Last week, on April 9, Alberta Health Services called family members of long-term care residents in to a meeting to discuss the future of the services provided at the hospital. The 23 residents of the long-term care will be moved to Sagewood to occupy some of the 35 new beds opening in the fall. The long-term care area of the hospital is cited for other uses, which are still to be officially announced some time later this year. While families and the community are impacted by this change, some of the people affected the most are the nurses and general service providers currently working in long-term care. Glen Scott, Vice-President with Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE), represents many of the affected employees. He is outraged at the way things are being handled, and worries about where these employees will go. Originally the number of employees affected was estimated at 19. Scott says it will be much more than that. Its more than 19, the numbers I was given just for auxiliary nursing staff was 23 to 27 could be affected and that doesnt include all the support staff, so really it will be a lot higher, said Scott. He is guessing that once all is said and done there will be approximately 60 people whose jobs will be affected by the closing of the longterm care at the hospital. He said under the collective agreement that those employees have, they can apply for other positions or fill vacancies within AHS, but theres nowhere for them to go. Some of them will be able to displace other people in the Strathmore Hospital because of seniority, but at the end of the day, 60 people are going to be displaced, so where are they going to go?, said Scott. Yeah, there could be vacancies or they could (go to) Calgary, but really you think people are going to want to drive to Calgary to work every day? Im not saying nobody would but somebody thats in their 50s or their 60s? There are some people that might not even have cars, that just walk to work in Strathmore. Im very concerned about the job loss of course, and I am sure that will affect the economy here in Strathmore, but hopefully they can find jobs locally in other areas (of nursing), said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.

Hales first anniversary

Shannon LeClair Times Reporter April 23, 2012 marks an unforgettable day for Jason Hale. It was the day he was officially elected as the Strathmore-Brooks MLA. Its been a long year, but one that has seemed to fly by for the now somewhat seasoned politician. Its been a great year, weve done lots in the caucus, and we came out with the (Wildrose) caucus foundation. There are lots of issues that weve been working on. The year actually has flown by, I cant believe how fast it went by, said Hale. It has been a busy year with plenty of issues brought up from the different constituencies. One of the main issues is trying to hold the government accountable to some of the promises made last year. We saw before the election a lot of promises made, they were not promises that were kept. Weve been receiving and Ive been receiving a lot of support from that with the way the government is spending money is a huge issues, you know the spending problem that they seem to have, said Hale. Recently with the budget weve seen cuts to front line services and that should not be happening, front line services should not be affected because of the spending habits of the current PC government. Since being elected into office Hale has spent the past year battling for both his constituencys rights as the MLA, but also for all of Alberta as the Energy Critic. I have learned a lot, theres a lot of issues that need to be dealt with locally that a lot of people arent aware of. Ive met so many great people, its really been a joy to serve this constituency for the past year and Im really looking forward to serving them in the years to come, said Hale. The focus for the upcoming year provincially is the budget and continuing to show where changes could be made. Hale said that also when any new legislation is brought forward he and his fellow Wildrose party members try to ensure that the best interests of the communities and the province are being looked at.

TIPS
What about pot holes?
You didnt avoid the pot hole in the road and now your vehicle has damage. What comes next? Can you sue the Heather Roberts CAIB, CPIB, CSP Town? You cannot sue the Town. H Home This could be a claim under H FARm your insurance for collision. It can affect your rates. If the H AuTo damage is close to the amount H GRouP of your deductible then you PRoGRAmS may choose to pay for your H CommeRCIAl repairs out-of-pocket. The usual procedure is to H ReCReATIon find out how much it will cost H lIFe to repair your vehicle. If the H TRAvel damage is $2,000 or more than you have to report it to the Take ACTION police. If you have decided to Against High use your insurance coverage Premiums then you need to either contact the insurance company directly or report the claim to your broker or agent. The Town is trying to fill pot holes as quickly as they can so it will get better. In the meantime watch out for the warning signs that say rough road as this can flag a pot hole area. Drive with caution at this time of year as not all spots may be marked.

Concerns about job loss arise

Continued from Page 1 He is hoping that many of those affected will apply for a position with Sagewood, though he does recognize the fact that jobs are not guaranteed for the soon-to-be former long term care hospital employees, something he and council have no control of. Grajczyk is also worried about how the move will affect the residents being relocated. Every time you move seniors its a stressful situation for them but its a situation where the government has mandated this and I am concerned about the move, but once again, and Im not trying to sound fluffy about it, but we have no control over that and Im just concerned that their cost will go up unreasonably, he said. When the government announced they would be closing Little Bow Continuing Care Centre in Carmangay it was in June and the plan was to close the facility at the end of the summer. The announcement was made with as little notice as possible, which didnt really give anyone a chance to respond or complain, said Scott. Though families were told their loved ones would remain nearby, many were scattered to different facilities in the province and those who once visited their loved ones daily were forced to deal with long drives that dont always make daily trips feasible. In Strathmore the only reason that the staff at the hospital actually got to find out when they did is because Alberta Health Services had sent a letter to the families of the people that are in the long-term care facility there and it was leaked out and rumours started so they had to let the staff know, said Scott. He feels that AHS would have held off as long as possible for letting people know because if people are informed early enough they could go find other employment leaving AHS stuck in the interim until the transition is completed. Scott said another scary thing for those people is their pensions are tied to those jobs, and that this isnt just a loss of jobs, its a loss of security in their golden years. Its brutal and why? Because Alberta Health Services and more particularly the Redford government is promoting these for-profit operators to come in to all the communities in Alberta. Strathmore is not the first community thats been hit but its one of the first, theres going to be lots more coming, said Scott. Alberta Health Services is saying, oh you know were going to grandfather these 23 seniors in. Thats all good and well if they live up to their word even, thats good for those people. What happens to everybody after those 23, what happens to your grandma or grandfather when they get older, or your mom and dad? If they want to stay in Strathmore theyre going to pay. Strathmore-Brooks MLA Jason Hale was also upset when he heard the news. It is with disappointment I heard of this sudden and alarming decision made by Alberta Health Services to forcibly relocate long term care patients at the Strathmore Hospital, said Hale in a press release. In typical PC government fashion, the Minister of Health has blindsided families and patients and has made this rash decision with no consultation or consideration of the people it will affect. This decision will undoubtedly throw the lives of patients and their loved ones into uncertainty and chaos. Further, it will force long-term care patients into a facility intended for lower levels of care. As AHS bureaucrats keep collecting their bonuses and increasing their operating budgets, they continue to make cold, secretive decisions that undermine the quality of care vulnerable Albertans receive. Hale promises to continue to seek answers from the government, and has already been questioning the Health Minister in question period about the decision made here in Strathmore.

