Thousands of people across southern
Alberta had been evacuated from their
homes last week as the rivers raged be-
ginning on June 20. This week those who
are allowed in are assessing the damage
and trying to fgure out what to do now.
In Siksika, as with High River and other
hard hit areas, the situation quickly went
out of control, and many residents were
forced to leave everything behind.
We thought we had time to get out and
be able to pack up something but as it
turned out the water decided it was going
to come faster than anyone had predict-
ed. So we just grabbed the most useless
things, said Muriel Kirby, a resident of the
Siksika community the fats on June 24.
She said they werent quite thinking
that it would get as bad as it did and
her daughter grabbed a recipe book, but
didnt think to grab any clothes a thought
that hit her later.
After the food hit people on the First
Nations reserve were upset to fnd out
there wasnt any media coverage on their
situation, though areas affected around
them, like the Hidden Valley Golf Resort,
were being highlighted.
These are peoples summer homes, but
these are our permanent homes. I think
thats whats upsetting the people here,
said Kirby.
Kirby said one thing that will always
stand out in her mind is the image of her
two-year-old great-granddaughter who
was in her nightgown, gumboots and little
jacket running through water, she didnt
know where she was running to, but
she was running for her life to the truck,
splashing around in the dark.
Kirby and her family had moved things
up when they got word they would have
to evacuate, thinking that would keep
their valuables safe from the water. Her
son and granddaughter have bedrooms
downstairs and the water came in so fast
they lost everything.
I was in the food in 2005 but it didnt
go up that high, it was maybe knee deep.
But this time...we put valuable things up
but we didnt think (it would be so bad)
so everything went under, said Kirby.
She had mementos from her late hus-
band and her son, whom she had just lost,
that were left behind in the house. She
had thought she was saving them by put-
ting them up high. Other families in her
little community of six houses have also
lost nearly everything.
When word frst came about the evacu-
ation, Kirbys frst thought was to save her
dogs, which she managed to do. One of
her dogs had died that morning and she
recalled trying to dig a grave before leav-
ing but wasnt able to; her kids have been
joking with her since that she cares more
about saving the dogs than them.
It was around 5 a.m. on Friday, June 21
when her daughter called and said the
water was already in the yard. She rushed
home, but it was too late to save anything.

We had to drive out and leave every-
thing behind, all we could do was stand
at the end of the driveway crying, said
Kirby.
We couldnt fathom how fast the
(water) came in and how high it came.
You see patio furniture foating by and
that and what can you do. Were just
taking it day by day because we dont
know whats happening.
The people in our community, ev-
eryone thought they were safe so they
were putting things high in their base-
ments, moving everything up so at least
theyre above the water, but the water
had a different idea, it flled the base-
ments and then it moved up towards
the upstairs. Its heart breaking but
what else can we do except to move
on, try and rebuild what we can.
Where the water had gone down on
her yard she could see a lot of mud and
silt left in its place. Other peoples items
are caught in her trees and in her yard.
I have a big gas tank in my yard that
smashed up my fower beds, its wedged
there. Ive got a big; its a 16-foot may-
be 20-foot telephone post in my yard
wedged up against my lilacs. Some of
my bales are in my yard. Theres a lot
to clean, said Kirby.
On June 26 Kirby stated that she had
been to her house and that everything
is gone. They are now homeless.
Donna Weasel Chief is staying with
her sister, and she said their family pets
are stressed and wont eat. The power
hadnt been shut off as of June 23.
On June 20 a letter had been sent to
residents saying to move items from
their basements to the main foors, and
that people would be along later to
help them sandbag. Weasel Chief said
this never happened, and on Friday
they had to leave with no time to gath-
er anything but a change of clothes.
Christine Little Chiefs three-year-old
little granddaughter was seen running
to the truck in her jammies, petrifed.
They are just material things, we still
have each other, and our people have
always survived by coming together
and keeping a sense of humor, said
Weasel Chief.
Christine Little Chief is the Elder in
the Flats, she just turned 77 on May 18,
and they had to take a boat out to res-
cue her two dogs. She lived with her
daughter and granddaughter, and is
upset with the lack of media coverage.
She is very saddened and frustrated
with the Alberta government.
The lack of initial support is a source
of discontent for many who are won-
dering why there was no news, and
no help for them. Since word spread
about the situation in Siksika, support
has poured in with donations of food,
clothes, toiletries, and in-kind services.
There is a fund set up for cash dona-
tions through Bank of Montreal called
the Siksika Nation Relief Find.
Anyone with questions regarding
donations and volunteering can call
403-734-5315. Donations can also be
dropped off at the Deerfoot Sportsplex.

After sending a jet boat and two fre-
fghters to Burns Lake, B.C. on June 18,
the team had to be called back the next
day, as the Strathmore Fire Department
dispatched a boat and three four-per-
son teams to High River for 36 straight
hours of rescue.
Basically, they abandoned their cars
in the streets. There were cars with
their headlights on, wipers still going.
It was chaos, is what it was, said Fire
Chief Muir Furzer.
Whereas Calgary had roughly 10
hours to evacuate, High River was
only given a 12-minute warning of the
foodwaters. The Strathmore Fire De-
partment was frst on the scene, sav-
ing people trapped in their homes and
from the tops of their cars. The military
later arrived, followed by the RCMP.
Ive never been part of a huge food-
ing or seen anything like that before,
said Firefghter Mark Romaniuk. I end-
ed up sitting with one of the victims.
We just started talking, and we said to
each otherit doesnt matter if your
house is worth $2 million or you live
in an apartment, youre still getting the
exact same care.
Romaniuk was working in a team
with a High River Fire Department
member, and a private diver, to try and
assist those in need.
It was hectic. It was defnitely an eye
opener. For me, it put into perspective
on what you have in your life, and they

just lost it all, he said.
Strathmore Fire also aided Siksika
and Carseland to help those trapped
along the Bow River, but had to turn
away assisting in Black Diamond and
Bragg Creek.
We had multiple requests, and we
had to turn requests down - we just
didnt have enough resources, said
Furzer. We prioritize our calls and ba-
sically just disperse the frefghters and
the equipment to where the priorities
were needed.
The department is still on standby for
Medicine Hat and Drumheller, but as
these places had time to plan, it is likely
they will be fne.
The biggest thing is your level of
training and equipment, said Deputy
Fire Chief, Terry Desserre.
Furzer added: Were doing our job,
going out and helping, assisting people
in need, who are in trouble.
To support all of the citizens affected,
the Town of Strathmore will be selling
Southern Alberta Flood Relief Fund
buttons on Canada Day for $5 each.
Also, Mayor Steve Grajczyk is organiz-
ing a team to hold a roast beef dinner
in High River this Saturday.
On behalf of myself and my fellow
counsellors, our heartfelt sorrow goes
out to all the food victims, especially to
the families who have lost loved ones,
Mayor Grajczyk said. We will continue
to do all we can to help.

