ence on their business and are searching for infor-
mation and clarification a concern the Town of
Strathmore said is a major focus moving forward.
Page 13 Later this month, Strathmores downtown will re-
ceive a major facelift with a total approved budget
of $1,250,000. The upgrades will include plaza ar-
eas at a number of intersections, street furniture,
decorative lighting, planters and greenery, and
new sidewalks as part of the Downtown Enhance-
ment Project, one of numerous large-scale projects
in the community associated with Strathmores
celebration of Canada 150.
To save cost and time, the town approved
$500,000 from their Municipal Sustainability Initi-
Rocking out ative fund previously to allocate to a storm water
in Rockyford drainage pipe currently non-existent in the pro-
posed area to be undertaken concurrently.
As a result, construction will occur on 2nd Av-
enue from 3rd Street to Lakeside Boulevard later
this month. While feedback from local business-
es has been mixed from excitement to have
long-overdue upgrades taking place, to concern
with the impact on foot traffic, parking, and over-
all lack of concrete information such as start and

PRICING

Two car accidents in less than three
weeks at the intersection of Highways 564
and 840 have triggered residents in Stan-
dard and area to demand change.
Marlene Kuca and Robyn Harms are
leading the efforts with a petition to alter
the intersection in hopes of saving lives.

IS BACK!
People are just ignoring the rumble
strips and going right through the stop
sign, said Kuca. They dont want to slow
down because its harder to get up the hill
on the other side (for big trucks).
The intersection currently has a stop
sign and rumble strips going east-west on
Hwy 564, allowing a free flow of traffic go-
ing north-south on Hwy 840. The petition
proposes several options including a four-

Times Associate Editor
Farming is more than just a lifestyle
passed down through generations for
Randy and Wendy Kaiser and their fam-
ily; its a passion.
It was that commitment to agriculture
and an innovative approach to growing
their mixed farm just north of Hussar
that attracted the attention of the Cal-
gary Stampede and BMO Bank of Mon-
treal, which awarded them with the
2017 BMO Family Award for Wheatland
County this year.
The BMO Farm Family Awards high-
light the leading business and envi-
ronmental practices of Alberta farmers
and ranchers, said Susan Brown, senior
vice president for Alberta and North-
west Territories Division, BMO Bank of
Montreal.
Were incredibly pleased to recog-
nize the leadership of these families in
the agriculture sector especially as we
mark our bicentennial year and their
unmatched support of western tradi-
tion and the Alberta economy.
Kaiser Charolais Farms came into
existence in the 1940s when George
Kaiser purchased the land in the Duck
Lake area, where together with his wife
Mary, he raised five kids. Shortly after
his passing in 2003, his son Randy and
wife Wendy called the farm home, ex-
panded the operation, and continued
the tradition by raising their three chil-
dren on the farm.
The farming operation that now
stretches across 2,200 acres is seeded to
grass and alfalfa, and hayed every year,
while a herd of award-winning cows
make use of the space in the summer.
The family uses no-till for their canola,
wheat, barley and green feed rotation,
and rents out an additional two pas-
tures. Despite raising only purebred
Charolais bulls large white beef cat-
tle for their own use, the Kaisers did
show and sell bulls in Highwood, Le-
The Bank of Montreal and Calgary Stampede held their annual Family Farm awards on July 10 at the
BMO Centre in Calgary. The Kaiser family from Hussar operates a 2,200 acre farm and rents two pas-
tures for their purebred Charolais herd. They won the award for Wheatland County. Jessica Kaiser (l-r),

thbridge and Calgary in the past. The
Hussar 4-H club also selected numer-
ous grand champion steers from the
herd, that this year calved 160 cows to
their Charolais bulls.
However, the farming operation is
about family participation. During busy
season, family members, neighbours
and friends come together, despite full
time jobs and other commitments, and
dedicate their time to branding, vacci-
nating, tagging, cleaning pens, baling
and working on equipment.
For a family farm to survive any-
more is becoming rare and we are very
community minded and community
involved, said Wendy Kaiser. Its an
honour and a privilege to be nominated
and to receive this award is something
very special for us. It recognizes what
youre doing and what youre doing is
important.
But it wasnt just their farm that
caught the eye of the Calgary Stampede
and made them one of 19 southern Al-
berta families to receive the award on
July 10.
Randy and Wendy both served on
numerous boards in the Hussar com-

land is concerned with the ambiguity
and doesnt agree with the towns sug-
gestion to have clients and customers
access stores and business via alley en-
trances. Its been years and its about
time, said Freeland. Were not getting
any information. You cant force busi-
nesses to have alley access for the plain
simple fact that not all businesses have
alley access. Theres no good time if
you have to do infrastructure. Honestly
the only good time to do infrastructure
where you have to close down roads
and access is in the summer. Just bite
the bullet, do it, get it done as quickly
as possible.
The DDRC has spent years offering
suggestions for enhancements of the
downtown and held numerous open
houses, sent out surveys and even had
a booth at various festivals and Canada
Day celebrations. In January, the munic-
ipality borrowed $6 million to finance
land and building acquisitions for
municipal purposes, capital improve-
ments to the Aquatic Centre and Lam-
bert Centre, construction of pathways
and downtown street improvements.
Up to $750,000 will also be spent from
the budget towards the Downtown En-

