Residents gained information from Jason Hale, the MLA for the Strathmore-Brooks riding, regarding natural gas and resource development at an open house held in Stratmore. Hale pointed out wastes in Government spending surrounding a $235 million handout for a coal bed methane capture plant and three billion dollars to improve the oilsands carbon footprint. Hale said Albertas carbon footprint is significantly less than Californias, which has no oil sand development. It is basically a corporate handout, said Hale, who thinks resource companies should not be funded by public money and the money should instead be put towards public programs. Hale stated that most of the oil from easy sources was gone, so there was a need to develop innovation in oil production such as coal bed methane capture. The audience responded with their environmental concerns over fracturing procedures. Hale said money should be given to independent researchers that could develop innovative solutions for the industry problems. Hale said there is new technology in use that could be used to deal with some of the environmental problems, such as micro seismic monitoring systems. Residents stated they would like to see regulations put in place. Questions were raised around the oil and gas price differentials that set the cost of oil and gas. Hale explained the various factors used in the calculations including supply and demand, different grades of product, availability and global factors that influence cost. An audience member asked about the possibility of putting in refineries close to the oil sands project and the status of various pipeline developments. Hale suggested that it would take over two years to get new refineries built and operational. There are currently four refineries and three upgraders in Alberta. Audience members suggested that government had plenty of time to build more refineries, if they only considered oil production patterns from the past. Hale said that the refineries cost between three and 15 billion to build, and currently Alberta only gets three to 11 billion in revenue. Some audience members suggested the cost could have been covered by writing details into the oil contracts, applying tolls on the product and adding dispensing fees. Continued on Page 2

School conversations in East Wheatland continue

Manny EvErEtt Times Contributor The Golden Hills School Division (GHSD) #75 once again held information meetings in the four schools in East Wheatland being affected by declining enrollment. The only difference this go around from previous meetings is they are looking for parental support from the communities for their proposed consolidated school at a specific location that was passed by the GHSD board earlier. The proposed site for the 450 student capacity school is located on the south east corner of highways 840 and 561, just north of the AVB greenhouses. Superintendent Bevan Daverne gave a positive public relations power point presentation to the four communities touting the wonderful opportunities and benefits that this consolidated school would have. This location is the best compromise, stated Daverne. At the Standard meeting residents were still very concerned about the now chosen location, stating that the land use, water and sewage (septic field) will not work in the proposed location. While Daverne tried to answer questions from the floor, there are still many factors that need to be resolved before the government will pump the amount of money needed to fund this large of a project. Daverne stated that the previous working group, who met from December 2011 through March 2012 (and who had equal representation from all four communities), came to the conclusion that a consolidated school was the only way to go. Where the school will be located is a big deal. Parents were more supportive of a stand-alone school because they felt it could be a shared school for their community not a school in another town. Sheri Skibsted, who currently has her two girls attending Standard school in Grades 7 and 9, stated currently parents who have children in Rockyford, Hussar, Gleichen and Standard in the K-6 grades take 100 per cent ownership of their schools. However once their children hit Grades 7-12 and attend Standard school the feeling of ownership diminishes from parents of the other three communities. The new consolidated school would cause all communities to take 100 per cent ownership and be equally partnered in their childrens education. GHSD is looking for parents of East Wheatland who have children attending schools in these communities to give them feedback, which they are looking to present as part of their capi-

tal plan to the government. There is still plenty of work to be done before this can happen. GHSD is planning to apply to the County for monies (hoping for the $1.68M that is held in the reserve fund). At the end of the meeting in Standard a question came from the floor asking Daverne If this proposed location falls through what is Plan B? His reply was, If the proposal doesnt go through (and the GHSD Board says this is the best shot). We will do the best we can with the existing schools in each community. We (the GHSD) are very eager to hear back from as many parents as possible asking the huge question Is this something that you (parents) can support?
A need to get innovative

Continued from Page 1 Energy talk moved to electricity. Hale stated the cost recovery cap had been removed for companies and consumers would be seeing a raise in rates. Hale said lines were being built, which presently dont hook up to anything, but are waiting to link up to lines in Montana, for cross border utility sales. Hale said rather than overbuilding electric power lines, he would like to see more local generation stations built. They could be powered by wind, natural gas or water. Mayor Steve Grajczyk asked what was being done about water supplies. He indicated forecasters have predicted that this area will be out of water by the year 2050. It is an issue we are not talking about, said Grajczyk. We need to build reservoirs. We can fill them when water levels are high and use the water when they are low. Audience members said that the WID has two locations where reservoirs could be built but requests to build them have not come through. Audience members asked Hale to take the water issue and resident concerns to Ministers in the Alberta Government.

Pink Shirt Day - Bullying awareness campaign

Manny everett Times Contributor Pink Shirts were seen all over East Wheatland and across Alberta on Feb. 27. Pink Shirt Day is becoming a worldwide event to bring awareness to bullying and its impact on people. Principal Karen Smith at Standard School said, every year more students and staff are participating in Pink Shirt Day at Standard School which speaks strongly about the schools culture of acceptance and intolerance of bullying. Children from Grades 1 through 12 (boys and girls) along with their teachers wore many shades of pink to take part in the day. Bullying comes in all shapes and sizes and it has infiltrated all aspects of society. People have been bullied since the dawn of time but the impacts have become greater and greater. People are bullied in the workplace, in relationships, in families and schools. Bullies use their words, their actions and all forms of media available to them. One sad thing is that bullies need to bully due to issues of power and control and low self esteem for themselves. In order to feel good about themselves or make themselves look better their need to bring someone else down becomes more and more prevalent. The original event was organized by David Shepherd and

Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after a male ninth grade student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during his first day of school. Since then awareness has been brought to the forefront. As of late the biggest problem in our society with regards to bullying has come through the various forms of mass media in our computer age of Facebook, Twitter and the availability of media to students through iPods, iPhones and Blackberrys. Kudos to everyone, especially the schools in our communities for wearing pink and making the awareness of bullying and its impact on our society and kids a priority.

