The biggest event of the year, the Centennial Gala, is approaching fast. The Gala will be held on Oct. 15, and ticket sales have been extended to Oct. 10, giving people just a few more days to purchase theirs. Town Councillor and centennial committee member Bob Sobol feels there may be misinformation floating around and wants to clear things up. This isnt meant as something that were inviting a whole bunch of politicians or special guests to. Everybody who is attending this is paying for their own ticket, and that includes all visiting politicians and guests, said Sobol. The Lt. Governor and the Master of Ceremonies are two exceptions to this. There will also be just over a dozen seniors attending free of charge thanks to a generous donation. Someone in the community has kindly offered to donate two tables for seniors. This donor has given 16 chairs, and Im in the process right now of communicating with some of senior groups in an effort to have some of the seniors attend as our guests. Sobol said the committee recognizes that attending the Gala at $75 a ticket is not a cheap venture. He said committee members have stated a night out in the city could easily cost close to the same amount and is fairly comparable. We feel were offering so much more for the price. Its going to be a fabulous meal, the entertainment is going to be unique, its an 18 piece band, said Sobol. Theres many surprises that are going to be taking place during the night, there wont be any cost to the participants. I think for the money being spent its a good deal, and I just really hope that everybody who would like to attend really does give us a call and order some tickets. The Gala has always been committed to breaking even and Sobol said it is not something that is being augmented by taxpayers. While there was a centennial celebration fund approved by council earlier this year the total amount approved will not be used. He said it has always been the intention of the committee to break even based on having 300 people attend. Currently the number of tickets sold is closing in on the 200 mark, and though it may be lower than 300, Sobol is confident there will be a lot of last minute ticket purchases.
Strathmores young cowboys compete!

Bull Rider Greyden Eiserman aims to hold on for eight seconds during the Strathmore High School rodeo Oct. 1-2 at the Ag Grounds. Despite their young age, the skill of the competitors at the high school rodeo level is very high, which made for a very exciting weekend. All of the club members had excellent performances. Shane Krywcun ended up winning the Steer Wrestling Buckle. The volunteers did an excellent job putting together a very successful rodeo, said Dan Dowler Strathmore and District High School Rodeo Association President. We would not be able to pull this off without them. It is great to see so many people out to put on a top level rodeo for District 1 High School Rodeo association. Wendi Tashlikowich Photo

There was a little excitement in the air at the Strathmore Civic Center this past weekend as Amanda Bazant held the first Bridal Showcase for upcoming brides in and around the area. Well over one hundred people attended the wellcrafted event, from moms and daughters to engaged couples and girlfriends. Twenty three exhibitors displayed their wares and offerings. Everything that a bride could think about was available to help make their special day everything they wanted it to be, from Herbal Magic to help you lose that little bit of extra weight, to Sew Delicious out of Carseland (a company that focuses on dress making, alterations and cake design). Jewelry home-based businesses like Stella and Dot (Heather Fabris in Strathmore) and Fifth Avenue Jewelry and Lia Sophia had their jewelry there for potential brides to try on. All those who came to the event had their names put into three draws that took
place at 3 p.m. The Grand Prize was a three month lease on a Ford Fiesta from Byron Smith Ford (won by Stacey Groeneveld). There was also a prize of a month of Wedding Coordination courtesy of Studio B Events and a Handy Bride Set courtesy of Home Hardware. Bazant began thinking about the Showcase during a school project she was working on. She graduated from Mount Royal with an Event Management degree. Her instructors at the time thought her idea to be something new and innovative to offer to a community outside of the hustle and bustle of Calgary. So after a year of planning, while she worked full time at ATB Financial in Calgary, this project became a huge reality. One of the many exhibitors, Cody Gregory (a local photographer) has known and has had many opportunities of working with Bazant since high school days. Bazant is awesome and definitely has worked hard to get here, said Gregory. What sets her apart from other event planners is that she is so organized and everything she works on is a
Strathmores Bridal Show on Oct. 2 was a success, and saw many brides to be come through the doors. Amanda Bazant left, with Grand prize winner (of a 3 month lease of a Ford Fiesta from Byron Smith Ford), Stacey Groeneveld and her daughter as well as Rocky Blokland (a Councillor of Strathmore).

well thought out plan. (Bazant) researches everything and keeps up to date with new, current and trendy ideas. She also has an amazing creative flair that you can see showcased here today. Bazant already has plans for next year and would like to not just focus on brides, but to encompass all types of events in the community including anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas parties and corporate events.
She wants to be able to showcase through her exhibitors what Strathmore and area truly has to offer - a rapidly growing community outside of Calgary that thinks outside the box and has some big city ideas with small town charm and professionalism. Any and all information for next years event, especially for those who want to participate please contact Amanda Bazant at Studio B Events in Strathmore.