Having a thriving, attractive down-
town is essential for a strong commu-
nity, said Mayor Michael Ell in a press
release. Council is committed to con-
tinuing the investment to increase the
health and attractiveness of downtown.
We recognize that construction is dis-
ruptive but it is important to address
the need for storm water drainage in
the downtown now.
Any municipality has three major in-
frastructures within their roadway; a
storm line, a sanitary line, and a water
line. Currently, a majority of Strathmore
is overland drainage. According to
Mustafa Hashimi, infrastructure techni-
cian with the Town of Strathmore, the
initiative is to add storm lines every
time a major replacement takes place.
The storm lines allow for more capaci-
ty and for better management of storm
water.
The tender on the project closed on
July 12, whereupon Hashimi said more
concrete dates will be released. Howev-

Despite the two-month disruption to

future projects.
Its the egg and the chicken, the

people downtown before you start do-
ing this or do you need to do all this
to attract the people to come down-

its probably a combination of both. If

Capsule Comments
The lens of the eye can become cloudy with age
making vision more difficult. This condition is
called cataracts. Ultraviolet light from the sun can
hasten the formation of cataracts. People who spend
a lot of time in the sun through work or play often
show early signs of cataracts. Protect your eyes from
the sun with a good pair of sunglasses that protect
against both UVA and UVA radiation.
A good predictor of heart disease risk is waist
circumference. The greater the girth, the greater the
risk. A waist measurement of over 40 inches for men
had double the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure
and heart attacks than slimmer men. Ideally, mens
waists should measure 37 inches (94cm) or less. For
women that number is about 32 inches (81.3 cm).
Back pain can be caused by many factors. Men can
experience back pain due to keeping their wallet in
their back pants pocket. Some people keep a lot of
stuff there resulting in quite a thick wallet. Sitting on
this lump can put pressure on the sciatic nerve and
create intense pain than can go down the leg. Ensure
your wallet is as thin as possible and try putting in
a front pocket or at least take it out of the rear one
while sitting.
Foot blisters are common in people doing a lot of
hiking or running. One idea of maybe preventing
them is to apply an antiperspirant to the feet before
an event. It helps keep the feet dry and reduces
the risk of blister formation. This doesnt work
for everyone but worth a try if you are bothered by
foot blisters. Of course a well- fitting pair of shoes,
neoprene insoles and good socks also help.

Chestermere brothers part of Calgary Stampede youth talent search

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
A local-area band, Taken By Sanity,
kicked off the 37th annual 2017 Cal-
gary Stampede Youth Talent Search
at the Boyce Theatre on July 10.
The competition featured aspiring
young artists who showcased their
skills in hopes of joining the ranks
of other grand prize winners such as
Paul Brandt in 1992.
Taken By Sanity is comprised of
Chestermere natives Blaine Stillman,
19, on drums and his brother Blair,
17, who plays keyboard. They are
joined by lead singer Jonah Morris,
17, of Bragg Creek.
The band originally began with the
Stillman brothers, and the duo com-
peted in the Talent Search last year.
They wanted to add vocals to their
arsenal and took to the Internet to
find a singer. They found Morris on
YouTube and arranged to meet him.
They played a one-hour jam session
together and everything fell into
place.
I think that first day things were
a little awkward at first, said Mor-
ris. But we bonded over our shared
taste in music.
The Calgary Stampede Youth Tal-
ent Search features over 70 perform-
ers competing for $16,000 in prizes.
This year, performers battled through
three gruelling rounds before a grand
champion was crowned on July 15.
The Strathmore Times went to
press before the competition fin-
ished.
Taken By Sanity only had one
chance to impress the judges. They
chose to use an original song written
by all three called Paper Thoughts,
which blends alternative rock with
electronic music.
We dont want to be one of those
bands thats limited to one genre,
said Blaine. We want to be able to
take on anything.
The competition allowed them to
get their music out to audiences. Its
a good way to get exposure, especial-

Writing competition focuses on seniors creativity

BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
The Strathcona Place Seniors Society in Edmon-
ton is seeking entries for the 2017 edition of the
John W. Bilsland Award.
Inaugurated in 2015 to celebrate and foster the
creativity of older writers, the award has enlarged
its geographical scope. Writers aged 55 years and
older who live throughout Western Canada are
eligible to submit work to be considered for this
years award.
Prizes of $500 will be awarded in each of three
categories: short fiction, short non-fiction and po-
etry.
The late John W. Bilsland, MA (British Colum-
bia), PhD. (Toronto), was Professor Emeritus of
English at the University of Alberta. In addition
to his 30-year professional teaching career, as a
volunteer he taught creative writing at the Strath-
cona Place 55+ Activity and Outreach Centre for
25 years. The class produced 21 published senior
writers.
People want to invest in young authors and
so they completely ignore the work of older au-
thors, said executive director Linda Ensley, ex-
plaining the reasoning behind the competition.
Only those aged 55 and over, living in Alberta, British
Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan are eligible to participate.
Prospective authors can apply to three distinct categories:
poetry, short-story fiction and non-fiction. Poetry pieces can
be no longer than 30 lines, while the fiction category car-
ries a 500 to 7,000 word range. Non-fiction asks for a tighter
story with a 500 to 3,000 word limit.
Writers can submit up to 10 entries with a fee of $5-10
per entry. Winners will receive a cash prize of $700 for first
place and $300 for second.

REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS ~ David & Doris Kenney

JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
Davids family originated in Youghal, County
Cork, Ireland in the 1800s. His great-grandpar-
ents came to Utah in 1850, and his grandparents
Ed and Ellen Kenney came to Southern Alberta
(Magrath/Cardston area) in 1897. They moved
to the Rockyford area in 1906. Although they
owned farmland, they preferred to live in Calgary
for a number of years. Ed had two brothers and
a sister, who also moved to Canada in 1897. Da-
vids father, Lucian, was born
in Cardston in 1898 (the sec-
ond of five children). He was
the first one born in Canada.
His mothers family came to
Canada in 1905, from Min-
nesota. Her parents were Bill
and Huldah Wendt, and they
settled in the Camrose area.
His mother, Luella, was
the fifth child in a family of
10, and six of them became
teachers! Mother was the first
one born in Canada.
David was born in December 1932, attended
Redland School from Grade 1 through 8, then
Rosebud School for Grades 9 to 12. After graduat-
ing he worked with Lucian, until his dad died in
1962, when David took over the farm. Originally
a ranch, it became a mixed farm with cattle, grain
and pigs, but is now just grain and cattle. It has
been farmed by his family for 102 years!
Doris family originated in Iowa, and moved to
the Rockyford area following World War 1. Her
parents, Tony and Anna (Flamming) Muenchrath,
moved here from Earling, Iowa in the 1920s. To-
nys two brothers and two sisters, and their fami-
lies also moved to Rockyford at the same time.
Doris was born in May 1936, the second young-
est of eight children. She
attended St Ritas Catholic School in Rockyford
from Grade 1 to 12, then became a stay at home
mum.
She married Robert Dahm in Rockyford on July
31, 1956. Regretfully, Robert passed away from
cancer in 1969, leaving her a widow and mother
of six children. Their neighbour was David Ken-
ney, who was a life-long friend, curling partner,
and a very good friend of Roberts. They did many,
many things together, and it was only natural, af-
ter Robert died, for David to fill the gap. Doris
and David were married in 1971, and added one
more child to their family of six, who have pro-
vided them with 15 grandchildren. Their family
includes their sons Dale, Tim, Rob, and Sean all
working on the land, and who have taken over
the two farms. They also have three daughters
Shelley living in Calgary with her husband who
works in the Oil Patch, Patti a teacher at the new
Wheatland Crossing School, and Lori who lives
in Sydney, Australia with
her Canadian husband who
also works in the Oil Patch.

Constituents upset over settlement
FROM THE OFFICE OF MARTIN SHIELDS
Martin Shields, Member of Parliament for Bow
River, addressed the Liberal governments pay-
ment to Omar Khadr on July 7.
I strongly object to the Liberal governments
decision to pay $10.5 million dollars to Omar
Khadr, a terrorist who admitted to murdering U.S.
Army Medic Sergeant Christopher Speer, said Mr.
Shields. The Liberals like to talk about transpar-
ency, but if the details of the payment were not
leaked, Canadians wouldnt even know the Lib-
portive of the Parks and Recreation fund perhaps
being able to set aside some of that for this proj-
ect, said Brown.
We will continue to raise money for the re-
maining (money owing) regardless, she added.
Deputy Reeve Ben Armstrong asked CAO Alan
Parkin if there is money available in the Parks
and Recreation to be possibly set aside to help
aid in lowering the amount owing for the play-
ground.
Parkin noted that there are funds available but
he would request for council to give direction for
him to bring back a request for decision at a sub-
sequent meeting so that council members can re-
view the numbers to make an informed decision.
Armstrong motioned for a request for decision,
which passed.
Councillor Alice Booth mentioned for the
group to also apply for the Enhanced Capacity
Advancement Program (ECAP) grant should they
fit the criteria.
It was also noted that there were several other
smaller projects that the Friends of East Wheat-
land were working on raising funds for such as
a scoreboard, floor covering in the gymnasium,
and purchasing and installing bleachers in the
gymnasium.
Several other projects havent been able to be
completed such as purchasing and installing the-
atre bleachers, fully equipping the media room,
purchasing new sports equipment and purchas-
ing a 3D printer.
(Some) small stuff isnt in. We do have casino
money. Our goal was not to use that to finish pay-
ing for the playground because that has to last us
three years in a school that is now four times (the
size) we had before. We are downsized that way,
said Brown adding that That money is meant for
students and for programming in the school.
Alan Larsen, Mayor of Standard, Golden Hills
School Division Trustee, and member of the
Friends of East Wheatland was in attendance for
moral support.
Throughout the whole playground procedure,
that (installation) was the first time I saw all com-
munities come together, said Larsen. It was a
County of Wheatland group that put in the thou-
sand hours and strived for one goal.
The playground has been described as essen-
tial in the success of the transition into the new
rural Wheatland Crossing School.
It takes a village

erals were using taxpayer money to pay Omar
Khadr. Further, the Liberals are making this se-
cret payment while parliament is adjourned for
the summer, in a clear attempt to avoid being held
accountable for their actions.
According to Shields this represents a lack of
transparency and he has heard from many con-
stituents that they are very upset about this settle-
ment.
The Liberals are using taxpayers money and
trying to hide their actions from Canadians, said
Mr. Shields. This is not transparent.

