throughout town, with many people
heading to work only to find a window
broken, and in some instances car win-

At approximately 1:15 a.m. Saturday
Aug. 6, things were taken a step fur-

thrown into the room of a resident of
the Wheatland Lodge. Miraculously the
resident was not harmed during the in-
cident.

Departments, and Calgary Police. If there was an emergency
in Strathmore they could use the ARES command centre,
which can be set up at the incident, and used as an Emer-
gency Operating Centre, EOC.
“There’s a number of agencies we work with in the event
of a major incident and the events we do here raise money
for the society, none of us get paid,” said Leach.
“All the money we raise for example, is through working
situations like this, or through donations. There’s no fed-
eral or provincial grants available to us so we have to turn
around and raise money this way,” said McMullan.
Leach came on board in 1988 and in 1994 he was asked
to take over as the emergency coordinator, and said at that
time there was maybe one meeting a year if that. Now they
meet every month with the exception of July, August or
Christmas and the organization now has a number of new
command vehicles. They have been told they are the largest
ARES group in North America in regards to what they have
in equipment.
The McMullan’s began working radios in 1981/82. Bev
was an original organizer of a radio group which volunteers
with city police and her and Wayne have been police vol-
unteers since.
“A friend of ours, who is one of our members was talking
about ARES…it was a radio I hadn’t operated before so we
went for our license and we joined ARES and thought we
were just going to be members,” said McMullan.
“Here during our summer season we start out with the

The Town recently began operating the newly constructed wastewater treatment plant.
The new plant a state of the art facility, with a higher capacity that will accommodate
growth in the town for years to come, and has significantly improved the quality of the
waste water discharged to the Bow River. The Town was obligated to meet a higher
environmental standard, imposed by the Alberta government. As a result of the new
plant, bio solids are extracted from the system and require disposal.
The disposal of the bio solids has become a challenging and a costly effort; currently in
the $6,000.00 per week range. The Town is currently looking at alternatives to reduce the
cost of the disposal. Additionally, the budget for the 2011 sewer program is $4,875,000.00,
which covers the cost of operating the plant.

through a provincial grant, however, the Town was responsible to fund approximately 13%
of the total cost of the $53,000,000 project. In addition, the cost of the water was in-
creased by the supplier, (the City of Calgary), at the beginning of the 2011 year. The Town
is required to repair and replace obsolete and aging water distribution infrastructure, and
additionally, to provide new infrastructure to accommodate the growth of the town.

Studying today for tomorrow’s future
The Tomorrow Project brought its mobile centre to Strathmore
Aug. 8 - 11, allowing local residents a chance to join the long-term
research study into the causes of cancer. The study targets people
aged 35 to 69 who have never had cancer, and will follow them
for a number of years because it is likely some of them will even-
tually develop a type of cancer. Mayor Steve Grajczyk, left, and

The George Freeman Trail Bridge is in a state of
disrepair and the structural integrity of the bridge
has started to fail. It was recommended the bridge
replacement take place at the end of the irrigation
season, which is Sept. 30. Chuck Renkas, project
coordinator for the town, recommended the engi-
neering portion of the contract be awarded to CIMA
Canada Inc. from Edmonton. Renkas recommended
a budget of $60,000, though he did state he thinks
it will be lower than that. Council approved the mo-
tion.

mandate was to get Strathmore more in line with
what neighbouring communities were doing. Previ-
ously council approved a budget for having a feasi-
bility study. The results of the Request For Proposal,

and a motion was made by council to postpone the
study. Since Sobol feels his role has now become
redundant he requested to step down on August 3.
His request was granted.

Bear
Encounters
In the recent weeks there
has been a huge increase in
the number of bear encounters
in the Provincial Parks and
surrounding areas. Although
bears are typically timid, bears
will become braver if they
find a food source and are not
ushered out of the area.
To ensure you have a safe

are a few tips to avoid bear
encounters…

When walking on trails, have

a bear bell attached to your

Letters to the editor

No more fence sitting

To the Editor
I farm for a living. One of the most important ma-
chines on my farm is actually my sales department,
the Canadian Wheat Board.
The federal government now wants to end the
Wheat Board’s ability to bargain on behalf of me and
my neighbours. Most of us are pretty angry about that
because working together through our Board gives us
better prices.
Without the Wheat Board, farmers and Canadian
food consumers will be right where the government
wants us … in a marketplace dominated by some of
the largest corporations in the world.
Are you aware that the farmer gets approximately
10-15 cents on the sale of a loaf of bread. You might
ask yourself who gets the rest, and why do they need
even more control of your food system.
We’ve set up an organization called the Canadian
Wheat Board Alliance to try to save our Board from
being wrecked. We’ve set up a web site www.cwba-
facts.ca with information and produced this music
video http://youtu.be/SLkbO7rMQrU to get our mes-
sage out.
Nobody can sit on the Canadian Wheat Board fence
any more. There is a crisis going on.
Why should a government with only 39 per cent of
the vote (and only 24 per cent of eligible voters) have
the right to dismantle a 75 year old institution whose
only purpose is to give farmers a fair return for their
product. You can agree with the government on a lot
of things, but you do not have to follow them blindly
on this issue.
Please share these messages with your friends and
family and let your Member of Parliament know that
you support the Canadian Wheat Board and don’t
want it changed.

