April 7 officially marked 100 days until the Strathmore2015 Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games are here, and organiz-ers are excited to see their work come together.

“It’s exciting and it’s a work in progress, we’re certainly

not completely ready, but we’re certainly moving in theright direction,” said Games Committee Chair DonaldaLedene. “I think it has been a great journey for our com-munity and the members of our committee and hopefully we’re going to showcase our community to the province.”

Help and support are still needed to see the event go off without a hitch. One way to get involved is if you’re 55 orolder, come out and participate in one of the zone playoffshappening in Strathmore over the next few months. Bycompeting in zones you can have a chance to compete inthe provincials this July. Anyone looking for more informa-tion on competing can contact the Activities Director JossBinns at 403-934-2458.

“We really would like to see more people actually asparticipants in the games,” said Ledene. “We also, in host-ing the games, have a great need for some people to comeforward who would be willing to billet some participants

from out of town and we’re always looking for volunteers. We need probably 700 to 800 volunteers during that four-day event so if people have a few hours that they can con-tribute and would register as a volunteer that would begreat.”

Billet hosts are also needed for the Thursday, Friday andSaturday nights of the games. They are not required to provide meals, just a place to sleep. For more info on being a billet call 403-934-2976.

There are also some fun events to get involved in be-tween now and July. One of them, which isn’t an event perse, is getting a ticket for the Dream Vacation Raffle. Ticketsare $100 and enter you in for 12 chances to win a $5,000travel voucher. There will be an open house at the Strath-more Golf Course on April 21 where people will be able tofind out more about the games, and the draw for the raffle will be happening.

Other events happening include the Easy Going Open

golf tournament on May 30, and the Beatles Tribute con-cert coming on June 20.

“We welcome people to participate as participants cer-tainly but there’s all kind of opportunities for them to vol-unteer and share what time they have and what skills theyhave, we would love to hear from them,” said Ledene. All the committee is asking of people is that they just

help where they can. A volunteer form can be found onlineat 2015strathmoregames.ca. There are different areas to volunteer in and the shifts can work around what each vol-unteer is available for. If you’re interested in volunteering you can contact Bruce Bishop at 403-888-9914. The com-mittee has a goal of raising $1.3 million. Currently, thanksto gifts in kind, grants, donations and fundraising effortsthey are just shy of $1 million. Ledene expressed thanks tothe many businesses that have supported all of the eventsorganized.

Please send questions to

[email protected]

Answers to all questions will appear on the

website on the Funeral FAQ Page.

Q: How much does a funeral cost?

This depends largely on the type of service you

choose, and on the possible disbursements.

For any service, there will be charges for

professional services, the use of facilities

and equipment, and for a casket or cremation

receptacle. These costs will vary dependingon the type of service you choose. Other costs

include placing obituaries in the newspapers,

owers, honorariums for the church, clergy,

and musicians, cemetery charges, burial

receptacles, cremation charges, cremation

urns, embalming, viewing and visitation,

slideshows, and funeral service videos. As

well, there may be additional costs for custom

service folders and other merchandise, though

many of these are completely optional. While

some of these items have an assigned value,

for most of them the cost will depend entirely

on what the family decides.

Cheadle residents are becoming con-cerned with excessive speeding beyondthe 30 km/h that has been the maxi-mum for a number of years in certainareas.

“A numbers of years ago the speedlimit on Railway Avenue in Cheadle be-tween Valor Street and BarBeeJay prop-erty was reduced to 30 km an hour,”said Arnold Teunissen, a concernedratepayer in a letter to WheatlandCounty.

He believes that now with further development occurring, there should be

limits as to where the 30 km/h zoneshould be.

“I believe that a 30 km/h should belimited for use in playground zonesand school zones and maybe in some

areas where circumstances warrantsuch restrictions,” Teunissen. “I do nothave a problem with the restrictions between Valor Street and Highway 24as properties are close to the street andlots of obstruction exists. However, Iam asking for restriction between Valorand BarBeeJay to be fully removed orif it seems necessary to upgrade to 50km/h.” Wheatland County Chief Administra-

tive Officer Alan Parkin shared his viewon the situation.

“Well currently it’s 30 km/h and thereis big trucks that go through there and we want to keep the speed limit down.I know there is two sides to the coin,

there are some residents that want tokeep it at 30 km/h and some that wouldlike it increased,” said Parkin. “Cheadleis not a very long area, you’re not look-ing at an eighth of a mile, it’s not like

Cheadle residents concerned with speed limits you’re going to lose a whole lot of timegoing 30 km/h in that area and keepsthe issues with traffic (consistent).”

He added that it’s primarily a safetyconcern for the county.

“There’s a lot of families there thathave little kids, so it’s a bit of a safetyconcern for us and that’s why the speedlimit is at 30 km/h,” said Parkin.

Einar Davison, who is well known in the community ofHussar, has put his name forward as the Strathmore-Brookscandidate for the Alberta Party. Davison first began his politi-cal career in 1997 when he met Grant Mitchell, then leaderof the Liberal party. Davison found he believed in a lot of the views the partytalked about and so he became a Lib-eral. As new leaders came along Davison

said the ideals and ideas of those lead-ers didn’t really mesh anymore withhim, and for about 10 years he wasn’tinvolved in politics.

“When the Alberta Party came alongit resonated with me, I liked what they were talking about, democracy withmore decorum. Instead of people try-

ing to take down the government, we would try and work together for the benefit of Albertans,” said Davison.

During the last election the Alber-ta Party had just started out and wasmostly in the city, and so while he wassupportive, there was no one for himto vote for.

“I didn’t feel the Wildrose were going to be much betterthan the PCs so I was one of those that held my nose and voted PC last election, with great regret,” said Davison.

This election he has decided he wants to be the face ofthe Alberta Party for this area, and so his campaigning has begun. Davison believes Albertans need a choice. There are

two right wing parties and he feels there isn’t really anybodyfor the centre anymore. He became tired of the parties in thelegislature that appeared to be not as concerned about serv-

ing the people of Alberta, and says if elected he would try toeliminate a lot of the bureaucracy at the top.

“Basically I believe in better government and less ideol-ogy, it seems to be that everyone is more concerned about

their own pet ideology as opposed torunning the government in a fiscallyand socially responsible manner,” saidDavison.

If we’re going to be charged ahealth care levy, said Davison, it reallyshould be going towards health careas opposed to general revenue.