Although major news chains focused
on urban areas, anything along estab-
lished riverbed areas were hit by food-
ing this past weekend, with evacuations
beginning in Calgary on June 20.
Hidden Valley Golf Resort (HVGR)
manager Dick Burgess said he started
evacuations on Friday, June 21. HVGR is
no stranger to foods and Burgess said
they have an established emergency re-
action plan for the Resort. He said no
one came from the County or the Re-
serve to coordinate efforts with him,
but people were directed to the Siksika
and Gleichen emergency shelters if they
needed accommodation.
You can plan all you want but when
it hits you really are working by the seat
of your pants, said Burgess, who suc-
cessfully evacuated the resort with no
casualties of any kind.
Burgess said part of his role is to
monitor the weather conditions and
consult with Environment Alberta. See-
ing the imminent food risk, he called a
residents meeting June 19 and prepared
residents for the emergency evacuation
horn, indicating they should get out.
There are 300 cabins, with a possibil-
ity of 1,200 people needing assistance.
Burgess said they checked the gate reg-
istry and went door to door to ensure
everyone was out.
The water is up to the rooftops. You
can see some of the second story build-
ings, said Burgess. This really is my
only residence for most of the year and
there are about 30 others in the same
predicament.
He said it was defnitely worse than
the 2005 fooding, with water levels
about 10 feet deep in the resort.. Alberta
Environment indicated that the water
had crested, pending no more rain and
water released from dams and spillways.
The resort built a berm and regularly
employs sandbags to keep the water out,
however these measures did not stem
the force of the water coming in. Bur-
gess said Alberta Environment staff said
the height gauges that monitor the river
were all knocked out in the fooding.
However, they could measure its speed.
Normally, water fow for the river is less
than 1500 cubic meters per second and
Alberta Environment said the speed of
the river fow has increased to 5300 cu-
bic meters per second. Instead of acting
as a dyke, the berm is now creating a
water dam.
Its created a kind of fsh bowl that
we will have to pump out, when this all
subsides, said Burgess.
All of the cabin area is submerged and
as of Sunday, water was entering the
club house with areas of the golf course
submerged or turned into water courses.
.Parts of Highway 842 and several en-
trances to the resort are blocked. The
Arrowwood and Carseland bridges were
washed out and it is expected it will be a
couple months before they are repaired.
Burgess is asking people to monitor
the website www.hvgr.ca, where he is
posting updates everyday by 1:00 pm.
He said it will reduce the number of calls
that he is receiving. He said it will be at
least a week before anyone can enter the
resort and maybe longer, depending on
wheather there is more rain and there
are complications in restoration and re-
covery efforts. The power and water has
been shut off and Burgess said there
may be sewage backup, but he wont
know until they can safely do some
site evaluations. The cabins tenancy
contracts expire at the end of this year,
with no possibility of renewal. There is
speculation that some in Hidden Valley
will not attempt to restore damage from
the food. Overland fooding insurance
is not available anywhere in Canada, so
it is expected there will be some disas-
ter relief funds available from provincial
and federal sources. Traditionally, the
hardest hit areas receive relief frst.
Hidden Valley submerged by food
Top: Siksika residents were hit hard by the fooding, with many people leaving with only the posses-
sions they could carry. Areas in Little Chicago, South Camp and Washington were evacuated. Bottom
Left: The Bow River overfowed its banks at Wyndham-Carseland Provincial Park. Part of the park that
was accessible by road and a popular sports fshing area is now an island. Right: Like a symbol of
aboriginal strength, traditional teepees remain standing against the onslaught of the river water.

Although the timing was off in relation to the disastrous fooding in Calgary and area, this trip had been
planned for quite some time.
There were fve students who were the recipients of this trip to Vancouver: Alex Glydon, Sarah MacDon-
ald, Mack Beech, Nick Prasad and Robert Jacobs. These students were chosen by teachers who felt that they
deserved a reward for the hard work and dedication they put into their studies and their enthusiasm towards
school is exceptional. Three of these students are from Strathmore High School and two are from Holy Cross
Collegiate. Mrs. Carver was the teacher chosen to come along as a chaperon and she did a great job!
At 9:00 am we departed in Don Murrays CJ3 jet from his private airstrip. It took us approximately one
hour and ten minutes to get to Vancouver. We landed at the Millionaires Club which is a private jet setters
club to fnd a nine passenger Cadillac SUV waiting for us. We drove downtown Vancouver and went out for
breakfast, then made our way to English Bay to get on a Harbour Tour for an hour which was extremely infor-
mative. From here we took a taxi to the False Creek ferry which is a little 9 passenger tub boat and was quite
neat to travel on. We spent the greater part of our afternoon on Granville Island where the students wandered
around various shops. We saw fute players and a performer on a ten foot high unicycle. Alex Glydon was
even a participant in this act!
We all enjoyed fsh and chips for dinner (which wasnt cheap I might add), and then Don Murray picked us
up and drove us down to East Hastings where the students got to see the devastating effects of drug and alco-
hol abuse. We saw drug dealers and people drinking alcohol and shooting up drugs. This was an eye opening
experience for the students and they got to see what happens when alcohol is abused and drugs are used.
After our East Hastings experience, we moved on to China Town and Gasoline Alley. We made our way
back to the jet and said goodbye to Vancouver. It took us one hour and 17 minutes to get home. Im not sure
why it took longer on the way back because we were traveling downhill! LOL. We arrived home at 8:30. What
a great day this was! The students were very fun and pleasurable to spend the day with.
THE COSTS INCURRED ON THIS TRIP WAS PAID FOR BY DON MURRAY AND FAMILY AND
HARRISON GRAY AND THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO COSTS TO THE TOWN OF STRATH-
MORE.
A big thanks to Principals Gary Reagan and Lavern Evans for making this trip a successful one.

Where Quality of Life is A Way of Life Sharon McLeay

Extreme rainfall, occurring over the
last week, created historic food condi-
tions throughout central and southern
Alberta and it has tested and proved
emergency response plans, set up to
meet natural disaster situations within
the province. Twenty four communities
were evacuated by coordinated efforts
from municipal, provincial, federal and
military teams.
The events unfolding here today are
from planned responses to these types
of situations, said Health Minister Fred
Horne, and he attributed an emergency
plans success to the selfess efforts of
all the emergency responders involved.
Minister Doug Griffths said that an
effective disaster response plan re-
quires cooperation between all depart-
ments within municipalities and the
different levels of government. He said
positive results are achieved when the
public respond cooperatively with di-
rection given by crews, during the evac-
uation process.
Griffths said he was encouraged by
the overwhelming offers for assistance
by neighbouring municipalities, not yet
affected by the event, and other levels
of government cooperating to ensure
the safety of Albertans. Fire and Emer-
gency medical workers worked through
fooded areas making sure people were
evacuated and taken to safe facilities.
The military had responded by sending
1300 members, with100 engineers and
400 members deployed to communi-
ties at the ground level. Reservists were
called in on Saturday.
One hundred police offcers came
from Edmonton to help with policing.
Emergency generators and equipment
were integrated into response efforts as
needed. Utility crews worked tirelessly
to ensure citizen safety, shutting down
power and gas in evacuated areas.
Many roads and highways were
closed due to fooding and damage.
Initially, the public was asked to help
by staying out of affected areas, and not
putting themselves in danger. The com-
munity, family and friends responded
by opening homes for temporary shel-
ter. Shelters were opened for those
who had no other accommodation op-
tions. The humane society and animal
shelters were taking pets, with a good
volunteer response by other agencies,
which had space for additional animals.
The Red Cross set up a 24-hour emer-
gency registration and inquiry call cen-
tre for evacuees and family members:
1-866-696-6484
Griffths said lessons were learned
from the 2011 Slave Lake fre disaster
and expected many practises learned
there will be useful in reclamation and
restoration efforts of communities here,
once the emergency alert levels decline.
Griffths anticipated that volunteers
from the community will be needed at
that time, to restore homes and busi-
nesses back to normal.
Both Premier Redford and Prime Min-
ister Steven Harper viewed damaged
areas and indicated resources would be
available to enable Albertans to recover
from the damages. Once waters recede,
assessments will be conducted and in-
formation about disaster relief funds
will be available.
We are resilient and we come to-
gether. We are tough, said Premier Ali-
son Redford.
Stay optimistic, stay patient and we
will get through all this, said Prime
Minister Harper.
Good emergency response to fooding
Wendi TaShLikoWich
Times Contributor

