Strathmore resident and business

Fun Runners owner Hal Lust has been speaking
host annual to both county and town council on
Show and Shine behalf of residents about Highway
1. The proposed realignment and
bypass is a hot button topic and
county council saw their chambers
Page 3 fill with concerned residents, just as
the town offices filled two weeks
ago.
Unlike Airdrie or Brooks, Strath-
more does not have an industrial
economy to be able to thrive off of,
said Lust.
“For years I’ve heard about the
value of good farmland and that we
should not destroy it. It seems they
are not taking their own advice,”
Siksika success said Lust. Many farms in the county
at Calgary Stampede will be affected by the realignment,
rendering some parcels of land use-
less.
“The new alignment isn’t final-
ized, its still in the planning stag-
Page 17 es, its about planning for future
growth. I’m guessing the alignment
is still 50 years out, maybe even a
hundred,” said Minister of Transpor-
tation, Luke Ouellette in a phone
interview.
“I hadn’t realized until just re-
cently people were upset. I don’t
know exactly what my department

Show and shine

draws people
from all over
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The sun shone brightly for the 17th
annual Fun Runners Club Show and
Shine held at Kinsmen Park July 17. Ap-
proximately 180 cars, trucks and bikes
filled the park, as spectators walked
around taking in the sights.
A face painter was stationed in a golf
cart, recreated to look like a classic cad-
dy, and some kids took part in a race
on a Hot Wheels track.
“We had some really good comments.
The dyno was a real crowd gatherer,
much more so than the burnout con-
tests we used to have at the Canadian
Tire parking lot. There was a lot going
on and people were quite happy with
that,” said Todd Blakney, a member of
the Strathmore Fun Runners club. A
dyno is a chassis dynamometer, which
basically measures the power of a ve-
hicle.
There were 26 trophies awarded and
almost 40 door prizes given away.
“The community was quite support-
ive with that,” said Blakney. The two

The family cottage

Preparing for winter

Rosebud
The Fire Department in Rosebud
has a new fire hall and now it is up to
council to decide what to do with the
original building. Council can either
sell the building, with all of the profits
going towards the new fire hall. Or it
can be kept and maintained as a his-
torical site. Councillor Glenn Koester
is going to talk to residents of Rose-
bud before any decisions are made.
Public Works
Public works superintendent Gerry
Van Ooostwaard made a request to
council to buy new scrapers and road
graders before winter hits. The plan
is to buy early and save from buying
2011 models. Ooostwaard also sug-
gested council contract out the big
jobs and only take care of the smaller
ones, something he thinks will save
taxpayers money. The motion was car-
ried to buy two new scrapers and four
new graders.

Q: What happens if I don’t have a will?
A: When a person dies without a will, it is referred
to as intestate. The family is often uncertain as
to who is in control of the estate and the funeral
arrangements. If the deceased has a surviving
spouse, that person becomes the legal next-of-
kin. Without a spouse, the chain continues to
the oldest adult child, then the parents, then
oldest adult grandchild, and further down the
line to nieces and nephews. If the proper next
of kin should decline their duties, it is passed
on to the next person in line. The next of kin
then needs to file a request with the courts to be
named the administrator before they are granted
access to the estate. However, when there is
no legal will, the administrator of the estate is
obligated to follow legislation regarding the
and your finances
Many families have an emotional attachment to
the cottage. It is a place rich with memories of family
gatherings and happy times. However, the prices of
vacation properties have risen dramatically over
the past several years, and without proper tax and
estate planning, these memories can be tarnished.
Your cottage’s increase in value can result
in a substantial tax liability when you transfer
ownership, either while you are alive or through
your will. Two of the most common strategies to
reduce or defer the tax liability are the use of life
insurance or the transfer of the property to a trust.
The proceeds from a life insurance policy can be
used to pay the income taxes on the cottage. In
some cases, your children may be wiling to pay the
premiums on the policy to keep the cottage in the
family.
Problems may arise if you leave the cottage to
your children as joint owners. You can eliminate
some of these issues by transferring the cottage
to a trust. While the transfer triggers an immediate