“We want to take a more long-termapproach where we work to developa stronger economy, maintaining fiscalresponsibility, but not destroying oursocial safety nets such as our health

care system, and taking good care ofeducation,” said Davison.“I personally believe that education

should be about teaching children,and healthcare about getting patients better as opposed to just dollars andcents, and I think we have gone toofar the other way where it is just dol-

lars and cents.“I know we can do a lot better, it’s just that they’ve been

there so long that they can’t see how to do things differentlythan they have for years and years now. They have had 40 years to show their value as the manager of our governmentand economy, and they have done a deplorable job.”

Catherine Walsh, program coordi-nator for Strathmore FCSS, presentedcouncil with a list of the United Way2015 grant funding recipients. Every

year Strathmore is granted funds basedon the town’s population. This year a

total of $52,700 will be distributed be-tween the groups and organizations,

which include: the Friends of Brent- wood School Society; the StrathmoreFamily Outdoor Rink committee; Strath-more Frozen Meals on Wheels; Accredit-ed Supports to the community- HealthyFamilies; Growing Families Society- LifeSkills program; Hope Bridges Societyfor Creative and Continued Learning;Hope Community Covenant Church-School Fuel; Strathmore Municipal Li-

brary; Youth Club of Strathmore; Bow Valley College; Community Crisis Soci-ety; Project H.O.P.E; and the Strathmore

Wheatland Addictions Team. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Councillor Brad Walls told council he would like to have a legal team come inand refresh everyone on their roles andresponsibilities on council.

“Unknowingly we sometimes crossthat imaginary line, I am guilty of it my-self. This is just a good reset … we’remidway now, it probably wouldn’t hurtto refresh,” said Walls.

Councillor Bob Sobol suggested thatcouncil be specific on what areas they

would like to focus on, and stated thatthe answers to some of the questionscould be found in one of the many poli-cies the town is governed by.

Councillor Denise Peterson suggestedthat online instruction, prepared by law-

Grant funding announced yers, in regards to code and conduct bythe Municipal Government Act shouldalso be considered as a possibility to re-outlining some of those roles. Walls said the reason he would like

it to be in person is so that everyone isthere and hearing the same informationand then can talk about it afterwards ifthey are unclear on parts of it. A motion

was made and passed to have admin-istration prepare a report outlining thecosts of bringing in a lawyer to discussroles and responsibilities.SAYING THANKS

In December Savanah Sandri madea donation request to council to helpfund her trip to compete in show jump-ing in California. On April 1 Sandri was

back in the council chambers to thankcouncil again for their support, tell themhow she had done, and present them

with framed mementos of her, her horseChili and one of her ribbons.

“When I was down there I won fivefirst place ribbons and 20 clear roundribbons, clear round means I didn’tknock down any poles so I’m really

proud of that,” said Sandri.Later this year the teen will compete

in one of the Spruce Meadows Classics.

April is Oral Health Month. Good oral health

begins during pregnancy. Mothers-to-be need

adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D to build

strong bones and teeth. In young children, parentsshould brush their teeth for them until they are able

to do a good job themselves…around the age of 6

or 7. Teach them how to oss as well. Good oral

hygiene can translate into good general health.

December 2014 saw the 60th anniversary of the

discovery of the Salk polio vaccine. Prior to that

time, the approach of summer meant “polio season”.

Today’s parents can’t begin to understand the

horror parents then felt about the possibility of their

children being inicted with polio because prior to

the vaccine, the disease crippled 35,000 children

every year.

When the elderly start showing signs of dementia

(memory loss, confusion, loss of ability to do

everyday tasks, apathy and withdrawal, problems

with language), it’s important to rule out causes that

might be controllable.

The problem might be medication. As we age, our

bodies handle drugs a little more slowly so simply a

reduction in dose might be necessary. Anti-anxiety

drugs, sedatives, narcotics, anti-seizure drugs andeven some antibiotics can cause dementia. Our

pharmacists would be glad to check your drug

prole for you.

Our pharmacists can review your drug record for

those that may cause potential dementia problems.

We are never too busy to talk to your about your

medications.

Have you been looking for a new piece of art toadorn your walls or shelf? The second annual artauction fundraiser The Art of Connection, hosted by the Hope Bridges Society is being held at theStrathmore Golf Clubhouse on April 25 at 3:30 p.m.

“We have all sorts of art coming, photography art,mixed media, knitting, crocheting, up-cycling, mu-sic, pencil, acrylic, wood, ceramic, clay and nativeart and more,” said Coordinator Wanda Reinholdt. Artists, artisans and businesses from Strathmore,

Wheatland County and other nearby communitieslike Calgary and Airdrie. There will be both pro-fessional and community art on display for the af-ternoon, including work from some of the HopeBridges programs attendees and their facilitators.

“Our goal is $10,000 and there will be a live auc-tion as well as silent auction,” said Reinholdt.

Hope Bridges enjoys promoting local art and thisis one way to do so, and this is the only art auction

in the area that they know of.“Because we use art as a tool for us, it just was a

natural fundraiser for us,” said Reinholdt.“We need the support of the community and we

need to raise funds, that’s part of being a non-prof-it. This is a fun, classy way to do that.”

Last year Hope Bridges brought in over $7,000once all the expenses were paid, and they feel that

the goal of $10,000 for this year is attainable. Any-one with an item they want to donate can also callthe Hope Bridges Studio. Anyone who donates will be allowed into the auc-

tion for free, and will receive a tax receipt. Fundsraised from the event will go towards programmingand operational costs. There will also be wine andcheese served to the attendees.

Spring fever is not just a saying. Experts say the body’s makeup changes due to

different diets, hormone production and temperature.

Persephone was the Greek goddess of spring. She spent winters as Queen of the

Underworld but returned in spring to preside over rebirth.

JUSTIN SEWARD

Times Reporter

Alberta Health Services is propos-ing changes to the province’s drink-ing regulatory framework, and suggestthat Wheatland County submit a letterto support the new standards of water

measurable outcomes.“I think it’s a matter of the Govern-ment of Alberta pushing for strongerdrinking water and the county is asupporter of that and wanted to makesure that drinking water standards arecurrent and maintained at a safe levelfor our residence to have the highestquality possible,” said Alan Parkin,

Wheatland County Chief Administra-tive officer. “(Comparatively), bottled

water has no regulations and you canput anything in there and sell it.”

