The voters in the Strathmore/Brooks riding
went against the provincial grain. They ousted
Arno Doerksen, the Progressive Conservative
candidate who represented the riding in the leg-
islature for the past four years. Hale beat Doerk-
sen by 2421 votes. Hale gained 8,158 votes and
Doerksen had 5,737 with 409 going to Brad Bai-
ley of the NDP and 297 to Alex Wychopen. The
Separation party had 68 votes.
I would like to thank Arno for running a good
campaign it was a pleasure running against him;
and thank all of my volunteers, my campaign
team, the constituency board and all my sup-
porters for their dedication and support for win-
ning the riding, said Hale on fnding out he had
won the election for his riding. I am one hun-
dred per cent committed to taking Strathmore
and Brooks constituency views to Edmonton
and make sure that this riding is looked after.
Arno Doerksen responded with this short
message to his former constituents and wish-
es for success to the new MLA for Strathmore/
Brooks.
It has been a pleasure and an honour to rep-
resent the residents of Strathmore-Brooks for the
past four years. I would like to thank my wife
Wanda, and my family for their continued sup-
port during my time as MLA and during the cam-
paign. I would also like to thank my campaign
team for their tremendous effort over the course
of election. While we did not win the election,
we made many friends and helped engage mem-
bers of our communities in the democratic pro-
cess and for that we should be very proud of our
efforts, said Doerksen.
My family and I wish the new MLA for Strath-
more-Brooks success as he becomes the provin-
cial representative for this area.
The provincial outcome was a surprise to some
as many thought that the Wildrose party might
replace the PCs in this election. The popular
poll listed by Forum Research Inc. in the Toronto
Globe and Mail indicated Wildrose would clean
up the house. However, they evidently didnt
consider the silent majority. The Provincial totals
have the PCs with 61 seats, Wildrose with 17,
Liberals 5 and NDP 4.
There was strong support for the PCs over
Wildrose in both Edmonton and Calgary. How-
ever in Red Deer and most rural communities
the voter margin was not as strong with vote
margins closer in number.

There may be some indication that
the Wildrose partys stance on prop-
erty rights hit a chord with rural vot-
ers while the PC promise of divesting
more funds to municipal governments
resonated with the urban vote.
In the previous election, Liberals
shared the offcial opposition retain-
ing eight seats; Wildrose had four,
NDP-two, and the Alberta Party one
seat. This year there were four more
ridings added and the Liberals have to
move on over, as Wildrose gained 12
seats. Liberals with fve seats will have
to share the underdog position with
the NDP who retained four.
Many voters may have been unsure
whom they were voting for prospec-
tive Senators, other than relating to the
party affliation.
Strathmore went against the provin-
cial tide here as well by voting Wil-
drose candidates Raymond Germain, a
gas-line operator and Rob Gregory, a
former police offcer as their top two
choices with Doug Black, chair of the
University of Calgarys board of gover-
nors of the PCs coming third. Victor
Marciano-Wildrose, the former execu-
tive director and the former chair of
the Conservative National Policy Com-
mittee followed closely behind Doug
Black. Scott Tannas, president of the
Western Financial Group was the next
favorite. The Evergreen Party repre-
sentative trailed next, with all the inde-
pendents spread between 397 to 945
votes.
Provincial choices turned the exact
reverse putting PC Doug Black in frst,
Scott Tannas-PC party second and PC
Party Mike Shaw, Wildrose Raymond
Germain, Rob Gregory and Victor Mar-
ciano all on their heels. All other can-
didates averaged between three and
six percent of the vote. It is speculated
that Prime Minister Steven Harper will
choose his next senators from those
elected in Alberta.

You bought a new
car, now what?
Buying a new car is exciting.
Whether its brand new off the lot, or
brand new to you, you need to know
how the rules of insurance work.
This is a pretty grey area, but here
goes.
If you are buying a new vehicle, you
will need insurance and registration
before you drive it away. Even if you
own other vehicles, you cannot borrow
a plate and rely on your insurance to
cover the car.
When you buy insurance, you will
notice on the pink slip that it actually
has the year/make/model and VIN
number of the particular car that is
insured. And thats it. Unless.....
You are SUBSTITUTING a vehicle. If
you have sold, traded, or donated your
previous car then your insurance will
cover the replacement car up to a point
and only for a small amount of time.
What happens in the this case is that
the insurance you had on your previous
vehicle will be transferred onto the new
vehicle. So, if you have just liability
(PLPD) on the original car, then that is
all your new one will be covered for.
You do not magically get coverage
for collision and comp on the new car!!
You have up to 2 weeks to get
insurance changed over to the new

car when it is being substituted. Try not to wait till the last
possible moment to do this. Its actually kind of a favor from
the insurance company to transfer the coverage over if you
were to buy on the weekend when we are all closed!!! There
is a possibility you will still get a ticket for not having proper
insurance on the car, so be careful. If you have simply parked
your original car and bought another one, your insurance is not
going to transfer over.
DO NOT FORGET TO REGISTER YOUR CAR!!!! Your bill of
sale, insurance papers and registration all need to have the
same name on them!!

Some big changes within the Strath-
more and District Chamber of Commerce
have taken place recently, most notably
the appointment of Debbie Wakelam as
the new president. Wakelam, who has
taken over from former President Steve
Jeffery, was quick to explain how Jef-
ferys current accusations of plagiarism
did not affect his role within the cham-
ber.
His term was up and it was up to him
to run again if he wanted, and he chose
not to.
Wakelam, who grew up in our commu-
nity and is the owner of the Meadowlark
senior care home, frst became a mem-
ber of the chamber to establish credibil-
ity for her business.
With Wakelam at the helm, the cham-
ber is moving forward with many great
ideas to show how current chamber
members, and other businesses in the
county, can get the most out of their
memberships.
We are looking more at marketing
techniques for a better value to our
members big and small. There are three
key points I am focusing on, network-
ing opportunities, member visibility and
establishing a member-to-member pro-
gram, explains Wakelam.
With the mix of diverse businesses
within Wheatland County, the chamber
can provide networking opportunities
to help connect local entrepreneurs,
New chamber
president
gain awareness, promote partnerships
and build referrals for their business. As
well, low cost advertising opportunities
are available. With membership visibil-
ity the chamber is promoting window
decals of the chamber logo and the use
of the logo on websites to let the com-
munity know your business is a mem-
ber. The member-to-member program is
exclusive to chamber members. This in-
cludes discounts, offers and value added
opportunities.
We are also hoping to have a once-a-
month deal where a business can have
an open house for other members, this
can promote what they do within the
community and offer networking possi-
bilities to other businesses in the coun-
ty, adds Wakelam.
With a fresh board mixed with new
and old members there is defnitely a
new thought process of how we can
bring better awareness to business in
Strathmore. Your investment in a cham-
ber membership will not only beneft
your business but, with combined efforts
and ideas we will go forward to help
build a stronger community and Strath-
more Chamber of Commerce, Wakelam
further explains.
Studies have shown that being a
chamber member businesses rated more
favourably by consumers and the com-
munity. Because our membership ranges
from individual citizens, to small busi-
ness, to large corporations we have now
introduced new membership pricing
The new pricing ranges from $49 to
private individuals to $198 for larger
businesses.

Members of the Alberta Fire Commis-
sioners offce met with Wheatland Coun-
cil and members of the Rural Firefght-
ers Association, to provide suggestions
that would list ways the County could
work with the areas Fire Associations to
provide the best service possible, pro-
tect the volunteers, retain training and
certifcation qualifcations and reduce
both parties liability.
The County currently has contracts
with the various Fire Associations in the
county, to provide citizens with legislat-
ed fre coverage. No other services in
Alberta utilize this type of arrangement.
Commissioner West said there are sev-
eral different kinds of arrangements the
fre departments could enter into with
the county, outlined in a report deliv-
ered to council, but if the Associations
wanted to retain the existing system,
they would need to upgrade their record
keeping.
Very good documentation is needed,
said Deputy Fire Commissioner Spence
Sample, a former lawyer. That is some-
thing that you dont have here now.
He explained the service involves
public safety issues for both the volun-
teers and the public. It falls under vari-
ous government acts with mandatory
parameters complied with by law. The
Associations could not legally provide
independent service to area residents.
The county is a family, said Council-
lor Alice Booth. If something happened,
even one lost life would be devastating
to everybody in the County.
Not just the county, the Country, said
Fire Commissioner West.
Revision of the documents needed
to clearly defne the contract of ser-
vice by both parties, delineate the level
of response and responsibility, and be
measurable. If both the county and the
associations didnt do upgrades, both
parties were opening themselves up to
liability. In the past, the Associations re-
lied on the Societies Act to protect them
if something should go wrong. Deputy
Commissioner Sample said that if the
Society was not renewed each year, for
whatever reason, it would not protect
them. The Good Samaritan Act does not
cover them either. The county, the as-
sociation and each members personal
property within the Association could
be held liable.
Whether you respond to the call or
not you are a part of that Association,
said Deputy Commissioner Sample.
He stated that in this type of arrange-
ment, the county was responsible un-
der various acts to account for money
passed to the various departments. It
was the reason Associations needed to
comply with their requests for support-
ive documentation concerning these
funds, as well. Council had previously
asked all the Associations to provide
paperwork supporting the dispersal of
funds given to them by council.
West encouraged both the County and
the Associations to work with commit-
ment and mutual desire to overcome
the gaps that needed attention. He
promised that the Commissioners offce
would consult and assist in the process
if asked by council.
This is not a fast process, said Com-
missioner West, who anticipated it
would take several years to complete
the entire process.
The Associations also learned that if
they wanted WCB coverage by the Coun-
ty, a yearly audit of each fre department
needed to be done. Gerald Skibinsky,
the County Fire Coordinator, said the
departments could make improvements
over a two-year process to pass the fnal
independent audit that occurred in the
third year. The frst audit was due for
submission June 30, 2012. Members felt
they would not be able to comply with
the audit guidelines in time.
Council will forward the report to the
various associations after they have re-
viewed it. Further meetings with all the
Associations will take place to formulate
parameters for contracts and other nec-
essary record keeping upgrades until
both parties reach an agreed format.
Fighting fre with paperwork
Strathmores second annual
Pet expo was held on April
21. Comments from last years
expo were taken into consid-
eration to help enhance the

was $225 raised for Beagle
Paws, and three large bags of
non-perishable food items for
the Wheatland Food Bank.

Mothers and fathers lead a busy life
and one flled with constant changes.
Sometimes, they feel like they are run-
ning too fast, juggling too many balls,
dealing with too many demands, getting
no time for what they want or need in
life.
Think now what it would be to throw
a chronic illness of a child into the mix.
Not just one illness that you can identify,
learn about, adapt to its effect on your
life, but a constant changing morpholo-
gy of body dysfunction. Add extra doc-
tors appointments, extra fnancial costs,
more time spent at therapy sessions and
struggles to help your child; not to excel
or experience new things, but just at-
tempt to do some of the ordinary things
children do every day. Walk, eat, and go
to school.
This is what the Leys family of Carse-
land are going through. Their daughter
Danielle is dealing with Kleefstra Syn-
drome. Danielle was born in 2003 and
at the time she seemed normal, but at
six months the family started to notice
developmental delays and she couldnt
sit or crawl. They were referred to their
pediatrician for testing.
The initial genetic testing came back
fne. They didnt even say that she had
Down Syndrome or anything and noth-
ing about her facial features. There was
testing for all the different kinds of syn-
dromes. It was hard to get a diagnosis,
said her mother Jasmine Leys.
Things never changed, even at the age
of two she was not walking.
We always knew that she was behind
and delayed and that was all that they
could tell us at the time. Her muscle
tone was hypotonia (foppy). Her core
strength was weak and she just wasnt
able to do it. For years, we worked on
being able to walk up and down the
stairs and a lot of therapy really helped
her. It just went on, Leys said.
More testing, nothing was determined
until she was four years old, when they
got a phone call one day that let them
know new technology might help with
the diagnosis.
All the kids are unique with all their
chromosome arrangements. It was nice
to know there was a name for what was
going on, but there wasnt much infor-
mation they could give us at that time.
That left us in the same boat, but at least
we knew there was a reason for why
these things were happening to her. I
had to do a lot of research to work with
the doctors, said Ley.
Danielle started school and kept up
through modifed programs and special
needs help. She also had to deal with
pneumonia three times in one year. She
developed drop seizures that medicine
has not controlled. Now she has trouble
swallowing and is moving toward a feed-
ing tube. She also has some suspected
bowel problems. She cannot communi-
cate well, so it is diffcult to know what
Danielle feels or needs.
Thats just thrown our world upside
down. It all seems so crazy and up in
the air. It just adds more and more on
with what we are dealing with. Despite
all that has happened, she is the happi-
est little girl with a beautiful smile. She
deals with a lot, but she takes it all really
well, said Leys.
The disease is unique and there arent
many resources for families. Ley had to
search the Internet for families experi-
encing the same thing. There are only
about 120 cases worldwide. Although
Carseland School attempts to meet
the unique needs of Danielle and an-
other special-needs student, there are
not enough teachers or funds to pro-
vide adequate support for them. All the
programs that would beneft her are
in Strathmore. She also said there is a
discrepancy in special needs funding. If
Danielle were diagnosed with Autism,
she would qualify for extra funding and
services. Like the commercial where one
child gets a toy and they take it away
from the other child, it leaves the family
feeling frustrated and angry.
Sometimes it is diffcult for family and
community members to know what they
can do to help. Leys said she would like
to see money raised and contributed to
the school for better programming. She
also is trying to save for travel to the U.S.
or Europe and meet other Kleefstra Syn-
drome families and the geneticist who
discovered the syndrome, Dr. Tjitske. She
appreciates all the community support
she has received, as it has been hard on
her husband and Danielles older sister
Kailey too. Sometimes it is diffcult for
families to accept a helping hand, but
websites encourage friends to keep of-
fering to help with ordinary daily tasks
that let families get a breather and deal
with important challenges.
I want to raise awareness of Kleefs-
tra. A lot is going on with Danielle and
people need to know about the syn-
drome, said Leys.
The community can do that by en-

With only a month to go until grad,
parents and students are busy fguring
out how to celebrate the momentous
occasion. One option for Strathmore
High School (SHS) families is to attend
the grad banquet.
Its a parent organized event, aside
from the celebrations at the high school.
This is just another choice for the par-
ents, and for the kids, said Deb Bet-
terton, head of the banquet committee.
The banquet will see graduates, and
their families, gather to enjoy dinner
before heading back to the high school
to participate in the grand march, fol-
lowed by the dance.
Theres always hope that youll have
most of the grads attend. I think were
probably going to hit about 500 people,
and probably Im going to say maybe
80 grads. Thats not that many, especial-
ly when there is 214 grads, said Bet-
terton.
We are asking parents too to send in
pictures, a couple pictures of their kids
from when they were small to know
because we are trying to put together
a picture presentation to run through
the evening.
Betterton said the parent committee
relies on the monetary donations from
the community in order to keep the
prices as low as possible.
Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. on May
26, and dinner will be served from 6
p.m. to 8 p.m. said Betterton.
Tickets are on sale until May 6, and
are $35 each. For more information or
to purchase tickets either email strath-
moregrad2012@hotmail.com or call
403-934-0984.
Grads almost here
joying a burger or baked goods at the

Annual food drive hopes
to once again be a success
Britney DaviDson
Times Jr Reporter
Youth from The Church of Je-
sus Christ of Latter Day Saints
are busy organizing the annual
Wheatland County Food drive,
which will be held on Saturday,
April 28.
Brenda Flowers, President
of the Wheatland County Food
Bank, said that this is a great
time of year for a food drive.
We were hit hard in February
for orders and our supplies are
always low in the spring.
A week before the event, fy-
ers will be hung on doorknobs
all around Strathmore. People
willing to donate are asked to
have their food and or hygiene
items out where the volunteers
can see them from the road, and
are easily accessible. Also, please
attach the fyer to the items. All
of this should be done before
10 a.m. on the 28th. Volunteers
will come and pick up the food
directly from your doorstep. If
you would like to donate money
instead, you can make a cheque
out to Wheatland County Food
Bank. The money is used to buy
meat, milk, and fresh produce.
Any donation of any kind
would be greatly appreciated,
Brenda Flowers said.
Members from Student Lead-
ership and the Leo Club at
Strathmore High School will
be helping out with this event
as well. We appreciate all the
items donated in previous years,
and hope to have even more
success this year.

Town signs memorandum for new recycle yard operator
shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
Marilyn Galenski made a brief presentation to
council about concerns she and other residents
have with the Take it or Leave it at the recycle
yard. Some of the concerns involve a couple of
individuals whom she said are telling people
what they may or may not take.
We want to see something done over there,
said Galenski.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed
between the Town and H&H Huxted Enterprises
on April 19. Huxted will take over the operations
of the recycle park. The 10-year arrangement
has Huxteds taking care of the recycling yard
services at least at its current level of quality, if
not better. For the frst fve years there is no cost
to the Town, and in the fnal fve years the maxi-
mum charge to the Town will be $100,000. Cur-
rently the recycle yard is operated at a $160,000
per year defcit. The worst-case scenario will see
the Town paying a total of $500,000 over the
next 10 years versus the minimum $1.6 million
if they stuck with the current operators.
Mill Rate Bylaw
The Mill Rate Bylaw is made up of two com-
ponents, the frst of which is the current 2012-
year, and the second being the assessed value of
the properties within the town. The 2012 budget
called for a three per cent increase in municipal
tax revenue. The total residential assessment in-
creased by approximately $7 million. The com-
bined requisitions for education and Wheatland
Housing increased by $265,000, an increase of
5.8 per cent for the 2012 year over the 2011 year.
The requisitions for the two form 34.3 per cent
of the total property taxes within the Town. The
Town is also obligated to add this form of taxa-
tion on the tax billing. The increase, along with
the municipal increase combined will result in
the average residential owner see taxes increase
by approximately four per cent if the appraised
value was to remain constant with last year. A
sampling of homes in Strathmore saw the ap-
praised value decrease by two per cent, which
will have the effect of negating a portion of the
increase for approximately 90 per cent of the
dwelling units in Strathmore.

Tenders are in for the construction of the Wild-
fower Reservoir. An estimate of $8 million was
projected for the construction. Of the 10 tenders
submitted, the prices ranged from $6,440,443 up
to $9.335,200. Upon reviewing the tenders and
following up with the specifcations administra-
tion felt the two lowest tenders were compliant.
The price difference between two bidders was
approximately .5 per cent.
The cost is coming in lower than originally
projected, and council awarded the tender to
Graham Infrastructure.
Construction is scheduled to be complete by
the end of the year, December 31.

Pesto
Chicken Pasta
1 lb linguine pasta
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups fresh mushrooms, halved
cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
bag fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup prepared basil pesto, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese, (optional)
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the
water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered,
stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still frm to the bite,
about 10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
While the pasta is boiling, sprinkle the chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat the
olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken pieces until lightly
browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic, mushrooms and
roasted red peppers; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the mushrooms begin to
give off their juices, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the spinach, and simmer just until
the leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Transfer the cooked linguine into a
bowl, and toss with the basil pesto. Divide the pasta and serve topped with
the chicken mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese
over each plate and serve.

