City Looking For Community InputUnofficial off leash park becoming legit in the near future

By Michelle Young

Chestermere residents are forsure a pretty passionate group when it comes to their canine family members. On any given day, no matter if it’s sunny +30 or a freezing -30, residents can be seen taking advantage of Chestermeres pathways and taking their beloved pooch for a walk. Over the years, the northwest are of the lake has organ-

ically become an off leash dog park. With no actual reg-ulations or signage, it simply became the place to go to take your dogs for their off leash stroll. But as the public

has made it loud and clear that they would like a dedi-cated off leash park, the city is now looking to residents to tell them what they would like to see as they work on making this an official off leash park. “City staff are collecting information about the current

off-leash area in order to ensure our park spaces are wel-coming and respectful for all park and trail users,” said Katelyn Richards, Community Recreation Coordinator at the City of Chestermere.Richards went on to explain that she has already con-

ducted focus groups with animal experts (veterinarians, animal trainers etc.) to get their thoughts on off-leash/dog park etiquette, park safety and dog owner responsibilities. “We want to make this a multi-use space for those that want to bring their dogs here, but also for those that want to enjoy the area but don’t have a dog”. The project has now moved into the next step which

is an online survey which asks questions to surrounding concerns, needs and expectations for off-leash spaces in Chestermere. The online survey is accessible now and the city is encouraging all residents, whether you’re a dog owner or not, to complete it. “Your input is very important to evaluate the current space and plan for future park spaces in Chestermere”. The survey will be open until March 24th and can be taken by visiting www.chestermere.ca/offleashChestermere’s current off-leash area is located along the

northwest side of the Lake with parking available at John Peake Park. The off-leash area does not start until you reach the pathway just in front of the library and ends before the entrance to Lakepoint Drive. New signage has begun to go up at the park entrances

and throughout the park to help define the boundaries of the space and remind users of their responsibilities. Dogs must be on-leash until you reach the off-leash area signs located at all entrances into the Park. Dogs must be placed on leash before exiting the off-leash area as well.Enforceable Rules of the off leash park are:• Handlers must have complete control of their dogs

at all times.• Handlers must pick-up after their dogs.

• Dogs must have a City dog license tag If you do not have your dog licensed you can find the

Dog Licence Application Form on the City of Chester-meres website, will in the form and submit payment to the Municipal Office. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered: $35. Dogs that have not been altered: $55. Registrations expire each year on December 31st. The last step in the project is that the information col-

lected from the survey will be addressed in an off-leash workshop open to Chestermere residents. More informa-tion about the workshop will be made available shortly.“We are thrilled to have the ability to connect with

residents and get their valued feedback on the current off-leash area and trail,” said Richards.Following the survey and workshop, Parks and Recrea-

tion will present Council with recommendations provid-ed from this consultation process and their research in May 2016. A copy of the report will be released to the community.

In an effort to keep this space useable for all, the City is asking for your feedback and input on the off leash dog park located at the northwest end of the lake Photo: Michelle Young

Learning From Those That Have Been Here Since The StartA conversation with Elaine Peake

By Michelle Young

Since Chestermere was nothing more than a few cabins on our beautiful lake, Elaine Peake has called Chestermere home. Living in Calgary, her life in Chestermere began in the mid 1960’s when she and her late husband, John Peake, had a summer cabin here. As soon as it became permitted to live out here year round, Elaine and John made Chestermere their fulltime home. I sat down with Elaine, we discussed the changes that

she’s seen over the years in what is now known as Alber-ta’s newest city, what she feels about some recent events and also her love for Chestermere. We began our conversation with something that up until

recently, I had not realized we had in common – when the Chestermere Anchor first started, Elaine was the first reporter. Immediately feeling humbled, we discussed our writing styles, the things she wrote about and also found out that she has quite the love of writing. “I always liked to write. Although I never had an education in writing, but in Grade 5 I did win an award in school for some-thing I’d written”. Elaine explained that when her five children were

grown and she had some free time, she began taking some courses at the University extension courses and some through the Provincial Government which she says gave her some great contacts and she began writ-ing for a magazine called ‘Heritage’. “I freelanced and when we still lived in Calgary and had our cabin in

Chestermere, I started to write funny columns about living at Chestermere. Which did get me in some trouble with the acreage or farm owners as they didn’t’ like the fact that I called it ‘Muddy Puddle’. But it was just supposed to be funny and talk about the crazy things that happen when you summer out here”, she explained with a mischievous smile on her face…another I learned that she and I have in common. Elaine went on to write for both the Rocky View News

and the Rocky View Times which increased when she permanently moved to Chestermere and began writing a column. She also has done writing for many Western Canada magazines on a variety of topics and interests. In 1977 and 1982 she also co-authored two books on the Calgary art scene which entailed her and her co-author walking through the streets of Calgary checking out the public art.Elaine they reflected on her time writing with for the An-

chor. “I did the odd interview –of course it was not nearly what it is today as we were just a little village. The thing was though is that I always covered council meetings from right off the bat. When we had nothing but an Atco trailer and there was only the Mayor, two councillors and a secretary. That was it. That was what ran the whole town. I covered those early meetings but that was before I wrote for the Anchor as it was for one of the Rocky View papers. Later on when Steve asked me, I said that I didn’t’ think I would cover council meetings again as I had done it for so many years”.