Christ the Redeemer Schools superintendent makes way for successor

Laureen F. Guenther Times Contributor Michael OBrien, superintendent of Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools for the past five years, has announced he will retire this spring. OBrien taught and administrated in the Calgary Catholic School District for 21 years before coming to Christ the Redeemer in 1997. Working with such wonderful people, community members, parents, principals, trustees and the wonderful collaborative work of a group of very diverse communities have been the highlights of his time with Christ the Redeemer, OBrien says. Its been a pleasure to serve, and I meant that, he said. Its been a great honour. After 37 years as an educator, OBrien says his goal is now to spend time with my wife and family ... family things lots of time with family and friends. His mother is 86 years old, so he says, you treasure each moment. I want to spend time with her. Christ the Redeemer is short-listing and interviewing candidates for his replacement, and OBrien says hed now like the attention to shift away from himself. Id really like the focus put on the new person coming in, he says. In addition to meeting provincial requirements, the new leader will be a practicing Catholic and a very faith-filled person, he says, because a major part of the role is a faith leader in the schools. OBrien says spring, while everythings rolling, is the ideal time of year for a new leader to step into the role. To get them to know the lay of the land and meet people I can spend a little bit of time mentoring its just a really, really good time in leading leadership to start while things are moving along, rather than in fall when a new school year is beginning. 2013 is also a great year to bring in a new person, OBrien says. New beginnings ... new Pope, new (school board) elections, new superintendent. Perfect time. As he prepares to step aside, Id just like to thank everyone for a wonderful opportunity to serve as the Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools superintendent, OBrien says. Its been wonderful and I just wanted to thank everyone for their help and cooperation as we work together to bring the best Catholic education possible to the students and families we so love and we serve.

Sagewood eager to accept Extended Care clients

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor There are 23 patients housed in Strathmore Hospital`s Extended Care Unit that will be looking to secure a home and care services this fall, as the Strathmore Extended Care Unit will be closed. Alberta Health Services plans to transition all suitable patients to the Strathmore`s Sagewood facility. Amir Rajani, General Manager for the facility, said that by fall they will be ready for the new challenge. As far as being ready, we have done this before, we have the experience, we have the plan of how we should do it and we have the support of Age Care as a whole. We are excited and this will be a huge endeavour. It is not just for Sagewood or Age Care, this is for the community. I treat these people as if they are my grandparents. I am adding 105 (residents) to my 102. Isnt it exciting, said Rajani. Phase Two at Sagewood will open 105 rooms, in a new three story wing. There will be 35 living units on each floor. There are 70 units designated as Stage four supportive living (SL4). Thirty five units will be for clients with general SL4 supportive living needs. There are 35 secured units set aside for those clients with dementia. There are currently 20 clients with dementia living in Phase One. Those clients will be moved into the new security serviced wing, leaving 15 units for new clients, and freeing beds up for supportive living spaces in Phase One. A new secured outdoor space will open this fall, for use by the dementia patients. Rajani said elevators to the floors will be outside access doors to the floors, increasing client security and safety. Staff will have communication and video devices that will monitor the dementia patients and protect their safety. There are 35 units, located on the third floor, for the new Long Term Care clients. Rajani said he has been approached by families with family members in the extended care, to secure a space at Sagewood. Alberta Health Services requires the transfer to be handled by transition services at the hospital. For Phase One, we had a meeting with Alberta Health Services where all the profiles were assessed. Our clinical need case managers, along with the AHS case managers and transition services assessed the profiles, that was how we started, said Rajani. There were a number of at SL4 level applications, that could be accommodated by Sagewood. Whenever we open the new sections, which we are planning to open in the fall, the process will be more or less similar. Rajani said that staff for the new wing will be hired, prior to the client transition dates. As per standards, 24 hour-7 day coverage for shifts will be provided by a Registered Nurse, on the Long Term care floor. Under RN supervision, additional support staff for the wing will be Licenced Practical Nurses and Health Care Aids. Staff must complete a general orientation, a nursing orientation and a facility orientation prior to reporting for work. It takes approximately a week. The staff also helps set up the wards and are on hand for client admission. He said there is a whole admission process planned which calculates and addresses how many people will be admitted each week. The plan, from Sagewoods perspective, will map out operations and logistics based on how many people are admitted per day, each week. Each weeks progress is also reviewed. Considerations for placement in the building are based on the profile of the client, the location of the clients room as per their needs, and the staffing needs for their care. He said there will be handbooks given to family members, with all the necessary move-in information, and family meetings and tours are planned. Arrangements for specialist services are coordinated by Sagewood, for all the patients. A physiotherapy aid comes in twice a week, occupational therapists and dieticians visits are coordinated to come in as the client needs, and additional recreational therapists will be hired. A new outdoor patio is being incorporated into the relocation of the Bistro and a Recreation room is being added. New programs being offered by Sagewood are an Adult Day Support program. Seniors from the community, who live at home, perhaps under care of family members, can attend the program and engage in supervised recreational activities. It will allow them to

Capsule Comments
Caffeine is a natural bronchodilator and opens up the airways to relieve wheezing. People with asthma or other lung conditions who are going for a test of their lung function should probably not drink coffee or cola drinks before the test to get an accurate picture of how their lungs are working. It used to be thought that taking extra B vitamins helped reduce stress. Our body needs some of these vitamins to help release energy from foods but we get the amount needed from our diet. B vitamins are water-soluble and taking mega-doses will just wash out in the urine. The sunnier times of the year are coming and its a good time to remind everyone about protecting their eyes from excessive sunlight exposure. Wearing a good pair of sunglasses will help reduce light light reaching the retina of the eye. This can lower the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. If you are taking a drug to lower your cholesterol (the generic drug name usually ends in -statin), take it in the evening. Our liver is responsible for making cholesterol and usually takes a rest from this job when we eat. However, in the evening and nighttime, when we dont eat, the liver starts manufacturing cholesterol again. So its best to take your statin in the evening. Our job as your pharmacist is to ensure you take the right medication at the right time and in the right dose. We hope to see you in our pharmacy soon.

interact with other seniors at the facility and allow caregivers to work, or get a needed break. There is also a Childrens Day Care planned for the facility, with intergenerational programming included. All activities will be communicated to and coordinated with family members. Anyone interested can contact the main Sagewood number at 403-3618001. The intergenerational programs work really well with seniors, said Rajani, who said the programs have been successful in other Age Care homes. He said he wants everyone to know the process is about more than where the clients will be housed. This is another chapter of their lives. We really want this chapter to be the most memorable onethe best experience of their life. It is all about the quality of life. It isnt all about the type of accommodation, said Rajani.

A new face comes to Wheatland County

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor Wheatland County has a new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Alan Parkin. He is taking over for Jennifer Deak who had been the County CAO for a number of years. Parkin has an extensive and well-rounded background in Municipal Affairs. His previous work experiences prepared him for the challenges he will encounter while working at his new job in Wheatland County. Parkin previously worked for the City of Lloydminster over a period of 18 years. He spent time in the Public Works, Road Construction, Transportation and Infrastructure and Recreational Planning departments. Later, he moved to the private sector as a Commercial Construction Contractor, but returned to the municipal arena, when the commercial building economy slowed. He went on to work with the municipalities of North Battleford, Hardisty, and Lougheed. His last position, prior to acceptance to Wheatland County, was CAO in Grand Cache. Parkin said that he is happy to live in a rural setting and set close to the urban amenities. His decision to accept the CAO position in Wheatland Council was due to Wheatlands good industry reputation. His first impressions of Wheatland County employees and Council are that they are a well-organized, knowledgeable, accommodating and supportive team of individuals. He attributes much of the well run organization to work done by Jennifer Deak, in her capacity as the past CAO. I am really happy to be here and look forward to working with the ratepayers and interacting with the staff, said Parkin, adding that the door to his office is always open.