Strathmore accepts special ballots High

for the 2017 municipal election
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
In an attempt to help curb voter apathy and add
convenience to the voting process, the Town of
Strathmore introduced the application of special
ballots earlier this week, providing residents with
one more option to have their voices heard at this
years Alberta municipal election on Oct. 16.
To date, special ballots havent been introduced
in the town previously. The ballots offer an oppor-
tunity for an elector to cast his vote, who is unable
to vote at an advance vote or at the voting station
on election day because of: a physical incapacity;
absence from the local jurisdiction; or being a re-
turning officer, deputy returning officer, constable
or agent who may be located on election day at a
voting station other than that for the electors place
of residence.
While Strathmore makes institutional voting and
advanced voting available each year, the introduc-
tion of the special ballots was a direct result of
the interest expressed by local representatives
specifically with the absence of snowbirds during
the election and those who work outside of the
area for an extended period of time. Furthermore,
administration is optimistic the ballots will help
the number of voter turnout climb past the 2013
Alberta municipal election, which resulted in a
less-than-expected turnout of 2,557 issued ballots.
Our last election, our voter turnout was low
compared to our expectations it would be re-
ally nice to see people get involved and informed,
said Jennifer Sawatzky, municipal clerk with the
Town of Strathmore. People need to take interest
in their communities and these are the people that
are representing you. So if theyre only represent-
ing the 2,000 people that came out to vote, we are
missing a big piece of the population who want to
have their say.
According to a 2012 Town of Strathmore Census,
just over 9,000 residents would have been able to
cast their vote based on age alone not taking into
consideration citizenship. The latest Census find-
ings show that just over 8,900 people would be of

accept early applications for special ballots.
While council was concerned with the possible
occurrence of fraudulent activity, Sawatzky as-
sured council that numerous guidelines such as ID
requirements and an application register are legis-
lated under the Local Authorities Elections Act to
prevent such situations.
I know this is a lot of work but its very fruitful,
this is very meaningful, as there are people in our
community that havent been able to vote, said
Councillor Bob Sobol.
With the absence of Councillor Brad Walls, coun-
cil was unanimous in accepting all three recom-
mendations.
Once an application is received and approved
between July 10 and election day an elector will be
sent a special ballot roughly a week after the nom-
ination date of Sept. 18. For the ballot to count, it
will have to be received by mail before the polls
close at 8 p.m. on Oct. 16.
Polls will be available for advanced voting on
Oct. 14 at the town hall, and institutional voting
such as providing senior lodges with ballots will
occur earlier that week.
It gives everyone a little more flexibility (and)
its there because if people cant make it there for
election day, people can still vote, said Sawatzky.
Thats what were trying to do is make it really
easy for everyone to vote. Hence the special bal-
lots, hence the institutional voting, and the ad-
vanced voting. There really should be no excuse
to not vote.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Setting the facts straight about downtown revitalization

To the Editor
It was with some surprise that I read a recent Let-
ter to the Editor, penned by Earl Best (Strathmore
Times, July 6th, 2017). Mr. Best alleges that revital-
ization efforts in the downtown will involve tearing
up Main Street and going to parallel parking. Both of
these allegations are false.
First, the plans for downtown improvements do
NOT involve removing the present parking pattern
(angle parking on the north, parallel on the south).
While working on this project, our staff discovered
that there is currently no stormwater system on Sec-
ond Avenue (Main St) and a decision was made to
correct this deficiency now, rather than ripping up
the road/sidewalk again later. This was, and is not,
part of the Downtown Enhancement project it is an
infrastructure issue. This Council has been pro-active
in their efforts to make our downtown an inviting
destination for both our residents and visitors alike.
Creating the Downtown Design Review Committee
(made up of citizens/town staff/council) and ensur-
ing our residents were consulted (during numerous
public meetings and events) has resulted in action,
rather than rhetoric, focused on creating a busy,
healthy and welcoming downtown for the future.
Bob Sobol, Councillor
Town of Strathmore

Rockyford rocks
out at drama camp
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Twenty-two children put on face
paint, donned costumes and imitated
their monster of choice during this
years Rockyford Drama Camp pro-
duction that, with the help of financial
support from Wheatland County and
the instruction of a Calgary company,
allowed for a boost in activity this sum-
mer.
Four years ago, the Rockyford Library
approached the Calgary Young Peoples
Theatre (CYPT) to offer a week-long
drama camp in the village, awarding
kids aged four to 18 the same opportu-
nities as those in the city.
With financial backing from the

port Services (WFCSS) for their yearly
community programming, which this
year totalled $11,000, youth from Rock-
yford, Wheatland County and Strath-
more were able to partake in the ani-
mated summer camp.
Why have to suffer because you live
in a little town? Bring the same quality
of opportunities to the village as you
can having them out of a big city, said
Lynn Walker, chief administrative offi-
cer for WFCSS. Weve done the same in
just about all the communities. [Those]
who came forward and asked for mon-
ey, we gave it to them because we dont
want people not to be able to be part
of a program. Especially the way the
economy is right now. Just because you
cant afford it, doesnt mean the kids
have to suffer.
Since the introduction of the program
in 2014, the library has seen attendance
nearly double from the initial 12 kids to
this years 22 participants who ranged
in age from five to 12. According to
library staff, much of the programs
growth is credited to word of mouth
and the yearly attendance of some of
the participants.
We wanted to offer something for
the village that was different during the
summer because its such a quiet time,
said Jocelyn Kisko, Rockyford Library
manager.

