Two cries for safer roads were presented to Strathmore Town Council on Jan. 16, 2013. The first voice was Councillor Bob Sobol, who approached council about improving the accident rate between the traffic lights on the east-west Strathmore town border of Hwy 1. It is a serious issue and I think we are waiting for something really, really bad to happen, said Councillor Sobol. The strip has had 27 reportable accidents and three injury accidents in 2012. Conversations with the mayor, town administration and Alberta Transportation led to a suggestion to install camera equipment for red light and speed violations. I have described this section of Hwy 1 as our own Daytona 500. I drive through there every day and get passed in the 80 and 60 zones every day. We certainly need to look at doing something and this is a good step, said Councillor Earl Best. Council asked for an opinion from RCMP Sgt. Kevin Reilly, who said the RCMP would support the idea. He said the stretch was difficult to enforce, because of officer safety issues, and only one side of the road can be monitored at a time. Council granted authority to staff, who were directed to investigate details of installing traffic cameras, the cost and protocols, and bring the information back for the Feb. 20 meeting. Dennis Pfiefer appealed to council to install a three-way stop on Cambridge Glen Drive in front of the Sagewood entrance. My friends we have the recipe for disaster. It will only be a matter of time before we see someone killed, said Pfiefer. Pfiefer said that the street has had seven motor vehicle accidents and one pedestrian accident. Four of the accidents were within 500 metres of the Sagewood entrance. Several vehicles have jumped the sidewalk and damaged property or vehicles in yards. Residents are afraid their children are at risk. Continued on Page 2

If you head north on Wheatland Trail, it is not difficult to notice the signage posted on the chain link fence behind the Strathmore High School and by the Strathmore and District Agricultural Society (SDAS) road entrance. These particular temporary signs advertise local businesses that support fundraising projects for the High School and the SDAS. The whole purpose of our advertising sign project was to raise the funds to subsidize co-curricular programs for our school, said Principal Gary Reagan. Jim Cammaert, CEO of the Ag Society, indicated to council in a letter that money from their signs go to over 18 programs that are supported, or are affiliated with a society with SDAS. It helps the programs pay for use of the facilities. The money also subsidizes the operation of the ball diamond. Under Land Use Bylaw 89-20, Section 410, Public Service District, signs are a Discretionary Use and as such, require a Development permit and approval by a Develop-
ment officer, stated Betty Ann Fountain, Associate Development Officer. Under Strathmore bylaw 89-20, both applicants would require a development permit for each temporary sign and would have to pay a $75 fee per sign each year. So, both groups were on hand at council on Jan.16, 2013, to ask the Town allow one permit for all the signs and waive the associated fees. These signs are not for profit, the funds are donated back to community groups. They are also trying to keep the ball diamond running, said Councillor Earl Best. Councillor Pat Fule felt council must consider their decision, because it would be unfair to grant the waiver to one applicant and not others. Councillor Bob Sobol requested that Council include that the signs should conform to certain esthetic codes, requiring them to be replaced or taken down if the signs condition was questionable. Council directed staff that each applicant is allowed one permit for all their signs and the fees be waived. This would be contingent that the signs remain esthetically pleasing and in good repair.