Local connection to
new hit ABC series
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Rookie Blue has been on
the air for three weeks and
already the show has been
dubbed the #1 scripted show
on ABC in six years for the
summer slot. It’s also taken
first place for the year on any
network on any scripted show.
The instant hit is 100 per
cent Canadian, from its actors
to the directors and produc-
ers. One of the Rookies, Chad
Diaz, known to his friends as
Travis Milne, has ties to Strath-
more. His grandfather Hans
Flatla was a veterinarian in
town for 11 years and was well
known in the vet industry, and
his mother Patricia O’Conner
used to live in Strathmore at
one time.
“My mom was really influ-
ential in my acting career. She
was the first to laugh at my
jokes and really gave me the
encouragement I needed to
go for it. When I told her I was
going to theatre school she
was excited for it,” said Milne.
Milne recalls being 17 and
his drama teacher Joan Me-
tchooyeah telling him he
should apply to drama school,
which he shrugged off.
“I was like oh yeah, ok
whatever, I was going to go
to the University of Alberta
to become a sports therapist
because I was a really big
jock, every sport I could do, I
played,” said Milne.
He went to Senior Bowl,
which is like Alberta try outs
for the best Alberta football
players, and on the same
weekend he auditioned for
theatre school in Red Deer at
Red Deer College, RDC.
“I went there for two years,
I took the theatre diploma
course and after that I did an-
other two years of film train-
ing and got my Applied De-
gree of Film Acting as well at
RDC,” said Milne. After being
in the industry for a few years,
things started to get tough and
Milne started to rethink his
career path, especially if he
wanted to eat.
“I had worked for two years
in Vancouver and toughed it
out and said I had to do some-
thing to make money. I was
planning to go back to school
to get a power engineering
certificate and then I audi-
tioned, it was the last audition
I was ever going to do before
going back to trade school.”
He had never wanted to
fall into the stereotype of the
aspiring actor working as a
waiter or bartender, and so
he would find labour jobs like
landscaping and carpentry.
“There’s something in work-
ing with your hands that is
unlike anything else, there’s
nothing better then being able
to step away and look at what
you’ve accomplished,” said
Milne.
He treats his acting like a
tradesman would treat his
work. “I take it very seriously
and I think that entertainment
is a vital part of our society
and what we need to keep us
going. People love to laugh
and need to be swept away in
a story.”
The producers of Rookie
Blue had seen Milne’s work
in the Canadian independent
Travis Milne was about to give up acting for good when his luck changed.
Producers of new hit T.V show Rookie Blue had seen him in Leslie, My Name
Is Evil and wanted him. He now plays the role of rookie Chris Diaz.
film Leslie, My Name Is Evil,
and they liked him so much
they sought him out. After the
audition it took nearly three
weeks of waiting before Milne
found out he had been given
the part of Chad Diaz.
“The weeks of waiting were
excruciating but once I found
out it was like the greatest
feeling I’ve ever felt. It was
like winning the lottery plus
a huge weight off my shoul-
ders,” said Milne. While film-
ing, Milne lives in Toronto, but
during the off time, he splits
his time between Vancouver
and Los Angeles. He signed
a six-year contract with ABC
and if all goes well he said he
might move to Toronto.
“If I could make a T-shirt
of Chris Diaz it would be Mr.
Manual. He’s like, Mr. by the
book,” said Milne. “Everyone
on the show is phenomenal,
so kind, so sweet. I couldn’t
Photo courtesy of Travis Milne
say who is my favourite char-
acter on the show is.” His
favourite episode is coming
up in about six episodes and
though he couldn’t say what
will be happening, he did say
it has Parkour, which originat-
ed in France, in it. Parkour is
when people jump, vault and
climb over buildings and such,
without the aide of harnesses
or bungees.
“I can’t tell you anything
else, but it has that in it and
it was so much fun be on set
and to watch that guy do his
thing and that will be coming
in about six episodes,” said
Milne.
He is currently on his way
back to Toronto from Van-
couver, and is stopping to see
family along the way. The call
came in July 12 that ABC and
Global have decided to start
filming a second season after
only three weeks on the air.

EnCana presented a cheque for
$20,000 in a show of support to the re-
cently renovated Standard Arena July
15. Last summer the Agricultural Society
began repairs on the arena, which cost
approximately $200,000. The money for
the arena was used for renovations due
to water damage in a building attached
to the arena. The Agricultural Society
had to relocate the player boxes to the
other side of the building and had to re-
place arena boards.
“Part of EnCana’s overall business

relations advisor for EnCana.
The refurbished arena has been well
used and appreciated since it reopened
in October. Like any town, village or
hamlet, an arena is a place for bigger
social gatherings and community events,
and being in good condition is a priority.
“EnCana has been nice and donated
$20,000 for the project that we did, ev-
erything counts,” said Perry Ellis from
Standard.

