Administration brought forward a new fee by-
law proposal to the Dec. 18 regular town council
meeting. The bylaw would see all fees combined
into one document that council would be able to
review every year and make changes to by resolu-
tion.
The current bylaw includes a 10 per cent in-
crease in the fees for the Family Centre, Civic Cen-
tre and Aquatic Centre.
Councillor Denise Peterson proposed an amend-
ment to the Family Centre non-resident seasonal
fees.
The proposed amendment would be to remove
the non-resident fees in schedule D effective Jan.
1, said Peterson.
She explained that in previous discussion in
the chamber her understanding was that the Fam-
ily Centre brings in about $500,000 annually in
fees and revenue and approximately $15,000 of
that comes from non-resident fees, which is about
three per cent of the total amount.
If we take that three per cent and we make that
consideration of that $15,000 in consideration of
the tax fees that are paid by Strathmore residents
it is now (an) absolutely miniscule amount, said
Peterson.
The same non-resident fee however, has caused
a great deal of consternation in our county resi-
dents and has impacted our relationship with our
county which we have seen in our meetings with
our county counterparts.
Upon researching when the fee was rst intro-
duced, she said it appeared that one reason for
the fee was for the initial building of the Family
Centre. The county did not contribute to that cost
and council at the time introduced a non-resident
fee. That council had believed that any money due
to them through county participation would be re-
covered through the non-resident fees, said Peter-
son. The fee was to stay in place until that dollar
gure was met.
Peterson said now is time to move forward in a
collaborative mode in hopes that the county will
work with them in the future, and council should
remove that fee.
Councillor Bob Sobol said it has always been his
understanding that if you dont have a non-resident
fee, then the residents are paying more to support
the pool than the non-residents because they are
paying admission and taxes for the facility.

Santa was on hand for photos on Dec. 24 at the Celebration of Lights Christmas Park.
More than 800 people came out to walk the light display and enjoy an evening with their
family and friends.

Alan Aldridge took things up a notch
this year with his Christmas tree deco-
rations in hopes of winning Canadian
Tires Show of Lights contest. Aldridge
had gotten an honourable mention last
year, but knew this year he needed to
do something a little different to his dis-
play to make it stand out more.
Over the last year or two I have incor-
porated some newer technology like the
music box that choreographs the lights
that ash and I have added a couple of
blow-up characters like a snowman or
Santa which you see more and more,
said Aldridge.
(I was) really happy because that was
my intention to win or to try and win.
There are lots of nice houses in Strath-
more, people put a lot of time and effort
and money. So that was my intention to
try to win, I didnt know if I would win,
I thought I would have a chance.
Some of the other houses that won
last year were really nice, so he knew
he had to try and do better than them
and said they will only get better too
each year.
He found a good deal on many Christ-
mas items last year which is one of the
major reasons he opted to use newer
technology. He and his wife Aneth and
their three children make Christmas a
family affair, decorating the house in-
side and out.
It starts around early December for
us, my wife gets the inside puts a Christ-

I nd that unfair, I nd it unfair that
our residents would pay more to get
into the pool than non-residents. I just
look at this as evening the game and
$15,000 may not mean much to anyone
on council but it means $15,000 to me
that my taxpayers dont have to pay,
said Sobol.
He agreed with continuing to have
and pursue good relations with all of
the towns neighbours, but feels some
people using the facilities are coming
from places outside the county and
therefore the non-resident fees should
stay in place.
Councillor Rocky Blokland agreed
that in one year $15,000 may seem min-
iscule, but when adding it up over the
years it becomes signicant.
Its a money-losing facility we have
sitting here in this town that has to be
paid for some way or another and has
to be operated as such, said Blokland.
Mayor Michael Ell was torn about the
amendment. He knows the recreation
facilities run at a decit and will always
run at a decit, but I would like to
come up with a solution that allows us
to get rid of the non-resident fees.
I do think that having just spent

mas tree up in the rst week or so. Its
sort of a full month affair for us, said
Aldridge.
Aldridge won a $500 shopping spree
at Canadian Tire. He bought himself a
new TV, couple hockey sticks, cordless
drill and some knick-knacks for around
the house.
All the entries were again fantastic
this year so the decision was a very dif-
cult one. We decided on the Aldridge
house because it was whimsical and fun
and really appealed to our kids, said
Shelley Orford, who co-owns Canadian
Tire with her husband Randy.
Aldridge has a piece of advice for any-
one getting into the contest next year,
It isnt about the number of lights, its
how its set up, how clean the lights
look. For your own cost benet make
sure you have LED lights, the old tech-
nology lights take way too much energy.
My power bill doesnt really go up at all
comparatively speaking with the LED
lights its pretty amazing how awesome
they are energy wise.
$10,000 of taxpayers money to support
Hockey Alberta makes the case that the
$15,000 that the non-residents are pay-
ing just is not that big a deal, especially
for the grief that it causes, said Peter-
son.
I think the $1 a household is a really
good exchange for the fact that county
people shop in our community, they
dont have to but they do, they eat in
our restaurants and they contribute in
many, many other ways. When people
in the satellite area of Strathmore when
they leave our community they dont
say theyre from the County of Wheat-
land they say theyre from Strathmore.
We either are one community or
were not. I think there have been far
to much made of the fact that we are a
separate entity when we are not and it
has not worked to our advantage.
Ell and Peterson voted in favour of the
amendment to waive fees. The motion
was defeated and all other amendments
were approved with the policy being
given third reading. Peterson claried
that she was in favour of the bylaw as a
whole but was still not in favour of the
non-resident fees.

The end of fall proved to be a blustery one as Southern
Alberta was hit with snowfall after snowfall. A winter storm
came in mid-November, followed by a signicant blizzard
on Dec. 2 that saw road crews still clearing snow right up
to Christmas.
Jesse Parker, director of operations and engineering for
the Town of Strathmore, came to council with a request for
additional funding on Dec. 18.
In the 2013 budget $50,000 had been allocated for con-
tracted services. Before the storm had hit on Dec. 2 there
was only approximately $30,000 of that budget still avail-
able.
A majority of that was the November storm that we had
in the middle of November, we spent approximately $12,000
responding to that and with trucking services along with to
haul snow from roadways in town, said Parker.
For the Dec. 2 storm, a number of additional pieces of
equipment were utilized to plow, pile and remove the snow,
which took a signicant amount of effort and money. There
were three crew deployed, and on average the Towns con-
tracted service has been one grader, four loaders and 12
trucks, which cost approximately $8,000 per day.
On Dec. 11 contracted services were stopped other than
the use of four or ve trucks to help with removal.
Parker said he estimates that $102,000 will be needed pri-
or to the minor snowfall on Dec. 18.
Each year the amount spent on contracted help uctuates
with the snow. In 2009 $163,918 was spent and in 2011 that
gure was approximately $45,000.
When asked how he thinks the roads crew is doing in
terms of removal, Parker said he thinks they are doing great.
I think on our roads we have done an excellent job, said
Parker. Unfortunately it has resulted in some costs and I
think when previous council reduced the budget on con-
tracted service we acknowledged at that time in the event
that we had a major event we would need some additional
funds to really respond in the residential areas that way that
we have to clear the roadways in essence in town,
Parker said the goal is to remove as much snow as pos-
sible citing that the Ranch area, part of Wildower Ranch
and Cambridge Glen are still on that list.
A motion was made to grant an additional $50,000 with
funds to be drawn from the nancial stabilization reserve.

