Strathmore Stampede
a success
ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
It was a weekend full of sun, fun and some
great pro rodeo and chuckwagon action at the
2019 Strathmore Stampede from Aug. 2 to 5.
The fair-weathered weekend brought in thou-
sands of visitors to Strathmore over the long
weekend. According to Ryan Schmidt, general
manager of the Strathmore and District Agri-
cultural Society, attendance was up 25 per cent
over 2018 with an estimated 40,000 patrons
coming through the gates and 26,000 tickets
sold.
“It was a fantastic weekend. We had great at-
tendances, the volunteers were wonderful and
smiling, and the number one thing that we did
hear was how hospitable of a treatment that
attendees got and just how well everybody was
treated,” said Schmidt. “I think all the specta-
tors and attendees had a great time.”
The four days of pro rodeo and chuckwag-
on action paired up well with other Stampede
events including the annual parade, several
barbecue and breakfast events, a tradeshow,
the return of the midway and games, Running
with the Bulls, Running with the Rams, enter-
tainment on the Freeman AV Heritage Stage,
the lip sync contest, live music, lots of food and
beverages, the cowboy cabaret, the RCMP Mu-
sical Ride, fireworks and much more.
Over 400 volunteers volunteered their time
throughout the weekend to help run everything.
“These (volunteers) are all people from
Strathmore and farms around the area so it’s
just a really great way to draw members of the
community together and rally around some-
thing as special as the Strathmore Stampede,”
said Schmidt. “The mood was just ecstatic with
how the weekend was and it was really nice to
see everybody draw together in support of our
community’s biggest event.”
The Strathmore Stampede holds a strong eco-
nomic impact for the community as it brings in
an estimated trickle-down economic benefit of
$1.5 million for the town and businesses. This
year, sponsorship for the Strathmore Stampede
was also up 25 per cent, something the ag so-
ciety said it is appreciative of as it also helps to Adelle Ellis, Veronica Heinen,
create a successful event. Miriam Ostermann & Doug Taylor Photos

Movement of soil investigated
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
During the summer, advertisements
offering free soil or free clean fill can
often be found. It is also the season
the developers get busy. New develop-
ments often remove top soil, build and
then redistribute soil once the build-
ings are completed. Often, they have to
bring in additional soil to finish off the
project.
Wheatland County’s Agricultural Ser-
vice Board (ASB) is questioning wheth-
er there needs to be more scrutiny on
soil coming into the county.
“The movement of soil into Wheat-
land County poses a risk and has drawn
attention to the greater context of soil
movement in our region,” stated Wheat-
land County staff in their report to the
ASB on July 3.

parade overtook downtown on Aug.

The report indicates fungus spores,
such as clubroot, weed infestations and
soil quality deterioration could be the
unhappy consequence of soil brought
into the county from other areas. Sur-
rounding counties have clubroot, but
it has not been reported in Wheatland
County so far. Clubroot causes prema-
ture death of canola plants. The fungus
spreads quickly and results in large
financial losses for farmers, and it is
complicated to eradicate.
Weeds can also have an economic
impact. Staff suggested incoming soil
should be inspected for prohibited and
noxious weeds before they get a chance
to grow and spread to wider areas.
Sometimes landowners will bring fill
in to level out small depressions on
their cropland and officials think it can
affect wetlands by modifying drainage
patterns. There are a few people cited

