day of his life! It’skind of gross knowing what your dog has just done,

but it does help me know when the yard needs to bescooped!

I had the embarrassment of taking him on a walkto a new place. We hit the lake at Strathmore Lakes,and he was like a pup again … well, a slow pup, but apup. He was a brown and white “flash” running hereand there, sniffing and peeing everywhere. It was a

little gross as I watched in horror as he had to poop, but was too excited to actually stop and do it! Do youknow how stupid I felt in front of the walkers and jog-gers, picking up his poop as he walked?

“You could have at least stopped somewhere, butno, I have to be your butler!”

I also don’t get why dogs have to smell their pooright after they do it! I mean come on, you’re a smartdog, what do you think was going to be behind you… freshly baked cinnamon cookies?! It’s very embar-rassing! I also wonder why he has to poop at the start

of a walk … we’re nowhere near a garbage can, so Iget to carry a bag of warm, aromatic poo for most ofthe walk!

He’s a great actor, our dog. My daughter Bree taughthim a “dead dog” trick and I must say, he does an elab-orate death scene. He falls slowly (remember, nothingis fast with this dog!) onto his side, and lays as still ashe can, “dead.”

Oh sure, his tail still thumps the floor, but he’s aregular Jack Nicholson! Then when he’s told he’s agood boy, he pops up for his Oscar (dog treat)! You’dthink that he’s a bright dog, and he has shown that. Helearned as a puppy to bat a wind chime on the doorgoing outside, and he’d get let out. He trained us! Herang that bell every time he felt like he needed a “bitof fresh air!”

Lately, though this furry Einstein is not showing hissmarts. We are in a new house that has a “butler’s pan-

try” where it has a door at each end. Brodie will goin the hallway door, come to the kitchen door andscratch, looking out. I don’t get why he thinks he’strapped, and he gets a bit frustrated, scratching to belet out! Why not just turn around, and go back out the

way you came?!Oh well, this old brown and white fur ball has been

nothing but a happy, affectionate dog. Tomorrow will be lawn cutting day, and he’s figured out that’s a greatday for him!

He gets to come to the Recycle Yard, and then we’reoff for a cheeseburger! He knows the turns, and he’salways leaning up on the dash, tracking the trip. It’llalways be one of the things I’ll remember the mostabout Brodie … finding joy in something as simple asa cheeseburger trip!

The dog years: just fur Brodie

KEVIN SORENSON, M.P., CROWFOOT

Parliamentary Report

The financial statements of First Nation lead-ers from across Canada are starting to appear on-line as the deadline to comply with a new federaltransparency law has passed. This is because ourConservative Government passed the First NationsFinancial Transparency Act.

This Act, which received Royal Assent on March27, 2013, has been applauded by taxpayer advoca-cy groups and First Nations communities becauseit empowers First Nations community membersacross Canada and ensures they are informed oftheir community’s financial situation. While many First Nations have actively publi-

cized this information for years, our Governmentintroduced this legislation because we had heardconcerns from First Nations community membersacross the country who wanted access to financialinformation on their community without fear ofintimidation or reprisal.

Recently, it was reported that a chief from asmall First Nation in British Columbia was paidnearly $1 million last year, according to docu-ments disclosed by the band. The reported salaryof the Chief is very troubling and we are pleasedthat because of this legislation community members in this First Nation now have access to thisinformation and can hold their own leadership to

account. Our Government believes that First Na-tions, like all Canadians, deserve transparencyand accountability from their band leaders. This is why we passed the First Nations Financial Trans-parency Act, which of course, the Liberals and theNDP voted against this in the House of Commons.

Shamefully, Justin Trudeau recently announcedthat if the Liberals were elected in 2015, he wouldrepeal the First Nations Financial Transparency

Act. Justin Trudeau would keep this basic finan-cial information hidden from First Nation com-munities and taxpayers. This is an affront to FirstNations community members and to all Canadi-ans taxpayers that this act is intended to serve.It’s yet another example that inexperienced Justin Trudeau is in way over his head.

All other levels of government in Canada re-quire financial transparency to ensure that annual budgets are made public. With increased access to basic financial information, community memberscan make more informed decisions about the fi-nancial management and reporting of their elect-ed officials. Our Government expects First Nation band councils to use tax payer dollars responsiblyfor the benefit of all community members. The First Nations Financial Transparency Act

is consistent with generally accepted accounting

rules that already apply to government-owned businesses across Canada and reporting require-ments for Members of Parliament under the Par-

Bringing financial transparency to First Nationsliament of Canada Act and the Salaries Act. First Nationscommunity members will not have to request the informa-tion through Band offices, but still have the option to do so. The Act is also helping to encourage investment, economicdevelopment and growth, by creating a better environmentfor private sector investment, which strengthens the founda-tion necessary for the long-term prosperity in First Nationcommunities across the country. As part of the 2011 Speech from the Throne, our Govern-

ment has committed to supporting democratic, transparentand accountable First Nation governments. This is but justone example of how our Government is taking action to sup-

port First Nations and ensure they have access to informationdetailing how public funds are spent in their communities.

