Weeks of conflicting debates and persuasive arguments

regarding the renewal of a Canadian Badlands membership
were put to rest last week, when the majority of town council voted in favour of continuing to support Canadas largest
municipal partnership.
The 63-member organization had billed the town at the
end of last year with an invoice for the 2016 annual shareholder levy of $6,423 for membership renewal. The action
sparked debate among councillors, some of whom felt the
services provided by the Canadian Badlands failed to follow
through on former promises and flopped in providing value
for Strathmores dollar. In turn, administration was tasked
to reach out to the Canadian Badlands, and councillors received clarification and explanation from the organization.
Following discussions at the Jan. 27 regular council meeting, a number of local officials were convinced by the organizations pledges to address the councils previous concerns
regarding proper signage, Strathmores poor representation,
the Canadian Badlands involvement, and lack of communication.
Ive come to see that theres a huge value added, said
Councillor Denise Peterson. The support for Canadian Badlands holds tremendous potential for our community and I
think itd be extremely short-sighted for us to not jump on
board to do everything we could to nurture our own self
interest and the interest of all the other communities that
partner in the Canadian Badlands Tourism.
Peterson also referred to the estimated value of $160,000
brought into the community by the Canadian Badlands
Tourism Conference, and the support provided to some local
businesses, stating that Strathmore was one of five member
communities equipped to handle the capacity to host the
event.
The Canadian Badlands also offered matching grant funding to the maximum of $5,000 for signage on the periphery
of the community to indicate their partnership with the Canadian Badlands, and vowed to assist in creating a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) to find Strathmores
tourism niche.
I dont always engage in the discussions but Im going
to tonight, because I do support belonging to the Canadian
Badlands and I think its important that we as a community be engaged with the Canadian Badlands Tourism, said
Mayor Michael Ell.
It really comes down to us making sure that we also engage with them. There are approximately four million tourist
visitors that come to this area each year and they spend in
the area in excess of $55 million. If we want a bigger share
of that tourism dollar we have to also be engaged and go out
there and grab it. If were not a member, we cant grab it.
Yet some councillors remained unconvinced. Councillor
Bob Sobol addressed the Canadian Badlands website stating
that Strathmores amenities and hospitality sectors were not
acknowledged.

Drew Gregory trail blazes

his way to the top
MIRIAM OSTERMANN

From the birth of his son, to
the anticipated release of his
new album, Standards country music artist Drew Gregorys
year became even more exceptional when he took home the
Male Artist of the Year award at
the Association of Country Music in Alberta awards.
Gregory, who picked up a
guitar in high school
and never put it
down, was on his
way back from
the
bathroom
when his name
was called at the
ceremony
on
Jan. 31.
I think the
cameras went
to my table
and I wasnt
even sitting
there and I
ran up the
side, said
Gregory. I
was pretty
excited
to
hear my name.
I think I was in
a bit of shock and hardly remembered

my speech until my wife taped it and
showed it to me later.
The rising star, who resides in Strathmore, still works on the family farm in
Standard and spends his weekends focused on music. Growing up, Gregory
remembered his familys love for music;
his father always had vinyl records spinning, and his mothers radio could be
heard in the background. The 31-yearold didnt start playing an instrument
until high school at which time he began performing locally, despite never
having received proper lessons. While
his musical career didnt take off until
years later when he moved to Nashville,
he never forgot his roots, reflecting on
his upbringing in his songs.
Anyone whos listened to my song
would definitely know what Im talking
about as I sing about how I grew up,
he said.
I never took lessons or needed to be
forced to play. It was something I generally loved. I love making the music
and song writing and being in the studio, but the number one thing for me is
the performing, have people listen, get
into the audience, and create moments.
Thats the big thing for me.
Gregory has performed at numerous events in Strathmore, including the
Strathmore Stampede, at the Station,
parties, and weddings. However, he

said he had never expected to win such

a prestigious award. His manager Angie
Morris also walked away with an award
that night, and the band Dominos, who
is the other band signed with Morris,
also took home awards. Gregory still
remains an active member of the local
agricultural society, hockey, and baseball team.
Drew Gregorys newest album, I Was

and focuses mainly on growing up in a

Continued from Page 1
I love the premise, I love the concept
and I can assure council that I have
the utmost respect for the board and
their vision and what they want to put
together, said Councillor Bob Sobol.
Unfortunately I dont always see that
followed up by the, and with respect,
with the staff that they had working for
them. Weve had promises before. Im
looking for more than that and thats
been promised for years, and Im disappointed with what has not been provided, more than what has been provided
by the Badlands.
Councillor Rocky Blokland agreed,
adding that he felt he was given an ultimatum last year to renew the membership in order to ensure the conference
would remain in Strathmore.
However, other councillors felt some
of the onus reverted back to council
and the notion of effective communication.
Im right on the fence on this one,
right on the fence, said Councillor
Brad Walls.
Maybe some of
it is for us to take
blame, maybe its
not. But one thing
[president
Barry
Morishita] said to
me was that he is
committed to communication better

with us. Whatever happens here maybe
we take a little more of an administration approach and work harder trying
to get this to where we want.
According to some council members,
the $6,423 is a small price to pay to
remain in a partnership with 63 other
communities, grow Strathmores tourism industry and identity, work closely together with the organization, and
gain the support for local businesses.
In the end council voted in favour of
approving the Canadian Badlands requisition for the full amount. Councillor
Bob Sobol and Councillor Rocky Blokland opposed the
motion. Councillor Steve Grajczyk
was absent during
the Jan. 27 council
meeting.