The Brentwood Elementary School junior choir has recently added a former student as their new piano accompanist. Carly Davidson, now a Grade 10 Strathmore High School student, jumped at the chance when asked by Brentwoods music teacher Carolyn Steeves. I got asked and I always kind of wanted to do it, so I thought it would be an experience, said Davidson. Were really looking forward to Carly doing it. Shes very excited to do it and was thrilled when I asked her, and its going to be a big learning curve because she has never done anything like this before, said Steeves. Davidson has been playing piano for 10 years, seven of which were under Steeves direction. Davidson said she likes all of the classics, especially Bach. She has played her own music but said she hasnt gotten to the point of writing it down. Not only is Davidson gaining valuable experience, she is also getting

work experience credits through school, an option she doesnt think is usually available to Grade 10 students. Every Tuesday she will have rehearsal, and will be playing at all of the junior choir concerts. Davidson also said she is looking forward to when she can play on the Jubilee stage. (Im) so excited, like all those stars who have been on there. I think Im going to be very nervous when the time comes, but now Im just excited, said Davidson. Davidson will be making her debut in November when she will be playing during the Remembrance Day performance at Brentwood School.

Encana, political representatives and interested parties were at the grand opening of the compressed natural gas, CNG, station located just outside of Strathmore on highway 817 on Sept. 28. It was a dream Randy (Eresman) had three or four years ago. He said, you know weve really got to work on natural gas demand; we need to use this energy for North America. I think its the time to do this, said Eric Marsh, Executive Vice-President, Natural Gas and Senior Vice-Presidents of the USA division. Eresman is Encanas President and Chief Executive Officer, and he was personally was unable to attend the opening. Encana is leading by example as we convert our own vehicle fleets to natural gas and help build the necessary infrastructure to support its expanded use as an alternative fuel to gasoline or diesel, said Eresman in a press release. Operating a fleet of vehicles on natural gas is both an economic and environmental advantage for our business, and we are inviting other business operators and consumers to join us in capturing the benefits of this clean, abundant, and more affordable fuel. The natural gas industry currently employs nearly 3.4 million people and every one per cent increase in natural gas production creates up to 35,000 new jobs, Eresman continued.
Encana currently has 39 trucks converted to run on natural gas, which costs approximately $11,000 per vehicle to do. There are CNG stations in Strathmore, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, and Banff. Encana also has plans to build one in Drumheller. Encana has 128 of its approximately 1,400-vehicle North American fleet running on natural gas. Today, there are more than 12 million natural gas vehicles worldwide but less than one per cent of them are in North America. Yet our continent has the most to gain, economically and environmentally, from fueling its vehicles with natural gas, said Marsh. We have estimated 100 year supply of natural gas at current consumption rates, but the resource only counts for 25 per cent of the continents total energy mix. The precedent has already been set in Europe where natural gas figures far more prominently as a transportation fuel, and the technology for natural gas vehicles is proven, reliable, and safe. Beginning in 2012 Encana Natural Gas expects to offer the Strathmore station fueling services to other corporate fleets in the area, and to the public at a later date. Both the CNG and the liquefied natural gas, LNG, a diesel replacement, operate similarly to gasoline-powered vehicles, getting about the same miles per gallon, but at a cheaper cost. It is also safer; in the case of a leak, natural gas will dissipate or evaporate into the air. Natural gas vehicles are also the greenest option; it reduces carbon emissions, emits fewer toxic and carcinogenic pollutants and emits little to no particulate matter.

Everyone wants each birthday to be special, and for one Rockyford resident, her 23rd birthday will be something she will never forget. Dani Gariepy was crowned as one of the Calgary Stampede 2012 princesses on Oct. 2. When my name was called, I was overwhelmed with emotions, so happy, so excited; I had to fight hard to keep the tears in, said Gariepy. I have never felt so thrilled in my life, my adrenalin was pumping. I thought to myself, finally, my hard work has paid off. All I wanted to do was to win and make my family, friends and community proud, and become a leader and role model for other girls. Not only will Gariepy be a part of the Stampedes centennial royal party, she is also one of the first to wear the new crown after the 1996 design was retired. Being one of the first girls to wear the new crown was so exciting, and I felt honoured to be presented with the new crown, said Gariepy. The crowns were locally made by Becker Buckles in Airdrie. They are so beautiful and represent the elegance of the stampede very well. Being a first to wear the new crowns tags along nicely with the other unique aspect of being royalty for the 100th anniversary of the stampede. Gariepy currently is in her third year of nursing at Mount Royal University, MRU. She also plays ringette for MRU and works for residence services. My life was busy before I even ran for Stampede royalty. I might have to make some slight changes to my life right now in order to fulfill the duties of a Stampede princess, but I am willing to do so because this is a once in a life time opportunity and I wouldnt trade it for the world, said Gariepy. The queen and two princesses will be attending training sessions twice a week for eight weeks in order to become orientated to the Stampede family, and to find out everything they have in store for 2012. They will also be attending events in and around Calgary immediately. One of the main reasons Gariepy wanted to take on the role of a Stampede royalty member was to become a role model for other young girls in the community. Being a director of the Rockyford Horse Club and a coordinator for the Rockyford Royalty Contest helped Gariepy to decide to pursue this new role. After mentoring the Royalty program in Rockyford for a few years now, I thought that it was my turn to put myself in the shoes of the girls that put their name forward for Rockyford Royalty, said Gariepy. Now that I have been successful, I am hoping with the skills and confidence I will gain throughout the year, I can give this back to the young girls of the Rockyford program.