Not only local and surrounding area County Councillors but MLA Jason Hale and Nosehill/Calgary MLA Dr. Neil Brown came out for the afternoon program. Dr. Neil Brown was there on behalf of the Provincial Government and gave the hall committee a second installment of $150,000 to President Brent Gregory (the first $125,000 they received in February).They will receive another $100,000 in the near future toward the costs of the $2.6 million dollar project. Brown said the centre is for not only the community but will be a lasting legacy to the children and future generations of Standard for fundraisers, dinners, dances, weddings and celebrations of life. It is wonderful that it also was designed to be a disaster relief centre. This is not just a community hall but rather a great community hall. Susan Bragg was awarded with a plaque that recognized all her hard work toward the cause of the new Hall as she sat on the Hall Board, the Building Committee and on the Fundraising Committee. After Bragg was recognized, long time residents Elmer and Leona Jensen (who recently celebrated their 72 wedding anniversary) were privileged to perform the official ribbon cutting declaring the Standard Hall to be open for business in the heart of Wheatland County. MLA for Strathmore/Brooks, Jason Hale gave his congratulations. This hall is a testament in this communitys involvement, said Hale. It is the heart and soul of Alberta that makes ideas come to fruition. After the hall was declared open, the community and special guests were treated to a roast beef supper and spent time visiting with friends and family who came out.
INFORMATION UPDATE:
Seniors living options in Strathmore
Alberta Health Services and AgeCare are expanding the number of continuing care beds in your community.
In fall 2013, the Sagewood Seniors Community continuing care facility in Strathmore (above) will open 70 new supportive living spaces. This expansion also includes the addition of 35 long-term care spaces for seniors who have highly complex health needs whose care cannot be provided in their own home, or in supportive living. Sagewood originally opened in 2011 with 60 AHS-funded supportive living spaces, a level of care that had not been previously available in the community. Supportive living offers health and personal care supports in private suites with the added reassurance of having professional nursing care and support staff available on-site 24 hours a day. Seniors consistently tell us they want the most home-like, independent care possible and this option meets those needs. The addition of these long-term care spaces at Sagewood will allow us to relocate the 23 long-term care spaces at the Strathmore District Health Services facility to Sagewood, providing the community with an overall increase of 82 additional care spaces.
This is good news for our long-term care residents as it will allow them to live in a more home-like environment while receiving care best suited to their needs. Sagewood will provide residents private rooms and bathrooms. It will also have a dementia unit specializing in caring for individuals with dementia, and beautifully landscaped grounds that are accessible and inviting for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. Its important that seniors age as close to home as possible, while receiving the most appropriate care, and the addition of these supportive living and long-term care spaces will provide seniors in your community the right care in the right place.
We invite you to learn more about our plans and would like to hear from you.

Letters to the editor
to take care of their own needs wherever possible, knowing health care support is there as required. For most seniors, long term care is not required. Some critics would say only long-term care is acceptable. We respectfully disagree. We are listening to seniors and what they tell us they need and want. Supportive living offers health and personal care supports in private suites, with the added reassurance of having professional nursing care and support staff available on-site 24 hours a day. The addition of 35 long term care spaces at Sagewood Strathmore means we will be able to relocate the current 23 long term care spaces from Strathmore hospital providing the community with an overall increase of 82 additional care spaces. The new resident rooms will all be private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. This will provide residents with the opportunity to personalize their rooms and enjoy increased privacy. There are also beautifully landscaped grounds that are accessible and inviting for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. The care centre will also have a purpose-built dementia unit that will specialize in caring for individuals requiring that type of support. If you have any questions Id like to hear from you. We are in the third year of a five-year plan to add 5,000 new continuing care beds across Alberta. To learn more about this or the growth in Strathmore, please call us at 1-855-343-7155 or send us an email: Community.Connect@albertahealthservices.ca. Well keep you updated in the weeks and months ahead. Brenda Huband Senior Vice President, Calgary Zone
Future of long term care in Strathmore

To the Editor Whats most important to seniors when they need a higher level of care? We asked them, and the answer is not surprising. They want the greatest independence and the best care we can provide closest to home. Next fall Sagewood Seniors Community will open 70 new supportive living spaces at a new facility in Strathmore. In addition, they will open 35 long term care spaces for seniors who have highly complex health needs and for whom care cannot be provided in their own home or in a supportive living setting. At the moment, these seniors are being cared for in the Strathmore hospital long term care unit. We advised staff, residents and their families of the growth plans first and, over the next several weeks, we will continue to share information updates more broadly. We would welcome further discussion and input. We are pleased that we are able to offer more beds, including long-term care beds, for those who may require these services in Strathmore and surrounding areas. Sagewood opened in 2011, initially providing 60 AHS-funded supportive living spaces that had not been previously available. Why supportive living? Senior citizens and their families have told us this is what they need through a number of different surveys we have conducted to better understand their needs and desires. We clearly learned that they want the level of care that provides them with the most independence. They want an environment which feels more like a home than a hospital. Until they need a higher level of care, they want

Strathmore Girl Guides hosting Food Bank drive

Danni Broud Strathmore Girl Guides Through our program with Girl Guides of Canada, we teach the value of Community Service. It is hard to find service work for the smaller girls and we do a lot of litter collecting! Our main service for over 20 years has been to the local Food Bank. In the late eighties, Guides took part in Scoutings annual Hike for Hunger in honour of Thinking Day, Feb. 22. When that program ended, we knew there was still a need for food in our community. We started hosting a food drive on or around World Food Day, Oct. 16. As we sell cookies around this time as well, we tried doing both door-to-door trips in one. People were very generous to the food bank, but cookie sales were way down!! Several years ago, a church group started collecting food around the middle of October and the high school collected food at Halloween. The towns people were being asked to donate food three times in one month. Girl Guides felt we could make a better contribution if we changed our date to a time when the weather is usually better, we are done selling cookies and no one else was doing a food drive. This year, we have chosen May 1 for our food drive. The girls will be out from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. going door-to-door looking for donations. If we miss you please consider dropping off your nonperishable food at any of the drop-off boxes in town.
When C doesnt mean cow and V doesnt mean victory

