Two years after the 2013 catastrophic floods rippedthrough Alberta, devastated former resort communityHidden Valley residents remain in the lurch with littleassistance or compensation for the loss of their homesand community, from the provincial government, Sik-sika Band, or insurance companies. While the Disaster Recovery Program (DRP) dished

out over $90 million to Siksika Nation - whose land thecommunity was built and leased on - the area remainscondemned and deemed unfit for human habitation. With Hidden Valley’s $44 million in residential prop-

erty losses, Alberta’s Disaster Recovery Program onlyprovides financial assistance for uninsurable loss anddamages on primary residences – not applicable to sec-ondary or seasonal homes. To date, only an estimated 20 per cent of the residenc-

es have received some form of compensation. While amajority of the properties were considered secondaryhomes, community members said most of the residentslived in Hidden Valley for more than six months out ofthe year. Although 32 residences have received DRP funding,

the remaining 270 are still waiting.“The people who did not own any other property in

Canada and go south to the States every year were givenDRP money, and those who live in Alberta and sup-port our economy were deemed secondary residenceor vacation residence and didn’t qualify,” said SharinMackie, spokesperson for the Hidden Valley DisasterRelief Committee and former resident.

“The PC government compensated secondary resi-dents in High River and Lac Des Arcs. They are cover-ing the Kananaskis Golf Course and they even coveredthem for lost wages, but they haven’t helped us. They

paid $33 million for 11 homes in Calgary off the ElbowRiver. So they did pick and choose. We’re hoping thatthe new government will be an awful lot more fair.”

Mackie, who added that Hidden Valley was a perma-nent community for 39 years, said community membershad to wait for the whole Siksika Nation to be pumpedout before they were allowed back into the area, leav-ing Hidden Valley under water for 20 days. She addedpower and water services were never turned back on- making it hard to clean - while anything salvageable

was either destroyed or covered in mould. According to Mackie, over 50 per cent of the Hidden

Valley population had senior status and had sunk theirlife savings into their lost homes. Yet, with the currentchange in government, and changes within the SiksikaBand, the committee remains optimistic.

An unconventional approach – unpar-alleled in Strathmore – with emphasison enhancing skills through a curricu-lar-based child-care program, intends toconnect local seniors and preschoolersin only a few months time and cater todemand.

Following a partnership between Cal-gary-based for-profit company Kids Uand AgeCare, children and seniors areprovided with the opportunity to build

brain development and brain functions by promoting efforts to work together. “What happens, from a seniors stand-

point, is that they’re starting to lose alot of their executive functioning skillsand the children are building theirs, sothe material basis that they use are verysimilar,” said Anil Karim, executive di-rector for Kids U.

“The common misconception is thatseniors are going to come and they’reonly there to teach children. But there’sa lot of activities where they can coop-erate and build things together, and ithelps both the seniors and the child.”

Based on two philosophies, the Mon-tessori method and the Reggio Emiliamethod, the program combines both

curriculums – day care and preschool. To compliment the brain-based learn-

ing, the rooms in the Strathmore facility,located next to Sagewood Seniors Com-munity, are dedicated to either right-

brain learning or left-brain learning. Through fabrics, mirrors, colours,

lights, and natural materials, children,aged three, four, and five years old, willhave a chance to stimulate their creativ-ity and play organically. Other roomsare structured, with focus on logic, num-

bers, words, and sciences. Karim said he was approached by numerous Strath-more families, who struggle with mak-ing a decision between child-care andpreschool.

“A lot of times child-care and pre-schools are treated very differently andchild care programs go through basicchild-care needs of a child and someearly childhood development,” Karimsaid. “Parents put their children in for10 to 12 hours a day and that’s the typeof care that they’re expecting. Whenthey go to a preschool they go for twoto three hours a day and they’re only ex-pecting that the child is going to learn,and so it creates this divide betweenlearning versus care. Kids U, bridges

both together.” According to Karim, the program is

dedicated to developing a child’s fivedevelopmental domains: fine motor,gross motor, social and emotional, lan-guage, and cognitive. Upon buildingconfidence in these areas, the child will

then be paired with a senior to engagein numerous activities including read-ing, working on a puzzle, or playinggames. However, the staff at SagewoodSeniors Community said the program

will benefit the seniors in more waysthan improving their skills.

“A lot of time when residents are iso-lated or don’t have any visitors, theydevelop loneliness or boredom,” saidMichelle Pham, general manager forSagewood Seniors Community.

“Our goal is trying to reduce that,and there is a lot of joy residents have

when they’re around small children. Just watching them play, doing an activity, orhaving them read to the residents or vice

versa, is a huge benefit to the resident.” The Strathmore centre will be Kids

U’s fifth facility, and will be one of twosuch projects partnering with AgeCare– the other one being in south Calgary.Kids U caters to over 400 children andhas another 150 kids on waiting lists.In Strathmore, the child-care centre ex-pects to accommodate 55 children. Cur-rently waiting on their permit, the cen-tre, which is already built, is anticipatedto open its doors in September.

“Our government shares many ofthe frustrations that people have had with the previous government’s re-sponse to this disaster,” said Ministerof Municipal Affairs and Service Al- berta Deron Bilous. “We are currentlyreviewing the Disaster Recovery Pro-gram and the lessons learned from2013, so we can improve the program

going forward. We will be working with affected residents to resolve out-standing claims, and we are commit-ted to ensuring that people and com-munities receive the amount for whichthey are eligible.”

Since the floods, the 300 residences,or nearly 1,500 community members, were forced to move to small com-munities within Alberta, BC, and eventhe United States. While many of them were seasonal, there was misconcep-tion that those residences were in pos-session of two homes. The CanadianRed Cross also organized a reunionfor the community members earlierthis year in Calgary.

“Some insurance companies have

paid up, and we’re still working withothers to have them come forwardand do the same thing,” said formerprimary resident Dick Burgis, who isalso still awaiting some compensation.

“There have been rumours thatthey’re working away at trying to cleansome stuff up, but nothing has beencleaned up yet. It’s an ongoing battle we’re trying to recover some dollarsfrom Siksika because we paid the rent

for the whole year, so we’re tryingto get that back and of course we’re working with the insurance compa-nies to come up with a compromise.”

Despite rumours of improvementsto the area, Municipal Affairs was un-able to provide information regardingtheir financial assistance to the area atthis time. The Hidden Valley Disaster Relief

Committee sought legal advice in re-

gards to insurance matters, and willcontinue their efforts to make sure theHidden Valley residents receive com-pensation for their losses.

Grade 6 Wheatland Elementary student ChrisHitch shaved his locks in support of cancer on

June 26. He did it in memory of his grandparents

who lost their battle with cancer.

Inspired by his older brother Ken Jr., who was the first in his family to shavehis head for cancer, 11-year-old Grade6 Wheatland Elementary student Chris

Hitch followed suit after the recentpassing of his grandfather and grand-mother.

On June 26, he did his part by shav-ing his long hair in front of his peers, where he donated his locks to make wigs for kids who are battling cancer.

Hitch, who was diagnosed with ADHD and asthma at a young age, didnot have second thoughts about help-ing out kids who are suffering morethan he is.

“It was Grade 4 that my grandpapassed away,” said Hitch. “I wanted tosort of help find a cure for cancer andI heard that they were doing a headshaving for them.”

At school, his fellow classmates toldhim to get a hair cut and he thoughtgetting rid of his hair for a cure was the best way to do it.

“Most of the time I would see somekids who were bald and I would think why don’t they have a wig,” said Hitch.“My parents say ‘get a hair-cut and do-nate it.’”

Both of his parents, Ken and Angela,could not be any more proud of their youngest child to help cancer patients.

“That’s really important, he’s got ADHD and severe asthma, so he’s veryheartfelt with people,” said Ken. “Whenhe heard that his brother was going todo it, he asked his mom and I if hecould do it and I said ‘yeah, as long as you keep it going.’”

Ken said that Chris is determined tofundraise.

“He already has close to $200 worthof pledges,” said Ken. “We’re actuallygoing to run it through the summer

A new baby in the family? Congratulations! Just

a reminder to keep the child on his back in the crib,don’t use a blankets and pillows and dress the baby

in a one-piece sleeper. Also keep soft toys and other

objects out of the sleep area and don’t let anyone

smoke around the baby. New babies should sleep in

an area near where the parents sleep but NOT withthe parents. All these suggestions will minimize

SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

Even though electronic cigarettes are not legal for

sale in Canada, some people still use them. Oneof the problems with these devices is that there is

no regulations about what they contain besides the

liquid nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively new so

there is a lack of long-term scientic evidence to

support their safety. There still is concern that theiruse will lead to nicotine addiction.

Sometime, people who are hard of hearing don’tlet on this is so. We want to know about it. When

talking to you about a new prescription, we want to

be sure you hear the information as well as read it inthe handout. Hearing and seeing helps learning. If

your hearing isn’t great, we can always move to a

He sponsored about 80 rela-tives and friends from Germany, brought them toCanada and was able to give some of them work,in family-owned businesses like the farm andgreenhouses.

Bob was born in 1944, the youngest of three

brothers, in Redcliff, where he attended schoolfor nine years, before attending Medicine HighSchool for three years. He remembers that in 1965there was a really severe hailstorm that shatteredall the greenhouses at Redcliff, and all the roofshad to be replaced.

Following high school, Bob attended Cal PolyCollege in California, where he graduated witha B.Sc. majoring in Ornamental Horticulture in1967. Arlene’s family on her mother’s side originated

in Odessa, Russia and members of the family im-migrated to North Dakota in the early 1900’s, be-fore moving on to Saskatchewan. Her grandfathermoved to Hilda, Alta. where her mother was born.Her father, John Weber, was born in Frankfurt,Germany, and when still a baby the family movedto California, before moving to Saskatchewan.

Arlene was born in Medicine Hat in 1945, theeldest of three children. She took all her educationin Medicine Hat, then dental assistant courses atSAIT and NAIT. Bob and Arlene met in high schooland were married in 1965 in California. They hadthree children and now have three grandchildren.Bob’s brother ran the farm until he became toosick, and it was rented out thru’ 1984. This is whenBob and Arlene moved in, and continued to run itas a cattle ranch, with up to 500 head. As a hobby,they started a market garden and built greenhous-

es, where they could grow bedding plants, withcontainers and hanging baskets, etc. Following re-tirement in 2006, they sold the ranch and movedto an acreage in Namaka, and spent some of theirtime between Parksville, B.C. and Namaka.

In the fall of 2013, they returned to Strathmoreto be closer to their grandchildren, and now onlyspend a couple of months in the early fall in Parks- ville, before heading south to Yuma for the winter. Their grandchildren are now playing baseball and

other sports and Bob and Arlene support themin every way they can, which includes travellingaround the province. Their community activities include being mem-

bers of Strathmore United Church since 1984. Ar-lene has been a member of the Board for VictimServices and served on the Strathmore HospitalBoard, with a term as chairman, and she works with the Christmas Hamper Society. Bob keeps busy cutting grass at the Namaka acreage and fix-ing things that always need attention.

A six-vehicle pile up on Highway 1 near Glei-chen left two in hospital, on with serious injuries.Gleichen RCMP and County of Wheatland’s Fireand EMS crews attended to the scene, which oc-curred at 11:50 p.m. on June 28.

The collision was a result of a pick-up drivingin the wrong direction. The driver was heading west in the eastbound lane and ended up hittinganother pick-up truck driving in the oncoming di-rection. After the incident occurred, several other cars

stopped to assist those involved, when just a fewminutes later a tractor-trailer collided with theoriginal vehicles and some of those who stopped

to help. With the inevitable increase of travellerson the roads, the RCMP warns drivers to be safeto avoid further accidents.

“Give yourself lots of time,” said Sgt. JamesMcLaren from the Gleichen RCMP.

“As soon as you start rushing you start cuttingcorners and safety is usually the first thing com-promised. People must give themselves lots of

time to get where they are going. You are going toeventually get where you are heading.” At the time of print, the driver of the east bound

truck, a 38-year-old male, was still in Foothillshospital with serious injuries while the 30-year-old female of the westbound car was treated forher injuries and released from the StrathmoreHospital Monday morning. An investigation is currently ongoing.

DEREK FILDEBRANDT

Wildrose MLA for Strathmore-Brooks

On May 5th, Albertans voted for a new govern-ment led by the NDP and for a larger official op-position to hold it to account, led by the Wildrose.I promised that we would work constructively to-gether where possible, but be tough when neces-sary. We would not just oppose, but also propose.In short two weeks that the Legislative Assemblymet in June, we did both of those things. We reached out to the NDP to work together on

issues that we believed common agreement could be reached on, but fought them on issues where we will just have to disagree.

Firstly, we worked cooperatively with the NDPgovernment on Bill 1 to ban corporate and uniondonations. For far too long, the influence of bigmoney from unions and corporations has had a cor-rupting influence on politicians and political partiesin this province.

The Bill banned cash donations to parties, butstill allowed unions to donate the time of their staffto campaigns, a common practice employed to helpthe NDP. While we proposed amendments to fixthis major loophole and others, the NDP refused toaccept them. We did manage to successfully amendthe bill to limit the practice of unsecured loans toparties from corporations and unions, but most oth-er common sense amendments were rejected with-out much reason given. The government’s Bill 2 raised business taxes by

20 per cent, and raised the top marginal personalincome tax rate by 50 per cent, retroactively. Thisconstitutes the largest increase to both personal and

business taxes in the history of Alberta. While rais-ing taxes on businesses might sound good in casualconversation, it threatens to do major damage tothe economy. Alberta no longer has the most competitive busi-

ness taxes in Canada; British Columbia, Ontario andQuebec all have lower business tax rates than Al-

berta now. In the global economy, capital is highlymobile and it seeks out the most attractive place toinvest. With a 50 per cent increase to the minimum

wage, a hike to energy royalty rates, a new carbontax, higher income taxes and higher business taxes,it is hard to imagine that Alberta will be as an at-tractive target for investment in the coming years.

In an effort to take some of the bite out of thesemeasures on small businesses, I proposed anamendment to the NDP bill to reduce the small

business tax rate by one per cent. This attempt at working constructively with the NDP to ensure thatour small business owners and their employeesstay competitive was rejected, and the amendmentfailed. The only thing that the NDP is determined to

hike faster than taxes, is spending. I wrote in thesepages several weeks ago that if the NDP wantedto pass their mini-budget, that they should provideadequate detail for their spending plan and enoughtime to properly scrutinize it in the legislature. Un-fortunately, none of these requests were heeded. The mini-budget (Bill 3) authorized $18 billion

in spending, but MLAs were allowed a mere threehours to debate it. Put another way, the governmentallowed only one hour of debate for every $6 billiondollars that it just spent. Additionally, the govern-ment only provided three pages worth of details

as to how to spend the $18 billion. Suffice to say,this is extraordinarily worrisome to me and the Wil-drose Caucus. We could not let such a massive sum of money be

spent without any details or accountability, and so we stayed in the legislature debating and attempt-ing to get answers out of the NDP until after mid-night for nearly two weeks. Under questioning, theNDP managed to tell us how much of that $18 bil-lion was new and unbudgeted spending, sort of. We

were given five different numbers in the span of 24hours: $1.8 billion, $1.1 billion, $776 million, $682million and $624 million. In Question Period, theMinister of Finance finally told me that it was in the“$600 million area.” This level of clarity with such vast sums of money

does not inspire much confidence.Despite very significant differences in opinion

on many issues, both the Wildrose and NDP MLAsare happy that Alberta has entered a new era, andfriendships across party lines have already begunto develop.

My colleagues and I will continue to work help-fully with the NDP government where we can, suchas on banning corporate and union donations, but

we will also provide a tough opposition when re-quired. As it turns out, it is more often than I wouldhave liked.

In the wake of last year’s discussionssurrounding water pressure issues andoverall quality of infrastructure, towncouncil sanctioned the approval of adevelopment permit for a four-plex on121 Waddy Lane. As part of two exceeding variances

that required council’s attention on June 17, the fourplex, which is current-ly zoned R2X, or medium density at-tached housing, needed the maximumallowable density of 55 dwelling unitsper hectare to increase to 71.8 units perhectare. The decision to grant the develop-

ment permit came seven months aftercouncil received letters from Strath-more residents concerned about waterpressures and a deteriorating main-line that is scheduled to be replacedin 2017. Residents experienced issues with the pressure and even deemed

their fixtures inadequate when usedconcurrently; however after inspections

and testing by EPCOR, councillors weresatisfied that the issue, for now, was putto bed.

“I just wanted to reassure the publicthat we had addressed those water is-sues that we brought up before,” saidCouncillor Denise Peterson.

Generally pressures are detected at

60 pounds per square inch (PSI), andthe hydrants positioned at WheatlandLodge and at the intersection at WaddyLane and Wheatland Trail, were ob-served to be 50 PSI and 43 litres persecond. In November, administrationassured council the readings were ad-equate for domestic consumption. Withthe project pushing forward, adminis-tration approached council regardingthe maximum allowable density andchanges to the front property line fromsix metres to four metres. The town hadcirculated 24 letters to neighbouringresidences on May 22, informing themabout the issue of the development per-mit application coming before council

for consideration. However, the townreceived no responses before the regu-

lar council meeting two weeks ago. According to administration, by af-

fording relaxations for the front set- back, infill development and redevel-opment can be accommodated, whilealso providing space for the necessarysix off-street parking stalls at the backof the property without changing the

building design.“By pulling the building towards

the front property line we were ableto meet the parking requirement of1.5 off-street parking stalls per dwell-ing unit in full,” said Werner Fischer,director of planning and developmentfor the town. “The easiest thing to sac-rifice in order to increase density, arethe front setbacks, which is why down-town is often typically residential in-fills. We recognize, that in the past, thetown had approved four-plexes on 50foot lots.” Two lots were re-designated in No-

vember 2014, to R2X, with the intentionof building a fourplex on the property.

Projects with the intention of redevel-oping the downtown core are support-ed by the town’s Municipal Develop-ment Plan and the Downtown OverlayDistrict. The Downtown Design ReviewCommittee (DDRC), also supported theexterior design and finishing materials.

“We don’t believe that granting therelaxation will unduly affect the ameni-ties of the neighbourhood or the use,enjoyment, or value of neighbouringproperties, and we believe the approvalis consistent with policy direction provided by the Municipal DevelopmentPlan,” Fischer added.

Because the development officer mayonly grant relaxations up to 25 percent, council was required to address

the issue, and approved the develop-ment permit application with condi-tions attached.

Aaron Krogman, a Rosebud

graduate who performed inRosebud Theatre’s Diary of

Anne Frank, Barefoot in thePark, and May and Joe, plays

Jesus for the third time in the2015 Badlands Passion Play.

Krogman joined the Pas-sion Play in 2011 as the Jesusunderstudy – ready to step inif the actor was unable to per-form. He took over the mainrole in 2013. “It’s kind ofhumbling,” he said. “I’m notgoing to be able to representevery single person’s versionof Jesus. ... We’re just trying totell a story the best we can.”

The uniqueness of thatstory has kept Krogman com-ing back. “The scale is hugerthan any other show I’ve hadthe opportunity to be a partof,” he said. “The content isunique as well. It’s such animportant story in that it hasall kinds of impact on today,in the modern context.”

Even after five years, thescript hasn’t gotten old.“There’s been little tweaks inthe script that have stream-lined it,” he said. “I’m reallyexcited for the chance to goat it again with the insightof four years, and the insight

that the directors have hadtoo. ... It constantly gets bet-ter and better, and really, thefifth year is kind of The Ver-sion.” The Passion Play will in-

troduce a new script in 2016.Krogman is also moving on,taking a Master’s degree atRegent College. “It’s a degreein Christianity and the Artsand that intersection, and it’sreally become hugely inter-

esting to me,” he said. “That’sone impact being part of thePassion Play has had on me.It’s given me a hunger to en-gage in that (discussion).”

After the degree, he’ll mayexplore teaching, film work,directing theatre, and writ-ing for stage and film, buthe’ll miss many things aboutthe Passion Play. “I’m goingto miss this family. It’s suchan amazing community thatmakes this thing possible,”he said. “There’s been a lot offriendships and working rela-tionships that have had quitea bit of time to develop and toestablish.”

He’ll also miss the “sizeand scope and spectacle” ofthe story, which, he said, is agreat reason to come see theshow even if we aren’t inter-ested in the religious aspectsof the story.

“It’s just amazing to sit inan amphitheatre with 2,500people and watch 200 people

be choreographed on a five-acre set. Where else are yougoing to see that?” he asked.“It’s like climbing a mountain.It gives this perspective that

you couldn’t have gotten anyother way.”

On the other hand, “If you want to come because you want to have a fresh take within the context of your

personal relationship with Jesus, that’s a great reason(too),” he said.

“We’re not just telling aChristian story for Christians,”he said. “We’re just trying totell a story the best we can.” The 2015 Canadian Bad-

lands Passion Play presentsnine weekend shows inDrumheller, July 10 to 26. Gettickets at canadianpassion-play.com or 1-888-823-2001.

Aaron Krogmancelebrates third andfinal year in Jesus role

final year as Jesus. The show starts on July 10 and will run until July 26.

MIRIAM OSTERMANN


The absence of an area structureplan and conceptual scheme for landsannexed in 2010 had council amendthe Land Use Bylaw by introducing adistrict overlay to accommodate the is-suance of a development permit for anRV and mini storage area – an actionaccompanied with a degree of limita-tions keeping future development inthe forefront. While the Municipal Development

Plan (MDP) foresees lands located be-tween Wildflower Road to the east andthe town boundary to the west under-going development for highway com-mercial development, the reclassifica-tion of a 4.2- acre property located atthe corner of HWY 1 and Range Road

254 currently lacks consistency withthe MDP. The plan clearly communicates that

no reclassification or developmentto the annexed lands take place untilthe creation of an Area Structure Plan(ASP) or the adoption of a ConceptualScheme. Therefore, designating landsfor highway commercial development, which the applicant had requested, isposing a concern. However, admin-istration was in support of reclassify-ing the land, which is currently zoned Agriculture General District, if certainrequirements and a permit with a five- year expiry date be considered under

a proposed Overlay District – supple-menting or modifying the arrange-ments of the parent district.

“I can see this being there for 10

or 15 years, but you never know wecould have someone buy those quartersections and decide that they’re goingto do something major,” said WernerFischer, director of planning and development for the Town of Strathmore.“The overlay, as proposed, allows us todeal with pertinent issues, and allowsthe development to proceed. [It] alsoproposes that all of those uses will bediscretionary uses rather than permit-ted uses.

“This allows us to do two things. Itgives us a little more flexibility in add-ing relevant conditions to the develop-ing permit. It also enables us to issuea development permit for a limited pe-

riod of time.” Administration proposed eight con-siderations for council’s rumination on June 17. Such considerations included:the RV and mini-storage proposal shallnot require water or sewer services; will be used for discretionary uses –such as mini or self storage, outdoorstorage, signs, and accessory buildingsand uses; may be considered a tempo-rary or transitional use until servicesare available; and if future subdivi-sion is proposed, then off-site levies, boundary conditions, reserves and re-lated matters will be considered.

Council was assured that the permit

would be subject to a time limit of five years, after which a review will be con-ducted to re-issue the permit for thesame or alternate time period with or

without conditions.During the regular council meet-

ing, some councillors were concernedabout the aesthetics of the proposeddevelopment as well as oil and gaso-line leaks.

“My only concern is that it is alongthe highway and it is so high profile,”said Councillor Denise Peterson. “I justthink that adding to the stellar viewcoming in from Strathmore in the west would be good, so doing somethingdifferent would be useful. And thislooks good.”

Staff did acknowledge the issue, and will ensure that the site will be devel-oped in an attractive manner. A 6.4 me-

tre area on the front of the property line will be landscaped, while the trees atthe west end will be maintained. Plac-ing the RVs in front of the mini-storage,or sea cans, was also proposed.

Fischer also commented on the twomost common problems: rodents andspills. However, he mentioned it is ad-dressed when the development permitis issued and the details hashed out. With the absence of Councillor Steve

Grajczyk, who left due to a conflict ofinterest, Councillor Rocky Blokland,and Councillor Bob Sobol, town coun-cil approved second and third readingfor the Land Use Bylaw amendment.

When Wayne Stadler started the ‘Pay it Forward’ projectthree years ago, the aim was to provide people with beauti-ful professional photos without the cost attached.

His goal was to offer the service for people who couldn’totherwise afford it.

“It was kind of getting to the point where it was almostaddicting to make people that happy,” said Stadler.

Fotos Forward hoping to ‘gift’ more memories“I thought if I could do that for a few days at

a festival, why can’t I do that for people that ac-tually may have something to celebrate but can’tafford do it.” The idea stemmed from the Burning Man festi-

val, which takes place in Nevada in late summerevery year, but Stadler was unable to attend in2012.

But it was thereafter at Black Rock City that helearned the 10 ethics about Burning Man and oneof the principles that piqued his interest in thisproject was ‘gifting’.

“I didn’t want to be a ‘tourist’ my first time there,so I started thinking of something I could gift tomy fellow burners,” said Stadler.

“I eventually settled on a gift of photography.”Stadler is going off the word of mouth to get

more business out about the project and will onlystop in a town once.

He scheduled himself into Strathmore a coupleof weeks but unfortunately did not get any inter-

est, but hopes maybe if he gets promoted in thearea that he will get a better turnout.

“I might add it back to the list possibly in Sep-tember or sooner if I happen to get bunch of inter-est,” said Stadler. The business is accompanied by many struggles

in regards to promotion, and Stadler is planningon focusing more on his photography, while keep-

ing the project as a side job until he can gain moretraction.

“I do a lot of abandoned fine arts stuff like oldfields, cars, barns and that sorts of stuff,” he said.

“This was going to be a side project that I coulddo two or three days a week, a different town ev-ery week, and take it along with me but becausethe crowd funding thing isn’t going so well, I’mholding off and saving more money and kind ofgo out and do my art, I’ll do this as opportunitiesarise.”

Youth Club gearing up for summer funrounding area and on Fri-days, the youth will be do-ing community service.

“We have our own busthis year and we’ve pur-chased the bus and so that’smaking it easier for us togo and do different activi-ties,” said Hannah Magee,the Youth Club’s ProgramCoordinator and Outreach worker.

The focus this summer will be to have more or-ganized team-orientatedevents involving both in-door and outdoor activities.

“Whether that’s going

to Canmore, or going ona hike, or going to the hotsprings, or going rollerblad-ing, or going to a movie orgoing shopping. We’re go-ing to try and do somethingevery week for teams,” saidMagee.

She is hoping that all thekids will just have fun withall the activities that are be-

ing provided to them overthe summer months.“That’s what we’re here

for is to make an exciting week and help them to findnew friends,” said Magee.

“We want to make it a safeand fun environment and tointeract with each other.” The summer camps will

have some short weeks that will cost $80, and $100 fornon-members.

For a full week it will be$100 for members and $120for non-members and fees will include covering thecost for the activities on that

certain day and transporta-tion.

Summer Camp will beginon June 29 and run from 9a.m. to 5 p.m. from Mondayto Friday.

NOW OFFERING EQUILIBRATED DENTURES

MIRIAM OSTERMANN


The village of Standard experienced asurge of phone calls from residents last week, after severe demands for waterplaced extreme pressures on the watertreatment plant and plunged the 380resident-strong village in an alreadymonth-long water-ban.

Standard issued the water ban on June 9, after the high demand result-ed in water leaving the reservoir fasterthan could be replenished from the ir-rigation canal. At the peak of consump-tion 1000 litres per minute left the res-ervoir while only 700 litres per minute were produced. The high temperaturesalso warmed the water creating prob-lems with Algae and causing difficultyin treating the water. With stresses onthe system, Standard residents wereforced to conserve their water and ad-here to the ban – dropping consump-tion to 150 to 200 litres per minute.

“Once we put that water ban on, theconsumption dropped dramatically,”said Leah Jensen, CAO for the village

of Standard.“We’re still trying to play catch-up in

filling our reservoir and we were alsorunning into some technical difficulties

with our water plant, that we are stillcurrently dealing with.” While Jensen added that residents

understood the predicament for themost part, she noticed an increase inphone calls being placed to the villagelast week. With extreme temperatures, water usage spiked, once again forcingthe village to play catch-up.

“There were some places that were watering 24 hours in the heat of the day,and the demand was just astronomical,” Jensen said. “The more people do notcomply with the water ban, the longerthe ban will be on, and the longer ittakes us to deal with the issues.”

Standard residents are asked to re-frain from any outdoor watering, con-serve as much water as possible, and be smart with their water-use. Thisincludes watering of grass, trees, andfilling pools and hot-tubs. The ban alsoincludes bulk water, while people whorequire bulk water for consumption will continue be able to purchase it. Inconcurrence, Standard also issued a fire ban for the area.

The water ban is currently still in ef-

fect and will remain so for the foresee-able future. Residents were warned thatthe village will be forced into a com-plete water ban, if compliance is scant.

No end in sight for Standard water ban

and play.Stewart-Brown’s decision on choos-

ing the play category was based on itspossibility of encompassing numeroussports. Judges will have their say, andthen the public can vote for the finalistonline.

“Really it was pretty easy to do thenomination part of it,” Stewart-Brown

said.“We are all on board, we want to see

it. Everybody wants to know when theycan vote, I’m like you can’t vote until

we make it to the finals.” She identified that with recreational

activities being popular in these towns,that, they want to see the new East

Wheatland School’s gym accommodatemore than just a single class at a timeand be able to host an event on the big-ger stage, such as provincial volleyballand basketball tournaments.

“We just said with the amount ofsports that we want to offer in theschool that we don’t have anymore,

we don’t have sports teams going to

tournaments because we lost our highschool,” she said.

“We want to get that back for the kidsand having this gym be larger. We havethe opportunity to host provincials andhave intramurals with all the communi-ties to have the ability to have a partakein whether it’s adult volleyball or stuff

we currently don’t have.”

She outlined specifically the squarefootage that they had to work with inthe gym where they will use the money. The money would go towards the

gym’s retractable bleachers and thespecial flooring to support them, whilethe funds will also go towards a properscore clock, backboards, and athletes’seating. The total cost of the gym is $500,000,

and the possible winnings could coverhalf the costs. The East Wheatland Committee has

raised $180,000, and $111,000 of that isdedicated to the gym. The finalists will be announced on

July 26.

The 22nd Canadian Rockies International Rodeo, lo-cally known as the gay rodeo, returned to Strathmoreand it was bigger and better than ever.

Many tents and trailers pulled up into the ag groundsfor the weekend-long event that featured costumes, adifferent spin on rodeo events, and this year saw thelikes of prominent musicians LeAnn Rimes and GeorgeCanyon hit the stage. Jason Baker, President of the Alberta Rockies Gay

Rodeo Association (ARGRA) previously discussed thegroup’s intentions of creating an even more excitingevent. While the event celebrates gender equality,some of the money raised will also be donated backinto charities of the organization’s choosing.

“We do the best we can do so that we can help chari-ties and so we can have another rodeo next year,” saidBaker.

Ninety-two registered contestants competed in calfroping, barrel racing, bull riding and pole bending, as

well as some unconventional events including steerdecorating, wild drag, and goat dressing. Baker attri-

butes much of the success to the contestants that, hesaid, have created a rodeo family that contributed tothe success by setting up the events.

Coming out to the event were people from acrossCanada, the United States and as far away as Australia.Many of the horses also came from the United States,

while the cattle were made available by cattle produc-er Doug Richardson, who has supplied the cattle forthe past 22 years. Although the rodeo is the main component of the

event, it was the music performances that had every-one eagerly anticipating this year. With two stages for the music acts, visitors were sure

to be entertained throughout the day. The first stage was located by the grandstand and

allowed for up-and-coming bands to showcase them-selves during the day.

Farther away on the ag grounds, the star-studdedlineup performed later in the evening. While some acts

were made up from country royalty Tim Hicks, LeAnn

Rimes and Kira Isabella, others came out for the catchytunes from the Village People or the performances ofpopular Calgary drag queens Carly’s Angels.

Patrons were also privy to a midway lined with foodtrucks, including the Peanut Butter Cupboard and Beef

Wings. The Rosebud Theatre and Kits Ranch also hadtheir representatives stationed on the grounds.

Following the events, the Tornado Nightclub, a newaddition, invited spectators from the concerts to con-tinue the party.

Despite all the planning and support from the ce-lebrities, local businesses, and local law enforcementand fire services, the attendance was not what ARGRA

was hoping for. Although close to 5,000 people wereexpected, the rodeo only had about 1,000 people inthe grandstands. While this is a record breaker for thisrodeo, with attendance this year the largest in approxi-mately eight years, more people from the town wereexpected to show support. This is the third year in their three-year contract with

Strathmore and they are already planning what to donext.

The six Strathmore Venom lacrosseteams that participated in the annualCanada Day tournament in Calgaryall played hard and really enjoyed thehype around the biggest event of theirlacrosse season.

Strathmore Lacrosse President, ChrisIversen, has nothing but great things tosay about his team’s work ethic in sucha massive tournament with many unfa-miliar foes.

“Our bantam B is doing really well,they’re probably going to make theplayoffs,” said Iversen.

“All the teams I’ve seen so far, they’ve been playing well, they didn’t get the

scores they’ve wanted on the score-

board.”He added that the competition was

tough, especially with several teams atthe tournament being tiered at a certainlevel that gave the Venom teams differ-ent attacks to work against.

“I think our kids, they play up to thatlevel and it makes for a more entertain-ing game. I think they have more fun atit,” he said. The Strathmore teams looked for-

ward to the different competition, asthey do not see many of them in theregular season.

“The style of play is different, de-pending on where they play too,” saidIversen.

“A lot of the American teams comefrom a big field background and field

players are amazing stick handlers. Butnot so much in the corners, guys thatplay box like to play a physical game inthe corners, they like to beat them upa little bit.”

WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE

Introduction - Choices govern

life. When we were children

choices were made for us, but

as we grow up we take more

and more responsibility for our

choices.

One of the most important

truths in life is that choices

have consequences. The

choices your parents made

for you and the choices you

make for yourself govern theoutcomes of your life because

choices rule your life.

In Deuteronomy 30:15–16&19;

the Bible says “See, I have set

before you today life and good,

death and evil, 16 in that I

command you today to love the

LORD your God, to walk in His

ways, and to keep His com-

mandments, His statutes, and

His judgments, that you may

live and multiply; and the LORD

your God will bless you in the

land which you go to possess.

19 I call heaven and earth as

witnesses today against you,

that I have set before you

life and death, blessing andcursing; therefore choose life,

that both you and your descen-

dants may live.

God has given us the freedom

to choose the lives we want.

We can serve Him or sneer

at Him. We can choose live in

sin or live in righteousness.

We can choose be lazy or

hardworking. We can choose

to waste our gifts or use them

productively. We can choose

the blessing or the curse. It’s

all in our power. We choose

the life we want and face itsconsequences. Before you

blame someone for your life,

take time to consider the

choices you’ve been making in

the last ten years of your life.

Today, think deeply about your

life. Consider the choices you

make and think about the con-

sequences of your choices. In

Christ Jesus alone, there is life,

divine direction and all hope is

found. Choose Life!

I pray that the Holy Spirit will

help you make the right choic-

es for yourself, your marriage,

your children and career in

Jesus name.

The CFR Chemicals Bisons have named AdamRedmond their new head coach starting this up-coming season.

Redmond, who recently coached the CalgaryBuffaloes midget triple-A program for five sea-sons, has a distinctive coaching background ashe had stints as head coach of the Calgary Bronks bantam triple-A team, where he won the Coach ofthe Year award, and prior to that was an assistantcoach with the AJHL’s Olds Grizzlys. The decision to come to a quality organization

like Bisons was a good fit for him and his family.“I wanted to be a part of a good organization,”

said Redmond.“The Buffs treated me really well. I think it was

time for a change on both sides, I’d been therefor five years as their major midget coach, priorto my fifth season of taking it over, they had toldme it would be my last year.” The change could not have come at a better

time, as he wants a program where there is amore team-oriented approach.

“Just the type of kids they have there, it’s theattitude and that is more focused on individualsuccess,” said Redmond.

“I’m looking to be somewhere where I can cre-ate a program based on team and teamwork andthat kind of atmosphere. It was something wehad at UNB, it was not the success of individuals,it was team success and that’s what really createsit.”

The former Fort McMurray Oil Baron all-timeleading goal scorer and the University of NewBrunswick Reds standout is hoping to take hisoccupation as an on-ice development instruc-tor at SKILLZ in Calgary and transform his tech-

niques into the players’ success.“I feel that’s one of my strong points as well,

systems and stuff,” said Redmond.“That’s something that can definitely help in

games and help people succeed.”He will be relying on the players who will be

coming back from the Telus Cup run to lead theteam by example with their work ethics and com-municate with the younger players to pick up

their pace.Number one on Redmond’s offseason list will be to solidify his coaching staff and come up witha game plan that will lead to success.

Bison General Manger Wayne Hansen saw Red-mond as the worthy candidate because of how hecan help players have great careers.

“We’re here to develop kids to not just moveon to be junior players but to be very good juniorplayers and with Adam I think we have that,” saidHansen.

“He’s developed many (players that have goneon to have) successful careers and drafted intothe NHL.”

Hansen added that being an experienced coachin a difficult league helped in the process of hir-ing Redmond. The Bisons are currently looking to fill the va-

cant announcing position while more game-day volunteers are needed to help out.

If you are interested in any of those positions, you are asked to contact Hansen at (403) 689-3752 or [email protected].

Obituaries COCKX, Heather(nee Fawkes) February 27, 1948 –

June 25, 2015

Family and Friends are deeply saddened by the loss

of Heather (Fawkes) Cockx on June 25, 2015 after

a courageous battle with leukemia. She was an

exceptional woman, treasured wife, mother, grand-

mother, sister and friend. Heather Louise was bornFebruary 27, 1948 in Calgary, AB to parents William

and Yvonne Fawkes. She spent her childhood grow-

ing up in Namaka until Grade 2 at which time the

family moved to Strathmore, AB. On May 3, 1969,

Heather married her high school sweetheart, Dale

Cockx from Strathmore. They bought a ¼ section

of land south of Strathmore, and this became their

paradise. Heather was a passionate gardener and

enjoyed the countless hours beautifying their yard.

She is lovingly remembered for her genuine smile

and warm hospitable manner that she shared with

everyone she met. Always the “go to” person –

she was our pillar of strength. Her pride and joy

was the “PACK”, her four beautiful grandchildren;

Parker, Aidan, Connor and K arson, who she adored

and loved deeply. They learned so much about

kindness and the goodness of human spirit from

their Grandma Heather. Heather is recently prede-

ceased by her mother, Yvonne and father, William

(Bill). She is survived by her devoted husband of46 years, Dale; her two sons, Darren (Krista) and

Scott (Renae); 4 grandsons, Parker, Aidan, Connor,

Karson; her sister Monica (Mike) Monner from Milo;

and many friends and family. Our sincere appre-

ciation and gratitude is extended to all the caring

physicians, nurses and staff at the Peter Lougheed

Hospita l and Tom Baker Cancer Center. A special

thank you to Dr. Lategan and Dr. Geddes, all the

nurses in the Treatment room especially Noreen

and Susan who compassionately oversaw her care

for the last 10 years. Heather and her family thank

everyone for their thoughts, prayers and friendship

over the many years. You were very dear to her

and we thank you for being a part of her life. A Cel-

ebration of Life will be held on Thursday, July 2,

2015 at the Carseland Community Hall at 2pm. In

lieu of flowers, kindly consider a donation directly

to the Cheadle Lions Club Hospice Fund (Box 22

Site 3 RR1, Strathmore, AB T1P 1J6). To send con-

dolences, please visit Heather’s obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca

Obituaries RUMOHR, Kim Stuart August 23, 1951 – June 27, 2015

It is with great sadness that we share

the news of the death of our beloved

husband, father, grandfather and friend Kim Ru-

mohr. Kim was born in Calgary and grew up there

before moving to Qualicum Beach on beautiful

Vancouver Island with his family. He spent a brief

time in Vancouver before heading back to Alberta

to run the family farm on the hill near Standard.Kim enjoyed his life on the farm and was also able

to enjoy his other passion of cars and car racing.

Kim always lived his life to the fullest on his own

terms and enjoyed every moment. Kim was pre-

deceased by his father Hugh and his mother Elaine

both of whom he loved dearly. He is survived by

his wife Gina, his son Kji (Dianne), granddaughter

Kaitlyn and his sister Erin (Stephen) and her family.

At Kim’s request there will not be a funeral but if

friends wish they may make a donation directly to

your local SPCA in his memory. To send condo-

lences, please visit Kim’s obituary at www.wheat-

JUSTIN SEWARD

Times Reporter

The Strathmore Spurs U12B soccerteam is feeling good about themselvesthese days, as they are 7-0 on the sea-son after thrashing West Hills United ofCalgary 6-0 on Sunday afternoon at the

Ranch.Head Coach Mark Shorhen has seen a

real bond amongst the players and hasnoticed it in the older players helpingout the inexperienced ones.

“The guys have really come out oftheir shells, they’re really getting intothe play more,” said Shorhen.

“The older guys have played really well with them, getting them involvedin the plays.”

His focus as a coach for the group isto pick out flaws on the field and make

sure the players correct their mistakesand work through them for the nexttime that they are on the pitch.

“That’s always how I’ve coached andthey seem to listen,” said Shorhen.

“The new ones, the first couple ofgames, are kind of scared, until I ex-plain to them that I’m a very loud coach.

If they don’t hear my voice, they’ll un-derstand their doing something good.” Aside from being the U12 B’s coach,

he is also the president of StrathmoreSoccer and said the other teams hadgreat years.

“They’ve all played pretty well, we’vetiered them properly where they’veneeded to be,” said Shorhen The association could use some more

volunteers for next season, and coulduse more experience at the coachingposition.