“One of the things that I’ve always said about Chestermere is that we all moved here because we liked what we saw”, said Elaine Peake in a recent interview. She has called Chestermere home since it was just a summer village in the late 1960’s Photo: Michelle Young

Elaine explained that it was her attend-ance of those early council meetings where she really got her education and interest in running for politics. “I was on council for two terms as a councillor and when the then Mayor retired, so I de-cided I would get really brave and go for Mayor”. Elaine ended up serving for ten years on council, with half of that being Chestermeres Mayor. “My husband had been on council, he

had been very active with the lake front owners – which is why the park is now named after him (referring to John Peake Park). Then he died very unexpectedly and a couple years later, because I’d been covering these council meetings and I was working on the history book, and some of the neighbours and my friends would say ‘you should be on council’. So I decided ok why not. I was only 56, too young to just give up and sit at home as it was hard to fit in now that I’d lost my husband, even though I have great friends who were still good to me, but it is different when all your friends are couples. I found that council was a wonderful way to keep busy and interested in what is happening”. As mentioned, Elaine served for ten

years and said that when she chose to step away she felt it was a good time. “I don’t think you should stay in there for too long. I saw the village through the process of becoming a town and that was quite a big thing for us. When he became a town we had to have more councillors and a separate Mayor’s elec-tion and I just thought that is was a good time to step away. I had a lot of satisfac-tion out of it and one of the biggest thrills for me was when we got city water. We finally had really good water and that was a real thrill and to think that I was Mayor when that happened. Very rewarding”. It was after her time in the world of politics when Elaine began writing for the Anchor where she worked into writing a column. In discussing the things currently affect-

ing our City, I asked Elaine, now a proud 91 years old, about what she thought of Chestermere becoming a city. “I didn’t think it would make much difference….and it hasn’t as far as I can see”. Elaine then directed me to one of her columns that she wrote back in 2008 when she wrote about the predicted development of Chestermere. In her column she stated

the following “ ‘The future is not some-thing we enter, but something we create’. That’s a direct quote from Mayor Mat-thews in the introduction to the Commu-nity Survey that we in Chestermere are being asked to complete. She couldn’t have said it better. Those eleven words capture the very essence of planning, whether it’s in our personal lives or, in this case, the life of our community”, wrote Elaine. “One of the things that I’ve always said

about Chestermere is that we all moved here because we liked what we saw. We moved out here when just the basics were here – the very basics and yet the idea of being on a lake and away from the hustle and bustle was very tempting. So that’s why we moved here. But even the people that move here next week will move here because they like what they see”, explained Elaine when I asked her about the growth and development in Chestermere. So with many decades now calling

Chestermere home and her six children, many grandchildren and seven great-grand children all close by, Elaine says that she vowed on the day her husband passed that she would stay right here in their home in Chestermere. She gave her gratitude to her children, friends and neighbours that help her with tasks around her home and yard that enable her to get to stay in the home she loves so much. Our interview ended with a final ques-

tion. I asked Elaine what her favourite thing is about Chestermere. “The most comforting thing to me is that I’m known so well around here. And every time I go to something, I see people I haven’t seen for years – and I must admit I’ve forgotten a lot of their names – but I always know who they are. But that is one of the really rewarding things is that almost at any public function or into a store that people remember me and we have nice conver-sations and it makes me feel good”. I think we can all learn something from

those that have called Chestermere home since the beginning. Those that have loved this community so much that they raised their children here, gave back and volunteered countless hours to make Chestermere the great community that then the rest of us moved to. To give us all the reason “I moved here because I liked what I saw”.


Chestermere’s First Canine Convention Is ComingK9 Con is set to be a highly inspirational convention for dog lovers

By Michelle Young

Chestermere has its fair share of amazing trade shows, markets and events at the Chestermere Recreation Centre, but now it’s time for the dogs to take over. On Satur-day June 18th dog experts and enthusiasts will be participating in the first ever K9 Con. The K9 Convention will

offer the opportunity to meet with other like-minded people who know and love man’s best friend. The con-vention offers a range of quality guest speakers on topics ranging from dog psychology to health and nutrition to training to the role of dogs in society, and lots more. There will also be a canine-based trade show where all vendors are offering products and services that improve your dog’s quality of life.The convention is being organized by the Chestermere

Therapy Dogs Society (CTDS) whose president, Steve King, said “The convention is a unique event which combines both guest speakers with a canine-based trade show: everything is about dogs. I wanted to give dog lovers the opportunity to learn about what is happening in the canine world but done in a fun, interesting way. It’s also nice to have Chestermere leading the way (again!) on this unique initiative”. King continued saying, “The goal for this event, apart

from fundraising for CTDS, is to provide people with the opportunity to learn more about man’s best friend, how they can help their own dogs lead a healthy, more meaningful life and stimulate people to action, whether through involvement with CTDS, starting agility, working towards the Canine Good Neighbour certification or any other canine related activity. My own personal goal is to have people leave the convention feeling happy, more aware of what’s happening in the canine world and feeling that the day they’ve spent with us was very worthwhile”.This full day event will have speakers such as Megan

Armstrong, Heather Forsyth, Jenn Birchall, Bob Eden, Steve King, Dr. Wendy McClelland, Pat Murray, and Dr.

