The biggest event of the year, the Centen-nial Gala, is approaching fast. The Gala will be held on Oct. 15, and ticket sales have been extended to Oct. 10, giving people just a few more days to purchase theirs.

Town Councillor and centennial committee member Bob Sobol feels there may be misin-formation floating around and wants to clear things up.

“This isn’t meant as something that we’re inviting a whole bunch of politicians or spe-cial guests to. Everybody who is attending this is paying for their own ticket, and that includes all visiting politicians and guests,” said Sobol.

The Lt. Governor and the Master of Cere-monies are two exceptions to this. There will also be just over a dozen seniors attending free of charge thanks to a generous donation.

“Someone in the community has kindly of-fered to donate two tables for seniors. This donor has given 16 chairs, and I’m in the pro-cess right now of communicating with some of senior groups in an effort to have some of the seniors attend as our guests.”

Sobol said the committee recognizes that attending the Gala at $75 a ticket is not a cheap venture. He said committee members have stated a night out in the city could eas-ily cost close to the same amount and is fairly comparable.

“We feel we’re offering so much more for the price. It’s going to be a fabulous meal, the entertainment is going to be unique, it’s an 18 piece band,” said Sobol.

“There’s many surprises that are going to be taking place during the night, there won’t be any cost to the participants. I think for the money being spent it’s a good deal, and I just really hope that everybody who would like to attend really does give us a call and order some tickets.”

The Gala has always been committed to breaking even and Sobol said it is not some-thing that is being augmented by taxpayers. While there was a centennial celebration fund approved by council earlier this year the total amount approved will not be used. He said it has always been the intention of the committee to break even based on having 300 people attend.

Currently the number of tickets sold is clos-ing in on the 200 mark, and though it may be lower than 300, Sobol is confident there will be a lot of last minute ticket purchases.

Strathmore’s young cowboys compete! Bull Rider Greyden Eiserman aims to hold on for eight seconds during the Strathmore High School rodeo Oct. 1-2 at the Ag Grounds. Despite their young age, the skill of the competi-tors at the high school rodeo level is very high, which made for a very exciting weekend.All of the club members had excellent performances. Shane Krywcun ended up winning the Steer Wrestling Buckle. “The volunteers did an excellent job putting together a very suc-cessful rodeo,” said Dan Dowler Strathmore and District High School Rodeo Association President. “We would not be able to pull this off without them. It is great to see so many people out to put on a top level rodeo for District 1 High School Rodeo association.”

There was a little excite-ment in the air at the Strath-more Civic Center this past weekend as Amanda Bazant held the first Bridal Show-case for upcoming brides in and around the area.

Well over one hundred people attended the well-crafted event, from moms and daughters to engaged couples and girlfriends. Twenty three exhibitors dis-played their wares and of-ferings.

Everything that a bride could think about was avail-able to help make their special day everything they wanted it to be, from Herbal Magic to help you lose that little bit of extra weight, to Sew Delicious out of Carse-land (a company that fo-cuses on dress making, al-terations and cake design). Jewelry home-based busi-nesses like Stella and Dot (Heather Fabris in Strath-more) and Fifth Avenue Jewelry and Lia Sophia had their jewelry there for po-tential brides to try on.

All those who came to the event had their names put into three draws that took

place at 3 p.m. The Grand Prize was a three month lease on a Ford Fiesta from Byron Smith Ford (won by Stacey Groeneveld). There was also a prize of a month of Wedding Coordination courtesy of Studio B Events and a Handy Bride Set cour-tesy of Home Hardware.

Bazant began thinking about the Showcase during a school project she was working on. She graduat-ed from Mount Royal with an Event Management de-gree. Her instructors at the time thought her idea to be something new and innova-tive to offer to a community outside of the hustle and bustle of Calgary. So after a year of planning, while she worked full time at ATB Fi-nancial in Calgary, this proj-ect became a huge reality.

One of the many exhibi-tors, Cody Gregory (a local photographer) has known and has had many opportu-nities of working with Ba-zant since high school days.

Bazant “is awesome and definitely has worked hard to get here,” said Gregory. “What sets her apart from other event planners is that she is so organized and ev-erything she works on is a

well thought out plan. (Ba-zant) researches everything and keeps up to date with new, current and trendy ideas. She also has an amaz-ing creative flair that you can see showcased here to-day.”

Bazant already has plans for next year and would like to not just focus on brides, but to encompass all types of events in the communi-ty including anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas parties and corporate events.

She wants to be able to showcase through her ex-hibitors what Strathmore and area truly has to offer - a rapidly growing commu-nity outside of Calgary that thinks outside the box and has some big city ideas with small town charm and pro-fessionalism.

Any and all information for next year’s event, espe-cially for those who want to participate please contact Amanda Bazant at Studio B Events in Strathmore.

The Brentwood Elemen-tary School junior choir has recently added a former student as their new piano accompanist. Carly David-son, now a Grade 10 Strath-more High School student, jumped at the chance when asked by Brentwood’s mu-sic teacher Carolyn Steeves.

“I got asked and I always kind of wanted to do it, so I thought it would be an ex-perience,” said Davidson.

“We’re really looking for-ward to Carly doing it. She’s very excited to do it and was thrilled when I asked her, and it’s going to be a big learning curve because she has never done any-thing like this before,” said Steeves.

Davidson has been play-ing piano for 10 years, seven of which were under Steeves’ direction. Davidson said she likes all of the clas-sics, especially Bach. She has played her own music but said she hasn’t gotten to the point of writing it down.