Random Thoughts
There was a TV show in the ’80s produced by
Steven Spielberg called Amazing Stories. It had a
short run but did have some memorable episodes.
One featured a high school guy who suddenly be-
came magnetic. This character had spent most of
the episode avoiding a girl who had a major crush
on him. That’s not the amazing part… at the end of
this episode, his increasing magnetic powers were
drawing many metal things to him, so that he was
entangled and covered with them. Finally, the very
last thing pulled to his body was (you guessed it)
the girl he was avoiding. It turned out that when
the viewer finally saw her face in full, she had a full
set of metal braces and was pulled into a final lip
lock with our hero.
Years ago, I was in Calgary and I happened to
be looking out a window to see a goofy sight that
always stuck with me. Two maintenance workers
were using a ride-on mower to fertilize the grass
they’d just cut. They’d jury-rigged a small fertilizer
spreader on wheels and had attached it to pull be-
hind the mower. The older guy must’ve been the
boss because he got to sit on the mower. The oth-
er poor sap had to walk alongside the spreader,
carrying the 50-pound fertilizer bag, keeping the
spreader constantly full. Did I mention that it was a
scorching hot day? He’d stagger and try (God love
him), but he couldn’t keep a straight walking line
under that load. Now and then, you could almost
hear the fat boss giving the other guy crap for not
keeping up. I always wondered how the poor guy
would explain his thrown out back to the WCB.
But I guess this story is a great example of senior-
ity at work.
Here’s a little thing I like to do when I’m put on
hold on a phone call to a company or a bank. If
there’s no music and I feel I’ve waited awhile, I like
to pick the worst song I know and play it for them.
This really works when they’ve announced that the
call is being “monitored for quality purposes.”
Any crappy song will do, but my favourites are
Macarena or Barbie Girl.
It’s okay, if you want to pause this column and
listen to the songs, I’ll wait.
OK, you’re back… great! There is nothing like
the sound of a phone person who has just come
back from that kind of hold. “How d’ya like them
apples?”
Like the Amazing Stories episode, I think I also
have a magnetic personality. Now before you ac-
cuse me of bragging, my magnetic power seems to
involve “strange”. For whatever reason, I seem to
be around, or in, some weird events. Case in point:
a few years ago, I was gassing up at the Co-Op on
the 817. A vehicle accident had just happened, and
the police were sorting it out and trying to clear
the intersection. Now, one of my university degrees
is PE, so I know that what I saw was dumb! One
guy in the accident had decided he would drive his
car slowly, turning left through the intersection to
try and park his wreck on the side of the road. He

chose to drive alright, with his driver door open,
one leg out, while he talked on his cell phone! I
was stunned (more so than usual) and wondered
what the cop would do. To me, if you just got in
a fender bender and you and the other car are
crunched, wouldn’t a good idea be to not drive dis-
tracted in front of the cop at the scene?
I never did find out the end result, but this was
definitely a time I actually hoped there was a RCMP
ticket for being dumb. Maybe that driver was on
hold with the Macarena?
Many years ago, I moved to a new English class-
room in the portables of what is now Crowther
Memorial. If I have a spare class, I like to mark or
prepare in my room, and I always lock the door.
It’s not that I don’t like high school kids, but some-
times they want to hang out, and let’s face it, four
classes with teens and then a spare is something
you have to protect. However, every time I un-
locked my door and turned the new knob to lock,
I’d go in and discover that I’d also be locked in the
room. So, I’d have to call the office, get someone
with a key and that person would release me. Fi-
nally, one of my colleagues said, “I’m coming down
with you and you show me what you’re doing.”
We got to the door. I wanted to prove I wasn’t
nuts and that this door knob needed to be fixed.
So, I explained as I unlocked the door: “OK, here’s
what I do. I turn the knob to unlock… then I turn
it again to set it to lock, and I go in and I close the
door.”
I went in and closed the door. Simple, eh? I had
closed the door and locked myself in again! The
teacher pal loudly laughed through the door’s win-
dow as I was once again trapped in my own jail.
At that same school, I had badminton games go-
ing on in Grade 10 PE. When the kids had breaks
in games, I asked them to go up in the gallery area
and watch through the railing. For a laugh, one girl
decided she’d see if her head would fit through the
bars of that railing. It did. However, her head did
not want to return out of the railing as easily as it
went in. She began to panic, and although I was
chuckling, we worked to get her melon out of its
prison. I sent a pal of hers to get some margarine
from the Foods Lab, and we dabbed some on her
ears. OK, it was “slopping” more than “dabbing”…
but in my defense, a lesson needed to be learned.
We tucked in her well-basted ears and after a pro-
longed time (can’t rush these things!), we freed her
head. A crisis averted and the class continued. I’ve
learned that strange and dumb can happen to any-
one, especially me (“your honour, I’d like to offer
the waterbed story as Exhibit A …”) so take that,
Steven Spielberg… Strathmore has its own Amaz-
ing Stories!