of the other in the centre of the patients chest and
push down about 2 inches which forces the blood
through the body before releasing then compressing

compressions per minute. Do you know how to do
CPR? You could save a life.
Drug researchers are using tissue chip technology

These chips can be connected to each other so the

Rona staff excited for second annual charity bake sale

Last year, when Shelley
Gieck walked into the Rona
staff room, tears started
streaming down her face
with emotions running high
at the unexpected sight of
tables laden with homemade
baked goods created by her
peers. Gieck, who originally
concocted the idea of a bake

sale to raise additional funds
for the Hair Massacure fundraiser and thus support children affected by life-threatening illnesses, is building
on last years success by
avidly labouring the point
of the second annual bake
sale among the current Rona
staff members. With $1,400

Thought for
the Week
~
A lot of poor
advice is
worth less
than a little
good advice.
over two weeks ahead of the official campaign start date of Feb.
1, the bake sale racked up over
$900 last year; a portion which
made up nearly one-third of the
total funds raised for the Hair
Massacure campaign.
However, for 2016, the store
has set its sights on greater horizons.
Im hoping to beat it and I
harp and bug everybody, Im
doing a calendar and marking
off the days in February until we
get to it, Gieck said.
I feel that we are a good company that supports the town and
supports whatever fundraisers
are going on and service clubs.
I know were a big sponsor at
the trade show on the rodeo
grounds, and were in the parade. But for me, our big fundraiser for this, the Hair Massacure event, is the bake sale.
Itll be the second time Strathmores Rona will be hosting the
bake sale and the fourth time
participating in the campaign.
The store has already begun
selling the campaigns pink hard
hats, pencils, paper bears, and
lollipops, while filling up their
pledge sheets with proceeds being donated to the Ronald McDonald House and the Make a
Wish Foundation. The $1,400
signals a healthy start to the
fundraising efforts, despite the
repercussions of a struggling
economy. With hopes of recreating some of last years creations,
including sparkling edible stiletto shoes, and dessert that
looks like burgers and fries, the
staff aim to throw a curve ball
at other Rona stores who, over
the years, have turned the event
into a fundraising competition.
In doing so, Gieck and the staff
intend to surpass the approximately $3,000 raised overall in
2015.
Shelley Gieck (middle) is organizing

Massacure

Sale at Rona on

fundraising
campaign, Hair Massacure, which raises
funds for the Ronald
McDonald House
and Make-a-Wish
Foundation. Debbie Lindsay (l) and
Joanne Stevens (r)

the items one sale

I just thought how can we

make some extra money above
what weve been doing, Gieck
said.
Last year we probably made,
Im going to say $3,000 to
$4,000. Thats kind of what our
goal is again this year but with
the economy the way it is, its a
good start. If we make it thats
awesome, but every little bit
helps. I dont think theres not
one person that not affected.
The Hair Massacure event
originated in Edmonton in 2003,
when a young girl, Kali MacDonald, was cleared from cancer and treatment after going
into remission, a state in which
she remains to this day. Kali
was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age
of 2, and endured three years of
daily chemotherapy. While she
involved in a trial where she was
given adult doses, the treatment
proved to be successful, and Kali
went on to inspire the Hair Massacure fundraising event that

to this day distributed over $10
million to northern Alberta charity organization. Although Gieck
crossed off an item on her bucket list last year, when she dyed
her hair and shaved her locks for
the cause, members of the community can become involved
by pinking their hair having
it bleached and dyed pink at
Mount Royal University, shaving
their hair, donating their hair to
various wig programs, or more
commonly by purchasing Kali
Bears and other items at SaveOn-Foods or Rona.
The Rona 2nd annual Hair
Massacure Bake Sale will take
place on Feb. 12 from 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. Prices range from $2 to
$6 and items can be purchased
using cash or cards. The Hair
Massacure campaign will continue to accept donations and
sell items until Feb. 28.
Power of Play available in Strathmore

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Chevrolet Power of Play Hockey program
in partnership with Hockey Canada was introduced in December to inspire young Canadians
to be better people through positive values in the
game of hockey.
The program is working with seven ambassadors who are former Team Canada players. Each
of those ambassadors provides a word thats really important to them in hockey and in life, said
officials.
For example Ryan Smyth is one of the ambassadors, said Dana Gladstone, Hockey Canadas
vice president of business development and partnerships.
Ryans word is heart and he talks about heart
and what it means. This program conveys those
words in a number of ways to the peewee players. Theyre really at an age where they can understand abstract ideas. Its the right age to reinforce these messages to them.
Gladstone said they have seen tremendous response to the program and have hit their targets
in the program so they can share it with coaches
right across the country.
She added The program gives the coaches
the opportunity to recognize their players with
a commemorative puck for doing something inspiring on and off the ice.
Its the coachs opportunity to not just say you
know what, great you scored the winning goal or
thats a great pass you made, said Gladstone.
It could be you know what you made a decision to the benefit of a teammate, you really
did something that was inspirational. Its really
all about inspiration. It could be somebody at
the end of the game because it was an important
game and it ended up they shortened the bench
a little bit and somebody who didnt get to play
at the end certainly could be recognized because
they really cared about their team.
She added that players can be awarded for
their off-ice efforts; for example, where someone organized a particular event and a player
got involved, or a player helped a teammate with
homework.
Strathmore Motor Products Marketing Director
Patrice Fernandez thinks there are some perks to
look forward to for local peewee coaches in this
program.

