Finding a way to help patients suf-
fering from dementia, aggression or a
disability that wont calm down can be
tough on both the staff and patient, es-
pecially if sedation is required. An alter-
native method is always being sought
out and at the Strathmore Hospital on
July 27 an alternative method arrived
that is already making an impact.
A sensory stimulation cart has been
purchased from Dakota Comforts and
Designs by the hospital foundation.
It calms dementia. It creates a sooth-
ing environment, it gives them some-
thing to focus on and its quite relaxing,
said Gwen Cyr, activity convener for long
term care at the Strathmore hospital.
It started off with I just wanted to get
a few little things to do an activity with
and the more we researched it, the more
we discovered about the benefts. We
found this online and thought that it was
maybe the most ideal.
The cart has a bubble tube flled with
water and fsh and it lights up with four
different colours. There are also fbre op-
tic cables attached to it that light up. The
weight of the cables are meant to be a
comfort, they are also fairly indestructi-
ble. There is no electricity going through
them, which makes them harmless if bit-
ten or chewed on.
There is a projector on with a number
of videos, of fowers, and stars and even
an electric animated musical one.
(If) the families have pictures on
DVDs or anything we can project them
on their (the residents) walls for them,
said Cyr.
Usually in the afternoons I dim the
lights down on the unit for an hour and
I have put on a movie or stars or some-
thing and just calm the environment
down.
At times the cart will also be left out
in the main sitting area and as residents,
and even staff, walk by they will stop
and look at it. Individual therapies can
also be done in residents rooms, which
is one reason why the hospital went with
the cart option.

Its good for the ones that dont get
any other therapies, that dont leave
their rooms, it gives them something to
focus on for an hour or two, said Cyr.
Cyr said a Two Hills senior care facil-
ity and Carewest in Calgary also use
a cart. She is not sure which other se-
niors facility uses one.
Ron Forrest from Calgary began cre-
ating the sensory rooms and carts 12

Is your renewal today?
The insurance companies try
to get their offer to renew policy
documents to you 30-45 days prior
to renewal, to allow you time to
make any arrangements necessary
to the policy. (dont forget, mistakes
can be made, so it is important to
review these documents and make
sure the vehicles, coverage, use
and listed drivers are current and
up to date) At this time you can
make arrangements on how you
would like to pay for the upcoming
policy as well.
If you are looking for quotes for
your policy, you need to get this
done ahead of time. Your insurance
policy will expire at 11:59 pm, the
night before your renewal.
Now, it should be fair to warn
you that most insurance policies
are set to renew automatically, so
this usually is a non-issue. The
insurance company assumes you
want to keep that policy, and it can
only be cancelled with a signed
letter, or they will cancel you for
non-pay. I see this a lot too. If
you choose to switch insurance

companies on renewal, you need to let the old one know,
or you could be cancelled for non-pay, and owe money
from the time the policy renewed, to the time your policy
is cancelled! It can get pretty messy.
When you walk in on the day of your renewal and
would like a quote on your policy, with the intention to
switch companies then technically, you are uninsured on
that day, until you get the new policy in place!!!!
If you have any questions about this, call or email
your broker today!

place. A woman came with her child
who had not given her a moments
peace in weeks. She placed him in the
chair and he relaxed almost instantly
and it calmed him right down, said
Forrest. The woman wanted the chair
but the people making them at the
time had decided they werent going to
do them anymore. Forrest said it was
decided right then and there that he
would keep making them.
His frst business trip to Strathmore
was to create a sensory room for West-
mount School.
Its mainly being used for small
children with learning disabilities and
schools and that sort of thing. Its of-
fering individuals a different environ-
ment. What we have found is what
works for the kids also works for the
adults and it also works for the senior
citizens in terms of the dementia pa-
tients and that sort of thing, said For-
rest.
It distracts them from the normal
everyday noises and things that act
confusing and gives them something
else to react to.
Forrest said Two Hills has had a cart
going on almost four years, they have
even made the bathrooms into sensory
bathrooms, changing the lights and the
walls are painted or a window painting
on the walls.
Cyr said the hospital plans to host
an information session in October
for Sagewood and other neighbour-
ing counties and facilities. The session
will outline how well it is working for
Strathmore and Forrest will come out
and provide a more in depth lesson on
how the cart, and sensory stimulation
equipment works.

On Aug. 17 and 18 the Gleichen Fall
Fair will delight crowds from around
the area for the 28th year. Sponsored
by the Gleichen Ag. Society, the event
features a rodeo starting at 5 p.m. on
the 17th and 18th as well as a full day
of events starting the morning of the
18. The frst event starts at 8 a.m., a
pancake breakfast sponsored by the
Gleichen Lions Club with all proceeds
going to STARS. This breakfast goes un-
til 10 a.m., which is when the parade
starts. Be there early to get a great spot!
The whole event is very family ori-
ented. The cost is $2 per person or $5
for families. There will be a face painter
and bounce houses for the kids as well
as many other events for adults, includ-
ing a bench show with many different
vendors, a show and shine, Red Neck
Olympics, and a Bed Derby.
The success of the Gleichen Fall Fair
over the past 28 years is due to commu-
nity support and the hard work of the
organizers. Over its history the event
has changed a little almost every year,
but at its core it stays the same.
We change it up a little bit every year
as far as what we have for the kids,
said Fran Miller, who has been helping
with the fair for 11 years. The parade is
getting larger every year, every year its
very similar but a little different.
If anyone is interested getting in-
volved with the fair they should con-
tact Brenda Tower (403-734-2562) or
Fran Miller (403-734-2891) to ender in
the bench show, Alice Booth (403-644-
2969) to enter a foat in the parade, or
Ian Mast (403-734-2526) to enter the
show and shine.

