Thousands of outraged Alberta farmers are ock-ing to town hall meetings across the province andthe steps of the legislature, for a chance to have their

voices heard against a rushed bill that seeks to sub- ject all farming operations to a one-size-ts-all solu-tion.

The Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Work-ers Act would demand ranches and farmers to followhealth and safety regulations, which includes the op-portunity for paid workers to join a union, negotiate

wages and benets, and require operations to protecttheir employees under the Workers CompensationBoard – a requirement many local small farming op-erations say would put them out of business.

The legislation also allows Occupational Health andSafety to inspect Alberta farms and ranches and hasmany farmers worried about their day-to-day opera-tions. Alberta farmers argue a small farming operationshould not be treated the same as a large factory.

“With the new standards they want in place, WCBon top of OHS and courses they want you to take,I couldn’t afford it,” said small business owner KimBetournay, who owns Hoof Prints, a children’s pet-ting zoo.

“To put out that cost, I would never recoup it. Notto mention the insurance I have to pay already to pro-tect myself. That actual insurance that I pay covers memore than WCB ever would. I don’t think it’s viablenancially. I believe it infringes on our civil rights.

They try to tell us how to run our families and I don’tthink that’s right.”

Alberta, which is the last province in Canada who would adopt such legislation, fell victim to the uproar, when the NDP government proposed the legislation without consulting the farming and ranching commu-nity for input and feedback. When Strathmore-BrooksMLA Derek Fildebrandt travelled to Edmonton forQuestion Period, he joined a thousand farmers on thesteps of the legislature protesting the bill. He addedthat the Wildrose Alliance Party asked nearly 20 ques-tions pertaining to Bill 6 and received unsatisfactoryresponses.

“I’m not against some changes here, what I’magainst is not asking farmers for their opinion on thisfarm bill,” said Fildebrandt.

“I’m against treating multi-generational family farmsthe exact same as a massive assembly-line factory.

What they are doing here will allow government OHSemployees to go onto family farm yards and homes

without any warning and conduct safety inspectionsand even property seizures. They will treat the farmhouse the same as a factory, because it does not makeany distinction.”

Actions surrounding the fate of a105-year-old historical building are ata standstill, with an offer accepted onthe land that requires the removal of thestructure, which in turn results in lossof funding.

The Western and District Historical So-ciety purchased the St. Michaels and All

Angels Anglican Church earlier this yearfor a mere $1, after the congregation wasfacing $60,000 in environmental studies,remediation, and air monitoring. Duringan earlier congregational meeting, it wasdecided that a new building and a newspace would be sought and the formerspace be put up for sale. The Westernand District Historical Society welcomed

the offer to restore the building for theirown purpose and originally planned onmoving the building to a remote loca-

tion, and then planned on moving it to asection of Lambert Park, which was met

with hostility by surrounding residents.Upon being informed that moving the

building may cause it to lose most if notall of its historical value with the provin-cial government, which would translateinto lost funds to restore the building,the society is now hoping to keep thestructure on is original site and cometo an agreement with the new ownerof the six lots, whose offer has been ac-cepted.

“On behalf of the congregation, theold building was offered to the histori-cal society for $1,” said Pastor and PriestBryan Beveridge. “On at least three occa-sions I had conversations with membersof the historical society and that verbaloffer was accepted in all cases in fact

they were grateful for what they calledour generous offer. The removal of theold church building was and is crucial

With Christmas fast approaching and in the wakeof last year’s overwhelming success, the StrathmoreMunicipal Library is gearing up for another week ofexciting programs that cater to the town’s youngestresidents and seek to bring back some fan favourites.

The introduction of some new initiatives last yearproved popular among many residents, resulting in alarge turnout that sometimes left staff scrambling. This

year, however, the staff is expecting to expand the ex-perience in a more structured way.

“It’s going to be bright and happy and exciting and we’re going to pack the library tight,” said Carmen Eri-son, the assistant to the director of library services.

“Bigger and better than las t year, more exciting, butmore controlled. We wanted to do this because weknow that the kids are off school between Christmasand New Year, and the library is typically closed be-

tween that time. This is our last blowout before theend of the year.”

Back by popular demand, the library will be featur-ing Ginger All the Way, which made its debut last year.

As 50 participants showed up last year, the program will run in three separate sessions this year, each ac-commodating 15 participants. While the program wasfree last year, it left a sizable hole in the budget that

now means participants will pay a $5 fee. However, thelibrary provides all supplies, including the gingerbreadtrain, icing and the candy.