Wheatland Deputy Fire Chief
gains prestigious appointment
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Wheatland County’s Deputy Fire
Chief Mac de Beaudrap received a pres-
tigious honour this year.
He was appointed an aide-de-camp
to the Alberta Lt. Governor, the Hon-
ourable Lois E. Mitchell.
An aide-de-camp is a voluntary po-
sition given to various military or civil
officers by the Lieutenant Governor’s
office.
de Beaudrap said there are other
aide-de-camp positions representing
the military and police services in the
province, but this was the first year a
representative for Alberta firefighters
was chosen. The Alberta Fire Commis-
sioner’s office nominated de Beaudrap
and he was given the honour of repre-
senting the service at events pertaining
to the fire services. de Beaudrap has
served in the fire services for 36 years.
“It is a privilege and an honour to
be appointed, not only for myself, but
to be a representative for all the prov-
ince’s fire services. I am surprised and
humbled to be recognized amongst my
peers for this appointment,” said de Be-
audrap.
He considers it a highlight of his ca-
reer and said he was walking on air for
several days after the appointment.
Aide-de-camp duties include giving
protocol advice to hosting organiza-
tions for events, providing an introduc-
tion of the Lt. Governor to the host on
arrival, closely accompanying the Lt.
Governor throughout the function to
offer advice and divert pressing crowds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thanks to the Reds
To the Editor
I would like to take a moment to send
a big thank you to the Strathmore Reds
baseball team, their parents, players and
the Strathmore community for hosting
the Libby, Montana Loggers this July for
a game.
The Loggers and Reds have a long-
standing relationship that originated with
the Reds attending our tournament in Lib-
by for over a decade. The coaches, players
and parents have changed over the years
but the relationship between the teams
has remained the same.
The teams have grown so close that the
Reds alumni travel down every year for
a weekend of alumni games. We sure do
cherish that weekend with those guys and
are already looking forward to taking back
that Border Wars trophy that they took
home this year!
This summer, we travelled north to take

appropriate organization and planning

In May, de Beaudrap was called to
accompany the Lt. Governor to the Al-

the team to the Calgary Stampede and
were delighted to pay back the Reds with
a visit to Strathmore. The Reds were ex-
tremely generous hosts as they treated us
to a wonderful barbecue and social before
the game. Relationships like these that are
built off the field are what makes being in-
volved in youth baseball so rewarding. We
are so thankful for the support the Reds
have shown our community over the years
and look forward to continuing for many
years to come.
From the entire Libby Loggers baseball
family, thank you to everyone involved for
a great weekend. Also, thank you to the
community of Strathmore. I hope you all
know what an asset the Reds are to your
community. Continue to support their or-
ganization in any way you can.

All information found on the internet is not
reliable. Internet “bots” or robots serve a good use
by performing repetitive jobs like indexing a search
engine. But some bots are malicious and can be
used to invade your home computer. Some spread
false information about politics, science and health.
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.
When it comes to health, turn to trusted sources like
your doctor and pharmacist.
“Polypharmacy” is defined as the simultaneous
use of five or more medications. This is an
especially important concept in the elderly where
use of multiple medications can increase the risk
of falls and confusion that may ultimately end
with a hospital admission. Have your medications
checked routinely by your doctor or pharmacist.
Smoking and being overweight are two of the
greatest causes of cancer in Canada. It is estimated
that the number of cancer cases due to excess weight
will triple by the year 2042. Everyone knows that
smoking causes cancer and that message is getting
through because less than 14% of us still smoke.
However, with obesity, the cancer link is harder
to appreciate but it must be heeded to keep cancer
rates down.
Myopia (near-sightedness) is an eye condition
where it is difficult to see distances. One in four
persons in the world are myopic and this number
is expected to increase to one in two by the year
2050. Outdoor sports are protective against myopia
and children should be encouraged to take part in
these sports.

