approves
community
access card
DEIRDRE MITCHELL-MACLEAN
Times Contributor
Following a presentation by Family and
Community Support Services (FCSS) direc-
tor Linda Bernicki, Strathmore town coun-
cil has approved the adoption of a commu-
nity access card for Strathmore residents.
“The community access card is an op-
portunity for low income residents to ac-
cess Town of Strathmore programs and
services at a reduced cost,” Bernicki told
town council during the Sept. 18 meeting.
“The access card would be used for drop
in, registered or membership programs,
but not for facility rentals.”
Programs such as swimming lessons, ac-
tivities at the sports centre, family centre,
any of the youth programs offered at the
Youth Hub or FCSS would all be covered
under the community access card.
“It’s going to be offered on a sliding
scale, depending upon income and the
number of people in your family,” Bernicki
explained.
The cards will be valid for one year from
the date of approval and they will accept
applicants at any time.
Currently, the community access card
will only be available for programs and
services that are funded by the Town of
Strathmore, but Bernicki said she hopes
other programs and services in town will
partner with them in the future.
Services such as the Handi-bus and the
Strathmore Municipal Library are not yet
covered by the community access card.
“It’s a great opportunity as a poverty re-
duction initiative, to assist people with low
income for their mental health and well- All about seniors

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Staying in Strathmore
To the Editor
With all of the upheaval in recent years due to the
downtown core revitalization there is a shining light
that can not go without mentioning. On Wednesday,
Sept. 18, PJ’s Diner opened its doors at 410 Lakeside
Blvd. (location formerly known as Kim’s Café). The
launch was supposed to be a soft opening but with
word of mouth and Facebook postings, loyal patrons
pack the delightful family restaurant continuously.
The Burns family previously occupied the Husky
Restaurant. Now with the new facility they can spread
their wings, settle in and we all can benefit by receiv-
ing amazing food at an equally amazing price.
Co-owner Mr. John Burns is a world-renowned
executive chef and you will instantly recognize this
upon your first fork load entering your mouth. His
attention to detail is second to none. Along with a
great meal you will be visited by the chef for a brief
chat inquiring about the meal and if you enjoyed your
stay. Nowhere else in Strathmore does the chef visit
you to confirm that everything is well. For all of your
catering and dine in experiences, I highly recommend
PJ’s Diner.
I would like to personally thank the Burns Fam-
ily and PJ’s Diner for staying in Strathmore. All too
often this calibre of dining is lured away to the big
city and we are fortunate to have them. There may
be a “greasy spoon” in Strathmore with a cook call-
ing themselves a “chef” but this place certainly isn’t
it. Congratulations Strathmore for retaining this “fine
dining establishment.”
John M. Whieldon

Busy time in MLA riding

LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Strathmore! I would first like to give a
huge shout out to Origin Brewery, Langdon AM,
Cheadle Hall, Justice Minister Schweitzer, Cam-
rose MLA Jackie Lovely and my amazing staffers
(Peter Tindall, Vicki Welsh and Joyce Bazant). We
had a fabulous week of town halls, meetings and
thank you tours, and it has been such a privilege
to see folks attend our meetings and to get such
tremendous, thoughtful advice from you on some
of the legislation we are working on. We will be
having another town hall on Oct. 3 to chat about
immigration. The town hall will be held in Lang-
don at the Firehouse Grill. Watch my Facebook
page for details and we look forward to seeing
you there.
I would also like to clarify that there have been
some very misleading claims about our consulta-
tions around police funding so let me clear up
some of the inaccuracy. We made a commitment
in our platform to consult with municipal leader-
ship on the provincial formula for funding police
services. At this time as you know, we are in need
of officers throughout rural Alberta and fixing this
is a key priority. It has been made very clear to
us, and not just recently, by municipalities and
citizens of Alberta that the funding of police is a
priority for them, and they are looking to govern-
ment to figure out a better model to help with
distribution of costs for policing. This needs to
be equitable and transparent. This is not new in-
formation as consultations happened in different
around 2011. Rural municipalities, districts and
Metis settlements are provided policing regardless
of population with no direct costs as are towns,
villages and hamlets with less than 5,000 people
(Carseland, for example). Municipalities over the
5,000 mark are responsible for providing their
own policing either through establishing their
own police force (think Calgary or Edmonton) or
contracting with the RCMP (think Chestermere
and Strathmore). Right now, most Albertans pay
some share of the policing costs in their taxes at
the municipal level. We are one of the only prov-
inces that subsidizes policing for rural communi-
ties at such a high level. This is why we must have
meetings with rural communities to understand
what a new funding model would look like, so we
are just getting started by doing our consultations
and public engagements.
Our first responsibility and our duty is to pro-
tect Albertans. Rural crime in some of our areas
has risen dramatically, especially in break and en-
ters. We need to address this as soon as possible,
and we need to review what is working and what
is not. We need to invest in more police services
and enhance public safety. When the model for
funding is completed, after consultations, the dol-
lars collected from municipalities will be reinvest-
ed in policing on the frontline. This is an increase
to funding for policing. We are honoured to have
had the opportunity to speak with constituents
about this and to have received such fantastic
feedback. As always, we love to hear from you.