Councillor Bob Sobol has been hear-
ing a lot in the media about issues when
it comes to ushing disposable wipes.
They can plug pipes and causes serious
infrastructure issues.
Apparently this issue is very serious
in some of the larger municipalities and
is causing a lot of headache for councils
in regards to infrastructure, said Sobol.
He asked Jesse Parker, director of op-
erations and engineering for the town,
if this was something the town should
be concerned about.
Parker said he has been approached
by a group who is trying to form a
North American-wide initiative to ban
those materials from going into the
sanitary systems. He spoke to EPCOR at
that time, and EPCOR indicated it was
not a concern in Strathmore.
Sobol is concerned by some of the
things he has read and would like Park-
er to look at the issue again.
I am very concerned about this based
on the information I read. The problem,
of course, is these materials do not de-
teriorate anywhere near normal tissue
and theyre causing serious blockages.
The dollar gure that I have been read-
ing in some of these municipalities to
repair some of the damage that has
been caused is immense, said Sobol.
Councillor Denise Peterson suggested
publishing information about the risks
of ushing these products in the local
media. Parker informed council that he
would return with a report in the New
Year.
FREE SNOW REMOVAL
Catherine Walsh, Family and Commu-
nity Support Services (FCSS) coordina-
tor spoke to town council at the Dec.
18 meeting about creating a new policy.
We have been offering free snow re-
moval services since Jan. 1, 2013. Our
intention has been to provide free snow
removal services for our home support
clients at an affordable rate and barrier
free, said Walsh.
On Jan. 1, 2013 FCSS had approxi-
mately 30 to 40 snow removal clients.
There are now approximately 68 clients
and a waiting list of 15 people.
The 15 people do not receive home
support services through FCSS at this
time, but are still requesting the service.
Walsh said FCSS would like to see a
policy put in place that would provide
FCSS with protocol and procedure on
who would qualify for the service. She
was at the council meeting to ask coun-
cil to instruct administration to draft
and bring forward a policy.
A motion was made and approved to
draft a policy.

Fule for Thought
I havent been a fan of New Years celebrations
for a long time now. I mean, way back in high
school, it was always a lot of fun, but my friends
(and sometimes me) felt that was the night to re-
ally let yourself get plastered. After a while, that
seemed to become the whole reason for this night.
As an adult, I really liked that Deb and I had quiet
New Years evenings. That way, I could be the taxi
driver for my kids, in case they needed me. Yes,
theres nothing quite like picking up your very ine-
briated kids and pals, and then deliver safely home,
while they sing, laugh, and crack really bad jokes!
My uncle was out with his extended family just
before New Years. He was my late mothers young-
est brother, and he was always the young uncle,
who really enjoyed a good party. Once, on the
night of my brothers high school graduation, my
uncle partied with the grads in our backyard well
into the early hours. I had to work the next day, so
I avoided all of the craziness. Getting ready to leave
for work early, I saw the carnage that was Grad.
My uncle had kept the guys going almost all night!
They were a mess! My brother was out lying part
way in, and part way out of the tent. Another guy
looked like he had tried to hide from my uncle un-
der a picnic table he had even covered the table
with his sleeping bag! Yes, when my uncle decided
to party, it was an event! My last friend was sleep-
ing huddled against the side of our garage. These
young men had fought the good ght, tried to
drink with my Slovenian uncle, and had failed. My
cousin told me later that my aunt didnt talk to my
uncle for two weeks after this blow-out!
So fast forward to a few days ago, and my
uncles now 79. After all the years, he still enjoys a
good party, and he was just starting to glow when
my aunt and cousins gave him the command that
they had to leave. He didnt want to, he was not
ready to quit yet, but they were his only ride back
to Calgary, so he had no choice. He tried stalling,
saying long goodbyes, putting on his shoes slow-
ly, but eventually he had to surrender. It was like
watching the head of a lion pack, when the king
realizes hes no longer in charge!
I looked up some New Years traditions on
Snopes.com to see why we do what we do, on New
Years celebrations. Kissing at the stroke of mid-
night is a big one, and Ive never liked this tra-
dition. It might be because at one New Years, a
neighbor of Debs dad greeted her with a kiss.
Actually, it was pretty gross. He was plastered, and
instead of a quick peck, he kissed her cheek, then
licked it all the way up to her forehead! Deb and
I were in shock, but I was able to sneakily loosen
his grip on her arm and get her away. Since then,
I usually try to get Deb away from everyone when
the New Year hits! Yeah, theres nothing like watch-
ing your wife get mauled by a drunk, older guy
to take the fun out of a New Years kiss! Actually,
this traditional kiss at Midnight is so that affections
between the kissers will last for 12 more months.
It wasnt going to happen with Old Casanova, not
on my watch!
I also didnt know the reason for all the noise
makers, loud noise, and general chaos at the strik-
ing of 12. In olden times, the people felt that Evil
Spirits and the devil hated loud noises, so they
made as much noise as possible, to drive and keep
them away. In my house back in our olden days,
my Hungarian dad mustve also believed this. For
many New Years my inebriated dad would nd his
old WWII rie, and re off a few rounds into to the
freezing dark night! I guess times were more sim-
ple then Im not sure that would happen today!
My mom would, like my aunt, also give Dad the
silent treatment for his gunnery practice! Huh, New
Years Day always did seem very quiet at our house!
Another tradition I didnt know about, was the
opening of doors at the crack of 12. This is sup-
posed to be done to let the Old Year out, before
the New Year can come in. It was also one of the
things we did growing up, but I always thought it
was for Dad to get his shots off quicker, and not
blast out our door! I found an interesting quote
from John Wayne that also ties into a New Year
and a new start. It goes tomorrow is the most
important thing. It comes to us at midnight very
clean. Its perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in
our hands. It hopes weve learned something from
yesterday.
I hope you all have many, many happy tomor-
rows, and that no one gropes your loved one, but
you!