Parkin added that the county’s bud-get does include high standards ofdrinking water for the area residences. The situation that has been present-

ed by the Alberta Government is that

under the current system, Environ-mental and Sustainable Resource De-

velopment’s (ESRD) plans have been

primarily prescriptive ones that have aone-size-fits all approach. Therefore, the pressure rises on

smaller systems that has an area popu-lation of 500 people that have to meetthose requirements of the Potable Wa-ter Regulations in regards to a highercost to operate the system.

However, to run a smaller systemmay be disadvantageous in one re-spect: a smaller system may be unableto adapt to new technologies.

STUDENT PLANNER

Wheatland County administrationis seeking $35,000 combined, fundedthrough taxes, for a summer studentplanner and a fall co-op student for2015. It was brought up to council be-cause of the unsuccessful attempt byPlanning and Development depart-ments to secure funding for a planningintern for 2015. Administration requested that the

funding should instead go to a sum-mer planning and fall co-op student.

The student planner would be paid based on the Grid H5 scale.

INVOICE FROM STRATHMORE

FIRE DEPARTMENT

This topic was brought up to Wheat-land County Council to give the ap-proval to not pay an invoice in theamount of $7,353 from the StrathmoreFire Department for putting out a vehi-cle fire on Feb. 23. The Town of Strath-more submitted an invoice of $850/hour for three fire apparatuses that

were used for a total of two hours and53 minutes The invoice was a result of the

Strathmore Fire Department respond-ing to a rural call that involved a gar-

bage truck being on fire and the ruralfire department could not attend.

OFFICE REPAIRS

As a result of one of the developmentofficers being moved, the county will

be installing a partition between thetwo office spaces to allow for smallerspaces for contracting consultants and

provide an adequate amount of spacefor the remaining developing officer.

CEMETERY BUDGET REVISIONS

Wheatland County was asked to re- vise the maintenance budget for ceme-teries in the areas. The revision wouldinclude an additional $4,400 in operat-ing costs for the Gleichen and Even-tide cemeteries as well as Rosebud’s. Also, the county was asked to pro-

vide additional funding of $2,400through taxes, with the remaindercoming from interest earned in thecemetery care fund.

Annabelle Ornburn’s ancestors on her father’sside originated from Prussia and Wales. Accord-ing to Wikipedia, Gwydir Castle in Wales has hada fortification there since AD 600. It was once

owned by ancestors of her father, Floyd Ornburn who was born in Renick, Miss. on Aug. 24, 1892.

His ancestors immigrated to Missouri in the ear-ly 1700’s. He was raised and schooled here, be-fore taking training as a steam engineer; he then worked on the railroads in the U.S. as a fireman forseveral years, before moving to Canada in 1902.His uncle L.P. Schooling, also born in Missouri,had immigrated to Alberta earlier and farmedland in the Hussar area. He persuaded Floyd to join him, and Floyd worked for his uncle for sev-eral years, breaking hundreds of acres of prairiesod in the Hussar/Bassano areas. In the winter, he worked as a fireman on the CP Railroad betweenCalgary, Medicine Hat, and Swift Current, beforedeciding to take up farming, and purchasing hisown land five miles east of Standard. Annabelle’s grandparents on her mother’s side

were Bill and Mary (nee Kemple) Drysdale. TheKemples emigrated fromIreland to Missouri in the1700’s, during the potatofamine. Bill Drysdale emi-grated from England to America at around thesame time. Bill and Marymet in Missouri, and weremarried there, and raisedtheir family, before buyingland from CPR in 1914, andhomesteading with theirfamily on their farm, threemiles east of Standard. Their daughter Julia Dry-

sdale (Annabelle’s mother) born in Blockow, Miss.

in 1899, moved with her family to Alberta at theage of 15. She first met Floyd at various func-tions in Standard and they were married on Dec.2,1919. They lived and farmed on Floyd’s land,and raised six daughters. They became natural-ized Canadians in 1936. Their daughter Annabelle was born March 28,

1924 at Holy Cross Hospital in Calgary, the secondof six daughters. She grew up on the family farm,attended Long Beach School just east of Standardthrough Grade 9, followed by a year at Standard,then two more years at Cluny Dorm thru’ Grade12. When she was 14 years old, her father tookher to the Mayo Clinic to receive treatment for a very serious ear infection. The doctors were un-able to save her hearing in her right ear, but wereable to save the hearing in her left ear.

She took teachers training in Calgary in 1944/45,

followed by summer training in 1946 at the Uni- versity of Edmonton. She taught all grades throughGrade 9, at the Two Bar School in Wintering Hillsfrom 1944 to 1947. Here she met William Lester Armstrong, known as ‘Buster’ Armstrong, born Aug. 24,1922 to parents Christopher and Lula May(nee Still) Armstrong. The Chris Armstrong fam-ily had moved from Oregon to Alberta in 1919,and were the first real farmers in the WinteringHills area, as originally it was all ranching coun-try. They homesteaded where the current farm islocated, ten miles north and one mile east of Hus-sar. Originally, it was a mixed farm with grain andcattle, but nowadays there are no cattle.

Buster attended the Wintering Hills school twomiles east of the farm, then helped his father, be-fore joining the RCAF at age 18. He took training

as ground crew and wireless operator in Calgaryand Ottawa, before being posted to Europe in April 1944, where he saw active duty on the West-ern Front. He was there on D-Day, working over

18 hour days to keep the planes flying He arrivedhome safely in September 1945.

Buster and Annabelle met at a dance in Novem- ber 1945, and again at the Christmas concert amonth later, both held at the Two Bar School in Wintering Hills, where Annabelle was a teacher.She had organized the dance at the school, to

raise funds for the Red Cross and towards the ex-penses for the Christmas concert. Buster on hisguitar, with his sister Helen McDonald on the pia-no, played for both the dance and the concert! Ro-mance blossomed and they were married a yearlater, at Gleichen United Church on Dec. 29, 1946. Annabelle finished teaching the school year, andthen retired to the farm to start their family ofthree sons and a daughter - Bill, Ben, Ricky andPatricia. At the age of 15, Bill became very ill witha Pituitary tumour and almost died, but thankGod he did recover with the assistance of threespecialists. He now lives with Annabelle in theoriginal house. Buster built their home the yearof 1949/1950, from the foundation up, assisted byhis brother Adam. Originally built as a two-storyhouse, he renovated it in 1978, removing the topfloor so that it became a ranch-style building. He

had suffered a very severe heart attack in 1971,and it took a good couple of years for him to recover ful-ly. His sons, and neighbours,ran the farm while he wasrecuperating. By the end ofthree years, Annabelle was anervous wreck from worry-ing about Buster, so to giveher mind something elseto focus on, she became acommunity reporter for 15 years with the newspapersin Strathmore, Bassano andDrumheller. An avid gardener all her

life, she also wrote a gardening column. On the

side, she sold Fuller Brush and Rawleigh Prod-ucts, in an area from home to Drumheller andEast Coulee. Buster and Annabelle celebratedtheir 35th Wedding Anniversary with family andfriends, a month early in Hussar, because of Bust-er’s failing health, and he passed away on Dec. 20,1981 leaving Annabelle with four grandchildren.She now has nine great-grandchildren.