County reviews new electoral boundaries

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Several members of Wheatland
County Council were momentarily un-
decided on whether they would sup-
port Derek Fildebrandt, Member of
the Legislative Assembly (MLA), for the
Strathmore-Brooks constituency or the
Alberta Association of Municipal Dis-
tricts and Counties (AAMCD) position
concerning the newly proposed provin-
cial electoral boundaries for 2017.
Council viewed the proposed new
boundary lines, an excerpt from the Al-
berta Electoral Boundaries Commission
(AEBC), a letter from Fildebrandt and a
package sent from the AAMDC during
the July 4 regular council meeting.
The proposed changes to boundary
lines would see the Strathmore-Brooks
constituency divided and rearranged
into three new ridings: Drumheller-
Strathmore, Cypress-Brooks and Vul-
can-Taber.
The changes to the boundaries are
coming about due to an increase in
population in most areas of Alberta
especially in large urban centres and in
some cases, rural areas. The AEBC esti-
mates that a constituencys total popu-
lation should measure approximately
46,698 people with no more than a 25
per cent variance of that number.
Following the 2016 census counts,
Strathmore-Brooks houses 48,065 peo-
ple, approximately 3,300 people more
than seven years ago.
The plan aims to reduce the current
seven electoral divisions along the east
side of the province, where Strathmore
sits, into six electoral divisions and a
total of three electoral divisions will be
transferred from rural areas into urban
centres.
Drumheller-Strathmore would be
particularly problematic, stretching
from Rockyview County to Saskatch-
ewan, from Vulcan to Stettler, and from

Canada 150-Celebrating our Empress to Altario. This massive area

of 35,000 square/km would be the size
of Tiawan and actually be 15 per cent

Heritage and Culture tion, said Fildebrandt in an e-mail sent
to Wheatland County Council address-
ing his concerns about the proposed
changes.
Council debated size issues and con-
cerns of large driving distances for the
MLA of the area. One main concern
raised about the proposed size is that
the rate payers and people who live
within the newly proposed boundary
Strathmore may not be as fairly and evenly repre-
sented if the MLA has to drive long dis-
Stampede tances to see everyone.
However, councils greatest concern

Invasion of the Lily Beetle
BRADY GROVE
Times Reporter
For local gardener Ted Shinn grow-
ing lilies has been a life-long hobby,
but now his plants face a new threat:
the Red Lily Beetle. Shinn was unaware
he had problem until his neighbour
Phyl Kane alerted him to the attack.
Ive never seen anything like these
guys, said Shinn. I thought the plant
had just finished blooming and the
blooms were dying off but they have
no leaves left on the stems.
These little critters have an insatiable
hunger for lilies, consuming them in a
matter of days. Bad news for lily own-
ers they are resistant to traditional over
the counter pesticides such as Raid.
The only way to stop them is to find
them and squish them, one at a time,
however the Alberta Regional Lily So-
ciety (ARLS) reports the chemical Am-
bush to be effective against the adult
beetle.
Before the beetle has matured it en-
cases its larvae in a fecal shield pro-
tecting them from predators, pesti-
cides and the environment.
It is suspected the Red Lily Beetle
traveled to North America on a cargo
ship from Asia or Europe where its
native and landed in Canada some-
time around 1943. The intrusive bug
has slowly been working its way west
across Canada, with British Columbia
being the only province not under
siege.
According to ARLS president Laurie
Hepper the first Alberta sighting were
in 2004.
The hub of it seemed to be in Aird-
rie and just spread out from there,
said Hepper. For anyone growing lil-
ies its a major concern.
The pest has spread around Alberta
and now calls multiple communities
home including Calgary, Edmonton,
Drumheller, and Okotoks.
The biggest issue with the beetle
is that it has no natural predators in
North America. Once the beetle reach-
es adulthood it develops a hard shell
and sequesters chemicals from a host
lily to create toxins. The red shell
acts as a defence mechanism against
predators and is natures way of saying
dont eat me Ill make you sick.
However, Olds College has acquired
a new weapon: Tetrastichus Setifer a
parasitic wasp from Europe who is the
arch-enemy of the Red Lily Beetle.
Its adapted to specifically target the
lily beetle, said Dr. Ken Fry, program
coordinator of Applied Sciences and
Horticulture at Olds College. Lily bee-
tles are simply a non-issue in Europe.
The wasp doesnt eat the Red Lily
Beetle. The wasp infects the eggs with
its own eggs. Once those eggs hatch
wasps are born instead of more beetle
larvae. According to Fry, it only does
this to the Red Lily Beetle population
and hasnt crossed over into any other
creatures, not even closely related rela-
tives such as the cereal leaf beetle.
There is a really high probability
that this wasp will pose zero risk to
other species in North America and
will focus exclusively on the lily bee-
tle, said Fry.
According to Fry, researchers from
the University of Rhode Island went
over to Europe to learn why the lily
beetle wasnt an issue for them. They
found tetrastichus setifer was control-
ling the population.
Fry joined forces with University of
Carleton in 2008 who have been spear-
heading the wasp introduction efforts
in Canada to acquire some of the aerial
predators for Alberta.