Thanksgiving
The native peoples of the Americas held ceremonies and festivals to celebrate the completion and bounty of the harvest long before European explorers and settlers arrived in what is now Canada. Early European thanksgivings were held to give thanks for some special fortune. An early example is the ceremony the explorer Martin Frobisher held in 1578 after he had survived the long journey in his quest to find a northern passage from Europe to Asia. Many thanksgivings were held following noteworthy events during the 18th century. Refugees fleeing the civil war in the United States brought the custom of an annual thanksgiving festival to Canada. From 1879, Thanksgiving Day was held every year but the date varied and there was a special theme each year. The theme was the Blessings of an abundant harvest for many years. However, Queen Victorias golden and diamond jubilees and King Edward VIIs coronation formed the theme in later years. From the end of the First World War until 1930, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day were celebrated on the Monday closest to November 11, the anniversary of the official end of hostilities in World War I. In 1931, Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day and Thanksgiving Day was moved to a Monday in October. Since 1957, Thanksgiving Day has always been held on the second Monday in October. Thanksgiving Day in Canada is linked to the European tradition of harvest festivals. A common image seen at this time of year is a cornucopia, or horn, filled with seasonal fruit and vegetables. This represents the Horn of Plenty, which was a symbol of bounty and plenty in ancient Greece. Turkeys, pumpkins, ears of corn and large displays of food are also used to symbolize Thanksgiving Day.

A day in the maze

The corn maze was busy on Sept. 21 when 280 students from Brentwood elementary School explored the maze. Students had brought in twoonies earlier in the week to help raise money for the Cheadle Lions Food Grains project. The $500 the students raised, works out to $2,500 towards the project, thanks to a deal with the government which sees them add $4 to every dollar donated.

Mayors Message
Mayor Steve Grajczyk Concerns have been raised repeatedly about the water and sewer treatment plant, and I would like to clear things up and ask the residents of Strathmore to please understand and be patient. We were compelled to put it in the new system because Alberta environment told us we had to. It was designed for 30,000 people, which council at the time anticipated the town population would increase accordingly. Because it hasnt, 13,000 people are paying for a system that is affordably sustained by 30,000 people. This cost will eventually be offset, and one way we are trying to do that is by adding the new industrial park. There were also some unknowns in regards to the plant, such as the $4.8 million a year in operational costs for both the water and sewer. Administration has reviewed the numbers and searched for a solution, or a way to decrease those costs and there is nothing we can do at this point. Im open to suggestions, if anyone has any ideas on how to help us out, I would be more than willing to listen to them. As it is, we are working hard to keep costs as minimal as we can. One way to help keep costs down in your own home is to conserve water. Water is golden and is quickly becoming a precious commodity that we can no longer afford to take advantage of. From attending the Bow River Basin Council meetings, I have heard them quote that by 2050 the Bow River will be in serious trouble if there are not water reservoirs put in place. Another way to do your part is to check the plumbing system in your house on a monthly basis. Make sure there are no leaks or constantly running facets. In Strathmore we care, Mayor Steve Grajczyk

Letters to the editor
Election process invites abuse

To the Editor Once again, a surprise candidate has become the new leader of the Progressive Conservatives and thus automatic Premier. Alison Redford, who only garnered 19% of the vote on Sept. 17, is now our new Premier. This could not be called a rogue or abnormal result as this is the third time in a row that the leader in the first ballot has gone down to defeat. Indeed, the process almost encourages such outcomes. Gary Mar received 41% in the first ballot, more than Redford (19%) and Doug Horner (15%) combined. What changed in two weeks? Certainly there wasnt the animosity between the camps that led to the first accidental Premier Ed Stelmach. Even though Redford and Horner supported each other, it took something much more significant for Redford to win. The significant factor was the thousands of new members that the Redford campaign was able to sign up in the two weeks between ballots. It is clear than most of these new signups were five minute Tories. Indeed, it appears that many had affiliations with other parties and most were not of conservative persuasion. By promising to pump back some $107 million dollars in Education funding, Redford was able to attract hundreds, if not thousands, of supporters involved in education. Her stance on health care had similar results. This is the abuse that I am referring to. Election of party leaders is generally confined to party supporters. Although there is always the numbers game in nominations, nothing compares to the process in selecting the P.C. leader. Virtually all credible parties have a time limit in purchasing memberships (the federal Conservatives require three months) in order to be eligible to vote. Not only does this requirement not exist for the provincial Tories, memberships can be sold between ballots, right at the door before voting. This allows candidates, such as Redford, to use taxpayers money to entice anyone of any political stripe to throw down five dollars and cast a ballot. We have a new Premier that would be just as comfortable in the Liberal party someone who has promised massive spending increases a seamless transition from the Stelmach regime that destroyed our debt free status and now is hoping for $100.00 barrel oil in order to maintain the current forecasted shortfall of $1.3 billion in the current year. HERITAGE TRUST FUND WOES The Heritage Trust fund is no longer the legacy that Peter Lougheed created in 1976. The government has not put any revenue in the account since 1987 despite the explosion of revenues in subsequent years. Indeed, this government has spent the interest and dividends generated by the fund (the fund earned $269 million between April and June of this year), thus masking the real operating deficit. The recent stock market downturn will mean a substantial drop in Heritage Fund value, which will have to be reflected in the latest quarterly results ( July September). Although the variances, due to stock market values, have to be expected, the sad bottom line is that this rainy day fund is becoming less valuable because of the spending habits of this government preclude adding to the fund. The Heritage Fund is no longer the powerful instrument that Peter Lougheed envisioned. By not enhancing the fund when revenues exploded in the last decade and in the first years of the current decade, the government destroyed its very purpose. By spending the revenues generated by the fund, even in good times, they made a mockery of the legacy. It appears that every day is a rainy day under the Dome.