Royalty review was much ado about nothing

DEREK FILDEBRANDT
MLA Strathmore-Brooks

The good news: The NDPs eight-month long
royalty review changed pretty much nothing.
The bad news: The NDP put Albertas oil and
gas industry through a eight-month royalty review
that created massive uncertainty for investors, and
likely cost jobs.
For the last two decades, the NDP have matterof-factly declared that oil and gas companies were
robbing Albertans blind by not paying their fair
share of royalties. Royalties being a complicated
series of regulations, it was easy for the NDP to
promise that if they only raised royalty rates, Alberta could spend until the cows came home.
That was a nice sound bite in an election platform; that is, until the NDP got elected. The NDP
launched their royalty review panel in June, continuing to declare that it would net them even more
revenue, despite our energy sector facing one of
its biggest declines in decades. NDP rhetoric made
clear that in their world view, the energy sector
was a bottomless money pit of money that government need only dip its net into a little deeper.
Ed Stelmach tried that in 2007 and triggered a
massive capital flight to other jurisdictions, but
that lesson of history didnt matter to some.
To allay the fears of investors, the NDP smartly
included on their review panel several respected
industry experts like Dave Mowat and Peter Tertzakian. The inclusion of these experts went some
way to calm the investment community, but it also
made it less likely that a hard-core ideological royalty regime would be imposed.
Investors have nonetheless moved investment
away from Alberta. While low oil prices have had
a depressing effect on oil well drilling globally,
the royalty review coupled with a massive new
carbon tax have driven already limited capital

investment to other, more stable and competitive
jurisdictions like Saskatchewan.
The announcement of the royalty reviews conclusions on Jan. 29 came as a huge relief to industry. The government would make a few tinkering
changes, but overall, the status quo would prevail.
For investors, oilfield workers, ancillary industries and every Albertan who lives a better life with
a strong energy industry, this came as good news.
The royalty review was akin to a mechanic popping the hood of the car and spending a few hours
talking about the need for a new engine, only to
fill the washer fluid and say yourre good to go.
In this case, the car inspection cost Alberta taxpayers $3 million and months of economic uncertainty.
The NDP had however been relying on billions
of dollars in new revenues to flow from higher
royalties, with Finance Minister Joe Ceci promising
increases as recently as his October 2015 budget
speech.
The NDPs budget predicts a 16 per cent increase in revenues to balance the budget in 2019,
but in the last three years of that budget, provides
zero details on how it will achieve that.
Its fair to assume that the NDP had been banking on its royalty review to bail them out. Without
the revenue bonanza that they believed was coming, how will they now close that budget hole?
In October, the projected consolidated deficit
stood at $9.1 billion, using oil price assumptions
that were far too optimistic, even then. Since October oil prices have continued to decline, compounding the problem.
The NDP inherited a $6.1 billion deficit from the
former government and no one blames them for
the price of oil, but their plans to continue increasing spending without any realistic source of rev-
enue to pay for it is their responsibility.

Albertas largest job creator has been subjected to an eightmonth royalty review that in the end found that they were in
fact paying their fair share after being demonized. The review
only caused huge investor uncertainty for eight months, cost
good paying jobs, and poked another massive, multi-billion
dollar hole in the NDPs budget plans.
Still, Albertans should be grateful that smart individuals on
the royalty review panel stood their ground and ensured that
the final report was based on evidence, and not ideology. It
could have been worse.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Preserving Strathmores historic buildings

To the Editor
Readers of the Times may be getting tired of hearing about council taking action regarding preserving
the building that the Anglican Congregation met in
for over 100 years, hereafter called the building.
When I first heard about the Western District Historic Society (WDHS) preserving the building, WDHS
was going to move the building down near McDonalds close to the barn that has been restored. I could
picture a nice little miniature village to visit and see
the building. And, I assumed that WDHS had money
to pay for having a miniature village other than paying from my Strathmore taxes and Alberta tax dollars.
Now, I must admit I may have missed something
in presentations to Council by WDHS. Ive met with
Bruce Klaiber who has made WDHS presentations to
council. Bruce informed me that WDHS examined the
options such as moving the building or restoring
it in situ. He even told me that there may even be
somebody with family links to the the building who
will move it out of town rather than see the building
demolished.
Now, as Ive not seen WDHS documents on options,
I cannot say what WDHS considered. Regardless, I
believe there is information that should be on the table before decisions and public hearings. Council has
made it clear Public Hearings on the fate of the
building will be held. Will hearings be held without
the public being given any advanced information on
WDHS or Strathmore paying for the buildings property? Who will pay for renovation? What will be done
with/in the renovated building? If the building is preserved, there will be month to month bills and capital
maintenance in perpetuity. Who will pay?
In my earlier article in the Times, I implied there
should be a business plan relating to preserving

the building. A business plan, for example for in situ
preservation, should let Strathmore residents know
what expenses are expected now and in the future
and who will pay now and in the future. In other
words, a credible business plan is needed for making
a rational decision on the acceptability of proposed
development.
My understanding is that council does not have
any meaningful business plan document from WDHS.
Therefore, council needs to do the following by council resolution:
(1) Require WDHS by Feb. 28, 2016 to provide a
business plan for in situ restoration of the building
that covers land use, moneys required now and in the
future and details on who will pay.
(2) Commit council to providing WDHS business
plans documents to the public on Strathmores website as soon as the town officially receives them from
WDHS.
(3) Hold public hearings at least 15 days after receiving WDHS business plan documents but not later
than Mar. 15, 2016.
(4) If WDHS does not provide a business plan document as per (1) above, council commits to rescinding
the 120 day moratorium relating to completion of sale
of the property the building within two weeks (i.e.,
by March 15, 2016).
Given the Mayor and Councillors Peterson and
Walls are founding directors of the WDHS, good faith
and transparency would be shown if one or more of
these persons introduced motions as suggested above
and did this soon.

