recommended funding for 10 not-for-profits for
the 2020-21 budget year.
Linda Bernicki, FCSS executive director, pre-
sented the 2020 funding recommendations to
council on Feb. 5.
FCSS received requests for $74,600 in funding
from various community programs but only had
$64,000 available from the 2020 budget. Two
programs received all funding they requested:
Growing Families Society, based on a memo-
randum of understanding between the Town of
Strathmore from 2017, and Meals on Wheels.
The final eight community programs and ser-
vices received between $1,000 and $2,150 less
than requested, including Golden Hills School
Division, Canadian Mental Health, Strathmore
Municipal Library, Calgary Catholic Immigration
Society, Accredited Supports to the Community,
Foothills Fetal Alcohol Society, Project Hope
and Junior Achievement Southern Alberta.
“There’s been an increase in the percentage
of (requests from) child and youth programs
and services with respect to the funding,” Ber-
nicki said. “That it is mainly due to new and
enhanced partnerships that we’ve developed in
the community.”
She told council that FCSS encouraged ap-
plications specifically from those who provid-
ed programming to children and youth for the
2020-21 budget year. As a result, 65 per cent of
funding was allocated to those serving children
aged zero to 18 while the final 35 per cent went
to groups providing programming for families,
adults and seniors.
Of the 10 applications being recommended
for council’s approval, five were multi-year fund-
ing approvals and five were annual requests.
Those applying for multi-year grants “do not
have to reapply for three years if it’s for the Swing your Valentine

RCMP turns 100
JANET KANTERS
Times Editor
While the story of Canada’s mounted police dates back to
1873, it was 100 years ago this month that the Royal North-
West Mounted Police and Dominion Police merged to be-
come today’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
On Feb. 1, 1920, the federal government merged the Royal
North-West Mounted Police and the Dominion Police – a
federal force established in 1868 to guard government build-
ings and to enforce federal statutes – forming the RCMP.
Today, the RCMP provides an array of services, from mu-
nicipal policing, to national security intelligence gathering,
to the legendary Musical Ride. The RCMP’s formal primary
mandate remains the prevention of crime and the mainte-
nance of peace and order. It also provides police services to
eight of the 10 Canadian provinces, (excluding Quebec and
Ontario), as well as to the three northern territories, and
more than 180 municipalities and Indigenous communities.
In late 2019, the RCMP set up its first union – the National
Police Federation – to represent RCMP members in such
areas as pay, health benefits, insurance, equipment, etc. The
union hopes to start salary bargaining by mid-March 2020.
Mounties make less than officers in most municipal forces
right across the country, with a starting annual salary of
$53,144 for an RCMP officer.
History
On May 3, 1873, Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald
introduced a bill to establish a police force in the North-
West Territories. On May 23 the bill was passed
and the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP)
came into being. One hundred and fifty re-
cruits were sent west to spend the winter
at Fort Garry (what is now Winnipeg)
and the following spring another 150
joined them.
Over the next 30 years, the force
increased in manpower, and spread
throughout what is now the three
prairie provinces and into the ter-
ritories. In 1903, the first mounted
police north of the Arctic Circle was
established at Fort McPherson and a

detachment set up at Cape Fullerton on the western shore
of Hudson Bay. By this time, the force was known as the
Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP).
Alberta and Saskatchewan were created out of the North-
West Territories in 1905. By 1917, each had set up their own
provincial police forces: Alberta Provincial Police was in ser-
vice from 1917 to 1932, and Saskatchewan Provincial Police
from 1917 to 1928.
Then on Feb. 1, 1920, the RCMP was formed, with its main
activities the enforcement of narcotics laws, and security
and intelligence work. Between 1931 and 1938, the size of
the RCMP nearly doubled, from 1,350 to 2,350 men, as the
force took over provincial policing in Alberta, Manitoba,
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. In
1950, the RCMP assumed responsibility for additional pro-
vincial policing in Newfoundland and British Columbia.
RCMP in Strathmore and Gleichen
According to Mark Gaillard, RCMP Historian, the distri-
bution state of the RNWMP dated Sept. 30, 1909 shows that
both Strathmore and Gleichen were detachments of “E” Di-
vision, headquartered in Calgary. At that time there was one
constable and two horses at Strathmore; and one staff ser-
geant, one constable and two special constables, along with
four horses, at Gleichen.
“On February 28, 1917, the RNWMP was withdrawn from
policing duties in Alberta. Policing was now the responsibili-
ty of the Alberta Provincial Police (APP),” said Gaillard. “The
RNWMP had responsibility only for enforcement of federal
statutes and policing in national parks.”
On April 1, 1932, the RCMP once again as-
sumed responsibility for police operations
and duties in Alberta. Most of the APP per-
sonnel and detachments were absorbed
into the RCMP which expanded to al-
most 100 detachments and over 300
members.
Today, the Strathmore RCMP de-
tachment is comprised of 14 munic-
ipal and nine rural officers, which
are included in the total of 29 mem- The RCMP Musical Ride performed in