Farmers always have their eye uponthe weather, wondering whether there will be the right balance of rain andsunshine to make their crops flourish. Alberta Financial Services Corpora-

tion crop statistics as of July 29 for theStrathmore area show spring cerealsare in late pollination stage and win-ter cereals in soft dough stage. Canolaand field peas are almost finished the

pod stage. Most crops were consideredaverage or slightly above average toprevious years. Sub-soil moisture rat-ings were 73 per cent and are good toexcellent. Cut dry-land and irrigatedhaying are all virtually completed. Hay/pastures rated at 70 per cent good orexcellent.

Russel Muenchrath, Wheatland Coun-ty’s manager of agricultural servicessaid that the majority of crops grownin Wheatland County are canola, wheat, barley, peas and then forage (hay) cropslike alfalfa.

“Moisture right at the moment is ok,as we have had some rain in the lasttwo weeks; overall, moisture is less

Update on Wheatland crop growththan what it has been in the last coupleof years, so it will affect dry-land crop yields and we have already seen thatthe hay yields this year are less thanprevious years,” said Muenchrath.

He said heat does have an effect oncrop yields.

“The hot dry weather early in theseason reduced hay crop and pasture yields this year. The heat will also af-fect annual crop yields, and in particu-lar Canola can be affected at flowering by what’s called bud blasting wherein

the flower clusters turn brown and canresult in greatly reduced yields.”Pests are always a problem for farm-

ers, but Muenchrath said there are nomajor problems in Wheatland Countyto date.

He said farmers often do field scout-ing to catch the problems before theyprogress too much.

Muenchrath said crop prices are alittle lower than usual. Record corn andsoybean crops in the USA may causesome downward pressure on crop pric-es here at home.

Muenchrath said the real story is therecent hailstorms in the area. The loss of an entire crop can be a

discouraging sight to a farmer, especial-

ly when crops are just filling out. Jackie Sandan, Area Program man-

ager for Agricultural Financial ServicesCorporation said 6,000 hail claims werefiled provincially this year. There are650 crop claims from the Wheatlandarea alone.

“Our inspectors are all extremely busy trying to assess the damage, saidSandan. A general overview of hail damage

for the Wheatland area is as follows:Heavy damage in Standard area fromhail, and a wide strip of moderate haildamage from east to northeast of Cal-

gary into the Hussar/Gleichen areasfrom two major storms.Sandan said hail is the biggest cause

of crop loss in this area, and most pro-ducers purchase hail insurance for thisreason.

She said the time it takes to completea claim varies on the assessment, whichis based on multiple factors – the cropstage at time of damage, and whetherit needs to be deferred, or how manystorms have hit that land base. Sandansaid it also depends on the volume ofclaims received. She said it can takeanywhere from approximately 10 daysto a few weeks before an inspector isable to visit a farm. However, once aninspection is completed and signed off,

the cheques are issued within days andthen mailed out.

Rosebud School of the Arts students will startthe upcoming school year in a study and perfor-

mance space that is both fifteen years old and brand new, thanks to a new five-year sponsorshipagreement with BMO Financial Group. The building and grounds of the Studio Stage,

the primary stage for Rosebud School of the Arts(RSA) productions, have received a makeover and were renamed the BMO Studio Stage and StudentGarden.

Paul Muir, RSA’s education director, says theschool became connected with BMO through JeriSherban, the bank’s Community Investment Man-ager, and her husband Orest. “They come out toso many events. They come out to all the studentevents,” he says. “Jeri and Orest just seem to havedecided ‘We’re all about these students at Rose- bud,’” Muir says, “and decided (they’re) going toget BMO to give some money to Rosebud, but it’sgoing to be focused on student activity and stu-

dent advance and student facilities.”“BMO was inspired to support the Rosebud

Centre of the Arts because of our focus on educa-tion, the arts and our community,” says Danny Me-nard, BMO’s Vice President for Commercial Bank-ing, Central Alberta. “BMO values being a strongcommunity partner, just in making our communi-ties better places to live and this centre is a greatexample of those values in action.”

“The makeover included prominent signage totransform the look of the building and provide anoutdoor study and recreation space for the stu-dents,” Menard says. “The donation will also fundthe education scholarships at the centre for thenext five years.” Those scholarships continue toprovide honoraria for RSA students who partici-pate in Rosebud Theatre productions. The new signage “is going to provide a fabu-

lous point of focus,” Muir says. “With this fantastic17-foot-high sign, you can actually see from wayin town ... Oh, there’s something worth seeing outthere.” The sign’s designer, Paul Lassen, found “a way to marry the agricultural and industrial lookof that building,” Muir says, “and also create somereally clean modern lines and throw in a bit ofrustic sense to it as well.”

In the BMO Studio Stage and surrounding fa-cilities, “a whole lot of student life and study andeverything happens,” Muir says. The BMO fundingallowed horticulturalist Colleen Kapell and SheilaGraham to draw up a landscape design, and forMaki Van Dyke, RSA’s registrar, to coordinate ateam of volunteers in shaping the bland, undevel-oped space into a flower garden. “It turned outfantastic,” Muir says. “It’s going to do a great thing,

not only for the students, but also for all the pa-trons.”

