Answers to all questions will appear on the

website on the Funeral FAQ Page.

Q: What factors affect the price

of a casket?

There are three main types of caskets: metal,

wood, and cloth covered caskets. Metal casket

prices differ based on metal type, copper,

bronze, or steel, and gauge (thickness). Wood

casket prices are based on many factors. Thetype of wood used, hardwood or softwood, the

polished nish of the wood, and veneer versus

solid wood. Cloth covered caskets are made

of various materials and are simply covered in

cloth. Hardware also plays a part in the overall

price of each type of casket. Handles on the

ends, more ornate handles and corners, the

type of interior bed of the casket, the shape of

the casket, and even the style of lock, all affect

the price. As a rule, the least expensive is the

cloth covered casket, wood and steel caskets

are comparable, and the copper and bronze

caskets will be most expensive.

During the Feb. 4 town council meeting there were ques-

tions raised about the recommendation for a new ice-clean-ing machine.

One of the main questions asked was why would staff berecommending the purchase of the Big Hill Services Olym-pia machine for $158,000 after trade in, which is $14,000more than the ENGO machine Joe Johnson Equipment wassuggesting at $144,705 after trade in.

On Feb. 18 Tracy Simpson, community services coordina-tor, answered some of the questions.

Currently the staff at the Strathmore Family Centre use anOlympia natural gas machine. The new one will be electric

but is familiar, and will run and operate similarly to the cur-rent machines. There’s also a two-week turnaround period toget the machine. Joe Johnson promised a turnaround timeof six months.

“The Olympias are very similar to a car, you use a steering wheel, foot pedals, brakes etcetera whereas the ENGO is op-

erated with a joystick. It would be a steep learning curve tooperate the machine on ice for our operators,” said Simpson. The current machine is old, and for now is running well,

but there are no promises on how long it will last. Last yearclose to $20,000 was put into rebuilding the engine and

some of the other parts.“The one major difference between the machines is the Big

Hill Olympia is a stainless steel chassis and it comes with a25 year warranty. The Joe Johnson ENGO machine is a galva-

nized steel and only comes with a five year warranty.” After consulting with the staff at the Family Centre, Simp-

son said they recommend purchasing the Big Hill machine.Councillor Bob Sobol said the turnaround time was a bo-

nus, but questioned if there is ice in the Family Centre allsummer too.

“We have only about a month and a half every year wherethere’s absolutely no ice and then we operate about fourmonths of the year with one ice surface,” said Simpson. There is a second unit if the first one goes, and it would be

feasible to get through with one during the summer. At the previous council meeting Councillor Brad Walls had

been concerned about spending the additional $14,000.“With this new information that is being presented I am

prepared to support the motion to get the much more ex-pensive unit, but I would like administration to be financiallyaware of where we’re going in the future because with this

oil the way it is we’re going to start to face some uncertaintyand ultimately we have one taxpayer, us,” said Walls. A motion was made and approved to purchase the Olym-

pia from Big Hill Services. The old machine will be brokendown and used for parts by Big Hill.

LAND USE TEXTUAL AMENDMENT BYLAWSThe following Land Use Textual Amendment Bylaws will be presented to

Council for consideration on March 4, 2015.Public Hearing, March 4, 2015, 7:00 pm: Bylaw# 15-01 and Bylaw# 15-06

Textual Amendments to Land Use Bylaw 14-11. Summary of Amendments areas follows:

Bylaw# 15-01• Corrects or addresses setbacks from a side property line for the principal

building in the following residential districts: R1N, R2X and R3.• Addresses Setbacks for Accessory Buildings• Revises minimum lot widths for certain dwelling unit types in residential

districts

Setbacks from a side property line provide space between buildings affecting their appearance and the overall appearance of the streetscape while providingspace for fire protection, access to rear yards, sunlight penetration, aircirculation, privacy, drainage, as well as space for utilities and related matters.

The LUB, as passed in September of 2014, changed the setbacks for a principalbuilding from a side property side in the R1N, R2X, and R3 districts. Thesesetbacks are currently 1.0 m which is viewed as a typographical error. ThisBylaw proposes a minimum setback of 1.5 m. Greater setbacks apply to tallerbuildings and corner lots.

