Arrest
made in
Langdon
assault
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter
A woman who was attacked at
the Botsford Delicatessen in Langdon last week is home and recovering.
Patrick Geddes, 38, from Langdon
was arrested by Calgary Police and
has been remanded into custody.
Geddes has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, attempted
murder and forcible confinement.
On April 16, at approximately 6:20 a.m. a call came in to the
Strathmore
RCMP
detachment
about a woman in her 50s who had
been assaulted in a local business.
The woman, who was reportedly
stabbed, was taken immediately to
hospital by EMS. Police then asked
the public to be on the look-out for
a 2000 blue Chevy Tracker that had
no license plate and was missing
the rear bumper. Police cautioned
against approaching the vehicle if it
was spotted, and instead asked that
911 be called.
Tips that came in helped the investigators find the missing vehicle.
The vehicle was found about 18
hours after the initial event, and it
was found in Calgary as a result
of tips from the public. We actually had several reports throughout
the day of people who had seen it
hours earlier, those reports at least
gave us a general idea of where the
vehicle was headed and what area
it was in, said Sgt. Steve Vince of
the Strathmore RCMP.
Without those types of tips it
would be next to impossible to find
a vehicle in a city of over a million
people.
Vince said the victim and the suspect did casually know each other.
Geddes was scheduled to appear in
Calgary Provincial Court on April
20.

Teacher in running for Me to We award

SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter

Strathmore High School (SHS) teacher Christine Magill is
in the final three for the national Canadian Living Me to We
awards under the educator section. The award recognizes Canadians who are making extraordinary impacts in the world
for things ranging from spearheading fundraising campaigns
to founding their own social justice organizations.
Magill said she was overwhelmed and excited when she
heard that she had been nominated for the award.
It is such a big honour to know that someone feels that
youve had a positive influence on others, said Magill.
Her passion first came after she had the opportunity to visit
Ghana when she first began teaching.
It kind of really exposed me to a lot of the challenges in
communities and the challenges involved in NGOs working
successfully to create change and to assist the communities
in rebuilding things like their education systems, so I got really interested in Free the Children when I returned from that
trip, said Magill.
She was so involved and inspired by the organization that
in 2010 she planned a trip to Kenya with some of her SHS
students. They all had the chance to see first hand how the
program really worked, and the impact and benefits it has on
the communities its in.
The students I brought back from that trip went on to form
a club the following year, they became really passionate about
it, so we have gone from a club where we had four or five
students that have gone to Kenya, to now having 25 to 30 kids
involved, said Magill.
Seeing that level of interest from her students she said is
one of the most rewarding things that can happen as a teacher, and is something that has even further ignited her passion.
Smiles for miles

SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter

On May 1 Strathmores Bailee Simonin will be hosting a Smiles for Miles
Spring Charity Car Wash at the No Frills
Gas Bar. Simonin is a contestant in the
upcoming Miss Universe Canada competition, and as part of the pageant
each contestant must host a charity
event. This year the charity of choice
for the pageant is Operation Smile.
Operation Smile is a non-profit organization that was created to provide
children and young adults around the
world, mainly in third world countries,
with free surgery for cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
In addition to the car wash there will
be pizza available to purchase by the
slice, donated by Boston Pizza (BP).
There will also be members of the
Strathmore Fire Department volunteering their time; a bake sale and BPs
mascot Lionel will be out.
Were also going to do pictures, so

Christine Magill is currently one of three educator finalists competing for the
national Canadian Living Me to We award.
Sometimes its easy to think that things are impossible or

we cant create change, but every day I get to see students
who say yes, we can create change why dont we do this.
(Theyre) just full of excitement and ideas to make a difference, so then it makes you really want to do your best to help
those students achieve those dreams, said Magill.
If she is honoured with the award, Magill said the most
important thing to her is that she will get $1,000 to put to a
charity of her choice. She is involved with the Rwandan Community in Calgary, and said there is a charity in Calgary called
Inspire Africa that does amazing work with the survivors of
the genocide.
I have gotten so much from the Rwandan community so it
would be nice to give something back and know that its going
to help survivors, said Magill.
Voting is done online and wraps up on May 8. To cast your
vote go to http://www.metowe.com/living-me-to-we/livingme-to-we-awards click on vote now, and find Magill under the
educators section.
be there as well, said Simonin.

The car wash will be by donation,
with no actual minimum requirement.
We dont have an actual price for the
car wash, its just going to be whatever
people feel like donating, said Simonin.
From now until the pageant, which begins with preliminaries on May 21, and
ends with the finals on May 23, people
are also encouraged to cast a vote for
their favourite contestant online as part
of the Peoples Choice award. You can
vote every six hours, up to four times a
day at missuniversecanada.ca/vote/.
The winner of the Peoples Choice
award, automatically moves into semifinals, said Simonin.
The Miss Universe Canada competition is not televised, but there will be
a live stream at www.missuniversecanada.ca. Anyone who wants to make a
donation to Operation Smile, or wants
more information, can contact Siminon
by email at baileesimonin@gmail.com.
Simonin is also competing to become
Miss Calgary on May 9, and is selling
tickets to that competition right now
for $50 per person. The pageant will be

Regimental Ball
MANNY EVERETT
Times Contributor

Since they came west in 1874, the
RCMP have been welcomed into each
of the communities they serve, and the
April 18 Regimental Ball at the Gleichen and District Community Hall was
a chance for the Gleichen RCMP Detachment to express their thanks for
that welcome.
This is a chance to say thank-you for
all the support the communities give,
said Gleichen RCMP Staff Sergeant
James McLaren. We couldnt do our job
without it.
The feeling is mutual.
We have a very positive relationship
with the RCMP and we want to continue to build on it with them, said Siksika Chief Vincent Yellow Old Woman.
The hall was filled with over 120
people from the three communities the
detachment serves - Wheatland County,
the Siksika Nation and Vulcan County for an evening of dining, dancing and
fundraising.
RCMP Superintendent Tony Hamori,
who oversees RCMP operations in Alberta from Olds to the U.S. border, said
Most detachments hold a ball every
other year, as a fundraiser, usually for
the local victim services group, as they
are key to the work we do.
Strathmore Victim Services Society,
and with the Gleichen Community Hall
were the beneficiaries of the evenings
fundraising effort.
In his remarks to the gathering,
McLaren noted that when the first

marched west in 1874, they left family
and friends at home to answer the call
to service.
Today the same thing happens as
members leave home to be posted
across the country, as well as each time
the phone rings and they walk out the
door, he said.
But this affects more than just the
members.
Being in the RCMP is a calling, that
at times is cold and hard on our families, said McLaren.
Addressing the families of the members McLaren said I will do everything
in my power to keep your loved ones
safe.
Since the 1880s the RCMP have had
a presence in the Gleichen area. Today
there are 21 members and four support
staff at the Gleichen detachment.
McLaren, who is in the final months
of his posting to Gleichen, spoke highly of the detachment and the communities it serves. This is my ninth post in
22 years of service and it has been one
of my favourites, he said.

Capsule Comments
Six ounces of orange juice contains about 75 mg of
vitamin C. If you are taking iron supplements, take
it with some orange juice. The vitamin C helps the
body absorb the iron better.
The number-crunchers who keep track of
worldwide life expectancy have reported
the
average life expectancy of the people of the world
in 1990 was 65.3 years. In 2013 it had risen to 71.5
years and if we continue in this manner, by 2030, it
will be 85.3 years. So healthcare is getting better
around the world and we are gaining on many of
the causes of early death like measles, malaria and
diarrhea.
We all are aware of the dangers of smoking. One
danger often overlooked is that its a significant risk
for gum disease. Smoking reduces blood flow to the
gums which deprives them of oxygen and nutrients
that keep them healthy. Smokers are four times as
likely to suffer from gum disease than those who
have never smoked.
If you are going to have surgery soon and are taking
herbal products routinely, it might be advisable to
discontinue them a week or so before surgery. Some
herbals like garlic, ginseng, feverfew, ginkgo and
Devils claw have varied effects on blood clotting
that might result in excessive blood loss during
surgery.
There is a lot of hype out there about herbal
products. There is a phrase that says marketing
outweighs science. What is true and what is hype?
In our pharmacy, we have sources that help us get to
the science of the matter.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Who is my neighbour?
To the Editor
Who is my neighbour? To answer this question, Jesus told a
parable of the Good Samaritan, which speaks directly to the coming Alberta election. In an age of political correctness where politicians hide behind policies and procedures that have the capacity to handicap the dreams and desires of citizens, to mention the
name of Jesus raises the hackles of the politically correct.
Who is my neighbour? In Jesus parable it was the down trodden, the poor citizen set upon and left on the roadside to die.
We have developed many organizations to enable us to meet the
needs of our neighbours with compassion and kindness. But this
Prentice PC government has decided to reduce our incentive to
support groups who are on the front line of having compassion
on the needy the charitable organizations in Alberta.

The PCs are reducing our charitable tax deductions
in the name of balancing a provincial budget. We all
support these charitable organizations: service clubs,
educational institutions, churches, hospital and health
care societies, recreational organizations, sports charities, arts organizations, youth organizations, community enhancement societies, local and international
relief organizations we, the donors and volunteers
are on front lines helping our neighbours.
Who in their right mind deliberately kicks someone
when they are down? If one does this to an animal
one could be charged with animal cruelty. Who tries
to balance a provincial budget on the backs of charities that are trying to meet the needs of the neediest? Obviously political correctness has removed this
government so far from what Jesus advocated that it

has lost sight of fundamental neighbourly obligations.
Who is our neighbour? Who tries to balance a budget on the backs of the most vulnerable, the least capable of speaking for themselves? Who tries to balance a budget on the backs of those who provide
charitable support to the organizations meeting our
neighbours needs?
Who has the audacity build a re-election campaign
with such an unjust plank its platform? The long-entrenched PC party in Alberta is trying it and might just
get re-elected! Its time we stand up to this political
folly and do what is right!
LaVerne Erickson,

As April Fool Winds started up in Strathmore, the club got together at the Library
and started their seeds. I wasnt able to make it in, however my family pitched in
to help me start some seedlings. We had some plug packs, and for those environmentally green people we reused some egg cartons easier for transplanting
and dissolving into the soil. Thought we would start off with flowers and veggies
like corn and cucumbers as it is very windy not a lot of shelter where we live.
The Month of May is YOUR CHOICE PLANTERS ---bring all you need to finish
off a special planter you may want to work on. Some ideas maybe: fairy gardens,
succulent planters, or even maybe a living wreath as Mothers Day is coming up.
If this interests you, we hope to see you at
The Strathmore Public Library (meeting Room)

on Wednesday, May 6th at 7pm-9pm.
Here is a picture of an Amaryllis - Apple Bloom that we forced, as promised.

Have a great week and enjoy that beautiful sunshine!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Speaking for residents

To the Editor
Why are we muzzling our elected public representatives? Forget the PC vetting members, three times in
the County of Wheatland are an elected official has
been censored.
First it was a Golden Hills School Division board
member from Standard, then the mayor of Strathmore
and now a county councillor.
Why cant our elected officials talk to anyone and
everyone and broadcast the issues to get the public
talking about any pros or cons they see in the undertakings of the government on our behalf?
It is the publics projects and the publics money.
The government is accountable to the public. The
public and our elected members have the right to give
their opinions on what councils are discussing.
All we hear is how transparent the governments
will become, the public keeps demanding it but then
you go to a board/council meeting, you cant talk and
you wont see the discussion on your topic either, it
will be in camera.
When an open house for the public is held the
meeting is orchestrated with processes in place that
restrict people from having a debate; every tactic
available is used to put a gag on the public discussion. We seldom have any idea what negotiations are
taking place on the publics behalf or what the persons who represent us think about them and when
we do get a representative that wants to engage the

public they are muzzled.
We elected these people because we felt they
shared our ideas. I want to know all sides and I want
to hear what my representative thinks and why any of
the council is for or against a project. Democracy
works because of debates. Boards/councils get along
by respecting each officials viewpoint whether they
agree with it or not. Motions let democracy rule.
Shame on the councils who take the voice away
from the public. They have obviously lost the concept
of what their position is, dont understand transparency and have forgotten that all of the governments
business is our business because we are the public.
The muzzling seems to occur with the new representatives, those who may not agree with the status quo.
Its definitely time for some representatives to step
aside if they can no longer tolerate a differing opinion
from their own; and more so if they think they should
keep government business private. Its not the reps
personal opinion we want, its the opinions of the
public the rep brings to council that counts.
The public doesnt engage with government bodies
very much and this could be one of the reasons
people are discouraged by just this sort of bully tactic.
Three times it has been quite apparent that a public representative is not happy with the discussions
within the council and want to speak with the public.
Is half a life time long enough to get it right?