“When you walk into a space that feels like it

has been paid attention to, whether it’s an indoorspace or an outdoor space,” he says, “and care has been given to what it looks like and how it’s beendesigned.... it changes something in you.”

“I can’t wait for (the students) to come back inSeptember,” he says, “when they walk out thereand go, ‘Oh! This is what our space is now like.’ Iactually think it’s going to do something for them just in terms of their perspective and their attitudetoward their studies.”

The new funding agreement, and the makeoverof building and grounds, was celebrated with aGrand Opening on July 24, 2014.

“We’re so grateful to BMO,” Muir says. “I do be-lieve that this is the beginning of a really goodlong-term relationship with BMO. ...I think we’ll be invested for a long time.”

As this story was being developed, RosebudCentre of the Arts (RCA) also announced a milliondollar donation from Dick and Lois Haskayne, both of whom grew up in the Rosebud area. TheHaskaynes’ donation will retire the mortgage onthe Mercantile, now named the Rosebud HaskayneKenny Mercantile, and foster ongoing growth forRCA. “The Centre, whose vision aligns with ours,provides quality education and entertainment,”said the Haskaynes in a prepared statement. “Sim-

ply, it has kept the community of Rosebud alive. We are proud to honour our rural roots and to of-fer financial support to ensure continued success.”

ongoing BMO sponsorship

JUST A LITTLE PROBLEMWhen I came to Canada I foundout that in order for me to workI needed a SIN number. I wassurprised, why a SIN number.What does sin has to do withwork? Later I found out that theSIN number stands for SocialInsurance Number. You see,wherever I would go I had justa little problem, my SIN numberstarted with 9, meaning I am animmigrant and I am not allowed to work. My Social InsuranceNumber limited me. I couldwork just on Campus of theCollege I was attending, andonly 40 hours a month. The SINnumber was my little problem.Today for many Christians, sinis just a little problem. ManyChristians catch themselveson the idea that their sin is justa small one. Sin usually startssmall and if it is not dealt with, itbecomes a big problem. Thereare three great problems withsin.First, sin limits us. It takes awayour freedom in Christ. Paul saysin Romans 6:15-23 that if we sinwe become slaves of sin. Whatcan be worst than being a slave

to sin?Second, sin takes away ourmotivation to live for God. The terrible result of sin is that we

become self-centered. As aresult of sin we take God off the throne of our hearts andput self there. Instead of lovingGod and wanting to do His will,we now love ourselves andwant to have our own way. TheBible tells us “people who areself-centered aren’t able toplease God” (Romans 8:8, CEB).Self-centeredness leads to be-ing devoted to self-gratificationand overlooking other people’sneeds.Third, sin disrupts our fel-lowship with God. This is aninevitable result of sin. Sin andfellowship cannot go together.Isaiah 59:2 says, “But youriniquities have separated youfrom your God; And your sinshave hidden His face from you,So that He will not hear.”So, the Bible clearly shows thatsin is our greatest problem.Don’t let Satan tell you that youhave just a little problem. Sinis a big problem and it has tobe dealt with. The Bible saysin 1 John 1:9, “If we confessour sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and tocleanse us from all unrigh-

teousness.”Pastor Ghena Girleanu Strathmore Seventh-dayAdventist Church

The Wheatland Whirlers Square Dance Club hosted a barndance fundraiser for the Children’s Wish Foundation with thePrairie Mountain Fiddlers as the entertainment on Aug. 13. The evening was a huge success and certainly couldn’t be

held without the countless hours of time, volunteers and en-ergy that come with holding a fundraiser of this caliber.

Barn Dance for Children’s Wish

With just two hours a week you can tell cancer it barked up

the wrong tree.

The Canadian Cancer Society is looking for committee

volunteers to plan our inaugural Bark For Life event in

Strathmore. More than just a dog walk, Bark For Life is an

opportunity to raise money that will bring us closer to a day

where no Canadian has to fear cancer.

Whether you’re a scratch golfer ora substandard golfer, the Easy GoingOpen welcomes everyone to partici-pate. On Saturday, Sept. 20, golfers ofall ages and abilities will rally together

to raise funds for the Strathmore 2015 Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games. Thetournament will be held at SpeargrassGolf Course, but it’s not your typical

Texas scramble. Throughout the day,the event will feature a variety of funactivities and to-be-announced specialguests.

During the day, golfers can stop bythe free on-location wine tasting areaor relax in the professional massage

booth. The tournament also featuresa range of unique mini-contests. For$5, players can try and beat-the-proand for $10 players can enter a put-ting and driving contest. Prize packsfor $20 include three mulligans, onedriving contest entry and one putting

contest entry. The event also featuresthe chance to win a $5,000 hole-in-oneprize. The Easy Going Open’s silent auc-

tion table is also growing and specialguests are in the works. Participantsmay even get the opportunity to bid ona celebrity player to compete on theirteam. Games manager, Colleen Huber,says to expect further tournament sur-prise announcements. As a golfer her-self, she says the tournament’s focus isnot competitive, but it’s about having

fun for a good cause.“Other tournaments I’ve golfed in,

I’ve done them because it’s a great dayto spend with friends and when a tour-nament is in support of something, it’seven better, you spend the day havingfun and you are supporting a goodcause.”