High school tradition changes lives around the world

Laureen F. Guenther Times Contributor Two years ago, Brooklyn Davidson, a Strathmore Grade 11 student, had a brilliant idea: to host a concert showcasing the talent of students at SHS, and raise money to make a positive difference somewhere in the world. Davidson organized the first concert, and it was so successful, the Me to We Club made it an annual event. When Davidson graduated in 2012, she passed the baton to Mariah Wilson, now in Grade 12. During this school year, Wilson explains, the Me to We Club has designated all of its fundraising to build a classroom in the Osenetoi Primary School in Osenetoi, Kenya. Hoping to raise $4,000 this year, the club has already raised $1,000 through a Penny Drive in November. On Friday, March 1, they held this years benefit concert. It was accompanied by a silent auction, to which Strathmore artists Alecia Demott and John McElroy, as well as many local businesses -- The Station, Wal-Mart, The Laugh Shop, Orange Julius, Booster Juice, NV Hair & Body Studio, The Bank Athletic Club, Dominos Pizza, The Red Carrot, Home Hardware, Target Fitness and Agrium made generous donations. More than 100 people attended, and the event raised $2,100. All of the support from the community was overwhelming, said Wilson. The program line-up was impressive -15 individual students and three musical groups - and Wilson said, the concert went very well. Kylie Breault and Colten McMahons rendition of the song Little Talks by Monsters & Men; Richard Yaos original song titled Cloud; the hilarious dialogue from our emcees Carlee MsIsaac and Jenna Mohamed, were highlights of the show said Wilson. Concertgoers also appreciated a speech by Grade 11 student Paige Rist, about her experience working in Osenetoi last summer. Most people said every act was fantastic and that the whole evening was a night to remember, said Wilson. We heard lots of positive comments after the concert. Many people asked if they could buy a recording of the concert on a disk because the performances were so well done. Personally, Wilson says, my favourite part of the evening was seeing the

audience and performers genuinely enjoying themselves. She also enjoyed the satisfaction of a job well done. As the organizer, it was a relief that all of the Me To We Clubs hard work had paid off in an evening enjoyed by all who attended, she says. This years benefit concert may be over, but fundraising and concern for Osenetoi Primary School continues. The club plans a few more fundraisers in the spring, possibly including a 30hour famine and a necklace sale. Those who missed the concert are still welcome to support it. If anyone wishes to donate they can contact (our teacher) Ms. Magill at 403934-3135, said Wilson/ They can also take comfort in Wilsons assurance: We will definitely be organizing the benefit concert again next year.

Bravery in the face of danger

Sharon McLeay Times Contributor Staff Sergeant James McLaren, currently posted at the Gleichen detachment, received a RCMP Commissioners Commendation for Bravery in February 2013. The award is given for demonstrating outstanding courage in the face of extremely dangerous and volatile circumstances, not commonly encountered in routine police work and which pose an imminent threat of grievous harm, personal injury, or death. There was a lot of hard work by my members. They truly cared about their community and I could not have served in this way, without their help and support, said McLaren. McLaren was born in Edmonton and he enlisted in the RCMP 1993. His first post was Stony Plain, before moving on to Banff. He was promoted to Corporal, teaching several years in Regina RCMP depot. He transferred to Edson, and with a promotion to Sergeant, moved on to the arctic serving in Igloolik, Nunavut. He applied, and was accepted, for his last arctic posting in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. He later moved back to Alberta serving a short time at Calgary RCMP headquarters. He received his promotion to Staff Sergeant and accepted his posting in Gleichen. McLaren also received a Governor Generals award in Oct. 2012 and a RCMP Commissioners Commendation in Feb 2013, for bravery in dangerous circumstances. The award was generated by his response to a domestic dispute in 2010, when McLaren was serving in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. McLaren said it began with a husband getting drunk and running out onto thin ice swearing to kill himself. The officers looking for him were notified of a man running across the ice. It was end of May, when the ice is breaking up and extremely dangerous. McLaren and his partner donned cold weather gear and responded. Through a child interpreter, a hunter pointed to a safe route to reach the man. They commandeered the hunters skidoo and approached the man. As soon as we take a step, he takes ten. We tried to call him back, but he keeps going shouting suicidal intentions. We waited hoping he would come back in. Meanwhile, his wife sees him and frantically wants to go get him. We had to restrain her and divert her attention, in case something happened, said McLaren. McLaren said he called for a rescue boat, but knew response would be delayed. He told his partner to remain behind with the mans wife for safety. Meanwhile, the man fell through the ice. McLaren borrowed a seal hook and rope, tied the rope around himself, and slowly crawled out to hook onto the mans clothing. Just before he reached him, the ice gave way underneath McLaren. Luckily, the wind was blowing the man into shore, or he would have been swept away. The equipment had become useless, but McLaren was able to maneuver to reach him. The boat arrived and they retrieved McLaren and the suicidal man out of the water. They both were left in the boat, McLaren securely restraining the combative man, while a skidoo towed the boat to safe landfall.
The field of synthetic biology combines science and engineering. It relies on the great advances in genetics and nanotechnology (dealing with the manipulation of atoms and molecules). The far-ranging goal of synthetic biology is to be able to use a patients cells to grow a new kidney or other organs not functioning well. March is National Kidney Month in Canada. We are a decade or more away from growing new kidneys for people but for now we can still sign up for organ donation on our death.. They are many more people waiting for a new kidney than there are donors. Sign up to be an organ donor today. Increasingly more Canadians are living 100 years or more. People get to be this old through the usual good nutrition and regular exercise. But other conditions also contribute to longevity: being married, living in the same geographical area most of your life; getting a good nights sleep (at least 8 hours) and not smoking. Louis Pasteur, in 1862, first used heat to prevent beer and wine from going sour. This process, called pasteurization, is used today to keep bacterial levels low. In Canada, all milk intended for consumption must be pasteurized. The milk is exposed to heat of at least 72 for at least 16 seconds. It is then cooled to 4 to ensure most harmful bacteria are destroyed. The people who work in our pharmacy are our greatest asset. Let one of them serve you soon.

The patient was hypothermic and both he and McLaren were taken to the hospital for assessment. McLaren said alcohol is the major contributor to domestic incidents in the community. He said that his service there was rewarding and he would like to return for a visit in the future. The people are amazing. It has the most Inuit artisans in North America. The artwork is known worldwide. It is one of the richer communities because of the art. Inuit culture is different from the native culture. Policing is different. Its like saying, Whats the difference between African and South American culture? Inuit are closer to their culture. They are second generation from living off the land. It was a great community. If there was no alcohol in town, we wouldnt get a call for days, said McLaren.

June 27 - The grand opening was held for the new seed cleaning plantin Brentwood Industrial Park. The plant owners had stipulated that the seed cleaning plant be built on the outskirts of town, on a direct rail line from the elevators, and were guaranteed that no residential development would take place in the area. This proved to be shortsighted.

19th Annual Wild Game Supper and auction

The Wheatland Conservation and Wildlife Association held their 19th annual Wild Game Dinner on Saturday, March 2. This is a widely attended event every year and this years menu consisted of pheasant, bear, goose, cougar, big horn sheep, buffalo and elk. The most popular dish this year was the cougar stroganoff. The funds raised through this event, go straight back into the nonprofit organization whose focus is on assisting wildlife habitat and species management through conservation and education. This year, as in the past, the club was honoured and recognized through the Alberta Fish and Game Annual Conference for their efforts in habitat preservation, hunting ethics, education, pheasant programs, and the dedication to youth programs. Mike Van Verdegem (club member/ organizer) displays one of the hot Raffle items up for grabs. The Cheadle 4-H club came out to support the event and served up the tasty dishes to the guests.