Strathmore High School band
It was an early morning for the members of the
Strathmore High School band class that ventured
to the Calgary Airport for a band trip to sunny
California on March 23. We spent fve days touring
around California visiting Santa Monica beach, Dis-
neyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Medieval Times.
On Saturday, March 24 we were able to attend
an exciting Soundtrack Workshop at Disneys Per-
forming Arts Studios. On Monday, March 26, we
were given a tour of Sony Studios where movies
such as Spiderman and Men in Black are created.
After the tour, we performed our pieces in the
lobby of the studio. That afternoon we travelled to
the Los Angeles Farmers Market and performed
outdoors for shoppers passing by. The audiences
were very enthusiastic to hear a band class all the
way from Canada, and enjoyed our performances
of songs from Pirates of the Caribbean, the In-
credibles, and classic pieces such as March of the
Trolls. The trip was very educational for us; we
were able to experience playing in different ven-
ues, as well as learn about music and a musicians
role in entertainment. This adventure was a great
reward for our hard work preparing and practicing
for the trip.
Though the trip was very educational, we had
a ton of fun at the Disneyland theme park and
Knotts Berry Farm. One of the highlights of the
trip was the Disneyland Soundtrack Workshop we
attended on March 24. We sight read music from
Disney movies such as The Emperors New Groove
and Lion King, as well as the Disney castle logo.
Our playing was recorded and placed into the
specifc scenes as the soundtrack. We were taught
about the recording process for movies and were
able to have a taste of what it is like.
The recording process at Disney was really
cool, said Avery Johnson, a trombone player in
the class. We were excited after the workshop to
receive exclusive t-shirts and pins to remember the
experience. We were able to spend the rest of the
day riding roller coasters and visiting movie char-
acters in the happiest place on earth! On March 25
we walked a couple blocks to Knotts Berry Farm
where we spent hours going on ride after ride until
the day was cut short when it started to rain. Luck-
ily, some members of the band had been inventive
and were prepared for the water with garbage bag
rain jackets, so the fun wasnt cut short!
At Sony Studios on March 26 we were given the
opportunity to walk through a set of gates that
would change [our] lives, or so our tour guide
told us. We visited the sets of Jeopardy! and The
Smurfs, as well as locations where Spiderman, and
other movies had been flmed. These were def-
nitely some of the more memorable times of the
trip, but the entire experience was one to be re-
membered.
The trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all members
of the band. We learned a lot about the recording
process for movie soundtracks and the importance
of playing music with passion.
It was a good experience and we learned a lot,
Cassandra Fisk, a fute player in the band, said.
More importantly than the music education we
received was what we learned about each other.
We were able to come together as a group and
bond over the experiences we shared. Spending
fve days with our classmates was a great way to
get to know them.
These shared memories and new friendships re-
ally improved the way we played. We started to
listen more to each member of the band. This was
probably the most important beneft of the trip,
other than having a blast, of course. Though the
trip was over a week ago, it is still the topic of
many conversations among the members of the
band. The trip was a great experience for all; when
asked what she thought about the trip, Avery John-
son summed up the feelings of the band saying It
was the funnest trip of [her] life!

Though World War I has never been forgotten,
more often people speak of World War II. Students
at Strathmore High School (SHS) have been practic-
ing since January for their upcoming performance
White Blank Page which begins on April 30.
There are a lot of veterans in this area and I
think its kind of unique for other kids our age and
the whole community to kind of come and actually
have an emotional connection to what happened.
A lot of people think of World War II and this is
World War I oriented, said Julie Sorensen, who
plays main character Amy.
It was inspired by the music (Mumford and
Sons). Originally we had a lady from Rosebud write
a general script and then we kind of changed it
with student ideas. We kept the same characters
but changed it so it focuses more around Amy and
David and the mess of humanity, and the mess of
their relationship and what happens due to war.
Sorensen said she thinks it will end up being a
tearjerker for many in attendance, and she feels its
important for someone to be emotionally moved by
a performance such as this.
There will be a live band playing all of the songs
and Rosebud actor Aaron Krogman is primarily the
lead vocal singer. Krogman is also lending a help-
ing hand where needed.
Ive done a few shows here at Strathmore High
School now, but in different capacities. Sometimes I
do sounds, lots of it is coaching the kids in whatev-
er theyre doing, just giving them feedback in what
I see, said Krogman.
Krogman has been helping with the video, and
with writing the letters. Between some of the songs
there are letters read that have been written by
different characters. Important information is re-
vealed through the letters and then shown through
the dance.
The production has been almost completely
put together by the students, something Krogman
thinks adds to it.
Theres lots of value in picking a piece thats
been written and work shopped and just working it
up, I think thats really cool, said Krogman.
Beauty and the Beast for example, its well
knownand the students get to attempt some-
thing thats established. With something like this,
you get to build it from the ground up and they get
to speak into it in a different kind of way.
The production runs twice nightly with shows
at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. on April 30, May 1 and May
2. Tickets are $10 at the door, and half price for
seniors.

Fule for Thought
Awhile back, I told you all some of the lighter
things Ive experienced as a PE/English teacher.
You might think there wouldnt be too many weird
and wacky moments, but oh yeah, there are more.
Sometimes, when I least expected it, high school
students would shock and surprise me. You really
do have to be prepared (if thats possible) for any-
thing.
My frst such experience was on a basketball trip
to Rimbey. Samuel Crowther High School had rent-
ed a 15 passenger van for the trip. The weather
was clear and visibility was great. That excellent
visibility was to become a huge part of this event.
As we rolled up what is now the Queen Elizabeth
highway, a strange thing kept happening.
Every time a vehicle pulled alongside, it would
stay even with us, then slowly pass. As each vehicle
accelerated, it would again pause along me, and the
occupants would be laughing and smiling at me.
This happened a few times before I realized
something was going on in MY van! I felt like Co-
lumbo I had to fnd out the mystery. The guys
behind me were hard to see and obviously no one
was volunteering any information. I tilted my inside
mirror and leaned right to see just what was hap-
pening. To my horror, I saw that one of my players
had been holding up a certain Mens magazine to
the side windows so that any vehicle passing could
see the centerfold in all her glory!
Oh, but that was just part of the problem the
centerfold lady just happened to weigh about 500
pounds!! That was what had been so entertaining
to the people passing! I quickly yelled to put the
magazine away, or I would show these players
mothers and grandmothers what they had been do-
ing. I think the mention of grandmothers was what
REALLY got their entertainment to instantly end.
I pulled over, confscated the magazine, and had
the culprits throw it in a highway garbage can.
I think that was where I frst realized high school
guys were not to be trusted!
Many years later, we moved to a new school and
became Strathmore High. On one morning in a PE
10 class, another strange event happened. When my
students subbed out of a game, they would go up to
the gallery area, to wait until it was their turn to play
again. Youd think that would be a safe place, but
oh no, one girl decided to experiment. Her experi-
ment was to see if she could push her head through
the bars of the gallery railing! From the foor below,
as I refereed the game, everything looked normal,
that is until a student ran down laughing, to get me!
I ran up and was horrifed to see that the students
head had perfectly ft between the bars! Pulling it
back OUT was the problem. Many of us pitched in,
while I kept asking her WHY?
We pulled sideways on the bars as hard as pos-
sible, while some students wet her hair and ears.
We even had to push on her ears so theyd be as
snug to her head as possible. It probably took only
seconds, but to the victim and me, it must have felt
like hours. Finally, we were able to get her head
back through. I run into her now and then shes
an adult now, and when we meet, we still have a
little chuckle!
Again, many years later another incident hap-
pened with one of my male students. I was coach-
ing the track events for the school and it was a very
wet, rainy day. I had purchased small parachutes
with straps, so the runners could run, the para-
chutes would billow out, and theyd be sprinting
against a strong resistance. We had move into the
gym, and the sprinters had specifc instructions on
using the chutes.
One of the other students happened to be weight
training in the gyms weight room. He asked if he
could try out a chute. I foolishly agreed and we
strapped him in. I told him, be sure you only sprint
on the LENGTH of the gym and slow down on the
corners.
He agreed, and off he sprinted. Oh sure, he
obeyed on the frst corner, but he was having too
much fun!
He sprinted around the corners, and I began to
worry. Sure enough on his third corner, the billow-
ing chute caught the bottom of a basketball back-
board. Instantly, he was snapped horizontally and
slammed to the foor!! We ran across the gym to
fnd him winded, and trying to laugh! He was okay,
maybe a bit sheepish, and we were able to laugh
again. I learned that parachuting indoors could be
dangerous!
I obviously discovered that high school students
can always be counted on to surprise me. Just when
you might think everything is safe, they can fnd a
way to shake up things. I usually tell my students
that theyre the reason my hair has gone so gray!
Sadly, they seem to be proud that they may have
had a hand in this!