Capsule Comments
Everyone’s familiar with people with a Type A
personality. They are aggressive, competitive,
impatient and always striving for perfection. There
is also a Type D personality….”D” for distressed.
Those in this group tend to be anxious, lonely
with possible trauma in their background. This
personality type often experience cardiac problems
due to continuously repressing their feelings.
Receiving a diagnosis of cancer is heartbreaking.
Cancer treatment has made great strides during
the past 30 years and is the best path to pursue.
However, there are many costly alternative
therapies out there that are totally ineffective. Be
aware of ads for “cures” like caesium chloride,
herbal remedies, laetrile, essential oils, alkaline
diets and ozone. These do not have any effect on
cancer and fall into the category of “if it sounds too
good to be true, it probably is”.
However, there are some alternative treatments
that can be used while on conventional therapy.
These therapies don’t cure cancer but they can help
with the stress, pain, anxiety and fatigue of a cancer
diagnosis. These therapies include acupuncture,
massage, mediation, relaxation techniques, tai chi
and yoga.
Don’t brush your teeth too hard. Use a soft
toothbrush in a circular motion and make sure you
work on the area between the teeth and the gum line.
It’s important to get rid of the plaque, the whitish
sticky material that causes decay and if left to build
up, can become tartar which can’t be brushed off.
This change can happen in as little as a week. So
make good oral hygiene part of your daily routine.

Special teams spoil Kings home opener

MARIO PRUSINA
Times Editor
Five on five, the Wheatland Kings went toe to toe
with the Okotoks Bisons.
However, special teams proved to be the downfall
for the local Junior B hockey team, which fell 6-1 in
their home opener on Sept. 21 at the Strathmore Fam-
ily Centre.
The Kings went 1-11 on the power play – scor-
ing their lone marker on a five-on-three advantage
– while allowing three goals against on five short-
handed opportunities.
With numbers like that, it’s easy to spot where the
game was lost.
“Honestly, I think five-on-five we can take these
guys all day long – it’s just a matter of staying out of
the box,” said Kings assistant coach Ron West. “The
battle and compete level is good, but the bottom line
is stay out of the box. We gave up (too many) power
play goals and we need to stop that. That will stop.
“We have a big weekend next week – three games –
and we’ll knock it out then … when you lose the first
one with that kind of number, you want back (on the
ice) as fast as possible.”
Trailing 3-0 early in the third period, the Kings
scored their first goal of the season, when Lucas
Muenchrath and Adrian Kusu teamed up to find Kody
Hammond on the power play. Unfortunately, any mo-
mentum gained was squashed 59 seconds later, as
the Bisons restored their three-goal lead. The Bisons
scored twice late in the game to cement the win.
Despite the result, the Kings are optimistic for the
upcoming season. They are a young team built on
speed and work ethic. Those strengths can be utilized
on the bigger Olympic-size ice surface at the Strath-
more Family Centre.
“We just have to (use our home ice) to our advan-
tage. It’s a big ice and when we have the big ice, we
have to dominate,” said West. “We can outskate them;
we know what we’re doing on the big ice where oth-
er (teams) don’t because they are used to the small
ice. We know how to dump and chase a little bit bet-
ter, know how to beat them through the middle and
control the centre.”
The Kings will now prepare for a huge weekend,
as they host three games in three days, starting with
a home game versus Lomond on Friday, Sept. 27 (8
p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Kings will
then host High River on Sept. 28 (8 p.m.), before re-
turning the next day to host Coaldale at 4:15 p.m.