Pat Fule Fule for Thought There are certain things we go through in life that are not always pleasant. Life is not made of liquorice grass, cotton candy clouds, or chocolate bunnies that can have their heads bitten off. I know women have to go through a lot more than typical males. I mean, if we had to bear children, the families would be a lot smaller! Oh yeah, that first bit of morning sickness, the kicks to the inside of my stomach, and especially labour, would be enough to convince me that one kid is enough! However, we men also have to experience tough situations. An earlier column dealt with the pain and anguish of a well-placed hit to a mans groin. I still maintain THAT is as bad as labour. Maybe it doesnt last as long, but on the Richter Scale of pain, it can often be a 9.0 to a 9.5! AND, when a guy is canned, theres no one to help him breathe, because most people are too busy laughing! At the doctors office, the old annual digital exam is also an eye opener, and I DO mean literally! Ive always worried when a doctor I dont know, does this procedure. I mean, there are those few moments JUST before, that kill you. A lot of thoughts raced through my mind: what if the lights dim, and soft music comes on? What if this different doctor sends you flowers the next day?! Its worrisome! Even when this procedure is done by your regular, trusted doctor, its always awkward. How do you keep a conversation going at THAT moment!? What do say right AFTER thank you? let me out of here! or cut your nails? I always just want to awkwardly shuffle away! A colonoscopy is also something we have to face. Luckily, I was out for mine, but it was the preparation for it that was terrible! The mixture(s) you have to drink are bad enough, but you have to remember they are designed to EMPTY you, and THAT is not fun! Ive never run that much in a day in my life! I wish Id had on that pedometer from HEAL, because I know Id have made it around the island in their Jamaica Challenge! It didnt help that wherever I ran, the dog followed, and sat in front of the door! You try to have some kind of privacy, but he basically announces where you are not cool! That purging as they delicately call it, was horrible I felt like I was exploding! Now, I was raised Catholic, and I really did rediscover Prayer that night! Just before this experiment, I began to worry and wonder but mostly, wonder! Luckily, I was sedated, and slept through it all. All I remember is just after the procedure, I asked the nurse to read me a story! Quite a few years ago, Deb and I decided (or I begged!) that two kids was enough. I volunteered to go through this procedure you know, the snip the big V. I remember walking as slowly as I could to our local hospital. I thought about a lot of things that morning: life, children, whether or not my doctor had a good nights sleep everything ran through my mind! I actually did ask him that, I mean, I didnt want to take any chances, what if he stayed late on Wings Night at The Station? I felt I should know this! Of course, he was incredibly professional, and reassured me, that with the slight sting of the needle, it would feel like Id just had four or five beers, and Id be relaxed. Relaxed? He could have poked out my eyes, I was so happy! I giggled through the surgery, and added a few quips I was sure were witty. However, I did have a few visions (I think) The Grim Reaper appeared with his big scythe!! Why would the doctor need him? Why would he need a scythe what was a scythe? was that a chainsaw I heard, starting up? Luckily, time seemed to go fast, even as the doctor asked if I wanted to see the procedure uh, NO! The doctor told me that it would be a good idea if I got a ride home, so I called Debbie. I laughed as I told her I was in front of the hospital . Yes, I was okay it was actually FUN, and what did she want to do later today? I dont remember the short car ride home, I do think she brought the family dog along. I swear I remember that the dog looked at with as if he knew! He had a sad face and seemed to nod at me, when the painkiller wore off. Yup, neither one of us would ever be the same again!

Niels Bach
Niels was born in Denmark, in a farming area known as Kjemtrup, on January 19, 1932. This area consisted of a few farms and a school. Niels started school at age 7, and remembers being
at school in April 1940, when the Germans invaded and took over Denmark. He says there was a very loud roar over the school that morning, and when the teacher and students ran outside, all they could see were German planes filling the sky. Niels left school at the age of 14 to work on his fathers farm

for a couple of years, before going to work at an experimental farm. He immigrated to Standard, Alberta in 1950 to work on an uncles farm, thus becoming the first settler with this family name, here in Alberta. In 1956, he leased his uncles farm, and here started 35 years of operating this mixed farm. During the winter of 1958, while bowling in Calgary, he met Mariane Christensen who worked for the Calgary School Board. She was born in Dickson, Alberta and went to school in Dickson and Red Deer. One winter she attended Camrose Lutheran Bible Institute. Niels and Mariane were married on November 28, 1959 and this marriage produced a daughter and a son, who between them have given two grandsons, and three grand-daughters. Both Niels and Mariane were very involved with the Nazareth Lutheran Church in Standard, where Mariane taught Sunday School, was Church Secretary, and ran Ceramic Classes, for a number of years. As a farm wife she took it upon herself to learn how to be a bookkeeper, so that she could do the payroll and accounting for their farm. Niels served on the Church Board, and Standard Co-op Board, overseeing construction of the new store. He served on the Rosebud Gas Co-op board for 10 years, and was a member of the F.U.A. - Farmers Union of Alberta. They returned to Denmark a number of times to visit family and friends, and enjoyed camping trips here in Western Canada. In 1989, they retired to Strathmore, and moved into the house that Mariane had designed. Re-
gretfully, Mariane passed away on July 28, 2008. But, Niels continues to live in their house, enjoying visits from his grandchildren and family and friends. He advised that to give full credit to the changes hes seen in Strathmore and Area in the past 62 years would fill a book, but here are some of them. Travel by horse and buggy has been replaced by planes, trains and automobiles, so that one can travel worldwide. Dirt roads that were impossible to use when wet, have been replaced by paved roads, and elevated gravel roads. Coal oil lamps for lighting, and coal furnaces for heating and cooking have been replaced by electricity and natural gas. Squeaky battery operated radios are also powered by electricity. We now have HD television, computers and Internet. How many of you remember the old crank telephone with 10 or more farms all on the same line? Now there are cell phones and satellite phones one can carry in their pocket or purse. And, one can call people all over the world. The farming world has changed too where he used to drive a team of horses pulling a bottom plough, they now use 400 500 hp tractors, equipped with GPS, power steering, and all kinds of comfort for the operator. The list of changes hes seen, goes on and on. Since retiring to Strathmore in 1989, there have been many changes to the town itself. Population has increased, and with this growth, has come many improvements new stores, restaurants, public facilities, and elder care facilities. He said Strathmore is a great place to live.

Water woes in Wheatland Industrial Park

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor Developers were cross examined over the third phase of Wheatland Industrial park, which came up for third reading on April 9. Developers were also asking for a rezoning change on the frontage facing RR270 affecting 142 acres. The action would require a bylaw amendment. If the rezoning is approved, we are committed to construct the other storm pond which will alleviate any further problems. If this passes third reading and rezoning, it will give us confidence to move forward with the development, said Patricia Maloney, of Patricia Maloney and Associates, spokesperson for the project. Last years contentious issues, over a storm water retention problem that is still affecting adjacent landowners, and the developers responsibility to undeveloped properties, were discussed. Both issues stalled the project due to complaints and concerns over weed control and upkeep. It is really critical that we look at these large developments when these things come up for third reading. The purpose of the third reading is to ensure that we get conditions fulfilled before development occurs, said Councillor Alice Booth. Councillor Ben Armstrong agreed that once the storm pond was in place, it would handle the water problem and would not affect the requested amendment. However, he said that council had lost confidence because of the manner in which the east parcel was handled. To allow more land to be handled similarly was not acceptable. County development staff indicated the first phase had been approved because they considered water flow would not be big enough, once the site was developed and it should have been able to handle the flow. However, the site was not properly developed or maintained and staff recommended that water problems should be rectified. The issues have been dealt with and the area is being farmed. We would like to be able to move forward. Developments need to go in phases, in order for developing and marketing to occur. Without the rezoning, we cannot go ahead. Until the entire site is developed, it will be difficult to complete the operational issues, said Maloney. She indicated that the water runoff was due to a once-in200-year event and that landowners had been compensated for the trouble they incurred for the overflow. Booth indicated it may be a problem because all the water is collecting in one pond. I would like to see us work as a team. The county, developers, BSEI engineers and get on this issue. We have to look at it to move forward. It seems to be a bad design and we need to make sure the plan is really a strong one, so no one is affected, said Booth. There was also discussion that the proposed lighting be reviewed to ensure landowners were not affected. Planning staff indicated the project had to comply with the Highway corridor overlay and plans were done to comply with Dark Sky Association guidelines. The Councillors vote was split to pass the third reading and move to rezone. Four votes were in favour and Councillor Armstrong and Sauve were opposed.