The Deerfoot Sportsplex in Siksika has become a safe hav-
en for over 600 registered residents who have become victims
of the food that ripped through the community beginning on
June 21.
The food has devastated and displaced over 1,000 residents.
We urge family members and friends to make sure if they
were affected to come and register, the support these families
will need is going to be ongoing and not just immediate, ex-
plains Romeo Crow Chief, media representative in charge of
relief centre at the Sportsplex.
Crow Chief has been one of the many instrumental organiz-
ers of the Sportsplex rescue facility. All affected locations have
been recorded on a master list. In order to register you must
give your address, and then the procedure is quite easy. The
Alberta Animal Rescue Crew (AARC) have set up a help table
and have been working 24 hours a day since the evacuations,
to help, locate family pets and stranded farm animals.
Upstairs is a nurses station and medic room where they
have been helping people refll lost essential prescriptions,
providing treatment for exhaustion, grief counselling, as well
as whatever else that has been thrown their way.
There is a fully staffed kitchen, a supply table where victims
can get the essentials that are now lost to them such as dia-
pers, clothes and shoes.
The cots and resting areas are private and you cannot enter
unless you are registered. Most of the families left their homes
late Thursday or early Friday. Many have managed to fnd
shelter with friends and family, and there are lots who have
come to the shelter, but many are camping close to their lost
homes, because they cant make it to the shelter.
We have been sending trailers full of supplies to what we
are calling the North Camp (north of the river), but it takes
two hours to get these supplies to these people because both
bridges are out and we have to go through Brooks or Calgary
to get them there, says Crow Chief.
What they are calling the North Camp (north of the river)
was hit frst by the foodwaters, followed shortly by the South
Camp (south side of the river). With over 300 volunteers com-
posed of the community members, as well as people from sur-
rounding surrounding communities and Calgary, residents are
still feeling overwhelmed by their current state of emergency.
Residents are frustrated, scared, lost and uncertain about
what the near future holds for them. They watch their houses
day in and day out still under water. The water has been shut
off to a lot of the residences but the power is still running
through some of the submerged houses.
The people of Siksika are a strong group, and with strong
support in the community and surrounding communities, and
residents hope their community family can pull through this
and still remain positive. The Bank of Montreal has set up
a Siksika Nation Relief Fund, for anyone who would like to
make a contribution. Donations are still pouring into the back
entrance of the facility, and the contents are being sorted into
the arenas change rooms.
Anyone with questions regarding donations and volunteer-
ing can call 403-734-5315. Donations can also be dropped off
at the Deerfoot Sportsplex.
Flood donations pour in for Siksika

Donations began to pour in to Siksika Nation after the devasting food last weekend. Far right: Romeo Crow Chief, media representative in charge of relief
centre at The Sportsplex, has been working non-stop and has been instrumental in organizing things. He is standing in front of one of the trailers that is
flled with supplies to go to the North Camp.
many local businesses stepped up to the
plate to help support the food victims in Sik-
sika Nation. Businesses like Bangles (top),
Byron Smith Ford (bottom), Noosa Beach,
Ripperz and Runway Hair Salon came to-
gether to collect, volunteer and send relief to
Siksika Nation.

Crystals father, Chris Clausen, moved
from Idaho to Rumsey, just north of
Drumheller in early 1913. Her mother
Eulalie Kennedy moved there from Bis-
mark, North Dakota the same year. Her
father got a job with United Grain Grow-
ers (UGG), and went to the Clausen farm
to help with haying. This is where he
met his bride-to-be, and Chris and Eu-
lalie were married on Dec. 17, 1913. They
fled for homestead rights in 1914, and
started farming together. This marriage
produced fve daughters, and Crystal was
the fourth one, born in 1923. She grew
up and took all her schooling through to
Grade 12 in Rumsey. One of her sisters
Helen married a Don Primrose. At
the wedding Crystal met Glen Primrose,
Dons brother, and they were married
in 1942. This wedding has produced six
children (fve daughters and one son),
who in turn have given 18 grandchildren,
27 great-grandchildren, and one great-
great-grandchild.
After serving in the Canadian Armed
Forces R.C.E.M.E. in World War 2, Glen
worked for BP Oil, mainly in Lac La-
biche, Alberta, and Crystal worked as a
book-keeper in various
places, depending on
where Glen was work-
ing.
After Glen retired in
the late 1980s, they
travelled to Mesa, AZ
for the winter, and fol-
lowing their move to
Strathmore in 2002,
they started driving to
Lac La Biche to visit
family and friends.
Crystal told me that
when they moved here,
their main goal was to
be able to walk to the
shops and banks, and in 2002 this was
possible. This is why they chose a home
near downtown. But, now everything is
moving out of downtown to be closer to
the highway. Crystal questions why there
is no transportation to the new location
of these stores?
Downtown will soon be a ghost town,
unless businesses can be found to fll
the empty buildings. She advised that
in 2002, the Alberta
Government promised
the Strathmore Hospi-
tal Extension would be
built within fve years.
Now, eight years later,
it hasnt been built, and
in fact the project has
been cancelled!
They celebrated their
65th Wedding Anniver-
sary in 2007, and re-
gretfully Glen passed
away in May 2008.
Their community ac-
tivities saw them as
staunch members of
The Royal Canadian Legion in Lac La Bi-
che, but this ceased after Glens death.
Crystal has always been a strong member
of the United Church and UCW.
The small town they moved to is no
more. Its getting too big.

Justin ezekiel presented a favorite piece of

Brentwood elementary recently implemented
a new lunchtime program for its students.
A student from each grade is chosen each
month to participate in an appreciation lunch
with a family member of their choice. The
student picks out a piece of work that they
are especially proud of and shares it with
their schoolmates and their family members.
The program is meant to help students build
self-confdence by presenting in front of other
people. it also benefts the parents, by keep-
ing them actively involved in their childs edu-
cation. After the student has presented their
work, they enjoy cookies and juice with their
table-mates. By the end of the school year
each student will have had a turn to partake in
this enjoyable lunchtime.

Parliamentary Report
I am looking forward to meeting many
constituents over the summer after a very
productive Session of Parliament. Our
Conservative government has been gov-
erning with a strong mandate and a ma-
jority of votes in the House of Commons
for just over two years. As I attend many
events around our Crowfoot riding, I will
be talking about the work my colleagues
and I are accomplishing on behalf of Ca-
nadian taxpayers and workers trying to
raise their families.
We have helped
create over one mil-
lion jobs in Canada
since the depths of
the recent global
economic recession
the best job cre-
ation record among
G-7 countries. We
have recovered
more than the busi-
ness investment
lost during the re-
cession. Canada is
the only G-7 na-
tion with a Triple-A
credit rating. Our policies will continue
to focus on jobs, economic growth, and
long-term economic prosperity for Cana-
dians.
Again this summer, Members of Parlia-
ment will be returning to their ridings
with a full slate of work, programs and
services made possible by the policies
that we have implemented that will help
frms large and small drive local econo-
mies. The successful Hiring Tax Credit
has been extended for another year; ap-
prentices are receiving unprecedented
support; lists of work available and com-
prehensive job postings are being made
available directly to unemployed Canadi-
ans; tax relief is available for investments
in new machinery and equipment; hun-
dreds of millions of dollars are available
for research, science and technology ef-
forts; and more, including the launch of
the Building Canada Fund with over $53
billion to build and improve roads, bridg-
es and other infrastructure the largest
ever investment in infrastructure in Can-
adas history.
Our plans to eliminate the federal gov-
ernments annual budgetary defcit in
2015 are on track as we are making gov-
ernment more effcient and closing tax
loopholes, cutting red tape and requir-
ing government regulations to be com-
municated to businesses in clear, plain
language. Nearly 11,000 public sector
jobs are being eliminated through attri-
tion and under the collectively bargained
workforce adjustment.
Even our agriculture industry is being
strengthened by the policies we have
worked on since early in 2013. Many of
us in our Crowfoot riding will use these
measures. Growing Forward 2 has $3 bil-
lion in cost-sharing investment to help
agriculture businesses develop innova-
tive practices. Securing new trade and ex-
panding existing trade with other nations
is something that you have all heard me
talk about a great deal since 2006. Our
Conservative government will continue to
work on providing even more trade op-
portunities for our agricultural producers.
We are wasting no time getting things
done to ensure that we can build a strong,
safe and prosperous Canada. I look for-
ward to sharing the details of our efforts
with my constituents this summer.