Huber explains not only will partici-pation in the Easy Going Open helpthe Strathmore 2015 Alberta 55 PlusSummer Games financially, but it willalso help build community awarenessand support.

“The tournament will support theGames in two major ways. It’s a chancefor us to spread the word about theGames and explain to people whatthey are all about and garner some in-terest. We also have to raise a lot ofmoney to host the Games, and this isone of fundraising items that we aredoing to raise money.”

Early-bird registration to play in theEasy Going Open is $100. After Thurs-day, August 28, it’s $120. Individual

and team entries are welcome. Regis-tration includes 18 holes of golf, a fullsteak dinner, cart and driving range

balls. The organizers are still lookingfor auction items.

Alberta has seen unusual above nor-mal temperatures this summer andStrathmore campgrounds are seeingthe benefits of more campers travel-ling.

“We’re seeing our usual trend. We were pretty much full every weekendfrom July long weekend to August long weekend and after that it starts to slowdown,” said Leslie Pringle of EagleLake RV Resort. With the warmer weather, Eagle Lake

normally sees a full resort with thenormal customers but also like to seenew campers as well.

“On any given weekend 60 to 80per cent of our people are repeat or(through) word-of-mouth and the restare new,” said Pringle.

“We have our usual volume dis-counts. So if you pre-pay a week inadvance, it is a reduced price, if youpre-pay a month it is a reduced price but we run full all the time.”

These discounts take effect mostlyin the low season where the campsitesare not as full. The feedback from the campers to

the resort has been positive and anycomplaints about the sites come fromthe people who do not know muchabout the hobby.

“Any complaints we get are gener-ally from either people who are new

to camping or new to Alberta and notreally familiar with some of the dif-ferences between prairie campgroundand campgrounds at other places,” saidPringle. The last night for camping at Eagle

Lake will be Sept. 6, and officiallyclosed later on Sept. 7.

“We will be starting our seasonaltours in mid September, so people whoare looking at putting a trailer in onespot, leaving the trailer and comingand going, those will be all by appoint-ment,” said Pringle. Ted Kleysen, owner of the Calderon

Acres campground in Strathmore has been satisfied with the numbers at hiscampsites this summer.

“We are mainly above seasonal anddarn close to being the fullest we haveever been,” said Kleysen.

“We have 300 seasonal sites and 290of them are full now.” The sunshine has brought more ac-

tivity into the campsite and especiallyto attractions on site such as the golfcourse.

“It has brought more of everything. There is more people planning, golf-ing, more people making our sites lookprettier; everyone is in the mood now,”said Kleysen.

“It is probably up 10 to 15 per centon average.”

Kleysen is in discussion with the

county to get the approval for an ex-pansion to the park.

This family name originated at Roosen-dal, Holland. Dale’s father Cornelius “Corny”Cockx came to Canada in 1926, to check outland in the Peace River area. He broughtthe rest of his family here from Holland in1930. Both Corny and his father were bond-ed livestock dealers when they moved here,and it was only natural for them to continuein this line of work on arrival.

Dale and his twin brother Darrel wereborn in November 1947 in Strathmore,and lived in a small two-bedroom house ofaround 700 sq. ft. located across from whatis now Lambert Park, and where the Luther-an Church now stands.

His older brother Frankie, older sisterMary Ann, his twin brother Darrel and heshared one very compact bedroom. In theother slightly larger bedroom, his youngerbrothers Eric and Mason shared with Momand Dad. It was cozy and created manyfond memories.

His grandparents on his mother’s side, Verne and Helen Belts, moved to WheatlandCounty from Pendleton, Ore. in 1916. His

mother was born here, and worked as a tele-phone operator until 1938, when she tooktime of f to raise her six children. She laterreturned to this work from 1960 to 1965 un-til operators were no longer required, then worked for the Post Office from 1965 untilher retirement in 1982.

Heather’s grandfather immigrated to Can-ada from Cumwhitton, England while hergrandmother came from Glasgow, Scotland.

Her father, Bill Fawkes, was born andraised on the family farm at Namaka. Hermother Yvonne Cote was from a very largefamily of 13, and grew up on a farm northof Carseland. Her grandparents Walter andEthel Cote had moved here from Indiana in1909. Heather was born at the family farmin Namaka in 1948, during one of the many

blizzards prevalent in those years. In 1952,her father Bill and many other family mem-bers contracted polio, and dad lost most ofthe use of his left arm. He was hospitalizedfor a year, and Heather, her mom and sisterMonica had to go and live with their grand-parents in Carseland. After dad returnedhome, he still couldn’t do much work, sothe family moved to Strathmore.

