The third open house held by
McElhanney Consulting Services
Ltd regarding the proposed realign-
ment of Highway 1 took place Nov.
24 at the Strathmore Civic Centre.
While people agree the new pro-
posal is better than the previous
one, there are still many against it
all together.
Its going to hurt. Its really go-
ing to hurt the hotels, the gas sta-
tions, and the restaurants. Any in-
terruption in the highway is going
to have an impact, said Strathmore
Motor Products owner Hal Lust.
Were going to try to get a grass-
roots group together thats going
to oppose it vigorously because its
going to have too much of an im-
pact on the numbers of people that
work here in town.
While the new proposal isnt set
in stone just yet, its believed to be
the route that is most likely to be
accepted.
Its the current recommended
alignment. We are taking com-
ments now but at this stage of the
process were anticipating the com-
ments will be feeding into a refne-
ment of the alignment as opposed
to a wholesale change in the align-
ment, said Robert Cheng planning
Division Manager, for McElhan-
ney Consulting Services Ltd.
Cheng said the highway is work-
ing fne where it is now, but there
will come a day when Strathmore
is developed enough that the devel-
opment itself will cause congestion
and then a bypass would be need-
ed. He said it is standard practice
to develop plans well in advance of
any construction. The purpose is to
dedicate property as its developed
so that enough right of way can
be saved by the time they come to
build it.
By having these plans early we
can minimize the negative impact
or forced sales, said Cheng.

Mayor Steve Grajczyk said he is in favour of the new pro-
posal but only because it is the best of the worst.
I would like have seen them put more effort into why we
cant go through the Town of Strathmore, even if we have
to go a level higherwith a highway above the existing
highway, said Grajczyk.
I dont think we need eight lanes whatsoever, Im totally
against that. They could have taken a look at going around
Strathmore north if they have to go around. They never put
enough effort into going through the town.
Strathmore town Councillor John Rempel said he is in
favour of the new proposal, saying he thinks it will produce
more jobs and bring the business community back together.
I just cant see where its going to affect Strathmore.
The people that dont want to stop in Strathmore are not
stopping here now anyway, so instead of them speeding
through town which they do now, theyll speed around
town, said Rempel.
He said people he has spoken to on the south side of the
highway couldnt wait because it will get rid of that barrier
between the north and south sides of town.
The new proposal for Highway 1 will go along the edge
of the annexed part of town, and the current road will still
exist and people would have the option of coming through
town, or staying on the highway and avoiding Strathmore.
Anyone interested in joining Hal Lusts group and getting
on the e-mail list to keep updated can contact 403-934-3334

SAR Alberta is the provincial association for volunteer
search and rescue within the province. Its mission is to
assist search and rescue teams in their efforts to provide
a superior and dedicated level of service to the people of
Alberta.
Search and rescue in Alberta began in the early 1990s
as a grassroots response to an identifed need for trained
people to look for lost individuals in wildness settings.
Badlands Search and Rescue held an open house and
information session to the public at the Rockyford Com-
munity Centre on Nov. 26.
Over a dozen interested individuals from Rockyford and
the surrounding area came out to hear and see a Power-
Point presentation by Scott Campbell to possibly organize
a Badlands Search and Rescue Team for the area.
Campbell, who started as a volunteer frefghter at the
age of 18, continues in services industry today in many dif-
ferent areas and has a passion for the job.
SAR is commonly associated with lost children, foods,
dementia patients and fres.
Today, it is estimated that Search and Rescue Alberta pro-
vides over $2.5 million annually in infrastructure support
support of regional police, fre, emergency response, se-
curity, frst aid functions throughout the entire province,
all provided by volunteers.
Search and Rescue Association of Alberta is a non-proft
organization comprised of more than 1,240 volunteer mem-
bers in six regions and 38 teams, responsible for ground
and inland searches under the jurisdiction of the police
within all regions in Alberta.
There are many ways to show get involved and show
your support of Search and Rescue Alberta. You can:
Join a search and rescue team in your area and share
your skills
Make a fnancial donation towards equipment, training
needs or for wherever the organization needs it the most.
Make your local politicians aware that as a voting citi-
zen you support search and rescue in Alberta and you want
the Province to support it too.
Hold a fund-raising event in support of Search and
Rescue Alberta.
Watch for their volunteers in the community. Talk to the
volunteers and tell them how much you appreciate their
efforts.
Provide support during a search or training exercises,
meals, equipment etc. Tell others about SAR.
For more information on SAR and joining in on building
an organization in the Badlands Area please contact Scott

And now for
something
completely different!!
Over the next few weeks we
are going to do a mini series on
how we rate your auto insurance
and WHY we need the answers
to all of our tedious, boring
and often seemingly pointless
questions. We will talk about your
driving and insurance history, the
vehicles, the coverage and the
ever elusive but always talked
about, mysterious GRID. What is
that anyways?
I know I know, Insurance
brokers ask soooo many
questions. You just want a quick
quote, or a ballpark fgure. Why
do we pry information out of you
like theres no tomorrow???? I
assure you, its not because we
are bored and have nothing better
to do. We are not being nosy, and
its awkward sometimes to get into
the nitty grittys. Unfortunately,
we ask the questions because
your answers determine what
kind of insurance you need. As

According to some versions of the kissing lore, the proper
etiquette for kissing under mistletoe requires a man to remove
one berry when he kisses a woman. Once all of the berries are
gone, it becomes bad luck to kiss beneath that particular sprig.