“Last year was our rst time running this program,”said Erison. “We couldn’t have anticipated that big of aresponse, so this year we’re looking to do it a little bitmore smarter and a littl e bit more organized. We thinkit’s going to be a spectacular event.”

The library is also bringing back the Holiday Make-shop program, which is based on Makerspaces. Chil-dren will be provided with numerous crafts and createChristmas gifts or items. This program is free to attend

and requires no registration. Then on Dec. 23, two family Christmas lms will be

showcased during Merry and Bright Movies. The event will offer complimentary hot chocolate and popcornand is free for all ages. For more details and movietitles visit www.strathmorelibrary.ca or visit the Strath-more Municipal Library Facebook page.

The l ibrary asks that children under the age of six

be accompanied by an adult. Registration for Gingerall the Way will run from Dec. 1-15 with 45 spots avail-able. The event on Dec. 21 has sessions scheduledfrom 11 a.m. until noon, 1 p.m. until 2 p.m., and 3 p.m.until 4 p.m. Holiday Makeshop will take place on Dec.22 from 1-3, no registration necessary and free to at-tend. On Dec. 23, from 10:30 a.m. to noon the Merryand Bright Movies event will feature a family movierated G, and in the afternoon from 1 p.m until 2:30p.m. offer a movie rated PG.

The library will be closed for Christmas break fromDec. 24 until Jan. 4.

Dare to Dream Horse Rescue, locat-ed in Dalemead, relies entirely on themanpower of nearly 150 volunteers. Asa result, the operation offers childrenan opportunity to learn about horses,provides university students with thehours around large animals requiredto get into veterinary school, and evenoffers a special horse therapy programfor sexually abused and exploited girls.However, if Bill 6 is implemented earlynext year, Dare to Dream Horse Res-cue, much like most rescues, won’t beable to continue to provide their ser-

vices.“None of us horse rescues could stay

open because all of us are in the same boat, and the horses that we wouldnormally be able to save would haveto go to slaughter because there is no-

where else for them to go,” said BrendaFehr, co-owner of Dare to Dream HorseRescue.

“A lot of what I’m seeing, is that theydon’t even understand how farms work,and what safety things are in place.

They’re grouping it all in one thing andexpecting everyone to abide by thoserules and those rules don’t necessarilyapply to everything. In all honesty, anyfarm and horse rescue, safety is numberone concern. We have very strict ruleshere but they could be putting rules on

us that are absolutely ridiculous.”

Fehr added that while the rescue hasspecial liability coverage for volunteersand horse owners through their insur-ance company, they would be unable toafford workers’ compensation coverageor meet the OHS standards.

According to Fildebrandt, the NDP isnot holding a town hall meeting in theStrathmore-Brooks constituency, andafter his phone rang off the hook forthe past week, he organized a town hallmeeting in Bassano to hear farmer’ andranchers’ concerns regarding the bill –some issues which include not allow-ing your children to participate in dailychores.

“We all support farm safety and Ipersonally support some update of the

laws, but nobody cares more aboutfarm safety than the moms and dads ofrural Alberta,” he said. “This is a ghtthat we don’t want, but we will take

very seriously until the government lis-tens. You don’t introduce an ominouspiece of legislature without talking tothe people that it affects rst. The NDPhave underestimated rural Alberta andhave lit a prairie re.”

The Wildrose Alliance Party is ask-ing the government to send the bill toa committee and consult with farmers.

The town hall meeting is taking placeon Dec. 5, at the Bassano School Gym-nasium at 2 p.m.

Farmers ght back to protect livelihood

to our moving forward as a congrega-tion. Under the terms of our current saleagreement the church building must beremoved.”

The society was the recipient of a$5,000 prize earlier this year at the sec-ond annual Let’s Make a Pitch event toaid in moving the church off its currentlocation. As the building requires ex-tensive repairs, the society is hoping to

work with the buyer and the congrega-tion and still be a candidate for provin-cial restoration funding.

“In talking to the province, oncea historic building is moved from itsoriginal site, it loses most if not all of

its historic signicance,” said BruceKlaiber with WDHS. “To us, the impor-tance of that was we would no longerqualify for provincial restoration grantsor at least we wouldn’t qualify for near-ly the signicant amount that we wouldif the building remained on its originalsite. So our focus then turned from oneof moving the building to leaving the

building where it is and purchasing itthere.”

Rev. Beveridge assured council duringthe regular council meeting on Nov. 17that correspondence with the buyer has

been established and will be brought tothe next congregational meeting.

DEREK FILDEBRANDT

Strathmore-Brooks MLA

The NDP government recently introduced Bill6, dealing with safety and labour issues on farms.

The bill has in a very short period of time attract-ed considerable attention from concerned farmersand ranchers.

My ofces in Strathmore, Brooks and Edmon-ton have been ooded by hundreds of calls ande-mails from farmers and ranchers who have not

been consulted about the bill. My Facebook pagehas had dozens and dozens of posts on it frompeople in Wheatland County and Newell Countytrying to make their voices heard, but who are be-ing ignored by the government as they try to ramBill 6 through the legislature without consultingthem rst.

On the surface, Bill 6 tries to update our farmsafety regulations – something that is welcome,especially for larger operations – but does so in

a way entirely ignorant of agriculture, rural tradi-tions and the reality of the family farm. It amendsor repeals no less than seven codes, acts, and reg-ulations, and represents a basic change to howfarmers are allowed to do business.

Nobody objects to farm safety – least of all themen and women who run them – but Bill 6 hasconsequences that go well beyond safety.

The bill removes the distinction between fam-ily farms and other businesses. It treats a smallfamily farm the same as a large corporate-ownedfarm, or even a factory assembly line. This meansthat farmers must follow government guidelines

before they allow their children to do any workon the farms or in their homes. It also means thatgovernment OHS inspectors will be able to enterfarmyards and homes without notice, and searchand seize property without a warrant.

The bill also deals with labour issues, allowingfor the unionization of farms without the owner’sconsent, as if a farm were a large factory. The ag-riculture minister’s background as a paid unionorganizer raises serious questions about the realintent of Bill 6.

The addition of mandatory WCB coverage is ef-fectively a 2-3 per cent tax on most payrolls. These

changes come on top of a new, $3 billion carbontax, which is sure to have a negative effect onfarmers who will pay more, especially to get prod-ucts to market.

The worst part however, is that these changesare being rammed through the legislature with-out consulting farmers rst. A token show is beingmade of public consultations after Bill 6 was writ-ten and tabled in the legislature.

These ‘town halls’ are more ‘town-tells,’ where bureaucrats have been sent to explain the legisla-tion to farmers and ranchers, but not to solicit realfeedback from them about what the legislationshould actually look like. Further, only a hand-ful of these ‘town halls’ are being held across theentire province, with seating limited far below thedemand to attend them.

Here in Strathmore-Brooks, my phones have been ringing off the wall from farmers and ranch-ers who just want to be listened to and consulted,

but the NDP has refused to hold a single session

in our constituency despite being one of the mostagriculture-intensive constituencies in Canada. As such, I’ve booked the Bassano School Gym-

nasium (240, 6th Ave, Bassano) for Saturday, Dec.5 at 2 p.m. for an emergency Bill 6 town hall meet-ing. I encourage all farmers, ranchers and otherconstituents affected by Bill 6 to come out and tellme what you want me to advocate for in Edmon-ton. This is your chance to gather together and tellme what parts of Bill 6 are reasonable and accept-able, and what parts need to be improved.

The Wildrose Opposition represents most ofrural Alberta, and a large number of our caucusmembers are farmers and ranchers. We get rural

Alberta. That’s why we haven’t done the easy thingand rubber-stamped this bill despite its near uni-

versal endorsement from provincial media outletsand labour union groups when it was introduced.

You sent me to the legislature to represent youto Edmonton, and not Edmonton to you. To dothat effectively, please join me on Dec. 5 in Bassa-no and tell me what message I should carry back

with me.(Derek Fildebrandt is MLA for Strathmore-

Brooks, the Wildrose Shadow Minister of Financeand Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.)

JESUS THE SAVIORThere was a former drunkardwho got converted to Christi-anity. He believed in Jesus andreformed his life. One day anotherman met him and asked him, “Iheard that you got converted toChristianity.“You know anything about

Jesus?” The drunkard said, “Notmuch.”“Do you know where he wasborn?” The drunkard replied, “Nosir, I don’t know.”“Do you know how many para-bles he preached?”The drunkard again replied, “No.”“Do you know how many mira-cles he worked?”The drunkard again expressed hisignorance.“Do you know, at least, how manygospels are there in the Bible?”The drunkard said, “I don’t know.”Then the man said, “For being anew convert, you know nothingabout Jesus. It is useless.”Then the drunkard said, “Sir, I am

really sorry that I am ignorant ofmany things about Jesus. I amashamed of it, but one thing I amsure. Six months back I was agreat sinner. I was a drunkard.My family was in shambles. Mywife and children used to dread

me coming home in the evening.But after I believed in Jesusand accepted Him as my SaviorI reformed my life and now myfamily is very happy, prosperousand peaceful.”We may not know m any thingsabout Jesus. People spend theirentire lives to study about Jesus.

We may not be able to do that.We may not be as intelligentas them. It does not matter. Weneed not know everything aboutJesus. But if we know one thingit is enough for us. That we aresinners and Jesus is our Savior.For the very name: Jesus meansa savior. He came to save us fromour sins.No man’s words or deeds aresufciently redemptive, exceptJesus Christ’s. We are savedby Jesus and His cross, we aresaved by Jesus and His blood.The name of Jesus is preciousand His works are sufciently andsuper abundantly redemptive. St.Paul said, “The name of Jesus

is above every other name andevery tongue should confess thatJesus Christ is Lord (Phil 2: 9,11).”

with a new name – one that we feel reects the fact that we cover not only the Townof Strathmore but the sur-rounding villages and ruralarea.

We are an organization thatruns strictly on volunteers,

along with help from the Wheatland and the Strath-more FCSS ofces.

We have fabulous volun-teers who are busy screening,picking up donations fromschools, etc., emptying bins,

sorting toys and personalitems, and working with fooddonations.

So far this season dona-tions are down, especiallyfood, and applicants are up.

We are all aware of the down-turn in our economy. It is af-fecting all of us. There aremany organizations askingfor donations and we hope

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor I’m 21 years old and I will

be the fourth generation torun our mixed grain and cattlefamily farm, located south ofDrumheller near Dalum. I’m

very concerned over Bill 6. As a family farm, we rely on

everyone in our family to helpout on a daily basis, and espe-cially during the busy seasons.Not only do we help our own

family out, but we also helpother members of the com-munity when times get toughor the weather is changing. I

believe that Bill 6 would notonly drastically change thedaily operations of the fam-ily farm, but it would also al-

ter the make-up of all the tinycommunities across Albertathat are brought togetherand remain strong because

Think about the future of farms

To the Editor Most people are aware of the well publicized ter-

rorist attack that killed over 100 ordinary people inParis on Nov. 13.

I contend that a much larger terrorist attack is hap-pened in Paris on Nov. 30 that has the potential to killor create misery for most of the residents of planetearth.

The meeting of over 150 world leaders for the Glob-al Climate Conference will result in nothing more thanonerous taxation and augmented government controlthat historically has caused far more death and de-struction than any possible change that human ac-tions are responsible.

If you are skeptical of my statement, then simplylook at the recent actions of Ms. Notley and her mer ry

band of NDP’ers with their new three billion dollars worth of taxation!

Turn off your TV’s people! All the tactics of propa-ganda are at hard work in our society and it is to ourdetriment! The press has virtually ignored or shouteddown those who try to provide balance to the issue.For a little different perspective on the issue I wouldask you to go to youtube and listen to presentations

by none other than one of Greenpeace’s founders, Dr.Patrick Moore or career climatologists like Dr. TimBall. Better yet, go outside your home and look at the

vastness that surrounds you and ponder the idea that we could warm all of this up if we just let our cars

idle. Send all the hate mail you want, but I believethat we have lost the ability to grasp just how small

we really are in the Grand Scheme of Things!No matter what government we have had, one thing

is constant and that is decits and spending! Decitsare postponed taxation and governments love to ndnew ways to pillage the citizenry and what better waythan the fear of something that is unprovable? His-tory tells me that the growth of government poweris to be feared far more than whatever excuse it con-

jures up to motivate people to fear. Benjamin Franklinonce posited that “Those who would give up essentialliberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserveneither liberty nor safety.”

I fear for our grandchildren! I leave you with aquote:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeatingit, people will eventually come to believe it. The liecan be maintained only for such time as the State canshield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes

vitally important for the State to use all of its powersto repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy ofthe lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatestenemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels (PropogandaMinister)

Grant Klaiber,Strathmore

Global Climate Conference will create misery

of farming. These communities were brought to existence by ourfarming ancestors and it would beshame to see them ripped apart

by our government. While I know rst-hand that

farms are not the safest places, Idon’t believe that OHS and WCB

will make a difference on the safepractices already in place acrossfarms today. As a child growingup on the farm, I learned rst-hand the daily operations, as wellas dangers, by experiencing them;not by reading about them in a

book, or on a computer screen.I learned how to provide care

and nurture growing and sickanimals from a very young age. I

learned how to maintain and service machinery by following myfather and grandfather aroundduring seeding and harvest.

I learned what the dangers werein every situation, and that haskept me safe to this day. I wantmy children to experience grow-

ing up and learning on the farm just as I did. I do not want them tohave to stay in the house becausethe government said that riding inthe tractor was dangerous or thatriding on an old dependable horsemight get them hurt. The fact isthat there are dangers everywhere

you look in our daily lives ... beit riding in a vehicle, crossing thestreet, or ying in an airplane. I

do not believe, however, that gov-ernment regulation on the farm

will keep us safe.In my opinion, Bill 6 is going

to tear the agricultural industry of Alberta apart. Farming and ranch-ing is hard enough on an “aver-age” day, never mind when the

government gets involved to addmore paperwork, more headache,and more stress. I encourage youto think about the future. The fu-ture of our province, the future ofour family farms and ranches, andthe future of our economy.

Regards, Kirsten Pallesen

Every donation of food, gifts or cashenables us to help local people havea wonderful Christmas, for children toreceive gifts and to put food on theirtable.

9/28

To the Editor I just nished a phone call with the Alberta govern-

ment pertaining to Bill 6. I was motivated to call afterlearning about the Town Hall Session in Okotoks on

Wednesday, Dec. 2. Preregistration was encouraged;however, all spaces have already been booked. Twohundred to three hundred spaces were made for Farm-ers, Ranchers and their workers in the Calgary area.Many more people than that are impacted by this pro-posed legislation in this area.

I contacted Minister Lori Sigurdsson’s ofce (780-638-9400) indicating my concerns and expressing theneed for the process to be slowed down, the need formore consultation, etc. In the follow-up conversation, Ireceived the best information to date on the proposedlegislation. The communication, information availableand process thus far is messed up leading to a lot offrenzied, partially informed reaction in social mediaand print media. We are uninformed because the in-formation we need to make an informed decision isnot available.

What I learned:• If the Bill passes on Jan 1, the exemption for

Farms, Ranches & Farm Workers is lifted for OHS and WCB. Also, in the spring 2016: Employment StandardsCode will be amended along with Labour Relations

Code amended.• Specic legislation has not been drafted (this is why letters, e-mails & phone calls need to be made toinform those that draft the details know what is impor-tant to farmers, ranchers and their workers and why).

• Special sections are included in current legislation(e.g. Mining & Construction).

• This type of a special section still needs to be writ-ten for Farms, Ranches & Farm Workers. The currentplan is to have this in place by Spring 2017 (rememberplans can change).

• A consultation process is to be put in place acrossthe province to create the Alberta answer. We are ap-parently the last province to address this Health &Safety concerns.

• The current government put forward what the pre- vious government had in their plans perhaps without verifying that the consultation process was complete.

I heard that consultations may have just taken place with big business. Not really the people impacted asdramatically by the proposed legislation.

• Labour Minister Lori Sigurdsson & the civil ser- vants in her Ministry do want to hear from about ourconcerns.

• Some things are out of order (stuff that happens when you are learning the ropes); however, there asI understand it there is still time and opportunity toinuence how this legislation is shaped.

My suggestions:1) Please phone to get your name on a list, to ex-

press your concerns and be part of the process.2) Contact the Premier and the Minister’s Ofces by

letter, e-mail or phone call indicating your disappoint-ment in the process and the communication thus far.

3) Remember, your involvement doesn’t end with your vote. Politicians don’t know what we are thinkingunless we advise them.

I was told they are getting a number of calls. Nowis an important time to help change a direction thatcould dramatically impact rural family lives. If you areconcerned, use your voice with the people that canmake a difference and be a part of the solution.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor To say that I’m distressed by

what is happening regarding theStrathmore building that was pre-

viously an Anglican church is anunderstatement.

I voted in the meeting in whichthe congregation accepted that

keeping the church buildingfunctional was not a good useof church resources. The people

with long years of relation to thechurch building voted unanimous -ly to give up the church building.

Was there support for having the building preserved and happiness when the Historic Society wantedthe building for their historic area?

Yes.However, is the Historic Society

and Strathmore Council acting inthe best interest of anybody by get-ting a historic designation put onthe church building in its currentlocation? Preserving the church

building where it is follows fromrejection of other options and alsofrom recognizing that the HistoricSociety may be able to get provin-cial money by in situ preservation.

I’m reacting having credentialsand experience. My PHD is fromCornell with a minor in urban andregional planning. The important

part of my experience comes fromover 20 years with Parks Canada asthe person responsible for oversee-ing socio-economic considerationsregarding proposals to spend tax-payer money (see my resume andan extended version of this docu-ment at http://auctorresearch.net).

At Parks Canada, I repeatedlysaw proponents for spending pub-lic money argue in general terms.Some actions occurred and I sawnegative impacts of ill planed ac-tions. Social impact on the lo-cal residents and on Strathmoredowntown needs to be rigorouslyconsidered prior to action on insitu preservation of the Anglicanchurch building. Strathmore canend up living with and paying fora bad decision being made.

Spending money on the assump-tion that good impacts will occur

when important ones won’t and bad impacts will occur is bad so-cial and economic planning. Mak-ing the church building useful atits present location will likely costat least $200,000, probably a lotmore.

Maintaining and operating it inperpetuity, that’s what historic des-ignation would imply, is not free.Might use of the building have a

payback? Yes, but what shouldthe town allow to be done in apreserved church building thatis “hidden away” off main down-town roads back behind the Le-gion? Moving the building to theNW corner across from the Le-gion might do something good for

downtown. However, careful anal- ysis is needed to know if such amove has benets worth the cost?

If I were advising the town re-garding preserving the Anglicanchurch building, I’d certainly not

be advising council to ask/demandthat the purchaser of the property,the seller and the Historic Societynegotiate about in situ preserva-tion. Let’s be clear. The idea thatkeeping the church building in situcontributes to helping preservedowntown Strathmore is at bestmisguided. What support existsfor in situ preservation will almostcertainly dissolve if Strathmoretaxpayers get a clear idea of costsand benets.

Given what I’ve stated above, you may be surprised to know thatI’d like to see the Anglican church

building preserved. My caveat isthat a plan for keeping the buildingmakes economic and social sense.

The Historic Society, or some other

Preservation of the Strathmore building that was previously an Anglican churchorganization, needs to make acase for having the building atsome location in Strathmore

being worth the cost of havingthere. I do not believe a soundsocio-economic case can bemade for in situ preservation.In this regard, part of the cost

is any money obtained fromthe province. If preserving the building is not worth Strath-more paying, preserving is not

worth Alberta’s or Canada’staxpayers picking up the tab.

• I’m not using “Church” because the Anglican church

building has been decommis-sioned. The building is not an

Anglican Church.• I started this document as

something to go to a Strath-more paper. What is written isnot authorized or approved bythe Anglican priest or Church

Council. This document ex-presses the thoughts and feelsof the author and should not

be construed as presenting the views of any other person.

JUSTIN SEWARDTimes Reporter

Aspen Crossing dedicatedthe inaugural Alberta Rideof the Polar Express to can-cer patient Jace Hurum and53 other kids who have ei-ther survived or battling thedisease to lift their spirits by

boarding the magical train. The kids and their families

had a chance to experience Aspen Crossing staff mem-

bers and actors re-enact the Warner Bros movie, whileenjoying hot chocolate andcookies on the trek to theNorth Pole – and at the endof the line, Santa climbedaboard.

Hurum was diagnosed withcrangiopharyngioma, a braintumour of the pituitary gland,around Christmas last year.For his father Justin, there

was nothing more that he andhis wife Jody wanted than tosee their son enjoy the holi-day festivities this year.

“It’s a wonderful experi-ence,” he said. “They put on

a great show here. The boysenjoyed it big time and it’sa great way for us to startour Christmas this year afterChristmas last year.”

Justin and Jody got in touch with Sick Kids and everything went according to plan.

They have seen improve-ment in Jace’s progress andtake it day-by-day without

worrying about the little ob-stacles.

Kids Cancer Centre Com-munications Manager, GailCorbett, was astounded bythe turn out and the job As-pen Crossing did in lifting theholiday spirits of children af-fected by cancer.

“I think for these kids thathave been through so much,to be able to have a littlepiece of magic, I think it’s ev-erything to lift their spirits,”said Corbett. “To give thema little taste of normal child-hood, which is one of thethings that Kids Cancer Caretries to do is give families thechance to have a commu-nity where they can be witheach other and support eachother. But also just to go outand have some fun becausethey’re not having a lot of fun

while on treatment and theyneed a break sometimes.”

Aspen Crossing owner Ja-son Thornhill was touched asthe night went along.

“We think that probablymost of these kids hadn’t

been on a train,” said Thorn-hill. “It was a great opportu-nity for everybody and it wasnice for us to be a part of itand getting the recognitionout of it, it’s nice. And to seeall those smiling faces, it hitsthe heart strings.”

He added that an event likethis could take place annu-ally.

The Strathmore Spartans senior boys volleyball team ended off what was astrong season, earning the bronze med-al in straight sets (25-16, 25-20) over theLouis St. Laurent Barons in what was a

very tough provincial tournament last week in Grande Prairie.

“We had to go in prepared to com-pete for every point,” said head coachCole Hintz. “The teams we were playing

were just that much better compared tosome of the tournaments we’ve seenthis year. It was an exhausting journeyall weekend long.”

He said that every match they played,the team prepared to be mentally fo-cused and made the right adjustmentsto what the other teams were doing totry and limit some of their strengths.

Hintz enjoyed seeing the work the boys put in the last three years togetherpaying off in building the program tocompeting at a provincial level.

“Some of these guys, it wasn’t just acome in and work for one year kind

of thing,” said Hintz. “It’s somethingthey put in the time in for the last three

years. They always had the desire andability to work hard. As they playedmore and more together as time wenton they became better volleyball play-ers.

“We had a lot of really good athletes who relatively had limited volleyballexperience than some of these otherplayers.”

Graduating left side Matthew Coolsaid the team opened up the tourna-ment with a poor performance buttheir ability to rally back and take thirdplace was the thing he was most happyabout.

“To experience it with our team was just great,” he said. “We gelled more,had better communication and justplayed together as a unit better.

“We had better setting by our setterDion and our passing was pretty good.

Just an overall good performance.”He added that to cap off his Strath-

more High School athletics career witha medal in his favourite sport wasamazing.


The CFR Bisons picked up crucialearly season interdivisional victo-ries over some skilled teams in theCalgary NWCAA Flames and theCalgary Buffaloes by identical 4-2this past weekend at the StrathmoreFamily Centre.

“We laid it out as the biggest week-end for us as far as where we arein the standings,” said Bisons headcoach Sandy Henry. “And how muchit would get us some security in thestandings as far as moving up a little

bit. I think the boys responded real well. Our effort level was outstand-

ing every game. We just don’t backdown from anything anymore, wecome out and go at it.”

Henry said what made the differ-ence in both wins was the consis-tent starts the team has been hav-ing right out of the gate and gettingtheir game plan down early in thecontests.

“I thought we took it to both teamsright off face off number one, andshowed them that we’re going to behard to play against,” said Henry.“We had 10 real good minutes in therst period to start with today (Sun-day versus the Flames). I thoughtthey gained a little bit of momentum

maybe through the last 10 minutes.“Then I thought in the second we

got going again. We’re getting closeto that 60 minute effort every nightand that gives us a chance to winevery night.”

The Bisons had a lot of puck pos-session in the game against theFlames, which Henry thought was astrong point in knocking off the di-

vision leader.“We had the puck more than they

did,” he said. “When you have thepuck, their guys are ineffective. Ithought our defense gapped up well.

We didn’t let too much pressure getdeep in our zone. As a team I think

we locked up the middle of the ice

in our zone pretty good. The thirdpart of that was our goaltender wasoutstanding.”

Zach Cox, Gary Haden, Quaid Mc-Bean and Kyle Gordon scored in the

win over the Buffaloes.Gordon notched two goals, while

Tanner Foster and Matthew Daviesscored one each in the victory overthe Flames.

The Bisons – who currently is inthird place in the South Division –

will be back on home ice on Dec. 5 when they host the Leduc Oil Kingsat 5:15 p.m., before taking on theMLAC Beverly Optimists on Dec. 6at 2 p.m.
