Winter is here again, and with it once again comes the headache of icy, slip-pery streets and discussion of how best to deal with snow removal. At the Dec. 1 council meeting, Councillor John Rempel brought the subject up, to dis-cuss with council and to try to find a solution.

“I believe that we need to do more in the area of snow removal,” said Rem-pel.

“We don’t have a whole lot of money budgeted for snow removal and this happened in November, and it’s going to be a long winter if we’re going have these kind of streets to skid around on all winter long.”

He made a motion to add $200,000 to the snow removal budget in the hope that the streets will be better taken care of. His motion sparked much debate between council.

“So far this year we’ve spent about $35,000 and we have budgeted about $45,000 to get us through until the end of December,” said Dwight Stanford, Chief Administrative Officer for the town.

Councillor Earl Best said an increase of $200,000 to the snow removal budget concerns him, since council is already operating under a tight budget and he wonders where the money would come from. Quite simply, the money would have to come from the taxpayers.

“I’m very concerned that a $200,000 increase in this budget works out to a two per cent (increase) on taxes. It’s curious that I think most, if not all of council, ran on the premise in this last election that we’re going to work on reducing taxes, rather than increasing them,” said Councillor Bob Sobol.

He is not in favour of increasing the budget. He said from the people he has spoken to, no one is concerned enough to warrant a two per cent increase to taxes.

“I think we have a responsibility as a council to do a little bit more than that when it comes to snow removal,” said Rempel.

Anyone who walked into the front doors of Wheatland Elementary School from Nov. 29 to Dec. 6 might have thought the school was packing up old supplies.

Just inside the front entrance, boxes were stacked high, full of food items the school had collected to donate to the Christmas Hamper Society.

“These are all of our hidden volun-teers, there are just hundreds of school kids out there who work behind the scenes to gather in food. All of the schools within the Strathmore and dis-trict area, they just do a tremendous job,” said Dave Collins, chairperson for the society.

Grade 6 students from the student leadership council gathered 4,237 items to donate to the Christmas Hamper So-ciety this. The highest record for the school previously was 4,036 items col-lected in 2008. Students and staff were amazed and happy to beat the previous record.

Every month there is a Virtue of the Month for the students. For the month of December the virtue is Generosity.

“It’s great because it’s something tan-gible that they can see,” said Michelle Rushford, associate principal.

Each day there was a different theme for what items the students wanted to collect. Brandon Pederson said cans was his favourite theme day of the week.

“They came every day,” said Peder-son.

“It was interesting to see what people brought,” said Mitchell Hardy.

“I thought the pasta was really good. There was a bunch of different kinds, like microwave noodles and Kraft Din-ner and stuff,” said Claire Webb. Josh Christiano liked dessert day out of the theme days.

“When we did desserts, we got a lot of those too. We got a lot of cake mixes and stuff like that,” said Christiano.

Wheatland Elementary hasn’t been

the only school collecting donations to help out the society; all of the schools have been doing their part to gather what they can.

“What the schools get, generally speaking, seems to be a real cross sec-tion of staples. When you’re collecting from seven or eight schools and they are all collecting different items, then at the end of the day when you sort of mix and match all of those items, you come out with a pretty good selection of stuff,” said Collins.

The Grade 6 students at Wheatland Elementary gathered, sorted and boxed up the items, and on Dec. 6 they helped load the items onto the trucks. It took five trucks to be able to take all of the items to the society.

Continued from page 1There is a total of approximately

$135,000 in the budget for next year. Roughly $75,000 of that is allocated for contracted work, and the rest goes to the town to clear the streets.

“I would suggest we spend another $15,000 to $20,000 right now to get this downtown cleaned up, I mean it’s de-plorable,” said Councillor Rocky Blok-

land. “There are ruts all over the place,

you’re walking on ice, and you’re driv-ing on ice. I don’t understand, if we’re spending this kind of money to clean streets, why we can’t, if we have to, spend a little bit more to do a better job.”

Jesse Parker, Director of Engineer-ing and Operations for the Town, said they have increased the salt use down-town. He said basically what happens is because the 817 is salted, the salt is carried on vehicle tires onto the roads downtown, which is causing the ruts. He would like direction from council regarding salt use in the future. Cur-rently the town is using one truck for sanding and one for salt. They try to use all of the salt mixture before add-ing sand back into the truck. Because there are not proper storage facilities, they have to do it one load at a time.

Mayor Steve Grajczyk called on Stan-ford to hear his opinion and possible solutions in regards to snow removal.

“I think one thing that we definite-ly need to do is get a big grader, big heavy duty grader. We’ve got a small one, we’ve got a medium sized, if we get a big grader like the county has, I think it could cut through some of that ice,” said Stanford.

“We’ve never used salt for multi years and I think that by using some more salt, that would help.”

He thinks a storage area, be it a build-ing or tent for the salt would be ben-eficial as well, and suggested that it is something to be looked at adding into the 2011 budget, rather than buying it at a high price and hiring a contractor.

The snow removal budget has been an issue for several years. It cost the town approximately $183,000 for snow removal in 2008. There was a budget of $150,000, working out to approxi-mately $33,000 over budget.

For 2009 there was $323,000 spent.

The budget was for $146,000. Parker said in 2009 there was direction from council to go into the residential ar-eas. In 2009, $165,000 was spent in contracted services. Parker said they have been trying to keep it in house this year largely due the fact that they went more than 100 per cent over bud-get in 2009. The budget was just under $200,000 for 2010, and Parker said they expect to close 2010 at approximately $135,000.