The Christmas parade saw many people in town lined the
streets along the route to see what was new this year. The
weather stayed warm enough to make the night an enjoyable
experience for all. After the parade people were off to the Ag.
grounds for the opening night of the Celebration of Lights. At
the lights people had a chance to grab something to eat and
support Relay for Life, and buy mittens to keep themselves
warm while raising money for breast cancer. There were lots of
other goodies and entertainment that kept everyone entertained
until the freworks later in the night.

The month of December is a very
busy month for both CMJHS band
and the SHS band. This year, the high
school band has the opportunity to
play not only at their own concert on
Dec. 13, but also make a guest appear-
ance at the CMJHS Christmas concert
on Dec 6.
The SHS band have been working
hard on their pieces since the begin-
ning of the year, and are still pushing
through, hoping to be at their best
for both concerts. Last year, the SHS
band did a terrifc job in Red Deer
for the music festival held every year.
The band won a plaque for their hard
work. They didnt place frst, but they
were one of the top bands that year.
Now that the band program has
more students than the band room can
hold, Mrs. Zinken is hoping and work-
ing towards having the best bands.
Come and listen to a night of music at
CMJHS on Dec. 6 and support Strath-
mores music programs.

The month of November is Family
Violence Prevention month, and the
Community Crisis Society has been
promoting awareness all month. It be-
gan with roses being delivered to local
businesses with a card explaining that
the roses were for the men, women,
and children in Alberta who have died
of victims of domestic violence.
November 5 was the annual harvest
dinner and silent auction, which saw
300 people in attendance. The fnal
awareness event for the month was
the Moonlight Walk of Hope on Nov.
23.
We walk, basically around Kins-
men Park in support of a non-violent
community because November is Fam-
ily Violence Prevention month and so
thats why we do this every year, said
Paul Thomas with the Community Cri-
sis Society.
After walking around
the park the participants
walked to the Strathmore
United Church to see the
silent victims and to hear
the speeches made by the
RCMP, the mayor and other
members of the community.
We have seven (silent vic-
tims) but I think there is 50
in total, said Karen Pease,
executive director for the
Community Crisis Society.
They represent seven
people who have lost their
lives to family violence,
and each one of them has
a write-up on their chest
about who they were, when
they lived and when they
died.
The walk began in 1997,
and though some years
there are more participants
than others it is still going
strong.
If anyone would like to
call us to fnd out how they
can help the shelter for
Christmas wed invite them
to do that, said Pease.
Pease said they are look-
ing to help their families
at the shelter for Christmas
and people can all 403-394-

Letters to the editor
To the Editor
(CC - Dear Mayor Steve)
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere
thanks for the tickets for the Strathmore Rodeo. My
friend Karen and I attended Friday, Saturday and
Sunday and our only suggestion is to add a few more
days next year!
As a born and raised Calgarian, rodeo is not for-
eign to me. I spent earlier years on friends farms
and hanging around at Stampede, but not one of
those experiences compare to my frst Strathmore
Rodeo.
First, the town of Strathmore is beautiful. The vibe
in the air was ripe with the camaraderie and warmth
that is only found in rural Alberta. The weather coop-
erated perfectly, making it an easy decision to arrive
early to refresh ourselves with a cold beer and some
homemade burgers. Once fueled, we headed off to
the infeld to watch the rodeo, the mutton busters
and mini bull-riders, the wild horse racers, the bull
riders, the bucking broncs, you name it, it was there.
Although we are city girls, we felt like we belonged;
laughing along with the commentary, singing along
with the energizing music and cheering for our Al-
bertan cowboys and cowgirls along with the rest of
the folks.
It was amazing to sit along side the gates, to watch
the contestants as they psyched themselves for a
bull ride, to see the families await results and the
triumphant return of their hero back to safe ground.
Perhaps the most inspiring was watching the young
bull riders, the young teens who are learning the
ferceness of real competition, the heartbreak of de-
feat, the thrill of victory and accomplishment and the
true meaning of sportsmanship. It was breathtaking
to watch a tough, wiry young boy get thrown off a
powerful animal, to come back through the gates
to receive a hug from his dad and slap on the back
from an older kid, and thereby have his confdence
restored. A few times, when the bull prevailed, the
crushed cowboy would emerge, head hanging low,
to be bolstered by others, cheered on and told to try
again next time. I was impressed by the unfinching,
raw toughness the contestants have to possess just
to get off their duffs and get to safety. I witnessed
that to be truly tough requires an intricate balance of
intense strength and tender vulnerability.
To observe frst hand the coming of age of a true
blue cowboy is an image I will not soon forget.
I was deeply impressed by the extreme care taken
to ensure the animals were treated properly and the
swiftness of medical attention when one seemed to
be hurt. The respect shown to and for the animals
was front and centre, which allowed for us animal
lovers to feel at peace and enjoy the events.
The traditions and generations of families in-
volved in the rodeo really intensifed the experi-
ence of the weekend as well. As a native Calgarian,
I love my Stampede, but this is a completely dif-
ferent ball game! This is real rodeo. These are real
families, generations and generations of career cow-
boys, farmers, ranchers and true Albertans. I realize
there were people from all over, but my Albertan
pride stretched as far as the wide blue sky during
the Strathmore Rodeo. At the end of each day, worn
out from yahooing, crunchy from the heat and with
A great times at last summers rodeo!

Fule for Thought
Being a pet owner comes with unique challenges
and a lot of laughs. Our dog Brodie is a Brown/
White Bichon-Schitzu. Hes always thought he was
a human. He never felt he belonged in a kennel, he
eats cereal for a bed night snack, watches The Dog
Whisperer (only to scoff at the tamed ones), and
he loves car rides.
He especially loves it if motorcycles go by (I think
he wants to start a bike gang!). He hates being left
alone and one night when we were in Canmore vis-
iting the in-laws (out-laws?) my wife and I went
on a short pub crawl you know Debbie!
Anyway, we returned to the house and Brodie was
up on the in-laws bed. With a leap, Brodie raced for
the door to greet us, only to be whipped back into
the room! How would he know hed get caught on
Grandmas bra, hanging from the door knob? Brodie
looked embarrassed, Deb and her parents laughed,
and I had to go for therapy! The nightmares of see-
ing my Mother-in-laws bra wrapped around my dog!
Brodies a quick learner, too. We recently taught
him to paw the Staples That was Easy button to
get a treat. He also learned to pick raspberries off
our patch in the backyard too well. Like a drunk
at last call, Brodie picked to his hearts delight
then came the diarrhea. Youd think that would make
good fertilizer, but Deb wanted me to clean it up.
Nothing has grown there since, and Brodie wont
touch a raspberry now.

you can send him an e-mail at Pat.Fule@ghsd75.ca)
Sharing laughs with mans best friend
my head full of names and scores, I wandered back to my car
reluctant to drive away.
So, next year, my friends and I have decided to pitch a tent,
bring some smokies and camp it out ... so that nothing else will
exist for those three days besides the rodeo! Id love to even
volunteer and really be a part of the action. Although born in
the city, my country roots sure surfaced during the rodeo. Now,
dont get me wrong, I defnitely showed up for the purpose of
cowboy huntin, but what I came away with will remain in my
heart.
It was a truly an all-round positive and amazing experience
and I really only have one thing left to say...
Is it rodeo time yet?
Thanks again,

The busiest retail season of the year
has already begun and with an increase in
fnancial transactions comes an increase
in opportunities for fraud artists. This year,
keep your holiday shopping joyous by
taking a few extra precautions:
Shopping in Person: Even though
you will be rushed and thinking about a
thousand things, try to remain alert to your
surroundings.
When paying with a credit or debit card,
never lose sight of your card. Whenever
possible, swipe your card yourself rather
than giving it to the cashier.
Always shield your PIN when entering it.
Dont be embarrassed youre not insulting
anyone.
Do not keep a written record of your bank
PIN number(s) or your social insurance
number in your wallet or handbag.
If you suspect anything unusual when
using a point-of-sale terminal (pin pad) or
an ATM, do not use the machine and report
it immediately to the police or the fnancial
institution.
Shopping Online: Shop only from your
home computer and equip it with the latest
web browser. Using your home computer is
much safer than shopping at a terminal in
an Internet caf or library.
If you plan to buy something, go directly
to a stores website by manually typing its
address into your web browser. Dont click
on links in an e-mail message even if you
know who sent it.
Verify secure connections. When
shopping on-line, do not enter any fnancial
information if you see a broken-key or open
padlock symbol on your Internet browser.
This means the transaction is not secure
and could be intercepted by a third party.
When the key is complete or the padlock is
locked, your browser is indicating a secure
transaction.
Consider using a reliable third-party
payment company such as PayPal, a credit
card with a low credit limit or a single-use
payment card.
Unlike secure order forms on a web site,
e-mail messages are not private. Do not
send confdential personal or fnancial
information by e-mail.
When browsing auction sites or
unauthorized retail websites, be cautious
of drastic sale prices on sought-after
designer items and popular electronics. The
legitimate goods are rarely discounted.
Monitor your bank and credit card and
statements on-line. Electronic statements
allow you to review your purchases and
payments as they happen rather than
waiting until the end of the month to review
your paper statement. Immediately report
any discrepancies to your bank or to the
company that issued the credit card.

Earlier this month Crime stoppers did
a reenactment of a crime committed
near Carseland in late October. There
was a break and enter at the Terrex En-
ergy oil lease site near Carseland, and
police suspect the perpetrators com-
mitted another crime only a few miles
away.
At the Terrex site the suspects broke
into a gated compound, and drove a
vehicle to one of the buildings on the
property, where they gained access
into a trailer through a sliding window.
An enclosed cargo utility trailer, a
quad runner and a number of other
items and tools were stolen from the
site.
Its fairly common unfortunately,
said Const. Clinton Chisan with the
Strathmore RCMP.
Obviously I dont know where these
suspects are from but, in my experi-
ence, a lot of them are coming in from
the cities out into the nearby rural ar-
eas.
Though Terrex Energy Field Foreman
Blair Mackie wants to see everything
returned and is obviously upset about
the theft, that is not the thought fore-
most on his mind.
What we were trying to get at is the
danger for people who go in there not
realizing the situation they are putting
themselves in without the proper train-
ing, said Mackie.
Its not just potentially dangerous for
the suspects, but while they are bum-
bling around in the dark at the sites
there is a chance they could fip a
switch or pull something out that could
be detrimental and cause a sour gas
leak or worse.
The suspects did not go into the pro-
duction area at all but theres always
that possibility when people go in
there and look around, said Mackie.
Because of this we are absolutely
considering other options (for security)
and I think were moving towards that
too, obviously I dont want to say too
much about what were doing that
will be the end result of it, there will
be more security at site, said Mackie.
Thefts from oil sites have become an
increasingly common thing, and Chisan
said at the end of last year the RCMP
began an oil and gas industry theft ini-
tiative. Members from Strathmore, Aird-
rie, Gleichen, Beiseker and some of
the Calgary specialized units gathered
together to talk with some of the oil
industry members about how to deal
with these types of activities.
Basically it amounted to better com-
munication between all the parties.
Just because we have this break and
enter in Strathmore doesnt mean that
the members in Gleichen or in Airdrie
are aware of it, and then they get hit
the next day and its likely by the same
people, said Chisan.
So were just trying to get more of
an information fow going, also part
of this was to raise awareness of this
in the oil industry itself. Lots of times
until it comes to somebodys attention
they dont realize that maybe they are a
potential target or they may take more
stringent efforts in ensuring their own
security at these sites.
Chisan said it is in everyones best
interest to call the RCMP to report sus-
picious vehicles or activity seen late at
night in rural areas. He said sometimes
its the only lead they get and it can
help lead to the arrest and prosecution
of the suspect.
The same people who are doing
these thefts and break and enters to the
oil sites, a lot of times its the same sus-
pects that are out there breaking into
rural residences and stealing vehicles
from rural areas like farmyards.

Strathmore dancer Neve Raycroft
will once again be performing for
the Alberta Dance Theatre, this year
in the production of Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory.
Raycroft had to audition for her part
in the production, which will have
its own twists to the classic storyline.
The story is told through dance and is
made up of dancers aged 7-17. Each
group will perform four dances, and
it can be with a combination of ages.
In one of Raycrofts dances she gets to
be a Charlie, and there are three other
Charlies in her group.
She had a great time at the audi-
tion, it was a great experience, she
was on cloud nine. She had gone and
there were other friends from the stu-
dio that were there and she seemed to
really enjoy herself, said Marnie Ray-
croft, Neves mother.
Shes a completely different person
when shes on stage, when shes on
stage its where she belongs.
At the end of Alice in Wonderland
last year the Alberta Dance Theatre
announced they planned to run Char-
lie and the Chocolate Factory this
year. Neve watched both movies and
read the book a number of times to
study and prepare for her audition.
Neves other roles include being an
Oompa loompa and a cowgirl, repre-
senting Mike Teavees character from
the movies and books.
I think it would be my cowgirl
costume, said Neve about which cos-
tume is her favourite.
Neve was also recently named the
recipient of a $200 dance scholarship
from the Jaimie Hill and Tammy-Lynn
Powers Memorial Foundation. Jaimie
and Tammy-Lynn were two danc-
ers from Calgary who lost their lives
while en route to perform in Pentic-
ton with their fellow dancers. A me-
morial foundation has been set up in
their name to allow future dancers to
carry on their dream.
Part of the scholarship is that it
goes towards dance, so we would like
to allow her to use it to go towards
something that maybe she wouldnt
have otherwise been able to do with-
out the extra money, said Marnie.
That way she can add to her dance
repertoire and continue to move for-
ward.
I think I might use some for an aer-
ial camp, said Neve.
The production of Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory hits the stage of the
University of Calgary theatre on Dec.
1 for two sold out school shows and is
offcially open to the public Dec. 2 to
4. Raycrofts Grade 4 classmates from
Westmount, and the Grade 3, 4 and 5
students from Trinity Lutheran Chris-
tian Academy will be attending one of
the performances on the frst.
I dont think Neve gets nervous to
go on stage, thats for sure. I think
they just eat it up when someone that
they know comes to the audience, it
just kind of fuels them, said Marnie.
She loves to be on stage and I truly
believe one day shell be some sort of
performer on stage doing something,
or teaching in some way. Its so amaz-
ing to go somewhere and watch your
child on stage and to see how happy
they are; its a good thing. It makes all
those drives and those early mornings
and late nights worthwhile.
Local dancer once again performs
with Alberta Dance Theatre
Neve Raycroft, 9, has been busy rehears-
ing for her roles in Charlie and the Choco-
late Factory with the Alberta Dance Theatre
which hits the stage Dec. 1-4.

November is Family Violence Prevention Month.
Thank you to those who came out on November 23rd to walk with us around Kinsmen Park
to remember victims of family violence.
Keep the month of June 2012 in your thoughts for the frst annual Strathmore Step Up event
details announced nearer the time.
On Nov. 26 Christmas was in the air when the Strathmore Farmers market held their annual Christmas
market. Hundreds of people came through the doors at the Civic Centre to see what kind of goodies
they could pick up this year. There was everything from wine, to hand knit sweaters, wreaths and lots
of fresh baked goods.
Play brings human cloning
issues to the stage
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
Since Dolly the Sheep arrived, there
have been debates about the possibil-
ity of human cloning. Dolly was the
frst mammal to be cloned in the mid
90s, causing controversy and debate
over whether geneticists had gone to
far.
The script of A Number, written by
Caryl Churchill in 2002, brings to life
the possibility of human cloning, and
was on the Engineered Air Theatre
stage at the EPCOR centre from Nov.
23 to 27.
Canadian Badlands Passion Play co-
director Barrett Hileman decided to
direct the play for the Fire Exit The-
atre.
I think it went well, we had maybe
a little smaller houses than I hoped.
We did something different at the end
of the show, we had a talk back after
every show and we had just some re-
ally great discussion that was started
by the play, said Hileman.
I think that part was really exciting
and I think thats part of the theatre
companys mandate is to spark con-
versation and start conversation, so in
terms of that I think it was really suc-
cessful.
The play begins with a father and
the frst clone son, Bernard, who has
just found out he was cloned. The fa-
ther starts off saying he didnt know,
blaming the hospital and threatening
to sue. After the son mentions there
were others, the father fnally admits
to cloning him. The father then lies
and says that the original son and wife
died in a car crash, when in fact the
wife committed suicide. The story line
continues from there with the frst
clone eventually fnding out the truth
and the father ending up miserable.
Hileman knew it was a script he
wanted to direct.
Some of the issues that it raises
about cloning and in a very sort of re-
lational human way not a sci-f kind of
way, said Hileman.
It talks about the consequences,
what would happen if we had this ca-
pability and we had the choice to just
do this.
Hileman said since Dolly was cloned
there have been cows, monkeys and
all sorts of other animals cloned. He
is sure we are getting closer to hu-
man cloning being a possibility, and
he thought it was a discussion that
should be had.

More than your average pawn shop
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
Strathmore Pawn and Collectables is more
than your average pawnshop and recently it has
moved to a new location.
This is the fourth move since opening seven
years ago and while the mailing address remains
the same, they are now next door in the old
Sears store, located at 410 Lakeside Blvd.
Were thankful to the community for support-
ing us through all of our moves, said Derrick
Andersen, who co-owns the shop with his wife
Tanya.
When I opened it I wanted to do antiques,
but there wasnt enough of a market for just an-
tiques so I found two things that were needed
and combined them, said Tanya.
The thought of a pawn shop can often invoke
the thoughts of a crammed, musty smelling
place that can be diffcult to navigate through,
which is not the case with the Strathmore Pawn
Shop.
The shop has a little bit of everything for ev-
eryone. They have movies, vinyl records, jewelry,
a large collection of antique items and furniture
to name a few things. People can also sell their
scrap gold to the shop.
The furniture collection is a new addition to
the store and the Andersens said they will only
accept quality or antique items. Every day they
are buying new items so there is always some-
thing new.
Were hoping our new location will be easier
for people to look through and be a more enjoy-
able shopping experience, said Tanya.
If you have stuff to sell bring it in and well
give you a fair estimate and if you bring it in it
doesnt mean you have to sell it.
We like the store to be fun to go through,
we like to be a fun shopping experience, were
always looking for interesting things.
Almost everything in the store is negotiable
and Derrick said dont be afraid to haggle with
them, but be reasonable in your offers.
Once they come in they fall in love with the
place usually, said Derrick.
Lots of people like to come in here and just
look around, theres lots of stuff to look through.
Appraisals are available if people are interest-
ed and if the Andersens dont think they can sell
certain items, or if they dont deal in them, they
will try to point people in the right direction.
The shop has great gifts or can inspire ideas for
Christmas and everything they sell is guaran-
teed. Pictures of what the store has to offer can
also be found on Facebook at Strathmore Pawn
Collectables.
Derrick and Tanya Andersen own the Strathmore Pawn and Collectables
shop in town and are encouraging people to come visit them in their new
location.

Dealership celebrates with community
Mario Prusina
Times Editor
Bryon Smith Ford celebrated their facility
grand opening in style on Nov. 24 with their of-
fcial ribbon cutting ceremony.
Led by local dignitaries and offcials from the
parent Ford company, the dealership hosted a
huge party to commemorate the grand open-
ing.
According to Ford Western Region General
Manager, E.G. (Gerald) Wood, the new facil-
ity symbolizes what the parent company envi-
sioned for all of its dealerships.
The idea is to get a more consistent look no
matter what community you go into - that is
really what the millennium design is all about,
said Wood. When I drive into these communi-
ties, when the new store is completed and you
see (a) picture from six months ago, then you
really, truly (see the) wow.
When you see it in its real form, it truly is a
proud moment for us.
According to owner Bryon Smith, the new
dealership creates a bond that can be shared
with the community and the workers.
Im very proud to be a Ford dealer and to
be in the community of Strathmore, said Smith.
We have a state-of-the-art facility that is pretty
special were all about doing things right. Our
training is frst class, the expectation of our staff
is frst class. Its all about creating customers for
life its about ensuring that our clients get the
greatest value for the dollars they spend.
Byron Smith Ford hosted their facility grand opening celebration on Nov. 24 at the dealership. Dignitaries from the town and along
with offcials from the parent Ford company were on hand to take part in the event.

show the love of Jesus for children and communities across the
world. For more information or to check out how you can get

On Nov. 26 new Divas owner Susan Leinweber introduced herself to
customers when she held the grand reopening. Leinweber bought the
store from the previous owner in early October. She had always liked
the store and when she saw it was for sale she knew she had to buy
it. Customers dont have to worry about any big changes coming into
the store anytime soon. Divas will continue selling fresh fowers, home
dcor and there are plenty of Christmas items for sale. As of right now
kind of keeping it the same until i get to know the customers and the
people to see what theyre looking to see, said Leinweber.

Carseland publiC benefit Club
Since 1912 the Carseland Public Beneft Clubs intention has
been to augment programs for those in need as well as pro-
vide a service to improve community welfare.
As a not-for-proft organization, the PB Club exists solely
to promote the health, well being, safety, and education of
the general population of the Carseland district. For ninety-
nine years the PB Club attempts to fll or enhance any void in
needed service areas that relate or affect Carse-
land and its surrounding population. The PB
Club is not facility driven, nor sports or agri-
culturally focused, but has supported a variety
of populations within the larger county area
(i.e.: seniors, children, maternity, voluntary as-
sociations).
Historically the PB Club has been for female
members only. However this was more due
to the fact that the men were either working
the land or serving in the armed forces. The division of labor
was so much more distinct back then; females predominantly
did stitching and cooking. In 1998, open membership was
discussed and it was agreed that any community member was
welcome to join. There has yet to be a male member. The
Carseland Public Beneft Club does have a broad-based mem-
bership of ladies living in and around Carseland township.
In April 2012 the Club will celebrate their 100th Anniver-
sary. Because their original undertakings included extensive
support to the Red Cross (for example: knitting socks for de-
ployed soldiers, sewing bandages and slings, and maintaining
a Prisoner of War Fund) they have chosen a military theme
to celebrate their centennial. The Club believes the power
of future community success lies within our next generation
and, in this theme, has invited the Alberta Army Cadet League
to participate in their celebration; showcasing their training,
discipline and commitment of youth to building our nation.
Feature Decade: 1972 1982
Feature Decade Member: Mrs. eleanor (ellie) taylor
When asked to write about a Decade Member for the Carse-
land Public Beneft Club, I tore into the minutes of that time
and reviewed the events of this amazing group of woman.
You see at this decade, when I would hear of another P.B.
meeting, it meant my mother was off and out the door and
all us kids had extra time on the T.V. or telephone. Little did
I know the time and commitment these ladies had for our
community. Eleanor (Ellie) Taylor is one of these women. El-
lie became a member 1961 and during the time of this de-
cade she reigned as President and 2nd Vice President. Cater-
ing many events including weddings, corporate dinners, and
many community functions, was a large part of the P.B. clubs
moneymaking efforts. Ellie was and still is very involved in
all aspects of the fundraising for the club. Ellie is also an in-
credible piano player and she has shared her
talents in many of the community events. She
served on many committees, including on both
History BooksTrails to the Bow and More
trails to the Bow. Her timeless energy and the
enormous volunteer hours have made her an
ambassador both within and out of our com-
munity. Ellie is still an active member of our
Carseland Public Beneft Club and as I read the
minutes of the decade, I realize how very fortu-
nate to have her and many other women like her in our lives,
past & present.
World events from this decade:
1972 - Watergate Scandal commences with the arrest of fve
White House operatives who were caught
1975 The beaver is named as the offcial emblem of Can-
ada.
1977 The frst diesel automobiles are introduced by Gen-
eral Motors
1980 Mount St. Helens erupts in Washington creating an
environmental disaster.
1981 Prince Charles marries Lady Diana Spencer
PB Club events from this decade:
1972 Bought a fridge for the Hall, $25.00
1974 Letter was sent to Parliament protesting the introduc-
tion of the metric system
1977 Carseland Public Beneft Club 65th Anniversary was
celebrated with a steak fry at the River
1978 Letter sent to the County regarding putting a fence
around the dump

Hussar 4-H Club Reporter
Our meeting was on Nov. 14 at the Hus-
sar curling club. For Roll Call we had to
guess what the weight of our calf would
be at weigh in. Jayden Nail reported on
his dad being scared the most at the
Haunted Atlas Coal mine. We are combin-
ing our club with the 4-H horse club, and
will be called the Hussar 4-H Club. Our
club is going to decorate the trees in front
of the area at our December meeting. We
are also going to sponsor a family or kids
for Christmas. Daun held a diary work-
shop after our meeting was done, please
remember to bring your completed dia-
ries for last year to the Dec. 12 meeting
and hand them in for marking.
We held weigh in on Nov. 26, at Barry
and Leanne Kaisers shop. The three win-
ners who guessed closest to their calves
weights were, Jourdynn Sammons, Ciara
Sandum and Brendan Fraser, way to go!
They each won a gift card. Thank you
very much Barry, Leanne and family for
the use of your shop once again!
Remember to wear warm clothes to
the Dec. 12 meeting and remember it is
Christmas gift exchange, pot luck supper
and tree decorating!

Even though Thanksgiving is over, twelve
Hussar avid curlers came out for their best
shot at winning a turkey in their annual Hot
Shots Tournament on Nov. 26.
Usually this event happens a little earlier
in the fall as Hussar kicks off its curling
season, however schedules didnt permit it
until now.
A Hot Shots Tournament consists of
twelve curlers curling a series of specialty
shots until they get down to a seven-fnalist
core group. These seven then curl the spe-
cialty shots again, dropping the player with
the least amount of points at each shot.
The specialty shots include the follow-
ing for those who are avid curlers: Hit and
Stay, Draw to the Button, Draw through the
Port, The Raise, Hit and Roll and fnally the
Double Takeout.
The winner in the Tournament was Kev-
in Taubert who won tickets to the Turkey
Curl, which took place immediately follow-
ing the Hot Shots Tournament.
The Turkey Curl is a whole other event
within the tournament itself. Participants
pay $3 a round with eight people at each
table playing a round of cards. The person
who wins the round wins a turkey. Quite
a novel fundraiser for all involved, as each
table makes $24 per round of cards.
The Hussar Curling Club gave away 88
turkeys at the event.
Hussar is well underway with their sea-
son as the Mens Travel League is on Thurs-
day nights alternating between Hussar and
Standard. Their mixed Square League is
held on Tuesday nights.

After a 7-2-5 record to start the sea-
son, the UFA Bisons were looking at
the NW Calgary Flames as a measur-
ing stick.
The local triple-A midget team used
the second-place Flames as a gauge
to see how they stack up in the AMHL
standings.
Unfortunately, after their frst clash
of the season, there are more ques-
tions than answers.
Decimated by some poor offciat-
ing, the UFA Bisons were hurt by two
powerplay goals in the frst period
en route to a 5-2 loss to the Flames
on Nov. 24 at the Father David Bauer
Arena in Calgary.
According to Bisons head coach
Jeremy Friesen, the men in stripes
played a pivotal part in the contest.
This (game) is a little more disap-
pointing because I thought the guys
were ready Ive never seen our guys
more prepared than they were to-
day they knew what was at stake.
The frst 30-40 seconds we came out
hard, said the coach. Im not going
to make excuses, but I thought the of-
fciating in the frst period was very,
very poor and way sub-par for what
we expect in this league.
This is the second time weve seen
this guy and its the exact same thing.
That is something that has to get
addressed and fxed, thats for sure.
(However) were not going to use
that as an excuse we came back in
the second and third we did have a
push back, (but) at the end of the day,
it just wasnt enough.
I thought the offciating in the frst
period took away a lot of momentum
and we just couldnt build anything or
sustain anything.
The Bisons were nailed for 14 in-
fractions, while the Flames were
nabbed only eight times in the game.
The Bisons allowed a goal 1:49 and
4:37 into the frst period and be-
cause of all the penalties - were out-
shot 23-4 after 20 minutes.
After falling 2-0, Rylan Muenchrath
and Parker Evan-Campbell fed Arron
Macklin for a powerplay goal to cut
the defcit. Macklin scored his second
goal of the game in the third, as the
Bisons poured on the pressure, but
had only one goal to show for it.
I think that weve played well
throughout the year, but games like
this opens your eyes to the competi-
tion and how good you have to be
every shift, every night, said forward
Markson Bechtold. Were a team with
four good lines, we can all play, but
we only had two lines going (tonight).
Its tough to be successful against
good teams like the Flames (without
everyone pulling their weight).
Its really frustrating because we
know we have the team to win every
night, we can be frst place. If not all
of the guys show up for a big game
like this, its tough.
The Bisons rebounded from the
loss when they travelled to Medicine
Hat on Nov. 27. After allowing a pair
of goals late in the third period to
fall 4-3, the Bisons evened the scored
with 2:39 left in the game, before
scoring the game winner with 1:43
left to secure the 5-4 win.
Captain Mitch McAllister recorded
a goal and an assist, while Muench-
rath, Kevin ORourke, Conner Bleack-
ley and Owen Ferguson each scored
once for the Bisons. With the win, the
Bisons improved to 8-3-5 on the sea-
son.
The Bisons were back in action in
Calgary Nov. 30 (result not available
as of press time) when they tangled
with the Calgary Buffaloes. The team
returns to the confnes of the Strath-
more Family Centre Dec. 2 (8 p.m.) to
host the Calgary Royals.

With some shady offciating, the UFA Bisons were sent to the penal-
ty box early and often in their matchup with the NW Calgary Flames
on Nov. 24 at the Father David Bauer Arena in Calgary. Despite bat-
tling back, especially in the third period, the Bisons lost 5-2 to the
Flames, before rebounding to defeat the Tigers 5-4 on Nov. 27 in
Medicine Hat.

WOLDUM, Heiran
Heiran Woldum, 92, passed away
peacefully on Thursday, November
24, 2011 in Strathmore, Alberta.
Heiran was born September 20, 1919 in Decorah,
Iowa to Nels and Caroline Woldum who frst settled
in the Strathmore area in 1908. In the late 40s, while
Heiran was employed as a school bus driver, he met
the love of his life his wife Dorothy. On November
12, 1949 Heiran and Dorothy were married. They
farmed on the Woldum homeplace until 1955
when they moved east of Strathmore to Dorothys
homeplace where they continued to farm. Over the
years, Heiran played an active role in shaping his
community. He served on the Strathmore Co-op
Association from its beginning to the amalgamation
with the Calgary Co-op (35+ years). He was also
involved in the Strathmore Lions Club and served
as President for many organizations, including:
Strathmore U.F.A. local, Glen Valley Telephone Co.,
Elwood Mutual Telephone Co., and the Strathmore
Rural fre association, which he also helped
organize. Heiran also enjoyed curling. When
semi-retired, Heiran worked with Alberta Hail &
Crop Insurance as a crop adjustor. In 1989, Heiran
offcially retired from farming life and he and
Dorothy moved into town. He enjoyed his retirement
and his many hobbies. Always one to tinker with
gadgets, Heiran appreciated the inner-workings of
clocks and watches. At the age of 80 he mastered
computers, and at 90 started working with his frst
laptop. In January, Heiran moved to Strathmore
Continuing Care. He is survived by his wife of
62 years, Dorothy; children Ken (Hilda) Woldum

The South Central volleyball Zone
Championships took place Nov. 18 and
19, with teams from Strathmore and
Wheatland County travelling to compete
for their spot.
The Strathmore High School JV girls
Spartans took off to Canmore for their
tournament. In the frst match they
played the home team. Coach Jerry
Flaws said the girls had a bad case of
nerves, and they could not beat about
the well-supported Canmore team.
The girls relaxed between games and
were able to come out strong against
George Macdonald from Airdrie. It was
a steady fght to the semi-fnal game for
the girls, who never gave up. Flaws said
the semi-fnal game against Foothills
Composite was exciting and entertain-
ing.
The Spartans lost a close one and were
placed in the bronze medal game, said
Flaws.
Next up they were against Holy Trinity
Academy from Okotoks, and Flaws said
like all of their matches against them this
year it went to the third game.
The Spartans lost with a score of 15-
12, placing fourth in the South Central
Zone Championship. This season the
team has played in fve tournaments,
winning two gold medals, two silvers
and one bronze. They also won the Foot-
hills League Championship banner.
The girls are not just good athletes,
Local volleyball teams wrap up season
The Wheatland Kings presented three
players with the Kevin OKeefe me-
morial Scholarship prior to their home
game versus the Red Deer Vipers on
Nov. 26 at the Strathmore Family Cen-
tre. making the presentation were (l-r)
Linda Grove (Grove Contract Operat-
ing & Oilfeld maintenance), Betty-Ann
Christie (murphy Christie management),
Courtney OKeefe (Animal Care Centre
of Strathmore and the OKeefe family),
miles OKeefe and Dixie OKeefe to re-
cipients mike Samoil, Austin Larsen and
Bryce Halverson of the Wheatland Kings.
After the puck was dropped, the Kings
allowed four frst-period goals en route
to a 5-1 loss.

Doug Taylor Photos
they are dedicated to their sport, said
Flaws.
The Standard Rams Senior girls vol-
leyball team had a chance to advance to
their South Central Zone Championships
after placing second in Acme at the East
Regional Zones. The girls were in Delia
for their championship where they came
second in their pool.
The team, made up of three grade 9
students, two grade 11s and four grade
12s, faced Acme in the semi-fnal game
and lost, putting them out of the running
for provincials this year.
In the bronze medal game the girls
went up against Morrin, but it just wasnt
meant to be and the team wound up with
fourth place in the 1A zones this year.
It feels very odd as this is the frst
time in eight years that we have not been
preparing to head to provincials, said
coach Susan Moncks.
We showed some really great im-
provement over the course of the sea-
son, but this weekend was just not ours.
Darren Perizzolo, head coach of the
Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks Junior and
Senior Varsity Womens teams said they
had a fairly good season this year, fn-
ishing with two-second place, and two
third place fnishes at tournaments this
year.
We had a tough Friday night in zones
and very strong Saturday morning. Un-
fortunately due to the losses the night
before, we were knocked out of the tour-
nament after the round robin, said Per-
izzolo.
Jr A Hawks volleyball coach Nicole
Cordes had implemented a new strategy
this year, and said overall the girls had a
strong year and showed an understand-
ing of the 6-2 system by the end of the
season.
Our Zone playoff went quite well. We
fnished third in our pool and lost our
quarter fnal match which went to three
very close games, said Cordes.
All of our games were extremely close
with a few of our games going to 24-26
fnal scores. The girls were communicat-
ing well and rarely missed a serve; really
it was anyones Zone as all teams were
very evenly matched. I told the girls that
ending the season like that was some-
thing to be proud of, we were defnitely
competitive.
Yvonne Sadek
Strathmore Skate Club President
The Strathmore Skate Club want to let our skaters
know how proud we are as they skated at the Spin,
Sparkle & Jump in the Calgary Region Open Competi-
tion at the Calalta Club November 18-20, 2011. There
was hard work done by all of our competitive skaters
and our two coaches in preparing for this competition.