Rosebuds Quilters tells stories of prairie womens lives

Laureen F. Guenther Times Contributor Rosebud School of the Arts opened this springs student production, Quilters, April 12. Elderly Sarah (Renita Hamm) tells us shes made many quilts in her lifetime. Now she plans to make her last one - a legacy quilt. Quilt squares are created and stitched, each one telling a piece of Sarahs life or the life of her grandmother, mother, sister, daughter, niece, friend. This play with music begins softly, building to a musical and emotional crescendo. It begins so softly, in fact, I briefly thought Id be bored. I soon got over that, watching a seven-yearold girl in a dug-out home ( Jesse Lynn Anderson) weep over the younger sister ( Jenny Daigle) who has just died in her lap. Sarahs stories arent all sad; she also sews playfulness and celebration, delight and laughter and romance into her quilt. But from that point on until Sarahs stories are all told and her quilt pieces are sewn I was fully engaged. Id love to see Quilters again, even just to hear the music, a poignant mix of traditional and new melodies. Its hard music. Its really challenging (to sing), says Renita Hamm. But (the students) sure proved up to the task. Chills ran through me when the tenwoman cast closed in seven-part harmony: All our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend ... with the loved ones whove gone on before ... never grow old, In a land where well never grow old... Director Deanne Bertsch is thankful Renita Hamm, Rosebuds Student Life Advisor, joined the cast. That was so important to me. Bertsch says. With all these young women, we had a woman (playing Sarah) who could actually have been their mother Renita is ... (a young) matriarchal figure in Rosebud. She fits the role so perfectly. Sarahs character is so lovely, Hamm says. (She) has so much important stuff to say. Because Bertsch created lots of time for (relational) connections to be made, within the cast, Hamm says, it was easy to imagine (the students) as my daughters and my sisters and my mother, and my grandchildren. Bertsch says Quilters audiences will take away a reminder that as human beings we need to leave something behind why do we want to pass our stories down? Is it to prove we existed? Is it to pass meaning to our children? We all have our ways of leaving our marks. I hopefully leave my shows. Renita leaves so many different things! I think it is about passing down our stories. The play has tremendous value in terms of honouring women and telling a story and ... settling this land, Hamm says. I resonate very much to the prairie women because my grandparents were first-generation Canadians. They made it work and they thrived. The play speaks to Hamm of the resilience of the human spirit. Sometimes you dont (get to) make choices, but...the way you put things together is really all youve got we can put things together beautifully if we choose. Quilters runs on Rosebuds Studio Stage until April 27. Call 1-800-267-7553 for tickets.

Off road vehicle bylaw

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor Chief Administrative Officer Alan Parkin requested council grant more time for peace officers to complete the offroad vehicle use bylaw amendment. They were researching this issue and making comparisons to bylaws used by other counties. Members of the public were present and requested more information on the process involved. They asked whether the public would have input. Discussions over private snow clearing in villages and hamlets were one of the concerns. Reeve Koester advised the matter would be handled through the normal procedure. The bylaw amendment comes before council for first reading. If passed, the matter goes to public hearing. Residents are notified through letters, and advertisement in the local papers, and on the website, of the date of the meeting. It is held in County Council chambers. Letters directed to council on matters pertaining to the bylaw will be addressed at that time. Decisions by councillors can only be based on the information presented to them in council at the public meeting, not in outside private discussions or based on news reports. Council can choose to reject, accept, change or amend the bylaw. The public can have their say. What is presented here is what we use to decide on how we vote for the bylaw approval, said Koester. Council indicated that the public hearing would probably be held two weeks after the April 12 council meeting, and the bylaw would be in place by June, pending no mitigating circumstances. NAMAKA RAIL CONVERTS TO NATURAL RESERVE Land that was formerly part of the decommissioned Namaka rail line will be preserved as municipal reserve, with the intentions it be kept in its natural state. It is a good wildlife habitat and it is currently not necessary for any other purpose. It is not as easy to maintain as some of the regular county reserve land, said Councillor Ken Sauve. I propose that these be designated so future councils can ensure they are kept as reserves and not put up for resale. There were four small pieces of land near Gleichen and Stobbart Lake. A few were landlocked and had been offered to farmers, but there was no interest. Two were along the lake. Council directed staff to draft bylaws to initiate the process. FEE WAIVER FOR DALUM FIRE Dalum Fire approached council to waive the development fee for ground breaking at the new fire hall. They are preparing to begin stripping and grading the property. Council agreed to waive the $100 fee, but stipulated to the development staff that the waiver only applied to the groundwork, as approval for the building had not yet been approved. GIS/MAPPING CONTRACT Council approved the continued GIS/ Mapping contract be retained by Accurate Assessment until 2016, when the contract will again be put out to public tender. They have been doing a very good job for us and we recommend that they be able to continue until the contract comes up for RFP, said Mike Ziehr, Assistant Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure. The company provides the county mapping and addressing services for properties in the county. The information is used for the county map, placed on the website and utilized by emergency response services. 2013 FINAL BUDGET The accounting sheets are done and the budget was approved for the 2013. Staff worked hard to get the evaluation to fall in line, so you could get the biggest bang for your buck, said James Laslo, Administrative Services Manager. The proposal maintains the priorities outlined by council and accommodates the wishes, changes and additions presented to us. This document reflects all the changes that have been made. Two motions were made and approval was given to the 2013 capital budget and the operating budget. FORD OR CHEVY More equipment was purchased for the Ag Service board and public works, with an assessment process that ruled out the traditional Ford vs. Chevy, Kubota vs. John Deere debate. The purchases are evaluated as to cost, usage, whether they supply requested requirements and consideration for staff needs. The purchases were as follows: 2 ton 4X4 provided by Shaganappi Chevy and Edmonton Motors, coming in under the $40,000 budget 1 ton 4X4 by Universal Ford, in at under $40,000 1 ton Chevy Heavy Duty 4X4, by Edmonton Motors, to be confirmed at less than the $40,000 Kubota Mulcher at significantly under the $100,000 budget as John Deere had no hydraulic remote option 2 Manac end dump trailers, both under $40,000, as they came in with the highest evaluative score and lowest price Manac Belly Dump Trailer w/ diamond added, significantly less than the $140,000 budget, not the lowest bid, but MANAK had the highest evaluative points, best parts source inventory, and crews were familiar with the equipment. TELECOMMUTE OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL Council will consider whether technology that allows councillors to be physically away from council chambers, but technologically present from another location, useful and acceptable. Councillor Ken Suave gave several suggestions why it could be beneficial: it may be a good option for days when road travel is hazardous, councillors have health or disability restrictions, time constrictions interfere, due to council activities away from the county, or, when a councillor chooses to take leave in the winter months. CAO Alan Parkin suggested the information could be included in the package of new technology upgrades being investigated for the council chambers. He said that regulations stipulate that if councillors dont attend meetings within an eight week period, there were ramifications and penalties. However, other councils that he had previously worked with had utilized various technology options and it was considered legal. I would not want for this type of attendance to become the norm, said Councillor Alice Booth. When we ran for office, we agreed to the ratepayers that we would be present, so I would not want to see the practise abused. Parkin suggested many municipalities were going to televised council meetings, and that Wheatland Council had the option of stipulating what technologies would be used in what context, when the package comes before them for consideration. Council requested staff look into the various telecommuting options and bring them back for consideration.