“We’ve effectively managed the con-tracted service this year to keep that within reason, and I would say basical-ly what you’re seeing this current year, in 2010, is what you get with our own forces,” said Parker.

“Is it possible to have a mix of the two? Absolutely, and I think that’s why there is a budgeted amount for con-tracted service within there, and I do think that we need to contract some of that out, just given our limited staffing and limited equipment resources at our fingertips.”

After hearing the numbers from the last two years, Grajczyk said Rempel is probably right, and that whether they like it or not the budget has been close to $200,000.

“We don’t have the money. I don’t want to increase it either. It’s your mon-ey, folks, we can spend it, but taxes will go up so what do you want to do, you tell us what you want to do,” said Gra-jczyk.

“It’s one way or the other. I don’t want to increase them either but tell us what to do.”

“The bottom line is, come February 15 and there is still 10 feet of snow and our budget is gone….we’ve got to get rid of the snow no matter what the budget says.”

Blokland and Rempel voted in favour of an increase of $200,000 bringing the budget to $335,000, but the motion was defeated.

Snow cleaning a major concern for town council

Beating their record


Movember is now over but the fight against cancer isn’t. Movember (Novem-ber) was designated to help raise aware-ness to male cancers, specifically prostate cancer.

Members of the Strathmore Rural Fire Department, SRFD, grew out their best mustaches to show their support to the cause.

“Just because we could raise money for the charity, we thought that was a good thing,” said Mark Heilman, chief of the SRFD.

A minimum of a $25 donation was needed to participate. A total of $800 was raised, with the SFRD matching the dona-tions they received.

“We actually made the donations out of our pocket, that was part of our deal.

We paid money to grow the mustache and then the association, what they do is they match the money that is raised,” said Heil-man.

This was only the second year members of the SRFD have taken part in Movember, and Heilman says he can see it continuing for years to come.

On Dec 1 they got together to see who had the best ‘Mo’ and who had the worst. They just looked at who had the roughest looking one for the worst, and the neatest for the best

“I won the worst mustache,” said Heil-

man. Movember is recognized around the

world and began in 2003, when the idea came to bring the mustache back, as a bit of a joke, while doing something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003 but as of 2009 over $47 million was raised across the globe. In 2009 Canada raised $7.8 mil-lion, second only to Australia where Mo-vember was originally initiated. Monies raised through the Canadian campaign go directly to Prostate Cancer Canada to help fund vital research, which will lead to bet-ter screening tests and treatment options.

Answers to all questions will appear on the website on the Funeral FAQ Page.

Q: What is Embalming?Embalming, by definition, is the “process of chemically treating the dead human body to reduce the presence and growth of microorganisms, to temporarily inhibit organic decomposition, and to restore an acceptable physical appearance.” This process is usually performed by injecting a formaldehyde based chemical into the arterial system. The formaldehyde reacts with proteins in the body and renders them unsuitable for microorganisms to grow on. This is a temporary situation and the body will eventually decompose naturally depending on several external factors such as the type of casket and soil conditions. Embalming is not legally required except when transporting across borders or with public transportation, although many funeral homes require embalming if there is to be a public viewing.

Movember comes to an end


On Dec. 1 Jesse Parker, Town of Strath-more Director of Engineering and Op-erations spoke to council regarding ad-ditional operating costs regarding the Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, and Gar-bage programs. Parker came before coun-cil looking for a third and final reading to Bylaw #10-30 and the revision of the utility rates. The Sanitary Sewer program additional costs are a result of regulatory requirements associated with the new wastewater plant, and due to an increase in capacity.

Storm sewer costs are a result of ad-ditional information pertaining to the al-location of cost for the storm sewer pro-gram from the EPCOR contract. Garbage costs are a result of an increase in volume of garbage, transportation of the garbage, and tippage fees.

In order to balance the budget for each of the Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, and Garbage programs for 2011, the revised utility rates are being presented to Coun-cil. The revised rates would become ef-fective January 1, 2011.

The new wastewater plant has a com-ponent to it that deals with bio solids. The plant separates the bio solids earlier and they basically create a cake, which goes into a roll-off bin, and then the bin is transported to a landfill. There is only one landfill in Alberta which will accept bio solids, and it is approximately a 270 km haul. The hauler is provided by the

landfill, and it is up to the town to cover the charges and fees associated with the hauler. They are not able to provide their own hauling option or tender for a bet-ter rate.

“We’re investigating other alternatives, we’re currently working with other po-tential providers. The time in which they may be able to provide a solution is un-known,” said Parker.

The Town produces approximately 60 tons of bio solids per week, resulting in three 20-ton trips per week to the landfill. Each trip is approximately $1,900, and at three trips a week it costs the town ap-proximately $350k annually in hauling costs alone.

Council unanimously approved third and final reading, accepting the revision to the bylaw.

Town To a CiTy Council had asked Town administra-

tion to look into the process to become a city. While there can be a lot of ben-efits to changing over, such as bringing in some new businesses that may overlook Strathmore because of its town status from a legislative perspective, a change in status requires a motion by council, re-questing the Minister of Municipal Affairs to change the status from a town to a city.

Depending on the time of year, it can take two to three months to have the sta-tus change approved by cabinet. There would need to be a public consultation process, because the minister would want to know the residents have been

informed and no one is significantly op-posed. The probable effects, said Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Linda Nel-son, would be public perception to living in a city instead of a town; economic de-velopment, because Strathmore would be marketed as a city; costs incurred by the town and businesses would be to change signage, business cards and letterheads, among other things.