Heather and Dale knew each other beforeattending Samuel Crowther High School inStrathmore in the mid-1960s. They weremarried in 1969, and this was the start ofthe best 45 years of their lives. They had twosons, Darren born in 1973, and Scott born in1975. Darren married Krista Piper in 2000,and Scott married Renae Nino in 2001. Anew chapter opened in Dale and Heather’slives with the arrival of their grandchildren

– Aidan and Connor (Darren) and Parkerand Karson (Scott). These six (2+4) boyshave provided many years of entertainmentand enjoyment. It would be hard, if not im-possible, to find two parents and grandpar-ents that are more proud. Scott received abaseball scholarship in the U.S. and is nowa commodity/stock bro-ker. Darren took an exten-sive course on photogra-

phy in Vancouver, B.C. Onreturning to Strathmore in1993, he opened Image Works Photography, andhas now been joined inthis business by his wifeKrista, and their sons Aid-an and Connor. In 2011,Bowridge Drilling Ltd wasformed and now Darren isinvolved fulltime in the oiland gas industry.

Dale remembers that inhis early years, their fam-ily had the Calgary Heraldpaper route for 16 years.His brother Frankie started it, then handedit down to Mary Ann, then to the twins Dale

and Darrel, to Eric, then finally to Mason.In 1964, Dale began his career with West-ern Feedlots Ltd, first as a feed truck driverand then became a pen rider, before movinginto the office as administration manager,in 1968.

After a few years, he was promoted toGeneral Manager where he remained until April 1984, when he decided to move to adifferent line of work, and became a fullylicensed commodity/stock broker with Re-fco Canada Ltd. He retired from this verysuccessful career in 2009.

He says that his 20 years with WesternFeedlots Ltd really helped pave the way forhis prosperous brokerage business. Twoindividuals were instrumental in his suc-cess and had a profound influence on him. They are Eion Chisholm, Managing Directorof Western Feedlots Ltd and Pierre Glout-ney, CEO of Refco Canada Ltd. Dale has thegreatest respect and admiration for themboth.

In 1986, Dale joined the Cheadle LionsClub, and this current year is serving theclub as president for the 2014-2015 term. This club is jam packed with good solid vol-unteers.

Both Dale and Heather have been stal- wart members of 4-H, initially as their sonsgrew up, and now with their grandchildren.In 1979, Dale was invited to join “The Sod-busters Investment Syndicate”, a club hehas enjoyed immensely, and which will cel-ebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2015. Twelvepeople formed this club in 1965, and it isstill restricted to 12 members who meet ev-

We’ve been asked if skin looks orange after

a Mystic session. The short answer is - not

at all. Before Mystic Tan, most self-tanners

were creams and lotions applied by hand.

That meant inconsistent coverage. Too muchlotion applied in one place left the skin looking

orange. Not enough lotion left unattractive

streaks. The MagneTan technology ensures

a uniform spray covers the entire body in the

exact amount needed to produce a smooth,even, natural-looking tan.

Unfortunately, Heather was diagnosed with mylodisplasia, a medical term for bloodcancer in 2005. After five years of bloodtransfusions, she was diagnosed with full-blown leukemia, and she needed an urgent

bone marrow transplant. After many trips to thePeter Lougheed Hospital

and the Tom Baker Can-cer Centre, she was senthome “in good health” in2010. But a year later herlungs collapsed and she was rushed to ICU at theFoothills Hospital. Even-tually, she returned homeon 24/7 oxygen, and ispleased to announce atthe time of writing thisarticle, that “she is in verygood health” and no lon-ger on full-time oxygen.Not a day goes by whenshe doesn’t thank the

saints and angels of the Peter Lougheed and Tom Baker hospitals for their professional

care and guidance.She admits that Dale has been her “Dia-mond in the Rough,” and without him shecould not have proceeded.

Reflecting on the last 45 years – Dale com-ments that when they had the paper route,they probably knew 75 per cent of the folksliving in Strathmore. But now, sadly, with allthe changes, he doubts if they know morethan 5 per cent or maybe even less.

They have lived in this wonderful com-munity for 43 years, surrounded by greatneighbours, who in the early years helpedthem grow up, as well as helping with theirfamily.

“We, the Cockx Family, are grateful andproud to have been, and continue to be,residents of this beautiful part of the worldcalled Strathmore, Alberta,” they said.

A sign in Dale’s office states: “And I Thinkto Myself, What a Wonderful Place.”

The Southern Alberta Music Festival is back forits second year at Aspen Crossing this weekend, Aug. 22-23.

The two-day event features 19 southern Albertaartists playing a variety of sounds from country, to blues, to folk and even rock.

The event was first started last year as a way to

help raise funds for High River after the devastat-ing floods.

“It is just such a great community event, it’smore than just an Aspen Crossing event, last year we raised money for the High River disaster relieffund and that was the major (charity) and thenthe (Mossleigh) Lions Club did the bar and beergardens and so they were also able to make somepretty good money last year,” said Jason Thornhill,owner and founder of Aspen Crossing.