It was just about a year ago when
Rockyford resident and volunteer fre-
fghter Scott Campbell proposed cre-
ating a Badlands Search and Rescue
(SAR) team.
Things have been moving along at an
admittedly slow but steady pace, and
once fnancing is fnalized and in place
Campbell predicts things will speed up.
We have 14 people that are signed up
right now that are members with search
and rescue. Ive got a few more people
that are probably going to be joining
fairly quickly here, theyre showing a
lot of interest, said Campbell.
Were based out of Rockyford at this
time, though were going to be serv-
ing Wheatland, Starland, Kneehill east
towards the special areas, (and) poten-
tially down to Brooks. A lot of that will
be determined once we have our op-
erational status. But we are going to be
covering a pretty good-sized area.
Weve been doing some training
over the past few months here. Weve
done a little bit of training on frst aid,
a little bit of training on incident com-
mand system, knots and rope training,
so just some real basic stuff right now.
Campbell anticipates the Badlands
SAR will be operational in April 2013,
but until then they are unable to as-
sist with any missions. It doesnt mean
things will be dull for the current mem-
bers, there is more training scheduled.
In September there will be a navi-
gation and GPS mapping course, and
in October a four-day wilderness/frst
aid course which includes an overnight
scenario is being planned.
Basically part of it will be this sce-
nario where well do a search for about
half an hour to an hour looking for a
victim or victims depending on how
many teams we have and then once
we locate these people well be caring
for them throughout the night. No mat-
ter what the weather is we will be out
there, said Campbell.
In the spring they will be doing the
basic search and rescue course. Once
that is completed then they will have
all of the training up-to-date that they
need to and will need to take care of a
few more details before getting opera-
tional status.
Campbell is still hoping to get 20 to
40 people to help really get the Bad-
lands SAR off the ground. Members
are expected to commit to a minimum
of six training or search scenarios per
year. Also there is a fnancial commit-
ment.
Each member is expected to provide
their own basic search and rescue pack,
which will hold everything a person
needs to survive 24 to 48 hours, and
what will be needed on pretty much
any mission. Campbell said the pack
could cost $1,000 to $1,500.
Still not sure what exactly Search and
Rescue is all about and if you would
like to join? No worries, Campbell said
anyone interested in coming out to a
training session can e-mail him.
We do ask people to sign a waiver
that are coming that arent members for
obvious reasons, but people can come
and at the very least see what were do-
ing. Depending on what sort of train-
ing that were doing will depend on the
level of participation that well allow,
said Campbell.
If were doing some fairly technical
training were not going to put some-
body into a harness and reppel down
the side of a cliff per se that has no ex-
perience, but we do certainly welcome
people to come out and observe what
were doing and hopefully take part in
at least a bit of the training to get a
taste for it.
More information about Badlands
Search and Rescue can be found on
Facebook or Scott Campbell can be
reached at badlandsar@gmail.com.

Members of Town council called for a special
council meeting for Aug. 8. During the meeting
revisions were made to the Memorandum of Un-
derstanding (MOU) between the Town and United
Way. The revisions included the addition of clause
2.03 which states: to designate staff/administrative
support to the Area Partnership Committee who
will regularly attend meetings and provide assis-
tance as needed.
Clause 2.12 was also added which indicated a
needs assessment should be done for Strathmore a
minimum of every fve years in order to determine
priority areas that funding decisions by the Area
Partnership Committee will be based on.
The revisions were approved unanimously. The
Lakewood Meadows Land Use Amendment was
given frst reading and a public hearing has been
set for Sept. 5.
Councillor Dave Hamilton made a motion to ap-
prove the terms of reference for the 2012 Alberta
55 Plus Summer Games Bid Committee. The pur-
pose of the committee is to compile and submit a
bid to host the 55 Plus Summer Games in July of
2015. The complete bid package must be received
by Dec. 31, 2012.

Plans to revitalize the downtown area in Strath-
more are being discussed as business owners are
being asked for feedback on the project proposal.
Town council members Rocky Blokland and
Bob Sobol have proposed a beautifcation project
to improve Strathmores downtown. Blokland and
Sobol are gathering feedback from local business-
es who will be affected by the changes with the
intention of presenting the information to rest of
council at a later date as a possible future project.
[Sobol and I] are going up and down the street
with [the plan], talking to business owners to see
what the feedback is, said Blokland. So far weve
had pretty positive feedback.
Out of 32 businesses that Blokland and Sobol
have talked to, only one business has offered neg-
ative comments.
Blokland says that changing downtown will help
build peoples pride in their downtown area and
bring downtown Strathmore up to the level of the
rest of the town.
Since this plan is in the preliminary stages, no
dates or budgets have been set. Blokland says that
he and Sobol are just looking to get the word of
the project out and co-operation from local busi-
ness owners.
Blokland lists a few things that would be changed
with the current proposal, if council so approved,
which include exchanging advertising benches for
decorative steel benches, replacing street lamps
with coach lanterns, and adding a median into the
center of the street and changing diagonal parking
to parallel.
Theres four or fve different things were look-
ing at, said Blokland, Im trying to get people to
look outside the box. Its time for a change.
While Blokland and Sobol both recognize the
cons to these ideas, Blokland is confdent that the
residents of Strathmore will see that the pros out-
weigh the cons.
Were going to lose about 37 parking stalls, said
Blokland, and he knows that will be the number
one complaint. However, he assures this wont be
a problem as there are three parking lots available
in the downtown area to be utilized.
Blokland says that this plan, if approved, wont
cost a huge amount of money.
Positive results from the renovations include
health benefts from being able to walk through
downtown, a sense of pride and happiness from
having a nicer downtown, and a reduction in traf-
fc concerns.
Basically were trying to do something to
change the downtown area and make it look bet-
ter. We want to brighten up the area, he said.