Cities are responsible for any highways in the municipal boundaries, including construction, improvements and main-tenance. Highway 1 would likely stay under the Alberta Transportation - juris-diction, council would have to negotiate with Alberta Transportation with regard to maintenance and capital costs

Jurisdiction and control of the 817 may be given to the town, but would remain as a penetrator highway, which means that Alberta Transportation would want an agreement in place to ensure that it continues to operate as a highway. They (the city) would likely be eligible for funding for both capital and operation costs as a penetrator highway.

Administration was looking for direc-tion from council to go ahead with the public consultation, and then bring back the results and get further direction at that point. Councillor Earl Best was con-cerned about the costs for the 817 and made a motion for it be tabled until they can verify the study costs of all the work that has to be done on the 817.

Council voted unanimously to table the motion for the time being.

Town looking for new waste disposal options


Fire Chief Muir Furzer came to council on Dec. 1 along with members of the fire department to swear in three new firefighters. Originally five were supposed to be at the Town offices but due to scheduling conflicts only three were able to make it.

John Wort Hannam first began playing guitar and singing 10 years ago, after his desire to become a musician finally propelled him to launch his career. Before becoming a musician,Hannam taught Grade 9 Language Arts at the Kainai Nation for five years. In 1997 when he heard a Loudon Wainwright III record, he was hooked by both the music and the sto-ries. In 1998 he bought a guitar and started learning how to play, and in 2002 he quit teaching to follow his musical career.

Strathmore Musical Arts Society has brought a number of acts to town al-ready this year, including Jack De Keyzer and the Sixties band. They are also responsible for finding Hannam.

“They contacted me after seeing me play at the Mountain View Music Fes-tival this past summer,” said Hannam.

Hannam has been recognized for his

musical talents numerous times since beginning his career, including being a 2010 Juno Nominee for Roots and Tra-ditional in the Solo Category, the Cal-gary Folk Festival Songwriting Compe-tition grand prize winner in 2009, and winning a 2008 Folk Alliance Music Award for the Best Traditional Art-ist Nominee. The one that meant the most to him was the, “Kerrville New Folk song writing competition in Ker-rville TX. The granddaddy of US song competitions,” said Hannam.

He said one of the coolest things in his musical career is when he gets to hear his songs on the radio.

Hannam will be in Strathmore on Feb. 4 performing at the Travelodge.

For $50 per ticket guests will receive dinner along with the show. Tickets will be available throughout Decem-ber at Music Centre Canada, Pro Water Conditioning, Assist Business Centre and PJ’s Appliances. People can also go online to www.strathmorearts.com and purchase tickets through PayPal.

Award winning musician coming to Strathmore


Earlier this year Strathmore resident Susan Ruzek came before previous council, requesting the town accept a dog fancier’s permit, to allow her to have three dogs. Teresa Fuchs, animal control/peace officer looked into the request, and on Dec. 1 her findings were brought forward to council.

“My concern with passing the dog

fancier’s permit is you’re going to have other groups coming forward, dog kennels, doggie day cares. So my rec-ommendation was to increase the By-law, from two dogs to three dogs, and maybe that would accommodate,” said Fuchs.

She looked at different towns and cit-ies that have the dog fancier’s permit to see what they have done. She said she often receives calls from people inter-ested in knowing the dog limit and say-ing ‘oh no never mind’ after they hear the limit is two.

“I would like to see it changed to three myself, personally. We get a lot of people that move into town, and you know they’ve had three shitzus for 10, 12 years, and now I’m going and knocking on their door and saying they have to get rid of one, because that’s how the bylaw reads,” said Fuchs.

“I guess my only worry with this is if we change it from two to three do we then get someone coming and saying I want to be a dog fancier and have four. Where does it stop?” asked Councillor

Earl Best. Councillor Sobol said he is confident

there are already many homes that have more than three dogs and he would like to see it legal.

Councillor Rempel was concerned with proposed change to the bylaw.

“If we allow three dogs per house-hold, that’s what we’re doing, we’re opening this up to another 4,500 dogs, and we have enough irresponsible dog owners in this town as it is we don’t need more dogs,” said Rempel.

“I agree,” said Mayor Steve Grajczyk. “But like Councillor Sobol says, they are here already and I don’t mean to be facetious about that but at least we’re getting the revenue.”

Currently there are approximately 1,700 dog licenses issued in the town. The proposal of instituting a dog fan-cier’s permit was dropped, and instead council will be looking at amending the bylaw. In order to discuss amend-ing the bylaw it must be brought before council in that regard at a future date. The issue was tabled until that time.

Council to look at increasing the dog limit

Becoming IT savvy A presentation was made

to council by the manager of administration services and representatives IT support. Council has been looking at ways to modernize the of-fices and a presentation was made discussing what could be done and outlining all of the options. Laptops will be upgraded to newer ones and the current LG ones will either go to other users, or will replace older laptops in the offices. They are also looking at switching all of the councillor’s phones to smart phones so that they may access their email and other important documents, whether at home or on the road. Internet access at his or her homes will also be up-graded to have everyone on high-speed Internet service. The goal is to ensure all of council has the same level of access and compatibility. The presentation was taken as in-formation for now and will be looked at again for the 2011 budget.

Gleichen water tower Construction on the Glei-

chen water tower has been delayed due to the weather. Crews have been working on reinforcing the wooden façade and David Churchill, manager of transportation and infrastructure for the county said he predicts the tower will be stable by the end of January.