Court approves request
for injunction by FCL
DEIRDRE MITCHELL-MACLEAN
Times Contributor
Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench ap-
proved a request for an injunction by
Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL)
against protesters at the Carseland card-
lock.
The decision was released Feb. 6 after
hearing arguments the day before.
Co-op CEO Scott Banda and repre-
sentatives from United We Roll Canada
were in Carseland on Feb. 5 to address
locals and media.
“In reality, the refinery is owned by
you, the members, almost two million
members in Western Canada” Banda
said. “And because Unifor never talks
about that, the other side of that is the
almost $2 billion that we flow through
from our profits right through to local
co-ops.”
Unifor did not respond to requests for
comment, but some people on the line
spoke off the record. They said they had
been allowing residents to fuel up and
that their picket line was simply to gain
awareness of what was going on in Sas-
katchewan.
Having oil and gas workers who are
also union members has caused ad-
ditional problems for Local 594 whose
president, Kevin Bittman, said they were
in between a rock and a hard place, po-
litically.
“Most of the members probably sup-
port the Saskatchewan Party,” he said.
“We’re a union, so we get some support
from the local NDP, but we’re oil and
gas employees, so the Saskatchewan

Party supports us.”
However, neither party has been will-
ing to publicly support the strike be-
cause it is at odds with each political
party in one way or another.
Banda said they had issued ration no-
tices due to both the strike and having a
pipeline down for maintenance.
Daniel Warrack runs a local trucking
company out of Cheadle and said the
restriction is difficult for his business,
especially since the Carseland Co-op is
his main fuel source.
“Just yesterday I had a notice from
Federated Co-op saying we were re-
stricted to 300 litres per day per card,”
he said after the rally. “On a busy day,
we’d probably burn about 500 litres a
day.”
Unless they have a card for additional
co-op regions, they cannot get addition-
al fuel on their current cards.
“We’ll have to look at sourcing fuel
from other locations,” Warrack said. “If
we have to get fuel from other sources,
they might run out of fuel too. What
Unifor is doing, it’s illegal, as the higher
ups are saying; they just come in and
barricade their business, that’s not right.
At the very least, they want to stay there
and protest, that’s fine, but let the trucks
in to get fuel.”
Meanwhile, Banda said they want to
get back to negotiations and that FCL
has no intention of trying to bust the
union. At the same time, Banda says FCL
isn’t asking for anything unreasonable.
“Because we are a co-operative we
cannot source our funding in the public
markets, and that’s why I will not apolo-

gize for the profits that we make as a
co-operative,“ Banda said. “But it’s that
same money that Unifor demands that
we use to fund unsustainable defined
pension plans for its 730 members.”
Unifor representatives say Co-op has
added more concessions during the bar-
gaining process since the lockout, over
and above the pension dispute.
On Feb. 7, an Alberta judge granted
police the ability to enforce a court rul-
ing to remove Unifor barricades at the
FCL fuel distribution terminal in Carse-
land and clearly defined two locations
on site where picketers could continue
to demonstrate.
Strathmore RCMP Staff Sergeant Dale
Morgan confirmed the barricades had
been removed as of Monday afternoon,
Feb. 10.

HEALTH ADVICE
Gord Morck
Pharmacist
Capsule Comments
Rectal itch…..not life-threatening but can be
very uncomfortable. Try a little hyrocortisone
cream. You can buy it without a prescription in
the pharmacy. Just a little dab will relieve the itch
quite well. An alternative would be witch hazel
solution. It’s also found in Tucks wipes.
In the U.K., the rules for selling acetaminophen
(Tylenol) are much stricter than here in Canada.
Called paracetamol in Britain, this non-prescrip-
tion pain-reliever can be sold in packages of only
16 tablets in supermarkets and shops. Pharma-
cies are allowed to sell packs of 32 although
pharmacists, at their discretion can sell up to 100
tablets to those with chronic conditions. This is a
nod to the fact that the drug can be toxic in large
amounts.
The original antihistamine is a drug called di-
menhydrinate (brand name is Benadryl) was dis-
covered back in 1937 and is known as a first-gen-
eration antihistamine. It worked well but it has a
definite side effect of sedation. For this reason, it
has been superseded by newer drugs that work as
well without the sedative effects. For this reason,
Benadryl is not recommended for children.
Incidentally, dimenhydrinate is found in many
over-the-counter sleep remedies for its sedative
properties. So better choices of antihistamines
for children include brands like Claritin, Reac-
tine and Aerius. These drugs are available in liq-
uid form to make them easier to give to children
in the proper doses without sedative effects.

Looking for a fair deal
LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Strathmore Times readers! I
hope you had an amazing week and
enjoyed the warm weather before we
head back into a bit of a cold spell.
I want to start off by thanking Chea-
dle Hall for hosting our Fair Deal for
Alberta Panel. We were honoured to
have Fair Deal Panel members Stephen
Lougheed and Donna Kennedy-Glans
join us to hear from you about what
you think is important for a fair deal for
Alberta within Confederation. Thank
you to my assistants Vicki Welsh, Peter
Tindall, and Joyce Bazant for all of their
work in organizing this panel as well as
our volunteers who came out early on
a Saturday to set up the room and take
down. Most inspiring was how many
great and thoughtful ideas came from
you. Your guidance will inform our
work so that we are able to best rep-
resent you both provincially and at the
national level. I know that many of you
are frustrated and angry, and we ac-
knowledge that and we hear you. I am
a proud Albertan and a proud Canadi-
an, and I am truly honoured that you
took your time on a Saturday morning
to let me know how you are feeling
about how we are being treated.
On that note, I would like to speak
about national unity. I’m sure your ta-
ble talk is similar to mine in that we are
waiting to find out the fate of the Teck
Frontier Oilsands project. We take our
environmental role very seriously, and
the federal government needs to ac-
knowledge that and give their blessing
to this project. As Minister Jason Nixon
said: “This will show whether the Prime
Minister is serious about working with
this province or not.”
This $20 billion project is waiting
for federal cabinet approval after go-
ing through the most rigorous review
process on the globe. Contrary to what
you may hear in the media, local First
Nations are onside with the project.
Teck Frontier will produce in excess
of 250,000 barrels per day and create
thousands of jobs. This project is about

hopes the Even More Strathmore initiative will help residents
to discover and explore all of them.
For the contest, which has three grand prizes of gift bas-
kets valued at $250 each worth of local product, an unlim-
ited amount of entries can be gained by snapping a picture
of your local purchase, tweeting about a great deal, or writ-
ing a quick message describing great service you have re-
ceived and posting to either Instagram, Facebook or Twitter
and using the #EvenMoreStrathmore in your post. Every time
you post to one of those three social media sites with the
hashtag, you will be entered into the contest.
The Even More Strathmore contest will run until 11:59
p.m. Feb. 29 and the winners will be chosen at random and
announced March 2. Businesses are encouraged to display
the decals in their windows until May.
“Our goal for Strathmore’s business community is to in-
crease traffic to their shops, but there’s an important goal for
all of Strathmore. We want residents to know how important
it is to support our businesses,” said Tomasta, who added
that the town aims to achieve long-term support for Strath-