Fule for Thought
When you are a new parent, you might think
you would miss the intimacy of being a couple
of those WILD nights together (YOU know what
I mean!) (Okay now were back on a planet
where people actually breathe Oxygen!).
The ONE thing that ALL new parents miss the
most is SLEEP! Im going to get All Shakespeare
on you now, because he (whoever THEY think he
was!) wrote in Macbeth, that Sleep : knits up
the ravelled sleeve of care.
In other words (for those of you who stayed af-
ter the word Shakespeare), sleep is the thing that
helps us rest, and it also can ease our worries (and
you thought I was bluffng about understanding
Shakespeare shame on you!).
Sometimes in REAL Life, it takes a long time, and
a LOT of patience to get your kids to go to sleep.
Oh sure, weve all tried reading stories having a
quieter time before bed, a favourite stuffed animal
(not the one grandpa shot!), warm milk, a night
light Blah, Blah, Blah!!!
What we want as parents is that when its bed-
time, and the storys been read the kids will actu-
ally go TO sleep! I used to be so tired at Bedtime
Story Time, that Id hold a few pages of a book
together fake it and hope my kids wouldnt
catch on! But we all know, they do and I was
forced to read that same DAMN book for the ftth
time that week!
One night, I had FINALLY gotten the kids to
bed, and in the middle of the night, my daughter
Breanne began to cry. Oh horror of horrors .. the
night light was out! This sadly, was a big deal to my
18 month old daughter! I rushed around, trying to
fnd a light bulb to replace the dead one. I looked
everywhere, trying to fnd a replacement to no
avail! I decided, that at 2:30 a.m. on a school night,
maybe a Christmas light would do the trick! After
pulling down all the Christmas lights in the base-
ment, I found a yellow one, put it in, and quietly
(like a Ninja) went back to bed. Before she even
cried, I knew. I had picked one of those stupid, an-
noying lights that BLINK!! When I went back, she
was on the verge of tears all because of that stu-
pid, yellow, blinking light!
Because I can be stubborn I tried four OTHER
lights that ALSO blinked, before I found one that
just GLOWED yellow! (Youd think I would bring
up a handful of lights to try!!). Breanne and I were
fnally able to sleep! I looked at the clock it read
3 a.m., AND SHE WAS FINALLY ASLEEP (little did I
know this same situation would happen regularly,
when she was 21!!).
For those of you hoping that this ONLY happens
with baby girls be warned!!
When we were still a very young married couple
(okay, Debbie was the YOUNG one!) we vol-
unteered to be part her schools year end Progres-
sive Dinner. (Word to the wise NEVER volunteer
to host Dessert!)
Now, Brennen (as a baby) had a TOTALLY regular
routine: up at 6:30 a.m. for about four hours, then
back to bed (hopefully to nap). Our LAST guests
left at 5:30 a.m.!!
We were exhausted and tried everything to po-
litely hint cleaning up, wiping counters, empty-
ing ashtrays (remember those?) fnally we were
alone! And of course, my son woke up at 6:30 a.m.!!
He didnt seem to CARE that wed only had one
hour of sleep!! Thank God we were young, and that
it was a Saturday, so we could take Baby Shifts!
Sometimes, its the grandparents who want to
sleep. Many of you know my In-Laws (remember
the old friend who got locked out of the motel
room?). They love to be active, and they lead an AC-
TIVE social life (YOU know what I mean!)
Anyway, our kids started a morning ritual when
we visited the G-Rents (cool kids slang who
knew?). Whenever they woke up, my kids would
take their stuffed toy rooster, smack its butt, it
would then crow, and scare the crap out of my
In-Laws, who REALLY wanted to sleep! The G-Rents
were not able to run, or hide, and of course it
HAD to be cute, cuz their grandkids were doing it
(I think they learned that staying out late was HAZ-
ARDOUS to their health)!
Many years later, you would think that now (like
many of you) .. and our kids are adults, wed have a
return to great sleeps. But, oh no, the kids conned
us into a FAMILY DOG!!
THEY grew up and LEFT!!! Brodie the Wonder
Dog is worse than the two of them! He (because
were dumb!) is used to sleeping on OUR bed! So
now, instead of kids wrecking our sleep, we have
a four-legged fur ball that hogs a King-Sized bed,
snores, dreams, passes gas, and then has some
stupid instinct to JAM against us all through the
NIGHT!!!!
People tell you that once you have kids, youll
forget EVERYTHING about the Single Life all
I know, is that I slept a WHOLE LOT better THEN!

Readers will recall April 13, 2010 as the date which
saw many areas in Wheatland County fooded due to
the heavy snowfall in the days previous. We awoke that
morning to fnd that most of our yard was under water.
As the thaw continued and precipitation fell, the water
continued to rise.
We arrived home from work on June 21 to a fooded
garage, a foating deck and a lake where our driveway
should be.
Maybe we should have anticipated a situation like
this. After all, were situated beside a slough, at the bot-
tom of a natural bowl in the land. In hindsight, fooding
was a pretty obvious possibility. Maybe we assumed
that the original developers of the property knew what
they were doing.
It doesnt matter now. Its interesting to note, how-
ever, that the one thing we heard most often from long-
time residents was Ive lived around here for __ years,
and Ive never seen it this high before!
Small comfort when for three plus months you cant
leave your house without rubber boots and the dog has
to be carried across the swamp just for a pee.
This is not, however, a letter of complaints. This is
a long overdue letter of appreciation to those who
helped us, in small ways and large ways. We wish to
publicly acknowledge and thank everyone who helped
us out (see the thank you list in the classifed section).
If we missed your name, let us know. We are aware
that there were others who tried to get help for us, and
we appreciate you for that.
Thank you all so much for everything you did.

Sincerely,
Mike, Barb and Jeremy Froese

To the Editor
My name is Susan Gates and I have worked for
Wheatland Family and Community Support Services
(WFCSS) for the past ten years. Recent events have
prompted me to write this letter.
The staff at WFCSS was informed on Monday, July
23 that the Town of Strathmore will be pulling their
portion of FCSS funding and starting their own FCSS.
They have every right to make that decision. My is-
sue is the way it was handled.
WFCSS has been in partnership with the Town of
Strathmore for 34 years. With that length of time, I
feel we deserved more respect, consideration and
common courtesy than we were shown. Would staff
experienced in the programs not help to make a
more seamless transition? Has the town given any
thought or consideration to the employees of the ex-
isting FCSS? What would have been wrong with the
town working with us to better serve the residents
of Strathmore? It was stated that the town residents
should have a say in what programs are available. Is
that not why we have two Town Councilors on the
WFCSS board? I honestly believe that the town does
not even know what programs are actually offered
through WFCSS to the town residents.
As to the extensive research into the pros and
cons of bringing the FCSS Program under the um-
brella of the Municipality of Strathmore would it not
be in the towns best interests to work with WFCSS
to fnd out WHAT programs are being offered, the
cost to offer these programs and the staffng time it
takes to offer these programs? What happens now
to all the programs we currently run that are inter-
twined between the county and the town, such as
the Wheatland County Food Bank?? Why would you
open your own Town FCSS and then want to partner
with the existing FCSS on programs? I wonder if its
a budget issue? How does the town plan on provid-
ing enhanced services with only half the funding?
Funding is provided on a per capita basis.
What expertise or knowledge does the town have
to run a Home Support Program? Do they know what
it entails? How has the town prepared to offer this
program? Do they realize the cost of running a Home
Support Program? What really worries me is that the
senior & disabled clients will be paying a lot more
than they currently are for these enhanced services!
So many questions and no answers!
We are all long-term employees at WFCSS and I
think that says something to the fact that we are all
dedicated to FCSS and the programs that we work
with. To work with FCSS, I believe that you have to
be a very compassionate person who cares about the
agencies and individuals that you work with.

