Jelly bean fun A recent meeting between Alberta Health

Services (AHS) and community members from
Strathmore and Siksika Nation proved less than
fruitful and put a damper on plans for a dialysis

The hospital is currently undergoing renova-
tions and upgrades. Members of the recently
established Wheatland Dialysis Society hoped
to include a dialysis unit in the renovations.
However, on Jan. 4, the province’s health sys-
tem told representatives there is a $3 million

aren’t favourable for everyone and they want a
clear breakdown of the costs.
“The renal department of the AHS doesn’t
seem at all interested in doing this; (he) was
more interested in doing home dialysis, and in

going on at the hospital they may not be really
interested to fight this battle at this time,” said

Friends and family celebrate a life taken too soon Denture
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Moments after hundreds
of yellow balloons vanished
into the sky, friends and
family of Emma Armstrong
broke the silence by softly
singing happy birthday on
the day the Hussar local
would have turned 17 years
old.
Loved ones gathered at the
Strathmore ag grounds on
Jan. 19 for a balloon release
to remember Armstrong’s life
and to celebrate her birth-
day, nearly two weeks after
she lost her life in a motor
vehicle accident.
Those who knew her well
remembered a kind-hearted,
spirited, competitive 16-year-
old with an undeniable pres-
ence and love of sports.
Always by her side, and
not just on the ice, is how her
best friend Abby Hilton de-
scribed her defense partner
– having been on the same
hockey team since Grade 6.
Hilton said that when plan-
ning last weekend’s event,
many ideas were mulled
over, including sending
pucks with candles onto the
ice surface. But she added it
seemed more appropriate to
mirror Armstrong’s personal-
ity traits and provide a cel-
ebration instead.
“She was fiery on the ice –
a competitor – and I’m small,
but every time someone
pushed me around she’d be
right there to defend me; but
off the ice she had a really

big heart,” said Hilton. “She
touched everyone’s lives.
She was just full of life. She
had this boyfriend who she
called her husband all the
time and she knew exactly
how many kids she wanted
to have. We’ve all been griev-
ing, but now it’s time to re-
member the good times.”
As one of two children,
Armstrong grew up in Hus-
sar and attended school in
the village until Grade 6, be-
fore attending Crowther Me-
morial Junior High School
and later Strathmore High
School. She was an avid ath-
lete participating in hockey,
curling, figure skating, base-
ball, slow pitch, badminton,
tubing, water skiing and
surfing.
Her love for sports was
echoed in anecdotes and
memories shared by those
in attendance last weekend,
including Eric Sandum, La-
rissa Hiebert and Brooke
Fandry – from Hussar – who
had known Armstrong since
infancy. They spoke of her
infectious smile and a void
that is now left behind.
“We’ve grown up with her
and I’ve known her since I
was one,” said Sandum. “She
was bright and she was loud.
I hope everyone knows how
awesome she was and how
loved and missed she is. This
helps everybody a lot.”
Before the balloons took
to the sky, many with per-
sonalized or happy birthday
messages written on their
surfaces, her father Clay
Friends and family of the late Emma Armstrong gathered at the Strathmore
ag grounds on Jan. 19 to send hundreds of yellow balloons into the sky on
what would’ve been her 17th birthday. Armstrong lost her life suddenly in a
motor vehicle accident on Jan. 8.
Armstrong, surrounded by
other family members, ad-
dressed the crowd.
“Emma would’ve been
proud and we all appreci-
ate the love and support that
you’ve given our family and
her friends,” he said.

Local space

dialysis unit
Continued from Page 1
Because many patients require dialy-
sis several times a week for an approx-
imate four-hour duration – a treatment
that takes over the kidney’s function
when the organs fail – residents from
Strathmore, Wheatland County and Sik-
sika Nation formed the Wheatland Dial-
ysis Society to come up with a solution.
For those travelling from as far as
Siksika Nation, the travel time is often
close to an hour-and-a-half to reach the
closest centre in Calgary. Therefore, the
society felt having a unit in Strathmore
would prove ideal. Yet the distance of
88 kilometres (km) from Siksika Nation
to Calgary falls flat on meeting the Al-
berta Kidney Care criteria to establish a
dialysis unit that requires a distance of
100 km to the nearest dialysis unit and
a minimum of six patients.
Although the Town of Strathmore
received Best in Business Awards for:
isn’t involved, Mayor Pat Fule did meet
with some of the residents and is gath-
ering information.
“It’s still too early in the process to
say what’s actually going to happen in
terms of council’s involvement right
now, but we’re definitely interested,”
said Fule. “I know there are people who
do have to go to Calgary regularly, and
it’s a tough and expensive thing to do.
I can understand how people who are
affected by it would love it if we had
something in town; it’s just the logistics
of it, how it would be done, the cost
and funding. Right now it’s going to be
information gathering, but it’s some-
thing we’re definitely listening to the
group to for sure.”
The meeting earlier this month in-
volved roughly 13 people along with
six AHS representatives. Those in at-
tendance included members of the
Wheatland Dialysis Society, Siksika
Nation Council, Strathmore communi-
ty members, Strathmore Health Centre
and Siksika Health services represent-
atives.
Without the green light from AHS to
utilize space in the Strathmore Hospital,
the society is looking at other options
that include approaching local clinics.