Local youth finds
acceptance in rodeo
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Thirteen-year-old Jaxon
Campbell is following in his
family’s footsteps. His mom,
Tiffany Campbell, was a bar-
rel racer, his grandfather, Bob
Larsen, a team roper and pole
bender, and Jaxon has now
found his true passion in ro-
deo with the rough stock.
Riding for only a little
over a year, the young bare-
back rider has won his way
to compete at the Canadian
Junior Roughstock Champi-
onships Oct. 4-6 in Teepee
Creek, Alta.
Campbell is entering the
competition in second place
from one of the two groups
he rides with – the Crooked
Horn Canadian Junior Rough-
stock – and will be compet-
ing against 10 riders from
each of the four total groups
attending the championships.
Campbell is hoping to place
top three in the senior divi-
sion to earn him a spot at
the Junior Roughstock World
Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada,
Dec. 4-10.
Having previously played
hockey for eight years,
Campbell made the difficult
decision to focus solely on
rodeo this year after learning
about his chances of making
it to Las Vegas.
“I decided I wanted to do
the rodeo; it’s the Larsen
thing to do, my mom did
it and her father did it, but
I was more into the rough
stock so I decided to try
bareback,” he said. “I had so
much fun, the thrill was awe-
some; I was so nervous but
I loved it … and now I get
to the rodeo and I am ener-
gized and excited to ride.”
In fact, that is the main
reason he made the transi-
tion from playing hockey
with a local team to focusing
solely on rodeo. After strug-
gling for years to make more
friends and to be accepted
as one of the team, Camp-
bell has finally found a place
where everyone accepts him
for who he is, where he has
made many new friends and
where other kids even look
up to him.
Campbell, who has been
described by many in the
rodeo community as a true
cowboy under the hat, some-
one who is helpful, polite
and will always shake your
hand, has autism, attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD) and social anxiety
disorder.
Despite some of the chal-
lenges Campbell has faced,
he has been described as al-
ways working to overcome
them, as an awesome and
friendly kid and someone
who can be counted on to
always help with whatever
needs being done.
“He has really come out
of his shell and really come
into his own. It has brought
out a confidence in him and
it’s amazing what acceptance
will do, it’s been amazing to
watch him grow,” said mom
Tiffany, who attributes some
of his success to the mentor-
ship and advice he has re-
ceived from other rodeo par-
ents and professionals.
Campbell, who has won
several rodeos already this
year, will be competing in
the Crooked Horn Finals on
Sept. 29 in Siksika at 11 a.m.
Although he has been fo-
cusing on riding bareback
this year, next year he hopes
to try saddle bronc and steer
riding on his way to poten-
tially becoming a bull rider.
Campbell put his experi-
ence with rodeo best when
he applied to ride at the Fu-
ture Champions Challenge in
Ponoka, Alta., Oct. 24-Nov. 1,
something he will find out if
he has been chosen to ride in
after Oct. 9.
“There are so many things
I love about rodeo, the help
and support from friends,
family and fans, coaches,
stock contractors and volun-
teers. Everyone is there for
each other, not just to win
and be the best. When you
ride good everyone cheers,
when you buck off everyone
moans and if you get hurt
everyone makes sure you’re
okay. I feel like I belong, fit
in and can be myself around
rodeo and no one judges
me for being different,” said
Campbell. “Rodeo is the best
thing that’s ever happened to
me.”