Parliament rises for summer
Letters to the editor
To the Editor
Re - this is a follow-up to the letter to the editor I
submitted last week regarding downtown revitalization.
My main points were to encourage the people of Strath-
more to embrace the diversity of Strathmores economy
and not pit downtown businesses against highway busi-
nesses, to visualize what a ring road around Strathmore
would look like (much like Calgarys Stoney Trail) and
note that businesses wont be encouraged to relocate
along the freeway, and to see how well positioned
Strathmore is to continue to be a thriving community
in the future.
In this letter I would like to submit my ideas for
downtown revitalization.
I would encourage anyone with a computer to look
up Walkability and visit the website walkscore.com. As
you will see, Strathmores downtown has unlimited po-
tential to be marketed as an eminently walkable neigh-
bourhood. Most modern neighbourhoods are designed
to control the fow of vehicle traffc; there is a main
artery that feeds off into branches, which then turn into
quiet cul-de-sacs, crescents, and circles. These modern
communities are perfect for individuals and families
whose primary mode of transportation is vehicular. The
downside is that they are diffcult for pedestrians.
What makes for a great walkable neighbourhood?
Old-school grid style streets, limited parking, parks,
clustered businesses and amenities, schools, workplac-
es, and affordable, mixed housing options. As you can
see, Strathmores downtown already possesses all the el-
ements that so many city planners are trying to emulate
throughout the world.
Here are some statistics cited on the walkscore.com
website: Walkability offers surprising benefts to our
health, the environment, our fnances, and our com-
munities. Health: The average resident of a walkable
neighborhood weighs 6-10 pounds less than someone
who lives in a sprawling neighborhood. Cities with good
public transit and access to amenities promote happi-
ness. Environment: 82 per cent of CO2 emissions are
from burning fossil fuels. Your feet are zero-pollution
transportation machines. Finances: Cars are the second
largest household expense in the U.S. One point of Walk
Score is worth up to $3,000 of value for your property.
Communities: Studies show that for every 10 minutes
a person spends in a daily car commute, time spent
in community activities falls by 10 per cent. They say
Drive less. Live more. (Cant you hear it? Drive less, live
more, in Strathmore!)
So, how to lead the charge? I would love to see the
Town of Strathmore create some small parks in the
downtown that are places for people to gather, desti-
nations to walk to, and amenities for the residents of
downtown. I think a great place to break some ground
would be the empty lot where (I think it was called)
Strathmore Antique Autobody used to be. Since the
SAAN store has closed, this area of downtown has need-
ed a bit of a jump start.
Here are my downtown park ideas. #1: An outdoor ft-
ness park. I could see this becoming well utilized by the
many runners and cyclists in our community. Its close
proximity to Kinsmen Park makes parking space unnec-
essary, as people will probably want to walk/run/bike
there as part of their workout. This park could be well
utilized by the entrepreneurs who put on bootcamps in
the summer. #2: A basketball court and/or skatepark. I
could see teenagers who are pre-driving age focking to
parks like these. #3 An outdoor museum. Strathmore is
the gateway to the Canadian Badlands tourism region
and should embrace our position as ambassador. I en-
courage everyone to visit the Glenbow Museum archives
website and Search the Collections in the Archives
Photographs. As you will see, there are many historic
photographs from Strathmores signifcant past at the
number one supply and demonstration farm for the CPR
(search for Muriel Genevieve McIntosh. You must see
this photograph of a 17-year-old Strathmore cowgirl).
At this downtown park, outdoor history signs and large
antiques (old farm equipment, things to do with the rail-
road) could make for a really interesting self-directed
walking tour/outdoor museum. A great website to check
out for placemaking ideas is the Project for Public
Spaces website, www.pps.org.
I think this very visible frst step could go a long way
toward leading the downtown to embrace its new status
as a kickass walkable neighbourhood.
Another idea is for the Town to host a luncheon for
area realtors to educate them and get them excited
about walkability. A large part of the walkscore.com
website is devoted to real estate professionals. On the
site they can become a Neighbourhood Guide and add
pictures and information to be featured in Strathmores
listing (by the way, it is GREAT that Strathmore has over
10,000 residents because it just makes the cut off for
being included on the Walk Score website). Realtors can
also create Neighbourhood Tours and list apartments
and rentals on the site. If you use the MLS website real-
tor.ca, you will see that Walk Scores are already promi-
nently featured.
Once people start to embrace the downtowns as-
sets, the sky is the limit. Strathmore, the community that
moves!

Fule for Thought
Before I start this weeks column, there are a
few odd things I need to get off my chest. First off,
if were in the express drive thru line at a fast
food restaurant, it typically means were in a hurry.
Otherwise, we would have gone inside, lined up,
and ordered food that way. If you have a van full
of kids and proceed to ask what each kid wants
while youre at the drive thru speaker, the fast
food description becomes ironic.
I know I sound bitter, but heres an idea. Have
the kids choices decided on before you get into
the busy one-lane drive-thru!
I (and others) were stuck behind someone who
took orders from each kid at the speaker it took
forever! You could tell one of the kids was chang-
ing his mind, because the driver kept looking back
to the same kid! If only there were turn-outs where
you could get out of the drive thru! But no, I was
trapped (like my fellow inmates in this drive thru
from hell!)
Another thing that drives me crazy in a drive
thru lane is the one person in the lane whos been
sent by some whole offce staff or work crew to
pick up lunches. Again, a drive thru lane is for
getting quick meals and be on your way. Its not
designed for you to be the caterer for a staff of 10!
I dont know how I fnd these people, but again
I was stuck behind a driver, who read from a list
of what I can only assume, was for various sub
orders for a small army. I tried to be patient, but
I have a limited lunch time (about half an hour)
so I waited. And waited and waited some
more. Now, I dont know about you, but I start do-
ing subtle things when Ive gone past my patient
time.
Now some of these may sound dumb, but you
reach a point where, like water-boarding, youve
been tortured enough! I clicked on my headlights
nothing. I put my van in park so that it revved
a little higher nothing. I reached out my hand
through my window, hoping this movement might
speed things up still nothing! Just when I was
about to bail, and fast for lunch, the driver pulled
ahead. Of course as soon as I got to the speaker, I
was asked to wait for this order to be flled! More
waiting! Luckily, I got back to school just before
the bell rang!
Recently, my daughter had an appendectomy.
She was taken to the Peter Loughheed Hospital for
this operation, and Deb went on the ambulance
ride with Breanne. I got there later, and we waited
with her tests, and for the operation time to be f-
nalized. Now, there are signs all over the hospital,
but especially in areas for patients being admitted.
Many of these cute, little signs tell us to have our
cell phones turned off something about inter-
fering with medical devices. You would think that
people would logically follow these notices, but
no, they just have to be on their cells even when
they have a sign telling them not to, and its right
in front of them! To me, its unbelievable, and I
even wondered what Id do, if one of Breannes
medical devices was screwed up by their phones!
Really, about 15 years ago, these things werent
even able to be used everywhere because of no
signals, but now in a hospital, you have to use
it? What, are you the surgeon, checking with col-
leagues on a new appendectomy procedure? No,
youre probably playing some farm game on Face-
book! Argggh!
I had a student in the spring who passed me in
the hall saying, I cant believe you failed me in
gym, Mr.Fule!
My response was, I didnt fail you, your 20 ab-
sences, seven lates, not changing for classes, and
not getting any service hours failed you.
It was like it was my fault this student failed, as
if I sat back scheming how to make sure it would
happen! I wanted this student to pass, but he
would only take part in gym if we were playing
certain sports! Uh, sorry, but in life, you dont get
to do only the things you like to do! And this class
wasnt even a required one, the students chose to
be in there. So, if you hate P.E., and P.E. 10 is the
only required P.E. class you have to take to gradu-
ate, why take the next level, hate it some more, not
take part because you do hate it, and then fail. I do
not understand this logic!
I know this wasnt the usual light column, but
lately some things have really driven me crazy, and
I had to vent! Hopefully, the worst of the fooding
is over, and people can start to slowly get back
their lives. Oh, and if you need to vent in a dif-
ferent way, come on down to the dunk tank on
July 1, and fre some balls to get me, or any other
volunteer soaked, come on out and work on your
fastball!

