nificence.
Lets not forget that $6 in 1973, when adjusted for
inflation, is equivalent to over $30 in 2016.
Now maybe the world wheat market would collapse
if Canadian farmers were paid what their product was
actually worth. My expectation is not $30 for my
bushel of wheat, however, it seems to me it should be
somewhat closer to its value.
I wonder what the grain industry actually gets for
my $6 bushel of wheat when they put it on a boat at
the West Coast. They wont tell us. How much more
than $6 do you think it might be?

setting these children up for years of emotional insecurity. You are doing a huge injustice to the very
group you are trying to help.
The part that troubles me most is that the whole
situation is taken out of the hands of parents. It is
those parents on whose shoulders these children will
be crying on in the night. Parents are not even allowed to teach their children or find counselors who
teach according to their understanding. This is a direct violation of the Canadian Charter of rights and
Freedoms (a) freedom of conscience and religion (b)
freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression.
These freedoms are precious and no government has
the right to rob us of them.

est 100 seat church will address our longer term needs
such as ample gathering space and a commercial
kitchen. As a congregation, we need to move ahead
with the new church building and site. This would
allow us to engage in a ministry that would focus on
feeding the families of Strathmore. We desire to offer
teaching for families around the cost effective and nutritious preparation of meals. We will contact community members with an interest in food, training, food
preparation and those interested in teaching about
growing and harvesting food in our new location. We
will put in place initially 12 community garden plots.
These would replace and add to the gardens we had
to remove when we prepared our downtown land for
commercial sale. Our new outreach programs will be
designed to end hunger and enrich lives.
This is a new beginning for the St. Michaels Parish. We seek to be an open community where people
meet God and are transformed through the practices
of hospitality, generosity, spirituality and mission.

Growing up on a farm and being in the country
was something she enjoyed immensely. Holly attended Heritage College in Cambridge, Ont. where
she earned a Diploma in Lay Counselling and Social Work. She began her career in Politics in 2005
working in a Constituency office in Cambridge for
the local Member of Parliament. Moving to Ottawa to work in the Member of Parliaments Hill
office in the fall of 2006, she began her career

Holly is a proud Military wife; her Husband Walter serves as an Aerospace Engineer and has been
an Officer in the Royal Canadian Air force for almost 20 years. Holly and Walter have two young
daughters, and while she doesnt live on a farm
anymore, they have chosen to raise their family

Greater turnouts, unparalleled events, and a wider rage
of entertainment speak volumes to the ongoing success
of the Strathmore Stampede.
Yet recently, the Strathmore

their behind-the-scenes efforts and talent, when they
were awarded with two firstplace prizes at the Alberta
Association of Agricultural

During the annual convention

AAAS president Doug Kryzanowksi presented the local society with the awards
for the posters for events
with attendance over 5000
guests, and for the Delegates Choice categories, as
a result of the Stampede and

Two stay-at-home mothers are logging hours of overtime to bring their
idea of Strathmore and Wheatland
Countys first indoor playground to fruition, yet unforeseen renovation costs
are forcing the duo to turn to local businesses and the community for financial
help.
Christy Marlatt and Marci Hira
dreamed up the initiative of an indoor
play area in 2015 after meeting for coffee and realizing their common interests and visions for the community. As
mothers of toddlers, their idea, which
caters to children up to age 12, quickly took shape. Yet, with a 9,900 sq. ft.
building and location in sight, the project, Hip Hooray Indoor Play, quickly
came to a standstill when financial help
from the bank was denied and renovation costs mounted too high.
Instead of bidding their enterprise
adieu which aims to donate money
back to local charities and remain economically conscious in their products
16023MF0
and recognizing the economic downturn, both women are adamant about
contributing a fraction of their success
back into local charities in the future.
Furthermore, Hip Hooray Indoor Play
is focused on maintaining a small environmental footprint through utilizing
fully compostable food service packaging, cups, plates, cutlery, and biodegradable cleaning products.
In addition, the business plans to
distribute 50 single memberships a
family with one child and 50 family memberships for unlimited access
throughout the year. Memberships will
also provide discounts on special programs, such as laser tag, and birthday
packages. Day passes will also be made
available. Depending on the success of
Phase 1, Marlatt and Hira are hopeful to
launch Phase 2 in the future dedicated
to teenagers.
While the peak season is expected
in winter, Hip Hooray Indoor Play will
launch early June, in time for when
school is over.
Its going to be a slow transition I
feel, and I think thats a good thing,
because were just two stay-at-home
moms that are just jumping into this
and are the only employees, said Marci
Hira, who also organizes the Superhero
Clean-up and the Strathmore Childrens
Festival.
Its going to be a great time and I
think its going to be awesome for days
when its really hot, or if its thundering and lightning outside, or if its really
gross out. Were going to be that alternative where kids can go.
For more information or to donate
contact Hip Hooray Indoor Play at
marci@hiphoorayplay.com or christy@