Not only is Davidson gaining valuable experi-ence, she is also getting

work experience credits through school, an option she doesn’t think is usually available to Grade 10 stu-dents.

Every Tuesday she will have rehearsal, and will be playing at all of the junior choir concerts. Davidson also said she is looking for-ward to when she can play on the Jubilee stage.

“(I’m) so excited, like all those stars who have been on there. I think I’m going to be very nervous when the time comes, but now I’m just excited,” said Da-vidson.

Davidson will be mak-ing her debut in November when she will be playing during the Remembrance Day performance at Brent-wood School.

Encana, political representatives and interested parties were at the grand opening of the compressed natural gas, CNG, station located just outside of Strathmore on high-way 817 on Sept. 28.

“It was a dream Randy (Eresman) had three or four years ago. He said, ‘you know we’ve really got to work on natural gas demand; we need to use this energy for North America. I think it’s the time to do this,” said Eric Marsh, Executive Vice-President, Natural Gas and Senior Vice-Presidents of the USA division.

Eresman is Encana’s President and Chief Executive Offi-cer, and he was personally was unable to attend the open-ing.

“Encana is leading by example as we convert our own vehicle fleets to natural gas and help build the necessary infrastructure to support its expanded use as an alterna-tive fuel to gasoline or diesel,” said Eresman in a press release.

“Operating a fleet of vehicles on natural gas is both an economic and environmental advantage for our business, and we are inviting other business operators and consum-ers to join us in capturing the benefits of this clean, abun-dant, and more affordable fuel.”

The natural gas industry currently employs nearly 3.4 million people and every one per cent increase in natural gas production creates up to 35,000 new jobs, Eresman continued.

Encana currently has 39 trucks converted to run on natural gas, which costs approximately $11,000 per ve-hicle to do. There are CNG stations in Strathmore, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, and Banff. Encana also has plans to build one in Drumheller.

Encana has 128 of its approximately 1,400-vehicle North American fleet running on natural gas.

“Today, there are more than 12 million natural gas ve-hicles worldwide but less than one per cent of them are in North America. Yet our continent has the most to gain, economically and environmentally, from fueling its vehi-cles with natural gas,” said Marsh.

“We have estimated 100 year supply of natural gas at current consumption rates, but the resource only counts for 25 per cent of the continent’s total energy mix.

“The precedent has already been set in Europe where natural gas figures far more prominently as a transporta-tion fuel, and the technology for natural gas vehicles is proven, reliable, and safe.”

Beginning in 2012 Encana Natural Gas expects to offer the Strathmore station fueling services to other corporate fleets in the area, and to the public at a later date.

Both the CNG and the liquefied natural gas, LNG, a die-sel replacement, operate similarly to gasoline-powered vehicles, getting about the same miles per gallon, but at a cheaper cost. It is also safer; in the case of a leak, natural gas will dissipate or evaporate into the air.

Natural gas vehicles are also the greenest option; it re-duces carbon emissions, emits fewer toxic and carcino-genic pollutants and emits little to no particulate matter.

Everyone wants each birthday to be special, and for one Rockyford resident, her 23rd birthday will be something she will never forget. Dani Gariepy was crowned as one of the Calgary Stampede 2012 princesses on Oct. 2.

“When my name was called, I was overwhelmed with emotions, so happy, so excited; I had to fight hard to keep the tears in,” said Gariepy.

“I have never felt so thrilled in my life, my adrenalin was pumping. I thought to myself, finally, my hard work has paid off. All I wanted to do was to win and make my fam-ily, friends and community proud, and become a leader and role model for other girls.”

Not only will Gariepy be a part of the Stampede’s cen-tennial royal party, she is also one of the first to wear the new crown after the 1996 design was retired.

“Being one of the first girls to wear the new crown was so exciting, and I felt honoured to be presented with the new crown,” said Gariepy.

“The crowns were locally made by Becker Buckles in Airdrie. They are so beautiful and represent the elegance of the stampede very well. Being a first to wear the new crowns tags along nicely with the other unique aspect of being royalty for the 100th anniversary of the stampede.”

Gariepy currently is in her third year of nursing at Mount Royal University, MRU. She also plays ringette for MRU and works for residence services.

“My life was busy before I even ran for Stampede roy-alty. I might have to make some slight changes to my life right now in order to fulfill the duties of a Stampede prin-cess, but I am willing to do so because this is a once in a life time opportunity and I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” said Gariepy.

The queen and two princesses will be attending training sessions twice a week for eight weeks in order to become orientated to the Stampede family, and to find out every-thing they have in store for 2012. They will also be attend-ing events in and around Calgary immediately.

One of the main reasons Gariepy wanted to take on the role of a Stampede royalty member was to become a role model for other young girls in the community. Being a di-rector of the Rockyford Horse Club and a coordinator for the Rockyford Royalty Contest helped Gariepy to decide to pursue this new role.

“After mentoring the Royalty program in Rockyford for a few years now, I thought that it was my turn to put myself in the shoes of the girls that put their name forward for Rockyford Royalty,” said Gariepy.

“Now that I have been successful, I am hoping with the skills and confidence I will gain throughout the year, I can give this back to the young girls of the Rockyford program.”

That’s right, its fire

prevention week. Time to check those batteries in your smoke detectors.

Candles are a huge fire

risk, especially this time of the year with our holiday festiveness. Don’t leave candles unattended, not even in your pumpkins, (they can burn you know!) Not on the table by your fancy thanksgiving decorations or

by the nativity scene.

Just a little FYI; there should be a smoke alarm on every floor of your house, even your basement. The life span of a smoke alarm is five to 10 years. Batteries should be changed every year, and tested every six months.

Thanksgiving The native peoples of the

Americas held ceremonies and festivals to celebrate the completion and bounty of the harvest long before European explorers and settlers arrived in what is now Canada. Early European thanksgivings were held to give thanks for some special fortune. An early example is the ceremony the explorer Martin Frobisher held in 1578 after he had survived the long journey in his quest to find a northern passage from Europe to Asia.

Many thanksgivings were held following noteworthy events during the 18th century. Refugees fleeing the civil war in the United States brought the custom

of an annual thanksgiving festival to Canada. From 1879, Thanksgiving Day was held every year but the date varied and there was a special theme each year. The theme was the “Blessings of an abundant harvest” for many years. However, Queen Victoria’s golden and diamond jubilees and King Edward VII’s coronation formed the theme in later years.

From the end of the First World War until 1930, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day were celebrated on the Monday closest to November 11, the anniversary of the official end of hostilities in World War I. In 1931, Armistice Day

was renamed Remembrance Day and Thanksgiving Day was moved to a Monday in October. Since 1957, Thanksgiving Day has always been held on the second Monday in October.

Thanksgiving Day in Canada is linked to the European tradition of harvest festivals. A common image seen at this time of year is a cornucopia, or horn, filled with seasonal fruit and vegetables. This represents the “Horn of Plenty”, which was a symbol of bounty and plenty in ancient Greece. Turkeys, pumpkins, ears of corn and large displays of food are also used to symbolize Thanksgiving Day.

Letters to the editor

To the EditorOnce again, a surprise candidate has become the

new leader of the Progressive Conservatives and thus automatic Premier.

Alison Redford, who only garnered 19% of the vote on Sept. 17, is now our new Premier. This could not be called a rogue or abnormal result as this is the third time in a row that the leader in the first ballot has gone down to defeat. Indeed, the process almost encourages such outcomes.

Gary Mar received 41% in the first ballot, more than Redford (19%) and Doug Horner (15%) combined. What changed in two weeks? Certainly there wasn’t the animosity between the camps that led to the first “accidental” Premier – Ed Stelmach. Even though Red-ford and Horner supported each other, it took some-thing much more significant for Redford to win.

The significant factor was the thousands of new “members” that the Redford campaign was able to sign up in the two weeks between ballots. It is clear than most of these new signups were “five minute” Tories. Indeed, it appears that many had affiliations with other parties and most were not of conservative persuasion.

By promising to pump back some $107 million dol-lars in Education funding, Redford was able to attract hundreds, if not thousands, of supporters involved in education. Her stance on health care had similar re-sults. This is the abuse that I am referring to.

Election of party leaders is generally confined to party supporters. Although there is always the num-bers game in nominations, nothing compares to the process in selecting the P.C. leader. Virtually all cred-ible parties have a time limit in purchasing member-ships (the federal Conservatives require three months) in order to be eligible to vote.

Not only does this requirement not exist for the provincial Tories, memberships can be sold between ballots, right at the door before voting. This allows candidates, such as Redford, to use taxpayer’s money

to entice anyone of any political stripe to throw down five dollars and cast a ballot.

We have a new Premier that would be just as com-fortable in the Liberal party – someone who has prom-ised massive spending increases – a seamless transi-tion from the Stelmach regime that destroyed our debt free status and now is hoping for $100.00 barrel oil in order to maintain the current forecasted shortfall of $1.3 billion in the current year.

Peter Lougheed created in 1976. The government has not put any revenue in the account since 1987 de-spite the explosion of revenues in subsequent years. Indeed, this government has spent the interest and dividends generated by the fund (the fund earned $269 million between April and June of this year), thus masking the real operating deficit.

The recent stock market downturn will mean a sub-stantial drop in Heritage Fund value, which will have to be reflected in the latest quarterly results ( July – September). Although the variances, due to stock mar-ket values, have to be expected, the sad bottom line is that this “rainy day” fund is becoming less valuable because of the spending habits of this government preclude adding to the fund.

The Heritage Fund is no longer the powerful in-strument that Peter Lougheed envisioned. By not en-hancing the fund when revenues exploded in the last decade and in the first years of the current decade, the government destroyed its very purpose. By spend-ing the revenues generated by the fund, even in good times, they made a mockery of the legacy.

It appears that every day is a rainy day under the Dome.

Phoebe Fung, the owner of Calgary’s. The Vin Room was in Strathmore on Sept. 28 to talk about transitions dur-ing the annual Wine, Women, Wisdom evening. Fung had been employed in the oil and gas industry and one day after discovering a passion for food and wine, she decided to leave her career and begin some-thing new.

Concerns have been raised repeatedly about the water and sewer treatment plant, and I would like to clear things up and ask the residents of Strath-more to please understand and be patient.

We were compelled to put it in the new system because Alberta environment told us we had to. It was designed for 30,000 people, which council at the time anticipated the town population would in-crease accordingly.

Because it hasn’t, 13,000 people are paying for a system that is affordably sustained by 30,000 people. This cost will eventually be offset, and one way we are trying to do that is by adding the new industrial park.

There were also some unknowns in regards to the plant, such as the $4.8 million a year in opera-tional costs for both the water and sewer. Admin-istration has reviewed the numbers and searched

for a solution, or a way to decrease those costs and there is nothing we can do at this point.