My journey as a cancer survivor

lin Walker Relay for Life
A wonderful weekend in January 2002, away with friends came to a crashing end on the Monday night following that weekend. Sitting at the table having supper the phone rings. It is the doctor that I had been to see a week previously. He is all chatty. I get him to cut to the chase. Why are you calling? He says I have made an appointment for you at the Tom Baker Centre. You have cancer! I sat down in disbelief. Twenty years earlier I had a hysterectomy. The doctors had left in one ovary so there would be fewer problems later. That one ovary had decided to get cancer. Because I needed to have gall bladder surgery, which had already been scheduled for March, I needed to wait an additional six
weeks to heal before they could do the ovarian surgery. This took place on May 13, 2002. The longest four months in my life. I am a survivor. Unfortunately, not everyone can say that. Since my cancer, I have lost two very good friends to this type of cancer alone. Relay for Life gives us the opportunity to raise funds to help find a cure, share our stories with each other and contribute to education about the disease in general. Walking the survivor walk is very emotional as we know we have all been down that same path. Some of us will be back next year, but some wont make it. Please support a team, volunteer or join in the celebrations at this years Relay for Life in Strathmore. Sadly, you never know if you or someone in your family will get that call and hear those words I am sorry, but you have cancer!
School daze
Pat Fule Fule for Thought There has been a new movement in education to embrace and use technology. Once we did not allow cell phones in class. However, now they can be used for educational purposes. In fact, I have also begun to use technology in reffing PE games. At one time, I used to use the standard plastic whistle. After a few classes of biting on the plastic, your teeth can get pretty sore. I also blame these things for my already wide gap in my teeth growing into a chasm! In fact, when Im teaching, if I hit the right combinations of the letter s I emit a high whistle noise! Needless to say, my students find this hilarious, and in an earlier column, I mentioned that a few used to write creative stories with as many s words as possible waiting for the sharp whistle! I DO believe that we developed a stray dog problem at SHS BECAUSE of that high whistle! Well, I too have now begun to use technology. My new best friend in refereeing PE games is a sleek, red, electronic whistle. Its the size of a small flashlight and has three different tones. It also has a wrist band so it doesnt fall. All you have to do, is push a black button and it makes an exact referees whistle sound! This has helped protect my teeth, and has surprisingly helped with students who dont put out much effort in PE classes. Here is how the electronic whistle has helped me. I use the regular tone for refereeing, and a separate higher trill to signal my pylons to actually move (pylon is an endearing name PE teachers sometimes use for students who dont wish to move in PE and love to stand and chat). Now, whenever I use the second tone, my pylons know that they should move a bit more and talk less. Its really like conditioning them WITHOUT using high voltage. However, at times I DO wish there was an added tazer feature! About six years ago, I had a student Ill call Samantha. Sam did not like to do much in PE class, but visit and chat to anyone near her. In fact, shes the only student Ive ever had, who took a cellphone call, playing Right Field in Softball! The hit screamed over her head, and we had to have our own chat about paying attention in class. I explained that good ole Mr.Fule would rather NOT get sued when the ball hit her RIGHT between the eyes! I usually drive my van out to the Ag. Society ball diamonds, ever since an accident in another class happened, even BEFORE the game started. Back then, I arrived at the diamonds in time to see one of my PE 30 guys on the ground in obvious pain. He had decided on a dare to jump OFF the dugout roof, only to land on and break his ankle! Since then, I have always driven, even if I AM a short distance from the diamond! Fast forward a couple of years to Sams class. Bear in mind, that Sam did not move much in our softball games. Driving by Sam and her pals to the diamonds, I slowed to a stop, and lowered the passenger window. I called them over to see a new classmate. There, riding shotgun was a bright Orange pylon buckled in! I had taped the name Sam to it, as well as sunglasses, and she and her classmates laughed. However, I wasnt done yet. Out at the diamonds after we randomly picked teams, I put the Pylon Sam at Home base to bat! It stood to the side of the base, and I lay a bat on the ground in front of it. I went to the pitchers mound and pitched TO the pylon. When the ball would hit the pylon, I had one of the guys run it to First Base! I even think the PYLON made it safe as much as the REAL Sam! When it was time for Sam to play Right Field, I put Pylon Sam next to her with a ball glove open and on the ground next to it! That way, if any hits came out there, TWO Sams had a chance to catch the fly, even IF only ONE of them was real! I recently ran into the REAL Sam, and we reminisced about those glory days of Softball in PE 30. After we briefly talked, I left wondering if she had kept in contact with her Pylon pal over the years! After all, they WERE once teammates!

How counting your blessings can improve your health

Karin HitCHCoCK Counsellors Corner What are you grateful for? Have you ever thought about how lucky you are for having a bed to sleep in, clean water to drink, or food in your fridge? Did you know that by focusing on the good things in life (even those we take for granted) and expressing thanks can bring about an improvement in your happiness, health, and well-being? Part of the philosophy of Positive Psychology, is to encourage people to express gratitude in their daily lives, which can actually improve happiness and improve relationships with others. Optimism works. Recent research conducted in the U. S. indicates that when people take the time to be grateful, they can also improve their overall happiness by up to 25 per cent! Saying please and thank you is just the beginning. In fact, it was found that managers who said thank you to their employees increased their employees motivation at work. In a recent study completed by Dr. Robert Emmons, it was found that those who practised gratitude experienced greater health benefits, which included an increase in happiness, well-being, physical exercise, life satisfaction, optimism, forgiveness, enthusiasm, love, and altruism. Gratitude is defined as the acknowledgement of goodness in ones life and that the source of goodness can lie outside of the self. This isnt a new concept as many religions include prayer and meditative practices which focus on being grateful. How can you take the time to practice gratitude? Here are some suggestions for getting started on
LifeStyLeS
your gratitude journey. 1. Keep a daily journal and record several things that you are grateful for. 2. Post some visual reminders in your home, car, or office to remind yourself what you are grateful for. 3.Change your self-talk. We can change our mood by changing the things that we say about ourselves. We might want to say, Ive been through some rough spots before, but Ive always been grateful for the support of my family. Theyll help me get through this and Ill be okay. 4. Write a thank you note to someone you really appreciate! 5. Thank someone mentally in your mind. Perhaps its someone from your past who taught you something that you are grateful for learning. 6. Use grateful language. Thanks for doing that! or I really appreciate your help, or Thanks so much for all you do! can go a very long way. 7. Have a grateful partner or hang out with grateful people. Being friends with people who are positive and focus on the good things is catching. 8. Pray or meditate every day. If youd like to read more about how counting your blessings and expressing gratitude can help you to improve your life, try Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier, by Robert Emmons. Karin Hitchcock has a private counselling practice in Strathmore and is currently focusing on increasing her well being by practising 30 days of gratitude. She has a Masters degree in counselling and is a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

