Helping those in need keep warm
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Some families may hit a hardship,
whether it is a fire, or a job loss, which
could cause them to end up homeless.
Inn from the Cold, in Calgary, is an
emergency shelter that is there to help
those families.
“What we’re uniquely known for, is
that we provide shelters for families,”
said Michelle Widmeyer, an employee
with Inn from the Cold.
“Our shelter opens up their doors for
any family that is without a home, that’s
out on the streets or trying to make a
fresh start, and they come to Inn from
the Cold for a new beginning,”
Widmeyer was in Strathmore on

Daffodil Days are here again
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Flowers are a great accent to every
home, and buying them to support a
good cause makes them even better.
Since 1957, volunteers have taken
to the streets to sell daffodils to raise
money for the Canadian Cancer Society,
and 19 years ago the tradition came to
Strathmore.
“Lady Eaton threw a daffodil tea in
Toronto years and years ago. It was a
real success, and so we’ve just been
doing it ever since,” said Carol Curry,
Strathmore Daffodil Days coordinator.
“She did it for cancer and it just caught
on. It’s been happening ever since.”
Daffodil Days officially began in 1954,
when daffodils were used to decorate

made and were donating.
“This is our fourth year making quilts
for Inn from the Cold,” said Trudy Cros-
by, teacher of the 2C class.
“I think they are just excited about
the idea of giving to somebody in need
and helping out in their own way.”
The project saw the kids bring in
old jeans, or any material they had, to
create quilts. Crosby’s mother was the
seamstress for the project, which took
about three weeks. There were five
quilts made and the kids wrote a prayer
that meant something to them on the
quilts.
Widmeyer explained to the class that
one of her jobs is to go to different
schools and explain what the shelter is,
and what they do. She also explained to
the kids how their donation would help
out the families using the shelter. She
the tables at a tea hosted by Lady Eaton
in the Eaton’s store in downtown Toron-
to. The tea was to help raise money for
the Canadian Cancer Society, and due to
its popularity Toronto created an official
annual Daffodil Day.
On Daffodil Day some restaurants
would donate part of their receipts to
the society and give patrons a daffodil
in a token of their appreciation. The
appearance of daffodils would cre-
ate excitement among the public, and
when restaurant patrons offered to pay
for their flowers, society volunteers re-
alized they could raise funds by selling
them.
Daffodil Day eventually became Daf-
fodil Days, which the society volunteers
would use as a way to kick off Cancer
Awareness Month. It came to Alberta in

In late 2010, the Town of Strathmore commissioned the new Wastewater
Treatment Plant. This plant is a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) plant which
was needed to meet/exceed the higher standards required by Alberta Environ-
ment in the Town’s Wastewater Approval, as well as to increase the Town’s
wastewater treatment capacity. As a result of the changes to the wastewater
treatment plant, Operational costs have increased in the plant, as well as a
result of new processes resulting from the new plant. One of the more signifi-
cant changes as a result of the new plant is the production of biosolids – thick-
ened waste collected as part of the treatment process. Biosolids then need to
be disposed of either through landfill, composting or otherwise, and disposal
methods/costs of biosolids have proven to be a challenge. As a result of these
changes, it was necessary for the Town to increase sewer rates in 2011.
The increased costs associated with the new plant resulted in a budget
deficit of approximately $1.15M. With a movement to focus on variable costs,
as opposed to fixed costs in Utility pricing, the decision was made to increase
variable sewer rates to recover the difference as follows:
2011 Deficit (estimated) $1,150,000
Annual Billed Water Volume (approx.) 1,100,000 m3
2010 Variable Sewer Rate $.63/m3
Required Rate increase per m3 $.97/m3 (154% increase)
2011 Total Variable Sewer Rate $1.60/m3