Lot widths affect density and the overall appearance of a streetscape. TheLUB currently allows 7.62m wide lots in both newly developing areas and existingareas. This width is viewed as inappropriate in new subdivisions recognizing that the Town wishes to retain elements of its character.

Bylaw# 15-06Amend the Heading in section 3.26 Secondary Suites by removing the words

Secondary Suites and replacing these words with “Garden Suites”.Section 3.26 Secondary Suites is amended by removing the heading, namely,

Secondary Suites, and clauses 1. to 9. under this heading.Remove Sections 4.1 (2) (b) (vi), 4.2 (2) (b) (vi), 4.3 (2) (b) (v), and 4.4 (2) (b) (vii),

“Secondary Suites” from the list of Discretionary Uses in the R1, R1N, R1S, andR2 Land Use Districts.

R1S, Land Use Districts.To review a full copy of Bylaw 15-01 and Bylaw 15-06, please contact the

Food for Fines is back at the Strath-

more Municipal Library starting onMarch 1.“The Food for Fines campaign started

off as a program that we ran in celebra-tion of Canadian Library Month in Oc-tober of 2010,” said Assistant Directorof Library Services Carmen Erison. After the first year the library spoke

to the Wheatland County Food Bank, which suggested right before spring would be a good time to collect dona-tions. Prior to Christmas there are manyschools, businesses and organizationsrunning food drives, but in the springdonations seem to slack off a bit. The way the program works is if you

have overdue fines at the library, bringin a non-perishable food item anytime

from March 1-31 and each item broughtin is worth $2 of overdue fines. Foodfor Fines only counts for overdue fines,it doesn’t work towards membershipfees or for lost items.

“Previous years we have seen sub-stantial donations to the library, up-

wards towards 1,500 items. Last year was a bit of a harder year for us and we only collected roughly about 500

items for the food bank,” said Erison.“This year we’re looking to increase theamount of items that we bring in to atleast 750 items because we know thatthere are many community membersthat can definitely benefit from a pro-gram like this.

“Even if you don’t have overdue fines you’re still welcome to come and dropoff food donations here at the library

because all generosity is very appreci-ated and can really help these commu-nity members as well.”

Book sale Also coming up at the library next

month is the chance to add to your book collection. On March 13 from 12p.m. to 7 p.m. and March 14 from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. the library will be havinga book sale to help weed out their col-lection and make room for new books.

“We’re bursting at the seams, we are

overflowing in our storage rooms andso this is looking to be a very large

book sale,” said Erison. “We will alsooffering a deal as well like we did last

year where you purchase a library book bag and fill it for $1.”

All proceeds will go to support theStrathmore library and help continue torun the programs and services through-out the year.

Cocaine was rst isolated as a chemical entity in

1855 but it had been used for thousands of years by

South American native people who chewed the leaves

of the coca plant that contained the drug. Medically itwas originally used as an anaesthetic mainly in the eye

but the discovery of its stimulating effects soon found

it being used in tonics and health drinks in the 19th

Century until its addictive qualities were discovered

and its use in these products was banned.

The discovery of the microscope in the 1600s

was a leap forward in medical science. It allowed

scientist s to see bacteria. Now, with the Nobel Prize

being awarded in chemistry for the discovery of the

fuorescent microscope, scientists are able to see

inside an individual cell. This heralds the age of

“nanoscopy” and will be very useful in discovering

the causes of disease like Parkinsons, Huntingtons and

Alzheimers.

Here’s a hint when reading those nutritional labels

on food products. Anything ending in “-ose” usually

indicates a sugar of some type, like glucose. If a word

ends in “-ase”, it usually indicates an enzyme like

protease.

Normally, our salivary glands produce about one

litre of saliva every day. Some people produce lessand the uncomfortable condition of dry mouth can

occur. Sometimes, medications can be the cause.

These can include antihistamines, heart and blood

pressure drugs, cancer drugs, and drugs used to treat

Parkinsons.

Talk to our pharmacists for advice about any of your

medications.

From making and freezing foods,crafting centrepieces and backdrops fortheir display tables, there has been alot of work going into the event, which

was held Feb. 21 at the Strathmore Civ-ic Centre. The event began with the parade of

flags piped in by Pipers Brandon Sum-

mers and Mark Fisher and followed byRCMP Constables Melisa Archambaultand Chris Kehoe with the Canadianflags. The national anthem was led byDoug Thurn, followed by a table grace

by Pastor Dawn Nelson. The many and various countries

showcased for the evening included Austria, Canada, Egypt, Germany, GreatBritain and Ireland, Holland, Italy, Rus-sia and the Ukraine, and this year theScandinavian countries of Denmark,Finland, Sweden and Norway amalgam-ated their display and shared the loadof making the national foods.

Parade of Nations another huge successParticipants were told to “travel the

world without leaving the room andexperience the flavour and cuisine ofeach nation as you visit the booths.” The raffle table of donated gifts from

around the world brought in well over$3,000 dollars.

Pastor Dawn Nelson says that she ispleased with all the hard work every

year that goes with putting an eventlike this on in the community. Every

year surpasses the previous one fromthe food, entertainment and joy that isseen on the faces of all who come tothe sold-out event.

When one thinks of marijuana use it invokes the imageof a stoner sitting in a haze ofsmoke, watching TV, usually with munchies nearby. Whichis exactly the vision that cameto mind when the Lockie family,from Langdon, thought aboutmarijuana and its users.

It’s also part of why it tooksome time for them to put thatimage away and begin to se-riously consider using medi-cal marijuana to help their sonBraxton, who has suffered from20-50 seizures a day for much ofhis young life.

The Lockies, after plenty ofresearch and discussions withfamilies using the treatment fortheir children, decided to givemedical marijuana a try.

“If you were to tell me a cou-ple years ago that we would bein this process, I wouldn’t be-lieve you because we are defi-nitely not at all familiar withmarijuana,” said Tara Lockie,Braxton’s mom.

“People mentioned it to me,and I was very dismissive of it, Ididn’t think it was something forour family.” There is a bad connotation of

medical marijuana users, saidLockie, that it’s people using thesystem and just using it to gethigh, which didn’t fall in line with her one-year-old son.

“I think enough people men-tioned it to me and hinted to meand told me in different ways,from all walks of life … that I just said ‘okay we have to ex-plore this,’” said Lockie.

It began with a three-monthtrial, which is the same timeframe the family has used forany medications their son hastaken. They started with an ex-tremely low dose, one Lockiesaid probably didn’t even regis-

ter in his body, and over time in-creased it to a dosage appropri-ate for Braxton’s body weight.

“Once we got to that place where he was at a good dosage, we didn’t see any negative sideeffects and his seizures seemedto be not any worse, so wethought we would continue on,”said Lockie.

Braxton did well for most ofthe summer and the fall, he waseating with his mouth, swim-

ming in the pool and had begunsaying some words.

One day, in October, Braxtonsuddenly was having non-stopseizures, known as status epi-lepticus, which is defined as anepileptic seizure longer than 30minutes, or more than one with-in a 30-minute period. Whenthis happens the Lockies have togive Braxton midazolam, whichis basically their rescue drug tohelp stop the seizures. The drug, which is a strong sedative, hasside effects that include Braxtongoing into a zombie-like state, becoming non-responsive, need-ing oxygen and usually a trans-port to the hospital. This time the family tried giv-

ing Braxton an extra quarterdose of his medical marijuana.

“So many of the medicationsBraxton has been on. We havetried 10 different AEDs, theycause extreme drowsiness, fussi-ness, they can cause teethingproblems, vision loss, sleepless-ness, a whole bunch of otherproblems that make day-to-daylife hard even if the seizures arecontrolled,” said Lockie.

Braxton has tried 10 different AEDs to help control his sei-zures and of those 10, only onehas ever improved them.

“The medical marijuana seems

to control his seizures, to aboutthe same extent and a little bitgreater than that one medicationthat works for him, but it doesn’tmake him drowsy, it doesn’t af-fect his teething. It’s a very lowdose of THC,” said Lockie. There are numerous documen-

taries coming out from families who have used medical marijua-na with their children and howit has helped them in ways thatmany of the other medicationshadn’t.

Many documentaries talkabout cannabidiol (CBD) whichis an active cannabinoid iden-tified in cannabis. It does not

have the same properties thatmake you high like THC. While groundbreaking studies

have been coming out of Israel,including one on CBD and itstherapeutic properties (http:// ww w.pr oj ec tc bd .or g/ ne ws / whole-plant-cbd-rich-cannabis- be tter -medic ine- than-s ingle-molecule-cbd/) studies have just begun in North America. There’s currently not a lot ofresearch, which is why Lockie

thinks many doctors are hesitantto give it to children, especially

because there isn’t backgroundabout how much is the rightamount and possible long-termside effects.

Most reported cases of chil-dren suffering from the sameconditions as Braxton have ashort life expectancy, so time was of the essence for the fam-ily.

“Considering we don’t havea long-term we were willing totry,” said Lockie.

Braxton is given one gram perday, which is made into an oilproduct that is divided into hissix feeds he receives through aG-tube each day. It has been a

challenge to find the proper dos-age and a safe way to administerthe marijuana, due to the limitedinformation available from doc-tors, producers and the govern-ment at this time. The family has been slowly taking Braxton offof his pharmaceutical medica-tions.

“He is on a ketogenic diet,takes therapeutic doses of vita-min B6, and has monthly IVIGtreatments, which are all at-tempts to control his seizures. We also have two rescue medi-cations, which are sedatives, which we use to drug Braxton

when he seizes for too long, ortoo often, and we need to givehis brain a break before furtherdamage is done,” said Lockie.

“So far we have only seen im-provements by increasing marijuana and weaning pharmas.”

One of the last times Braxton was in the hospital, the staff ad- vised the family to max out onthe medication Sabril to helphim. This resulted in the clos-est they had come to losingtheir son. Weaning him off themedication, lots of prayers, andincreasing the marijuana is what brought him back, said Lockie.

“Epilepsy is evil, it changes

forms of seizures, effects differ-ent parts of the brain, displaysdifferently in each person. Just when you get a bit of a handle,a fever, a virus, a new environ-ment, could bring on seizures,”said Lockie. The only AED Braxton is cur-

rently on is Phenobarbital, butthe family is considering wean-ing him off of all pharmaceuti-cals in the near future.

Fule for Thought

If you’re a child of the 60s and 70s, you remember that at one time there was a conspiracy ideathat Paul McCartney of the Beatles had died, andthat it had all been kept quiet.

It became a mystery, and people believed thatthere were clues to this in song lyrics and albumartwork. It all stemmed from a 1967 car accidentthat McCartney was in, and it became a huge ur-

ban legend! People said that if you played “Revo-lution 9” backwards, you could hear Lennon say“turn me on, dead man.”

Even the cover of “Abbey Road” with the Beatles

walking in single file had clues! Yes, John Len-non led them in white as the clergyman, Ringofollowed in black as the mourner, and George in

jeans and an old shirt was the gravedigger! Here’sthe kicker though, Paul was walking barefoot, outof step with the others, and he was therefore thecorpse! Wow, people were simple in the 60s … or

was it all the drugs?! This old urban legend brings us fast forward to

2015. If you’ve been a regular reader, then youknow it doesn’t take much to amuse me, and that Ihave a kind of twisted sense of humour. So, you’dunderstand if you drove by me on Main Street tosee me laughing. We were on our way for Chinesefood when the Joyland marquee caught my eye.On one side of it was “Fifty Shades of Grey” …the other, “Paddington Bear”! I started to think:“poor Paddington, what if it was Mr. Grey he stum-

bled upon first?” You know, “Mr. Grey will see younow, Paddington.” Cute, little bear looking for anice family … gets introduced to Mr. Grey, who’sa handsome, yet tormented billionaire. Paddingtonthinks he’s found his “forever home,” and suddenlyhis little paws have handcuffs around them, andthen he hears the words “I’m used to getting myown way.” Poor little furry, trusting bear!

I don’t know why, but the contrast betweenthe two hit me hard, but then I could also picturesome strange link between the two. Maybe there

was a new urban legend happening right now!Somehow, I saw strange similarities between that

bear and Mr. Grey’s movie. They were on the same Joyland marquee, and they seem to have things incommon … the bear has a battered suitcase with asecret compartment, and he’s able to pull ALL sortsof things from it! Paddington even wears a trenchcoat … a trench coat! He, like Christian Grey havesomething to hide! Coincidence, I think not! This bear’s movie is a children’s one, but got a PG

rating because of mild sexual innuendo and mildlanguage. Did you read that? Sexual innuendo …another eerie similarity! It’s as if Mr. Grey and Mr.Paddington may indeed have a lot in common! So,I had to do it! No, I didn’t go to see “Fifty Shadesof Grey,” but I did ask some of my staff pals! Usu-ally, we try to organize a “guys’ movie night,” at the

Joyland some Sundays. I mean, we’ve seen ruggedstuff like “American Sniper,” “The Equalizer,” and“Fury,” together. So I asked them if they wanted tohit tonight’s movie. They all thought it was great,and then I told them the title! You should haveseen their faces turn to disgust with me! Nope,the men were not going to sit next to each other

watching this movie! Besides, what would parentsand neighbours think of a group of guys watching“Fifty Shades of Grey” and taking notes! No, there

was no way we’d huddle together watching thismovie! The news would have spread to our stu-dents before we even left the theatre!

I think the wisest thing is to see “Paddington”instead of “Fifty Shades” … it’s a lot safer for me,that way. I’ve heard it doesn’t portray men in a

very kind light, and that’s the last thing I needright about now! However, I did hear there was a

certain group of lady curlers who were going tosee it! You ladies know who you are! You don’tthink they might try to reverse things on their hus-

bands, do you? Those poor guys … napping onthe couches won’t know what hit them! The hor-ror … the horror … the horror … (Marlon Brando,“Apocalypse Now” … you’re welcome!).

The Fraser family name has been traced back to the 12thcentury, but this family story begins in the 1920’s, when Don’sgrandparents Simon and Jean Fraser, and their four youngest(Matt, Douglas, Betty and Jean) of eleven children, immigrat-ed to Canada. They arrived at Chancellor, to stay with theirtwo sons who had served in the Canadian Army, and been as-signed Soldiers Settlement Land. Grandfather bought 35 unbro-ken horses, about a week after they arrived, and thus started ahorse business that would continue untilthe late thirties.

In 1923, the family moved to theGeorge Rawling place southwest of Hus-sar, where Don’s father Matt, and Matt’ssister Jean, attended Meadow GrassSchool. Matt was born in Eaglesham,Scotland in 1909, and raised and soldrabbits to help pay for his passage toCanada.

Eventually, the rest of the family ar -rived in Canada and settled on the Crow-foot Creek, near Cluny. By this time theland was home to many, many cattle and horses, and as it wasopen range, they roamed freely. As a young man, Matt, hiscousin, and a friend trailed 275 horses north to the Peace RiverCountry, to get feed for the horses, following the extremely dry

summer in the south in 1930. He met his future wife MildredBlanes here, and convinced her to move back south with him. They were married in 1934, and lived in the Cluny area, wheretheir three children were born, Don being the youngest, bornin 1938. Don remembers riding his horse to/from Jeanne D’Arc,a one room country school through Grade 7. After the familymoved to the Hussar area in 1951, he attended the Dorm inCluny through Grade 12. This was followed by a year’s school -ing in Red Deer, after which he started ranching – which hecontinues today, as DW Herefords.

His mother Mildred was born in Clinton, Wash. in 1913, oneof 11 children of Edwin and Inga Blanes. The family moved toBawlf, Alta. when she was still an infant. They stayed with rela-tives until 1916, when they all moved to become homesteadersat Sexsmith. Mildred spent her life as a farm wife, cooking and baking for her family and the work crews, as well as lookingafter her big garden, sewing and knitting. She now lives (age102) in Playfair Lodge in Bassano. Matt passed away in 2000.

Her paternal grandparents – William and Elizabeth Mashford

with their two small sons, emigrated from Plymouth, Englandto Calgary in 1912.

One of them was Kay’s father George who was born in 1910. After the war ended, William and Elizabeth bought land at Tro-chu and tried farming. In those days, many immigrants struggled with the farming conditions, and following Elizabeth’s death in1929, William returned to England, where he passed away in1939. Kay’s father George and his brother continued farming,through the tough years of the dirty thirties. In 1933, Georgemarried Marion Walker of Trochu, and they had four children.

Marion was one of six children born to George and Katherine Walker, who had homesteaded at Trochuin 1905, after moving there from Bottin-eau, N.D. After several years of droughtand hail, her father, George, decided tomove on, and after training as an eleva-tor agent he worked in this position forthe next 30 years. This necessitated theirliving in many small towns, one of which was Wimbourne where Kay was born,the youngest of four children, in 1944.She attended school at Three Hills, thengraduated from Bassano, before takinga secretarial course at Mount Royal Col-

lege. She worked for Crane Supply in Calgary for 18 months before getting married. Her father George passed away in 1985,and her mother Marion in 2006.

Don and Kay met at a dance in Gem, Alta. in 1962, and were

married in 1964. They have three sons, three granddaughtersand five grandsons. The oldest and youngest sons are ranchers, while the middle one is a grain merchant in Lethbridge.

Don has worked with Hereford cattle all his life. He was co-owner of Fraser Hereford Farms with his father and brotheruntil 1972, when the ranch was divided, and their place then became known as DW Herefords.

Their community activities include welcoming exchange stu-dents from many countries around the world, who would stayand work with them for six months at a time, many of whomstill stay in touch.

Don is Past President of the Alberta Hereford Association, has been a Director of the Alberta Cattle Breeders Association, anElder in the Presbyterian Church in Bassano, was a member ofHussar Lions, was secretary of the Hussar Seed Cleaning Plant, when it was built, and was one of the board members of theBassano Gas Co-op when it was formed. He also coached minorhockey.

right?” Paul Zacharias says with a laugh. “People would be worried that we’re not doing so well and they’ll come out (tothe concerts).

“This is a season of life where we’re kind of stepping outand trying different things, and we’re letting go of differentareas of security ... my understanding of the seven year itchis that it has to do with a sense of restlessness and a need,and often that is a very destructive thing in marriages.”

He and Heather have an entirely different focus.“We just go deeper into what our passions are, and (ask)

how we’re able to pursue that together as a husband and wife team,” he said.

“Instead of it being something that drives us apart,” Heath-er Zacharias adds, “we say okay, how can we use this to drawus closer together?”

Many of the stops on this tour are in small venues, includ-ing some house concerts. They talk about the unpredictable

joys of performing for small, intimate audiences.“They always end up being a wonderful experience for us,

and I think for the audience members too, because we’reall just there and we don’t know what’s going to happen,”Heather says. “We just want to have a shared experience and

be reminded that, you know, there are good people in the world, and we actually are surrounded by them.”

That openness to adventure is reflected in the title of theirnewly-released second album, the Frogs Sang Symphonies,“because of the idea that something beautiful could comefrom something or someone unexpected,” Paul says. “It’sgood and rich to look for the beauty and listen for the beautyin this life and in this world, and yeah, that’s part of what

we’re hoping to offer folks.” Three musical Rosebud friends – Inga (Natalie Gauthier),

Cassia Schramm and Travis Friesen – will join Me and theMrs. for the March 8 concert in Rosebud.

“They are going to be doing a few songs each and they’regoing to join us for a few,” Paul says. “And we’re going tohave something of a band for that show ... so it will be some-thing of a bigger sound. It’ll be just a really big celebration.” The concer t is at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, March 8, in the Har-

vest Room of the Rosebud Mercantile Building. Tickets are$15 in advance, $20 at the door. For more information or toreserve tickets, e-mail [email protected] or seetheir Me & the Mrs. Facebook page.

If you ask any of the UFA Bisons af-ter Game 1 of their series with the Cal-gary Flames, a lot of them would saythey were very fortunate to come out

with that win.

The Herd were able to gut out acharacter 3-2 win, and all the offensecame in a three minute span in thethird period on Feb. 19 at the Strath-more Family Centre. The Flames built a 2-0 lead on the

nervous Bisons, but at the 15 minutemark of the third period, Will Conleygot the crowd jumping when he scoredon a breakaway out of the penalty box;then it was all Bisons from there. They were able to complete the

comeback in a three-minute span.Head coach Dan MacDonald was en-

thused with the hard work the teamshowed despite the slow start.

“I think it was just a lot of nerves, wedidn’t play the way we could, but once

we overcame those then we really gotgoing and we scored,” said MacDon-ald. “We were fortunate in a way but

we got to give credit to the players fornever giving up.” There were a lot of players that had

taken a good portion of the game toadjust to a playoff atmosphere but set-tled in once they did.

“When we scored that first goal theneverybody released the tension thatthey had and said that we can do thisand we got better as they game woreon,” said MacDonald. “We’re all learn-ing how to play in real tough situ-ations and lucky in a lot of ways to

battle through the first game.”

Gary Haden added a pair to seal the win.

In the clinching game, the Bisons were able to built momentum off thefirst game on route to a 5-3 win overthe Flames in Calgary on Feb. 21.

“The biggest thing, it was a realteam win. I don’t think our guys were

as nervous, they knew what to expectand everyone went out and did a verygood job from top to bottom,” saidMacDonald. “We were good and there

wasn’t a player there that didn’t work very hard and that’s what one of ourstrengths is that we work very hardand we did that.”

Barrett Sheen scored two, whileConley, Kyle Gordon and Davis Shel-don added singles in the win.

Round 2 will see the Bisons playthe Calgary Royals beginning Feb. 26in Calgary (7:15 p.m.) at Stu Peppard

Arena.MacDonald knows that a hard work

ethic, staying disciplined and movingthe puck will play a key role in their

success.“We certainly match up good with

them,” said MacDonald. “It’s just a mat-ter of their strengths, they have four orfive guys in the Top 20, have a goaliethat has one of the best save percent-ages in the league. We have to get tothe net, and we’re going to have tostop them from getting to the net.”

Game 2 of the best-of-five series isslated for Feb. 28 (2:30 p.m.) at theStrathmore Family Centre. Game 3

will be March 1 (7:15 p.m.) in Calgary, while Game 4 (if necessary) is March 3 back in Strathmore (7:15 p.m.).

Game 5 (if necessary) would beMarch 5 in Calgary (7:15 p.m.).

Calgary Flames 3-2 in Game 1 on Feb. 19 at the Strathmore

The Wheatland Kings tied up their best-of-seven series at two with a con- vincing 4-1 in Game 4 over the Coaldale

Copperheads on Feb. 24 at the Strath-more Family Centre. After an opening 5-2 loss on Feb. 18

in Coaldale, the Kings sent a packedStrathmore Family Centre home happyin Game 2 on Feb. 20 with a 4-2 win, be-fore dropping a 5-2 game 3 in Coaldalethe next night. Assistant coach Joel Robinson admits

that the Copperheads got some lucky breaks in the first game.

“You look at Wednesday night’s gameand we were trying to be individualsand do it all ourselves, trying to be theguy. (In Game 2) it just seemed like we

wanted to play as a team, we wanted toget the W,” said Robinson. “I think the

biggest thing for us is the continued de-

sire to want to win. Matt Thomson saidit perfectly, ‘we’re the underdog’ and welike being in that state because we workhard and it drives us to work harder.”

Matt Thomson and Brayden Beckleyscored in the defeat.

He felt that the effort was not quitethere in the first game but improved im-mensely in the second one.

“When we go up against a team likeCoaldale, we want to be outworkingthem. For the first game it was lacklus-tre and the second game it became way

better, it was team effort, everyone is fly-ing,” said Robinson.

Beckley, Thomson, Captain Kirby Ru-zesky, Sebastian Turgeon scored in the

win.It was a different story in Game 3,

as the Kings frustration seemed to boilover in every aspect of the game.

“We kind of went back to our old ways, not playing a solid 60 minutes of

hockey,” he said. “We played 40 minutesof hockey and in third period we brokedown on each other or on the refs.”

Ruzesky and Keenan Ogle scored inthe loss.

In Game 4, head coach Jeremy Blumes was pleased to see his team play sucha high-energy game and executing onspecial teams.