In 1992, Annabelle married Alvin Slattery andmoved to Peachland, B.C. Following his death in1997, she moved back to the farm, where she nowlives with her son Bill. Other sons, Ben and wife Terry own their own farm 1.5 miles west, Rickand wife Harriet run the family farm and raisecattle at their ranch in Gem. Daughter Patricia wasa well-respected industrial draftsman in Calgary,until she was stricken with MS that ended her ca-reer and her life on April 2, 2009 at the young age

of 56. Annabelle and Buster were original founding

members of the Surface Rights Group, formedto have more say in negotiations with Oil & GasCompanies, when they rented farmland. Thanksto his Air Force training, Buster was a very ac-complished electrician, and wired their home andmany others, when electricity came to the area.Buster represented District Seven as a councillorin the 60’s in what is now Wheatland County, and was a board member of Hussar Credit Union (nowChinook Credit Union). Both were active members of Our Saviour’s Church in Hussar. Annabelle was a frequent delegate at several church confer-ences, and a member of Women of Unifarm (UFA).She is now an active member of the church ELWand the Sundowners Senior’s Club in Hussar. She

is very happy to be with family and good friends. The main changes in the area include the loss ofsmall family farms and the highly technical equip-ment being used for farming.

A special town council meeting was held onMarch 24 to discuss the spring workshop, andthe possibility of going on a retreat out of town.Councillors were split with half in favour and halfopposed to the idea.

Councillor Brad Walls stated that by going awayit would give him and his fellow councillors theopportunity to focus more on the task at hand, without having the distractions that come from being so close to home.

“I think it’s important though for us to be fo-cused on our task and really spend the time, andI think we can be focused here, but I think it’s alittle more difficult,” said Walls.

He also feels that by going away it providescouncil with a chance to team-build and networkon a more relaxed basis.

Councillor Bob Sobol was opposed to going outof town, but did agree that council could benefitfrom team-building, done in a separate plannedand organized event.

“I was a big promoter of not going out of town

as well. I think for the first year of a new councilit’s a good thing in the sense that there is someteam-building regardless of whether it is orga-nized or not, you just get to talk on a more relaxed basis to your fellow councilors,” said CouncillorSteve Grajczyk.

“I don’t think we should go every year, just once when council gets elected.”

He said once you divide the money, which atthe lowest was just over $6,000 to go to Canmore,is miniscule over a four-year period.

Councillor Pat Fule said when he ran for councilthere were a lot of comments about per diems andgoing away for retreats that were paid for and hesaid he made a promise then to not support this.

“I don’t believe I need to be at a retreat to knowand respect my fellow councillors, I know whatare the important items for each councillor, what

things are important to them as far as the town’sconcerned, we all do our work on our committees.I don’t think we have to go away to be the get-along gang to be a good council, we can do that by staying here in town,” said Fule.

He continued to say that as far as being focused,the town elected them to work for the town andsaid if council can’t do a good job creating a bud-get in their own town then there’s something

wrong.“My rationale for that is because we’re so close

to our family’s concerns and we’re so close to be-ing able to just run home for a couple of minutes, where if you’re out of town you’re really on theactual (task),” said Walls.

Councillor Denise Peterson, who was in atten-dance via speakerphone, said she was involved

in the session in April 2014, and felt there was agreat deal left behind on the table. She didn’t findit focused, creative, motivating, inspiring or con-templative. She said it got the job done and metchallenges, but that was because of the great staffand their organizing.

“A retreat is a planning session, a visioning ses-sion, it’s not just a budget session and I thinkthat we can very easily misconstrue the processto connect the fact of going or not going to bud-get numbers when we know full well there are amultiplicity of factors that impact our budget not just the $7,000 that seven councillors and admin-istration going away, that barely equates to mypersonal budget on council,” said Peterson.

Last year she didn’t use her personal budget,and she would be prepared to use her own if

that’s the case.Peterson said she also thinks that in planningretreats in the past there was a lot of good plan-ning, guidance and a strong coaching componentthat helped.

“I think it has a lot to do with more than justgoing away, Councillor Fule is right, we can do thesame job that we’ve always done, but I think weneed to do a better job than we have been doingand I think we can do that if we’re away, I don’tcare where it is,” said Peterson.

“I think that spending that very small amount ofmoney comparatively to the huge responsibilitythat we carry is something that we can prove toour community that we can do better, and we cando well and I think retreats can teach us how touse it to the benefit (of the community).”

Fule continued to reiterate that he feels council

has done a good job, and are still doing a good job and that in his opinion it isn’t necessary to goon a retreat.

Mayor Michael Ell said an item brought to hisattention is the amount of money going out of thecommunity, and with the strained economic situa-tion in the province they should consider support-ing local businesses. Another area of concern for Ell is spending that

Council debates over spring workshop retreat

Manny Everett Office Manager

much money at this point, but he was in favour of the con-cept of coming up with a solution and doing some team- building, and create a vision on where they want to go as acouncil and a town.

Fule made a motion to host the workshop in town, which was defeated. A second motion was made to host it in Can-more, which was also defeated.

Grajczyk, who was in favour of going on a retreat, made a

new motion to reconsider the motion of holding the work-shop in Strathmore, which was approved, with Walls op-posed.

“The reason I did this is we could go on forever here, let’sget on with it, let’s make a decision,” said Grajczyk.

Peterson said in the interest of going forward and compro-mise she voted in favour of the motion.

Aspen Crossing is now offering eight new anddifferent themed train excursions in Mossleigh. Jason Thornhill, founder of Aspen Crossing, has

always had a passion for trains, stemming fromchildhood memories of sitting on his dad’s shoul-ders to watch the CPR trains running through thefamily’s 300 acre farm. Thornhill had no idea how much he would miss

the sounds of the trains after the last one madeits way through Mossleigh in 2002. It was whilestudying horticulture that he was amazed to dis-cover the integral part it played in the railwayhistory and how settlers were beckoned to theprairies and its fertile lands.

His love for the land and passion for trains were the driving force behind his idea of creat-ing Aspen Crossing. Now in its 11th year, there’sa nursery, gift shop, 1887 Pullman Dining car –that once belonged to John Diefenbaker- threeluxury Caboose cabins for rent and 85 servicedcampsites. This latest extension of Thornhill’s desire to

bring people to the prairies is the addition of hisown railway, offering themed excursions to help

bring people back to their roots and learningmore about their Heritage.

“Rural tourism in Alberta is gaining big strides, with so many gems to be found outside of theusual tourist attractions, like the Calgary Stam-pede and Banff. We’re less than an hour from the

city centre of Calgary. So visitors can easily comeout for a day, week, or weekend, and have a vari-ety of things to see and do!” said Thornhill. The inaugural trip is scheduled for May 15

and the themed excursions will begin on May 16and run every weekend. During July and Augusta circus-themed train will also be offered every Wednesday.

The rail tours being offered are: a Wine & Cheese Train Tour which will feature wines and appetiz-ers; Ales on Rails Train Tour featuring ales andappetizers; the Prairie Tour which will providehistorical and cultural insights; the Circus Train where there will be face painting, magicians, andmore; Meals in the Field is a four-hour tour withauthentic prairie lunch; the Alberta Special is fourhours, and includes dinner with locally sourcedfood; the Dinner Theatre will include dinner anda theatre performance; and lastly there will be a winter themed excursion, with more details on itto be released at a later date.

Rumours have circulatedaround town about the Strath-more and District Chamber ofCommerce and its future inthe area. There have been allega-

tions that money is runningout and membership is at anall-time low. While new Chamber Presi-

dent, Waldo Muñoz, ownerof Waldo’s Imaging, agreesthe chamber is in trouble,he knows it can be turnedaround.

Muñoz, who was a partof the Calgary Chamber ofCommerce, 1998-2003, saidit takes someone with a busi-ness mind to run the organi-zation.

He believes that there was

poor management in the past– and that from a businesspoint of view – the person

who made those decisionsdidn’t know how to run a

business, or they would nothave made some of the deci-sions they did.

“I looked into it, I amnot blind to what is goingon but I think with a littlehard work, we (the chamber

board of directors) can turn itaround. It is not going to beeasy but I have never backeddown from a challenge and Inever will,” said Muñoz. “Asthe new president, I will fix

what needs to be fixed, butit will take time. I need theentire support of the commu-nity. Unlike past presidentsand board members, themembers of the chamber canhold me accountable for my

Chamber ready to meet business community needs

FROM THE OFFICE OF

KEVIN SORENSON

The Honourable KevinSorenson, Minister of State(Finance) and Member ofParliament (Crowfoot) ishighlighting major enhance-ments to the Advance Pay-ments Program (APP) forfarmers that will improveand streamline administra-tion, provide greater flex-ibility and more repaymentoptions, and ease access tothe program.

“These improvements tothe APP are part of the com-ing into force of Bill C-18,the Agricultural Growth Actour Conservative Govern-

ment recently passed inParliament,” said Sorenson.“The Act modernizes andstrengthens federal agricul-ture legislation, supportsinnovation in the Canadianagriculture industry and en-hances global market op-portunities. Many of thechanges implemented underthe Act have taken effect on April 1 for the 2015 Program Year. I am most pleased that

these improvements are inplace in time to help pro-ducers plan for the new pro-duction year.” The APP is a federal loan

guarantee program thathelps agricultural producers benefit from the best mar-ket conditions by improvingtheir cash flow throughoutthe year.

Starting April 1, producerscan now request advancesfor all their commoditiesthrough one application with a single administrator,significantly reducing theirpaper burden.

In addition, there is nolonger a requirement for afarmer to be principally oc-

cupied in farming in orderto utilize APP. Across Canada, more than

$1.9 billion in advances has been provided to close to21,000 producers for the2014 program year to date.

For a full list of improve-ments, please visit the Ad- vance Payments Program’s website: http://www.agr.gc.ca/APP or call toll-free1-866-367-8506.

decisions.”Muñoz thinks there is a lot of

potential for growth in this town.However, he also sees there is alot of need in the community foran organization like the cham-

ber. There are several things that

Muñoz would like to see happenin Strathmore through the cham-

ber and they are: open a tourismoffice; start a temporary job bank

and an employment agency.Muñoz would like to see a

youth drop-in centre created.“I’d like a shelter for kids who

might be in trouble so they havea place to go without having tohang around a back alley,” hesaid. With summer right around the

corner, Muñoz has a few thingsin mind; they include, a golf tour-nament, a Salsa Fest, and some

business seminars. More detailsregarding these events will be re-leased in the future. There is a suggestion box in

the chamber office. If peoplehave any comments or sugges-tions, he recommends they tostop by and leave them in the

box. He promises to read eachone personally and he will takeall points presented into consid-eration.

The mosquito program iscoming back to the Langdonarea this year and is nowlisted as a core service withRocky View County. Coun-cillor for the area Rolly Ash-down said he has broughtit up in budget over the lastcouple years and is pleasedto see that is now a fixed budget item.

“It’s recognized as some-thing that the people ofLangdon enjoy and it helpsthe problem a lot. There’s alot of standing water in andaround the Langdon areaand that’s where mosquitoescome from basically,” said Ashdown.

According to Jeff Fleisch-er, Rocky View County Agri-cultural Services team lead,the mosquito reduction pro-gram in Langdon consistsof public education, moni-toring of mosquito larvae,control of larval mosquitoesand surveillance of adultmosquitoes. The program has three

stages: identifying thehotspots where significantlarvae populations exist;applying the larvicide; and

then monitoring and reap-plying as necessary. Thecounty monitors the areafrom May until September.

Larvicide is the most effec-tive and efficient means ofcontrolling the mosquitoes.It is applied to the pools ofstanding water where mos-quitoes lay their eggs, kill-ing the larvae and thus pre- venting the future presenceof adult mosquitoes. It also

has little to no impact onother life forms.

“In the past it has been

pretty effective and it makessummer a little bit more bearable because there’snot as many mosquitoesaround,” said Ashdown.

