A snow angel in Carseland had his wings
clipped after a fellow resident complained that he
was removing snow without Wheatland County
approval.
Because it is an all-terrain vehicle it can not
be licensed for use on public property, its strict-
ly recreational. But if he had a garden tractor or
whatever you can use them, so basically what we
did last week is were going to create a new coun-
ty bylaw where quads with a snowblade can be
used on county property, said County Councillor
Don Vander Velde.
Currie Eckes, the snow angel in question, has
never expected anything in return for his removal
of the snow from the sidewalks and roads. Now
Eckes will be required to have an access and work
agreement stating that he is allowed to work on
county property. The agreement is needed so that
if Eckes does any damage, he will need to have to
have the proper insurance.
I have to wonder what costs taxpayers and
county more, implementing a snow angel bylaw
or managing a sidewalk bylaw. There are some
people in town that do not shovel their walk, said
Carseland resident Jennifer Wiebe.
In the city the bylaw allows people to complain
and the home owner is fned, here people take
things into their own hands and get the sidewalk
cleared to stop kids from walking on the road and
to offer assistance for those unable to shovel.
Its too bad that the person reporting Currie
did not see the good in what he offered. Yes, laws
are there for a reason, but we people have to all
look at the big picture frst.
Eckes uses an Arctic Cat 550 with a snowblade
on the front to remove the snow.
I just did it for something to do, I bought the
thing because I couldnt shovel my sidewalk, I
have a big corner lot and I cant shovel it so, I
bought the machine to clean my snow. Then I got
looking and I thought heck I might as well carry
on down the block. Then it wound up to be half
the town, said Eckes.
I just do it more or less so the kids dont have
to walk down the street and the old people can
go to the store, or just go for a walk or whatever.
He said the grader would come and take the
snow away, and he would give them a hand once
in a while because he could get closer to the cars
than the graders.

The Strathmore Handi-Bus Associa-
tion is an instrumental service for se-
niors, and disabled people who need
to get around the community or go into
Calgary for appointments. The Handi-
Bus has been a registered Association
since 1986, which serves residents in
the Town of Strathmore and Wheatland
County.
It began as a passion to transport se-
niors and physically disabled people,
through volunteer drivers and commu-
nity support. It has grown into a ser-
vice that encourages independence and
quality of life.
Barb Johanson loved the Handi-Bus.
She passed away on Feb. 26, 2012, and
in her will she requested that $40,000
of her estate be donated to the Strath-
more Handi-Bus Association.
On April 1 Johansons long time
friend, caregiver, and executor of her
will Dorothy Carnine presented the as-
sociation with the cheque for $40,000.
It was very much needed, said Flor-
ence Vander Velde, secretary/treasurer
for the Handi-Bus Association.
Johanson, who was raised just north-
west of Carseland, had worked in Cal-
gary before being diagnosed with Mul-
tiple Sclerosis. When Johanson could
no longer work, Carnine became her
caregiver and they lived together on an
acreage southwest of Strathmore.
When she could no longer walk, Jo-
hanson would rely on wheelchairs and
the Handi-Bus to get her around. She
eventually bought a wheelchair acces-
sible van, but when it was out of com-
mission or the weather was taking a
turn for the worse, she would still rely
on the services of the Handi-Bus Asso-
ciation.
Barb loved giving and she loved the
Handi-bus, said Carnine.
She used the Handi-bus a fair
amount, thought it was an excellent
need flled.
While it has not been entirely deter-
mined what the funds will be used for,
Vander Velde said it might be used to
purchase a new bus.
We were hoping to match it with a
government grant but the government
cut that portion of its program, said
Vander Velde.
With the cut of the Community Spirit
Program, which would match personal
donations, many organizations will be
left trying to fgure out how to come
up with the extra funds needed. A new
large bus costs approximately $60,000.
Vander Velde said the Association will
likely be doing fundraising, and asking
for corporate sponsors to help cover
the remaining funds for a new bus, if
that is the route they take.
Continued from Page 1
Eckes wishes Bylaw could frst look at
what was being complained about and
then go from there, but said he under-
stands that it only takes one complaint
for Bylaw to investigate the complaint.
Its just too bad that people are the
way they are and everybody that can
beneft loses out. Hopefully by next
year theyll have everything sorted out
and we can get back to keeping every-
body happy, said Eckes.
The good Samaritan thing doesnt
seem too go to far these days. Its un-
fortunate the way society is going, said
Vander Velde.
The Snow Angel bylaw will be
brought to Wheatland County Coun-
cil at the April 9 meeting. Vander Vel-
de said there will be a public hearing,
and then once it hopefully passes third
reading Eckes will be able to get back
out there when the snow returns.

What is cyber
insurance?
Is your company vulnerable
to a data breach or cyber-
attack? What would happen to
your reputation? Would it affect
your business income?
Many companies are
turning to cyber insurance to
protect their business from the
fnancial consequences of a
cyber-attach or data breach.
If your company is part of
the services industry which
can include accounting, legal,
education, technology, media
or personal services, to name
but a few, then you might want
to consider cyber insurance.
Your business can suffer
from system failure, theft,
damage, loss or destruction of
data, violation of privacy, and
transmission of a virus. What if
your system is hacked?
Some of the web-related losses that you could
be held responsible for could include invasion of
privacy, your transmitting that computer virus, and
private information made public.
Be sure to get expert advice when you are
considering commercial insurance. Ask questions,
get control and take Action!

Children and their families focked to Kinsmen
Park this past Saturday, march 30, to take part
in the 21st annual easter egg hunt.
The Strathmore Legion
played host to an easter
extravaganza on march
30. There was a lot to take
in as kids and adults alike
were treated to numer-
ous vendor displays, face
painting, paint on tattoos,
balloon animals and of
course, the easter Bunny.
The organizers, Strath-
more business owners
Danielle Stahl and Chris-
tine Jones, were pleased
with the turn out and plan
to make this an annual
event.

The Town of Strathmore administra-
tion and council have been working
hard to promote the community and
bring new large scale events to the com-
munity. On April 24 a committee of fve
people will be touring the town to see
if we are the right ft to host the 2015
Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games.
The bid was submitted at the end of
2012, and now the bid committee is
coming for the second step, which is
to see the town and facilities frst hand
and determine if the town would be a
good ft for their event.
One of the unique things that were
trying sell in our bid is that everything
can happen in Strathmore, said Tracy
Simpson, Communications and Events
Offcer for the town.
The idea is to illustrate the fact that it
will be easier for all participants in the
games to be able to interact with each
other because each of the facilities are
so close together.
Whats unique about Strathmore is
the majority of thing will happen by
the Civic Centre, but everything will be
within the town limits, so were hoping
to show them everything, said Simp-
son.
We want the community to get on
board, it would be an amazing thing to
bring to town. It would be a huge fnan-
cial event for the community, people
spending money in our stores, and ho-
tels and campgrounds.
The more community support and
community spirit showcased, the more
likely Strathmore will be selected, said
Simpson. The event is expected to bring
about 1,500 people to the host commu-
nity.
Mayor Steve Grajczyk has been a long
time supporter of promoting Strathmore
and trying to bring different events that
will help put the town on the map.
It shows the people what a beauti-
ful community we have and ultimately
when we have that sort of atmosphere
people want to come and live here,
said Grajczyk.
Theres always the atmosphere that
when you create curb appeal people
want to come and live here. They know
its a comfortable, safe, caring town to
live in. If they know the leaders are car-
ing then they know that the community
is caring.
He would like to see the community
get on board and help the town looks
its best to help entice the committee to
choose Strathmore for the 2015 Alberta
55Plus Summer Games.