While Christmas is over,
the Strathmore Municipal
Library isnt finished wrapping presents quite yet.
With their annual monthlong program, Blind Date
with a Book, underway, the
staff rolled out the decorative wrapping paper and
tape for a third year. Having
built up some followers and
positive feedback, the mystery books are back on the
library shelves waiting to be
signed out and read.
Blind date with a book
is such a fun program, said
Carmen Erison, assistant director of library services.
This allows people to step
out of their comfort zones.
Its a great chance to spice
up your reading life. You
never know, maybe youve
been reading romances all
this time and maybe youll
bring a mystery home and
get hooked. Or maybe youll
find a new author that you
love.
The premise consists of
wrapped books containing
a tag with a clue or teaser
hinting of the stories inside.

But the program is not only
a creative way to expose
patrons to new genres, it
also provides a platform for
books lacking circulation to
gain awareness.
We tend to have a lot of
good books where maybe
they dont generate the
same buzz as others do,
and they just kind of sit on
the shelf and if people read
them they love them, said
Rachel Dick Hughes, director of library services. Its
just a matter of getting the
attention on them.
Although the program had
a bumpy start in the beginning, Strathmore residents
quickly warmed to the idea
and books began flying off
the shelves. Blind Date with
a Book will be available
throughout all of February
and caters to all ages. Unlike
a real blind date, however,
Erison offered a solution if
stuck with a non-compatible item, stating: The great
thing about it, if you dont
like your blind date, you can
bring it back to the library
and therell be no hurt feelings.

Library offers magical moments in February

MIRIAM OSTERMANN

To atone for programming visibly
absent last February, the Strathmore
Municipal Library is pulling out all the
stops and upping the ante with new
initiatives and additional fun for when
the younger generation receive a break
from school.
Entrenching their unofficial mandate
of providing programming for children when out of school, the library is
launching new programming from Feb.
16 20 during teachers convention
week and February long weekend.
The programs include a magic show,
building a monumental igloo from milk
jugs, animal-themed crafts and games,
and finishing with a Friday fun film.
When it comes to our programs,
were always trying to be inventive
and creative and come up with different things that kids can do, said Carmen Erison, assistant director to library
services at the Strathmore Municipal
Library.
Weve done Get Your Game on
many times where we opened up the
room with board games. But its always
the same thing. We didnt do anything
last year, and we want to keep raising
the bar and making our programs and
the library more fun for the community.
By forging ahead with their proposed
plans, the library is welcoming, for the
first time, magician Christopher Cool,
known for his jokes and kid-friendly
shows, on Feb. 16. As its expected to be
a popular event, community members
are urged to attend the free 45-minute
show as early as possible, around 1:30,
to secure a seat.
Weve never done a magic show, at
least in the five years that Ive been
here, and we wanted to do something
unique, Erison said.
Its great because the town council
has been so wonderful to us and increasing our funding, that weve been
able to put a little additional money
into our programming budget this year
to be able to afford to hire performers
like this. Kids love magicians, adults
love magicians, you cant go wrong
with a magician.
The following day, the library embarks upon creating a large igloo from
400 four-litre milk jugs. While the staff
have accumulated 40 jugs so far, a bin
at the library is available for the community to donate more of the plastic
items. Weather permitting, the igloo is
expected to be constructed outside, but
will be moved to the meeting room if
ZINC DEFICIENCY
Assistant Director to
Library Services Carmen Erison is excited
for new programming
being offered while
children are out of
school from Feb. 16
-20. The line-up includes a magic show,
building an igloo out
of milk jugs, games
and crafts, and a
movie.
It has been shown that individuals with MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis ,

Psoriasis , allergy, Asthma , Eczema , IBS have a consistent , and often
severe zinc deficiency which is greatly benefited by a specific Zinc
replacement therapy. A simple taste test can determine a

a cold front is expected. The

project will later serve as a
miniature fundraiser, when
the jugs are being recycled,
with funds being allocated to
future programs.
Then on Feb. 18, children
have a chance to join the
staff for a fun-filled afternoon animal party. The participants collect stamps after
visiting a variety of animalthemed stations, where they
will engage in crafts and
games, and use their stamps
to enter for a chance to win a
$30 gift card of their choice.
To finish off the week, the
library is hosting the Friday
Fun Film, featuring a PG
movie.
The community is reminded that children under eight
years of age need to be accompanied by an adult. All
programs are free to attend.
The Magic Show with
Christopher Cool begins at
2 p.m. on Feb. 16. Just Build
It: Igloo Edition takes place
from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Feb.
17. The following day, on
Feb. 18, the library will feature Go Wild at the Library
from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and
showcase their Friday Fun
Film event from 1 p.m. to 3
p.m. on Feb. 19. For more information visit www.strathmorelibrary.ca.