Recipe of the Week
Standing up for religious freedom

Kevin SorenSon, M.P., Crowfoot Parliamentary Report Two Tuesdays ago in the House of Commons, I delivered the following Members Statement before Question Period: Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate our Prime Minister for keeping our Conservative Governments promise to create the Office of Religious Freedom. This office will stand up to the terrible cruelty of religious persecution. Around the world, violations of religious freedom are widespread and they are increasing. In Iran, Bahais and Christians face harassment; imprisonment; and, in some cases death. In Pakistan, Christian, Sikhs and Hindus are vulnerable to persecution and violence. In China, Christians who worship outside government-approved boundaries are driven underground and their leaders are arrested and detained, their churches burned down. Shia Muslims in Iraq; Coptic Christians in Egypt; Christians at worship in Nigeria; the list appallingly goes on and on. Elsewhere we watch in horror as sanctuaries are destroyed and believers are attacked and in some cases, slaughtered. In the face of these injustices, Canada has not been silent. We wish Canadas first Ambassador of Religious Freedom, Dr. Andrew Bennett, success monitoring and promoting religious freedom around the world. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is fulfilling a role that previous Prime Ministers have when it comes to protecting freedom for Canadians. Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated, Canada is free and freedom is its nationality. This meant a great deal to Canadians of Lauriers generation and his words resounded throughout the ensuing decades. Prime Minister Harper said on Feb. 19 when he unveiled the Office of Religious Freedom, The freedom to worship according to ones own conscience is at the root of our personalities and therefore, at the root of all our liberties. Our Prime Minister continued by explaining that there is an historical link between respect for religious pluralism and the development of democracy itself. Democracy cannot develop in any society that prohibits the freedom of personal conscience and faith. Former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker said, I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think is right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind. The importance of the establishment of the Office of Religious Freedom cannot be underestimated. It is a beacon of hope to many people around the world. It is part of our heritage of freedom that many Canadians have given their lives defending. It is typical of our willingness throughout our history to engage in the struggle against tyranny and oppression around the world. Canadians want our government to promote our freedom and prosperity. Canadas Office of Religious Freedom will help Canada work with other countries and peoples and share our values with them.

For the past few years the band SILO has been building a fan base here in its own community. They play a hard rock style that is hard to find these days but that shows the roots of their musical love. Everyone listening to the band hears something a little bit different; a Metallica influence is apparent, as are Avenge Sevenfold and Offspring. Vocalist Clay (Cash) Watson said SILO has never wanted to sound like a cookie cutter band. They are happy to hear that their fans can pick out the different mix of bands coming through. They have always strived to sound different for each song, instead of each song sounding like the previous one. Last year the band was happy to announce their song Paper Note was being released across Canada to 131 rock stations. This year the good news continues for the band mates. A publishing company in Vancouver had recently scouted the band, and the rep wanted to see what he could do for the guys at the Midem Music Conference held in France this past January. The rep put together a compilation package of SILOs music and videos and then met with other representatives from music labels, licensing and publishing companies. Our music and the quality of our music was so well received over there that he didnt even have to do follow ups, he already had four of these deals. Basically these deals are placement licensing and publishing deals, and they have some really big backing behind some of these companies like EMI Music, Sony Music, Universal, said Cash (Clay) Watson. The reason its good is really the way you make money in music is through placement/licensing deals. If you think about the grand scope like how big Rock Band is, how many bands came from the Rock Band era? Or you think about movies, growing
up I would see a good movie and if youd love the soundtrack, you would go buy the disc, thats how you would get to know a band. These companies already have so many TV, movie, commercial opportunities all over Europe. Watson said sometimes there are bands that may be looking to buy a song or two to fill their album. By signing on with the publishing/licensing companies new doors and opportunities are being created. Canada and the United States are both great places to be, but musically right now, Europe is where hard rock is in its glory. Weve been trying really hard to get into that market and finally found a way in. Also it is going to open up a lot more opportunities in Europe, once they get to know your name then they want you over there playing music. Were hoping this kind of gives us that bridge to go from here to go over there and hopefully make a living, its sort of the first big, big step for that, said Watson. We have to go where our stuff is popular and right now in Europe its the place. Every year SILO host theirs own music festival called In Our Blood Music Festival. This year the event will be a baseball tournament and concert, which will be held in Lyalta. Leading up to the music festival the band hosts two pre-shows, one in Calgary and one in Strathmore. On March 9 the Strathmore Hotel is sponsoring the 2013 In Our Blood Music Fest and Ball Tournament Pre-Festival event. Registration will be open for the ball teams and the bands go on stage beginning at 9:30 p.m. The lineup for the pre-fest includes Devin Peterson, Big T, Head Cobra, SILO and Dunright. SILOs music can be purchased on iTunes or by heading to one of their shows where CDs are always on sale.

tion. His main forte was the construction of high-rise office and residential towers. Some of the buildings he was involved in building are well known the South YMCA, Woodman Junior High School, Mount Royal House, the Suncore Building, Norcen Tower, Rose Kahn Arena and Mayfair Place. When he completed the Norcen and Suncore buildings in 1970, they were the second and third highest buildings in downtown Calgary, at the time. Look at the high-rise buildings in downtown Calgary, now! In 1986, while the construction bust was happening across the country, with interest rates soaring to 20 per cent and beyond, Bob and Dorothy moved to Strathmore. Up until 1993, Bob worked with his son Bob Jr framing houses, and he also worked with various construction companies in and around Strathmore before retiring in 2008. He assisted in the building of the recent extension at Strathmore Legion #10. As a long time member of The United Church of Canada, he soon put his construction skills to work with the Property Team at Strathmore United Church, where he was responsible for building maintenance. In the meantime, Dorothy was not idle. She spent many years working in craft stores, as a nanny, and at one time was the daycare cook for up to 110 children. Since moving to Strathmore, she has worked with children at The Crisis Shelter, spent eight years working at The Toddle Inn Daycare, and served as a nanny for nine years with the Smail Family while they were in the RCMP. She has served on many different committees and projects with Strathmore United Church, and is a member of the Quilting Group and UCW. She and Bob both enjoy gardening, their family and friends, and their country home with its wonderful views west to the mountains. The main changes they have seen in this area include the increases in the number of acreages, highway traffic, and population in and around Strathmore. They are concerned with the loss of businesses in downtown, as some businesses are moving closer to the highway.