Carla Simon who will speak to wide variety of topics and interests on everything canine. Aside these amazing speakers, a silent auction, trade

show, agility demo over the lunch break (weather per-mitting), door prizes, and lunch will be provided and the opportunity to learn more about how to properly care for, feed, train and play with your dog. Although the convention is all about dogs, it’s asked that only the humans attend the event. “We have a couple of booths still available (has to be

canine based vendors). More sponsors would be good. We have yet to determine exactly how many volunteers we’re going to need on the day but mentioning needing more volunteers would be useful”, added King. Early bird tickets are now on sale until April 30th for $60

and after that ticket prices go up to $70. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.k9con.com“Chestermere Therapy Dogs Society believes in giving

back to the community and we will do whatever we can to help facilitate that process”, added Steve King, CTDS President.

“We have only just scratched the surface in understanding how dogs can help us and I hope the convention opens doors to our better understanding in future” - Steve King, CTDS President Photo: Michelle Young

Hello Chestermere!

Well it has been a very interesting week at the Legislature in Edmonton, and we started off on a particularly low note. We were to have a vote in the Legislature for Deputy Chief of Committees, so a Government candidate was nominated and our very own Prasad Panda was nominated to run for this very important position. The doors were symbolically barred by Pages once the vote started as only those who had shown up by 9 am to start the session were supposed to vote. We began casing our votes when all of a sudden several Government MLAs ignored the Pages and entered the room to vote. This is a clear violation of the rules. It was obvious that something was amiss and our Wildrose House Leader, Nathan Cooper, was not pleased. He objected and as a result, the Speaker allowed a chaotic re-vote, and the government candidate won the position. Now let’s be clear that the running of the legislature is a complicated job, not a little, but extremely complex and detailed. We have three clerks that sit with us throughout our sessions to help us understand and comply with the rules

and regulations set out, but as you can imagine this can be confusing. The most frustrating part of all of this is that there is such a lack of understanding from the side of our government. It would have been one thing to make a simple error, apolo-gize and move on, but instead it turned into a truly dramatic and wasteful use of the precious time we have at the legisla-ture to get the work done that can only be done when we are all together under one roof. We as the opposition took a lot of criticism last session for questioning the validity of starting session so early in the morning. Why? Because we are in our offices by 7 AM having stakeholder meetings, or we are privileged to be invit-ed to groups that have morning programs and conferences such as AUMA and the Diabetes foundation. Well, here we are on our first day of the new session and the Government chose not to show up for work. We almost won the vote by the way, and that is because most of us were there. The story ends with an apology from the Government, but the glaring incompetence is concerning. My week would not be complete if I

didn’t speak about the importance of Mar-ket Access. This week the government in the Speech from the Throne promised to make it a priority. Many of the Gov-ernment side mentioned the importance of Pipelines in their speeches as well. Perhaps we are getting through to them. One can hope. We have a few years to work on them. Stay strong Alberta, and know that we are resilient and amazing. I love my Province, and I am proud of our resources. As always we are here to help and we love to hear from you.

RIP Patricia Anne Maillot. You were a wonderful person, wife, mother, and grandmother and will be sorely missed. Those we love all leave us too soon.

Leela Sharon Aheer, MLA

On August 8th, 2015, twenty seven climbers, after months of training, ascended Castle Mountain. Angels on High 2015 raised $107,500 and the climbers themselves

raised $35,000 in personal pledges. This summer, they are doing it all over again for the 4th year. Angels on High is a mountain climb-

ing adventure that is raising funds in an effort to build a church for St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish. On Saturday, August 6, 2016, Angels on High is taking to Mount Chester and they’re anyone who would like to join them to get involved. Rev. John Nemanic explained,

“Kevin Papke will lead the group up five practice mountain climbs in the months preceding the Mount Chester climb. Fit on the Lake’s Tamara Gutierrez will lead five one-hour group-training sessions in the Chestermere area. Her classes are exceptional, lots of fun and a great way to meet and bond with fellow climbers. There will be additional op-

portunities to climb the stairs at Prince’s Island Park, run in the Loop around the Lake, and train in weekly running and walking events. All climbers get a team jacket and shirt”. On August 9, 2014, eighteen Angels helped raise