LEARNING THE VALUE

As a teenager, I learned some important lessons about value. Through
cutting neighbours lawns and
negotiating a fair price for the work,
I learned lessons about market
value.
My difficult decision to part with
my boyhood baseball collection for
$1,500 to help fund a high school
band trip to Europe was initiation into
the reality that something is only
worth what someone else will pay
you for it.
These early lessons, along with
others, were valuable in and of themselves, but they also reinforced an
economic worldview that can have
some unintended consequence.
As we live through a season in our
community where the implication
of national and global value conversations are impacting our lives in
significant ways, have we allowed
the reality of economic lenses to
become the dominant story of our
lives? In a season where the value
of a barrel of oil, the loonie, the cost
of a home (or rent), or a provincial
budget shapes many of our lives,
how are these realities shaping the
way we interact with others?
Is it possible that the dominance of
economic realities are keeping us
from seeing true value in people,
opportunities, and organizations
that sometimes do not balance in an
economic sense. Have we reduced
expressions of kindness, concern

and care, and humanity to a balance
sheet? Are we able to see our neighbours as more than the possibility of
profit or loss?
Are we aware of the force of economics on our day to day interactions with others, decisions that are
made in our community, and even the
way we see ourselves?
You may be wondering about the
saltiness of these questions. This
doesnt seem very spiritual.
Yet, I wonder in this season of
economic challenge for many, if one
of the most spiritual things we can
do is to be aware of the force of the
dollar on our lives and our identity as
individuals and as a broader community to wonder if there isnt more
to the value of a neighbour, friend,
family member, property, church, organization than its economic impact.
For some, this will mean a renewed
acceptance of self value, worth and
belonging on the basis of simply
being a human being- not a human
doing or economic being.
Jesus, quoting the Old Testament
challenged, love God with all your
heart, soul, mind and strength and
love your neighbour as yourself.
Whats the effect of economic reality
on your ability to love neighbour and
love yourself?

Rosebud for Syria puts love

into action on Valentines Day
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor

Refuge, a performance fundraiser organized by Rosebud for Syria, will be
held in Rosebud Church on the afternoon of Feb. 14.
Funds raised will support Syrian refugees, here in Alberta and overseas.
Refuge is an open-hearted rendering of true stories and original material from artists identifying
with the need for refuge
within all of us, said Jeany
Snider, a Rosebud for Syria
group member, in an e-mail.
It is one way that we can
act upon our desire to love
our neighbor, she wrote.
We decided to go about it
this way, hosting an offering
of music and story, because
that is one of the primary resources we have to give in Rosebud.
Scheduling the event on Valentines
Day was mostly practical at first, since
it was an available date on the calendar.
But the connection quickly provided
an opportunity to genuinely express
love, Snider said. Jesus says if we only
love those who love us, what reward
is there in that? Identifying with the
thousands of refugees in the world, and
attempting to love them, becomes a
much more meaningful Valentine than
the way we traditionally celebrate ... its
love in action.
Singer-songwriters
Natalie
Inga
Gauthier and Cassia Schramm, both
graduates of Rosebud School of the
Arts (RSA), will perform music, as will
Bill and Renita Hamm and the RSA
womens choir, Rosa Cantorum. The
Dearhearts, the Rosebud-based trio
who won the Regional Championship
of CBCs 2015 Searchlight Competition,
will also perform.
Renita Hamm, Morris Ertman and

Maki Van Dyke will share stories, and
audience members may have opportunity to share their own. The RSA drama
ministry team will give a presentation
of Psalm 32 and a short play called
The Provision of Ishmael.
Rosebud for Syria will accept a freewill offering, with all donations tax-receipted by Rosebud Church.
After the performance, folks are encouraged to stay and have
conversation in the fellowship hall with snacks provided by RSA, said Snider.
This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with
(other people about) what
is happening in the world,
to listen to one anothers
concerns and share ideas
for how to love our neighbor.
(The Refuge event) allows us to
grapple with what is going on in our
world and find ways to respond to the
cries of our conscience. It allows us to
focus our energy toward a project designed to care for the needs of others.
Funds raised at Refuge will assist the
two Syrian refugee families sponsored
by the Strathmore group Hope for Syria. Some funds may also be designated
to Med Air, an agency that provides relief to people in locations unreached by
other organizations.
People who want to donate to Refuge but are unable to attend on Feb. 14
may contact Rosebud Church directly,
specifying their donation is for Syrian
relief. Other fundraising events are also
planned, including a Rosa Cantorum
concert in the Rockyford parish, April