“The mosquitoes were un- bearable, they were keepingkids in at recess time, youcouldn’t open the windowsin your vehicle, mosquitoes were just swarming, it wasreally quite unbelievable.”

Residents of Langdon arealso asked to do their partin helping control the prob-lem.

“We have been encourag-ing the residents of Lang-don to take some preven-tative measures on theirown properties to eliminatestanding water, minimizeexposure and apply an in-sect repellant that containsDEET,” said Fleischer.

“We currently inspect allof the standing water oncounty-owned land withinthe Hamlet of Langdon formosquito larvae. If thenumber of mosquito larvaefound exceeds prescribedthreshold levels, larvicidetreatments are initiated.

“We also monitor the

adult mosquito numbers in-side the hamlet as well asoutside the area to help de-termine the effectiveness ofthe program.”

Last year alone Fleischersaid Langdon saw an over-all reduction in the adultmosquito population by 18per cent. More informationabout the program can befound at www.rockyview.ca/mosquitoes.

A very lucky Grade 4 class at West-mount School won the chance to playfloor hockey with Calgary Flames alum-ni Jeff Shantz and Harvey the Hound,

while also receiving new floor hockeygear for the school through the Flamesat School program sponsored by Chev-ron on April 2.

“So what it is, is an online learning

program, we’ve worked with teachersand groups that help us build programsfor students that are curriculum-based,”said Tonya Young, representative fromFlames Foundation for Life.

“Kids from the school division couldgo online, log on, their teachers can

download an online program andthere’s a wide variety of different pro-grams from math to stretching, gym toteamwork, all based on hockey.” Young admits that some of the cours-

Westmount School receive Flames visites are not all that appealing, but when you add hockey to the program it be-comes more enjoyable.

“The numbers are not all that inter-esting but when you put hockey factsin it, they can be,” said Young. “Everytime one of the teachers downloads

and completes program in their class,they were entered in a draw to win and we had two grand prize winners and Westmount was one of the grand prize winners with a brand new set of floorhockey equipment.”

She stated that it was important toreach out to the rural area and they were very excited when a Strathmoreschool was announced.

“We were really excited, we think therural and small towns that are surround-ing Calgary are super important for somany different reasons,” said Young. “It was a random draw done by a group inOntario that controls all the data so wehad no idea until we saw the address ofthe winning school.

“To have a group like this outside thecity that we can come out here and geteverybody involved and to bring theFlames atmosphere out here was awe-some.”

Ann Cheek’s Grade 4 class at Westmount Elementary was one of two winners of the Flames at School sponsored by Chevron. For being the winner,the class got to have a floor hockey game with Flames alumni Jeff Shantz and Harvey the Hound on April 2. The school also got new floor hockeyequipment as well.


Strathmore resident Bill Wallace found a Dec.29, 1975 Calgary Herald paper in his home.When flipping through the paper to see whatwas news back then, the cost of some of theitems shocked him, like the one stating a car-ton of cigarettes was selling for $5.17. Othershocking prices included .88/lb for groundbeef, $1.88/lb for steak, dog food selling for .85cents for four cans, and the cost of an adulttransit fare was only .35 cents.

The Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks badmintonteam is hopeful that their players will competehard in their upcoming tournament matches, butknows there will be a lot of developing to do withthe new players.

“This year we’ve split it up into three catego-ries, Grades 7-8, 9 and senior high. Basically we’redoing max volume in numbers,” said head coachDaniel Patterson. “Basically in Grades 7-8, we’re working on fundamental skill, just so they knowhow to hit the bird properly and how to play de-fense, easy coordination so they can get the hangof it.” As the players reach Grade 9, they begin to

learn strategies.

“We work on more basic strategy, they usuallyhave a good foundation of where the lines alreadyare, and we don’t have to spend too much time onthat,” said Patterson. “Then we get to senior high where we do our 1-on-1 training, where we do a

lot of footwork and basically specialization to see what they’re really good at.”

Patterson stresses a lot of fitness on the playersso that the drills are practiced with more stability.

“Each grade has a whole bunch of fitness andstrength conditioning at the beginning of the sea-son because we want to get their fitness up so thatthey can do the drills that we’re doing and makingsure they’re physically fit to play badminton,” saidPatterson. There are some high expectations for the senior

high level.“For our senior highs, especially because they’ve

played the most, is provincials – at least getting tozones would be beneficial,” said Patterson. “Last year we had a pretty decent showing, unfortu-nately we came up a little bit short with our goals.

“With regards to our junior high, Grades 7

through 9, the thing is to have fun is the maingoal right now. There’s a lot of work that goes intoit, but just appreciating the game and what it is.” The teams will also be in the counties on April

22 as hosts and at Strathmore High School.

RESURRECTIONPractice Resurrection. Afavourite poem ends with those two words. There wassomething strange about thecombination the first time Iread them. Isn’t resurrectionsomething we celebrate (past tense)? Or isn’t it somethingwe look forward to (future tense)?“Practice Resurrection”

(present tense)? I mean …haven’t followers of Jesusbeen marking this very weekfor over 2,000 years in cel-ebration and remembranceof resurrection? Doesn’tresurrection bring a sense ofhope for what is to come?What is poet Wendell Berrygetting at? In a word - reality.The reality that resurrectiongoes beyond past, presentand future tense. It’s that big.In fact, it’s so big i t’s goesbeyond Easter celebrationsand remembrances. It’s big-ger than the Church. It shines

light in all dark places. Itexposes brokenness, sin, anddeath itself. It points to life

itself and offers the promiseof “everything made new.”“Practice Resurrection” re-minds me that life is breakinginto the everyday. It’s something I practice in my mar-riage, with my neighbours,with my kids, in the work-place. It’s something studentscan experience in the hallsof their schools, lunchroomsand playgrounds. It’s wider

than our big prairie sky andhigher than the Rocky Moun- tains themselves.What would happen if wewould practice resurrection? What if Strathmorewas known as a communitymarked by such words? Whatif we were reminded of thepromise of Easter more thanonce a year - even everyday? The second centurysaint, Irenaeus, wrote, “theglory of God is a human beingfully alive.”How might you practice res-urrection? Be fully alive.

The Holy Cross Collegiate girls rugby team isentering their first year of league play and areconfident they can keep games close, but theyknow the battle level will have to be high.

