Strathmore teen takes opportunity to learn more about politics
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
An interest in politics and government
is not something many teens have, but
one Strathmore High School, SHS, stu-
dent does. Jonah Zankl had the oppor-
tunity to spend a week in Edmonton as
a part of the Forum for Young Albertans.
“It was recommended by Mr. Pirie who
is my social teacher. I signed up, and I
got accepted,” said Zankl.
“He’s an outstanding student, not only
academically, but also in the sense that
he works hard, he’s willing to interact
with others and he’s very mature,” said
Rob Pirie, an SHS teacher.
This was the first time in a few years
that an SHS student has participated in
the forum. Pirie said he is not sure why
the school hasn’t sent anyone in the
last few years, but thinks one part of it
might be the fact that many of the stu-
dents aren’t ready to go off on their own.
Pirie also said he would argue that the
name hinders some young people from
wanting to go. He said the name doesn’t
sound exciting, and politics and govern-
ment isn’t something a lot of young peo-
ple have an interest in.
“Anybody who ever went has just
raved about it, which is unfortunate that
not too many go,” said Pirie.
Zankl had signed up for the forum in
February, and heard in March that he
was accepted to take part in it.
“We did everything from listening to
speakers…we were at the courthouse all
day,” said Zankl.
“We talked to a whole bunch of dif-
ferent MLA’s and leaders of the differ-
ent parties. We talked to somebody from
CBC, who told us sort of what her role is
being the media in the government. We
met with the speaker and got to sit down

on the floor.”
The 29 students who took part had a
tour of the legislature in Edmonton, din-
ner with the MLA’s, and had a chance to
go to the top of the legislature.
“We had a bunch of different panels
so that we could ask questions of all the
parties and see where their views dif-
fered,” said Zankl.
“We had four hours in the legislature
where it was just us and we got to de-
bate within the house so that was really
cool.”
Zankl said there was no one thing that
stood out as the best, because it was
such a great experience. He said though,
if he would have to pick, it would prob-
ably be listening to the panels, because it
interested him how, in Alberta, there can
be a group of people that vary so much
and that it really opened his eyes.
The students also got to sit in on a
question period, which got a little rowdy Jonah Zankl recently got back from a week long
when the leader of the liberals posed a trip to Edmonton as part of the Forum for Young

Letters to the editor
Making the right choice this election
To the Editor
There are currently some interesting happenings
on the Canadian campaign trail. And while ultimately
the voters will decide the direction Canada will take,
we should be careful to look what unfortunate things
are currently happening in other countries in the
world. And more importantly, we should try to learn
from the experiences in those countries.
As we all know, many countries in the European
Union were not as fortunate as Canada, under the
capable leadership of Prime Minister Harper. They
simply did not survive one of the worst recessions in
the world. To name a few: Ireland, Portugal, Greece,
Spain - all countries which have asked or will ask
the European Union to financially bail them out. If
they are not bailed out, these countries will simply
go bankrupt. Now, it is interesting to note that all of
these countries were or are lead by Socialist or Social
Democratic leaders (similar to the current NDP). Po-
litical analysts in Europe believe that the EU is in big
trouble and that a number of other countries will face
the same economic uncertainties.
Also, just recently, South of our border, in the Unit-

To the Editor
April marks the 60th anniversary of the Battle of
Kapyong – one of the most significant battles fought
by the Canadians in the Korean War.
As a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, a
group of committed young people who are dedicated
to preserving Canada’s military heritage, I would like
to highlight this anniversary.
On April 24-25, 1951, the 2nd Battalion of Princess
Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry engaged in the Bat-
tle of Kapyong. From their stand on Hill 677, the Pa-
tricia’s managed to hold their positions and re-open
the supply route despite tremendous odds and bitter
fighting. The Canadian action at Kapyong stopped the
Chinese advance in this sector of the front for the rest
of the war and earned the battalion the US Presiden-
tial Citation for valour.

with the show Iron Scout uses a theme or spe-

was Super Heroes and the special ingredient was

ed States of America, under the leadership of a Demo-

there was a real crisis. The US Congress refused to
sign spending bills because the US is currently facing
the largest deficit and debt load in their history. In
fact, there are quite a few economists that are predict-

And then we have Canada who, facing the same

any industrialized country in the world. In fact, Mr.