Newcomers run with the
bulls – and win
LAURENCE HEINEN
Times Contributor
A pair of first timers emerged as the
big winners on back-to-back nights of
the 16th annual Running with the Bulls
at the Strathmore Stampede.
After Justin Lindquist impressed the
judges with his daredevil antics on Sat-
urday, Jon Croteau showed he had what
it took to go toe-to-toe with the bulls
the next night. For their efforts, both
rookie runners won $1,000.
“It feels awesome, especially it being
my first time,” said Lindquist, 21, of Ir-
ricana, whose friend urged him to sign
up. “My buddy, he essentially never
stopped hounding me until I did it.”
Like Lindquist, Croteau didn’t just
sign up on a whim. He has his wife Kin-
dra to thank for insisting that he run
with the bulls.
“My wife was like, ‘If you go in there,
you’re going to win it,’” said Croteau,
of Carseland, whose No. 41 on his back
matched his age. “I thought, what have
I got to lose? It’s 1,000 bucks, right? I
thought I’d have a good time.”
And boy, did he ever. Croteau seemed
to be right in the midst of the action
during all three rounds of the bulls be-
ing released into the infield.
“I was pretty close over there,” said
Croteau, pointing towards the various
spots where he came face-to-face with
the wild beasts. “I touched his head be-
cause he was butting at me and flipped
me over and the same thing over there.
He was kind of going after that other
guy. I ran over to try and get his atten-
tion and he came at me and flipped me
over.”
Lindquist also wasn’t afraid to get into

“After the first run, I got into it,” he
said. “I was just out there, taunting them
and getting in front of them. I got back
to the fence and my buddy was like,
‘Dude, everybody’s screaming for you.
People are going nuts. You got this.’ I
was alright, now I have to try and win.”
Although he’ll have some bruises to
show for his run-ins with the livestock,
Lindquist didn’t mind putting his body
on the line in front of thousands of peo-
ple.

Croteau also knew what he was get- 403-934-4880

“One of my friends went in (a couple Targetairspray@gmail.com

who initially balked at his wife’s request
for him to enter. “He had a big bruise,

With his prize money in hand, Cro-

“Take my wife out for dinner,” he said.
“She got me to go in. I’ve got to give her
some payback.”

Rodeo action was fast and furious at this year’s Strathmore Stampede, which featured numerous locals competing.
High scores dominated in final rodeo performance
LAURENCE HEINEN
Times Contributor
Dawson Hay and Clint Laye saved the best for last at
the 2019 Strathmore Stampede rodeo on Monday.
As the final competitors to go in their respective
events, both Hay and Laye emerged as champions in
front of an appreciative crowd.
While Hay had an impressive 90.75-point ride atop
Get Smart to win the saddle bronc competition, Laye
won the bareback event thanks to his 88.75-point per-
formance aboard Stevie Knicks.
As the final saddle bronc rider to compete, Hay gave
fans a performance reminiscent of the ones his father
Rod gave during his many successful years on the ro-
deo circuit.
“It’s a great rodeo,” said the 21-year-old cowboy from
Wildwood, Alta., who won $6,226.56. “I love coming
here. This is one of the rodeos that I always remem-
ber growing up around. My dad would always take us
here every year, so to have success here meant a lot
for sure.”
Knowing he had to beat the score of 86.25 that Ben
Andersen posted earlier during the four-day event, Hay
was happy that he drew Get Smart.
“It was either going to be really good or really bad,”
Hay said. “He’s just amazing every single trip. I knew
that if I made the whistle, I’d probably be pretty good.
That’s not very easy on that one.”
Laye also knew he had his work cut out to beat the
86.75-point ride Ty Breuer posted to lead the bareback
competition heading into the final afternoon of action.