$81,000 while climbing the Centennial Ridge, the highest maintained trail in the Canadian Rockies. Built by the Rocky Mountain Ramblers hiking club from Calgary in 1967, it is the most demanding and impressive day hike in Kananaskis Country. The trail is 21km long with a 1.5km elevation gain.In its first year, on August 12, 2013, twelve brave souls

climbed Mount Temple, the second highest mountain in Banff National Park at 3,544m. They helped raise $56,000.Angels on High 2016 is promising to be bigger and

better than ever. The fundraising dinner, silent auction and dance will be on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at the Chestermere Recreation Centre. The Angels on High climbers will ascend Mount Chester on Saturday, August 6, 2016.For $500 you can become an Angel on High and ‘get

fit for your wings’. All the proceeds will go towards the future St Gabriel parish church building. If you are inter-ested please attend one of the two climber’s meetings on Sunday, March 20th at 11:30AM or Monday, March 21st at 7PM in the St Gabriel School learning commons (197 Invermere Dr).If you’d like to learn more about the Angels on High

Calling All Businesses!Are you signed up for Lemonade Day?

By Michelle Young

The Lemonade Day phenomena is sweeping the city as donations have been pouring in! With registrations opening in just a couple short weeks, it’s time the call went out for local businesses. Why you ask? Well here’s how you can get involved. On June 11th, lemonade stands will be

popping up all over our city. This aspect of Lemonade Day is the final step. All of their planning, stand development and selling skills will now be amped up and it will now be the day where the stands need their location. This is where you come in. The youth that will be participating in

Lemonade Day need locations around the city to set up their stands on June 11th.

As they register, these young entrepre-neurs will be provided a map with a list of businesses that are willing to have them set up a lemonade stand on June 11th. This crucial part of the project helps the participating youth go through the process of picking a location for their business and also negotiations with a landlord on terms like the hours they can open their business and if there is going to be a rental fee for their space. But that’s not the only way you can help.

This project is also in need of mentors where you get to partner up with partici-pants and help them build their business and pass on some of your wisdom and experience. This initiative is also looking for gener-

ous sponsors. There has already been an amazing response from the community that believes in the importance and value of Lemonade Day. The Chestermere Lions Club, Century Carpet One, Bow Valley College, Wise & Company, Leela Aheer, Community Future Wild Rose and United Communities are our awesome sponsors so far but more are needed. Of course, the most important part of this

is going to be the youth. Registration starts April 4, 2016! Registration will be made available on-line or at City Hall. Youth can register alone or get together as a group. So whether you’d like to get involved by

signing up as a location, mentor or sponsor – there are plenty of opportunities to be a part of the Lemonade Day craze! You can visit www.chestermere.lemonadeday.org or contact David Petrovich, Econom-ic Development Officer with the City of Chestermere at 403.207.7065 or [email protected]

The Rain In Spain

Your intrepid liquor reporter was at the annual WineFest tasting event in Calgary last month, which makes 12 years of perfect attendance in a row. The early years of this bacchanalia were

held on the SAIT campus over the Valentine’s Day weekend, but it eventually outgrew that location, and moved to the BMO Centre on the Stampede Grounds back in 2008.Seeing many of the same vendors each year,

your humble narrator has become a bit more picky and choosy about which wines can be sampled over the course of the evening, as there are far too many to ever hope to try them all.This year’s strategy was to only sample wines

from Spanish-speaking countries, which seems to have served me well.While the old-world juggernauts of France

and Italy were off-limits, there were still plenty of Spanish wines to be enjoyed, as well as the new-world vendors from Chile and Argentina, and even a small selection from Peru.Despite the pounding that our Canadian

dollar has been taking of late, the new-world wines from South America are still a bargain, in part because their own economies are in even worse shape, making our Canadian dollar still worth its weight in fine wine.While your intrepid liquor reporter loves his

new-world Argentine Malbec and Chilean Carménère as much as the next person, it was the old-world wines from Spain that captured my heart.France and Italy seem to get the most hype on

this side of the pond, but it may surprise you to hear that Spain was once considered the top of the heap in the wine world.From Roman times up until the middle ages,

the finest vineyards of the known world were in the region currently known as Spain. Sadly, a little internal difficulty that we remember as the Spanish Inquisition took its toll on the local wine industry, giving those crafty French vintners the chance to surpass the Spaniards, and French wines have remained king of the hill ever since.What really sets the Spanish wines apart from

their French and Italian cousins is the ageing. The Spanish vintners love to age their wine

before releasing it, so you will generally see 5-year old Spanish wines being released at the same price point as 2-year old French wines. Those extra years in oak mean the Spanish

wines have smoothed off the rough tannins, leaving a soft and silky wine that caresses the palate while you sip from the glass.It is a testament to the skill of the Spanish vint-

ners that they can release so many aged wines at price points in the $15-20 range, making them an excellent value. While Spain grows nearly 600 different grape

varietals, the most popular red grapes are Tem-pranillo and Garnacha.Tempranillo is widely considered the quin-

tessential Spanish grape, having originated in Northern Spain thousands of years ago. The name Temprano literally means “early”, refer-ring to the tendency of this grape to mature earlier in the growing season that most other varietals.Tempranillo is sometimes bottled as a single

varietal, but is often blended with Garnacha for a more complex bouquet and finish.Garnacha (called Grenache in France) is the

polar opposite of Tempranillo, ripening very late in the season, and demanding hot and dry growing conditions.Much less fruit-forward than Tempranillo, Gar-

nacha produces flavours of tar and leather, with a very low level of tannins. These contrasts often lead to Tempranillo and