The bid is in for Carseland Lagoon

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor BBC Contractors won the bid for the Carseland Lagoon Earthworks and Piping Modifications, coming in with a low bid of $1,605,379.55, which allowed some savings for the County from the predicted budget. Due to cuts by the province to programs for these types of projects, the funds will be taken from the AMIT reserve fund. Brooks Asphalt gained the Carseland and Gleichen Underground Upgrade contract at $900,488.29 and again savings were realized. These bids had the largest number of tenders in recent years and were valued over $2 million. Applications came in from all over Alberta. Alberta Transportation has really limited their jobs this year, so there are lot more companies putting in for the smaller jobs, said Michael Ziehr, Assistant Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure. Ziehr said it was good for the County, in respect that companies are more willing to drop their bid price, just to get the job and keep their employees working. He said there were some of the bigger companies bidding on the two contracts that normally dont bid on the smaller jobs. The County is required under the Alberta Government legislation and regulation to tender capital works projects in excess of $75,000. We put it out there for anyone who fits the requirements to submit a bid. It is to make sure it is fair and so we arent sole sourcing, providing all contractors and services the same opportunities, said Ziehr. The contracts usually involve specialized services with special equipment, so the County tenders them out, rather than employing inhouse crews for the work. Water, sewer treatment, some infrastructure and six miles of annual pavement upgrades are also tendered. They must be done to Alberta Government guidelines and there are requirements for the County to adhere to those. Time, manpower, and equipment are the factors that indicate whether outside contractors are required. It is job specific. The people that apply for a lagoon bid are not the people that are applying for the booster station in Rosebud. In the end, it is much cheaper to have outside contractors do it than to acquire our own equipment, or have our own people do it. We have limited staff that is kept busy year round, said Ziehr. County projects are reviewed annually and submitted in the budget plan. Staff consult with engineers retained by the County, to determine the approximate cost of the expected jobs and approach council for preapproval of a Capital budget for the departments needs. The engineering company used by the County is also awarded by tender process. When a project is approved, the engineers draw up the design plan, drawings and contracts for specific jobs. The designs are posted on the purchasing website www.purchasingconnection. ca, for the contractors to review. Companies that are interested pick up hard copy packages at the County office. The County records who picks up a package, so they can see who actually submits a bid and contact them if there any changes or addendums to the job. Advertising in the newspaper and notices to contractors are posted for the jobs. The packages are hefty and multipage. They contain the bid sheet, which gives an itemized checklist of the many essential details regarding the work, bond verifications, and specific calculations needed for materials and equipment. Work must be defined and costed-out in the bid. All bids submitted require a Certificate of Recognition in Health and Safety (COR). Number, which is a government certified safety certificate and employee WCB coverage. The bids are not considered a legal or adequate bid without it. A bid bond is also required to ensure that the company is invested in the project. Some of the bidders retain sub-consultants to bid for the project, or employ subcontractors to complete the projects. Completed bid packages can be mailed or delivered back prior to the opening date. Packages must be sealed, have no price indication on the outside and be in prior to the required date and time, or they are immediately eliminated. A revised bid, prior

to the closing time, can be submitted by fax which is attached to the original package. All bids are kept sealed and locked up in a vault at the County, until the packages are opened in Council. Tender openings are usually about one month after postings. It is kept as secure as we can. We want the process to be as unbiased as possible, said Ziehr. After opening, all packages are evaluated, cross checked and calculated. If there is an error, whatever is listed in the package is binding. Ziehr said bids often vary widely in price. The contractors take a risk and set the price that will pay for their profit margin, staff, subcontractors, equipment and provision of services in a specified time. As for vetting the companies, Ziehr said word in the industry usually goes around on a companys consistent work ethic or if a contractor is substandard. Ziehr said they often have the same com-
panies bidding on contracts year after year, but just because they received the contract one year, does not give the company an edge following years. It is all about what they can do. Nine times out of ten the lowest bid wins, unless there is a real concern with the company, said Ziehr. We get a lot of interest from some of the smaller people wondering who got the job, and I am sure they contact them. We do suggest companies do their homework on the job and they know what contractors they will be using before they submit for the job, The awarded bid is held for sixty days at the designated price. All jobs are inspected by the County engineering consultants and they do testing to ensure the quality of the work. Payment is staggered throughout with the final payment hold back given at the completion of the job.
Volunteers to be honoured with tea

Shannon LeClair Times Reporter Each year in Strathmore and Wheatland County, hundreds of people volunteer their time to help with various organizations, groups and events. On April 24 there will be the first annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea held at the Hope Community Covenant Church to help recognize and thank those volunteers. The tea will be held from 1:30 p.m. until 3 p.m. with a short program at 2 p.m. to celebrate volunteerism. We would like to invite all the volunteers in our community to a come and go tea, said Joyce Bazant, executive director for Wheatland Further Education Society (WFES). There will be door prizes available and there is also a best hat contest. Prizes will be awarded to the top participant in each category spring; western and wacky. According to the Volunteer Canada site more than half of Canadas 161,000 non-profit and charitable organizations rely on volunteers. The 13.3 million volunteers contribute 2.1 billion hours annually. Everyone benefits when you have citizen engagement and volunteering in our community, said Bazant. Volunteers help build their community into great places to live, and help them grow in ways they couldnt without the support. The tea is being supported by the Calgary Rural Primary Care Network, Growing Families Society, Bridging the Gap, Strathmore and District Victim Services Society and of course WFES. Those interested in attending can reserve a spot be contacting Lesley Hering at 403934-6552 or by email at lesley.herin@rcmp-grc. gc.ca.