Beating the blues and blahs of winter

Laureen F. Guenther Times Contributor When gray winter clouds hang low day after day, and its so cold we dont want to go outside, we may feel the onset of the winter blues. Rob Van Dyke, psychologist and clinical supervisor at the Strathmore Mental Health Clinic, says the winter blues are pretty common for Canadians. In fact, 15 per cent of us have a mild case at some point in our lives. The winter blues may bring changes in our mood, so we feel sad or hopeless, Van Dyke says. We may have less energy and be easily fatigued. Some of us experience appetite changes, perhaps craving sweet and starchy foods. We may be bothered by weight gain, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. We may have less interest in sex or want to avoid social encounters altogether. For most of us, the blues remain mild, lasting only until the sun comes out or the world warms up. But for two to three per cent of us, Van Dyke says, the blues last longer than a couple of weeks and /or begin to interfere with our daily routines. In that case, we might have Seasonal Affective Disorder which Van Dyke says is, a diagnosable depression that has a seasonal pattern. No one is exactly sure what brings on the blues, Van Dyke says, but most theories suggest its due to reduced sunlight. As human beings, we depend upon sunlight, he says, so less light seems, for some people, to decrease mood and decrease energy levels. Sunlight also produces Vitamin D, and we may become Vitamin D deficient. It may also be because were programmed ourselves to revolve around day and night. Less daylight and more darkness, Van Dyke says, could be signalling our bodies to want to sleep more and to hibernate. He points out that less light and colder temperatures also affect our behaviour. We arent as prone to want to go out and take a walk outside or jog outside. We might instead choose to curl up and sit on the couch and be less active. Thats not necessarily a bad thing to do, but exercise is a natural anti-depressant. Fortunately, although we cant do much about our climate, we can do a lot to treat the winter blues. The most important thing to emphasize, Van Dyke says, is to get more sunlight in the day, which can be as simple as taking a 20 minute walk. If its too cold to be outside, open the curtains. Sit in the chair near the window. The second biggest thing is exercise, he says, being intentional about...setting up my day so that I do get outside for a little bit each day, so that I do exercise. Its also important to keep regular eating and sleeping patterns, he says, not over-sleeping or under-sleeping, getting a good amount of sleep each night. Since social isolation is a common symptom of a depressed mood, said Van Dyke, we also need to be intentional about surrounding themselves with people (we) enjoy. These are things that have been proven to really generate positive momentum for people, said Van Dyke. Those small steps can have a big impact. But for some people, these steps arent enough. For people who are feeling a prolonged depressed mood, with sadness, or feelings of hopelessness or despair, Van Dyke says, and/or if theyve had major disruptions to their appetite or sleep patterns and certainly if theyre having thoughts of suicide he encourages them to seek out the help of professionals. His first suggestion is to contact a family doctor, who may provide medication and light therapy. He also invites people who are concerned about their mood to contact the Strathmore Mental Health Clinic through the Rural Addiction and Mental Health Intake Line at 1-877-652-4700. If they feel theyre having those symptoms, and they feel theyd be helped by counseling or therapy, theyre certainly welcome to call, he said. Its also important to understand that feeling ups and downs is normal, Van Dyke says. Its part of what it means to be human....I hope people would not feel any shame in that.

Expectant women have new options in rural Alberta

Laureen F. Guenther Times Contributor Expectant Strathmore mothers currently must make the trek to Calgary or Drumheller to deliver their babies, they are not permitted to deliver at Strathmore Hospital. Locally, they may receive prenatal care until their babies are about 20 weeks gestation, then theyll be referred to a Calgary maternity clinic for support until their babies are born. They may take prenatal classes through local public health at any time during their pregnancies. Nurse and midwife Amy Deagle has been concerned that Strathmore women arent always served adequately by the pre-scheduled prenatal classes. If they or their spouses work out of town, such as on the oil rigs, or are in seasonal work like farming, they cant necessarily attend the classes at the times theyre offered. Deagle says, I was frustrated by the fact that women living in rural areas did not have the same access to care that women in the city did. Deagle, has worked as a nurse and midwife in Alberta, Alaska, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and British Columbia. I believe that women and couples need the education, information and support...so that they can make confident, informed choices in the best interests for themselves and their families, said Deagle. With these concerns in mind, Deagle recently launched Expecting Success. She explains that the new company offers online support, education and information for women during preconception, pregnancy and early parenthood. Before conception --- in the stage that Expecting Success calls Baby Talk Deagle and her staff offer online support & education. During pregnancy -- the Baby Bump stage -- women and couples can contact Expecting Success for pregnancy support and information, and for in-person or online prenatal classes. During Baby Steps -- the early stages of parenting -- Expecting Success provides parenting support & information. All across Canada, Deagle says, women and couples can receive information online and via telephone from Expecting Successs RN Consultants. Additionally, in the communities where the RN Consultants are based, expectant women and couples can arrange for in-person prenatal care, consultation and education. They can also access individual or group prenatal classes, scheduled to fit into their lives and tailored to provide the information they need. In Strathmore, Deagle said, there is a local Expecting Success RN Consultant, Sara Phillips, who will provide the online maternity and parenting support as well as offer private & group prenatal classes. Deagle believes the services offered by Expecting Success will make a significant difference for rural Canadian women and couples. Knowing that they have a medical professional that they can email for advice or schedule a call with, she says, should decrease stress and increase the empowerment of parents.

Rural and remote homelessness funding

MeliSSa St. DenniS Alberta Rural Development Network The Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN) is administering the Homelessness Partnering Strategys (HPS) Rural and Remote Homelessness funding stream for Alberta. The funds will be used to assist projects that offer supports and services to assist those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. ARDN believes that rural and remote Albertans at risk of homelessness face unique issues that require unique solutions, says Dee Ann Benard, executive director of ARDN. Its our goal to engage these atrisk rural Albertans and provide them appropriate supports so they do not become or remain homeless. A total of $424,625 is available to fund projects until Feb. 28, 2014. The deadline for applications is March 15, 2013. Though rural and remote homelessness is not as visible as it is in urban locations, it is still an important issue to address. It also impacts urban settings as many rural homeless people move to cities where there are more supports. More information on the funding opportunity is available at http://www.ardn.ca/programs/rural-remote-homelessness/. Priority will be given to projects with activities in communities with a population of 25,000 or less, although projects impacting larger communities may be considered. This project is funded by the Government of Canadas Homelessness Partnering Strategy. The Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN) is a not-for-profit partnership of Albertas 21 public colleges, universities and technical institutes working together to enhance the quality of life in rural Alberta through research and learning. Visit www. ardn.ca to learn more.

eaglelakeRVresort.com Re-opening May 10 2013! Strathmore United Church Thrift Sale