The Tour of Alberta organizing com-
mittee is underway, but they still need
more volunteers and board members to
help make sure the event is every bit
the success hoped for.
As a start community our festival is
going to be very centered around the
athletes because when they come into
town its a big to-do for them to start
their race, said Tracy Simpson Com-
munications and Events Offcer for the
Town.
There will be a row, or a parking lot
space designated where the trailers can
be set up and the racers can get ready,
which will be open to the public.
All athletes will have to sign in for
the race, which will become a big to-
do in itself. The athletes will get up on
stage and sign their name, and then
when they come down the stage they
will walk down what is called auto-
graph alley.
Our festival is going to be down-
town, were still sorting out some of
the details, but we are hoping it can
be down in Kinsmen Park, that general
kind of area, said Simpson.
Simpson said there will be a big stage
set up at the starting gate and the road
will be blocked from vehicle traffc. She
is hoping to have a pancake breakfast
and maybe some demos and interac-
tion with the athletes, and maybe have
a few contests to help the community
interact with the athletes up on stage.
Were still in the beginning stages
but were really excited, weve got lots
of ideas and weve got a lot of potential
for that morning festival and then take
it into an afternoon more community
event. The majority of people will leave
and follow the race to Drumheller,
said Simpson.
The Alberta Peloton Association, who
is behind the event, are predicting that
lots of people will leave Strathmore
once the riders leave around 11 a.m.
The plan is to have the festival to go
into the afternoon and evening to keep
the fun going.
We are talking about maybe doing
a fundraiser evening adult only event
at the Station where we could kind of
build off the days festival into a fund-
raiser for pathways or parks or some-
thing thats focused around recreation
in the community, said Simpson.
Right now what were doing is were
putting together our committee. So we
need about eight people who are will-
ing to step up into big roles, we need
eight directors who are willing to put
a fair amount of time into planning it.
Some roles are bigger than others, and
we have some flled ready and some
not.
The Tour of Alberta has been a dream
for a group of people in Alberta for the
past 10 to 12 years. The group was able
to put an organization together, which
is the Alberta Peloton Association (APA)
and since creating the association they
have begun really focusing on bringing
their dream to life in Alberta, and how
it will look.
The Alberta Rural Development Fund
put in $3.5 million in seed money to
the APA to see the initial year of this
dream come true. Medalist Sports was
hired to be the races technical direc-
Tour of Alberta to bring
prestigious biking event to Strathmore
tor. The company, which is based in
the States, said they wanted to come
up and drive around Alberta and deter-
mine what routes would work. Around
Christmas the town got the word that
Strathmore had been chosen as a start
community.
They wanted to highlight the Bad-
lands and they picked Strathmore to
Drumheller. We didnt really do much
to get it, but were very excited, said
Simpson.
We really want the community to
rally together and we want to showcase
the best that Strathmore has to offer.
We want people to be willing to help
out that way and make Strathmore look
good.
Directors sitting on the committee
will be required to put in about 10 to
15 hours per month. They also must
be able to meet during the day. Once a
month the race directors will be com-
ing up to make sure everything is on
track, and the meetings will likely be
held during the day. Some jobs will be
more than others, sponsorship will be
busy trying to get the money but once
that is done it may lighten up for them
and then get busy for different legs of
the committee.
Anyone interested in volunteering on
the day of, or in being on the Tour of
Alberta organizing committee can con-
tact Tracy Simpson by email at TracyS@
strathmore.ca, or by calling 403-934-
3133.

The human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) is
a cancer-preventing vaccine. It helps prevents
cervical cancer as well as cancer of the anus and
the vagina. It also protects against the virus that
causes genital warts. It is recommended that
all females between the ages of 9 and 45 get the
vaccination to prevent these cancers.
Our sense of taste gradually becomes less
acute after the age of 60. However taste can be
affected by dental disease, upper respiratory tract

we will check it for you.
The maximum amount of time children should
spend in front of a screen daily is two hours.
Unfortunately, Canadian kids are spending an
average of 7-8 hours daily in front of the screens
of computers, TVs and other electronic devices.
Studies show that 46% of Canadian kids get 3
hours or less of active pay per week. And that
includes weekends. Not good for future good
health.
Some people order prescription drugs online
from what may appear to be legitimate pharmacies
but are really unlicensed pharmacies selling illegal
and often countereit medicines. Play it safe. Buy
your medicines from people you can trust.
When buying items so important to your good

people you know and who knows you, your local

Two people are in custody after steal-
ing a Ford F350, which they later aban-
doned after a police chase. The vehicle
was reported stolen on March 29, and
on the 30 at approximately 12:30 a.m.
Strathmore RCMP were informed by
the Calgary Police Service (CPS) that
they were following the stolen vehicle
by utilizing the HAWCS helicopter and
it had entered into Rocky View County
near Conrich.
RCMP units from Strathmore and
Chestermere attempted to stop the vehi-
cle on Hwy 791 after it passed through
Rocky View County on the east side of
Calgary and through Chestermere.
The driver of the vehicle then accel-
erated, crossing Hwy 560 (Glenmore
Trail) without stopping or slowing
down. The RCMP terminated the chase
of the vehicle when they determined
that the driver had no regard for the
publics safety.
The vehicle was later found aban-
doned in the parking lot of a local ho-
tel in Strathmore at approximately 1:30
a.m. After members searched the area
they located a male and female from
Calgary who were breaching court-or-
dered conditions. Further investigation
determined that they were the occu-
pants of the stolen truck.
A 31-year-old Calgary woman has
been charged with possession of sto-
len property over $5,000, fight from
police, dangerous operation of a motor
vehicle, possession of break and en-
ter tools, possession of Canadian and
American counterfeit money, posses-
sion of a controlled substance and nu-
merous offences relating to breaching
the release conditions of current court
orders.
A 19-year-old male from Calgary has
been charged with possession of stolen
property over $5,000, fight from po-
lice, and numerous offences relating to
breaching the release conditions of cur-
rent court and probation orders.