Safety concerns Councillors of Wheatland

County would like to see the speed limit in Cheadle and Highway 24 lowered or a crosswalk put in. There are safety concerns since Canada Post moved all of the mail-boxes across the highway. Councillor Bernice Bland said even though she has not personally seen it, she has heard sometimes children cross the highway to collect the mail. Approximately 75 per cent of Cheadle’s resi-dents live across the high-way from the mailboxes and Councillor Ken Sauve sug-gested calling Canada Post to move it and have boxes on both sides. Because High-way 24 is a provincial high-way, the Alberta government has to approve lowering the speed limit or adding a cross walk. Motions were made to send a letter to both the Al-berta government and Can-ada Post outlining the con-cerns council has and asking to work together to find a resolution to the problem.

Recreational facility Craig Stone from the

Strathmore Golf Course made a presentation before council about their Strategic Planning Group. The group

wasn’t looking for money but was instead looking for support. They are looking at building a year round multi-ple recreation facility, which will house a variety of differ-ent groups. There was talk of having a bowling alley, in-door soccer and the curling club in the building among different recreational type activities. There will be an in-formation session put on by the planning group on Jan. 26 at 7 p.m.

Donation policy to be looked at

Reeve Ben Armstrong would like the county to be-come a major supporter of the Cheadle Lions Club an-nual foodgrain bank proj-ect. To be considered a ma-jor supporter there must be a minimum donation of $5,000. Every dollar dona-tion actually works out to $5, as it is raised $4 by the government. The county has supported the project in the past, which provides food to those in need all over the world. Currently there is no budget or policy in place for donations. Councillor Bren-da Knight made a motion for the budget committee to consider for 2011 a donation account with a county policy put in place prior to the bud-get being made.

Land use bylaw 2010-51A public hearing was held

regarding amendments to the land use bylaw 2010-51. There had been a request for an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw regarding por-table storage. The amend-ments are no more than one derelict, unlicensed, unused vehicle per lot. Shelterbelt trees are currently at a 75ft setback and council would like to amend it to a 50ft set-back.

Residents came to share their thoughts and opinions and for many of the Gleichen residents who were at the meeting, they felt it is taking to long to start enforcing it and would like to see some-thing start happening with it soon.

From this point forward any of the existing proper-ties, which have shelterbelt trees that are not in ac-cordance with the current bylaw, will be considered non-conforming and will be looked into and discussed if an issue were to arise be-cause of them.

In certain cases with the bylaw, residents have an op-portunity to come to council for a variance if they feel that they should be looked at in a discretionary manner.

Council will be further discussing the issue and the bylaw may appear before council again in the form of a public hearing though that was not determined at the end of the hearing.

County councillors may become a little more IT savvy in 2011

Kevin SorenSon, M.P., CrowfootParliamentary Report

Many of you will have seen the media reports of the outrageous chief and council pay data re-leased by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. For example, approximately 50 reserve politicians took home paycheques larger than the Prime Minister in 2008-09. Approximately 160 reserve politicians were paid more than their respective provincial premiers in 2008-09. Over 600 received an income that is equivalent to over $100,000 off reserve; and one Atlantic Canada reserve politician was paid $978,468 tax-free in 2008-09 (equivalent to about $1.8 million off reserve).

Canadians also know of some of the desperate and third-world conditions that exist on some Indi-an Reserves and want greater transparency of fed-eral spending on reserves and in particular, reserve politicians’ pay levels. Why is the federal funding of aboriginals not trickling down to the grassroots aboriginal families?

Conservative MP Kelly Block (Saskatoon-Rose-town-Biggar) has introduced Private Member’s Bill, C-575 the First Nations Financial Transparency Act to do something about it. Bill C-575 would require First Nations to publish the salary and expenses paid to chiefs and councillors with federal govern-ment funds.

This important Bill is about increasing the trans-parency and accountability of federal government funds flowing to First Nations. First Nation com-munity members, and all Canadians, have a right to know how tax dollars are spent. While First Nation governments are responsible for determining sal-ary and other forms of compensation, this Act will require First Nations officials to publish their salary and expenses in their annual financial statements.

Chiefs across the country have, in the past, unit-ed to demonstrate their commitment to financial accountability and transparency. As a Conservative Member of Parliament, I too believe in financial ac-countability and transparency. I also truly believe that this legislation will help people on all sides. These measures would facilitate band councils and members coming together in a greater atmosphere of trust and openness.

This is a clear and straightforward piece of legis-lation that will give all MPs the opportunity to sup-port accountability in First Nations communities. I trust First Nations elected officials will welcome this as an important tool in helping deliver trans-parency to their constituents.

Salary and expense portions of financial state-ments would be made publicly available by the First Nation 120 days following March 31 in each calendar year. Failure to do so would allow the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs to make the remuneration and expenses information pub-licly available.

Since I was first elected as our federal represen-tative, I have seen that successive federal govern-ments have not responded effectively to reports of extravagant and sometimes nefarious spending of federal tax dollars by individual aboriginal leaders. All the while, we have seen governments trying to work toward addressing the challenges Canada’s First Nations Peoples confront on and off reserves. It is with the welfare of the average Aboriginal who is subject to the actions of these chiefs and councils in mind that I will be voting in support of C-575.

If you have any questions or concerns regard-ing this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail [email protected].

The Strathmore Rusty Spurs did their com-munity service on Nov. 30 by buying stuff that the crisis shelter needed so they could improve their shelter. We shopped at Wal-Mart and split into two teams, each trying to get closest to $100 and the winning team was only five cents away! After that, we went back to the EnCana building and had our meeting, pizza and our Secret Santa gift exchange. There were some very cool gifts given to each other.