My wife, Anne, and I moved to Strathmore from
Calgary in 2000. Anne retired after working for RBC
for 26 years, and I worked in the life insurance in-
dustry for 32 years, before retiring in 2002.
The next four years, I spent much of my time play-
ing cards at The Happy Gang, before deciding there
had to be something better to do in my retirement
years, Our summers were busy, as we campground
hosted for Parks Canada and the USFS in Montana.
Following a discussion with the editor of the Stan-
dard early in 2010, I wrote articles bi-weekly for
them from May 2010 to May 2011. That month, town
council invited me to write a couple of articles for
the Centennial Magazine. However, it was being pub-
lished by the Strathmore Times and I felt it would be
in my best interest to move to the Strathmore Times,
and starting in December 2011 I have been writing
bi-weekly for this paper.
Early in 2013, I was approached by a number of
my early clients, asking if I could compile a book of
all the articles. They felt it would be easier to hand a
grandchild a book of the articles, than a shoebox of
newspaper cuttings!
I discussed the book concept with Mario Prusina,
editor of the Times, members of his staff, and Grace
Schouten, owner of Assist Business Centre. They all
agreed this was a route I should follow. Brenda Duff-
ield at Assist Business Centre compiled the book,
which included scanning and inserting old time pho-
tos, obtained from George Comstock at the Rosebud
Museum, into the book, and retyping all the articles
in extra large print, so older folks could read without
glasses!
The next step was to nd a publisher, and through
printing business friends in Calgary, I was intro-
duced to Blitzprint in Calgary, who specialized in
this type of book. Following this I designed, print-
ed and delivered 35 personalized letters to people,
organizations and companies in and around Strath-
more, seeking funding.
Thirteen of them agreed to sponsor me, and as a
result 100 books entitled Remembering Our Roots
by John Godsman, were ordered. This version is Vol-
ume 1 and contains 53 articles written between May
2010 and December 2012. They arrived on June 5,
and I was sold out by June 10! A second 100 books
were ordered, and at time of writing, I have sold over
80 of these. Each book can be purchased for $40.
Proceeds from the rst 100, provided income to pay
for the second 100 and proceeds from the second
100 provided income to pay for expenses and ad-
REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS going strong
ditional copies.
I am still writing articles which are published in the Times on
a bi-weekly basis. To date I have written almost 80 articles in
total. My goal is to write and publish 26 articles per year, which
would give me 52 articles for publishing in Volume 2 in the
Spring of 2015.
Many of you may have noticed my posters around town, with
a special note advising 25 per cent of proceeds from the book
will be donated to the Siksika Outreach School in Gleichen.
On Dec. 19, I presented Principal Bruce Dobbin with $1,000
cheque for the school.
I thank you all for your interest and support of this project.
I work from referrals, and I need introductions to more people
living in Wheatland County.
Seasons Greetings.

The issue of windrows being a hazard to se-
niors, business and the public in general has been
addressed before council numerous times. At the
Dec. 18 town council meeting the topic once again
made its way into the discussion.
Councillor Brad Walls said he has been con-
tacted by a number of people, including senior
citizens, who have concerns about the windrows.
One woman reported that she had to crawl over
top of one and was unable to actually get her ve-
hicle in the driveway.
It kind of concerned me a little bit, if there was
a medical reason and we had to get the ambulance
in there, hows that going to work? asked Walls.
The womans neighbour has been assisting with
snow removal. Walls said he understands this year
has been different because of the amount of snow,
but states this has been a continual problem and
is a safety concern.
We can denitely look into what potential so-
lutions would be. I suggest that its likely going
to require additional funds and support from ei-
ther additional equipment or additional contracts,
said Jesse Parker, director of operations and engi-
neering in the town.
The rst response in the event of a snowfall is
to plow the roads, making sure the driving lane is
safe, which results in the windrows being pushed
to the sides.
The only way to avoid that or to manage that
is to remove them immediately after plowing. Un-
fortunately that doesnt happen immediately just
based on resources and stafng challenges, said
Parker.
In residential areas the snow crew makes sure
a driving lane is plowed, but again that creates
problems with windrows. Having someone go be-
hind the plow and remove all the snow is both a
challenging and costly effort.
A section in the snow removal policy states that
accumulated snow in front of private driveway
entrances or emergency accesses caused by town
plowing operations will only be removed by the
town for the following reasons: when the natural
ow of stormwater is blocked by snow or ice; or
in the event that the roadway or boulevard had
exceeded snow storage capacity.
So our plowing acknowledges that the side
of the road is for snow storage and that it is the
responsibility of the driveway owners to remove
that snow from their driveway, said Parker.
He continued on to say that administration will
absolutely look into alternatives, solutions or po-
tential options if council would like them to do so.
Councillor Bob Sobol said he isnt sure council
should even be considering clearing driveway en-
trances.
That is a substantial amount of work and Im
not even in agreement that we should even be
looking down there because I know were go-
ing to be dealing with hundreds and hundreds
of thousands of dollars to effect that goal, said
Sobol.
I like the fact that we focus on clearing the
roads rst because I didnt like the ruts that we
used to have. Actually this policy came in, and I
remember this policy coming in, as way to get rid
of the ruts that were forming in the road because
our team couldnt move fast enough to get the
roads plowed and then start removing the snow.
Councillor Denise Peterson said the current pol-
icy bears scrutiny, but feels there are solutions be-
yond what Sobol suggested, and that the solution
lies deeper within the community.
I think that the job, the task of Family and Com-
munity Support Services (FCSS) is to work collab-
oratively in the community, to set up partnerships
that work in the best interest of community, said
Peterson.
I think this is a place that they could put their
efforts and we could talk about things through
FCSS recommendations in the event of priority
snow events by asking them to coordinate volun-
teer services.
She further stated that FCSS could coordinate
those volunteer services through Snow Angels
and could work in partnership with them.
Another thing that could be looked at, and
something that was done in the past, is Strath-
more High School used to fundraise during seri-
ous snow events, said Peterson.
They put their students to the task of snow re-
moval and would have a fundraising event over
those two months.
I think there is a solution and it doesnt lie in
Jesses department necessarily but I think it does
lie in councils (view) and the (view) of the greater
community, said Peterson.
Councillor Pat Fule offered to help coordinate
things through the high school after a snow event,
and suggested earmarking houses to go to where
they know there are elderly people that need to
get out.
Councillor Rocky Blokland said it wasnt too
long ago that FCSS had stated they didnt have
enough volunteers to shovel sidewalks for 65 peo-
ple, and now they are to look for people to shovel
1,000 to 1,500 driveways
I am sure if an ambulance has to pull up in
front of a house and there is a windrow there they
will nd a way to hop over it, or plow through it
or do something with it, said Blokland.
Mayor Michael Ell said he would always agree
that they can look for different solutions to the
problems and he thinks there are a few ideas to
be looked at. Administration will look further into
the issue to nd a solution.

The Foods group at Standard School made a complete
turkey Christmas dinner for the entire staff and students
of the school on Wednesday, Dec. 18.
Students proudly wore their school colours that day
and teacher Mrs. Tiffany Phillips headed up the event to
make a complete Christmas turkey dinner for the entire
staff and student body of the school. It was a successful
event last year when they introduced it in December and
it will now become a part of their Christmas celebra-
tions. The Jr. High foods group made all the squares for
dessert while the Sr. High group was in charge of the
turkey, stufng, vegetables, potatoes and gravy. While it
might seem like a daunting task and a large undertak-
ing, the dinner came off without a hitch. Former student
Morgan Miller and parent Marlene Goebel helped out for
the morning.
The holiday spirit in their gymnasium was infectious
as Grade 1 students mingled with Grade 12 students and
teachers ate with the kids. Mrs. Karen Smith, principal of
Standard, Hussar and Rockyford schools was proud of
the effort of the students and how they were received by
the rest of the student body. She also congratulated the
students for having collected over 1,150 items of food for
the East Wheatland Food Bank.

At various concerts throughout Strathmore this holiday sea-
son, our local teens have stepped up to showcase their musical
talents for the enjoyment of the community.
Lilli Furfaro and Jared Eygenraam are two of the many musi-
cal rising stars that are worth keeping your eye on.
Furfaro, originally from Ontario, moved to Strathmore 18
months ago. She comes from a musical family and her father is
the Executive Director of Rosebud Centre for the Arts. She said
both her parents are musical and the house was lled with
music growing up. She considers her parents her best friends
and values their support in all her endeavours. Furfaro can
remember her rst introduction to the performing arts.
I was ve-years-old, in Grade 1, singing on stage at a talent
show Part of your world from the Littlest Mermaid, said
Furfaro with a smile.
Since then, her repertoire has signicantly expanded. She
has directed her melodious voice to raise funds for the Osene-
toi school project in Kenya, appeared at 15 Minutes of Fame
in Rosebud and participated in other talent shows held in her
high school. She regularly participates in the worship services
at Strathmores Hope Community Covenant Church and she
and Eygenraam teamed up to showcase for the Jack de Keyzer
concert, held in Strathmore last fall.
She is currently in Grade 11 and expects to take further vo-
cal training through theatre arts programs and carry them on
with her into university.
She and Eygenraam cross paths both at school and church.
Furfaros father brought the two talents together for the Jack
de Keyzer concert and received good feedback from the com-
munity on their performance. They are hoping to work as a
duet again sometime soon.
Eygenraam was raised in Strathmore and is in Grade 10. He
plays guitar, drums, and is currently picking up the banjo. He
also plays in a band. His interest in music started with the gift
of his rst guitar at Christmas when he was younger. He went
on to take lessons at the Strathmore music store, before it
closed out and continues to pick up new material from various
mentors and fellow musicians.
Eygenraam, with or without his band, has performed in
several venues: the Osenetoi benet, Rock the Docks festi-
val, , high school talent contests, the de Keyzer blues concert,
House of the Christmas Mouse theatre project, and occasional
Calgary gigs, as well as playing for church worship services.
Eygenraam considers playing in a church atmosphere a
great way for musicians to develop their talent. The music in-
dustry has many stars who trace their roots back to church
performance settings. Eygenraam said the church atmosphere
is laid back and gives a performer a comfortable introduction
to stage work. He said positive mentoring he receives at Hope
Church has helped his skills grow.
I think it is a really good way to set out. It doesnt feel as
pressured. You arent playing for yourself, you are playing for
God, so it kind of lifts the weight off your back, said Eygen-
raam.
As for future endeavours, he said he might like to work as
a studio engineer or teacher, but he has well balanced idea of
what success in music is all about.
I love music. I dont need to be in a band. Even if I was a
studio engineer, or just working in a music shop, or whatever I
want to do with music as long as I am involved with music,
it is still music and its all good, said Eygenraam.
Furfaro and Eygenraam are locally recording a CD.
Their next project that they want all Strathmore teens to
consider attending is a special music evening called Ignite
that is geared for youth in the community. It will be held at
Hope Church on Jan. 25. Hope Church brings in many differ-
ent kinds of music experiences for the public, and Eygeraam
said local youth shouldnt be worried about the venue and
come out to what promises to be a fun night.
There is some youth that dont enjoy church or come to
church, so we just want to have an energetic night that we
hope they will enjoy, said Eygenraam.
Check out the website www.hope-community.ca, where
more details and times will be posted.
Dancing the day away
On Dec. 20 students at Crowther memorial Junior High (CmJHS) dressed
up and danced the afternoon away. For over 30 years CmJHS students
have spent the month of December learning to foxtrot, waltz, two step and
jive dance. On the last day before Christmas break each grade level shows
off their new talent hoping to win frst, second or third for their group.

Happy New Year! This frst column of the year
will focus on changes we can make in our life to
make us healthier and happier. One mistake that
people often make at this time is to try to make too
many changes at the same time. Focus on the one
that will have the greatest impact on your life and
work on that.
This frst remark is directed at the 19% of Ca-
nadians that still smoke. Quitting smoking is the
best and most powerful change you can make in
your life. Smoking is the cause of so many pre-
ventable diseases. So if you are a smoker, make
quitting your number one priority.
Most of us dont exercise enough or dont exer-
cise at all. If you are one of these people, start the
new year with a daily walk. It need only be for
ten minutes to start and increase the duration and
intensity as you feel comfortable.
Nutritionally, you cant go wrong with Canadas
Food Guide. Increasing your fruit and vegetable
intake, eating red meat moderately (twice weekly
is a good maximum), and reducing your fat, salt
and sugar intake, can go a long way to making you
healthier.
Our pharmacists talk to people every day about
health. We are a ready source of good, reliable
health information. We will be happy to share that
information with you. Another good resolution
for 2014.....visit our pharmacy soon.
Jared eygenraam and Lilli Furfaro are performing in local music produc-
tions in Strathmore. They love music and share their performing talents with
grateful Strathmore audiences. Check out their participation in the ignite
concert that will be held at the Hope Community Covenant Church on Jan.

A workshop aimed at helping girls
have healthier friendships is coming to
Strathmore on Jan. 25. GirlPower began
in Calgary around ve years ago, and
today is an internationally recognized
company. It was started by Dana Ker-
ford, a Calgary teacher and has pro-
grams for girls in Grades 1 to 6.
Our goal is to help girls understand
what is normal in friendships and how
to comfortably manage conict so that
they can maintain healthy friendships,
said GirlPower Facilitator Tania ONeill.
We try to give girls language and
tools to work out what we call friend-
ship res.
In Strathmore there are two work-
shops coming. The rst workshop is
Fuzzies and Friends. In this workshop,
which is for girls in Grades 1 and 2
and their parents, the girls will learn
the friendship basics. They will learn
about friendship facts, the qualities of a
true friend and how to use the Friend-
O-Meter to understand the difference
between healthy and unhealthy friend-
ships.
We want girls to understand that if
they are feeling not so good about them-
selves when they are with someone, or
maybe even when theyre not, then that
might be a bit of an unhealthy friend-
ship. Our advice would be to decrease
their time with them, so increase their
dose of healthy friendships, decrease
the unhealthy ones, said ONeill.
She explained that it doesnt mean
they have to end a friendship, but you
dont want to spend all your time with
them either if it is unhealthy. The teddy
bears are used to help with role-playing
some different scenarios.
The Heart of Friendship for Grades 3
and 4 is a very similar workshop but it
also discusses the various ways girls can
be mean and teaches skills on how to
stand up for yourself with a friend and
different skills on standing up to a bully.
Were all guilty when weve said oh
just ignore it. We hear 100 per cent of
the time that that does not work so we
want to give the parents and the girls
something else, some other tool, said
ONeill.
Were teaching them how to stand up
for themselves, in a respectful way.
Christine Petovello is the one who re-
quested that Girl Power come to Strath-
more to help her six-year-old daughter.
A friend of mine had told me how
it helped her daughter express herself
and learn to stand up for herself and
its my hope that my quiet, shy daughter
can learn some skills to help bring out
some condence, said Petovello.
If the girls can learn these skills at a
young age and begin developing them,
then as they get older it will hopefully
transfer into romantic relationships and
work relationships. Tickets can be pur-
chased to either workshop by going to
www.urstrong.com/GirlPower/Events/.
Tickets include the workshop, hand-
outs and a GirlPower pencil and sticker.
Fuzzies and Friends is $30 per person.
The Heart of Friendship is $35 per girls.
Both workshops will be held on Jan. 25.

Gleichens annual pond hockey event
is back for its fth year on Feb. 8. Play-
ers ages 4-17, male and female, are in-
vited to register for Hockey Day in GA.
Each team that registers will play
three non-contact 4-on-4 shinny style
games, and also have lunch and an
event souvenir package included.
Games will be played on three outdoor
surfaces and one indoor surface at the
Gleichen Arena.
For pond hockey, there are not a
lot of events that run in the province,
at least for kids, Cara Sheppard said,
president of the Gleichen Minor Hock-
ey Association. This gives kids the op-
portunity to have that tournament or
event kind of thing.
The event has grown every year since
2009, when it started with 50 kids.
Roughly 150 were involved last year,
and up to 200 are expected for Feb. 8.
Former NHLer and Edmonton native
Jason Strudwick attended last years
Hockey Day in GA event.
Hes an Edmonton Oiler alumni,
Sheppard said. He came out last year
and skated with the kids, and signed
autographs. Were hoping for some-
body again this year, were not quite
sure if well be able to get anybody, but
were putting the word out and trying
to.
To register for the event, please con-
tact Cara Sheppard by Jan. 10, by phone
(403-734-3515) or e-mail (shepfarm@
xplornet.ca). Cost is $5 to register.

Jerry and Jean Bizot are well known in
town as Santa and mrs. Claus, a role
they have both happily done for a num-
ber of years.

Times Reporter

Santa Claus can be found
year round in Strathmore. He
shops at our local shops, en-
joys attending the Strathmore
Stampede and even delivers
the Strathmore Times weekly to
various locations in town. Jerry
Bizot has been Santa for over 30
years. It began with him knock-
ing on windows yelling Merry
Christmas and it soon became
part of who he is daily.
Its a year round thing, said
Bizot.
The role of Santa wasnt al-
ways a full time event for Bizot.
In the beginning, on Christmas
Eve, after his family had dinner,
he would change into his Santa
suit and head out to different
houses in the community.
People would leave their
presents outside and we would
put them in the bag and bring
them in, said Bizot.
He would wear a fake beard
at rst, then opted to grow his
own, dying it with Mrs. Bluing.
All of a sudden it just went
white, natural white, said Bi-
zot.
Around 10 years ago Bizots
wife Jean joined him, taking
on the role of Mrs. Claus each
year. Together the duo makes
appearances around town, and
in Calgary, going wherever they
are requested. The Bizots dont
have a set rate they ask for, tell-
ing people to instead pay what
they can afford to. For them it
is not about the money, but is
instead about spreading the joy
of the holiday season.
The look on the kids faces
is priceless. Theyre in the stage
where they either believe or not
believe, some of them will take
a double take and say well are
you for real and I say what do
you think? said Bizot.
Were having a great time do-
ing it, we enjoy it. We both do.
Santa Claus is having a
great time in Strathmore

The infrastructure under many parts of Strath-
more is in need of repairs, which is why a com-
bined amount of $720,000 was allocated to water
and sewer main replacements in 2013.
We did not complete sewer main and water
main replacements other than what were incor-
porated into our major project on Thomas Drive
in 2013, said Director of Operations and Engi-
neering for the Town Jesse Parker at the Dec. 18
council meeting.
In an effort to take on more signicant proj-
ects with additional funds, this evening I come
to council to ask that those funds be carried for-
ward into 2014 to be combined with the funds
that council have approved as part of the capital
budget for 2014 for water and sewer main replace-
ments.
At a cost of almost $2,000 per metre, water and
sewer main replacement costs can very quickly
add up.
The 2014 budget has $150,000 allocated to the
project but Parker said it wont take long to spend
it, especially in the older parts of town.
Some of the existing infrastructure consists of
cast iron water mains, and clay tile sewer pipes.
Parker said on Thomas Drive the replacement
crew found interesting pipes, including a section
made of wood.
Were anticipating that were going to nd a
number of issues as we do replace these mains,
said Parker.
In 2014 a project is planned to work on Lake-
side Blvd, which has signicant underground re-
placement planned.
The funds are MSI grant funds that can be used
and moved into a future year provided they are
assigned to a specic project. Councillor Pat Fule
asked about when MSI funds will start being put
aside for things like a new multiplex, and suggest-
ed this money could be earmarked for that. The
Municipal Sustainabiliy Initiative (MSI) is a grant,
which means the funds cannot be put into reserve
funding, which is basically what would need to
happen if they were allocated to a project such
as a multiplex. For a project of that magnitude,
which would be expensive, the town would need
to set aside reserves for a number of years.
I would be really disappointed if we were to
take that money out of the water and sewer capital
for the replacement of our sanitary system which
it direly needs and put it towards something like,
I dont even want to mention it, but that to me
would be totally irresponsible, said Councillor
John Rempel.
Parker said administration has been looking at
some easy project water and sewer main replace-
ment areas that they can tackle where they think
they can get some good bang for their buck.
I totally understand that we want to be respon-
sible and make sure that this money goes to some-
thing as important as the water and sanitary re-
placement, but at some point were going to have
to start allocating serious amounts of MSI funding
toward a major capital item like a multiplex. Its
got to happen soon, said Fule.
A motion was made and approved to reassign
the funds to be combined with the 2014 capital
budgets for both water and sewer main replace-
ments.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING
FORWARD TO?
The year 2013 is now history and
we enter 2014 wondering what it
will hold. History literally cannot
be changed but the present and
the future are in our hands to do
something about. Growing up,
exercising free will and embrac-
ing change are all part of life.
Have you heard the phrase, I
am too old to change? Well, I
dont believe that for a minute.
Free will goes hand in hand with
change. Depending on where we
live in the world, governing forc-
es undoubtedly inuence how
and when we use our free will,
but God has given each man free
will. Even He will not violate it.
My colleague and friend Andy
Wiebe from Bow River Alliance
Church, really challenged me in
his article back in December. It
tied in well with what I had been
preaching for a couple of weeks.
Andy called us to Get rid of the
baby mentality and grow up.
It is true that Jesus rst arrived
on earth as a baby, but He grew
up and accomplished what His
Father had sent Him to do: Even
unto death on the cross did He
choose to obey His Fathers will.
He died in our stead and made
the way for men to be reconciled
to God. The Scripture declares
He also rose again to sit at the
right hand side of the Father. He
is our Advocate. The best is yet
to come. Jesus is indeed coming
back again to receive all who
call Him Lord and Saviour unto
HIMSELF.
Are you looking forward to 2014?
Will you make choices that
are life-giving, wise, mature?
The most important CHOICE of
our lives is answering the call
concerning Jesus Christ: to
enter eternity on our own merit,
or to have a Saviour who paid
the full price. A quality, informed
decision involves research from
a reliable source. Get into the Bi-
ble and see what the word says
about your past, present and
future. Exercise your free will.
Choose life, choose Jesus.

Holy Cross held their Fine Arts Night on Dec. 10 to showcase their drama
departments for both Junior and Senior high, which includes their band pro-
gram, their drumline and African drumming programs. On Nov. 29 - 30, the
HCC High School African Drumming ensemble travelled to Lethbridge to
participate in workshops at the University of Lethbridge and perform in the
Universitys Global Drumming Concert. This was a huge opportunity for the
students to show off their skills and they had a lot of fun in the process. On
the Saturday, Nov. 30 they traveled to Fort macleod to perform in their Santa
Claus Day Parade which was a lot of fun and a huge success! Band Director
Sarah Haughey was pleased with their performances and expressed that
to the parents, friends and family that attended. i am so proud of these
extremely dedicated musicians, she said.

Gentle but very cautious of people. Lovely is a tiny little

in her and will always run away and hide. She needs a lot
of hands on work and with someone who has a tonne of

The staff, students and volunteers
of Standard School in East Wheatland
welcomed some special guests to their
school on Wednesday, Dec. 18 to cel-
ebrate and give thanks for some major
donations to the development of the
school.
Greg Lendvay, associate principal of
Standard School, in his address to the
students said, they have enjoyed some
of the recent changes to our school be-
cause of the generosity of three major
contributors (two from last year and
one from 2013).
Craig and Celeste Christensen, along
with Mark and Carol Pollard (sister
of Dale), represented the Dale Chris-
tensen Family Fund to support 21st
century learning. The family group
donated $50,000 on behalf of Dale
Christensen to the development of a
learning common space as opposed
to a traditional library, iPads for teach-
ers and a digital display monitor. Craig
Christensen spoke highly of his uncle,
who grew up in the Standard area and
went to school in Standard.
He attended Standard school where
he loved learning, math in particular,
he always said Standard school gave
him a wonderful start to his educa-
tion, said Christensen. (My uncles)
generosity is why Im here today to tell
you about him. Uncle Dale had a pas-
sion for learning and believed it was
a lifelong gift. He and his family hope
that the donation to Standard school
will help others share his passion for
learning and benet our local school.
Over $100,000 in equipment and
donations to purchase equipment by
Apple Fitness, Class of 2012 and the
Standard Lions and Lionettes was also
recognized. Trevor Irwin from the Ap-
ple Fitness Store in Calgary represent-
ed the store as well as the Apple Seeds
Program.
For over ve years now Apple Fit-
ness Store has worked with numerous
charities and not-for-prot groups in
helping them plant the seed of tness
to those that they serve by donating
equipment ourselves, and by nding
partners within our community willing
to donate their old equipment to our
program instead of selling it, or taking
it to landlls, said Irwin.
When equipment is donated we go
through it to ensure that it is safe to
be used, and help gure out the logis-
tics of getting the equipment to its new
home. In the past ve years through
the generous donors who have con-
tributed to the Appleseed program, our
program has placed over a quarter of a
million dollars worth of tness equip-
ment in to facilities such as the one we
celebrate today.
Over the last ve years the Apple
Seeds Program has donated over half a
million dollars in equipment donations
and funds to communities and schools.
Shaun Kathol, on behalf of Agrium,
spoke of the $10,000 donation for
the outdoor classroom. Lendvay said,
This is something that Agrium has
allowed our students and staff to de-
velop and create. It is a project that we
will undertake in the spring that will
be sustainable and we will be able to
take with us to the new school in East
Wheatland.
The morning assembly concluded
with a turkey dinner prepared by the
Foods Group led by Mrs. Tiffany Phil-
lips for the entire Grade1 through 12
student body, staff and guests.

The Jr. Varsity boys from Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) won their
second game of the season on Dec. 17. The team won 75-68

direction of Coach Tony Irving the boys played a tight game
with the point spread staying around the 10 point lead until the
4th quarter where they were pressed to keep their lead and
fnally their win. Holy Cross player Patrick Kruse makes his way
to the basket for a left handed lay-up.

Grade 12 Strathmore High School student Alyssa La-
vallee likes to keep a packed schedule; she plays for the
Spartans senior volleyball and badminton teams, but
also plays fastball and hockey outside of school as well.
Shes currently the captain of the midget Strathmore
Storm in the Tier 2 Rocky Mountain Female Hockey
League, leading her team in scoring.
It keeps me busy, Lavallee said. I dont like not
doing stuff, and I love just staying active. I just get into
whatever I can, pretty much.
Lavallee and her family moved to Strathmore seven
years ago, from Ottawa.
She was in gymnastics when she was young. When
we moved to Ottawa, she decided she wanted to play
hockey instead of doing gymnastics, Alyssas mother
Michelle said. She was the one that always led the way,
and was energetic always has that team sportsman-
ship attitude.
That same team attitude led her to get involved with
Operation Backpack two years ago.
They collect backpacks from people around Cal-
gary, Lavallee said. People will ll the backpacks with
necessities that people living on the street would need
toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, a blanket, warm
gloves. On one night, in December, theyll give it out
to the homeless people in Calgary, all these full back-
packs. Its pretty cool.
Lavallee is leading the fundraising charge at Strath-
more High School, and did last year as well.
With my class personally, everyone brought in one
item on the list, and then our teacher bought the back-
packs one for a boy, one for a girl, Lavallee said. I
kind of just let everyone know about it; got the bro-
chures, talked to classes if they wanted me to just got
people involved with it.
At Prince Edward Park in Calgary last year, Opera-
tion Backpack set up a large trailer for those in need to
receive their necessities.
Its really cool, that kind of thing, Lavallee said. You
hear about people going around to other places around
the world, but its just a local thing in Calgary. Theres
so many people in Calgary that you dont even think of
that are living on the streets. It was a really cool experi-
ence to go and hand out backpacks last year.
With only one week to put the organizing all togeth-
er, Strathmore High School donated 25 backpacks this
year.
The really neat thing is, in the rst year, she got
eight because she didnt really get it out it was more
friends and family who did it, mother Michelle said.
So she set a goal to double that, and she got 45 last
year.
The senior has taken her SATs and applied to dif-
ferent universities, hoping to get a fastball scholarship
while taking kinesiology.
I think thats up her alley, with her giving sort of
way as well. She loves working with kids, Michelle
said; Alyssa also works at Camp Chestermere.
I hope to go to the States. Ive been just looking
at different schools right now and getting myself out
there, but Ive also applied to schools in Canada, La-
vallee said.
With all the sports Lavallee is involved with, she has
no trouble pegging fastball as the one she wants to
stick with.
Its the one that I love the most, she said. Ive been
playing hockey since I was 6 or 7, but hockey is just
something that I love to play. Its not really that com-
petitive for me. Fastball, I would love to play it longer.
I like how its a team game but its also an individual
game at the same time.
Lavallee says fastball doesnt get the credit as a think-
ing game, and that most people assume its just hitting
and throwing.
With the batting and the mental part of it too, you
always have to be thinking, she said. Theres a lot of
things you need to think about when youre up to bat
or in the eld.
Lavallee plays third base and outeld for the Strath-
more Thunder, but also played with an older age group
Calgary Mystique.
Lavallees mother is glad shell be settling on just one
sport come post-secondary.
You have to pick and choose your sports right? Mi-
chelle said. Because academics are huge.