Early intervention of any disease is a good thing. That

Frequent memory lapses is a common symptom of
early Alzheimer’s but many people think this is just
a sign of “getting older”. Many people wait a year
or more before consulting a doctor about it. Another
symptom is disorientation of time or place such as
getting lost in familiar places or forgetting what the
month or year is. A third symptom involves changes
in personality like becoming suspicious or confused.
If any of these symptoms are bothering you, see your

It’s been nearly three months
since RPH Irrigation Services
was singled out with Reinke

propelling the Strathmore loca-

strategy and strive for greater
success this upcoming year.
Every year, Reinke Manufac-
turing Co., the world’s largest
privately-held manufacturer of

inke sales convention to distin-
guish superior achievement lev-
els among dealerships.
RPH Irrigation Services, which
has three locations in Alberta –
including Strathmore – and one
in Montana, received the award
previously including last year. In
October 2017, the company was
also recognized as the number
one highest selling dealership
in the Northwest Territories, top
parts dealer and top sprinkler

Avoid, minimize and replace
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Wheatland County council got a unique tutoring
session on the area’s wetlands on Jan. 9.
Janeen Ogloza, scientist and consultant for Ter-
raShift Engineering, outlined the different types
of wetlands, the current regulations and how the
new Alberta Wetland Mitigation Directive will im-
pact residents and builders in Wheatland County.
The province approved the plan in November
2017. Its goal is to avoid or mitigate impacts to
wetland areas, replace and restore lost wetland
areas, and establish their value.
“Alberta wetlands have been slowly disappear-
ing from Alberta. They have slowly decreased
from one third to one fifth (of total land in Al-
berta),” said Ogloza.
Wheatland County falls under the National
Grasslands and Prairie pothole region. Pothole re-
gions are wetlands used by migratory birds, and
over 600 species of plants and animals. Fifty per
cent of those are considered at risk. Ogloza said
there is a decrease of pothole wetlands by 40 to
70 per cent.
She said major loss contributors are farming and
urbanization. The increasing blue algae blooms
throughout the province indicate vanishing wet-
lands. Wetlands remove phosphorus and nitrogen
from water, while blue algae quickly feeds on ex-
cess fertilizers, leading to its spread, and depletes
oxygen in water areas, causes fish die-off, plant
degradation and soil decomposition.
Wetlands are important to humans too, as they
aid in carbon sequester and water purification,
and provide wildlife habitat and help with flood
risks.
There are two types of wetlands: mineral wet-
lands are shallow open water, and marsh and
swamp. But what many people don’t consider
is organic wetlands that include bogs and fens,
which often present as spongy land that floods
and dries up off and on. Wetlands are classified by
a specific formula based on peat levels in the soil.
“Not all wetlands look wet,” said Ogloza. “The
problem with wetlands is they are hard to recog-
nize.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Giving thanks
To the Editor
The Strathmore and Wheatland County Christmas
Hamper Society would like to give a warm heartfelt
thank you to our community.
Individuals, groups, clubs, teams, schools and busi-
nesses have provided incredible donations of food,
toys, money and volunteer time.
We were able to provide 233 hampers and 280 child
gift bags to deserving families within our community.
Of the 233 families, 172 were from Strathmore, 26
from Gleichen, 10 from the County of Wheatland,
eight from Rockyford, seven from Carseland, five
from Hussar, three from Standard, one from Cluny
and one from Lyalta. Each family received a variety of
canned and boxed items, as well as fresh fruit, veg-
etables and other refrigerator products.
We feel that our hampers provide a generous
amount of groceries that will help feed families dur-
ing the holidays. The value of the hamper is approxi-
mately $350, $450 and $550 depending on the size of
family. On top of every food hamper there is also a
gift bag given to every child, with the value of $120.
Our campaign began in mid-November and ran un-
til the last of the tables were packed away just days

Six regulatory documents for mandatory ad-
herence and management can be summarized
by three words: avoidance, minimization and re-
placement.
Those farming near wetlands, or proposing con-
struction on or near them, will have to get creative
and look for alternatives, placing wetland health
initiatives first.
New applications will first have to show how
their plans will avoid wetland areas. If it is shown
the activity cannot be avoided or minimized, a
wetland restoration plan must be put in place to
gain approvals.
There is a third-party restoration bank being set
up, where credits can be traded. It allows for re-
placement or creation of wetlands. There are mul-
tiple factors used to judge the value of a wetland.
Conversions range from a two-to-one ratio, up
to eight-to-one-acre restoration for disturbances.
Guidelines for the bank are under development.
A fee in lieu of the watershed can be paid, or
another wetland of the same value developed in
the same area, vicinity or on land with high wet-
land loss, can be done. Applicants can expect to
pay in-lieu rates ranging from $10,300 to $19,400
per hectare.
There are some computer tools to indicate if an
area is a protected wetland. Most wetlands have
been mapped but they continue to be updated.

before Christmas. We had 120 volunteers offer almost
2,500 hours during this time, picking up, sorting, and
organizing food and toys.
Our executive consists of five additional volunteers
who gave approximately 1,000 hours of their time
helping with the food and toys, as well as many hours
at home doing other tasks and attending meetings.
We began with just two days a week and then four
to five days a week leading up to the day we packed
hampers. And then, just a few days before Christmas,
we spent two eight-hour days distributing the ham-
pers to the families.
There are also staff at the WFCSS and SFCSS of-
fices that offer numerous “gift in kind” hours that are
not included in our volunteer time totals. Without the
dedication of these community members, the Christ-
mas Hamper Society could not function.
We wish to thank everyone who donated food,
toys, money, gift cards and their precious time during
the holiday season. The generosity of this community
is outstanding and truly valued.

Wheatland County learns about local wetlands

Library features artist and author for February
MIRIAM OSTERMANN
Times Associate Editor
Carol E. Cowan never knows when
inspiration is going to strike. She finds
it in the Canadian western landscapes,
mountains and rivers, and even the ap-
ple tree in her back yard.
When that itch occurs, Cowan grabs
a nearby paintbrush and creates yet an-
other piece of art to add to
her already vast body of work
– a collection that is featured
in her latest book Canadian
Western Landscapes: Through
the Years.
The book, Cowan’s second
published work, has been out
on the shelves for the past
five months and will be the
cornerstone of Cowan’s visit
to the Strathmore Municipal
Library on Feb. 10, when she will take
part in a book signing and a meet-and-
greet. Cowan’s art will also be hanging
in the library’s newly renovated gallery
space for the month of February.
“I can read an art book like I read a
novel because I understand it, but so
many people don’t understand this, so
all they want to do is read the pictures
and that’s one more reason why I did
the book,” said Cowan. “They’re beauti-
ful pictures and people can go right to it
and appreciate it.”
The book covers 40 years of art and
features seven poems – some written by
Cowan herself. Over the years, her paint-
ings have included western landscapes
starting in Calgary, and spanning across

Okotoks, Jasper and Banff, and down
the west coast; all are now featured in a
book containing nearly 90 pages.
Cowan grew up in Okotoks but it
wasn’t until she moved to Gladys Ridge
in 1977 that she began taking oil paint-
ing lessons at the community hall. Since
then she’s dipped her paintbrush in
various mediums including water colour
and acrylic.
With her art career span-
ning four decades, Cowan has
worked with numerous in-
structors and other artists, and
prides herself in hue mixing,
the value of colour harmony
and composition.
“It’s a wonderful universe
out there, and the first time I
painted it just opened my eyes
to see things that I never saw
before,” said Cowan. “I saw the
textures on the leaves, and colours I’ve
never seen before, and they’re just so
amazing. There was a certain amount of
joy in what I was putting on canvas; it
just seemed to come from within. Once
I got started on those first oil painting
lessons I was off and running.”
Over the years, Cowan has also pro-
vided instruction in oil, acrylic and pen-
cil, and she published her first body of
work and poems in 1992. Her second
book features a greater array of paint-
ings and fewer poems.
Starting in February, Cowan’s paint-
ings will be displayed at the local library
and she will be the first author and artist
to be hosted in the fireplace section of
the facility.

“We’ve hosted artists who have pub- on our walls. It brings an opportunity to
lished books who had maybe a picture showcase talent and art, and help artists
or a painting or two within the pages of sell their pieces. I think what we bring
the book; but with Carol she’s published to the art community is a chance for
a beautiful book that features many of exposure for artists to represent them-
her pieces of art throughout the years,” selves in a beautiful setting.”
said Carmen Erison, assistant director of Carol E. Cowan’s art will be hang-

Recovering from Christmas debt
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Many people give generously at
Christmastime, and that can lead to
debt hangover in January.
But over-spending can happen any
time of the year, said Nadia Graham
with the Credit Counselling Society in
Calgary. Fortunately, she offers helpful
advice about dealing with it.
“The Christmas season, the spring
season, the back-to-school season,
pretty much every season,” Graham
said. “We see people who are over-bur-
dened by spending. It can be clothing.
It can be groceries. It can be dining
out. It can be all kinds of other issues.
“Repairs around the house. We all
know furnaces, water heaters, appli-
ances, sooner or later they need to be
replaced. Auto maintenance is anoth-
er big (item). If one doesn’t plan for
them, they tend to go on a credit card
and become part of an overall debt is-
sue.”
That initial debt, Graham said, can
lead to more debt. If a family puts
$3,000 worth of Christmas gifts on a
credit card with an interest rate of 19.9
per cent, for instance, and then makes
only minimum payments, it will take
53 years to pay off, costing an addi-
tional $12,700 in interest.
Lingering debt can lead to other
problems. Graham has known families
whose debt load meant they couldn’t
pay for dental care or afford activities
Emma Armstrong
What Is a Community?
Our family was recently devastated by the
passing of our wonderful Emma Armstrong.
She was our Daughter, Sister, Granddaughter,
Cousin, Niece, and she was a friend to many
and loved by all. It was obvious how loved this
girl was and how she effected everyone she was
involved with.
As the family joined together over the week
to grieve and celebrate Emma’s short life the
community of Clay, Colleen and Cort came
together and this was amazing to watch unfold.
Although none of this was easy and it is still
very tough to try and comprehend why this
has occurred, there was some ease with all the
support rolling in. As a family we gathered at
Armstrong’s house to support each other and
the surrounding communities took care of
the rest. The food that came in was amazing,
there were many people coming and going at
the house, we never once went hungry. The
considerate supplies like coffee, water, toilet
paper, Kleenex it was all covered and the
flowers gave the house a consoling smell.
Clay, Colleen and Cort’s close friends are
simply remarkable, as the days unfolded closer
to the funeral they still continued to be there
and take care of things. The house was kept
organized, the food was looked after, there was
friends sleeping on the couch to be there in
the night if something was needed, all the little
things that went unnoticed, it all helped. I can’t
say enough about the support that was ongoing
and I don’t want to name names because I will
likely forget someone but you all know who
you are and the Armstrong’s are lucky to be
surrounded by people like you.
The young adults and kids that came together
was also very special to watch emerge, Cort and
Emma have great cousins and you all took care
of one another and the older kids were there
for their younger cousins and vice versa, it is a
great family. I also can’t say enough about Cort
and Emma’s friends you guys were there when
you were needed and I could feel and see the
support from you all.
Also the hockey community that grouped,

for their children. Children see, hear
and feel the tension that debt creates
in the home, she said. And in extreme
situations, a family’s debt may require
them to use food banks or go to Al-
berta Works to get their utilities recon-
nected.
But there are ways to fix the prob-
lem before it gets to that point.
“First thing is, if you’ve dug your-
self into a hole, stop digging,” Graham
said. “Develop a budget. Track your
discretionary expenses; that would be
things like your clothing, your dining
out, your entertainment, lottery tickets.
Or the kind of things you don’t have
to buy. Putting money that you spend
aside for, be it gifts, be it house repairs
and maintenance, auto repairs and
maintenance, clothing, the things that
don’t happen every month.”
If taking those steps is hard, there’s

org and mymoneycoach.ca. The Credit
Counselling Society also offers free,
unbiased help.
“We can help them with budgeting
assistance. We can help them to man-
age their finances,” said Graham. “If
they have a lot of debt, we can dis-
cuss what options they have available
to them to deal with the debt. We can
discuss what options they may choose
to take to deal with this situation, and
how they can progress going forward.”
She urges people to ask for help
sooner rather than later.