Garnacha being blended together, as the tannic structure of jammy flavours complement the spicier flavours of the Garnacha.After working my way through the selections

at WineFest, I am happy to declare Anciano my new favourite Spanish winery.The Anciano vineyards are located in the

Valdepeñas wine region, which has been planted with vines since the days of the Roman Empire. The hot and dry summers are perfect for growing Tempranillo, so all of the Anciano bottlings are 100% Tempranillo.Expect to spend around $12 for a 5-year old

bottle, $15 for a 7-year old bottle, and a measly $18 for a bottle aged for a full decade before release. These are bottles would fetch $40-$50 from new-world wineries, so they represent amazing value for such quality wines.Anciano is widely available in Alberta, and is

easy to find at Co-op, Sobeys, or your friendly neighbourhood booze merchant.

Why Hire a Personal TrainerThere are thousands of websites and

magazines focused on helping people lose weight and get fit. Many websites will take your personal information and goals and provide you with a ‘customized’ workout plan to help you reach those goals. Many of those sites are free or have a very low enrolment fee. So tell me, why would you pay hard earned money for a personal trainer to do what you could do on your own?Personalized programI know I just said you can find this on

the internet for free, so why would you pay someone for this? A personal trainer will build your plan based on your current lifestyle, health concerns, injuries and chronic pain. A trainer will provide you with a plan that will prevent further injury and work with you to strengthen muscles to help reduce chronic pain.Efficiency The job of a personal trainer

is to keep you focused on your goals. No wasted, inefficient workouts. A personal trainer will devise a plan to will help you get maximum results in minimum time. Improve technical skillsEvery profession has its specialists. Every-

one knows how to run. One foot in front of the other: like walking but a bit faster, right? A trainer who specializes in running will incorporate skills training into your program to improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agility, your body’s ability to tolerate the impact and mental focus as well. Any sport you can think of: golf, hockey, soccer, baseball, etc. will have a specialist that will help you be the best you can be at your sport.SafetyNothing frustrates me more than watch-

ing someone go through an entire work-out at the gym using improper form. Bad form puts you at risk of injury and com-pletely wastes your time. A trainer watches and ensures proper form throughout your entire workout and will provide feedback on your strengths and weaknesses. We often ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides: we either push through pain or give up too soon. A trainer knows when to push and when you need to take it easy.Plateaus It doesn’t matter how great

the plan you are on is, your results will plateau. It happens. A trainer is skilled at recognizing the signs of a plateau and will know when to jump start the plan to keep you on track to meeting your goals.AccountabilityPerhaps the single, most important ben-

efit of hiring a personal trainer is keeping you accountable to your goals. When em-barking on a new fitness regime everyone has the best intentions to make it work. A week or two into the program the muscles are sore, results have yet to show and life is busy and getting in the way. This is where most people fail; a trainer knows this and will provide the structure and di-rection you need to keep you motivated.Are you still thinking the internet is a

great place to find a workout plan? Give it a try. Maybe it will work. If it doesn’t, don’t let yourself get discouraged; there is a professional out there who can help you get back on track and set you up with the tools you need to be successful.

Honeybees and NeighbourhoodsThis week marked a very small mile-

stone for our city. In fact, it was a bee-sized milestone. City Council took the advice of city staff to allow small scale garden beekeeping in Chestermere. As a backyard beekeeper, I was elated, and so were my honeybees.Beekeeping is as old as cities. In 2007,

archeologists even found remnants of urban beekeeping right in the middle of the ancient Near Eastern city of Tel Rehov. Honeybees represent life for trees and gardens, but they also represent the buzzing, active, and vibrant life of a city. Today beekeeping is allowed in Calgary and they even have beehives on the roof of city hall. From New York to Vancouver, municipalities are realizing that pollina-tors, like honeybees, play a vital role in creating sustainable, green, dynamic urban ecosystems. Years ago I was asking some-

one in Chestermere how their garden grew. They said that they thought the soil wasn’t good, because their berry plants and some vegetables would not produce very well. Some gardeners now wonder if Chestermere may have been missing good pol-linators. Today we hope that with gardens will bloom again. Yet honeybees do more than just make gardens produce more fruits and vegetables, they also impact the lives of other plants and animals. They are part of a bigger story that ultimately shape

the quality of life that we all share.Creating healthy neighbourhoods some-

times involves paying attention to the smallest things and putting value on the health of something as apparently insignif-icant as bees. Neighbourhoods are more than a row of houses along a paved street, they are the combined efforts of everyone to create the best possible place to live and flourish. When we pay attention to the small things, from children playing in the park to the health of our gardens, from birds to those who are lonely or ill, we create more than a healthy neigh-bourhood, we create a quality city. If honeybees have taught me anything,