Contributions needed for the food bank

Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter The time has come once again to Fill that Bus, an annual event designed to gather food for the food bank. This is the third year for the event and the main goal is to fill the bus full of all sorts of non-perishable items to help those in need. Its very important. Any contributions we can get are greatly appreciated, said Brain Allemang, public relations coordinator for the food bank. The project began through a partnership of three companies; Laurie Shannon and her general manager Gurpreet Uppal are heading things off on the Boston Pizza side of things, Bill Crawford for Chinook Credit Union, and Susan Fowler from First Student Canada. First Student Canada is donating the bus for the day. We want to keep it in the community, and we want to help out the community however we can. We are a small town and people do need it when the tough time hits, its very hard, said Uppal. Last year a snowstorm rolled through early in the day and so the campaign didnt do as well as the previous year. The goal this year is to beat last years numbers, and hopefully even the first years numbers. Allemang said the food bank is looking for things like peanut butter, jam, rice, pasta and snacks for kids for school. The bus will be parked outside the Chinook Credit Union, on Main Street, Oct. 14 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. People are encouraged to help out in any way they can. The food bank helps between 20 to 25 families per week, and relies on the continued support of the community. Boston Pizza will also be holding a spaghetti-eating contest in November to raise money for the Christmas hamper society. Teams are still needed to enter the event, and anyone interested can contact Boston Pizza to find out more.

Looking to lock the vandals out

Concerns with vandalism and litter just off of Range Road 250 between Township Roads 242 and 244 have residents looking to Wheatland County council to approve a solution. There has been a problem with garbage on the road which, other than the people causing the problem, is only used by the residents and oil companies along the road. There are also three pivots and pumps being almost continually vandalized which is creating a problem for everyone, including the county. A request was made to council to put up gates at either end of the road. The county cant give permission to put gates on the road, but there are a number of gated roads in the county.
Water treatment may already be Working The first treatment of SHAC Ponder was put into the Gleichen reservoir last week, and though the water is already doing better it may not necessarily be because of the new product. David Churchill, Manager of Transportation and Infrastructure for Wheatland County, said it could be because of the cooler weather or a number of other factors, and said next fall will be the true indication of how well the new treatment works. SideWalk Work complete The sidewalk work in Gleichen and Rosebud is completed, and residents are happy with the way everything now looks. Some work still needs to be completed on the streets, but it can be put off until spring.
At 1:40 a.m. on March 22 a fire raged through a home at the corner of Briarwood Road and 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 the first, was damaged by the fire.
Lets eat!
Sacred Heart Academy parents, teachers and students were treated to a spaghetti dinner put on by the parent council on Sept. 29. The dinner is held twice a year, and the money raised from the evening goes into a fund to take care of the school grounds, and for school equipment. The dinner has been taking place since the schools inception 10 years ago, and the money from the first seven years helped bring and build the playground and school yard into what it is today.
Childrens choir ready for a new year
The Strathmore Childrens Choir is getting ready to prepare for a new year, with the first rehearsal scheduled for Oct. 6. This is the fourth year for the Childrens Choir and this year there are two choirs. Our Bravo choir consists of kids in Kindergarten and Grade 1, and has 16 members. Our Encore choir has grown a lot since last year, now with a membership of 36 kids grades 2 to 6, said Loralee Laycock, director for the Strathmore Childrens Choir. The choir was started because we wanted to provide an opportunity for kids in the community to come together and sing, outside of the great music programs they already had in their schools. We wanted to teach kids the value of
music, how it can affect them in a positive way, and how important it is to belong to a group that is working together for a common goal. Each year the Childrens Choir performs a Christmas concert, and others in March and May. The Encore choir also competes each year in the Drumheller Music Festival in March. Due to the increased enrollment the Christmas concert will be held at the Hope Community Church this year in their sanctuary on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. The choir may also be singing the national anthem at one of the Bisons hockey games as they did last year, though the date has yet to be confirmed. Registration for the fall season is full, though Laycock said they will happily accept new members starting in January. To find out more information go to www.strathmorechildrenschoir. com.
Canadian Tire, Marks get a facelift