For more than 20 years, Brentwood
Elementary Schools choir students
have participated in the Alberta Childrens Choir South (ACC), forging the
way for eight current ardent and talented individuals who will be participating in the opportunity once again this
year a circumstance not without its
challenges.
Brentwoods senior choir Grade 5
students Emma Moore and Tegan Deloli, as well as Grade 6 students Alyssa
Poole, Ruth Dinunzio, Madeline Hvingklby, Zhara Harney, Keuna Drydale,
and Jaden Frizzell, will not only be surrounded by nearly 100 students from
across southern Alberta and receive
instruction from world-renowned conductors Zimfira Poloz and Faye Klassen,
but engage in music involving Norwegian, Spanish, and Hebrew languages.
Its kids who want to participate,
who want to have that experience,
who want to grow even farther and
sing repertoire thats more demanding
and more challenging, said Carolyn
Steeves, music teacher at Brentwood Elementary School. This year, in Norwegian, thats very challenging and these
kids that want to put that extra effort
in so I see that kind of student coming forward each year. Theyve seen
the children whove gone in the past,
and they look up to them. I think they
know its a big deal and they want to
rise to the occasion.
Steeves added that the local choristers generally return to the school with
greater confidence and heightened
leadership skills. She has noticed some
students take on an active role in helping other students and step up to tackle
solos.
Hvingklby, Harney, and Drydale all
took part in the event last year, and are
eager to participate again.
All the students here really like to
sing and participate in all the things
we like to do in our school, but it gives
those kids who really do go above and
beyond a chance to do something extra, said Steeves. Not only does it give
them the opportunity to do that, but it
also gives them the opportunity to meet
kids from other choirs across southern
Alberta and work with world-class conductors. Its really a wonderful opportunity for these children.
The Alberta Children Choirs is exposing the children to award-winning
conductor, educator and adjudicator
Zimfira Poloz, who has been teaching
around the world. While the experience will required extensive practices,
intense hours and discipline of the 11to-15 year-olds, those who participated
last year are looking forward to making
new friends, learning different types of
music, and getting to sing.
I like to sing because I get to express
myself and it sounds nice, said Hvingklby. I grew up with music because I
play piano and my mom and sister play
piano and we all sing our songs. Ever
since Kindergarten, I always sang Twinkle Twinkle or something like that.
Tegan Deloli, who said he was surrounded by music all his life, learned to
play piano by ear and loves choral music. Participating in the ACC for the first
time is an exciting event for the youngster whos already passionate about
Verdi, Puccini and Beethoven.
The Alberta Childrens Choir South
concert will take place on Feb. 6 at the
Knox United Church in Calgary at 7
p.m.

Me and the Mrs. to perform on Valentines Day

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor

Paul Zacharias and his wife Heather
Pattengale Zacharias of Rosebud, who
compose and perform as the musical
duo Me and the Mrs., are planning Me
and the Mrs. and St. Valentine, a Valentines Day concert for everyone both
couples and singles.
The human race is one big family really: married (and) single, Paul Zacharias said in an e-mail. I think the same
things make us all tick. We all have
our own struggles and joys and its just
good to be in each others company.
This concert will give people a chance
to do that, he said.
Well be playing a nice mix of material covering a range of subject matter,
he wrote. So even if youre not currently attached, its safe to say youll have
a good evening filled with laughter,
songs, stories and maybe the odd tear.

Its appropriate that he and Heather
give a Valentines Day concert, Zacharias said, because theyre beekeeping,
traveling musicians who are in love,
and St. Valentine, known for watching over lovers and couples, is also the
patron saint of beekeepers and travelers.
Concert guests will
be served a glass of
wine, and will receive
a floral arrangement
created by hostess
Alysa van Haastert,
whom Zacharias described as an artist
with flowers.
Good news for
someone coming with a date, who
might also be a little forgetful, he said,
weve got the flowers covered for you!
The rest of this winter and spring, Me

and the Mrs. is mostly focusing on writing and arranging new songs and some
of the business aspects of the working
musician that easily get left behind in
the business of playing lots last year.
Theyll also soon begin work on
Rosebud
Theatre
productions: Heather in Outside Mullingar and Paul on The
Sunset Ltd.
Me and the Mrs.
and St. Valentine
takes place Sunday, Feb. 14 at 7:30
p.m., in southwest
Calgary. Tickets are
$70 per couple and
$50 for a single. For
tickets, directions and further information, contact Alysa at alysavanhaastert@

Forty teams provided an exciting atmosphere on the ice and for the fans in a

Laurie Morton Ruppe Memorial tournament at the Strathmore Family Centre last
weekend.
There were 10 Strathmore teams that
participated in the event as hosts and two

U19B team took home gold while the

U16B team won silver.
Tournament director Pam Betke said
this is something they strive for every
year is for the local teams to do well and
win medals.
Were always hoping that our teams
will be able to perform well at the tournament, said Betke. Its always nice to
win medals at a tournament. I think for
our girls its even better when it happens
on your home ice.

She said the tournament tends to have

a good reputation and it was important to
the committee for the teams to enjoy the
experience of the weekend so that teams
will want to come back year after year.
Its just another way to market the
sport, said Betke. Our girls love going
to tournaments. When you have teams
coming in from far away, its also an opportunity for those teams to bond with
each other because they get to spend a
lot more time together as a team.
This was the Strathmore Ice U19Bs

third straight gold medal, having won
tournaments previously in Lethbridge
and Rockyford and assistant coach Jan
Wathen was thrilled with how the girls
were able to work as a team en route to
going undefeated in the tournament.
Theyre a special group, said Wathen.
The girls played well. Theres just a lot
of good athletes on the team that have
played a lot of years of ringette and they
work well together.