The Strathmore United Church Thrift Sale will be marking 37 years of service to the community and beyond this spring. The sale is well supported with donations and by many folks who come to volunteer. There are multitudes more who come to purchase items of value at very low prices. This is like the biggest garage or yard sale ever (with the lowest prices). The support of everyone is much appreciated and valued. We are often asked about where the items remaining after the sale go and where the funds raised go. The clothing and household items are delivered to Calgary to the Drop In Centre and/or the Mustard Seed to be redistributed to those in need there. The money raised from the sale goes far and wide as well as helping to support local groups and our church. Last year funds were distributed to: Local Strathmore United Church Wheatland Crisis Shelter Wheatland Food Bank Wheatland Christmas Hamper Strathmore Handibus Cheadle Lions Club (Canadian Food Grains Bank Project) Alberta St. Andrews College Foothills Presbyterial Student Bursary Fund Mustard Seed Calgary Drop-In Centre United Church Historical Society Calgary Urban Projects Society (CUPS) Acadia Place (low income housing) Alberta Child Wellbeing Initiative Alberta CGIT National & International United Church of Canada Mission & Service Fund Friends of the Observer HopEthiopia In addition, clothing or household items are donated every sale as needed when we become aware of the need. In the past we have assisted fire victims, charities in the Ukraine and Philippines and victims of violence. Over the years many of our customers have grown to be friends, we have enjoyed seeing children grow up and return with their children. We know the hard work of putting on this sale twice a year is appreciated because you tell us and because you return to donate, purchase and often work with us. The fellowship is wonderful and we are grateful to our community for your support. See you at the next Thrift Sale! For more information, please contact Lynne Fair (403-934-4359), Sharon White (403-934-3069) or Elisabeth Struiksma (403-934-3264).

This is an important opportunity for SMRA and especially the host U16 team as they are very excited and hope that all the teams attending will have lots of fun and skate hard. The weekends events begin on Friday, March 8 on the gold ice surface at the Strathmore Family Centre. The teams will all take part in an opening ceremony followed by a skills competition, in which all players must participate in at least one event. The teams will then gather at the Civic Centre for a congratulations banquet beginning at 6 p.m. Sonny Warrack is the head coach of the Ripperz and is very proud of his girls, as well as of his hometown of Strathmore. This event is a great way to showcase ringette to the community, said Warrack. He would love to see families with children of all ages out to participate in this event and witness this sport at its highest level of competition. It is my hope that many future young players and current players as well as community supporters join us this weekend and come away with a new desire to try a new sport, he said. Warracks team would like to thank the Strathmore Minor Ringette Association for their strong support and backing during their bid to host this years provincial games. Strathmore Minor Ringette Association is among the finest ringette associations in the Province, and my team is very proud and fired up to represent our community this weekend, said Warrack, extending his appreciation. Team goalie Raylee Dunbar has been a rock in net for this season, often holding the team in early in order to give the girls time to heat up. Rockyford area residents Danielle Clyne, Teddi Ann Skibsted and Cassie Rieger have added a lot of energy and fun to the team as well as regular goal scoring all season long. First year U16 members Jemma Warrack and Becky Driver have provided fierce fore-checking and steady offense while by age they are only considered U14 level. First year U16 players Hannah Wylie and Meg Warrack have been consistent defensive standouts for the team all year and will be leaned on heavily to contain top players from opponents this weekend. Second year players, team captain Kyra Keer and assistant captains Maclynn Ruckaber and Tassia Rushford will be counted on to spur the team on with their passion for ringette, strong offensive play and incredible determination. Fellow second year player Jenny McCollister, who has been very steady and always in proper position at defense, with her positive outlook will be sure to keep everyone on the level during the games to come this weekend. A lot of hard work went into the preparation of the U16B Provincial Tournament and the association would love to see the community come out to support the girls in their first game of the tournament on Friday, March 8 at noon against the Medicine Hat Zing.

Medals come home with Alberta 55 plus hockey players

laureen F. GuenTher Times Contributor Strathmore hockey players brought home two medals from the Alberta 55Plus Games held Feb. 13 - 16. Doug Risdon and his teammates on the 70+ team brought home bronze. For Risdon, who scored the bronze-winning goal, the win was a family affair. The hockey team from Zone 2, to which Strathmore belongs, lost their first game of the tournament, but won the second. In their third and final game, Risdons brother Leon, from Okotoks, was goalie. It so happened that the last game when we were playing for the bronze, it was my turn the fourth round, said Risdon. They dropped two pucks at center ice and then I skated one way to their goal and their guy (skated) to ours. His brother Leon stopped the puck at their net, and I scored, and we won, said Risdon. Risdons wife, Norma Jean and their three children were all there to cheer him on, along with their six-year-old grandson, Nolan Parker, who also plays half-pint hockey. Risdon said Nolan came up to me after...and he said, Grandpa, I thought you were skating a little slow on that shoot-out. Risdon laughed. Because they have shoot-outs after each of their games. Out of the mouths of babes! In the 65+ age group, six Strathmore men helped the Zone 2 hockey team bring home another medal. They won their first game against Edmonton, 3-1 on Feb. 14. Then on Feb. 15, they won 4-1 against Edson. On Saturday the 16, they met Calgary, and team organizer Jim Kay said, we played against players we play with a lot, because rural and Calgary people play together in local 55Plus hockey. The Zone 2 team captured a 2-0 lead very early on, but four or five minutes in, Calgary got a point. Zone 2 didnt win any more points but they didnt lose any either so, Kay said, it was by the grace of God and a little good luck and we ended up winning. They brought home gold. Despite their big win, though, Kay expressed surprise about one thing. We never had any agents come talk to us afterward, he joked. It was unbelievable. Well done to all Strathmore 55Plus Games competitors.
to all the Volunteers, Fans & Sponsors!

It was a great run!
Warriors battle back

Mario Prusina Times Editor With their backs against the wall, the Wheatland Warriors responded and earned a berth in the SCAHL North Championship Series. The local double-A bantam team, which lost 4-2 on home ice in Game 1 on Feb. 28, kept their season alive with a 4-0 win in Airdrie March 2, before clinching the series with a 3-2 win in Game 3 on home ice March 4. Theyre good team and it was a battle all the way through, said Warriors head coach Paden Grant. We didnt play our best in Game 1, we knew that, and we bounced right back. We had a really good effort in Game 2 it was a pretty dominating performance and it just kind of fed into Game 3. It was lot tighter game, but the kids kept battling and it worked out in the end. Unfortunately the Warriors got off on the wrong foot in
After a close battle with Airdrie, the Wheatland Warriors advanced to the North Final in the SCAHL bantam playoffs.