Strathmore Veterinary Clinic
People driving past, or heading into, Canadian Tire in the past month may have noticed it has been undergoing a facelift. The store will have its grand re-opening four-day sale on Oct. 13. Randy Orford took over the store this past January, coming here after owning and operating a store in Toronto for four years. We liked the town, were from B.C. originally, so we wanted to be back out west. There wasnt many communities that have the growth potential that Strathmore has, that was what drew us here for sure, said Orford. Certainly weve been excited about coming in here, and then to redo the store. Were looking forward to kind of showing it off at the of the project. Hockey Hall of Famer Lanny McDonald will be at the store on Oct. 15 signing autographs, and a number of other events will be taking place at the location during the four days. The store has undergone a major facelift inside, which Orford said would make people feel like it has expanded even though they havent actually added square footage. Well have a bunch of stations where customers
can access Canadian Tires website or Google, or whatever they want. It can be used by staff and customers, but our staff will have more opportunity to access information and customer queries, said Orford. He said the idea is to create a better customer experience, something Canadian Tire stores across the country have been working on. Marks Work Warehouse is also undergoing a facelift, which should be done later this week. Were remarketing ourselves, a little bit of a rebranding going on. Were not going to be Marks Work Warehouse any longer, were going to be known as just Marks, said Rebecca Hines, store operator of the Strathmore Marks So its something similar thats been happening with our Calgary locations and we were lucky enough with the renovations at Canadian Tire to have them happen to our location as well. She said the experience itself in the store is going to change, and though they are already customer oriented, it will be taken to a new level. The store carries ladies wear and casual mens wear and while workers are still the main focus, they have a little bit of something for everybody now and want to be able to promote it better.

Did You Know?

Because Canada is north of the United States, its harvest comes earlier in the year? Accordingly, the Thanksgiving holiday falls earlier in Canada than in the United States. The Canadian Parliament set aside November 6 for annual Thanksgiving observances in 1879. In 1957 the date was shifted to an even earlier day, to the second Monday in October.

Fall fair had something for everyone

St michaels and All Angels Anglican Church held their annual Fall Fair at the Strathmore Legion on Sept. 10. Visitors enjoyed face painting, silent auction, crafts sale, local produce and luncheon. The big attraction of the day was the Cake Walk, you paid $0.50 to participate and then played musical chairs around a table filled with delicious cakes. When the music stopped everyone sat in their respective chairs and a number was drawn to see who would win the cake.
Voting for a new premier

members of the PC Party of Alberta held an election Oct. 1 to select a new premier for the province of Alberta. After no candidate received 50 per cent plus one of the votes, the second preference votes were added and Alison Redford was declared the leader, despite the fact that Gary mar received the most votes on the first and second ballots.

Harvest begins for the Cheadle Lions food grains

The combines and balers were seen filling the field at the site of the Cheadle Lions Food Grains project. The Lions harvested their barley fields on Sept. 29. The barley was grown to auction off to help raise funds for the Canadian Food Grains bank, and for local charities. The straw will also be auctioned off, and the corn maze to will silaged soon.

Iron chef comes to Strathmore high school

Strathmore High School, SHS, students had a chance to test their culinary skills while racing the clock during an iron chef competition held in the food studies room. Alberta Communities Choose Well decided they wanted to have a program, that involved youth and older adults, said Lisa Sader with HEAL, Healthy Eating, Active Living. They feel that younger kids need to be cooking more so they thought that an iron chef might be a way of interacting the children with the adults on a collaborative project. She said Alberta Communities suggested organizing an iron-chef style competition and that the secret ingredient must be a local ingredient, so Saskatoon berries were chosen. The four chefs who competed were
Sarah Harward, Abram Weissig, Ashton Payton and Kayla Betts. Each of them also had a SHS staff member help them out. The students all approached Carol Wachsmuth, the Food Studies teacher, about being a part of the competition. They all picked their own recipes and only had to make one part of a meal, whether it was dessert or a main dish. Weissig prepared the winning dish, making pan-seared duck breast with Saskatoon berries, and Marcella wild rice with mascarpone cream cheese and sour cream sauce, topped with Saskatoon chutney. His cooking partner was LaRue Kiemele, an SHS teachers assistant and professional caterer. As the winner, Weissig will be heading to Edmonton on Oct. 15 to take part in the Iron Chef Provincial competition and will have up to $500 paid towards his expenses.