Greater turnouts, unparallThe latest figures on the Strathmore Municipal Librarys budget were met with
a bittersweet retort, after an increase
by the municipality allows the institution to address current limitations,
yet falls short on meeting full monetary expectations.
As the library relies on the provincial government and the Town
of Strathmore as the only sources of
guaranteed funding, the municipali-

The south division-leading Brooks
Bandits hockey club will be in Strathmore on March 1 to take on the Calgary Mustangs and will feature Bison
Alumni Tristan Thompson and Davis
Sheldon.
This will be the second AJHL game
hosted in Strathmore this season, and
with the first game leaving a great impression with the Calgary Canucks,
the Mustangs took advantage of the
great feedback they received to promote their team in other communities.
Strathmore Minor Hockey fundraising coordinator Fern Pagenkopf said
that after the first game they knew
what to expect and, with the help
of both fan bases, anticipates a large
turnout again.
Were hoping to have the turnout
as we had it, said Pagenkopf.
It gives our fans an opportunity to
see one of the premiere teams in the
AJHL. Everybody really enjoyed the
(first) game. It was great to see some
local players and there are some Bison alumni coming for the Bandits/
Mustangs game. Theyre not quite as
local but do have ties to Strathmore.
She added that this is a great opportunity for fundraising ideas for Strathmore Minor Hockey with the AJHL in
the town on a limited basis.
Young players who wear their
Storm jerseys to the game will be entered in a prize raffle while there will
be another raffle for Hitmen tickets.
Puck Drop is at 7:30 p.m. at the
Strathmore Family Centre on March 1.
Tickets are $15 for adults, and seniors and students are $10, while
children 12 and under are free with a
food bank donation.
Advanced tickets can be purchased
at Strathmore Family Centre Skate
Shop, Strathmore Times and participating local businesses.

Wheatland
Braves
players Adam Kirkpatrick (l-r), Tristan Zandee, Matthew Quebec
and Trey Gillis won the
silver medal at the Alberta Winter Games
from Feb. 13-16 in
Medicine Hat.
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
For four Wheatland Braves hockey
players Tristan Zandee, Trey Gillis,
Adam Kirkpatrick and Matthew Quebec,
the Alberta Winter Games experience in
Medicine Hat last week was an unforgettable experience as members of the
Zone 2 team. The team went undefeated
all the way through to the final, where
they suffered a 10-4 loss to a strong Edmonton Zone 6 team and came away
with the silver medal.
Strathmores Kirkpatrick said to win
silver reminded him that theyre one of
the best teams in Alberta.
It was really good, said Kirkpatrick.
Just meeting kids from other zones
and other sports. Youre always with
your team for the four days. Lots of fun
happening and your sleeping on the
floor in the school with your team every
night.
Zandee said he had a blast playing
with players you dont normally get
to play with, while the team was able
to play well as a collective group with
selfless acts, blocking shots and getting
pucks deep.
It was a great experience I will re-
Local Wheatland Kings players Chris Williams (l-r), Lucas Jones and Blake Bishop made a strong
friendship growing up playing together.
perience as a player.
As for Bishop, he began by playing
goaltender for four years but switched
to defenseman in his first year of bantam because he had a temper and felt
it was easier to take it out on physical
play than taking it out on the posts.
It was tough. I got put on my butt a
lot, said Bishop.
I did learn how to play. I always
wanted to be a forward but I was too
defensive. I just worked on my defensive end and it worked for the best.
It was awesome, said Bishop.
Its something Ill never forget. You
go to school with them, you go to the
rink, and you hang with them on weekends. Its something you make good life
skills with.
He added they have had their heated
battles on the ice but in the end theyre
just like family.
Upon completion of minor hockey,
Jones fled to the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) for a
year, but said it was nice to come back
and cap off his career at home with people he grew up with.
Its been really good, said Jones.
I just wanted to be a part of something thats starting up again and hopefully successful for a lot of years to
come. Its awesome to play with those
guys and I couldnt think of anyone else
Id rather step on the ice with at the end
of the day. Ive played with Willy since
bantam and Blake since midget. Its a
different kind of friendship playing with
the guys you play hockey with. Theyre
kind of like your brothers.

MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Six years ago, Gleichen born-andraised Andrew Bolinger heard tittle-tattle of a parking lot where, on Sundays,
individuals gathered to flip 600 lbs
tires, lift hundreds of pounds worth of
kegs, and drag weight-laden sleds. Intrigued by the rumour, the then 22 year
old abandoned his homemade equipment and began training with said
strongmen in the Calgary parking lot.
Over time, the group moved from
place to place, outgrowing each space
along the way until Bolinger rented a
bay at the Smash gym. As demand grew
and more than 60 individuals squeezed
into the space, the now 28-year-old
strongman, who took third place in
the light-heavyweight pro level at the
Albertas Strongest Man 2015 competition, began scanning the real estate listings every night for a year.
After feeling unwelcomed and unwanted for years, the strongman community pooled their expertise and lent
a hand over the last two months to help
Bolinger achieve his dream of opening up a gym that caters to his team of
strongmen The Strength Edge.
Strongman started in a parking lot
in a self-storage facility, and it almost
died, so when there were only a few
of us left, at that point I thought OK
and started looking for a place to rent,
Gleichen native
Andrew Bolinger
created The Strength
Edge gym in Calgary
to provide a space
for 50 strongmen and
power lifting athletes.
Bolinger recalled.
We didnt have anywhere else to
go, and it was getting really annoying.
There are a few people that have been
with me since the beginning, they get
it, and theyre really devoted and they
helped a ton. Theyre really willing to
put the extra effort in, because theyve
seen that the only way that we have
a place to train is if we make it ourselves. No one is going to do it except
for us.
Bolinger, a control systems engineer,
accumulated three Sea-Cans full of
equipment over the past six years. That
distinctive equipment, which includes
800 lbs tires, atlas stones ranging from
70 lbs to over 400 lbs, 220 lbs kegs,
and yoke walk a large metal frame
with a crossbar that can carry up to
1000 lbs - is now housed, along with
regular gym equipment, in the facility
which just had its official opening.
With the help of the gym members,
some who donated their time to paint
the ceiling with 70 gallons of paint,
take care of the electrical, create tasteful graffiti on the walls, or tear down
drywall, strongman and powerlifting
athletes now have an optimal place to
train.
None of us are wanted at normal
gyms and we have nowhere to go,
said Paul Binette, who was among the
original strongman athletes training in
the parking lot. We get kicked out all

Adulting?
As if it is something that can be done
in the first month - even year - or two
of leaving home. Placing things back
into perspective: youve been around
for awhile now - 18 years to be precise. Feels long. Learning to walk and
talk. Play-School, then School. Oh, the
tedious hours of just putting in time til
you can make your own choices!
All that was Childhooding ... the next
50 plus years of your life will go kind of
like that: one day at a time.
Most people, including veteran adults,
struggle to find their purpose in life:
that thing we were created for. God
says to seek Him in this matter and
then to take steps of faith toward it
and on the way, to ward off doubt. God
wants that we be transformed by the
renewing of our minds, that we may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
It is true, Life is not a dress rehearsal.
This is the real thing! That deserves
some serious thought. You are going
to have to discover Gods will for
yourself. How? It is neither sit out and
dont play nor just do it.
Ask Him for help and guidance and
direction and wisdom. While waiting
for His whisper in your knower, just
remember, He leads by Peace.
I am a very proud Mommy. Dont
stress. You are learning to fly ... thats
all.

December 8, 1930
February 21, 2016
Bernie passed away peacefully in
his home at Sagewood in Strathmore on February 21, 2016 at the age of 85 years. He was born
on the farm at Rockyford on December 8, 1930
which is where he spent the majority of his life.
After finishing school he worked for the railroad
for a short time before marrying Alice Clark from
Rosebud in 1954. They moved back to the family
farm and began their life together. After a career
of farming they moved to Rockyford in 1990 and
semi-retired in 1995. Bernie had a great passion
for farming; particularly raising Purebred Angus
cattle and was still helping on the farm through the
2015 harvest season. After Alices death in 2009
Bernie continued living in Rockyford until 2013 at
which time he moved to Sagewood in Strathmore.
He enjoyed it there very much making many new
friends as well as getting re-acquainted with old
ones. Bernie also loved curling and picked up the
sport again in his later years continuing on with
it right up until his passing. He is survived by his
children Kelly (Nora), Todd (Carrie), Russel (Shaunna); grandchildren Marina (Kent), Dawn, Alana,
Riley (Casey), Kyla (Craig), Braden & Amber; great
grandchild Taydee-May; sisters Mildred, Kathleen,
Doris (David), brother Donny and numerous nieces
and nephews. Bernie was predeceased by his loving wife Alice, parents Tony & Ann, brothers Elmer,
Gerald and Melvin. A Memorial Service will be held
on Friday, February 26, 2016 at Hope Community
Covenant Church (245 Brent Blvd. Strathmore) at
1:00 p.m. To send condolences, please visit Bernies obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca
