Despite all the snow and chilly temperatures over the last few months, the Town of Strathmore is still warning people to stay off the ice at Kinsmen Park. Jesse Parker, director of operations and engineering, said the ice this year is odd in the sense that theres a thin layer of ice, a thin layer of water and then more ice underneath that. The way ice thickness is rated is if there is a layer of water on a layer of ice you dont count the ice thats underneath that water because you dont know how thick it is in its entirety, said Parker. Its recommended that the ice thickness be between 10 12 inches before allowing the public to skate on it, and some samples have been as low as eight inches. The town has had to err of the side of caution and has set signs up warning people to stay off the ice. With it being an active storm pond were just not condent we want to invite the public out there in light of the water layer weve seen and the measurements weve had of eight inches, said Parker. The ice at Grays Park is cleared off by Grays Limited. Parker said the town has not taken a sample of that pond, but said the depth is signicantly less than whats at Kinsmen Park. If you were to break through on the lake at Pond 1 worst case it would be up to your waist. In Kinsmen you could be up to nine feet, said Parker. The town will continue to monitor the ice thickness, and once they are condent it is safe they will clear the snow off of Kinsmen Lake.

World Drumming to their school Jan. 6 to 10. They had an instructor in the school all week teaching Grade 1-6 students all about African instruments and rhythms. Their students then showed off their djembe talents on Friday, Jan. 10 at the school wide assembly. Parents and grandparents lled the gym and were privileged to watch the kids come up in their particular grade congurations and see what they had been learning all week. The kids responded well to the instruction from their djembe leader David Kovatch. As a boy David dreamed that when he grew up he would be a music teacher. As life happens David never stopped playing music but he did not become a music teacher. Well, not till now, anyways. Now David is teaching drumming and living out his dream - to be a music teacher. It was evident in the nal assembly that Kovatch had the children captivated by the drumming as well as being in synch with one another and the audience together in their parts.

New Years resolutions are often based on helping ourselves. But one resolution you can make can help others. Volunteerism is just that way. Giving of your time to help others will make them and you feel good. Volunteeeism can take many forms from visiting a senior, helping out at the local food bank or assisting children and adults improve their reading skills. Make 2014 the year you volunteer. The idea of having a child share your bed is still fairly common among parents. In fact, over the past 20 years, the practice has increased 14%. Its not good for the child or the parents. For newborn babies, it is recommended that the child sleep in the same room as the parent but not the same bed. Back in 1975, mastectomy was the primary treatment for breast cancer and the 5-year survival rate was 75%. Today, there are better screening techniques and many new treatment options that have increased the 5-year survival rate to 90% and is steadily improving. The ideal length of time for a woman to carry a baby before to birth is 39 weeks. unless there is a definite medical reason to deliver the child early. This allows more time for the brain, lungs and liver to develop fully. We always think that a baby is in the womb for 9 months when its almost 10 months. Our staff would like to remind you that if you are going on a winter holiday, be sure to take enough medications to last the trip.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS YOU REMEMBER FROM 2013? The 2013 highlight for me was accepting the appointment by the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, to serve in our Conservative Governments Cabinet as Minister of State (Finance). I am pleased that in addition to continuing to work diligently as your Member of Parliament on behalf of all my constituents, I now also have the privilege of fullling my duties and responsibilities in service to our nation as a Cabinet Minister. It is a real honour to be working very closely with Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and our Prime Minister. Our Conservative governments highlight was the signing of an historic trade agreement in principle with the European Union in 2013. The Agreement will provide Canada with preferential market access to the EUs more than 500 million consumers. A joint study conducted with the European Union, concluded that an agreement could boost Canadas income to the equivalent of creating almost 80,000 new jobs or increasing the average Canadian familys annual income by $1,000. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORwARD TO IN THE UPCOMING YEAR? Our federal governments Budget 2014 will be dominant in the work that lies ahead for me this year. I have already spent many weeks in consultations with Canadians from all walks of life and sectors of Canadas economy in preparation for the budget this spring. We are working toward balancing the federal budget in 2015. As well, our Conservative government will continue to work on policies that support jobs, economic growth and Canadas long-term prosperity. My wife Darlene and I always enjoy attending local events and meeting constituents. For example, we always look forward to the Strathmore Heritage Days Parade; the July 1 Flag Raising, and the Strathmore Crisis Society Dinner. As in all of the towns and villages in our riding, I enjoy working on projects with my provincial and local colleagues in Strathmore. HOw DO YOU FEEL THINGS ARE GOING SINCE TAKING ON THE POSITION OF MINISTER OF STATE FOR FINANCE? Things are going very well in my new capacity. While I am very busy carrying out my new duties, I am managing to keep up with the pace. There has been a learning curve of course, as is the case with everyone who gets a new job or additional work. As Minister of State (Finance) there are many
events to attend nationally and representatives of many Canadians rms, associations and individuals to meet. I participated in the APEC conference in Indonesia, I have been responding to the Opposition Parties during Question Period and speaking on behalf of our government in the House of Commons providing updates on Canadas economic performance and bringing the facts and gures from the Department of Finance to debates. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES FACING YOU IN THIS COMING YEAR? Again, the unveiling of Budget 2014 and the work involved with helping deliver it in the House of Commons and around the nation. There are numerous other policy fronts that our Conservative government will be pursuing as we described in the recent Speech from the Throne (www.SFT. gc.ca). Families are the cornerstone of the Canadian society. Our Conservative government will continue to support and protect Canadian families by keeping taxes low, defending Canadian consumers, and supporting victims and punishing criminals. Of special note for the agricultural sector in our riding is Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Bill. It is good news for farmers - from plant protection and breeding to farm nances and feed. It will increase access to important programs for farmers and result in cost savings. Bill C-18 has already received wide support because the proposed changes respond to recommendations made by industry stakeholders. DO YOU FEEL PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IN THE CPP TALKS? Our government shares the position of employees, employers and many provinces that now is not the time to raise CPP costs for Canadians. During a fragile global recovery, Canadians simply cannot afford the reduced hours, wages and paycheques that a CPP expansion would trigger. Increased payroll taxes lead to less hiring and more layoffs which is especially concerning as it is very difcult to have a healthy retirement plan for tomorrow if there is no job today. Rather than raise CPP taxes on everybody, we must get the people who are not saving enough for retirement to start saving sufciently. Our government has provided massive incentives for Canadians to make the nancial decision to save. This includes the introduction of Pooled Registered Pension Plans and the Tax Free Savings Account. Our priority is to continue strengthening Canadas economy while keeping taxes low.

Sleepless in Strathmore
PAT FULE Fule for Thought Sleep is such an important thing, but it is also one of those things we dont think about much, until were not getting enough. I have been battling insomnia for the past four days. Its caused me to have more time to think, maybe too much time! One night, I was wondering about the reality show, Storage Wars. I was wondering, what if you were watching one evening, and you actually recognized your own storage locker and your own stuff! Itd be like, hey, thats all our stuff I thought you renewed the rent!? Theyre bidding on our stuff! As a kid, I was a crappy sleeper. My mind would get worked up about the various things going on, Id stress about school and tests it went on and on. I can distinctly remember sneaking out and hiding behind one end of the couch to watch TV secretly with my parents right there (remember this is the same mom who snored away while we unwrapped and played with a table hockey set!). I will say this, a 7 year old kid should really not try and watch Twilight Zone and then try and go back to sleep! My older brother Gary never had sleep issues. When we shared a room with bunk beds, I used to get so mad that hed fall asleep so easily, while I tossed and turned! I never told him, but sometimes Id drop something from the top bunk to try and wake him, so I wouldnt be the only one still awake! There was only one time when his sleeping became a real issue, and that was more of a sleep walking issue (I read that early in his life, Elvis walked in his sleep, and once woke up outside in his underwear!). Maybe thats why Elvis used so many pills later on, so hed stay asleep, and not roam around in his blue suede slippers! Anyway, my brother got up abruptly one early morning and shufed off out of our room and down the hall. I dont know why, but I decided to follow. There he