Carseland Public Benefit Club

Carseland publiC benefit Club Since 1912 the Carseland Public Benefit Clubs intention has been to augment programs for those in need as well as provide a service to improve community welfare. As a not-for-profit organization, the PB Club exists solely to promote the health, well being, safety, and education of the general population of the Carseland district. For ninety-nine years the PB Club attempts to fill or enhance any void in needed service areas that relate or affect Carseland and its surrounding population. The PB Club is not facility driven, nor sports or agriculturally focused, but has supported a variety of populations within the larger county area (i.e.: seniors, children, maternity, voluntary associations). Historically the PB Club has been for female members only. However this was more due to the fact that the men were either working the land or serving in the armed forces. The division of labor was so much more distinct back then; females predominantly did stitching and cooking. In 1998, open membership was discussed and it was agreed that any community member was welcome to join. There has yet to be a male member. The Carseland Public Benefit Club does have a broad-based membership of ladies living in and around Carseland township. In April 2012 the Club will celebrate their 100th Anniversary. Because their original undertakings included extensive support to the Red Cross (for example: knitting socks for deployed soldiers, sewing bandages and slings, and maintaining a Prisoner of War Fund) they have chosen a military theme to celebrate their centennial. The Club believes the power of future community success lies within our next generation and, in this theme, has invited the Alberta Army Cadet League to participate in their celebration; showcasing their training, discipline and commitment of youth to building our nation. Feature Decade: 1942-1952 Feature Decade: 1952-1962 Feature Decade Member: Meurice (Mickey) Cool Meurice Irene Kirkland was born and raised in Regina where she attended school and enjoyed playing basketball. When Mickey was a teenager her family moved to Calgary where she graduated from Crescent Heights High School. She enrolled in the Art Program at S.A.I.T. and while there she met her future husband John. In 1953, John and Mickey were married, and the city girl who had never been on a farm settled quickly into the rural way of life. Together they raised the fourth generation of Cools: Geraldine, Lynn, Sandra and Michael. Mickey is a talented artist, avid golfer and curler and enjoys sewing and knitting. However, her greatest passion is her family; she is their biggest cheerleader, and has spent countless hours in the stands attending events over the years. Mickey is a wonderful person, known for her kindness and sense of humour, she is always eager to help friends and neighbours and contribute to the community. Mickey joined the Carseland PB Club in 1956, and is now an Honorary Life Member. For many years the Carseland PB Club was the backbone of the community. Their mission was to enhance the community and provide service where needed. Members were very creative in fundraising by holding bingos, dances, raffles, amateur nights and card parties. They were kept busy catering every community event from baseball tournaments, 4-H Sales and Lions suppers to showers, funerals and auctions. They sent cards and flowers to the sick, hosted the annual Grandmothers Tea, were active in the school and donated money to numerous charities. Other PB Club members during this time were: Agnes Atkinson, Joyce Avramenko, Jeanne Barlow, Chris Burwash, Phoebe Berquist, Francis Bishop, Hazel Blair, Babs Bonitz, Stella Bonitz, Edna Briscoe, Kristina Christensen, Nettie Christensen, Margaret Christensen, Bea Cole, Helen Cole, Mae Dalton, Bernie Dick, Alice Downey, Helen Field, Lillian Filatoff, Maureen Garnett, Stella Gilham, Doris Groves, Mary Hayne, Yvonne Helevang, Bertha Hilliard, Stella Johanson, Marie Kruse, Elva Lausen, Leona Lausen, Agnes Lennox, Alma Lennox, Joanne Mace, Helen MacKenzie, Mickey Malmberg, Helen Melendy, Vera Nelson, Frankie Ostrom, Beryl Page, Dora Page, Grace Phillips, Ivy Podmaroff, Ruth Seamans, Lydia Slater, Mary Slemko, Eleanor Taylor, Carol Thomas, Hilda Way, Irene Wooley and Betty Wyndham. World events from this decade: 1952 King George VI of England died and his daughter Elizabeth was proclaimed Queen of England. 1955 Churchill resigns as PM of Great Britain. 1960 John F. Kennedy is elected President of the United States. PB Club events from this decade: 1950s The Red Cross permit PB Club member Alice Downey to give penicillin injections to the community. 1952 The Club starts a monthly newsletter called Whats The News to keep the community informed. Advertising is sold for $0.25 and an annual subscription is $1.00 including mailing charges. 1958 Membership dues are raised to $1.00.

Terry Fox Runs

Minor gas leak contained
ATCO Gas and the Strathmore Fire Department, SFD, were called to Wildwood Village behind Wal-mart Oct. 3 after a contractor accidently hit a gas line. Residents had been evacuated as a precautionary measure while the problem was assessed. Because it was a minor issue ATCO and the SFD were able to quickly take care of the problem. Westmount elementary School and Trinity Lutheran Christian Academy students met at Kinsmen Park and ran together for the Terry Fox Run.
Zack led the pack for the SHA students this past Friday in Kinsmen Park. The students did laps around Kinsmen park and raised money to help support the Terry Fox cause. This annual event gets the kids excited and teaches them value of working together for a great cause.

Standard students, Rosebud students from the School of the Arts and homeschoolers were diligent in praying for their schools, GHSD, teachers, and classmates. CONVERGE(from Matthew 18:20) is the theme for See You at the Pole 2011, the Annual Global Day of Student Prayer. The event was scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 28, at schools across Canada, the United States and in many other countries. Other nations have launched SYATP movements with their own promotional efforts, including Australia (where it was observed in 2011 on May 26; see stories at www.syatpaustralia.com). This is the 21st anniversary for See You at the Pole, a student-initiated and student-led movement that started in the Ft. Worth suburb of Burleson, Texas, in 1990. SYATP brings students to their school flagpoles to intercede for their leaders, schools, and families, asking God to bring moral and spiritual awakening to their campuses and
countries. Morgan Miller, Christopher Everett, Marissa Dumonceaux, Stephanie Larsen and Emily Hostland, all from Standard School gathered at the flag pole in the yard of the school on Wednesday last week to recognize the international event held in many cities around the World. See You at the Pole, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. See You at the Pole is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. Adults may participate by praying at home and standing at the edge of the organized event. The students do it all! For more information, visit www. syatpcanada.com.