RSA students to produce 10-minute play creation

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Rosebud School of the Arts students
will present a 10-Minute Play Creation
on Feb. 3, using their diverse artistic
and performing skills while raising
funds for their annual theatre study
trips.
At 6 p.m. on Feb. 2, the students
will be divided into groups, and each
group will receive one prop and one
artwork.
During the silent auction, live arti-
sans will also be at work. Anja Jons-
son, a second-year RSA student, will
offer henna art, and Mike Thiessen, an
RSA graduate, will be sketching.
At 7:30 p.m., the 10-minute perfor-
mances will begin.
Creating and performing these plays
in a short span of time was a valuable
learning experience in her first year at
RSA, Ogden said.
settings.”
The students also take workshops
and accept risk-taking challenges, she
said. The trips also offer networking
opportunities with theatre profession-
als.
On her theatre trip to the West Coast
last year, Ogden took a song-writing
workshop, where she wrote a song
she later performed at a public open
mic event. She and her classmates also
took a breathing workshop and saw
“inspiring” theatre performances, in-
cluding Ogden’s first one-woman play.
The silent auction and 10-minute
play performances will both be held
in Rosebud’s BMO Studio Stage. The
plays are family-friendly, Ogden said,
and admission to the play performance
is by donation.

prompt. The prop, said second-year
student Rebbekah Ogden, might be
anything from a sword to an umbrel-
la to a cabbage. The prompt is a line
of text. Students have no hints about
what the prop or prompt will be until
they receive it.
Based on those prompts and props,
each group has 24 hours to create,
write and rehearse a 10-minute play.
On Saturday, Feb. 3, at 6:30 p.m., the
doors of the BMO Studio Stage will
open to a silent auction, primarily auc-
tioning works from Rosebud School of
the Arts (RSA) students.
Items may include baking, hand-
made jewelry, or gift certificates for
services or events. And Ogden, a vi-
sual artist whose paintings have been
exhibited in Rosebud’s Akokiniskway
Gallery, plans to auction some of her
“It was my first time working with
other people to devise a piece we were
performing. It was pretty fast-paced,”
she said. “It was extremely educational
for me.”
All funds raised from the silent auc-
tion and play creation support the stu-
dents’ annual theatre trips, a required
component of their studies at RSA.
First-year students visit Canada’s West
Coast later in February, while second-
and third-year students are travelling
to New York and Toronto.
These trips are also valuable learn-
ing experiences.
“Rosebud is a very awesome place,”
Ogden said, “but it’s a certain type of
theatre. So by going to New York or to
the West Coast, you get to experience
more versions of what theatre can
look like, especially in professional

Spartans stung
by Cobras at home
TYLER LOWEY
Times Reporter
Despite one of their better efforts of
the season, the Strathmore High School
(SHS) Spartans senior boys squad still
picked up a loss.
They can take solace in the fact it
was only a midweek exhibition game,
though.
With the exam break setting in, the
Spartans wanted to squeeze one more
game into their schedule before another
lengthy absence from the court.
Also, since they are no longer play-
ing in the Foothills Athletic Council, the
Spartans use these exhibition games as
scouting games and a measuring stick
for some of their competition within the
South Central Zone.
On Jan. 17, the Spartans were bested
by one of the top schools from their
zone, the Cochrane High School Co-
bras, 66-65 at the SHS gym.
The Spartans had the ball with 15 sec-
onds remaining, took a clean look from
the land beyond for the win and even a
couple put back attempts, but couldn’t
get a bucket.
“It sucks to come short in a game like
that, but we moved the ball well, had
a couple big games from a few guys,
played more like a team and looked
to pass the ball more on offence,” said
Spartans Head Coach Matt Laslo. “That’s
the kind of stuff I have been looking for
this season.”
Josh Filipionek was lights out from
downtown, drilling five threes for a
team-high 20 points. Newcomer Reid
Jensen was also strong, turning in 15
points.
“I also thought that Kevin Agboro
played his best game of the season. He
was huge for us down low. He did a
great job boxing guys out and getting
timely rebounds,” said Laslo. “Nathan
Cayouette and Andrew Ericson did a
great job defensively on their best play-
ers. They denied them the ball and
made their lives difficult. They didn’t let
them have anything the easy way.”
The Spartans will wrap up the exam
break with no games this weekend, but
will return to the hardwood Feb. 1 for
the Super South Tournament in Medi-
cine Hat.

lately, but last weekend they proved
they could win the tight ones, too.

the Braves (16-12-0) turned to a pair of
leaders on the team to take them home.
Garrin Gosling scored six seconds
into the third from Charles Goll and

the winner five minutes later from Con-