During our meeting, we decided to have our Public Speaking Competition on Feb. 20 at the Strathmore High School, and to get ready we are also going to have a Public Speaking clinic on

Feb. 8, also at the Strathmore High School with Marlene Palsson.

Our Christmas party will be held at Laser Quest in Calgary on Dec .7. Members need to be there at 5:30 p.m. and the games will begin at 6 p.m.

Also, we will be having a Hoof Care Clinic on Jan. 4, our general meeting day. Chad Lau-sen will be there to teach us about our horses’ hooves!

Our next craft date will be on Jan. 18 and it will be a leather craft.

A reminder to our members, our leaders need your Declaration of Mount papers handed in for our January general meeting.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!

Single Vehicle RolloVeR On Nov. 27, at approxi-

mately 8:40 p.m., the Strath-more RCMP were dispatched to a collision on Highway 24 approximately five kilometers south of the Carseland Ca-nal. The driver of the vehicle and the two passengers were transported to Strathmore Hospital with minor injuries and released the same day.

Alcohol and speed are be-lieved to be factors in this collision. The investigation is continuing and charges are anticipated in this matter.

MaRijuana TRafficking On Dec. 2, the Strathmore

RCMP Crime Reduction Unit located a quantity of Cannabis Marijuana in the possession of a youth from Strathmore. The youth was charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of Marijuana. He is to attend Strathmore Provincial Youth Court on Dec. 21.

ThefTS fRoM VehicleS/bReak and enTeR

In the early morning hours on Dec. 6, members of the Strathmore Detachment of the RCMP responded to a suspi-cious person complaint in the Hamlet of Langdon. In the course of their investigation they located and arrested two young males near Langdon who had broken into a number motor vehicles and stolen sev-eral items from within. These individuals are also believed responsible for gaining entry into a number of garages and stealing items. They got ac-cess to the garages via sto-len garage door openers. The RCMP’s investigation recov-ered a large number of these garage door openers, two GPS systems, flashlights, several sets of car keys, and special-ized/professional tools used specifically for gaining access to locked and secure motor vehicles. The culprits primar-ily targeted vehicles which had been inadvertently left unlocked with valuables inside them. The ongoing investiga-tion led to the identification of a third adult male who was also involved.

Charges of theft, possession of stolen property, possession of break in tools and Break and Enter to commit theft are pending.

The investigation is ongoing and investigators are optimis-tic of identifying the owners of the other recovered items.

People are reminded to en-sure their vehicles are locked and to not leave valuables within.

The busiest retail season of the year has already begun and with an increase in fi-nancial transactions comes an increase in opportunities for fraud artists. This year, keep your holiday shopping joyous by tak-ing a few extra precautions:

Shopping in person:• Even though you will be rushed and

thinking about a thousand things, try to re-main alert to your surroundings.

• When paying with a credit or debit card, never lose sight of your card. Whenever possible, swipe your card yourself rather than giving it to the cashier.

• Always shield your PIN when entering it. Don’t be embarrassed – you’re not insult-ing anyone.

• Do not keep a written record of your bank PIN number(s) or your social insur-ance number in your wallet or hand bag.

• If you suspect anything unusual when using a point-of-sale terminal (pin pad) or an ATM, do not use the machine and report it immediately to the police or the financial institution.

Shopping on-line:• Shop only from your home computer

and equip it with the latest web browser. Using your home computer is much safer than shopping at a terminal in an internet

café or library.• If you plan to buy something, go direct-

ly to a store’s website by manually typing its address into your web browser. Don’t click on links in an e-mail message even if you know who sent it.

• Verify secure connections. When shop-ping on-line, do not enter any financial in-formation if you see a broken-key or open padlock symbol on your Internet browser. This means the transaction is not secure and could be intercepted by a third party. When the key is complete or the padlock is locked, your browser is indicating a secure transaction.

• Consider using a reliable third-party payment company such as PayPal, a credit card with a low credit limit or a single-use payment card.

• Unlike secure order forms on a web site, e-mail messages are not private. Do not send confidential personal or financial in-formation by e-mail.

• When browsing auction sites or un-authorized retail websites, be cautious of drastic sale prices on sought-after designer items and popular electronics. The legiti-mate goods are rarely discounted.

• Monitor your bank and credit card and statements on-line. Electronic statements al-low you to review your purchases and pay-ments as they happen rather than waiting

until the end of the month to review your paper statement. Immediately report any discrepancies to your bank or to the com-pany that issued the credit card.

Other tips:• Promptly remove mail from your mail-

box after delivery and do not leave pieces of mail lying around your residence or of-fice.

• Shred or otherwise destroy pre-ap-proved credit card applications, credit card receipts, bills and any documents contain-ing personal information when they’re no longer needed.

• Do not provide personal information such as your SIN, date of birth, credit card numbers, or PIN over the telephone or via e-mail. There are more secure methods for providing this valuable information when it is legitimately required

• Avoid mail or telephone solicitations disguised as promotions. Criminals involved in this type of scam typically offer you an instant prize or an award for the purpose of obtaining personal information, such as your credit card numbers.

This holiday season, be a Scrooge with your personal information. If, despite your best efforts, you feel you’ve been victimized by a scam or a fraud, you should report it immediately to the police service of juris-diction in your area.