2 Shutouts for Strathmore Spartans Defense

JaMes Giancola Times Jr. Reporter The Strathmore senior football team again played two games this week, the first on Sept. 27 in Airdre. The Spartans were locked in a defensive battle against the Burt Church Chargers with the end score being a 0-0 tie. The Spartans were very strong on defense as the Chargers were inside the ten yard line three different times. It was looking like the Spartan offence was going to be able to put points on the board moving the ball through the air, in backup quarterback James Nakamuras first start of the year. The game was full of strong play from the whole defense throughout. In the second game of the week, the Spartans were at home facing the Canmore Wolverines. It

The Wheatland Warriors AA bantam team opened their 2011-12 campaign with an 11-0 route of the Southwest Rockies Oct. 1 at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Warriors travel to Red Deer on Oct. 8, before host Airdrie the following day at the Family Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. Meanwhile the Wheatland Braves peewee team opened their season with a pair of road wins, 11-4 over Lacombe and 6-4 over Foothills. The Braves will host the Bow Valley Oct. 7 (7:30 p.m.) and Airdrie on Oct. 9 (4:15 p.m.). The Wheatland Chiefs opened their season with a pair of wins over Lethbridge and Sylvan Lake this past weekend.
was another big game for running back Dakota Barrie, running for over 100 yards, and slot back David Kuljanin, making a number of huge catches. Once again, Strathmores defense took over the game forcing four turnovers, two of them interceptions by corner back Mitchel Lund. On the offence, running backs Chris Reed and Dakota Barrie moved the ball down the field all game, resulting in a 10-0 win. The Spartans are now 20 at home for the season. There is one more league game left in Olds against the Spartans, (the Olds team is also called the Spartans), on Oct. 8. The seniors are not the only team with a game Saturday - the Bantams play in Stettler and the Peewees play against the Red Deer Hornets in Red Deer. All three games should be close; hopefully all three teams can come home with a win.
Bisons make a point

Mario Prusina Times Reporter After their first game of the season, UFA Bisons head coach Jeremy Friesen knows that there are a lot of things to work on with his hockey club. That being said, he is very pleased with the teams overall performance in their home opener versus the Lethbridge Pronghorns. Kevin ORourke and Alex Bechtold each scored and goaltender Wilson Sproule made 20 saves, as the Bisons earned a 2-2 draw versus the Pronghorns Oct. 2 at the Strathmore Family Centre. I thought we had some really good opportunities - I thought we saw some good things, said Friesen Our d-zone was not too bad - its fairly new to a lot of the guys and were still adjusting. Our penalty killing was fantastic. All-in-all, for the first game of the year, I think we saw a lot of good things and thats a good starting point. According to Friesen, he was happy with the offence and the way they controlled the puck and the way the defence joined the rush. With that in mind, he felt that there were points in the game where the Bisons dominated the play. I thought we out-chanced them, (but) we need to take advantage of our scoring opportunities, said the coach. We need to make sure that it doesnt come down to one goal in the third period. We had enough opportunities where we should have put them away early. Bisons veteran and newly-appointed captain Mitch McAllister echoed those thoughts. We had great scoring chances - we outplayed them a lot of the game, but we had a couple of mental lapses, said the Chestermere native. In the end, its a 60 minute game and we come out with a point. Our depth is a big part (of our success) - we have a lot of guys who can put the puck in the back of the net. Also we have d-men that can control the backend and our goaltending is solid as well. I cant wait to get the season rolling. Despite the nerves that most of the players felt early on, they were excited to get the season underway. According to ORourke, who notched his first career triple-A midget goal, things started a little rough, but the nerves quickly faded as the game went on. He settled down enough to notch a beauty goal. I saw the puck open on the far boards, so I picked it up. I had a lane, put it on net and luckily it went in, described ORourke of his goal. It felt unbelievable as you can probably tell by the celebration. It was (really) good. The Bisons will now hit the road for a pair of games against North Division opponents. The team will take on the Lloydminster Bobcats and Edmontons J. Ennis Kings on Oct. 8-9 respectively. According to Friesen, its the perfect time to do it. It was a long process to finally get the roster (set) and I think its going to be good just to get them away. Its going to be quite the hike up to Lloydminster, so its going to be good team building-wise to spend time with each other and get to know each other. The more comfortable they are off the ice (with each other), the more comfortable they are on the ice.
The UFA Bisons opened their season with a 2-2 tie versus the Lethbridge Pronghorns Oct. 2 at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Bisons will travel up north for a pair of games this coming weekend.

It may be early in the season, but Wheatland Kings head coach Doug Murphy sees a distinct advantage that his team may have for the new campaign. With veteran netminder Richie Hubbell in the fold, Wheatland added former Fort McMurray tryout Bryce Halverson to the stable, providing the Kings with a solid 1-2 punch in goal. The dynamic goaltending duo, which debuted this past weekend, is putting a smile on Murphys face. Our goaltending is obviously set, beamed Murphy. One of the things that you really have to be cautious of is that you dont end up relying on them (too often, but) we certainly have goaltending that can win games for us even steal games for us. Thats a real good spot to be in As a tandem, I dont think weve seen anything better. In his first game with the Kings, Halverson made 46 saves en route to a 3-2 overtime road win over the Medicine Hat Cubs on Sept. 30. Parker Georgsen scored the game winner, while Ty Goodeagle added a goal and an assist to lead the Kings. Mark Good scored the other goal for the Kings. We got off to a slow start and finally got it going in the third period, said Murphy of the game. We played reasonably well were still trying to find chemistry with different guys, but the guys have more confidence (than before), especially in overtime. And some of (Halversons) saves were ridiculous. Hes 63 and he used every inch of his body to make some of them. The following night, at home against the High River Flyers, the Kings burst out to a 2-0 lead before surrendering four straight goals, en route to a 6-4 loss. It was like two different games in the first period, said Murphy of the home game. The first 10 minutes, the guys were pressuring, forechecking and we had High River closed in their zone and they couldnt do anything. We took advantage of it and went up 2-0. Then (we) stopped playing the system, things fell apart and we had a real mental lapse at the end of the first period (allowing a late goal). We changed goaltenders after the fourth goal, when they went up 4-2. It was no fault to Richie (Hubbell), he had no chance on either the third or fourth goal, but we had to send a message to the other guys that it was time to wake up and not hang the goaltender out to dry. The Kings managed to tie the game with a pair of quick goals in the third period, before High River scored with just 1:12 remaining in the game. They iced it into an empty net with five seconds left to earn the win.
After posting a 3-2 overtime road win the night before in medicine Hat, the Wheatland Kings fell 6-4 to the medicine Hat Cubs Oct. 1 at the Strathmore Family Centre.