It may seem a little early to begin think-
ing about Relay for Life, but the annual event
is already less than two months away. A few
changes have been made over the years, and
this year one of those changes is a new com-
mittee, with a few returning members.
Our committee is dedicated to bringing
back the ceremonies to honour our survivors,
caregivers, luminaries and the fght back cer-
emony, said Kristel Lang
Our goal for this year is $100,000. Last year
we raised just under $80,000 so I think that
this years goal is attainable.
Other goals for the committee include bring-
ing the number up to 200 participants from the
167 involved last year. They would also like to
see the number of survivors go from 75 to 100,
and would like them to join in a sit-down din-
ner served by Simple Elegance catering.
After fnding Relay for Life last year, Lang
knew she had to do what she could to see the
event grow. In 2004 Lang lost her grandfather
to cancer, and was never able to deal with his
loss until fnding Relay.
Participating in Relay for Life last year pro-
vided me an outlet for my anger, frustration
and sadness towards losing him. Whenever
the work becomes tough I think of how proud
he would be that I was doing something for
future friends and family as well as perfect
strangers so they may hopefully not have to
deal with the loss of a relative to such a hor-
rible disease, said Lang.
Last month, I lost my Uncle Phil to cancer
and now have an even stronger drive to give
cancer a run for its money so to speak. I look
forward to walking the track all night and
showing cancer that we wont give in but we
will fght.
Entertainment for this years event is still be-
ing worked on, but the committee is looking
for bands, singers, poets and any other acts
who may be interested.
We are gong to be hosting Relays Got Tal-
ent so stay tuned to fnd out how you can sign
up, said Lang.
There will even be prizes handed out for
various categories. We have various games, ac-
tivities, and relays planned to happen through-
out the night to keep people moving the whole
12 hours.
On April 28 Lang is inviting people to be a
part of a Gold Canyon, Epicure, and It works
for a Relay for Life fundraiser. It will be held
from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. at 349 Strathford Blvd.
Anyone interested in attending can call Kristel
Lang at 403-901-8450.
Relay for Life takes place June 15, and runs
from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. The committee is still
looking for survivors, volunteers, and teams to
participate. Survivors and participants are able
to register online at www.cancer.ca/relay or
through Kristel Lang at 403-901-8450.

When undertaking the
most expensive military pro-
curement ever, respect for
hard-earned taxpayer dollars
should be priority number
one. But when it comes to the
costs of the F-35 stealth fght-
er jets, Kevin Sorenson and
the Conservative Party failed
to be up front with Canadians.
But the recent Auditor Gen-
erals report has shredded
the Conservatives deception
about the project: Stephen
Harper low-balled Canadians
on the projects total cost.
The report confrms the
government knew the F-35
would cost $25 billion, but
told Canadians $15 billion
$10 billion less. Thats a $10
billion mismanagement of
your money.
Nearly two years ago, the
Liberals frst raised a red fag
about these concerns only
to meet with Conservative de-
nials and deception.
Mr. Sorenson and the Con-
servative Party must stop be-
ing reckless with your tax dol-
lars. Canada should hold an
open competition to secure
the planes our troops need at
the right price
Yours sincerely,
John McKay

[WOW!]
See for yourself.
To the Editor
My hope is this article will be cut out
and pasted on every fridge for future ref-
erence of why a consolidated school is
required. We have forgotten the most im-
portant thing the students.
I feel the need to complete information
missed by the April 12 article fghting to
keep CBV open in a local newspaper.
I am confdent in reading that article,
people know that anyone can conduct
an independent survey and collect data
that is almost unanimously on one side
of an issue. Last months independent
survey does not nearly completely repre-
sent all community members and parents
of CBVs borders and enrolment. Only a
portion of the Hamlet of Gleichen was
represented.
Golden Hills School Division gave ev-
eryone wanting to be a part of any and
all surveys time to register and complete
their opinions and concerns. The infor-
mation was compiled by an unbiased sur-
vey company Zoomerang a company
with 10 years experience. Names were
required in a mandatory box before sur-
veys could be submitted minimizing the
possibility of double voting or fraudulent
activity. I applaud GHSDs patience with
this process and allowing members of
East Wheatland an opportunity to be a
part of the future of our youth.
The independent survey confrms that
nine students currently attend CVB but
that eight attend elsewhere. Of the 69
people polled 37 per cent admitted that
they would choose to send their children
to the consolidated school.
The survey states that it reached 69 peo-
ple, which he estimated covered about 40
per cent of the towns population, and the
numbers were unanimously opposed to
closing the Central Bow Valley school in
favour of a consolidated school. Statistics
Canadas 2011 census confrms 336 peo-
ple live in Gleichen; therefore 20 per cent
would be a more accurate assessment if
you factor the hamlets population.
I have been contacted by four people
that were approached to participate in the
independent survey and they declined to
participate, as they support the consoli-
dated school. As well I have been con-
tacted by a Hamlet member who was not
approached to be in the survey, who also
is in favour of the consolidated school. All
of these people have school age children.
How we got here is history. How we
proceed is crucial for the future of our
community. Correct information is man-
datory in making an informed decision.
I cant applaud the teachers and staff of
Central Bow Valley School enough. With
staff cut backs due to declining enrol-
ment they should all be commended for
what they do and goals they encourage
students to reach. The following does not
in any way refect the amazing job they
have done.
Central Bow Valley School is currently
a kindergarten to Grade 8. It teaches less
than 100 students. Currently fve teachers
are employed in the school. One teach-
er is retiring at the end of 2012. Due to
cut backs teachers are teaching two and
three grade splits. This year the Grade 8
class consists of seven students. All these
students will also leave at the end of the
year. Very few kindergarten students will
be flling the space to have enrolment
stay at a constant level.
Information needs to be forthcoming
to the community members and parents
within CBVs borders and student base.
Information shows a dire need to con-
solidate CBV with Hussar, Rockyford and
Standard schools. Keeping CBV open is
not a viable working solution.
Students should have the ability to
enjoy the school experience, not just
be taught the bare minimum. By school
experience I mean things such as intra-
mural activities and extra curricular team
sports to name a few.
Options give kids a jump on their fu-
ture. Options create a likes and dislikes
for what could be future employment.
Options like wood working shop,
Hunters Ed training and camp, music and
drama clubs.
Kids should have the opportunity to
participate in extra curricular team sports
- junior and senior volleyball, curling,
track and feld and basketball, both at
a regional and a provincial level. To im-
prove skills and talents to open the future
for scholarships.
Students should have a peer base in
which to pick friends from a large diver-
sifed pool.
The chance to be part of a students
union. Where every holiday something
new created, elevates school spirit and
enhances leadership qualities. Haunted
houses, Easter egg hunts, and western
days.
The chance to be part of a peer support
group to learn and to help lend sympathy
for other students in need.
To learn to create a yearbook by gather-
ing pictures and stories of the past years
experiences and print them for history
and fond memories.
Student Conference day where students
come together for an enjoying and educa-
tional day of speakers and presenters to
enhance the student and staff family.
Central Bow Valley had all of these
things and in the past 10 years have all
disappeared. How much more can be tak-
en from our students before we choose
something better, like past parents have
chosen. The students of CBV are not able
to take out a library book as our staff is
so limited due to cut backs a direct re-
sult of declining enrolment.
Closing a school in any community is
devastating to all. If there is not enough
students to create an enhanced educa-
tion the devastation is to the students. My
confdence the community now informed
with these facts will not fght to keep
CBV open, but will support the students
of CBV and their future instead of inhibit-
ing their growth.
Isnt the issue about what is best for the
future of our community? THE KIDS.
For further information on the process

school please contact ghsd at 403-934-
5121 or www.ghsd75.ca (East Wheatland

Yours sincerely,

Snowmobiling, skiing, hiking and hockey; Austra-
lian teacher Ali Collins has done these things and
more since she arrived in Strathmore last Decem-
ber.
She is teaching Grade 5 students as part of a
teacher exchange at Westmount School.
These kids are good kids. They have fantastic
staff here, she said.
Collins said she hopes to sample everything Can-
ada has to offer before she has to return to Aus-
tralia next January. She is a huge sports fan, and
has already been to a Flames game and is looking
forward to attending a Canucks game in the future.
As a teacher who has specialized in teaching Jap-
anese to public school students, Collins said there
are differences between Canada and Australia in
terms of how students are taught. Previously, she
taught Kindergarten to Grade 2 students Japanese.
Its common for schools to teach young children a
second language, she said.
The younger the better.
This is her tenth year as a teacher, but her frst
instructing one class of older students on multiple
subjects, which has been exciting, she said.
Australian teacher enjoying everything Canada has to offer
da, shell also be careful to stick to the right side of the road,
something she still has to focus on, she joked.
Collins is almost halfway through her teacher exchange pro-
gram and already making plans to come back as soon as pos-
sible, she said. Under the program, shell have to wait two
years before applying to come back to Canada and she will be
counting the days.
She experienced her frst winter here and laughs about the
assurances that it was a mild winter, she said.
The cold weather doesnt scare me.
Though the day that it was -39 C here and 39 C at home was
interesting, she laughed.
In Australia, the school year runs from January
to December and Collins is excited to enjoy a Ca-
nadian summer after school is out, she said. She is
also excited to get to work with the students this
year and the new crop of Grade 5 students after
summer.
The instructional structure is somewhat more
rigid in Alberta, versus an outcome-based system in
Australia, she said. However, there is a movement
toward more outcome-based learning in Alberta
and Collins said she is enjoying the curriculum.
Its quite different. Its great though.
Her favourite subjects to instruct are math (shes
a self-professed math nerd) and social studies be-
cause she is learning Canadian history along with
the students.
A Smartboard is used in her classroom, along
with computers, and the use of technology here is
similar to Australia, she said.
Strathmore and Westmount School are reminis-
cent of the frst school she taught at in a commu-
nity north of the city of Adelaide in southern Aus-
tralia, she said.
The hospitality of folks in Strathmore has been
awesome and helped make her feel at home, she
added.
Collins said she is also impressed with the Alber-
ta Teachers Association (ATA), which has organized
some of the exciting excursions she has taken part
in.
Teachers with the ATA that have taken part in
exchange programs with other countries help or-
ganize exciting trips for visiting teachers, according
to Collins.
Despite her parents being nervous about the
prospect, Collins said she is keen to see a bear and
also as much wildlife as possible while in Canada.
While trying to spot the diverse wildlife in Cana-
Australian teacher Ali Collins has been at Westmount School
as part of an exchange program since December. She poses
with the fag of her homeland and some stuffed animals of
creatures native to Australia, such as the platypus. Collins
said she is especially excited to check out NHL games while
she is here.

Times Reporter
Its that time of year again: No Frills
has kicked off its 2012 Extra Helping
Spring National Food Drive. The food
drive runs in-store from April 20 to May
5, and residents are encouraged to help
re-stock the shelves of the Wheatland
Food Bank.
While most people think about the
joys of spring, its a diffcult time for us.
Our food supplies are getting danger-
ously low but the need is still incredibly
high, says Kathleen Mooney-Stuhec, ex-
ecutive director, Alberta Food Bank Net-
work Association, in a press release.
More and more people rely on food
banks as they struggle to feed their fami-
lies but with the help of programs like
the Loblaw 2012 Extra Helping Spring
National Food Drive, we will be able to
stock our shelves year-round, and con-
tinue to serve families across Alberta
that otherwise would go hungry.
It kind of gets everybody involved,
the staff gets engaged with it and it goes
to show there are a lot of caring people
in the community, said Tina Shipley,
owner of Tinas No Frills in Strathmore.
Non-perishable items such as peanut
butter, rice, pasta, pasta sauce, canned
fruits and vegetables are just some of the
everyday staples the food bank looks for.
Formula and baby foods are also items
that are needed and appreciated.
There is a bin set up in-store to col-
lect the food items, and anyone wishing
to make a cash donation may do so with
one of the cashiers.
The cash donations itself go a long
way because then they can come back
and pick up exactly what they need,
healthy alternatives, kind of the same
type of items that we would buy for our
own selves, said Shipley.
I like it because everything that we
raise at the store, 85 per cent stays right
here and we only send 15 per cent and
it stays in the province, so I think thats
fantastic.
Even just a $2 donation may not seem
like a lot to the person donating, but it
can add up quickly. Shipley said she sees
approximately 7,000 to 8,000 people
through her store weekly and knows the
potential is there to do something big for
the food bank and the community.

Weeds?
We have just the person for the job!
We know spring is a busy time for many landowners
who are seeding and spraying. Its also a busy time for our
Vegetation Advisor, Garry Sell, who manages Encanas
vegetation management plan.
Our vegetation management plan is used to effectively
integrate the use of chemical, mechanical and biological
methods to control undesirable vegetation, including
weeds, on lands where we operate. We tailor our
approach to the specific weed species present,
the adjacent farming practice being used and other
site-specific conditions. This ensures we are seeding,
mowing and spraying in an efficient and timely manner.
Benefits of a clearly defined vegetation management
program include:
sustainable weed management
responsible chemical use
better and more efficient management of wet areas
improved erosion control and topsoil conservation
We also prevent the introduction of weed seeds and
soil borne pests by cleaning topsoil off equipment and
vehicles before moving between agricultural fields.
Direct any questions or concerns you have regarding
weed or pest management on lands where Encana has
operations to:

Help still needed
in Rwanda almost
two decades later
Shannon LeCLair
Times Reporter
It has been 18 years since
the 100 days of genocide
raged through the small Cen-
tral African nation of Rwan-
da. Approximately 70 per
cent of the population was
female, many of which were
orphaned after the genocide.
Carrie Sproule, from
Strathmore, left for Rwanda
February 10 and returned
on March 10. Sproule went
with an International Non-
Government Organization
(INGO). One of the param-
eters the Rwandan govern-
ment set for this INGO to
work in Rwanda was that
they must work with existing
NGOs within the country.
We went to work specif-
cally with 10 women we had
contact with through a cou-
ple of pastors, said Sproule.
During the genocide many
women were raped and ter-
rorized, and now have little
or no education, no extend-
ed families and are daily
struggling trying to feed
their children.
This is the present dif-
fcult situation for so many
Rwandese women. There
were 200,000 orphans and
60,000 widows left after the
genocide, said Sproule.
These 10 women have
come in their lives to a new
place of faith and they no
longer want to live and work
the way they have been to
feed their children. Our pur-
pose was to minister to the
10 women, showing them
that they are loved and cared
for.
A group of eight women
traveled to Rwanda from Cal-
gary and area.
One of the things we
did before we left was raise
sponsorship money for these
On April 16 Carrie Sproule was at Crowfoot
School to speak about her recent trip to Rwanda
with a team of women to help the widows and
orphans of genocide.

ten women, most of it coming from
Strathmore, Crowfoot, Dalmead, Rose-
bud and Rockyford. The majority of
the money came from this area, said
Sproule.
$12,000 was raised, $100 a month
per woman for one year to provide
rent, food, and schooling for their
children, setting the women free from
worry so they can then concentrate on
some training for themselves.
A training centre has been set up that
will eventually become a co-op. When
the women have a trade they will then
have some way to support themselves,
which was another purpose of the jour-
ney to Rwanda.
Sproule said, It will be an ongoing
project. A teacher has been hired to
help train and teach the women. Learn-
ing to sew will be one of the things the
women are taught.
Were hoping to give them some
English lessons and upgrading in
school, how to work with budgets and
just a few things that will help them to
be able to one day have their own little
business. When we get these 10 women
through there are more waiting.
The women of Rwanda also received
another treat, one that many of us
women here may take for granted.
When we asked what we could bring
with us they replied, bras, bring bras,
said Sproule.
So we put the word out and Im
sure we had between 500 and 800 bras
that we took into the country, it was so
fun to watch the delight of the women.
Sproule would like to return to
Rwanda again in February when an-
other womans group will be making
the trek.
I have worked in many countries,
and have learned that if you can return
a second time to a country it means so
much to the people. If you come just
once its nice but if you come again its
wonderful, said Sproule.
In the meantime Sproule is working
on raising the wage for the teacher,
which is $300 per month, as well as
many other ongoing projects she will
be seeking to raise sponsorships for.
If you are interested in helping in any
of these she can be contacted at (403)

The Strathmore 8 Ball pool league held its annual banquet at the Strathmore golf course on April 21. The main highlights of
the awards section were the presentations to the food bank, and the presentation of the Allan Bishop Memorial Award for the
player who has shown the most sportsmanlike conduct throughout the season. Left: Ed Zahariuk with the Wheatland Food
Bank accepted a cheque for $1,250 from Jennifer Jordan with the Strathmore 8 Ball pool league. Half of the 50/50 sales also
were donated to the food bank, which equaled another $359. Right: The frst vote for recipient of the Allan Bishop Memorial
Award resulted in a tie and the tiebreaker vote saw John Koper as the winning nominee.

Running has become a passion of Jaime Fair-
bairns ever since she frst began to run in 2006.
At the time Fairbairn had heard someone talking
about how they were going to run a half-mara-
thon, and all she could think was well I can do it.
Once she got it into her head, she started run-
ning by the boundary roads, she would run from
one light post to the next and then walk one and
so on. Eventually she got a watch that tracked
intervals and she would run for fve minutes and
walk for a minute. Now she usually runs 10 min-
utes and then walks a minute when in the big
races.
Rather than running a half-marathon for her
frst race, Fairbairn completed a full marathon,
26.2 miles, instead.
She has previously run with Team Diabetes,
raising funds for diabetes research, while getting
to participate in either half or full marathons of
her choice.
This year she is running to raise money for Leu-
kemia and blood cancers.
Its a little boy in kindergarten that was di-
agnosed recently with the lymphoma, so thats
when I decided I would do Team in Training,
said Fairbairn.
She chose to run a half marathon in San Di-
ego, which had a minimum fundraising goal of
$4,000 to participate. The Toy Swap held on April
14 helped Fairbairn break her minimum expec-
tations, and she is now contemplating raising
$7,000 and running in Montreal as well this year.