Having lost to Holy Trinity Academy 78-40
in their home opener on Dec. 11, the Strath-
more High School Spartans redeemed them-
selves in a 55-51 victory over Oilelds High
School boys basketball team ve days later.
Well, we were actually leading at some
points by 12 to 14 points, said Spartan coach,
Ken Smith. It was a close game, theyre a re-
ally hard team -- a good team to play against.
It just came down to us not turning over the
ball as much.
Smith and his squad had roughly 30 turn-
overs in their game against Holy Trinity Acad-
emy.
Thats 60 points, Smith said. Thats the
difference. Our main focus is taking care of
the ball. We met that goal -- being more re-
sponsible. As you can tell, it didnt boost our
score up, we only had 55 points, but what it
did do was it limited the other teams score.
Throughout the game, Oilelds never took
the lead from the Spartans, only coming
within a few points towards the end of the
fourth quarter. The momentum from the vic-
tory will be hard to carry into the new year.
Its a tough season. I dont particularly
like it because you get no continuity. It goes
until March but you have all these breaks in
between. When we come back from Christ-
mas, its pretty much like starting over from
scratch again. Everyone gets lazy and forgets
what were doing, Smith said. We have a
young team and I cant give them too much
to focus on at once.
The varsity boys return to action Jan. 8, vis-
iting Foothills Composite High School.
The varsity girls under the tutelage of Dion
Galandy never had the opportunity to play
their second game of the season, against
Highwood High School, due to poor weather
on Dec. 18. The game has been rescheduled
to Jan. 15, after the girls join the boys against
Foothills Composite on a week earlier.
Galandy and the girl Spartans have not
seen Foothills yet in this seasons exhibition
tournament action.
Itll be a challenge for us. It should be
a good game, Galandy said. I dont know
whether well be on the winning end or the
losing end, but itll be a good game.
The varsity girls maintain a different sched-
ule than the boys over the Christmas break.
We often do individual practices over the
holidays when kids can come out, Galandy
said. We keep doing a little bit.
The girls are also planning for a mini-tour-
nament in Chestermere from Jan. 3-4, against
a team from Idaho, before school begins on
Jan. 6.

Times Reporter

The Winnipeg Jets defenceman Ke-
aton Ellerby, originally from Strath-
more, sat down for an interview with
the Strathmore Times before the holi-
days to talk about his blossoming,
young hockey career so far. Ellerby
played with the Okotoks Oilers in
midget AA at the age of 15, before mov-
ing up to the Kamloops Blazers of the
WHL. He was drafted into the NHL 10th
overall to the Florida Panthers in 2007,
and had stops in Moose Jaw and Roch-
ester in the minors. During the lock-
out-shortened season in 2013, he was
traded from Florida to the LA Kings.
On Nov. 2, he was picked off waivers
by Winnipeg, adding three points in 18
games so far this season.
AS: Are you originally from Strath-
more? Whereabouts would you call
home?
KE: Well, I was born in Strathmore. I
lived there for a year or so I think, and
then my family moved to Calgary and
bought an acreage outside of the city.
AS: What team were you playing
for before the Kamloops Blazers of the
WHL?
KE: I did all of
my minor hockey in
Okotoks. I got an in-
vite to Kamloops camp
when I was 15. I went
out there and ended up
signing with them.
AS: Coming from a
small town, do you feel
you had more oppor-
tunities to develop as
a player, rather than
those who may have
competed amongst
many others in a big
city?
KE: Yeah, maybe.
It was great being able to play in
Okotoks. I always got to play a level
up a little bit, with some older guys. I
enjoyed playing for the smaller towns --
never really a city boy. We got to travel
to Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, which
was kind of cool at a young age.
AS: You were drafted among some
pretty good players into the NHL, with
Patrick Kane, Logan Couture, etc. How
did it feel to go 10th overall?
KE: It was an amazing experience.
Every young kid growing up is always
dreaming of one day playing in the
NHL. To be drafted by Florida and to
develop there was a great opportunity
for me, and itll be a highlight for my
life for a long time.
AS: In 2008, you were invited to the
Team Canada World Junior camp but
were cut. Is that something you regret
in your career?
KE: No, not at all. There were so
many good players, and things happen.
I dont regret it at all. I mean, it would
have been kind of cool to do it but I
got to play a lot of Hockey Canada stuff
-- I played under-18s, under-17s, the
Canada-Russia Super Series.
AS: Your correct size is 65 and 220
pounds, yes?
KE: Just under 65, yeah.
AS: How do you feel you use your size
effectively?
KE: I just try and play as physical as
possible. Im pretty good skater for my
size, so it kind of helps out, being a big
guy that can skate.
AS: What do you think is your stron-
gest quality you bring to the dressing
room or the ice?
KE: I just play a good, defensively
style of hockey. Ive never really been
the offensive type -- but I help my part-
ner, keep the puck out of our end as
much as possible, and try to help the
team win as much as I can.
AS: What in your game do you think
you need to work on?
KE: Maybe the offensive side, a lit-
tle bit. Id like to contribute a little bit
more, but its a tough league to get
points in.
AS: Being with Dustin Byfuglien and
Zach Bogosian, what have they taught
you on Winnipegs style of defensive
play?
KE: They got a lot of good, young d-
men here, like Toby Enstrom, and Buf
and Bogo, like you said. Just play hard.
The coach is a good coach, he just ex-
pects hard work every day, whether its
a practice or a game. If you work hard,
youll be rewarded for it.
AS: Other than Claude Noel of the Jets,
what coaches would you say have inu-
enced you the most during your career?
KE: I think Darryl Sutter. Hes de-
nitely been a big help for me. John Ste-
vens in LA as well, he was the defen-
sive coach there. Those two guys were
a big help for developing my game and
helping me out in areas that I needed
work on. They were
both really good to me.
AS: I read that youre
related to Shane Doan
and Carey Price, is that
correct?
KE: Yup!
AS: How big of an
impact did they have
on you playing hockey?
KE: Me and Carey,
weve been best friends
for years now. Its al-
ways nice to have him
there to talk to. Grow-
ing up, Shane was al-
ways 11 or 12 years
older. We kind of got to
see him go through the draft, play in
Winnipeg, and have such a great career
in Phoenix.
AS: Whos the most skilled player that
youve played beside, and against?
KE: Oof...tough one. Id say the most
skilled to play against has got to be
Crosby or Ovechkin, theyre pretty im-
pressive. But I mean, there are so many
good players. A guy that Ive played
with...hmm...I dont know. Good ques-
tion.
AS: What team do you feel you grew
with the most?
KE: I think LA. I was there all last
year and this year; it wasnt a long stay,
but I denitely think my time there re-
ally helped me as a player.
AS: After being placed on waivers by
the Kings and picked up by the Jets, was
it bittersweet to leave and come closer
to home?
KE: You never like leaving the group
that youre with. LAs obviously an
amazing place; it was a great group
of guys and a great organization, so
it sucked leaving there. Now that Ive
been in Winnipeg, its been such an
amazing experience so far. The teams
been great and the guys are awesome.
Weve been winning some games and
doing well, so we just have to keep that
going.
AS: Being on a one-year contract
now, would you want to stay in Win-
nipeg next year?
KE: Yeah, for sure. I love it here.
AS: How loud does the MTS Centre
get?
KE: Pretty loud. Just because the
building is not as big as most NHL
rinks, its kind of amplied a little bit.