Wheatland will now play host to the Cochrane Generals Oct. 8 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre, before traveling to Coaldale Oct. 9 (4 p.m.) to take on the Copperhead. Kings offer scholarship Three lucky players from the Wheatland Kings are eligible to apply for the new Kevin OKeefe Memorial Scholarship, which will be awarded later this month. The scholarship is in honour of Kevin, the father of the Kings first captain, Miles OKeefe. Kevin fought a courageous battle against Lou Gehrigs disease before succumbing to the disease in August 2010. The scholarship will honor Kevins zest for life, dedication to family and friends and his unrelenting spirit throughout his courageous battle. Were just putting the application together for the players, said Murphy. Over the next couple of weeks, the guys will fill out the application. The coaching staff and the OKeefe family will look over the application and talk about who we think is deserving. The awarding of the scholarships will be based on criteria identified by Kevin, which include financial need, integrity, determination and a positive team attitude. The scholarships are available to current Strathmore Wheatland Kings players enrolled in a post-secondary education program, continuing education program or apprenticeship program. Three $1,000 scholarships will be awarded at the beginning of each season, based on a written request submitted by the players. The scholarship will consist of a $500 credit toward the players current years team registration fees and a $500 cheque to be used towards educational expenses. Schooling, travel, accommodations and a players financial need will be taken into consideration in selecting the recipients of the scholarships. The players will be recognized and presented the scholarship by a member of the OKeefe family at a home game sponsored by Animal Care Centre of Strathmore. Contributors to this award currently include the Animal Care Centre of Strathmore, Grove Contract Operating and Murphy Christie Management.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Inez Watts at the age of 90 years. Inez is survived by her daughters, Patty (Jack) Stewart, Bonnie Reddekopp, and Sandy (John) Zwaal; her nine grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Mom is also survived by her two sisters, Joyce (Phil) Grace and Mabel Sadler, as well as her sister-inlaw, Helen Montgomery and her extended family which includes the Stewart, Johnson and Matlock families. Inez was predeceased by her husband of fifty-nine years, Bruce Watts, in 2001 and her eldest daughter, Darlene Nicholls, in 2006. Inez was born and raised in Calgary, but relocated to Strathmore with her daughter in 2005 and most recently resided at the Wheatland Lodge. Mom was always proud of the volunteer work she did at the Sarcee and Boyak Nursing Homes in Calgary. Some of her most cherished memories are the years that she spent with the Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and was most honoured to receive the Mrs. Eagle Award. The family would like to thank Dr. Onwudiwe and all those who took such great care of Mom while she was in the Claresholm and Strathmore Hospitals as well as the staff of the Wheatland Lodge. You are all truly wonderful people. Mom wished to pass these final words on to all her friends and loved ones: Miss me, but let me go When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me I want no tears or gloom filled rooms Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little but not too long, and not with a head bowed low Remember the love that we all once shared Miss me, but let me go For this is a journey that we all must t ake and each must go alone Its all part of the Masters plan, a step on the road to home When you are lonely and sick of heart see family and friends we know Take time to heal, tho we must part Miss me, but let me go. Think of the good times not the troubled ones Be kind to one another A memorial service will be held on Thursday, October 6, 2011 at Strathmore United Church at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the M.S. Society of Canada (150, 110 Quarry Park Blvd., Calgary, A.B., T2C 3G3), the Canadian Cancer Society (#200, 325 Manning Road N.E., Calgary, A.B., T2E 2P5) or the Heart and Stroke Foundation (#100, 119 14th St. N.W., Calgary, A.B., T2N 1Z6).

The Spartan JV Girls Volleyball team hosted their annual tournament this past weekend. With some of the top teams in the zone attending there was some amazing volleyball to watch. Strathmore beat Chestermere, Canmore, Acme and Burt Church in the round robin, going undefeated. We needed our top players to perform and they did, said Jerry Flaws. The girls played well and with their work habits it will only get better. In the Semi-finals the Spartans came against Brooks, who are always in the running for the zone championship. The Spartans were able to win the close match (24-26, 25-22, 15-13). The Spartans then played the Chestermere Lakers in the final again. This was a rematch from the tournament a couple of weeks ago at Holy Cross. Unfortunately the Spartans could not muster up enough energy to win their home tournament. They captured the silver medal and are off to a great start to the season.