The Wheatland Kings hosted their annual banquet April 13 at the Strathmore Golf Club.
Kings recognize their best

Mario Prusina Times Editor The Wheatland Kings officially concluded the 20122013 season when they hosted their annual awards banquet April 13 at the Strathmore Golf Club. The local junior-B club honoured team members, their coaching staff and numerous volunteers for their hard work this past season. Goaltender Richie Hubbell was named the Strathmore Times Player of the Year and the teams Most Valuable Player. Often facing a barrage of shots, Hubbell played in 24 of the 38 games in the regular season and maintained one of the best save percentages in the league at .915. The third-year netminder won the Strathmore Times Player of the Year by accumulating the most nods during the three-star selection after every game. Andrew Bergmann was not only recognized as the teams leading scorer, but after notching 43 goals and 47 assists in just 35 games, he was the Heritage Junior Hockey Leagues top point-producer. Bergmann also claimed the teams Most Outstanding Forward Austin Fisher was named the Most Improved Player, by showing a consistent progression during the course of the season. Not only did he show improvement in his skills, but in attitude, desire and confidence. Chris Reed was selected as the teams Most Sportsmanlike Player, not necessarily for having the least pen-
alty minutes, but as a player who exhibits true sportsmanship and is a great teammate. Chris Williams was named the Most Dedicated Player as someone who is hard working, positive both on and off the ice and has the respect of his teammates. Evan Elaschuk was named the Outstanding Defenseman, by playing with poise, confidence and competitiveness. He was the teams go to defenseman, providing speed, strength and experience. Sam Lonnberg was named the Unsung Hero for giving a consistent effort shift-in, shift-out. He was one of the Kings best defensive forwards and penalty killers, while providing 17 goals and 30 assists for 47 points in 32 games. Justin Kostiuk was selected as the Rookie of the Year, providing an offensive spark and registering 25 points in 30 games this past season. Team captain Brandon Neufeld was presented the Players Choice Award for being the best teammate and exhibits the qualities of always working hard, always positive, dedicated, persistent, provides leadership and never gives up. According to Kings head coach Doug Murphy, there is a common trait among all the award winners. Overall, theyre the guys that are dedicated, committed and hard-working, said Murphy. Its the guys that are there, willing to come and play the game hard every night they dont accept losing or playing (poorly).
Games go on despite snowy challenges

Despite the snowy weather and the brisk wind these determined athletes still battled in the first home rugby tournament of the season. Both the boys and girls Spartans played in three games, giving them a chance to better learn the skills, while testing them against other rugby teams.

Competitive season underway for Silhouettes

Tara Smith Strathmore Silhouettes Head Coach The competitive season for the Strathmore Silhouettes is well under way, and it is proving to be a very successful year. Six of the Silhouettes, aged 9-17, attended the Southern Zones Championships in Red Deer April 5-6, where they all qualified to carry on to Provincials, which is being held in Edmonton April 19-21. To qualify to compete at Provincials the athlete must place in the top twelve of their levels age group. Those top 12 then go on to compete against the top twelve athletes from Northern Zones. All six Silhouettes did just that. Kate Barrett (age 9) placed fourth, Geena Schramm (age 12) placed eighth, Delaney Carless (age 13) placed first, Kassie Greig (age 14) placed third, Jordann Mackay (age 16) placed eighth, and Shelby Stephens (age 17) placed fourth. I am very excited and proud of the girls this year. This is the highest number of athletes that Strathmore has seen make it to Provincials in a very long time, as long as I can remember, and I have been a part of gymnastics here for about 14 years. Not only the most, but the youngest (Kate Barrett - Provincial 2 Argo) and the highest level we have ever gotten to ( Jordann Mackay - Provincial 3 Open). After Provincials the season will finish off with three more competitions in Okotoks, Canmore and Calgary, where all 12 of the Silhouettes will be competing.

Keeping up with Miss Strathmore Stampede

Becca Walters Miss Strathmore Stampede The Canadian Pro Rodeo Sport Medicine Team is set up outside the Strathmore Ag arena during the Strathmore Stampede each August where they provide care to the rodeo competitors before, during and after their events. This team of practitioners are volunteers and require sponsors to fund the operations and materials used. On March 30 I attended and volunteered my time at the inaugural Twisted Tea Ski Louise Stampede Canadian Cowboy Ski Race in Lake Louise, where the proceeds raised from this event go directly to the sport medicine team. If you had a rodeo card you were eligible to enter the race there were over 50 cowboys and cowgirls decked out in their rodeo chaps and cowboy hats on the hill on either skis or a snowboard. In the first part of the competition, three competitors were in each heat until there was a top male and female of the day winners. There were certainly some entertaining runs with bull fighter, Brett Monea being recognized for having the worst wreck on the hill. I got to spend the day with two lovely royalty ladies Miss Rodeo Canada, Gillian Shields, and Miss Rodeo Hanna, Nichole Martin (who was snowboarding in the race as well). The three of us even had some time to go tubing down the hill, which I hear may become an event next year we had a blast. The last race of the day involved all of the competitors racing at once which was definitely a true stampede coming down the hill. The Stampede Race winner who took it all and received a beautiful buckle made by Becker Buckle (Becker made the Miss Strathmore Stampede crown), was saddle bronc rider Riley Harvie. After the races, there was a silent auction, dinner and cabaret to finish off the day. I enjoyed the day and was glad to be able to help out I even had two interviews with Hurricane Smith of Country 105 FM as they were broadcasting live for the day. The following weekend K&K Livestock Co. had their 20th Anniversary sale. Even though the weather didnt want to cooperate, there was still a great turn out and I enjoyed some shopping myself, as well as a tasty BBQ lunch. I would like to thank K&K for their support, as they are one of the sponsors of the Miss Strathmore Stampede program. Next on the schedule was the First Annual Calgary Roughstock Rumble. It was a great event, and I had a fantastic night. Bareback, Saddle Bronc, and Bull Riding all started with 15 competitors. The Top 5 from each event made it to the short-go where first place in each event took home $10,000. Our very own Scott Schiffner won on the second night! This past weekend the Calgary Stampede had their Aggie Days where I helped out at the Scholastic Book Corner directing traffic and signing autographs, participated in roping plastic steer heads, played with the goats, and got on a saddle bronc horse a demo of course. On the Saturday evening , I was a special guest along with Miss Rodeo Canada, and the Airdrie Royalty, at the Miss Rodeo Sundre Fashion Show, Dinner and Auction. I helped with reception, selling tickets, drawing names for door prizes and being a judge for

The school has been going to Drumheller for many years and are thankful to the Standard Lions for helping provide the necessary bussing that allows them to travel to and from the Aquaplex. Often this is the only opportunity kids get to take lessons and learn the necessary safety skills in the water.