Lakes of Muirfield moving forward

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
The Lakes of Muirfield is making
some positive headway as construc-
tion for the mechanical system should
be underway this fall, to be completed
throughout the winter for next spring.
The update was brought to Wheat-
land County Council by Bill Maher,
head of development for The Home-
steads, and Jimmy Souza, project man-
ager for the Lakes of Muirfield, during
the July 4 regular council meeting.
The Homesteads is a newly-planned
and approved 3,000 home community
that will be developed adjacent to the
Lakes of Muirfield.
We (The Homesteads) have entered
into a memorandum of understanding
(MOU) with Muirfield on how that will
projects and utilities are a separate en-
tity of what they are dealing with.
Currently, approval has been granted
for the lagoon and pipeline option for
wastewater, which involves the waste-
water to be gathered and transported
in a pipeline that would go to Cattle-
land where it would be treated in a la-
goon system utility plant to be spray
irrigated within Cattleland.
Weve already approached Alberta
Environment in modifying the approv-
al that we have for a better system, we
think, said Maher, adding that Alberta
Environment has responded that there
is a process to be completed before the
modification can be finalized and ap-
proved.
Because of the process and where
Muirfield is, developers are looking at
conducting an upgraded mechanical
rently have the lagoon approved and in
place and the second stage for it is also
mechanical treatment.
Homestead and the Lakes of Muir-
field will be using the same system and
all the agreements are already signed.
Our next step is to get the utility
company in place and have the agree-
ments (with them) for servicing, said
Maher, adding that the County will re-
ceive copies of the agreement.
Construction for the mechanical sys-
tem will begin this fall regardless on if
approval is granted from Alberta Envi-
ronment for the new and better system.
If approval isnt granted for the new
system, the original approved system
will be put into construction and will
be worked on throughout the winter to
be completed by spring 2018.
I honestly believe that we are finally
turning a corner, that really we should
have a golden shovel and turn some
sod today, said Souza, adding that in
the past 30 days, 25 lots have been
sold in the Lakes of Muirfield, which is
something that hasnt happened since
2007 following the original sod turning
in June 2006.
Construction of housing for the
Homesteads will also begin next spring
or summer.
We look forward to getting some
firm construction dates and actually
seeing some work being done, said
Reeve Glenn Koester.

happen between the sanitary sewer
that we will provide and the water ini-
tially that they will provide and they
will all become one utility as time goes
by, said Maher, adding that they would
soon be in meetings with a utility com-
pany who is seriously looking at tak-
ing on and being the utility company
for the two developments of the Lakes
of Muirfield and the Homesteads.
The developers are treating sewer
and water solutions as two separate

The Strathmore Thunder U16A team will compete in the Western Canadian Championship after a solid showing at
provincials.
Thunder still ready to rumble
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Despite getting knocked out in the semi-
finals, the Strathmore U16A Thunder still
earned a ticket to the Western Canadian cham-
pionships later this summer.
The Thunder ran into the Red Deer Rage
in the semis and lost 9-2 July 9 at Centennial
Park in Sherwood Park.
We had a goal coming into provincials to
at least reach the semis and get to either a
Western championship or nationals, and we
accomplished that, said Thunder head coach
Vince Olson.
Both Natalie Funk and Susanne Sevcik went
3-for-4 at the dish, scoring the only runs for
the Thunder.
The Thunder advanced to Westerns, which
run August 10 to 13 in Brandon, Man.
In the quarters, the Thunder were tied 2-2
with the Calgary Adrenaline until the top of
the sixth inning, when the flood gates opened.
Nearly every batter in their lineup scored, as
they pushed across eight runs to take the com-
manding 10-2 lead.
For the most part, we struggled to put up
lots of runs this weekend, said Olson. Our
pitching and defence really carried us. We had
a couple of starters throw great games for us
and we took care of the ball, made all the rou-
tine plays in the field.
The Thunder entered the playoffs after go-

ing 2-1 in the round robin.
They opened the tourney by dumping the
St. Albert Angels 5-4 July 7. Ainsley Olson
started on the bump, going the distance and
striking out 12 batters. She also chipped in
offensively, going 4-for-4 with a pair of runs
scored. Sevcik also scored a pair of runs, as
she went 2-for-2 at the plate with a pair of
walks.
In their second game, the Thunder racked
up six runs in the bottom of the first inning
and went on to double up the Calgary Nose-
creek Avalanche 8-4.
Sevcik scored a pair of runs during her
3-for-4 performance, while Justine Larson
went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
The Thunder wrapped up their round robin
slate by getting blanked 2-0 by the River City
Hornets July 8.
River City went on to become the provin-
cial champs. There was no shame in losing
that game, said Olson. It honestly was such
a fun game to be a part of. Any time you can
hold a team like that to two runs, you know
youre doing something right.
Head coach Olson will give his team the
week off before they start to ramp up their
practice schedule once again before Westerns.
He felt it was important to give them the time
off seeing as how they earned it. The Thun-
der will hold practices and exhibition games
around the area, as they try to stay sharp with
nearly one month off prior to Westerns.

Silver Sharks shine
at provincials
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
The Strathmore Silver Sharks Swim Club wrapped up their
season with some of their best provincial finishes of all time.
The Sharks sent Boris Kuljanin, Madison Laycraft, Jessica
Mantik and Megan Mertz to compete at the summer provincial
championships July 6 to 9 at the Kinsmen Sports Centre in
Edmonton.
Mertz was the only swimmer to crack the Top 10 in any
event, when she placed seventh in the 50-metre backstroke.
Her time of 32.85 was a new personal best.
All year, I had certain times in the back of my mind that I
wanted to make, said Mertz. Every practice I kept thinking
about those times in my head and what I had to do to reach
them. It felt great to finally accomplish my goal.
The 13-year-old Mertz also cracked the Top 20 in the 100m
back with a time of 1:14.43, placing 19th. She swam well
enough in the 200m back, finishing as the first alternate, mean-
ing, if someone was to drop out of the final race for whatever
reason, she would have competed in that provincial final meet
as well.
Mantik also turned in some solid showings in the provincial
capital.
Her best finish was in the 50m butterfly, where her time of
30.25 was good enough for 12th. She also cracked the Top 20
three more times when she finished 17th in the 50m breast-
stroke (37.31), 17th in the 100m breast (1:24.56) and 16th in
the 100m fly (1:08.80).
It was pretty awesome to go up and compete with some of
my teammates, said Mertz. They are all really great swimmers.
I really enjoyed spending time with them and cheering them
on this weekend.
Kuljanins best finish came in the 50m fly, when he swam to
a 29.02. He placed 18th in the 100m breast, but set a new per-
sonal best with a 1:21.54.
Laycraft was the only Shark to compete in all four mediums.
Her best race came in the 50m fly, where she finished 29th in
a time of 32.10.
The Sharks have shut the door on their season for the rest of
summer. The program will crank it back up in the fall a month
later than usual due to construction at the pool.