Cross country skiing

trekking into Strathmore
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

For the last couple of weeks, the
Strathmore Golf Club has been transformed into a cross-country ski track
that will be open for use for the rest of
winter.
The idea originated among club members who wanted to find ways to use the
facilities all year round. They decided on
8.7 km of trails over the lake and Golf
Course track.
Theres a little bit of everything, said
Josh Witty, Strathmore Golf Clubs assistant pro. Theyre fairly good trails and
we just, more or less, want to get people
out and actually using it. Nowhere else
in town or around has cross-country
skiing. Its a good thing a lot of people

like being able to get out and do something else in the winter rather than just
be inside all the time; just something
different that we can provide to the
community.
He added that the trails offer a variety
of terrains, with the driving range section
being a straight track and some curvy
parts, while there are some mounds that
begin along the second fairway where
the waste bunkers would normally be.
The fee to participate is $5 per skier or $10 a family. However, golf club
members are able to access the course
for free.
Skiers must provide their own equipment, and the trails will be open seven
days a week.
Chiefs picking up points; Braves continue streak

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Wheatland Chiefs picked up
three of a possible four points on the
road last weekend, and stay a mere two
points ahead of the Okotoks Oilers for
the South Division lead after a 1-1 tie
with Medicine Hat on Jan. 29, and a 7-1
win in High River against the Foothills
Bisons on Jan. 31.
Head coach Shadoe Stoodley said
that if it werent for goaltender Nelson
Schillers 31-save performance against
Medicine Hat, the score couldve been
a lot worse than a tie.
I wasnt impressed, said Stoodley.
Our goalie, Schiller, played really well.
But we couldnt create any offense and
just pucks bouncing off our sticks too
easy and losing too many battles. It
wasnt our best game.
He added the boys needed to work
on getting the puck out of their zone
a lot cleaner than they have been and
getting the puck deep while working
on the cycle.
Zach Suntjens scored in the tie for the
Chiefs.
Stoodley said the team played much
better against Foothills because the
team was able to find their offensive
touch.
Their goaltender wasnt too strong,
said Stoodley. (We got) a couple of
powerplay goals which was good, something we always work on. I thought
they had a much stronger

game everywhere tonight.
Riley Romashenko led
the offense with two goals,
while Lucas Muenchrath,
Christopher Rebeyka, Ryan
Bell, Jason Hobson and Alec
Biletsky supplied one goal
each in the win.
The local double-A midget
team will get a rematch with
Medicine Hat when they
host them in Hussar at 5
p.m. on Feb. 6.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland Braves continue to find
ways to win, as they were
able to come from behind
to beat Okotoks 6-4 on Jan.
30, and doubled up on Red
Deer 10-5 in Hussar on Jan.
31.
Head Coach Carl Knudsen said the boys were able
to overcome some adversity
after Okotoks was able to
score two quick goals early
in third to tie the game.
We had a few powerplays
there in the third period
that we were good on, said
Knudsen. We just got some
timely goals in third period.
It was good to see. We cant
take a night off now. Its just
all building towards the final
tournament.
Knudsen said the team put

in a similar effort against Red
Deer, and he was pleased to
see the offense get going.
We played confident with
the puck getting that cycle
work going, said Knudsen.
Then causing turnovers on
the fore-check and taking
that puck to the net and going hard.
Tristan Zandee scored five
goals to lead the charge,
while Trey Gillis, Adam Kirkpatrick, Kobe Gosling, Matthew Quebec and Ray Warrack contributed one goal
each in the win.
The local double-A peewee team will have a homeand-home with the Taber
Golden Suns this weekend,
starting at the Strathmore
Family Centre at 7:30 p.m.
on Feb. 5, before heading to
Taber the following day.
Meanwhile, the Wheatland
Warriors tied Cranbrook 2-2
out in Hussar on Jan. 29.
Brandon Kasdorf and Cole
Berg scored the Warriors
goals.
The local double-A bantam team will host the Foothills Bisons at the Strathmore Family Centre at 1:30
p.m. on Feb. 7.
Kings drop
road games
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

Caleb Gordon, a Rosebud School
ofThe Wheatland Kings scored the first
goal in both road games but unfortunately could not build on those leads,
losing 6-5 in Cochrane on Jan. 29 and
5-4 in a shootout to Ponoka on Jan. 30.
Veteran defenseman Blake Bishop
said the boys just didnt have the success they were looking for.
In Cochrane we knew we had a hard
challenge and it was good to get that
first goal lead, said Bishop. But we
didnt get the puck luck and from there
it was tough to battle back.
In Ponoka, we played hard until the
third period and just let off at the end
and paid the consequences. We shot the
puck lots, worked hard for 50 minutes,
but you give up that 10 minutes and
thats where it goes down hill.
He added that the team felt confident
in going to the shootout against Ponoka, having worked on shootouts during practice. However, they were well
aware the experience would be different once they were in a game situation.
Its too bad, said Bishop. Were
lucky to come out with one point and
clinch fourth place in our division.
Thats all were focused on right now
is playoffs.
Bishop cautioned that the team cant
afford to let the foot off the pedal, and
to keep meshing as a group.
Hayden Vanderploeg, Brennan Fuoco, Jacen Bracko, Chris Williams and
Brendan Moore scored in the loss to
Cochrane.
Williams,
Kyle
Dunville,
Cole
Busslinger and Zach Meadows scored
in the shootout loss to Ponoka.
The Kings played their last regular
season home game versus Banff on
Feb. 2 (results were unavailable as of
press time) and will end the season in
Cochrane on Feb. 6 (7:30 p.m.) and in
Okotoks on Feb. 7 (1:15 p.m.).
Tourney success