Partnership comes to an end
To the Editor
For quite some time, I have been very concerned
about the lack of a pathway along George Freeman
Trail (west side). This is an expensive venture, and
to complicate matters, it will be resolved once devel-
opment on the east side commences (as a sidewalk
is planned). As I looked at the feld between The
Ranch (Archie Klaiber Trail) and Parklane Drive, it
was evident that, with a little effort, this area could
be cleared and a pathway established to allow pe-
destrians to walk safely. After raising this concept
with our administration, they then approached Paul
Douglas from United Communities (The Ranch De-
velopers) who agreed that this was a good idea and
offered to take action. The result is a new pathway
which allows pedestrians a safer alternative than
walking along George Freeman Trail (for a portion,
at least). My compliments to Mr. Douglas and the
folks from United Communities their eagerness to
take action in this matter shows they are true com-
munity partners!

New pathways make for safer walks
To the Editor
There is no other way to describe this government
and the agencies under its control.
Last weeks article outlined the extravagant ex-
pense claims of Allaudin Merali, the former Chief Fi-
nancial Offcer with Alberta Health. In three years he
managed to push through $350,000 in entertainment
and other expenses.
On top of a $500,000 a year salary, he averaged
$10,000 a month in meals, liquor and other claims.
After the centralized Super Health Board was estab-
lished in 2008, Merali became a health consultant in
Ontario, where he again became infamous for his
excessive claims.
Despite his notoriety in government circles, Alber-
ta Health hired him as their head accountant a few
months ago. More revelations elevate the situation to
the repulsive. For his three years of work with Capi-
tal Health, a $500,000 annual salary and $350,000 in
expenses was simply the start. Read slowly to digest
the magnitude.
In addition to his regular pension (for three years
work), Merali receives a supplementary pension
of $13,303 per month (yes, per month!). He also re-
ceived 1 million (one million) dollars in severance
pay. There is now word that we might be on the
hook for another severance package for his few
months efforts with the Super Board.
Revelations suggest that there is far more than one
pig madly slurping. Taxpayers are on the hook for
a further $35 million in supplementary pensions to
other executives with Alberta Health.
This behavior is anything but an anomaly. You
might recall the $371,000 paid to a consultant by
the name of Kelly Charlebois, when Gary Mar was
Health Minister. The untendered contract was for
verbal advice.
No report was ever given of Charlebois contribu-
tions.
Charlebois has no expertise in the health feld. He
was a political insider with the Progressive Conser-
vatives. At the moment he is the interim Executive
Director of P.C. Alberta. I suggest it wont be long
before taxpayers are directly paying him again.
None of this would have come to our attention
were it not for the diligent work of one reporter who
dug up the slop via 143 Freedom of Information re-
quests. There is no reason to believe that there are
not hundreds of millions more in excessive handouts
to others in a government where accountability is a
foreign concept.
LUNACY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
You may have heard of federal Language Com-
missioner Graham Frasers latest initiative. It seems
that he will be sending secret language police out
to eight Canadian airports to ensure that we are be-
ing adequately provided bilingual services. These
include Vancouver and Edmonton.
At a cost of $90,000, we will not only be able to
determine whether the local Air Canada agent can
speak to us in both offcial languages but also staff at
airport restaurants, souvenir shops and bookstores.
As Kelly McParland of the National Post put it, if
theres a more pointless waste of tax money than
sussing out whether a Timmies cashier in Vancou-
ver understands the French term for double-double,
I cant think of it.
Democracy must be more that two wolves and a
sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

August 17, 2012 Strathmore TimeS Page 9
Jason Hale
MLA Strathmore-Brooks
In the months leading up to the
spring election, my Wildrose col-
leagues and I highlighted example af-
ter example of what happens when a
political party has been in government
for too long. We called attention to
behaviour like the PC party soliciting
and accepting illegal donations from
public institutions like municipalities,
school boards, Alberta Health Servic-
es, and post secondary institutions,
bullying and intimidation of health
care professionals and local elected
representatives, closed door contracts
with PC connected frms with no pub-
lic tendering, and the promotions and
appointments of offcials who have
track records of abusing public dollars
to top spots in government and the PC
party.
We called it a culture of corruption,
where mutual back-scratching insid-
ers use public dollars for personal or
political beneft. This is what happens
when a party has been in power for
more than four decades- politicians
and insiders get out of touch with ev-
eryday Albertans, entitlement sets in
and they believe the rules that apply
to everyone else no longer apply to
them.
This week, a glaring example of this
deep seated and entrenched behav-
iour hit the news. The Chief Finan-
cial Offcer of Alberta Health Services
was revealed to have received about
$350,000 in expenses for unbeliev-
able claims like car detailing and re-
pairs to his Mercedes Benz, expensive
meals, butler service and opera tick-
ets, in his previous role with Capital
Health between 2005-08. Despite this
background, he was appointed CFO
of Alberta Health Services about three
months ago. Because of public expo-
sure, the CFO is stepping down and
may walk away with a hefty taxpayer
funded severance package of nearly
half a million dollars.
Whats more, just prior to the elec-
tion, he had actually been appointed
as the Controller for the entire govern-
ment of Alberta, through an Order-in-
Council, which is a special decree put
forward by the Minister of Finance and
approved by the Premier and Govern-
ment Cabinet Ministers. Its unclear
why he left that role, but immediately
after the election, he became the CFO
of Alberta Health Services (AHS).
Trying to explain this fasco after it
became public, the Minister of Health
had very few answers for Albertans.
When trying to justify how this indi-
vidual got hired as the top fnancial
watch dog for our health care sys-
tem in the frst place, the Minister of
Health said he was dumbfounded,
outraged and didnt know about ex-
penses or his previous involvement
with the Ontario scandal.
Right.
Dumbfounded. The problem is that
other Ministers acknowledged they
did know about the individuals role
in the spending scandal in Ontario. Ei-
ther nobody knew, which reveals rank
incompetence and negligence in the
hiring and appointment process, or
theyre fudging the truth. Of course,
Premier Redford isnt here to address
Albertans directly about this affront,
because she is at the Olympics in Lon-
don, on a trip that will singlehandedly
cost taxpayers much more than what
most Albertans will make this year: an
estimated $84,000.
There is so much wrong with this
situation, it is hard to even know
where to start. Aside from the galling
expense claims and obscene waste of
public dollars, the incompetence or
wilful oversight in the appointment
process, and the pattern of politicians
and senior government offcials only
looking out for themselves, Albertans
can be forgiven for also being alarmed
about what this fasco says about the
governments priorities. Irresponsible
abuse of public dollars is probably just
the tip of the iceburg, and it is symp-
tomatic of a broken and corrupt sys-
tem.
But, sadly, this is par for the course.
After four decades in power, this gov-
ernments decisions are totally out of
whack from the common sense of most
Albertans. They treat taxpayer dollars
like a bottomless personal piggybank
to reward insiders and political pals
while Albertans suffer on waiting lists
for specialized procedures and surger-
ies that are among the longest in the
country, emergency rooms and Emer-
gency Management Services are in cri-
sis, seniors in long term care facilities
have been fed disgusting, processed
and packaged food shipped long dis-
tances, many Albertans have trouble
fnding family doctors who will take
on new patients, and front line staff
are scrambling to provide core services
and going above and beyond to serve
Albertans in a top heavy, unresponsive
system that pays extravagant bonuses
to senior AHS executives, even though
the system continually fails to meet
most of its targets.
Clearly, Albertans deserve answers -
not only about expenses and hiring in
Alberta Health Services, but about the
management and oversight in other
government departments too. As the
Offcial Opposition, I and my Wildrose
colleagues will keep asking questions
and holding the government to ac-
count. As the constituents of Strath-
more-Brooks know, we will continue
to advocate for whistleblower legis-
lation so public servants, contractors
and employees can speak out about
ethical breaches and wasteful spend-
ing without fear of reprisal and for a
more responsive freedom of informa-
tion system to make politicians ac-
countable. We will continue to fght for
local delivery of health care, to get rid
of the top layers of high priced execu-
tives and to focus funds and decision
making authority on the front lines so
the health care system works better for
all of us.