it’s that small acts create a big difference. As the flowers bloom in spring, thousands of honeybees will travel about playing

their ancient, often un-seen, and vital role. We, too, have the choice to make our city blossom in

our own small ways. Cou-rageous, ongoing and deter-

mined gestures of kindness and generosity will shape our city for the better. Moment by moment, we can choose to do good

things, well.So what’s next for bee-

keeping in Chestermere? That’s up to us. If you would like to be part of

the conversation, please contact me at [email protected]. Also, be sure to learn more about the guidelines for beekeeping set out at the City of Chestermere website.

Martin Shields Member of Parliament

for Bow River

I recently had the chance to criss-cross the Bow River rid-ing, which is roughly the size of New Brunswick. I hosted many community

roundtables, met with many municipal/local officials, held consultations at seniors centres, and spoke to dozens of constit-uents. One of the common themes that was touched on at most meetings was the state of Alberta and Canada’s economy. The price of oil has hurt our oil and gas sector considerably, and to make matters worse, our federal Liberal government is not giving enough support to this crucial sector. Recently, they added new layers of bureaucracy to the pipeline review process. Unfortunately, this new layer of bureaucracy means very long delays for approval, that would take possibly many years, if ever, to get the green light. Take the Energy East project for example. This project would require no money from the taxpayer, it would translate into jobs for Canadians by private sector invest-ment. There is already a strong regulatory process for pipelines through the National Energy Board process. There’s no reason why this project should be held up. I was able to make a statement in the

House of Commons about the newly

started Oil Respect Campaign, which has been gaining traction in communities across Canada. The campaign, sponsored by the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors (CAODC), aims to shed light on this industry, and about the hardworking men and women that it employs. One of the main roles of the Oil Respect campaign is to point out the inaccuracies about their industry that are often promulgated by mainstream media sources and by groups with special inter-ests that are anti-oil sands. Thankfully, the Oil Respect Campaign is able to counter many of these inaccuracies with solid facts. There are dozens of small businesses in our region that rely on the oil and gas sector. On top of the low oil prices and the low dollar, what we need is a sup-portive federal government that assists the industry, as opposed to a government that slaps more regulation on major project approvals. The Conservatives will continue to stand up for our hard-working oil and gas sector, and will continue to pressure the Liberals to show our working fami-lies the respect they deserve. I am very proud of our industry, and will continue to remind folks that we have one of the most environmentally sustainable and strongest regulatory systems in the world. I thank you for your continued support,

and as always I welcome your questions and comments. You can contact my Brooks office at 1-844-241-0020 or [email protected] , my Ottawa of-fice at 613-992-0761 or [email protected]. I invite you to visit my website at www.martinshieldsbowriver.ca.

History - Live at the Library & WhitecappersSubmitted By: Jen Peddlesden President Chestermere Historical Foundation

History will come to life on April 7th and April 14th right here in Chestermere. If you find reading ‘Chestermere a Home for all Seasons’ is a bit time consuming, then you can hear it on these dates right from the Chestermere Historical Foundation experts in costume. Stories are even better when told. This is your chance to hear what has made Chestermere the community it is, live! Three members of the Historical Foundation will present the social, economic, and polit-ical events and the changes in demographics which that have resulted in this unique lakeside community. Though Chestermere does not have the typical ‘old’ buildings and features of many of Alberta’s early settlements its history is interesting and very unique. The multi-media presentation is co-sponsored by Chestermere Commu-nity Services and will be presented on Thursday April 7th at the Whitecappers lounge, 201 West Chestermere Drive 12:00 to 1pm or bring your lunch at 11:30am to enjoy beforehand, and again on Thursday April 14th 12 noon to 1pm at the Chestermere Library.

Dear Editor

Two of the ‘We Care About Chestermere’ team were in the Chestermere Recre-ation Center collecting signatures for our petition. The petition is requesting an inquiry by the Minister of Municipal Affairs into the Chestermere municipal-ity. We had a successful weekend and have been encouraged and supported by those that signed. On Sunday (6th of March) we had one Councillor approach our table advising us that he was surprised the Recreation Center would allow us to have a table setup when the City Council has provided the Recreation Center with financial support. I reminded the council-lor that the money he was providing the Recreation Center was Tax payer’s money. He then turned to me and said I have given you enough of my time and leftOn Tuesday (8th of March, 2016) one

of our team members received a call from the Recreation Center advising her that they were moving our table location upstairs. The Recreation Center repre-sentative was helpful and thoughtful in explaining the concerns they were at-tempting to address. They were gracious enough to offer us signage directing those who were looking to sign the petition to our new location in the upper level. The new location would have been away from the regular traffic flow of people. Very

interesting to say the least that after being approach by the councillor we were asked to move our table. Chestermere City Council influence? A big shout out to the Recreation Center who provided us with a table back on the main floor! Thanks and we appreciate your support. A second big shout out to the residents