“For us there is a lot of advancement from thefirst to the second year. They want to learn andthat’s a lot easier for me to coach,” said headcoach Brennan Grasdahl. “I think we’ll fare well. We played a couple of teams in a tournament last year and beat the ones that are in our league this year.”

Grasdahl expects the girls to play a fast and ag-gressive style of game.

“If we’re faster than everybody and hit harder,it’s going to be a better result than

if we’re just laid back and slow.” The competition from tournament to league

play is going to be an adjustment for a lot of theplayers as there will be some tough teams.

“It’s going to be a lot tougher, a lot more steepercompetition. We’ll be playing bigger schools, but Ithink they can do it,” said Grasdahl. The goal for the team is to develop the girls as

much as possible to advance their skills and to

keep the program running.

“We got a lot of younger girls this year and I want to advance them to keep the program goingand keep a competitive level,” said Grasdahl. “I want them to win … it’s a lot more fun winning,and as coach I teach them the tools, making surethey know its team before person.”

He said that the success will lie in letting otherteams know that they are out to win and to com-pete.

“If we can have some steep competition and letit be known we’re contenders and not a joke …that’s our goal this year is to set our name outthere and let everyone know we’re here,” saidGrasdahl.

For the girls on the team, it will be key in prac-tices to work on staying in shape so they can lastlonger in games.

“Conditioning is big, we’re always running, it’s

not like football where there are breaks in be-tween downs,” said Grasdahl. “I want to introducea couple of new systems and we’re switching from7s last year to 12s this year and have to introducefive new positions.” Their season will begin on the week of April 13

with an exhibition match against the Foundationfor the Charter Academy at Holy Cross Collegiate.

The UFA Bisons have made history once again as forthe first time in the team’s history they will represent thePacific region at the Telus Cup in Riviere-du-Loup, Que.from April 20-26. The Herd was able to sweep the Pacific Region Finals

with a 4-2 win on April 3 and a 5-0 victory on April 4over the Vancouver NE Chiefs to book their trip to thenational championship.

Bisons assistant coach Sandy Henry admitted the startcould have been better in the opening game, but heliked how the boys were able to work through that andtake care of business.

“(In Game 1), it was a little closer than it should’ve

been, we didn’t do as good a job capitalizing on ourchances we were creating and left them in it. They gotone on the power play and then it’s a game,” said Henry.“I thought we took care of business pretty good, maybe weren’t quite as good as the second. In third, the guysgot a couple goal lead, (and) were able to shut it down.” According to Henry, it was a good way to start the

series.“I don’t think we could have gone out any better,” said

Henry. “We went in their end and were pretty relentless,they had a pretty hard time with us and I think we start-ed to make our identity known to them and frustratedthem a little bit.

“They got back in that game … I think we had a fewmore penalties than we have been getting.” The Bisons limited the Chiefs chances in the final

frame and were able to take control from there.

“In the third, we were confident that we’re going to getthe effort we needed,” said Henry. “I think our condition-ing was good and we jumped out and got a couple ofgoals on them and were able to pull it off.” The Chiefs started the second game with some push

early on as it appeared they had no quit in them, but theBisons were able to start where they left off in Game 1to weather the attack.

“They had some push early in the game (and) weren’tgoing to give up, but again we got the first goal and builtfrom there and played out our game plan,” said Henry.“(We) finished checks … (we) frustrated them by what we did with the puck.”

The Telus Cup will be a new experience for the wholeteam, but having head coach Dan MacDonald beingthere before, it will help immensely with preparation.

“It’s a bit surreal for us, I’ve certainly never been there before but Dan has, and has echoed that based on hisexperience this team really started to develop the partsneeded to be successful,” said Henry. “Even before theplayoffs, he believed that we could have a real long runas long as our consistency stayed there and stayed on theplan for things that we were good at. As it turns out he was 100 per cent right.”

The coaching staff noticed that the boys are not done yet as the focus is still on bringing home the Telus Cup.

“It’s fun to have championships and keep going, but atthe same time when we got on the bus, I think they allsee they want to continue on, and by no means they’vedone enough yet,” said Henry. “They want to make surethey’re a good representation for the Pacific region andthink they have a real good chance to win the wholething.”

It was a hugely successful season for the

Rocky Mountain Raiders as they captureda silver medal at the Western CanadianBantam AAA Championships in Winnipegover the Easter weekend.

Despite losing 6-0 in the gold medalgame, head coach Mickey Kluner wasproud of his team’s performance at thetournament.

“Obviously you want to win, but you want to have a memorable experience tooand both of those (things happened),” saidKluner. “Outside the final game – where we struggled to have a good start and itkind of dug us into a deep hole as it wenton – the weekend was a phenomenal suc-cess.” The Raiders just could not find any

rhythm in the gold medal game.

“We were against a team that was a pe-rennial powerhouse and they had veryhigh-end talent (which) proved to be toomuch for us on that day,” said Kluner.“They scored two goals in the first and wecouldn’t find our mojo early on and thegame got out of hand in the second as theyscored a couple more.” The local Strathmore and Wheatland

players – Joel Krahenbil, Cole Clayton, Lu-cas Muenchrath, Tyler Strath and Kelton Travis, along with Langdon’s Brady Skiff-ington – all took their impactful seasonsinto the tournament and were differencemakers.

“It was no different than the entire year,they were a major contributing portion ofour team and they found success,” saidKluner. “They had some great moments forour team, the six of them this past week-end. Our defense played well with thethree of them contributing in huge fashion.

“Krahenbil has two goals, two assists inthe final round robin game against Win-nipeg to secure our spot in the gold medalgame, that was huge for us.”

Kluner added that even thought theydid not win the tournament, winning theleague was really the highlight of theteams’ year. The Raiders were selected as next year’s

western hosts and there will be many spotsto fill, as there are only two returnees nextseason.

The Crowther Memorial Junior HighSchool’s badminton teams are going to

be strong in this short season but knowthat there will be ongoing developmentfor the younger group.

“We still have one team at CrowtherMemorial, breaking it down within theage groups, there is the bantam, midg-ets and juvenile. Each team has theirown coaches, Travis Ericksteen andScott Koller have the Grade 9’s,” saidBrad Huntley, badminton coordinator.

“Lori d’Argent, Rod Neaves and my-self run the Grade 8’s and Ivan Wrightand Anne Paskevich run the Grade 7’s.” The three teams have been picked

for a while now, but being such shortseason means limited practice time andonly two tournaments.