The combination of elaborate pyrotechnic fre-
works and the celebration of multiculturalism may
seem like an unlikely duo, but is exactly what
makes Calgarys unique GlobalFest such a success.
I would have to say the main thing that ties them
together is art and performance; I think a lot of cul-
ture is expressed through dance, performance, mu-
sic, food, and freworks is just another extension of
that in my opinion. Think of the sky as pretty much
an open canvas, you can paint a theme to express
your culture, said Bryan Francisco, the GlobalFest
Marketing and Communications Director.
The 10th annual GlobalFest will be located at El-
liston Park, East Calgary from August 16-26. Differ-
ent cultures from across the world will be showcas-
ing their diversity in all aspects, including Blackfoot
Crossing Historical Park (BCHP) who will be in at-
tendance a second time around to represent Sik-
sika nation and the Blackfoot culture.
The best way to kind of envision it is that there
are two simultaneous festivals going on, one is
the One World festival from 6-9 (p.m.), in order to
build up the anticipation for the multicultural fre
works, said Francisco.
The One World Festival includes four different
performance stages, different cultural pavilions,
ethnic food booths, childrens activities and a night
market. For the frst time ever, GlobalFest is having
a Tipi village that BCHP will be a part of.
We will have interpreters and staff on site do-
ing interactive things with kids, promoting BCHP.
On stage, we are going to have performances. We
have a little theatre performance and our usual
powwow performances, its grown since last year.
We will be there all week but on every other day,
fve of the ten, said BCHP General Manager, Jack
Royal.
Were involved right at the beginning, we actu-
ally have an elder coming to do a blessing to kick
off the whole (event), said Royal.
In celebration of GlobalFests 10th year, the
number of nights with freworks has increased
from fve to six. Francisco described the year of
2012 as being GlobalFests biggest year in pro-
gramming, with the new additions of the Tipi vil-
lage and a new urban arts stage. GlobalFest is one
of Calgarys largest locally drawn events, bringing
in anywhere from 16,000-20,000 people daily, all
in one park location.
Entering into the freworks portion of the eve-
ning, each night will showcase a freworks display
from a different country, including the Philippines
(the 2011 Peoples Choice), as well as Mexico, Chi-
na, Brazil, and USA. The grand fnale will be tak-
ing place on Sunday, August 26th, and will include
a frework display by Fireworks Director, Patrick
Brault.
He is one of the best in the business, he is an
old friend of the business, he goes way back with
our producer and our executive producer for many
years, and since that time, he has had over 20-25
years of experience with freworks and hes done
stuff for the World Cup, F1 Racing, he did the 2010
Vancouver Winter Olympics and now hes here
with us, said Francisco.
The title of the fnale is called Eclipse which
includes elements of pleasure, success, spirituality,
as well as destruction, regrets, rebirth and rebuild-
ing through the different song selections.
In Patricks words, he uses freworks to create a
personal metaphor for the non linear cycle of life,
said Francisco.
Each country must meet a certain criteria in their
freworks display including that 25 per cent of the
music must be native to the country, and artistic
requirements are involved including colour, preci-
sion and synchronization.
In terms of the One World portion, Royal be-
lieves its a great opportunity for BCHP to share its
culture with others and anticipates being a part of
GlobalFest next year.
I think its a good opportunity also to promote
Calgary and the original history of Calgary through
First Nations perspective and sharing that with not
only people from Calgary but with countries that
come from around the world, said Royal.

balfest.ca. Tickets are currently priced at $15.