of Chestermere for continuing to show up and sign the one outstanding petition. Many of you may have already heard that the first petition apparently did not meet the guidelines of the Municipal Govern-ment Act (MGA). The City legal advisors determined that a special resolution is required to dissolve the CUI. ‘ We Care About Chestermere’ team will continue to do our best at representing the residents of Chestermere. We can’t stop until positive changes are made. Challenging City Hall is not a day trip it is a journey. Help where you can, every bit is greatly appreciated.For all of the Chestermere residents that

have not signed the petition please come out and sign. We will be posting our lo-cations on I Love Chestermere. We have until the 24th of March before our peti-tion is submitted. Come out and support your neighbors and community. We will continue to keep you updated.

Chestermere High AthleticsBrian Utley - Athletic Director

www.chestermereathletics.com

MONDAY, MARCH 14, 2016Wow, what a weekend for Chestermere Athletics: one

provincial wrestling champion, two Varsity zone basket-ball championships, a bronze medal in JV Basketball, a community provincial championship and an alumnus winning a CIS Canada West Championship. This week-end our two senior basketball teams will compete in the 3A Provincial Championships in Olds.

FORD WITT WINS WRESTLING PROVINCIALSChestermere’s one man wrestling team, Ford Witt,

finished his season on a high note winning the ASAA Provincial Combined Wrestling Championship in the 50 kg. category. Ford went undefeated with a 5 - 0 record across the two day event. He wrestled nearly flawless-ly all weekend and defeated his opponent 10-0 in the

final gold medal match. This is the first overall wrestling provincial championship won by a Chestermere student. We are proud of Ford’s efforts and pleased that he repre-sented our school so well.

SENIOR BOYS’ BASKETBALLThe Lakers continued their playoff journey this week

playing in the South Central Zone Championship. The tournament started off with the #1 ranked Lakers against #9 ranked Canmore. The Lakers struggled to find their game early but held on for an 80-53 win. The semi-final saw the Lakers up against an energetic Strathmore squad, winning 84-61. This led the Lakers against the host and #2 ranked Cochrane Cobras for the championship. The Lakers started out a little tentative, but held a 39-27 half-time lead. The Cobras made a late push and the Lakers

held off the flurry for a 75-70 victory. This is the Lakers 3rd South Central Zone Championship in a row. This leads the Lakers, this week, to 3A Provincials in Olds as the #2 seed.

SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALLThe Varsity Girls basketball team began its quest for

the South Central Zone title last Wednesday, when they hosted league rival, George McDougall, in a quarter final matchup. The girls jumped out to a quick 21-4 lead in the first quarter and never looked back en route to a 66-23 win. On Thursday, it was off to host school HTA and a game with the Brooks Lady Buffaloes. In a close game from start to finish, the Lady Lakers needed some late game heroics and eked out a 55-49 victory to advance to the gold medal game on Friday night. In the

AND COMMUNITY SPORTS 21| March • 17 • 2016 | The Chestermere CitynewsChampionship Final before a boisterous crowd, the girls battled tough and played one of its finest games of the year, walking off the court with a hard-fought 76-69 win to capture the title and a berth into the 3A Provincial Championship Tournament in Olds this weekend.

JV GIRLS’ BASKETBALLThe JV Girls’ Lady Lakers finished off their season on

a positive note earning the bronze medal at the South Central Zone Championships. In the opening round the girls had an 11 point 3rd quarter lead over HTA and were down 1 with 13 seconds left. MacKenzie Dobson stole the ball and scored the layup to secure the 46-45 win. This put the girls in the semi-final against arch rivals, Cochrane Cobras, losing once again. The JV Lady Lakers earned the bronze with a 20 point win over W. H. Crox-ford. All girls made a valuable contribution in this game. Congratulations on an outstanding season.

JV BOYS’ BASKETBALLThe JV Boys wrapped up their season this past Tuesday

with another difficult loss to George McDougall. The team played extremely well, but came up a few points short of a zone berth. Overall, the season was a suc-cessful one. The team managed third place finishes in Lacombe and Wetaskiwin while developing their skills in wins and losses alike. The boys demonstrated com-

mitment, resolve, and a love of the game that should be commended. Practice after practice, the team earned their stripes as competitive young student athletes. As their coach, it was a pleasure to watch them grow these past few months. (written by Coach Matt Turner)

TWO GENERATIONS OF LADY LAKERS BASKETBALL It was déjà vu on Saturday, coaching Grade 10 JV player

Cadence Meszaros. It was 32 years ago, on the same weekend, that I coached Cadence’s mom, Beth (Bram-ley). Cadence has been our top scorer all year and had an outstanding season. Beth was a key Grade 12 player, on my first girls team that won the 1984 league and zone championship.

ALUMNI UPDATE JASDEEP GILLIt was a pleasure to watch Laker alumnus, Jasdeep

Gill, play in the Canada West Championship, this past Saturday night. Jas, a 4th year player and current captain, played very well in helping the Dinos to a Canada West Championship and a berth in the CIS National Champi-onship.