To the Editor
If your fortunate to live to 88 most people would
say you had a good long life. Forty-four years of PCs
of being in power is half of most peoples life time.
The one thing that could be said about where we are
now is because of one party being in power.
Are you finally getting tired of hearing the same
old repeated message decade after decade, that we
need to wean ourselves off of oil and diversify? Are
you happy with the current state of affairs with our
society and its funding? Do you think if the PCs truly
had oil rich Albertas best interests in mind we would
be where we are today? If so then why are we not like
oil rich Norway who have shown the results of that
long term commitment in putting their people first?
They have free health care, education, great infrastructure, and money in the bank for all. Was our society so complex that it was not possible to even get
close to that result?
Or could it be that we have allow politicians to
feel that self entitlement, greed, looking after the
more fortunate and not living up to their responsibilities and promises has been accepted by us, and for
that effort should be rewarded by being re-elected .
If you think just because the PCs have a new face
to lead them that the vested interests of their internal
good old boys club is new too? Havent they already

proved their intentions by stating at first everything
was on the table and then it wasnt?
Ed Stelmach campaigned on and brought in a higher royalty at one point, did the sky fall in as was being
predicted by the major oil companies and politicians?
No. Did that decision last so we would have been in
better shape now? You already know the answer to
that. Cutbacks are coming to us all and particularly
the less fortunate, young and old.
Think about it, if you had let fear of the unknown
hold you back would you be where you are today?
Voting for change will send the message to all politicians that there is an expectation to holding promises and putting the people first, and a consequence
if you dont. Now is the time for that message and
particularly you young people as this is your future so
get involved and exercise your right to vote.
They say history is the best predictor of the future,
weve had 44 years of that history, is it time to try
something new? If not then youll be well advised to
hang on to the PCs mirror as most likely youll be
asked to look into it again, and the sad thing would
be theyll be right.

Bike season is here

To the Editor
Spring is upon us and the kids are out on their
bikes. If I may give them a small reminder remember, a bicycle is considered a vehicle; as such, you
need to:
1) Ride on the right side of the road. This is Canada,
not England.
2) Signal when you are going to turn either left or
right. You know your hand signals, right?
3) If you intend to ride on pathways, be sure to
have a bell to alert pedestrians that you are behind

them and wish to pass. Pedestrians dont have eyes in
the back of their heads, unlike moms.
4) If you plan on riding at night, you need lights on
your bike both front and back. You also need visible
clothing.
By following these rules of the road, you should
have a safe and happy summer.

Shame on us too for letting the boards/councils get away with

this type of bullying.
All our government bodies need a shake up. It is our duty to
get involved and lobby against policies that cripple the publics
access to government documents by imposing fees, policies that
stifles public debate and policies that even attach a financial fee
to election nomination papers for newcomers but not for incumbents.
Look at our governments ... are they working for us or have
they created a business model to look after the bureaucracy?

HE CANNOT FAIL
Therefore know that
the LORD your God, He
is God, the faithful God
who keeps covenant and
mercy for a thousand
generations with those
who love Him and keep
His commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9
God is a covenant keeper. He never forgets His
promises. In the midst of
our greatest battles, His
faithfulness remains sure.
When everything around
us falls apart, His faithfulness remains firm. He is
God when youre down;
He is God when youre
up. He does not depend
on your moods. He just
watches over His word to
perform it. If He promised
it, He will perform it. That
is the nature of our God.
The reality of our walk
with the Lord is that He
never abandons us even
when we feel abandoned.

The God on the mountain
is still God in the valley.
When things go wrong,
He will make them right.
The God of the good times
is still God in the bad
times. The God of the day,
is still God in the night.
Thank God, Hes still God
and nothing is too hard
for Him!
Thank God for his faithfulness! Thank God for his
promise to never leave
us! Thank God for his
power to heal, to bless,
to forgive and to wash us
from all sin! Thank God for
supplying our every need!
Thank God for his love,
His mercy and goodness.
He is a covenant keeping
God.
He cannot fail!

Election 2015
With an election called for May 5, we are asking the candidates questions to help you get to know them better. The
second question is What values would you bring to the
MLA position that you would not compromise and for
which you would be willing to be held accountable?
I value and bring to the MLA position,
accountability, balance, community service, determination and vision.
Accountability is when you make a
promise and you keep it, and you dont
promise anything you cant keep. Before the 2012 election the PC MLA accepted payment for committee work
that he never attended. Our previous Wildrose MLA made the decision
to cross the floor to become part of the PC government. I
promise I will not accept any pay that I havent earned nor
will I ever cross the floor. If a circumstance arises where
my beliefs no longer mesh with the Alberta Party, then I will
inform the people of Strathmore-Brooks and resign to ensure
the constituents have a democratic option in a by-election.
Balance is not fence sitting as some on the right like to
say. Balance is finding common ground that all can agree on
or at least accept. Balance is working together with different
parties to find solutions and not pound out ideology. Balance is also not overspending or under spending, but finding
the right amount and not spending one penny more.
I come from a village where community service has accomplished many great things over the years. They have
built a community hall, arena and curling rink. The villages

are working towards enhancing the new school.

Sometimes to ensure we all succeed, we put our
own aspirations on hold for the good of our community. I promise to work with all municipalities
within Strathmore-Brooks to build stronger and
sustainable communities; as well as the community service groups to achieve important projects
and initiatives.
People who know me know Im a determined
person. If there is a problem, I want to find a solution. I want things to work efficiently where the
outcome is positive. If we spend a lot of money
and have less than a positive outcome, then to me
that is waste. When we manage our resources so
well that we actually can do more with less, then
I believe that is much better.
I believe we all need a vision, a destination for
Alberta. We need to keep our feet grounded in

the present, but we also need to know where we
want to take Alberta, and we need to build the
road that will get us there. I will work with the
people and communities of Strathmore-Brooks to
bring their vision to the Legislature.
One value I didnt mention is courage. I promise
to represent you courageously and if that means
to vote against my party -if what they are proposing isnt good for Strathmore-Brooks, then I will.
Other parties talk about free votes, but I will always stand up for Strathmore-Brooks. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this

question. I live and breathe
my values and I fully expect
to be held fully accountable
for my words and actions.
This is who I am when I say:
I have consistently employed integrity and honesty
to guide my decision-making. Developing respectful relationships with people while enjoying life in general are all important
to me and to the way I live. I believe in and I have
demonstrated the capacity to give back to my
community and the people who live there.
The focus of government is to provide needed
services to tax payers. As a Counselor and Reeve
with the County of Newell, I fostered an honest
and open environment that encouraged original
thinking and positive solutions, always in the context of advocating for the greater good. I was
inspired to run as the PC Candidate in the up-
coming election because of what I have seen accomplished at the local/municipal level through
effective communication and cooperation. Strathmore-Brooks constituents will receive from me
strong, knowledgeable, friendly, forward-looking
and local representation in the provincial legislature.
If you wanted a snap shot of the words or phrases which best describe me, I am: loyal, a leader,
generous, empathetic, positive, solution oriented.
I listen, I question the status quo and I am respectful of diverse points of view. I take pride in being
a big picture person.
I believe in the leadership of Premier Jim Prentice and his plan for Alberta. I believe I would be
an asset to the Prentice Team and look forward to
using these skills as an MLA to benefit the residents of the Strathmore Brooks Constituency.

My Values. Your Values.

Theres an old joke that
some politicians have principles - and if you dont like
those principles, they have
others. Its got roots in truth:
some politicians will say and
promise anything to keep
their grasp on power.
Our current government is
a case in point. Despite spending $28 million to
call an early election to obtain a mandate for his
10-year plan, Jim Prentice has already changed
his 10-year plan three times in just 10 days. This is
government by polling and image consultants, not
government by values and principles.
My values dont come from consultants and pollsters. Rather, they are the values that I was raised
with, have fought for my whole life, and want to
fight for as your MLA. One of the values that I
grew up with is personal responsibility. Personal
responsibility means accepting the consequences
for your own actions, and fessing up when you
mess up. When I make mistakes and I will I
will take responsibility for them.
After nearly bankrupting this province during a
period record revenues over the last decade, the
Tories have not accepted responsibility for their
mismanagement. Instead, Jim Prentice told Albertans to look in the mirror and blamed them
for it. That is why the PC budget raises taxes by
$2,500 on the average household, but does not
tackle waste and misspending in the government.
Albertans are not the problem. Albertas government is the problem. Albertans are paying enough
taxes. Albertas government is just not treating
those taxes with respect.
Leadership means actually standing up for
something other than just power. As the former

Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, I fought for lower taxes, less waste, and
accountable government. It was a job that I was
very passionate about, and I remain committed to
those same values now.
Too many politicians just want to be elected
without any clear vision for the enjoyment of
having an interesting job. If youve ever watched
Question Period in the legislature, you will see
these kinds of backbench PC MLAs asking puffball questions to PC ministers, written by the
ministers themselves! Theyre representing the
government to the riding, rather than the other
way around. Its the kind of political theater that
makes me feel sad for the state of our democracy.
When we have MLAs who just go with the party
line and are afraid to speak out to their bosses, we
get governments that are unafraid to break their
promises. That is why Strathmore is still without a
proper long-term seniors care facility.
Im an independent thinker, and am not afraid
of going against the party line when it conflicts
with the interests of my constituents, or my values. I will fight for the values that I was raised
with and for the interests of Strathmore-Brooks,
vocally.
I will represent Strathmore-Brooks to the government, and not the government to StrathmoreBrooks.
On May 5th, vote for change.

PAT FULE
Fule for Thought
So once again, I took over 30 kids to the 2015
Calgary Comic Convention. Again, if youve never
been there, its pretty much Nerd Heaven, and Im
one of them!
There are all sorts of costumes from comics to
Manga and Anime, to movies and television. In fact,
I had planned to pay $80 to get a photo op with Stan
Lee. Hes the man who started Marvel comics and
created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Ironman and
many other titles.
Then at 11:30 p.m. the night before, I got a text
from a teacher pal saying it was too bad I wouldnt
meet Stan Lee. In the dark, I frantically searched the
Internet on my cell phone. Debbie asked what are
you doing?
I replied (logically, I thought), Im checking to see
if Stan Lee died today!
She was shocked, only you would go there immediately and think he was dead!
Yeah, but hes 92 who knows how many more
of these hes got in him!
So, I have to wait one more year to meet a hero
of mine hopefully, hes eating right and staying
healthy!
The Comic Con also had Viking battle demonstrations! Picture it: out of shape nerdy guys battling
away with metal swords and wooden shields. Im
not sure if they rehearsed and knew ahead of time,
which Viking was to lose in the war, but if you
were hit, you had to over act and put on a great
death!
Then while the other Vikings flailed away at each
other, you lay there in the grass as a dead warrior. I thought it would be hilarious if, in front of
the crowd, the Vikings quietly snuck away, leaving the dead guy lying there waiting and waiting.
Or, what if after a while, the dead guy actually fell
asleep?!
Anyway, after an amusing display of battle, the last

standing Viking staggered to the middle of the field
and bowed. I think he actually had an inhaler taped
to the inside of his shield as a precaution! Those
Vikings are tough, but hey, you cant be too careful
with asthma!
The costumes are interesting, too. I mean there
were young and old, people of all sizes, dressed
as their favorite heroes and villains. I will say this:
just because your hero looks great in a mini-skirt or
spandex, does not mean you should also wear that.
I mean I love Superman, but Im not squeezing my
middle-aged body into tights to prove that I like him!
My daughter and I almost walked into a guy dressed
perfectly as Beetlejuice. Before I knew it, she and I
said Beetlejuice three times but nothing happened, he was still there! He didnt seem impressed
with us, either!
Brennen was right behind me, and I explained
what we were doing, only to realize I was been talking to a guy dressed as some creepy alien from some
Sci Fi show! That was embarrassing! One funny
costume was simply a guy dressed normally with a
cage over his head! He had a photo of Nicholas Cage
strapped to his head, and he was Nicholas Cage!
That one made me laugh out loud but sometimes
comic nerds dont like that laughter part!
So, after a full seven hours chock full of shopping
in booths of comic books, action figures, clothing,
and even celebrities, we got the kids loaded on the
bus and off to Peters Drive In. We got a lot of stares
with all the various costumed heroes chowing down
on cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes! Then my fellow
nerds sang and shouted all the way home I knew
we shouldnt have given them any sugar!

Christ in order to pray together.

At the heart of the National Prayer Breakfast is a small

group of Parliamentarians from different political parties
who meet for breakfast each Wednesday morning while Parliament is in session. The annual National Prayer Breakfast
is more visible, but the weekly meetings are far more significant. The weekly meetings provide opportunities for deeper
friendships to flourish and grow, across party lines.
The National Prayer Breakfast is attended by Parliamentarians from all parties in the House of Commons. It is a special
time for us, as it brings to our attention the spiritual nature of
our work on behalf of Canadians of all religions. Many of us
feel that spiritual matters and our faith are not best hidden
away inside a building but shared and celebrated in every
aspect of our day-to-day lives. Spiritual implications give special meaning to the countless ceremonies and proceedings of
Canadas Parliament.
In Canada, our Aboriginal people have always been very
up-front when it comes to their spirituality. Our aboriginal
community regularly and routinely has a public and spiritual component to their meetings and ceremonies. Their ancient traditions and ours recognize Something and Someone
greater than ourselves.
The people leading the National Prayer Breakfast ask for
strength and wisdom for the leaders of our country. They appeal to audiences to be steadfast in support and prayer, because there will be both good and bad times to come. They
request protection and guidance.
I pray that our federal government will accomplish many,
many good and wonderful things for Canada. I am grateful
and proud that in our free nation the ceremonies we conduct
can show that it is alright to recognize that there is a spiritual
side to life. It reminds us that none of us are perfect in our
own strength and that by leaning upon our faith, we have
the promise that we can realize our full potential. I trust
and hope that we are not only reminded of that during the
National Prayer Breakfast, but throughout the year as well.

New cell tower a concern

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

Rogers Communications came and
presented in front of Wheatland Council on April 7 about a new cell tower
that is proposed to going up in the area
of Highway 21 and Township 263.
However, this location may prove to
be a safety hazard for the landing and
take off of planes, as there are airport
runways that would be right beside the
tower.
Several concerned residents of the
area came to listen to the presentation
and were clearly frustrated with Rogers plan.
There is a protocol on each tower,
is designed for a city and if your tower
is 100 metres, which this one is, they
only have to contact people three times
that around there, said Calvin Murray,
owner of Early Bird Air Ltd., who flies
planes in the area.
Murray is enthused with the steps
made by the county in this situation.
Theyre going to send a non-concur-
rence letter saying they want that location moved but they have no jurisdiction over Rogers, said Murray.
In fact nobody does, Transport
doesnt and Industry Canada says, okay
you can contact everybody within 300
metres of the tower and theres no complaints, you can go ahead. What were
hoping is the county may have a little
more bite, that in fact by sending this
letter, it may in fact make Rogers have
a second look.
He believes that Rogers did not look
at the area surrounding the tower thoroughly
They didnt do their homework because this runway has been in operation for two years, its registered now.
When they started looking at it, it
wasnt registered but that doesnt matter as private runways are just as important, said Murray.
You could ask any neighbor in this
area within a 15 mile radius and they
would tell you these runways are here
and there. I come out here in the summer time, you would see three to four
spray planes working off this strip,

which is landing and taking off every
20 minutes.
Murray was disappointed with Rogers actions after their presentation.
They didnt address anything we
said, they didnt even talk about anything that we had brought up. They just
got up at the end and said wed like
our letter of concurrence which tells me
that they didnt really care, said Murray.
He would like in the end to see the
tower moved down Highway 564 with
the other ones as a tower is needed.
Wheatland Countys Chief Administrative Officer Alan Parkin confirmed
that they will be sending a letter out to
get the tower relocated.
Council will be sending a letter of
non-concurrence that we dont concur
with the location and further review
on the location to see if there is somewhere more suitable on an existing
tower rather than installing a new one,
said Parkin. There maybe are other
requirements for Rogers to put other
parameters on there so its more easily
identifiable.
Parkin said that reception is a problem out there and requires a tower.
There are gaps in cell coverage in

that area, so there needs to be something done and the county is trying to
move it forward but in the safest manner possible, said Parkin.
At the end of the day if Rogers wants
to install it there and something happens, they have that liability. Im hopeful that Rogers will find a more suitable location that satisfies everybodys
needs.

Muirfield wastewater solution up in the air

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

After three years many Muirfield residences are becoming restless and angered with the fact there is no solution
in sight for their waste water system.
The waste water has been trucked
out of Muirfield and to pay for the
transportation, the residents could potentially be asked to pay an increase in
waste water fees.
The developers believe they have
solved the problem for the short-term
but it is the long-term that many residents want to see.
The developer has continued to
meet with the county. Were still going
to need a long term solution because
what theyve put in place is only short
term.
One of the possible long-term solutions is to work with the Home Stead
Developers but the talks are still on going.
As far as we know, that is still some-
thing on going between the county and

that developer in getting those final
approvals of those pieces. Right now,
as residents, were in a bit of a holding pattern trying to see what its going
to mean in the end financially, knowing its short term, not long-term, said
Kipta.
The last thing I could say, (is that)
pretty much what I hear from most of
the residents out here is if the different parties work together and come up
with a long term viable solution.
Now that the wastewater is being
trucked out of Muirfield, it could cause
a substantial raise in fees.
The original treatment agreement
that was put in place by the Muirfield
developer has ended as of the beginning of April. The current developer is
working on a system where the waste
water is being trucked from our collection point to Strathmore and from what
I understand Rocky View County has
been taken out of the equation completely, said Kipta.
The trucking of wastewater can be

quite expensive, so what they were
looking at as cost recovery with that
kind of basis (was) originally, the numbers that were thrown to residents,
could raise waste water fees up into the
$400 mark. (Before) I believe was $60
flat rate.
Kipta cautiously echoed that this
would not be set in stone until they see
proof of the bills.
The developer does tell us that their
intent is to keep it reasonable but until
we see anything, we dont know what
the final costs to the residence will be,
said Kipta.
She has praised everyone involved
for not quitting and being as patient
they can be.
Everybody is working, everybody is
pushing. I dont see this thing having
immediate solutions for any of these
piece, theres frustrations because of it
taking a really long time, said Kipta.
The developer could not be reached
to comment on the issues in Muirfield.

REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS
Jerry & Jean Bizot

JOHN GODSMAN
Times Contributor
Jerrys family originates from Holland, where his father
was a baker. Gerardus Johannes Bizot ( Jerry) was born in
1942, the youngest of three siblings. His mother suffered
really badly from asthma, and was recommended to move
to the Canadian Prairies, where the climate would improve
her health.
In 1956, they sailed from Belgium to Halifax, N.S. via
Southampton and Le Havre in France, then crossed Canada
by train to Moose Jaw, Sask. where Jerrys father had a position as a baker awaiting him. Later that year, they moved to
Calgary, before opening a new bakery in Strathmore in the
early 60s. Five years later, they sold this store and moved to
Mayerthorpe.
Within two years, they were contacted by Strathmore
town council and asked to return to town, and reopen their
bakery, here. They accepted this challenge, reopening the
Strathmore bakery, which they operated for a number of
years before moving to a new bakery in High River, where
they lived and retired, before passing away.
In the mid-60s Jerry, who really wasnt a baker at heart,
started a 15-year career with Alberta Arches and Beams.
Jeans fathers family originates from Scotland, and moved
to Washington State in the late 1800s, where they operated
a logging company. Following a logging accident, which
killed her grandfather, her grandmother moved the family
to Lethbridge, where she became a coal miner. Her father,
Earl Lowry, was born in Washington in 1900, and served
with the Canadian Army in WW1. Jean was born in Calgary
in 1947, the eldest of three girls, and lived with her family at
Cheadle. Jean attended the original Samuel Crowther School
from Grade 1 thru Grade 12, then worked at Jerrys parents
bakery, here in town. She remembers taking music lessons
over the radio, from Mary Mercer, who was broadcasting
from an Edmonton Radio Station! Jeans grandparents on
her mothers side were in Halifax on Dec. 6, 1917 at the time
of the explosion, caused by two ships colliding in the harbour. This tragedy was instrumental in making them move
west.
Jean and Jerry were married in Strathmore in 1967, and
have lived here ever since. They have three children and
two grandchildren. Following Jerrys employment with Alberta Arches and Beams, he became the projectionist for five
years at Joyland Theatre, before changing his mind about
being a baker. He joined Strathmore and Calgary Co-op as
their baker a position he held and enjoyed for the next 14
years. During this time, Jean worked in the Co-op Cafeteria,
which was located where the grocery tills now stand. These
were the days when Joe Griffith was the Co-op manager.
Both have served our community in many different ways,
for almost 50 years.
Jerry was a Volunteer Fireman for 40 years, an advisor
with Scouts Canada for 25 years, plays our town Santa
Claus every Christmas, is a recipient of UFAs Small Town
Hero award, and now delivers The Strathmore Times.
In 1954, Jean was a Polio Pioneer in the first countrywide tests of the new polio vaccine. She initiated the first
Beaver Colony here, and for the past 30 years has arranged
exchanges between Japanese and Calgary Region students;
she has worked in the Strathmore Young Offenders library,
and with the Ag Society.
Changes theyve seen include where there was only one
school, now there are eleven, classes and grades have been
reorganized, dirt roads and boardwalks have been replaced
by pavement, all the new stores along the highway, and the
population growth.

Whats Happening
are the only party that can sort

out affairs, and I think they are
the only one that has the leadership available to make the decisions that need to happen to
get our spending under control
in the province of Alberta, and
to decide what services our residents want, and want to pay for
and get back to saving money,
said Douglass.
She believes that all levels of
government need to be working
for the ratepayers.
I believe in public service,
I dont think we need to get
paid for everything we do, and
I certainly believe in the greater
good principal when it comes
to decision making, and I think
those are philosophies to be
carried through all levels of
government, said Douglass.
Fildebrandt said there have
been enough empty promises
coming from the PC government in the areas of schools and
health care.
Regardless if I am on the
government benches, or the
opposition benches, I will not
be on the back benches and I
will not be quiet when fighting
for the interests of StrathmoreBrooks, I will not fear a party
whip coming down on me if
our community doesnt receive
funding that it was promised for
projects, said Fildebrandt.
What matters is that an MLA
be willing to stand up to be
heard, forcefully if necessary.

Brooks PC Candidate Molly Douglass to talk about the upcoming election and the
PC standpoint.
a quick visit with PC supporters. Approximately 25 people

showed up for the event.
We need to have an election
because I dont have a mandate
to bring in the kind of budget
that was just brought in. When I
ran to be the leader of our party
oil prices were a $110 a barrel,
theyre now at $55 or so this
week, said Prentice about why
he called an election now.
Were now staring down a
$7 billion deficit, when I was
running to be leader it looked
like we were going to have a $3
billion or $4 billion surplus, so
things have changed a lot overnight and these are pretty traumatic times for the province.
Prentice stands by the PC
budget plan, stating that they
brought forward a realistic plan,

they have worked hard on it
and have been honest with Albertans about the choices now
being faced.
When asked by Strathmore
Councillor Steve Grajczyk about
the empty wing at the hospital,
Prentice deflected by saying the
Minster of Health is responsible for that, but did say that
communities need to starting
getting better use of the facilities currently in place, and that
more money than ever is being
put into healthcare annually.
The election is May 5, with

On April 9 Gregory Harriman and Associates presented the Hussar Community Hall Maintenance
Society with a cheque for $4,000, to help with the costs to renovate the community hall. John
Gauvin (l-r), Shelley Harriman, Pete Sanden and Erin Gregory.
Hussar hall funding

almost complete
SHANNON LECLAIR
Times Reporter

Thanks to the support of various donors and sponsors the fairly recent renovations of the Hussar Community Hall
are basically paid off.
The Hussar Community Hall Maintenance Society has fundraised $1.2 million for the renovations, which were
done in three phases. The first was the
storage area, second was a new front
entry and the third was the interior.
On April 9 Gregory Harriman and
Associates presented Pete Sanden, a
member of the society, with a cheque
for $4,000.
Its pretty much finished, except for
a few small details, and actually believe
it or not its almost paid for. So dona-
tions like Gregory Harriman of course

really help us go over the top, said
Sanden.
He continued on to say that Gregory
Harriman has been a long-time supporter of various fundraising efforts
and projects within the community of
Hussar.
We do it for the communities that
support us, said John Gauvin, with
Gregory Harriman.
Now that renovations of the hall are
complete, and the project essentially
paid for, the society will begin looking
at other areas of the community that
can use help. Sanden said each year the
different community groups gather to
discuss which projects need to be done,
and then each focuses on the same
project.
County approves
community grant funding
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

Wheatland County Council approved
the Community Enhancement Grant
Funding after a recent assessment of
ongoing projects was done for the area.
The funding, including levy totals, is
$422,919.78.
So what ends up happening typically now that its approved, the cheques
will be put together and they will be
dispersed to the groups. Its an upfront,
so the groups can get going on their
projects, said Alan Parkin, Wheatland
Countys Chief Administrative Officer.
The funds come from the mill rate set
up by the county a number of years ago,
and the Community Enhancement funding is supported by the money collected
from that. This initiative has been ongoing for three years, helping local groups
and organizations fund various projects.
The county set up a mill rate of .1
mill three years ago. Those funds get
dispersed throughout the county to rec-
reation and associated activities, said

Parkin.
This year the dollars available to the
initiative has increased/
It went up about $11,000 because of
a new assessment. I think it was stated
that it was oversubscribed with $1.2
million worth of applications, certainly
something that the group is going to
come back and make some suggestions
in June or July for what they feel the
county should do, said Parkin.
When its oversubscribed by three
times the amount of funding available
then you know its a successful program.
Some of the projects that received
funding are: kitchen cupboards and
counters for the Cairnhill Community
Association at a cost of $7,744.13; Cheadle rink upgrades at a costs of $10,000;
5 For Life and their Growing East Communities at a cost of $3,000; and playground landscaping for the Lakes of
Muirfield Recreational Society at a cost
of $5,594.45.

breaks ground
JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter

The Lions outdoor rink officially
broke ground on April 16 and is on
schedule to be open in time for the
Strathmore 2015 Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games.
After a lot of hard work and fantastic community support, the Lions
Regional Outdoor Rink Committee is
pleased to announce that construction
will begin, said Lisa Sader, rink committee member.
The rinks location is just inside the
main gates at the Ag society grounds,
north of the Strathmore High School
football field, and is designed to be a
multiuse rink.
The plan is to get the site prepared
the next few days, and then were finalizing our quotes for concrete, said
Dawn Shave, chairperson of the outdoor rink committee.
Were hoping to have it poured by

middle to late June so it has time to be
ready for the 55 plus Games. Our only
concern is the weather.
Some of the donations granted to the
rink are in-kind donations. Shave said
once the concrete pad is complete in
June the committee will take a bit of
a break in the construction in order to
make sure the rink remains aesthetically pleasing and doesnt have the big
construction equipment all over the
site.
Our boards will come in late August,
early September and the project will
be complete at that time, said Shave.
She has been very impressed with
the outpouring of community support.
Im so impressed with the generous donors, our committee members,
people volunteering their time and services to be a part of this project, its
just really exciting, said Shave.

With the constantly rising food
prices, buying groceries is becoming
harder for more and more families.
We may be seeing savings at the gas
pumps, but the extra money in our
pockets, and then some, is instead
being spent on buying the basics at
our local supermarkets.
A recent partnership between
COBS Bread and the Harvest Healing
Centre is hoping to ease some of that
burden by offering free, fresh bread
to anyone interested, while eliminating the amount of bread tossed away
at the end of the day.
Thanks to the proposal, each and
every weekend the Centre will be
able to hand out dozens of loaves of
bread to those in need in the area.
We had an opportunity that was
presented to us by COBS, and the
conditions from COBS was that we
be charitable and we give it away,
and we have to consistently show
up and take their bread that theyve
made that day, rather than throw it
out, said Pastor Elizabeth Karp.
Members of the Centre knew this
would be an amazing opportunity to
help the community and jumped on
board.
Bread can be very, expensive and
some of this bread is $7 or $8 a loaf,
its full of grains, its beautiful bread,

said Audrey Senft who works in the
kitchen at the Centre.
There are also pastries, scones, and
other goodies donated to the church.
If there is enough community interest and support, COBS has told the
Centre that they can come and pick
up more bread for an additional
night. Karp said they hope the interest does grow because it helps eliminate the amount being thrown out by
the bakery, while giving back to the
community.
Theres no limit to the amount of
bread you can take, if you want to
take like a garbage bag full, then you
do that, said Senft.
We want people to know that
were not just a church, you dont
have to go to our church to come in,
if we can do something to help then
were going to want to do that.
A lot of people are taking in large
bags and giving it to their neighbours
too, said Don Howe, a member of
the church.
The bread is available for pick up
every weekend from to 5 p.m. on Saturdays or on Sundays from 9 a.m. to
12 p.m.
Anyone and everyone is welcome
to pick up bread - all you have to do
is show up. If theres enough interest
from the community then a second
night may be added.

Bisons announce
new sponsor
The UFA Bisons used a quick turnaround from an opening game loss to beat the host Albatros du College Notre-Dame 7-1
in Game 2 of the Telus Cup on April 21 in Riviere du Loup, Que.

TELUS CUP GAME 1 (APRIL 20): UFA BISONS
VS. GRANDIERS DE CHATEAUGUAY
The UFA Bisons led 3-1 after two periods over
the Quebec representatives in the Grandiers
de Chateauguay, but could not hang on in the
opening game of the Telus Cup on April 20 in
Riviere-du-Loup, Que.
The Herd found themselves in unfamiliar territory, being shorthanded for most of the third,
and watched the Grandiers score four answered
markers to win 5-4.
Assistant coach Dave Atwood was thrilled
with the start the team had, but the result was a
much different feeling.
We got the start we wanted and probably
where it started to turn on us is that we started
to get out of sync because we were taking a few
penalties. When that happens, things get a little
bit out of place because you have your penalty
killers out there and theyre playing a little extra, guys are not getting out there when they
should be, said Atwood. For the first game in
the tournament, we havent had a result like that
in quite some time, it was different for us. The
other team took advantage of that and scored
four unanswered goals.
Frustration appeared to be evident amongst
the players and that was a factor in not playing
their games.
We got a little frustrated with ourselves because its out of character for us and took a moment to shake that out of our system, said Atwood.
Atwood tipped his hat to the Grandiers for
capitalizing on their chances.
You have to give that team credit because
they are a good team. I dont want to take anything away from them, said Atwood.
Will Conley and Shane Fraser scored power
play goals in the first while Zachary Cox added
one in the middle frame.
TELUS CUP GAME 2 (APRIL 21): UFA BISONS
VS. ALBATROS DU COLLEGE NOTRE-DAME
A quick turnaround for the UFA Bisons may
have been all the team needed to forget about

the tournament opener.
The club gave up a shorthanded goal to the
host club in the first, but quite handily controlled the game en route to a 7-1 victory.
Head coach Dan MacDonald admits in a short
tournament, it was pivotal to win the second
one.
They get to be (important) fast because you
dont know how things are going to shake out,
said MacDonald. You just have to be ready to
win some games off the bat and yesterday was
such a tough game because of all the turmoil we
went through,
MacDonald felt that even though both teams
were tied after one, that his club was able to find
a groove in the second and play with it.
Once we get on a role, were really good,
and thats what happened we got two quick
goals. Everybody believed in themselves and
thats the big thing with this age level, you can
really change the game fast, said MacDonald.
You need a bond if youre going to succeed,
the guys really like each other and work hard
together, you know theyre going to rally behind
each other when things are tough.
Forward Gary Haden admits there was no better feeling than getting the win to avoid having
an elimination feeling in the early stages of the
tournament.
It was really important, we thought going in
it was a must win, said Haden. After giving up
the 3-1 lead going into the third (in Game 1), it
was really good to come back and get this one
so we dont have our backs against the wall.
He felt after they got the first one, the momentum just continued the rest of the game.
We said stick to the plan, the first 10 minutes
we didnt play our game, and we were watching them and theyre a real quick team, said
Haden. Then once we got going near the end
of the period we got one goal and we got all the
momentum and ended up potting four in four
minutes (in the second period).
Kyle Gordon led the way with two while
Haden, Will Conley, Markus Lavallee, Trygve
Many Guns and Davis Sheldon rounded out the
offense.

The UFA Bisons are proud to announce that CFR Chemicals will be their new sponsor starting next season.
Bisons General Manager Wayne Hansen says that what the
company had to offer was a no-brainer decision from the
start of negotiations, which began shortly after the Macs
Midget Tournament in December.
The huge thing for us is both their company and our
organization are very similar in their thought process. They
like to develop their employees and internally were (doing)
the same thing, said Hansen. It was really important when
we started our search that we found a partner. We firmly believe we found a solid partner thats going help us increase
our presence in the community of our brand.
With CFR being a province wide company, it will provide
some exposure wherever the team is.
Were very excited to have CFR on board because they
bring some fresh ideas to the table and theyre going to challenge us to think outside the box, said Hansen.
We underwent this huge change three years ago when
we became a billet program. One of the things that CFR
Chemicals is going allow us to do is theyre going to want
us to expand on that.
CFR Chemicals Operations Manager Jeff Gellately is honoured to have their company involved with the Bisons organization.
Were trying to get our brand out in the mainstream so its
a little more recognizable and when I had heard the Bison
organization was parting ways with UFA, I took it to our
senior managers and we had a discussion, said Gellately.
We contacted the Bisons and we made a pitch that they
appreciated.
What was most appealing to Gellately was the type of program that the Bisons are running.
I think for me personally, its the program that theyve put
together. Our target market is to build our brand and image
in Calgary and although Strathmore and the Bisons are out
of town a bit, they play frequently in Calgary, said Gellately.
Theyre a first class organization and I was familiar with
them. The program theyve put together, the way they build
these young adults into more than just hockey players.
For CFR Chemicals, this is a new identity for them but is a
really exciting opportunity that is presented to them.
In the past CFR has supported hockey teams buy hosting golf tournaments, purchasing jackets, or helping with
signage. This is the first time they have decided to sponsor
a team.
This is a big step for the company to make. The organization for one made it any easy decision and two I think the
mileage and exposure in the game, its all positive for our
organization, said Gellately.
He added that the logo would not have significant changes.
We dont want to change a whole lot of the image of the
Bisons because there is history and personally Im a traditionalist at heart as well.