I love lifting heavy weights. Its lots
of fun, said Scott.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Scott really enjoys the idea of setting
goals and then reaching them later on,
added Fern.
According to his coach at the Calgary
DIAMOND RENTALS
Special Olympics, Paul Manuel, Scott
headed into the games not knowing
what his maximum lift was.
Scott is so incredibly coachable. He
listens intently, seeks feedback and
then applies what he has learned. He
is a very motivated man, said Manuel.
Scott was able to pick up the sport
of powerlifting so easily because his
form and technique are so excellent.
We went into the competition still not
knowing what his max lifts are.
CAMPING He has built a capacity to lift very
quickly, said Manuel.
The bench press was the only event
in which Manuel had an idea what
Scotts limit was. He crushed the bench,
maxing out at 110 kilograms.
I was nervous before the competi-
tion started, but now I think that they
are all scared of me after seeing how
much weight I lifted, said Scott.
When it comes to squatting, the ath-
letes form can make or break the lift.
And Scotts form was impeccable.
FACILITY RENTALS We underestimated what he was ca-
pable in the squat. Hes only been at
this for three months, so we didnt have
the time to test him a whole bunch.
What he ended up lifting, he did with
ease. He could have packed another 10
to 15 kilos on there, recalled Manuel of
Scotts 155kg squat.
Seeing that his lifter was achiev-
ing weights Manuel didnt know were
achievable at this point, he told a little
fib to help distance himself from the
competition.
I kind of lied to him, joked Calgary
Special Olympics head coach Paul Man-
uel. The first two attempts, he lifted
185 and 202kg so easily. He thought it
was set to 215, the required weight for
the provincial team, but I set it at 225.
Didnt seem to matter. Scott still oblit-
erated the deadlift. He lifted the 225kg,
hoisting nearly 1,110 pounds of iron
during the event.
Deadlift is definitely my favourite

one, said Scott.
A love of the sport and textbook fun-
damentals are great, but it also helps to
be surrounded by some of Strathmores
strongest muscle.
When he isnt training at the Calgary
Central Sportsplex, he lifts at Target Fit-
ness three times a week. His neighbour
is Nolan Sauve, a local Strongman com-
petitor, and Scotts sister is a friend of
Dallas Wipf, another power lifter who
competed and won his weight category
at the Alberta Powerlifting Union cham-
pionships this past weekend.
Scott was keeping tabs on Wipf up in
Edmonton over the weekend, and Fern
said that the two would often talk trash
to one another while in the weight
room.
Scott wont rest on his morals for
long. He has caught the powerlifting
bug and wants to pursue it as long as
he can. Up next, he thinks, making
Team Alberta.
Theres a formula thats used, it takes
in the competitors body weight, what
they benched and deadlifted, and then
calculated. They also make sure the
athlete doesnt have any travel or other
limitations, said Manuel. But I think
he has a good shot at it.
Team Alberta only rolls with four
members, three male and one female
lifter. The team will be revealed later
this month.
The reason behind striving for Team
Alberta is to attend the 2018 Summer
Games in Nova Scotia. It is a long way
to go, but given how quickly he has
shown his potential in the world of
powerlifting, anything seems possible
for him.
In the meantime, Scott will continue
to work out in Calgary and Strathmore,
while attending the odd event this sum-
mer. Once the winter rolls around, he
plans on returning to the Strathmore
Wheatland Kings as their equipment
manager.

Passion Play:
actor makes Jesus
personal, relational
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
The Canadian Badlands Passion Play
2017, retelling the story of Jesus life,
opened July 7 and goes until July 23.
Now in its 24th season, the Passion Play
gave its 150th performance on July 9.
Actor Giovanni Mocibob, a graduate
of Rosebud School of the Arts, is new
in the role of Jesus. When I asked what
he thought he brought to the role, Mo-
cibob emailed, What can I bring or add
to what Jesus is, who He is, or what He
did?
He emphasized a desire for the story
to have an impact on him. I wanted
to take the powerful words of the gos-
pel, memorize them, write them on my
heart, and share them, he wrote. I
wanted to understand the nature and
character of Jesus. I wanted to know
Him more.
The story has also affected Mocibob
in a couple of unexpected ways.
One being the amount of love Je-
sus has for every person He comes
into contact with, he said. Its so big.
I can barely wrap my head around it.
Its a love so large and unrelenting. Its
raw and true. Its always forgiving, al-
ways extending, always inviting, always
reaching out to touch the person will-
ing to be moved. Every time I dig deep-
er into the play and the character I find
more love.
The other surprise was when people
mocked him for taking on the Jesus
role and then mocked Jesus Himself.
That surprised me. Realizing the polar-
ization of who Jesus is, Mocibob said.
Not to mention bumping up against
peoples previous conceptions of who
they think He is, he explained. Per-
haps (theyre) associating Him with
a religiosity that, once you do the re-
search, (you) realize He was subvert-
ing the whole time. I mean, thats the
whole reason He was killed. The reli-

that He was subverting their position

made fun of, and see Jesus mocked by

FRESH COMMON SENSE
Whatever Mocibob originally brought
to the role, and however hes been IDEAS
changed by the experience, he plays Je-
sus character in a way that makes Him SAFETY FIRST -
personal and relational for the 2017 au-