Blackfoot Crossing
to make its mark at GlobalFest
Canadian tourism on the rise
Jenna Campbell
Times Contributor
It has been over a year since the Canadian Tour-
ism Commission (CTC) has launched the Canadian
Experiences Collection(SEC) marketing program
which has thus far proved to be successful.
Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park (BCHP)
joined the SEC in its second wave of approved ex-
periences, on October 18, 2011. After a third wave
of SEC approved applicants, the collection stands
today with a total of 163 members. The CTC will
be entering into its fourth wave, accepting appli-
cations for new experiences from November 15-
December 15, 2012.
In an attempt to stand out in the marketplace,
the CTC created the SEC, a marketing program
designed to promote unique travel experiences
that can only be found in Canada to entice inter-
national travelers. Eleven different countries are
currently being targeted.
Travelers are drawn to the idea of once-in-a-life-
time experiences, which is exactly what the CTC
is emphasizing internationally. BCHP perfectly fts
with the defnition with its six square kilometers
overlooking the Bow River, Tipi village, archeo-
logical digging on site, and an extensive historical
building of 66,000 square feet.
You can go to any other institution and have
other non-First Nations people and on non-First
Nations land telling First Nations history, telling
First Nations culture, interpreting their values,
beliefs, and so on. Here you are going to get it
directly from our own people, said General Man-
ager of BCHP, Jack Royal, who adds, youre going
to get our perspective from our eyes, through our
interpretation, through our own language.
SEC members will receive the benefts of being
marketed globally in 11 consumer markets.
Examples of exposure include utilizing social
media, travel and media relations and web mar-
keting.
Its all based on the economy, some markets
are doing quite well, some are still recovering
from economic turndown, I think as the economy
improves around the world, then the option for
travel will come back and you will see Canada as
a major player within the world, said Frank Ver-
schuren, the Brand Experience Specialist from the
Canadian Tourism Commission.
Great potential lies in the Chinese market as
Canada recently was granted Approved Destina-
tion Status (ADS) by China in June 2010, allowing
the CTC to promote Canadian travel within the
country. The number of Chinese visitors to Cana-
da is on the rise, totaling at 22,630 from May 2012,
a 22 per cent increase from the previous year, ac-
cording to the CTC.
I think China, is a relatively new market that we
are in, its only been a couple of years since weve
had approved destination status from the Chinese
Government so now we can formally go and sell
Canada to the perspective of the Chinese people
who wish to travel certainly in North America and
into Canada, said Verschuren.
Canada was named the number one tourism
brand for a second year in a row on November 10,
2011 by the leading international brand consul-
tancy, FutureBrand. The label demonstrates that
Canada carries a positive connotation worldwide.
The market potential, certainly from an inter-
national perspective, is quite high because the av-
erage spent from a visitor from a foreign destina-
tion is much higher than what a Canadian spends
in Canada, so the more international revenue you
can create, the higher yield of revenue that comes
into Canada, said Verschuren.
The SEC marketing program is still in the early
stages, and in time, Canada willreap the benefts
of the CTCs marketing endeavors.

Debbie Wakelam, owner and operator of mead-
owlark Senior Care Home, provides a family at-
mosphere for seniors under her care.

Sharon McLeay Photo

Times Contributor
Debbie Wakelam wants people to
pay attention to the announcement
made by Health Minister Fred Horne
last month that addresses seniors hous-
ing needs.
The government is recommending
changes based on the Moving Con-
tinuing Care Centres Forward: Concept
Paper, indicating movement towards
an aging in one place concept, a larg-
er facility model for senior care.
Wakelam said the paper does not
provide for alternate care options that
were promised in the 2008 Aging in
the Right Place document. It promised
to provide more options and improve
choice and availability as to where Al-
bertans receive services.
The new plan amalgamates all levels
of housing and care into one govern-
ment department that oversees large
development living sites, in which the
residents would move from foor to
foor as their medical needs increased.
Where is our choice or an option in
this proposal? said Wakelam.
In an article in the Edmonton Jour-
nal Health Minister Fred Horne said it
is an early draft with very preliminary
ideas. Horne said all Albertans would
have a chance to weigh in on the de-
sign of the new eldercare system at
some point in the future.
Wakelam belongs to the Alberta Se-
niors Citizens Housing Association
(ASCH) that has representatives from
all kinds of senior care facilities. She
said they gave suggestions to the Al-
berta Government about housing for
senior citizens that incorporated many
alternatives to large long-term care fa-
cilities. The new plan does not seem to
consider that input.
We made suggestions to them; I
think that the decision was already
made. They have already built models.
They are already going to do this. Al-
though it is a draft, it is already a done
deal, said Wakelam.
There are currently different kinds
of nursing facilities and long-term care
homes. It can be confusing to the aver-
age citizen.
There are voluntary, non-proft
groups, organizations and religious
groups that own auxiliary hospitals
and nursing homes, and some are still
municipally owned or co-owned. They
operate under the Hospital or Nursing
Home Act. If their services are con-
tracted to the Regional Health Author-
ity, their boards are accountable to the
authority, as well as the staff, and cli-
ents.
There are also Private nursing
homes. They operate under the Nurs-
ing Home Act and are accountable to
their owners, their staff and clients and
the regional authority - if they have a
contract with them. Both are account-
able to the Health and Welfare Minister
in matters relating to the Act.
The new move may be a move to
simplify this diversity of services.
There is some speculation that pri-
vately owned facilities will eventually
replace all publically managed homes.
The fnancial strains on public homes
include old building upkeep, increas-
ing staff costs and providing fair living
costs for low-income seniors, making it
a challenge to meet their bottom line.
There is some evidence that the gov-
ernment contracts are being awarded
to large private developers, although
smaller facilities are tendering con-
tracts. Wakelam thinks smaller contrac-
tors are reviewed and denied in favour
of a one-size-fts-all development. The
smaller bid complies with the same
licensing guidelines and providers
are providing the same standards of
service. Often smaller contractors are
owners living in the community, with
established historical relationships with
potential clients. Clients are denied the
choice of a more intimate style of care
because not enough of these types of
facilities are approved, or funding for
upkeep and maintenance is withheld.
When I met with Associate Minis-
ter (of seniors) George VanderBurg,
he said If I had the decision making, I
would give private developers the en-
tire job and let them build the thou-
sand beds that I need, said Wakelam.
Because you have dementia, why
does it mean you have be in one of
these facilities? I have two people here
and they function quite fne.
Wakelam has been involved in geri-
atric home care for more than two de-
cades and is following the Eden Val-
ley Care philosophy. Each of her home
mates have various levels of care needs.
She worked with Alberta government
offcials to develop procedures and
standards of care for small care homes,
like her small four bedroom, age 86+,
Meadowlark care home, located in
Strathmore.
The Eden Valley approach is person
centred, growth oriented and interac-
tive within a home and community set-
ting. www.edenalt.org. It differs from
the medical institutional program ap-
proach (dining program, bathing pro-
gram, etc.) to transform a new way
of thinking. It asks people to move
from thinking of our elders as frail
and sickly persons awaiting death in
an institution; moving toward making
the elderly contributing members of
our community, interacting with family
members, owning pets and participat-
ing in community events.
Wakelam had previously worked in
bigger care facilities and didnt like
how the caregivers were expected to
care for the residents.
I didnt like how we had to do the
care. You have so many residents to get
up in a limited amount of time. They
are sound asleep. You wake them up
and sit them in a chair. That is not what
these people deserve in their old age.
I have one woman that sleeps in quite
late and her family is OK with that.
Why cant she sleep in if she wants
to? I have one lady that likes to have
breakfast in her housecoat.
She said the smaller care homes of-
fer a more relaxed schedule, a smaller
more comfortable living space that is
less confusing and intimidating for de-
mentia patients. Agitation is reduced.
She says there is less dependence on
medication. Participation in daily home
activities such as helping in meal prep-
aration or gardening is encouraged.
Most old people die from boredom,
loneliness and feeling helpless. You
give them a purpose with simple things
such as setting the table and participat-
ing, said Wakelam.
With the new guidelines, Wakelam
doesnt think her home can meet the
large facility requirements. She also
wonders if the private amalgamated
care will have enough qualifed staff
to deal with extended needs. She says
that the private developers are charg-
ing for extra care needs and she won-
ders if the extended care will be afford-
able to everyone. She wonders if they
phase out extended care in hospitals,
will there be place for those not al-
ready living in the large facilities, when
the medical needs reach a Level 4 stage
of care.

In the early 1920s, the Hoff family
decided to leave Germany and move to
the New World. Eds father and broth-
er moved to Canada, whilst one older
brother moved to Argentina. Those
who came to Canada moved to the
Gleichen area, and purchased land to
start farming. Ed was born in Cluny in
1931, the eldest of fve children, and
went to school mainly in Gleichen, al-
though he did attend Cluny Dormitory
for his high school. Following this he
attended SAIT for two years Industrial
Electricity. Following graduation, he
was hired as an electrician on con-
tract, by The Lutheran Church, to assist
in rebuilding war damaged buildings
and equipment in New Guinea. After
spending fve years there, he returned
to Gleichen in 1959, and took over the
family farm, from his father. For the
next two years he worked and com-
pleted exams, which led to his Masters
Degree and an Electricians License in
1963, which broadened his work avail-
ability to include residential house wir-
ing, under Hoff Electricity.
Bevs father was ffth or sixth genera-
tion from Wales. His forefathers moved
to Canada in the late 1700s, and settled
in Ontario. After graduating, he moved
to Fort St John and this was where Bev
was born in 1937, the middle child of
fve girls. She grew up there, and com-
pleted her education in Fort St John
and surrounding area.
Both Ed and Bev were previously
married, but both lost their respective
spouses to health. These marriages pro-
vided Ed with a daughter and two sons,
and in turn nine grandchildren. Bevs
frst marriage also gave her a daughter
and two sons, and she now has seven
grandchildren.
Following their marriage Bev moved
to the Hoff family farm in Gleichen in
1988, where they continued to farm
until 1998, when Eds son Peter and
wife Cindy took over the farm and
rented the land. In
1990, Ed and Bev had
started Evertight Fence
Anchors a company
which manufactures
guy anchors for agricul-
tural use. Mainly they
are used to tie down
grain bins, trailers,
tool sheds, calf shel-
ters, retaining walls, fencing, etc. For
14 years, they travelled to agriculture
shows all over Western Canada, before
selling this business in 2004, so they
could retire and move to their newly
built house in Strathmore. They moved
here to be closer to medical facilities,
stores and the many friends from the
Gleichen area, who had already moved
here. In 2001, the farm celebrated its
100th anniversary of farming.
They were both very involved in the
community. Ed was known as Mr Fix
It. Even his father used to say that Ed
could fx anything! Following his ser-
vice in New Guinea, Ed continued to
volunteer his time and expertise for
wiring and repairs at different church
camps and community buildings.
He was a member and served on the
board of Unifarm, The World Mission
Board of The Lutheran Church, and
served as Superintendent of The Lu-
theran Church Sunday School in Glei-
chen, when his own family was young.
As mentioned above, Bev lived in
the north at Fort St John. With her frst
husband they were very involved with
the B.C. Seed Growers & B.C. Seed
Fairs and Seminars.
Her husband was Pres-
ident of The B.C. Seed
Growers for 10 years.
They were part of the
planning committee
when the North Peace
Care Home Society
was formed, and the
Care Home was built.
Her husband served on the board from
the beginning until his death. For fve
years, Bev taught Bible History to the
confrmation classes of Peace Lutheran
Church, and served as Vice President
of the Church Council. She was also
a member of the ELCW a womens
church group, the local community
club, and farmers union.
The main changes they have seen in
Strathmore include the arrival of the
big box stores like Walmart, Sobeys,
Canadian Tire and No Frills. In Wheat-
land County - the family farm is a thing
of the past. They are being purchased
by large operations to create huge
farms that most families cannot com-
pete against.