was, at our kitchen garbage can lid up, and he was about to pee there, thinking he was in the bathroom! He was also mumbling something, so I had to wake him. You know, how they say you should never startle a sleepwalking person, well I did! I yelled what are you doing? at the top of my lungs. He woke up not very happy, but he did wake up! Gary was a combination of mad, embarrassed, and groggy, but I had saved our garbage can! Sometimes, even the most dynamic teacher can wind up with a sleepy student in class. Now, Im not saying Im the dynamic one, but I do like to have some energy in the room. If someone does doze off during classroom work, I like to let him or her get into a deep sleep. Let him feel cozy and comfortable, so that when I slam a book down next to his head, it really scares the crap out of him! There do have to be some perks to the job! One morning a student fell into what looked like a very deep sleep. I quietly set the room clock ahead by a few hours, and motioned silently for the class to get up, and le out of the room. I had gotten almost the whole class out, when he abruptly woke. He looked up confusedly at the clock, then shot a fast glance our way, as the last few students and I were caught! If only, we had gotten out a couple of minutes earlier it would have been a great learning moment for this kid! So, Ive tried a few methods to sleep that friends have given me. Ive tried warm milk, a cool room temperature, a happy hour beverage, soft noises heck I even have a clock radio that plays ocean waves or forest noises. I was getting desperate, and even my sleep machine for apnea wasnt helping. Although, I really think that a part of my problem with sleep is wearing the stupid mask and its hose! I feel like Im some kind of alien trying to breathe, and even rolling over is a big chore, because you often have to move the hose too. Thats how it sometimes gets wrapped around your throat, I guess. Ive even thought about putting vodka in the water tray that would help me sleep! Or would it!? Maybe Debs more involved than I thought. I mean, when I snored badly, she did talk about smothering me with a pillow. Maybe these nights Ive had trouble falling asleep, and breathing, shes been kinking off the breathing hose! That would explain a lot of things: not falling asleep, my messed up hair in the morning, the mask marks embedded into my face! All these things point to me struggling to stay alive all night! Maybe its time to re-check the old will!

SHANNON LEClAIR Times Reporter Snow is a word and topic many are probably sick of by now, but the reality is its winter and this year its hitting us harder than most. One of the challenges facing the snow clearing crews is making sure the pathways around Strathmore are also being maintained and cleared of snow. Theres seldom a shortage of people walking their dogs, jogging, skateboarding, bicycling or strolling with baby carriages. These paths are used 12 months a year and should always provide both a chance for people to exercise or to simply get from one location to another, said Councillor Bob Sobol reading from a prepared statement at the Jan. 8 council meeting. He said all it takes is just 15 minutes of sitting near one of the pathways, like the one on Wheatland Trail in town, and you can see just how many people use them. Concerns were raised by residents about area pathways that were still snow covered by Dec. 27. Sobol stated that the town expects and has a bylaw that requires that citizens remove the snow from in front of their property within 48 hours. The town is part of that pathway system and he wanted to know why as a municipality the town is not held to the same level of responsibility. This year is denitely a bigger challenge. Theres a lot more snow, said Jesse Parker, director of operations and engineering for the town.
A couple of years ago there was a lot less snow and a lot more busy work. The busy work consisted of going out with the broom and sweeping in those smaller events and they were maintained a lot easier. This year it has not just been the falling snow that has been a problem; it has been the wind and the drifting snow. The sides of the pathways get built up and then the wind dumps snow into the space between. This makes it so the removal crew has to keep going in and clearing it, which can prevent them from making it to other pathways that are some of the main ones. There are more pathways every year and so thats another thing we have got to keep in mind, said Chief Administrative Ofcer Dwight Stanford. Councillor Denise Peterson questioned if there was a cost estimate for snow clearing on pathways. The reason that I bring that up is that we have just in the time that I have been here increased pathways signicantly. I just wondered if there is a cost for clearing attached pathways, if thats not something that council needs to consider because that is going to become a signicant budget item, thats not going away its going to increase and have an impact on our bottom line, said Peterson. She would like to see information being gathered and at a future date would like to discuss possibly having people or groups adopt sections of pathways, which is what happened with the TransCanada Trail.

The Alberta Cup program is a core Hockey Alberta Development Program. It provides players, coaches, trainers, administrators and referees an equal opportunity to discover the great qualities of competitive hockey in a well-organized and fair Zone Camp and Select Team competition. The Alberta Cup program begins with Zone Camps (one in each of the 8 zones) that are designed to give all players, coaches, trainers and referees an opportunity to show their skills as well as receive top level instruction and evaluation from quality people identied by Hockey Alberta. The Alberta Cup prides itself on the aspects of equality and fairness when evaluating and selecting the top 20 athletes, 3 coaches, 1 trainer and 2 referees to represent each zone in the Alberta Cup competition. At the end of the four month process the Alberta Cup leads able participants to the Team Alberta Program U16 Male Provincial Camp. The Alberta Cup Program begins in March each year with over 1000 players trying out at their respective zone camps. There are eight Alberta Cup zones and each player is attempting to land 1 of 20 spots on each of the eight teams. The eight zone teams will then compete in the Alberta Cup Tournament in April of each year. Athletes eligible for the 2014 Alberta Cup program are male players that were born in 1999.
Opportunities available
Paying respect
SHARON MCLEAY Times Contributor Who should be the one to lay a remembrance wreath at remembrance ceremonies? This is the question that was considered on Dec. 17, in Wheatland County council chambers, as many times the Reeve or area councillors are asked to place wreaths at community ceremonies. I really believe that the wreath should be presented by a veteran in the community, said Councillor Berniece Bland. To me, it is what it is all about. When you havent been in their situation, you cant even begin to understand what it means. Councillor Rex Harwood considered there were a number of ceremonies conducted throughout the county for Remembrance Day, and agreed with Bland that if a veteran is available, they should be contacted to place the wreath. However, other councillors pointed out that many veterans had passed on, so the selection pool was narrowing; or, they may have declined the offer due to physical restrictions or availability. Councillor Alice Booth pointed out the Gleichen community set their ceremony to address fallen heroes of 1928 this year, and the community had no issues with the ceremony protocol as it was presented. Councillor Ben Armstrong said laying the wreath is also a way to pay respect to the fallen, for the freedoms we receive due to the sacrices made for everyones freedom. He said other municipalities have representatives from council lay a wreath on behalf of their citizens, and to date, veterans didnt seem to have an issue with it. Councillor Brenda Knight said some veterans dont want to be part of the ceremony, but rather want to remain in quiet contemplation with their families, showing their respects in other ways. It is not about placing the wreath, its about remembering why they fought and making sure they are not forgotten, said Knight. WORKPLACE ACTION PLAN Results of a 2013 Workplace survey gave Chief Administrative Ofcer (CAO) Alan Parkin solid direction to develop action items that would improve Wheatland County workplace conditions for staff. He presented his plan to council for their approval. The plan has eight action items and with your approval we will proceed and direct the general manager for their implementation, said Parkin. The CAO will provide a written employee brieng, available to all staff that will outline the action plan. He recommended orientation for newly hired staff, solidication and action on approved budget items, developing a leadership campaign, implementation of a performance management system, conducting a compensation review, developing a non-harassment policy with subsequent procedures, and improvement to the washroom facilities. CANADIAN BADLANDS LEVY Council approved the levy of 50 cents per person to continue to be paid to the Canadian Badlands Ltd (CBL) for 2014. The levy, which is used by the non-prot group to develop and promote tourism opportunities in Southern Alberta. The total payment comes to $4,142.50 for Wheatland County. CBL is made up of 61 cooperative regional municipal partners, and funds are matched by provincial and federal funding. In the past, council had written the group to ask them to consider changing the levy to a formula, to compensate between large and smaller municipal population areas. To date no such formula has been developed. They also wanted a summary of the past years activities affecting Wheatland County. Councillor Alice Booth suggested they could bring up any issues at the organizations annual general meeting, which is held in the spring. COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT A reminder that applications for community enhancement grant money need to be led before Jan. 31, 2014. The board has two vacancies, which will be lled prior to review of 2014 applications. The Community Enhancement Grant Funding is intended to enhance, promote and support groups and organizations in the Wheatland area. Ideas that bring enjoyment, benet, beauty, recreation, entertainment, or participation and enhancement to other members of the community are considered. All applications are considered on their own merit. For more information see www.wheatlandcounty.ca or call the county ofce.

Strathmore Storm Novice A vs Chestermere Strathmore Storm Novice C vs Chestermere
In their first home game of the season, the Holy Cross Collegiate Hawks boys junior basketball team dominated Notre Dame Collegiate 79-39 on Jan. 9. The Hawks are now 2-1 in season play, and have their league game against Strathcona Tweedsmuir on Jan. 30.
Hawks y to victory
Strathmore Storm Novice C vs Chestermere
Five Strathmore teams competed against seven others in the Novice Tournament from Jan. 11-12 at the Strathmore Family Centre. Over 170 players were awarded medals after playing three exhibition games.
The Holy Cross Collegiate (HCC) Hawks boys had their rst junior varsity basketball game against Foothills Composite High School on Dec. 10, and were defeated 80-35. On Jan. 9, the Hawks were the ones punishing, as they defeated Notre Dame Collegiate 79-39 during their rst home game of the season. It was a good game. A lot of the things that we set out to do, we did fairly well, HCC coach Tony Irving said. I thought they pushed the ball very well. They were getting the ball fast enough down the court so the other team hadnt properly set up defense, which is where you draw more fouls, but its also where you create more two-onones and three-on-twos. HCC dominated defensive rebounds, which eventually led to many offensive rushes during the matchup against Notre Dame. This, and fouls, will be the key points for the Hawks upcoming tournament in Canmore from Jan. 11-12. This game was a big tune-up for our tournament in Canmore on the weekend, Irving said. One of our big concerns is really going at individual players who have strength on the other team and getting them into a little bit of foul trouble thats going to be one of our goals every game. Irving and the Hawks will get a closer look in Canmore at some squads that they may face later in the season once again. Some of these teams (this weekend) may be teams in our league, Irving said. Youre not very far into a game when you see who their best players are. The objective offensively should be always get their best players in trouble. The HCC boys team was under the varsity category last year; however, most players graduated this past June. We have a fairly young team. I have three Grade 11s and eight Grade 10s, Irving said. We do have three people that played on our varsity team last year, who provide a lot of leadership. Im a real systems and mechanics coach, so we have a long way to go. In their second game of the school year, the Hawks defeated Oilelds High School 74-68 on Dec. 17; with this second win in a row, the Hawks hope to have their streak continue into their next game at home against Strathcona Tweedsmuir on Jan. 30.

The Hussar Curling Club held their annual mens bonspiel from Jan. 5-11, with eight teams of four vying for the cash prize. Teams came as far as Bassano, Standard, and Cluny to compete. Top: Doug Brown - Skip, Donald Brown Third, Kyle Crump - 2nd, Jackie Jensen Lead. Middle: (l-r) Barry Kaiser - Skip, Murray Brown - 3rd, Mike Schempp - 2nd, Geoff Fraser - Lead. Bottom: (l-r) Darren Firkus - Skip, Don Cuthill - 3rd, Mike Rasmussen - 2nd, Steve Churchill - Lead
The UFA Bisons had a successful road-trip to Edmonton, defeating the Knights of Columbus Pats 6-3 on Jan. 11, and the MLAC United Cycle Maple Leafs by a score of 8-3 the next day. In the 6-3 victory, team captain Mackenzie Bauer scored a hat-trick, including one on the powerplay. We got Mackenzie back, that was helpful, Bisons coach Dan MacDonald said. He got to play in the Macs, and then he got sick with the u. So he hasnt played much in the last two months. Him getting a chance to participate helped. Troy van Tetering added a goal, while Mason McCarty scored the other two. McCarty returned to play earlier in January, after having missed the Macs Tournament with a wrist injury. McCarty notched another two in the win over MLAC, as did call up Markus Lavallee from the Rockyview Raiders of the AMMHL, including the game winner. He was called up because we do
have injuries, but also because hes played really well with the 15s, MacDonald said. If they play well, and we need an extra player, they get a chance. He did a really well with us in that game. Lavallee has 13 points in 20 games this season for the Raiders, and may stay in the lineup due to illnesses to Ryan Zeniuk and Connor Boyd. They got the u, and its just not going away, MacDonald said. Theyre not able to practice, thats just the way it is. Zeniuk and Boyd are expected back in February, after the Bisons have a week off following a matchup against the Canadian Olympic Womens Team on Jan. 17 at Winsport in Calgary. They really play well defensively, MacDonald said of the ladies. Were going to have to play like we did last weekend. We have to do things to create goals drive the net, and play the puck real well. If we do that, then well be okay. Theyll play good defensively, thats what they do best. The teams next home game is Jan. 19 (2 p.m.) versus Red Deer.