“This year we wanted to have the major one be STARS Air Ambulance and of course the Li-ons Club is doing the bar and beer gardens againand (Arrowwood) 4-H kids are also telling people where to park and collecting $5 per car. 4-H getsto keep all the proceeds from parking.

“It’s also a great opportunity for all these local

artists as well to get their name out there and geta chance to be heard. I was surprised last year justhow talented (they are) … I was just amazed.” Artists include Tanya Ryan, Chet DeFreeze,

Freeline, the Free Beer Band, Drew Gregory, Syka-more and Tim and the Toad.

So far 300 tickets have been sold, but Thorn-hill and other organizers would love to see 1,000tickets sell, which would bring in approximately$15,000 for the various charities involved.

Musician Larry Vannatta had approached Thorn-hill about the possibility of working together to bring the festival to life, and so far the partnershiphas proven to be a success, and even includes a

partnership with the Calgary Stampede, who haveloaned their travelling stage for the event the pasttwo years. A third festival is definitely already being

planned for 2015, and then the organizers willlook at the success of the event and determine ifit will keep going. The Aspen Crossing campground is booked for

the weekend, but there is space in the pasture be-hind the music festival for people to camp out. Tickets will be available right up to the start of thefestival, and are selling at $60 for regular seatingfor the full weekend or $85 for reserved seating.Regular seating means bring a lawn chair or blan-ket, and reserved gets you a spot in the first fiverows in front of the stage. To see the full list of performers, or to buy tick-

ets for the Southern Alberta Music Festival go tohttp://www.aspencrossing.com/#!music-festival/c1zfa or call 1-866-440-3500. The show starts at 7p.m. on Aug. 22, and at 11 a.m. on Aug. 23.

Those who routinely use the bridge access on Hwy 547,leading into the village of Arrowwood, will be glad to hear bridge repairs have begun.

The flood had damaged the abutments and there has beenno access to Arrowwood on that road since June 2013.

General Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure for Wheatland County David Churchill said the closure was nec-essary due to safety concerns, but he is glad to see that re-pair is finally underway.

He stated repairs will be done to make the bridge safe;however, no improvements to the bridge will be done at thistime. The bridge spans the main access road to areas on the

Siksika reserve and it is the most commonly used route from

Hwy 1 to Arrowwood. The alternate route diverted travelers back west, circling around to Highway 22X, which is a muchlonger route.

Business owner Bill Graff is also happy to see work beginon the bridge.

Graff said he was giving the alternate directions to his cli-ents almost three times a day.

Businesses in Arrowwood had suffered from the bridgeclosure, some businesses experiencing up to 50 per cent re-ductions in overall sales. The local car wash had to closedown due to declining business. Many of the First Nationspeople use the Scotiabank in Arrowwood for their financialservices. Workers told Graff that work on the bridge will be com-

pleted by October and he expects that business will bounce back to normal and customers will resume their patronageof local businesses.

Chairwoman Melody Wilson of theCommunities in Bloom organizationsaid that plans for a community gardenare on hold pending the receipt of thegrant money from the Fortis Communi-ty Naturalization Grant. The grant wasdesignated for projects that improvedthe community in environmentallyfriendly ways. Strathmore and Hussar were just two of the lucky recipientsfor the grants. Wilson said that Fortishad some organizational problems thatdelayed the funding, but she thinksmoney should be coming from them inthe near future.

Hope Community Church has gra-ciously provided the site and the idea was to construct 12 garden beds, each6x12 feet in dimension. Residents couldrent the beds for the growing season,planting anything their imaginationcould dream up. Water would be provided through water barrels on the site.

As for gardening advice, Wilson ishoping that people will network.

“That’s the amazing thing about this… we are hoping the older gardeners will share their knowledge with those

new to gardening, mentoring them asthe gardens grow,” said Wilson. Wilson said they would be looking

for people to help construct the garden beds and will put a call out shortly forhelp. Wilson hopes the beds will be con-

structed by spring of 2015, which willgive prospective gardeners the fun ofplanning their garden over the winter,or getting the family involved in anoutdoor activity that presents many re- wards by harvest season.

When the calendar yearturned over to 2014, Alberta,Ontario, PEI, Quebec and

Saskatchewan all increasedtheir minimum wages. Alberta saw the lowest in-

crease at just 1.8 per cent,going from $9.95 to $10.20an hour, which will take ef-fect Sept. 1.

Even with the small raise, Alberta still has the lowestminimum wage in Canadacompared to the highestminimum wage provincessuch as Prince Edward Is-land, who went from $10.20to $10.35. Ontario leads withan $11 minimum wage. With Strathmore being a

smaller centre, one would

think this would be a set- back to local businesses and

box stores such as Canadian Tire, and popular diningspots such as Original Joe’s.

However, that is not thecase, as many chains nowpay employees over mini-

mum wage.“From just specifically our

store, it really has no effect because we are hiring at a wage higher than minimum,”said Randy Orford, Strath-more’s Canadian Tire owner.

The type of employees that would come close to that wage would be the students, but more experienced em-ployees would be paid more.

“For us it is not a big is-sue because it is irrelevantexcept maybe if you are aserver in the bar/restaurantindustry where tips are a fac-tor,” Orford said.

He believes that wage in-creases were more substan-

Strathmore businesses not concernedwith minimum wage increase

tial in places like Ontario, where hehad owned a store previously, as theearnings went up in increments. It af-fected how many were employed in thestore.

“The labour conditions in Alberta,

and certainly in Strathmore, are suchthat we would not hire at the minimum

wage,” said Orford. According to Orford, entry-level em-

ployees are being hired and they areoften wanting the job to gain experi-ence. Demand for workers in the em-ployment market may also have an ef-fect. This new minimum wage increase

would have to rise substantially for it tohave a true impact on working condi-tions in Alberta.

From a restaurant perspective, Strath-more Original Joe’s General ManagerBlake Chayer hasn’t yet consideredchanging wages for his employees and

business.

“The servers actually make a separate wage. They make a lower wage thanthe minimum and already know thatcoming in,” said Chayer. “Obviously wehave management in different situa-tions and they are making higher.”

“I think we will go with the flow, whatever the minimum wage will beis what we will pay our servers. It isa business at the end of the day,” saidChayer.“ Under different circumstancesthe kitchen staff are always paid aboveminimum wage. I am surprised theminimum wage thing did not happenearlier and being in Alberta, we have apretty good economy. I did not know

we were still the lowest.”

Chayer believes that he is pretty gen-erous with his staff.“I worked in the kitchen for 10 years

before I became manager here and I always try to compensate them as muchas I can because I realize it is a stressfulunderpaid job,” he said.

Strathmore Canadian Tire owner Randy Orford

does not see any impact on hiring practices due

to the Canada wide minimum wage increasesthat will take effect on Sept.1.

The 12th annual Strathmore Women’s Leaping DogRacing triathlon was a success for participants and or-ganizers alike. Overall, the event went smoothly ac-cording to event coordinator Deanne Jabs.

“It was bit of a disco fusion, especially when youstart something new (the duathlon) when you are usedto a certain system,” said Jabs

“The duathlon added a new dimension and we didchange the run course to allow for more bike paths.

The ladies really liked that with less residential andrunning on sidewalks.” The only real concern for the event was getting

enough volunteers with the racers but they camethrough and the credit goes to them for all their efforts.

“We had phenomenal help. You can’t say enough

about the Town of Strathmore, they really embraced

us,” said Jabs. The race got some international attention with par-

ticipants coming from Europe and Asia.“We had participants from Kuwait and France. The

Kuwait person had found it on a Google search andplanned their vacation around this event,” said Jabs.

“The girl from France is an exchange student that wanted to do the race and she found out that whenthey picked her up the airport, she entered that morn-ing.” The girl from Kuwait was appreciative to be in the

race that she showed her grate fullness to the volun-teers.

“During her run, she was touching every volunteerand thanking them. She was so full of gratitude and

being sincere with handshakes,” said Jabs.Out of all the racers participating, about half of them

are new to the triathlon scene.

“I think we had over 70 first timers. Out of 208, 70first timers is pretty good,” said Jabs. The race was a great success but like other events

can always improve and do some adjustments.“It was a huge success and we might be switching

the race (to) the end of June next year. We are kind ofdoing some planning right now thinking of doing it a

bit earlier,” said JabsHosting the event in Strathmore as opposed to the

big city was a benefit to the organizers and athletes be-cause there is less congestion and more track-friendlyroutes.

“It is not the big city, it does not have a lot of con-gestion and there is really no problem with traffic. Thetown starts to embrace it and they enjoy people com-ing from all over,” said Jabs. The 2015 race is tentatively slated for June 28.

Fantastic finish

Down. Set. Hut!

The Wheatland Kings

held their condition-ing camp last week at

the Strathmore Family

centre. The coaches

were very impressed

with the aggressivestyle of play displayed

by the players.

The Strathmore Reds hosted the Tier 4 Mosquito provincials July 25-27 at the Strathmore Ag

Grounds. The team played their hearts out in the rain and in the blazing sun. They made it all the wayto the playoffs on the final day, where they lost in a close battle against the Camrose Cougars with

a score of 24-20. The Reds finished third in the province and had a fun filled team spirited weekend.

Players from the Strathmore Community Football Association’s peewee and senior Spartans teams

gear up for another season during the registration camp on Aug. 18-19. The first home game of theseason is the Bantams open on Aug. 30 against Rocky Mountain House at 1 p.m.

The Wheatland Kings hockey club was impressed with the turnout of play-ers at the conditioning camp and eagerto open main camp on Sept. 1.

“I think camp was a very big success because of the amount of kids that haveturned out. We were looking at camp acouple of weeks ago and saying ‘are wegoing to be able to fill it?’,” said assistantcoach Joel Robinson.

“It was really nice to see the camp

filled.” The players competed hard againstone another and that is what caught theeye of the coaches.

“The competition level is exactly where we thought it would be and ev-erything the kids said that they weregoing to do, they have been doing, soit has been really hard decision for uson who is coming to main camp,” saidRobinson.

Local players have committed to theteam and Robinson believes that is astrong starting point to building theteam in Strathmore.

“I think that is one of the biggestthings for us is building a team withthe Strathmore presence in our line up

which is big for our fans if we have theright number of locals in our line upand the right mix of guys,” said Rob-inson.

Robinson, who worked with Head

Coach Jeremy Blumes with the CalgaryRoyals program, is very optimistic thatit is an exciting time for Strathmorehockey fans.

“I am actually really excited to be apart of the program we are putting to-gether.”

“I think that once we start regularseason and exhibition games, a lot ofother teams in the league are going totake a look at Strathmore as a team to

be reckoned with,” said Robinson. As a coach he is thrilled to the out-

come of what this team is shaping outto look like.

“That is the biggest part is watchingthe team form and jelling. We are herefor the kids and want to watch thempurely develop,” said Robinson.

Camp attendee Curtis Robinson is al-ready invited to main camp and thinksthe conditioning camp is step in furtherdevelopment.

“You get a feel of who is out at yourcamp and start to know people andlearn what the coaches want from you,”said Curtis.

Curtis has a familiarity with Blumesand his systems making it more com-fortable for him going into main camp.

“It would be awesome to play here because the coaches run a good system

and a good group of guys so far,” saidCurtis.

Strathmore hockey fans, get readyto cheer on the hometown WheatlandKings as action is fast approaching.

Four-time Canada Olympic Women’shockey gold medalist Hayley Wick-enheiser is coming to Strathmore Ca-nadian Tire on Aug. 30 from 12 p.m.to 3 p.m. The appearance is a part of

the celebrations for the store’s secondplace finish in the Red Ball campaignnation-wide. Labrador City, NL tookfirst place. The Jumpstart program assists less

fortunate kids between the ages of 4 to18 in registration, gear and transporta-tion costs for sports. Through the campaign, the Strath-

more store raised $14,108 in May forthe Jumpstart program.

“We sold red balls in our store for themonth of May. We put a challenge outto the business community to donate to

it as well and that paid off,”said Shelley Orford, ownerof the Canadian Tire along with her husband Randy.

From 2005 to 2014, theStrathmore chapter has dis-persed $51,384, which hashelped 373 kids to get theopportunity in sports. According to Orford,

Strathmore should beproud of what has been ac-complished.

“For the town, mostly it isa recognition for their sup-port in the Jumpstart,” saidOrford With well-known Canadian hockey

player Wickenheiser coming to town, itis very rewarding to the store.

“We are very honoured and excitedto have her. We worked hard to finish

second in the Red Ball cam-paign and we are delightedto bring her here,” said Or-ford.

Orford said it was thanksto community effort thatthe Strathmore store wasable to finish second in theRed Ball campaign.

“We were trying to get inthe number one spot for thelast three years so to comein second out of 400 storesin the country is pretty ex-citing.” Wickenheiser will be

available for autograph ses-sions and will be playing in a streethockey game with players from theStrathmore Minor Hockey Associationin the Canadian Tire parking lot on Aug. 30.

Pat Fule knows a thing or two about coaching and reallylikes to share his knowledge to the kids at the STARS (Selfappraisal Teamwork Attitude Realistic goals Spirits) volleyballcamp ongoing all week long.

Fule’s emphasis in the camp is teaching the kids the basicsof how to play the game of volleyball properly.

“We really work hard on teaching them the fundamentalsof footwork and how it is three steps to hit and we teachthem the arm swing for hitting,” said Fule.

“We just try to give them a good background in the basicsof hitting, serving, setting and bumping.” The camp also provides further development for players

who play in their normal high school league.“When (some players) get to Grade 7, they want to try out

for a junior high team and have a chance at making it. Someof the ones here are going into Grade 9 and they have playedon their junior high teams, so they have been with us sinceGrade 1 or 2 in volleyball and hopefully we have given themthe good background that they can do well at a higher level,”said Fule. The groups are based on comfort level in their age groups.“We try to keep them in their skill levels so if they are in a

younger group and a smaller group, we’ll try to lower the netand try to get them together and call them ‘the Rookies’. Thenmy junior high kids we nickname ‘Old School’ they know

where to go for drills and games,” said Fule.Barret Clics has enjoyed coming back to the volleyball

camp, as this will be his sixth year in the camp.“It is really fun and it’s not too serious. It really teaches you

how to play and how to improve your skills,” said Clics.“I did not really start volleyball until I came to this camp

and now I am going to try to make the team going into juniorhigh.”

Clics favorite thing about the camp is the games at the endof the day.

Kennedy Hampson, who has been attending the camp foreight years, said she really has fun with Coach Fule and howhe teaches the camp.

“He is a really laid back. He does not get too mad at you if you do something wrong, instead he helps you” said Hamp-son.

Hampson’s favourite part about the camp is serving. STARS volleyball camp is on-going all week, Aug. 18 - 22, at Strath-more High School.