Season’s Thievings: ID fraud and holiday shopping

The 17th annual Tree of Hope, located just outside the Hospi-tal emergency entrance, is now lit up filled with pink and blue bulbs. Pink signifies a Christ-mas greeting and a blue light are considered a memoriam for a lost friend or family member. The Tree of Hope is part of a fundraising effort for the Pallia-tive Care unit. Palliative Care is for people who are in the last stages of an incurable disease providing them with a calm and comfortable environment. Do-nations are being raised to help provide two new reclining chairs to the unit. Last year $4,000 was raised during the fundraising ef-fort. Donations can be dropped of or mailed to hospital admit-ting. envelopes addressed to the hospital are available at all of the churches in Strathmore. Shannon leclair Photo

The local drug coalition, Strathmore Wheatland Addiction Team, SWAT, recently hosted a leadership opportunity for Senior High students. The Strath-more chapter of SWAT has been in existence since the spring of 2007. A number of different organi-zations in Strathmore have members who are in-volved with SWAT, including the RCMP and a town councillor. “Our particular drug coalition is targeting prevention more than anything and we know from research that kids that have a lot….personal assets, like good leadership ability are less likely to mis-use alcohol or use drugs,” said Crystal Wahl, family school liaison worker at Holy Cross Collegiate, HCC, and a SWAT member.

Students from HCC spent a day at a “Youth Lead-ership Journey Workshop” learning leadership skills by working with horses and Lori Thompson, a trained professional at Inner Equine Journeys. A number of students participated in this special event, including Lisa Simenoff, who attends grade 12 at Holy Cross Collegiate.

“I had not been around horses before. I was a bit nervous at first, but you can’t let that be the prime focus, otherwise the horse will sense you are ner-vous,” said Simenoff.

She said once she was able to pet and groom and clean underneath the hoof, she could feel better communication between the horse and herself.

“It was a fantastic feeling when I was able to get the horse to follow me without a rope or reins. This can only be achieved when you have established proper communication with the horse.”

“I learned better communication and leadership skills between myself and the horse; you cannot make the horse follow you or do what you want it to do unless you are communicating one on one,” said Simenoff.

Towards the end of the day, Simenoff said, they had to group into teams of three and get each of the four horses into the four corners. It was more complicated than they had initially thought it would

be, and she said they had to use a lot of communica-tion with each other and the horses. They eventually managed to get three of the four horses into the corners.

“All of the skills that I learned can also be used for communicating with people. I definitely would do this again and would recommend these workshops to others,” said Simenoff.

SWAT members have done surveys in the schools asking youth about their alcohol and drug patterns. They have also held different contests in the schools including a poster contest.

“Anything that increases the kids personal devel-opmental assets, like self confidence, would make them less likely to choose to misuse alcohol or drugs and so we felt that it definitely fit with our mission statement,” said Wahl.

The beginning of December marked the launch of a cam-paign by Byron Smith Ford to collect food for those who may be going without this winter. It is kind of a dual project they are working on: they are gath-ering donations for both the Wheatland foodbank and for the Christmas Hamper Society.

“It is never a good feeling to be hungry,” said Josh Hynes, General Sales Manager at By-ron Smith Ford. “Especially during the holiday season, we want to make sure we sup-port our local charities like the Wheatland County Foodbank, so they can continue to provide much-needed services to those less fortunate.”

Byron Smith Ford has part-

nered with the Wheatland County Foodbank and are host-ing a food and toy drive for the month of December.

“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that people don’t eat toys and realistically the food is probably impor-tant,” said Hynes.

They are also looking at do-nations to help the foodbank with overhead costs. One way they are helping with that is, $50 from every vehicle sold for the month of December will be donated.

“There is no magic behind it. We just want to strengthen our ties with the community a little bit and put it a little bit more on the forefront because obvi-ously we can be an outlet here,” said Hynes.

The staff, Hynes included, are also adding a little elbow

grease in their contribution to the organizations.

“I know I’ll be there (the foodbank) this week, help-ing out, doing what I can. It’s not always about money,” said Hynes.

Donations have already started to pile up at the dealer-ship, which is located at 1040 Westridge Road. For the entire month of December, staff at Byron Smith Ford would like to encourage Wheatland Coun-ty and Strathmore residents to bring non-perishable food items and toys to the dealer-ship. The dealership is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (Monday to Thursday), 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Friday), and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Saturday). Visit http://www.byronsmithford.com/ for direc-tions and contact information of the dealership.

The UFA Bisons hosted a goalie clinic for Strathmore Minor Hockey Players on Dec. 3. UFA Bisons goal-ies George Merik and Devon Fordyce put on the clinic with the help of their goalie coach Damon Umcheid.

“We’ve both been to various goal-ies schools and whatnot and we just (did) drills that we knew,” said Merik. “Our goalie coach helped us out and we just basically split up the kids into pairs … we just went around and showed them things that they were doing right and things that they were doing wrong and just tried to help them.”

It was a two hour-long clinic for peewee and atom goalies in the Strathmore Minor Hockey system.

“We just kind of gave them the ba-

sics on how to stop the puck. That’s where it started, just teaching basic moves and stuff like that,” said Mer-ik.

The third-year Bison has helped out with a few other goalie camps, including the Elite Hockey Develop-ment Camp in the summer. Merik said he had a lot of fun teaching the kids things they may not have known before or showing them the proper techniques.

“Our managers, Wayne Hansen and Neil Glionna, thought it would be a good thing to do and we agreed, so we just put it on,” said Merik. “I think they (the kids) enjoyed it to. I know I enjoyed getting taught by older kids when I was young, so I’m sure they enjoyed it.”

Merik said there might be anoth-er clinic held in January before the playoffs roll around.

Teaching up and coming goalies the ropes

The Wheatland Kings Junior B hock-ey team got off to the starts they wanted when they took on the Banff Bears and the Mountainview Colts this past week-end.

