Strathmore town council proclaimed their sup-port for the relief efforts and the evacuees ofFort McMurray, where an unforgiving infernohas claimed the homes of several thousand peo-ple and caused the evacuation of approximately80,000 residents while continuing to spread toneighbouring communities. Although various Alberta communities, in-

cluding Strathmore, have held fundraisers, col-lected donations, and even travelled north, thedevastating situation prompted council to directadministration to bring back terms of referencefor a task force, on May 4, and emphasize thecontinued need for monetary donations to theRed Cross.

“The current situation that’s transpiring up inFort McMurray and Wood Buffalo is somewhattroublesome to me,” said Councillor Brad Walls,a former fireman who raised the issue in councilchambers at the regular council meeting.

“Obviously the biggest thing that we can do forthese people right now is supply the Red Cross.

They really need funds up there. Being on thefront lines in Carseland a number of years ago,

you really gain the appreciation for what the menand women in uniform are doing for these peo-ple at this time. It’s a very serious situation.” Walls further acknowledged the breakneck

evacuation, the other hundreds of fires the prov-ince was forced to control, and the work pro-

vided by over 200 firefighters.Other council members echoed the concerns

and suggested taking on an active role to indi-cate the town’s support, not only for the resi-dents of Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo, but

also those who call Strathmore home.“Many of those oilfield workers live here in

Strathmore and work up there, and I think it’sgoing to affect them short-term and long-termand I would like to give them some sort of sup-port,” said Councillor Steve Grajczyk.

“I know back when Brooks had trouble withtheir slaughter house with all their meat, we diddonate to the Red Cross there… and I think be-cause there’s a lot of people that pay taxes herein Strathmore, we should be doing the samething for the Red Cross out there.

“There’s not only the short-term immediateprogram here, there’s the long-term of clean upof everything else. This is a disaster that affectseveryone in the province on a long big scale.”

Canadians may need to rethink their risk management!

Do you need Life Insurance?

In a recent study conducted by theLife Insurance and Market ResearchAssociation, it revealed only 38% of

Canadians own personal lifeinsurance. They also reported that 68%

of Canadians admit to having noinsurance or that they are under

insured. These studies concluded that Canadians rely heavily on group

benefits for their family’s insuranceprotections which are often much less than most people’s insurance needs.

As employment status changes,

so will your coverage…

Only a year after 22-year-old BaileeSimonin decided to break her person-al barriers and take to the stage at theMiss Calgary competition, where she won first runner-up, the Strathmorelocal grasped the title when she wascrowned 2016 Miss Calgary on May 14.

Born and raised in Strathmore, Simo-nin initially signed on with Patti Falcon-er Agencies for modeling roughly three years ago, where she received constantnudges to partake in pageantry. Em- bracing the challenge, Simonin decidedto step out of her comfort zone, prac-ticed public speaking, and zipped upher evening gown to stand beside 65other contestants - representing theirrespective regions - at last year’s MissUniverse Canada. While she did notplace within the Top 10, Simonin im-pressed the judges with her interviewresponses, knowledge of Calgary andtechnique at the 2015 Miss Calgarycompetition, and awarded her the firstrunner-up position. With nothing to lose, Simonin once

again faced off against eight other pag-

eant hopefuls last weekend.“I never originally started out saying I want to try pageants,” said the Calgaryroyalty.

“You’re stepping out of your comfort

zone and that’s when you really startto grow as a person and you try thingsthat might scare you, but when you ac-complish it you get up on stage andthat wave of relief when you’re donedefinitely builds your confidence.” The Miss Calgary competition was

Simonin’s third pageant, and she rec-ognized experience asa contributing factorto her recent success.Knowledge of the pro-cess, preparation, andnot memorizing heranswers to the ques-tions beforehand mayalso have played a partin her getting the title,she said.

Overall, however,she noticed the mostchange in herself.

“I think throughoutthe year, I’ve really dis-covered a lot about my-self,” she added.

“When I look back acouple years ago, did Ithink that I’d be confident enough todo it? Maybe not. But now definitely…

and it gets better each time that you doit. It’s good for the youth to try thingsthat not everyone is doing. Don’t be just ordinary, try something out of theordinary.”

Having been crowned this year’s MissCalgary, Simonin is already becomingaware of the responsibilities associ-ated with her new position. Althoughshe is looking forward to making anappearance and taking part in the Cal-gary Stampede pancake breakfast, theCalgary Meals on Wheels Great Pie

Chuck and Chomp, andthe Lilac Festival, herroots and the last eight years working at the lo-cal Boston Pizza haveher exploring volunteer work and becoming involved in local eventsas well.

She also recently joined the StrathmoreLadies’ Auxiliary - hergrandmother has beena member of the Strath-more Royal CanadianLegion Branch 10 forover 60 years – andhopes to get involved with the Make a WishFoundation, Calgary’s

Children’s Hospital and the CanadianCancer Society.

Simonin is unable to take part in MissCalgary in the future, now that she has won the title, but is adamant aboutcompeting for the Miss Universe Cal-gary title again in a few years’ time.

Safe sun-exposure can prevent skin cancer

appearing in the future. Use your sunscreen

whenever you are going out in the sun for prolonged

periods of time. If you normally burn in 10 minutes

without sunscreen, using a sunscreen with a SPF 30,

you will have 300 minutes of protection providing

the lotion is reapplied if you sweat a lot or swim.

Reapplication is very important for good protection.

June is Brain Injury Month in Canada. One of

the important facts Brain Injury Canada wants to

emphasize is that a concussion is a brain injury. The

image of the skull being a container for a lump of

Jello® is a very vivid and apt picture to keep in mindwhen taking part in risky contact sport activities.

It is really important to protect this lump to avoid

complications that could last a lifetime.

Marinating meat before babecuing seems to

reduce the risk of cancer-causing compounds called

heterocycl ic amines. Avoiding heavily charred meat

will reduce this risk as well.

Read carefully those colourful labels pharmacists

put on your prescription bottles. An important one at

this time of year is: You should AVOID prolonged

or excessive exposure to direct and/or artifcial

SUNLIGHT while taking this medication. This

means the drug you are taking may cause a skin

rash, itching, burning or stinging sensation when

your skin is exposed to the sun. Our pharmacists

will discuss this with you if your drug is a concern.

We will ensure you get the right information on

each prescription we fll.

Times Intern

Fun, dedicated and the voice of Brent- wood Elementary School are some of the ways staff and friends use to describeLaurie Huntley, who at the end of theschool year will retire from an almost40-year-long career in education.

“There came a time,” said Huntley,principal of Brentwood ElementarySchool. “In the past year I just got twolovely grandchildren, I just decided to

work less and play more. I think I amstill going to stay connected in various

ways to education.”Huntley began her career teaching

in Rockyford where she found herselfunder the mentorship of two teachers,Ken and Grace Wong. She eventually ap-plied for the associate principal positionat Brentwood in 1989, because of theadvice of one of her mentors, Dr. GaryMcKinnon, then Golden Hills School Dis-trict Superintendent. In 1998 she becamethe principal of the elementary schooland has poured her passion and person-

ality into the school.“She has always put the school and the

students and the staff first before her-self,” said Shaunna Muenchrath, a secre-tary for the school who has worked withHuntley for nearly 14 years.

“She is very dedicated to the school.She ate bugs for the school, she has beenduct-tapped to the wall twice for fund-raising for the school and she campedout on the school roof one night then

woke up in the morning and sprayed thekids with a water gun.”

Her jokes and pranks may be one ofher lasting legacies but so is the care anddedication she had for the students thathave come through the school’s doors.

Brentwood bids adieu to beloved principal

A passion for education and a love forchildren got her into the field, but theyhave continued to be the force for her todo all the things she has done to improvethe school and push the students to bethe best they can be. Under her adminis-tration, Brentwood and its students haveundergone many changes. These chang-es are the most exciting parts of Hunt-ley’s job, and will be the hardest part toleave behind. However, she knows thatnow it the time for her to move on to thenext phase of her life where she hopes

to indulge in some of the hobbies shehasn’t had much time for, such as play-ing golf or reading late into the evening.

Yet she hopes to stay involved perhapscoming back to sub because she missesthe students, or perhaps one day becom-ing a trustee as she believes this will beone way she can continue to ensure thestudents of Brentwood have the bestpossible start for the future.

Laurie Motley, one of the teachers who worked with Huntley for roughly30 years and, who has been on the re-ceiving end of many of her pranks said:“We will miss her and there is going to

be a huge gap in our school when sheis gone.”

Laurie Huntley, Brentwood Elementary’s lovable

and caring principal, will soon be retiring.

WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE?

A part of the answer lies in the fact that a just and perfect God could

not simply sweep sin under thecarpet and go on running a perfect

universe. God must deal with theinjustice of sin. Suppose a criminalshould come before a judge and that

judge would simply excuse a crimeof murder, rape, or theft simply be-

cause the judge loved the criminal.What would society think of such a

judge?The Bible says: “Shall not the Judge

of all the earth do right?” (Genesis

18:25). Selfishness has a naturalconsequence that eventually resultsin death to the innocent (Romans.6:23). Jesus, the Judge, assumed the

consequence of sin on the part ofman, rather than inflict death upon

the sinner. That consequence wasdeath.

How does Jesus’ death save us?Martin Luther said that as God, He

could not die, so He became manin order to die. On the cross, heaccepted the sin of man against

Himself. As a perfectly innocent manhe accepted the injustice of man

against man.The death of Christ accomplishes

reconciliation, or reconnecting usback to God. Romans 3:25 says, “...

whom God set forth to be a propitiation” for our sins. “Propitiation”

literally means “something thatappeases a deity.”However, in the Biblical sense it

means much more than this. It can

mean to “accept hurt,” to “forgive,”

to “show mercy.” As sinners we transgress God’s perfect law and

have no legal right to exist. But GodHimself, who sits as Judge accepts

the hurt, pays the price, forgives, andoffers mercy.If a husband should say a harsh

word against his wife, and the wifedoes not retaliate, but lets the word

fall upon her heart and crush herspirit; if she forgives and treats her

husband as though he had offeredonly words of praise she pays the

price of his sin against him.

It is this way that God pays the priceof our salvation. The Bible does notsay that Jesus paid propitiation, but that He is a propitiation for our sins

(Rom. 3:25, 1 John 2:2; 4:10). Thismeans that He, being God, bears

the hurt in order to give mercy andforgiveness.

Sinners may receive this justificationand become safe to save (Romans

5:17)! Repentance comes as we seehow our sins treated Christ (Acts5:31). When we confess our sins and

ask Him to remove sin from our lives,He will give us power to become

safe to save (1 John 1:9, John 3, 1John 3:9). As we receive this salva-

tion we will seek forgiveness from those we have wronged and live a

life of love by His power.

May the Lord bless you abundantly! Pastor Donald Pierre

Celebrating its 20-year anniversary, the Alberta Youth Entrepreneurship Camp (AYEC) is offering60 teenagers from south and central Alberta, in-cluding four local individuals, the opportunity to

become business savvy and awaken their entre-preneurial frame of mind.

Every year, the complimentary camp – a Com-munity Futures initiative – provides those 13 to15 years of age with a one-week entrepreneurial-

based camp to provide the education of businesstraining with a summer camp environment. Ziplining and horseback riding aside, the camp chal-lenges the participants to take on a leadershiprole, build teamwork, develop a business, and cre-ate a product to be sold at a market at the end ofthe camp.

“The big benefit will be to learn entrepreneur-ship, economic development, and growing our

rural communities,” said Wendy Gerbrandt, com-munity economic development coordinator.

“That’s the key point. We want our kids to come back and start businesses, so the more we can build that entrepreneurial spirit up, the better weare.”

In the past, the experience required the youthsto build up their capital, devise a product, and col-laborate together with mentors – participants whohave taken part in the camp in previous years. Last

year, six students applied for the four spots withCommunity Futures Wildrose, and Gerbrandt ex-pects to have a good mix in applications of thosenew to the camp and those who have visited thecamp before again this year.

Campers will also be exposed to guest speak-ers and participate in workshops, which will teachthe components of a business plan, advertising,record keeping, marketing, and cash-flow. Aftersplitting up into teams to come up with a businessidea, they will meet with suppliers and bankers,

Councillor Denise Peterson agreed with Councillor Grajczyk on the no-tion of working together with thepeople in our community and in-quired about a standing committee -or task force – for moving forward ina supportive mode. According to administration, the

town received a direct request fromFort McMurray looking for disas-ter social services assistance for the80,000 people currently displaced. The assistance would be directed tothe centres where the residents foundshelter, not Wood Buffalo or Fort Mc-Murray, council was assured.

Currently, two members of admin-istration – one of them Deputy CAOLinda Nelson – are already registered with the Provincial Disaster SocialServices. To further voice Strathmore’s sup-

port and allegiance, Strathmore may-or Michael Ell made an attempt tocontact the Fort McMurray Mayor Me-lissa Blake to no avail two weeks ago.

“We have an amazing province, aprovince that wants to get out thereand make sure that we can help oneanother,” said Mayor Michael Ell.“There are many people that have been displaced and I understandthat Suncor and Shell have evacuatedmany of their workers that are living

in camps so the citizens of Fort Mc-Murray have a place. There are manythings going on in the province andif there’s any way you can assist …they’re going to need help and assis-

tance and all sorts of things. Keep them in your prayers and

thoughts.”In a combined effort over the weekend, Strathmore and

Brooks were able to raise over $75,000 in cash donationsand deliver 55 pallets of supplies to the devastated area.Strathmore residents have also housed several Fort McMur-ray families and gathered clothing and donations that werethen delivered up north.

Council voted in favour of directing administration to bring back terms of reference for a task force to town council assoon as possible.

and build their product or service. Any profits left over fromthe market, after paying back the business loans, will beevenly split between the team members.

In partnership with the Alberta Human Services, the Al- berta Lottery Fund, Community Futures offices in southand central Alberta, and the Rotary Clubs of District 5360,the camp, which is located at Eagles Nest Ranch in CypressHills, is free of charge for those four individuals selected toparticipate. The camp will run Aug. 14-20 with a deadlinefor applications on June 15. For more information contact

Since 2009, Hope Community Covenant Church’s(HCCC) “School Fuel” has provided a nutritious

breakfast to an estimated 350 children every day. The local, non-profit program was founded by

HCCC’s former Children’s Ministry Director Chris-tin Dewald who asked surrounding schools if there

was a way that the church could serve them. Fromtheir recommendations, School Fuel was formed toprovide breakfast for students who may not receive

breakfast at home or would strongly benefit fromsome extra sustenance to aid in a successful schoolday.

“If they have something in their tummy versusif they’re hungry, they’re focussing on the fact that

they are hungry and that they don’t have anythingto eat and so they’re more preoccupied with their basic needs not being fulfilled ... it absolutely helpsthem improve their attention and their ability tofocus and learn,” said an anonymous communitymember.

Meredith Goertz, the current orchestrator ofSchool Fuel, personally understands the true im-pact of the work the church is doing for Strath-more’s children and youth.

“There were a few years when I was young where my Mom, a single mother with three girls,didn’t have enough money to feed us,” she said.“If I can help another child avoid going to schoolhungry, I will gladly spend my time and resources

with a program that does just that.” The project is run by approximately 35 dedi-

cated volunteers who purchase necessary sup-

plies, prepare meals, and serve three elementaryschools, one junior high school, and a kindergartento Grade 8 school. Every second Tuesday for twohours, community members meet at the Strathmore

High School commercial kitchen and bake approxi-mately 2,500 muffins of various flavours.

In addition to muffins, the program also deliverssliced cheese and apples for students who utilizethe service. In one year, 125 pounds of cheese, 900pounds of fruit, and 6,000 muffins are preparedand delivered.

School Fuel is non-profit and so it relies on sup-port from the government and from independentdonors. This year alone, School Fuel has receivedgenerous donations from United Way, Cenovus,

Alberta Culture and Tourism, Cheadle Lions Club,Strathmore Sobeys, Encana, Bell Tone, UnitedChurch Women, Strathmore Children’s Festival, TheDonald and Linda Murray Foundation, and variousother independent donors who have contributed tothe annual cost of $18,000 dollars.

“One way School Fuel has influenced me has been in seeing how our community gets behindprograms that help improve the wellbeing of chil-dren,” she said. “People have stepped up to helpeach year and as the need increases, so does thenumber of people needed to be involved.”

Recently, School Fuel has seen a major increase inthe amount of students who receive a daily break-fast, which is thought to be a result of the currenteconomic downturn which has plagued the prov-ince. “There have been times when finances werelow and I brought it to God,” she said. “I know notevery project is meant to go on forever so when we

began to see gifts arrive one after another, I knew we were supposed to continue on.”

The church’s current focus is to go ‘deeper and wider’ within the community and their faith, but tocontinue to serve, additional volunteers and dona-

tions are requested.“For children with food scarcity issues, it’s a tan-

gible way to show them God’s love by being thehands and feet of Jesus,” concluded Goertz.

To answer a growing need within our communi-ty, The Strathmore Youth Club has been promoting

youth well-being by providing affordable activitiesand counselling for kids aged six to 17 throughoutthe many hours of the week.

Over the past five years, participation has contin-ued to increase and the club is seeing the effects of

Alberta’s economic situation on its enrollment, spe-cifically in the usage of its lunch program, Essen-tial Edibles. Wheatland County Food Bank along

with other donors, provide schools, churches, Fam-

ily Community Support Services (FCSS), and chil-dren’s services with lunch vouchers to distributeto children and youth. Others are able to purchasea lunch for about four dollars. On May 3rd alone,40 youth and children were served lunch provided

by the Strathmore Youth Club. Independent of Es-sential Edibles, the after-school ABC program forchildren which has a maximum of 25, sees between20-25 kids each day, Outreach sessions generallyare at full capacity, and programs for the summerare quickly filling up, even faster than last year.

“The youth club I think is really important to the

town because we have a lot of parents who some-times struggle with finding things that their kidscan be involved in that are affordable”, said Coun-cillor Pat Fule, a board member since 2010.

Now, in 2016, the Strathmore Youth Club is serv-ing more kids and youth than ever with statisticsshowing that 48 percent are from rural areas and 52percent are from urban areas. They now have theirown building and are able to provide transporta-tion for participants with two buses. With these re-sources and growing number of staff, the club isable to offer programs such as Junior Chef classes;field trips to malls, theatres, and sports games; lifeskill sessions; free and subsidized lunches; leader-

ship training; and summer camps. The hope is thatthe Strathmore Youth Club will be able to enrichthe lives of the children and youth it serves whileensuring that entertainment and counselling are

within reach and very affordable.Councillor Fule concluded, “it’s a really necessary

program and it helps kids and it helps youth and ithelps families and the stronger those things can be,the better the town is in the long run.”

Please view the Strathmore Youth Club websitefor information on enrollment, programs, and howto make a donation.

Valley Song, a play about a South Af-rican granddaughter and grandfather, will open May 19, on Rosebud’s BMOStudio Stage. Apartheid has just ended,giving the coming-of-age granddaugh-

ter new freedom to pursue her dreamof a singing career, but her grandfatherdoesn’t want her to leave their small,rural village. A well-known author, who wants to leave city life and get back tothe land, witnesses their evolving story.

“It’s a generational story too, of theolder grandfather and the older au-thor,” said director David Snider. “Theylived in the old South Africa, and we’renow watching them have to adapt tothe new South Africa. It tells the storyof accepting change ... a change towards growth or accepting loss, andthe courage it takes to actually do that.” The granddaughter, Veronica, is

played by Rosebud School of the Artsgraduate Lennette Randall, who also

wrote the melodies for Veronica’ssongs.

David LeReaney, who’s had a 40-yearacting career in theatre, film and televi-sion but is new to Rosebud Theatre thisseason, plays both author and grand-father. LeReaney, a well-known dialectcoach, uses two different dialects todistinguish his roles.

“The play itself is simple but deep,and that has been really rich,” Snidersaid. “One of the things that’s richestis that it will have a lot of the spirit of Africa and that’s a delightful thing totaste and experience.”

But he emphasized that we don’thave to know Africa to appreciate thisstory.

“There’s a lot of common groundin southern Albertan rural life to the world of this small South African vil-lage,” he said. As a father, Snider is watching his

teenage sons grow up, and as a Rose- bud resident, he knows the village mayalso be on the verge of growth. He saidthe play urges him to have “the cour-age to listen deeply to my life and tohave the courage to accept change.”

“A reality in Rosebud is, we’re likelyto see a surge of new homes and com-munity members. Our village, my lifein this village, is also going to change,”he said. “There’s goodness in somenew growth, but a loss of some of thesimple things that I have loved aboutliving here. And that’s part of life.” Valley Song brings to Rosebud “even

more of the treasure that this valleyholds,” Snider said. “Our valley itselfhas a song that draws people to come,

and I think this story articulates whatthat song means emotionally.”

“(Valley Song) also echoes the man-date of Rosebud School of the Arts, which is to cultivate and encouragenew artist voices,” he said. “This is ex-actly the story. Young Veronica -- whois a very talented, passionate, driven young woman -- wants to live her lifeas an artist, for a living, as a vocationalartist.” Valley Song runs at 5 p.m., May 19 to

June 25 on the BMO Studio Stage. Gettickets at rosebudtheatre.com or 1-800-267-7553.

Geordie Cowan, a Rosebud Schoolof the Arts graduating student, willperform his Final Project, Letters in

Wartime by Kevin Brown and StephenScriver, May 27-29. The play is the story of Allan, an

RCAF pilot, and his girlfriend Moira,during World War II. Allan goes to war,Moira gets a truck-driving job at homein Alberta, and they stayin touch through letters.Moira writes about home,

while Allan writes about war: the flights he takes,the challenges he faces,the buddies he loses.

Cowan said this per-

formance is a departurefrom his usual roles, which recently includedDinosaur in Sarah andthe Dinosaur with FireExit Theatre, and Mal-colm in Sleeping Beautyat Rosebud Theatre.

“I’m a very comedic,physical actor,” he said. “I’m kind of a

Jim Carey – Mr. Bean type.”For this project, he wanted to chal-

lenge himself with something different– a Canadian historical romance with astrong story – but he brings his usualgifts to the role.

“I’m bringing forth the natural com-edy that I have,” he said, “and it’s in-

forming me and helping me grow as anactor.”

Cowan is producing this show as wellas performing it, and that also pusheshim to grow.

“You have to know all the questionsthat your crew that you’ve hired willask,” he said. “You need to be threesteps ahead, even though you’re a stu-dent and you have no idea what you’redoing.”

He has no doubt it’ll be worth it.“I will come out of this project with

more knowledge than I have out of any

other project that I’ve done – about my-self, about the world of theatre, aboutmy peers,” he said. “And it’s an exhila-rating experience.”

Cowan’s cast and crew support hisgrowth. Moira is played by CassandraGarbutt, who just finished her second

year at RSA.“She’s great. She’s already surpassed

me (in acting skill),” Cowansaid.

Paul F. Muir, RSA’s educa-tion director, is directing theshow.

“He’s really been a guid-ing light and a challenger,”Cowan said. “It’s been really

encouraging, really helpful.”He hopes Letters in War-time will help his audiencegrow too.

“It’s really important toremember what love isput through and the manymeanings that love has.

That’s a strong theme in thisplay,” he said. “You’ll walk away fromthis play with an appreciation of what

your grandparents have done and whathas happened and what the world hasdone to keep us alive.

“If you want to understand a widerrange of life, you should come. If you

want to educate yourself on the journeyof an RCAF pilot through training, then

you should come. If you want to under-stand love more, you should come.”

Letters in Wartime plays in Rosebud’s Akokiniskway Gallery, May 27 at 2 p.m.,May 28 at 10 p.m., and May 29 at 2 p.m.and 7:30 p.m. It’s recommended for ma-ture audiences. Tickets are $15.

Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) usuallyhas a food drive twice a year, but thisone was a little different.

Donations from this food drive willgo to the Calgary Food Bank to be dis-tributed to the Fort McMurray evacueesstaying in the city.

“We wanted to see what we coulddo as a school and with our studentsto reach out to the people of Fort Mc-Murray who have been affected by thesefires,” said Tony Hamilton-Irving, a HCCteacher involved in the drive. “One ofthe things we know is that these peo-ple are in large par t distributed throughthree different communities in Alberta,

major centers including Calgary and Ed-monton.” The school encouraged all their stu-

dents to bring a minimum of one item,

mostly non-perishable like a can of soup

or box of Kraft dinner. The drive ran from May 2 to May 13and the organizers managed to fill 15

boxes with 442 items.Hamilton-Irving said it was a good

way for students to connect with thoseaffected by the fires and offer them aid.

The school decided to dedicate this fooddrive to the evacuees after the CalgaryFood Bank’s website reached out topeople for donations, saying anythingmarked for Fort McMurray would be dis-tributed to the centres in Calgary wherethey are staying. The school usually donates their

items from their food drives and clothesdrives to the Strathmore Food Bank orthe Strathmore Community Crisis Shel-

ter. They have been doing this since theschool opened 13 years ago as part ofthe charity work Catholic schools are re-quired to do.


Times TIDBITS

Did You Know?

Several stories are passed around to show how the

month of May was named. The most widely accepted explanation is thatit was named for Maia, the Roman goddess of spring and growth.

Her name related to a Latin word that means increase or growth.

Celebrated for its strongchoral tradition and pastsuccess, Brentwood Ele-mentary School commemo-rated the end of another

triumphant year when allthree choirs received es-teemed recognition within48 hours. After the Brentwood Se-

nior Choir placed secondfor a second consecutive

year with a superior markof 91 at provincials, Brent-

wood music teacher Caro-lyn Steeves was still on the

bus with her students whenshe received an e-mail in-forming her of the primarychoir’s win – made up ofGrade 1 students – at theCalgary Performing ArtsFestival where they per-formed two weeks prior.

Only hours later, the el-ementary school becameaware that the junior choir– Grade 2 and Grade 3 –had also placed second,competing against ninechoirs and receiving a rat-ing of distinction and amark of 88.

“This festival year has been remarkable, becausenever ever since I’ve beenat this school did all threechoirs win something with-in 24 hours of each other,”

said Steeves. “It’s an ex-

ternal verification for whatthey’re doing and I thinkthat’s important to recog-

nize their hard work. We’vehad choirs in our schoolsince I’ve been here and

we have won at provincials before and we have won atthe Calgary Performing ArtsFestival before, but just forthem all to win that close

together was fun.” Although work ethic and

a long-standing choral tra-dition contributed to this

year’s success, Steeves alsopraised the choristers forrecognizing the importanceof a strong musical blend,understanding vowels,phrasing, and breathing,and using their sound andface to convey a story andemotion. While the primaryand senior choir were ableto perform for their awards,the junior choir was re-quired to submit an audiorecording – eliminating the

dimension of influencing judges and the audiencesthrough their physical per-formance.

Brentwood ElementarySchool wrapped up theirfestival season for the year.

“I think all three choirs worked really hard as theirown entities and all tried topursue excellence and singtheir very best,” Steevesadded. “The kids have done

well and they’ve been rec-ognized and the school’s

been recognized for a long-term music program that’s

been here and it’s been anice feather in our hat toend the school year with.”