This Sunday, August 19, four organic
farmers are inviting people to spend
the day touring their farms. Winters
Turkeys in Dalemead, Heritage Harvest
Farm located northwest of Strathmore,
Cams Carrots near Carseland and Pop-
lar Bluff Farm from Strathmore have
all banded together to bring the farm
tours to those interested.
When we got together and talked
about it we thought, well why dont we
do this on our own. The idea is to make
the community more aware that there
are organic farms here, and that theres
really good food being produced out
here, said Rosemary Wotske, with Pop-
lar Bluff Farm.
This is the second time weve done
it and the comments we got the frst
time from the people who participated
were all so positive. Its just not some-
thing that they get exposed to and they
learn a ton more stuff about what actu-
ally happens in the agricultural indus-
try and specifcally how their food gets
grown, said Mark Gibeau of Heritage
Harvest Farm.
Organic farming is a niche market
that is growing in popularity. Gibeau
explained that the difference, other
than not using pesticides, is the differ-
ent method of getting soil fertility.
Where conventional farming they
basically buy fertilizers and those sorts
of things. In the grain farming industry
we rely on recycling our straw and then
we buy some kind of fertilizers that are
made out of bone meal, blood meal,
feather meal that kind of stuff, some
other kind of organic soil enhancers,
said Gibeau.
Basically we want to get that whole
biological system in the soil working
in that natural rhythm rather than try-
ing to compensate for it by using other
kinds of fertilizers.
Going organic was the best ft for
Gibeau who, after 40 years of being
out of farming, decided to buy a small
section of land across from his home
when the opportunity arose. Being
a small land owner and trying to run
in the conventional system wouldnt
work so he looked at the niche market,
which is why Heritage Harvest Farms
only grows organic and nothing but
heritage varieties of wheat.
Wotske knew from a young age that
she wanted to spend her life on the
farm. What drove me to keep trying
new things was a love of good food.
I began farming organically because I
felt bad every time I used a chemical.
Then I noticed that food tasted better
without chemicals too, said Wotske.
In 85 she bought the farm and it was
98 when she went certifed. She grows
a number of different varieties of po-
tatoes with up to 30 kinds a year. This
year she is down to a manageable 16
kinds.
Cam of Cams Carrots, grows fve dif-
ferent coloured carrots. Three are the
fresh eating variety, and two are cook-
ing variety. He also grows beets, gold
beets, candy stripe, red and white beets
and parsnips.
With a majority of the buyers market
coming from Calgary, thats where tick-
ets are being sold, and participants will
be picked up from the Chinook LRT
station. Last year was the frst time they
did the four farms and there were 30
to 35 people. Cam said they are nearly
double that this year.
Its another opportunity for people
from the city to just get exposed to
some of the different agricultural kinds
of things and its a target market as
well. These are people who are more
likely a little more in tune as to where
they shop and what they buy, said Gi-
beau.
Tickets are still on sale and can ei-
ther be bought at Community Natural
Foods, Sunnyside Natural Market, or
Amaranth Whole Foods for $35 each.
Wotske said locals interested could con-
tact the individual farmers, but said it is
probably worthwhile to have someone
drop them off at the pickup point. The
tour is from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

The Strathmore Boston Pizza (BP) Thunder
bantam A girls softball teams hosted the West-
ern Canadian Championships for the girls and
boys August 9 to 12.
Strathmore pulled off a great weekend, ad-
vancing into the tiebreaker format to advance
into the fnal four playoff round. All four teams
were tied for the third and fourth place spots
after the round robin.
Strathmore, Calgary, Fleetwood and Kelowna
were all forced into extra games. Kelowna moved
on to play Strathmore after defeating Fleetwood.
The two teams had met earlier in round robin
play, with Strathmore defeating Kelowna 9-2.
In the fnal match up between the two teams
Kelowna was able to get on the board early and
stay ahead, defeating Strathmore 7-0. The Strath-
more Thunder walked away with a ffth place
fnish from the Western Canadian Champion-
ships.
Our team had a great run on the weekend,
with one game somehow slipping away that cost
us a third place seeding after round robin play.
We had just jumped out to a 7-2 lead against
Winnipeg and had full control of the game and
somehow out of nowhere, the next inning was
completed and we were trailing 10-7, said BP
Thunder coach Lanky Johnson.
It was so innocent as it unfolded and that loss
cost us the opportunity to fnish in third seed
prior to the playoff round and not having to play
tie breaker games.
Saskatoon went to the fnals against Conquest.
It was a big surprise in the fnals when Con-
quest took the two winning runs of the game.
Saskatoon had scored at least 10 runs in every
game they had played, and went into the gold
medal game with an undefeated record of 7-0.
Conquest had only suffered one loss prior to the
fnal game, and that was to Saskatoon earlier in
the page playoff.
The Conquest Coyotes won the gold medal
with a score of 2-0.
Overall on the season this was a fantastic
year with these young ladies. In the beginning
we had goals set to be sure as a frst year A
level team, that we work hard and learn how to
be competitive, said Johnson.
In the end we got a bronze medal in Alberta
A provincials then a 5th place in Western Can-
ada Championships. That is worth GOLD and
they deserve to feel proud of themselves. It will
take few days for them to get over losing out,
but it will slowly sink in and as we have told
them all along the game will pay you back for
all the effort they put in this year and they are
amazing athletes.
In the boys U16 fnal Saskatoon took the lead
9-2 against the Prince Albert Astros.

Patricia Lyle has been riding in the
Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer for
three years and is currently raising
money for 2013, her fourth year. This
charity bike ride through the Rocky
Mountains holds a special place in
Lyles heart after her father lost his bat-
tle to cancer when she was eight years
old. She already liked to cycle, so she
decided to join the ride in 2010.
(The ride) combined something that
I enjoy doing with something thats
going to try to help people by raising
money to fnd a cure, so kids dont have
to grow up without a parent, said Lyle.
Every time you turn around, some-
bodys being diagnosed with cancer
and a good way to try and fnd a cure
is to raise money for the people [to]
get the equipment they need to try and
fnd a cure to this nasty disease.
In order to participate in this event,
the rider must raise a minimum of
$2,500 and currently Lyle is trying to
raise money through barbecues at
M&M Meats.
I am not personally able to donate
$2,500 to the Alberta Cancer Society
so by doing the fundraising and riding
each year Im able to do my part and
help to fnd a cure, said Lyle. Her next
barbecue is on Sept. 22 in front of M&M
meats in Strathmore. Any contribution
is appreciated and going to buy a burg-
er helps Patricia ride in an event that
means a lot to her.
The frst year I did it I was stand-
ing at the starting line at Spruce Mead-
ows waiting to take off and when they
said, okay everybody lets go it brought
tears to my eyes to think of all these
people getting together to do this, to
support this cause, said Lyle.
All the money raised goes to the Al-
berta Cancer Society. If you miss Patri-
cias barbecue this September you can
always donate through Patricias page
at www.conquercancer.ca. Click do-
nate, then search for Patricia Lyle.
I ride because I can and I ride for
those who cant. I will continue to ride
for as long as I am physically able to
because there isnt one person I know
who hasnt been touched by cancer in
one way or another. Everywhere I go,
I hear of someone else who has just
been diagnosed with cancer or is going
through treatments or has just fnished
treatments, said Lyle.
Lyles dedication to this ride and her
fundraiser is clear; her success in rais-
ing funds for her to ride in this event is
in the hands of people who choose to
donate, or not.
I dont know what people what
makes people donate to one thing rath-
er than another, as long as they come
out and buy burgers and donate then
its helping to fnd a cure, said Lyle.