Fighting to save residential irrigation
To the Editor
Have you ever wondered why Strathmore was
built here? There is no river - not even a creek. The
railroad built the town here because the irrigation
system made water available. Now, for our 100th An-
niversary, the town fathers want to sever that tie.
Last spring the town gave residential irrigation
(RI) users an unpalatable choice - either give the
Town a non-refundable cheque for approximately
three times the cost of previous years RI, with no
promise of service, or lose the service altogether. De-
spite this high-handed demand, over 100 subscrib-
ers paid their money, proving that many residents
think RI is a valuable resource. When not enough
money was raised, the town felt justified in refusing
to turn the system on. Instead they appointed a citi-
zens’ committee with the intent of getting a rubber
stamp from the committee to discontinue the service
permanently. The town was surprised the committee
wanted to meet more than once.
After almost a year of research, this committee has
brought a viable and affordable plan to town ad-
ministrators to keep the RI system available to those
parts of town plumbed for it. Equally important, the
system would be available to water the town’s parks,
which make up in area approximately the same acre-
age as the individual users.
RI is a benefit to all citizens. It uses untreated wa-
New irrigation district declaration

Caresland Break and Enter
On Feb. 26, at 4:23 a.m., Strathmore RCMP members re-

dark coloured Ford 3/4 ton truck was seen cruising a rural

That same day, at 4:30 a.m., Strathmore RCMP responded
to a Break and Enter in progress at a Caresland business.
RCMP members spoke with the business owner who was on
scene, and learned that two suspects had driven a truck into
the front windows of the business. The suspects were dis-

fled in two dark coloured Ford F-Series trucks. The business

Langdon’s Matt Tanner and Dewinton’s Janette Bamford both received
a UFA 4-H Alumni Service Award for the great work they have contin-
ued to do within their community. Carmen Stone, Alberta 4-H (l); Matt
Tanner; Janette Bamford; Caley Wallace, UFA.
4-H recognizes local alumni
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Langdon resident Matt
Tanner has been involved
with 4-H for almost as long
as he can remember. He
started with the Bow Val-
ley 4-H club in the late 80’s
and decided to stay with it.
While growing up, Tanner
continued to volunteer his
time before his kids were
born. Lately he has found
himself helping out once
again now that his kids are
members.
“I think it’s something
most rural kids get involved
with,” said Tanner.
On March 16, Tanner was
recognized by UFA and Al-
berta 4-H for his noteworthy
contributions to the commu-
nity.
“Matt was chosen by UFA,
as he has returned to his
community after post sec-
ondary education, he con-
tinues to farm, be involved
in 4-H as a leader, and con-
tinues to volunteer with the
Bow Valley Ag Society,” said
Jessica Barrie, Marketing
Communication Specialist
for UFA.
“He has a young family,
and his involvement in the
community provides an ex-
cellent role model and lead-
er for future generations.”
Every year the UFA 4-H
Alumni Service Award rec-
ognizes people who have

and advancement. They also
recognize those who dem-
onstrate leadership through
volunteer work. All 4-H
alumni recipients must be
between the ages of 20 and
35, have pursued post-sec-
ondary education, have re-
turned and stayed commit-
ted to their rural routes and
have been a 4-H volunteer
for at least two years.
Tanner credits 4-H for
helping him overcome his
shyness, while giving him
skills he can use everyday
on the farm.
“It taught me how to take
care of animals, how to feed
them properly and how to
manage money,” said Tan-
ner.
“Public speaking was one
of the biggest skills I prob-
ably got out of it.”
In his day 4-H was a beef
club, but these days there
are a variety of projects for
the kids, from sewing to
photography.
“I think there’s not as
many farmers anymore, so
there’s less kids that are do-
ing agriculture,” said Tanner.
“I think by opening up
other avenues to get in-
volved with it, it’s still keep-
ing kids in touch with the
rural side of things.”
Tanner said he would rec-
ommend 4-H to anyone in-
terested. In addition to his
UFA 4-H Alumni Service
Award, Tanner received a
gift certificate for $2,000 for
UFA.