Game 1, allowing two goals in the first period, before Ryan Bell made it a one goal game off of a feed from Kody Hammond and Matt Quigley. The Lightning struck again, taking a twogoal edge, before Matt Halkovic converted on the power play with a feed from Quigley and Hammond. However, the Lightning iced the game with a third period marker. In Game 2, with their backs against the wall in a win-or-go-home game, the Warriors responded with a huge shutout win. Nolan Kent denied all 37 Airdrie shots, while Brad Hendricks, Joel Saraceni, Chris Rebeyka and Hammond each scored to extend the series to a one-game showdown. While Game 3 was postponed one day because of the winter storm, the Lightning got on the board first, before Rob Butterwick converted a feed from Rebeyka early in the second period. After Airdrie regained the lead, Rob Finkbeiner scored late in the second period, converting a feed from Butterwick and Sarah Lecavalier. The Warriors iced the game and the series with a goal with 9:23 left, when Rebeyka converted a feed from Regan Kinley. The Warriors will now meet the Sylvan Lake Lakers in the North Final, beginning on March 9. Game 1 is in Sylvan Lake, before the series shifts to Strathmore for Game 2 on March 10 (5:30 p.m.). Game 3, if necessary, is slated for March 12 in Sylvan. Were definitely going to have to be on our game, said Grant. There is a reason theyre in first place, theyre a really good team. We have to play a disciplined game and we cant get away from our systems. We just have to worry about winning every shift and battling hard. We cant have any lapses. Braves advance Despite sweeping their opening round playoff series, the Wheatland Braves need to elevate their game to another level if they expect to advance any further in the SCAHL playoffs. That was the message Braves head coach Keith Klemmensen had for his squad after defeating the Red Deer TBS two games to none. There is no doubt about it (that there is room for improvement), said Klemmensen. Ill tell you right now if we play like we did (in Game 2), well be done Sunday afternoon. Thats the second game of the next round and well be done. Bow Valley is just too good to play like that. Theyll just jump on you. We can beat Bow Valley, but we need to be working hard and doing our best. If we dont want to do that, they can beat us, believe me. The Braves opened the playoffs with a 4-0 win on March 1 in Game 1 on home ice in Hussar, before traveling to Red Deer March 4 and posting a 5-1 win. Despite outscoring Red Deer 9-1 in the series, Klemmensen was not fond of the Braves performance in Game 2. I give my hat off to the coaching staff of that team, said Klemmensen of his Red Deer counterpart. They outworked us for most of the second game and I give them a lot of credit. The Braves are now preparing to host Bow Valley in the North Final. Game 1 is slated for March 8 (7:30 p.m.) in Hussar, before travelling to Cochrane in Game 2 on March 10. Game 3, if necessary, will take place March 11 (6 p.m.) in Hussar.

2013 Alberta 55-Plus Games are for people of all ages

Laureen F. Guenther Times Contributor Strathmore residents represented our community well at the 2013 Alberta 55 Plus Winter Games, Feb. 13 - 16 in Calgary. Men from Strathmore and area played in all four hockey categories age 55+, 60+, 65+ and 70+. We also had representation in the Scrabble tournament. The Games, which provide both intellectual and physical challenges, also feature bridge and euchre, as well as curling, 5-pin bowling, carpet bowling, darts, shuffleboard, snooker, alpine and cross-country skiing, and badminton. The Games are usually hosted in smaller communities, so Kelly Blackshaw, who volunteered as board chair, says it was a treat for this years 1,136 participants to be hosted in Calgarys world-class facilities. It was also a highlight that multiple events were hosted in the same large rooms at the Calgary Winter Club. People loved being together in one room, she said, because, typically, at these games, these would be in all different venues and (participants would) never see each other except for opening and closing ceremonies. This years cultural events were also noteworthy. The Health and Wellness Fair, with 32 different exhibitors, welcomed both participants and members of the public. Plus roving vans and roving activities...kept people entertained, Blackshaw said. Everywhere you went there would be some little musical thing going on. People could learn to square dance or perhaps the Chinese New Year lion dance. She adds, we had these people on stilts called the Green (Fools) and they walked everywhere and engaged people. They were priceless! The National Music Centre loaned a busker piano for the Games. Anybody could just sit down and play it, said Blackshaw. A lot of seniors like to play the piano, so theyd just sit there (and play) and people would gather around and watch them.
The greatest highlight for Blackshaw herself was seeing people in that age group...being so active, engaged and inspiring and displaying that energy from being fully engaged in life. And theyre good athletes on top of it all. She also enjoyed seeing young spectators cheer on senior family members. Little kids came to see their grandpa play hockey or their grandmother carpet bowl, she says. So (the seniors) were actually inspiring the younger people to be more active. We saw little kids holding up signs that said, Go Grandpa!, there was (another sign) that said Grandma rocks for curling. Isnt that a hoot? People should take part in these things if they have the opportunity, said Blackshaw, whose husband and mother have both competed in the Games. Its such a great experience.... Its not about the years in your life, but the life in your years...If you have a chance, try it out! This summer, Barrhead / Westlock hosts the Alberta 55Plus Summer Games. The Canada 55Plus Games are coming to Strathcona County in 2014. Lethbridge hosts the next Alberta 55Plus Winter Games in 2015. See www.alberta55plus.ca to find out how you can compete or volunteer.

Spartans prepare for zones

Shannon LeCLair Times Reporter The Strathmore High School Spartans girls basketball team played in the semi-finals on March 1 at home. The girls played a close game but in the end were defeated by Holy Trinity Academy, who went on to win the league finals. We didnt shoot very well, but not having played since Feb. 16, we had trouble finding our game, said coach Dion Galandy. In the final provincial ranking, released on March 4, SHS was listed in the Top 15 as an honourable mention. Galandy said for a team of Grade 10 and 11 players that was pretty amazing, and while it wont help them win any games its fantastic. We just need to go out and play like we can and I think we should have a chance in any game we play, except the few top teams as they are clearly head and shoulders above everyone else in the province, said Galandy. Despite the loss the girls will played against Bert Church on March 6 for the first game of South Central Zones. The results were not available at press time. Basketball will continue for the girls either way, as Strathmore High School is hosting 3A Girls Basketball Provincials March 14-16.

Chiefs fall to Lakers

Mario PruSina Times Editor In an extremely close series, the Wheatland Chiefs took the best team in the North Division to the distance. The local double-A midget team forced the Sylvan Lake Lakers to a third and deciding game, before ultimately falling 5-3 in the winner-takeall contest. The Chiefs dropped a 6-5 decision in Game 1 on March 1 in Sylvan Lake, before a heart-stopping 3-2 double overtime win on home ice in Game 2 on March 3. Despite taking a 1-0 and 2-1 lead in Game 3 on March 5, the Chiefs allowed a pair of goals late in the first period en route to the loss. Despite being eliminated from the SCAHL post season, the Chiefs are now preparing for the 2013 Midget Major AA Provincial Championship tournament March 21-24 in Whitecourt.
Male Adult Shy, Smokey Black Cat Born: Sept. 2006

Sheldon was a feral kitten caught this past winter. He had 2 other siblings with him but after we trapped him, the others disappeared and we havent seen them since. Sheldon has come a long way and is doing very well with his socializing. He still hisses from time to time but this is one gentle boy, never lifts a paw to anyone. He purrs automatically once you touch him and will meow at his foster mom for attention. He loves to be cuddled. Sheldon needs an owner who is willing to give him time and gentle persuasion to get him to trust a new person, but once he does he is very rewarding with his love.We would like Sheldon to be adopted into a quiet home.
The Spartans played in the league semi-finals on March 1. The first game of the evening for them was against Holy Trinity Academy.