Local authors gather for an evening
shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Libraries can be considered dusty, old places
filled with books and not much to do. Jennifer
Young, Library Technician at Crowther Memorial
Junior High, CMJH, is trying to change that out-
look.
“We’re trying to do things…in the library, we’ve
made a lot of changes there this year, just to keep
it current and interesting,” said Young.
“Most people think of libraries as this big room
with dusty books in it, and we’re really trying to
change that.”
Once or twice a month she tries to bring in dif-
ferent people within the community to speak to
the kids. Young had contacted Aviva Bel’Harold,
who had done some author readings at the school
before, about bringing her back to the school over
lunch hour to talk about her new book. Bel’Harold

RCMP Briefs
Marihuana grow-op search
On April 19, at 3:47 p.m., the Chestermere RCMP - along
with assistance of the joint forces Calgary Police Service/
RCMP Green Team South team - executed a Controlled Drugs
and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant at a residence lo-
cated in the Hawkmere Way area of Chestermere. This resi-
dence was identified as a potential marihuana grow-op loca-
tion. Judicial authorization was granted for the search warrant
through the Calgary Hearing Office. The search warrant result-
ed from a long-term Chestermere RCMP investigation.
Located inside the residence were two females aged 61 and
24 and one male aged 61 years old. All were arrested incident
to this search. A second male, aged 31, was arrested in the
area a short time later during a vehicle stop. The four arrested
persons were taken before the Justice of the Peace Hearing
Office and were released on numerous conditions. They are all
set to appear in Strathmore Provincial Court on May 17.
This residence contained a small but sophisticated mari-
huana grow operation. About five pounds of harvested mari-
huana worth about $25,000 was seized along with the equip-
ment used to grow the marihuana. The residence is a rental
property with the landlords residing out of province. A health
authority attended the residence and only the basement area
was deemed a health concern.
The planning of the search warrant execution took into ac-
count the safety of the public. The assistance of the public
was instrumental in identifying this residence and assisting
with the evidence gathering to obtain the search warrant.
If anyone has any information in this crime or any other
please contact the Chestermere RCMP at (403) 207-8777 or
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or through the internet at
www.tipsubmit.com.
Chestermere House Fire
At approximately 5 a.m. on April 25, Chestermere RCMP,
Rocky View Fire Services and Calgary EMS were dispatched
Crime stoppers will pay cash rewards up to $2000.00 for information that leads to an arrest, the recovery of stolen property or seizure of illegal
drugs. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display and the identity of the caller will remain anonymous.

“It’s just a fun evening. It’s four authors and an
editor who are coming. I believe most of them are
self-published,” said Young,
“So they’re just talking about their books, and the
self publishing route, and the editor is going to talk
about what needs to be done and stuff like that.”
Young said this time they are bringing in all local
authors but next time may try to bring in authors
from out of town. The authors range from teen fic-
tion to fantasy, and Young said it promises to be a
fun evening. Most of them will have their books for
sale, and Young is hoping for a group of 30 people.
“Anybody is welcome, parents, students, anyone
interested in writing themselves, are all welcome as
well,” said Stephanie Koller, who is helping orga-
nize the evening.
The Author evening begins at 7 p.m. in the CMJH

At 1:40 a.m. on March 22 a fire raged through a home at the corner of Briarwood Road
and Briarwood Crescent in Strathmore. Four neighbouring homes were evacuated
for the safety of the occupants due to the severity of the fire and wind direction. The
occupants of the residence where the fire started were not home at the time. A second
residence next to the first, was damaged by the fire.

Utility rates passed third and final reading
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
A change to utility rates was
proposed at the regular council
meeting on April 20. The changes
would see the monthly convey-
ance and maintenance charges go
down by 50 per cent. The potable
water charge would be revised
to $1.60 for usage up to 30 cu-
bic metres per month, and every-
thing beyond would be charged
$1.65. The proposal was initiated
to conserve water. Forty-nine per
cent of the bills in town use 11
cubic metres or less per month,
and for people who use approxi-
mately 22 cubic metres, it should
be an increase of $10 per month
on their utility bill. Councillor
Earl Best voiced his concerns that
large families would be penalized
by the changes, and was opposed
to the motion, forcing it to come
back at a later date.
On April 26, a special meeting
was called to order to give third
and final reading to the Utility
Rates and Penalties bylaw. Coun-
cillors Bob Sobol and Best were
unable to attend the meeting.
“The reason for this meeting re-
lates to our utility rates and pen-
alties bylaw that we had on the
floor at our last council meeting.
There was one councillor who
voted twice in a row, and voted a
third time no, and he has a right
to do that. I also would like to
say that in the audience of coop-
Donations needed
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Through her position with Western
Storage, one woman has decided to help
a lesser-known organization in their
time of need.
Christy Bangen works closely with Al-
berta Association for Community Living,
AACL, and their Alberta Community Liv-
ing Foundation, ACLF, and has realized
they are in need of help.
“It’s sort of been a rough time lately.
Seasonally, I mean the weather certainly
plays a role,” said Shawn Ergang, who is
the COO of the AACL and in charge of
the ACLF.
“Typically by this time of year we see
a large spike in donations, just as people
get into their garages and get outside,
and start doing their yard work. Basi-
cally the spring cleaning phenomena,
which has been pushed back, sort of re-
peatedly, based on weather.”
Another factor is an increasing need,
and there is plenty of competition for
the donations. The ACLF utilizes West-
ern Storage trailers for the storage and

eration those things shouldn’t be
done,” said Mayor Steve Grajczyk.
“It’s ok to have your own voice
and opinion and vote the way you
want to vote, but when you know
six are going to vote anyway for
it, and it’s going to pass regard-
less, and you’re demanding a spe-
cial meeting is what I call a sand-
box vote. It’s not a mature vote,
and I think it is absolutely deplor-
able that they take those liberties
when you could have possibly
cost the town $30,000 to $50,000
in utility income for that period
of time.”
If council had waited until the
next council meeting, it would
have been too late to charge the
new rates on the next utility bill.
For the two month utility bill peo-
ple would have been charged the
old rate, which would have cost
the town $30,000 to $50,000.
taxi bylaw to be assessed
Martin DePeuter of Strathmore
Economy Taxi spoke to council
on April 20, revisiting the taxi by-
laws approved November 2008.
“We have a taxi bylaw here in
the town of Strathmore that, in
my opinion, doesn’t cover half of
what needs to be covered,” said
DePeuter.
Some of the concerns brought
up involve vehicle maintenance,
the renewal of permits and down-
sizing the number of people al-
lowed in a taxi. Another concern
he brought up is the permits all
movement of the donated
items.
The Alberta Community
Living Foundation is the
fund development arm of the
AACL. It’s a family-governed
organization that has been
around for over 50 years.
“What we actually utilize
our donations for is, we use
them for fund development
purposes,” said Ergang.
“So we solicit and collect
used clothing, and household
goods. Then we sell those, to
the Value Village stores at a
preset contracted rate, and
we use those funds to help
the families that we serve.”

drivers are required to carry, usu-
ally placed on the dash. DePeuter
would like to see the permits as
a badge pinned to the lapel, with
names and information listed on
the back, where passengers can’t
easily see it. Council accepted De-
Peuter’s presentation as informa-
tion to be sent to the bylaw office
for further assessment.
Ridge Road
On April 6, council directed
administration to set up a capital
budget for repairs along Ridge
Road. On April 20, Jesse Parker,
Director of Engineering and Op-
erations for the town, presented
the proposed capital budget for
approval. Using the 2009 AECOM
report as a basis for coming up
with a capital budget, Parker de-
termines it will cost approximate-
ly $2.25 million. He said approxi-
mately 2 million for project costs,
with the remaining $250,000 for
the engineering and contingency
costs associated with the project.
The scope of the project in-
cludes replacing aging under-
ground utilities, installing a storm
water collection system, re-con-
structing the road sub-structure,
and surface work improvements.
The surface work improvements
include a curb, gutter and side-
walk. Parker estimates the side-
walk could cost $300,000.
There was lengthy debate about
ensuring the road width remains
the same, or wider. The sidewalk
The ACLF is always col-
lecting donations, which are
a primary source of unre-
stricted funds for the associa-
tion. Unrestricted funds allow
them to react to families in
crisis, whereas government
funding only allows them
to use the funds for specific
tasks.
Bangen has organized an
exclusive donation pick-up
service by Western Storage
for the ACLF on May 14 and
15 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The trailer will be located at
the Speargrass golf course.
Unfortunately, the ACLF is
not able to accept furniture.

Bisons dish out the hardware
Mario Prusina
Times Editor
The UFA Bisons capped off
their 2010-2011 season on April
21, when they hosted their an-
nual awards banquet at the
Strathmore Civic Centre.
Flanked by family and friends,
the players were honoured for
their efforts during this past
season, where they made it all
the way to the South Division
Championship series.
After taking six weeks to di-
gest the loss, Bisons head coach
Parry Shockey deemed the sea-
son a success.
“It was as good as it gets,” said
Shockey with pride. “Everyone
measures a season on wins and
losses and that sort of thing,
(but) personally as a coaching
staff, we measure it on a devel-
opment of players. I think a lot
of these kids will have a chance
times
top defenceman
hardest working bison
Dedication, perseverance & sportsmanship
to play at the next level.
“That’s how success is mea-
sured.”
Shockley said it was a privi-
lege to work with elite athletes
and very satisfying to see their
development over the course of
the season.
He is specifically excited to
see what the future holds for
his players.
“When the season is over, I
get to go from being a coach to
being a fan,” said Shockey. “So
that’s where we go now – to see
these guys move on. Whether
it’s in hockey or (not). I’ve had
guys come back to (visit) me
who are stockbrokers, lawyers
and stuff like that. That’s impor-
tant (to me).”
According to Shockey, it was
difficult to make the award se-
lections this season. That is
because his team was well bal-
anced from front to back.

Expanded league makes
Rockies extinct
Mario Prusina
Shayne Gwinner Times Editor
The merger of the West-
ern Women’s Hockey
League into the Canadian
Women’s Hockey League
has dissolved the Strath-
more Rockies franchise.
The WWHL, which con-
sisted of teams from Strath-
Sam McKechnie more, Edmonton, Manitoba,
Minnesota and the dormant
Calgary Oval Extreme fran-
top scorer
chise, will essentially com-
bine its top players and
create an Alberta team that
will compete in the CWHL
beginning this fall.
The expansion into west-
ern Canada will make the
Luke Philp league North America’s

Brenda Andress, Executive
Director of the CWHL, in
a release. “We are thrilled
about the popularity of
women’s hockey and are
proud to add a new team
to our roster, offering new
opportunities for North
American women to play
hockey.”
According to Holmes-
Domagala, the merger has
been in the works for about
a year and will help the
sport grow in the future.
By combining the elite
players from western Cana-
da, it truly creates a profes-
sional league with the best
players in North America.
With Strathmore’s team

Domagala is not sure how
she will react when hockey
starts up again in the fall.
“I haven’t thought about
it – it’s probably going to
be tougher for me once the
season comes and there is
no Rockies,” she said. “I
started the Rockies to (cre-
ate) something bigger and
better for women’s hockey,
so this is not really ending,
it’s just evolving in a differ-
ent form.
“The tears will probably
come in August-September
when we would normally
have our camp, but right
now, it’s just an exciting
thing for women’s hock-
ey to have all of the elite
teams under one league.”
The Rockies, who spent
a handful of seasons in
Strathmore, are grateful for
the chance to call the town
home.
“We’ve had a lot of sup-
port – the Town of Strath-
more itself was the reason
we were able to hang our
hats there,” said Holmes-
Domagala. “Everyone at
the rink, our fans, were
really supportive. The oth-
er teams, the Wheatland
Kings, the Bisons, minor
hockey – everybody really
made it happen for us. We
thank them very much for
everything.”

Pool league done for another season
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The Strathmore 8 Ball pool league
just wrapped up the season with their
annual banquet on April 23.
The pool league has been in town
for approximately 10 to 15 years, and
many people may not have known it
exists.
“It’s a fun Wednesday night, and it’s
usually from about October to March,”
said Jennifer Jordan, who has been a
member for the past five years.
This year between spares and the
members, there were 114 people in
the league.
She said for the upcoming season
they plan to advertise and have a gen-
eral meeting. The meeting will allow
anyone who is interested, but may not
have heard about the league, an op-
portunity to find out more about it.
Previously, the league wold call for-
mer players to see if they would like
to return in the new season. Jordan
said they also plan to coordinate tour-
naments with the new club COOTERS
this year on Monday nights.
The league is open to everyone in
Wheatland County, but games are only
held in Strathmore.
Jordan said when there was inclem-
ent weather, the team in Gleichen
would make arrangements with the
other team to play on another night.