Bisons give recognition

Mario Prusina Times Editor The UFA Bisons officially capped off the 2012-2013 season by hosting their annual awards banquet on April 11 at the Indus Recreational Centre. With all five teams under the Foothills AAA Hockey Association umbrella, the Bisons celebrated the season along with the two triple-A bantam teams, the Airdrie Xtreme and the Okotoks Oilers, and the two M15 triple-A midget teams from Chestermere and Airdrie/Cochrane. Despite a season of ups and downs, Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen said the campaign was a success. Im proud its like being father-proud, said Friesen. When you look at everything weve had to go through as a group and the way that they battled, competed and stuck together it was fantastic. It would have been quite easy for this team to get side-tracked and off the rails when you look at some of the stuff we had to deal with some of it was public and some of it was not (but) its really impressive and speaks volumes about our team maturity and commitment level. Friesen was particularly proud of his team for earning a home-playoff berth after a disastrous 3-7 start to the season, and for earning a win in the second round playoff series to Red Deer, who ended up winning the league title. According to Friesen, Red Deer never lost a single game in the second round in the past handful of seasons until the Bisons de-

feated them on home ice at the Strathmore Family Centre. However, on this particular night, he was happy to honour his players at the annual awards dinner. Forward Matt Forchuk was honoured as the Bisons leading scorer, while Mackenzie Bauer was named the Rookie of the Year. Jake Dube was named the Best Defenseman and also the winner of the Ron Ebbesson Memorial Scholarship. The coaching staff had a great debate on who should be named the Most Improved Player and eventually decided on co-winners, as both Kurt Fraser and Mark Nerland will have their names engraved on the trophy. Mark McLeod was presented the Neil Glionna Award for Dedication, Perseverance & Sportsmanship, while the team named goaltender Richard Palmer the Most Valuable Player. According to Friesen, all the award winners have two things in common, which is dedication and commitment to their team. Theyre all very respectful, theyre leaders they may not be the most vocal players, but they bought in to what we were trying to do as a team, said the coach. They never put themselves ahead of anybody else and they were really consistent, dedicated, good human beings all year long. Thats part of our mission statement as a coaching staff of what we wanted to do we want to develop these guys on an off the ice and encourage them that mistakes are okay. Its how you respond from them, learn from them and push past those things every single one of our award winners did that more than once this year.
Marvin Friesz of Claresholm, Alberta was called home on April 10, 2013 at the age of 66 years after a courageous battle of pancreatic and liver cancer. He was a family man who had a real zeal for life. His infectious laugh and charismatic personality will be forever missed. He greeted one and all with a warm hearty Hello! Marvin will be deeply missed by his wife and soul mate of 44 years, Carolyn (nee Evans); daughters Shannon (Cornelius Giesbrecht), and Loretta (Willie Condruk); grandchildren Scott, Lianna, Cayley, Alaina and Landon; mother Leona Friesz Irwin; sister Sharlene (Bill Bethell); brothers Gary Friesz and Les Friesz; many nieces and nephews, and all who knew him. He was predeceased by his Father Alfred Friesz. Marvin was a 30 year member of The Masonic Lodge of Strathmore #53 and The Cairo Lodge of Claresholm #32. A celebration of Marvins life will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at Carseland Community Hall at 2:00 p.m. If desired, donations in memory of Marvin may be made directly to The Mustard Seed (102, 11 Ave. SE, Calgary, AB T2G 0X5) or your local Food Bank.

Bisons look to blossom in Strathmore

Mario Prusina Times Editor In an effort to take their hockey program to the next level, the UFA Bisons have joined forces with the Strathmore High School (SHS). The local triple-A midget team has partnered with SHS to operate a schoolbased hockey team beginning this fall. The team program will run in conjunction with the school and will be supervised on and off ice by an accredited teacher, Dan McDonald. Team practices will occur during the school day and each player will be eligible to receive school and educational credits for the Hockey option. All players will attend Strathmore High School; however, some exceptions will be considered as long as the exempted player will be able to attend all practices and team functions. Player billets will be coordinated and supervised through the team. This basically came to fruition because we have a bunch of really good hockey people on our board, who are strictly 100 per cent interested in developing hockey players, said Bisons General Manager Wayne Hansen. It takes our organization to the next level. Were great now at developing players to go play junior, this just allows us to go to the next step and you know what, it allows us the opportunity to maybe even win a national championship. The way we are now, we never had that chance. Things really came to a head with our loss to Red Deer this year we honestly felt that we didnt get beat by a better team, we were probably as good if not better as a team, but we got beat by a better association. One that practices more than we do, one that from top to bottom through their pyramid - from their midget program, to their M15 program to their triple-A bantam program is all one cohesive unit. Thats what beat us. The Foothills AAA Hockey Association is the governing body for the development of elite hockey teams in this area and is responsible for the administration of the UFA Bisons. According to Rick Valette, President of the Foothills AAA Hockey Association, there were many factors going into the partnership. The UFA Bisons are in a unique situation in Alberta midget AAA hockey, said Valette in a release. Our draw zone is the area surrounding Calgary which includes Banff to the west, Nanton to the south, Drumheller to the east and Carstairs to the north. Our players have to travel long distances to practice, often when roads are not ideal. We have noted that players are worn out from the travel, and often the first place that shows up is in their schoolwork. We have to consider whats best for our players from a safety and educational perspective, while we continue to develop them as elite hockey players. We strongly believe this is the right thing for our players in order to continue to focus on their education, while pursuing their hockey goals. We consider this to be the future direction for minor hockey, especially for teams in the elite development stream. Despite just wrapping up the 20122013 season with their annual awards dinner last week, plans for next season are already taking place. One of the biggest challenges in the next four months is finding billets for the players to stay with during the upcoming hockey season. We (as a school and the Bisons) are both interested in the kids education, said SHS Associate Principal Doug Raycroft. Of course with our school, we want all the students to be well-rounded so athletics, education and community citizenship are important to us and of course, that is a huge part of the Bisons organization as well.
Wilhelmina Wensink was born in Bredevoort, Netherlands, to a large family. She grew up in hard times before and during the war, and those years of deprivation caused a lifetime of physical limitation and pain which she endured with grit and grace. She learned the value of hard work and saving money for a rainy day and brought these values to every day of her life. Wilma is survived by her loving husband John and they were married just weeks shy of 60 years ago. Like many young couples of their time, they immigrated to Canada to seek a better life. Through honest hard work and perseverance, they built a good life for themselves and their 5 children: Marie Louise (Lee) and their children Kari (Dean), Heather, and Jaime (Braden); Betty and her children John and Lisa; Barry (Teena) and children Alyda and Reba; Dennis (Sandra) and their children Danielle and Brendon; and Robert and his children Patrick and Kate-Anne; as well as a large extended family in the Netherlands Wilma was proud of her lifes accomplishments and her children, grandchildren, and great granddaughters. She was a true friend and was blessed with countless lifelong friendships in return. She was skilled homemaker and seamstress, and a tireless volunteer. She was always there to lend a helping hand to neighbours and friends and was very involved in her church. Her faith was of great comfort to her. Wilma died peacefully. A visitation was held on Wednesday April 17, 2013 at Wheatland Funeral Home (202 Lakeside Blvd, Strathmore) at 7:00 p.m. Funeral mass was Celebrated on Thursday April 18, 2013 at Hope Community Covenant Church (245 Brent Blvd., Strathmore) at 11:00 a.m. Interment Sacred Heart Cemetery, Strathmore. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Strathmore Hospital Ladies Auxiliary Foundation (200 Brent Blvd., Strathmore T1P 1J9).