JUSTIN SEWARD
Times Reporter
Strathmore Lacrosse has had more

players register this season than ever to
the point where they have had to expand their teams to begin the season on
April 27.
President Chris Iversen is glad to see
the increased numbers in the sport.
Were probably up another 30 players from last year again. Weve had
some really good growth again with the
younger ages, novice (and) peewee,
said Iversen.
This year is the first time ever weve
had three peewee teams. We were pretty happy with two the last couple.
The amount of girls playing in the
sport has been great to see but the
Iversen knows that there will be a lot of
basics to be taught.
Its growing a little bit, its always a
little bit slower. This year I have probably about three or four who have never played on the midget girls team, we
have seven or eight players that never
played before on the bantam girls, said

Iversen.
Its back to basics, its nice that theyre
a little bit older, in terms of physical development and stuff like that, they can
pick up things pretty quick.
Iversen will be keeping close tabs on
the progression of the peewee teams
this season.
I think our teams are going to be
pretty good at that level because there is
quite a few experienced players as well
as there are some new players in there.
Itll be nice to get those experienced
players together to make those teams a
little more competitive, said Iversen.
He credits most of the teams success
to detailed development over the years.
The development of our players has
been consistent over the years where
were getting to the point that we have
some good competitive teams. Having
more players at each level has allowed
us to tier the teams, said Iversen.
The Strathmore Lacrosse has grown
over 50 per cent in the last 4 years and
is still continuing to.

The 2015 Alberta Cups Team South

will have five players from the Wheatland area on their roster.
Tyler Strath, Cole Clayton, Lucas
Muenchrath, Joel Krahenbil and Langdons Brady Skiffington are familiar
with each other having played together
on the Rocky Mountain bantam triple A
Raiders team.
The tournament will be a chance for
the players to get noticed by scouts in
preparation for the WHL bantam draft
that will happen on May 7.
Muenchrath knows he just has to play
to his strengths every game.
If I want to be drafted, I have to play
my best hockey down there because its
the best guys in Alberta playing, said
Muenchrath.
He felt that he played well enough
against the top players in camp and really embraced the challenge.
Theyre really good and they stood
out because there is some kids coming
from minor hockey, they stuck out a
lot, said Muenchrath.

We hadnt been to Westerns before
that, but when we won the league,
that brought everyones momentum up

there, said Muenchrath.
He admits that he will have to play all
areas of the game to be successful.
You have to bring it all, play a two

play your best, said Muenchrath.
He added also that it will help having
Krahenbil on his line to provide that instant chemistry.
Krahnebil likes how he will have a lot
of his Raiders teammates on the team.
Its pretty cool because we know everybody and that just helps us become
a better team way quicker in a tournament like this, said Krahenbil.
He felt he had a solid showing at the
camp.
I felt I did pretty good. I played with
a couple guys from my team on my tryout team and we played pretty well together and having them made me more
comfortable on the ice, said Krahenbil.

The Bentley Generals left it all on

the ice in the Allan Cup final but were
defeated 2-0 by the South East Prairie
Thunder of Manitoba on April 18 in
Clarenville, NFLD.
The team went undefeated through
the round robin but ran into some hot
goaltending in the final.
We played a strong game as well as
they did. Their goaltender played really well as well as ours. (The Thunder) stuck to a game plan and (we) just
couldnt penetrate through the middle
or get our scoring opportunities, said
forward Keenan Desmet.
The teams at the tournament were
the best six teams in Canada. They all
played hard and proved to be stiff competition.

The competition was never any

worse, its always hard to play any team
in the round robin or the finals but
this year I think we had a pretty strong
team, said Desmet.
I thought we had the chance to win
it but sometimes obviously things dont
work out the way you want it to.
He says that none of the teams were
giving the Generals any room on the
ice.
I think most of the team there were
gunning for us as weve been playing
together all year and we were the highly ranked team in the tournament. They
played us tight, (and) knew what we
had with big bodies and physicality,
said Desmet
Desmet, along with many of the other
Generals, will rest up during the offseason and determine his hockey future
later in the summer.

in the Baseball Alberta League and two
play in the Rocky View league and bantam that will have one in each.
The midget triple A Reds will be playing more home games this year at Kinsmen Park as they are joining the NorWest league.
Theyre our top team in town this
year in the NorWest league and their
big trip this year is going to Tennessee
to play for eight days, said Kennett.
He believes that there is a lot of potential on this team, and that its a team
that will be exciting to watch.
Theyve got some very capable baseball players on that team and its exciting to have some more home games.
Part of the issue with the tournaments,
it that we were always gone and so we
wanted to try to get some home games
and showcase the kids a little more,
said Kennett.
Coaches are always needed and Kennett admits there are always spots to
fill.
We always need more volunteers,
what we do is go through the list to
see if we got coaches and we contact them, if we dont, we go and ask
people to see if theyll coach, said
Kennett.
Strathmore Minor Baseball held
their AGM on April 13, and there
were a few topics that were discussed
which will be addressed during the
course of the season and ones that
may take awhile.
The one major issue was the lack of
facilities in town for baseball.
We have a lot of teams in town
and not enough baseball diamonds.
I think thats probably the biggest issue, Strathmore is not getting smaller,
its only getting bigger, said Kennett.
As an example, Kinsmen Park is the
only place in town that bantams and
midgets can play and we have three
teams playing on that diamond for
the year which is very difficult.
Kennett added they have had a subcommittee approach the town about
an indoor facility but no progress has
been made yet.
The season will officially begin on
May 1.

ATTENTION
WATER USERS
As the water season has arrived, we require all

of the stakeholders to provide a minimum of
48 hours notice prior to your planned irrigation
start up, and 24 hours notice before shutting
the water off. In addition, it is also important
to inform us when you are shut down due to
maintenance requirements or for any other
unplanned reasons.
This enables us to efficiently add or remove
water from our canals which allows us to
provide the users with the best possible service
while managing the water more efficiently.
Please call to order your water on and off.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