PERSONALS
LAVERY, David (ST. PIERRE)
April 13, 1967 December 20, 2013
It is with great sadness that the family of David Lavery an-
nounce his passing. David of Strathmore, Alberta, has gone
to be with his father Ron St. Pierre. David leaves behind
his loving daughter Dalynn who was the sunshine of his
life; his mother Madeline Lavery of Welland; sister Louise (John) of Port Col-
borne; brothers Tim of Welland, Danny (Julie) of St. Catherines; his nieces
and nephews, who loved him dearly; his wife Marilynn of Manitoba; and
many dear friends, too many to mention. David was known as Dave the
Painter of The Painting Saints. He was proud of his profession and was an
amazing painter. Dave always greeted someone with a big smile, a comple-
ment, a joke, or a ditty; to his family and friends it as a big hug for a hello or
goodbye. He was larger than life and if you were blessed with ever meeting
David, it only took once for you to always remember him. With his love of
music, we would often be blessed with his renditions of songs that were of-
ten incomprehensible, as our David was perhaps one hundred percent tone
deaf. We would have to nod and acknowledge, or he would keep on going
You could always tell when Dave had a good hand at the poker table, as it
was the only time he was ever quiet (sorry Dave we never told you). He was
always cheering for the underdog, and of course loving the long shots. His
deep love for family and close friends made him one of the most loving souls
that has ever touched our world.
Never doing anything halfway,
He lived life as he played cards,
Ill see you and Im all in
Rest in peace my Dearest David. Until we meet again, we love you.

UFA Bisons vs Sherwood Park J Ennis Kings
Dec. 26 @ Max Bell Centre
The UFA Bisons were up 3-1 at the end of the 20 minutes
during their rst game at the 36th annual Macs Tournament
in Calgary, with goals coming from Clay Murray, Chad Har-
rison and Ryan Zeniuk. However, the Sherwood Park Kings
stormed back in the second period with a three-goal effort,
including two on the man advantage. Mackenzie Bauer was
able to tie up the game short handed with three minutes
remaining in the third period. The nal stood at a 4-4 tie.
The Bisons took six penalties in the second, and 11 in the
entire game.
We sat in the penalty box most of the second period. That
was the issue, Bisons coach Dan MacDonald said. Theyre
a very good team, with a really good powerplay.
Goaltender Garrett Mason kept the Bisons in it, stopping
35 of 40 shots; the Bisons only managed 25.
The Bisons had lost to Sherwood Park in AMHL play on
Oct. 5, by a score of 6-3, and had a shutout tie against them
on Nov. 23; MacDonald and his squad were familiar with
they play, and noted that their style of hockey is very similar
to their own.
We dont change our style, MacDonald said. We only
know one way, and we do it the best we can.
UFA Bisons vs Regina Pat Canadians
Dec. 27 @ Max Bell Centre
After Carter Seminuk al-
lowed two goals on four
Regina Pat Canadians
shots, UFA Bisons Coach
switched to Garret Mason at
the 11-minute mark. Mason
went on to allow one more
goal in the rst period, but
stopped 25 others for the re-
mainder of the game. The Bisons, down 3-0, came back to tie
yet another game at the Macs Tournament, with defenseman
Tristan Thompson leading the way with two goals and sev-
eral hits. Mackenzie Bauer notched the game-tying marker.
Garret played really well, said Bisons coach Dan Mac-
Donald. He came in and did a really good job for us. Its just
too bad that Carters sick today because hes played really
well too. We got two good goaltenders, we just have to score
more than three goals and well be good.
Penalties again were a problem for the Bisons; they had 28
minutes in the box.
It depends on how close they call things. The guys are
trying hard, both teams, MacDonald said. Theyre young
guys, theyre trying to impress, and they dont want to show
anyone that theyre going to back down or give up.
UFA Bisons vs CAC Gregg Distributors
Dec. 29 @ Father David
Bauer Arena
The UFA Bisons were still
looking for a win at the
Macs Tournament, with two
ties prior to a loss against
the CAC Gregg Distributors,
5-4. The Bisons began with
a two-goal lead thanks to
powerplay markers by Mack-
enzie Bauer and Clay Mur-
ray, but it was 5-2 by the end
of the second period for CAC. David Sheldon scored halfway
through the third, and Matthew Forchuk on the powerplay
put the Bisons within one with a minute remaining. The
Bisons failed to tie, with 32 shots on net. Bisons coach Dan
McDonald thinks having star player Mason McCarty out of
the lineup for the entirety of the Macs Tournament is a large
negative to the team.
Were out of sync right now too many days off, not
enough practices. Also, were missing McCarty, MacDonald
said. He gets us going. Weve tied two and lost by one goal,
he really helps us. By the third game, you know hes not
there. Hes a valuable member of our team. Its hard to re-
place your leading scorer.
MacDonald also noted that with Carter Seminuk sick, all
goaltending has fell to the shoulders of Garret Mason. Dur-
ing league play, the goalies typically alternate.
The Bisons however played a much more disciplined
game against CAC, taking only three penalties throughout
the game.
The guys are doing well and theyre trying their best, its
just not coming out our way right now, MacDonald said. I
think we should have won both the games we tied. Were
done now. We would have had to win that game, and we
didnt.