Breast cancer doesnt affect only older women. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that women between the ages of 40 and 49 talk to their doctors about breast cancer screening. For women aged 50 to 70, mammograms are recommended every two years. Women over 70 should speak to their doctors about screening frequency. With all the talk about pollution from hydrocarbons, its comforting to know that a product with the name white petrolatum is free from any impurities that may cause cancer. This product has been around for over 150 years. We know it as its brand name, Vaseline. The internet makes shopping very easy and more people are doing their buying this way. However, buying drugs on-line is not recommended. There have been many reports about counterfeit drugs being sold on-line and the purchaser has no idea whether the label indicates what is truly in the bottle or not. Dont take chances with your health. With all the publicity surrounding calcium during the past year, many people are wondering it they should take this mineral at all. The best source of calcium is from our diet. But if you are not a dairy product or vegetable consumer, you can safely supplement with up to 1000 mg per day. Check with our pharmacists. For answers to your questions about calcium or any product in our pharmacy, talk to our pharmacists. They are always ready to serve you.
Councillor Rocky Blokland suggested at the Jan. 16 council meeting that snow removal in the downtown should change from side to side clearing of snow, with piles left at the curb. Blokland suggested crews clear snow lengthwise down the street and pile the snow in a windrow down the middle, which would keep the curbs clear. Windrow snow removal could then take place after priority roads are cleared. I am downtown at five or five thirty and I see what goes on there and you are doing an excellent job, said Councillor Blokland Instead of clearing side to side, I suggest we look at that windrow down the windrow method. Blokland felt the current mechanism presented concerns; not enough parking room to park safely, pushing vehicles further into the street a safety hazard for people, especially seniors getting out of their vehicles and trying to reach the sidewalks excess snow and ice that the sidewalk loaders are throwing back on the street. He suggested it be done on a trial basis. The Mayor would like the test to be done from the Credit Union to the Legion. Councillor Rempel suggested the windrow needed removal within 24 hours. Director of Engineering and Operations for the Towm Jesse Parker said that the windrow method also decreases passing space between the windrow and parked cars. Immediate snow removal is difficult because they have priority roads to clear and he would not like to see removal in the town core interfere with keeping emergency roads open. It would mean delayed removal and closure of the street during business hours that would not be desirable. It would require two dedicated employees and shift start
times would have to be staggered. I am not trying sound negative, but that is the reality, said Parker. Parker agreed they would look at doing a trial. Money for new digs The Strathmore Chamber of Commerce was awarded thirty thousand dollars by the Town for office renovations, pending signage of the agreement. The loan would be extended over 7 years with no interest charges. stepping up Council approved Tracey Burkholder, BCOM CMA to the Financial Audit committee and Jennifer Sawatsky is the new Strathmore United Way candidate for one year. The United Way is short board members and needs volunteers to sit on the board to move forward. Eight board members including one Town representative are required. United Way does have a minimum of some of $30,000 at the low amount and at the high amount $55,000, to distribute in this town, to several different organizations. It would be a shame to see this money not go, said Councillor Blokland. election know how Town administration wants potential election candidates to attend a pre-election workshop. They are considering three hour sessions over three nights. The date it was scheduled was debated, whether it was held in June or September. Councillors felt if it was held early enough, it could give potential candidates enough time to consider whether they would like to throw their hats in the ring. The Town of Strathmore election is in October. It is a wonderful tool and contributes to the understanding of the job, said Dwight Stanford, Coordinator of Administrative Operations.

For anyone who needs help with a bully incident, there is a Bullying Prevention Helpline, available toll-free 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-888-456-2323. There is www.B-free.ca website developed by youth with tips for coping with bullying. The Alberta Government website offers lots of resources for anti-bullying information. They drafted an anti-bullying legislation last October that is part of the Education Act. It is in development, and response from the public has been that the terms of punishment, enforcement and responsibility are not clear. The Canadian government is working on Bill C273 which deals with Cyber bullying. It is has been in Senate investigations since 2011. The Senate released their report called Cyber bullying hurts: Respect for rights in the Digital Age in December and created two web documents about the topic. One for parents www.scribd.com/ doc/116568800/CyberBullyingParentGuide and one for youth www.scribd.com/doc/116568774/ Cyber-bullying-youth-guide For the Senate recommendations to the Canadian government see: www.parl.gc.ca/Content/SEN/Committee/411/RIDR/DPK/01Dec12/ recommend-e.htm.
Strathmore administration indicated they received a letter from Carla Masciangelo, requesting council draft an Anti-Bullying bylaw. She included information of bylaws drafted in other Alberta Towns like Hanna, Grand Prairie and Edson. Recent research done by the Canadian Institute of Health, shows that up to 47 per cent of Canadian parents report their child as a victim of bullying. Among adult Canadians, 38 per cent of males and 30 per cent of females report having an occasional experience with bullying during their school years. This is a major, major issue across our Country and I realize it is only a bylaw, but it is a tool the police could use to deal with this issue, said Councillor Bob Sobol. Masciangelos daughter Jayde bravely came before council and stated that her bullying experience may not have happened if Strathmore had a bylaw in place. Council discussed where the bylaw could be enforced, whether it should be designated to one premise or the whole town. It was considered that details of the bylaw could be discussed in council when the draft is brought back for review. Council unanimously voted to instruct administration to create a Community Standards By-

5 pounds potatoes, peeled 1 pound processed cheese, cubed salt and pepper to taste onion salt to taste
directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain. 2. Combine flour, eggs and salt. Mix in a little water at a time until dough is somewhat stiff. Roll dough in small sections about 1/4 inch thick. Using a large biscuit cutter or drinking glass, make circle cuts. 3. To make filling: Mix together potatoes, cheese, salt, pepper and onion salt. Fill each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, fold over and seal edges. To cook, bring a large pot of water to boil, carefully dropping in one at a time; stir once. They are done when they float to the top.
Several awards were given to Strathmore citizens, honouring their service to their fellow man. The Strathmore Fire Chief, Muir Furzer, and Mayor Steve Grajczyk presented the first award. It was the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal to Dwight Stanford, on behalf of the Canadian Governor General, David Lloyd Johnston. This gentleman is well known throughout Alberta, Canada and particularly our own community. He has served as municipal administrator for many communities throughout Alberta, said Chief Furzer. He described Stanford as a dedicated community member, mentor and outstanding leader, with significant contributions to Environment, Science and Technology. In 2005, Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators were looking for a testing ground for an environmental project that purified treated effluent through a natural means. Stanford, Strathmore Council and Staff agreed to test and monitor the project by pumping the effluent into Freeman Marsh. The project was very successful, and was recognized with a First in Environmental Awards for all of Canada in that year. The process has been subsequently studied, added to and implemented in many communities. Stanfords other achievements included his involvement in community groups and with youth,
such as 4-H, and Scouts. Chief Furzer said the proof that he likes youth, according to his wife, is shown by his own family of eight children and 27 grandchildren. Thank you. I really appreciate this recognition, said Stanford, as he received his medal. The Mayor of Strathmore, Steve Grajczyk also received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and Councillor Pat Fule presented the award. Before service as Mayor, Grajczyk had been a community leader since 1978, serving on organizational boards for many groups in and around Strathmore. He has been a coach, manager, and volunteer for youth groups, such as minor hockey and baseball. He was a successful businessman and realtor. He is noted for his work with the Strathmore Rural District Agricultural Society and the Chamber of Commerce. He is an avid traveller and encourages others to experience the education that travel experiences offer. Thank you very much. There are many people in our community that are more deserving or equally deserving and I take it with much respectit is an honour, said Grajcyzk. The award ceremony concluded with three Strathmore citizens gaining medals for 12 years of continuous service with Emergency Management Alberta. The award is conferred by the Alberta Fire Commissioner. Dwight Stanford, Linda Nelson and firefighter Kevin Kemp received the medals.

The UFA Bisons extended their winning streak to four games with a 4-1 victory over the Calgary NW Flames on Jan. 20 at the Strathmore Family Centre.
shannon LeCLair Times Reporter Getting kids on the ice and enjoying the game is just one motivating factor behind the pond hockey program in Gleichen and their annual Hockey Day in GA event. Spreading the love of the sport is another. In 2009 Hockey Day in GA began. There were 45 kids initially registered in 2009, and the numbers grew to 150 participants by 2012. Each year it is a surprise what the weather will bring. One year it was a chinook that had most of the ice melting, and last year Hockey Day happened to fall on the coldest day of the year. Bundle up and come ready. Probably what I am going to do is Im going to go get those hotshots and stuff and put them in the kids swag bags as well. The kids will have hotshots for their gloves and their skates (to) keep their toes and fingers warm, said Gleichen Pond Hockey President Cara Sheppard. This years event is scheduled to take place on Feb. 9. There are just over 100 kids who have registered. Its a $5 cost for each participant and the registration fee will see each player receive three shinny style games, lunch, and leave with a tournament souvenir. There will also be a celebrity guest attending the Hockey Day in Gleichen. Hockey Alberta has got us an Edmonton Oilers/New York Rangers alumni hockey player to come out as a celebrity to our event this year, said Sheppard. Jason Strudwick began his NHL career with the New York Islanders in 1996. He played as a free agent with the Rangers for the 2005-06 season, and signed a one-year contract for 2007-08. It was in 2008 when he signed with the Edmonton Oilers, the team he retired with on May 24, 2012. Sheppard had asked Hockey Alberta about bringing out a celebrity for the kids to meet. She wants them all to see that pond hockey is really hockey and where it all began. For any players who are not currently insured through Hockey Alberta, the Hockey Day is supported by Hockey Alberta with the Bring a friend program. With the program players are covered by insurance for the event.

The Rockyford Roughnecks were host to both a Tyke and Novice hockey tournament this past weekend. A total of eight teams participated in the packed out event. Players, coaches and families came from Airdrie, Carstairs, Indus, Rockyford, Standard and Strathmore to play in the tournament. There were 4 Tyke teams and 4 Novice teams competing. The families that helped out during the tournament were pleased with the generous donations from family, friends and the businesses in Rockyford and the surrounding area. The two big wins of the weekend were Tiffany Campbell who won the 32 TV, and Lacey Wheeler was the winner of the I-Pod. Tournament organizer Natasha Koester said, We aim to make our tournaments all about the kids and having fun and being able to show off their hockey skills to family and friends. She said they received a lot of positive feedback and comments about their packed raffle table. There were a lot of things to choose in the raffle for both kids and adults. The first Tyke game between Rockyford and Standard on Saturday morning had a record crowd almost making it standing room only in the bleachers. Everyone cheered everybody elses kids on and it was a great game to watch. The little guys played full ice and for the full amount of time (making them quite tired at the end of it all).