A triathlon for the whole family
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Have you ever wanted to run
a triathlon but they seem too
daunting, the distance too long?
Or maybe you wanted to bring
the kids out, but it’s an adult
event? One Strathmore woman
has questioned why Strath-
more hasn’t had a triatholon the
whole family could participate.
This year marks the inaugural
year for the Tri-Smore, Strath-
more’s new triathlon.
“We want anybody to be able
to do this. The three-year-old
who can swim a length in their
life jacket and hop on training
wheels are more than welcome
to participate,” said Niki John-
son, organizer.
There are four
different dis-
tances in the Tri-
Smore; the full
Smore which is
sprint distance,
equaling a 500
metre swim, a 20k bike and a 5
kilometre run. The half Smore is
half the distance of the full, the
quarter Smore is half the dis-
tance of the half Smore, and the
Two Bit Smore, which is for kids
eight-years-old and younger.
She said her kids have so
much fun when they go with
her and feel so good about it
when they are done. She said as
a mother it’s one of her driving
forces behind it.

Two Bits will also get medals.
Johnson said there will be more
items in the race packages, and
door prizes for all participants.
There will also be a couple of
exclusive prizes the volunteers
will be entered into a draw for.
“It’s meant to be fun. We’re
celebrating participation and in
just a really non-threatening, fun
race environment. Some people
come and they compete in these
things as practice for their big-
ger races, and people are really
serious about it,” said Johnson.
“But some people are happy
just to finish, and we’re just try-
ing to promote people just get-
ting active. Truly
that’s where the
winning comes,
is just in partici-
pating.”
Johnson said
she has a really
good committee
of about 10 people but they still
need volunteers to count laps,
or stand at turnarounds or wa-
ter stations, and help serve the
food. Potential volunteers can
go to the website to email the
volunteer coordinator, who will
want their names and ages. The
only reason the coordinator
would like to know a persons
age is to make sure they don’t
put a teenage volunteer where
an adult should be.

participating together, because
there is an opportunity for the
children to be active, and it’s a
great opportunity for the par-
ents to be an example in active
living,” said Johnson.
There won’t be any training
clinics this year, though there is
potential for them in the future.
“I would just start training, get
in the pool and see how long
it takes you to swim 10 or 20
lengths. Just start doing it, it’s
still three months away, you can
work up to that point by then,”
said Johnson.
People can use any bike they
want but there will be a bike
check to make sure the bikes
are safe. She said it is the same
for the kids; if the child only
knows how to use a tricycle,
they can. Training wheels are
also allowed. Parents are also
allowed to help the kids in tran-
sition. There will be water sta-
tions, and emergency personal
will be available for safety rea-
sons.
Johnson said they would like
to see about 500 people sign up,
but she said if they get 550, they
would allow that too.
The run takes place June 25,
and people can register online
at www.tri-smore.com, until
June 1. Johnson said if someone
decides last minute to partici-
pate, they would still take him
or her. Registration fees for Two
Bits’ are $15, youth are $20, and
adults are $60. People can also
register as a team.

Local parents proud to have
a doctor in the family
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Strathmore Home Hardware own-
ers Perry and Cindy Banadyga are well
known in the community, but many peo-
ple may not have met their son Logan.
“When we moved here 10 years ago,
he went straight up to Edmonton to
school,” said Perry.
Logan just recently finished his PhD
in virology at the University of Alberta,
U of A.
“I think for me that was the way to do
it, because it kept the momentum go-
ing,” said Logan.
“I think it might have been a little bit
tough taking a break from, say under-
grad, and then going back to school for
another five, five and half years.”
“It’s a long time, but this was kind of
something he wanted to do right from
the get go. He didn’t waver too much
from what he wanted to do from the
minute he started University,” said Perry.
Logan studied poxviruses for five and
a half years and did his undergraduate
degree in a program called immunology
and infection.
“I’ve been most interested in viruses
since, almost day one,” said Logan.
He left high school knowing he was
going to the U of A, and that he wanted
an undergraduate degree in microbiol-
ogy. While sitting in his biology class at
the end of his first year in undergrad
studies Logan’s professor said his wife,
also a professor, was starting a new pro-
gram called immunology and infection.
“I knew right then that that was exact-
ly what I was looking for. Because that