Strathmore requests bylaw against conversion therapy
DEIRDRE MITCHELL-MACLEAN
Times Contributor
Since 2019, a number of municipali-
ties have implemented or are in the
process of implementing bylaws that
specifically ban the promotion or prac-
tice of conversion therapy within their
boundaries.
On Feb. 5, Strathmore added their
community to the growing list.
Councillor Bob Sobol proposed a
motion to request advocacy against the
practice and promotion of conversion
therapy with both the federal and pro-
vincial governments while also institut-
ing a municipal bylaw against them.
“Conversion therapy is a practice that
aims to change an individual’s sexual
orientation to heterosexual or gen-
der identity to cisgender which means
identifying with the sex assigned to
them at birth,” said Sobol. “It employs
various approaches from talk therapy
and medication to aversion therapy
that attempts to condition a person’s
behaviour by causing them discom-
fort through things like electric shocks
when they’re exposed to specific stim-
uli.”
Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shan-
dro has previously stated the United
Conservative government didn’t see a
need for additional legislation.
“We don’t think there’s a need to ad-
dress it specifically because it’s not a
valid health service,” Shandro’s press
secretary Steve Buick said in a state-
ment to the Edmonton Journal last May.
The “service”, though, has not gener-
ally been provided by registered social
workers or health service providers.
In a statement on the website faith-
beyondbelief.ca, Pastor Jojo Ruba stat-
ed that one “bylaw passed in Alberta
could even prevent a mom from talk-
ing to her five-year-old children about
gender identity. In some municipalities,
they claim to only target ‘businesses’
but they define ‘business’ to include
churches.”
Sobol said conversion therapy is
strongly opposed by the American Psy-
chological Association, the Canadian
Psychological Association and the Ca-
nadian Psychiatric Association. That
doesn’t stop non-licensed organizations
from providing it, however.
Pam Rocker, an LBGTQ advocate in
Calgary, posted a list of churches, uni-
versities and organizations on social
media that offer “treatment” for homo-
sexuals.
“Conversion therapy is alive and well
… in Alberta,” she said.
Municipalities in Alberta, Canada and
the United States are making efforts to
protect vulnerable people, however.
“The World Health Organization
(WHO) issued a statement in 2012 say-
ing this type of therapy poses a severe
threat to the health and human rights
of the affected persons,” Sobol said. “In
the United States, 19 states and one dis-
trict have laws or regulations protect-
ing youth from this harmful practice as
well as at least 60 cities and countries
and other states have enacted similar
protections.”
More importantly, changes are being
made here at home.
“In our own country, Ontario has
made the practice illegal for minors by
initiating an outright ban. Manitoba has
outlawed health professionals from of-
fering conversion therapy. Nova Scotia
has made it illegal for health profes-
sionals to provide conversion therapy
for minors,” Sobol said. “In our very
own province, Edmonton, Sherwood
Park and the City of St. Albert have all
enacted bylaws which ban the practice
and promotion of conversion therapy
within municipal limits. Other munici-
palities including Spruce Grove, For
McMurray and Calgary are in the pro-
cess of drafting bylaws.
“For myself, I consider this proposed
bylaw to be one dealing with very ba-
sic human rights; to suggest a person’s
sexual orientation should be consid-
ered a curable disease or a mental dis-
order, one that requires therapy to ‘fix
the problem’ is both archaic, dangerous
and very misguided,” he added. “My de-
sire with this motion is to enact a by-
law that very clearly demonstrates our
community is not okay with this type of
activity, and to urge both our provincial
and federal government to take appro-
priate action to ban this practice.”
Mayor Pat Fule and Councillors De-
nise Peterson and Jason Montgomery
voiced their support for the motion.
Councillors Tari Cockx, Lorraine Bauer
and Melanie Corbeill were not in atten-
dance.

Share the love
LINDA JENSEN
Times Contributor
The onset of the second month of
2020 is a reminder of the love we share
in mid-February.
Valentine’s Day began in Rome with
the festival of Lupercalia in the ides of
February, according to Brittanica.com.
Dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god
of agriculture, the festival celebrated
upcoming spring, fertility rites and a
lottery which paired women off with
men. Sixteen centuries ago, Pope Gela-
sius changed Lupercalia to St. Valen-
tine’s Day.
Since then, handmade paper cards
of the middle ages have become writ-
ten letters of the pre-19th century, and
punch-out cards of the 1970s.
Today, Valentine’s Day is a time to
celebrate love and relationships. Cupid
and his arrow are symbolic, as is gift
giving. Time, hugs and kisses, candy
hearts, chocolates, flowers, perfume
or jewelry along with phone calls, so-
cial media exchanges, couple’s tattoos,
concert tickets, gadgets or romantic
dinners are today’s norm.
Gift options are abundant according
to several local merchants.
“We (feature) a display of Hallmark
items,” said Debbie Reynolds, em-
ployee and Hallmark representative at
Value Drug Mart. “Stuffed toys, Valen-
tines greeting cards, various (cartoon
themed) glassware like vases, go-cups
and mugs, plus a Hallmark baby line
including photo frames, baby and chil-
dren’s books, and globes which may or
may not be suitable for Valentine’s.”
The store also features a selection
of cinnamon hearts, kids card packs,
chocolate bars, traditional heart shaped
and regular boxes of Valentine’s choco-
lates, plus Valentine’s gift bags and gift
wrap.