I’m open to suggestions, if anyone has any ideas on how to help us out, I would be more than will-ing to listen to them. As it is, we are working hard to keep costs as minimal as we can.

One way to help keep costs down in your own home is to conserve water. Water is golden and is quickly becoming a precious commodity that we can no longer afford to take advantage of. From attending the Bow River Basin Council meetings, I have heard them quote that by 2050 the Bow River will be in serious trouble if there are not water res-ervoirs put in place.

Another way to do your part is to check the plumbing system in your house on a monthly basis. Make sure there are no leaks or constantly running facets.

In Strathmore we care, Mayor Steve Grajczyk

A day in the mazeThe corn maze was busy on Sept. 21 when 280 students from Brent-wood elementary School explored the maze. Students had brought in twoonies earlier in the week to help raise money for the Cheadle Lions Food Grains project. The $500 the students raised, works out to $2,500 towards the project, thanks to a deal with the government which see’s them add $4 to every dollar donated.

The time has come once again to ‘Fill that Bus’, an annual event designed to gather food for the food bank.

This is the third year for the event and the main goal is to fill the bus full of all sorts of non-perishable items to help those in need.

“It’s very important. Any contributions we can get are greatly appreciated,” said Brain Allemang, public relations coordina-tor for the food bank.

The project began through a partner-ship of three companies; Laurie Shannon and her general manager Gurpreet Uppal are heading things off on the Boston Pizza side of things, Bill Crawford for Chinook Credit Union, and Susan Fowler from First Student Canada. First Student Canada is donating the bus for the day.

“We want to keep it in the community, and we want to help out the community however we can. We are a small town and people do need it when the tough time hits, it’s very hard,” said Uppal.

Last year a snowstorm rolled through early in the day and so the campaign didn’t do as well as the previous year. The goal this year is to beat last year’s numbers, and hopefully even the first years numbers.

Allemang said the food bank is looking for things like peanut butter, jam, rice, pas-ta and snacks for kids for school.

The bus will be parked outside the Chi-nook Credit Union, on Main Street, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. People are encour-aged to help out in any way they can. The food bank helps between 20 to 25 families per week, and relies on the continued sup-port of the community.

Boston Pizza will also be holding a spa-ghetti-eating contest in November to raise money for the Christmas hamper society. Teams are still needed to enter the event, and anyone interested can contact Boston Pizza to find out more.

Local author Samantha Atkins was at the Strath-more Library last Sat-urday Oct. 1 to read a few chapters out of her self-published book Sub-girl. Samantha is also a teacher and mother and has previously published two other books, expec-tations: A Continuation of Pride and Prejudice, and What’s it Like to Grow up in Banff.

At 1:40 a.m. on March 22 a fire raged through a home at the corner of Briarwood Road and Briarwood Cres-cent in Strathmore. Four neighbouring homes were evacuated for the safety of the occupants due to the severity of the fire and wind direction. The occupants of the residence where the fire started were not home at the time. A second residence next to the first, was dam-aged by the fire.

The Strathmore Children’s Choir is getting ready to prepare for a new year, with the first rehearsal scheduled for Oct. 6. This is the fourth year for the Children’s Choir and this year there are two choirs.

“Our Bravo choir consists of kids in Kinder-garten and Grade 1, and has 16 members. Our Encore choir has grown a lot since last year, now with a membership of 36 kids grades 2 to 6,” said Loralee Laycock, director for the Strath-more Children’s Choir.

“The choir was started because we wanted to provide an opportunity for kids in the commu-nity to come together and sing, outside of the great music programs they already had in their schools. We wanted to teach kids the value of

music, how it can affect them in a positive way, and how important it is to belong to a group that is working together for a common goal.”

Each year the Children’s Choir performs a Christmas concert, and others in March and May. The Encore choir also competes each year in the Drumheller Music Festival in March.

Due to the increased enrollment the Christmas concert will be held at the Hope Community Church this year in their sanctuary on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. The choir may also be singing the nation-al anthem at one of the Bisons hockey games as they did last year, though the date has yet to be confirmed.

Registration for the fall season is full, though Laycock said they will happily accept new mem-bers starting in January. To find out more in-formation go to www.strathmorechildrenschoir.com.

Concerns with vandalism and litter just off of Range Road 250 between Township Roads 242 and 244 have residents looking to Wheatland County council to approve a solution. There has been a problem with garbage on the road which, other than the people causing the problem, is only used by the residents and oil companies along the road.

There are also three pivots and pumps being almost continually vandalized which is creating a problem for everyone, including the county.

A request was made to council to put up gates at either end of the road. The county can’t give permission to put gates on the road, but there are a number of gated roads in the county.

Water treatment may already be Working

The first treatment of SHAC Ponder was put into the Gleichen reservoir last week, and though the water is already doing better it may not nec-essarily be because of the new product. David Churchill, Manager of Transportation and Infra-structure for Wheatland County, said it could be because of the cooler weather or a number of other factors, and said next fall will be the true indication of how well the new treatment works.

SideWalk Work complete The sidewalk work in Gleichen and Rosebud is

completed, and residents are happy with the way everything now looks. Some work still needs to be completed on the streets, but it can be put off until spring.

Looking to lock the vandals out

Sacred Heart Academy parents, teachers and students were treated to a spaghetti dinner put on by the parent council on Sept. 29. The dinner is held twice a year, and the money raised from the evening goes into a fund to take care of the school grounds, and for school equipment. The dinner has been taking place since the schools inception 10 years ago, and the money from the first seven years helped bring and build the playground and school yard into what it is today.