ny’ Macbeth for outstanding choreogra-
phy or fight direction.
Fight direction is choreography of
fight scenes. The main goal is to pull off
a realistic looking fight while keeping
the actors safe.
Sine said fight direction in a lot of
ways is a fairly new thing, but at the
same time is something that society sees
a lot of. He has been involved in theatre
since he was young, but professionally
as a fight director he has been involved
in it for seven years. He said the first few
years were a big learning curve and the
past five years have been about putting
the skills to good work.
Both Sine and Schmidt have worked
together in the past, and are both based
out of Rosebud which is how they met.
“Both of us kind of caught the fight di-
rection bug at the same time and learned
together in a lot of ways, and that’s part
of what makes working with Nathan so
wonderful. We have a vocabulary and a
rapport together that’s pretty unique…
we’ve known each other for so long and
it allows our work to really hum,” said
Sine.
Sine said they didn’t think about be-
ing nominated while working. He said
both he and Schmidt were proud to be
working on the project, and both enjoy
working with the Shakespeare Company
but neither thought about winning any-
thing. Schmidt echoed his colleague’s
thoughts.
“I don’t think it’s ever anything you
want to really expect and put your focus
on doing that sort of thing. I knew that
the work we did was good, and I knew
that people were responding to it and
that we were really happy with the fight-
ers that we had,” said Schmidt.
“We’ve gotten to work with a few of
them more than once so you develop a
language with them so you can move a
little further forward than when you are
all trying to learn each other in one go.
“I didn’t put a lot of focus on it, but
now that we got it it’s a cool thing, it’s
really great to be recognized by peers
that the work you’ve done is of value
and good,”
“Everything just kind of hummed on
that project and both of us were just ex-
tremely proud of it in the end,” said Sine.
Schmidt said he used to swordfight
with cousins and friends when he was
younger. He thought it would be great if
it could be his job, but doubted it would
be possible. Then when he went to the-
atre school he realized it was a profes-
sion.
Schmidt is also a company member
with Rosebud Theatre and is the Head
of Acting for the Rosebud School of the
Arts. Schmidt can be seen in ‘Jake and
the Kid’ and ‘the Diary of Adam and Eve’.
Unfortunately the two men did not re-
ceive the Betty Mitchell Award, but both
were happy just to have been nominat-
ed.

Movie under the stars

The Children’s Wish Foundation hosted its first, and hopefully annual, Movie Under the Stars night.
The Ag. Society donated the grounds and the movie, Rio, took place at the Grandstand. Approxi-
mately 850 people attended, far exceeding the original goal of 300 to 400 people. Through the raffle,
50/50, donations and concession they made approximately $5,200.
As with any new event there were a couple hiccups. FreshAirCinema had issues with their projec-
tor. Backstreet Productions of Strathmore provided them with a projector so the show could go on.
FreshAirCinema have offered a free movie night, however details need to be worked out regarding
licensing and other costs that may be incurred. Children’s Wish wants the night to be free and don’t
want people to be expected to give donations for another event, so there are still fine details to be
worked out. Rhonda Sarah Robin Brandi
Once organizers know more about another movie night the information will be updated on their Face-
book event Movie Under the Stars.

Raccoons are becoming a more com-
mon sight in Alberta as their population
slowly increases. Dayna Goldsmith, a
third year veterinary student at the Uni-
versity of Calgary, is currently involved
in a research project being conducted
in conjunction with the Faculty of Vet-
erinary Medicine at the University of
Calgary, the Fish and Wildlife Conser-
vatives and the Canadian Cooperative
Wildlife Health Centre on raccoons in
Alberta.
“The reason we started this study
was because last year we collected four
raccoons from the Strathmore area and
two out of the four of them contained
a round worm parasite that had never
been previously documented within Al-
berta. Interestingly, there was also a
way of removing them from his land.
Goldsmith said then there was a neu-
rological case in a cow that was kind of
suspicious and can be caused by nema-
tode worms.
In the last 30 years or so there has
been an increase in the raccoon popu-
lation in Alberta, and people have start-
ed to notice them. Goldsmith said she’s
not sure how many are in Strathmore,
but that many people in Calgary were
surprised when she told them there are
raccoons, because no one sees them.
While the numbers are still lower than
out east, and will probably stay lower
for a while yet, they definitely have in-
creased in the last 30 years.

Times Editor
An opportunity in the Western Hockey
League has resulted in the UFA Bisons
naming a new coach for the upcoming
season.
Jeremy Friesen will stand behind the
bench of the local triple-A midget team,
after former bench boss Parry Shockey
joined the Victoria Royals of the WHL.
“After last year, I knew Shocks was
kicking some tires around and looking
to get back into the higher levels,” said
Friesen, who was an assistant with the
squad last year. “We’ve been chatting
quite a bit and I went through the (head
coach) interview process, so if Parry de-
cided to leave, then they would hire me.
“Coming into last year, that was part of
the initial conversation with Parry - not
only was it a great opportunity (to be
assistant coach) for me, but a chance to
kind of mentor under him and learn a lot.
“I knew it was going to be a one or
two year stint under him and hopefully
transition into the head coaching role. It
happened a little sooner than I thought
it was going to, but I definitely learned a
lot from him and I think it’s going to help
The Bisons finished last season with
an 18-10-6 record, good enough for third
place in the South Division. The Bisons
made it all the way to the South Divi-
sion Final, before losing to the eventual
champs, the Red Deer Optimist Rebels.
Friesen hopes to continue building on
that success this season.
“I think that there’s going to be a lot
of similarities in the way we play,” said
Friesen. “I learned a lot in that man-to-
man defensive zone that we played – I
think it’s effective and efficient and I
think it teaches these kids how to play
at the next level. That seems to be what
everyone is playing these days in some
sort of variety.
“I would like to pay a little more atten-
tion to (special teams), that’s a huge part
of success in this league.”
After last season’s successful campaign,
the Bisons expect less than five players
back this coming fall.
However, the expectations remain the
same.
“I might be a little bit less colourful
than Parry, so you might not see quite
the antics that you saw on the bench and
on the ice” laughed Friesen. “The expec-