Council supports residents
Continued from page 1
County council let residents know
they have been on top of the issue since
they first learned about it. The proposed
realignment will see the highway mov-
ing four miles south of Strathmore, pos-
sibly negetively affecting the economy.
Further east the realignment will cut
through farmland, fracturing it.
“We have a corridor and people are
used to it and if they have to expand
it, why not do it there,” said Reeve Ben
Armstrong. “Or if they have to, they
could go over top.”
“Yeah we could divide the town in
half, make it free flow through town
with a couple overpasses over it. Then
there would be two service roads, with
an overpass at each end, and then no-
body would have to come in to town
anyway,” said Ouellette.
Debbie Shelley, Chief Executive Offi-
cer for the Global Training Centre, GTC,
just found out about the proposal a few
days ago. She was upset no one had in-
formed her company and was looking
to council for answers.
“This current proposal runs through
catered by gold standard events

ness off the map,” said Shelley. The

Councillor Ken Sauve. Lust hopes to be

and said he will be sending out 500 ev-
ery two weeks until the entire county
and town has received them.
“I think bypasses always raised con-
cerns, but most of the places after the
bypass is built, have said sometimes
it even does better for the businesses.
Also on any of our bypasses we plan
way, way ahead, so we’re still prob-
ably a good 20 years out on the bypass
there,” said Ouellette. “We’re not here to
try to disrupt anybody, we’re here to try
to make life better for everyone.”

Letters to the editor

Beautifying the canal

To the Editor
In regards to the recent flowers on the canal bank
debate, all I can say is…. You have got to be kidding
me?? For anyone to disregard 10 years of volunteer-
ism is beyond my comprehension. Ten years of hard
work and dedication on Nancy and Terry’s part to
have the “powers that be” to tell them to uproot all
plant life and destroy any remaining effects, of said
hard work is idiotic. So what if it is on W.I.D. land, so
what! Why can’t it be beautiful? Shame on whatever
committee decided on this ridiculous outcome of 10
years of hard work. Funny thing though, Nancy &
Terry… if you were caught defacing this said piece of
land instead of beautifying it, your punishment prob-
ably would have been community service, weeding
and making this piece of land beautiful, go figure.
You have my personal thanks for 10 years of volun-
teer work. May the W.I. D. Committees weeds, grow
tall and beautiful.

Standing Up For Farmers

Kevin Sorenson,
M.P., Crowfoot
Parliamentary Report
Last week at the conclusion of
the annual meeting of Agriculture
Ministers, federal Agriculture Min-
ister Gerry Ritz and Ministers from
Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alber-
ta together announced vital help
for hard-hit Prairie farmers and
producers affected by recent flood-
ing. Affected producers will share
$450 million in extra payments un-
der the federal Agri-Recovery pro-
gram. The assistance package will
amount to $30 per acre and will be
cost-shared by the Prairie Provinc-
es and Ottawa.
Heavy rains have drenched parts
of the Prairies over the past month,
ruining crops and making fields
too wet to seed. Minister Ritz says
it’s the fastest relief package under
the Agri-Recovery program ever
made. Alberta is set to receive $60
million through the $450-million
program. This assistance will help
farmers take immediate measures
to protect, rehabilitate and man-
age affected cropland. Building
on existing Agri programs, which
is the first line of defense for Ca-
nadian farmers, this additional ac-
with the realities today, while still
planning for a successful planting
season next year.
The ability of our Conservative
government to react so swiftly to
the flooding crisis is all about poli-
tics, in my mind. While in Opposi-
tion, I joined my colleagues in the
House of Commons calling on the
Liberal government to separate di-
saster relief from the income stabi-
lization programs being offered to
farmers by the federal government.
The Liberals never listened. Many
of you will remember the pictures
of former Prime Minister Jean Chre-
tien visiting flooded areas in Mani-
toba and personally filling sand-
bags. This photo-op played big on
television media and tried to dupe
city folk into thinking Chretien was
helping farmers.
In 2005-2006, we campaigned on
a political platform to re-invent the
suite of programs Agriculture Can-
ada has for farmers. We did that im-
mediately following our election to
govern, with input from agriculture
stakeholders. These programs were
up and running shortly thereafter
and were available to farmers dur-
ing the current flood crisis.
Most recently in China, building
on his continued interventions at
bling Canada’s wheat sales to China
over recent years - 500,000 metric
tonnes by the end of 2011- worth
$130 million.
A few days before the wheat
sales announcement, Minister Ritz
declared that the trade barriers are
coming down for Canadian beef
in China. The breakthrough agree-
ment between Canada and China
allowing market access for Cana-
dian beef in a staged process will
soon see consumers across China
- the world’s number one consum-
er of agriculture products with a
growing population of 1.3 billion
- enjoying safe, high quality Cana-
dian beef.
During the past few years, Prime
Minister Harper has dispatched our
Conservative government’s Agri-
culture Minister to travel the world
selling Canada’s agriculture prod-
ucts and securing trade deals. Min-
ister Ritz is making sales in Mexico,
Cuba, Russia, Japan, Hong Kong,
China, South Korea, India, Moroc-
co, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Peru,
Colombia and the European Union.

cerns regarding this or previous

Mothers Day may have passed but two little boys want to do something nice for their moms. Friends Brenden, 12, and
Jared, 8, decided to set up a lemonade stand outside their homes on Maplewood Drive.
“We were bored so we decided to be nice to our moms,” said the two boys. They are selling the lemonade for .25 cents
a glass, and they plan to be out often throughout the summer.
Tradition lives in Langdon
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Celebrations took place in
Langdon over this past week-
end as they celebrated their
annual Langdon Days. It start-
ed after World War II, and it be-
gan with a ball game. Langdon
Days have spread to include
fun for the whole family, with
three days of activities. Every-
thing from a pancake breakfast
to dances on Friday and Satur-
day took place.
This year the Langdon
School Playground Committee
provided the breakfast while
raising money for the new
playground.
Festivities went from Fri-
day until Sunday. The turnout
grows every year as new resi-
dents move into the hamlet.

community wanting to be a
part of the celebrations.
“Everyone has water guns,”
said Cheryl Wislon, president
of the Langdon Community
Association. “People love it,
they are soaked by the end.” In
previous years there has been
a Lego display unfortunately,
due to recently opening a new
location in Chinook, the Lego
display was missing but will be
back next year.
Rain and even a bit of hail
which blew through the hamlet
didn’t stop people from having
fun and still playing ball.
Langdon Days takes place
the third week of July every
year, and despite the Calgary
Stampede being on at the same
time this year, the turnout was
great.

The healing power of music

Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
One man has such a strong belief in music creating mira-
cles that he has been doing a bike tour to raise awareness to
his cause. His name is Charles Lage, he currently lives in Win-
nipeg and at 53 he has been a piano technician for 34 years.
Lage is an autism survivor and is cycling across Canada to
raise money for his charity, A Joyful Noise School of Music.
“I have found personally and scientifically that music cre-
ates miracles in the lives of the challenged,” said Lage. “Over
the last number of years, I have given away hundreds of pia-
nos and in order to continue this, giving and offering music
for therapeutic purposes, is in scattered places and we’d like
to bring this under one roof.”
Lage’s main objective is to create a national centre in central
Canada where the best course of action can be determined as
to how to help people with disabilities. He would also like
to have a neurological researcher and teachers qualified in
social and cognitive skills, reading and comprehension and
using music as therapy and a type of catalyst for learning.
Lage would like to have the centre in Winnipeg “so everyone
would have the same distance to go.”
He also said everyone interested would go to the centre for
a non-medical assessment to see what method to take with
each individual.
“I teach challenged people to do piano restorative work
but we’d also like to find employment for Autistics and other
challenged individuals,” said Lage. He has a three-part goal
he wants to accomplish to try to bring his dream to life. The
first part is to raise awareness to the issues the challenged
face. He would like to raise funds online for the Institution
of the National Centre for Music and Classroom Therapy to
be able to focus on the micro level of therapy.
“I also plan to speak to our politicians about passing the
Arts Tax Credit sooner rather than later, so that millions of
challenged children and adults can have relief from the high
cost of therapy. Not to mention those that passed over music
therapy or music for therapeutic purposes (music lessons)
because of cost,” said Lage.
He would like to see costs under $1,000, so everyone will
be able to afford to learn and grow through music. On July
19 Lage had a rare meeting on Parliament Hill discussing the
tax credit and he won. The tax credit will be put into place
sooner for the kids and it is still in discussion for adults.
According to Lage, other groups focus on the macro level,
but it is the micro skills which accelerate at a marvelous rate
when in conjunction with the macro therapy in maintenance
of Autism, heart attacks, or strokes. “But we can’t do any of
this without help completing the forms necessary to gain
government grants and who knows the ins and outs of grant-
ing so the poor can afford therapy,” said Lage. Why is he do-
ing this? Because, he said in the past 10 years there has been
scientific proof about the power of music in life and success.
His challenge to fellow Canadians is, ‘are you up to helping
those who can’t help themselves?’

with the dead cells. While fading is inevitable unless
you keep up tanning maintenance, there are things
you can do to keep your brown around longer. Don’t
use harsh soaps that dry the skin, as the skin cells will
die away faster. Shower gels are more moisturizing
and keep skin better hydrated. Keep your skin fresh
by exfoliating before you tan and use a good quality
lotion before and after tanning to keep your tanned
cells from shedding away.

The Strathmore Venom Tier III Junior B team captured the provincial title earlier this month by
defeating the Grande Prairie Thrashers.
Venom victorious
in provincial final
Mario Prusina
Times Editor
It maybe the most overused phrase in
all of sports, but ‘peaking at the right time’
was indeed the case for the Strathmore
Venom.
After posting an 8-5-1 record and finish-
ing in fourth place in the league stand-
ings, the local Tier III Junior B team was
unstoppable in the post-season.
Despite being underdogs in each of
their best-of-three playoffs rounds, the
Venom defeated the top two teams in
the South Division before defeating the
Grande Prairie Thrashers in the Provincial
Championship.
“We were nervous, but we knew we
could beat them,” said coach Jody Stolz of
the final. “We played the first place team
in the south and beat them in two (games)
and the second place team, we beat them
in three (games), so we knew we could do
it … we just had to go in with the right,
positive attitude and play lacrosse.”
After defeating the top-ranked Innisfail
Yetti and the Medicine Hat Sun Devils
in the South Championship, the Venom
made the 10-hour bus ride into hostile
territory.
“They did everything possible to get us
(off) of our game,” said the coach. “We
played great lacrosse – in the first game,
I don’t want to say it any better (but) we
schooled them – we schooled them in the
game of lacrosse.

“In the second game, they tried every-
thing – and they were winning after the
second period – but we calmed down and
relaxed and beat them in the third period.”
According to Stolz, the Venom can make
life frustrating for opponents.
“We’re a hard team to play,” he said.
“We’re fast, we’re physical, we’re aggres-
sive on the ball and you have to be ready
to play our transition.”
During the regular season, the Venom’s
rough and tough style of play resulted in
them accumulating 541 penalty minutes –
the most in the entire league.
Prior to the playoffs, Stolz send a mes-
sage to his players that was well received.
“The biggest thing we had to realize
was that for us not to lose in the playoffs,
we had to stay out of the penalty box,”
said Stolz. “Absolutely, the biggest thing
was our discipline and the kids believed
me when I told them. They (listened) and
they were rewarded for it.
“Hard work, determination and going
in with the right attitude (was the key) to
success.”
According to Stolz, this is the first pro-
vincial title since Strathmore became a
hub for kids to play lacrosse. He antici-
pates that younger kids will aspire to play
junior lacrosse and help build the pro-
gram from the grassroots level. Local cowboy shines at Stampede

Kids of all ages geared up to practice their goalie

skills from July 12 to 15. The Gold in the Net goalie
camp was in Strathmore for the first time, and people
came from Calgary and all over the area to take part
in the weeklong camp.

gold
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
From July 12 to 16, Strathmore host-
ed its first Gold in the Net, GITN, goalie
camp at the Family Centre.
There were 40 kids registered in the
camps and they came from all over Al-
berta to take part. The camp has been
known to help produce top-level goal-
ies. GITN is one of world leaders when
it comes to setting standards for the de-
veloping hockey goaltenders. Two of the
coaches who took part in Strathmore’s
camp are pro hockey players. Jase Wes-
losky was just drafted by the New York
Islanders and Dawson Guhle plays for
the Regina Pats.
“Erick Robertson, the owner of GITN
Alberta, has personally trained both Jase
and Dawson since they were 10,” said
Jeannie Robertson, director of GITN.
This was the 24th year the GITN has
been in Alberta, and many kids start as
young as they can and often come back
as instructors when they get older.
The camp lasted for five days and on
the last day, kids from the camp partici-
pated in a shoot out.
“For me I’d rather it be in Calgary, but
the facility is nicer here,” said Brent Mc-
Garry whose 10-year-old son took part in
his third year at the camp. Anyone who
spends a minimum of three years in the
camps will have a chance to apply for
an Aaron C. Cornwell memorial scholar-
ship. The scholarship is open to anyone
in Grade 12 or older. The camps offer a
3/1 ratio, three students to one instructor
for its bigger groups, allowing everyone
to have a fair chance to learn everything
evenly with the other goalies in training.