To the Editor
As the school year closes for another season, I
would like the opportunity to speak to kids today who
have spent this year being bullied. There are a couple
things I want you to know frst of all! It is not your
fault that a person or persons have chosen you to be
the brunt of their anger and frustration. We all have
the right to an education, to have friends and to have
people respect us for our differences.
Please dont spend this summer replaying all the
mean things they have said to you and accept those
things as fact. We all have a right to be ourselves even
if it is not well received by others. We have all been
created to enjoy this planet and love one another, and
bullying does not ft into that description.
We have all been created fearfully and wonderfully.
In other words, you are not a mistake and you are im-
portant! No matter what other people say to you, they
cannot take away your soul! Be strong! Take time this
summer to fnd out who you are, be all that you are
and be proud of it!
So keep that in mind as you try to repair the dam-
age that has been done to your heart this school year.
Think about this: even if you tried to speak to teach-
ers, principals, other adults - and they did nothing but
turn the other way - you still have a voice. Your voice
needs to be one of encouragement. To yourself and to
others! You need to have a faith, someone to lift you
up when there is no-one else. Be the change you want
to see. Stand up for what you believe in and help oth-
ers that have been in your situation (you know best
how it feels). Be all that you have been created to be
and dont ever let anyone tell you that you are less
than you have been created to be! You have been cre-
ated for a purpose. Spend the summer fnding that
purpose and live for it!

Movie under the stars
Sacred Heart Academy held a fundraising movie Under The Stars on June 6. The turn-
out was phenomenal, and the friends and families enjoyed a BBQ, face painting, air tat-
toos, and of course popcorn and a movie. Parent Council and volunteers worked hard
to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and all the money raised will be going into
their new playgrounds equipment.

Strathmore Times Publisher mario Prusina (l-r) presents the Strathmore
Times Class Act award to Grade 12 student Jenna Gigantelli, with SHS
teacher Pat Fule on June 10. The award is given annually to a graduat-
ing student who has extraordinary accomplishments outside of academics,
such as sciences, arts, or music, and has a high quality of character.

Each year there are students that stand out for their teach-
er. While it would be nice to recognize the accomplishments
of all for everything they do, one student is picked at the
end of the school year to receive the Strathmore Times Class
Act award.
The student who will leave with the Class Act designation
must have an average mark of 70 per cent of higher, they
must have accomplishments outside of academics, and they
must have a sense of character that people look up to and
can respect.
This years recipient of the Strathmore Times Class Act for
Strathmore High School (SHS) is Jenna Gigantelli. She has
been a member of SHS rugby team for the past three years,
where she was nominated as the players player for the third
year. She completed her 10th season of ringette this year,
was on the Honour Roll at SHS, has been a member of both
the Student Leadership Council and the Strathmore Assem-
bly for Youth and was president of the Leo club, to name just
a few of her ventures.
I like being involved and keeping busy, being around oth-
er people, experiencing new things and learning from those
experiences. It cant hurt to be involved and help out in the
community, said Gigantelli.
This year she found her grades dropped a little due to all
of the activities she did take on, but it is not something she
regrets.
I think all in all it was defnitely worth it to be able to do
everything, I had to take time off of work so its nice to get
some scholarships so I can make up for that, said Gigantelli.
She has been accepted into Simon Fraser University in
Burnaby for a Bachelor in Arts and Linguistics. After gradua-
tion she plans to look into a career in speech pathology. She
also plans to remain an active member of her community
wherever that may be.
By being a part of so many groups and organizations, Gig-
antelli feels she has grown as a person and has learned skills
that she will be able to take with her throughout her life.

For the last couple of years there has been talk about wid-
ening two intersections in the town so that people turning
may do so easier. This year there was an expansion done
at the north side of Westmount school. Now two vehicles
can approach 817, and one will be able to turn north and
the other south, without causing backups like had previously
been seen.
The intersection by Super 8, Westlake Road, is still a prob-
lem. Administration has looked into the costs of adding the
expansion and have determined it would cost approximately
$48,000 to add in a turning lane.
I have been in a traffc jam there and if you have any kind
of a big truck and you want to turn right you cant so traf-
fc backs up past the entrance to the strip mall where the
Roadhouse restaurant is so I think the right turn widening
could do a lot, there a lot of big trucks in that area too, said
Councillor Pat Fule.
As far as if we do it this year and fnd it money for it, or
next council puts it on the 2014 budget, I think it should be
done fairly soon because it is a busy intersection.
A motion was made to recommend the project for the 2014
budget.
AsphAlt And concrete milling
The town has been collecting asphalt from roadways and
concrete materials at a yard south of the recycle yard. In the
2013 budget there is an operating budget of $110,000 for
the milling of these materials, but with an estimated 25,000
tonnes in the pile to be milled, there were concerns the bud-
get would not be enough and an increase was requested.
At this time council has chosen to mill only up to the origi-
nal budget. Tenders had gone out previously, and so a motion
was made by Councillor Bob Sobol to award the project to
Fish Creek Excavating at a rate of $6.95 per tonne. Fish Creek
will be contacted and told that the Town is milling to a ton-
nage that refects the budget of $110,000. The company may
then retract their bid if they chose to do so due to the change
in the tender.
chAmber of commerce updAte
Councillor Dave Hamilton said there have been questions
in regards to the Chamber of Commerce and he wanted to
clear a few things up for council. Presently there is a bank
balance of $10,726 in the account and 113 paid members
for 2013. The Chamber is constantly approaching new busi-
nesses to join. They have also set up a parade committee,
and there is a new receptionist/secretary that is at the offce
three days a week, manning the front desk and answering
questions.
council questions
Councillor Rocky Blokland read a statement he had pre-
pared about concerns regarding the Chamber; he feels that

Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wa), is the only
plant food that contains all ten essential amino
acids. Quinoa is actually a seed of a grain-like
crop related to beets. It cooked like rice and is
a nutritionally-sound food source to add to your
diet.
The Mediterranean diet seems to be the best
for a long healthy life. Imagine a pyramid with
the widest bottom part listing fruits, vegetables,
grains, olive oil, beans, nuts legumes and seeds
(like quinoa). The next level up contains fsh and
seafood. Above that is poultry, eggs, cheese and
yogurt. And at the very top and smallest part of
the pyramid: meats and sweets.
Our kidneys job is to flter our blood. They
flter about 40 gallons of fuid every day. They
hold back substances your body needs and lets
the rest go out in the urine. High blood pressure
or diabetes can damage the kidneys and if not
controlled can result in kidney failure.
During the hot days of summer, its important to
keep hydrated. About 90% of our bodys cooling
comes from the evaporation of sweat from our
skin. During heavy exertion in hot weather, we
can lose two or more litres of water in an hour.
Keep your water consumption up to prevent
dehydration.
There are many summer ailments that can make
our lives miserable. It may be sunburn, allergies,
poison ivy, insect bites or simple diarrhea from
eating too much fruit. Our pharmacists are al-
ways available for advice on the best treatment.