Despite scoring first in both games, the Kings settled for one win, which disappointed head coach Doug Murphy.

“Another split and another one that got away from us,” said the coach refer-ring to the weekend.

The Kings scored just 20 seconds into their home game versus the Banff Bears on Dec. 4, en route to a 6-3 win at the Strathmore Family Centre. However, the following day in Didsbury, not only did the Kings score first, they took a 2-0 lead, before giving up three straight goals in a 4-3 loss.

“We got off to a good start, (then Ty-ler Brandon suffered an injury) and the guys kind of let down after that,” ex-plained Murphy. “We let them back in it – in a stretch of four minutes, they scored three goals. We tried to battle back, but it was too little, too late.”

Lucas Ford scored twice, while Bren-

nan Grasdahl scored once to pace the Kings offence.

On Saturday night, Tom Mikrut scored once and added a pair of helpers, while Lucas Ford and Ross Fox each regis-tered a goal and an assist to lead the way over the Bears. Racey Big Snake, Brandon Neufeld and Hayden Warrack also tallied for the Kings, while Leslie Doore added a pair of helpers in the win.

“We came out really strong, we scored in the first 20 seconds of the game,” said the coach. “The first two or three shifts everyone had, it looked like it was go-ing to be a real blowout. Then the guys kind of went to sleep – it’s sort of the unfortunate thing about playing the lesser teams in the league. Guys don’t think that they have to work as hard and we almost let them back in before we woke up again.”

The Kings will look to improve on their 7-14-0 record this weekend when they host the Okotoks Oilers Dec. 11 (8 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre. After playing their final home game of 2010, the Kings will travel to Medicine Hat on Dec. 12 (2:30 p.m.) to tangle with the Cubs.

The UFA Bisons and Strathmore Minor Hockey hosted a goalie camp for atom and peewee goalies Dec. 3 at the Strathmore Family Centre. Bisons netminders George Merik and Devon Fordyce, along with forward Torrin White and goalie coach Damen Umscheid offered training and advice for the up-and-coming puck-stoppers.

The Strathmore High School, SHS, se-nior girls basketball team was at SAIT on the weekend of Dec. 4-5 for their first tournament and games of the sea-son. There were 32 teams playing at SAIT from all over Alberta and B.C. and SHS played in the Emerald division.

“Our first game was against David Thompson School from Invermere. We won 59-34. Irina Liakhar was named the game all-star,” said coach Dion Ga-landy.

The second game was against Win-ston Churchill from Lethbridge. The girls lost the game 34-66. Stella Lopez was named the all-star of that game.

“Our last game was against Bishop Carroll from Calgary. We won 48-30. Megan Bradley was named the game all-star. As a result, we placed 3rd place in our division,” said Galandy.

The girls were back on the court as of Dec. 6, this time playing in Okotoks. It was a tough game for the team who played against Foothills Composite. They were trailing behind for the first three quarters of the game and made a comeback in the fourth quarter win-ning the game 53-50.

“It was a gutsy come from behind win for the girls,” said Galandy.

The Spartans will be playing again this weekend, this time on their home court when they host the Christmas Classic Tournament Dec. 10-11.

Win one, lose one.Lose one, win one.It’s a trend the UFA Bisons have had

for the past five weeks, including this past weekend’s trip to the Edmonton area.

After collecting a 6-2 win over the K of C Pats on Dec. 4, the Bisons took too many costly penalties in a 5-2 loss to the St. Albert Sports Raiders the fol-lowing day.

“These split weekend are definitely starting to hurt us,” said goaltender George Merik. “At the start of the sea-son it seemed like we’d win, win, win – and then have a stinker. Now it seems like we win – have a stinker, win – have a stinker.

“It’s definitely disappointing. It think everyone is fed up with it.”

Mason Burr had two goals and an as-sist, while Kirby Ruzesky record three assists in the win over the Pats. Connor Chartier and Simon Philp each added a goal and an assist, while Sam Johnson and Joshua Betinol each scored once.

After taking a 2-0 lead, the Bisons surrendered two quick goals, ending the first period tied at two. The Bisons scored a power play goal in the second period before bursting out for three goals in the final frame.

On Sunday, Darian Henry opened the scoring with a power play goal 7:27 into the first period, before the Raid-ers scored five unanswered goals. Tor-

rin White rounded out the scoring with a powerplay goal with 9:46 left in the game.

“Everybody came to play on Saturday – everyone was focused on what we had to do,” said Merik. “On Sunday, we gave up those two (first period) goals early and we tried to battle back there in the second, but we took a couple of stupid penalties and they took advan-tage of it.

“The penalties definitely hurts us – we took them at the wrong time.”

After losing his first game of the sea-son Nov. 6, a 9-2 drubbing at the hands of the Red Deer Rebels – in which he gave up five goals, Merik is undefeated in his last three starts.

Despite having a tough 3.81 goals against average and .888 save percent-age, he boasts an impressive 6-1-1 re-cord on the season.

According to the Rockyford native, his personal game is coming around.

“I’m starting to feel good,” said Mer-ik. “I had a bit of a rough patch there … but I feel like I’m getting into a groove, which is good coming into the Mac’s (Midget Hockey Tournament).”

The Bisons are hoping to improve on their 11-5-4 record, when they host a pair of North Division opponents this weekend.

The team will host the CAC Gregg Distributors on Dec. 11 (5:30 p.m.) at the Strathmore Family Centre, before once again tangling with the K of C Pats on Sunday afternoon. Game time is 2 p.m.