When he performed Jesus healing a REROUTED HEAVY

Open Anytime 9-year-old boys in Strathmore, he loves
anytimefitness.com hockey.
He loves it so much, that he is taking
his talents across to pond to take on
players from Europe.
The only problem is the price tag.
Wainwright plans to head to Europe
as a member of the Calgary Cowboys,
an atom-aged team.
The Cowboys belong to the Tops
Guns AAA Hockey Developmental pro-
gram. Routinely, Top Guns sends teams
over to Europe to train and compete
against teams from all over.
Its an amazing experience for the
parents and players, to go play in other
countries in a different world and have
the opportunity to see some of the
most wonderful sights in the world,
said Top Guns CEO Cherryl Paulsen.
Its a wonderful excuse, shall we say,
to go on a trip a lot of people wouldnt
necessarily think of going on.
I think it would be really cool to
go over to Europe to play some of the
best competition from over there, said
Koen, who is a huge Calgary Flames
and Johnny Gaudreau fan.
This will be the ninth year Top Guns
will send a summer travel team over
to Europe. In the past, they have sent
as many as eight teams. This year, be-
cause of the recession, they are only
sending four squads.
Its not drop in the bucket for any
family, though.
For Koen and his mother Heidi, it
will run them $11,500.
And for a single mom, Heidi didnt
have that kind of cash sitting around.
So the mom-and-son combo has been

up with the money.
They have organized bottle drives,
dances, sold cupcakes, held carwash-
es and operated a lemonade stand on
Canada Day.
As of July 7, they were within $1,500
of their goal. With the money for the
trip due by the beginning of next week,
they were back at work during the final
few days for one last push.
Even if they hit their target of $11,500,
they will still need to raise money for
food and other expenses over in Eu-
rope.
Hoping that the Wainwrights submit-
ted their fees on time, Koen will begin
training camp with the Cowboys July
22 to 27 in Canmore. It is the first time
the coaching staff gets to be on the ice
with the full team.
From there, the team would take off
July 31, spending two weeks in Europe,
before returning Aug. 14.
On this incredible hockey trip, the
Cowboys will practice and play teams
in Germany, Austria, the Czech Repub-
lic and Italy.
This trip isnt just for anyone with
$11,500 lying around underneath their
mattress.
The players are scouted from all
across Canada and a few northwestern
States, and are then invited to the team.
Koens Cowboys contain players from
B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba,
Ontario, the Yukon and Northwest Ter-
ritories.
Even though they are only nine, their
talent jumps off the ice.
Players that have returned from this
trip have gone on to flood the WHL
and Junior A level programs, with the
two notable graduates being Thomas
Hickey (fourth overall selection by the
Los Angeles Kings in 2007 and cur-
rent member of the New York Island-
ers) and Jordan Eberle (drafted 22nd
overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2008
and current member of the New York
Islanders).
If the worst-case scenario takes place
and the Wainwrights cant scratch to-
gether the remaining $1,500, Heidi
plans on donating the funds raised to
KidsSport.
We really want to go, but if we
dont we are going to put the money
to use, said Heidi. We want to donate
to KidsSport so we can help out other
kids that are unable to afford hockey.
Weve gotten so much help from every-
one, it only seems right to try and help
out whoever else we can.

Siksika riders enjoy time at Calgary Stampede

TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter

A pair of up-and-coming rodeo stars made Siksika Nation

proud at the annual Calgary Stampede.
Ian Big Tobacco, 15, competed in the junior steer riding
Tier 1 in front of a sold-out crowd July 9 at the Stampede
Grandstand.
Big Tobacco held on for the full eight seconds, earning
64.00 points, placing him third.
It was really fun to go out and ride at the Stampede,
said Big Tobacco. We will see if I make it back, Im sitting
alright right now. Unfortunately, my steer wasnt the great-
est. He didnt buck too hard and I couldnt get him to turn
at the last second. But thats the luck of the draw and thats
the way she goes sometimes.
It was his only event at the Stampede this year and
marked the second year of competing at the Greatest Out-
door Show on Earth.
Its a little nerve racking, going out and riding in front
of a big crowd like that, but you just got to block them out
and focus on riding, said Big Tobacco.
Last year in the same event, he won the Tier 2 title.
Big Tobacco has been riding steers for three years now
at his ranch, falling in love with the sport once his older
brothers started throwing him on steers at a young age.
I think I want to get into bareback riding one day. That
looks pretty cool, said Big Tobacco, who attends Siksika Skylar Running Rabbit competed in the junior steer riding Ian Big Tabacco competed in the junior steer riding Tier 1 on Day

July 11 in junior steer riding, and fell of his steer during
the first few seconds.
As for Big Tobacco, he is looking to keep the momentum
rolling from the Stampede, as he applies for his Foothills
Cowboy Association card so he can attend more rodeos
this summer.