People driving past, or heading into, Canadian Tire in the past month may have noticed it has been under-going a facelift.

The store will have its grand re-opening four-day sale on Oct. 13.

Randy Orford took over the store this past January, coming here after owning and operating a store in To-ronto for four years.

“We liked the town, we’re from B.C. originally, so we wanted to be back out west. There wasn’t many commu-nities that have the growth potential that Strathmore has, that was what drew us here for sure,” said Orford.

“Certainly we’ve been ex-cited about coming in here, and then to redo the store. We’re looking forward to kind of showing it off at the of the project.”

Hockey Hall of Famer Lanny McDonald will be at the store on Oct. 15 signing autographs, and a number of other events will be tak-ing place at the location during the four days.

The store has undergone a major facelift inside, which Orford said would make people feel like it has expanded even though they haven’t actually added square footage.

“We’ll have a bunch of stations where customers

can access Canadian Tire’s website or Google, or what-ever they want. It can be used by staff and custom-ers, but our staff will have more opportunity to access information and customer queries,” said Orford.

He said the idea is to cre-ate a better customer expe-rience, something Canadian Tire stores across the coun-try have been working on.

Marks Work Warehouse is also undergoing a facelift, which should be done later this week.

“We’re remarketing our-selves, a little bit of a re-branding going on. We’re not going to be Marks Work Warehouse any longer, we’re going to be known as just Marks,” said Rebecca Hines, store operator of the Strathmore Marks

“So it’s something similar that’s been happening with our Calgary locations and we were lucky enough with the renovations at Canadian Tire to have them happen to our location as well.”

She said the experience itself in the store is going to change, and though they are already customer ori-ented, it will be taken to a new level.

The store carries ladies wear and casual men’s wear and while workers are still the main focus, they have a little bit of something for everybody now and want to be able to promote it better.

Did You Know? Because Canada is north of the United States, its harvest comes earlier in the year? Accordingly, the Thanksgiving holiday falls earlier in Canada than in the United States. The Canadian Parliament set aside November 6 for annual Thanksgiving observances in 1879. In 1957 the date was

shifted to an even earlier day, to the second Monday in October.

Strathmore High School, SHS, stu-dents had a chance to test their culi-nary skills while racing the clock dur-ing an iron chef competition held in the food studies room.

“Alberta Communities Choose Well decided they wanted to have a pro-gram, that involved youth and older adults,” said Lisa Sader with HEAL, Healthy Eating, Active Living.

“They feel that younger kids need to be cooking more so they thought that an iron chef might be a way of in-teracting the children with the adults on a collaborative project.”

She said Alberta Communities sug-gested organizing an iron-chef style competition and that the secret ingre-dient must be a local ingredient, so Saskatoon berries were chosen.

The four chefs who competed were

Sarah Harward, Abram Weissig, Ash-ton Payton and Kayla Betts. Each of them also had a SHS staff member help them out.

The students all approached Carol Wachsmuth, the Food Studies teacher, about being a part of the competition. They all picked their own recipes and only had to make one part of a meal, whether it was dessert or a main dish.

Weissig prepared the winning dish, making pan-seared duck breast with Saskatoon berries, and Marcella wild rice with mascarpone cream cheese and sour cream sauce, topped with Saskatoon chutney. His cooking partner was LaRue Kiemele, an SHS teacher’s assistant and professional caterer.

As the winner, Weissig will be head-ing to Edmonton on Oct. 15 to take part in the Iron Chef Provincial com-petition and will have up to $500 paid towards his expenses.

Abram Weissig and his cooking partner LaRue Kiemele show off their winning dish.

Strathmore High School was the host to an iron Chef competition in the food studies classroom on Sept. 30. Four students volunteered to take part in the competition, with the winner Abram Weissig heading to edmonton for provincials.

attraction of the day was the Cake Walk, you paid $0.50 to participate and then played musical chairs around a table filled with delicious cakes. When the music stopped everyone sat in their respective chairs and a number was drawn to see who would win the cake.

Harvest begins for the Cheadle Lions food grainsThe combines and balers were seen filling the field at the site of the Cheadle Lions Food Grains project. The Lions harvested their barley fields on Sept. 29. The barley was grown to auction off to help raise funds for the Canadian Food Grains bank, and for local charities. The straw will also be auctioned off, and the corn maze to will silaged soon.

Carseland publiC benefit Club

Since 1912 the Carseland Public Bene-fit Club’s intention has been to augment programs for those in need as well as provide a service to improve community welfare.

As a not-for-profit organization, the PB Club exists solely to promote the health, well being, safe-ty, and education of the general population of the Carseland district. For ninety-nine years the PB Club attempts to fill or enhance any void in needed service areas that relate or affect Carseland and its surrounding pop-ulation. The PB Club is not facility driv-en, nor sports or agriculturally focused, but has supported a variety of popula-tions within the larger county area (i.e.: seniors, children, maternity, voluntary associations).

Historically the PB Club has been for female members only. However this was more due to the fact that the men were either working the land or serving in the armed forces. The division of labor was so much more distinct back then; females predominantly did stitching and cooking. In 1998, “open membership” was discussed and it was agreed that any community member was welcome to join. There has yet to be a male mem-ber. The Carseland Public Benefit Club does have a broad-based membership of ladies living in and around Carseland township.