“Unfortunately, we got one practice a

week per grade for two hours and thereis one day where we alternate. TheGrade 9’s are done, they’re just identify-ing who’s playing what, I do mine a lit-tle different, my team is already made, we’re just ironing out spots for mixeddoubles,” said Huntley. “Grade 7’s areclose because they get 60 kids try andit’s the biggest in a while I’ve had inGrade 8.” There are cuts because of such big

groups. All the players are divided intodifferent categories of badminton.

“There is boys and girls singles, dou- bles and mixed double and in each you’re allowed three entries into coun-ties per division and that’s what limits your team’s structure,” said Huntley. “In

the end, it works out to 12 boys and 12girls for each age level and typically it’sup to each coach.”

He added that spares are a must onthe teams as they are a great asset tohave during practices and in case of in- jury.

“We do three guys and girls sparesthat practice with the teams and ifsomething happens before counties atleast they get to fill in. I’d say each team brings 28-30 kids,” said Huntley.

The teams will be strong heading intocounties as most players have had ex-perience from the previous year.

“The Grade 9s are going to be fairlystrong this year. I coached them last year and they were pretty successful in

Grade 8 last year,” said Huntley. “TheGrade 8’s look like they have a lot ofpotential with a couple of bright spotson the team. The Grade 7’s are freshand new so it’ll be interesting to seehow they pan out.” The Grade 7 and 8’s will be hosting

counties at Strathmore High School andthe Grade 9’s will be at Holy Cross Col-legiate. A

ll games will be played on April 22, which will determine who will go tozones a week later.

“I’d like to thank my teammates andmy coaches this year for having faith inme and Mack,” said Kent. “We had a re-ally good year and could not asked fora better group of guys.”

It was a memorable year that Kentand his teammates will never forget.

“Probably winning the league cham-

pionship, never won one before so it was a special moment,” said Kent. “It was expected from the start that we would win it all and we did exactly what we were suppose to do, I’m justreally happy.”

He was honoured to win the award.“It feels pretty good, I don’t know

what else to say, I’m lost for words,”said Kent. “There could have been fouror five rookies on the team that couldhave won it this year, I was just happyto win it.” Wheatland Warriors netminder Ty

RICARD, Alfreda“Freda” Freda Ricard beloved wife, mother,

grandmother and great grandmother

passed away peacefully in her sleep

on Monday, March 30, 2015 at the age of 92 years.

She was predeceased by Lionel, her loving husband

of 55 years. Freda was born on October 31, 1922

near Hussar, Alberta. She attended school there, aswell as Cluny Dorm, and finished her high school

ing, farming, sewing, curling, dancing, travelling the

world, and playing cards with friends. Freda was

also actively involved in the Standard Community.

After she left the farm Freda relocated to Calgary

friends, a loving family and many happy memories.

The Bentley Generalsof the Chinook HockeyLeague are making back-to-back appearances atthe Allan Cup and arelooking to get retributionon the Clarenville Cari- bous, who beat them inthe semifinals a year ago.

Generals forward andStrathmore native KeenanDesmet, is confident in

the team’s chances of be-ing champions this timearound.

“I’ve been playing therefor three years and thereare four Strathmore guys– Brett Thurston and Ireside here that play upthere. Brett Robertsonand Kyle Sheen are fromStrathmore originally andthey moved on to Cal-gary,” said Desmet. “Bent-

ley is a great organization,they treat us well there. We’ve been to the AllanCup the last three yearsI’ve been there and it’s aclass act organization.”

Desmet likes the play-ing style that the seniortriple-A circuit providesand knows there will besome tough competitionat the tournament.

“Going to the Allan Cup,there’s lots of ex-pro guysand good hard hitting

hockey,” said Desmet. “Icall it the closest to oldstyle hockey as you canget like the clutching andgrabbing, hitting … guysare a little bit slower butit’s still great hockey andit’s for the love of thegame still.” The Generals have add-

ed some new young guysand he admits it will helpthe team in what will be

a good challenge out east.“I think this year is

unique because we gota tight knit group, everybody respects each otherand knows their roles onthe team and Clarenvilleguys who are hosting it,they’ve been out to get usthe last four years,” saidDesmet. “They’ve set theirsights on us the first game we play them and it’ll bea good challenge for us.” There will be some fa-

miliarity with the teams, but a lot of them havegained new players.

“It’s all a surprise when we get there, it’s prettymuch get on the ice andsee how good they are,”said Desmet. The Allan Cup will run

from April 13-18 in Clar-enville, NL. The Generals will begin play against thehost Caribous on April 14.

The Wheatland Kings are holdingtheir spring camp from April 28-30 (7-11 p.m. each night) at the StrathmoreFamily Centre and head coach JeremyBlumes expects it to be a competitivecamp as there are many spots to fill fornext season.

“We’ve probably got a dozen or so list-ed right now and we’re looking for closeto 80 – we’re looking for guys that canskate, think the game and most of all,guys that have real good character,” saidBlumes. “It’s an opportunity for the play-

ers to see what we have to offer in termsof a junior B option as an organization.”

Blumes added that there is a competi-tion amongst junior B clubs in terms ofrecruitment for players and to sell their

brand of hockey plays a contributingfactor in luring top talent.

“Realistically, there is a lot of compe-tition amongst junior B teams in termsof recruiting players,” said Blumes. “I’dlike to think that after one season backin the league, we can be a developmentprogram where you’re going to see play-ers moving on to the next level, havingfun and paying not even one tenth ofthe cost to go play in the KIJHL or other

leagues.” The returning players have been noti-

fied to come back to this camp and com-pete for spots.

“We’ve told all of our returning play-ers that we want them to attend becausea big part of recruiting is the guys that

you’re going to be playing with and Ithink we have a lot of good characterguys that come to the rink with smileson their faces and make it a fun place toplay,” said Blumes. “Our returnees will

be attending camp and I think they’regoing to be doing as much recruiting asI’m going to be.”

He is expecting bigger things from the

returning cast.“We expect them to play next seasonand play bigger roles than they did the

year before, but that being said, the greatthing about our game is it’s a competi-tive game and some of these youngerplayers come in and play their way upthe line-up,” said Blumes. “It’s an audi-tion for anybody, there’s no guaranteesin this game and I think some of our

veteran players learnt that tough lessonlast year.”

Blumes is looking for players bornduring the years 1997 through 2000 toattend the camp. The cost to register is$50 a player.