Bisons sick of the split


The annual Allstar Volleyball games took place at the Strathmore High School, SHS, gym on Dec. 1. The South Central Zone Allstar game consists of players from Canmore, Okotoks, Airdrie and Olds. The top Grade 12 players in the zone are invited to play in the Allstar game. There were four Grade 12 girls who were split between the grey and black teams, mikayla Reinhardt and irena Liakhar were on the Black Team and Shelby Lausen and Liz Steele played on the Grey Team. There wasn’t enough interest for a boys team this year and JV girls coach Jerry Flaws said the zone was short on senior boys teams this year. The Grey team won in the fifth set by a score of 15-12. There wasn’t a trophy or any awards given to the top team, just bragging rights said Flaws. Shannon LeClair Photos

Tami LemoineStrathmore Electric Ice

The U14A Electric Ice finally played the South Calgary Blitz on Saturday. This was the only team they had not played this season and the team was eager to see how they would fare against the number two team in the league. Determined to put into prac-tice what they had worked on earlier in the week, the girls came out hard and quickly dominated the play. The Ice was first on the scoreboard with an incredible shot by Shae Lane, set up by Darcie Weir. Taylor Shpyth made it a 2-0 game but the Blitz were finally able to get one by our Brooke McK-enzie. Rhiece Cordes scored, what was to be the first of three goals for her, near the end of the first period. Cal-gary started the second period with a power play and was able to make good use of it, scoring a goal. That seemed to fire them up as they scored again to tie the game at 3-3. Calgary fans were celebrating another goal, but within seconds of pulling ahead for the first time, Taylor Shpyth tied the game. Not wasting any time Rhiece Cordes scored again. With just over a minute to play, Calgary pulled their goalie and Rhiece Cordes was able to capitalize. The game

seemed over but following a brief time out, the Blitz attacked with fury. They were able to score one goal but were denied another by Strathmore’s out-standing defense. Final score was 6-5 Strathmore.

The Electric Ice played Sunday in Strathmore, against their zone two ri-vals, the Airdrie Sting. It was obvious that Airdrie had come to play and they were first on the scoreboard. It took the Ice a while to get organized but once they did they were able to tie the game near the end of the first. Airdrie scored a power play goal but Strathmore was able to reciprocate and the first period ended 2-2. The Ice obviously listened to what their coaches had to say in the break because they came out on fire and scored five goals, while only allow-ing one from Airdrie. Final score 7-3 for Strathmore. Goals were scored by Payge Bratt, Gabi LeMoine, Katie Edel-mann, Morgan Elder and Taylor Shpyth with three. All goals were assisted by Rhiece Cordes, Shae Lane, Karly Lar-son, Hannah Olson, and Darcie Weir. Once again Brooke McKenzie kept the fans cheering with her saves.

If you would rather watch the Elec-tric Ice than read about them, their next game is Saturday, Dec. 11 at 2 p.m. in Strathmore.

The Strathmore Ice Creams showed up at the arena to play on Saturday when the Rockyford Ringers came to town. After a pre-vious weekend off, excitement in the dressing room was over-whelming and all were excited to show off their freshly practice skills from Tuesday. The practice paid off and the excitement last-ed throughout the game and the girls took home a win with a score of 7-5. Although the goals were scored by Daylen Wathen (3), Abby Hilton (2), Cayley Boschee (1), Ainsley Olson (1), it does not indicate the supreme team work displayed on the ice. With McK-enna Blades in the net, and the offensive/defensive teams strong, Brooklyn Reinhart, Meghan Mun-chrath, Payton Jensen, Jaden Tash-likowich, Jaidyn Eitzen, Emily Bai-lie, Shelby Lane, Abbey Bratt were the sound support system to en-sure the win.

Next week is our team Christ-mas gathering and a game on Sun-day morning in Strathmore at 9:15 a.m. Come out and watch the fun.

BATEMAN, Leslie JamesAug. 24, 1943 - Dec. 4, 2010

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leslie

Bateman of Strathmore, at the age of 67 years after a short battle with cancer. Les was born in High River, and was raised in the Royalties until 1957, at which time the family moved to Black Diamond. Les had a few different jobs when he left school but his career started in 1964 when he moved to Calgary and went to work with the Canadian Pacific Railway as an Ice Picker, West End Verifier, Clerk, and a Yardmaster until retirement in 2001. Les met and married his wife Karen in 1970 and lived in Calgary. In 1978 they purchased their home in Strathmore, where he spent the remainder of his life. Les was pre-deceased by his wife of 37 years Karen Bateman (nee Tsumagari) in December 2007, sister Elsie Chisholm in April 2002, mother Jennie Bateman (nee Adams) in December 1979, and father William Bateman in March 1976. Les will be remembered by his only daughter Jennifer (Paul) Eckenswiller, siblings Charles Bateman, Irene Bradley, Ronald Bateman, Marie Walker, Edna Wick, Gordon Bateman (Myrna Riches), Jean Styler, Donna (Dave) Torrance, Dorothy Bateman (Ron Jones), Carolyn (Ingemar) Bjornson, Wayne (Leanne) Bateman, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends. Les will always be remembered as a kind hearted person; a real teddy bear who was willing to help anyone. His best quality was his sense of humour that you learned to love. Nothing was ever too serious. Memorial services will be held on Friday, December 10, 2010 at Wheatland Funeral Chapel at 2:00 p.m. Inurnment Strathmore Cemetery. To send condolences, please visit www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca. WHEATLAND FUNERAL HOME LTD. (Strathmore) in care of arrangements. 403-934-5666.