I started training at Anytime Fitness
Strathmore about a year ago, and it
has been a great year of training and
competing for me. The welcoming
atmosphere, staff and members has
been great, and the flexibility to go
whenever I want is great for my shift
work schedule. I began seriously
training for strength sports about five
years ago, and I am now focusing on
strongman contests. Last year was
my first year competing in strongman,
and Anytime Strathmore was my
primary gym that I used for my training.
I competed in Cranbrooks Strongest
Man, and placed fourth, and I also
competed in Spruce Groves Strongest
Man, and placed fifth overall. I plan on
doing both again this year, as well as a
few Calgary-area strongman contests.

much use since its grand opening, with
people from age three to 83 trying out
the fun sport of disc golf. It is great to
see the citizens of Strathmore spending
time outdoors and being active.
SAY is excited to announce that they
will now be hosting a monthly drop-in
disc golf league. The league is open to
players of all ages and skill levels and
is free to join. SAY hopes to introduce
new players to the sport as well as see

the skills many players have built up
since the construction of the course.
Come to play disc golf at 5:30 p.m. at
Brentwood School on the first Thursday of every month starting March 3.
No sign-up or pre-registration is required.
Play will be in a fun, random team
format with lots of prizes. If you have
discs, please bring them. Extra discs
will be available to borrow if you are
new to the sport.
For more information, please visit
www.strathmorediscgolf.com. Hope to
see you on the course on March 3!
Bisons tie Hurricanes

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

Despite a slow start on the road
against Lethbridge, the CFR Bisons salvaged a much need point in a 2-2 tie on
Jan. 30.
In their first of five road games to
close out the regular season, the Bisons
found themselves trailing 2-1 before tying the game in the third period.
Head coach Sandy Henry thought the
boys were sluggish in the beginning
and didnt respond well to the Hurricanes pressure early on.
They came hard and we were under
a lot of pressure and it took us awhile to
get our feet going, said Henry I think
we intended to dump a lot of pucks in
and we talked about it between periods.
Thats not really our identity. We want to
attack them with the puck with speed at
their blue line. Once we got in after the
first and got a chance to talk to them
and regroup, we were much better in
the second and dominant in the third.
He added that once the boys started

to skate, they were able to weather the
Hurricanes attack. Brett Trentham and
Cole Clayton scored for the Bisons.
I thought we did a good job penetrating them after the first period, said
Henry.
Yet if we got the puck moving and
our feet moving then they kind of go
away after that. I thought for 40 minutes
we were the better team and we played
20 (minutes) where they were the better
team. I thought after the first period we
really limited what they had for opportunities and at the same time increased
our level of opportunity.
Now heading up north for four games
over the next two weekends, Henry expects the team to go in and play hard,
and that will be a good way to get more
team bonding in before playoffs start.
The road trip continues in Grande
Prairie on Feb. 6 (2 p.m.) when they
take on the the Storm, before facing the
St. Albert Raiders at 2:30 p.m. the following day.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Bruce

Warrack at the age of 71 years.
Bruce passed away peacefully in his home on
January 27, 2016 with Gwen, his beloved wife
of 52 years by his side, after a brief battle with
cancer. He was a loving father of three sons Jeff
(Christine), Ron (Kelly) and Sonny (Michelle) of
Cheadle and his daughter Jo-Anne Barrett (Mike)
of Calgary. He was grandfather to 16 grandchildren, Russel, Rachel, Erin and Jack Warrack,
Danny (Vanessa) Warrack, Katelyn Haffner (Mike)
and Derek and Jill Warrack, Jake, Meg, Jemma,
and Ray Warrack and Ashley, Amy, Ben and Brooke
Barrett, and a great-grandfather of four, Cash Colpoys, Ella Haffner, and Peyton and Maci Warrack.
They affectionately called him Bobba, Bob,
Papa, or B Duband he cared deeply about each
and every one of them. He took extreme pride in
how he could rattle off everyones birthdays and
he would eagerly engage them in meaningful
conversations at every opportunity. Bruce is also
survived by his sister Linda Farris of Vancouver
and many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was
predeceased by his parents Jack and Edna Warrack and two brothers Robert and Melvin Warrack.
Bruce was born on August 20, 1944 and raised
on his parents farm east of Cheadle, Alberta. He
attended school in Strathmore and at Mount Royal
College in Calgary. In 1963, he married a gal a
few hundred fence posts down the road, Gwen
Jones. Bruce and Gwen were the grandchildren
of pioneers, who all settled their farms in the early
1900s in the Cheadle and Langdon districts and
they were proud to carry on that legacy. In 1966,
Bruce and Gwen started Bruce Farms Ltd which
became their lifes passion and had the privilege of
watching it grow into the strong multi-generational family business it is today.
Bruce was dedicated to his family, and passionate about the land, cattle and things that endure.
He was a great observer of life and people and
he understood many things about nature, and human nature that few learn from books. A respected
businessman and farmer in the community, he impacted everyone he met and inspired people with
his strong character, honesty, wit and wisdom.
He was a quietly generous man, helping many
friends and neighbors, even in the middle of the
night, knowing they could always call on him for
help. He was always willing to listen, offering
his advice and words of encouragement to motivate people to go that extra mile in all things,
which was certainly a value he practiced himself
throughout life.
It is fitting that one of Bruces last wishes was to
be privately cremated with his ashes to be scattered out on the farm that he loved, after the crop
is sown this spring and the land is greening.
At Bruces request, a Just passing through celebration will be held at the
Cheadle Hall on Friday June
10th, 2016 at 4:30pm.