Fule for Thought
One of the defnitions for cheap is: stingy, mi-
serly.
Its a human trait that some of us have, while
others fght it. A friend of mine once told me that
teachers had a bad reputation for being cheap.
He said in restaurants you could always tell the
teachers because they would be fguring out their
bills to the last cent! We decided that from then
on, we would go out of our way, to put an end to
this reputation teachers had one bar bill at a
time! Luckily, for the most part, our pals were not
like that, and we all worked to beat this cheap
stereotype!
Sadly, not all of my colleagues got the memo.
One in particular, Bill, took thrifty to a new
level. Sometimes at the pub, hed wait to buy a
round for the table until LATER in the evening. It
was a good strategy, but I had fgured out that by
waiting until much later to buy a round, there
would be less people, and hed have a much
CHEAPER round!! Of course, Im not the type to
let that go by, so a few others and I would tease
him about being cheap! Unfortunately, Bill took
PRIDE in this, and just laughed it off! However, we
kept on with a barrage of insults every time this
THRIFTY guy surfaced!
It got so bad, that many times, Bill wouldnt
order anything to eat. Hed wait us all out, and as
people left parts of their meals (feeling too full)
hed THEN offer to fnish off leftovers so they
wouldnt go to waste!
By the end of an evening, hed have paid for a
much cheaper round of drinks, AND gotten parts
of good meals! It was actually a very sad sight
to see, and I did cringe that servers would think
teachers were cheap, based on THIS guy!
When a person is helped by others in a house
move, there is an unwritten rule. You supply
frosty, refreshing beverages to your pals, because
they usually have broken their backs lugging your
heavy stuff around! In fact, many of the moves
Ive done had pals call rests so we COULD have
a beer, and cool off a bit! Not so much with Bill!
As we ended the frst of a very heavy day of mov-
ing, not only were no beers offered, we couldnt
fnd any in his house at ALL! Who DOES that? We
were carrying his heavy crap up and down stairs,
and no beer no pizzas??!! We were actually de-
pressed, until the SECOND day of the move, when
we discovered that his bottom vegetable drawer
had a dozen icy, cold beers! We had checked all
over, looked in cupboards, and decided not to
check that ONE vegetable drawer AND he sure
wasnt going to tell US! Again, how sad is THAT?!
On this second day, an unfortunate thing hap-
pened. It was unfortunate not for all of us, but for
a poor, frozen foods salesman. He had innocently
arrived at the front door, and was delivering his
sales spiel.
I happened along, and basically promised the
guy if he helped with a few heavy items, wed get
the homeowner to buy some frozen food! We even
told him that with this move, the freezer was emp-
ty, and Bill needed to stock up! The poor guy
began lugging in the heavy stuff with us, perfect
strangers! He was really a good sport, and I even-
tually felt a little guilty (thats the Catholic in me)!
Bill was not willing to place an order of
course, because that would involve actually PART-
ING with some money! Not to worry, the others
and I berated, insulted, and SHAMED Bill to buy
some product! We also did not let Bill off easily
we made sure he made this salesmans efforts
worth it! Thats what you get for no pizzas, hid-
ing your beer on volunteer pals, and letting some
poor schmuck become a SHERPA carrying huge
loads up and down stairs! It was a tough day for
that poor guy, but we made sure he got a good
sale out of it heck most of US even bought
stuff!
I think the WORST example of Bills THRIFT
came at the end of a Grey Cup party. Another of
our pals had imbibed too much, and we would
not let him drive back to Calgary.
Bill eagerly volunteered to let Frank stay
overnight in a spare room on a waterbed. We ac-
tually thought this was an example of a new Bill
coming out a generous one. That was until the
next day when we asked Frank how the night
went.
He said he froze all night and ached, BECAUSE
to save money Bill would never plug IN his
waterbed! A waterbed can often take a full day
to heat up, but Bill let this poor guy suffer all
night in a bed with tiny, little ice bergs IN the
actual bed! Id like to say Bill changed his ways
after this and more insults, but sadly, he had taken
being cheap to an art form! Oh well, someday,
maybe hell get a taste of his own medicine
and it will be EXPENSIVE medicine!

Letters to the editor

Earlier in the year I noticed an advertisement in the
paper regarding the shoeboxes that were being done
by Sacred Heart Academy in Strathmore. I thought
that your paper would like an update on the shoe
boxes packed for 2012.
Firstly, I want to thank Strathmore residents who
generously gave of their time and means to help im-
pact thousands of hurting kids this Christmas. Togeth-
er we were able to pack 786 shoeboxes flled with
toys, school supplies, and hygiene items for Opera-
tion Christmas Child.
Our shoebox gifts, joined by millions of others, are
now on their way to hurting children in 100 countries.
The shoeboxes collected from Western Canada are on
their way to: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Ven-
ezuela, Paraguay, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau
and Equatorial Guinea. During the 2012 collection
season, Operation Christmas Child reached a mile-
stone more than 100 million shoe boxes have been
distributed to children around the world since 1993.
Canadians packed 662,312 this year.
I would like to thank the volunteers at our local
collection center, Strathmore Alliance Church, and
all those who packed an Operation Christmas Child
shoebox gift. For many of the children who receive
these gifts, this shoebox will be the frst gift they have
ever received. Each child can only receive one shoe-
box in their lifetime.
Thank you again to everyone who participated in
this project.
Sincerely,

Counsellors Corner
Babies fuss and cry. Toddlers whine and throw
toys. Children jump on the couch and teenagers
talk back! What do these behaviours have in com-
mon? Every child needs and provides clues that they
need attention. And needing attention is extremely
important because it creates attachment with the
childs caregivers. Children need to establish a bond
with adults who will care for them; this creates trust
and behaviours which foster future independence.
This bonding or attachment helps children to
build healthy behaviours which contribute towards
their overall well being. Think of attachment as a
survival strategy.
What is attachment? Attachment is an emotion-
al bond that connects two people. Adults who re-
spond sensitively and appropriately to a childs
needs will help the child to develop behaviours that
foster secure attachment. This attention-seeking be-
haviour is universal across cultures and is directly
linked to a childs future well being. Researchers
have found that childrens attachment patterns are
infuenced by that of their parents and can be a key
component in the development of childrens physi-
cal, psychological, behavioural, and developmental
well-being.
How do we build attachment with our children?
Youve seen a mom and a dad holding a baby and
gaze into his eyes while talking softly to the child.
If the baby cries, then the parents will respond by
trying to fgure out what the baby needs. Does the
baby need a diaper change? Is it time for a feeding,
or does the baby require some snuggling? Each of
these behaviours begins to build the foundations of
attachment and the child begins to learn that when
she needs attention, the parents will respond ap-
propriately. The baby begins to build a trusting rela-
tionship with her family. These behaviours continue
to exist during the lifespan as individuals continue
to establish secure relationships in school, at work,
and with life partners.
Here are some tips for building attachment with
young children:
1) Find time to spend with your child and be at-
tentive to him. This can involve putting together a
puzzle or going for a walk. Keep your focus entirely
on the child and not on all of the other things that
you need to be doing.
2) Develop your own skills by learning how to
interact with children. Read books about children,
attend parenting classes or participate in a play-
group. The Parent Link Centre in Strathmore is a
great resource and runs a variety of programs for
parents and children. Talk to them about the Triple
P Program!
3) Look for cues from your child. What does your
child need at this moment? Are they hungry, do
they need a rest, or do they need a hug? They may
not be able to tell you in words, so you will need to
read their cues.
4) Young children require attention now. They do
not understand waiting for someone. Be a respon-
sive adult to young childrens needs.
5) Provide children with a warm and understand-
ing experience. When you are interacting with
them, keep your voice calm, touch them often, and
show affection and love towards them.
6) Follow your childs lead and play with them.
Do not force the child to follow your desires for
interaction.
7) Avoid overstimulation. Learn to recognize when
your child is tired and may need some calming ac-
tivities. They often dont know how to say Stop it,
Im tired! (Adapted from Brotherson, 2009).
While a child continues to grow and develop
throughout the many phases of childhood, adults
can still continue to respond in ways that foster at-
tachment and will continue to build skills as chil-
dren grow and mature. Make eye contact when
speaking to your child or teen, touch them, use a
soft voice, recognize and respond to cues, and en-
courage the child or teen to take the lead in an
activity. These behaviours build trust and create an
environment which develops healthy behaviours
and will assist him/her in future relationships.
Healthy attachment assists children in developing
a sense of security and well-being that is critical
in early development and will create the building
blocks for future healthy relationships. If you re-
quire more information regarding how to develop
healthy attachment in children, please contact your
local Parent Link Centre.

Parliamentary Report
Last week, our Conservative government unveiled Budget
2013, Canadas Economic Action Plan for Jobs, Growth and
Long-term Prosperity.
The title of Budget 2013 is not just words, rather this is the
latest instalment of annual federal budgets that we have been
pursuing since the recent global economic recession.
As the government, we knew in 2008 that there were go-
ing to be diffcult economic times ahead for the world, and
Canadians workers and their families. The series of annual
budgets that we presented since then have been designed to
steer Canada through the recession, maintain our position in
the global economy, and prepare Canada to be prosperous as
the world recovers from the recession and its effects.
Since taking offce in 2006, we have: lowered taxes over 150
times (lowering the average familys tax bill by over $3,200);
supported entrepreneurs (lowering taxes on job-creating
businesses); opened more markets to Canadian goods with
increased trade deals, and much more. During the global re-
cession and recovery, Canadas economy performed the best
among all G-7 countries. Canada has created over 950,000 net
new jobs since the depth of the recession, the vast majority
being full-time and in the private sector the best job growth
record in the G-7.
In Economic Action Plan 2013 we are launching the largest
federal government investment in job-creating infrastructure
in Canadian history $70 billion over 10 years.
This investment will help build and repair roads, bridges,
subways, rail, and much more in communities across Cana-
da. At the same time, our Governments plan makes common
sense changes to the way government is run and the way tax-
payers money is spent. Not only will these changes help to
create a more effcient government, but they will lead the way
toward returning to balanced budgets in 2015.
As your Member of Parliament, the request that I have heard
consistently from the vast majority of us in our riding of Crow-
foot is for the federal government to balance the books and
eliminate the annual budgetary defcit. I am pleased that un-
der the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, our Con-
servative government is steadfast in our commitment to return
to surpluses by 2015. The surplus is forecast to be $800 million
in 2015.
I remind everyone that between 2006 and 2008, our new
Conservative government working with a balanced budget -
managed to pay down Canadas accumulated national debt by
almost $40 billion. In turn, Canadas interest payments were
reduced and this freed up funds to be spent on further debt
retirement and program spending.
We will not slash transfers to healthcare and education ser-
vices that hard-working Canadians families depend on. Nor
will we follow the NDPs plan for risky tax schemes, like their
$21 billion carbon tax, that will raise the price on everything
Canadians buy. I encourage everyone to visit www.actionplan.

Playschool fun!
march was been a busy month for Hussar Playschool. The
kids have enjoyed doing easter crafts, playing in the gym and
practicing writing their letters. They also enjoyed some St.
Patricks Day fun including building a leprechaun trap, mak-

a piece of gold for each of the students. Troy mcmillan (back,

The Sun also emits low-density streams of particles, also known as the solar wind?
These winds blow through the solar system at 450 km/sec and consist

After 10 years of service to the Happy
Gang, Eric and Ethel Nielsen are mov-
ing to Calgary to take up residence at
the Rocky Ridge Manor in Ranchlands.
The time had come for a different
living situation. If we could have found
something that would have ft our
needs, we would not have left Strath-
more, said Nielsen.
The Nielsens moved to Strathmore
in 2003 and Eric became the Happy
Gang Vice President in 2004. Both Eric
and Ethel were active in the group.
Eric served as President, Treasurer and
Handi-bus representative. Ethel con-
tributed her creative skills and cooking
skills to the many group events.
The Nielsens have four children, two
living in Calgary, one in Chestermere
and one in Morinville, Alta.
The impressive potluck dinner ended
in a toast from the membership.
Eric and Ethel, thanks for your dedi-
cated service on behalf of our Associa-
tion, if you were not here, Im not sure
we would be where we are today.

decided to drive north on Vancouver Is-
land. Theyd visited Nanaimo on a previ-
ous trip, but this time continued north
to Qualicum Beach, where they found
a house under construction. The builder
turned out to be another Dutchman from
Rotterdam. After purchasing this house,
they stayed there for 22 wonderful years.
In 2008, they moved to Strathmore to be
closer to their family, and now live on a
farm, on the Nightingale Road next to
Irene and Guy.
Gerrit and Rene
were both very in-
volved with the Se-
niors Centre at Qua-
licum Beach and the
Royal Canadian Le-
gion. They cannot be-
lieve the welcome they received when
they transferred to Legion #10 here in
Strathmore, and they have found their
acceptance in Strathmore overwhelming.
Gerry continues to read Dutch news-
papers online, which show that the cre-
ation of The European Union has not
improved life in Europe, rather it has
provided new routes for those with
criminal intent, to break the rules.
Both Gerry and Rene are very pleased
that they made the decision to move to
Canada all those years ago. Theyve had
a wonderful life here.
John GodSMan
Times Contributor
Gerrit (Gerry) and Rene
were born in Holland on De-
cember 28, 1920 and August
18, 1926, respectively. Gerry
was born in Rotterdam, and
Rene was born in Voorburg.
After Rene spent fve grue-
some war years, enduring
continuous bombing of The
Hague by the Allies, and her
brothers hiding underground
from forced labour in Ger-
many, peace was a godsend.
When she and a girlfriend at-
tended a party in a restaurant
in The Hague in June of 1946,
she saw a tall handsome man
leaning against a post on the
dance foor. She told her girl-
friend that this man was hers,
and before the night was over,
she and Gerry had become
good friends! It was love at
frst sight, and they were mar-
ried fve months later, in No-
vember.
Gerry was conscripted on
November 1939, and origi-
nally posted to coastal artil-
lery, before being moved to
the Dutch/German border.
When the Germans overran
Holland, Gerry arrived, via
Belgium and France, in Eng-
land on June 11. He served
the rest of the war in Eng-
land until January 7, 1942,
when he was moved to the
Far East, India and Ceylon, to
be posted to the 321 Dutch
Squadron Catalinas at Trin-
comalee, after which he re-
turned home on January 18,
1946. Gerry then volunteered
for the Dutch Intelligence,
HQ 7th December Division in
Batavia. On November 26, he
asked Rene if she would wait
from him to come back, and
she said NO.
So, they were married the
next morning, and Gerry left
for Indonesia later that same
day. Originally, he had agreed
to complete a three-year
term, but because of errors in
his paperwork, made by the
divisional offce as well as the
politics of the time, he was
permitted to return to Hol-
land after only six months!
This marriage produced
two children Irene (Knappe)
and Frank. Their names mean
Peace and Freedom.
Irenes marriage
to Guy provided
Gerrit and Rene
with four grandchil-
dren (two sets of
twins), nine great-
grandchildren and
one great-great
grandchild. Frank is married
to Susan and though they
have no children, they live on
a farm with eight Malamute
dogs, a Jack Russell Terrier
and two horses.
Following the war, Gerry
was employed in the Archives
Dept with the War Restora-
tion Bank in Holland for 12
years. Rene was busy bring-
ing up her family, and being
a homemaker.
Gerrit and Rene moved to
Calgary in 1958, where Ger-
ry worked for CP Rail, at the
Alyth Yards, for the next 27
years. They bought a house in
Acadia, on a corner lot, and
being from Holland, their gar-
den was always full of fow-
ers. Gerry was an avid fsher-
man, and spent many hours
fshing the Bow River. He
was involved with an Anglers
Club in Holland, and recently
invited members of that club
to come to Calgary, where
they too enjoyed the fruits
of the Bow River. He advises
this river was a great fshing
river back in the 50s and 60s,
but is now being affected by
all the industrial pollution.
After Gerrys retirement
from CP Rail, they moved to
Victoria, B.C. but found house
prices very expensive, so they

Mini Mouse came to us as a pregnant stray dropped off on an
acreage close to Langdon. She is such a sweet girl, she loves
people and will be very affectionate with you once she knows you.
Mini Mouse would prefer to be an only cat in her future home as
she is easily stressed by other animals. We believe she would do
best in a quieter home.
Update March 2013: Mini Mouse should maybe have her name
changed to Mighty Mouse, since adopting out her kittens she has
put on a bit of weight, we now have her on a brand new weight
reduction diet that she can continue in her new home.This is one
beautiful and very sweet cat.

Mountain Lion Leadership
Every successful person makes time
for things that are important. Spell that
- hard work.
With the litany of responsibilities that
small business owners juggle and the
plethora of competing ideas, products
and strategies available from diverse
sources, it is diffcult to know just where
to start. Mix into that too few hours in
the day and it becomes overwhelming
but doable.
Leslie Pringle, owner Eagle Lake RV
Resort and founder, Coins for Class-
rooms, shared her experience of travel-
ling with her 11 & 12 year old sons to
Nepal in 1995 for two months believing
every frst world child needs a third
world experience.
They discovered that the children
in distant places are excited to go to
school; communities welcome groups
that build/supply classrooms; however,
unfortunately, many of these organiza-
tions dont return so students lack the
necessary school supplies. This need
led to the founding of Coins for Class-
rooms, a non-proft organization that
enables Pringle to provide supplies
to small, off the road undersupplied
school rooms. Pringle also spoke of the
importance of the power of inclusion
and making workplaces safe, nonjudg-
mental environments where workers
want to be.

The Raging Grannies were on hand at the Water Conversations held at the marriot inn on march 20.
They advocate many issues, but at the marriot, they sang for clean water for everyone and stopping
unhealthy pollution by oil companies.

Open dialogue characterized the dis-
cussions at the Alberta Government
Water Conversation open house held in
Calgary March 20. Similar open houses
were held throughout the province.
The Raging Grannies, an activist
group out of Calgary, crashed the gate,
hoping to make a passionate plea for
safe, clean water. They were surprised
when they were asked to open the ses-
sions.
We werent invited, usually they
dont let us in, said a Granny spokes-
woman.
We want more accountability and to
have the government recognize and re-
spect that Albertans have a history and
a strong attachment to our land and
landscape, said another Granny about
her purpose for being at the meeting.
That was a brilliant start to our ses-
sions. We are hoping that you will bring
that passion to the discussions in your
group settings today, said Martin Foy,
Director of the Southern Region for Al-
berta Environment and Sustainable Re-
source Development (ESRD).
There was a blend of people partici-
pating in the sessions. Some were there
as concerned citizens, with group af-
fliations, aboriginal speakers and lobby
groups. There was no opening speech
outlining the government position.
Instead, participants broke into four
groups discussing factors and sugges-
tions around Healthy Lakes, Hydraulic
Fracturing and Water, Water Manage-
ment and Water Flow optimization.
The majority of people wanted a larger
value put on our water resources and
indicated that human needs trumped
industrial development.
On lakes and their use, discussion
showed concerns over: the managing
of population growth around lakes,
whether there needed to be a frame-
work developed for all lakes and who
should manage and steward lakes, how
to integrate local or private management
into a provincial outcome. Consensus
showed participants wanted watershed
protection, a focus on water quality, an
inclusion of native rights, public owner-
ship, updated regulations surrounding
use of lakes, including sewage treat-
ment, increased protection and enforce-
ment of infractions, strengthening the
funding and management of depart-
ments like Fish and Wildlife and Alberta
Environment, and a development of an
independent provincial entity oversee-
ing regulation of all water bodies.
In the discussion on Hydraulic Frac-
turing and Water use, direction was
asked for on policy around water con-
servation, testing of water, information
transparency and new approaches to
the cumulative effects the industry has
on water resources. Participants re-
sponded they would like to see a mora-
torium on hydraulic fracturing practises
until more information is available on
the effects to underground structures
and water. Human, animal and environ-
mental needs are to be set as a prior-
ity. They wanted the use of fresh water
taken off the table. Increase infraction
penalties and develop a cost to industry
for water use, making water more valu-
able. Make baseline well testing man-
datory. Map wells and water sources.
There should be mandatory monitor-
ing of all oil activity. Recycle and clean
up residual drilling fuids, and provide
clearer information on what the super
regulating bodies do.
Ideas were wanted for the issue of wa-
ter scarcity and providing for long term
population and economic growth. How
should water be shared? A Government
spokesperson wanted to be clear that
the government had no plans to sell
water to the United States. Participants
made it very clear that water was not a
commodity to be bought and sold. They
said water is valuable and there should
be education and incentive programs
around conservation and management.
That fresh water should be available to
everyone and there should be legisla-
tion to that effect. Find new ways to
utilize and stabilize high and low water
fow. Develop ways for sharing license
rights, without buying or selling water.
Regarding drinking water and waste
management, there was a suggestion
that geographic water management
hubs could help smaller communities
by sharing costs and expertise with
larger centres. Municipalities would
move from directly managing water to
setting priorities and direction for the
geographic region. Group participants
asked that the cost factors and gover-
nance models would need to be clearly
identifed for such a system to work.
Aging infrastructures would need to be
identifed and costs deferred fairly. Op-
portunities for certifcation, education
and equal hiring made available to peo-
ple in the geographic region., including
Aboriginal peoples, and not just tribal
councils, into the geographic discus-
sions. There should be no privatization
of the system.
Foy concluded the discussions by em-
phasizing that the government is hop-
ing to engage Albertans in the discus-
sions around water and the results of
the open houses will be consolidated
and posted online. The next step will be
to come up with policies for water from
the open house suggestions and Foy
said there would be a second round of
public discussion on that. Anyone not at
the sessions can submit their respons-
es to the issue electronically at www.
waterconversation.alberta.ca through
email or complete the online workbook.

To give the gift of life is the most precious gift of
all, but some people may never know just how much
their decisions are truly appreciated. It was 20 years
ago, on Feb. 6, 1993, when Colleen Best received a
liver transplant that saved her life.
All they told us was the organ was donated by a
family. There had been a car accident in Kelowna and
the family had agreed to donate the organs. I dont
know if they donated more or not, said Best.
Neither the patient nor the donating family learn
the identities of the other. Things are kept confden-
tial to respect the privacy of both parties.
In 1991 Best had been a single mom who was run-
ning a daycare out of her home. One day she began
feeling ill, she had pains in her abdomen and was
often fatigued. She was 39 at the time.
My family doctor told me that I was in end stage
liver disease which just threw me because end stage
you think what the heck. So I went straight to the li-
brary and I looked it up and I think they said usually
that gives you a range of about fve years, said Best.
He didnt say anything about transplant at the time,
he just said that was the diagnosis and they would do
more testing.
The cause of the liver disease was Hepatitis C. Best
had gotten Hepatitis C when she was quite young. It
become chronic, which happens to about three per
cent of affected people, and it ate away at her slowly.
When she frst began to feel ill she knew could no
longer run her daycare, and so Best made the deci-
sion to go back to school to fnd a sit down job. She
had applied to Douglas College in British Columbia
to take a community support worker program before
receiving her diagnosis.
So Im thinking what do I do, do I try and go ahead
and do this, or do I just quit everything and just be
sick. So I went to college, said Best.
It was later in that same year when she found out
she had Esophageal Varices, which is caused by liver
failure and can cause internal bleeding. After doctors
repaired the problem, Best was sent to a specialist.
He said the Esophageal Varices would kill me be-
fore my liver failed. So the big rush was because of
the Varices, and the only thing that they could do to
stop that Varices was give me a transplant, said Best.
Just before that I had met Earl. He had three kids,
I had two kids and he knew I was sick but he didnt
know what was wrong. He came with me to this ap-
pointment where they talked to me about the trans-
plant. I knew at that point this is where hes either
going to say bye-bye or hes going to stick with me.
He said he wanted to marry me, so we kind of did this
journey together.
She had no family nearby, other than her children,
to help her through it. Her mom and dad had died
previously and the rest of her family was back east.
Between Earls love and support, and the support
from the church the family made do.
By this time Best was beginning to get boils, she
would bruise easily and her blood sugar levels were
affected. She was still in college when she had an-
other Esophageal Varices episode. This time she was
given a pager and told she was on the transplant wait-
ing list.
We went through a few months of that, and that
was interesting because every time the pager went off
you think this is it, said Best.
Once a week the hospital would test the pager to
make sure it was working, so that would be one false
alarm, and then there could be wrong numbers com-
ing in. The pager went off too many times, bringing
with it at frst a sense of hope, and then disappoint-
ment when it wasnt the call they were waiting for.
She had the pager for eight months, and was told
she had one of the longest waits for an organ. So much
was happening in her life at that time. There were the
fve kids who ranged from ages 7 to 14-years-old. She
and Earl had gotten married almost a year earlier, she
had fnished college, and in January had begun work-
ing at the Burnaby School District. It was in February
when the call came in.
You expect it to go through the pager because
youve got this stupid thing, and you think thats how
youre going to fnd out, but we were laying in bed
and heard the phone ring and Earl said this is it, he
just knew, said Best.
Our oldest daughter answered the phone, we
could hear her, and said Im sorry shes sleepingI
said shes sleepingoh, oh just a minute, she came
running down with the phone.
It was around lunchtime on February 6, 1993 when
Earl and Colleen Best walked into the Vancouver
General Hospital. They saw the helicopter land and
the courier carrying the ice box with her new organ.
The surgical team prepped her, and she and Earl had
a prayer together to calm each other before saying
goodbye.
Saying goodbye at the operating room doors was
one of the toughest things for Best, she felt vulner-
able and exposed.
You dont know if youre going to wake up here or
there, and what youre leaving behind, are you going
to come back to it. Its so big, said Best.
I went in to surgery, and I wasnt scared of the
surgery which was interesting, it was just such a big
deal, I think the biggest thing was Earl and the kids.
She had also been told sometimes the surgical team
begins the procedure only to fnd the donated organ
is damaged in some way. The patient is then sewn
back up and continues to sit on the waiting list. Sur-
gery began late in the afternoon. Earl was sent home
to the kids after being told it was going to be a long
one.
He came back in the morning and the frst thing I
heard was his voice talking to a nurse and so I knew
that I was here, said Best.
Seeing someone after a transplant can be tough.
There are tubes and wires coming out of every where
it seems, a wall of monitors and people sitting at the
end of the bed monitoring. No one prepared Earl for
what he would be walking in to.
When Best frst opened her eyes she wasnt able to
talk because of a tube in her throat, so Earl handed
her a piece of paper and pencil. What she was trying
to get across was do I have a new liver but on paper
it looked like an N with a squiggle to an E and then to
a W, but that was enough for Earl to know what she
was asking. She had a new liver, and she was going
to survive.
I dont think the family that donates the organ can
hardly realize how appreciative (you are) and what
a difference it makes to our whole family. It was life
and death. I sent a card through the transplant society
to get to them, but even a card doesnt express the
appreciation, the gratitude you have every single day,
every day you wake up grateful to be there and its
because of that family, said Best.
You really do learn to appreciate every moment
and make the best of every moment because it can be
taken from you pretty quickly.
Some people cant accept the thought of somebody
else being a part of them, but for Best it is something
she embraces and sees as the gift and blessing that
it is.
When she had her transplant the longest living liv-
er transplant recipient was 20 years, a mark she has
beaten this year. There are some complications, she
doesnt have a good immune system and she cant
fght bacterial infections very well. Viral infections
seem to drag on, but otherwise she is pretty healthy.
Ten years after her transplant she was told the new
liver was being affected by the Hepatitis C. Having
another transplant wasnt an option, but there was
a new trial drug called Pegatron that they could try.
Best had to get shots for a year, and she said it was
almost like a mild chemotherapy. She lost her hair,
and lost a lot of weight, had sores and nausea.
It wasnt fun but at the end of the year I was clear,
clean and I dont have Hepatitis C, said Best.
Every six months Best visit the transplant unit, and
she goes for regular check ups with her doctor. This
year she and Earl put a thank you ad in the Kelowna
newspaper, thanking the unknown family who do-
nated the liver.
I dont know why I got lucky because there are a
lot of people who just dont get the organs, said Best.
For me that one organ has affected 22 people di-
rectly. It does give you a greater appreciation, you
have a new lease on life and you tend to push as
much as you can into a day as you can.
There are many people who die waiting for a trans-
plant, and even though you may have an organ donor
card in your wallet, ultimately it is up to the family
whether or not your organs will actually be harvested.
The real message is awareness, you need to think
of it ahead of time so that if you are ever in the posi-
tion where you have to make that decision, would
you donate your loved ones organs that you can au-
tomatically say yes without giving it a lot of thought,
because once you start thinking about it, it could get
a little gruesome, said Best.
According to the Canadian Society of Transplan-
tation, more than 4,000 Canadians are waiting for
a transplant to save their lives. Last year only 1,803
transplants were performed, and 195 patients died
while waiting.
Thanks to one familys quick decisions and selfess act Colleen Best
has been given a second chance at life. in 1991 she was diagnosed
with end stage liver disease, and in 1993 a family in Kelowna do-
nated their loved ones organs after there had been a fatal car crash.

The Student Leadership Council (SLC) at Strathmore High School organized a successful scavenger hunt,
which ended on march 26. The event was a homeroom challenge and almost all 36 homerooms partici-
pated. The idea was to bolster some school spirit through friendly, although sometimes heated, competition
said SLC member Jonah Zankl. Students were armed with a list of everything from a dill pickle, to a Town
Councillor, recliner couch and even a Grandma. each item was awarded points, and the more outrageous
the item the more points, such as a drivable vehicle older than 1975, which was worth 200 points.
in addition, each homeroom had to bring a list of mandatory items to win - these were basic toiletries,
journals, puzzle books and some other small things, all of which are being donated to the Community Crisis
Shelter. The top three teams were: ms mcDonalds homeroom who will get a trip to the movies, mr. Fules
homeroom who will have a pizza party, and mr. Flaws/mr. Clark who win the notion of being third.

Struggling to fnd a way to ft in is a
tough journey for some kids. Overcom-
ing obstacles in their lives can just be
too much and without someone to help
or somewhere to go, they shut down,
act out or fall into activity on the dark
side of life. The Anchors II outreach pro-
gram, running out of Crowther Memo-
rial Junior High School, hopes to catch
the kids that fall through the cracks in
the system and put them back on track.
We are really the last step. They have
so many interventions out there, but
these students are the ones that nothing
else has worked. Everything had been
exhausted. A lot of them have struggled
in school and sometimes they just shut
down. They just need a place to reset,
said Rita Krugar, Outreach coordinator
and teacher.
The Anchors program has been in
practise for fve years. They hold classes
in the Youth Club building. The students
must be in Grade 7-9 and are referred
by teachers at Crowther because of se-
vere learning diffculties, high risk be-
haviour problems, or substance abuse.
About half of the students are from a
group home setting.
The goal is to integrate them back
into the school program, with the hope
they will continue and graduate.
It doesnt take long until they be-
come part of this community and feel
that they ft in. They are building peer
relationships and they take care of each
other. The smaller groups work really
well. They dont ft anywhere else. So
when they ft in here, they feel that
sense of community, said Krugar.
Krugar said they focus on the stu-
dents basic needs frst, giving them the
skills to be successful, because those
skills dont just come naturally to them.
A lot of the students come from pretty
rough backgrounds.
Students work with family school re-
source workers and attend group ses-
sions. The students run the canteen in
the main school, which provides them
with work experience. They also have
a mentor program where nursing stu-
dents from Mount Royal University
(MRU) partner with the students and
form learning relationships. The Mount
Royal Students are in their second year
of community nursing. They have done
programs like sexual health, nutrition
and identifying resources in the com-
munity with the Anchors II classes, and
take the students on feld trips to the
MRU.
While there is a therapeutic compo-
nent, this becomes much more than a
clinical placement; they become pas-
sionate about the students and care
about their long term outcomes. There
are so many positive stories coming
back.They are learning from the kids
and staff and in the meantime hope
to give something back, said Heather
Dirks, MRU nursing instructor, who
calls the process service learning.
The students said that forming rela-
tionships with the nurses was impor-
tant, a major factor in their decision to
go further with their education.
Jessica Clarke graduated from An-
chors II last year and is back in high
school at Strathmore High. She said the
program made her a better student and
helped her understand her anger issues.
She was looking forward to seeing her
former classmates and the nursing stu-
dents that made a difference for her.
Krugar said the program has a good
success rate, with only a handful of stu-
dents who dont integrate back into the
school system.
Everyone has value and everyone
has skills. We just need to highlight
what they are and get them back on the
right path, so they can make meaning-
ful contributions to society, said Kru-
gar.
The celebration at Crowther Memo-
rial on March 26 was to reconnect and
thank special donators from the com-
munity for helping them raise $12,000
that was put towards IPads and tech-
nology for the students to use.
The Anchors ii outreach program past and present students celebrated with their mentors, the mount
Royal University Nursing students on march 26, at Samuel Crowther School. The groups worked
together on a fund raising project that netted $12,000 for the students iPads and Technology, to help
them in their studies. Jovencio Bautista Jr., Worshipful master of the Concord mason Lodge in Cal-
gary (far right) gets a big card of appreciation from teacher Rita Kruger, for the donation given to the
program.

Almost 150 kids, including half a
dozen local players, took part in the
South Zone selection camp for the
2013 ATB Alberta Cup this past week-
end, March 29-31, at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
The players were divided into eight
teams and hit the ice for three games,
trying to catch the eyes of the evalu-
ators and earn a spot on the South
Zone roster.
The 2013 ATB Alberta Cup will take
place at the Strathmore Family Centre
April 25-28.
It was a fantastic (weekend) the
kids were great, they gave it their all,
the parent were dynamite I was
very impressed, said Neil Glionna,
Director of Operations for the South
team, of the evaluation camp. Hock-
ey Alberta lays out everything and we
just follow their direction, (so every-
thing) is fair.
Second year bantam-aged players
from the zone which essentially
spans from Medicine Hat, Brooks, Le-
thbridge, Taber, Okotoks, High River,
Canmore, Cochrane, Airdrie, Chester-
mere, Strathmore and between took
part in the camp, trying to make the
team.
The South Zone team will host Cal-
gary North, Calgary South, Central,
Edmonton North, Edmonton South,
Northeast and Northwest at this
month tournament.
The ATB Alberta Cup is the premier
hockey event in the province that
helps identify the top players from
each zone. In addition to player eval-
uations, the competition is also an op-
portunity for administrators, coaches,
trainers and referees to be evaluated
for future positions within the Team
Alberta U16 and Team Pacifc Pro-
grams.
According to Glionna, all the teams
at the upcoming tournament will
spread the ice-time evenly so the
evaluators of the U16 squad are com-
paring the same thing.
The coaches (of the U16 team),
they want to compare apples with ap-
ples, so everything is done the same,
said Glionna. During the Alberta
Cup, the teams will rotate their lines.
You cant have a power play, you cant
have a penalty kill, you cant double-
shift a player you roll all four lines
and all three sets of defencemen.
Even though it is a competition,
the ultimate goal is that there are 160
kids being judged on making the U16
team and how can you judge if the
kids arent getting equal shifts?
Choosing their roster
Bantam aged hockey players gave it their best shot this past weekend, March 30 and 31, as they tried out
for a spot in the Alberta Cup coming to Strathmore later this month.
Golden season!

After great success last year, the
second annual elementary school
basketball program is now underway
in Strathmore.
Coaches and players from the bas-
ketball teams of Strathmore High
School and Crowther Memorial Ju-
nior High School are teaching Grade
5 and 6 students the fundamentals
of the game. The program began two
weeks ago and will run until the end
of April, fnishing with a 3-on-3 tour-
nament that begins on April 26.
We wanted to capture the enthu-
siasm from hosting provincials this
year, said Strathmore High School
Associate Principal and senior boys
team coach Kyle Larson, who is also
running the program. We are excit-
ed to be doing this again. We ran it
last year, and received great reviews
from the elementary school princi-
pals.
This year, the program has grown
with the number of enrolments hav-
ing gone up. The kids that are in the
program will learn skills such as ball
handling and shooting, and will each
have a basketball in their hands.
Its still very much about skill de-
velopment, said Larson. Last year,
we were quite happy with how well
and how quickly the kids developed,
and how they played in the tourna-
ment at the end of the year.
The idea behind the program is to
introduce the game to the kids with
the goal of having them develop a
love for basketball, and possibly play
on the teams in junior and senior
high.
Unlike the winter sports such as
ringette and hockey, there is no bas-
ketball available to the elementary
school kids around town, Larson
said.
Larson also mentioned that with
the coaches taking some of their
players to help out, it will be a great
beneft for the kids in the program.
The kids connect well with the
players because they are closer in
age, he said.

The Strathmore Storm bantam girls hockey
team, which plays in the Rocky Mountain Female
Hockey League (RMFHL), was one of the winners
of a contest sponsored by STAGG Chili.
The contest was part of a program called
STAGG Chili Save for Success, where STAGG
would contribute $1 for every save made by WHL
and OHL goalies up to $30,000.
The contest details were sent to minor hockey
teams across Western Canada and Ontario via e-
mail, and called for the teams to submit a creative
photo ad that involved the teams and a STAGG
product. Photos submitted were then put to an
online vote on www.staggchili.ca, and the top
fve teams per region would earn a cheque for
$3,000.
When the Storm Bantam Girls decided to enter
the contest, Katey Angermeyer, one of the players
on the team, took the photo that was submitted
to STAGG. When the contest was over, the team
placed third in the Western Canada Conference
with 860 votes.
The girls were ecstatic when they heard that
they won, said Fern Pagenkopf, Strathmore Mi-
nor Hockey Association Female Director. They
were happy that their efforts (to get votes) paid
off.
In addition to winning a cheque for $3,000
for Strathmore Minor Hockey, the team also got
to attend the Calgary Hitmen playoff game on
March 21, where they were honoured. They also
got to appear in a commercial that will appear
on the big screens in Canadian Hockey League
arenas, including during Calgary Flames games.
It was the experience of a lifetime for the
girls, Pagenkopf said. They had a great time at
the game and doing the commercial.
When asked if the team would enter the con-
test again next year, Pagenkopf simply said,
most defnitely.
To view the submission made by the Storms
Bantam Girls team, visit the contest winners
website at www.staggchili.ca/winners/. To view
the other entries in the contest, visit www.stag-
gchili.ca/vote.
The Strathmore Storm bantam girls hockey team
won third place and a cheque for $3,000 after plac-

contest. in addition to the cheque, the team was also
invited to attend a Calgary Hitmen hockey game on
march 21.

The Strathmore High School Spartans
badminton team is doing well after the
frst month of its 2013 season.
The team, which is coached by Ken-
ton Zandee, started its season on March
2, following a competitive tryout.
They went very well, and there was
great competition, Zandee said of the
tryouts. But we had to make cuts be-
cause there just werent enough spots
for everyone.
Since starting play, the team has been
doing really well in each of the three
tournaments it has played in so far, led
by the juniors who are winning gold
medals in many of the disciplines they
compete in.
Zandee hopes that the team contin-
ues its great performance once play re-
sumes in a tournament being held in
Lethbridge when spring break is over.
We are gearing up towards zones
in Cochrane (at the end of April), and
I feel that we have a strong chance to
win (them), he said. We hope to win
(zones, and make it to provincials in
Calgary on May 3 and 4).
As the season has progressed, Zan-
dee has seen an increase in the skill
level of the players on the team.
Strathmore High School badminton
team off to a good start
We are steadily climbing the rank-
ings, he said. (The players) have a lot
of motivation, and what I see in the
practices is that they are trying to do
(things) right.
However, the team has not done any-
thing different this season compared to
last season.
We havent changed any of the strat-
egies, Zandee said. Its just making
sure we keep up our motivation (and
our progress, and keep having good
practices).
One challenge that Zandee men-
tioned is that, at the zones at the end
of April, his team may face a team at
some point that they may not have seen
during the regular season, as happened
last year at the zones.

With spring now here, despite the
cooler temperatures, the Strathmore
Minor Soccer Federation is getting
ready to start its outdoor season.
The SMFA hopes that the season
will start during the frst week of May,
weather permitting.
Registration numbers are up from
last year, and the hope is that there
will be boys and girls teams at the
U10, U12, and U14 levels, with a girls
team at the U16 level. The U10 and
older teams will play in leagues run by
the Calgary Minor Soccer Association,
while the younger teams will play in a
house league.
SMFA President Mark Shorhen is
looking forward to the upcoming sea-
son.
(I would like to see) the older age
groups win some (CMSA league) cham-
pionships, and make it to provincials,
he said. We are also (still) building new
(soccer) felds behind the Wal-Mart.
Hopefully, well have the grand
opening in mid-May. Once they are
open, we would like to use them as
much as possible.
Shorhen also mentioned that there
will not be too many things done dif-
ferently this year compared to last
year. Instead, he is looking forward to
improving on what has already been
done.
We are slowly improving our reg-
istrations, he said. We are also start-
ing to have more coach training, and
are moving forward with bringing the
sport to the kids. We would like to give
players more aspects of the sport, and
we are doing this by having more prac-
tices.
Shorhen said that, weather permit-
ting, there will also be training sessions
and practices for teams that will be
scheduled in April to help prepare for
the season.
However, Shorhen does hope that
the kids that participate in the outdoor
season have fun while also learning
some things along the way.
I hope that the kids use this as
something to release their energy and
get exercise, he said. Also, I hope
that they learn about teamwork (and
working with others), and learn about
sportsmanship.

As hockey begins to windup athletes
are switching gears and preparing for
spring and summer sports. The lacrosse
season is right around the corner, set
to begin in just a few weeks, and this
year there is a new team being added
to the roster. The junior ladies program
for girls ages 16 -21 will be added to the
list, allowing older girls a chance to stay
in their home area and keep playing. In
the past there had been a girls junior
team, but interest seemed to wane and
it has been a few years since Strathmore
has been able to feld a team.
The last two years we have had a
girls team in bantam and a girls team
in midget, a lot of those girls now are
at the junior age and so there was just
more interest at that age group, and
then we had a coach step upand we
submitted a team, said Strathmore La-
crosse President Todd Betterton.
The real success story is the number
of registrations that weve had. When I
have talked to other presidents around
the Calgary and area districts theyre
seeing fat population growth or even
some decline. Weve got a 30 per cent
increase in our registrations this year.
Strathmore lacrosse prepares for upcoming season
So weve gone from about 150 kids to
over 200 kids, which really just speaks
to all the hard work that all the volun-
teers put in, that its really starting to
pay off.
I always talk about, and want to
thank, all of the volunteers over the
years who have helped lacrosse grow,
and its just a testament to their passion
for the game on where our registration
numbers are at this year.
Word of mouth and quality game play
are reasons Betterton thinks the num-
bers are growing. Lacrosse is also a nat-
ural crossover sport for hockey players,
and provides them with a way to keep
busy through the spring.
As soon as the ice starts coming out
of the local rinks in April there will be
practices and evaluations taking place.
Because the Alberta Cup is coming to
Strathmore at the end of April, Better-
ton said it will be tough for lacrosse,
who will have to fnd facilities for their
kids to run evaluations and get in some
conditioning before the season starts.
Betterton has been the president of
Strathmore Lacrosse for the past few
years, and is looking to move on in
the lacrosse community. His daughter
will be playing in the junior level, so
he suspects he will remain involved in
lacrosse for years to come.
I am looking to hand the reins off
to a new fresh leader who can do great
things for the club. My legacy will be
to hopefully leave the club with regis-
tration growth, with fscal responsibility
which we do have and just more inter-
est, said Betterton.

WILLMS, Verna
Genevieve
July 1934 - March 2013
Verna passed away
unexpectedly on Friday, the 29th of March.
She was born in Calgary, the daughter of
Joseph and Ion Garnett, and was raised
together with her brother Jack on a farm near
Carseland, Alberta. Following graduation
from University, Verna taught school in
Namaka. During that time, she was married
to Milton Willms, her husband for the next 57
years. Together they lived and farmed many
years in the Namaka area, raising a family of
three. They relocated to Strathmore in the fall
of 2008. Throughout her life, Verna remained
very active in the community and her church.
She took special pleasure in following and
supporting the interests and activities of
her children and grandchildren. Verna was
also an avid sports fan, in particular, curling
and of course, her beloved Flames and
Stampeders. Always the loyal fan, many
nights saw Milt retire for the evening while
Verna remained in front of the television
until the fnal stone was thrown or buzzer
had sounded. She will be greatly missed
by her husband, Milt; her two daughters,
Tami (Derek) Brown and Marci (Ross)
Wilson; and her son, Greg. Verna will also be
missed by her four granddaughters, Ashley
(Stephen) Otis, Stephanie Brown, Jayden
Wilson, and Rylee Wilson, and numerous
friends and relatives. To send condolences
please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome.
ca. A memorial service will be conducted
in her memory on Wednesday, April 3rd,
2013 at the Strathmore Alliance Church
(325-1st Avenue, Strathmore) at 1:00 p.m..
A scholarship is being established in Vernas
memory, with the intent of promoting further
education for High School Rodeo barrel
racers through Ambrose University College in
Calgary, Alberta. In lieu of fowers, donations
directly to this scholarship fund are welcome.

The Strathmore Girls Fastpitch Soft-
ball teams are getting ready for the
2013 season with spring now here.
League games for all age groups be-
gin during the last weekend in April,
followed by mid-week games. There
are also various tournaments that the
teams will participate in during the
season. A total of nine teams will play,
with three U10 Mite teams, two U12
Squirt teams, two U14 Pee Wee teams,
one U16 Bantam team, and one U18
Midget team.
One change for this year is that all of
the provincial representative teams will
fall under the Strathmore Thunder
club name, with the U12 to U18 levels
each having a rep team.
There are high expectations on all of
the teams participating this year.
We began last season with U16 go-
ing A level for the frst time, (and) that
is the highest level in fastpitch softball,
said Strathmore Minor Ball Association
Girls Director Lanky Johnson. So the
goal this year is (to have) all Thunder
provincial teams play at a minimum B
level in provincials, and work towards
A level.
Specifcally, this years U18 team has
a lot of pressure on it. After having a
very successful season last year as the
U16 team, where they won a bronze
medal at A provincials, and then plac-
ing ffth in the Western Canadian cham-
pionships, they will be expected to re-
peat.
2013 will be a challenge again,
(with) moving up to U18 and trying
to do it all (over) again, said Johnson.
They know what it takes for that elite
level, and that is the biggest hurdle.
However, Johnson also believes that
the other provincial representative
teams can achieve success this season.
Our U12, U14, and U16 provincial
teams are all capable to medal this year
at provincials, he said.
A signifcant factor for these high ex-
pectations is the talent level that the
teams have this season.
We have never had so much young
talent in our younger levels, so if they
remain working and enjoying it with
their friends, B and A will not be hard
to achieve for years, said Johnson.
Then as they grow, it can help them
with possible college scholarships to go
with education and life advancements.
Despite the expectations, Johnson
feels that the overall goal for everyone
is to enjoy themselves and have fun, re-
gardless of what level they are playing
at.