was the kind of stuff I wanted to get out
of my microbiology degree,” said Logan.
“I think I ended up where I am right
now, because I took a bunch of little
steps that were always in sort of the
general direction I wanted to go. I don’t
think I could have predicted this was
where I was going to be 10 years ago.”
Logan lived at home until he was
done high school before heading out
to Edmonton. He said it was daunting
to move away from home to a big city.
He said living in residence helped make
the transition easier, because many of
the people staying there were also just
moving out of home. He said walking
into residence was like making 15 new
friends instantly. By moving to Edmon-
ton and going to school there, it also
allowed him an opportunity to break
out of his comfort zone and meet new
people.
“I knew that I wanted to meet new
people and do new things. I knew that,
that would be easier to do if I was in a
place where there was a bunch of new
people and new things,” said Logan.
He said it was a tough decision be-
cause he had a scholarship for the Uni-
versity of Regina, which would have
essentially covered four years of tuition
and his books and living expenses. He
said by the time he knew he was getting
the scholarship; he had already chosen
his program at the U of A.
“Even though he’s gone to school for
10 years, it hasn’t cost us hardly any-
thing. I can honestly say we haven’t
spent $2,000 to help him out in school,”
said Perry.

Briarwood Crescent in Strathmore. Four neighbouring homes were evacuated for the safety of
the occupants due to the severity of the fire and wind direction. The occupants of the residence
where the fire started were not home at the time. A second residence next to hunt
aged by the fire.

Fire Chief Richard Clarke
Since lighting affects colour, it stands to reason that colour changes
thanked everyone for coming
under varying lighting situations. This can create havoc when choos-
out and supporting the associa- ing paint or wallcovering because a colour appears one way in the
tion and was looking forward to store and another way in the room.
a great year. While in the store, check paint chips and wallcovering samples in
daylight as well as under artificial lighting. Store lighting can differ
greatly from home lighting.
Take home no more than three different colour and wallcovering
samples. Fewer alternatives make the final colour decision easier.
It’s helpful to tape four paint chips together because larger colour
samples are easier to judge. Cut off white borders, which can be
distracting.
50%
If you think the paint chips are correct, buy a quart of paint in this
colour. Paint a large sample card to hang on the wall. Then cut a large
sample of coordinating wallcovering or borrow the sample book to
take home.
off
Judge samples of paint and wallcovering in the room where they
will be used. Stand the samples upright to duplicate the way light
strikes a wall surface. Tape or prop wallcovering samples on the walls
where they will be hung.
Check your samples from time to time over the course of a 24-hour
day. Notice how the colour changes under varying lighting situations.
If a room is most often used at a particular time of day, look at the
colour carefully at this time.
Indoor lighting will vary from natural daylight, which has a blue cast
at midday and a warm orange tint at sunrise and sunset. Furniture,
woodwork and floors reflect their own colours onto the walls.
All these factors will affect the appearance of colour.

The Wheatland Chiefs could not overcome a sluggish start to Game 2, losing 5-3 on home ice to the
Foothills Bisons March. 29. The series was all tied up heading to Vulcan for a pair of games on March
30-31. Results were not available as of press time.
Chiefs look to rebound after loss
Mario Prusina
Times Editor
By the time you read this, the SCAHL Midget Cham-
pionship may be crowned.
However, as of press time, the best-of-five champi-
onship series was tied 1-1, after the Wheatland Chiefs
suffered a 5-3 home loss in Game 2 on March 29 versus
the Foothills Bisons.
As a result, the Chiefs lost home-ice advantage and
are now forced to win at least one game on the road if
they expect to be crowned the league champions.
“We were just selfish – too many selfish players. We
weren’t working as a team right from puck drop,” said
Chiefs bench boss Devon Olson after the loss. “Guys
were trying to do it themselves and it doesn’t work
that way.
“Everyone has to show up and play as a team. When
we roll four lines, that’s when we win. When you have

to cut down to two lines, it’s tough.”
After the Chiefs won Game 1 exactly one week be-
fore, the series was put on hold to accommodate the
Bisons quest for a provincial title this past weekend.
However, when the series resumed, the Bisons looked
like the more rested team, bursting out to a 3-0 lead.
Zach Wittenburg cut the deficit to 3-1 late in the second
period, before the Chiefs dominated the third period.
Justin Fraser and Rylan Muenchrath scored to tie the
game, but the Bisons scored a powerplay goal with
2:08 left to take the lead.
“At the end of the game there, (with) two minutes
left, they score and we take a stupid penalty,” said Ol-
son. “We still had a chance … we still had a lot of time
and we took a stupid penalty and another one right
after that.
“That was the big thing tonight, we had all the mo-
mentum and (we gave it away).”
With the series shifting to Vulcan for Games 3 & 4,
All Roads
i www.byronsmithford.com
the Chiefs were confident that they could get back on
track and pull out at least one win.
“If we respond like we did in the first series after a
loss, I think we’re okay,” said the coach. “The way we
were hitting them in the third and them playing last
weekend, that might help us in the long run.
“I think it’s more of an advantage for us (playing on
a smaller rink in Vulcan). They have smaller forwards
and they had a lot of room (in Game 2). They took it to
us because we were standing still.
“Those small guys are quick, so getting into their
smaller barn, maybe we can shut them down a bit. We
have to play our game – come out and hit.”
If the two teams split the pair of games in Vulcan,
the fifth and decisive game will be played April 2 (6:30
p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre.

SHS badminton
season underway
Jenna Campbell
Times Junior Reporter
Strathmore High School held its first badmin-
ton tournament of the year this past Saturday,
March 26. The early day began at eight in the
morning with games being played continuously
along Brent Boulevard ranging from the SHS
and Crowther Memorial Junior High to Wheat-
land Elementary School.
This year’s SHS badminton team is young
and improving, according to head coach Ken-

bronze medal went to Kaitlyn Dougan in Junior

went to Shaina Kuhn and Max Mckinnon in In-
termediate Mixed Doubles and to Kirby Ruz-

Doubles.
For what is to be expected from the team at
the end of the season, Zandee said that pro-
vincials seem pretty far away, seeing that, for
example, only first place teams in Doubles and
Mixed Doubles will get to advance onto pro-
vincials.
“To be honest, I’ve been surprised by a few
players, that even in singles - they might ad-
vance on to provincials,” he said. “It’s tough to
say because we don’t see a lot of our zone com-
petition until we get to zones because some of
them do not participate in the tournaments.”

said Dunlop.
“It was very, very evenly
matched. There was one 7-2

tween all of the teams, not just

The Rockyford Ringers didn’t
do as well as they had hoped
either. In the round robin, they
won one, lost one and tied one,
which gave them a chance to
play a mini-game. The mini-
game lasted for 10 minutes, and
was to determine which team

Dunlop said his team was as
prepared as they could be to
take part in the championships,
and they had a great season.
“At the start of the year we
lost our goalie to AA in Cal-

picked up a goalie that hadn’t
played for awhile,” said Dunlop.
“But we got together and got
a team together and that’s what
counted. Everyone gelled and
we gelled at the right time. We
just didn’t get the ring bounces

He said every year of coach-
ing is different, and this was as
good as any. He said they were
a great group of girls, who got
along well and played together
well as a team.