U15 GIRLS COMMUNITY TEAM WINS PROVINCIALSLooks we have some outstanding young players coming

to our school in the next two years. The Chestermere U15 Girls’ community team won the Basketball Alberta

Provincial Championships this past weekend. They won the Gold Medal Final, 50-42. Congratulations to the players and coaches.

COWBOYS FOOTBALLThe Cowboys will have their spring camp in late May

and early June. Please e-mail if you would like to get on our e-mail list to get information about spring and fall foot-

ball. Students currently in Grades 8 and 9 are eligible to attend spring camp, as well as students currently attend-ing CHS.

GIRLS SHOOTING STARS SPRING CLUB BASKETBALLPlease e-mail me if you would like information about

the Shooting Stars spring basketball program for girls. This program is for girls at the U11, U13 and U15 levels. Tryouts start in April to play on on one of the teams.

Calgary Stampeders Shoot Hoops With CLMS Lakers#allheartstampsBy Michelle Young

On Friday March 11th, the boys and girls representing the Chestermere Lake Middle School Lakers pulled off a 57-56 win, handing Ben D’Aguilar, Deron Mayo, Bo Levi Mitchell, Rene Paredes, Quinn Smith, Adam Thibault, Spencer Wilson and defensive backs coach Kahlil Carter their first loss of the young season.The young Lakers were the first on the scoreboard, but

it didn’t take long for the mighty Stamps to catch up and take the lead. A steady and intense game had the whole gymnasium cheering! The crowd was made up of the entire student body, staff

and volunteers while Ralph the Dog and two mem-bers of the Calgary Stampeders Outriders were also in attendance to cheer on the Red and White. With music pumping, both the Lakers and Stampeders had a great time and even stopped after the game to pose for some

photos. The male player of the game received a Stamps team-

signed jersey and a Fitbit was awarded to the outstanding female player. In addition, Selfie Sticks were distributed to four spirited students courtesy of TELUS.The Stampeders Basketball 2016 season kicked off

March 8th at St. Josephs school in NW Calgary and Chestermere Lake Middle School was their second stop. For nearly twenty five years, the Stampeders have been visiting school gymnasiums in and around Calgary, giving students the chance to go head-to-head with professional athletes.“We’re looking forward to playing some hoops,” said

Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, a frequent participant in the basketball program. “It’s always a great time and my teammates and I always have just as much fun as the kids.”This great initiative is a partnership with the Calgary

Stampeders and Telus with the goal of empowering youth. “Health and wellness is very important to us,” said Shadi Sakr, TELUS sports sponsorship manager. “By partnering with the Calgary Stampeders Off-season Bas-ketball program, we are encouraging youth to play and exercise while getting a chance to meet their favourite football stars.”Each visit is for 90 minutes including change time,

game(s) and a post-game autograph session. Schools have the option of staging multiple games (vs boys, girls, senior team, junior team, etc.) or holding a single game during the allotted period. With the number of students at CLMS, an autograph session was not possible. However, following the game, the Stampeders took the time to pose with all students from each grade in order to have photos for the yearbook and as a cherished memory for all students.

The male and female MVP’s were awarded special prizes and got to pose for a photo with the Calgary Stampeders and Ralph The Dog Photo: Michelle Young

SCHNEIDMILLER, Stoney Leo May 8, 1964 – March 6, 2016

Stoney Leo Schneidmiller partner of Jane Thompson, of Caroline Alberta left us on the morning of March 6, 2016 due to a car crash, at the age of 51 years.

Stoney was known as a boisterous and deeply caring man who would do anything for anyone. He was the proprietor of SLS Trucking and was an avid biker. Those who

met him will never forget him and those who befriended him, lost a brother.

Stoney is survived by his children Raquel Schneidmiller and Chantel Brautigam (Mitchell); grandchildren Teagan Brautigam (age 4) and Cashton Brautigam (age 2);

parents Phil and Diane Schneidmiller; brother Norman Schneidmiller (Kristen); sister Julie Thomson; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his

brother-in-law Johnny Thomson.

A Celebration of Stoney’s Life will be held at McINNIS & HOLLOWAY (Park Me-morial, 5008 Elbow Drive S.W. Calgary, AB) on Friday, May 6, 2016 at 2:00 p.m.

Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

In living memory of Stoney Schneidmiller, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Park Memorial,

5008 ELBOW DRIVE S.W. Calgary, AB, T2S 2L5, Telephone: 403-243-8200.

Horoscope - Salome's StarsWEEK OF March 21, 2016

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect. Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should contin-ue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself. If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across. Try changing your approach.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go. Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unex-pected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation. However, an on-the-job matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and friends.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain mat-ter might take an unexpected turn. Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation. What you learn might be help-ful in shifting the situation around to your benefit.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confront-ing some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you enjoy tradition and stability, you also appreciate the good things that change can bring.