In the past council and administra-
tion have talked in great length about
sewer rates and what options are avail-
able, and at the June 19 regular council
meeting fve options were presented.
Weve put a lot of time on this look-
ing at various alternatives. Mel and my-
self have looked at all of these options,
trying to fgure out which would be the
easiest, which would be the best, said
Chief Administrative Offcer Dwight
Stanford.
Were saying that none of them are
perfect, none of them are even close
to being perfect, but probably the way
were doing it right now is probably the
best.
The best for who? Certainly not the
people, said Councillor Earl Best who
wanted to have options three and four
looked at further.
If were not sewer averaging, what
were doing during the summer (is)
when people are watering their lawn,
were billing for services not rendered.
Option one is to have a second meter
installed to measure the water used for
outside irrigation. The water used then
wouldnt have a variable sanitary sewer
levy applied on the monthly billing, but
the home owner would be responsible
for the cost of the new meter, $284, plus
the plumber and cost of installation.
Option two would be to bill customer
a fat monthly rate. The rate would be
$41 for residential, and would not pro-
vide any incentive to conserve water.
The fat rate would not include com-
mercial services.
Option three is to provide the cus-
tomer with the opportunity to make an
application for a summer water sewer
averaging credit in the fall, after the
watering season. For example, the cus-
tomer would receive $25 if they can
prove they practiced water conserva-
tion through the use of low fush toi-
lets, rain barrels and an energy effcient
front load washing machine.
Option four would be implementing
sewer averaging, and option fve would
be to maintain the same method being
presently used, which is a fxed rate up
until a certain amount of water is used.
I have been a proponent of lower
sewer ratesI dont know where to go
with this, I would still like to see our
sewer rates lower but when we look at
this it indicates we should be increas-
ing it. Im at a loss as to what to do,
said Councillor John Rempel.
Currently 51 per cent of residen-
tial billing revenue is from the fxed
monthly charge, and approximately 60
per cent of the sewer expenses are of a
fxed nature.
The 2013 sewer utility budget has
expenses of $3,769,614 but a revenue
of only $3,391,190. If sewer averag-
ing were implemented it would be a
fnancial cost to the town of $130,000
to $140,000, depending on the weather
for the months of June to Sept.
If 100 per cent of the amount were
applied to the fat rate portion the
monthly billing fat rate would need to
increase by $2.58 per month to offset.
Sewer utility rate options hashed over at council
If the cost were applied to the variable
rate then the cost for m3 water would
increase by $.19 per m3 of water.
What bothers me is any other system
we go to is going to penalize the low
users of water and thats something that
I cannot support, said Councillor Bob
Sobol.
We have to continue in our efforts to
conserve water and having our sewer
services hooked to use of water is the
best way to do that. Its not perfect, and
no I dont like it, but its the fairest in
my opinion and I would certainly be
supporting option fve in this issue.
The discussion was accepted as in-
formation for now, and council and ad-
ministration will continue to look at all
the options.
the one in Strathmore is dysfunctional
and basically non-existent.
He wanted to know where they are
and why they are not helping keep
things alive and thriving downtown.
After attending a Downtown Beautifca-
tion Conference a number of ideas were
presented about what other communi-
ties have been doing to highlight and
promote their downtowns.
He would like to get a few answers
about what can and will be done. Coun-
cillor Dave Hamilton said that there are
some activities afoot that will hopefully
affect downtown, but because they are
in the planning stages he is not able to
discuss them at this point. He said he
would take Bloklands concerns to the
Chamber to fnd out answers to some of
his questions.

have her back scratch and will let you hold her gently
as you feed her temptation cat treats. Fern goes nuts
for canned food and treats and this has been the key
in gaining her trust with new people, as she does act
very shy when meeting someone new. Fern does ex-

May reports showed Peace Offcers
were busy last month with 56 traffc vi-
olations respectively, three overweight
tickets, one assist to another municipal-
ity, fve assists to RCMP, one fre assist,
one SPCA call, 10 animal complaints,
one noise complaint, one unsightly
premises and 10 issues requiring gen-
eral reporting.
Stg. Jeff Cyr said one animal com-
plaint was referred to the legal consul-
tant. He added they were working with
the SPCA on the spay-and-neuter pro-
gram and communications were on go-
ing with the Siksika Nation regarding
animal control.
He reported the tree that council di-
rected be cut down in a party area out-
side of Strathmore was removed, but he
was not sure if it was too early in the
season to see if it had an effect of deter-
ring the teen population. To date there
were no complaints about activity in the
area.
Cyr also reported the chemical drums
that were identifed as sitting on a coun-
ty road allowance had been removed,
leaving only water tanks and an old fuel
truck, for which no one claimed owner-
ship.
If we are making them clean up the
road allowance, then we have to go in
and clean up the rest, said Councillor
Ben Armstrong, of the remaining items.
Council directed staff to have Public
Works removed the remaining items.
Offcers continued to work on the off-
road bylaw that will come up for public
hearing. Cyr has referred it to the legal
department for consultation and ap-
proval.
The peace offcers work with the pub-
lic, and other services included interac-
tions with the Strathmore Wheatland
Addictions Team (SWAT). SWAT gave
offcers their positive ticketing materi-
als and offcers will be working with
the teens on handing these out. Cyr also
participated in the Walk a Mile in Her
Shoes campaign. He donned red high
heels in a walk to support Victim Ser-
vices.
I raised $540, and overall the cam-
paign raised over $18,000, so I think it
was worthwhile, said Cyr.
Peace offcers were asked to assist
during the Alberta Cup in Strathmore.
They wrote 11 tickets and gave four
warnings for liquor and traffc offences
We have a good liaison relationship
with them and were able to patrol in
town as well as covering our own ar-
eas, said Cyr.
Several offcers had attended training
sessions to upgrade skills essential to
their jobs.
Cyr said they are testing a new altered
shift schedule that would positively in-
fuence the amount of overtime offcers
worked. The responsibility of preap-
proval for overtime was transferred
over to the County CAO. Council previ-
ously had to approve it.

For the frst time in nine years a Strathmore
business made it into the fnals in the Chinook En-
trepreneur Challenge, a business planning compe-
tition, which wrapped up on June 12. Colleen Best
and Janet FitzGerald, owner/operators of Kindred
Companions, entered their business plan into the
competition.
Community Economic Development Coordina-
tor Carolyn McIntyre with Community Futures
Wild Rose said over the course of the nine years
there have been approximately 39 business own-
ers from this area who have entered the challenge.
The big draw to this training is just that, the
training. Theres eight weeks of free business
training, said McIntyre.
The eight weeks of training covered topics like
fnancial management, market analysis, opera-
tions management and legal advice.
The business plan is so detailed, and it is a lot
of work but at the end of it you know the ins and
outs, and even if you dont know it all at least you
know kind of where to go if you have a question,
said McIntyre.
It makes you think of questions you might not
have thought of if you had not taken the training. I
was quite thrilled to have three people submit out
of the participants we had this year.
The proposals are then submitted, judged and
whittled down to the top three fnalists. After the
three fnalists are picked they each then have to
make a presentation to the four judges, all busi-
ness experts, in sort of a Dragons Den style.
It feels really good, its quite an honour, said
FitzGerald about being the frst Strathmore busi-
ness in the fnals.
We were really fortunate that we had kind of
a bit of a base to work from. So with the classes
then we kind of fxed it, tweaked it and improved
it. It was a lot of work, said Best.
It was a really good learning experience and
it really forced Colleen and I to have some long
hard conversations about what we wanted out of
this and how we were going to get there, said
FitzGerald.
The women didnt walk away with frst place
in the challenge, but they did receive prizes as
runner up. They won $2,500 for the business and
a list of in-kind services, media services, radio ad-
vertising, business coaching and so on. They will
also be invited to attend the 10 anniversary cel-
ebrations, as will any other fnalists over the years.
Kindred Companions offers just what its name
says: companionship.
Taking care of an aging parent can be tough,
and the time isnt always there to visit with them
daily, or even weekly. Thats where the two wom-
en come in; they visit with seniors, and are also
able to update family members on how their loved
one is doing.

petition held their fnals on June 12 in Lethbridge. Colleen Best

Flood victims in Calgary
and surrounding areas:
On behalf of myself and my fellow counsellors, our heartfelt
sorrow goes out to all the food victims. Especially to the fam-
ilies who have lost loved ones. I have spoken to many of the
Mayors surrounding Calgary to wish them well and let them
know that we will be there for support for all their citizens.
We will be selling food relief buttons on Canada Day for $5
each. They say Southern Alberta Flood Relief Fund on them.
We are organizing a team to hold a Roast Beef Dinner in High
River on Saturday. We have also sent equipment down to
various places ie. boat and fretrucks and we will continue to
do all we can to help. We are asking for your moral and
emotional support in a positive and construction manner.
Tank you!

Like an island in a stream, Wheatland County
received little of the brunt of last weeks fooding
damage.
We feel very fortunate, said Erwin Braun, with
Western Irrigation District. Most of the fooding
and rain hit west of the city.
Braun said canal crews were monitoring lev-
els around Chestermere Lake because residents
were fearful waters would rise there.
Waters from Calgary were diverted at the Ches-
termere and Carseland weir. He said Calgary re-
ceived over ten inches of rain, but areas east only
received three quarters of an inch.
He said the weir is seeing historic fows and its
integrity will have to be assessed as waters sub-
side. Crews were working, but hindered some-
what by bridges and roads that were washed
away.
When asked if a canal system could divert food
waters to minimize damage, Braun said the effect
would not be enough to handle the water vol-
umes faced this week.
Braun said that WID will be offering their as-
sistance to Calgary, as restoration and recovery
efforts continue.
Braun said Speargrass and Carseland water
treatment plant experienced some trouble with
the volume of water and debris in the Bow. Coun-
ty crews switched its sourcing temporarily to the
canal system and treated water was trucked to
Gleichen, until a few wells can be utilized for
water provision. The County verifed the water is
safe for use.