The Lions Regional Outdoor Rink
in Strathmore was created in 2015 as
a multi-purpose, natural, well-lit, year-
round, outdoor community rink for the
general public.
Located on land donated by the
Strathmore and District Agricultural
Society, it is a free, safe alternative to
skating on open lakes or ponds. It is
also a home for public skating, ball
or shinny hockey, lacrosse, outdoor
games or tournaments.
The outdoor rink is located just
south of the Festival of Lights at the
Strathmore ag grounds. The Town of
Strathmore maintains and operates the
facility at no additional cost to the us-
ers or developers.

munications department at the Town

LAW AND LOVE
In my tradition, as in others, the
Gospel readings for the month
of February 2020 come from the
passage we call the Sermon on the
Mount. In it, Jesus provides some
extensive teaching on living the
good or blessed life. This year, two
broad themes seemed to strike me
out of Jesus’ teaching:
First, keeping all the religious rules
and regulations, all the specific
instructions in the law of God,
does not, in and of itself, mean
you are living the good life. Simply
refraining from murdering your
enemy, for example, is no virtue
when you live wishing he or she
were dead. The good life lies
beyond that.
Second, you can’t live the good life
by ignoring all the religious rules
and regulations and the laws of
God, and acting as if they had been
abolished or made obsolete. Not
one jot or tittle, Jesus says, will
pass away from the word of God.
Holding these two themes together
has long been challenging – it’s
far easier to emphasize one and
minimize the other. For me, it
has been helpful to change the
focus from trying to live the good

life, to trying to imitate the good
God. That’s what I think all those
rules and regulations and laws
of God were originally all about –

and imitate the good God. The

pointers to God. But if God doesn’t Big battle Home test

we haven’t yet fully understood the
character of the good God.
Elsewhere, Jesus will summarize
the entirety of the good life by
saying that God is Love, and that
we live the good life by loving God
and loving our neighbor. But once
again, if God has always been
Love, then the laws that point to
God have always been pointing
to Love. So if we find in the laws
a barrier to love, then maybe we
haven’t yet fully understood the
Love that is God, nor the God who
is Love.

“We have played really well all year,
but this weekend was probably our
most consistent play,” said Clark. “The
girls are easily motivated, and their
work ethic is unbelievable. I have never
coached a team that works as hard as
this group does. It is a special experi-
ence when you have the opportunity to
work with a group of players like this.”
The Blaze have played 52 games with
a record of 46 wins and six losses. They

Obituary
SCHUNICHT, Karl Hermann
Karl Hermann Schunicht, born July 11, 1934 in Nieheim, Germany, passed away peacefully on
February 3, 2020 at 2:40 am at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta.
He is survived by his loving wife, Christel (nee Stamm); 6 children - Kristin Renger, Karla Thies-
sen (Danny), Oliver Schunicht, Silvia Schunicht, Sonia Martin (Mike), and Volker Schunicht; 10
grandchildren - Nicole (Trevor), Cody, David (Amanda), Kimberly, Jeffery, Jessica, Dawson, Emily, Jonah and
Annika; and 6 great-grandchildren - Aubry, Wyatt, Cali, Brant, Tyce and Sydney. Karl is also survived by his sister
Caecilia Rath (nee Schunicht).
Karl immigrated to Canada in 1960 from Germany. He married Christel in 1963 in Germany. He bought a farm
near Rockyford, Alberta, built a house, and raised a family of 6 children. He also took care of Christel’s parents
who immigrated to Canada in 1964. In 1994, Karl retired from farming, and moved the family home from the
farm to an acreage near Bragg Creek, Alberta.
Karl enjoyed creating all types of meaningful artwork, made from iron, brass, copper, wood, leather and many
other materials. This artwork was given to churches, chapels, family and friends and had a personal touch for
each recipient.
He was, and always will be, the ROCK of our family.
He made Canada his earthly home but his eternal home is now with God. May he Rest In Peace.
Funeral Mass was celebrated on Tuesday, February 11, 2020 at St. Rita’s Catholic Church, Rockyford, Alberta at
11:00 am. Interment St. Rita’s Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to a charity of your choice.