Final champions.
While the team struggled to find wins dur-
ing the regular season, the players committed
to working hard, improving their skills and hav-
ing fun. The team also set a goal of going un-
defeated for their final five games of the year,
and managed to go 4-0-1, including going 3-0 in
the tournament of Champions. During that time
they out scored their opponents 39-19.
Game 1 of the tournament saw the Storm come
out with all guns blazing, defeating the Lake
Bonavista Breakers 10-0. Goal scores were: Josh
Pilsner (3), Bryce Wenstrom (3), Luke Sevcik (2)
and Adam Smith (2). Ryan Lausen earned the
team’s first shutout of the season.
The next opponent for the Storm was the
Shaw Meadows Hustle, who pushed our play-
ers to be their best. The team was led by Ryan
Lausen’s hat trick, while Wenstrom and Sevcik
continued to the find the back of the net as
well. In net, Adam Smith was spectacular, ensur-

ryn Johnson were exceptional on defense with
smart plays in shutting down any opportunities
the Hustle had to even the score.
The Strathmore Storm Novice Tier 5B team capped off the

proved to be over matched by the determina-

ers to end their season as champions and com-
plete their goal of going undefeated to end the
season. Wenstrom, Lausen and Pilsner each con-
tributed two goals to secure the win. More im-
portantly, the efforts of Zach Hodder and Kaia

Female Storm bring home the banner
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The Peewee Storm female hockey team played
in their final games of playoffs over this past
week. This year was the first time the Peewee
girls have won the banner for the Rocky Moun-
tain Female Hockey League.
“It’s great to see the start of a new female gen-
eration of hockey players on such a good start,”
said Fern Pagenkopf, female director for Strath-
more Minor Hockey, SMH.
The girls lost game one 3-1 to Innisfail, and
won the second game 3-1, forcing a final game
between the two teams.
“We ended up beating them 5-4 in overtime in
a shoot-out…to win the banner,” said Mike Corbi-
ell, Coach of the Storm team.
“Tarri Jessey got the winning shoot out goal
and Breanna Schumann, our goalie, stoned them
in the shoot out. It was so exciting,” said Crystal
Stevens.
Five of the 15 skaters were Atom level players
and, for another three of them it was their first
year playing hockey.
“There was a lot of learning they did all year
long, and they were a real committed bunch of
girls that just kind of stuck with it,” said Corbiell.
“Even when we were down 4-2 in the final

game they kept with it and finally tied it up to
force overtime.”
This was Corbiell’s first year teaching the girls
team, though he has been a hockey coach for a
few years. Corbiell said the girls taught him a lot
this year, and said other than no body checking
in Peewee female, there wasn’t much difference
between coaching boys versus girls.
“They’re a real good bunch of kids. The girls
are real intent on listening and learning, so a lot
of fun to coach from that perspective,” said Cor-
biell.
“These girls really kind of gelled together, they
really seemed to get the whole team. We did a lot
of team building activities throughout the year.”

is holding a Level One and Two umpire clinic at Brentwood
Elementary School. Level One is for beginners and level two is
needed for umpires wanting ump provincial baseball.
“Normally what they like to do is, if you’re umping Mos-
quito they like you to have umped one level above that,” said
Gary Michielsen, organizer and umpire with Strathmore Mi-
nor Ball.
“You have to take the clinic every year, a clinic, whether
it’s level one or level two. You’re supposed to have level one
before you go to level two, and level two before you go to
level three.”
This is the first year for the clinic in Strathmore, though
Michielsen said he tried to host one last year. Joe MacLean
is the Umpire Director for this zone and is the instructor for
the weekend. In level one there is an open book exam plus
practical stuff. Level two is a closed book exam and learning
that I have ever had to eject from a game,” said Michielsen.
The coach had been belligerent, swearing in front of the
little kids and the other umpire.
An umpire can’t ask a parent to leave, but he or she can ask
the coach or organizer of the game to ask the parent to calm
down. Michielsen said the only other option would be phon-
ing the RCMP if the parent didn’t stop or leave, though he has
not had to resort that in his umpiring career.
Michielsen has been with Strathmore Minor Ball for four
years, and this year he took over scheduling umpires in the
area.
“With the local guys, I try to book them as many games as
they can possibly make,” said Michielsen.
“Just so they get the experience and then hopefully they get
interested. Plus they make a little spending money. It keeps
them interested.”