Strathmore Minor Ball is gearing up
for a new season, with registration fin-
ishing up on April 15. This year, for the
girls teams, there is one bantam team,
two peewee teams, one squirt team and
a mite program that just runs in town.
Approximately 90 girls are registered.
“That’ll be our numbers probably all
the time for a community this size,”
said Lanky Johnson, coordinator for
the girls teams.
Practice began on April 19 for the
some of the girls, and their season be-
gins next weekend.
The boys teams are on par with pre-
vious years as well. There are 13 teams,
plus nine t-ball teams getting ready for

Jordan.
“It’s really just a fun league, come
out and have a good time, and as long
as you enjoy pool it’s for you.”
The only requirements are players
must be over 18-years-old, and there
is a sign up fee of $20 at the begin-
ning of the year. There is also a weekly
fee involved. The weekly fee is usu-
ally about $10, plus whatever the
table costs. Each team only pays for
two games out of the four they play.
Whichever team racks is the one that
pays that round.
“Any monies taken in, with the ex-
ception of the $1.25 that goes into the
pool table for your game, it all goes
back to the players at the end of the
year,” said Jordan.
All of the money raised from the
sign up fee and the weekly fee goes
back into the year-end banquet.

Steve Wallace, Registrar for Strath-

rectors should be contacting parents
and players soon.
“I guess the big change this year is
the two local bantam teams that…this
year we’ve got an additional two teams
that are going to play in a local league
that is just being kind of put together
with Hussar, and potentially Bassano
and some of the surrounding towns
there,” said Wallace.
There will be four teams in Strath-

this year, one from bantam, peewee,

“We’re going to try to get it started

Newest rodeo society
finishes up inaugural year
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
The Wheatland Cowboys and Cow-
girls Rodeo Society have wrapped up
their inaugural year, with only a ban-
quet on May 6 left. The society is a
non-profit organization focused on
promoting family fun, good sportsman-
ship while teaching, learning, and par-
ticipating in rodeo.
“It’s just to promote a family activ-
ity, and get the kids ready for the high
school rodeo if they’re interested in
that, and keep the sport of rodeo alive,”
said Gerald Alleman, a board member
with the society.
The youngest member of the society
is three-years-old, up to 18-years-old.
There were 34 kids registered for this
past year, with room for up to 60 kids.
“It’s a great stepping stone to teach
the kids,” said Crystal Stevens, another
board member with the society.
The society added break-away rop-
ing, which is different from the club
they are mirroring out of Okotoks. Ste-
vens said the men are doing a great job
of teaching the kids how to rope. The
time of year may be a little off from the
usual rodeo season, which was inten-
tional.
“So that the kids have something to
do and to prepare for rodeo season,”
said Stevens about their reasoning.
“It’s important for our area…I believe
and I think we all believe, for the rodeo
families or for the rodeo in this area,
this has been very good for them.”

hasn’t been an issue for this group, and
Stevens said people are still approach-

She said the families are a great help,
making it easier for organizers to take
a few minutes away if needed.
“It’s been really good,” said Stevens.
Both Stevens and Alleman said the
guidance, support and knowledge of
Kim McDonald has been tremendous,
and they are both grateful to have him
helping.
“I love coming to these events,
they’re so cute to watch. The kids are
just adorable and it’s amazing how well
they can ride,” said Kenna Lockwood,
Miss Rodeo Okotoks.
She said she had been invited to the
Okotoks final and since she had the
weekend free she decided to head this
way to watch the Wheatland kids at
their final.
“Having rodeos that they can go to in
the winter is just great. It gets them on
their horses and practice, it’s just per-
fect,” said Lockwood.
“It’s a really good way to get the kids
out and keep them in the rodeo circuit
and rodeo life in the winter.”
The new season will start in Septem-
ber, and there is still plenty of room
for anyone interested. Rodeo experi-
ence isn’t a requirement. To find out

11 year trip coming to an end
Shannon LeClair
Times Reporter
Some people have called him crazy,
others wish they could take off like he
has, and Jean Beliveau admits it all may
have stemmed from a midlife crisis. Be-
liveau’s name is well known all over the
world, as the man who literally walked
the world.
“I needed to change something in my
life and then, I walk about,” said Be-
liveau with a laugh.
It began on August 18, 2000, the day
the Quebec native turned 45-years-old.
He packed up a three-wheel stroller,
a tent, supplies and left. Beliveau had
kept the secret of what he was planning
to do for eight months, only telling his
wife and family a few weeks before he
left.
“After eight month secret, I didn’t tell
her because I was afraid that…people
they love you, they have time to break
your dream,” said Beliveau.
“It was too fragile, I told them just
three and a half weeks to go and then
finally she said we try. She said do this
for peace.”
Which is exactly what he did. He fol-
lowed the theme of the United Nations
delegate for peace for children.
“Now it’s nearly finished, I say always
I’m on the driveway home,” said Be-
liveau.
“These Canadians, they are so warm.
From Vancouver, I had chain all the way
through the mountains to stay inside.”
On April 12, one Strathmore family
helped continue the chain, allowing the