Students from both Holy Cross Col-
legiate (HCC) and Strathmore High
School (SHS) took a trip of a lifetime
on June 21 when they few to Vancou-
ver by private jet.
Nick Brassad, Mack Beech and Rob-
ert Jacobs from SHS, along with Sarah
McDonald and Alex Glydon from HCC,
were picked by their teachers to go on
the trip.
They were picked because we want-
ed students who would do a good job
of representing Holy Cross. We want-
ed students who were in good stand-
ing with the school and who were also
good role models to their peers. They
were both very deserving of this op-
portunity, said HCC Principal Lavern
Evans about his two students being
picked.
The trip was organized by Mayor
Steve Grajczyk, Harrison Gray and Don
Murray, and was created as a way to
show good students who may not al-
ways be recognized that their hard
work does pay off.
Just thought it was a good idea,
people dont get to do these kinds of
thingsits a fun ride, said Murray,
who few the kids on his jet.
Its exciting to ride on a plane to
Vancouver, I dont think I have actually
ever done something like this, said Ja-
cobs.
Exciting, I dont know how else to
put it, said Beech before leaving.
Im really excited and surprised,
said McDonald. It was her frst trip to
Vancouver.
Its a real big opportunity, said
Glydon.
At 9 a.m. the students and the Mayor
left in Murrays CJ3 jet from his private
airstrip. According to Grajczyks Face-
book page the trip took an hour and
10 minutes, and they landed at the Mil-
lionaires Club to fnd a nine passenger
Cadillac SUV waiting for them.
The group then drove to downtown
Vancouver, had breakfast and went to
English Bay to go on a harbour tour.
They spent the greater part of the after-
noon exploring Granville Island.
We saw fute players and a perform-
er on a ten foot high unicycle. Alex
Glydon was even a participant in this
act, said Grajczyk on Facebook.
We all enjoyed fsh and chips for din-
ner -which wasnt cheap I might add-
and then Don Murray picked us up and
drove us down to East Hastings where
the students got to see the devastating
effects of drug and alcohol abuse. We
saw drug dealers and people drinking
alcohol and shooting up drugs. This
was an eye opening experience for the
students and they got to see what hap-
pens when alcohol is abused and drugs
are used.
After our East Hastings experience,
we moved on to China Town and Gaso-
line Alley. We made our way back to
the jet and said goodbye to Vancouver.
It took us one hour and 17 minutes to
get home. Im not sure why it took lon-
ger on the way back because we were
travelling downhill.
Grajczyk said they arrived home at
8:30 p.m. and that the students were
both fun and a pleasure to spend the
day with.

Aspire to bring back honor
and value to seniors in our
community.
This is a recurring theme
around here at Strathmore
Full Gospel Church. We have a
strong desire to bring honor and
value to the senior citizens in our
community. It has been decided
that the answer lies not in trying
to create another program.
There are wonderful programs
already in place. We are looking
to esteem lives lived and wisdom
acquired. We need to cultivate a
whole new culture. These peo-
ple have been there, done that
and survived to tell the tale.
I do not know one person who
does not want to be loved and
esteemed, therefore, it may be
assumed that we are chasing a
worthy goal. It was rather shock-
ing to hear that statistically the
highest percentage suicide rate
is among elderly males. Loneli-
ness is a killer. Add to that the
loss of a sense of contributing to
society and well it is easy to
see how this creates a crisis.
I see seniors out enjoying
their friends, volunteering
everywhere, traveling, helping
their children raise their children
and what not. The sad reality is
though, that many are not. Many
have lost their freedom through
physical ailments, lack of family
support, fnancial burdens and
the like. How can we as a
community contribute to their
sense of worth? My guess is it
starts in each individuals heart.
Treat others as you hope to be
treated. Old age is where we are
all heading, provided we make
it there.
If you are elderly and reading
this, we have one very important
need and a sincere call. It may
sound clich, but it carries such
weight, that I hope you would
consider joining us. Pray. The
Bible teaches that the fervent
prayer of a righteous person
availeth much. Nothing happens
without prayer. We are antici-
pating forward motion. Pray for
Strathmore. Watch and see what
God will do.

Dresses for Haiti
Bonswa! Hello in the Haitian Creole language.
Those who donated pillow cases for Dresses for
Haiti might be wondering what happened to them.
After meeting my goal of 1,000 dresses, I went to
Haiti on May 6 with Claire Roberts, founder of
Heart to Heart Haiti Childrens home twenty years
ago.
Claire started sponsoring a boy from Haiti,
through Compassion Canada. In the nineties, she
had a chance to go see him where she met Luc.
Luc invited her to his home to meet his wife and
two little girls. He told Claire he had taken in two
children whose parents had died of AIDS and
asked Claire if she could help him. She took his
request to family and friends to sponsor them. Ev-
ery time Luc talked to Claire another child needed
sponsoring. Some had lost their parents or the par-
ents couldnt provide for them. When a boys home
shut down Luc took them into his home too. Now
Claire decided it was time to start an offcial chil-
drens home.
One little girl lost her whole family in the earth-
quake ending up as a slave child. A social worker
brought her to Heart to Heart. Each child has a
story. Luc and Marc, founder of Haiti Arise were
both slave children as well. They have quite a story
to tell. With 104 students from the home as well as
386 community kids the Heart to Heart school is
bursting at the seams since the earthquake took
off the top foor. The community kids coming to
school are served a meal, which for most is the
only meal they get.
We played with the kids when they were not in
school, handed out dresses, and hosted a ladies
luncheon for the ladies from the community giving
them care packages that ladies from Three Hills,
Alta. had put together. I went on a community walk
with people from Haiti ARISE where we chatting
with the people through an interpreter, gave out
care packages, and had the privilege of visiting a
Haitian home.
We went to Bouva, a very poor community,
where Luc grew up. The Haitian government didnt
have money to build a school there but agreed to
provide teachers so Luc offered them his church to
use for their school.
We brought along 4,400 pounds of rice to give
to the people. It was a deeply moving and emo-
tional experience to hear them sing How Great
Thou Art as they received their rice. The people I
met were very warm, welcoming, and happy flled
with great faith and love for God.
Luc and Marc will distribute the rest of the dress-
es in the poor communities. It was such a blessed
experience to see the excited girls with their dress-
es.
The dresses we gave out put a smile on girls fac-
es. Not having dresses for the older girls they used
one as a skirt and another one as a top. Their ex-
citement was priceless.
I was blessed to meet France, the frst little boy
that Claire sponsored. When you sponsor a child
in Haiti you are making a difference, giving them
an education and an opportunity to become self-
suffcient.
Did I have a good trip? I am very glad I went. I
was struck by the number of people on the streets
and garbage everywhere, and deeply saddened
and moved to see the tent cities and huts built of
tin without windows. Their homes were destroyed
in the earthquake, and for many, their means of
making a living as well. It was interesting to see
what Id heard so much about: the devastation, the
tent cities, no sanitation, no place to put garbage,
all because of the earthquake. I am fnding it a little
diffcult to process.
These dresses were handouts of Gods love
through the people who so generously gave pil-
lowcases. Lets also give Haiti a hand up by raising
money to build a well and reservoir in Bouva. The
reservoir ($60,000) would water market gardens to
make a living. I would like to challenge you, your
business and work place to make a donation for
the well and reservoir.
Researching Heart to Heart Haiti, I have found
them to be a very trustworthy and reputable orga-
nization. Donate online. Designate where you want
the money to go, be it sponsoring a child or donat-
ing to the well and reservoir in Bouva. Check out
the great work both missions are doing at www.
hearttohearthaiti.com and www.haitiarise.org.