“I was plum tickled when I seen the draw,” said the
25-year-old cowboy from Cadogan, Alta., who took
home $5,730.24 after his thrilling ride atop Stevie
Knicks. “That’s the second time I’ve got to match up
with her. A guy could wait a long time to draw a good
horse like that. So, it’s definitely exciting.
“A bit of a pressure horse, I was a bit nervous today
because there’s a lot on the line when you know it’s in
your hands to win it.”
Like Hay, Laye was pleased to win in Strathmore for
the first time.
“It’s always been a rodeo on my bucket list to win,”
he said. “I remember coming here in the steer riding
in ’05, so I’ve been putting in quite a bit of time here
at Strathmore, quite a few years. This is a big rodeo in
Alberta and it’s just always been a part of my life.”
While Hay and Laye had what it took to win on Mon-
day, none of the competitors in the bull riding event
were able to accomplish the same feat.
That meant Sage Kimzey of Strong City, Okla., Clay-
ton Sellars of Stephenville, Texas, and Trey Benton of
Rock Island, Texas, all tied for top spot and identical
payouts of $5,250.21 thanks to their 88.5 rides atop
Gray Tower III, Whiskey Hand and Tubs Nickle, re-
spectively.
It’s been quite the year so far for Kimzey, who
cashed a cheque for $100,000 for winning the bull rid-
ing event at the Calgary Stampede.
“A lot of practise and a lot of hard work is all I can
say,” said Kimzey, who also won in Strathmore last
year. “It’s all just about how much work you put into it.
Strathmore’s a great rodeo to come to. It’s always fun

to get to come ride up here.”
Also on Monday, Rhen Richard of Roosevelt, Utah,
edged out Didsbury’s Morgan Grant to win the tie-
down roping competition. Richard stopped the clock
in 7.7 seconds to win $6,175.80, while Grant’s time of
7.8 seconds won him $5,661.80.
Team ropers Dawson and Dillon Graham of Wain-
wright, Alta., set the time to beat of 4.9 seconds on
Monday and it held up to earn them a payday of
$3,468.60 each.
Bertina Olafson of Hudson Bay, Sask., posted the
fastest time of 17.383 seconds in the ladies’ barrel rac-
ing event to win $6,636.40, while Evan Spady of Alli-
ance, Atla. stopped the clock in 3.9 seconds to finish as
the top steer wrestler to take home $5,625.90.
On Saturday Jayden Blacker won the novice saddle
bronc event with a ride of 76.5 points atop Unit Doc-
tor.
Blacker, who hails from Windsor, New South Wales,
Australia, originally posted a score of 66.5 points
aboard Twilight Moon but was given a re-ride and took
full advantage of his second chance.
“I didn’t have much time to prepare for the next one,
but I’m glad we got it done,” Blacker said. “I kind of
rushed back to the chutes and got all my buddies to
help me put my saddle on. I knew that horse was go-
ing to be nice. I took it moment-by-moment, I’d say.”
Chett Deitz of Milo, Alta., finished atop the novice
bareback standings with a 71.75-point ride, while Tris-
ten Manning of Yellowhead County, Alta., won the
boys’ steer-riding competition with an impressive ride
of 74.25 points.