In April 2012 the Club will celebrate their 100th Anniversary. Because their original undertakings included exten-sive support to the Red Cross (for ex-ample: knitting socks for deployed sol-diers, sewing bandages and slings, and maintaining a Prisoner of War Fund) they have chosen a military theme to celebrate their centennial. The Club be-lieves the power of future community success lies within our next generation and, in this theme, has invited the Al-berta Army Cadet League to participate in their celebration; showcasing their training, discipline and commitment of youth to building our nation.

Feature Decade: 1942-1952

Feature Decade: 1952-1962 Feature Decade Member: Meurice (Mickey) Cool

Meurice Irene Kirkland was born and raised in Regina where she attended school and enjoyed playing basketball. When Mickey was a teenager her family moved to Calgary where she graduated from Crescent Heights High School. She enrolled in the Art Program at S.A.I.T. and while there she met her future hus-band John. In 1953, John and Mickey were married, and the city girl who had never been on a farm settled quickly into the rural way of life. Together they raised the fourth generation of Cools:

Geraldine, Lynn, Sandra and Michael. Mickey is a talented artist, avid golfer

and curler and enjoys sewing and knit-ting. However, her greatest passion is her family; she is their biggest cheer-leader, and has spent countless hours in the stands attending events over the years. Mickey is a wonderful person, known for her kindness and sense of

humour, she is always eager to help friends and neighbours and contrib-ute to the community. Mickey joined the Carse-land PB Club in 1956, and is now an Honorary Life Member.

For many years the Carseland PB Club was

the backbone of the community. Their mission was to enhance the commu-nity and provide service where needed. Members were very creative in fundrais-ing by holding bingos, dances, raffles, amateur nights and card parties. They were kept busy catering every commu-nity event from baseball tournaments, 4-H Sales and Lions suppers to showers, funerals and auctions. They sent cards and flowers to the sick, hosted the an-nual Grandmothers Tea, were active in the school and donated money to nu-merous charities.

Other PB Club members during this time were: Agnes Atkinson, Joyce Avra-menko, Jeanne Barlow, Chris Burwash, Phoebe Berquist, Francis Bishop, Hazel Blair, Babs Bonitz, Stella Bonitz, Edna Briscoe, Kristina Christensen, Nettie Christensen, Margaret Christensen, Bea Cole, Helen Cole, Mae Dalton, Bernie Dick, Alice Downey, Helen Field, Lillian Filatoff, Maureen Garnett, Stella Gilham, Doris Groves, Mary Hayne, Yvonne He-levang, Bertha Hilliard, Stella Johan-son, Marie Kruse, Elva Lausen, Leona Lausen, Agnes Lennox, Alma Lennox, Joanne Mace, Helen MacKenzie, Mickey Malmberg, Helen Melendy, Vera Nelson, Frankie Ostrom, Beryl Page, Dora Page, Grace Phillips, Ivy Podmaroff, Ruth Sea-mans, Lydia Slater, Mary Slemko, Elea-nor Taylor, Carol Thomas, Hilda Way, Irene Wooley and Betty Wyndham.World events from this decade:

•1952 – King George VI of England died and his daughter Elizabeth was proclaimed Queen of England.

•1955 – Churchill resigns as PM of Great Britain.

•1960 – John F. Kennedy is elected President of the United States.

PB Club events from this decade:•1950’s – The Red Cross permit PB

Club member Alice Downey to give pen-icillin injections to the community.

•1952 – The Club starts a monthly newsletter called “What’s The News” to keep the community informed. Adver-tising is sold for $0.25 and an annual subscription is $1.00 including mailing charges.

•1958 – Membership dues are raised to $1.00.

Standard students, Rosebud stu-dents from the School of the Arts and homeschoolers were diligent in pray-ing for their schools, GHSD, teachers, and classmates.

“CONVERGE”(from Matthew 18:20) is the theme for See You at the Pole 2011, the Annual Global Day of Stu-dent Prayer. The event was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 28, at schools across Canada, the United States and in many other countries.

Other nations have launched SYATP movements with their own promotion-al efforts, including Australia (where it was observed in 2011 on May 26; see stories at www.syatpaustralia.com).

This is the 21st anniversary for See You at the Pole, a student-initiated and student-led movement that started in the Ft. Worth suburb of Burleson, Texas, in 1990. SYATP brings students to their school flagpoles to intercede for their leaders, schools, and families, asking God to bring moral and spiri-tual awakening to their campuses and

countries.Morgan Miller, Christopher Ever-

ett, Marissa Dumonceaux, Stephanie Larsen and Emily Hostland, all from Standard School gathered at the flag pole in the yard of the school on Wednesday last week to recognize the international event held in many cities around the World.

See You at the Pole, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten stu-dents praying at their school. Twen-ty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September.

See You at the Pole is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. Adults may participate by pray-ing at home and standing at the edge of the organized event. The students do it all!

After their first game of the season, UFA Bisons head coach Jeremy Fries-en knows that there are a lot of things to work on with his hockey club.

That being said, he is very pleased with the team’s overall performance in their home opener versus the Leth-bridge Pronghorns.

Kevin O’Rourke and Alex Bechtold each scored and goaltender Wilson Sproule made 20 saves, as the Bisons earned a 2-2 draw versus the Prong-horns Oct. 2 at the Strathmore Family Centre.

“I thought we had some really good opportunities - I thought we saw some good things,” said Friesen “Our d-zone was not too bad - it’s fairly new to a lot of the guys and we’re still adjusting. Our penalty killing was fantastic.

“All-in-all, for the first game of the year, I think we saw a lot of good things and that’s a good starting point.”

According to Friesen, he was happy with the offence and the way they controlled the puck and the way the defence joined the rush.

With that in mind, he felt that there were points in the game where the Bisons dominated the play.

“I thought we out-chanced them, (but) we need to take advantage of our scoring opportunities,” said the coach. “We need to make sure that it doesn’t come down to one goal in the third period. We had enough op-portunities where we should have put them away early.”

Bisons veteran and newly-appoint-ed captain Mitch McAllister echoed those thoughts.

“We had great scoring chances - we outplayed them a lot of the game, but we had a couple of mental lapses,” said the Chestermere native. “In the end, it’s a 60 minute game and we come out with a point.

“Our depth is a big part (of our suc-cess) - we have a lot of guys who can put the puck in the back of the net. Also we have d-men that can control the backend and our goaltending is solid as well.

“I can’t wait to get the season roll-ing.”

Despite the nerves that most of the players felt early on, they were excited to get the season underway. According to O’Rourke, who notched

his first career triple-A midget goal, things started a little rough, but the nerves quickly faded as the game went on.

He settled down enough to notch a beauty goal.

“I saw the puck open on the far boards, so I picked it up. I had a lane, put it on net and luckily it went in,” described O’Rourke of his goal. “It felt unbelievable as you can probably tell by the celebration. It was (really) good.”

The Bisons will now hit the road for a pair of games against North Di-vision opponents. The team will take on the Lloydminster Bobcats and Ed-monton’s J. Ennis Kings on Oct. 8-9 respectively.

According to Friesen, “it’s the per-fect time to do it. It was a long pro-cess to finally get the roster (set) and I think it’s going to be good just to get them away.

“It’s going to be quite the hike up to Lloydminster, so it’s going to be good team building-wise … to spend time with each other and get to know each other.

“The more comfortable they are off the ice (with each other), the more comfortable they are on the ice.”

Bisons make a point

The Strathmore senior football team again played two games this week, the first on Sept. 27 in Airdre. The Spartans were locked in a defensive battle against the Burt Church Chargers with the end score being a 0-0 tie. The Spartans were very strong on defense as the Chargers were inside the ten yard line three different times. It was looking like the Spartan offence was going to be able to put points on the board moving the ball through the air, in backup quarterback James Nakamura’s first start of the year. The game was full of strong play from the whole defense throughout.

In the second game of the week, the Spartans were at home facing the Canmore Wolverines. It

was another big game for running back Dakota Barrie, running for over 100 yards, and slot back David Kuljanin, making a number of huge catches. Once again, Strathmore’s defense took over the game forcing four turnovers, two of them intercep-tions by corner back Mitchel Lund. On the offence, running backs Chris Reed and Dakota Barrie moved the ball down the field all game, resulting in a 10-0 win. The Spartans are now 2–0 at home for the season. There is one more league game left in Olds against the Spartans, (the Olds team is also called the Spartans), on Oct. 8.

The seniors are not the only team with a game Saturday - the Bantams play in Stettler and the Pee-wees play against the Red Deer Hornets in Red Deer. All three games should be close; hopefully all three teams can come home with a win.

The Wheatland Warriors AA bantam team opened their 2011-12 cam-paign with an 11-0 route of the Southwest Rockies Oct. 1 at the Strath-more Family Centre. The Warriors travel to Red Deer on Oct. 8, before host Airdrie the following day at the Family Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. Meanwhile the Wheatland Braves peewee team opened their season with a pair of road wins, 11-4 over Lacombe and 6-4 over Foothills. The Braves will host the Bow Valley Oct. 7 (7:30 p.m.) and Airdrie on Oct. 9 (4:15 p.m.). The Wheatland Chiefs opened their season with a pair of wins over Lethbridge and Sylvan Lake this past weekend.


Warriors dominate Rockies

It may be early in the season, but Wheatland Kings head coach Doug Murphy sees a distinct advantage that his team may have for the new cam-paign.

With veteran netminder Richie Hub-bell in the fold, Wheatland added for-mer Fort McMurray tryout Bryce Halv-erson to the stable, providing the Kings with a solid 1-2 punch in goal.

The dynamic goaltending duo, which debuted this past weekend, is putting a smile on Murphy’s face.

“Our goaltending is obviously set,” beamed Murphy. “One of the things that you really have to be cautious of is that you don’t end up relying on them (too often, but) we certainly have goaltend-ing that can win games for us – even steal games for us. That’s a real good spot to be in

“As a tandem, I don’t think we’ve seen anything better.”

In his first game with the Kings, Hal-verson made 46 saves en route to a 3-2 overtime road win over the Medicine Hat Cubs on Sept. 30.

Parker Georgsen scored the game winner, while Ty Goodeagle added a goal and an assist to lead the Kings. Mark Good scored the other goal for the Kings.

“We got off to a slow start and finally got it going in the third period,” said Murphy of the game. “We played rea-sonably well – we’re still trying to find chemistry with different guys, but the guys have more confidence (than be-fore), especially in overtime.

“And some of (Halverson’s) saves were ridiculous. He’s 6”3’ and he used every inch of his body to make some of them.”

The following night, at home against the High River Flyers, the Kings burst out to a 2-0 lead before surrendering four straight goals, en route to a 6-4 loss.

“It was like two different games in the first period,” said Murphy of the home game. “The first 10 minutes, the guys were pressuring, forechecking and we had High River closed in their zone and they couldn’t do anything. We took ad-vantage of it and went up 2-0.

“Then (we) stopped playing the sys-tem, things fell apart and we had a real mental lapse at the end of the first pe-riod (allowing a late goal).

“We changed goaltenders after the fourth goal, when they went up 4-2. It was no fault to Richie (Hubbell), he had no chance on either the third or fourth goal, but we had to send a message to the other guys that it was time to wake up and not hang the goaltender out to dry.”

The Kings managed to tie the game with a pair of quick goals in the third period, before High River scored with just 1:12 remaining in the game. They iced it into an empty net with five sec-onds left to earn the win.

Wheatland will now play host to the Cochrane Generals Oct. 8 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre, before traveling to Coaldale Oct. 9 (4 p.m.) to take on the Copperhead.

Kings offer scholarshipThree lucky players from the Wheat-

land Kings are eligible to apply for the new Kevin O’Keefe Memorial Scholar-ship, which will be awarded later this month.

The scholarship is in honour of Kev-in, the father of the Kings’ first captain, Miles O’Keefe.

Kevin fought a courageous battle against Lou Gehrig’s disease before suc-cumbing to the disease in August 2010. The scholarship will honor Kevin’s zest for life, dedication to family and friends and his unrelenting spirit throughout his courageous battle.

“We’re just putting the application together for the players,” said Murphy. “Over the next couple of weeks, the guys will fill out the application. The coaching staff and the O’Keefe family will look over the application and talk about who we think is deserving.”

The awarding of the scholarships will be based on criteria identified by Kevin, which include financial need, integrity, determination and a positive team atti-tude.

The scholarships are available to cur-rent Strathmore Wheatland Kings play-ers enrolled in a post-secondary edu-cation program, continuing education program or apprenticeship program.

Three $1,000 scholarships will be awarded at the beginning of each sea-son, based on a written request submit-ted by the players.

The scholarship will consist of a $500 credit toward the player’s current year’s team registration fees and a $500 cheque to be used towards educational expenses. Schooling, travel, accommo-dations and a player’s financial need will be taken into consideration in selecting the recipients of the scholarships.

The players will be recognized and presented the scholarship by a member of the O’Keefe family at a home game sponsored by Animal Care Centre of Strathmore. Contributors to this award currently include the Animal Care Cen-tre of Strathmore, Grove Contract Oper-ating and Murphy Christie Management.

pouring of love towards our family during Ward’s illness and passing. A special thank you to Peter and the Staff at the Strathmore Station, Lakis and staff at the Travelodge,

Dr. Sader and staff, Francis (Lynn) and staff at Wheatland Funeral Home and all Ward’s brothers from the Masons.

We feel so very blessed to live in such a caring and loving community.

Life is precious…… cherish every moment!

Thank YouWATTS, Inez (nee Seright)September 24, 1921 – September 30, 2011It is with great sadness that we

announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Inez Watts at the age of 90 years. Inez is survived by her daughters, Patty (Jack) Stewart, Bonnie Reddekopp, and Sandy (John) Zwaal; her nine grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Mom is also survived by her two sisters, Joyce (Phil) Grace and Mabel Sadler, as well as her sister-in-law, Helen Montgomery and her extended family which includes the Stewart, Johnson and Matlock families. Inez was predeceased by her husband of fifty-nine years, Bruce Watts, in 2001 and her eldest daughter, Darlene Nicholls, in 2006. Inez was born and raised in Calgary, but relocated to Strathmore with her daughter in 2005 and most recently resided at the Wheatland Lodge. Mom was always proud of the volunteer work she did at the Sarcee and Boyak Nursing Homes in Calgary. Some of her most cherished memories are the years that she spent with the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and was most honoured to receive the Mrs. Eagle Award. The family would like to thank Dr. Onwudiwe and all those who took such great care of Mom while she was in the Claresholm and Strathmore Hospitals as well as the staff of the Wheatland Lodge. You are all truly wonderful people. Mom wished to pass these final words on to all her friends and loved ones:

Miss me, but let me goWhen I come to the end of the road,

and the sun has set for meI want no tears or gloom filled rooms –

Why cry for a soul set freeMiss me a little – but not too long,

and not with a head bowed lowRemember the love that we all once shared

Miss me, but let me goFor this is a journey that we all must t

ake and each must go aloneIt’s all part of the Master’s plan,

a step on the road to homeWhen you are lonely and sick of heart

see family and friends we knowTake time to heal, tho’ we must part

Miss me, but let me go.

“Think of the good times – not the troubled ones” “Be kind to one another” A memorial service will be held on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at Strathmore United Church at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the M.S.

Jerry Flaws JV Girls Volleyball Coach

The Spartan JV Girls Volleyball team hosted their annual tournament this past weekend. With some of the top teams in the zone attending there was some amazing volleyball to watch.

Strathmore beat Chestermere, Can-more, Acme and Burt Church in the round robin, going undefeated.

“We needed our top players to per-form and they did,” said Jerry Flaws.

“The girls played well and with their work habits it will only get better.”

In the Semi-finals the Spartans came against Brooks, who are always in the running for the zone championship. The Spartans were able to win the close match (24-26, 25-22, 15-13).

The Spartans then played the Ches-termere Lakers in the final again. This was a rematch from the tournament a couple of weeks ago at Holy Cross.

Unfortunately the Spartans could not muster up enough energy to win their home tournament. They captured the silver medal and are off to a great start to the season.