“I thought our special teams was ex-cellent, the penalty kill was tenacious(and) kept our shifts to 30 seconds. Wekept our power play simple and cashedin on a couple by putting pucks on thenet and crashing,” said Blumes. “Whenit comes down to it, it’s a pretty simplegame, it’s just hard to play, and we’refiguring out how to play the right way.”

He could not have stressed enoughhow important tying the series was forhis team’s confidence.

“We talked about this game as amust win, now it’s a best-of-three,”said Blumes. “It’s a quick turnaround,

we have to carry that momentum intothe next game and stick with the gameplan.”

Calvin Gordon, Justin Kostiuk, BrettDumaine and Kirby Ruzesky scored inthe win.

The Standard Figure Skatingclub places an emphasis on de-

veloping skills and having fun while doing so. The CanSkate program’s

youngest skater is two and a halfand the oldest is 16. The club isa mixture of beginner skaters just learning the techniques andthose with more experience thatare improving on their skills.

“CanSkate is basic skatingtechniques-stopping, turns andstuff like that. StarSkate is whenthey get into the more techni-cal stuff like figure skating,” saidErin Jensen, secretary of the fig-ure skating club.

“The goal right now is to en-courage fitness and participa-

tion in the community.”In a small community such as

Standard, it could be difficult to

get a lot skaters to participatein sessions but they have stayedconsistent the last couple of years.

“I wouldn’t say (there is) anincrease, we’re pretty steadyand we get new enrolment ev-ery year,” said Jensen.

“Our older kids grow out ofthe CanSkate for StarSkate andit’s so hard to find figure skatingcoaches. After they’ve been in itfor so many years, they need

something new or they need anew coach.” The club hosts a fundraiser

carnival with a different themeevery year.

“We do a raffle, silent auction,games for the kids and we’re go-ing to have a popcorn machinethis year,” said Jensen.

“The theme changes every year, this year it’s going to be‘At the Movies,’ so every rou-tine will be from a movie. Thecoach will pick the music fromthe movies and they do a skat-ing routine.”

The carnival will take placeon March 15 from 2-4 p.m. atthe Standard Arena.

PEACE AMIDST THE STORMSWith so many things going onin life, so many ups and downs,so many things that are alwayschanging, it would be nice tohave a steady anchor to hangonto and focus on. Change andcircumstances can overwhelmus at times and are hard to keep

up to. Each day brings its ownchallenges and some days thestorms are hard to endure.There is a story in the Bible that talks about that as well. Jesus’disciples were all out in a boatand Jesus was with them andHe fell asleep. Out of nowhere,a huge storm comes in. I canimagine it must have been areally bad storm because a lotof the men in the boat werefishermen and they were quiteused to being out in the boatsno matter what weather. But the Bible says they were reallyafraid. Their boat was fillingwith water and they were goingdown. No matter what they did,

or how much knowledge andskill and experience they had, they couldn’t keep the boatabove water.Have you ever felt that way? Nomatter how hard you try, howmuch knowledge and skill youhave, your back is against the

wall and you feel overwhelmedand helpless.It took the disciples awhile, but they finally went over and calledon Jesus. They told Him theywere perishing and things werelooking bad. Immediately, Jesusgets up and calms the winds andwaters and everything becomes

peaceful and calm again.I always love to know that nomatter how much stuff is goingon around me, I have a steadyAnchor that can bring peace inany circumstances. I just have to remember He is there andcall on Him. That is really thekey. Stuff will always happen inlife, but no matter what is goingon, we can have peace evenduring storms if we will just tryJesus. He never left the boat. Hispresence was always with them,but they were focused on theircircumstances rather than Him.His presence is always there,He promises never to leave us,but we have to turn to Him and

ask Him.It’s nice to know that God’s lovenever changes no matter whatis happening in our lives. I lovehaving that Anchor in my life tohang on to.Pastor Elizabeth Karp Harvest Healing Centre Church

they’re going to perform at dance related workshops. It’ll befive nights in London, three nights in Edinburgh and threenights in Dublin,” said Leeper.

Other than the gala, there are various other functions heldthroughout the year to help raise funds to send the girls onthese trips.