We want to keep four lines involved in the game if were killmore Family Centre on March 6 (result ing penalties all the time, there are some guys that dont get on the ice very often. not available as of press time). However, there are no second chances, Its hard to keep them all in the game. A lot of their goals were off the rush in as the Bisons must play perfect hockey to transition and we need to take that away extend their season. We need to simplify our game and from them as well. (So) we need more come with a better approach, said Bi- discipline and get more pucks on the net. At the end of they day, they were the sons head coach Jeremy Friesen. Its a five game playoff series for a reason I much better team. dont care if they outscore us 52-10 and Game 2 Red Deer Chiefs vs UFA Bisons we win the series three games to two. It March 1 @ Strathmore Family Centre Goaltender Richard Palmer played the doesnt really matter, you have to be the game of his life and forward Kurt Fraser better team three (different games). Here is a breakdown of the first three ensured that it was a win. The UFA Bisons netminder made 42 games of the series. Game 1 UFA Bisons vs Red Deer Chiefs saves and Fraser supplied the heroics with a double overtime marker, giving Feb. 26 @ Red Deer Arena Facing arguably the best team in the Al- the UFA Bisons a 2-1 win on home ice. After exchanging goals early in the first berta Midget Hockey League is obviously period, the goaltenders stole the show, a big task for the UFA Bisons. However, facing that impressive team before Fraser converted a feed from Mark McLeod and Conand brutal officiating nor Tudor. in the same game is I was trying to definitely overwhelm(shoot on net) and ing. hoping the goalie The UFA Bisons had would kick it out to Tua parade to the penalty dor there to pop in the box to open the series rebound, but I guess in Red Deer, and the it snuck by, grinned Chiefs made them pay Fraser after the win. It en route to a 6-1 BiMario Prusina Photo was pretty exciting it sons loss. Despite falling 1-0 in the first period, is (my) greatest hockey moment so far. The same could be said for Palmer, the local triple-A midget team managed to even the score at 1-1 when Tristian who made numerous great saves to preThompson converted a feed from Matt serve the win. We knew we couldnt lose or wed be Forchuk and Markson Bechtold. However, mere seconds later, the down two-zero, said Palmer. The team Chiefs scored the eventual game winner was playing great but they had a lot and added four more goals thereafter en of shots and it got me into the game. I didnt have a chance to think or worry route to the win. We took some penalties and thats or anything. Id say this is probably my highlight something we talked about, we need to stay five-on-five, said Friesen. Its not reel game, Ive never felt so good about a so much taking penalties and going on game as this one.
Palmer said Colby Chartiers first period tally, when he converted a pass from Mark Nerland and Mackenzie Bauer, really sparked the Bisons and changed the complexion of the game. In this game, they never had the lead on us and I dont think theyre used to that, analyzed Palmer. That put them off their game. According to Friesen, the Bisons made the right adjustments heading into Game 2, by putting pressure in the neutral zone and changing things up in the defensive zone. However, there was something that really stuck out for Friesen. I dont think we had one single passenger today, said the coach. Everybody was fully invested in the game and knew the magnitude of what we were trying to do. You dont want to go down 2-0 back into their barn (we) wanted to play well and gain some confidence. Game 3 UFA Bisons vs Red Deer Chiefs March 4 @ Red Deer Arena Despite carrying the all momentum after a huge home win, the UFA Bisons gave back all the positive energy to the Red Deer Chiefs in Game 3. The Bisons allowed three first period goals and two more in the second frame before registering their first marker, en route to a 7-2 loss to the Chiefs. We came out a little bit flat and disengaged mentally, said Friesen. We gave up seven goals, all of them five-on-five and that just tells you that mentally, we werent prepared. We talk about all the time how the small things turn out to be big things and that was definitely the case. From me, all the way down to the players, we have to be a lot better. They were the better team, yes but we gave them everything they got. Every goal they scored was a breakdown by us. They wanted it more and they were more hungry.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Marianne Janzen (nee: Dirks) on February 27, 2013 at the age of 82. Marianne was born on February 24, 1931 at the family home in Namaka, Alberta. She will be forever loved and remembered by her children Bob (Christine), Brenda, Beverley, Lori (Bruce), Allan (Jane), Warren (Dolores), Kathy (Marvin) and twenty grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Marianne was the sixth child born to Gerhard and Tina Dirks, and had sixteen brothers and sisters. She was very grateful for her Christian upbringing and the hard work ethic her parents instilled in her. She met her husband Nick in church and they were married on October 23, 1949. They enjoyed over sixty years of marriage. They raised their family in Strathmore and surrounding area. Marianne loved nature, she and Nick would frequently travel the countryside looking for deer, birds and other wildlife. Marianne had a green thumb and took pride in beautifying her home with many flowers and plants. She had a strong faith and was a great example to many. Marianne and Nick were long time members of the Alliance Church. Marianne took on many different roles within the church including teaching Sunday School, nursery care, AWANA leader, kitchen duties and later on Church Caretaker. One of Mariannes greatest gifts was caring for people, be it a kind word, a good meal or a hug. Her greatest joy in life was her family. She loved spending time with all of her grandchildren and had a unique relationship with each one. The candy dishes were always full when the grandchildren came to visit. Her cinnamon buns and sweet buns (with icing) were legendary. Surrounded by her family, Marianne went peacefully to be with her Lord. She was predeceased by her son Rod in 1975 and her husband Nick in 2010. The family takes comfort in the fact they are together again. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation. Rest in peace Mom until we meet again. The family would like to thank Dr. Douglas and the emergency staff at the Strathmore Hospital for their care and compassion. For those wishing to pay their respects, a visitation and viewing will be held on Sunday, March 3, 2013 at the Wheatland Funeral Home between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Funeral services were held on Monday, March 4, 2013 at Strathmore Alliance Church at 2:00 p.m. Internment took place prior to the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. at Strathmore Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either Project HOPE at www.ghsd75.ca (Golden Hills School Division 75) or Hope Bridges Society at www.hopebridges.ca.

Thank You
Cards of Thanks from Eric Knudsens Family
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all those who sent cards or emails and to those who attended Erics memorial service. We have received so many beautiful and heart-warming cards. We also wish to thank Pastor Dan for being there for us, Kay Isaac, Marg Nielsen, Jim Feradi and Leah, our granddaughter for their participation in the service. Our daughters gave a heart-felt eulogy for their dad. Thanks also to the lunch committee and those who brought food. Thanks to Dr. Piesas and the staff at Sagewood. I was especially happy to see Herb and Maxine Goodwin. She was my roommate in nurses training so many years ago. We hadnt seen each other for years. Most of all, I want to thank our kids, Robert, Kathy and Donna, their spouses and our grand children for their loving attention to their dad and grandpa and for all the help they gave me.