Strathmore Thunder girls’
fastpitch softball program
looking to the future
CHRISTINE FOSHAUG
Times Contributor
The Strathmore Thunder girls’ fast-
pitch softball program is winding up
a successful season, and looking for-
ward to the future that includes a spe-
cial two-game event on Aug. 27.
This year, 115 girls played on 10
teams, from U10 to U16, with com-
petitive teams and development teams
in each age group. In Calgary minor
league play, the U16 Thunder competi-
tive team captured gold in the playoffs.
The U16 development team won the
silver medal in the Division 2 playoffs,
along with a silver medal in tourna-
ment play.
The U12 competitive team placed 1st
in Calgary regular season play. Both
U12 development teams won silver
medals in Calgary league playoffs in
their respective 2A and 3A divisions.
Strathmore hosted the girls’ fastpitch
softball provincials July 5-7 for the
U16B and U14B age groups, with 10
teams in each division from across Al-
berta.
The Strathmore U14 just missed the
medal round with a 2-2 record in the
preliminary round, and the U16 end-
ed with a 1-3 record, despite holding
huge leads in two of their preliminary
round games.
The U12 competitive team finished
with a 2-2 record at provincials in Ed-
monton, and the U10 competitive team
made a great run at provincials in Med-
icine Hat where they dropped only the
bronze medal game, finishing 4th in
Alberta.
The Strathmore Thunder fastpitch
softball program began in 2007-08, but
since 2011 the focus has been to serve
both the competitive player and the
development/community player.
“We have had great success in both
levels up to and including provincial
play,” said Lanky Johnson, program ad-
viser/director for the Strathmore Thun-
der. “In provincial play, we have 18
medals accumulated over the years in
both competitive and development lev-
els, plus have medalled at two western
Canadian finals and have participated
in nationals as well.”
On Aug. 27, the Strathmore Thun-
der will be hosting a U19 team from
Hokkaido, Japan for two games at the
Strathmore ag grounds. Sherwood Park
will be hosting another doubleheader.
This will be the second part of the Ja-
pan exchange event, since the first part
was held last year in Japan.
“Softball Alberta will be forming two
Photos Courtesy of Strathmore Thunder
teams to play,” explained Johnson. “The
south team for the games in Strathmore
may have a few local players that have
expressed interest in the tryouts.
“It will be a good opportunity for
our younger players and fans to get
another perspective on how the game
is played,” added Johnson, who had an
opportunity to play against a Japan na-
tional team when she was playing years
back in New Zealand. “It will be excit-
ing as the Japan style of play is very,
very fast. Hopefully we will arrange
some time for our younger players to
take the field with the Japan group for
some practice as well.”
In terms of the outlook for next year,
Johnson said the main goal is to im-
prove Strathmore’s competitive levels
for 2020, since they’ve had a two- to
three-year lull in provincial results and
want to improve on that.
Strathmore’s development participa-
tion is in good shape, noted Johnson,
with a lot of girls learning and having
fun at the same time, which is positive.
Another positive is a number of players
looking to move up a level.
“Overall, we’d like to move ahead a
full step with our off-season training
and coaching to keep the fun aspect
and achieve the positive results back in
our entire program.”

NEWS The Shopping Bus
The Shopping Bus started in the 1970’s with Mr. Peter Ludwig who owned and op-
erated his own bussing company. He was able to secure a grant to aide with the cost
of running a bus from Rosedale to various small communities in Wheatland County.
This bus would pick seniors up from Hussar, Standard, Rockyford and Strathmore and
take them to different shopping malls in and around Calgary on a regular basis and at
an affordable cost. When Mr. Ludwig retired his son and daughter-in-law continued
to provide the service. This service is well received, and the bus was usually full or
nearly full.
In 1981 an executive was formed in Strathmore under the name Wheatland Seniors
Transportation and continued with the same service and The Ludwig’s continued to
provide the bus.
In 2005 a volunteer executive was formed. Each community was allotted seats on
the bus according to population so that everyone had a chance to ride.
In 2006 the Ludwig’s retired and a new bus charter was found. Pegasus charter bus
was from the Hanna area.
In 2013 a Board of Directors was formed who then applied to The Society Act and
received a Certificate of Incorporation in May.
In 2014, due to declining ridership, seniors from Drumheller, who no longer had a
bus service, were invited to also come on the bus. In April of that year a new charter
company had to be found. Another charter company from the Hanna area, Loran
Charters, took on the service. Because the ridership has continued to decline this
service has now been extended to include seniors from Hanna.
The Shopping bus now goes to a different indoor malls in Calgary, as well as Cross
Iron Mills, the 2nd. Tuesday of each month on a rotating basis. It is available for se-
niors 50+ however, seniors 65+ are given preference. These trips enable seniors who
are still mobile to maintain some of their independence by allowing them to shop,
make appointments in the city, meet with family or friends or just provide an oppor-
tunity for an outing. Unfortunately, the bus is not wheelchair accessible, but walkers
may be taken.
The bus is totally run by volunteers and is a non-profit organization. It is dependent
on grants and donations help to keep the fee low enough so that it is affordable by all.
At this time, there are not many taking advantage of this service and we are in danger of
losing it due to both lack of riders and lack of volunteers for the board.