Standards annual Sports Day was jam
packed with fun activities for all ages
throughout the day this past weekend.
The day started with an early morning
pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. in the com-
munity hall, followed by preparations
for the annual parade.
This years theme was a tribute to
emergency and rescue services. It was
certainly an apt theme considering what
was happening with the fooding and
the states of emergency declared in Cal-
gary and Drumheller and Siksika, just to
name a few.
The parade included many old cars
and foats dedicated to the rescue ser-
vices. The dance group won frst prize
as they had decorated their truck wear-
ing a large pink tutu. All of the kids who
participated were treated to coupons for
lunch or treats at the concession.
Ball games started in high gear at the
sports grounds with 20 teams registered
for games starting Friday night. Many of
the teams took the opportunity to camp
at the grounds for the weekend.
The Hall Board held their popular
Golf Ball Drop where 9 participants
won the following prizes: Maureen
Gregory from the Standard Lionettes a
$100 Co-op gift card; Reece St. Goddard
from the Bassano Golf Course 2 rounds
of golf; Susan Bragg from Tervita a va-
riety pack; Carol Elias from Dynagra a
garden cart; Kate Hazel from the Stan-
dard Lions a $100 Co-op gift card; Tara
Sandum $50 worth of gas from Husky;
Lori DArgent from Standard Tire 5 tire
repairs; Scott Peake from High Standard
Spray 2 rounds of golf and a variety
pack; and Standards Mayor Alan Larsen
won from Tankers Transport.
The children were entertained at the
playground with a petting zoo, bouncy
house, face painting and Lothar Malm-
berg making balloon creations for the
kids.
The day rounded out with the Lions
roast beef supper at the Hall followed
by a concert and dance featuring Drew
Gregory.

With the soccer pitch behind Ranch Market hav-
ing their opening ceremony on June 15, Warren
Good fnally saw what he had hoped for, back
when he founded Strathmore Minor Soccer in 1982
with friend Art Stirrett.
The frst year, we basically got people to come
inand had about four teams worth. So we had
probably, I think it was around 50-60 kids that
wanted to play, said Good. We thought, oh this is
a good idea.
It was both Good and Stirrett took coaching
and refereeing clinics, preparing to help the league
grow; they also lined the felds themselves. Twenty-
one years ago when it started, registration was only
$20, mostly to fund soccer balls.
From there it just sort of evolved and Art had this
great idea, back probably in 1985, that Strathmore
needed their own soccer pitches, Good said. He
started working towards that type of organization.
Good was involved with the league as the trea-
surer for 16 years, three years past when his kids
stopped playing in 1998.
We had a lot of help along the way, said Good,
who spent those years not doing much else, as he
was also working full time. It was an interesting
world, my kids all loved to play it. It was worth it.
The gratifcation came when he saw how success-
ful Strathmore Minor Soccer had become, and the
strong future our community has ahead of it, espe-
cially now with their own felds.
To see the effort that we put in, in those early
years, and to see its still going, was really, really
wonderful, he said.

With the UFA Bisons Midget AAA
Hockey Club making their fnal team cut
on Sept. 22, Billet Coordinators Daun and
Murray Brown are looking for homes for
players in Strathmore. This way, the team
can spend more time together and grow
closer, just like other minor teams in the
area. The Bisons adopted a new program
this season in combination with Strath-
more High for the same reason and to
lessen team travel.
Families would need to provide a bed-
room, meals and snacks for road trips.
The players in return, would obey rules or
chores put forth by the household. After
a police check, questionnaire, and home
inspection by the coordinators are com-
pleted, theres no limit as to how many
one home can house; families will receive
monthly compensation, along with regu-
lar season passes to all Bisons games. In
the instance of a vacation or emergency,
billets can also be put into a temporary
home for a few days.
Theyre kind of going to become part
of the familythis is their second home,
Daun Brown said; her own son is current-
ly billeting out in Saskatchewan. I know
how hard this is on parents, because he
wanted to play elite hockey, and that was
the only way it was going to happen. But
weve become great friends with all of the
billets since he (started when he) was 15.
Brown is potentially looking to billet
up to 20 players, though some local talent
who make the team can stay in their own
houses. Billets would move in on Sept.
23, and stay until March, depending on
how the Bisons do in the playoffs.
The biggest thing is, if someones out
there and they are looking, thinking this
is a great idea, its a great asset to your
family, she said.
Any families interested please contact
Daun or Murray Brown as soon as pos-
sible at (403) 787-3991 or murgbrown@
hotmail.com.

Basketball program,
with registration at ca-

students played at the
Langdon School this
season, however #1
Hoops will be taking
place at Crowther me-
morial in 2014.
The Grade 6 students from Sacred Heart Academy had fun at Camp Chestermere on their year-end
overnight feld trip on June 20. The rainy weather did not dampen the students mood and a competi-
tive version of parents against students capture the fag proved way more fun in the mud.

Due to lack of gym space, 55 children
this past year took part in #1 Hoops
Basketballs non-proft program in Lang-
don. For its fourth year, the program will
come back to Strathmore in March 2014
at Crowther Memorial.
Split into two groups (kindergarten
to Grade 3, and Grade 4 to Grade 7)
parents and kids travel from as far as
Chestermere and Calgary to take part in
Shantelle Giecks program.
Ive loved basketball; Ive played
since Grade 4, Gieck said. I just feel
that lots of kids these days, with the
coaches, if youre not good enough, you
dont get to play. I just think that even if
youre terrible at basketball, who cares?
You should be able to play.
Some students have been involved in
the program since it was created three
years ago; this year, the Kindergarten
to Grade 3 group was full. During their
1.5 hour sessions, kids stretch, condition
by running laps, and complete shooting
drills.
I treat it just like its a real practice,
like theyre a team, she said. Im big on
respect. I played for St Marys Univer-
sity in Calgary and a lot of club teams,
so I always make sure they respect their
coaches and their teammates. Thats a
big thing I push. Whenever were done
our games, we shake hands with the
coaches, and whoever refs. They do re-
ally well.
Gieck has noticed that many of her
kids who started in Grade 4, now in
Grade 7, are making teams and improv-
ing with great attitudes. She fnds it re-
freshing to see the kids getting excited
about basketball, and making new team-
mate friends.
Coaches always look at just the scor-
ing of the points, and I dont like that,
Gieck said. Its a team sport, right? So
everyone has their part thats one of
my biggest things too.
Gieck has fve adult volunteer coaches
per session including her who all
have a basketball background. There are
30 spots in each age group, with reg-
istration open at REVS in the fall. The
cost for #1 Hoops is $95.85, which cov-
ers insurance, a basketball, a jersey and
a water bottle.

For students at Strathmore High
School (SHS) summer has begun.
There are still exams to write, but
June 17 marked the last offcial
day for the students, who capped
off the end of high school life with
a water fght. The water balloon
fght has been an annual tradition
for graduating students at SHS
and is a fun way to say goodbye
to your classmates.
Brentwood students got a little time out of the building on June 21, to explore the new Path App,
developed by the SAY students. A few of the SAY students helped the younger set maneuver paths
around the school, while progress was seen on cell phones. The app will be on display at the July
1st celebrations in Kinsman Park as well.

The Strathmore Fun Runners has been around
for two decades now, as has their annual Show
and Shine event, taking place July 13, with regis-
tration beginning at 8 a.m. Roughly 150-200 cars
and trucks will be on display; the Fun Runners are
expecting up to 800 guests.
Show and Shine is run by approximately 40 vol-
unteers of the club, along with their wives and
families. Shawn Palendat has been president of
the Fun Runners for four years, and is excited at
what this year has to offer.
Theres all kinds of cars, mostly from the 20s
right through to the 90s, Palendat said. We have
new Camaros sometimes, new Challengers and
that, and Mustangs of course.
The club is bringing a chassis dyno, to mea-
sure the horsepower and torque of the vehicles.
However, for guests, the cars are just for looks (no
touching, or drivingsorry folks) as theres a lot
there that have $20,000-$30,000 paint jobs.
There will also be a raffe for a BBQ that looks
like an engine motor, lots of food, a live band, and
fun stuff for the kids (or adults)face painting
and a bouncy house.
Palendat feels that if cars are shown and people
are interested, when and if a time comes that the
government chooses against these types of auto-
mobiles due to emissions, people will take a stand.
We just want to keep (old cars) alive, so they
dont start regulating, and making it harder for us
to drive them, he said.
Show and Shine will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30
p.m.
Keeping old cars alive:
