Both women agreed they can’t even begin to thank residents enough for all of the support they have given to help
make the first annual Pet Expo the success that it was. Of course, with any new event, there are the occasional little
hiccups. Even though there were signs asking people not to bring their pets with them to the expo, quite a few

The Town of Strathmore will commence its Annual Spring street

sweeping on May 2, 2011, weather permitting. Please ensure that all
vehicles are parked in driveways and do not over hang the roadway. The
cleanliness of our Town depends on your co-operation in keeping roads
clear of parked cars.
Street Sweeping signs will be posted in your area to advise that street
sweeping will be completed the next day in that particular area. Watch
for signs as they will be set out a minimum of 24 hours prior to sweeping.
Please assist the Town by removing your vehicles from the street. Ve-
hicles left parked on signed streets will be ticketed and towed.
Residents can assist the process by sweeping the sidewalk in front of
your homes and keeping debris out of catch basins. Citizens are remind-
ed to stay a safe distance from sweepers and equipment and to slow
down while passing crews.
The Town appreciates your cooperation.

On April 26, 2011 council voted in favor of Bylaw 11-14 to amend the
Utility Rates and Penalties Bylaw. In order to encourage responsible
water usage and conservation of this limited resource, council has
decided that a change in the Water Rate structure is required. The
Town of Strathmore will be migrating to a rate structure that has more
emphasis placed on consumption as of May 1. The fixed rate for
water consumption will be reduced by 50% for all 5/8” meters, to $6.83
per month. The variable water rate is then increased to $1.60/m3. The
average household using 11m3 of water per month or less will not see
an increase in the cost of the water portion of your utility bill. This
migration to a “user pay” system will allow individuals to see more
savings for their water conservation efforts.

Fighting
a life long
battle
shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
She may look a little different,
and talk a little different, but her
strength and determination rival
most. Dee-Ann Wagner-Mercer
was diagnosed with Neurofi-
bromatosis 2, NF2, also known
as Bilateral Acoustic NF, BAN,
when she was 13-years-old.
“In high school I started to no-
tice my hearing changing,” said
Wagner-Mercer.
“In 2001 things changed dras-
tically, right after I got married.”
May is Neurofibromatosis
Awareness Month, and the slo-
gan for NF2 is ‘never give up’.
Neurofibromatosis 1, NF1, oc-
curs in one out of every 3,000
births. Many people may have
one or two small café-au-lait co-
loured spots, which is a charac-
terization of NF1. Adults with six
or more larger spots likely have
neurofibromatosis.
NF2 is more rare, occurring in
one out of 25,000 births. Mul-
tiple tumors and lesions, mostly
occurring on the cranial and spi-
nal nerves, are NF2’s most com-
mon characterization. Hearing
loss in the teenage years, or ear-
ly twenties is generally the first
symptom. After a friend of hers,
who also has NF2, posted a vid-
eo about her condition, helped
give Wagner-Mercer the push
she needed to speak out.
“I’ve been meaning to for a
long time. I’m really tired of the
stares, and my daughter has re-
cently been bullied at school be-
cause of how I look,” said Wag-
ner-Mercer.
“People are usually afraid of
what they don’t know, so if I ed-
ucate people then they won’t be
so afraid of us.”
Kayla-Ann was genetically
tested when she was two-years-
old. She is now six. Kayla-Ann
doesn’t have the same genetic
characters, which Wagner-Mer-
cer said was a very happy day
for her.
There is a 50/50 chance it
could be passed on regardless of

age, race, and sex.
Wagner-Mercer said she finds
residents of Strathmore fairly
accepting of her. They may not
know what’s wrong with her, but
because it’s a small town many
people know her, and know that
she is deaf.
“I want everybody to know
why (I look like this) Lots of
people judge by your appear-
ance and they don’t realize
they’re judging you, they have
no idea,” said Wagner-Mercer.
Removing the tumors can
cause facial paralysis among oth-
er things. It can be quite risky for
the patient. Some of the tumors
are inoperable. Every six months
Wagner-Mercer goes for a NF2
study at NIH national institute of
health. She said she takes part
in the study because doctors are
trying to understand NF2 better.
“It’s getting hard now that
Kayla is in school, a little hard,
time consuming,” said Wagner-
Mercer.

She said the study helps her
keep her NF2 in check. She also
said she thinks it’s very impor-
tant to go for the studies because
it may help doctors get closer to
a cure, and it’s important to un-
derstand NF2 is what needs to
be done.
“When you go in to talk to
doctors, you get the same thing.
It’s like you’re supposed to treat
me, and (yet) I need to educate
(them),” said Wagner-Mercer.
Janet Murdoch met Wagner-
Mercer and her family almost
four years ago. Murdoch spends
a lot of time with her friend. She
taught herself how to do sign
language through Dee-Ann.
“If my daughter wasn’t here I
don’t think I would be here to-
day. I have no choice, I have to
set an example for my daughter,
and no matter how hard things
are it can always get worse,” said
Wagner-Mercer.
“I just keep going because of
my daughter.”

~ May is Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month. (NF for short)

Today
Don’t know what that is? You’re not alone!
A friend of mine, whom I share the same genetic disorder

unleashed a very heart warming, touching, moving video about her
wisely. struggles with NF2 that I can’t say enough about. She’s a private
person, much like myself, yet she shared this very personal reality
to the world! Why would she do this? To spread awareness, and
help get us one-step closer to a cure!
My name is Dee-Ann Wagner-Mercer. I’m a 31-year-old mother
of Kayla-Ann, age 6. We live in Strathmore and have lived in the
area for nine years. I’m deaf, I look different, I walk different, many
avoid me, but despite my differences, I am still very much the same
as anyone else.
I have Neurofibromatosis Type II (NF2), a neurological disorder,
and wanted to share my reality with the community to help bring
some understanding.
I wasn’t born deaf and other than an obvious visual impairment, I
didn’t look much different from my peers. I used to be a very social
person.
My parents raised me like my other siblings and at times I hated
them for it, but all kids hate their parents at one point and now that
I’m a mom myself, I have come to realize they have given me the
most amazing gift! I was treated “normally”.
Imagine one day waking up totally deaf! Your whole world falls
silent and you lose a majority of your “friends” because they didn’t
bother to want to try to communicate with you.
Imagine being in a room full of people, all laughing, talking,
sharing and only being able to watch, not take part! Not being
included! NF2 has challenged me with many things, some I’ve
bounced back from, some have changed my life forever, but I’m
a fighter and NF2 has made me a stronger person! I am who I am

Summer is almost here and with it is the smell
of hamburgers and hotdogs being grilled on the
BBQ. It also brings the 23 annual M&M Meat Shops
Charity BBQ Day, which benefits the Crohn’s and
Colitis Foundation of Canada, CCFC.
“The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada

more and Chestermere locations with her husband
Robin.
“So you donate a toonie and we give you a star,
you put your name on it, and we post it in the
store. Just lots of little things like that have added
up to the huge amount of money, all the money
that we raise goes for research, and it’s all volun-
teer work and efforts that go into it.”
The founder of M&M Meat Shops said it was a
little-known disease and globally Canadians are
the most affected, which is why the Crohn’s and

yet distinct conditions also known as inflamma-

Alberta’s oldest women’s institute
to celebrate 100 years
shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The Carseland Public Benefit Club, PB Club, is
one of Albert’s oldest women’s institutes. 2012 will
mark their 100th year.
“In each month leading up to the event, which
is April 7, 2012, we’re going to feature a decade
and just talk about three or four things the club
did, three or four things that were going on in the
world and maybe a member that was present and
(see if there) are any connections to the community
still,” said Teri McKinnon, with the club.
Carseland Public Benefit Club
Carseland public benefit club
“In July 1912 a group of thirty-two Carseland
and district women founded the Carseland Public
Benefit Club. Over the years their undertakings
were many and varied including helping local
families in need, public assistance to local chil-
dren and flowers for the sick. During the wars they
had an extensive program of knitting socks and
sweaters, and sending food parcels
to the boys overseas. The Carseland
PB Club also assisted in the finish-
ing and furnishing of the new Hall,
catering and planning, preparing
and hosting bridal showers for local
brides and bridegrooms.”
– Quote from ‘Trails to the Bow
– Carseland and Cheadle Chronicles’
Since 1912 the Carseland Public Benefit Club’s
intention has been to augment programs for those
in need as well as provide a service to improve
community welfare.
As a not-for-profit organization, the PB Club ex-
ists solely to promote the health, well being, safety,
and education of the general population of the
Carseland district. For ninety-nine years the PB
Club attempts to fill or enhance any void in needed
service areas that relate or affect Carseland and its
surrounding population. The PB Club is not facil-
ity driven, nor sports or agriculturally focused, but
has supported a variety of populations within the
larger county area (i.e.: seniors, children, maternity,
voluntary associations).
Historically the PB Club has been for female
members only. However this was more due to the
fact that the men were either working the land or
serving in the armed forces. The division of la-
bor was so much more distinct back then; females
predominantly did stitching and cooking. In 1998,
“open membership” was discussed and it was
agreed that any community member was welcome
to join. There has yet to be a male member. The
Carseland Public Benefit Club does have a broad-
based membership of ladies living in and around
Carseland town-ship.
A wide array of events and programs enhanced
the community through PB Club efforts. They in-
clude:
• aiding medical treatment programs by fur-
nishing and providing equipment of the maternity
room at the Valley General Hospital in Strathmore;
• providing relief to the poor by semi-annual do-
nations to the Wheatland Food Bank;
• publishing of Carseland and Cheadle chroni-
cles book “Trails By The Bow” (1971) and ‘More
Trails to the Bow’ (2007)
• providing further education opportunities or
informational sessions in a variety of topics (i.e. fire
safety, health, local history)
The membership of the PB Club establishes and

Standard students shine at competition
Manny Everett
Times Contributor
Four young gentlemen from Standard
School presented their proposal of Low
Flow Showerheads to the panel of judges
of Agrium’s Caring For Our Watersheds
competition and came away with sixth
place finish on May 1 at the Calgary Zoo.
Christopher Everett (Grade 7), Jestin
Krap-Ross (Grade 8), Michael Kschesin-
ski (Grade 8), and Christian Rousselle
(Grade 8), with the help of their teacher,
Tiffany Phillips, did their school proud,
winning $150 for their group with a
matching grant of $150 to the school.
The Standard students’ presentation
focused on low-flow showerheads as an
inexpensive yet effective way to signifi-
cantly reduce the amount of water usage
in their village. As part of the project they
will be distributing flyers in the commu-
nity, outlining their findings, encouraging
residents to make the change and enjoy
lower water bills.
The Caring For Our Watersheds pro-
gram is an environmental educational
competition that encourages creativity
and rewards students for the solutions
they identify. Caring For Our Watersheds
partners with communities to create fo-
cused solutions to local watershed issues.
Students researched their local water-
shed, identified an environmental con-
cern and came up with a realistic solu-
tion. The researched ideas needed to
be explained in an approximately 1000
word proposal, including visuals, models,

At 1:40 a.m. on March 22 a fire raged through a home at the corner of

Briarwood Road and Briarwood Crescent in Strathmore. Four neighbouring
homes were evacuated for the safety of the occupants due to the severity of
the fire and wind direction. The occupants of the residence where the fire
started were not home at the time. A second residence next to the first, was
damaged by the fire.

Road Dawgs win gold!

The Strathmore Road Dawgs captured the atom division championship at the 2011 Cassie
Campbell Street Hockey Tournament held April 30 in Calgary. The Dawgs won all three round-
robin games and went undefeated en route to the gold medal, where they won 4-3 in the cham-
pionship game. The team consists of members who take part in league hockey, some play in
the Gleichen Pond hockey program, and some don’t play any form of organized hockey! Team
members include Connor Pirie, Landon Osachuk, Andrej Halkovic, Simon Hoff, Dallas Shep-
pard, Ben Cull, Turner Dirk, Kelton Travis, Connor Dunlop and Lucas Muenchrath. The team was
coached by Myles Pirie and Pat Osachuk. Congratulations to the Dawgs!

Nearly 40 players from Southern Al-
berta took part in Hockey Alberta’s U15
camp April 29-May 1 at the Strathmore
Family Centre.
The camp, which is designed to intro-
duce young athletes to the Team Alberta
program, was the first of seven weekend
sessions taking place in the province
this spring.
“It was extremely good – I felt like
we did a lot of really good things with
the kids in two and half days,” said Troy
Muspratt, Regional Development Co-
ordinator for Hockey Alberta south. “It
was an opportunity to introduce them to
the Team Alberta program.
“It’s just another program that Hockey
Alberta puts out there to try to develop
the grassroots program in smaller areas
around the province.”
Players took part in four on-ice ses-
sions during the weekend, mixed in
with some off-ice training and Hockey
Alberta program information.
“Off the ice, we do some things like
preparation for camp - we did a dryland
session that worked purely with stick-
handling and things that they can do at
home,” said Muspratt. “On the ice, what
we were trying to get across was per-
sonal skill development – a lot of station
work, a lot of puck handling, a lot of
skating. We worked on cycling the puck.
“In general, it’s mostly about individ-
ual skill development – we’re trying to
offer a development program to develop
talent.”
According to Muspratt, the constant
message during the camp is that hockey
is supposed to be fun. However, they do
provide direction for elite athletes.
Hockey Alberta will now host the
camp across the province in Grande
Prairie, Leduc, Cochrane, Lac La Biche
and Lethbridge.
According to Muspratt, Strathmore is
an ideal place to host this type of camp.
“Their facility there is excellent to host
an event like (this)” he said. “Having a
dryland area, an ice surface and meet-
ing rooms. It is an attraction because it
is closer to the city – to try and get kids
out from North Calgary and South Cal-
gary.
“It is relatively affordably too.”