Rosebud wastewater pilot awaits county approval

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Symbiotic EnviroTek completed an algae-based
wastewater treatment pilot project in Rosebud, 2018
to early 2019.
On July 2, 2019, Symbiotic presented the pilot re-
sults to Wheatland County council, and Elizabeth
Huculak, Symbiotic’s vice-president of products and
operations, said council’s response to the presentation
seemed very positive. Now Symbiotic awaits council’s
decision.
Many of the challenges encountered by the pilot
project served to demonstrate the project’s resiliency,
said Huculak. Other challenges gave opportunity for
further problem solving, leading to successful results.
To start with, said Huculak, because of funding de-
lays, the pilot started about four months later than
hoped, so it was operating through December and
January, the coldest months of the year.
The equipment performed very well during an “in-
credible cold winter spell.” They were able to maintain
heat in the system during a power outage. And the
equipment was unaffected by a flood in April.
However, in May or June, they noticed the accumu-
lation of an unexpected substance in the discharge
water.
“Wheatland County had authorized a septic tank
supplement to be added (to the Rosebud wastewa-
ter),” Huculak said. “That supplement was mostly car-
bon and kind of offset the balance of what we were
working with.”
It took time to address that issue.
“We ended up suspending the Rosebud part of the
program in favour of chipping some wastewater from
Gleichen, which was obviously not impacted by that
additive,” she said. “We were able to run another ad-
ditional 11 cycles, to try to confirm what exactly was
going on. And our results for the Gleichen wastewater
were excellent, and as expected. So we then finished
off the additional runs for the Rosebud wastewater us-
ing a prefiltration system.”
That strategy was somewhat effective in dealing
with the impact of the additive, said Huculak.
“The conclusion generally for the pilot was that we
knocked it out of the park, in terms of the regulatory
requirements for the cBODs (carbonaceous biochemi-
cal oxygen demand), TSS (total suspended solids) and
the fecal coliform,” she said. “That was better than any
other system, once we got to near zero on each one of
those (levels), which is what was required.”
Symbiotic wasn’t as pleased about the depletion of
the nitrogen and phosphorus levels, which were de-
pleted to 60 to 80 per cent but not as low as they’d
hoped.
They now believe they have a solution for that prob-
lem too.
“It comes back to dealing with that nutrient balance
at the front end,” Huculak said. “A little more dilu-
tion of wastewater at the front end will assure that
we can get to less than one milligram (mg) per litre,
which is our target. That will also ensure we get to the
biomass yield we’re looking for, which slightly under-
performed where we wanted to be, just because again
there was way more nutrient than could be absorbed
by the algae that was in each cycle.”
When Symbiotic presented results of the pilot to
Wheatland council on July 2, council postponed dis-
cussion and then went on summer break.
“I believe they (council) have a fairly progressive
view of how to incorporate management of the envi-
ronment and building a little more resiliency in terms
of infrastructure,” Huculak said. “They’ve stated those
priorities as part of their strategic plan, so I think it’s
all pretty good. We just need their go-ahead to go.”
Symbiotic hopes to hear from council this month,
with a decision about next steps. Then they’ll submit
the project to Alberta Environment for approval.
“We are ready to move forward with an application
to Alberta Environment,” Huculak said.
Symbiotic has also decommissioned the pilot.
If Symbiotic were to install a full-scale Rosebud
Symbiotic facility, it would likely be on land that the
county has an option to purchase, slightly north of the
Rosebud hamlet.
Two other southern Alberta communities are also
awaiting Alberta Environment’s decision about this
project, she said.
“We’re very confident that the results met all of the
expectations that (Alberta Environment) set out, as far
as a provable facility,” said Huculak. “So it’s really just
a decision-making process right now.”
She emphasized the pilot results haven’t been sub-
mitted to Alberta Environment yet, but Symbiotic’s
data analysis meets all the requirements.
“We don’t anticipate a problem, but it’s not approved
until it’s approved,” she said.
In the meantime, Symbiotic continues to move for-
ward with other aspects of the technology, Huculak
said.
“It’s all about what we can do for Wheatland County
and the rural areas in southern Alberta.”