I just fnished my fundraising this week, Im at
about $4,500, but Im still fundraising because it
all goes for good, said Fairbairn.
She has completed four full marathons and this
will be her ffth half marathon. Most of her mara-
thons have been to raise money for charity.
Two of her bigger fundraising marathons with
Team Diabetes were going to run in Dublin, Ire-
land and Reykjavik, Iceland.
If Im going to run, Im going to run some-
where else, I can run in Calgary any day, said
Fairbairn.
My ultimate dream, and I am hoping it will
happen in 2014, is to run the Goofy challenge
with Team Diabetes. On Saturday you run a half
(marathon) and on Sunday you run the full. Thats
my running dream, to accomplish that.
I like putting on events, and I like to pick a
charity that means something. I dont have cancer
but this little boy Owen was in our kindergarten
class that I work in and when you get that kind
of news for a child, it makes me thankful that my
kids are healthy.
The 10 teams in the Strathmore Lacrosse Club begin their 2012 season
this coming weekend after they hit the court for practice April 21 at the
Strathmore Family Centre.

Typically, when the ice is out of the arena at the Strath-
more Family Centre, lacrosse begins its fast-paced, hard-
hitting season.
However, for the frst time, organizers of the sport chose
a non-traditional approach to prepare for the 2012 season.
Were having a very exciting pre-season, said Strath-
more Lacrosse Club President Todd Betterton. We were
able to get some foor time in a local gym to get the kids
ball-handling and running some drills about a month ear-
lier than we can traditionally get in, so thats great.
The other highlight, now that the ice is out of the are-
na last week, is that we are full-on practicing on the full
courts and the teams are essentially picked, so (its)
exciting.
According to Betterton, there are 10 teams in lacrosse,
ranging from mini-tyke all the way to junior, including
a couple of all-female teams in the bantam and midget
levels.
There are approximately 145 kids registered in lacrosse,
a handful more than last year. However, there is a nice
growth in the younger levels.
We just want lacrosse to last we think its the greatest
sport on two feet, said Betterton. We defnitely like to see
the young kids playing.
Although there are only fve or six kids in the mini-
tyke, its the frst time weve had enough kids to consider
a team (at that level). So that it a milestone for Strathmore
lacrosse.
So theyll play that program a lot like timbits hockey,
where they show them some skills and a little bit of scrim-
mage.
Another highlight for the club is the Tier 2 junior pro-
gram, which is going strong.
According to Betterton, the team has attracted a coach
with very high credentials to lead the squad.
There is a n outstanding young man who is going to
coach that team his name is Andrew Buchanan. Andrew
replied to an ad on our website (and he) grew up playing
lacrosse at a very high level on the west coast. Hes played
Junior-A ball and Senior-A ball, hes got some fantastic
coaching and leadership experience out of Edmonton and
Calgary. He is actually running that Junior Tier 2 program
from coaching perspective and a board perspective, we
are delighted to have his calibre of skill involved with
Strathmore Lacrosse.
For more information on lacrosse, or to see the upcom-
ing schedule for all the teams, visit the website (www.

The goal of 4-H Clubs in Alberta is
to help youth develop leadership, com-
munication, technical and life skills.
They offer various means to achieve
those goals. Part of their program is to
complete and get credit for their year
by taking part in a communications ac-
tivity.
Jillayne Swalwell, a 17-year-old
Strathmore 4-H Multi-Club member,
embraced the task and excelled by
placing frst in Provincial competitions
held at Northlands Coliseum in Edmon-
ton on April 14. This is the second year
Swalwell has competed in Edmonton.
Last year she won third place.
I really enjoy the speech writing, al-
though I always have too much mate-
rial. I really get into it, said Swalwell.
For the Edmonton competition, the
panel gave contestants their topic and
allowed 10 days for preparation before
delivery of the speech. They assigned
Swalwell the topic of My Alberta and
she chose to focus on Educational Di-
versity in the province. The speech was
4-6 minutes in length.
Swalwell has participated in public
speaking for six years. She said 4-H has
four levels of public speaking compe-
titions to work through. Participants
choose a topic and write one speech
for each level.
There are often prizes awarded for
winners. Swalwell has won about two
hundred dollars and received a spon-
sorship to the Young Speakers of Can-
Taking a shot in life
Jillayne Swalwell captured frst place with her
speech on the Diversity of educational Choices
here in Alberta. She will be travelling to The Royal
Winter Fair in Toronto in Nov 2012, to compete
in the Young Speakers of Canada Competition.

ThefT aT Pawn and ColleCTibles
On April 18th, at approximately 12
p.m., Strathmore RCMP responded to a
complaint of a theft at the Strathmore
Pawn and Collectibles. Two males en-
tered the store and stole a Robotoolz
Laser Level. One male is described as a
large man in a black puffy winter coat
with black slicked back hair in a pony
tail. The other male is described as being
a smaller man with blonde or light brown
hair with a goatee wearing a beige jacket
and baseball hat.
Attached are photos of the two males.
The Strathmore RCMP are seeking
the publics assistance in determining
the identity of these two males. If you
have any knowledge of this incident
or any other incidents please contact
the Strathmore RCMP at (403) 934-
3968 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-

faTal PedesTrian
Collision
On April 23, at ap-
proximately 2:11 a.m.,
the Strathmore RCMP
responded to a fatal
pedestrian collision on
Highway 1 west of High-
way 24. An unidentifed
male was struck by three
vehicles while walking on
Highway 1. One of the ve-
hicles, a semi truck, con-
tacted 911 immediately
and stayed on scene.
During this time the body
was struck by two other
vehicles before emergen-
cy services arrived. The
driver of a van pulled over
and waited for police,
while the driver of a pick
up truck left the scene.
The Strathmore RCMP
are asking the driver of
this truck to please con-
tact the RCMP.
A unoccupied vehicle
was located nearby. It is
unknown if the deceased
male and the vehicle are
related at this time. The
cause of the collision is
still under investigation.
The East bound traffc
lanes of Highway # 1, just
east of Secondary High-
way #24, were closed for
approximately fve hours,
with traffc diverted for
approximately 1/2 km.,
while the scene investi-
gation was completed.
If anyone has any in-
formation on this colli-
sion, or any other matter,
they are asked to contact
the Strathmore RCMP at
403-934-3968 or Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-

ada competition in Toronto, held in
November. She said being involved in
public speaking has given her personal
rewards as well.
It is a great asset. The public speak-
ing has boosted my confdence im-
mensely, said Swalwell.
She graduates soon and is planning
to go to SAIT to take photography.
For those youth who feel they have
nothing to do, they can check out the
4-H website at www.4h.ab.ca. It out-
lines all the interesting activities avail-
able for youth. For prospective speak-
ers just starting, Swalwell recommends
jumping right in.
Dont be scared. Go for it. Take a
shot, said Swalwell.
